Safe way to delete unused components...

While experimenting when setting up a 2nd Online factsheet I managed to create a number of new Z components, all of which are not used. How can remove them as they appear in the transport and I do have a strange syntax error appearing which belongs to one of these unused Components.
I could edit the components and remove its contents, which would get around the syntax error issue, but that still leaves unwanted components around. On the subject of deleting the views, some of the Implementation classes for the views of the unwanted components are the same as the implementatiion classes of a view of a component that I do want to keep. I therefore need to be very careful how these components are deleted as I don't want to delete an implementation class that is being used.
Some of the components were Copies of another component and hence the reason why the implementation class has the same name. It would seem that Copying components has a lot of danger attached.

Hi Jason,
If you have copied standard component views and then enhanced the copied views, in this case you can delete the copied views via se80 selecting the bsp application( in this case it will just delete the copied views as you can't delete the standard classes it won't hamper the existing view in any manner).
try deleting the components via se80 wherever you are facing issue.
Cheers,

Why is there no simple way to delete unused reference pages from multiple FM files?

I have hundreds of files in which some, but not all, of the reference pages are not being used. I don't want to open each file and manually click each page and then delete the pages one by one... what can I do to fix this? I think the files were all created with the same template but ironically the author imported graphics (by reference) onto the reference pages. The path to the referenced graphics (which are located on the reference pages) is invalid, and now all the FM files have errors. I am not a framemaker master, so this may be a simple fix, but I can't figure it out. I tried opening a file (file A) and deleting the unused reference pages. Then I saved it as a new file name (file B) and tried to import the reference pages of "file B" into "file A". This did not work. It just added additional reference pages to file A. I just want to be able to generate a list of reference pages for the files and then only delete the ones that I don't need. Please help. Any suggestions???

IF the imported graphics are still being used, then when you open a file with a "missing" graphic, FM does ask where the missing file(s) is located and will use this information when searching for other missing graphics in other files of book. You could try creating a temporary superbook that contains many of the files and then doing an update. Otherwise, deleting "unused" Reference pages doesn't really gain you anything (and you could potentially mess up some paratags if they are using any of the reference frames on any of those pages).
When you import formats into FM files from another, FM uses and additive model, i.e. identically named objects are replaced and new ones are added. Nothing is removed.

Deleting unused footage in the Event library?

I always make an edit of my videos and therefore end up with a fair amount of footage in each event which is not needed any more.
Is there a way of deleting unused footage from a specific project from it's event?

Use the Reject Tool to drag with your mouse over the frames you don't need. They will be marked with a red bar underneath. If you want to reject a whole clip, you can right-click and reject the clip that way too.
Then, select "Rejected Clips Only" in the selection box at the bottom.
Finally, click "move rejected clips to trash".

Deleting Unused Clips?

Is there a way to delete unused clips not used in a project? iMovie has that option, but I can't find it in Final Cut Pro X. Or is there a way to see which clips are used in your project and which are not?

Witih the project open, click the "Page" button in the lower left of the window. If you mouse over it, the tooltip will tell you it is the "Timeline Index". When you open it, by defauilt it will list all clips in use with that project. It will actually show you every "clipped clip". So if you have trimmed a lot of stuff and have 20 "subclips" of the original clip from the Event Browser, you will see 20 clips of the same name.
If you have played around in it, perhaps it will show other information. In that case, just click "clips" at the top and "Video" at the bottom.
It is a very useful little window. If you want to go to a particular clip in the project, just click on it in the Index.
If you have set up titles, click the "Titles" button at the bottom, and you can go to any title by clicking on it.
Similarly, if you have set up markers, you can click "tags" at the top of the window and "markers" at the bottom of the window, then click any name and go to the marker.
A feature I really love is being able to turn markers into "todo" items to remind yourself (for instance) to go back to put in a title, or work on the color correction a bit more, or whatever.
Anyway. More information than you asked, but that's the way to tell what clips have been used.
Unfortunately, having left many things out of FCPX from FCP 7, I guess they felt obligated to leave a few things out of "iMovie Pro" as well, and one of them is that cool colored bar that quickly informed you of what parts of what clips have been used in the project.

