• Save dialog box defaults to the System32 folder

  Running Windows 7 x 64, when I try to save a file, it is always default in the System32 folder.

• Native of filebrowse using and the cascading Save dialog box

  In my application I need to open file and file save dialog box when a specific button is clicked. I looked at the docs of stunts, but I found that the native options. Tried the native alert dialog, change of filebrowse dialog type. It displays well on Simulator, but could not get any output file that will be used in the Qt code.

  I pass these parameters

  int * num = NULL;

  char * folder [1024];
  dialog_update (alert_dialog);

  to dialog_event_get_filebrowse_filepaths(event,file,num), but it always returns BPS_FAILURE.

  In addition, access_shared is present in the bar-descriptor

  Here is my code:

  Hello again, here's the example as promised.

          dialog_destroy(m_dialog);
      }
  }
  

  This class derives from QObject (by QThread) which means that it can be used by QML when it exposes properties and signals. The FileBrowseDialog class has 3 properties

  -multiple selection: a Boolean flag indicating if single or multiple selection is allowed

  -filepaths: a read only value that returns the list of files selected

  -Filters: a read/write value is where you can specify one or more filters to file (for example, ".doc", "*.jpg") etc.

  The next part is how you call the FileBrowseDialog through the QML. To do this, we must inform the QML of the FileBrowseDialog page. This is done in the App class via the qmlregistertype code.

  App.cpp

  #include 
  #include 
  #include 
  
  #include "app.hpp"
  #include "FileBrowseDialog.hpp"
  
  using namespace bb::cascades;
  
  App::App()
  {
      qmlRegisterType("Dialog.FileBrowse", 1, 0, "FileBrowseDialog");
      QmlDocument *qml = QmlDocument::create("main.qml");
      qml->setContextProperty("cs", this);
  
      AbstractPane *root = qml->createRootNode();
      Application::setScene(root);
  }
  

  The QML is now ready to be able to use the FileBrowseDialog. The example below is a page complete qml which has a button and a label. When we click on the FileBrowseDialog button is open, and all selected files will appear in the label.

  Main.QML

  import bb.cascades 1.0
  import Dialog.FileBrowse 1.0
  
  Page {
      content: Container {
          Label { id: filebrowseDialogLabel }
          Button {
              text : "File Browse Dialog"
              onClicked: {
                  filebrowseDialog.show();
              }
          }
          attachedObjects: [
              FileBrowseDialog {
                  id: filebrowseDialog
                  multiselect : true
                  filters : ["*.doc","*.jpg","*.txt"]
                  onSelectionCompleted: {
                      if(filebrowseDialog.filepaths.length>0)
                          filebrowseDialogLabel.text = filebrowseDialog.filepaths[0];
                      else
                          filebrowseDialogLabel.text = "no file selected";
                  }
                  onSelectionCancelled: {
                      filebrowseDialogLabel.text = "file browse dialog was cancelled";
                  }
              }
          ]
      }
  }
  

  And it's pretty much just invoke the native dialog file navigation in stunts. Please note save the file would follow a similar model, but I found that this dialog box was not particularly useful because it displays only a simple dialogbox with a text file name entry.

  See you soon

  Hello Arun,

  Thanks for posting back.

  If you have successfully transferred your files and they are stored in a location on the hard disk, that is, in a folder or drive on your computer, they will remain on your computer, regardless of any number of reboots.

  Hope this information is useful. If the problem persists, please post back for assistance.

• File copy/delete dialog box is off the screen in a staggered multiple follow Setup

  I'm on Windows 8 on a ThinkPad W520 with a 1920 x 1080 screen and a secondary antibody NEC LCD2070NX 1600 x 1200 display connected via DisplayPort. The NEC is positioned to the left of the ThinkPad and raised higher than the ThinkPad display; the bottom of the NEC is near the center of the left edge of the ThinkPad.

  I put to the top of the poster in the Panel to take account of this arrangement:

  http://mg.to/bugs/Windows/display-settings.PNG

  If I have a window of the Explorer of files open in the secondary monitor on the left and use this window to copy or remove some large files or folders, the progress dialog box is not visible. It is currently displayed in the "man no of land" above the main monitor and the secondary screen.

  The problem occurs when the secondary monitor is on the right, or above or below the primary. (I have tested some of these cases, but not completely). Also, this does not happen when the Explorer window is on the primary monitor. The problem does occur at all on Windows 7.

