Set fixed window geometry in Xfce4?

Is there a way to set fixed geometry for application windows in Xfce4 (without Compiz)?
I'm thinking like in KDE where you can right-click a window's title bar and set X,Y,width,height to fixed and it will keep that permanently.
Currently I'm using devilspie, but the problem is that devilspie apparently can only apply geometry to a window once: When it is created. It won't prevent existing windows from getting resized/moved later on.

I think there are actually several not necessarily related issues here. First of all when I tested this program in LabVIEW 8.6 (not having had an older version handy at that moment) the first thing I noticed, was that the VI never got parented at all. The reason was simply the data type mismatch in the handle between what Get Window Handle returns and what Add Child uses. Once I fixed that it worked like a charm with no jumping whatsoever.
So I did a test in LabVIEW 7.1 just now and indeed it does jump there. But, I wouldn't exclude that LabVIEW 7 migh have done it correctly for the OS (W2K) that was current at that time it came out. But there are really at least two solutions: Upgrade to a newer LabVIEW version, at least 8.6 works fine (8.2.1 didn't I just checked) or don't call the VI continously but let it run as an independant "process" and pass data by other means than through the connector pane (personally I would point out that globals are a bad way for this )
And by the way, almost all Windows handles are actually pointer sized entities so if you happen to use such window managment VIs in LabVIEw 8.6 or higher it is advisable to not configure them as U32 but as pointer sized (unsigned) integer instead

Jdeveloper - setting default window geometry under x-window

Hi
When I run JDeveloper (9.0.4) it creates its main window (of some size) in the center of the screen. It's fine, but... I'd like to have JDeveloper create its main window of different default size and located at different position when I start it. So the problem is: JDeveloper's default window geometry is: NOW_WIDTHxNOW_HEIGTH+x_offset+y_offset and I want to change it to: NEW_WIDTHxNEW_HEIGHT+new_x_offset+new_y_offset. I run Linux with X-Window with AfterStep window manager (but the solution should be similar for any other window manager).
I tried to solve this problem the usual way: change DefaultGeometry in "database" file in AfterStep configuration but it didn't work out.
Any ideas? Maybe I have to change something in some (JDeveloper's) configuration file?
Thanks in advance

JDeveloper remembers it's last size/position and tries to restore itself to that. The data is buried in the xml files, though I'm not sure what format.

I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it-. All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top. How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?

Can I set folder window appearance for a DVD-ROM I'm creating?

Hi!
I'm making a DVD-ROM project that my organizaion is going to have duplicated. I'd like the main folder window to have the same appearance (always open in icon view, have a specific background image, sort-by-name, etc.). Is there a way to set this so it will be stored with the folders? Would this have something to do with the .DS_Store file?
A NOTE: This is gong to be a PC+Mac disc, so the file system won't be HFS+. It's a DVD-ROM of an audio series using a web-based interface. I am running Snow Leopard on my desktop and Lion on my laptop. Not sure if any of these details help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Firefox on Windows is now following display scaling options which may render text larger on high resolution displays.
You can adjust your screen resolution.
To modify it do the following:
* Type '''about:config''' into the Firefox address bar and tap on the Enter key.
* If the warning '''This might void your warranty''' appears, click '''I'll be careful, I promise'''.
* Search for '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''
[[Image:Fx22layout.css.devPixelsPerPx]]
* Double-click on layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to modify its value. The default is -1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to '''1.0''' to make it work like in previous Firefox versions.
If necessary, further adjust the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps. Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size. Use values greater than 1.0 to increase size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase font size to 125% to accommodate the default DPI setting in Windows 8. '''Double check the value that you enter.''' Setting a too small value will make everything disappear and a too large value will blow things up.
If web pages still need to be adjusted then you can look at the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint] extension.
To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer] extension.

Thank you.

