Wasted vertical space

Upgrade from 3.6 to 6x vanished toolbar and wasted top line with name of current page. HELP and right-click brought back toolbar.
Highlighted Tab shows current page. Allow the size/exit icons to be on same line as toolbar (or other user choice) and quit wasting top space. "Less is more."

You only get the tab bar in the title bar if the Firefox window is maximized.
So if you can't maximize the Firefox window then you have to accept that.
There is probably a Stylish script that allows to have the Tab bar in the title bar, so you can do a search for that.

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

Anchored Objects with text wrap, need vertical space

Hi. I'm a fairly new InDesign user and have just this past week learned about anchored objects, threading text frames, numbered lists, and some other fun options. So far InDesign has done most everything I need fairly elegantly. However, I have not been able solve one issue.
In my book I have numerous pages that have this issue; I'll just describe one case. On this page there are 4 graphics running down the right side of the page. These are not anchored graphics. They do have text wrap defined on the left side and bottom. There is text that wraps lovely on the left.
Each of these four graphics has a specific paragraph it needs to top align with. However, the text it aligns with may not take up as much vertical space as the graphic does. When I anchor each graphic with the paragraph it needs to align with, the four graphics overlap each other.
At the moment, to make it look right, I have placed each graphic individually and added a blank paragraph above each paragraph of text that should align with a graphic and use the Space Above of each blank paragraph to have it align with the graphic.
I'm not even sure what to search to try and solve this. I looked briefly into compound paths, but that didn't look like it would help.
I hope this is clear and thank you for any assistance at all.
Andrea

No problem. Click your cursor somewhere in the paragraph that ought to be aligned with the next image down, then run this Javascript.
It's not entirely accurate, as it uses the font size to do a minimal adjustment where it actually should use the font's cap height -- but you cannot get to that through scripting. This final adjustment is necessary because ID does know the baseline, and your first line ought to dip just below this to have the top of the first line aligned to the top of the image.
//DESCRIPTION:Align paragraph with image.
// Jongware, 15-Jul-2010
if (app.selection.length == 1 && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty ("baseline") && app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].index > 0)

     ypos = app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].lines[0].baseline;
     pg = app.selection[0].parentTextFrames[0];

               nearest = img[i];

This image shows three paragraphs aligned with their respective images (it won't work on the first paragraph, but that ought not to be necessary anyhoo).

Imbedded graphics taking too much vertical space in HTML preview

Does anyone know why imbedded pictures should require more vertical space than expected on the HTML preview?
I imported a .jpg into my report layout, and immediately below it I added a line of text. The HTML preview shows me a LOT of unexpected blank space between the picture and the text.
I then inserted the .jpg into a table in which the "Fit to Content" option is checked. On the RTF layout, it looks great - the margins of the cell snuggle up pretty close to the picture. But when previewed, that extra blank space comes back and appears below the picture - the table row is a lot taller than it needs to be.
I've experimented with different image heights, and the amount of extra vertical space seems to always be about 40% of the height of the picture. So if the picture is 100 pixels tall, the table row is about 140 pixels, with 40 pixels of height in unwanted blank space. I can even set the row height to a value less than the height of the image. On the RTF, it looks right (chops a portion of the image). On the Preview... there's the blank space again.
Not only that, I can't get the picture to locate anywhere other than at the top of the table cell. No matter how I format the cell, the graphic insists on staying at the top.
BTW, the PDF preview behaves correctly. No extra blank space.

What's the 'tiny_spacer_rule' for which is applied to the paragraph tag between the end of your
'header' section and the start of the table?
<li><a href="testimonials/2010/june/2010june_testimonials.html">TESTIMONIALS</a></li>

