Organizing a project in Library Inspector

I am trying to move a project around in the Library Inspector. For some reason it went to the very top of all the albums and projects and whenever I drag it to where I want it, it just goes back to the top. How do I drag a project to where I want it?

Each folder in your library also has its own "keep arranged by" setting, only visible if you ctrl-click the folder. You may wish to inspect those too, also the topmost heading "Library albums has a hidden "keep arranged by".
P.S. learned that from this post by Frank Caggiano: Re: Cannot arrange/sort libraries manually in Aperture 3.1.3

Organizing projects in library inspector (left panel)

Within the library inspector or left panel of aperture, I have what seems like 70 plus projects which makes less user friendly when navigating to find a certain core of folders and albums. Can I place all these projects into a folder that I name something like "Container for all other Projects" that way I do not have to scroll through all those projects when I am looking for my core albums and folders? Will placing these projects into a folder have any effect on other folders, albums, or projects in general? Is there a negative to this type of library inspector organization?
Thanks for reading

Yes you can create a top level folder and place items into it.
Not sure it that answers your question. If not psot back.

Aperture crashing when selecting Project in Library Inspector.

Hi. Three crashes in a row, one even after rebooting. Different Projects selected and being selected. Crashes immediately after I select a Project in the Library Inspector, either by pressing and releasing the down-arrow key or by clicking with the mouse. Projects are newly imported, but have not shown any problems. Each Project that was the one being selected when Aperture crashed can be viewed in the Browser (confirmed afterwards). Aperture normal otherwise. C. 70K Images in Library.
First set of Projects with new camera (Nikon 1 AW 1 — gets my recommendation if you want a submersible camera with better-than-snapshot quality files) — but have not had any problems importing files or viewing Images or videos.
Did change the time-stamps on c. 1,500 Images a few minutes before crashes started. (Is there a dongle-doo-hickey-thing-a-jig that will sync the time settings on multiple cameras?)
Anything to look for?

Aperture library inspector search field searches only project names?

I've been trying to use Aperture 3's Library Inspector search field. It works great if I search for a project name (and I love this feature) but not if I search for part of a master file name (eg "4671"). I was under the impression that a Library Inspector search looks across various fields in the entire library for the search term. Is this a feature? A bug? Is my library corrupted?
(I realize I can search the library by clicking on Photos in the Library Inspector and then using the search field in the browser on the bottom right, but it's too many clicks to be convenient. Maybe it's the only option, though?)

Aperture will search for practically anything you care to think of, but you need to be specific. What you are doing is searching for a Project.
To find a File Name, select a project, look for the little black square and letter Q in it, in the top right of the browser view. This opens a search field. You will see a little label that says Add Rule, click it and there in the list click on Aperture Metadata, then click another couple of times, just for some idea of how powerful Aperture searches are.

"photos" in Library Inspector not showing most images

I have about 21,000 images.
They show up fine in a smart album set to "show all".
They show up fine in smart albums set to various other criteria.
They also show up correctly in the projects.
I was working on re-key-wording some images and have a difficulty I haven't had before.
The problem is that when I select "photos" in the Library inspector, only about 900 images show up. The filter is set to show all. If I set the filter to other criteria, only a subset of the 900 shows up.
I have repaired permissions, repaired the database, and reset the user preferences.
Searching the forum with various keywords, I didn't find any relevant posts.
thoughts?

I had a similar problem with a new library which I created by Relocating Masters. I tried to clear the filter for the Photos folder using Frank's technique but nothing appeared. I then set a filter using Frank's basic technique and pictures meeting the filter parameters appeared. The moral...keep experimenting.

Book no longer visible in Projects tab of Inspector - How do I get it back?

Something happened in a Time Machine backup and although the project I was working on is still visible in the "project tab" of Inspector, the book I designed and printed two days ago is no longer visible. I also had a folder with the photos I was using for the book and it's icon is also gone.
After searching in finder, using the right click and "show package contents," the book is still in the Aperture Library.... it just doesn't show up in the PROJECT TAB of Inspector.
Any suggestions on how to get it to be visible once again? Thanks for any help.

Hi Petria,
Firefox is a web browser. It displays the content of existing sites. Things like email or page contents come from the content provider. Who is the calendar provider? It sounds like this might even be a desktop application and not a web based calendar? You'll probably have better luck consulting their help documentation.
Hopefully this helps!

