Modifying arrow placement on Collaboration Diagrams

The layouts for collaboration diagrams are a bit odd. The arrow on a message (operation) on a link (connector) seems to always overlap the message name. You can expand the real-estate that the message uses and eventually get the arrow to ride alongside the message, but this doesn't seem right. There are a ton of layout modifications but I can't find one that would help me move the relative location of this arrow.
Has anyone found this?

I just submitted this issue. You can view the issue with the following URL.

Seemingly random node placement on block diagram

When I create an indicator on the front panel, the block diagram node shows up in a seemingly random place. Sometimes it gets hidden. The opposite happens when I create a node on the block diagram. The front panel object placement seems random.
Is there a way to get a container where all things will appear in this box? Can I anticipate where something might show up?
Solved!

Modifying the placement of the breadcrumb links

I created a header in my topic template and applied the
template to all my topics. After generating the WebHelp, I found
that my breadcrumb links would look like this:
<Breadcrumb links>
<Header>
<Topic title>
<Topic body>
instead of
<Header>
<Breadcrumb links>
<Topic title>
<Topic body>
In the output dialog, it looks as if you can only place the
breadcrumb links at the top or bottom of the page. What I want to
do is move the breadcrumb links below the header.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Feldman. You may be able to pinpoint the location of the sleep switch that the magnet activates by moving a small handheld magnet (perhaps a bit of that flexible, cuttable magnetic material used for signs, magnetic business cards, etc.) around over the PB until it goes to sleep. Then take measurements that will help you position the PB's own magnet directly over that spot when the display is closed. I've done this with my Tibook to identify the exact position of the sleep magnet, even though I haven't actually seen the magnet.

Sequence diagram arrows are misplaced

The arrows in the sequence diagram are not in place after few changes to the diagram.
When I draw the sequence diagram for the first time, the tail of the arrow sits on the left side object line and the arrow head to the right side object line. The line is drawn well and in position.
I believe I closed the projects and opened them after few days, and observe all the arrow lines skewed from their positions. The arrow tail now starts much before the left side object line and the arrow head ends much before the right side object line on the right side.
I am not sure if I am clear enough here since viewing the picture may make more sense.

I too have experienced weirdness from the Seq diagram with line placement. Have you tried auto-layout? If you use this feature, just make sure you do a save before because there is no undo.
Right click the blank area of the diagram, select Layout- Properties. There are some setting in there that may be of some interest to you.
Then try to do a auto-layout. Then you can try some manual adjustments and/or use the Incremental Layout feature (should be right most button on UML toolbar).
Not sure if this will fix your issues, but may be of some help.

Sequence Diagram (UML)

If I wish to represent the use case of "viewing an online document" in a UML sequence diagram. How is the document represented? As an object ? It is not an instance of a class ? This has been boggling my mind for a day !!! Please, help !

Of course you can demonstrate this use case with a sequence diagram. You do not need to have a symbol representing "the document", and in UML 2 there is no such notation.
To create the sequence diagram, you show the object interactions of this behavior. So you might have notation for Object 1 and Object2. And show (using arrows) how Object1 makes a method call such as viewDocument() and how Object2 (an arrow pointing at Object1's swimlane) provides the document for viewing. This is the representation of the behavior of viewing a document.
If you want to extend UML, which you can certainly do, you can put a little document icon above the arrows to convey that this is what is being returned to Object1. This is not necessary though.
Collaboration diagrams show relationships of object interactions with emphasis on structure.
Sequence diagrams show same information but with emphasis on time and sequential processing.

How can I create a diagram where equal data from different cells will be added to one sector?

Hi,
I'm a new Mac user, so I have a lot of problems and questions every day. Moving to Mac from PC is not an easy thing)
Here is my problem:
I need to create a few diagrams for my science work, but can't correct one mistake. Every time one data from one cell from the table takes its own place in the diagram. But I need to ceparate equal data to show it is one section.
An example:
Sex
Age
Female
18
Female
18
Female
18
Female
25
Female
30
We need to create a diagram to show that we have
60% - 18 years
20% - 25 years
20% - 30 years
But Numbers doesn't show it that way. Here how it does:
So please help me. How can I do that?