How to set FIX based on selection made in planning form (HP 9.2)

Hello,
In order to calculate new values in my business rule I have to use CREATENONMISSINGBLK ON option. But it takes too long time to complete the calculation. So, I need to set FIXes in my business rule in order to keep database selection as small as possible.
Is there any possibility to pass page selections prom planning data form to my custom business rule?
For example form:
Columns: Period
Rows: Account
Page: Year, Entity, Version, CustomDimension
In my rule a need to set following fixes:
Account: Custom fixed List
Period: Custom fixed List
Year: Custom fixed List
Entity: Get one values selected in data form
Version: Get one values selected in data form
CustomDimension Get one values selected in data form
OR
is it possible to set default values for Run-time prompts to be equal to selected members in page dimensions?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can set up variables in your business rules so for example,
Create Variable rtVersion, set it as Type member and dimension Version and Usage-Type as "Run-Time Prompt".
Then in your business rule code you refer to the variable using [rtVersion]
Now in planning the design of the form when you choose the properites for the business rule make sure "Use Members on Data Form" is ticked, and run on save.
Now when the form is saved a pop up window will appear passes the selected version member into the run time prompt text box, this will then be passed into your business when submitted.
You can also hide prompts if you want it be sent directly into the business rule without any user intervention.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Mac set-up window appears 3 days after upgrade-everything was fine 'til now

I posted a question recently in the iMac (CRT) forum and linked to it here (regarding disappearing finder/desktop on my father-in-law's computer after an OS 10.3 upgrade via DVDs purchased from Other World Computing). I solved the problem (or so I thought) by purchasing a different set of Panther CDs (from applerescue.com) and installing them.
Unfortunately, he can't get into his old desktop and files again. But the problem is different than the one that presented itself on that previous upgrade. At least after that one, he had access to his old files, etc.
The installation (Archive and Install) was done on Thursday. Several reboots were successful that day. I left the upgrade (from 10.3) to 10.3.9 for another time. My father-in-law started up successfully that night, Friday, and Saturday (though he ran into a problem with a printer that was not recognized - easily repaired, had that been the only problem). This morning, Sunday, he started up and was unhappily presented with the OS X welcome screen. I ran over to his house this afternoon and was unable to bypass the screen by any method I knew of (as I said, his computer behaved normally prior to today --- booted right up into his account as before the upgrade for the past three days). I started to enter information into the unavoidable fields, but aborted when I realized that I might not have access to his old accounts (and files, which we had backed up, of course).
What could possibly be causing the welcome window to show up? I've only seen it in two circumstances: 1) Starting up a new computer; 2) When doing an erase and install.
While waiting to see whether anyone has a clue as to what has happened, I will connect my computer to his and see whether all his old files are intact.
In case it helps, here is the older item regarding this computer posted in the iMac G3 forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=759902&tstart=0
Thanks for your insight (as opposed to iSight).

G5 iMac (iSight) Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.5 Gb RAM

The old iMac is now working fine, so I've marked the question as answered, even though I still don't know why the problem occurred or how, exactly, it got fixed.
Here's the latest, for anyone interested in the outcome:
When we last looked in on our father-in-law's hapless computer, it was displaying the welcome screen/set-up window after the Archive and Install of 10.3 from a new set of (supposedly) universal install disks. It was behaving like a new computer that had never been used before (or like a computer whose OS was installed after a complete wiping of the disk). An examination via our own G5 iMac (with the CRT iMac in Target Disk Mode) showed that all the files and accounts were intact, yet the computer was still insisting that we set up an account so we could use it.
Concerned that we might lose (easy) access to the old main account - even though we had backed up everything, I elected to reinstall the OS hoping to avoid erasing the disk. When I had done this a few days ago (using the new disks to install 10.3 over the 10.3.9 version that was working but not showing the desktop/finder), I did an Archive and Install, since (of course) I couldn't install an earlier version on top of a later version.
This time, I had the Upgrade option available. I have no idea why, since I was installing the same version of the software as was in the machine already. (That may be normal, however. I don't know, nor does it matter particularly.) I chose that option, rather than Archive and Install hoping the iMac would rediscover its accounts.
The installation went smoothly (though it took lots longer, since I forgot to de-select all the printer drivers and other language support). However, I was presented with the welcome screen yet again. A quick check, again via the G5 with the CRT iMac in Target Disk Mode, showed that all the files and accounts were still there.
I had nothing to lose, so I set up a new account. Once I had a desktop, I went to System Preferences/Accounts, and saw that both older accounts were still there (marked as Administrator accounts as before). I changed the login preferences, selecting the old main user account for automatic login.
I restarted, and the old desktop appeared. All the files were intact and accessible, so I updated to 10.3.9 with the matching Java update.
Hopefully that's the end of it. The previous strange behavior is still a mystery, though.
As to the disks, I understand the nature of machine specific disks and the problems they can cause, even though those eMac DVDs worked fine with my old retired PowerBook. Those disks were sold as UNIVERSAL install disks (or I wouldn't have bought them) by Other World Computing - I wonder how they can make that claim. Those disks also installed 10.3.4 on the iMac (which I then updated to 10.3.9), but the Finder did not work, and I couldn't get a desktop, as I said in an earlier message. Why they worked on the PowerBook, i don't know.
This latest set of Panther disks (3 CDs) were sold by applerescue.com as universal install disks also. They are version 10.3 only (not 10.3.x) and are not marked for any particular machine. However, they are white, not black like the illustration that Don and others have linked to as being the retail version of the OS. Are they the problem? Who knows? And where did they come from if they aren't the retail version or a machine specific version?
Sooner or later, I'd like to figure all of this out, but for now we have a working computer.
(Thanks again to Don Morgan.)

