Toggle Play and Resume System Variables with Keyboard Shortcut

Hey Folks,
In many popular video applications (YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu, etc), the Spacebar is used to Play (and then) Pause the movie and I want my project to stay consistent with this.
I'd like to have a single keyboard shortcut (maybe to a hidden button on a Master Slide) that,Plays or Pauses (depending on what is happening) a slide video (or the entire project really), and I want that shortcut to be the Spacebar.
I will be having slide videos (user clicks an Image to go to a slide video, not event video). Playbar will be visible during this time.
In trying to accomplish this, I see that cpCmndPause is an available System Variable. I would assume cpCmndResume is the counterpart to that, or is cpCmndPause=0 the counterpart?
Anyone have an idea how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Tom

Spacebar cannot be assigned as a shortcut key. probably because it will be reclaimed by browser. The toggle part is easier.

Insert variable with keyboard shortcut

The only keyboard shortcut I can find to insert a variable is CTRL-0. This colors the left side
of the status bar and gives you the entire list of user variables with -- with "Not Applicable" as the
highlighted choice. It appears that you have to traverse the list with the mouse pointer and
click on the desired variable.
This is just as cumbersome as calling up the variables pod and double clicking on the
variable you want.
Is there a way to define a keyboard shortcut to insert a particular variable?
Cheers,
JP

I just updated to 10.0.2 and the behavior is the same.
I can't tell you the version number I had been running because I couldn't find an "About" button.
I thought that FM checked for updates when I installed it from a 10.0 CD. Applications typically check
for available updates when you install and register and let you choose whether to update.
So Adobe doesn't inform you of new FM updates either?
I really appreciate the help I get from this forum. Even though the update installation didn't
say I had to reboot, I'll try that and let you know whether that changes the behavior.
I'd reboot and check right now except that I have a gazillion things open while I work on
the client's document.
But it's not a life-or-death situation. I may even retain my sanity while trying to figure this out...
Thanks again,
JP

@variable and Operating system variables (Windows environment variables)

Hi,
Has anyone experience with using @variable and Operating system variables (Windows environment variables)in XI 3.x Web Intelligence ?
Help gives the example of @Variable(NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS). Even with syntax correction @Variable('NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS') it does not seem to work.
It works fine for Desktop Intelligence. Environment variables added are read, after restarting DeskI. If already in an existing DeskI session, newly added (unknown) variable names give a prompt with the variable as prompt text as a result. This is the behavior in Web Intelligence, even for environment variables that are always set (like Path, TMP, ...)
Both WebI Rich Client and WebI via Infoview in XI 3.1 and XI 3.1 SP2 show this behavior (prompt instead of @variable behavior)
Are there settings that need to be made? other syntax ?
Is this a DeskI only feature ?
Thanks!
Raf

Hi Abdellatif,
Ok, that would clarify things.
You have an idea if this is documented somewhere?
Reason we ask:the "xi3-1_designer_en" guide, the specification for the @variable function states:
"BusinessObjects system variables. ...
Report variables. ...
Operating system variables. You can enter Windows environment variables in order to obtain information about your installation.
Custom variables. With Desktop Intelligence, you can use a predefined text file to provide a list of fixed variable values."
There's no explicit referal to DeskI only for OS system variables, like there is for custom variables.
Thanks!

Thank you ... This is important info and get some images the last version in STS working in web mode, for my client buy the product.

Hi Bala ,
Yes you can use the STS for BI IP also and you need to configure the Planning level and sub plan area and follow the steps to set up STS.
STS still has BPS flavour and can be used in IP.
Hope this helps

My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing! I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not.
Anyone else feel me on this?
any help?

Well that still didn't make any kind of difference. I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long. I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid. Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

Keynote problems with keyboard shortcuts

Is anyone having problems with keyboard shortcuts not working with Keynote? Had this problem (and a host of others) since the upgrade to Mavericks and the latest Keynote.

Hello,
I can replicate all by problem number 1. Once the PDF loads, I can use the arrow keys to scroll up/down. All of the other problems you mentioned haven't been implemented.
You're certainly welcome to send feedback to Apple, though!

Problem with keyboard shortcut for font size in CC photoshop. The incriments sometimes work, i.e it goes 1 points at the time, but sometimes it goes 10 or even 20 points at the time. It seems to be very random. Any thoughts?

When icloud drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.

When iCloud Drive is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.
ANyone found a solution to this?
I Have tried it several times and when tured off iCloud Drive and tested the shortcuts on an email, all was working ok...turning icloud drive on again and again the keyboard shortcuts stoped working. Solutions?

Hi Susana,
I have a similar problem: when updating to iOS 8 my iPhone 5 the shortcuts disappeared and more over the keyboard often gets stuck. When repeatedly turning off iCloud drive the shortcuts are present again and the keyboard works as it should. A factory reset of my iPhone was not successful.
The only "workaround" seems to turn off iCloud drive, however, this is of course no solution at all.
Since reports on keyboard malfunctions are rather rare in this community, I think, you and I are using some special settings or apps which cause this problem.

