How do i customize the way i view files in finder?

OK so i realize I can click on the icons in the upper eft corner to change from cover flow to list view etc but when you do that it becomes the default view no matter what folder you open. I am a recent windows convert and in windows you can have list view for one folder and thumbnail view in another and it remembers. The problem I have with a single default view is that if Ichange to cover flow to view photos and then open a folder that is just a list of documents I hav to switch back each time I go form one to the other. I also get an error message telling me you cant view documents this way. Is there some way to set a different default view for each folder?

As a recent convert I'd recommend book marking and using the following links. They're really invaluable for recent switchers.
BTW welcome to the light side!

Customize the Activity Clipboard view ?

Hi,
We want to customize the Activity Clipboard view (change the headers and the order of the columns ..)
In the BSP_WD_CMPWB transaction, if we choose the UICMP_ACC_CLIP component , the view is not configurable ..
Is this the right component ? Is there another way to proceed ??
Thanks in advance for your help !!
Regards,
Nabil

Hi Nabil,
Last week I came across this tranasction: IMG --> Interaction Center Webclient --> Basic Functions --> Define Activity Clipboard Profiles.
Here you can select "Profile Definition" and then DEFAULT_IC, if you select "details" you can enter the amount of colums and Headers. I haven't actually tried it and I'm not sure how it works exactly, but maybe you can give it a try.
Hope it helps,
Regards Alex

How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP?

How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP? When I right click on the menu bar the "Customize..." option is there but it does absolutely nothing.
Which brings me to the rhetorical question as to why it was necessary to shuffle everything around, was it broken? Did it not work? Since 2006 I've moved my mouse pointer almost instinctively to the left side of the screen, now all of a sudden I have to go right, is there a point?
This is like supermarkets that as soon as you have figured out where everything is, they shuffle everything around and now you are stuck in mystery shopping. At least they have economic reasons. Meanwhile Firefox seems disposed to make itself look more like Chrome, but hey if I wanted Chrome I'd get it.

Nope... Thanks, but Safe Mode does not do the trick. Oh sure you can move the buttons around and rearrange things to your liking, unfortunately it does not stay that way once you get out of Safe Mode.
I guess if you use an XP machine you are doomed to use FF's interpretation of what it should look like, which is ass backwards from what it has been for the past FIVE YEARS!!! Why not? It seems XP users are now the Freddo's of computing.
Someone should go to you developer's homes move everything around, forks in the basement, beds in the bathroom, TV up in the attic with the mice, dining table outside on the porch, see how you like it.

How do i customize the "tile" on the first page of Wiki Server 4 on OS X Server?

How do i customize the "tile" on the first page of Wiki Server 4 on OS X Server?
The title says "OS X Server" and i want it to say something else... How can i do that?

Ok... i did some digging around... and struck gold.
The digging part is not for the "faint of heart" since the Terminal is your best friend and some coding knowledge is involved. Suffice to say my trip in Wiki Server 4 land led me through Ruby on Rails code. I was surprised to find that i'm able to read ruby code, and i don't know Ruby at all. After looking through Model Views and Controllers i figured out the solution was simpler than i anticipated.
To modify the title on the first page you need to edit a .strings file. You need to use the download version (not the mac app store app) of TextWrangler or some other editor that allows Authenticated Saves (save files as other users). Make sure the Wiki service is off... the slider in the server app is off.
The location of the file depends on your language locale that you use:
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/collabd/coreclient/locale s/en.lproj
where "en" can be either de, es, fr, it, ja, ko, nl, zh_CN, zh_TW depending on your wiki language.
First()you need to right click on the file and "Get Info" and adjust the permissions temporarily for "Everyone" to "Read and Write".
Open the file in TextWrangler and find the key general.os_x_server and under it you can modify the string "OS X Server" to anything you want "My own company Wiki".
Save()the file.
Second()you need to right click on the file and "Get Info" and adjust the permissions temporarily for "Everyone" back to just "Read".
Move()the slider in the Server App to On again for the wiki.
Enjoy!!!

How Do I Customize the Key Combination to Cycle Through Windows in Reverse in all Applications?

How do I customize the key combination to cycle through windows in reverse in all applications? I want to be able to change the global setting for Command+~ (Cmd+Shft+`) to something more desireable. I could NOT find a way to do this in Systems Preference -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts since there is not a menu selection "Cycle Through Windows in Reverse". I then went and looked in the plists DBs of Finders resources hoping to find a setting I could override. I was quite supprised, as well as some of the MAC gurus in the office, that there was not an easier way to override cycling through windows in reverse on a MacBook - the most user friendly and accessibility aware computer on the market:)
Here is my MAC software info.
System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.7 (10J869)
Kernel Version: Darwin 10.7.0

I don't know of any way to have a separate commandkey combo for the reverse cycle function.
From the Help pages for OS X 10.6.7 ("Using global keyboard shortcuts") -
NOTE: You can create keyboard shortcuts only for exisiting menu commands.
Since the 'reverse' cycle command is not an existing menu item, creating a separate key combo for it doesn't seem possible. Apparently the 'reverse' cycle command is a fixed one, internally defined as a mod of the normal cycle command invoked by adding Shift to its key combo.
There may be a way to achieve what you want via a two-step process: write an AppleScript that will invoke the 'reverse' key-combo set, then link the activation of the AppleScript to a key combo of your choosing. Not sure if this is even possible, though - usually AppleScript activation via keyboard would be set up via an FKey.
I can understand wanting to share the RSI risk evenly between both hands, or even to unload the left hand if that is desirable. However, apparently a two-key combo can't be done for the reverse cycle function. Is a three-key combo not possible? ...meaning a two-key combo on the right (Command plus something) for normal cycling, adding Shift for reversing?
One caution about changing keyboard command combos - it's very easy to accidentally set up a conflict with a another existing commandkey set. FWIW, most, if not all, of the mnemonic and easily-reached letters are already used. In this vein, the Keyboard Shortcuts page of the Keyboard prefs pane shows such conflicts via a yellow caution triangle next to the conflictors.

How can I customize the skin of my AIR app

Hi all,
I have created an AIR app from my RoboHelp v7 WebHelp.
Works and looks quite nice. Great. It's just that it did not use the WebHelp skin I created. It uses some default skin.
How can I customize the skin of my AIR app? When I run the RH Packager for Adobe AIR, I get a dlg box come up, called, "General Options - RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR" and it offers me a few default skins, but it does not offer me the skin I made for my WebHelp.
I also heard that if you learn FLEX you might be able to change the skins.
TIA

Heya,
In order to change it alle just set it up as ordinary html webpage so heres and example of css:
style.css - In the main directory of your app.
body {
     margin:0;
     padding:0;
#wrap {
     margin:0;
     padding:0;
     text-aling:left;
#header {
     padding:2px;
     background:#000;
     color:#fff;
#content {
     padding:1em;
     margin:0;
     background:#ccc;
#footer {
     padding:2px;
     background:#000;
     color:#fff;
Now for the html file:
<html>
     <head>
          <title>My App</title>
          <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" />
          // Scripts go here
     </head>
     <body>
          <div id="wrap">
               <div id="header">
                    My Application title
               </div>
               <div id="content">
                    bla bla bla lorem lipsum.
               </div>
               <div id="footer">
                    Copyright'n stuff
               </div>
          </div>
     </body>
</html>
If you need more help or examples I recomend that you go here and read some stuff on a lot of it all , you can also download theese samples it contains a lot of good stuff which makes it all A LOT easier to understand, the way I learnt most of what I know even though I am still missing some things.
Hope it helped!

Need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through

Hi, I need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through adpatch.
In patch 1, we have a mv with build mode immediate. When applying it PTS hang due to pool performance of mv refresh.
So we provide patch 2, with that mv build mode deferred, hoping it'll go through. But patch 2 hang too on the same mv.
How does this work? Is that because mv already exists in the database with build immediate, patch 2 will force it to refresh first before changing build mode? How to get over this?
Thanks,
Wei

Hi Hussein,
Thank you for the response.
Application release is 11.5.10.
Patch 1 is MSC11510: 8639586 ASCP ENGINE RUP#38 PATCH FOR 11.5.10 BRANCH
Patch 2 is MSC11510: 9001833 APCC MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV WORKER IS STUCK ON "DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READ" 12 HOURS
The MV is APPS.MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV
This happens at customer environment but not reproducable in our internal environment, as our testing data is much smaller.
Taking closer look in the logs, I saw actually when applying both patch 1 and patch 2, MV doesn't exist in the database. So seems my previous assumption is wrong. Still, strange that patch 2 contains only one file which is the MV.xdf, it took 7 hours and finally got killed.

How can I customize the stylesheet of webdynpro applications?

Hello experts,
how can I customize the Look & Feel (e.g. background color) of webdynpro applications?
I refer e.g. to UWL which is opened by a task link in an email and opens as as webdynpro application in a separate window. It appears in the typical SAP blue. I would like to change the color.
The portal´s customization does not affect webdynpro applications.
Thanks in advance for any hint.

Hi Avi
Yep, that's what you get with AIR output. You have to live
with the skins the AIR layout provides. I suppose if you are a FLEX
developer you might be able to change the skins. But it is what it
is.
You might consider submitting a Wish Form to ask the
development team to allow us more flexibility with AIR skins. Or to
even create a way for the AIR app to use elements of the WebHelp
skins.

How can I customize the navigation bar in Firefox 29? I would like to have the refresh/stop button back in front of the navigation bar!

There isn't a built in way to do that since all the navigation toolbars are on one toolbar.

FAQ: Revel Transition basics: How does this affect the way I use my Adobe software?

Q: How will this change the way I use my Elements software?
A: Once you have migrated your files from Photoshop.com to Revel, it will be no longer be possible to sync your photo and video files between your Photoshop Elements Organizer and Photoshop.com.
If you're using Photoshop Elements 11, you can share your JPEGs from the Elements Organizer to AdobeRevel.com.
If you’re using Photoshop Elements 10 or earlier version, you won’t be able to directly import from Revel or export to Revel.
Q: How will this change the way I use Photoshop.com?
A: Photoshop.com accounts will be remain accessible until the end of the transition period CLICK HERE to see dates and details, but once we begin moving your photos to Revel you will no longer be able to upload photos to your Photoshop.com account.
After the transition period CLICK HERE to see dates and details, all Photoshop.com accounts will be closed. The Photoshop.com website will remain live and continue to offer product information, trial software downloads, photo editing functionality, customer spotlights, tutorials, and other resources.

The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.

iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.

How do I customize the login page?

Hi, floks:
How do I customize the login page?
Can I just create a page with login portlet in it? what do I put as on Success URL,
if I choose to go to the home page?
thanks.
null

You can create a page and add a login portlet to it.Make it accesible to public.
change the default page of the user "public" to the page you have created.(by default it is WELCOME)
if there is an error in the user name or the password entered the portal still navigates to the default single-sign on page.(You have not changed the sign on page still)
To change this page look at on-line help.
search with string "customize" in online help

How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?

How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?
I have seen this question asked previously and it seems there is no answer.
I know that one can change each individual web page (that reset defaults back to 100%) and, alternatively and apparently one can load an add-on to fix the default size at Full Zoom.
... But any hints on how to achieve a DEFAULT 125% zoom would be much appreciated.

Press CTRL + 0
Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
[[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
[[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)
