Multiple copy in the same layer (was: Texts)

Hi all,
I'd like to know if there is a way to quickly copy multiple times the same word in the same layer
So if i want to make a sun through a word i will make something like this
sun
sunsunsun
sun
In photoshop for example i can create a text brush (in After Effects i can't, right?) and i can make the same in Flash CS6 (using the 3d brush) but it slows down the program
So how can i solve this problem?
- It should not be "heavy"
- I would like to have total control of what i can make (like what i can make using Photoshop brushes and Flash 3d brush tool)

Consider using a topic with durable subscriptions rather than queues to
          accomplish the duplicate forwards. This would be higher performing.
          If you then use the BEA messaging bridge to forward from the queue to the topic
          no application code is required.
          On another note, if the message copy must be atomic (all or nothing) use a
          transactional MDB
          to encase the receive and the duplicate sends in one tx. Otherwise a crash
          may lead to a partial copy, and it will be hard for your app to determine
          who received what already, causing lost messages and/or duplicates...

Is there a way to add multiple outlines on the same layer?

Hi there! I'm trying to add an outline to text or objects through the style fx, then I want to add more outlines. It would be nice if you could just add a new stroke like in illustrator. I don't want copy the layer and just do a thicker outline behind it, the point is to have it all on the same layer .. just wondering if thats possible. Thanks!

You have been given two approaches which may meet your needs. There is another way that offers independent control of the styles, but you do use multiple layers.
Assume you have a path that defines your object and lets say you want to apply three different styles and have independent and ongoing control over each. Create a new blank layer for each style. On each of those layers apply a brush stroke to the path, say a 1 pixel stroke whose color is also the background color as an example. Now on each of those layers apply your chosen layer styles. That is what I have done in this example:

Multiple Tweens on the same Layer?

Is it okay to have more than one new-style tween on the same layer?
I seem to remember reading that you shouldn't do it.
I was mad at Flash CS4 and CS5 because I wasn't able to make the animation work like After Effects, as far as animating something, having it rest, and then animating it again. I know you can do this already, however, if you add easing you could mess yourself up as the ease gets applied to the entire tween. I wanted to be able to tween something with an ease, then let it rest, then tween it again, again with an ease.
Tonight I discovered this: Place CTI over last frame of first tween, select object, copy. Go to next "slot" and Insert Blank Keyframe, then Paste in Place the object. Make some more frames. Then after it all make a New Keyframe (content from preceeding keyframe gets copied into it, then add more frames, select them and Make Tween. I now have 2 tweens on the same layer, each with their own easing that can't get stretched out of place.
However, when I did this I noticed, before making the second tween, that I was not able to just click the object and Make Tween from there. I had to actually make regular frames and convert them. This isn't normal. So, I'm just wondering if I got this to work through some loophole in CS5's code or if this is normal?

APP that will copy to multiple destinations at the same time?

Is there an APP that will copy folders to multiple destinations at the same time?
I'm copying like 16GBs at a time.. And would like to write to 2 separate destinations at once. SPEED is very important. A verify function would be very nice...
Tx..
Joe

This can be easily accomplished using Automator. Create a new Automator Files/Folders action. Steps involved are 'Get Specific Finder Items' and 'Copy Finder Items'. Save this as a Finder Application. I have a few of these just for copying to multiple destinations at once.
Copy speeds are dependent only to the buses that the drives are connected to. If the drives are all on separate buses, copy speeds will be as fast as they can be.
Hope this helps.

Is there any version of Indesign that allows to open multiple instance at the same time

I am using Indesign CS3 to generate the bulk reports automatically(programmatically) using Adobe indesign library . One of the key limitation to this tool is it allows to open only one instance at a time unlike word where multiple instances can be opened at the same time. Is there any adobe indesign too version desktop/server which allows to open multiple instances at the same time. Any help on is appreciated. Thanks.

@PeterG
You said "You might want to examine the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) for any prohibition against using these two instances at the same time with the same license; the license does permit two installs for the same user that are not used simultaneously." I thought that meant you had read the EULA. It's pretty unambiguous on that point.
For everyone's edification about multiple installations and server use with a standard license here's the relevant text:
2. Software License.

A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers. I downloaded latest version. Any ideas??

A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers. I downloaded latest version & no change. Any ideas??

ME TOO.
I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
* movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
* for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
* Items are showing up multiple times.
* A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
* Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
* Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.

