White spaces instead of thumbnails?

Why are some photos showing up as white spaces (instead of thumbnails) until I double-click on them?

Try to repair your Photos Library.
To repair hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the Photos Library to launch the Photos Library First aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
The select "Repair".
But make a current backup of your Photos Library before you try this.

White space instead of videos

When I try to watch a video or listen to any music that would require flash, I have a box asking to allow it. When I do, I just get a blank space instead of where the video would usually be.
I recently did a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04, so I have the latest versions of Firefox and Adobe Flash. I have installed the extras for media on Ubuntu, including ubuntu-restricted-extras, and have followed the instructions here: Flash Player Help. At the bottom of that screen, I don't see clouds, only white space. The same happens here: Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Global Privacy Settings Panel
Any help please? I have tried everything on other forums. Thank you!

Possible to reduce the amount of white space in thumbnail view?

Hi, after following these directions to generate large thumbnail views, there is still a lot of white space surrounding the thumbnails - I'm wondering if this could be significantly diminished, to allow more images, closer together.
thanks
1. Open a folder containing images
2. Hit Command-F, then select the folder instead of the idiotic default This Mac in Find toolbar
3. From the View toolbar item select Icon
4. For the criterion select Kind Images All
5. At the bottom right corner of the window there is a size slider, use it to make them any size you want, they seem to max out around 450 pixels, which is a pretty fair size

While Apple appears to making the transition to 512x512 thumbs, there are only a few things that currently have icons of that size. Most are 128x128, so even though it is possible to do a hack to make Finder display larger thumbs, it is actually pretty pointless as most icons just get bigger and jaggier.
What happens with the Saved Search is that Finder does not use the "regular" icons, but draws its own from the file, and thus you get thumbs up to what will, one day, be the new standard of 512. AFAIK the only way to access these is thru the Saved Search, and, as you discovered, there is no adjustment for grid spacing in the Saved Search window.

How to extract ALL text on a line, including extra white space, from PDF?

I have written my first scripts to parse thru PDF files and successfully locate the beginning and ending of text portions that I wish to copy/extract. For example, one of the scripts reads thru PDF files and locates patterns that allow me to copy/extract a lengthy Title that spans several lines on the page. My remaining problem is that sometimes the text I wish to copy/extract has tabs or lots of white space between the words, and I need to retain ALL the "white space" between words. Basically, I am successful at using getPageNthWord(j, i, false) along with "Quad coordinate sets" to get a word-at-a-time for all the words on the multiple lines but it seems to be skipping over the tabs and extra white spacing beetween the words. Another way to say this is that I need to extract/copy a full line at a time, including all white space, instead of being limited to just a word at a time.
Can anyone help me with an algorithm to extract/copy text, not just the words but also including tabs and other extra white space characters? Is there some type of Regular Expression I should be using, or maybe some additional parameter used for getPageNthWord that would retain all the extra white space?
Thanks in advance,
Ted L

Did you try setting the bStrip parameter of getPageNthWord to false? It will
preserve some of the whitespace, but not all of it.
As far as I know, that's the only way to do it via a script.

White space/margin around images in onClick popup windows

Hi. I'm using a JavaScript function that comes with
dreamweaver so what when users click on thumbnail images, a larger
window pops up with the image. Here's the function:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Here's an example of how I'm using it in the code:
<a href="javascript:;"><img
src="dr_chm_allrgt_200x281.jpg" width="200" height="281" border="0"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('dr_chm_allrgt_400x300.jpg','','width=300,height=400')"
/></a>
This works great, except for one thing: the image doesn't
appear in the very top left-hand corner of the pop-up window --
there's some white space around it, and the right and bottom edges
of the image are cut off, because they don't fit in the pop-up
window. I'm wondering, is there some way around this problem,
that's less messy than changing the width and height that I'm
passing to the function every time?
Thanks

