LV 8 project organization

This is a somewhat philosophical question about organizing a project in LV8. I understand pretty well how to organize the project for my main VI. What I'm wondering about are some VIs that will process the data produced by the main VI. Both the main VI and the data processing VIs will be turned into Windows executable files. Does it make sense to include the processing VIs in the same project as the main VI or are they better off in their own project? Are there any issues with maintaining the build specifications for the different files in the same project?
George

George,
Project organization is strictly up to you. As long as you have the VIs that you are going to be using for executables in the project, what you have included in them is just for organizational purposes. That being said I would include everything that deals with that function. As long as the build specifications have good names, having the data processing VIs in the project should make everything easier to read. I might suggest having the data production VIs under one folder and the data processing VIs under another folder. For me I would like to see how the data is being produced and analyzed. Feel free to report with any thoughts.

Project Organization Hierarchy

Hi,
Please some one explain the Business purpose of defining Project Organization Hierarchy. Why we need to define Project & expenditure Organization Hierarchy
As per the user guide "An organization hierarchy illustrates the relationships between your organizations.When you define a hierarchy, you tell Oracle Projects which organizations are subordinate to which other organizations"
What is use of informing "Oracle Projects which organizations are subordinate to which other organizations".
If it is for reporting how it is help in the reporting? is the report rollup information in the top organizaiton?
Thanks
Govind

Hi
The organizations hierarchy is used in two places.
A) When defining burden schedule for costing or billing, you can enter burden rate (multiplier) on any level of parent organization in the hierarchy. Then run Compile. The system allocates the multiplier value to all organizations which are subordinates of the organization which hold the multiplier.
B) You can select any parent organization in the hierarchy and add to it the classification - Projects Invoice Collection Organization. The run the process to create Transaction Types in AR for that parent org. When generating invoices for a project and transferring them to AR, the system go up the hierarchy from the project owning organization till the first parent with that classification. The associate the appropriate transaction type to the invoice when imported to AR. This functionality depend on implementation options - non centralized invoicing.
I think that standard Reporting within Oracle Projects does not roll up along the organization hierarchy. However, it may be rolling up in Projects Inteligence or OBIA.

Project organization help needed

I work for a rather large health care company and we are just beginning our move from eGate to JCAPS. We have approximately 100 separate interfaces, each with an average of five eWays.
Our initial idea was to organize our JCAPS projects as follows:
Outer Project (equivalent to eGate schema)
Inner Project (equivalent to eGate eWay)
- collaboration
- connectivity map
- deployment profile
- any external files, schedulers, etc needed by the collaboration
Inner Project for OTD's
Inner Project for Queues and Topics
Inner Project for shared collaborations that are used by multiple projects (such as resending, journalling, etc)
My concern is if we make a change to a single project, when we go to export that project to our production system, we may be forced to export a lot more than we need.
I would like to know how others have organized their systems interfaces, and any issues they may have come up with.
Thank You
Steve

I would be wary of creating projects within projects.
The concept of project in JCAPS is nebulous.
Even though JCAPS allows you to nest projects within projects the nested projects are treated more like folders.
Like most other IDEs, projects are the ones created at root level.
Unlike most other IDEs JCAPS does not have the concept of project view and file view.
If you create an "Outer Project" and then inside it a bunch of "inner project" , JCAPS would treat the "Outer Project" as a project and all the inner projects as artifacts of this "Outer Project".
If any other project were to refer to any one of these "inner projects", then JCAPS will assume that this other project is dependent on the "outer project".
If you try to export this other project, it will export the whole "outer project" as a dependent project.
So, if possible, I would try to create all projects at root level especially if they are going to be referenced by other projects.
Use a flat structure rather than a hierarchical one. Use naming conventions to segregate and organize.
Instead of
ProjectA
ProjectA1
ProjectA2create
ProjectA_ProjectA1
ProjectA_ProjectA2
If this looks too cluttered you might want to consider branching to separate major projects
Also I would be careful of creating dependencies between projects.
Lets say you have a JCD which refers to an OTD in another shared project.
If somebody updates the OTD and creates a new version of the OTD, your JCD would automatically start referring to the new version.
Without your knowing a build will pick up the new OTD.
Of course if you know that a new version was created ,you can specify an older version of the OTD during a build.
Not so if you are editing the JCD. Here you will be stuck with the latest version.
This may or may not be what you want.
A better alternative would be to copy over the OTD to your project and use the local version.
Hope this helps.

