Moving picture files when stored via Reference Library in iPhoto

I have been managing my iPhoto files through the Reference Library since I also access these files through Picasa. I have the same files on my PC and I want to have a single store of my picture files that I share between my PC and my mac.
So, it is obvious. Create a network attached file system. So far so good.
My question is I currently have an iPhoto library. I would like to keep the info in my iPhoto library (events, etc) when I move the actual pictures. I know that they currently have an absolute reference to the actual pictures. So, how do I change the path of where the photos are stored. The file structure will be the same. However, they will now be on a network attached file system.

If the source files are on a different volume than the library, moving them will break the links and will have to be relinked one by one. It's the nature of the beast.
In some instances relinking one of the files, when iPhotos asks you to find the file, in an event will relink all of the photos in that event. But not always. You will have to relink each event individually.

I recently installed a 2nd drive in my Mac Pro. I wanted my pictures on the new drive so I moved the Picture file there. I also upgraded my iPhoto. Now iPhoto doesn't know where many of the photos are. Any quick fix?

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the library on the other hard drive from those listed in the window:

Using Windows 7 and LR 5, when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword. Why does the Library Filter showing pictures that do not match the query

Dan,
Here's what's going on in the catalog you sent me, "Joel & Caitlin's Wedding". There is the keyword "gwenn", which is explicitly assigned to 7 pics. But keyword "schwartz" has a number of synonyms, including "gwenn", and it is assigned to 25 pics. There is no overlap between the two sets of pics.
I discovered these two occurrences by doing Metadata > Export Keywords, opening the exported file in an editor, and then searching for "gwenn". I found two occurrences of "gwenn":
gwenn
schwartz
{gwenn}
From this, you can see that the keyword "schwartz" has 9 synonyms, of which "gwenn" is one.
The filter criterion "Keywords Contain gwenn" will match the 7 pics that are explicitly assigned the keyword "gwenn", and it will also match the 25 pics assigned the keyword "schwartz", because that keyword has a synonym "gwenn".
This illustrates the behavior I mentioned above: The criterion "Keywords contains x" will match against any of a pic's assigned keywords, any of those keywords' ancestor keywords, and any of the synonyms of the assigned keywords and their ancestors.
So LR is operating correctly here, if not in a way that's easy to understand.
It appears that you are using the synonyms of "schwartz" to represent individual members of the Schwartz family. A better way of representing family relationships is to have a parent keyword "Schwartz", with subkeywords for each family member, e.g. "Gwenn Schwartz", "Joe Schwartz", "Jane Schwartz", etc. Repeating the family name in the subkeywords has a couple of advantages. LR usually only displays the "leaf" name of a keyword, so instead of showing you just "Joe", it will show you "Joe Schwartz", helpful when there are a number of different people whose first name is "Joe". Also, if you ever export your pics to other software, it may not understand the LR hierarchy and won't show the parent keywords, so again it's more informative to see a keyword named "Joe Schwartz" rather than "Joe".

PDF files which stored in document library cannot be opened directly via Adobe Reader

When I open PDF files(Clicking on the "..." ellipsis actions menu and then selecting "Open") that are stored in the library of SharePoint2013 , it caused "An error occurred on the server ". However, in the Search

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that when open pdf files in library, you got the following error ”

Did you install the following hotfix package on your SharePoint 2013 servers:

You can install the above hotfix, then check whether it works.
There are some articles for your reference.

