Where to put stuff

To keep things tidy after finishing a project, I want to store everything related to the project in one folder and leave that folder on a big ext HD. To facilitate that, how about if I put the .fcp file in the Final Cut Documents folder while the project is in work and put everything else in a meaningfully named folder on an ext HD. "Everything" includes Thumbnail Cache, Waveform Cache, Capture Scratch, Render Files, and anything else related to the project. Then, when I finish, I can move the .fcp to the project folder and the folder can be stored wherever. If I want to get back into the project, I can move the .fcp to the Final Cut Document folder and begin. The media links may be broken but the media can be linked again.

You need to keep your +FCE project file+ and all +source media files+ (video clips, stills, audio files) that are used in the project. It's also a good idea to keep at least the most recent 2-3 +project backup files+ that are located in your +Autosave Vault+ folder.
FCE project files are normally in your +Final Cut Express Documents+ folder. Video clips that you capture from your camcorder are normally in your +Capture Scratch+ folder. Other media files are wherever you save(d) them on your HD.
When finished with a project, I copy those files to a single folder on one of my external HD's.
There is no need to keep +-and you should not bother keeping-+ any render or cache files. Once you move/copy them anywhere they are not likely to be usable anymore ... and they often take up a lot of disk space. They can always be recreated by re-rendering, so there is no need to keep them.

Architecture question...where to put the code

Newbie here, so please be gentle and explicit (no detail is
too much to give or insulting to me).
I'm hoping one of you architecture/design gurus can help me
with this. I am trying to use good principals of design and not
have code scattered all over the place and also use OO as much as
possible. Therefore I would appreciate very much some advice on
best practices/good design for the following situation.
On my main timeline I have a frame where I instantiate all my
objects. These objects refer to movieClips and textFields etc. that
are on a content frame on that timeline. I have all the
instantiation code in a function called initialize() which I call
from the content frame. All this works just fine. One of the
objects on the content frame is a movieClip which I allow the user
to go forward and backward in using some navigation controls.
Again, the object that manages all that is instantiated on the main
timeline in the initialize() function and works fine too. So here's
my question. I would like to add some interactive objects on some
of the frames of the movieClip I allow the user to navigate forward
and backward in (lets call it NavClip) . For example on frame 1 I
might have a button, on frame 2 and 3 nothing, on frame 4 maybe a
clip I allow the user to drag around etc. So I thought I would add
a layer to NavClip where I will have key frames and put the various
interactive assets on the appropriate key frames. So now I don't
know where to put the code that instantiates these objects (i.e.
the objects that know how to deal with the events and such for each
of these interactive assets). I tried putting the code on my main
timeline, but realized that I can't address the interactive assets
until the NavClip is on the frame that holds the particular asset.
I'm trying not to sprinkle code all over the place, so what do I
do? I thought I might be able to address the assets by just
providing a name for the asset and not a reference to the asset
itself, and then address the asset that way (i.e.
NavClip["interactive_mc"] instead of NavClip.interactive_mc), but
then I thought that's not good since I think there is no type
checking when you use the NavClip["interactive_mc"] form.
I hope I'm not being too dim a bulb on this and have missed
something really obvious. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
me use a best practice.

1. First of all, the code should be:
var myDraggable:Draggable=new Draggable(myClip_mc);
myDraggable.initDrag();
Where initDrag() is defined in the Draggable class. When you
start coding functions on the timeline... that's asking for
problems.
>>Do I wind up with another object each time this
function is called
Well, no, but. That would totally depend on the code in the
(Draggable) class. Let's say you would have a private static var
counter (private static, so a class property instead of an instance
property) and you would increment that counter using a
setInterval(). The second time you enter the frame and create a new
Draggable object... the counter starts at the last value of the
'old' object. So, you don't get another object with your function
literal but you still end up with a faulty program. And the same
goes for listener objects that are not removed, tweens that are
running and so on.
The destroy() method in a custom class (=object, I can't
stress that enough...) needs to do the cleanup, removing anything
you don't need anymore.
2. if myDraggable != undefined
You shouldn't be using that, period. If you don't need the
asset anymore, delete it using the destroy() method. Again, if you
want to make sure only one instance of a custom object is alive,
use the Singleton design pattern. To elaborate on inheritance:
define the Draggable class (class Draggable extends MovieClip) and
connect it to the myClip_mc using the linkage identifier in the
library). In the Draggable class you can define a function unOnLoad
(an event fired when myClip_mc is removed using
myClip_mc.removeMovieClip()...) and do the cleanup there.
3. A destroy() method performs a cleanup of any assets we
don't need anymore to make sure we don't end up with all kinds of
stuff hanging around in the memory. When you extend the MovieClip
Class you can (additionally) use the onUnLoad event. And with the
code you posted, no it wouldn't delete the myClip_mc unless you
program it to do so.

