How to make F9, Shift+F9, F10, Shift-F10 etc. work in FCP?

I'm showing my Mac newness here, (only 1.5 years using Macs) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to use the editing shortcut keys (F9, F10, etc.) in Final Cut. They always perform the System shortcuts, not the Application shortcuts.
I've tried following the directions in the FC manual, and nothing changes; still activates the system shortcuts.
It would be great to be able to press Shift+F9 and have it insert with transition, but sadly, I'm "stuck" with drag&drop.
Any suggestions?

Thanks. It turns out (on my Mac at least) that just "unchecking" those keys doesn't do anything. (Maybe I should have rebooted???) Anyway, reprogramming the F11 and F12 keys and and freeing up the F9 and F10 keys seems to have made it work. Thanks for the tip.

  • How to make capslock not sticky (like shift)?

    I am create custom layout (see TN2056), which has numpad under right hand (o - 9, i - 8, u - 7, l - 6, k - 5, etc.) and which available when capslock is enabled. But I want so that capslock mode is activated only when capslock key is down and deactivated when capslock key is up (similar shift, command, etc.), because it is more comfortably for me. Is it possible?

    P.S.: maybe it is possibly by the use of AppleScript, shell, etc.?

  • How to make my old file info panel from photoshop work in xmp

    Help. Not a photoshop guy but rather a genealogist. Many years ago downloaded a custom file info panel for photoshop which I used to enter meta text about the family photos I scanned. Currently using adobe creative cloud but cant figure out how to use panel or see most of my metatext last few version. Below is information about the panel. All I really want to do is install my panel and get back to genealogy. I apologize but not sure I need to understand the basics of photoshop..

    Genealogy Photo (Private Collection) Custom File Info Panel 1.0 for Photoshop. 11 FEB 2007
    Developed by Ron Reiger [email protected]
    Please contact me to suggest improvements.
    1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
    3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
    4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    The Custom File Info Panel is used to capture metadata about a genealogy/family history photo that is privately held (that is, the photo is not in the possession of a library). The metadata property names on the File Info Panel are based on my interpretation of the recommended primary citation for a photograph (private possession) (annotated, with provenance) as described on page 95 of Elizabeth Shown Mill's "Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian" and on my interpretation of recommended primary citation for an Electronic File (Image from Private Files - Annotated), Mills, "Citation!", page 81. I added a few more property names for location and date the photo was taken and keywords (to ID people by number rather than by name), the name of the person who provided the description, a surety for their description, and an informal description. Each field is discussed below.
    2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
    Date Scanned: This is the date the photo was scanned. Date is populated by Photoshop and is not editable.
    Provider: The owner of the photo as of the date it was scanned. A researcher in a future generations will know who had the photo at a particular point in time.
    Provenance: Describe as best you can how the photo got from the person in the photo to the Provider.
    Description Provided By: List the person who identified the people and location in the image.
    Description Surety: (This is an open text field. You can use any surety rating system you want.) Describe or rate the quality of the Description of the image's people and location. Note any uncertainties regarding any particular people in the photo.
    Complete Subject Description: List the full name of each individual in the image, in order. You may want to list the location and date of the image even though there are separate property names for that data.
    Informal Subject Description: An optional non-genealogical description of the image, perhaps for using the photo outside of genealogy. Example Informal Subject Description: "Grandpa as a young man."
    Media Description: Describe the paper photo you scanned. Dimensions, border, frame, damage, etc. Your ancestors will have an easier time finding the paper photo later if you describe it well!
    Annotations: Copy any annotations on the front or back of the photo and frame. Transcribe any photographer embossing/imprint; this is a clue for dating/locating photos.
    Special Editing/Alterations: Describe any restoration you performed on the digital image. Did you correct for the lateral reverse of a tintype or daguerreotype?
    City/County: List the City/County where the image was taken.
    State: List the State where the image was taken.
    Country: List the County where the image was taken.
    Photo Date: List the date the image was taken.
    Keywords: This is the standard keyword entry. Commas or semicolons can be used to separate keywords. I type the TMG ID number of each person in the photo here so I can search for all photos of the person without typing their name.
    3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
    I have not created a working namespace URI or rdf ala http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ for this panel. I have not created localization dictionary files for this panel. Data entered into the panel will appear in Adobe Bridge. As you can see below I re-used lots of pre-existing property names and dumped all my new property names into the photoshop namespace. I don't know if this approach has drawbacks.
    Date Scanned:                xmp_path: 'CreateDate'   Pre-existing property name
    Provider:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Credit'    Pre-existing property name
    Provenance:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Provenance'
    Description Provided By:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionProvidedBy'  Pre-existing property name
    Description Surety:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionSurety'
    Complete Subject Description:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Description'   Pre-existing property name
    Informal Subject Description:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Caption'   Pre-existing property name
    Media Description:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'MediaDescription'
    Annotations:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Annotations'
    Special Editing/Alterations:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'SpecialEditing'
    City/County:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'City'    Pre-existing property name
    State:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'State'    Pre-existing property name
    Country:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Country'   Pre-existing property name
    Photo Date:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DateCreated'   Pre-existing property name
    Keywords:               xmp_path: 'Keywords'   Pre-existing property name
    4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    I have tested this panel with Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge CS2 only.  It may not work on earlier versions.  FWIW a malformed Custom File Info Panel will fail to load in File Info; it won't crash Photoshop.
    The following was taken from "XMP Custom Panels," Adobe, Oct 2003.
    Each time an Adobe application opens the File Info dialog, it scans all the files in these directories and appends them to the file list. If more than one of the description files has
    the same panel name, the one found in the last file to be loaded is added, and others are ignored.
    Changes to the contents of the directories do not require you to reload an application; changes are automatically reflected in the dialog the next time it is opened.
    The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Creative Suite applications:
    Mac OS X
    {Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
    {Home Directory}/Library/Application/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
    Windows
    \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
    \Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
    The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or 6.0:
    Mac OS X
    {Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
    {Home Directory}/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
    Windows
    \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\\Custom File Info Panels

