Preview / Desktop query

I have a jpeg of 87.5MB which I use as a Desktop picture - it displays just fine.
Just now, I opened it in Preview and again, it opens just fine - nearly.
Imagine the Preview picture as split into rectangles three high by five across - the bottom left rectangle is grey and doesn't display in the picture.
It does display correctly as the Desktop.
I closed Preview, selected another file as the Desktop and then reopened my picture in case there was a conflict between the two - Preview was still that "one block" missing.
I've checked that it is indeed the same picture and not another copy of it and both displays di indeed come from the same source file.
I've also opened several other similar pictures in preview, and then selected them as the Desktop and they all display just fine.
I admit, though, that none of them are any gretaer than 37.8MB as I have no other picture of anywhere near 87.5MB - could it be a limitation of preview which won't allow it to open such large files?
Why the display difference?

Print Preview for Query Manager

Hi all
When I open up query manager and run a report query it opens up the correct information however when I click on print preview it brings up a window which says print preferences and has a selection of window, table, or selection area. I want the selection to be table permanently.
What I want to know is what do I need to do to skip past that window and take me directly to print preview in the table format?

There is no option available to skip the print preferences window or to make the selection to be permanent.
As an alternate, Export the result to Excel and print from there or
Create a Query Print Layout for the Query by clicking 'Create Report' button in the 'Query Manager' window, and print the Query Print Layout by selecting Tools -> Queries -> Query Print Layout

Thunar doesn't preview desktop icons

I'm not sure if I am the only one having this problem, but for me Thunar refuses to generate previews for files sitting on my desktop. I can see previews just fine when I open Thunar as a windowed application, but not when it is managing the desktop:
Does anybody have this problem? Is there a solution?
Also, as a side question, is there any way to create a custom thumbnailer for arbitrary file types?

Desktop icons are managed by xfdesktop, not thunar; and it's unable to to display thumbnails. There's a patch out there -- I have not tried it yet -- see XFCE bug 4344.

Photoshop CC "Open" dialogue Window preview image query.

Hello and Good Evening.
I am using Photoshop CC on an iMac, with Mountain Lion. I have no issues with the software and it runs perfectly, so this is just a query really.
If I save an image which has Alpha Channels contained within it, following processing, when I then reopen the image, the preview of the image in the "Open" dialogue window appears as a sort of negative, almost as if it has one of the masks on it. The image opens fine though, and looks as I left it.
If I save the image without Alpha Channels, by unselecting them in the Save As dialogue window, and saving the image as a copy, when I reopen this one, the preview of the image is fine.
I'm hoping someone may have some ideas.
I have attached a couple of images below to illustrate;
With Alpha Channels:
Without Alpha Channels:

Hi Chris
Thank you for the reply.
There are definitely Alpha Channels in the image as I created them during the retouching.
I think you're right, as I decided to investigate further and open Bridge, (which I never normally use), and the previews in that show up correctly.
So overall not too fussed about it as long as the actual image file is fine, which it is.
Thank you again.
Much appreciated.

10g Dev Preview -- sub query problem

I'm not sure if this is the place to report bugs or problems with the 10g developer preview. But here goes.
I have some code that used to work. The idea is to find "task" objects that are not assigned to anyone, ie, have no "task assignment" records pointing to them. This code used to work. It creates an expression that when queried returns all Task objects that are not in the subQuery which fetches task assignments.
ExpressionBuilder eb = new ExpressionBuilder();
ReportQuery queryAssigned = new ReportQuery(TaskAssignment.class, new ExpressionBuilder());
ReportQuery queryAssigned = new ReportQuery(TaskAssignment.class, new ExpressionBuilder());
queryAssigned.addAttribute("ID", eb.get("task").get("ID"))
return eb.get("ID").notIn(eb.subQuery(queryAssigned));
When I use TOPLink 10g, however, I get the following error:
[junit] Query: ReadAllQuery(com.marketsoft.workflow.Task)
[junit] Local Exception Stack:

This maybe isn't that surprising. I see that the unbound ExpressionBuilders might be causing problems. However, which I switch to something a little bit more like what I see in the examples:
ExpressionBuilder eb = new ExpressionBuilder();
ExpressionBuilder assignBuilder = new ExpressionBuilder();
ReportQuery queryAssigned = new ReportQuery(TaskAssignment.class, assignBuilder);
queryAssigned.addAttribute("ID", assignBuilder.get("task").get("ID"));
queryAssigned.useDistinct();
return eb.get("ID").notIn(eb.subQuery(queryAssigned));
In this case, it seems to generate messed up SQL where the table name goes missing:

I couldn't reproduce your problem. I used an employee example in which Employee has 1:m relationship with PhoneNumber. My code and sql are as follows:

Running Discoverer Desktop query.... via command line

Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well,
I have learned how to run Discoverer using command line.
My question is:
===========
When you log into Discoverer manually, the parameters values that were last used in the last run display when
the query opens....
When i run Discoverer command line, i have to explicitly mention all the parameter names and their values
If i do not mention the parameters, i get an error message: unresolve parameter...
I'd really like to run the query command line style WITHOUT mentioning parameters, and wish Discoverer to run
the query with the default parameters....
Is this possible...
Thx for your ideas and advice, sandra

BI Template Preview Failing with Namespace error

Narrowed down my complex report problem to this example -
1. BI 11g desktop version installed, working with 12i
2. Created an HelloWorld.rtf from following HellowWorld.xml, validated no errors, preview in PDF from desktop - worked fine.
3. Created data definition and template in Oracle. Uploaded rtf and xml file.
4. While preview - exception oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Namespace prefix 'ref' used but not declared.
This xml file provided in BI sample data. When I uploaded Oracle provided rtf and xml it works fine. That means xml file is good, template and data definition are good.
Here is how i am created template -
1. Open word 2007
2. Load xml data, loaded successfully
3. Open Table/Form - Drag row set - select all nodes
4. Save
5. Validate and preview desktop successfully.
6. Error only after uploading to Oracle
BI Option - i have right jre path, version 1.6.02. So looks like no issues there....
What i am missing here? Appreciate your help.

