Any way to add a drive to Spotlight Privacy BEFORE connecting it?

I want to move a few files over from the External drive of another computer, but I don't want either that drive or the drive of the "target" computer to start indexing (I'm not using the term "target" here as in +Target Disk Mode+.) Is there any way to add that External drive to Privacy before I even connect it? As indexing will already have begun, I don't want to wait until the drive is already connected and then drag it into Privacy.
I've noticed that if I use the "add" button in Spotlight Privacy, it only gives me the option to select Folders/Locations already on the drive, with no way to simply enter the name of the External Volume into Privacy by typing it. Can I trick it into doing this by creating an empty Folder with the name of that drive and then adding that Folder to Privacy?
And, is there any way, without dragging the drive of the "target" computer into Privacy, to prevent it from starting to index the contents of the External?
In other words, I'd like the entire operation to have nothing to do with Spotlight. Disabling Spotlight entirely is not an option, since I use it in a very limited way for Mail and very occasionally for searching.

Then what's the next best option (assuming there is a next best option of any kind): drag the icon of the external into Privacy as soon as it mounts? (This is an external clone that's always in Privacy on its home computer, anyway.*) And drag the "home" computer's icon into Privacy as soon as the external mounts, also, and then re-index it once the external is unmounted? Can it be done this way, i.e. by interrupting the immediate indexing that will take place by moving both volumes into Privacy?
*According to what you said, since that volume is set in Privacy on its home computer, would that mean it won't try to index the internal to which it is mounted, even if moved to a different computer (but different OS, Leo not Tiger?) But the Leo (internal) will still try to index the contents of the external (Tiger)? In other words, are there two different (simultaneous?) indexings possible: the external (clone) tries to index the internal volume on which it is mounted, and the internal tries to index the additional volume of the external which has just been mounted to it? This stuff gets confusing.

Is there any way to add a digital copy movie to an iPhone without syncing with my iTunes library? I use iCloud to sync, not iTunes. So when I go to sync movies, it deletes the other ones I already have loaded on the iPhone. Thanks.

Any way to add 'Actions' tab on Service order Item level in ICWeb?

Hello,
We are implementing Service orders under CRM2007 Interaction Center.
When we access the Service Orders through backend (t-code CRMD_ORDER), we see an 'Actions' tab on the Item Level which captures all the actions executed at Item Level. This tab is not available from the UI.
Is there any way to add it to the UI? Note that it is available from both backend and UI at Header level but only from backend at the Item level.
Thanks,

Hi Deepali,
I checked the TCODE CRMD_ORDER, there are buttons like AVAILABILITY CHECK on the item level.
When you say it is an Item view on the Web UI, I believe it is a Table View.
In Table Views you will have ON CLICK ACTION buttons next to the Row Selectors.
For most of the views it will be available by default.Identify the Web UI component and open it through BSP_WD_CMPWB.Select the view and open the context node class and check if there is a method
GET_OCA_T_TABLE.
This method will have the code like this, for the buttons
ls_one_click_action-id      = 'DELETE'.
ls_one_click_action-icon    = 'delete.gif'.
ls_one_click_action-text    = ''.
ls_one_click_action-tooltip = cl_wd_utilities=>get_otr_text_by_alias( 'CRM_IC_APPL/DELETE' ).
ls_one_click_action-active = 'X'.
APPEND ls_one_click_action TO rt_actions.
If your component also has these things, then you can simply add the ACTIONS column using Configuration Tool else you need to add this column by coding, redefine the method GET_OCA_T_TABLE and add the buttons.
You need to explicitly create event handlers for the button click actions.
Mostly,it should be available to you by default as it is available in SAP GUI.

Is there any way to add PO no and corresponding line item of PO in VL32N?

Hello,
The scenario is, we have created the IBD and deleted one of the line item and saved it.
We went to VL32N and added the missing line item to IBD but PO number and corresponding item number of PO field of newly added line items are grayed out. We are not able to add PO number in VL32N screen.
Is there any way to add PO number and corresponding line item of PO in VL32N screen of IBD? Our client does not want to create new IBD for same PO. He wants to add the line item in same IBD.

Is there any way to add a hyperlink to text in Messages.app?

Is there any way to add a hyperlink to text in Messages.app?
I frequently share links via Messages and would like to have clickable text with a hyperlink beneath vs an ugly URL.

Hi,
In iChat and early versions of Messages this used to be CMD + K keys together
This no longer works.
It seems CMD + K is free as a Modifier keystroke.
I would have added it as an item in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
The issue with that is the fact that there is also no longer an Menu item for it. (so it does not work).
You can add a URL and then Right Click and there is an Edit option but this only allows you to change the URL and not add a URL to existing unsent text.
Right Clicking unlinked Text does not allow you to Edit it either (well there are some format option but not Hyperlinks)
I can't find away around this.
I know in the past the AIM service suffered from malicious code sent in Hyperlinks so this might be the reason.

Any way to add a link FROM HomePage TO iWeb?

