Mouse/Trackpad/Trackpoint acceleration: How to get it right?

I fail to get the acceleration for my mouse, trackpad and trackpoint right. It seems like having 100 interdependent knobs and trying to find some secret combination of values.
I decided to use xset and xinput. For example:
xset m 5 1
xinput --set-prop 'device1' 'Device Accel Profile' 2 # Polynomial
xinput --set-prop 'device1' 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 3
xinput --set-prop 'device1' 'Device Accel Adaptive Deceleration' 2
xinput --set-prop 'device1' 'Device Accel Velocity Scaling' 5
... 'device2' ...
... 'device3' ...
After having tried a bazillion of different values in different combinations, I'd be extremely glad to receive a KISS recipe on how to get it right.

Hi Hickrock,
1) Your material is 16 by 9 - drop a Compressor preset on there and it will recognise this and encode 16 by 9 which DVDSP will then recognise. Not sure how you got 4 by 3 in there unless you manually changed it to this.
2) Get a bitrate calculator (Google it) and calculate the maximum allowable bitrate - depends on length and type of audio. I generally never use CBR and haven't noticed the difference.
3) I usually get flickering on photos and graphics which I overcome with gaussian blur. Your flickering might be something to do with fields - try setting field dominance in Compressor to none rather than auto. Also switch on Frame Controls.
This was just a fairly quick answer, there is more to it and I'm sure others will chime in.
I personally have been having issues with Compressor - very good quality but occasional odd pixellation. The only reliable solution I have found, and it has been much discussed on this forum, is to use the Cinemacraft MP plugin.
Good luck

When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.

How to get the right format if I copy data off another source....

IWorks '08
I have a data source that I want to copy to Numbers and it posts it all in the first row, when I paste it. (Excel will automatically format it correctly). I've tried a number of different things and can't figure out how to get the data to post across the page. Can Numbers even do this?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Could you possibly have the insertion cursor blinking in the cell rather than just having a cell selected?
If the cursor is blinking in the cell, Numbers "thinks" you want to paste all of the content in that one cell. By just selecting the cell, the data will be separated if Numbers "sees" the separations. This used to be a problem, particularly with data copied from a web page in Safari, but is mostly fixed in Numbers '09.

Buy a new one?
Seriously, you can't upgrade a video card on a laptop, unless your a electronics whiz or something.
The Intel HD 3000 is a integrated graphics, meaning the CPU does the graphics and isn't all that great because GPU's are more powerful than CPU's apparently.
http://www.cbscores.com/index.php?sort=ogl&order=desc
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
The most powerful vidoe cards are in desktop machines which you can exchange, and for less money Windows tower is a better 3D gaming platform as it comes with Windows when you buy the comptuer (a $300 savings) most games are on Windows because of the less expensive and open hardware.
However! If your into 3D gaming and need a Mac laptop, then you'll need a
2.2 Ghz 15" MacBook Pro with 1GB Radeon 6750M video card or
2.2 Ghz 17" Macbook Pro with 1GB Radeon 6750M video card.
(2.3Ghz is fine too, not all that much faster really)
This Radeon 6750M is THREE times faster than the pitiful Intel HD 3000.
The object being is you buy as much video card performance up front as you can, and play all the latest games at over 50 fps on max settings!
Then over time as new games come out and demand more hardware, you trim down the graphics in the game itself to keep the frame rate up.
Eventually though, you'll have to buy a new MacBook Pro, because you can't (reasonably) change the video card in laptops like you can with a desktop like a Windows PC tower or a MacPro.
The iMac you can't do squat with neither. Which is a shame actually.

How to get the right file name in an attachment

I have design a program to get the attach file from an attachment. But when I click the link to save the file, the default name of the file is 'attach' whenever I get different files. Who know what is the problem, please tell me the truth.
Here are some codes of the program.
download.jsp
<%="test.doc"%>
web.xml
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>AttachmentServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>attachment</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
AttachmentServlet.java
public void doGet
Message msg = folder.getMessage(msgNum);
// the message I get is right and the name of the file in
// the attach in this message is right too.(I have printed)
Multipart multipart = (Multipart)msg.getContent();
Part part = multipart.getBodyPart(partNum);
ContentType ct = new ContentType(sct);
response.setContentType(ct.getBaseType());
InputStream is = part.getInputStream();
int i;
while ((i = is.read()) != -1) {
out.write(i);
out.flush();
out.close();

The trick that I used is to append the URL with the name of the file. So if your url is "http://domain.com/attach", use "http://domain.com/attach/filename.doc". IE and Netscape parse the URL to determine what the filename is, so by placing this text at the end, you essentially let the browsers know what the filename is. :)

