Wasted space in chat window

I got the 7.2.0.103 upgrade this morning..
what's with the silly polka-dot column on the right side of the chat window?  Is there some slight-of-hand to get rid of it??  I want to maximize the width of the chat window, but after I make it more than about 2 inches wide... the polka-dots get added.... yuck.

Looks like you are right, camickr -- The default wrapped tab layout policy must be leaving extra space for wrapping the tabs. When I switch to SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT the wasted space disappears. I had originally assumed that the panel would simply grow in size when it needs to wrap tabs, but apparently it's doesn't work like that. For the particular instance where it was troubling me, I'll just switch to the scroll tab layout. Thanks.

  • HT2498 If I use camera window to download my pictures to my computer, and then I copy and paste the pictures to iPhoto. Would I be ending up having the same pictures in two different files in my computer, and so wasting space in my hard drive?

    I recently bought a canon camera. The instructions of the camara recommend to use the canon software (camara window) to download pictures to my computer.  I would like to have my pictures in i-photo because it syncs them to my ipad.
    I want to download the pictures from my camera to camara window, and then drag and drop the pictures to i-photo. If I keep my pictures in both programs would I be wasting space in my computer hard drive by having the same pictures in two different files?

    Yes.
    Ignore the Canon software. It gains you nothing and adds complexity. Just use iPhoto for the lot.

  • WIM - Chat window space --- Do we have any limit?

    Hi folks,
    I try to install WIM for the client, and they wonder whether there is any limit on chat window space. Does anyone know what limits chat window may have?
    Thanks a lot

    There is setting "Chat - Agent Chat Message Maximum Length" at Department settings group, you can Use this setting to determine the maximum length of messages sent by agents to customers.
    Setting "Chat - Automatic Session Closure Interval (Seconds)" defines maximum how long chat can stay on. By default it is 4 hrs.
    Chat window is only one, agent has to switch between the assigned chats. chat reply pane is used for the chat which agent has selected in the inbox at that time. Agent can be assigned multiple chats. Setting "Chat - User Max Load" defines maximum chat activities that can be assigned to a user at a given moment. When an agent reaches the maximum number, new chats cannot be assigned to the agent.

  • I would like to know what data represents the yellow "Other" in the Data Distribution Window on the Summary page of the iPad. It varies between a low of 1.50 GB to as much 5 GB. It seems to me that this is wasted space. Any ideas?

    I would like to know what data represents the yellow "Other" in the Data Distribution Window on the Summary page of the iPad. It varies between a low of 1.50 GB to as much 5 GB. It seems to me that this is wasted space. Any ideas?

    I have observed my "Other" data increases in size after I deleted a video. My Other data once get to 18GB, yes eighteen.
    It seems like the only way to control this mysterious "Other" data is restoring the iPad to its manufacture configuration. Restore it to a previous back up doesn't help either.  Once in a while is ok, but several times a month is a pain.
    After the last restore (to manufacture), my other immediately jump to 0.4GB and seems to hold at 0.65GB.
    Looks more and more like a bug in iOs.

  • Printing Docs - how to get rid of 3 inch wasted space on right side of page

    I tried to print out : Communicating With Objects
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaFunda mentals/CommunicatingWithObjects/CommunicateWithObjects.html
    After trying several different settings and printed only the first page until I got the print more or less the way I wanted it, however...
    I have a standard HP Color Laserjet 2600n, looked at all the printing preferences, and all four margins are set at (.25 inch), yet when the pages print out there are about 2.5 inches of wasted space on the left side. The space is there for the Table of Contents, but there is nothing printed there, the space is blank.
    So I clicked on the Table of Contents header, so the TOC became hidden and the window only contained the text and images, then when I tried to print, I found that now there were about 3 inches of white space on each page on the right hand side. This is somewhere around a 40% waste in paper, trees, etc.
    One would think that expensive as printing is, there would be a way to save paper by optimizing coverage on each page as much as possible.
    Another curious thing is that the size of the text on the screen is easy to read at Safari normal (default) settings, yet when the first page is printed the text is really small.
    In order to get the size of the print on the paper to be easily readable, I had to click on the large [a][A] at the top of the Safari window twice (+ 2 sizes). The text on the window was fairly large, but the print became easy to read. There was still an excessive amount of wasted space, which just goes against the grain...
    Does anybody have a clue how to get rid of all the wasted space on each page ? There has to a simple way, this is 2010 and we've been doing this for 25+ years now.
    I am sure it is something simple that I am overlooking ? I'd be grateful for any help.