Any way to add a link FROM HomePage TO iWeb? The instruction I found in Help only discussed adding a link from iWeb to HomePage. Since most of my family already accesses my HomePage, I'd like to be able to add a link to the iWeb pages
This is the only instruction I've been able to find in connection with this topic: "If you’ve previously published webpages using HomePage, those pages are still available at http://homepage.mac.com/YourMemberName. Websites you create in iWeb are available at http://web.mac.com/YourMemberName/iweb/SiteName. If you’ve created webpages using the .Mac HomePage feature, you can put a link to your old homepage on the first page of your new iWeb site. On your iDisk, your HomePage sites are stored in the Sites folder. Your iWeb sites are in the Web folder."
Thanks

I'll try this, but why in the world should it be so complex? I'll let you know if it works. but how do we tell Apple/Mac that this shouldn't be rocket science, but rather something that's done with the click of a button. They're both .mac software products. Why can't they talk to each other?

Acrobat v9 JavaScript Alert Box - any way to add space or line break after each array item?

I have a Document level Javascript used to identify blank required fields and is triggered on document actions, Print and Save. The script identifies the blank required fields, counts them, and outputs to an Alert box indicating the number of required fields blank and lists the fields by tooltip name. The script identifies the required fields by an asterisk at the end of each tool tip.
My question is there any way to add a space or a line break after the comma for each listed item?
Here is an image of the output where the listed items are all run together.
Here is the code:
function validateFields()
//a counter for the number of empty fields
var flg = 0
// count all the form fields
var n = this.numFields
//create an array to contain the names of required fields
//if they are determined to be empty
var fArr = new Array();
//loop through all fields and check for those that are required
// all fields that have a '*' in their tool tip are required
for(var i = 0;i<n;i++){
var fn = this.getNthFieldName(i);
var f = this.getField(fn);
//tool tip is the fields\'s 'userName' property;
var tt = f.userName
//test for the '*';
if(tt.indexOf('*')!=-1 && f.value == f.defaultValue){
//increment the counter of empty fields;
flg++;
//add the fields userName (tool tip) to the list of empty field names;
fArr[fArr.length] = tt;
//now display a message if there are empty fields
if(flg>0){
app.alert('There are '+flg+' fields that require a value\n\n'+ fArr,3)
else{
this.print();

Thank you! The alert box array items now have a line break, image below. You know you have made my day and possibly several weeks as now I have more understanding about how to apply everything I have been reading in the Acrobat JavaScript guide and of course as soon as you pointed out using a "join", that triggered some old-days of working with Access and SQL queries.
I will work on the required attribute to see how I might reference it. I am laughing at myself now - good luck to me in figuring it out as I was very stick-in-the-mud regarding the line break issue.
Thanks again and here is the result of the updated code:

Any Way to Add the Date to Pictures in PSE 4.0??

I've just started using PSE 4.0, and am new to the forum.
I don't see any way to add the date to a picture. I want to be able to add the date to the picture file for sending to a commercial source for printing. In my search in this and other forums, it appears there was a feature to add the date via Print|Show more options|Label|Date in PSE 3.0, but the "Date" seems to have been eliminated in 4.0.
I've used a separate program (Exifer) for this in the past, but doing it one picture at a time is tedious at best, and very time consuming. With all the capabilities of PSE, I'm amazed that this isn't an obvious capability.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Tks...Thksnow

Barb -
You are absolutely right. Unfortunately the Date function under Caption put an entire date and time stamp on the picture, which is not what I want. All I'm trying to do is put a date stamp on the picture similar to a dateback on a 35mm camera (yes I still have a few of those!!), which we really like to have for our family photo albums.
The best I've figured out from a suggestion on another forum is to use the Watermark function under the same Process Multiple Files area. The downside is that I have to put the date in manually, as opposed to automatically from the file data, but it's better than doing it with another program.

Is there any way to use Quickview from within Spotlight search results?

I'm sure this has been answered previously, but my searches came up empty....
Is there any way to use Quickview from within Spotlight search results? I'd like to be able to do a Spotlight search and hit the space bar for a quick Quickview look before actually launching the program. I'm guessing this isn't possible, but thought I'd ask...

Thanks, Kappy.
Duh...I meant Quick Look. Sorry about that.
In any event, pressing the space bar in Spotlight just puts a space in the Spotlight search box - it doesn't open a Quick view of the highlighted item...

You do it 10.0.1 in much the same way you did in iMovie version 9. You use Picture-in-Picture.

Is there any way to add chapter markers running Mavericks? Is there a reason they have been stripped out the new OSX?

Is there any way to add chapter markers running Mavericks? Is there a reason they have been stripped out the new OSX?
Depending on your choice of workflows, it appears you can still
1) Add chapter marks manually with QT 7 Pro,
2) Add chapter markers graphically using GarageBand,
3) Use a video editor to set chapter markers graphically,
4) Use a DVD conversion/burning app to set specific or add equi-interval chapter markers, or
5) Use a media/device player that adds playback only chapter makers when no chapter track is embedded within the file.
What kind of chapter markers are you referring to here? Mine are not "stripped out" during normal use but can be automatically removed during various conversion workflows.

I know we can say 'this is mom or this is dad" but when an email is sent it identifies the device that sent it so why not imessages too?

Stop using the same apple id on all your devices. Each person should have their own. You can still share apps via home sharing.
