Obmenugen next version (v0.5): beta-testers needed

Hi everybody:
It's been a long time since last obmenugen release. Sorry about that, I've been very busy.
I need everybody out there using (or not) obmenugen to help me making the next version the best ever. I have ported to D 1.0 (from 2.0), thus it's posible to build it easily using dmd and libphobos from community. No more need to distribute it as a binary. I've also fixed some bugs reported in lauchpad project's bugtracker.
I consider this the most important release of obmenugen from 0.1, so, help me to test it before the final release.

Yes, indeed, it's the same app, I'm the developer, but this thread is about a complete diferent topic: the new version, which cames with a lot of changes, not much at the interface level, but in the inside. Anyway, at the interface level, there are changes too.
I'm not sure, probable you are the one to make me clear, but I think both threads are related, no more than that, 'cause is the same application, but in this thread I'm asking for beta-testers for this new version, for the matter that it cames with so much changes, the other thread is where I do inform the Arch community about releases.
If you think this thread is not needed or redundant, just tell me, and I will move my posts to the other, then you could remove this.
Thanks a lot

Organism: extensible outliner+personal organizer (needs beta testers)

Organism is basically a simple outliner structured in a very modular way: the core is written in Python 2 (but should be easily adaptable to Python 3) and provides the backend for interacting with sqlite databases, where the data is stored.
The core also provides an API that can be used by 3 kinds of addons: extensions, interfaces and plugins.
Extensions are meant to extend core functionalities, and provide their own API: they can directly query the databases.
Interfaces are the addons that let the user directly interact with core's and extensions' API: currently only a wxPython interface is implemented. Interfaces cannot directly query the databases, they must make calls to the core or the extensions.
Plugins are for interfaces what extensions are for the core: they extend interface functionalities and cannot directly query the databases.
The various addons are currently distributed with 3 components (installation packages, but I decided not to use the word "package" since it conflicts with Python packages):
* the "main" component provides the core, a copy/paste extension, the wxPython interface and some basic plugins.
* the "organizer" component provides extensions and plugins that let the user define time scheduling rules for each database entry; alarms are raised when events take place, and they can be snoozed or dismissed, like the average calendar application.
* the "development" component provides some tools for developers and beta testers (currently only "print database tables" and "populate database")
Organism and its addons are released under GPLv3.
AUR PACKAGES
* organism: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54620
* organism-organizer: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54622
* organism-development: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54621
SCREENSHOTS
* http://www.dariogiovannetti.net/files/organism01.png
* http://www.dariogiovannetti.net/files/organism02.png
CURRENT KNOWN LIMITATIONS
* At the current state, plugins can add their own items to the interface's main menu, but by default they just append them at the bottom of the main entries, so the user needs to customize them in Organism's configuration file, which is located in ~/.config/organism/organism.conf. The location of the configuration file can be changed with the --config flag, all the available options are shown with the --help flag.
* Once you create a database, the current addon configuration is stored in it, so you won't be able to open it with a different combination of addons: this is done to prevent data corruption, since an extension may add some particular data that needs updating, and if the database is opened without that extension it may get corrupted. Of course The next release of Organism will give the ability to "update" the databases to support the new versions of the addons.
* At the moment only 3 schedule rules are implemented, but they are fairly easy to write and can be requested specifically.
* This post is currently by far the best piece of documentation about Organism (except the source itself), I'll try to catch up on that too ^^
* The next goal is releasing a stable 1.0.0 version, which means that only the most essential features are implemented, there's much room for improvement!
DEPENDENCIES
Beside wxpython, needed until the current interface is the only one available, Organism depends on 4 external Python modules I wrote during its development:
* python2-plural: a little module that returns the needed form of a string depending on one or more input variables.
* python2-loggingext: an extension to the logging module that lets the logger use different formatters for different log message levels.
* python2-texthistory: a simple undo/redo engine for plain text and wx.TextCtrl.
* python2-configfile: a class useful for dynamically parsing and writing configuration files, with support for subsections and more.
python2-texthistory and python2-configfile may even be tested separately, if somebody is interested in using them for other projects.
BETA TESTING
Organism is in pre-beta, which means that I'm still accepting minor feature requests before going beta and starting the real testing campaign: that's why I'm looking for people interested in the project who want to help testing it.
Beta testers should concentrate in particular in these fields:
* defects in reading/writing the configuration file
* defects in the database's undo/redo engine
* defects in item text editor's undo/redo engine
* defects in the organizer's management of timed item occurrences
Of course bugs can happen everywhere, they can be reported at https://github.com/kynikos/organism/issues and https://github.com/kynikos/organism-organizer/issues
Beta testers should use organism either by setting the logging level to "33" in the configuration file or by launching it with "--loglevel 33".
ARTISTIC CONTRIBUTIONS
I'm also looking for somebody intersted in an artistic collaboration for creating an original icon, since currently Organism is using GTK theme icons only.
Thanks for reading

