OSD: different pxe, question about different wim-files

Hi,
Please see this question, I'm somewhat confused about the different
wim files.
I can see the default winpe.wim and a different wim next to it which has name winpe then environment then number (winpe.sccm0022.wim), what is this file.
And, like in my post, why can't I use this image to import into a pxe and boot from that?
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Hi,
What is your goal with this? boot to SCCM and do OS deployment or what is your purpose? when dowloading the boot .wim file from a DP parameters are passed along like MP and so on. So you cannot use that .WIM file and pxe-boot from another PXE solution and
do OSD from ConfigMgr.
That is why Johan's unsupported solution would be the way to try it.

Basic question about importing wma files

Hi, I have a basic question about importing wma files. I ripped some cd's on a Mindows computer using Media Player, but now want to copy them to my Mac and use them in iTunes on my Mac. when I use Import in iTunes, nothing happens and I cant even seem to copy them one by one using the Music folder.
Can someone help me?
thanks
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.4)

iTunes for Mac doesn't support .wma files.
If you can use a PC to convert them, you can use one of many freeware applications. Google for 'wma to mp3'.
For the Mac there's the shareware program EasyWMA that can convert them.
Hope this helps.

Some questions about importing HTML files

Hi, folks
Let's suppose we want to import a pack of HTML files formatted in HTML5 wit's it's CSS into a double-oriented folio. A couple or three questions about that, please:
1. Is there a limit for a reasonable quantity of HTML files I can import into a folio? I mean.. 100 would be way too much, for instance?
2. These HTML files could be navigated and referenced from inside TOC-pages made in InDesign,right? (navto://..., I gues?)
2. Will it be possible, by means of HTML adaptative design techniques, to treat both orientations (vertical and horizontal) as different viewports or screen sizes so that the design adapts for instance the column width with its CSS?
3. That said, will the InDesign final app. respect that adaptative CSS rules?
I am asking this because we are looking for a way to inject big quantities of content with a very similar design into our application in a really fast and automatizable way and I have the suspicion* that importing HTML5 preformated CSS files could be the a very good and simple alternative to importing XML into InDesign templates as we start out content as tagged almost-html files.
Thanks a lot
Gustavo Sánchez (Posting from Madrid)

I assume you are asking about using HTML articles.
1. There is no limit beyond simply keeping things reasonable.
2. Yes. Just use navto://articlename
3. Yes. I've used min-width of 768 and max width of 1024 to control it.
4. InDesign does not enter into any of this with the exception of using the folio builder panel. Everything else is done in Dreamweaver or whatever program you decide to use for the article.
If you want to restrict the HTML articles to one orientation or the other, use the _h and _v suffixes.

Questions about "Diff Sequence File With..." function

Hello,
I've started working on a project where I'm maintaining a piece of older code written by a since-departed employee of my company. It's a TestStand 3.0 sequence file calling on Labview 7.0 code. The thing is, there were two of these installations done at different times and, somewhere in the woods between stations 1 & 2, the code base diverged. Part of it was due to not being able to get exact duplicate hardware for the PXI chassis and part was, apparently, due to the fact the client used the 2 machines to test different UUT models.
So, I'm looking at copies of the installed code base on the two machines using the diff feature in TestStand. (If it makes a difference, I'm doing this viewing in TestStand 3.5 since TS3.0 has mysteriously gone corrupt on me at the moment on my main development computer and, if memory serves, you have to uninstall all the later version of TS to reinstall an older version. An altogether fun process, no doubt, but a little time consuming.)
Anyway, the first thing I notice is that very many of the sequence steps have different Step Properties.Step ID values that look something like this: "ID#:2vMTp0db002mQDXArddRSA". Messing with the diff screen showed an option to "Ignore Unique Step Ids" which got rid of these. Regarding these unique step ID's: When are they generated and do they remain constant on a particular machine? Beyond mere curiosity, I wonder because another diff is in some of the "On Pass Target" or "On Custom Condition True Target" under certain Step Properties and the value under there looks suspiciously like those unique ID's (i.e. ""ID#randomstuff""). Are these all dynamically updated at runtime or will I break something by changing those (say if I copy a sequence from one version overwriting it in the other)?
So, I filtered the unique ID's out. The next large area of difference is that many, but by no means all, Labview VI calls have a difference under Step Properties > Flexible Labview Adapter Properties > ViCall > Connector Pane Checksum > Value. Also, in a few other instances, ViCall > error out > Connector Number is different as well. Does this indicate a different underlying VI?
There are a few other differences, but I can interpret those. My goal is to get one sequence file for both machines so the code will be easier to maintain. I do think that some of the VI's with different Connector Pane Checksums may be different between the two installations since one of the different hardware components required a different driver library. This leads to a third question, what does it take to use identical sequence files when the underlying VI's might differ? Is it just the interface needs to be the same? Like the connector pane has the same geometry and data types for the exposed inputs and outputs?
Thanks for any help,
Mike
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just got off the phone with NI support, so no worries on the answers.
Short versions:
The unique ID's are regenerated when a sequence is copied.
Teststand doesn't need higher versions uninstalled to reinstall an earlier copy.
Connector Pane Checksum implies a different underlying VI, but having the same connector geometry/inputs/outputs/types should allow you to have a different VI for different installations without different sequence files.
Still waiting to hear back from support on whether the goto pointers get updated properly when a sequence or portion of a sequence is copied.

