Is there a way to set read-only on a file manually?

Is there a secret keypress combo that will allow me to set
the read-only attribute on files in the file inspector window? I
can not use the check-in/out function because, IMHO, it is broken.
Macromedia has given a menu ability to "reset" (turn off) the
read-only attribute but they left out the "turn on" function. Would
certainly help me a lot...anyone?
Thanks!
p.s. in order to defray wasted back-n-forth postings, here is
why it is broken:
1. I run DW8 locally while connected to the network with
mapped fileserver drives (M:, P:, etc)
2. I have the default website set up pointing to our
DEVELOPMENT file server
3. when I do a PUT the files are FTP'd to a different web
server for public consumption
4. the error is that if check-in/out is enabled, the files
are pulled from the PUBLIC web server instead of just opening them
from the DEVELOPMENT server like I clicked on...if I wanted to edit
the live files I would have changed my site pointer to remote
instead of local (good grief)
5. this is bad because everyone else in the company uses that
cr@ppy Frontpage and are constantly editing their division's
webpages, which are in various stages of readiness. When I edit one
of those pages I need to be editing the one they have been working
on, NOT the one that is currently published to the public website!
DW8 is doing more work than I want it to do by going out and
grabbing the published page instead of simply opening the one I
clicked on in the file manager window. That makes NO sense at all,
and as a developer I certainly wouldn't have programmed it that
way...

Dreamweaver will work very well for your purposes. You
shouldn’t have to lock and unlock files manually since the

satisfied that all is well with the site or particular pages, then
someone in a managing position can release or authorize release to
the live site.
The problem is that I am the only person using
DW in the organization, everyone else is using Frontpage...blah...
You and Murray have both alluded to a separate "testing"
server. Perhaps I can make this system work by setting up the
testing server as a duplicate of the development server in my site
manager. Then I would have to manually publish the files from the
testing server to the live production server myself. What a pain!!!
I can not believe that I am the only person in the world that has a
setup like this -- it seems very common to me. I would assume most
government organizations are set up identically as us.

Is there a way to set a default solution .runsettings file in VS2013?

This is a question my coworker asked over on StackOverflow
[here], but hasn't received a single comment or answer. Thought I'd repost it here since I know the VS guys are more likely to see it here...
I'm using VS2013 with the built-in unit test framework. I've created a .runsettings file that sits in the Solution Items folder. When I select Test -> Test Settings -> Select Test Settings File, I am able to choose my .runsettings file and it works
as expected.
When I exit out of VS2013 and then re-load the project, I have to re-select the .runsettings file. Is there any way to set the default .runsettings file at solution level so it gets persisted?

Hi,
I can’t get your issue on my side(VS2012 Update 4 machine and VS2013 Update 1 RC machine). If you are using VS2012, please upgrade it to VS2012 Update 4. If you are using VS2013, please upgrade it to VS2013 Update 1 RC.
When I restart VS and re-load the project, the .runsettings file is still selected
with the Select Test Settings File menu option and .runsettings file is still used when I run the unit test.
I doubt that there is anything wrong with your VS. As I mentioned above, please reset your VS settings through Tools->Import and Export settings->Reset all settings…
If no help, try some other devenv commands to fix:
1.devenv.exe /safemode
2.devenv.exe /resetskippkgs
3.devenv.exe /installvstemplates
4.devenv.exe /resetuserdata
devenv.exe can be located under your VSlocation/Common7/IDE
What your need is to put it to run prompt and add commands to it.
If the issue still exists, please repair or reinstall your VS.
Meanwhie, if you have some anti-virus software running when you work with VS, please close them to check the reuslt.

Is there a way to set the aspect ratio or file type in the camera for video settings?

I always convert my .MOV videos to WMV so I can upload to my web site. However, with my new iPhone (iOS7), the vidoes are distorted due to aspect ratio issues. I'd like to set the output aspect ratio and.or file type when I create a new video on my iPhone 5s.

