...? Poll ?... Which Import method do you use?

LR has 4 different ways of Importing images.
Which way do you bring in new images...and why that way?
My personal preference is to refer to existing folder/file trees but this would screw up things as I move images from hard drive to CD/DVDs.

1. Connect camera (Canon) with USB to PC.
2. EOS Utility opens and download automatically the photos to a folder on PC which is also the "Watched Photos Folder" of Lightroom.
3. I open Lightroom at same time and import starts automatically and put the files into the "Auto Imported Folder" which I "see" in Lightroom. One preset I use during import and that is renaming the files to YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS format.
4. I edit and sort the photos in one go.
...in the meantime I have still my originals on the CF card as backup...
5. Adding Keywords, Title, Locations and Copyright.
6. "Copy" the photos into Collections.
7. Move inside Lightroom the photos out of the work folder (Auto Imported Folder) to existing folders (based on the event name).
8. Convert to DNG.
9. Backup using SyncToy 2.0 to an external 2Tb-drive.
10. Formating the CF card(s).

  • Which kerning option do you use in After Effects, and which should be the default?

    Which kerning option do you use, Metrics or Optical?
    Which do you think should be the default?
    How would you feel about us changing the default to Optical and creating a new preference where you can set the default?

    OK. Here's where we've ended up for now:
    One of our software engineers is working on fixing the bug that keeps the setting from being persistent. So, if you like Optical, you can set it that way once and it will be the default for new text layers created after that.
    We're not going to change the default right now. Our thinking is that fixing the bug makes it so that the people who want Optical only need to change it once, and we should continue to match Photoshop and Illustrator with their default. Also, Angie makes a good case that even if Optical is the right solution much of the time, having the default be Optical will cause people to miss out when a type designer has done the right thing and done the pairs correctly for the Metrics case.
    We'll revisit this decision if it turns out that our incremental step of just fixing the bug isn't enough to satisfy everyone.
    Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

  • Which server model do you use?

    Folks,
    Which server model do you use with Dreamweaver.  ASP, PHP_MySQL or ColdFusion?
    Is anyone still using ASP.Net or JSP with DW?
    In your opinion, which of the three server models is best supported by DW CS5 and which one needs most improvement?
    UltraSuite

    David,
    First of all let me say how impressed I am with your contribution to the Dreamweaver Community.  Your tutorials and other resources are most impressive and I am sure they are appreciated by a lot of Dreameaver users.
    What you have said about PHP is precisely what I have heard from people via private emails.  That is why I recently released a package of simple but frequently used PHP extensions.
    WebAssist seem to have done a great job and I am sure I'll be no competiiton for them or anybody else.  For me this is more like a hobby. That is why when I had the market for server-side extensions, all to myself, I still kept giving away a lot of free extensions.
    I remember in the early days a fellow Dreamweaver sent me an email saying that he had found the MagicSuite on a couple of Chinese servers.  I went to take a look and two servers traced to Shanghai mentioned more than 20,000 downloads each of the MagicSuite, which was free anyway.  This was just within days of a book that was published in Chinese in Taiwan and which (with my permission) had discussed each of my extensions with screenshots, etc.
    Sorry for going off on a tangent.  Thanks for your reasoned response.
    J.S.

    I don't like this approach too much actually.
    I prefer Adblock Plus for Firefox and Privoxy for everything else (uzbl).
    Edit: @Procyon: I didn't find privoxy to be slow nor complex. Could you elaborate what you mean?

  • Which Import method is preferrable .....

    Hi All,
    I want to upgrade my database from 8.1.7 to 10g rel 2.
    Can anybody would please tell me that which method is most appropriate and accurate to upgrade the database?
    Which method is most efficient to get the optimize solution?
    Another issue is our oracle 8.1.7 database is having WE8ISO8859P1 Character Set along with WE8ISO8859P1 National Character Set.
    So which Database Character set as well as National Charcter Set would be preferrable against 8i database character set that is mentioned above for database upgradation ???
    Regards
    Milin

    You have two questions which are really unrelated.
    As for which method would be most appropriate and accurate to upgrade your database, I would absolutely recommend export/import method over migration (upgrade scripts). I tend to stay away from migration method because of various bugs and other problems. And, you typically will leave obsolete and deprecated features in place when you do a migration (especially from v.8 to higher versions). A couple examples I've seen are continued use of rollback segments, dictionary managed tablespaces, and use of permanent tablespaces for a user's temporary tablespace assignments.
    Stay away from migration (using upgrade scripts) unless your database is so large that it is not practical to export/import.
    Instead, install all the latest 10g software, patches, CPUs, etc., and then precreate your shell database modeled after your old 8i database. (Obviously don't use rollback segments tablespace, or other deprecated features.)
    Then, use your 8i software to export your old database, and then use your 10g software to import your data into the new database (full import). Be sure you precreate all your tablespaces of sufficient size before you do your import.
    Hope this helps...

    I just read Madrid's response and we obviously have a difference of opinion. While I certainly respect Madrid's postings and opinions, I'd be curious why he favors upgrade (migration) over export/import.
    As for the character sets, unless you have a compelling reason to go with unicode, the WE single byte character sets will be fine for quite a while into the future.

