How do you force source formatting to leave blank lines in CS6?

I inherited some code with paragraph breaks between some lines so that there's a blank line between two lines of code.  When I Apply Source Formatting, the original blank lines remains, but when I insert a blank line & then Apply Source Formatting, the blank lines I inserted disappear.
I showed the hidden characters and found that on the lines that remain blank, there are 4 spaces & a paragraph marker.  When insert the same thing, source formatting still removes my blank lines, but keeps the ones that someone else inserted (while not using DW) by adding 4 spaces & a paragraph marker.
Is this behavior due to opening a file that was created outside of DW?  Is there anyway to get source formatting to leave my inserted blank lines alone?
Thanks!

That worked: I want to be able to preserve blank lines when I apply source formatting, not get rid of them.  I copied the lines that didn't disappear & they were also preserved wherever I copied them in my doc. 
It would be nice to know what that hidden character is that prevents the blank line from being removed, but I guess I can't tell with DW.

  • How do you force itunes comments to ID3 tags in MP3 files?

    I have comments all throughout itunes. The mp3 files do not have those comments in the ID3 info.
    How do you force itunes comments to write out to ID3 tags in MP3 files?
    The folder and files all have write permission.

    Yeah, don't do that, you probably also degrade the sound quality... If you've confirmed it is something odd with multiple tags try this.
    Select a group of mp3 files (You might want to start with a smart playlist so you don't mess with any other format)
    Right-click and use Convert ID3 Tags > None (may need to repeat this step if multiple tags)
    Then right-click and use Convert ID3 Tags > v2.3 (v2.4 support still patchy from various accounts)
    Downside is that it will lose any embedded artwork, but it should preserve all other meta-data, both tag-based and stored within the library itself.
    In fact, if you use my CreateFolderArt script before and after updating the tags it should archive any artwork as a local Folder.jpg image for each album and then reinsert that image on the subsequent run... Check it out on a single album first. If it doesn't work as expected let me know and I'll tweak the script to achieve this end.

  • How do you add a format to the "Date Picker Format Mask" available formats?

    Hi,
    When I select the Date Picker Format Mask or "Number / Date Format" they doen't have YYYYMMDD or others that may be desired...
    How do you add a format to the available formats?
    Thank you, Bill

    Bill - From the popup help text:
    If you need to create a Date Picker item, but the format you need does not appear in the Display As list, select Date Picker (use application format mask). When an application uses this type of date picker, the Application Express engine derives the date format from an item named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK. You can populate this item in two ways:
    - By defining an application substitution string named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK
    - By creating an application-level item named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK
    See the doc for more details.

    How do you load EXS24 format files into the EXS24 sampler? the only format I can load directly is aiff and wav. can't find any posts addressing this question? please help

    You don't load them in, you need to put them in:

    Restart Logic if it's running, they will then appear in the EXS library.

  • How do you force LR to start in 64 bit?

    How do you force LR to start in 64 bit?
    I have Windows 7 64-bit and also downloaded LR 64 bit. But I don't see "x64" in the LR title bar. http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/optimize-performance-lightroom.html
    Can you force LR to start in 64 bit mode?

    The Lightroom Installer has both 64bit and 32bit included and should automatically install the correct version. I can think of two ways to see which one is installed on your system. a. Click on the Start button and look under All Programs and it should show what version is installed. b. From the Lightroom main menu bar click Help > System Info and the dialog box that pops will display the details of your system and the software running i.e Lightroom.

  • Wireless Mesh topology parent child optimization. How do you force a reconfig?

    Release 6 controller
    9 Mesh APs. 1524 (2x 5G radios, 1x 2.4G)  and 1522 (1x 5G radios, 1x 2.4G)
    Designed for 3 linear hops and then a split to the rest.
    AP1 = Root AP
    linear to
    AP2
    Linear to
    AP3
    Linear to
    AP4
    equidistant to
    AP5 and AP6
    The rest are further away from AP4, but have visibility back to AP 4
    The issue is after an event (say a power outage) at AP4.
    AP5 uses AP3 as it's parent.
    That's okay during the power failure, but when AP4 comes back up, I want to force AP5 to switch it's parent to AP4.
    You may ask why, if AP5 can reach AP3 okay, it's okay to leave it that way.
    Well, doing link tests...
    test   --------packet loss %-----
    speed  AP3toAP5 AP3toAP4  AP5-AP4
    =====  =======  =======   =======
    54M     100        0         0
    48M     100        0         0
    36M      52.6      0         0
    24M       1.44     0         0
    18M       0.89     0         0
    So you can see it's desireable now that AP5 uses AP4 as it's parent.
    Over time, the system might figure it out, but our limited experience shows it seems to stick to the way it is.
    To complicate matters, sometimes we've found that it doesn't seem to reconfigure when the channel number has changed so AP5 can reach AP3, but AP4 (1524) comes up with a different channel on it's downlink radio.
    So, how can we force a mesh topology reevaluation/change for either 1 AP or the whole bridge group?
    I thought changing the bridge speed from "auto" to 54M (on AP3 above, for example) might force the attached children to rethink it, but it didn't seem to work (maybe I needed to wait an hour?).
    I also thought tweaks to "Radio Performance Profile" for radio might help. (not sure what to change, or how long to wait for a result)
    suggestions on how to quickly reconverge?
    reseting APs and hoping they come back in a better topology is painful and slow.
    Thanks - Glen

    Glen, I know this is a very old topic but we are suffering from similar conditions on our end.  Even using directional antennas we are having a difficult time having the Mesh network consistently optimize itself.  Did you guys ever find a tweak that worked for you to have the system re-evaluate the connection by packet loss on speed?
    Thanks!

