User friendly upgrading

As our office is upgrading en masse from CS3 to CS4, I'm hearing frequent complaints about first finding, then copying, all various presets files from CS3 to '4. As has been discussed a few times, not all presets can be copied. And if I remember correctly, hardly any at all work. And the only way to find out is by trying.
Since we're talking about an official upgrade path here -- no fresh installations --, one could imagine a dialog asking for "Presets to copy", with a list of checkboxes for each of document presets, keyboard shortcuts, printing and exporting presets, scripts, default settings, preflight profiles, and whatnot.
What, I hear you say: "Oh, but you cannot just copy old settings, as things might have changed"? Well, (a) the programmers at Adobe know the internal format of each of the presets files, and (b) they know what changed.

I'm not sure what you've been reading, but as far as I know, while you can't copy prefs, you can save all the presets from the define dialogs and reload into CS4. I haven't yet found any that don't work, but it's possible I'm not using all the variables. You can reload any default swatches or styles you  need from another document. Workspaces, however, will not transfer, but that's no big surprise considering the massive differences in the interface.
Of course, having a script to run would be nice.

  • Is it possible to change the Calendar 7.0 view to show 2 weeks instead of 1 week or month view. I find the month view is far too messy and the 1 week too short. To date I found the previous version more visibly user friendly

    I have upgraded to Mavericks and have found the Calendar 7.0 not visually user friendly. The week view is too resrictive and the month view far too messy. Is there any way of editting the view, the ability to change the colour and thickness of the grid lines would at least help. This version of Calendar seems to be a retrograde step.

    Agree.  Positively loathe the new calendar display - each day blends into the next and I can't get my information at a glance.  Looks like it's time to switch to BusyCal or Google Calendar.

  • The new Photos compared to iPhoto is not user friendly

    I have used iPhoto Book functionality to publish a book and it was very intuitive and user friendly. In 1-day I had the 45 pages book done.
    But now with the Photos user interface, I have spent a whole day trying to figure out how it works.
    For example it does not let you move a picture to another part of the page. You have to remove it and place it again. By removing it you have to locate it again in the list of unused pictures. The Unused pictures are place in one row in the bottom and you have to scroll back and forth to find the pictures.
    In iPhoto, you could browse easily inside each theme to choose the most suitable for the purpose. Now this is not possible or at least I did not find out how.
    I read that with Photos, I can see my pictures across all of my devises. The question is how? The help function does not explain it. Do I have to move them in iCloud? When I tried it tells me that I have to buy extra space and nothing more!
    Why did Apple how to change something that was stable and was working all fine? Photos went down twice in 1 day's work. Now it looks more like a "windows" functionality application....

    The second rule of computers:  never upgrade software in the middle of a project.
    That being said, if you had iPhoto 9.6.1 prior to upgrading to 10.10.3 you can still open the iPHoto Library with it and complete your book.  The iPhoto app will still be in the Applications folder.
    If you had an earlier version of iPhoto try the steps listed in this post by Terence Devlin for obtaining iPhoto 9.6.1 from the App Store:

    Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!
    in response to Johannes666
    Recommended
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • How to create user-friendly MDX parameters for MS Reporting Services?

    In SQL Server Reporting Service, when I connect to my cube to create a dataset, in Query Designer I create my query with a filter. It creates the following MDX for me:
    SELECT NON EMPTY
    KPIValue("KPI1"), KPIGoal("KPI1"), KPIStatus("KPI1")
    ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY
    [Create Date].[Month Num].[Month Num].ALLMEMBERS * [Create Date].[Hierarchy].[Month].ALLMEMBERS
    DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION,
    MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM
    ( SELECT
    ( STRTOSET(@CreateDateYear, CONSTRAINED) )
    ON COLUMNS FROM [ERP])
    WHERE
    ( IIF( STRTOSET(@CreateDateYear, CONSTRAINED).Count = 1,
    STRTOSET(@CreateDateYear, CONSTRAINED),
    [Create Date].[Year].currentmember ) )
    CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR,
    FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE,
    FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
    When I add this dataset, Reporting Services creates a parameter named CreateDateYear. When I pass a value like "2014" to this parameter I get nothing and I have to pass a value like
    [Create Date].[Year].&[2014].
    How can I change my report to change this parameter for passing the value like "2014" instead of ugly and not user-friendly string
    [Create Date].[Year].&[2014]?

