Initial Position of Preview

Hi there,
I'm having a little trouble when I start the Preview app: every time I start, it is split across my two screen.
I have one display above the other (both in reality and in the 'display settings' setup). Preview ends up displayed with the top half on the upper screen and the bottom have on the lower screen. It always reverts to this arrangement.
I'm not sure if this is a Preview related bug, or if this is a 'window behavior' issue -- is there some way to generally set the starting position of windows for an application? Should Preview be 'remembering' the last position after it closes?
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Yep, it's been doing that forever. For me, with side-by-side monitors it used to open with small things sticking over the edge to the left, large items opened fine, right where they were supposed to. As you open more things the opening position progresses slowly downwards and to the right, so it would tend to be only the first thing I open, if it is smallish. Haven't noticed it as much in Leopard as I did in Tiger, but maybe I just haven't been opening any small things.... I don't think there is a thing that can be done about it, unfortunately.

  • Return to initial position when dragging scroll bar

    There is a function in Windows that when using mouse cursor to drag the scroll bar, moving the cursor away from the scroll bar makes the bar go back to its initial position. Does OS X have a similar function? It is useful when looking figures during reading a large document.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • DAQmx Quadrature Encoder Initial Position

    Hello, 
    I am building an application that requires trackig the raw counts from a quadrature encoder connected to a NI USB-6212.  In order to count each rising and falling edge of both channel A and channel B, I have configured a DAQmx Linear Encoder Channel for 4X decoding with the units set to ticks.  In order to prevent the counter from rolling over when the ticks become negative, I convert the U32 value from DAQmx Read to I32.  So far this all works as expected.  I would additionaly leik to retain to position of the encoder if the VI is stopped but remains in memory.  For this reason I wire the value of the raw counts to a shift register which is read into the initial position input of the DAQmx Create Channel VI.  For some reason, the DAQmx Create Channel VI quadruples whatever value is wired to the inital position input.  I solve this by deviding the previous counts by 4 before writing to initial position.  However, the problem occours that if the value of the previous count was not an even multiple of 4, the inital position must be rounded to the nearest integer, causing the count to jump when restarting the VI.  How can I reset the inital postition to the exact value of the encoder at the end of the previous iteration?

    Yes, It does. In 1X decoding mode, the starting count equal to the supplied initial position, but then I only count 1/4 of the pulses I expect to see.  Perhaps I am misunderstanding the meaning of 'inital position'?

  • TS1424 The apps "I play 3D Bowling" can not plat after installing whick only make a blank screen and then return to initial position.

    I have bought a game apps "I Play 3D Bowling" that I can't play the game when I press the icon which will return to initial position . I try many times to delete & install again & again but unsucessful.

    Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
    Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
    Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

    Hi Preran,
    Sure, I can share with other users but I am not sure this solution was the best, but it works for me.   Somehow something about Dreamweaver is very complicated to use and understand- just in my opinion.  All I did was to add another div box outside of the 3rd text box which I created as div box (also did it for the 2nd text box since they aligned close to each other).  I know it shouldn't be needed since the text box is already a div box itself and my 1st and 2nd text boxes were okay.
    Preran- please see my other question posted and maybe you can help?  Thank you.

  • Signature position in Preview 8.0

    After upgrading my macbook Air 11"  to Yosemite and consequent upgrade of preview to 8.0, realised that when I add signature to a pdf, it appear in the middle of the scree and of a particular size, which I need to drag to the required position and reduce the size of the signature.. in old version it allowed the use to choose the location to insert signature..
    I tried manage signature, it does not give me option to set the size of the signature neither the choice to set the user define location of the signature.
    Its so inconvenient to drag and reduce the signature everytime..
    I am assuming all other users are also facing the same/similar issue.. Can anyone help in resolving this issue..

    That is the way it is. Welcome to Preview 8.0

  • Why does my playhead return to the initial position when pausing/stopping playback after playing from beginning?