    You can install Perian, or otherwise download and use VLC Player or MPEG Streamclip, all free programs. Installing Perian (which is now open source) and Flip4Mac will enable you to play many other formats of Movies through Quicktime, which I still believe is superior to the other players as it has very powerful editing tools and can do a lot more than just play movies. For just load and play, try VLC player or MPEG Streamclip which again can handle more unusual formats besides the usual ones.
    Cheers

  • How do you force quit an import

  • When slides are updated within a MS Sharepoint slide library, how can you force an alert with the updated slide version going to users who have previous slide versions on their hard drive?

     How can you hardcode/force that when a slide within a slide library (in Sharepoint 2010) is updated, that an alert is sent to the user who downloaded the slide to their hard drive so that they may replace the outdated slide with the recently
    updated slide. There is a tic box option to set when downloading slides from a sharepoint slide library into power point that ensures alerts are sent when the presentation is opened allowing for replacement of the slide. But, it is an option. How can that
    be hardcoded are forced on all slide library users who download slides from the shrepoint library into power point? Is there a workflow that can be written in Sharepoint or an option in power point to do this? Please advise. Thanks.

    Two things to check:
    Add the network folder location as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings and then see if the videos will play.
    If the first suggestion doesn't work, get in touch with your network admin dudes and find out if FLV files are disabled from working over the network from that location.  Many times unless a given file format is enabled on a network, the server assumes it's not desirable and won't serve it.

  • How do you FORCE FCPx to re-render a clip?

    here's the problem.
    Final Cut Pro X FREQUENTLY screws up transition renders. Did I say FREQUENTLY? It CANNOT be stressed enough, that FCPx DOES SOMETHING BAD to its transition renders Quite Often.
    ok, until Apple fixes that nightmare, I want a workaround. I thought I had it:
    if you hit control+r you tell FCPx to 'render selection.'  its right there in the menu.
    but its a lie. what it SHOULD read in the menu is: 'render selection, if it is not already marked as having been rendered.'  This is a problem for me, because FCPx FREQUENTLY SCREWS UP TRANSITION RENDERS*.
    *ok, I think I've said it enough, time for an example:
    imagine a crossfade, standard, stock crossfade, using the standard timing... EVERYTHING is standard. Well, How would you feel if you were scrubbing an otherwise perfect edit... to find that your crossfades... ALL OF THEM... pop the resulting image, into the first frame of the transition? I bet you'd be mad.
    How would you feel if you HAD NO RELIABLE WAY TO FORCE FCPx TO RE-RENDER THOSE TRANSITIONS?  You'd be livid. Lets put some more firewood on here... How would you feel if this happened randomly, all the time?  I really do mean ALL THE TIME. I can scarcely look at FCPx without it screwing up the transitions of my edit.
    point is. FCPx has a wonderful editor. its a joy to use. But its chock FULL of bugs, and its so SMUG that it doesn't provide ANY workarounds. The Documentation is a joke. So I'm here... trying to find a way To FORCE FCPx to re-render something IT thinks is already rendered. the smug jerk.

    OP here.
    I'd like to make a few comments.
    Apple has been slowly fixing critical bugs in FCPx, I'm happy with the direction things are headed. But we still have a long way to go.
    the "delete Project Render Files" option is a late edition, and I "think" it is meant to address this specific issue. I find however that in practice, it introduces as many problems as it solves. deleting the project render files forces a re-render on the entire timeline, and as stated way back in the OP, FCPX screws up transition renders. 
    Let me dig into that a little bit. Randomly, FCPx will cut out the first frame of a transiton, creating a jarring full frame jump (as it skips to the second frame) just at the front of a transition, and fill the last frame with black. All I want to do at this maddening point is force FCPX to re-render specific parts of the show, one at a time, because if I ask it to render the other stuff, invariably I will be subjected to the same amount of render bugs I am trying to eliminate. (or more) FCPX does this randomly, so if I can force it to re-render only a specific segment, there's a chance it won't render that bit incorrectly. And with finite control, I can step through and fix each transition, forcing as many re-renders as necessary, always getting closer to done, rather than starting from scratch at every step.
    so, the tip is appreciated, it just doesn't answer my needs. I like FCPX, and sometimes its a dream but it is still riddled with critical bugs and the lack of percision control over the system is a design flaw, IMHO.
