Snapshot naming

Snapshot naming:
- Default to date, date/time or last edit name (default naming selectable via preferences)

Alternative or optional method: show date/time when hovering over the Snapshot name. This would be nice for the history pallet, as well.

How to create play all actions in one Click

Please help

The first action in that action set play the rest of actions in that action set it does not play all actions. That would require a Photoshop script to retrieve all the loaded action sets and do the action in each. Why would you want to run random actions.
That first action in the set was the last action recorded in the action set. Started with a make snapshot named normal then select that snapshot then play the next action in the set, The select snapshot normal and play next action is repeated till the rest of the action in the set have been played. Then a stop message is displayed. The other actions in the set make a group add their effect and make a snapshot. If you uncheck the stop step you could even batch this action, The stop would stop the batch process.
Just expand the actions and action steps and read the steps. Actions are easy to record and edit. The action palette is a full function action editor. You can single step and edit at the same time. Reading action is a good way to learn how to use Photoshop and you will know if an action is going to destroy work you have dons on a document like flatten you work.

According to Jan Kara:
It seems like you are hitting the warning:
WARN_ON(sb->s_writers.frozen == SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE);
which means that writing to a named pipe is modifying timestamp of a file while filesystem is frozen. This is not harming the fs such but the fs snapshot you are presumably taking may be slightly inconsistent.
I see the process which is writing to the named pipe is "postfix". Had anyone else seen this behavure before and meaby have a solution for it?

Time Machine, Disk Utility, and clearing out corrupted snapshots

Hi, all. I've been having some troubling issues with Time Machine and could use your collective insight.
I have a 500GiB external USB2 disk that I've been using for Time Machine since December (the oldest snapshot in Backups.backupdb is named 2007-12-13-222250). Everything worked fine until sometime in late January, when Time Machine decided to ax 2/3 of my Applications directory. Time Machine's logging is terse, so I wasn't able to determine what caused the corruption. The fact that this error wasn't caught and flagged by Time Machine bothers me.
Especially because I discovered this in the process of needing to recover from a crash on my laptop's hard drive -- I had to roll back to a previous, complete snapshot to get all my applications back.
After that I had to engage in some jiggery-pokery to get Time Machine to re-snapshot everything, but things proceeded normally until I received my new copy of DiskWarrior 4.1 last night (although DiskWarrior is an innocent bystander here). I tried to use DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory on the Time Machine disk, but it failed before trying to write anything.
(For those who care: after some back and forth with Alsoft tech support, we determined this was likely because my Time Machine volume has 6.2GB of catalog data, and DiskWarrior works by rebuilding the directory in memory, so it has to be able to fit the whole catalog into virtual memory.)
I was a little paranoid that something might be wrong with the disk after that, so I fired up Disk Utility and told it to repair the disk. It churned for about 6 hours and repaired an extraordinarily large number of hardlink reference count errors, but completed by claiming that the disk had been repaired.
When I next told Time Machine to run, instead of copying over a couple GB of data like it usually does, it started copying 38GB! ***? I took a look at the previous Time Machine snapshots, and discovered that Disk Utility had totally corrupted every snapshot I'd made since last month's fandango. Most of the root-level directories in the snapshots now look like this:

That is clearly, completely wrong, and it alarms me that Disk Utility could cause so much damage to a Time Machine volume.
Since I also use SuperDuper! to regularly clone this disk, it's not as big a nightmare as it could be, but this means that I'm going to have to clear out every snapshot for the last month by hand, both because I obviously can't trust them anymore, and because I keep getting messages like this in the logs:

I'd like to keep the old snapshots if I can. What's likely to happen if I just go and clear out the b0rked backup sessions by hand?
(Hmm... it appears yes, because I just deleted them all and the disk didn't recover the freed space.)
Here's the important question: has anyone else had issues using Disk Utility on a Time Machine volume, and does anyone at Apple have any plans to add integrity checking to Time Machine? As it stands, I don't really feel like I can trust it in its present form, as convenient as it is...

I have trouble with disk utility on my new (1 TB Lacie) as well as on my old (500 GB WD) drive. After doing a backup, du tells me a never ending list of errors like
HasFolderCount flag needs to be set (id = 599567)
(it should be 0x10 instead of 0)
Everything was O.K. before doing the backup; so is the disk to be backupped, according to du.
Up to now, no other problem occurred, but I´d like to clear this issue before my trust in time machine is restored.

