Custom icon reverts to standard Pages document icon...

I'm having trouble with permanently assigning custom icons to Pages '08 documents.
Say I've got a document, I'll create an icon, set the icon via the info panel, everything is fine. The next time I click on the document with the new icon, the document opens and the custom icon disappears, reverting to the stock Pages icon.
This doesn't seem to be a problem with any other documents or folders from other programs, just Pages '08.
But I'm thinking this is more likely an OS issue than a Pages issue.
Thanks

For some reason, the custom icon is deleted. (Bet that comes as a shock.) I have an old version but it is apparently no different. Essentially a Pages document is a folder that Finder treats like a single file:
ls -a test.pages/
./ .typeAttributes.dict index.xml.gz
../ Contents/ thumbs/
When you add a custom icon, a file is added to the folder:
./ .typeAttributes.dict Icon? thumbs/
../ Contents/ index.xml.gz
When Pages backs up the document it includes the custom icon in the document:
ls -a Backup\ of\ test.pages/
./ .typeAttributes.dict Icon? thumbs/
../ Contents/ index.xml.gz
But it disappears from the original:
ls -a test.pages/
./ .typeAttributes.dict index.xml.gz
../ Contents/ thumbs/
(So next time, it disappears from the backup, too.)
It almost looks as though Pages renames the original document to create the backup and then creates a new "original" but this isn't correct because the filenode numbers stay the same on the original. So I don't know what causes it but it seems to be something peculiar to Pages so I'm not sure how it could be avoided except by not using Pages or not giving Pages documents custom icons.

ICloud reverted save of Pages document to earlier date.

I have been working on a paper for the last couple months now using Pages. Most of it was done on the iPad app, but I would work on it some on my work computer using icloud.com, which is what I did today. Once I got home, I went to continue it on my iPad again, but when the file finished updating, it said the last time I worked on it had been February 14 - almost a month ago. I opened it up And - sure enough - it was the file as it was on February 14; everything I had typed since then (at least five pages worth -single spaced) was gone. Now, before I give up in despair is there anything I can do to get my most recent file - the one I had worked on today at icloud.com - back?

Could it be that the save wondow is colapsed? Click on the triangle to the right of the name field? to expand the window. You can also click on the Where: button to get some more options. If this is the case it isn't a network problem.

Issue : Adding additional fields to a standard page

Hi OAF experts,
My requirement is I have to add 2 custom fileds to a Standard Page,the 2 fields are not available in any standard table,
So i have created one Custom table for the addtional fields,

I have extended my VO adding the custom EO,
after all things like substuting ,importing,compiling .java files,bouncing server iam getting an error like 'unable to access the draft quote'.
At the time of Extending VO my additional fileds coming from custom EO are becoming as Transient,

MY pages documents on my ipad wont sync to icloud. Some of the documents have had the upload icon on them for over a month. It was all working fine a month or so ago but I cant figure out why it wont work now.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

I am trying to open a pages document however it tells me I need the new version to do so. I have installed the new version however it keeps saying I need the new version. I have noticed that I still have the old blue ink pot icon not the new orange pen.

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

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.

Adding a file as an attacment ("icon") to a PAGES document

Hi,
Can someone advise how I can attach a RTF file etc as an attachment to a pages document so that whilst viewing the Pages file, it would appear as an icon?
This is similar to adding an object from a file as an icon in MS Word.
Tushar

The reason for this is that I am currently trying to create a library of eye catching headlines, emails and weblinks in one spot.
The document at present has:
1. Some good "article headlines"
2. Some sample well written articles
3. Some good weblinks
The thing I am struggling with is having emails imbed as icons. I have tried "Choose" but that insert the whole email into the document. Another potential (but not ideal) option would be to put a hyperlink in the file to where the file is stored on my hard drive.
Ideally, this document could then be shared with other people.
Hope this helps.

Pages document will not upload to iCloud? Arrow is shown in upper left of document icon.

I have page documents showing an arrow in the upper left coner of the document icon, but they never have uploaded to iCloud. What am I missing?

If you are able to move the document to your desktop on your Mac, you should do so. Then delete all references to that document in the iCloud on your mobile devices, at iCloud.com and if necessary from system preferences> iCloud> manage.
Once you are sure it has been removed from all locations, try adding it back using a slightly different filename, from your desktop.

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.

