What is the point of referenced images
i'm starting to think either ap2.1 is a vastly inferior product to its predecessor, or there are just so many bugs and kinks that still have yet to be worked out and apple has given no indication when they will.
In addition to my still unresolved constant thumbnail regeneration issue when using referenced images from when ap2.0 launched, I am now experiencing problems when trying to edit referenced images using an external editor (in my case photoshop)
after exporting the image via aperture to photoshop for editing, making my edits, and then saving them in phothshop, the psd. file which is created in aperture is NOT acknowledging the edit...typically when working with a non-referenced image aperture will update the psd. file almost immediately with a new thumbnail image recognizing the change. in this case, not only is it not generating a new thumbnail, but when i click on generate thumbnail nothing happens. furthermore, upon closing and reopening aperture, the referenced psd. is missing, and the original referenced RAW image file is stacked with only itself (a small number 1 indicating a stack but only 1 image in the stack).
is there an aperture support number that I can call? I have been severely disappointed with the performance of this program.
To your post header, I think the point of referenced images is self evident. They allow you to store your images on external media, or to utilize your own folder structure for organization in the finder. Many people prefer this to having Aperture manage the images in one library. I use a combination of both methods.
That's the "point" of them. Now if you're having some issues using them, or it you're experiencing unusual behavior that's a different topic. I round trip to Photoshop (less and less with 2.1 and the new plug-ins) with my referenced images without the problems you describe. Once I've made my edits in Photoshop and save the image, when I return to Aperture the image appear next to the original, in a stack, displaying the edits I performed in Photoshop. Additionally the new image is stored in the same location as my referenced image.
Why you're not seeing this I'm not certain. There can't be a stack of one image. What can happen if you have a smart album for example, or the search field set to display only 5 star rated images, is that the photo from a stack that meets that criteria will show up in the browser. It will also show the stack number. However, if no other images in the stack meet the criteria of the search, they will not display even if you click on the stack. So it will seem like there is a stack of one image since you can display only that one image. This only happens if you've got a filter of some kind in effect.
I also don't have the problems with thumbnails you describe, and I use Aperture daily with thousands of images. I would suggest rebuilding your library as a first step (hold down the command-option key at launch).

What is the point of jpg files being sidecar files to raw images?
When importing folders containing raw and jpeg copies of each image (in my case NEF and JPG), you only ever have access to the raw file in LR, even though the jpeg is imported into the catalogue. I can't really see the point of this functionality, apart from knowing that there is a jpeg present.
Although you can import with the 'treat JPEG ... as separate photos' option checked, if you have already imported without this option, applied adjustments, etc. to your raw images, then decided that you want to see the jpg images as well, it seems that you can't do it and preserve your raw image adjustments. I tried exporting the catalogue, then deleting the raw+jpeg images from the catalogue, re-importing with treat jpeg as separate photos, then trying to restore the raw adjustments from the exported catalogue. This resulted in a Warning dialog - 'Lightroom could not import this catalogue because of an unknown error'. This is not very helpful. Despite this 'unknown error', I ended up with one duplicated raw file (the first image) with the adjustments that I saved in the exported catalogue.
It would be far better and more useful (to me at least) if LR had a function that could toggle between the 'coupled' and 'uncoupled' state for raw+jpeg files in a similar way that images can be stacked and unstacked. I would like to be able to selectively view my jpeg's for comparison purposes with the raw images, since LR generally does a poor job of converting NEF files to an 'as shot' image, which is where I would like to start from. I love LR, but feel that its inability to handle NEF conversions properly is a very big minus.

What is the point of the download window if you use stacks?
Greetings,
One of the most annoying things about the download window was the fact that the window always hung around after completing dowloads in Tiger when using safari. To me, that was just a time waster of always pressing Apple+W to close that window.
When Leopard was released, I was excited to realize that one function of the download stack was to recevie downloads from safari after completed. However, after completion, the download window still sticks around and I still have to close it... then navigate to my stack of downloads to mount the image. What is the point of the download window is I use stacks now? Why can't the window disappear after completion?
//CheersAaargh!! Me too - it's so annoying! Firefox has a downloads window as well - I just don't see the point of it. I didn't like it in Tiger either.
As a way to see the progress of downloads, it's fine, but it should at least close when all the downloads are finished, and completed downloads should not display.
Ideally it should look & work exactly like the Copy window in Finder - the one that comes up when you are copying or moving a large file or number of files from one folder to another.
Is there a hack that will make it work like that? -
What's the Point of Photo Stream?
What is the point of having the option to turn on or off the photo stream if it no longer exists? If it has been replaced by the recent activity feature then why not have the option to turn on or off the recent activity feature?