Hi,
Please add the sapmsSID entries for both systems (java and abap) in the /etc/services file of BOTH SERVERS. This means that each server should have entries for every system in your landscape.
Additionally, please ensure that this is set to 36<NN> and not 8100 as you mentioned. The reason is that 8100 is ABAP HTTP port, but 36<NN> is message server port. These two are different.
Try this.

A filter value for Query is set with some value automatically

Hello SAP sourcing Guru!
I created a query which has several filters.
Some of Filter's type is VLV.
When I preview the query somehow the filter values are already set with some value even though I did not set the default value.
For example, filter name is Region and there are four regions: Asia, NA, Europe, and SA.
I want to select one of them from drop-down menu. But Asia was already selected when I clicked the preview button for the query. I want to see "Please Select" instead of Asia from drop-down menu. I did not select "Prefill value from cache" for the filter. I made the filter Optional only. I did not set Default Value either for the filter.
Any clues?
Thank you for your response in advance.

Hi,
In the Default value field of the filter prompts, you need to mention the Class Reference ID of the corresponding field. E.g., if you have Contract document phase as a filter, then in that if you want to display a blank or none value, then you should use null:2016.
Similarly for vlv type, the system has a value 616. Hence if you want to display a None value insteead of Asia, use the following in the Default value field:
0:616:null.
The way to find the class reference ID is to goto the RG > Class Reference > Look for the field that you are attempting to default on.
Hope this helps,
Vikram

Java Desktop System User Menu

Hi
I'm having some problems ordering a menu in JDS3.
I have 3 groups of applications, each application with it's own .desktop file with categories X-Application, X-Convert or X-Utility depending on the group. What I'm after is a menu with X-Application applications in a particular order followed by a sub-menu consisting of X-Convert items (in alphabetical or named order, either is fine) followed by X-Utility items (same ordering scheme)
The main entry is
<Folder>
<Name>Misc Programs</Name>
<Desktop>Misc.directory</Desktop>
<Query>
<And>
<Keyword>X-Application</Keyword>
<Not>
     <Keyword>X-Utility</Keyword>
</Not>
<Not>
     <Keyword>X-Convert</Keyword>
</Not>
</And>
</Query>
<Folder>
<Name>Utility</Name>
<Desktop>Utility.directory</Desktop>
<Query>
<And>
     <Keyword>X-Application</Keyword>
     <Or>
     <Keyword>X-Convert</Keyword>
     <Keyword>X-Utility</Keyword>
     </Or>
</And>
</Query>
<DontShowIfEmpty/>
</Folder>
<DontShowIfEmpty/>
</Folder>
Any attempt at [Layout] entries are at best ignored or at worst result in no menu appearing at all.
Has anyone got any examples of virtual folders that order items and do work?
Solaris 10 10/08 Sun Enterprise T5240 locally networked.
Thanks.
Dave

Thank you. The blog entry was helpful, especially in its recommendations for system settings. However, assigning roles to allow the user to shutdown from the CLI, or from a customized menu item, for that matter, is not what I'm looking for.
I believe the more esthetically pleasing solution is presenting the option to reboot or shutdown to the user every time they log out, as an integrated element of the Java Desktop. In short, I want to present the dialogue the root user sees when they select "logout" from the main menu, to any user with an account on the system.

Query analyzer in BI 7.0

Hello gurus,
I've upgraded to BI 7.0, I'm using the new Query designer and having problem
to preview the query. When the button is pressed an explorer is opened when
address bar has an http link :
http:///irj/servlet/prt/portal ...
as you see there is no Server Name of the portal.
How do I set/configure/change so queries will be opened properly ?
Please Advice,

Theme 1_Standard layout does not match desktop screenshot layout

I am trying to implement this layout to my Robohelp Project, but I get the IPad layout instead of the previewed Desktop layout that is in the screenshot. All other Desktop layouts work fine with me this one does not work with me. It is the first one here: http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/robohelp-screen-profiles-layouts.html
I can't seem to get the Desktop layout to work, and I need to have the printer button, I keep getting the Ipad layout instead, any thoughts??

It sounds like you want all users to have the desktop layout regardless of which device they are using. If that is the case, just generate that layout. It is not necessary to generate all the layouts, only those you want.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

Query prompt selector with a native filter?

Hi,
When I include a "Query Prompt Selector" in my dashboard, it doesn't find any prompt source in my queries. The prompt selector works fine if I have a "local" prompt in my query, but when I use a native filter from my universe (It is a prompt filter), it doesn't find anything. In fact when I preview the query pressing "refresh", it ask me for the variables, so the filter is OK.... How can I solve this issue? Is it normal?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Hi Abhilasha,
The queries in dashboard are all connected to "BOEXI40-Audit-MSSQL" Universe. I am using a custom filter I created previously in this universe, anyway If you check this universe, you can see a filter called "Custom Date Range", which is a prompt filter.
You can open a new dashboard, connect to this universe, create a query using this filter, select a "query prompt selector" in Dashboard, and you will not see any prompt to select as source. At least this is whats happening to me...
Is this helpful to your question?
Regards,
Ricardo.
