• Tab 'Search' in the help by displaying not topics merged contributes

  Hi RHelpers,

  Question about merged help.

  Me and my colleague installed the exact version of our software that we will document. We have access to the help system, and we two are looking for the exact term.

  I get results from the main help, but also the merged help there.

  He gets only to the main help.

  Why is he not returning as planned merged Help topics? Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,

  Jared

  Ah, CHMS merged, you don't mention that although I wondered when I saw on a local installation. Next question is which version of RoboHelp but without worrying about watch using RoboHelp 9 item 13 on my site. I wouldn't mind betting that the parent HHP project has an absolute path in it.

• Why not Win 7 search easily or reliably find files from subfolder and file specified?

  I've been using Windows for a while now, since version 2.x. I am currently using Windows 7 64 bit. I need to find a file. Not exactly rocket science. Let's say it's fichier.ext. I know that one or more copies of filename.ext reside inside or under C:\folder\subfolder1.

  So I open C:\folder\subfolder1 in Windows File Explorer. I press {COMMAND} + {e} for the search box and type filename.ext, then {ENTER}. The search returns 99 items. Unfortunately, 98 of them are not named fichier.ext. It sucks, but whatever. 98 results for the most part irrelevant are sorted by ascending file name. UH... I know by running DIR/s that there are actually 7 files named filename.ext residing in these subfolders. But Windows 7 search gave only 1 of them. The resolution of the problems of research said that everything was fine. All seem to have file system permissions. So here I am with 1 relevant result and literally 98 irrelevant results. It sucks. The files are not hidden. ATTRIB shows that they hear only the flags of A (rchive). I can find no reason why search gave no relevant results 98, yet returned only 1 of 7 planned relevant results. No, I'm starting to do this just to write a rant on the search for Win 7. I wanted just to finish a task, which would have been relatively easy in all previous versions of Windows, I used.

  Given that the search for C:\folder\subfolder1 does not work, I try searching for C:\. Guess what. 43 items returned, and only 34 of the results are irrelevant. From C:\, search found 7 all the relevant files. It's a Festivus miracle! But how a top-level folder got no less relevant results, but most relevant results doesn't make much sense.

  16% of the relevant results are grouped because they are sorted by filename ascending. Now, the company, right? I want the full path and the name of each of the 7 compliant files that I know exist. Who do not ask too, right? Except that there is no way to copy the text in the column of the file. And the text in the folder column is absurd anyway. The folder column shows "subfolder5 (C:\Folder\Subfolder1\Subfolder2\Subfolder3\Subfolder4). Why on Earth is subfolder5 on the left? And there is no place I can copy the path. OK, no problem, I'll just do a right click and open the file location. In fact I use {SHIFT} + {F10}, {i} instead of Right-Click, but it's because I have old habits when there was usually effective ways of doing things in Windows using the keyboard.

  Thus, opens the folder containing my first relevant result. {ALT} + {d} which brings me to the address bar, where I already have the full path. Now I just type "\" and the first characters of the file name and it completes automatically. {COMMAND} + {a}, {COMMAND} + {c} and it is all copied to the Clipboard. Yay, I got my first string path\filename successfully, so I can really accomplish something. I launch an instance of Notepad and paste it in for later use. Now back to my remaining 6 to search relevant results... Hmmm... {ALT} + {left} does nothing. Focus changes often without apparent reason in Win 7 files and the Search Explorer, which prevents the work strikes. So I move the mouse and click the left arrow to go back to my 6 other relevant results. That's when I find that search threw all the results. I have to wait while it does search through each file under C:\. Ugh.

  In an effort to avoid having to search several times C:\ 5 times more unnecessarily for fichier.ext, I'm thinking maybe I can click the button start and try to type here, let semi-automatic paths as I type the content of the column of the file. It does not, because the start menu obscures my 7 relevant results. I later I knew that even if they are hidden, I could select the relevant 7 of 99 total results and the selection color stick while the start menu hidden items in the name column. But in the end, the fastest way to get the 7 paths was actually copy via the mode prompt QuickEdit on DIR /S FILENAME command. Results of the EXT. I mean, really?

  Windows search cannot locate surely known names of files in a subfolder that is known? Win7 search not only gave me 98 irrelevant results, but also failed to find 6 of the 7 specified files. How screwed is that? But DIR/s gave me no irrelevant results at all and find files with 100% reliability. Does this strike anyone as being a little... uh... bad?

  Find names of files specified in a specified subfolder does not appear as a rare user scenario. Simply how to find a record of a known file in a known subfolder name seems ridiculously too complicated in Windows 7.

  Now, there is a _ a lot of good things on Win 7. My favorite features are probably support for multiple processors, accident of insulation, and the incredible improvements in design and material compatibility layer makes this Win 3.x prey. But please, I seriously hope that someone will take a look at some of the pieces of this real scenario common and try to improve things in a future service pack or something? Pretty please?

