Create custom folders with custom icons like created by Vibe
I would like to create a custom folder and sub folder in the GW folder list to link to an outside feature. Ideally, it would display in a custom pane on the right like the email list, forum plugin or calendar view.
You might want to have a look at Russ Ward's WS Utilities: http://weststreetconsulting.com/WSC_Utils.htm
ImpGraph by the late Bruce Foster also did most of this, but is no longer available.
Steve Kubis' AutoText may also provide part of the solution (custom sized Anchored Frames): see: http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html
You can also create custom anchored frames on your Reference pages and then copy & paste from there. Automatically scaling an imported file to properly fit would require a custom FrameScript or plug-in - FM's auto-scaling on import may distort your graphic.

Mac attempting to open folders with the Icon Composer application
When opening a folder from anything other than a finder window(like the "Open In Finder" button in a stack or by clicking the preview icon in the Get Info box) my Mac attempts to open the folder with the Icon Composer application. Of corse this produces an error saying the Icon Composer cannot open files of this type. It is like the "Open With" setting got messed up somehow though there is no "open with" option for a folder that I can find. It does not matter whether the Icon Composer is running or not though this issue did not start until after I ran the application for the first time.
I have tried renaming the finder's .plist file and the finder's settings seem reset but the problem persists. If it were a problem with the Dock it would not persist within other apps(including the Get Info window right?
Any advice?never see this one. try resetting launch services. delete the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.launchservices.plist and try this again.

How to make Safari not autoexpand folders with same icon when adding a bookmark
I am just stunned at how hard it is to add bookmarks to Safari. Any ideas?
The deal. I have a highly organized, highly nested, voluminous bookmark list. When I go to add them, Safari auto-expands all folders, uses the same icon for them no matter if they are child or parents, and has no toggle to collapse. I would like a collapsable list by default and then expand to add. Man, I hate to sound negative, but this is 101 usability design and RIM does the same thing that Apple does for their backup on the BBErry when you want to select what you are backing up - autoexpand, no collapse, same icon. I think that's enough said on usabilityhttp://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5846081

I've created a series of custom icons for Acrobat files and burned them to a CD. When a PC user uses the CD the custom icons don't show up. Any ideas?
Thanks, Tom for your prompt reply.
Yes, the files do have proper extensions. They show up on the PC and work fine, just with the standard icons rather than my custom ones.
I used Mac's Finder for burning to an external LaCie CD/DVD burner.
Could the problem be on the PC?
I've got a G4 1.42 GHz operating OSX 10.4
JD, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Do the files have names as icon.pdf? the PC needs the
".pdf".
What burn app did you use? Did you use the HFS+/ISO
9660 format on the discs?
Cheers, Tom

Need help on creating custom skins like chrome
Hi,
I want to create my custom skin like chrome with my own play, pause and seek buttons. Can anybody point me to any documents that can help me to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
AmitThats a very open ended question. We have built a sample OSMF player and a skinning solution you can take a look at. http://code.google.com/p/reops/
There are templates and a PDF that describes the capabilities and process. Also walkthrough style samples.
Otherwise the generic answer is desgn as you see fit, and implement the controls as display objects or part of the MediaContainer which could be done as custom MediaElements, then link them to the MediaPlayer or MediaPlayerSprite and call the approp API methods (play/pause/stop/seek/etc.) -
Create a Custom Icon to Replace the Standard URL Icon in Dock
I would like to change the "springy thing"/URL icon in my dock to a custom picture showing the logo for the webpage for that particular "springy thing." Is it possible to change the spring to a custom icon? If so, how can I do this? Your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)Generic urls dragged directly to the "Dock" will use that default icon (or whatever icon is substituted), but every url will use that same icon.
If the goal is to have separate urls in the "Dock", each with its own custom icon, try dragging a url to the "Desktop" first, which should result in the creation of a ".webloc" file. The file can be given a custom icon the usual way via "Get Info", and added to the "Dock", but note that this requires that the ".webloc" file be stored somewhere for that "Dock" shortcut to remain valid. -

Trouble with some documents: no custom icon, only generic appears
I tried anything: rebuilt launch servcice, permission repair, daily, weekly, monthly scripts (using maintanace, onyx, etc...) BUT all the documents associated with Openoffice have no custom icon. I also tried reinstalling oo with no success. It happens with textedit and keynote (using "get info", open with, apply to all) and don't know why?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks!You could create a new admin user and move the data within each of these folders to the corresponding folder on the new account: Desktop, Documents. Library, Movies, Music, etc. You can di it most easily IMO, by copying your Home folder to DVD first. Alternatively, you could use Users/Shared for the data.
But it would really be best to sort this issue in your present user.
It would be a good idea to test with a new user though to see if the problem exists there.
Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your OO & TE work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

Can't publish with custom icons
Whenever I attempt to publish an AIR app for which I've selected a custom icon, I get an error message, "An attribute or element contains an invalid value in the application descriptor file. (application.icon.image128x128)"
Looking in the file "TL Report processor-app.xml" which is created alongside the app, I see that where presumably the path to the icon file should be, I see:
<image128x128>AppIconsForAIRPublish/AM initials.png</image128x128>
instead of the complete path to the PNG that I entered in the Publish settings.
What the f@*# gives?Hi Cj
There are a zillion threads on this general problem so you will find plenty of detailed ideas and fixes if you need to go digging. But your problem sounds like one I have from time to time even with 1.1.1. My fix has been to delete the notorious prepublishstate file from the domain package for your iweb site, and then to make minor changes to the pages where comments are not showing. Then republish your site and bingo there they are.
If I have spoken too much in code and riddles and you want to try this fix but need more precise details, just let me know.

Problem with custom icon on toolbar (iPhone Beta 6 SDK)
I created two custom icons, using transparency so they are white lines on a transparent background, to add to a toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
toolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleDefault;
UIBarButtonItem *theItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"MyImage.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(theAction:)] autorelease];
On the simulator, this shows properly a white icon on the grayish toolbar. On the device itself, it shows a white box the size of the icon. It still works.Problem persists in Beta 7. However a workaround (which might have worked in Beta 6, I don't know) is this: use GIF files with transparency, rather than PNG files with transparency. These display properly on both simulator and device.

When saving a File OS Is Creating Multiple Folders With The Same File Name
Not sure what I changed but, now when I save a any file (ppt. word, Keynote,Pages e.g.,) to the desktop or any other location the OS will also create multiple file folders with the same file name as the file I'm saving. Inside the folders are what appears to be files locating the saved files. What can I do to fix this problem?
I'm using the 10.7.2 version

It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.
Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
Please advise.
it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case.
