Tiler Desktop Environment with support for iconified files and dirs

I like to put a lot of my temporary files and directories I am working with on the desktop as icons so I can easily start them by the click of a button. However in gnome I am always manually tiling my windows. Is there any tiler with icon support? Or do you recommend running a tiler inside a more complex desktop environment?

Hi Bob,
Yes, this info got burried. Basically, it's a tool for building LabVIEW-based software products. It is highly flexible/extensible and tries to fill the holes left by LabVIEW's built-in Application Builder. Here are some good links to more info:

I use a Withings scale. Yes, it requires the Withings apps but syncing has been pretty seamless. The HealthKit framework is designed to allow applications to share information. At this point, it doesn't appear to be designed to allow devices to share information with the Health app directly. Given the fairly rudimentary nature of the way information is displayed by Health, this makes sense. Health is great for making sure that the weight data from my Withings scale gets synced to My Fitness Pal and Runkeeper. It's far more useful to me to see my weight data in MFP where it is used with the food diary and the movement data from my UP24 to give me a good picture of what I need to be doing. Health just doesn't really compare. It gives you basic graphs and that's about it.
So, I guess what I'm saying is don't discount the scales that require an app. The Withings app is very nice. It also lets me take my resting pulse every morning (which is sent to Health).

OS X support for offline files

Dear all,
I have a mixed environment of workstations running both OS X and Windows that connect to file shares hosted on Windows file servers. In order to be able to manage the storage space effectively, tape based archiving was implemented using Symantec's Enterprise Vault for File System Archiving. EV and many other archiving solutions use the Windows Offline file attribute to mark a file that has been archived off and install a filter driver into Windows so that archived files can be recalled directly from Windows Explorer without requiring additional software (this is also known as a reparse point). Please note that this is different from how Microsoft intended offline files to be used for synchronising between a roaming laptop and a network share (see KB 312717).
OS X does not have any support for offline files natively, both for how Microsoft intended it to be used and for use with archiving software as a reparse point. There are a couple of offerings on the market which add the required functionality to OS X, but recent updates to OS X have rendered these offerings non-functional:
10.6.7 - I understand that Apple replaced the SMB/CIFS modules with their own code. At this point, it no longer became possible to recall archived files using said software offerings, when connecting to a Windows file server via SMB. See Apple bug ID 10836961.
10.7.4 - a kernel update is included which means said software offerings are now not able to block the icon preview in Finder. The icon preview in Finder causes archived material to be recalled which we do not want it to do (imagine the problem when using tape as the archiving platform - this will cause a huge recall job on the tape drives)
This is going to cause significant difficulties as it effectively means that we can't use archiving with OS X to manage our storage costs.
I'm writing this as I'm hoping that someone will know of a product or solution that is able to work around the 2 difficulties noted above, or that someone from Apple is going to read this and realise that this is a serious problem. The ideal that is required is to add support for the offline files, in particular reparse points, directly into OS X.
Many thanks.
A frustrated storage engineer.

Hi Richard,
We are looking at file archiving here and have the same potential issues. We haven't evaluated this product, but it claims to solve the problem:

This is just to report a problem with Apple updates. I updated recently and the computer brought up my 2012 desktop with all my 2014 files and data including stickies missing! Now I hesitate to do another Apple update. What would you do?

If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750. Why no Lightroom support yet?

ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750. Why no Lightroom support yet? Am I wrong or was support for the D810 available far more quickly?

ACR 8.7 has not yet been released. The ACR 8.7RC has been released. It is a Release Candidate - and as such, is not a final version. I wouldn't be concerned about a lack of Lightroom support until a final version is released.

Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?

Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?
This is nuts!

You are not alone.
Actions speak louder than words, but Apple does manage to still distract many from what is self evident before them.
I am astonished by those who swear that non-existent features, or features that pre-exist the current version make Pages 5.2 a major upgrade.
An affect that does seem to wear off with familiarity, as each version of Pages 5 gets a boost in the App Store, only to see the disapproval rating surge back again.
Pages was always one of the top purchases in the App Store, now it doesn't even rate.

Support for Growing files (DNxHD wrapped in MXF) from EVS in Premiere Pro?

