Apex 4.0 comments section not just for comments anymore?

Had a developer find a new 'feature' in Apex4 yesterday. Is this a bug? or is something else amiss?
Here are his comments:
Apex Developers,
I found a really weird problem and wanted to share it with you. First, some background. At the bottom of nearly every page, as you edit a region for instance, there is a place for comments.
I have always used this as a temporary place-holder for changes as I edit. For example, today I was editing a region that is a simple SQL Report with a query. I wanted to make significant changes to the query so I copied and pasted my query from the Source box into the Comments box at the bottom of the page. My assumption has always been that the Comments box was for comments...not actual code or anything that displays on-screen. That may be partially true but it does affect the way your pages run!!
I changed the query and it worked fine. OK. So far so good. However, when I went to change one of my columns to use an existing LOV it died with a "no data found" error. I chased my tail for a while and finally ended up creating a new region with identical SQL. That new one worked while the original one continued to fail with identical code. I compared the regions and the only diff was the comments. On a lark I deleted the comments out of there and the damned thing worked!!!!!!! Arrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!

Hi,
I think the "no-data-found" error behavior was not related to the value in the comment, instead I think you have hit bug# 9879227 on our known issues list at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/4.0_known_issues.html
The "Apply Changes" actually fixed your tabular form/report meta data problem after you removed the comment. I'm pretty sure if you add the comment back into your region the error will not occur anymore.
Regards
Patrick

Gsmartcontrol polkit problem: Not asking for password anymore [solved]

polkit 0.112-2
polkit-gnome 0.105-2
gsmartcontrol 0.8.7-4
DE: LXDE
When trying to use gsmartcontrol as normal user it does not ask for permission anymore but starts and the drives are shown as 'unknown model' now.
The polkit-gnome-authentication is autostarted at boot and works fine with gparted e.g.
But with gsmartcontrol I get:
polkitd[356]: Operator of unix-session:c1 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.archlinux.pkexec.gparted for unix-process:1126:101937 [/bin/bash /usr/bin/gparted_polkit] (owned by unix-user:user)
How can I get gsmartcontrol working again as normal user?
SOLUTION:
Use '/usr/bin/gsmartcontrol_polkit' instead of (de)fault '/usr/bin/gsmartcontrol' in your starter.

Hello,
I sometimes have the same problem, but there's a secure way to overcome this behaviour : when you have finished your purchases, simply go to "configuration" and "store" folder where you'll simply deactivate your account. It's the safest way, sure.
When you wish to access appstore again, go to this folder back and activate. ID & Password will be required then to download.
Hope this will help.
Cheers.

8.3 Is Not Just for New Camera Support

I read all through the gumph when DPReview announced that ACR8.3 was available, and decided not to bother because it only seemed to support some new camera models. But just seen a post in John Nack's blog that suggests there's a bit more to it. So in case I was not the only person missing out...
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2013/11/camera-8-3-rc-for-photoshop-cc-cs6-available-on-adobe -labs.html
or
Camera 8.3 RC for Photoshop CC & CS6 available on Adobe Labs
Camera Raw 8.3 is now available as a release candidate on Adobe Labs for Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC on Adobe Labs. For both versions it includes the new camera support mentioned below, and for Photoshop CC includes the following new features:
Whites and Blacks now support Auto Levels-like functionality via shift-double-click on the sliders.
Separate Auto Temperature and Auto Tint feature. Shift-double-click to invoke “auto temperature” and “auto tint” separately.
Ability to option-click shortcut in Synchronize, New Preset, Save Settings, and Copy/Paste (Bridge) dialog boxes. Option-click a checkbox to check that box exclusively. Option-click again to toggle previous checkbox state.
Set the background color of the work area. Context-click outside the image in the work area to select a background color from a popup menu.

I thought I started this thread in the Photoshop forum, but I guess it might have been moved. Just my mind set, because I never browse this forum. The thing is I had people like JJ in mind who I am not sure if he will continute with the CC trial, and may just use CS6, but I hadn't thought about the extra features being for CC only.

Is Vodafone UK going to stock the Blackberry Passport for pay monthly upgrades? not just for business but for personal/regular users?

