Is it possible to SORT the Login Items on

Is it possible to SORT the Login Items on
Apple - System Preferences - System - Accounts - Login Items?
Useful to load one of them before or after the others.
Thanks?

I don't think you can sort them like that but you can achieve this by using apple script.
for example if you want to launch Mail first and Safari second, paste the following into script editor and save it as an application.
tell application "Mail" to launch
tell application Safari to launch
You can also put a delay between the two:
tell application "Mail" to launch
delay 3
tell application Safari to launch
this will put a delay of 3 seconds between launches. Now remove Safari and Mail from login items and put the app you made using apple script there instead.

If you do not lock that folder immediately after deleting all the contents, it will simply populate again (Resume - a "feature" in Lion). You do that by doing a Get Info (highlight folder and press Command + I keys), unlock the lock at the bottom, enter your admin password, then check the box to lock the folder. lock the lock and you're done.
Yes, that is correct. The alternative is to quit all applications prior to logging out. Lion will then have a chance to remove the saved states.

And, for the OP:
It has also been a regular feature of Mac OS to automatically open any window that was open at shutdown. To avoit that behavior, simply close any Finder windows and properly quit applications by closing their window and using Command + Q (or File >Quit).
This was true only for the Finder. Prior to Lion, no other apps would launch unless they were included in the Login Items for the account. And the OS would not restore windows for other apps.
A very small number of apps (TextWrangler is an example) implemented this capability prior to Lion. They could restore previously opened windows. But that is an application feature, and can be controlled by the application's preferences. Lion implements it at the system level, and users have virtually no control on a per application basis.

Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
Hope this helps

Is it possible to sort the list of Conditions/Calculations?

Is it possible to sort the list of Conditions/Calculations so that they display alphabetically in the list?
My list of conditions is getting quite long and haphazard now!
Cheers
Sapphie

I was afraid of that!. It is very disappointing because , as I am developing a set of reports for the first time, I will create conditions/calculations in quite a non-ordered way and then end up wanting to group similar ones together.
Hopefully a future version will allow this?

Lost & Found playlists
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
If the files still exist on the computer my FindTracks script may be able to help reconnect iTunes to them.

Is it possible to sort the Aperture Library by Lens used

Is it possible to sort the Aperture Library by Lens used? And get statistics on the different Lenses used?
I'm using latest Aperture.

I would just add that your Preferences settings have to be set to show the columns you need. Go to Aperture -> Preferences, and select the Metadata tab. in the "List View Columns" field, for whichever set you have chosen with the radio button, choose the set of data from the pulldown list that shows the fields you want. For example, I have the lens model field set in EXIF-Expanded set. I choose that set and those fields will show in the columns in List View.
Great tips, thanks!

How do I re-order the Login Items?

I would like to rearrange the Login items:
I have 8 items listed, but the server item (10.0.0.x) is near the bottom, and
I think that by the time Entourage and the other items load, the server mount
command times out.
They dont appear to be in alphabetical order- do I need to remove and re-apply
in the desired order?
1. How can I bring the server item to the top?
2. Bonus question: Why does the server show up as "Unknown" in the "Kind" column?
Thanks!

Hi, the "unknown" part is your problem - if it should be your server log-in, then it would be given its name.
See these articles for info.

Try deleting the "unknown", then adding your server again to log-in items.
Best wishes,

Sorting the News Items

Hi all
Can we sort the news items created using Xml Form Builder based on the Title in the display iview? 
We are using the KM navigation iview for rendering the news and the user has to get the options for sorting based on news title,date etc in a dropdown in the top of the iview.
(My problem is similar to the sorting options given for the discussion iview. Similar to the options like sorting based on title,author,modified etc provided for discussions we want the same for the news items also.)
Thanks for any help in advance
Geogi

Hi Geogi,
You can sort the News items based on Title. For this, you have to find out the layoutset of your iview. Then go to System Administration -> System Configuration -> KM -> CM -> User Interface -> Settings -> LayoutSet. Then select your layoutset. There you will find Collection Renderer. Clicking on the collection renderer will take you to the details page of collection renderer. On the details page, click on Edit button and when the form is editable, click on "Show advanced options" link. There you will see two properties, Property For Sorting and Sorting Mode. For Property For Sorting give the value : cm:displayname and select the appropriate sorting mode.
This should do the job for you.
Try and get back.
Ranjith
For your second question, i.e. providing a drop down box for selecting the property on which to sort, I think you will have to go for a new layoutset. I am not sure if you can use the existing layoutset to get this functionality. Anyway I'm not sure about this. Let's wait to see what other SDNers have to say about that.

