BMP 8Bit export issue - Can't force to use full color range

I want to export to BMP 8 bit (to save file space compared to BMP24) but Fireworks cannot be convinced to take advantage of the full range of 256 colors and only uses 80 colors of a smooth gradient, leading to a ugly choppy gradient fill.
Here is a video of the issue: http://screencast.com/t/Zjk2ZTc4OT
Any help would be very much appreciated. Is it a bug?

Yes, it is a bug.
Please, report it.
For now, there is nothing else we can do about it...

How can I force the use on a specific application when I am in the Downloads window?

I have Vista and Firefox 3.6.15
when I open an email attachment it goes to the intended application but when I click on the downloaded file in Downloads it invokes OpenOffice and then it displays:
"Move background page assignment
The loading of password-encrypted Microsoft Powerpoint presentationsis n ot supported"

Hi Frank!
you should catch your save-event and after saving put the following line:
oMatrix.Columns.Item(4).Cells.Item(lstRowIndex + 1).Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular);
that's it!

How I can set Leopard to use the color management mixture that Tiger uses?

I have recently bought a new Mac with Leopard installed. My old Mac is running Tiger. Unfortunately the color management default settings in Leopard are different than in Tiger, so this is completely messing up my calibration. Can somebody please tell me how I can set Leopard to use whatever color management mixture that Tiger uses? - Thanks.

I already have set FF to No Proxy. This made FF work again, but not any of my other internet programs, programs that don't have the option to set to no proxy, they rely on the system settings. So I need to know how to reset my system settings back to their default values. This will allow all my net progs to access the net again, including FF using the Use System Settings option. Since FF has an option to use system settings, this is a somewhat FF related question. I need to get all my net programs working again, not just FF! And, if my system settings are restored, FF will work using the system settings, and all my other progs will work too.

What issues can i run into using HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE

Hi
we are going to add FM "HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE" with "HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION", for improving the perofrmance...as this FM is buffering the data and doing some EXPORT to memory. The result of this is that after a few hundred calls to HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION the buffer gets big enough to impact the performance of the function module. After thousand of updates with HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION , each call will take many seconds and your ABAP program will be unusable.
but i am concerned looking at [this thread|; ...can someone elaborate on issues we may face with using HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE?
Especially in the above thread it is said that
it wrecks havoc when we are trying to update records which are related to eachother
this is little unclear, what does it mean?
thanks in advance

How to force PWMOUT1/PWMOUT2 clock at 11.72KHz? Can you force it using SpeedFan?..

Please let me know.. thanks.

I've tried changing the PWMOUT clock frequency in Speedfan too, but whatever I set it to doesn’t "take".
I'd like to change the frequency because I can't slow my fans down enough. I'd like a "1" in Speedfan to just barely turn the fans. As it is now, a Speedfan setting of "1" equates to over 2000 RPM on my CPU fan!
I don't think it's Speedfan's fault - I've verified with an oscilloscope that Speedfan changes the duty cycle of the PWM square wave going to the fan's + lead. PWM speed control works better on faster and/or heavier fans. My fans are light and slower turning, so PWM doesn’t have much of an effect on them.
PWM is not a great way to control fan speed. Fan tend to "growl" at low duty cycles. I think manufacturers like to use it because they don't need the large bypass transistors and associated heatsinks to dissipate the heat generated by voltage regulation.
On the Winbond W83627HF there's no feedback loop to tell if the fan is responding to the change in duty cycle. Some fan controller chips use feedback loops to control fan speed. This method is much more accurate. But the W83627HF is not really a fan controler - it's also doing RS-232, printer port, floppy, keyboard, ACPI, temprature monitor, game port...
There’s a possibility that MSI did not implement the PWM correctly. Without a motherboard schematic, it’s too hard to tell. Here's a snip from the Winbond application notes:
You can download the Winbond W83627HF application notes off their website or get them here
Here’s a great site about DIY fan controllers. And see Fan Speed Control Techniques in PCs. Oh, and don't forget Rev Up Your Fan Speed Control Designs.
And I thought Corecell was supposed to do this stuff!

