Auto-kill Widgets when Aperure fires up

While widgets can be very useful being only a mouse swish away, they do tend to use machine resources even when not exposed. I use the quitDock widget that kills all widgets thus freeing more resources for Aperture.
Is there a way of running quitDock automatically through some sort of aliased/modified Aperture command ?
Count your widgets, i got 20 and thought i was widget-lite!

Right - the idea is that they're supposed to only do things when active and the system's virtual memory manager can get them out of the way when necessary. Unfortunately some widget authors have made mistakes but it's the same as, say, the occasional bits old classic Mac OS code which assumed that they could use the entire machine rather than behaving politely - I wouldn't not use the feature out of fear that this could happen but it's never a bad idea to check whether you might need to file a bug report with some vendor about poor code.

  • Zenity --progress --auto-kill usage?

    Hello,
    i'm trying to built a simple backup script which launches rsync and zenity:
    #/bin/bash
    rsync -auvh --progress --delete / /mnt/BACKUP | zenity --progress --auto-kill
    What i want to archive is that if i press the "cancel" button of the zenity progress bar, the rsync process should be killed. What happens instead is that my bash is killed.
    Is there any nice way of how i can kill the rsync process when i press the "cancel" button?
    Thanks in advance,
    Robert

    check exit code?
    #/bin/bash
    rsync -auvh --progress --delete / /mnt/BACKUP | zenity --progress --auto-kill
    if [ $? = 1 ]; then
    echo you pressed cancel
    killall rsync
    else
    echo you did not press cancel

  • My itunes wont auto sync my iphone 4 after i connect it to itunes. But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day.

    But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
    P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

  • How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

    How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
    I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
    If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to  turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

    As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
    You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
    you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.

  • How to implement Auto Suggest Widget

    Hi there
    I have a dynamic asp classic page, where the data come from an access db.
    On this page, many documents (category and title ) are displayed for download.
    I want to implement Auto Suggest Widget in order to find the document easier and to jump to it (href="#document_xy") directly for download.
    I don't have a clue on how to implement the Auto Suggest Widget.
    The ASP sample works with XML File.

    All replies, hints, tutorials are highly appreciated.

    I am using Win XP, Dreamweaver CS3

    Hi,
    thanks for trying to help.
    I am sorry to ask again. I am not at all familiar with xml.
    I have tried to modify the ASP script you've suggested, but I get strange XML error, which doesn't make sense to me.
    I understand that with the script the server creates an XML File on the fly. First I have to connect to my access database, then I fill the records into a recordset object. And then the server loops through the RS and creates the xml file. Is that correct?
    The error message I get, points to a complete different place in the code, to a javascript module, which is working perfectly without below code.
    Any suggestions where the bug is?
    Thanks for your time
    kind regards
    joey00x
    Here the code that I am using:
    <%
    Dim objRS
    Dim SQLxml
    SQLxml = "Select category, subcategory, title from DocumentView"
    Set objRS=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
    objRS.Open SQLxml , objConn, 0, 1
    ' Send the headers
    Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
    Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "public"
    Response.AddHeader "Cache-control", "private"
    Response.AddHeader "Expires", "-1"
    %>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <root>
      <% While (NOT objRS.EOF) %>
        <row>
             <%
                For each field in objRS.Fields
                column = field.name
             %>
            <<%=column%>><![CDATA[<%=(objRS.Fields.Item(column).Value)%>]]></<%=column%>>
            <%
                Next
            %>

  • How do I get Adobe Reader XI to default to Auto Portrait/landscape when I print?

    How do I get Adobe Reader XI to default to Auto Portrait/landscape when I print?

    I too am looking into this issue for someone at my work and hoping someone can provide a resolution for this nuisance.
    It is correct that that Auto Portrait/Landscape is usually set to default for Adobe Reader XI. One day, Portrait was randomly switched as the default setting. Granted the setting could be set back to Auto on a per file basis, this slowed down the time to mass print several landscape reports.  The problem only occurred under one Windows account profile while other user accounts defaulted to Auto as expected. Uninstalling the software, clearing out all Adobe traces from Programs/Program Data/Application Data/Registry, and reinstalling the software did not make any difference. All printer preferences/configurations were the same amongst the different user accounts.
    While it would sound like rebuilding that one person's profile would be the final solution, it wouldn't be ideal to reconfigure the several remote connections with banks and hospitals (we're an anesthesia billing company) on a new profile for what might be a simple, yet elusive fix to this print setting. I have noticed other posts on other sites mention this issue, but no resolutions have been provided yet. I'm sure part of what makes this difficult to resolve is the inability to replicate this issue elsewhere.

