What's new in Project Siena Beta2

1. A big push on services. Please see
S. Somasegar's blog post.
You will be able to make apps with modern functionality like social connections, web intelligence, translate and text to speech.
Not just read, but also update.
Not just static, but dynamic.
Treat a service just like a function.
We will soon be giving guidance on how you will be able to connect to popular SaaS products, e.g. Salesforce.com, and IT-created services.
2. Quick start with images. Just select a bunch of images from any file folder, Siena will automatically create a gallery and even create an Excel table for you -- just use.
3. Many of you asked for documentation about functions. We went all the way. Now, click on Fx and you'll be able to discover every function -- even the ones you brought in via a service.
4. A "Refresh" function for RSS and SharePoint.
5. An Excel-like "Find" function for searching through strings.
6. Load Data and Save Data can now be used to save/reload images, audio, pen notes. Beta1 already had ability to save state and data, so this is now a rich functionality.
7. YouTube -- the video visual can now stream video from YouTube.
8. Faster load of large documents and apps.
9. You'll see improvements sprinkled in the UI, including an updated top app bar.
10. Windows 8.1 apps.
It is 3 months and 5 days since we went public with Beta1, so I'm sure you'll enjoy this pace. Expect more from us, and keep the feedback coming!

Error in saving and Project Siena close/crash

I am new to Project Siena and when I try to save my work, I receive an error:
"Error: test.siena cannot be saved. The file may be in use by another application"
Another problem is when I load a WADL, the Project Sienna closes or crashes. The WADL I am loading comes from the WADL generator tool.
Any thoughts on how to resolve these problems?
Thanks

Hi Medel,
We fully support Windows 8.1 Enterprise, therefore it is alright to use that SKU. As long as you have Windows 8.1, all that Siena needs, will be provided by the Operating System.
As a follow up for you, on the other laptop, if you do the following what happens?
1) Reboot
2) Start Siena, once the machine comes back up
3) Start a new document and save as something other than "test.siena", on your desktop
Does it save? If it does not, you may have to post on the Windows Forum and see what suggestions are available.
Thanks.

My 2 Project Siena Apps listed as New and Rising in Windows Store

Hmmn, my two latest Project Siena apps, GOES Satellite Imagery and Doppler Radar Mosaic Imagery are
listed as new and rising with some heavyweight products like BBC and Weather Channel. I must be hallucinating. I have no idea what being listed with such heavy hitters means, but...

How to incorporate live tiles into a Project Siena app (kinda)

Hi guys,
I have been playing around with getting some live tiles into my project siena app (Astronomy Action Centre), and at last I have managed it.
What I did was as follows
Publish your app as normal and import it into Visual Studio
When you have it imported paste this code into the init.js file. I pasted mine into the following location of that file. Near the top of the file (just before the var statements)
CODE TO PASTE
var notifications = Windows.UI.Notifications;
                var recurrence = notifications.PeriodicUpdateRecurrence.hour;
                var urls = [
                    new Windows.Foundation.Uri("url1"),
                    new Windows.Foundation.Uri("url2"),
                    new Windows.Foundation.Uri("url3"),
                    new Windows.Foundation.Uri("url4"),
                    new Windows.Foundation.Uri("url5")
                notifications.TileUpdateManager.createTileUpdaterForApplication().enableNotificationQueue(true);
                notifications.TileUpdateManager.createTileUpdaterForApplication().startPeriodicUpdateBatch(urls, recurrence);
END OF PASTE
What you need to do now is replace the url1,url2,url3,url4,url5 with data sources.
I got mine from http://www.buildmypinnedsite.com/en
This site creates live tiles for your webpage but we are going to use the datasources for our app.
Enter the RSS details of the site that you want to have as a live tile into this site.
Here is the RSS url from my own site
http://www.viewfromascope.com/feed/
follow the steps through to the last one and you will get a code like this
<meta
name="msapplication-TileColor"
content="#000000"/>
<meta
name="msapplication-notification"
content="frequency=30;polling-uri=http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://www.viewfromascope.com/feed/&id=1;polling-uri2=http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://www.viewfromascope.com/feed/&id=2;polling-uri3=http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://www.viewfromascope.com/feed/&id=3;polling-uri4=http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://www.viewfromascope.com/feed/&id=4;polling-uri5=http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://www.viewfromascope.com/feed/&id=5;
cycle=1"/>
Now copy the links below in place of the url1,url2,url3,url4,url5 in the code we pasted into visual studio.
http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://www.viewfromascope.com/feed/&id=1
http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://www.viewfromascope.com/feed/&id=2
http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://www.viewfromascope.com/feed/&id=3
http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://www.viewfromascope.com/feed/&id=4
http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://www.viewfromascope.com/feed/&id=5
Now save and run your app, if you browse to your Start menu and pin your app you should see the live tiles updating.
the caveat is that you have no control over the layout of the tiles, it seems to work best in wide and square format, the large tile updates but keeps repeating the same news.
So there it is live tiles on a project siena app.
if anyone can add to this I would love to hear from you, or if you have any questions please let me know.
Latest Version of my own Project Siena App with live tiles
http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/app/0c8cff77-1e0f-445b-9628-92fe602d2c98

