Wasted space on report

I have a report with the following structure:
FRAME
REPEATING FRAME
FRAME 1
FRAME 2
REPEATING FRAME 1
The FRAME1 should appear in the first page only (and ir does), and the RF1 is in master-detail with RF, so should get printed in all pages.
Problem is, in each page, it appear the space (blank) taken by the FRAME1 (altough no data is printed).
All frames and repeating frames are set to vertical elasticity "variable".
Thank you for any help

FRAME
REPEATING FRAME
FRAME 1
FRAME 2
REPEATING FRAME 1
FRAME is a frame wich contains everything... and is set to variable (vertical elasticity).
REPEATING FRAME contains the master query; and contains FRAME1, FRAME2, RF1
FRAME 1 constains data of the master query. Every report has 1 record from the master query, so FRAME1 should appear 1 time (and it does)
FRAME2 contains RF1. It is set to variable (vertical elasticity).
RF1 contains detail-query. It appears n times in report.
Both FRAME 2 and RF1 has page protected set to YES. I put FRAME2 page protect to NO, and aparently the problem was fixed... not sure WHY, but it works... at least this time.

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.

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.
Thank You,

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.

When I Conditional Supress the page footer. It occupy space in report

I am designing Crystal report with multiple page footers.Initially I have suppressed all page footer. Each page footer is un suppressed against a specific Test Id (db Field). I have done this with formula for each page footer.
The problem is when Page footer is suppress it occupy space in report.
Provide solution plz.

Can you recreate the entire footer as a formula field? If so:
1. create the formula field using an if-then-else statement to poplulate the field:
WhilePrintingRecords;
IF PageNumber = 1
THEN 'text' + text data + (chr(9) + totext(numeric/date data) + chr(13) + 'text data' + etc...
Chr(9) = tab
Chr(13) = next line
2. Place the formula field in the page footer using as little space as possible.
3. Enable the formula field's "Can Grow" property.
4. You could try setting the formula fields conditional suppression to PageNumber <> 1. Not sure if this is necessary, but it can't hurt.
This may do the trick for you.

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.

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!

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.

Wasted space in .approject files

From what I can tell, the approject file does not shrink if photos are removed from it. Can anyone confirm this is a bug?
Example...
1.. Take any project with a decent number of photos
2.. Check the size of the approject, AP.Minis, AP.Thumbnails and AP.Tinies files
3.. Delete a portion of those photos
4.. Recheck the sizes of those files..
Results:
the approject is slightly smaller due to the folders per file being deleted
the AP.Minis, Thumbnails, and Tinies files are the same size..
Example:
Project starts with 734 photos
File sizes are 377 mb, 69.5 mb, 228.5 mb, and 1.1 mb respectively
Delete some, project now has 624 photos
File sizes are 366.3 mb, 69.5 mb, 228.5 mb, and 1.1 mb respectively
I would assume that after deleting ~15% of the photos, that the project was ~15% smaller.. (adding photos to a project does work roughly in line..)
Instead, the file is *ONLY 3% smaller*.. it SHOULD be in the 320mb range, but instead is ~366, roughly 46 mb of wasted space..
Note: I generally delete at least 1/2 of the photos in every project.. So I'm willing to bet that roughly 45% of my 29.58 GB Aperture Library is wasted.. That probably has an effect on overall performance, and definitely is chewing up too much space on my laptop. I need those 15 GB back, please give me a way to claim that space.
Note 2: Do the same test, and delete all of the photos in the project. the AP.* files do not shrink. The project with 0 photos still occupies ~300 mb worth of space.
At the very least, Aperture needs a way to "Compact" project files. Preferably at the project and global levels (i.e. all projects in one shot). I have rebuilt the database recently, and that did not improve this situation.

I haven't tried deleting the AP.* files as of yet, and letting Aperture rebuild them. I'm going to guess this might work, though given I have over 250 projects, I'm not looking forward to the "show package contents", manually delete files, let Aperture reprocess them x 250 times.. Perhaps I'll be better off doing it through the command prompt.
And even if this does work, it's bound to be hundreds of times slower to rebuild every single thumbnail (roughly 100k of them) than it would be to compact each AP.* file, removing the empty/unused entries.
This is poor design/implementation/bug in my opinion (as a software developer for the past 17 years..)

