Setting default text editor for sql+ in win2k

the define _editor=...command in sqlplus doesn't seem to be
working for me. Can anyone shed a bit of light on how to make
this work under windows 2000 pro? I want to get rid of notepad
and replace it with NoteTab which is a much more advanced text
editor over the stock m$ editor.
thx in advance for any assistance.

I'm using WIN2k and it works for me:
DEFINE _EDITOR = "c:\program files\lemmy\lemmy.exe"

Set default text editor (no type, creator or extension)

I would like BBedit to be the default text editor not TextEdit.
I work in Terminal a lot and often encounter files that were sent to me by someone using Linux and have no type, creator or extension. I want these to open in BBedit not TextEdit.
The problem can be recreated like this:
Create an empty file in the Terminal like this:
%touch testfile
Select testfile in the Finder and set BBedit as the application to open this file. Click the "Change all" button to make this global.
I then get an error about there being not enough information. I'm given the option to update and I do.
Then double clicking on testfile does, in fact, open the file in BBedit.
Now the rub. If I then generate another file called testfile2 like this:
%touch testfile2
Testfile 2 opens in TextEdit when double clicked in the Finder.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure how to set a default for files like that. What I do for files that aren't cooperative like that is just have BBEdit (well, actually, TextWrangler for me) on the Dock and then just drag and drop them.
You could potentially use an AppleScript or shell script to set the creator code to 'R*ch' for a batch of files. Type and creator codes used to be the Mac's alternative to extensions, but they were unfortunately left behind in Mac OS X, since the rest of the computing world didn't understand them. There's still support for them hiding in the OS, though. Looks like there's a script that'll do the trick here:

Default text editor for files with no extension

If I double-click on a file with a name like README, the Finder opens the file with TextEdit.app. I can easily change which editor is used if the file had an extension (e.g. if it was called README.txt or README.html), but without an extension, OS X had no way to set a preferred editor. If I open this from the terminal I can set the EDITOR environment variable, or use open -a appName, but my question is about the Finder. Thanks!

extremely annoying. when i first switched to OS X, i had to rewite a hundred or so perl scripts for my servers... because any text file or data file or whatever, that didn't have an extension after it, would no longer open in BBEdit, like it always did in 9.2
3 years later i'm still occasionally getting that annoying 'doh, what do i open this with' message. macs are getting dumber all the time.
i guess apple thinks windows got it right associating the extension with the app.
and half my 'change alls' don't stick either.

[AA7+] [Windows] Set default text size for "auto" setting...

Good morning:
I was wondering if it is possible to set the default font size or specify a maximum font size
for the auto setting of the font size on a text field when using the auto setting?
Currently, if the font size is set to "auto" it defaults to 12 pt. text if multiline is checked on the Options tab.
If multiline is not checked on the Options tab, the font size will adjust to the height of the box.
I would like to have the multiline checked, specify "auto" for the font size, but have the auto font size be no larger than 8 pts.
It can go smaller than 8 pts. if there is too much text in the field, but should not be larger than 8 pts. because the other form fields are in 8 pt.
If someone has any suggestions on how to achieve this, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks!
Theresa

Thanks Jongware!
I'm aware of the many different forums and I thought I was posting it in the Acrobat Scripting forum.
That'll teach me to look where I post. I guess I'm the one that needs the glasses.
Take care!

[svn] 3148: You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView.

Revision: 3148
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-09-08 15:01:15 -0700 (Mon, 08 Sep 2008)
Log Message:
You can now use CSS styles to set the default text format for TextView. It no longer has any formatting properties. It supports the entire set of Gumbo text format styles.
SkinnableComponent and Group now also support all these styles. However, skins such as ButtonSkin, TextInputSkin, and TextAreaSkin continue for now to specify instance styles on their TextBox, TextGraphic, and TextView, in order to give them a Gumbo look rather than a Halo look. So if you try setting, for example, the fontSize on the Application, it doesn't yet affect the text format of a Button, TextInput, TextArea, etc. unless you remove the instance style in the skin.

Nevermind guys - I did it using the 'rb_on.selected' command on the "on" radio button if the .txt file variable was "on", else the "off" radio button is selected.
Thanks for taking a look though!

[SOLVED] How to open default text editor from bash script?

as header states i would like my script to open the desktops default text editor. I use xfce.

