Merging Projects, how?

Let's just say that I can forsee a time when the project list will be quite long. Is there a way to reorganize Aperture's projects? Specifically, can I merge two projects together?, into a third new project?
Just for the record, I do not consider exporting and reimporting to be an acceptable answer.
Thanks.

I have not tried this yet, but honestly I think you could simply copy all the files you like from one project into another, restart Aperture, and it would realize what had happened.
Within Aperture of course you could simply create a new project and drag all items from two (or more) other projects into the new project, and all the files would be moves in a very similar manner (it moves versions along with masters). Or of course just move everything from one project into another.
What I do know you can do is take a project out of an Aperture library, and put it elsewhere - so you could create an Archival library to start things you no longer needed immediate access to, and if you wanted them in your working library just copy them back in. That's how I plan to keep the list of projects in Aperture at a manageable level.

How can I include merged projects in the printed documentation?

I have a master project with several merged projects. This works splendid with online documentation, but when I am asked to provide a printed version, it seems I have to create separate documents for each merged project.
Is there any setting or fix that enables print also of merged projects and topics when I create printed documentation?
Pretty please with sugar on top :-)

Hm - there is a contract with the customer, saying that he wants documentation both as word and pdf, and as we now aim at only writing online documentation, these tasks create extra work, as we are delivering updates each month
But yes - two beasts, where only chm is actually needed we think.

Subject: How can I include merged projects in the printed documentation?
Hi there
I'm a bit curious as to the reasoning behind your "persuation process for using chm-files only".
CHM files and printed documentation are two entirely different beasts.

How can I make a photo from two merged projects available for a book that I started using one project ? They merge but the book only allows me to access the original project photos even though the merged photos can be seen in the project ?

I have successfully merged two projects in order to add new photos for my book. The library available to the book which has 26 completed pages accesses only the original project library. Has anyone else had this problem ? It is frustrating to see the photos I want in the merged project file, but to have only the original photos when I started the book available in the book library.

That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums. Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image. You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example). You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
The easy way 'round:
- Make a new Book Album
- Select Images you may want to put in your Book. Flag them.
- Select some more. Flag them.
- Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
- Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key. This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication. The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself. The Book Album also holds the Book.
A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
The User Manual is helpful. Here is
the chapter on making Books.
From that chapter, here is
the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

How to merge projects together in iMovie08

Hello. I want to know how I can merge my completed projects together to create one movie in iMovie08.
I tried creating a new project and then copying and pasting the different projects into that one, but it didn't work. I'm not sure what to do.
I'm trying to make a birthday gift for a very good friend, so if anyone knows how to help, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm pretty new to mac, so please try to explain in lammens terms

welcome ktp2040 to the  iMovie boards..
'merging projects' is beyond concept of iM08 ..
your options are..
1) why not keeping the projects separate? an iDVD created videoDVD can contain up to 120min of video.. so, each project is a selectable 'item' in the DVDs menu.. I like that better than 'Ben Hur II' ..
2) re-edit a master piece.. your clips and Events are still intact.. try to remember your projects as 'blueprint' and now use ALL material in ONE project.. (re-edit is never fun.. I know)
2) 'Export with Quicktime...' each project and choose 'dv-stream' or, if harddrive is big enough, 'Apple Intermediate Codec' as Quicktime export option.. re-import the files (1 project = 1 file) and stick these few 'clips' together into one new 'director's cut' ...
you'll probably notice a slight degradation of pic quality ..

How does a .ALI file have to look like in a merged project (RH9)

In RH5 (X5) the central .ali file of a merged project contained the enumeration of the #included .ali files of the sub-projects.
Now how does this file have to look like in a merged RH9 project? Given that all files (or most) are XML-files now it seems that the simple enumeration by #include doesn't work any longer.
Christoph

The PDF file itself.
For example, we sell eDocuments in PDF format, we have Acrobat Pro, I make a revision and that revision on my server can push a notification next time they open the eDocument that there's a update available. Much like many software programs can do, except this is a distributed PDF document that can look for updates inside Acrobat Reader for the end user.
Essentially we're trying to find a better way for people to get revisions of purchased PDF files as they become available.
Thanks for your time.

I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts. After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were. Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts. After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were. Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

I tried the first aid tasks but the issue is still there. I have more info now though. It's not a problem with merging.
The problem is that new projects are being generated everytime aperture starts (with the same name, ie 01, 02.... and 01 (1), 02 (1) .....)
When aperture start, it shows "importing". When I click on importing, it goes into the activity box. In the activity box, has many lines as below. The added projcts are all empty. It's annoying because i have many useless projects being generated.

