L&F change 'features'

I am finalizing a Swing application and one feature is that the user can set the L&F from a menu. I have found two 'features' which seem weird.
1) A JTree which has a home grown D&D TransferHandler added. When I change the L&F the TransferHandler is replaced by the default TransferHandler!
A workaround is easy � I just overload the JTable.updateUI() method so that it re-installs the home grown D&D TransferHandler.
2) Similar to the first � A JTable with a home grown Renderer. When I change the L&F the Renderer is replaced by the default Renderer! The workaround uses the same mechanism as in 1). It is interesting that the header renderer does not revert to the default when the L&F changes!
Now, my question is � would this be expected behavior and if so why?

There are more (and I cant remember them all). I
encountered them when doing a similar sort of thing -
that is allowing dynamic L&F updates (well, schemes
of a particular L&F).
One of them was using a DefaultTreeCellRenderer - it
did not act upon UI updates properly.Since a cell renderer is not part of the Swing component tree I expected problems with them so I took pre-emptive action and made sure I created new ones.
>
Also, you'll have an issue with JPopupMenu's that are
not attached to windows in any form - I had to
explicitly call update the UI of this upon show.I met this one and took pre-emptive action. Again, since the unattached JPopupMenu will not be part of the Swing component tree this makes sense.
>
Also JToolbar had a huge problem - I had to implement
my own version of
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI to ensure that
the components were updated before the toolbar
itself. This problem may be related to the 3rd party
L&F I use however.I have not met this one. I will bear it in mind for the future.
>
Yeah, so basically, beware :)Yes, beware! The one that concerned me was the D&D problem. I still can't see why this happens.

New and changed features in Adobe Media Encoder CS5

Someone said on the Premiere Pro forum that they didn't know what was new and changed in AME CS5. So I wrote this:
http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2010/10/new-and-changed-features-in-adobe-media -encoder-cs5.html

I would like to also add that AME CS5 does a much better job at deinterlacing than CS4, the resulting files are much sharper, especially with text/titles.

Not letting me change features

So I just renewed my plan and upgraded my phone.
Activated the phone friday and works fine etc..
I logged onto my account just and was trying to get to the section where you can change features, like you can pick text package, insurance, roadside assistance etc... but I cant seem to find it.
I f I pick change features it brings me to a page where I can click a link to see me features, but I cannot find anyway to change them.
Not sure if its because of the recent renewal or what, but I tried friday and then just now sunday morning with no luck.
Do they not allow me to edit features anymore?

Hello bobbyd3,
I can certainly look into the issues that you are having with My Verizon. I was able to successfully access and change features on several accounts today. Your issue maybe related to how you are setup online. Feel free to send me a private message with your mobile number or account number & I can confirm your online access.
Thank you...

Feature Request: support for Word's Track Changes feature

I love the iPad and Pages lets my wife and I use it to some extent for our jobs. However, the most useful feature for me in a document reader/creator would be the ability to track changes and have it be compatible with Word. I am a college professor, and I use this feature almost daily when grading student papers. If this were available on the iPad version of Pages, I could truly leave the laptop at home.

Why would it need to be compatible with Word? Why not use Pages' Track Changes feature and print the final version, with the comments and markup visible, to PDF? This is what I do. And it works just fine. I get a student once in a while who doesn't have Adobe Reader installed, but I have a FAQ item for that in the online course shell.

How to change feature id in an existing Visual Studio solution

I have created a Visual Studio solution containing all the required design elements (like master pages and user controls) that I would be re-using in all my new applications. I created a visual studio template using (File -> Export Template) and I am
able to create new solution based on it.
I have changed the assembly name, solution id with new Guid. The problem is with Feature Id. I noticed that even when I changed the feature id and id (in feature.xml) with new Guid it still overwrites the existing feature already deployed on the farm instead
of creating a new feature.
Please advise whether it's possible to re-use a visual studio template with existing features.

