[dropped]Searching for a fat32 formatting tool

The mkfs.vfat (mkdosfs) manpage claims it can't make a bootable fat32. True enough, win2k installer sees the partition as unformatted or damaged, and disk checking utils claim lots of bad clusters.
I'm dual-booting ms & Arch. I can use my old win98 fdisk and format tools for the fat32 partition, but isn't there something in Arch that can as well?

Hello again, had to leave town for a while. Thanks for the replies, everyone.

Can anyone shed any light on the subject?
No, but I thought fat32 would be more understood by this time.
Since this has been bothering me for quite some time, I think I'm going to look into it myself.
Sometime this fall I'm going to start creating partitions on a spare machine and analyzing the differences between them, possibly writing a tool of my own.
If I have any luck I'll come back to the forums with my findings and hopefully some code.
Might as well drop this one for now.
See ya after the summer...

Searching for a GUI testing tool

Hi all,
I would like to create automated GUI tests for my Flex Air application which uses the 4.12 Apache Flex SDK. Unfortunately the most appealing testing tool is Flex Monkey which is not supported anymore by Gorilla Logic. Is there a way to make it work with the latest Flex SDK or do you know a tool that can be used for the same purpose and is able to leverage the latest Apache Flex SDK's automation library?

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=114159.

Searching for information flow tracking tool

Dear All,
I am new in the field of data/control flow analysis, and my current project requires me to find out the set of variables that can affect the value of another variable. For instance,
public void m(int x)
     int y = 0;
     if (x == 1)
         y = 1;
}In the above code, the value of y depends on the value of x. That is, there is information flow from x to y. I am wondering if there is any existing tool to do such analysis (e.g., given variable y, return x as a result), or I have to implement such a tool myself?
Your suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Using Find() in ExtendScript to search for Italics

I believe it would be the right place to place my query.
I'm trying to search for all Italics in my Document with Extendscript.
findParams = AllocatePropVals(1);
findParams[0].propIdent.num = Constants.FS_FindCharFmt;
findParams[0].propVal.valType = Constants.FT_String, etc..
How do I specify italic in the params?
Michael
[Thread split from original by moderator]

Michael,
First about the right place to place your query: you should start a new discussion instead, as your question will then appear in the list of topics rather than Oliver John's original question.
About your query:
Your code searches for a character format from the Character Catalog. If you have a character format that makes the text show up in Italics, you can use the name of that character format (which might or might not be "Italics"). But that will not include text sections that have been manually set to Italics (i.e. without applying a character format tag).
If you want to find all text in italics in your document, you should go via the text properties instead of the character format tags. That method will include all text that is set to italics, regardless of the method (manual overrides or character format tags). Spelling out the entire code would take me too much time right now, but the outline is as follows:
Loop through all Pgf objects in your document and do the following for each of them:
Use the GetText method with the parameter FTI_CharPropsChange.
In the array of TextItem objects, check whether the FTF_ANGLE property has changed.
If the FTF_ANGLE property has changed, you use GetTextProps on the start location of the TextItem to establish whether the found text string has Italics applied.
Good luck

My search bar is messed up after update. I want the old drop down menu back. I can't search for anything now. Firefox is absolutely useless to me now.

Firefox software update appeared. I allowed it to be installed. It screwed up the search bar/box. I use to be able to click on the magnifying glass icon and ALL the search engine options would appear and I could easily chose one. It was easy. Now nothing. I cannot search anything through Firefox. Firefox is useless to me now, which means I have no computer. Do I have to go out and spend another $1000 to get a new computer? This is not right. You should not do this to a person. Not everybody is technically advanced as some of you are. Now I have no means of searching for anything using Firefox. I really liked Firefox. Now your software update messed me all up. So what am I supposed to do???????????????? IE is worthless. Not safe, not secure, can't trust it. Never works right. Can't even print out correctly. Firefox update should not have messed up my computer. I need to make searches and now I can't. I mean it, it really is not right. So, just for you so called brilliant Stanford types, when I click on the magnifying glass icon or the little, inverted triangle, there is nothing. The search bar is blank. Blank, blank, blank. No longer the quick drop down window with all the available search engine selections. Got it? That's why I've repeated myself. Have a real nice day!

See this KB article to learn how the new Search Bar works - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox
If you want the old Search Bar scheme back do this.
Open up '''about:config''' ''(typed in the Location Bar)'' and toggle this preference to '''''false'''''
'''browser.search.showOneOffButtons'''
Then restart Firefox.

