What is the difference between the 3 folders Data, Original & Modified.

When viewing my photos in iphoto if I go to pictures > iphoto library I see for folders. Data, ipod photo cache, Originals & Modified. I want to know why there is a folder labeled Data and what is its use . Why is it there?

A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
1. Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
2. Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
3. Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
All of the files and folders are necessary for iPhoto to work.
It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss

  • Should I have Copies in 3 Folders - Data, Original & Modified?

    I have a Powerbook G4 that is running out of Hard Disk space & I am looking for opportunities to find some space. I have not touched ANY of the files in the iPhotot Library, as I know that is a no-no, but it looks like I have copies of all pictures in 2 files: Original & Data. & then, for pictures I have modified, there are also copies of those in Modified. I understand the Original & Modified folders. But what about the Data folder? Should it be there? Do I need it?
    I do have a back-up hard drive with copies of everything, but I still need to access my photos when I am not in the office, so simply moving them all to my back-up isn't a great option. I'm also wondering if I delete some photos from my Laptop after I back them up, when I do my next back-up will the photos I deleted from my laptop also be deleted off of my back-up copy?
    Any thoughts or advice would be helpful.....I will get a new Mac Laptop in the Spring, but just trying to stretch my harddrive capacity a bit longer....
    Thank You!!!

    Yes, everything is correct. The "Data" folder contains thumbnails rather than full-sized files.
    First, back up by dragging (copying) the library folder AS AN ENTITY to the backup location. Do NOT attempt to back up portions.
    Second, do all your deletions by accessing the library from INSIDE iPhoto. The backup will not be impacted.
    Third, you might want to break your library into several DVD-sized libraries (this might take some educated guesses). I did it by duplicating my library several times and then carefully deleting appropriate photos from each one. Back them all up the normal way and also burn each one onto DVD and carry a pack of DVDs with you when you travel. With multiple libraries, you need to change the name of each library folder to something that makes sense to you (that's the ONE safe change that you can make to the library). iPhoto will always remember the most recent library that it accessed. Whenever you wish to change to a different library, hold down the Option/Alt key while starting iPhoto and follow directions.

  • What is principle difference between 'payment run' & 'payment lot'

    Hello
    what is principle difference between 'payment run' & 'payment lot' ?
    by 'payment run'  I understand all incoming payments and outgoing credits are settled
    but doesn't payment lot also do that.
    Thanks

    Anshoo,
    Payment Lot = Records Payments made in bulk.
    Payment run = Too records Payments made in bulk
    Difference
    Payment lot = Usually u receive file from bank and post the items as a Lot <inbound file>
    Payment run = U generate Payment run and send the file to the bank <outbound>
    For Payment lot = Customer need not be on Direct Debit
    For Payment run = Customer has to be on Direct Debit
    For Payment lot = Payment can be thru chq/cash/cr card and Payment on account too can be posted
    For Payment run = Payment is made only when the Customer is on DD  and you cannot make payment unless there is either Open Invoice or BB line item
    Hope this clears

  • What is a difference between MB01 and MBST  for GR Cancellation

    Hi,
    What is a difference between MB01 and MBST  for GR Cancellation.
    Regards,
    Aditya

    Hi,
    MB01 is used for doing the GR for collective PO at a single instance.
    This transaction will be utilize when an individual needs to create a material document.  A material document can only be displayed or changed after it has been generated in the SAP system.  In a computer based inventory management system, the principal of "no posting without a document" applies.  A material document is generated and stored in the SAP system for every transaction that causes a change in stock.
    As mentioned, when a goods movement is posted a material document is created.  It serves as proof of the movement   If the movement updates a G/L account; an accounting document is also created. The material and accounting document s are identified by unique document numbers
    Once you have posted a goods movement, you cannot change material numbers, quantities or account numbers in the material document.  You can however use the Change command to enter additional or change text information such as comments or references.  To reverse the movement or change a quantity, a new transaction must be performed.
    MBST:-
    Perform this transaction when a previously performed goods issue must be cancelled due to an error in data entry or other circumstances deem the previous transaction unnecessary.
    Prerequisites:-
    A previously played transaction that requires cancellation.
    An existing Material Document in SAP.
    This Transaction will be utilized when an individual needs to cancel a material document due to a data entry error or other circumstances deem a previous transaction unnecessary. A material document can only be cancelled after it has been generated in the SAP system. A material document is generated and stored in the SAP system for every transaction that causes a change in stock.
    Performing this transaction will "undo" a previous transaction by reversing individual line items in a material document or by reversing an entire material document. This transaction will reinstate the affected cost center, purchase order or stock location to the state they were in prior to playing the original transaction.