MISSING LIBRARY / INSPECTOR / FILE BROWSER

Folks,
I have now had this happen on 2 machines. When working with complex projects, Motion would crash - and then upon relaunch it would be missing the library, inspector and file browser windows. No, they are not located outside the desktop area. No, they do not respond to key commands - nor do they show up when you go under the WINDOW menu options and choose from there. Now....they DO SHOW UP after I uninstall/reinstall the entire FCS1 package. But the time involved is debilitating. Now here's the caveat about uninstall/reinstall. The windows show back up in the FCS1 install - when I do the software upgrade from the MAC/APPLE website - a once normally working MOTION no has missing windows just like before.
Is this an OS thing? I have LEOPARD.... but I'm scared! Ha! can anyone give me solutions for motion or peace to upgrade?
Cheers,
Jason

welcome to the posts jason.
At the danger of sounding like a stuck record, have you tried throwing the Motion preferences away. Make sure motion is off, go to your Home Folder / Library / preferences / com.apple.motion.plist and throw it away. then re-boot motion, are they back?

Microsoft.Project.Server.Library missing namespace name 'Office' -Error while building a PSI application using WCF sample code to read calendar exceptions.

Hi,
I have a WCF application to pull calendar exception detail from a Project Server instance 2013. As per msdn links shared below I have added two dlls Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Library , Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Events.Receivers as well as ProjectserverServices.dll
from the server.
On building the solution I am an error, The type or namespace name 'Office' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?).

Hi All,
The issue is resolved!! The Target framework by default was set to .NET Framework 4 Client Profile instead of .NET Framework 4.

Can no longer see projects in library viewer in imovie '08 and need to find a different apple editing program

Can no longer see projects in library viewer in imovie ’08 and need to find a different apple editing program
I had approximately 15 projects that I can no longer see in imovie. I have read almost every thread on this community for imovie regarding error messages associated with looking for clips. In each case I have rebuilt the project. However, today I continually received a message to search for a .dv file. I have located the file and even changed the .dv file to .mov file and yet none of my projects will appear. I have rebooted, deleted the plist and nothing works.
I was planning on buying a new Mac in 2014 with new editing, and use my old Mac as a backup for imovie files. Very frustrated that I can’t work with any projects now! I se the files in my Movies/imovies/iprojects folder but they don’t appear in the viewer.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get back my projects into the viewer? Or, can someone recommend a basic program compatible with imovie 08 that I can use to import my exiting projects into?

No, Wasn't sure if I could continue to upgrade to 9.0.9 since my Mac is relatively old.
Just don't understand why I have to keep starting a project over and over again. As I type this, the imovie icon is jumping and asking for "clip 135-02-05-05;27:15" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly." I have located this clip and pointed imovie to the clip, and nothing happens. I even try to locate the corresponding clip in the event viewer but it is not there.
Today is the first time I have not been able to see my projects in the viewer.

How do I sort clips in the Project panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?

Two questions: How do I sort clip thumbnails in the Project Panel library (bin) alphabetically by file name?
How do I "select" a group of 25 consecutive clips on the time line to form a group without having to click on each individual clip one at a time. The method in the Help menu about "alt" click does nothing for me.

Sorry, I missed part 2. Unless CS4.2 has added a true "Group" function, like in InDesign, Illustrator, etc., there is not a direct way to keep Selected Clips together. However, you can put them on their own Sequence and then Nest that Sequence with others. This is often done, so that one can apply Effects "globally" to that Nested Sequence. [Note: there is no real Group function in Titler either, but for many operations, one can Select multiple Text Blocks, Shapes, Lines, etc., but there is no way to permanently "hold" that group.]
The Alt-click in the Project Panel, for instance, will allow one to drag all to the Timeline, and the Shift-click (or lasso w/ Cursor) in the Timeline will allow one to apply certain things to that group, but the moment that any other Clip is Selected, that "group," does not exist.
I can see a use for a real Group function, but for things like the application of Effects, one would still need to do the Nesting. Test this out by Selecting just two Clips, and go to apply an Effect - you cannot do that. OTOH, one can apply an Effect to one Clip, Rt-click it and choose Copy, then Select multiple Clips and Rt-click on those, where you would Paste Attributes. Not exactly what I think you are asking about, but the results, with just a few clicks, should be the same.
If I missed your intent and need, let me know where I went wrong.
Good luck,
Hunt