Hi ProCauda,
Some example data of people and their age:
The COUNTIF function will give the number of people of each age.
In another table, B2 contains this formula (and Fill Down to the bottom of B)
=COUNTIF(Table 1::B,"="&A2)
In this example, 3 people are 18 years old, 0 people are 19 years old, and so on. Use this table to calculate each age as the % of the total, then use that as the data for your diagram (graph, chart).
Regards,
Ian.

How to create a new place in iPhoto 11 without doing any harm?

Yes, I know how to create a new place for a photo -- theoretically:
Select the photo.
Make sure the Info icon in the lower right portion of the iPhoto window is clicked and the too-tiny-for-any-but-the-youngest-eyes map is displaying.
Click in "Assign a Place..." and begin typing a place that iPhoto will search for. It searches in both "your places" (i.e., those that you have already defined) as well as in Google Maps.
When you see a place in the search results list that you think might be close to the one you mean, select it.
A pin appears on the itsy-bitsy map. Move it to the exact place you mean. You can make controls appear on the map by moving the mouse over the bottom of the map. The controls allow you to zoom in and out, and to change views (Terrain, Satellite, Hybrid). When the pin is where you want it, click it. The current name of the location appears. Modify it to the name you want, then click the check mark.
That's "all" there is to it ... except for a couple of "gotchas."
There's a difference between what happens when you select a place that you've defined and when you select a place that Google found in the search results. If it's a place that you've defined, and you then move the pin to a new location and/or change its name, this will affect all photos assigned to the custom place. In effect, you are modifying the place.
All places have a radius associated with them, thereby making them circles. You can adjust the radius only in the Maintain My Places window. In the itsy-bitsy map it doesn't even appear. However, if the newly defined place overlaps existing ones, all the photos assigned to the overlapped places will be assigned to the new one. Their pins will remain where they were.
Now, before anybody suggests sending feedback to Apple, let me emphasize that I have been sending Apple feedback on the wrong-headed implementation of Places since iPhoto 9.0. New versions have come and gone (the current one is 9.1.2), but these "features" have remained. So my purpose in opening this thread is to consolidate work arounds to these "features" in one place. My work around:
Whenever I define a new place, I select only a single photo. I try to name my places so that I can distinguish them from those that Google finds. In order to avoid Gotcha 1 I select a place that Google finds and try to place the pin close enough to where I want it, but far enough from any other places that I've defined. I give it a name that I can easily find it Manage My Place.
I immediately open Manage My Places and select the new place. I first note the pins near it, then decrease its radius, move the pin to the desired location, note the nearby places, and give it its final name.
I then view Places and navigate to the new place to view the photos assigned to it. If I'm lucky, there's only one. Otherwise, I have to reassign the other photos to their correct places.
Richard

So... in the hope it will not confuse folks more, let me be more specific of a procedure that works for me...
Procedure to create a new My Places location.
OK there is more you can do with a non-GPS Coord linked photo.
Click Info and then click Assign a Place in the lower right of screen. (if your photo has a location linked to it already the Assign a Place will NOT show up.)
Choose a location name near the actual location that Google Maps can find.
Click that location in the Google Maps list that appears and your photo will be temporarily assigned to that location.
Now type over that location name in order to make sure to give that location a unique name that will show up in your My Places list and click that name after you have typed it to be sure it is accepted.
Now in iPhoto click Window/Manage My Places and go the that newly named location in the large My Places map. There's no easy search. You have to run down through the alphabetical list.
Drag the flag to the location you want this place to be and click Done.
The location name is now in your My Places list at the location you dragged the flag to!
It is important to note that only your unique named locations show up in your Places list, so if you want to modify the location coordinates you have to establish a unique name for it.
This is much more complicated that previous iPhoto versions!
But Yeah!!!!!!!!!!
It really works!!!!!!!

