Need help with right click menu

I have recently upgraded my VLC video player to a new version. Now when I right click on a file to select "open with" I get VLC twice... quite annoying. Can I edit the right click menu and get rid of one of them?

Help with right click menu!

Hello. I have a little problem with my right click menu and Firefox. When I right click a document and go to "open with" menu I get about 5 Firefox options along with other applications to open the file; how can I get rid of all this Firefox entries?? I guess they are there because of many Firefox updates from about 2 years but, it should be just one.

Do you have multiple versions of Firefox installed? If so, you either have to remove all but one or live with it.
If you have only one version of Firefox currently installed, rebuild your launch services database:

Disable (all) functions on the block diagram with right-click menu

Hello to everyone,
here is one more idea, which I'd like to propose.
As for me, it would be useful to have the following: when all components (functions, wires, subVIs, etc.) are selected on the block diagram (like, after ctrl+A), operator could do right-click, and in the menu would appear menu item "Disable everything". After it, all the code could be placed into Disable structure.
Of course, I can add Disable structure to block diagram manually, and cover whatever I want, but with right-click menu it would be much faster.
Also, it can be modified to disable only selected items - then each of them can be placed into separate Disable structure, and, for example, additionaly in the enabled case of Disable structure, corresponding wires will be connected. Sometimes it is needed for testing - just to disable couple functions, and test subVI. Or to disable subVI fully (it's faster, then disable place, where it is called. Especially, if subVI is used in many places).
It will not make debugging difficult, because anyway Disabled structures are used; such functionallity can just make life a little bit easier...

There is always the File->New... which opens up a new window. You can have your templates in that window by putting them somewhere (I don't remember where at the moment).

Left clicking mouse acts as if I'm right clicking, and comes up with right click menu?

Hi I was wondering whether anyone could help me with this, I've had this problem for a week or so now and it's beginning to get frustrating.
I have a newish iMac, bought in January, and I've been having this problem the last week or so, where when I left click something, it acts as if I am right clicking it and it comes up with the right click menu. I has happened mostly while on the internet (chrome), but also when I'm just on my desktop, but less often.
It only happens every so often, and rights itself after a couple of minutes. What could be causing this, and how do I stop it?
This is my first ever post on here, so I do apologise if I have been vague or I have posted this question in the wrong section, I am also new to macs (well since January).
The mouse I am using is a dell wired mouse, a couple of years old, which I just plugged in without the need of installing software etc.
Many thanks for any help in advance.

Hello & welcome!
No worries, you did great for a 1st post, & this is generally a friendly place.
It sounds light it's the Mouse button from here, to test it...
Go to System Preferences > Mouse, change the Primary button to the Right button... does the Right button ever do that now as the left button?

Issue with right-click menu after latest update

After updating Firefox, the right-click menu is showing much more commands than before (Play, Pause, Mute etc. etc.), most of them out of context ("Open Link in New Tab" when there is no link) and none of them working.

Issues with a massive right-click context menu have been reported as caused by Firebug, so make sure to update Firebug to the latest version.

I need help with the navigation menu please?

I have been working my way through your six part printed instructions and I am styling the header and navigation menu. The bullet points disappeared which was correct and the tabs moved to the right, as they should, but one tab sits underneath another tab and all tabs are covered up by my main heading. This is dreamweaver CS6.
It looks a bit of a mess!

I have moved this to the main Dreamweaver forum, as the other forum is intended to deal with the Getting Started video tutorial.
The best way to get help with layout problems is to upload the files to a website and post the URL in the forum. Someone can then look at the code, and identify the problem. Judging from your description, it sounds as though the Document window is narrow, which would result in the final menu tab dropping down to the next row. Try turning on Live view or previewing the page in a browser. Design view gives only an approximate idea of the final layout. Live view renders the page as it should look in a browser.

Need help with drop down menu

Hi guys,
I'm using div's for the main navigation of my site and want to create a drop down for the first two buttons. All the tutorials I have seen have been for using unordered lists but I need to use divs for this navigation set (long story!).
Can anyone help me get them set up please? Ideally I would like the drop downs to fade in but it's not essential. I take it I need to create an absolutely positioned div where I want my drop downs to appear, is that correct? - but then where do I go from there?
If you click here for my test site.
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
SM

Hi Ken,
Thank you for the reply.
I had the main nav as an unordered list to begin with but for some reason I didn't find them as easily controllable as the div's i.e. setting widths and heights etc. as I wanted each button to have a set width, instead of just having text with padding. Originally I had the button divides set as border left and right strokes but for some reason they weren't adding up, I think because of the padding I had on them. I know you can set these with unordered lists but opted for divs in the end!
Hope that helps.
Thanks again,
SM

