How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0, How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0

In Lion, the default of pressing a link on a web page, is to open the page in a new tab. In itself, I do like this because this is what I did for 19 out of any 20 links, which I command+clicked in previous Safari versions.
However, there is a snag to this behaviour. Most (all?) secure site do not like links to be opened in a new tab. For example, when I am doing Web banking, The the linked page doesn’t open in new tab. Rather I get a page telling me my login session is expired. Probably a security measure instituted by my bank.
I since found out, that a command-click opens lings in the same window. Theoretically that solves the problem, if I would think about this all the time. I don't. Old habits die slowly.
Is there a terminal command to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0.

Hi Eric,
I got it figured out today, basically you have to load the Parallel Flash Loader first into FPGA ram. It is a special .sof file (pfl_epXXXX.sof) based on your FPGA. Code is actually pretty straight forward, using the Sys Exec VI. Use the windows based programmer to generate the .cdf file that identifies your FPGA, attached Flash and .pof file .
Syntax was odd going into Sys Exec. Note the extra "C" in in front of the "quartus_prm.exe" I have no idea why that was needed, but I was getting an error until I just happened to put it in there (Blind Luck :-))
I used a 2 element array going into a four loop
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG -o P;pfl_epXXXX.sof
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG S_FPGA.cdf
Defining the working director C:\altera\12.1sp1\qprogrammer\bin
And added match string with "Successfully performed operation" on the output in the loop to make sure everything loaded correctly then adding the array to give me a overall P/F
To anyone doing this same thing Altera's documentation is poor to say the least. It took most of a week to figure this out Not allowed to upload code, so anyone wanting details just post here and I will try to help. This was painful, with lots of lessons learned.
Thanks for the interest though
Best regards John

Is there a script to position document windows?

I think it's likely that someone (Dave?) has written a script for this, but I can't find one.
I want to open (or at least reposition) document windows on my second monitor, not under the open panels on the primary display on my MacBook screen; and I'd like to find a way of doing this with keystrokes.
If a script doesn't exist, is it possible, or is there some roadblock? Should I post in the scripting forum?

I have indeed written such a script, but it is not aware of second monitors, and off the top of my head, I'm not sure how to make it aware.
Ah, it doesn't have to be aware. The bounds are relative to the total monitor space. So my script will work.
Here you go:
//DESCRIPTION: Resets active window size or uses front window to set default size.
// Check for WindowDefault.txt; if present use it to set front window
// if not, use front window to set it after checking with user.
myPath = app.activeScript;
myParts = myPath.toString().split("/");
myParts[(myParts.length - 1)] = "WindowDefault" + app.version.slice(0,1) + ".txt";
myNewPath = myParts.join("/");
mySettingsFile = File(myNewPath);
// Before proceeding, check that there is a front window
// If not, offer user the chance to delete the current settings
if (app.windows.length < 1) {
beep();
if (confirm("No window is open; would you like to delete the settings file?")) {
// User said yes; check that it exists
if(mySettingsFile.exists) {
   mySettingsFile.remove();
} else {
if (mySettingsFile.open("r")) {
savedBounds = mySettingsFile.read();
mySettingsFile.close();
myBounds = savedBounds.split(",");
for (i = 0; i<myBounds.length; i++) {
   myBounds[i] = Number(myBounds[i]);
app.windows[0].bounds = myBounds;
} else {
beep();
if (confirm("Settings file is missing. Use current front window to set default?")) {
   // User said: go to it.
   new File(mySettingsFile);
   mySettingsFile.open("w");
   mySettingsFile.write(app.windows[0].bounds);
   mySettingsFile.close();
Before you run the script for the first time, position a window where you want this script to position all subsequent windows. It keeps the information in a text file in the same folder as the script. You can reset the position by editing the file (that's what I often do to fine tune the position) or by running the script again with no window open.

When I click on any Bookmark, how do I set it to open in a new window by default?

Right clicking an icon in the Bookmarks Toolbar provides a drop down menu. That menu has "Open" as the Default and "Open in a New Window" as the second choice. I'd like to make "Open in a New Window" the Default. In other words, I'd like to be able to click on a Bookmark icon and open a new window. Is there a line in 'about:config' that I can change to accomplish this?

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

Mail not loading a Viewer Window by default.

My question is how do I set Mail so that it does open the viewer window by default? I am running Mail 8.0 on a 2014 iMac running Yosemite.
I have tried to locate .plist files (although that is close to the edge of my expertise) and there is no "Mail" folder in Hard Drive/Library
Any advice would be awesome!

Can I set Firefox as my windows 7 default mail client?

