KDE desktop icons looks ugly when moving them

If you look at this image: http://i.imgur.com/NGKSX.png you can see the middle icon looks terrible, all the icons look like that when I move them.
What's causing this and how can I fix it? Anyone else having the same issue?

There's not much you can do, there is a patch to folderview plasmoid on http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Fo … ent=140457, but it was for older kde releases..
I tried it now and it doesn't seem to remember the location, showing only your $HOME, maybe you can talk to the dev for an updated version.
...Or, of course, you can submit this problem at bugs.kde.org, hoping it will be fixed soon.

Desktop icons off screen when removing second monitor

Hi there, well I have found a few bugs so far using Leopard so thought I should see if anyone else is getting them:
@ I use a second monitor, and if I remove the monitor, although the rest of the OS resizes to just the laptop, the desktop icons are nowhere to be seen.
@ My USB mouse doesn't work any more.
@ Although I prefer the way the connected servers now work, there is a problem in Finder, where I have to restart Finder to be able to see some connections.
Apart from that I am pretty happy with the speed improvements and there are less bugs for me than I had read about (although obviously as production software you would expect minimum bugs!).

I have the exact same problem, MacBook Pro 15" 2.33 GHz and the same type of Apple display. I use the display at the office, disconnect, bring my PB home, and when I wake it up the PB acts like the display is till connected - no desktop icons visible (although strangely, it shows the Dock and the Finder Menu) until after I restart.
Clicking "detect displays" doesn't work, neither does clicking the highlighted configuration.
My daughter also has a problem with her MacBook and her Apple Cinema display, which has to be set as mirrored or it won't display anything, it somehow isn't detected the way it used to be. Why I mentioned this is because I never had this problem before, and neither did my daughter. It started quite recently, so I guess it is related to a system software update.

Lightroom 3 breaks stacks when moving them

Can anyone else confirm with me that if you move a collapsed stack of images to another folder, that it will only move the top image and unstack all the images? I've tried this is windows and mac. I reinstalled lightroom 2 on a new computer and it does not do this.
Thanks

Same problem using an iMac.
With LR 2 selecting files then moving them with drag and drop moved only the visible files, but when you later moved the remaining members of stacks to the new folder, stacks were still intact.
With LR 2 right clicking on a new folder and selecting move selected files to this folder moved the entire contents of any stack even when lower files in the stack were not visible and selected.
With LR 3, you must open and select every member of a stack in order to move the files and keep the stacking from being destroyed.
Since I have tens of thousands of files in thousands of stacks, I am very irritated with this change or bug and look forward to its repair.

Desktop icons wont open when clicked on

Hi to all Happy New Year just installed Leopard on both of my computers- on Macbook -desktop icons open when clicked on but not on my Imac computer- tried restarting numerous time any suggestions. Any thoughts. Kevin

I have a friend that has the same problem. Seems related to plugging in an external monitor. When she unplugs, her Desktop icons are unresponsive and can't be clicked on. In the Terminal I issue:
killall Finder
and that temporarily fixes the problem. Wondering if there is a permanent fix. Perhaps I'll delete the Finder .plist.

Desktop icons change size when I move the cursor

Intermittently, when I move the cursor with my trackpad, the desktop icons change size—minimize going from 44 to 16 icon size. This happens with the Finder in the foreground or background.
I think there's a fix, but I cannot find it.
All help appreciated,
Bill

Press Command-Option-8. Someone apparently turned on Zoom. (See System Preferences > Universal Access and click the Options button next to Zoom for more information.)

My desktop icon for firefox when double clicked wont load the browser?

My firefox browser wont load when clicking the desktop icon...i have uninstalled and reinstalled ( i have done this 3 times) and it will work for a day then it doesnt work again. Im at my witts end and im about to go back to IE.

i think i figured it out, at least for now. I installed Adobe reader about a week ago so i could retrieve my w-2's, and i dont think Fire fox liked it. I uninstalled Adobe reader and fire fox and then reinstalled fire fox and all seems to be well again. We will see...Thanks

Try placing a background color behind your object that matches your web site.

Since last update desktop icon are unstable when closing firefox and firefon doen't release immediately

A recent update to Firefox caused my desktop icons to become unstable and Firefox will not release immediately after closing the program.

Thank you so much wchp, this is brilliant. I have had this annoying problem for a long time. I eventually rang Mac support, they did not know how to fix the problem as you have suggested so they instigated many hardware replacements which eventually left my iMac severely crippled. They eventually replaced it with the latest model. But I spent two months working with a disabled computer which really interfere with my work.
Your solution appears to have solved my problem, at least so far, but I am hopeful that it is a permanent fix. I hope that your suggestions are taken up by Apple support. This may solve many users problems and avoid Apple making expensive fixes that don't actually work.
I thought that the new iMac would not have the 'Wake up from sleep by painting in the login window' problem but it did, this really annoyed me. Anyway now the problem appears to be solved, it's not I will repost and keep working on it. Thanks again.

Desktop icons/Folders - unable to move them

Sometimes I want to move a folder somewhere on my desktop. When I move the icon/folder it always snaps back to the upper right hand corner of my screen.
How can I turn this alignment feature off and on?
Thanks...