Setting up a new Free Software Project, organizational help needed.

Hi
I need some help with a project I am working on.
I have been working on this project for some time now. I have written a program using JDK 6 and Eclipse.
The actual software is not the problem here. The actual problem, as I am starting to find out, is how to distribute this program.
I think I have organized the actual files incorrectly. Since I have been working on this program for some time now, its gotten a lot bigger then
I originally thought it would be. Also I have been using SVN and sourceforge, so I have been reluctent to make drastic changes to the layout of the
source code.
But I am starting to see that I need to adapt the source code to some standard if I am to either get other to help me or to release the program.
And here is where your help comes in.
I need to know how to organize my files.
I have organized the *.java files in a somewhat orderly fashion, but from what I understand most source code is organized into "src", "lib", ect folders.
This is what I need the help with.
My program uses some external jar files that contain some methods, functions and class I use.
I also have some images and icons used in the program.
There are also files that are created, written to and read from the program, which I need to keep.
What is the best way to organize these files and is there some sort of "standard of free software" out there?
I would appreciate any help on the matter.

Just a shot in the dark here...
Are you JARring your project when you make it into a binary? You can JAR it the same way with your source, as well. As for the folders that you are talking about, I'm not an Eclipse user, but doesn't the IDE organize your files into packages and such while you are working on a project?
My perspective comes from NetBeans. When I create a project, the IDE automatically creates an Ant file and also organizes the project into packages. For example, if I start a project called StripNewLines, my Main class will be located in a package called stripnewlines, which I can refactor later to something like net.mycompany.stripnewlines, for example. Then, when I need to include resources such as files or icons, I go into my file manager and simply create new folders under my project's source tree. For example, my project file tree may look something like:
+ StripNewLines/
+ dist/
+ lib/
+ StripNewLines.jar
+ README.TXT
+ src/
+net/
+ mycompany/
+ stripnewlines
+ Main.java
Once I get done adding my files and icons, it might look like this:
+ StripNewLines/
+ dist/
+ lib/
+ StripNewLines.jar
+ README.TXT
+ src/
+net/
+ mycompany/
+ stripnewlines/
+ Main.java
+ files/
+ LICENSE
+ README
+ art/
+ file-open.png
+ exit.png
+ new.png
Once I've added those files and icons to my file heirarchy in my file manager, NetBeans will automatically update the project and add the packages net.mycompany.files and net.mycompany.art. Then I just have to access them by their paths to use them in my application.
Once you've gotten your application completed and compile it to a jar file, you can drop to a shell and use the `jar` command to "pack up" your source tree. By doing it this way, you have a single file for download as a binary and another single file for download as a source archive. Obviously, if you are using libraries, you will need to zip up or tarchive your lib/ folder and JAR file for the distributions, so that your external libraries will also be available to your application on another machine.
Anyhow, just some thoughts. I do hope this helps you a little and doesn't confuse you more.

Biztalk Project Organization - Recommeded Practice

Hello:
We are planning to leverage BizTalk pub/sub infrastructure to send (publish) and subscribe (send) messages. We have number of web services independently deployed
and maintained. The service projects are organized in TFS under Main > Source. The Source folder contains the sub folders for each and every service. The existing structure looks like this
Root
Main
Source
Service A
Service B
Service B
Now that we will be using BizTalk as pub/sub infrastructure, we will have to create several BizTalk projects for the schemas, subscribers, maps, etc. The question
what’s the recommended practice to organize the BizTalk projects for the above Scenario? Does it make sense to create another folder under main for BizTalk and organize all BizTalk projects under it? Something like this:
Root
Main
Source
BizTalk
Subscriber 1 // BizTalk subscriber project 1
Subscriber 2 // BizTalk subscriber project 2
Schemas // Holds all canonical schemas
Service A
Service B
Service B
Please advise the recommended practice

IMHO, BizTalk projects also follow same semantics as other project types regarding TFS project structure. You might want to decide this based on how your teams are organized and manage work items etc. If you are using BizTalk 2009 or later, TFS Build
integration is available.

Project organization suggestions needed.