Urgent - HTML help merged projects - displaying in the same window

Hi All,
Following some recent windows updates I'm experiencing all sorts of problems. My most urgent problems is as follows:
First off this is all in RH8 and yes I have upgraded to 8.0.2 and project is set to re-build cpd each time.
So I have a merges project as follows:
Parent project
child project 1
chils project 2 etc
when I compile an html help project with TOC, and single source window settings on default if I click on a child project it is diaplyued in a separate window. If I then select a different project in the parent project TOC this is also displayed in a different window but the window still has the caption of the previously opened file.
What I need as the end result is for my HTML help project output to al display in the same window whether I click on a parent project item, or a child project item.
Please can somebody advise mne how to do this as I am VERY close to a deadline and as usual it seems RH8 has let me down again.....
Thanks
Author Care

Hi there
Methinks Colum needs more coffee, because the options he cited have nothing to do with other windows. They have to do with whether the displayed topic synchronizes with the TOC and whether the TOC entry is highlighted.
I'm thinking it has to do with creating a "Global" window. You change the names of the windows so they include Global.

Merging Projects in RoboHelp 8

I've never merged projects before so this is probably user
error, but when I follow the steps from the Adobe help system for
merging projects in RoboHelp 8, generate the project, and then view
it my merged project is not present. This is what I did:
(1) Created a generic project (documentation that we reuse in
all help systems)
(2) Created the client project (documentation that's specific
to this client's help system)
(3) From the Client Project in the TOC pod, I clicked the New
Merged Project icon
(4) This is a WebHelp Pro project so I selected the
FlashHelp/WebHelp/Adobe AIR tab
(5) I browsed for the generic project (located in a seperate
folder)
(6) I clicked OK
(7) The generic project name showed up in the TOC
(8) I generated the project like normal
(9) I clicked View Results and the only stuff that's there is
just the stuff from the client project. Nothing from the generic
project is available.
Everything that I read says that merged project doesn't show
up until the project is published. I guess with the way we do work
I don't understand the difference between generating and
publishing. What happens is that I generate the project, zip the
WebHelp Pro folder, email it to a developer or put it in a shared
drive depending on the client and then the developer attached the
files to the system. To call the correct screen, I have to include
a HTM for every single screen (wfm) in the application. The
application calls the screen name with the same HTM name which
displays a screen help page for that particular screen and then the
user can use the navigation (TOC or search or links) to find the
help topics they're looking for. I doubt this is the "best" way to
do this, but I'm working with developers on a 12 hour time
difference and this is how they requested the files. Point being --
there is no "publishing" step according to my understanding of
publishing. I know there is a server somewhere because the actually
application we build is on a server, but I don't know the technical
aspects about how my HTM files I create get onto that server and
display online.
Can anyone help me?

Actually, I had generated all the child project previously,
but what I did wrong is that I didn't create a folder for the
child. It looks like in the table of contents, you actually have to
include a separate folder for the mergedProject to go into. I just
called it the same thing that I called the child project. For
example "Global Features." You can't just have the mergedProject go
into the table of contents without it being in a folder (normally).
That said, I did find a way to get it in there before I found this
solution. I did all the steps that Peter Grainge had suggested,
then I copied and pasted the !SSL folder from where the child
project was saved into the mergedProject folder of the parent
project. That's basically what RoboHelp does anyway, but doing it
manually allows for you not to have to create a folder in the table
of contents -- just provides a different navigation to the same
thing.

Glossary does not appear in merged project

Hi,
I am using RHX5 to produce help in HTML chm format. I have 14
separate projects which are merged into a master project, due to a
bug in RH in which the table of contents does not display correctly
I use HTML Help Workshop to compile the master project.
One of the 14 projects has glossary entries and so far I have
been unable to make the glossary entries appear in the master
project when it is compiled in HTML Help Workshop.
I have registered the hhactivex.dll.
I checked the glossary checkbox in the windows setup in both
the individual project and the master and I added a glossary entry
to the master project.
When I compile the project using RH then all the glossary
entries appear but the table of contents is messed up.
When I compile the project using HTML Help Workshop then only
the single glossary entry from the master project appears.
Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?
TIA
Morven

Hi Morven. When you say your TOC is messed up are you
referring to the problem where the merged projects appear as a book
within a book? If so,
click
here for a method to get around it and use RH to compile your
output. If this is not the problem to which you refer, I'll crawl
back under my stone.

Map ID with merged projects

Hello,
I'm working on merged projects for made one CHM for a
software.
I manage to merge the several chm, but now I've got a another
problem with the topics ID I use to call help in the application.
I create a file Map-ID for all my .chm, but I don't know how
to use it from my principal .chm.
- Do I must create only one file Map-ID for all the .chm ?
- Do I must use all the Map-ID of all the ;chm and call them
from my principal .chm ?
If somebody can help me for that.
Thanks a lot.

vlavergne,
This area of HTML Help deployment is a little tricky. You can
either channel all the context help calls through the master help
file, as described here:
http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/how_to_merge.htm#ContextHelpIDs
http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/how_to_merge_ctx2.htm
or you can pass the calls directly to the slaves -- but you
would modify their window definitions so that they open with
exactly the same navigation pane as the master file. For guidelines
on how to do this, see the section headed "Step 3 - Slave Windows
Definitions" in the first of the two pages above.
Here's an earlier thread that may provide useful information:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=449&threadid=10585 87
Are you using the HTML Help API or .NET HelpProvider
components to display context-sensitive help?

