Question about Finder thumbnails

A nice way of assigning custom thumbnails to items in Finder is by bringing up the Get Info panel of a given item, and pasting a copied image (either from the web or an image viewer) to the thumbnail editor in the top left corner.
However, something I've noticed is Finder's inconsistency with resolution. If I'm lucky, the thumbnail will retain the resolution of the copied image, so that no matter what size I readjust the items in a Finder window, the thumbnail will stay crisp. But a lot of the time, and sometimes as soon as the image has copied, Finder seems to decrease the resolution. A way of checking is to copy the thumbnail back from the Get Info panel and paste it into an image viewer. Lo and behold, the image is lower res.
Does anyone know if there is any way to control this and maintain high res thumbnails?
Thanks very much.

Hi, what format are the Pastes o begin with?
I think Finder/OSX prefers PNGs.

Question about Finder-Load-Beans flag

Hi all,
I've read that the Finder-Load-Beans flag could yield some valuable gains in performance
but:
1) why is it suggested to do individual gets of methods within the same Transaction
? (tx-Required).
2) this strategy is useful only for small sets of data, isn't it? I imagine I
would choose Finder-Load-Beans to false (or JDBC) for larger sets of data.
3) A last question: its default value is true or false ?
Thanks
Francesco

Because if there are different transactions where the get method is called
then the state/data of the bean would most be reloaded from the database. A
new transactions causes the ejbLoad method to be invoked in the beginning
and the ejbStore at the end. That is the usual case but there are other ways
to modify this behavior.
Thanks

Hi thorick,
I have found this in the newsgroup. It's from R.Woolen answering
a question about Finder-Load-Beans flag.
"Consider this case:
tx.begin();
Collection c = findAllEmployeesNamed("Rob");
Iterator it = c.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Employee e = (Employee) it.next(); System.out.println("Favorite color is:"+ e.getFavColor());
tx.commit();
With CMP (and finders-load-beans set to its default true value), thefindAllEmployeesNamed
finder will load all the employees with the name of rob. The getFavColormethods
do not hit the db because they are in the same tx, and the beans arealready loaded
in the cache.
It's the big CMP performance advantage."
So I wonder why this performance gain can be achieved when the iterationis inside
a transaction.
Thanks
regards
Francesco

If you know that you will be accessing the fields of all the Beans that
you get back from a
finder,
then you will realize a significant performance gain. If one selects
100s or more beans
using
a finder, but only accesses the fields for a few, then there may be some
performance cost.
It could
depend on how large some of the fields are. I'd guess that the cost
of 1 hit to the DB per
bean vs.
the cost of 1 + maybe 1 more hit to the DB per bean, would usually be
less. A performance
test using
your actual apps beans would be the only way to know for sure.
3) A last question: its default value is true or false ?The default is 'True'

Question about Find and Replace PL/SQL option in Forms Builder

Dear All
I have a small question .
I am using Find and Replace PLSQ/SQL in forms Builder ( Edit - Find and Replace PLSQL) to search any code in a form.
Let say I am searching for EMP .
Then all the places is coming where EMP is used as well as EMPloyee , EMPloyee_Desc tables also coming .
So is there any way to serach only the EMP part .

If you look closely to the right of the "Find What" field, you should see a button - "Expression". This allows you to add some logic to your search. Alternatively, depending on how you code, you could just look for spaces. For example, if you are looking for EMP and not EMPLOYEE, search for EMP with a blank space before and after it (assuming you code this way) or use something like this \bEMP\b This would work for me because I code the same way I write sentences - each work is separated by spaces.
<blockquote> EMPLOYEE := EMP || ' - ID';</blockquote>
In this example, seaching for EMP with a blank space after would find what I wanted. However, if you only search for a trailing blank, you may end up also finding words like tEMP. This is where have a blank space before each word is helpful.
Other, more valuable expressions could be written to accomplish your task. Refer to the Forms Builder Online help for more information about using Expressions in the Find and Replace search window.

