Something I miss or don't understand

Hello all,
SQL Developer 4.0.0.13.80
Windows XP 32 Bit
4 GB RAM, Intel Quad core 2.6 GHz
Java 1.7.0.45
Oracle 11g
I'm a user of SQL Developer since Raptor 1.something and since then I am missing some stuff in this IDE to smoothly use this application
(or perhaps some stuff is now integrated in Version 4 but i don't find it).
I know, many of the following points are pedantic, but in sum...
I like colors, but:
01. No support of Syntax-Colors for the following PL/SQL-Words: "pls_integer", "simple_integer", "binary_integer", "rowtype", "boolean"
02. No support of Syntax-Colors for all SQL-Functions like "trunc", "substr" etc. (but "length" is working?)
03. No support of Syntax-Colors for Oracle-internal packages like "dbms_output", "utl_file" etc.
04. No support of Syntax-Colors for all predefined exceptions like "no_data_found", "too_many_rows" etc. ("others" is working)
05. No support of Syntax-Colors for "autonomous_transaction", "result_cache"
I like Shortcuts, but:
06. Alt-0 to show File List is not working (works in Version 3?)
07. Alt-Shift-D to delete current line is not workling
08. Ctrl-Space to activate Completion insight is not working
09. I am missing a shortcut key to easily jump from worksheet to query result and back.
10. What are these Emacs-Shortcuts?
11. You can collapse/expand code by clicking with your mouse on a plus/minus-sign in the code-editor. This is nice!
      And there is also a possibility to assign a Shortcut-Key (see Source->Collapse/Expand All/Block/Doc/Methods).
      But no assign works...
12. Why we have Java related Shortcut-Keys like Build, Application? Because of underlying JDeveloper?
I like Infos, but:
13. If you press Ctrl-F8 to compile a package, there is no message that compile runs (compile progress),
     only a message if compile has ended. So what is the Preference "Compiler" for?
14. In "Messages", after compiling you only read "Compiled" or "Compiled (with errors)". If you press F11/F12 to commit/rollback,
     you see many more infos (worksheet-name, date etc) Is it possible to see more infos after compiling a package
     (like package-name or file-name, compile time, compiled DB etc) too?
15. If i open a file by double-click on a file-name in the "Files"-pane: some files have the pin greyed out (and are unpinned),
     some files have the pin in color (and are unpinned), some files are pinned. I do not get it. What is the exact definition when
     a file is pinned/unpinned at opening? In Preferences i have set "Autopin PL/SQL-Editors, Max open Editor 20" on.
16. Why do i see in the Code-Editor "Syntax Error" (red underline) for "show error" in the last line of my Code? Compiling is successful.
...and, you know, tree navigation in the connections folder is horrible if you have more than one connection open...
But after all: thank you for your work!
Regards
Markus

Of course! It is enabled, (even everything is enabled), all controllers, ports and devices. The point is that I also tried all possible settings, IDE, SATA, RAID AHCI?? and combinations (P-ATA Primary/Secondary), nothing helped!
Also I nowhere found any limitations, meaning e.g. 'you can not connect IDE devices to these ports IF YOU USE
Primary Ide, or SATA Drives AND .....
Pour 'BIOS settings' in the manual can't help. I was counting on my experiance and didn't solve the problem.
I sold few more same MBs, the guys don't need 9NOW) more IDE devices to connect, but what if someone ask me how to do it??!!
Is there a detailed BIOS settings in MSI, where can I get it, or I have to ask for? Is it a secret or things (settings and meanings) are so known that there is no need for it, only I missed something to learn ??!!??

  • Convert Colors RGB to CMYK something i don't understand.

    Hello!
    I'm still "fighting" with maximum TotalInk. There is the problem. Indesign have background and overlaying image with effect - Multiply. So it's extremely hard to avoid not exceed maximum ink. Indesign don't provide normal way to do it and i start to torture Acrobat for that. First step was create Postcript file then distille it to RGB and then convert by Acrobat X Pro (Print Production/Convert Colors).
    Theoreticly everything worked out fine. Black text stayed black (which is miracle) and images went to RGB and back to CMYK. BUT...and i don't understand why - Convert to Profile with Perceptual didn't converted it same way as Photoshop. It still got some points which exceed TotalInk (i used profile with maximum 300). AND image has drastic loss of quality! What did i do wrong? I tried to make Preflight new fix which do same thing and it worked - no exceeds of limit but still BAD quality! What did i miss?
    Thanks.
    P.S. If something isn't understandable please ask, i'll try to make my point more clear (english isn't my first language).

    The 'create album' button is identical to File>New From Selection>Album (Command-L).
    Oddly enough, this gives different behaviour from File>New>Album...
    In other words it makes a new Album with the entire Project's-worth of images in it only if you had nothing selected. It's an assumption on the part of the developers - you've asked for a new Album containing the selection, but nothing's selected - do you throw up an error message (like the one when only one Version is selected), or assume that the user wanted everything.
    Personally I think Aperture should throw up a dialog box to keep things consistent, but I can see the reasoning behind it. And as long as we've got menu items and keyboard shortcuts for both, I don't really care.