Hi
I was just wondering if there was any news about the Blackberry Passport being available to regular/personal contract holders on Vodafone UK.
I have seen it mentioned that it will be stocked for business users but theres no news about anyone else.
Please could someone give me a definitive answer as i would like to upgrade my Z10 for the Passport

Hi @guyveric
I'd recommend contacting Vodafone UK to express interest! In the interim, make sure you bookmark the Official Pricing and Availability for BlackBerry Passport post found on Inside BlackBerry. Thanks!

This was a script to apply nested styles directly to the text as character styles.It was supplied to me by someone on this forum to help make a file adaptable to an epub doc. It has worked fine for many months but now it does not. I am wondering if the cause is that I have added two nested styles in the paragraphs, where before there was only one. The paras. are currently set up with nested styles as follows:[none] up to En Space, italic through 5 sentences.                  I am using 5 sentences because I can't figure how to use a para. end as a limiter. I know this is confused but any help will be appreciated. Thanks

That looks like mine (and someone didn't follow my request on this page) :

You can PM me, and I'll try to figure out what's wrong...

Why we need Air Conditioning – not just for Comfort!

As far back as the Ancient Romans there is evidence of air-conditioned homes. Water from the aqueducts were circulated through their walls of to cool them. However, the first electrical air conditioner was invented by Willis Carrier in 1902. He invented it not for comfort, but for a publishing company to keep down the temperature and humidity so the paper did not expand or contract. Since then air conditioning has become one of the most significant engineering achievements of the last century and has impacted the economy and the world in many ways. If you think comfort is the only reason you need air conditioning in your home, think again as there are many other benefits.

This article made for a great read and was interesting to find out about the history air conditioning. Air conditioning is great in helping us keep cool during the warm months of the summer. I am actually surprised that it could mostly be found in movie theaters in its ealriest days. If that was the case, I can imagine people flocking to movie theaters during that early period in time. Possibly, some of the best uses for air conditioning units today can be found in the home, the regrigerator. The refrigerating unit is basically the same in the way it functions; the goal is to extract warm air from within the unit to keep the contents within it cool. What would we do without the modern refrigerator? food preservation would be hard.

Save Set-ADServerSettings permanently and not just for opened session on Exchange 2010

Hi guys!
We useExchange 2010.
If we set: Set-ADServerSettings -PreferredServer desiredDC.DOMAIN.LOCAL and then run: Get-AdServerSettings | fl
We see that changes were commited.
But as soon as we close and reopen Exchange Management shell and run Get-AdServerSettings | fl, it gives us old results.
Any hints how to achieve that Set-ADServerSettings -PreferredServer settings would be permanently saved?
with best regards
bostjanc

Bostjanc, the simplest way I'm sure of that will enforce the change is to add the command to the script at $PROFILE. This is located at C:\Users\<username>\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 in my Windows 7 system.
In your EMS shell, run "Notepad $PROFILE" and make the change. If you don't currently have a profile script defined there, you'll get the "Cannot find the Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 file. Do you want to create a new file?" popup,
but from there it should be simple to add the command you want.

Can't search for words anymore after saving PDFs in Preview

Hi everyone,
I would love to use Preview for my day-to-day use of previewing PDFs + highlighting + setting annotations. However, once I have saved the pdf with Preview I can not search for words anymore. If I search for one letter only, I would get cryptic hits like "7;%! 2%8%P%8!".
I am not sure, but I guess when preview saves the pdf using a Quartz PDF context, something happens with the index, or the underlying the font structuring.
Does anyone have had experience with these kinds of troubles?
Thanks in advance,
Heinrich

Hi, thanks for answering quickly, and the heads up on that other thread.
It undoubtedly has to do with the annotations or mark ups (the last, in my case).
In the linked-to thread they end by suggesting that it's because it's has "commenting not allowed" when you see it
using Adobe Reader, File > Properties > Security says Commenting: Not Allowed.
However, some documents with "commenting not allowed set in Adobe Reader I can highlight or annotate fine, without it messing up after saving.
Besides, any document I save as pdf even from Word, will say commenting not allowed in Adobe Reader. So if even my own documents are not highlight- or annotate-able without garbling the text, what documents would these functions be for, then?
I think what somebody mentioned in the other thread about character encodings hold some truth, I see it in documents in Danish with æ ø and å (however, not all!), but not in English-only docs (yet. Have any of you?).
Thanks in advance,
- Alexander