  • Useless chat window in skype 6.18 with coloured b...

    WTH is this on new Skype with the chat window and coloured boxes you can only see about 3 posts at a time. How can I get the normal chat text back?
    and the supid profile picture in the chat window too. Oh this is too much now Skype is just getting ridiculous

    Thanks for the link to the earlier version of Skype, version 7.0 is just bl**dy awful. I simply do not understand MS, they seem to be hell bent on destroying Skype which, until MS took over, was a nice simple slick program to use. I think there may be a great many profssional users like me that want to throw up with all this 'social media' bulldust and what seems to be a 'dumbing down' of the application (this also applies to the latest incarnation of 'hotmail', yuck). Sometimes I feel that MS think all their users are morons that need their hands held all the time!!!
    Version 7 stuck pictures again my contacts list, at a stroke leaving only 30% of my contacts visible. Oh yes you can turn the pictures off (thank goodness) BUT the space the pictures took up remains so my list was STILL showing only 30% as many names as it did. Then there is the appalling colour scheme in the chat window. The pale shade of blue made it pretty near impossible to see the date stamp at the right!  MUCH happier with the older version 6 back in place, I still prefer version 5 but MS won't allow that to run
    Needless to say this time I have made certain that automatic updates are off!!

  • 50 gigs of wasted space on VU32 X61

    I have X61 with Vista ultimate 32 with 3 gigs ram and upgraded processor.
    When I first got this computer, it had fatal errors resulting in 3 full reinstalls.  Actually, lenovo had sent me CDs for the wrong computer initially and only later sent me recovery DVDs for VU32.  However, the third and last time that I needed to do this--approximately a year ago, i realized that it no longer even asked me for DVDs when reformatting through thinkpad R&R...it is all saved onto hard drive.  So I have like 50 gigs of wasted space on a 160 gig 7200 rpm hard drive.  The only partition is the 5 gig one that was initially there.
    So...all to ask: is there any way of opening up this space and deleting windows install files as it seems to be working these days.  Or is this Vista's insurance policy--making me prepared for a possible fatal crash in the future?
    HELP!

  • Chat window stuck in minimize mode

    I have a chat window that is stuck in minimize mode, unable to exit the window. Red window appears when receiving messages from buddy but cannot maximize the window. I have restarted my computer, force quit my iChat and every time I sign on that window is still minimized. Also I have tried deleting the buddy from my buddy list and adding them, that also did not work.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    I am a little confused as to what you mean.
    An Invite window will resolve in to a Chat window.
    A Window that is open will show up the next time iChat is Opened in the place you left it.
    However I have not heard of a Invite window staying on Screen and not being able to Dismiss it.
    Now there are some things that might explain it.
    Any Outgoing Chat window will always occupy the space it was last in when you sent an Invite and had a chat.
    This can mean your Video Chat one appears near where your camera is so it appears you are looking at the camera.
    A Text chat one can be dragged so low that the Text field is off the bottom of the Screen.
    This can mean you cannot reach the bottom right hand corner to resize it.
    You may have dragged it so low that it is hidden by the DOCK and you cannot now grab the top bar and pull it out. (Leopard will not let you do this and if Dock Hiding was On will move it upwards if the DOCK Hiding is turned Off - I cannot check Snow Leopard at the moment but expect it is the same)
    If none of these covers what you have then delete com.apple.iChat.plist found in your Home Folder (Little House icon)/Library/Preferences and then restart iChat.
    Amongst other things it will return Windows to their Default positions.
    You will lose any settings made in the iChat Preferences that have been changed from Default (Font, Colour, Background to IM colour, Alert Sounds, Saved Transcripts etc.) and Saved Status Messages.

