Reconnect modified source file to project

I faced with a problem - have created large enough project, from not proper framerate source file (what i noticed later). I know that it can't be made simple way, but maybe someone have any ideas - how to reconnect modified source file (with changed framerate ) to project?
Appreciate any ideas.

Frame rates have to match or it won't work.

Reference source files outside project folder

My company wants to create one large help project. However we don't want all the HTML source files to be stored in that project. We want to store these files in another folder outside of the project. I'll try to simplify the situation.
I created a "RH Test Project 1" with a topic called "Welcome." When you look in Windows Explorer in the RH Test Project 1 folder, you'll see all of the files RH creates (.xpj, cpd, hhk, hhc, etc.). The "Welcome.htm" file is also in the RH Test Project 1 folder.
I actually want this "Welcome.htm" file to reside in a folder I created called "RH Test Project src." If I copy the Welcome.htm file to my new src folder, my project contains a broken link, as expected. I don't want to import the welcome.htm file because that creates a copy that goes right back into the RH Test Project 1 folder (essentially I would have a "Welcome.htm" file in RH Test Project 1 and RH Test Project src folders). All I want to do is to be able to reference the Welcome.htm file. I want to be able to edit and work with this file in RoboHelp but I don't want it to reside in my project folder. I want it to reside outside the folder.
Desired structure:
RH1 Project
-- RH1.xpj
RH2 Project
-- RH2.xpj
Source Folder
-- Subfolder 1
-- Welcome1.htm ( I don't want either welcome.htm topics to be in the RH1 Project or RH2 Project file structures)
--Subfolder 2
-- Welcome2.htm

Rick,
The scenario at hand is to have a single set of source documents that can be bundled either as one large project or many smaller projects. The issue with putting everything in one location (sub folder) is that there are over 25,000 topics to deal with and scrolling through them and managing them, as well as the performance when opening RH, is problematic. What we as developers are trying to do is model the RH solution after the Microsoft Visual Studio paradigm where the source files are all included in a project, yet come from different locations. If I get a tax break for having a house with an address in Arizona yet built in Florida, why not build it there? It seems to work quite well with boats registered in Delaware but not anywhere close to that state!!
Suppose I have the simple case of three projects I need to deploy separately for one client, yet as a single output for another? The file structure we’d want would be:
C:\RH\Project1
C:\RH\Project2
C:\RH\Project3
C:\RH\Project_ALL
C:\RH\SOURCE
Based on current understanding, you are telling me that I need to have
C:\RH\Project1
C:\RH\Project1\Source
C:\RH\Project2
C:\RH\Project2\Source
C:\RH\Project3
C:\RH\Project3\Source
C:\RH\Project_ALL
C:\RH\Project_ALL\Project1\Source
C:\RH\Project_ALL\Project2\Source
C:\RH\Project_ALL\Project3\Source
This means I need to manipulate changes to a file in multiple locations rather than sharing the source. If this is indeed what needs to be done we can manage that using symbolic links and images of the files, but in this case our file structure goes from 25,000 files to well over 150,000 as we have 7 projects we support.
It just seems to be a ridiculous limitation that source must reside under a project rather than in a set location as every other development tool we use (InstallShield, Microsoft Visual Studio, HP Mercury, et al) can handle this.
That being said, your time and input is appreciated.

How do I relink iTunes source files to Projects in iMovie 11

I moved my iTunes library and all the songs in my iMovie Projects unlinked and will not play. How can I relink those files?

Export to DV Stream and then use the .dv file with any version of iMovie.

? Installer uses exe or VI source files

In LV2010 I want my installer to use the executable file and not the individual VIs in the project. Am I missing a setting in the installer build here? Please explain. See the attached pics.
Proj 1 is a LV2009 build that uses the exe for the installer build.
Proj 2 is a LV2010 build that uses LV VIs for the installer build.
It appears I'm unable to force my LV2010 project to use the exe as its source file instead of the many individual VI's from the LV2010 proj. Is there a setting in the project I'm missing?

