Xrandr panning and locked pointer

Hello
I want to use xrandr command to use the feature of my netbook, in windows called by fn+f4 - switching to bigger resolution.
In windows, it changes default (and maximum) 1024x600 to 1024x768. It doesn't look nice, but in some cases 1024x600 makes some apps unusable.
I managed to do it in a following way:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --panning 1024x768 --scale 1x1.3
but these are effects:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15841305/wrzuty/1024x768.png
mouse pointer is locked within old resolution and cairo-dock still thinks that the resolution didn't changed. nevermind cairo-dock, but I want those additional 128 pixels to be availble for my mouse pointer. how can I do that?
[jin@mephisto bin]$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 600, maximum 4096 x 4096
LVDS1 connected 1024x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 220mm x 129mm panning 1024x600+0+0

800x600 60.3 56.2

oh damn it, that thread should be in multimedia and games... i'm sorry, if any admin/mod sees it, please move it to the proper place.

Shouldn't /var/run and /var/run/lock point to absolute paths?

I have a setup with my 'var' on a separate partition that causes /var/run and /var/run/lock to point to nothing each time I upgrade the filesystem package and I wonder if this is a bug.
Mounted at /mnt/data is a luks encrypted partion where I keep my home and var as subdirectories. Two symlinks point to them from root:
# ls -al /
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Apr 21 2011 home -> /mnt/data/home
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 21 2011 var -> /mnt/data/var
Each time I upgrade the filesystems package however I end up with /var/run and /var/lock pointing to '../run' and ../run/lock', which in my case are the non-existing /mnt/data/run and /mnt/data/run/lock. I have to delete the symlinks and make them link to the absolute /run and /run/lock. Is there a reason the symlinks are relative instead of absolute?

Thanks! After using bind mounts and reinstalling the filesystems package the relative links work. Still I wonder why using bind mounts instead of symlinks is the 'correct' way. The only advantage I see is to have the ability to use mount options, which In my case I don't need.

Is there any way to lock your in and out points on a clip?

Everytime I click outside the clip, my in and out points disappear and I have to reset them. Any ideas?

No way of locking them in, but once you have your in and outs set, if you hit F it will favorite that area. Then whenever you want to go back to that clip just click the favorite icon on the clip and your in and outs will be set around the favorite section.

DRIVES, AF OPERATIONS (specifically continuous autofocus), and AF POINT SELECTIONS

I have some questions in regard to the correlation between DRIVES, AF OPERATIONS (specifically continuous autofocus), and AF POINT SELECTIONS. Because I realize that AI FOCUS AF will initially focus using the CENTER POINT then track the moving subject much like AUTOMATIC FOCUS POINT does, I imagine that if one is using AI FOCUS AF, an adequate FOCUS POINT SELECTION companion would either be CENTER or AUTOMATIC . Which is better? Also, if one should decide not to use any AF OPERATION at all but instead use CONTINUOUS DRIVE mode in conjunction with MANUAL FOCUS, would that have any bearing on which AF POINT SELECTION option one chooses. For example, a guy I read about had been using AI FOCUS AF during a Formula race. While realizing his camera couldn't keep up with the fast cars closing in, he decided to do just that. He explains he could lock the focal distance, keep it fixed in place and shoot in CONTINUOUS DRIVE to increase his chances of at least one frame being sharp. Since he furthermore says that he selected a FOCUS POINT, it makes me wonder what bearing AUTOMATIC FOCUS POINT SELECTION would have had, and could he have chosen that option for the same scenario?

There's no spotting me at the motorsports facility other than driving go-carts, unfortunately outside the placement of merit. Hahaha! My mentioning the guy who did shoot at Formula races was more or less an effort to give context to the problem I was trying to figure out, which really has to do with the FOCUS POINT SELECTIONS one has to consider as they relate to the different AF MODES. The guy says that he selected a SINGLE POINT to lock-in distance to the track and then switch to FT-Manual focus to take CONTINUOUS shots, whereas I'm wondering could he have used AUTOMATIC POINT selection to lock-in beforehand. It seems if the AF system is advanced enough, it would be able to focus well during the burst. Moreover, you mention panning for a more creative effect along with a bigger zoom that what I have, which in that case, I know for sure I would select a SINGLE POINT. I'm mostly uncertain when it comes to the SELECTION POINTS, particularly when I want to focus MANUALLY, and under what circumstances, if any, I would want to use the AUTOMATIC POINT SELECTION?