Plan is to make a 45 minute highlight video for highschool lacrosse team. Used iMovie last year but looking to get better final quality. Here is how we have done it in the past with iMovie. (and Pinnacle before that) I shoot and cut most of the game footage. Usually 2 cameras at each game. I take roughly 2 hours of footage and try and cut it to 4-8 minutes for each game. After 5-6 games I share a "Highlights 1". End of season I have 3 or 4 "Highlights" files that I transfer to a buddy who makes 3 or 4 projects that are 3-4 minutes long laid down to music. He also adds in footage from games that he filmed and cut himself. I make a couple of fun, off field sections and a tribute to seniors. We then lay all 7-8 projects together and make our movie. Biggest issue we had with iMovie was the lose of quality each time we cut and then shared the footage. Examples of what we have done in the past are posted on youtube under CanandaiguaAcadLax We did not do any of the Season in the Balance segments. Those guys were pros!! A good example is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90FU2rHnPr0
Any project management help would be greatly appreciated. How do we best organize? Settings for sharing etc. We are not video/computer guys We do this because our kids play and it makes a great life time memory for the boys.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Mark

To begin, if you use Pro Res as your export codec, you and he can swap and edit clips several times without discernable loss of quality. You can export your highlight films. He can import them and edit them and export versions that both of you can collaborate on.
As to your organization question, there is no perfect answer. I guess I would create a single library to hold all your work. I would a make single highlight event for all the games that will go into a multicam video. So if you had 5 highlight videos, you would have 5 events – each referencing the media from several games. Each would have a single multicam project.
Wether you bring copies of the media into your events is a judgement call – depending, for example, on how much space you have on your media drives.
Good luck. Hope that gives you some ideas.

Labview project organization and management

I am looking for advice/resources for organizing and managing moderate to large applications in labview. I have created an application with over 100 vi's and want to ensure the easiest management and maintenance of the code for the future. Does anyone have opinions on vi libraries, folder use or other methods for keeping projects manageable as the size grows. Most of my past applications were less than half of this size so code control was easy and I could be more sloppy. I have kept good practice in regards to coding and reuse in labview but have not found many articles or software management for labview. I am looking to make the transition from the lab to more commercial products. I have 8 years of extensive self-taught labview experience (10+ years or general programming c/c++ ...) so I am familiar with coding techniques but have not seen too many software engineering and architecture techniques applied to thsi language. Any resources would be greatly appreciated.

We are the ones representing the "one with experience" for most of the new developers. As to organizing/structuring a project, I usually have created a directory for each of my projects, with sub-dirs based on major program functional blocks (i.e. User Interface, Initialization, Instruments, DAQ, etc.) containing the code specific to those functional blocks, usually with a sub-dir containing the type def'd controls for that function. Once I've passed a certain arbitray chosen point in the development process, which usually is determined by the complexity of the code to that point, I start making a copy of the master directory every morning, renaming it with a date code or to a newer version ltr/number than the previous day's and do my work in that, giving me a "revert" path. On some projects, at some customers, I have used SourceSafe, or other configuration management programs, but much of the time I am the only developer, so it isn't _as_ necessary. I have had mixed results with the various CM programs, they weren't developed to work with a graphical language like LabVIEW, so a lot of the tools won't work. There have been a few threads devoted to the problems and solutions that others have implemented in multideveloper environments, so a search should turn up some info. The biggest CM issue that I have been running into is the addition of "stuff" (utilities, new instruments, etc.) to the developers local LabVIEW palettes. It is one thing to be "checking out" pieces of the project's code, but it becomes problematic if there are things unique to the developers individual environment vs. things that are in the project's folder. You go to load some code and it can't find the version of the HP666A that "Bob" has in his instrument palette.
Good luck,

Project organization JSF 1.2 / EJB3 with Maven2 - How?

I already did some EJB3/JSF projects and know how to deploy them as EAR on JBoss. To do this i used 3 projects in Eclipse (EAR project, JSF project and EJB3 project). Now i would like to start with maven. I am very new to this and wonder if its possible with maven to deploy ONLY the JSF or the EJB part without having to deploy the whole EAR file. Reason is that it could be that only web changes took effect, but the EJB is already finished. In my concrete case I am planning to get some web developer and I only want him to be allowed to checkout the JSF project and deploy that part into the JBOSS without having to deploy EJB and without having access to that EJB project source code. I guess a JAR of the EJB project should be enough for the JSF module / this web developer. But how is this setup in Eclipse / Maven2 using standard Spring 3?

