Where the Thesaurus?
As I start to make the long move from Appleworks to pages, I can't find the Thesaurus.
Should it be close to spelling?
Folks this is bad i can't live without access to a wortking Thesautus
Wanting & waiting....
There is a system-wide dictionary and thesaurus in OS 10.4. You can access it through Dictionary.app in the Applications folder (it also shows thesaurus entries). Alternatively, and much more coolly, you can hover the cursor over a word in any Cocoa application (like Pages), press Command-Control-D, and a small dictionary window will pop up onscreen, with a pull-down menu at the bottom to select the thesaurus entry for that word. You can set the thesaurus to appear by default in the mini-window by using the Dictionary.app preferences. (This mini-window is especially nifty because as along as you leave the keys pressed, you can move the cursor, and it will give you the dictionary entry for the word the cursor is over. It is way cool.)

Where is the thesaurus in Spotlight?
Where is the thesaurus in Spotlight? Is there still a quick to find synonyms in Spotlight?
Before Yosemite, I would constantly use the Thesaurus to find synonyms. Please help.In the Spotlight window double click on the definition
to bring ub the Dictionary/Thesaurus
Or
1 - type dictionary in Spotlight and hit the Enter key to launch the Dictionary,
2 - drag the Dictionary to the Dock and open it from there. -
Unable to use the thesaurus in a relaxation template
I am trying to get a query relaxation template to use the thesaurus but I can't get the syntax correct. Is it possible? If so, please can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?

What is the correct format for the line that will apply the thesaurus synonym between Limited to LTD?There are a lot of things that work well individually, but not in combination with one another. It looks like something goes wrong when you try to combine transform with syn. One possible workaround is to use replace to do your own transformation. Please see the reproduction and solution below.

WHEN I LOGIN AS DIFFERENT USER, IT TAKES ME TO THE SAME PAGE WHERE THE PREV
Hu Gurus,
I log in to portal as user1 and go to a page and then log out of the portal. Then I try to login as user2, it takes me to the same page where the previous user was. It looks like it caches the page information. How can I avoid this. Please post a reply if you have some suggestions.
Thanks
Raj
----------Thanks for checking it, Jason. Yes, the cache settings are for 'Every visit to page'. That was the first thing I thought of. I have a feeling the problem has to do with a cache setting somewhere in our installation. For example, I'm still plagued with a few user accounts returning errors when I try to log in. The users aren't logged in, but when I click "Login" from the Portal Builder page, I see the same error...it's not even letting me get to a login screen. Thanks for all the help. It's great to get some feedback. In the meantime, we'll continue to track it down here.

I want to install Lion on an external hard drive. The OS was purchased and downloaded through the App Store but I do not know where the file is.
If you downloaded the installer it will be in your applications folder. Failing that use spotlight start typing Install and it should show up.
This is assuming you downloaded the installer from the app store, and didn't just install it onto your mac. If all you have done is install it on your mac. Go to your purchases Lion should show up. Then click download.
Here is the Support page for installing osx on an external drive.

how do I share movies/music between my computers. I have opened shared on both computers and both are on, but i am not able to drag anything from one to the other. Does anyone know where the settings button is on the bottom of the itunes screen?
Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ? -