There is no user setting for this in the native iOS app. It is possible that if you use some other 3rd party app you can make some changes to that, but I'm not sure. There are also no settings for changing the file type on the phone itself.
I've not experienced any issues with distortion on mine, but it could be your converter. Have you tried another one?

Is there a way to filter for only the missing files in a catalog folder or collection?

I don't think there is anything more to be said on this one.

If you go to the catalog tab and choose all photographs and then run the menu command you will see the number of missing photos in the catalog (image below)
You will still need to re-connect them. But if you have moved an entire folder the folder will have a question mark against the name. You can right-click on the folder name and choose Update Folder Location. Then navigate to where you put the folder and LR will update the links for all the images in that folder.

Is there a way to set firefox so it only allows access to only one website / (ip address).

Is there a way to set firefox so it only allows access to only one website / (ip address) and block traffic from everything else (the entire web) other than the one site I want to allow? The site I want to allow is a corporate web application that will only work in firefox. We as a business run a windows server and all client desktops run Internet Explorer with security setting controlled by group policy. We have already locked down the security setting in firefox so users can’t bypass the proxy server settings.

I have a proxy server set up (Symantec.cloud). Fire fox is “locked” so users would find it difficult to bypass it.
I have a file: '''local-settings.js '''
This is located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref
The content of this file is:
''pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // only needed if you do not want to obscure the content with ROT-13
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");''
I also have the file: called: '''mozilla.cfg'''
This is located: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
The contents of this file is:
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 5);
All that is working fine, users can’t easily change the connection settings.
So all that is good and works…
What I would also like to do is set firefox so access is limited to 1 IP address and nothing else is allowed (the whole internet is blocked, except this one IP address).
You suggest using a PAC file - I was unsure how I would use a PAC file, (I have never written one) and do not understand how I would implement one? Please help.

Hello Damien,
There is an option to set a passcode for the entire iPhone. You can use the following steps to set this up:
You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
Once enabled, you will be prompted for the passcode whenever you:
Turn on or restart the device
Wake the device
Unlock the screen
Note: You can specify the amount of time the screen must be locked before requiring a passcode.

Adobe Reader 11.0.07 defaults to duplex printing. Is there a way to set the default to leave that "print to both sides of the page" box unchecked?
I am working on an end-user's computer, I just updated to the newest Adobe Reader and they don't ever print duplex. I want to be able to have the "print to both sides" box unchecked on the print dialog by default. Is there a way to do this? I have the printer settings all set to 1-sided but it is adobe print dialog settings that keep messing it up.
Thanks!

Hi John,
Have you tried repairing Reader and checked?
Does this issue occur only on this machine or are you facing the issue with other computers as well which have updated to Reader 11.0.10?

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match, iCloud doesn't sync music. Just set up every person's devices on a separate iCloud account and your iCloud data and photo stream will remain separated. Each iCloud account will need a separate ID, but it does not need to be the same as your iTunes ID. You can continue to share the same iTunes ID and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud.
You'll also want to use separate IDs for each person for iMessage and FaceTime. This will keep your text messages and FaceTime called separated as well. The easiest way to do this is to have everyone use their iCloud ID for these two services as well.

Is there a way to set Thunderbird to automatically move mail I have read into an old mail folder? If so, pleased explain.

is there a way to set Thunderbird to automatically move mail I have read into an old mail folder?

I would start by creating a filter that looks like the one in the picture, but if you were run the filter automatically when getting new mail, it might behave oddly if new mail arrives while you're reading a message.

Another approach could be to use the Age in Days + is greater than + 1 criterion in the filter.

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
Thank you in advance.

FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).
ecbclb wrote:
Will we have to create a seperate account for her, or can we all have the same one?
You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

Is there a way to set which keychain item is used by default for a site/application?

