File associations change when new packages are installed (GNOME)

Hello!
Imagine I set Geany to open text files. It works, I just double click the files and they open with Geany. When I install Wine/Gedit/whatever... it overwrites my file association with Geany, opening it by default with notepad.exe/gedit/whatever.
Can someone help me?
Thanks, acmps

I don't know why this happens sometimes after installing or messing around with wine, but I can also confirm multiple, false entries in that associations-list.
But I know how to get rid of it after it happened (concerning these entries in my gnome-open-dialogue):
Delete the files which fit in ~/.local/share/applications/* or have a look at mimeapps.list which is also located there

Date ordered changing when certain parameters are updated.

Hello All,
I came across an Issue where DATE ORDERED is changing when certain parameters are updated, such as agreement. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Veronica.

Hello Veronica,
Negotiation Phase is only for Quotes - it does not apply to Sales orders. You need to create a Defaulting Condition template similar to that called 'In Fulfilment Phase' for Sales orders.
Here are the details:
(1) Navigate to Setup >> Rules >> Search for Application='Order Management' and Entity = 'Order Header' >> Once the rules appear click on 'Defaulting Condition template' >> Under 'In Negotiation Phase' create another Validaton template named 'In Fulfillment Phase' >> Enter any Group# >>Under Validation Rules, Select Attribute as 'Transaction Phase' >> Mark it '=' 'Fulfillment' >> Save
(2) Click Tools (top menu option) >> Generate Defaulting Handler package (you can also run the conc program)
(3) Go to the Ordered Date defaulting rule and do as I had mentioned below.
Please let me know if that helped.

I'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

i'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

What is the source & link to this 8 GB kit please?
Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

Is it possible for Windows 2008R2 Domain Controllers to audit when a programs are installed/uninstalled on clients and send alerts to Admins?

We have a program called Audit Wizard that we used with Windows 2003 that monitored all clients and alerted my department when a program was installed/uininstalled. since upgrading to windows server 2008R2, the program no longer works correctly.
So we are wondering if it is possible for Windows 2008R2 Domain Controllers, running at a 2008R2 forest and domain level) to be able to audit when a programs are installed/uninstalled on clients and send alerts to our Admins?
If so, How?
Thanks in advance for your help!

As far as I know, group policy can't help us do this. If you are interested, we can take a look at System Center Operation Manager and ask for suggestions in the following SCOM forum.

Scrolling to next range in advanced table when new rows are added.

I programatically implemented Add New Row in an advanced table.
"Records Displayed" attribute of advanced table =10, so as log as I add upto 10 new rows the table displays 10 rows,if I add 11th record the new record is appended @ 11th position but I've to choose "Next" link on the advanced table to see the 11th row.Is it possible to show the last rowset in the advanced table when new rows are added?
The underlaying VO executes the following code when "Add New Row" button is pressed:
int rCount = this.getFetchedRowCount();
int rangeSize = this.getRangeSize();
int rangeStart = this.getRangeStart();
if (rCount < rangeSize) {
this.insertRowAtRangeIndex(rCount, newRow);
} else {
this.setRangeSize(rCount+1);
this.insertRowAtRangeIndex(rCount, newRow);
this.setCurrentRow(newRow);
To scroll to the 11-20 rows (when added more than 10 rows),I tried with following options, but none of them helped:
1) int newRangeStart = ( rCount / 10 ) * 10 ;
this.setRangeStart(newRangeStart);
2) this.scrollRange(newRangeStart);
3) this.scrollRange(rCount);
4) int newRangePage = rCount / 10;
this.scrollToRangePage(newRangePage+1);
5) this.getNextRangeSet();
Please let me if it is possible to achieve.

What happens if you just add the new row without specifying where to add it ? doesn't it add the new row on the same page as the last row ?
Thanks

My new mags won't download even though my subscription is up to date. After 2 weeks of frustration I still am clueless. Can anyone help? I am set to automatic uploads when new mags are available and still nothing. So frustrating when I have paid for them.

[SOLVED] Which packages are installed as dependencies when upgrading?

Hello,
When upgrading, I'd like to know which packages are upgraded and which ones are installed as new dependencies.
How can I do that?
The problem for me here is that I'd like to know which package is triggering an install of mariadb (which I don't need nor want).
Thanks in advance!

Pushing a file association change?

Does anyone know how to go about issuing a change in file association to remote clients, either by commandline, an applescript, or MCX record?
I recently installed Bean wordprocessor for use in an elementary school, however the documents default to textedit when I launch them. I would prefer not to have to touch all these laptops if necessary.
Any means of changing file association via ARD or Server would be appreciated.

Try downloading the offline installers:

Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

File size changing when pass through after effects (180Mb file goes in and comes out 33GB on export)

im processing a video recorded of an interview where the lighting was not very good on the interviewee
im brightening up the light on the interviewees face
the file was a 180Mb H.264 file on import
when i export the file its coming out at 33GB in size.... im not sure why this is
i have chosen the default setting "lossless" as the format for export
i just want the file to export the same size and quality as it was when i imported it
what options should i choose for this? AE does not seem to tell me how big the end file will be and it takes 1 hour and half to process this 2 minute interview so it will take me an awfull long time to get to the bottom of this if i try by myself
thanks

It doesn't "increase" the file size. You're making a brand new file.
What you put into After Effects has nothing to do with the resulting file. You can have an AE composition with no footage whatsoever and the resulting file will be much larger than 0!
After Effects works internally with completely uncompressed pixel data, so no matter what you toss into it, it produces whatever you tell it to produce. As Mylenium points out, you made an uncompressed final file.
Your original video file is VERY compressed. So, of COURSE uncompressed video is going to look massive by comparison.
Read Mylenium's link to understand a bit more and go here to learn AE: Getting started with After Effects There are lots of "gotchas" like this that'll bit your butt if you skip this basic training stuff.

