Does Captivate 3 play well with Visual Source Safe?

I am using Captivate 3 at my company. Is it safe for two of us, both with licensed versions of Captivate 3, to check files into Visual Source Safe so we can each check them out to make changes? The subject matter experts (SMEs) want to be able to make changes to content. Our output is Flash/HTML.
SAM

Hi Sam
I don't mean to sound snarky here, but if you already knew the answer, why did you bother to ask?
VSS is something known as a Source Control system. This normally means you check SOURCE files in only. In Captivate, there is a single source file. That file is the .CP file.
The other files you referenced (.SWF / .HTM / etc.) wouldn't typically be added to VSS.
However, I am aware that some folks prefer to use VSS as a repository for their developers to also use when they build output. So in some cases I do understand that folks add their output files to Source Control. If this is the case for you, certainly you would want to include the output files.
Cheers... Rick

Asus DSL-N66U does this router play well with BT Y...

Wondering if the DSL-N66U plays well with BT youview before i order one has anyone got any experiance with these ive noticed inthe firmware update notes some stuff todo with iptv. Would anyone recormend one of these for use with youview to replace a HH4 and ORModem?

Does Time Capsule play well with older Airport devices?

Hello. Today I am likely coming home with a Time Capsule and intend to rebuild my home wireless network.
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on the value/worth of attempting to connect older airport devices to the new network? I have a VERY old (1st gen?) Express, a 2nd or 3rd Express, and an Airport Extreme which, here on my lunch break away from home, I'm frankly not sure which age it is. I have been using the Extreme as the Base Station and intend to wipe it and set up the TC as the Base Station.
There are a few areas of our house that don't get good signals currently. If they STILL don't, should I try to connect any of these older devices as extenders? Or will they not play well with the TC because of their different letters (g/n/etc.?)
Thanks in advance. We'd been planning on getting a TC for a long while but found out this week that our Extreme is somehow getting in the way of our network connection... So I'm hoping that a brand new set-up will improve our speed and entire system. We have a household of many devices--one iMac and more than four iOS devices (potentially depending on who's awake) running on a 60Mbp/4 upload system. For a long time we've had internet but at 23-26 Mbp tops.
Any of your thoughts or ideas would be welcome.

Old G wireless express should be retired.. it will not work well in the current network. Although people do use them just for audio use.. the later OS have ceased to be able to set them up. G extreme is of no use.
You can use anything that is N wireless.. but you need to be sane and rational about using a router that is 3-6years old.. as it might cause as much problems as it fixes. Certainly there is nothing wrong with having a go.. as long as you are not too hopeful.
The best way to get wireless in a dark corner is to run ethernet over to that area.. and run a wireless AP there. Your N apple airport can function as AP. Even using EOP (ethernet over power) can sometimes work.
If you try to extend wireless wireless to the dark zone.. you cannot place the AP in the dark zone.. as it will get no signal to extend.. it needs to be able to pick up good signal and still have sufficient range to reach the end of your zone. That suggests if it doesn't work now.. it won't work in this new role either.. but no skin off having a try.

Correct use of LabVIEW 8 with Visual Source Safe

I have LabVIEW 8.0 and Microsoft Visual Source Safe 6 (VSS) installed and was looking for help with the correct way to integrate the two environments. This will be used in a team environment and code modules will be shared between team members. I have used and understand the new project manager with it's virtual directory structure. I have also used and understand VSS and its abilities to share and branch vis or project folders.
When you share an item in VSS, the vi is available for use in both projects and physically resides in both projects within your working directory. If I were just using VSS, this is the method I would use (and what is recommended in the VSS documentation). This way an entire project contains all the files and can be retrieved all at once.
When you use the LabVIEW 8 project manager, it appears that the intent is to only have the code in one location and share it through virtual folders. This makes sense and works fine until LabVIEW 8 and VSS are both used. LabVIEW 8 can handle check in/out and adding files to VSS. A LabVIEW project can even use vis that belong to other LabVIEW projects and other VSS projects.
My concern with all this is what happens when a team member wants to bring down code to their working directory or rebuilding my own working directory. LabVIEW's project manager does not appear to provide a direct view to the VSS database. I can go into VSS and pull down a LabVIEW project file (lvproj file only) and open it up. All appears to be fine and all VSS information is intact. What is not there is any indication of which files actually exist in my working directory or any way to perform a "bulk" retrieval of all the files required in my project. If all the files reside in a virtual directory, I don't even know where to go get them from. One solution could be to follow the VSS style and ensure everything is native to a project or at least shared with a project (within VSS). This may be cumbersome and would not follow the LabVIEW project philosophy. I may also miss something since LabVIEW "remembers" where stuff is for you. Following the LabVIEW project method could make it difficult to bring a project back to life and also has the potential to leave some vis out of source code control (sub vis don't have to belong to a LabVIEW project).
Does anyone have thoughts on this subject? What is the most efficient way to ensure that all project items are in source code control and that all projects are retrievable and functional?
Thanks,
Greg Cloutier

