What to do with files?

Ever since I got my MBP I've placed all my photos in the Pictures folder of the finder. I then open them up with iPhoto. In an effort to clean up my hard drive I ran the Gemini app to find duplicates and found out I have the same pictures twice. Would it be a good idea to delete all the files under the picture folder and just keep the iPhoto ones?

Would it be a good idea to delete all the files under the picture folder and just keep the iPhoto ones?
I would save the raw images to an external HD and then delete them. Though iPhoto saves original images in its library (and subsequent modifications as seperate images) by default, one has to export them in order for them to remain universally compatible.
It is easy for an iPhoto library to get corrupted. I periodically export all my iPhoto images (every ~3mo) to an external HD as jpegs. Think of it as the 'archive' function of email.

  • What's problem with File Panel?

    Hi All!
    I'm web designer, while developing my site, my work is
    breaking a problem with File management of DMX.
    First, I develop site in DMX8 (ASP + SQL), then when I open
    that site in DMXCS3 - Note: all file still in only one Folder in
    HDD on (D\: Drive), (example: photo-editor.asp), this file content
    is last time modify. And when I open again this file in DMX8 - the
    file content of this file (photo-editor.asp) not same with new
    version in DMXCS3. It is old version!.
    I don't understand why that. (note: I don't check Enable
    cache in Local info in Site Definition). Please help me about this
    problem!
    Thank for All!

    Are both versions (DW8 and DWCS3) using the SAME local site?
    Look in your
    site definition in both versions of DW, and tell us what the
    path is to the
    local root folder, please.

  • What's up with file structure?

    I just upgraded to a new Mac with Leopard and seem to have issues with the way the file structure setup on Leopard (opens or saves) files. In Tiger, if I wanted to open a file from a program (Illustrator) it would show the last folder I opened, but I could scroll left to see all folders listed and folders in other folders all the way back to the hard drive. In Leopard, it only shows the last folder and if I want to go back, I need to click the drop down and go back and then try and remember where the folder within a folder is. I like seeing all folders all the way back that gives the option to click on a folder where ever. Is there a way to set Leopards file structure like Tigers. Seems to be one more thing the Apple has done that I don't like. It causes more clicks and slows the process down.
    Mark

    i'm not sure exactly what you mean?
    Can I not post images in the forum? If I could I would show the difference, but I will try and explain.
    In both Leopard and Tiger I see the three options for view. I use column view on each. In Tiger I can see the column of the folder I last opened and next to it is a column that the last folder is in along with all the other folders in that column and so on all the way back to the root hard drive with a scroll left and right to move.
    In Leopard, it only shows a column for the last folder and next to it there is only the side bar with the Devices (root hard drives), Shared, Places and so on. I can always start over and if I am five folders over I will need to click five times to get to the location or three depending where I want to go. I can also click the drop down menu and go to the third folder back but can't see what's in it until I click it.
    My setup in like this basically: Macintosh HD/business/customers (40 + folders)/dates (dates on design work in each customer folder)/revisions (edits of the designs)
    So if I have worked on a file in Macintosh HD/business/customers (aaa)/dates (2/11/09)/revisions (edit3.ai) and want to open file in folder customer (fff), I do not see a column with customers listed where I can just look three columns back and click on customer (fff) to open that folder. In Tiger I can see all folders under each column..../business/customers/dates and so on.
    I know it's not that big a deal, but I liked it better the old way. Can I still have this option?

  • I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

    How to deal with file dir? what format of dir should be?

    Hi Kamlesh,
    Thanks for your response.
    Actually, In the "Process External Bank Statement" window, i see that there are few entries which is for the previous year and which has not been reconciled. I have never worked practically on BRS and hence, i am scared to make any changes in the clients database without being confident on what i am doing. I need to reconcile for one of their Bank a/c for the month of April '08. I have the copy of the statements for the month ending 31st Mar 08 and 30th Apr 08. The closing balances are as below:
    31/03/08 - 2300000.00
    30/04/08 - 3100000.00
    Now my OB for Bank a/c for April '08 in SAP is 2300000.00 Dr.
    When i go to External Bank Reconciliation - Selection Criteria Screen (Manual Reconciliation), here are the detail that i enter:
    Last Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000 (Grayed out by the system)
    Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000 (Entered by me)
    End Date: 30/04/08 (Entered by me)
    "Reconciliation Bank Statement" Screen opens up and shows the below balances in the screen:
    Cleared Book Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000
    Statement Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000
    Difference: INR 3,800,000.00000
    As per the Bank statement, i have found all the transactions listed out here for the month of Apr '08 but, i also found that the open transactions for the previous month from April '08 have been lying in "Process External Bank Statement" window.
    Could you please help me solve my issue as to what needs to be done or could you also get me some links from where i can get few documents for processing External Bank Reconciliations?
    That will be of a great help for me. I need steps as to what needs to be done first and then the next so that i can arrive at the correct closing balance for the month April '08.
    Thanks in Advance....
    Regards,
    Kaushal