I need a few beta testers

I have the title creation macro working.
This macro is run from a Microsoft Word document. I wrote it on Office 2003 but it should work on newer versions. It runs on 2003 because I have the compatibility pack.
Here is how it works:
You create a title in Premiere Pro using the font and positioning that you want to use. Get it just right. (One line of text only though.)
Change the text of the title to "xyz" without the quotes.
Export the title as a title. (*.prtl)
Open the MS Word document and either type in the text you want to use or paste it in from another document.
I limited it to 9999 titles but I doubt that will inconvenience anyone. (I actually only tested it to 9990). That many titles takes quite a while though. (55 minutes) Heck, it takes quite a while to import that many into Premiere Pro for that matter.
Once you have the text in place (make sure that there isn't a blank line at the end or you will get an empty title), you just double-click where it says to double-click.
It will ask you which is the master file you want to make copies of. Then it will ask you for the file name and location you want to use for the copies. It will append the numbers 0001 through 9999
Then it proceeds to make your copies using each line of text for a new title.
When it is finished, just import the titles into Premiere Pro and drag drop to the timeline. Or automate to sequence.
Deceptively simple. I didn't write much of the code. I understand it, but only after studying what was kindly given to me by a master VBA guy on a VBA forum. Kind of like if you were a newbie around here and Jim Simon or Ann Bens offered to edit your video for you after you asked a question. It was phenomenal. Although it might have been more like what I did for the people I created intros for. Not sure just how much effort he had to put into it. But it sure works great and the code is simple, and clean.
OK? So now I need a few beta testers before I just throw it out there to the world of Premiere Pro users. If you would like to take it for a test drive, let me know in this thread.
If you are concerned about letting a macro run on your system, prevent it from running and just read the text from the Visual Basic Editor yourself. You will see that it doesn't do anything sinister.Then allow it the next time.
Just do me one favor. If you change the code to make it better, please share it with everyone.
Thanks,

Really? 272 views of this post at the time I write this and nobody wants to create multiple titles based on a single title using text from an external program?
Wow!
We see the question all the time, and yet nobody wants to try it out?
OK. I will just wait until somebody asks again and offer the untested solution. Seriously, this is not the response I expected. Not after years of seeing requests for this feature.

iPhoto was working fine. Performed update for HP printer, which should have nothing to do with iPhoto. But the next time I tried to open iPhoto, got this message. "To open your library with this version of iPhote, it first needs to be prepared." When I g

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Need Authorware News Update - Future with Adobe ? Next Version ? Etc

I've been away from Authorware for many months.
I'm sure these questions have been asked before but hopefully
someone will
be kind enough to give me a quick run down and update.

- What about the next version ? (if any)
- Should we ditch Authorware and try to go with something
else that is more
likely to be here down the road?
thanks for any comments.

Speaking of other tools...is there anything out there that
can actually
compete with Authorware and its vast custom possibilites? I
get occasional
management requests to see if any new tools can do what AW
can
better/faster/less overhead and so far nothing. AW is the
most powerful