Multiple consumers of the same Queue

In the past my use of JMS queues has been limited to a single message producer and a single consumer. I am now looking at having multiple copies of the same consumer running for load balancing and failover purposes, and this leads me to what I think is a basic question. BTW, we're running OpenMQ 4.4u1.
I have messages being produced and saved in a single queue.
I then have a consumer program whose logic is something like this:
1. Create session with no transaction and CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE.
2. Receive message from queue.
3. Do some processing with message. Repeat processing attempts multiple times, if needed, until successful.
4. Once processing is successful, acknowledge message.
Assume that I am running multiple copies of the consumer in separate JVMs (or on separate servers, for that matter).
Here are my related questions.
1. If step 3 takes a long time (e.g., several minutes) can I be sure that only one instance of the consumer will receive the message?
2. If a consumer is in step 3 and a catastrophic failure occurs (e.g., the JVM or server it is running on crashes) the message will never be acknowledged, but the session will not be shut down in an orderly fashion, either. Will the message that was received but never acknowledged eventually be delivered to another copy of the consumer?
3. If step three takes a very long time (hours or days, rather than minutes), will the broker misinterpret this as a failure of the consumer and deliver the same message to another one of the consumers?
Thank you for reading and/or responding to this question.
Bill

1. If step 3 takes a long time (e.g., several minutes) can I be sure that only one instance of the consumer will receive the message?A queue message will only be delivered and consumed by 1 consumer.
2. If a consumer is in step 3 and a catastrophic failure occurs (e.g., the JVM or server it is running on crashes) the message will never be acknowledged, but the session will not be shut down in an orderly fashion, either. Will the message that was received but never acknowledged eventually be delivered to another copy of the consumer?Yes.
3. If step three takes a very long time (hours or days, rather than minutes), will the broker misinterpret this as a failure of the consumer and deliver the same message to another one of the consumers?No, as long as the consumer's Session or Connection are intact

Multiple copies of the same picture

I am using iPhoto 8 with OS X 10.5.3. I have very little HD space available and need to clean up a very messy iPhoto library. I began by opening iPhoto and finding multiple duplicates of the same photos. I moved them to the TRASH and deleted them within iPhoto. However, when I reopen iPhoto, they are still there. When I use spotlight to look for where the copies are I will find them in a variety of locations: iPhotoLibrary/Originals or iPhotoLibrary/Data, or in iPhotoLibrary/(a folder that I made up, for example, a year the picture was taken. I want to trash all the duplicates, but I am not sure what the best way is to find the duplicates and then to select which one to keep.

To add a twist to Terence's directions on getting just your original files out and imported into a new library. Open the library and COPY the Originals folder out of the library. Open the Originals folder and do a search of it (Command-F) and search for images less than 1MB. Drag those found to the Trash in the dock.
Now launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select Create a new library. When it's open drag the Original folder sans smaller files into the open iPhoto window. This will give you the same Events that you had in your earlier library. Might save you some organizational effort. Good luck.
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.

Can I open multiple copies of the same book?

I am reading a more technical book. It would be helpful to have multiple pages opened at the same time (for the purpose of reference)
Is it possible to open more than one copy of the same book?
I know that I can open the book on my iPad or iPhone, but I would like to open them both on my Mac.

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

How do you add multiple effects to the same clip

How do you had multiple effects to the same clip. I have tried for hours
I would like to add sepia and aged movie to the same clip. I heard it can be done, but have not figured out how to do it.
anyone please.

Normally you can apply only one video effect at a time. But for Sepia, black and white, and others that can be done through the video Adjustments tab, you are in luck.
Aged Movie should already have a bit of a sepia tone.
If you want more of a sepia tone or you want to fine tune the sepia effect you can do it with the Clip Inspector/Video Adjustments tab.
Note: Thanks to Jeff Carlson of MacWorld for this tip.
If you're looking for a washed-out sepia appearance, first open iMovie's preferences and turn on the Show Advanced Tools option, which adds more controls to the Video Adjustments HUD and other areas of the program. Select the clip you want to alter and press the V key. Set Saturation to 0 percent, and then drag the Red Gain slider to 143 percent, the Green Gain slider to 90 percent, and the Blue Gain slider to 53 percent (feel free to tweak these settings to customize the results). Click on Done when you're finished. Note that the clip thumbnail still appears in color, as the video was shot, but the preview reflects your changes.--JC
If you need to apply the same settings to all clips, first select the clip you have adjusted. Then Edit/Copy. Then Edit/Select All. Then Edit/Paste Adjustments.

How to delete multiple versions of the same song file?

