Trivial Question of the Day: Default windows preferences

Hi,
When I open a new document in Text Edit, the window is quite small, so I have to resize it all the time, even re-opening one that I set up. I've noticed it with other stuff like Finder folders, for instance.
Is there a preference that sets these windows to full page? Again, this is not like saying my computer shows a question mark when I turn it on, but it's something I'd like to know. I asked this a while ago, but didn't get many substantial answers.
Thanks as always,
Allan (the Allan with no points!)

Allan,
Describing/predicting which size finder window you will see is not clear/obvious because the size you will observe depends upon which finder window was first to be opened and where/how it was opened. (What a mouthful that was)
Whenever I use the (+N) command the (my default Desktop) window opens in the size that I expect. Any subsequent folder opened from the Sidebar opens in the same sized (my default Desktop) window.
Any folder which is opened from the resulting (my default Desktop) window remembers the size that I have chosen for that window.
Opening a folder from the Dock results in a window of the size that I have previously chosen as the default for that specific window.
Clear as Mud?
Maybe someone can expound on my feeble attempt to explain the un-obvious.
;~)

Set the initial (default) window size

The default size of Pages (actually, of all the iWork apps) is smaller than I like and I repeatedly have to resize the window to a size I prefer. Is there any way to specify a new default window size for iWork apps?
Thanks.

One of my frequent answers:
You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them. Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version.
Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.
About the only thing you can’t set a template to do is remember to show invisibles & the window position. It is possible to get a template to show invisibles when opened, if you want. Save this document as a document then, in the Finder, change the extension from .pages to .template & put it in your My Templates folder in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.

Printers will not stay online throughout the day in Windows 8.1

I am a systems administrator at a Law Firm and our managing partners request was to upgrade all of our attorneys to a device that will allow them to have a laptop and a tablet all-in-one. So I recommended Windows 8 ultrabooks. We ended up getting
a mix of HP Elitebook Revolve and Sony Vaio Duo 13 ultrabooks, both with docking stations so that attorneys can continue using there desktop mouse and keyboard and monitors while at work, but can also undock and use there ultrabooks remotely.
Everything is working fine except for printing for some reason through out the day printers will go offline for no apparent reason. We've got a billing program called Equitrac on our machines that will auto bill our clients when we print documents
for that them, I figured that there was an issue with that so I uninstalled Equitrac and the problem still happened. Group Policy deploys our printers so I disabled this policy and I've uninstalled the printer drivers and re-installed them to see if
that works and printers will stay online for a short period of time and then they'll go offline again.
For a temporary fix right now I'm having to restart the Print Spooler service and the printers will come back online again. This works for a few hours and then printers will go offline again. I witnessed one of the ultrabooks showing the printers
being online up until the point when the attorney pressed print and then all of them immediately went offline. This isn't an occurrence on just 1 machine but is happening on probably 50% to 60% of them.
Our support staff use the same printers on Windows 7 and they never go offline. Is there something else that I can check on these Windows 8.1 Ultrabooks or is there a bug that still needs to be fixed from Microsoft?

Hi,
Based on my search, I found a KB that relate with Printer offline, you can refer to its solution for test.
This problem occurs if the computer has the following registry value configured when you set the printer to the Offline status:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\<print queue name>
Value: PrinterOnLine
Data: 0
However, this value is not deleted by the Localspl.dll file when the print queue is deleted. Therefore, when you add a print queue that has the same name as the old print queue, the new printer queue inherits the Offline status of the deleted print queue.
To resolve this issue, right-click the new print queue in the Printers and Faxes tool, and then clear the Use Printer Offline setting. This resets the registry key to the correct value. Alternatively, you can delete the registry key that is mentioned in
the "Cause" section after you delete a print queue but before you add a new print queue of the same name.
If problem persists, please refer to the link below about How to Fix “Printer Offline” Error in Windows.

Flash Professional Question: About the compiler error window

Sorry if this is the wrong forum however I was unable to post a question to the Flash Professional forum for some wierd reason. Basically my question is, when I get an error in my console in Flash Professional is there an elegant way of zooming to my intended editor, Flash Builder? The built in code viewer is useless and a hassle to use.

