Global Replacement bug

We are using source control at work with Dreamweaver in order to make sure that files are protected and that nothing is lost due to mulitple people working on the site at the same time.
Here is what we just figured out:
Lets say two people are working on a folder full of files. Person A checks out the files and make changes to them, then checks the files back in. Then person B does a global replace on this folder on their "local" machine. For some reason, the files on person B's computer aren't sync'd on automatic check-out (files are automatically checked out for a global replacement) so older local versions of the file may have the replacements done to them. Then when the files on person B's PC are checked back in after the replacement, the previous changes made by person A are lost. This isn't how the process works when you open an individual file locally. Normally when you check out a local file the most recent version is pulled over from the server and your older local version is overwritten.
Why do the rules change when you do a global replace? This makes no sense, as when you open a file or check it out individually, you get the latest copy from the server. Why isn't the global replacement "getting" the latest file before it does the replacement? This seems like a major bug to me. We just lost a ton of work thanks to thie "feature". So, don't use global replacement on your local site with syncing first, or you may just lose hours and hours of work.

Explain your arrangement a bit for me, please.
Are you using CheckIn/CheckOut?
Are you sharing a staging server as a remote site, and each user has a unique local site?

Globally Replacing a Noisy Media File with a Cleaned Up File in FCE

I'm working on a project where I have found that one of my master clips has an audio issue. I've used subclips from this master clip in many places in my video. I'd like to know if thee is a way to process the audio of this master clip and have FCE pickup the cleaned up version of the media automatically for all the subclips used in my sequence. I've found a noise removal effect in a program called Audacity that works quite well to get rid of the noise in my master clip. I'm just not sure about the workflow to get the cleaned up file back into my FCE timeline. Audacity is supposed to work as an external editor in FCE, but haven't been able to get this to work correctly. Here's my proposal:
1. Place my master clip on new sequence and export the audo tracks to an AIFF file.
2. Process this file in Audacity using the Audacity Noise Removal effect and save to a .AIFF file.
3. Import this clean .AIFF file back into FCE.
4. Repace the audio on the timeline with the cleaned up audio file.
5. Export this sequence to QTMovie.
6. Exit FCE and using Finder, replce the original master clip media file in the Capture Scratch directory with the new file with the identical name as the original file
7. Re launch FCE and hope the program picks up the new file like nothing had changed.
Does anyone know if this can work as a way to do a global replace on a mdeia file tht needed cleaning up.
Doug

Should work as long as both files are the exact same length - the alternative is moving your original file to a new location then using the reconnect menu to navigate to the edited clip.

iOS 7 Basically it looks like Apple has introduced globally a bug in their notification center software with no known solution, every app using notification center throws a pop up on startup. All I find on this forum are overkill solutions like reinstalling/rolling back the os, which no real user should to be forced to do for a minor bug of this nature.

It throws a popup only the first time you launch the app, to confirm whether you wish to have notifications enabled for that specific app.

How do I globally replace a bold character override in FM10?

How do I globally replace a bold character override with a specific character format from the character format catalog in FM10? I am not concerned about filtering for specific paragraph tags.
Thanks,
Marc

This is far as I've managed …
apply the character style in question to a word, then use Edit > Copy special to put the character style in the clipboard
use Find/change to locate Character format override
if this finds a local override you want to clean up, click [Change & find]
Not global in the sense "sort out my whole book with one click", but perhaps a step in the right direction.
Off-thread question: what's the general feeling about formatting for step 3 – is it OK to be informal and start an instruction with "if"? I like to explain the condition before giving the instruction, to avoid tripping up people like me who tend to process strictly from left to right :-} An indented paragraph after step 2 "If … then continue to step 3" would be thorough, but seems a bit clumsy.

[CC] Search&Replace: Bug only with Regular Expressions

Can you confirm the following behaviour/bug?
Steps to reproduce:
1 Create a new document in DW CC
2 Enter that text in the source code view:
<p>€</p>
3 Open Search&Replace
Field Search in: Current document
Field Search: Text
Field Search (3rd Field): €
Start Search
Result: As expected the "€" is found.
4 [x] Regular Expressions
Start Search
Result: "€" isn't found
Can you reproduce that?
Do you regard that as a bug like me?
If not, why please?
Do you think it is technically impossible for the developers to solve the task?
Do you think the developers forgot to gray out "text" in the choice box and allow regular expressions only in source code?
Thanks.

Nice that you like the nick
Sure, I know that I can file a feature wish.
But my main interest in this forum is to know, what other users think about certain features, why they think so, which they miss, which they regard as a bug, ...
When I remember it right, you told me some time ago, that you don't use RegEx.
Than I understand, that everything around that feature is not important for you.
What I like to understand is, why you think the behaviour is logically.
For me it is the opposite.
You get a result with "Scope: Text", "[ ]RegEx".
And you get no result with "Scope: Text", "[x]RegEx".
Incredible strange.
I would appreciate, if you could explain more detailed your view.

