Gnome 3.10: New naulilus windows no longer cascade

Hi,
I'm not sure whether this change in behavior happened with Gnome 3.8 or 3.10, but here goes:
Whenever I open a new nautilus window, the window no longer opens in cascade. Instead, it always opens up in top left corner of the desktop. So instead of neatly cascaded windows, I get a pile of windows in exactly the same place.
So is this a bug or another great Gnome "feature", and is there a way to fix it?

jtts

Hi Brad and welcome to Discussions,
Hi John,
A later done partitioning to add additional partitions to a harddisk alters the position of the BootCamp partition in the partition table so that the Windows Bootloader can not 'find' the Windows partition.
With Windows XP it helped to simply edit the Boot.Ini file and point it to the WIndows partition.
With Vista and Windows 7 there no longer is a boot.ini but EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 can do the same.
One thing to remember though is, that even Vista and Windows 7 'suffer' from the limitation of four partitions on one harddisk immenent to the Master Boot Record (MBR) since Apples EFI/GPT/MBR emulation can not handle Extended Partitions and Logical Partitions inside an Extended Partition.

New partition & windows no longer boots

Hey all, up until now i have had 3 partitions on my drive - Snow leopard, General media and Windows 7. I decided to add a linux partition and made a new partition using disk utility. I boot up to the choose disk screen to install ubuntu to find that windows is no longer an option for boot up, so i deleted the new partition and it still won't boot into windows anymore.
How can i restore the booting function? Doing it with a linux partition too would be preferable but it isn't necessary.
Thanks,
Brad

No longer able to create a new message window in Apple Mail

Please help! When I am in Apple Mail, I am no longer able to create a new message window (Command-N), and so cannot send any mail. This just started after the most recent OS update yesterday.

Have you tried
1. clicking on the New Message icon?
2. File menu / New Message?
I am trying to figure out if your problem is because Mail is not working, or whether it is a problem elsewhere, e.g. the keyboard.

I have an old iPod Classic with 80 GB (I think) of space. I saved all my songs in an external hard drive, but the iTunes library resided in an old computer (no longer working). Can I get the libray from my iPod and use it in my new computer (Windows)?

FF opens ok but why does it take so very long to load my home page.I have new laptop,windows 7. Can anyone suggest a solution please.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== yesterday for no apparent reason.

I had this problem once before, And now again.
The only thing I did different, was Instead of shutting down my computer, I click on Log off User.
Ever since then I have noticed windows XP is taking longer to load, and so is Firefox.
Hope this clue helps.

Problem: Ctrl+Shift+P does not work to toggle private browsing. It opens up a new private window, but no longer will toggle back to regular mode.

Opening private browsing w/ Ctrl+Shift+P works fine. But when I try to toggle back, it just opens up a new private window.
Is this a bug? Or an intentional change in the newest version?
Those of us who depend on keyboard shortcuts are often overlooked in software revisions. Users like me want to keep working without leaving the keyboard to grab a mouse...
Any suggestions or advice?
Thanks.

thanks. hard to lose an old keystroke habit....

Clicking on Finder icon in Dock no longer opens new Finder window

This behavior just started about a week ago. When I click on the Finder icon in the Dock, nothing happens, even though a new Finder window is supposed to appear. I have gone through the usual fix-its (deleting the Finder plist file, relaunching the Finder via Force Quit), but nothing has worked. Any suggestions as to the cause and possible remedies?

Here is what showed up in the Console:

Since installing 3.6.9 my Joomla content editor pop-up windows no longer return the URLs selected

I recently upgraded to Firefox 3.6.9 and found that when using the editor in a Joomla 1.0.15 website , the content editor pop-up windows no longer return URLs selected (eg: image or file URL to be used in a link). I have been using the site with no problems for many years, and the problem was cured when I reinstalled 3.6.8

Thanks cor-el but the problem is not in my web development but is a new issue/problem in FireFox which was not present in all versions up to and including version 3.6.8 and was only introduced in version 3.6.9. I have also established that the same problem also exists in FireFox version 4 beta 6 and have therefore also raised a second question today.
My understanding was that I should raise these issues in this forum, but I will also check out the other forum.

