Window size settings ignored
Hi,
I'm using RoboHelp for Word 8 to generate HTML format output on Windows XP SP3.
I set the main window as 'maximize'. When I generate the output within RoboHelp, the window is maximised. Excellent.
When I double-click on the CHM it isn't maximized. It retains the size settings greyed out in RoboHelp.
What's gone wrong?
Thanks
If I understand you correctly, I think this is just Windows trying to be smart. When you close a window in any application, Windows remembers the size and position, so the next time you open it, it's in the same place with the same size and state. So, the first time your users open the CHM file, it will be maximized, but then when they close it, Windows will remember the size it was when they closed it.

After upgrading to FF 10.0, my window sizes are not correct. I use a web-based invoicing system and my invoice windows used to open to the size of the invoice. Now, it opens invoices in full screen. I need the invoice windows to open the way the site tells them to open. How do I make that happen again and never change after that?

Export to PDF ignores document size settings?
I have several documents in InDesign CS4 and when I export them to PDF the document size changes.
I have set all the following options to A4 (210x297mm):
In Indesign: File->Document Settings
In Windows->Printer settings->Adobe PDF->Paper Size
After exporting and opening in Reader 9 the document size has changed to 210 x 303.3mm
This then requires a tweak before the first print run.
I should be able to just export to production and they can print from the PDF without checking the settings!
What have I missed?I am using the export option not printing to PDF.

Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot
I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080
when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.
In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.
I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.
It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8
Only solution I found is turn off
"Turn on fast start-up".
When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.
But it'll make my boot time longer.
It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.
So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1
Best regardsThank you for reply.
I've already used the latest graphic card driver. But It's won't help this issue.
In registry editor. I check those variables then value of them is already set like that blog suggest.
So , it look like when windows start-up(with fast start-up) It use something like
suggest value for different monitor size instead of what I set in control panel. But when I turn off fast start-up windows use my setting value.
And I think there are a lot of people who got the same problem as me.
Here is an example.

3rd Party VSTi Settings Window Size
I'm not the first person to talk about this, it is mentioned in the last post of this topic
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c054712
To save you checking and me re-describing this is the quote
> I have more of a question about VSTi settings windows sizing.
It appears all of my RGC audio VSTi plugins (Rapture, DimensionPro, and Z3TA+) are not displaying the window at the same size as it does in other hosts. This makes it difficult to manipulate the various parameters available for the plugin. Since all of my other VSTi plugins appear to be working, it must be something that is being communicated back to Audition from the VST scan process. I will be happy to open a bug report with Cakewalk if I know what to tell them as far as what the problem is.
And from what I can see no-where else on the forum mentions anything of the like. I am referring to the same plugins as Dennis.
Oh and to save any questions I'm running;
Audition 3 (Obviously, in this forum)
Windows XP Pro
2gb ram
Quad Core 2.4ghz
Soundblaster Audigy 4 Pro
(I sincerely doubt the last 3 things are important)
Thank you,
AleksI'm having the same problem! HELLO AUDITION STAFF: The vsti settings window needs to be made resizeable!! We can't change settings for vstis that don't fit in your default window size!

Power Manager settings ignored by Windows 7 (Thinkpad X201)
Hi,
even when I have set "Change when computer sleeps" to "Never" for both "AC" and "Battery", the system sleeps as set in the Windows 7 own Control Panel - Power Options settings. Why do I need to set one setting on two different places? What is the benefit of using Lenovo's Power Manager then?
Thanks,
Lukas.I had this problem too - I found that if you run the Lenovo Power Manager as an administrator it will change the windows power settings. Running it as a standard user won't do a thing - the settings panel should be changed by lenovo to automatically require an admin password when run.

When my project launches from the LMS, the lauch window is smaller that the actual project size and requires the user to resize the window to see the whole project. My LMS administrator tells me that the launch window size is not controlled by the LMS so I am trying to figure out how I can set this to match the project dimensions.
The size of the browser window CAN be controlled by the LMS, but some LMSs are hopeless in this area and don't provide the settings to do so.
Moodle for example allows you to specify that the course content will open in a new window each time an item in the LMS TOC is clicked and what the height and width of that window will be. However, all versions of SumTotal before the latest one did not give you this option (and that despite the exhorbitant price difference between these two products.)
So your LMS admin might be correct in that HIS particular LMS cannot control the size of the launch window, but that's not because no LMS can do this. -
How do I set the window size of a course in SumTotal (LMS)
I recently created an AICC course using Captivate 5.5 for a client using SumTotal as their LMS. When the client loads the course, the course launchs in a window that is smaller than the course itself; the user then has to adjust the window size to view the entire course. I have read on various posts that this cannot be controlled by myself through the .htm file settings, and that this has to be set within the LMS.
So my question is: Where and how does the client set the course window size within SumTotal? Does anyone know?!
thanksNo, edit the html files that come with Captivate. Either hand edit the
html file that is produced every time you publish, or locate the files
in the Captivate 5 directory and customise them to suite your needs.

