Resize the vdisk without going crazy?

I used the VM Fusion for a few years and there are only a few apps that I can't get on my Mac, so I did very well for a long time with a 20G vdisk.

I'm under VM Ware Fusion 3.02 on a MacBook Pro, OX 10.6.3 2.66 ghz and 8G of Ram.

The files have swelled gradually over time, that I now need to increase the size of the vdisk.

I have read and tried everything that I find in the forums and have not had a lot of success. Granted most of the threads come back two or three years and at least a version.

When I open 'My computer' and then click on the disc 'C' it tells me that I have a free 19.9 G with 809M drive.

When I select the Virtual Machine > hard drive > hard drive put on display a drive of 25G.

My Mac finder shows the size of the file to 22.21 Go.

Why is there such a wide range of sizes shown in the same file?

How can I get the 'C' drive to think there 25G?

They really do something like this such a hard pain in the neck to do?

I tried vdiskmanager GUI without success, vdiskmanager (command line) without success and its expansion with the parameters of the hard disk does not work either.

Any suggestions on how to expand the file and to keep at least a part of my sanity?

Thank you

    Windows Photo Gallery.  How can I change the settings in the Windows Photo Gallery to automatically open the image without going to the index first?

    Additional information: there are 2 computers that I use on the first Gallery Photo of Windows will open the image and allow me to use the left and right buttons to scroll through the rest of the photos in the folder, that's what I want.

    On the 2nd computer when I open an image it will open the Windows Photo Gallery in an index with thumbnails of the displayed record.  How can I change so that it opens the same thing as the first computer?

    I did the following on both computers; Right-click on the image and select open with...--> choose the default program--> go--> Program Files, Windows Photo Gallery, but it will be open always differently on computer 2.

    Both computers use Windows Vista 32-bit.

    This would happen if the file associations are corrupted on the computer, try method to set Photo Gallery Windows as the default program for opening files jpeg or png below image types.

    (a) open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.

    (b) click on associate a type of file or Protocol with a program

    (c) in the following list of file protocol search jpeg and make sure that you have associated with the program that uses it and then check if it works.

  • Captivate 5: is there a way to prevent someone taking the quiz, without going through the tale

    Hello.

    Is there a way to Captivate 5 to avoid that someone clicking on the quiz to take, without going through the content?

    DBI

    Hello.

    What about a person from taking the quiz without going through the content...

    I decided to separate the quiz on the project under a separate heading.

    We use a learning management system that will host the module to control access.

    The LMS can be set to not allow people to click on the link of the Quiz, until they crossed the content.  (So they cannot circumvent the content and just do the quiz).

    I was trying to find a way for this to control in Captivate 5 and prevent people from being able to click on the quiz without going through the content. (And keep the quiz in the original).

    However, this LMS solution works for this add-on.

    Thank you all!

  • Resize the text without scale text block

    Hi people,

    Is it possible to resize a text frame without scaling the text in the 2014 AI CC SDK?

    I'm working on an AI CC 2014 plug-in and need to resize a text frame without scaling of the text. However, I'm not having a bit of luck to find how to do this. Is what I want to resize the text block in the Type area Options Panel makes, but I'm not able to understand how what classes/methods it uses, or whether they are still exposed in the SDK of.

    I tried to use sAITransformArt->TransformArt(), but I can't find a way to stop the text to scale with the text block. I considered, after processing, reformat the text which has been nationally, but that doesn't seem right.

    My current thinking is to move the text of the framework which should be scaling in a new block of text size correctly, and then delete the existing framework, but before that, I thought I would ask here see if do I it's harder it must be because I'm missing something.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    See you soon!

    -Jim Birkenseer

    You must use sAITransform-> (TransformArt) on the subject of track of the image of the text, not the entire text block.