I get error 0x80073cf9 now and I need help to FIX Windows Store can't update any Apps & can't install any Apps now?

Hi I hope some one can tell me step by step how to fix windows 8.1, I can't update any of my Apps and can't install any new apps now and I get error code 0x80073cf9? But my problem is different than most of the other FIXES I read about, because nothing
fixes my problem to be able to install new Apps and get app updates and stop getting that error code?
I keep getting same error code 0x80073cf9 after I try any of the FIXES I have read about and tried all the fixes on my Lenovo Z580 laptop, that came with windows 8 and updated to 8.1. And ever since I bought this laptop I could
always install and update all my apps for the last year when I had Win 8 and Win 8.1 now.   This has been going on since April and May and its driving me crazy!    And from the May updates I did get all the updates and
I also installed the KB update that said I need this KB to get all updates in the future.
But all the other people when they get this error code they could not even open and use any of their Apps already installed. And they also get the error code when they try to update or get a new apps.
But I can click on any APP installed already and use all my Apps with no problems.   I have read so many how to fix this error code but nothing works! :-(     I have tried a lot of
the fixes on Microsoft forums that says do this and the fix will get rid of the error code but I keep getting the same error code after I try that fixes.   And I have read a lot of other windows 8 an windows 8.1 web sites when
I search for how to fix this error code?   And tried all of the fixes that were different from the Microsoft forum fixes. But after I try those fixes I still can't install any apps or can't get my app updates?
Please to any person's who can help me by giving me more that 1 fix, because I have tried so many fixes, If you know more that 1 fix tell me how to do your fix step by step so I can understand what you say to do to fix my windows store?
Thanks for any and all help? And if I don't get any help in this section of the forum I will try to put this in a different area, if I don't get any help at this section of the forum I will try to ask this in another part of he forum ok?
I really need HELP with this so I can get my laptop working again to install new apps and get the updates to my apps?

Fixed the problem by going to settings/store and logging out with apple ID. Then logged back in with password and updates, apps, and iTunes store seem to work ok now.

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

Change Default Setting in PDF Set Up Window to RGB

Is it possible to change the default setting in the FrameMaker 11 PDF Set UP window to RGB. The current default setting is CMYK.
I have not been able to find a way to do this.
Thank-you for your assistance.
Brenda

Thank-you. This solved the problem.
I have another questions. I am importing xml feeds into a FM11 using an automated process. After importing, the xml feeds are translated into a formatted FM11 file. When I perform a Save As in order to save the document as Document 11.0 (.fm), I am noticing that the default choice is to save the document as XML. I need to choose Document 11.0 (.fm) before saving. I checked the FrameMaker template and its default setting Save As setting is Document 11.0 (.fm). Is there a way for me to change a setting so that the imported file has a default Save As setting of Document 11.0 (.fm)?

