Moving to IMAP - Trying to Understand Trash

Hi all,
I'm moving from POP to IMAP to keep things in better sync with my Gmail account, and discovering a few things I don't understand.
When I delete a message from my Mail inbox, it moves it from Gmail's inbox to, not the trash, but a folder called "deleted messages". I'm okay with this since I like to have a copy of everything in the cloud, and Gmail won't delete it if it's not in the trash. But does this mean I have to always keep those messages in my local trash, lest they be deleted permanently? Or do they just have to exits in the IMAP hierarchy it built? I somehow got rid of half the old messages on the server; is there any way to restore them there?
Thanks! I liked POP because it meant I never had to worry about anything server-side, knowing it would always be there if I needed it. Now I'm growing concerned!

IMAP syncs emails. If you remove it from the server it will be removed locally and vice versa. If you don't want to have them erased, map your local trash to that gmail folder you mentioned. When you "delete" an email, it will be actually moved to that folder. Then the only way to delete them would be to log on gmail's web site and move them to the gmail trash.

  • Trying to understand how iPhoto keeps track of pictures...

    I am trying to understand how iPhoto stores & organizes pictures.
    I moved JPEGs from a portable drive to my hard drive, set iPhoto's preferences to not copy pictures when importing them, then imported them. Unfortunately, all pictures from a certain import has duplicated in iPhoto.... so I "moved to trash" all pictures from that import and tried importing again since the JPEGs were still where I moved them to. When importing, it said they were duplicated .
    I am confused. If I "move to trash", I assumed it got rid of whatever index (and preview cache) to that particular JPEG. I was actually surprised it did not delete the actual JPEG but I'm ok with that.
    Can someone help explain this behavior?
    Thanks
    -Ed

    iPhoto is a relational database program
    In the strongly recommended managed library (you have chosen to ignore this recommendation and use a referenced library) imported photos are copied to the iPhoto library and stored in the originals folder, a thumbnail jPEG is created and places in the data folder and when any modification is made (including autorotation) a modified version of the photo is created and placed in the modified folder. iPhoto updates its database entries to reflect everything it does.
    It is critical that you do not make any modifications of any sort to the content or structure of the iPhoto library - doing so is likely to corrupt the library and cause you to lose data.
    When you use the referenced mode which you are doing (and which is not recommended) you are taking total responsibility for the original photos which included not moving or modifying them while iPhoto is referencing them
    Unfortunately, all pictures from a certain import has duplicated in iPhoto.... so I "moved to trash" all pictures from that import
    Did you do this with the iPhoto trash? or did you use the finder to modify the contents of the iPhoto library.
    If I "move to trash", I assumed it got rid of whatever index (and preview cache) to that particular JPEG. I was actually surprised it did not delete the actual JPEG but I'm ok with that.
    again - iPhoto trash or finder trash. If you move a photo to the iPhoto trash and empty it all traces of that photo in the iPhoto library will be removed - nothing will be done to any file outside of the iPhoto library -- ever

  • I used a third party programme called Mackeeper UGHHH,it moved loads of files to the trash now i do not know where they originally came from or belong!! the put back option is in grey??how can i manually put these files back where they belong?SO upset!!

    I used a third party programme called Mackeeper UGHHH SOOO Stupid i know,it moved loads of files to the trash now i do not know where they originally came from or belong!! the put back option is in grey??and will not work even when i highlight one by one!!
    how can i manually put these files back where they belong?
    i know i should have used time machine but i have not set it up and its too late for that now
    i have been researching and racking my brain on how to put these folders and contents of them back to where they once were all of the contents of the folder are still in tact AND i have not emptied my trash,my programmes and some of my apps are not working properly now...i use my computer alot for making music and things are jumbled up now...
    is there anyone out there who knows the answer to my prayers on how to go about putting these folders/files back to where they came from to restore functionality to my mac..Yes and thank u if u were going to tell me i HAVE un installed mackeeper...A very sad and upset Mac user!! Cheers Shane

