What code editor/environment are people using?

Not having used LUA before, I am wondering what is recommend when it comes to writing, editing and debugging LUA scripts?
Are people just using a basic text editor like Notepad or are there some better tools out there?

@Sean,
Haven't developed a web engine before so hadn't thought about that issue.
Alternative for you - modify your new script, or write another script instead, to allow the released and development versions of a gallery to run in parallel. Either add something into the development version's galleryInfo.lrweb file and strip it out before compiling, or add something in before compiling.
e.g. the former option would look like this
Dev galleryInfo.lrweb file would include:
title = "Web Sample (Dev)",
id = "com.adobe.lightroom.wpg.templates.sdk.luawebsample.dev",
Source for compiled galleryInfo.lrweb file would include:
title = "Web Sample",
id = "com.adobe.lightroom.wpg.templates.sdk.luawebsample",
I'm guessing that would be enough to allow LR2 to distinguish between the two versions, and you to know whether you were using the released version of the one still in development. Adding a sed call to your script should easily be able to make this change for you.
This is a bit of a kludge but should work.

What code editor do you use with Business Catalyst?

I am having many issues with Dreamweaver & BC:
1 - It keeps thinking that I have the trial version, even though I have a license to Creative Cloud and Creative Cloud shows that I have it.
2 - When I try to use the integrated Business Catalyst palette, it logs me out of the admin console for my BC site. ANNOYING.
3 - Most importantly, it doesn't put the files to the server successfully, consistently. I have change my file and re-put the file 5-6 times before it works. VERY FRUSTRATING!
After an hour on the phone with Dreamweaver customer support, the issue is still not resolved.
So, now I ask you all, what code editor are you using in conjunction with Business Catalyst while implementing your Business Catalyst websites?

Code editors, I used to use editplus until Adobe locked 90% of the FTP programs out there, now I use Sublime 2 with SFTP plugin but it's uber clunky and not so happy with it...

Are people using or incorparating dreamweaver with muse?

Are people using or incorparating dreamweaver with muse?

While there is no direct integration between Muse and Dreamweaver, they can be used together. From within Muse, you can both import and export HTML. So you can import HTML created in Dreamweaver, or export HTML to be opened and edited in Dreamweaver.
The only speedbump is that the code generated by Muse tends to be a bit messy. As a Muse software engineer puts it,
You can output HTML code from Muse at any time, so if you chose to edit it with Dreamweaver that is possible, though we don't optimize our code for human-readability - we instead focus on performance, SEO, accessibility and compatibility.

General Forum Question: What Contact Synch Method Are You Using?

This is a question directed towards all forums members using SynchManager to synchronize B2B customers between Web Tools and SAP Business One.
Of the four possible methods listed below:
- WebTools UserID Field
- Email Address
- BusinessOne InternalCode
- Seek and Choose
Which one are you using to synchronize your data?
We're trying to decide between Email Address, BusinessOne InternalCode, and Seek and Choose.

Hi Micheal,
I can not tell you what people are using, but the pros and cons are as follows:
Webtools UserID (the exposed field on the BP contact)
This is the best option if you are willing to do the work of setting this property for all of you users in a meaningful way.
Pros: Allows you assign a meaningful login name for users of the website
Cons: You have to assign he userids (a lot of work if you have 10s of thousands of contacts)
EmailAddress
Pros: hopefully, everyone knows their email address. So this is a meaningful login name.
Cons: B1 does not require email address, so the user will probably end up with an OCPR ID if they don't have an email address.
B1 internal code
Pros: it always works
Cons: no wants to be a number. Your login name will be "1234", password = "whydoIhavesuchahorriblelogin"
Seek and Choose
I consider this the best option, unless you have a better algorithm to populate NPUserID than described below (let me know if you do )
The seek and choose routine works as follows:
1. if they have an NPUserID, user that
2. if they have an email address, user that
3. use the B1 internal code
Pros: User will have the best possible login name.
Cons: You do not know which option the user ended up with
One last note:
v630 (p10--or whatever we are calling it these days), has added a login name to the Webtools user. This addresses the glaring problem of not being able to change login name. Now the user can change their own login. (why did this take 5 years?). Hopefully, this will make this decision less daunting.

How are people using Catalogs?