  • What is a difference between Intel UMA and intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 ?

    What is a difference between Intel® UMA and intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Which models? UMA refers to shared memory, and is not the actual chipset. So this is simply a case where the video card isn't listed (while in the 3150 model, it is).

  • What deterimes the amount of data in a waveform from a TDS 1012 scope

    Hello,
       What determines the amount of data that is in a waveform that comes out of a TDS 1012 scope? I am assuming that I will have to look at the driver vi to determine the commands sent to the scope to figure it out. I am in a situation that I need to have the y axis to have a high resolution, that results in very little data being collected from the scope.
    Regards,
    Kaspar
    Regards,
    Kaspar

    Hello,
        The amount of data that comes out of the TDS 1012 scope is determined by the data start (DATaTARt)  and data stop (DATaTOP)  commands that are defined on page 58 (2-38) in the  346 page programming manual for the scope. I found of that the data start was not set to 1, which is the beginning of the data.
        I also had a very low level signal on channel that was all most unreadable by the scope that caused me to think that I was not getting all of the data.
    Regards,

  • What is the purpose  of Date From and Date To In Oracle HRMS ?

    hi
    I have doubt on
    What is the purpose of Date From and Date To In Oracle HRMS?
    Thanks

    Where do you see these fields? Please give full details (eg, the navigation path).
    If you're referring to Effective Start Date and Effective End Date (effective_start_date, effective_end_date) these are two fields that appear on many HRMS entities. They're used to store dated history over time. For example:
    14-Jan-2009 to 19-Apr-2009 - Pam Stephens
    20-Apr-2009 to date - Pam Erickson
    In this example Pam got married on the 20th April 2009 and changed her surname from Stephens to Erickson. Here the history of changes are kept so that if we date-track to any time prior to the 20th April 2009 we'll see Pam Stephens and if we date-track on or after the 20th April 2009 we'll see Pam Erickson.

  • When I call nifGetObjectDictionary on a Domain Index, what is the format of data returned

    hello,
    When I call nifGetObjectDictionary on an Active Schedule Domain Index (450) of NI Card, retrieved from S-OD -> DLL Link Schedule OD Index, what is the format of data returned? I received 0801C202FFFF000000 as data and it is not matching with FF-Spec (Field Device Access Agent, page 95).
    Could you please let me know the format/structure of the data i received, so that i can parse them and understand?
    Also let me know is there any API available in NI API to upload/read Schedule Domain?
    Thanks
    Shankar.

    Sorry for replying late!
    We don't have the nifGetObjectDictionary function, so may I make a guess that you mean nifGetObjectDescription? If I'm right, there will be some trouble.
    To be honest, basically we don't support the APIs which are not included in the "NI-FBUS CM Function Reference Manual". In further, would you please let me know how you find this kind of internal functions? We cannot support it until we verify the customer has bought the complete version of APIs package and this package is still in the support period. If it matches your case, would you please help me in the verification? And then we can support the details for your question later.
    On the other hand, we don't have the APIS to upload/read Schedule Domain now.

  • What is the planed release date for 10g for Windows?

    Hi,
    10g fo HP and Sparc is already out, but windows not yet. Is it known what is the planed release date for Oracle 10g for Windows?
    TIA,

    On the other hand it's just somewhat funny for me, that it looks as if marketing woudl decide which platform is released first. Some times it is Linux, some times it is Solaris and then again it is Windows. You simply can never know.
