Where should I tell PE 12 to put its working copies on my Mac

When I initially set up PE on my Mac, I set the following for the working directories:
Capture Video : Same as Project
Capture Audio : Same as Project
Video Previews: Same as Project
Audio Previews: Same as Project
Media Cache: Custom
Disc Encoding: Same as Project
Actually…I don’t remember setting Media Cache differently, so maybe it is the default.
Anyway, this all seemed reasonable so I could tell how much was in each project and when I was done with  the project, make sure everything got cleaned out.  This worked pretty well since I manually move the media source files off to an external drive and if I need to work on the project again, bring them back to the same location.  The project files are all under one set of directories and the media source files are all under a different set.  Project directory stays small and grows slowly (as long as I make sure intermediate files are deleted), media directory expands and contracts in big increments based on what I manually do to bring media files into the SSD on my Mac or move off to slower NAS disks.
Then I turned on Time Machine on my Mac.  I backup to an external USB 3.0 drive I periodically connect to my Mac (every couple of days).  I keep it disconnected and in a fireproof box for safety. I looked on my Mac after a couple of days of not doing backups and was short 70 GB on my drive.  Finder said I was using 226 GB out of 499 GB while adding up the directories only got me to 155 GB.  Did some searches on Mac support and found out that Time Machine keeps local copies on my Mac (one an hour, then one a day).  Also, it appears there is no way to disable the local copies or limit how much disk it uses.  I know all the Mac guys will say to “just let it be, it manages it for you”.  But since I want to be moving content on and off the SSD, that is not what I want.  But that is how it is.
That brings me back to the PE working directories.  When I set up Time Machine, I excluded the large media folders when I set up Time Machine since I knew I was going to be moving stuff in and out of there.  Also I only read these files and have them already backed up elsewhere.  However, I did have it back up the directory structure where my PE project files since there is the bulk of my work.  I think that the Mac is backing up all the working files PE creates and deletes. 
My plan now is to set all the working directories that are defined as “Same as Project” to new directory that I am going to create just for the Adobe working files and then exclude it from the Time Machine backup.  I will also point Media Cache to that same directory.
My question is will it cause problems having a single location for all the projects?  I can create separate subdirectories for each of the types of files (i.e. AdobeWorkingArea/CaptureVideo, AdobeWorkingArea/CaptureAudio, etc.).   Also, is losing any of the data in these working directories an issue?  Is there one that I should keep with the project data and backed up?

You can set  your working files to be saved to wherever you want.
Although most people prefer to same them Same as Project, and save each new project in its own unique folder, just as a matter of housekeeping.

  • I was wondering if I could use Boot Camp and install Windows 7 on my black Macbook. I don't see where I can tell what year it is from in the about this mac option either...? Please help. I am afraid that my mac is considered vintage now :(

    I read somewhere earlier that if my macbook is vintage, then I can't install windows/bootcamp. Maybe this is too big a venture for me to undertake anyway, but just in case I wanted to get a little help before I dig too deep...  I think it was late 2006 or early 2007 when I purchased my black Macbook.

    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    model 1,1 (Early 2006)

  • PUT KEY works only without C-MAC and C-DEC secure channel

    HI!
    I would like to know why the PUT KEY command to set a new key set only works if a secure channel is opend without secure messaging. My smartcard is GP 2.1.1 compatible.
    This is a problem because I'm not allowed to open a secure channel without secure messaging when the smartcard state is SECURED. I even don't know why this is not allowed. Visa Platform 2.0.1 defines this behavior but I can't find it in the GP 2.1.1 spec.
    Best regards, globalplayer.