Snapshots... How do they work precisely?

In RawShooter we have this one-click snapshot feature. We can make several of these on the fly, delete them, select between them in lightning speed, but lightning speed and easy interface does not surprise, its RawShooter after all, the best of the best of the best ever written.
Now in RawShooter we have in "D" module this "Snapshot" function, which allows to make named snapshots of the image. However, I still failed to discover how in blazes does it work? I made some edits, made a snapshot, made another and in the 2nd snapshot I clicked on "reset" to have now one edited and one unedited version of the image. My impression is, that "reset" resets all snapshots to unedited version.
Do I do something wrong?

Oh my god! It is getting more and more complex by the minute!
Thanks for all the hints, seriously, I will look at the virtual copies and of course, and the using history is indeed a possibility, however very convoluted and error prone because similar entries might belong to edits on different snapshots.
If the RESET button is so destructive, I would like to remove it from my GUI.
Lack of (say) crop memory in RSP snapshots is a valid point, but it does not change anything on the fact that RSP provided us with excellent way of making them and selecting them. A RawShooter v1.1 might have had a separate crop added to each snapshot, there.
I also observe that the raw conversion on RSP provides more detail than the Lightroom. Amazing, this is the essential part isn't it?
Well deserved sarcasm on Adobe on:
I will now go make that 2nd PhD, it will maybe help me to grasp the arcane complexity and convoluted maze of options in this baroque GUI... And I wanted make.... photography, you know, see the light, point at your subject, press the button, enjoy the result, or be horrified by it. Currently I am just lightrooming, cameras be damned.

SQL Server 2014 Snapshot agent duplicating constraints

Hello,
We are upgrading our server from SQL Server 2008 R2 Std. Ed. to SQL Server 2014 Std. Ed.
Our server works with Merge and Transactional publications.
Our current problem happens when trying to generate the first snapshot using the snapshot agent. Since this is the first time, the snapshot will create all the system tables related with replication and the error happens when creating the table MSmerge_conflict_<publication>_<article>
because now the snapshot agent is trying to create the constraints from the <article> (a table in our case) with the same name, so it brings the conflict of having duplicated constraints names and because of that the snapshot agent fails.
This didn't happen on 2008 because the snapshot agent didn't try to create the constraints before.
This is the error that we see on the Snapshot Agent Status: There is already an object named"NewAccountPermission" in the database. Could not create constraint or index. See previous errors.
The exact T-sql statement that is failing is shown on the replication monitor:
Error messages:
Message: There is already an object named 'NewAccountPermission' in the database.
Could not create constraint or index. See previous errors.
Command Text: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MSmerge_conflict_Roster_AccountPermissions](
[AccountPermissionID] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [NewAccountPermission] DEFAULT ([dbo].[getNewAccountPermissionID]()),
[PermissionName] [varchar](255) NULL,
[Description] [varchar](255) NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL
Digging a bit further I searched and compared the snapshot files that creates this table. Here it can be seen that the snapshot files only differ on the creation or not of the constraint.
Here is an extract o f the 2014 file called AccountPermissions_3.cft
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MSmerge_conflict_Roster_AccountPermissions](
[AccountPermissionID] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [NewAccountPermission] DEFAULT ([dbo].[getNewAccountPermissionID]()),
[PermissionName] [varchar](255) NULL,
[Description] [varchar](255) NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL
Here is the 2008 version of the same file:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MSmerge_conflict_Roster_AccountPermissions](
[AccountPermissionID] [int] NOT NULL,
[PermissionName] [varchar](255) NULL,
[Description] [varchar](255) NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL
Any ideas on what is going on? Do I have to configure some properties on the publication now to disallow creating the constraints on the msmerge_conflict table?
Thank you,
Alejandro Rivera

Hi Hilary,
1) There is an user table called dbo.AccountPermissions. The problem happens when the snapshot agent tries to create MSmerge_conflicts_Roster_AccountPermissions (system table). The database is called Roster.
2) We use the default dbo schema. Here is the create script for that table (just in case):
USE [Roster]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[AccountPermissions] Script Date: 11/17/2014 7:48:27 PM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AccountPermissions](
[AccountPermissionID] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [NewAccountPermission] DEFAULT ([dbo].[getNewAccountPermissionID]()),
[PermissionName] [varchar](255) NULL,
[Description] [varchar](255) NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [MSmerge_df_rowguid_13B9434FF11A44ACB63F5D2927C053FD] DEFAULT (newsequentialid()),
CONSTRAINT [pk_accountpermissions] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[AccountPermissionID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
GO
I'd put a screenshot too, but sadly the forum doesn't allow me until it verifies my account.
Let me know if you any more info.
Thank you,

