How to Skip/Disable AE (Original) Scaling Action

Dear All:
I am newbie for AE plugin development. I want to design a plugin to add a boarder around a layer (like "Resizer" example). But, when I scale the layer which my plugin apply, I want the boarder size will be fixed.
In Resizer example, it set the size of boarder and change the output buffer. But when scaling the effected layer, the boarder will also be scaled.
I find the article http://forums.adobe.com/message/1798781 which give me some help (thank shachar). Right now, when user scale the layer, my plugin will get the value of scale and render the output with fixed boarder. But the AE will scale the layer again, the result of the behavior is still wrong (the layer is scaled twice).
My main goal is to use my plugin to replace the AE original "scale" action. Any hint or related document/dissusion is very welcomed. thanks for your help.

well, you can't really skip the transformation of a layer in AE.
the output of your effect is shown in the comp ONLY via a layer, which, like it or not, may get transformed.
a couple of workarounds:
1. as you already tried, you should read the scale value of the layer,
but instead of applying that scale on the image, you should apply the inverse of that scale (10000 / sacle).
so now the scaling of the scaled buffer * the scaled layer == 100.
this is a lame solution as the higher the user sets the scale, the lower the resolution becomes.
2. apply the following expression on the scale param of your layer:
[100, 100, 100]
now the layer doesn't get scaled.
you can still read the original value via GetNewStreamValue().
there's a flag (the one before last) that when set to TRUE will give you the pre-expression value of that stream.
so AE won't scale the layer, but you'll know the true value to scale it by.
3. get the layer transformation matrix and go crazy.
let's hope you don't need to go to this extreme.

How to skip non-PDF files in Action on folder?

Hello,
I have an Action in Acrobat Pro XI that takes a default folder and (using JS) batch converts the PDFs to text. However, it also tries to convert *.txt files. I don't care that it imports the *.txt to *.pdf as temp file but it then stops the batch processing by asking if I want to save the changes to the temporary PDF. How can I bypass this? Here is the JavaScript it executes:
    /* Convert PDF to Text File (*.txt) */
    var inPath = "../";
    var outPath = "/c/users/***/desktop/test/output/";
    var myFile = inPath + this.documentFileName
    var myFileExt = myFile.replace(/^.*\./,'');
    if (myFileExt == 'tmp'){
        console.println(this.path);
    } else {
        console.println('Found a PDF!');
        console.println(this.path);
        this.saveAs(outPath + this.documentFileName + ".txt", "com.adobe.acrobat.plain-text");
Options I'm fine with:
Skipping all non-PDF files from the Actions WizardCan't find a method to do this.
Disabling the Save As prompt for the temporary created PDFs (*.txt files)
The line returned by console.println(this.path) if myFileExt == 'tmp' is this":/C/Users/**/AppData/Local/Temp/A9R6966.tmp
It still creates a temporary PDF.
I tried this.closeDoc('true') but it closes Acrobat entirely.
I hope that is concise enough! Thanks for looking.

Skipping all non-PDF files from the Actions Wizard
This used to be possible, but unfortunately it's not possible any longer in Acrobat XI.
What you can try to do is just add a Save command to your Action and hope that it saves the temp files silently (maybe you can save them in some temp folder), and then closes them and continues...

How to Disable the Lead selection Action on aTable n How to Refreh a Page

HI....
1)How to Disable the Lead selection Action on aTable n How to Refreh a Page r web dynpro application.
In my case i have a table n user enters data on multiple rows in table , n i have some input fields outside of table for those Inputs fields am settiing the data at the screen initilization(in Init() moethod by hard code).the problem is whenever the is clicking in th 2nd row of a table the Lead Selection is triggerig and the data in the Input Fields outside the table is not displayinig.
So by removing the lead Selection Action of a table i thought i can reslove this,
2) How to refresha page(like we click F5 on key board),is it can be done thru code in web dynpro application
Regards
Rajesh

Hi,
You did not explained what is your functionality or coding in leadselection. Is that action on leadselection is necessary for you?.
1)If you just want to remove the action then go to table properties and remove the action for leadselection.
2)If you still want to continue with your leadselect action, then what you can do is.. write the code in leadselection action to again set the input fields which are out from table. That is what you did in your init method.
Page Refreshing
3) What do you mean by page refreshing? is that refreshing your table only or both the table and input fields.
What I understood is you are allowing the user to enter values in table and soon after pressing a button the values should be saved and the data in input fields shld be deleted. For this if you only invalidate the node then the user entered data will be lost.
So what you do is after getting the input data from the user add it to a ArrayList and then invalidate the node which clears the data in input field. Finally bind the Arraylist to your node. see the following code. This is a concept make changes according to your requirement
ArrayList list1=new ArrayList();
wdContext.nodeAbc().bind(list1);
IPrivateExcelviw.IAbcElement ele = wdContext.createAbcElement();
ele.setNo(wdContext.currentAbcElement().getNo());
ele.setName(wdContext.currentAbcElement().getName());
ele.setMarks(wdContext.currentAbcElement().getMarks());
list1.add(ele);
wdContext.nodeAbc().invalidate();
wdContext.nodeAbc().bind(list1);
Revert me if you have any doubts

How to enable/disable the input fields based on the data entered/user action in the web dynpro abap?

