More flexible task control

Currently we have wery limpted task control options: to see executed task percentage and to stop it.
What about some kind of priority management and ability to pause or even schedule some tasks instead of stopping them?
The main reason for my suggestion is this: often I started, say, exporting a lots of tiffs, but suddenly I need full proccessing power for some particular task. I wish to pause LR, not to stop completely and then try to remember where I was.
The second reason: some exporting tasks are actually not so urgent and better to give them low priority. Lightroom is not a speed daemon, unfortunately.

+1 vote.
At a minimum:
- Having long running tasks execute at low priority.
- Pause/Continue.
I dont know how hard the first item would be given Lightroom's design, but the second one cant be that hard...
PS - I used to start Lightroom itself at low priority so I could play HD video (without stuttering) while exporting, but since I upgraded my motherboard this is no longer a problem. Anyway, a work-around is to change priority of Lightroom itself... One of my biggest reasons for pause/continue is to process a new batch of photos without having to restart an export...

The Transform Each Effect: more flexibility is needed please...

Is this really wishful thinking?
Hi,
I was reveiwing recently an episode on AdobeTV with Colin Smith regarding a very neat trick applying a style with Illustrator and repeating business cards on the same page. Very cool idea and way of using that effect indeed. I particularly like the fact that you can store and save that effect as a style so you can use it over and over again.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/no-stupid-questions-with-colin-smith/illustrator-business-cards/
A question came up to my mind about an issue and some possible limitations of this "Effect", since it can only resize objetcs by entering % values but nowhere can one can enter numeric values instead. Of course you can perform that task with the "Transform Pannel" but you cannot do it with the "Transform Each Effect". Let's say that you have many logos on a page that you would like to reduce/enlarge to a certain width or height for each one as 2" width for example, you would have to do the math first to figure our what would be the % and then transfer this result in % to the "Transform Each Effect" so it can do the task.
In such a case, you cannot use the "Transform Panel" to reduce all the logos at the same time to a individual width of 2" because Illustrator then consider the width of all the logos globally or as a "Group" but not each one of them. So you would end up with the wrong result. And, going futher with the math would means further steps and maybe involves then other "Trial an error" tests before acheiving what you are looking for.
For a better understanding, please view the above video where the author explain and debates quite clearly that point::
http://youtu.be/V4-Ee9mJAOA
Like the author says at the end of in his video, you can always make a small "Action Script" but it involves more steps andfurther testings. So more flexibility is needed here from the "Transform Each Effect" and I tend to agree with the gentlemen on that matter. As you may know, many of us who are involved in production the simple task of rearranging/transforming logos is performed many times for certain projects. By adding this feature to the "Transform Each Panel" would be a great help to us all. Also, just imagine if that feature could then be save as a "Style", what a great time saver it would be for all of us!
I know that you can first rezise one object with the "transform Panel" an then use the the "Transform again" command in order to apply it to the others. But you cannot do it to all at the same time because Illustrator apply that transformation then globally. Also, if the some logos are let's say of various sizes it does not work at all.
Is there another way some of you may know how to do it simpler? Is there a special "Plugin" available with Illustrator that you may know who could perform that type of task?
May I finally point out that i'ts not a matter of doing that small task but the pain rather resides in doing it over and over again. So I do beleive that flexibility is needed here for us all...
Thanking you in advance and looking forward to read you,
Robert Marchand
P.S.:
Sorry, but English is a "Work in progress" in my case...

oh yeah. sorry. Two new errors were generated (same
type). ...Yeah, sorry I didn't look closely enough.
May I suggest a different approach? This is far from perfect, but is a big improvement of your current code:public class Inventory
    public static void main( String args[] )
        Iteminfo[] myItems = new Iteminfo[3];
        myItems[0] = new Iteminfo( 01, "Laptop", 15, 2000 );
        myItems[1] = new Iteminfo( 02, "Desktop", 25, 1500 );
        myItems[2] = new Iteminfo( 03, "Server", 10, 5000 );
        System.out.println("Inventory Program Part 2\n\n");
        displayItems(myItems);
        System.out.printf( "The total of all inventory is: $%.2f. \n\n", getInvTotal(myItems));
        System.out.printf( "The sorted inventory list is: ");
        sortItemInfo(myItems);
        displayItems(myItems);
    static void displayItems(Iteminfo[] myItems)
        for(int i = 0; i < myItems.length; i++)
            System.out.printf("Item "+(i+1)+": \n\n");
            myItems.displayInfo();
static double getInvTotal(Iteminfo[] myItems)
double total = 0.0;
// Do the same thing with the for-statement here as
// well, and add everything to the variable total.
return total;
static void sortItemInfo(Iteminfo[] myItems)
// your sort algorithm here
Try to finish it.
Good luck.