Customer Standard page is behaving differently in two different instances Y

HI Guru's,
I am querying the data in one Customer standard page in support6 instance for eg: 27868 is a Acccount Number we are searching for this and we are getting the Data in this instance here the thing is the Account is Inactive and we can view even Inactive customers in this.
Now we are seraching for the Customer Number(Acct. Number) same : 27868 in Support 3 instance now here the magic thing i found is i am unable to get the Data in this intance here this one also in backend it is Inactive Customer and this is also a Standard page there is no customization for this.
Why these two instances are behaving like this if i search for a Same Account Number in Customer search page its a oracle standard page there is no customization.
Support 6 -- Is Multi node having 2 nodes
Support 3 -- Is Multi node having 3 nodes .
Previously we have perform one customization we have changed the query in both the instances same query then also it is behaving like previous one, So we plan to remove the complete customization to both of the instances and tried so we are facing this Issue.
Note : Support 6 having some Oracle Patches is different from Support 3 Patches means some patches is not applied in Support 3 instances.
So, is there any issue of those patches and these are not OAF Patches its some Apps Patches.
Please it's a High Priority issue for me so OAF Guru's update me your valuable answers to me so that i can check out why it is behaving like this.

Hi
I have removed my personalizations and customizations in all nodes like this,
begin
jdr_utils.deletedocument('/oracle/apps/ar/hz/components/search/server/customizations/site/0/HzPuiDQMSrchResultsVO');
end;
Commit ;
begin
jdr_utils.deletedocument('/oracle/apps/ar/hz/components/search/webui/customizations/site/0/HzPuiDQMSearchResults');
end;
Commit ;
Next i have run jdr_utils.printdocument also in all the instances so i got these output
Error: Could not find document /oracle/apps/ar/hz/components/search/server/customizations/site/0/HzPuiDQMSrchResultsVO
Error: Could not find document /oracle/apps/ar/hz/components/search/webui/customizations/site/0/HzPuiDQMSearchResults
in all the instances same , so now its a standard functionality right because i have reverted back my customizations.
i have these two scripts because 1. this is for Vo substitution removed and 2. this is for two new attributes that i added before that was removed.
Even i have checked the "About this page" link and then we tried to see the query and we got the standrad query only.
Yes DBA bounced all the 3 nodes for Support 3 and in Support 6 also he bounced 2 nodes.
The Database has only 1 common node and 1 $java_Top which is shared for all the 3 nodes for support 3 instance and for Support 6 instance that is diffrent $Java_Top .

Custom icon lost from dock when clicked.

Hello.
I'm currently running OS 10.6.1 on 15" MBP w/ 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM. I experienced this same issue in Leopard, but was hoping Snow Leopard would fix it. I thought it did, but it just happened again.
I keep several documents in the dock that I use very frequently (three MS Excel workbooks, 1 FM Pro database). For some reason, when I click on any of the Excel docs, the custom icon I have assigned to it is lost. Even when I reveal in Finder, the icon has just been removed, and the standard Excel icon shows.
The funny thing is that the custom icons, when replaced, seem to last for several clicks, then for some reason, they just go away when the doc is clicked.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any help would be awesome.

Hi eye sean,
The program icons on your Dock (App Store, System Preferences) are alias links (shortcuts) and not the programs themselves. You can't delete them by removing them from the Dock. Now, if somehow they were accidentally removed from the /Applications folder then that's a bigger issue. I take it neither of the programs or in that folder?
If that's the case there's two things I'm aware of worth trying:
Run a repair Disk Permissions from the installation disc that came with your computer
Reinstall the Operating System via the installation disc
If System Preferences (the application) is completely gone, then it's option #2. If it's corrupted the disk permissions may resolved it. I'd say you could make a new user to see if a preference pane that's specific to your current user is causing problems, but without System Preferences access that's not really a valid option.

Show Custom Icon in a Dock Stack, Grid View?