Greg,
I'm not a VSS guru but I do know that currently there is no automatic functionality for checking in\out a project and all associated files from LabVIEW.
As for finding the location of the vis that have been checked out, LabVIEW can display the full path of a vi from the project explorer. If you right click on a vi and then select properties, the General category will show the full path.
There are a number of papers that do relate to using SCC with LabVIEW 8. check out Using Source Control Software with LabVIEW and that will link you to other documents as well.

CR files are automatically checked out (with Visual Source Safe 2005)

Dear CR Support,
i have a strange problem. Every time i open my solution in V.S. 2008 (V.B.) all my CR files are checked out automatically.
I must do "Undo Check Out" every time.
I Use:
Visual Basic 2008
Crystal Reports 2008
Visual Source Safe 2005
For any extra information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Navarino Technology Department.

Dear Don hello,
sorry for that.
I have made some tests and i notice the followings:
I'm working in a CR file in design mode. I make the changes that i want, i click save and then "Check In" in order the changes to be saved in VSS. If i Don't "close" the CR File (the open tab of Visual Studio) the CR file stays "Open" in design mode. If i right click over the tab of the CR and click "close", the CR closes. This is what i mean "Open" and "Closed" file.
- When i open the solution with the crystal reports files open (design window open), the files are checked out automatically.
- When i open the solution with closed the reports, i have no problem. But if i try to open (in design mode) the crystal reports files, the report is checked out automatically (this is not happening to all reports).
I will try to reinstall the SP2 again.
Is there any newer Patch after the SP2, in order to install it?
Thank you for your reply.
Best regards,

RH8 with Visual Source Safe

My client is looking to pl
ace our RH8 project documentation on a visual source safe server. The documentation consists of restricted information.I've read some of the posts on RH with VSS but wonder how it's working today with RH8.

Hi Kutra
I'd like to preface that it's great RoboHelp has some ability to interface directly with source control systems.
However, having said that, I'd also like to say that I'm a pretty staunch advocate of the "KISS" approach with things. (KISS=Keep It Surprisingly Simple) What you are stating sort of underscores the reasoning for my approach.
By isolating the Source Control component and working with it separately, you typically don't encounter oddities such as the files disappearing from the FPJ. My own preferred way of working with source control is to open the source control interface, check out the project, open RoboHelp and make edits, close RoboHelp and the project, then use the source control interface to check the project back in.
Call me crazy if you like but I've never encountered an issue with working that way. And when things go wrong (as they often do) you don't have that added layer of uncertainty wondering things like "is RoboHelp possibly causing the issue here by taking actions I cannot see?".
Cheers... Rick

Does Windows Defender Play well with TB?

In response to my post about messages arriving that had blank subjects and 1969 dates, someone suggested that I exclude the folder with my profile from scanning by Windows Defender in 8.1.
I tried this and it did not work at first but now with TB 31.0 I did not get a weird message with no subject when I did <get messages> on a single message.
I am very uncomfortable about not scanning incoming mail and would like to hear what other think about this.