Manage btrfs snapshots

One of the feature that i much like about btrfs is Snapshot.
What i want to do is to create snapshots of /home every 5/15 minutes (i have to test better the impact on performance) and retain:
02 - Yearly snapshots
12 - Monthly snapshots
16 - Weekly snapshots
28 - Daily snapshots
48 - Hourly snapshots
60 - Minutely snapshots
The above scheme is indicative and i'm looking for suggestion in order to improve it.
After long google searching finally i've found a very simple but powerful bash script to manage btrfs snapshots: https://github.com/mmehnert/btrfs-snapshot-rotation
I've changed a bit the script in order to use my naming scheme
#!/bin/bash
# Parse arguments:
SOURCE=$1
TARGET=$2
SNAP=$3
COUNT=$4
QUIET=$5
# Function to display usage:
usage() {
scriptname=`/usr/bin/basename $0`
cat <<EOF
$scriptname: Take and rotate snapshots on a btrfs file system
Usage:
$scriptname source target snap_name count [-q]
source: path to make snaphost of
target: snapshot directory
snap_name: Base name for snapshots, to be appended to
date "+%F--%H-%M-%S"
count: Number of snapshots in the timestamp-@snap_name format to
keep at one time for a given snap_name.
[-q]: Be quiet.
Example for crontab:
15,30,45 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/btrfs-snapshot /home /home/__snapshots quarterly 4 -q
0 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/btrfs-snapshot /home /home/__snapshots hourly 8 -q
Example for anacrontab:
1 10 daily_snap /usr/local/bin/btrfs-snapshot /home /home/__snapshots daily 8
7 30 weekly_snap /usr/local/bin/btrfs-snapshot /home /home/__snapsnots weekly 5
@monthly 90 monthly_snap /usr/local/bin/btrfs-snapshot /home /home/__snapshots monthly 3
EOF
exit
# Basic argument checks:
if [ -z $COUNT ] ; then
echo "COUNT is not provided."
usage
fi
if [ ! -z $6 ] ; then
echo "Too many options."
usage
fi
if [ -n "$QUIET" ] && [ "x$QUIET" != "x-q" ] ; then
echo "Option 4 is either -q or empty. Given: \"$QUIET\""
usage
fi
# $max_snap is the highest number of snapshots that will be kept for $SNAP.
max_snap=$(($COUNT -1))
# $time_stamp is the date of snapshots
time_stamp=`date "+%F_%H-%M"`
# Clean up older snapshots:
for i in `ls $TARGET|sort |grep ${SNAP}|head -n -${max_snap}`; do
cmd="btrfs subvolume delete $TARGET/$i"
if [ -z $QUIET ]; then
echo $cmd
fi
$cmd >/dev/null
done
# Create new snapshot:
cmd="btrfs subvolume snapshot $SOURCE $TARGET/"${SNAP}-$time_stamp""
if [ -z $QUIET ]; then
echo $cmd
fi
$cmd >/dev/null
I use fcontab
[root@kabuky ~]# fcrontab -l
17:32:58 listing root's fcrontab
@ 5 /usr/local/bin/btrfs-snapshot /home /home/__snapshots minutely 60 -q

Looks good, I may take a look since I'm using btrfs. Don't confuse this for a backup though .
Sorry for confusion, my english is not very good
Yes this is not a backup.