If you aren't going to use a live tile on an actual website, you don't have to use buildmypinnedsite dot com.
Here is a template. If you have multiple REST/RSS sources, you can use different sources for each of the 5 items that are cycled. They can be from different sites. You need to check if images in the feeds are enclosures. If they are, then the feed won't
work properly. You can use text and image based feeds or text only, just don't use any that have enclosed images. Here is a template you can copy and paste. replace the red text with your own customized information.
var notifications = Windows.UI.Notifications;
var recurrence = notifications.PeriodicUpdateRecurrence.HalfHour;
var urls = [
new Windows.Foundation.Uri("http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://whateverrssfeed1&id=1"),
new Windows.Foundation.Uri("http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://whateverrssfeed2&id=2"),
new Windows.Foundation.Uri("http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://whateverrssfeed3&id=3"),
new Windows.Foundation.Uri("http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://whateverrssfeed4&id=4"),
new Windows.Foundation.Uri("http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed=http://whateverrssfeed5&id=5")
notifications.TileUpdateManager.createTileUpdaterForApplication().enableNotificationQueue(true);
notifications.TileUpdateManager.createTileUpdaterForApplication().startPeriodicUpdateBatch(urls, recurrence);

My first Project Siena APP! - Cooking Utility Belt

Just started using Project Siena and I built my first app. What a fun experience. There was a bit of a learning curve and some additional documentation would have helped but the forum came through for me. Here is my app, check it out :)
Cooking Utility Belt
Tim

Doing some more research, I came across this in the free e-book from Microsoft Press, Programming Windows Store Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (Second Edition):
For basic licensing and trial enforcement, the good news is that both are effortless: the app doesn’t need to do anything at all! A user cannot acquire your app without going through the Store, and even if he did manage to, he’d have to have a developer
license to install and run it. Furthermore, because the Store automatically tracks trial periods for apps, Windows will simply not launch an app once the trial is expired. Instead, Windows will redirect the user to the product’s page in the Store where the
user can purchase a full license.
What that means to me is that when submitting the app in the store you can select if it's a trial mode or not.
Although it's not as elegant of a solution with code, at least there isn't a concern of losing functionality when a new version of Siena is released, either!

