Window order
It's very probable that Adobe Reader can do the basic and important thing i'm looking for, but i have not found the way.
I need the window choices to be ordered
by the doc names (ie alpha-numerically), instead of
by the history of which doc was opened first, second, etc.
Does anyone know how to do that?
Thank you in advance.
details:
- I have Adobe Reader 9.5.2 and Windows 7.
- I have looked fairly carefully in the menu options (e.g. in: Edit: Preferences) and in the Help.
The lists of currently-open files on the Window menu (and the Recent Files list on the File menu) cannot be sorted any other way.

Window order is wrong when switching Spaces
When I switch from one space to anther using the cntl arrow keyboard shortcut the window order in the new space is invariably messed up. It is just the display of the windows though and not the order that the OS thinks they are in.
For example if I switch to a space with Mail.app I often get the main Mail viewer window but if I go into the Window menu the email message I was working on is checked in the menu.
If I switch to a space with two apps the previously frontmost app is no longer displayed as being in front but it is actually still active.
Anyone know what the solution to this problem is?First off, I meant to title this "When switching spaces application window is not showing."
Just in case anyone else runs into this problem or any other weirdness with switching between spaces, the answer seems to be trashing the com.apple.dock.plist file and then restarting the dock. The preferences file can evidentially get corrupted and create some problems. Spaces does not have it's own plist file but stores it's data in the dock's plist file. Be warned that this will reset all of your dock preferences including which apps you have on the dock.

Hi there,
I have suffered from this for a while. After some in-depth search, I still couldn't solve the problem:
when I close a window, the expected window in focus should be the last window shown before the closed one. This is what all popular window-based desktop environments do (kde, gnome2, microsoft windows...). But this doesn't work in my archlinux gnome3. Some random window was in focus and at front of my eyes.
Also, alt-tab is weird. The rotational order of windows is in chaos.
For example: suppose I was in firefox, and had another terminal window. Then I launched thunderbird. Then I pressed alt+tab, I thought I should change to firefox again, because that was the last place where I was. But, unexpectedly, I might end up in the terminal window.
Anyone can help?
UPDATE:
another example: when I type 'gvim' or 'gedit' from gnome terminal, the new window appears but quickly hides into the background, leaving another window in focus.

An extension for 'fixing' the alt+tab behaviour can be found here.
I'm not aware of a solution to the windows order but it may be worth checking out the other extensions on that site.
I've tried that one, but it merely provides the traditional way of switching between windows.
My problem really looks more like a bug. -
Kan anyone tell me how to get the order of the java windows i have created.
Witch one is on top of the other ? I kan get all the Frames with "Frame.getFrames()", but I need a way of telling witch is on top of the other, without losing the Window focus of the focused window. This would make an awfull display for the user, so I can't transfer the window focus until i "hit" the window.
A method returning a boolean " isWindowOnTop(Window test_window, Window compare_to) " would be perfect.
I have been looking at KeyboardFocusManager but I don't see how it would do it for me.
any ideas ?So i could write a "window layer manager" that would keep track of the window order. Every time a hierarchyChanged it would update its window order, and then you could ask it about the window order.
That might work. - Please let me know if I misunderstod and you had other in mind.
Is there an easyer and more "safe" way ? -
Window Order with Fullscreen Projector file
For Actionscript 2.0
I have a projector exe which is invoked full screen.
In the exe I have a button which invokes a URL using the
getURL command. This link gets invoked in the browser window in the
background and since the projector exe is playing fullscreen I dont
see the browser.
I am looking for a way to invoke this url so that it gets
invoked on top of this window(in front of this window in terms of
window order). see code below...
this.createEmptyMovieClip("loader_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
fscommand("fullscreen",true);
loader_mc.getURL("
http://www.macromedia.com",
"_blank");
The

Firefox v14.0.1, WinXP, changes window order on FF restart
A similar question was asked about 4 months ago, with no confirmed answer: after a FF 14.0.1 restart (say, after a crash or when the Firefox task is terminated from Task Manager), the ORDER of the restored windows is different than it was at shutdown.
In some cases it appears the first window (the one at the bottom of the Windows taskbar display for FF windows) at restart is that which was the active window when Firefox stopped. Otherwise, the order can sometimes seem unpredictable.
(Let's say I have 5 FF windows open, each with a list of specific tabs, and assume they are shown as the taskbar in a popup as:
5
4
3
2
1
What I want is for FF to behave as it used to following a crash or restart, and PRESERVE this order, instead of transforming it to, say,
5
4
2
1
3)
Surely this should be the default behavior? If not, how I can I remedy this?
Thanks in advance.Hi,
The session information is [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.interval by default saved every 15 seconds]. The active window is saved as '''selectedWindow''' in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sessionstore.js sessionstore.js]. If for ex. we change the active window but Firefox is force closed before the next 15 secs the information may not be updated. Please note that this is not a technical explanation, just a thought :) One way you could check is by reducing the time of '''browser.sessionstore.interval''', change to a new Window, wait for the time to elapse and force close Firefox.