Crashes and Lock-ups

I have been experiencing crashes and lock-ups in Premiere CS4.
Last week I was running Encore to burn a DVD and when I noticed the processor was running flat out. I decided to run Core Temp to check the temperatures. At that point my encoding stopped and Encore locked up.
Now I usually have Core Temp start when I load Windows. I have now disabled it and when I ran Premiere last night guess what? No lock-ups. Now this is early days but I suspect Core Temp might be the problem. I hope so. I'll report back with my findings when I have had more time to experiment.
PS I'm running Windows XP SP3, Quad Core 6600 and 4Gb RAM
Cheers,
Tim

Re: Transactions and Locking Rows for Update

Dale,
Sounds like you either need an "optimistic locking" scheme, usually
implemented with timestamps at the database level, or a concurrency manager.
A concurrency manager registers objects that may be of interest to multiple
users in a central location. It takes care of notifying interested parties
(i.e., clients,) of changes made to those objects, using a "notifier" pattern.
The optimistic locking scheme is relatively easy to implement at the
database level, but introduces several problems. One problem is that the
first person to save their changes "wins" - every one else has to discard
their changes. Also, you now have business policy effectively embedded in
the database.
The concurrency manager is much more flexible, and keeps the policy where
it probably belongs. However, it is more complex, and there are some
implications to performance when you get to the multiple-thousand-user
range because of its event-based nature.
Another pattern of lock management that has been implemented is a
"key-based" lock manager that does not use events, and may be more
effective at managing this type of concurrency for large numbers of users.
There are too many details to go into here, but I may be able to give you
more ideas in a separate note, if you want.

The scenario is as follows: We have a window where the user picks an

introduce a second user. If user #1 and user #2 both happen to pull up
the same object and start making changes to it, user #1 could write back
to the database and then 15 seconds later user #2 could write back to the
database, completely overlaying user #1's changes without ever knowing
they had happened. This is not good, particularly for our application
where editing the object causes it to progress from one state to the next,
and multiple users trying to edit it at the same time spells disaster.
The first thing that came to mind was to do a select with intent to update,
i.e. 'select * from table where key = 'somevalue' with update'. This way
the next user to try to select from the table using the same key would not
be able to get it. This would prevent multiple users from being able to
pull the same object up on their screens at the same time. Unfortunately,
I can think of a number of problems with this approach.
For one thing, the lock is only held for the duration of the transaction, so
I would have to open a Forte transaction, do the select with intent to
update, let the user modify the object, then when they saved it back again
end the transaction. Since a window is driven by the event loop I can't
think of any way to start a transaction, let the user interact with the
window, then end the transaction, short of closing and re-opening the
window. This would imply having a separate window specifically for
updating the object, and then wrapping the whole of that window's event
loop in a transaction. This would be a different interface than we wanted
to present to the users, but it might still work if not for the next issue.
The second problem is that we are using a pooled DBSession approach
to connecting to the database. There is a single Oracle login account
which none of the users know the password to, and thus the users
simply share DBSession resources. If one user starts a transaction
and does a select with intent to update on one DBSession, then another
user starts a transaction and tries to do the same thing on the same
DBSession, then the second user will get an error out of Oracle because
there's already an open transaction on that DBSession.
At this point, I am still tossing ideas around in my head, but after
speaking with our Oracle/Forte admin here, we came to the conclusion
that somebody must have had to address these issues before, so I
thought I'd toss it out and see what came back.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

"I think nighttime is dark so you can imagine your fears with less

We have taken an optimistic data locking approach. Retrieved values are
stored as initial values; changes are stored seperately. During update, key
value(s) or the entire retieved set is used in a where criteria to validate
that the data set is still in the initial state. This allows good decoupling
of the data access layer. However, optimistic locking allows multiple users
to access the same data set at the same time, but then only one can save
changes, the rest would get an error message that the data had changed. We
haven't had any need to use a pessimistic lock.
Pessimistic locking usually involves some form of open session or DBMS level
lock, which we haven't implemented for performance reasons. If we do find the
need for a pessimistic lock, we will probably use cached data sets that are
checked first, and returned as read-only if already in the cache.

