How do I specify an external viewer for animation?

I occasionally receive PDF files that have accompanying animations (.avi, etc) that Adobe acrobat reader 9.4.1 expects to play using an external viewer.
On one of my computers (Linux, KDE), it launches xine.  On another (also Linux, KDE), it launches noatun.
How do I specify which external viewer it should launch?

This is handled through file associations defined in the OS. Adobe Reader is simply passing the file off to the OS.
In your file manager/desktop, find a plain AVI file, right click on it to get the contextual menu. You should be able to set your preferred associated program from there.

  • How can I specify an area path for the work item created on build failure?

    In our department we are working with multiple build definitions for different parts of one Team project. We heavily use the Team Project feature. Teams are defined by area path nodes, so each team can only see it's area path. No one (except the admins)
    can see the root project node.
    When a build breaks, TFS generates a Bug. Unfortunately, this bug is assigned to the area path root node, so nobody can see the generated bug and act on it.
    We would prefer to specify the area path for the generated work item in the build definition (not template, but property of a build definition), as every build belongs exclusively to one team.
    I have found that you can populate fields of the generated work item by filling the "custom fields" of the "create work item" activity. But how do I set the area path as a parameter?

    You should set the value like below in that activity:

  • How Do I use my External Drive for my iTunes Library without adding anything to my Mac's HD?

    I have a new MBP and have transferred all of my music off my old pc (250+ gigs) to a Lacie 1TB thunderbolt external drive.  How do I use the external as my primary itunes library with out using any of my Mac's HD?  I'm new to mac so I have a few more questions...
    1. The initial question above
    2. will this work or will there be extra steps every time I disconnect and connect the external (other than ejecting)?
    3. Will I be able to access it remotely / home sharing?
    4.  Would this work with itunes match?
    Thanks All  !!!

    I haven't set up Time Machine yet because it wants me to completely format my external hard drive, and it seems to want to use it for TM backups exclusively?
    However, I would also like to use it to store stuff that I don't want to keep on my computer, eg tons of photos, videos, stuff from my sister's computer, etc.
    Is there a way to do Time Machine but also use the external hard drive for storage? I don't mind temporarily copying the photos etc that are on there to my computer while I format, so that's not the issue. I just don't want my EHD rendered completely useless to everything else.
    Thanks!!!
    There are several ways to do exactly this.
    If you partition the external drive, you can use one partition for TM and the other for anything else.
    Even if you do not partition the drive, you can safely store other data in folders on the drive. Just to not use the folder that TM creates for anything. And it's best not to put files directly on the drive, in my opinion, but use folders for storage.
    Just remember that whatever you put on the drive takes up room from TM and when the drive gets nearly full, TM will start automatically deleting older files from it's own folder.
    I have my Tiger clone on my external TM drive in a separate partition and everything works fine.

  • How to best partition an external drive for my purposes?

    Hello, please help,
    I've just bought a Western Digital 'My Passport' 320Gb USB (no firewire) portable external harddrive for backing up my data prior to iMac repair.
    I also plan to totally wipe my PPC iMac and reinstall it with Leopard.
    I erased the external HD, zeroing out the data from it's previous owner, and reformatted it as Mac OS Extended (not journaled).
    Now I realise that it might be even more useful than I'd imagined.
    I'd now like to partition it so I can use Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable copy of my entire iMac while using the rest of the drive as a separate partition for just backing up data.
    Ideally I want to be able to use the drive on both Intel and PPC Macs and even PCs, is this possible? How should I format the drive to achieve this?
    I've heard I should format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) HFS+, what ever that is
    I'm currently running OS 10.4.11 but plan to buy Leopard and install that after the wipe.

    17" 1.9Ghz iMac G5 (iSight)
    I've just bought a Western Digital 'My Passport' 320Gb USB (no firewire)
    I'd now like to partition it so I can use Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable copy of my entire iMac while using the rest of the drive as a separate partition for just backing up data.
    Ideally I want to be able to use the drive on both Intel and PPC Macs and even PCs, is this possible? How should I format the drive to achieve this?
    For what you want to do, there is a mismatch between your PPC computer and the external drive that you bought.
    With a few exceptions, a PPC Mac requires a firewire external drive for booting and will not boot from a USB drive, regardless of which OS is installed and regardless of the partition scheme and volume format on the drive. I also have an iMac G5, and mine will not boot from USB.
    If you do exchange your drive for a firewire drive, do not get another Western Digital model to use with your G5 - many external WD firewire drives will not boot a PPC mac. See [this page|http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1787]
    If you want to keep your present USB drive, you can still partition it with one partition for a backup clone and another for "other stuff". With respect to immediate use for recovering your stuff after a clean Leopard install on the HD, I think that Migration Assistant will still work, though I haven't tried this. As for the future, the problems with a clone not being bootable are 1) You can't test it to see if it works OK, and 2) If you do need to restore from it you'd need to boot from "somewhere else" - I think you could boot from an install disk and use Disk Utility's Restore feature to clone it back.
    With regard to PC access, a PPC mac normally requires an Apple Partition Map partition scheme on the drive for booting, and such a scheme does not allow for the FAT32 volume format that is readable by PCs. However in this case since your PPC mac can't boot from it anyway, you could partition the drive as GUID. This would allow the main volume to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for the nonbootable clone, and would allow the extra volume to be formatted as FAT32. If you eventually got an Intel Mac, a clone from it to the main volume would also then be bootable.
    But what I would do, if feasible, is exchange the USB drive and get a non-WD firewire drive instead.

