Copy/paste groups? Hierarchical groups?

I've just checked out Apple Mail/AddressBook for the first time, and it looks like there's no way for me to create a group without first entering all of the individuals into my address book as contacts. Is this correct? I have dozens of students' email address I want to drop into a group. I don't want them as individual contacts.
And is there no support for hierarchical groups? Class101 and Class102 are both members of SpringSemester, etc. This has been available for decades in Pine.
Both capabilities are available now in Mulberry, which runs quite well on the Mac. I just thought I'd check out Apple's offering, expecting it to be good, because I've generally been impressed with their user interaction design. But if these features really are missing, these are killer deficiencies for me.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!
Steve

Hello,
I'm trying to recreate this scenario here but I seem to haev no luck. I'm going to assume it's a bug but to file it I need to be able to reproduce it constantly. Would you mind giving us the schematic, or steps that you take when this bug happens. I created 2 HBs with a filter in each and saved those files separately. Then in my main design, I got some inputs, and using <Ctrl+H> I chose the HBs that i created and pasted them in the schematic. After wiring them, I proceeded to select one of the HBs and <Ctrl+C> and <Ctrl+V> within the same schematic but none of the things you mentioned occured. Can you explain in deatil the steps to create this error?
Kind Regards,

  • Copied/pasted group of components lose many properties

    (Xcelsius 2008 SP1 FP1 5.1.1.0 (Build 12,1,1,344), Windows XP SP2)
    After copying/pasting 120 or so grouped components all at once, the Value, Check box and Toggle components seemed to lose most of their properties.  The main container within the group of copied objects is a panel container that included nested groups of labels, rectangles, values, check boxes and toggles.
    Specific example: All Value components originally had a title position of "Left" and specific font name/sizes.  They also had specific X axis offsets.  And of course, each was pointed to a specific spreadsheet cell.  The copies, however, reverted to the respective defaults for all properties minus the text of the titles.  (This is of course not an exhaustive list of the affected components/properties).
    I have already had experience copying smaller groups of components and did not see this effect, so I wonder if there is a threshold of some kind here.

    Thank you, Purnima.  Despite my fears, copying and pasting smaller groups within the larger nesting appears to be working out pretty well, so this may become a non-issue for me.  Nevertheless, it would be great if a future version of Xcelsius would support larger groups within a copy and paste.

  • Copy paste buttons

    Hey,
    I frequently need to copy paste groups of several element, which include buttons, into frames (in order to create scrollable frames for DPS), and every time I do that with a "Go to State" buttons, they lose their properties and I have to recreate them, which is pretty cumbersome to do, and especially so when the button isn't in the visible part of the frame.This happens both in CS5.5 and CS6
    Is there any way to past a button into a frame without losing the button's action?
    Thanks