Where to put ConCurrManag, Report and Forms

Hi,
Are there any "rule of tumb" on the issue of where to put Concurrent Manager, forms server and report server?
I know this is pretty much a question of number of users, batch-load and stuff like that, but would still like to hear some comments on this issue.
Best regards

If you want to export to a CSV file, you'll need to create objects instead. Here's an example that uses the standard AD module:
Get-ADGroup -Filter * | ForEach {
$groupName = $_.Name
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity $_.DistinguishedName -Recursive | ForEach {
$props = @{
GroupName = $groupName
Username = $_.SamAccountName
Name = $_.Name
New-Object PsObject -Property $props
} | Select GroupName,Username,Name | Sort GroupName,Username | Export-Csv .\GroupInfo.csv -NoTypeInformation

Columns in Finder windows won't stay where I put them!

WHen I open a finder window, put in LIST VIEW, then re-size my columns - everything is good now I can do stuff. BUT WAIT! I do one thing: dragging one folder and nesting it into another and BAM! The columns re-size back to the default. This is a deal-killer for me. I cannot work like this! If there is no fix, SOrry, but goodbye apple and hello Windows.

Open window is a folder named "Photos".
It contains many sub folders: Backyard photos, front yard photos, vacation photos, etc.
It also contains a ton of image files - that I'm sorting into their respective folders.
When I drag an image file titled "Backyard sunny" into the sub-folder "Backyard photos"... the columns all snap back to their default settings. FORCING ME TO RESIZE THEM.... then I drag another photo into another folder and the same thing happens again. THIS IS A SHUTDOWN OF MY USING MAC OS. I either need to return to Mavericks, or this needs to be fixed somehow. This never happened before, and it won't happen in the future, not on my desktop. I'd hate to start asking my wife to start teaching me windows. I've been a mac person my whole computing life (since the early 1990's) and never have I run into a show-stopper like this.
My computer is NON-FUNCTIONAL if the columns won't stay where I put them!

How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them!

How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them! Every morning I boot up and all my desktop items have been moved. How can I stop this?
By the way - Lion is the worst 'upgrade' ever.

Hello again:
I've been to 'view' - and all I can see are the same options as before. Nothing which says the equivalent of 'stop Lion tidying my desktop alphabetically every time I boot up' - alas.
Hmmm. Try something:
Trash a preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restart. Then go to the view option while in Finder. There should be a "show view options." Select that and sort by "none."
FWIW, I have had no discernable change in speed under OS X 10.7, but that is just my system. I only use Adobe's free stuff. Have you checked with Adobe to see if there are updates available? I rarely use text edit so I have no benchmark. I don't like the missing save as either

I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

Hey guys,
I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

My computer screen keeps going blank and then going back to the box where I put my password in to start my comp. Why is this happening?

My computer (Macbook) was working fine this am. I left it for an hour and then came back and the screen was black (always does that as the screensaver hardly ever works). I moved the mouse to wake it up and everything was normal. I went to adjust the volume and the screen went blank and the main page with the box where I put my password in when I first start my comp appeared. I put my password in and everything was normal again. I opened a window in Safari and before it loaded completely the same thing happened, the screen went blank and went back to the password box. Does anyone know why this is happening? I don't have an external hard drive or any blank flash drives so I can't back anything up right now and am afraid I'm going to lose everything. Thank you

Sounds like hardware failure, called boot loop. Call Apple and or go on apple.com and make Genius Bar appointment to have your iphone reviewed by a Tech. Provided you iphone shows no physical or liquid damage they will take care of you, or if you have Apple Care Plus

I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it.

I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it. All of the files are going into the same zip file but I want them visually in the space that I put them and not at the bottom of the snap to grid folder location they are looking like. I am trying to drag and drop files in groups so that I can group them for now, but image files always do their own "sort by" when I drag them from my web pages. Links don't do it though. I tried resetting the folder, and deleting the DS files. No luck.

Where to put javascript code?