We are using Premiere CC Pro on the Mac-plattform against a shared storage soulution. We need to be able to open growing files from an EVS system to edit soccer-highlights while the matches are still playing. The problem is that the codec is DNxHD 120 and the wrapper is MXF op1a. This works fine with a QT-wrapper, but not with a MXF-wrapper. It is not possible for us the change the wrapper on the EVS system, so we need to do something on the editing side. We have tested it, and confirmed that this works fine in Final Cut Pro and Avid, but we want to use Premiere Pro. Can you provide us with a solution? Please do not say that the solution is to use FCP... ;-) Thanks in advance for all help!

Hi Peter!
Latest version. Cc 2014 with all updates.
Mac OSX 10.10.2 Yosemite.
Error during opening. As soon as the file is closed, it opens fine.

Feature request: Slideshow module support for video files

I'm very excited about your MTS support!
Feature request: Slide show module support for video files...
Say you have 10 takes to choose from. Are you able to almost like SLIDESHOW view the 10 clips full screen so you can decide, like a playlist? Or rate them as they play? It would also be great, like SLIDESHOW to be able to export a MP4 with a title, the 10 clips you are working with, and maybe add an end title and a song, just like SLIDESHOW.
I have found editing stills like this in slideshow far faster than in any other editing program.
Basically, I just need a fast means to view or export an MP4 of a set of video clips to review. You are almost there.
great job!!!
Max

I was also disappointed that video is not supported in the slideshow module -I currently have to use another solution when I want stills mixed with videos, would be great to be ablo to keep it all in LR!

How to add support for new file type.

Using the ESDK, I would like to add support for new file type ( a new extension). this new extension will function like any other non visual code editor but will have specific syntax highlighting, code folding and explorer.
I am trying ot figure out if I need to create a new editor or use existing JDeveloper code editor and add support for new file type. Does anyone have a high level outline on how to do this using the ESDK that is specifically targeted at adding new file type support for a text based code editor?
I have looked at the Samples and keep going in multipe directions. It would be cool if there was an example that was how add syntax higlighting for new file type.
Thank you

Brian, thank you. I looked at this extension and it answered a lot of questions for me. I was going in the right direction but needed a little help and bost of confidence, this is just what I needed. I created the LanguageSupport, LanguageModel, Addin, Node and TextDocument that are specific to the new file type. I was getting hung up on how to hook this into the JDevelpoer editor. I keep thinking I have to create a custom editor but it looks like I don't have to and it looks like I can associate this file support with the editor framwork, for version 10.1.3.2, with the following in the Addin Initilize() method.
Recognizer.mapExtensionToClass(MY_EXTENSION, MyNode.class);
CodeEditor.registerNodeType(MyNode.class, MY_EXTENSION);
LanguageModule.registerModuleForFileType(new MyLanguageModule(), MY_EXTENSION);
I have done this but still not able to recognize the new file type.
At this point, I just want to be able to recognize the new file and display it's associated icon or display a messare to the message log. I put a System.out.println("test") in the Initilize() method of my addin. then I registered MyAddin in the extension.xml. JDeveloper sees this new extension and it is loaded but I have not been able to show the test message or display the new icon when I open the new file type.

IOS Newsstand app, add support for .folio files

Hello!
We have an iOS Newsstand app to provide our issues to our clients, and we use a PDF reader.
We would like to add support for .folio files in the app, by using a folio reader in our app.
Searching around, I've only found the specifications for the .folio files and the Adobe Content Viewer app.
Is it possible to have some more specific information on how we can make something like the Adobe Content Viewer app that we can integrate in our app?
For example how we would parse the xml files, what views/controls to use (eg. UIWebview?) etc.
Thank you very much!

Neil let clear something:
- After the .folio specification became public (with license off course) the "This really isn't possible to do" is not truth.
I believe that what people need to know is that: "Are we allowed to build a viewer?" / "Does Adobe allow programmers to give it a go?"
Before March this wasn't allowed but since the spec became public we all hope (and I believe Adobe too) that this format will have an industry standard acceptance - like the PDF. In this case many people will try to create viewers, software, builders etc.
The DPS is a great platform but VERY EXPENSIVE. Companies around the world have developed and are in a position to develop great experiences and great apps. Sharing the .folio is big and this is what we need to clear - and not the number of staff working on the DPS Viewer.
Thank you in advanced.

