Bug in Numbers "duplicate" command?

When I use the duplicate command on an open file and save the (modified) duplicate file to disk, the original file I started from appears identical to the duplicated one, just like the two were aliases to each other. I tried several times but this happens every time. never seen something like this in 20 years. any hint?

Fabio,
That's never happened to me. Are you aware that when you File > Duplicate, the duplicte (new) file is on top and the file that was the original at the time of the duplication is underneath, and that the filenames look similar except for the word Copy appended to the duplicate? To avoid confusion, Save the Duplicate right away and close the original file before modifying the duplicate.

Pages. Shorcut for "Duplicate" command from the "archive" menu ?

When i make a keyboard shortcut for the "Duplicate" command from the "Archive" menu, it only works once, because when I close Pages and open it again, the shortcut disapears from the command "Duplicate" in the archive menu and it is reasigned to the "Duplicate" command from the "Edit" menu. How can i fix this?

I recommend sending feedback to Apple. I have sent feedback for Pages, Numbers & OS X.The more people who send feedback, the more likely changes will be made.
Feedback works. When iWork '09 first came out there was a lot of ranting about the move of Export to the Share menu. With the first update Export was added back to the File menu & was also left in the Share menu.
Here's what I sent to the OS X feedback.
The loss of Save As… in Numbers 2.1, Pages 4.1 & Preview in Lion is extremely frustrating, particularly since there is no keyboard command for File > Duplicate. Trying to assign ⌘ ⇧ S in System Preferences doesn't work because OS X "decides" to then assign that to Edit > Duplicate which, by default is ⌘ D. I have to take my hands off the keyboard, go to the File menu & then select Duplicate in order to create a new document with the same basic content. Having a keyboard command for File > Duplicate would go a long way in solving this problem for me & many others who complain in Apple Support Communities.

Is this a bug in Numbers?

Hi,
I have recently finished my spreadsheet for personal finance tracking, and have just encountered what may be a bug in numbers.
I have a few sheets in which i collect the relevant data to be used by the appropriate functions.
This is what I have noticed.
In one sheet I have spending categories in column 1, and the relevant months in the top row. I have used the SUMIFS function to total transactions by category and month. I wrote the first row of functions and when I was done I merely copied and pasted the functions into the adjacent rows since they are exactly the same, the only variable being the spending category, which I allowed for.
I have about 10 categories and they all work perfect except for two rows. I find this very unusual since I have copied and pasted the functions, so no room for error, and not only that, all the other rows work perfect - just these two rows don't do the job. Also, it does not give the error sign (the red triangle with the exclamation mark), but the cells simply return the value $0.00. I even re-wrote the functions to try a different method other than and copied version of the function, but I can't get the values to display correctly in the cells.
Anyways, I just thought that if there is someone else that is encountering the same problem it would be nice to know.
Thanks

Hello
At last I have responded to the 50 mails received and finished what I had to do in the garden.
I wish to add that when something doesn't behave as we wish, 99.99% of times, it's because we made a typo.
Here is a list of common ones :
(1) Extraneous spaces
(2) Unwanted duplicated chars
(3) unwanted or missing parenthesis (or double quotes)
(4) Error with the parameters separator (semi-colon versus comma)
(5) add you own common ones
Case 3 is quite easy to identify because most of the times, it generates a syntax error.
Case 4 is easier to identify because, as far as I know, it always generates a syntax error.
I apologizes but I can't describe Case 5's behaviour
Case 1 and 2 are the more annoying because they may give a formula returning a wrong value without any kind of error message.
It may be a good idea to keep this list near your machine.

I'm trying to clean up my library before I sync it with my new ipod touch. Apparently there is a DISPLAY DUPLICATES command in the file menu...can't find it?

Looking for the DISPLAY DUPLICATES command in the File Menu to delete songs before I sync with my new device????

You might need to bring up the menu bar first.
If you're using version 11.0.1.12, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Now you should be able to find the duplicates thing in the View Menu.
(If you're still using iTunes version 11.0.0.163, you'd need to update to 11.0.1.12 to get the Display duplicates control.)
EDIT: Sorry, in the initial version of this reply, I said the Show Duplicate items was in the File Menu. It's in the View Menu in version 11.0.1.12.

Applescript duplicate command runs different as an Application than from Script Editor

Hi,
When I run my script from the Script Editor it copies (duplicates) only the new files from one folder to the other one, as desired. That is, when the file already exists in the destination folder, it just skips to the next one until they are all done.
However, if I save that very same script as an Application and run it, Finder throws up a dialog box for each item telling me that it already exists and asks if I'd like to Keep Both, Stop or Replace the file.
I can't figure out why it would run differently as a Script in Script Editor, to how it would run as an Application? Can somebody please tell me where I'm going wrong? Or perhaps there has been a change in the way Finder and Applescript operate the Duplicate command in Yosemite?
Interestingly, this problem has only started occurring since I updated to Yosemite. Before that, on Mavericks, I didn't have this problem! And I've also just tried the same thing on my other MacBook Pro that's running Mavericks and it works as intended.
Thanks so much!