***I need help with my SPRY MENU BAR***

Need help with pop-up menu and applied Rules

I'm working on a spreadsheet that calculates my profit and losses. I drive a big rig so it needs to keep track of a lot of variables so I know if I'm going to make money on a run or lose money.
I get fuel discounts of various amounts depending on which vendor I fuel at.
I went to a section of the sheet and did a pop-up menu that contains the vendor names.
In the trip section I have cost of fuel per gallon, gallons purchased, total fuel cost, cost minus fuel surcharge.
What I would like to do is apply a rule to cost per gallon box (H7) that takes a variable from the pop-up menu (B40).
So if H7 has $2.58 entered as a cost and B40 has pilot selected then $0.050 will automatically be deducted from the $2.58. This way I will have a history of where I fuel, the deduction is made automatically, and I have a history of fuel prices in a certain region.
If anyone looks at this and sees a simpler way of figuring this calculation please make the suggestion. I want to keep this sheet as small and hassle free as possible.
I have 3 fuel stops per trip with totals that are connected to other areas. Once I get all of this done I will be adding a chart for easy comparison and long range simple tracking to see where improvements can be made and costs are going.
Thanks in advance all help will be appreciated.
Message was edited by: Hwoodwriter for clarification.

The IF Lookup table worked. Did a little modification by placing the table in another part of the chart then hiding that part.
I tried doing the discount as a negative but got a negative total which had a negative affect on my total trip income.
Here is how it works in it's final version.
Gallons on board minus gallons required for trip.
Cost per gallon (retail) multiplied by gallons purchased.
Fuel cost equals (Gallons purchased multiplied by Retail gallon price) minus ("IfLookup" multiplied by Gallons purchased)
Fuel Cost Minus Fuel Surcharge (the actual price I pay, which includes all my savings) equals (Retail Gallon Cost minus Fuel Surcharge minus "IfLookup") multiplied by Gallons Purchased.
Some of my trips take up to 3 fuel stops. So this helps me keep track of each fuel stop and all savings per trip.
I now have where I fueled, the retail price, with discount and surcharge applied. A few keystrokes and I know if a trip is going to be profitable or a loss for me.
Thank you for the help. I now have what I need at my fingertips to make my job more effective.
Thanks again.

Need help with Drop Down Menu _ URGENT!!

Hello -
I'm new to Dreamweaver. I actually have an old version
(Dreamweaver MX 2004).
I'm updating a website for work and this needs to be done as
soon as possible so I'd appreciate if anyone can be so kind as to
shed light on ANYTHING. =/
This is what I need:
I need a drop down menu; when a selection is chosen, I need
information regarding that selection to appear on the bottom of the
page. (I am working off an Excel sheet - it has list of service
descriptions along w/ the unit price, frequency & other fields.
So If I chose "database hosting" off the drop down list,
information would be generated (ie. it's corresponding unit price,
frequencies, etc.)
I've attached an example of a code but I cannot use that code
(which has JavaScript) to tweak what I need exactly.
I am VERY new to this so if anybody can help be out I would
GREATLY appreciate it.
Thanks!!

Need Help with Flash Template Menu

I purchased this template from templatehelp.com and I have
certainly spent a lot of time. I use Fireworks and would consider
myself fairly good at it. Flash on the other hand is causing me
some issues. Can someone check this out for me? I have uploaded it
to my site at this point because I am at a loss.
Menu for Law
website

I am trying to create the menu. I have figured out how to
create the extra button as well as where I will need to change the
link for each button but if you download the menu from above (link
included in previous post) you will notice that the first two
buttons are mimicking each other. I need the second option to be
FAQs independent of the first home button

Need help with Flash Dock Menu

Hi guys,
I'm trying to build a dock menu componant for my website in CS3. I've seen loads of them out there but they all seem to only stop scrolling when the mouse is moved in to the center of the movie - I want to build one exactly like the one in the link below, where the mouse will stop scrolling once the mouse is settled over the image you want to select.
http://www.mtoolcomponents.com/flash-slideshow/flash-dock-menu.html
I even want to create something a bit simpler where there are no reflections and the images don't get bigger on rollover.
Does anyone know of a tutorial or know how I can achieve this?
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

Need help with pop-up menu please!