Can't install Tiger using full retail disk(DVD)

I have a system that should support Tiger and I have a retail Install Disk(black face w/ big X). After inserting the disk, clicking "install", giving appropriate password, then clicking "restart", I can't get past the grey window with Apple Logo. Trying to start using "C" key doesn't work nor does selecting the Install Disk after using Option Key during Start-Up. What's the matter with my machine or software? It's a Power Mac G4 (Quicksilver) running OS X 10.2.8. It's a 933 Mhz PowerPC and has 768 mb of RAM. Boot Rom info is 4.3.3f2, Darwin Kernel Ves. 6.8. Do I need a firmware update and ,if so, how can I get it?

Is there a minimum Mac OS for the 107D ? OSX 10.4 should be OK but I do remember OSX 10.4.6 being a minimum requirement for a lot of the Pioneer drives when I looked to upgrade years ago. This was enough to put me off upgrading.
For OS Boot capability, the drive needs to be Apple Supported. While almost any DVD drive will work in the Mac, only a few can be used to boot it. ie. Under Disc Burning in the ASP, does it not need to show as "Apple Supported" rather than just "Yes".
[This link|http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg25218.html] indicates it boots OS9 so I would think it would also boot OSX. Aren't many early generation G4 Superdrives basically Pioneer drives under a different label?
Pioneer usually doesn't supply firmware updates for Apple computers. There are instructions on how to use the PC updaters to install on Macs with DVRFlash but it's moot if it is really necessary.

Force the use of synonym (database link)

Hello,
I'm on a database DB_1 with the user NP.
In the NP schema I have a table TEST_TABLE.
I create a public synonym on TEST_TABLE referencing a table named TEST_TABLE in a database DB_2 (*the synonym use a dblink*).
In my DB_1 instance connected with NP user, when I run "SELECT * FROM TEST_TABLE", the result is the content of TEST_TABLE in DB_1.
Connected with NP user on DB1_instance, how can i force the use of the synonym to get the content of TEST_TABLE in DB_2 instance ? Is it possible ?
Thanks...

Pl post details of OS and database versions.
I do not believe you can achieve your requirement, unless you name the synonym something other than "TEST_TABLE". The resolution to "TEST_TABLE" will always result in the local table first - the synonym will not be included in the name resolution.

Can I find a theme that uses a color I choose?

I can't figure out how I can find themes that use a color I have selected. I would like to browse available themes based on a starting color I choose, is this possible?

You can search for themes with certain colors using HEX value of color as search keyword. For e.g: Search for HEX:94090D will get you all themes using 94090D color.
However, search with color as starting point is not possible.

Slow export issue to 8bit uncompressed with a particular timeline.

I have one particular project (<5 min duration) that just takes forever (3+hours) to export to an uncompressed 8bit NTSC QT movie, whether or not I make it a reference movie or self contained. It also takes a long time to render certain clips within the movie.
If I export the same timeline using "current settings" instead of the 8bit uncompressed it exports in a matter of 3 minutes.
I have no such slowness issues exporting other projects to 8bit uncompressed so I know it's not hardware limitations.
I'm guessing it's not bad render files on the presumption that QT would have been re-rendering everything to make the self contained uncompressed movie- hence my existing render files status wouldn't be a dependency of the process. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I did notice however that the opening bumper clip takes a long time to render.. like 2 full minutes and it's only about 5 seconds long. This was a .motn file originally. I've used the same clip in other projects without issue.. maybe it's become corrupt? I'll answer back if that was it. Not in the editing room at the moment- but just thought I'd ask in case these symptoms spark any obvious solutions.

You should render prior to export. Otherwise you end up with your system going thru the work to render, but afterwards, you don't have anything in your sequence rendered.
The presumption that QT would have been re-rendering everything to make the self contained uncompressed movie
Nope - it doesn't re-render unless it has to. Exporting in a format other than your timeline's format is a transcode. This does not require a re-render.
You should be using Export Using QuickTime Conversion to transcode. Export Quicktime Movie is meant to use Current Settings...