Thx for the response, I compared my projects further and discovered I built the Exe for each project different. Each project has subprojects that I set Destination (Source File Destination tab) to the Exe file in one build and the other build I set the Destination to a folder named after the subproject.
When the Installer is built for the latter case (i.e. subproject outside the Exe in a folder), the Exe and individual subproj VIs are shown in Source File View of the Installer. I would think the Installer, Source Files tab, Project Files View to show the Exe and subproject in there respective folder destination, the installer doesn't keep the subproject folder layout, instead it dumps all subproject files into the Exe destination folder, although Destinations Tab is set for a folder not inside the Exe.
So I'll set the Destination of my subproject for the Exe and not a seperate folder.

Can I change original source files in the project?

I have a project which has become very disorganized over the last year of editing due to PPs poor ability to effectively share sequences/projects across multiple computers. My assistant editor used a different computer and so the links in the sequences point to multiple "source" files in the project (some in imported folders). However, there is ultimately only one original video clip. The problem is that Premiere Pro won't allow me to delete the nested versions of the source files without also REMOVING the clips in each of the sequences that uses them. For example, the project folder looks like this:
- Original File Folder
-- videoClip-001.mov
- Imported File Folder (imported on one of the many exchanges between editor and assistant editor)
-- videoClip-001.mov
- Sequence version 1 (Uses the second video clip, not the first - although they are ultimately the same video file)
If I delete the Imported File Folder, which only has a mirrored reference to the same video file as in the Original File Folder, then the clip in Sequence Version 1 dissapears. What I expect, rather, is to see a "missing media" message in the sequence so I can reconnect it to the version in the Original File Folder. But I can't. BIG HOLE in Premiere Pro CC.
Why do I want to do this? In a large project with hundreds of video clips, keeping order is very important. With the sequences using multiple "versions" of the same video clip, that order goes down the tubes and it becomes impossible to work.
Thanks for your help.

I don't know of any way to clean up this project, but in the future, don't import the project, just import the sequence. That will not create duplicates.

Rebuild of Project not building all source files

Using 9i, I cleared all .class files from my target directory structure and then requested a Rebuild (right click project.jpr, click Rebuild project.jpr) of the entire project. I get a result that says there is one error (expected) and five warnings. When I look in the target library structure, I see that many of the .class files are not there.
I then do the same procedure for each package name (I'm showing the list of .java files using the Show Categories option), right clicking and rebuilding each package (over 50). This produces all the .class files.
Then, I can request a Rebuild of a given package on a subsequent date and JDeveloper will indicate that it compiled each of the source files in the package, but the create and modified dates of the .class files still show a previous date.
Can someone give a clue of what is going on? I expected Rebuild to build every class from every source for the entire project, when requested at that level. It certainly is NOT doing that for me.

I don't see anything on the Compile options that I would expect to affect this operation in this way.
No Ant involved. I'll just deal with it. I was hoping someone from Oracle might stop in here and be familiar with the issue.
As it is, I'm talking about recompiling a bunch of code that hasn't even changed. I just found it odd that it would report that it was compiling it, but not have any visible evidence to support the claim.

What the.. where the.. Can't reconnect media files??? Source file info gone

This is bizarre. Many files went offline and now it won't tell me what is offline to reconnect.
picture....
http://www.redmoonlight.com/Picture3.png
Out of this 90 minute video, there are two 5 minute sequences that went offline. (I'm color grading every 5 minutes of the whole project using Color.) At some point without realizing it, it went offline and now the auto save doesn't have the file old enough for me to recover. (In the auto save vault, I just changed my # of copies per project from 40 to 100!)
My files are still on the drive (they were never moved!) but the source names are lost in Final Cut's sequence. A couple of files within the sequence with the offline file are still online. I don't know how 95% of the sequence went offline while the other 5% didn't.
I'm able to look at my original sequence (before exporting to Color) to compare I'll have to import the file one by one and then sync it up. HUGE TIME CONSUMING!
How did the media source name from my clips vanish? (I still love FCP.....)

Thanks for the response.
I haven't moved any media files. Even if I did, I could easily reconnect the files.
The problem is the clips in the timeline and browser lost it's metadata on the name of it's source file. The clips has no idea what the original file's name was. In the picture, the list of offline files won't list. It has no idea what to look for.
I'm reconnecting them one by one. Here are the steps I have to take to get back on track:
1 - Go to last sequence (before send to Color seq.) and see what the clip looks like
2 - Find the media on the drive and get it's original name
3 - Go back to FCP and manually relink it.
This has happened before but only to a couple of clips which was quick to fix with this same method. I'm wondering how the clips lost it's info?