Is down loading projects to DVD's a safe way to edit and save?

Yesterday I posted "Is down loading projects to DVD's a safe way to edit and save?". It got deleted. Being a newbe I got it in the wrong forum. I got it in "Post New Thread in Forum Comments". I was asked what path I used; I opened the home page. I ticked Discussions / Start New Discussion. I was so baited by the lure to post, I did not see the small "Adobe Forums" at the top and bottom of the page. I also did not understand the large "Post New Tread in Forum Comments". It was a bit confusing to me. But thanks to you guys I see the light.
I read the discussion I started in "Why do we keep moving Post?". I was branded as a lost soul. I want to thank all of you for helping find my way. No one was rude or even harsh. I have been on other Forums and if you make a mistake you get blasted.
I also want to thank you for all the answers I got for my original post. I read up on SATA and I can see that is where I need to make some changes to my portioned HD. I am sure I will be leaning on you for a lot of help for such a "Lost soul". And that I am. I am your typical 61 year old who got started late on computers.
The fact that my HD is portioned is not a good thing I learned. I am not sure if my computer has the Power Supply or the Mother Board to convert to SATA. My question is: Will eSATA work in place of the internal SATA?
Will I need two; one for editing and one for storage.
I have an outboard I Omega with about 650GB, I think. Not sure if it is SATA, but it has worked well for my backup videos and general files.
Thanks Again and I hope I got it right this time.
I'm timid about ticking the "Post Message" , but here goes......Ohhhhhhhhh.....

The system process in control panel MAY give you some of that information
It should ALL be available with the information the system builder gave you... he DID give you the paperwork that came with the individual components?
Taking the side panel off the case and looking inside with a flashlight might also help... but, of course, you'll need to know what it is you are seeing, and it sounds like you don't know much about hardware, so that may not help much
Sadly, if the person who built this "video editing" computer didn't really understand video editing, you are left with a computer that won't do what you want, and no easy way to make it work
You may need to find a computer shop to do this for you... and make sure part of their price is giving you a written list of everything you HAVE and everything they DO in the way of additions or configuration changes

Restrict Deletion of Components from Service Order

Hello All,
I noticed that I am able to delete the components from the Components tab of a Service Order even after I have completely issued the components.
Is there a possible way to prevent deletion of components that have already been issued..?
I think I can use the Business Transaction RMKL in the system status GMPS. But I guess this will prevent deletion of those components which have not been issued to the service order.
What would be the best way to prevent deletion of components that have already been issued...?
Thanks
Jensibo

Hello All,
I don't know if you all received the last reply I posted against this thread... coz I am not able to find it in the thread. I had asked for your comments on any repercussions that may occur because of this config.
Anyway, the thing is, I followed Narashiman's suggestion and although I did not use the exact config he pointed me to, I used the config in the following nodes:
1.) Production --> Shop Floor Control --> System Modifications --> Define System Message Attributes
2.) Production Planning & Process Industries --> Process Order --> System Modifications --> Define System Message Attributes
and added an entry: Application Area = CN, Message No. = 750-Component & item & was already withdrawn and Category = E.
Having done this, the system did display the "Component & item & was already withdrawn" message when I tried to delete a component that was issued to a service order, but it did not delete the component from the service order. I was able to save the service order with the issued component still in the components tab.
Narashiman,
to specifically respond to your latest reply, I did find the node you pointed me to. But the trouble was that it did not have an entry for CN750 in it. When I tried to add an entry, the system did not let me do so and displayed the error message "Please specify a legal value".
So I went around opening each system message control node and finally found the two that I mentioned earlier that did work for me.
Thanks

How to delete unused audio files in a project?

