"Using the Filter HUD to Search for Referenced Files" (and "Locate Referenced Files")

I am trying to follow the Help Documentation item "Using the Filter HUD to Search for Referenced Master" (not sure if there is a way to post a URL to this) and I am not seeing what it is telling me to do.
I am going to Edit > Find and it is telling me to "Click the Filter HUD button beside the search field in the Browser". Is this referring to a browser in the Aperture UI or is this in the Filter HUD display? I am not finding this.
Also, it saying that in the Filter HUD I should "choose File Status from the Add Filter pop-up menu, and select the 'File Status' checkbox." and I am not seeing this either. Does anyone know where this is at?
Lastly, I see that there is a command called File > Locate Referenced Files and when I run this I get a "No Referenced Files in the /current/ selection. I have realized that I don't quite understand whether I am running this search for a specific Project and/or whether I have to make a specific selection in the left hand pane when I run a FILTER HUD or whether this automatically defaults to search the whole database. Does it matter what I have selected in the current Browser View when I run either of these commands?
Thanks for any help in my getting this working better for me.

1. Just copy and paste the URL from the on-line User Manual. Very helpful. Are you on this page?
2. From the above-linked page:
Show the Filter HUD by doing one of the following:
Choose Edit > Find (or press Command-F).
Click the Filter HUD button beside the search field in the Browser.
The instructions specify ONE of the following. Your question indicates to me that you are trying to do both.
3. The User Manual has used the wrong term here. It should say "Choose 'File Status' from the 'Add RULE' pop-up menu."
4. The command -- like all commands? -- works on the currently selected Images. On the same page in the User Manual it says:
You can select a group of images in the Browser and Aperture can show a list of the referenced images within the selection, including information about where the masters are located. {Emphasis mine.}
5. The Aperture workspace is highly configurable. I don't know what you mean by "the left-hand pane". Of what?
6. Yes. Of course it matters. At some point in the 80's when the GUI became standard computers standardized on the "Noun→Verb" syntax: Select object(s), select command(s).
7. Not sure what the second command to which your refer is.

Can I use the same external hard drive for time machine and storing other files

I have a 640GB external hard drive that I have been using for over a year for time machine backups. My mac hard drive is now starting to fill up and I am looking to move audio, video and picture files to my external hard drive. How do I do this without messing up my time machine backups? Can I do both on the same external hard drive? Do I just make new folders on the external hard drive to move the files I want? Thanks for the help.

If you move the files you will need to get another disk to back the files up to. You don't want to have only one copy of certain files (personal, professional etc.).

I haven"t used the data on my phone for 2 month and I'm still getting a big bill why?

I didn't use the data for 2 month on my phone and I still have to pay a big bill. This is the third big bill I have to pay. I deleted all the apps and turned of data and I still have to pay a big bill over what I was paying why?

Berzie,
I understand how a large bill can be unexpected and unwanted. Does the bill advise as to the reason the bill is higher? Does it say how much data you went over on your plan? What plan are you currently on?

I cant type and use the touchpad, I got this for causal gaming and I really need help.

If im holding down ANY key the touchpad doesnt work, I have the touchpad on no delay so I can move it right after i stop holding a button, but i cant move and aim at the same time, please help!

Hi there , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I read your post on the HP Support Forums and wanted to answer your post. I understand that you cannot use the Touchpad and the key functions at the same time. Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the mouse and Touchpad gestures. In the document, it shows you how to change the settings by clicking the settings icon to adjust the button actions on the Touchpad. Sometimes this is caused by an update that is needed. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that might need updating. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks

TS4403 I am interested in using the ICloud as a storage for my pics and music on my laptop, but I wanted to know if it will work before I pay. Can I do that or do I have to get a different kind of storage

Is Icloud a good solution for back up storage for a Windows Vista Lap top?

No, iCloud is not for the storage of data from your computer. It is for the storage of data from your iDevices.

