Return to initial format when press BackSpace

Hi,
I noticed that TLF behavior is not very convinient for MS Word and other text processor users. The problem is following.
When TextFlow is empty and I change any format parameter (let's say change fontSize to 48) and then type some text - everything is OK. Text size is indeed 48. Then I press BackSpace button until I reach the position (0,0). If I try to type any text again then it's size is default - 12. I guess it should be 48...
Is this a bug or a feature?... Maybe I have to set any specific option to EditManager to make it MSWord-like?
Thanks,
Alexander

Thank you Richard!
I didn't know about that.
I haven't switched to build 535 yet... Do you know if this problem also fixed for user styles there?

Ask to shut down when pressing backspace or eject button

I recently changed my topcase (macbook late 2007) through an official repair service and after some days I noticed that when i press the button "backspace" or "disk eject" the computer asks me "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now? (Restart) (Sleep) (Cancel) (Shut Down)". It doesn't happen always.
Since the shut down button is nearby the other two buttons, I believe there is some kind of contact on the keyboard. Is that possible? do i need to bring back to the repair service?
thanks and good apple all!!!

I think you're right, and you need to bring the machine back and ask the folks at the repair center to double check their work.
Good luck!

Crash when pressing Backspace

Everytime I press the backspace key firefox just crashes, it doesn't seem to matter if I'm typing in the adress bar or on a webpage. It happens since a couple of days, I haven't installed any firefox or windows 8 (no 8.1) updates, at least not to my knowledge.

How does it crash? Does Firefox lock up? Does FF quit? Are there any
error messages? Try this, start Firefox in safe mode and then go to
a SAFE web page. See if you still have problems, and report back the
results.

Return to initial position when dragging scroll bar

There is a function in Windows that when using mouse cursor to drag the scroll bar, moving the cursor away from the scroll bar makes the bar go back to its initial position. Does OS X have a similar function? It is useful when looking figures during reading a large document.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Whenever i press backspace, the same thing that happens when i press 'ctrl + shift + I' happens

Whenever i press backspace, it does the same the same thing as if i press 'ctrl + shift + i', and again the same thing as if i press 'toggle tools' from the web developer option under tools from the menu at the top of firefox. I'm not a developer, i don't need this console thingy, and wouldn't mind getting rid of it. I didn't install it on purpose, and i have no idea what made this start happening recently. It's getting INCREDIBLY annoying.

The backspace key shouldn't be opening the Console.

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

OneNote 2013: Font changes when pressing Enter / Return key

I have the same problem as this guy (who didn't get a relevant answer): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/233833f7-dde8-414d-bdca-604ed8d57667/onenote-2013-font-changes-when-pressing-enter-return-key?forum=officeitpro
I set my default to Calibri 14, but every time I press enter (I make a lot of bullet lists) the font changes to Calibri 11.

Hi,
Did you change the default font after you typed a few words in a note container?
Setting the default font in Microsoft Office OneNote affects text that you type in new note containers only. It does not affect existing text or text that you add to existing note containers.
If you want to change the font in an existing note container, you need to change it manually under
Home tab > Basic Text.
Thanks,

Returning to Source menu when MENU is pressed

I have found close answers to this, but not spot on....
(1) MAIN menu button "PLAY ALL" plays track. If MENU is pressed in the middle of play, it returns to MAIN menu. Good.
(2) From the CHAPTERS menu, if I press a selection, it goes to that chapter & plays. Good also. If I hit MENU while playing that chapter, however, it goes back to MAIN menu. Not good. I want it to go back to the CHAPTERS menu & to the button that I first pressed. But, I want to keep the (1) menu connection, also.
I'm fine with my end jumps on the PLAY ALL track. It plays through to the end of all chapters. And the chapter tracks continue to the end, too. Separate stories would isolate all the tracks.
I just want the MENU button to return the viewer to their starting menus when pressed mid-play.
Any and all guidance is appreciated.

