Starting up without spaces flying around

I have 4 spaces. ichat and skype are automaticly started in 4th space, Mail in 2nd while logging in.
is there a way to start up leopard, so that the screen would be focused and stayed in first space, and it would not jump from space to space where the programs are being auto started?
it would be also very useful to know how to auto start dashboard without actually showing it on the screen at that time. checking the "hide" box in login items settings does not work.

I don’t think there is a way to prevent Spaces from going to its assigned Space to start each application at startup.
I have 10 applications that open at startup and I’ll admit it was a somewhat dizzying effect the first few times. But it only takes about a minute to finish opening them. You could try looking away, starting your screensaver, or going to get a cup of coffee while it starts up.
As for Dashboard, it doesn’t have a hide function. Either it is active or it is not. Opening it at startup serves no purpose if you don’t want to use it immediately after startup. Press the F3 function key when you want it and click outside a widget when you don’t.

  • How can I load pics from camera without spaces in the filename (PSE5)

    Hello,
    I want to load the pics from my Fuji Camera with my newly acquired Photoshop Elements 5 into its database as simple as possible. I get offered several ways of renaming the pics during the import. Unfortunately the date formats offered (for folder or filenames) do *all* include space characters " ", which I do not like, because this caused me earlier a lot of trouble when putting the pics online, for example (%20 in the path name). Another reason is my existing photo collection since 2001, which has no spaces in the filenames as well.
    Example for the filename:
    PSE offers: "jj mm dd 001.jpg"
    I want : "jjmmdd_001.jpg" or at least "jj_mm_dd_001.jpg" or anything similar.
    For folder names the same thing appears.
    Is there a way to do that without typing each date without spaces by hand?
    How?
    I would like to have the photo load process as simple as possible, without having to remove the spaces with a separate rename tool.
    Any ideas?
    I searched for quite a while and I am surprised that nobody else seems to have this problem. Am I just too picky?
    Thank for any help.
    Greetings from Germany,
    Ulrich

    Ken,<br />again thanks for your writing.<br /><br />IMHO, if PSE had space free filenames, this would lead to a very simple and fast workflow with PSE alone (!) like this:<br /><br />1. Just connect my camera (Fuji F31fd) with the USB cable (no fiddling with the memory card in and out each time)<br />2. Transferring all (or selected) pics into PSE, one folder per day, named yymmdd_optional_theme_description.<br />3. Delete all non-optimal pics after viewing in PSE. Then tagging, pic-improving where needed ....<br />4. As backup, burn/move to CD from time to time and copy/move to an external HDD for double security.<br /><br />Its just the spaces in the filenames which prevents me from using this. I want to have the workflow well defined and fixed before I start using PSE5. <br />But it seems there is no workaround (so far).<br /><br />Maybe I should just take the "trouble" and rename every folder manually within PSE. No problem with one or 2 days, and still not a very big problem after a 3 week holiday. But still all single photo files will have the spaces in them. If I want to avoid that, I really have to bring them to the PC without PSE, rename them as batch with Irfan or any other tool, and then import them to PSE, as you wrote. From my point of view, a lot of unnecessary hassle, especially if I have the simple workflow from above in mind.<br /><br />Many people seem not to be disturbed by the spaces in the filenames. I wonder if I overrate the disadvantage of it. Your opinion(s)?<br /><br />I am not sure what you mean with<br /><Perhaps Ulrich would be well served if he created a collection of newly acquired pictures with a common theme.><br /><br />In fact I want to come away from theme centered archiving the photos, which is what I did so far. I learned this from the article <br />http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1018&message=26366116 <br />and the following one from Arrowman. I won't follow all what he wrote *in detail*, but most ideas seem to be good. The PSE tagging should do the theme-related searches.<br /><br />Greetings,<br />Ulrich

  • Fast-Start Failover - Without Observer

    Hello Experts,
    I have a 3 node RCA with a 3node standby. Manual complete failover and switchover work correctly. I would like to enablr fast-start failover when nobody is around.
    I know that according to the documentation, I would need a 3rd server to act like the observer. But I 've run out of servers.
    Could someone provide clues or ideas how I could set this up. Do I indeed need an observer, or is it really just for additional fault tolerance?
    Sincerely

  • Select a Folder/File starting with a Space via Keyboard

    I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and I am having problems selecting a folder/file that starts with a space in the finder and in open/save. The problem is that it activates QuickView. In Leopard (10.5) you could override QuickView (in the Finder) by pressing the Option Key and the space bar at the same time and then pressing the next letter in the folder name. This action now open QuickView in Fullscreen mode. I have tried other key combos without success.
    Thanks for any help.

