What is the best way to switch between two sets of bookmarks, say 'work' and 'private'?

I want to use to sets of bookmarks, so that when I'm working, I'm not distracted by my non-work bookmarks and vice versa. For the last couple of months, I've been using two user accounts to achieve this, but it's a bit of a PITA. Links from other applications, like Thunderbird mail are opened in the default profile. This means when I'm not at work and I click a link in an email, a new window is opened with my Firefox work profile.
All I need is a trick or an extension to quickly switch bookmark sets. Or a way to switch profiles without opening a new Firefox window. Any ideas?

You can't get Firefox to work as you are explaining you want. The Default Profile can't be changed on-the-fly to the Profile you are currently using. That message "Firefox is already running ..." comes up due to you or "something" trying to open a 2nd (or subsequent) Profile, unless that '''-no-remote''' command was used to open the additional Profile. And '''-no-remote''' won't work to open the Default Profile without causing issues with how Windows works with "calling up" the Default Browser.
In response to your last statement - '''''"To separate my work and private stuff I only need to change the contents of my bookmarks bar, so I hoped there was some trick to maintain to groups of bookmarks."'''''
This extension will allow you to change the Bookmarks Toolbar folder while you are using Firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/set-as-bookmarks-toolbar-folde/
I just installed that extension and verified that it still works in Firefox 35.
There is a context menu item added for '''"Set as Bookmarks Toolbar Folder"'''' that appears when the Bookmarks Menu Bar drop-down menu is used (not in the Library window or the Bookmarks Sidebar). That menu item appears when you right-click a folder in the Bookmarks Menu folder. It doesn't appear with the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder or the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder - only a folder that is in the "Bookmarks Menu".
That should "solve" wanting to have two different settings for the Bookmarks Toolbar, but the Default Profile "thing" is still an issue for what you are trying to accomplish. I don't "see a fix" for that - without resorting to a 2nd Window User Account which is what I thought you were referring to by "I've been using two user accounts to achieve this" in your initial posting.
And since the Menu Bar is hidden by default these days, you can use '''Alt''' then '''B''' to open the Bookmarks drop-down from the "revealed" Menu Bar so you can access that '''"Set as Bookmarks Toolbar Folder"''' menu item - without having to show the Menu Bar all the time.
''BTW, using "accounts" in lieu of "Profiles" can be confusing when discussing Firefox Profiles.''

What is the best way for a family to set up apple ID's and icloud?

My partner and I have separate apple id's and own a mac book, ipad, 2 iphones and apple tv. What's the best way to set it all up so we can access everything on each device? Can we merge our ID's into one and transfer all our payments? We just registered for icloud and used a new shared email address, but still have our separate apple ID's. We have separate email addresses, calendars and notes that we would prefer to keep separate. It's really just our itunes purchases, music and photos that we want to be able to share. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Nicky

They will be able to download everything that was bought with their Apple ID. If they all shared an ID then they switched to their own ID they won't be able to use any apps or music bought with another Apple ID. As I explained in my previous response. There is only one way to share apps and content across multiple Apple ID's and that is home share. So, NO there isn't a "Smooth" way to do it.

What is the best way to switch between multiple image buffers? AND How to synchronize saves?

Hello,
I'm trying to flip-flop between two buffers and wondering the best possible solution for this. I'd like to acquire an image in one buffer, send that off to be processed, and then while that's being processed acquire a second image. Right now I have a "Create IMAQ vi" in a for loop and have it creating 10 image locations. I'm using a non-NI framegrabber (shame I know) which makes things a bit more difficult to replicate. I have two while loops. One while loop currently grabs images from the framegrabber and places in the 10 different locations. The other while loop currently holds a case structure that does the processing. I have created a local variable that holds all of the image locations and reads those to be processed. I don't know if this is actually making things faster or if it's better to just make one image location.
I have two images attached. One image is the Grab While loop. Since I have an array of locations, I have to use a for loop and index each one out to my display. I then have a shift register to carry the image location info over to the next iteration of the while loop.
The second attachment is the bulk of the main while loop. It shows what happens to the image while it's being fully processed in the left case structure. I know it does not look like much but one of the cases (which is called by Boolean Image FFT) is a subVI that does most of the processing. I believe that is what really slows it down because of how that program is written.
The right case structure shows my saving mechanism. I have two file paths. One to save the image and the other to save the processed image. I have a sequence to make sure they save at the same time once it gets to that point.
The problem though is the following:
In the grabwhileloop.png, you can see that I have a timing to see how fast the images are being acquired. This value is approximately 60 fps (which is the rate of the Basler camera). There is a similar set up in the main loop case structure. This processes very slowly and is approximately 1.04 fps. Which would mean that the image I turn into an array in the left case structure in the main while loop image is more than likely different than the image I'm trying to save off in the right case structure since the grab is occurring at the same time. I'd like to have the processed image to save alongside the image I am processing.
Sorry for the big bulk of text. This code has come a long way as it is. If you have any suggestions on making it faster or more efficient please feel free to chime in.
Thanks,
Rob

