Logging open and close of documents?

I'd like to have a record of when I open and close documents, so that I can support my diary notes of jobs I've been working on. So I need to have the filename recorded. I can find an app' to log application usage; is there one for file usage ?
regards, alan

Hi, alan.
This search of VersionTracker reveals two apps that track document time. Of the two, T3, looks exactly like what you want, but it is expensive. Check out the developer's site
Active Timer may be more to your liking: it can track time at the application window level and is free.
You can investigate other solutions by searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff. Try searches for time track and look at the various options each provides.
Good luck!

Pages 09 document; open and close many times; right way with Lion?

I have a 106 page document that increases in size on a daily basis. With OS 10.7, iWork/Pages 09 on my new, iMac, it's common that I lose as much as two sentences after the document is closed and re opened. After 10.7 was installed the document was closed using Command - S, and subsequently closed by pulling down File and selecting Close. - Not the way to close; the red button was so easy with 10.6. IS UNINSTALLING LION THE BEST SOLUTION?
And yes, I've read the sorry jibberish in the Pages 09 manual - which doesn't say how to open and close repeatedly a document with Pages 09.
So, with the Lion - the worst ever of spending $30, is it necessary to do a Command S every time you close? And what exactly is necessary each time you close a document using Pages 09 and Lion? - And about Auto Save; well, what about Auto Save? - The Lion means well for something other than common, understandable, text production. -- How about a separate application of Appleworks for text producers like me?

The red button is always available under 10.7 (or 10.7.1)
Under 10.7, press cmd + S once when you create the document.
After that, the system automatically save your changes.
No need for cmd + S.
To close the document we may use :
the red button
cmd + W
File > Close
as it was with older systems.

My iTunes keeps logging me out of the Store as I open and close it.

Before, whenever I closed iTunes, and opened it the next day, I would still be logged into iTunes. But since I redownloaded iTunes, everytime I open and close iTunes, I have to log in to get Album Art and stuff. It's just a minor hinderance, but it's still very annoying. If anybody could help, that'd be appreciated.

Restore the device as new.

Open and Close Posting Period (OB52)

Dear Experts,
My client wants to close the posting period of the previous month.
First I went to transaction OB52 to define an entry From Per. 1 2008 To Per. 12 2009 to open all the posting period for the year. But when the time passes, do I have to manually change the From Per. back to the current month (e.g From Per.1 2008 changed to From Per. 2 2008 and so on)
If this is the case, is there any way to make this a automatic function to do this.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks.

Hi,
You define posting periods in your fiscal year variants. You can open and close these posting periods for posting. As many periods as you require can be open for posting simultaneously. Special periods can be open for closing postings during the period-end closing.
You have the following options for opening and closing posting periods:
- Posting Period Variants: You can specify which company codes are open for posting in a posting period variant. Posting period variants are cross-company code and you have to assign them to your company codes.
- Account Type: You can differentiate the opening and closing of posting periods by account type. This means that for a specific posting period, postings can be permitted to customer accounts, but not to vendor accounts.
- Account Interval: You can differentiate the opening and closing of posting periods by account intervals. This means that you only open a posting period for posting to a specific account.
Path for making the settings for opening and closing posting periods:
Customizing for Financial Accounting under Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Document -> Posting Periods
For detailed example for opening and closing posting periods please refer the link below:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/96/8b300943ce11d189ee0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm
I hope it will help.
If helpful, please assign points.