The Next Version of Premiere Pro CC - Warp Stabilizer

With the recent post of what's coming in the next version of PPro CC, I was sad to see no mention of Warp Stabilizer. As amazing of an effect as it is, it needs a bit of help. I know there are improvements and fixes that probably weren't mentioned in the post so I'm still holding out hope. We use Warp Stabilizer more than anyone I know. Several hundred times per week. Yes, per week, no exaggeration. Over the last few years, we've built an entire style of shooting around the strengths of this awesome effect that emulates the use of a slider, steadicam and crane all without having to have them. So we've become really familiar with its PROS and CONS.
Here is a short list of SEVEN things that should be addressed with regards to warp stabilizer within Premiere Pro CC to maximize its effectiveness (and yes we did submit multiple Feature Requests for these so far to no avail):
FIrst and foremost and by far MOST IMPORTANT to us - Allow users to create a CUSTOM PRESET with any altered settings that will engage (or begin Analyzing/Stabilizing) automatically when added to a clip!! This is huge. If you double click on Warp Stabilizer with a clip selected, it is applied to that clip and begins the process of stabilizing that clip. However, the vast majority of the time we need to alter the settings of the effect. If we create a custom preset, that's all fine and good, but when we add that to a clip, it does NOT begin stabilizing. Instead you have to manually go into the Effect Controls for each clip and select ANALYZE. Huge waste of time when adding this effect to hundreds of clips. PLEASE FIX!
BUG when saving projects!!! - If this is not a bug, it needs to be fixed because it's awful. - If you have more than one sequence with multiple warp stabilizations added and GPU ACCELERATION IS ENABLED, then after you SAVE a project (or if it auto-saves) when you toggle between the two sequences you are hit with a delay or freeze while the render bar goes from Yellow to Red...and finally back to yellow again. No work can be done during this delay/freeze. The more stabilized clips, the longer the delay. For us, on our larger projects this delay is sometimes 30 seconds to almost a full minute! Once it turns back to yellow, you can toggle between sequences without the delay...but as soon as it saves again...and you toggle between sequences, the delay hits again. If this is a bug, or somehow a result of Premiere Pro's way of CACHING projects after it's saved, then I sincerely hope it's fixed asap. It's awful!
The third is more of a feature request than a fix - Add the ability to set the maximum scale to work WITH the smoothness control so that if you never want your clips to scale more than say 105%, you can set that and have Warp Stabilizer stabilize the clip and adjust the "smoothness" percentage from the default "50%" down to whatever it needs to be in order for that clip to be fully stabilized and scaled to no more than 105%. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is not possible currently. Right now we have to manually adjust each clip if it is initially scaled too much by dropping down the Smoothness %.
Another great feature would be the ability to manually keyframe the scaling so that if you have a longer clip that starts fairly steady, then needs to be smoothed out a bit more in the middle, before it ends relatively steady again, you can slowly and seamlessly ramp up the stabilization/scaling so that the whole clip doesn't have to be scaled to make up for the misgivings of one portion of the clip.
Minor bug - sometimes when you have extended the length of a clip, the clip needs to be re-analyzed again. However, the "analyze" button is often greyed out. You need to click away from the clip and then click on the clip again to make that button appear again. Nothing big, but still, a small bug.
After Effects Warp Stablizer VFX feature carried over - It would be nice to carry over to Premiere the ability to isolate what in frame is supposed to be stable (sometimes someone nodding their head can trick the effect into thinking that it's the camera shaking). Great to have it in AE, but would be nice to carry over to Premiere Pro CC.
Finally, I've always believed that no matter how cool "Subspace Warp" sounds, it is not as effective as "Position, Scale & Rotation". This SHOULD be the deafult "method" within the Warp's settings. I'd say 95% of the thousands and thousands of clips we've stabilized we ended up switching the "Method" within the settings to "Position, Scale & Rotation" because it either scaled the shot less or created less "wobble" in the resulting stabilized clip. I know everyone shoots differently, and sometimes Subspace Warp is the way to go, but we have stabilized all sorts of shots with great success by simply switching this setting. Granted...if #1 on this list was taken care of we could then easily have this set as our default setting.
Hopefully this list either reaches someone within Adobe that can do something about them or at the very least inspires others to write feature requests and bug fixes as we have. Even resolving #1, #2 and #3 would be HUGE and would save our editors probably 10 hours per week. It's an awesome effect, far better than "smoothcam" on FCP7, it just needs a little love.

All good points, thanks for posting.
For #1, you can make this work in AE at least. This tip is from my colleague DanW:
If you make a preset by only selecting the values you change (and not a preset for the whole effect) then it will auto-analyze on apply.
Simplest way: apply WS, make edits, hit UU to reveal changed params, select all "i-beams" in the Timeline, drag them to the Effects & Presets panel.
For #4, you can get manual control over the scaling by setting Framing to Stabilize Only, and then keyframe Additional Scale to taste. At one point we were going to try to automate this, but found automatic scaling to be very subjective as to the best way to handle it.
For #6, Warp Stabilizer will not track areas with zero alpha channel. So you can pre-mask the input to reveal just the parts you want to stabilize. Do this inside a nested sequence, with Warp Stabilizer applied downstream (in the outer sequence). The just-announced masking & tracking capabilities of the next CC version should be handy for this.