Thanks for the comment. I have looked into the producer/consumer architecture, but to be honest, I'm not quite sure how everything will work while doing that. I have seen the example codes, and I have thought about implementing (or at least attempting to) but I'm still unconvinced that it will run that much more efficiently. There is other setup outside of the images that had to be done outside of either while loop. Also, I don't know where I would put both loops.
Last time, I attempted to put the grab while loop inside of the state machine. Things got chopped because it took so long to go through the main while loop's "acquisition" state (which is really the processing state). I needed both to simultaneously run. The grab reset every time it went to the "grab" state which is not what I wanted. The only way I can thing to have combatted this was to combine the grab and acquisition in the same state. If that were to happen, I'd take out the for loop and grab one image at a time. However, that would still probably make things even slower than they already are.
In terms of the doing something before an image is assigned in for loop, I don't need that pixel sum value to refresh too quickly. As it is already, the main while loop is slow enough as it is, so I am more afraid that everything will run too slowly the more I do. I know where the bottleneck is in my code, but I can't really see a way to "even out the flow". Even if I moved to the other architecture, I feel it'd take the same amount of time that it does already.
From my debugging, the Image local variable in the main while loop seems to refresh as quickly as the grab while loop spits it out. Granted once the main while loop finally completes, main images have gone by. This is what has to be though because it just take up so much processing power to run through the main while loop state.
As a side note, does labview have an issue with acquiring images in real-time that you have heard of? I ask because when I run the code, there is a solid white line that I'm supposed to see in my display. Every time things either time out or something, the line moves which is not supposed to happen. The line also moves every time I place my mouse cursor in the display or if I spin the mouse wheel to scroll. If I don't do either of those things, it'll eventually move on its own.

What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time?

What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time for a DST enabled timezone?

I've been looking through the related classes and can't seem to find a way to disable DST in any timezone. Probably because they couldn't think of a good reason to want to know what the non-DST time was during DST.
However, you could easily compute the time without DST if that's what you need.

What is the best way to switch from Trial to Purchased

I have the downloaded trial version of InDesign CS3 and will purchase it.
What is the best way to accomplish this once the credit card has been debited?
* Delete the trial version and download the purchased file from Adobe? (I would save off any pages created in the trial version of course).
* Just enter the serial number provided by Adobe into the trial version I have been using and dont bother downloading the link provided by Adobe?
* Delete the downloaded trial version and have Adobe send me the box version (taking longer obviously)? Once again, I would save the pages already created?
Thanks,
Bob

Just enter the serial number.
Note: if you only downloaded InDesign but bought the full suite, you'll
need to uninstall the trial and install the suite.

What is the best way to switch to Thunderbird from Incredimail (old emails and address book)?

I'm feeling trapped in Incredimail. What is the best way to move over to Thunderbird? I'd like to keep my old emails, attachments and the address book as well. Is this possible?
I've seen the program "PCVARE IncrediMail Converter" at www.pcvare.com/incredimail-converter.html#dl.
Isn't there a better way (and free) to get out and away from the Incredimail trap?

Bonjour,
Open the address book window of TB. By the menu Tools / Import you can discover the possibilities and files formats accepted by TB for importing.
I don't know Incredimail, explore the menus of Incredimail to find how you can export data.

What is the best way to edit/sync two video files?

