User interface for choosing movies.

Folks,
My wife and I get movies from Apple TV about once a week. One thing that annoys us is how long it takes to browse through the movies looking for something interesting to watch.
Having to scroll through all of the DVD "box covers" takes way too long. The covers take up so much of the screen that you have to page dozens of times to get from A to Z.
In addition it is sometimes hard to tell what the movie is from the cover. In many cases due to the design of the cover the movie title is hard to read. In these cases we have to move the "cursor" to the movie in order to be able to see the title as it "lights up" underneath the "dvd box".
This makes browsing take even longer.
My suggestion would be for the interface to be reversed. That is show only the names of the movies in rows and columns and pop up the box cover of the selected movie (the one the cursor is on) in the top, bottom, right or left margin.
Let me know what you think,
KW

The grid does seem to waste space. I liked the movie trailers section pretty good when you could see the cover art as you scroll down the list on the right. It just made it alot quicker to see if a new trailer was out or not. It would be nice if browsing movies was easier. I think the grid layout sort of resembles a video store shelf and maybe that was what they were going for... something that looks like a video store.
But if you think about it more logically, when a person is browsing titles in a video store, they look at each one individually (even for a split second) and process the cover art and the title and move on until they find what they want. The column list provides this level of interaction for me. Its faster because I only have to move in one direction to see all the movies.
On my 50" tv I cant even see the covers good enough to avoid scrolling all over the place, burning up my remote battery! (its a conspiracy to sell more batteries! )
I think it should be a preference for each menu set, grid or column list.
Anybody else want to be able to customize at the very least the views for these types of things? They could put it at the top of each screen grid or column. Maybe even use those little view selector icons they use in iTunes...

User interface for updating/adding attributes in OID

Hello,
I have not done the develop work in OAS10g (web, oid, +) though I have years experiences as DBA in OAS and Oracle database servers.
I need to develop a user interface for users to add or update the user's attributes such as sn, manager etc.
The IDM system is working in prod: OAS 10g r2, installed (upgraded to) with infrastructure and oid 10.1.4.3.
OID: user attributes have been loaded with: CN, UID, mail and etc.
The requirement
User interface: an app based Ohttp web 10g
I'd like the interface works like:
The user accessing the web interface, is prompted with UID and mail. if the user correctly fills the fields, then will be prompted with the attributes which user can add or update.
Because I have Not done any development in OAS (web, oid), I need know what skills I need to aquire. ANd how should I proceed?
I may know the skills would be Ohttp development and OID API (LDAP), but I need these be specific as much as possible.
Can any point the direction with examples and docs?
TIA
GA

---ABP thanks.
1) the app for user to add/update the attributes. we cannot give orcladmin to them
2) though the users as their own can access the oiddas, there are only limit of user info could be updated, which cannot serve the attributes we customized and loaded in OID.

User Interfaces for Lists

hi,
How to create user interfaces for lists
thanks.

HI,
The R/3 system automatically, generates a graphical user interface (GUI) for your lists that offers the basic functions for list processing, such as saving or printing the list. If you want to include additional functionality, such as pushbuttons, you must define your own interface status. To create a new status, the Development Workbench offers the Menu Painter. With the Menu Painter, you can create menus and application toolbars. And you can assign Function Keys to certain functions. At the beginning of the statement block of AT END-OF-SELECTION, active the status of the basic list using the statement: SET PF-STATUS STATUS.
Cheers,
Chandra Sekhar.

How to design the user interface for Indesign cs6 plugin ?

