  • In the file open/create/replace bug

    I found this problem in LabVIEW 2009. The Boolean indicator doesn't seem to work properly in the first snippet. It returns TRUE even with a valid path. With some trial and error, I found a work around that will work correctly at the moment. I just wire an Out error after the file open/create/replace (excerpt of a second). Is this a bug? I'm doing something wrong?

    I had a lot of code that uses it to test to search for existing files, and then the output of wire to a statement box. I know there's also a check if the folder/file available Exists.vi. I wouldn't spend a lot of time to change all my code if there is a known bug and it will be corrected in the next update. If this isn't a bug to know, where can I submit it?

    This isn't a bug. You have the race condition between the indicator and close REF.

  • ID of the file open causes freeze

    Is anyone having this problem? I opened the last update of CC2015 of ID and it opens VERY slowly. Then go to the file open causes a 2-5 minute beachball on my mac pro book.

    I did all Adobe offers troubleshooting and including deactivation of all additional policies, remove the suitcase entirely plugin from all adobe products and still get the dreaded beachball.

    I went back to the previous version of ID and it works like a charm.

    Please help if you know something about this problem.

    2nd question is: has that it's gotten past the loop of the Adobe diagnostic process. I have no way to contact their technical support. Online, it keeps looping to describe the product/problem etc. Really annoying and I wonder what I have to pay for.

  • How to stop the "Firefox" account set up the tab opens automatically

    My default home page is set to Yahoo, but everytime I open a new tab from the home page, the "Create a Firefox account" tab opens automatically every time. It is annoying because I double tabs I want open and need to keep close account of Firefox page. I don't want an account Firefox then how can I stop this tab always open?
    Thank you.

    Yes, this page is to create a Firefox Sync account.

    In order to change the URL of the new tab:

    1. Enter Subject: config in the address bar
    2. Accept the warning
    3. Find the line browser.newtab.url
    4. Double-click the value (present value should be https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/40.0.2/firstrun/) and enter another URL or on: newtab
    5. Click OK and close all: config tab

    Note
    The pref browser.newtab.url does more than 41 of Firefox.

    This is for security reasons: too many modules and malware use this feature to set their own new tab URL.

    Then, you can use this add-on: new tab override.
    When the add-in is installed, open about: config, find pref [email protected] and change the value to the desired URL.

  • How to stop the "sweetpacks" opens automatically on the tabs?

How can I get rid of sweetpacks?

    Always download Firefox from the official site on www.mozilla.org. If this is where you have Firefox, then the malicious software was already on your system and it hung in Firefox, when he started.

    The latter seems likely, given that you have not enabled malicious extensions. Read the following article. Remember to update the various anti-malware applications before you scan your system.

    If this does not resolve the problem, visit a forum specializing in the removal of malware.

  • Document pages block for another user has the file open

    Hello

    I'm using Pages 5.6.2

    In our society, we begin using pages for the edition of our records. We use a shared network of synology to quickly access our files. It's a DS-209 + II.

    Now, we had several issues where a user still had a file open and open another file.

    My question: is it possible to have pages or finder or what ever tells me that the file is open by another user?

    I think something like Microsoft Word has set up: "the document is locked for editing by another user.

    Please let me know if there is a way to have this feature in place or to have a sort of work around.

    Thank you very much!

    N ° not a feature of the Pages, or configurable one or the other. The work is to use Word only (a safer bet), or an edit shared management of the users of the document will be closing their documents Pages and exit Pages to release the locks on files - when they are done with the document.

  • Synchronize the left pane in the Explorer with the file open

    Is there some way you can sync the tree in the left pane in the Explorer with the file you have open right?  I realize you can use the address bar to make a basic up and down navigation but I often need to move freely through the hierarchy of folders and countless levels of tree in the left pane of the hand opening becomes very tedious.  Since we have been able to do for going on 18 years now, it's a little disconcerting, to say the least, to be withdrawn.

    Sometimes, you need a context!

    I myself discovered that if you right click on an empty space in the left pane (folder), you get a menu containing two options, 'show all files' and 'develop in the current folder. Believing that the empty space is a bit complicated and the options are sticky (it is the same than to go through the 'Folder Options' dialog box), but it's probably the best approximation of what we need to do.

    In fact, I'm used to it already, I just select the (second) option once synchronize the left pane and then deselect it immediately.