    @Bob – yesterday I began writing a script snippet that is something like a proof of concept, that it is possible to duplicate a button to a rectangle or any kind of object that can hold a button object.
    But before presenting that, let me explain its basic functionality.
    1. In scripting we have one principle method to get a duplicate of a button object and therefore not losing the target MSO information: the duplicate() method.
    2. duplicate() applied to a "Button" object will not get us in the right direction, because the target of the duplicate() method can only be a "Spread", a "Page" or a "Layer". Or you could move the duplicated button with  x/y values on a spread or a page. The target could not be a rectangle or a state in an MSO. So this seems to be a dead end.
    3. But, and here comes the clue, you are able to move or duplicate a "Character" or a "Texts" object from one text frame to another. And this is the key to a possible solution:
    If you are working with anchored objects ("Button", "Groups of Buttons" or any other object that you could paste inside of an insertion point in a text frame), you could duplicate or move that object around. The "Button" in this case is simply represented as a "Character" object that flows with the text frame.
    For "Texts" objects (and a single character (=anchored button) is a subset of "Texts") the duplicate() method supports the following parameters:
    1. The position of the duplicated character in regards of the target insertion point or text:
    LocationOptions.AFTER
    Places the object after the reference object.
    LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING
    Places the object at the beginning of the containing object.
    LocationOptions.AT_END
    Places the object at the end of the containing object.
    LocationOptions.BEFORE
    Places the object before the reference object.
    LocationOptions.UNKNOWN
    No location specified.
    2. The target (a "Texts" object, a insertion point, a character, a word, a paragraph) could be the same text frame of the original anchored button or a different text frame. And that could be a new text frame, that could be easily added to a rectangle, a state of an MSO etc.pp. with:
    myRectangle.textFrames.add();
    That implies we only need two ingredients to make that concept work:
    A source text frame and a target text frame.
    The source is a text frame that holds an anchored button and should be easily identified by the script. The user (you) could do this by renaming it in the Layers Panel. Just replace its generic name "<Textframe>" with "Source".
    The target could be a rectangle. For ease of use it could be a selected rectangle and the script will work with the selection.
    What the script is doing:
    It identifies the source text frame by its name (therfore it should be unique in the document) and duplicates all its characters (eg. the anchored button, but could be any anchored object) to a new text frame that will be added on the fly to the selected rectangle.
    And here comes the script (JavaScript):
    //DuplicateAnchoredObjectsTo_SELECTION.jsx
    //DESCRIPTION:Just a proof of concept!
    //Uwe Laubender
    * @@@BUILDINFO@@@ DuplicateButtonTo_SELECTION.jsx !Version! Sat Sep 15 2012 19:39:03 GMT+0200
    var myDoc = app.documents[0];
    var mySel = app.selection[0];
    try{
    var mySource = myDoc.pageItems.itemByName("Source").texts[0];
    var myTarget = mySel.textFrames.add({geometricBounds:mySel.geometricBounds}).insertionPoints[0];
    mySource.duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER,myTarget);
    }catch(e){alert(e.message)};
    It's not exactly the thing you like to do, because it requires some preparations:
    you have to anchor the object you like to duplicate,
    you have to define the target MSO after you anchored the source button,
    you have to rename the text frame
    and:
    you get an additional text frame at the target rectangle and that is adding some complexity to the structure of your document, but hey, it's working…
    Here are some screen grabs to illustrate the preparation of the source and showing the results after running the script:
    1. Prepare the button as an anchored object (sorry, but the UI is in German, but I think you'll get it):
    2. Rename the source text frame from "<Textframe>" to a unique name.
    In this case: "Source":
    3. Define the target MSO in the button at that stage.
    By copy/paste the button to the text frame you already lost the target MSO.
    4. Select the target rectangle you want to duplicate the button to:
    (the green rectangle represents the first state of the MSO on this spread. It's just an example)
    5. Run the script:
    6. Inspect the results:
    6.1 The button sits in the selected rectangle
    6.2 To be precise: it's the first character in a text frame that is added to the target rectangle.
    The added text frame has the exact size and position of your selection:
    6.3 Inspect the button: the target  is not lost. The MSO is still addressed by the button:
    Instead of a single button as the source, you could use a variety of objects:
    groups, several buttons anchored one after another etc.pp.
    And remember: this is just a proof of  concept so error management is hardly implemented.

  • Copy/paste a group of finder names

    hello, in the old days (sys 9 and earlier), i was able to select a group of files in the finder, copy the names as text and paste into something of my choice (email text editor, etc).
    when i do this now, the items themselves are pasted into my email document, NOT the names of the files. if i want the text only, it seems i have to select the file, hit return or enter and copy/paste.
    what am i doing wrong here? this is embarrassing to ask, because it's so simple. and i seem to recall it worked sometime in the past under os x. thanks for your time. marc

    ticia, thanks for your help. i tried the paste in indesign cs2, and it pasted the file names, not the items. the files i question were a bunch of jpgs. textedit pasted the jpgs, not the file names.
    its good to know some apps will serve as a work around, i just wish i could do it directly in mail. i frequently need to ask a client about the files i have (i work in an ad agency), and copying the names as a group is a whole lot easier than one by one, or re-typing.
    thanks again. btw, what part of TN do you live in? i have a bunch of family on the knoxville area. marc

  • How to transfer (copy/move/paste) group layer to another page or file?

    Hi
    I wanted to transfer a set of group layer to another page in Fireworks CS5, how can I do that?
    When I try to copy paste, it doesnt paste as a group instead paste as layers, then I have to again group it and name it Why Fireworks doesn't understand that I have copied a set of group layer?

