Users previlage design questiom

hi all. i am trying to write a inventory control program that connects to a MySQL DB by a browser.
MySQL comes with a default database called mysql. The users are created in that database.
My question is, for my java program, should I use the same mysql database to authenticate the users of the system?
or it would be better if I make a table called user in Inventory database itself?.
What is the approach that I should go about?....
thanks

Definetly create a unique table set - so doing you can sub user types with access flags - admin, clerk, etc....

CS5/CS4 GUI User Interface Design

I have always been very unimpressed with the user interface design on Adobe CS4. It's riddled with problems and changes that make no sense and offer no advantages.
For example, there is no longer a normal Windows title bar in many of the CS4 apps. This makes it much more difficult to maximize/restore applications since normally a Windows user could simply throw the mouse to the top edge of the screen and double click the title bar. In fact, doing this with CS4 apps has ZERO function (it doesn't do anything). One would think that by moving the menu commands to the top bar of the window chrome, Adobe would make these menus accessible from the top-most edge of the screen in order to increase usability. Unfortunately this is not so and clicking the top most edge of a maximized window does nothing.
Two other very important parts of an application user interface are the upper left and upper right corners. Normally when a Windows application is maximized, throwing your pointer to the upper right corner and clicking will close the application. Throwing the pointer to the upper left corner and clicking will reveal the application window menu. This happens in ALL applications... EXCEPT for Adobe CS4 programs. These two extremely important application window command locations have been completely disabled in Adobe CS4 apps. Clicking the upper most corner pixels in a maximized Adobe CS4 app does nothing.
Then there's the tabbed document window interface. If you float a document window and maximize that, normally you would expect it to become maximized within the application window as it should. Au contraire, in Adobe CS4, the document window maximizes itself ON TOP OF the application window, thus obscuring and disabling any access to the application window's tools/commands. I did report that as a bug during beta, but obviously it was ignored. Seems kind of obvious to me that the fact that a user could accidentally make the entire application completely unusable by maximizing a document window might be a problem.
It still alludes me as to why Adobe changed the CS4 user interface to something that breaks so many Windows UI conventions. Adobe CS3 was a practically perfect user interface design on Windows. It was very customizable, all of the normal Windows functions were properly in place.
What's the deal with the change?
I thought maybe the file menu was moved in place of the title bar in order to make more room for other UI elements, but it's actually pretty much the same size as the old file menu title bar combination in CS3.
With all these changes and with all the functionality losses, what exactly have we gained in the CS4 GUI? Seriously, I'm asking.
Anyway, I hope Adobe starts reading the Windows User Experience Guidelines (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511331.aspx) and brings CS5 back to the way a Windows application should behave. Proper theme adherence would be nice too.
Which brings me to Windows 7. I love love love the way Windows 7 groups application document previews in one taskbar icon and allows aero-peek for open windows. Adobe CS 4 obviously does not support this since it does not have normal document windows. I hope CS5 does because it is a great feature. I also hope Adobe CS5 implements the Windows 7 jumplists and maybe even a more touch/multi-touch friendly interface. I've become pretty good at processing photos in Bridge using the touchscreen, and it's very cool, but it could use some improvements.
For an example of great user interface design, has anyone tried Office 2010 on Windows 7 yet? http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090512/screencaps-office-2010-technical-preview-teched- 2009-keynote/
The faded transparent title bar and tabbed ribbon interface is absolutely gorgeous.

@Adam:
I agree with your comments! So well said!
And there are other issues, too -- by the color of the app window, you don't know if the window is active or inactive (focus or not in focus). Titles of panels which are inactive, are dark text over dark background -- hardly readable at all... And many more.
I really hope Adobe are listening...

How much do you get paid annually for this job User Interface Designer?

how much do you get paid annually for this job User Interface Designer?

Apple probably will not discuss salaries even for specific jobs other than with applicants. If you wish to discuss salaries, you'll most likely have to apply for a specific position and then get beyond the initial screening.
This issue has nothing to do with Apple Remote Desktop, the topic of this forum, by the way.

Extension user interface design

Hi all,
I'm looking into how Adobe can help developers make their extensions look better integrated with the Creative Suite.
Probably the most common request we've heard in the past is for an improved Creative Suite Flex theme SWC.
Do you have any further thoughts/feature requests in this area?
I would be particularly interested to know whether you use CSXSLibrary to get the host application's skin information. If you do, does the API provide sufficient information to customise your extension's appearance effectively? If not, is there anything you'd like to see changed in the API for it to be useful to you? Here are the classes currently available:
AppSkinInfo - accessible through CSXSInterface.getHostEnvironment()
AppReskinEvent - dispatched when a CS app changes its appearance.
All feedback much appreciated.
Thanks
David.