Optional Vertical Space Character

Paragraphs can have a "space before" and "space after" attribute, as you probably know. The nice thing about this is that if the paragraph is at the top of the page, the space before disappears.
I would like to have a vertical space character that does the same. You insert it into a line by itself (Type>Special Characters>Vertical Spacer). It makes a vertical gap based on the leading you give it.
BUT! if it appears as the top line of a text frame, it will disappear.
Why is this good? Because it saves having to create a lot of paragraph styles to deal with each situation. For instance, currnetly, I may need the following styles:
Block Quote Standalone [space before and space after]
Block Quote beginning [space before no space after]
Block Quote Middle [no space before no space after]
Block Quote End [no space before space after]
Block Quote Standalone Indented
Block Quote beginning Indented
Block Quote Middle Indented
Block Quote End Indented
That's 8 styles all for the different combinations of block quotes. If I had a "vertical space" character, I would need only two styles:
Block Quote; and
Block Quote Indented.
Much easier to manage! The variations could be simply managed by inserting a vertical spacer as needed. Really useful idea, and similar to the way dedicated typesetting systems used to work several decades ago.
Thanks,
Ariel

Perhaps. Not sure I understand. Could you elaborate?
But let me explain. Here's an example. A regular long block quote will need 3 styles, depending on whether there needs to be a line space before or after the paragraph:
     BlockQuoteBeginning BlockQuoteBeginning BlockQuoteBeginning
BlockQuoteBeginning BlockQuoteBeginning BlockQuoteBeginning
BlockQuoteBeginning BlockQuoteBeginning BlockQuoteBeginning
BlockQuoteBeginning BlockQuoteBeginning BlockQuoteBeginning
     BlockQuoteMiddle BlockQuoteMiddle BlockQuoteMiddle BlockQuoteMiddle
BlockQuoteMiddle BlockQuoteMiddle BlockQuoteMiddleBlockQuoteMiddle
BlockQuoteMiddleBlockQuoteMiddleBlockQuoteMiddleBlockQuoteMiddle
    BlockQuoteEnd BlockQuoteEnd BlockQuoteEnd BlockQuoteEnd
BlockQuoteEnd BlockQuoteEnd BlockQuoteEnd BlockQuoteEnd
BlockQuoteEnd BlockQuoteEnd BlockQuoteEnd BlockQuoteEnd
And then you need a separate style for a standalone block quote, that needs a line space both above and below. So that's 4 common styles.
Then, occassionally, each of these for will sometimes not need indentation. So that's another four styles.
Also, if the book requires block quotes in footnotes (a bad idea, IMHO, but the choice is not up to me), that's another 8 styles for the same reason.
The forced line break that you mention, if I've understood correctly, wouldn't work with justified paragraphs, since it will force the line before the forced break to be fully justified?

Problem with interspersed response -- opening vertical space fail

mail.app version 5.3 (1283) on MacOS 10.7.5
I can top- or bottom- post and do so when appropriate, generally in very simple email conversations.
BUT, for more complex threads, I commonly want to open some space between each paragraph of each incoming message to insert my response. (Incoming paragraphs are typicallly separated by a blank line or two.) Mail.app provides horizontal bar quoting indicators at the left to mark the progress of the thread over many exchanges, though this mechanism often seems not to be very well supported by the email clients of my correspondents. (I often end up increasing the quoting manually to restore a semblance of the correct quoting of a thread. Oh, well...)
I've been using mail.app only since I installed 10.7, shortly after it was released. With varying success, especially when using formatted as opposed to plain text. Exchanges with some people work more or less flawlessly.   The most common difficulty: I have trouble opening up vertical space below an incoming, quoted paragraph in which to type my response to that para. Up until today, I've always been able to find a way, by exeriment of where I put the cursor, using shift-enter instead of enter, etc, etc.
But for a message I just received, I cannot. Every attempt I make to open some vertical space results in ... trouble. If I put the cursor on a blank line between incoming paragraphs and command "decrease quote level" I get 8 inches [!] or so of quoted vertical space, followed by 8 more inches or so of unquoted vertical space, followed by the following paragraph and the rest of the thread, apparently intact. That's not right!
Fortunately, I can undo and resume ... to do what? I get a similar result if I try placing the cursor that line and hit "enter". Or "Enter". Or "shift-enter".
Yeah, it looks like I've opened 10 inches in which to insert my response to the first paragraph, but first I need to get rid of most of the inserted quoted vertical space -- an impossible task, as far as I can see. If I put the cursor on the first line of unquoted space and backspace, the 10 quoted inches stay the same and characters delete from the end of the previous quoted parag.
What's going on?   Are there any methods of recovering some semblance of normal operation so I can answer this incoming message? (OK, I've given up and responded by top-posting.)   I note that I can view the source of the incoming message, but I see no way to view the source of the response, to see what exactly is going on. What is actually being inserted in the formatted text source that creates the mess I observe?
In this case, viewing the incoming source seems to reveal only one apparent client name: Zimbra.   Is that a client? Could Zimbra and mail.app have ... issues with each other?
Are there any mail.app add-ins that might help?   Work-arounds?   (Yeah, probably converting to plain text would solve the problem, but that has other issues.)   Any applicable help or articles?
Am I missing anything incredibly obvious?
TIA

