How to set the default duration of an activity?

As far as I have been able to find, all iCal entries have a default duration of one hour.
However, in 98% of the cases, I'd want the duration to be just 15 mins.
How can I avoid changing this for almost every entry?

Bob,
I have found this terminal command to be helpful for creating events at the desired interval.

  • How to set the default duration for still pictures ?

    Hi there,
    At the moment, when I drag a still picture from Viewer window to the Canvas window, a default 10-sec duration of the still picture will appear on the timeline.
    How do I set this default to 8 seconds ?
    I tried looking at User Preference and System Preference but cannot locate them. Maybe I miss them ?
    Can someone help me on this, please ?
    Thanks

    Also there is a bug in FCE and FCP which affects PAL.
    If you set the still for 8 seconds it will come out at 6 seconds and 20 frames.
    So if you want a really exact figure you will have to set it longer by maths or trial and error.
    Yes Ian, just noticed that there is a bug !
    Mine was set to 12 secs & I always got 10 seconds.
    Now I set to 12 secs & I got 8 seconds.
    It looks like it is always 2 seconds less from what you set ?
    Thanks

  • SRM 4.0- How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC

    The radio button “Service” should not be visible.
    Also for search help (e.g. search for internal products) where a search should only be possible for product type 01 (goods). The system should not display the product type and internally always search for goods only.
    How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC
    We needs to use Search help BBPH_PRODUCT which having parameter PRODUCT_TYPE
    Here we can set defalut value 01 but it is not correct one since same search help is using several places.
    We need to limit the search help results only for SC.
    Kindly help out me ASAP.

    The easiest way to set defautl values is to edit the batch class.
    Goto the characteiristic and go to update values.
    In here you probably have something like 0 - 100 as a spec range.
    On the next line enter the default value within this range.  At the end of the line, click in the box in the column labelled "D".  This indicates the defautl value for the characteristic.
    If you need to you can do this in the material classification view as well.
    Just to be clear, these values will only show up in the batch record.  You can not have defautl values in resutls recording screens.

    "I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns that are shown in iTunes. Every time I open it, I have to either go to the options, or right-click to get the pop-up options, and delete "rating" and add "composer."

    Any help would be appreiated.  OSX 10.9.2  iTunes version 11.1.5  Thanks!!! CW!

    From the iTunes menu bar try View>Show View Options.  Make sure what you want to see is checked and what you don't is unchecked.  You can do this (may need to do this) for any playlists, your main Library, etc.
    Good luck

  • How to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text

    how to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text. In other words how to break the line in the code of a text box.
    thank you

    There are a couple of ways of doing this:
    If you're editing on the canvas, press Shift + Enter.
    If you're working in Express View (see lower right hand corner of Project Siena), you'll need to copy a hard return from another app such as Notepad.
    I believe a better implementation of hard returns are in the list of requested functionality that you can find here:

    You need to specify "Default Values" in the report parameter property. Choose similar option used in the "Available Values" option, this will allow the parameter to check "Select All".

  • How to set the default value in dashboard prompt?

    Hi there,
    In my Dashboard prompt I'm getting values like:
    Mar 2010
    Apr 2010
    May 2010
    Jun 2010
    How to set the default value to the current month (Jun 2010). I don't want to use "specific value". I want to use the "SQL Result" for populating the default value.
    Appreciate your help

    hi,
    you can create a Repository variable current_month with the expression as
    select to_char(trunc(sysdate),'Mon')from dual
    and use this in the prompt "Default to" Server variable and use this repository variable.
    hope this helps.
    cheers,

  • How to set the default NetworkInterface for the default socket factory?

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to set the default network interface used by the JVM. I saw that you can specify the network interface when creating a socket. But my problem is that I dont want to change every socket creation in the application and even worse some partner's libraries wich I dont have access to code also create sockets. So is there a way to specify to the JVM wich interface to use by default? I didn't saw any System.properties to set this and my googling fishing didn't return anything usefull.
    Thanks

    By default it will use whichever one the routing tables tell it will give the shortest path to the destination. For globabl changes, adjust your routing tables. You can't do this from Java, you have to use whatever OS tools are to hand.

  • How to set the default display date of Calender prompt of SMPortal???

    Good Day!!
    As for as my knowledge, the default date Visible in all Calender prompt will be the
    Starting Date in the Specified date range either "RelativeDateRange" or "AbosoluteDateRange".
    But we have a requirement to set the default date to a date in the middle of the specified range, I don't find any option to specify in Request Offering Wizard or MP's xml file.
    Our scenario is as follows,
        We are trying to customize the CSPP's request offer "Request Virtual Machine", which has a user promt to select Decommission Date for the New VM. We have configured the date prompt as Relative Date range and set the
    Start date as "1 day next to user's current time" and Maximum date to "90 days after relative date".  So the user will get option to select Decomm date from (1-90) days with the defalut date as 1st day next to his current
    time. But our requirement is to set the default available date as 90th date in the above mentioned Relative Date Range.  
         I couldn't find any option in Request offering Wizard as attached below,
          Also I couldn't even find any tag to specify the default display date in the MP's XML file as attached below. Is there any other <tag> can be included inside <Details> tag to accomplish this ??
        Is there any other way to accomplish this???
        Please advise
    Thanks,

    This is probably a link editor parameter, see the linker and loader guide.
    Another thing you can do is write your own sbrk() that will log whenever it's called, so you can at least see how many times it's called and with what values. If you really need in-depth instrumentation, write your own heap routines and give them the same names as the CRTL routines. The linker should find yours first and route all memory operations through them. At least, that's the way it worked for me on SunOS 4.1....

  • How to set the 'default to' field of a dashboard prompt to yesterday?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a dashboard prompt on a date (fully qualified name Date.Date and type Date).
    I also have a simple report with two columns: Date.Date and a mesure (whatever the name).
    I managed to filter on the day before the current date in the report by adding an advanced SQL filter:
    Date.Date = Cast(TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY,-1,@{system.currentTime}) as Date)
    Now, I would like the prompt to select the day before the current date by default.
    The filter on Date.Date would be 'is prompted' or so.
    How do I set the "Default to" field of the prompt?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    go to your prompt..
    select SQL Results from Default to: dropdown..
    here.. you need to write your Logical SQL..
    which defaults to the previous date
    some thing like this..
    *select case when 1=0 then anydate column else timestampadd(sql_tsi_day, -1, CURRENT_DATE) end FROM SubjectArea name*
    write like this.. and report back...
    Thanks & Regards
