Setting a specific loop duration

I can't seem to get the audio loop duration to a specific time I want. It jumps at 3 and 4 second intervals when I scroll the timer bar. I hope I am missing something on this because if this is how it was designed, I am very disappointed in Apple's designers. They need a little slap on the wrist.

I got curious, so changed some jpeg files in a specific folder to open with Preview instead of Elements, then investigated their properties. Discovered they now all had a resource fork, whereas most hadn't had one previous to the change, and opening the resource fork with Hex Edit, I found it contained an entry for "usro" with the single line "Applications/Preview.app"--using mdls didn't reveal anything interesting.
So it looks like an entry is added to the resource fork, if one already exists, and a resource fork is created if one doesn't, with the information about which program to ure for the file.
Oh, and I changed the files by selecting them then bring up "Show Inspector" (Command-Option-i) and changing the "Open With..." item there. Don't click the apply to all! Your new preference will now apply to all the file you had selected, and only to those files.
Alternatively, you can place an alias to your preferred application in the folder, then open items by going to the folder and dropping files onto the the alias.

  • Setting a specific time for a "hold?"

    Is there a way for me to set a SPECIFIC time for a "hold?" CNTRL+D gives me a duration of an effect, but I can't seem to do the same after I add a "hold." Instead, I have to MANUALLY slide the handle of the red "hold bar" until I achieve my desired length. (Which, if your trying to match in a connected clip can be a little unscientific.)
    To that end, is there a way to "copy" a hold effect? (Currently, if I copy a clip with a hold, it copies the clip, but not the "hold." Nor does "paste effects" seem to work.)

    In Mac OS X Lion, it's iCal > Preferences > Advanced > check Turn on Timezone Support
    In iOS 5, it's Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > TIme Zone Support > on
    The start and end time are in the same zone (and that's the zone associated with the event), but iCal automatically adjusts the entry to local time in the daily and related views.  There isn't a way to have a unique timezone for the start- and the end-time in a single event.

    can you be more specific?.....is the string coming from your "serial1.vi"? and what string specifically are you looking for to make this event happen?
    start by looking at the "comparison" pallet for your T/F logic of what specific string you want, wired to your case statement and a timer....

  • Chapters menu button loop duration

    I've created multiple iDVD projects, each with multiple movies on the Chapters page. Some projects will allow me, via the Inspector Window, to set loop duration for an individual movie's button-thumbnail within the menu. Other projects' Inspector Window will not allow me to even view loop duration.
    How do I create an iDVD project that always allows me to set Chapters menu button loop duration?

    My mistake... When it says "pointer over the menu" it's misleading because of the accompanying picture. I thought it meant "pointer over the menu button" because thats what the picture shows.
    When you simply put your pointer over that whole screen or "menu", you get the loop duration slider which is global to all clips on that screen.

  • Need to find a calendar to schedule multiple assignments with multiple tasks set on specific days for multiple people

    There may be no such animal as what I am searching for, but I thought I'd give it a try.
    What I need to do is find a calendar app that allows me to have individual calendars for staff members that I can place a several-days-long assignment and have those people access remotely on an iPad or iPhone (autosync).
    I also want to be able to have tasks set on specific days within that assignment that have alerts/reminders for each stage of the assignment.
    Being able to custom colour each individual assignment (not just the person's own calndar) is also necessary, as these asignments overlap and need to be easily distinguishable at a glance. Each assignment needs to be its own entity and not affect any furture or previous entries, even if I choose the same colour.
    It needs to be in a month by month view and be able to be something each person can subscribe to and sync up with for changes on a daily basis. It does nothave to be a calendar like in the screen shot below, it could be a linear calendar that has days across the top and assignments down the left side.....
    Here is a screen shot of a rudimentary excel spreadsheet I have been using. It is awkward and becoming unmanageable as the number of assigments increases and more staff are being added on. And I must send a new spreadsheet out every time I make a change or add an assignment, which is several times a week.
    I suspect I may be asking for the world, but if anyone knows a direction I can go in to start a search, I'd be grateful. I haven't had success of my own so far and need to find something soon.
    iCal doesn't work for me due to the fact I can only colour code the calendar itself and not the event, plus not being able to have multiple tasks within one event. And the qty of assignments I'd have would see most getting lost, eliminating my abilty to see every staff member's assignmanet at the same time.
    Thank you in advance if you have a suggestion and if not, thanks for looking at my dilemma!

  • How can I set a specific user log on neme to a specific machine

    Greeting,
    I have a question : 
    How can I set a specific user log on name to a specific machine.
    e.g. 
    Only User.A can log on to PC.A and the other can not.
    Base On :
    Windows Server 2003
    Active Directory Version : 5.2.3790.1812

    Technically we're both right.  This depends on what scenario you're setting this up.
    1)  If you want to say only this person can log on to this machine, and it's not an enterprise solution (meaning you have a handful of computers you want restricted, not all computers) then do something like Yan Li has recommended.  However, I
    do not recommend using any DENY LOCAL LOGON user rights.  In this case, you would have to deny everyone except 'User A' and your Administrators.  If you put a user in ALLOW LOCAL LOGON and DENY LOCAL LOGON, then DENY wins and no one logs in.  Instead,
    you should remove all the settings from ALLOW LOCAL LOGON and add only User A and administrators.
    2) If this is an enterprise solution, use the LOG ON TO option I mentioned before.  Managing user right assignments per machine is very difficult and isn't a practical way to do it on a large scale.  If every user in your domain is assigned a computer
    that they can use, only that user can use that machine and that machine will effectively only allow that user.  For this to work, EVERY user must be restricted to a workstation, if no setting is present, then that user can log on anywhere.  This
    is my preferred solution still.
    Like I said, it depends on your situation to which route is better.  I hope this helps and is clear and easy to understand.
    - If you have my posts to be helpful, or the answer, please mark them appropriately.  Thank you.

