Can not set external source editor

I am again having the problem of being able to use Notepad++ as my default external source editor. I had problems with this in previous versions. I just upgraded from version 21 to version 22 and I can no longer edit source. view_source.editor.path is still set and unchanged. view_source.editor.external is also still set and true but the view source now brings up the Firefox default which does not allow editing anything! Why would this keep changing? Where might this also be set as the about:config settings are apparently not being used. In searching I have not seen any other suggestions except going into about:config and then confirming or changing the two fields that are already set and worked in the past. What am I missing and why does it keep changing with each upgrade? This is Windows XP but my Windows 7 computer is doing the same thing.
Thank you.

Are there any errors related to view source in the Browser/Error Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+J)?
Do you see the correct path if you paste this code in the code field in the error console and click evaluate?
<pre><nowiki>viewSourceAppPath =Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"] .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch) .getComplexValue("view_source.editor.path",Components.interfaces.nsIFile);
viewSourceAppPath.path;</nowiki></pre>

  • Can not set source file for Fireworks png in Dreamweaver

    I recently purchased Adobe Design Premium CS5 to replace my CS3, but I have a big
    problem.  When I export a png in Fireworks to Dreamweaver it does not set the source
    file correctly.  It places the Fireworks object on the page, but when I select the table
    that holds the Fireworks object, the path for the source on the Properties panel is
    wrong - it says menu2.png.  The correct document relative path is dress_images/menu2/menu2.png.
    When I drag the Point to File icon over the menu2.png on the Files panel, it correctly displays
    the full path, but when I let go of it, it sets the path back to menu2.png.  I can not even type it
    in the source box and get it to stay.
    Here is the problem.  When I click on the Edit button, it says it can't find the png.  It is using
    the full path from the C: drive instead of the document relative path.  If I browse to the png file
    and open it in Dreamweaver then click the Done button, it saves the png file but does not change
    any of the content on the HTML page.
    Fireworks and Dreamweaver CS3 worked perfectly here.  Help!
    I just tried to do this on another computer.  This time when I pasted the Fireworks HTML onto the
    page in Dreamweaver it set the path correctly (it was a root relative path instead of a document
    relative path).  I tried to edit in Fireworks using the Edit button, and it opened Fireworks without
    any problem.  I made some changes then clicked the Done button.  Now the Done button is suppose
    to be like magic.  It is suppose to save the changes to the png file, make the changes on the HTML
    page in Dreamweaver, and change any of the supporting files (images) that have been edited.  It
    always worked this way in CS3, and anything less than this would be a huge step backwards.  In this
    case, it saved the changes to the png, but did not make any other changes.  The web page in
    Dreamweaver is still the same.  How do I get the Done button to work its magic using CS5.
    Another problem - when I paste the code onto the page, the page looks totally messed up.  If I save it
    and reopen it then it looks fine.  However, this never occurred with CS3.  Aren't updates to software
    suppose to be improvements?
    Thanks.
    Nathan

    Yes, the web site is correctly defined in Dreamweaver.  I teach web design for both high school and
    adult school, and I have done this procedure 100's of times with CS3.  There is something different with
    CS5.  I took your suggestion and imported the Fireworks HTML using Insert -> Image -> Fireworks HTML,
    but it still does not work.  I can edit it in Fireworks, hit the Done button, and the png file is saved but
    the HTML page remains the same.
    Also, the export does not get the path right, and it will not let me set the path right.  The only way the path
    is right is if the page that I am pasting the Fireworks HTML is in the same folder as the png.  It always
    sets the png's path as menu.png.  Therefore, if the page is in a different folder, the document relative path
    won't find it.  This was never a problem with CS3.  In fact, you could paste the code using Control-V and it
    would work 100% of the time.  That is how we always did it.  When exporting from Fireworks, I would set
    Export to "copy to clipboard" then move to Dreamweaver, click where I wanted the code pasted and do Control-V and presto it would
    always work.  You could come back a month later, select the table, click the Edit button, make changes
    in Fireworks, click the Done button and the changes would be reflected on the HTML page in Dreamweaver without
    doing anything more.  I have tried it with "copy to clipboard" and I have tried it with "export HTML file".  Neither
    works.  There is definitely something different between CS3 and CS5, and right now I am missing CS3.
    Thanks for your help.  I will keep fighting this until I get it, but any additional input would be appreciated.