Hi guys,
The question is fairly simple:
How to delete unused audio files in a project?
I can't manage to find the answer in the manual,... all I could find is how to delete audio outside used regions!
But in the projects I use, I have loads of outtakes which I don't use in the project anymore, and now, I would like to delete them of the audio folder to save space on the HD.
Can Logic select automatically the takes in the audio files folder which are not used in the project and delete them??
Because there is hundreds of audio files per project, and +/- 50 projects, I just can't do it manually.
Thanks,
Fred

Whoops! Yes, I knew that but a cow flew by... Sorry!
The procedure I follow is to do what I described then Save as Project, creating a project folder. That way only the required audio is saved to the folder and I delete all temporary stuff. However, if you have folders with shared material, it's much harder and would require you to go through all your projects doing Save as Project before you could delete your old working folder.
When doing day to day work, best practice is to create a new folder and only use Save as Project when you're working on stuff. Shared material (eg sample libraries etc) can go elsewhere and you can get Logic to copy those to the project folder automatically.
Otherwise, Shift-Backspace in the Audio window, as you rightly say

I HAD AN EXTERNAL WIRELESS HARD DRIVE, I NO LONGER USE IT, BUT MY IMAC AT START UP CONTINUES TO LOOK FOR IT. IS THERE ANY WAY TO DELETE IT ?

I HAD AN EXTERNAL WIRELESS HARD DRIVE, THAT I DO NOT USE ANY MORE, BUT MY IMAC KEEPS LOOKING FOR THE HARD DRIVE AT STARTUP. IS THEIR ANY WAY TO DELETE IT, SO IT WONT KEEP LOOKING FOR IT ?

Boot in safe mode.
Log in and see whether you still have the problem. If you don't, it's caused by one of your login items or a system modification that loads at startup or login.
If the problem isn't resolved that way, other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, and bookmarks in the Preview application

HOW TO Delete Unused Media from FINAL CUT PRO

*HOW TO DELETE UNUSED MEDIA FROM HARD DRIVE IN FINAL CUT PRO.* Keywords: disk disc drive space remove compressor
SUMMARY:
Say your original clip is 10 gigs, you can use only what you need and delete the rest from your hard drive. I know people on the forums say to just buy another hard drive, NO! It took 2 days to figure out but here it is!!! Email me if needed at [email protected]
QUESTION:
I captured 1 hour of video at a time and now want to delete from my hard drive all the parts I don’t want to use. I have 300GB of junk on my hard drive and I only want to use a few scenes using a few megabytes, so that I'll get most of my 300GB back!!!!
ANSWER:
In final cut on Mac, click on one small clip (to get familiar with process), go to “file”, “export”, then “using compressor”. This will open compressor software. Your file will open in the left top window. Then you need to batch the job or jobs. IMPORTANT: I’ve also solved the Compressor problem when you press “submit” to a batch and it states “Cluster: None”. Search forum for “In compressor you experience what I have”.
<Edited by Moderator>

Part of the problem could lie in the fact it's an imovie project coming into FCP, wouldn't rule that out. Second my be the terms you use and what you expect to happen. For example, a subclip is just a smaller clip subbed from a larger clip. It has nothing to do with media management. But you can media manage a subclip and delete the unused media.
Try this (be sure to back up the original clip first). take a long clip into the viewer, make an IN and OUT duration of like 30 frames and then subclip that, Modify > Make Subclip. a new subclip will appear in the browser with a torn clip icon and the name Subclip. Right click on the subclip and choose Media Manager.... Check the Delete unused media from duplicated clip. As you toggle that the green Modified bar at the top change from the full clip size to a tiny modified size. If it does not then one of two things ... user error or the system is screwed up. That's the easiest way to test media manager.

How do I invert a selection in iMovie 11/ delete unused portions of clips

I want to delete unused portions of clips:
In iMovie 11 an orange bar appears at the bottom of a clip to show that that portion of the clip is being used in a project.
If I click on the orange bar, the yellow clip selection extends to that portion of the clip.
I want to invert the selection so that the portion of the clip that is not used is selected so that I can reject it and later delete unused portions.
If there is another way to do that then great...
Thanks
David