    hello there thank u so much for ur reply!! ok i uninstalled mackeeper now and the put back option is still in grey im so confused...i tried restarting my computer like u said and put back still in grey??!! the files that are in my trash are everything from Accounts,address book plug-ins,address book,adobe,aim.........then stuff like apple,Audio,....to caches color pickers,colors,com.apple.TCC,to DVD player to facebook,google to ilifemedia browser to itunes to keychains to movie effects,preferences printers to skype...my Native instruments files BUT not all of them my garage band but not all of it...it seriously looks like my whole library is in the trash i tried to put things back where i THINK they belong and it just added the item or folder under where i thought it went and didnt restore functionality to for instance google chrome and all my book marks are there....they seem to be only certain things from my library that would have added some functionality to apps and programmes like my garageband is missing stuff photobooth wont work so on.......kinda looks a bit like this thats only the half of it!! Cheers shane!!!

  • Trying to Understand Color Management

    The title should have read, "Trying to Understand Color Management: ProPhoto RGB vs, Adobe RGB (1998) my monitor, a printer and everything in between." Actually I could not come up with a title short enough to describe my question and even this one is not too good. Here goes: The more I read about Color Management the more I understand but also the more I get confused so I thouht the best way for me to understnand is perhaps for me to ask the question my way for my situation.
    I do not own an expensve monitor, I'd say middle of the road. It is not calibrated by hardware or any sophisticated method. I use a simple software and that's it. As to my printer it isn't even a proper Photo filter. My editing of photos is mainly for myself--people either view my photos on the net or on my monitor. At times I print photos on my printer and at times I print them at a Print Shop. My philosophy is this. I am aware that what I see on my monitor may not look the same on someone else's monitor, and though I would definitely like if it it were possible, it doesn't bother me that much. What I do care about is for my photos to come close enough to what I want them to be on print. In other words when the time comes for me to get the best colors possible from a print. Note here that I am not even that concerned with color accuracy (My monitor colors equalling print colors since I know I would need a much better monitor and a calibrated one to do so--accurately compare) but more rather concerned with color detail. What concerns me, is come that day when I do need to make a good print (or afford a good monitor/printer) then I have as much to work with as possible. This leads me to think that therefore working with ProPhoto RGB is the best method to work with and then scale down according to needs (scale down for web viewing for example). So I thought was the solution, but elsewhere I read that using ProPhoto RGB with a non-pro monitor like mine may actually works against me, hence me getting confused, not understanding why this would be so and me coming here. My goal, my objective is this: Should I one day want to print large images to present to a gallery or create a book of my own then I want my photos at that point in time to be the best they can be--the present doesn't worry me much .Do I make any sense?
    BTW if it matters any I have CS6.

    To all of you thanks.                              First off yes, I now have begun shooting in RAW. As to my future being secure because of me doing so let me just say that once I work on a photo I don't like the idea of going back to the original since hours may have been spent working on it and once having done so the original raw is deleted--a tiff or psd remains. As to, "You 're using way too much club for your hole right now."  I loved reading this sentence :-) You wanna elaborate? As to the rest, monitor/printer. Here's the story: I move aroud alot, and I mean a lot in other words I may be here for 6 months and then move and 6 months later move again. What this means is that a printer does not follow me, at times even my monitor will not follow me so no printer calbration is ever taken into consideration but yes I have used software monitor calibration. Having said this I must admit that time and again I have not seen any really noticeale difference (yes i have but only ever so slight) after calibrating a monitor (As mentioned my monitors, because of my moving are usually middle of the road and limited one thing I know is that 32bits per pixel is a good thing).  As to, "At this point ....you.....really don't understand what you are doing." You are correct--absolutely-- that is why I mentioned me doing a lot of reading etc. etc. Thanks for you link btw.
    Among the things I am reading are, "Color Confidence  Digital Photogs Guide to Color Management", "Color Management for Photographers -Hands on Techniques for Photoshop Users", "Mastering Digital Printing - Digital Process and Print Series" and "Real World Color Management - Industrial Strength Production Techniques" And just to show you how deep my ignorance still is, What did you mean by 'non-profiled display' or better still how does one profile a display?