WFA 2.1+ CM Snapshot support with Unified Manager 6.0+

Hi All,
If you've come here, you may have noticed that WFA 2.1 appears to lack support of Snapshots in cDOT, and the Snapshot database view within OnCommand Unified Manager 6.0 and above is empty.
This pack intends to fill that gap by providing a separate collector that uses the same list of clusters as the Unified Manager database collector, but goes directly to the cluster to gather Snapshot information. In future it may gather other information not available within a Unified Manager view.
Updates included in v4:
Includes Cluster and Vserver Peer information collections, dictionary, commands and filters.
You can also connect directly to the cluster, no Unified Manager required!
To connect directly to a cluster, specify a comma separated list of clusters to connect to, using their 'primary_address' as registered in OnCommand Unified Manager to ensure filters match the cluster.primary_address field.
Here is an overview of the components in the attached.
Schema: cm_storage_augment
Dictionary:
Snapshot          Represents a Volume Snapshot
Vserver_Peer    Represents a Vserver Peer relationship
Cluster_Peer     Represents a Cluster Peer relationship
Commands:
Create Volume Snapshot             Creates a Volume Snapshot
Remove Volume Snapshot           Removes a Volume Snapshot
Create Storage Virtual Machine Peer with reservations

Installation Steps:
        Import the DAR file (attached)
        On the Credentials tab, ensure each cluster that is configured in OnCommand Unified Manager is listed and has correct credentials.
        Select the Data Sources tab. Create a new Data Source of type "CM Storage Augment - 6.0"
        Enter details of the OnCommand Unified Manager server and user account
          (User credentials must be normal users and NOT database users)
        Ensure you select "cm_storage_augment" and "Reset Schema" to create database tables.
Note: Reservations have now been included! Snapshot timestamp is set to 'now' so may adjust once a collection cycle has completed.
          Release v3 include Congruence Tests and Reservation Strings to complete the reservations information. It is also marked as PS Certified to indicate reservations are present.
           If using v2, ensure you update or reservations will not behave as expected.
           If upgrading to v4, ensure you select "Reset Schema" to allow the new Vserver and Cluster Peer tables to be created before the next collection.
Please report any feedback to [email protected], thanks!

Hello, I had no issue importing the dar file but am having one getting the cluster setup as the data source. Credentials have been set and tested successfully, an OCUM data source was previously setup and tested successfully, but the cluster data source fails with the following error in the wfa.log: failed: com.netapp.wfa.cache.execution.CacheException: Error running data acquisition script: At C:\Program Files\NetApp\WFA\jboss\standalone\tmp\wfa\cm_storage_augment4582972690885238274.ps1:172 char:43 WFA version 2.2 GAWindows 2008 R2 EE (new vm)PowerShell 3.0.NET 4.5OCUM 6.1cDOT 8.2.1p1IE8 and FF32 Has anyone seen this or have an idea on how to fix it?

Snapshots and dates

We have an accumulating snapshot fact table. We take a snapshot of data once a week.
In our fact table we record Help Desk Ticket information, such as Time Open and Ticket Status. Ticket Status is a FK back to the Ticket Status dimension so that we can slice on the status.
For a given month a particular Help Desk Ticket will have four records (possibly five) in the fact table.
So for Help Desk Ticket 123 my entries might look like:
Snapshot Date: 4/26/2014, Status: Open, DaysOpen: 5
Snapshot Date: 5/3/2014, Status: Open, DaysOpen: 12
Snapshot Date: 5/10/2014, Status: Open, DaysOpen: 19
Snapshot Date: 5/17/2014, Status: Open, DaysOpen: 26
Snapshot Date: 5/24/2014, Status: Closed, DaysOpen: 29
Snapshot Date: 5/31/2014, Status: Closed, DaysOpen: 29
Snapshot Date: 6/7/2014, Status: Closed, DaysOpen: 29
Snapshot Date: 6/14/2014, Status: Closed, DaysOpen: 29
When I write MDX statements to retrieve all Open tickets by month for the current year, I want my MDX to only look at the last snapshot of the month and look at its status. So for the above example, the ticket should show as Open for April only.
Likewise if I want to show Open tickets for the year by quarter the above ticket would not show at all because at the end of the quarter it was closed.
I'm thinking I need to do a SCOPE statement within the cube MDX so that the measure [Ticket Count] is applied at whatever level I'm at in the [Date Snapshot].[Year Hierarchy] structure (you're normal Year, Quarter, Month, Day hierarchy).
Is there another way or a better way to do this?