Moving original files when you use your own folder structure

I currently maintain my own folder structure (on the HDD) for Aperture to read files from (rather than allow it to create its own complicated structure). Based on what i have seen so far, I understand that Aperture links its project with the HDD folder from where you import images.
In an instance, where I moved my file from the HDD folder structure, the image still appears in Aperture, but with a yellow question mark, and it does not allow me to edit it. Here I am assuming that since i moved the file from its HDD folder, Aperture is no longer able to locate it. Hence, I have the following queries about moving/ deleting files from my HDD:
Q1: If I want to move a file from one HDD folder to another, how do I do so without losing its link in Aperture
Q2: How do I completely delete a file from my HDD using Aperture? Assume here that I have imported it into Aperture but haven't made any changes to it, which means that I have only one version, the master version. Currently, when I delete it in Aperture using 'Delete version', I notice that the file still exists in the HDD folder). Is it that the only way to delete a file is to do so first from Aperture and then use Finder to delete it from the HDD folder? If not, whats the best way.
Q3: There is another scenario for Q2 - If I have made changes to a file after importing it in Aperture, there are now two versions, master version and edited version. If I want to delete both these files, whats the best way to do so.

OK let's take a step back here. In your previous post you wrote asking how to move a file from one folder on your HD to another so that Aperture wouldn't loose track of it. And for that we answered to use File->Relocate Masters. The last two questions concerned deleting images from both Aperture and the HD. And we covered that.
Now you write:
f i want to move my master and version files from one project to another (and the corresponding master files too), i should first move the master files using File> Relocate master and then drag-drop the versions from within Aperture. (I usually maintain similar names for my HDD folders and corresponding projects in Aperture, hence if i move the master, then it makes sense to move the versions too).
Now you're bringing in moving images in Aperture from one project to another. What you are saying is correct but bear in mind:
The library structure inside Aperture is totally independent of the file structure you use to store referenced masters on the HD outside of Aperture.
Now It is possible to have one mimic the other as you seem to be doing but for all intents and purposes Aperture doesn't care at all how the external file structure appears as long as Aperture knows were the masters are.
So if you want to move masters INSIDE of Aperture from one project to another you can simply drag the visible image from the source project to the destination project. All versions will come along, versions are coupled to their masters and as such can't be moved independently. Any versions in Albums will continue to point to the master they came from.
Now if you want to move the master files EXTERNAL to Aperture you need to use the File->Relocate Master command so that Aperture will know were the files are.
Note: there is another command File->Locate Referenced Files that is used to connect Aperture to its referenced masters if the connection between the two is somehow broken. As for example what would happen if you moved the referenced masters using the finder rather then the Aperture command.
So you should be good to go, just remember that the two structures, Aperture library and referenced files, are independent and don't really need to be kept in sync. And by doing this you're making extra work for yourself that isn't really necessary.

How do I stop duplicating files when I "add to library" ?

I have a folder on an external hard drive containing 20,000 songs. "When I Add To Library" 5,500 get duplicated. I have unchecked the copy files to iTunes Media folder and this still happens. Every file shows the exact same date added. I have never had this problem in the past. I syncronized the hard drive with external library from my lap top, created a new library on the iMac and then Add To Library, the entire folder.
The backup folder does not show all these duplicates. I have thrown out the folder and recopied it from the backup. It looks fine until I try to Add To Library. Then 1/4 of my tracks get duplicated. Most of these are recent purchases, but not all of them.

What exactly are you doing. You never "upload" a library into iPhoto. You import photos (never a library) into iPhoto
And for many reasons I would never import 75,000 in one import. Do a thousand or a few thousand at a time

Moving Picture Files to External Hard Drive

I have been using PE3 on my desktop computer for about a year. I am now scanning several thousand photos from slides using my laptop and a Windows file structure and will soon incorporate them into PE3 with my other photos soon.
Given HD space limits on my desktop computer, I plan to begin storing all my photos on an external hard drive.
1. What is the best method to move the existing PE3 files to the other drive? I understand that some methods lose the file structure that exists. Is that true?
2. What is the best method to incorporate the scanned photos into the PE3 system? I guess I can copy the files into the new HD structure and then inport the photos into PE3.
I would be interested in inputs from someone who had made such a change.
Please help,
Doug

Just to add to Gary's answer
Can you clarify if you are using the Organizer or not. You say "a Windows file structure." Is this a folder based system and you use Windows Explorer for file management-renaming, moving, deleting, etc.
If this is the case, you can simply move the photos without any trouble.
If you use Organizer and have images tagged or built into collections, you should move the images inside of Organizer. Otherwise the underlying MS Access database does not get updated and this is when photos "get lost" in Elements.
A second option would be to move your pictures outside or Organizer and then do a File>Reconnect>All Missing Files. If the only change is a different drive letter, it should find them on the new drive. You'll have to "accept" these changes.
Either way, I would recommend doing the moving/reconnects in batches. Sometimes Access gets "confused", especially if you throw a huge number of files at one time.