EDITOR will often not be the default desktop environment editor - it is usually limited to being a systemwide (and usually console-ready) editor.
xdg-open, or a related tool, can give you the desktop's text editor.
Truth. VISUAL is typically used for the graphical text editor.
So, to use VISUAL if it exists, but otherwise default to medit, do:
editor="${VISUAL:-medit}"
$editor foo.txt

Pages - Default Text Editor?

How can I make Pages my default text editor?

Hi DennisG,
Thank you for the link. Now I have it, small file download. Yes it does look interesting, it will be fun to play around with getting to know it.
On a side note to both you and Yvan: Back in my Windows days I did MS Office tech support. That caused me to became quite a Word junky creating specialty docs, brochures, and the like. With the arrival of Pages rarely do I use Word, only when someone needs assistance with a Word doc. I've moved to Pages, for what I do it's so much better than Word 2004 (don't have 2008).
Some friends using AW want help with their AW thingys, so to assist them I reinstalled AW. Wow, I question why for years I hadn't used it: now I use AW more than Pages and Numbers. It amazes me how fast AW is, plus I like the DB as well. Yes the word processor and spreadsheet aren't as graphical as Numbers and Pages however, the print outs are very good, and both modules do numerous things Pages and Numbers yet cannot do.
The more I use AW the more I understand why folks wished Apple, rather than start iWork from scratch, ported AW to iWork. Let's hope the next version of iWork will catch up to AW becoming the cats meow perhaps.
Again thank you for the Bean link.
Sincerely,
RicD

Make Pages default text editor

How do I make Pages the default text editor? (Double click a .txt file and Pages opens instead of Appleworks)

Hello kelwhite01,
welcome to the Pages Discussions. Select a ".txt" Document in a Finder window and open the Infowindow for it (shortcut: "command" and "i"). In the middle of the window you see a section titled "Open with". There you can choose the app you want to open the selected document with. After choosing Pages, press the button at the bottom of the section to order the system to open every document of that type with Pages.

Right-click the WINDOWS desktop, choose New->Microsoft Data Link. That will bring up a dialog that allows you to configure and test your database connection. You might connect to the Access database via ODBC or directly via Jet Engine. The Jet Enginge saves you the trouble of creating an ODBC connection on your PC. After you leave the dialog, the "data link" will show up on your desktop as text file. Open it and copy-paste the connection string to your VI.
This webpage is an excellent resource for connection strings: http://www.able-consulting.com/ADO_Conn.htm
If your application requires users to change the database connection at runtime, you can also include the dialog via ActiveX (MSDASC.IDataSourceLocator).

Set default grid artwork for composer grid view

As the title I wanted to know if there is a way to set default grid artwork for composer grid view.
Thanks.

Nope. It is the first image from the first track of the first album that has artwork. As you move your pointer over the icon you will get any other images assoicated with that composer.

Default text-editor

When I download a text-file in Safari, by default TextEdit is launched. Unfortunately, it cannot recognise the numerous fields in the Word-documents that are involved.
Can I change the default text-editor to Word ?

I am not quite sure what you have in mind when you say to select the file-icon. I find the link in Safari, and click on it. That produces the 'Downloads' window, which eventually shows the file as downloaded. I can put the focus on to the row containing the file name, but I cannot highlight it. What ought I to be doing ?
Find the file in the Downloads folder in your Home folder, not in the Downloads window. Then do as suggested.

Default text size for a scaling/auto field

Hi All,
Im currently using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and am working in a PDF all written in size 10 font. I have text fields that need to be entered and scale if too much text is written. I've set the font size as 'Auto' and this scales without issue, however when the field is first entered and not yet scaled (as in, there is enough room for the text) it defaults to size 12. I'm needing this to default to size 10, and still be able to scale if too much text is entered, but I can't find any options for this. I essentially lose my ability to set the default text by setting it to 'Auto' yet it's still going to size 12 by default - how can I change this setting to size 10?
I've tried searching various forums for this answer but can never find exactly what I'm after - Any help will be appreciated.
Joel

Thanks for the response George.
If that's the case, would I be able to write an 'on mouse down' java script as a work around, or will these font sizes be dealt with the same. As in, if I change font size with a script to 10, will this effectively remove my 'auto' text size that allows scaling?

Set default value based on sql query?

Hi,
is it possible to set default value of an BC entity attribute by using sql expression?
Eg. "select max(x)+1 from y where userid=?"
Rgs
Jernej

Jernej,
Yes, you can do this. Edit your entity object attribute, and in the Edit Attribute dialog select "Derived from SQL Expression". Then you can enter your expression in the Expression text box.
