Suggested DAM? Your favorites?

We're a small group - 4 people - and use a common server for images. The files and folders have gotten out of control. We're using Mac and PC (Windows 7). We have CS6. I thought Bridge might be a good digital asset manager, but from searching the forums, I guess it isn't for multi-user, shared files. Is this also the case with Lightroom?
What DAM solution are you using? I've read up on Cumulus, but we don't have the budget for it. I've also looked at Daminion. It seems like there are a lot of solutions out there, and I'm a bit lost.
Also, which features are most important in choosing a solution?
And, if you're using a DAM, then how are you using Bridge with it? (What is the benefit?)
I've searched many of the Adobe forums for feedback on this topic, but I'd appreciate some current advice.
Thanks.

Your favorite Flash based apps ?

I'm writing an article on the unexpected and underestimated power of using Flash to develop apps for the iPhone/iPad. It seems that most developers and designers are still under the "No Flash" mantra of Steve Jobs. However, it is hard to find good examples of Flash based apps, since they're simply not promoted as such in the App Store. It also seems that the number of available Flash based apps is not that impressive, judging by the (lack of) developers talking about it on the web or in forums. I just find stumble upon stale pages on the old debate or even older pre-CS5 techniques...
There used to be this list:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcs5/appsfor_iphone/
But it refers to the new Packager, now.
So, who can help me out ?
What's your favorite Flash app for iOS ?
Are there any lists or spots where they all flock together ?
UPDATE: Oops, I didn't scroll deep enough in the topic list to find out there's already another thread that touts examples of Flash based apps. However, your suggestions are welcome, of course !

What's your favorite of styling hyperlinks?

Hi,
what's your favorite way of styling hyperlinks?
Right now I've colored mine C=100 M=100 Y=0 Y=0 and made them underlined. I feel the underlining is a bit too harsh on my overall design. Then again if I don't underline them, how are people suppose to know they're links?
Spelling out URLs is just not an option. Unless I use TinyURL? They say their links will last forever but who knows for sure?

That is a question about cultural expectations -- I can't answer that confidently. The check mark that so often is used in US software to signal 'OK' (as in the spelling checking function where I edit this message) signals 'Error' to me -- and when it is shown in green (as Borland Software did at one point, and as Adobe does here) it signals both 'Error' and 'OK', and produces a kind of 'pulling-both-ways' effect that isn't too pleasant -- to me. I'm not sure I can come up with something that works for you.
The dialog bubbles may work -- though to me the carry overtones of a footnote or an endnote. But they pretty clearly seem to signal 'more info elsewhere', and that's definitely a step in the right direction.
I would be looking for something like a bent arrow -- perhaps Unicode U+21AA (↪), or perhaps something similar with a double arrow (Unicode U+21D2, ⇒), except I'd like it to have a similar curve at the left, half suggesting a 'click here to go elsewhere'. (Wingdings 3, character code 0xCA, is close.) But I could probably go for 0x58 in WIngdings 3, rotate it 90 degrees to the right, and perhaps tweak the small box into two smaller boxes of unequal size, suggesting movement.
Or perhaps just something that suggest a 'click here' -- some of the simpler designs in Altemus Bursts, or Altemus Pinwheel or Altemus Stars might work.
I would like something that tempted the reader into testing, and so encourage learning-by-doing. That would be helped by a similar symbol going the other way to indicate the 'back' of a web browser. Arrows help here -- they show a direction. Other designs -- bursts -- won't be a easily understood: what would be a reverse burst?.And what symbol would be used at the target end of the dialog bubbles to suggest 'go back'? (Added: perhaps a quad or square signalling 'end'?)
Arrows seem safer. Even guillemets might work, as long they won't be misread as quotes of some kind. Guillemets in a circle? There are some such glyphs like that in Wingdings. The standard 'fast forward' and 'fast backward' glyphs (in Webdings, say) may also work.
Actually ... this is the kind of problem I'd might want to suggest for a small project for a class for typeface designers.