Few Questions About Backing Up Files

Okay, I'm pretty new to this, and have checked the support pages, but I do have some questions about backing up my files.
I'm running out of room on my computer's hard drive, and am wondering if burning the library to CDs will allow me to quickly restore my library on my computer when I sync my iPod.
I know that when an iPod syncs with a comp, it will lose any songs that aren't on the library list. (If I deleted some songs to free up room, I'd lose those songs on my iPod when I synced it up.) Is there a way to prevent that from happening? Some way to save a headache continuously restoring my iPod's library every time I want to add a new song or recharge it?
I'm on Windows XP, if that matters.

Best and easiest solution is to buy an external hard drive. Then simply drag and drop your iTunes folder from your internal onto the external and copy the entire library.

Question about calling batch file by using the System Exec+.vi?

Hi
I have a problem about calling batch file. I know that the system exec is equivalent to "run" in Windows. I called the batch file c:\rtxdos\bs\ch0.bat successfully in the "run" but it didn't work in the LabVIEW program. The dos prompt had an error message "Bad command or file name" and it just happen when I call this batch file in LabVIEW. Why?
Bill.

Hi,
Try to set the "working directory" parameter of System exec.vi to the directory where the batch file is located. It may help.
Good luck.

Question about long audiobook files before I buy Zen Mi

I am in the market to buy a hard dri've MP3 player for the purpose of playing audio books. Specifically, I want to download audio books from my local library's netlibrary account and listen to them on the go (these files are 32kbps DRM WMAs). These files have caused problems for two different players I have tried, due to their long length (most files are over 00MB, and play for 8+ hours). I have an old iRi'ver flash player, which will play these files fine, until you get about 4 hours into the file. Then, when you turn off the player, the time elapsed jumps from where you were to 2 hours or so. What this means is that you can't listen to the entire book unless you play the book for its entire duration without stopping it or turning it off. I next tried a Rio Carbon, but it has a different problem. Every time you turn off the Carbon and turn it back on, it will lose it's place in the file by 0min-hour, depending on how long the track is and how much you have listened to. The only ways around this is to either never turn the player off, or write down the time elapsed before you turn off the player, and then fast forward to that time when you turn the Carbon back on. After fighting with it for a week, I returned the Carbon.
So my question is, has anyone actually used a Zen Micro to listen to a very long audiobook, and does it have any weird issues like I have experienced with other players? All I want the thing to do is remember where I left off when I power off the device, within a few seconds.
Thanks

Lots of people have audio books on their micros and i havent head of anyone complaining about them. one good feature the micro has that i believe other dont is the ability to place book marks in a song/audio book at a set time so you can automatically go to where you want without searching.so you could save the book marks for each chapter or something.

