Creating an alias - is this a bug or what??

Please let me know if this is a bug or a "feature"!!! As I understand things (a few changes since OS 6.0.4 in 1989...) there are 4 ways to create an alias when one is in a folder. For example, I'm in my Applications folder with 300 items in that folder. Generally I put my aps into a folder with the name of that app and the word folder. (I used to use ƒ but read that Unix doesn't appreciate that symbol)-- OK back to the main point: ALIAS creation - 4 ways I know to do this:
1. I right-click and choose Make Alias with the folder or icon selected
2. I hold down the option and command keys and select the folder or icon, then drag it just a bit and voilà - an alias.
3. I choose the folder or icon I want and then do cmd-L to create the alias.
4. I go to the file menu after selecting the folder and choose Make Alias
GREAT all 4 work (is there a 5th way?)--
BUT when I do choices 3 or 4, then instead of everything staying in place, the alias is created and then the screen jumps to the very top - to the "A" or numbered labeled folders / apps!
NOTE: My apps folder has the view choice to ARRANGE BY NAME. If I change this to none - then cmd-L or Make Alias just makes the alias in-place!
BUT choices 1 and 2 also keep the window of my apps folder in the same location EVEN WHEN IN THE ARRANGE BY NAME mode.
Again - is this a bug or a feature? Certainly annoying to make an alias and then have to go back and search for the alias... And note: If arrangement is SNAP TO GRID then choices 3 and 4 for creating an alias also have the screen jump to the "A" folders, i.e. the BUG!
Any comments appreciated - this is a real pain as I keep many of my folders organized by SNAP TO GRID or ORGANIZE BY NAME.
Best regards,

Thanks for your fast reply! There are 3 issues and I'm mainly concerned with #3- but I likely confused everyone with my long post - so let me try this:
1. Moving Apps out of the Applications folder: You are right, it is best to keep the apps in the Applications folder. Especially Apple's applications - for the update and maybe other reasons and I do that.
2. Creating an alias and where does the alias go: That's right, it has the same name and just the word alias added to the end so YES it stays right next to the original (especially when the folder is in the Arrange by Name view). So no problem there - mine is the same.
3. Third issue is really my only concern: The act of creating an alias by cmd-L or the menu: In a window that scrolls, i.e. with many apps or several apps with large icon size (I should mention I'm talking in ICON view here)-- when you make an alias, the window automatically scrolls to the very top. So if you have a folder with 300 apps in it and you make an alias of ZEBRA FOLDER, then the alias is in the correct place but the window scrolls to the top (AARDVARK Folder or whatever).
*ADDITIONAL INFO:* After several restarts - yup, this is now NOT happening very often. Mostly the window is NOT scrolling so perhaps I'm wasting your time and others with this post. Let me recheck the next few days and then post again- especially if the problem has disappeared... which it seems is the case... (I should remember to restart 2x when anything unusual before posting!)

Is this a bug? What do I do?

Hi all,
I am running an update of a table with 2 columns from 9.2.0.8 to 8.1.7.4 over database link.
First column (number) is updated, but second appears to be NULL. ?!
I've tried to do it from 8.1.7 to 9.2, but with the same result.
Then I've tried to create a table on 8.1.7 side and insert data from 9.2 into it first, but .... same: NULL values for char colums.
Is it a bug?
What else can I try?
Thanks,
Eugene

Is this a bug or what?

Hi,
Have you ever tried to pass integers from a popup to its
parent after manipulating it?
unfortunately the integer keeps its value in the parent
without applying the changes that happened inside the popup.
So...
Is this a bug or a problem with my code?

Actually I passed two variables from the parent to the popup,
one is an array, and the seconed is an integer.
When changing the array inside the popup and adding new
elements to it without referencing it by using the
parentDocument.{the array}, the manipulation was successful and the
parent kept the changes. But when doing the same with the integer,
the parent didn't accept the change and kept its value without
changing, so I had to reference the integer using the
parentDocument.{the integer} which is the opposite of what is
described in the flex mannual under the topic of "passing data from
and to the popup", and that was the reason of my wonder.
Do you have any idea of why is that?