  • I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please?

    I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please, by the way the "L" doesn't appear in the bottom left hand corner either? and by the way how can I get rid of that irritating Blue badge saying "AutoFill your contact details" all mine are in "address book" already!

    You can't drag a transition into the canvas. If you're dragginmg a transition from the effects tab you drag it between the edit point of two clips in the timeline.
    Make sure show edit overlays is turned on in the Canvas view popup.

    Unless you tell us what it is telling you we can't help.

  • Don't understand "offline or missing files"

    I was using Lightroom and set a preference so that I could try to edit one of the photos in Photoshop elements.
    Now, when I open the folder that had that photo in it, ALL of the photos say offline or missing, even though the photo appears. If I right click on one of the subfolders and click "find missing files" it seems to find them in Photoshop Elements.  When I choose Photoshop Elements, the folder just disappears! If I open Photoshop Elements, there is nothing there.  I just don't understand!!  I find Lightroom 3 very frustrating.

    Once imported to LR, you must not move or rename any image-file except from within LR. What you see in the LR library is the cached preview. If you have moved or renamed a file directly with the explorer, then the file shows as missing. With "find missing files" you can re-link the file from its new position to the LR library.
    What happens if you select "show in explorer"? Are the files there? With correct name?

  • Laptop-Vista-Moz Fifx won't work-says something about proxy server? Computer Challenged so I don't understand.

    I am computer challenged so I don't understand this. When I try to download Mozilla Firefox on my laptop it tells me that firefox uses a proxy server and won't complete the download. I don't like IE, and do like Mozilla Firefox and have used it for a long time on my desk top. If someone could tell me what to do to make it work I really would appreciate this.
    This is on a laptop, not this computer

    Are you trying to do this while on a corporate wifi or over home wifi/cellular?

  • Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

    Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
    The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple. 
    The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up.  Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power.  2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768.  Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad. 
    Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION.  THANK YOU

    If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:
    Xeon 4 core - E5.1620v2
    Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2
    Xeon 8 core - E5.1680v2
    Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
    I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
    My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
    I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT?  I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
    SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro      was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
    Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
    PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

  • I don't understand my EtreCheck report. What can I do to improve the speed of my Macbook 2010, which became very slow after upgrading to Yosemite?

    I just updated my Macbook (2010) to Yosemite, and it's become very slow. After searching through this community, I downloaded and run EtreCheck, but don't understand what the report means. Please could you help me with what I should do to improve my computer's speed, aside from upgrading my RAM? Thank you so much.

    I advise to reply to the one you want to reply to.
    You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
    I would like to add:
    you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
    Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
    It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
    The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
    You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

  • I don't understand the thing you call live bookmarks never used it, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address information when a reply has been made to the thread in question.

  • Slow Macbook Pro- please help, I don't understand previous advice.

    Hello all,
    I have a very slow Macbook Pro running on Lion 10.7.3.
    I looked up this problem on the forums before I sent this message but I didn't quite understand the advice. I have been on something called Disk Utility and Activity Monitor but don't really understand what I'm looking for. It seems a large percentage of my mac is 'idle' if that makes sense. Someone said to look at Page Out but I really don't understand what that means and what sort of numbers are normal.
    I do have some storage left so I don't think it could be that. A lot of my gigabytes seem to be taken up by movies and 'other'. I've tried deleted a load of videos but it hardly made a difference. I have Mac Mail and it seems very slow on my Macbook compared to on my Ipad and iphone. iCal is also very slow on here and it always takes a while to load internet pages. It isnt the wifi connection.
    Please help and bear in mind I am by no means a Mac whizz so you might have to talk in layman's terms!
    Thanks,
    Amy

    If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
    If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Step 2
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above, and select “kernel.log” from the file list. Post the dozen or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.

  • What is it with yield() that I don't understand?

    The following code starts a thread that awaits a notification that never comes. However, I was expecting the Foo main thread to enter the running state again sometime after it yields and print the last line "main running again", but not so. The program hangs and never execute main's last print statement.
    class Task extends Thread {
    Foo foo;
    Task (Foo syncOnThis) {
        foo = syncOnThis;
        @Override
        public void run () {
        synchronized (foo) {
            System.out.println("task has the foo lock.");
            try {
                System.out.println("task about to release lock.");
                foo.wait();
            } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
                System.err.println("task was interrupted.");
            System.out.println("task was notified!");
    public class Foo {
        private synchronized void notifier() {
            notifyAll();
            System.out.println("foo notified all");
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Foo foo = new Foo();
            Task alpha = new Task(foo);
            alpha.start();
        Thread.yield();
            try {
                Thread.sleep(500);
            } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
                System.out.println("Foo's sleep interrupted");
                System.out.println("main thread running again");
    }My understanding of yield() is that it offers to demote the current thread to the runnable state in order to allow other threads - in this case Task - to enter the running state. But once Task calls wait(), it also retreats from the running state and this is where I expect the main thread to become running again.
    If I swap yield() with something like
            try {
                Thread.sleep(500);
            } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
                System.out.println("Foo's sleep interrupted");
            }then it main does actually return to a running state and executes the last statement.

    I see.Do also note that yield seldom is used these days. You most likely have a bug in your implementation or design if you think you need to call yield, or you are executing on a really old VM or on an odd system.
    (The first versions of the Solaris VM didn't use round robin so you had to release the execution to avoid starvation.)

  • Don't understand Verizon policy from a business point of view

    I have a basic 2 line account with Verizon ( no smartphones) which I have had for years. I have had contracts renewed over and over when the contract expired. Now I am looking to upgrade to 2 smartphone plans but have 3 months left under my current contract. I was told I wasn't allowed to renew the contract while an existing contract is in place ( not even if the new plan is a larger plan) I did have the option to use EDGE to pay 20 per month for each phone, I thought it would be 20 per month until the old contract is up, kind of like a pro rate type of deal. But No, I had to pay 20 per month until the full 800 is paid in full..........but if I wait 3 months until my contract is up I can get the phones for nothing.
    So, I 'll wait 3 months, but in the meantime you can bet I will check out other carriers and see what they have to offer. I just don't understand why Verizon would risk losing a customer or customers over 3 months even if the customer wants to lock themselves in with a larger plan that only has 3 months to go on the older contract. Kind of like sports free agency, lock them in while you can, especially when it is benefitting the company in the long run.

    But you ask would that even make sense with the new car analogy? Yes it does make sense, especially when the new car will be completely free of charge in 3 months.
    What??? You have only 3 monthly payments left on your CURRENT car and you trade it in for a NEW car. You think if you make 3 payments after getting the NEW car it would be paid off in full??? Possibly if trading in a BMW and  getting a Honda Civic in exchange, otherwise you would have SEVERAL(years) payments before that car would be "completely free of charge".
    Funny, I've never seen a car dealership offer financing for new cars with a 3 month payback option. They are normally 36, 48, 60 and 72 months to pay off the financing. Never seen a 3 month financing deal. THOSE must be some pretty SUBSTANTIAL payments. Learn something new every day.

  • Sound sync problem I don't understand

    Hi. First post.
    I have video with audio from the camera captured into iMovie. I also have separate audio from the same event through a firewire mixer into garageband exported as aif. (One of these days I'll get it all working into final cut).
    My goal is to use the "firewire" audio with the video track. The video has a 10 minute gap in the middle, but the audio is continuous.
    So I synchronize at the beginning, no problem. I then cut the extra audio piece out of the middle, and synchronize the beginning of the second part, no problem.
    The first part is in perfect sync, beginning to end. But the second part goes increasingly out of sync the further into the timeline we go. I don't understand why the first part remains in perfect sync, but after cutting a little, the second part can't be sync'd up with the video track. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Howie

    I am using Final Cut Express to do the editing.
    The camera video/audio was captured from a Canon XHA1 in 4:3 SD mode into iMovie, and then exported to a quicktime movie, DV/DVCPRO-NTSC 48khz.
    The "high quality audio" was captured via firewire into garageband, edited for levels on different tracks, then exported to itunes, then converted to aif, 48khz.
    Both were imported into FCE. I rendered the audio for playback. I don't have any red lines in the sequence (I'm a beginner at FCE).
    The out of sync problem was not part of the original video clip. It is with the external firewire audio BUT only with the second part of the video... i.e. the second video clip from iMovie. The iMovie capture had two clips, exported together into the single quicktime movie that was imported into FCE.
    So maybe it has something to do with the two different video clips in iMovie... but I don't know what the difference could be.

  • Don't understand the workflow in e-commerce

    Is there a place to see the backend of an online store working, or to see how it's supposed to be set up? My previous experience with shipping cart systems is that once the order is placed, it gives you the ability to change the status of the order, from something like "processing" to "shipped" or maybe "In Progress". Once you change it to "Shipped", it updates the customer via email and it takes the order off any WIP reports.
    I setup the online store in a dummy company, and ordered something from it, using "COD" for payment, then I went to see how all that worked. I can't see anything that moves the order through the process to the end. It looks like that might be something I have to setup with workflows. Is that correct? If not, how does the order go from a new order to a shipped order?
    I'm sure it does it or can do it, I just don't understand the way it all works. A tutorial or demo would be great, but I haven't been able to locate one.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi,
    The order status is changed as explained here -> http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/order-status.html
    and payment is applied to the cash order as explained here -> http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/order-payments.html
    Hope that helps!
    Please let us know for any further assistance.

    Never seen this error before, but one thing that's wrong is
    the missing
    space between the attributes of the 'a' in line 125
    (shortened):
    <a href="javascript:; "onclick="var ...">
    Change it to