I think the replacing parameter may be broken. The first time I run this:
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at desktop with properties {name:"newf"} with replacing
end tell
I get a new folder. The second and subsequent times, I get this:
Unless I'm completely misunderstanding how to use the replacing parameter...

Duplicate command is not working for custom importer

Hi All,
I am working on a custom importer plugin. Basic features are working fine, but, I'm facing an issue with Duplicate functionality.
I added a new custom importer clip to project and created a duplicate of that clip (by right clicking the clip in Project window and selecting Duplicate from pop-up menu). Then I added both clip instances to timeline. Now, if I change properties of one clip instance it reflects in both clips. I noticed that both ClipIds are same and they are referring to same media path. I also observed the same behavior in SDK_Custom_importer sample. But, built in 'Color Matte' and 'Title' clips works fine.
As per my understanding, Duplicate command should create a new clip from existing clip and new clip should be independent of original clip after creation.
How to fix this issue? Is there any selector that I should handle to support Duplicate functionality?
Thanks & Regards,
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
The Color Matte and Title clips are not quite the same as your custom importer example. Those are synthetic clips, without a file reference on disk. If you exported a title to a file on disk, and then reimported it, and duplicated it so that there were two clips in the Project panel that reference the same file on disk, I think you would have the same behavior as what you're seeing with your custom importer. Duplicate doesn't create a new file on disk. The user would need to do that manually, and then import the new file.
Regards,
Zac

Duplicate command traying to use wrong backup

RMAN 10g (10.2.0.3). All catalog, target and auxiliary databases are exactly the same release.
The duplicate command is trying to use a backup that does not exist anymore.
"report obsolete" command listed very old backups that does not exist.
'delete obsolete" did not delete the old obsolete backups.
I dropped and created again the catalog, but after that, the old obsolete backups are still reported!!!!!
I issued "delete force obsolete" and "delete force expired..." commands. The "report obsolete" does not shows the old obsolete backups anymore.
But, duplicate command says that there are not backups of any datafile.
"list backup" command shows one available backup:

How can I tell to "duplicate" command, that it must use one specific backupset?

This is all the process, so you can see it complete.
'test' server cannot see the ASM DGA where the target database is. So I send the backup to a filesystem in 'siprod1' ('/ocfs2a') and I mount by NFS this filesystem in 'test' server, so that 'test' server can see the backup to use in the duplicate process. I have done this procees in the sae way twice before. Default FRA is ASM DGB (which cannot be seen by 'test').
I can send you a diagram of the servers and connections to you e-mail if you want, ahd the output of the query you asked for (it is a very long output).
When I dropped the rman catalog, I delete manually al lthe backups saved in FRA and in /ocfs2a.
This is a normal duplicate (non Data Guard). I am cloning from production to test.
===================================================================================
I tried to put here the complete output of ALL the process (command by command) but it exceedes the maximum lenght. I have sent you by e-mail that output.

Elements 6 - Error when using Duplicate command in Organiser

I get the following error message if I try to use the "Duplicate" command within the Organiser:
"An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media"
However, I have since realised that you can also access "Duplicate" from within the editor...and here it seems to work. That said, using "Duplicate" in the organizer would logically be where I think I'd want to duplicate an image. My images are all about 2Mb each and the computer has 1GB Ram and a 120GB capacity hard-drive.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks John, but unfortunately your suggested answer did not work. Here is further information. When I click on "Duplicate" within the Organiser, the progress bar gets to 90% before the error message appears. It seems the programme does also actually duplicate the image but then puts that second copy straight into the recycle bin (presumably because it's damaged or incomplete, although the file size is the same as the original). Any further suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

Auxiliary filename conflict - duplicate command

Hi,
We want to duplicate our production database (repos) from machine wmd-portal to auxiliary database (reposdup) of machine vmcdemo6.
Following are the command and error message:
Command:
RMAN> duplicate target database to reposdup;
Error message:
RMAN-05001: auxiliary filename C:\IASINFRA\ORADATA\REPOS\UNDOTBS01.DBF conflicts
with a file used by the target database
init.ora of auxiliary instance contains the following lines:
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(\\Wmd-portal\iasInfra\oradata\repos,\\vmcdev6\oracle\oradata\reposdup)
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=("\\Wmd-portal\iasInfra\oradata\repos","\\vmcdev6\oracle\oradata\reposdup")
Why are we getting a filename conflict?
We started the database using the following command:
sql> startup nomount pfile=c:\oracle\admin\reposdup\pfile\init.ora....
Thanks,
Karthik
ps: RMAN executable of wmd-portal was used.

