Setting a Default Session

It appears that while you can create a customized work space in Audition CS5.5 you can no longer set a default session. In 3.0 I was able to create a session with a custom number of tracks, set effects on tracks and save that as a default session so that I would not have to set my session up the same way every time (which is helpful to me be in a voice track only environment). Am I missing something, or is this no longer a feature? It also appear that you can no longer set the default view of the workspace as it related to minutes (it shows 30 seconds by default). Attempting to set the View/End setting to, say, 1 minute is not possible.

Hello,
I'm confused by this as well. Really no way to save a template /default session? Why would Adobe remove such a vital feature?

[SOLVED] slim does not set a default session

Hi everybody
I think slim does not set the default session (first entry in sessions in /etc/slim.conf):
My /etc/slim.conf:
login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
sessions openbox
So the default session (and %session) should be openbox.
My ~/.xinitrc:
DEFAULT_SESSION=openbox
# urxvt -e screen &
(sleep 1;
eval `cat ~/.fehbg`;
conky &
xbindkeys &
volwheel &
pidgin &
case $1 in
awesome|fluxbox|icewm|i3|dwm|wmii|fvwm|twm|wmfs)
exec ck-launch-session $1
openbox)
/usr/bin/tint2 &
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
exec ck-launch-session $DEFAULT_SESSION
esac
So. When my sessions option is only "openbox" and .xinitrc is started with $1 = "openbox", it should execute tint2. But it doesn't.
Workaround 1:
When I set openbox directly in login_cmd, it works and tint2 is executed.
login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc openbox
Workaround 2:
In slim, when I hit F1 to change the session and the words "openbox" appears at the screen, it does also work fine.
That means, that slim does not set the default session correctly. Or am I wrong?
I think this is since the last update.
Thanks for your feedback.

Slim never set the default session, but there always was a comment in the default config suggesting that it would. This was well known and everybody simply set their own default (I'll get back to this in a second). Instead of simply modifying this comment, Arch included a patch to change Slim's behavior, but this led to new unexpected behavior so it was removed (recently).
You could also have found this in the wiki, which also provides a solution. Another way to fix your .xinitrc is to replace $1 in the case statement by ${1:-openbox}.
Edit: I just noticed you actually had the DEFAULT_SESSION as used in the wiki example. I think the solution in the wiki is a bit strange, and your .xinitrc (where tint2 should only be started for openbox) is an example where the alternative I suggested is simpler. Yet another way is to use the *) case for the default session (so you would not include openbox as a separate case and just start tint2 and openbox unless the $1 is set to awesome).

Slim's default session

hi to everybody,
how can I set a default session in SLiM ???
currently I have installed openbox which provides two session files under /usr/share/xsessions/ :
openbox.desktop
openbox-kde.desktop
how can I teach SLiM to use openbox as default session and not the openbox/kde one ???
....currently for select openbox from openbox/kde I press F1.....it's boring at every boot do it.....

I've read carefully the wiki and what clfarron4 it's not what I want, shortly
on the way, I have commented the bug on berliOS (http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func= … up_id=2663)
PS: latest theme available for SLiM it's a my work (http://slim.berlios.de/themes01.php)! unfortunately the link it's broken, but I've mirrored with dropbox (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=170817)

Set a default GDM session (not the last used)

Hi,
I'm using autologin with GDM and I want it to always open a specific session. Basically, my install is an arcade cabinet and I want it to open my Mame front-end. Once in a while I will log out to login in a regular XFCE session to perform some tasks. It appears that GDM always considers the last session as the "preferred" session, so when I do that, it will open XFCE rather than my Mame session.
Is there a way to tell to GDM to just stick with a default session, ignoring what session was used last?
Alternatively, is there another DM that would let me have this behavior?

Not sure how accurate this is, but have you looked into your gdm.conf file?
There is an option
GnomeDefaultSession
GnomeDefaultSession=share/gnome/default.session
The filename which GDM should read if there is no per user GNOME session file, and the user has requested the Gnome Chooser session.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I hope it helps.

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.

Adobe Reader will not set as default application for .pdf in windows 8.1 pro x64

When I install adobe reader the icon/app changes from windows reader to Pick an app, I choose change and select adobe reader, the icons on my desktop flicker but nothing actually changes.Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations, Select adobe reader, Choose defaults for this program, PDF is unticked so I tick it and choose save, go back in and it is unticked again??? Right click on a pdf file, choose open with, choose default program, use this app for all .pdf files is ticked, select adobe...Still nothing changes, stays on pick an app. I uninstall adobe reader then the pdf icon changes to and default opens with windows reader again. Reinstall adobe reader and back to the same thing. ???? I am a power user, build configure computers and subsequent software, started with DOS 6.0, learned unix/linux/networking concepts/networking security/server versions of windows/active directory. The only solution I could think of was to hack the registry which I looked for but could not find. I am running 8.1 pro x64, I just discovered that windows reader (which I cant uninstall) has the same problem when adobe reader is installed. Windows will not allow either one to be set as default while they co-exist.

