Web Album Export Problem and Feature request

I find that exporting a Smart Web Album is painfully slow. It's so slow that it's practically unusable. By my anecdotal estimate, it's about 10 times slower than Lightroom.
Anyone else seeing this behavior?
Also, as long as I'm at it, Apple needs to allow Aperture to upload web albums directly to an external site that is not a .mac site. How can Aperture be called a PRO app without this ability? Yes, I know if I wait forever for a web album to export files I can ftp on my own, but why not build it into Aperture (like Lightroom does).

Just to be sure I understand the semantics. In 1.5 what are now called web pages were called web galleries. Now web galleries refer to a new feature that was first introduced in iPhoto08.
If you are talking about Galleries, then that's .mac only because so much of that functionality is server side.
If your talking about web pages, your going to have to go "under the hood" and create links between them. I know no way to do this in Aperture. You need to know HTML/CSS or have a wysiwyg editor like Dreamweaver.
What I did was create a master page in Dreamweaver that linked to the various index pages from my Aperture web pages. You can do this w/o editing the pages that Aperture created, but you won't have cross navigation- meaning that they won't link to each other or back to the main page. The only way I know to do that is to add a menu to the pages created by Aperture.
In Dreamweaver, you can create a menu as a "Library Item" then put it on each of the pages.
There may be a more elegant solution, but I don't know what it is.

Logic Score Problems and Feature Requests...add yours here

I have made up a short document outlining some of the issues with notation side of Logic. because it includes screen shots that clearly indicate what they are, i have made up a pdf file you can download here:
http://www.stevenson.homechoice.co.uk/documents/LogicProScoreRequests.pdf
The issues dealt with are:
Incorrect display:
1. Beat groupings
2. Stem direction
3. Tuplet display problems
4. Missing barlines
Feature Request:
1. Tremelo and trill markings to be attached to notes
2. Wide Trills ie trills over a whole tone
3. Better more intelligent display of phrase markings.
4. Diverging Beams
Well, this will do for now from me. If anyone can think of anything more, please add it here, and i will send this off to Logic via the feedback tomorrow.

thanks for the reply - i really appreciate your support.
I think the notating side gets a little overlooked because developers concentrate all their efforts on the audio arms race.
i.e. manual selection of a specific voice layer
actually this isn't too difficult. there is a key command you can set for "select equal channels" which will allow you to select a specific voice layer. i use this a fair bit in conjuction with "deselect outside of locators".
and seperating out voices from a played in part is relatively easy with another couple of key commands "select lowest/highest note" again i use this in conjuction with "deselect outside of locators".
actually i could go on and on. this is the thing about logic. it allows you to customize all these fantastic key commands and develop workflows that suit you. i use all of the editors when i'm doing scores, because they all are handy for dealing with data in different ways. it is so fast and efficient and will bend to your will. BUT it will only take you so far.....it's so frustrating. like a ferrari with no wheels.
it is absolutely unbeatable for straight foirward film scores though. i just wish some of these issues were straightened out - and they're not major ones either. compared to audio implementation anyway.....

SQL Developer Problems and Feature Requests

Im in the process of comparing TOAD to SQL Developer and noticed the following bugs/features in SQL Developer:
1. An error message is correctly displayed when a database password has expired, but there isnt a way to go back into the database and change the password for that account. Can this critical feature be added?
2. There is no option to connect as sysdba or sysoper.
3. In the New / Select Database Connection window, I get the following error when double clicking on an existing connection defined using a TNS Network Alias: Status: Failure no ocijdbc10 in java.library.path. Any ideas? Connection was initially defined using the Network Alias button. I can connect under the Connections window, but not in the New / Select Database Connection window. Any ideas?
4. When displaying data in a table, the filter is not user friendly. You need to enter column names and the correct SQL syntax. It also does not allow you to cut and paste in column names. It would be very helpful/useful if it was more user friendly (GUI based) such as how Sorting is done and/or how it is done in TOAD.
5. When viewing referential constraints on a child table, it shows you information on the parent, but not if the parent is a child to something else. If you were a parent, it would be nice to see all child and their childrens children. TOAD does a nice job showing parent and child tables via a tree structure.
6. Comparing metadata between schemas would also be a very nice feature.
Im not sure if this is the place to post this but thought I would start here. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

