How can I batch change the view options of multiple playlists?

I would like to select multiple playlists and batch change their view options; seems like an obvious feature that should be there, but it does not seem to be there. I know of Assimilate View Options v2.2 in Doug's AppleScripts, but this is not what I want, since AWO requires you to do the change playlist by playlist, i.e., not in batch mode (and I have hundreds of playlists ...). Any idea? Please answer privately at [email protected] since I do not read this forum regularly. Thanks in advance for your help!

did you also check out the following script ?
[_*Change Hidden iTunes Preferences v2.4*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=changehiddenprefs]
This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:

How can I permanently change the opacity option when cropping an image?

I can save the crop opacity at say 5%, exit Photoshop 13, and setting has persisted (Edit > Preferences > Display & Cursors > Opacity). However, when I crop a second image without exiting PS, the opacity has returned to 75%. I am cropping some very dark scanned slides, and I need the 5% opacity to see the slide corners and edges.

See if resetting the pse 13 editor preferences makes any difference.
Go to Edit>Preferences>General, click on Reset Preferences on next launch and then restart the pse 13 editor.

Aperture: How can I batch change one part of a file name

I have a file name format for my motor sport pictures
EventNameYear_CarNumber_ImageNumber
I have just named 600+ images but after publishing the images, I spotted I put the event year as 2014 instead of 2015.
How can I batch change the year but leave everything else the same? I've been through the batch change options but cannot work it out
I am on Aperture 3.6, MacBook Pro on Yosemite 10.10.2
Thanks

So you renamed the versions in Aperture, the rename was not just done on the export?
The names could be changed either in Aperture or on the exported files but as was noted it would require a script to do it. Doing the rename on the exported files would be the easiest, Applescript or possibly even Automator or any number of 3rd party apps could handle this rather easily. Name Mangler comes to mind as possibly being able to handle this.

How can I manually change the height of the "Type ...

Hi all
Just got automatically installed the latest 6.22 version of skype few minutes ago and I got a few questions.
First and foremost, how can I MANUALLY change the height of the textbox, where I type the messages. I would like to make it larger, like in the previous versions of skype. I don't want to move my mouse cursor through the entire monitor to reach this tiny textbox.
And second, why you guys are trying constanly to ruin something that is working perfectly ? Going to revert to the previous version until you fix all these nuisances.
Regards

There is no way to do this, it is designed to be strictly landscape with keyboard, portrait without - not the best thought-out phone on the market, mainly geared towards compulsive texters and e-mailers.
There's no way to know whetherNokia will change this with any future updates, perhaps you should make the recommendation to them directly using the 'contact us' link.

How can you add/change the currency rate in spro?

Hi all,
you can add a new currency code by going to spro --- general settings --- check currency codes
for example: PERU ---> PEN
But, how can we add/change the currency rate PEN in spro?
for example: Peruvian Nuevo Sol = 4,3567619
Is it still in customizing? And if so, where can i find it?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Pamela.

Hi Aman,
I have entered the field to add the new currency rate.
But the system doesn't want to valid my new rate.
I get the following error message:
"Input should be in the form ._,____ "
Do you know how to override that command?
Thanks.
Regards,
Pamela

I can't change the view of a smart playlist in iTunes 11. Columns display at the top will not convert to list

Hi - I just upgraded from the previous version of iTunes to iTunes 11. One of my previous playlists appeared as a smart playlist, and when it displays there is a set of columns at the top with a separation splitting the columns from the list. I am trying to get rid of the columns from the top of this screen, but have been unable to find any information on how to do this. This only happens in this playlist, and I am unable to locate a view option or display setting that will change it. The "Column Browser' is unavailable in the view menu.
Thanks

Is the App-Installation restriction in Settings/General/Restrictions on that iPod activated?
Does the problem come back after restoring "as new iPod" without using the backup?

How can I permanently change the orientation of an I-Phone MOV file.

I'm trying to burn DVDs for family members from some wedding videos I took with my I-Phone. Because I held the I-Phone in an upright, or "portrait" position, the normal playback comes through in a "landscape" orientation with the images laying sideways. Within QuickTime Pro, I'm able to rotate the viewing angle by 90 degrees to be viewed properly, but when I save the adjusted settings, the original file remains unchanged in its "un-rotated" format. How can I change the actual, native file format so that the orientation is correct for a DVD playback that does not have the benefit of QuickTime functionality?

The "normal" size of the source video is 1920 pixels wide x 1080 pixels high. My goal is to crop some of both the top and bottom of the display area so as to reduce the size of the pillar box effect when I export the file in the 90-degree rotated position. Within Photoshop I made as many as 12 different variations of masks using the same 1920x1080 dimensions. But when I apply the masks, the resulting views I get are bottom left, bottom right, bottom middle, etc., but none of the masks will display any portion of the top half of my source video?
Maybe it would be easier to run through the entire strategy here. First of all you have determine your workflow.
1) First of all you have to decide if you are making a data DVD (one that plays on a computer) or a normal DVD that is to be played on a commercial DVD player. Based on your previous comments, I had assumed you wanted the latter.
2) The next step is to decide which DVD standard you need for the DVD player. Am assuming you are creating an NTSC DVD here which means your final encode matrix will be 720x480.
3) The next step is to decide whether you are creating a widescreen or a full screen DVD. I.e., you need to decide whether you need to mask or crop your content to a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio.
4) At this point I would decide upon a specific workflow strategy—i.e., whether to crop or mask the content. Since you mention the creation of masks, I assume this is your preference.
5) Having answered the above questions, I would now open the rotated file in QT 7 Pro as a 1080x1920 display file.
6) At this point I would probably scale the display dimensions as needed to most easily work at your preferred target aspect ratio. By this I mean your maximum width is 1080 which works well at a 4:3 aspect (1080x810) but not so well as 16:9 aspect (1080x607.5) mask. Obviously in the latter case dimensions something like 960x540 would be easier to work with and I would likely "scale" the display width to 960 in the "Keep Aspect" mode and allow QT 7 Pro to scale the verticle dimension as it pleases.
7) Now is the time to create the white mask background at the same dimensions as your scaled or unscaled display screen as currently open in QT 7 Pro.
8) To create the actual mask, you now black out the area (e.g., 1080x810 within a 1080x1920 screen or 960x540 within your "scaled" display screen) you want to display in your final DVD. This area can be centered or offset high or low to center the focus of attention in your final DVD.
9) Once you have finished step 8, you can export your properly oriented and masked content to any compression formats compatible with your DVD authoring application which will properly scale, convert, and author the content for DVD burning according to the proper widescreen or full screen settings selected by you.

