Define Default Image Style option ignores Inline setting

I am writing my Vectorworks training manuals using Pages 09 which have a lot of images in them. I want all my images to be inline not floating.
I have followed the instructions in the Help to set my default image style.
I select an image, choose outline, shadows, and inline from the Inspector and then choose Define Default Image Style from the Format/Advanced menu.
All the settings EXCEPT the Inline are saved. And having to change from Floating to Inline each time is a real pain.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi vectorworks trainer
Floating Image is not an attribute of the default image style.
A way around this is to drag a folder of your images into the Media Browser.
Select the image you want in the media browser, copy and click into the text where you want the image and paste. You can also copy and paste from the desktop.
This demonstrates several elements of the poor UI design in OSX.
1. That the obvious (drag & drop) doesn't work as expected
2. Inserting the cursor where you want the image then going to the media browser, loses the focus in the document.
3. The focus does not stay consistent between selection and insertion points.
4. Dragging in text from the desktop behaves differently and does go into the insertion point.

btw How goes with VectorWorks? We really need a drawing program to fill in the gaps in iWork. Particularly useful would be one that can save Pages' Shapes and allow drag & drop/copy & paste Shapes into Pages documents.

Can't "Define default table style"

I am trying to define how a new table gets inserted into my document. I can set the header text formatting, table body formatting, table text etc just fine, go to format>advanced> define default table style but I cannot seem to get the table borders the way I want.
I am trying to have ONLY horizontal table borders appear on a newly inserted table. It seems you only have a choice of ALL borders or NO borders in the table body... not any variation in-between.
Anybody seen this issue or know of a workaround?

Okay, did everything you suggested: Cleared caches, rebooted, checked disks, permissions, etc. (all was fine as I am very meticulous about keeping my Mac in a pridstine state... no junk, hacks, minimal 3rd party bits etc.)
This is what I did:
1 Launch pages
2 Choose blank template
3 Type a few letters of text
4 Save file
5 Insert table
6 Click outside table, then once on table so that it has the four square "handles"
7 Pages Graphic Inspector - change stroke to none
8 Click the horizontal lines button in table inspector
9 Graphic Inspector - change Stroke to the line
10 Click outside table, then once on table so that it has the four square "handles"
11 Format>advanced> define default table
12 Table lines re-appear
13 adding a new table shows all lines, not just horizontal
I tried with different templates (Blank, CV, etc)
I created a new user and tried it there
This occurs both on a 20 inch iMac and a 12' 867 Powerbook. It's strange that other people can apparently do it and I can't.

Change default paragraph style!!

How do I change the default paragraph style? I can't stand double spaces but that's what I am stuck with
I want freeform, not body
Application is Pages 2.0.2

Welcome to the Apple forums
By default, the Pages developers chose to use 12 point after paragraph spacing which will make it appear as a double space between paragraphs. You need to create your own default template. Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.
While you're at it, you might want to set default styles for all objects, text boxes, tables, paragraph styles, etc. Start with a blank document & insert an object. Change the color, wrap, etc. to your choosing & then go to Format > Advanced > Define Default Shape Style then delete the object. Repeat with an image/photo, a text box & a table.
Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

CS6 default image import is different than CS5

The default image import option for CS5 was "Crop" now with CS6 it's "Bounding Box"
Any ideas on how to change the default so I don't have to keep using the dialogue box?
Thanks

I just figured it out.
I was actually replacing an image and not importing. And I was using the link button in the links window, not the Command D shortcut.
The reason I used the term "image import" in the title of my question is that the dialogue box used when replacing an image says "Show Import Options". This is where I found the Crop option and this is the procedure that would not "stick".
I remembered that I could use Command D also to replace an image and that since this is the Place keystroke then the window would give me the same option. I chose "Crop" in the dialogue box, successfully replaced the image, closed InDesign, opened InDesign, used the link button in the links window to replace my image and Voila! it stuck.
So, just in case somebody else asks, to make it stick you MUST use the Command D shortcut or the Place menu item. Using the link button in the links window will not make your choice stick.
Thanks for your help Peter, I can see now why you were pulling your hair out on this, you must have been assuming I was using the Place menu item.

How best to define default styles in widget libraries for public use?

I'm putting together some code to go with my blog, and it will include a custom component. I'd like the default component to use a style I define, but I'd also like the user to be able to easily override this. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do this?
I notice that the [url http://www.jidesoft.com/blog/2011/10/04/meet-our-first-javafx-component/]range slider from JideSoft has us explicitly setting the skin in code in their example. Ideally the end-user would not be doing this. So what is the best practice? Should I build a custom skin for my component and then set the style in my code? Should I define a base style sheet that somehow always gets imported, etc?
In essence, I want to have my base styles work in the same way that caspian.css does - is there a way?