  • Trying to understand "User/Role/Profile Synchronization" and Batch Analysis

    Hello,
    Im trying to understand what exactly and from which tables these jobs are copying to which tables in CC. I have a understanding that these jobs are moving also deleted roles from backend. This is causing unnecessary delay to long lasting job. 
    I would appreasite if some one could explain the logic behind these jobs. What the fullsync and incremental is reading ? What kind of changes are causing a role/user/profile  to be included to the full and incremental jobs?
    How the incremental analysis logic is built ?
    br Janne

    Janne,
    In my current implementation we are going for an offline risk analysis due to the heteregoneus system landscape of our client (several SAP and non SAP systems and several SAP systems under 4.6C). Eventhough within our approach we don't perfrom the backend synchronization (we use CC data extractor to pull data from backend into CC) hope the following info could hel you:
    The tables such jobs you mention access to, are all the SAP backend system tables related with users, roles, profiles, action and permissions. If you check the data mapping appendix of the "user and configuration guide for 5.2" you will see all the data that CC retrieves. For instance, in order to extract user info (UserID, FName, LName, Email, Phone, Email, Department) tables USR21, USR02, ADRP, ADR6 and ADCP must be accessed.
    In terms of CC tables:
    VIRSA_CC_SYSUSR >> UserIDs and Systems ID relationship
    VIRSA_CC_GENOBJ >> User, Role and Profile master data
    VIRSA_CC_GENACT >> User-action, role-action and profile-action data
    VIRSA_CC_GENPRM >> User-permission, role-permission and profile-permission
    VIRSA_CC_SAPOBJ >> Action-permission
    VIRSA_CC_OBJTEXT >> Objects descripcions (ACT, PRM, FLD, VAL, ORG)
    Hope this helps.

  • Mac newbie trying to understand

    I haven't learned to think in Mac yet. I'm trying to understand what actually happens to the files that I have imported from my memory card into iphoto and then exported to another folder on my hard drive for use in other applications or on a Windows PC. Are the files moved from the iphoto library and then tracked in iphoto or are they copied to the new folder thus creating two copies on the hard drive? Any of the above?
    I am trying to avoid creating duplicates of the originals in order to save space and would like to understand this before I go much further and wind up with a huge mess. I'm thinking maybe I should use image capture to get the photos from the card to a folder and then import into iphoto so the originals would be more readily available for burning cds/dvds for use use in Windows as I will be doing that a lot. How would that work?
    That's probably about as clear as mud. Anybody understand and can educate me? By the way, love my iMac.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    And welcome to the Mac
    while you will find the Mac very intuitive and easy to use it is different from a PC and there is a learning curve - the Apple tutorials are very helpful - see the right hand column for a list by major topic - http://www.apple.com/startpage/
    I'm trying to understand what actually happens to the files that I have imported from my memory card into iphoto and then exported to another folder on my hard drive for use in other applications or on a Windows PC. Are the files moved from the iphoto library
    By default (and strongly recommended) the imported photos are copied to the iPhoto library -- there is an option not to do this but it can be extremely problematic and unless you are a very experienced user it is strongly recommended that you use the default of copying all imported photos to the iPhoto library
    and then tracked in iphoto
    Yes - by default
    or are they copied to the new folder thus creating two copies on the hard drive?
    The original is left alone unless you choose to have iPhoto delete the photos form the camera after importing (it is best not to have iPhoto do this but to use the camera to reformat the card once everything is firmly in iPhoto and the camera is properly disconnected. Once you have imported the photos to iPhoto you can delete the original that is outside of iPhoto
    I am trying to avoid creating duplicates of the originals in order to save space and would like to understand this before I go much further and wind up with a huge mess. I'm thinking maybe I should use image capture to get the photos from the card to a folder and then import into iphoto so the originals would be more readily available for burning cds/dvds for use use in Windows as I will be doing that a lot. How would that work?
    This will create two copies of each original and is unnecessary - it is better to export the photos you want to use and delete the exported versions after you use them.