  Here's a film that illustrates the problem. For each image, I copied a large directory on the network and took a screenshot to display side by side and move the secondary display up to about 120 pixels in the control panel every time. You can see how the copy dialog box follows the secondary monitor vertically, but her left side is pinned to the left edge of the main screen, so he ends up disappearing from the screen.

  http://mg.to/bugs/Windows/multiple-display-bug.wmv

  It is easy to see what is happening here: Explorer normally centers the dialog box of progression on the same screen as the Explorer window that opened the dialog box. This does not work as expected in the direction, but on the axis X to the left edge of the dialog box's get pinned to the left edge of the main screen.

  As the corner at the top left of the primary monitor is always (0,0), it acts as if the dialog box was positioned like this pseudo-code:

  monitor = getWindowMonitor (feed)

  dialog.centerOnMonitor (monitor)

  If dialog.left< 0:="">

  Dialog.Left = 0

  When the dialog box is off the screen, it's a bit disturbing, because it makes the impression that the Explorer window is locked. The only way I know to make visible the dialog box is with this exercise of the superpowers of keyboard shortcut:

  1. use Alt + space to open the system menu of the dialog box. The menu will open on the screen no matter where is the dialog box.

  2. Press m to move (or click on move).

  3. you will see a four-headed mouse cursor, just to fool you into thinking the mouse could do something now. It will not!

  4 instead of this, you have to hit any key of the arrow, which begins the displacement of the dialog box.

  5. now you can use the mouse (or the puree on the arrow keys) to move the dialog on the screen.

  A bit of good news...

  I just tested this on the latest version of Windows preview 10 technical, and it seems to be fixed.

• File navigation dialog box always returns the application folder, not the one I selected

  My script uses a hardcoded destination path to save files. I want to make it more flexible with a file navigation dialog box.

  The function of file selectDlg seems obvious, but it always returns the location of the folder of Photoshop, not the folder I chose in the dialog box.

  For example:

  var outputFolder = Folder();

  outputFolder.selectDlg ("output :"); folder

  $.write (outputfolder);

  Expected:

  My JavaScript console must declare the file I selected in the system dialog box.

  Actual results:

  Regardless of the folder in which I select in the dialog box, it returns always like:

  /c/program%20Files/Adobe/Adobe%20Photoshop%20CC%202014/tmp00000001

  The directory path is where Photoshop is installed on my computer. The tmp00000001 file seems to come.

  Am I missing something obvious?

  var f = Folder();
  var outputFolder = f.selectDlg("Output folder:");
  $.write(outputFolder);
  

• How to make or force the Save dialog box for the link pop-up in Dreamweaver

  How do or force the Save dialog box for the pop-up link in Dreamweaver, legally?

  I looked on google how to and what is the code for this but all the answers are to use php or javascript code and paste it into "Web page editor" and edit with your file name. I wonder what the 'legal' way to do that using Dreamweaver options for getting to this: when I click on my link to the image on my Web page, I created, pop-up "save under" dialog box, then the visitor of my site for can save file that my site wish to offer for download.

  It is very easy to just a link certain file (in my case is png image) and open in a new page in the browser, but I want to save as dialog window appears and then visitor on my site to save my png file or not.

  Help!

  You will need to use a script.  If your server supports PHP, this will do what you want. Change filename & path to point to your download folder.  SaveAs download.php.

  Place a link on your page parent download.php file.

• How to remove the Save dialog box before you close the form?

  Hi all

  I've created a form that will open a data connection to a button click.

  I get the error on failure and the code to close my form of app.execMenuItem ("Close");

  but a save dialog box appears before I can close.

  (maybe because I did something on the opening form),

  It is able to remove it? Or simply impossible?

  Best rgds.

  Hmmm,

  What happens if you add?

  Event.Target.Dirty = false;

  app.execMenuItem ("Close");

• Dialog boxes appear off the screen

  Hello, I have problems with dialog boxes in Illustrator CS6.

  Dialog boxes are appearing in various different locations rather than a central location on the screen...

  For example: the Save dialog box appears half off the screen towards the lower right section of the screen. Various other boxes appear at the top left, top right. All dialogs are mobile, so I can reposition in the Middle, but the next time I used appear where they were not at the Center.

  I work on both a 13 "macook pro separately and with and 27" apple screen attached. Dialog boxes are visiable on 27 "screen, but often in odd places.

  Is there a way I can reset their position?

  I tried reseting all the dialogues, trashed the preferences in the preferences in the folder of the library on the computer but no luck. I'm puzzled.

  Any help would be appreciated...

  Thank you

  nosbornf,

  It is important that Illy is closed when you reset the preferences.