I know I asked this question some time ago, but I'd like to ask it again since I will soon be upgrading from LR2.7 to LR3.
I would like some friendly advice from people how they use Lightroom Catalogs.
I currently use several catalogs. I have one strictly for day-to-day stuff where I might take shots of friends and family.
I use another catalog which I use strictly for Photography Workshops I go on.
Yet another one is one which I use strictly for the few professional photography jobs I have done. I am not a professional photographer, but I have been paid for a few photo jobs.
Still another is one which I use strictly for pictures from others. I get a lot of pictures from relatives who wish me to edit them. Notably, I get a lot from my mother, and many of those pictures are of family and friends, of her flower garden. So I do like to keep them myself, but I do so in a separate catalog.... in order to keep them separate from my own pictures. I get a lot of photos from a friend of mine whom I used to work with in Europe....and he is now sending me many pictures he has taken while working in Ghana. I like to keep some of these in a catalog but for now, I like that to be a separate catalog then the one I do most of my work in.
I would like to get some ideas from LR users how many catalogs they might use. Do they separate their photos into different catalogs like I do? Do they keep photos all in one big catalog? Or perhaps do they just use a small number of catalogs.
I do like the ability to keep separate problems, but the 2 main "problems" I have with doing this are as follows: 1)I some times I accidentally put pictures in the wrong catalog. I usually catch this soon and merely have to do the process again, putting the pictures in the right catalog. and 2)As far as I know, I do not think you can search by keyword (tag) across multiple calendar. This is not a big issue, but it would be nice to be able to search by keyword to get, for example, all of the pictures taken by me and my Mother of say, my niece.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks for your input.
Richard

I know Lightroom doesn't care about the directory/folder structure. But I care how that directory/folder structure looks in Lightroom. Again, it's kind of hard for me to explain this, but from what I've seen, LR mimics the structure you have on your hard drive. It works just fine, but I don't want it to mimic the folder structure I had before with LR 2.7.
I'll try to explain, but, again, it's kind of hard for me to put into words without one actually seeing what I'm talking about. My original folder structure on my hard drive was by year......2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, etc., each a primary folder.
Within each year, I had folders with the date(s) as well as a brief description of what was in that folder.....e.g., 122509_Christmas_at_Mom_and_Dads.
Within that same yearly folder (e.g. 2009), I also would have things like 042809_Kauai_Photo_Workshop as a subfolder.
With LR 2.7, I organized things by Catalog. So I had a Catalog for personal photos such as Christmas with my family; I had a separate photo for Photo Workshops I had yet another separate Catalog for pictures my Mom sends me to edit. And, I had a few other catalogs. It was just my way or organizing groups of photos.
My original post asked the question about how people use catalogs.....either single catalogs or multiple catalogs. Yes, there were many comments about using keywords. Based on the comments I had received, I did decide to combine all of my catalogs into one single catalog.
Within that new single catalog, however, I still want separate folders showing "personal pictures," "pictures from Mom," "workshop photos," "photos I did for a professional job," etc. That's just the way I like to organize things. As I found out, if I create separate folders in LR in a single catalog like this, it also creates a corresponding folder on my hard drive. Therefore, I have to move those pictures into that corresponding folder if I want to keep these separate folders in LR.
One reason I like organizing things this way is that my Mom often will take similar pictures to what I take. She'll take pictures of her grandkids that she wants me to "fix" by removing redeye, etc. Because I'm not so sure she backs things up to the extent I do, I also like keeping her pictures to be sure they are properly backed up like I do backups. When she takes pictures of the grandkids, I'm usually over visiting as well and take my own pictures. So I like to keep these sets of pictures separate. Yes, I know I could put keywords in there such as "Mom's Pictures" or "My Pictures," but I just like to keep these sets of pictures separate. That's the way I am. People like to organize things their own ways.
Having said all of that, I have been using keywords ever since I started using Lightroom, version 1. I spend a lot of time doing so. I do like them. But, I also like having the LR folder organized the way I do. Right now, I have a very long list of keywords. If I want to find a group of pictures, I'm not so sure I'd find all of the ones I'm looking for unless I select the specific keywords I am looking for, and with the list as long as it is now (and it's growing), I might miss something. With a single catalog, it does make it easier to search for all photos with a single key word, but the folders in LR help do help me narrow down what I might be looking for.
Lightroom provides these tools, and to me, I am taking advantage of them, including keywords, to help me organize my photos. Once I get my current LR photos into the new folder structure, any new additions will be very easily and quickly done.

What is the app that people use to chat inside of terminal?

Forgive me for my newbie question.
I always saw people use their terminal for chatting and listening to music in screenshot, what are those applications?
Is it an equivalence to pidgin?

I was playing around with centerim when I still used Kubuntu. If I recall correctly it supports all the popular protocol; I used Gtalk of Gmail which is same as Jabber, so I can assure you that at least
that one works. It was quite cool especially using it with Yakuake. But I guess that Kopete was better as it notified you about how came online and such...
But now with Kopete again not working I use Pidgin witch unfortunately sometimes crashes plasma, so I'm starting to think that it's time to try centerim again.