Hi,
Try to create the new blank SharePoint project and include these features or create new feature and update the feature.xml file with old feature.xml content except the scope and feature Id in the new feature file.
So you'll get new assembly to be deployed on GAC.
You cannot change the the SharePoint's default feature id and their's scope.
May be the assembly binding or redirection is not working as expected in the old assembly name.

Remove 'name change' feature in AC 10 PSS section

I have configured AC 10 recently, while checking the password reset feature I found "name change" option in that section.
I found it strange, that users can change the name (sap user id) of themselves in SAP backend systems. I think users should only reset the passwords, and not be able to change their user id. As we are using SSO with other applications, changing the user id by users himself will be an issue.
Is it possible to remove or make the "name change" option invisible to the user.

Have a look at the IMG HELP INFORMATION for the Mainatain End User login page via sprouts to hide links. There have been posts about customising to hide links
Within CUP as well you can set challenge response for password and/or name change

Track Changes Feature

Is there or will there be a track changes-like feature or an
ability to compare different versions of the same document?

No specifics on a timeframe, but yes a 'diff' feature like
you described is on our list of future enhancements.

Does Verizon change features of Avast security software?

Avast has mobile security software. In their FAQ's, there is the following statement: "yes, Avast Free Mobile Security is supported on official releases of Android 4.x(Ice Cream Sandwich/ICS) but some vendors are changing it for their purposes and in this case you can experience unwanted behavior."
Is Verizon one of those "some vendors", and if so, do they make any changes to the functionality of the Avast software? There are some great features to Avast, but I want to make sure they are not compromised before I commit to it.

Verizon does a lot of things that are questionable, yet changing the characteristics of a Security Software is even beyond them. What you are seeing on Avasts post is the Android OS is put together as an OS. Avast is geared up to working on this OS as it is built. Verizon (all of the cell phone companis do it) tweaks the OS to meet their needs in effect changing the OS itself which can cause problems with a security software working correctly on it.
Lookout Mobile is rated as one of the best Mobile Antivirus programs on the market. It is Free (they do have a paid version as well). AVG has a great Anti Virus program as well for Android and both of these actually work on Verizons phones

Change feature to no default

Hi all
I have been asked to change a feature from having a default value to not having one. I am not allowed to delete the feature so my question is (and it might be simple to you guys) what is the coding for no value at all? In my feature the possible values are 1,2 and blank. Blank is not the right choice. It should really be no value at all.
Right now there is one record with the operation: &DKDAV=1,
It is this operation I want to make me give no value.
How to do this?
-Regards Jesper

Hi,
Deleting it may give me some issues.
Do you really mean may or is is that it will give issues.
If it's the first thing, I'ld advice deleting it and make sure whether it makes a difference or not.
If otherwise, I think you're in bad luck since the "blank"return value which I normally use (and which you have tried) to have no return value, is actually a value which is accepted in the IT.

Cannot Upgrade or change features online

I've tried a couple of times the last couple of days and I can't get to the Upgrade & Renewal Center at Verizon Central. I always get the message:
We're sorry. We are experiencing a temporary problem and can't continue your order at this time.
Please try again later.
Or, if you need immediate assistance, you can call your Verizon local business office.
I called the number described, they could not help, but they gave me another # to call. That number could not help, they were online support and said that I needed to talk to the order desk people, they gave me another number to call. I called them, they could not help and said the only support was online chat of the forums. The online chat doesn't seem to work, so I'm trying here for help.

New bill posted online, but still no change, even though it reflects all the changes in my account. I may need to wait for the billing notice to go out, even though it is posted online. Correct or not, I only see some minor issues. I will still need to go the Billing Department, then Eservices route, and then spend hours on this. Perhaps not that long.
I will keep you informed if I find out any helpful information. I would say issues account related need to be addressed on an individual basis directly with Verizon, but if it is an issue with their web site and billing department, then E Services should fix it.