    I have tried other key combos without success.
    OS X Help has this to say about that:
    -=-=-=-
    Creating keyboard shortcuts for applications
    You can assign your own keyboard shortcuts to menu commands in any Mac OS X application or in the Finder. This may be useful if, for example, one of the “global” shortcuts, which works the same in most applications, is used by one application for a different purpose. In this case, you can assign it a different key combination.
    You can create keyboard shortcuts only for existing menu commands. You can’t define keyboard shortcuts for general purpose tasks such as opening an application or switching between applications.
    To create a keyboard shortcut for an application:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Keyboard.
    Click Keyboard Shortcuts, and then click the Add button.
    Choose an application from the Application pop-up menu. If you want to set the same key combination for a menu command that appears in many applications, choose All Applications.
    If the application you want to select does not appear in the list, choose Other and locate the application using the Open dialog. Some applications may not allow you to set keyboard shortcuts.
    Type the menu command for which you want to set a keyboard shortcut in the Menu Title field.
    You must type the command exactly as it appears in the application menu, including ellipses and any other punctuation. An ellipsis is a special character that looks like three periods. To type an ellipsis, press Option-semicolon, or use the Character Viewer. It may be difficult to know whether the command is written in the menu with a real ellipsis or with three periods, so if one does not work, try the other.
    Click in the Keyboard Shortcut field and press the key combination that you want to assign to the menu command, and then click Add.
    You cannot use each type of key (for example, a letter key) more than once in a key combination.
    Quit the application for which you added or changed a keyboard shortcut.
    Restart the application to see the keyboard shortcut in the application’s menu.
    If you assign a keyboard shortcut that already exists for another command or another application, your new shortcut won’t work. Find the menu command that’s using it and reassign the keyboard shortcut for that item.
    To remove a customized shortcut, click the Delete (–) button.

  • Java Web Start 1.6 fails to start application without Java Consol on Vista

    Hi All,
    I've faced with problem related to starting my application in IE 7 on Vista SP1 using Java Web Start (JRE 1.6.0_12 and 1.6.0_13). I suppose that issue appears after 11th update of JRE 1.6 since it works fine before.
    There were set settings to indicate initial and maximal size of the Java heap in the JNLP file.
    Application consist of 2 JAR files and they are signed with the same certificate.
    When user tried to start application there is no any activity after accepting certificate. After starting application javaw.exe just disappeared from processes list without any message or error.
    When I changed default setting in Java Control Panel to show Java Console, I noticed that the application began to start. But it's not a solution of the issue, since all customers cannot be required to turn on Java console.
    I believe this is a bug in JRE as the application starts with Java console and doesn't without it.
    When I browsed the web looking for the solution or an advice I found Release notes for 1.6.0_014 where it was said that 6u14 Java Web Start failed to launch and notifies that JARs were not signed, if an insecure Java system property was specified in a sandbox JNLP file. In spite of that 14th updated wasn't used and there was no notification I tried to start application without settings for the Java heap and it worked.
    Could someone help me with advice, since the application cannot be started with default heap size settings.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    as the 6u15 just arrived and the above mentioned bug should've been fixed (though I was unable to verify through the release notes), the error is still in there.
    We have no timestamped jars, neither ours nor the bouncy castle ones, all certs are valid, ours is self signed.
    6u13 runs, 6u14/6u15 won't.
    I followed the instructions here: http://bouncycastle.org/devmailarchive/msg10415.html to no avail.
    The bcprov.jar is wrapped in its own jnlp and referred as extension from the "main" jnlp.
    The interesting parts of the stack trace are these:
    Caused by (via getCause): java.lang.SecurityException: JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC
         at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
         at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
    Caused by (via getCause): java.util.jar.JarException: Cannot parse https://localhost:8443/deploy/bcprov.jar

         at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
         at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
    For me it seems there's a problem with resolving the url of the bcprov.jar, which would explain the lack of a delay which normally occurs when JCE verifies the signature of the bcprov provider classes. The error pops up almost instantly.
    I'm clueless what to do now. Did Sun really achieve to completely destroy JCE provider functionality in Javaws, forcing us to use an alternative implementation?