  • How to make sure, on success action 'Open another project' works on both ipad and desktop devices

    If I have a project with a open another project in a new window action set to a button in that project, will only placing the swf and htm files of the newly opened project within the published folder of the parent project be enough for allowing the parent project to be played successfully both in desktop and mobile devices like ipad? To allow this, I presume multiscreen.html file located within the published folder of the parent project is the file to be used. But, since swf files can't be played on mobile devices, do I need to place the multiscreen.html file located within the published folder of the newly opened project into the published folder location of the parent project? The parent project folder location already has multiscreen.html file specific to that project and if the multiscreen.html file of the newly opened project need to be added to the published folder location of the parent project(which also has multiscreen.html file), how do I go about doing this? Can I just rename the mulscreen.html file of the newly opened project to say something different like multiscreen1.html and add this file along with the swf and htm file into the published folder location of the parent project, so that it works for both desktop or mobile devices.

    From what I'm hearing, you're probably wise to have a copy of the file in both locations.  One in the same folder as the SWF, and the other in with the HTML5 files.  What I don't know is exactly where in the HTML5 folders your file would need to be.  It might need to be at the same level as the index.html.  I haven't tested this.
    You should be able to figure out the answer to a lot of your questions just by testing things out on content uploaded to a web server.  At the end of the day, if it works, it works.

  • How to make Hibernate's Open Session In View Pattern work with Portal?

    I have a need to implement Hibernate's "Open Session In View" pattern in Portal's Page Flow and its JSP (View).
    Traditionaly, this can be done via a servlet filter, have the filter open the session and close the session, all the Page Flow action and JSP are inside the window between session open and close. For non-portal env, a single HttpRequest maps to only one Page Flow, this approach works.
    But for WebLogic Portal, a HttpRequest might trigger a Portal page to render multiple Portlets, each Portlet has its own Page Flow. Using this filter approach might force all Page Flow to share one open Hibernate Session, not we desired.
    So in WebLogic Portal, how can I manage the Hibernate Session life cycle so that Page Flow action and JSP can share one opened Hibernate Session?
    JZ

    Nevermind. Did a little searching and someone else explained that you have to add these items like they are toolbar buttons. Only then is there anything to drag. Someone please tell the developers at FF that they are idiots and to please fix the status bar before everyone jumps ship on them. This is ridiculous.

    Hi,
    could you please tell us first which machine youre exactly meaning? Would be useful to know since no one here knows what kind of model you own. And tell me also which LED you mean. Do you maybe mean the touchpad background lighting?
    Did you by the way checked the Toshiba utilities for this feature (can be found in the Start menu -> Programs -> TOSHIBA)
    Please give me some feedback which model you have and if you already checked the Tosh utils and the "Mouse Properties" in your "Control Panel" on this specific "LED feature".