Is this a bug?: copied movie clip has wrong frame rate and ruins the main movie's sync

Hello,
I am trying to copy a movieclip with a frame rate of 30 frames per second to a movie that has a frame rate of 30 frames per second. Both movies are actionscript 3 movies. When I do this, my copied movie clip's frame rate reverts to 12 frames per second and all my audio synched animation is trashed. Then when I change it back manually to 30 frames per second it makes my main movie's stage animation go crazy at full possible speed and the audio is all out of sync. I have not set export for sharing or action script on this movie clip. I've tried other movie clips that are 30 frames per second and it is all crazy!
Is this a bug? What can I do? I've got 100s of movie clips I need to make. I can't keep remaking them just because flash has a screw loose. I'll go crazy!

Is this a bug? create view lost a comma and succeeded

Is this a bug? create view lost a comma and succeeded.
oracle 10.2.0.1.0
try the following sql.
create table test

No it's not a bug, Oracle will treat "datab" as alias to "dataa" if comma left out.
Doesn't your view has two columns id and datab, but datab column showing dataa data?

Mail does not create new emails based on the highlighted mailbox, but rather the receiving mailbox of whatever individual email happens to be highlighted. This was not the case prior to Lion. Is this a bug or an error on my part?

Mail does not create new emails based on the highlighted mailbox, but rather according the receiving mailbox of whatever individual email happens to be highlighted. This was not the case prior to Lion. Is this a bug or an error on my part? (I do have the setting for creating new emails from the highlighted mailbox checked.)

The questions about time was not only because of thinking about the Time Machine, but also possible impact on recognizing which messages remaining on a POP server (doesn't apply to IMAP) have been already downloaded. In the Mail folder, at its root level, in Mail 3.x there is a file named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 that should prevent duplicate downloading -- some servers may not communicate the best with respect to that, and the universal index must certainly be involved in updating that index file. If it corrupts, it can inhibit proper downloading. However, setting the account up in a New User Account and having the same problem does not point that way, unless your POP3 server is very different from most.
That universal index is also typically involved when messages are meant to be moved from the Inbox to another mailbox -- in Mail 3.x the message does not move, but rather is copied, and then erased from the origin mailbox. That requires updating the Envelope Index to keep track of where the message is, and should keep track of where it is supposed to have been removed after the "Move".

Issue when creating SPFILE from pfile;Is this a bug ?

Version : 11.2
os : AIX
I created a pfile from spfile stored it in a non-default location ie. a location other than ORACLE_HOME/dbs
create pfile='/u01/oracle/mytest_pfile.ora' from spfile;I brought down the DB , and started the DB using the above pfile from non-default location
startup pfile='/u01/oracle/mytest_pfile.ora' -- pfile in a non-default locationNow i am creating an SPFILE from the pfile without explicitly mentioning the pfile file name in the non-default file location.
create spfile='/u01/oracle/mytest_spfile_sep23_2011.ora' from pfile;Using strings command (in AIX) I verified the contents of the spfile . It seems that if you don't mention the file name of pfile , then oracle reads the pfile which is in
ORACLE_HOME/dbs and NOT the pfile from the non-default location which is used to startup the instance !!! . Isn't this a bug?

No ,it's not a bug.
order of precedence of parameter file is as follow :
1.) spfileSID.ora --- non default
2.) default spfile
3.) initSID.ora --- non default pfile
4.) default pfile
In your case i.e; create spfile='/u01/oracle/mytest_spfile_sep23_2011.ora' from pfile;
here it is reading pfile from fefault pfile because it will always search the pfile or spfile in dba directory .
if you want to create the spfile from non-default pfile then create spfile as :
create spfile='/u01/oracle/mytest_spfile_sep23_2011.ora' from pfile='/u01/oracle/mytest_pfile.ora' ;

Is this a Bug or Feature?