Hello,
I am trying to set some columns in a list as "read-only" and is using the following code:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function SetReadOnly()
var elements=document.getElementById(’4_ctl00_ctl00_TextField’);
elements.readOnly=true;
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push(“SetReadOnly()”);
</script>
But I am not sure where to put the code in. Should I put it in the space in Content Editor Web Part,
or through a link to a txt file, or in "Edit HTML"? I've tried them but none works.
Thanks a lot!
Patrick

You can try this:
1) Open your Sharepoint List. Go to List edit view.
2) On right side of Ribbon you will find "Form Web Parts" option as shown in figure.
3) Choose your List form which you want to edit.
4) Now you can add web part in new window.
5) Add Content Editor Web part.
6) In content editor web part add the path of your "txt" file in which you have written your script, for eg.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function SetReadOnly()
var elements=document.getElementById('4_ctl00_ctl00_TextField');
elements.readOnly=true;
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("SetReadOnly()");
</script>
</body>
</html>
I haven't tried this method so I am not sure but hope it works...:D

This is less a question and more of a suggestion and I am not sure where to put it..... I would like an update that would allow you to have a tone for each individual email account

I am not sure where to put this but I would like individual tones for all my email accounts

Wonderful suggestion.

Why are many of my toolbar bookmarks suddenly missing, & why can't I designate where to put bookmarks now? Star won't accept double-clicks anymore.

All of a sudden yesterday I can no longer click the star twice to tell it where to put the bookmark, and even when I click it once it doesn't save the bookmark anywhere. Also many of my toolbar bookmarks are now suddenly missing. I've tried to restore bookmarks and it says it's unable to perform that function. Help!

--commit; [Can I put this 'commit' here? - Jenny]
EXIT when f_viewed%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
commit;
Thanks,

Bulk collect normally used with large data sets. If you have less dataset such as 1000-2000 records then you canot get such a performance improvent using bulk collect.(Please see oracle documents for this)
When you update records Oracle acquire exclusive lock for that. So if you use commit inside the loop then it will process number of records defined by limit parameter at ones and then commit those changes.
That will release all locks acquired by Oracle and also teh memory used to keep those uncommited transactions.
If you use commit outside the loop,
Just assume that you insert 100,000 records, all those records will store in oracle memory and it will affect all other users performance as well.
Further more if you update 100,000 records then it will hold exclusive lock for all 100,000 records addtion to the usage of the oracle memory.
I am using this for telco application which we process over 30 million complex records (one row has 234 columns).
When we work with large data sets we do not depends with the oracle basic rollback function. because when you keep records without commit itb uses oracle memory and badly slowdown all other processes.Hi mc****,
What a load of dangerous and inaccurate rubbish to be telling a new Oracle developer. Commit processing should be driven by the logical unit of a transaction. This should hold true whether that transaction involves a few rows or millions. If, and only if, the transaction is so large that it affects the size constraints of the database resources, in particular, rollback or redo space, then you can consider breaking that transaction up to smaller transactions.
Why is frequent committing undesirable I hear you ask?
First of all it is hugely wasteful of rollback or redo space. This is because while the database is capable of locking at a row level, redo is written at a block level, which means that if you update, delete or insert a million rows and commit after each individual statement, then that is a million blocks that need to go into redo. As many of these rows will be in the same block, if you instead do these as one transaction, then the same block in redo can be transacted upon, making the operation more efficient. True, locks will be held for longer, but if this is new data being done in batches then users will rarely be inconvenienced. If locking is a problem then I would suggest that you should be looking at how you are doing your processing.
Secondly, committing brings into play one of the major serialization points in the database, log sync. When a transaction is committed, the log buffer needs to be written to disc. This occurs serially for multiple commits. Each commit has to wait until the commit before has completed. This becomes even more of a bottleneck if you are using Data Guard in SYNC mode, as the commit cycle does not complete until the remote log is notified as written.
This then brings us two rules of thumb that will always lead a developer in the right direction.
1. Commit as infrequently as possible, usually at the logical unit of a transaction
2. When building transactions, first of all seek to do it using straight SQL (CTAS, insert select, update where etc). If this can't be easily achieved, then use PL/SQL bulk operations.

JSP--where to put my client keystore?

I have my webservice working. I also have my java client working. Now i'm trying
to create a web client using JSP to access the web service. This will need the
message-based security. The java client works fine because I can specify the directory
of the keystore. But I don't know where to put the keystore in my JSP client.
Anybody has some suggestions? BTW i'm using tomcat 4.1.
many thanks.

Hi,
Here's a pointer to the doc on how to setup a keystore using WLS 8.1
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/webserv/security.html
For Tomcat, I don't know...

BTW, you might take a quick look at this, it may be of some value.
