What makes a plugin unique?

This is another possible subject line for my post:
"I guess it is too easy for plugins to conflict with one another"
What I am trying to do is equivalent to performing surgery on Siamese twins.
As we know, programming inside code written by somebody else (specially plugins) is like walking on broken glass...
My application attempts to properly retrieve all Elements of type "Path" and push them into the Windows clipboard. Per wise forum advice (thanks again, guys!) I am basing my (derivative/forked) plugin on one of the provided samples, which is very similar to mine: SelectionServer.
Naturally, I'd like to verify that newer versions do not introduce unintended consequences (typing an "x" instead of a "y" is extremely easy), so here's the plan:
I need one menu with two menu items. One of them will refer to the latest/current version of my plugin. The other, to the previous version. They will dump their results into the clipboard, where they will be readily available for "diff" comparisons.
This is what I have so far: I figured how to create the 2 *.api files.
(to be continued)

NB: It is important to mention that all my source code changes have been done in the "SelectionServerInit.cpp" (*) file.
I have made trial&error modifications in the region below:
but alas, I am getting one menu (as expected) but only one menu item (I want two). See solution in the post below.
The following modification is critical: it finally caused TWO separate menu items to appear.:
In a deliberate way, I am making one change at a time and observing the effects (or lack thereof). Scientific Method kind of operation.
That is where I am so far: The GUI looks okay, except that the check marks next to the menu items work in unison: They are either checked or unchecked simultaneously and only one of the plugins is actually being executed (when either of the menu items is selected). The Siamese twins are close to acquiring individuality, but not quite yet.
Note: The original, Adobe-provided "SelectionServer" plugin or its implementing DLL "SelectionServer.api" are nowhere near my computer. They have morphed into my "Copy&Paste" code. Yes, I will rename my product. But, like I said above, I am making changes like a prudent elephant in a China shop: very carefully, one step at a time.
I have had more than my share of frustration after wholesale modifications, WHICH is precisely the motivation for these paired plugins strategy.
TIA

How do I make the plugin run automatically when a photo is imported?

I am trying to write a new plugin where the metadata will be automatically added to the photo when I import the photo in the Lightroom.

As John said, there is no mechanism to receive notification of import. The likely recourse is continuous polling (unless you get very creative..).
You can try optimizing. e.g.: every second (or less), see if the count has changed, if it's gone up, something's been imported, if not then probably not (check anyway once in a while..).

How do I save the custom metadata with the image file?
Lightroom 5 has the limitation, plugin cannot link the custom metadata fields to XMP file or save them with image file.
So, is there any alternative way to save the custom metadata?
Yeah: Lightroom won't save custom metadata in xmp, nor read it if it's there, so you are pretty much on your own - you can save in a file, but if you save as non-standard sidecar Lr won't attend to it like it will jpg or xmp sidecar. For that reason it's often better to save in a separate dedicated location. You can save in image file itself, e.g. using exiftool if raw file, but that would make me nervous, and of course you'd have to have the logic to read it somewhere too..
Good luck,

Help!!! How to make quicktime plugin do not display on top of the web page?

Any one knows how to make quicktime plugin do not display on top of the web page??? I've tried to change the zIndex property using javascript, but it doesn't work.
Because we have some widgets which are required to be moved to anywhere on the page, we use iframe to implement that, so it can display on top of quicktime plugin, but the plugin flickers sometimes when we do some operation on the widget which is on top of it.
Anyone can helps me? Thanks in advance!!!

What makes Arch stand out?

I have heard people talk about Arch a lot, but have never been able to figure out what makes it different from other distros. I am interested in trying it out but I would like to learn a bit more about it first. People talk a lot about how great the Pacman package manager is, but I haven't been able to figure out what is really unique about Pacman based on the things I have read about it? What are the similarities and differences that make it stand out from other package managers?
I have been using Ubuntu for quite some time but I would like to find something I like a bit better. I have used Gentoo for a little while and I like it, but compiling everything from source is time consuming. I would really like something that gives the user a similar level of control but without having to compile everything. I generally find myself using default options for compiling anyway, so I don't feel like it's really worth it. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to use something that's more for advanced users than Ubuntu is, but doesn't require you to wait for packages to compile every time you want to make a change to the system. Am I right to think that Arch may be what I'm looking for? Does anyone have any opinions on what makes Arch really stand out aside from Pacman?