How can I always change the color of certain letters?

I know that sounds weird. But hear me out.
I was reading an article about synaesthesia, and it seems that reading with certain letters always displaying in a certain color can do interesting things.
I'm not trying to do anything too crazy, just a little experiment on myself.
So I'm wondering if anybody knows how I may change the color of certain letters on my Mac? I realize that'll make some interfaces look screwy, and in some instances it may not be possible - but is there a way?
Thanks!

You and me both, let's wait and see what other say. My guess would be that modifications of that type aren't possible w/o some serious "modifications" i.e. hacks, if even via that method, specifically regarding the operating system.

How can I programmatically change the voltage range settings in a DAQ Assistant

Hi,
First post here.
I need to be able to change the voltage range properties of a daqmx DAQ Assistant based on user input. My hardware, an SCXI-1102C does not allow changing this property on a running task, so I'd like to either set the analog input voltage range before the DAQ Assistant activates, or pause the DAQ Assistant immediately after it starts, set the values and then resume.
I don't know how to edit the task ahead of time because the DAQ assistant creates the task when it runs, and there is no task before that.
In the attached picture, I have a conditional section, set to run only if the while loop iteration is 0. I take the task from the Daq assistant, send it to a stop task vi, set the property, and then send the task on to the start task vi. I can watch it run with the debug light on, and everything seems to work correctly, but on the second (and all the other) iteration of the loop, I read out AI.Max and it seems like the DAQ Assistant has re set it back to 5V. Can anyone see what is going wrong here?
BTW, this is continuous acquisition and the code does not produce error messages when it runs.
I did come across a similar question that someone posted here back in 2006, but his question was specifically aimed at a Labview API (VB, I think), and not an actual G solution.
Attached are the actual vi in question and a png image of the block diagram.
Thanks!

First, if you want to start getting beyond the basics with DAQ, you are going to have to stop using the DAQ assistant and do it with lower level DAQmx VI's. There are hundreds of examples in the example finder. You can even right click on the DAQ assistant and select open front panel. That will create a subVI that you can open and see what is going on behind the scenes. Do it. I think you'll find the DAQ task is being recreated on each (though I'm not 100% of how the settings are established or maintained in each section of that subVI).
The second problem is you have a bit of a race condition on iteration 0. Those two DAQ property nodes are running at the same time. So when you read the AI.Max, it may be happening before or after the AI.Max is set in your case structure.
Third, make sure you wire up your error wires.

How can you increase/change the font size using window.print

We don't use BI/XML Publisher.
I have a button with an URL Redirect to print.
javascript:window.print();
How can I give the user the option to print with a different font or larger size or optionally to set it the same for everyone?
thanks

Hi,
I would think that, generally speaking, users would print from a Printer Friendly page. This is a page template that has most of the top and bottom (that is, the tabs and footers) of a normal page removed. You can switch a page to a Printer Friendly one fairly easily - see: Re: Print Report without Template for an example. As this is a separate page template, you can use printer-only styling. The downside is that you can only have one Printer Friendly page in your application, so you have to be careful to make any styling generic.

How can I temporary change the encoding of the current page as I can do on IE ?

In IE, I can choose the encoding of the current page from the menu bar. How can I do this on Firefox ?
Just the current page only. Not the preferred language in option menu please.

How can I programatically change the slave acquisition mode of my pci-1409?

In my LabVIEW application I need to be able to programmatically change the slave acquisition mode from standard to external HV lock. I couldn't find this property listed in the property node.

Nan,
When you change this property in MAX, you are actually modifying the camera file for the session (*.icd file). These file can be modified just like a text file. You could programtically modify parse and modify the "SlaveAcqMode (STANDARD)" line in the camera file to reflect the mode you want to use. Below is a KB that explains how to parse and modify an *.iid file, you can use the same method on the icd file.

How can I permanently change the date format from the American format to the UK's without having to constantly change it manually every time I start a new spreadsheet?

This is my first mac so I'm still getting my bearings with it. I've only used Windows programmes before. I can't understand why it's so hard to change the date format of the cells in Numbers to keep it showing the UK format. The system preferences of the mac show that it's in the correct region and has the correct date but this doesn't seem to transfer into the Numbers program. I was very impressed with the mac until I discovered this. If anyone knows how I can get the date to stay in the correct format without having to go through the process of altering it in the cell inspector everytime then I would be very grateful.

Numbers & most apps, especially those from Apple, use the date format you have set in System Preferences > Language & Text > Region. You can then choose UK from the Region drop-down list. Mine says Custom because I've defined things further as in the second screenshot.