I would not expect this to work at all, but it does:
CREATE TABLE WDD.TABLE_1
ID_1 NUMBER NOT NULL
CREATE TABLE WDD.TABLE_2
ID_2 NUMBER NOT NULL
SELECT
TAB.ID_1,
TAB.ID_2
FROM
TABLE_1 TAB,
TABLE_2 TAB
WHERE
TAB.ID_1 = TAB.ID_2
I guess that it works because the column names in each table are different. Even so, I would have thought that using the same alias name twice in the same query would have caused an error.
So, is it supposed to work this way, or is this a bug?

It's a wonderfull SQL feature (of which there are many)...

Finder crashes when I create an alias on my iDisk

This is sort of weird, and I believe it may have started with the last OS update. When I create an alias by control-clicking or right clicking on a file that is on my iDisk, Finder crashes to permanent beachball. It does this every time. It can be restarted with the force quit menu.
But this is kind of a pain, and I think it's possibly a bug in the update? I store my frequently-worked files on my iDisk and create aliases on both of my computers' desktops to access them. The only way now that I can create these aliases without crashing is to drag the file off the iDisk, make the alias on my desktop, and then drag the real file back to the iDisk.

Yes, I do know - thanks, Kirk. And I used to use that feature. But now, I have so many files on my iDisk that it takes too long to sync the whole thing, particularly on my Macbook when I'm away from home on a hotspot or slow wireless.
I don't want to take the older files off, because I need to reference them occasionally so I want to make sure they're available everywhere, even when I might not have my laptop and be on someone else's unit. It's just the two or three active files I am working at the time that I put on my desktop as aliases.
I suppose "back to my Mac" might now be an option for the older files, since I now have an Airport Express. It previously would not work on my cable modem connection, though.
In any event, I used to be able to create the aliases exactly the same way, and now it crashes Finder. So I'm kind of suspicious a bug came in on the last revision.

Is this a bug with BoEdge3.1?

Can anyone help me on the issue which my customer is facing for BoEdge3.1
Concerning Error Message: You do not have enough Named User Licenses to make this user a named user. You have 55 Named User Licenses. (FWB 00013)
This is the error message she was receiving when trying to change an
existing user from Concurrent to Named under the Connection Type on the
Properties panel.
The current workaround was to delete the existing Concurrent user, then re-add the same user as Named.
She have been going through this process of deleting existing users, and then
re-adding them as Named and it was working okay. Then, it stopped
working and she started getting the same FWB 00013 error message again.
She was not able to create any Named users now. Basically, the workaround
worked for a while - then stopped working.
She currently has a total of 88 users. 21 of them are named. 67 of them
are Concurrent. She is licensed for 55 Named.
Once again, the system thinks she has 55 users marked as Named. But
there are only 21 marked as Named.
She did notice that as she was going through all of her existing list of
users, in alphabetical order, she was opening the Properties tab and
checking the Named/Concurrent status - as she got to the 55th user in the
list that is when she started getting the error message again.
Is this a bug with BoEdge3.1?
And I got an ADAPT01194692.
I am not sure that Is the ADAPT related to this issue.
Please help me its very critical.

JDev 9.0.3, Business comp wizard, is this a bug?

Howdy,
Found something that perhaps is a bug, hoping you guys have fixed for the real release.
1) Create a database connection, but don't fill in username/password. Don't check deploy password.
2) Create new workspace and project.
3) create new business component package in the project. On step 2, point Connection name to username/password-less connection. Alert says prompt will ask for credentials. No matter what I put in, with valid username/password entries, a Connect Error pops saying invalid arguments in call. Exception: oracle.jdeveloper.cm.CMException.
Is this a bug? We're using dynamic credentials in our app with data sources, so username/password is left off.

Is this a bug of Outlook 2007 about images displaying in signature?

