Sections and Titles in Slideshow

I hope to be putting together a slideshow covering about 600 pics from a trip.
Would like to "chapter" or section out and title each location, to identify what the viewer is looking at, e.g. Ketchican, Sitka, (you guessed it - - an Alaska cruise). Does iDVD include such a option?
Also would like to use different iTune music for each section'
Using iDVD '08 and iPhoto '08;
Thanks,
Mike

Mike:
I suggest you useiMovie HD 6 to put together the slideshow. You can add chapters in iMovie HD 6, use multiple audio tracks, crop them, fade them in and out and/or overlap as needed. iMovie will let you create titles on those slides you want to use as transition/title slides for the different parts of the show.
Click to view full size
iMovie HD 6 was made available to iLife 08 users because iMovie 08 was dummied down to make it easier to just get a slideshow out without much added control.
Once completed in iMovie you can add the slideshow to iDVD.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Comments and Titles for iDVD slideshows

I am wondering if there is any way to change the appearance (font, size, etc.) of the comments and titles for photos in an iDVD slideshow. I have not found a way to do this, and am surprised since it seems I am able to change appearance for the text in virtually all other areas of iDVD. I am running version 7.1.2. Thanks for any suggestions.

No, there's no way to modify that font or size.

Uploaded my site, Safari it works 100% in Fire fox the text becomes default and the interactive sections are laid wide open and frozen, the slideshow not there with overprint of four headings?

I ve created a website using adobe muse for a client, and due to his hosting company had to covert and upload site to html and use a third party ftp loader FILEZILLA. The site is www.sin-connections.com. This works fine in Safari, but not Firefox. all the interactive accordions are frozen and open, the slideshow banner at the top has disappeared and only the four headings are overlaid each other. the font has gone back to default Helvetica. It looks like any interactiveness has not been accepted, Ive been told that chromium works but not explorer as well. Ive come to the end of my ability of working this out. Can any one help me please. I ve used Adobe muse before ,for my site and had no trouble with it (www.andrew-bailey.co.uk) .

Hi Zak, thank you for your reply, firefox has javascript, and the funny thing is that whilst creating the site in Muse, that I was testing it in Safari, Firefox, Chromium, and IE and it was working fine, hence why I continued the site. It was when I moved over to a third party Web hosting company, EUKHOSTS, and that my client decided to use the linux route that possibly it went all pear shape. The ftp loader on the muse failed to work despite technicians saying there would be no problems, I then had to create http pages and file them in the same folder and use FileZilla to download the site. on Safari the http index page works 100% alongside all the other pages whereas the FIREFOX page has the problem explained to you.
My own site was done using MUSE and I had no problem with it, it works using all kinds of browsers. Not being technically minded I thought Adobe muse would bypass a lot of the technical fiddly work - that you guys seem to be great at !

