Inconsistent values in Info Panel and Transform Panel

Does anyone know what circumstances would cause inconsistent values for Width and Height to be shown in the Info Panel vs the Transform Panelin AI CS6? For instance, I have a vector object selected and the Transform Panel has "80 in" for the width value and the Info Panel shows "96.8654 in". Height is likewise screwy. Should this ever be happening? Is it possibly an AI bug?

That's not normal. Try a restart.
If that doesn't help, try and trash the preferences. Or try this method http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html

Spry Accordions, Tabbed Panels, and Collapsible Panels: changing colors

I wanted to alert everyone to a great new Community article published by our very own David Powers. The article details the various best practices and methods for changing the colors of Accordion, Tabbed Panels, and Collapsible Panels widgets, including tab backgrounds, borders, and so on.
Here's the article:
http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/504/cpsid_50437.html
Customization questions are pretty frequent in both the Spry and Dreamweaver forums. This new styling guide is sure to answer lots of peoples' questions.
Furthermore, the appearance of such an article is a great example of how Community content can interact and live symbiotically with Adobe Help. We've linked directly to David's piece from our own customization pages for the Spry Accordion, Tabbed Panels, and Collapsible Panels widgets:
Customize the Accordion widget
Customize the Tabbed Panels widget
Customize the Collapsible Panels widget
Thanks a lot to David for hammering out this article.
If you're interested in publishing Community articles of your own, you can download the Community Publishing AIR application and get right to work!

The borders you see, are called outline, its a accesiblity feature of the browsers,
Actually called 'focus' lines :-)
Here's an article about the Bluefocus lines seen in Safari.
http://www.brunobergher.com/blog/2009/01/19/safaris-blue-focus-lines/
Without creating a Spry widget myself right now to test, but I'm sure thata there is a 'focus' rule in the css...
trying the
{outline:none;}
on that rule.

Control panel and Function panel are empty

The Control Panel and Functions Palettes are both blank. How do I repropagate the panels with all related icons? LabVIEW repair does not repropagate panels. Thank You!

Did the palettes ever have something in them, or is this a new install.
First try just selecting a different menu setup. This should tell us if it's a bad menu file or all the vi.lib files have disappeared.
If that doesn't do it, open your file browser and navigate to "...National Instrument/LabVIEW X.X/vi.lib" and look in the sub directories and see if there are any files. Most of what's in the palettes comes from the vi.lib directory. If there's nothing in there, I'd do a complete uninstall, then reinstall and see of that takes care of it.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Looked up DNT:1 and reference to "Firefox Preferences" .. "Advanced panel" and "Privacy panel" yet I can't find ANY OF THESE ... Where are they please?

I know some find this type of knowledge simple, but it's frustrating for an old non-geek like me. I tried to sign up for the mailing list about DNT:1 ... but when I clicked on "subscribe" a small window opened, telling me I had "no email program associated.." and to "create an association in the Default Programs control panel". I went to my Control Panels and Default Programs, but could not find ANYTHING in there to enable me to associate my email address TO ANYTHING. So much computer jargon ASSUMES the user knows the jargon. I'm not stupid... I have a degree and Post Grad qualifications, but I am not a mind reader even at close range - let alone online.
Why is something important as Advanced panel, Preferences or Privacy panel nowhere to be seen on my Firefox browser page?

In PSE9 is there a way to enlarge the levels adjustment panel and effects panel for viewing?

In PSE9 is there a way to enlarge the levels adjustment panel for viewing? The histogram is so small.
I know we can use the arrow keys to change the settings for the histogram, but it is just the overall view of it I would like to see bigger.
I think with PSE8 the effects panel could be dragged out of the panel bin and made longer AND wider, but in PSE9 it can only be made longer when dragged outside the panel bin.
And I think the whole panel bin could be dragged wider or narrower.

not really apart from changing the resolution, but theres a a couple of things you can do
you can change the "minimum font size" in Safari (and other apps) in the General tab - this will enlarge any fonts to the minimum size you specify if they are under that size
the features in the accessiblilty section of system preferences might be worth a look as well
the pinch zoom feature is also useful
unfortunately there isn't a 1-button setting somewhere that can do this, because apps, documents, web pages, images etc all work independently from each other, they use different font types, different zoom levels, etc. You can't just enlarge them all in sync without content getting jumbled up/distorted. if enlarge an app/page/document and get it looking good, on the next one you would probably need to zoom in at a different level for it to look right

Issue with InDesign & Illustrator -- Control Panel and Tool Panel don't show

I just downloaded CS5 Creative Suite onto my shiny new MacBook. I'm formally a PC user and have used the CS suites for a long time, but haven't upgraded since CS3.
I open a file on the MacBook in Illustrator or InDesign and it shows the document window and the pasteboard. But it doesn't show the Control Panel or the Tool Panel.
Any ideas on how to get these items to show up?