KT4V doesn't resume from S3 with Keyboard/Mouse

Hi there,
I have a problem with a KT4V, I can get into S3 state without problem and resume by using the power switch.
However, it refuses to resume using the keyboard. I have tried setting the "wake from keyboard" option in the bios to any key or to a specific key with no luck. ACPI is ON, APM is on, the bios settings are otherwise unchanged from their default config.
I'm using a "no brand" PS2 keyboard, which has a "sleep" and "wake" buttons, and the "sleep" button works fine. I have tried with other keyboards (mistubishi...) with the same result. My mouse is a MS intellimouse optical on the PS2 port. The light at the tail of the mouse is off while in S3 state.
My config is pretty standard: Windows XP SP1, GForce2MX, 512MB, Athlon 2100+... the box is otherwise stable and good.
ok, you might say I'm being picky, but the case is under the desk and behind some casing, and it's a bit of a pain to access the power switch :-)
Thanks
eric

Bet you have a power supply unit, too.
When or how did the trouble start?
Well, I have 2 of them. The main is Thermaltake PurePower 750W and the auxiliary (powering drives and case fans) is Hiper Type-R 480W in 3R Systems R900 chassis.
The problem is there from the start and the same setup (except for motherboard) worked perfectly with Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard.
I've recently tried Vista x64 - with the same symptoms.

Need to play and stop sound file with 1 ms resolution

Hi,
I'm trying to open a .wav file then later play it at a time when another parallel loop activates a boolean local variable which controls playback in my "sound" loop. I need high time resolution in stopping the playing of the .wav file, ~1ms. From what I've gathered, I can't use the "sound output write.vi" because it locks the loop until it finishes outputting a set number of samples. Because of this, "sound output stop.vi" has to wait until the next iteration, which is more than ~1 ms.
In the help menu of the Sound Ouput VIs it says you can set the task ID for the "sound output start.vi" using the "sound output configure.vi." Unfortunately I've only been able to use the "sound output start.vi" following "play sound file.vi", and I don't really know why this is the case.
I can't start my sound with the "play sound file.vi" because it locks the loop its in until it finishes playing the sound. Oddly this only happens when there is a parallel loop running, if I run it by itself, with no other loops, it doesn't lock the loop. I thought it might have something to do with the local variable, but the loop doesn't lock when the loop restarts the sound using the "sound output start.vi."
After opening a .wav file, can i use the "sound output configure.vi" to create a task ID for the "sound output start.vi" to work? Or do I have to use the "sound output write.vi" after calling the "sound output configure.vi." The help menu makes it seem like the prior suggestion is possible.
Thanks a lot!

Since it sounds like the problem you're running into is getting the data loaded from the file before you're ready to play it, look at the Files sub-palette, specifically the Sound File Read Simple VI. You can use this VI to load the data into a waveform and have it ready for use later in the program.
So in your overall program, read the file with Sound File Read Simple and configure the output with Sound Output Configure and call Sound Output Write when you're ready to play the waveform.

TS1424 When I click to play my songs in the library they will not play and show a circle with an exclamation point in the middle of it, what does that mean and how can I get them to play?

When I click to pay my songs in the library they will not play and it shows a circle with an exclamation point within it. What does that mean, how do I fix it, and how will it play my songs again? They used to play before on my Iphone4 with no problem, but since I upgraded to the Iphone4s there is an issue.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

I am running OSX 10.6.8

To share either select the link (paperclip) icon on the right of the file or folder list.
Cut and paste the link into an email you send your friends. Do not use the "share this" option in Dropbox as it forces them to join.
You can test it after deleting your browser cache and cookies - you will no longer be signed in to Dropbox but the link should work fine.
Hope this helps !

Suspend and resume only works with fallback image

I get a black screen on suspend and resume with pm-utils after I boot with main kernel image.
However, fallback image works fine.
I'd like to figure out what's missing in the main kernel image.
lsmod looks the same with both images.
How should I proceed?

you are my hero...before I read this post I could never resume my laptop running Arch no matter what quirks I tried. That's actually why I've been running Fedora - resume worked. In fact, resume works on every other distro I've tried.
As far as an ACPI update being to blame, I've had problems resuming in Arch for over a year, although I can't go back in time to try the fallback and see if it works
When I get some spare time, I'll copy the mkinitcpio config for fallback to the main config and start removing modules / hooks to see which one breaks it
EDIT: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26.fallback no longer exists - it just uses autodetect. Also, the loaded modules are the same no matter which image was used to boot, so I'm stumped. Maybe somebody who knows more about that mkinitcpio does can shed some light

Turning on/off airport with keyboard shortcuts

i read about a method, in a book, to toggle airport on and off by inventing a shortcut for it. i think it was something like system preferences>keyboard and mouse>keyboard shortcuts>+. the book said type the command exactly as it appears in the menu bar, so in this case, Turn AirPort On, and then you designate the shortcut, by pressing the desired keys. ive done that and they show up in the top right drop down menu, but when i press the keys the shortcut doesnt work. can anybody think what i am doing wrong?

hi guys, sorry for the late reply. i was looking for the page reference to the book i found the shortcut instructions in. im fairly sure it was from the rough guide to osx, which i bought at an applestore in london about two weeks ago; it is the only osx book i have. it was either from there or from some random website. i guess ill just forget it, i wanted it for battery management, so you can turn the airport on and off to save the battery, and its kind of annoying to keep using the dropdown menu for that.
anyway, thanks alot for taking the time to reply. do you think if anybody wrote to apple about the fact that it might be a bug, they would take any notice?