Launch the movie Flash Builder:
Run > Test Movie will launch in Flash Pro and give compile errors in Flash Builder
Run > Debug As.. will start a debug session (in browser or AIR) and you can debug it from Flash Builder (runtime errors, breakpoints, etc.)

Question of the day: Mac Storage on Windows environment.

Hi there
I have Windows environment (10 Servers & 100 Clients), and small Mac environment (10 Macs Clients without Mac Server) I have problem when Mac users put data on Windows Servers, so IT department decided to find a Mac Storage has the following features:
1-Can format it as HFS+.
2-Can Windows users access it.
3-Can manage it from Windows Server.
4-Can attach it to Tape Driver for backup or has any other backup solution.
5-Has RIAD System.
I know there are many administrators did this scenario (integration Mac Storage with Windows) so please any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Please elaborate on exactly what you mean by "connect to tape driver"
Of course you can use a tape drive with an Xserve. Most drives will require that you add a SCSI card to your Xserve, and for that the single best choice (compatibility and support from the company which is excellent) is Atto ( www.attotech.com ) although Apple sells their own card.
I believe it's a rebranded LSI - see http://preview.tinyurl.com/6bw4w5
At one time the Exabyte firewire-based tape drives were a decent option but their firewire (aka IEEE 1394) interface has proven problematic in terms of being less than robust when attached to an Intel Mac.
If not SCSI then definitely look at native Fibre based tape drives - but that's getting into higher price-bracket. Eg. http://store.apple.com/ussmb78313/search?find=Fibre+Tapew

Question about the Insignia 8: Windows 8.1 Tablet

Here is my situation. I currently have a 10.1" Gateway Netbook that seems like it's running on it's last leg. I bought it used originally and it's a 2009 model.
Today I was browsing BestBuy.com and I came across a 8" Insignia Tablet running Windows 8.1 and having an Intel Atom Processor. I read the specs and it says it has access to plug in a USB 2.0 device.
What I was wondering, is the USB 2.0 access through a dongle that connects to the Tablet itself? And another question I had was the way it charges. I was wondering if the charging mechanism plugs into the wall through the USB port that's on the tablet or if it's another jack that charges it. I was going to use it as a "Light desktop" replacement for my Bedroom to watch Youtube videos and play very very light games on it, etc. It looks like it's also energy efficient and it's similar in specs with the 32GB eMMC Solid State Drive that's on my HP Stream Laptop.
I'd want to use a stand for it, and also connect a USB 2.0 Hub just to be able to connect a wired keyboard and mouse.
Thanks to anyone for any insight you may have on this.

Hockeycanuckjc,
I actually have this tablet personally so I'd be happy to help you with how I got it to work.
Because the Insignia 8.1 tablet doesn't have a full USB port, you would need a dongle that converts micro-USB to USB in order for this to work. I actually picked up this guy one night after work and it solved my problem instantly:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-galaxy-micro-usb-to-usb-adapter/1688641.p?id=1219059709888&skuId...
Although it says it only works with Galaxy devices, I have gotten it to work on many different tablets and phones of varying brands and OSes, including the Insignia tablet. Although I personally haven't plugged in a USB hub to the extender, I don't think it will have any problems.
Hope this helps!

Question of the day: Best Portal integration strategy for CRM 7.0?