I can't download Project Siena Beta3 from Store

Dear officers,
First of all thank you for developing "Project Siena" I was waiting for Beta3 for a long time. I am a little disappointed when I first saw whats new in the third Beta. I was waiting for Barcode / Text recognition (via camera) implementation. But
I am hopefully waiting to see it in the next versions. My problem is;
- I can not access to Windows Store through my Work-laptop.But I can install appx files by running with Powershell. Is there a place where I can download Beta3 in "*.appx" format?
-Or any other methots without the official Store is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Oguz

I'm wondering if maybe there was an oversight and it just didn't get listed for your region?
Maybe the following would be a temporary work-around to get it installed - switch your region with the below help and maybe then you'll be able to see it / install?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/use-windows-store-country-region-help
(below text were steps I found in a different post - I don't recall where I found this as this was several days ago and came from a MS employee responding to a similar type of inquiry not related to Siena)
Some apps are unavailable in some countries or regions. In this case, if someone shared a link to an app with you, you’ll be able to see the app description page on the web but when you try to view the app in the Store, you’ll see a message that the app
isn’t available. To check your country or region setting perform the steps mentioned below:
a: Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and tap Settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Settings.)
b: Tap or click Change PC settings.
c: Tap or click Time and language, then tap Region and language
d: Under Country or region, look to see that your location is set correctly, and change it if it's not

My latest Project Siena App is now in the store

I decided to build yet another Project Siena App the other day when I was semi snowed in.
My NWS-NOAA Weather Prediction Mini Center Windows 8 app lets you quickly view the National Forecast Chart for three days, shows the Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts for up to 7 days, and view Excessive Rainfall Forecasts. It’s available now in the
Windows Store (for USA). You can read more about it (and my love for Project Siena) at
http://digitalmediaphile.com/index.php/2014/02/20/my-weather-prediction-mini-center-app-is-now-available/.
This very simple app went through store certification in record time yesterday. Made my head spin.
Submitted at 1:15pm
Approved at 2:10pm
Available at 2:45pm
All times above Eastern.
Main screen:
Can't wait to see what the next release of Project Siena brings. Hoping for Portrait view CSS support and Windows 8.1 target support.

that's really cool. I like that alot.
After I saw your post about the app, I stopped playing with mine ;-) Maybe
I'll finish it... But since yours works, I didn't see any need <G> as I was not sure how to fix the messy HTML tags in the description. Like I said, MS has an RSS feed that leaves a lot to be desired.

How do I create a new iDVD project without a theme

I completed an iMovie HD project with an opening title (white letters on black) and all my edited film clips, transitions, sound, etc. It's just the way I want it when I play it back in iMovie. I shared it to Media Browser so I could import it into iDVD. When I start the new iDVD project is appears to force me to choose a Theme. I don't want a new theme. I just want my movie to look just the way I created in iMovie. How do I over ride this step?

A couple of ways to do this ....
1. What I recommend is an "AutoStart Dvd" which involves dragging and dropping your QT movie / file while in mapview to the first / top box. This allows the movie to play in Kiosk Mode and you can also select the loop function so essentially you never actually see a start menu (just the movie) since the dvd will automatically play as soon as it's inserted into most set top dvd players or computers. (the following pic is from iDvd6 however the procedure is idential in iDvd'08 as well).
Click Here
Click Here
2. A One Step Dvd from a QT movie / file is also possible and this approach has no menu at all.
To burn a OneStep DVD from a movie on your hard disk:
With iDVD open, choose File > “OneStep DVD from Movie.” as pictured above.
Locate the movie you want to add in the dialog that opens, then click Import.
Insert a blank DVD disc into your computer’s SuperDrive or an external drive when you are prompted to do so.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

Upgrade from BW 3.5 to BW 7.0 (BI 7.0)
Hi,
Some features of BI 7 are
1. In Infosets now you can include Infocubes as well.
2. The Remodeling transaction helps you add new key figure and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This is only for info cube.
3. The BI accelerator (for now only for infocubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accl is a separate box and would cost more. Vendors for these would be HP or IBM.
4. The monitoring has been imprvoed with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in ur project for implementing the portal !
5. Search functionality hass improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
6. Transformations are in and routines are passe! Yess, you can always revert to the old transactions too.
this is a good PDF on Upgrade from BW 3.5 to BW 7.0