The intention is to make the preloader (that's the generic loading bar that displays for a few seconds when the panel first opens) for your extension to be completely invisible.
That will make it take the colour of the content behind it, which is the default panel colour for the application. You could also change the colour of the preloader, to match the eventual one of the panel, or you could create your own preloader SWF.
You can find more information on preloaders for Flex 3 at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=app_container_4.html and a tutorial on creating your own at http://www.leebrimelow.com/?p=916

Caml query to check current logged in user - SharePoint designer

Hi,
I need to create a caml query in SharePoint designer to satisfy the below conditions.
If the logged in user (current user) is a member of a specific group. e.g. Group Name = ISS Owners, ID=5
(OR)
If the logged in user (current user) exists in assigned to field. e.g. Field Name = Assigned To
Reference to the below link is not working for my solutions.
Membership Element (Query)
CAML Query – Membership attribute
Kindly help in resolving caml query issue.
Anandhan.S Remember to 'mark or propose as answer' or 'vote as helpful' as appropriate.

The second condition is pretty straightforward
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="AssignedTo"/>
<Value Type="Integer">
<UserID />
</Value>
</Eq>
but I don't think you can do the former. The <Membership> condition can only be applied to a <FieldRef>, not a generic <Value> argument.
But what would be the purpose of the first condition in the first place? It's invariant, not related to specific list items. Or is the requirement to return all items if the user is a member of a group (Administrators?), but only assigned-To items if not:
If so, is there some way you can refactor the check for the former condition into some higher level logic?

Repository users in Designer 6

Hello.
I upgraded from Designer 1.3.2 to Designer 6. The database version is Oracle
8.0.5.0.1 running on Win NT.
After the upgradation I am not able to access the application systems when
connected as a repository user. The repository users have been granted the
access rights for the particular applications by the repository owner.
How do I get to view the applications as a repository user.
Thanks in advance,
Please Reply,
Arun

It is very important to read the Online Documentation of Designer/2000 ( 6i) before Installing a Repository. There are steps like System Requirements etc and step by step about Installing the Repository. There are steps like New Tablespace, User , Roles etc and once must read these steps before attempting to Install the Repository. I have done this and it worked.
Hope this helps.

Why hasn't Adobe navigation and user interface design improved as much as it could have over time?

I haven't tried CS6. I'm sure it's great based on what i've seen alone. But as a user of adobe products for a number of years, i have to noticed there are still a lot of stagnant,awkward, stiff, irriating, slowing down elements found in the navigation and user interface on cs3-cs5, that i'm sure could have been eliminated or improved on at least from 2005 or 2007 onwards. I find some of these things inexcusable and unprogressive from bad traits that defined 1980's and 1990's general computer navigation and so on.
CS5.5 has lessned this a bid bit and is more fluid in bits and pieces but for those using cs3-cs5 and in general, i find some things just horrid. As a graphic designer no one is supposed to admit the flaws or irrations of these programs. We must hail them as god, never critisize, and always adjust to new things which i think is a bit fascististic and silly
The way the tools, options are laid out can be improved to be quicker, and easier to find and use. Using your voice as a commanding system would be helpful as well.
A lot of cmds are too complex to remember, they can be simplier or resemble the name of the tool or option. Its makes a chore to follow this system and competition for the smart *** who memormized all the cmds.
The way in which you loose floating side boxes, and the amount of tools or names hidden in the bars sometimes seem random and its always a constant search to find them incase you forget where they are.
The inability to open cs4 or 5 files in cs3 is just beyond extremly annoying. Whey shouldn't you be able to open cs1 or 2 files or photoshop 9 files as well? Every five years work expires as well?
The layering system gets tricky and seems that a lot of things don't work when you normally move things. Its about going back, remembering and clicking on this or that, looking it up to make everything work. Sometimes which leaves you in a rut and wastes a good amount of time. You will always find this even after you've been using it for years.
The use of the fill paint/airbrushing, clone tool, lasso tool, pen tool, history being two steps back can be vastly improved to be much better to use
Masking and tools that have more complex features should find a way be automatically done or sampled. They can also have less complex steps and tha ability to be previewed, automatic or simpler ( in case you can't remember how to do something or aren't getting it)
A lot of the special effects, and blending modes are useless, outdated, super-ugly and don't resemble true darkroom effects ( such as polarization, and bas-relief for example) which they could much more vividly done. There also could be more options that are closer to repro cameras/CTP software for halftoning and more complex digital effects.
Having to press or get used to pressing muliple keys or clicks for the most basic things simultaneously can be reduced to be easier
Adjusting text, new documents, photos should have a smoother, quicker navigational experince where things a lot of room to be , clicked back, re-done, saved in the wrong place etc..
Indesign could use more shapes, include more features that illustrator has, and possibly even photoshop to save time.
There should be a way to remind you of features, complex things you've forgotten, other than history and daily usage/practice of the programs
The help should resemble more of "visual -learners" guide books with voice features.
There are a lot more
Regarding other things:
I think the price encorages more piracy and allows people to not have a concept of what is means to owning software.
The loss of a manual or lessening of them for certain programs is a loss because it's always useful to physical info you can flip through while looking at your program.
I think adobe should make entirely better products for professionals or people in the industry rather than spoonfeeding the same software to all.
They should also make less expensive add-ons like before for graphic software.
What do you adobe could have improved over time and if so what do you think they could have improved on?

