  • The performance of management system with Java and MySQL

    Hi all,
    I want to develop one management application with Java and MySQL. However I am not sure which is a good way to design the system. The system has to deal with customers' data in the database.
    Should I create objects for every customers when application starts so that I do not need to access to the database often? Or
    Should I access to the database everytime the user want to deal with customer's data?
    Welcome for any suggestion.
    Thank you

  • Updating photo management strategy with add'l laptop?

    Hello -
    I have added a new MacBook Air to a set of computers - old MacBook, older iMac.  The iMac hard drive bit the dust earlier this year so it has a brand new 750 GB hard drive with Mavericks installed.  That's the background to wanting to updating my photo management / storage strategy now that I have an additional computer.
    I keep my iPhoto library on an external drive connected to my desktop (the iMac) and have since the beginning - that baby is about 350 GB and isn't updated b/c now I've had photos on the Macbook and don't want to get into the same habit with the new MB Air.  I take a lot of photos, decent amount of video but it's all personal, not my profession.  My camera shoots with 10 - 15 MB size per photo though, so it adds up.  I use SmugMug to share my photos (and online backup strategy) - the process on a good day is to pull the photos off my camera, do any editing, upload the ones I want to share to Smugmug, then save/store the originals.
    I'd like to consolidate now that I've got a new computer in the mix - and storage drives keep keep getting bigger and less expensive. ;-)
    My current thinking is to get a NEW big external storage drive and set it up to be ONLY a repository for photos and video.  I'd likely use that storage drive with a main iPhoto library (or whatever software I use) on the desktop, especially since it's now on an updated OS.
    What I'm debating is whether I should go with the larger storage of a desktop storage drive - or go with the portable with the largest storage capability just in case I *ever* want to take it and use it with the laptop (now or in the future)?
    Does that seem like a sound strategy?  Thoughts?  Thanks!
    P.S.  A good thing to add is that the iMac has only Firewire 800 available, unfortunately (and USB obviously).  The MacBook Air has thunderbolt.  If I use a Thunderbolt storage drive on the iMac it would need a converter (which I think will slow it down - but is that slower than the usual Firewire 800 speeds?)  If I use a Firewire 800 storage drive with the iMac, I'd need a converter if I went to use it with the Macbook Air - not ideal, but not going to happen very often. 

    1. You need two drives: one to hold the Photos and one to be a back up for that.
    2.
    What I'm debating is whether I should go with the larger storage of a desktop storage drive - or go with the portable with the largest storage capability just in case I *ever* want to take it and use it with the laptop (now or in the future)?
    Well, as you need both, I'd get one of each, and keep the portable outside the house - even in your car.
    SmugMug is excellent as off-site storage (as is Flickr) for your photos. But if whatever you choose to manage your apps has a library of any form, then you need to also back that up. And everything pretty much uses a Library - Picas, iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom etc  - of some form or other.
    The thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor will not make an appreciable difference in performance. But frankly, I'd go for USB, I'm not sure of the long term prospects for Firewire.

  • Photo management application with KISS metadata backend?

    what i'm looking for:
    a photo management application built around the concept of tags, which aims for efficiency in usage and a simple metadata backend:
    * allow non-destructive edits (keep original file easily available)
    * make it easy to launch editor from UI, maybe support some common operations out of the box like cropping and rotating. and allow me to hook in my own scripts (gqview is pretty good at this)
    * exif support (auto rotating etc)
    * provide GUI for easily mass-tagging pictures (one or more tags per picture referring to the location, the trip name, a person in the picture, ...). preferably i can use 1 keystroke to assign a tag to a picture; and also it should be possible to select a whole range of pictures and then apply a tag with minimal work (maybe some option where i can assign keys to tags so i can hit the key to assign the tag)
    * make it easy to generate albums from tags (i.e. all pictures with a certain tag), and at least exporting such album to a directory with files, possibly also to flickr/facebook. export option for things that don't support exif (i.e. strip exif and apply rotation information on the image)
    but most of all:
    * use simple things like symlinks; not databases. maybe integrate with git annex if that makes sense. (to manage originals vs modified versions).  i should be able to do a lot by just accessing the filesystem/in the shell

