Show-Hide Dock Preferences Problem

Recently experiencing intermittent Preferences reset to show Dock all the time. Anyone else having this problem and a possible fix? TIA

The "Standard (PPR)" template is included in all the builtin themes since version 2.0. But if you have upgraded your Apex installation from an earlier version, the upgrade process will NOT stick that template in your existing apps/themes.
To get it, the easiest way is to install the Sample Application (Home>Create Application > Sample Application), choose the theme you want (to match your actual application) and proceed to install the sample application.
Now go to your app, go to the page you are on, click on the + next to the Templates in the 3rd column and choose Report template, "As a copy of a ...", choose the Sample app you just installed, and select the Standard PPR template.
Now all you need to do is go to Report Attributes and switch your report template to this new template and the column header sorting will not refresh the page so your Hide/Show region will stay open.
Hope this helps.
Actually I want to do something a bit fancier and save it in a collection so multiple pages and pages can be saved across user sessions
P.S: Carl, any progress on this? Thanks

Can't open show / hide dock after 10.6.4 update

I choose to hide my dock in systems prefs. When I do, I move my mouse to the bottom of the screen to see if it pops up and it won't show. This never happened to be before the update. Also selecting things has gone all wonky. When I click on my downloads folder, it acts as if I'm still holding down the mouse. This also makes it incredibly difficult to navigate flash websites. Thoughts?

I've upgraded to 10.6.4 and I don't seem to have your problems. Try un-checking hide dock in preference and checking it again.

AppleScript - Show/Hide dock when ScreenSharing Session starts/ends

Hello,
I'd love to have an Apple Script that shows me my Dock when a screen sharing Session starts, and hides it again when the session ends. And it should do this automatically
Is there a way to achieve that????
Thanks a lot

you can do it as follows.
download and install DoSomethingWhen
http://www.azarhi.com/Projects/DSW/
then paste the following into AppleScript Editor
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "System Events"
tell dock preferences
set autohide to false
end tell
end tell</pre>
save it as an application. then make a rule using DoSomethingWhen to run the above application whenever ScreenSharing launches. ScreenSharing.app is located in /System/Library/Coreservices
then make another rule for when screen sharing quits (change false to true in the above script for that one).

Stick Show/Hide Dock Status with each Space ?

Hi,
I'd like to save the Show/Hide status of the Dock with each and every Space, so that for example I can always see the Dock on Space 1 where I have my Mail, iChat, iCal and other apps which use their Dock icons to notify me of new events, but I never want to see it on Space 3 or 4 where I only have Aperture or Logic on my entire screen.
Then I wouldn't have to press commandoptionD to show or hide the Dock each time after switching to a different Space.
Is that somehow possible ?
Thanks !

Dock auto-hides, despite preference setting

An odd occurence with my MBP Retina. Despite the "Automatically hide and show the Dock" preference being UNchecked, my dock still auto-hides, but only when I click on stacks under certain circumstances. So, this doesn't happen when the stack is set to show as List; only when set to show as Grid or Fan. Then, when I single-click on a Grid or Fan stack, the dock will always auto-hide after losing focus. Does anyone else with a MBP Retina have this problem? I'm using the latest software to date, OS X 10.8.3.

If CT's suggestion didn't work, try resetting the dock.
Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn't work.
You need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Server 10.6.8 and dock preferences on 10.7.4 clients

I am a teacher and I have a server in my graphics lab running Mac OS 10.6.8. My school purchased 35 new iMac running OS 10.7.4 and my students can connect to the server and retrieve their files. The preferences for the dock seem to be a problem. Even though I've set the dock prefernces up properly for my older computers, the new ones will not show the items I've placed in the dock (Illustrator, Photoshop, group folders). How can I get the client computers to show the dock preferences I have set on the server in Work Group Manager?
Thanks
Scott

Hello Claudio:
I saw one other post like yours. I do not have similar hardware, so I have no comparison.
You might try (in addition to what you have already done) trashing a preference file (com.apple.dock.plist) and restarting. That will reset your dock to default values.
If that does not help, try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
Barry
P.S. I seriously doubt permissions have anything to do with your problem.

Dock show/hide and magnification sudden problem

MacBook (early 2009) running SnowLeopard from an external hard drive.
Suddenly this morning the dock froze in several respects. It wouldn't "show" automatically when moused to. It won't magnify when an icon is moused over. When the show/hide is turned off in the preferences, the dock displays with no magnification (regardless of magnification being on or off). I can launch a program from the stationary dock, THEN the magnification suddenly appears and won't go away from the screen until I switch to another program using cmd.-tab. What's going on and how can I fix this?

Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

Automatically hide & show the Dock not working

The Dock keeps getting stuck. When I turn the computer on it works fine. But then after a while, the Dock doesn't automatically show when the cursor is at the foot of the screen. If I click at the foot of the screen the Dock appears.
Also, the magnification isn't working. It magnifies the app closest to where I click at the foot of the screen, but the Dock is then 'frozen' and moving the cursor left & right doesn't have any magnifying effect.
I tried turning off Automatically hide & show the Dock and get no magnification whatsoever.
I don't get any of these problems on my Intel'd MacBookPro - just my 2GHz Dual 3GB RAM Power Mac.

I have exactly the same problem on a G5 and a 20' dualcore, both running Leopard...and also when you drop down the menus from the finder bar the selection doesn't turn blue when you run the cursor over them...but this problem hasn't affected my G4 ibook yet...
I don't think Leopard is as stable yet as we would like it to be but i'm sure these little niggles will be sorted out in due time, Tiger was such a good stable OS and Leopard has a lot to live up too..!
It would be nice to get these things sorted sooner rather than later....!

Hide / Show - Creating Conditional Elements Problem

I have created a job application form that requires a 10 year history. The form has fields for 7 previous employers. All fields are required. I have a YES / NO Single Choice Field / Conditional Element at the end of all the fields for each previous employer. The question is: Does this complete the 10 year history? If YES is selected for previous employer #1 I want the remaining 6 previous employers to disappear. If No is selected for previous employer #1 all the remaining previous employers should remain visible. If YES is selected for previous employer #2 the remaining 5 previous employers should disappear….Stick with me, I’m getting to the punch line……
Using the Skip Logic Rules I can make previous employer #2 disappear if previous employer #1 is YES but previous employer #3 is still visible. If previous employer #1 is NO #2 & #3 remain visible. If #2 is YES #3 remains visible. That’s the problem. In Show / Hide Items conditional element the 1st rule is to hide if #1 is NO. and the 2nd rule is hide if #2 is YES. And so on……..
Additionally yesterday I spent a half an hour on Adobe support chat before I was disconnected with the solution still unresolved. Then I called Adobe support and logged over 2 hours between hold and remote support trying to figure this out. Finally I was told this problem would have to be sent to a “higher level”. That was at 3:00 pm PST. The “higher level” has yet to come down to my level so I’m hoping against hope this may be the place to get some insight.

Hi;
You could share your form with me and I could take a look, but what about having all additional employers hidden, then if at the end of #1 they answer "No" then #2 empoyer group of questions would show, then the same thing for the "Yes/No" at the end of #2, if answered "No" then the group for employer #3 would be shown? That way the form would look cleaner, and requiring answering the "Yes/No" would force the user to either add additional employers or not until they were finished...
If you'd like me to take a look at it share with [email protected] and please include a reference to this Forum post so I know what we are looking for, instructions for sharing your form: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2462
Thanks,

How do I make this script: Hide dock while Gimp is open, automatically?

Scenario: I need to maximize my 1024x768 screen when I do photo editing, so every time I open Gimp.app, I hide my dock. Since I tend to re-arrange icons on my dock periodically, I generally like to leave it showing. When I quit Gimp.app, I sometimes forget to un-hide the dock and am annoyed later on when I can't easily see the icons.
Goal: This may seem trivial, but it would be nice to make a small application that does the following:
1) Either launch Gimp.app, or simply link something to Gimp.app that launches my home-made application concurrently.
2) Hides the Dock when Gimp.app launches.
3) Runs in the background, ideally not visibly, and not using more than 4 or 5 MB of RAM or generating any processor load, and observes when I either quit Gimp.app or quit X11.
4) Shows the dock and terminates itself when I Gimp.app closes.
If I use this as a launcher, I could give it a Gimp icon and put it in the Dock instead of Gimp. If it is activated by Gimp, the other option I mentioned in #1, the icon would not be significant because hiding mode will be turned on every time my home-made app is open.
I see several potential solutions but can't iron out the details. I have searched Google and these forums, and found solutions to a few similar problems, but have not been able to adapt those solutions to my needs. If this could be handled better with something other than AppleScript, feel free to point it out. The ideas I have for doing this are:
1) Write an AppleScript
2) Set this up in Automator
3) Save a Unix shell script, or
4) Write a simple Java application.
I think using Java would make this unnecessarily complicated, because #1, #2, and #3 can all handle system events quite well, that's not really what Java was meant to do. It may still be an option, though. I have generated a few working parts of the program in #1 and #2, but I the only waiting command I could find waits for the user to click in a dialogue box, not to quit an application.
I hope this isn't too much of a newbie question, I've done a lot with Macs before, and this ought to be simple but I'm stumped. I've never needed to post on a Mac forum, but you can find me all over the Linux forums, since that isn't my forte! Help will be greatly appreciated.