Serious Global Variable Bug in Crosstabs

Global variables should have its scope within a main report. However if you use formulas particularly that keeps a running total within a crosstab that utilises global variables you find that once the crosstab continues over a page break the values in the global variables are lost and reset back to zero.
A simple test would be to add the following VB formula in a summary field (as referred to in the above article) for the u201CDisplay Stringu201D property value
WhilePrintingRecords
Global Test as Currency
Test = Test + 1
formula = Totext(Test,0)
This is a bug in all versions of Crystal Report right up to 2008.
Whenever a cross-tab goes over a page break it resets any variables it is using, even though the variable is global. The reset goes back to the value of the variable at the beginning of the split section. Usually this means a reset to zero. However in cases where the variable already has a value before the cross-tab section starts, it resets to that value.
There must be a bug or design flaw in the way the split pieces of a cross-tab are processed.

Crosstab is not an ideal solution for a detailed or complex reports as it has many flaws. I myself ditched crosstab and used crosstab Mock to create my reports.

CF Search/Replace bug?

First off, I run CFB2 as a plugin to FB 4.5 on Win7 64bit. All was working properly until I installed the FB 4.6 release. Now, my "ColdFusion Search" no longer performs a replace. When I hit CTL+F I get the ColdFusion Search dialog like normal, type in my search criteria and hit Find it finds a match. If I hit Find All it finds all matches. So far so good. Now if I hit Replace All it does the search, but then I never get the "ColdFusion Replace Dialog". It just opens up my search view and shows my matches. Even if I use a single Replace it does not replace.
I've uninstalled FB 4.6 and CFB2 completely and re-installed and have the same problem. When I uninstall FB 4.6 and CFB2 then re-install with FB 4.5 and CFB2 the problem goes away.
Note: I have tried with and without the CFB2 hotfix 1 with same results.
So, am I the only one or should I log a bug report? I really want to use the new FB 4.6 features for our Air3 development, but can't sacrifice something as critical as a search/replace function on my CF stuff, and two standalone installs would defeat the purpose of having the IDE built on Eclipse.

I, too, am more than a little annoyed at the problematic "Find' function in files opened via RDS. The only way to get it to actually find anything is to do a replace on the same term! When I try to "Find All" I get a "No open file." message. The hotfix has done nothing to fix this problem.
HELP!

B2B Document Editor Global Replace for Requirement attribute

Hi Gurus,
I am having hard time to replace requirement attribute from required to optional to all segments and fields through B2B document editor.
Here is my scenario...
I am building a spec for "Application A" and it is expecting HL7 structure with all segments and fields are optionanl.
I tried with "Find & Replace" tool but when I select Segment and Field nodes it is not giving an option for "Requirement" (Search Atributes section)
Any trick?
Thanks,
Datla

Thanks Anuj,
It would be very helpful and save lot of time for us if we have that functionality in the tool. I am wondering what stopping in the tool to replace "Requirement" and "User Option" attributes as it is allowing to replace all other (Data Type, ID, Name, Position,Purpose, Repeats) attributes.
Thanks,
Datla

How do I replace 2 pantone colors with 2 new pantone colors globally? I have a 2 PMS logo with many tint variations in it . When I replace PMS in Swatches pallette. The logo does not globally replace the selected color. es

I have a 2-PMS color logo with many tints in it of the 2 colors. When I replace the swatches in the logo to new colors, they convert from Book Color to CMYK. Can the printer work with that? How can I kee it a 2-color separation?
MaryFl

This is what I understand. You have a logo in a document that uses PMS 'A' and PMS 'B' colors and you want to change to colors PMS 'C' and PMS 'D'. If this is correct there are different ways to do this, but here is a traditional way:
Make sure Select Same Tint is turned OFF in the Preferences. And all objects are unlocked in the document.
Get the two PMS (C and D) in the document's Swatches Panel.
Select PMS 'A' and bring the 'Fill' box in focus.
From the Select menu choose Same > Fill Color.
Click on PMS 'C' in Swatches panel to replace all PMS 'A' fills with PMS 'C'.
Deselect all.
Again select PMS 'A' and this time bring 'Stroke' box in focus.
From the Select menu choose Same > Stroke Color.
Click on PMS 'C' in Swatches panel to replace all PMS 'A' strokes with PMS 'C'.
Deselect all.
Similarly using the same approach replace PMS 'B' wit PMS 'D'.
If you have CS3 / CS4 and the PMS colors in the logo are easily identifiable, you can use Live Color to change the colors pretty easily.
Hope this helps!
- Neeraj
New Note: If there are gradients / blends that use these PMS colors the above approach would not work, but Live Color can.