I ended up uninstalling the programs and reinstalling them, on the
recommendation of a friend. This has fixed the issue.

CC Interface - CSS Designer Panel and Other Panels - do not close

I do not know what I did, but if I am in Code, Split, Design, or Live view the CSS Panel I have docked on the right does not minimize. It used to but no longer. I did not explicitly change any preferences. I just know it is something simple but I am stumped for now.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Print jTable with a header and footer panel

Hi Folks,
I'm currently at a sticking point in a project I'm playing around with. I have a data set of around 300 objects that i'd like printed out in a table. Now, I've gotten the display part down without a hitch but printing the data as well as a header panel and footer panel has been eluding me. I'd basically like something like this...
Name: some name Order date: some date
Address: some address Shipped To: some address
somewhere Some city, some state, etc
in some city
Date | Title | Etc | Etc | Etc
date1 title1 5 $3.00 $15.00
date1 title1 5 $3.00 $15.00
date2 title1 5 $3.00 $15.00
date2 title1 5 $3.00 $15.00
Total purchases: $60.00
Total Items: 20
# of Orders: 2
Am I barking up the wrong tree by making the first and third sections panels and the second section a table? If not, how the heck do I accomplish this? Most of the time the table has been multiple pages as well - I only need section one on the first page and section three on the last page, but whatever is easiest really.
My current approach has been basically to make a custom printables, print the first section, figure out how high it was, print the second section and hope for the best, but the third would never show up because it'd never go over two pages.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Stephen

I suppose as a quick update, this is as far as I've gotten and will likely get-
public class PrintForm extends JFrame implements Printable{
    JComponent headerPanelForPrint;
    JComponent footerPanelForPrint;
    JTable dataTableForPrint;
    public void setPieces(JComponent header, JTable table, JComponent footer){
        this.headerPanelForPrint = header;
        this.footerPanelForPrint = footer;
        this.dataTableForPrint = table;
    public int print(Graphics graphics, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex) throws PrinterException {
        graphics.translate((int)pageFormat.getImageableX(), (int)pageFormat.getImageableY());
        TableFormat tableFormat;
        if(pageIndex>0){
            tableFormat = new TableFormat(0, footerPanelForPrint.getHeight());
        } else {
            headerPanelForPrint.printAll(graphics);
            tableFormat = new TableFormat(headerPanelForPrint.getHeight(), footerPanelForPrint.getHeight());
        MessageFormat footer = new MessageFormat("Page - {0}");
        Printable table = dataTableForPrint.getPrintable(PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH, null, footer);
        int printme = table.print(graphics, tableFormat, pageIndex);
        if(printme == table.NO_SUCH_PAGE){ return table.NO_SUCH_PAGE; }
        return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
class TableFormat extends PageFormat {
    double footerHeight;
    double headerHeight;
    public TableFormat(double headerHeight, double footerHeight){
        this.headerHeight = headerHeight;
        this.footerHeight = footerHeight;
    @Override
    public double getImageableHeight() {
        return super.getImageableHeight() - ( this.footerHeight + this.headerHeight );
    @Override
    public double getHeight() {
        return super.getImageableHeight() - ( this.footerHeight + this.headerHeight);
    @Override
    public double getImageableX() {
        return 0;
    @Override
    public double getImageableY() {
        return this.headerHeight;
}It works very well with just a header and the table, but I still have not been able to get a footer to show up in the appropriate spot or (preferably) on the last page.