    For example:

    AITextFrameType textFrameType;
    sAITextFrame->GetType( art, &textFrameType );
    if ( ( textFrameType == kInPathTextType ) || ( textFrameType == kOnPathTextType ) ) {
        sAITextFrame->GetPathObject( art, &art );
        AIRealMatrix sMatrix;
         // Set your matrix as needed here...
        sAITransformArt->TransformArt( art, &sMatrix, 1.0f, kTransformObjects );
    }
    
  • Resize the image without undo - redo disturbing

    Hello
    I want to resize the image if its bigger than a maximum size. To that effect in the listener to 'StatusChangeEvent.INLINE_GRAPHIC_STATUS_CHANGED', I changed graphics width and height. But then the undoManager doen't cancel transactions before this image resizing.
    If I resize the image using editManager.modifyInlineGraphic () then in the undo stack additional surgery will be added.
    Any suggestions to resize the image to load so that undo-redo disrupts.

    Thank you

    Good point - setting of the image solves the problem with the size of the chart.

    I'll take the idea of maximum size connected as an enhancement request parameters.

  • Resize the movie without scaling of objects

    I would like to have a button in a movie that, once activated, resizes the height and width of the .swf movie, but I don't want anything else on the screen to be adjusted to reflect the change in the size of the movie.

    For example, if the dimensions of the movie are doubled in size, I won't double in size, a text box - I want to stay in the same size.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

  • Resize the video without quality loss

    I am facing a problem of video resizing, could someone help me solve this problem.

    I would like to video scale to the size of the content available (size of degree) without distorting the quality like VLC player.

    Here is my code.

    The FLA code:

    import flash.display.StageScaleMode;

    import flash.display.StageAlign;

    import flash.events.Event;

    ////////////////////////////

    var videoMC: MovieClip = new MovieClip ();

    this.addChild (videoMC);

    var videoMgr:VideoManager = VideoManager.getInstance ();

    videoMgr.init ("sampleFile.flv");

    videoMC.addChild (videoMgr);

    // #############

    This tells Flash NOT allow assets globally

    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

    internship. Align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

    need to create a listener to say object when the stage is resized.

    stage.addEventListener (Event.RESIZE, onStageResize);

    setBackground ();

    called when the stage is resized

    function onStageResize (evt: Event)

    {

    setBackground();

    }

    setBackground () function

    {

    determine the Middle

    var middleX = stage.stageWidth / 2;

    var middleY = stage.stageHeight / 2;

    Replace the bkgd in the Middle

    videoMC.x = 0;

    videoMC.y = 0;

    bottom of scale to fit the width and height

    videoMgr.updateVideoSize (stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight),

    see if it has grown like horizontally or vertically and adjust other

    to maintain the proportions

    videoMC.scaleX > videoMC.scaleY? videoMC.scaleY = videoMC.scaleX:videoMC.scaleX = videoMC.scaleY;

    }

  • In Firefox 3, I could type history search for words in the URL bar and pressing on enter would take me directly the debates, without going through Google. How can I get 4 to do this?

    I could even find in the websites in this way, say by typing France wiki and need me the Wikipedia for the France page, even though I had never been there. (Or sometimes, if I did a search with the term wiki, it would take me to a wiki dedicated to this subject, even though I had never been to this site before.)

    I really do not understand how this feature works, but can I turn it on for firefox 4?

    The change between Firefox 3.6. * and Firefox 4 is how the location bar search. In Firefox 3.6, it uses Google search "search by name". With innovation by the name search, it performs a search on Google and if there is a clear match he will take you on the site, otherwise, it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it performs just a search on Google, if you type in something that is not recognized as a URL.

    To get the behavior of Firefox 3.6 on Firefox 4, you must change a hidden preference.

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    3. Locate the preference keyword. URL, double-click it and change its value on the link below

  • RH7: PDF Generation of the project without going through Word

    All,
    I have a user who is try the trial of RoboHelp 7 and wants to know when to generate PDF output, is there a way to bypass the creation of a Word document and go straight to the PDF document. Word is still used this way to get a printed Documentation doesn't matter if a PDF file is made or not?

    Any info would be much appreciated.