         How do I prevent the playhead from returning to it's original position after pausing or stopping with the spacebar or k button?  With either the skimmer on or off, whenever I pause or stop the **** playhead will always return to the position it was last at.  I don't understand why neither of the shortcuts would just stop the playhead at the point that is being played at.  This may seem like an extremely edgy way to go about editing, but I might actually wish to pause the playhead at any given moment and position my playhead nearby said moment before creating an edit point (without having to add a marker and return to it with the blade tool, or take note of the specific duration and use the duration control to go to that specific point or any other unnecessary steps when doing a rough cut).  I simply would like the playhead to pause/stop at the moment I press either keyboard shortcut.  After the many attempts at trying to make FCP X work for me and the many "workarounds" by FCPX enthusiasts, it's disheartening to know that most other editors in my circle who make a living doing paid commercial work are wondering why I've decided to take a break from using CS6 (and it's integration with the industry-standard AE) to give FCP X a shot, all to make very simple tasks like the one aforementioned a mystery...  any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your response Luis and for your previous help (regarding multiple selections being added to the timeline in reverse order when working in list view in the event browser).
    Yes i've trashed my preferences, but I should be more specific as to what I am actually doing.  Because I am working from my macbook pro and do not have a "home button" which was the original shortcut to "play from/go to beginning" and because I did not like the replacement shortcut in FCP X to play from beginning (without a home button it was something like Function + Shift something else on a laptop) I became used to Adobe Premiere CS6 and made the return key my "play from beginning" shortcut.  It was available and did not have a use by itself (only to confirm changes/choices), did not effect it's use in conjunction with other shorctus so I choose enter as my "play from/go to beginning"...
    So when I play from the beginning and attempt to pause or stop the playhead, regardless of how I choose to do it (spacebar or k) it does not stop at that specific instance and always returns to where it previously was.  This seems very confusing and inconvenient, I would hope at least one of these shortcuts would actually stop the playhead where it was at that moment where I press stop or pause.  It's extremely frustrating knowing that I cannot pause the playhead where it's playing if I choose my "play from beginning" shortcut.
    Also since you seem to be a guru and an expert, i'd like to know if you cut with FCPX on a laptop and what shortcut you use whenever you'd like the playhead to go to the beginning of the timeline, end, etc since there are no "home" or "end" buttons on a laptop....
    Thanks a million, talk soon...

  • Initial Positioning of RowIterators

    I have a fairly large hierarchy of Master/detail view Objects like:
    ViewObject1
    ->ViewObject2
    --->ViewObject3
    ----->etc...
    My swing/Jclient app starts with a search to find the correct row for ViewObject1 and that row gets set to the current Row. Now when I go to view the other view objects their iterators are still positioned before the first row, (they show no data).
    Is the only/best wayt o get them to automatically be on the first row to go through and set all the detail view objects to their first row, when I set the current row of
    ViewObject1? Doing this works, but it seems as if there should be an easier or more maintainable way to accomplish this
    Jeff

    For performance reasons, if you've not 'executed a detail' it's not actively synced up with the master.
    You may want to execute the detail row (or set it to first) the first time by checking if the detail's current row slot is not RowIterator.SLOT_VALID

  • Get the whole slide in the preview?

    I use builds in my slides, where one line appears with each click. Powerpoint shows the slide in its entirety on my secondary monitor, but Keynote shows only the next line. Is there any way to get Keynote to display everything on the preview slide?

    See benvu's comment above. I found this thread looking for a solution to the exact same problem. Say you want to animate an object such that it appears from off-slide and ends up in a pre-defined place. You do it by using an 'action build' on the object, of type 'move'. But because the slide itself is always jammed into the upper left-hand corner of the canvas, it's extremely awkward placing the initial position off-slide to the left or top. You can do it by first placing it and animating it fully on the canvas, then move it off the canvas - but you can never grab it back afterward to reposition it.
    For those of us who love Keynote because it allows us to create cinematic presentations that are more artful communication than bog-standard bullet points spinning in from space (+à la+ PowerPoint), this sort of technique is invaluable and oft-needed.
    I, too, have posted a 'feature' request (or rather, a 'bug report').

  • Copy paiste objects into the exact position!

    helllo forumers.
    i have 2 questions about the copy paiste command.
    1st) question is i have multiple objects on one layer circles rectagnles and so on,im trying to copy paiste one of those objects onto a new layer.but it wont
    be paisted on the exact same position,rather its moving into the middle of the art board,is there a way to copy paiste an object onto another layer and retaining its initial position on the art board?
    2nd question is there also a way to copy paiste from illustrator into photoshop and also the object to fall into place where it sohuld be located,initial posiiton
    thats on the illustrator art board to be paisted onto the photoshop art board.cos again i have the same problem the object gets paisted onto the middle of the
    photoshop artboard and then i have to do the nudging myself.
    thank you.

    hello steve.
    1st question solved pretty quick i may say.
    the 2nd question is a lttle bit confusing,is there a link i can see of this demonstration?
    thank you.

  • How to move a layer to a X/Y position with VB/DOM ??