I wrote a long reply to this yesterday and the forum lost it. SO I will try again today.
Look at what you just identifies are sources of a virus. None of them are email other than attachments and they are not really email either.
Let me explain.
Links in email are opened in your browser, just as links from your desktop or links in a document that comes on a thumb drive is opened in a browser. So the issue with links is not "is my mail scanned?" the issue is "Is my anti virus up to protecting my browsing?" The is your call, but my personal opinion is that none of them are, but they mostly do a pretty good job. (chrome and Firefox browsers also use a Google bad locations list, so they are perhaps even safer)
Mail attachments move around the web as text. The original mail specification was for text, and subsequent enhancements that allow attachments have not changed that basic requirement. So when you add an attachment the file is converted to text (and grows about 60% in the process). When Thunderbird gets an email with an attachment it places a pane for attachments and puts a name in the pane, but the file really does not exist. it is this encoded text stream in the email body. Does it contains a virus? The only way to know is to convert this text back into a binary file.
Now your anti virus program intercepts the mail coming in (In some packages, not defender apparently), decodes the MIME attachment, scans the binary file and allows the mail to proceed (In theory) and Thunderbird stores this MIME encoded file as part of the email.
When you click on the attachment and select to open it. Thunderbird decodes the file into it's binary source. Thunderbird builds the file but can not open the file. It has no idea really what the file is or what to do with it other than write it to the temp folder and then ask the registered helper application to do something with it.
Now your anti virus program is scanning file changes, so writing this file to the temp folder will draw attention and a scan. Then the helper application (Say word) opens the file. It is only at this point that say a rogue macro in a doc file can execute, and the file has been scanned and word has warned you the file has macros, do you want them to run. Rogue macro execution is the result of stupidity or a truly blonde moment.
Even if the attachment is executable, is has been scanned upon creation in the temp folder.
Downloading from site on the web. Not as risky as we are lead to believe. Simply browsing the web is about as risky.
You download a program from the web. Your anti virus scans the data stream, it scans the file when it is written, you open the file to run it and your anti virus screams again.
Far more insidious are, DNS poisoning, Drive-by-downloads, where all you do is visit an infected site (which might be yahoo.com or Microsoft.com. Not likely, but possible) and those that find you, such a synoLocker http://www.anandtech.com/show/8337/synology-advises-users-of-synolocker-ransomware Of those three, DNS poisoning are not detected by anti virus, nor are attacks that target unprotected devices (No one has anti virus software running on their NAS) Most home users do not even know it is a fully fledged PC with an operating system.
'''Outlook is a target.'''
Thunderbird largely mitigates attacks in the boyof an enail as it simply does not allow scripts in email to run. The result is Google maps buttons do not work and many logs email by routers will not expand, but nor can malware get a foothold as soon as you open the mail. Likewise flash does not run in email (it can in RSS feeds.)
Microsoft listened to their customers. They wanted convenient, they wanted simple and they wanted pretty. Unfortunately convenient and simple basically are diametrically opposed to security Outlook in the early part of this century, along with Outlook Express lead the field in convenient, simple and pretty. Unfortunately to allow that cursor that turned into a star for the grandchildren's birthday a script is needed. That + and _ button that expanded parts of the mail needed a script as well. this other bit used an OCX file ( A full blown windows program) so the user got what they wanted. and the spammers and malware writers had a field day. Open a mail from them and you got more contagions that a plague cemetery. Microsoft have spent a decade trying to back away from the Laissez-faire of the windows 95/2000 era but are still having trouble because their customers still want what they wanted in the first place. Simple and convenient. Recall the mess that was UAC in Vista. Microsoft were crucified. Unfortunately the reality was to little to later. But windows 7 came with less. They reduced security.
So yes Outlook was an is targeted particularly one because it was the market leader, there for you get more hits than on another target. But also because Microsoft Mail client will have the least security that Microsoft thing the Industry and customer will let them get away with.
The other reason security is low is internet Service providers. They set their mail in the same way, minimum security. Security means more support calls so greater operating costs.
I once asked in a consultants forum why all business email was not encrypted (S/Mime). The answers I got basically sum up as "'the average mail user in business is to stupid to use it" , and they had no intention of holding the hands of these people when every email they send failed. Their clients would not tolerate the added support costs.

Visual Source safe XML corruption

Hello Eveyone,
I'm using visual source safe 6.0 to tie up the project.When i get the latest version,XML gets corrupted ie it has chinese characters.And when i load the screen,error occurs as "Data at root level is invalid".Has anybody experienced this problem.What is the solution,i didnt have this problem before source safe.But i definitely need to use source safe.
Thanks in advance.

How to do that,When i see the properties of XML, it gives the encoding as Unicode.In source safe there is no option to give it as unicode only text or binary.
Where in sourcesafe should i mention it as Unicode because i add the whle solution to source control not on file to file basis. Is this a known issue with Visual Source Safe.

Can I get an older release of Firefox? 36.0 does not play well with Windows 7.

Firefox 36.0.4 does not play well with Windows 7. If it opens at all, it freezes within a minute so the screen goes pale and I get the classic spinning circle of death. Then the header says (not responding).
Ideally I would like to drop back to version 32 or 33, but 34 and 35 had fewer problems.
Can I find older versions anywhere?