Tedious work around is to use "set auxname ..." for each datafile and use "logfile clause" of duplicate command as below:
duplicate target database to reposdup
pfile='\\vmcdev6\oracle\admin\reposdup\pfile\init.ora' logfile GROUP 1('\\vmcdev\oracle\oradata\reposdup\redo01_1.f','\\vmcdev6\oracle\oradata\reposdup\redo01_2.f') size 200K,
GROUP 2
('\\vmcdev6\oracle\oradata\reposdup\redo02_1.f','\\vmcdev6\oracle\oradata\reposdup\redo02_2.f') size 200K,
GROUP 3
('\\vmcdev6\oracle\oradata\reposdup\redo03_1.f','\\vmcdev6\oracle\oradata\reposdup\redo03_2.f') size 200K reuse;
Seems to work.
I thought it was a precedence problem. However setting the auxname of each datafile to null doesn't work. Does anyone have a clue?
I use RMAN 9.0
Thanks,
karthik

Autofill bug using Numbers in Leopard when assigned to a Space

Has anyone else seen this bug?
I found a weird bug in Numbers. I have set Numbers to automatically load in Space #3. I wanted to cut and paste some information from a window in Space#2 so I moved the Numbers window to Space #2.
When I tab between cells and start typing, based on what the autofill options are it switches out the Numbers window, moving me to Space #3, leaving only the just the drop down menu with the autofill choices. For instance, if I type a 1 and the autofill choices are 150, 120, etc then it flips me to Spaces #3. It does the same thing regardless if I am entering a letter or digit.
If I move the Numbers window back to Space #3 it will display the autofill menu correctly.
Here are two images of the bug.
Image 1 shows the numbers window correctly. http://web.mac.com/bloetel/image1.png
Image 2 shows how the autofill window is the only thing showing when it switches to Space #3. http://web.mac.com/bloetel/image2.png

I encountered this problem too. As a 'solution', I turned auto-fill off, but that can't be the great idea of Apple. Also, the preferences window is in another spaces than the document I'm working in. That isn't a big problem, you can move the preferences window to a different space. I found that via the spaces overview (standard shortcut is F8, I think) you can move the autofill popup, just by dragging it. It disappears in the overview, but it's there when you go back to your original window.

How does Numbers Transpose command (similar to Excel's TRANSPOSE command) work?

The Excel transpose can be used to convert a row of cell into a column of cells. Or vise versa. In excel there is the critical difference where you identify an Array by tpying Control+U then Command+Return. This provides the stepping through the cells when you copy the formular down (for column) or across (for row).
I can't figure how to do it without this (very opaque) Array facility which Excel has. Openning my Excel demo file results in an error and I get pasted values from last calculation, so Numbers obviously doesn't have feature compatibility with Excel here.
I actually just want the pasted values, so even a menu command that cuts a row of cells and pastes those cells into a column (or vise versa) would be fine, don't need a permanent formula to do it.

I'd use OFFSET for this purpose. Works in either direction.
Original is a data table (all values entered directly)
Transposed contains a single Formula, entered in A1, then filled down* to row 4, and filled right to column D.
Transposed::A1: =OFFSET(Original :: $A$1,COLUMN()-1,ROW()-1)
*Because Row 1 is a Header row, it's not possible to Fill down into the 'regular' rows below. You can do the Fill down and Fill right on a Plain table (no header rows or columns), then convert the top row and left columns to Header versions, or you can click on A1 to select it, Copy, then click on A2 and Paste. Fill down the rest of column A, then select the full column and fill right to column C.
Here'a a second example, used to convert a column oriented data entry table to table with data oriented in the one row = one record convention.
Same basic formula here. The IF(ISBLANK part is added to avoid zeros in cells corresponding to empty cells in the entry column.
=IF(ISBLANK(OFFSET(Aux::$A$1,COLUMN()-1,0)),"",OFFSET(Aux::$A$1,COLUMN()-1,0))

WONKY calculation bug in Numbers 3.0.1

Hi,
This is wonky. It's a bit hard to explain in words, so best see the attachment to understand. You can download the attachment here: https://app.sugarsync.com/iris/wf/D162135_83773729_7822834
Basically, I have a number in each of A1, B1, and C1. The numbers have up to 2 decimals.
D1 contains the following formula: A1 - SUM( B1:C1 ), giving the result 19782.10.
E1 contains the number 19782.10.
F1 contains the formula D1 - E1.
The answer should be 0.00. Instead, it reads 0.00000000000363797881....
There is no inputted number anywhere with more than 2 decimal places. Clearly there is some kind of bug. The funny thing is if I change the formula in D1 to A1 - B1 - C1, then I get 0.00.
I've also tried changing the numbers in A1, B1, and C1 and then adjusting E1 accordingly. With very few exceptions, I get the correct 0.00. There is something about those particular numbers running through the SUM formula that produces the ghost decimals.
Of course, errors to the 12th decimal aren't going to throw off my spreadsheet too badly. But I have to wonder if these bugs are coming up in such simple math, what else is wonky in Numbers 3.0?
When I get weird results in my math, I like to be able to assume it is because of my error. Knowing that Numbers is wonky is going to add a lot of uncertainty to complex troubleshooting in my formulas.
What's the deal? Any ideas?

[1] This is not normalised form with hidden bit = 0
[2] This is normalised form with hidden bit = 1
[3] the 2nd term is not normalised form; LSB of mantissa of the 2nd term is result of rounding.
[4] +0