Photo Stream only handles images and your videos are not uploaded or shared with other devices.
Use iPhoto to import from your device. It can bring in the videos and image files. -
What's the point of archiving to ALAC?
I did all the googling and learned pretty much all I need to know about archiving my 1000 CD collection to ALAC. And I just successfully ripped my first ever CD to ALAC.
The only question I never saw answered anywhere was whether or not there is any advantage to ALAC for archive purposes now that hard drives are so cheap.
I just bought a 2TB drive at Costco for $130.
The first CD I ripped was 693mb, per iTunes. Once I ripped it to ALAC, it was 450mb. That's a space savings of 35%.
If my average CD has 650mb of data on it ... times 1000 CDs in my collection ... that 635 gigs.
If I save 35% via ALAC, that's now 412 gigs. That (now, on a 2TB drive) is a negligible difference.
So I'm asking ... what's the point? This isn't 2004 when 200 gigs would have cost a lot of money.
I understand for playback, ALAC is cool because you've got tags and album artwork.
But for archiving a CD collection to a hard drive just for the purpose of safe storage ... is there any advantage anymore to converting the file format?
Why not just use Toast or whatever and save a bunch of disc images?John_Neumann wrote:
Thank you, Ed2345.
Regarding your last sentence ... isn't making a new physical CD pretty much the same process whether disc image or ALAC? I understand you just drop an IMG into Toast and hit burn ... or drop an ALAC into XLD and hit burn. Or is there a step I still don't understand?
-JOHN
John,
It is not actually the same process. The burn from disc image copies the image, i.e. all contents and structure, onto the CD. The burn from ALAC (or WAV or AIFF) reconstructs the audio, creates a table of contents, adds its own gaps, and then burns that to the CD.
However, if your future intent is to use the songs in a player such as iTunes, the ALAC files will be ready to go, while the disc image will still need ripping. -
What's the point of redo logs?
Why does Oracle bother writing everything to redo logs? If it's going to write data changes to the disk, why not just write them once to the data files and be done with it? What's the point of doing it twice? And if it's a redundancy thing, why not mirror the data disks?
Hemant K Chitale wrote:
How would you backup a database while it is in use ? You can't lock all the datafiles to prevent writes to them. Yet, transactions may be updating different blocks in different datafiles even as the backup is in progress. Say your backup starts with datafile 1 (or even datafiles 1,2,3,4 in parallel) at time t0. By time t5, it has copied 20% of the datafile to tape or alternate disk backup location. Along comes a transaction that updates the 100th block (somewhere within the 10-11% range) of datafile 1 and also the 60th block of datafile 5. Meanwhile, the backup continues running, already having taken a prior image of the 100th block and not being aware that the block has been changed. At time t25 it completes datafile 1 (or datafiles 1,2,3,4) and starts backing up datafile 5. Now, when it copies the 60th block of datafile 5, it (the backup utility) doesn't know that this block is inconsistent with the backup image of the 100th block of datafile 1.
Instead of 1 transaction imagine 100 or 1000 transactions occurring while the backup is running.
Surely, Oracle must be able to regenerate a consistent image of the whole database when it is restored ?
That is what the Redo stream provides. The Redo stream is written to Archivelogs so that it can be backed up -- no Archivelog file is "in flux" (particularly if you use RMAN to backup the Archivelogs as well !).
Had Oracle been merely writing to the datafiles alone, without a Redo stream, there is no way it could recreate a consistent database -- whether after Crash Recovery OR after Media Recovery.Interesting point about how redo logs facilitate backups. So what you're saying is that the redo logs help keep the data in the actual data files in a consistent state by only writing full transactions to them at a time. Presumably Oracle will either write out the redo log data to the data files before a backup or will at least prevent the redo logs from writing to the data files during a backup. I always wondered how databases got around that problem of keeping the system available for writing during a backup. I wonder how SQL Server does it.
Hemant K Chitale wrote:
Now, approach this from another angle. A database consists of 10 or 100 or 500 datafiles. You have 10 or 100 or 1000 sessions issuing COMMITs to complete their transactions, which could be of 1 row or 100 rows or 1million rows, each transaction of a different size. Should the 1000 sessions be forced to wait while Oracle writes all those updated blocks to disk in different datafiles -- how many blocks can it write in "an instant" ?