Morning All
Hopefully a quick one for you.
Is there a way of calling a window before the MAIN window. It seems this is always called first and then the subsequent windows (which can be called explicitly via the CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'.)
Cheers
IanHi and thanks for your replies
We do not get an error, the situation is that we using the SAPSCript Raw Data Interface to pass the data to HP. We want to declare a window that will act as a placeholder for global data that will get processed first. However, in the RDI spool output, MAIN is always the first window to get processed when it is on the page, otherwise, the windows are processed implicitly in alphabetical order.
A rather complicated scenario but any help would really be appreciated!!
Thanks

Window order question when using Full screen
Hello all,
This is my first time posting.. Probably many more to come.. But this is probably a really easy question. I am really new to Cocoa and am picking it up slowly one step at a time.
I am making an application where I need a full screen animation to work with. I have been able to get that up and running and have been able to use a keyboard event to toggle the window to go to full screen and back to window size. However, once I go from the window (which when the app starts is window size) to full screen then back to window I cannot go back into full screen without reselecting that window. What can I do to get it so it will go back and forth all day without having to physically click the window? I have tried using the [self becomeFirstResponder] after it exits full screen and didn't help. I am using the [self enterFullScreenMode:[NSScreen mainScreen] withOptions:nil]. This will be on a MacMini installed kind of like a kiosk so it won't have a keyboard and mouse at all times.. And I might be only using the apple remote or something like that for control.
Thanks for your help!!Hi speluttiero!
I've got the exact same problem, with MacBook Pro Core i5. 64 bit Windows 7 in Boot Camp.
It even crashes the whole Windows every now and then when playing flash full screen.. screen goes blank, some strage noise from speakers, and then requires reboot. Anyone any idea what's the problem? -
Hi,
I get the following error when trying to ship confirm the order: Error: The action can not be performed because the selected records are not eligible.

Note 843408.1:
To workaround this issue, manually close all of the sequence on the Associated Trip Stop.
Once this is done, the Interface Trip Stop program should automatically run which should then interface all of the lines.
To manually close the sequence on the Trip Stop
Query the order
Click on Path by Trips tab
Go to sequence 10
Do an update status to Arrive
Then close it
I can update the status to "Arrive", but I cannot close the line. And, I cannot update the status for Sequence 20.
I do not think that Note 453414.1 applies because this is not an internal sales order.
Note 783074.1 suggests that the delivery be reopened. This is the same advice given in Note 781923.1 which brought me back to my starting point.
Thanks for your help, and I look forward to your reply! -

Spaces bringing wrong windows to front
Hello.
I love using multiple spaces when I work. This is one of the reasons that brought me to Mac.
But, there is an issue which I encounter since the beginning and which I can't stand anymore: often, when I come back to a space, the windows order is changed.
For example: I have one space with xCode IDE, xCode Documentation (which is actually the same application), and the iPhone Simulator. In an other space, I have iTunes, Skype and all stuff which are not related to work. When I switch to iTunes, then switch back to xCode, very often, the Documentation and the iPhone simulator, which were behind, come up to the front.
This happen 90% of the time, and is really annoying when you use spaces a lot.
Is this a normal behavior? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Could I fix it?
I'm running OSX 10.6.7, but this happen since the beginning.
Thanks.I am having the exact issue on two separate machines. Would love to know if someone else has a fix for this. Thanks!

New windows don't open on top?
When I click on a link in another application, Safari 4.0.4 opens the new window at some random layer amongst all my other Safari Windows. AppleScript also reports the front window to be some seemingly random window and not necessarily the frontmost one. Bringing a new window to the front doesn't seem to change the indexes of the windows in AppleScript. This can't possibly be expected behavior is it?
(I've uninstalled Glims and Click2Flash and that hasn't made a difference.)

Why are you opening everything in a new window, instead of a new Tab?
Because that is my preference.
AppleScript also reports the front window to be some seemingly random window and not necessarily the frontmost one.
AppleScript doesn't report anything; it's a scripting language to automate functions.
I get the impression you're not familiar with Safari or Macs in general, as your description of a problem doesn't make sense. We need more details.
(Umm... I've been a software engineer programming the Mac platform for more than 15 years including being responsible for the AppleScript support for a major application. I've also been using and occasionally scripting Safari since it was first released.)
The script:
tell application "Safari"
get properties of front window
end tell
shows that the window Safari thinks is the front window (i.e. the window whose index is 1) is some random window that may or may not be the actual frontmost window (i.e. the one currently visually frontmost in the application). The windows should be indexed frontmost to rearmost.
It would seem likely that this problem is related to the fact that when clicking on a url in a Mail message, for instance, the window is opened at some seemingly random location in the window order. Sometimes that is on top, but often the window is buried beneath other open Safari windows.
I apologize for my previous lack clarity. I hope this will enable someone to shed some light on the issue. Thanks.

IPad Videos touchscreen unresponsive to show video controls
Hello,
I've searched the archives thoroughly on this one and have found others with the same problem, but no solution. When using the Videos app, after a video has been playing for more than a couple of seconds the touchscreen becomes completely unresponsive, and I cannot bring up the video controls (pause, etc.) The only option I have at this point is the home button.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
BTW my iOS version is 3.2.1.
Thanks!Last night I downloaded flipboard and I messed up the window order (prompt should have been active but the app behind the alert prompt was actually active, really strange) and i count not use the touchscreen at all even when I left the app. I toggled the screen and it all came back.