After an extended session with chat only to be told that since Adobe Reader was free they could not help me :-(... I figured it out myself.
I opened a administrator: command prompt window and typed "regedit" Through extensive searching and stumbled on this key located at... HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids The S-1-5-21...1001... is my current logged on user, your value may differ slightly. Typically the builtin disabled administrator account is 1000 and when you install windows and create a user account "John Doe" it will have administrator priveleges and be auto numbered 1001, every user account created therafter will increase by 1 ie...1002, 1003, 1004 etc. even if you remove (delete) an account and re-create it you wont get the same number, the system will use the next number in sequence. The old one will have been trashed never to be used again. Again here is the key...
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids I deleted this key under (default) on the right side...
Name                                                                       Type                                           Data

AppX86746z2101ayy2ygv3g96e4eqdf8r99j            REG_NONE                              (zero-length binary value) ---- This is the key to delete!!!
Personally I selected computer on the left side and the went to file/export then chose a file name [01 29 2014 regbackup.reg] and location. Then I selected "OpenWithProgids" and did the same thing,[pdf.reg] this saves a backup of the entire regestry and the key you are about to delete as a safety net. When you are done all you have to do is go to a pdf file, right click and choose open with...Adobe Reader - the box always use this app should already be checked.
I did this and it works yet because improper regestry modification can crash your system I am compelled to warn... Use at your own risk. If you are uncomfortable modifying your registry I would suggest consulting with someone qualified and has resources to do offline registry modifications/restorations which makes it VERY important to do the computer export registry backup.

Setting a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box

I know this is an unusual question, but I do a lot of file-naming at work with Adobe Standard and it would help me if I could set a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box -- say, by dragging it to the corner of the screen so that the next time Adobe opens, the 'Save As' box will open in that location (rather than in the center by default).
By this, I don't mean setting a location for one session, which it does automatically, but rather setting an initial location for when Acrobat starts up.
Any help would be appreciated.

Scott

How to set a default start and/or end date for New Events based on trigger date.

I'm using the CalendarActivityListener to get current row when clicking on an existing event. As per previous posts this listener gives you access to event detail including Start Date, End Date, etc.
However, what I want to do is to default the start (and end) dates for New Events based on the trigger date.
I've tried the CalendarListener and can grab the Trigger Date from it - however, I can't see a way to pass this directly to the popup/dialog I'm using to create the new event.
At present I'm putting the TriggerDate into the ADFContext session scope e.g. ADFContext.getCurrent().getSessionScope().put("TriggerDate",calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());
Then, I've tried multiple approaches to try and "get" the TriggerDate from session scope to drop it into my new Calendar Event basically, I'm trying to default the InputField(s) associated with the Start Date using the value from the session - I've tried
1. setting the default value for the InputField in the jspx using a binding expression i.e. value="#{sessionScope.TriggerDate}" - this actually sets the value appropriately when the jspx is rendered but, when I go to create I get a NPE and I can't debug. I assumed that it might be a Date type issue - it would appear that CalendarListener provides a date of type java.util.Date and that the StartDate attribute of my VO/EO/table is a DATE and therefore requires oracle.jbo.domain.Date so I tried casting it - to no effect
2. Using a Groovy expression *(StartDate==null?adf.context.sessionScope.TriggerDate:StartDate)* in my calendar's EventVO to default the Start Date to the same result
Any thoughts or ideas?

John,
Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
*if ( bindingContext != null ) {*+
DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+

[SOLVED] LXDM not saving selected session,Default session doesn't work

Hello,
I'm trying to use LXDM to start my desktop. However, every single time I log in, I have to tell it to use XFCE as my session.
Even if I choose it manually, after logout/login it just resets to "Default session" (which doesn't work: just drops back to LXDM).
I looked everywhere in my home directory and not found any place where it stores the session.
Any ideas? lxdm 0.4.1-8, xfce 4.8, x86-64 Arch Linux.
Thanks.

You just need one SET and sing the product_id filed is
probably an integer you don't need the single quotes around it:

SET deli_cool_flag = 1 ,

How set printer defaults for a printer

My motivation is to have my wife's new MacBook always print double-sided. Currently she needs to select the preset that we've made for printing duplex, but that's easy to forget to do.
OS is 10.4.7
Is there a way to set the printer defaults in this OS?
I want to have duplex just be the default, even after reboot, and if she wants to print single-sided then she'd need to select the other preset.
BTW: If it makes a difference -- We're using a Xerox 8550DP, for which the duplex selection is in the standard place of Print -> Layout -> Two-sided -> Long-edged binding
(Some other printers require using the duplex selection in their own printer's section under that Copies & Pages dropdown menu but not this one.)
Maybe I'm just not a very good searcher. I searched many here, MacFixit, MacWorld magazine, generally on the web. Looked in my David Pogues's Tiger book and Andy Ihnatko's Tiger book. I came up with nothing about setting printer defaults at all.
I bet I can tweek it in a pref file. I hope I don't have to resort to a hack to do something this standard.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I think you can do this. Set up a two-sided setting,
and save it. Print with it. Then find the preference
file com.apple.print.custompresets.plist, choose Get
Info, and lock it.
If you want to save another setting, you will have to
unlock it.
Hey this is only a workaround but it is a pretty darned good workaround, especially because it's not too invasive (only locking a pref file at the user level) and what's stored in that custompresets.plist file is com.apple.print.lastPresetPref, which is probably the key to your suggestion. I think I understand it, anyway.
I followed that procedure, created a Custom Preset with duplex turned on which I named "Standard Duplex", then locked the file you suggest that's in my user's home Library. It survived app switching and a reboot. It seems to work great, and I can still use the Standard setting as well if I want to. I even chose the custom setting and although it's locked the temp changes I made were enacted (I chose to print this page, scaled to fit a #10 envelope) and that worked too. The Standard or other presets can still be chosen when you want to use those, and the app remembers the last setting through the rest of the session, it's just that upon opening an app the default is now my custom "Standard Duplex". This does what I want.
I think this is a great workaround. I'm going to go load it onto my wife's MacBook. I suppose I should mark this solved even though there's no real, y'know, user-manual way to do this. Maybe something I'll just hope is a feature in Leopard.
Thank you Bruce and all the other helpful folks who pondered on this one! Heh, I'm sure 1/2 of the tree population thanks you too.

Setting 'something' in session

Dear All,
I have an application which connect to an Oracle 9i R2 database. The data held in the tables is (for example) for entire country. When a user logs into my application, I open a connection to oracle, I want this session to always have a preferred country (like england scotland etc) so that whenever John Smith logs in, this attribute gets set to england whereas is John Smith_1 logs in, this attribute gets set to scotland.
This is not something which is differentiated by roles. Can I set such default values for a particular session? Can anybody guide me to simple tutorials?
My application is written in .NET and I connect to oracle using ODP .NET

Hi!
You can use create_context to create a context and sys_context to read it. It is explained in the SQL Reference Guide.

Setting a Default Value within a Tabular Form

Hi All,
Using Apex 2.2.1
Hoping someone can assist. I have the following two scenarios where I would like to set a default value to a column within a tabular form.
Scenario One:
Prior to actually displaying the tabular form on the page, I have a region on this page where I ask the user to select a Application No. first (using a Select List with Submit). Once this item, say P50_APP is set to a value, the Tabular Form region is then presented to the user by where I then allow them to enter certain information required using the 'Add Row' button. One of the columns within this tabular form also represents the Application No.
My questions are:
a) I have made the Application No. within the tabular form as a LOV, so when the user hits the 'Add Row' button, how can I set the initial value to P50_APP value using the 'Default Type and Default' items within the column?
b) Since I am trying to achieve a master-detail type scenario here, if (a) above is not possible, if I hide the Application No. column within the tabular form, how can I set it to P50_APP when the user presses either the 'Add Row' or 'Submit' buttons?
Scenario Two:
Is it possible to pass a value from a tabular form, i.e a column within this tabular form on one page, to another tabular form column on a another page (when the user presses the 'Add Row' button) within the same application?
For example, on page 50 I have the column #APP_NUMBER# passed onto page 60 which is another tabular form that also holds the same column name #APP_NUMBER# , so when the user on page 60 hits the 'Add Row' button, I would like the App Number column default to the one just passed over from page 50.
Is this possible?
Apologies if I am asking the same things in both scenarios - just want to make sure I understand MRUs.
Thanks.
Tony.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for getting back to me but I think you are referencing these default values in the wrong section.
What I am actually trying to set is the value of a column within a tabular form to P50_APP and it seems to me that the only available options for setting default values on a tabular form column are by using:
Default Type: which can be one of:
No Default
Item (application or page item name) or
PL/SQL Expression or Function
and then actual source is set against:
Default:
Unsure as to how to actually set the value of P50_APP which is in session to the individual tabular column mentioned above.
FYI, I have tried selecting for Default Type: Item (application or page item name) and then specifying for Default:&P50_APP. as well as Default Type:PL/SQL Expression or Function and specifying for Default: :P50_APP but to no avail.
Tony.

Safari not opening firefox even though firefox is set as default in safai

I followed the recommended set up by going to preferences and setting firefox as the default browser.
If I start Safari it does not open the web page using firefox
If I activate firefox from the menu bar it works fine.
Why is setting the default to firefox not working.

Safari is not going to open Firefox since they are both browsers. When you set a default browser, it means that if you click a link in an email, say, the browser that the link will open with is Firefox. If you want to launch a browsing session on your own, you select the browser you want to use.