User previlage in different way

a)i have given previlage on my database to a user like select,insert,update,delete.Along with this i want to give "CREATE view" privilege without giving DBA privilege.How???
b)I want to give restriction on SQL*plus to user.Because sometimes user change data directly by using SQL*plus rather than Front-end Software.It's making greate problem for system.

This is really a question for the DB forum not for Forms, however.
A) grant create view to <user>
B) At the simplest level remove access to SQL plus - if not install the SQL Plus product user profile tables and use these to restrict the operations in SQL*Plus. See the documentation or read the pupbld.sql script which you can find in %db_home%/sqlplus/admin

How to merge two users in design repository

Hi,
i want to clone a design repository. But i got an error.
The problem is that i have 2 User in my design repository. One User is the owner of the tables and one User fills the tables.
For clone the repository i mustn't have 2 Users. Can i migrate the two user into one User?
thanks
Wolle

There's no simple way to merge two accounts. What you can do is log into the account that you want to move (and, presumably, delete) and put all of the data into the Shared folder. Then log into the account that you want to keep and put all the documents, music, etc., from the 'old' account into the keeper account/ Log back into the old account and make sure that all your data is gone, then log back into the keeper account and delete the old account.
It's pretty simple, really, if you just use the Shared folder to move documents.

Registering OWB-user without Designer and OMB Plus?

Is there any way, to register an owb-user via sql or PL/SQL?
Reason: The (customer-)dbas don´t allow to use an OMB Plus/TCL-script or the OWB Designer in the production environment :-(

Do you want to register a location?
If that's the case:
What version of OWB are you on? If you're on versions lower than 10gR2, you could create an extra runtime connection to the production environment in your test or acceptance environment, register the production locations from the deployment manager and deploy the connectors.
I don't know how to do this in 10gR2
Good luck in fooling the DBA's ;-)

For a reporting alternative (design in Word or Excel)

If you are looking for an alternative in reporting, please take a look at Windward.
Windward Reports, the leader in enterprise report generation, has released the world’s first enterprise reporting software that enables use of Excel as a design tool. The Windward Reports Server Engine is perfect for users creating both java reports and .net reports alike, and now allows users to design reports in both Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel as well.
Windward, a leader in with its design-in-Word reporting software because of its ease of use, now adds the advantages of Excel to its portfolio of simple-to-use, superior reporting products. Windward’s new AutoTag 6.0 reporting software uniquely uses Excel to intelligently figure out sums and number formatting, and allows users to build a table which supports calculations. AutoTag 6.0 still outputs to Word, or any other output format, to produce reporting documents.
Why is this Excel release so important? Simply put: Freedom. By creating an easy-to-use design tool which allows users to design their reports in Excel (in addition to word), Windward is freeing up thousands of IT man-hours normally allocated to report design, and including Excel business users in their ‘power-to the people’ philosophy. Now, non-technical business users who prefer Excel, can design their own reports and stay within their comfort zone while doing so. Windward Reports AutoTag for Excel doesn’t just look like Excel, it IS Excel.
How Does It Work? Begin with a worksheet. Using the AutoTag pull-down menu, select a data source such as an SQL database or XML file. (AutoTag works in conjunction with the Windward Reports Standard Server Engine, which gives your PC the ability to communicate with your organization's data sources, such as its SQL databases and XML files.) You use standard Excel commands to format and edit the report, and you assign tags to the data fields using the AutoTag pull-down menu. When finished, you save your template and, if you wish, verify that tags are correct with AutoTag's "validate" function.
What makes this unique? With AutoTag for Excel, your number formatting always carries through – it doesn’t matter if you output to RTF, PDF, or any other type. And, by using Excel templates you have a way to easily, and automatically generate reports that perform calculations on a collection of values! For instance, you might use Excel to sum all of the line-item amounts that are generated by an AutoTag. While AutoTag was always easy to use, this additional capability offers functions not available in a word-designed template, allowing the software to be used by more people, in more ways.
When you generate the report Windward Reports merges this template with the data you have selected. The finished report, with all of your formatting, positioning and design, is available in minutes instead of hours or even days.
Download a demo or check out a sample report at http://www.windwardreports.com. For more information on how you can use Excel or Word to design your reports, call 303-499-2544.

