How can I feather the vector mask (path) of a shape layer in CS6?

How can I feather the vector mask, i.e. path of a shape layer in CS6?
The corresponding slider in the properties pallette is alway grayed out and unmovable for me when dealing with shape layers. Is there a trick to it, or ist it really not possible at all? (In CS5 you can feather any vector mask via the mask pallette, although the mask's behavior is most of the times quiet buggy after doing so.)
Or is there any other way to non-destructably blur a shape in CS6? (I know I can create a smart object and use a blur filter on it, but that's not really what i'm after.)
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Start from the beginning
- Select the Rectangle Tool - go to Options Bar, ensure 'Shape' options is on from the the Pick a Tool Mode drop down list.
- Draw Rect. This should create a vector Shape Layer.
- Select it in the Layers Panel: The Properties Panel then should highlight the Density and Feather options.
What happens here when you drag the Feather slider? On my end it feathers the vector shape as a whole.
If you need further masking capabilities, then apply a Layer Mask to the Shape and proceed with the Properties Panel Density/Feather options.

In the new version of Numbers this option is not available. You will have to type the file name into the header yourself. You can post feedback to Apple using the menu item "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback"
or use Numbers2.3 which should be in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09" if you previously had it installed

:-) How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

Hi All,
We encounter a problem.
Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
We'd like to specify another path.
Thx for your help.
Erwan

Hello,
Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
You can link your PC directory to the application server.
You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
Hope this solves your problem.
Regards,
Ravi

Teststand 1.03 - How can I get the sequence file path into an expression?

The sequence file will be located at different locations on different computers. I need the base address of the sequence file to get to the correct limits file. How can I get the sequence file path into a string-local expression.
Thanks

As Ray described, the FindFile expression function and TS API method will seach all TS search directories and return to you the path of your file, assuming the file is located in the search directories.
If you just want the path of a TS file that you have a reference to then there is a faster, easier method. You can use the Path property of the PropertyObjectFile class. In the attached example I use an AcitiveX Automation adapter step to call Path on the property RunState.SequenceFile. This returns the path to the current executing sequence file. Note that if you have not yet saved the sequence file then the path will be empty. In a subsequence step I strip off the file name leaving the root path of the file.

How can I get the server absolute path of virtual directory?

Problem context:
absolute path of my application at JRUN server is
c:\testing
nd url is
http://kaspak/test
( kaspak is a machine local to server i-e client nd server r at same machine )
I m uploading a file nd saving it at server.
PROBLEM:
server save my uploaded file at
C:\Program Files\Allaire\JRun\servers\default
[ a path where server is installed ]
while I want to save it at directory
c:\testing\uploadfiles
How can I achieve this???
waiting for quick reply..
KasPak

here is a function for which u said,
protected void readAndSaveFile(MultipartInputStreamHandler in,
String boundary,
String filename,
String contentType) throws IOException
A utility method that reads a single part of the multipart request that represents a file, and saves the file to the given directory. A subclass can override this method for a better optimized or differently behaved implementation.
again saving a file, or uploading a file is no problem,
but saving a file at our desired location,
nd this can only be done if we know reall/absolute path of our application at server,
i-e we need an API which can tells the absolute path of our application.
e.g
our application url is http://kaspak/testcode
we need its absolute mapping to directory on server
e.g it it is at c:\testcode
if we get the absolute path then we can pass it in above function or in File class constructor.
isn't it??
I think in this way i can save file at other location.
But how i can get absolute path?????
thanks for ur reply,
nd waiting for ur reply again.

How can I change the log file path instead of storing log in server.log

Hi,
I have created one domain and modified the attribute "log-file" in element "virtual-server" element to point to the new log file path.
But when I start up my domain, it still saying: "Log redirected to DOMAIN_LOCATION/logs/server.log.
Why?
Why it doesn't log to the file I specify? How can I change it?
Thanks.
Ken

I have changed the logging option to my specific path in admin console as what you said. I have also changed the logging in domains attribute too.
But still there is some logging info in domains/<dom_name>/logs/server.log instead of the path and file I specified.
Is it possbily related to linux user role setting? the Sunone AS is installed and configured by root user. But the domain is created for another user, hence I want to forward all logging info to that user's home path.

How can I find the name and path of the host html page

Hi all,
I want to make a banner using flash. This banner will be
included in several pages in several domains.
So, I want to count the clicks and store statistical data,
calling an asp, and I want to get the host HTML page name which
includes my banner.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance

or you can use the localConnection class inside of flash....
it will return the domain name for you.
var lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
trace(lc.domain());

How can I extend the Vector class?

Hi All,
I'm trying to extend the Vector class so I can get add a .remove(item:T) method to the class. I've tried this:
public class VectorCollection extends Vector.<T>
That gives me the compile error "1017: The definition of base class Vector was not found"
So then I tried:
public class VectorCollection extends Vector
Which gives me the compile error "1016: Base class is final."
There must be some way to extend the Vector class, though, as on the Vector's official docs page it says:
Note: To override this method in a subclass of Vector, use ...args for the parameters, as this example shows:
public override function splice(...args) {
// your statements here
So there must be a way to extend the Vector class. What am I doing wrong?

No. AS3 doesn't currently have full support for generic types; Vector.<T> was added in an ad-hoc ("ad-hack"?) way. We are considering adding full support in a future version of ActionScript.

How can I get the full VI path of a step?

I can get the VI file name by with Step.TS.SData.ViCall.VIPath but is it possible to get the full path?
CLD (2014)

Hi,
TestStand uses relative paths, so it never actually stores the full path to the VI unless you specify an absolute path.
If you would like to find the full path of where it has been found, you can use the method Engine.FindFile or the expression function FindFile to find where TestStand is locating this file.

How can I include the document name/path in my printed Numbers doc?

Hello, Apple gurus...
So here's my (hopefully) easy question: is it possible to insert (and then print) a document's filename/path into the footer (or anywhere)? I want to be able to easily see where the file lives in the printed version of my Numbers doc. I've found discussions that recommend using menu INSERT > FILENAME, but I don't have those options.
Thanks!
Erik

In the new version of Numbers this option is not available. You will have to type the file name into the header yourself. You can post feedback to Apple using the menu item "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback"

How Can I get the Jar file path ?

I have an aplication in a Jar file. This application might be situated in any directory.
I would like to know programatically the path where it was installed.
Is there any way to know this simple thing in Java? I cannot believe that there is not a function like System.getProperty("user.dir") for this as System.getProperty("user.dir") will always return the directory from where the Java VM was lauched!
Thank you!

You can get the location with:
URL codeBase = getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeBase().getLocation();But as has been pointed out, it's probably better to specify the directory to store these files some other way, e.g. use a batch file or shell script to launch your program and make it the cuirrent directory, or put the directory in as a property or command argument.

How can I locate the 'Windows system path' with in java?

Hi,
Is it possible to locate the System path (usu x:\winnt\system32\) of the OS at run time? What classes and methods should I use?
Thanks in advance

You can't from pure java, that's a windows specific value that's stored in the registry. Sorry, you can get anything that's in the System.getPropeties() there are many usefule values in there like the user's home dir and the java runtime version and java home, but not the C:\winnt directory as a value. Sorry.

How can I change the java cache path - jre v. 1.6.0_03 ?

Hello,
Computer with OS Windows Vista Pro & JRE v. 1.6.0_03.
Standard path for the "java cache" is: c:\users\PCV\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Deployement\cache
Is it possible change it?
Many thanks for your feedback

The General tab, Temporary Internet Files, of the Java Control Panel allows this to be set.
I suspect that Vista's Security/ALC will be upset if you mode it to a different security zone, however.

How can I change the language of my German copy of Master Collection CS6

Hi there,
The full Master Collection Suite v6 I installed this weekend is in German, how do I change that to english for all 20+ applications?
it's driving me bonkers trying to find a fix so if anyone can help big hugz to yoU!
Eva

It turns out I didn't notice that "Deutsch" was ticked in the installation preference screen. I must have read that as "Dutch" and continued with the install. I unisntalled the whole thing and started over.
Thanks both of you for the tips about the language swap option! Right now I need to leave it on Dutch for my course work but after that I will try and swap to English which will be much easier for work.
Thanks so much for your help!