  Try the following (you may have tried / some of them already) and see if it helps:

  (1) close Illy and open again.

  (2) restart the computer;

  (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift at startup.

  4) move the folder with Illy closed;

  (5) browse and try the relevant among other options;

  Even worse, you can (if all else fails and no best answer appears):

  (6) uninstall, run the cleanup tool and reinstall.

  .. .all dialog box appears on screen is covered in "' so I can't put passwords or addresses of sites and if the sound is on a morse codes like noise appears with the comma...

  The character you are evidence is a single quotation mark or tick rather than a comma, but the character you see in reality is probably an asterisk in a mask the password text box. In both cases, the problem remains the same.

  You have a key stuck on your keyboard which instantly fills any box entry with the typed characters, they are ticks or asterisks. The only audible ringer is a normal computer error indicating that the keyboard buffer is full, but entry continues, once again an indication of a stuck keyboard key.

  Try another keyboard. It may be possible to launch a key by a sharp tap, but the problem will probably persist in the future. I hope that you don't talk about your laptop.

  Hello

  1. have there been recent changes to the computer before the show?

  I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

  Method 1: Start your system in safe mode and check if the same problem occurs.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Method 2: If the question does not exist in Mode safe mode then try to put your computer in a clean boot state.

  By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Bug in dialog box "... the form" adjustment of the mask?

  I just posted this in the Adobe bug report, but wanted to make sure it is a bug of software, not a personal fault. Did anyone else encounter this problem and have you found a solution?  Thank you!

  Problem: Definition left and right side a rectangular mask to the same number in the mask dialog box "Form."... "causes the mask to be unusable.

  Steps to reproduce the Bug:

  1. create a new model of px 500 x 500, new comp solid size and double-click Rect. mask tool to create a full size mask.

  2 adjust the mask using the "Shape" dialog box to set the left and right to 250. Output dialog.

  3.re - enter in the dialog box and try to make any changes to the left and to the right, or try to reset the rectangular box.

  Results:

  The changes will not be saved out of the dialog box.  This is the case when you work with keyframes or not. It should also be noted that if a mask is done this way, then a new keyframe, the mask is "reset", the shape will not change, but I noticed that points are.

  It seems that when the mask sharing the left and right sides identical, it confuses the points and cannot properly open the mask up.

  Hi Greg,.

  I saw your bug report and was able to reproduce the problem.

  The problem occurs only when the left/right or up/down pairs have exactly the same value. Changing the value of the left or top will also change the law or low value, respectively. and change the value to the right or bottom is not saved when you OK from the dialog box.

  My hunch is that this bug is related to the logic in the form of mask Panel that corrects the values so that the left value can never be greater than the fair value or the value never greater than the background value. (This logic ensures that left is always left or right and top are always above the background.)

  This bug seems to have been in After Effects at least several years (9.0 or a previous version). Anyway, apologies for the disruption.

• Dialog box style off the screen

  While using InDesign full screen (3440 x 1440), the object style dialog box is on the top of the screen and cannot be dragged on because the title bar is also off the screen.  The dialog box cannot be resized (who usually move it), so I'm not sure how to make visible.  Restoration of the app is not help either - the dialog box is still mostly off the screen.  In addition, the Windows key + ShiftKey + left arrow (or one of the arrows by the way) does not affect the location of the upper part of the dialog box, passes just a screen that displays the dialog by mistake on.

  

  The operating system is Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 3 with a monitor LG Ultrawide.

  Thank you

  Richard

  Steve,

  I contacted Adobe support, and the winning solution was to detach the Surface Pro 3 and raise InDesign with only the single monitor of 2440 x 1440.  The object Style Options of windows then jump-up in a usable place.  When I brought the Tablet, reopened InDesign and brought to the top of the window, it was still where I left it on the tablet screen and I could drag it to a site that is usable on the external monitor.  Solved the problem, but I think that it a workaround solution.  No app should place a dialog box or the same window partially off the screen in the current context of monitor/Bangkok.  Looks like a tweek for InDesign, go ahead... ;-)

  Thank you

  Richard

• Change size of text box without changing the type...

  Hello

  Hope this finds you well.

  What is the right way to resize a text box? I read that you are supposed to choose the type, and then hold down the command key, and then change the size. However, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Any thoughts?

  I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing back from you soon.

  If you want to change the size as well as the box, use the key command key. If you just need to change the dimensions of the bounding box, while leaving the type of the same size (which causes reflow), just hover over a corner and click drag to resize.
