Switching back to Book Layout Editor

As I'm arranging my pictures in my first Aperture book, there are a couple of photos that need a few simple adjustments. For the most part, this means lightening some of the darker, shadows, areas. I'm editing my book in "Split View" mode of course, within the Book Layout Editor mode. If I double-click on a picture thumbnail at the bottom and switch from the Library to Adjustments tab on the left-hand side I can make my simple changes. When I'm done, how do I "escape" the adjustments window? If I click back to the "Library" tab my book is already highlighted. If I double-click the book under the lists of projects in the Library tab, it edits the name of the book but I don't return to the Book Layout Editor mode. My single picture I just made an adjustment on remains on the screen. If I click the "Split View" icon in the toolbar, I get back to the split view of all my pictures in the book but there's still no Book Editor Mode... What am I missing? I can get back to the book by selecting another project (or book) and the re-selecting the book I was just working on from my list of "Projects & Albums", but this seems really klunky. Depending on which project I choose, this takes a moment as well. How do I return to my book after making an adjustment on a picture?

Thanks for that. I thought I had clicked on every icon possible already. To get that icon back, though, I still have to switch from "single" image back to "split view" first. Is there a keyboard command for that besides cycling through the views?

How to switch back to standard layout?

I double clicked on the preview on the left top to make it slightly bigger because it was tiny, then all my scopes dissapeared and the preview is still tiny, when I right click all it says is full screen and quarter screen, both dont do anything.
Tried restarting Color as wll as restarting my mac, nothing.
I just want the layout to be normal again

To toggle the preview image between full and quarter-screen:
* Double-click the image preview in the Scopes window.
* Control-click or right-click the preview image in the Scopes window, then choose Full
Screen from the shortcut menu.
All video scopes are hidden while the preview display is in full-screen mode.

Switching back and forth between 2 JFrames, rendering the other non-visable

This seems to be my last problem with this assignment thankfully, everything else is completed. As per topic description, My assignment is to create a calculator like the windows XP calculator. It must have a 'standard view' on start up and the option to switch to a scientific calculator and switch back and forth as needed.
As you most likely are aware the scientific calculator is approximately 1.3x the size of the standard calculator. I did look into CardLayout and TabLayout but from what I can gather these can't change sizes. I found this post: [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=623561] Which is the same methods I had already tried. None of them worked.
Being this is my first experience with swing, I naturally followed my books design which was to extend JFrame and implement other classes. I feel this may be the wrong course of action now.
public class Calculator extends JFrame implements ActionListener,
            KeyListener, WindowListener
private JMenuBar menuBar;
private JMenu mEdit, mView, mHelp;
private JMenuItem copyItem, pasteItem, helpItem, aboutItem;
public Calculator()
    ... add(menu);
public JMenuBar createMenu()
    ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup();
    rbStandard = new JRadioButtonMenuItem("Standard");
    rbStandard.setSelected(true);
    group.add(rbStandard);
    mView.add(rbStandard);
    rbScientific = new JRadioButtonMenuItem("Scientific");
    rbScientific.addActionListener(this);
    group.add(rbScientific);
    mView.add(rbScientific);
    menuBar.add(mView);
    return menuBar;
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Standard"))
      if (! isStandard)
        if (this.isDisplayable())
          this.requestFocus();
          this.setVisible(true);
          rbStandard.setSelected(true);
          sc.setVisible(false);
          isStandard = true;
        else
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
                    "Something is wrong this WILL NOT SHOW !!!\n",
                    "It's STUFFED!\n", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    else if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Scientific"))
      if (isStandard)
        sc.setVisible(true);
        rbScientific.setSelected(true);
        this.setVisible(false);
        isStandard = false;
private class Scientific extends JFrame
    public Scientific()
      add(menuBar);
}Ok that is a very basic overview of what the class looks like, the Standard calc hides itself and goes into Scientific mode very well, however when trying to switch back to Standard nothing happens, as you can see from that Action method I have tried numerous things, including dispose(). I need the standard view to become the scientific view and change it's size. I have read a lot of the swing tutorials and I can not think how to do this. Keep in mind that when Standard calc switches to scientific it does not open a new window, the window simply morphs. (this happens at the same orientation to desktop as well).
2 questions:
1. Does anyone know how I can switch back to standard calc?
2. Should I redesign my project (which is currently sitting at 1200 lines and a single class(with inner classes)) and how?
What is a good way to design a swing application such as this? (or is having the class extend JFrame perfectly normal?)
Edited by: Gcampton on Sep 19, 2010 7:47 AM
Additionally, I forgot to mention, I use the menu bar already defined in standard calculator(outer class) inside my scientific(inner class), all the options within scientific mode work exactly as they do in standard. Except of course for switching back to standard. Also the boolean variable isStandard, is not the problem as I have tested without it. the "About Calculator" "Help Topics" "copy" "paste" menu buttons all work and perform the actions as implemented in the Standard Calculator actionPerformed(ActionEvent e), The scientific actionPerformed() method IS BLANK!!!
I was somewhat surprised at this, yet thankful as well. I didn't want to have so much repeat code in the inner class.