No sync with audio for input files AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps

No sync with audio for input files AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps.
If i open in Premiere Pro CC any file AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps (with internal audio MP3 or AC3) i got growing out of sync from start to end of file, even while play it at internal media player of Premiere Pro CC for source file.
Using external audio files AC3 or MP3 not help.
In properties of source file i see 23.97 fps instead of 23.976 fps, and time of internal file is wrong.
If i try Clip > Modify > Interpreter Footage > custom settings to 23.976 time i see right time, but when i click "OK", custom fps saved as 23.98 fps instead of 23.976 fps and time of source goes wrong again.
So i always get bad sync such files in Premiere Pro CC while play or export them.
But in all media players, other editors, and in PluralEyes sync OK with all such files.
If i open M2TS or MP4 (H264 23.976 fps) source file, all OK, it it shows as 23.976 fps, time is right, and sync OK.
So i want to add automatic detection 23.976 fps instead of 23.97 fps for source AVI files with 23.976 fps.
Is it possible?

Yes, i know what XviD and DivX does not edit well in Premiere Pro. And because of that i create this topic "No sync with audio for input files AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps" and was hoping to get help in solving the problem, rather than stating that the problem really is.
XviD and DivX it is MPEG4.
Xvid (formerly "XviD") is a video codec library following the MPEG-4 standard, specifically MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile (ASP).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvid
I have many old useful materials in XviD and DivX formats, and have no other formats versions for that material.
XviD and DivX are very compact formats to store video at acceptable quality and it is fully compatible with all players and editors for PC except Premiere Pro.
You suggest to convert them to another format (DV) to make compatible with Premiere Pro... It is not what i want.
Let me explaine:
1) Size of files
uploaded AVI XviD 1280x720 file with very good quality have size 1.9Gb (with audio AC3 2.0). If i convert it via VirtualDub from "AVI XviD" to AVI DVCPRO HD 1280x720 (without audio) it have size 35Gb, and quality is worst than at XviD-HD, and also converting take much time.
2) Compatibility with AC3 and MP3 audio inside AVI
AVI DV / AVI DVCPRO not compatible with AC3 and MP3 audio inside, only with PCM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DV
AVI XviD and DivX can use AC3, MP3, OGG audio without any problems.
Size of 1Hour 30Min "AC3 Stereo 48kHz 16bit 384Kbps" file is 257Mb
Size of 1Hour 30Min "PCM Stereo 48kHz 16bit" file is 1030Mb
3) I have and use hardware H264 encoder card "Matrox CompressHD" for export my material
http://www.matrox.com/video/en/products/compresshd/specs/
This card works only from Adobe Premiere Pro, so i can not use it from VirtualDub or other editing software.
So i need a full compatibility Adobe Premiere Pro with all popular standard formats of input files.
Here we see:
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.html#Supportedvideoformats
Supported video formats:
"Adobe Premiere Pro CC leads the industry with incredible, thorough native media support, meaning you can edit virtually all of the major video, image, and audio formats natively without waiting."
As most PC users knows, AVI XviD it is a very popular free video format, and would be very useful if Adobe will make normal compatibility with that format in Premiere Pro.

Can i development program with EDK for uploading file to server?

Can I development program with EDK for uploading file to server?How to avoid same name of files?
Thanks!

Hi ,
thanks for the quick response.
but the problem is supppose i have a excel sheet with 16 rows and 13 columns(so data).
i am placing this file contents to appserver USING ABOVE fm.
after that i am reading the file from appserver to create SO(idoc),i need 1row-3column data and 2row-2c data.like that.
in unix we will get row data(after uploading to app server) as #mprn#2345# like this so easy to separate when reading.but in MS NT OS 1row data getting stored in different rows in Appserver.so difficult to read.
so the above mentioned FM is OS dependent or is there any way (any other FM) to get same kind of data in different OS.
PLEASE SUGGEST OTHER WISE I NEED TO CODE BASED ON OS.