[Forum FAQ] The Value drop down list is grayed out when you perform search for Group Policy Objects in GPMC

Symptom
On Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2, when you use the Search for Group Policy Objects feature in GPMC, the “Value” field is not populated when you choose “User Configuration” as the Search Item. (See Figure 1.)
<Figure 1>
Cause
The happens because the Data of the (Default) value of the following Registry Key is not correct.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions\{4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6}]
By default the Data is (value not set). (see Figure 2)
<Figure 2>
Resolution
The registry keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions] are the Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions. The CSE name of the GUID {4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6} is
RemoteApp and Desktop Connections. Please follow the steps below to resolve the issue.
1. Locate the registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions\{4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6}]
2. Take the ownership of this key: Right click on the registry key and choose Permissions option and click the Advanced button on the dialogue window. Then on the Advanced Security Settings dialogue window, click Change button to take the ownership
of the key for the current logon account and make the current logon account Full Control permission with the registry key. (See Figure 3.)
<Figure 3>
3. Change the data of (Default) value from "(value not set)" to
"RemoteApp and Desktop Connection Component". (See Figure 4)
<Figure 4>
4. Once the steps above are completed, the Value drop down list will be populated again when you perform Search in GPMC. (See Figure 5)

Can't find my iweb domain file when searching for it in iweb seo tool

I am trying to get my iweb website recognized by Google. Can't seem to get the google html code to work in html snippet. So am now trying to use the iweb seo tool but can't find my iweb domain file when searching for it in iweb seo tool. My file is in user/library/applicationsupport/iweb/name.sites2
It shows in the folder but is not active, so I can't choose it.

The SEO ftp client is not what I'd recommend using. Once you add the metadata to a local copy of the files use a 3rd party ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload the files. Much more reliable.
Google does not use keywords for it's searches although other search engines do. Create a test page on your site (leave it out of the navbar) and try adding Google Analytics to it with Wyodor's instructions. If you get it to work then all you need to do is copy and paste the HTML snippet from the test page into your site pages.
For information on visitors to your site you can also use StatCounter. It records the number of visitors and a lot more: where they are from, what browser used, which page visited and what site/page then came from for just a few. SC is easy to add to the pages as you get the code for your account, put it in an HTML snippet add the snippet to each page. Old Toad's Tutorial #13 - Adding a StatCounter as an HTML Snippet describes how to do it.
Again use a test page or a separate test site to work out the details before adding to your site pages.

Preview glitch when searching for words on page and when using text tools to write comments/notes on .pdf slides, why?

When using Preview to access my class notes as .pdf files, I have encountered extremely frustrating glitches when trying to search for specific words or phrases within the .pdf files and when trying to use 'text tools' to write notes on the .pdf slides. Preview did not behave in this manor with Mountain Lion OS. This seems to correlate with my recent upgrade to Mavericks OS.
When using the search function you should be able to type in any number of letters or words and press enter to continually cycle through the highlighted findings that match what you have typed in. Instead it now, typically, stops tracking what I type in after about 3-4 letters and the yellow highlight turns grey. Once it does this if you try to press enter to cycle through what it has found it no longer cycles. It never did this in Mountain Lion using the very same .pdf files I had previously used in the old OS, and it does this despite there being multiple matches for what I am searching.
When clicking 'show edit tool bar' button and then 'text tools' button to be able to free text notes on the .pdf file I have to exit out of the 'text tools' mode to be able to advance to the next page. This is extremely inconveneint and, again, Preview did not do this in Mountain Lion.
These are my two major complaints about Preview that I have discovered so far in my short time using it with the new Mavericks OS.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

I have this issue too and was pleased to find this thread. Did either of you find the source of the problem or how to fix it?
I've tried using Wondershare PDF Editor as well and wondered that had messed some settings up. Have either of you used that?
If so, how would I revert to a clean version of Preview?
Hope we can get this sorted.

How do I clear the "drop down menu" of past titles I have searched for?

How do I clear the drop down menu of titles that have been searched for in the past? Example; If I type in a word such as craig, then craigslist appears in the drop down menu, how do I clear this?

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
#click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
#highlight an entry in the drop-down list
#press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Edited by: Jennifer Anderson on Jul 23, 2011 7:57 AM

Hi Jenifer.....
I think it should work as it is working on my DB
Select Top 1 T0.U_LstIssDt From IGE1 T0 Where T0.ItemCode=$[IGE1.ItemCode.0]
Order By T0.U_LstIssDt DESC
Do execute this just save and Apply this on Goods Issue for. So when you select the Item this will bring the Last Issue Date of this Particular Item on which field you applied this FMS.......
Is that an UDF of Last Issue Date or standard field?
I modified above FMS and please now try.....

How can I customize the "Find" tool (Command+F), so that I can search for partial words?

In other words, let's say I'm on a webpage and I want to search for each time the word "Apple" is used. So I hit Command+F and the Find banner appears.
If I type in "apple," it works just as it should. But if I type in "pple" or any other internal part of the word, it doesn't come up.
Is there any way to customize the find tool so that I can search for the internal bits of words to find it? Other browsers like Chrome and Firefox don't have this limitation.
Thanks!

Since reconnecting bluetooth on my 3G after accidently dropping (the ap not the phone) I have successfully reconnected only to find the phone continuously searching for devices. To stop excessive draining of the battery I turn bluetooth off.

After successfully reconnecting my 3G iPhone to bluetooth (I accidently dropped bluetooth) the phone contantly searches for devices. Everything works fine now but it appears the battery is draining more rappidly because the phone is constantly searching in the background. I turn bluetooth off when I exit the but it drives me nutty. Any suggestions?

Is it possible to find out what serial or UDID info is stored on iCloud being used by the FindMyIphone site? The FMI website doesn't show anything but the name and the device image (which is a generic iPhone image, and definitely not the 5S )
Unfortunately not.