Designing user interface using custom c++ library(SDK) for pluging is very tedious work .so when I search the net than i found that we can do it using Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder but i dont know how to use it to develop user interface for plugin and to how to enable event handling in this UI .I read lots of document regarding this on net but they all created lots of confusion in my mind so can anyone help me to know steps which i must follow to develop plugin using this or whatever technology (action script,java script etc)

If you want to develop Extensions using Creative Suite Extension builder then i think this is not the right forum for you. Please post your specific queries regarding this at the below mentioned link
http://forums.adobe.com/community/creativesuites/cs_sdk
To give a brief of how to develop UI using JS you can use ScriptUI to develop your UI, it is a fast and OS independent approach to UI development. The UI created using JS is native in look. You can refer the following link for some help on ScriptUI
http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/scriptui.html
I don't have much info regarding development in CS SDK, but i can point you to one more direction of dev called as hybrid plugins wherein the UI is created in CS SDK, and appropriate methods are exposed from the C++ plugin(enhancing the script object model) to be called up by the CS code for too and fro communication between these two modules of code.
Hope these pointer help you in getting started.

User Interface for Multiple Sensors

Hi all,
I want to create an application where in i should be able to acquire data for Accelerometer, pressure, strain, LVDT and Temperature sensors. I want to create a Font Panel as shown in the attachment, i should configure any of the sensors by selecting the check box. Please find the attachment.
I created the prototype design using NI Signal Express, i am not able to customize the Step Set-up window as per my requirements(Shown in the attachment).
Any help regarding how to go about it, whether in LabVIEW or in Signal Express. I would be really glad if you any ideas.

You can certainly do what you want in LV, but you all have to create the UI manually. Beyond that, this configuration dialog is just another LabVIEW program.
What exactly is the problem you are having? I can't open your code because NI still hasn't released the beta version of LabVIEW 2015 for Android.

User interface for the CAF project

hi
             to make user interface for the CAF i have written a simple
webservice application for storing the data in the database using JDBC operation
   i have imported the webservice in the EXTERNAL SERVICE and mapped
in the required in the entity service , every thing worked fine but when i have
imported the model for developing the USER INTERFACE for the webservice
   there is no EXECUTABLE NODE
      can anyone provide a clear idea how i can proceed further .

Couple of things - you can open the interface for any instrument or plug-in by double-clicking its insert slot on the channel strip. You can configure Logic to automatically open the interface for a plug-in when you first instantiate it in the preferences. Go to Logic Pro > Preferences > Display > Mixer, and check the box for "Open plug-in window on insertion".

User interface for Application Wizard Questionnaire - Order of Questionnair

Hi
Hi We have ECC6, eRecruitment 603 and have a query regarding the user interface for application wizard for the Application HRRCF_A_REF_APPLWIZRAD_EXT, Web dynpro component HRRCF_C_QUESTIONNR_UI.
We need to know if it is possible to influence the order in which the questionnaires appear for the user to complete.
Example: We have designed the process template to have quesitonnaires in a certain order, Reason for Application first and then Additional Information and then Equal Ops questionnaire. But when the user applies and clicks on the road map questionnarie they do not appear in this order.
many thanks

We have found that SAP note 1386825 fixes this issue. For existing requisitions to pick up the fix they have to be resaved.

I do not see the user interface for the Logic software instruments. I can hear them play through my midi keyboard but I cannot see them to adjust parameters. Please advise.

A more successful experiment in creating compositable user interfaces for Config Dialogs

