Is there something similar to Key Caps in OS 10.5?

Call me old fashioned, but after using Macs for 20 years now, there are actually a few things from the old operating systems I miss, like Key Caps. I've found Font Book but is there anyway it can show me the key strokes required to pull up an embedded character? Or do I have to keep the old PowerMac with OS 8.6 going forever?

Is there something similar to a MenuDimmerCallback?

Planning to use menu functions in LV and not having used them till now, I need some conceptual help.
In CVI you can define a MenuDimmeCallback function: a function executed only when the user clicks on the menu bar. In that function you can test program condition and dim some menu items not available or executable in the situation you are. This is particularly useful in that you don't need to update the menu structure every time your program conditions change, but you have to evaluate the actual situation when and only the user shows menus.
Is there something similar in LV?

If I have helped you, why not giving me a kudos?

I haven't worked with CVI but given your explanation, I would say that LabVIEW handles menus a little differently. Under the application control>>menu palette there is a function called "Get Menu Selection". This can be placed in a loop to monitor if a menu item has been selected. Timeout will be false when it has and then you process the selection.
However, this would be too late to use as a trigger to change menu dim because the selection has already been made. What you are asking is when the menu has been selected and no item clicked. In LabVIEW, you can modify the look of the menu any time you wish using the other functions in the menu palette. You don?t have to wait for the menu to be selected.
I hope this helps?

[SOLVED] Is there something similar to FinePrint for Linux?

Hi,
when I was still using Windows, I used a freeware similar to FinePrint (don't remember the name) and it was very useful. So far this is the only application I miss. Is there something similar to that available for Linux?

Stuff means anything that can be printed, so it is not about creating pdf's or something similar. Just to watch and edit what you want to print before you actually print it to paper, and that independent of the program you are using.

After Effects Transform Effect is there something similar in Motion?

Is there a way to something similar to the AE transform effect to offset the motion caused by the displace filter.
Example here:

Starting at time 8:06
Thanks
Andrew

Interesting tutorial, thanks!
Here's a quickie Motion version covering the basic concepts they use. I didn't have a texture handy and I wanted this to be self contained, so I used the Cloud generator. I animated the gradient in a gradient generator to get the wipe, substituted Gradient Colorize for "Colorama", Underwater filter for "Turbulent Displace", used behaviors instead of keyframes, etc...
I hope this gets you started:
Disintegrator Movie.
and the Project.
come back with any questions...

How can I open multiple "non-merged" firefox windows? With IE, I would use the "-nomerge" option. Is there something similar for Firefox?

I use a website in my daily work activities that I need to have multiple sessions of the website open at any given time. Natively, I cannot have multiple sessions open in a single browser (separated tabs or separate windows) without one session taking over the other. Internet Explorer has a command line option (-nomerge) that will allow me to accomplish what I need. The target line of the IE shortcut properties would look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nomerge
Is there a similar solution for Firefox?
I am running Windows 7, IE11 and Firefox 26
Thank you in advance,
Robert

Hello rpvincent, try
* firefox.exe -new-window <url>
(the url is without < >)

Ntrights.exe Windows 2008 R2 Resource Kit Tool? Does it exist or is there something similar I can use?

I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard as a DC
I am trying to add users/groups to the following local policies through a GPO, however I need to script it out using something similar to ntrights.exe. I do not want to do it through the GUI because this is going to be a re-occurring process.
Below are the policies I am trying to configure via some kind of command prompt. I do not think I can do this with PowerShell 2.0 even with the import-module grouppolicy cmdlets.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Allow log on locally
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Debug programs
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Force shutdown from a remote system
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Shut down the system
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Change the system time
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Allow logon through Remote Desktop Services
Would it be safe to copy the Windows Server 2003 ntrights.exe resource kit tool and try it on Windows Server 2008 R2? I am working on a virtual test lab environment so I can actually take a snapshot before hand but wanted your expert thoughts on it first.
Thank you in advance.

I found the solution.....You can actually use "quoted" host names in the templates instead of the SIDs. Make sure that for Domain User Accounts you specify the Domain prefix. For Local User accounts you can just specify the local user name.
The filename of the template that I made is LOCAL_SEC_TEMPLATE.inf
Here's what's inside that LOCAL_SEC_TEMPLATE.inf template:
[Unicode]
Unicode=yes
[Registry Values]
[Privilege Rights]
SeInteractiveLogonRight = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
SeDebugPrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
SeSystemtimePrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins","LOCAL SERVICE"
SeShutdownPrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins","Remote Desktop Users"
[Version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
Revision=1
[Profile Description]
Description=Local Security Template
Here's how I applied the template to the Local Security Policy: (You can use PowerShell or the regular command prompt)
SECEDIT /configure /db secedit.sdb /cfg "c:\LOCAL_SEC_TEMPLATE.inf"
Here's the link on using SECEDIT >> http://www.appdeploy.com/tips/detail.asp?id=23
Thanks for your help Gunter, this issue is solved.

