"Library" Projects vs "Projects & Albums" Projects

Hello all,
I have been using Aperture for about three years. I have Aperture 3 on three different Macs.
Prevously I have been using Windows XP and have been storing photos in directories on the hard drive the old fashioned way.
I have some questions about the storage structure of Aperture and I cannot find the answer in the Manual nor online.
Here we go.
1. When I import photo's into Aperture, it creates a "Project" both under "Library" Projects and under "Projects & Albums."
Q: If I delete a project under "Library" do the photo's contained in that project get deleted from Aperture's Library?
Q: If I delete a project under "Projects & Albums" do the photo's contained in that project get deleted from Aperture's Library?
2. I have been a user of Mobile Me gallery since it came out, even before I bought Aperture. I have synced the Mobile Me galleries with my copy of Aperture 3 on each of the mac's so I have redundant copies. I understand that Aperture will automatically sync changed photos so I am pretty sure all the image files for each mobile me gallery now exists on my hard drives.
Q: As Mobile Me Gallery will not longer be supported in June, if I delete a Moble Me Gallery via Aperture, will the images in my Aperture Library still be there?
I know this question seems odd, but the manual is not really clear on this issue.
3. While I am here asking the pro's this is a question I think I have figured out.
Q: The Vault list shows a Bar for each vault. It has a caption that says something like
The Bar has hashes on the right side and solid color on the left. I assume this shows The total Drive side, and the total amount of free space availble at that moment, yet it does not show the size of the actual vault. And Green means plenty of room left, red means getting close to full. Dum quesiton but I need varification.
Thank you very much for your patients with a relatively new Aperture User.
Mike

Hello Mike,
All images (and all versions of an image) are stored in one and only one project. All versions of the same image are always part of the same project.
The "Photos" view shows you all versions of all of your images for quick access and filtering and searching, but it does not store the images - it is not a container like the projects, it's more like a smart album.
Then that new "Project" would contain "Versions" of the orginal files in the "Photos" section??
If you drag an image by accessing it from the Photos View, you will not drag it from the Photos View but move it from its original project to a the new project - this does not create new versions in the new project. The Photos View is just a neat feature to select all your images in one place, independent of the project they are stored in, like having a file of index cards to all your images.
If so, then if I delete that new "Project" under "Projects and Albums" it should just delete the "Versions" in that project??? and not the originals under "Library?"
Oh yes, deleting any project will certainly delete your original images. The only originals you see under "library" are projects in the "Projects" view, and that are exactly the same projects as under "Projects and Albums" - just different ways to access the same content.
What I was trying to find out is that if I delete a project, then that grouping created under that project would disappear but the original images would still be in the libary, just no longer assigned to that deleted project.
If you delete a project, from whatever view you use, the images stored in that project are gone. And since each image - and all its versions - belongs to only one project, that image will be removed from the library for good, if its project is deleted!
You really need to get a better understanding of the basic organizational structure of Aperture:
If you not have found it already, here is the User Manual, really worth reading:

How do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom drawn components of a Flex library project?

Hello folks,
I am looking for best practices advice when (1) creating
custom components and (2) styling and skinning.
I already know how to skin a component part of the Flex
framework. I can make a class extending ProgrammaticSkin and have
my component skinned using CSS to link the component with the
reference to my custom class.
However what about those cases when you are completely
creating a component from scratch?
Imagine a "Freehand Drawing Canvas" component that allows the
user to draw on it and has some buttons to set color styles, line
styles, etc., or imagine a "Screen Flow Gallery" component that
displays visual objects in a fashion similar to Cover Flow in the
Mac.
In many components I am aware you may reuse other components
part of the Flex framework but I am trying to picture an scenario
where you would need to draw everything yourself because there just
isn't something to base it upon so you will end up drawing it from
scratch.
To learn how instead of building one of those components I
mentioned previously I decided to start with something simple that
would illustrate this like a LiteButton component that will behave
just like the Flex mx.controls.Button but will extend UIComponent
and be completely custom drawn.
The component will have a default look and will also be
style-able and skin-able. I will provide styles for users of the
component to modify and regarding skinning anyone can create a
custom ProgrammaticSkin adding its own drawing logic and link it to
the component via CSS with the ClassReference applied to the skin
selector.
So far so good and it's clear what I want to achieve. I
actually know how to do most of the stuff here but I have one
single problem.
Here is my question, where should I put my custom drawing
logic? If I do it in the updateDisplayList inside the class
extending UIComponent it works, however I thought that it would be
a better practice to do it using programmatic skins, that way I
could provide different skin themes for my component set.
The problem is that I can't make the programmatic work in
this scenario. I tried instantiating the custom programmatic skin
during the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton component and adding
it to my display object via addChild but that didn't do anything. I
also tried creating a "default.css" stylesheet and tried to use
ClassReference as I would normally do to skin an already existing
component (or composite component as well) but that didn't do
anything either.
So how do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom
drawn components of my Flex library project?
I could do it inside the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton
class extending UIComponent but again I would like to provide
different theme sets for my components so it makes sense using
programmatic skins.