Html panel - inside html panel?

hi everyone
i have a page with a main content div which is an html panel theat will load different content
one of the (fragment) pages it loads has xml data etc on it.
i now need on this dynamic page a little html in a div too, but that means an html panel within an html panel!
i declared var infolpanel; on the main page, and the maincontent htmlpanel div has evalscripts set true
on the dynamic fragment page, the xml datasets are working etc, but i need another html panel
infopanel = new Spry.Widget.HTMLPanel("info");
infopanel.loadContent('products/'+ product + '/info.html');}};
now when i load the page, none of the xml data populates either, instead showing {dataset::variable} instead :-s
removing the above javascript again fixes it.
so, is there any (other?) way for this fragmented page to load a smaller fragment into the div?
thanks

How do I open another collapsible panel, on a different page
through a link? I have tried many different ways, including trying
to use SpryURLUtils.js and am not having any luck? I really wanted
to jump to a different pages' collapsible panel, open it, and then
populate the SpryHTMLPanel, located inside that targeted
collapsible panel. My collapsible panels and HTML panels all work
fine on the target page, when just interacting on the page itself,
with mouseclicks. Inside the collapsible panels I have unordered
list of links, that populate HTMLpanels, with the appropriate HTML
fragments. My problems lies in crosslinking from other webpages to
the exact collapsible panel, and then populating the exact HTML
fragment, just as if I had clicked on the link in the list, if I
had been on the target page in the first place.

BEX F4 help values from posted values in Info Provider not from Master data

We have an info object called Archival purpose and it is display attribute of Master data info object Archive Number. Both Info objects are used in a cube. Posted values in cube have only two value for info object Archival purose which is "EXCOM" and "EA".
But when we do the F4 in the bex query, we see some other F4 values. Although Master data is having other entries but we have defined in the bex property of both the info object to read the f4 value from the posted values in the info provioder.
Please suggest how to get values in bex F4 help only from posted values in info provider and not from the master data.
Thanks

Hi,
You don't need to change the Infoobject definition as it will become global and it will be applicable for whereever this infoobject is used. Instead you can manage this setting for this particular Infoprovider.
Go to RSA1 and double click on your infoprovider used for this query, go to change mode. From the right hand side dimension tree search for the Infoobject for which you want to maintain this property. If it is navigation attribute then you can search it in navigation attribute tree.
Once you find the infoobject right click and from context menu choose the first option "InfoObject specific properties". In the next popup in the last option about F4 values for filter you can select the option, "Only values from Infoprovider".

Durgesh.

Problems with Custom File Info Panel and Dublin Core

I'm creating a custom file info panel that uses the values of the dublin core description and keywords (subject) for two of it's own fields.

To answer my own question:
The documentation really sucks.
I found this reply from Adobe <http://forums.adobe.com/message/2540890#2540890>
usually we recommend to install custom panels into the "user" location at:
WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
WINDOWS VISTA: C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
MAC OS: /user/username/Application Data/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/2.0/panels/
The reason why your panels did not work properly was a missing Flash trust file for that user location. Without such a trust file the embedded flash player refuses to "play" your custom panel.
Please see section "Trust files for custom panels" in the XMPFileInfo SDK Programmer's Guide on page 50 for all details on how to create such trust files.
After many wasted hours I have now the simple panels running.
Cheers,

My users folder has 140GB used on it, but I cannot find where it is getting that calculation. I went through all of my folders and opened them all in an info panel, and they all come out to about 30GBs. Where is the rest of the data? -Using Mountain Lion

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then drag or copy — do not type — into the Terminal window:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Press return. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Graph does not autoscale when it's value is updated in a subvi and Defer Panel Updates is on

Hello,
I have a main VI containing several xy grpahs, which I update from a sub vi. In order to cut down on front panel redraws I defer panel updates while the graph values are updated and then redraw the FP after this has been done. However when I do this the graphs do not autoscale properly. I've attached two vi's as an example. Run the Main vi, if the Defer Panel Updates boolean is false then everything works fine, if it is true then the graph does not autoscale.
I have found a previous post that mentions something similar (here). Has this been fixed or is there a work around.
I'm using LV 8.5
Thanks
David

Hi Matthew,
Thanks for your reply, it fixed the problem. However it has thrown up a different but related issue.
In my application the user can select how many graphs to display and I
programmatically calculate the size and position of each graph. If any
of the graphs overlap, even slightly, and defer panel updates is on
then only the topmost graph autoscales correctly, the others don't at
all, although the data they display gets updated. Turning autoscale off
and on again for a particular graph rescales that graph, presumably
because it has been forced to.
I have attached a test case with 4 graphs. The size and position of the
graphs are set by the 'Offsets' cluster. Click 'Rearrange' to get it to
recalcute the positions. If you change the Vertical Gap or Horizontal
Gap values to 0 or negative then the graphs will overlap. With Defer
Panel Updates off there is no problem. With it on only the topmost
graph updates properly.
My current workaround is to ensure the graphs don't overlap, but I'm guessing they shouldn't be doing this anyway.