1: You can always right click and have it open an sql*plus window and that will prompt for the new password. But I do agree that support for this should be built in.
2: This is a developer tool.. Use OEM for the dba stuff. I think that the worst thing that could happen to SQL Dev is to try to become everything for everyone like TOAD tries to.
3: Search the forum. Other users ran into this and I believe there is a workaround.
4: I like the current filtering on tables. So much simpler than most tools. I do agree that maybe there should be an advanced button with a filter builder and agree that column names should be copyable but would cringe if the free-form field disappeared. How many other tools can you write an inline query into the table viewer? Great feature IMHO

Re: SQL Developer Problems and Feature Requests

"no ocijdbc10 in java.library.path"... What should i do with it?
I get it on the simplest of operations: changing (in fact setting) the connection password for the existing connection (defined by TNS/Connect Identifier). Oh, yes, there're workarounds, particularly export-edit-import, but don't you find it a bit weird?
BTW, i do not find a Save button there either, won't it be just appropriate? (Not allways a connection one's setting up for is already available on the spot).
Environment : OS: RHEL4, SQL Developer version: 1.0.0.15.57 (at least that's what About says), java - just stright form Sun, 1.5.0_09_b01; this was one i told SQL Developer to use. The default java in the system is Red Hat 3.4.6-3, though, i haven't changed that - should i?
TIA,
Uldis

I have had this issue with the Connection window with the TNS Connection Identifier method, but it appears to be related in some way to the other Oracle installations you have. For me (I am on Win XP), the error went away after installing the Oracle 10g client with Discoverer 10g Administrator. It then came back when I needed to rebuild my computer and installed my Oracle clients (I have three for various different products) in a different order, but was fixed that time by reordering my Oracle Homes via the Universal Installer and making my 10g Client first (Oracle Universal Installer -> Installed Products -> Environment)
Alternatives are to switch back to the TNS Network Alias method to record the password (unfortunately, even when entering the connection as a Network Alias it is saved as a Connection Identifier) or to just use the Basic tab instead of the TNS tab.

Announcement: Picasa web albums exporter finally updated for iPhoto 7

Whew, it sure took long enough!
Google's Picasa Web Albums Exporter for iPhoto is finally updated to be compatible with iPhoto 7 (iLife '08). I tested it quickly and it worked like a champ. I only see 1 new feature: an option to convert iPhoto keywords into Picasa Web Albums tags.
Download it here:
http://picasa.google.com/intl/enus/web/mactools.html
- Steve -
ps, sorry if this doesn't really belong in this discussion, but I know lots of us have been waiting patiently for this update.

I want to use Picasa Web Albums to share photos with friends and let them pick out, download and print a decent resolution photo. I use the Picasa (plug in I think) / Export to upload the photos from iPhoto. It lets me pick quality to upload, but I notice that when downloaded from the web album, the highest comes in at 180dpi with a 3264px x 2448 px pixel dimension - is this sufficient for a 5 x 7 print or possibly a 8 x 10 print?
What resolution do you want to print at? Decide and multiply
5x7 at 300 dpi = 1500x2100 needed -- at 150 dpi = 750x1050
8x10 at 300 dpi = 2400x3000 etc
If possible I want to save bandwith and storage space by uploading at a lower resolution, the smallest they offer (when downloaded from the site) is 72dpi at 1000px x 750 px and the medium is 72 dpi at 1600 x 1200 px.
Note that dpi is meaningless for a digital file - dpi is Dots Per Inch so until you set inches (print size) dpi is just a meaningless number and can be totally ignored
see the Myth of DPI for more information - http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html

BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
BUGS
(Not listed in any particular order)
(A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
(B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
(C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
(D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
(E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
(F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
(G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
(H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
(I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
(J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
(K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
(In no particular order)
1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.