  • Hello, World - trying to understand the steps

    Hello, Experts!
    I am pretty new to Flash Development, so I am trying to understand how to implement the following steps using Flash environment
    http://pdfdevjunkie.host.adobe.com/00_helloWorld.shtml         
    Step 1: Create the top level object. Use a "Module" rather than an "Application" and implement the "acrobat.collection.INavigator" interface. The INavigator interface enables the initial hand shake with the Acrobat ActionScript API. Its only member is the set host function, which your application implements. During the initialize cycle, the Acrobat ActionScript API invokes your set host function. Your set host function then initializes itself, can add event listeners, and performs other setup tasks.Your code might look something like this.
    <mx:Module xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" implements="acrobat.collection.INavigator" height="100%" width="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
    Step 2: Create your user interface elements. In this example, I'm using a "DataGrid" which is overkill for a simple list but I'm going to expand on this example in the future. Also notice that I'm using "fileName" in the dataField. The "fileName" is a property of an item in the PDF Portfolio "items" collection. Later when we set the dataProvider of the DataGrid, the grid will fill with the fileNames of the files in the Portfolio.
    <mx:DataGrid id="itemList" initialize="onInitialize()" width="350" rowCount="12"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="fileName" headerText="Name"/> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid>
    Step 3: Respond to the "initialize" event during the creation of your interface components. This is important because there is no coordination of the Flash Player's initialization of your UI components and the set host(), so these two important milestone events in your Navigator's startup phase could occur in either order. The gist of a good way to handler this race condition is to have both your INavigator.set host() implementation and your initialize() or creationComplete() handler both funnel into a common function that starts interacting with the collection only after you have a non-null host and an initialized UI. You'll see in the code samples below and in step 4, both events funnel into the "startEverything()" function. I'll duscuss that function in the 5th step.
                   private function onInitialize():void { _listInitialized = true; startEverything(); }