Hi DaveS!
Great to hear that you guys are taking a look at this list. Hope it helps make it better. #1, #2, and #3 are by far the biggest time killers for us so hopefully they'll be able to be fixed/resolved within Premiere soon.
Regarding your note about #1: Allowing this functionality within Premiere specifically would be very helpful. Would it be possible to eventually allow Premiere to auto-analyze when a saved custom preset is applied to a clip? I tried it in AE as you suggested, and couldn't figure it out. But realistically we use Warp Stabilizer on so many clips that round tripping literally hundreds of short clips to AE would be just as time consuming as going into the settings in premiere for each one and adjusting the parameters. We usually adjust the method and then adjust the smoothness scale so that it doesn't "Auto-Scale" more than 104%. That's where our #3 suggestion would help. I didn't quite understand how to make a preset of specific changed values. I tried, but couldn't follow DanW's suggestion. Granted, I'm not that great with AE. I really just use it for the Warp VFX's ability to isolate what in frame is stabilized (hope that comes to Premiere one day) and that's about it. And I really only have to do that a couple times per project. Anyway, I'm sure I'm doing DanW's suggestions wrong but regardless, I'm not sure it would save us much time when we have several hundred individual little clips that would all need to be sent to AE. Any hope for adding this auto-analyze functionality (hopefully allowing a custom preset on the whole effect and all it's adjusted parameters) in Premiere CC?
Regarding your note about #4: That is a valid work around for now. I appreciate that thought. Thanks!
Regarding your note about #6: I think I half understand what you described. I'd have to try it. Although, as I said before, the AE way of doing it is ideal and I just hoped that ability to show the tracking points and delete them over time would come to Premiere CC one day. When the next CC comes out I'd love to try this masking method although I think I'll have to claify exactly what you want me to do just to be safe. Is there no hope to port this added functionality that's in AE's Warp VFX over to Premiere's Warp Stabilizer? Again, not the end of the world for us. I'd rather #1, #2 and #3 be addressed inside Premiere Pro CC for now.
Fixing the first 3 on this list would be HUGE time saver for us.
Thanks again DaveS to you and the rest of the Adobe team for looking into this list. Very much appreciated.

Message to RIM - wish list for next version

Hi
Just some thoughts based on a couple of days of use of a playbook that my IT folks lent me.
Firstly, hopefully RIM will realize that the only way this will take off is if Enterprise users really buy into it but the device lacks in certain areas if it is to be a WorkBook instead of a PlayBook (which other tablets do a better job at) as follows:
- no way to adjust font size or zoom in the Messages in the BlackBerry bridge - if the higher ups in corporate can't read their messages, they won't buy.
- even though typing e-mails show you spelling errors w a red underline - there is no way to correct, while in your BBerry, you can call up spelling correction options. (The same for the other bridge apps, like memos etc, as well).
- very difficult to edit messages, the touch screen is not sensitive enough so its difficult to place the cursor to exactly to the point you need it in text you have already typed. Suggest an optical track ball (similar to the ones in the 9700s) or a stylus be incorporated into the next version.
- even if you are able to get the cursor to the spot you want it in a draft e-mail/memos you can't highlight to cut or copy text to other parts of the e-mail/memo draft.
- can't view attachments that are part of the calendar entries - but you can on the BBerry itself.
Think that's it after 2 days of using. Needless to say, am disappointed as the PlayBook doesn't increase productivity and is lacking in key areas that are part of what makes BBerry a strong product. I wouldn't buy with my personal funds and think the corporate will not roll out as aggressively as it could the cost/benefit is currently not there.
Let's see what future software/hardware upgrades bring.
Cheers to all.

Sneak peek: the next version of DW

Alejandro Guttierez shows off one of the main new features in the next version of Dreamweaver.
http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/04/nextgendreamweaver.html
By the way, if you plan to attend Adobe MAX, I am presenting a 90-minute hands-on lab diving into the detail of how to use the new CSS Designer panel. The lab will be presented twice at 2.45pm on Monday, 6 May, and at 11am on Wednesday, 8 May.
The blog post also confirms what I have suspected for a long time: server behaviors will be removed from the next version. They'll still be available as an extension, so existing users aren't left in the lurch. But the message is clear: start thinking of alternatives.