I think it might be easier to first finish the project with all that extra video clip lying around and then use the Space Saver to tidy things up. It's under the File Menu and is always done at the very end when you have already Finalized your project.
From the iMovie Help:
In the Event Library, select one or more Events.
To select more than one Event at a time, press Command as you click Event names.
Choose File > Space Saver.
The File menu appears in a light gray bar across the top of your computer screen.
Select any of the following:
To reject all of the video that hasn’t been added to an iMovie project, select “Not added to any project.”
To reject all of the video that you haven’t marked as “favorite,” select “Not marked as Favorite.”
To reject all of the video that you haven’t marked with a keyword, select “Not marked with a keyword.”
Click “Reject and Review.”The view changes to show only the rejected clips in the selected Events.
*Note: This is not the full listing of Help for the Space Saver function but you get the idea. It seems as though Apple thinks it's a much better use of your time to put off the house keeping tasks like cleaning up unused video until after you have Finalized the project.

Media Manager not deleting unused media from HDV (intermediate codec) clips

I have a project which uses HDV footage which I captured using the Apple Intermediate Codec. I now have a bunch of clips that are very large in file size so I'd like to use the Media Manager to delete all the unused footage from the clips. I have tried countless different selections of sequences, clips in the browser, clips in a timeline etc but can't seem to get the Media Manager to show a smaller file size for the processed files based on 'Use Existing' with 'Delete unused media' option. The two size meters at the top always stay the same. Can the media manager trim HDV/Apple Intermediate Codec footage? If not is there a way to get rid of the footage that I haven't used? Thanks!
Ben

I've never mastered MM. If I want a small section out of larger clip, I simply just export that section of the clip using 'current settings'.
Hope someone who has tamed the MM beast will step in here and offer you a better way...
good luck.

All my photos have been imported to iPhoto library. Is it safe therefore to delete all photos in the Finder pictures folder? It seems crazy to have them duplicated (all are backed up externally). And are they full size images in iPhoto?

All my photos have been imported to iPhoto library. Is it safe therefore to delete all photos in the finder picture folder? It seems crazy to have them dupllcated ( all are backed up anyway). And are they the full sized images stored in iPhoto?

Assuming you have iPhoto set to the Default setting, then yes, your full sized photos are copied into the iPhoto Library and so you can delete your own stored in the Finder.
Easiest way to check: Select a photo in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Is it stored within the iPhoto Library? You can tell easily in the Finder's column view.
As an FYI:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

How can we fine and delete unused variables?

Hi , This is Kumar,
I have been working for some Upgrade project. My manager asked me the way to know unused variables which are already declared in the program . But i don't know any special way to find them.
Normally for Internal tables we are using CLEAR, REFRESH AND FREE.
So,
How can we delete unused variables which are already declared in program?
If anybody have any idea , kindly let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
P.N.Kumar.

Hello friend,
in SE24,SE38 and SE80 there is a menu called "Refactoring" which can enable you to delete unused variable defined in your source code automatically.
Of course it is not the only functionality of this poweful tool. Please read the article below:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/2054857b-1b4d-2c10-f7a5-d283a11f6789
I am sure you can benefit a lot from it not only know how to delete unused variable
Best Regards,
Jerry

Best way to delete transcoded and proxy media?

Hello,
I am trying to free up some disc space and am curious what is the best way to delete transcoded and proxy media in fcpx? I know I can open up a library bundle and delete the folder, but is this safe? There must be a better option...
Thanks,
Austin

I don't know of any other way.
Proxy and Transcoded media can always be re-generated if the original files are in place.
If this question refers to your system drive then a BIG suggestion is to aquire a fast dedicated media drive.

Aperture 2 or 3: delete unused masters?

I am upgrading my 2 library to import into version 3. Before doing that I want to clean up my old library by deleting unused masters from the library.In other words: I only want to retain those photos that I have placed into Albums. I can't figure out any way to do this other than export all the individual albums and then import the files into V. 3. I certainly don't want to take the time to do all that. It seems that leaving Aperture bloated with photos I don't want to use is very inefficient, never mind being a space hog.
Anyone got any solutions, in either version?
Thanks

Ian Wood's tool could help but a quick and dirty way in A2 would be to keyword photos that are in albums. A PIA but...
RB
Ps. Ap3 has a search by album criteria that you could use.