  • Disable updating of the menu widget when working with Muse file?

    First of all thank you Adobe for creating Muse - I really like it a lot!
    My question:
    when I work on my website with 250+ pages, it strains the performance to make even the slightest changes to the page structure. I work with two Masters each with much the same horisontal menu widget.
    Adding, deleting and rearranging pages makes the PC (Windows 7 laptop of some but not awesome power) make a halt and take a deep breathe for some seconds. It really interupts the flow of working.
    A crude work around for this is to removing the menu widget in the two masters and put it into a new master page, containing only the copied menu from the two other masters and keeping the rest of the header in place on the original masters to use for aligning on the pages. This way, only one page has to update when working with adding, deleting and rearranging pages.
    I have tried to look for a preference to disable updating the Menu widget when working on the page structures and just enable it the update again when the work is done? does it exist? else I would recommend it strongly :-) Since my work around is a bit tricky/risky to use after publishing ;-)
    Again, thanks a lot for this nice program. Being a selftought CS (now CCC) user I like the ease of control of the webdesign you can get with Muse (at the dispence of other features of course - if you ever wanted to add some sort of database-lookup feature it would be MUCH appreciated. One workaround is to use iframe and an external search/lookup page, that returns results with links back to parent pages. A bit funny construction though :-) ).

    Glad to know you are enjoying Muse.
    It can be very processor intensive if you have multiple Master pages with their own All Pages menu widget. Take a look at the following threads and refer to Zak's response.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1423767
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/6166722
    See if you are able to use just one All Pages menu widget at your site while taking advantage of the hierarchical Master page feature.
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/adobe-muse-hierarchical-master-pages/
    We are aware of the performance issues caused by the Menu widget (All pages type) and is something being looked upon by the engineering in one of the upcoming releases.

  • Auto-erase downloads when I exit Firefox.

    How do I Auto-erase downloads when I exit Firefox? I don't want downloaded files accumulating endlessly on my hard drive - but I do want to keep history and autocomplete info.

    With all due respect to my colleague Morbus, the way I read the OP's request is that he ''wants'' to automatically delete the actual file that he downloaded through Firefox when he closes Firefox, while retaining the download history of those files. That is diametrically opposed to how Firefox has always worked, and I haven't seen any mention of Firefox 4.0 having a new feature such as that.
    BTW, 'autocomplete' data like "form and search history" is stored in a different file than "download history" data is stored,and there are separate preferences for toggling the saving of each (Options > Privacy) and the deleting of each in Clear Recent History./

  • What happens at backend when we fire alter database commit to switchover to physical standby

         Hi,
    What exactly happens at backend when we fire alter database commit to switchover to physical standby.
    how the transition happens?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The following will happen at the backend
    1.) Notifies the primary database that a switchover is about to occur
    2.) Disconnect all users from the primary database
    3.) Generate a special redo record that signals the End of Redo (EOR)
    4.) Converts the primary database into a standby database
    5.) Once the standby database applies the final EOR record, guaranteeing that no data loss has been lost, converts the standby database into the primary database.
    The new standby database (old primary) starts to receive the redo records and continues process until we switch back again. It is important to remember that both databases receive the EOR record so both databases know the next redo that will be received.

  • No auto fullscreen Video when turning the phone

    Hi,
    With all my other mobile phones I had movies/clips that were on a webpage or an app automatically swichtched to full screen mode when i turned the phone by 90°.
    With my Xperia Z3 Compact this doesn't work anymore.
    Does anyone have an idea why and how I can change that?
    Thanks

    With my other phones I had to tap the video that was on a web page and then it would open full screen but I've never had a phone that would auto do this when rotating

    My Iphone 4 auto shut off when battery 20% and lower. The phone is only 1.5 years old. Can I know why this happen?

    Most commom reason for this is faulty battery. You could try Restore with iTunes on computer, at end when prompted, Set Up iPhone as New. If still problem and you have AppleCare, take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, make Genius reservation and take to Apple Store for quick free battery diagnostic testing.