David_Powers wrote:

Just removing the server behaviours without replacing them with something more up-to-date its NOT very forward thinking of Adobe. The server behaviours IS or WAS a massive reason to use Dreamweaver.
I have no idea whether Adobe plans to replace server behaviors with something more up to date. What I do know is that the forum dedicated to developing server-side applications in Dreamweaver has become less and less active in the past year or so. Maybe that's because people who don't want to write their own code rely on the more sophisticated offerings of extension developers, such as WebAssist and DMX Zone, who have their own forums. However, if I used those extensions my main concern would be that, as far as I know, they're dependent on the deprecated mysql functions.
Working with a database doesn't necessarily involve writing a lot of code. There are several powerful PHP frameworks, all of them free, that do all the hard lifting for you. When I wrote Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP: Training from the Source, only one chapter was devoted to using server behaviors. The book was published by Adobe Press, and with Adobe's full knowledge and approval, it concentrated on using Zend Framework 1. It also showed how to use WordPress in Dreamweaver. I think the rise of WordPress played a similar role in the fate of server behaviors as jQuery played in the decision to cease investing in Spry.
If WordPress is too much like a sledgehammer, an alternative is Perch. It's not free, and it requires a separate licence for each website, but it has an excellent reputation. It's developed and maintained by Drew McLellan and his wife, Rachel Andrew, two very talented web developers (they're Brits, too). I don't have any affiliation with them. I've just heard lots of good things about them and Perch.
Sure David I hear what you're saying BUT Wordpress is too clumsy for the client to use simply. It's far too easy to add a myriad of extentions which could break the website design. Every time Wordpress is released you need to upgrade with it. It has security risks as far as I know. It's certainly not soemthing that I would touch after having given it a run out, several times. The whole package is really messy in my view and you're less in control of the process. Coding is King.
Yes, Perch is much better and simpler but is still quite restrictive, I've used that too. I've just finished a website which as far as I'm concerned required a bespoke CMS. Not only that if you write the code, or most of it, you have full control and knowledge in the event of something which stops working......at least I have a chance of sorting out the problem them. Totally relying on 3rd party products or extentions you have zero chance UNLESS you're some kind of code wizard which you arent going to be if youre using Wordpress or Perch.
I think the reason why there is less and less activity in the forum you mentioned is that many have moved away from using the DW server behaviours (php is the most popular server language by far) BUT Adobe have sat on their backside and missed the boat prefering to concentrate on rather lame updates.
I'm sure your right about WebAssist and DMX Zone whose extention MUST be compatibale with the Dreamweaver ones. I guess its over to them to come up with something that replaces the ones in Adobe as they themselves are highly unlikley to do it themselves.
For me its a question of I have now got to go and learn some of the new sqli which on the outset seems a lot more streamlined than the functional crap DW was writting anyway.

Your feature requests for next version?

I have submitted mine on the feedback page, but I would love to know what you all want the next version to include in terms of improvements and additional features.
In short, my prefered additions would include:
-Stack/collapse all in one keystroke
-More adjustments (among them lens distortion and CA correction)
-Speeeed
-Panorama stitching
-Networking, being able to share images

I like and use Aperture a lot, but realistically is still a v1 program. So I am looking forward to v2. Here's my wish list ....
1. Plug In suppport - Nik plug-in's etc.
2. iLife suite integration without duplicating photos or relying on Automator
3. Integration to FCP suite ..... since the photos are in a package!
4. Ability to use Spotlight external to the package ... or get rid of the package and just move to either file/folder structure or go to an indexed "RDBMS" database (yes, holy wars on this one, I know)
5. Burn archive of import, as a workflow element.
Multiple aperture libraries selectable from the File dialog vs. preference and then quit/launch
6. Span aperure library across drives
7 Standard max/min/lozenge buttons on windows and fonts that an over 50 year old can read .... or adjust .... on today's 23" or 30" high res. displays.
8. oh, and did somebody say .....
S-P-E-E-D?
speed
SPEEEED
9. ....but at least give us progress bars when say, moving photos from project to project
10. Undo on deleting a project .... you're into re-importing from the Mac trash can after figuring out which photo you need (yup, I have the scars and wasted time award)
11. Better visual representation of what's happening (or not) when trying to move photos across albums etc.
Either give us full line camera RAW support, or DNG linear support, or a plug in capability.
12. Overlay one photo on another in book view (tools to increase transparency/reduce saturation on the background photo to create a sense/theme)
12. CURVES!! tool
13. Loupe tool that will stay over the photo while I use the mouse to alter tool settings
14. .... and Luddite that I am, I do still need a <Cmd>+ / <Cmd> - zoom function along with the loupe.
Here endeth today's list. And my thanks to Joe and the Aperture development team in advance!