"Project or Library file is corrupt" when trying to open XControl

This is not a question, this is an account of my learning experience that I hope saves you from throwing your monitor through the wall.
When trying to open an XControl, I received the following error: "Project or Library file is corrupt"
Knowing Projects/Classes/XControls are all XML files, I opened the XControl using Notepad++ to see what was going on. The file structure is somewhat intuitive, and you'll be able to recognize many components of your library.
I used a binary search approach to find the offending XML by deleting all of the virtual folders, then seeing if the XControl would open. It did, meaning the headers of the XML were fine. Then I took the original file again, and deleted half the virtual folders to see if it would open, and it did not, meaning the offending XML was in a virtual folder I had not deleted that round. I took the original file, and deleted the other half of virtual folders, and it opened. I took the original file, and deleted only one virtual folder, and it opened. Aha! that virtual folder had only 5 items, and I knew one of the items must be the culprit.
Anyway, it only took about 10 minutes to narrow it down to an item that had a duplicate entry, two lines that were exactly the same:
After I deleted the duplicate item, the XControl opened up just fine! No data loss, no corruption.
How did the item get duplicated? Beats me. Could have been the product of a crash, some of my notorious renaming shenanigans, who knows.
Lessons learned:
Version Control (Source Code Control) is a hero, as usual.
Try poking around with the XML if you get corrupt libraries - it may be an easy fix, but your mileage may vary.
Don't even think about #2 unless you have #1 "under control"
Action Item for Applications Engineer: could you point this error to the Owning Developer? I would suggest this type of an error fail more gracefully, or at least with more information. Possibly, this type of error could self-correct silently since it's so easy to diagnose? Watching the library tank due to a benign issue nearly cost me a monitor and a monitor-sized area worth of sheetrock damage. ( )
a.lia-user-name-link[href="/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88938"] {color: black;} a.lia-user-name-link[href="/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88938"]:after {content: '';} .jrd-sig {height: 80px; overflow: visible;} .jrd-sig-deploy {float:left; opacity:0.2;} .jrd-sig-img {float:right; opacity:0.2;} .jrd-sig-img:hover {opacity:0.8;} .jrd-sig-deploy:hover {opacity:0.8;}

I cannot find the result about this topic.
So I recreate a new project file
Hope there is better solution for this problem
thank you all

Why do I get build failed "Can't find project or library" in TFS 2013

Using TFS 2013, VB6, Windows Server 2008R2
Problem:
While performing a TFS build of a VB6 application, I am receiving an error "Compile error in file c:\builds\clsCommon.cls
Line 122:Can'tfind project or library"
Setup:
I have three projects: two VB6 dll's and one vb.net COM Callable Wrapper (CCW) dll. The first project (VB6)
is called MyBase.dll. When I issue a make from the IDE, it complies and builds the dll. When I perform a build from TFS, again it builds without issue.
Next, is my .net assembly. Lets just say it complies and I'm able to compile other applications with it as
a reference. In fact, let me state that I can compile my entire suite of applications and they work when I build them from the IDE. The problem is when I build from TFS
Finally I build the next VB6 project using TFS. This DLL (Called batch) internally references myBase.dll. Inside
my batch project I have a class called clsCommon.cls. At line number 122 inside clsCommon I instantiate an object based on myBase.clsLOGs. Now when I run the TFS build, I get the error that Batch.clsCommon can not find myBase.clsLOGs:
Private g_ErrorLogs AS MyBase.clsLOGs '<---- Line 122 of Batch.clsCommon
That is the nuts and bolts of it.
What I have tried:
Compatibility mode is turned off. I tried to set it to Binary Compatibility, but I get an error that I can't
set Compatibility Mode.
All of out DLL's and EXE's are moved into
a common executable folder D:\PEEPS\bin. When we set references in the IDE, we point to D:\PEEPS\bin. In TFS, the builds drop into C:\builds.
IDE Builds drop into D:\PEEPS\bin
Project references look in D:\PEEPS\bin
TFS builds and drops into C:\builds
Why are we doing builds in TFS if makes from the IDE are working?
Also, to circumvent the issue in the past, we simply took the builds from the developers IDE and gave it to
QA for testing. If everything tested ok, QA gave it to production support for implementation. The problem with that solution is our industry regulators do not want developers to give production EXE's and DLL's to QA or Production Support. They have to be able
to perform their own builds and TFS is our code repository.
Thank you in advance for you help.