I shouldn't have been so quick to think I won't run into any more problems...
I've copied code straight from java tutorials [http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/editorpane.html]
            JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane();
            editorPane.setEditable(false);
            java.net.URL helpURL = About.class.getResource("Doc2.html");
            if (helpURL != null)
                try
                    editorPane.setPage(helpURL);
                catch (IOException e)
                    System.err.println(
                            "Attempted to read a bad URL: " + helpURL);
            else
                System.err.println(
                        "Couldn't find file: About.html");
            //Put the editor pane in a scroll pane.
            JScrollPane editorScrollPane = new JScrollPane(editorPane);
            editorScrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(
                            JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
            editorScrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 145));
            editorScrollPane.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(10, 10));
            return editorScrollPane;I have the html document in root eclipse folder, in bin and src. yet it does not display. I also have icons in my root folder and they display fine:
this.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("about.png").getImage());Is this way depreciated? or is there somewhere else I should have the document?

Can you change the units used for size and position in layout editor?

Hello,
In Aperture 3.4, does anyone know if you can change the units used for size and position in layout editor? The page is set in inches, but the image size and position are given in centimetres and I would prefer to work all in inches to create custom layouts. I can't see any way to change this. If anyone knows how it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Aperture uses the unit settings defined in the System Preferences. Set the "Measurement Units" in the "Region" tab of the "Language & Text" preferences to "US"; the Aperture will display the Size & Position in inches, if it is the "Book" layout manager you are asking about.
Merry Christmas!

Can you switch back between CS5 and CS5.5 with the same project with Premiere??

Hey all,
I just got CS5.5 for Mac (Lion) and was wondering if i am able to save a project and open it with CS5 Premiere because I work with one other editor who has CS5. I have tested saving a project in CS5.5 and opening it in CS5 but it says that it needs to convert first but then it seems to work fine. So basically, is there workflow good between the 2? Any known issues or anything else i should know about when switching back and forth?
Also, I have the student edition of CS5.5 and was wondering how many times can I install it? I plan on buying a new computer in a few months from now but currently have 2 and was wondering if i should install it on both my current computers and then deactivate one and install it on my new computer in the future? Or is there a limit and that will not work?
Thanks!!

Because it has to create a new "version" of your project every time you go back and forth, you'll end up with umpteen versions if you go back and forth every time which could become a nightmare for you... And because it creates new "versions" every time, you're far more likely to end up with a corrupted file at some point... I'd stay away of going back and forth between versions...
As an aside, does anyone know if you can go back and forth between the same version (CS5.5) on different platforms (Mac/PC)? I may need to start doing that soon at work, and I've never tried...

Unable to add text in layout editor

I am working with: Reports version 6.0.8.11.2
OS is: Solaris 8
I am creating a new report, and everytime I click on the text tool in the layout editor, I get the text box, but when I type - it doesn't take the input. It is almost as if my keyboard is locked. Does anyone have any suggestions, or solutions?
I am also new to reports, so if there is anything that needs to be unlocked, or done first before I can put text on the layout, please let me know. Thanks!
C

Thanks for the suggestions. For a quick solution - We just ported the reports to a windows box, and modified them there, and then ported them back to the Solaris box without a hitch.
(I actually preferred the windows development environment to the Solaris ... )

[BUG] Upgrade corrupts photo book layouts!

Here's something to add to the plethora of bugs in iLife'11. Whenever I open a photo book that was created with an earlier version, I briefly see the "Upgrading photo book…" message, and after that, all photos are default-zoom and centered at their spots in the book layout!
I have >20 books in my library and a lot of effort went into making their layout just perfect. The problem does not yet appear in iPhoto 8.1.2, I have been experimenting with several "upgrade paths" from iPhoto 7.1.5 to iPhoto 9.0.1 now. It is clearly a problem in iPhoto 9.
When going directly from iPhoto 7 to 9, by the way, you lose all the key photo selections that you have done in your events (>200 for me…), as already reported here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12495859&#12495859
So if any of you are also keeping their photos in nicely layouted photo books, I strongly recommend waiting with the upgrade to iLife'11 until Apple fixes the upgrade process to NOT destroy any data.

