Project language and window position

Hi everyone,
I have defined the project language as English.
The Portal is set to English language also.
When I display a dialog box or window using the CENTER attribut, everything works fine.
Now, if I et my Portal to hebrew language, all those dialog boxes and windows are displayed at random places on the screen.
Does the project language has something to do with the position of windows and DB ?
Thanks.

David,
Yes, language settings may affect layout.
There are LTR (left-to-right) writing languages (English, Russian) and RTL (right-to-left) writing languages (Hebrew, Arabic)
WD explicitly supports RTL languages (sure, along with LTR), so it tries to apply RTL logic not only to text but also to layout and flow of controls. This causes the behavior you observing.
However, in my uderstanding CENTER means the very same place in either RTL or LTR, so this is probably a bug in RTL support code...

  • NIK Plugins and window position

    Hi folks,
    i installed the NIK Plugin Suite. Everythings works fine until i open let's say color efex pro. The menubar goes behind the aperture menubar and i'm not able to click on it to resize color efex.
    resize is only possible dragging the lower right corner to minimize color efex.
    After restarting it it's centered on the screen but to small to use it. Resizing it is now possible but after a new start the same thing again. Menubar is covered by the aperture menubar.
    btw: i resintalled color efex pro several times. even did an aperture reinstall....No success
    The same strange behavior when i'm running silver efex or viveza. What's going on here?
    Didn't have any problems with a previous installation.
    I use the latest version of aperture (2.1.2) and osx 10.5.6 and the latetst version of the NIK plugins
    Any suggestions?
    kind regards
    frank

    Had the same thing happen to me. Asked Nik Software. This is their reply:
    +To correct this issue go to the following location on your Mac:+
    +Macintosh HD | Users | <your user name> | Library | Preferences+
    +Find the file called, com.niksoftware.sep.aperture_edit.prefs+
    +Do a control + click to the file and click open With >Other… and then choose the TextEdit application.+
    +In TextEdit, for DialogX= and DialogY= change the numbers to 20. So it will say DialogX=20 and DialogY=20 for example. Then for DialogWidth= change to 800 and for DialogHeight= change to 600. Now save this file and close it.+
    +Next open the file, com.niksoftware.cep3Complete.aperture_edit.prefs and do the same thing as above.+
    +Now reopen Aperture and select an image, then bring up Silver Efex Pro or Color Efex Pro 3.0 to see if that corrects the issue. If you still cannot resize it, go back and change the number to another higher or lower value until you can see the title bar.+
    It may be that there is a better solution. In my case once I made the correction I can now deal with it. In my case I use a second monitor. When I start any of the Nik plugins the top right part of the window including the window bar overlaps into the external monitor. I can grab it there and move it to the larger external monitor and resize it.
    This pretty darn annoying and I was hoping that Nik would make the necessary changes. Especially given no one else seems to have the issue and that the plugins are not cheap. They very useful though.
    Cheers... John

  • How do I stop Firefox from claiming to have sessionrestore errors or opening the wrong session items and/or remember the wrong window size and/or position.

    Since automatically updating to version 25 Firefox is randomly opening recent tabs and windows from the browsing history, and/or randomly positioning the browser window from history.
    Currently using Firefox 25.0.1 on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Problems started immediately after automatic updates to 25.0.0. Problems are most noticeable on the Vista box because it has so much screen geography (the Windows 7 box is a laptop).
    Problems include:
    Firefox may open the correct tabs into a properly sized and positioned window, without problem. (Not a problem, included for completeness since it does, occasionally, work without error).
    Firefox open a single empty tab (about:blank, my Home page). (Listed as a problem because Firefox simply forgot the tab which was open.)
    Firefox may claim it cannot open the correct tabs and pop up about:sessionrestore. Proceeding will open all tabs (usually only one or two for me). This gives the impression Firefox did not actually have a problem. But, then, often, the tab Firefox is having problems restoring is about:blank so I should hope there was no problem!
    Firefox may open randomly selected recent browsing items, without other problems. This gives the impression that Firefox does not properly record recent history for about:sessionrestore. Checking History appears correct; Firefox simply reached back hours, or days, or even weeks, and restored a random session from long ago.
    Any of the above may occur, but the window position and/or size will be randomly selected from another recent history item. This is most noticeable when the position is on the wrong monitor and can be annoying since Firefox simply "disappears" if (as it often is for me) that other monitor is disconnected or powered off.