  Noel, thanks for the great suggestion! I * never * would have discovered the ' file name: ' filter with the help of Windows.

  I had no idea that there was a search syntax. It seems totally weird to me that the add a drop-down list box filter search doesn't give IU for update and size filters. I think that corresponding filename deserves its own button there and something to direct users to this overview of query language syntax.

  It's really great to know adding "leader:" to restrict the results to only compliant file names. I am completely floored that it is completely impossible. I would * NEVER * have discovered that the link of query syntax. There is no link between the search Help topics. Windows Search 4.0 is somewhat a component name internally. As an end-user of Windows 7, I consider that the search for files to be an integral part of the operating system. I would have never thought to search for help on "Windows Search 4.0". FYI - I just went to the research, a help file topic or a folder and a suggestion to make a link to the news of search query to win 4 left.

  I fiddled with the columns, remove the folder column and replacing it with the much more logical folder path column. I was happy to find that the next time I opened a search for C:\, the path of the folder column persisted.

  When I search libraries, I have the search box offers some filters, like, Date of modification, Type, name, path, Tags. This never was told to the "queue:" filter that I needed. The "name:" filter only appears when searching for my libraries, do not then the research to another part of my drive. Research on "name:filename.ext" returns all files where {(extention == «ext») & (filename contains "filename")}, for example, returns 'fu_filename.ext', 'filename_bar.ext', 'fu_filename_bar.ext', etc.

  In the results, the context menu doesn't give me a copy as path option. The closest I can find is going to file properties, I can manually copy the contents of the location.

  Rest of questions that I hope THAT MSFT would consider to improve:

  1. "file name:" filter is totally impossible, causing in search of filename otherwise quick to take minimum two times longer, useless due to analysis of the content of the file.

  2. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. EXT runs twice faster than Win with essential Search but impossible ' file name: ' filter, often up to 8 times faster than without the discoverable ' filename: ' filter.

  3. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. POST do not clutter results with files whose content contains the string.

  4. DIR /S C:\FILENAME. Reliable EXT returns all the relevant results.

  5. I can copy each path of results returned by DIR /S C:\FILENAME. POST in a single step (with QuickEdit active guest).

  It's not too terribly demanding to expect a file search v7 o/s to at least on par with the performance and ease of use of a query of type MS-MS-DOS age 30 is?

• Search for Windows 7, why not if give me the files that are not yet in my augument search?

  Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit OS.

  Have a lot of files are duplicated.

  In Windows 7 lets say the files in the folder have files that look like:

  Bill 120.le rar
  Bill 121, rar
  Bill 1 .rar

  and we want to remove duplicates with '(1) '.
  and we enter research * (*)

  Under XP it would only list the file: Bill 1 .rar IF you entered *(*.)  or *) * or (1), etc.

  Bill 1 .rar

  In Windows 7, since I started to use Win 7 years, everything I do is get frustrited when it will sometimes give me what I ask for the Bill 1 .rar.
  but most of the time like now, will give me ALL the files WITH and WITHOUT the "()".

  Bill 120.le rar
  Bill 121, rar
  Bill 1 .rar

  WHY?  and how can he give me what I asked?

  (I tried ALL the settings and they all do the same thing)

  Enter in the search box:

  name: ~ = "{}"

  The ~ = indicates to Windows 7 search to look anywhere in the name.  Usually, the quotes would not be needed, but( ) has a functional use of search for Windows 7, and the quotes tell Windows 7 search just deal with ( ) as a chararacter.  I tried to find a way to search for a (?), after? as a wildcard but couldn't.  [Update: solution concludes, at the end of the post]  However, you can enter this to search for files named with the two ( and ), but not necessarily appearing in the (#) form.

  nom : ~ = "(" nom : ~ = "")" »

  or more compactly,

  nom : (~ = "(" ~ = "")" »)

  Update: more than a month later, I realized the more compactly.  Subsequently, the? is interpreted as a wildcard character.  If more digits is possible, then additional search with? exactly two for? for exactly three and so on.

  Name: ~ "* (?) *"

  If filename: is used instead, then the tilde is redundant:

  filename: "* (?)" *"

• Why not restore the link to Ctrl-click to open in a new tab?

  Between 22 and 24 versions, ctrl - click went as a keyboard shortcut to open a link in a new tab.

  Now there are two ways: rightclick the link, and choose a Fisher point to open in new tab, or the link middleclick.

  Right-click and choose the menu item is more difficult, because we actually watch and read the menu.

  MiddleClick isn't as easy or reliable for most people today since the middle mouse button is usually a wheel and hard to click with precision.

  I see no reason why you shouldn't restore Ctrl-click to open a link in a new tab and a lot of reasons why you should. Please will you do?

  Very well. I created a new profile and found that ctrl - click still does not behave correctly.

  And then it dawned on me that I was using the same Web site to run the test each time.

  So I tried it on another site and found that it worked very well there. I tried another and it worked there, too.

