What's happened to my Navigation pane - I can't hide favorite links more

In the Vista file Explorer, I use to be able to drag my folders to the top pane to hide my favorite links (which I never use).

I had a system crash that required me to rebuild my whole system and install all recommended updates, but I don't know what is different because of this.

Am I missing something simple?

  • Navigation pane completely screwed after Parent folder library moved to the desktop by mistake

    Please someone help me! I was at the own temporary file last night and somehow in the process I need to have done drag the folder of libraries under the desk on the Navigation pane. So I had Office appear under Favorites and then as one of the bureau which had libraries in it as well as Documents, music, photos and videos. I found a suggestion of support that says right click on libraries and then "restore default". However, this does not work. I then found another suggestion of support under another question posted and he said to go to your username and to restore by default and now ALL my files are appearing under the second office. (First Office is always appear under Favorites.) When I watch the office itself there is no shortcut to libraries. I just like my tree organized as the default Windows Navigation pane. I am petrified to do more on mine because I don't want to make one delete a folder and lose anything! On top of that, I have Sync of sugar which is on my old laptop and my other I'm talking about now. I had taken two laptops for "Geek Squad" to have everything transferred on another and explained that I had a storage cloud sync program. They said they knew all about who and how to get all the data on the new laptop. I told them that I didn't need to use the cable to transfer mobile to mobile. HOWEVER, when I picked up the laptops, they HAD used the cable and all the folders have been duplicated! I didn't know how to get rid of duplicates (not knowing which was the record 'original' and who was the double, so I left it alone.) At least I knew how to find my stuff! I wish I could post a screenshot of what it looks like now, but I can't understand how to do it anymore. I press prt sc to copy it to the Clipboard and then try to paste here, but it does not work. Sorry this is so long and hiking but I wanted to try to describe what happened. I'm desperate! Any help is appreciated!

    Well good to remove the nine, just right-click and use 'delete' or 'delete' (varies according to the place where the icon).  Without prejudice to the because you can always pick up something from the trash if you accidentally delete.

    What I would say is just first TreeViewImageSet.Custom to folder Explorer all values by default in order to boot from a fresh install by default.  To do this:

    1. Click on organize at the top left of the folder, choose folder and Search Options
    2. Click 'Restore defaults' on all 3 tabs, and then click OK.
  • Navigate from a to an other navigation pane navigation pane

    Hi all

    In the navigation pane, we can spread one component to the next.

    But what happens if I want to navigate from a navigation to another part of the navigation pane.

    for example: -.

    hand. QML: -.

     ActionItem {
                    title: qsTr ("ReadFromSD")
                    imageSource: "asset:///images/action_addcontact.png"
                    ActionBar.placement: ActionBarPlacement.OnBar
    
                    onTriggered: {
                        if (_addressBook.detectSD()) {
                            var page = secondPageDefinition.createObject();
                            navigationPane.push(page);
                        }
                    }
                }
    

    and the second page definition is like: -.

     ComponentDefinition {
                id: secondPageDefinition
                source: "filePicker.qml"
                Page {
                    Container {
    
                    }
                            paneProperties: NavigationPaneProperties {
                                backButton: ActionItem {
                                    title: "Back"
                                    onTriggered: {
                                        /*username.text = "";
                                        password.text = "";*/
                                        navigationPane.pop();
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }
            }
    

    The problem that is happening, is that the flow is not the trigger from one component to the other:

    NavigationPane {
        id: navigationPaneFilePicker
    
        onPopTransitionEnded: page.destroy()
    
        Page {
            titleBar: TitleBar {
                title: qsTr ("Select contacts File")
            }
    
            Container {
                layout: DockLayout {}
    
                // The background image
                ImageView {
                    horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Fill
                    verticalAlignment: VerticalAlignment.Fill
    
                    imageSource: "asset:///images/background.png"
                }
                FilepickerScrollView {
    
                    Container {
                        horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Fill
                        verticalAlignment: VerticalAlignment.Fill

    When I click the first page its not sailing does not to the second. When the second does not have the navigation pane it worked correctly, but as soon as I added the tag in navigation pane to it it stopped working

    Please suggest

    The element root firstPage.qml and secondPage.qml doesn't have to be a NavigationPane but a page element. You already have a navigationPane in your hierarchy of context and as a result, you can refer to your main QML file NavigationPane directly.

    For example:

    hand. QML:

    include bb.cascades 1.3
    
    NavigationPane {
      id: root
      Container {
        Button {
          text: "Push the first pane"
          onClicked: {
        var first = firstPane.createObject();
        root.push(first);
          }
        }
      }
      attachedObjects: ComponentDefinition {
        id: firstPane
        source: "firstPage.qml"
      }
    }
    

    firstPage.qml

       include bb.cascades 1.3
    
        id: navigationPane
    
        // The initial page
        Page {
            content: Container {
                Button {
                    text: "Display First Page"
    
                    onClicked: {
                        var second= secondPage.createObject();
                // Use the navigationPane defined in main.qml
                        root.push(second); //pushes the defined component definition (first)
                    }
                }
            } // end of Container
    
          attachedObjects: [
            ComponentDefinition {
                id: secondPage
                source: "place the asset filepath to your secondPageQML here"

  • Rebranding BC: Delegate domain - what is happening to my email and current Web site?