How can I get rid of Australis without using Classic Theme Restorer or how can I save vertical space?

Hi!
I have a widescreen notebook so limited space on the vertical axis. So
1) I want to get rid of the tab bar when I have only one window open.
2) I want to get rid of the title bar which includes no necessary information.
3) I want to move the adress bar to the menu bar.
Before Australis, this was easily done. After I did the update I searched very long for solutions. I found only Classic Theme Restorer. It is good, but it often causes my computer to high power consumption which makes the notebook very hot.
So ho can I get vertical space (see 1 - 3)?
Best wishes, Dimi

Hello Dimi,
# I am not sure if it can be done without the use of extensions, but if you are okay with installing one, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus Tab Mix Plus] gives you the option to hide the tab bar when you only have 1 tab (in addition to many other options). Under the Tab Mix Plus options after installing, the option to hide it will be under Display > Tab Bar. Another one after a quick search is conveniently titled [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide Tab Bar with One Tab].
# The title bar can be removed by clicking [[Image:New Fx Menu]] followed by Customize. At the bottom of the page that opens should say "Title Bar" (will be beside "Show/hide Toolbars), if you click that the Title bar will disappear and be merged with the Menu Bar.
# I am not sure if the address bar can be moved anymore, but if you still have your Bookmarks Toolbar, that can be placed beside the menu options to give you more space. Go to the same page as in step 2, then click and drag the bookmarks toolbar onto the same toolbar as the menu bar.
Hope that helps.

Optional vertical space marker in CS4?

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows if there exists, in IDCS4, some sort of way
of creating vertical space between paragraphs that will not appear if the
paragraph happens to begin at the top of the page.
Obviously, until now I've been using paragraph styles. But some kind of
vertical space marker would be so much simpler. You could have one for a
half-line height, or a full-line height and just insert them as necessary.
If not, any workarounds except for paragraph styles?
Thanks,
Ariel
Win XPSP3, IDCS4ME

Yes. Harbs idea is simpler than mine, because you don't have to fiddle with
textwrap settings.
So to summarize:
1. disable Skip by leading in preferences.
2. make sure the text frame you're working in has "First Baseline" set to
exact or leading.
2. create a line the length of the gap you wish.
3. cut and paste it at the beginning of the paragraph above which a gap
should appear.
4. Set it to an "above line" anchored object (or better, create an object
style to do this at a keystroke)
(If at some stage the leading changes, with CS4 you can do a search and
replace for the length of the line.)
I think that's pratical enough to be useable.
Here's a quote from "The Complete Manual of Typography" by James Felici,
published by Adobe Press:
"Dedicated typesetting systems typically had a command that let you add a
vertical space band of whatever width werever you wanted. Such a space band
was an independent entity, not tied to any paragraph. The software
recoginized it as a role-playing spacing element, and when that role wasn't
required-[as at the beginning of a page]-it would ignore the vrtical space
band. Unfortunately, this facility has yet to find its way into popular
desktop systems."
But at least there's a workaround....
Thanks,
Ariel

Extra vertical space in FF2

http://www.emergencypettemecula.com/temp.html
I am using an image at the bottom of this page to simulate a
drop shadow. In
IE6 this displays perfectly. In FF2 there is a small vertical
space between
the #footer div and the image. I can't see where the space is
coming from. I
have set margin:0 for img in my CSS.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

If you CAN write clean an efficient code theres no difference
in how a
page performs whatever the doctype as long as it complies. If
youre not
well versed in writing clean and efficient code its probably
not a good
idea to use a strict doctype.