  The site with links for which ctrl - click is not working is realclearpolitics.com. It must have something to do with their HTML. Someone try for me, please.

  Thanks for the help, and I apologize for all the trouble I've put you through.

• Why not use the static methods - example

  Hello world
  
  I would like to continue the below thread about "why not use static methods.
  Why not use the static methods
  with the concrete example.
  
  In my small application, I need to be able to send keystrokes. (java.awt.Robot class is used for this)
  I created the following class for these "operations" with static methods:
  

  public class KeyboardInput {
  
       private static Robot r;
       static {
            try {
                 r = new Robot();
            } catch (AWTException e) {
                 throw new RuntimeException(e + "Robot couldn't be initialized.");
            }
       }
       
       public static void wait(int millis){
            r.delay(millis);
       }
       
       public static void copy() {
            r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
            r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_C);
            r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_C);
            r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
       }
  
       public static void altTab() {
            r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
            r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
            r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
            r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
       }
  
                 // more methods like  paste(), tab(), shiftTab(), rightArrow()
  }

  You think it's a good solution? How could it be improved? I saw something Singleton vs somewhere of static methods. Wouldn't be better to use Singleton?
  
  Thanks for your comments in advance.

  Maheshguruswamy thanks for the tips on the steps create a singleton of this class.
  Perhaps you could say also why do you say that it would be preferable to use singleton? What is behind it? Thank you!

  In short, it seems to me that a single instance of your class will be able to coordinate actions across your entire application. If a singleton should be sufficient.

  But who doesn't answer why he expected prefer a singleton instead of a bunch of static methods. Functionally, the two are almost identical. In both cases, there is that a single 'thing' to call methods - either a single instance of the class or the class itself.

  To answer the question, the main reason to use a Singleton on a class of static methods is the same reason readers much of not static vs static decisions: polymorphism.

  If you use a Singleton (and and interface), you can do something like this:

  KeyboardInput kbi = get_some_instance_of_some_class_that_implements_KeyboardInput_somehow_maybe_from_a_factory();
  

  And then everything calling public methods of KBI has to know that there an implementor of this interface, without worrying about what concrete class is, and you can replace some implementation is appropriate in a given context. If you do not need to do, then the approach of the static method is probably enough.

  There are other reasons that may suggest a Singleton - serialization, persistence, use as a JavaBean pop to mind - but they are less frequent and less convincing in my experience.

  And finally, if this thing keeps updated a State between method calls, even if you can manage it with static member variables, it is more in line with the OO paradigm to make them non-static fields of an instance of this class.

• Why not URL links displayed as pdf written of freehand MX?

  I selected the text I tried to apply the URL. Pulled the bottom of the Navigation menu, typed in the URL, press tab, and the selected type appears in the text box of substring. I chose then get URL in Action; _self under settings; on (press) to the title of the event and then closed the box. Has written a ps file and then as a pdf and the URL link does not appear in the pdf file.

  I've got OS 10.6.2 Freehand mx, Distiller and acrobat CS4.

  All suggestions, oh wise Freehand gurus out there?

  My god. first of all, do you really after that January 21? and nobody react?

  It's terrible. I left kind of fall on this forum or I would have rung me. in fact, don't know why I'm still here now, but I have as well, try to answer your question.

  by the way for future issues you would have more luck on http://www.freefreehand.org

  in any case, I just exported a PDF with two different links contained in it (FreeHand, on os 10.6.2 etc.). the only thing I know, that I confirmed work very well, is to hit the "Settings" button... ", you will see in the first window on file > export... If the PDF is selected as output type, the installer will have several checkboxes, one that says "export with URLs. Make sure it is and click on the OK button (should be blue).

  None of the other stuff that you said made no sense to me. but then, it was a long day of work.

  good luck, or maybe you already figured it out now.

  EDIT

  OHO, I'm changing my answer. I realize now what you're talking about, and it seems to be completely broken. Have not used this feature in some time, but I know that it worked on 10.5.8 running FH 11.02. Now, some fields or menus are dimmed, and it breaks the other links that I had work (for which I had just added the http:// part).

  Freehand is breaking. Slowly but surely. No two ways about it.

  But I wonder, if you have CS4 why not just open the PDF file in AI or Acrobat Pro and fix it's from there? I know, but you have to do what you have to do.

• I want the cursor to be in the address bar when you create a new window; It works for new tabs and a new private window, but not in safe mode.

  I tried following the advice offered in the different threads bit I found on this but nothing works out. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I solved the problem for new tabs via subject: config, but it does not work for the new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In a new private window, the cursor is in the address bar.

  A new window opens the homepage (default: subject: House) and not the new tab page (default: subject: newtab).

  Some of the built-in pages set the focus to the search bar on the web page, just like the Google site only.

  You can use a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar that opens the subject: blank page.
  If you hold down the SHIFT key when you click this bookmark, then you open a new widow with this page.
  Otherwise, you need to set the home page to about: blank or on the point: about to have easy access to all the pages.