Why is using Places in iPhoto 11 such a hairy hassle?

Here is the feedback that I just sent to Apple:
"Why is defining a place such a hassle? Don't bother telling me the steps -- I know them too well. Tell me why, when I select a photo, type something in the teeny-weeny Assign a Place... dialog, then select one of the suggestions, what happens next depends on whether the selected suggestion is a custom place or one that Google found? Tell me why, if it's the former and I move the pin around and assign it a new name, I effectively modify the place, just as if I were working in Manage my Places, whereas if it's the latter, I define a new custom place? Tell me why, if the custom place that I define happens to overlap other custom places, the photos assigned to them will be reassigned to the new custom place? Tell me why I can't adjust the radius of the place in the teeny-weeny Assign a Place... dialog to prevent that from happening ... by the time I do that in Manage my Places it's too late! Tell me why, with every new version of iPhoto 11 the usability of Places just gets worse?"
Of course, I don't expect Apple to answer, but I would appreciate any hints for solving, or, at least, avoid the problems described above. They weren't problems in the previous major version of iPhoto.
The latest patch, 9.1.3, seems to have brought new Places problems. I assigned a photo to Martinskirchplatz in Basel. It wasn't in My Places, so it's a place that iPhoto found through Google. Naturally, it overlapped other custom places nearby: Rheinsprung, Alte Universität von Basel, Basler Rathaus. So, after adjusting the radius of Martinskirchplatz in Manage my Places to avoid overlapping them, I switched to the Places view and selected Martinskirchplatz to see all the photos that really belonged to the overlapped places but had been reassigned, and painfully assigned them back to the correct places. Then I found a photo that I had originally assigned to Rheinsprung and reassigned it to Martinskirchplatz, since that's exactly where I had taken it. When I exited Places, re-entered and selected Martinskirchplatz, only the photo for which I had defined that place was there, not the one that I had reassigned to it. No matter what I did, I could not convince iPhoto to show me both photos for that place, despite the fact that, in the Info displays for both the place was correct, and it only appears once in Manage my Places. So I decided to repair and rebuild the library, and iPhoto decided to surprise me by only retaining the places for photos taken with the iPhone (presumably because they contain the GPS coordinates). WHO UNDERSTANDS THAT Rebuild Library from backup MEANS THAT CUSTOM PLACES WILL BE LOST? Just what kind of backup is it that doesn't backup the places?
Regards,
Richard