  • General Forum Question: What Contact Synch Method Are You Using?

    This is a question directed towards all forums members using SynchManager to synchronize B2B customers between Web Tools and SAP Business One.
    Of the four possible methods listed below:
    - WebTools UserID Field
    - Email Address
    - BusinessOne InternalCode
    - Seek and Choose
    Which one are you using to synchronize your data?
    We're trying to decide between Email Address, BusinessOne InternalCode, and Seek and Choose.

    Hi Micheal,
    I can not tell you what people are using, but the pros and cons are as follows:
    Webtools UserID (the exposed field on the BP contact)
    This is the best option if you are willing to do the work of setting this property for all of you users in a meaningful way.
    Pros:  Allows you assign a meaningful login name for users of the website
    Cons:  You have to assign he userids (a lot of work if you have 10s of thousands of contacts)
    EmailAddress
    Pros:  hopefully, everyone knows their email address.  So this is a meaningful login name.
    Cons: B1 does not require email address, so the user will probably end up with an OCPR ID if they don't have an email address.
    B1 internal code
    Pros:  it always works
    Cons: no wants to be a number.  Your login name will be "1234", password = "whydoIhavesuchahorriblelogin"
    Seek and Choose
    I consider this the best option, unless you have a better algorithm to populate NPUserID than described below (let me know if you do )
    The seek and choose routine works as follows:
    1.  if they have an NPUserID, user that
    2.  if they have an email address, user that
    3.  use the B1 internal code
    Pros:  User will have the best possible login name. 
    Cons: You do not know which option the user ended up with
    One last note:
    v630 (p10--or whatever we are calling it these days), has added a login name to the Webtools user.  This addresses the glaring problem of not being able to change login name.  Now the user can change their own login.  (why did this take 5 years?).  Hopefully, this will make this decision less daunting.

  • Which String method would be used to...

    Which string method (maybe it's not even a string method) would be used to change user input for example from:
    User input: Brandon Bell
    Changed to Bell, Brandon
    Thanks.
    Brandon Bell

    Which string method (maybe it's not even a string
    method) would be used to change user input for
    example from:
    User input: Brandon Bell
    Changed to Bell, Brandon
    Your question is very vague. What are the exact requirements? Are you assuming that the inputted string is a first name and a last name, separated by a space, and you want to change it to last name comma first name?
    If so, the methods indexOf and substring will be enough for a first, naive implementation. With that in place you might want to ask yourself:
    Will you allow the first name to have one or more spaces? Will you allow the last name to have one or more spaces? Etc, etc.

  • Which www daemon do you use, and why?

    I currently use apache, but have been looking into lighttpd lately. I have read some very good things about its performance.
    What www daemon do you use?
    Why do you use it?

    I'm not a httpd guru (read: I don't need any special features), but as for now I use lighttpd as my small web server. It's pretty simple, yet robust. Configuration is a breeze, everything's in one place, documentation covers all the important things in a nice manner. Moreover, benchmarks show it to be more efficient than apache, although it doesn't concern me that much ;-)
    Apache is obviously a good piece of software, but with robustness comes the complicity. Like not even being sure what's the compress module for apache2 (*points at cactus*) ;-)
    I've tried lighttpd solely for fun and, well, managed to set up some things I wouldn't even bother to set with apache (i.e. I wouldn't bother to browse all those modules docs, seeking the right thing).

  • Which mail agent do you use?

    a while back we had "what http daemon" and "what ftp daemon" do-you-use posts...
    so I'm curious about mail agents... qmail? exim? the dreaded sendmail?

    Courier-MTA (as a whole set of programs) is most complete which means you don't have much work finding other elements for your mail server. They are already there and work together very well. The minus is the lack of practical documentation (comparing to other MTAs) and some kind of orthodoxy in implementation (some people think it's not practical).
    Exim is also a very good and well designed MTA with nice and easy to read docs.
    Postfix does not look so orderly but it's probably the most configurable. The docs are a bit spread over the web but the amount of guides and howtos is probably the highiest among all big 3 MTAs (check out some MTA mailing lists - it's probably most popular MTA so naturally most weird config has already been tried by someone).
    Most if not all of the typical tasks can be done using any of the above.
    If this is your first MTA and you want a simple setup and at the same time you don't want to spend time on searching and tweaking components of a mail server (POP, IMAP, webmail etc.) choose Courier-MTA. Courier-MTA is probably the least popular among the big 3 MTAs (but not because of its quality).
    If you need more from MTA and want good examples of working configs but your setup is not very complex and you are not the type of person who likes to write lots of scripts choose Exim.
    If you want some special configuration, tons of examples and docs and have time to dig in it and customize to your needs (in other words you want it as flexible as possible), choose postfix. Postfix is very often a choice of internet providers.
    The above is only my opionion based on my experience and is only an advise for fubar (so don't flame! I'm burnproof :-))

  • Which 1GB memory do you use for your iSight iMacG5?

    So please let me know what memory you have and where you got it. Thank you!
    By the way, will memory become cheaper during thanksgiving?