  • Trying to understand Android OS updates delays

    This is not another hate mail, it´s more about trying to understand the facts and motives regarding the OS updates (or lack of).
    Hopefully this material will arrive at someone from Sony with enough power to do something about it.
    Ever since I can remember, Sony has been THE brand for electronics. I can´t remember a TV or VCR in my house that it wasn´t Sony, and they lasted for LOTS of years.
    When a couple years ago I finally had the money (and the need) for a Smartphone, i chose the X10 Mini, which is a great little phone from a great brand, but it´s stuck at Android 2.1... which makes it a crippled android nowadays...
    It really bothered me the lack of OS updates, so I chose to buy a Galaxy Nexus, but it´s really expensive in my country. So my second option was a Galaxy Ace 2, but they haven´t arrived to my country yet, so I went with my third option: Xperia Sola, knowing beforehand that it´s a great phone, a great brand, but I might get slow OS updates.
    I bought it about 10 days ago when I saw they were starting to roll out the updates.
    10 days later I still don´t have my update. And not only that, but I don´t see much light at the end of the tunnel...
    I found a thread with the SI numbers that were updated, and there were a bunch on Oct 1, another bunch on Oct 4, and one code on Oct 8, and no other update since...
    I also read that those who did get the update, were having bugs with the OS, and also found threads from other Xperia models, whose updates began rolling 3 months ago, and there is still people who hasn´t gotten the update...
    As a customer, and a owner/CEO of a small company, I have a really hard time understanding how a HUGE company like Sony can be making such mistakes...
    I have been thinking objective reasons, and I can only think of one. I know it´s a wild guess, but I´m starting to think that our salvation might be the very thing that means our condemnation: CYANOGENMOD!!!
    Think about it: Why would Sony spend more money hiring twice as much programmers, when they can make only one update per phone, and sit down and see how CM releases begin to appear, for all tastes and needs. And... IT´s FREE!!!
    Also, if there is a software related problem (way more likely than a hardware problem), then the CM developers take the fall, instead of Sony. And I´m beginning to see custom OS installers that are more user friendly, so it might be something that they take in accout when neglecting OS updates.
    If that´s the line Sony is following, it´s a very risky move and it won´t work. Sony Mobile will crash and burn, but it´s still a better business plan that "let´s get lazy and make ULTRA slow updates so we don´t spend a lot of money programming".
    If you can´t afford more programmers, stop including so much bells and whistles and make your OS near vanilla. Include a couple of Xperia menus, a custom theme and voila!
    The main reason I wanted the Galaxy Nexus is Vanilla OS, which means inmediate OS updates. Sony on the other hand, takes a year or two to release it after its launch. If they release it at all...
    Another though...  why not stop making that many different phones! Really! There are like 5 Xperia models i can´t tell one from the other... even with specs side by side!
    You are trying to make too many phones and you are failing with all of them! (Software and software updates are also part of the phone, one of the most importants...)
    I know hiring programmers is expensive, but you are sacrificing one of the most expensive values for a company EVER: Customer credibility! Which as you know better than me, takes years to create.
    If Apple had problems with carriers and code aprooving and stuff, they might get away with it, becouse they alone have all the devices. If iOS 6 is delayed a few months, it´s delayed for everyone, and besides Apple fanboys rarely complain about Mac products, but Android is a more independent and educated market.
    I´m not saying that Apple users are ignorant, not at all, but I´m pretty sure most iPhone owners don´t even know what processor or how much RAM their phone has. They just "swallow" the Apple Way of Life. (it´s a good phone becouse Apple says so).
    The Android user on the other side, because of the fragmentation of the market, has many brands and models to choose from. An Android user about to buy a new phone will most likely go online looking for different models, specs, reviews in webs and forums...etc.
    You can´t say "I don´t know how HTC and other companies get their updates so soon, but we take a lot more becouse Google and the Operators must aproove the code.", because there are many other brands that have exactly the same difficulties or more, since they are smaller, and we can SEE online that they are indeed delivering solid and relativly fast updates.
    Did we miss something? Does HTC use Witchcraft to get their code aprooved?
    My underlying point is this: You are getting lazy... VERY lazy with software programming for your phones, and WE KNOW IT!
    It´s not the "difficulties" you claim, becouse every brand has those difficulties.
    This isn´t 1999 you know. We are in the information age. If you lie to us and tell us that your phones have the latest OS, I can go online and see that you don´t (Hello!!!). If I see that the company lies to it´s customers, I will stop buying their products. If I´m so dissapointed with how Sony handles OS updates and their customers queries about it, then I want for the first time ever to sell my Cell Phone becouse I´m not happy with it, or the brand behind it.
    We also live in the "Here and now" age. You can´t expect your customers to read about new Android releases on news and blogs, and wait YEARS with arms crossed waiting for their update... The world doesn´t work like that. Not anymore at least...
    It´s not a matter of how many recources you have, it´s about how you use and balance them. GIVE MORE IMPORTANCE TO SOFTWARE UPDATES! IT´S WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAT YOU THINK! LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!
    You guys are Sony are smart and design great products, but you are not GOD! You are not our wife, no one has sworn alliagence to you.
    If you stop giving us good products and start lying to us, we hate you and stop giving you our money. Simple as that.
    My sola is beatiful, I love the design, the screen, the hardware... but it hasn´t been updated yet to 4.0, not to mention 4.1, which REALLY is the latest version... so stop advertising that your phones have the latest Android OS, unless you want angry customers switching to other companies, which you are getting.
    I also read some stories that Androind 4.0 was announced for the Xperia PLAY, and then it was called off... Do you have any idea how pissed I would be and ripped off I would be if I bought my phone based in that information and then you say it won´t be available?
    Well, actually right now my possition is worse, since you SAY you will update my phone, but you don´t say when, and I read online about people still not getting their updates months after the rollout started, so I´m in the limbo right now...
    As a company, one of the worse things you can do is calling your customers stupid, and when I see the answers you give in this forum, then I feel insulted. I feel like they are talking to an idiot or ignorant person with the so called "diplomatic" answers, which are basicly empty excuses for not doing your job right.
    You gave us the frikking CDs, DVDs and Blu-Rays!!! Don´t tell us you can´t tweak an already built OS in a year!
    I really hope you change their OS update policies really soon, before you lose the already small cellphone market share you have, or at least change your P.R. and C.M. policies towards a more open one.
    We all are humans and make mistakes, but we customers really appreciate honesty and truth.
    Have an open conversation with your customers! Don´t lie about your shortcomings! Accept then and ask the community to help you solve them, ask them what they biggest problems are, what features are most important to them, how often do they expect updates... LISTEN TO THEM!!
    "Succes is a meneace. It tricks smart people into thinking they can´t lose."
    Ps: Nothing personal with the mods from this forum, I´m not killing the messenger, I know that you can ONLY give the info you are allowed to give, and even if you wanted, you probably don´t know the answers yourself, since you work in the Communications department, not Developement or anything technical, and if you can't give any given info, then they probably won´t give it to you either... My message is to the company as a whole. I just hope you will be a good messenger and give this to whoever needs to read it.