Save the code, provided below, as an applications (AppleScript applet, via the 'File Format:' popup menu), and click on the 'Options:' 'Stay Open' checkbox to add a check mark.
-- Code starts here --
property tApp : "Gimp"
on run {}
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Dock" to keystroke "d" using command down & option down
tell application tApp to activate
end run
on idle {}
tell application "System Events"
set pNames to name of processes
tell process "Dock" to if (not (pNames contains tApp)) then
keystroke "d" using command down & option down
tell me to quit
end if
end tell
return 2
end idle

when I am opening any application including safari, these icons are not showing in dock, how to get open applications in my dock?

This could be a plist corruption problem, but I'm not sure.
Sometimes, the preference list files get corrupted. You can usually just remove them and they'll get re-created. This may require you to reset certain settings. A notable exception to this is the Mail plist which actually stores the Library structure of your email accounts. Deleting the Mail plist will definitely cause lots of problems, but is recoverable.
The plist files are stored in the /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ folder. They usually have the naming convention of com.company.programname.plist.
A simple troubleshooting technique is to move a suspect plist file out of the Preferences folder and start up the app, again. It will re-create the plist from scratch.
In your case, I would try the com.apple.dock.plist. You can use Activity Monitor to kill the Dock app and it will restart. Or, you can log out and log back in.
There is a new file with Leopard called com.apple.dock.db. I haven't figured out what it does, but you might try moving it out. If anything gets worse, you can move the old file back in replacing the newly created one.
This all sound somewhat odd, so I don't know if this will help.

Screen sharing - difficult to show the dock

I've had this problem in Mavericks and now again in Yosemite. When screen sharing with another computer whose dock "Automatically" hides and shows the dock, I have a very difficult time positioning the cursor so that a hidden dock will reveal itself. Sometimes an initial waking of the dock works normally but subsequent tries to bring up a hidden dock will take multiple tries, putting the cursor close to the bottom edge of the shared screen, moving the cursor along the bottom edge, etc. It's almost like you have to tickle the area where the dock will appear to get its attention. Sometimes I'll spend minutes trying to get the dock to appear. This happens on a local network so it's not like there is a network delay problem.
What's going on here?

I have this too. Very irritating. Especially when you are in full screen screen sharing, because when you hover the cursor at the bottom of the screen, the host dock pops up and obscures the dock in the screen sharing window.
Here is a workaround: Press cmd-option-d (d for DOCK).
This will show or hide the dock.
And because you are in screensharing, all shortcuts will be sent to the target system and not to your local machine.

Photoshop CS6 Show/Hide Polygons issue

Hi. I am doing an assignment for class, using Photoshop CS6, and I am having problems with the show/hide polygons feature. After hiding the polygons of the unselected area, I am able to reveal the entire object by choosing "Reveal All". However, if I ever need to invert the other polygons, by choosing 'Invert Visible", and then want to reveal the entire object again, all it does is inverts it back the other way around. Is this a bug, or is this how it works?

I apologize for the confusion. Let me try to start over, following the instructions you are asking to provide. The computer that has Photoshop installed is from school, so I will try the best I can giving you detailed specs. For what I know, It is a PC running Windows 7 64bit, but I do not know the amount of RAM as I do not have permission to access the control panel or any of its system settings. The version of Photoshop is CS6 13.0 Extended, and its performance preferences re the following...
Available Ram: 34827MB
IdealRange: 1884-2467MB
Allow Photoshop to use: 2056MB
HardDrive: 835GB
as for the error, there is no error. I might of not been specific, but I am not stupid not to include the type of error if there was any...
Other things like the grand total ram, video card, and video ram are all accessible by the administrator only.
the file I am working on, is an imported 3ds Max file. I was trying to use Photoshop's 3D painting tool, and from what I understand, it is possible to hide polygons by selecting an area you would like to keep, and what is not selected gets hidden. This is supposed to be good for painting areas that are behind parts of the mesh that is in the way. From the instruction, you are suppose to select the area that you want to keep, and then choose 3d->Show/Hide Polygons->Within Selection. This part I was able to do. Once I was happy with what I needed to paint, I then selected 3d->Show/Hide Polygons-> invert. This allowed me to continue painting other hard areas of the mesh by revealing what was hidden and hides what is visible. Then, when I was ready to reveal the entire mesh back, I was thinking that I should be able to do this by clicking on 3d->Show/Hide Polygon->Reveal All. However, this only reverts the visibility back the other way around as if I clicked on revert.
So what I was wondering is if this is how the 3d reveal all tool works or is this a bug?
I hope this clear things up, if not, please let me know.