Word blacks out text; possibly related to Track Changes feature

(also posted to Microsoft Answers forum, but I suspect that this is going to need Pro assistance!)
I was editing a 150+ page document in Word 2007 (on Windows 7 PC with all updates applied). I'd already been working with the document for several hours when suddenly large chunks of the document were blacked out. Paging up or down eliminated the problem
momentarily, but further edits caused it to happen over and over again. Some squiggly underlines show through the black, but little else. We realized that it was happening when I had Track Changes on and displayed the changes in balloons rather than inline;
when I moved the mouse into the area where the balloons were displayed, that's when the text was blacked out.
We figured that the document was corrupted. However, this is also happening now with another document that's much shorter and far cleaner than the first one. The problem also occurs on PCs other than mine. I opened a clean template, pasted the
unformatted text from the source document into the clean template, and the problem persists in the new doc, so I don't think it's a problem with the documents -- or at least not solely.
We tried this on a newer PC with a ramped-up video card and got the same results. It has not happened (near as we can tell) with Track Changes turned off, but I must track the changes I make so working with TC off isn't an option.
Before anyone asks, I cannot provide a copy of any of the documents because they are strictly confidential.
TIA!

Hi,
I have tried in my Word 2007 with Track Changes and I cannot reproduce the issue.
Since you also tried in other files and PCs, so try to open the file in safe mode to check the issue.
For more information about safe mode, please refer to the link:

Is there a way to retain the track changes from a Microsoft Word document when working on a IPAD word processing App?

I am going on a work trip and want to be able to collaborate with my colleagues, almost all of whom will be using Microsoft Word on Microsoft Windows laptops and I want to draft and collaborate on documents. The approach we always take to such collaboration is to use the track changes feature in Microsoft Word that shows changes and who made the changes.As best I could tell apples Pages software ignores the notations added by the track changes features and accepts all changes to the document making it difficult to see what changes were made and by whom.
I would appreciate any suggestions to address this challenge.

I noted from some similar topics that Pages seems to support track changes but that while it reflects deletions made in Microsoft Word, it does not appear to show them -- is there a way to fix this problem?

Track changes showing multiple entries for a single change?

Hi there .. I'm using Pages '09 v4.1 to edit MS Word '97 documents. I've been using the 'track changes' feature to work on chapters in a book and have done so with no problems so far (about 6 chapters so far in separate files). I went to start the next chapter and noticed that when I make a single change such as highlighting a word and making it italic, the tracking bubbles will show up as individual entries for every letter instead of for a single word. The really annoying thing is that it's not consistent .. some whole-word changes show up as a single entry, while some show as a few entries but don't necessarily correspond to how many letters are in the word being changed. When I try deleting specific tracking bubbles to see which part of the word they correspond to, it varies. For example, if I put the word "similar" in italics on page one, paragraph one, it shows up as 2 entries. When I delete the last entry, "imilar" will go back to standard font, while "s" stays italic until I delete the other entry. It's as though the words in the document are being recognized based on something other than the obvious, and certain letters are being grouped together in the program's brain, while others are separate.
It's not isolated to italics, btw. If I reformat the entire document to be left-aligned instead of center-aligned, it will show lots of separate tracking bubbles in various places through the document, rather than showing one bubble for my single change.
I've tried duplicating and saving a new version of the document, as well as creating a new doc and pasting everything into that and saving as a new doc, though I wasn't sure if this would carry over the problem .. It did.
It's not the end of the world as far as finishing this job, but it's pretty annoying and will be worse for the person who ultimately verifies the changes I've made. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It won't cause any problem.