But what if Oracle manages to write much less information -- the bare minimum (called "change vectors") to re-play every transaction to a single file serially ? That would be much faster. Imagine writing to 500 datafiles concurrently, having to open the file, progess to the required block address and update the block, for each block changed in each file VERSUS writing much lesser information serially to a single file -- if the file is full, switch to another file, but keep writing serially.As to your second point, I don't really have a good enough understanding about the format of redo logs vs. the data files to follow you totally. Are you saying that it takes more time to write to the data files because you have to find the proper place in the B-Tree before you can write to it? And that doing that is slower than just opening the redo log and always appending new information to the very end? Maybe so, but it seems like all transactions having to write to a single redo log in serial would slow things down since there would be a ton of contention for one file. Whereas with the data files, you could potentially have several transactions writing to different files simultaneously (provided you hardware would support doing that). And it seems to me like a change vector would contain a lot more information than a field value, but, like I said, I'm not really familiar with the format. -
What is the point in converting type to shapes rather than just flattening at required resolution?
Ok, this may sound like a stupid question. Lets say I'm designing a trifold in Photoshop. The printer requests that designs be done at a resolution of 300dpi.
What is the point in converting all type to shapes prior to saving or embedding fonts when I can just flatten my entire design at 300dpi? Isn't that what the print shop is going to do anyway...just flatten my design? Or do they print type at a higher resolution than the raster portions of the design? This has confused me for too long. I hope someone can clear this up. ThanksThe core of the bad advice is telling you to rasterize all your type. In light of this bad advice, the fact that they're saying 300ppi does make sense, because the last thing they want are images @ 2400ppi!
That been said, Photoshop is never the right tool for most text applications anyway, even though it does support vector output (to a point, and with some issues that are sometimes problematic to get around). If you have larger text that needs to be integrated into the image, or effected with Photoshop filters, etc. that's one thing, but if you're laying out paragraph text / body copy / lyrics and liner notes for a CD, etc. then you should be using Illustrator or InDesign -- an app that is designed to handle vector text and objects.
re: online printers: sorry, I haven't used any as of yet. I do have a couple of one-off book projects I'm going to send to Lulu, and a friend here in work uses Overnight Prints and seems pretty happy with them. But aside of that, I can't really offer any specific recommendations. Hopefully someone else can chime in here. -
This is probably as stupid as it sounds, but it suddenly struck me today, but what is the point of having AVCHD/ HDV compatibility and editing on FCE/ FCP if you can only burn the projects onto a standard def DVD? Does FCE give you any other options in tems of what you do with your freshly edited High Def content? Do you lose a heap of quality when you burn it to DVD?
hey there qsack,
in the USN i was told the only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask. you can send your HDV project back to tape in your cam to watch on your HDTV... the shoot/edit/distribute flow that we have in DV, is not yet ready w/ HDV, partly because of the cost of the burners & the R&D to develop the authoring software for mass commercial use(make it simple enough for average users as w/ iDVD). also the major studios are probably closely guarding the technology in part due concerns about piracy, also the HD-disc format war thing.... these are just some of the speculations on why we can't yet burn our HD movies to disc.
i've burned some of my HDV content to SD discs & they look pretty good, because i had good lighting to start with. though i dropped down a lot in terms of res from 1080i to 480p. i was okay w/ the results & as w/ most graphic types be it print, photo or video, it's usually better to start out w/ more or larger(1080/720) & if you have to shrink it(480) you still have a decent image rather than have a small image & try to scale up. for example--a photo from a 10 megapixel DSLR "RAW" file will still have a lot of detail & look good when it gets down-converted to a JPEG vs. a photo from a 2 megapixel phone camera that starts as a JPEG. -
I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and now I am in Greece. I cannot download free apps as I get a message that the apps are not available in the SA store and only in US stores. When I change to the US store the same thing happens. What is the point of having an iPad if I cannot use it worldwide??? I feel that I wasted my money purchasing it as I specifically purchased it to use when I travel. How can I get access to all the available apps and why are they restricted.
You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
in the US with verified billing address in the US.
You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
the aforesaid conditions. -

Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.

I am a student coming from Hong Kong to London for postgraduate study. Before I left Hong Kong, I decided to buy a netbook for my lecturers in the UK. Lenovo s10-2 was chosen because the version available in HK comes with 6 cell battery with international warranty and Lenovo Protection Service (against accidental damage).
This is the first Lenovo machine for me. All was well and I was starting to appreciate Lenovo. Suddenly, the LED screen started to flick with white lines moving across the it, just two weeks after I bought it from Hong Kong.
Yesterday, I called the UK support line who initially suggested replacement (because the purchase is last than 30-day old). However, when the agent found out that I bought the machine in Hong Kong, he said I could only get it repairs. Fair enough.
