Question about thumbnails in Finder

A nice way of assigning custom thumbnails to items in Finder is by bringing up the Get Info panel of a given item, and pasting a copied image (either from the web or an image viewer) to the thumbnail editor in the top left corner.
However, something I've noticed is Finder's inconsistency with resolution. If I'm lucky, the thumbnail will retain the resolution of the copied image, so that no matter what size I readjust the items in a Finder window, the thumbnail will stay crisp. But a lot of the time, and sometimes as soon as the image has copied, Finder seems to decrease the resolution. A way of checking is to copy the thumbnail back from the Get Info panel and paste it into an image viewer. Lo and behold, the image is lower res.
Does anyone know if there is any way to control this and maintain high res thumbnails?
Thanks very much.

Hi, what format are the Pastes o begin with?
I think Finder/OSX prefers PNGs.

Question about burning in Finder?

I use finder to burn mp3 cd's all the time...basically because its way faster and I can fit multiple amounts of mp3's on a cd-r...but my question is this...my itunes library is filed like - artist name/album/songs....then in songs each track is given a track # ie..01, 02, 03 etc...but when I drag songs from my library to a burn folder the songs won't stay in the order that i drag them when they are burned to cd...instead of the order i dragged them Finder always burns them in alphabetical order??? Is there any way to make finder burn mp3's not in alphabetical order??? Thx!!!

Charles
The finder will always burn things in alphanumeric order. It's just the nature of the beast and nothing to be done about it, I'm afraid.
Have a look at your iTunes Preferences: Advanced -> Burning
What's selected there? You can burn as an Audio CD, Mp3CD or a Data CD. An mp3 cd, for instance, will hold 650 MB of files, that's maybe 150 tracks.

I have submitted a question about thumbnails, but it is not included under my Profile, so where is it held and how can I view it ?

This is my original question.
I have disabled the New Tab thumbnails by setting auto-config to 'aboutblank' and this has ensured the New Tab page is blank.
However, FF is still dumping these thumbnails onto my PC, this despite my having set the History to 'Clear Cache' on exit from FF. I have tested New Tab without thumbnails in my last FF session, yet found the thumbnails of visited Sites were on my PC.
If 'Clear Cache' does not remove these thumbnails, what does ?

You can create new properties in about:config by right-clicking in the list and choosing New > [entry type] from the context menu.
For true/false properties, choose New > Boolean as your entry type.

Question about how javac finds referenced files.

Hi
I am just beginning to learn Java and have got some questions related to packages.
I have two classes:
MyClass.java
package pkg;
public class MyClass {
     public void prn(int x){
     System.out.println("Integer: "+x);
Test.java
import pkg.*;
public class Test{
     public static void main(String[] args){
          MyClass obj=new MyClass();
          obj.prn(2);
Directory structure
/root/ jprog/MyClass.java
/root/ jprog/Test.java
Executing the following sequence of commands gives me:
# ls
MyClass.java Test.java
# javac -d . MyClass.java
# ls
MyClass.java Test.java pkg/
# cd pkg
# ls
MyClass.class -----compiles.
# cd ..
# javac Test.java
Test.java:5: cannot access MyClass
bad class file: ./MyClass.java
file does not contain class MyClass
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
MyClass obj=new MyClass();
^
1 error
Now after reading another thread on this forum I came to know that the compiler finds the
MyClass.java in the wrong package. Using verbose option with javac shows this.
So I move it to some other directory and everything works.
# mv MyClass.java /root
# ls
Test.java pkg/
# javac Test.java
# java Test
Integer: 2
Now the question begins:
Suppose we go back to how the files were arranged before I moved the MyClass.java file and
I change the Test.java file by adding
package pkg2;
statement to it.
Now everything compiles
# ls
MyClass.java Test.java ---I have deleted pkg and .class files
# cat Test.java
package pkg2;
import pkg.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args){
MyClass obj=new MyClass();
obj.prn(2);
# cat MyClass.java
package pkg;
public class MyClass {
public void prn(int x){
System.out.println("Integer: "+x);
# javac -d . MyClass.java
# javac -d . Test.java
# ls
MyClass.java Test.java pkg/ pkg2/
# java pkg2.Test
Integer: 2
Why isn't the MyClass.java file causing any problems now?
Using the verbose option with javac shows that the compiler goes straight for the pkg/MyClass.class.
My readings of Core Java Horstmann tell me that the compiler always looks in the current directory. javac documentation also doesn't help. I know that the documentation recommends that the source file locations should match the package statements.
I'm just trying to learn how javac finds referenced files.
Any help??
Thanks a load in advance.

