Re: Photo Processing , Gallery and IPTC Data app

2008-01-26 Thread Sivakatirswami
If it were Apple Only it would be so easy, but we need a cross platform 
solution. Andre is looking into SIPS (yes if you have code we could use 
it!) and he is looking at a VB /ASP solution for Windows. 

But, at least for version 1.0  if photos are coming in at 2.5 Megs of 
smaller (typical for my users) a clean native transcript solution for 
the downsizing and preview thumbnails is not all that bad...open, scale 
down, write image data to a new image and save out... if you do it as 
invisible. You would be surprised... naive users are also fairly 
patient. If you tell them "It will take me about 5 minutes to process 
your 50 images" that's just fine with them.. they do something else, go 
do email for a few minutes and come back. They are happy if a) it works 
b) they don't have to know how it works c) nothing breaks. Professionals 
tend to be speed addicts and they can't stand it. they want the computer 
do everything right now...


Those impatient users who do have knowledge and skills usually have no 
problem with  two step process: they can use Photoshop batch process 
(Adobe killed Image Ready which was too bad...) or that cool little 
program called "Down Size"  and *then* open them in my app... save us 
the trouble of trying to bundling all that.


So then we only need to write a small bit of IPTC data, data, caption, 
author of caption, that's about it, keywords possibly...back into the 
files... so that's were EXIFTools comes in.

Yes, right we are doing a bit of re-inventing here... but I *think* 
we have the kind of functional specification that will provide a most 
*only* 2 user choices:


-Size;
- output quality (and both of these from pull down menus with 
defaults preset)


Reinventing the wheel here is about building a tool UI for naive 
users. That delivers what you want to  a specification that is 
otherwise relatively complex in terms of the processing requirement.


Doh! I derailed things with the mention of RAW and assumed from your 
reply that it was going to be used by dedicated photographers.



1)  download camera, resize, help them with selection
  with some CMS in the background
 (save originals in one folder, build thumbs in another etc)
run filter (unsharp mask)
2) add captions, save that data as part of the IPTC
3) bundle and email or upload

I have yet to see any application that does that and only that.


Photo Mechanic would be about the closest, but leaves out the sizing, 
USM and uploading.


I've already seen what happens if you try to ask these same naive 
users to buy (they won't) get their heads around (they can't) 
properly use (they won't) tools like Aperture,  iView (now 
Expressions owned by MS.. our favorite)  ...  These apps are  
wonderful, to be sure, but a) costly b) feature heavy to the point of 
being difficult to use.


Agreed. They are specialist apps which require time (and interest) to 
learn.


>From your mention of MBP & Cinema Displays, will it be Mac-specific 
or wider? There's quite a few bits in OS X which will help.


A few ideas in the order of your steps above, assuming OS X:
1)
a. Image Capture can be set to send all the images it downloads to an 
application (such as your ingester). A short screen video showing how 
to do this will keep life really
b. SIPS for making thumbnails in a new folder, I can probably dig out 
some code for this. Note - SIPS can also be called via AppleScript but 
this is considerably slower.

c. Wilhelm for USM. :-)
2)
a. Might be worth adding keywording as well, unless you want to do all 
of that in Portfolio once the files are   back at base.
b. Definitely EXIFTools for adding the info to the files. I don't 
(yet) have any direct experience of using it, but from everything I've 
read it's pretty easy if you are confident in the command line. I 
believe that it can be distributed and used freely.

3) No comments.

Interface-wise, I think the moving of thumbnails around the screen is 
likely to be the tricky bit, but it sounds like you've already noticed 
that...

Re: revdberr,invalid database type - ODBC - library not loaded

2008-01-26 Thread mfstuart

Hi Robert,
If I'm reading your revOpenDatabase script correctly, you're 3rd parameter
is incorrect.
Try this:
revOpenDatabase("ODBC","Remote_EBCO_ODBC",,"userName","password")
(just remove the double quotes from the 3rd parameter, as in revs doc copied
below...)
I use ODBC connections to MSSQL 2000 and that's the way I do it.