    Are you saying that the PUT-KEY command works only in the card life cycle state SECURED?
    I can show you that for JCOP it also works in OP_READY, security level '00' --> authentication only, no secure messaging expected:
    - /terminal "winscard:4|OMNIKEY CardMan 5x21 0"
    --Opening terminal
    /card -a a000000003000000 -c com.ibm.jc.CardManagerresetCard with timeout: 0 (ms)

  • Where should I put the sevlet

    I just started to work with Tomcat and I compiled the helloWorld sevlet.
    It's said from a book that the sevlet should be placed in serlver_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes, however there isn't a "classes" folder in my WEB-INF folder. So I put the helloWorld sevlet in the WEB-INF folder.
    Then I type http://localhost:8080/servlet/helloworld in my browser, I get a message from the sever said "The requested resource (/servlet/HelloWorld) is not available".
    Could anybody tell me how can solve this prolbem, where should I put the sevelt?

    have ones more a look to your book - especially to information about the configuration file "web.xml" which also should be placed in the WEB-INF folder. This file defines which servlets should be found by the server and which request-URL should be mapped to this servlet.
    for examples concerning the web.xml file see those already defined in your server. copy one and edit it for your needs. if you really want to understand what else might be configured using web.xml see the DTD for this file - it's pretty good documented!
    hope it helps :)

  • Where should I put trustedprincipal.conf in

    Hi experts,
    We have BOE XI 3.1 in our server.
    We configured trusted authentication in CMC of our server machine, and created a trustedprincipal.conf in D:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 of my client machine. I created a jsp file to access bo reports.
    I can not approach http://bfphp:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp, just get alert after running the jsp file.
    However, we put trustedprincipal.conf in our server machine and remove the file from my client machine, I can approach openDocument.jsp after accessing the jsp file.
    Official document says trustedprincipal.conf should be put in client, but we tried it, logon fails. When I put it in server, logon succeeds.
    My question is, if trustedprincipal.conf is put in server, can anyone who knows a user of BO system access to bo system via the jsp file. So how can I control authentication of client who access to BO system, and where should I put trustedprincipal.conf in?

    HI,
    this sounds like a general BusinessObjects Enterprise configuration topic. this forum here is for the Integration Kit for SAP.

  • Where should i put the DEFAULT&SMARTBAR

    Hello,
    where should i put the DEFAULT&SMARTBAR ? and the main Menu ?
    in order to be shown in each form..
    in using Forms 6i.
    Regards,
    Abdetu..

    Hello Gerd,
    Thanks for reply..
    put such things into *a reference form* what is meant by a reference form do u mean the main form?
    Create a property class (PC) for your FORM-MODULE-properties,
    put this PC into the reference form.
    Create there an object group (OG), put the PC into the OG and the inherit the OG to your local form.
    Automatically you have then the PC inherited too.i did all what u mentioned..
    Bbut the problem is that the DEFAULT&SMARTBAR
    can't be seen in allllllllllll my forms in the main menu inspite of i put it into the form module property ->in the intial menu property.

  • For WebLogic 5.1, where should I put my class files for my JavaBeans?

    With JBuilder4, I have built an application with JSP and a few Java Beans (Those JavaBeans are instantiated in those JSP files). There are no EJBs. The package name is called 'onlinetrade'. I have tested the application on JBuilder's web server, it works pretty well.
    Now I am moving this application to WegLogic 5.1. I have encountered a problem with WebLogic 5.1
    and do not know where I should place my JavaBean class files --
    Originally, the JSP files for my application are in package path-- ..onlinetrade\jsp
    and the class files for my beans are in the package path -- ..onlinetrade\jsp\bean\*.class
    Now, with WebLogic 5.1,
    1) I have put my JSP files in
    C:\weblogic\myserver\public_html\onlinetrade\jsp
    2) I have created subdirectory and put my bean class files in
    C:\weblogic\myserver\classfiles\onlinetrade\jsp\bean
    When I started weblogic and the first page - login.jsp page can be up and accessed. But when I login and forward to another JSP page called 'controller.jsp', where a bean is instantiated, I got the following error
    Compilation of 'C:\weblogic\myserver\classfiles\jsp_servlet\_onlinetrade\_jsp\__controller.java' failed:
    C:\weblogic\myserver\classfiles\jsp_servlet\_onlinetrade\_jsp\__controller.java:210: cannot access jsp_servlet._onlinetrade._jsp.registerBean
    probably occurred due to an error in /onlinetrade/jsp/controller.jsp line 53:
    registerBean registerBeanInstance = new registerBean();
    I know the javac is working, and a java file is created upon the JSP page, but the problem is -- the bean class files cannot be found!!!
    Where should I create the package path and put my bean class file so that my JSP pages can pick them up?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

  • Where should I put WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE clause?

