Sorting bug

It isn't possible to sort images manually (after having sorted by date) within the Event view.
I really can't believe that Apple didn't test something so crucial to this app. Not to mention they explain how to do it in the help section! The new iPhoto seems to have so many new great features, but I wasted at least an hour of my time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and in the end this turned out to be a bug?! Very frustrating.
Just to be clear. I'm trying to sort my photos by date within an Event AND then manually overide that to re-order a few images. The help section says you can do this under "Sorting Events and photos":
+You can sort by one of the options above, then manually sort photos within that order. To do so, choose View > Sort Events or View > Sort Photos, and then choose Reset Manual Sort. This allows you to sort Events or photos by date, for example, and then to drag the sorted Events or photos into an order you prefer.+
This does NOT work in the Event view. You can change the order in the Photos view, but it doesn't reflect in the Event

That is correct
You also can manually reorder photos in an album but as of now no one has been able to do it in an event as the help states you can
It would be good to provide this feedback directly to Appls ( iPhone menu ==> Provide iPhoto feedback)

7.5 still has sorting bugs

When are they going to fix these huge sorting bugs?
Can I go back to 7.1 in Leopard?

Chris,
If Apple wants to keep it this way then I guess I have to fix my luddite ways. There is logic in the new sorting obviously. It is strange when you look at you files in Finder and "The Beatles" are in the T's instead of the B's
The Finder is a different kind of organization system — it's less like a library, and thus doesn't use the library standard trick of ignoring articles (which originated as a way of keeping the "T" card catalog drawers from growing out of control!). The Finder requires a less "intelligent", but less variable, means of organizing files.
On a more positive note, is it possible to add sort info multiple songs from the same artist in one click, the same way you can change the year etc.
Yep — control-click the track you changed, then use "Apply Sort Fields..."

IPad2 iOS5 random photo sorting bug?

After upgrading my iPad2 to iOS5, the photo sorting in albums appears to be totally randomized which makes it pretty much unusable. Is this a bug? Before the upgrade, it used to be sorted by the time the photo was taken and this was at least better than apparent random sorting. Reverting to the previous sort method would be a good fix. Better would be to have a simple way to control the sort order.

I have lion and all of the latest updates, moved from mobile me to i cloud but my "albulms" on the i pod, i phone and i pad won't stay in the same order that they are in i photo or i tunes. The genius bar at the store went through everything and said that it's an update problem that will have to fix it. I hope they get to work quickly. 2 years ago I was promised by a senior tech that the album sorting problem would be fixed in i photo (about 20% of my albums won't stay sorted by title no matter what I do and about 80% will) and that has never been fixed.
I pray that they read these forums and realize their problems that need to be fixed because it's impossible to go to a saved item on my iphone or ipad without any order to the sorting.

LR 1.2: metadata browser sorting bug

Hi all,
after updateing from LR 1,1 to 1.2, i sadly noticed that the sorting order of the ISO values are totally mixed up. In 1.1 the list was sorted by ISO from low to high, 100,200,400, and so on ... now, it´s sorted "alphabetical", 100, 1600, 200, 3200, 400 ...
this is really annoying. Anything i can do about it? Didn´t check with apterure values, but they might be mixed up, too.
Can anybody confirm this bug?
Regards,
Markus

Hi,
I saw the same on my computer after upgrade to 1.2
All pictures imported with 1.1 or 1.0 were sorted in a metadata category "Iso", where the different Iso-settings were sorted alphabetical. Newly imported images got a metadata category "Iso Empfindl." (=sensitivity) where the settings where sorted correctly.
If you do then some minor metadata edit on the old images they got also moved to the new category "Iso Empfindl." - which took quiet some while with 20.000+ images.....

Does 3.1.2 fix the application icon sorting bug?

hello,
i notice that this new version of iTunes is buggy, the previous version would respect the icon sorting, but this new iTunes and iPhone OS version does not respect the sorting of icons...
the new feature to visualize the pages (i have 9 pages, more than 100 apps) does work partially...
is it only me?
the icons are sorted randomly...
and no matter if i choose sort by date, by name, category, it does NOT work....
please help~!

well, i'm considering the fact that i am using Tiger 10.4.11 on a PPC Power BookG4, since the rest of the iTunes features work perfectly ok...
I had to check the specs. Those seem to be OK.
i now tried removing all the apps from iPod, and then i sync with just 20 apps... and this part worked fine, the checked apps were installed (and not the whole bunch of apps) and the 'sort by category' "seems" to be respected...
With the 3.0 update on the iPhone 3G that was the approach I took when none of the apps worked after the upgrade. I put them back in groups of about 10 after a couple of restore attempts failed. In the end they all worked fine. The iPod touch was unaffected, so there must have been something in the iPhone itself.
BTW, i did not install 3.1.2 yet... on purpose.. some ppl seemed to have issues...
Some people always have issued. Or, there are always some people with issues.

IOS5 Has Restored Photo Sorting by Filename?

In my testing (both Jpeg and Png formats), it 'appears' that Apple has restored sorting images by filename in iOS5. If true, that means that the nightmare of altering EXIF dates to achieve user controlled sort sequencing for images on iPhone and iPad is finally over and done with. I have more testing to do, but based on what I've seen so far.......Bravo Apple!!!!!
There is one image sorting bug I have found in iOS5. If new images are moved into a folder in groups greater than about 200 images, the indexing goes crazy and the sort sequence appears random or somehow interleaved. I have not yet found the exact failure point but moving 125 images works okay, but moving 224 images fails.
Finally, why no image sorting options Apple? Although Pro photographers control image sorting by filename (compliant with DAM standards), a lot of folks in this Forum seem to like date sequencing. Since virtually all photo software offers sorting options, I think iOSx should too.

Confirmed. The sort order for photos has been restored to standard alphanumeric filename sequencing. The iOS4 requirement that EXIF dates be altered to control the sort order of photos has finally been eliminated.

Multi Disk sorting Screwed up in 11.1.4

iTunes 11.1.4 OSX 10.9.1
I have the first 3 audio books of A Game Of Thrones totaling over 90 CD's and over 1000 files!
When I importen them, iTunes dunped them in the Music Liberary with seperate Disk folder's. I have moved them over the Audio book folder but it has just mashed them all together in one folder!
How do I get itunes to leave them this kind of sort?
Book1>Disk 1>Files
Book2>Disk 1>Files
Book3>Disk 1>Files
instead of
AGOT>everything
or is this the old itunes multi disk sort bug still not fixed?

Hi All,
My issue got resolved by modifying the save button logic..
In the existing code we are commiting the data in the backing bean using
getAm().getDBTransaction().commit();
I just replaced the code with the below commit action from page definition and it started working...
BindingContainer bc = getBindings();
oracle.binding.OperationBinding opb = bc.getOperationBinding("Commit");
opb.execute();
System.out.println("opb.getErrors() :"+opb.getErrors());
if(opb.getErrors().isEmpty()){
But still no clue why it is working...........
Thanks,
Rajesh

Sort differences

A Linux-using friend asked for help creating a script to sort files numerically on the 2nd comma-delimited field of a set of Ascii files. So, at home on my Mac, I consulted the man page and came up with the following, which works just fine:
sort -t, -k2n filename
However, it doesn't work on Linux, where it doesn't complain about anything, it just doesn't sort correctly. The Linux man pages seem to support this set of options. (Yeah, I know, it's not Linux, but the sort program that's at issue. And this is a Mac forum, not a Linux one.) The Mac sort is from GNU while the two Linux (Ubuntu and Red Hat) sorts are from FSF.
Could this simply be chalked up to an FSF sort bug?
If anyone cares to play with this, here is some test data.
xyz,5,abc
asdfa,3,asdfads
werttwrwrtwtr,2,43234545
a,4,z
qqqqq,10,zzzz