I packed the netbook this afternoon ready to ship it to the repair center. Being not sure about whether or not my proof of purchase was needed, I called the support line again. This time, the agent gave me a "friendly warning" or maybe a management of my expectations.
I was told that Lenovo believes that there is a 99.5% chance that these type of problems are due to “internal damages" caused by users! I was also advised that sending the machine in for repairs risk myself getting into paying 230 pounds (pretty much the purchase cost) to get the LED screen fixed because it is likely to be not covered by warranty. On top of that, I would have to pay 65 pounds even if I want my netbook back after inspection without getting fixed because again, 99.5% chance that "damages by users" would be concluded!
What's the point of warranty? Totally unacceptable. Any thoughts? Should I take the risk?
I only got the machine just over two weeks ago and used for less than 10 times!seblee,
This bears a bit of looking into to provide you the best answer. Sometimes, the accidental damage policies are only valid in the home country, and I would like to check. If that were to be the case, you would have replacement or repair options in HK, but standard warranty terms would likely apply in UK.
Your situation sounds exceptional, and I'd like to look into this and see what can be done.
Can your send me a private message with your contact information and the serial number from the bottom of the unit?
Sorry that you are having this trouble. Will see how we can help.

0Did you ever have a business scenario where a Numerical column should store values only with a fixed precision and scale ?Lots of business requirements for specific precisions and scales.
A persons Age may required to be stored as whole numbers of no more than 3 digits.
A sum of money may required to be stored with no more than 2 decimal places of accuracy e.g. GB Pounds and Pence or US Dollars and Cents
A unit of length may required to be stored in metres with 2 decimal places for centimetres
A shoe size may be required to be stored with one decimal place for half sizes
etc.
etc.
Yes, you may just create all of them as generic NUMBER datatype, but creating them with precision and scale can provide additional information about the limitations expected for the values stored, especially for things like reporting tools that may use the specified precision and scale to determine how to display the values automatically (by default).
If you start questioning "what's the point?" then you may as well say what's the point in having a NUMBER datatype when we can store numbers in a VARCHAR2 datatype? or what's the point in having a DATE datatype when we can stored dates as VARCHAR2 datatype? etc.
No point in asking such a question because there's almost always a point to these things (and if there isn't they get deprecated in later versions). -
What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines?
What is the point of having indented levels in course outlines? It's not possible to add any materials or posts to this. I want to avoid having simply a long list of topics that are difficult to manage. When I create a topic in the outline, I can indent it, but then I can't add any posts to it as it doesn't even show up as a heading in course manager.
I've been trying to have some kind of logical organisation of materials, but the only thing you seem to be able to do is have a long list of topics.
Which makes me wonder why the possibility of indenting levels is there at all - it seems to be a completely worthless item.I guess the point of the indented lists is to provide the user with some description of the topic’s contents. It's a standard convention in the table of contents of books. It might pay to break your course down into a number of courses if the list of topics is getting too unwieldy.

JWSDP and J2EE Integration: Doesn't work. What's the point?
My problems involve the integration of JWSDP and J2EE as described in these two documents:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/wsj2ee/
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/documentation/windows_guide.html
It looks like a long one, but it�s really not that bad. All comments are appreciated.
I�ve numbered each line-paragraph-section for easy reference later.
(1) My ultimate goal is to setup a website that displays data from a database. I will use Java, Apache, Oracle, and whatever else I need to create a website that uses servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP), and JDBC.
(2) I�ve got four Pentium III computers:
1. Windows 2000 Server to be the web server (MyWebServer, IP = 10.10.1.1).
2. Windows 2000 Professional to be the database server (MyDatabaseServer, IP = 10.10.1.2).
3. Windows 2000 Professional that I use to develop and test (MyDeveloperPC, IP = 10.10.1.3).
4. Windows 2000 Professional that I use as a client to connect to the website (MyClientPC, IP = 10.10.1.4).
(3) On MyWebServer I installed the following:
Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE)
Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP)
The JWSDP tutorial
Apache HTTP Server
(4) The files I downloaded and installed are as follows:
j2sdk-1_4_0-rc-win.exe
j2sdkee-1_3_1-win.exe
jwsdp-1_0-ea1-win.exe
jwsdp-1_0-ea1_01-tutorial.zip
apache_1.3.23-win32-x86-no_src.exe
(5) After installing these products, I set the environment variables as follows:
JAVA_HOME = c:\j2se
J2EE_HOME = c:\j2ee
JWSDP_HOME = c:\jwsdp
Path = c:\j2se\bin;c:\j2ee\bin;c:\jwsdp\bin; [and other previous statements]
(6) I checked to see that Apache is running as a service. It is.