How can I force an app install in App Store, or otherwise get App Store in a consistent state?

I've recently reinstalled OS X Mountain Lion on a laptop (completely and thoroughly erased the partitions of the previous installation), and on this freshly created system, after I sign in to the App Store (to download previous purchases), the system behaves as if packages are already installed - which they are not!
Under the Purchases tab, packages (such as Xcode or other previous purchases) are showing with a greyed out "INSTALLED" button on the right. Other packages (which have not been installed) are showing with a (pressable) button of "UPDATE". (For example, iPhoto has a newer version in Mavericks; it seems always possible to click on UPDATE and be prompted to install the latest version for Mountain Lion -- even though that process can be infinitely repeated). But iPhoto (along with any other packages) has not been installed to the host yet. /Applications/iPhoto.app and any others are not showing at all on the system, but App Store still believes that they're installed already (preventing a real install, or pretending that an upgrade is an upgrade and not an install). There are some packages which DO say "INSTALL". Those are the ones that I have never installed before on the laptop. So it appears to be possible to still install some packages - but that's the set that I do not want to install. So for example, now I can't seem to install Xcode or iPhoto or any other previously purchased applications. It seems pretty clear that there are some bugs here. But I am concerned about the source of the association - how is OS X determining that THOSE packages are "installed already", but others are not? Is the upstream App Store server keeping track of machine ID to make this determination? I heard at one point that App Store uses Spotlight internally - is it somehow querying that? Finally I wanted to confirm that this is really a complete reinstall. I set /dev/zero to the first few sectors of the raw hard drive in order to ensure that I could make a few partiiton table, and when I then reinstalled the system, I chose a different partition arrangement. I have no other drives connected. So it's truly a reinstall of the OS from scratch, and at the moment I can't see a clear way to install apps! I also had killed the App Store agent running in the background, moved away App Store related files in ~/Library/Caches/ and started again. Yet I get the exact same response. This is concerning from a privacy perspective too. Suppose the App Store server is encoding the list of installed packages and associating it with the host and then perhaps I sell the laptop. Now the list of apps may be available to a new user of the laptop. But it may only show if the same Apple ID is used.
In any case, I'd like to know how I can best move past this issue, workaround it, and install packages. Can I force an app to install, even if it's believed to be installed already? Can I attempt to do an "uninstall"? Any suggestions about this would be greatly appreciated.

i also have a very similar problem my mac crashed due to a dodgy hard drive which has now been upgraded and snow leopard reinstalled and i cannot re install my purchased apps which is a pain in the back side any help please

Can Oracle be forced to use the spatial index for sdo_filter in combination with an or clause? Difference between Enterprise and SE?

We’re seeing the following issue: sql - Can Oracle be forced to use the spatial index for sdo_filter in combination with an or clause? - Stack Overflow (posted by a colleague of mine) and are curious to know if this behaviour is due to a difference between standard and enterprise, or could we doing something else wrong in our DB config.?
We have also reproduced the issue on the following stacks:
Oracle SE One 11.2.0.3 (with Spatial enabled)
Redhat Linux 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 16 20:59:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
11.2.0.3.0 Standard Edition and 11.2.0.4.0 Standard Edition (both with Spatial enabled)
Microsoft Windows Server 2003R2 Standard x64 Edition
However, the SQL works fine if we try it on Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 *Enterprise* Edition.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Kindest Regards,
Kevin

In my experience sdo_filter ALWAYS uses the spatial index, so that's not the problem. Since you did not provide the explain plans, we can't say for sure but I think yhu is right: Standard Edition can't use the bitmap operations, and thus it'll take longer to combine the results of the two queries (because the optimizer will surely split this OR up in two parts, then combine them).
BTW: when asking questions about queries here, it would be nice if you posted the queries here as well, so that we do not have to check another website in order to see what you are doing. Plus it will probably get you more answers, because not everyone can be bothered to click on that link. It would also have been nice if you had posted your own answer on the other post here as well, because my recommendation would have been to use union all - but since you already found that out for yourself my recommendation would have been a little late.