How do I use pan and zoom on vertical photographs without editing out most of the photo?

I am trying to make a slide show. When I have a vertically oriented (portrait) photograph and try to use pan and zoom, the feature eliminates much of the photograph. It seems the pan and zoom feature only works for horizontally oriented (or landscape) photographs. Is there a way to use pan and zoom on vertically oriented photographs to capture all or most of the photograph and zoom in from there?

gtavetian
I decided to use a different strategy to convey the principle. It is most likely that your photos will be 4:3 and you may or may not be taking them into a SD widescreen or HD widescreen project. With all those variables, to get the basic ideas across, I am going to use two models with a generalized scheme.
For this post....
NTSC DV Standard Project - Portrait Oriented JPG, in this case 2448 x 3264 3:4. Could be any Portrait Oriented JPEG any pixel dimensions. But best plan ahead for what you have and what you would like.
Manually set the project preset to NTSC DV Standard.
File Menu/New/Project and, in the new project dialog, set for NTSC DV Standard.
Before exiting the final dialog in that area, put a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". Close out of there.
Next go to the Edit Menu/Preferences/General and remove the check mark next to "Default Scale to Frame Size". Close out of the preferences.
In the opened Premiere Elements Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to get your portrait oriented JPG to the beginning of the Timeline.The 2448 x 3264 3:4 will overwhelm the space in the Edit Mode monitor. That is to be expected. The Timeline Indicator is at the beginning of the Timeline @ 00;00;00;00.
a. Click on the Timeline jpg to select it. With Motion Panel/Scale property (with Constrain Proportions with check mark), you want to scale the image so that the whole is shown within the mode space. You want to see the image's bounding box. See the next screenshot. The bounding box is the white outline around the image. It has handles.
After the scaling to get that look, the important information that you want is on the right in the Motion Panel
Position values 360.0 and 240.0
Scale value 14.6%.
The next phase is as before (See post 21 of this thread...but much of that is repeated below and modified for what is being described at this moment)
With Timeline Indicator at the beginning of Video Track 1 (00;00;00;00), go to Tools Menu/Pan and Zoom and click on it to open the Pan and Zoom workspace.
In the Pan and Zoom workspace, you will see that the feature has created the initial two Focus Frames for you.
Do not do anything to Focus Frame 1 in the bin below the image window.
Click on Focus Frame 2 in the bin below the image window and set the Focus Frame as wanted.
Click on New Frame in the panel to the left of the image window to create a third Focus Frame which will appear in the bin. Set Focus Frame as wanted.
Click on New Frame in the panel to the left of the image window to create a fourth Focus Frame which will appear in the bin. Set the Focus Frame as wanted.
Click Done to the Pan and Zoom workspace so that you are back in the Premiere Elements Expert workspace with its Timeline.
In the Expert workspace,
Move the Timeline Indicator to the last frame of the selected pan and zoom clip 1. In Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded, (Toggle Animation should be active at this point), make sure Position settings are 360.0 and 240.0 and Scale = 14.6% (with Constrain Proportions used).Then go to Tools Menu/Freeze Frame and set the freeze frame for 3 seconds and hit Insert in Movie.
Then move the Timeline Indicator to the first frame of the selected pan and zoom clip 1. In Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded (Toggle Animation should be active at this point), make sure Position settings are 360.0 and 240.0 and Scale = 14.6% (with Constrain Proportions used). Then go to Tools Menu/Freeze Frame and set the freeze frame for 3 seconds and hit Insert in Movie.
Render.
The Timeline content sequence from start to finish should be:
Freeze Frame 3 seconds First Frame of pan and zoom clip 1
Pan and zoom clip 1
Freeze Frame 3 seconds Last Frame of pan and zoom clip 1
Freeze Frame 3 seconds First Frame of pan and zoom clip 2
Pan and zoom clip 2
Freeze Frame 3 seconds Last Frame of pan and zoom clip 2
A Dissolve/Cross Dissolve Video Transition (1.00 seconds) is placed between end of Freeze Frame Last Frame of pan and zoom clip 1 and beginning of Freeze Frame 3 First Frame of pan and zoom clip 2.
Additional pan and zoom portrait oriented jpgs to the Timeline would be treated as above.
What was done above can be applied to any photo with any project preset. The basic idea is to
a. Start with determing the whole picture Position and Scale values as described with the Default Scale to Frame Size option disabled.
b. Do pan and zoom with Pan and Zoom Tool in its workspace
c. Return to Premiere Elements workspace to apply your Position and Scale values to the last frame of pan and zoom clip so that the last frame presents in full clip view. Then go to the first frame of the pan and zoom clip, and apply the Position and Scale values to it so that the first frame presents in full clip view.
d. If you want the whole view to present for more than that one frame, do the freeze frame at each end, with the wanted duration.
e. Apply emblessments as wanted, such as video transitions, an animated graphic flying through the last scene, etc.
We could take this same clip into a NTSC AVCHD Full HD 1080p30 project and do the same, except the Position and Scale values and the Scale % determined at the beginning and used subsequently will be different than in the NTSC DV Standard project.
Please check out the above and see how you do with it. If problems, please indicate where and we will work through them.
Thanks.