A couple weeks ago I posted an experiment in creating compositable user interfaces using transparent subpanels. The approach might best be described as, "It at least was notable for being novel."
Today, I'm posting another attempt, this one along more traditional lines, and far more successful. Particularly notable: this one can do all the arbitrary composition of the last one AND it solves the TAB order problem.
This solution uses a picture control and renders N copies of a control. When the user tabs to a control or moves the mouse over the control, a real control slides into that position to be able to catch the events (update mouse over draw state, highlight for keyboard focus, handle typing, etc). When the Value Change occurs, a master array of data is updated and the picture control is updated.
This is something that has been attempted in various forms in the past, but there are two aspects of this particular implementation that make it nice:
its programmatic interface for specifying the behavior of the various objects should make it fairly easy for a user of the framework to programmatically generate their dialogs
it handles the TAB problem without flickering, something I haven't seen in other attemps
This idea spawns out of conversation about the previous experiment -- thanks to those of you who posted on various forums, e-mailed me, or, in a couple cases, showed up at my desk. That last one is not something I'm encouraging unless you work at NI... just saying. :-)
Now, this experiement has already yeilded some interesting conversation. We note that as long as controls are instantiated independent of each other -- that is, no property of one control depends upon the property of another control -- this dialog system scales nicely. But in this experiment, I implemented Radio Buttons, which interact with each other -- when one is set True, the others go False. As soon as controls start interacting with each other (such as graying out one control when a checkbox is toggled, or having expandable sections, or really complex cases like updating a graph as some options change, like happens in some Express VI config dialogs) then we start needing ways to refer to the other controls. This rapidly moves us in one of two directions: naming controls or creating references. The naming approach is definitely my preference as it fits better with dataflow and I can do some interesting effects with breaking apart some of the tree. But all of this quickly starts sounding like "Please implement a XAML parser in LabVIEW." For those of you unfamiliar with XAML, in the world of UI design, it might very well be the coolest thing since sliced bread. A XAML string would indeed fit with dataflow, and we could start building that up. I hesitate to head down this road for two reasons. One, as many have noted, there's really not a good XML parsing library written in LabVIEW that can give me a useful DOM tree. Two, that's a huge project and my gut sense is that you'd have to complete a fairly large chunk of it before you'd start seeing any return on investment. But it is worth thinking about -- I might be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. This code that I've posted today can at least get you started on the generation side if one of you decides to become industrious.
I'm turning my attention away from this project for now... coding in G is lots of fun, and I wish I could spend more days doing it, but this has been a side project and it's time to get back to my assigned projects in text programming. Building a powerful platform for automatic UI generation in LabVIEW would be really useful -- I see lots of requests for this sort of thing, and other languages are pulling ahead of us in this domain.
[UPDATE 5/17/2012 - There is an improved version.]
Solved!

Thanks for posting this Aristos. I would normally be one of those to go bug you at your desk, but in case I'm not the only one with this question... which particular flickering problem are you referring to? The act of switching tabs? In all honesty, I've never noticed...
When you move controls around on the screen, normally you try to Defer Panel Updates while you do that. But Defer Panel Updates has an effect on control's abilities to catch certain mouse clicks, so when you're trying to move a control to catch the mouse, you have to work a lot without Defer Panel Updates, so if you're adjusting captions, etc, to match the new location, you can see flicker as properties adjust. You can move the control off-screen, as long as you have already updated the picture control to reflect the changes. It took a while to catch all the ways that the flickering can crop up. I think I got 'em all.
Attached are the VIs saved for LV 2009. Actually, they're saved for LV 8.6, but it doesn't work in 8.6 because of a bug in the picture control that existed back then.

One user interface for multiple VIs

I searched and searched for an answer to this so if it's out there please direct me to it.
I have an application that has roughly 10 different VIs. These VIs are virtually the same. All they are doing is monitoring data for the operator for instance: Temperatures, Pressures, Vibrations, etc.,. I would like to implement a user interface where the operator could click on a button at the bottom of the screen that would take them to the temperature screen. Once the temperature screen is displayed, I would like to be able to click on a different button that goes to the Pressure screen. In other words, I want the operator to be able to access any screen they want from any screen they are currently viewing. So all the buttons would be at the bottom of every screen. And any screen would be able to access any other screen. I just have not found a good way to do this. Every thing I've tried always ends up coming back to a "main.vi".
Multiple answers are welcome! Thanks.

When is it possible to have the same User Interface for all screensizes?

Hi all, i am final year student doing some research about User Interface Fragmentation on Mobile devices. As we already know, there are a huge variety of mobile screen sizes, and usually to provide users the best experience interfaces, we often have to customize the UI of one application in one phone to another. So i wondered when it is OK to have the same UI for all screen sizes?
Thanks.

It's usually OK if you don't use CustomItem, avoid extra-long Strings in titles etc. You might also need to scale any Canvas / GameCanvas graphics and Images using a scaling factor computed from the detected screen size.
I have 3 applications for free download from GetJar.com (search "Colorz") which have only the one version for all MIDP 2.0 devices, and there have been no complaints in a combined total of over 11,000 downloads ;-)
In any case, UI diversity is the least of the headaches any j2me developer faces, there are many features of j2me that are unimplemented or incorrectly implemented on various devices. Even the CLDC reference implementation has unaddressed bugs.

