Managing all the source and output files

We have built 100s of Captivate modules. Does anyone have a
recommendation on a good (reasonable $) digital asset management
system to manage all of this?

Hi again Scott
Ummm, okay. I'm still a bit at a loss as to what you are
looking for. I'm guessing you mean that you want some sort of a
system that would deal only with your source files. Only seen by
you or the development team?
On your initial post, I could see where you may have been
wanting something on either side. Either a way to manage many
different output files and present them as a cohesive whole to the
user. Or a way to manage the source content as you work with it.
So you aren't looking for source control per se, but
something more. Exactly what, we aren't sure. Perhaps try to
explain what you would like to see in such a system. Maybe if you
do that, someone here might see your list of desirable features and
recommend a system they have used before or are aware of that does
it.
Cheers... Rick

  • "The source and output audio channels are not compatible or a conversion does not exist" - ?

    I'm trying to export from Premiere Pro for a f4v file that matches all source settings except resizing the video. I've done this a million times but today, when I hit EXPORT, I'm getting an error message from Adobe Media Encoder that says "the source and output audio channels are not compatible or a conversion does not exist." I'm using wav, mov and mts files in my audio tracks and everything plays happily in the timeline. Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help!

    Sounds like you unsuccessfully trying to output a 5.1 Master to a stereo or mono file.  Or something along those lines.

  • Where are all the Photo and Music files hiding?

    When I "Get Info" for the Music folder in my Home directory it says that the folder contains 7,672 items taking up 34.87 GB of HD space. On the bottom of the iTunes window it says that iTunes includes 3,514 songs using 16.55 GB.
    Similarly, "Get Info" for the Pictures folder in my Home directory says that it includes 24,989 photo files using 28.22 GB of space. However, on the bottom of the iPhoto window it says that there are 5,574 photos in iPhoto.
    The question is, what are and where are all of these extra music files and photos?
    The numbers quoted in the applications themselves look right. I don't have 7,672 tunes and I definitely don't have 24,989 photos.
    I transfered the folders from my iMac to the Macbook Pro by connecting the iMac in Target Disk mode by Firewire. Is it possible that somehow I created many duplicate music and photo files? How do I eliminate the duplicates to free up HD space?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    What Mac do you have? MacBook?
    Version of iLIfe?
    iPhoto stores and uses a package now for the iPhoto LIbrary which if you do get info and show package contents has your files and library you imported.
    Might want to ask in iLife area too.

  • Does time capsule backup all the music and photo files?

    I do not have any files excluded for backup with my time capsule.  So, are all my music and photos stored on my MacBook Pro and iMac backed up each time? 
    Does it also back up the Photostream in iPhoto?
    I am a little confused about all this and do not want to lose any of these files if my MBP hard drive crashes. 

    Time Machine will back up the iTunes Media Folder, which stores all of your music and video.....and it will also back up the iPhoto Library used with iPhoto.
    Time Machine does not backup the entire libraries each time that it runs. Time Machine backs up the entire contents of your Mac on the first "master" backup. Once that is done, Time Machine only backs up the changes that have occurred on your Mac since the last backup.
    So, if you have made any changes to the iTunes Media Folder or iPhoto Library since the last backup, Time Machine will pick up the change and back that up on the next pass when Time Machine runs.
    Best to ask your question about Photostream in the iPhoto support area. My understanding is that images are normally stored in iCloud, but if you have downloaded images permanently to your Mac, they are stored in the iPhoto Library, which will be backed up.

  • How do you transfer all the music and vedio files from iPod touch to iTune?

    Hello, I am new here, and I have a very big problem.
    About a month ago, my stupid computer have died on me; so I have to take it to the Geek Square to let them look at my computer, it turned out, I have to replace a new hard drive. Now, my computer is back and I download the new iTune; however, I don't know how to transfer all the files on my iPod Touch to iTune, can someone help me?

    I do have some music back up, but I only have one video(because I couldn't get the others), and I also have some music that I bought directly from the ipod touch's iTune, not on the computer, so that is why I am asking the question.

  • APIs for accessing the ESS log and output files from UCM

    Hi,
    As I understand, the output and log files of an ESS job will be uploaded to UCM.
    We have a requirement where in we are building a simple error handling framework, which gets triggered after a series of ESS jobs are run. In the error handling framework based on some processing logic we need to e-mail the error or log files to the users. I am not able to find any information related to retrieving the log and output files for and ESS job from UCM. Any inputs on this will be appreciated.
    Thanks for your help,
    Thiru

    For accessing content in UCM you can use the RIDC APIs or UCM Web Services. Note that the UCM also provides features for workflow etc. that could potentially be used for notifications refer to the developer guide for details. For UCM related questions you may want to use this forum instead

  • 3.1 Input and Output File Repositories

    I am having an issue with setting the input and output file repositories in 3.1.
    When I go into the CMC under servers and select them I go to the bottom of the properties and change the File Store Directory location.
    Once I do that there is a second box that says Current: %DefaultInputFRSDir% and a note in Red that I must restart the server for settings to take effect.
    I have restarted all the BO services and restarted the physical server and yet the note remains and the setting doesn't appear to take effect.
    Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
    Also, our repositories are on a file server, and in XI R2 we changed the services in Windows to run as a user account that had access to them. How do you do that in this version?

    Got it.
    Changed the ID used to run the SIA and everything is working now.