  • Chat window in Version 7.0 too large

    Hello,
    I just got upgraded to Version 7.0 and the chat window is way to big and cannot be made any smaller. Even when I split the view and choose compact view (with the latter not really making any difference whatsoever) it is still too big for my needs. Plus when I split the view I have a 2nd Icon on the taskbar which bothers me.
    Is there no way to just blend the contact list in and out of view by clicking on some arrow or mimimizing the width to about 1/3 of the "normal" smallest width? This is eating up too much space on my screen and looks ugly on top. The add window on top of the chat and the area with the contact info of my chat partner are also too big, at least the latter should be able to be reduced to 1 or two lines - I know with whom I am speaking.
    It feels to me that whoever designed this had only touchsceen users or big monitors in mind. I have attached a screenshot from another program where I need less than a quarter of the space on my screen to give an Idea of what I am looking for.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    In split view, the chat window can be resized just hold your mouse in any corner of the window. The second item on your taskbar is your chat window (skype should be in systray so you really should only have one), you will have one for each conversation (if that is what you choose in settings, i assume you do not have a std Vista/w7 taskbar, in that case it will be only one for all of them).
    Yes the font for Contact name is laughtable large (they will fix this is my guess). In split view, you just close Skype and the contact list will goto systray, along with skype itself, doubbleclick brings it back up.
    You can also select compact view (not sure of the exact wording here) for the contact list under Viev in skype main window.

  • Re: settings -- how to reduce waste space at top of page to one line only

    I find that the wide screens are too short so it seems like more scolling is needed since less of web page is viewable and this problem is made worse by waste space taken up by various lines - for example on my firefox page, there is a blue line at the top that currently says "ask a question" Firefox help etc and then the rest of the line is blank -- about 70% of space not used/needed
    The second line down shows: File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help -- then about 70%waste space -- rest of line is blank -- How can we put stuff from various lines into one or two lines Max ?
    To continue, in my case, the next line has a couple of tabs -- this is useful -- maybe if there could be an easy way to show tabs in their own line when lots of various pages need to be open but when need max space viewable below to click a dropdown to push tabs up to end of next line above (in the waste space)
    Finally, my page has the 4th line taken up by the Forward and Back arrows, the web address line, and then a shorter box called iLivid Web Search with a magnifying glass and then a little box at the end of a house -- which I use all the time to go to my home page for new tabs opened
    I think it would be cool if we could easily elim all but the blue line and one more line by pushing stuff in line 3 and 4 up into line 1 (blue line) and line 2
    My much older IE version had a feature you could drag the lines up they would do what I am saying with all the lines except the blue line at the top -- then when it compressed thje info, it would just show part of title and then a little // sort of button to click to see or expand a part of the line to read it all if needed
    It seems likely this has mostly been solved but I can not seem to figure how to use the settting and buttons on my firefox page to accomplish these changes easily back and forth
    From my looking at it, these features need to be available when you right click on each line but maybe my version8 is not set up quite right
    so any and all assistance is greatly appreciated
    Cheers, G

    Found settings in on the Layout tab of the page and changed the top px from 32 to 10.

  • Open Buddy List instead of Chat Window

    I remember at least with iChat, when you clicked on the icon in the dock, you could have it open the Buddy List to pick a name to start a conversation. Now with Messages, everytime I click on the icon, it just takes me to a new chat window. I've looked around in the options and can't find a way to default to opening the Buddy List instead of a window, even if I move a particular chat account above iMessage in the Accounts window.
    Any workarounds? If not, I'd like to see this make it to the feature request list.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The Window Menu (once Messages in Launched) and the keystrokes listed remains the only place that this can be done.
    The option to Chose any Window that is Open from the DOCK icon has gone  (Used mainly when the app was Not "front")
    The other method of using the Menu bar icon drop down to get to individual buddy List also does not work as it does not list which Buddy list is "Front"  (you can opt to show or not Show the Bonjour Buddies (making Bonjour the "Front" Buddy list but it does not tell which is when the Bonjour one is not)
    Like you I am somewhat "iChat Centric" about this.

  • Is there a way to open a chat window with lookout?