Corrupt Files When Backing Up iTunes Library

Hi
I want to back-up my iTunes library so that I have it incase anything goes wrong. I have read the article on how to back-up to an external hard disk (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751) and have bought a 16GB USB memory disk to put the contents on. However I keep hitting a problem........
When copying the library in explorer I always seem to get a message after a while saying that a certain folder/file cannot be copied due to being corrupt. I have tried a few times (starting from scratch) and it is not always the same file, and I have even managed to copy across files that it previously flagged as corrupt. The files do not actuallyappear to be corrupt as I can play them through iTunes (touch wood).
Has anyone else had this problem and got any solutions. Spent around 3 hours trying to back-up last night but ultimately I have got nowhere.
Grateful for any advise.
Chers

You're welcome!
+I have tried though copying other stuff to it (films from my main computer) and it seemed to work fine so problem seems to be limited to iTunes library.+
This is a good clue.
I suspect you're dragging the entire itunes folder over to the drive using Windows Explorer, and it is going for the whole thing at once? But when you just copy a few files over (those films), it does work?
That makes me think one (or three maybe) files in your itunes folder are giving it problems. You could try copying over in smaller batches. For instance, artist folders A through E, then F through O, P through Z.
If it still fails, try even smaller batches. Watch out for C, because the "Compilations" subfolder might be fairly large.
You might also want to back up your itunes library file, iTunes Library.itl.
That file holds all ratings, play counts, play lists, etc.
If you want to assign a drive letter,pick something pretty far down in the alphabet like M for Music.

Missing header files when importing a shared library with labview 8.6?

Hi all,
I want to import a .dll into my .vi program but I am not able to do it...
I have created the dll following the ni website tutorial
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3303#toc2
Once the dll has been created, I have tried to import it with
Tools-Import-Shared Library(dll)
After parsing the header file appears an error like this one:
void __cdecl Zdmt(LVBoolean *stop, double P, char channelName[],
    TD1 *errorIn, TD14 *FFTOptions, TD12 *Calibration, char FileName[],
    int32_t minRecordLength, TD26 *InstrumentHandler, LVRefNum sessionRefArray[],
    LVRefNum *queueIN, TD1 *errorOut, LVBoolean *averagingDone,
    HWAVES LastRecordFetched, TD24 *Impedance, TD17 *ColeColeCluster,
    TD18 *FFTcluster, TD5 *InstrumentHandleOutputCluster, LVRefNum *queueOut,
    int32_t *Acquired, TD6 *FreqTimeInfoCluster, double *averagesCompleted,
    int32_t len);
The following symbols are not defined:
LVBoolean; int32_t; LVRefNum;
Undefined symbols can prevent the wizard from recognizing functions and parameters. To correct this problem, check the header file to determine if you must add predefined symbols. Click the Back button to return to the previous page of the wizard to add a preprocessor definitionsl (for example, "NIAPI_stdcall = __stdcall" or "NIAPIDefined = 1").
The following header file was not found in the specified header file or one of the referenced header files:
- extcode.h
To fix, click the Back button to go to the previous page and add the header file path to the Include Paths list.
I have replaced the first line #include "extcode.h" of the dll header file for #include "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\cintools\extcode.h" that is the full path where the header file is located. However, new libraries seems to be missed:
- stdint.h
- MacTypes.h
Does anybody know what I have to do??
Any help will be really appreciated,
Regards,
Benjamin

