Question about support of multiple languages by installer (after modification)

We are currently developing the plug-in of Adobe Illustrator CS5.
I have a question on how to support multiple languages by that plug-in.
I want to specify a path according to a language of Ai and then install the swatch file when installing the plug-in(Extension) by Extension Manager.
However, the swatch file cannot be placed in a desired path.
The folder of swatch libraries to which Ai refers difffers from language to language, so I want to place the swatch file only in an appropriate path according to a language of Ai...
    Japanese version of Ai    : [Ai installation path]/Presets/ja_JP/スウォッチ
    English version of Ai    : [Ai installation path]/Presets/en_US/swatches
*In the case that the plug-in is installed into Japanese version of Ai, the expected result is that the swatch file is placed only in "[Ai installation path]/Presets/ja_JP/スウォッチ.
As a way to place the swatch file according to a language of Ai, I described the following contents in MXI file(project.mxi) and then installed the plug-in.
    URL that I referenced : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/packaging_extens ion.pdf
--The contents of MXI file--
<macromedia-extension name="Extension Name"
name_resid="name_ID" version="1.0.0" ismultilingual="true" >
          -<omitted>-
<files xml:lang="en_US">
<file source="en_US/test.ai" destination="$presets/en_US/swatches"/>
</files>
<files xml:lang="ja_JP">
<file source="ja_JP/test.ai" destination="$presets/ja_JP/スウォッチ"/>
</files>
<files xml:lang="it_IT">
<file source="it_IT/test.ai" destination="$presets/it_IT/swatches"/>
</files>
When I installed the plug-in by the installer created by using the MXI file above, the swatch file(test.ai) was placed not in "$presets/ja_JP/スウォッチ" but in "$presets/en_US/swatches".
Is there anything wrong with the MXI file above?
Also, is there any way to place the swatch file in a desired path according to a language of Ai other than this way.
If someone knows it, please let me know.

Questions about supporting TLF with Halo components in Flex 4.1

We recently decided to upgrade to the Flex 4.1 SDK after a year or so at 3.2. We have been asked to not use the new SPARK components yet because our products would then have a mistmatch of Halo and Spark components in the UI. We have built support for our Halo components to display html through the ".htmlText" property for the Text components. For example, we can display strings such as "<p>Choose <b>one</b> option:</p>". With the upgrade to Flex 4.1 a couple of questions about supporting bi-directional text have come up. My understanding is that in order to support bi-directional text we need to use the Text Layout Framework. Does anyone have a suggestion on how we can utilize the TLF with the Halo components in Flex 4.1? Can we still use the ".htmlText" property somehow or is there a new property that understands the TextFormat markup? We would love to still be able to use the limited html tags that are supported for the "htmlText" property. Is there an option where that syntax is still understood?
Thanks in advance!
David

The halo components use TextField, and the spark components use TLF. Both sets have support for some html markup to import and export text. To use bidi text, you have to use TLF; TextField won't work properly.
It is possible to use TLF to build your own components, and this can work well particularly for applications with specialized needs. But if you need bidi support for advanced components like DataGrid and List, then you should use the spark components.
Thanks!

Question about the custom panel language

I have a question about the custom panel language...
The document you provide seems to lack details on some features. Namely the icon and picture widgets. I see from looking at the examples and other vendor's web pages that these features exist, but I don't find any detailed descriptions of them in the documentation. Is there a more complete document describing these and other features...
http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/custompanel.html
Alternatively, can someone fill me in on the syntax and options for at least the icon and picture widget. For instance, how do you load external icons or pictures...
Tom

Gunar,
It could be interesting to have something like
icon(url: 'http://www.adobe.com/Images/logo.gif', width: 20, height: 20);
or better
picture(url: 'http://www.adobe.com/Images/logo.gif', width: 20, height: 20);
for the pictures and
include(url: 'http://www.adobe.com/xml/custompanel/camera1.txt');
for include the cusmtom panel's dynamic portions

Question about distinct_values for multiple fields

Hi,
With the distinct_values() function we can get the distinct value for a specified field, and is there any way to get the distinct value for multiple fields?
Thanks!

Hi simpson213,
According to your description, you have some questions about your report design.
1. How to have non-duplicating child info?
In this scenario, since you don't want to hide the duplicate data, we suggest you filter the duplicated records on query level by using Distinct statement. If you want to do it on report level, you can group
records on chid id and use First() function on other fields.
Reference: First Function (Report Builder and SSRS)
2. How to have various sections that contain fields with numerous values?
We can also add these fileds into the child group of child and have them toggled by child id.
Reference: Add an Expand/Collapse Action to an Item (Report Builder and SSRS)
3. How to add a page break between each child?
Right click on the Row Group(child id)->Page Break->Select between each group instance.
Reference: Add a Page Break (Report Builder and SSRS)
4. How to select multiple child id when rendering report?
When creating parameter, select Allow multiple values in General.
Reference: Add, Change, or Delete a Report Parameter (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Question about upgrading iTunes multiple computers with shared library