>From Rev's Docmentation:
"To use a DSN to identify an ODBC database, use the DSN as the host, and
leave the databaseName parameter empty."

Hi,
It works on development, but not on standalone.
ManOSX10.5.1 and WindowsXP, Rev 2.8.1
Do I have to set any in the standalone application setting?


The patterns and brushes are not automatically included in  
standalones, and the standalone builder does not have an option to  
include them. This is fixed for the next release. For now, you have  
to copy the patterns and brushes into your stack manually.


There are quite a few stacks involved. The easiest way is to set the  
preferences to show Revolution stacks in lists, then use the  
Application Browser to find all the stacks that work with cursors,  
patterns, and brushes. Clone those and make them substacks of your  
main stack.


Or wait for 2.9. :)

Re: OT Re: Look and Learn . . .

2008-01-26 Thread Mark Swindell
I understood what Wolfgang meant when I read his original post.  It  
raised my eyebrows for a brief moment because of my own cultural/ 
linguistic moorings, but it made sense when I filtered it by trying  
to understand  his intent,  and that he was likely not raised in an  
English-speaking context.   It was a blunt statement, yes, but that  
can make for efficient code, no?  :)


An amusing parallel:  For many folks in Mexico the word "estúpido" is  
considered on a par with the F-word or worse.  While it's certainly  
never a compliment when used to someone's face, it, and its forms,  
are far more common in other parts of the Spanish-speaking world, and  
in English its parallel is quite common (a stupid joke, etc).  So  
when I teach Mexican kids, my role is to be sensitive to their  
gasps... yes, the young ones literally draw their breath in disbelief  
and wonder/fear when they hear or read the cognate thrown around in  
English.  They are indeed ignorant of how "stupid" is used outside  
their own micro-culture.  They are not stupid, of course, but in this  
context they are definitely ignorant.  There's no shame or insult in  
that.   So I explain to them that words only hold the emotional  
charge that we give them ourselves, though our cultural upbringing.


I'm always amazed at how often and well people from other countries  
communicate in English, and sheepish at how few Americans can  
communicate in another language.   Perhaps if we are bothered by  
something that seems out of kilter from a non-English native, we  
should ask first what was intended:  "X, did you mean to insult Y?  
Because directly calling someone Z in most of the English speaking  
world could easily be considered an insult."




The language of the web is not english! Its spanglish denglish,  
singlish, chinglish, aranglish, etc..


I couldn't agree more.

broken windows in screen mirroring mode (Tiger)

2008-01-26 Thread viktoras didziulis
...so I connected my macbook to media projector, switched to "mirror 
mode" to have the same view in both screens, started my application 
(compiled on windows xp), and saw its windows broken into parts and 
pieces, all the formatting lost... Is it a bug of Revolution or MacOSX ?


When using the default "extended desktop" mode then everything looks 
correctly, so the bug manifests itself in "screen mirroring mode" only. 
Did anyone observe anything like this ? At least I did not find any 
reports in quality center...

I found that Rev already has a function called setRegistry(). But

As far as I know I need to do the following:

- Add the sub-keys:  \shell\open\command
- Set the value of the default string inside the command key to: "  
c:\my prog\prog.exe %1"


Andres,

This is a pretty standard modification to the registry so don't be  
scared :-)


Here is an example that registers an app to process a url protocol.  
Note that I am setting ssurl\URL Protocol to a space. This is  
because Rev deletes registry keys if you set the key to an empty  
value. I'm not sure if that is the wisest way to go about it but  
that is what Rev does. In any case the protocol still works with the  
value set to space.



on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
   put "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\" into thePrefix
   put setregistry(thePrefix & "myurl\", "URL:Alert Protocol") into

- Add the sub-keys:  \shell\open\command
- Set the value of the default string inside the command key to: " c: 
\my prog\prog.exe %1"


Andres,

This is a pretty standard modification to the registry so don't be  
scared :-)