well then forget about maven also because you don't use that for deployment. Apparently you want to setup Eclipse in such a way that you can flexibly deploy what you want.
The way I do that is to make use of two things:
PART 1:
JBoss' ability to handle 'exploded' deployments - this basically means you don't create a ear/war/ejb file, but you create a directory with the same name as the file. JBoss will treat this directory as if it is the real thing.
The good thing about JBoss is that you can flexibly deploy something exploded, but you can put parts as a regular file. So you have the ability to deploy an exploded ear directory and an exploded war directory inside it, but put an actual ejb jar file. Example:
deploy\myapp.ear\ejb.jar
deploy\myapp.ear\web.war\WEB-INF\faces-config.xml
etc.
Do you get that?
PART 2:
I use an Eclipse plugin called 'filesync' to get 100% control over which parts of my eclipse project are deployed and where the files will end up. This allows me to create the exploded deployment format in my local JBoss host.
[http://andrei.gmxhome.de/filesync/index.html|http://andrei.gmxhome.de/filesync/index.html]
This plugin is particularly useful for web developers, because when changes are made to web resources from Eclipse they are instantly deployed to the server without having to even press a button. The only thing you need to facilitate yourself this way is the application.xml file and all the libraries that go into the ear and/or the war. I tend to create a folder 'hot-deploy' in my eclipse project where I put all the additional files I want to sync to the server.
I know that the JSF/web plugins of JBoss Tools also have hot deployment options, so that might be another thing to explore for you. I've never used that part of JBoss Tools myself.

Project Management Wishlist (hoping for software or online solutions)

hi all.
i've converted the office to mac over the last two plus years and need to put a second level of organization to bed.
would anyone mind helping me find other websites and/or suggestions on how to get this finalized? apologies for the length and intricacy of the post but THANKS for any help on this! even just one good lead or recommendation (say for FileMaker or one of the Devon tools could help me get moving forward with it and not have to backtrack).
i work on PROJECTS that seem to need various kinds of data. some notetaking, imagery, url's. pages documents, pages documents printed to pdf, some pdfs that others created, spreadsheets, various creative files such as CAD, photoshop, indesign etecetera - and of course email and text and phone conversations. i would really ideally love to pull all this together but of course i know this is not realistic.
i also really need to communicate some of this information with clients and have them communicate back to me, right now this is a terrible mess and extremely unproductive with widely dispersed and duplicated information (at a bare minimum).
i have finally customized my images in Aperture but still need to organize my pdf's and my videos. i also find Spotlight to be rather unhelpful for some items and in reading up on Devon, one of their tools has a /graphic/ search display that somehow shows linked items and whether they have been "read" or not. this kind of VISUAL ORGANIZATION would be absolutely fantastic [http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/devonagent/overview.html]. i should also add that what i /don't/ want to do is to have to catalog my project file by file and simply DRAGGING and DROPPING files to create a link if my ideal organizational method. tagging items with the GTD tools that i have tested is a non-starter for me and i actually don't even use tags in my Aperture database. i just drag and drop them to an appropriate Project.
currently an example workflow for my Aperture database is that i POST these images to flickr to let a client see what kind of imagery i am using in their project (but they cannot upload /their/ imagery). nevertheless, this is very convenient because i can simply create an ALBUM in Aperture and drop the (pre-organized) imagery in there and post it to flickr from within the Aperture UI. this is really great but getting this link to a client is a bit of a pain because even flickr Pro uses some silly thing where you have to decide whether the recipient is a "friend" or "family" and ostensibly anyone that gets determined as one or the other can see all the other images in this category. it would be a whole lot better if i could just create an Album for a particular client. of course it would be great to
in any event -
in an ideal world (off the top of my head i would like) the ability to create a "Project" in my computer which organizes the following and /also/ allows me to post this to a place where Clients can have a LOGIN and PASSWORD that allows them to both view and UPLOAD information.
1. bookmarks
2. pdfs
3. spreadsheets
4. contact list
5. images
6. other files
7. a lot that i am forgetting to include here.
it would also be great to be able to organize PHONE CALLS and TEXTS and EMAILS on my computer so that i can have a record of communication with and FOR this client.
i would also like to get most or much of this to my iPhone if at all possible!

