3 Must have features for front-end developers

I'm a front-end developer, so these requests are more or less specific to my job.
Selecting an entire layer
Currently: If you do a "ctrl-click" on a layer, it selects the layer. However, if you have filters or effects applied to the layer, it does not select those.
The Problem: Since I cannot select the filters/effects, I have to zoom in on say a button with a drop shadow. I've been using png's heavily in my sites these days, and I want the drop shadow to be on a transparent background. It's difficult to zoom in and find the end of the drop shadow. You can change the transparency grid colors to help out, but it's still difficult and more importantly tedious and time consuming.
What I want: I would like the ability to select everything on a layer by doing a "shift-ctrl-click" or something. That way if I make a button with a drop shadow, I can select the button and the filters/effects that are applied to it. This would also give me the correct size of the layer as well, which is helpful information to me during html/css layout.
Organizing Groups/Layers
Currently: You can create groups from layers, or create a group then drag the layer into the group.
The Problem: When a PSD starts to get alot of layer/groups, it gets difficult to organize. If I create a new layer, or duplicate a layer group, my next step is to drag that group or layer into the proper group. My PSDs get very long, especially on homepage comps. I have to scroll up and down in the layers window to hunt for my group. Once I find the group I have to drag my new layers into it. This is annoying and clumsy.
What I want: I want to simply right-click on any layer, group, selected layers, or linked layers and in the right click menu, there should be a "send to" option. The send to should have a tree of the current groups. Then just choose the group you want and the layers/groups etc move there.
This will save me alot of time especially since my designers are lazy and don't organize things properly.
Copying layers/groups to other documents
Currently: To copy a layer/group from one file to another you have to take your files out of tab mode, then select, click and drag the layers/groups from one document to another.
The Problem: I really enjoy tab mode, and it seems pointless to have to drag the layers/groups from one file to another. There needs to be more ways to accomplish this.
What I want: I want to stay in tab mode, select my layers/groups and drag them to the tab I want to copy them to. So if I select a button, I should be able to simply drag it to another open file tab and it should copy those layers/groups to that file. Or another option would be to right click on the selected layers/group and do a have a "copy to" option where you can select another open document to send the layers/groups to.

You can "send" layers & groups to another document with duplicate to the target document. Simply right-click the source layers in the Layers panel, choose Duplicate Layer...
and in Destination, select the target document. No un-docking and dragging.

Must have features for all new nokia phones

To the technical and design team  Security feature Add a window for personal details for owner of the phone. Where one cannot use the phone the first time till they have input all this data and they can only change or remove it with a unique password provided on the CD Rom. This info should be tamper proof no matter what and should be displayed whenever phone is switched on and off.  Solar powered: Why not have the screen work as a solar panel or include a small panel on the side of the phone to charge it without necessarily leaving the phone out in the sun to charge. For customers in the tropics where the sun is all round the year and where power is scarce, this would really connect them.  Compass/Gps systems Having any of these features will be excellent for when one travels wherever; they won’t loose their sense of direction.  FM Radio Some of the phones have this but it should become standard feature but the catch here should be an integrated aerial so the one does not require connecting the handsfree in order to listen to the radio but have an option of both the phone speaker(just like the Nokia 630 speaker) Also can the handsfree have backlit screen and control just like those of a walkman or portable CD player? For big size phones beginning with 6630 up wards, this kind of handsfree would be handy as it will show missed calls, you can actually read you inbox messages and scroll through the phone book or mails as you speak to someone else without removing your phone from the pouch.  Twin Sims So many network available and most of them have not embraced the idea of offering double sim cards or two numbers of different networks on one simcard. Why not two slots on the side of the phone those use the hot swap system just like that of the MMC on the Nokia 6630 that can accommodate two simcards. Let these simcards be both active at any one time. Switching off and on of the phone frequently has an effect on the battery and this is what we mostly do/ or carry 2 – 3 phones around. I think having this feature will be excellent.