This may help with that

These aren't mutually exclusive. When you provide a skin with
a
TypeSelector, you have to add it to the display list
somewhere, and this is
typically done in updateDisplayList or addChildren. I prefer
to do it in
updateDisplayList, because you can then change it if the
style changes.

Exactly what did you do?

I've never had any problem using an approach similar to
this...but I will
say that I couldn't see any advantage in creating a
default.css style sheet,
since it's not really default in the way that the one that
comes with Flex
is. It's much more obvious to anyone using your component
what's going on
there if you create a style sheet where they're likely to
spot it.

It seems like your approach is fine, but maybe you've made a
mistake in your
implementation.

You might want to consider also adding an instance of
HaloBorder to your
component. That brings a lot of functionality with it.

Bug with swc folders and library projects?

Hi guys, hope someone can help here. We are just in the
process of starting a fairly large flex project and we were trying
to work out a solution so that I as a designer can view and edit
custom components with visual styles applied.
Now I know that you aren't meant to add a style tag into the
component but it was working for me and I could at least preview
the styles in 'design mode'.
The problem arises though when you have a large project with
shared assets across projects. I had 3 projects set up in my
workspace:
Project 1: Library project with css files, swc and graphics
Project 2: Library project with components for Project 3
Application
Project 3: Application project
What I did was to add a external source folder to Project 2
& 3 both of which was Project 1. So far so good, the css loaded
into my application from Project 1 and I could view my styles in my
custom componants in Project 2
But, I needed to add swc files for custom buttons etc in my
application. So, I thought I would just add an swc folder source to
my build path in both my Project 2 & 3 which referenced an swc
folder in Project 1. Well, it did work and I could view everything
fine but (and here is the main problem) this corrupts the
workspace. Once Flex has closed and tries to reopen my workspace it
hangs, same if I change workspace in Flex from another workspace to
this one.
Can anyone help? Is this a flex bug?
TIA

Library project errors and imports of projects using them

So this is something that I have put up with in FB for a long time now, but I decided to try doing some research today to see if there is a workaround as it is very annoying. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
I attempted to file a bug/feature request, but it turns out that for some unknown reason FB is the only Adobe application that gives a link to another url (http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/) and, today at least, the link is dead so I have to post here instead.
The problem is with library projects (which I love by the way). I use them a great deal and for more than just creating standalone APIs. As do many others, I like to have the core of many of my cross-platform projects in a library so that I can create other ‘harness’ projects for different runtimes and use the same bulk code. This way I can just write code in each master project that is particular to that runtime be it air or web or whatever - this is a great bit of functionality that I would really miss were it not there.
As a result of this workflow however, I am often working in the library project directly in order to update all versions of a project. The problem arises when there is an error in the library project. When this happens, all the projects reading from the library lose all linkages to the swc and as a result the problem tab fills up with hundreds of problems that don’t exist, because as far as those projects are now concerned the swc no longer exists.
Now I understand why this happens but surely FB could be made to understand what is going on and override (what I assume is) the compiler’s behaviour, and just not display these errors.
This whole thing is exacerbated by (and may not even be that big a problem where it not for) the fact that I am forced to turn off 'build automatically' due to the 4.7 crash bug that has been reported here numerous times. Because of this I tend to write large chunks of code between each compile so I don't instantly know what has broken.
Please save the feature that I enjoy so much by either getting FB to deal with the situation better or by fixing the crash bug so I can use ‘build automatically’ again… or god forbid… fix both!! I can dream. J
If anyone has any good tips regarding this please let me know.
Many thanks,
James

Can I then delete the project from the hard drive (as it's now in the library?) or will that delete the whole thing forever?
That depends on how you did import the projects. If your images are referenced they might still be stored in the previous projects, but if your library is managed, then it will be save to delete the projects you already imported.

How can i change the class in the Class Library project to be static or public so i can use it from the windows application project ?