How To Make File Association Changes Permenant

I'm having a problem with file associations reverting back every time I turn of my computer.
I'm using Finder "change all" function to change the file association. It works until I turn off my computer. Once rebooted file associations return.
It's a real hassle. For some reason MP4 files keep getting associated with Windows media player. Everytime I try to open one, parallalels loads up windows.
Any advise?

Why do file sizes change when I use "Process Multiple Images" to add watermarks?

Hi,
I'm using Elements 11. In order to add watermarks to many JPG pics at once, I use the function "Process Multiple Files".
I select a source folder and a destination folder, and adds a three digit serial number to each file. I do NOT tick the checkbox marked "Change picture size". After that I define the watermark I want printed on my pics and hits OK. All the files in the source folder are processed and saved, with a new name in the destination folder. Fair and square.
But. The file size of the new file is heavily reduced, compared to the original. It goes from 10 MB down to 500 KB (in general). Why is that? Is there any way I can prevent it?
Regards,
/Mikael Lindgren

Or you can uncheck the convert files box to save them in their original format, or select one of the lossless formats PSD, BMP, TIF. What is most appropriate depends on what you intend to do with the watermarked versions.
Cheers,
Neale

Original video file date changes when imported

When I import video files, the date of the original source file gets changed to the date of my importing it.
Premiere Pro CS4 never did that. Why is CS5.5 changing the date of the source file ??
steve

Hi Todd, --
I think you are saying my 'write xmp id to files on import' must be turned ON somehow. I did not do that, so if it is turned ON, it must be ON by default ?
It was both 'date created' AND 'date modified' that were being changed to the date of import.
Ok, I found that. It is turned ON by default, I turned it OFF. I also turned OFF the next one too - 'enable clip and xmp metadata linking'.
I just did a test import, and the 'date modified' of the video files on the hard drive has not changed. Thank you. VERY MUCH.
But, I have other problems too, with PP, and video file dates.
There's a 'date created' and a 'date modified' for video files. Plus, with Windows 7, there's a few more dates - 'date of content' etc.
My original untouched video file dates do not make any sense. 'Date Modified' is showing the date the video files were recorded. 'Date Created' is showing the date I copied the video files from the camera stick to the hard drive.
That makes no sense. They should be the reverse.
Why why why after 30 some odd years have the computer engineers NEVER made video files dates the same as digital photo files, with 'Date Taken'.
Also,
I have multiple cameras. For each event or trip or whatever I often take several 1,000 photos and videos. It's an absolute necessity to be able to mass import chronologically. The only way I can integrate / import them all in chronological order is by Date originally Taken, and then immediately drag all the files to the timeline while they are still all collectively highlighted in the order I just imported them all by date.
PP only allows for imports by 'date taken' for photos and 'date modified' for video files. And, if I don't immediately drag the imported files to the timeline while they are all still highlighted without doing anything else first, the bin window re-arranges them all by filename, and there is no way to later re-arrange them by dates.
This is extremely aggravating and impossible to work with for my need to import then later work with multiple-source recorded files chronologically.
All these 'date' problems for video files really totally screws that.

How to choose when windows updates are installed

On previous versions of Windows I always used to set updates to be installed on a Monday, 6 days after Patch Tuesday, allowing enough time for any buggy updates to get redacted so I didn't end up with a bricked system.
I cannot find how to do this on Winodws 8.1, there doesn't seem to be any option to choose when updates are installed.
Snake

Hi,
You can control the schedule behavior via group policy, run gpedit.msc to launch the group policy editor
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update\Configure Automatic Updates, then change the options as you want
after that, run gpupdate /force to update the policy

Filenames keep duplicating themselves when new rolls are added!!

I used to use an older Sony digital camera to take photos. Each of the photos filnames from that camera began with "DSC", now I use a Nikon D40 and those photos' filenames also begin with "DSC" and in most cases have the exact same filename from previous dates. I have so many photos that use the same exact filename that it is such a pain to locate each and every photo to rename each one differently everytime I import new photos. Is there a setting in iPhoto that would help create brand new filenames with each and every import so that I wouldn't have to rename them manually?? Or is it an issue with the camera??
Ro

Your camera names he files, and as Larry says, all iPhoto does is copy them over.
Filenames are really irrelevant in iPhoto. It’s well capable of managing multiple files of the same name. What you can do is add a Title to a photo using the Info Pane (Lower left) or batch change many photos using the Photos -> Batch Change command. These titles are as searchable as filenames in iPhoto or any of the apps that integrate with it.
If you want to use the Photos outside the iPhoto ecosystem then you can use the File -> Export command and use the option in the export window to use the Title as filename on the exported image.
Options other than that include moving the files from your camera to the Deskkop first and then using a Batch Renaming utility such as Name Mangler prior to importing them.
To find your pics...
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

TD
