Non-technical question about naming conventions used in API

What does the prefix `PF_` stand for in all the function names in the AE SDK? It's not immediately obvious to me, and was just curious. I like to have a sense of how the naming conventions came to be when I'm learning new code.
Thanks!

Interesting question. PF is the abbreviation for the Plug-in Filter package in After Effects.

Is it possible to control the naming convention used by Aperture when importing photos? If so, how

When I import photos from my camera, I have them placed into projects based on the date the photos were taken. However, I do not like the naming convention used by Aperture as it causes the projects to sort into a non-chronologial order. The convention is MMM-DD-YYYY and I want to change it to YYYY-MM-DD. Is it possible in Aperture 3.2.4 to do this?

In the Import panel you can edit the preset for the file name format to "Image year - image month - image day - index" for example; the preset for folder names seems to be gone in Aperture 3,3 - at least I cannot find it any longer. You only seem to be able to enter the folder name manually in the Import panel.

What are the naming conventions used for aggregates created from Query?

What are the naming conventions used for aggregates created from Query?

Hi Reddy,
As you know aggregates are baby cubes right.
Aggregate names by default system has given as 6 digit number like 100831 but write the description by yourself.
Here you have to remember fact table is created with the name
like for ex: /BIC/F100831.
while creating aggregates you can observe all options carefully till complete the creation process then after I am sure about
your can get idea .
If problem still persists with you let me know the same until
get out of that.
else assign points if this is sufficient.
Thanks,

Question about openning files using SDK 10.

I have written a Plug-In for SDK 9 that works wonderfully. One of the functions is for the user to be able to page (Next/Previous) between PDF files on our server. This functionality now longer works without crashing Acrobat 10. All I am doing is creating the URL path to the next/previous PDF, creating a CustomFileSys with the path and calling AVDocOpenFromFile.
Does this no longer work with Acrobat 10 SDK?
Thanks!

Should work fine, AFAIK.
For this level of issue, I would open a formal support request with developer support.

Implement Naming convention using code inspector

Hi,
We have to implement naming convention using code inspector,if anybody has already done it plz help
me inunderstanding the problem.
help is appreciated.

We're also using the code inspector for naming conventions.

A technical question about time.

I find myself wondering what would be the total playing time of my iTunes library. How can I determine this? I could copy the total file into Excel then add up the time column, but as I have 12,000 tracks I doubt Excel could handle it. Is there a simple way to do this?

Select Library - Music and look at the botton center of the iTunes window.

Design question about when to use inner classes for models

This is a general design question about when to use inner classes or separate classes when dealing with table models and such. Typically I'd want to have everything related to a table within one classes, but looking at some tutorials that teach how to add a button to a table I'm finding that you have to implement quite a sophisticated tablemodel which, if nothing else, is somewhat unweildy to put as an inner class.
The tutorial I'm following in particular is this one:
http://www.devx.com/getHelpOn/10MinuteSolution/20425
I was just wondering if somebody can give me their personal opinion as to when they would place that abstracttablemodel into a separate class and when they would just have it as an inner class. I guess re-usability is one consideration, but just wanted to get some good design suggestions.

It's funny that you mention that because I was comparing how the example I linked to above creates a usable button in the table and how you implemented it in another thread where you used a ButtonColumn object. I was trying to compare both implementations, but being a newbie at this, they seemed entirely different from each other. The way I understand it with the example above is that it creates a TableRenderer which should be able to render any component object, then it sets the defaultRenderer to the default and JButton.Class' renderer to that custom renderer. I don't totally understand your design in the thread
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=680674
quite yet, but it's implemented in quite a bit different way. Like I was saying the buttonClass that you created seem to be creating an object of which function I don't quite see. It looks more like a method, but I'm still trying to see how you did it, since it obviously worked.
Man adding a button to a table is much more difficult than I imagined.