How do you hide one dimension from EPM context pane without locking it

Hi Experts,
Simple question: How can I programmatically (using vba) hide a particular dimension in the EPM context pane, without locking it?
Following API's could be used, but they all have have a mandatory parameter for the dimension member... which locks the dimension... but I need it to stay unlocked!
SetContextMember
SetContextOptions
SetContextOptionsForSeveralDimensions
And no, I do not want to use the User option to hide the full context pane.
Thanks for your advice.

Hi,
You can use Hide option to just hide required dimensions with out locking.
EPM-->Options-->Context Options.
Thanks,
Raju

How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock all?

How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock them all? It seems to do it automatically when I have 10 or more selected. But how do I lock or unlock 5 or 6 files in one swoop? Thanks

Select the desired files then press OPTION and select Show Inspector from the Finder's File menu.

How do you enable Auto Scroll in a sequence pane, and MIDI devices?

Hello,
I am just getting used to Garage Band for the first time. I am finding that Garage Band is much easier to deal with than Mark Of the Unicorn from a musical standpoint.
I am now converting my many MIDI sequences to GB. I have run into these three issues that I cannot seem to figure out.
1. I have both the "Main Secuence" pane and the "Piano Roll/Score" pane arranged vertically. But the Secuence pane auto scrolls, as the timing progresses, but the "Piano Roll/Score" pane does not. How do I get these two windows to enable/disable auto scroll?
2. How do I select from a starting bar to ending bar, for a given track, coping it, and pasting it to another track in the another track's sequence point?
3. How do I add other MIDI decices that I have pysically connected, and assign specific tracks to these physical MIDI divices and their defined Timbers?
Thanks in Advance.
Jeff Cameron

Thank you very much, Cristoph!
With your help, you have answered both questions 1 and 3.
Concerning question 2, I can see that when I click on the track header, the entire track is selected, but I am trying to physically select from one bar to another in that track.
I've tried clicking on the start bar and draging to the end and releasing. The whole track is still selected.
I've tried holding down the Shift key and doing the same. Still the whole track is still selected.
I guess I am missing the basics of marking and selecting the start and end point from within a basic track.
I'm already much farhter along with your help, and I appreciate your help, very much!

Pan and Zoom Effect, which PE version introduced it?