Hi, I have a folder with lots of pdfs placed in my dock as a stack. Is there any way to tell the Dock to show my custom icons, when present, or the default preview snapshot as it does now?
When I click on my folder in the dock, I have it set to show as a grid. When the contents are shown, the finder generated document preview icons are shown. For some documents, I have created custom icons for quick visual identification. When I view the document in a finder folder window, the custom icon shows, as expected, but not when I view the folder contents in a dock stack.
Thanks

I have placed a network drive in the dock to act as a stack so that I quick click of that icon will mount the drive, and then the icon acts as a stack. This network drive has a custom icon. When I have the stack set to "display as stack", I get the stack icon in the dock. When I then change to "Display as folder", the custom icon appears in the dock in place of the stack icon UNTIL I click on the icon to display its contents. When I click again, the icon reverts to the generic network drive icon. I'd like the custom icon to remain in the dock. Any thoughts?

How to assign file extension and custom icon to executable?

Hi all,
I was reading an old thread about this issue:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=116925
I need to try to do this. My application uses a custom file extension (i.e. .abc). Upon installation I would like to:
1. Assign My App and custom icon to the file class (extension .abc).
This could be done by manipluting the registry (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776856(VS.85).aspx)? This could be a problem with Vista s unless registry operations occur during installation any changes are placed in a VirtualStore, correct?
2. Enable the double-clicking of .abc file type to pass the data in the file to my VI (exe).
According to the File Handling Guidelines of Jean-Pierre Drolet (http://www.openg.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=File+Handling+Guidelines) the best way to do this may be using LabVIEW as an ActiveX server.
I know that when I build an executable (or installer?) there is the option to enable LabVIEW to act as an ActiveX server. This much I know I need to do.
I thought I would open this discussion again as others may be interested and there doesn't appear to be a completely clear solution available. Please do contribute where you can.
Cheers,
Battler.

This needs to work (the files need to open) not only when the application is closed but also when it's already open.
Anyone have ideas?
The solution to that is to implement a DDE server in your application (and add DDE entries to the registry on installation). There are still DDE functions in LabVIEW vi.lib\Platform\dde.llb but they are considered depreciated and have been removed from the palette, also because Microsoft is trying to tell everyone that DDE is depreciated and sort of unsupported too. But it is still the mechanisme to pass actions from the shell to running applications.
I hesitate to send you over to lavag.org where there have been some discussions about this years ago. If you go there you would do good to employ a friendly attitude. That board is run all by enthusiasts and idealists and they are all great folks but react not very friendly to people with an attitude.

Custom Icon Images for Folders in KM

Hello Everyody,
I have to display folders such as Pesonal Documents, Public documents, Recently used, Favourites etc which are there in the entry point repository in KM. Right now all these folders are being displayed with the default icon image specified. I want to replace these default images with custom images but couldnt see any property where i can change the image path for these folders. I checked the details of all these folders and even went through the properties but there it shows only the default image name speciefied for that folder and no active settings where i can change the image path for custom icon. Kindly suggest how to implement custom image for KM folder icons.
Thanking you all in advance,
Regards,
Sarabjeet.

Hi,
If I understood, you have a KM navigation iview, where some folders apperar. You want to change the icon for each of them differently.
For this do the following:
First have a look into the KM.navigation iview and get the layout set property. Go to System config->KM->Content management->User interface->Settings->LayoutSet and find the layout set you are using. Go to appropriate resource renderer and check the "Icon setting". Change it to: iconreplace.
Now get the KM details for your folders and change the IconSource property to your image Example:
/etc/public/mimes/images/add.gif
Voila...the icons for these folders are changed!
Hope this is your case.

Custom icon on a disk shared via Airport Extreme

I have a USB hard drive that I am sharing via an airport extreme. In the finder, under "Shared" I see my airport extreme. When I click on that, I see my external drive. I would like to change the icon for that, but the standard Get Info -> paste doesn't seem to work.
I've tried to set a custom icon on a test folder on my hard drive and it works. I also tried it on a test folder on the USB drive shared via airport extreme, and that worked. But I can't set the icon for the drive itself. Any suggestions?

No, they pulled it, even though Steve promised the wireless backup feature in his latest keynote. One hour into it to be exact.
http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/d7625zs/event/
Now, I am very much against releasing a product before its ready, so I respect them for that. However Steve VERY clearly states that it was already working and would release with Leopard. He usually makes a very very clear distinction between things they "can/might" do and things that are working. He even goes into detail about how all the house macs can wirelessly use the same backup through the Airport Express. THEY EVEN HAVE A PICTURE of it!
So they need more time, okay. But I feel lied to. The least they could do is make a press release with an ETA! The hush hush, makes it seem like they are going to scrap it and pretend it never happened.
