XMP and Python (also DLL compilation help needed)

Has anyone tried using the XMP SDK through Python? I know python fairly well, but not C++. I would like to code in python if possible.
From what I have gathered I have a few options:
1. Use Python's built-in 'ctypes' methods (not sure if this will only work with C as opposed to C++)
2. Use Boost
3. Use Sip
Does anyone have any experience with any of these (or any other solutions)?
The current route that I am experimenting with is using ctypes. For this to work I will need to compile the XMPCore and the XMPFiles projects into .dll's (as opposed to the default .libs). I have seen quite a few posts on this forum asking how to go about doing this, but have found no answers. I have been able to succesfully compile a .dll for XMPCore but not for XMPFiles. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and cannot figure out how to compile XMPFiles without producing errors such as:
2>WXMPFiles.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl XMP_EnterCriticalRegion(struct _RTL_CRITICAL_SECTION &)" (?XMP_EnterCriticalRegion@@YAXAAU_RTL_CRITICAL_SECTION@@@Z) referenced in function "public: __thiscall XMPFiles_AutoMutex::XMPFiles_AutoMutex(void)" (??0XMPFiles_AutoMutex@@QAE@XZ)
2>TIFF_Handler.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall TXMPMeta<class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > >::~TXMPMeta<class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > >(void)" (??1?$TXMPMeta@V?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@@@UAE@XZ)
These are the steps that I have taked:
1. Download and add the Quicktime SDK, Expat XML Parser, and Zlib libraries to the proper folder paths
2. Open the provided XMPToolkit.sln in VS8
2. Build > Build Solution. Produces two static libraries, XMPCoreStaticDebug.lib and XMPFilesStaticDebug.lib. (This works! ... but I want dll's)
3. Change the properties of the XMPCore and XMPFiles projects:
Configuration Properties -> General-> Configuration Type: Dynamic Library (dll)
4. Clean Solution; Build Solution
This results in many errors. Most of which are like the two listed above.
Anybody have any advice /input in regards to using python with the XMP SDK and/or compiling these two libraries into .dll's ?
Thanks for any help!!!

I you have installed the java runtime engine then put the j3D libraries in that drectory tree in the jre\lib\ext directory, and .dll`s in the bin directory. I you have not installed the jre then do so. That will create the java.library.path you need. to run java programs. Each compiler has its own procedures for running an app from the IDE, check your docs if that`s what you are doing.

How do I get a more modern look and feel for a compiled help file

I gather from reading various posts that there is no easy way
to generate a .chm file with a more modern look and feel (am I
right about this?). Are there no plug-ins available from Adobe that
will enable us to generate a help file that looks more modern?
I hesitate to move to flash help or something like that
because, of course, then the developers would have to hookup the
hundreds of dialog boxes we have in our product to the new files. I
also think that having one file is way easier to manage in terms of
getting updated help to the customers. What are online Help
developers generally delivering for apps where users are not
connected to the Internet except perhaps periodically while using
the software? I'm a writer (not a developer) so need soemthing that
is easy to implement :-)
Thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.

To add to the advice already offered, you can apply a skin to
a CHM file which allows you to customise it. However as with most
things there are issues with this approach. You can read about this
by downloading Rick Stone's excellent
tips
'n tricks file. Just look in the index under "skins". Something
else you may want to look at is the beta of Adobe's
AIR.

IWeb 09 and Go Daddy...Help Needed Please!

I have read many of the posts on this question and still don't know the answer:
Is it possible to use iWeb 09 and use the built-in FTP to upload directly to my Go Daddy site?
I've tried and keep getting a "Testing failed. The directory/path couldn't be found."
So, my question is, can someone who has successfully uploaded from iWeb 09 to Go Daddy please tell me what to enter in the FTP Server Settings of iWeb? I would like to know the following:
SERVER ADDRESS (do you just use your site name, such as www.mysitehere.net or ??)
DIRECTORY PATH (some folks say "http://" but this doesn't work for me)
Also, do we just use PROTOCOL "FTP" or another?
I am very appreciative of any help here! I basically bought iLife 09 so I could update my site directly from iWeb. In the past I used Fetch, which worked but is a bit of a rigamarole. So, if we can do it directly with iWeb 09 it would be great.
Thanks for any help here! I'm very grateful!