SIMBL Agent: Why is it in the login items settings?

SIMBL Agent: Why is it in the login items settings?
I don't remember to install it.
Is it safe to unmark or remove it?

Uninstall "SIMBL" or "EasySIMBL" as follows. Back up all data before making any changes.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return. A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
          Application Support/SIMBL
          InputManagers/SIMBL
          LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
          LaunchAgents/net.infinite-labs.SIMBLEnablerForSandboxedApps.plist
          ScriptingAdditions/EasySIMBL.osax
          ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
Log out and log back in. There may also be an item named "EasySIMBL" in the Applications folder. Delete it, if so.
Make sure you never reinstall any variant of SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

Can an AppleScript tell if it was activated by the LogIn Items?

I want to use a single script to act as a StartUp (LogIn) item that does a task automatically and that acts as an app that is clickable with dialog-box options.
So far, I have the script recognize that it's in the StartUp folder or in the loginwindow.plist file, that the other secondary app that the script activates isn't already running, and it checks to see how long the user has been logged in.
I have (do shell script "w") to get minutes logged in. I set my script to run the StartUp portion if the login time is 0 (by way of (if ReadThisSucka contains " --" then). It has worked OK so far, but I'd rather replace it with something more reliable and accurate like this:
if process of login tasks is active
or if thisApp was activated by user "login task doer" then...
*on run*
--Is the other app running?
tell application "Finder"
set OtherAppStatus to (get exists of application process "application2")
end tell
--Is the MagicScript a login item?
set theFileContents to (read file ((path to preferences as text) & "loginwindow.plist"))
--Gets the time logged in
set CurrentDate to (do shell script "w")
--If logged in time is - - then it will act like a startup item
if (CurrentDate contains " - -") then
set BeginUpTime to "1"
else
set BeginUpTime to "0"
end if
--If it is a login item, it will use this app
if (theFileContents contains "MagicScript") and (OtherAppStatus is false) and (BeginUpTime is "1") then
do shell script "wow, I'm a shell script"
else
--If it isn't a LogIn Item, it will do this
if OtherAppStatus is false then
display dialog "To run the function of application2, click App2." buttons {"Cancel", "App2"} with icon 1
if button returned of result = "App2" then
do shell script "wow, I'm a shell script"
end if
else
display dialog "To stop the App2, click Stoppit." buttons {"Cancel", "Stoppit"} with icon 1
if button returned of result = "Stoppit" then
--do shell script "killall App2"
tell application "App2" to quit
end if
end if
end if
end run

I realized that I had two viable solutions:
1. Have the script check and see if it is in the LogIn Items and if the login timer (part of the OS) started less than 1 minute ago.
2. Create a second app for the startup script that automatically starts.
I'd be open to a third option, but this works for now.

Is it possible to delay certain login items?

I would like to try and speed up the launching of OS X. It seems to take quite a bit of time to get started. When I first got my Mac, the startup times were much quicker. However, now since I've added a whole bunch of startup applications, it takes much longer. I generally use all of my startup applications, but I do not need most of them when I first login. Would it be possible to delay the launching of certain applications to speed up my startup time? Are there any programs that do this? I imagine it would be possible to write a script to do this.
Any help would appreciated.

Delete the apps from Login items and simply click on their Dock icons to launch. That will speed up the boot process. Yes, you could probably write a script, but manually launching is the simple way.

Permanent sorting the open items list by document number descending

Hello,
I want to store, that the "Sales -A/R - Sales Report - Open Items List" is allways sorted by document number descending.
I am able to sort the list, but the system doesn't store this configuration.
Next time when I enter the list, I have to sort it again. We use B1 2007A SP01 Patch 7 Hotfix 1.
Has any one an idea ?
Regards.

Is it possible to sort the controls and indicators on the front panel?

Programming events would be much easier in an application with lots of
controls and indicators, if there where a means to sort and group them.
Is there any means to do so such that you see a sorted list when choosing the control that triggers an event etc..?

I am not aware of a way to sort the list of controls (that are listed in the edit events dialog) by name. They seem to be sorted in the order they were created.
I agree, sorting could be useful for large VIs.
