Multiple Windows without Document based project?

Is there a way to put multiple windows in my web browser without a document based application? I hate document based projects. A regular project is much easier to work with. What makes a Document based application so special anyway? Thanks in advance.

Well, it gives you documents. You can save and open them. It keeps track of its windows and its own nib files.
A document-based application might not be appropriate for your program. You can create windows on the fly. It is a bit more work that way. I don't think I've ever done it. Any applications that weren't document-based also had only a specific number of windows that were all defined in the nib file.
What do you hate about document-based projects? You don't have to use them. Just keep an open mind and come back later and try them again. It took me a couple of tries before I got the hang of core data. Document-based applications might make more sense the next time around.

Firefox is opening multiple windows without my request. The only way I can stop it is by rebooting my computer.

Fairly often when I open Firefox, it continues to open multiple windows (hundreds of them) without my request. The only way I can stop it is to reboot the computer.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Several weeks ago

Hello Sally.
This looks like some virus or spyware. Scan your system for infection.
Or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

ApplicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed Doc-based Project Help?

If I do the following:
( 1 ) create a NON-document based Cocoa Project:
( 2 ) add a button to the nib window, name it [DONE]
( 3 ) Control Click and Drag from [DONE] to the Window and select performClose: from the HUD
( 4 ) Run and click on [DONE] and applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed gets called, and the app quits just like it is supposed to. So this brief amount of code works GOOD..
// TestNoDocAppDelegate.h
// TestNoDoc
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
@interface TestNoDocAppDelegate : NSObject <NSApplicationDelegate> {
NSWindow *window;
@property (assign) IBOutlet NSWindow *window;
@end
// TestNoDocAppDelegate.m
// TestNoDoc
#import "TestNoDocAppDelegate.h"
@implementation TestNoDocAppDelegate
@synthesize window;
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
// Insert code here to initialize your application
// If the user closes the last window in the application, make sure the application quits.
- (BOOL)applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed:(NSApplication *)sender {
NSLog(@"[4567] %@",@"applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed");
return YES;
@end
But if I try to get this to work with a Document based Project I cannot get applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed to trigger such that the application will quit.
I have tried creating an AppController Class (SubClass of NSController) then dragged it to the Nib Window, auto-created the AppController methods, and put the code there, and IB will not let me Control-Click-Drag from the File's Owner to the AppController instance in the Nib. The AppController won't highlight. So obviously I am doing something wrong...
When I tried this awakeFromNib in MyDocument Class I still could not get applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed to trigger.
- (void) awakeFromNib
NSLog(@"[4001] %@",[NSApp delegate]); // returned null
[NSApp setDelegate:self];
[[NSApp delegate] applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed:NSApp];
// this got called OK
NSLog(@"[4002] %@",[NSApp delegate]);
// returned non-null value (whether it was good or not, I don't know. I assume it was.)
I am missing something with either not having the right class, or probably with the Nib Window connections.
I'd be grateful for some help.

I tried this before and when I control-click-drag (CCD) from File's Owner to TestDocAppDelegate, it will not allow me to do that. When I CCD over each instance icon in the xib window, the only one that highlights is the window icon.
Since you mention the "window icon" it sounds like you're working in the wrong xib file. I see the same behavior if I do what you've described in the MyDocument.xib.
But a Cocoa document-based project template comes with two xib files. You need to be doing this in MainMenu.xib not MyDocument.xib (the MainMenu.xib for a document-based app doesn't have a window icon by default).
I normally do this slightly different, but it achieves the same result (I think...)
( 1 ) Create New Project, call it TestDoc
( 2 ) Control-Click on the Classes Group,
and Add New File...
called TestDocAppDelegate
( 3 ) Do a Cmd-Shift-L to open the Library,
select the Classes TAB,
in the search field at the bottom type in the first few characters for the name
of the class you just created, in this case "TestD"
and only one Class is displayed in the list, TestDocAppDelegate.
( 4 ) Drag the TestDocAppDelegate icon to the xib window
{code}
Instead of using the ( 4 ) steps above, I created a new project and used your EXACT steps, and could not get that to work either.
I believe you're correct that your steps have the same effect as mine. I tried using your steps and it still works for me. In fact, I had never really played with the "Classes" tab in IB, so I learned something new. Thanks!
I think the problem is that you're adding your delegate object and attempting to make the connection in the wrong xib file.

Performance Based Equipment Document for Projects

Dear All,
We are implementing Performance based equipment process in ETM module. We want to create PBE document for projects where we want to enter the WBS against each line item in PBE document.
Currently we are able to create the recipient with reference type WBS where we assign WBS element and the same we are assigning in the PBE document to populate the WBS in PBE document. Here the issue is, we have to create the recipient for each WBS element to create the PBE document as WBS element will get populated for the recipient. We are not able to enter the WBS element directly in the PBE document as it is in non editable mode in the screen.
Could any body suggest how to enter the WBS element directly in the PBE document without the reference of recipient as we have thousands of wbs elements and creating recipient for each wbs element is not feasible.
Thanks and regards,
Basavaraj

Hi,
There are multiple questions in your query.
1. You have to define a counter for finding the performance based maintenance
2. Measurement document needs to be updated regulary by putting the counter reading.
3. Call objects will happen based on Plan and scheduling Or deadline monitoring by considering the updated measurement reading.
4. Running Deadline monitoring is based on frequency of the calls needed. may be daily or weekly or monthly (Example: Every week maintenance (Week time interval calls) for an equipment needs atleast weeky once deadline monitoring)
Thanks

How to open document from mac when using windows without transferring the file?