Web API OData authentication and batch requests

Hello,
We have and OWIN middleware integrated into our web application pipeline which serves the purposes of authentication of OData requests by JWT token. On successful authentication we set the Thread and HttpContext principal to custom Principal object of ours.
The problem arises when performing OData batch requests. The sub-requests of batch are executed in separate threads and with no HttpContext associated with it so we loose the authenticate principal in those requests. I guess this is due to the way OData batch
requests are executed but our server logic strongly depends on custom Principal. The way we currently work around this is by using a custom ActionFilterAttribute that we apply to ODataControllers:
public class LoginAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
public override void OnActionExecuting(HttpActionContext actionContext)
if (HttpContext.Current != null && HttpContext.Current.User as CustomPrincipal != null)
return;
// TEMPORARY (need more robust solution): pushing batch request principal to a sub-request thread
if (actionContext.Request.IsBatchRequest() && actionContext.RequestContext.Principal is CustomPrincipal)
Thread.CurrentPrincipal = actionContext.RequestContext.Principal;
return;
This works fine. But we are not sure this is the right way to handle it. Does anybody know what is the recommended solution for the problem described?

Hi Dmitry Marcautsan,
According to your description, the issue is related to the ASP.NET Web API, I'd suggest you post
here to get better support.
Thanks for your understanding.

NEW Album Artwork Problem and MORE!

Once I puchased a laptop, I attempted to copy the library on my main computer to the laptop. This worked fine. The problrms arose once I synced my Ipod to my new laptop. After I synced it, alot of the album artwork is not correctly positioned. What I mean by this: the artwork is with the correct songs, etc. but the actual artwork is all whackey. For example, instead of the artwork having the correct, individual sizes, they are in the same black box no matter what the size of the artwork, meaning artwork that is tall and wide is missing the top and bottom with black boxes on the sides.
That is the best I can explain that.
Another problem arose when I attempted to update my ipod. I got an error (-43) when I updated it on my laptop. After it failing over and over again, I just moved back my stuff from the laptop to the main computer to update it there. Now after I sync it to the main computer, the album artwork is still garbage and glitchy on my ipod. Moreover, I am still getting the error (-43) message.
*** itunes?
So now im thinking, "well, i'm going to have to save my library somewhere else and sync the ipod without a library." What makes me reluctant is if I move my library, which has the album artwork messed up, will it stay like that after the update considering the music is not being updated with it?
Well, this *****. I have no idea what to do. Why must iTunes have so many problems?

Well, It updated and synced fine. The album artwork sizes were fixed too!
But now the artwork looks add like the pixles are not set in properly....
Oh well.
Thanks to anyone who read this.

Web DVD Export HTML5 and DynamicLink Adobe Muse

I would like export Web DVD for HTML5, today we can only Flash.
Other nice new feature would be integration with Adobe Muse.
Thanks

Hi Vikas,
Thank you for the reply. Come to find out that the web company altered my "static" html files which actually broke the .aspx files. The web company is still asking for me to use an SVN system for uploading which stinks, as this creates extra steps for me. Anyhow, you should go check out the site I created with Adobe Muse which is over a 130 pages. Wonder if anyone has accomplished that with Adobe Muse. Here is the web link: www.icadmed.com/home.html.
Thanks again!

Export problems and more!