SOLVED
Hi John,
Thank you for the reply.
Solved this yesterday (had some other projects to work on had to shelve this for a while).
There is a
dependency structured path to out compiles:
Project A is
dependency for Project B
Project A and B are required for project C
etc
There are about 10 VB6 projects overall. What we noticed is that if you tried to open one of the last projects in the chain, sometimes we would get an error stating it could find one or more of the other projects. The thing is all but one of
these projects were referenced in the (run time) References section of the project and there was no Visual Basic Group so no Project References. So how were the end projects' finding the initial projects? I needed to solve this problem to fix my
TFS issue.
The answer was in the vbproj file. Internal to the project file a class file can be provided:
class=someclassname; ..\projectname\classname.cls
Once I removed the lowest level project as a run time reference and added it as a
reference in the project file, my builds worked from the top down.

TRIM() not found? Compile error: Can't find project or library in Excel 2007

I am preparing to make a few alterations to a spreadsheet that another person built. I have NOT made any changes to it yet.
They put in a button that allows portions of the worksheet to print. I am now using Excel 2007. Their code ran fine in 2003.
The button had worked in Excel 2003- but now (without any changes) throws an error "Compile Error: Cant find project or library."
TRIM is highlighted in the following code: (See below for the whole sub)
If Trim(Worksheets("Measurements").Cells(RowCounter, ColumnCounter).Value) <> "" Then
                If RowCounter > PrintRowMarker Then
                    PrintRowMarker = RowCounter
                End If
                If ColumnCounter > PrintColumnMarker Then
                    PrintColumnMarker = ColumnCounter + 1
                End If
            End If
I have added in the following references into Excel via the big button in the upper left and the "Excel Options" screens:
Analysis Toolpak and Analysis Toolpak-VBA. The sheet "Measurements" is present.
1) Are these the right packages for the TRIM function?
2) Is there a different Add-in that is needed?
3) Is there an additional step I must use to actually add in these packages?
4) Is there something else I should do?
Thanks-
Loralee
P.S. Access 2003 finds (it's version of) TRIM fine- so a version is on the machine. This spreadsheet if failing in the same way on 2 machines- both with Office 2007 installed.
Private Sub BtnPrint_Click()
    Dim RowStarter As Integer      'Where to start checking rows for content
    Dim RowCounter As Integer      'The current row being checked
    Dim ColumnCounter As Integer   'The current column being checked
    Dim PrintRowMarker As Long   'The last row with data
    Dim PrintColumnMarker As Long 'The last column with data
    Dim NoMoreData As Boolean       'Look for a blank record
    Dim RangeValue As String        'Define the range string value
    Dim EndRangeValue As String
    PrintColumnMarker = 0
    PrintRowMarker = 0              'Initialize the row printing marker
    RowStarter = 5                  'Print Starting Point
    For RowCounter = 2005 To RowStarter Step -1
        For ColumnCounter = 50 To 2 Step -1
            If Trim(Worksheets("Measurements").Cells(RowCounter, ColumnCounter).Value) <> "" Then
                If RowCounter > PrintRowMarker Then
                    PrintRowMarker = RowCounter
                End If
                If ColumnCounter > PrintColumnMarker Then
                    PrintColumnMarker = ColumnCounter + 1
                End If
            End If
        Next ColumnCounter
            If PrintRowMarker > 0 Then
            End If
    Next RowCounter
    EndRangeValue = IndexToString(PrintRowMarker, PrintColumnMarker)
    RangeValue = "$A$1:" & EndRangeValue
    Worksheets("Measurements").PageSetup.PrintArea = RangeValue
    Worksheets("Measurements").PageSetup.PrintGridlines = True      'Turn on gridlines
    Worksheets("Measurements").PrintPreview                         'PRINT THAT PUPPY!
End Sub

Appears OK to me but the error message " Cant find project or library." suggests it could possibly be the references in VBA.
In VBA select menu item Tools - References.
Ensure that the following are checked:-
Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library
It there are any references displayed as Missing then scroll down to find the equivalent reference and check it and then uncheck the Missing one/s.