You are opening an image directly in the browser -
MM_openBrWindow('dr_chm_allrgt_400x300.jpg'
In that case, you have no control over how the browser
displays the image.
To get control, you would have to open an HTML page that
contains the image
instead of opening the image directly.
There are extensions that will do this for you on the fly -
the one I use is

     <h2>Dog Training Testimonials<br />
       </h2>
     <p>Sending Otis to Brian for the board and train program was the best decision I ever made. After being told Otis could not be helped and that he should be put down, I was devastated. Otis has now been back from Brian's program for a few weeks and is extremely obedient and friendly. He is the same puppy we brought home a couple years ago, but calmer and without any aggression. We work on Otis' obedience daily as well as walk him and put him on the treadmill.   Thanks to Brian, our dog is happy-go-lucky and more approachable. The list goes on and on of how Brian has helped the family, myself, and especially Otis. If you are having issues with your dog, especially behavior and aggression problems, my advice to you is to trust Brian. Your dog will be in good hands with a safe, reliable, responsible, dog lover that will treat your dog like his own.<br />

The issue with that white space is explained by the use of relative positioning of your menu. Remember that relative positioning visually allows you to move an element, but that its "shadow" or "foot print" is retained in the document flow. So it still takes up space where it originally flowed in your content, and this causes the header image to position itself the way it does. Turn off the relative positioning of the menu to see what I mean. A simple solution is to set the #header to relative positioning, and then apply absolute positioning to the menu.
There are other issues with your code. Much of it can be simplified, and you should really stop using ID selectors from this point on, and predominantly use classes instead. The use of ID selectors ought to be limited as much as you can - they force you to write bloated convoluted code.
Try to write DryCSS (Don't Repeat Yourself).
Here is my somewhat cleaned up code. Notice I removed and simplified most of the css selectors. Some have no css properties at all anymore. And be careful that you cannot use re-use the same id selector in your html code: it will not validate. #program1 must become .program1
PS as always, please backup your files before applying these changes! Dreamweaver lacks a history/versioning feature!

IE 11 white space problem

I created a page with dreamweaver. It renders as intended in firefox but shows unwanted white space in ie 11.
How do I fix this?
Here is the page in firefox:

Give <div class="container"> the same blue background color as your right side bar.
You'll notice in IE some of the spacing for the rest of your page is slightly larger than in Firefox (browsers do that a lot if you aren't very, very specific about sizes). Because of that, your side bar isn't long enough to fill in the space on that side and the background color of the "container" <div> shows through.

Bottom White Space

On my website you can see that there is white space at the bottom but it ends just short of the true bottom, is there anyway I can make this so white continues down all the way?

Well its the 'footer' <div> and the <div> before that which need some attention.
Add the below to your css styles:
.footer {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #fff;
.footer p {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
Then remove the "push" <div> completely:
<div class="push"></div>
<div class="footer">

</div>
To just leave:
<div class="footer">

Should I overprint to avoid white space between colors when printing?

Hello all,
I hope I don't get slammed for posting the wrong way! But I'll try.
I print on a Summa DC4 thermal printer which prints one color at a time.
I am using Illy CS4 with a cmyk document, all vectors.
My Question is:
Should I overprint to avoid white space between colors?
CMYK document (But only the YMK will print) which contains:
100% black background (rectangle)
0% (white) Copy
and Red (star) - 100% yellow x 100% magenta
printed on white vinyl.
the red object (star in this case) should bleed or overprint into the black background. Instead I get almost a white outline around the red star where the registration was minutely off.
How can I avoid this from happening? By setting the yellow & magenta to overprint? I don't want the black to subtract the red object (star)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
C.

I am unfamiliar with the Summa printer, but it sounds like there is no built-in provision for trapping.
In that case, you should stroke the red star with the same color as the fill (100M + 100Y) and set only the stroke to overprint. That way, you still knock out the star area from the black background, but you've created the necessary spread trap to deal with the slight misregistration. Use the smallest possible stroke weight needed to solve your problem.