Novice to setting up Windows file sharing in order to connect with macbook

Hi everyone,
I have been having major trouble trying to set up my Dell laptop to set up windows file sharing with my macbook pro (just got it yesterday). I am not very technically savvy, but I did enable that my C folder be shared on the network, so when I go to network places, it shows up.
I currently have my mac and dell connected by a cat 5 cable, so they are directly connected to each other. However, I have no idea where to go from here! I have read many support sites and pages, but it doesn't make sense to me. I need a watered down version of how to make my hard drive a server.
I also enabled file sharing on my mac , which was simple, but i am confused if i even need to do that.
Thanks in advance for any help. It will be GREATLY appreciated!!

1) You aren't using a router or BaseStation in this little network?
2) If not, you will need to set IP addresses manually. Otherwise you'll have a connection, but no data flow.
3) Your shared drive on the Dell will show up in Neighborhood on the Dell. that's normal.
BD- Have you seen a good tutorial for this?
PS, Amanda - sharing out your entire "C" drive is not a good idea. Once we get you networked...it will be possible for the mac to delete a folder that's inside the Dell's "C" drive. Could be a system folder that you blast...there is no RecycleBin when you delete files across a network.
Don't mean to scare ya, just showing you the possibilities.

How do I set RH7 windows to resize according to topics?

This seems like an obvious one, but maybe most of my questions do. Is there a way to set the windows in RH7 to resize automatically depending on the topics? I have looked at all the settings in the Window Properties and Advanced Properties and cannot figure it out. Thanks in advance for your help, you great RH geniuses.
Cheers,
Lacona

Hi there
For what it's worth, I agree with Colum in that it wouldn't be a good practice from the end user standpoint.
However, if you are producing WebHelp, you could accomplish some of it using JavaScript. It would be a bit tortuous and probably require tweaking the script for each topic to achieve the sizing you want. I like JavaScript to a point, but unless I *REALLY* wanted to accomplish it, I wouldn't go there.

Character set on windows

Hello All,
Please i need help on how to confirm the character set on windows. i have tried going through registry >HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NLS\CodePage\ ( nothing like ACP here)
Under code page i have the following:
EUDCCodeRange
Language
Language Groups
from command prompt if i run:
H:\>chcp
Active code page: 437
Please what character set is ACP 437 equivalent to?
Response required urgently#
Thanks

We have noticed that the application is not interpreting the request strings in the correct character encoding. Can you be a bit more specific? What problem, exactly, are you having?
So please how do i confirm if i am on WE8ISO8859P1 or WE8MSWIN1252' on the client side(windows)Are you asking what the NLS_LANG should be for Windows? Or for command-line DOS? Or something else?
In the same NLS_LANG FAQ I linked to earlier, there is a section on [configuring NLS_LANG for Windows and DOS|http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm#_Toc110410552]. I don't believe that it is possible for a Windows GUI to be using the ISO 8859-1 character set.
Browse the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NLS\CodePage\
There you have (all the way down) an entry with as name ACP. The value of ACP is your current GUI Codepage, for the mapping to the Oracle name. Since there are many registry entries with very similar names, please make sure that you are looking at the right place in the registry.Justin

How to set my windows to open at their default size every time.

Ok, when I connect to my computer with splash top from my ipad my windows resize. Is there a way to set my windows to just open at default size no matter what. So every time I open a program the window is at default factory settings size.

Windows 7 slow to boot after setting up windows backup to additional drive.

I have an issue with windows taking forever to boot after setting up Windows backup.
PC Setup:
2 Samsung SSD Mirrored for Hardware raid on (MOBO OS/Programs)
2 Seagate 4TB Mirrored for Hardware raid (Data storage)
1 Seagate 4tb HD used solely for Windows backup. (Have also tried with multiple other drives with same outcome.)
If I have all drives connected without setting up the Windows Backup, system will boot up in 37 seconds. As soon as I enable the backup to the additional drive, it kills the boot time. Brings boot time to over 2.5 mins. Brand new PC, clean
installation, no antivirus or any other software that could be slowing it down. If drive is just in PC as an extra drive there seems to be no issue, just as soon as I enable the Windows Backup to additional drive. Never noticed this issue on any other
PC

Log booting process (set it in F8 menu).