Need for more flexibility in deciding who can edit shopping carts and do GR

Hello,
Running ECS SRM 5.0
As far as I know, there are two options when it comes to who can edit and change shopping carts and also do goods receipt.
These two options are controlled by roles. The normal is that you can only do this with documents created by you, or you can do this for all documents by using admin role and central receiver.
My business needs more flexibility here. We want to have ie one person in each organizational unit that can edit SC and do GR for everybody in his unit (and only there).
Is there a way this can be controlled, i.e. in a badi?
I know about shop on behalf of and that is a workaround that we can use, but I am looking for a more smooth solution

What is more flexible ?

Hi,
Reading the generics faq, I have encountered this text:
"In general, if you have an API that only uses a type parameter T as an argument, its
uses should take advantage of lower bounded wildcards (? super T). Conversely, if
the API only returns T, you�ll give your clients more flexibility by using upper bounded
wildcards (? extends T)."
Could anybody please explain me how would somebody benefit
by using this convention ? Any examples ?
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Simu,
That's right - an excellent example :)
Moreover - I do understand what you write here
and why it's useful here. But according to what was
written in the sun's faq (let me quote it again):
"In general, if you have an API that only uses a type parameter T as an argument, its
uses should take advantage of lower bounded wildcards (? super T). Conversely, if
the API only returns T, you�ll give your clients more flexibility by using upper bounded
wildcards (? extends T)."
An example you could fit into this convention could be (let's quote again):
public static <T> List<? extends T> doSomething(List<? super T> l) {
   return new ArrayList<T>(); // what else could I put in here ? I can't
                                                   //put just anything since I don't know what the T
                                                   //is going to be, so no subtypes available ...
                                                  //as for formal method's parameter l - there isn't
                                                  //any other benefit then being able to invoke eg:
                                                  // l.add() .... or is there something else ?
}So we accept a parameterized formal method's parameter whose
type parameter is bounded wildcard. I understand that it is useful
as we are able to call e.g.: l.add() But sometimes it is not that case
and we want to accept List<? extends T>. So why does author assume that
List<? super T> is in general better ? (Why is he assuming that in general
we want to be able to call parameter's methods which have type parameter
in its signature more often ?) And secondly, as I wrote as comment, what is
the benefit of RETURNING List<? extends T> ?
And have a look at what I wrote about copy method again:
Original from Collections:
public static <T> void copy(List<? super T> dst, List<? extends T> src) {}My propose:
public static <T> void copy(List<? super T> dst, List<T> src) {}They BOTH work.
Thanks for your patient :)

Worklist - Task Control Factory Event Handler Issue

I am developing a worklist application, which requires to create Task (Approval Process) for each user in a group.I have created a Task Control Factory in a "For Each" loop which creates multiple Tasks and i can see them through the default "worklist GUI" provided also "complete" the tasks. The Issue is the "onTaskCompleted" event does not get captured. It just gets lost.
FYI, I have followed the BEA guidelines (http://e-docs.bea.com/wli/docs81/worklist/advanced.html#1076366)for creating Task Control Factories.
Any kind of help will be really appreciated

I am only guessing here, but since your process is creating multiple tasks, the completion of any single task can't be captured by your process. Once you start creating multiple tasks your ability to monitor a single task probably gets lost.
One possibility to fix this is for your process to have a parallel branch: one branch will call a sub process for each task that you need completed and one branch will receive the call backs from the sub process. In this way you will be able to have multiple tasks created simultaneously while still capturing the individual onTaskCompleted events.
Hope this helps.

Issue with Task Control Call back and Event Choice in WLI BPM 8.1

Hi,
I am using a Task Control Factory to create Task Control Instances in a loop
and then
create tasks and assign them to a predefined group. I have an event choice
for two events
waiting for the onTaskCompleted and onTaskAborted event call backs.
I have two such operations (of task creation) in the same loop. For
simplicity I have used two separate task factory controls for each of the
tasks (because I even had worse problems using a single control factory for
both tasks in the same loop).
When I instantiate the process, through work list I am able to claim, start
and complete the first task. When I try the same procedure (claim, start and
complete) on the second task, the the event choice for the corresponding
task receives 2 event call backs. First it receives the onTaskCompleted as
expected, but then it also received another call back of the same type which
displays the error on the server log as:
<Sep 24, 2003 9:43:56 AM EDT> <Warning> <WLW> <000000> <on process

Want to know more details about control breaks in reports

hello all
i want to know more details about control breaks AT First,
                                                                      AT Last,
                                                                      AT New,
                                                                      At End of and on change .
can anybody tell with examples?