No worries.
The theory is that each time you access a new menu you change a value in a memory slot (a GPRM). Move from menu to menu by going via a small script each time, and then you can rely on that value when using the menu button on the remote.
So, let's assume you have two menus - the main menu and a scene selection menu. Create two scripts and in the first one set it to read:
mov GPRM0, 1
Jump menu1
on that menu you will have a button that goes to your second (scene selection) menu... point it to the second script instead of the menu, and make the second script read:
mov GPRM0, 2
Jump menu2
On the second menu you'll have a button to return you to the main menu... set that button to go to script 1. In fact, any time there is a possible choice of menus in your project, set the button to go to the appropriate script.
Now, set script 1 to be the start up item for your disc. This will ensure that there is a value right from the beginning of playback.
Finally, when you press the menu button you need to go to the correct menu. A third script needs to be created which reads:
Jump menu1 If (GPRM0 = 1)
Jump menu2 If (GPRM0 = 2)
If you are concerned that there might be a time when GPRM0 doesn't have a 1 or a 2 in it (can't think why, but things might go wrong), then add a third line:
Jump menu1
This ensures that you will end up somewhere at least... although I don't think this will ever be needed... it's a safety net.
So - a little more long winded than Dave N's ones, but guaranteed to work regardless! It get's a bit tiresome with lots of menus, but there are other ways around it then. For a small-ish number, use these 'freestanding' scripts and keep away from pre-scripts if you are using GPRM based button jumps.
For example, let's say your menus have 30 buttons on them each (wow... too many!). When you are on button 24 and you play, then go back to the menu you really want to be back on button 24, right?
In this case you'll need to set up some more scripting to accommodate that. Have a look at http://www.dvdstudiopro.co.uk/gprm-based-button-jumps/ for some ideas on this one (it uses GPRM0 so you'll at least need to change that to a different GPRM) - the two systems can be combined with a little thinking.
I'll write a tutorial about it and post it at http://www.dvdstudiopro.co.uk as soon as I get a chance.

When pressing Enter/Return to commit a marquee selection the Feather box turns white for input!?

When pressing Enter/Return to commit a marquee selection the Feather box turns white for input (and I'm not trying to chage the feather values)!?
Pressing Enter/Return should commit the selection but it doesn't why? I have not changed any short-cut preferences in PS CS6.
When I use the Marquee or Lasso tool and make a selection and I'm happy with the selection, I press the Enter (PC)/Return(Mac) and the the "marching ants" should disappear...
this has always worked until today!?
Now, when I press the Enter key, the Feather box (next to the Anti-alias) on the upper left corner goes from grey to white and wants me to change the value?

I was not able to reproduce the behavior you mentioned, though I don't normally make a practice of using the Enter key for that function (I tend to double-click to close the selection).
Nor could I reproduce the behavior by holding down a modifier key.

Loss of formatting when emailing a AW6 ASCIII Text document

Background: I have taken an .xls email file from a PC user which I was able to open with icExcel. The .xls file was set up wrong---only two columns, surname in one and all other data (street address, city, state, zip, tel., email address) in another column. I created a spreadsheet file in icExcel AWorks6 and did a lot of cutting and pasting from the original file to create a true 7 column spreadsheet. I saved it as an ASCII Text document because my intent is to email it back to the PC user.
Now the dilemma---I can take that ASCII Text document and reopen it in an AW6 spreadsheet or into a database on my computer, no problems. Everything is formatted correctly. When I email the .txt document as an attachment to myself (experimenting first before emailing it to the PC user) it opens up automatically as a word processing document with all the formatting gone. I sent it to another of my email addresses, it did not open up automatically but the attachment came across as an HTTP text unix document file. What is happening to the structure and column formatting when I email the .txt document. What am I doing wrong following putting it into ASCII Text? Help please!! CAB

When you save an AppleWorks spreadsheet as text, you get a tab delimited file.
Data in each cell is followed by a tab character, and a return character separates the rows of data.
Your text file, opened into an AppleWorks WP document, should retain the tab characters, but will not display properly unless you have set tab stops in the ruler. AppleWorks defaults to a tab stop every half inch, and a tab character will push text to the next available stop. Variable length of data will cause data that should line up in the same column to be offset.
You can check for the presence of tabs (and other invisible characters) by pressing command-; (semi colon). Pressing the same keys again toggles the display off.
Try launching AppleWorks then specifying Spreadsheet as the document type when you open it using AW's Open dialogue (File > Open).
If you are successful, then the file should be openable by the PC user, using Excel. Three other notes: Be sure you check the Send Windows friendly attachments box in Mail when attaching the file. Be sure you add the .txt extension to the file name AppleWorks does not automatically add it). Tell the Windows user that the file is a tab delimited text file.

Barry

TS1424 The apps "I play 3D Bowling" can not plat after installing whick only make a blank screen and then return to initial position.

I have bought a game apps "I Play 3D Bowling" that I can't play the game when I press the icon which will return to initial position . I try many times to delete & install again & again but unsucessful.

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

Can you control format when setting variable from dashboard prompt?