How to prevent wasted space on a table

I am running a SAP Solution Manager 7.1 on Sybase ASE 15.7.0.110. The InfoCube table /BI0/F0SMD_PE2H keeps on growing quickly. This wasn't the case on other RDBMS. The ATM job doesn't help. Also running the ATM job manually doesn't change the table size:
reorg compact [SMP.SAPSR3./BI0/F0SMD_PE2H]
Only if I use the rebuild option, the table size shrinks:
reorg rebuild [SMP.SAPSR3./BI0/F0SMD_PE2H]
This causes the InfoCube with 1 million rows to shrink from 8 GB to 400 MB. That was an awful lot of wasted space.
Is it possible to avoid this excessive growth? Looks like the daily data load is causing the table to grow quickly again.
Or should I try to perform this "reorg rebuild" via the weekly ATM job?
Regards,
Mark

This is Sybase ASE 15.7.0.110. The mentioned table is a SAP InfoCube fact table. Fact tables never contain LOB data, they are composed of int and decimal columns. The SAP note 1780367 is about updated LOB columns. On the fact table, there are only inserts performed, no updates or deletes. Therefore I think the note doesn't help. I am just puzzled what causes Sybase ASE to allocate 7 times more space than required.

Wasted Space in JTabbedPane

Anyone know if there is a way to prevent excess space in a JTabbedPane? As in, keep the pane only as big at the biggest tab within it?
Take this for example:
public class TabbedPaneLayoutTest {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    launchUI();
     private static void launchUI() {
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("Tabbed Pane Layout Test");
          JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
          JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
          for (int i=0; i<4; i++) {
               tabbedPane.addTab("test", new JLabel("Hi"));
          mainPanel.add(tabbedPane, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
          mainPanel.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          frame.setContentPane(mainPanel);
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.pack();
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          frame.setVisible(true);
}In the example, I placed the JTabbedPane in the NORTH of a BorderLayout to try and keep it as compact as possible. If you set i to either 1 or 2, so only 1 or 2 tabs are created, the tabs stay very compact. But when you get up to 4 or more tabs, there is a fair amount of wasted space. Anyone familiar with this phenomenon and/or have any possible solutions?

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.

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.

Deleted Index entry & Waste Space

I'm reading OCP 11g Book(All-in-One exam guide by Oracle Press) in a chapter(Moving and reorganizing Data) it says..
Indexes do deteriorate as DML is executed: if a row is deleted, this will result in wasted space in the index. Oracle’s index maintenance algorithm does not permit reuse of this space. It is logically impossible to reclaim this space by relocating other
index keys because the index keys must always be stored in order ..and so on.
I've read (and tested) (courtesy Richard foote ) that index do use free space with subsequent insert whether or not the value is same. Richard foote has written it in 2009 in his blog post and the book seems to be of 2010 then why such misleading information from Oracle Press book?
Regards!!

Hi Fabricio
The point you're missing is that most indexes don't have space that needs to be reclaimed in the first place, as the deleted space is simply reused by subsequent inserts into the leaf block anyways. It's not true that "*Oracle’s index maintenance algorithm does not permit reuse of this space. It is logically impossible to reclaim this space by relocating other index keys because the index keys must always be stored in order*"
Not sure I'll be buying the book based on the little piece I've now read :)

Problems after space error reported

My Time Capsule device has worked perfectly for months and deletes old backups as necessary when there is insufficient space for a new backup. I'm using a 500Gb device to backup a Mac Pro and a G4 Powerbook - no problems until yesterday.
During a backup I received an error message - this gist of it was "Time Capsule encountered an unexpected space problem during a backup and will create space next time". Expecting this problem to be resolved automatically I clicked OK and carried on working. The problem I now have is that Time Capsule has been preparing for backup for several hours (across two consecutive days) now and shows no sign of starting a new backup.
I left the MacPro running overnight yesterday but the new backup had not started when I started work this morning. I restarted the MacPro this morning (8 hours ago) and prompted Time Capsule to "Backup Now" - it has been eight hours and the backup has not started - it is still "preparing".
I have looked in the system log and can see messages containing write error 28 and something to do with "needs recovery" (see below) but this way above my level of expertise.

This message is repeated every 30 seconds and is the only entry in the log since the "no space left on device" message.
Is this just Time Capsule carrying out a deep traversal (there's no mention in the log) or do I have a problem with the TC device? I'd be very grateful for any help or suggestions.
Kind regards,

I think I got it.
Open Terminal, type "hdiutil compact " and drag the sparsebundle onto the terminal window, so that it copies the right path. Hit return and let it free some space. The sparsebundles do not automatically compact themselves when they delete some old backups, so doing it manually did the trick for me.
After completing, I had some 40 GB space again and the backup worked again.
