Showing menu instead of stacks

I just upgraded to Leopard and think its pretty nice, with one exception. I created a series of alias' to launch applications, much like the Start menu in Windows. Things are organized by type, then the applications are listed, all alias'. The top level is added to the dock. In Tiger, this opened a menu of top-level application types, then a sub-menu for each application. In Leopard, it is seen as a stack, and as such, only shows the top-level application type. I have to click one of them to open a Finder window that displays the apps to launch. I don't like this, the purpose is to launch application fast, not open a finder window and then launch the app. Is there any way to make it respond like a menu rather than a stack? Thanks,
Todd

A couple of workarounds, Todd:
First, you could make aliases of the actual apps that are nested in folders and put them at the root level of Applications. Then view as "Grid" so you wouldn't have to go to Finder.
The second is a tip from Francine.
1. Make a AppAlias folder.
2. Add a space, or two (__) so it appears at the top and put it in your Applications folder.
3. Drop your AppAlias folder into /Library/Scripts.
4. Go to /Applications/AppleScript and run the Applescript Utility, turn on "Show Script menu in menu bar" and check show scripts at bottom.
5. You can now access all your apps and anything else you put in that the folder.
Be judicious, I don't know the limits.

The History menu can only show that fixed maximum of 15 as that is hard coded.
Maybe this extension helps:

Dynamic ColumnSet rendering as 'overlaid' instead of 'stacked'

Hi all...
I'm struggling to get a stacked column set working within a cartesian chart. The chart object and horizontal axis are defined statically within mxml code, and the column set, column series, vertical axis, and other vertical axes, axis renderers, and line/plot series components are all defined dynamically in actionscript. I've seen several examples online, and I appear to be doing everything the same way, yet when I specify my ColumnSet object's type attribute to 'stacked' it renders all the column series data as overlaid instead of stacked. I can specify 'clusterd' dynamically (leaving everything else the same) and it will re-render correctly as clustered, but I've tried several different 'workarounds' to try and force stacked to occur without any luck.
Has anyone else seen this sort of prolbem before? I'm using Flex 3.5 and run inside Flash Player 10.
I've been struggling to get this working for several days now, so any help would be appreciated.
Here's a snippet of the MXML definitions:
                    <mx:CartesianChart id="myColumnChart"
                                    doubleClickEnabled="true"
                                    width="100%"
                                    height="100%"
                                    paddingTop="2"
                                    paddingRight="2"
                                    styleName="ColumnChart"
                                       showDataTips="true"
                                       dataTipFunction="dTips">
                        <mx:seriesFilters>
                            <mx:Array/>
                        </mx:seriesFilters>
                        <mx:horizontalAxis>
                            <CommonCtrlElem:EspDateTimeAxis autoAdjust="true" baseAtZero="false"
                                              displayLocalTime="false"
                                              displayName="{myTSField}"
                                              dataUnits="{myTSPrecision}"
                                              labelUnits="{myLabelPrecision}"
                                              maximum="{maxHorAxisVal}"
                                              minimum="{minHorAxisVal}"
                                              />
                        </mx:horizontalAxis>
                        <mx:horizontalAxisRenderers>
                            <mx:AxisRenderer axis="{myColumnChart.horizontalAxis}"
                                             cachePolicy="off" canDropLabels="false" canStagger="false"/>
                        </mx:horizontalAxisRenderers>
                       
                    </mx:CartesianChart>
The overall chart 'series' is built as an Array object, with the first element being a ColumnSet containing an array of ColumnSeries elements as the ColumnSet object's 'series' element value. Then there are other Plot/Line series elements appended to the top chart's 'series' array before it gets tied to the chart object as its new 'series' component value.
There is alot of other stuff going on within the actionscript, which is why I have just summarized the order of it above rather than include it. As I mentioned previously, it works fine if I specify the ColumnSet's type attribute to 'clustered', so I know all the data is there and getting set up properly...it's just showing up as 'overlaid' instead of 'stacked' if I specify 'stacked.'
Thanks in advance,
JJ