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?
It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file. -
Setting window size in Dreamweaver... Help!?
I am working in Dreamweaver CS3. I am trying to set my index
page window size, as well as the sizes of linked pop-up windows.
If I recall correctly, there used to be spot in page
properties where you could set the size of the page. This is not
here in CS3. Is there a way to do this still?
Also, for the pop-up windows... when I attempt to add a
behavior to spec size for this, I lose my current rollover states
in all my images.
This is driving me crazy! Any words of advice would be very
helpful. Thank you.Be aware that it's a bad practice to mess with someone's
preferred browser
width settings. Most people would think it's even rude since
you make a
mess, and then don't clean it up.

LION: How do I get LION Finder to remember a window's settings as always before?
LION: How do I get LION Finder to remember a window's settings (view, window size, position, toolbar, sidebar) like always before? It remembers soon after, but after a time it forgets and does what it wants. Redoing this over and over is driving me crazy. I've been using Mac since 1986 and never had this problem,. One of the most beloved things about the Mac OS is that it REMEMBERS the setting for virtually everything! Clearly, Jobs has been out of action during LION development.
Maybe there's a way (with TERMINAL or finder prefs??) to adjust the "Time To Forget" to infinity (because it's OK for a while and then reverts to defaults again).LaraCroft_NYC wrote:

You don't (unfortunately) . Best to be patient until 10.7.2 is released (any day now), and which should fix this bug. If that doesn't work, then report it to Apple, but this is a BIG bug that Apple must and will fix soon.
BTW, I suspect you may be right about Steve Jobs influence, but hopefully this is just an exception. -
Finder window size and location not remembered
I have OS X 10.10 installed.
When I press Cmd/shift/H to open a finder window showing my home folder I get the default location and size for the window. I resize and relocated the window and close it. When I press that key combination again, the window is now showing the new size and location I previous set. Unfortunately, when I restart the computer, this modification is lost and when I press that key combination the window opens with the default size and location.
I have used the key combination of Cmd/Shift/A to open a finder window showing Applications and Cmd/Shift/U to open a finder window showing the Utilities folder. I have been successful in resizing and relocating these windows, and having the system remember my modifications after a restart. It appears to only be the Cmd/Shift/H combination that is faulty.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?Paddster7,
You could try trashing the hidden file inside the folder that stores some of its positioning and size settings.
To show your hidden files.
Launch ( Terminal ) -> Paste in the following ( defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder ) -> Press Return.
Open the ( Offending Folder ) -> Delete ( .DS_Store ) -> Restart -> Move folder how you want to to stay -> Restart -> Did it stay?
To reverse your hidden files back to hidden.
Launch ( Terminal ) -> Paste in the following ( defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean false ; killall Finder ) -> Press Return.

Finder Window Sizes and View Options
In an earlier message under Mac OS X Panther it was recommended that I post a new message in the AppleScript forum.
I'm looking for a way to automate the repetitive task of resizing Finder windows and resetting view options. For example resetting a hundred folders to the same window size and screen position with the same view options. This requires manually adjusting each window one by one.
A solution could be an AppleScript that would automate this task.
The following is the earlier message:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1283081#1283081
I mistakenly deleted all the preference files for the Finder window options on my 17 inch PowerBook (.DS_Store Files).
This has returned all Finder windows to default settings for window sizes and view options.
I use custom widow sizes for all my folders that nicely fit the 17 inch screen on my PowerBook, leaving enough desktop space on the right for the hard drive icons and the Dock that I always keep vertical on the right.
I have a 12 inch PowerBook as well. And it has it's own custom window size that fits it's much smaller screen. It has always been a complaint of mine to have to manually reset windows whenever I needed to transfer folders with Bluetooth file exchange.
Resetting Finder window sizes and view option has always been a time consuming problem. Now to have to do it over again for hundreds of windows is a huge task that is way to manual.
The Finder is customizable. There must be a way to set the options for one window and be able to use those adjustments for other windows without having to re adjust each setting manually.
There was an application called Finder Window Manager. Maybe someone knows of another application that can do this of task or another way around this issue.
Photoscene
Powerbook G4 17 inch Mac OS X (10.4.3) Tiger/PantherPhotoscene,
I think if you repost this to the AppleScript link, someone there will have a solution for you (in the form of an applescript that you can run)...
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724
Give it a shot (I'm not clever enough to give you a good script yet, but someone there will be!)

RoboHelp won't reset window size
Good Afternoon,
I'm trying to reset the size of the help browser that
displays. I know that this is done through the Window Properties
dialog box. I've reset it multiple times, but it just keeps
displaying in the old size. I even tried to delete the window
properties and then recreate them. Does anyone have any suggestions
on how I can get RoboHelp to apply the new size settings?
Thanks!!!!
AngelaHi Angela
When you are looking at the Window Properties, what do you
see for the option labeled "Remember Window Size and Positon"? (You
find this in the lower left corner of the dialog)
If this setting is enabled, there are only a few ways to
force a change.
1. Before closing the help file, move and size it as you
desire it to open next time.
2. Rename the .CHM file name so Windows registers it as a
different file. For example, MyChm.CHM might change to MyChm1.CHM.
3. You could search and destroy your hh.dat file. I woudn't
recommend this as it could impact other .CHM files in your system.
Cheers... Rick