I agree and most big companies do as they used these as business fones.
I cant understand why such a good handset was discontinued without not bringing out an updated model.
Some years ago carfone warehouse managed to get hold of quite a few of them but sold out very quickley.
Now u can get them on sites that deal in refurbished models which im a bit wary of.
Come on Nokia bring out a limited edition. Message Edited by bandofbrothers on 11-Jan-2007

> It's barely functional.
Ryan,
How is it more "functional" to create a thread open to any and every feature request subject--with no organization to it at all?
One of the reasons the Feature Request sub-forum becomes "useless" is the insistence of some people to create such ill-conceived catch all threads.
How is anyone served by a "whatever comes," batch of individuals' feature request lists
within the feature request forum--with no more subject organization than "This is the grab-bag that was started by some guy with a screen name of Rydog23"?
Don't you understand that for anyone to get any use out such a thread, they would have to read each and every post in it to see if a particular feature idea has already been mentioned?
What more assured way is there for a good idea (should one be suggested) to fall into a "black hole"?
Please stop creating these ridiculous no-subject grab-bag threads.

Must Have Accessories For GT 683 R?

What are some must have accessories for a new MSI GT 683 R laptop?

For example gtx570m card to replace the gtx460m or gtx560m. That thing would rock all the competitors on the market.
I'm sure a lot of people would go for such a possibility.

Need a power shell command for Front End fail over?

We have a Lync 2013 infrastructure with 2 front ends and 2 edges.
The environment was setup by a partner and the servers were configured for failover in case one goes down in the pool.
However the last time windows updates were applied and the primary FE had to be restarted, the secondary FE did not automatically switch over as the active server and it caused a companywide outage.
In speaking with the contractor, they said that well no it would not automatically do this, you need to run a Lync PowerShell to have it switch over.
My BS radar went off, but I wanted to ask you if this sounds right or is possible.
If it must be done, could you give me the power shell command.
Thanks

Hi,
Did you solve the issue with the help of the people above provided?
If you use a Lync server Enterprise edition, it is recommended to deploy at least three FE servers.
If you use two Lync server Standard edition for DR,
when one of the servers fails in the Pool Pair, the administrator need to manually failover the pool to the other member of the Pool Pair using the
command: Invoke-CsPoolFailover -PoolFQDN <Pool1 FQDN> -DisasterMode -Verbose
The Automatic failover and failback for
Voice option and the associated time intervals in Topology Builder apply only to the voice resiliency features that were introduced in Lync Server 2010. Selecting this option does not imply that the pool failover discussed in this document is automatic.
Pool failover and failback always require an administrator to manually invoke the failover and failback.
You can refer to the link below about how to failover a pool:

Does it help, yes and no. FYI, we are running Enterprise Edition front ends for our single pool. The new environment was setup as a proof of concept and we installed the bare minimum # of servers at the time.
The articles suggested from above pretty much just say if one of your FE's goes down, bring it back up as soon as possible. Both of our FE's need windows updates applied ASAP and it could an hour or more (likely). Here is a quote from the article:
If for some reason you need to bring both servers down at the same time, do the following when the downtime for the pool is finished:
The best practice is to restart both Front End Servers at the same time.
If the two servers cannot be restarted at the same time, you should bring them back up in the reverse order of the order they went down.
If you cannot bring them back up in that order, then use the following cmdlet before bringing the pool back up:
Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -ResetType QuorumLossRecovery -PoolFQDN <FQDN>
The last time the main FE went down for service, we left the secondary FE on but there was still an outage. Then brought back the formerly active FE fist and service was restored. Basically I need to know how to switch the passive to the active
node before/while the primary is offline. And if required once both FE's are back up, to switch the service from the secondary that became active, back to the primary server as it was before. Make sense? Perhaps I'm still missing something
after reading the articles. The powershell commands list just updating the topology after both servers come back online.

What are the must have apps for Snow Leopard

Just downgraded from Mavericks to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Just can't stand the frequent beach balls. Was wondering what are the must have apps that are still being updated by the developers?