Sections and Automatic Table of Contents

Hello there,
I have encountered a problem with InDesign while trying to make an automatic TOC for a journal I am working on. It has something to do with Sections.
So I have a book with several indd files. The very first indd file is called "frontpages" which includes the cover page, the inside cover, the leaf page, then two facing pages for the table of contents, then followed by the last page (Letter from the Editor).
This is followed by my second indd file called "newsbeats" which has 5 pages.
Now, what I wanted to do was mark the frontpages' page numbers using lower case roman numerals (i, ii, iii, etc.) Of course I do not want to include the cover page and the inside cover, so I want to start (i) with the leaf page, (ii) and (iii) marks the table of contents pages, and finally (iv) for the Editor's Letter. I did this by starting a section at the leaf page, START PAGE NUMBERNG AT: 1, and selecting the (i, ii, iii...) option. It worked, while leavingboth the cover page and and the inside cover with markers (a) and (b), which I previously set (because I do not know how to just get rid of the page number...)
Now, my book pages actually starts page (1) in the first page of the "newsbeats" document. So to do that, I made another section on the newsbeats first page, START PAGE NUMBERING AT: 1, and selected (1, 2, 3...). That works, too.
So at the moment, I have 3 sections to my page numbers: 1) the lower case letters (a, b) section for the cover page and inside cover, respectively; 2) the roman numerals section (i, ii, iii...) for the leafpage, table of contents, and Editor Letter; and lastly, 3) the arabic letters (1, 2, 3...) starting from the newsbeats document all the way to the last page of the last indd of my book.
Hope it is clear enough. Now here comes the problem:
When I try to create an automatic Table of Contents, it correctly finds my chapters (i used the style for each journal article's title) and lists them. The problem is, the page numbers do not appear correctly. Instead, it shows "a" on EACH AND EVERY table of contents ENTRY. I tried some trial and error, and found out that the pages shown (a bunch of "a") is actually the COVER PAGE'S (a) page number....
I tried for hours searching on topics like "Sections and Automatic TOC" or "How to selectively choose which pages to include in a TOC".. But I found none.
Your help would be really appreciated. I can easily manually type the page numbers (my journal only has 9 articles), but I wanted to do this in a very systematic way, so it would be a lot easier if in any case, there are more than 9 articles for next year's publication.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
- Larry
PS: I attached a file showing the generated table of contents (on the ii-iii page that I wanted it to appear on), with the frontpages page panel, which shows the page numbering as well. Also I included the Book Panel, so you see how the pages are set up.

We definitely experienced the same issue. Seems like pages just get lost. This is the approach I took:
On the groups main page we just added a link called 'View All Articles' wrapped in a h1 tag (to make it very big and visible to the user) using the following url:
search/?q=%20
The resulting page will search for every article with a space in it and return the results. Still not the most elegant solution but it works. I'd like to implement it right into the xsl file but haven't found very much documentation to aid in this.

IPhoto Crashing - Recovering Albums and Titles?

I installed iPhoto 6 with about a half dozen problem photos. These photos were set in an album for me to review. After exiting from iPhoto and reopening the next day I had continued crashing. After about 1/2 hour with Apple Care I was able to reinstall my library of photos - minus all titles and albums. My photos are also out of order (no longer chronological). Does anyone have a solution on how to re-import my photos with album and title detail?

Give this a try:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
If this doesn't restore the book I doubt if there's anything the Genius bar can do to recover it thru the database files. You may not even be able to delete the corrupted book as just clicking on it to delete may crash iPhoto. If that happens you can either try creating a new book in the library or the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
The above will take less time than taking your MacBook Pro into the Apple store. But that's just my take of the Genius bar when it comes to iPhoto libraries.
Also you should strongly consider implementing a backup strategy ASAP. If you don't you can count on losing file sometime in the future either from a software crash or a hardware failure, i.e. drive crash. The easiest backup strategy to implement is to get an external hard drive and use Time Machine to backup your entire boot drive. Time Machine comes with every Mac and is located in the Applications folder.

How to set Menu and Title functionality for a remote control in a menu?

I have a main menu (countries) and under each country there is a submenu (regions). When I play my DVD on my Mac it seems to function alright:
If I go to country C and hit the "menu" button, nothing happens (I see the "action prohibited" line popping up). And nothing should happen of you hit menu in a submenu. Only if you hit Title/Top menu you should be able to go to the main menu.
However... When I play my DVD on a DVD player (and I tested it on 2 different ones) and I go to a the Country C and hit the "menu" button, I am suddenly transfered to Country A. And if I go from the main menu to Country D and I hit the "menu" button, I go to... Country A. The menu button seems to be linked to the first submenu. Which is very odd!
So there is definately something going very wrong when using the menu/title buttons during playback when I am in a submenu (not while playing a track).
Can someone help me? Is there a way to define what happens with the remote control buttons menu or title when you are in a submenu and NOT playing a track? I can not find any controls for that.
Thanks!

Does this mean I should select "not set" in the general tab at the dropdown menu's for Title, Menu and Return in the Remote Control section? I can't find any other place where I can select menu or title.
But if I set these to "not set",the menu and title buttons still work in simulation mode... So I guess I should do something else in order to disable menu and title? Sorry for the amount of questions from my side!