[bdb bug]repeatly open and close db may cause memory leak

my test code is very simple :
char *filename = "xxx.db";
char *dbname = "xxx";
for( ; ;)
DB *dbp;
DB_TXN *txnp;
db_create(&dbp,dbenvp, 0);
dbenvp->txn_begin(dbenvp, NULL, &txnp, 0);
ret = dbp->open(dbp, txnp, filename, dbname, DB_BTREE, DB_CREATE, 0);
if(ret != 0)
printf("failed to open db:%s\n",db_strerror(ret));
return 0;
txnp->commit(txnp, 0);
dbp->close(dbp, DB_NOSYNC);
I try to run my test program for a long time opening and closing db repeatly, then use the PS command and find the RSS is increasing slowly:
ps -va
PID TTY STAT TIME MAJFL TRS DRS RSS %MEM COMMAND
1986 pts/0 S 0:00 466 588 4999 980 0.3 -bash
2615 pts/0 R 0:01 588 2 5141 2500 0.9 ./test
after a few minutes：
ps -va
PID TTY STAT TIME MAJFL TRS DRS RSS %MEM COMMAND
1986 pts/0 S 0:00 473 588 4999 976 0.3 -bash
2615 pts/0 R 30:02 689 2 156561 117892 46.2 ./test
I had read bdb's source code before, so i tried to debug it for about a week and found something like a bug:
If open a db with both filename and dbname, bdb will open a db handle for master db and a db handle for subdb,
both of the two handle will get an fileid by a internal api called __dbreg_get_id, however, just the subdb's id will be
return to bdb's log region by calling __dbreg_pop_id. It leads to a id leak if I tried to open and close the db
repeatly, as a result， __dbreg_add_dbentry will call realloc repeatly to enlarge the dbentry area, this seens to be
the reason for RSS increasing.
Is it not a BUG?
sorry for my pool english :)

I have tested my program using Oracle Berkeley DB release 4.8.26 and 4.7.25 in redhat 9.0 (Kernel 2.4.20-8smp on an i686) and AIX Version 5.
The problem is easy to be reproduced by calling the open method of db handle with both filename and dbname being specified and calling the close method.
My program is very simple:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include "db.h"
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
int ret, count;
DB_ENV *dbenvp;
char * filename = "test.dbf";
char * dbname = "test";
db_env_create(&dbenvp, 0);
dbenvp->open(dbenvp, "/home/bdb/code/test/env",DB_CREATE|DB_INIT_LOCK|DB_INIT_LOG|DB_INIT_TXN|DB_INIT_MPOOL, 0);
for(count = 0 ; count < 10000000 ; count++)
DB *dbp;
DB_TXN *txnp;
db_create(&dbp,dbenvp, 0);
dbenvp->txn_begin(dbenvp, NULL, &txnp, 0);
ret = dbp->open(dbp, txnp, filename, dbname, DB_BTREE, DB_CREATE, 0);
if(ret != 0)
printf("failed to open db:%s\n",db_strerror(ret));
return 0;
txnp->commit(txnp, 0);
dbp->close(dbp, DB_NOSYNC);
dbenvp->close(dbenvp, 0);
return 0;
DB_CONFIG is like below:
set_cachesize 0 20000 0
set_flags db_auto_commit
set_flags db_txn_nosync
set_flags db_log_inmemory
set_lk_detect db_lock_minlocks

IE open and close immediately. Can't fix using many methods.

A user reports that can't use IE 8 suddenly.
His PC is Windows 7 Pro sp1 and using Internet Explorer 8.
Don't know what he did before and he ever tried restore to previous point but no help.
I've tried the following.
1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967896
   Reset Internet Explorer to its default settings or
   Uninstall and then reinstall Internet Explorer through Turning on/ off windows features.
2. Use other user like Administrator to open IE. But result is same
3. Upgrade to IE 11. Still open and close immediately only.
   Repeat step 1 but still not solve.
4. Downloaded IE 11 and installed manually but it stated that IE 11 was installed. (Had turned off IE to uninstall it through Turning on/ off windows features)
Asked him to use Chrome but some websites need IE. So he must use IE too.
Please advise that how to fix it.
Hope not need to re-install OS.
Many thnaks.

1. Are there any traces in Event logs?
2. Try to delete history in IE
3. Try to disable add-ons.
4. If nothing helps, analyze your system with Process Monitor and Process Explorer. Check which programs starts with Autoruns (all programs are from Sysinternals)

How to change the UDT's Status other than Open and Close ?

Hello Friends,
I have created an table of document type and I want to set the document Status other than open and close for eg.R- Released .
Thanks in advance.