Thanks Jonathan, really helpful responses.
I think my control would be a candidate for a style-2 approach if the method was moved up to Parent as you suggested. If I understood it all right then I'm glad you have been pushing for this, and I'm glad David has been persuaded :)
I've got basic skinning for my component working, but I'm stuck on the getUserAgentStylesheet() method.
My widget is basically a NavigationToolbar with back, forward, home, refresh buttons - simple sort of thing.
I have done this:
public class NavigationToolbar extends Control implements NavigationListener
    private BooleanProperty backAllowed;
    private BooleanProperty forwardAllowed;
    public NavigationToolbar()
        getStyleClass().add("navigation-toolbar");
        this.backAllowed = new SimpleBooleanProperty();
        this.forwardAllowed = new SimpleBooleanProperty();
    ... getters/setters ...
    protected String getUserAgentStylesheet()
        return "styles/nav-toolbar.css";
}Then I have created Skin in the same package, which is basically my real view (what I previously had in the NavigationToolbar class before I made the unfortunate decision to make it nice an skinnable :) ):
public class NavigationToolbarSkin implements Skin
    private NavigationToolbar navigationToolbar;
    private HBox root;
    private Button backButton;
    private Button forwardButton;
    public NavigationToolbarSkin(NavigationToolbar navigationToolbar)
        this.navigationToolbar = navigationToolba
        root = new HBox(4);
        backButton = new Button("Back");
        backButton.getStyleClass().add("back");
        backButton.disableProperty().bind(navigationToolbar.backAllowedProperty().not());
        root.getChildren().add(backButton);
        forwardButton = new Button("Forward");
        forwardButton.getStyleClass().add("forward");
        forwardButton.disableProperty().bind(navigationToolbar.forwardAllowedProperty().not());
        root.getChildren().add(forwardButton);
}My nav-toolbar.css looks like:
.navigation-toolbar {
    -fx-skin: "com.zenjava.jfxflow.navigation.NavigationToolbarSkin"
.back {
    -fx-graphic: url("../images/nav-back.png");
.forward {
    -fx-graphic: url("../images/nav-forward.png");
... other styles ...When I try and use this in code (I just 'new' a NavigationToolbar instance and then add it to the scene, am I suppose to do something more?), I get the following error:
SEVERE: javafx.scene.control.Control impl_processCSS The -fx-skin property has not been defined in CSS for NavigationToolbar@31ad98ef[styleClass=root navigation-toolbar]If I manually set the skin on the toolbar (i.e. setStyle("-fx-skin: \"com.zenjava.jfxflow.navigation.NavigationToolbarSkin\"") ) it works, although obviously I don't have any of my other styles with it. I wondered if maybe it was just a URL issue so I've tried with the css in the root directory as well, and tried various paths (with a slash at front, without, etc). No luck - if you can tell me this is the problem then I can keep mucking around with it, but I'm thinking maybe I have missed a step or misunderstood and cocked up one of the steps above?
Cheers for your help, much appreciated!

[Bug] Default control style ignored in classes

Taking time out from LVOOP before I break something I may regret to report a bit of a nuisance. What is cheesing me off today is that my default control style (system) is being brazenly ignored by LV inside VIs which are owned by a class. All controls/indicators created are modern. argh. Could be worse, it could be making everything silver.
1. set default style to system or silver or classic
2. in a vi outside of a class, drop a constant on the BD and create indicator -> should match the style set in 1
3. in a vi inside of a class drop a constant on the BD and create indicator -> modern style
Also, the scripting VIs for methods and accessors ignore the preferences for default label position. At least that one I can fix myself.

Hi Darin,
Thank you for your feedback. I tried creating indicators inside of a VI in a class and it observed my default control style in LabVIEW 2013. Which version of LabVIEW are you running?

Set default image for no image found

Hi Folks,
I have a folder full of images and when en images is called form that directory and not found I would like the default image to show up.
I have added an HTAccess file with this content:
ErrorDocument 404 default.jpg
And added a default.jpg image in the directory.
I have used this approach successfully on a few other sites but in this instance when I open a page with a missing photo I still get the standard ugly missing image icon. However, if I open that image in a new tab I get a page with the text 'default.jpg' on it.
NOt sure why that happens but I guess it's something about it being a different hosting set up. Perhaps there is another way to do this that will work on this set up.
Anyone got an idea how I can fix it?
Cheers
Dave

If I remember well, in the Report Attributes, you should select the linked column. At the link image, there are 2 edit images(the default is the big one), but there is one more image which is smaller.
Hope it helps.