  • I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive.  Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth)  around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

  • When logging on to Hotmail, a window opens asking me "What to do with this file" for "default.aspx"

    This morning, I am unable to log in to Hotmail. The homepage appears normally, but after I enter my email address and password and click to submit them, a window pops us asking me what to do with the file "default.aspx." I have a Vista machine, and last night my computer automatically installed a ton of Microsoft updates. In fact, the update list shows that one of the updates failed to install. At the end of this message, I have pasted the details of the failed update. I have checked the Hotmail support forum, and someone else posted that the have experienced the same problem this morning. The Microsoft "expert" asked him or her to contact Mozilla for support for this issue. Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide, although I highly suspect that this is a problem on the Microsoft/Hotmail end, not yours.
    Here is the info on the failed software update from last night...

    Hotmail is rolling out a server change at their end which might be causing this problem. Mozilla has spoken to them about it and they are trying to fix it. I won't be able to provide you a time estimate by when it will be solved but hotmail/mozilla is certainly looking at this issue.
    I will let you know if get any updates!

  • Firefox repeatedly asks me what to do with PDF files, even after I tell it to use Adobe Reader to open them.

    For some reason, Firefox repeatedly asks me what to do with certain PDF files (but not all) even after I have indicated that I want it to use Adobe Reader X to open them and checked the "always use this application" box. I have gone through all of the troubleshooting steps on the Firefox support website to no avail. However, unlike what is shown in the troubleshooting section, when I go into Tools/Applications/Preferences, I do not see a listing for "Adobe Acrobat Document." Instead, there is a listing for "pdf file," which opens with "Adobe Reader"--no "(default)" or "(in Firefox)" appended.

  • What to do with js, css files

    I hope this question is appropriate for this forum because I have scratched my head for hrs. I am in the mission of finding a simple drop down menu and came across to this site http://css-tricks.com/simple-jquery-dropdowns/
    It uses minimum jquery and CSS to achieve it. Looks like it is reasonable for a novice to tackle. Codes are downloaded and unzipped ( there are css,images,js). Question is how do I even get this to run under my test application ? I would think I need to import the image files but what to do with the rest of files? they are not plugin. Could any guru give me a jump start ?
    Any help is appreciated.
    ZenG

    You should be able to import them into APEX under "Shared Components - Static Files" and "Shared Components - CSS". Then you can include the files in your page template using the following html code:
    for js files
    <script src="#APP_IMAGES#hoverIntent.js"></script>for css files
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="#APP_IMAGES#style.css" type="text/css" />After a quick glance, I don't think you'll need the image they have included.

    That's the firmware telling you it can't find the operating system it's been assigned to boot from.
    It could be because it forgot somehow, or the operating system is no longer there or readable or the hardware holding the operating system has failed.
    Hold the power button to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the option/alt key held down on the wired or built in keyboard, icons will hopefully load on the screen and if OS X appears, click the arrow to boot from it.
    Once in OS X, head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select your boot drive so it can remind the firmware.
    If there is no OS X boot volume, just recovery or Bootcamp (if Windows installed) then you need to perform more work.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive

    I'm guessing that by that you mean space for several lines, not empty paragraphs. This could be caused by any number of things, but not allowing hyphenation, or hyphantion rules that are too restictive might cause ID to be unable to break a line which would cause it to go into overset, as would possibly some combinations of Keep Options if there is more than one paragraph in the cell or if there is not enough room to fite the entire paragraph and you are just one line short with keep options requiring at least two lines be kept together at the end, for example. Applying No Break to a sting too wide for the cell would do it too.