How to enable/disable the input fields based on the data entered in the web dynpro application abap? If the user enters data in one input field then only the next input field should be enabled else it should be in disabled state. Please guide.

Hi,
Try this code.
First create a attribute with the name readonly of type wdy_boolean and bind it read_only property of input field of which is you want to enable or disable.
Next go to Init method.
Set the readonly value as 'X'.
DATA lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
     DATA ls_context TYPE wd_this->element_context.
     DATA lv_visible TYPE wd_this->element_context-visible.
*   get element via lead selection
     lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ).
*   @TODO handle not set lead selection
     IF lo_el_context IS INITIAL.
     ENDIF.
*   @TODO fill attribute
*   lv_visible = 1.
*   set single attribute
     lo_el_context->set_attribute(
       name = `READONLY`
       value = 'X').
After that Go to the Action ENTER.
First read the input field ( first input field, which is value entered field) , next give a condition
if input value is not initial then set the readonly value is ' '.
DATA lo_nd_input TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
     DATA lo_el_input TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
     DATA ls_input TYPE wd_this->element_input.
     DATA lv_vbeln TYPE wd_this->element_input-vbeln.
*   navigate from <CONTEXT> to <INPUT> via lead selection
     lo_nd_input = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_input ).
*   @TODO handle non existant child
*   IF lo_nd_input IS INITIAL.
*   ENDIF.
*   get element via lead selection
     lo_el_input = lo_nd_input->get_element( ).
*   @TODO handle not set lead selection
     IF lo_el_input IS INITIAL.

How to disable an original statement without making repair via enchancement

Hello,
My problem is I want to change a Form in SAP original codes. I wrote my code in an enhancement at the end of the form. But the origianl form contains an "exit" statement. so my enchancement cannot be executed. As far as I know I can only insert an echancement to the beginning or end of a form. I cannot insert it at the begining becouse it would not work proper. How can I disable that "exit" statement to make my code accessible.
for example:
*Original code starts here:
-   statement A
-   statement B
-   statement C
-   if sy-subrc ne 0.
-       exit.
-   endif.
-   statement D
-   statement E
*My enchancement goes here:
-   statement F
-   statement G
-   statement H
what I want is: if sy-subrc is not equal 0 at that condition
continue execution from "F" statement.
One could say that move statement "D" and "E" to else block of the condition. but I am not allowed to make repairs to the original code.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
U can make 'EXIT' disable if it won't affect the other functionalty then
Write a OSS request to SAP clearly saying ur requirement and wat u want in the std code to make accessible ur code.

How do I disable Plugin Check?

How do I disable this new "feature?"
* It opens up a new tab on startup that I don't want.
* The check doesn't even work half the time.
* Most of the plugins it finds are "unknown" (despite the fact that I know where every one of them came from!)
* It doesn't register that I've already updated all the plugins that it can find
* And in case anybody from this plugin check project is reading this, please, ''please'' add in a way to stop this check from running on startup. I know you want to help, but you're just annoying the userbase.

I had no luck with other alleged solutions, and one I tried caused Adobe Flash Player to screw up (as others have reported elsewhere). Here’s what I did to help alleviate (not solve) the Plugin Check problem:
1. Type “about:config” (without quotes) in your web address box and hit return. This should take you to a (not-so-secret) Firefox configuration page that lists the many Firefox settings.
2. If you first get a warning message, click the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button. Do be careful not to mess up any settings unintentionally. (The worst scenario might be that you have to re-install Firefox—do you have your preferred Firefox version [e.g., 3.6] setup file saved somewhere? You may want to download it first, to be safe.)
3. Once on the about:config page, in the “Filter” box at the top type “plugins.update” (again, no quotes). This should reduce the visible list down to only two (or so) settings. (Don’t worry--doing this does not change or remove anything, just makes the list you see more manageable. The full list will still be there if you remove the filter.)
4. Double-click on the “plugins.update.url” setting line to change the address “https://www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/plugincheck/” to anything else you want, for example “http://www.google.com”, or “http://my.ebay.com”, or your homepage address. Then exit Firefox (there is no "save" action needed).
Now when you start Firefox again you will have two tabs, one with your homepage and one with that other address in place of the Plugin Check page. This doesn’t solve the problem, but at least you do not have to look at the annoying Plugins Check page. (You can always put the original address back in the about:config page if you do want to see the Plugin Check page.) If you make the address your homepage, you’ll have two homepage tabs and can ignore or delete the second one.
Let’s hope a real solution (for FF 3.6 users) is found soon. I suspect that Mozilla wants everyone to switch to Firefox 4, which may be the real answer. Annoying.