How do you read your favorite feeds?

Hi! This is my very first post on Arch forums.
I'm wondering about how do you read your favorite feeds? Which software do you use and why (what kind of features).
I'm more interested in finding a little software that uses the system tray.
Yet I'm also curious about just how does, those who utilize RSS, do it.
Personally I've used YARSSR, which is exactly what I want, except for few problems..
On Ubuntu it used to be as easy as make, make install (having build-essenial installed). On Debian 4.0 stable it is in the stable repos, so it was even easier. On Arch it's not in any of the repos nor AUR and make, make install didn't work:
# yarssr
bash: yarssr: command not found
# /usr/local/bin/yarssr
Can't locate Gnome2.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/yarssr /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/lib/yarssr/Yarssr.pm line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/yarssr/Yarssr.pm line 3.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/bin/yarssr line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/yarssr line 13.
I'd love to understand what's going on. How to install it right.
Anyhow, it's far from perfect anyway. It's the single thing that is not working so perfectly on my Debian as it should. Uses way too much CPU, sometimes stays trying to update and never does update nor allow forced updates, no quitting, etc..
I also use Google Reader, which is great to read many feeds and manage them, etc.
All I want is a little applet (maybe GNOME applet?) that gives me quick glimpse of my top favorite feeds, without using my browser nor launching a full-functional aggregator.

Hi James.
I'd like to know how you want to read your news
i'd prefer a cli frontend, web front would be bonus (river of news style).
snownews is good, just needs a few tweaks, some ui ones, and the main one being:
often i dont get to read news for a few days straight, so i'd like something i can put in cron and it'll update, and log the news for a few days straight, so when i get back it's all there. this generally limits me to one of the web clients, i dont know any desktop apps that do this.
i might write up an app to do this someday
as for your yassr problem, pacman -S gnome-perl?

Your favorite resources about effective learning in Captivate?

Hi,
I'm just getting started with Captivate, though I've been working in instructional design in digital publishing for education for a while. Now I'm going for my master's, and I'm planning on doing some hands-on action research about effective ways to creating branching-path experiences using Captivate.
I'd love to know your favorite websites, articles, blogs, books, etc. for finding out how best to use Captivate, not just technically, but some pedagogical some best practices. The same applies to any sources about best practice for branching-path projects as well. I'm already exploring Adobe's offerings.
Thanks!

For python, I like the cherrypy code. Clean and down to earth. For c, I have a number of favorite projects: evince, zlib, dwm, openbox, lua, libpeas, cogl, and clutter. Look on Browse github by language, look at the top projects and see how they are put together, but don't get discouraged! Some of the projects are daunting, absolutely massive, or have weird programming style. Just stick to your guns and look for the simple ones, when you are ready, go back and look at the really complex projects (V8 anyone?) and try to figure out the entry point and work you way from there. I would also highly recommend ack to help you find stuff in a source tree.

How do I reset the answer the the question " What was your favorite teachers name?" and "What was your least favorite job?"

I am trying to make my first purches on the new iPad from iTunes and the surcity question pops up "Whatwas the name of your favorite teacher?" and "What was least favorite job?" I need to know how to reset this information so I may start punching thing on the New IPad.

1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
2. Here are two different but direct methods:
    a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
    b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
        and service.
3. For other queries about Apple ID see Frequently asked questions about Apple ID.
4. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions

The subject says it all. Asking for personal
opinions, and (preferably) reasons why you like your
favorite book.For me, it's T. H. White, The Once and Future King. It reminds us that when we are sad, the best thing for it is to learn. A close second is Zen Guitar, by Philip Sudo, in which we learn that even when we don't think we are learning, if we keep pushing at it, we are learning.

What's your Favorite Movie?