Has anyone had experience with editing 2 movies files? I have recently taken video with 2 cameras of the same quality and am attempting to 'merge' the two video files. What's the best way to 'sync' the 2 files?
Thanks

The real answer is to do this in Final Cut Pro X with the new multicam feature with automatic syncing using the audio wave forms.
However, it is quite possible in iMovie.
Here is how I did it in iMovie.
I recently did this for a video of my niece's senior voice recital. (Video is below)
The key is to use the Cutaway feature of iMovie. If you are not familiar with Cutaway,here is a good tutorial from Ken Stone.
I used the side camera as my base clips, and used the back camera as the cutaway clips. The back camera audio track was OK but had too much coughing and noise.
Here are tips for getting it lined up perfectly.
1) In iMovie/Preferences make sure that you check "Display Time as hh:mm:ss:frames" so you can edit to the frame level. (Also, select "Show Advanced Tools so you get the Cutaway feature)
2) In the iMovie Project View, set the thumbnail slider to 1/2 second so you have a great deal of control.
3) Initially, leave the volume at 100% on the Cutaway track, so that both tracks are playing. You can hear when they are off.
4) Click the "Waveforms" button in the Project view, so you get a visual cue of how to line up the tracks.
5) Between the audible cues and the visual cues, you can nudge the cutaway back and forth one frame at a time by dragging until you have it perfect.
6) When it is lined up to your satisfaction, set the volume slider of the Cutaway track to zero, and turn off the waveforms. You can also move the thumbnail slider back to 5 seconds or so.
7) For some of the fine work, I switched to the "single row timeline view". This slows you down a bit, but lets you see the waveforms more clearly.
8) I made heavy use of the iMovie Comment Marker feature. I watched the whole base video/audio track and inserted comment markers at the points where I wanted the Cutaway to begin and end. For example, a comment might say "Insert Cutaway 1". I would usually time the cutaway so it started at a distinct audio event, such as when the piano start. This comment marker made it easy to drag my cutaway to a point that was approximately correct.
9) If you need to do a lot of cutaways, I find that it helps to use the SPLIT CLIP command in your project. This way you can have a single cutaway per clip, and this makes it easier to manage and is less processor and memory intensive for iMovie. I would use the comments to mark the entry and exit points of the cutaway as described above. I would then select that portion of the clip that included these markers plus a little more, so that a yellow border is around the selection. Then right-click/SPLIT CLIP (or CLIP/SPLIT CLIP in the top menu). This does not physically splt the clip within the Event. It only virtually splits the clip in the project.

What is the best way to manage tasks? I have moved from outlook and only have mail and ical

What is the best way to manage tasks. I have moved from a pc with outlook and have lost 'tasks' in that programme. Do I have to rely on ical or can I download an app to manage business tasks?

iCal does have reminders but its implementation of tasks is pretty wimpy. There are a number of programs that are better geared to the job. I was a level 4 procrastinator until I discovered Getting Things Done and for me Things is perfect. It lets me handle projects which are dependent upon multiple tasks in a no-nonsense easy fashion. Much less expensive and really not much more than a list maker is Wunderlist. Thankfully there's a ton of shareware offerings - check out MacUpdate.com and see what works for you.

What is the best way to setup premiere sequence for export when mixing 24fps and 23.976fps for final

What is the best way to setup a premiere sequence for export when mixing 24fps (CG) and 23.976fps (live action) for final output at 23.976 (vimeo and such).
Right now my sequence is at 24fps, and when I export to 23.976, my dialogues seem to shift.
Should I set my sequence at 23.976fps instead of 24fps?
Thanks in advance for the help, and sincere apologies if this is a noob question.
David

That makes it easy. Remove the CGs from the project. Go to Edit>Preferences>Media... and set the Indeterminate Media Timebase to 23.976. Then when you import the image sequence, PP will assign it the correct frame rate.
Edit in a 23.976 sequence.

First of all, we still don't know what you want to do with this relay. Using a computer to generate is series of pulses is not usually the best way. What is the frequency of the pulses that you want to transmit? And why do you want to use a relay? What are you driving?

What's the best way to create sub-totals & grand-total in SQL2008 R2 (and beyond)?