    Hi ,
      Follow the below steps
      1. Create a dataset with MDX as below which would return the member caption (2005,2006 etc) and member uniquename ([Date].[Calendar Year].&[2005],[Date].[Calendar
    Year].&[2006] etc)
    WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Date].[Calendar Year].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
    MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Date].[Calendar Year].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
    SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue]} ON COLUMNS
    , [Date].[Calendar Year].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS
    FROM [Adventure Works]
    2. In the parameter's available values choose the above data set and set the options as 
    Value Field = ParameterValue
    ValueCaption = ParameterCaption
    In this way use will see only the years and based on the selection the respective values will be passed to the dataset as parameter.

  • They did not get my itune gift card in email. It is not very user friendly to get to a place where I can resend to them.  How can I get a new email sent with their gift? It was for Christmas

    I bought an itune gift card but my sister never received her email.  I can not easily find where to resend.  I did send an email for help but this is just not very 'slick' or user friendly.  How can I get her itune CHRISTMAS gift card re-sent?

    Having the same issue. My bank account has already been charged, but I can't find the purchase anywhere in my Apple account history to retrieve a code, and my son still has not received an email. This is not cool. I'm beginning to understand why so many people dislike the company.

    I have had my Blackberry Curve since last spring and still do not find it user friendly.  The online guide states how to make categories for the memo pad but stops there and does not explain how to save new memos within those categories.  I go back and forth and cannot figure out how to do it.   After pressing many buttons I finally manage to get it where it belongs but have no idea how and when I try adding another go through the same thing.   I had a Palm previously; it was so easy, just make the cateogry, click on it  and then click add new.    Now I click on the category, then new memo and after that the entry goes into outer space somewhere because I cannot find it.   Just clicking save does not work.    Sometimes I can find the entire list of items in every category but cannot figure out how I did it because there is no actual option to do that.  I often wish I had gone with a different smartphone but am locked in now for another 2+ years with basically a phone but nothing else.    I am still using the smartphone part of my Palm for data, memos, etc., because it is so much easier to use; unfortunately I cannot get another battery for it so its use wll be gone when the battery does.    .I wanted a smartphone so I just had to carry one device; now I am back to carrying two, a Palm PDA and a Blackberry phone.   .      

    Actually I did get these replies in my e-mail, thanks.   However, I did finally toss the Blackberry and got an iPhone.  It is so much easier to use, right out of the box I was able to  make calls whereas it took me some considerable time to figure out how to even do that with the BB.     And the Memo section on it great, very easy to use, not to mention the other basic apps like calendar and contacts.   Very user friendly.    .  

  • I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

    I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

    Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
    The calendar however,  is not easy to use.
    The typing function on the phone has  become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