Here is an example that registers an app to process a url protocol.  
Note that I am setting ssurl\URL Protocol to a space. This is because  
Rev deletes registry keys if you set the key to an empty value. I'm  
not sure if that is the wisest way to go about it but that is what Rev  
does. In any case the protocol still works with the value set to space.



on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
put "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\" into thePrefix
put setregistry(thePrefix & "myurl\", "URL:Alert Protocol") into  
wasSuccessful
put setregistry(thePrefix & "myurl\URL Protocol", " ") into  
wasSuccessful

put setregistry(thePrefix & "myurl\shell\open\command\", \
quote & "C:\Program Files\ScreenSteps\ScreenSteps.exe" &  
quote && quote & "%1" & quote) into wasSuccessful

end mouseUp

I apologize for the 'grammar' comment.  I am not 
the language police, that's absurd. It's the 
first time I've done that on this (international) 
list.


However, this list is conducted in English, and 
in English, it is an insult to call someone  " an 
ignorant"  whatever.  Period. End. You can spend 
time with root words, definitions,  etc. but here 
it's perceived as an insult.


Why don't you just apologize for your comment, like I did, and we can move on.





The language of the web is not english! Its 
spanglish denglish, singlish, chinglish, 
aranglish, etc...
Sorry to the language list police from the US 
Department of Homeland Security, seems watching 
this list. Sorry again, if this post is not 
grammatically perfect. (But I´ve tried harder, i 
have not time to do so allways)

Dear Heather,
On 23.01.2008, at 10:37, Heather Nagey wrote:

Richmond called himself a snob - acceptable, clearly he was not  
likely to offend himself by doing so. You called someone else  
ignorant. Unacceptable.
Sorry, cant see the offense. Check the root of the word ignore (latin  
ignorare) It means: not to know/see.

Whats bad about "not knowing"?
There are a lot of things in this world I dont know. I have no problem  
to admit that.


Also rather pointless, I fail to see what you were hoping to achieve  
by doing so. Its a pity that such an interesting thread has been  
hijacked by an unnecessary controversy.
It was not! I cant believe, that on a professional list - correct me  
if it isnt anymore -
nobody knows what means "OT" into the subject of a posting. Hijacked  
have not I, hijacked have the grammar fellows and advocates.


I would like to see an apology, but if that is not forthcoming  
please do not post any justifications to the list - thats not what  
this list is for.



Richmond did not need any advocate, he has replied perfectly. His  
answer did not need any helpless help, it deserves "standing  
ovations". Read it again, before "you" ask me for an apology, what i  
would do, if *he* asks for:


But, I see it different: Ignorant is not an offense, if a person *does  
not know*. It would be an offense, if a person does not *want* to  
know. Thats exactly what a snob does: Demonstrating that he does not  
*want* to know. (Snobs often let others feel that they are stupid or  
less worth.)


The language of the web is not english! Its spanglish denglish,  
singlish, chinglish, aranglish, etc...

Security, seems watching this list. Sorry again, if this post is not  
grammatically perfect. (But I´ve tried harder, i have not time to do

You are right Heather, all that is not what this list is for. Amen
Unfortunatly this list has lost a lot of esprit, inspiration, charisma  
(and charismatic people), it had many years. Therefore i liked it a lot.
Sorry that I m still occasionally watching this list. I m doing it,  
because of these charismatic, controversial fellows/ladies, who are  
posting here sometimes.
And, because I m clandestinely hoping rev will become anytime, i had  
expected many years ago. (For my project seems to late now, because  
the tool i need is born.)


I can give up watching the list, if you prefer, or, you can exclude  
me, if you like.

Hi,

use "move" instead of "drag". That will work.

As i understand, drag is used for buttons only.

Re: Keyword "from"

2008-01-26 Thread Martin Blackman
Someone just beat me to the punch but this was my reply..
Note the description of drag - 'Simulates a mouse click and drag'.  The
dictionary entry hints that you can use it to move a control but it is
inefficient, I don't know how to do that but you could instead use the Move
command for this.
