Synchronization of shortcuts via Dropbox - Symlinks vs settings?

For awhile, I was syncing my presets, scripts, plugins and between computers and versions AE via Dropbox (always on PC, but the stands of the theory), areas of work.

To do this, I use symbolic links; for some reason, I thought using simple shortcuts would not be picked up correctly, especially with regard to the installation of software programs.

I do a writeup of how do, and in the process, I came to the question of whether symbolic links are still necessary, or if a shortcut/realize is strong enough to do it with. Can anyone provide any input on the side of the tech?

Also - for workspaces, I was syncing both ModifiedWorkspaces that OriginalUserWorkspaces to sync layouts. They are both necessary, or only one or the other?

Other than these, I know (and pass on) problems of compatibility with presets in the new versions, plugins between the CC and CC pre installed, mediacore, doubling of the plugins, etc.

Thank you!

Yes - did some more tests & dig myself, and it seems as well that while After Effects will dive in shortcuts for most of the parameters, the current Plugins / Mediacore directory was not considered with the standard shortcuts. In addition, all the tools based on the installation programs would work with shortcuts.

Verdict: use symbolic links, no shortcuts.

  • Sharing/synchronization via Dropbox catalogue with 2 different accounts of CC?

    A catalog may be shared/synchronized between two Mac separated via Dropbox with 2 different accounts of CC?

    Thank you.

    Lightroom is not designed to be multi-user. If a user tries to open the catalog before the update (synchronization) takes place the catalog may be corrupt. If a user closed the catalog until the synchronization is complete, the catalog may be corrupt. You take a big risk trying to work this way. Some users have reported success using the catalog in dropbox, but it is not recommended by Adobe. You yourself if you decide to go in this direction.

    Hi Kelly

    Synchronization of InDesign setting function is useful to synchronize your setting (PDF preset, menuset, KBSC, glyphset) through two different system.

    On the same machine to migrate the settings for old version to the new version, you must use Edit > migrate settings the precedents as mentioned above Bob.

    If the migration happens to be successful then your old KBSC version will be displayed in a newer version on the same machine.

  • Change to the subject: the configuration via the mac terminal settings

    Hello

    I administer more than 140 computers mac, with firefox installed. Unfortunately, it seems like a daily appearance when a user calls and says that firefox is updated, listen to which they can't because they are not administrator accounts.
    Now, I use apple remote desktop to turn off auto-updated for many other applications such as software update, microsoft office and adobe. Unfortunately since firefox does not use a standard plist file on mac I can't use default to write preference remotely.
    Question: Is there a way to write to the config of firefox via command line, so I can turn off auto-updated mass instead of having to touch to each computer and do change in the GUI?

    Thank you!

    Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock the prefs or specify default values.

    Place a local file - settings.js in the folder by default/pref where you will also find the channel - prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg file.

    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    

    See:

    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:

    defaultPref();  // set new default value
    pref();         // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref();     // lock pref, disallow changes
    
    lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);

  • Classic BlackBerry how can I create a shortcut to the call forwarding settings?

    I frequently update forwarding calls (all calls) to various destinations and want an easier way (Hotkey?) instead of: open phone app, scroll down from the top to join settings that often requires a few attempts scrolling, tap Settings, click call forwarding.

    It really should be a way to create a 'macro' to all this.

    Agreed! A keyboard shortcut would be ideal

  • Synchronize IR columns via plsql API

    Hello!

    I would use the wwv_flow_worksheet_standard package to synchronize IR columns in my application out plsql.
    Reason: My IR based views (simply: select * from view_name) I have a lot of them, and they change frequently via plsql run immediately.

    What I tried was:

    DECLARE
    l_flow_id NUMBER (20);
    l_region_id NUMBER (20);
    l_query VARCHAR2 (4000);
    l_result VARCHAR2 (4000);

    Of apex_application_page_ir
    WHERE page_id = 9 AND application_id = 133;

    Hi Mike,.

    You must set the workspace you synchronize IR columns for:

    DECLARE

  • Via mozilla.cfg proxy settings

    Thus, it is my first foray in the world of config files and such so patient with me if I'm doing something completely wrong.