How can i open a document from mac when i am using windows without transferring it?

depend on the document program more then anything else really
when ever I open a doc with word it make a history for undo and redo action file in the same dir
with bootcamp you only have read not write access to the osx partition so it would fail to be able to create that file
but if you can get word or whatever program you use to open the file not to place a temp file in the same dir
or use a program which did not make any type of temp file or used a program where the temp file would be located elsewhere where you decide it would work file

flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

Current Document Only -- AA wants to open up multiple windows

This is fricken driving me crazy -- i want AA to open multiple docs in the SAME WINDOW
I have unchecked "Current Document Only" and it still persists in opeing up multiple docs in multiple windows.
this is what that command is supposed to control:
"Current Document Only: Specifies whether or not the display is limited to a single PDF."
NO -- i want them all opened in the SAME WINDOW.
just like Firefox can open many TABS in the same window, i feel like i am stuck w/ IE again or worse that i am stuck w/ AA Reader, wherein i cannot get the windows reduced to just one (1) window featuring multiple open pdfs.
What gives? anyone else have this problem? anyone have a solution?
thanks.

yes, you are correct, this is version 9 i was referring to.
i guess i will need to revert back to my prev version, then.
why do they mess up a god thing??

Signing a document multiple times without saving it?

Hello all,
Can someone please tell me how do we sign a document multiple times without having to save the document after each signature?
For instance, I am a realtor and have to sign the contract about 3-4 times. However, when I sign it, Acrobat 8 prompts me to sign after each signature.
When I was using Acrobat 7, I could sign as much as I want and then save it. This is much more efficient and practical.
Can anyone advise me?
Thanks in advance.
Geo

Hi Geo,
It may be more cumbersome in version 8 (and 9), but it's safer. In version 7 and earlier when you signed, Acrobat did everything in memory. You weren't prompted to save the file to disk until you wanted to close the file. The problem is computer memory is where the bad guys get into to make changes. The majority of computer vulnerabilities occur when the hacker escapes the allotted memory space (aka buffer overflows) and reads and writes to memory address that they shouldn't be in. Think of memory being divided up like a row of houses along a block. The bad guy gets out of his house and into yours, and that's where bad things happen.
Beginning with version 8, signature operation all take place on disk, not in memory. It's slower, and as you pointed out it's more cumbersome, but it's safer. The file is committed to disk (the hard drive) before the signature is created and the signed bytes cannot be manipulated in the middle of the signing procedure.
Interestingly (at least to me), when we had this discussion four or five years ago when the change was made, the example used was of mortgage contact being signed where any of the terms could be changed in memory prior to the signature being completed. It was just a bunch of geeky engineers sitting around a table discussing possible vulnerabilities with the current signing operation (i.e. signing in memory). To see the theoretical example in actual use is kind of exciting (granted I don't get out much ).

Open multiple windows of current document

Does anyone know if there is any way to open a document in multiple windows? When I'm working on something fairly complicated, I like to have more than one window open so, for instance, I can be looking at Page 1 and Page 18 at the same time. I can't for the life of me see a way to do this in Pages! I have to go back to using ....shudder .... that OTHER product!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I haven't needed that feature in Pages so I didn't realize it didn't exist. This is something worth leaving feedback to the Pages team about.
I don't think you need to use "that other product" though. You might take a look at one of the Office clones like NeoOffice. If you happen to have AppleWorks 6, it has the "new view" feature.

Do LabVIEW Projects support multiple Windows systems?

I am trying to set up a LabVIEW project that contains more than one

If I can't add multiple Windows computers, then how do I use Shared Variables between two PCs?

ITunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users - how?

iTunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users?
I am very confused on what is the best way to handle this setup for my friends family. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance as I know this is a long winded post - I have a feeling this will help others faced with the same issues or questions.
CURRENT SETUP
I have three new Windows 7 machines networked (two desktops and one laptop) that have four users on each - as busy family with children who need the computers for homework, projects, games, etc... The goal of this setup is that any user can log onto any computer and have there documents available to them no matter computer was free to use. I set this up using the library function in Windows 7 and seems to work pretty well.
I have put a Buffalo Linkstation NAS on the system as well. This was going to serve two purposes 1) run some backup software to protect the computers and 2) consolidate the iTunes content in one place for all users. There is also an iPad in the home that I should would be better served by accessing the content on the NAS without requiring any of the computers being on. Dave is thinking about getting some other playback devices like Apple TV so thought a NAS would be a good way to go.
CURRENT ITUNES SETUP - I have created a new iTunes library on the NAS by holding the SHIFT button down while starting iTunes and pointed to that folder on a Share on the NAS. There was no music on the system at the time as we are planning to copy this over from an OLD machine that is now not being used. I have also authorized all the computers and turned on the home sharing feature (although I am not sure what good that does).
This “shift” button trick seesm to also point the default directory there without point to it in the advanced setup tab of iTunes.
I then synced one of the iPods with purchased content on it and synced that to the library after asking me to do so before an update. All the content showed up in the library and was playable - awesome.
I then logged into each user on each machine (yikes) and installed iTunes and used the “shift” trick to connect each users iTunes to the database on the NAS. Everything seems to work - but I have not tested it thoroughly.
SUMMARY
3 new Windwos 7 networked machines
4 identical users on each machine
1 TB Buffalo linkstation
iTunes setup with the folder on a SHARE
all user’s itunes connected to the iTunes folder on the NAS
all computers authorized with home sharing turned on.
one iTunes user account signed in on each machine
multiple iPods and one iPad in the system
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
Is there a better way to do this on a NAS?
Would home sharing be better in some way?
I understand the NAS should show up under the shared section in iTunes - I assume that would mean that would mean each user has an iTunes library on their documents?
I have read that there may be corruption issues if users on the different machines try to access iTunes at the same time.
Will there be any issues syncing that various iPods with?
Ugh - sorry for the long post and all the questions. I am just trying to find the best way to do this. I wish Apple would put out a best practices document for setups like this. Thanks in advance.

This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.

Single step workflow with multiple approvers (without using a group)

Hi,
is it possible to have a single step workflow with multiple approvers without using a group? This is for a contract document.
i want to add a number of users based on particular logic. The approvers are random and do not belong to any particular group.
DO let me know if it is possible or if any of you have done that.
thanks in advance.
regards,
rubio

Hi Rubio,
I believe the behavior would be, if individual users are added as approvers then the system would require each approver to approve the document. However, if you use the user group, you could set the role so that it would be either ALL or ANY.
Regards,
Vikram

How to trigger change documents based on inbound-idoc?

Hi experts,
Currently I'm working in on a project where I have to create an interface based on IDOCS. This is an interface for two SAP-HR systems.
If there are made changes in the dialog (gui) by a user, there will be created a change document, which can be displayed by report RPUAUD00. For the inbound-interface based on idocs it's important that there will also be created a change document in the system based on this idoc. We have tested this, but no change document is created.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem: "How to create a change document based on the inbound-idoc?"
Thanks in advance.
With kind regards,
Roy

Thanks for responding. First, I like the idea of defining an event, but I'm still stuck with how to trigger it. I looked at dynamically registering events, and maybe doing something where a click on the graph control registers an event for key presses on the vi. I'd still have to figure out out to terminate the key press event. Unfortunately, (actually it's a feature I like..) there are a number of different ways to complete typing in a scale change. I routinely use ctr-enter (habit from working on a laptop), though enter works fine, and clicking somewhere else is probably the most common method. I am not that familar with User Defined Events, so I may be overlooking something obvious here.
The graphs are a Bode Plot, with a seperate graph for RPM vs Phase Lag, and RPM vs Magnitude. I want them to always be plotted on the same x-axis. The plot is generated when the user doubleclicks on a dataset. After that, it's just the user looking at it. They can change the axis without any new data being generated.
Thanks,
Chris

HT2470 how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them part of 1 master file

how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them into 1 master file? I want to put all documents associated with this project together for easier access.

From the finder window, click File, click new folder, you can drag all documents into that Folder making it the master folder. You can ajso drag folders into the Master folder, and have them as sub-folders if you wish to do that. Either way they will all be in one master folder.

ArrayController in non-document based Applications

I just tried to use the ArrayController in an app. The app was not document based. I did everything as you are supposed to do, I made up a class called AppControll, set it Files Owner of the XIB file, connected the contend Array and so on. There were no warnings or errors, the compiler said No Issues, the Build was suchsessfull. But before the window has opened, the Application crashed. On the console was this log:

The debugger tells me "Programm recieved signal SIGBART"
If I cut the bnding to the contend array, the Applications stats as usual, but it dosent work, because there is no contend array.
Then I tried something else. I made up a new project, this time a document-based one, and did exactly the same as I did before. It worked well and fine the way it should work. There was no problem and the ArrayController worked fine. I don`t think a made mistake writing the name of the array, because I allways copied and pasted the name to the IB. So I would like to know if it is possible to use an ArrayController in a Non-document based Application? What do i have to do differently? The reference about the ArrayController does not mention this. It would be great if you could help me soon, thank you.

No, but actually this was not my Problem But It helped me figure out what the problem is in detail. If you use a document based application, NSDocument can call the subclass NSPersistentDocument. This automatically reads out the model (if you use Core Data. I do`t like Core Data because it`s sometimes a bit strange and it`s hard to hunt down bugs there, but I think basically the problem is the same) and create a managedObjectContext, wich is needed to run the NSArray Controller. The big question is now, how to call something simular to NSPersistentDocument wich is not a subclass ob NSDocument but of NSObject.