I know that the
documentation recommends that the source file
locations should match the package statements.This is not merely a recommendation, it is a requirement.
Both javac and java find classes by traversing the classpath. The classpath should contain directories (or jar files) that correspond to the top of a (part of the) package hierarchy.
For example, if the Java code for your class is in a file C:\src\pkg\MyClass.java, and MyClass.java declares the class to be in package pkg, the classpath should contain C:\src. Classes are then found by transforming their package declaration into a directory structure.
Please note that javac works on files, not classes. Therefore it is necessary to specify the full filenames of the files you want to compile, even if you have specified the classpath. By default, javac will put compiled class files in the same location as their sources, so the classpath for the java command should also contain C:\src.
The exception to the rule is when all classes for the program are in the default package (i.e., they do NOT contain a package statement). In that case, it is possible for javac (and I believe java as well) to find all classes in the current directory, so it will "just work".
You can specify the classpath using the -cp parameter to both javac and java.
Hope this helps.

Question about navigation in finder sidebar

Hi, I'm new to Mac, and I just bought a Macbook Pro Retina Mid-2012 15'' with Mountain Lion installed. I wonder if there is any keyboard shortcut to navigate to finder sidebar and right pane back and forth except the command-shift-G.
Thank you.

The Sidebar is not navigable by keyboard. All you can do is add an item to it by pressing command-T. A complete list of built-in keyboard shortcuts is here:

Question about searching in finder.

I updated to Lion which is much more annoying than the previous versions. When searching in finder, how do I get it to search everything inserted of just the file name. When I type something in it defaults to "Filename Contains XXXXXXX". And every time I have to change it search everything. Is there a way to make it search like it did with Snow Leopard.
Lion also has a drop down window for searches. How is this disabled?
Thank you for your help.

command-F will bring up the search window.

Question about photos in Finder and iPhoto

I just bought this macbook pro so I transferred all my photos to Finder, then I added all of them to iPhoto from the Finder. So are the photos now duplicated on my mac? (one in Finder and one in iPhoto)
Thanks

Probably.
That would happen by default - i.e. Unless you changed a setting in the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced.
Simple test: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window will open with the file selected. In the Finder's column view you can track the location of the file.

Question about Finder-Load-Beans flag

Hi all,
I've read that the Finder-Load-Beans flag could yield some valuable gains in performance
but:
1) why is it suggested to do individual gets of methods within the same Transaction
? (tx-Required).
2) this strategy is useful only for small sets of data, isn't it? I imagine I
would choose Finder-Load-Beans to false (or JDBC) for larger sets of data.
3) A last question: its default value is true or false ?
Thanks
Francesco

Because if there are different transactions where the get method is called
then the state/data of the bean would most be reloaded from the database. A
new transactions causes the ejbLoad method to be invoked in the beginning
and the ejbStore at the end. That is the usual case but there are other ways
to modify this behavior.
Thanks

Hi thorick,
I have found this in the newsgroup. It's from R.Woolen answering
a question about Finder-Load-Beans flag.
"Consider this case:
tx.begin();
Collection c = findAllEmployeesNamed("Rob");
Iterator it = c.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Employee e = (Employee) it.next(); System.out.println("Favorite color is:"+ e.getFavColor());
tx.commit();
With CMP (and finders-load-beans set to its default true value), thefindAllEmployeesNamed
finder will load all the employees with the name of rob. The getFavColormethods
do not hit the db because they are in the same tx, and the beans arealready loaded
in the cache.
It's the big CMP performance advantage."
So I wonder why this performance gain can be achieved when the iterationis inside
a transaction.
Thanks
regards
Francesco

If you know that you will be accessing the fields of all the Beans that
you get back from a
finder,
then you will realize a significant performance gain. If one selects
100s or more beans
using
a finder, but only accesses the fields for a few, then there may be some
performance cost.
It could
depend on how large some of the fields are. I'd guess that the cost
of 1 hit to the DB per
bean vs.
the cost of 1 + maybe 1 more hit to the DB per bean, would usually be
less. A performance
test using
your actual apps beans would be the only way to know for sure.
3) A last question: its default value is true or false ?The default is 'True'

Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”… If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine...

General Question about SAP Documentation. Where to find?

Hello,
I am relatively new in the SAP business and so I have some general questions about the SAP Documentation.
Often internet-links like
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/FIBP/FI-AP-AP-PT.pdf
are posted here by group members.
But where do these group members find these documents?
All I can see at help.sap.com is IDES (the model company created by SAP)and the WWW-version of the SAP-Bibliothek.
Were can I find these PDF-Files?
I would appreciate any hint and tip!
Thank you!

How do I find my earlier questions about PSE organiser?

I have asked a couple of questions about Pse13 ,one specifically deleting duplicates from organiser. If no one answers the question and I do not receive an email, what can I do but keep asking? I paid good money for this new version but there is no chat support and they just refer you to the forums. If no one answers the question then I might as well go back to Pacasa.