On MyWebServer I start Tomcat and J2EE. Both start properly and are operating simultaneously.
(7) From MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
http://10.10.1.1
This displays the page c:\ApacheHTTP\apache\htdocs\index.html.en (The Apache default server installation page.)
(8) I then enter this address in IE:
http://10.10.1.1:8080
This displays the page c:\jwsdp\webapps\root\index.html (The default JWSDP page).
(9) I then enter this address in IE:
http://10.10.1.1:8000
This displays the page c:\j2ee\public_html\index.html (The J2EE 1.3 Default Home Page).
(10) So far so good. Now I want to test JWSDP as a container for JSP pages.
(11) I use ant to build the converter app found in the tutorial examples (in folder c:\jwsdp\�\tutorial\examples\gs). I then deploy the converter app to the c:\jwsdp\webapps\gs folder.
(12) From MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
http://10.10.1.1:8080/gs
The converter app works perfectly.
(13) To eliminate the need to enter the port number, I create a link from the Apache default server installation page to the converter app. From MyClientPC and enter this address into IE:
http://10.10.1.1
I then click on the link to the converter app and it works perfectly.
(14) Question: Is this the best way to display JSP pages without having to enter the port number?
(15) Now it�s time to integrate JWSDP and J2EE as described in these two documents:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/wsj2ee/
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/documentation/windows_guide.html
(16) After I complete this integration I cannot start both Tomcat and J2EE at the same time. This makes sense because they both share port 8080.
I start Tomcat.
(17) From MyClientPC and use Internet Explorer to test the various relevant addresses. Everything works the same as it did before except this one:
http://10.10.1.1:8000
The page cannot be displayed. The J2EE default home page is not displayed, which makes sense because the J2EE port is no longer 8000; it has been changed to 8080.
(18) Now I shutdown Tomcat and start J2EE.
From MyClientPC and use Internet Explorer to test the various relevant addresses:
(19) http://10.10.1.1:8080
Displays the JWSDP default home page.
(20) http://10.10.1.1:8080/gs
The page cannot be displayed. The converter app no longer works.
(21) From MyWebServer and use Internet Explorer to test localhost:
http://localhost:8080
This displays the J2EE default home page.
(22) Question: Why does localhost give me a different page than the IP address?
(23) Question: What was the point of integrating JWSDP and J2EE?
(24) I want to get the converter app working, so I create a .war file and attempt to add it to the J2EE deploytool (see the two integration documents listed above at section 15.) I create the .war file following the instructions in the JWSDP tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/ea1/tutorial/doc/WebApp3.html#64606
(25) I change to the c:\jwsdp\�\tutorial\examples\gs\build folder.
I then type:
jar cvf converter.war .
A .war file is created.
(26) I open the deploytool: File, New, Application, and I name it �converter�.
I attempt to add the .war file: File, Add to Application, Web WAR.
(27) When I attempt to add the converter.war file I get this error:
�converter.war does not appear to be a valid web JAR.�
I tried a few different attempts, all with the same result. I�m stuck.
(28) I ask again, What was the point of integrating JWSDP and J2EE?
(29) If this is the preferred configuration, how do I display my JSP pages like the converter app?
Please help!!!The JWSDP tutorial says to be in the �build� folder of the example when issuing the jar command to create the .war file. The build folder is created when I run the �ant build� command.
Attempt 1 from the command prompt in folder c:\jwsdp\tutorial\examples\gs\build>
I typed this command:
jar cvf c:\jaxmservices\converter.war .
In this case I directed the .war file to be placed in a different folder as you suggested. Here�s the output:
added manifest
adding: index.jsp(in = 921) (out= 525)(deflated 42%)
adding: WEB-INF/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%)
adding: WEB-INF/classes/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%)
adding: WEB-INF/classes/Converter.class(in = 582) (out= 358)(deflated 38%)
Didn�t work. Same error as before.
Attempt 2 from the same folder:
I typed this command as you suggested (I tried it with and without the final dot):
jar tvf converter.war
Here is the output:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: converter.war (The system cannot find the file specified)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:103)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:66)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:185)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:904)
I tried a few other variations on these attempts with no luck. I�m stuck.
I�m attempting to create a .war file out of two files: index.jsp and converter.class.
Now that I�ve integrated JWSDP and J2EE, is there some other way that I can run the converter app instead of a .war file and the deploytool? In other words, if I go back to using ant to build and deploy converter, where would I deploy it so that it will work with J2EE?
By the way, it doesn�t have to be converter. I�d be happy if I could get any JSP page to work in J2EE after the integration.
Forever grateful,
Logan