    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.<br />
    Also make sure that your anti-virus software doesn't mess with files in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

    This recently happened to me.  I am a novice, but it seemed like that project got corrupted some how.
    I deleted it.
    Went to time machine and picked it up again when I knew it was working ok.
    I lost a few hours of work, but not the entire project.
    Once I had the project back from time machine, it worked fine (but like I said, I lost a little bit of work).

  • Project Server 2010 compatibility with IE11 and Windows 8.1

    Hi All!
    Maybe a silly question since compatibility is always asked about older versions, but here is my question:
    Is Project Server 2010 compatible with IE11 and Windows 8.1?
    I personnaly tested with IE11 and it seems to be ok. All views and pages can be opened with IE11.
    But what about windows 8.1? 
    Has Microsoft done any communication about this?
    Thanks in advance for your helps.
    Guillaume.
    Guillaume Rouyre - MBA, MCP, MCTS

    I am seeing a minor issue with the timesheet grid after users are upgraded from IE8 to IE11.
    We are using Project Server 2010 with SP1 and Oct 2013 CU.
    When some users (using IE11) switches between filters or views in the Timesheet page, the grid shrinks making to content un readable.  The only way to get it back is to refresh the page. After a refresh, the grid returns to normal size, but the pane
    divider is too far to the left and always must be dragged to the right in order to see the task names in the left grid. 

  • Error by exporting Captivate to Word: "Project Captions and Closed Captions"

    Hello everybody,
    I'm from Germany, working in Heidelberg and I've got a problem! I would so much appreciate if somebody would have a solution for it.
    Nobody could help me yet - no Adobe support via chat, no Adobe support via phone. They said the forum is my last chance. I'm frustrated. But a solution is important for my ongoing project...
    Description of the problem situation:
    I've created an e-learning project in German language. This e-learning shall be translated into other languages, so I want to export a word document with the captions inside. I'm doing this way:
    File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions, and save it as word doc.
    But then, after I typed in a name for the word document, another "Save as"-window appears in the background (I discovered it by coincidence) and wants me to save a word template before the export process starts. Here's a screenshot:
    I don't know the reason for this second "Save as" window, so I try to save a word template (I saved it on my desktop, because I don't know where else).
    After klicking on "Save" the following error message appears:
    (in English: Error by exporting of captions. Try the following things: if Microsoft Word is installed, if Word is open, if the exported file is open etc.)
    It's not depending on the captivate file as such, I tried it with other ones (which have only one slide) - the same problem.
    It's not depending on my computer, I tried it with another one in my office - there was the same thing, same error message (but without the step of saving a word template!).
    Maybe important: My hardware and versions I'm working with...
    Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1), 64bit
    Adobe Captivate 8
    Microsoft Word 2010
    Does anyone has the same problem or does anyone know the answer for this problem?
    I would really really appreciate your answers!! Thank you in advance!
    Chris

    Dear Mayank, dear Lilybiri,
    thank you both soooo much, I couldn't belive what I saw as the export of captions worked!!! It was really surprising!
    I guess your both solutions helped me out - Mayank's hint of the admin's rights was the necessary information! But it first worked because Lilybiri told me to insist and to try it after I restarted the PC - and to do it several times! So it worked!! Otherwise I would probably still be confused.
    Thank you so much!
    Here's the proof
    Chris
    PS: Does anyone know, why I still have to decide if I want to save the "Adobe Captivate" Template thing?
    Every time I'm doing an export it asks me every time if I want to save or not save the "Adobe Captivate"-file...

  • Communication between Windows 7 and Windows 8(and above) using Sockets(TCP and UDP)

    I need to use TCP and UDP using Sockets to communicate between two(or more) applications installed in Windows 7 and Windows 8.
    Is it possible.? I tried within a LAN, but in vain. If needed I would post the appropriate code.
    Note: I only tried running exe(s) in these machines and not with installation.