First i know that when i make any changes to the class library project i need to rebuild the project then to remove the Capture.dll from the TestScreenshot project and then to add again the updated Capture.dll
The problem for example in this case i'm trying to use a public static variable i add in the DXHookD3D9.
In the DXHookD3D9 i added this public static variable:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
//using SlimDX.Direct3D9;
using EasyHook;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading;
using System.Drawing;
using Capture.Interface;
using SharpDX.Direct3D9;
namespace Capture.Hook
internal class DXHookD3D9: BaseDXHook
public DXHookD3D9(CaptureInterface ssInterface)
: base(ssInterface)
LocalHook Direct3DDevice_EndSceneHook = null;
LocalHook Direct3DDevice_ResetHook = null;
LocalHook Direct3DDevice_PresentHook = null;
LocalHook Direct3DDeviceEx_PresentExHook = null;
object _lockRenderTarget = new object();
Surface _renderTarget;
public static decimal framesperhourtodisplay = 0;
protected override string HookName
get
return "DXHookD3D9";
List<IntPtr> id3dDeviceFunctionAddresses = new List<IntPtr>(
framesperhourtodisplay
The problem is i can't even get to the Capture.Hook namespace and not to the DXHookD3D9 from the TestScreenshot application window project.
This is a screenshot:
For example fro the FramesPerSecond class i can use it get to it from the windows forms application.
namespace Capture.Hook
/// <summary>
/// Used to determine the FPS
/// </summary>
public class FramesPerSecond
int _frames = 0;
int _lastTickCount = 0;
float _lastFrameRate = 0;
Since it's public i guess.
But if i will change the DXHookD3D9 class from internal to public:
public class DXHookD3D9: BaseDXHook
I will get error on the DXHookD3D9:
Error 1
Inconsistent accessibility: base class 'Capture.Hook.BaseDXHook' is less accessible than class 'Capture.Hook.DXHookD3D9'
And the BaseDXHook class:
namespace Capture.Hook
internal abstract class BaseDXHook: IDXHook
protected readonly ClientCaptureInterfaceEventProxy InterfaceEventProxy = new ClientCaptureInterfaceEventProxy();
public BaseDXHook(CaptureInterface ssInterface)
this.Interface = ssInterface;
this.Timer = new Stopwatch();
this.Timer.Start();
this.FPS = new FramesPerSecond();
Interface.ScreenshotRequested += InterfaceEventProxy.ScreenshotRequestedProxyHandler;
Interface.DisplayText += InterfaceEventProxy.DisplayTextProxyHandler;
InterfaceEventProxy.ScreenshotRequested += new ScreenshotRequestedEvent(InterfaceEventProxy_ScreenshotRequested);
InterfaceEventProxy.DisplayText += new DisplayTextEvent(InterfaceEventProxy_DisplayText);
~BaseDXHook()
Dispose(false);
How can i solve it so i can use the variable framesperhourtodisplay in the DXHookD3D9 class with the TestScreenshot windows forms application ?

Hi,
I dont know if it will work here, since I dont know the complete structure, but the base call must be public, if the derived class is public, so the base class is at least as accessible as the derived class.
Try make the base class public. (And maybe the base-class IDXHook of the base also...)
Or use a different approach and make only the properties public that are needed to be public by adding an extra class...
A structure could look like:(you need to create a class thats public in your dll and expose a property, and set this property in the internal class...)
In the Accessing class (here Form1)
public partial class Form1 : Form
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
C c = new C();
MessageBox.Show(B.F.ToString());
and in the class Lib:
internal class A
public A()
B.F = DateTime.Now.Millisecond;
public class B
public static int F { get; set; }
public class C
public C()
A a = new A();
(add a referenc to the class lib from the accessing project)

Creating workers in library projects?

I'm trying to move a worker I created on Flash Builder 4.7 / AIR 3.4 from a stand-alone project to a library. I've tried using the new "ActionScript Library Project" wizard, which uses the correct AIR 3.4 SDK, but it does not inclue any of the facilities for creating and managing workers that exist in applications created with the "ActionScript Project" wizard.
When I attempt to create a worker in the ActionScript library, I get a pop-up that says "Selected Project is not Flex or ActionScript: You must create a Flex or ActionScript project to hold this file."
Is this something that's slated for support in a future release of the 4.7 beta, or is there some fundamental reason workers can't live in library projects?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

You are both partially right,
I fixed it by creating a new workspace (just deleted the
metadata folder) and re-importing my projects..
Then i removed the libraries and it worked, i started to add
the libraries one by one and the library that breaks it is
'FlexUnitOptional.swc'...
Thanks a lot..
I still have one problem open with the new flex builder, i
cannot debug in modules, i also posted it on the forum. Which is
over here:

Sharing code between Flex and AIR versions using library project

Hello everyone,
I'm developing an application that has both Flex and AIR versions. In order to share code between these apps, I created a library project and added all my code there. Now I've set the library project as a dependency for both Flex and AIR projects. Since there are some components that use the DataService object, I've added fds.swc and fds_rb.swc and fiber_rb.swc modules to the libs directory of the library project. No compile errors. Now, if I try to run my Flex application, I'm getting this error:
Variable mx.data::LocalStoreFactory is not defined.
I know that this error comes up when playerfds.swc is not present in the path. But that is not the case here. I have added playerfds.swc, fds.swc and related lib files to the build path.
If I go back and add the playerfds.swc file to the original library project, the error no longer appears. This is not a proper solution for me, since I need to share this project with AIR version also, and I cannot have both playerfds.swc and airfds.swc in the same project.. Has anyone faced an issue like this before?? What am I doing wrong??

SAP Conversion Agent: HL7 library project could not be executed

Hi experts
I'm using SAP Conversion Agent version 4.3.0 on a PI 7.0. I'm trying to use a HL7 library project. On the Conversion Agent Studio side everythings works fine: the library project is created and a test of the service with a local HL7 file was successful. After that I make the project on the Conversion Agent Studio available and copy the project from the local \SAP\ConversionAgent\ServiceDB directory to the PI Conversion Agent ServiceDB directory.
So far so good... but when I try to execute the CA project via File Sender Adapter the following error is thrown:
"Invalid service 'TEST'. Check service name and service database"

Include xml data file in Flex Library Project

Hi all,
i've got a Flex Library Project in which I include some
assets, as css files and some xml data files too. They are located
in my project root, under /assets/css and /assets/data. Once
compiled, if I use my library in other projects, the css styles
from the css under /assets/css apply, but the xml data files are
not found.Both are checked in the Flex Library Build Path window of
the project's properties.
There's any reason why the xml files are not included? Or
should I reference them in some other way... In my library project
I'm doing: ' theHTTPService.url = "assets/data/data_file.xml" '
thanks in advance,
Marc

Hi Greg, thanks for answering.
Yes, that's what I'd like to know also... I mark it to be
added to the library, but how can I be sure if it's in the final
.swc? Are they browseable somehow?
thanks,
Marc

Create library (swc) in Flash Builder 4 / Flex Project (not in a Library Project)

I want to create a swc file to use it in an other project. I can't use the Flash 4 Library Project to do this, because in a Library Project I
haven't the possibility to use data/services, which I need for my library. After click on "data / services" I get the message "This view is only for Flex-Projects available".
Has anyone a solution for my problem?
Thanks for your help.

Connect to PHP in FB4 is used when you have a PHP Class and you want to use that in FB, for example Employee.php and it has a Employee class and various methods in that like create, update, get, delete.
However, if you have exposed your functionality in PHP as a HTTP URL (i.e. it is not a class), then you should be using HTTPService from the data menu.
So if your file is login.php and is accessible as a URL, then using the HTTPService and enter the URL.
Does this help?

Status Update - don't know if this is a bug, design flaw, install problem or my misunderstanding.
I got it to work by first changing my Flex library to 4.5.0 - still didn't work with current
app and update mxml files using "2.6" for their namespace versions. But I did at least
get the popup error number 16815 - indicating an error in the update version namespace.
By leaving my application namespace version at "2.6" and changing the update version to "2.5" ... bingo!
I got my new update installed autiomatically.
Is this how it's supposed to work - or are my runtimes mixed up?
Will this work the same using the Flex 4.5.1 SDK? I'll find out shortly
Hope this helps others.

