Macworld June Geek Factor - how to modify to multiple desktops?

They lay out a neat Automator/Applescript workflow to set the desktop to a downloaded image, but give no tips on how to modify the script for multiple monitors/desktops. Ideally, I'd like the script to only address one of my two desktops.
here's the section (input is above this segment in Automator):
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
select window of desktop
set desktop picture to file "Tiger:Library:Desktop Pictures:Solid Colors:Solid Gray.png"
set desktop picture to file (input as text)
end tell
return input
end run
ideas? thanks!!

How do I close multiple desktops?

How do I close multiple desktops?

If you are referring to Mission Control, if you hover the cursor over any numbered desktop escept the first one (the one named Desktop 1), an "X" in a circle will appear at an upper corner. Click that, and that desktop will be done away with.

HT3737 How do i add multiple desktops on my laptop?

I can't figure out how to open more than one desktop of my macbook air.

Mission Control – Work in Multiple Spaces
If you want to keep the desktops in a specific order, go to System Preferences/Mission Control and uncheck the box " Automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use." You can also select the box below that so if you open an application, you'll be taken to that space.
If you want to cut down the number of desktops, there is also an option to remove the Dashboard as a desktop and have it work like it did in Snow Leopard. That can be set in System Preferences/Mission Control by deselecting Show Dashboard as a space. You can access the Dashboard by clicking on the Dashboard icon in the dock or using the FN 12 key.

How do I create multiple desktops in 10.8.2 Mission Control?

I've been given to understand that in 10.8.2, Mission Control allows for up to 6 desktops. If this is true, how does one create and maintain them? I can't find documentation anywere--or am I just on a wild goose chase?
Thanks...

I'm not sure what the limit is, but it's a lot more than six.
Move the cursor to the right of the rightmost desktop. A dark "+" (plus) icon will appear.
Click it!

How do you use multiple desktops?

Virtual desktops, workspaces, whatever you or your DE/WM calls them.
I'm wondering how people actually use them. I haven't really figured out a best way to take advantage of them. I tend to just use Desktop 1 and occasionally switch over to Desktop 2 if I need to run something with a large window.
Do you sort applications into different desktops according to type? or purpose? Do you use each desktop for a different project? Is it a de facto sorting, just whatever you happen to be doing at the moment, or are your desktops configured and named according to a specific layout you always use?

I don't use virtual desktops anymore, since KDE 4.x introduced "activities" - a far superior concept for sorting windows and desktop applets belonging to a specific task.
The basic idea is similar to that of virtual desktops:
You can associate windows with an arbitrary tag (basically just a name + optionally an icon) called an "activity", i.e. 'Music' or 'Work' or whatever you want, and then when you switch between the "activities" you created, it always only shows those windows belonging to the current "activity".
However, it goes far beyond that:
A window can't just be either visible on one specific "activity", or visible on all (as is the case with virtual desktops) - but instead, it can be visible (or rather: be part of) any number of specific "activities".
You can not only switch between "activities" (causing all windows not belonging to the current "activity" to be hidden, but still running in the background and therefore consuming CPU and memory), but you can also actually stop an "activity", causing it's windows (and therefore the associated applications) to actually quit. Then whenever you want, you can restart the "activity", and it will bring you back all the applications & windows exactly the way they were when you stopped the "activity".
(Ok, granted, the "exactly the way they were" part only works with applications that know how to properly restore their state, which is true for all KDE SC applications but not true for many non-KDE apps such as Inkscape or Gimp.)
"Activities" don't only track windows, but also contextual information pertaining to the user's current task. I don't think this feature is made use of very much in the current KDE release, but the KDE developers are already implementing lot's of useful per-activity-contextual-information-tracking stuff for the next release (or the one after that), including (I think):
separate (or at least optimized) "recent files" lists per "activity" (everywhere were "recent files" lists appear in KDE)
different sorting of KRunner search results per "activity", to prioritize result items that were most often used or are most relevant within the current activity.
All of this works together flawlessly with KDE's session management, so when you log out of KDE and back in again (or even restart your computer), all your activities, including their state (running or stopped) and their associated windows etc. are left intact.
So all in all, you can create one KDE "activity" for each general activity (i.e. "Music", etc.) or specific project (e.g. "bachelor thesis") you use your computer for, and it will make your life a lot easier...
(Note: KDE additionally still keeps its old-fashioned "virtual desktop" functionality around, since some power-user like to use both concepts orthogonally (i.e. two-dimensional grouping), but I personally think that's a little too crazy ;-) and as mentioned above, I've personally never needed virtual desktops anymore since I started to use "activities".)

How do I view multiple desktops/Spaces in a single screen?

I'm used to viewing a large TV with multiple desktops simultaneously in an operating room. I'm wondering if it's possible to separate a TV I have connected to my early 2011 MacBook Pro into four separate desktops (e.g. dividing the TV into 4 quadrants)? I'm assuming there's no legitimate workup using OS X Yosemite but it'd be great to know if anyone has done this before. Thanks.

Post the code that you used to test the regex. I just tried it and it worked fine for me. All you need to do is apply the regex replaceall to your string variable that holds the string
String test = "Some Text Here";
test = test.replaceAll(" +", " ");
System.out.println(test);And thats it.

Multiple Desktop Windows suddenly not available how do I fix this?

I changed one preference in MIssion Control System Preference - - assigning Dashboard to F5. I then noticed that when I open mission control it shows only Dashboard and 1 application desktop. Also the ways of accessing desktops have been limited to control up arrow and control down arrow. I used to be able to assign control 1, control 2, etc. or control left arrow control right arrow. How do I regain multiple desktops and more ways of accessing them? I'd be most appreciative of any insight or help. Thanks.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

How to modify a pdf?

how to modify a existing pdf document?

Hi kewme5798,
You can edit a PDF file if you have the Adobe Acrobat software
1. Open Adobe Acrobat. From the File menu select "Open." Browse to the document you wish to edit and double-click the file to open it.
2. Add or remove pages by selecting the "Tools" menu on the right-hand side of the page. Select the "Pages" option. Choose the appropriate action: "Insert from file," "Delete," "Extract" or "Replace," to name a few options. For example, to add pages from another PDF file, click the "Insert from file" option and select the file you wish to insert. Follow the prompts to tell Acrobat where to insert the additional pages (before or after the existing pages) and click "OK." Delete pages by the clicking the "Delete" option and highlighting the pages you wanted deleted from the PDF file.
3. Edit the text within the pages by selecting "Tools," "Content," "Edit Document Text." Highlight the text you need to edit and type in the new text.
4. Click on "Tools," "Content" and "Edit Object" to move objects around on the page, resize them, flip or rotate them. You can also edit the size and orientation of images and text boxes using this option.
5. Complete the necessary editing, proofread your changes and click "Save As" from the File menu. Name your document something to indicate that it is a revised version of the original document and click the "Save" button.

How to modify a lookup field-type to use checkbox instead of radiobutton?

How to modify a lookup field-type to use checkbox instead of radiobutton?
I would like to modify the behavior for the lookup field.
Normally you get a screen where it is possible to search through a lookup. The items resulted from the search are listed as radiobutton items. Therefore you can select only one at the time to be added.
Is it possible to have the items to be listed as checkbox instead? So that you can check multiple items and therefore be able to add multiple items at the time?
For example:
To add the user to 10 different groups on MS-AD.
It is desired to have the ability to check multiple groups to be added instead only one at the time.
My client would like to use this feature in many other situations.

Displaying will not be a big deal but with that you have to customize the action class and its working as well.
