Disable drawing overwrite

I often draw things that have close details. But if I draw two things too close to each other, they either connect or the first one is overwritten! I really, REALLY do not want this to happen. I'm sure it's useful in some situations, but it just really slows me down.
How do I disable this?

It happens with the pencil tool and the brush tool. I want to disable it to both of them.

Disable document overwrite

Hello, when we edit a document using the web interface we have two possibilities for check-in: Overwrite and Create New version. Is it possible to disable the Overwrite option and if yes how, so that the users cannot overwrite the original document?
Thank you,
Adalbert

Hi Zhenbo, thanks for the reply. Yes, it is the cFolders 4, webdynpro. I tried the parameter you mentioned but it seems that doesn't have any effect, probably is an authorization problem. However we were able to solve the problem by setting the folder status to "Protected Version". We defined this new status in the Status Management. This is what I found in the help (I hope it will be helpfull in the future if somebody has a similar question):
You can protect objects and object versions for a particular status by setting the Protected or Protected Version indicator on the Create Status screen in a status profile.
If you set the Protected Version indicator, you can edit an object with this status. However, when you save any changes that you make, the system creates a new version of the object. The original version cannot be changed. If the object is a document, the system creates a new version when you save your changes or when you check in the document.

Disable konqueror overwrite confirmation

Hello,
Does anybody know of a way to disable overwrite confirmation in konqueror, when using drag and drop (as a file manager / ftp client). In particular, it would be great to be able to skip confirmation when the action (copy or paste) is selected explicitly via SHIFT or CTRL.
Thanks!

Disable draw document wizard on AR Delivery screen?

Hello,
Customer opens an delivery and copies data from an existing salesorder. Then you get the option of an draw document wizard.
Is it possible to directly copy the data from the salesorder without the draw document wizard screen popups???
adding Transaction notification or something???
Thanks
Mark

Hello Everyone
I would like to mention one thing related to the post.
When Draw Document Wizard is used, if " customize" is chosen during wizard, on the second screen, it is possible for a user to modify both discounts and unit prices, even though "Change row amount" authorization for the user is set to "NO".
It contradicts the segregation of duties principles, since AR Invoice issuing and Prices modification shoud be segregated
normally.
Is there any information about the issue in the forums?
Thank you

Disable "Overwrite Existing Files"

Hi, I am trying to disable the "Overwrite Existing Files" checkbox which comes in the pop up when I try to upload a file in sharepoint site. Can someone please tell me how can I disable this (the whole thing should go if possible). Many users
will use this and I do not want those users to overwrite the files they uploaded. Many Thanks

Hi,
From your description, I understand you want to disable the "Overwrite Existing Files" option by default.
Please try the steps below:
1.Locate Upload.aspx file via path “..\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS” on your SharePoint server.
2.Backup the Upload.aspx file.
3.Locate the following line:
<asp:CheckBox id="OverwriteSingle" Checked="true" Text="<%$Resources:wss,upload_document_overwrite_file%>" runat="server" CssClass="ms-upload-overwrite-cb" />
4.Then change “true” to “false”, and add code(Disabled = “true”) as below:
<asp:CheckBox id="OverwriteSingle" Checked="false" Disabled="true" Text="<%$Resources:wss,upload_document_overwrite_file%>" runat="server" CssClass="ms-upload-overwrite-cb" />
5.Save the file and refresh your site collection to see whether it is working.
You could also choose to remove the option, please refer to the thread below:

Printing a pdf from Safari 4

Hi
If I print pdf files from within Safari 4, the text does not print at all, only lines, tables and boxes.
If i save the same pdf file to the hard drive and open it with Adobe Reader, it prints perfectly. Is there anything obvious that I am doing wrong?
I am using SL, and a Lexmark c522 if it helps.
Thanks
Dave

Hi...
I couldn't see anything wrong with my Arial font, so I looked back on Time Machine and my "Arial Narrow" had been moved to a Fonts Disabled drawer in Home/Library....
I have now reinstalled Arial narrow and sure enough, Safari looks right, but now Font Book won't validate the Arial Narrow font, saying some problems may occur and to proceed with caution.
In addition, I was a little pre-emptive with my initial hope that .pdf files were prinitng correctly from Safari.. they're not still
Is there a nuclear option to re-install all fonts from scratch?
Thanks again

MaskFormatter issues

Hi Experts,
Can any of you tell me if it is possible to disable the overwrite mode for the MaskFormatter. I am using one common MaskFormatter for most of my textfields (including dates,SSN,normal address,names etc)..
I find it not legitimate to overwrite the text. I tried the setOverWriteMode(false) method ..But it does not seem to work atall..
Looks like a bug in Java 1.5 ..is there any workaround so tht the test in MaskFormatter can be overwritten..
One more question:
Is there a way by which we can use the JFormattedTextField to allow only alphabets (By not using the MaskFormatter) ..I mean any other formatters which can be used to check for only alphabets??
Your reply would be very helpful..

