Creating favourites in Gnome's Activities menu?

Hello there,
I have some documents, pictures and files which I need quite frequently. In order to access them faster I am looking for a way to have them somehow pinned to the Activities overview in Gnome. This could be in some form of a menu or permanent visible icons.
Do you know of any way which would fulfil my need?
Thanks!

Thanks, I just tried that. Yet it does not work very reliable. Sometimes searching for the file name in the Activities overview finds the files, sometimes not.
Unia wrote:EDIT: As far as I know, you can not pin files to the Activities overview. Another (dirty/hackish) solution is to create .desktop files for each file you want to "favorite".
I will propose that as a feature request in the Gnome bugtracker.

Is there a way to create favourites in a chm file that was converted from a WebHelp file?

I am using RH 11. We generally output our help projects to WebHelp, but we still have a few .chm outputs.
Marketing has provided us with a new branding for our Help projects. We implemented the new skin for the WebHelp and then applied this skin to the chm outputs.
This works really well. The only issue is that in the new chm output, we no longer have access to the Favourites functionality.
Does anyone know how to add this functionality or a workaround to create favourites in this new chm output?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mack

You would need to add favorites to the WebHelp output prior to creating a CHM. You would need something along the lines of: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/product/favorites-widget-webhelp
But since it's in a CHM, I'm not sure whether you will be able to save anything from the webhelp output between sessions.
Kind regards,
Willam

How do i create a styled spry mysql driven menu using dreamweaver cs4?

How do i create a styled spry mysql driven menu using dreamweaver cs4?
I have cs4. I gave up on using MS sql as a datasource. I finally got a php successfull connection in my PHP web page.
I would like a nice video tutorial for creating a dynamic menu.
I guess i can style it by attaching a css file to the page. Are their any already designed css files out there in some online area?
i am not a good designer. so i would like to simply have a collection of menu_style.css files and choose what looks good.
But first i need to build the spry menu from the mysql database.
Any help is apprechiated.
My first choice was to maintain the data in an MS sql server file. If i could directly attach to an ms sql datasource then that would be the best option.
I dont think i want to have to re-generate an XML datasource each time i add or modify the menu. I would like to maintain the MS Sql or mySql file instead.
If i could generate an XML datasource from the MS Sql database then I may even prefere that, but i have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do that and not had any success. So i prefere working in MS sql but would settle for mySql if i had to.
Thanks
Jerry

To create a dynamic menu take a look here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/MenuFromNestedData.html#

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

How to create second or third level of menu bar in se41 ?

Hi All
How to create second or third level of menu bar in se41 ?
I created it once but forgotten , do anybody remember ?

Hi..,
Once you have created a menu bar, you enter the individual menu entries. Each menu can contain up to 15 entries.
A menu can contain any of the following:
Function names (with function code and text)
Submenus (pull-down menus)
Separators
You may include submenus up to three levels deep.
Menu functions that logically belong together are grouped together using separators. This makes the menu easier to use. Separators also make long menus easier to read by dividing them into smaller parts.
Defining Menu Functions
To add functions to a menu that is already open in the Menu Painter:
Open a menu list in the menu bar by double-clicking the menu title.
The system opens the menu. The menu entries list contains the two columns Code and Text.
In the Code column, enter a function code (this may be up to 20 characters long).
If you want to enter a function code that is longer than the input field, you must first change the displayed length of the field in the user settings. (Choose Utilities ® Settings ® User-specific.)
Enter the function text in the Text column.
The name you enter here appears in the menu at runtime. You can also determine the contents of function texts at runtime (see Defining Dynamic Function Texts).
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each item in the menu.
Creating Cascading Menus
To add a cascading menu (sub-menu) to a menu:
Leave the Code column blank.
Enter a menu name in the Text column.
Double-click the cascading menu to open it.
The system opens the menu entry list for the cascading menu.
Complete the menu as you would any other.
Inserting Separators
Place the cursor on a line.
Choose Edit ® Insert ® Separator.
If you want to insert a separator between two existing menu entries, place the cursor on the line before which you want to insert the separator.
Editing Menu Entries
You can cut, copy, paste, and delete menu entries.
Place the cursor on a line.
Choose Edit ® Entry ® Cut (or Copy, or Paste, or Delete).
If you double-click a function code, the Function Attributes dialog box appears. Here you can, for example, change the icon assigned to a function.

How to create a sort of drop down menu at mouse location please?

Hello,
I would like to create a sort of drop down menu. When the user right clicks, I would like to create something similar as if you right click in your browser, or right click in this forum text box area (you get "undo", "copy", "paste".. that appears right next to the mouse).
What Swing class would you use for that please?
Thank you very much.

Use a JPopupMenu
You will need to add a MouseListener that shows it to the component you want to display it on.

Is it possible to create a Report Object in a menu?