  • Specifying different initial views for different users in ALV web dynpro

    Hi Friends,
    I need to have 2 different initial view for my web dynpro application eg: View1 and View2. There will 2 group of users using the respective Views. However the first group should not be able to see other view(View2) and vice versa.
    Please tell me whether it is possible and if yes then how to do it.
    Regards,
    Saud

    Hi,
    the ALV component has a public attribute - R_COMPONENT which is of type ref to IF_SALV_WD_COMPONENT_TABLE
    you can call GET_PERSONALISATION on this reference to return a reference to the interface IF_SALV_WD_COMP_TABLE_PERS. This in turn has a method - SET_STANDARD_VIEW.
    I think that this should allow you to set which ever view you want.
    Hope it helps,

    I know how to specifry the install directory for the "public install directory" for the JRE, but what about the JDK directory? I don't want to put it on the "C" drive .

    I know the answer.
    You can use something like this: jre-6-rc-windows-i586.exe /s INSTALLDIR=D:\java\jre
    Then JRE is installed into D:\java\jre

  • How do you host your external videos for good interactive PDF playback? Recommendation needed.

    I'm trying to find out a good solution for adding externally hosted video content to an interactive PDF.
    I understand that Vimeo/YouTube is out so I'm hoping to host content with a dedicated (payed service) video host.
    Does anyone have a recommendation of a good video host for this purpose or indeed any tips/pitfalls in doing it this way?
    The document needs to be lightweight so I can't embed videos.
    Thanks!

    I use iDefrag.
    http://coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php
    The also have a program called iPartition that does non-destructive partitioning very well. Coriolis Systems seems to do an excellent job writing their software in a way that respects OS X. Check out their website for a demo and a list of features.
    I use the online defrag (it's quick and easy) once a week or so, and every three weeks or month I run a full defrag. To do a full defrag you need to either start up from another drive with iDefrag on it (I use my external Firewire drive) or burn a CD using the included utility to start up from.
    I've been very impressed with this software and have found it invaluable for installing BootCamp on some laptops that had fairly full HDs where otherwise Boot Camp would say it couldn't partition.
    iDefrag also optimizes the order of files on the disk and places metadata at the start of the drive for quick access. You can specify or create custom optimization algorithims if you have particular needs that vary from the norm.

  • In LV, using TS API, how do I specify the VI module for a Pass/Fail step?

    I am writing a LabView VI which will let a user write a TestStand sequence. Each step in the seq is the same type, a Pass/Fail test. I need to specify for each step the LabView VI module location, and an input buffer. I am having difficulty finding out how to specify the module for the step using the TestStand API in LabView. How to do this????

    Hi Drew,
    I think Dennis might have come at this from the wrong angle.
    Have a look at the example that ships with TestStand under
    \Examples\SequenceBuilderTool\LabVIEW
    This might give some clues, but I'd suggest posting this question over to the TestStand discussion Forum as suggested by Dennis.
    There'll be a few more people there who can help a bit more in-depth
    My personal suggestion is to create a custom step type that calls the .vi's and then you can create the steps in a new sequence file using your tool easily. This could be cumbersome for you if you already have a lot of steps setup.
    Better then to create a resource to get the steps out of to clone them by creating a sequence file which is full of your steps. When you have a handl
    e to a cloned step, you can change properties about it in memory, before putting it into the sequence (i.e. change it's name and stuff)
    Otherwise you need to get the type and create a new step of this type.
    If all you're stugling with is the module to call, then for the step you have a handle to, change the
    you can either change the "Step.TS.SData.ViPath" as a string (TestStand set property value String with a reference to the sequence_context) or if you wanted to bring up the specify module dialog, if you have a handle to the step itself, call the method SpecifyModule.
    Hope that helps
