What determines whether or not a thumbnail image of first page of PDF is shown in Win. Explorer

In the bottom details pane of Windows Explorer, the PDF can be shown as either just a PDF icon or a thumbnail image of the first page of the PDF.
What aspect of the PDF file determines what is shown, and how is this changed (if possible) in Acrobat?

Neither PDF (the file format) nor Acrobat / Adobe Reader are involved with the "preview" an OS file browser might provide. When present it is provided by the OS. To learn more about the whole thing some web searches will yield a generous population of links to information.

What determines whether 3D is supported on a given platform?

I'm using the 2.0 beta (build 34) on Windows 7... when I call Platform.isSupported( ConditionalFeature.SCENE3D ), I get a result of 'false'.
What determines whether or not 3D is supported on a given platform?

I just found the resolution to my problem in Jira, at: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-14415

What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window but in other cases, both the label and caption appear in the context help window?

I am trying to polish an application, and find that I cannot seem to reliably control which of the label or caption text appears in the context help window because I don't understand what rules are in place to determine which should appear. It seems like if I reate a named constant, then use it's right click menu command "Create Indicator" I get a control with only a Label (as long as I don't add a caption). This then appears in the context help window as the label name followed by the description text (after entering some description text). But if I add a caption, the label name is shown in bracket
s which is a 'feature' I would like to avoid, because I have certain controls where I would like to use a descriptive variable name on the block diagram side without using so much space on the front panel. It seems like there is no way to avoid showing the Label name in the context help for a control/indicator. Is this true?
I thought the purpose of having a seperate caption was to make the text that appears with a control programmatically controllable, but if that control is not extended to what appears in the context help window, it limits the usefulness of the caption and forces me to re-consider some Label names. However, the problem goes deeper than that because then even when I make the label and caption exactly the same, or if I delete (via a select caption text-backspace or select caption text- delete key .. sequence) the caption for a control, the label name in the context help window still appears in square brackets!
Can I have complete control over the context help fo
r a particular control (or has anyone found a third-party context help solution that functions compatibly with LabVIEW 7 in a built application that they will be so kind as to recommend?)
I have used LabVIEW for three years, and I am now using LabVIEW 7.0.

Sorry for that.. I was changing the text of my question and didn't read carefully enough in the preview stage. I wanted it to read "What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window?"

How to Quickly Determine Whether or not Specific Hotfixes or Updates are Installed?

I have a handful of applications that require specific hotfixes or updates to be installed. An excellent example of this is Internet Explorer 11 which has
9 prerequisites. (well only 6 are required, the remaining 3 prerequisites provide a better experience.)
Is there a reliable & fast way of checking for whether or not a specific hotfix and/or patch/update has been installed?
I am aware of `wmic qfe` but
According to
this, it will only "retrieve updates for Windows OS itself and its components (such as Windows Internet Explorer (IE) or Windows Server roles and features)"
Even if I'm checking for just 1 hotifx, it takes roughly 6 seconds to retrieve that information. When we're checking for dozen or two hotfixid's that quickly adds up. `Measure-Command {wmic qfe where "hotfixid='kb982018'"}` So
for IE11, we're looking at nearly 1 minute of waiting. Nonsense.
Note: I'm not asking "is my system patched?" nor am I asking for a report of installed patches. I could use WSUS, SCCM, MBSA and a multitude of other solutions for that. I need something scriptable that will install a specific prerequisite
at runtime, so I'm looking for a batch/vbscript/powershell solution that'll be quick, like 1 second quick, not 5+ per KB.

Thanks. I'm no expert. I don't have a slew of characters before or after my name. This isn't an I'm right/you're wrong situation. I don't claim to know everything - just trying to mitigate the questions I know I'm going to be asked.
Prior to posting, I saw
your post here (which is great I might add) which works, and it will work for determining whether or not a machine has a specific update/hotfix installed. But it consistently took 6 seconds to retrieve a single result on our assets. This
was on a Core i7 with 8GB and an SSD running Windows 8.1 Pro. This doesn't bode well for our day-to-day systems which are Core 2 Duo's with 4GB and spindle disks. Unless my math is wrong, if I'm checking for all 6 possible required IE11 prereqs
thats 36 seconds of wait time just for WMI queries. I'm just shocked it takes so long which made me wonder whether or not there was a faster retrieval method.
Why would I think there's a faster method? The closest example I can think of might be a software install. Sure, I can query WMI, but that too takes a while. But I could a
`reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{product code}` or `reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox 29.0.1 (x86 en-US)`
then check errorlevel to determine if the product was installed, right? Or take it a step further & check the `/v Version` to make sure it matches what I expect it to be, right? We don't have fancy tools here like Altiris or SCCM
:( Reg query just appears to be significantly faster than wmic/gwmi in that specific scenario. That gave me hope there
might be a faster option for checking for installed updates & hotfixes.
IE11
tries to install the proper prerequisites. If that fails, they'll have to be done manually.
And it just so happens that the IE11 install
does fail in our environment when we don't install the manually. Fortunately we're not ready to deploy IE11, so there's no rush to push IE11. I was merely using IE11 as an example because by virtue of the articles existence, this
is a possible real-world scenario. If I know that we can safely regression test the 6 patches for IE11, and just have it be an optional installation for the users that want or need it, then I can add the prerequisite logic to the script to help ensure
a successful installation. Again, an IE11 deployment isn't the goal here. IE11 is just the example.