How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?

How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?
I have a few hundred computers running Adobe Flash Player.
The operation system is Windows XP.
They are Compaq 6005 desktop PC’s, with an inbuilt ATI radeon HD 4200 video card.
We have a persistent issue where viewing a flash video (e.g. something on youtube) causes the video card driver to crash. You are left with no video signal to the monitor. Audio continues and the computer still responds to commands. This only happens when watching flash video.
We have tried:
Updating flash plugin (numerous versions)
Updating the video card drivers (we have tried the last three video card driver versions, including the HP drivers and ATI drivers)
Updating the browsers (this problem happens with IE8/9 and Firefox10/11/12)
There seems to be two ways to work round this issue. One is to disable the video acceleration in the ‘troubleshoot’ section in the advanced part of the display settings area in windows. The other way is to start a flash video, right click, go to ‘settings’ and untick the box marked ‘Enable Hardware Acceleration’.
Doing either of these things allows the user to view flash videos with no apparent issues.
Is there a way to disable the hardware acceleration in Flash without visiting the PC? Perhaps an undocumented option in the mms.cfg file? I understand that you can use an option to skip the video card check, and so force hardware acceleration on, can you do the opposite?
Thanks in advance
Daniel.

Hi.
I have had over 200 views, and no suggestions as to how this could be fixed.
I have also posted in the general flash forum, that thread has fewer views.
If I should put this question in a different forum please let me know which one.
If what I am asking is not possible is there a mechanism for escalating this issue or requesting a feature for the next version of flash?
Thanks.

How can i disable a submit button and execute submit_action method on click

Good Day,
On my page I have a submit button that execute the submit_action method of the page backing bean that submit data captured on the page into a database and activate another class that send mail at the same time on a click of the submit button,the mail process takes a while before returning back to the page.I was able to disable the submit button to prevent the user from keep click while the process is running but the issue is on clicking the submit button it only disable the submit button without executing the submit_action method of the page backing bean.How can i disable the submit button and execute submit_method of the backing bean at the same time.
Thanks in advance.

I tried this out on one of my pages to see if it works.
First, I added the following JavaScript to my submit button's onClick event:
this.disabled=true; return true;When I clicked the submit button, it was disabled but the form was not submitted.
I deleted the JavaScript from the onClick event and added the following JavaScript to the form's onSubmit event:
var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); button.disabled=true; return true;When I click the submit button, it was disabled and the form was submitted but the button's action method was not called.
The next thing I tried was to change the onSubmit event code:
var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); setTimeout("button.disabled=true", 500); return true;This seemed to work. The difference was that I added a 1/2 second delay before disabling the button.
See if that works for you. If not then I'm fresh out of ideas.

Do it thru its action:
//Deactivate a button disabling its action
//You can see it but clicking it does nothing
wdGetACTION_NAMEAction().setEnabled(false);
//Get it's funcionality back
wdGetACTION_NAMEAction().setEnabled(true);
Or you could hide it using an attribute of type WDVisibility binded to its visible property.
//Hide it
wdContext.currentContextElement.setATTRIBUTE(WDVisibility.NONE);
//and Show it
wdContext.currentContextElement.setATTRIBUTE(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);

How do i disable an Apple Id account?

I have a co worker that set us an apple id with our business credit card. i would like to know how i can disable this account so that things can not be charged to the account being that this person no longer works here?

You can go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and Change the password if you know the Security information.
If you want to terminate the account, any and all content downloaded with the account will no longer be accessible. As content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that originally bought it or downloaded it.
If you reall want to terminate the account you will need to contact Itunes Support and request the Id be disabled.

how do I disable time machine? I want to use my external drive as additional storage. But it mirrors everything I edit. If I remove a document, it removes it from the external drive as well.
I purchased a 1 TB WD passport drive, formatted for Mac. I set it up originally (mistakenly) to backup time machine. I went back and set it to "do not backup" It still backs up evey document I edit. If I add a document when the drive is disconnected, it automatically adds it to the external drive the next time connect to the passport drive. If I remove a document the same thing happens.
I need additional storage to free up space on my laptop hard drive. This is not working the way I want it to. Help!

Do not backup your startup volume to another partition on the same drive. If the drive fails you have nothing. Always backup to another drive or volume on another drive.
The I/O error usually means there's a problem with the drive. Clone ASAP, then repartition and reformat the main drive. Then restore the clone. Here's the basic process:
You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive.
Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the external one.
Boot from the external hard drive.
Erase the internal hard drive.
Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
Clone the internal drive to the external drive
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After startup do the following:
Erase internal hard drive
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Do not quit Disk Utility.
Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.

How do I disable zip folders in Windows 7?

I like to use a third-party archive application, so I really don't like how by default Windows makes zip files expand automatically in Windows Explorer and show up in the folder view.
So... How do I disable zip folders in Windows 7?
In XP and Vista, I was able to find solutions to remove this "feature"
In XP, I simply did...
regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
In Vista, I had to remove a couple registry entries:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; Disable ZIP support in Windows Vista
; restart Windows after applying this patch
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}]
I don't want to guess and delete the wrong registry entries if someone else knows which ones I need to remove.

EDIT - I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION
After considerable browsing (thank you, Google), I have a solution that works. It is based on fixes for Vista, but works 100% for my Windows 7 64-bit install.
You will need to edit your registry (delete 2 different keys), so I highly recommend you back up your registry or better yet, make an image of your OS drive (probably C:\). I use Norton Ghost 2003 (only from a NG 2003 boot floppy) and have never had a single problem. Norton Ghost does not have to be installed on your system for this to work (in fact, it will stall due to compatibility issues).
First a note regarding the various reg tweaks that are available for download (e.g., "vistaunzip.reg"). These will NOT work - undoubtedly due to ownership/permissions issues.
The following two (2) keys need to be deleted fromthe registry:
For zip files delete the regkey
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}
For cab files delete
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}
When you try to delete them, you will almost certainly get an "access denied" or "failed" type of message. Before you can delete them, you need to change the permissions/ownership of these two keys. Here is how to do it:
01 - open regedit from the RUN console
02 - navigate to the first key that needs to be deleted (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E88DCCE0- B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31})
03 - right click on the key and select "Permissions"
04 - click on "Advanced"
05 - click on the "Ownership" tab
06 - in the "change owner to" section, highlight your username
07 - check the box for "replace owner on subcontainers and objects"
08 - click on "Apply"
09 - Click "OK"
10 - Under "Security" tab, highlight your username and check the box for "Allow Full Control" (located mid-menu in the "Permissions For Administrators" section)
11 - click "Apply" and "OK"
12 - you can now delete the registry key. MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON THE CORRECT KEY!
13 - repeat the process for the 2nd key.
14 - reboot (changes will NOT take effect until you reboot
15 - VOILA! NO MORE ZIP FOLDERS! woohoo!
16 - thanks to the original solvers of this problem, whomever they may be.
I would like the same help that deedvd is seeking. How do I DISABLE the
zip folder function? I do NOT want my zip files to appear as "folders".
Why anyone in Redmond thought this was a brilliant idea is beyond me.
It adds to clutter and makes file browsing a lot less enjoyable. I
simply want my zip files to appear as files - with the ".zip"
extension. Just like every other file. The responses to deepdvd were
probably as frustrating to him as they are to me. Changing the default
program for zip files is IRRELEVANT. It only changes whether Windows or
some third party app (7Zip, Izarc, etc) OPENS the files. They continue
to show up as folders. I tried the unregister script (earlier thread)
"Running regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll should be enough to disable zip functionality. Then just run your 3rd party archite application and let it re-register archive files." and it did not work. I got the same error that deeddvd got "The module "C:\Windows\system32\zipfldr.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllUnregisterServer was not found.
Make sure that "C:\Windows\system32\zipfldr.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."
I would love to find a resolution to this problem. If anyone out there knows how to DISABLE the zipfolder function, please post the solution. I am thanking you in advance.

Is it possible to disable panel stretch/"scaling" on a ThinkPad X200?

A few months ago, I was enlightened by a thread about how to disable panel stretching and enable the execute disable feature on my N200 laptop (these were features I'd been missing for years) by means of SymCmos. Now that I have an X200, I was impressed to see that you can enable virtualization and execute disable right from the setup screen, but I still can't find any way to disable panel stretch ("scaling") for times when resolutions other than 1280 by 800 are displayed on the screen. Does anyone know of a SymCmos tweak (or any other kind of fix) that can make this happen? Thanks.

Any updates on this?