bananaoomarang wrote:PAcman is brilliant because it's light and featurefull and manages my system perfect;y.
No it isn't. Try replacing openjdk with sun's jre. Pacman can't do that when something is installed that depends on java-environment even when both packages provide it.
In fact I consider pacman to be the only thing that really needs improvement:
The "database" is the filesystem which makes the first reading of the database extremely slow until it is in cache.
Pacman really has problems with handling dependencies of dependencies, the user often has to do it himself instead of pacman offering some sane options.
Other than that Pacman is great: It is fast when the database is in ram and it's not bloated like the package manager on other Distributions (rpm on fedora *caugh*).
What makes Arch stand out is the extremely good Rolling Release: I used ubuntu before and you maybe know about the time when there was this discussion about open office 3 and firefox 3 not going into the release version... With time it were simply too much applications that were hold back. You may also remember the brasero 0-byte-free bug, where many people could not burn with brasero for 6 months because Ubuntu refused to put the fixed version in the repos.
Another thing is the init system. I never quite understood all these /etc/rc.* things and how they are configured correctly. There are some hacks like the rcconf program, but nothing compares to the simplicity and sanity of rc.conf + /etc/rc.d/
Anything that comes from the Archlinux project is simple and fun to use. Try building a sane package for debian - that's the opposite of fun.
Try building a package for Archlinux: Write a pkgbuild and it just works.

What makes iPad better than other tablets

Hi there! i am planning on buying the new iPad 2 but i want to ask and talk about what makes the iPad better than other tablets particularly Android.
Since its first outing the iPad has come from strenght to strenght with featrures and apps only a smartphone (or even a PC) could dream of.
But in the past few months there has been a tsunami of Android tablets vuying to topple Apple's device. with better features like:
1. Divx support (in some devices)
2. better front & rear cameras
3. better multitasking and customisation options
4. Android being an "open" platform
5. video chat with ANY similar device (and not confined to only Android)
6. better bluetooth option and features (like sending files to ANY device and not confined to only Android)
7. full DLNA support (in almost all devices now)
......and the list goes on.
sure it's not a contest and sure some makers have "copied" features from Apple and made it into their own but i still love Apple devices not because of the lack of features but because the technology really works and the OS just flows really smooth.
so, i want to ask you guys....what makes Apple devices such as the iPad 2 special, unique, desirable and better in many ways than an Android device?
what makes the iPad an investment for me and my family?

Don't get me wrong i am fan of Android but i also am a fan of the iPad 2. but i still can't help with the things the device is lacking and lagging behind with with the Android devices.
sure, the iPad is not a Xoom or a Transformer or a Galaxy tab.
sure, the iOS is fluid and smooth and it just works
sure, Honeycomb 3.0 is full of bugs and it freezes more often than not (i heard)
sure, the Apps Store is still miles away when it comes to apps, games, etc. (although i heard it will be overtaken by the Android Markt by this year in terms of sheer numbers but also quality apps designed/dedicated for tablets by next year)
the Android Amrket might not have "rogue" apps or "stealing user data" but doesn't Apple products have that and do that as well?
sure the iPad doesn't support Flash but even though its a battery hogging software you still enjoy the "full" web (the way it was meant to be viewed) on an Android tablet.
sure, the iPad does have a below 1-megapixel camera which is jurassic really.
but it still doesn't hide the facts like what i mentioned on my previous emails.
for the cheapest wifi-only iPad 2 you pay GBP399
the equivalent 7" Galaxy Tab (which came out months before the ipad 2) you pay GBP399 and that's with 3G, better front & rear facing camera, full Divx capability (without the need of an app), full DLNA capability (without the need of a separate device or server), better and more "open" bluetooth, full Flash compatibility amongst others.
basing on my example above can someone tell me without being biased...what makes the iPad 2 better in many ways?

What is the Plugin that puts checkboxes next to links so that all cheked links are opened?

I can't remember what was the plugin or maybe it was a plugin with Maxthon but the feature is somewhat like this:
In a webpage there are several links of interest, and this plugin toggled checkboxes next to the links for ticking. Then only those selected links would be opened. This is similar to Snap Links or Multi-Links, but a different way of handling multiple links which may be spread across the page.
With the checkboxes, one only needs to keep putting ticks next to the interesting links as one reads a page and later open all the selected/checked links.
Update1: Yes, it was a Maxthon plugin called OpenCheckedLinks. This is a much needed feature for Firefox.
Update2: Ok, found Firefox Plugin called Linky, which does solve this problem partially by listing the urls to select, but it does not carry the anchor text. Maybe the developer will include that feature.

The OP is searhing the system tables for a user table in a database. With most dbms's you would select from the system table for the object. MySql has the Show command.

