Shared library aggravation -- flags and drag/drop broken

I've got a MacBook Air. My wife has a MacBook. Both are running OS X 10.7.2 and iPhoto 9.2.1 (most recent update of iPhoto '11). And shared photo libraries are driving us nuts.
My wife wanted to grab a few photos from my iPhoto library. I figured this would be simple... enable sharing in the preferences, click the shared library in the source list, and "it just works." Nope. To be clear, I'm talking about libraries shared over a network, using the setting in iPhoto's preferences. There are several oddities with the way shared libraries work that are just awful. I really hope I'm just doing something wrong.
1. Flagging. iPhoto will let you flag photos in a shared library... but they don't appear in your flagged photos in the source list. You can't create a smart album from them. You can't create a album from them. You can't create an event from them. You can't search for them. In fact, near as I figure, you can't really do anything at all with those flagged photos in the shared library, other than toggle the flag overlay.
So, iPhoto lets you flag photos in the normal way in a shared library, but doesn't collect those flagged photos in the normal way. This is probably the worst possible scenario. My wife happily flagged photos in a large albumn of mine for an hour. Then, she couldn't understand why those photos weren't collected in the Flagged section of her library's source list. She would have to go back through all 1,700 photos to find the ones she wanted again. She. Was. ******.
2. Ratings. Same as above. iPhoto will let you rate photos in a shared library, but that rating seems to affect only the rating overlay image. Disconnect from the shared library, and your ratings disappear (so do your flags).
3. Drag/drop is broken. You can drag/drop images from the shared library to the local library. But you cannot drag/drop from the shared library to the desktop (or elsewhere in Finder). This differs from the standard iPhoto behavior, where drag/drop from iPhoto to any folder works.
These things are problems. They're problems because shared libraries look just like the local library. When the user interacts with them, they should act like the local library.
Do shared libraries work similarly for others? Are my wife and I just "lucky" here? Or are these bugs in iPhoto?

Sorry, I was a bit ranty last night.
I'll ask a more specific question: do you see the same behavior when you connect to a shared library? That is, can you toggle the flag overlay and set ratings, both of which appear to do nothing and do not persist after disconnecting?
Our iPhoto libraries are large (>10k photos each) and have been upgraded across multiple versions of iPhoto. I'm wondering if there's something broken on our specific Macs, or if this is really an iPhoto bug.

Drill Down Reports and Drag & Drop capability Tool for Developer2000

I am currently doing my development in Developer2000 rel. 2.0.
I have seen many tools for VB which provide the facility for Drill Down reporting and drag & drop option in reporting, but unable to find any tool for developer2000. I wonder if anyone can guide me about any tool for developer2000 which can provide these facilities in reporting and forms.......
Qamar Bilal

you can use the mouse triggers to do drag and drop.
you have mouse-move and mouse-enter etc...
what do you mean by drill down?
you can do drill down reporting in reports by using srw.run_report built in and you can also use oracle discoverer.

Itunes Shared Library between Mac and Windows isn't sharing videos properly

Hi, I'm a bit new to the mac world, but I'm the proud owner of a new macmini. I also own a Windows 7 machine.
My problem is with the Itunes Shared library. Itunes 10 on my mac is set up to share everything, including podcasts. I can see these from Itunes 10 on Windows, and I can play music (and audio podcasts), but video is hit or miss.
Videos downloaded from Itunes U tend to work, lectures and stuff.
Video podcasts (also downloaded from Itunes Store) and other videos don't work at all. Itunes just doesn't play the video, and doesn't even launch the "black screen". The timer remains at 0.00.
On the other hand, sharing videos from the PC to Mac works well, i.e. my mac can see the contents of the itunes shared library on Windows and play videos. It just doesn't work the other way around.
Thanks for reading and I hope this problem can be fixed.

Woops!