    My bad, it´s closer to 40 the number of phones released hehe
    I know it´s all about money, and I know Sony is obligated to neglect users who haven´t given them money after an x ammount of time. However, it´s not a matter of making the phones obsolete earlier, so the users want to buy a new phone faster and therefore getting more money.
    A person will buy a new phone when he/she has the money to do so and wants to do so.
    It´s not a matter of WHEN. It´s a matter of WHAT.
    The question is not "When will that user buy a new phone?", but rather "When that user buys a new phone, whenever that is, what phone will it be?"
    I have a love/hate relationship with Apple. I would never use a iPhone. I would love having any Mac, if someone gives it to me, but I would never spend my harn earned dollars on such an overpriced piece of hardware over general principals.
    However, i do recognice that Steve Jobs was a business genius. Weather you like or love his ideas and methods, he turned a garage project into the biggest company in the world, with a market value higher than Exxon with 1/3 of it´s assets.
    Apple is a money making machine, and that is where the "hate" part of my relationship comes from.
    However, it surprised me a lot to see that they released iOS 6 for the iPhone 3GS, released in 2008!
    That get´s you thinking, that inside all that "SELL NOW" culture Apple is, they also support their older devices that people bought years ago but can't buy a new phone now. However, when they can do it, it will surely be another iPhone. Because they FEEL that the company listens and cares for them.
    Also if you jump from iOS 6 on the 3 GS to a brand new iPhone 5, the transition will be virtually non-existant, except for Siri and a couple of features.
    However jumping from Android 1.5 or 2.1 to Jelly Bean, might not be so easy on some users, making them more likely to give iPhone a shot.
    Since they have to adapt to another phone anyway, they might as well try the apple...
    And for old users, it gives people a sense of continuity and care about the user. Otherwise we feel like being kicked out of a restaurant right after we payed the bill.

  • Trying to understand OIM - Please help

    Hello All,
    I am pretty new to OIM, just trying to understand how OIM works. For the past 4 years I was in Sun IdM and planning to switch over to OIM.
    I read some documentation, I think OIM will perform basic provisioning and it contains out of box connectors to do basic provisoning. I have some questions can anybody please help
    - Sun IdM uses Express language to develop custom workflows or forms, in OIM to develop workflows which language did you use, is it Java or any other language?
    - If I want to provision users on AS/400, HP Open VMS or AIX systems, how can I do that I don't see any out of box connectors for these resources, so in order to integrate these resources do we need to write our own custom connectors?
    - If the out of box connector does not support a specific function on a resource what are the options do we have? for example if the AD connector does not support to delete the exchange mailbox, how your going to perform this in OIM? Do we need to write a Java code for this?
    - How much Java coding is necessary in OIM?
    - Is OIM supports role based provisioning?
    Please share any information.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sun IdM uses Express language to develop custom workflows or forms, in OIM to develop workflows which language did you use, is it Java or any other language?
    - JAVA
    If I want to provision users on AS/400, HP Open VMS or AIX systems, how can I do that I don't see any out of box connectors for these resources, so in order to integrate these resources do we need to write our own custom connectors?
    - If OOTB connectors are not available then you'll have build you own connector as per Target Resource.
    If the out of box connector does not support a specific function on a resource what are the options do we have?
    - You'll have customize their connector as per your requirements or write your own
    How much Java coding is necessary in OIM?
    - We can't calculate how much java. It's totally depends on requirements how much code you'll ahve to write. But everything will be done using Java only.
    - Is OIM supports role based provisioning?
    Here Group represent Role. At a small scale it supports. But for large scale you'll have to use Oracle Role Manager as you do in Sun Role Manager.

