How to use DO NOT when searching the 8 Windows App Store?

I have no problem with the charm of the App Store search, but I don't want to see the games, and it seems that the store is infested with them.  The problem is, I can't find any way to get the search charm accept Boolean values in any form.  (It seems that Windows 8 is dumbing down of the interface, remove features and back to BACK, get people to remember text commands.)

How not to use with the charm of research?

Before that, how to search for nothing _except_ games?

-Ken

The display is a bit better, if you select downloads, but then 'NO' gets ignored and all it lists is games, exactly the opposite of what I wanted.

You can't go there.   This means the site: downloads. Microsoft.com which exclude of course website: apps.microsoft.com you need to search for what you want.

So unless you're facetious "Gets a little better" I don't know why you find it "barely usable".  You fail to capitalize the NON?

http://onlinehelp.Microsoft.com/en-us/Bing/ff808438(d=robot).aspx

You must capitalize the NOT and OR operators. Otherwise, Bing will ignore them as stop words, which are producing generally words and numbers that are omitted to speed up full-text search.

http://search.Microsoft.com/en-us/results.aspx?setlang=en-us&q=not+games+site%3Aapps.Microsoft.com

50 results per page.   No games.

Ditto when I click in the entry box and choose to search the web instead.

http://www.bing.com/search?q=not%20Games%20Site%3Aapps.Microsoft.com&form=BMME

50 results per page.   No games (with the exception of a few ad above links)

So that's another advantage of Microsoft Search: no advertising.   ; }

  • How to use a GaugeFiled when retrieving the satellite units

    Guys,

    Basically, I want to use a GaugeField to do two things.

    1. I need to display the progress bar when the unit is searching for the satellite,
    2. When the user saves the long and lat on the server.

    Could someone give me a tip or a simple example that will show me how to implement this. Using a loop will not work cause it will stop in the loop as soon as he sends information to the server or retrives (Searches) satellite.

    Concerning

    Wes

    OK, several issues

    first: it is thread.sleep

    Second: use the event ONLY lock when updating the user interface. not when to sleep or do something else that blocks. This is why you use a thread in the first place.

    Third: use the sleep in the loop

    Fourth: remove the invokelater at the end invokelater puts something on the thread of the event, similar to synchronized (eventlock). you want the thread to run off the eventlock to avoid blocking it.

    to improve the design, you can put the execution variable in the writeToUi thread

    I suggest you read the developer's guide, he has some good examples and explains the problem of thread of the whole event (which is hard to understand for a new developer)

  • How to use only black ink on the Canon print app?

    I wonder if you can use only black ink with the soft print Canon. I have a Pixma MX420 and we do not buy ink color so if I print a document from the application, all in colour will not be displayed. I'd rather he appear in black and then not at all.

    Hello.

    Printing options are limited to mobile devices.  In order to take full advantage of printing and scanning capabilities, you would have to print from a compatible computer, Windows or Mac OS x using the real drivers.

  • Submit air to the desktop apple app store

    Does anyone know how to make an air application for the new apple app store office? Still, can it be done?

    No, the requirements of the Apple App store can be satisfied with an AIR app. Adobe it is considering for a future release. If it's important for you, vote in favour of the idea to http://ideas.adobe.com/ct/ct_a_view_idea.bix?c=9D564F43-979A-4E35-AA21-85A61B6AB8DE&idea_i d = F69ECDD7-3AE5-4950-B7B1-FEB0B2597EA2

    I heard reports of a Flash projector being accepted at the store application. The developer had to edit the plist and band PowerPC code to make it acceptable to the app store, but - the standard projector produced by Flash would be rejected.

    I want to use the Migration Wizard to move my user account for my MacMini BUT put the photo library on a separate hard disk from the system drive.

    My MacMini has two internal drives, the library is huge.

    The MacBook (early 2008 - running Snow Leopard) old a MacMini (late 2009 - El Capitan cool running).

    How migrations (El Capitan) not come to the photo library? It seems to only be set for the entire account.

  • How can I find and open/search the 32 GB of data that fills the disk for possible deletion?

    Download and run JDiskReport.

    There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a larger hard drive.

    • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
    • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files to delete or uninstall applications.

  • How to use setViewportBounds (Bounds value) to the ScrollPane?

    How to use setViewportBounds (Bounds value) to the ScrollPane? This method is, visually, what for? I tried to put a specific Bounds.minY to have a precise scrolling in the axis Y in vain. I use the setVvalue() method to scroll, but it is not convenient to exactly locate a position in the coordinates of the node content listed in the scroll pane.

    The viewportBounds are the limits of the viewport (i.e., the visible part of the content) in the scrolling pane itself, if I understand correctly. The way to access programmatically is by setting the vValue property.

    I have not tried, but if you do something like

    scrollPane.setVmin(0);
    DoubleBinding vmax = new DoubleBinding() {
         { super.bind(scrollPane.viewportBounds(), content.heightProperty()); }
         @Override
         public double computeValue() {
            return content.getHeight() - scrollPane.getViewportBounds().getHeight() ;
         }
    };
    scrollPane.vmaxProperty().bind(vmax);
    

    to configure your component to scroll, then you can call setVvalue (...) and just pass a location of coordinates for your content node. This assumes that your content node is a region or a control; you will have to perhaps a little logic in the method computeValue() to deal with the cases where the display window is greater than the additional content.

  • How to use a form created on the Capture of a vector

    People, I'm having difficulties to find out how to use a form created on the Capture of a vector. For example, I open Illustrator on my desk and, although the form is saved in a creative library of clouds, I can't find how to open this archive as a vector. I tried everything from capture, but then I can just export the shape as a bitmap image. I'm really lost on this.

    Hello Cristina,

    In Illustrator, simply drag the shape of your library panel in an open document. That's all there is to it.

    I use Firefox version 38.0.5, Windows 7
    Since the update Ctrl + C shortcut does not work in the main window of Firefox. (I can't copy text from any website using Ctrl + C).

    I tried to run Firefox in safe mode, I have also reset firefox and a virus scanner, but nothing has solved the problem.

    If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. Thank you

  • I continued to have this message flashing on the screen "ERROR of LOADING of THE OPERATING SYSTEM" after the restart when loading the software Window XP.

    Original title: someone help please?

    Working on my old computer, a pentium 4, card mother GA81PE1000, I continued to have this message flashing on the screen "ERROR of LOADING of THE OPERATING SYSTEM" after the restart when loading the software Window XP. After so many years, working on the construction of computer & repair, it's new to me.

    So I checked the Microsoft Website for answers from people with the same problem in the past and apply their suggestions, nothing works... hard drive replaced, the changed value in the bios, did everything possible, still nothing works, phenomenal for me, please help me find an answer, thank you?

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    2 - what you want to say that you receive this error message during the installation of Windows XP?

    Check to see if the following is useful.

    Method 1: Disconnect all devices non-essential connected to the computer and restart. Check to see if it boots normally.

    Method 2: You may need to check the settings of the BIOS (Basic Input\Output System). Check if the hard drive is detected. If this is not the case, check the physical connections. Refer to the manual to check the same.

    Warning of the BIOS:

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