I would appreciate it if anyone can give me their feedback with the knowledge and background with the Portaland CRM WebUI integration based on the following options:
These are the available options for portal integration:
Option A: Initial Login to CRM WebUI, launch other functionalities from WebUI
     All users login through SAP CRM WebUI. Based on user portal roles, available applications are presented using WebUI transaction launcher to open up as new browser windows or within the content area of CRM WebUI
Option B: Initial Login to Portal, CRM and other applications launched from Portal
     CRM WebUI is setup as a full screen BSP iView. All users login once through SAP NW Portal. Based on user portal roles, available applications are presented. CRM, BI BOBJ, KM are launched in a separate browser windows. For SAP applications, there is SSO available.
Option C: Initial Login to Portal, CRM and other applications integrated into Portal
     All users login once through SAP NW Portal. CRM WebUI is integrated into the Portal content area, and navigation between CRM screens are handled through Portal links.
Business considerations:
1. Single-Sign-On (SSO): The proposed solution should provide an integrated sign on page that allows access to other CRM applications without the user logging in again.
2. Frontend navigation: All CRM applications used by business should be accessible from a single location. This should cater for future applications as well eg: AFLS. Ideally there should be a minimum number of windows that a user has to juggle.
3. Contextual usability: The related applications should be linked to CRM and launched where it is used to support business operations. If possible, the applications should launch with the particular CRM transaction/record to minimize time required to locate relevant information eg: integrated reporting
4. Standardized look and feel: The portal should not change the functionalities of standard CRM and should integrate well in terms of the look and feel of the product and NOL branding
Based on the following business considerations, would Option B a better solution in terms of integration with other CRM applications, integration with other SAP applications (BOBJ, KM), flexibility in integrating with other options, SSO, maintainability and scalabilit.
Thanks a lot,
Cecilia
Edited by: John Burton on Jan 20, 2010 1:38 PM

We did option B at our client for CRM 2007. The authetication works perfectly between SAP NW Portal, and SAP CRM. It was one day work with single BSP iView (I beleive).

Questions for the Day!

Hi all,
Well I got cracking on the books and I don't know if I am already getting fatigued, but there are a series of questions I want to ask to get this stuff under my belt.
First of all I a confused with method overloading and overriding.
I have come up with questions that seem relevant.
1.) Is Having multiple constructors in a class definition an example of overloading. I would say no, because only methods can be overloaded.
2.) If two methods have the same signature, does that mean they are overloaded. I would say they would be overridden.
3.) Is it possible to overload a method without involving the base class. I am confused with this one.
4.)Is it possible to override a method without involving a base class? Confused again.
Can someone point out some reasons for answers, since I want to understand?
Thanks,
mileinfive

Some definitions:
Overriding -
When a subclass defines a method with the same signature and name as a method in the parent class, but provides different logic in the body of the method. Here is an example of overriding:
class Parent {
   public void printAge() {
      System.out.println("I am old");
class Child extends Parent {
   public void printAge() {
       System.out.println("I am young");
}Now, say you have a Parent object named "p" and a Child object named "c", and you call the printAge() method of each one:
p.getAge();   // prints "I am old"
c.getAge();   // prints "I am young"...even though the Child is a subclass of Parent and it inherits the Parent class's getAge() method, by defining its own version of the method it is overridden.
Overloading -
In overloading, you provide more than one method with the same name, but each of these methods has a different signature. So that if you call the method of that name, the actual method that is executed depends on the arguments you pass to it.
public class NosePicker {
   public void pickNose() {
      System.out.println("What a boring nosepicker, no arguments.");
   public void pickNose(Int snots) {
      System.out.println("You picked " + snots + " snots!");
   public void pickNose(Int snots, Int times) {
      System.out.println("You are amazing! You picked "
                         + snots + " snots " + times
                         + "times!!!");
}Now with this class, a different method is called depending on what argument signature is given.
Make sense?

Last question for the day - Music Video

Hi,
I have been asked by a friend to do their music video for them. I understand while shooting they will be playing to the original recording but after a day of shooting and im back at my computer what is the best way to syc my clips to the master audio track? Is there a tutorial available on music video creating? I know I could sit there and bit by bit move the clip to match however I am hoping there is a tutorial on it some place on the net.
Thanks

Hi
Me just thinking
I would
• Make several full song recordings with my Camera (close-ups, full size etc.)
or use several Cameras (5 to 10 recordings)
Put the best Audio-uptake as a master Audio then add video clips to do the visual
part as rythmic and paced fast/slow enough to reflect the "Air" of the lyrics.
Know what I'm taking about - NO Not at all - just speculating.
(With several Cameras - all recording non-stop - this would be much easier in
FinalCut Pro and the MultiCamera function.)