    I know there is a windows-chat embeded in Windows but our IT department has it blocked in all the machines. So I created, using a run object, a wordpad window to chat remotelly with the operator of the system using VNC4.0. Problem is that as soon as a new lookout screen is open, wordpad goes behind lookout. This VNC does not have chat windows.
    I have secured lookout with passwords, the operator can not get inside the computer when lookout is open. No menu bar, no task bar. Lookout shutdwon the computer by a button on screen connected to a run object. When computer boots up, lookout opens automatically becasue its icon is in the start up file. This way of blocking the access to inside the PC works great but once wordpad windows goes back, I don't see a way to make it visible again without breaking the security of Lookout.
    It will be really handy to have sort of chat window that lookout can open and close by itself, without asking for the blessing of the IT department.
    Any ideas?
    Note: I tried also the web  server ponting to a wordpad file previously saved in some place. The inconcvenience of this is that the Web object cannot be moved around to uncover buttons of lookout screens. It doen't work 100% fine either as a chat windows.
    Again: Any ideas?

    Create Comments:
    Create an Access database.  Table: Notepad Fields: Username (Text), ComputerName(Text),TimeStamp(DateTime),Comment(Memo)
    Create TextObject called ChatComment. 
    Create PushButton called MakeComment.
    Create and SQLExec object. Connect to the database.
    SQL Query  "INSERT INTO Notepad (Username,ComputerName,TimeStamp,ChatComment) VALUE "'" & $system.Username & "', '" & $system.Computername & "'," & now() & ", '" & ChatComment & "')"
    (This SQL query is just PSEUDO CODE, it is not complete!)
    Connect SQLExec.Execute=MakeComment (pushbutton).
     Read Comments (Most Recent 15):
    Create DataTable object, set as ODBC and connect to database.
    SQL Query: "SELECT TOP 15 * FROM Notepad ORDER BY DateTime ASC"
    Set a timer object or pushbutton to DataTable.ExecuteSQL
    The datatable should have fields like A (Username), B (Computername), C(TimeStamp), D (ChatComment)
    Make your displays.
    This is all pseudo-code type. But that will get you close to what you want.

  • How do i remove an Update notification? I do not want to update to the latest iOS (Asian languages) which is useless to me and I don't want to waste space on my iPad. I want to be able to "Select All" instead of doing each update individually.

    That's quite a title I created!  Sorry, I've never submitted a question before! ☺ I do not want to update to the latest iOS (Asian language stuff) which is useless to me and I don't want to waste space on my iPhone 4S and iPad 5. I want to be able to "Select All" updates instead of doing each update individually. It's a real pain in the you-know-what. Does anyone know how to I remove this notification (and any other updates I'm not interested in) from the Updates page? Thanks so much everyone!

    Thanks so much for your time!  I wish you had a more positive answer, but c'est la vie!  I hate the fact that I cannot control my apps and feel like a hostage of the developer(s). I've read other forums and some responses were "then delete the app!"  Lame answer!  So thank you so much for your respectful and insightful reply!  Cheers.

  • Hp stream running out of space due to windows updates.

    So having had my stream 14 for a few months now it was in need of a clean up and so I decided to factory reset it and discovered a serious issue regarding lost drive space caused by windows updates.
    In factory shipped condition, the system uses some sort of system that accesses the recovery partition to use the data on the WIM I believe, either way whatever it is doing is quite clever and leaves the system with a farly impressive 19.3GB of free space left over, however this situation rapidly degrades once windows starts to update itself. 
    Allowing Windows 8.1 X64 to update to the last available 'important' update reduces the available free space down to 10.8GB, that's a massive (when taken in context of how much is available) 8.5GB of space gone just by windows performing what are supposed to be important updates, not sure how much worse it will get with time either as it appears that any updated files are expanded to fill the available space rather than stored in the WIM image.
    Do HP consider it uneccesary to update windows or are they going to take action to somehow rectify the situation by maybe providing an updated system image that will allow a more recent updated version of windows to be used in the same manner the original installation was? Or is there something I can do to perform this function?
    Any ideas?

    @Dano314 ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  The updates are put out there to resolve issues.
    If you find you are running out of space. Consider using an external hard drive.  The hard drive on your system is not made for huge file storage and so on.  
    On the other hand if you find your system is running ok then do updates when you seem to find you are running into issues.
    Thanks again for posting and have a great day.
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
    Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.