Hi all,
I 'm working on an oracle report wherein the user will not give any parameter.
They would like to view the report by clicking on the menu option for this report and it should then open the report in an new browser window
in pdf format.
My question:
Is it possible to create a report object in the menu?how can we do this?
I'm working on Oracle reports version Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2
TIA

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Through form I'm able to create report object and report is displayed successfully.
I'm using the following code:
DECLARE
          report_id Report_Object;
          ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100);
          rep_status VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
          report_id:= find_report_object('Report1');
          SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,'vouno='||:vouno||' paramform=no');
          ReportServerJob:=run_report_object(report_id);
          rep_status:=REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(ReportServerJob);
          WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
          LOOP
                    rep_status := report_object_status(ReportServerJob);
          END LOOP;
          IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
          WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://sushma:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
          substr(ReportServerJob,instr(ReportServerJob,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=rep_sushma','_blank');
          ELSE
                    message('Error when running report');
          END IF;
END;
I'm not able to use the same code in Menu, as there is no way to create report object "Report1"
Or is there any was to create object.
So in place of report_id:= find_report_object('Report1');
I used report_id:= find_report_object('c:\.... *.RDF');

Gnome 3 - "Activities" search is dreadfully slow

Is there any way to increase the speed of the search in the gnome 3 activities window? After typing in the name of a program or file there is quite a large delay.
Is there any way to possibly cache the computer upon startup to speed this up?

I've been testing here >> compaq 610 with a celeron and intel graphics. It's not too quick here either, but only with the first search! Takes 'bout 4-5 seconds to open the icon for the app selected. After that is goes much quicker > I can select any app then and it'll pop up in 2 seconds...opening progs themselves is no problem.
I guess it would depend on hardware. My hardware isn't the fastest. The intel graphics should be fine here...
I would advise you to read on the nvidia wiki and search for threads about nvidia/nouveau/gnome3..There are several.

Creating looping DVD: no theme, no menu?

I want to burn a DVD without a theme in iMovie 08. According to iMovie08 help, I can do this by selecting "Loop" from the Advanced drop down menu, and the DVD will start automatically and keep playing until it stops Fine. That's what I want for one particular purpose.
Except that when I drag the video I want to burn into the Drop Zone, the Revolution theme (with horrid accompanying music) is in the Drop Zone too and I can't get rid of it.
In fact, when I select the video then Burn, it burns the Revolution theme thingy and ONLY that. If that's a menu, I don't want a menu either.
I want the DVD to start automatically and keep looping: NO THEME, NO MENU. (Sorry for shouting but it makes me nuts.) Was this fixed by iMovie 11? If not, IS it going to be fixed?
Can Apple give those of us who can't afford Final Cut Pro a "No theme" option, please? In fact, make No Theme a Theme!
And if i have to see that Revolution and hear that music one more time, I'm buying third-party DVD authoring software.

Hi
from. Mishmunken
How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

Creating a "more" button on the menu bar when the menus are more

Hi,
I wanted to create a functionality similar to that we can see in eclipse editor. when we open files more than a number, only some of the pages are visible on the editor. we can access the rest from the button which shows the names of files. I am doing a web app which contains many menus. sometimes it may be more than a page can contain.in such cases the page shows a scroll bar. i need to avoid the scroll bar and keep a button towards the right end of the tool bar; when the user clicks on the button, the rest of the menus should be shown there.is there anyways to implement this?
i have another problem: how can i hilight the currently selected menu? can i do it using java code and a css class?
Thanks,
Geet

Well, count the items and display the button/menu when there are more than which fits on screen.

How to restrict usage of "Create Support Message" action in Help menu

Dear Experts,
hoping someone can help me to find a solution to this:
in our company we are building a business process so that not everyone should be able to open a new support message under maintenance cycle, but only "Power Users" - we call them BPE for Business Process Experts.
All the rest business comunity should filter their inquiries thru BPE's, and if BPE decides that Support Message is required, then (s)he will use the Create Support Message function under Help main menu.
Is there any way in SAP to restrict usage of "Create Support Message" function to only a group of people (BPE) by security or other means, so that it's invisible (or not executable) by other people ?
Thank you in advance
Elena

Hi,
You can restrict the creation of support message thru the Auth Obj CRM_ORD_PR.
Thnx,
Waseem.

How can I create a shortcut to a tools menu option?

I use the clone stamp and the brush tool regularly. Each of these tools provides a Mode: dropdown list to select from in their menu bar.
The drop down options I use most frequently are Lighten and Darken. I would like to create short cuts to Lighten and Darken, such as Ctrl+Shift+L (Lighten) and Ctrl+Shift+D (Darken).
The tools panel menu bar does not appear to have a selection list in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box.
How do I create these shortcuts.
Thank you in advance,
Jim

They are already there. The same shortcuts that affect layer blend modes when other tools are selected, do exactly the same thing when the Brush; Clone, Healing Brush, Blur, Sharpen and Smudge tools are selected. (I forgot the gradient tool)
So with the Move tool or a Marquee selected
Shift Alt + scrolls down through the selected blend modes
Shift Alt - scrolls up through the selected blend modes
Your can go directly to specific Blend modes with first letters
Shift Alt n = Normal
Shift Alt m = Multiply
Shift Alt s = Screen
Now select the brush, or one of the tools that have blend modes, and the same keys will do the same job for that tool's blend mode.