Iphone 5s Lost/Stolen - Questions about Find my Phone on ios7

OK, I have done something very stupid but I need some advice anyway, will likely not ever get my phone back but I'm curious as to how it works.
1) I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s for travel.
2) I installed "find my phone" before leaving Canada
3) I came to China to live for 6 months and I inserted a China Unicom SIM card.
4) I purchased a cell phone plan that has basically no data
5) I then went into my settings and turned off Cellular Data for all apps (this was the stupid thing that I did without thinking).
Therefore, find my phone is off in Cellular Data. Last night my phone was lost and/or stolen. I immediately tried to use "find my phone." As soon as it said my device was offline I realized what I had done and how stupid it was. I did still set the lock and send it a messages so if for some reason it comes online it will be locked, but....here are my questions:
1) Will "find my phone" work over Wifi automatically if Cellular Data is off?
2) If my phone IS in the hands of a thief, is this even helpful? Could a thief just pop out my SIM card, insert their SIM card, somehow bypass my fingerprint/passcode (I know there are hacks for that) and then just turn off / disable Find My Phone? Because if they put in their SIM card and use 3G, but haven't started using Wifi yet, then "find my phone" won't be activated yet, correct?
3) So is my only hope to leave a thief with a worthless brick that they take the phone somewhere and try to use it on Wifi to set it up? IF they insert a new SIM and manage to hack my passcode, BUT they fail to deactivate "find my phone" and then they join a wireless network, would my phone immediately lock

Use Find My iPhone to track iPhone only if the following conditions are met:

Question about Finder file listing order when sorting by "Name"

I quite often add a suffix to some of my file names when I save them so that I can keep a complete history of changes. For example, I usually add "_000" at the end, and progress to "_001" through "_009". However after "_009" I don't increase the next digit to "_010" but instead, after "_009" comes "_00A" then "_00B" on to "_00Z" and then to "_010". I have been doing this for a while now (several years) and it has worked well for me.
I have noticed in the finder window, when in "List" view a file ending in "_00A" is listed lexicographically before a file ending in "009" instead of the other way around.
I think that this is due to my UNIX Locale being set to LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
1. Is this a correct assumption?
I would like it to be listed in POSIX order.
2. Is there a way I can make just specific folders list file names in POSIX order?
I was thinking of changing my Language to POSIX using the terminal command:
$ export LANG=POSIX
but this may have undesirable effects with the rest of Mac OS X.
3. Is there a finder preference (plist item) I can change so this just changes the listing order to POSIX? (I have no problem if all Finder windows use this sort order for file names.)
Thank you in advance.
Jeff Cameron

I don't know of a GUI way to change it or if you unix trick will work/do anything, but the Mac OS has always sorted that way, if I'm understanding you correctly. It looks at the entirety of the naming and puts 2 immediately after 1 instead of putting 10 there like Windows does (and Alpha comes before numeric).
I don't think the unix underpinnings changed sort order, but I may be remembering wrong. It's been a long time since OS 9. That's why I don't think the LANG switch will work.

Question about Finder Behavior

When I go to Finder/Go/Network, sometimes the Finder won't open the Network window, and when it does, the icons are won't stay in icon-view mode. Any ideas what the problem might be?
Also, when I run System Maintenance Scripts, will they clean up all the partitions? Thanks.

The maintenance scripts only run on the active startup volume. If you have other partitions that do not have OS X installed, then there's no need to run the maintenance scripts on those volumes. If you do have OS X installed on the other volumes, then you will have to start up from them to run the maintenance scripts on those volumes.
Note that with Tiger there's little need to force the maintenance scripts to run unless you turn off your computer. If the computer is simply put to sleep, then the scripts will be run automatically at or near that time. With Tiger and later OS X uses launchd to run the maintenance scripts and no longer relies on using cron. Though not significantly different in Leopard there are some improvements in this behavior over those in Tiger. See the following excerpt for The XLab FAQs FAQ on maintenance scripts:
*Scheduling under Tiger*
Under Tiger, the new launchd process invokes each script on a schedule specified in a script-specific property list (.plist file) in the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons directory. The specific property list for each script is as follows:
daily script: com.apple.periodic-daily.plist
weekly script: com.apple.periodic-weekly.plist
monthly script: com.apple.periodic-monthly.plist
How the timer used by launchd handles sleep time has led many to believe that they no longer need to run the maintenance scripts, and that the scripts are run automatically if the Mac was asleep or shutdown at the scheduled time, ala third-party utilities such as Anacron. However, this is untrue.
While it may appear that launchd executes the maintenance scripts "on the fly" if the computer is asleep or shutdown at the appointed time, this is a side effect of how the timer treats time the computer has spent in sleep mode. The timer used by launchd does not count sleep time. If your Mac is asleep at the scheduled time at which a given script is supposed to run, the script may run later that day, at a time shifted by the amount of time the Mac was asleep. However, if you restart your Mac before the time-shifted execution time, pending events are lost and the script will not run off-schedule: the next chance for the script to run will be at its regularly scheduled time.
If you regularly restart your Mac and the computer regularly sleeps or is shutdown at the scheduled times, it's possible that the scripts will never run, hence one should still run them manually, say on a weekly basis.
The sleep time shift is also cumulative. For example, if you don't restart your Mac for weeks or months at a time, but let it sleep when not in use, this can result in:
The daily script running once every few days or never.
The weekly script once every few weeks or never.
The monthly script once every few months or never.
The time shift in each case is the total amount of time the Mac has spent in sleep since its last restart. If you have a process that writes heavily to the logs, you can wind up devoting good hard disk space to the log files.