    Thank you
    Greg

    Leon and everyone,
    Thanks for all your suggestions and comments. The HR user is dead set against using Word to generate the PDF file. In other research, we found RH7 and Flare to use Word as an intermediary in the generation of the PDF file. However, importing files FrameMaker in RH7 briefly gave us hope that the problem has been resolved by issuing to FrameMaker and PDF format. Much to our surprise, we found the RH7 can import FrameMaker files but cannot export to FrameMaker files.

    The user is in a different business unit and does not use HR. Since the release of FrameMaker is important to them, RH7, don't meet their needs.

    Thanks again for all your help.

  • Transfer/upgrade of long registered version of PS CS4 on cell phone deadline on the new MacBook Air without going to monthly subscriptions?

    Hi all, I'd be grateful for advice please as I'm going round in circles with this for days now.

    I would like to use Photoshop on my new MacBook Air, but I don't want to pay a monthly fee. I have a registered version of CS4 on my old machine, with the serial number, but I do not see how to install it on the Air without going into the CC - I really want to pay a monthly fee to use a product that I already paid for.

    So, my question is, are at - it an older version of the trial of the PS that I could download for Air and then upgrade? Obviously I can not put the original disc as there is no drive. Each trial download that I found so far installed PS CC.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Chloe,.

    To be honest I'm not sure what the rule was with CS4, certainly today you are allowed to have Photoshop on both machines, but that might not always have been the case. In any case, you can test. Do not turn off on the old machine and try to install on the new. If he accepts your serial number, then you know it's possible, if not then you will need to disable it on your old Mac. I tend to think that for some people, CS4 is all they will ever need, but like you said there is no route update to CS5 now. The big problem with older versions is sure that they will not work with the new operating systems, more true for Mac and Windows, and also because that Camera Raw is not updated they need Adobe's DNG Converter to work with the latest cameras. Photographic membership is good value for the money, but not if you've spent $1000 in the course Photoshop purchase. Not much I can say really, but it's business.

  • Cannot resize the virtual disk, the virtual machine by using a «child» vmdk file

    Release: VMWare workstation 9

    SE host: Windows 7 64-bit

    Screenshots below.

    I want to resize my VM from 50 GB to 100 GB.

    It seems that VMware workstation 9 uses a child for my VM vmdk.  In my case, using its "Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 - 000001.vmdk" for its virtual disk file.  The correct file should be "Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.vmdk", I think.

    There are currently no snapshots registered for this virtual machine, I see.

    The virtual machine works well as is, but I can't resize the disk without the VMWare gui, saying I should be perform the operation on the parent vmdk file.

    It seems that I do run a snapshot that is not really a snapshot?  How to merge with the older files - Sxx.vmdk to 0000xx - Sxxx.vmdk

    I also tried to use the command line tool to manually resize the vmdk parent, but I get permission "access denied" errors.

    Kind regards

    He no snapshots are displayed in the Manager of snapshot with the check box 'Show AutoProtect snapshots' verified then the snapshot is an orphan and the best way I use normally to fix this if I want the contents of the snapshot of orphan to be among the basic disk is with tab of the virtual machine in VMware Workstation GUI closed I simply delete the .vmsd file and then open the virtual machine tab in the VMware Workstation GUI and cover and immediately remove a snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.  This will force the orphan snapshot to merge with the parent disk.  Then to clean I still remove the .vmsd file and orphans, .vmsn and .vmem file.

    Note: Before the procedure you have a good backup of the virtual machine in case you accidentally mess something up.

  • Resize the virtual disk

    I just had to re - create a virtual machine because my original size was too small.

    First, is there a way for me to expand the drive without having to recreate?  and

    I had a disk Acronis True Image backup, and I was trying just res it toe to a larger drive, but I couldn't understand how to launch True Image so that the virtual machine can boot from the disc of TI and start the restore.  I got the TI part to run (by installing the disk, thinking I could then restore the image "on"), but he could not see my USB external drive.

    It seems from what I see the recognition of the external USB drives is difficult - does include flash drives? -So how/where can I back up my VM so it will be available for a restore and visible to the Acronis boot CD - because I'm assuming that my installation of TI in the hopes of restoring the top disc would not work (in any case).
