Selecting multiple items by choosing first and last to include all those in between...
Hello all.
I'm familiar with how to select multiple items by using the shift key and the command key to select either individual items, or a batch of items by clicking the first to be included and the last to be included, and having all those inbetween included as well, but for some reason this is not happening when I'm trying to select files in OS Lion. Regardless if I use the shift key or the command key, only a single item is selected, and for a range of items, I must click each individually.
Is there a setting that I need to alter to select a batch? Am I missing something that they've changed from the previous OS?
Thank you for your help!
I can confirm that does still work in Lion as you describe, but at the moment, no fix to offer. I'm not aware of any setting. It just supose to work.
I did find this article which may help. But proceed at you own risk in deleting .plist files. It may do the trick, but also cause you to reset certain key functions.
A simple thing to try first is to repair permissions. .../Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Select your Volume/Repair Permissions

How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, what do I select if I mark the first and last email to delete everything in between? Thanks.
I have this same issue. I have over 100 email addresses that I need to add to a group. The issue is not making the group, it's getting the email addresses from Mail to Contacts.
Dragging the email addresses does nothing. You can copy the addresses, but there's nowhere to put them. You can make a VCF for an email address, but then you have to find all of them to add them to the group. How do you automate this?!
I'm astounded that there's so little support for such a common issue for which people have been asking for years. -
Selecting multiple items in a listbox
Is it possible to select multiple items in a listbox and insert them into an array. Currently, to get around not knowing if this is possible, I have two listboxes. One has items available and the other has items you want to use. I can either double click or press an add/remove button to move items between the two listboxes. The problem there is that when I move an item from one to the other it puts it at the end of the list. I want to keep the lists in order by channel. My items structure is as follows: "'channel number' 'Channel name'" ie "1 Date\Time"
I can sort this list but it sorts by the first character. If I have channels 1-30. It sorts to 1,11,12,13,14,...,3,30. I want 1,2,3,...,30 I would prefer to select multiple items in the listbox but if I can't, how can I do a better sort with my current method of two listboxes.
Thanks,
AJLHi together,
Since there is no multiple selection in Enumlistbox in SUD dialog, i wanted to use a table.
But i couldnt get the table to show the values from a user variable definition file (dynamic enumeration list). I fail to assign one column of the table to that user variable.
Below i attach the corresponding files:
where could be the problem?
And i was looking through DIAdem help file to look for information, how to define different types of user variables (for example vectors) but i couldnt find enough information. Do you have any document or examples where i can see the defining and usage of different type variables in different controls in SUD dialogs ?
thanks in advance
kaan

How to print header in first and last page only in SAPSCRIPT
Hi!
How to print header in first and last page only in SAPSCRIPT,
in between pages, I need to print all line items in MAIN window only .
Thanks in anticipation!
Aki.Hi All,
Thanks for your early update...but my requirement here is
I have two pages (FIRST , NEXT ) First is having Header, Main and Footer
NEXT is having Main and Footer ..I am printing PO here..let us think that my PO is having 20lines items , let us assume that it takes five pages...
Now how application is printing is ..first set of data is printing in FIRST page and remainiang data distributed to 4 pages printing in NEXT page ..but what my requirement is , I need fifth page print on FIRST page, instead of NEXT page... Ultimately I need last set of data always print in FIRST ie out of 5 pages 1st print on FIRST 2nd 3rd 4th print on NEXT and 5th print again on FIRST .
hope you this will clear you.

Is it possible to select multiple layers by selecting first and last layers?
I frequently get Illustrator files in that have individual objects such as paths on individual layers that could be grouped to make the layers more concise. I find that I have to shift click each individual layer to select it to eventually group it. At times, I have 25 or so layers that I need to select. Is there a way to select the first and last layer in the layers palette, and have Illustrator select all layers in between?
Katrina,
And I guess it's the way I work. 1) I routinely select objects by selecting them from the layers palette, and not the canvas, so that I can't accidentally move an object that is the clients artwork. I prefer to work this way, as I consider it "safer". (I lock layers I'm not using) I routinely run into artists work that for instance, converted fonts to outline, and now each compound layer that is an individual letter is an object on it's own layer. 2) I need things grouped together and titled so that if I need to come back to this file and quickly fix something on press, I can tell what layer holds what object.
3) Therefore, I frequently need to select objects in a two mile long (slight exaggeration ) list of layers/sublayers and group them, retaining them in their same layers in the event an effect has been applied at the top hiearchy of that layer.
It would be great if a key, or combination of keys, would allow me to select the top object, scroll down and select the last object, and have Illustrator select all between those two.
If you create and use selections as suggested in post #12, you do have to select individual objects when they share layers with other objects (but you can select whole layers as well) in exactly the way you are used to (1), but you only have to do it once instead of having to repeat it (3), and you have them collected with a title so you can find them again (2).
At least it is part of the way. -
How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
* one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)
*see also [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]

I can't seem to open (view) my photos. I get an error message that says "the file couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it. To view or change permission, select the item in the finder and choose File. Get info." I have never had this happen before? Thanks!
Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions.