Same problem here with all photo books!
iPhoto '11 does in fact display a warning after the update, something like "update successful, but please check before ordering". Well, I checked, and I found all books are corrupted (zoom and offset are wrong as described above).
This dialog however is a pathetic way of dealing with the (apparently known!) problem, Apple!
Even worse, I noticed that TimeMachine backup (inside iPhoto) does not list photo books, so the only way back (after wiping iPhoto 11 from the hard drive and re-installing the previous version) seems to be to replace the whole iPhoto Library manually (I sincerely hope that the photo books are stored in there and not anywhere else - does anyone know for sure?)
There also is no way to export a photo book (apart from non-editable PDF) and to re-import it on another MacOS installation (with an earlier version of iPhoto), is there? So until I find a solution and the time to try it out, I need to keep my pre-update backup of the whole iPhoto Library. And I must not make any significant changes to the new library, because there very probably is no way of merging those changes into the old one.

An add-on to force firefox switch back to default search engine in search bar

Hi,
I have a couple search engines installed in firefox's search bar. I find it extremely annoying that each time I change the search engine it remains like that even after restarting firefox. Is there any add-on that would switch back to the one that is on the top of the list (which happens to be my default search engine for navigation bar as well) every time I restart the browser?
Let me give you an example: I use duckduckgo as a default search engine for the nav bar and in the search bar. Let's say I need to find a definition for which I use wikipedia search engine. I switch to wikipedia one then. I turn off the browser and the next time I start firefox the search engine that appears in the search bar is wikipedia and I would prefer it to be duckduckgo.
I hope it isn't to vague.
cheers,
Omen

Easiest is to set the preferred default engine to the preferred search engine via the user.js file in the Firefox profile folder by copying the related user_pref() line to this file.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can search the <b>about:config</b> page for browser.search. to locate the pref(s) that you need.
*user_pref("browser.search.defaultenginename", "Google");
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
* Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
* Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) user.js file in this folder (the names are case sensitive)
* Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as user.js<br />Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working user.js.txt file

I had same problem. During GUI install I didn't select "Graphical Layout editor: Screen painter" so the DLL were missing in my windows desktop system. Put the GUI CD back and run setup.exe, select option "add/remove Frontend components" from there select option "Development Tools->Graphical Screen Painter". This will install the files in the desktop. Then logon to SAP R/3 system go to user settings and turn on "graphical layout editor". Re-login to SAP R/3 and double click "call screen 100" to invoke graphical layout editor. Hope this helps.

Is it possible to save book layout to be opened on another Mac?

I'm trying to figure out how to save a book layout of images to be opened on a much faster Mac. Is this possible? Allot of time was spent creating this layout, and I'm hoping not to have to recreate, but to save the layout and images to a external hard drive shared. Please help. There are to many cooks in the kitchen to be passing around a lap top. A PDF just won't cut it.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Can't wait to get a G5

kaphotography:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Not in the way you're thinking of. What you'll need to do is duplicate your library, rename it Book Library, open it with iPhoto and delete all the photos that are not in the book and those you think might be added and then copy that Book Library folder to the fast Mac. You could try to share the library with all of the other Macs but that might be much more difficult that the Book Library method.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Cannot switch back from windows keyboard setup

I switched the option and command key in system preferences so the layout would be correct on my windows keyboard but now the keys will not switch back (they say they are switched but do not work that way) Does anyone know how to fix this?

Presumably you mean back to OSX.
You can either locate the Bootcamp utility in the system tray and click it and choose reboot to OSX or you can reboot and hold the Alt key after the chime and select Macintosh HD.

Metadata. Check the files and strip it or save to a format that doesn't support it in teh first place. Perhaps the copy&paste messes up some stuff on that level such as DPI flags or stored printer data...

My girlfriend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the Canada store and spend most of it with .02¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't.

My friend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the US store and spend most of it with 11¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't. iTunes keeps saying "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.*

You might just have to contact Apple and ask them to remove it (losing it). Usually people clear a balance by buying one song and having the exact remainder charged to their credit card, but if you don't have a US credit card you cannot do that.

Runtime tab canvas does not look the same as designed in layout editor.

I created a tab canvas with the following physical properties:
Corner Style - Chamfered
Width Style - Variable
Active Style - Bold
The canvas looks nice in the layout editor, with the above properties. However, at runtime, the tab canvas seems to ignore the above properties and instead shows up with non-chamfered looking (whatever chamfered means) fixed-width rectangular tabs and the active tab page label is not in bold font. Is there a runtime setting that I'm missing here?
null

I am experiencing the exact same thing. The width of the tabs in the layout editor is varied depending on the length of the text. However, at run-time, the width of the tabs is fixed, causing the tabs to be wider than the window and a set of VCR buttons to appear in the upper right corner of the canvas. Personally, I think this is a Forms bug. Why would they intentionally let us set the width to variable at design-time only to force a fixed width at run-time?
