Can Task Path Bar Styles be left static from view to view?

I just got access to a 2013 upgrade and I see that the big new capability is to use a "Task Path" function.  I see that if you check any one of the 4 types (like driving predecessor) then Project will insert symbology for a milestone, task,
and summary into Format==>BarStyles for that type.  Furthermore, Project inserts those bar styles where it makes sense to Project.  If you uncheck a particular Task Path function, then Project removes all the bar styles for that function.
The problem is that what makes sense for Project maybe doesn't make sense for my team and myself.  For example, I might want the Predecessor bar style to be shown even over a critical item.  Or maybe I want to show a different bar style for something
that is a Predecessor and is critical.
How can we create a view that identifies the Task Function bar styles that we want (maybe with different colors or bar shapes) and preserve those bar styles so that it is easily repeatable?
Chris

Ben, the problem is that bar styles for Driven Successors is dynamically introduced and removed by Project whenever you toggle that function.  Yes, you can create another set of bar styles for Driven Successors and give them different names, but the
moment you toggle-on the Driven Successors function, Project is going to introduce their own Driven Successors bar styles in addition to the ones that I have created.  Consider the following example where I toggled-on Path Driven Successors, then added
my name to the begining of each of the 3 Path Drive Successor Bar Styles.  I then toggled-off that function, then toggled it back on.  Please look at what happened to the Bar Styles:
As can be seen from this example, the bar styles that Microsoft introduced after I re-toggled the Path Driven Successors is now below the ones that I renamed.  Yes, I could put my version of Path Driven Successors at the bottom of the Bar Styles so
that mine will take precedence, but I am annoyed that the tool is using logic for which I have no control in terms of where it is inserting those dynamic bar styles.  Why couldn't the tool just recognize a certain set of bar styles and leave it to
us as to whether or not we want them in a view?

  • Can you filter on "Task Path" items?

    I am testing the limits of the "Task Path" fuctionality for v2013.  Is it possible to filter for those tasks that meet a specific "Task Path" criteria?  For example, if I select "Driving Predecessors" can I get a list
    of only those tasks that are the Driving Predecessors for that task?  If so, what column needs to be filtered?
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    Unfortunately you cannot filter based on the task path criteria. They are not in any project field/column but just accessible via the bar format in the Gantt Chart. I guess it would be possible to do some VBA but this cannot be done out-of-the-box.
    Hope this helps,

  • Mozilla crashed yesterday and now bookmarks are not showing along the left side of page as they did before. They are on the menu bar but hubby does not like this location. Anyway I can get it back to the left side of the page?

    This spring we changed from IE to Mozilla after upgrading to Win 7. Everything has been fine with Firefox until yesterday when it crashed when I attempted to open an email. Since then the bookmarks (or favorites as my husband calls them) have not been in their usual place which was along the left side of the page. They are located in the Bookmarks bar at the top of the page but husband prefers the old IE way which we had until yesterday PM. Is there any way that we can get them back to the left side of the page other than going back to IE? Now that I have gotten used to Firefox I like it just fine.

    *You can open the Bookmarks in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > Bookmarks (Ctrl+B)
    *You can open the History in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > History (Ctrl+H)
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    You can find toolbar buttons to open the bookmarks (star) and the history (clock) in the sidebar in the toolbar palette and drag them on a toolbar.<br />
    Firefox 4 versions and later have two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
    One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.<br />
    The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.<br />

  • I want the reload button to appear outside the address bar (on the left, next to the back and forward buttons), not at the extreme end of the address bar. How can I do this?

    I want to re-position the reload button to appear outside the address bar (on the left, next to the back and forward buttons), not where it is at the moment, which is at the extreme end of the address bar and is a real hassle to use. How can I do this?

    To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    * Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise (Space or Separator) to get two distinct buttons.

  • My blue task/status bar at the bottom of the page is no longer visible. How do I turn that back on? The status bar feature under view does display it.

    For some reason the blue status/task bar that would normally display at the bottom of the webpage (shows time, etc.) is no longer visible. I do not know how it got turned off and going to view-status bar simply enables a gray bar to display that says "done". I have searched using terms like "display task bar", etc and nothing comes up but view- status bar.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    That is the Windows Taskbar and not part of Firefox.
    The Firefox Status Bar shows messages like Looking up and Waiting for and loading and Done.
    If you do not see that Taskbar with Firefox closed then you may have hidden it.
    Try to move the mouse at the bottom and see if you can pull it up with the left mouse button pressed.
    If the Taskbar disappear if you open Firefox the check the Properties of the Taskbar to make sure that it is always visible.

  • Task Status bar?

    Hey all,
    Running a procedure in forms that reads from a spreadsheet, and then writes the data to a flat file. For the 500 or so lines it has to write, it is taking a considerable amount of time. I would love to have one of these "Task in Process" things come up so the user sees something ticking away instead of just staring at the screen. Help?

  • Can one set "Navigation Pane Buttons" Left Sidebar to 'Default Hidden' and 'Not Open' upon opening Any .pdf document?

    Can one set "Navigation Pane Buttons" Left Sidebar to 'Default Hidden' and 'Not Open' upon opening Any .pdf document?