Ipolucci,
I am a teacher and so I do not have your needs to really understand your requests.
That said, I would reccomend you FileMaker Pro and Journler ( currently at version 1.1.62, running by Mac OS X 10.3.9 , the version I have and already in versio 2.0.1 for those who have 10.4).
The first one is a relational commercial DB of an Apple subsidiary, with several template solutions ( probably one will fill your needs ) and the second one is a freeware, that has integration with Mail, Adress Book, Blogs, Photos, Audio recordings, iTunes and more.
Just in case does not come anyone else with the complete solution, you should consider a free trial of FileMaker Pro (just released the version 8.5) and take a look at Journler.
Both at <http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/>

NO images in Project that just had images in it

i am organizing my folder-project organization in aperture and i am simply moving PROJECTS from the parent level into a FOLDER. if i look at the PROJECT initially i am seeing images in this project (it is how i know where i want to put the Project organizationally in terms of putting it in one or another folder) BUT when i put it in a Folder i don't see any images when i click on this.
i had been thinking this was sort of a temporary glitch or something to do with RAM being used by another program but now i am getting a bit worried about this.
about two weeks ago i was seeing the wrong thumbnail image on an image (maybe the image was in a Project that was a shoot of dogs and one or two or five of the images would show cars on the thumbnail) even though when i clicked on the image it came up large size with the correct image.
anyway, i thought i rebuilt the library per instructions on this from kirby.
do i need to do this again? close aperture and re-open?
start looking behind my monitor or under my desk.......

hi leonie.
i am back working today and i am still seeing this behaviour. if i drag an album from a folder and put it into another folder i no longer see images/thumbnails whereas i did see them before.
i have looked just now in the filter entry area (thanks for the screenshot...) and i am not seeing anything listed in here. One says "All Items" and the other says "Unrated or Better".
i just moved another Album to an existing folder, lost all thumbnail images (nothing shown in list view either) and - then to test i dragged it back to the original folder.
hmmm.
now i am noticing that there is a cycling symbol at the bottom of the Aperture window....
is it possible that there is something going on here (too many images in the album) or some kind of CPU logjam that is causing me not to see images as described? it is seems like something i need to figure out and is sort of disconcerting at the moment.
maybe i the best way to test this by waiting for the cycling to stop i suppose - now that i have noticed this...

Can I have two Aperture projects with same name?

Hi. I'm new to Aperture and an advanced iPhoto user. I started using Aperture sharing the same library with iPhoto (that new functionallity).
I've read lots of manuals and tutorials (Apple's and others) as well as this support topics. I understand iPhoto Events are now Aperture Projects and I've read a lot about how should it be organized and so on.
My problem is: I got, for example, 4 iPhoto Events with the name "Friends". The appear in Apperture as 4 Projects named "Friends". I decided to rename one of them and the I came back to "Friends" name. Aperture won't let me: it appends "(1)". It seems I cannot name to Projects the same way, although I have that.
Before: Friends, Friends, Friends, Friends
After renaming one of them and trying to get back to original name: Friends, Friends, Friends, Friends (1)
I have that duplicated name because it is like a title, photos of my friends in different time (one Friends is from 2005, other from 2010, and so on, for example).
It seems pretty bad I have to come up with a new name for each new Project, considering I have hundreds of them today. Any tips? Thanks.

If there is nothing separating the images then put them all in the same project. If you have a project Friends you know all your friends images are in there and you can find the ones you want by date or keyword or even Face.
There is no requirement to have the images from different times at the bar to be in different projects. I personally wouldn't work that way but if having a project called Friends at Bar works for you then place all the images of your friends at the bar in that project.
Of course another way to look at this is to use albums to pull all the images of your Friends at Bars together. Don't have the name of the project organize your library, create albums and/or smart albums to collect the images into meaningful groupings.

Costing for Miscellaneous issue transaction for project

We have a different requirement from the business
ours is R&D and we are using Oracle projects to track our projects costing and billing
we procure some material from outside supplier and it will get costed to the project but when any engineer want to use the material they want to reduce the material from the inventory by they dont want the cost to get reduced from the project
usually engineers take the material by doing miscellaneous issue for some testing and they never get in to the project again it will be treated as samples
currently when i do the miscellaneous issue it reduces the inventory from project and also the cost will get reduced.
Can someone help me out since it is very critical for us to acheive this,
Regards
Lavanya

D
Dear Lavanya,
The material should be first reeived to Inventort then transferred to projects
Ex 100 Quantity is Received @ 10 Each - Inventory Material value will be 1000 Unit Price 10
Now 10 Quantity is Issued(Samples) @ 0 each - Inventory material Value will be 1000 Unit Price 11.11
Now Transfer the remaining quantity to Projects i,e 90 quantity, & inventory material value will be 1000, unit price will be 11.11 (Use Project related Misc Transaction for Project Issues)
Even though material is issued with 0 unit price A/c entries will be generated
Dr. Given A/c
Cr. Inventory material value A/c
Here first the material is directly received into Inventory (Not related to projects organization) Miscellaneous Issue (For samples) is done with 0 unit cost after that The material is transferred to projects (Project Issues)
For Miscellaneous Issue (Samples Issue) a Personalization is need to done such that the Unit price will be freeze to 0.