What's your favorite movie? I always enjoyed when Harrison Ford reminded us all to wear our seat belts when flying an unlicensed refridgerator through an atomic explosion. Great line huh? Something that came to mind during my viewing of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I have silly quotes like this for most of my favorite movies I hope you enjoy them...
The Anime Birdie

Time for me to weigh in, and like GeraldRose, I have way too many to list, so I will explain why I like them so much!
Superbad - I also find this to be one of the funniest movies I have ever encountered. To top it off, I know a dude irl (well from online) who looks totally like McLovin. Classic.
The Changeling (1980) - Good, older creepy movie. George C. Scott delivers a sharp performance as a man entangled in a mystery that truly affects his life. One of the few movies as a kid that scared the dickens out of me, without showing anything really.
Say Anything - I am a hard core John Cusack fan, and I loved him as Lloyd Dobler in this movie. It also was my introduction to Lili Taylor, who I came to adore in later roles. This might seem like a teenage love movie, but it is so much more. I highly recommend!
Dogfight - The late River Phoenix and Lili Taylor are a delight in this film. Set in the 60's Phoenix plays a marine on weekend leave, who is on a mission to find the ugliest date for a contest with his fellow servicemen - a "Dogfight". He stumbles upon Rose, (Taylor) who is not exactly how he first assesses her. A bittersweet love story.
The Princess Bride - Robin Wright Penn, Mandy Patinkin, Carey Elwes, and Billy Crystal are just a few of the stars in this crowd pleaser. It follows the story of Buttercup and her love for Westley. This is not your traditional love story, but full of laughs and action!
Empire Records - A genuinely guilty pleasure, full of great music and laughs. Rory Cochranes turn as Lucas is brilliant. Maxwell Caulfield of Grease 2 makes a delightful turn as a washed up songbird "Rex Manning". It's REX MANNING DAY!!!! Also, one of my other faves Ethan Embry (then Ethan Randall) makes the role of Mark his own. First thing that I ever saw Seth Green in...he cracks me up.
All of the Austin Powers movies, All of the LOTR movies, Every Kevin Smith movie ever made, ESPECIALLY his newest Zach and Miri...well you know the rest.
I could go on and on. LOL!

What's your favorite?

What's your favorite Screen Capture program and why? I'm looking around and need some opinions.

I use the Grab application in the Applications/Utilities folder.
The keyboard commands in the Finder work as well:
Shift-Command-3 - Save picture of screen as a file;
Control-Shift-Command-3 - Copy picture of screen to the clipboard;
Shift-Command-4 - Save picture of selected area as a file;
Control-Shift-Command-4 - Copy picture of selected area to the clipboard;
but I can never remember those keyboard shortcuts and have assigned a keyboard shortcut to call up the Grab application, that does all those and more (e.g., Capture Window; Capture Timed screen).

What's your favorite MacBook Pro case?