What's New and What's Fixed in 2014.1

First, here are links to the two main documents about new features in the 2014.1 release:
Product Manager Al Mooney's blog: Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 Release
The What's New page in the Help: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | New features summary
(I'll review both of those documents ASAP to see if any little goodies got skipped.)
And now, the bugs that were fixed in this release:
Import
Import of CinemaDNG clip fails if the file has been renamed.
Gamma shift in some re-imported QuickTime IMX clips
Some QuickTime Reference files import without timecode.
Indexing of XDCAM clips can take an excessively long time, footage shows Media Pending until indexing completes.
XAVC-S files import without Timecode
Unable to import certain XDCAMHD 422 Long-GOP clips with Pixel Aspect Ratio of 0.7500 MXF
Spanned XDCAM HD422 clips not handled correctly if the clip names do not follow the normal convention
When a sequence is loaded from Media Browser to the Source Monitor and then inserted to a sequence without explicitly importing, two copies of the sequence are added to project.
Scaling values are not properly handled for clips/sequences imported via an XML file written by some shot management and conforming programs
If the reported duration of an XDCAM HD MXF clip shorter than the actual length in the file, then frames outside the stated duration can be accessed.
Some XAVC and XDCAM-IMX-MXF clips have audio noise introduced on playback
Some .mp4 have green frames and 'static' garbage when played in Source Monitor
Canon XF300 Footage has unacceptable performance for playback
.mp4 clips generated by certain transcoding programs exhibit poor playback performance
PPro no longer recognizes timecode from a .qtc file, referenced from within a QuickTime reference movie.
Some XDCAM422 clips fail to import with generic error
Occasional crash on opening Source Settings for DNG footage, with 2nd monitor enabled
Overexposed white areas in some CinemaDNG footage display magenta artifacts.
When scrubbing C300 clips in Project panel’s Icon view, red frames sometimes show and Event panel reports error decoding frame.
If SpeedGrade was installed before Premiere, then double-clicking a prproj file launches SpeedGrade (Mac Only)
Growing Files
The last frames of some growing file are green. Must relaunch Premiere to correct the problem.
Importing a growing file can take an exceedingly long time, with footage showing as Media Pending
When a growing file refreshes, it stops voiceover recording
The incorrect timecode is shown in the Timecode Panel for growing files.
Timeline playback of growing files drops audio for about 1 second each time the growing file refreshes.
QuickTime reference files for growing files fail to import.
Export
When source is 120fps, export fails if Match Sequence Settings enabled
The Advanced XDCAM Settings section in Export Settings is blank for imported XDCAM presets
In QuickTime encodes, audio exported as uncompressed stereo imports into FCP as dual mono.
When you export to 5.1 AAC with the “Import into Project” option enabled, the resulting clip fails to import, throwing
“File import failure”
Image flicker is introduced in some constant-bitrate MPEG2 encodes
When the only variable blocking smart rendering is an adjustment layer, the effect(s) thereon are ignored and the segment is smart rendered.
ProRes media encoded by Premiere causes are not compatible with certain video QC programs.
AAF export: 88.2kHz and 96kHz audio clips exported to AAF do not appear in some audio production programs.
Audio EDL gets wrong source timecode if clip is nested or part of a multicam source sequence
EDL does not give correct Source In and Out for clips with speed reversed.
EDL does not give correct source in and out on reversed clips.
OMF export fails with some multicam sequences, reporting Audio Export Failure.
Hang during OMF export when the sequence contains a 5.1 audio track/clip.
Smart rendering can introduce black and red frames
Playback
Playback of IMX 50 clip freezes after 12 seconds.
With XDCAMHD and DVCProHD footage, frames are sometimes dropped though the render bar is green.
Audio for some mp4 files plays back at double speed
When pre-roll is set to 1 frame, timecode and video of XDCAM .mxf files are out of sync
Some DNxHD do not decode properly, resulting in frames being played out of order
Performance of playback for some QuickTime is poor because they are unnecessarily falling back to QT32
Dropped frames when playing R3D clips with RocketX enabled and Playback Resolution at ¼