I've done many tests and researched on website or MS KB. But still got no solution.
My issue is:
I make a signature with images linking from website which can be easily accessed.
I setup this signature in Outlook 2007, when I compose a new mail, and choose the signature I set. It won't show the images with a high percentage rate, meanwhile, I try to get into "Signature"-"Signature...",
Outlook2007 gets stuck, then you can not close Outlook or open Internet Explorer unless you kill the process of OUTLOOK.exe.
1. Test are done under a clean XP system and Office 2007 standard fresh installed. Also there are some other staffs who help me test the signature that report the same issue on Office 2007.
2. Images are rendered in 96dpi. They are all in very small size stored on website, can be easily accessed without network connctivity problem.
3. The signature is made by simple HTML language not by Outlook signature setup wizard. but in this case, you can ignore which method I use to create the signature. The images in signature can be displayed well in Outlook 2003 &
2010. Also I have tried insert images using "link to file" in Outlook signature setup wizard, got same issue.
4. Don't suggest me to store the images locally. These images should be updated after a period. You can not ask the company staffs to update these images manually by themselves. and even if the images are stored locally, the images won't be shown
in Outlook 2007 with a high percentage rate.
5. I've tried setup signature with or without an account profile, got same issue.
6. I 've tried without an accout profile, just copy the signature file to Outlook signature folder, unplug the network cable, and "new mail" then load the signature, of course, the images won't be shown because network connection doesn't exist,
and then when I try to get into "Signature"-"Signature...", the Outlook interface also gets stuck. So I think Outlook 2007 may have some problem on detecting the network connectivity.
7. It is not possible to upgrate the version of Office. Since Office 2007 isn't out of date and is powerful enough for us, no one want to pay more money just to avoid this issue.
I don't know why I cannot upload a screenshot for troubleshooting. If needed. I can send a mail with screenshot attached.
So far to now, I still get no solution, I think this is a bug of Outlook 2007, because the same signature, there is no problem on Outlook 2003 & 2010. Hope someone of MS staff can see this article and report to technical support center.
I would appriciate anyone's kindly help but please consider that you understand what I am talking about. I don't want to waste time for each of us.
thanks in advanced.

Is this a bug? Stroke does not display for rectangles?

Working in a room full of new iMacs with CS6, I used the rectangle tool to draw shapes on screen and the shapes would not completely display. It was almsost like other shapes were covering parts of the shapes so for example only 2 of 4 lines on a rectangle would show, sometimes only 3 lines would show, etc. I tried changing the stroke from size 1 to 2 and sometimes that helped, sometimes closing the file and opening a new one helped, and other times nothing helped, even making the stroke a size 4 or 5. This problem occurred on multiple iMacs.
Is there a setting or preference that may be causing this? Is this a known problem?
Thanks.

Yeah, it's not a bug, but I do consider it a major weakness in Fireworks screen rendering behavior. Unlike AI, Fireworks is constantly in "Pixel Preview" mode, and it's locked into Nearest Neighbor zoom rendering—possibly the crudest of rendering algorithms. This might have been fine in the early days of web design, or even several years ago, but if you're using the app to design graphics for a high-resolution device (e.g. a retina display) on a standard resolution monitor, and you'd like to view the graphic at near the actual size (e.g. 60%), the results look awful.
I think this could be fixed by offering an additional View option (e.g. Improved Rendering) that would use a different rendering algorithm, such as Bicubic or even a mixture of Bicubic Smoother/Bicubic Sharper.
I created a post about this issue quite a few months back; however, I may not have submitted a feature request, because I was still using Fireworks 8 at the time and wasn't sure if CS5 had addressed the problem:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4335629
You can submit a feature request to Adobe regarding this issue using their official online reporting form:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
There is at least one workaround: If you define an object as a Symbol and then resize the instance on the canvas, it will be rendered using the algorithm specified in FW's Preferences (under General > Interpolation). I think this works anyway; it's been a while since I tried it.