How to global replace multiple objects using csm

Hi All
I’m new to this forum.
We use csm 4.6 to manage about 400 cisco firewalls. After a large migration project there are a lot of objects with different names but with the same content. I know you can do a find and replace on a single object on a single firewall policy.
But is it also possible to replace multiple object for 1 on multiple firewall policy
Example.
We have 40 groups named net-1, net-2 , net-3, …. net-40 the content of the groups are the same but their used in different firewall policies. I would like to replace them all in one go on all the firewall which has one of those groups to the new group net-all.
I’m also looking in a way to delete all non used object in the csm database (hosts, groups, network, services) Is this possible?
Kind Regards
Eduard

Jacob,
I decided to take one more stab at the logo before uploading it, and I finally figured it out.
I selected one white shape and one colored shape. In the pathfinder panel, I clicked on the second pathfinder icon -- TRIM. That "cut out" the part of the colored shape that I needed cut out, and it grouped the two items (white and colored shapes).
I ungrouped the items, then selected the white shape again and the other colored shape. Did this for each shape I needed cut out and now Bob's my uncle.
Not sure why this didn't work for me before -- I was either selecting the wrong pathfinder icon, or failing to ungroup the shapes after trimming them (before re-selecting the same white shape).
I've written down the procedure so I can remember how to do it next time!
Thanks,
Marlene

Global replace/update

Is it possible in FCE to make changes to a source file and have it automatically update all the sequences where that source clip is used?
I'm working on a project which has twelve sequences totalling forty minutes, built on over twenty source files (interviews with different people). I've discovered that Source File A, for example, which has bits and pieces scattered throughout the twelve sequences, has an audio problem which can be fixed with one of the filters. Is there a way to make the correction in the source file and then have FCE automatically update all the places where this interview appears in my project? Or is it necessarty to locate each clip in the sequences and fix them individually?

Since FCE is a non-destructive editor, it will not automatically update changes you make to a clip to other clips in the Timeline. However, once you've made the needed changes to one clip, copy it (Command c) then select (highlight) the other clips in that Sequence to which you want to apply the corrections, right-click on one and then choose Paste Attributes from the pop-up menu. In the Paste Attributes window, click on the Audio attributes (Levels, Pans, Filters, etc) that you want to apply to the selected clips.
Once you've done the first Sequence, continue to the other Sequences one-by-one. You won't need to recopy the first clip again for the other Sequences, just paste attributes as needed.

Global Color Replacement throughout document

I am trying to figure out a way to globally replace/swap one color for another within a document. My document would have multiple layers made up of solid color fills, text layers (possibly multiple colors within the copy block), and even possibly the color put into a bitmap import.
I am looking to better a workflow process in photoshop for updating website/interactive files. Sometimes this might work for updating global font color, layer effects(stroke/drop-shadows...), color layers, etc. The color swap that i am looking for is similar to if you were to update a swatch in InDesign. It would update everything using that specific color.
Any help figuring out how to update a file in this way would be great help and appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey Melenium,
Thanks for the response. I am not exactly following. I am guessing you mean to make all of the same colors the same grey value? but not sure how to add a 'gradient tint adjustment'

Search and Replace in Pages 5

Search and Replace in Pages is now seriously regressive. Previously I could search for "invisibles" in a document and globally replace the search "invisible" by a replace one. Now I can't find a way of doing that. Any suggestions?

Try this:
Turn on Show Invisibles in the View menu.
Select (highlight) the double para breaks.
Use Command-E (Find using selected text).
Open the Find dialogue box (Command-F) and select Find & Replace.The selected para breaks will be in the Find text entry box, but will not be visible!
Click in the Replace text entry box.
Select (highlight) a single para break.
Go to the Edit menu / Find and select 'Use selection for replace' (it will not show in the Replace entry box).
In the Find & Replace dialogue box, click on the Forward or Back arrows to highlight the selected items (e.g. double para break) where you wish to start replacing in the document.
Use the Replace All / Replace & Find / Replace buttons as per usual.
Not a nice solution, but I hope it gets you going until Apple restores the previous functionality!

Replace function in JDeveloper 3.2

Hi JDev Team:
Are there any global replace functions in JDev 3.2, for instance I have one word, say 'aaaa', in all of my projct files, .jsp, .java, .... I like to replace with 'bbbb'.
Thanks

The JDeveloper Editor provides Search & Replace functionality for files.
What I typically do is
Select menu: Search | Search Source Path...
Enter Search String and Change Source path
and other fields and press Start
Then the Navigator displays a Search tab which lists all files with the matching string.
Double click on first file in navigator and
select menu Search | Replace
In this dialog enter your search, replace, and other options-
In the Options, If you do not want to be prompted, do not check the Prompt on replace option.
Select the Scope of Global
Selectg the Origin of Entire
When you are ready press the Multiple button to make multiple replacements.
When you are done with this file,
Press Ctrl-S to Save the file
Press Ctrl-F4 to close the window
Double click on the Next File
Press Ctrl-R to invoke the Search | Replace dialog.
You should not need to change any options.
Press Alt-M to select the Multiple Button!
While this may seem more complex then a simple Sed / Perl / Python script, it is more controllable, flexible and user friendly.
Besides, you may learn a few JDeveloper tricks.
Good Luck,
-John