Greetings,
I have a question about upgrading to the current version of iTunes.
Currently, my household uses 3 Mac computers (2 Powerbook 17in laptops and a Mack Mini). We are all (currently) on system 10.4.11 (with iTunes 9.2.1). Between the 3 computers we have a shared iTunes music and video library on a networked high capacity hard drive.
We recently purchased an iPad. In order to make it easy for updates and to use media from our iTunes shared library I decided that we should upgrade the systems on our home computers to Snow Leopard. I have ensured that all the computers have at lease 2 Gb of RAM and adequate hard drive space.
The only possible problem I see is that one of the Powerbook laptops uses the old Motorola processor. (This is one of the last Powerbooks to use that processor.) I don’t think this computer can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
My question is, if I upgrade 2 of the computers (and iTunes in the process), will I still be able to access the shared iTunes library using the older computer with the older system and iTunes? Will the upgrade process change the iTunes library in such a way that the one older computer will no longer be able to properly access that library?
Are there any other problems I might encounter having a mixed system/iTunes environment?
Thank you,
Tim

Just a thought. Should I somehow open iTunes on MBP2 using MBP1's Library file??
both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
no need.

Question about Local Variables (Multiple answers welcomed!)

A couple of questions about Local Variables
1. Programmers always say: “Do not abuse of Local Variables”. I’d like to know, when and where Local variable are most efficiently used?
2. If I have to create a couple of local variables, is there anyway to “clone” them without going through the repetitive “create/local variables” mouse click each time? (When I try to copy and paste, it creates a new variables instead of the one that I am trying to reproduce)
3. Which is faster in execution: Updating a variable through a) writing to property node/value or b) through local variable
Everyone’s input is welcomed, so if this question is already answered, please
feel free to add additional comments/answers!

1. Use Local Variables in user interface code and no where else. The only exception is using a local variable of a cluster output to define the datatype for a bundle by name node.
2. You can drag copy them then right click to get to a menu of all the currently defined controls and indicators on the VI.
3. B. The problem with A is that it forces a thread switch to the user interface thread--which can take time if you aren't already in it, and it's a very convoluted process under the hood. NI's advice never update indicator values through a property node unless you absolutely, positively can't figure out some other way of doing it.

Oracle support for multiple languages

I have a VB and oracle application. There is a requirement for having spanish language support.
The current character set is US7ASCII and National Character set is AL16UTF16.
After some analysis i thought changing these character sets to UTF8 will be a solution for saving spanish characters.
Can any please help me whether this is correct?
Thanks in advance

That's true.
However since you are moving from single-byte character set to multi-bytes, you should be aware of the data truncation problem. that's the dangerous I was talking about.
Data Truncation
When the database is created using byte semantics, the sizes of the CHAR and VARCHAR2 datatypes are specified in bytes, not characters. For example, the specification CHAR(20) in a table definition allows 20 bytes for storing character data. This is acceptable when the database character set uses a single-byte character encoding scheme because the number of characters is equivalent to the number of bytes. If the database character set uses a multibyte character encoding scheme, then the number of bytes no longer equals the number of characters because a character can consist of one or more bytes.
During migration to a new character set, it is important to verify the column widths of existing CHAR and VARCHAR2 columns because they might need to be extended to support an encoding that requires multibyte storage. Truncation of data can occur if conversion causes expansion of data.

VERY Basic Questions about Oracle eBusiness - what "languages" are used?

Please forgive the very basic nature of this post- (I have been in systems (IT) for over 20 years, so I do have lots of systems experience, but no exposure to this particular software.)
So here are the basic questions - I assume that much of the data base logic is written in PL/SQL, but what other tools / languages are the applications written in?
(Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, Java, C, something else?)
With over 20 years and experience with a number of other packages, I can learn a great deal about an application by 1. Looking at the DB structures (charts), 2. looking into DB code (Packages, triggers, procedure, functions) and 3. Seeing the screen shots.
None of my customers have had Oracle eBusiness - that have had home grown applications or other COTS/packages.
can anyone suggest a place where an independent person can inexpensively get some exposure?
My sincere thanks for any answers/suggestions.

Questions about Tuxedo patches and errors during installation

Hi,
Please help me. I'm doing my school project that requires me to install PeopleSoft Human Capital Management. I do not have customer identifier. Therefore, I could not sign in to Oracle Support. Really appreciate your help!!! Thank you in advance!

you said3. I run the SQR by pressing the PS_HOME\bin\sqr\MSS\binw\sqrw.exe and I type in my report name, datasource, username and password then click ok then the command came out.
>
What you didn't do was set the SQR arguments in the Report Arguments section. You need to supply the arguments as follow:
-ZIF%PS_HOME%\sqr\pssqr.ini -i%PS_HOME%\sqr -fc:\temp\youroutput.htm -printer:ht -keep
You have to do this for each SQR you want to start.
To avoid typing these arguments every time, create a shortcut of sqrw.exe, on your desktop, or where ever your like and open the properties of the shortcut and change to command line to
%PS_HOME%\bin\sqr\ORA\binw\sqrw.exe -ZIF%PS_HOME%\sqr\pssqr.ini -i%PS_HOME%\sqr -fc:\temp\youroutput.htm -printer:ht -keep
Now when you dubble click on the shortcut the arguments will be filled in automatically.
Change %PS_HOME% in above statements to your PS_HOME.
You can also read this in the installation manual in chapter Task 7A-21-1: Running SQRs on the Client Workstation

