Preview -- two windows for one file?

Hi,
I'm stumped by an amazingly simple problem: I want to have two or three Preview.app windows open (at different positions of) the same .pdf file, but I can't find any possibility short of duplicating the file, once for every window!
Where's the magic button I've missed so far?
Thanks, Colin

Hi, Cohi.
Adobe Acrobat (not the free Adobe Reader) has a function (WIndow > Split) that enables you to have two independent views of the same document.
Unfortunately, preview does not support this with PDFs. AFAIK, your workaround is one answer with Preview. Your only other option is to make copies of the Preview app (e.g. Preview 1, Preview 2) and open the same document in these different copies of Preview.
While Preview has evolved with each release, if one works heavily with PDFs, then one should buy Acrobat.
If you think Apple should add a Spilt view function in some future version of Preview, I suggest you submit a Mac OS X Feedback.
Good luck!

Multiple destinations for one file?

I'd like to have two destinations for one file - ie, local and on an FTP server. I ask because I've had the FTP fail, and can't find where Compressor stashed the render locally. Failing that, can I at least test the FTP connection (like in AfterEffects) before I commit to an hours-long encoding job?

Too Bad compressor doesn't have more than 1 destination, but if you want to find the temp file, the files are normally kept in /var/spool/qmaster , you can reveal this from the finder using the GO > GO TO FOLDER command, then typing in the above path. Of course you can change this temp space in the qmaster preferences in the System Preferences pane to any other folder you like.

Preview not available for this file on import

I just transferred all my stuff from a vista computer to a new Windows 7. Lightroom 3.3 is now running as a 64 bit. I am importing tiff scans which were done on the Vista computer. At first everything was going fine, but now when I select files for import, all I can see are greyed out boxes which say "preview not available for this file". If I import the file, all is well, but I would like to see them in preview as well. Also, the program has crashed twice in the middle of an import.
Thanks for any help!

Yes, the larger preview is viewable. I'm using Vuescan to scan the files. Nothing has changed with the scanning from the previous scans which worked fine...same settings, same computer (not the new one).

Two sids for One instance

Hi All,
I have to create two sids for one database. I am using Oracle 9i on Windows machine as well as linux machine. Is there any possible to assign two sid's for one database.
Give me the suggestions...
Cheers,
Moorthy.GS

I think you need to define your term 'database' here
In Oracle world, database is usually referred to as instance.
a SID is one database instance, that's why, people will tell you that you can't have two SID for one database (instance)
However, if your 'database' means the schema and data, then yes, you can run two instances (with two SID of course) to host the same schema and data.

"Preview not available for this file" error message.

I'm using LR 4.4 but it hasn't worked correctly since I got my new camera (Canon 70D). When trying to import I keep getting the "Preview not available for this file" error message. I had some better luck connecting the camera with a usb cable, that let me see the jpg images, but it would not let me see the raw (.cr2) images. Would I solve this problem by upgrading to LR5?
I'm running LR 4.4 on a Windows 7 PC.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.
Robert

Support for the Canon 70D was introduced with LR version 5.2. see the link below.

Two prices for one material in sales order according condition type

Hi,
I configure the condition type according to following condition record:
Plant/ Sales Organization/ Distribution channel/ Material / Customer
(because system should calculate two prices for one material in two plants)
In the sales order screen, when user firstly select material , quantity, plant , system calculate the related price correctly but if user select the material and quantity and enter and after that select the plant, system will show the error message in pricing procedure and to have a price for material, user should update the price in the price condition in sales order.
It is so difficult for user to update one by one, because there are several sales orders which need to update.
Is it any way to solve this problem?
Thanks,

> In the sales order screen, when user firstly select material , quantity, plant , system calculate the related price correctly but if user select the material and quantity and enter and after that select the plant, system will show the error message in pricing
Hi,
Why to let the user press Enter button before entering plant value Obviously, system will give error, because it doesnt get all the required value based on which you have maintained condition records.
Ask the user to enter all the value at item level otherwise you will have go for the option that you are doing currently.
It is said prevention is better than cure
Hope you get some inputs

Sagar

Then if i want to maintain Company address on print layout for invoice Different to each. how can i achieve it.

