Put "Background from Layer" in the pop-up menu of the layer

Sometimes you need to convert a layer into a background. There is an option "Background from Layer" in the Layer menu and it is good where it is, but I think it would be good and very intuitive to add it also to the pop-up menu of the layers in the layers palette in the same way that a background layer has the option "Layer from Background..."

In the meantime, I've found it easy to write and action and assign an f-key to it. 
With CS6 it's important to keep in mind that if you change your bottom layer to Background AND you've cropped your image using the new crop tool, you will lose the "hidden, but still there" part of your image. When the layer once again becomes "Background" you have, in effect, used the old crop tool and lost your way back to the hidden pixels.
It becomes a decision of what you want for that particular image: a larger file size but a way back to the original or a smaller but final file size with no way back.

    I am trying to construct a 2D graph in Numbers 3.5 (2109) that shows at two time points the voting intentions by political party. The instruction given by Help is below, but I cannot find the bottom bar or the pop-up box.
    Switch rows and columns as data series
    When you add a chart, Numbers defines default data series for it. In most cases, if a table is square or if it’s wider than it is tall, the table rows are the default series. Otherwise, the columns are the default series. You can change whether rows or columns are the data series.
    Select the chart.
    Choose Plot Columns as Series or Plot Rows as Series from the pop-up menu in the bottom bar.

    Hi Phil,
    Click once on the chart (graph) to select it. Then click on Edit Data References. The pop-up appears bottom left of the Numbers window.

  • Does the Pop-Up Menu causes the Video a small jump to the closest Pop-Up chapter?

    I have setted five Pop-up Chapter Menu for my project but after burning the blu ray, I have notice the vidoe coming close to one of the Pop-up Chapter will a small jump to the pop-up point. It happens to all of the Pop-Up chapter. Is there a way to make the movie smooth without the slight jump when approaching the Pop-up point. Also is there a away to view the pop-up menu when I build the project to ensure it is working? I cannot find on the Encore help menu, thanks for reading.

    Bummer. Could be a problem with the MBP drive. Are you using Re-writable discs maybe?
    Check the discs work in your HP machine. They may have burnt but not successfully. Your HP machine may not be able to open them either.
    Have you considered using a USB flash device to transfer the photos, or just copy them over your home network? CD is a slow an cumbersome method.

  • Is there a way to customize categories in the pop-up menu on the Transactions page for Personal Budget without having to do it one by one?

    I want to use the Personal Budget template but customize my own categories. I can change the categories on the Budget sheet and know how to add the new data to the graphs but I am having trouble on the Transactions sheet. I know when I click on a cell in the category section there is a drop down menu of catefories that I can edit in the data format option but do I have to do this for every cell? Is there a way to edit for all cells at once? Everytime I add a new cell its has the original categories and I would hate to have to format each one individually.

    Set up one with the categories you want in the order you want.
    Select the cell and press option-command-C to copy the format (style).
    Select the cells you want to change and press option-command-V to paste the format (style) to those cells.
    If all body cells in a column have the same style (in this case, 'same list'), added rows will adopt that style.

  • Can I change the fill color of an entire row based on what's selected in a pop-up menu in the first cell?

    I have a pop-up menu in the first cell of every row with three choices (and I may add more at a later date).  I want the fill color of the row to change depending on which thing is selected.  Is this hard to do?

    Hi,
    In essence the same as Wayne's answer, but with a slight modification to fit  to duplicate your 'color the whole row' specification. The final result, with Table 2 slid behind Table 1, is shown.
    Table 2 is a single column table with the same number of rows as Table 1. The table is resized to match the full width of Table 1.
    In A2, use the formula =Table 1::A2 to copy the value from that cell in Table 2. Fill the formula down through the rest of the column.
    Select all the cells in Table 2 (except the header row), and apply conditional formatting rules such as those below.
    Note that the Conditional Format rules are set to apply the same colour to text and fill in the cell, so that the text disappears.
    When Table 2 is ready, select it, then go Arrange > Send to Back.
    Before sliding Table 2 behind Table 1, Select Table 1 and use the Table Inspector to set the Cell Background to None (see red arrow in illustration). If This table has a Header column, you need to select the header cells independently and again set the Cell Background to None.
    Now select Table 2 and drag it to a position partially under Table 1. When you see the blue alignment guides on both sides, or at the top and bottom, of Table 1, release the mouse button and use the arrow keys to nudge Table 2 into its final position.

  • I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

    i want to create an external video widget with iAd to use in an iBook. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.
    hope someone can help!

    May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget.  I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field,  the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
    It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you. 
    Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

  • Pop-up Menu in the Table

    I have a problem with a pop up menu in the table control. Currently, I have set my table to HOT and i have 3 columns in my table which are set to Indicator, which allows me to select/highlight the cell but yet dosen't change the content in the cell.
    But when i highlight let's say 3 cells in the same column and right click, a popup menu appears with 3 functions. Goto, Find and sort. I think this came together with the table control. I would like to disable the sort function as it rearranges the cell which are highlighted but not the rest of the cells in the next 2 columns. In my case this is not very good for me as all 3 columns are related to each other like column 1 = Name, column 2 = value, etc... Is it possible to disable to the sort function??
    Cheers

    It seems strange to me that the built-ion popup menu appears after your own menu is displayed: how are you displaying your popup menu? If you are using RunPopupMenu to handle the right-click event and display your menu it is possible that it fires the built-in menu also.
    If you don't need the built-in popup menu you do not need to remove every single item from it: you can use SetCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_TABLE, ATTR_ENABLE_POPUP_MENU, 0); instead.
    In every case, this is a control attribute: you must isse this line for every single table you want to customize: SetAttributeForCtrls ( ) from the Programmer'sToolbox is very useful in this matter.
    As already mentioned in this thread, to add items to the built-in menu you can use NewCtrlMenuItem ()

  • Regarding pop up menu on the right click of a row of a table in a frame

    hi to all,
    i am a naive in applet and swing.
    i have some proplem regarding table in a frame.
    actually i want to open a pop up menu on the right click of a row of a table in the frame.please send the code regarding this.

    Hi,
    You're probably better off directing this to the swing forum but a starter for ten is the use of the MouseListener interface and the boolean isRightMouseButton method.

  • The pop-up menu I added to a button disappears

    When I add a pop-up menu to a button symbol I've created, all
    is well until I click on "done." Then, when I click on the + sign
    for that button, it says "Add Pop-up Menu..." as if I hadn't added
    it already. When I click on "Add Pop-up Menu..." again, nothing's
    there.
    I'm using Fireworks CS4 for the Mac. I've used Fireworks MX
    on my PC for many years, and have never had this problem.
    Help!!

    I found a bizarre work around for the pop-up menus that will
    not seem to retain any changes made in the pop-up menu editor. As
    soon as you finish making the changes in the editor and hit Done,
    go to the library (either document library or common library) and
    double click on the symbol to which the pop-up menu is attached.
    Click the Edit button. Then finish the editing by hitting the left
    arrow at the top left of the workspace. Now the changes to the
    pop-up menu have been saved.