I think if you're using a UDF to set this Status for Marketing documents
First you need to set what item corresponds to each Status level you're tryinf to deploy
After that you can use SDK to set this new property or Formatted searches to change the Status you re creating, and save the document as a draft during your process and your status.
But if you're trying to change the fiel Status used on every Marketing document (i mena the system one), you should know that it is impossible 'cause this is an only read system field.
Hope it helps

My macbook is going to sleep while I'm working or viewing something. I will sometimes have to open and close it several times to get it to "wake up" again. Any suggestions?

my macbook is going to sleep while I'm working or viewing something. I will sometimes have to open and close it several times to get it to "wake up" again. Also, no sound comes out of my Macbook. I only hear with earbuds or headphones. Any suggestions?

If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "Previous Shutdown" | tail | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

Finder repeatedly opens and closes in my PowerBook G4

I have been wrestling with this problem for some time. Finder repeatedly opens and closes in my PowerBook G4. When I log in to my Administrator Account, the Finder will repeatedly open and close with a rainbow spinner till the whole system freezes. I have reinstalled the OS and the problem returned. Now, I need to get my files on that account backed up and start over again. The trouble is that I can't access the files because the Finder isn't accessible. I've created a 2nd account, and am in the process of trying to copy the files I need to the new profile, but so far those files are barred. My main concern is why is this happening, and will it happen again if I reinstall? What's the best way to reinstall and start over?

If the second account is an admin one and since the issue is specific to your original user account, you can proceed in two ways. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything on that other account's list from the original account's Preferences folder into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

IChat opens and closes repeatedly

I've seen this come up in discussions a few times but without answers.
iChat opens and closes repeated then tells me I've logged in too many times and to try again later. BUT... this only happens on one particular Airport connection. Everywhere else is fine. Is it the wireless router that is the problem... some compatibility issue? Is that the issue for the other people getting this problem too, perhaps?
Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi,
From that (9C7010) I can see that you have done the Time Machine and Airport Update.
I presume this updates the specs for the Airport Card as well as adjusting the Airport Devices themselves to Apple's version of the latest 802.11n draft spec.
I would have then said that it was effecting the connection presumably as this is now out of step with the firmware on the Netgear, but you say other Internet features work.
First I would delete the com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist from Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences
Then I would see if this Netgear is set to Respond to Internet Pings and has the Block Port Scan and DOS (or SPI) turned Off.
As test I would see if the N spec can be turned off in the Netgear and use the G only.

Ichat opens and closes repeatedly then shows an error

When I go to log into Ichat, it opens and closes over and over again until finally an error comes up saying that I tried to log in too many times, and to try and log in again later.
However, after a few minutes, it still does not let me log in.. Please help !

I looked further into the discussions and found this thread. I tried it and it worked. It might work for you.

Find open and close smart quotes

Dear scripter,
Here I am trying find whether all the open double smart quotes(") are closed with close double smart quotes("). Here is my small work to find how many open and close quotes.
myopenqu=app.activeDocument.search("^{", false, false, "^{");
myclosequ=app.activeDocument.search("^}", false, false, "^}");
myopenqulength = myopenqu.length;
myclosequlength = myclosequ.length;
if(myopenqulength!=myclosequlength)
alert("Quotes not matched\n"+ myopenqulength +" Open quotes found\n" + myclosequlength +" Close quotes found")
It works well, the script just alert if I have 25 open quotes and 23 close quotes
Quotes not matched
25 Open quotes found
23 close quotes found
Now I want to find the quote set where the 24,25th set close quotes are missing?
Is there any way to find the misisng quotes
Thanks in advance
regards

You'd have to look for unmatched quotes, in this case two cases of two open quotes without an intervening closed quote. This is difficult to script in CS2 because it doesn't have GREP natively and because of footnote problems. In CS3/4 it should be possible. But even then it will work only if you don't have quotes within quotes.

There is no FaceTime app for the iPhone if that's what you're asking. FaceTime is accessible through your Contacts as one of the options in how to contact a person -- there is no standalone FaceTime app for iPhone.
If you mean how to disable FaceTime, you can do that in Restrictions (Settings/General/Restrictions).