  • External source editor

    Anyone know how to setup an external source editor?
    D11 allows one to change loads of media editors based on its
    "extension" and/or "mime/type", but there is in the list support
    for source editor, which IMHO is the most important of all.
    That and all the scripts DEFAULT to be writen as text files
    in the same directory as the cast/movie that they come from
    naturally.
    I would like to use a "serious" text editor to hack
    lingo/javascript scripts, not the internal text editor (which imho,
    should just be scraped and sticked to view/breakpoint/inspect
    mode).
    Thanx in advance,
    Kindaian

    I like to use NetBeans at
    http://www.netbeans.org/ . It
    does code folding, and has a nice javascript reference. You can set
    it up with Director by going to Edit->Preferences->Editors.
    Locate the Netbeans executable typically at:
    C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.5\bin\netbeans.exe
    Be forewarned though: You must specify an external file with
    the .js extension for Nebeans to know its a javascript file.
    Unfortunately, if you just double click any cast member that is a
    script, Director launches the editor opening a temp file with the
    extension .ls (as in Linked Script -dumb). Netbeans won't know what
    to do with it and won't show you all the Javascript features like
    code folding.
    You must specify the external file first. To do this,
    highlight the script cast member and use the Property Inspector in
    Director to specify the 'Link As' file. Note that Director cache's
    this file inside your .dir so you won't need to distribute the .js
    source with your project.

  • Can not select external input for sound

    can not select external input for sound

    Hey there RoosterMonkey,
    It sounds like you have Soundtrack Pro installed but you cannot select your external audio device as an input. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    Soundtrack Pro 3: Troubleshooting Basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3659
    Update to the latest software versions
    From the Apple () menu, choose Software Update and make sure that you have the most recent updates for your versions of Soundtrack Pro 3, QuickTime, Compressor, Pro Application Support, and other important system files. Installing the latest updates ensures that your software has the latest improvements and enhancements.
    Note: Be sure the application is in the Applications folder and is named Soundtrack Pro before running Software Update.
    Check compatibility and driver versions for third-party devices
    If you're using a third-party sound card, MIDI interface, storage system, control surface, or plug-in, check the support area on the manufacturer's website to be sure that you're using the latest version of the relevant driver or other software for your product. For information on troubleshooting possible issues with Audio Unit plug-ins, go to Soundtrack Pro 3: Troubleshooting Audio Unit plug-in issues.
    Try a different Multitrack Project or Audio File Project
    Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Soundtrack Pro. To create a fresh project, choose File, then New and select Multitrack Project or Audio File. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
    Delete the User Preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Soundtrack Pro to its original settings. This will not impact your project files. To reset your Soundtrack Pro user preference settings to their original state:
    Quit Soundtrack Pro if it is open.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu bar.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences  in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Remove the "com.apple.soundtrackpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro  in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Remove the "EffectsCache.plist" file from the Soundtrack Pro folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro/Layouts  in the "Go to folder" field.
    Remove the "Soundtrack Pro.saved.moduleLayout" file from the Layouts folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Caches in the "Go to folder" field.
    Remove the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" from the Caches folder.
    Remove receipts and reinstall Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor
    Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Soundtrack Pro and Compressor. To do this effectively, you need to remove the applications and their receipts, then install Soundtrack Pro and use Software Update to install additional updates. Compressor gets installed automatically when you install Soundtrack Pro. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Soundtrack Pro, so follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Soundtrack Pro. Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs handy before beginning.
    In Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard or OS X Lion
    Open the Terminal application and enter the following commands one at a time and an administrator password when prompted. Note: The commands are case sensitive.
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Compressor
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Qmaster
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.VideoOutSupport
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.PSTSharedA
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.AppleHDVCodec
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.AppleIntermediateCodec
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.DSPPublishing
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.SoundtrackPro
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Uncompressed422
    Then, reinstall Soundtrack Pro and Compressor using the following steps:
    Open the Applications folder. Drag the Soundtrack Pro and Compressor applications to the Trash.
    Insert your Logic Studio or Final Cut Studio installation disc and install Soundtrack Pro.
    When finished installing, choose the Apple () menu, then Software Update to update your software to the latest version.
    Open Soundtrack Pro to verify that the issue has been resolved.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Macbook pro(2008 later) can not recognise external monitor(NEC UXI2090) with mini-DP to DVI adapter with 9600GT