Didn't even need to do a scope statement. Here's what I used and it appears to met my needs:
CREATE DYNAMIC SET CURRENTCUBE.[Snapshot End of Month]
AS
GENERATE
[Date Snapshot].[Year Hierarchy].[Month].Members
, BOTTOMCOUNT
[Date Snapshot].[Year Hierarchy].CurrentMember
* NONEMPTY
[Date Snapshot].[Standard Date].[Standard Date]
, [Number of Tickets]
, 1
, DISPLAY_FOLDER = 'Named Sets';

Naming Suggestions for Albums

I just had surgery and so have a few weeks to sit at home. I would like to redo all of my albums in iPhoto (about 30,000 pix in three libraries).
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good album naming system? I have used "Thanksgiving 2005" for example in the past but I haven't been consistent. Before I start I thought I would see if any of you have found a surefire system that helps with sorts, etc.
Thanks for your time!

I probably have as many photos as you if not more, but I do not use keywords. Also, since many of my photos are scanned-in snapshots, the dates on many are the date of the scan, not the actual date. It was too daunting a task to redate them all.
My system is purely chronologic. I use iPhotoBuddy to create several separate libraries. My first one contains photos from the 1890's through 1978. It happens to be labeled 1920-1978 because that was the earliest date of my photos until we found the 1800s ones . Each of my libraries contains a maximum of about 6000 photos. I chose that number because the prior versions of iPhoto would get sluggish with more than that, and that size is not too large to work with. I now have 10 libraries; some are just one year, some are 2-3, and some are about 5 years of photos. In the earlier years, without digital cameras, the total number of photos for a year is way less than the current year with many digital photos.
I use albums to keep my photos organized for each year. My main reason for this is that I scanned in the photos at different times. Most of them came from our photo albums......one area of my life that has always been carefully organized. However, I would then run across some photos in picture frames, or other places and had to add them into the proper chronologic position. In the Events, and in the previous Film Rolls, the position of the photos cannot be moved as they can in albums.
I use albums to place each photo in its proper position. When I have finished with the positioning of all the photos for the year, I then number them. (I don't put the exact dates on them; I know they go from Jan to Dec, and from the content it is fairly easy to identify when they were taken. I really don't care if a particular photo was from March 4 or 16....I know it was after Valentine's Day and before Easter!). My numbering system is also very simple. I use 3 or 4 digits depending on how many total photos are in the album. For example, for 1985, my first three photos are: 1985-001, 1985-002, 1985-003. For 2007, my first three photos are 2007-0001, 2007-0002, 2007-0003. Numbering them consecutively keeps them in order when I export them to an external drive as backup or burn them to disks, so I would not have to resort them.
I use my albums when I make my iMovies for each year, so it is crucial for me to have the photos in the correct order chronologically. I make DVDs of each year....some years need 4-6 DVDs for all the activities, photos and videos, but some years are less eventful and I can get all our photos and videos on one DVD.
I do keep my photos in Events, labeled as to what they are, but I use that just for viewing the photos I want to see or show someone. I have a pretty good sense as to which photos are where, so I haven't really needed to make a search for specific photos except one time for a friend's anniversary. When I initially began to scan in my photos, I did put titles on them, but that became tedious and repetitious. I found I wanted to use the same titles for different photos of the same people or places. Keywords were not a part of iPhoto then. Now, my scanner just numbers the photos, so I have numbers on those and the digital ones. I do add descriptions to many of my photos, but I should add keywords as well. I may get to that after I finish my iMovie/DVD projects. I have about 10 more family movies to do first!
Whatever system you chose, it has to be one that works for you. My dad (on a PC)keeps his photos on two different drives and put them into folders by person. He is sorry now that he did it that way because he can't find anything. I helped him resort his more recent photos by date, since he now thinks that might be a better way of organizing. I tried to get him to consider how he thinks of the photos, and his response was that he liked the combination of people and years, so that is what he is using. I wouldn't like it, but it is working for him.

LVM Snapshots to safeguard pacman system upgrade

I'm a long time LVM user but never really explored the snapshot capability.
I am considering the possibility of using a snapshot of my lvm backed root filesystem, before pacman -Syu actions. So, I can recover if the upgrade fails.
(I currently use tar to do complete file backups that this might replace)
So, if my root filesystem is mounted like this
/dev/mapper/vg05-lvoli5root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
And, my boot partition is mounted like this
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,relatime)
And I backup my boot partition like this:
tar cvf /root/bootbu.tar boot/
I snapshot my root filesystem like this:
lvcreate --size 1G --snapshot --name snaps_root_fs /dev/mapper/vg05-lvoli5root
Update: Note that snapshots must not be named "snapshot..." because of creation error.
Then I do the potentially unrecoverable upgrade
pacman -Syu
Then discover, for whatever reason, I want to revert, so i do
lvconvert --merge /dev/vg05/snaps_root_fs
After roboot, should the snapshot state be restored as if the pacman upgrade never happened?
(I realize that I may need to chroot in and restore the bootbu.tar file to /boot and redo grub...)
Tips or pointers to other documentation appreciated.
Tks