Question of the day: In which Thread context does the main method run ?

let's say, you create a JFrame in the main method:
public static void main(String[] args)
new MyJFrame();
let's suppose, you construct the whole JFrame
inside the constructor, which contains a lot
of other Swing components, like JTree's and more.
AND the JFrame calls setVisible(true) in its
constructor.
-> According to my knowledge, this won't work
properly - it will function, BUT you will get one
or two quite big exceptions (which usually start
with a nullpointer exception, produced by the
PLAF, but the whole stacktrace shows, that the
the exception was thrown AND catched inside
the Swing objects.
Reason for this would be, that all operations
after the "setVisible(true)" statement must be
carried out in the eventdispatch thread, according
to Swing rules.
Now, as you can see by running the source below,
the main() method always is processed in special thread,
NOT the event dispatch thread - which produces the above behaviour.
My Question:
Wouldn't it have been easier to let the JVM
process the main() methods right in the
event dispatch thread ?
Or:
Why is the JVM designed to process the
main() method in a special thread and not
the Swing event dispatch thread ?
opinions?
Regards
JPlaz / SnowRaver
package Test1;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Frame1 extends JFrame
public Frame1( final String title, int position )
this.setSize(400,300);
this.setLocation(position,position);
this.setVisible(true);
if( SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread() )
System.out.println("Constructor of "+title+" is processed IN the event dispatch thread.");
else
System.out.println("Constructor of "+title+" is processed in ANOTHER than the event dispatch thread.");
public static void main(String[] args)
// First creation just from the startup thread context :
new Frame1("first Frame", 60);
// Now we let the second creation be done in the
// eventdispatch thread context for sure :
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable()
public void run()
new Frame1("second Frame",120);

Matt,
it's been so long, I don't have the full answer in my head.
This page on Adobe.com has an example that shows Flash 4
mouse stuff (I'm Mr
Vague today) when you scroll down. Your timelinme reference
will be
something like
TellTarget(_Root, gotoAndPlay(50))
Hopefully from that vagueness you can locate the right
answer.

Stupid Question of the Day: What is the name of your kernel library?

<Standard intro>
As information, I have been away from SAP and basis for about four years. Due to personnel changes, I'm now returning to it. During the interim, we upgraded from version 4.0B to "SAP R/3 ENTERPRISE 47X110" (according to the system information on SMP). We have some out-dated kernel issues and I am trying to work through them as best and as quickly as I can.
</Standard intro>
We have several different kernel libraries on our system. I'd like to know which ones I can delete so that I can prepare to upgrade from 6.20 to 6.40 (yeah, we are that far behind).
So, my question is:
For a particular instance, how do you tell which kernel library is currently applied?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

We have some errors occurring during our startup process.
I should mention that this system started out as an IBM RRR (Ready to Run) system many years ago. The RRR library still exists and is still used in some places and I am still trying to get all of the hooks out so that I can delete it completely.
In the meantime, if anyone from SAP is monitoring this forum, I would appreciate the source code for the R3INLPGM--pseudo code is fine if you don't want to release the real thing. I just need to know what it is doing because something is not right.
Thanks!
Robert

Last question of the day: java database?

can you recommend a fairly reliable (mature) database which is made with java and does not require database connection strings, but can be interacted with by using SQL statements.

Why do you want to avoid connection strings? What's
the problem with them?
Take a look at derby or hsqldb
Kajtoo much effort, presumably. should go far

Application defaults window annoyance

Hi everyone, since installing the FCS2 suite I have had the most annoying problem. The Application defaults window keeps appearing multiple times on startup, also when telling the app to hide, and sometimes on quit.
This happens regardless of wether the 'show on startup' tickbox is ticked or not.
The only logical thing I can think of is that DVDSP has a problem with it's preferences.
Anybody experiencing similar?

Here's the dumb question of the day right here..
My Droid X is on its way to me for delivery. Should I immedietely download the upgrade once I activate the phone before doing anything? Probably makes the most sense to do that... then I can start 100% fresh with it..

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

The registry method does not work with 8.1. I found this out the hard way. Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.
