Problem: Programs (such as TextEdit) focus to a moved file

I've found serious problems with a new "feature" of Lion (or at least of TextEdit, I haven't tried to replicate the problem with other programs).
The feature is that if you have a file open in TextEdit, then rename the file in Terminal, Finder, or other program, then TextEdit will switch to the moved file. That is, if you have a file called "hello.txt" open in TextEdit, and move the file to "hello2.txt", the TextEdit will switch to "hello2.txt".
Now, this creates plenty of problems when using other programs.
For instance, if I modify the file with another text editor called Emacs, Emacs will create a backup file. Guess what TextEdit will do? It will switch to the backup file.
If there's a conflict in Dropbox, Dropbox will create a "deleted"-file of the conflict. TextEdit will switch to the "deleted"-file.
I'm sure many other programs create similar issues, as I found these problems within a day of using Lion's TextEdit.

Humm well you probably don't want to disconnect your WiFi every time you run this application  but i was going to say try putting it in airplane mode

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems like a program which start with Windows blocked the access of these app.
    To open Msconfig, you can boot into Safe Mode firstly, then open Msconfig and following clean boot process to execute the operation.
    If there is any progress, please feel free let me know.

  • What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book?

    What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book? And how do I get out of it?

    The Finder is just assigning the wrong kind and icon to what I presume are plist files. Often rebuilding the Launch Services will cure this, but sometimes Finder gets a strange bee in its bonnet about some particular combination of characteristics and what they mean, and it can't be dissuaded. Unless you are opening plist files, and get really annoyed when you double click one and Address Book launches and announces "wrong type of file" you can just ignore it. In my own ~/Library/Prefences folder plists are generally labeled correctly, probably because I have them assigned to open with Apple's own Property List Editor. But there are some other preferences that Finder has decided are something altogether different than what they are: WingNuts Prefs and Saved Games are both believed to be Eudora preferences; a whole batch of other prefs from a dozen differenct programs are described as TextWrangler preferences, and there's a another group thought to be Unix Executables. As long as the program they belong to isn't having a problem finding and writing to them, don't worry about it.

  • For one of our users the option to send a document as attachment has dissapeared in office programs such as word, excel etc

    Hi,
    For one of our users the option to send an email as attachment has disappeared in office programs such as word, excel etc
    As you can see from the above these are the normal options you expect to see but for the user affected they get the option to send as a Text document, a pdf or an XPS the option to send as a attachment has gone.
    I have logged into her PC with my account and it was fine, i have had a look and no one else has reported this throughout the company and looking for answers online has proven fruitless.
    Any Ideas on why this option would have changed to only allow the user to send it as text.

    Hi,
    The "Send as Attachment" option only works when Outlook and word are installed from the same suite. That is required.

  • Problem in the BDC program to upload the data from a flat file.

    Hi,
    I am required to write a BDC program to upload the data from a flat file. The conditions are as mentioned below:-
    1) Selection Screen will be prompted to user and user needs to provide:- File Path on presentation server (with F4 help for this obligatory parameter) and File Separator e.g. @,#,$,%,... etc(fields in the file will be separated by using this special character) or fields may be separated by tab(tab delimited).
    2) Finally after the data is uploaded, following messages need to be displayed:-
    a) Total Number of records successfully uploaded.
    b) Session Name
    c) Number of Sessions created.
    Problem is when each record is fetched from flat file, the record needs to be split into individual fields separated by delimiter or in case tab separated, then proceeding in usual manner.
    It would be great if you provide me either the logic, pseudocode, or sample code for this BDC program.
    Thanks,

    Here is an example program,  if you require the delimitor to be a TAB, then enter TAB on the selection screen, if you require the delimitor to be a comma, slash, pipe, whatever, then simply enter that value.  This example is simply the uploading of the file, not the BDC, I assume that you know what to do once you have the data into the internal table.

  • Can you protect a PDF document so it cannot be exploded or converted into lines in programs such as illustrator?

    We create PDF documents from our architectural programs all the time. Currently these drawings can be imported into other programs such as illustrator and exploded and ungrouped into lines. There is no option for security from this architectural program, but I need a solution to protect the PDF file so that the PDF is a flat image and cannot be exploded or converted into lines. Is there a program or setting in the Adobe programs that can do this??? thanks.

    You can set password security using Acrobat (not PDF pack), but it is of no value against a motivated thief, because some apps ignore it.
    You can rasterise in Photoshop but this is a terrible thing to do: file size explodes, quality plummets.