How can I force focus from flash to another plugin app in FireFox such as with the e.focus() Java Script command in Internet Explorer

Can you force focus from a Flash app to another plugin such as Unity3d using a JS command similar to e.focus() which works in Internet explorer. The following code works in IE, but not FireFox? Any solution would be helpful. Is it even possible?
function hideSWF(){
e=document.getElementById("flash_content");
e.style.width = 1 + 'px';
e.style.height = 1 + 'px';
e=document.getElementById("u3dobjmsiediv_unity");
e.focus() ;
function showSWF() {
e=document.getElementById("flash_content");
e.style.width = gameWidth + 'px';
e.style.height = gameHeight + 'px';
e.focus() ;
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Always existed when switching from Flash app to a different app. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4

No, I am saying that this isn't the forum for help with that. This forum is for Firefox user support, and the helpers in this forum aren't versed in development issues like that - we're volunteers, not Mozilla developers and don't work for Mozilla. You are better off asking about that in a forum where other web site developers do support.

Crystal XI R2 exporting issues with double-byte character sets

NOTE: I have also posted this in the Business Objects General section with no resolution, so I figured I would try this forum as well.
We are using Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (version 11.5.0.313).
We have an application that can be run using multiple cultures/languages, chosen at login time. We have discovered an issue when exporting a Crystal report from our application while using a double-byte character set (Korean, Japanese).
The original text when viewed through our application in the Crystal preview window looks correct:
性能著概要
When exported to Microsoft Word, it also looks correct. However, when we export to PDF or even RPT, the characters are not being converted. The double-byte characters are rendered as boxes instead. It seems that the PDF and RPT exports are somehow not making use of the linked fonts Windows provides for double-byte character sets. This same behavior is exhibited when exporting a PDF from the Crystal report designer environment. We are using Tahoma, a TrueType font, in our report.
I did discover some new behavior that may or may not have any bearing on this issue. When a text field containing double-byte characters is just sitting on the report in the report designer, the box characters are displayed where the Korean characters should be. However, when I double click on the text field to edit the text, the Korean characters suddenly appear, replacing the boxes. And when I exit edit mode of the text field, the boxes are back. And they remain this way when exported, whether from inside the design environment or outside it.
Has anyone seen this behavior? Is SAP/Business Objects/Crystal aware of this? Is there a fix available? Any insights would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jef
I searched on the forums and got the following information:
1) If font linking is enabled on your device, you can examine the registry by enumerating the subkeys of the registry key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEu2013\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink to determine the mappings of linked fonts to base fonts. You can add links by using Regedit to create additional subkeys. Once you have located the registry key that has just been mentioned, from the Edit menu, Highlight the font face name of the font you want to link to and then from the Edit menu, click Modify. On a new line in the dialog field "Value data" of the Edit Multi-String dialog box, enter "path and file to link to," "face name of the font to link".u201D
2) "Fonts in general, especially TrueType and OpenType, are u201CUnicodeu201D.
Since you are using a 'true type' font, it may be an Unicode type already.However,if Bud's suggestion works then nothing better than that.
Also, could you please check the output from crystal designer with different version of pdf than the current one?
Meanwhile, I will look out for any additional/suitable information on this issue.

After the most recent update, I can no longer access stand alone GPS services. What's up with that? I am now forced to use google location services which use up some of my data allotment.

ddmathias, I want to make sure all services are working correctly on your phone. What GPS services were you using before the update happened? What kind of issues are you having with the services? Do you get any kind of errors? Please keep us posted.

Itunes and proxy settings. Itunes keeps the proxy setting from IE and I can't adapt it due to company policy. How can I force itunes to use firefox?

itunes can not connect to server and I can't find its proxy settings.
So I think it uses these from IE and those are blocked by company policy.
So, how can I force itunes to use the firefox settings

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.