The problem with Places is not the development, but the design, so learning how to develop (I presume you mean program) an application isn't going bring you any closer to understanding why Places doesn't "work." In fact, Apple's refusal to address the problem of overlapping custom places indicates that this is the way it's supposed to work, but Apple provides no explanation about the underlying model, i.e., how we're supposed to think about custom places.
As nearly as I can tell, custom places are supposed to provide GPS coordinates for photos that don't already have them, or have them wrong. Look at what happens when you import a photo from, say, the iPhone. Provided you haven't switched off the Location facility, the photo has GPS coordinates. And, providing you haven't switched off the option in iPhoto to place photos, iPhoto will look up the coordinates in Google Maps and get the most precise name it can. Apple's solution to the problem of photos which don't have GPS coordinates should have been, allow the user to supply them.
Now, there's a second problem with geo-tagged photos, regardless whether they were automatically or manually tagged. Sometimes we would like to provide a more precise area than Google Maps. For example, Google Maps might supply just the city Basel for photos taken anywhere in Basel, whereas we might want to distinguish various areas in Basel. This, too, has an easy solution. Allow the user to define closed polygons, circles, etc. which constitute a level of detail finer than the finest level that Google Maps supplies. So what if the custom areas overlap? No problem. The photos have coordinates, so if the coordinates of a photo put it in multiple areas, that's OK.
So far, so good. For each problem we have an independent solution. Now, there's a third problem that's specific to manual geo-tagging. Maybe I don't remember or don't care where exactly on the Marktplatz in Basel I took a photo. Why should I have to assign it to a point? Here is where Apple apparently got too clever for its own good. Instead of supplying a separate solution to this problem as well (e.g., by introducing the concept of an area of uncertainty around a point, or by providing a facility to assign a photo the same coordinates as another), we now have what amounts to one solution for two problems: when you think you're defining a custom place, you're really defining a circular area and assigning the photo the coordinates of the center of the circle. So, what's so bad about that? First, the process of defining a new place never makes it clear that it's actually an area that is being defined. Second, even if you're aware of this, you cannot specify the size of the area at the same time that you define it, so there's no way to prevent it from overlapping other places that you've defined. And what is the problem with overlapping? Since the photos are not attached to the areas to which you assign them, but only derive their implicit coordinates from the assignment. Now, anybody could understand that, if two areas overlap sufficiently, in particular, if one overlaps the center of the the other, then the photos assigned to the two places might be displayed when the large place is viewed. But, for some strange reason, reducing the overlap in Manage My Places, or eliminating it altogether, doesn't rectify the problem. Instead you must reassign the "victim" photos of overlap.
The lesson here is: Good design means a single solution to a single problem. Three problems? Three independent solutions! This allows the user to do just what he wants, and to understand what he is doing. Don't want to define an area? Fine. Just assign a coordinate to a photo. Don't want to assign a coordinate, because that would imply precision, or because you don't recall exactly where? Fine. Just define an area of uncertainty and assign the photo to it. As you and/or your needs develop, you can do more sophisticated things with three solutions than with a single one, and you still understand what you're doing.
Somehow I don't believe that Apple doesn't know all this. I could imagine this is an attempt to "simplify" the UI in preparation for supporting a touch interface like that promised for Lion. Unfortunately, the price for reducing three separate operations to a single one is semantic overload and an opaque underlying model.

[SOLVED] KDE 4.6 can't create user-places.xbel file

Lately I have been having an issue when I log in to KDE 4.6 for the first time on a user account. A window pops up with the following error:
"Unable to save bookmarks in /home/troy/.local/share//user-places.xbel. Reported error was: Insufficient permissions in target directory.. This error message will only be shown once. The cause of the error needs to be fixed as quickly as possible, which is most likely a full hard drive."
The drive has over 14GB of free space so the suggestion of a full drive seems unlikely.
The permissions of the directories are:
~/.local 700 (drwx------)
~/.local/share 700 (drwx------)
I am listed as the owner of the directories so it would seem that I have appropriate permissions.
When KDE finishes its startup, I can verify that user-places.xbel does not exist. However, when I log off, the files does get created and all seems well. I have discovered that if I create ~/.local/share (with the same permissions) before logging on, then the file gets created and the error never pops up.
So, does anyone have any idea why I would be getting this error and how I could make it stop?
thanks

Perfect, I figured it must be something like that. My next test will be without bluedevil to see if the error goes away. Thanks for the assist.

OOAD Diagrams

Hi,
I have used Use-Cases, Object static Diagrams, Object-Interaction
diagrams, State diagrams etc. This some what satisfies the Analysis
phase. For elaborate design I must say these diagrams do not give enough
handle on deployment strategies.
We need more INTEGRATED diagramming techniques to represent partions (
such as client-partition, server partition, multiple client / server
partitions) Load-balance and fault tolerance etc. One can use the
node-topology diagrams and processes diagrams to identify which processes
are running on which node. We can also use module diagrams to identify
partitions.