This question applies primarily to the keychain in Mavericks, but also the iCloud keychain and its use in iOS.
There are several sites and services for which I have multiple logins that serve different purposes. Whether it's because they are business/personal accounts, or accounts that pertain to different functions, I have multiple logins for many sites/services I use daily, however, there is usually one primary account for each that I use for most purposes.
What I would like to be able to do is set which of these logins appears by default. An example scenario might be if I have an "admin" account on a site, and a "dev" account that is used for testing purposes to Q/A the site from the perspective of a user who doesn't have administrative access. Most of my work happens under "admin" but whenever I go to the login page, the "dev" account prepopulates in the login form and I have to start typing admin and select that. It also does this on my iPhone, which is where this issue becomes very cumbersome, because there is no dropdown for me to select which credentials to use to autofill from. It appears to only allow autofill from whatever it sees as the first account to come up, and I can't seem to change that without deleting all the other keychain items that come up ahead of the one that I want. This kind of thing also poses a significant risk of accidents if, say, I have multiple payment methods saved and the one that comes up by default isn't my personal payment method, but a business account that's only meant to be used for business purchases. If that comes up first, if I don't replace it with my personal details, I might accidentally place a personal charge on a business account.
So I really have 2 questions:
1) Is there a way to set the priority order of which account populates a form by default from the keychain?
2) When filling out credentials on iOS, an "autofill" button appears at the top of my keyboard, and I can begin typing in a field and it will show the autocomplete of the username that I am typing, but if I click autofill, it replaces it with the original credentials and not those of whatever I began typing in. If I click on the username it's autocompleting, it just clears the autocomplete. Is there some way to choose which username I'm autocompleting a form with?
Thanks to anyone who has any ideas about a solution to this, and if there isn't, and if anyone at Apple is listening, in an ideal world, it would be like setting the priority order of known wifi networks, where you can drag your first choice to the top of the list.

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Is there a way to set a default "Source Range" in AME when exporting from Premiere Pro CC?

When exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro CC, you are able to toggle between 4 drop down options within Adobe Media Encoder on what Source Range you'd like to export (Work Area, Sequence In/Out, Entire Sequence, Custom) as seen here:
Is there a way to set the default Source Range to something besides Sequence In/Out?
My reason for asking is that sometimes I export multiple sequences at once using AME's Queue. I add my custom presets to each Sequence and hit export, but SOMETIMES I may have accidentally marked an in point on my timeline and by default it's set to export only that In-to-Out part of the sequence.
I know what you may be thinking...well, just don't add any In/Out points to your sequence on the timeline or clear them first. The trouble is that I often don't see them or catch them when working quickly. In Premiere Pro CC, I use the "Lighter Brightness" Appearance setting because it's easier on my eyes after editing 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Sure, darker looks cooler, but it kills my eyes for some reason. Anyway, PPro CC has a troublesome appearance issue in CC where it's not "optimized" for editing when you change it to a lighter appearance like it was in CS6. I've already contacted Adobe about this and another appearance issue (involving highlighted clips when in Lighter Appearance setting) and they are "actively working on fixing this appearance issue asap".
For reference, here's Premiere Pro CC in/out points in default dark appearance (notice the slightly lighter grey area):
Now here's that same in/out in "Lighter Appearance":
Not exactly optimized. Can hardly see it. Good luck spotting that little guy on a long timeline. Sadly, this affects in/out points in the Source Window as well. Really hard to see.
Conversly, CS6 looked the best (the blue REALLY stands out making things easy to see):
So my question again...is there a way to set the default "Source Range" to something else besides Sequence In/Out so that I don't end up doing what I just did and leaving for several hours while batch exporting only to come back and find that I exported only a "portion" of one of my big sequences?
Thank you!

Here is the solution: Slow down. Give your project some love. Smell the roses.
Agreed about the roses but alas my next project always calls. Actually, I think what happens is I give each project SO much love that when it comes to exporting, I've run out of time.
shooternz wrote:
Then it would not be a default...it would be an option and you already have that option.
Semantics aside, I would love to be able to have it at least default to whatever option was last chosen. Or, perhaps I shouldn't use the word default again...I'd love it to simply remember my preferred setting. That's all.
