Possible to customize/organize Environment Layer List?

Hello everyone,
I did a quick search for this topic on the forums but couldnt find anything (still havnt gotten the hang of apples search features I guess). I also couldnt find any info in the manual, so I'm hoping you wonderful Logic gurus can help me out!
I'm currently redoing my Template to have access to all possible instruments/sounds, some of which require their own routing system with auxes, multi-instruments etc. Thus I have placed many of these instruments in their own layers (i.e. Stylus RMX layer, Kontakt 2 multi layer, DKFH multi layer, MIDI Instruments layer, etc). The problem is that the layers are listed by "last created" in the environment while alphabetical in the arrange listings, which always makes me "double take" when looking for an instrument quickly (which can be quite distracting).
Is it possible to organize the layers listing by either make the environment list alphabetical or better yet put them in "custom order?" I guess in worse case I can use numbers to correspond with the "last created" method implied by the environment, but thats not a very good organizational method IMO.
Thanks in advance for any help/tips you can provide on keeping your environment organized!

I suggest creating your new layers starting from the bottom of the layers list as it currently exists. You can create new layers in one of two ways:
• selecting *CREATE* from the layers list. This ALWAYS creates a new layer at the bottom of the list (keeping in mind that the *create* thing will always be the last thing in the list regardless)
==OR==
• selecting an existing layer and using the Environment's local menu Options>Layer>Insert. The behavior of this function is such that it will always insert the new layer ABOVE the one you've previously selected
A few fine points:
• The ALL OBJECTS layer cannot be moved or deleted. It is "protected".
• You can hide the ALL OBJECTS layer by unchecking the option in Prefs>Display>Other
• The order of the layers in the Environment cannot be changed once created. The only way to accomplish this is by inserting a new layer at the desired position, cutting (I don't recommend copying) all of the objects from original layer and pasting them into your new layer. However, don't attempt a mass transfer of multiple objects from one layer to another in a song where you've already got lots of music recorded. You could be in for a nightmare. But if you need to do this because you absolutely need to be more organized for your work, cut/paste the objects one at a time from original layer to destination layer. It's possible I'm being over-cautious here, but I've just had too many nightmares in the past. So the above is a conservative approach.

  • Is it possible to export a file from Organizer with the list of all the images in an album?

    Is it possible to export a file from Organizer with a list of all the images in a certain album? In filling one of my albums I did not save my edited images to the same file... they are spread out a bit.... Now I want them to make a book with them (outside of Elements).

    As far as I know, Elements does not have the ability to create lists.
    The solution to your problem of making a book outside of Elements is to place all the desired photos in an Album and then select File->Export->As New Files which gives you the ability to make a copy of every photo in the album in a new folder, from which you would create your photobook.

  • Is it possible to clear the entire Bookmarks list at one time in Safari for Windows?

    Hello. Is it possible to clear the entire Bookmarks list at one time in Safari for Windows? I would like to continue to use the Safari browser even though I have Windows 7 as the operating system on my notebook. When I try to delete bookmark entries one at a time, after deleting several, errors start popping up in the browser. Can I reinstall Safari without the Bookmarks I've built up? Please help a humbled Safari user.

    Are you sure that you can change the permissions of symlinks themselves? I think I've tried to make files read-only via symlinks on a local server but ended up using bindfs because it wasn't possible. Even if you can, symlinking everything that might be necessary for a given environment would not be ideal, plus I don't think symlinks can be used across different filesystems.
    If a real-life human can figure out if it's he/she is in a chroot and break out of it, then he/she can write a script to do the same. I want a sandbox that could run malicious code with no effect on the system (if that's possible). Also, I think if the chroot idea were truly feasible, makepkg would have been using it for years already to simply install packages in the chroot as you normally would and then package them. There would also be several sandbox applications that could run applications safely. So far I have yet to find any.
    I admit that I haven't looked into using a chroot in detail though and of course I may have missed some application which creates such a setup. Right now I think using per-application namespaces with fuse seems the most promising but I won't know until I've finished implementing a test application. If it turns out that it's a dead end I'll take harder look at chroot but it really doesn't seem to be able to do what I want.

  • Purpose of "Refresh Organizational Environment"

    Hi,
    I have a workflow which is working fine in development. But in quality, when the approver clicks on Approve, it is showing error "No administrator found for the task". From sdn, I found that we have to "Refresh Organizational Environement" to solve this problem. I tried to find the reason for this but couldn't find it. Please tell me the possible reason for this error and what is happening when we Refresh the Organizational Environement. Is it necessary to refresh the Organizational Environment for each and every user in the system. If we have to "Refresh Organizational Environement" for each and every user in the system, what is the best way to achieve it?
    Regards,
    Jubish

    Correct, once a day. How & when: deceptively simple - since HR data includes a validity period, it's cached with today's date, so at midnight it becomes invalid.