As 55% of all Forte shops, world wide, use SELECT Enterprise I would say that the following diagrams are most common;
Business Modeling;
Process Hierarchy Diagram ( Approx. 30% of SELECT Enterprise Users)
Process Thread Diagram ( Approx. 30% of SELECT Enterprise Users)
Analysis and Design (UML diagram names);
Use Case Diagram ( Approx. 90% of SELECT Enterprise Users)
Object Sequence Diagram ( Approx. 90% of SELECT Enterprise Users)
Object Collaboration Diagram ( Approx. 10% of SELECT Enterprise Users)
Class Diagram ( Approx. 100% of SELECT Enterprise Users)
State Transition Diagram ( Approx. 50% of SELECT Enterprise Users, but only for 10% of classes)
Data Modeling;
Entity Relationship Diagram ( Approx. 90% of SELECT Enterprise and DB Users)
The main reason for the strong Class Diagram support is that it forms the basis of SELECT Enterprise Forte code generation.
The three core diagrams are therefore 'Use Case', 'Object Sequence' and 'Class' with the last two usually being developed in parallel.
Of course this is just our experience based upon SELECT Enterprise users so the feedback from the other 45% would be interesting.

How do I modify the behaviour of "Image Sizing" Module in Export

As part of the export process I want to re-size an image to a fixed size e.g., 5400x3600. The iamge should be scaled symmetrically and therefore some fill-in of black or white may be necessary.
I know I can do this as a "post-process" action, but then I need to re-do sharpening, assigning colour profile etc.
So is there a way in the SDK to "replace" the "Image Sizing" Module with one of my own making?
Best wishes
Terry

You can disable the image sizing portion of the UI and use the updateExportSettings() function on your export service provider to force the image size to your desired size. (This function is not well documented. It takes a single parameter, exportSettings, which you may modify in place before the export starts.) For example (this would go inside your export service provider declaration):
updateExportSettings = function( exportSettings )
    exportSettings.LR_size_resizeType = 'wh' -- specific width and height
    exportSettings.LR_maxHeight = 3600
    exportSettings.LR_maxWidth = 5400
end,
hideSections = { 'imageSettings' }, -- hide the sizing panel
However, there is not a way to get Lightroom to render a file that is cropped to a specific aspect ratio. Whatever sizing parameters are specified, we will always honor the aspect ratio of the source file. In your processRenderedFiles function, you could use a third-party tool like Mogrify to regenerate the output file with the fill necessary to satisfy the desired aspect ratio.

Modify the process of generating Requisition number in iProcurement

We have a requirement to generate the Requisition number based on some of the information entered in iProc ( Using DFF) .Since iProc always use the sequence number to generate the number, we will be modifying the out of box functionality to generate the custom Req. Number.
I have to identify all the objects that i need to modify in iProc ( VO, EO or controller classes ..etc), I was wondering if any one has this information?.
I got the names of all the objects from 'About page' link and downloading these objects to my client and de compiling them to JAVA files to understand the flow, but this is very time confusing. I was wondering is there is a faster way to get this information.

Team Collaboration: Change the Task attributes are not synchronized...

Hello!
I am sorry for my poor English.
When you modify in the Team Collaboration the following Task attributes:
Percentage of completion and Status of implementation,
the changes are not synchronized with others tools (OBEO, Zimbra, Mozilla Sunbird).
Change of Status of implementation of synchronized only in Mozilla Sunbird.
Can anyone give an explanation or solution for this?
P.S.
The problem I found recently in 2.0.1.5. (I think that in earlier versions was the same)
Patch set 2.0.1.6 does not eliminate this defect.

The answer to my question is,
I am stupid. I don't pay attention to the details.
For clarification I did the following...
class superclass{
private Integer PIN = new Integer(100);
// this is the part in my code that I forgot.
protected Integer getSecretPin(){
    return PIN;
class sub{
sub me;
public sub(){
    me = this;
// Sneaky stuff
public Integer getPIN(){
    return
      ((superclass)me).getSecretPin();
}I was tracking down a bug and was writing some output debugging and THOUGHT that I had stumbled on a security thing. On further inspection into the superclass code I had really accessed a protected method. My compiler ignored the casting.
Thanks to all for "Looking into it."
Peace