I'm having some difficulty with transferring images from a UDP Client to a UDP Server. The issue is receiving the bytes necessary to update an original image sent from the Client to the Server and updating the Servers List(Of Byte) with the
new bytes replacing bytes in that list. This is a simplex connection where the Sever receives and the Client sends to utilize the least amount of bandwidth for a "Remote Desktop" style application where the Server side needs image updates of whatever
occurs on the Client desktop.
So far I can tranfer images with no issue. The images can be be any image type (.Bmp, .Gif, .JPeg, .Png, etc). I was working with sending .JPeg's as they appear to be the smallest size image when a Bitmap is saved to a memory stream as type
.JPeg. And then I am using GZip to compress that byte array again so it is much smaller. However on a loopback on my NIC the speed for sending a full size screen capture is not very fast as the Server updates fairly slowly unless the Clients screen capture
Bitmap is reduced in size to about 1/3'd of the original size. Then about 12000 bytes or less are sent for each update.
Due to .JPeg compression I suppose there is no way to get the difference in bytes between two .JPegs and only send those when something occurs on the desktop that alters the desktop screen capture image. Therefore I went to using .Bmp's as each
.Bmp contains the same number of bytes in its array regardless of the image alterations on the desktop. So I suppose the difference in bytes from a second screen capture and an inital screen capture are what is different in the second image from the initial
image.
What I have done so far is save an initial Bitmap of a screen capture using a memory stream and saving as type .Bmp which takes less than 93 milliseconds for 4196406 bytes. Compressing that takes less than 118 milliseconds to 197325 bytes for
the current windows on the desktop. When that is done PictureBox1 is updated from nothing to the captured image as the PictureBox's background image with image layout zoom and the PictureBox sized at 1/2 my screens width and 1/2 my screens height.
Then I save a new Bitmap the same way which now contains different image information as the PictureBox is now displaying an image so its back color is no longer displayed (solid color Aqua) and the cursor has moved to a different location. The
second Bitmap is also 4196406 in bytes and compressed it was 315473 bytes in size.
I also just found code from this link Converting a Bitmap to a Byte Array (and Byte Array to Bitmap) which gets a byte array
directly from a Bitmap and the size of that is 3148800 for whatever is full screen captured on my laptop. So I should be able to work with smaller byte arrays at some point.
The issue I'm having is that once the Client sends an image of the desktop to the Server I only want to update the server with any differences occuring on the Clients desktop. So what I have done is compare the first screen captures bytes (stored
in a List(Of Byte)) to the second screen captures bytes (stored in a List(Of Byte)) by using a For/Next for 0 to 4196405 where if a byte in the first screen captures List is not equal to a byte in the second screen captures List I add the index and byte of
the second screen captures list to a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). The Dictionary then only contains the indexes and bytes that are different between the first screen capture and second screen capture. This takes about 125 milliseconds which I think is pretty
fast for 4196406 byte comparison using a For/Next and adding all the different bytes and indexes for each byte to a Dictionary.
The difference in Bytes between the inital screen capture and the second screen capture is 242587 as an example which changes of course. For that amount of bytes the Dictionary contains 242587 integers as indexes and 242587 bytes as different
bytes totaling 485174 bytes for both arrays (keys, values). Compressed the indexes go from 242587 to 43489 bytes and the values go from 242587 to 34982 bytes. Which means I will have to send 78, 481 bytes from the Client to the Server to update the display
on the server. Quite smaller than the original 4196406 bytes of the second Bitmap saved to type .Bmp or the compressed size of that array which was 315473 bytes. Plus a few bytes I add as overhead so the server knows when an image array ends and how many packets
were sent for the array so it can discard complete arrays if necessary since UDP is lossfull although probably not so much in current networks like it may originally have been when the internet started.
In reality the data from the Client to the Server will mostly be the cursor as it moves and updating the Server image with only a few hundred bytes I would imagine at a time. Or when the cursor selects a Button for example and the Buttons
color changes causing those differences in the original screen capture.
But the problem is if I send the Dictionaries Indexes and Bytes to the Server then I need to update the original Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server by removing the Bytes in the received informations Index locations array from the Servers Bitmap
List(Of Byte) and replacing those Bytes with the Bytes in the received informations Byte array. This takes so long using a For/Next for however many indexes are in the received informations Index array to update the Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server using
"Bmp1Bytes.RemoveAt(Index As Integer)" followed by "Bmp1Bytes.Insert(Index As Integer, Item As Byte)" in the For/Next.
I've tried various For/Next statements including using a new List(Of Byte) with If statements so If the the integer for the For/Next ='s the Key in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) using a Counter to provide the Dictionaries Key value then
the Dictionaries byte value will be added to the List(Of Byte) and the counter will increas by one Else the List(Of Byte) adds the original "Bmp1Bytes" byte at that index to the new List(Of Byte). This takes forever also.
I also tried the same For/Next adding to a new Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) but that takes forever too.
I think I could use RemoveRange and AddRange to speed things up. But I don't know how to retrieve a contiguous range of indexes in the received indexes that need to be updated in the servers "Bmp1Bytes" List(Of Byte) from the received
array of indexes and bytes which are in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). But I believe this would even be slower than some realistic method for replacing all Bytes in a List(Of Byte) when I have the indexes that need to be replaced and the bytes to replace
them with.
Even if I just used AddRange on a new List(Of Byte) to add ranges of bytes from the original "Bmp1Bytes" and the changes from the Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) I think this would be rather slow. Although I don't know how to do that
by getting contiguous ranges of indexes from the Dictionaries keys.
So I was wondering if there is some method perhaps using Linq or IEnumerable which I've been unable to figure anything out which could do this.
I do have some copy and pasted code which I don't understand how it works that I am using which I would guess could be altered for doing something like this but I can't find information that provides how the code works. Or even if I did
maybe I can't understand it. Like the code below which is extremely fast.
Dim strArray() As String = Array.ConvertAll(Of Integer, String)(BmpComparisonDict.Keys.ToArray, Function(x) x.ToString())
La vida locaMonkeyboy,
That was quite a bit to read, but still a bit unclear. Could you put a specific list of goals/questions, asked in the smallest possible form?
It seems like either you're making a program that monitors activity on your computer, or you're writing some kind of remote pc app.
When you do get your bytes from using lockbits, keep in mind all the files header info would be lost. I think retaining the header info is worth the extra bytes.
The other, thing: I'm not sure if you're taking 32bpp screen shots, but also keep in mind that the "whole desktop" is the final destination for blended graphics, if that makes sense. What I mean is that there is no need to capture an "alpha"
channel for a desktop screenshot, as alpha would always be 255, this could save you 1 byte per pixel captured... Theres nothing "behind" the desktop, therefore no alpha, and every window shown above the desktop is already blended. I suggest using
24Bpp for a full screen capture.
Your X,Y information for the mouse could be stored as UINT16, this would save you a measly 2 bytes per location update/save.
When you update your byte arrays, maybe you can turn the array into a stream and write to whatever index, however many bytes, that should prevent a "Shift" of bytes, and instead overwrite any bytes that "get in the way".
ex
Dim example As String = "This is an example."
Dim insertString As String = "was"
Dim insertBytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(insertString)
Dim bytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(example)
Dim modifiedBytes As Byte() = {}
Using ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(bytes)
ms.Position = 5
ms.Write(insertBytes, 0, 3)
modifiedBytes = ms.ToArray
End Using
Dim newString As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(modifiedBytes)
'Notice how below there isn't the word "is" anymore, and that there isn't a
'space.
'This demonstrates that you overwrite existing data, versus shifting everything to
'the right.
'Returns: This wasan example.