I'm setting a session variable from a calendar date prompt in a dashboard prompt, and the variable is referenced in a calculation in the business model. I'm initializing the date prompt from another variable which returns format TIMESTAMP 'YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00', and the initial load of the dashboard is successful. After changing the value of the date prompt, the query fails because the prompt sets the variable to 'mm/dd/yyyy'.
My question is: Is there any way to control the formatting when setting a variable from a dashboard prompt? I would like to get the timestamp format.
Thanks,
Greg

If You wants time than in dashboard prompt's coloumn formula use cast function as "cast(date as time)" if date than "cast(date_col_name as date)". But I also have that one problem.Firstly tell me, Is it possible that using two dates in using betwwen operator in dashboard. We access server variable. If not working one thing more that u should have filter on date coloumn in report layout.And in action coloumn u select prompted. Than It will must work.
Thanks

Strange pops when pressing play and stop. Logic 9.1.3, Mac internal Sound

Hi,
So I opened Logic for the first time in a while.
Logic Pro Version 9.1.3 (1697.87) 32bit.
Mac 2 x 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Mac OS 10.6.5
6GB RAM
I am using the internal Mac sound card, set up as follows :
Core Audio
Built In Line Output
IO Buffer Size 512
I am running ONE Mono audio track, with one Space Designer plug-In (mono>Stereo) inserted on the first insert slot.
There is nothing else playing back on this particular logic song.
Every time I press the spacebar for play or stop, I get a tiny delay, a pop, and then is starts, or it stops playing.
This is using the Macs' own internal sound card. With Logic's own Space Deigner, on ONE mono audio track.
SO, any ideas as to why this happens?
The only reason I opened Logic, was because I wanted to show a producer friend of mine some personal Space Designer presets I had made a couple of years ago, in case that was the type of ambience he is interested in using for a mix.
My plan was to use Logic as an effects suite, using a Motu 828mk3 conected via ADAT Lightpipe to my Pro Tools HD converter, to send and recieve 4 stereo sends and returns with 4 instances of Space Designer.
But, if Logic hiccups with the internal sound card... what will happen when I use the Motu? I dread to think about it, but will test it tomorrow.
At least I have two weeks to get this working or re-do my convolution reverbs in another plug-in (Waves IR1) that I can use in Pro Tools, in case Logic just does not work out.

The multi-purpose internal audio chips used in Mac's & PC's has some built in latency and seemes to default to a basic 16-bit 48kHz format. Any change from this and the chip has to change on the fly, I knew sample rate did this, makes sense bit depth might as well.
Some internal chips have a built in noise gate which can also cause a "thump". (rare)
Cheap or out-of-spec audio chips with a high DC offset will cause a pop when pressing "Play" and "Stop", as will an audio file that has a high DC offset.

Boolean button changes color briefly when pressed

Hi, I am using Boolean button as a toggle, so I only want text changes when it is pressed with no changes to button appearance.
I am able to change the color for On in properties to match the Off color (I am using the Silver palette so normally On is yellow), however when the boolean button is changes to On, there's a brief changes of color still. Is there any way I can get rid of it?
In fact some of my buttons blink black while others blink yellow. I have no idea where that is set.
Thak you very much.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are 4 colors for booleans ON and OFF plus going from ON to OFF and going from OFF to ON
You only see the transition color when you have the Mech latching set to "latch when released"
Set it to "Latch when pressed" and you will not see the transition colors
You can set all 4 colors by using the Colors [4] Property
Colors [4] Property
Short Name: Colors[4]
Requires: Base Development System
Class: Boolean Properties
To Use: Create a property.
Array of up to 4 (Foreground Color, Background Color) pairs, where Foreground Color is the foreground color of the Boolean control and Background Color is the background color of the Boolean control. Color pairs include False, True, True to False, and False to True.
You can set the color of the front panel object by wiring a hexadecimal number with the form RRGGBB or by wiring the color box constant to the property.
This property is similar to the Colors option on the Appearance page of the Boolean Properties dialog box.
If the Boolean control has four (Foreground Color, Background Color) pairs for the four states, this property always returns an array of four (Foreground Color, Background Color) pairs when reading. When writing, you can pass in an array of length 1, 2 or 4. If you pass in only one element, this property uses that element value for all four states. If you pass in two elements, this property uses the first element value for the False and True to False states. Similarly, this property uses the second element for the True and False to True states.
If the Boolean control has only one (Foreground Color, Background Color) pair for all four states, this property returns an array of one (Foreground Color, Background Color) pair when reading, and uses the first array element when writing. You cannot change a Boolean control with one (Foreground Color, Background Color) pair to a Boolean control with multiple (Foreground Color, Background Color) pairs.
This property only uses the True to False and False to True states when you set the Boolean control to latch or switch when released. You can get and set these (Foreground Color, Background Color) pairs even if you do not have the control set to latch or switch when released; they just are not used.
Because this property does not change the data of the Boolean control, you can set it at any time.
You can use the this property for Boolean controls on the Classic, Express, Modern, and Silver palettes. You cannot use this property for Boolean controls on the System palette.