Question about Custom Shape Files from newbie to PS

My husband bought me PS CS4 Extended. That said, I have never used PS at all. I have always used PSP. Please don't hate me!
I have figured out that one loads actions and presets. OK, got that. The question I have is if I can have my Custom Shapes and Actions on a completely different partition? I ask this because there is not enough room on the partition for me to continue adding shapes and such to PS in the program itself. I am figuring that I can since I have tio load them into the program anyway, but am asking to be sure so that I don't screw anything up.
Another question I have is if I am able to point PS to where all of my plugins are that I already have installed in PSP, which also happen to be on a different partition. In PSP all one has to do is to point the program to where they are and all is good and they can be used within said program. Does PS allow for this also? If not, do I have to re-install all of the plugins into the PS program itself? I just don't have that much room on the partition that my PS resides on because of all of the other pregrams that I have. Also, does everything I load into PS just stay loaded or do I have to reload each time I want to use that particular preset?
I do hope that ya'll can understand my questions and thank you for any help in advance.

the benefit of having the presets in the proper folders is that you can select them from the fly-out menus instead of having to search for them using the Load command so yes, you can have them wherever you want. I doubt though that you don't have enough disk space for them, for instance, all the actions that come with Photoshop take up about 200kb, the custom shapes are about 700kb but that's because they come in duplicates. And yes, all that you load up stays in Photoshop until you remove them, no need to reload them at program start. For plug-ins you have the option to set an additional plug-in folder by going to Edit->Preferences->Plug-ins, don't know about needing to install them though as i don't use any

Question about replacing corrupted file in windows 7

hi,
I read in windows 7 bible that if a system file is corrupted , I can replace it with system recovery tool (at command prompt) if I have onother computer with windows 7 installed.
my question is here , if I replace any file with copy the file from computer to dvd and replac it on my computer , does the windows version must be the same for 64 bit or it doesn't a matter.
thanks
johan
h.david

Hi,
Yes, the version must be the same. You may be able to get a known good copy of the system file from another computer that is
running the same version of Windows with your computer. For different versions there may be different configuration settings in the files that you operating on which if replaced with the wrong version might cause new issues.
More information regarding How to manually replace a corrupted system file with a known good copy of the file, please check it in the link:Use
the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
Hope this may help

Question about media player files on websites

Hi, I'm a mac newbie (3days now) and loving it. Starting to think why did I wait so long. Anyway exuse me if my question sounds dumb. Sometimes when I'm on websites windows media files won't show up. Do I need some type of download or plugin?

Well those are both odd. Office programs would not open anymore even though Flip4Mac did NOT install?
I have Mac OS X 10.3.9, QuickTime 7.0.4 and Office 2004 - and I haven't seen those problems.
Try logging in as a different user (if you don't have another user account, you can create one Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts > + ) and see if Office apps work in that account and also if the Flip4Mac installer works there. If it works there, then you have some preference file weirdness in your own user's Library folder.
If Flip4Mac still won't install, you could also try manually removing the Windows Media Player browser plug-ins from (your hard drive)/Library/Internet Plug-ins and / or try installing the older version 1.0.2 of WMV Player. The link is at the bottom of this page:
http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm
Then try reinstalling the newer 2.0.2 version if that worked.

Three questions about signed jar file and applet

I use three signed jar file. Each of them signed by different certificate. First of JARs contain applet class. When I start applet from html page I see message “This applet was signed by…… but Java cannot verify it… Do you trust…?”. All times I press “Yes I trust” and after this questions applet stop to work end exit. If I use only one certificate for signing of three JARs then applet continue to work after question. 1) What should I do to fix this bug? 2) Is it any method to check from applet that user press Trust button? Is it any method to emulate work of SecurityManager to check that Certificate object is trusted (I want do call some method check(Certificate) and if certificate is not trusted I want to see message with question: “Do you want to trust this certificate” and so on)?

Hello Jarman,
1. If I have a signed jar file, then as long as the
certificate is recognised as trusted that applet can
run as a fully trusted application on the client
machine. So I should not have to add lines such as
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission
"readFileDescriptor", "read" ;
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission
"writeFileDescriptor", "write" ;
to my java.policy file. true/false ?true
2. If I am running a signed jar file in the Java
plugin then I do not need to have a verisign or thawte
certificate (however to allow my certificate to be
accepted I do have to import it into the cacerts file
on the client machine). True/false?true
3. Following on from question 2, if I want to be able
to run an applet on a client machine, without messing
around with ANY files on those machines, I need a
verisign or thawte certificate. True/false?true
4. (And finally) Apart from a security exception
saying that I need to add one of the lines like those
of question 1, is there any way I can get other debug
information as to why the signed jar file is not being
recognised as signed?No. This could be a problem of importing your certifcate into the wrong place.
The information on the following link is a little bit dated but it helped me to successfully install a testcertificate and sign an applet with it.