  • How to make a SELECT LIST READONLY

    Hi,
    I have a form to update the existing values in a table. Primary column is based on a Select List.
    So when user goto update screen they SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE the primary filed(means the value display in the Select List).
    SO to make this one I have make that select list read only. But not like other items even when we make select list read only it still allow user to change the value. So basically read only property not working for select text.
    There are many post in this regading same issue. Some of them recomended to make it disabled. But when we make a item disabled then when user POST that form, Apex not POST any disabled item values. Basically disabled items values not passing next form. So making item dissable also not a solution.
    I have read almost 20 post in here regarrding this and didnt get any solution for this. So please let me know if anyone knows how to make a select list read only (which is working same as read only text boxes, means that value pass when user POST the form).
    Thanks in advance...
    mc

    You define a function(this is based aorund jQuery selectors) in the page header like
    <script>
      var makereadonly = function(selector, makeReadonly) {
          $(selector).filter("select").each(function(i){
              var select = $(this);
              //remove any existing readonly handler
              if(this.readonlyFn) select.unbind("change", this.readonlyFn);
              if(this.readonlyIndex) this.readonlyIndex = null;
              if(makeReadonly) {
                  this.readonlyIndex = this.selectedIndex;
                  $(this).css('background-color','#CDCDCD'); //Adds a background colour to readonly item
                  this.readonlyFn = function(){
                      this.selectedIndex = this.readonlyIndex;
                  select.bind("change", this.readonlyFn);
          //For input items
          $(selector).filter("input,textarea").attr('readOnly','readOnly');
          $(selector).filter("input,textarea").css('background-color','#CDCDCD');
    </script>and apply it using a jQuery selector (call it in the "execute on page load" or any other JS code)
      makereadonly('#ITEMNAME1,#ITEMNAME2,#ITEMNAME3',true);Not that all of these methods(that act at the client side) will only prevent the user from modifying it 'normally', they could manipulate these readonly items using Javascript(or using firebug or any tool like that). So its better to make sure that your don't use the item value(from the page) for processing.

  • How to make components' size constant?

    I have a newbie question for you. How to make the size of components (button, combobox, etc...) constant? I mean they keep the same size as the users change window's size.
    Thanks.
    Sraiper

    You need to use a layout manager that respects the minimum and maximum size of the components and set the minimum and maximum sizes to be the size that you want the component to be. FlowLayout respects minimum and maximum, and so does BoxLayout. BorderLayout and GridLayout don't respect the min or max sizes. You can usually get what you want with a combination of layout managers. If you gave me a better idea of how you want to layout your components, and what you want the resizing behavior to be, then I could give you some more specific recommendations about the layouts you should use.
    Try making some ascii drawings.
    Example:
            small size window              large size window
        |                       |  |                                      |
        | []check     o radio   |  |  []check                             |
        | []check     o radio   |  |  []check                   o radio   |
        |             o radio   |  |                                      |
        |  ___________________  |  |                            o radio   |
        | |_____textfield_____| |  |                                      |
        |  ________   ________  |  |                            o radio   |

    Abdetu.

    Hello Gerd
    Thanks for reply,
    i made a search for the file u mentioned
    FMRWEB; i found it on path C:\orant\FORMS60
    having the following :
    # FMRWEB.RES is the key definition file for webforms. The syntax is:
    # JFN : JMN : URKS : FFN : URFD (whitespace ignored)
    # JFN = Java function number
    # JMN = Java modifiers number
    # URKS = User-readable key sequence (double-quoted)
    # FFN = Forms function number
    # URFD = User-readable function description (double-quoted)
    # JAVA FUNCTION NUMBER
    # 33 = PageUp
    # 34 = PageDown
    # 35 = End
    # 36 = Home
    # 37 = LeftArrow
    # 38 = UpArrow
    # 39 = RightArrow
    # 40 = DownArrow
    # 65 - 90 = Ctrl+A thru Ctrl+Z (These will always have the control
    # modifier explicitly included, as well as any other
    # modifiers that might be used.)
    # 112 - 123 = F1 thru F12
    # 9 = Tab (Ctrl+I, without the control modifier)
    # 10 = Return (Ctrl+J, without the control modifier)
    # JAVA MODIFIERS NUMBER
    # Equal to the sum of the values for the modifier keys:
    # 0 = None
    # 1 = Shift
    # 2 = Control
    # 4 = Meta
    # 8 = Alt
    # FORMS FUNCTION NUMBER
    # The Forms function numbers match the function numbers found in a
    # typical Forms key binding file.
    # USER-READABLE STRINGS
    # The double-quoted strings appear when users click [Show Keys], and
    # are used for this purpose only. These strings can be translated as
    # needed. Note that the strings do not affect what actually happens
    # when end users press a particular key sequence.