Book numbering properties window – Section and Sub-section grayed out

In FM 12, I have a book composed of one front-matter file and 9 chapter files. The chapters (1-9) auto-numbered without any problems and pagination is correct. I want to add section and subsection numbers. Within each file I added autonumber format tags to the headers used specifically for section and subsection titles on the first chapter page and autonumber format tags within the body of the chapters. The autonumber tags are –
<$chapnum>.<$sectionnum>\t
<$chapnum>.<$sectionnum>.<$subsectionnum>\t
for paragraph tags Heading 2 and Heading 3, respectfully.
When I select numbering in the book file window and click on either the Section and Sub-section tab, the windows are grayed out. I know I'm missing something obvious. I've gone through help files, manuals and tutorials for hours and can't find what I need. Any advice about where I can look to sort this out?
Thank you.

Almost, but not quite. FM books (now) have the ability to specify internal Folders and Groups. You can then assign (i.e. move) the relevant FM files into these structures to create more of a hierarchical structure in the book - see: Adobe FrameMaker 12 * About books and also see: Numbering in Hierarchical Books « TechComm Central by Adobe
Once the file is assigned to a folder or sub-folder, then the section and subsection numbering properties become available for that file.

Sections and conditional text

Hello.
I work with technical documents that are translated into 5 languages. This documents have 16 main sections. I would like to put, in the footpage of any page, the name of the section. I know that I can enclose this 16 sections with the Numbering and sections options, but just in one language. I would like to put in the section marker name some conditional text (1 label per language): Introduccíón (spanish) Introduction (english) and so on. Is it possible?
Another easy way to do it? I wouldn't like that the translators have to translate every section marker in every document. I want to make it automatic.
Another option is create 16 master pages (one per section) and put on it conditional text, but I don't want 16 master pages.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry but I can't explain it as clear as I would because english is not my mother tongue.
Yes, this sections have a title. For example, the point 1 is "Introducción" and I want that, in the footpage of the Introducción pages, put "Introducción" atutomatically. With the point 2, 3, 4, and so on, the same. Then, when I send it to our translators, they generate a new document in the target language based on the original. It would be nice if they translate those titles (Introduction, etc) automatically the footpage is updated.
This book documents are divided in 3 .indd files: 1 per front cover and index. 1 per the body of the document. 1 per the back cover. I want this footpage just in the second .indd file.
I use conditional text for some facts. For example, if you choose the label USA, you will see in the footpage "Instalation manual". If you choose Spain, you will see 'Manual de instalación'. In my first post I was talking about conditional text because I'm used to use it, but I can see other options.
Thanks.

Align Region Body and Title

In my application's home page there is a title and two buttons under neath. All of them are aligned to left. I can align to right but I don't know how to align to middle/center. Could help me out to align my title and button to middle/center of my page?
Thanks,
Rony

There are a lot of ways to achieve what you want. Part of it has to do with templates, which ones you choose, where you place them (which page section) and what CSS and classes are associated with each element.
I'm not familiar with any of the centered region templates, but what you might want to do is copy one of the existing region templates and put your centering attributes in that template. This will be especially useful if you plan to use this centered layout over and over again.
One place to start is in your templates, look for alignment attributes (align="right") and try changing them to align="center". If you have specific HTML that you would like us to look at please post whatever you can here. Just watch out when posting HTML on the forum postings. You generally don't want to use real HTML tags. Just show the portions of the tags (attributes) that are relevant.
Hope that helps.

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Thanks Kelly,
The answers would be the following:
1200 cells per custom section (NEW COUNT), and up to 30 custom sections per spec.
Assuming all will be populated, and this would apply to all final material specs in the system which could be ~25% of all material specs.
The cells will be numeric, free text, drop downs, and some calculated numeric.
Are we reaching the limits for UI performance?
Thanks