Audio
With Maintain Pitch enabled, no audio when playing at slower than real-time
Solo buttons in Audio Meters do not work for clips loaded into the Source Monitor
Mono and Standard track puck and tray panner routing for Ls, Rs, C and LFE channels do not adhere to ITU-R BR.1384 standard.
Occasional crash on switching a clip from mono to stereo via Modify>Audio Channels
5.1 channels are not properly mapped for some Dolby content.
5.1 clip changes to a 6 mono channel clip when “Extract Audio” or “Edit in Adobe Audition>Clip” is performed on a project item or track item.
Changes to Frame Rate via Interpret Footage are sometimes not applied to saved for all audio streams, causing most audio channels to be out of sync after closing/reloading project.
Constant Power audio transitions introduce buzz if either track item has zero channels (generally limited to multicam clips)
Crash on applying changes in Modify Audio Channels dialog [Mac Only]
Project Panel
Sorting by Duration is broken if the column has been moved during the current session
If the Project panel is filtered via Rapid Find when a bin is created, the edit control for naming the new bin does not become active automatically, and it cannot be activated manually until Rapid Find is cleared.
Project items cannot be deleted or renamed if the list view is scrolled to the right.
Project panel does not autoscroll to the left when a column is dragged to the right side of the Name column
When a timecode value is typed in the Video Out control for a clip in the Project panel, the value gets reduced by 2 frames upon committing the change
Subclip
When a soft subclip with only an Out Point set is edited into a sequence, the Subclip Start is ignored; the resulting track item extends all the way to Media Start.
The Media Start/End and Subclip Start/End times for subclips from a merged clip are incorrect
Editing/Timeline
3-Point edit: If the source is a sequence and only an Out Point is set for the source, the wrong segment gets inserted when KEM Roll is set to Insert as Individual Clips
Keyboard trim commands do not affect clips on targeted tracks that are outside of visible area of in the Timeline
Switching between sequences can turn the render bar red.
Frame Hold option doesn't generate the freeze frame when speed change is in effect
In the Timeline, the FX badge gets hidden when the clip is not wide enough to show the full clip name.
If the Left/Right Balance control is displayed in Timeline header, the balance will change if the mouse strays over the Header region during click-and-drag operations in the Timeline (such as trimming out)
'Select In to Out' selects clips on locked tracks.
Multicam
If time-remapping is used on a Multicam Source Sequence, the Program Monitor's multicam view continues to play at 100%; if source sequence was slowed, the Composite view goes black after the original end point.
When a multicam source sequence has been slowed down via speed change or time remapping, the extended of the clip goes black—no video
If the audio in a multicam sequence is selected when it is flattened, the audio is sometimes deleted.
Disabled multicam source clips are sometimes rendered to the composite output
The camera can be changed for a multicam clip on a locked track.
The overlay displays timecode in audio time units for part of a multicam sequence if the source clips are stereo and the MC sequence is mapped to mono
If a nested multicam sequence's duration has been increased via Time Remapping, then upon reaching the original end point during an editing pass, the composite view restarts from beginning
Flattening
If a multicam sequence’s audio is 5.1 or adaptive, then flattening deletes the audio.
Crash on flattening multicam clip with keyframed scale when using a camera angle that does not start at time zero.
Flattening multicam can remove some audio clips from the sequence.
Flattening a multicam sequence with reverse speed applied results in incorrect frames being used
Effects
AE Text Template] When text fields are active for editing, they’re not being visually highlighted
Adding mask points very close to each can result in the ordering of the points being incorrect
Incorrect scaling of 1920x1080 adjustment layers in 720 sequences
Unexpected behavior with Cross Dissolves between Adjustments Layers.
Applying both Echo & Levels effects to an adjustment layer causes video playback to freeze
Crash on rendering previews for a Lumetri filter in Software-Only mode.
Crash on deleting a clip from a sequence after pasting an effect mask to the clip.