How to derive/generate Revenue only wth Project costing?Burdening possible?

Hello Experts / Dina,
I am doing a implementation to customer where only Project costing is in scope and customer wanted to derive / generate revenue for few of the revenue generated project using oracle project costing. Currently this customer is using legacy external application to enter manual journal for revenue.
So can you please provide me workaround to achieve only revenue generation using oracle project costing?
I have one workaround but wanted to validate from you all experts. Plz help me...
1. Enabling budening on same expenditure item I can generate revenue using burden schedule and setup total burden cost db and cost cr account in auto accounting so that burdent Cost Crd account will be a reveue account and burden Cost dbt account will be UBR a/c. and then transfer the burden cost to GL as revenue vs UBR.
This work around is thorotical and dont know what is implication of burden mulitpliers. If I used this workaorund then revenue (burden cost) amount is depend upon the expenditure orgnization multiplier and not on job based or employee based. How to solve this problem?
I think there is possibility to drive the burden multiplier based on expenditure types..if taken that approch then end up in creating lot of expenditure type for each multiplier.
So please help with workaround or someother method.
Thanks

Hi Dina,
First of all many many thanks for posting your answer on this question.
1. > I tried using total burden schedule approch to generate revenue but I think there is problem to restrict the accounting for the expenditur items which should not be burden ( need not to be generate revenue). As Total burdening approch creates burden accounting as raw cost though burden mulitplier is not specified ( system takes as value 0) :(
2.> Then I tried a approch of using create & distribute burdening method ( burdening on separate expenditure item) - This works fine and generate burden accounting ( revenue a/c -& UBR). And provides a restriction of generating revenue on selected expenditure items based on burden schedule schedule (multiplier as 0 not specified). On Expenditre Inquiry also can reports a revenue after querying on Expenditure Type Class as "Burden Transactions". You can also reverse items and reverse costing / burdening ( reveneu ) with normal standard process.
3.> If I wanted to use borrowed and Lent processing then I guess it will be easy. But only problem is I can't keep Project Org as Resource Org. Then there is pain in defining lot of resource organization and project organization ( I m not sure customer will agree :() . Also after referring the Project API guide I am still confuse about 2 diff extention doing same thing.
a.> Transfer Price Determination Extension b.> Transfer Price Override Extension . Can you please explain what is difference between both of them and wat is purpose for both of them?
Also In case i don't used the extension then I will be left only using Transfer price % ( 100% + ) to derive my revenue price? rght? Also I am not sure how can customer will have restrictions on the expenditure items which should not generate revenue? ( By defining another transfer price schedule on the selected TASKS with rule as transfer price % 0? )
and I hope by using borrowed and lent processing I can do adjustments ( like reversing of revenue ) as standard way?
Please guide.
Thanks a ton !!!
Cheers,
:-)

Is it possible to automatically create new folder for each project?

Hi! Here´s another (maybe stupid) question:
I wonder if it's possible for Premiere to also automatically create a new folder on the harddrive when a new project is created. This to get all material, preview files etc for each project in a separate folder.
It´s easy to forget to manually do this and I tend to end up with many projects and files in the same folder. Makes it hard when I want to "clean house" and delete some stuff and backup other.
Thank's for any help with this!

Everyone develops their own method of project organization,
but this has worked for me through several versions of Premiere.
I keep a 'Project Template' folder that contains all of the sub-directories
that I will normally need for each job... Media, Approvals, Documents, Audio,
Rendered Image Sequences, Still Images, Finals etc.
This 'Project Template' folder also contains a template Premiere project that is
pre-set with the interface settings, column layout and project folders I will always use...
Audio (vo, music, sfx), Graphics (sequences, stills, titles, slates),
Cuts (approval versions, finals, and broadcast distribution finals).
When I start a new project I simply duplicate the entire 'Project Template' folder along
with all of its contents, then rename the folder and Premiere project to suit the current job.