Well it's too much to read. I was really tired when I wrote it. Even the below is too much to read but perhaps gets the point across of what I would like to do which I think
Joel Engineer may have answered but I'm not sure. As I'm still too tired to understand that yet and research what he said in order to figure it out yet.
But maybe the code below can provide the concept of the operation with the comments in it. But seeing as how I'm still tired it may be confused.

I have to make lots of speech bubbles (150+) that all have texts inside them which differ in length. I want the speech bubbles to look the same in terms of style, but I need different sizes of course for each text. This means that the rectangular part of the speech bubble should adapt in length and width to the text inside it, while the "arrow" pointing towards where the bubble is coming from (e.g. the person who speaks) should stay the same on every bubble. So is there a way or a workaround to make such "adapting" speech bubbles?
I appreciate any kinds of help
Thanks in advance!Here's another way I found:
1. Draw a speech bubble. Mine is a rectangle with rounded corners and a triangular pointer added with Pathfinder > Add
2. Drag out a frame the same size as the speech bubble. Select the speech bubble and Copy; then select the empty frame and choose Edit > Paste Into...
3. Alt-Drag the frame with the pasted speech bubble to make a copy, then crop one copy to leave only the top of the bubble showing, and crop the other copy to leave only the bottom.
4. Drag out a text frame and insert a table consisting of 1 column, 3 rows. Set the text frame to Autosize > Height Only.
5. Set the stroke/fill of the top and bottom rows to none, and style the middle row to match the speech bubble, (in my case a white fill and 2pt stroke; left and right).
6. Anchor (paste) a copy of the speech bubble top in the top table row, and a copy of the speech bubble bottom in the bottom row.
Getting the 3 parts to match up with is where you just have to work on it until you get it right. Use the positioning tools in Anchored Object options and the column width setting in Cell options to line everything up.
Enter your text in the middle row. (Hey, look at that...a valid application of Comic Sans!) With the Cell Height set to an "At Least" setting, the cell will expand to fit whatever text you enter, pushing the the bottom row down, with the text frame auto-sizing to keep everything in play... -
OBIEE 11g after expand Hierarchy Columns move the page to where the expand was clicked
Hi,
I have a question about expanding the hierarchy columns.
I have made so that some information are only show when press the + sign to expand extra information.
The problem I am having is that when the + sign is pressed to expand the content, the whole page get refresh and move back to the top of the page.
Is there a way to stay where the screen was after expanding, instead of going back to the top of page?
Thanks in advance.Hi Niraj,
I think you are on 11.1.1.5 + version here. Now, that you have two security realms configured (one for AD and one default), please add one more parameter virtualize = true in the EM (just the page where you added user.name etc).
This parameter would help BI Server recognize the two realms set up here.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

I recently migrated my MacBook from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8, using the Snow Leopard CD I purchased from Apple. Since then I have noticed a strange ozone smell coming from the MacBook in the area where the hinges are to open and close the unit. I was told by Apple that it probably is not serious and is coming from the fans in the MacBook. It is true that the smell/odor is more intense when the fans are working. Apple said I should take the MacBook to an Apple Store to have the hardware checked out. Everything seems to be working correctly. I am backing up automatically wirelessly to a Time Capsule, which I had not done until recently, although I had purchased the Time Capsule in 2009. I have not noticed this odor before. Does anyone suspect something more serious that may be going on?
You may be smelling it because with the new OS the processor is having to work harder causing it to get hotter then it would with the other OS. I can't say there is nothing wrong, but what could be happening is just that, it's getting hotter so the fan is spinning faster and moving more air so you are getting more of the smell then you would before. I would still continue to back it up, and take it to the Apple Store at a Genius Bar and have them look at it to make sure. Was the computer ever in a smoky environment??