HT204053 I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

When I open an email with images, Outlook Express keeps defaulting to Internet Explorer rather than FireFox to get the image, since I have IE disabled this means that I see no image. I have FF set as my default browser. Please can you help?

I first noticed the problem 3 months ago when a virus set a proxy on Internet Explorer. Removal of the proxy brought the image back, but this showed that Outlook Express uses IE to get images even when FF is set as default browser

I might be able to experiment with this a little.
Are you running a recent version of Outlook Web App (i.e., Exchange 2010)?
When you save files using IE, what format are they in (e.g., EML, RTF, HTML)?

Setting Illustrator's default image editor? HEADACHE.

Today whilst at work, using Illustrator for the first time in a while, I wanted to edit an image (using the "edit original" option) on a linked object. However, rather than taking me to Photoshop CS3, it'd automatically took me to the Windows Image Previewer.
It was very frustrating and I lost at least an hour of labor trying to overcome the problem without having to import and export from Photoshop individually.
Where the hell do I edit the default image editor through Illustrator?

well, the HEADACHE was posted so long ago. i was in search of the same solution and i can finally reveal.
Here is the solution:
to open the image in your desired editor from adobe illustrator, first u need to go to the folder of the respective image and change the "open with" format of that image to adobe photoshop cs5, if you wish to open the image directly to photoshop from illustrator.
relink the file from illustrator. Its done. you can export the image directly to photoshop. You can do the same process for other desired editor also.

Setting default paragraph style (InDesign CS4, AppleScript)

I'm trying to set the default paragraph style to [Basic Paragraph], but this produces an error.
Setting other styles does work, what's wrong with "[Basic Paragraph]"?
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
tell active document
tell text defaults
set applied paragraph style to "[Basic Paragraph]"
end tell
end tell
end tell
Thanks,
Peter

Alternatively you could use:
set applied character style of text defaults to character style 1
set applied paragraph style of text defaults to paragraph style 1

Displaying an Image that's NOT inline

Hi,
We have Oracle Portal Version: 9.0.2.3.0B
When we upload images they ALWAYS display inline EVEN if we choose "Link That Displays Item In Full Browser Window" or "Link That Displays Item In New Browser Window".
For some reason these settings are ignored.
Now i realize that i could upload it as a type:FILE which i'm sure will be the solution offered. But that's not the point as i'd prefer to use the type:IMAGE that Oracle makes available. Not only that, i need to create a new item type based on the Image type.
Am i doing something wrong here? Do i have to triple-click or quadruple-click to enable these settings? :-) Or are they just presented to tease us? Or,..is it a bug?

Chris -
Check the properties for the region the image items are shown in. On the Attribute/Style tab make sure the Displayed Attributes area does not have "image" in it anywhere. I.e. if you want the display name, ensure only "display Name Link" is there and not "Display Name and Image Link" which is the default.
Whatever attributes are listed here will show if they exist for the item type ... and let's face it - an image item definitely has an image attribute :)
Hope this helps,
Candace

How to change the default text style?

The MacOS system seems to maintain a collection of text 'styles' available in applications such as TextEdit, Bean, MacJournal, Notebook and DevonThink. This collection contains a default style, used by some (but not all) of these applications as the default text style for new documents.
At my computers this default style is characterized in the 'favorite styles' panel as 'left aligned, spacing 0.0x' and it has strange tab stops (0.99, 1.98, 2.96, 3.95, 4.94, 5.93, 6.91, 7.90, 8.89, 9.89, 10.86, 11.85 cm).
I prefer tab stops at 1.00, 2.00, 3.00 etc., and 1.2x line spacing.
I guess I have changed the default style by accident, as I cannot imagine Apple putting such strange tab stops in a default style (0.0x spacing sounds a bit strange too). If so, it must somehow be possible to change the default style.
I have tried to change the default style via TextEdit (which does not use the default style as default, but spacing 1.0x and tab stop at each centimeter) and several other applications (Bean, MacJournal, Notebook) in the following way: select a piece of text with the intended format, open the document styles panel, click 'Add to Favorites', enter 'Default' as the name for the style and click 'Replace'. Unfortunately, that doesn't work. Although I do not get an error message, the Default style hasn't changed. I can save my preferred style as, for example, 'Preferred' but that does not prevent MacJournal and other applications from using Default for every new document.
Any idea how to change this default style, or, if that is not possible, reset it to its original state?

I suggest you have a look at [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/stationery/?src=api Stationery].
It won't help you in defining styles, as such, but will give you templates wherein you can set up styles.