Lots to be excited about. BUT...Just updated to 8.1 on one of my computers to test it out...
Sadly, the following issue is NOT fixed for me. Is it with new projects only? I haven't started a new project on 8.1 I've only opened an old project but the issue that I'm referring to which involves also a delay/freeze of anywhere from a few seconds to a MINUTE while the render bar goes from yellow to red and then back to yellow is still there. Boo.
On the list above...
Switching between sequences can turn the render bar red.
This issue is incredibly easy to replicate. I really do hope it gets fixed. Here are the steps:
1) Create two sequences with multiple short clips (the more clips the better)
2) Make sure GPU acceleration is enabled.
3) Add warp stabilizer to the clips in both sequences. Again, the more clips the longer the delay/freeze will be as the render bar goes from YELLOW to RED and then eventually back to YELLOW again.
4) Hit SAVE.
5) Now, toggle between sequences. You'll hit a short delay with a few clips stabilized and a LONG delay with lots stabilized. In my case this delay is around a full minute. The render bar will go from YELLOW to RED and then back to yellow...eventually.
6) Toggle back to the original sequence and the delay occurs again.
7) Once you've toggled between sequences and have gone through this delay, that's it, there is no longer a delay...UNTIL...(and here's the big kicker)...until the project is SAVED again. After that the issue returns when you toggle between sequences. Both saving manually and AUTOSAVING cause this issue. No way around it except not editing with GPU acceleration.
Not sure what the issue is...caching issue when saving maybe? Either way, it stinks and it's still there in 8.1. Big bummer.
Again, lots to be excited about with this release but I really was hopefully this specific issue was resolved.
Sigh.

Not able to create a new Flex project in Eclipse

I am trying to use Flex Builder 3 eclipse plug-in for
development. But while creating a new Flex project in eclipse, I'm
getting the following error:
Template template.jst.web has not bee defined.
I am using Eclipse 3.3, and have installed the latest WTP
updates. Can someone point out what I'm missing here?
Thanks!

Hi clsung,
Do you get this error on every Flex Project you are trying to
create or just on Java/J2EE projects? Flex Builder beta doesn't
support WTP 2.0 but this shouldn't affect the other kind of
projects.

Can I convert Twitter time Text to Project Siena's Date Value ?

Can I convert Twitter time Text to Project Siena's Date Value ?
I want to show localtime of Twitter created_at.
Twitter time text = ThisItem!created_at , ex: Tue Jul 15 17:19:00 +0000 2014
I want to show 2014/07/16 02:19 by Japan localtime.
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata

Siena uses JavaScript to parse date/times, via the TimeValue function. A good specification regarding what is acceptable can be found here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse
The example above is truly bizarre: I thought I had seen it all. You will need to turn that form into one of those listed on the above site, using string functions to chop it up and reassemble it into a saner form.

URGENT: Can't publish app after November update - Project Siena

Hi,
I have several apps that I want to publish, but am unsuccessful.
After update in November came out my Siena refused to publish so I reinstalled it from the App Store just now. Even though I did this, in the new version, the same message keeps appearing.
Why can't I publish?
This is pretty urgent, as I need to present the apps in 24 hours to our customer. My ass is on the line...
Any help appreciated - BIG THANKS
Peter

Peter,
I'm not sure if you're working with a company issued device that may have restrictions which are causing you problems (we've seen this in the forums for previous versions) and considering you have a short turn-around, have you tried installing Project Siena
on another PC?
Another route would be to set up a virtual machine and install Siena. Microsoft offers 90 day virtual machines in various platforms that may help in getting things set up quicker:
