IB Smartlist Palette

Where can I find an Interface Builder palette for creating smartlist query windows?
Is there an automated way to create smartlist querys based on an Xcode data model? Say similar to dragging an entity from the Xcode data browser to an IB window.

A little unclear.
If you're saying what I think you're saying, you probably can do it with Core Data without too much trouble.

Animated gif changes color palette while playing

Hi everyone,
I've been creating animted gifs using Matlab and the ImageMagick suite (convert). If I open the gifs in Preview, the color comes out fine in each frame; however i I use Quicktime (which is necessary, that's what we use for presentations) the color palette will change as the frames play.
I just got the newest version of Quicktime, hoping that it would solve the problem, but it didn't. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar to the software but I can guess what is happening.
Too many colors. A GIF is 8 bit (256 colors) but some of them are not used by all software. Windows and Mac's are different.
Does the software offer a way to reduce the number of colors used? Can you get it down to 8 bit? Can you discard unused colors with some other software?
Have you considered building an image sequence movie? These allow many different images formats and support up to 32 bit formats (millions of colors).
QuickTime Pro ($30) can import a series of images as a movie. The file size is much smaller than any video format used today (just the total of the images file size).

DID YOU KNOW?? - ABOUT ADVANCED COMPONENTS IN THE PALETTE??

<br>
Hi All,
DID YOU KNOW??
The IDE ships with the following Advanced Components in the Palette.
These advanced components are a set of JavaServer Page markup tags for advanced users. The components have no visual appearance and are useful to developers with experience in JSP and JavaServer Faces technologies.
* Encoding
* Faces Action Listener
* Faces Converter
* Faces Validator
* Faces Value Change Listener
* Faces Verbatim
* Link
* Load Bundle
* Markup
* Meta
* Parameter
* Script
Lets look at MARKUP component in more detail.
The MARKUP Component
You can drag the Markup component Markup component icon from the Palette's Advanced category to the Visual Designer to create a standard HTML tag. The Markup component enables you to insert HTML elements into the JSP page in places that HTML is not permitted.
When you drop this component on a page in the Visual Designer, you cannot see it on the page until you set the tag property. You can see it in the Outline window and you can select it there to edit its properties in the Properties window.
Use the tag property to specify the type of HTML element to insert. For instance, to insert an <hr> tag, set the tag property to hr with no angle brackets and select the singleton property .
To provide compliance with XHTML, if the HTML element you are inserting is a singleton element, you must specify the singleton property, which causes a trailing /> to be generated in the rendered HTML. For example, the <br> element is a singleton element that must be rendered as
to make it XHTML compliant.
If you want to specify HTML attributes in addition to id and style for the element you are inserting, use the extraAttributes property.

DID YOU KNOW?? - ABOUT DATAPROVIDER COMPONENTS IN THE PALETTE??

Hi All,
DID YOU KNOW??
Practically all applications entail accessing data of some sort, often data stored in a relational database table or some sort of list, such as a vector or an array. Usually you need to read in data from the data source, but many times you have to update that data, too. The Sun Java Studio Creator integrated development environment, as another enhancement to its application model, provides data provider components that simplify accessing data sources, regardless of whether the data source is a relational database table, flat file, web service, vector, array, or some other type of data store.
A data provider component is a nonvisual abstraction for wrapping sources of data, and it represents a more generic and flexible data binding mechanism. A glance at the Palette indicates that there are many different kinds of data providers available to you. These include data providers for cached RowSets, ResultSets, lists, arrays, maps, table rows, and method results.
These data providers constitute a layer between a web application's components and its persistence tier, such as a database table, Array object, or Enterprise JavaBean object. This layer enables you to access data in a consistent way, even though data may come from different sources.
Lets briefly discuss the CachedRowSetDataProvider
The CachedRowSetDataProvider Component
A CachedRowSetDataProvider is a wrapper to data held in a CachedRowSet. The primary purpose of a CachedRowSetDataProvider is to facilitate binding to components in the IDE. A CachedRowSet stores the data retrieved from a database. In fact, the only information held by the CachedRowSetDataProvider is a cursor position into the CachedRowSet. Multiple CachedRowSetDataProvider instances can reference the same CachedRowSet, and each instance will have its own cursor position into the CachedRowSet.

2) Did you face any challenges while using them?
3) Did you find any special usages/scenarios for using these components?

Mac OS 10.4.3 PhotoShop Palette Menus Have Large Font

I've recently been through a big crash and reinstall of the Mac OS (from the 10.4 DVD then the Software Update to 10.4.3) and Adobe Creative Suite 8.0. I have since trashed prefs as well as the ap and reinstalled PhotoShop a couple of times. However, that did not solve the problem, which is... the font that PhotoShop now uses on the labels in the Layers, History, Actions, Info, etc. palettes is too large. Its not the compact little font that was always there before, so it makes those palettes unwieldy. I have double checked that the layers in Illustrator, ImageReady and GoLive are still okay. They look fine, with compact little labels, just like always (and just like PhotoShop used to look). So, presumably, it aint a font thing, maybe more of a link of some kind? Any thoughts??? Thank you, Sam

In Photoshop under General Preferences there is an option of "UI Font Size". See what you have it set at.

I have LabView but I do not have the Calibration and Configuration Palette,and I could not download it, how can I download it or if i cannot,can I work with the NI-DAQ Calibration_1200?

I have read in a tutorial for the board 1200 that I can calibrate it with the Calibration and Configuration Palette in LabVIEW, but I do not have them and I could not download it to access its libraries, so I can only download the NI-DAQ software,What's my best choice and if it is to download the palette with its libraries, how can download it with them?I'd appreciate your answers

If you wish to use your 1200 device in LabVIEW, you must download and install NI-DAQ. When you install NI-DAQ, it will ask you if you would like to install support for LabVIEW. By installing this support, you will then have access to the DAQ pallette in LabVIEW. The DAQ pallette requires that you have NI-DAQ installed.
For more information on installing and using your device, you can refer to the DAQ Quick Start Guide. You can download it from:

How do I make Step Types in the Type palette be "master" versions which all sequence files on a particular should use? (since this only seems to "half work")

The situation I would like is to have a library of step types which sequence developers can use. Therefore if new step types need to be added, or existing ones modified - all that needs to be done is to roll out a new MyTypes.ini (for example), and the code modules/substeps.
Scenarios:
If I create types in MyTypes.ini (make sure "Attach to this file" is checked, so they get saved here). I can then create a sequence file using these step types. No problem so far.
I can open the type palette, modify the step properties, and save. When I go back to my sequence file an asterisk appears (saying it needs to be saved, even if I have opened it from scratch). The properties have been updated to reflect what is in the Type Palette. Still no problem (Type versions are the same in the sequence file and type palette).
This is where the problem appears:
If I change a step type (in the Type Palette) from using a code module to using a Post-Step substep instead (changing the module adaptor to "None") - any instances do NOT update when you open sequence files. (The same happens vice versa also).
Please note that the "Type version" listed in the sequence file DOES match that listed in the Type Palette - the properties are the same but the manner in which the code modules are called is DIFFERENT! This then can lead to to runtime errors if the old code module has been deleted for example.
The only way around this is to open EVERY sequence file that contains an instance of the step type, and make sure that you have "Apply changes to all loaded instances of this type" checked in the step type properties dialog. This is is not a good solution since files could be missed, and is very time consuming if you have hundreds of sequence files!
What I need is that the Type Palette on any particular station contains the MASTER copies of each type. These are loaded whenever a sequence file is loaded and NOT retreived from the sequence file. As discussed above this seems to work when you modify properties - but doesnt work fine if you change the way in which code modules are called.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation?

I had a system recently containing seven sequence files, approx 20 subsequences in each, and around 10-20 steps in each sub-sequence. Every step (except for the NI non-code module types) was an instance of a step type.
Each one of these steps had an Edit sub-step and a code module called through the code module adapter.
In order to make these into "wrapped up" step types it was decided to move the code module to a Post-Step substep (as also done in the NI-IVI step types) - so that developers cannot fiddle with the code prototype or module.
In order to do this I had to open all 7 of the sequence files, make the changes and then ensure that "Apply changes in this dialog to a loaded instances" was checked. This seems to sort of work, but some steps started causing Error 17502 (System Error) when you configure them (call the Edit substep). Over the course of the past few months I have had to effectively check every instance of a type to see if it works (deleting the step and replacing it when it doesnt). Other strange things happened like some of the step type instances now have the "None" (adapter) icon associated with them - but both still work.
The idea of creating a type-def of a step type is a good one, but frustrating that it doesnt seem to fully work. Why should the sequence file also store a version of the step-type - which is what is effectively causing this problem - why not make it so that if you dont have the step types installed in the type palette - TOUGH!

CS5 Brushes Palette doesn't save brush settings when browsing

Okay, this is a weird one.
When I open the Brush Palette (F5), it shows me the settigns for the current brush (nothing new here) but when I choose another brush (from the Brush Palette NOT from the menu at the top of the screen), it has the same settings and the same checkboxes (Textures, Dual Brush etc.) enabled as the previous one. Even if the second brush is not supposed to have them enabled. What is causing this? Please help.
I have the latest updates and the lates Wacom drivers installed.

Yeah, that was the problem. I didn't notice that I'm changing the tip. How silly of me.
Thank you very much!
One more little question.
When I click with the mouse to change the brush from the arrow at the top of the screen it isn't showing the pressure sensitivity on the stroke thumnails of the brushes for the whole session. However, when I click with the tablet it's showing them (again, for the whole session).
Is it how Photoshop works or is it some issue with the Wacom drivers? The versions before CS4 doesn't have this "issue".

FtpConnection and palette window problem

I've tried to implement a progress bar for handling FtpConnection puts and gets.
My progress bar code works; I use it in PSCS2 and PSCS3 just fine. My ftp code
is also working in Bridge CS3: my progress bar and text is getting updated
correctly, the files are getting transferred, I am just locked out of doing
anything with it, like hit the cancel key.
I've tried doing this with ftp sync and async, I've pumping and not pumping.
Nothing I do will let the palette window acquire focus while FtpConnection is
doing a get or a put.
Has anybody got a progress bar/palette working with FtpConnection yet?
-X

Hi,
You can create a scheduled task and call pump() on the ftp object from within that, then use the ftp call back to update your progress bar. With the Asynch demo Bridge/dialog will lock because the main thread is sleeping and writing to the console inside the while loop.
Try the following, you will have to adjust the timings and what not to get exactly what you are after but this works. I 'quickly' tested with a 100mb zip file using Bridge/ESTK CS3 and plain old ftp server.
Make sure a selection is made in Bridge and then run the script from ESTK - hope it helps.

Image Processing and machine vision don't appear in Function Palette

Hi,
I have problem and I can't solve it
Image Processing and machine vision don't appear in Function Palette, Although I set up NI imaq and NI Vision Acquisition Why??
Anyone can help me?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If the image is already a Grayscale U8 image you would just have to save it to a bitmap file using the IMAQ WriteFile VI. If not, use the IMAQ Cast Image VI to convert it to a Grayscale U8 and then save it.
Also, it would probably be better to create a new thread for questions like these.

InDesign Palettes not working

Hello fellow graphic junkies,
I have a big problem. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5 on windows 7 and have been using it just fine for a long time now. Just today it started having problems. When I open a file everything looks correct and works fine, until I try to push a button on any of the palettes or control panel. The palette titles; ie. Pages, Layers, Links can all be pushed to open up the palette however the buttons in the palette do not work. In fact the weirdest part is that the buttons on the control panel can be pressed but they are off by inches, so I try to change the kerning and the font menu drops down instead however only the control panel buttons and cursor buttons can be pushed. Everything else works, dragging images, writing new copy, drop down menus like File and Edit, clicking cursors or gradients from the cursor palette. I have updated it, re-installed it, and nothing is working. Could this be a plug-in problem with Suitcase Fusion? Is it something crazy like Java or an error with windows itself?
some of my specs are :
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.8 GHz
4GB Ram
64 bit Windows 7
ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
Sorry I don't really know what else you would need. Thank you for your help!

Foreign key fields not getting populated in datacontrol palette for EJB app

Hi,
I am quite new to ADF and EJB.I developed a jdeveloper application with JSF and EJB tiers.(I am using jdeveloper 10.1.3.5)
For database the default HR database is used.I created the entities for the EMPLOYEES and DEPARTMENTS table.
I also created a session bean and a data control for the session bean.
I am having a JSF page that receives all the details of a new Employee and insert into database (i.e persistEntity)
But the Employees constructor from the Data control palette is not populating the MANAGERID and DEPARTMENTID fields which are
the foreign key constraints for the EMPLOYEES table and hence while trying to persist the entity
with the auto populated fields an error message is thrown.
If I used ADF BC instead of EJB then i could populate all the fields including MANAGERID and DEPARTMENTID.
Is it possible to have two text fields for Manager and Department in the jsf to insert the Employee details with EJB as the Model?.
If possible how do I bind the values of these fields to the Employees entity object in EJB.
Kindly need your insights on this.
Thanks,
Guna.

Hi,
How are you using MANAGER_ID and DEPARTMENT_ID fields, are they exposed as Long (or some other numeric type), or did you map them on the entity, something like this
@ManyToOne
private Employee manager; // this by default uses the column named MANAGER_ID
@ManyToOne
private Department department; // this by default uses the column named DEPARTMENT_ID
.... If you mapped them (which is the right way), when you create an employee you should set these attributes before persisting the entity, by using employee.setManager(manager) and employee.setDepartment(department). Then, the foreign keys get populated automatically by your persistence provider (Toplink).
If you are using data controls, it is a little different process to set the department and manager, but you should take a look at this tutorial http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/ps1/ejb/ejb.html , it will hopefully answer a lot of your questions.

Links not showing in Links palette; InDesign CS3

Specs:
Version CS3
OS: XP Professional
Memory: 2gb
After running several searches I found an almost identical question in this forum, but an answer was not posted, plus they had an older version.
The link text (missing or not) is not showing up in the Links Palette. We have reset Preferences, by going to the actual location on the drive and removing them, forcing ID to recreate them on start up, but no luck. We always "Place" and never "Copy and Paste".
If we "Package", we can see a list of the Links as normal, it's just in the Links Palette where we're having problems.
Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure that's what Thomas is asking. It sounds to me more like he has an empty links palette (where he ought to be seeing links to images) than that all he has placed are text and spreadsheets, and his preference is to embed those.
Since prefs replacement isn't helping, and if I'm correct in my interpretation, I think the next step might be checking the video driver by turning off hardware video acceleration temporarily.

Some songs don't sync in one smartlist (possible BUG of itunes)

Hi,
I have one smartlist with 200 songs in itunes. After I sync with my iphone and the same smartlist have 190 songs inside the phone.
The files listen ok in itunes and in the iphone (in other lists).
Can be a bug of itunes? Is not the first time that this success me.
Please, help! I don't know what I can do!
Thank you!
PS sorry for my poor english, I'm spanish speker.

I checked "Match only checked items" in smartlist and "Sync only checked songs and videos" in iphone menu. However the problem persist.
I discovered what is the problem. The problem arises when you use the "comment" tag in the SmartList. In other SmartList that do not use the "comment" tag this problem does not happen.
One way to fix this is to delete the album and then add it again to itunes:
1) delete the album that gives you problems with SmartList
2) sync iphone
3) add the album again.
4) sync iphone again.
5) Now the SmartList that uses the "comment" tag appear correctly on the smartlist in iphone.
And I insist that the SmartList in itunes always go well, it's just on the phone where don't work anytimes!
Incredible. I hope that apple will solve this bug. Besides, this does not happen with all the albums, only with some albums! So I have to watch each SmartList in iphone that the sync run well.
ahh what a horror! I have hundreds of lists!! I'll go crazy!

Document page numbers in pages palette?

I just jumped from CS to CS5. I work in magazine spreads most of the time and would like the pages palette to reflect my document page numbering. All I can get it to show is 1, 2, 3, etc. with 1 starting on the LEFT page of the thumbnail spread, whereas the my document spreads always start on EVEN-numbered (left) pages. I have no trouble numbering the document itself any way I want, it's just the palette. Was not a problem in CS, it always showed my document page numbers below the thumbs. Is there a menu setting I am not finding?

Can you post a screen capture of your Pages Panel (they officially became panels instead of palettes in CS4, or maybe CS3)? Use the little camera icon on the web screen to embed it in your post.
The only things that's changed significantly about the Pages Panel/Palette is the addition of page thumbnails, so if you aren't seeing page numbers that match the numbers assigned (if you are viewing section numbering rather than absolute numbering -- a preference choice), then there is something wrong with the program. The first step with oddities like this is to Replace Your Preferences