How to increase the choice of possible filter items in the filter HUD?

Hi there,
didn't know how to exactly formulate a nice header for my question.
Here goes:
In the filter HUD, I can add a new rule to search for, and choose "Aperture Metadata" as
the source of possible tags. However, for some reason, the choice of tags I am confronted
with is not exhaustive; for example, the Aperture tag "Badges" is not in the list
of tags that one can search for in the filter HUD.
To solve my immediate problem, I would like to know how I can search for specific values of the
tag "Badges" that is part of the "Aperture" Metadata Field.
On a more general note, I would like to know how one can add or delete choices that the filter HUD offers.
For example, if I add a custom field, what do I have to do to make it searchable in the filter HUD?
Thanks for any help!

Maybe we do not use the word "Metadata" in the same way.
The only issue I see is this:
. "Badges" are not metadata. They are icons which indicate metadata. The distinction is important in this discussion, because "Badges" is not a family of metadata, other than being the family of metadata to which the Aperture design team has assigned icons which can be shown in some views. It is important to understand that while the badge is a member of the set "Metadata which Aperture shows as an icon", the actual metadata indicated by the badge is a member of an actual metadata set. With apologies for being cute, "Badges" are meta-metadata.
I had the following proposition: not all metadata is searchable.
I believe this is correct, but not as widespread as you indicate.
I then proofed this proposition by showing that Aperture can search for specific
values of the "badges" tag ("locate referenced files"->"show only files not found"), and
went on by claiming that the filter HUD does not offer to do this exact same search.
"Badges" is not a tag, nor is it metadata in the sense you are using the term.
The Filter HUD may do what you are asking. As I posted in direct response in another message in this thread, I think the two-rule "and"-type filter
. File Status is Referenced
. File Status is Missing
will do what you want.
As always, I cannot conclusively prove what Aperture cannot do, I can only say that I did not find this option in the filter HUD, and would be happy if anyone told me how to do it.
If I turn out to be correct, you are welcome.
This was just one example.
Judging from my lists cited in one of my posts above, one is tempted to think that Aperture's filter HUD is not capable of searching for "Badges", "Flag", "Import Session", "Label", "Last Modified Date", and "Rating".
All of these Items appear in the "Aperture" Section of the "Metadata Fields" in the "Metadata View" dialog that opens when you hit "edit" on the drop-down box in the Metadata Pane of the Inspector, but do not appear in the "Aperture Metadata" list of items in the filter HUD.
It turns out that all but "Badges" and "Last Modified Date" are items that can be searched for in
the filter HUD; The other candidates for "non-searchability" ("Flag","Label", "Last Modified Date", and "Rating") do not appear in the "Aperture Metadata" part of the filter HUD, where you would expect them, but they exist in other parts of the filter HUD.
There is some sense to this. I will add, however, that they do not appear where you expect them (logically, btw), does not mean that they do not appear where others expect them. Our expectations are ruled more by experience than by logic.
Flag status is, in Aperture, what might be described as a privileged metadata field. There is an entire apparatus for flagging, un-flagging, and viewing flagged items; no other metadata has been accorded such privilege (a hot key, the click-able flag hotspot, the flag overlay, the Flag View).
"Label" is also (using my nomenclature) a "privileged" metadata field (just not as privileged as "Flag").
Likewise "Rating".
While I therefore was able to search for some Metadata fields of the "Aperture" part of the Metadata Field ("Flag","Label", "Import Session", and "Rating", in addition to all items listed in the "Aperture Metadata" option in the filter HUD), I was completely unable to search for others ("Badges" and "Last Modified Date").
See my comments on Badges above.
"Last Modified Date" is a special case. There was a good (iirc) thread about this earlier. I will look for it. Iirc, you can get LMD to show in List view, but you cannot search for it. This is silly -- worth a feature request to Apple. LMD is the only metadata I know of (not, perhaps, saying much) that is not searchable via the Filter HUD.
I therefore think that I did proof (to the extent I am capable of) that not all metadata is searchable - and my question simply is "how do I make these metadata searchable". Or, alternatively, "how do I control the metadata items that the filter HUD allows me to search for".
Yours is a very synthetic approach, which I applaud. The audience for your questions, however, is more properly the Aperture designers, and not fellow users. The only way I can answer your questions is when you specify what it is you are trying to do (for example above: filter your images for referenced and missing). Please ask about whatever specific things you are unable to do.
Hope that helps.
Kirby.