User Interface for BPS Planinc

Hi,
What is a common way for users to execute planning applications?
I've read about planning folders but still dont understand the user interface. (via BEx?etc. Roles?)
We're not using any web functionality. Please suggest a user-friendly way to execute planning.

Hi Frank,
In planning application create planning area, then planning level. then manual planning. Under Manual Planning create layout. While creating layout you select the option of Excel or SAP ALV grid.
Its better that you create layout with Excel and then using BPS_WB create web interface for this excel. Then user will need to use the web interface. This is easy way.

User Interface for bulk loading images using interMedia

I would like to create an interface where users could bulk load images to a database. Has anyone created a web (or other) interface that would perhaps call a PL/SQL procedure or SQLloader?
Is there a way for users to upload images from there own computers in bulk? Would they need to utilize SQLPLUS?
While I have seen the examples and plan to create a web interface for uploading images one at a time, I have been requested to find a way for the users to upload images in bulk themselves (instead of them requesting us technical people to do it).
Thanks for any suggestions.
Judy

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Simon Oxbury:
Hi,
There's a sample on OTN that discusses loading multimedia data in bulk into the interMedia types using both SQL*Plus (with PL/SQL) and SQL*Loader. Check out the following URL: http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/intermedia/htdocs/avi_bulk_loading.html
One major difference to consider between SQL*Loader and SQL*Plus (with PL/SQL) is that SQL*Loader can load data from files on the machine running SQL*Loader, which may be a different machine than the database, although it still needs an Oracle installation. Whereas SQL*Plus with PL/SQL can load data only from directories that are accessible to the database server and that have been defined in the server using the CREATE DIRECTORY command, which requires privs. Also note there are restrictions and issues specific to both NT and Unix when it comes to access network directories from the server.
If SQL*Loader looks like a possibility, you might want to think about a simple Java program, Perl script, or some such, to create the SQL*Loader scripts. On the other hand, if you get into Java, then you could use Java to do the upload and, at the same time, provide some level of application-specific user interaction and/or error reporting, etc. Its easy to get a list of file names in a directory using the File.list or File.listFiles methods in Java. On the other hand, if we talking LOTs of files, then SQL*Loader may turn out to be more efficient.
In order to better understand the variety of ways in which our customers are using interMedia, we'd be very interested in knowing a little more about your application, the interMedia functionality that you are using, and how you are developing and deploying your application. If you are able to help us, please send a short email message with some information about your application, together with any comments you may have, to the Oracle interMedia Product Manager, Joe Mauro, at [email protected]. Thank you!

When adobe will provide a good touch user interface for lightroom?

We are in 2013 and any new windows 8 is for touch users. Even working in a desktop mode, a photographer can have a surface pro computer and won't be able to use lightroom without a mouse.
Any plans to bring bigger icons on lightroom?
Thanks in advance.

it is interristing that all the answers appear to be very conservative about the interface.
I am a big fan of lightroom, so i won't consider criticizing my favourite software.
I also know that win 8 and touch devices are still confidential today.
But i believe this concept will grow up.
Probably, we will have to wait until apple and their mac goes into touch computers ways. At this moment, probably, adobe will decide to follow the move and change their UI in both system at the same time instead of having two different UI depending on your sytem.
But you have to consider that productive touch devices are going to be the reference. Who wants to spend 1000 $ on a non touch device when the new intel processors will allow as much battery time as an ipad. Look at the new air book. 11 hours of autonomy. When win 8 machines will be out there, a ,photographer on the filed will probably want to have one of those. and enjoy a touch UI with lightroom.
Or, obviously, i am completley wrong.
Or again, it is too soon for a lightroom with touch UI on a productive machine.
PS: i won't be a client for a "lightroom app" with very light use. like photoshop touch or anything alike.