    Strike0 wrote:I lke the option you get with shotwell to write the tags directly to the image info (you can see them as "keyword" in nautilus even). Managing tags with the gui is relatively easy too. Plus you get plugins for flickr etc. I have not looked into exporting the tags again, but the reason I use it this way is to have the tagging portable (if needed).
    sounds ok, but i prefer to not modify the images themselves, that way it's easy to sync with different devices/people

  • Photo Management including captions online and print

    Looking at some software options for photo managing images along with the captions so it travels with the photos.
    Ideally we need the caption to upload to FlickR and for that caption to be importable to InDesign.
    I think Lightroom does this fairly well - but I've not used it.
    I'm aware I need Metadata for the captions. And I also need a program that inserts the metadata and can make online versions on the fly for uploading to photo services.
    Any experience by other users in this area?

    Hi Eugene,
    I think either lightroom or Aperture would fit the bill for your requirements, why not try any of the free 30 day trials available for both programs and see if they are suitable for you.

  • Creating a photo slide shome with music and text and export to dvd

    Hello I am a newbie on this so I would need a lot of help
    I would like to create a presentetion DVD for my town. The idea is a slide show of photos with some music and after a set of photos a screen with text displaying infos about the city or the sights. This will be in 2 languages.
    So my questions are:
    1. I live in europe, what my initial settings must be: PAL? Frame rates? Audio? Any other settings?
    2. I will import still images, what is the the prefered size? the original size or should I resized them to 760px?
    3. How can I import text in to my project?
    4. What is the best way to export it in order to view this on a TV using DVD device or in PC.
    Thanks in Advance
    Nikos

    Along with the excellent suggestions and links that Eddie provided you, there are some considerations for the "two languages," aspect. One way is to do two SlideShows, and alter the Titles for each one individually. This is the easier way, as it only involves changing your Titles by language.
    The better way is to use the Subtitles function in Encore. When setup properly, with the Subtitles scripted, this will allow the user to use a "Language Selection Menu" to choose the desired language. IIRC, you can have up to 6 different languages as Subtitles. You then only have to produce one DVD (it's also only one Project in PrPro), and the users can choose. There are several very important considerations that you should address early on, when using Subtitles. I don't know the ins-and-outs well enough to comment, but if you post HERE, and ask for info, you WILL be directed to all of the proper instructions. Do this BEFORE you get into production, as it will save tons of work, should you have to try to fix anything later.
    One tip: you will want your Exported Audio to be in either PCM/WAV, or AC3. These are the only DVD-standard Audio formats. MPEG-Audio is an "optional" format in PAL-land, but can be frought with problems. You still will need either the WAV, or the AC3 for your main Audio. Do not Export muxed files for Encore. It likes elemental streams best, i.e. one Audio-only file and one Video-only file. Muxed sources cause nothing but grief.
    For heavily Titled Projects, I use a wordprocessor and then bring the text into Photoshop (PS) to create my Titles. Titler is a good, and powerful tool, but it does not have some capabilities, like spell-checking. In PS, I do my layout and image editing, then Save my full, Layered file as a working .PSD. If I only need the "Flattened" version (if I am not going to animate any of the Layers), I'll flatten, and do a Save_As. This file is then Imported into PrPro.
    Note: if you do go the Subtitle in Encore route, you will need to do those Titles in a Subtitling program. Recommendations will come at the link above - The Encore>Subtitles forum. If you do the Subtitles, make sure that you use the proper Timecode delimiters - PAL is the colon ":" and not the semi-colon ";".
    Good luck with the Project, and do not forget to start with a post to the Encore>Subtitles forum. Those folk know their stuff. Pay special attention to anything that Jbowden or Neil Wilkes says, as they are both very good and offer sage advice.

  • Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

    A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
    Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
    On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
    To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
    1st: iWeb media center
    To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
    Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
    Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
    2nd: Drag and Drop
    I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
    As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
    Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.
    http://web.mac.com/phil_navarro/iWeb/Site%202/Drag%20and%20Drop%20test.html
    So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

    Jedi,
    Perhaps you are right.
    I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
    I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
    After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
    I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
    Now I have 2 questions:
    1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
    2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
    TIA,
    Narvon

  • Colour Management issue With Leopard and PS CS3

    Hi Everyone,
    Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
    My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
    Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
    Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    You need to use the correct printer profile for the paper you're using. If the printer didn't come with any pre-built profiles, check Canon's web site to see if they have any profiles available for your printer that you can download.
    Printer profiles are very specific. You can't take take a profile for glossy Epson paper and expect it to work very well for Canon glossy paper.

  • Need help managing bandwidth with a WRV210

    At our office there are two IT guys me and Chris. I use a desktop PC and Chris uses a laptop. We have a T3 line connected to a Linksys WRV210, which is updated to the latest firmware, and a small staff with about 8 desktop computers total. I started noticing that I was having issues downloading files from the internet. It would take sometimes 30 minutes to download a 5mb driver file. Come back after lunch the same file would download in 3 minutes. Also during certain times of the day I could do a bandwidth test and it might show high and then later it would be slower than dial up.
    One common event I began to pickup on was the absence of Chris. When he would leave the office (and usually take his laptop with him). The internet was fine. However, almost immediately upon his return the internet would come to a crawl. I have asked him if he is downloading anything thinking maybe that was the issue. Of course he said he was not and that the internet was fine on his computer.
    Then one day as I walked by his desk I saw Limewire running on his computer (a file sharing program). I am pretty sure now that this is the source of our bandwidth problem. I want to be able to block or at least allocate how much bandwidth gets used for things such as file sharing programs. The hard part is we are not an enterprise level business and therefore cannot afford appliances that cost thousands of dollars. Add that to the fact that file sharing programs are notorious for being tricky to manage let alone block and you can see my dilemma. Can someone please recommend a way to control or prevent Chris from killing our bandwidth? I want to use our router since he does not have the admin password or a key to the room it is in (my office). His laptop is currently using the wireless and is setup for DHCP. However, I need to know he cannot simply get around any efforts by simply using a static IP address. Keep in mind he is not the average user and is a very skilled tech.

    Thank you for your reply. I did some more research on it and found that Limewire supports PnP and will auto switch to using other ports if the main ports (6346-6347) are blocked. In my efforts to stop him I even forwarded 6346-6347 to an IP for our network copier hoping it might interfere with it and so far it has not. I'm not sure that Limewire is not going to be easy to block.  Based on what I've read it may even use port 80 if all other ports are blocked.

  • Need photo album/gallery with upload/download capabilities

    Hi all,
    This is my first time here. I've recently purchased my first
    Mac with iLife and have Dreamweaver MX. I'd like a photo album app
    that allows for easy uploading of images (batch if possible). I'd
    like to take the images and make quicktime movie slideshows from
    iMovie and then upload those into the album so friends and fam can
    look at. I'd like the albums to be password protected. I've looked
    at Coppermine and Gallery, but I don't know a thing about PHP or
    MySQL. I do, however, have some understanding of databases (MS
    Access and Oracle) and I understand regular SQL. I did develop an
    ASP app in a class a few years back, but not sure if any of that
    knowledge remains in the grey matter (PHP and MySQL seem to be the
    trends now). Will Dreamweaver make things easier if I attempt
    either of the aforementioned apps? Is there a truly plug and play
    app that might be easier? I am a bit lazy and pressed for time. Any
    direction will be greatly appreciated.

  • Problem with search and replace

    I'm workin on Windows XP, Dreamwearver 8
    When I do a search and replace in a site, the changes will be
    made correctly, however, the auto date stamp that I'm using on my
    pages will duplicate on random pages and overwrite text This
    doesn't occur on all pages, and isn't connected with the actual
    change I'm making. Has anyone experienced this?

