How to control ordering/sorting of re-minimized windows in dock

Here's a dock behavior that has annoyed me for a long time: when you access a minimized window from the dock and then minimize it again, the window gets placed at the end of the dock rather than at the slot where it came from. As I collect minimized windows in the dock, I get used to where they are, only to have them shuffled around upon re-minimization. Maybe it's the librarian in me that wants to put the book back on the shelf exactly in call-number order.
I did my best to search this forum for other postings related to this behavior, but I didn't come up with anything. Does anyone out there know if this dock behavior can be changed?
Thanks!

After minimizing the window again, you can click on it and drag it to a different slot in the right-hand side of the Dock. You can also drag a window to a different slot in the Dock as it's being minimized, but you may not be fast enough to do this unless you hold down the Shift key while minimizing it, which slows down the process.

How to control photo sort order in flickr publish folder

Using LR 5.3 and trying to control the sort order of photos in a Publish folder (Flickr). When I drag-and-drop the photos, they never end up in the location indicated by the dark black bar that appears under the mouse cursor. Usually appear within 5 or 6 places of the dropped location, but sometimes up to 20 places away from the dropped location. Futzing with the location sometimes gets them closer, but not always. It's very frustrating. I've seen comments about certain restrictions for manual sorting (e.g. not feasible in Smart Collections), but no specific reference to sorting in a Publish service. Is there a way to put the photos into the exact order that I want in a Flickr Publish folder? (Note: drag and drop does not work correctly... that's the problem).

Click the Action icon > show view options > Arrange by none > sort by name.

How can I stop Firefox from restoring minimized windows when I open a new Firefox instance?

Say I have 10 Firefox windows minimized. When I start a new instance of Firefox, all the minimized windows are restored! Then I must manually minimize them all over again. How can I stop this behavior?
Firefox 3.6.10, Windows 7

Did you perform the fixes from the "Preferences not saved" article?
Try to delete or rename/move the prefs.js file and other possible prefs-##.js with a number and user.js files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder

Make sure that Firefox isn't running when you delete files in the profile folder.

How to Control the Sorting Order of iPhone Contacts from Outlook?

In a series of editing steps we've loaded ca. 1,900 personal and business contacts from Outlook into a 1st gen iPhone with 2.0.1 software on it. To our surprise we found that while most of the entries were listed and sorted by company, certain entries were listed and sorted by the person's name. It looked random and there didn't seem to be any way to control it on the iPhone.
While troubleshooting the problem we synced up the iPhone with an empty Address Book on a MacBook Pro and found that the sort order flag was indeed set differently on these entries. When we changed the sorting flag of a contact in the Mac's Address Book to "Company" it also changed on the iPhone after the next sync.
Problem: In our business environment it is impossible to switch to Macs for contact administration. We need to do it from Outlook. This is one of several features needed for the adoption of iPhones.
Question: Is there a way to control this flag on the individual iPhone contact entries from Outlook Contacts?

Well, I think we figured it out.
Outlook doesn't offer a sorting flag on person or company name. Instead it uses a separate "File As" string. The problem with our contacts was that this "File As" string was frequently edited to be something else than exactly the personal or company name, e.g. it was set to an abbreviated company name. Once we set the "File As" to any of the defaults offered, i.e. person or company name, the sorting flag in iPhone was properly set through the synchronization.
Obviously, the application logic compares the content of these fields in Outlook and decides how to set the flag. If it can't find the company name in "File As" it defaults to person.
This was an expensive holdup for us. It cost us 2 man days to figure it out. Is there any place where such application logic is described?

How to control order of Category Indexing in Baseline Update

Hi,
I want to run baseline update to index the category. By default the indexing is happening in alphabatical order. How do I control this order.
I am using 2 apps to support english and french language and I want to maintain same order of catalog indexing. Due to OOB alphabatical indexing the order of categories in website is getting changed for different locales.
I tried to discover usage of property-accessor="/atg/endeca/index/commerce/accessor/DisplayOrderPropertyAccessor" but could not get any solution.

How to control Order/Target Quantity with reference to Contract Quantity

Hello GURUs,
In my current organization, there is one scenario in which i have to control target quantity in sales contract e.g., i have created sales contract of 100 MT (contract no : 123), and with reference to that contract i have created another contract for say 100 MT (contract no : 456), after that i have changed quantity (of contract no 456) to 150 from original quantity 100. In this case system allows to do so, which is not correct, and i want same to be control based original contract quantity.
Is there any solution in standard system to control the same? If there is any then pleas let me know.
Thanks,
Pratik

Hello,
Let me clarify your requirement:
You have created Contract no. 456 (100 MT) with reference to another Contract No. 123 (100 MT).
Now you want that system should not allow to change quantity in Contract no. 456 & keep it as it is (100 MT) in Original Contract No. 123.
Now, if the above requirment is from Sales Order created with reference to Contract then it can be easily don thru Item Category Controls.
But as the second COntract (456) is entirely a new Contract with it own contral parameters (validity dates, etc) system will allow you to change Quantity & other feilds).
You requirment is not standard & will have be achieved thru applying a User Exit. Speak to your ABAPer & he would do the needful .
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

How to control an existing GUI utility on Windows

Hi All,
I would like to schedule the control of a simple GUI utility on Windows XP that has only a Start/Stop button but no API. The effect is like clicking the Start/Stop button with a mouse.
Any ideas on how this could be done?
Thanks,
Jack

Hi Encephalopathic,
Thanks for your suggestion. Apologies for not having respond sooner.
I prefer not to use other languages/scripts outside of Java, if possible. A friend made the following suggestion but I haven't tried out due to lack of knowledge in writing Java Applet:
Write a java applet with a while/for loop that continuously loop on the condition that the status flag is set to start. The loop will monitor the button press status for the stop condition.
In between the loop it would just do the checking of the time and fire the function when it reaches that time.
Does this sound like a workable Java solution?
Thanks again,
Jack

How to control font size in express vi windows popups?

My Windows XP user interface uses many popup messages generated by the "Display Msg" express vi. Is there a way to customize the appearance of those popups, e.g. larger font?

If I'm correct you can change any express VI into normal (static) VI's.
Open the front panel of the pop-up VI and select the text, now change the font from system into something different.

How to force safari to open a new window when dock icon is clicked

If Safari is already running on my MacBook Yosemite, and I click on the Safari icon in the dock, the Safari window is brought forward. The behavior I want is whenever I click the safari icon on the dock, is that a new safari browser window is opened. I don't see this option in preferences (or any keyboard mouse combination) that would make the dock icon open a new browser window. (an option is available for new windows if you click on a hyperlink, but not if you click on the dock icon) .
p.s. And I don't want to first have to place focus on the current running safari and then click File New...too many steps when all I want is a new browser window
Thanks in advance

Hi css,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to click on Safari in your Dock and have it open a new Safari Window. As you said in your post, clicking on Safari in the Dock brings the Safari window forward. There are a couple of possibilities to help resolve this situation. You can control-click (right click if enabled) on Safari in your Dock which will give you the option to open a new window. You can also click and hold on Safari, otherwise known as Press, to display these same options.
Mac OS X: Additional features of the Dock - Apple Support
Mouse clicks and key combinations for the Dock
Control-click
Reveals contextual menu for item. Menu choices vary per application or file. When used on Dock separator, it reveals Dock preferences. There you can turn magnification and hiding on or off, change the position of the Dock on screen, and change the minimization effect. Choose Dock Preferences to see more options.

Keystroke/Shortcut to 'Open' Minimized Window From Dock

Is there a keystroke/keyboard command I can't seem to find to 'open' a window of an open application from the dock?

There's no command for that. However, you can customize keyboard commands by going into System Preferences. "Command-M" is the command to minimize a window when it's open.

Missing minimized windows in Mission Control

Mission Control - in general - is something I like most about the new Mac OS Lion. But there is one thing missing:
since Mission Control attempts to give a total view of all desktops and all windows inside them or generally an overview of everything currently running, the minimized windows should definitely be part of Mission Control.
Since the minimized windows do not belong to a cerstain desktop, there should be a nice horizontal line at the bottom of the Mission Control overview and all the minimized windows under this line.
What do you think of it?

App Expose is fine if you knew the window you were looking for was minimized, instead of hidden behind another window.
Also you need to be in that app to bring up its minimised windows - which is irritating if you are using more than one app to manipulate files.
Consider this: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

MDO select query: how to control sort order using parameter

Hi experts, is there a way of controling the sort order of an MDO select query using some parameter?
I was thinking about using some statement like CASE [Param.1] WHEN 'abc' THEN [ORDER_NO]...END in sort section of the query but it is not working.
Of course I colud go for various select queries...but I am wondering if it can be done using only one?
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help

Hi Marco,
Yes this can be achieved dynamically using SortExpr under dynamic link assignment in MDOAction block if you are using a transaction to call it.
Please check below thread:
Re: MDO Query Action Block In MII Transaction
Or else, this [Param.1] thing should work as well provided it doesn't get the logic part in it, just pass the columns names separated by comma. Haven't tried it though, will check it for you.

HOW TO CONTROL ON CREATION OF SALES ORDER WITH REFERENCE TO EARLIER SO?

If you dont want allow create a sales order in referent to other one, just delete the copy control between these sales order type, so when the user tries to create a SO in reference to other one a message is displayed that is not possible.
Thanks,
Mariano.

HT2470 Why does this not explain how to change the sort order?

Why does this (i.e. support at Apple.com) not explain how to change the sort order? I can "arrange" by Date Modified for example but it won't let me switch to use most recent dates first. Also, what is Apple-speak for arrange versus sort anyway? It seems I used to be able to click on a column heading in finder and get a drop down arrow allowing me to change the sort sequence.

Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.
I've submitted an Enhancement Request to allow choosing sort direction from the Arrange/Sort menu, but I haven't ever gotten a response, which is good and bad. Good because they will often respond that they have considered it and don't plan on implementing. Bad in that they've haven't implemented it.

How to see hidden apps & minimized windows in Mission Control?

Does anyone know how to configure Mission Control so that I can see hidden apps and minimized windows?
Thanks in advance for your help.

YES . you get it.
Not thing to apologize. you don;t do anything wrong. sorry about my word i'm not good in english.

by your answer that is ok. The window will go to stay on Dock by click in >System Preference >Dock > Uncheck Minimize windows into application.
but someone (me and topick owner Jmayorperes) we check in minimize window to application icon . because i want a static Dock . dont want many icon on Dock when i minimize.

That why we try to get it back . it just change by apple. maybe it good for people who use touchpad or andything i don't know.
but for me it difference. and have to change behavior hope it come back in next update