What is the easiest way to get sub totals and a grand total on data that is being grouped? It looks like RollUp might work, but it's being depreciated.
My query is:
SELECT
COMPANY
,INVSTR_CD
,STATE_C
,SUM(CO_SHARE_TOTBAL) as CO_SHARE_TOTBAL
FROM #ASSET AS A
WHERE A.D_GETIT = 'Y'
GROUP BY COMPANY, STATE_C, INVSTR_CD
ORDER BY COMPANY, INVSTR_CD, STATE_C
I need to provide a sub-total of the SUM'd field (SUM(CO_SHARE_TOTBAL) as CO_SHARE_TOTBAL), at the change of the COMPANY field.
Then a Grand Total of all the SUM'd fields (SUM(CO_SHARE_TOTBAL).
Thanks in advance!!

If you post DDL of your table (only relevant columns) and some data and desired output, I may try to reproduce it. Did you check Jacob's blog post and the very last query? It does take a few trials before getting this correct.
Naomi,
I did try the last query on Jacob's post. I couldn't get the first column to populate.
Thanks for the offer of help.
DML is:
Create Table #ASSET2 (
[COMPANY] [varchar] (5) NULL
,[INVSTR_CD] [varchar](5) NULL
,[STATE_C] [char](2) NULL
,[SHARE_TOTBAL] [decimal] (15,2) NULL)

What's the best way to convert between pixels and device-independent units?

WHAT I HAVE:
Visual Basic 2010, .NET 4.0, WinForms
WHAT I NEED:
I need a way to convert back and forth between device-dependent units (i.e., pixels) and
device-independent units (i.e., inches, centimeters, points). The VB6Compatibility namespace has TwipsPerPixel methods, but I figure there's got to be a more elegant way (especially since my program didn't start in VB6).
Robert Gustafson

"Dots-per-inch" means "pixels-per-inch", right? If I'm right, then
XPixels = Graphics.DpiX * XInches : YPixels = Graphics.DpiY * YInches
and, conversely,
XInches = XPixels / Graphics.DpiX : YInches = YPixels / Graphics.DpiY
Is that correct?
(PS. Why not just tell me about the DpiX and DpiY properties, rather than making me click a link?)

What is the best way to transfer my Yahoo mail account email, email folders and contacts to Mac Mail?

A new version of Yahoo Mail has unexpectedly been dumped on long time users a few days ago, leaving many of us with functions that no longer work and are unstable. There was no announcement of a Beta or a possibility of retaining the old Yahoo Mail. It was like "Here it is, like it or not. We don't care."
My son said "Why don't you use another email client?". I thought of Mac Mail immediately. I have found a lot of instructions as to how to move my Yahoo mail components, and they sound pretty easy, but what I haven't found is what happens to my Inbox email, my archived email and my contacts. Do I have to move all those components to Mac Mail manually, and if so, will they now reside on my hard drive? Maybe I'm getting in over my head here. Some of the instructions say all I need is just my Full Name, Email address and Password. I guess I'm a cynic. It just sounds too good to be true. What happens to the stuff that was on Yahoo?
I have a couple of other reputable email accounts, but I would have to go through all my friends and businesses and inform them of the changed email addy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've never bothered w/Yahoo Mail latest upgrades or updates.
You can switch back to the old version of Yahoo Mail by going into your Yahoo Preferences and/or check the top right hand corner of its website.

What's the best way to upgrade FF 3.6.16 to FF 4 and begin using Sync across multiple platforms?

I love the look and features of FF 4. I recently bought a new laptop for the road and would like to have my FF environment on it --without recreating all of my bookmarks and passwords on it; so it looks like FF4 is the way to go.
Seems like there are two ways to do this...
1) Download FF4 to my desktop (curr. running 3.6.16) and hope that it keeps all my personal browsing info as past FF upgrades have, then add-on Sync, create an account, which I can then use on my new laptop w/o having to re-save a lot of bookmarks and organize a bunch of folders.
-or-
2) Start using Sync ( or Xmarks? in 3.6.16) on my desktop, create the account and then access that browsing environment on my laptop (running FF4) then upgrade my desktop to FF4.
Any recommendation as to which works better, or is less painful?
Anything to watch out for? or steps I've missed?

When you upgrade it will use your existing user data including bookmarks, passwords, cookies and browsing history.
I have been using Firefox Sync since it was in an early development stage about 2 years ago. I have gone through a few upgrades to Firefox since then with no problems during the upgrades. I recommend going to Firefox 4 first because Firefox Sync is built into it so there will be no need to install the add-on.
If required you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6.16