Next version of SOA suite

We have made this question many, many times before. However, I see that Oracle has a policy where they do not comment on release dates on the forum.
I agree with Toby about the need for architects to be aware of the comming releases.
I was told that SOA Suite 11g is already in advanced stages of development (maybe even on beta version), but the only info I can find on OTN is this whitepaper telling about the general archictecture aspects of the SOA platform:

I hope Oracle soon release a "technology preview" of the next release.

No love for official (not leaked) BB OS 10.1 BETA testers...

Apparently BlackBerry could push us updates outside of standard carrier permission/approval when we were helping BlackBerry test out and provide feedback on their 10.1 device BETA OS, but now that the OS has RTM'ed the folks who previously didn't need carrier permission suddenly do apparently.
It would be REALLY nice of BlackBerry to give the official 10.1 BETA testers the final 10.1 OS ahead of the standard (non-BETA tester) carrier users, #1 as a thank you for assisting with the BETA test, and #2 so we could get off of the BETA version of the OS onto an official release.
Currently sitting on AT&T and BETA OS 10.1.0.264.
/sigh

Hello. It truly depends on the carrier, not just the country. If you are not prompted for an update using BlackBerry Link, I don't think there is an update available. For more information, I recommend asking your carrier.

How can I assign a period (instead of B) in Keynote for blank screen so I can use a Logitech R800 presenter? An option in next version?

I have recently bought a Logitech R800 presenter which works very well with Keynote on a MacBook Pro. The start/stop presentation key does not work but that can be easily fixed by assigning F5 to "Start presentation" for Keynote in the keyboard system preferences. The remaining issue is that the blank screen button sends a period (".") which works as a prompt for a blank screen in PowerPoint, but in Keynote it causes the slideshow to end. Keynote uses the letter "B" for blank screen.
How can I assign a period (instead of B) in Keynote for blank screen? Some sort of work around would be very useful as I often use blank screen in my presentations and much prefer Keynote to PowerPoint.
Perhaps it will be an option in next version of Keynote?
Thanks

As far as I know you can not change these keystrokes without changing the Program files. I am sure it is possible there, but I have no idea where to even start to tell you where to find it.
Your best bet it to go to the Keynote Menu>Provide Keynote Feedback and let Apple know you would like the option to change them.

HT5037 All of a sudden I can't open my iPhoto library. I get a message that says "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. It takes me to this page. Bought MacBook Pro 11/2012. Don't have a clue as to version of

All of a sudden I can't open my iPhoto library. I get a message that says "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. It takes me to this page. Bought MacBook Pro 11/2012. Don't have a clue as to version of IPhoto

Is this library one that you've been using since you bought the MBP? If so and you're running iPhoto 9 then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with
Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Can the lumia 525 be updated to next version of wi...

Can the lumia 525 be updated to next version of windows (probably 8.1) ? When the phone will be launched in india?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As that software update hasn't even been officially announced yet it's impossible to say with any certainty. It is expected it will be compatible with all current WP8 devices but only Microsoft can say that for sure.
You will need to contact Nokia India directly or retailers in India to find out when they expect to be selling it.

My WishList of features for next Version

Hi Team,
As Developer I really love Catalyst,It does complete my FlashBuilder development experience all the way, but still I would like to share some of my wishes on features that could be nice to have for next Version:
1) Build but dont automatically open new Browser, (currently everytime I want to test a change I have to ctr+enter it and it opens new instance of IE, even though url is the same, would be nice just to build it and I could refresh my IE (saves some memory on IE instances) or maybe there is already a way to do it?
2) ability to copy some Layers from one Buttons state to another buttons state, for example I designed a button component and now I want to copy some of the
layers to Toggle button component.
the way I did it was following
I copied my finished button and then I right clicked and selected "Revert Component to Artwork" and then I selected all artwork parts and did convert to component -> toggle button, but this way it only copied layers that I have initially creted for the button and not the layers that I have added in buttons over state.
thats it so far, everyhing else seems great.

You're welcome.
It will certainly be interesting to that device if it included all that hardware, and options.