@lucke
I will check performance. I am thinking that I won't have the snapshot "on" for more than a few hours, or just enough to ensure the upgrade was not catastrophic.
@frostschutz : That thought crossed my mind. I only do web mail, but can you elaborate about the pacman db problem? Not sure I understand.
I will update once I try it out for real.
Tks to all.
Steve.
Update 1: confirmed that method outlined above completed without error and the snapshot restored system. Will update with performance data next.

Remove vmware snapshot on R2 domain controller

i have a vmware vm which is running W2012 R2 (Domain controller) and i made a snapshot in the past. can i remove the snapshot without any issues if i power the machine off. or will this cause issues because it will merge the 2 disks

This question would better be answered in VMware forum. https://communities.vmware.com/welcome
In current forum you would receive professional advice concerning Hyper-V.
Generally taking snapshots from Domain Controller is NOT recommended, namely older ones may retire.
And more, snapshots as such are better for testing and some kind of fast recovery (For example when updates fail.)
Thanks for understanding

Does windows' system restore take a snapshot of FF and am i able to role back to my old bookmarks that way?

does windows vista's system restore take a snapshot of FF that will allow me to role back to my old bookmarks?
thank you

i created a JSON file before the FF move. JSON files i tried to restore bookmarks from were from dates while i had the folder, yet they did not help it appear in any bookmarks menu or on any taskbar.
six months of bookmarks were in three folders put to a FF taskbar, two folders made it... one named bookmarks did not. it might be a flaw within firefox.

[s] gnome-sh...sion-tool ImportError: No module named 'gi.repository

After upgrading Gnome from 3.14 to 3.16 I had to reinstall my extensions, namely hide top bar. However when I went to run " gnome-shell-extension-tool -e hidetopbar-master" I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gnome-shell-extension-tool", line 20, in <module>
from gi.repository import Gio
ImportError: No module named 'gi.repository'
I tried something simpler for the program to run, "--help", and the result was the same
$ gnome-shell-extension-tool --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gnome-shell-extension-tool", line 20, in <module>
from gi.repository import Gio
ImportError: No module named 'gi.repository'
Turns out that /usr/bin/gnome-shell-extension-tool is a python scrypt (so I can read the thing), and so I'm guessing the file gi.repository is simply missing so it can't use "Gio". I ran "# pacman -Qkq" to check to make sure that everything was inorder, and it is. I ran "pacman -Qo" to see which package owns gnome-shell-extension-tool (its gnome-shell as one might have guessed) and tried re-installing that. No luck. Next I tried running a search for gi.repository in hopes that it's somewhere the script can't find. Unfortunately, that didn't help either.
I then looked at gnome-shell-extensions from a snapshot made before the upgrade and it too contains the line "from gi.repository import Gio", and I know I successfully installed this extension before in this manner since I've never been able to get Chromium or Firefox to install extensions for me. More over, the snapshot was searched as well.
Any ideas?

Thanks that worked, however it's not showing in gnome-shell-extension-prefs. Still, the problem is solved. Thank you.

Acrobat Reader - Use Fixed Resolution for Snapshot tool images setting

Hello,
We're currently running Acrobat Reader 9.x on our production Windows Vista SP2 Enterprise image and we're running Acrobat Reader X on our development Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit image. I'm curious if there's a registry setting that sets the "Use fixed Resolution for Snapshop tool images" from 72dpi to 300 dpi.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

The per user settings are held in the following registry location:
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Selection
There is a hexadecimal value named iSnapshotResolution which contains the resolution for the Snapshot Tool. Also a parameter called bUseFixedSnapshotResolution which needs to be set to 1 to switch the feature on or 0 to disable the feature.
This is a per user setting but I believe Reader checks the per machine location
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader 10.0\Selection
Presumably you can put the same values into the HKLM section (it doesn't exist by default) so you will need to create the Selection key.
Hope this makes sense.