To whomever this may concern:
(Rant start): Oct. 27th, 2011 was a terrible day. It was the day that my Macromedia 2004 MX Flash quit working. It forced spend an huge amount of money on Adobe's Flash CS 5.5 which has not impressed me at all. It wasn't the fact that it limits one to 16000 frames of animation or the fact that it limits you to importing a 8100 pixel width of an image. Nope. I was able to deal with those problems. However, the straw that broke the camel's back came when all the work, creativity and love I put into my animations could not even be enjoyed outside of the stupid limitations of the (Adobe) flash timeline. The quicktime export (a H.264 compression) either dropped frames or duplicated them!! This resulted in an unsmooth, jittery and UNprofessional presentation!! Before spending on this mediocore software I made sure of the system requirements: OS 10.5.8 (check), 1GB of Memory (I have 3GB... check), Quicktime 7.6.2 (I have 7.7... check). I played by the rules and when I spoke to the Tech Support representative (who's English was just as mediocore as this software) he told me he'd get back to me. It's been 5 days and my problem is not solved. My projects have been delayed and I am losing clients as well as my patience. To the "fatcats" of Adobe: I know I am raindrop in your huge pail of an empire. You've trained your minons to calmly repond with "I am sorry. We no longer service Marcromedia" but Iet me remind you that small drops can overfill a pail. I am one of those drops. (Rant ended).
Problem: My animation is a piano music scrolling from right to left at 30 fps. The bitmaps are approximantly 6000px(w) x 197(h) and all under 300k. These bitmaps have been converted into symbols for them to tween across the stage. There are 16 bitmaps total and each bitmap takes under 50 seconds to scroll from one side to the other until another bitmap takes over to keep the flow of music uninterupped. The timeline (as well as the Quicktime H.264 export) is plagued with short stutters, jittering and is unsmooth. I have used smoothing in the bitmap properites. I have restarted my computer and exported without any applications on. I have reduced the bitmaps to gifs. (Hell... I even unplugged my internet modem!!!). Nothing I do seems to provide me with an smooth animation!!!
Here are my specificaions:
MAC OS: 10.5.8
Quicktime: Pro 7.7
Memory: 3GB
I have no hope that Adobe can help... well they are providing a Forum so I should give them some credit.
Gerubach

kglad.
Let me, first, thank you for taking the time to help me out.
I'm afraid the bitmaps in my animation have been converted into graphics, not movieclips.
I could go ahead and convert them.
However, at the risk of imposing, I would please ask of you to explain how to
"enable the cacheAsBitmap property of [my] tweening symbols".
My bitmap is called: F1 Where
I belive the code is: F1.cacheAsBitmap = true;
Where do I type this code? In the behaviors panel? In the actions panel? To the keyframe?
Please forgive my ignorance. MX 2004 never required codes for simple left to right tweening.

Export Post-Processing Feature Request

Using a post-processing action such as a Photoshop droplet in an export is limited by the command line length which must be sent to the application (Photoshop in this case). This means that exporting a few files will work ok with the action but exporting hundreds of files will not - they export ok but the action is not executed.
Can the way the post-processing action is executed be modified so that smaller batches of files are processed instead of one very large batch at the end? Either have a mechanism which builds maximum length command lines OR a "batch size" parameter so that, for example, several hundred files are processed on lots of, say, 10?

Roy-
Ian Lyons is one of the few kind souls who has the power to do that, but I am pretty sure there are current workarounds, short of buying a Mac! I don't do Windows, but check back as many others do and some will have suggestions.

Another iPHOTO 11 exporting problem and glitches with PSE 9

I recently upgraded to iPHOTO 11 and PSE 9. I believe my preferences in iPHOTO are set properly for my pictures to be edited in PSE 9 (which is what I want). However, when I double click on a photo in iPHOTO it does not open in PSE 9. If I right click on the photo and select the option to edit in an external editor the photo does open in PSE9 9. Can I set up iPHOTO 11 so that double-clicking on the photo will open it up in PSE 9. With my prior versions of iPHOTO and PSE I could do that.
Most importantly, when I edit a photo in PSE 9 and save the edited photo back to iPHOTO, I am unable to export the edited photo to the SD card. Unedited photos export to the SD card just fine. Any ideas - I'm trying to load several digital frames with photos before Xmas. Thanks in advance.

This may be preaching to the choir but here goes:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full sizes
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
Click to view full size
This way you get the best of both worlds.
Happy Holidays

Portal Import/Export problems and questions

I recently tried to promote our dev stuff to the prod using both the exp/imp scripts (following the Imp/Exp whitepaper) and the built-in application export. The first time went without a hitch; however, after a few report updates in dev, I tried it again, and now I can't even get the Welcome page to appear. (Yes, I did import that page). The page finishes loading but nothing shows up on screen. I can login in to the change the DADs but nill to Portal. Any ideas how to even get in to see if the stuff imported?
Along those lines, after searching through these threads, and reading the documentation, I get the general feel that imp/exp are not at 100%. So what would be the procedure to do production promotions? Do I have to delete stuff (apps & pages) on the PROD server, and then import? If so what (apps?, security?, login server?) do I delete?
Rich