What custom desktop environment do you use?

I know one of the reasons I love arch is that you get to build a system from the ground up--you get to build your own desktop environment out of whatever login manager/window manager/file manager/etc you want.
I'm still experimenting with openbox and slim, so I'm just wondering what everyone else is using to make their computer "their" computer. What's your custom desktop environment built from? Maybe this will be a good starting place for other noobs (like myself), who want to be able to replace gnome or kde without losing all the features.
btw, what office tools are you using? I don't really like openoffice, and I really don't like abiword.
thanks for sharing!

I am a gnome > xfce > lxde-ish > nothing-in-particular convert, so my post will be rather GTK-biased
Panel-wise...I threw together the visibility iconbox/desktop manager thing and two tweaked dzen scripts (power status and time). It's not so much a panel as it is two blocks in the corners and a large gap in the middle where I can middle click.
I use gmrun in lieu of Gnome's alt-F2 run dialog. I found that lxtask was a decent task manager. Seems to be unusually CPU-heavy for a task manager, though. I prefer htop. I use hardinfo for computer specs when I can't be bothered to look up the right commands.
As far as office tools go, I keep Openoffice around for compatibility and those times when vim+latex or geany+latex is overkill. I like gnumeric as a spreadsheet program.
I use alsamixer to control sound and nitrogen for backgrounds. No login manager here. I just xinit in my ~/.bash_profile . I've installed a lot of browsers for testing (I do a bit of web design), but I generally use uzbl, midori when uzbl doesn't work, and firefox when midori doesn't work.
Somewhere up there, jasonwryan mentioned the LnF thread. It might be worth also checking out the Crunchbang distro's applications list. The list is not as, well, light and fast, but it does have quite a few not-heavy desktop environment-independent apps.

What disk maintanance program are you using

With Disk Warrior still not Universal, what disk maintanance program is everyone using? What would you recommend for general maintanance? I currently use Yasu on my G3 iBook. I have not checked if it is universal.
Thom

I use apple os standard disk for repairing my permission and hard drive after I restart using that disk.
And it perform well for most of my mac, my Mac book still sailing through ocean so I don't have reference for Mac Book yet, but I also a fan of onyx, and I believe it is already universal, since I use that on my intel solo Mac mini in my office.

What monitors are people using w/ there Rage 128 Cards (AGP) ADC/VGA

Need to get a new monitor and wondering if anyone is running a new LDC w/ this card?

thx John. I got the viewsonic VA912b. What a huge screen compared to my old apple 17" studio display CRT/ADC. Just trying to get used to a LCD. All my years of computing have been staring in CRT monitors. There is alittle bit of ghosting w/ LCD but I'm sure if i was using the DVI connection instead of the VGA it would probrably be crisper. But for right now i need to replace my old monitor the cheepest way and I could figure in buying a new video card and monitor at the same time. But maybe in the future i will get a new card and put this monitor up to its full potential. But I got to say it is nice looking into a 19" screen instead of a 17". I can't believe the size difference in the two inches.
Chris.

What are people using for displays?

I just got my MacPro a couple of days ago. I'm currently surviving with a 4+ year old Dell 2001 FP monitor that can do at max 1600x1200.
I have a MacBookPro 17 which can do 1920x1200. I'd like to at some point upgrade this older Dell monitor to something a little crisper that has a bit more resolution.
I don't think I need a gigantic cinema type display either. I'd just like a little more resolution. I also went with ONLY the ATI Radeon HT 2600 XT.
So what can I get which would look a little better and have a few more pixels? Recommendations?

I use a Dell 2408WFP, which is one of the Ultrasharp models. It's good, but not great. If money was no object I would've picked an Eizo of similar dimensions. But it is very crisp and bright, so much so I set it to 0/100 brightness, and 60/100 contrast - according to the directions given by my Colormunki calibrator software. I couldn't get the Dell calibrated using my previous GretagMacbeth i1 Display (v.1), which was giving me neon colors instead of accuracy. It (i1 Display) had worked just fine with my CRTs, but not the 2408WFP.

SSH Clients - What are people using?

What is everybody using for SSH clients to manage their boxes?
Anybody having any real problems getting SSH setup?
Thanks,
~ron

Hi Ron,
For Windows platform, Secure CRT is a good client , as well as Secure Shell Client. Sun box got SSH client build-in, it is in command line interface, quick and easy as well.
I am using all of them SSH to our cusomter's PIX and routers many times. It is very handy and easy to use.
For setting up SSH in a PIX , router , switch, it might only takes 5 minutes, here is the URL for that:

What are people using to convert .3gp video files into something compatible with iMovie? Does Apple have SW to do this?

I am trying to find the best and safest way to convert .3gp video from my Blackberry into a file format that iMovie will recognize. I see lots of potential downloads, but I am hoping for some recommendations on which SW is most helpful. Thanks.

There is a free App called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. You can drag your .3gp into MPEG Streamclip. Then FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME.
For HD sizes (1280x720 or 1920x1080), choose Apple Intermediate Codec as the Video Codec.
For smaller sizes, you can also use Apple Intermediate Codec, but h.264 will also work and will give a smaller file size.
Then import this new file into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIES

Are people using assemblers?

I've been working with flex for a couple of weeks now. The
application I'm writing is built on top of a EJB3 application.
I have number of entity beans in my system and they all have
relationships to each other. many-to-one, one-to-many, one-to one
etc.
Example:
class Group {
public int getId(){...}
public String getGroupName(){...}
public List<Member> getMember(){...}
class Member {
public int getId(){...}
public String getFirstname(){...}
public String getLastname(){...}
public String getUsername(){...}
public Group getGroup(){...}
In my EJB3 layer I have two session beans: GroupManager and
MemberManager.
The MemberManager looks like this:
interface MemberManager {
public Member getMember(int id);
public Member getMemberByUsername(String username);
public List<Member> getMembers();
public Member save(Member member);
public void delete(Member member);
....and a few more
Ther GroupManager looks similair
interface GroupManager {
public List<Group> getGroups();
public Group getGroup(id);
public void delete(Group group)
public Group save(Group group)
As far as I know there are two ways to write a flex
application for administrating my Groups and Members: RemoteObject
and Assemblers.
What I have read in the docs, assemblers is what I should use
for this kind of situations.
I would then write two assemblers: GroupAssembler and
MemberAssembler.
something like this:
class GroupAssembler extends AbstractAssembler {
GroupManager gm;
public List<Group> fill(List params) {
return aListOfGroups; (with or without it's containing
members?)
public Group getItem(Map idMap) {
id = idMap.get("id");
// ask the GroupManager for a group with the id read from
the idMap
return theGroup;
publiv void delete(....)
public Group createItem(....)
and the MemberAssembler would look soemthing like this:
class MemberAssembler {
List<Member> fill(...) {
return aListOfMembers
Member getItem(Map idMap) {
deleteItem(...)
createItem(...)
updateItem(..)...
Now, what about my MemberManager.getMemberByUsername().
In all examples I have seen and in all documentations I have
read I havn't found one single example describing this issue.
the AbstractAssembler's getItem(Map idMap) method is not
designed to let me implement that fuctionality.
Each assembler has ONE getItem() method and there is no way
for me to determine is the client asks for member by id or members
by username.
Have I missed something fundamental here? Is there a way to
have more than one getItem method or a way to implement the getItem
in a way so that it knows that the flex client is asking "by
username " or "by id"?
Another aproach to this problem to use RemoteObject instead
of assemblers but than I'd loose the other nice functionality
that I'd have to implement myself. Like
DataService.getItem(id, member) which instead of returning a new
instance of Member updates all properties of my member object.
I don't think my situation is unique and lots of other people
working with assemblers (if there are any) should have seen the
problem and hopefully solved it.
So my questions are: Is there a solution for my problem above
and are there any other people than me working with assemblers?
Regards
Jonathan

What video capture card are you using? Do you like it?

Hi there. I'm going to purchase a video capture card so I can feed my camcorder, vcr etc. into my iBook. I want to know what people are using and how they like it. DO you use firewire or USB? etc.

iMovie (and Final Cut) expect video via FireWire.
If you select a video over USB solution you will need to find a Mac compatible software application to read and recognize it.

Changing Domain Administrator Password : How can I find out what all servers / services are currently using this?

Good morning all,
I took over as IT director for the school district in my town about 2 years ago, and we've had some techs come and go, all of which have had the domain administrator password (not my call, but my fault for not changing it by now). I am about to change
it, but before doing so I want to know how I can make sure what all this will break so I can quickly change the cached/saved password on whatever supporting services use this user/pass.
Can anyone help here?
Thank you!

Hello,
In my point of view if I were in this situation I would Change the domain administrator password. By
Resetting the domain administrators all the services which use domain administrator as their logon user, will lose their functionality. I had this experience and I did change the domain administrator password with no problem. However do not
forget to have a account lockout tool or script for locating the place where the account was locked out.
But to keep it short most of the time. lockout problems are arise from mapped drives, credential manager and saved RDP sessions and etc.
Regards.