Hi ,
As far i know it is not possible to have two different address for the same company code.As table can hold only single unique data.
As far as the above answer is concerned, we use International version fo Customers not for Company Codes.

Fetch New Data shows two entries for one account

I have on a variety of accounts on my iPhone and my iPad: an iCloud, an Exchange, a IMAP, and a couple of Gmail accounts.
Earlier this week, I noticed that in the "Fetch New Data" setting (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Fetch New Data), there are TWO entries for one of the Gmail accounts.
One entry lists "Mail and Calendars." I use this for this particular Gmail account. I have these selected in the "Accounts" section of Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
The other entry lists "Contacts and Calendars." I don't sync Contacts, but I do sync Calendars. Why is it listed twice?
I tried deleting
the offending Gmail account, but it did not delete the duplicate entries.
erasing all settings
all of my accounts, including iCloud, IMAP, and other accounts.
The ghost account is still there, fetching calendars and contacts.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
I considered erasing settings and content, but that seems pretty extreme for something that might not be that big of an issue.

Exact same problem here!!! Iphone 5s with IOS 7.0.3, using Gmail among other email providers.
So it is definately a bug - the "fetch new data ghost account". I hope it will be solved in a newer release. In the meantime, I switched the ghost account to "manual" so it shouldn't interfere...

Isquint takes over 300 minutes for one file...

Ok I know its apple discussions but I cant find ANY support for iSquint. Does anybody use it here and know why it takes anything for half an hour to 300 or 400 minutes for one file?
There is no real pattern, it seems to be that if I add more than one file it's almost certain to take ages, but a single movie set to convert could take 30 minutes or 300..
The movies are simple mp4's, dvd's encoded with handbrake. between 500mb and 1.2GB in size. No pattern to file sizes taking a specific length.
I literally just thought though, some of these files have already been converted from avi to mp4 using iSquint, and I haven't checked for a pattern to see if these ones take ages and others do not.
Could this be it or does anyone know what might be causing it?
I'm running a 24" iMac with 2.8Ghz processor and 2GB RAM
Regards

In handbrake there is an option to encode it to add an iPod compatibility. However as far as iSquint goes, I gave up on it after i began to run out of space on my 'pod. I would suggest to reinstall the application.
Sorry i cant be more of a help,
Kevin

How to display the Get info window for a file or folder

Hello,
How can I display the Get Info window for a file or folder using Applescript - instead of selecting it in the finder and using Command-I ?
Thanks.
lenpartico

The item property that the Get Info was opened for is read only, so it doesn't look like you can just throw a file path at it. You could do something like telling the Finder to reveal the item, then keystroke the command, e.g.:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "Finder"
reveal "Path:to:your:file"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "i" using {command down}
</pre>
... but this doesn't seem to be much different than the regular method. There are other methods to get various information, what are you wanting to do?
Edit:
Hmmm, I could have sworn (I do a lot of that these days) I tried Hiroto's method, but that does work. It still seems to be a roundabout way of doing something though.

Two billing for one sales order for same customer

Dear All ,
I have a requirement of posting a two billings for one sales order.
One is for Sales and another is for commission...
Entry could be
Sales Entry - Db Customer
Cr Sales
Commission entry could be
Db - Cusomter
Cr- Sales commission income account (P/L)
We are having third party sales scenario , In this case billing is MIRO dependent.
Once the miro is done then only billing is possible ...
Could you please advise on that ..
Regards,
Sukh

Dear Ratish,
Thanks for yr reply.
I already did that but it is not serving business purpose.
Comm payment - comes diff time than sales payment.
so ,I will post one entry customer will get hit with total amount Sales + commission
like below
Let say 10, 000 is the sales value and 500 is the commission
So , This entry will get posted
Customer Db- 10,500
Sales Cr- 10,000
Comm Income Cr- 500
But, As I said sales amt will be paid before so We need to clear it partially and some time customer pays also diff amount due to some defect.
So, We wont be knowing for which case we have or havnet received the payment against commission.
As , Customer account is got hit with total amount( Sales+ Comm..value).
Pls advise how to solve this.
Regards,
Sukh

LMS 4.2 - Two notifications for one alarm.