Not really. I can write validate and compliant code that

Transitional is far more applicable for beginners in my
opinion. I guess
you're the kind of person that would set out for the North

being fully equipped with the knowledge you need.

Enough said. What appears in the browser is what really
counts.

Australis does not take up enough vertical space.

Removing the option to use small icons was a step in the right direction, but there's still too much vertical space. I suggest adding more padding, larger icons, and perhaps more default toolbars to reduce the vertical viewing space to about 1 pixel.

I assume that this is not really a problem, but rather meant to be ironically to emphasize that the Australis design is taking a lot more screen estate for the user interface then the current release leaving less room for the browsing area.<br />
The OP seems to suggest to enlarge all toolbar items that much that the full screen minus 1px will be taken up by the toolbars and its icons. :wink:<br />
Yes, the Australis design is taking up more screen estate as this is to prepare for touch screens and tablets that need larger icons.
There will probably be themes and extensions that will address this expansion for normal screens and allow for more browsing estate in these cases.

How to delete vertical space between two divs?

I have a very simple page right now. Top div holds an image. The div below it holds another image. Both divs appear to be adding space to the bottom. I know other's have had this issue - yet when searching the forum I'm not finding anything. I've added 0 for padding and margins.... I"m out of patience. Want to go back to tables (but I won't let those divs beat me!) help please? http://www.duenorthdesign.com/christmas
I even added a container around everythign to see if that would help and it didn't. And my height dimensions match my images exactly.
OK, found the answer after nearly 3 hours. Due to doctype html5 I used:
img {
vertical-align: bottom;
Just maybe this will help someone out there searching..... I went through about 50 attempts from reading posts before I stumbled on this one.

What this does is remove the space for the text descender that is attached to display:inline elements (lower case j, g, q, etc).

Vertically spaces between UI elements

Hi all,
How do you set up spaces vertically between different UI elements ?
All my UI elements are near each other, I use mainly RowLayout and FlowLayout.
Thanks !

Hi Benjamin,
In the width , enter the width of UI elements , In crease the width upto how much spacing u want., u can also use medium , Large in vAlign., In the vAlign of UI element select medium or large . This also will give spacing.,
If u use grid layout left padding and right padding helps u .
revert if u need some more clarifications.,
Thanks & Regards

Wasted disk space

Disk space used for Podcasts builds up over time. It seems when some podcasts are deleted from iTunes the underlying data files are not removed. Even though I've listened to all my podcasts and deleted them many, but not all, are still in my podcasts directory.
Every month or so I have to delete/unsubscribe to all my podcasts. I then go and review the Podcasts directory on my PC and this is regularly over 4GB of data. I can sucessfully delete all the subdirectories of the podcasts directory and reclaim the wasted space but I shouldn't have to do this.
Can/does the iTunes software provide a way of syncing up what iTunes thinks you have with the contents of the Podcasts directory?
Thanks,
Ron MacRae

Select them in ITunes and delete them.
If they are not showing up in Tunes, you can delete them from the Podcasts directory.

Wasted screen space on plugins make a lot of plugins useless

When a plug in is accessed, about 10% of the screen space at the top is wasted with a useless icon. The designers of plugins do not expect this. As a result, on a intel Macbook, the bottom of a lot of plug ins cannot be "reached" since Garageband wastes a bunch of space at the top. Could you PLEEEZE remove that wasted space? Some of the most popular plugins in the world become useless because of this wasted space (for example Massive from Native Instruments).

This is a user-to-user forum - if you want to address a GB problem to Apple, submit a feedback!

Does updating to iOS 6 on the phone waste available space?

It used to be that updating iOS (as opposed to downloading an update and restoring) would "waste) 500 MB each time. I'm wondering whether that is still the case with in-place updating on the iPhone. It does seem that I have a 400 MB less space available since updating from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.

You probably have corrupted files. The update should remove them.