  • How to Run a Request Set on specific days and at specific hours

    Hi community,
    The question is simple, how to rin a Request Set on Specific Days and at Specific hours?
    Let me explain the scenario.
    E-Business Suite, Release 11.5.9.
    We have a request set under Sysadmin user. This Request set is running 24x7, during all year, and we want to restrict the execution from Monday to Friday since 08:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m. in order to increase the productivity of our system and more over, to avoid the size increase of a table (OE_EXPOSURE_INTERFACE)
    The Request Set includes 5 Requests:
    10. Workflow Background Process.
    20. GUZMAN: Cálculo metodo pago en pedidos.
    30. GUZMAN: Exposición de crédito externo.
    40. Credit Exposure Import.
    50 Initialize Credit Summaries Table.
    As you can see three of them are standar Oracle Order Management Processes and two of them are custom Oracle Order Management Processes; and the requests must be executed in that order.
    We have just thinking about to create a Custom Manager with a workshift from Monday to Friday since 08:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m., and include the requests as specialization rules or assigning those request to a Request Type and then include that Request Type as specializated rule, but this does not assure us that the request will be executed in that order.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks a lot for your answer in advice.
    Luis.

    Hi Anchorage,
    It could be a solution, but not the exact solution that we want. Let me say why.
    With the Request set we have the security that each concurrent request is executed when the prior one finishes; is that to say 20, does not begin till 10 finishes, and 30 does not begin till 20 finishes and so on. The most critical concurrent requests are 40 and 50, cause those are the ones that import an external credit exposure in the OE_EXPORURE_INTERFACE table (40) and are the ones that delete those external credit exposures imported (50). The problem is (and we do not know why) that these actions makes grow the size of the table and each time the 40 and 50 processes takes more minutes to finish. That's why we need to truncate the table in order to avoid the excesive grow of itself.
    Making each process independent, with a begining time and hoping and expecting that the following one does not begin till the prior one ends is not an admisible or realizable solution due to the problem with the 40 and 50 processes.
    So at the end, we need a request set in order to know that each one began when the prior one ends.
    And Due to in order to truncate the table, as I said before, the processes that have a relationship whit it, must be stopped (just the 40 and 50 processes) prior to the truncation.
    So as you see, it is difficult, very difficult.
    Regards.

  • How to set a specific time zone for time channel in DIADEM

    Hi,
    I'd like to know how to autmatically set a specific time zone for time channels in DIADEM.
    For example, I have stored data with corresponding time channel in UTC time on a disk which was collected in another time zone. Now I want to analyze this data and I want the time channel to show the local time in the time zone where the data was collected, and not the time in the local time zone where the computer is located.
    The time channel should also take site local summer/winter time into account. Now I'm running a script that handles it for me which adds or subtract hours according to my input. The problem is that I'm handling data from several different time zones and I'm not located in any of them and when you're running a lot of data over a greater time period, it's easy to make mistakes, especially when it comes to summer/winter time. Is there a any clever solution to this already implemented in Diadem that I have not found? 

    Hi hj77,
    No, I'm sorry, DIAdem has no time zone functionality at all.  I'm afraid you have no choice in DIAdem but to keep running your scripts.  Summer and Winter time are truly tricky, because the rules for when the changes occur are different in different countries and states within countries and also can change from year to year within the SAME country (as they did in the US a few years ago).

  • How to set adapter specific message attributes on Pi 7.1 inside a Java map.

    Hello,
    how can I set adapter specific message attributes in a Java mapping on PI 7.1.? The TransformationInput grants access to the DynamicConfiguration but the TransformationOutput doesn't. I have found threads refering to the old way of implementing Java mappings (e.g. Get dynamic filename in a Java Mapping (NOT UDF)). But there doesn't seem to be one refering to the actual PI.
    Kind regards,
    Heiko

    Using DynamicConfiguration from the TransformationInput works.

  • Setting Adapter-Specific Message Attributes in an Adapter Module

    Hi!
    I want to set Adapter-Specific Message Attributes in an Adapter Module. Is it possible to configure the Variable Transport Binding in this way?
    Best regards,
    Daniel

    I'd like to know it as well.
    I've checked out the XI AF API but didn't find much.
    One thing that I've observed is that since Module API can treat any Message Class (not only XI Messages), I guess it won't have any specific methods for XI messages (hence, no dynamic configuration). But you could try to get the message object and then treat it as an XI Message (you would be doing the steps that the Java Mapping API do before it calls a Java Mapping class) to get the Map objects (which include the parameters).
    Good luck on it, and let us know if you have any progress!
    Regards,
    Henrique.

  • I have been sampling new imported drum loops. And if I adjust region to song or time strecth it updates the audio file in the library. How to stop this? I lost the original setting to one loop. automatically doing it ??

    I have been sampling new imported drum loops. And if I adjust region to song or time strecth it updates the audio file in the library. How to stop this? I lost the original setting to one loop. automatically doing it ??

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