Copy/paste and drag/drop not working in Mt. Lion

After two weeks of searching, I can not find the hangup which is causing my iMac 27" 10.8 to stop copy/paste and drag/drop following successfully doing the same shortly after startup. In Safe Mode, it doesn't happen, so I'm wondering how to track down this problem (extension?). I have to restart in order to get it functioning again after a short time of working. There has to be some kind of timing, like a program installed with a time limit which probably was forgotten in Lion and then reared its ugly head in Mt. Lion. Any suggestions for tracking this puppy? Or is there a program I could buy to do so?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Reinstalling CS2, and dragging/dropping files does not work

I have Photoshop CS2. Or at least I
had it. I had updated my operating system to Tiger, and it just caused a bunch of files to change, nothing really bad. It gave me an error message upon opening photoshop that "files necessary for running Photoshop were missing from the Application Support folder"
So I read the advice on this FAQ:
Scott Weichert, "Double-click/Drag-&-drop Photoshop files opens application but not file or I get a message saying that some files in Application Support are missing and I have to reinstall. (Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3)" #, 29 Dec 2003 2:45 pm
And did what it said. I trashed the CS2 folder, and now when I try to re-install it my serial number won't work. Is my $400 serial number now permanently registered on a nonexistent platform?
As an active photographer and graphic artist, I need Photoshop constantly. So any advice would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible. Thank you.

The problem you got into is a known problem after updating to Tiger. It is a small 4K file that gets trashed with the update. It is called the Adobe Unit Types. Both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements need this file to function.
One way to get it back is to reinstall Photoshop, the other is to add this file again.
You can get the file from here http://www.dd.se/Tips/bildbehandling/downloads/AdobeUnitTypes.zip
It is only 3,7 KB big.
You put the file you download here:
[hard disk] /Library/ScriptingAdditions. If you don't have a Scripting Additions folder, you create it.
As you trashed Photoshop, you need to completely deinstall it to be able to reinstall it.

Backup/restore and drag/drop .emlx back into mail......

bit of a curly one,
Okay, I backed up a user's folder full of emails onto disc, so I could delete it (As it's taking up heaps on the server... they're using imap)
anyway...is there any way to drag/drop the .emlx files back into say a folder "on the mac" so that it can be visible on the hard disk in Mail?

First of all, you should realize that you’ve been making backups of data stored locally on disk, not of the messages stored on the server. Hence, in general, those backups may or may not allow you to restore your mail depending on a number of things, such as the account settings and the format used by the mail client to cache messages locally (if any).
If Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing is set to All messages and their attachments (the default setting), then Mail 2.x maintains a local copy of server-stored mailboxes using the exact same format it uses for locally stored mailboxes, except the suffix of the mailbox folder in the filesystem is .imapmbox instead of .mbox.
You cannot import *.imapmbox mailboxes directly into Mail because when you do File > Import Mailboxes and choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, Mail looks for *.mbox folders only, but if Keep copies of messages for offline viewing was indeed set to All messages and their attachments when the backup of those mailboxes was made, you can easily overcome that limitation by just changing the suffix to .mbox:
1. Copy the entire ~/Library/Mail/IMAP-username@mailserver account folder from the backup to the Desktop.
2. Change the .imapmbox suffix of the folders within the account folder on the Desktop to .mbox.
3. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the copy of the account folder that’s on the Desktop.

UI enhancements and Drag&Drop

I understand the need and will to create UI environment from scratch which is independent from the OS usual controls and pretty too. But with this approach it's often that something that the users of specific OS are taking for granted isn't there.
There are problems with current scrolling behavior in grid view (different from thumbnail generation problems). The scrolling seems too slow and not entirely smooth. Apart from working on solution for that (which I feel is needed) using Windows convention of right clicking on slider area and have the options to scroll to the start/end and scroll where clicked would ease _some_ frustration when browsing through the library. I often use this in both PSE Organizer and Bridge.
Of course Mac people might say: hey, I don't want that Win stuff in! To this my answer would be: I would like _every_ useful Mac stuff in!
I would also like full drag&drop capability in LR.

no, it has to be a smart folder to do something like that.
Otherwise I think I'll set a keyword in MailTags and create a smart folder that catches all items including the keyword.
That's probably your best bet.

HT4557 Selecting a shared library starts connecting and gets to what looks to be 50% of the time circle and stops without connecting to the shared library..... Has anyone experience this before and knows how to overcome it?

