How can the «Jabber Priority» of iChat be set?

Jabber lets you login at various places at the same time.
To make sure you can control which location gets your messages, there is a system of priorities.
Every Jabber-Client lets you set a priority — the client with the highest priority that is online will then get the message. As soon as this client logs out, the next highest ranked client takes on the duty and so forth.
By default, iChat sends a priority of zero. This is the lowest «usable» priority for a normal client. Which means, it will be the last client to receive the message and will only be active if there is no client «superior» to iChat active.
Unfortunately, you can't change this setting in the preferences.
In the com.apple.iChat.Jabber.plist, you can actually see that there is a key called <priority>0</priority>. Unfortunately this key has no effect on iChat. It is simply ignored.
Does anyone know how to set the priority for Jabber connections in iChat?
Cheers
Chris

Hi,
The only way I can see that this could be done is to use Terminal to write to the .plist
I don't know the exact wording but this link should give you clues
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050610163358263
This writes to the iChatAgent .plist and reorders the Info from iTunes
It is older than iChat 4 and 5 and I have not tried it on there as the Apple AppleScript is now included in iChat.
Here is another on changing the default time until you show as idle
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=200402181751007&query=Defaultswriteichat
So it will start with ( A first vague stab)
defaults write com.apple.iChat Then a bit about the Jabber.plist followed by the heading just above the Key you list if there is one that distinguishes from the &lt:Priority> part.

    My question is that if I am using Mac and another friend of mine is using Ipad mini and her skpe isnt working and we want to share screens how can we do it through Ichat? Since on facetime screens cant be shared!

    Hi,
    You can't.
    Messages - the replacement for iChat in Mountain Lion and beyond will  do Screen Sharing  but only to the accounts it did in iChat 5 and 6  (actually it includes iChat 4 as well)
    That is to say in earlier version of iChat you could login to AIM and Jabber servers as well as enabling the Bonjour option to chat on your LAN.
    All these will do Video and Audio only chats which in turn means they will Screen Share.
    At iChat 6 an Yahoo option was added but it can only Text chat (it can't even send Files or Pics)
    This means only the Internet able accounts that login in to AIM or to a Jabber server  can Video and therefore Screen Share.
    The iMessages account will Invoke FaceTime if you use the Video icon during text chat.  (I.e. it is not Video inside the app like the AIM or Jabber accounts can do)
    NOTE.
    AIM includes Apple Issued Apple ID as Valid AIM Screen Names.
    Google Mail ID s can be used and Google Talk IDs with Messages as they run a Jabber server.
    Facebook allow you to create a Chat ID (Facebook Chat ID) which is also a Jabber server.

    While creating a device category i'm getting an error "enter a valid division via eg01,how can the error be overcome?

    Neha,
    you can do in two ways.
    1. Enter a valid Division which you configured in the system.
    2. Remove the Division as required field. However I suggest it should have a valid division. Why can not you check with your Functional owner?

  • Once PO is released against a PR, how can the PR be deleted or modified by

    Once PO is released against a PR, how can the PR be deleted or modified by the Requisitioner. Any / deletion of a PR,
    Note: Our Req No one Can PR delete if it have converted in po,

    hI,
    Note 521174 - ME52N: Deletion of a PReq despite PO
    Check this note is applicable or not at your end
    Summary
    Reason and Prerequisites
    You create a purchase requisition and a purchase order is generated from it. Afterwards, you change the purchase requisition by setting the deletion indicator. The system generates a warning message that a purchase order already exists for this purchase requisition. However, the deletion of such a purchase requisition should be prevented. Therefore, the system should generate the error message 06152.
    Other terms
    ME52, 06152.
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The warning message does not suffice.
    Solution
    After you implemented the correction, you can set set the message via Customizing. If you customize the message as an error message, a deletion is no longer possible. However, the message is not output as an error message in order to block a further processing of the purchase order. This only appears as an information message.

  • How can the payload of a XI message be normalized to the RFC-XMLuFF1F

    How can the payload of a XI message be normalized to the RFC-XML
    format? Is it possible to remove unwanted XML-Namespace declarations
    from a RFC-XML document?