Scanners Aren't Just for Barcodes

Just like our mind, a scanner can read data in strange ways. Whether it is obscure lines and spaces or what appears to be bizarre squares randomly assembled. The scanner is not just for barcodes. It can read characters and decode them properly so as to make the unreadable readable. Intermec Imaging Solutions take advantage of this Optical Character Recognition capability to provide the ability to read checks, license plates, shipping container serial numbers, addresses, labels … or whatever your mind can imagine. Break out of barcode jail and run free with Imaging Solutions.

There's no need to go to the store if you don't want to. You can purchase and download the new version from the Parallels web site. In fact if you want to try it out, I believe you can do the download and get a two week trial version. Later you can purchase the serial number to make it official.
I cannot be certain about your data, but I did not lose anything when I updated to Lion and faced a similar situation.
Best of luck.

OAM-Files do not run in the Content Viewer for Desktop anymore

After updating DPS today animations made with Edge Animate (OAM-Files) do not run in the Content Viewer for Desktop anymore!
What happened there? Any ideas?
Thanks for help!
I'm using mac OS 10.8.2 and InDesign CS6 CC

I have updated Edge Animate today also with all files working & previewing perfectly within Edge. Upon publishing as OAM files for use in inDesign, the Poster loads as per usual, mark Play on Load interactivity on highlighted content holder as usual BUT when testing in Content Viewer file remains as a static poster image - unable to load animated atributes! I thought perhaps it may be a new viewing option so also uploaded page to DPS Acrobat Workspace & tested & the OAM file has not been assigned as inDesign. This is a massive issue! Our Magazine front cover needs its usual animation. Also tested previous files already live and they too do not view correctly in Content Viewer since update, as well are just a poster image! Adobe need to fix this fast!

HT4839 the iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6/2.2 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.

Hello.
the iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.
It worked fine at first, then I tried to start it up today and I got an error:
failed to create an ipc port access is denied
Now there is no message at all. Just wont launch.
I find NO support at Apple. I have seen about 20 other cries for help on these forums and no seems to have received any help for this. Does anyone know how to get this Utility working?
I am using Windows XP SP3
I have tried upgrdading to .NET 4 SP1 from .NET 3.5 SP1 and that didnt work so went back the other way and still no change.
I tried completely uninstalling and deleting all references in Regedit and reinstalling from the start about 4 times.
I tried completely uninstalling and then going back to an older version (2.2) and it doesn't work either.
Unfortunately there is no help on Apply that I can find and trying to find an -actual email support for Apple software or products is a joke- (man, nothing is more aggravating when you need product help and the provider hides or completely does away with any way to contact them for help ro sends you on an hour long search for it...)
I need to get this working as I am providing an easy iphone configure for my VPN service. Can anyone help?
THanks!!

I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore

I just downloaded more then 2000 photo's from my NIKON camera into iPhoto. Shortly after that my battery life was depleted and so I plugged the computer back into power and after I opened iPhoto later, I could not find those photos anymore!! Help where are they? How can I retrieve them or are they lost???
Please help me!!!

Do you see more photos, when you enable "Hidden Photos" in the "View" menu?
And that was afetr I took the connection with the NIKON out of my laptop.
Check, if you really imported into your iPhoto library - is the preference setting "Advanced > Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library" active? If not, connect your Nikon again - do you now see more photos?
If you imported into the iPhoto Library, check inside the package:
Select your iPhoto library in the Finder, ctrl-click it, use the command "Show Package Contents".
There will be a folder named "Masters" inside, with subfolders named by year - month - day. Look for the date you did the import and check, if the photos are inside.
If yes, copy this folder to a folder on your desktop to save the photos.
If not, search for a folder "Importing" inside the library. Is it there? Then copy these photos to a folder on the Desktop.
If you found your photos, backup and rebuild your library.