Questions about Indexing and Using an Indexing POA

Although I have only about 50 users, at least 15 of them have in excess of 100,000 messages in their accounts and the POA (version 7.0.2) is regularly slowing to a crawl. (I just know that plans for revolution are fomenting!) I have embarked on a campaign to reduce these accounts by archiving everything off to get mail accounts down to 3000 or fewer pieces. I have achieved user buy-in, but have worked on only a few users so far.
In another closely related thread, it was suggested to me that the PO speed issues relate to broken indexes. And I suspect that given so many messages, the indexes were never getting fully rebuilt with the default QF POA settings. I am trying to fix that situation in addition to reducing mail account sizes. So, I have set up a second POA on another server and dedicated it to the indexing task. The /qfinterval is set for 1 hour, other /qf switches at default. The POA-QF does no mail delivery, but it does do nightly user upkeep.
The POA-QF seems to be steadily working away and making progress at reducing the number of unindexed messages. However, I have questions about what I am seeing and what more I can do:
1. Is the progress I am seeing real progress? For example I have a user with over 100,000 messages to be indexed and every time I check the logs, the count drops by about 500 messages per hourly QF cycle. I assume that if I just let it keep running, it will eventually get caught up and fixed. Not only with this user, but with all the others as well. Will my patience (and theirs) be rewarded? Are there any gotchas I need to prepare for?
2. One user has recently had virtually all of her messages successfully moved to archive. I can see them in the Archive, and do not see them in the online account. However, now over a week later, QF still shows >130,000 items still left to index for that user. The POA-QF is making slow, steady progress reducing that number, but why is this user's QF count still so high? Does it just need more time, or is there something amiss for this user?
3. I may want to rebuild indexes for single users from scratch. I have seen the TID 3105742 which tells how to do this: Essentially you turn off mail delivery functions, and make some other switch changes to dedicate the POA to indexing for just a single user, and then you let the POA rebuild the indexes. The implication of that scenario is that the POA is now enjoying exclusive access to the user's databases.
If I want to use my secondary POA-QF to rebuild a user's index from scratch, does the main POA have to be offline and the user out of GWise? That is, Does the QF process require exclusive access in order to rebuild indexes from scratch?
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Set this switch for this indexing POA - /qflevel=999 - this will index
everything in one run. It will take a long time, but with no qflevel switch you
are indeed only indexing 500 messages at a time, and if the user has that much
mail, it might never really catch up.

This is odd, because really the index count should drop to nothing, but with the
above switch this might get resolved as well.

Not really - the POA is not enjoying exclusive access to the user's database,
the indexer is just avoiding an attempt to index anything else.

No - QF never requires exclusive access. That said, you may find that an
extremely vigorous QF can cause slowdowns for the user.

Question about HTML files using TextEdit

First off, I wanted to ask if this is the proper place to post a question about HTML/XHTML. I couldn't really find anywhere else that seemed to fit better, but please point me in the right direction if this is not the place. Thanks.
Moving on -- here's my question:
I'm having trouble with working with HTML files in TextEdit. I'm on a Mac, using TextEdit as my HTML editor (I can not afford one of these other HTML editors, and I like using a simple text editor like TextEdit for HTML). Here's my problem: I open a new rich text document in TextEdit and write my HTML and then choose File>Save As and choose "HTML" under the File Format drop-down box. Having saved this file as an HTML file, I then open Safari and choose File>Open File and select my HTML file; however, when I do this, my web page's text does not appear in the browser window. Instead, the HTML code itself appears in the browser window, as if the browser was not interpreting it as HTML and converting it. The same problem happens when saving the file as a .htm file using Microsoft Word for Mac.
So, as another solution (at the suggestion of a helpful poster in a previous thread), I tried creating a plain text file in TextEdit (instead of a rich text file like before). Now, in TextEdit there is no option for saving plain text files as HTML files, so I simply save it as a Unicode-8 format and then find the file in Finder and change the extension to .htm myself (I've tried .html as well). This, fortunately enough, actually works! When I open the file in Safari I get to see my web page as expected. However, the first time I quit out of the application TextEdit and then try to reopen my .htm file in TextEdit, I no longer can see my HTML code. Instead, TextEdit shows me the actual web page text that I would expect to see when I open the file in a browser, and my HMTL code is lost.
Can someone please help me here? There has to be a way to edit HTML in TextEdit without the code disappearing every time you quit out of the application and reopen the HTML file. Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That's the problem -- once I convert it to plain text there is no longer an HTML option under the Save As drop down menu. The drop down menu's title is Plain Text Encoding instead of File Format and the only options I get are Unicode-8, Unicode-16, Western, Chinese, and so forth. I can save it as an HTML file, but only if the file is rich text, which doesn't work for HTML.
So, I can save it as plain text (.txt) and then go and change the extension myself, and like I said, it works if I do that. I can edit HTML in TextEdit and open the file properly in Safari to view my web page. The problem is (I went over all this in my first post) that, after that, if I exit TextEdit and reopen it, my document is no longer HTML code -- it is now simply the text of the web site as if I had opened it in a broswer.
What do you suggest I do?