    I bought mini-DP to DVI frome Apple several monthes ago and it worked well in that time until yesterday the external monitor show me no signal sign. Other PCs were connected with the same cable and monitor and they are fine. I am wondering there is something wrong in the adaptor or macbook pro. Furthermore I found the external monitor can display nornally when I switched to 9400 graphic card and used mini-DP to VGA adapter. If I switch to 9600GT no signal again. If I switch 9400 using mini-DVI, it is shown on the external screening: Out of range... In a word, In the mode of 9600GT, mac can not recognise external monitor(I can not detect it in the systerm preference even I press detect display buttun) and 9400 works in VGA mode. However when I connect adapter to mac, the screen showed blue flash.
    I reseted SMC, no use; I created a new account or enter mac to safe mode, no use; so far I did not reseted PRAM beacuse of something wrong of my system. I am downlaoding Mountain Lion OS and will install it. Then I will reset PRAM and try again.
    I do not know whether I shoud change the adapter or the single-link DVI cable to dual-link. Someone said it is useful in their condition. I tried some methods from BBS, such as connected when devices were off and then open, and so on. I failed.
    Any suggestion for this problem?
    Addition: OS: 10.7.4(Lion)

    I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
    I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure.  Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous).  However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
    Hope that htis helps.

  • Can not fine external hard drive for time machine sence lion was installed

    I can not fine external hard drive for time machine sence lion was installed, it don't reconise it at all.

    I have a Mac Mini (late 2009) and I have an iomega 1TB external hard drive connected to my mini via firewire and usb (usb allows me to use the usb ports on the external 1TB drive to daisy chain other devices).  Since I installed Lion, my Time Machine  and this 1TB drive (and its partitions) is finicky.  Sometimes it is mounted and sometimes it is not.   This issue has only surfaced post Snow Leopard and in the Lion era. I am not the first to say this but the whole reason I went Mac was b/c of Vista.  I am beginning to think that Lion is the new Vista.  Sorry for the latter, just venting... b/c this ain't the first issue with Lion.

  • Hello, I have a Macbook pro retina-2013.  About Mavericks I could set my 4K monitor via HDMI on 2560x1440.  This I can not set at Yosemite. Can someone help me there?

    Hello, I have a Macbook pro retina-2013.  About Mavericks I could set my 4K monitor via HDMI on 2560x1440.  This I can not set at Yosemite. Can someone help me there?

    They really pushed that it would all work great! Has anyone had the same struggle? Are there any step-by-step instructions to get linked up?
    Call Verizon's wireless tech support & explain your problem to them.  They will provide "step-by-step" instructions over the phone. 
    Take notes too!
    TIP:  If you do call & don't want to go through all those darn promps, when you initially call, just don't say anything.  The automatic voice will then say,  "will connect you to a service rep."

  • TS2972 My Apple TV 3 can not set time network, since one week from now, before was working perfectly

    My Apple TV 3 just stop working, it can not set the time network I have call for support and done everything as requested and still nothing, can somebody help me with This it has pass a week and nothing yet. I even restored as support toll me too, no timé still can be set. HELP PLEASE

    I have the exact same problem as KAR1973, and have tried everything.  Relatively new latest Gen ATV, worked fine for couple  months, then suddenly today will not set network time, will not activate, and only shows the "computer" and "settings" icons on menu screen.   Will not allow me to log into AppleID/Itunes account.
    Very frustrating.  Tried resetting, restoring (on screen and directly connected to Itunes) mutliple times, rebooted router multiple times, even checked the ntp settings in router (get network time shows as "enabled"), tried it all on wireless and ethernet, and still same problem. 
    Appears many people have same problem based on google searches.   My question is what is Apple doing about this??  Am tired of spending hours trying to figure this out, so am putting it away, and will buy a Roku or another competitor's box instead. 
    Apple needs to do a better job standing by its product, figure out what the problem is, and put out some helpful guidance, particularly for people who don't have advanced computer or network expertise (inculding myself.) 