Is there something similar to WinKey+R (Run) in OS X

I have been using Windows for years and I am totally addicted to the WinKey+R key combination which brings up the "Run" dialog. Some common tasks would be:
#launch a command prompt
WinKey+R cmd
#launch MS Word
WinKey+R winword
#launch a console RDP session with a custom resolution
WinKey+R mstsc /v:some_host /w:1100 /h:777 /console
#launch IE and open http://some_url/
WinKey+R iexplorer http://some_url/
I've noticed command+spacebar get me spotlight and I can type something like textedit and that works but I can't type "textedit ~/mydoc.rtf" which is what I really want.
Can I get the functionality I'm looking for?
Thanks in advance.

Don
Quite close to this functionality (plus a whole lot more...) check out LaunchBar. Hit the shortcut (cntrl-space) for instance and type wor and be offered a list of matching items. Use 'wor' for Word three times and it will remember it. Check it out, I can hardly use a Mac without it.

There's Widgets in iBooks--Is There Something Comparable in Pages?

A potential client showed me some sample pages he'd had made up for an ebook. They were done in iBooks Author. One of he things they had in it was a Gallery of photos. That is, a frame with a photo showing and an arrow you could click to move on to the other photos in the Gallery. There was also tiny thumbnails of all the photos in this particular Gallery that cold be clicked on to display a particular photo in the Gallery. There was also a frame that displayedmaterial one frame at a time. And you could advance to a new frame by moving a point along a line to the right.
I presume that each of thee thing was a Widget in iBooksAuthor. Is there something similar in Pages '09 for getting the same effect?

No, which is why there are 2 different but quite similar apps. The shame is that Apple doesn't merge the two.
You could use Pages '09 (not Pages 5) to construct a bookmarked .pdf.
I have done some excellent travel guides very quickly and efficiently using these techniques.

Is there somehing similar to #define (in C) in TestStand

HI,
Many times I need to specify numeric (or string) values in globals. I was wondering if there something similar to #define so you can enter a "name" isstead of a number.
Thanks
Rafi

You can use either a Sequence File Global or a Station Global. If you don't ever change the value, it will be like a constant. Sequence File Globals are global to the sequence file opened and all sub sequences in it. To create one, on the sequence file window, click the down arrow next to Main Sequence. Select Sequence File Globals. On right hand pane, right click and select Insert Global, then Numer or String or whatever type you desire. Then double click on the newly created global and a window pops up that allows you to assign the value. The value remains constant unless you re-assign it. You can access the global by using FileGlobals.XXX, where XXX is the name of your global.
Station Globals are global to all sequence files on that station. Create by going to the menu bar and clicking on View - Station Globals. Again right click on the right hand pane to create one. Assign a value in the same manner as above. Access it by using StationGlobals.XXX. Once a global is assigned a value, and the sequence file is saved, the next time you open the file, that global will retain the value assigned. No need to assign again.

On iOS 5 for iPad, is there a home button key on the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard that will allow you to go to the home screen or multitask? Perhaps by pressing the escape key or something?

On iOS 5 for iPad, is there a home button key on the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard that will allow you to go to the home screen or multitask? Perhaps by pressing the escape key or something?

Sorry, but no one who would know can discuss unreleased software such as iOS 5 in these forums. We'll have to wait, probably for the official release, before such details will be known.

Is there something like the fluxbox menu without fluxbox?

I'm running Evilwm as my wm and very much like the minimalism, but lately I've been kind of missing the menu from Fluxbox.
So I got to wondering if there was something similar out there; i.e. a program that opens a menu on some keycombo (say, control + right mouse. xbindkeys can sort out the details), displays a list of programs that can be launched, and upon either a selection by the user or some escape sequence removes the menu again. Any ideas?

I dunno about a drop-down style menu like the one found in fluxbox, but I guess you could try out using dmenu after binding it to the key of your choice. It's probably not the best option, but it works nonetheless.

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a dell computer at home that has clip art available on it for putting pictures into documents. Do I need to install an APP to get something similar to clip art?

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a desktop computer at home that has clip art loaded onto it. I recently got an iPad and am looking for something similar. I assume I need to get an APP for it, and if that is correct, does anyone have one that they like?

Sort of. There is an app called art shop that gives you a place to park clip art. But I don't think you really need it.
If you have a collection of clip art you want available, move it to the camera roll on your pad/ phone, then copy paste into your document the clip you want.
You can get them into the camaera roll by putting them in a single event in your picture library and syncing them over, or e mail them to your self, and save to the camera roll, or send them to drop box, and bring them down that way.
The challenge is getting them all in one place to make it easy for you to find, which is why syncing might be the best approach in the long run.
As near as I can tell there is not a ready made clip art collection in app format laying around.