Question about extend calendar using scal? help,help

I have read sap notes:1529649 , 501670
and my steps will be:
1> in our qas system using scal
change holiday calendar: choose CN China holiday calendar to change and then enter validation from 1995 to 2098(for example)
2> change factory calendar: choose CN China factory calendar to change and then enter validation from 1995 to 2098(for example)
3> in scal , choose menu: extras-->update calendar buffer
4> transport this change to our prd system.
5> go to scal in prd system to check
6> update prd system `s calendar buffer in scal
I do know whether my steps is right?
I have two questions:
1> we are a chinese compary, and we use several languages:TRADITIONAL CHINESE , SIMPLIFIED CHINESE and ENGLISH;
whether i should change other holiday calendar,such as british calendar?
2> Is there something wrong about my steps?
thanks a lot.

Hi,
You are correct, But You can change it on QAS due to client will not modifiable.
Goto Developement System and run scal.
Most important is to change/extend factory calander and save it. Request will be generated as Workbench. Transport it to Production System.

Technical question about photo files... involving Q, i think~

(Note: several questions in this post, scattered)
Does anyone know how photo files retain their information given from the camera? For example, the time and date that they were taken. Is there another way or program that allows me to view these details swiftly? Are these little pieces of information easily lost if I transfer the images from one application/program to the next??? I'm sentimental, and like being able to refer to images when I need an exact time for an event...
I love iPhoto for its organization of images and how convenient it is to glance over to the left to find the "Information" tab containing the time and date of when each photo was taken.
However, after making a back-up of my iPhoto libraries folder, I realized that there are about 5 or 6 GB of extra information created for my 4000+ images (due to thumbnails created for each image, etc) versus just having them in folders would save me 5 or 6 GB. Additionally, when I look at my images through finder, I find redundant files, like:
IMG_0001 and IMG00012 (these two images are exactly the same). Is there a way to get rid of these files safely?
Thank you all so much for all the help.

That info in stored in the photo file as EXIF data - many programs will read and display the EXIF date - Generally it travels well with the photo
IMG_0001 and IMG00012 (these two images are exactly the same). Is there a way to get rid of these files safely?
The only safe way to get rid of photos in iPhoto is to delete them using iPhoto - drag them to the iphoto trash and empty the iPhoto trash
, I realized that there are about 5 or 6 GB of extra information created for my 4000+ images (due to thumbnails created for each image, etc) versus just having them in folders would save me 5 or 6 GB.
This buys you non destructive editing, the ability to revert to the original at any time and virtually unlimited organization capability with keywords, albums, smart albums, ratings etc.
with the low cost of storage I find the trade off a good one

Technical question about encoding: Experimentation may be needed, but..