Hi ,
Thanks for ur reply ..I am having issues with my other id .. So i am replying back in a different id..
This is the simple code i have ..
JFormattedTextField testcaret = new JFormattedTextField();
    try {
    MaskFormatter nrbFormatter = new MaskFormatter();
    nrbFormatter.setMask("***-***-***");
    nrbFormatter.setOverwriteMode(false);
    testcaret.setFormatterFactory(new DefaultFormatterFactory(nrbFormatter));
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}I want the MaskFormatter to behave in such a way that it would insert characters properly... Currently it is overwriting the existing character when i try to insert a character inbetween the text..(setOverwriteMode(true) does that) ...When I try to make the setOverWriteMode(false) the entire text is not taken atall..
Thanks

What to do when suddenly no sound from usb headset

I haven't use my linux in the past 3 days and when today I logged in I noticed I don't hear anything. I checked some other apps, but no good.
It works when I unplug my usb headset - I mean the built-in speakers do.
In pavucontrol I saw the lines moving so there is sound, I just can't hear it. I tried changing the device for output and the application currently in use, but nothing.
The only suspicious thing is that I have a 3rd device called "LADSPA Plugin Multiband EQ on Internal Audio Analog Stereo". I guess it's related to the pulseaudio-equalizer I installed about a week ago, but after doing that I had sound, I watched some movies and I had no problem at all.
Having no better idea, I removed pulseaudio-equalizer, restarted my notebook, but I still have that device.
I wanted to check the volume levels in alsamixer, but I don't have that, because it usually scr*ws up the volume levels, I only have installed what's said in the pulse wiki, but it's unrelated now, I guess.
My linux is fully up do date and I don't see anything unusual in my rc.conf.
What should I do? Where to look for the solution?

This problem is bizarre.
Basically - I have an audio interface connected via USB, then one day i get the message 'usb device disabled drawing to much power....'
So i tried a few different cables, and 1 cable worked fine.
Now all of a sudden, the problem is back - the cable that was working fine is now not working fine.
I've tried 8 USB leads, reset the SMC, reset PRAM, etc etc......
All the 8 USB leads i have work fine with other stuff, but as soon as i plug this audio interface in, it doesnt see it. The interface is fine because i've tried it in another computer.
I've lost a lot of faith in apple products over the last year or 2. It seems like theres always some sort of bug/problem. This will be the end of the line for me now. I just can't trust the quality or reliability of their products anymore.

I am trying to upload photos from my digital camera. Every time I try to plug it into my USB, the following error message comes up: "Because a usb device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled."

I don't have anything else plugged into my MBP, so I am confused as to what's going on. This problem has never happened before. MBP is less than a year old - about 9 months old. HELP

"Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled." HELP!

When I plug in my son's iPad I get this message "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled." I only have one charger for this iPad all my other chargers are for iPhone 4s. I have pluggerd it in different outlets around the house and the iPad will not charge. When I plugged it on my lap top to back it up it gave me the warning message. HELP!!

I have the same problem on my Air. The message first came up while my iPhone was connected to it for some time. Since then, it pops up ALL THE TIME, whithout anything being connected to the USB port, at what appear to be random intervals that vary between about one hour and a few seconds. I have tried resetting the SMC and the PRAM, but no results. A quick search revealed that thousands of users are facing this problem, but Apple has yet to provide a solution. Please help!

"Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.

Here is the total error message:
"Because a USB devce was drawing too much power from your computer, one
or more of your USB devices have been disabled.
To prevent damaging your computer, the USB device drawing too much
power has been disabled. Other devices may have also been disabled.
When you disconnect the device drawing too much power, your other USB
devices will be enabled again."
Now in contrast to every other thread on this i get this error message eveytime i connect my soundcard (interface). Not when i start up the mac or anything, just when i connect the sound card. (the soundcard does not have its own power source but note that this has never happened before and i have had this soundcard for about a year!)
It deactivates so i cannot use it.
I have tried:
Connecting the soundcard to my mothers mac -> it worked!
Connecting an external harddrive to my mac -> it worked!
so basically, i can't be the soundcard or the cable and it cannot be the mac USB port?
I don't know what to do! i really need this to work! anyone got an idea??

If you just bought the iMac and the Sjuperdrive take the superdrive back and get a refund. The by any other brand external DVD drive that connects by USB and try that. Most come with a Y USB cable to allow you to connect to 2 USB ports to supply enogh power to the drive IF Needed.
Or take both back and get a refund on both, you have 14 days to return it no questions asked, and buy another iMac and some other brand external DVD drive.

I keep getting this message : Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.