If you use any of the LabVIEW cintools headers, they reference other headers too. The import wizard is written in a way that it simply skips parsing datatypes that can not be resolved due to missing header files. If your functions you want to import references such datatypes then you get an according error about any include files the wizard could not load, otherwise not. The wizard can not know which of the missing header files is the problem since it obviously doesn't know what would be in those header files.
The LabVIEW cintools headers are multiplatform, meaning they evaluate various compiler predefined defines to determine which platform they are included in. The import library wizard does not define any specific defines, since it is not really a compiler. So you have to define them. And they get adapted with each new LabVIEW version to support new compilers and compiler versions, so the defines described in the link in the first post do not have to be correct for cintools headers in newer LabVIEW versions.
All in all writing DLLs that interface to LabVIEW cintools headers should not be done by writing them and then importing them using the wizard but instead you should write the VI and create the Call Library Node, then let LabVIEW create a template C file from the context menu of the Call Library Node and copy that into your C sources and fill in the functions from there.

How to get tab delimited text file when Stored Procedure executes ?

Hello Everyone,
I have a stored procedure which returns 1 result set as an output.
I want the output as a Tab Delimited Text file.
I know that I can use SSIS and get the same output but I am not allowed to use SSIS in this case.
Is there any other ways ?
I will be really appreciate If someone can answer with, How many different ways I can get Tab delimited text file ?
Thanks in advance
Henary

you can do that by using SQLCMD
http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2013/03/05/sql-server-exporting-query-results-to-csv-using-sqlcmd/
you can also use BCP
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select * from tempdb.dbo.orders" queryout "c:\output.txt" -c -T'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "exec usertest.dbo.proctest" queryout "c:\output.txt" -c -T'

Cannt see files when opening via Captivate

I am using Captivate v4 and Windows XP.
When I launch Captivate and open my projects folder on my C drive, I am unable to see saved projects I know are in the folder.
I can only see projects ending in .cp but not those projects I have zipped, saved as .exe or the automated backups created by Captivate.
If I open the file direct from desktop...I can see them.
Guess this must have something to do with file types Captivate will work with, but as I have not changed anything I wonder what has gone wrong?
Any ideas anyone please?

Captivate can only open six different file types (as projects).
Things like .exe and zip files are not among those six.
So they wouldn't be visible unless you did something like type *.* in the File-name text box.

Dreamweaver 6 corrupts files when uploading via Dreamweaver ftp tool

When I use Dreamweaver to upload a file very often something gets corrupt. Javascript ceases to work. The page runs locally and javascript works. The file is fine when I upload with a different ftp tool (fetch, Transmit, etc).
When I view the source of the non-working file the code looks all garbled.
When I upload the file witha diftterent ftp tool, all is well.
Never saw this before. What's up?
Using Mac, Lion, latest versions.

You can see a sample page here
The js is a simple date script I've been using for years.
Check out the formatting change after the upload with CS6 - This ONLY happens with CS6.

I have iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5). After copying my photos to an EHD my photos disappeared from iPhoto. Now when I open that library in iPhoto I can't access it. HELP!!

Following directions I found on the discussion groups, I moved (thought I was copying) my iPhoto library to an icon on my desktop Time Machine Backups which appeared after I connected my EHD. Went back to iPhoto to then trash the photos I didn't want on my IHD to free up space. There were no pictures. I have followed additional directions for accessing my library by opening iPhoto while holding down the option key. It then prompts me to choose a folder, I chose iPhoto Library 2 (as I named it) but my iPhoto was still empty.
My intention was to keep one calendar year of photos on iPhoto while archiving the rest on my EHD. Can I do that? And, more importantly, how do I get my photos back!!
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I moved (thought I was copying) my iPhoto library to an icon on my desktop Time Machine Backups
Do you mean that you moved your iPhoto Library package to the drive that housed your Time Machine backups? That is is the EHD you're referring to the one used for your Time Machine?
Are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
Click to view full size
How many EHDs do you have? What are they used for? You should not use the EHD that houses your Time Machine backups for any other purposes.