    I'm writing a mozilla.cfg file which will force the auto proxy detection. I used lockPref ("network.proxy.type", 4), but I get an error 'Unable to read configuration file' at the launch of ff8. When I take this line out (I have a few other settings there), it seems to work ok. What I'm doing wrong here?

    Also, incidentally, are there any settings that I can add to this file that removes the prompt about firefox is not the default browser?

    Can you post the entire content of the text file mozilla.cfg?

    Do you use a ROT13 byte offset?

  • BlackBerry software unable to synchronize playlists itunes via BBLink

    Hi all

    I hope I'm not the only one having this problem but I'm able to see my itunes music library in my bblink.   Before I have in the past been able to synchronize itunes playlists to my Z10 but I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and had no chance to get communication between itunes and bblink.

    When I have everything first open bblink and go to music, it shows empty according to the screenshot below.

     http://postimg.org/image/ftjn0skmz/

    If I go home to bblink and change the "select your music source" and it points to WMP, I see the music appear.

    http://postimg.org/image/4mkhr8jtf/

    If I change back to pointing to itunes I get an error "Itunes is not available.

    http://postimg.org/image/3vsi85ih3/

    I tried the solution provided in the error, but not luck.

    I also tried to uninstall and reinstall BBLink and itunes.

    I also tried to remove my itunes library and re-import my music in itunes.

    The only solution that I have not tried is reinstalling windows.  I would avoid rather than as I needed to reinstall windows 8 and then perform the upgrade to 10.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

    My version of Itunes is 12.2.2.25 / My BBLink is 1.2.4.39 / my version of the software on my Z10 is 10.3.2.2168

    I think that I just fixed it. New versions of Itunes apparently do not have an xml file in the itunes on your PC my default folder. You are able to activate a feature in the advanced Itunes sharing this folder, after that, all my songs appeared in link BlackBerry! Happy days

  • Creates shortcuts to folders via SHIFT-CTRL/Drag-And-Drop is no longer supported in Windows 7 (64 bit)?

    In Windows Vista, there are two possibilities to create a shortcut to a folder by drag - move different combinations of keys by drag-and - drop:

    'ALT'-key: create a normal shortcut (a double-click on this shortcut navigates to the linked folder)
    "SHIFT-CTRL"-key: creates a shortcut file (junction; "." the folder appears as a subfolder of the folder of its container)

    In Windows 7, it is only possible to create normal shortcuts. 'SHIFT-CTRL' / drag-and-drop doesn't seem to work in Windows 7. Only, it behaves in the same way as 'ALT' / drag-and-drop.

    My observation is correct?
    Is it possible to activate Vista-like behavior in Windows 7 (for example, by editing the registry)?

    A few notes:

    Shortcuts to files that have been created previously with Windows Vista are always managed properly in Windows 7 (i.e., they appear as subfolders).

    The expected behavior of drag-and-drop works correctly when deleting in the folder "...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network shortcuts" (However, creating normal shortcuts via "ALT" - key is not possible in the shortcut 'network' - folder).

    Creating a shortcut to folder in "Network shortcut" and then moving in an arbitrary folder shortcut works as expected. Currently, it is the only workaround I know.

    Thank you very much for your answer!

  • iPhone does not synchronize photos correctly

    Hello

    I use iPhone 6 and are having problems since iOS 9.3 update.

    I don't want to have pictures in iCloud or want to synchronize the photos app. I have a folder on my mac book: there are several subfolder and each holds a couple of photos and images.
    It worked well, but since iOS 9.3 files synchronizes any more. IPhone sync problems - I can't delete photos on the iPhone.
    I tried to solve this problem by creating a new empty a folder - but if I try to sync iTunes starts the synchronization process and fails with the message: iPhone could not be found, but the iPhone is still connected and hit anything the iPhone. Synchronization of an empty folder will not change the photos on my iPhone, or any change in iTunes will delete the photos on the iPhone.

    The last time, I reset my iPhone. I had a backup restore, and after I could synchronize photos from the new record.
    Now, I made an iPhone update iOS 9.3.3 and the same thing happens again...