Thanks for the post Indira. Here are the answers to the questions.
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>What version of the Oracle Portal are you using?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I am using Oracle Portal version 3.0.6.3.3
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>Did you make any changes to the Welcome page when you imported it?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
No, I did not make any changes to the Welcome page when I imported it.
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>When you say that the page comes up blank, did you check the HTML source to see if there is anything in there?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yes, and there is something in there. Its the W3C tag and <HTML></HTML>. That's it. (more on this below)
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>What kind of portlets are in the page that you had imported?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I imported one application (with a combination of Reports, Forms, Dyn Pages, and LOV's), 7 pages with portlets based on all those components in tabbed interfaces on each page. For example, each page has 4 tabs with one portlet (running one of the reports) on each tab.
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>Are you able to get to the pages that you imported, through the Navigator. Can you edit/customize the page?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Well this is funny, since I couldn't get to anything, I thought I was a goner since I couldn't log in to get to the main page and fix all this, not to mention to see if the app imported at all. So, I went to my DEV box, found out what the page_id was for the out-of-the-box default page, typed it into the URL and I got the Login link. I logged in and I can see that the app imported. I can also see the pages, but with no portlets. When I try to add portlets, I get USER DEFINED ERRORS galore. So I have to recreate the pages from scratch (not a very good thing to be doing in PROD)
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>Try creating another page in your new prod instance and making that your default home page. Please can you check if that is working.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
As I mentioned above, this is basically what I had to do. I did another promotion last night, and since the pages are what I thought the trouble was, I didn't import them. I just imported sso, sec, and the app. To my dismay, the same thing happened. I call portal home and I get a blank screen (empty HTML tags). So there I was, well into the night, creating pages in PROD so that we could have a site to show today.
Since someone else gave me the CD to install, I wasn't aware of the version I had and its bugs/issues. I have started the process of upgrading versions, but would like to get a solid idea of whats going with promotions before I do.
Thanks,
Rich

Comments on LR4 and Feature request

After working with LR4 for a while, I find that I really like the new organizaiton of the sliders in the adjustment panes. Having a defined "0" point and being able to either go positive or negative is very intuitive.
However, I have a couple of issues with the Library module. First, why is it necessary to leave the Library panel and go to the Finder (or Explorer) in order to add a root level Folder? I never have understood this, and it is confusing for students. Why isn't there a simple, in place way, to add a root level folder for the purpose of organizing many Folders. Having to go exploring through your disk hierarchy to do this just makes no sense. You can add "sub-folders" directly in the Library panel, why not root level enclosing Folders?
Also, in the Import dialogue, if you have, for instance, a couple of loose photos sitting on the desktop, and you would like to import them, when you click on Desktop in the source panel, they do not show up. You can make them by creating a folder on the desktop, then they show up inside the folders. But just loose on the desktop they do not. Why is that?

I'm sorry, actually you are right about the images showing up for import from the Desktop. You just click on the desktop and they show up. I guess I was expecting them to show up when I hit the disclosure arrow. My bad.
However, yes, I know you can create a Parent folder by clicking the "+" sign, however, that opens a file dialogue in Finder and requires that you Navigate to the place where you want the folder to be. I would lik the ability to hit a context choice that says "create parent folder" and it would immediately show up in the left panel hierarchy without going to the Finder. I'm already in the Library that I want to work with, not somewhere else. Yes, it might be valuable to create an entirely different hierarchy somewhere else, but I just want it to add a new folder right where I am, not direct me to the Finder.

IPod Touch 5th/6th Generation Technology and Feature Request

I would like to see an iPod Touch that docks with a larger screen, keyboard and touchpad. Something with the same design as the Macbook Air, but slightly smaller and lighter. The Motorola Atrix Lapdock is closest to what I’m looking for, but naturally an iPod wouldn’t have the monthly plan. This would be a great way to get kids started with iOS followed by OS X and would result in a lot of Apple product sales in the years to come. Let me know if you guys at Apple are able to develop this.

Apple does not read these forums. There are user-to-user. To make a suggestion to Apple go here:
