[solved] XDG menu: possible to hide items?

When installing applications, .desktop files can be added to /usr/share/applications resulting in new items in my XDG menu (in XFCE's panel). I know I can add items by adding .desktop files of my own in ~/.local/share/applications, but what I'd like to do is remove some items.
For example, having QT installed I got a bunch of items in my "Development" menu, from files /usr/share/applications/{assistant,designer,linguist}.desktop
I'd like to remove them, the menu items I mean, and was wondering if that is somehow possible without modifying/removing those files (so that they don't come back after every update) ?

Alright, I got it. Thanks.
Actually I had seen that key (NoDisplay), also tried with Hidden, but I just realized why it didn't work : the files need to have the exact same name! (I had tried using the same values for Name/Exec, or same everything, but somehow always used a different file name it seems...)
In fact, it works even with files with only the following, as long as the filename matches:
[Desktop Entry]
NoDisplay=true

Show/hide items in list component possible?

Hi all,
I'm quite a newbie in Flash, and more so in components.
Currently, I'm working on a project that works in this way:
I've got a combo box with 5 items, and a list with 10 items. The
combo box works like a filter and when selected on an item, the
list should only show items pertaining to the selection. For eg, my
5 items in the combo box are the alphabets A,B,C,D,E. My 50 items
in the list are some country names. So when "C" in the combo box is
selected, the list should display countries starting with C, like
Canada, China, and so on..
Let's say my indexes for C in the list are 10-15, is it
possible to hide items with index 0-9, and 16-49? I tried searching
but it seems there isn't a show/hide function for list
components.

combo box selection is made. Have the full list as an array, so
that when a combo box selection is made, its change function clears
the list and then rewrites it based on matching the combo box label
to the first character of each array element.
Thanks, your comments helped!

How to hide items on Windows 8 File Explorer Ribbon

Scenario
This article describes how to hide items on the file explorer ribbon in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
Method
We can implement it via customizing the permission of the related registry keys.
Note: Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.
Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you
export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.
Step 1:
Open
Registry Editor and locate to following registry key under which you can find the corresponding keys of the items on the File Explorer Ribbon.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\
In the following figure, it shows the Add a network location item on the file explorer ribbon, and the corresponding
registry key in Registry Editor.
Step 2:
Take ownership of the registry key
Note: You can take ownership
of a registry key if you are logged on as an administrator or if you have been specifically assigned the permission to take ownership of the registry key by the current owner.
Right-click on the registry key which you want to take ownership of,
and then select
Permissions... option.
Click on
Advanced button to grant special permissions in the key.
At the top to the right of the current
Owner, click on the Change link.
Enter
Administrator in the Enter the object name to select
box, and then click on Check Names.
Click on
OK twice to apply.
Step 3:
Change the permission of the registry key.
On
Permissions for the key name display dialog, click
Administrators in the Group or user names window, and then select the
Allow check box for
Full Control
option.
Click
Users in the Group or user names window, and then select the
Deny
check box for
Full Control
option.
Step 4:
Click on
Apply and OK to save the changes and the following figure shows the modified permissions and owner.
Step 5:
When you open File Explorer, the item you would like to hide disappears. For your information, the following is an example:
Item: Add a network location
Corresponding Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\Windows.AddNetworkLocation
For advanced users
You can also deploy script with Set-Acl which is a PowerShell command to take ownership and change permissions
of the keys. For your information, please refer to the following articles to learn more about this command:
Set-Aclhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849810.aspx
SET-ACL on registry key

The reason they gave was it is possible for the file to stay open when done with the file. (not properly closing) As the driver would be accessing the file to retrieve the thumbnail.
The thing is a driver is nothing more than a program it self. Therefore it is capable of opening and closing a file and placing the thumbnail into the database for that folder. It then would be capable to verify if the thumbnail exists in that database. Since the driver only has to run when explorer is open in that folder's view, it really is not running that often.
The catch I can see it when both Illustrator and explorer are running at the same time. Which one should close the file? The solution would be a small app that verifies that both programs are running and has control of clean up when both have closed. The driver and Illustrator could also in theory check and see if the other is running, if it is do nothing if not then close the file.
So it really boils down to having the driver and Illustrator talking to each other.

Is it possible to hide the save function and only use the save as function in teststand

Hi,
When i'm done building a sequence i want to prevent other engineers to save the sequence with the same filename (or version number).
Is it somehow possible to "hide" the save button and only use the save as function?
Or is there another possiblity to solve my problem.
The idea is to have a sequence called Sequence_V1.0.seq which i have build. When installing this in a factory enviroment I would like whenever there is a change needed in the sequence that the version number increases (manual action) (becomes Sequence_V1.1.seq). So from the moment you want to save i would like to only have the function save as. In this way you are obligated to fill in a new sequence name (original sequence will be read-only)
What would even be great if there could be a log of what the changes were
Thx!!!

1) You could mark the file as read-only, by default you would then not be able to save over it. The user could make it not read-only though if they know what they are doing.
2) Another possibility is to lock the sequence file for editing (this is a teststand feature). Go to the Sequence File Property dialog, on the advanced tab, where it says Password Protection, set it to Not Editable and give it a good password. This doesn't however keep someone from saving another file to the same name as the locked one, but they at least won't be able to saved the locked file again without your password, nor will they be able to edit it.
Hope this helps,
-Doug

Is it possible to include items and portlets in an unstructured UI template

Is it possible to include items and portlets in an unstructured UI template. The solution which we are working on requires to have the following dynamic entities as part of the unstructured UI template
- Page Path
- Basic Search (item)
- People Search (portlet)
- Current Date (we could achieve this by using <oracle>select sysdate from dual</oracle> in the html code... however, the date appears with a different background color)
We are working on Oracle 10g AS 9.0.4.

Hello Matt,
Thank you for the reply to my email menu question.
I have a couple of things that have been bouncing around in my head that maybe you could answer for me:
1. I see where I have a free site to promote web hosting, of which I selected the site name as NewtonBridgeAdv.... Will this site allow me to fully integrate it into the web with my design, e-commerce, email marketing, as this site NewtonBridgeAdv.com? I currently have NewtonBridgeAdv listed on http://www.thruadoor.com/advertising-agency.html but would like to move it to a more complete site.
2. I see where SuperSupportTeam.com is expiring on 14, June 2014. This site was cancelled as WebMarketing a few weeks ago (but still current with the payment) and is now set up as one of the five basic sites. The payment was not refunded for this months web marketing so maybe this is what it is referring to. I don't know. I wanted the credit applied to an upgrade to E-Commercee on thruAdoor.com. However, I was not granted the refund.
3. I thought I had viewed a sales commission on the Portal credited to the current site hosting, but now the account is empty. How do I warrant a commission for any sites that I may host on BC?
4. I may not understand what some of the BC team members have said about my current site thruAdoor.com in that it is not set up properly or not linked properly with BC. I don't know what they are talking about. Can you help?
Thanks,

Tax entry not possible in this item
Message no. FF724
Diagnosis
You can not enter a tax amount in this item since, due to the posting amount entered and the tax code, a total tax amount of zero has been calculated.
This could either be due to the fact that the tax code has been defined with a value of 0%, or because the posting amount entered (that is, the tax base) is too small.
Example:
With a tax rate of 15%, a tax amount greater than zero will only be achieved with a base amount greater than 0.04. With values of 0.03 and less, it is therefore not possible to enter a tax amount.
Procedure
Only enter tax amounts in conjunction with tax codes for which a percentage rate not equal to zero has been defined. Make sure that in documents with several G/L account items you enter the total tax amount in an item with a sufficiently high posting amount.
do you have an idea to solve it?
Regards
Arnaud

Hide items relevant information for the master contract

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to hide item relevant information like Item number /product /product description and product category etc.. on the general tab page for the transaction type master contract .
Could you please help me to solve my problem
Thanks and Regards,
Sai

Hi
By setting the indicator to 'X' for the information type 01 (Master data changes) in the IMG path Financial Accounting --> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable --> Business Transactions --> Submit to Collection Agency --> Specifications for Forwarding Information to Collection Agencies.
The system now records the entries in table DFKKCOLL_CH and gets captured in the update information file to collection agency. The system internally calls the function module FKK_GET_DATA_FOR_COLL_AGENCY which does the insertion of entries into table DFKKCOLL_CH.
Also refer to SAP note 1592532 for more information.

Is it possible to hide a forms user parameter in the wrapper HTML page?

Is it possible to hide a forms user parameter in the wrapper HTML page? I.E I want to start my form with MODULE=myForm userid=scott/tiger@db myParameter=SECRET.
The http://myserver/servlet/f60servlet?config=myconfig successfully starts the application (after update of the basejini.htm and adding this section to the formsweb.cfg
[myconfig]
userid=scot/tiger@db
myParameter=SECRET)
However, when looking at the source of the wrapper html page one can see MODULE=myForm userid= myParameter=SECRET.
As you can see the userid is nicely hidden by my secret parameter is not.
Thanks in advance for ideas for solving this…

We logged a similar issue through Oracle support recently (hiding the password) and we did get a very unsatisfactory response :
====
View source is the functionality for browser . So that can't be done.
You have two possible workaround for your problem.
1.
Invoke Registry & move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES >> SOFTWARE >> ORACLE. Here create a new string value with the name LOCAL & value as the connect string you want. Now when you run the form on web, just give user name & password, the form picks the connect string from Registry.
Note : You need to make registry entry in a machine where Forms Server is running.
2.
You can hardcode the username, password & connect string in the form's ON-LOGON trigger. To do this use LOGON built-in.
====
Should you receive a better response : we are also interested.

Is it possible to hide my cc email from app menus? (to make video tutorials privately)

Hi, I just wanted to know if it's possible to hide the CC email address, such as the one in the Edit menu in Photoshop CC. In many video tutorials I've seen, people seem to manually blur it out every time, which seems very silly. If it's not possible, I'll just make a new junk mail address and go with that.

Hi Nick2828,
Its not possible that I'm aware of, maybe sign out of the app temporarily? or do what you suggested.

Possible to hide browse sequences?

I have a few topics in my chm that do not contain browse
sequences. They are standalone topics that do not appear in the TOC
or index. When the help is called from the application, they are
launched in the right pane of the chm. The problem I have is that a
"default" browse sequence will still appear at the top of the chm
even though the topics don't have any assigned browse sequences.For
these topics, is it possible to hide the browse sequences from
appearing?

Hi Emmanuel
Actually this should be possible. What you would do is to
create a new window that would be used for your context sensitive
calls. Then when your developer calls the help, they specify the
window it should appear in. That window would be configured with no
browse sequence bar.
Cheers... Rick