  • Read lines from more than 1 file of different file extensions, extract the data and output to screen

    Hi,
    I am trying to read data from more than one file at once. The files are different types e.g. one is a text file one is an xml file like so, StudentInformation.txt, CollegeInformation.xml. The files are all stored in one place, in this case on the D drive of
    a local computer. I am trying to locate any files in the D drive with a file extension of .txt or of .xml (there may be more than two of these files in the future, so I'm trying to allow for that). Then I want to open all of these files, extract the information
    and output all the information in one display window. I want all the information from these two or more files to be displayed together in the display window.
    Here is the code so far. It is throwing up errors.
            //Load from txt or xml files
            private void btnLoad_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
                    IEnumerable<string> fileContents = Directory.EnumerateFiles("D:\\", "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
                    .Select(x => new FileInfo(x))
                    .Where(x => x.Extension == ".xml" || x.Extension == ".txt")
                    .Select(file => ParseFile(file));}
                    private string ParseFile(FileInfo file)
                        try
                            using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(file.FullName))
                                string line;
                                while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
                                    //Logic here to determine if this is the correct file and append accordingly
                                    lbDisplay.Items.Add(line);
                                return line;
                        catch (Exception ex)
                            // Let the user know what went wrong
                            MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
                            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    The error it throws up is:
    Error 1
    'BookList.MainWindow.ParseFile(System.IO.FileInfo)': not all code paths return a value

    This is the Small Basic programming language so moving to a C# forum.
    But you need all paths to return a value, including if an exception is called and it jumps to the catch, perhaps just:
    // Let the user know what went wrong
    MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    return "";

    Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
    RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as  it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
    Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
    Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
    What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
    If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

    Need help. I am running a 27 in imac with 16 gigs of ram. Photoshop runs really fast, except when opening files. It takes 5-10 minutes to open even a small file of 1 meg. I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

  • I've moved an internal hard drive with all my music and library files to a new computer --- how can I get itunes to import the whole library while keeping my metadata?

    I've always kept all my music on its own dedicated internal hard drive.  Now I've got a new PC, finally made the switch to Windows 7 from XP, and I've moved my internal hard drive over to the new machine.
    I installed iTunes, but I'm having a heck of a time getting it to import the music and library files, keeping all my playlists and metadata.  Why is this so hard?

    If your New to You Used Mac is froom mid 2012 and originally came with Lion installed on it you will need to Reinstall that version using the Online Internet Recovery system and then at first boot of the new install use the Setup Assistant system to copy over all the data from your wifes old hard drive.
    To access the Online system at startup hold down the Command + Option/alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. From the resulting screen that cames up, Mac OS X Utilities, select Disk Utility and then the top most entry for the hard drive, left hand panel, drive model number and size, and then the Partition tab. Repartition the drive as One Partition, You Must do that to get ride of the Mavericks Recovery HD partition which is hidden. Name the partition Macintosh HD with a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Once that is done exit disk utility and select Reinstall Mac OS X.

  • Formatted HD, but have backup of all the folders and files of Firefox. How can I restore everything, including plugins, bookmarks and saved settings?

    I have formatted my computer's HD because of a problem with Windows 7, the thing is that Windows 7 didn't start, so I couldn't backup my Firefox settings, bookmarks, plugins, themes, personas and etc. the right way.
    I also don't have a Firefox Sync account.
    What I do have are all the folders and files of Firefox, because I just created a new partition and installed Windows 7 again, what I'm having trouble is finding a way (if there's any) to restore everything from my previous installation to the new one.
    I have searched for days on both Google and on te Firefox forum with no success, the only questions I found are about restoring a profile, but what I'm trying to do is the same thing that the Firefox add-on " FEBE " does, which is restoring everything to the previous configuration.
    Here's alink to the add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/febe/
    I have tried copying, pasting and overwritting from the " .default " folder to my new installation of Firefox (yes, Firefox was closed), but when I opened it again, nothing was restored.
    I every single folder and file Firefox ever created on my computer, this includes the installation folder (at Program Files), the profile (.default at AppData) folder, the Mozilla folder (ProgramData) and the Mozilla Firefox folder (also at AppData).
    I also had the FEBE add-on installed, but like stated before, unfortunately I couldn't start Windows 7, forcing me to create a new partition to install a new copy of the OS.
    Thanks in advance.
    PS. Sorry if I made the text too long and/or if I mentioned the same things twice, just trying to be thorough.

    Hi Sdarts,
    I apologize for the delay in replying to your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are having issues restoring your Firefox user data.
    Please see the following article, which explains how to restore your Firefox user data using a previously backed up Profiles folder, which seems to apply to your situation:

  • I have an iPod Classic 5th Gen.  After 1 month I've lost all my music and playlist files.  The only files left are music I have purchased from iTunes.  How do I restore my music library to my iPod?

    I have an iPod Classic 5th Generation.  I have not used it for about one month.  When I turned it on, I had lost all my music and playlist files.  The only thing left on the iPod was the music and audio books I have purchased from iTunes store.  I tried to delete everything on the ipod by sliding the hold button and then pressing the center button and the menu and I saw the apple logo on the screen but the iPod wouldn't reboot.  Any suggestions as to how I can delete everything on the iPod and then plug it into my computer to restore my music library?  I am using a Windows 7 operating system.

    Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
    if it  does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
    Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
    Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
    Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
    After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
    Connect back to the Mac
    When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
    Sync your library.
    Good Luck!

    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting the pho tosfrom your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