Opening file in a new tab/window

Hi,
I have a form (HTML added through a widget) and a number of images on one page. I want each image to be a link to a file, where the images will be seen full quality. however, doing this takes visitors away from the page instead of opening a new tab/window - then clicking back means that the form data is lost - i.e. tickboxes are no longer ticked, etc.
I cannot use the photo viewing page included in iWeb, as the pictures will then overlap with my form because the enlarged images are loaded on the same page.
I hope this makes sense, and if anyone could help with opening files in new tab/window it would be great, or a way of opening a photo viewing platform in a separate tab/window directly from a click of one of the photos. I have seen other sites - http://www.aroundthebusch.com/Folio/London%20to%20Istanbul.html
(this is not mine) where the photo viewing "platform" is IDEAL. I would love something just like this if someone could advise.
i do not want the photos to link to an external page (which can be opened in a new window) as it would mean me creating separate pages for each picture, and linking them all... no way!
Also, it would obviously be preferable to be quick to set up, but also to change. I would need to have multiple pages of many photos, each with the viewing facilities so it could not take a long time to set up. I may also need to add/delete some photos, so if all the linking work was done automatically it would be fantastic.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks in advance, James

If you open it in javascript and specify a height/width or location it should open in a new window.
window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400");

New browser window problem

I have many links on one page of my site that open in a new window. After clicking on an image that is in the middle of a page to open a new browser window, when returmning to the original page it has scrolled back up to the top of that page again.
Is there any way of ensuring that the orginal page stays in the place where you left it when returning from a new browser window?
See link:
http://www.nigelhewitt.com.au/_links/MainMenuLinks/CurrentArtwork.htm#
See, for example, if you click on even the second image down and then press close window, that the original page has scrolled back to the top.
Please help!

Your behavior is improperly applied directly to the <img> tag. It SHOULD have been applied to the anchor tag that surrounds the image. In addition, the symptoms you report are caused by your use of the octothorpe to create the 'null link'. In general, behaviors should never be applied directly to image tags. So, change this -
<a href="#"><img src="../../_images/Transience- small.jpg" alt="Transience" width="350" height="321" border="0" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../EnlargedImages/Transience.htm','CurrentImages','scrollbars=yes,resiza ble=yes,width=1000,height=800')"></a>
to this -
<a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../EnlargedImages/Transience.htm','CurrentImages','scrollbars=yes,resiza ble=yes,width=1000,height=800')"><img src="../../_images/Transience- small.jpg" alt="Transience" width="350" height="321" border="0" ></a>
Next, to get around the use of the octothorpe for the null link, you have to kill the link completely 'onclick' by adding 'return false' to the behavior call, like this -
<a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../EnlargedImages/Transience.htm','CurrentImages','scrollbars=yes,resiza ble=yes,width=1000,height=800');return false"><img src="../../_images/Transience- small.jpg" alt="Transience" width="350" height="321" border="0" ></a>
Finally, to give yourself a hedge against someone coming to your site with javascript disabled (in which case your open browser window will no longer work), copy the popup's filename to the link to replace the octothorpe, like this -
<a href="'../EnlargedImages/Transience.htm" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../EnlargedImages/Transience.htm','CurrentImages','scrollbars=yes,resiza ble=yes,width=1000,height=800')"><img src="../../_images/Transience- small.jpg" alt="Transience" width="350" height="321" border="0" ></a>
Now you're all set.