    Hello,
    I try to move a layer on a picture to a position X/Y. Up to now, I'm only able to move for a relative mouvement from initial position, but I would like a move with the corner of the picture as reference.
    The need : To place on the doc1 (big doc) a small picture (doc2). I use copy/paste to have the small picture as a new layer on the big picture
    I use VBA-excel to open Photoshop and run the differents step.
    What I suceed to do :
    PS = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")       ' Launch PS : OK
    'Open the 2 doc (doc1 : big picture, doc2 : small picture) : OK
    'go on the small picture and select/copy the picture : OK
    PS.activedocument = PS.documents(2)
    PS.Documents(2).selection.selectall
    PS.Documents(2).selection.copy
    'go on the big picture and paste as a new layer : OK
    PS.activedocument = PS.documents(1)
    ps.documents(1).paste
    'find the information about the new layer : HERE IS THE PROBLEM
    'move the layer in the correct position after compute the need move : OK
    ps.document(1).translate 20,20
    I found this information for another script language
    >var currentBounds = targetDoc.activeLayer.bounds;// get the bounds of the layer - which is the activeLayer of the targetDoc
    >var offsetX = new UnitValue( newX-currentBounds[0].as('px'), 'px');// the required offset needed for move
    So I think it's possible to get the bound of the mayer, but I don't know how to write it in VB
    The other solution is to find a "translate" method which use the destination point x/y without using initial position (absolute coordinate), but i don't find this kind of method.
    Thank's for any help

    Oh, it's not what I'm looking for then I've got a complex script parser
    which is fully multitasking and re-entrant so I can run multiple scripts in
    parallel. (The scripting languauge is just a high level access to some
    functions of my program so that non-LVers can still have a degree of
    programmability)
    Currently every time I call my re-entrant SubVI I have to pass it its own
    VI Reference from the Open VI Refere
    nce with "prepare for re-entrant" bit
    set.
    Is there an equivalent constant anywhere "Current VI's VI Reference"? Of
    course I can't reference by path, as I can have 20 of the same VI running,
    all with their own Reference and execution space. It gets very messy when
    my VI calls itself, or I have to pass the reference to other places.

  • How do I control read start position in a very large file where start byte position may be larger than I32 (+/- 2^31)?

    Using LabView, I am trying to read a very large file which may be on the order of 2^32 bytes. I need to be able to step into the file at a byte position which may be greater than the I32 limit set by the read file.vi. Are there any options to the read file.vi or a method of circumventing this limitation?

    I'm not sure but i think that you can manage the "pos mode" in the "seek" sub-vi.
    The "pos mode" let you choose the initial position to add the numbers of bytes you want to move.
    I think that you can add a i32 number from the "initial" in the "pos mode" an latter use the "pos mode" in "current" to add another value. Then the next time you can move more than 2^31 bytes to the initial position.
    I hope you understand my idea, i wasn't try it before, but i think that would work.

  • Initializing the iterator in a loop - pointing to the first value

    I have two iterators defined as given below. And I am trying to find if they have the same words remove it. It is working fine with the first set of words from the next. When I complete my fist loop and start the second one, I need to initialize the first one to the "0" position. When it finishes with the stop words list and takes the next word from the text, it just starts from the next word in the stop word list. How do I do that ? since Iteratort does not have any further methods than hasNext, next and remove ? what can be done here to point the iterator to the frist position. (As mentioned in the code with the comments).
    Thanks in advance. Please advise.
    Iterator itrText1 = alText.iterator();
              Iterator itrWords1 = alOfStopWords.iterator();
              while (itrText1.hasNext())
                   Object text = itrText1.next();
                   System.out.println("Entering first while \t" + text);
                   //Need to make the iterator go to the initial position
                   while (itrWords1.hasNext())
                        Object sWords = itrWords1.next();
                        System.out.println("Entering inner while \t"+ "Comparing words are " +
                                                                          sWords + "\t" + text);
                        if (text.equals(sWords))
                             System.out.println("Entering if");
                             itrText1.remove();
                             System.out.println("Removed" + text);
                             break;
                        }// first if
                        System.out.println("Exiting if");
                   }// inner while
                   System.out.println("Exiting inner while");
              }//outer while
              System.out.println("Exiting outerwhile");

    If I understand what you are asking, you need to move the initialization of the second interator inside the first loop, as follows:
    Iterator itrText1 = alText.iterator();
              while (itrText1.hasNext())
                   Object text = itrText1.next();
                   System.out.println("Entering first while \t" + text);
                   //Need to make the iterator go to the initial position
                    Iterator itrWords1 = alOfStopWords.iterator();
                   while (itrWords1.hasNext())
                        Object sWords = itrWords1.next();
                        System.out.println("Entering inner while \t"+ "Comparing words are " +
                                                                          sWords + "\t" + text);
                        if (text.equals(sWords))
                             System.out.println("Entering if");
                             itrText1.remove();
                             System.out.println("Removed" + text);
                             break;
                        }// first if
                        System.out.println("Exiting if");
                   }// inner while
                   System.out.println("Exiting inner while");
              }//outer while
              System.out.println("Exiting outerwhile");