    While sending a message to a RFC-Adapter receiver channel a error
    is thrown during RFC-XML-document parsing. The RFC-XML document looks
    like it has the correct RFC-XML format but there are some additional
    XML elements (e.g. XML-Namespace declarations). These elements can't
    be understood by the RFC-XML parser of the RFC-Adapter. This parser
    only is suitable for correct RFC-XML documents (like created by a
    RFC-Adapter sender channel or the SAP JCO).To remove the unneeded elements from the RFC-XML document a message
    mapping within the Integration Server can be used. The attached file
    rfcnormalizer.jar contains a XSLT-Stylesheet which can be used for
    this purpose.

  • How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking, etc accessed with combinations of letters and functional keys prior to Snow Leopard be achieved in Snow Leopard?

    How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking/punctuation pallet, available in pre-Snow Leopard OSes with various combinations of letter or number keys and functional keys, be accessed in Snow Leopard?  Those pre-Snow Leopard versions worked on the fly as one was making text in any pedestrian application and its native font (Mail, Text Edit, for example).  One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font preferences, etc.

    > One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font
    > preferences, etc.
    It hasn't worked like that since the Early Chalcolithic (ie, System 7 or thereabouts).
    You've already got plenty of answers. Briefly (and grossly oversimplified),
    - Mac OS X conforms to a standard known as Unicode; in its current incarnation, it defines over 100k characters.
    - A keypress is translated into a character according to the current keyboard layout.
    - The graphic representation of a character (ie, glyph), is provided by the current font.
    - If a font lacks a glyph for the requested character, either another font will be automatically chosen (Mac OS X text engine), or some form of feedback (empty box, question mark, etc) will be used.
    - To inspect the actual key codes, use a utility such as Key Codes.
    - To inspect the current keyboard layout, invoke Keyboard Viewer.
    - To inspect the full complement of glyphs of a font, invoke Character Viewer (also accessed with the Special Characters command).
    (Remember that both these utilities are resizable and zoomable -- you can enlarge them to a comfortable viewing size, then zoom out to see more of the screen for your original task.)
    - For a more detailed look, use a utility such as UnicodeChecker.
    - The default keyboard layout depends on your Mac OS X localisation.
    (Keep in mind that there's no need to stick with the default layout; choose whichever one makes sense to you, given your language, habits, and proclivities. Mac OS X comes bundled with quite a few, including some obviously designed for the huddled masses of refugees from the Dark Side, who, in their wretched ignorance, have the unmitigated gall of labelling our native ways "really uncomfortable". Oh well, this, too, shall pass.
    If none of the supplied keyboard layouts fits your needs -- if, for instance, you write your emails in Etruscan -- go out on the 'net, you'll find quite a few. Or write your own with Ukulele, it's not really all that difficult.)
    - Use Keyboard Viewer to familiarise yourself with the current layout and to enter the odd character; but, to be proficient, you should learn your layout to the point that KV is no longer needed.
    - Use Character Viewer to enter the odd character not available in the current keyboard layout.
    Neither Keyboard Viewer nor Character Viewer are effective tools for more extensive needs, eg, for writing and editing bilingual or multilingual texts. In such a case, you should enable the respective keyboard layouts and switch between them with a keyboard shortcut.
    A few interesting layouts bundled with Mac OS X have already been mentioned. Let me add three.
    - Dvorak: several layouts based on the Dvorak keyboard. It is claimed that the latter is more productive and lessens RSI risk.
    - US Extended: based on QWERTY, it offers a more extensive set of diacritics (eg, caron, breve) via dead keys.
    - Unicode Hex Input: also based QWERTY, it allows input by Unicode codepoint (in hexadecimal), so it's the most extensive layout of all; eg, to enter the character "Parenthesized Number Twelve" (U+247F), hold down Option, type "247f", release Option.

  • How can the IE brower display pictures in WCS?

    Hi all,
    Anyone know that how can the IE display pictures in WCS? Even I enable all field in Security and Advanced in the properties dialog of IE6.0 in Windows 2003, the picture still cannot display in the page of WCS. And the certificate issued by WCS I also have installed it to the Trusted Certificate Authority's local computer. Java runtime 1.5.0-6 also installed. I have noticed that the picture is associated with "do" file and "jsp" file.
    Anyone can help me? Thanks for helping me!

    Thanks

    Hi Mark,
    The WCS is running 4.0 version and the resolution is 1024X768, but the size I don't know that. One of the picture is the "Alarm monitor" at the corner of bottom left. This Alarm Monitor is associated with a JSP file. Thanks!