  • Problem: program outputs numbers in scientific notation

    my problem is that my program outputs the population in scientific notation instead of round the number to the nearest one. ex: it should say 30787949.57 instead of 3.078794957 E7
    // Calculates the poulation of Mexico City from 1995 to 2018.
    // displays the year and population
    class PopulationCalculator {
    static double r2(double x) {
         //this method rounds a double value to two decimal places.
    double z=((double)(Math.round(x*100)))/100;
    return z;
    } //end method r2
    public static void main(String args[]) {
         double population=15600000.0;
         double rate=0.03;
         System.out.println("Mexico City Population, rate="+r2(rate));
         System.out.println("Year    Population");
         for (int year=1995; year<=2018;year++)  {
             System.out.println(year+ "    "+r2(population));
        population+=rate*population;
        }//end for loop

Or upgrade to JDK 5.0 and user the new java.util.Formatter capability.
You control the rounding and get localization of the fomatted string at
no extra charge. A quick example:
class A {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double d = 30787949.57d;
        System.out.println(java.lang.String.format("%,17.2f", d));
}Example output for three different locales:
$ javac -g A.java
$ LC_ALL=fr_FR   java A
    30 787 949,57
$ LC_ALL=en_NZ   java A

    How do you reset the dlsmusic device or make it visible in order for other programs such as Sibelius or Finale be able to use it?

    I figured out that if you remove the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist file and restart, that restores the keyboard.
    Second question: Is there any way to make F4 (without holding fn) bring up Dashboard on Lion that doesn't require FunctionFlip? If it matters, I have a Time Machine backup of the symbolichotkeys.plist file from when I had the older keyboard.

    Actually there are many older programs which will run with Win98 and not Win7.
    Same with Lion. There are some earlier programs which will not run -- and anything designed for the PPC CPU is in that category.

  • How do I keep programs such as Word when I wipe my hard drive to reinstall Snow Leopard?

    I am having serious issues with Lion. Even after the update, I lose WiFi, my mailbox crashes, Word crashes without saving a backup, and it has just been a very distasteful experience. I talked with Apple, and they couldn't help me resolve issues beyond telling me to bring it in or reinstall. I am choosing to reinstall Snow Leopard. I am going to wipe my hard drive clean and start over. Could someone tell me how to keep programs such as Office '11 though? I am currently at school and I didn't bring my Office software with me to reinstall, so how could I save it? I can't really do a time capsule since I am running Lion and I want to reinstall Snow Leopard.

    If you are going to wipe the disk then you will have to reinstall the software.
    You can't have your cake and eat it also.

  • Excel tables for database usage in external programs such as game engines?

    Hello!
    Where can I find more information about using Excel tables for database usage in external programs such as game engines? Do I have to use SQL, CSV or XML?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    As far as I know, Excel is a good way to use as database file. Whether it is a personal list of phone numbers, a contact list for members of an organization or team, or a collection of coins, cards, or books, an Excel database file makes it easy to
    enter, store, and find specific information.
    You could choose Excel,SQL,Access, CSV or XML as database according to your goal.
    Here are some articles to introduce "How to use Excel table as database":

  • How to use ComponentWork CWSerial to program such thing like HyperTerminal does to communicate 2 PCs through its RS232?

    Right now I use null modem cable, I can communicate 2 PCs use hyper-terminal. I wonder how to use ComponentWork CWSerial to program such kind of job? Thanks!

    Hi Kevin,
    Of course this will take a little work, but CWSerial should be able to handle this without too much hassle. Take a look at the example program usually included in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudio\VB\Samples\Instr\Basic Serial
    You should be able to use this example as a starting point.
    Hope this helps out!!!

  • With the recent amount of publicity of macs being targeted with viruses, it recommended to install an anti-virus program such as kaspersky

    Is the mac mini safe against virus attacks or do I need to install a anti-virus program such as kaspersky.  I normally check for updates and all my equipment religiously, can some please advise.

    "Viruses" have not been the real issue on Macs.  The real issues
    have been malware and trojans.  In these cases, the user is most
    likely lured into believing that they must download certain software
    and the user actively accepts it.  The other case is users that try to
    beat the system by downloading software from "warez" sites trying
    to get out of paying for software.  Torrent sites are also a favorite target
    for trojans and malware as well.
    The best defense against these sort of attacks is:
    -If you didn't request it, don't accept it.
    -If a site claims that you must download an upgrade
      for a polpular plugin, Adobe Flash for example, go to
      the plugin/software vendors site and verify that you
      are not up to date and get it there.
    -Only download and install software directly from vendor
      sites and only from reputable vendors.
    The one reason for AV software would be to check mail
    that you may forward to Windows machines so as not
    to affect them.  And again, as far as mail, if it is unsolicited,
    trash and delete and don't open any attachments or links.