  • Can we create a Portal without Spaces using JDeveloper ?

    Hi
    Is it possible to have Portal without Webcenter Spaces (collaboration) component for WebCenter but I do require a portal with the Administration functionality found in the WL_Spaces managed Server. For instance, securing pages/portlets, LDAP/OAM integration, exchange integration, UCM integration, configuration with WSRP portlets on WL_Portlet and analytics configuration with WL_Utiltiies. Can we create a new portal (one without Spaces) using JDeveloper and create a managed server?
    Cheers
    Khad

    Yes you can!
    WebCenter is more than just WebCenter Spaces.
    WebCenter Spaces is just one part, another part is the WebCenter Portal which is an application in JDeveloper. You might want to read my tutorial: http://www.yonaweb.be/webcenter_tutorial/introduction it explains how to build such a portal.
    All the connections you make in the enterprise manager, can also be configured in JDeveloper so you can also use UCM, mail server, portlets and so on in WebCenter Portal application in JDeveloper.
    It is common practice to create a new managed server on your domain to deploy the custom WebCenter Portal application. You can also manage the connections to the different service from within the enterprise manager, just as you do with spaces.

  • How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track?

    How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track? Thanks.

    What exactly are you trying to do? You can drag any region by grabbing it in the middle of the upper area with the highlighted name of the region. However, if you move it towards the end of the track, the length of the track will get longer, to accommodate the extra part of the region. DO you want to speed up the region, to shorten it or do you want to trim it? You can simply grab the right margin of the region and drag it, to make the region shorter.

  • Start Buffering Without Autoplay

    Hello, I'm trying to get my video player to start buffering without also auto-playing. Basically, I want the player to start buffering the video asap, so that, hopefully, by the time they hit the play button, it's buffered enough for them to start watching. I've seen some posts that mention a play-pause sequence, which I do, and that makes it start buffering. The only issue is that eventually causes the TimeEvent.COMPLETE event to fire, which is how I'm determining if the video has finished playing. I tried putting a seek(0) after the pause, but that throws an illegal operation exception; apparently the player can't yet seek. If I wrap the play-pause sequence in an if that checks canSeek, it never gets called. Is there a better way to be doing any part of this process? Is the TimeEvent.COMPLETE event not the right thing to be using to determine if the player has finished playing? Is there an autoBuffer flag that I'm just missing?
    Shaun

    So I discovered another issue I was having: it was calling the play-pause sequence multiple times, which seems like a bad idea. It's not just calling it once, but it never gets into the play state. This is the code I have for the play-pause sequence:
    if (player.canPlay && player.canPause && !hasPlayPaused) {
         hasPlayPaused = true;
         trace(">>> play-pause start");
         var v:Number = player.volume;
         player.volume = 0;
         player.play();     player.pause();
         //player.seek(0);     player.volume = v;
         trace(">>> play-pause done");}
    And this is the output:
    >>> play-pause start
    >>> 0: paused
    >>> play-pause done
    It's only changing its state once. If I then hit play, the state change event doesn't fire, but it does start to play. Same when I then hit pause. The next time I hit play it does fire, though. I have the play-pause sequence in a timer, because I couldn't find an event that allowed it to happen. The canPlay event never fired. Any insights given this information? I feel like I'm probably doing something terribly wrong.

  • PSE7: Naming scheme for import without spaces?

    Hi all,
    just upgraded to photoshop elements 7 (from 2 :-) ) and have a question on the naming schemes available to put imported photos into subfolders named by date: The offered options in the drop down (Photo downloader - Create Subfolders by date) all include spaces between year month and day values. Up to now my format was yyyymmdd (all without spaces) and the newly created folders would not sort properly anymore.
    So is there a way to have PSE7 create subfolders based on the date WITHOUT the spaces. I had a trial version of Lightroom 2 and there it is possible, however Lightroom is much to "big" for my needs.
    Thanks for any hints,
    Peter

    Unfortunately, the options you get are the ones you see in the drop-down.