I just did this last night for the first time. Watch the FTP loading tutorial for iweb, it helped.
Publish to FTP
Put your site name in (what ever you want to put down)
Server address is your domainname.com (no www)
User name
password
no directory/path
FTP
Put your full website URL www.yourdomainname.com
This will get it onto your go daddy site. It will put all of the files in a folder called whatever you called your site name above. Your website will look funny but that is iWeb FTP for you. It will look like www.yourdomainname.com/www.yourdomainname.com/home.html
To fix that (I was told last night by go daddy) that I needed to log into godaddy and go to hosting on the left menue. then to manage account highlighted next to your domain name you want to manage. Then go into the folder with the site name you put in iweb and move everything in that folder to the root directory. Copy over anything in the root directory. When I did that the duplication of domain names went away and you are left with www.yourdomainname.com/home.html
If you have problems call godaddy. They can walk you through it. Only do that after you tested successfully.

Python Image processing. (Help needed)

Hi all.
I'm currently trying to learn python and have made some(small) progress into the matter.
However, I have an urgent need to extract some information from a bactch of photos for statistical purposes, namely:
- color saturation (red, green, and blue)
- mean luminance
- variance of luminance
- root mean square (RMS) contrast
- kurtosis
- skewness
- energy
Now I've searched for some program that could aid me in this when suddenly I remembered Python.
I thought I could write a little script to extract said information and save it in a file.
This is where I need the help of all you python gurus.
Need a pointer in the right direction. I'm looking into PIL. IS this the best choice? Could this give me all the info need.
To be honest, I don't even know what some of that info is (my wife needs it for here PhD thesis...)
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
P.

palobo wrote:@buttons: Thanks. I am currently looking through that reading. Statisctical info for RGB etc is great, just what I needed. However I can't seem to get info on contast and luminance. I will keep at it.
All I can tell you for sure from a very dim recollection of an undergraduate graphics course is that contrast and luminance can be derived mathematically from RGB somehow.
PIL gives you the option to do pixel by pixel comparisons, so you can certainly get the info you need... the first step would be to define it though. ;-)

Query not compiling -- help needed

Hi,
I have a query which is not compiling, I am getting the following error when running the query in my PL/SQL developer.
"ORA-01790 expression must have same datatype as coressponding expression"
my query is below:
~select "CODE","NAME","LEVELX","PARENT","TYPEX","BEGIN_DATE","END_DATE" from cdms.cd_organizations~
~where typex='R'~
~union~
~select "CODE","NAME","LEVELX","PARENT","TYPEX","BEGIN_DATE","END_DATE" from cdms.cd_organizations_hist~
~where typex='R'~
~ and code in (~
~ select code from cdms.cdorganizations_hist~
~ minus~
~ select code from cdms.cd_organizations~
~ );~
I am getting a red line where code is underlined in the query,
Thanks in advanced,
AJ
~ ~

Hi,
That's the error you would get in a MINUS operation if corresponding columns had different data types (for example, if cd_organizations_hist.code was a NUMBER, but cd_organizations.code was a VARCHAR2).
Use columns of the same type. Explicity convert data from one type to another (using TO_CHAR, for example) if necessary.
If you need more help, post a script that creates the tables and gets the same error.

Portal crashes and intermittant problems..urgent help needed.

hi!!
We have a 3-server portal installation with one j2ee dispatcher and two
j2ee servers on each server.
We are experiencing major issues with the consistency or
synchronisation between the servers and availability of portal applications.
For example the themes editor is only available on sptl1 server0, so if
you are lucky and log onto that server you can use this application.
THIS IS ONE OF MANY examples of this type of issue. How can we ensure
that the landscape is consistent? Screen shots from sptl1 showing the
themes application being available and not available.
A simple look at the filesystem reveals the following, and only the
themes editor directory and contents are on sptl1.
JSPM deployment finished successfully.
sptl1:root:/ > find / -name "com.sap.portal.themes.editor" -print
/usr/sap/PP1/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/portal/portalapps/com.sap.portal.themes.editor

WRT54G v1.1 and buffalo Linkstation problems.. help needed

Hi there,
I have a wrt45G with dhcp running and working. Connecting the linkstation out of the box has no effect. Connecting the linkstation directy to the laptop works fine. I changed the config to a fixed IP outside of the DHCP range, but withing the router's range.
Connected it to the router again, No effect, the network line shows no sign of life.
Checked the cables, changed the cables, no effect.
I have abolutely NO idea what's wrong.
Please help, I hope someone has had similar stuff and solved it.
I have software version 1.42.2 and a wrt54G v1.1
Jan

Hi.. Try to change the wireless channel to 6, 9 or 11. Also change beacon interval to 50 and fragmentation and RTS thresholds to 2304. Well you seems to have very old fimrware on your router. I believe linksys has come out with version 4.30.5. You can also try to upgrade the firmware on your router.