Features I would very much like to see in Flash CS5

Just a preface: I'm coming at this from the perspective of a professional Flash character animator. I've worked on two TV shows and one big-budget online virtual world/game and I've been using Flash professionally since MX 2004. I've also written a lot of JSFL commands and done a little actionscript programming (I used to be a software engineer, so the programming comes pretty maturally to me).
So with that said, here are some of the things that I'd really like to see in the next version of Flash, approximately in order from more to les important:
3. Stability and user friendliness. Please, guys, spend a little more time on polish and leave off the one or two extra cool features that you were thinking about throwing in.
13. Color management. I can't emphasize this one enough. COLOR MANAGEMENT! Take a look at Toon Boom Studio for what I'm talking about. Particularly in large projects, the ability to have a real color palette, rather than just having each shape have an RGBA value, would be incredibly useful. That way if I decide I don't like the color of a character's shirt I could just change the shirt color palette entry and it would automatically update every shape in the file that used that palette entry. An extra bonus, though less important, would be to be able to control it from Actionscript -- to be able to change a palette entry dynamically at run-time.
5. non-affine transforms for symbols. Particularly, we want trapezoidal/perspective skew! I've heard SO many people talk about wanting this. I was hoping that the 3D stuff in CS4 would allow it, but no such luck. While it's theoretically possible the controls just aren't set up to allow it.
1. Make EVERYTHING in the Flash authoring environment scriptable. Currently there are a number of things that can be neither scripted nor given a keyboard shortcut, (for instance the onionskinning controls).
2. Make Flash remember its maximized status from the previous session (this is a problem in many Adobe products).
4. Real hardware 3d acceleration.
6. Refine the JSFL API to be more thorough and consistent (see also #1). Make it so that everything you can do in JSFL happens in a way that makes sense. For instance, a couple problems I had recently: delete a shape from the stage and then draw a new one with Path.makeShape() and the new shape is created as if the old one were still there (with extra vertices at edge intersections); and Path.makeShape() won't create cubic paths -- it automatically converts cubic contours to quadrilateral ones.
7. Speaking of types of paths: Make the distinction between quadrilateral and cubic paths clearer to the user. Most people I talk to don't have any idea what the difference is, or that cubic paths are likely to produce more vertices than they expect in the final SWF. In fact, I think you should consider ditching the distinction entirely, at least from the user's perspective. Make every path in the authoring environment cubic, and just convert them to quadrilateral (if you must) on export. This'll relieve a lot of annoyance from users unexpectedly finding that their shape they just created very frugally suddenly has three times as many vertices.
8. Make bones work better on raw shapes. In fact, make them work more like Maya: each bone should affect each vertex to a degree decidable by the user. Currently bones affect each vertex either 0% or 100%, which means that, for instance, it's nearly impossible to get a smoothly curving snake.
9. Add at least one new fill style: we have radial blending, but the major one we're missing is the OTHER kind of radial -- with rays shooting our from a center. Perhaps less realistically, I can't tell you how much it would rock to be able to use a path-based color blend -- where the blend actually follows an arbitrary path (like what you can do in Synfig -- www.synfig.org).
10. Add precision to the stage. Currently it's very hard to position things when zoomed in close, and display artifacts are show up on curves, where they get flattened out for no apparent reason. I think the display artifacts are new to CS4, so perhaps it's just a bug that needs to be worked out in the new display engine? But the current situation is a real pain -- where any symbol that's created relatively small will unavoidably contain rendering and positioning issues.
11. A feature that's been missing (and sorely missed by TV animators) since Flash 8 is the ability to smoothly copy and paste from Flash to Illustrator. There's absolutely no reason this shouldn't be an easy task, and I'm still confused as to why it disappeared from MX 2004 to Flash 8. It's extremely useful for applying art brushes to paths or animating 3D door swings in Illustrator and then bringing the art back into Flash.
12. For that matter, what about art brushes in Flash? I realize they would be heavy in the SWF -- either in rendering time or in space used -- but you've already got stipled brushtrokes, and aren't those just as heavy? Art brushes would be INCREDIBLY useful to animators and designers.
14. Engage with the people who use Flash. Get some dialogue going on between users and developers. Most Flash users I meet (admittedly mostly character animators and character rig builders/designers) have very specific wishes for Flash, and for the most part they coincide very nicely. Yet release after release we don't see any of the changes, features, or bugfixes, that seem the most obvious.