Hi Ken,
Your post is quite interesting. The command line syntax of the sort command is quite complilcated and always a headache to me. The following are what I have found:
(1) It is always safer to specify the sort key as -k2,2 (not -k2). If you specfy just -k2 then it means "from the 2nd field to the end of the line". So
sort -t, -k2,2n filename
should give the desired result (both in Linux and MacOSX).
(2) GNU and FSF are "virtually" the same thing (FSF supports GNU project). The sort command in Tiger is from GNU but quite old
Tiger$ sort --version
sort - GNU textutils 1.14
The ones in (recent) Linux distros are also from GNU but much newer (textutils 2.x or coreutils, which is the successor of textutils).
(3) Older sort commands (like the one in Tiger) do not consider comma "," as part of a number. But newer ones can recognize the "thousands separator", with locale support. "Locale supoort" means that the values of the "decimal point" and the "thousands separator" depend on the locale (for example, French locale uses different values than many other locales.) If no locale is specified then it behaves as the older version, so
Linux$ LC_NUMERIC=C sort -t, -k2n filename
would work (but better to use -k2,2n).
(4) The newer sort also has the -g option. This can handle scientific notation like "6.022e-23", but slower than -n and can be affected by the rounding error. It seems -g does not support the "thousands separator".
(5) Sometimes (not always) "info sort" gives more recent (or detailed) description of the command than "man sort".

Very weird! Preview doesn't open all the selected items!

I transferred 120 photos from my digital camera to a new folder.
Then I selected them all and double-clicked, causing them to open under Preview.
But there are gaps in what opens!
For example, none of the photos between filenames P1030899 and P1030955 open up!
Yet if I select the photo files in that range separately and double-click on them they open up just fine!
Why won't all the photos open up when selecting 120 at once?!
I never noticed any such phenomenon with my old PB...
doug

OK. After doing some tests with Apple Support the problem turns out to be different, and perhaps more minor than I thought. But I would very much like other people here to test this as well!
The images are, in fact, all loading by Preview. But what happens is the first couple load, then a bunch are skipped, then others load then the ones that didn't load before are loaded.
So what Preview is showing after they are all loaded is not the images in order of filename, but the images in load order.
If you control-click on any image and then click the "sort by name" option (even though that option was already selected) then the images immediately re-order themselves.
So it is more a Preview sorting bug that it doesn't re-sort itself after loading all the images.
I guess this never happened on my older PB because of the timings involved the load order was always the same as the file order alphabetically.
What I would like to know is - can other people duplicate this as well?
If you have a folder with, say, 200 or so image files in it, please "select all" and double-click. This will open all the images in Preview.
Do all the images display in order immediately? Or is it like me where the first few display in order, then there is a gap of some number of images, then later images show up then your "missing" issues show up later. (You can resort after they are all loaded of course.)
Thanks,
doug

'The mobile phone rejected the operation' Error - ...

Hi,
Using E70 via Bluetooth. Everything works for sync etc.
When I click on contacts, it gives me the error 'The mobile phone rejected the operation' and does not allow me to view my contacts.
On occasions it will show the contacts, then something 'hides' them again and will then go back and browse the 'root' directory of the phone.
Im not aware of any security settings or such. At the moment, when I try and do something the phone asks to allow the connection, I do - but still nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

working now - upgraded pc suite again - a few reboots - and sorted. bug in previous pc suite??

ITunes 10.2.2 - Why have all of my mp3 files have been duplicated in the filesystem?

Nearly every single "Song.mp3" has a corresponding "Song 1.mp3". It's going to take forever to clean up manually.
This isn't just an issue with "recently added" music, it looks like every item in the filesystem has been duplicated. I didn't, to my knowledge, hit any "duplicate every mp3" button and folders aren't duped, just individual files. Is this an iTunes auto-sorting bug? Is there an easy fix?
I should add that the duplicates are *not* present in iTunes, just in the Finder.

Do you mean 5/6 7/8 for the output channels?
If so: Is the Firepod still hooked up? If not, you are donw to the default 1/2 outputs of you Mac.

Patterns Question

Hey everyone, got a question regarding patterns in Illustrator and this one is sorta bugging me.
Basically, I have a single object, a 3 leaf clover. When I import this object into the swatch pallet, it can make a pattern...yet it is more of a x and y axis pattern (clovers that make 90 degree angles and 180 angles). Is there an easy way to make the clovers pattern everywhere (making 45 degree angles , 90 degree angles, and 180)?
Thanks in advance for your input. I appreciate it.

Teri Petit has a sort of tutorial on how to do this do a search for Teri Petit Pattern Fill.