Macbook 2008 and connecting to Sony Bravia-help needed!

I have a macbook 2008 (early) and wanted to hook it up to watch on my sony bravia tv. I have been told to get a mini DVI to hdmi and then an hdmi cable. Is this correct and is there anyway to get sound other than purchasing another audio cable?

Ok, based on your photo, it's a bit blurry, it looks like your TV comes with a VGA + Audio input AND HDMI + Audio input, so you get to choose which one you want to use.
How to connect:
VGA + Audio (Red)
Video - A Mini-DVI - VGA adaptor, with VGA cable to TV.
Audio - Computer headphone outlet to the Audio input, using a 3.5mm male to male stereo cable. (it looks like a 3.5mm socket on the TV, confirm on site)
HDMI + Audio (Yellow)
Video - A Mini-DVI - HDMI adaptor, with HDMI cable to TV
Audio - Computer headphone outlet to the Audio IN, using a 3.5mm male to RCA male (red/white connectors) stereo cable.
No surround sound option here, as I cannot se a TOS Link input
Which is better?
Your computer puts out a digital signal via the DVI, so HDMI is probably the better option. you will get a higher resolution to the TV, better for movies. Some say the VGA option is better, if you are going to use it for text.
I mentioned earlier that you may get some audio sync issues using HDMI. That was probably more likely when I was thinking that you were going to need to use an adaptor to add the audio to the HDMI cable. As yours can be kept separate to the TV, it probably won't be as much of an issue.

Itunes update and automatic update of ipod help needed

i just upgraded to the newest version of itunes (6.4?), and i deleted some songs out of my library and it gave me a message to the effect that next those files would be removed from my ipod next time i connected it.
i know in the previous version of itunes that i had, i had shut off the option that automatically updates your ipod when you plug it in, so i tried to find that option on here and was unable to, i think it might show up after i plug in my ipod, but obviously i dont want to plug in my ipod until i know it isnt going to get erased, anyone know if i can connect my ipod safely of if i need to change something, and if i need to change something where i would find that control. thanks in advance for any help

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
If at any stage iTunes brings up a dialogue window asking whether you want to replace the songs on your iPod with the songs in iTunes, press *No*.

Thanks
IndyaRaja

I tried compling servlet, but it is raising error
that coul not find package javax.servletWhat I did not mention... you need to add those JARs in the Classpath explicitly. You will find them in %TOMCAT_HOME%\common\lib. You atleast need to add servlet-api.jar to your Classpath. :)

Need to change Tax code in po but GR and IR also completed

Hi Gurus,
I have one issue in the po, the line item "xxxxxxx" in the PO It shall be 36 instead of 39.but it is GR and IR also completed,now we need to change the Tax code,for this we need to cancel IR and GR or without cancel GR, IR also we can change Tax code,please guide me.,but i am thinking this below mentioned steps to maintain for change the Tax code.
(1) cancel IR
(2) Cancel GR for line item "xxxxxxx"
(3) Change tax code for line item "xxxxxx" from 39 into 36
(4) Re-post GR for line item "xxxxxx".
(5)Re-Post invoice for line item "xxxxxx"
These steps are required to change the Tax code in the po or not
please guide me,
Thanks for your reply.
Regards
SAP MM

Hi,
If the Tax amount is merged to the expense/revenue account as per the Tax configuration.
Then if the tax code is V1 --Tax amount is 100 Rs
The system will post that amount to material account and same will be GR/IR.
When you do the MIRO the GR/IR will match & vendor account will update.
If the Tax amount is posted to seperate a/c then tax amount will not merge to material account so at GR tax amount has no reflection but in MIRO system will post the tax to seperate G/L account and vendor is updated with Material Price + Tax amount, GR/IR will be same as MIGO .
hope you understand.