What determine whether I see 'keep both' or 'skip/stop/replace' as options when moving files??

Recently I've rolled over the file numbers on my camera again, so moving new photos around often causes filename conflicts: 'An item named "_XXX1234.jpg" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving?"
What controls whether I see "Keep both files" as an option (where Finder just adds a 2 suffix to the filename of the newer item being added) vs "skip/stop/replace"?
When I'm trying to copy distinct new items with duplicate filenames, I want to use 'keep both files'; when I'm grabbing a mass of files, moving to a common storage place, and want only the new files to copy over, so that finder does the hard work of figuring out which ones are new/missing from the new folder, I want the option of 'skip' instead.

The option-click 'copy file' does not change the dialog box from just clicking and dragging without option--still only seeing the skip/stop/replace.
I do use iPhoto, but find the file structure does not follow my patterns of use, so do not let it organize the files--for those many, inevitable times when I want to access the images directly without having to export the images first. I also have Adobe Bridge, which has a file renaming feature. But I started seeing this option of 'keep both' recently--I think since my install of Mavericks when 10.9.3 came out, and determined it does something very helpful to me, but can't figure out how to make it show up consistently. For some things it would be nicer than always just making a new iPhoto library when the file numbers start over again.

HTML Code will not generate Thumbnail image.

For Months I have been using this html code to generate a thumbnail image on on of the pages on my site. It essentially creates a player for the podcasts that I create on www.buzzsprout.com. Buzz sprout our the ones that provide the html code to put on your site.
Here is the code: <script src="http://www.buzzsprout.com/XXXXX.js?player=large&limit=1" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>.
The XXXXX in the code represent the numbers for the individuals podcast page where the podcasts are displayed once they have been uploaded to their site. Soon after the latest update I have been unable to generate a thumbnail image on my site using this code. Why is that?

I am not sure what you mean be sharing a sample project. The website in question is www.ccont.com. Can't you create a page and paste the html code on it and see if it generates a thumbnail image. Use this html code that include my account number: <script src="http://www.buzzsprout.com/22782.js?player=large&limit=1" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

JEditorPane - Determining whether it is in the middle of a page load or not

Hello,
I would like to ask if it is possible (and how) one would go about determining whether a JEditorPane has finished its loading sequence of an HTML page.
At the moment I implement a property change listener (which works fine, as when I load a page, the status bar changes and does the rest) what I want now is (as I have implemented tabbed browsing) is to determine whether a page is a)Loaded or b)Loading and set the status bar to reflect this whenever I change tabs.
The only problem I seem to have is I can't seem to find a method which returns (I would imagine) a boolean saying 'True or False' to a page load.
Thanks,
Reacz

Your listener should receive a second, "page" property change event when the document has finished loading (the first is a "document" property change event). If you have received a document property change but not a page property change, then the document is still loading. Look at the javadoc for JEditorPane.setPage(URL) for details...

Method to determine whether or not the main clip is playing

Is there an AS3 method that will return whether or not the swf has been paused? I tried to google this but I'm not getting anything.

I have no familiarity with Captivate. Isn't there any ability for the captivate button to indicate that the pause has been executed? Maybe you should try posting in the Captivate forum.

InDesign CS 5.5 does not print out image, just blank page

I am printing to a Lexmark and when I print something from InDesign it will not print the image out. Sometimes it prints a blank page, sometimes it prints the border of the image, sometimes it actually prints the image. It is very intermittent but the majority of the time it doesnt print the image I am trying to print. I have tried messing with the printers and print drivers but nothing has worked. Is there something in InDesign that is wrong?

As I said, sometimes ID and a particular printer driver don't interact well. Printing directly is not really a primary function from ID and it is what it is. Printing from PDF is faster and more reliable 99.9% of the time, presuming you export the PDF correctly. A good place to start, if you aren't doing color management iin the ID print dialog, would be to use the PDF/X-4 preset.