I recently moved my iTunes music file to an external hard drive, and for some reason, it took iTunes a few tries before it recognized the new location of my music (I had to change the location in the preferences a few times because it kept changing itself back...?) So I ended up with those infamous exclamation points next to all of my songs because iTunes couldn't find any of the files.
I ended up just deleting my entire library and re-adding it to try and solve the problem, but somehow, in the process, iTunes made (sometimes multiple) copies of almost everything. The weirdest part of this is that most of the albums have 3 copies of everything, a few have four (?!), and some did not get copied at all.
There has to be an easy way to consolidate and delete mutiple versions of the same file, but how? I have tried everything I can think of. The "consolidate library" function tells me it is going to copy everything again (how is that "consolidating"?)
I have 15GB of music and do not want to go through and delete thousands of songs manually.
HELP!

This doesn't quite work as it displays all of the tracks that have been duplicated, including the originals, meaning I would delete all of the copies and no longer have those songs, or still have to go in manually for everything.
I also tried displaying the date added for everything, hoping iTunes had made the copies on different days, but everything was added and copied on the same day, so I wasn't able to differentiate the files that way, either.
HELP!

Free Transform multiple layers at the same time (only selected part)

Hi,
i have two layers - one contains color and second one contains outline. I want to select a part of the image and free transform both the layers at the same time. (so when i for example move or rotate the selected part of my example, both the color and outline moves at the same time). Layers must stay separated, process must be sort of quick, i would love to use this all the time when drawing etc.
- Only way i managed to make this somewhat happen was to select the desired part of the image -> save the selection -> new layer via copy (on first layer) -> reselect the saved selection -> new layer via copy (on the second layer) -> select both of the new layers -> free transform. Warp doesnt work but other transforms do. But still this process is too slow and distracting even when having all the required commands hotkeyed. Is there a faster way?
Any tips are welcome!

@Trevor.Dennis
i did understand, but as i said ctrl clicking the new layer only selects visible pixels in it, and my layers dont cover the whole canvas, especially not the outline layer, so ctrl click will only select that noodle of pixels and thats not usable in the other layer. (doing selection in the other layer first isnt a solution)
Better description of what exactly im after:
im manually drawing characters and i keep the their black "ink" lines/outlines on separate layer from the color layer. From time to time i want to transform small part of the character, lets say warp or rotate just its leg to fix or iterate, but i want to transform both the outline and color layer at the same time with that rotation so i see realtime how it looks. I would use this all the time if it was doable quickly. Transforms and puppetwarp are so powerful when drawing that as last resort i will have to switch to drawing everything on single layer.

Events cannot have multiple exceptions for the same date

I just starting getting this message and could not sync to one of my Google calendars. I'm posting this for others who might get the same problem.
I didn't find the answer on these forums but did find it on this thread on Google:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=241155f758d9e2a4&hl=en
Here's the important excerpt:
"I had a client, who just had this same issue, nothing to do with Google cals.
It was apparently, in my best guess, a corruption of the subscribed cal.
*I did a get info on the cal, copied the URL, deleted the cal, then re-subscribed to it by pasting in the URL, and now it's working fine*."

I've been having the same problem with my iCal calendars and the "Events cannot have multiple exceptions for the same date" error. Once it gets going, it uses up a lot of the CPU and resources. After reinstalling iCal, all my calendars were missing and I could not even resubscribe to them.
I took my MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and they were able to solve the problem by moving some of the iCal files from their existing folders out to the desktop, and reopening the program. That got it working, however, now I'm having the same problem again. So back to square one. Anyone else having this issue and know the cause?
My setup is my MacBook Pro uses Entourage, use that calendar in my iCal. And I subscribe to two calendars my wife publishes on her Macbook. We're both using Snow Leopard.

Is it possible to upload multiple files at the same time?

Hi folks,
It seems pretty trivial to implement a file upload item, but is there some way to allow selection (upload) of multiple files at the same time? Seems like this has probably come up before, but I didn't find much for solutions in my search. Any links or insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!
-Adam vonNieda

Thank you both for your replies.
@Manish - That does allow for multiple file uploads without refreshing the page, but does not allow for multiple file uploads at the same time.
@Tony - That might be the way I end up going, although I probably should have been more specific. It would be really nice it there was a way to do a mutli-file select using the control or shift button like you can with a standard file selection dialog (if you want to copy multiple files, for example). Having a separate line for each file browser means there has to be a limit on the number that can be selected at the same time.
Has anyone implemented a method of selecting multiple files at once, and hitting an upload button once to get them into the database?
Thanks again Manish and Tony, very helpful.

Multiple entries for the same company.

Anybody out there have any idea how to enter multiple entries for the same company in Mail without having to enter all information every time for each individual. This was a very basic feature in MS Outlook. Possibly a workaround if not an option within Mail? Thanks.

Select a card with the details on it, and Edit/Copy /Edit/Paste (Command-C Command-V). Now edit one of the cards with the new individual's details. If starting from scratch, create a company card with no personal information and duplicate it as needed.