How to get the right Serial Number during Pick Release

Please we need your help to get the right serial number => Auto-Allocate on YES, Pick Confirm with NO.
A problem is occurring during the Pick Release process. Custom code has been added to the hook INV_DETAIL_SERIAL_PUB to provide the Pick Release process with the serial number to pick for the item being pick released. The hook works and the Pick Release process picks the correct (specified) serial number. However, at some point later in the Pick Release process the lot number is chosen and the process seems to pick the first lot number it finds available for the item – it does not take into account the serial number provided by the hook. This causes the Pick Release process to fail when the lot number chosen is not the lot number linked to the serial number. Has anyone else encountered this same issue?
An example:
Item ABC123
Serial SER001 – Lot LOT001
Serial SER002 – Lot LOT002
Serial SER003 – Lot LOT003
Item ABC123 is being pick released.
The customised hook provides the Pick Release process with serial SER002.
The Pick Release process correctly uses SER002, but chooses lot LOT001.
thanks!
Francisco

Hi,
I guess you have added the code at slightly different place.
Pick Release Process will always allocate lots based on Inventory Picking Rule (or WMS Pick Strategy if you are using WMS).
So if you want to override that you much first delete the MTLT record (inv_trx_util_pub.delete_lot_ser_trx), then insert MTLT with your Lot number (inv_trx_util_pub.insert_lot_trx)..then insert MSNT (inv_trx_util_pub.insert_ser_trx) with your serial number.
Ensure that transaction_temp_id on MSNT should match with SERIAL_TRANSACTION_TEMP_ID on MTLT table.
Thanks,
Hrishi

1080p to SD DVD - how to get it right?

Hi,
I need to create a DVD out of a 86 minute show cut on a Media Composer. End result will be a SD DVD that will go out to a copy house, who will create the copies for us from a glass master. The producer is not sure at the moment, whether to use a dual layer DVD for both the main film and the bonus material, or two dual layer DVDs, as that would mean a more relaxed bit budget would be in order. Material is 1080p25 and encoded DNxHD 120 MXF.
At the moment, we export the sequence to a QT film, ProResHQ codec, then let compressor encode the resulting file. Squeeze crashes, and any other export option on the Avid, too. A bug, but there we go. ProRes looks jolly good, anyway.
1) I am a bit puzzled now, what settings I should use in Compressor. Using a 4:3 aspect ratio, I get a 720x576 (PAL-land) file that is anamorphic.
Using the 16:9 aspect ratio, I get 720x404 files. Which is the better option, seeing as in DVDSP I choose 16:9 letterbox for the track.
2) Also, I have so far stuck to CBR at a setting of around 6.2 MBps, but those were shorter projects. A long time ago, VBR seems to have produced artifacts, so I stuck to CBR ever since. Is VBR a better option on such a long project? And what bit rates might be advisable to use?
3) On some scenes, where there are fine structures like pebbles on the ground, I get some kind of a flickering effect. I remember reading somewhere that people import HD films into FCP and apply a small amount of channel blur before sending the film to compressor. Is that a good idea?
Any thoughts or criticisms are welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks in advance,
Colin

Hi Hickrock,

How to get the selected rows & columns in the table?

hi everybody,
In my application the table is kept inside the event structure.I select the cells in the table (using mouse) on running time.How to get the selected number of rows & columns in that table?

Hello,
You can fill selected values of the table by writing to it or the corresponding property using a property node - the table is just a 2D array of strings. I think for your "disable" question you are referring to the shortcut menu (when you right click). If you are using LabVIEW 8.x, you can edit or disable that shortcut menu - just right click on your table at edit time and choose Advanced >> Run-Time Shortcut Menu.

How to get formatted text into arrays

Dear experts and helpers,
For my project I import an RTF file and then read the data from it into 3 arrays. This works fine when just using the string contents of the paragraphs. However, the final script should be able to read and replace formatted text...
Why use the intermediate arrays? Because otherwise I need to switch back and forth between two fm-documents (and one may be a book component).
The imported file starts with a number of lines separated into two items by a TAB (» denotes a TAB, in FM \x08)
[[Garneau, 1990 #12]]    »   [9]
The right item may also be locally formatted text, e.g. [9]
Then follow the same (or smaller) number of paragraphs with formatted text like this:
[9] » D. Garneau, Ed., National Language Support Reference Manual (National language Information Design Guide. Toronto, CDN: IBM National Language Technical Centre, 1990.
Is it possible to replace in the body of the function below the following piece
while(pgf.ObjectValid()) {
    pgfText = GetText (pgf, newDoc);
    gaBibliography.push(pgfText);
    pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
with this
while(pgf.ObjectValid()) {
    gaBibliography.push(pgf);
    pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
Do I need a special declaration of the array gaBibliography ?
And how to get the right part of the intro lines as formatted thingy into array gaFmtCitsFmt ?
Currently I read into arrays only the 'strings' (function GetText not shown):
var gaFmtCitsRaw = [];                           // left column in processed RTF
var gaFmtCitsFmt = [];                           // right column in processed RTF
var gaBibliography= [];                           // bibliography lines from processed RTF
// filename is something like E:\_DDDprojects\FM+EN-escript\FM-testfiles\BibFM-collected-IEEE.rtf
function ReadFileRTF (fileName) {
var nCits=0, nBib = 0, openParams, openReturnParams, newDoc, pgf, pgfText ;
var TAB = String.fromCharCode(8);               // FM has wrong ASCI for TAB
var parts = [];
openParams = GetOpenDefaultParams();
openReturnParams = new PropVals();
newDoc = Open (fileName, openParams, openReturnParams);
pgf = newDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf; // get first pgf in flow
// --- read the temp/formatted citations
while(pgf.ObjectValid()) {
    pgfText = GetText (pgf, newDoc);
    if (pgfText.substring (0,2) == "[[") {        // citation lines start with [[
      parts = pgfText.split(TAB);                 // get the two parts of the line
      gaFmtCitsRaw.push (parts[0]);               // Push the result onto the global array
      gaFmtCitsFmt.push (parts[1]);
      pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
    } else { break }
// --- read the bibliography
while(pgf.ObjectValid()) {                      // until end of doc
    pgfText = GetText (pgf, newDoc);
    gaBibliography.push(pgfText);
    pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
newDoc.Close (Constants.FF_CLOSE_MODIFIED);
} // --- end ReadFileRTF
The next questions then will be how to modify Ian Proudfoot's FindAndReplace script to handle formatted text as replacement. IMHO i will need to use copy/paste ...