Most of the apps that comes with OSX 10.6 are not being updated anymore. It would be great if you could recommend apps that are still being updated for security, stability etc for the following:
1. Email
2. Browsing
3. Office Suite (like iWork)
4. To do List
5. Photo Editor
6. P2P / File Sharing
I am aware that there are reviews in the net for best apps, but I am interested to learn what people in this community have used personally and suggest.
Cheers

Output for front end

Hi,
I've attended an interview on SQL and PL/SQL yesterday. Being a fresher I prepared only basic concepts. But I was posted a question regarding output for the front end application. The question is
"I'm having an exception in a function from a package. Now I can get that in backend using dbms_output.put_line. Tell me how the front end guy will come to know about the error/exception"
Please answer me

>
"I'm having an exception in a function from a package. Now I can get that in backend using dbms_output.put_line. Tell me how the front end guy will come to know about the error/exception"
>
Your question isn't clear.
You can't get the exception in the back end using dbms_output unless you have an exception handler in the function. Then you can use dbms_output to capture the error code and message and use put_line to write it to a buffer.
It is up to the code calling the function to request the text from the buffer.
If you asking how a tool like sql*plus can get the dbms_output text then use SET SERVEROUTPUT ON and when the package function completes all DBMS_OUTPUT text will display.

Must have applications for Symbian 3.

Thank You.

There is NOTHING like 'Must have' applications. Its solely user dependant.. An application extremely useful to one user may be totally useless for you and vice-versa... Best is to search on OVI Store or Google and decide yourself..

Must have scripts for a DBA

Hi All,
My requirment may sound a bit vauge but i want to know what all are the scripts a Oracel DBA must have?
Scripts which are releated to monitoring,maintenance and performance realetd.
Kindly shre the same, if you have the same.
BR
Sphinx

hi sphinx,
that is like asking a cook to tell you all the receipts and tools for his favourite dishes.
Although there are common tasks, everyone (I believe) has his own scripts and issues to monitor.
depends on your tasks.
I would suggest that you define your responsibilities, and from there look for, build, or ask for specific scripts or help for speciific tasks.
your tasks may involve:
- db space monitoring
- os space monitoring
- performance issues
- backup monitoring, execution
- user creation
- lock problems.
- error solving
For most of them you can use Grid Control for an overview, or alerts.
You can use the compliance screen (even though some violations may be difficult to correct due to current processes).
contribution (checks tablespace total and free space in MB):
Select d.tablespace_name ,sum(d.bytes/1024/1024) totalMB,sum( s.bytes/1024/1024) freeMB from dba_data_files d, dba_free_space s where s.tablespace_name=d.tablespace_name group by d.tablespace_name;now adjust it for percentages (more useful).
br,
pinela.

ask 100 people and you get 100 opinions.
scout the iTunes app store and find out which apps will suit your needs. you can do that NOW, while you anticipate the arrival of your new toy. it's more fun that way, IMHO

TS4526 Cable, internet, Netflix, iTunes library. Can use Amazon Video for iTunes library? Other program? OR Must have AppleTV for iTunes library?

I have purchases from iTunes movies and TV. I can play Netflix and Amazon TV. I also have TIVO thru which i connect my TV. .Amazon indicates that it can download iTunes. Can I use Amazon to play my iTunes purchases OR must I have an AppleTV device?
Also have 3 yr old large screen VIZIO hd TV. If I have to have an ATV, can I connect it through an hdmi on side panel? Or do I have to use a rear hdmi connection? How do I then connect CABLE>TIVO>TV and ATV?
Too many hdmi cables, not snuff hardware knowledge!
Thanks!

Two things that are not clear
- I think it is not possible to have iTunes running at the same time on two Macs in the discribed setting.

Anyone with experience?
I think what you mean is that it's not possible for two Macs to access the same iTunes library (ie. the same collection of media files) at the same time. From my research, this seems to be the case, and that's not my issue.
In my particular situation -- one that i'm sure is shared by many others -- my partner and i have separate user accounts on the same Mac, +entirely sharing a single iTunes Library+ (ie. same media files, same playlists, etc., as if we were a single user) and as long as we remember to quit iTunes whenever we walk away from the Mac (allowing the other to log in and launch iTunes and access our common library), this is not a problem.
And that is when my particular problem arises: when we launch iTunes, we are often asked to choose a Library (a series of navigations that my partner isn't entirely comfortable with), and occasionally the Data folder on the TimeCapsule is unavailable.
As for the wireless connection to our library, this has not so far proven to be an issue. Depending on what other activities are going on at the time (ie. TimeMachine backups or background Internet activity, i presume), i have only rarely experienced brief interruptions in music streaming from the TimeCapsule (<1 second). In fact, last night, we watched a movie on the laptop, with the file streaming from the TimeCapsule, and it only hesitated a few times, and again for less than a second.