    Photoshop has to have full administrator rights to have read/write access.
    This means you need to run Photoshop CS5.1 in an Administrator account and set it up to "Run as Administrator."
    1. Close Photoshop if it's open.
    2. Right click on your Photoshop CS5.1 launch icon then select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu. (You will have to enter Admin Password if UAC is enabled to change this setting.)
    3. Launch Photoshop CS5.
    4. See if you create and save a document.
    Even if you are in an Administrator account you have to do this as Vista's Admin account isn't really the Super Admin as it is in XP so you have to elevate the rights by selecting "Run as Administrator". This setting is sticky so you should only have to do this once. I am not sure why CS3 is suddenly acting as if it does't have Admin rights unless you are running it in a new account that isn't an administrator or maybe uninstalled (cleanScript?) then reinstalled.
    If can't create or save a document, check that the account that Photoshop is in is an Administrator account.
    To check if you are in an Administrator account...
    1. Type user account in your Vista or Windows7 start search bar. (Start search bar is at the bottom of the panel that opens when you click the start Windows start globe located on the far left hand side of your Windows task bar.)
    2.  Click on "User Accounts" which should show up at the top of the list. This will open the dialog to User Accounts where you can "Change Your Account Type". If UAC (User Account Control) is turned on, you will need to enter the Admin password to change this setting.

  • How to enter a full pathname in the path bar?

    Hi guys,
    I have a very simple question: Is it possible to enter a full pathname (Something like C:/MyDoc/Images/Subfolder/image) directly in the path bar like you can in the Windows Explorer, or do i have to click to that location every time again?
    Thanks in advance!
    Nicky

    First, thanks for the very quick responses!
    However, I still don't get to do what I want: entering the full string (path) at once. The image below displays the bar I'm talking about. I can't "exit the graph" by clicking just to the right of it.
    I'm sorry but I think I'm missing something :O
    Clicking on the arrows just shows me the contents op that particular folder.

  • When I render my video I get a black bar on the left side of the screen

    I just upgraded to FCS 2 and so far it's been a complete waste of money. I'm having nothing but problems with FCP, Compressor, and QMaster. I will just post my FCP problem here.
    I've edited a weekly video podcast and everything looks great, until I render it and export it. When I render it, I get a constant, solid black bar on the far left of the video that takes up about 5% of the screen. My layers are definitely sized correctly to fill up the entire canvas, and they are all centered. I cannot figure out why I am getting this black bar or how to get rid of it without ditching the upgrade and going back to FCP5.1.
    I have already tried completely uninstalling the FCS suite and reinstalling. No luck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.
    My original source material is in Apple Intermediate Codec, with 32-bit float audio and a variable frame rate. This has not been friendly to FCP, so I use Quicktime to convert it to Apple ProRes with 24-bit audio and 29.97 frame rate. This is what I import into FCP.
    My sequence settings are set to the same specs as my source material. 854x480, square pixels, no field dominance, Apple ProRes compression.
    The black bar on the left side of the screen shows up before I even export. It shows up when I render everything.
    I am exporting with Quicktime Conversion to:
    MP4
    h.264 codec
    720x405
    1000 video bit rate
    Main Profile
    No cropping/filters or anything.
    The ONLY thing I did different before upgrading to FCP6 was that I used Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through. I was told by an FCP instructor that writes and publishes all kinds of FCP training material that I should upgrade to FCP6 and use the Apple ProRes422 Codec instead, so that's what I'm trying to do.
    I am going back to restart my project using Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through like I used to, but it will be awhile before I can tell if that solved the problem. Either way, I would like to be using the ProRes codec....
    Thoughts?

  • I took a photo and can see it in the bottom left hand corner when i'm in camera, but can't see it when i click on it. What do I do?

    I took a picture on my 5s, and can see it in the bottom left hand corner when i'm in the camera, but when i tap on it, it isn't there. I've tried restarting my phone, closing out the photo app, nothing has helped. Please help!

    Hi TrinityFire, thank you for the update. It seems wrong that a site could limit you to using one method of "clicking". I wonder whether there is a Firefox setting to always ensure that mouse clicking will work even if your device has a touchscreen?
    Could you check these two preferences and see whether they make any difference:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''touch''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Try double-clicking the following to toggle them to false:
    dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled = <s>true (default)</s> ''See Note''<br>
    dom.w3c_touch_events.expose = true (default)
    You might need to restart after changing these settings before they take effect.
    Does this switch the site from touch to mouse click? Or make it stop working altogether?
    ''Note: dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled requires a numeric setting, see cor-el's post below.''

    You mean you want to create a shorcut to a website on your home screen?  If so, go to the site you want to create it for in Safari, tap the share button on the top left (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Add to Home Screen.  Taping this icon in the future will launch Safari and take you to this site.
    Not sure what you mean by home page for iCloud, but you can't go to icloud.com from your iPad if that's what you want to do.  You have to go there from your computer browser.

  • How do I see the multi-task menu bar?

    I am trying to find a way to stop the app "Magellan Road Mate" when I am finished. Seems simple, however, there is no provision for turning the app off. Magellan says to go tap and hold the icon in the multi-task menu bar until a - sign appears then tap the minus sign and that will turn the app off. Being among the technically "near illiterate", I can't seem to find the "Multi-Task Menu Bar".
    Can anyone help me out? Any direction will be appreciated. It is embarrasing to be walking through a lobby in a hotel and suddenly your hip speaks...."recalculating route..."

    Get back to the Home screen, double tap the Home button and the icons along the bottom will turn into the multitasking bar. Tap and hold one of these till they wiggle with a minus button on them. You an scroll sideways to find the apps you wish to close. Press the Home button once to remove the button then once again to return to the Home screen.
    If you have an Apps running when you double tap it will not appear in the multitask bar till you exit to the home screen or change apps.
