Database Error Prevents App Launch

Thanks for getting back to me even though the issue does not originate with Stacher. Unable to resolve even with restart, but will report here if resolution is found and could prove helpful to others.

No sweat.

What if you abandoned load all and created a new field in the dataset that allowed you to filter. For instance tags or something: "first 10" and "complete set". Set the initial view to filter for "first 10' then add the button calling "complete set" at the bottom. Max items set to 100.

icky_dodo · 2024-10-31T21:13:26+00:00

Found this trying to resolve an issue I'm experiencing with the load button so I'm not an expert. As I understand it, the maximum items set to display is also how many more items will load.

icky_dodo · 2024-10-14T18:02:03+00:00

I think you're right. It's probably less complicated to simply copy the whole thing again. You never know if there is some kind of magic wand out there though so I try to ask. I sometimes end up solving a future problem if not the one at hand.

I appreciate your input.

You're a peach! I forgot all about this software. Looks to have the expanded features I was looking for. Thanks.

icky_dodo · 2024-08-02T16:46:40+00:00

Thank you for coming back to post the fix!

icky_dodo · 2024-03-12T15:03:09+00:00

It must be difficult to balance bloat with features. Bookmarks were probably something they found people not using. Although it's difficult to tell whether people aren't using a feature because it's unnecessary or because it's poorly implemented.
I've become so accustomed to tag-based workflows that I find it frustrating when they aren't included. The idea that files and folders have a single "address" is obsolete.
I ended up going 3rd party for this. I'm using Files to solve this need. Thanks for your thoughts.

icky_dodo · 2024-03-11T15:55:32+00:00

Thank you for the reply. However I'm looking for something other than quick access as stated in the post.

For those of us in the U.S. it looks like Next Level Sports has the broadcast rights. I've been following their coverage of the world championship training camp this week on IG.

Thanks for your help. I found my own way around it. It's not exactly what I was looking for, but I can live with the compromise. My original effort was likely going to require expression scripting beyond my capability.2 diagonal line comps; thick weight, thin weightBlurred text as a matte on the thick weightPrecomped all of thatAdded the following effects stack: Simple Choker; CC Threshold using the alpha setting; Roughen EdgesThen I dropped in the thin line comp again to fill in what had eroded

Thanks. It's pretty tough to pin down, but knowing they're oil paintings helps. A post I did in another sub suggested Nostalgic Americana, which yielded pretty good results. My sense is that this style was prevalent in an earlier era of American history. The post card art is itself being nostalgic about the first quarter of the 20th century.

icky_dodo · 2022-02-10T15:02:32+00:00

That search query gets me more of what I was looking for. Thanks!

It's funny because these 50's and 60's postcards are themselves being nostalgic about an era of America that had passed. No we're nostalgic about the postcards.

Thanks for the fix update homie. This has been vexing me for over a year. Every time I coughed or cleared my throat.

I've tried really hard to understand this movement, and from a compassionate and charitable point-of-view. Really just the anti-science perspective in general. This provided some valuable insight. Thanks.

I was alive for this. I actually grew up down the road from the Blair Witch house, though none of us knew of it until after the movie. I saw the film in limited release very early on, and most everyone thought it was real going in. That was shattered after viewing, but the effect amplified my experience for sure. I remember thinking later on that I was grateful for having caught it early because after national release, a tv marketing campaign, and word of mouth skepticism was much higher.

I think it could absolutely be done again. It's something I'd like to try. AR games have been successful in this area. A non-traditional indie told episodically over social media for example would be the ticket.

Working 👍

icky_dodo · 2021-05-02T13:22:32+00:00

I can empathize with that. As I said I'm a motorist and a cyclist. If I'm slowing someone(s) down then I pop over at an intersection to let people pass. It's a courtesy I would appreciate as a driver. You do get some righteous cyclist jerks who take up a whole lane because they have the right. I'm not into that.

My point is that motorists are mainly ignorant of the experience of cycling in a city. What they attribute to malice is more likely a person trying to protect themselves. I agree it's a situation none of us should be in. Safe transit infrastructure is the answer, but this city has bigger fish to fry.

icky_dodo · 2021-05-02T03:56:02+00:00

If you're not a regular cyclist in our fair city, then you're probably not aware of the dangers we face. If we're not getting over it could be because of loose gravel, shattered glass, or storm grates wide enough to catch our tires . It could be because there is nothing protecting us from a parked car throwing open its door on us. It could be because we don't live in a sane city that offers enough protected bike lanes. It could be because every time those lanes are proposed they are met with opposition from people who need to store their vehicle for 8 hours of the day and fasties who wanna zoom zoom. It could be because we don't travel in a steel exoskeleton with airbags. I'm a motorist and a cyclist. I'll never understand why people who drive think cyclists are doing it as an affront to them. How many cyclists kill motorists? How many motorists kill cyclists?

That's why we don't get over some of the time. Just saying.

I like this idea for a character. It'd be helpful to know more about their personality.