I've already set Firefox's mailto/send etc email program to Gmail, but I want to also set the Windows 7 default mail client to use FireFox (which knows to use gmail). For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach" I get an error: "Either there is no default e-mail client, or the current client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default email client" What is the equivalent way to run FireFox and set it as the default Windows 7 client? I want my OS default e-mail to open Firefox and then use the e-mail settings already setup in FireFox.
== For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach"

No you cannot because Firefox is not a email client. [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] has a built in email client that you can use

How to make Detailed Navigation Window by default open?

Hi,
Is there any way to set the Detailed Navigation Window by default to open?
I have gone through different posts but I could not get a clear way to do this.If some body can hint me I would be very much thankful.
Thanks & Regards
Mrutyunjay

Hi,
do you mean the navigation panel on the left side? If so find the frameworkpage you are using. Open, goto InnerDesktop. Select properties for this page. Here find a property <i>"Initial state of navigation panel"</i> - set to <b>open</b>.
Hope this helps,
Romano

SAPScript: Positioning a Window (Graphic) behind the main window

Hello,
I want to print a graphic behind the main window. But I am not able positioning a window or graphic-window behind the main window. The result is that my graphic always shows up in front of the printed text of the main window and not behind the text of the main window, as I wish. I thought that the order of the windows determines which windows is on top? But I am not able of putting a window before the 'MAIN' design window.
Regards, Lars.

Hi Lars
Please check the following thread:
ABAP Development
/: BITMAP MYLOGO OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMAP TYPE BMON
I think, trick must be in 'TYPE'.
Try to explore what options you can have (here it is BMON). I will also try.

SAP Script :change position of window margins (resize window)

Hi,
how to change position of window margins (resize a window)?
Sounds very simple, but when I open my SAPScript form in layout editing mode it does not allow me to change values of window margins...
Regards,
Mindaugas

Hi...
Make sure your entering language and orginal language of the script is same or not.
utilities -> convert orginal language..
Procedure if you are using English as entering language:
Enter script name -> Enter language as DE -> change -> utiliteis -> convert orginal language -> change it DE to EN -> now back and re-enter into script...
Thanks,

Is there a way I can make Messages pop up chats in new windows by default like iChat used to ?

Is there a way I can make Messages pop up chats in new windows by default like iChat used to ? I really hate the new way all of my chats are in one window and I have to manually open them in a new window. I miss having them pop up in a new window as people contact me.

Hi,
The Chats can be double clicked off the Messages window into a separate window and then the Messages window closed.
What can't be done is to start the chats in new windows.
It also pays not to use th DOCK icon to "read" new messages when the DOCK badge shows as this reopens the Mesages main window.

Detect "touch start" and "touch end" event in windows phone default browser.

Hi,
We have a BIG problem, because in all browsers we can detect the "touch start" event and "touch end" event. For iOS, firefox, internet Explorer, safari, Android work well. But in the windows phone default browser the "touch end"
doesn't work.
Do you know what we can do ?
Thanks.

Hi gogogate,
>>But in the windows phone default browser the "touch end" doesn't work
There is no simply way to achieve this, in my experience, I would recommend that you can handle touch event using JavaScript and retrieve information you need form the webpage using the window.external.notify(string) function:

Re: Pre-positioned finder windows get moved automatically!    Mac OS » Ma

Re: Pre-positioned finder windows get moved automatically! (Mac OS » Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard » Finder and Dock, Sep 19, 2009 11:23 PM)
   I could not find my original post to add this to.
   I have discovered that CONTROL-Command-O will open a pre-positioned window in place while closing its parent. (I think it was Option-Command-O previously.) If you are working in folders within folders, you will need to move the topmost window slightly to the side to allow the first level to open in pre-positioned place.
   Has anyone discovered the procedure to go back up to the top level -- with key strokes or without -- while keeping the original position of the higher up window?
   Is there a way to open an enclosed folder in place without having to close the parent?

Is there a way to open an enclosed folder in place without having to close the parent?
Not sure you can get there from here
Double-clicking will open an enclosed Folder in place, in step fashion....all you need to do to move back is to either click 'Back' in the menu bar of that window.
Double-click on the parent folder in the icon row along the bottom of that window to move back to it or any higher level folder to the left.
If you hold the command key and click once on the icon in the top center of that window's upper margin, you will see a vertical list of any parent folders in order (top most at the bottom)...click on one to move to it.
As you can see, 'back' here is thus defined at least three ways: back, left & down. While it can be distracting to some people who may prefer what at least appears to be a more structured environment, the goal is to provide choices so that the OS appears to provide flexibility rather than being hardwired/inflexible. Don't let the number of choices confuse you - find a style that suits your flow and be happy.
If you want to peer into some of the thinking behind Apple software, you would do well to invest time (and I don't mean just a quick glance) in reading the 'Apple Human Interface Guidelines' at this link...