Select first and last records in grouped results - Oracle 11g

I would like to write a query that would return the following:
Qty
Production order
First
Last
80
00000000000000001
12-JAN-14 00:02
13-JAN-14 00:09
120
00000000000000002
12-JAN-14 00:11
14-JAN-14 00:29
That is, the sum of the Qty column grouped by Production order, and the date/time of the first and last records for each Production order.
I came up with a query that yielded this result:
Qty
Production order
First
Last
80
00000000000000001
12-JAN-14 00:02
14-JAN-14 00:29
120
00000000000000002
12-JAN-14 00:02
14-JAN-14 00:29
Which means that the First and Last columns show the overall first and last date / time of the whole table. Please note that this is a dummy table. Sorry I am now allowed to write the actual query
I came up with since work policies do not allow me to share it. Also, I tried with windowing functions such as rank()and row_number() but my user does not have enough privileges to do so.
Any help or hints will be greatly appreciated.Due to the fact that Oracle does not record the rows in any particular order, it would be wrong that the "first date" would be the first row processed by the query.
Therefore you would have to supply some other column if you do not want to consider the table as ordered by date.
Also, any analytical functions will need you to supply the "order by" and if its the date, then just a simple query will do:

I have recently changed from Windows 7 desktop to a new iMac running Mavericks. I have chosen a wired keyboard as I like the usual Delete key function.
I cannot find out how to select several items which are not next to each other (e.g. words in Pages). The well known method in Windows, which is repeated in the the Apple Finder Help screen, does not work. Would be grateful for adviceHi JBowfin,
If I am understanding your question correctly, I believe that I have an article that will address this question for you:

Detect first and last spark list items
Hi,
I have a custom item renderer with a background image for each item in a list. the thing is I'm trying to have a different background for the first and last items (curved respectively) and I'm not sure how to do that.
Any help will be appreciated.If you are scrolling, will you change which ones have the different
background?
If not, look at ButtonBar. It is based on ListBase and assigns different

Query to find first and last call made by selected number for date range
Hi,
query to find first and last call made by selected number for date range
according to filter:
mobile_no : 989.....
call_date_from : 25-april-2013
call_date_to : 26-april-2013
Please helpHi,
It sounds like you want a Top-N Query , something like this:
WITH got_nums AS
SELECT table_x.* -- or list columns wanted
, ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY call_date ) AS a_num
, ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY call_date DESC) AS d_num
FROM table_x
WHERE mobile_no = 989
AND call_date >= DATE '2013-04-25'
AND call_date < DATE '2013-04-26' + 1
SELECT * -- or list all columns except a_num and d_num
FROM got_nums
WHERE 1 IN (a_num, d_num)
;This forum is devoted to the SQL*Plus and iSQL*Plus front ends. This question doesn't have anything to do with any front end, does it? In the future, you'll get better response if you post questions like this in the PL/SQL.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

I would post what I have tried so far but I have been trying many different types of queries over the last few days. In short I need the employees first and last reads for each date. They could have many entries per date or just 1. I am certain that this
is a trivial thing for a SQL expert but not trivial for me :).
Thank you in advance!Thank you!
This is almost what I need. The LocationGUID has to be included in the output. When I include it, I have to put it in the Group By clause. When I do that the reads are based on the LocationGUID (see below).
** I added a few more data entries and included the LocationGUID in the output.

Hi Everyone
Please advise: how do I select multiple items when on Safari? Ex. when I have to select multiple countries where I have worked.Hi Carolyn
I am trying to select multiple items from a list on a particular website. I tried using the 'command' button, but to no avail.
Grateful for any advice. -
Selecting multiple items quickly in icon view
The Finder's Help menu shows only one way to select multiple items that are next to each other:
Select multiple items that are next to each other
Do one of the following:
Click one item, and then press the Shift key and click other items to include them in the selection.
Click the first item, and then press the Shift key and click the last item. All items in between are included in the selection.
Click a window to make it active, and then press Command (⌘)-A. All items in the window are selected.
When you have selected multiple items and want to deselect one of them, press the Command key and click the item.
However, I often view folders in icon view and the second method above doesn't work--frustrating if you have more than a few items.
There are two ways that do:
Change the view to List and use the second method described above (Click the first item, and then press the Shift key and click the last item) or
Click outside of the first folder/icon you wish to select, then hold and drag over the row or area:
Hope this is helpful; it would be a useful addition to the Help menu!