    You can share a layer to another page in Fireworks by selecting the layer in the Layers panel, then clicking on the small fly-out menu in the upper-righthand corner of the Layers panel and choosing "Share Layer to Pages". This opens up a two-column dialog, where can select the new page and add it to the right-hand column, "Include layer to page(s)".
    As far as moving a layer into another file, you may need to use a Command like "L - Copy to Next Doc" from John Dunning's Frame and Layer Utilities command set:

  • How to copy field groups when editing a form?

    Hi everyone,
    I´m setting up a form using Acrobat X Pro. When I copy paste fields, they end up in the same field group. Could anyone tell me how to copy groups?
    In my case, I would like to copy the answer options from one question, using them as the answer options for the next question.
    Any idea?
    Thanks a lot!!
    Andy

    Thank you!
    I still hoped that there would be an easier way - also the Radio Button Choices change in weird ways once I change the name...
    If there is still anybody who has a better way of going about this - please send a quick message.
    Thanks again and best wishes

  • Copy Object group

    Hi
    Forms Builder (9.0.4.2.0) DB - 10gR2
    I just want to copy one object group from one form to another.
    Only thing source object group also sub classed. I tried copy/paste and drag and drop
    It didn't work.
    Then I tried copy from the original form which is not sub classed from any. Still didn't work.
    What's the concept behind.

    Hi Magoo
    When check the subclass information of object group
    there could see
    Object
    Object Name - Obj1
    Module - Mod1
    But I need the same object group (OG1) in form1 to be placed in the Form2.
    When I check the Mod1 it's a another Form where it has a object group (Obj1) which is not sub class to any
    How could this be done

  • Oracle Drive - Copying page groups

    I was just reading another thread regarding copying an entire page group. This is something I really need to do, but have no clue how to do it. Could someone explain the process please?
    Thanks so much!!
    Jenny

    Hi Jenny,
    It's a very interesting Process - Oracle Drive leverages the WebDAV Technology to access Content Repositories.
    WebDAV is an extension to the HTTP Protocol - HTTP has been traditionally used to "read" from different Servers - meaning, you wouldn't use HTTP to upload documents, delete documetns, etc. However, with the WebDAV extension, you can now do copy,paste, delete in a very convenient way ( youc an think of WebDAV as similar to FTP, but more lightweight ).
    You just need to install & "configure" Oracle Drive - you just need to Tell Oracle Drive the URL of your Portal DAV Server & a username + password. Once connected, you can see the Portal Page Groups as Folders - you can then just copy & paste. It's very simple :).
    I suggest that you have a look at this WhitePaper ( Technote: How to Install and Configure the Oracle Drive ) to get a good grounding on Oracel Drive :-

    I hope that helps !

    No. If you used any upload tools like LSMW, perhaps you may use that for uploading the second controlling area.

  • Copy a Group in ACS 4.2 ??

    I see no way to copy a group in ACS 4.2. Am I missing something?
    thanks
    Bob

    I do not have a specific requirement just yet, but this will likely change in a few weeks.
    Simply put the detailed requirement is to copy a user group. It either can (or cannot) be done.
    More specifically, let's say I've a user group, I've done some configuration to get that group just the way I want it. The users in the group can issue the debug command. I want to create a new group that has the exact configuration EXCEPT the ability to issue the debug command. I would expect I could copy the first group to a new group and then edit the new group so the the debug command is restricted. Is thsi not possible?
    thanks
    Bob

  • Error - Copying Function Group STXW

    Friends,
    I am trying to copy Function Group STXW into Z_STXW with one function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
    But I am not able to activate the main program SAPLZ_STXW. I get an error 'Field OTF is unknown'. But OTF is an internal table already defined in the function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF (I have activated this FM). I also have activated all other includes.
    Please resolve. Thanks in advance.
    Warm Regards
    Sagar

    <u>Scenario 1(when you copied only 1 function module).</u>
    If you are able to successfully activate, then the problem may be with navigation index not being regenerated correctly. To do that, go to your function module display in SE37. Once inside the source code, in the menu, 'Utilities--> update navigation index' will do the trick.
    <u>Scenario 2(where you copied all the function modules)</u>
    Here the error is coming because the function module in question has its parameters declared as global. Probably when you copied yours are not. You can check that in attributes tab of the function module. To globalize your function module's parameters, you have to be in change mode. In the menu, 'Edit>Interface> Globalize parameter' will do the trick.