Hi Swamy,
   Check the following.
Control break statements are used to create statement blocks which process only specific table lines the LOOP ENDLOOP block.
You open such a statement block with the control level statement AT and close it with the control level statement ENDAT. The syntax is as follows:
Table should be sorted when you use control-break statements
You can break the sequential access of internal tables by using these statements.
Syntax:
At first.
<Statement block>
Endat.
This is the first statement to get executed inside the loop (remember control break statements are applicable only inside the loop)
So in this block you can write or process those statements which you want to get executed when the loop starts.
At New carrid.
Write:/ carrid.
Endat.
In this case whenever the new carrid is reached, carrid will be written.
At End of carrid.
Uline.
Endat.
In this case whenever the end of carrid is reached, a line will be drawn.
At Last.
Write:/ Last Record is reached.
Endat.
Processing of statements within this block is done when entire processing of entire internal table is over. Usually used to display grand totals.
You can use either all or one of the above control break statements with in the loop for processing internal table.
At end of carrid.
Sum.
Endat.
In above case the statement SUM (applicable only within AT-ENDAT) will sum up all the numeric fields in internal table and result is stored in same internal table variable.
Hope this helps you.
Any queries, get back to me.
Regards,
Chandra Sekhar

It must compare data file with control file, but what compare?

Begin from the beginning.
Did you do a RESTORE DATABASE ?
Or did you selectively restore datafiles ?
Strange datafile name --- looks like it could have been a DATAFILECOPY done using rman.
It is a very bad idea to have a datafile in /tmp On some OSs, /tmp may get cleared of files on a reboot.

More "flexible" watermarking?

I do portraits of show animals. Which means I want to "sign" my images with a small signature in different spots depending on the particular image. In LR5, I can place a watermark on an image, but I haven't been able to figure out how to adjust it without creating a NEW watermark. After doing this enough times, I end up with a couple dozen water marks that all have the same content, but are in very slightly different places. And, of course, I haven't come up with a way of naming them so I can find exactly which one sits in exactly which spot...
Is there any way to make the positioning of the watermark more flexible, so I can just move it where I want, then export the image WITHOUT having to create a new watermark every time?
Yes, I can VERY easily do this in Photoshop by just dropping a signature with a transparent-background layer on the image, but it seems silly to have to go into Photoshop JUST to put a signature watermark on an image...
Ideas?

Dave,
I do this by having a single Signature Watermark preset that I update each time. Since my signature is almost never going to be in the same place on any image, I don't worry about saving it from export-to-export.
Create a Signature Preset called Floating Signature. When you are ready to export, invoke Floating Signature. Launch the editor. Move the watermark to where you desire and then Select Update Preset "Floating Signature" from the pulldown at the top left of the Watermark Editor. It will allow you to use the modified watermark without ending up with many slightly different watermarks.
Not as elegant as you might like, perhaps but it does keep you from getting a big list of slightly-different watermarks, and avoids going to Photoshop.

IExternalizable more flexible?

has anyone used the IExternalizable interface? ...
I have a fundamental question. When I haved serialized my object ... and have saved as a file .... and now I wants to make some changes in the class ... e.g. add an attribute ... I can not re-convert the file into an object of this class ... because in the readExternal method is now one more attribute, which the stored object (file) does not own ....
is there a way to make this more flexible?
-- // german
Hallo hat schon mal jemand das im Titel erwähnte Interface benutzt? ...
Habe mal ne grundlegende Frage dazu. Wenn ich mein Objekt serialisiert habe... und als Datei abgespeichert habe.... und nun in der Klasse einige Änderungen vornehmen möchte... z.B. ein Attribut hinzufügen... dann kann ich die Datei nicht wieder in ein Objekt dieser Klasse umwandeln... weil in der readExternal methode nun ein Attribute mehr abgefragt wird, welches das gespeicherte Objekt (Datei) nicht besitzt....
gibts da Möglichkeiten das flexibler zu machen?
Beispiel Code:
Klasse A
     var attr1:String;
Fall 1: Klasse(Objekt) wird als Datei gespeichert (mit Hilfe von IExternalizable) und auch wieder geladen... alles Prima...
Fall 2: Klasse(Objekt) wird als Datei gespeicher ....... und nun wird sie Verändert wie folgt....
Klasse A
     var attr1:String;
     var attr2:String;
Bei Fall 2: ist ein laden der gepeicherten Datei zurück in ein Objekt nicht mehr möglich.. Error #2006 The supplied index is out of bounds.... was ja logisch ist... wie macht man das jetzt dynamischer!?

You can try one of these:
Sites for Ordering Bound Books
Ofoto
Shutterfly
SharedInk
ImageStation
PhotoWorks
Viovo
Blurb
You can also Google for "online books" or "online book creation", etc.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