I should add....
If I define my same components statically in mxml, the stacked chart renders fine. It only appears to be a problem if the series is built dynamically.
Here's what the series component equivalent looks like in mxml (where it stacks just fine):
     <mx:series>
          <mx:Array>
               <mx:ColumnSet type="stacked">
                    <mx:series>
                         <mx:Array>
                              <mx:ColumnSeries .../>
                              <mx:ColumnSeries .../>
                              <mx:ColumnSeries .../>
                         </mx:Array>
                    </mx:series>
               </mx:ColumnSet>
               <mx:LineSeries ..../>
               <mx:LineSeries..../>
               <mx:PlotSeries.../>
          </mx:Array>
     </mx:series>
Thx,
JJ

Discoverer 10.1.2.55.26 Viewer Shows NULL instead of Blank

Hello All,
we recently installed Discoverer 10.1.2.55.26 and applied cumulative patches(CM4). we migrated 9.04 version reports to Discoverer 10g(10.1.2.55.26).
On all the Reports, we see NULL instead of Blank spaces in the data in the viewer. How can we change all of the reports to show blank space instead of NULL.
Please share your experience and thoughts on this Issue
Thank you
Chandu Ambati

Thank you Tamir,
Before i try on the big bang approach. I tried changing the worksheet options for one of the worksheet that shows NULL.
I changed from NULL to blank space and saved the workbook.
we use Oracle Portal to show these workbooks as Portal Views. Portal View was showing NULL before the change, and after changing the worksheet options and saving it, i refreshed the portal view and it started showing Blank instead of NULL. Works fine for that day.
The next Day again it started showing NULL.
Do u think are we missing any step?
Thanks again for your help.

I cannot figure out how to fix my Pictures Folder so that I can click on it and view it in Finder, when I double click on it Terminal opens up with this message "Pictures - Bash 80x24" and

It will not let me replace or delete the folder... I got to my files and backed them up, but trying to avoid reinstalling my OS.
2: When I try to Upgrade my Library.iPhoto file so I can open it in iPhoto it says I need to finish by opening in iPhoto, but then when I do, it tells me it first needs to be upgraded in the iPhoto Library Upgrader... Vicious circle. Please, help! Just trying to recover about 3 years worth of photos...

Hi! Thanks for responding!
I have iPhoto 9.5.1, I am on OS X Version 10.9.5 on a MacBook Pro with 2.66 GHz
My current "iPhoto Library" file is OK (I can open it with iPhoto), however I cannot access the old one from iPhoto 6 titled Library.iPhoto
I tried right clicking and choosing the application, it did not work.
"exactly how did you "I got to my files and backed them up"" - I showed the contents of my Pictures folder, and it opened up the folders in Finder and I copied them to an external hard drive. In my Picture folder I have several folders of Photos plus the iPhoto Library files (old & current)
I do have old back ups, but they are from April, and I recently imported 5 months of photos from my iPhone, so the iPhoto Library I copied after showing contents is the one I need.

When my husband and I try to share our libraries and import from each others libraries, we get as far as seeing the library on the screen. The next step is to look for the 'Show' menu at the bottom of the screen, but neither of us has any such thing. ?

Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

You can't do that. Only the sending number is transmitted by the carrier with an SMS message. If the recipient has you in their address book, with most smart phones and some others, the name will display, but that's a function of the phone on the receiving end.

OT - Attack of the As? Mail is showing As instead of E-mail content?

Hi all:
In the past few days, most of the e-mails I am receiving are showing up as full of little As, some inside boxes, some just lines of As. It seems that they are mostly showing up instead of signatures, graphics, etc. Very strange. I use Mail and I can send and receive my own e-mails with graphics attached and they show up fine. I mailed myself an e-mail with a graphic attached to test it and the result was perfect.
Tried deleting Mail prefs (com.apple.mail.plist) but unfortunately that is where Apple also keeps your mailboxes so I couldn't delete the .plist.
Has anyone experienced this weirdness and if so, how did you fix it? It is really obnoxious not being able to see half of the content of your e-mails. Some logos show up but most seem to be getting turned into As as well as a lot of content. This just started a few days ago, I have not updated software or anything new lately since this began.
Anyone have any advice on how to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Dan Brockett

It sounds as though you have corrupted fonts.
What I would suggest is a safe boot, pram reset and a general repair of permissions.
Not necessarily in that order. Try changing the font that mail uses in mail preferences. You should be able to identify which font is causing the problem.