    Hello Prabodh.Minz,
    >>Is it possible.?
    It is not clear what develop language you are using, here are examples which uses the C# based on .NET. It created the communition between two machines by using sockets with TCP protocol, a server and a client:
    Synchronous example:
    Client and
    Server.
    Asynchronous example:
    Client and
    Server.
    Multi-client per one server - socket programming in .net(C#)
    >>Note: I only tried running exe(s) in these machines and not with installation.
    There are all .exe.

  • Window position problem

    Hi everyone,
    I am having problems with window position.
    If my portal is set to english language, there are no problem.
    If my portal is set to hebrew language, I have troubles with position of windows. Some windows are moved to left, some are moved to right...and some are moved out of the screen.
    Code:
    IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo)wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("MyWindow");
    IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow( windowInfo, true);
    window.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER);     
    window.open();      
    Can someone help ?
    Thanks in advance.

    David,
       turn down with:
       window.setWindowPosition(XXX,YYY);
    Could be usefull, find some CODE that give you MAX_WIDTH and MAX_HEIGHT of client browser and after
    window.setWindowPosition(func(MAX_WIDTH),func(MAX_HEIGHT));

  • Does a multiple language supported Windows Phone 8 Application support Bengali Language (Bangladeshi language)?

    Hello,
    I am developing  a Windows Phone 8 application (for Nokia/ Microsoft Lumia) where multiple languages will be supported. Now, it is needed to support Bengali (Bangladeshi language) in my Windows phone 8 application.
    But, I didn't find Bengali language in the Setting -> Language -> phone Language. So could anyone tell me that a multiple language supported windows phone 8 application support Bengali language or not. If it is possible, then how user will change
    the app language from phone setting?
    FYI .. From Microsoft OEM documentation, I have known that Windows Phone 8.1 GDR2 includes support for Bangla (Bangladesh language). 
    Thanks

    Hi NONAME-2007,
    As far as I known the Bangla language is supported as a on-screen keyboard language on the Windows Phone 8. But it is not supported as a display language in Windows Phone 8, so you can not choose this language from the phone setting. For more information,
    please try to refer to the following article:

  • RemoteFX and windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I am currently running a VDI environment with server 2012 servers including a RDCB, RDVH, RDSH, RDWA and windows 8 clients. I am using remoteFX on the windows 8 clients with the help of 3 nvidia Quadro 6000 cards. RemoteFX works perfectly in windows 8; however,
    I built a windows 8.1 VM and remote FX will not work in this VM. When I log on to the vm and look under device manager the remoteFX device is listed but it gives an error of 43. All of the vm's have one monitor set in the remoteFX settings. In the event viewer
    of the windows 8.1 VM I am getting an error under RemoteDesktop Services vGPU-kModeDriver "The virtual GPU synthetic devie failed" and the other accompanying error is "The RDVGM kernal mode driver failed to start" I have removed all of
    the windows 8 VM's to confirm that all of the available memory of the GPU was not used and this didn't get any different results. The only difference I see is that one guest os is windows 8 and the other is 8.1. Does remoteFX not work in windows 8.1 by chance?
    Both OS's are Enterprise as well.
    Thanks for any help,
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    Sorry for the late.
    I think the edition of win8 VM that has been enabled RemoteFX is enterprise .
    (To use RemoteFX , guest os on hyper-v host should be enterprise edition )
    For details please refer to following link:

  • Windows 8.1 something happened and windows 8.1 Pro couldn't be installed.

    After the release of windows 8.1 preview I attempted the installation of 8.1 preview which failed. I decided it wasn't worth the bother until it was officially released so I left it uninstalled.
    After the official release of 8.1 yesterday I opened the store on my windows 8 PC and I was presented with the Windows 8.1 download. I selected this and attempted to install. this failed with the message "Something happened and Windows 8.1 Preview
    failed to install" Whoops!
    I clearly hadn't done my windows updates to update the store so I ran these updates and in my windows store was the Official windows 8.1 download.
    Once downloaded it then fails saying "Something happened and windows 8.1 Pro couldn't be installed Please try again Error Code 0x80070003"
    now im stuck with that. is there a way I can clear the downloaded files and have the store re-download them? where are the stores downloads kept?
    im really stuck with this one....