Library Projects compiled using Flash Builder and ANT have different outputs

Hi Guys.,
I am really having hard time to get something work right with RSL projects in Flex 3.2 SDK. Here is my weird problem.
I have a library projects which has the following settings in Flash Builder
Link Type : External
airglobal.swc
framework.swc
datavisualization.swc
rpc.swc
utilites.swc
applicationupdater.swc
applicationupdater_ui.swc
Link Type: Merged into code
airframework.swc
servicemonitor.swc
Compiler settings
-directory=true -output=../../lib/core -debug=true -optimize=false -define+=CONFIG::bindingdebug,false -define+=CONFIG::frameworkdebug,false -define+=CONFIG::flexspy,true -define+=CONFIG::debug,true -define+=CONFIG::release,false -define+=CONFIG::logtoconsole,false -allow-source-path-overlap=true -keep-as3-metadata+=Metadata,DefaultProperty,Required,Event,AssignableTo,Inject,InjectCon structor,Publish,Subscribe,PublishSubscribe,Factory,Init,Destroy,Observe,AsyncInit,Managed Events,MessageDispatcher,MessageHandler,MessageBinding,MessageInterceptor,MessageError,Com mand,CommandComplete,CommandResult,CommandError,CommandStatus,ResourceBinding,Selector,Tar get,Autoremove,Internal,ObjectDefinition,DynamicObject
When I compile my library projects I get a MyLibraryproject.swc. The SWC has the following files in it
mx/controls/HTML.png
mx/core/Windows.png
library.swf
Note: airframework.swc and servicemonitor.swc has a many png files and properties files in it. But these properties and png files are not included when compiled in Flash builder.
But when the same project is compiled using ANT compc task, i get all the png and properties files from airframework.swc and servicemonitor.swc files into my library project SWC file.
Here is the ANT version which is used to compile the library project
<compc output="${project.output.dir}/${project.name}.swc"

Any insights is greatly appreciated.!

#1, If it compiles then you have no issue. There's no reason at this point not to use 4.6. You should bundle a captive runtime to assure the users computer won't need to have AIR installed at all.
#2, Papervision is old. Use the Stage3D and/or a wrapper framework. As far as the generic "If I download lots of data will it take the user more time to load it", well, of course. Just don't make the loading experience painful. Entertain them while they way or find ways of displaying data sooner than later. If it's desirable on the web has more to do with the context of the app and the device displaying it. In other words, a phone user would find it easy but obviously not a desktop user.
#3, Definitely referring you to Google on that one.
#4, Size always matters, it's common sense. The more you process the harder it is. While I haven't done AR I've used the Microsoft Kinect SDK and ANE and tracking was extremely fast but limited. From what I've seen and your basic built in location and direction hardware on any mobile device you shouldn't have much trouble. Depends on what you're doing.
#5, This discussion would be way too large for a forum. You'd need to consult a firm experienced in AR development.
#6, "Applications using the commercial license do not have to provide source code, but must pay a licensing fee. Contact ARToolworks at [email protected] for more information." They will base your price on your product, there is no single price.
#7, The models could be huge and elaborate or tiny and simple which changes the answer. Consult the answer in #4. Ultimately most people are getting on fast networks with mobile and excessively fast on desktop/wifi. Size matters a lot less than 3 years ago.
#8, Depends on what you're doing. You have to explain it.

Cannot compile Library project in Flash builder 4: Unable to locate specified base class

I am migrating from Flex builder 3 to Flash builder 4, during that process I found that Flash builder could'nt compile Flex Library projects which contains components in the form of mxml files. Compiler throws "Unable to locate specified base class".
I have narrowed it down to by creating a flex library project named test library, below its screenshot with its package structure
ControlA is based on componentA
when i compile this project, mxml compiler throws this error
Unable to locate specified base class 'components.componentA' for component class 'ControlA'.
I cannot upload project code because file uploads are disabled on this forum so I am going to paste the code for both componentA and controlA
componentA
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:local="*" width="400" height="300">
</mx:Canvas>
ControlA
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<components:componentA xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:components="components.*" width="400" height="300">
</components:componentA>
To further test it, I have made another library project with same package structure using pure AS3, and it compiled without errors

It might be this happens and other errors if you forget to Run Flash Builder 4.5 Buritto and startup the other version FB4.
It uses the same project listings and that can be confusing since you're not expecting the old version to be aware of new Buritto (MobileApplications) projects you added (thinking) only to the BETA version installed elseware no doubt.
Well it might not be your problem but worthy of noting for other's I'm sure.
Otherwise you've double checked you're using SDK 4.5 Hero with it too! right?

Copy/paste clips from a library/project to another copying media on the new library

I want to copy/paste some clips from a project timeline to another but COPYING MEDIA also on the second library/project. How can I do?

I'm in the project "Anima mia" (which is together with an event in a library: all with the same name "Anima mia"). I want to pick up FROM THE TIMELINE some audio clips (which are the edited part of bigger clips placed in the browser) and some video clips (which are the edited part of bigger clips placed in the browser) and copy them on a new Project called "Riferimento" (which is with an event inside a library: all with the same name "Riferimento"), and I want to copy also the concerning original files to the new library. But I can't, infact if I copy/paste these clips in the new project/library I get this
I'd like to choose if leaving the original media in the source library or if phisical copying them to the new library. But it doesn't seems possible here....
Is it clear?