Trouble capturing tape into FCE 4.0

I am a beginning FCE 4.0 user, who is extremely frustrated. The manual has not helped me at all.
I had been using iMovie HD 06 for some time with acceptable results. I have a tape with a lot of overexposed scenes that I was not able to fix in iMovie 06. I do not care for iMovie 8, since it is a step down from version 6, and is a much more limited program. So I thought I’d give FCE a try, since it has superior tools for color correction, brightness and contrast, etc.
Now I can’t even capture my tape the way I did in iMovie 06. If I understand it correctly, I either have to set in and out points on every clip on the tape I want to capture, to get individual clips as in iMovie. This is extremely tedious, and will take me many hours, if not weeks, since I have well over 150 clips on that particular tape. Or I have to capture the tape “now”, which will result in just one continuous clip, with a length of 1 hour. I can then run the command “Mark/DV Start/Stop Detect”, which will divide the clip into segments, but this still leaves me with just one clip in the browser. I can then cut the clip on the timeline into individual clips, and drag these to the browser one by one. This again is very tedious. I have a feeling I am doing something wrong, and that it must be possible to capture the individual clips to FCE. If anyone can tell me how, please do.
I also tried to open two previous iMovie 06 projects into FCE. Unexpectedly, this gave me two very different results.
The first one seemed to open into FCE just fine. All the individual clips were in the browser, and the movie was on the time line. The clips are neatly “Arranged by Name” in the browser window, in the correct order. However, when I played back the movie in the Canvas window, there was no sound, only beeps. So I rendered the movie. Now I am not able to add any effects to the movie in the timeline. I cannot drag any transitions in between clips, nor can I add any color correction and/or any other effects.
The second movie did not open correctly. After opening the project, the sort order of the clips in the browser is in icon view and is wrong. It starts with Clip 169 through Clip 202, and then continues with Clip 01 through Clip 168. Why?
However, when I choose “List View”, the arrange order is correct. When I then choose any of the icon views, and “Arrange by Name” I get the following screwed up sort order:
Clip 01 through 10, Clip 100 – 109, Clip 11, Clip 110 – 119, Clip 12, Clip 120 – 129, Clip 13, Clip 130 – 139, Clip 14, …… Clip 190 –199, Clip 20, Clip 200 – 202, Clip 21 – 99. Why is FCE opening one iMovie project seemingly correctly, but the second one incorrectly?
Again, no sound but beeps, so I have to render. And again, I am not able to add any transitions or effects anywhere.
So far, this is as far as I have gotten with FCE, which is to say, I have accomplished nothing of what I wanted to accomplish. What should I do?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi(Bonjour)!
+I can then run the command “Mark/DV Start/Stop Detect”, which will divide the clip into segments, but this still leaves me with just one clip in the browser. I can then cut the clip on the timeline into individual clips, and drag these to the browser one by one.+
Capture the entire tape is my preferred way to go. I use Mark/DV start/stop detect to break the long clip in segment AND make all those segments independent with the COMMAND-U shortcut (after selecting all segments in browser). Collapse the original clip toggle switch and work with your new clips.
+However, when I played back the movie in the Canvas window, there was no sound, only beeps.+
IMovie and final cut express captured material don't support the same audio container as iMovie works with DV stream and FCE with DVCPRO. The rendering for audio from clips captured in iMovie is normal.
+Now I am not able to add any effects to the movie in the timeline. I cannot drag any transitions in between clips, nor can I add any color correction and/or any other effects.+
IMovie doesn't need "handles" in front and end of clip to add transitions. FCE need extra material to compose the transition (that's the way professionnal video editing software work) and keep the sequence's lenght constant.
I dont understand why you cannot add filters. Please do a test. Import any still image from your user directory images folder into a sequence. Add a color correction filter, and see if it works.
+After opening the project, the sort order of the clips in the browser is in icon view and is wrong. It starts with Clip 169 through Clip 202, and then continues with Clip 01 through Clip 168. Why?+
All versions of FCE have this sorting bug when list view-arrange by name is selected. If you capture from tape and use a 3 digits numbers convention for your clip, you should bypass this behavior.
+So far, this is as far as I have gotten with FCE, which is to say, I have accomplished nothing of what I wanted to accomplish. What should I do?+
FCE is designed mainly to capture material and edit it. Processing a iMovie project is not the ideal workflow. Can you consider to start your projects from scratch within FCE ?