I have a question about the filter hud in aperture 3.

I have a large project (4000 images) and I can't display filter hud. The hud shows in all my other projects (including albums that are part of this project) but not when I am at the project level. can anyone suggest a solution?

Frank, thanks for the help.
I have rebuilt the Aperture preferences, rebuilt the database and after all that I have selected browser view and tried to use the filter hud. Still no luck.
The strange thing is that I can call up the filter hud in another project and switch to the "problem" project and the hud stays visible. But i can't launch the hud while I'm in the large project.

I currently have an ipod touch 4th generation for my daughter. I just bought the same ipod for myself. Before I set it all up, i want to know if i can use the same email/apple id for both of them???

My daughter has an ipod touch 4th gen. I just bought one for myself but dont' know if I can use the same email/apple id ??? i'd like to but dont want issues w/ facetime, etc. Please help!!

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure the birthdate yo specify results n an age of at least 13 years old.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

Customize the Filter HUD

Is is possible to customize the Filter HUD?
I don't use the Flagged or *Color Label* options often, but would like Calendar to be part of the filter every time.
Can I remove the ones I don't use and add calendar? If so how would I do that?
TIA
Jerry

Ray,
Thanks for the response. I am aware of the controls you mentioned and, of course, I have had to use them.
I'm just a little put out that for this kind of filter I have no better control of the filter items than this. As I said earlier I almost never flag or color images and almost ALWAYS use the calendar so it becomes a huge PIA to delete and add these filters every time I want to look for and/or work on specifically dated images.
I think I ought to be able to designate the default filter items.
Thanks again for your interest and assistance.

I am very new to Ap3 so ignore me if it is't what you are looking for

How do i search for a string in a txt file using java??

How do i search for a string in a txt file using java??
could you please help thanks
J

Regular expressinos work just fine, especially when
searching for patterns. But they seem to be impying
it's a specific group of characters they're looking
for, and indexOf() is much faster than a regex.If he's reading from a file, the I/O time will likely swamp any performance hit that regex introduces. I think contains() (or indexOf() if he's not on 5.0 yet) is preferable to regex just because it's simpler. (And in the case of contains(), the name makes for a very clear, direct mapping between your intent and the code that realizes it.)

Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly? I used to search for a name and it would find it in All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly?
I used to search for a name and it would find it in One or All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
Still hoping someone out there can help me.
thanks,

View dimension hierarchy using the filter property of data form

Hi,
I created a data form where I want to show the dimension hierarchy. But when I am filtering the form using attribute dimension then the hierarchy is not being shown in the form.Is their any way so that I can use the filter property also and make the dimension hierarchy visible in the data form?
Thanks.

Hi Endy,
Thanks for your reply. I have used the "equal" function as to set that specific attribute as I am choosing the descendants function against the attribute dimension,it's showing error.Hi,
What's the error ? You have to use a function, otherwise it will only display the member you picked.
Actually in our dimension structure we have a 3 generation hierarchy and the attribute is only associated with the 3rd generation member. So we want to display the 3rd generation having the specific attribute "xx" wit the entire hierarchical structure in our data form.
Can you please tell me if I have missed anything?
Thanks.If you want to display the attribute value in the form, edit the form, go to the "Layout" tab, and click on your row. On the right side of the screen, you have a section called Display Properties. Check the box called Enable custom attributes, then check your attribute name. Save the form and you will have the attribute value displayed at the right of the member name.