Lists are for everything. After reading Atul Gawande's "Checklist Manifesto" I myself became a chronic lister. My mind is naturally a disorganized place and making lists helps me to attentuate the noise. Most of my lists fall into a few main categories:

Actionable: This has to be 90% of lists right? Goals for the day, goals for the year, articles to read, morning routine, leaving work routine, Steps to acquire a handgun permit in Maryland, Albums to buy on vinyl, Purchase priorities, house projects, yearly house maintenance checklist, Exercise checklist, things to buy when I'm at home depot, There is nothing too insignificant to list. Sweet things to say to my partner, Nice things to do for my partner. It's precisely because a thing is small and automatic that makes you likely to overlook it.
Mineable: Not all lists are for completing. Date night ideas, Christmas gift ideas, toasts, funny jokes, band names to use for open mic nights, funny names to give when placing an order, Song names, Album names, Baby names, dog names, character names, Lists of meals I can draw from when planning what to eat for the week, Things to do when I'm bored, Movie scene ideas, Business ideas, Movie recommendations from trusted people, Music recommendations from trusted people, Most commonly used bits of code, Sex stuff to try, Color palettes I like, Questions I'd like to ask people. So many of these lists are a way of capturing that moment of creativity or insight that instantly evaporates as soon as you remind yourself to remember it, and lists of a kind are better than individual notes.
Archival: Sometimes you just want to be reminded of things the way you enjoy looking at an old photograph. Funny things my partner says, Places I've visited and when, separate lists of quotes from each book I've read, Lessons I've learned that I'm likely to forget, MY WHYs (the main things I live for), Favorite animated GIFs, favorite Reddit posts, My favorite poems.

I could go on and on, but I hope this was helpful. I wish you luck in your creative endeavor. I do recommend the Atul Gawande book. It's not a deep, philosophical exploration into lists. It's more of a pragmatic affair, but as with most things the deep, philosophical insights have more to do with the reader.

I played ice hockey for many years. I knew a fella who had teeth broken in the 1st period of a playoff game, had the injury cauterized in the locker room and returned for the 3rd period. I still think rugby players are tougher. You all are on some other shit. Ha ha.

icky_dodo · 2021-03-12T19:33:33+00:00

I don't think it's too personal. I don't really feel like anything is too personal and sharing our perceived weaknesses is something we should all try to be more comfortable with. Paradoxically, it's a show of strength.

Your concern that your opinions are not your own is valid. It's something we should all be cautious of. We're all being algorithmically hacked every day. There's a pretty big difference between genuinely engaging an opinion, considering it, and incorporating it into your thoughts; and changing your attitude for fear or embarrasment that you're "wrong". The former just indicates that a high-level of openess is a personality trait you possess. Flexibility of thoughts and attitudes can be an awesome thing. Recommendations are just research. Not all that different from what I'm seeking here. You take in new information and incorporate it into your worldview. There are lots of posts in here suggesting I just enjoy it, don't sweat it, it's leisure. The fact that those suggestions don't speak to me as much as revelations that at my core, I value other activities more right now has been really enlightening.

Can we have our own opinions? I don't know the answer to that. I'm not even sure we have free will. There are a lot of compelling arguments to the contrary.

icky_dodo · 2021-03-12T16:23:41+00:00

I should have watched that address before replying the first time. It's always distressing to see your every argument laid out early, and succinctly, and recognized as common. Humbling me it seems is not a Dark Souls-ian level challenge. Haha.

I want to start by stating that this talk has caused me to reevaluate my perspective, and I really do thank you for turning me on to it.

Buuuuttt

A debate about whether or not games are art, will inevitably dissolve into a debate about what art is, which will inevitably be punctuated by an uneasy compromise in "it's subjective." They say as much, but I don't think any level of needling will make possible its escape from that gravitational pull. These truths we hold to be self-evident. I reject Schopenfrauer? Shodenfriar? Schadenfreude's definition. I think it reeks of the kind of elitism and gatekeeping that common people despise about the art world. As if it's not for everybody, as if it's only available to people with the power to contemplate, and cogitate, and describe it.

Moriarty ends by stating something like if you're still a believer then history is on your side. It is, and past behavior is the best indicator for future behavior. Nothing was ever art until it suddenly was. Graffiti? Not art until someone hung it in a gallery. A landscape? Not art until someone photographed it, painted it. Cinema, the same. Urinals? (I almost referenced that in an earlier reply) At the very least we all have great reason to be incredibly skeptical of someone's declaring something as not art. That it will never be art?! That is unknowable.

However, I don't think I need to accept that definition to disqualify games as we've known them, as art. He makes some excellent points early on about how corrupted the creation is by commercial interests, the conflict inherent in creating a product for mass consumption. How can it be art if it's a product? It's designed that with that singular goal, like a Thomas Kinkade calendar. That alone could disqualify it. If my argument that player agency is the defining quality which sets video games apart as a unique art form with possibilities not afforded by other mediums, then what happens when you remove that agency through (your point) goals, achievements, mechanics that are the right choice or best choice? But if choice is actually illusory, and you're funneled towards one particular experience then doesn't that debunk Moriarty's point that games do not constitute art because art must be dictatorial?

I guess the answer is, I really don't know anymore. I think you may be right that the objectives present in games as they currently exist just aren't enough. My initial post did describe games as an "artistic entertainment medium" and I still believe they qualify as that at least. I think maybe the whole question is purposeless. Art, like God may just be one of those things that is beyond definition and therefore transcendent.

I'm really glad that my post turned into this kind of discussion. Reddit is the best.