In the Finder select menu item View -> Show View Options. Look at the "Arrange by" setting at the bottom of the window.

How can I preserve the date and time of photos when moving them from iPhone to iPhoto and then to other folders on my computer?

In the past I’ve had no problem moving photos from my iPhone 4 into various folders on my computer while retaining their original date and time. I would import into iPhoto, then drag the photos from iPhoto into other folders via the Finder or Adobe Bridge (which is my principal image organizer). The original date and time of the photo would always travel with the jpeg into iPhoto and then into other folders. However, sometime during a recent session transferring photos in this way, the dates of the photos started to change at the point when I copied them out of iPhoto. Within iPhoto itself, the various original dates of the photos are retained. But in Finder and Bridge, copies of those same photos all carry the same (worthless) date: the date and time that they were imported from my iPhone. I can’t figure out what would have changed on my Mac to make it start re-dating my photos. I was happily dragging and dropping photos, and suddently I started to lose the original dates. Did I inadvertently change some settings? (I am running OS 10.6.8 and using iPhoto 8.)

(I use iPhoto only to import from my iPhone; I organize all my images, including thousands of RAW files, in folders on a big external drive.)
Why are you using iPhoto at all? use image capture or drag and drop the photos
The problem is that the files I am copying are getting stripped of the EXIF metadata
eliminating iPhoto from your work flow will eliminate one oppertunity to have this happen For photos in iPhoto it is best to export them rather than drag an drop them - this assures your EXIF and IPTC data is correct and uptodate
Why would I be able, over many years, to retain EXIF metadata in photos imported from an iPhone--then one day find that the same workflow strips such photos of EXIF data?
Because exporting is the supported way to "export" photos - I never drag and drop photos out of iPhoto and I never use thrid party programs on the photos in the iPhoto library - try exporting as suggested above and see if that is the solution

Disappearing widgets when moving them onto image slider composition

I am trying to figure out why when I have a multi-image composition slideshow that I place the social networking widgets on to, they showed up on each image as it went through the slideshow.
Now, for some reason when I just relocate the widgets that are on top of the same slideshow composition, they lock themselves to just THAT particualr image in the show now. I need/want them to continue to be on top of all of the images as they display over each image as it rotates in the composition.
I am sure its simple, but I can't seem to find it. I have the same problem with more than just widgets, but all are associated with keeping them on TOP of all images that show in a slideshow.
Not sure if this is a bug or not.
Thanks.

Here is what I would do:
Import images in Lr. Then immediately after import, all images are displayed in <Recent/Previous Import> - Grid View.
Let's say there are altogether 5 different people in various combinations on all of these images.
I'd select all images that show John and create a new keyword "John" that is then immediately added to these images.
I'd select all images that show Anne (even if they also show John) and create a new keyword "Anne" that is then immediately added to these images.
Some of these images have only one keyword "John" or "Anne", some have both keywords.
I'd select all images that show "Carla" (irrespective if they also show Anne or John or both) and assign the keyword "Carla" to them.
Etc.
I'd probably would create these keywords under a new keyword that would have the name of the Event. So my keyword list would look like this:
- John's birthday party 2013
- - John
- - Anne
- - Carla
- - Jeff
- - Kent
Naturally you could also create keywords such as "John & Carla", "Carla & Anne" .

Users inconsistent when moving them from one org ID to another.

Hello experts,
We are using SRM 5.0, and every time I move a user within the organizational structure it renders them useless.
When I check users_gen -> Check user and employee data I get the following:
Error: Business partner for <USERNAME> is missing or contains errors
And, at the right, on the column "Object existence/consistency", we get a red light.
Is there a solution for this issue?

Gilberto Gallardo

Hi,
Please check in BP relation in BP transaction, for the BP of the user .
Go to BP transation --> enter the BP number of the user --> click on start --> double click on the result --> now click on 'Relation' button
If we don;t have any relation then this is the issue.
If we find more than one relation then this is also an issue.
If we find one entry --> now double click on the entry --> check whether
any error. If there is any error, related to address please correct the address of org. to which the user is connected.
If there is no relation in BP relation, try to recreate it with the following steps, (this can be applicable only if HR Replication - OFF)
For this purpose, position the cursor on the business partner of
the user, select the context menu with the right mouse button and select
'Delete -> Assignment'. Memorize the business partner number and then
assign the business partner to the position again. To check your
changes, start Transaction USERS_GEN.

Desktop pavillion 6510y wont hold desktop icons in place

every time i place a desktop icon (short cut) on my desktop where i want it, when ever it is restarted, or shut down and then it is restarted and comes back up, all those icons are always right back where this computer wants em to be, not where I want em to be!!! Is there any way this can be solved to make the desktop icons stay where I want them to be placed and STAY THERE?
Always right back all on the Left side of the screen usually....

Hi angiej,
See if this works:
If you're using windows 7, right click on the desktop and click personalize. On the left, click on change desk top icons, a new box opens. Un-tick the Allow themes to change desktop icons box.

Desktop icons disappear (and don't return) if switch halfway to a new desktop.

If I only swipe halfway to a new desktop (using the trackpad) and then let go to return to the original, my desktop icons disappear. To get them back i have to either killall finder, or switch to another desktop then switch back.