I work with a team producing a weekly video for distribution to two other sites. Up until now, we have been capturing (Canon XL2 into FCP on iMac via FW), doing a few quick edits and sending to a DVD via compressor. As an aside, we also have compressor put out a smallish web-version for upload to our website.
We distribute the video DVD for use with a live audience, whose sole engagement with content from us is via video (We are a church). It's working, and has been working for about a year. Minus a few mishaps - mostly human error stuff...
I would consider recommending a move to distributing video as files instead of physical DVDs. The potential advantages I see are:
1. We can encode at a higher quality than DVD
2. No time spent burning the DVD
3. No physical transport of a physical device (made of cheap plastic) - We could upload/download via Dropbox or some similar model.
4. The technician starting up the playback wouldn't have to fight with the DVD-player going to "sleep".
My question for this forum is on the technical side of things. Can we use FCP/COmpressor to actually put out a higher quality video if it's a file to play on a Mac? If so, how? What kinds of encodes should we experiment with?
Thanks all!

Can we use FCP/COmpressor to actually put out a higher quality video if it's a file to play on a Mac?
yes
If so, how?
Simply use Compressor to encode whatever comes out of FCP. There are lots of presets for h.264 based file generation from highly compressed to nearly visually lossless.
What kinds of encodes should we experiment with?
See previous answer.
The key element is all the computers must be able to play h.264 quicktime files. Current Macs will have no issues. And, as long the PC people download and install a current version of Quicktime Player, it is a cross platform compatible format.

Technical questions about the BO repository

Hi to all,
I order to understand how BO (talking about BO 3.0) act internally, I need to know the following questions:
- What information is held in the repository database? Content or just metadata?
- What is held in the properties blob of the bo_repos.cms_infoobjects6 table?
- What is held in the data blob of the bo_repos.cms_relations6 table?
- Is there any possibility to change directly the UID of an object (eg: a universe) in the database directly? This action could be helpful to work with versions..
Is there any technical documentation?
Many thanks,
Bea

Hi Bea,
I tested your case in my environment. After changing the definition of a key figure in my universe (this should be your development version), I renamed it (used the name of a universe on which I already had some reports running on) and tried to export it in the BOBJ repository. The designer prompted me to select if I want to copy or move my universe. I choose to create a copy of my universe and on the next step I was asked if I want to overwrite the universe with the same name (in your case this should be your production version). I confirmed overwriting the universe and started then my WebI reports (production reports) in the InfoView. Everything worked fine and the modification was visible.
Please note that if during the development phase you remove/rename/change the visibility of universe objects (classes, dimensions, key figures), which are used in your existing WebI reports, then you will indeed may have problems. Even if you delete a class or object and add later a new one with the same name, there's no garantee that a WebI report which was using this object will work.
Still if you just modify or add objects during the development or if you remove first the objects, which you want to delete, from your reports, then you should not have a problem with the approach we are discussing here.

Stratos

Beginner's question about naming helper classes

Hello,
I am building a pretty basic multi-tier application. I want to reduce a much as possible the dependencies between the web tier and the ejb tier. Ideally I would like for the web tier to construct a request object (of class MyRequest) and send it to the ejb tier that would then return a results object (of class MyResults).
These would therefore be the only two classes that BOTH the ejb and web tier would be aware of. All other classes would either belong to the web tier OR the ejb tier.
My question relates to the naming of these two classes. I would like to have different package names for the two classes as follows:
-web-tier request object will be of type com.mycompany.web.MyRequest
-ejb-tier request object will be of type com.mycompany.ejb.MyRequest
-web-tier results object will be of type com.mycompany.web.MyResults
-ejb-tier results object will be of type com.mycompany.ejb.MyResults
I am getting errors with that. Is there a way around it?
Thanks in advance,
Julien Martin.

Hello PinkyDead and thanks for your answer,
I got the errors on another project and can't remember which. Class Cast Exceptions perhaps. I had to change the package names so that they matched in the web tier and the ejb tier. (which is what I don't like).
As far as the new project is concerned I am trying to design the application as well as possible and your comments are therefore useful. Better getting the design right before starting coding.
Can you or anyone tell me what architecture would be better that the one I proposed?? Don't you agree that at least some classes have to be shared by the web tier and the ejb tier? How can it be otherwise?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.