Files modified outside of RoboHelp project

Here's an odd problem. Instead of updating files in RoboHelp,
a trainer in my office has been using Dreamweaver to update the
output files directly. (Going into !SSL!\Webhelp and editing those
files instead of editing the files in the project and regenerating
the help.)
In addition, there are a great many new things (documents,
links to external files, etc.) that are linked to the modified
files. A help file that I created ended up being tacked on to the
whole thing via a link on the intro screen instead of being merged
into the TOC like the other help modules. (The person who created
the original help system is not the person who has been maintaining
it for the past two years.)
As a result, the topics in the RoboHelp project do not
necessarily match all of the topics in the current help system.
This is now on my plate. In addition to making sure that my
colleague attends a RoboHelp training class, any advice on the best
way to clean this up?

Hi Cindy
Oh dear oh dear. You have quite a task ahead of you!
I'm sure there will be many folks that will raise their
eyebrows after reading what I'm about to suggest. But I'd have to
say that if you aren't totally sure about what has been updated,
you might be safer by simply copying the WebHelp output files and
overay the project source files. After you do that, there will be
much cleanup work involved. Fortunately, I've developed an article
that should help with this task. You can read it by
Clicking
here.
In my opinion, the only other real option is to methodically
compare each topic with the source topic to ascertain if it has
changed. This could likely prove far more tedious and time
consuming than it would be to do what I suggested earlier.
Regardless of how you choose to proceed, you should ensure
you have a good backup on hand.
After you get it all sorted out, it's time for a really good
lesson for your "helper" about the difference between
source and
output files. Perhaps a human parallel to the old analogy
about feeding oats to horses is in order. You know the one. You
feed oats to the horse. That's like creating WebHelp. The oats go
in one way and come out, ummm, how shall I put this? "Processed".
So as you might imagine, the "processed" oats won't be nearly as
appetizing and nutritious the second (and subsequent) passes
through the horse. Tell the "helper" that if they insist on working
that way, you are going to force them to eat "specially processed"
oats for lunch every day until the activity stops.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

How can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans?

I'm sure this simple and a pretty common operation but how can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans? Right now I keep cut, coping and pasting the same source file between multiple projects to re-use the same code. But I could I make this source file a library file or something like that so that I could access it from any project. I assume this would be a generic operation but I mentioned NetBeans for clarity. Thanks.

If anyone wants to be specific about NetBeans I welcome that too.

Create a class library.
Write your code, compile it to .class files, put those class files in a .jar file and include the jar file in the classpath whenever you want to compile a project against it.

Identify modified date/time and name of SOURCE file

I can't seem to find a way to store/retrieve the last-modified date/time of the SOURCE file (as well as filename) used to create a PDF. I looked into the default metadata, but it seems to store only the last-modified date of the PDF.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm a little slow, but I would need more detailed specs on how to solve the problem. Is this something you have implemented yourself? If so, how?