    Hi all,
    this is my situation:
    I have 2 compiled packages and one compiled procedure which uses the 2 packages. I want to start the procedure with sql*plus.
    To do this, I wrote a script and start the script from sql*plus:
    SQL> @start_proc.sqlThe start_proc.sql script looks like this:
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
    SET ECHO OFF
    SET TERMOUT OFF
    WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE
    SPOOL /home/scott/proc_out.txt
    BEGIN
      SCHEMA1.TEST_PR;
      COMMIT;
    END;
    SPOOL OFFThe question is, where should i put the statement WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE ?
    In the current position, the procedure does not start at all. If I remove the statement completely, then I get error on the first record and the procedure does not go on with the rest of the records...

    Thanks for your follow-up, Frank.
    The bigger picture (imo, hence the "-ism") is still:
    When it comes down to error-handling, the world suddenly gets very complicated and turns into all shades of grey, for many years.
    (But actually it should be simple: quit when unexpected things happen)
    The Developer has done his/her best, based on inputs
    The DBA has done his/her best, based on inputs
    The Architect/Designer has done his/her best, based on inputs
    The Manager has done his/her best, based on inputs
    The Client/CST has done his/her best, based on being client/CST
    Funny thing is: whenever I mail/call CST asking for additional input, usually things make sense...
    I dare say: when things go wrong, let them go wrong.
    Propagate the message to another human, who probably didn't think of that/expected it to happen.

  • Where should I put my code?

    Where should I put my code, on the buttons and other items in question, or in a separate Layer, referencing the items I need...?
    Background :
    I'm REALLY new to Flash with Adobe.  I've used SwishMax a little in the past, but nothing of recent.
    At work there's a project where I'm getting to use FlashPro CS6 and I've run into an odd issue with code to move forwards, backwards, and back to the beggining on 3 different buttons.
    It's in a layer called Actions, and on frame 1 - And remember... uber newbie here folks, so forgive any glaring issues in my code that most people would see quickly...
    //NEXT BUTTON
    NEXT_BUT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, nb_mouseDownHandler);
    function nb_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
              this.nextFrame();
    //MAIN MENU BUTTON
    MAINMEN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mm_mouseDownHandler);
    function mm_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
              gotoAndStop(1, "Scene 1");
    //BACK BUTTON
    BACK_BUT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, bb_mouseDownHandler);
    function bb_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
         this.prevFrame();
    The code for the first two work's exactly as I need, the code for the back button, initially it only appeared on from the second frame onwards, but during debugging I've popped it on all pages.  On the first frame, it takes you back to a black page with nothing on it, on all others it does absolutely nothing...
    Another question as I've written above, should my code be in a separate layer regerencing the items it needs to affect, or... as a colleague told me in a ridiculously over the top brimming with distaste, create layers for each item, or groups of items and place the code in there...  which to me, see's odd...
    Thanks once again in advance, and I'm sorry to post such a newbie question, but the internet gives mixed anwers, not specific to my situation.
    Tim.

    In AS3 you cannot put code on buttons and other items like you could with AS1 and AS2.  Beyond that, your choices are to place code in the timeline frame(s) or in separate actionscript files.  While there are a number of recommended best practices, what usually works best is whatever you are able to understand and work with at the time.  While there are benefits to having all code located in one place (a frame or a file) since it makes finding it much easier, when you are creating a timeline-based design, that is not always a possible/practical approach.
    Over time you will gain experience with the different approaches and can make the choice based on that experience. 

  • Where should I put JDBC driver for MySQL

    I am trying to connect MySQL with JDBC 2.0 API. I have downloaded the driver file mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin. Where should I put this driver to make it run ?
    According to mysql.org, it says "Put mysql.jar in your classpath". I am confuse by classpath. Is it same as the path ? or is another system variable.
    thanks for clear my doubt. ^_^

    it is a different variable, but also in the same file (autoexec.bat) as path;
    set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;C:\JDK1.3.0_02\bin;c:\path\mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin
