How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

Anyone got any ideas?

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

  • How to disable auto clear feature in a text box in IE10

    How to disable auto clear button in Text box in IE10
    Hi Team,
    I saw this question on Microsoft forum but I did not find any reply to this question, therefore, I am re-posting it.
    When I run web interface application on IE10, i see there is a new feature which has 'X' at the end of text box and on clicking it it clears the text.
    Are there any settings of IE10 that can be changed to disable it or some code snippet?
    I find the 'X' sign at the end of text box very annoying and would like to turn it off and make it compatible with older versions of IE and other explorers.
    Looking forward to your answer at the earliest.
    Regards

    How to disable auto charge of iPhone via PC?

    I'm thinking you may have the concern of not overcharging or messing with charge cycles of your phone, but according to apple the Li-ion batteries in iDevices work this way for example
    -Your phone has 50% battery left, you charge it
    -after using again, you're back with 50 and charging it till full once again makes it 1 charge cycle
    Doesn't work like nickel batteries.

  • Disable Auto Align in Photomerge

    Good day.
    So far I got good reply.
    For now I wonder, can "Auto Align Selected Layers Based on Contents" be disabled during photomerge?
    Why do I want that?
    => First, most of times the auto align result is not good
    => it takes time to wait for window to appear, sometimes hangs
    => When all images are jumbled together, it is like making jigsaw puzzle.
    Actually I got used to Photoshop CS2 where I disable auto align check box...
    And I manually create the "mosaic" (not just a flat panorama) from images taken from microscope.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can turn the blending off, but I don't think that automated blending later can be done.
    As it seems that you want to do most of the work manually, have you considered just creating a new blank image of the anticipated width and height of your final composite (plus a contingency) and dragging your source files to it to put each one on a layer where you can individually move them into place?
    There is a workaround to restore the interactive layout to PSE12 - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5741182. If you don't have access to PSE11 (you need to copy some of the PSE11 files) you can download its trial from http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l. Follow their very important instructions EXACTLY or you will likely encounter authorisation errors or download the latest version instead.

  • [SOLVED] Alsa: How to disable auto-mute when plugging in headphones?

    I have a set of headphones plugged into my workstation permanently (the headphone jack is hard to reach so I don't want to plug those headphones in and out) as well as some speakers. Jack sensing works perfectly - when I unplug the headphones, the speakers are unmuted and when I plug the headphones back in the speakers are muted. Now as I said, my headphones are plugged in permanently and occasionally I want to have sound on the speakers at the same time. So far I have not found a way to have both headphones and speakers unmuted simultaneously.
    I originally thought this was a problem with Pulseaudio (I am using Cinnamon as my desktop) but when I directly go to the Alsa hw device I get exactly the same behavior. The sound chip is a built-in VIA VT1818S and aplay displays the correct cards and devices:
    $ aplay -l
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT1818S Analog [VT1818S Analog]

    I verified with "mpg123 -a hw:0,0" that I get no sound on the speakers when the headphones are plugged in and vice versa. I tried a lot of different settings with alsamixer and amixer to no avail. These are my current settings:

    If I read the Alsa kernel docs right, the VIA driver simply does not provide any option to disable auto-muting: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-ker … xt;hb=HEAD.
    I would be glad if I had misread/misunderstood something or there were any other means of achieving what I am after? All I found so far is lots of posts where auto-muting did not work but very few people seem to want the opposite. FWIW, my old installation of Ubuntu 11.10 was working fine in that regard, i.e. it probably did not support auto-muting for my hardware.
    Last edited by fax (2013-03-24 20:20:19)

    Solved, well, good enough for me anyway. In alsamixer, I enabled "Independent HP". Independent HP means that two of the six surround channels get diverted to the headphones. Alsa creates a second device, one for line out and the other one for the headphones. It is a very neat feature that is meant to allow you to e.g. do a voice call with your headphones while you play music through the speakers at the same time. I can now choose in PulseAudio whether I want output to my headphones or the speakers. It required that in /etc/pulse/default.pa, I added the line "load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,2" after this paragraph:
    ### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available
    .ifexists module-udev-detect.so
    load-module module-udev-detect
    .else
    ### Use the static hardware detection module (for systems that lack udev support)
    load-module module-detect
    .endif
    # Take Independent HP into use.
    load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,2
    All this really is a work-around for two bugs:
    Call it a bug or a missing feature, but it does not look like the Alsa snd_hda_codec_via driver allows to disable auto-muting.
    Before the change to default.pa, PulseAudio already allows me to switch between two output devices - "analog output" and "analog headphones". "Analog headphones" however does the same thing as "analog output" and plays sound on the external speakers and not the headphones. I suspect that the PulseAudio module-udev-detect detects both Alsa devices but wires them wrongly.
    The above still doesn't give me what I originally asked, i.e. sound on both speakers and headphones at the same time, but I realized that I don't really need that. I just need a way to switch on speakers occasionally while my headphones are plugged in.

  • How to Disable Auto Updates on Flash Player 10 using mms.cfg

    Hi Friends,
    I am a newbee into this.I am trying to install a customized Adobe Flash  Player 10.2.153.1 in which auto updates are disabled.  I went through the Adobe guidelines and found that it is possible to do the same using a MMS.CFG file. Can anyone tell me how exactly this would look like. I will be extremely thankful if someone can attach a sample of the same.

    No, I don't think so; these settings are stored in a different place.
    Some users have reported that AutoUpdateDisable via mms.cfg does no longer work in Flash Player 10.3.  Please check if this failure already occurs in Flash Player 10.2.

  • Disable auto-update for SYSTEM on windows

    I wrote an AIR app that is called via a php 'exec' command for my employer. This is part of an automated system where there is no user interaction. The problem is that whenever the application is run, every now and then it will open the Adobe AIR Updater, expecting user input to allow the update or cancel.
    I downloaded the AIR Settings Manager app, and it does a great job of disabling this auto-update, but ONLY for the user running the app. Is there any way to disable the auto-updates for SYSTEM?

    Hi Ozzy,
    Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\AIR\UpdateDisabled to 1 will disable runtime updates for ALL users.  Adding the file%APPDATA%\Adobe\AIR\updateDisabled will disable updates on a PER user basis.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • How to disable auto effects?

    When I place a clip on the timeline the effects automitcally apples on every clip i place. I have lost all hopes to figure out myself how to disable it. No help menu provide answers, and anywhere in the menu system i look without success. It really slows down project drastically. Anyone can give me any clue greatly appreciated. 

    I don't know how this is possible, Erik. I've never heard of this happening.
    If you go to Edit/Preferences/General and check Show All Do Not Show Messages and then add a clip to your timeline, does the Smart Fix window pop up?
    Try starting the program up while holding down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys on the left side of your keyboard. This can sometimes clear out corruptions.
    If this is still happening, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the program. Something is serious screwed up.