ANOTHER question about moving referenced files.....

After reading through most of the posts I could find, I am still not finding the answer to my question. I assume it's simple, but I'm a (second-guessing?) LR2 convert, and while I love Aperture's UI, I'm really struggling with file management.
Here's how I like to work. Insert card into reader, and copy the folder (100CANON) to my desktop. Open Aperture, import all the photos from their current location. I like to edit, keyword, rename, etc at this point.
Let's say I had 10 photos in that folder, 5 of my dog, 5 of my car. Here's where my confusion begins:
I want to select the 5 dog photos, and move their physical location to my Pictures/Dogs folder on my hard drive, as well as to my Dogs project in Aperture. I try 'Relocate Master', which moves the file to the desired path on my hard drive. Unfortunately, the thumbnail still resides in the 100CANON project.
So therein lies my question, if I want these dog photos in the Dogs project I now have to drag the thumbnails from the 100CANON project to the Dogs project.
That seems like extra steps, and I can see that causing a lot of confusion, especially when trying to sort a folder with images that need to go in several different projects. I can't help but think I'm missing something obvious - why can't I go into my 100CANON project and drag the thumbnails to the appropriate project, and have the finder path update as well?
Save the "you should let Aperture manage your files" discussion, I'm not interested in that. I need to use referenced masters.

JF wrote:
what do -you- do with your photos when you import them?
I take the CF card and Finder-copy the contents to a hard drive where they will ideally live forever. Then I eject the CF card (very important error-avoidance step). If the folder contents are not a single shoot at this point from the Finder I review the folder to see if I want the images to comprise more than one project; if so, each project is split into a separate folder with its own name.
Next I back up the folder of images which is labeled something like "101113Buckleymstrs." 101113 is 2010/Nov/13, Buckley is the job/project/event and mstrs indicates those images are the Masters. The backup folder is named "101113Buckley_mstrsbkup."
Note that at this point and forever I can Finder-search for the date or for the job/project/event or for mstrs or for bkup to find images. No Aperture involved yet. Also note that the year/month/day format at the start of the file name properly alphabetizes the folders by date on the hard drives. Most of the files on my hard drives are done that way.
Next I start to import into Aperture by reference into a new Project named "101113_Buckley" using the exact nomenclature used for "101113Buckleymstrs" except without "_mstrs" appended. If Aperture irrevocably lost the link to the masters I could Finder-search on the "101113_Buckley" and find them. At this step before import I review the pix Aperture is set to import and uncheck any obvious duds before clicking to import. The duds remain in the masters and backup folders but I do not care because hard drive capacity is cheap while my time and improved error avoidance have significant value.
I always shoot RAW+JPEG and sometimes I make two Aperture Project imports, one of the RAWs and another of the JPEGs: "101113Buckley_mstrsRAW" and "101113Buckley_mstrsJPEG."
For specific issues like "dogs" I use keywords to create Albums. Or if Buckley is a construction project, for instance, over time multiple Aperture Projects related to the Buckley construction will be created, all of which will point to a Buckley Construction Album. Other albums might be "Buckley Site Work," "Buckley Foundation," etc. Albums are very powerful and take up essentially zero space because they are comprised only of pointers.
I assume you're letting Aperture manage them? I think the issue is that I'm not ready to let Aperture take control of my library.
I manage every image very intentionally, using the tools Aperture makes available.
Do you have random folders strung out all over your Pictures folder with the various imports you've done over the years?
Folders are not random. They are sequential (which is how photos by definition always occur) and they are named identically to the corresponding Aperture Projects as noted above.
It boils down to this for me. I have preferred being able to navigate a file structure within LR to find that one image I'm after. Yes, I realize I could search for it by keyword, whatever, but sometimes I might not even remember how I categorized it. I used to do commercial interior shoots, and had them labeled by address. It's nice to traverse a folder hierarchy if you need to, and it seems like if I turn over control to Aperture I'd be giving that up.
I understand the need some folks have for what I call "film-think" or "folder-think." If you must use folders IMO best is to do it with the Masters before going into Aperture. Within Aperture IMO folder-think is debilitating to optimal use of the images database tools.
I analogize each Aperture Project to a roll of film that occurred at a point in time (an hour or a day or whatever). It gets dated and named in the hard drive archives and in Aperture. Aperture's pointers and key words allow us to create an infinite variety of Albums without relocating the hundreds of original Projects/Rolls of film.