Question about finder-building

hi once again, new mac user, new macbook pro. when i click on 'finder' in the upper left corner, scroll down to 'services' it just has 1 greyed out section that says "building...". what does that mean and what should be showing there?

Like you, I had the Services "Building", and it never stopped building over a few days. Then I turned the computer off and rebooted - now Services are no longer building. However, for every application, I'm getting "No Services Apply" - no matter what I do within Services Preferences and checking and unchecking boxes.
(And the search through the forums continues for a solution... I did find one help message from Apple that suggests reinstalling the OS. That option doesn't appeal.)

REGEX: question about finding Overlapping matches using regular expressions

I have the following problem.
Say for my pattern I use:
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("AAA");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher("AAAAAA");when I run a loop
while (matcher.find())
System.out.println("Match Found: "+matcher.start()+" "+matcher.end());I get 2 Hits shown in the following output:
Match Found: 0 3
Match Found: 3 6
therefore the regex is seeing the first AAA then the second AAA.
I want it to find the other AAA's in there that are overlapping the other two finds i.e. I want the output to find
AAA from 0 to 3
AAA from 1 to 4
AAA from 2 to 5 and finally
AAA from 3 to 6
thereby including the overlapping finds.
How can I do this using regex? what am I missing that prevents the overlapping matches to be found? Do I need a quantifier?
Thanks for the help!

While the solutions above work fine with the given input, they don't really find all overlapping matches. They just find the longest possible match at each start position. Here's a more thorough approach:import java.util.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
public class Test
public static List<String> matchAllWays(String rgx, String str)
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile(rgx);
    Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
    List<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
    int len = str.length();
    int start = 0;
    int end = len;
    while (start < len && m.region(start, len).find())
      start = m.start();
      do
        result.add(m.group());
        end = m.end() - 1;
      } while (end > start && m.region(start, end).find());
      start++;
    return result;
public static void main(String[] args)
    List<String> matches = matchAllWays("a.*a", "abracadabra");
    System.out.println(matches);
}This approach requires JDK 1.5 or later; that's when the regions API was added to Matcher.

Hallo,
in general, yes, but I think , it will be better without cursor:
declare
v_dummy number;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'select 1 from dual where
exists (select 1 from user_indexes where index_name = : ind_name) USING ''DOUGLASMYINDEX'
INTO v_1;
-- something
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
NULL;
END;
Is it necessary to perform it in dynamic SQL ?
declare
v_dummy number;
BEGIN
select 1 into v_1 from dual where
exists (select 1 from user_indexes where index_name = ''DOUGLASMYINDEX''')
INTO v_1;
-- something
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
NULL;
END;

Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”… If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine...

General Question about SAP Documentation. Where to find?

Hello,
I am relatively new in the SAP business and so I have some general questions about the SAP Documentation.
Often internet-links like
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/FIBP/FI-AP-AP-PT.pdf
are posted here by group members.
But where do these group members find these documents?
All I can see at help.sap.com is IDES (the model company created by SAP)and the WWW-version of the SAP-Bibliothek.
Were can I find these PDF-Files?
I would appreciate any hint and tip!
Thank you!

No, dude, if this guy can use it, so can most of his other neighbors. Let's point out a few things:
1. This is very poor security, not to mention irresponsible of the neighbor to open his wireless to every person and pervert in his neighborhood!
2. This guy still has NO control over who's using is, so of course bandwidth will be affected
3. Until the neighbor locks it down to just 2 people, of course it will be slow
Let's start using our brains before we have the poor guy start deleting plists, getting the apple broadband utility, rebuilding his O/S, reinstalling the combo updates and/or repairing permissions (good one!) .... he simply has NO control over the speed of that which he's using/stealing.