You can [[Install an older version of Firefox]] any time. But which will cause significant security risk. So If you can't use the latest version of Firefox, we recommend that you use the latest version of another browser.
If the latest version of Firefox is causing problems for you or you just don't like something about it, please give us feedback about it here:
[https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback/ Submit your feedback and suggestions about Firefox]
Anyway head for the ftp for older version but please be careful with these: ftp://ftp.eu.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

Does JDev3.2 work with MS Visual Source Safe?

Has anyone used MS Visual Source Safe (VSS)with JDeveloper? How's your experience?
We are trying to decide if to go with Oracle Repository or VSS. We are using JDev for sure. Repository seems so complicated, yet promises a lot of things such as supporting Oracle database objects.

Hi,
Could you post the bat file that you created?
Thanks,

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Bruce Werner ([email protected]):
You can use Visual SourceSafe inside JDeveloper, but you have to script it in a .BAT file (which is simple). You can go to the code samples page of Oracle for JDeveloper and grab a piece of code that will allow you to right mouse click on a java file and CheckIn/CheckOut a file. However, this only executes the scripts I mentioned above that you must write. I have had no problem using this and I think you will be pleased with it!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Since my IPOD Touch upgraded to IOS 8.1.2 it will not play well with my 2013 Charger's UConnect entertainment system. It will not build a library so I can not Browse or Shuffle. The only thing it does is list all the songs alphabetically when connected via USB.

- Contact the manufacturer/go to their support site.
- Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Sometimes and ISO update breaks compatibioity and a firmware update the the dock is required or an iOS update is required.

Will Visual Source Safe work for non-Microsoft software as well as documents?

We have software that was made by a subcontractor. It is used to control a machine with proprietary syntax. Will VSS archive it as well as Visual Studio things?

Hi OilMan545,
If you mean to use Visual Source Safe as a source control tool and use funtions that VSS provided, the answer is yes. You can use VSS to manage your source files. And it's recommended to use TFS since it's more powerful and in the spoort scope of MSDN forums.
If you want to do the integration for the software and VSS, that depends on the functions that the software provided and whehter it has interfaces/plugin to interact with VSS.

hi, smercurio…
i've tried your way. but it doesn't work. :-(
but your idea helps me. i've tried some times and it's OK now. thank you. :-)
here are my steps. ( is it right? )
1. start LabVIEW.
2. Tools >> Options >> Source Control. select source control provider name as my microsoft VSS. no error message.
3. Then set my source control as None. a warning dialogue popup, "You have selected not to use any source control provider". Yes to continue.
4. exit LabVIEW
5. edit LabVIEW.INI. delete the part of source control. ( like the attached picture).
6. Start LabVIEW. and reset the source control as normal.
Bingo! it's OK. :-)

Visual Source Safe keeps checking out my .cs file associated with a report

Hello there.
I am new in this community and I need some help. I am part of a team that works with Crystal Reports under .NET framework and we are using Ms Visual Source Safe. Any time we open a solution (.sln file) all .cs files associated with a Crystal report are checked out. This, of course, drives all of us crazy. If I try to delete the .cs file, it is added automatically. And we could not find any solution to this problem.
I compared the 2 .cs files (before and after check out) and the indeed differ. The namespace , to be more specific is different.
I believe the problem is that we are using a separate project that contains the report files and then those .rpt files are added as links to the main project.
So ... my question is... is there anyway I can tell Sourcesafe or Crystal report or any other program, application or person to stop checking out my .cs files or stop modifying them?
Thank you.

Hello Don.
Thank you for your answer.
It seems I have SP1 already installed. I am referencing the following files with versions in my report project:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine v12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework v12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore v12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource v12.0.2000.0
I personally believe that the problem is with the link files.
To be more exact, I have several projects (csproj) that handle all reports and report loading. I also have several applications that refer these projects (not all in the same time). Because all .rpt files are loaded at runtime, I made these files Embedded resources and I created a folder in the main projects named Reports where I added all .rpt files as links.
When I open main application A solution, all .cs files associated with the .rpt files are checked out (the namespace is modified to A).
When I open main application B solution, all .cs files associated with the .rpt files are checked out (the namespace is modified to B).
And so on.
And since we are a team of several developers working with all main applications, this is rather annoying.
I hope this presents my situation a little more clear.
Any ideas?
Thanks again