    Hi,
    This error code means that the specified path couldn't be found.
    To fix this issue, I suggest we try following steps and try to reinstall again:
    Step 1: Clean update temp files:
    1. Press Windows key + R, type service.msc and press enter. 
     2. Stop Windows update service.
    3. Run following command lines one by one to clear update temp files:
    cd %windir%
    ren SoftwareDistribution SDTemp
    exit
    4.  Restart Windows update service.
    Step 2: Clear windows store catch:
    Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
    Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.
    The Store will now open, and state the following: The cache for the store was cleared. You can now browse the store for apps
    Then, please try to update Windows 8.1 again.

    It appears that the error happens because it cannot find a "STUDYID" not sure what this is though?

  • Silverlight and Windows 8.1 is not working

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get horizon.tv (by UPC) in The Netherlands working, and on Windows 7 it works, but on Windows 8.1 it simply doesn't work! Very strange, because Silverlight and Windows 8 are both from Microsoft!
    I've tried starting Firefox, Chrome and IE from the desktop, but it all fails.
    I have downloaded the latest Silverlight; it installed automatic, and further all is up to date.
    What is going wrong?
    Maarten van Loon
    The Netherlands

    Hi,
    Sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing.
    Pease try change the Compatibility view Settings as below steps.
    1. open Desktop IE >go to "horizon.tv"
    2. select Tools > compatibility view > add site in box
    3. checked on"Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" and "Use Microsoft Compatibility Lists"
    4. restart IE
    If that doesn't help, please try installing this update
    KB2901549 which may resolve the issue, if all these no help, please try to use the
    MS "Fix-It"
    to uninstalled and reinstalled Silverlight again.

  • Can send but not retrieve emails using Thunderbird and Windows 8.1

    Hi, I am not able to get Thunderbird to retrieve emails on a new laptop.
    Last week I purchased a new laptop due to an imminent hard disk failure on my old laptop. I will call them "Old" and "New" laptops. (Old laptop is still working for the moment...)
    The Old laptop is nearly 3 years old, and I have been using Thunderbird on it since new without any problems.
    I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the New laptop, and can not get it to retrieve emails.
    As the Old laptop is still working (at the moment), I am able to directly visually compare and check settings on both computers.
    THE PROBLEM
    Using Thunderbird on the New laptop, I am able to send emails, I can see all my old emails restored from the Old laptop using Mozbackup, but clicking Get Mail on the New laptop does not retrieve new
    emails.
    When I click Get Mail, the status message in the bottom left corner says "connected to .....<ISP>..." but does not actually get the emails. However, the Old laptop is still able to get emails as it always has.
    My ISP is a large Australian telco that I have used for many years and I have not changed anything with my account. The ISP is POP3.
    WHAT HAVE I TRIED
    I deleted the email account created by restoring from Mozbackup, and attempted using the Thunderbird new account wizard, however Thunderbird did not recognise my ISP and would not create the account - even though it is working perfectly at the same time on the Old laptop.
    All Firewalls I can find have been configured to allow Thunderbird, with the same configuration settings on both machines.
    How do I know I can send but not Get emails from Thunderbird on the New laptop?
    I have sent test emails to myself from the New laptop. Thunderbird sends successfully, I am able to preview the test emails via Mailwasher on the New laptop, and can read, reply, etc, to the emails if I log into my ISP webmail service. However I can NOT get Thunderbird to retrieve and download these emails on the New laptop. If I go to the Old laptop, Thunderbird works perfectly, retrieves and downloads all new emails, including these test emails.
    I am now at the point where I do not know what else to try and would appreciate any suggestions.....
    I have spent many hours over the last 3 days surfing the net, forums, Mozilla Support, etc, and tried everything suggested, without success. The only thing I have NOT tried is starting windows in Safe mode (as per some suggestions), as it is not a viable long term solution.
    OTHER INFO
    Computer Details;-
    "Old" laptop;-
    Windows 7 Home Premium - continuously updated with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
    Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
    MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
    Thunderbird 24.5.0 working perfectly. Up to date.
    "New" laptop;-
    Windows 8.1 - up to date with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
    Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
    MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
    Thunderbird 24.5.0 - downloaded and installed.
    Note: I 'downloaded and installed' the Windows 8.1 version of these programs to avoid any potential compatibility problems restoring or copying from a Windows 7 backup version of the programs.
    1) New laptop came with pre-installed with McAfee - which has been Uninstalled due to running Bitdefender (Windows searches for 'McAfee' return nothing found suggesting the Uninstall was successful).
    2) Thunderbird has been added to both Bitdefender and Windows 8.1 firewalls on the New laptop.
    3) Bitdefender and Windows security settings are identical on both laptops - as near as I can determine, I may be missing something - but have checked all settings 3 times by doing a side-by-side visual comparison.
    4) Thunderbird settings are also identical and I am using the same email address and ISP that I have been using for many years.
    5) I migrated Thunderbird settings, accounts and emails from the Old laptop to the New laptop using Mozbackup, then visually checked and compared all settings in Thunderbird between the two machines.
    6) For info, I have used Mailwasher for many years as a simple way to preview and wash mail before running email programs such as Thunderbird - might be overkill, but I have also never had a virus or malware problem, so will keep doing this.
    7) I have Uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird on the New laptop twice, and done the same with Bitdefender once.
    8) Any config changes I try on the New laptop, I either restart Thunderbird and / or restart the New laptop, or both.
    9) I have not created a Windows 8.1 account and am not using SkyDrive.
    10) Only other software I have installed on the New laptop is Google Chrome, Office Home 2013 and iTunes - all are working.
    Thanks in advance....