PDF Report adding white spaces

NEVER MIND.... Why is their no DEL option... Added fm in front of MONTH ('DD fmMONTH YY') and its fixed.
I have a report that goes to a PDF based on a RTF template. On the Dates, the XML Feed looks fine, but when it generates the PDF it is adding random white spaces in the date.
XML Feed:
<REPORT_DATE>31 AUGUST 09</REPORT_DATE>
<ORDER_DATE>19 AUGUST 09</ORDER_DATE>
PDF Returns:
Dated 19 AUGUST 09
31 AUGUST 10
so the year is seperated from the month. The SQL is a TO_CHAR(ORDER_DATE, 'DD MONTH YY') and so on...
Any thoughts from anyone??? Please.....

Scan From String White Space

i all,
I'm trying to use Scan From String in order to parse some data coming in from UDP.
Input String: ASCII [00 01 02 03 ... FF]
What I want: s[00 .. 30] d[12], d[34], d[56] leftover s[37 38 39 ... FF]
ATTEMPT1
Format String: %49s%2d%2d%2d
What I get: s[00-09] RUNTIME ERROR!
ATTEMPT2
Format String: %49[^]%2d%2d%2d
What I get: Only allows first output. Will error out if I use any additional outputs from Scan From String
ATTEMPT3
Format String: %49[^(0xFF)]%2d%2d%2d Value in () is ASCII character FF.
What I get: s[00 .. 30] d[12], d[34], d[56] leftover s[37 38 39 ... FF]
It appears as though when I use %##[^] it thinks I'm looking for the ENTIRE string so it will not let me add any more Formatting. If I add a delimiter other than ^ it will run, and it will work presuming that character isn't within the first 49 characters... and I can't guarentee that it won't.
I'm aware I can parse my string using subsets and whatnot... but Scan From String is so elegant. It would be great if %S allowed for white space... or if $##[^] would simply take the first ## characters and allow me to Format after that.
Is there a simple, elegant way to do this? I wish my dataset was only 3-4 outputs. It'd be ideal if I could. Thanks.
Edit:
It might be more helpful if I provide a less abstract example:
I have an ASCII Header (Finite Length String), a Sender IP (Finite Length String), a Timestamp, a Message ID (Finite Length Decimal), A Message in ASCII ( '1' actually means 0x31, not 0x01) And for some ungodly reason... no delimiters.
So I was HOPING %##s%##s%<%H:%M:%s>t%##d (With leftover string to be my message) would work, but if any white space is contained within there... it messes up.

I cannot provide exact strings because the string is actually ASCII characters, most of which aren't displayable.
I have a string where I have:
24 ASCII Characters representing 6x U32 Header Data
13 ASCII characters represening the sender IP (string)
12 ASCII Characters representing the name of the message (String)
12 ASCII Characters representing 3x U32 Data
12 ASCII Characters represneting the name of packet (String)
12 ASCII Characters representing 12x U8 Data
256 ASCII Characters represening 256x U8 Data
etc...
It would be ideal to simply Scan from the string and output the data with the appropriate data types already assigned instead of splitting string and type casting each individualy. But if, for example, my header starts with an ASCII representation of a U32 of 2560(decimal) it would look like this: [00][00][0A][00]. ASCII 0A is considered white space. So my header would only contain 2 ASCII characters instead of the desired 24.

main content. I read through fixes in the forum and took out any
height that would effect this gap. I still can't get rid of this
white space. Your help is greatly appreciated! Here's the Code:

Just because something is created in DW CS3 doesn't mean it's
not a
disaster, any more than using DeWalt power tools guarantees
that my
carpentry won't be a complete mess. The software is not a
replacement for
skills. It is a tool; your workflow and understanding of HTML
and CSS is
what allows you to use DW effectively.
So why did I call this page a disaster? When I see all that
extra markup,
spans, and inline tags, I shudder. It's way too hard to
troubleshoot. You're
not doing nearly enough with descendant selectors; instead,
most of your
code is inline, despite a huge CSS file.
Just one example: individual li tags with div align="center"
inside of them.
Way overkill. If you're centering all the li text in a given
list, control
it with CSS and kill all that extra markup.
E.g.
.MenuBarHorizontal li { text-align:center; }
In fact, if all there is in that .MenuBarHorizontal is the
list, you don't
even need to specify the list in the CSS. Just do:
.MenuBarHorizontal { text-align:center; }
Now you don't need div tags inside your li at all.
And if all of those a tags in that menu are going to be
.style16 class,
don't specify it on each link. In fact, don't even have a
.style 16 class.
Heck, since it's just specifying font size, you don't need to
target the a
tag at all. Just add font-size:x-small; to the
.MenuBarHorizontal ruleset I
gave you above.
The above are just examples from a quick glance at your code.
On the whole,
your markup and approach to styles are largely wasting the
power and point
of CSS.
In addition, several styles spanned onto one line of text...
a sure sign
that either you are using far too many styles to make design
sense, or else
you've got styles that overlap each other.
Here's my advice: Until you get a better handle on CSS, don't
style things
as you go. Forget styles altogether at the start. Create a
very clean HTML
markup and put ID and class selectors on things you know will
need them.
Preferably, place the HTML elements in the order you would
want your page
read if styling did not even exist, nesting elements where
necessary.
After you have created all the HTML structure, then go back
and style the
elements via CSS only. You will end up with less page weight
and far cleaner
code to decipher, not simply in terms of length but in terms
of conflicts
and redundancies.
If you're really insistent on styling things as you go, at
least do this:
don't create a new style every time you want to accomplish
something. Create
CSS rules for IDed containers and container classes. Then as
you go along
and are about to create a style, ask yourself where you are
and what all
this new rule needs to apply to. Specify the rule there,
under the selector
you've already created. Then you won't have .style1 -
.style16 like you do
now, and you won't have all that inline mess of code to sort
through.
Finally - as you create your CSS, discipline yourself to
avoid style spans.
They are necessary on the odd occasion, but very rarely.
Think semantically
(i.e. purpose of the style point you're making at a given
time).
For example, if you're tempted to create a span in order to
put something in
bold red, ask yourself: "Why?" Generally, it means you want
to place special
emphasis or strength on that. Well, in that case you don't
need a span. You
need to be using the proper tag, such as <em>
(emphasis) or <strong>. Then
you can style that tag in CSS. That way, what you have in
your page actually
makes sense apart from the style, and as a bonus you can
apply or edit your
style easily.

Conditional Build Tab for image leaves extra white space

I've applied the "Print" Conditional Build Tag to an image in
my online help. When I generate the help and view it in the
browser, extra white space is inserted between the steps. For
example, instead of the steps being:
1.
2.
3. etc.
They now look like this:
1.
2.
3. etc.
Why is there extra white space where the image used to be?
Thanks in advance for your help. Using RoboHelp7 -- WebHelp.
Bill

Probably there is a paragraph break or a space that you can't
see but is not enclosed in the conditional tag.
Check the html code immediately before and after the tag.

Extra White Space from Hidden Menu Bar

This seems to be a problem introduced by LV 2013. I have a VI that runs with the menu bar hidden. When I hit ctrl-m to see how it looks in run mode, it looks fine. When I run the VI, instead of fully hiding the menu bar, it leaves white space. This only seems to be a problem when the VI is the top level. When the VI is opened from another VI, it looks fine. I've attached screenshots when the VI is running as a top level, ctrl-m is used and running when launched from another VI. This was not an issue in LV 2012. It's only been a problem since switching to 2013.
Solved!

Greetings thutch79,
I replicated the settings shown at Window Appearance Dialog.png on a new VI, ran it, and did not reproduce the problem.
I wonder if you experience the same behavior with a new VI? If not, you can copy paste the code to a new VI to fix a potential corruption issue.

White spaces instead of thumbnails?