  • I can not set up a firewall for my computer.  I can get to the place I'm supposed to get to but am unable to click start.

    I can not set up a firewall for my computer.  I can get to the place I'm supposed to get to but am unable to click start.

    If the Start Firewall button is grey (inactive) check to see if the pad lock is "locked" in the lower left corner of the screen.  If so, click it and enter the Administrator password to unlock it.  Then you can start the firewall.

    I have the same problem...  IDK why I have an empty shutdown dialogue.  I also have a bunch of non user users appear through it's menu.
    It appears the problem has to do with most Arch installs not having consolekit anymore...

  • SAPCAR: can not set permissions for /EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF

    We are running SUM 1.0 SP10 on IBM i with V7R1 to put EHP6 and SP's on an ERP 6.0 system.  Phase PREP_PRE_CHECK/SCANDIR_EPS0 repeatedly ends with multiple errors that SAPCAR: can not set permissions for /EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF file.  We tried increasing the sidADM and R3GROUP authority to the file, but it changes them back and ends with a different number of errors each time, see example:

    Has anyone lse exprienced this and can share a fix?
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    We had the same issue, and in my opinion it is caused by the parallelisation of sapcar during SUM phase PREP_PRE_CHECK/SCANDIR_EPS0
    I did see several parallel SAPCAR jobs running during this phase.
    So what happens when one job extracts SIGNATURE.SMF at the same time another job tries to finalize its extraction by setting the permissions for /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF?
    It can happen that permissions are being set at the same time another sapcar yust deletes this file to begin extracting.
    Since we had 146 SAR archives that needed to be extracted, a retry allways ended up in 4 to 12 conflicts.
    What did do the trick was adding
    /sapcar/extrcact_parallel = 0
    to the file
    ../SUM/abap/bin/SAPup.par
    Just as Christoph Langer suggested.
    We had to restart the whole phase, a repeat was not enough to solve the problem.

  • Can not set  multicastRelayMarginDuration

    hello
    i try set the multicastRelayMarginDuration in my p2p application multicast broadcaster
    netStream.multicastWindowDuration = 31;  // change default for everybody
    netStream.multicastPushNeighborLimit = 10; // change default for everybody
    netStream.multicastRelayMarginDuration = 5; // change default for everybody
    netStream.publish("stream");
    netStream.multicastRelayMarginDuration = 5; //test for HD
    //netStream.multicastPushNeighborLimit = 10;
    //netStream.multicastWindowDuration = 30;
    i test with http://osmf.org/dev/1.6gm/setup.html and see the
    multicastWindowDuration is set to 31 sec for everybody this works fine
    the multicastPushNeighborLimit is alwys 4 i think this is ok because its an security limit set this value to more than 4
    but the multicastRelayMarginDuration is alwys 2 sec is this normal? i can not set this value?
    best regards

    the multicastPushNeighborLimit and multicastRelayMarginDuration are set individually at each member; they are not inherited from the publisher. the defaults are 4 and 2 seconds respectively.
    you can override any of the multicast parameters (including the window duration) at each peer. listen for NetStream.MulticastStream.Reset (which signals (re)attachment of a low-level multicast stream) and set/override the ones you want to change each time.
    the parameters that are inherited from the publisher (but can still be overridden at each peer) are:
      multicastWindowDuration
       multicastAvailabilitySendToAll
       multicastAvailabilityUpdatePeriod
    also, if multicastPushNeighborLimit is 0, peers will inherit 0. if the publisher has a non-zero multicastPushNeighborLimit, peers will start with the default of 4.
    these parameters are not inherited from the publisher, and have default initial values at each peer:
      multicastFetchPeriod
       multicastPushNeighborLimit (see exception/explanation above)
       multicastRelayMarginDuration