  • Configuring Oracle Application Server to use a user friendly url

    Hi All,
    I am having trouble configuring the apache httpd.conf file within an applicaton server to be able to use user-friendly urls for the infrastructure identity management tools server. I also need this for security reasons as well as hardware reasons - loadbalancing.
    At the moment I have a standard setup, whereby the sso application server is using port 7777. I would like the user not to enter the port, but to enter just a standard url, like http://login.<company>.com.au, so that if the user needs to modify oid using the oiddas web application, they can enter something like http://login.<company>.com.au/oiddas/ rather than http://<machine host name>:7777/oiddas/. This would also be used by portal for sso logins.
    From the standard installation, Apache was configured as follows:
    Port 7777
    Listen 7777
    ServerName <machine host name>
    DocumentRoot <root document folder>
    Now reading the documentation from the Oracle Application Server Installation notes for the Http Server, they document how to do this (in the loadbalancer section - this will eventually be used in the hardware setup):
    Port 80
    Listen 7777
    Listen 80
    # Virtual Hosts
    # This section is mandatory for URLs that are generated by
    # the PL/SQL packages of the Oracle Portal and various other components
    # These entries dictate that the server should listen on port
    # 7777, but will assert that it is using port 80, so that
    # self-referential URLs generated specify www.oracle.com:80
    # This will create URLs that are valid for the browser since
    # the browser does not directly see the host server.oracle.com.
    NameVirtualHost <machine ip>:7777
    <VirtualHost <nameofmachine>:7777>
    ServerName login.<company>.com.au
    Port 80
    </VirtualHost>
    # Since the previous virtual host entry will cause all links
    # generated by the Oracle Portal to use port 80, the server.company.com
    # server needs to listen on 80 as well since the Parallel Page
    # Engine will make connection requests to Port 80 to request the
    # portlets.
    NameVirtualHost <machine ip>:80
    <VirtualHost <nameofmachine>:80>
    ServerName login.<company>.com.au
    Port 80
    <VirtualHost>
    Note that I used slightly different names for the url's rather than the oracle names www.oracle.com and server.oracle.com
    Now after applying this, I noticed not only could I not go to the oiddas from the original machine name, but also couldnt go there from the new machine name.
    Also I was not even able to go to the standard index page whereby you can go to the enterprise manager for the application server, from either names.
    The following urls provide me with "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" error message:
    http://login.<company>.com.au:7777/
    http://<nameofmachine>:7777/
    The following urls provide me with "Page Under Construction" error message:
    http://login.<company>.com.au/
    http://<nameofmachine>/
    Could someone please tell me why this is the case, considering I am using the installation procedures Oracle has published within the Oracle Http Server Admistrators Guide (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14007/netconf.htm#sthref379).
    Cheers
    Rodney

    Hi Rondey,
    Ik think that I can see your probleem.
    Just change the following line at your httpd.conf, then restart the component.
    First of all if the port is installed with nr. 7777. then the listen process will be on port 7778
    the second thing is just try to do the following steps
    ((Port 80 to Port 7777)))
    Listen 7778
    %%%% In loadbalancer section %%%%%%
    just add the following lines
    Listen 80
    Listen 8103
    Listen 8102
    NameVirtualHost *
    NameVirtualHost *:8103 or 80
    If you want to use this ports (8103 or 8102) for other site (url), then
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName <machine ip> or (host name)
    Hear from U,
    Regards,

  • Translate oracle error message into User-Friendly messages

    I want to translate the following message and display the user-friendly message.
    Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-02290: check constraint ...
    I have a table with MRU,MRD,...
    How do I do that?

    Mine is a sql query(updatable report). I don't have any items, except the columns on the report. One of the column is a select list of user_names( on which I want not null validation). I have "ApplyMRU" and "ApplyMRD",.. to add/delete rows.
    How do I access the columns of report. My column name is "USER_NAME". But when I put this column name in "Validate Item:" field, I am getting:

    Item specified does not exist.

  • Group and display characteristics in a user friendly way

    Hi all,
    We have a scenario where we have created a DOC type which we assigned to a class with several characteristics.
    The problem is that the characteristics are not disaplayed in a very user friendly way in tab "additinal data".
    Is there any customizing we can do in order to group the characteristics?
    For example:
    -Is it possible to show 3 or 4 characteristics and then have an empty line and then show another 4
    -or Is it possible to customize to create sub tabs?
    Any other ideas that can make it easier for the end users to change/display their characteristics would be helpful!
    Best Regards
    Mikael

    Hi,
    Is there any customizing we can do in order to group the characteristics?
    For example:
    -Is it possible to show 3 or 4 characteristics and then have an empty line and then show another 4
    -or Is it possible to customize to create sub tabs?
    All the configuration data is stored in some tables. So adding some lines as a separator into a database won't be possible since tables have fields which have certain data types which won't match the requirement.
    Hence your requirement cannot be met.
    Hope this answers your query.