  • Is it possible to customize the halftone screen/angle used by the HP Laserjet 5000/5100

    Hi
    When sending an image to print on our 5000s and 5100s I'd like for the printer to apply a halftone screen of 85 (frequency) and 45 (angle). However, the driver properties only has two settings - Standard and Enhanced.
    I took a look at the PPD and found the following:
    *%=== Halftone Information =================
    *ScreenFreq:  "106.0"
    *ScreenAngle: "45.0"
    *ResScreenFreq 300dpi/300 dpi:  "60.0"
    *ResScreenAngle 300dpi/300 dpi: "45.0"
    *ResScreenFreq 600dpi/600 dpi:  "106.0"
    *ResScreenAngle 600dpi/600 dpi: "45.0"
    *ResScreenFreq 1200dpi/1200 dpi:  "180.0"
    *ResScreenAngle 1200dpi/1200 dpi: "45.0"
    I had hoped that simply by changing the screen frequencies to "85.0" it would do the trick (since 85 does not appear to be outside of the printers' capability). However, it resulted in no changes to the prints. I know (or at least think) the changes were "seen" by the print driver because I changed some of the text that it uses in the property boxes of the print driver and those changes appeared (e.g. I changed "Standard" to "Standard 2" for one of the halftone descriptions).
    My question is... can I customize the frequency/angle used or are these values fixed regardless of changes made to the PPD?
    Thank you.

  • Is it possible to add a logo layer to an H264 video

    I just found out the following Adobe FAQ :
    quote:
    Q: Does the H.264 implementation in Flash Player support
    alpha channel?
    A: No. Our first implementation does not support alpha
    channels using H.264...
    Would that means that it is not possible to add a logo layer
    to an MPEG4/h264 video

    Unfortunately, fading out at the end and fading in at the beginning does not create a seamless loop, since there are a few moments when the clip alpha is 0% and everything is completely black.This might be ok for some situations. But for creating a seamless loop, I need to have something, well, more seamless.
    Actually, I think I may have come up with a possible workaround to simulate a true seamless loop of an embedded video (at least get closer to it) by placing a still image (which has been converted into a movie clip) of the first frame on a new layer at the last frame, and then copying that keyframe and pasting it about 25 frames before the end, then alpha fading from the first keyframe to the final frame.
    It is not perfect, but it's something.
    Perhaps someone else might have a better solution?

  • R12 Time Card - Is it possible to add criteria for Choice list?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add criteria for choice list created using HXC_CUI_CUSTOMn_V?

    You actually have a choice of both Norsk Nynorsk and Norsk Bokmål.
    First select your text then:
    +Inspector > Text (T tab) > More > Language > Norsk Nynorsk / Norsk Bokmål+
    The method is to label the language you want to spell check with its native dictionary. So having done the above, when you spell check it will now use the Norwegian dictionaries.
    see p 115 +Working with Spelling Suggestions+ in the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu.
    If you don't see the Norwegian options it is because you haven't added them in the International preferences in your System preferences:
    +Menu > Finder > System Preferences… > International > Language > Edit List… > Norsk Nynorsk and Norsk Bokmål > OK+
    If you drag them to the top of your language list they become the System language. If you leave them lower down they are available in other menus such as Pages Inspector palette.

  • Default Environment layer ?

    Hey, does anyone know how I can specify which Environment layer gets new objects if/when they're created by Track->Create Multiple... ?
    I've played around with inserting and deleting layers, and I haven't yet found a reliable way to control where these new objects go.
    Thanks!

  • Logic "Environment" Discussion List?

    Please consider creating a new "Environment" discussion list in the Logic forums. In my humble opinion this area of the Logic application warrants a focused discussion. In fact if enough traffic is generated I would also hope to see sub topical discussion lists. For example, the transformer and fader objects are highly robust Environment objects that deserve their own lists. Also, I'd love to see a "User Tips" sub topical discussion for the Logic Environment.
    Thank you for your consideration.
    Cheers...

    My CS3/PS has started to change the cursor into a line of three VERY small icons when dragged over a picture or menu. Thus it is VERY difficult for instance to drag a layer in the layer list to the wastebasket - the cursor simply is too big for the waistebasket icon. Even all other exact work is impossible.  Of course I have checked all the cursor presets but nothing seems to help. My OS is Windows7.

    Have you tried resetting Preferences?
    A logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
    To reset Preferences:
    If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
    A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

  • Possible to customize #{bindings.Delete.enabled} checks at ADFBC level?

    11g ADF Faces w/ADFBC
    Is it possible to customize the checks for a Delete binding at the underlying EntityImpl or ViewRowImpl level?
    On my page I have a table within a panel collection. On the panel collection's toolbar I have a button tied to a Delete operation on the iterator that provides the table data.
    I want the Delete button to be disabled for certain rows based on various data checks. (In my case, checking to see if the DB row is referenced elsewhere in the DB.) Is there some EntityImpl or ViewRowImpl method I can override to perform this check?
    (I know I can override remove() to check and throw an exception, but this would occur after the user has pushed the button in the web page.)
    (I also know I can get the desired effect to work by creating a method on a backing bean to grab the selected row from the table and invoking my custom checking logic on it. However, I wondered if there was a better way to work with the ADFBC framework to accomplish this.)
    Thank you for reading my question.

    One way of doing it might be to create a transient attribute in your VO that returns true or false based on whether the row can be deleted.
    Then in your page have the disable property of the button based on the value of this transient attribute.