I have an iphone 5 with the current operating system and an up to date itunes as of 01.04.13. The strange thing about this problem is that I have the "remote" app also installed and the Iphone can access the shared library and control what is played on itunes on the PC but not the other way around. What I want to do is play from my library through my Iphone but it is not connecting through the music application???

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

Sharing Library Between PC and Mac

Hello all,
I recently transferred my iTunes library from the PC to an AirDisk. The annoying thing is that when I open iTunes on the Mac, it does the "Updating iTunes Library" which takes a while to complete. When I open iTunes on the PC, it does the same thing. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or is this the nature of sharing an iTunes library between PC's and Mac's?
Thanks
Mac mini (1.42 GHz PPC) | MacBook (2.0 GHz C2D) | Mac OS X (10.4.9) | PC with XP SP2

Sorry I should explained it better. I'm talking about how it seems the OSX iTunes is doing some converting when the library was last opened with the Windows iTunes. It takes 30 minutes for this coversion to complete. If I open the library in OSX, and it was last accessed by the OSX iTunes, there is minimal delay. I assume there is some conversion because (1) the iTunes Library file increases in size; and (2) the kind of file reported by OSX changes from iTunes Database File to a Unix Executable File.

Reader X and Drag & Drop

Hi guys,
you may have noticed, Drag & Drop is not longer available since Reader X with enabled Protected Mode. This has become painful news for our accounting personnel. They used Drag and Drop to put billing information into our DMS. Is there a way to enable this feature for a specific website with some kind of whitelist or REG key or do we have to disable Protected Mode in general ?
Thanks for your advice...

When the protection mode is enabled this is not possible.

Smart folders and drag&drop

Morning.
Is there a way to create a smart folder and then drag&drop some emails into this smart folder, so that I can find in this folder all emails I've collected in it without that these emails are moved out of their respective original mailbox?
This would be very usefull to merge emails without a special evident unique attribute but with similarity given by the user.
Do you know, what I mean?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

Quality differences between "Export Using Compressor..." and Drag & Drop

There are quite a few people out there discussing the 24p workflow for the new Canon HV20 (on hv20.com, dvinfo.net, etc.). The HV20 can shoot 24 progressive frames/sec, but stores them as 29.97 interlaced HDV on tape, with an arbitrary cadence.
One of the better workflows is to capture into FCP using HDV over Firewire, and use Compressor to extract the progressive frames from the interlaced. Its Reverse Telecine seems to automatically figure out the cadence. I've been testing this using the "Other Workflows > Apple Codecs > Apple ProRes 422 for Progressive material (HQ)" preset, with the following modifications, Frame Controls: On, Deinterlace: Reverse Telecine, Frame Size: 1920x1080.
That's just background.
The problem is this. If I export the HDV clip from FCP, "Export > Using Compressor...", the resulting 24p footage is extremely high quality. However, if I drag & drop the HDV clip directly into Compressor, or set up a Compressor droplet (arguably more straightforward for batch conversions), the resulting footage has obvious resizing artifacts (jaggies).
Obviously, I'm keeping everything consistent setting-wise, and have thoroughly examined the resulting .movs. The only difference is the actual image quality.
Anyone seen anything like this?
I'm less concerned about this specific workflow than I am about Compressor producing non-identical results from identical footage with the same settings, dependent on your chosen workflow...
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

What I need to know if it is a dramatic different in quality that I should use DVD Pro instead of iDVD.
If you want a DRAMATIC improvement in quality, shoot sharp, high quality content like Hollywood (usually on film) and have it compressed by high quality hardware encoders.
There is a good reason Hollywood DVDs look better than iDVD/DVD Studio Pro DVDs.

Mulit task selection and drag drop

Hi Gurus,
SAP cProjects UI does not have capability of Drag Drop and multi task selections in the project strucuture tree.
I have narrowed down two options which include customisations.
If any one knows simpler options it would be a great help.
Thanks in advance.
Niketan.

Hi,
> Drag & Drop and multi task selections in the project strucuture tree
will be available with "SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0" (the successor of cProjects 4.5 and SAP RPM 4.5).