Adding support for multiple languages

Hi all,
I've a desktop application with multiple components in it containing .rc files.Now, I'd want to replicate these .rc files in such a way that I should be able to build and generate a localized build from my source.
To explain more, as of now my release configuration would generate an English language build. Now, I'd want to do the same for all languages. Is there any tutorial on how to achieve this?
For now, I'm thinking to add multiple build configurations and let different components point to specific resource directories.
Lets say I have a folder res_english -> this will contain all english resources, res_japanese would contain all japan resources, like this I should have multiple folder each containing specific resources. CAn someone guide how to do this?
Thanks!

Question about env. var. LANGUAGE

Hi,
I noticed that when I do:
echo $LANGUAGE
I get:
&LANG
This seems to mess up libtool when building Subversion 1.5.2, so I'm just wondering what &LANG means. When I manually assign en_US to LANGUAGE, libtool is happy. How can I make the LANGUAGE variable assigned to the actual value of LANG on boot up? It seems that setting the locale in rc.conf actually causes the LANG variable to change, so I'm just wondering what LANGUAGE's purpose is and why it has such a funny value.
Thanks.

Big Q: "Why the compiler didnt complain about it?"
it should be "duplicate var declaration" sort of
thing......Bcos one is a local variable and the other is an instance variable. They arent duplicates.
> private String s; // class var declaration, var name is "s"
>
private void f1(){
// another var declaration name "s", why the compiler dont complain about >this!?!
String s=new String("Hello World!"); As i said b4, this is a local variable. Within the scope of this method, this variable hides the instance var, 's' , to access which, u will have to use this.s
>
private void f2(){
// does this var "s" refers to the class var?Yes.
System.out.println ("s: "+s); // the output is null//that's bcos u havent initialized it anywhere. Local variable have to be compulsorily initialized. Instance variables are initialized to null (if they are Object references)

Question about photostream on multiple devices

I have an iPhone and my son has an iPad. I use icloud to photostream to my PC. I would like him to be able to do that too, but I don't want our pictures all mixed up in the same folder on my PC which is what happened when I set his iPad up to photostream. So I went back in icloud and created another folder location for his pictures, but now his photos won't stream to the PC at all.
Also, the iPad streaming only worked when I logged into icloud using his account. So I assume that means that when I take pictures on my phone, they won't stream because he is logged on. So I logged out and logged back in under my username, but now my photos won't stream. And if I can get the streaming to work again, does this mean I will have to log in and out of icloud all the time if I want to back up both of our pictures to the PC?
Wasn't sure if this should be posted as two separate questions, but any help would be appreciated.

I don't think you can do what you are attempting to do. Your computer can only sync with a single primary iCloud account. (I haven't tested this, but I believe this is true even if you created a separate user account for each of you on the shared computer, although you could test this yourself if you want to see if separate user accounts would work.)
Also, photo stream shouldn't be used to back up photos. You can use photo stream to stream you photos to your computer, but be sure to copy them to another folder for permanent storage. Otherwise, if you delete a photo from your photo stream, it will also be deleted from the photo stream folder on your computer and you will lose it. The best way to ensure your photos are backed up is to import them to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
To get photo stream working again, you may need to save all the photos in your photo stream download folder to another location, then turn photo stream off on your computer and your devices, then set it up again.

Questions about going to multiple iCloud IDs for Family

My wife and I have an iPhone and we also have an iPad that stays at the house everyone uses including our kids. I've always had my Apple ID logged in to the store part so we can share all paid apps and music. The iPad also has my id logged in under iCloud so it's using the iCloud ID that is associated with my store ID, which is the same as my gmail account. If I want to change that one to the family one like the guide on iMore talks about, would I do the following steps or am I missing something? Say for this my gmail is [email protected] and it also gave me [email protected] [email protected]
Existing iCloud/iTunes account:
Login to manage my apple ID and change the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address" from [email protected] to the alternate of [email protected]? Do I have to use [email protected] or can I create a new icloud email called [email protected] and set that as my "Apple ID and Primary Email Address"?
Create New iCloud IDs:
I created a new iCloud Email address/account for me and my wife. We would each sign in to our own under iCloud to have seperate storage and to have find my friends work.
We would each continue to setup our gmail accounts as exchange.
By doing this, and going on the phone and changing the store login to [email protected] or [email protected], would that still have all my purchases moved from the [email protected] to the [email protected]?

It's not necessary to merge the iCloud and iTunes Store accounts. The Family Organizer should use their own iCloud account when setting up Family Sharing. You'll also be asked to supply the iTunes Store account you want to use to share music, movies, apps, etc., with your family during the setup process. It appears Apple has already addressed this common problem.