Question about 1080p MP4 files as inputs

Hello All,
It's been a long time since I visited last. I just ordered a Sanyo FH1 camcorder to try out for the first time. I have been trying to use hybrid cameras for HD clips to go along with my photos in integtrated photo/video shows, but have been disappointed with the IQ, sharpness, and motion when playing the files on my PS3. I usually use ProShow for slideshows, but want to go back to using PREL (I have 7.0) when I have more clips than pix. Will it handle these FH1 1080p60 files as Inputs? I understand that PREL 7 does not output a full 1080p file, but would like to start working with it again. Any experiences would be helpful...
Jay B.

Jay B
I would have to dig out the details, but several months ago I did bring 1080p60 into the Premiere Elements 7 Timeline and was able to edit it successfully, realizing, as you do, that there is no export for 1080p from Premiere Elements. I would give it a try, using the Premiere Elements 7 project preset (New Project dialog) of NTSC AVCHD Full HD 1080i30 (or the PAL counterpart). That does not prohibit you from making a different export choice.
I did some reading on your camera, the Sanyo FH1. In the Full-HR mode, it looks like it offers the 1080p60 (1920 x 1080 pixels at 60 frames per second, progressive). But, it appears you have an alternative in the Full HD mode of 1080i60 (1920 x 1080 pixels at 60 fields per second (30 frames per second), interlaced). It will be interesting to see how they compare. Whichever way, from what I have read, the capture is to an interlace sensor in the camera, before it is recorded to the camera's medium.
I am just an explorer in this, but my initial venture into this "can Premiere Elements 7 handle 1080p" indicates Yes.
I will be looking forward to your results.

Question about changing a file type into another file type

Hello. This isnt a java question but you guys have been so helpful in the past I hope its ok if I ask this question for a friend.
How can I import a scriptware file into Screenwriter 2000, or change a .scw file into a .tag file?
Anyone who can help thanks.

I know nothing about scriptware or Screenwriter. But, my only advice is to see if Scriptware can export some other file type (not necessarily a .scw file) that Screenwriter can read. Sometimes, when I have two text editors whose native formats are incompatible (like opening a paper typed in a new version of Microsoft Word using an old version of WordPerfect or something), I save the file as an RTF file, rather than in the native format. Maybe something like that applies to your situation, too.
Hope that helps.

Question about reducing PDF file size on export

I have a large file that is generates a PDF about 75MB when exported with the "[High Quality Print]" preset. However, I can reduce the size down to to under 5MG in Acrobat if I use the Tools>Flattener Preview>[Medium Resolution] setting (image attached). Is there a way to generate this smaller file directly from InDesign? I couldn't figure out how to do this with InDesign's Flattener Preview or Export options, but it is very likely that I missed something.

Eugene Tyson wrote:
When you choose Smallest File size, it is still using the PDF 1.6 setting.
Change this to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) this will automagically flatten the PDF - which means you shouldn't have to do it in Acrobat.
That should get you a nice small file size, I believe.
Flattening transparency in InDesign will not necessarily yield a smaller PDF file size. Transparency flattening will not automatically convert placed vector artwork to raster images unless that vector artwork is actually involved with transparency. And even then, whether you end up with a smaller file depends on a number of factors.
If the reason for the very large file size is indeed very complex vector artwork and you are willing to sacrifice quality, conversion of such vector artwork to raster might yield a significantly smaller exported PDF file. To accomplish that conversion, I would personally suggest converting the most offensive (in terms of file size and complexity) of such files in Illustrator (assuming that they were .AI files) and exporting them as .TIF files (to avoid the potential imaging artifacts of JPEG compression).