Hi there,
I can assure you that the wishlist is monitored by our team. It does not go into a black hole or shredder - the messages are read by the Flash team, and forwarded as needed, and non-duplicate/legitimate bugs are filed.
Some of the things on your list are known. I'll go through the items, and encourage you to send some messages along these lines (I'd recommend one submission per item, but this is up to you).
* Stability and performance: This is definitely still being worked on. You'll see a lot of that work in the Flash 10.0.2 update, and I can assure you it's still a priority.
* Color management improvements: We do have bugs in this area filed, I believe very similar or the same as you have below, but please feel free to your ideas in this area if you'd like to ensure they're covered.
* Transforms for symbols (3D), and hardware acceleration: Should submit this to the Flash Player wishform (which is external, enabling votes) - if they support it, that support can be transferred to the authoring tool. http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/
* Keyboard shortcuts and JSAPI: Please submit any specific requests (exact areas that are missing). For the keyboard shortcuts for UI where they cannot yet be assigned, this would be a separate request (I'm not sure about the feasibility of buttons as opposed to menu items).
* Cubic vs quadratic paths: This is known and is a difference between the authoring tools/UI and Flash Player, and it's the reason for "10" (more precision to the stage). It's not really about artifacts or precision, but about how Flash Player renders curves in general. If you draw in an AS2 document, you won't see the change from curves to flat edges. If you export that document to the Player in AS2, you'll see the "artifacts" you see on the stage in AS3 documents. This is a known issue of the authoring UI and drawing tools, and making this better is really really high priority in my books too.
* Bones: Many issues are known and presently being worked on.
* Fill style: Please feel free to file this enhancement request, I'm not sure if it has been requested.
* Cross-product copy/paste (Illustrator): This is known, but if you have some specific issues or workflows you've encountered and want to make sure its rectified, please send that along.
* Brushes: Definitely requested/known. I'd love to see that too, in particular.
* Engaging with users: Definitely covered too! That's why we have betas (which do include prominent animators), why I hang out here, and so on. We do have designers (I went to art school) and animators on the team too. I know how it feels though - many of the features I'd most like to see can't be added yet, as Flash covers such a broad user base from coders to animators (many releases have left the coders feeling the same way). All I can say is please submit your feedback to the wishlist, and continue to voice up about what you'd most like to see in Flash with the specifics.
Great feedback!
Thanks.

Why am I receiving an error message while trying to change my phone number?

So I have been trying to change my phone number for a few days now and every single time I get this error message, before i even start, "The activity you are trying to perform is currently unavailable. Please try again later." I was hoping to circumvent the 15$ fee of doing it over the phone. Finally, I decided to do an online chat, the associate did not know why the error was occurring but informed me in order to change my number over chat, i would STILL have to pay the 15$ fee. Something struck me as so wrong there, so conveniently the change features and phone number part of the website was not working, however the view/pay your bill part was always working properly, never received any error messages there. I understood it was not the associates fault however. Still that is wrong. If it was not urgent I would wait. Yes I could have tried the number block, that section was not working either, but having to renew which numbers you want blocked every couple of months makes no sense to me, if I want something blocked, i want it blocked permanently not just for 90 days. Yes I tried call/SMS blocker apps from the app store but they're faulty in that they still give you notifications of when the blocked person/number called/text or do not always block everything all the time. But when it came down to it, even the associate encountered the error message while trying to change my number. So why is this happening. Verizon is expensive but the reception is better however theirs always issues when I need to fix something. Its frustrating

Verizon was having a problem on their end, perhaps a server down for some repair or updating. However you were already aware that there was an on-going problem in your own posting and you decided to continue on.I can understand you wanting this done and trying to save the $15.00 fee. However I would have waited a bit longer until the Verizon issue had been corrected. Yes it is frustrating but again you know in advance of a problem , I can understand that this is most upsetting for you but never try to perform any change when a problem is there and I also do not like to do business on a weekend with no live tech support available. I'm sure this will all work out for you if given some time. Sorry.
So I have been trying to change my phone number for a few days now and every single time I get this error message, before i even start, "The activity you are trying to perform is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