So I have an older version of Dreamweaver.
I want to apply a drop-down menu or pop-up menu whatever to
words, but so far I don't think I can do that.
I've decided to apply it to a picture instead, and I've done
this successfuly before.
I select the picture, then go to behaviors and select "show
pop-up menu", fill in the info and say OK, but I then get this
message that goes something like "while applying behaviors action
javascript failed" and "ReferenceError:imgName isNot defined" or
whatever and it won't let me add it.
I've restarted the program and even my computer but it won't
go away.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

The pop-up menus are very troublesome. Nobody here would
recommend that you
use them.

Copying a table with the right-click menu in schema browser fails to copy comments when string has single quote(s) (ascii chr(39))

Hi,
I'm running 32-bit version of SQL Developer v. 3.2.20.09 build 09.87, and I used the built in context menu (right-clicking from the schema browser) today to copy a table. However, none of the comments copied. When I dug into the PL/SQL that the menu-item is using, I realized that it fails because it doesn't handle single quotes within the comment string.
For example, I have a table named WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT that I wanted to copy as WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 (within same schema name)
1. I right-clicked on the object in the schema browser and selected Table > Copy...
2. In the pop-up Copy window, I entered the new table name "WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1" and ticked the box for "Include Data" option. -- The PL/SQL that the menu-command is using is in the "SQL" tab of this window. This is what I extracted later for testing the issue after the comments did not copy.
Result: Table and data copied as-expected, but no column or table comments existed.
I examined the PL/SQL block that the pop-up window issued, and saw this:
declare
l_sql varchar2(32767);
c_tab_comment varchar2(32767);
procedure run(p_sql varchar2) as
begin
     execute immediate p_sql;
end;
begin
run('create table "BI_ETL".WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 as select * from "BI_ETL"."WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT" where '||11||' = 11');
select comments into c_tab_comment from sys.all_TAB_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and comments is not null;
run('comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '||''''||c_tab_comment||'''');
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   run ('comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''');
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
The string of the table comment on WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT is this:
WBIG table of frozen, point-in-time snapshots of Enrolled Students by Category/term/pidm. "Category" is historically, and commonly, our CENSUS snapshot; but, can also describe other frequencies, or categorizations, such as: End-of-Term (EOT), etc. Note: Prior to this table existing, Census-snapshots were stored in SATURN.SNAPREG_ALL. All FALL and SPRING term records prior-to-and-including Spring 2013 ('201230') have been migrated into this table -- EXCEPT a few select prior to Fall 2004 (200410) records where there are duplicates on term/pidm. NO Summer snapshots existed in SNAPREG_ALL, but were queried and stored retroactively (including terms prior to Spring 2013) for the purpose of future on-going year-over-year analysis and comparison.
Note the single quotes in the comment: ... ('201230')
So, in the above PL/SQL line 11 grabs this string into "c_tab_comment", but then line 12 fails because of the single quotes. It doesn't know how to end the string because the single quotes in the string are not "escaped", and this messes up the concatenation on line 12. (So, then no other column comments are created either because the block throws an error, and goes to line 22 for the exception and exits.)
When I modify the above PL/SQL as my own anonymous block like this, it is successful:
declare
c_tab_comment VARCHAR2(32767);
begin
SELECT REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) INTO c_tab_comment FROM sys.all_TAB_comments WHERE owner = 'BI_ETL'   AND table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' AND comments IS NOT NULL;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '''||c_tab_comment||'''';
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''';
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
On lines 4 and 8 I wrapped the "comments" from sys.all_tab_comments and sys.all_col_comments with a replace command finding every chr(39) and replacing with chr(39)||chr(39). (On line 8 I also had to alias the wrapped column as "comments" so line 10 would succeed.)
Is this an issue with SQL Developer? Is there any chance that the menu-items can handle single quotes in comment strings? ... And, of course this makes me wonder which other context menu commands in the tool might have a similar issue.
Thoughts?
thanks//jacob

I know about quick drop, but it isn't helpful here. I want to be able to right click on a string or array wire, navigate to the string or array palette, and select the corresponding "Empty?" comparator. In this case, since I do actually know where those functions live, and I'm already using my mouse to right click on the wire, typing ctrl-space to open quick drop and then typing in the function name is actually more work than navigating to it in the palette. It would just be nice to have it on hand in the location I naturally go to look for it the first time.
I don't agree with this work flow. Right hand on mouse, left hand on home keys. Pressing CTRL + Space is done with the left hands, and then you could assign "ea" to "Empty Array" both of which is accessible with the left hand. Darren posted a bunch of great shortcuts for the right handed developer.
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-20453
This is much faster than waiting for any right click menu navigation, even if it is found in the suggested subpalette.