    Well there is not much left. If telnet works then the path is clear and there is no hardware firewall blocking ports.
    All that is left is software, so try windows safe mode with networking. A very handy way to eliminate software. it also actually disables most anti virus resident features and is preferred here because anti virus/security programs do not always disable or turn off when they say they have.
    You might also try the McAfee removal tool. https://community.mcafee.com/thread/52788 I notice the rep said yes to both, they did not say not required.
    Finally you could try creating a new profile, and see if it works just to exclude corruption of your existing profile. ( I doubt it but I am at the anything goes point)
    Just as an aside, I have never had an email borne nasty and I for many years never even had an email virus scanner. So yes I think your a bit over cautious with mailwasher, if that is what your using it for. Thunderbird does not support scripting languages or flash, or most plugins in the email sandbox. The result is getting a virus from a mail in Thunderbird is really only possible, for all practical purposes, if you open that password protected zip from the young Russian woman and that is what the anti virus should be blocking anyway when the temp file is written.

  • Problem dual booting Windows 8 and windows 7 G480

    I bought new laptop g480 and it comes with windows 8  single language and I want to dual boot it with windows 7 Ultimate. So I create one partition 50 Gig using Minitool Partition Wizard, after that I boot into USB device ( I've bootable Windows 7 USB and already disable secure boot in BIOS). The process went fine until it ask me where to install the windows, so I choose the partition 50 Gig I created before but I get this message "Windows cannot be installed to this disk of the GPT partition style". Help me guys how to solve this problem, I've searched solution for this but non of them seems working for me. Step by step will be good for me.  I hope to get quick reply for this because I've this problem since 2 days ago and never get solution .
    Thank you.

    Hi @CharlyAR
    I tried your solution before I posted the message here but it didn't work but then I give it try again and I manage to install the Windows 7 ultimate. Now my pc dual boot with windows 7 and windows 8 (windows 8 is the main OS).
    p.s. This is important guys, if u want to make windows 7 bootable USB by following the tutorial on youtube it wont work if you pc/laptops is pure GPT (UEFI) because most of them  using MBR to make the tutorial thats why it look easy and works for them, it's almost same but there's "add-on" with GPT mode. You have to make the windows 7 bootable USB in GPT (UEFI) mode or it wont let you install. I couldn't find tutorial for this GPT mode on youtube.
    All I do is search my old DVD-RW and erase it and  I follow the tutorial here, same what @CharlyAR told me