Bag n’ Tag It
by: Digital Dude
In today’s world of everything slim and integrated, more techno fanatics and Spartan travelers are embracing the minimalist approach. To that end, I was looking for an alternative to my bulky computer briefcase for travel. So, I ordered the “Buzz” by Tom Bihn.
Initially, I was a bit skeptical since the price of the Buzz is rather high for a nylon bag in today’s crowded market. Fortunately, the folks at Tom Bihn have an excellent guarantee with great customer service. If you receive the bag, and it’s not what you expected, simply return it without having to request an authorization. Try that with any other bag manufacturer!
Exterior:
My first impression after opening the box was that the Buzz is in fact, a very well made nylon sling-bag with attractive accents. The initial fit on the back and shoulder was comfortable, and the crossover strap is wide and it fits guys and gals without interference. It’s also nicely padded and has a large durable quick disconnect fastener below your left rib area. There is a smaller adjustable waist strap for a more secure and balanced fit. I found it wasn’t necessary for casual carry although quite useful when riding a bike or running to catch that flight.
Interior:
The Buzz has two main compartments with waterproof zippers that don’t snag and they seal very well.
The main compartment houses a unique padded panel with a fitted corner, similar to a fitted bed sheet that stretches over one corner of the MacBook Pro. The space between the computer holder and the zippered panel provides room for a book, magazines, documents, or even a small travel neck pillow.
The second zippered compartment is on the very back and is slightly smaller or stepped down from the main compartment. It includes the usual key strap and some angled stitched pockets for pens, business cards and one larger pocket that can hold a Passport or airline tickets, etc.
The third compartment is on the exterior right side and is made of elastic material and is designed to hold a bottle, small umbrella or equivalent. It also has two pull straps to further secure its contents.
Finally, there is a super convenient compartment in the center of the crossover strap with a Velcro closure. This is my favorite feature, since it holds your cell, iPod or more notably, the new iPhone securely across your chest.
Field Tests:
I harnessed the Buzz, adjusted the straps and wore it for a week in and around town. The Buzz and its sling design holds' the 15-inch MacBook Pro, cables, charger, etc. in a vertical orientation on the back. This permits full range of motion for both arms, unlike most soft-sided computer briefcases.
At times, I wanted to shift the load, so I simply reached around with my left hand and lifted up slightly on the bottom as I grabbed the ferry-loop (top strap) with my right hand. In this manner, you can easily adjust the tension on the crossover strap.
The Buzz shoulder bag is advertised as offering “moderate” protection, although it’s quite adequate for most common travel activities. However, I wanted to see if I could fit my MacBook Pro while stuffed in the Tucano “Second Skin” sleeve. To my delight, it fit nearly perfect as though it was made for “The Buzz”. This combination effectively increases the travel protection by at least 2:1.
Wish List:
Accessory provisions or lack thereof, is a shortfall with many bag manufactures. User’s end up stuffing their charger, cables and adapters into secondary bags which all end up at the bottom, resulting in disorganized clutter. I visualize a removable fitted panel with separate compartments or straps that hold a basic array of typical computing items. In fact, I ended up using one of my luggage toiletry panels to help organize my computer gear in the Buzz. It holds everything vertically and eliminated the pile at the bottom.
After field-testing, I decided this bag was definitely a keeper’. However, I would prefer a tighter fit of the MacBook Pro or a matching sleeve. I would also favor a more contoured and softer crossover strap with an exterior I.D. card and pen/pencil slot. Since I’m dreaming here, how about a less abrasive backside for improved comfort.
Conclusion:
The Buzz sling bag is a well-made, lightweight, ergonomic alternative to a backpack or the horizontal briefcase design. It holds most everything one might need for mobile computing while providing an excellent provision for Apple’s new iPhone.
Regards,
~DD

At face value it would suggest the content of your library is too obscure, however it might mean your library is too small for the feature to be active, or that it hasn't catalogued your content yet.

What is your favorite transaction and why?

Just wondering what your secret tools are... Willing to share? Transactions you use all the time, and without them you would be, uh, toast...
My favorite one is SE84 Repository Information System. I use it regularly to find objects in repository, like database tables, views, table fields, function groups, function modules, programs, logical databases, message classes, message number, SET/GET parameters, transactions, variants, screens, business add-ins, customer exits, change requests and authorizations.
A useful hint: You can also search by application hierarcy. For example, in 4.6c to find customer exits within MM, do as follows:
1. Start SE81
2. Select subtree MM with F9
3. Click Information system. SE84 is displayed.
4. Click Envir. and then Exit techniques and then Customer exits. Click enhancements. A search screen is displayed and development class field is pre-filled.
5. Press F8
What is your favorite transaction and why?
Regards,
Jarmo Tuominen

clearly SE80.
Starting 4.7 you have a button on top of the tree navigation where you can click the information system.
So you have (at least) three transactions in one: SE80, se84(85 and SE38.
I wonder why still some people prefer SE38. It's just SE80 minus functionality and overview plus wasted screen space.
Is there any existing function you can execute from SE38 that is not available in SE38? A lot the other way round.
regards,
Clemens