Aperture 3 - When I merge projects......

My images are referenced.........
When I merge projects inside Aperture 3, how do I get them to be merged on my external drive? Do I go in and do it manually, or is there a command in A3 that I should use to execute this action? I looked inside the menus, but nothing popped out at me as the right action to take. And.....
I assume that I need to manually merge these images on the backup external drive, right? There is no command inside Aperture to merge them on my backup, right? Or is there?
Thanks.

JUN48 - Thanks for your help, but I believe that "Consolidate Masters" is for bringing images into a managed library.
TD - Thanks also. You asked why I want my external images moved..... because I want/need my external to mirror my A3 library in the app. I was going to just try this manually but was afraid I'd mess things up (like in iPhoto where you don't want to touch the organization of folders and such). But I posted here to get the know how before I execute the rearrangement. Anyway, what's the correct way to do this? Or should I just do it manually and A3 will still find and handle these images OK??????

Can you merge projects in imovie 09?

Is it possible to merge projects in iMovie09?
I am using iDVD, and I realized after my first test that it would be a lot easier if I could just merge all of my projects for each year, then put each year as one movie in iDVD.
But I do not see how to do this.
Does anyone know?
Thanks.

Mac81 wrote:

No.
And iDVD doesn't offer a play-all feature as Toast does.
What you can do, 'merge' all Project-exports by re-importing them into a single new one. Or, for such purpose better/faster, using Quicktime-pro to glue all .mov together.

Merging Companies - How to handle employees.

Hello everybody.
I'm currently undergoing a project, in which six companies will be merged into one, only, in SAP. My doubt is mainly in the Employees: what type of special attention should i have in terms of the system, regarding this subject (besides of migrating the employee to the new company)?
I would also like to hear some experience form similar projects.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Hugo Ferreira

Hugo,
I am involved in a merger project... My project involved three diferent companies from two different countries. When you merge HR you should pay attention to following:
=> Define the complete enterprise structure that covers the business requirements: Company codes, Personal Area, Personal Subarea, Employee group, Employee subgroup and payroll area.
HOW to define the enterprise structure:
=> Analyse the business requirements from the 6 companies:
     1. Will the FI/CO be treated as an entities per company. This determines how many company codes and payroll areas will be needed;
     2. Number of payroll areas is also determined if the 6 companies are from different countries, if the salary dates will be differents and if there are diferent payment periods;
     3. Time management requirements. Are there rules that are applicable only to certain group of employees? For example: Overtime payment is only for employees in the plant. Offices workers earn additional rest hours when they work overtime, etc...
      4. Payroll requirements. The salary structure are different for a different group of employees? For example: Expatriates salaries has an host and home componenet on there salary with diferent tax implications. When the local employees do not have that split.
Answers to 3. and 4. will determine the Number and structure of personal area/subarea and employee group/subgroup...
I hope that this helps....
Um abraco,
LA

Merging Projects / Activity Renumbering

I am using P6. In P3 there was an easy way to merge
projects and renumber activities. How do you merge in P6.?
Any ideas for renumbering activities?

Hallo Tony,
to develop large-scale Web Dynpro applications in team you can utilize the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastrucutre. In this case Web Dynpro projects are represented as Web Dynpro Development Components. The great advantage of this approach is based on the fact, that you can design component-based Web Dynpro applications with a clear separation of concerns. Within one single Web Dynpro component (not Development Component) only one single developer should work so that no merging of concurrent versions have to be done.
Have a look at this SAP NetWeaver Online Help Document on <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ae/1ae58540ea454db1aa14fd635bc10d/frameset.htm">Development in a Team</a>.
I'm currently working on new documents and resources describing the component-based Web Dynpro application design. They will be published soon on SDN ... here they are: <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bd0e0401-0801-0010-aaab-d0e">Learn How to Design Component Based Web Dynpro Applications</a>

Merged Project for RoboHelp 10 - TOC does not display

I created a merged project.
I created a master/parent project.
I added the children rreferences in the parent TOC using the new merged button.
I published the parent project.
I published all the children (in the parent merged project folder).
I generated the parent project again for webhelp, then click view results.
The parent project displays with the TOC (children), BUT as soon as I click Allow Blocked content, the TOC disappears (first topic is blank).
I have created all projects files locally. The children (when viewed independency) work fine.
I have deleted and started over 3 times with the same issue. I contacted Adobe Support, but they could not help.
Any idea o what might be the issue or how to resolve this problem.
Thanks!
Kim

First of all try moving the project so that the path is shorter. Create a folder like C:\RhMerge.
Second, I notice your path has spaces showing in the browser. Browser addresses substitute %20 so I am not sure how you have managed that. However the demo does not have spaces unless you have buried it somewhere that does.
Also please try Firefox as well.
Post back if still not resolved or to tell us what fixed it.