I like my PE 3.0 but it does not seem to offer the Pan and Zoom effect. Or am I just not seeing it. Does anyone know which later version introduced it? I know 8.0 has it, but when did it come along? The bundled version of Photoshop 5.0 it came with has a pan slide show, just discovered it.
Also, I am familiar with keyframes, would this be helpful with 3.0 pan? or do I need a newer version. Any tutorials good for this?
thank you

Pan & Zoom is available in all versions that offer Keyframing on the fixed Effects>Motion>Scale (Zoom) and Motion>Position (Pan). What might have been introduced would be Presets to do those with "one button." Do not know when those came into being. I do not use them in PrE 4, and would not in PrE 8, or 9, as I want control, and also the ability to determine what MY subject is, in an image. No amount of AI can do that for me, so a simple Preset stands about a zero chance of doing exactly what I want.
At some point, PSE added the automatic Random Pan & Zoom. Again, were I doing a slideshow in it, I would not apply such, as i would Keyframe Motion>Position and Motion>Scale in PrE.
In PrE 3, I feel strongly that you have the Effects Control Panel (accessed via Edit Effects for a Clip/still), and the ability to Keyframe both Motion>Scale and Motion>Position. This allows one adjust the parameters for those Effects over time, i.e. create a Zoom, and create a Pan. Other than the fact that you do these by hand, by eye and by mind, but with ultimate control, you have the features - just not automatically applied via a single button.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adding Pan and Zoom to a video demo in Captivate 7

I am trying to add Pan and Zoom to a video demo and the Add Pan & Zoom button is greyed out, why? And, how can I get it to work!

Hi there
Notice that for a video demo you can set in and out points by clicking and dragging the little gold bars on the timeline.
If you have dragged the out point beyond the actual recording, as shown below, you can get the playhead beyond the video. And in that case the buttons for Pan and Zoom are disabled.

How to enable navigation pane and TOC

Hi
I have Robohelp x5.02. I generate webhelp pro output. Now I
have lost my navigation pane and TOC in the output. Only contents
file displays.
How can I get my navigation icons and TOC back. I don't think
I have a frameset file. When I click view Result from within
Robohelp the navigation pane and icons are displayed

Hi all
Either this or you aren't pointing at the project correctly.
For example, pointing at an individual topic inside the help

Pan and Zoom/Image Size

I have tried the pan and zoom (Ken Burns Effect) in iPhoto 08 but have been struck by the following problems:
1. With the image slider moved all the way to the left, I cannot move an image left-right/right-left to isolate a particular area for a pan start or finish. I can solely move an image up and down.
2. In order to do any panning, I have to zoom into the image. What this means is that to pan I have to do some zooming, i.e., I have to start with a close up of the subject(s) right from the git-go and starting with a close up eliminates areas of the original image. This is not good.
2. My images in the editor (monitor)are complete large in size, i.e. they take up a good portion of the monitor real estate. I thought that reducing photo resolution/image size to 640x480/72dpi would solve the problem but it didn't. I am still encountering the same limited pan ability.
I build very large and extensive slide shows and I now know the limitations regarding music and sound inherent in iLife but I was not expecting a limitation in image presentation capabilities as well.
Just for comparisons sakes, I have used Photoshop Elements 6 (the Organizer) to build slide shows and have not encountered these problems at all.
At any rate, am I doing something wrong in iPhoto 08?
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.

Thank you both for your replies. I will definatley try both suggestions.With the cropping, panning and zooming what i am trying to do is this. On a image in previous version of photo elements you were able to select cropping when making a slide show. What I would do is select the image, select cropping. Then I would select a square or rectangular area where the image would start appearing. Then the next select area (square or rectangular) would be where the image would end up at in that. Its was kind of a start & end point for an image. Then to add to this affect you could fade in to the first "cropping selection"so to speak and then fade out in the second "cropping selection". Then your slide show moves to the next image. All in all the transition between photos are a fade in & out affect, whilst the cropping feature let you pick areas of the photo that you wanted to highlight. You could select a small square or rectangle and the image would fade in "out of focus" but the second selected cropping point would be larger and the image ends up in focus.
I hope this makes sense!!! Anyway Steve I will try your suggestion and see how I go!
Thank you

IPod screen says to plug in to iTunes, but iTunes will not read the device and the iPod cannot be restarted by home and lock buttons. How do I fix this?

The screen shows the usb cable pointing to the iTunes ico. I've tried resetting the device by using the home and lock buttons, but the same screen shows up. Just redownloaded iTunes, but I can't get it to see the device.

Did you try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article? iOS: Unable to update or restore