    Ok Gary, but...
    in a SQLWorksheet write:
    ababab
    Now Edit -> Replace search for b , replace with \nb
    Result (the last b is not replaced):
    a
    ba
    bab
    At this point, I want to have my string back on one line: Edit -> Replace search for \n , replace with (nothing here)
    Result: The search text "\n" was not found.
    And to make it work I have to tick the Regular Expressions checkbox (in this case substitute escaped characters is ignored).
    While I agree that "it is good to have a choice", I personally find it confusing: none of the few text editors I use (Linux or OSX) behaves this way.

    I'm having exactly the same problem, only my printer is a Canon Pixma iX4000. The colour is all bleached out, it looks exactly like when you've accidentally printed an RGB file on a CMYK printer, and at first I thought that was what I had done, but it isn't. This is very frustrating, I've spent all day going through the manuals, recalibrating etc, but no luck. This is a brand new Mac Pro and printer, but if its not going to print what I see on screen it's just expensive junk.
    I wasn't sure if the problem was Leopard or the printer or CS3...

  • Need basic Help - SG300 with vlan and routing

    Hi,
    i need some basic help with configuring vlan/routing.
    Situation:
    DSL Router - Cisco 300 - XenServer
    192.168.1.253 - 192.168.1.19 - 192.168.1.10 (mgmt ip)
    goal is, to reach from inside xenserver vms the internet.
    vms = 192.168.2.x
    gateway ip = 192.168.2.1
    what i did:
    - configured vlan 102, tagged, with the xenserver port
    - configured on xenserver a network with vlan id 102, attached to the vm
    - this network is conntected to an external bond
    - configured ipva4 interface: vlan102 - Static - IP 192.168.2.1 (this is the gateway ip of the vms)
    - automatic configured IPv4 Route: 192.168.2.0/24 next hop 0.0.0.0, Directly connected
    So at the moment i cant ping from inside a vm to the DSL Router (192.168.2.2 to 192.168.1.253)
    any ideas what i misconfigured or whats wrong?
    cheers,
    -Marco

    Hi Tom,
    ok, that make sense. I can ping the router now inside vms from 192.168.2.x network.
    But i cant ping external adresses, error: Destination net unreachable.
    My other problem i have, i cant reach any server from outside over router portforwarding.
    How do i have to configure the upload port to the dsl router? Is it a access port or a trunk
    port with all vlans (tagged or untagged?) At the moment ive a tagged Trunkport with all vlans.
    IPv4 Interface Table
    Interface
    IP Address Type
    IP Address
    Mask
    Status
    VLAN 1
    Static
    192.168.1.19
    255.255.255.0
    Valid
    Should the VLAN1 ip adress not the router ip adress ? Do i need an additional vlan for
    the router ? At the end i like to change the switch ip from dhcp to static (change automaticly
    when switching to layer 3 mode), but ive to look for the ios commands first.
    What else do i missing ?
    Thanks a lot,

  • Error opening a Manage Report template with Formulas and Summation

    Hi Expert,
    My j2ee web application is setup is such a way that when there is NO connectivity to the Crystal Report Server XI, it will use the Crystal Report for Eclipse functionality and opening report templates located in the relative path - This works fine.
    But when there is a connectivity to the CMS Server, I have this error when opening a manage report in Crystal Report Server XI that contains formulas and summations. But for other reports like chart and listings no problem.
    This code triggers the error:
    ReportClientDocument clientDoc = reportAppFactory.openDocument(infoObject,0, java.util.Locale.US);
    I found out there's a conflict between CR libraries  for Eclipse and libraries for RAS Enterprise Server XI.
    How can I solve this issue so that I can support the two scenarios - with or without CMS connectivity, I can still view reports.

    You must isolate the CR4E and RAS SDK jars using separate classloaders - simplest is have separate apps, if rolling your own class loaders is out of project scope.
    They do not work together.