Currently when a device, say a router goes offline we receive two Active 'Unresponsive' alarms for the router and then when it comes back online we receive two Cleared 'Unresponsive' alarms. All have their own unique Event ID. (shown below)
I was wondering if anyone could help me to config LMS to send only one Active 'Unresponsive' notification when a device is offline and then one Cleared 'Unresponsive' when the device is back online.
Here's an example of the Active 'Unresponsive' alarms I receive when I power the router off:
Notification 1

Any suggestions?

Am I alone with this issue of receiving two notifications for one Unreachable event?

Two titles for one screen

Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to give two titles for one dialog screen.
Based on a grid i perform centain things where the user has to enter the values in the dialog screen.
To this screen i want to title based on the which grid it is. Is it possible to do.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks,
Prabs.

when you define the title bar (to be used with set title bar)
enter the text with place holders like below.
& & my &
later in your program you can supply text for & using set title bar.
set titlebar 'MYTITLE' with 'This' 'is' 'test' .
This would produce title bar as
This is my test
set titlebar 'MYTITLE' with 'Where' 'is' 'Title' .
This would produce title bar as
Where is my Title.
Hope this is clear.
Regards
Raja

How to create two respone for one request

Hi
is there any way for us to create two response for one request
the scenario is as below
1. user click on update button for particular record in the datatable (
after its get updated and status get updated = 'UPDATED' it will remove the object from ObjectListDataProvider and clear the tablePhaseListener ).
2. After it gets updated successfuly , i want to prompt the user with generateExcel function which using response.getOutputStream() using Apache POI.
How can we combine 1 and 2 together
Here what i have tried and didnt work
1. i tried to put the generateExcel function in destroy() method after page is rendered but it gives me Exception
2. i tried to put the generateExcel function in prerender() method
but the page will only execute the generateExcel function
- the data still get updated to the database but it doesnt refresh the page ( i meant the removing object and tablephaseListener.clear() doesnt work )
3 . i tried to put generateExcel Function after it process the data
public String updateData()
       //update data
       if(success){
            // prompt user to save excell sheet
        return null;
     }This one also doesnt work and gives the same behaviour as number 2
The Prompt to save excel sheet still gets popped up
but the page just doesnt get refreshed
Thanks
is anybody know the workaround?

yea i did set some alert message and clear the table by calling
provider.removeRow and commitChanges
it just doesnt reflected in the page that we see
by actually is already removing the row from the provider
Thanks

Two invoices for one sales order

I want to create two invoices for one sales order
Scenario is like to create sales order for value of 100 $, and I want to send order reference billing after saving the sales order for 10% of order amount
I would say 10% of 100 $
And after delivery I want to issue a invoice for 90 %( rest of the amount) which is delivery relevant invoice.
Both invoices will be relevant of accounting.
Would any body suggest this, how it would be mapped it in to SAP.

Hi Suresh,
It is possible in Partial billing. Maintain the Billing plan and create a plan with the inputs as u specified.
Go to IMG-SD-Billing-Billing plan. Do ur own configuration for Billing plan.
Now in Sales document creation mode....header details-Billing plan, U block the billing schedules and as per ur requirement , remove the billing block and create billing document.
If u configured Account detrmination procedure, U wld get the accounting document wrt billing document.
Hope this wld help U.

Praveen