Mobile account users can not log on to the snow leopard server machine?

Hi all,
I've setup a network user and designated it as a mobile account. ** OS X 10.6.2 **
When the user logs out of the snow leopard server machine, home sync tries to sync the local and network home directories. It is never able to connect. The network home directory is automounted and is not the default path /Users. I can see the two home directories on disk.
Anyone else able to have their mobile users log in to the snow leopard server machine without issues?
OS X 10.6.2 **

It was the Sync server was down and did not know it

I can no longer use Photoshop for UI Design (PS CC + Retina display)

Since I bought the new MacBook Pro with retina display, Photoshop can no longer be an option for user interface design.
I'm runningn the last Photoshop CC update, and each file opens at 50% size compared to other standard displays, which makes working with old files frustrating. Besides, creating a new 1200 wide document to start a web design makes no sense (too small).
- View > 200% isn't a solution, things look pixelated.
- To increase the resolution from 72ppi to 220 (retina display) isn't a solution, it doesn't affect the document size
- Working with a document with 2x size can't be a solution: I should create everything with a 2x size (stroke, shadows, even rounded corners), which would push PS even more far away from being a tool that can be used for UI design.
Should we just expect that PS on a high-res display behave like that? I don't think so. Besides, the guys of Sketch App (a tool for UI design, that I'm currently working with) found a solution - the retina canvas option:
You can choose to see bitmap images pixelated, but still the vectors will look exactly like on the browser. By choosing to see the document at the same size but with more details, retina users can enjoy the power of the new MacBook while working on UI design.
Am I missing something? Should we expect this option in Photoshop too?

It upsets me to see that this was initially posted almost a year ago and there was no answer. There also seems to be no answer to various other questions about the same issue. Adobe do you care? I am already guessing that Apple doesn't. I know that Adobe has been at the top of this industry. Time for someone else to compete? This is a highly frustrating issue for UI and web designers.

How to design a Java-basedNetworkLayoutTool for specifying networktopology?

hi,
i had given a project which is a webbased project where the user can design their whole network topolgy.
the technolgy is ultimately java only because it is web based.
technologies are java,swing,xml.
The GUI or front end should be designed in such a way that clients or end users can specify their whole network technology and can simulate it.
The GUI components are:-
1)Menu
2)Dockable or Movable tool bar
3)Tool bar should contain elements or components like(WAN,NODE,VR(virtua router),Frame Relay,UNI Directional,Bi Directional Links)
4)A drawable area where the user can draw whole network using elements of the toolbar.
5)designing property pages for all the elements like(for node(ipaddress,port),for Wan(some properties))
i have to do this in just a few days.iam not getting any idea how to approach?so please any body give me a suggestion of how to approach?
please also suggest me if i get any source code or samples or atleast articles on all related topics??
please help me..
regards
varma

Hehehe, it is nice with school assignments.
Well, it is not easily solvable as a webproject since the interaction demanded is higher than could easily be provided by a webbrowser.
Recomendations:
Assess the requirements on your system. What you probably will find that to achive that sort of interaction, you will have to switch to one of the following technologies: DHTM+javascript, Flash or deratives or java applet/webstart. All have advantages and drawbacks. Since you are posting here, I presume you are planning to go for the applet/webstart approach.
For the application:
1) Go through the swing tutorial to familiarise yourself to the swing components.
2) Read extra on LayoutManagers as you probably will be doing one of them if you want extra points. Otherwise a null-layout is usuable as well for your assignment.
3) For your different sorts of nodes and their definitions, for extra points, read about visual-proxies on javaworld ( http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-07-1999/jw-07-toolbox.html ).
4) Run to the store and buy anything that contains caffiene, guaruana or any other revitilasing content.
5) Design the application in a nice CASE tool. Don't do any of the normally important sequence diagram because of the time constraints.
6) Define a nice XML interface to be used by your application, based upon the requirements.
7) Draw your initial UI design on paper. And, yes, I do mean paper. If you can't draw it roughly, you will never be able to implement it. Also, since drawing is a pain, the UI usually seem to end up being simplier and more understandably by the users.
8) Code! I would start with the GUI and applet. The communication back to the webserver should be straigth enough and will not take so much time.
9) Test! Why did you think you where finished already, you must have missed something.
10) Deliver product, reap rewards.
Regards,
Peter Norell