  • Trying to understand, being prompted the file compression rules on saving, or not

    Hello,
    I'm trying to understand something, could I ask for your help, please ?
    After working on a jpg file, when I want to save it, still as jpg, with my Photoshop CS5,
    - sometimes photoshop will just save the picture, and it's done
    - sometimes photoshop will show me the compression dialog, "JPEG Options", in which I can choose the compression ratio, the format options (baseline, baseline optimized, progressive), and have an estimation of the total file size
    While not being prompted any dialog is simpler, and I'll then simply assume Photoshop decides to retain the current image's compression and format rules, I must say I like to be in control, and I'd like to know under what form the file is being saved without having to resort to the much more complex "Save For Web" menu.
    Please, would you know WHAT "triggers" the appearance of the JPEG Options when we close/save a jpeg file, in photoshop ? What makes this menu not to appear, what makes it appear ?
    If there are trivial file operations/changes/filters that necessarily trigger its appearance when we want to save, something like that ? I've tried a variety of these, but I still can't figure it out, sometimes it shows in the end, and sometimes it doesn't.
    Thank you very much if you can help me
    Kind regards,
    Oliver

    @ c.pfaffenbichler
    These are images from various sources, not just one.
    I'm deliberately excluding Save For Web, this completely re-processes everything.
    My purpose, precisely, is to know when photoshop takes the decision to retain the image's "rules", and when photoshop decides to pose us the question, how do we want it saved.
    Simply taking a jpeg image, doing stuff on it, and hitting control-w to close the window, and seeing if it will be an
    - «OK, sure, do you want to save ? You clicked OK to confirm you wanted the changes saved ? Good, now it's closed» or a
    - «please sir, how would you like your image saved, tell me the compression ratio and the format options, thank you»

  • UTL_HTTP.end_of_body Exception Error.  Trying to Understand the Reason Why?

    I have the following PLSQL Function that returns a End_of_body Error. This started when we migrated from 10g to 11g. It is simple enough to capture so the error does not stop the Function Flow, but the error causes the OCI driver in OBIEE to error, which prevents the use of OBIEE IBOT to execute. Trying to understand why this error is occurring..not sure if we have a permissions issue on the UTL_HTTP Package or what?
    Anyone seen this problem in 11g? Suggests on resolving would be great. Thanks.

  • [SOLVED] Trying to understand the "size on disk" concept

    Hi all,
    I was trying to understand the difference between "size" and "size on disk".
    A google search gave plenty of results and I thought I got a clear idea about
    it.. All data is stored in small chunks of a fixed size depending on the
    filesystem and the last chunk is going to have some wasted space which
    will *have* to be allocated.. Thus the extra space on disk.
    However I'm still confused.. When I look at my home folder, the size on disk
    is more than 320 GB, where as my partition is actually less than 80 GB, so
    I guess I'm missing something.. Could somebody explain to me what does
    320 GB of 'size on disk' means?
    Thanks a lot in advance..

    Hi all,
    Thank you for your replies.. My file manager is indeed pcman fm and
    indeed it seems to be an issue.. In b4data's link the last post reads:
    B-Con wrote:
    FWIW, I found the problem. (This bug is still persistent in v0.9.9.)
    My (new) PCManFM bug report is here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph … tid=801864
    I submitted a potential patch here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de … tid=801866
    Bottom line is that the file's block size and block count data from the file's inode wasn't being interpreted and used properly. The bug is in PCManFM, not any dependent libraries. Details are in the bug report.
    Since PCManFM is highly used by the Arch community, I figured I should post an update here so that there's some record of it in our community. Hopefully this gets addressed by the developer(s) relatively soon. :-)
    I guess that pretty much explains things.. And I think I did understand the 'size on disk' concept
    anyway
    Thanks again!