Open New Browser Window Behavior Issue

I've got a site that has a list of names of deceased people.
When a viewer clicks on a name I have a new browser window open
that is a small memorial page specific for that person. This list
is fairly long so the viewer has to scroll down a ways to get to
the bottom. If the viewer clicks a name towards the bottom and then
closes that new browser window they have to scroll all the way back
down and find where they left off. This of course, is assuming they
are going in order to view the memorial pages for each person. Is
there a way to make the "original page (with the list of names)"
not refresh to the top of the page? I'm using and would like to
continue using tables and not layers or styles.
Information can be sent onto [email protected]
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Cody

Cody,
It sounds like you are using <a href="#"
Try using <a href="javascript:;"
Or better yet, use David Powers' Smart Link:

Open QT In New Browser Window - Followup Q For Quicktime Kirk

Quicktime Kirk:
I found a thread a few months ago (now archived) where you explained how to open a QT movie in a new browser window at specified dimensions. The example you gave was your page:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/bushbashquiz/
So I've got it all working and it looks great in Safari and Fireworks (thanks very much!), BUT unfortunately it does not work in Explorer. What happens in Explorer is that the window basically targets "_.self" (i.e. the parent window goes away), and when you click the "Close Window" button it closes the window and you're left with nothing.
I know that Explorer has all kinds of bugs, but unfortunately it's popular -- esp. with the PC crowd whom I need to allow for. Do you or anyone know how to get this functionality working in Explorer???
Thanks again.

Yep. I just checked the link using IE for Mac. The "pop-up" window replaces the source window (not supposed to do that). Another reason to no longer use IE on a Mac.
The javascript is valid in every other Mac browser. Just not IE, it seems.
My PC is down (I think it really died this time) so I can't test its implementation of javascripts on a PC platform.
And, you're correct. It doesn't work as it should when opened using IE on a Mac.
I "borrowed" the javascript and it must contain errors that are not so obvious on the Mac OS.
I'll look for the cause but can't promise a solution. Thank you for pointing this out. I try very hard to accommodate all browsers and OS's. This one skipped by me (no IE use in years on my Mac).
Maybe a javascript guru can "fix" my (or IE's) sloppy page code.

Mail "New Message" window retreats to background after drag and drop attachment from Finder to Mail "New Message", click, and Finder window stays in foreground even when not in focus

Hi, I'm surprised I can't quickly find if anyone else is having this issue. For me it has been going on since Lion on my 13" MacBook Pro 2011 and it's still persisting in Mavericks, and even still now that I've "downgraded" to a 15" MacBook Pro 2010 with Mavericks. The behavior is odd and difficult to explain concisely. Basically, when I want to add an attachment to Mail, I'll Cmd+Tab over to Finder click and drag and Cmd+Tab back to Mail, and drop the attachment. At first it looks fine, but when I click in the New Message window where I just dropped the attachment, to move the cursor, it retreats to the background and the Mail Main Window comes to the foreground. Then, if I click on that, the Finder window that I just used comes to the foreground. Sometimes if I switched to another app before going to Finder to select the drag and drop, that other app window will appear in the foreground instead. If I click on the other app window that is now in the foreground, then the Finder window that was last used will come to the foreground. The only thing that seems to fix this switch-a-roo effect is Cmd+Tab-ing back and forth a few times, or click on the window "frame" at the top to move the window around.
The way to prevent this is to have my Mail Message window visible in the foreground side by side with the Finder window when the drag and drop occurs (this is a tedious extra step if mulitple windows are open, or to use the add attachment command in the menu within Mail. But it sure is annoying buggy behavior.
Thanks
Daniel

Yep, I get exactly the same thing when using Thunderbird mail client on my 2011 iMac running Lion. I've been putting up with it for at least a year, maybe longer.
For me it appeared to start after a Thunderbird update, so I figured that was the cause and couldn't find a solution at the time. However I've now noticed it starting to happen in Apple Motion 4 when dragging files from Finder into a DropZone in my animations. Motion remains the active program but the Finder window sits on top until I Cmd-tab out to a third open program (ie not Finder) and back to Motion again.
This is the first indicator I've had that it's an OS X issue.
Be great to find a solution as D&D is by far my preferred way of adding attachments to emails and similar tasks.

The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
* The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
I suggest a couple of things.
- Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
- A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
Edit 1:
..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.