Safari Not Displaying All Images On Web Page

When I look at a web page in Safari on my iPhone 3GS, not all of the images on the page load. Instead, I see little blue squares with question marks in them. However, if I look at the same web page on an iPhone 4, the images DO load. Why is this happening?
Here are two screenshots to prove my point:

Script that worked in CS does not work in CS4 - multiple open page, print , pdf export and close

I had a script that worked great for me in Indesign CS. But now does not work in CS4. Anyone knows what needs to be done to make it work again ?
When I drop folder with indesign files on top of this script:
1. opens first page
2. turns specific layer on
3. prints using preset
4. exports using preset
5. close without saving
6. next page
Anyone who can give me solution or idea how this should work is greatly appreciated.
on open sourceFolders
repeat with sourceFolder in sourceFolders
tell application "Finder"
try
-- If you would like to include subfolders, you say - every file of entire contents of folder…
set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias list
on error -- work around bug if there is only one file
set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias as list
end try
end tell
if idFiles is not {} then
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set user interaction level to never interact
repeat with i from 1 to count of idFiles
open item i of idFiles

with timeout of 700 seconds
export format PDF type to "users:temp:Desktop:pdf:" & myName & ".pdf" using myPreset1 without showing options -- set path here format ComputerName:Folder1:Folder2:......:FileName.pdf
end timeout
close without saving
end tell
end repeat
set user interaction level to interact with all
end tell
end if
return 10 -- try again in 10 seconds
end repeat
end open

(Disclaimer: me not an AS guy!)
First thing I noticed is the interaction level is set off. If you comment out this line
set user interaction level to never interact
you might be able to pinpoint the exact error -- ID will display a standard "failed" dialog, hopefully showing the line that it fails on.
A quick question: the script assumes two presets in your InDesign: one for print ("letter size") and one for PDFs ("pdf preset name"):
set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
Do these actually exist in your CS4, with the same (non)capitalization and spaces?

Notes - what determines whether they are stored in the inbox or not?

Hello - I have two IMAP accounts, both set to display Mail notes in their respective inboxes. However, if I create a new note within desktop Mac Mail, it is always placed within the 'On My Mac' category and does not appear in either inbox, even if I have the inbox open at the time. Am rather confused by this - can anyone shed any light?

Depends on your settings. If you go to Mail -> Preferences -> Composing -> Create Notes And To Dos In
This is how it will work. Mine is currently set to be created on whichever section I'm under.
At least for me it will also only save the note if there is data in it or it is the only note available on that account.

Re eBooks added to an iPad, what determines whether it will be sync'd back to iTunes?

I'm trying to figure out the rules of the road for back-syncing from an iOS device such as an iPad and the iTunes.app on a Mac or Win desktop machine. In particular, I am interested in ePub-based eBooks gotten from sources other than the iBookstore. There are a number of possibilities:
o Sideloading to the iOS device via iTunes.app with "Manually manage music and videos" selected. With this setting, one can drag and drop an eBook onto the device in the Devices listing in iTunes.app. The ePub files transferred to an iOS device this way do not seem to be sync'd back to the iTunes.app on MacOS X regardless of the status of the "Manually manage ..." setting. The Calibre eBook library management app has a similar direct transfer function.
o Using Safari for iOS, one can tap on a hyperlink to an eBook on a properly configured HTTP server (proper MIME Type declared for the .epub suffix) and be prompted to hand it off to iBooks or another app that iOS thinks might be able to handle it. The ePub files transferred to an iOS device this way appear to get synched back to iTunes.app on the MacOS X desktop if "Manually manage ..." is not selected.
o I don't believe that the iBooks.app supports OPDS catalogs so that's not a point of entry. Anyone know otherwise? However, there is an iOS app called "eBook Search" that does and it will hand off ePub documents located in OPDS catalogs to iBooks using the same interface as Safari on iOS.
o An iTunes U public site via the Podcasts.app or an iTunes U Course via the iTunes U.app will download ePub books and hand them off to iBooks.
There are probably more ways than I have discovered to get ePub documents into the iBooks.app on iOS without involving either the iBookstore or the iTunes.app. So the question is, "What do I tell my students who are on a scavenger hunt for free, unencumbered (no DRM) ePub documents? They will want to know what will happen after they get them on their iOS devices? Under what circumstances will they be kept, erased, copied back to iTunes.app (or iCloud) and so on?
I have not yet found any Apple documentation on this important question. Any leads will be appreciated.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost.