RH Project Structure - Source File (*HTM) - advise pls

Hi All, (running RH X5.0.2 on Windows XP SP2)
I transferred & inherited an 'unstructured RH HELP s/ware
documentation system (*.chm output) and I'm trying to determine
upfront the best way to organize, share and manage the projects for
chm help, documentation & translation/localization.
I'm a Newbie to RH X5 but not tech. authoring etc, but
gaining experience fast, such as editing/updating existing (legacy)
projects - building them out as .chm projects - though I intend to
advance to shared outputs i.e. printed docs etc in good time. But
How?
My output (.chm's)62 chms and 54 in the other with approx.
2800 - 3500 topics - has various requirements, but the main being
its shared between 2 major branded products i.e. 'Product 1' and
'Product 2' - Product 1 being the flagship and the forerunner..
this causes soo much hassle as the S/ware products are sold or
INSTALLED in so many differing variations/permations.. so you have
to be very aware of what’s what and goes with what variation
of install - time will improve this..!!
I've found Conditional Build tags useful at this stage to
define each products content - for inclusion/exclusion!
Where as the predecessor preferred to do it the long/hard way
and recopy the Topic(*.htm) file and segregate it in another folder
(unfortunately, usually leaving the same filename and then edit the
Product 1 data for Product 2's requirements.. (Conditional text has
helped this..). ever heard of SIngle Source authoring ..?
However, there are a magnitude of repeated, duplicated topics
through out the total help system, becos of the above and I wish to
bring law & order to this non share friendly file structure -
ex BroadVision user speaking - and have the following question..
1. Do the source files, (*.htm) files, have to be
stored/located in same folder as the RH project (*.xpj).
Could you place the source files in a separate location,
away from the .xpj.. i.e. on a drive labeled F:\\Source Files
(HTML)\HOUSE projects... Then have on the local drive i.e. D:\, the
individual projects (*.xpj's) in separate folders, such as GREEN
HOUSE, RED HOUSE, WHITE HOUSE projects which are all linked to 1
copy of Source files (HTML )?
I hope the output from each separate project will build out
with the same .chm filename but contain the according Green or
White house data?
This would allow just 1 lot of source files with differing
types of HOUSE text/data - but conditioned appropriately could
provide multiple deliveries separately & version control?
Please say yes - although it’s not necessary for it to
work across separate drives/networks but it will be desired in the
future...
2. The second and quicker way I assume, would be to use
multiple project files in the same complete RH project and design
the projects files accordingly - prod1_RED HOUSE.xpj and prod2_RED
HOUSE.xpj then treat the xpj’s as separate projects and
include/exclude topics as you want...
3. The first is friendlier when collecting all *.htms from 1
drive and posting for translation I think – instead of having
to mine the HTM’s out of each folder? Agree
4. Also can anyone advise on the amount of work (damage) I
will have to do depending on which way I decide to structure the
source files/projects - as the existing projects (64+) are all in
self contained individual folders .... would prefer not to be left
with more work.. than what I'm actually achieving!! (Ref. to
Deleting and then re-importing all the topics in as file reference
have dropped…. like F/Maker?
I welcome all ideas or any suggestions please Help.
Hope to hear from people soon
Sim
BTW - Wished my company had bought Vers. RH X6 - seen the Toc

Hi Colum,
Thanks for you reply - however I think you might have
misunderstood my question(s) or general intention.
You stated;
> 'However you can (and indeed should for a project your
size) organise those files into a series of folders. For example
your project folder can have any number of folders with relevant
topics in them. Set-up these folder in RH via the File > New
> Folder menu item in the Project tab and then click and drag
the topics into them. It is much easier to organise topics in this
way.' <
But Colum when you come to build this 1 project, based on
your suggested structure above, this would build out as just 1
finished final file - VERYBIG.chm. It would not allow for
variations of the install - (hence the reason I've 64 chm files).
Each feature or most of the S/ware menu commands/options are
in their own project/folder.. and that supplies 1 chm.
What I am asking is it possible to create more than 1 project
& .chm, say 10 projects/.chms from 1 lot of htm files. A more
accurate example may be required... see below:
I've 1 Folder called 'MY DREAM House' that contains all htm
files, and has 10 subfolders labeled as below with supporting
content:
1. Foundations/Ground Works - contains 10 htm files listing
how/why foundations are required & built.
2. Wall & Brick work design - contains 10 htm files
listing how/why
3. Doors/Windows design types - contains 10 htm files
listing how/why
4. Ground floor design/ rooms - contains 10 htm files
listing how/why....
5. 1st Floor Design / rooms - contains ... 7 htm files
listing how/why....
6. 2nd Floor Design / rooms - contains ... 17 htm files
listing how/why....
7. Electrical Systems /Design - contains 22 htm files and so
on....
............ Up until 10 individual Features (in separate
Folders), with the supporting HTM files, for the HELP design of MY
DREAM House....
Now you have three House Developers that require the HELP
formatted & specific Terminology their way.. i.e. 3 different
customers, but who all need the same general text/pics & but
differing Languages. So there are at least 3 deliverables involved
now
And each customer/client is not getting a complete
publication of all 10 Features - jobs required.
For Customer 1
You want to design the project (Customer1.xpj) to include
only Floor Design files - all 3 folder which totals 34 topics.. and
they receive it in 1 chm.. called DREAM HOUSE.chm
Customer 2
You want to design the project(Customer 2.xpj) to include
only Electrical Systems /Design & Foundations/Ground Works
files - 2 folders containing 32 Topics - in 1 finished file called
DREAM HOUSE.chm
Customer 3
your favorite customer - You want to design the project
(Customer 3.xpj) to include all 10 Folders/Features (not RH HELP
folders i.e. folders), supplying all the topics in a structured RH
TOC order just as the others have been, but with topics excluded -
but he gets over 80 topics in 1 file called DREAM HOUSE.chm
Separate OUTPUT folders
Of course you would require each .xpj to build out to a
different location such as Customer 1_Tender OUTPUT, and Customer
2_Tender OUTPUT and so on.. as the file names being the same would
be confusing.. (preferably I don't want to have to keep flicking
the generate Build conditions each time and have to remember and
adjust manually!
I think this may break down my requirement a bit better.
What I have just explained is my companies products
(software) being installed, but in all of there variations, scaled
down/lite version, major install or flagship fully paid up install
(Customer 3) and the .chm filenames are the same so the menu
cmd/registry entries call the file .. and the htm files remain in 1
place ready for copy to translation..
Do you understand what I'm trying to achieve now, with this
greater detail?
Please anyone feel free to HELP or offer comments
Thanks again

FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?

FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?
As an animator, I am constantly modifying and overwriting movies files that have already been imported into the Final Cut time line. In FCP7, I could easily modify and update movie files and have those changes appear in the timeline without the need to reimport and re-edit those clips, but FCPX seems to lose it's connection with any modified or overwritten file, making all the editing work I've done to these files worthless.
Does anyone know of a way to reconnect to a modified or overwritten file? Because, this one single issue makes FCPX completely worthless to me.

Hard Drive Setup for Source Files, Media Cache, Project, Render, etc...

I am working to set up the following drives:
C: SSD for OS and Programs
D: RAID 0 (Three SATA II F3's) for Premiere Projects, where I render too, and Encore Projects
E: RAID 0 (Two SATA III WD Caviar Blacks) for Source Files, media cache, and preview files (if i can get the Marvel controllers/SATA III to RAID that is)
External HD USB 3.0 for backing up projects
Should I be doing this different?
Does anyone think it would be better to use SDD drive(s) instead of HDDs? I

We're almost there Harm, thanks! I'm about to indicate this as being "Answered"
More explicitly, are you suggesting it would look like this?
C: SSD for:
OS and Programs
D: RAID 0 (Three SATA II F3's) for:
Premiere Project
Where I render project too
Encore Project
Source Files (Per Harm's suggestion)
E: RAID 0 (Two SATA III WD Caviar Blacks) for:
Media cache
Preview files
Pagefile
Is two RAIDs more ideal? That is (provided the above configuration is correct); does the pagefile, media cache, and preview files need to be on a RAID?
Should I partition a piece of my E and use that for the pagefile or pagefile, media cache, and preview files? If yes, which? and how much of a partition should I create?
When setting the pagefile, should I set all the other drives to "none" (except the E of course)?
Lastly, regarding my E: drive for media cache, preview files, and pagefile (assuming all this is supposed to be on a different drive). Would I be better off using an SSD for that? Or should I keep my E: drive HDD with RAID 0? I suppose it will depend on what's more important, read or write speed. If read speed is more important than I can get an SSD for under $200 that will be really fast reads. If it's about writing then my WD's in a RAID will be better. So, which is more important for these things, writing speed or reading speed? If the SSD would be a solution for the extra files then I’ll have this set up:
C: SSD for:
OS and Programs
D: RAID 0 (Three SATA II F3's) for:
Premiere Project
Where I render project too
Encore Project
Source Files (Per Harm's suggestion)
E: SSD for:
Media cache
Preview files
Pagefile
F: One SATA III WD Caviar Black for:
Extra Backups and stuff
Thanks Harm, I'm about to have an unprecedented editing experience I think! Finally, after more than 7 years!

Saving all source files in a project to earlier version ?

What is the quickest way to save all the source files in a project to an earlier version?
I know that I can do it with individual files, but is there a way to do all at once?

Sure, just do the same, as you save VIs for previous version. In the Project Explorer Window select File -> Save for Previous Version...