How to make the entry unique

Hi guys,
I have a table of people with the following fields:
firstName
lastName
DOB
email
address
group
as you can see, nothing makes an entry unique. so say I would like to get some info about John Smith, I might found more than one entry for John Smith.
Question: any idea how to make an entry unique? hashing???
I'm using mySQL.
Thanks for any help

You need to assign a primary key to your table ( a field that can't be reproduced). You can add a social security field and make it your primary key.
Your mysql line might look like this (for a table with 2 fields):
mysql> CREATE TABLE Info( Name varchar(64),
SSN varchar(64) primary key);

Question: What makes of projectors can be connected to MacBook

Question: What makes of projectors can be connected to MacBook, also what kind of cable do I need?

Hi,
Modbus is restricted to addressing 247 devices on one data link, which limits the number of field devices that may be connected to a master station.
However, if you want to increase the number of slaves, you may use MODBUS/TCP.
Here is a link that might help you:
http://modbus.control.com/thread/1026247380.
The Schneider electric 174CEV30010 Modbus to Ethernet bridge is capable of addressing Modbus slaves from 1 to 247.
The actual number of devices which can be physically connected depends on the medium used and not on the fact it is Modbus.
Some examples:
RS232 is a 2 device point to point connection when using copper, however when using fiber (or other modems) it is possible to connect up to the maximum of 247 devices.
RS485 is multi-drop and supports 32 devices on a single network. When a repeater is used, on copper wire, the number of devices can usually be increased to 64.
Hope this helps.

What is the plugin-container.exe file? How do I get rid of it?I keep getting a 70% usage message about this plugin. I tried to delete it but then Firefox won't work.

What is the plugin-container.exe file? It seems to be using 70% of usage of my computer's memory. How do I get rid of it?

What makes a field eligible for selecting data in a subreport?

Hello,
I have posted the following question to [StackOverflow|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4366702/what-makes-a-field-eligible-for-selecting-data-in-a-subreport], but it has so far generated no replies. I decided to cross-post it here to see if I could get a better result.
The TL;DR of it is that I have a field which I should be able to link in my Subreport, but it does not appear, and I was wondering what I need to do to make it appear.
I have a Crystal Report I'm trying to recreate from scratch after an update from VS2008 to VS2010 caused it to implode horribly.
I've gotten most of the way through, but I'm at a stage where I'm linking a field in the Main Report to a corresponding field in the Subreport.
I have set up a bunch of Database fields in the Subreport, I've added the table I want, TableA, I've linked it up as everything was linked in the original report, with TableA at the head of the linking chain, so that all the rows I want can be derived from the result of that first query ( Actually, all of the links from the original Report were red in the Database Fields linking dialog, whereas mine are a bit rainbow-y. All the links in TableA are red, though... _ )
In the "Subreport Links" dialog, I have an integer which I know is being pulled from the database correctly. I've added it in the "Fields to link to" listbox, and selected the newly-created parameter in the "Subreport parameter to use" combobox. I've ticked the "Select data in subreport based on field" checkbox.
The database field I want to link to then does not appear in the second combobox.
Another integer field in TableA shows up fine in the "Select data..." combobox (and is linked to another field being passed in), so I don't know why these two integer fields, which are equally important, and exist on the same level, on the same table, are being treated differently by the report designed.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Here is what I'd do:
1) Download CR 2008 eval designer from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
2) Try the linking in CR 2008 designer
3) If it does not work there, ask why not in the [CR design|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio; forum.
4) If you get the linking working in the CR 200 designer, try to run the report in your VS2010 app (after ensuring the report woks as expected in CR 2008).
5) If (4) above works out for you, please let me know as this may be an issue with CRVS2010.

What makes the separation in VL10X ?

Hi !
It would be big help if you could help me with stock transfer document
(sorry, I don't know how to say in English)
made by ME21N.
I made 2 stock transfer documents by ME21N ,and tried to make delivery document by VL10X,
with the idea that I could make 1 delivery document.
(as 2 stock transfer documents has the same delivery point, plant as Vendor, etc.)
But there are 3 delivery document generated by VL10X.
I wonder what makes this separation !?
thanks in advance.

Dear wazukanahikari,
This delivery split would have happened because of different warehouse number. Warehouse number is assigned to the combination of Plant and Storage Location. Therefore, even if plant is same, there could be delivery split based on warehouse number.
So kindly check if warehouse number is same or different. The setting for the same can be checked using OVLP i.e. delivery item category
Kindly let me know if you get different solution
regards,
sagar