Klaus,
Working with text is about the most complicated thing to do within FrameMaker. It seems counter-intuitive, since it is about the easiest thing to do with the GUI. But alas, once you remove the ability to select with a mouse and type with a keyboard, text becomes a wild jungle of complexity.
Text ranges are not too bad, once you get the general idea. It is just that... a range of text, like something you would select with a mouse. Like a mouse selection, it starts before some character in some paragraph and ends after some character in some paragraph. It may be the same paragraph, which is a selection within a paragraph. The character can even be the same, which is then just an insertion point (cursor) somewhere.
So, a text range is a data structure that defines two paragraphs and two characters. In the jargon of scripting, the character is called an "offset." An offset is simply the number of characters past the beginning of said paragraph, where 0 is the beginning.
For example, if you want to capture the first five characters of a paragraph as a text range, you can do this, where 'pgf' is some paragraph object:
var textRange = new TextRange();
textRange.beg.obj = pgf;
textRange.beg.offset = 0;
textRange.end.obj = pgf;
textRange.end.offset = 5;
If you want to capture a whole paragraph, change that last line to the number of characters in the pgf, or you can do this:
textRange.end.offset = Constants.FV_OBJ_END_OFFSET;
...where that constant is just some built-in thing that means "get me to the end of whatever." It's a convenience of the interface.
I'll also note that a text range is actually just an array of two text location structures, one named 'beg' and one named 'end.' If you think of a text location as defined by paragraph and an offset from the first character, maybe that will make more sense.
Text item structures are a whole new mess of complexity. I can't possibly go into an explanation of them here.
I think that many ES developers (definitely myself included) still use the FDK documentation because it is considerably more comprehensive. The two interfaces are largely parallel, but of course somewhat different in the language syntax. Consider that as a potential resource.

How to get retro pay in payroll

How to get retro pay in bw.

I have the same issue. payslip shows the retro amounts correctly, but i can't figure out how to get the right amount using the data found in the RT table..
one thing i got is, when all retro amounts are added up, less the deductions and adjustment in retro the value is equal to that from wage type /552.. but i can't figure out how to get the breakdown using RT data..
retro amounts have the letter "R" before each wage type.
edit:
i found this program RPCLGA00.. it shows the right values/amount for each wage type, including retro.. but i am still unable to figure out how i can arrive at the same values using RT data.. can someone help me understand the program?

How to get the correct size of the loaded swf file?

final public class main extends Sprite
public function main()
   loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, _onLoadCompleted);
private function _onLoadCompleted(event: Event): void
   var tw: int = stage.width;
   var th: int = stage.height;
   var tsw: int = stage.stageWidth;
   var tsh: int = stage.stageHeight;
Above is my simple as3 project in flex builder 3.
My screen resolution is 1920*1080, when debugging, the swf is stretched to the full client area of the IE, but the stage.stageWidth is 500 and the stage.stageHeight is 375, both the stage.widht and stage.height are 0, who can tell me why and how to get the right size of the swf file, named the client area size of the IE in this situation?
Thanks very much!

The HTML wrapper might resize the SWF later, so wait a frame and check stageWidth/stageHeight again.

How to get iTunes to recognize an Italian album (not as Spanish)

I have a number of albums by my favorite Italian artists (Eros Ramazzotti, Nek, Laura Pausini, et al.). These artists habitually release their Italian-language CDs first, and then record and release the same CD (i.e., song list) in Spanish.
However, when here in the States I insert the original Italian-language albums, about half the time the album is given the Spanish title and song list, which irks my sense of order. Does anyone know how to get things right, short of my manually having to type in each album's song list? (Peeved: I'm moving to the Apple/Mac world form the PC world, and Windows Media Player at least gives me a choice between the Italian title/songlist and the Spanish one).
Thanks in advance for any advice.

iTunes does not recognize cameras, it only recognizes iDevices.
Windows computers could careless that it's a phone or iPod or whatever, they will only recognize it as a camera.
Plug the device into the computer.
Lauch iTunes.
Sync whatever you like to it.
If you have issues, clearly explain exactly what is happening.