    Hello

    as new Premium partner, I want to rename BC.

    Once I have move or "delegate" my current domain in British Colombia, what will happen?

    I studied on the redelegation process, so I more or less know, what I have to do. But:

    Once that my domain name is made a new delegation in BC:

    Can I still access my webssite?

    Can I send and receive emails?

    And:

    What happens to my emails always 'hosted' to my 'old' provider´s server? Y is there a risk of losing one of my emails and how do I move them to BC´s platform?

    What happens to the Web space on my 'old' provider´s, where my current site is still hosted server? Is there a risk to lose the 'normal' access to my site and how I actually move the site of BC?

    Thanks for any help,

    Hermann

    Hi Hermann!

    Rebranding basically doesn't really affect your account much.  It is simply the whitelabeled system is more SEO BC in the system URL and images (logo, email system, etc.)

    • Can I still access my website? Yes, add you add the domain for your site and redelegate that you can access using the new domain name or the URL system prior.
    • Can I send and receive emails? Yes, it's where you choose when you add your domain on the site.  You will be presented with options for your e-mail settings (with BC or remain outside).  Choose accordingly and note BC has no email migration so eager to keep all your existing emails you will need back-up or continue to use the external email provider.
    • What happens to my emails always 'hosted' to my 'old' provider´s server? Y is there a risk of losing one of my emails and how do I move them to BC´s platform?  When you add your domain to your partner site name choose this service.  But let the e-mail "external supplier" settings, assuming you want to keep the emails with the external mail host. So basically you can Rebrand everything by having the external email provider.
    • What happens to the Web space on my 'old' provider´s, where my current site is still hosted server? Is there a risk to lose the 'normal' access to my site and how I actually move the site of BC? When you are ready, you will need to add your domain to the site partner and redelegate most in British Colombia.  Don't forget to e-mail if still wanting to remain external select "external supplier" for the e-mail settings.  Then to reach out to our partners a complete support for rebranding. Also, if you have additional questions, you can work directly with our partner to help operational.

    For more details on the process of renewal of the image, please see this article. Probably best to follow along with the steps in the articles when you're ready.

    Hello

    Is there a signal on the level of the page that will tell me when a page is in jumps from the navigation pane.  I wish I could stop some it is made on the page when he jumped and no longer in background processing mode.

    Where would I best handle this? I know that there is an onPopTransitionEnded on the navigation pane, but I would prefer to deal with in the qml file if possible...

    Thank you

    You can use the property on the page and Cisse inside the onPushTransitionEnded / onPopTransitionEnded
    For example:

    Page{
        property bool isActive: false
        onIsActiveChanged:{
            If (isActive){
                // start processing
            }else{
                // stop processing
            }
        }
        ....
    }
    

    And

    onPushTransitionEnded: page.isActive = trueonPopTransitionEnded: page.isActive = false

  • Windows Explorer expands inappropriate files, the folder that develop you to the bottom of the jump navigation pane

    When you use a left-hand Navigation pane, if there is enough of folders in the navigation pane as you have a vertical scroll bar, if you click on a folder with the mouse (to see supported in the right pane), and then expand the folder (either by clicking on the symbol + or with the arrow key) , then the left pane automatically scrolls upward as far as possible such as the folder you expanded is yet in sight at the bottom of the pane. This command deletes the folder under the mouse, where it should stay.

    This is certainly a bug, as it only happens the first time you try to extend a record of the way. After having done it once, you can scroll the navigation (left) pane so that the file in question is back in the middle of the pane, and it will expand and contract as expected, remaining under the mouse.

    Because many people seem interested in this question, I'll post some info about my recent contact with Microsoft about this issue.

    It seems that everywhere where this issue has been spoken, all someone would get to a Microsoft employee was a response to "Thank you for your comments" mat. Never the validity of the issue has been discussed or even acknowledged. I decided to write an e-mail to the responsible man, Steve Ballmer, clearly the problem with links to a procedure step by step problem, this discussion and report bug with 220 votes (at the time). I realized that Steve would never read himself, but I thought that his email should get automatically transferred to a person who can actually read.
    Two days later I received an email from a specialist in defense of Microsoft saying a "case of grace" was created and the escalation of Windows team should get in touch with me. The next day, an engineer of the climbing sent ask when would be the right time to talk about issues on the phone. So it would be quite clear with what I was talking about, I've recorded a screencast walking through that was precisely the problem.
    Edit: I made a video more condensed showing the "record jump bug", see here.
    This has resulted in our discussions:
    1. engineers are aware of this problem.
    2. they may, or may not provide a fix for it.
    Nothing revolutionary, but it's a little more push in the right direction. In my opinion, post in this thread on the problem has practically no value. I suggest you:
    1 vote upward and commenting on the bug here:
    He said that the site is being monitored by the dev team.
    2. writing intelligent and without rudeness complaints that mention how the bug affects negatively your workflow file management every day. Send these to the top of the food chain of Microsoft until you get an answer. You are a paying customer and you deserve to be heard.
    I'm tired of dealing with him, so now use XYplorer when you perform heavy file management. It stings to have to pay for a decent file manager, but that's life. If this question bothers you at all, please comment and vote on the bugand write an email.
    13/09/11 PATCH: Bug is still present in Windows 8 Developer Preview, see here.
    01/30/12 UPDATE: Finally, we have a public recognition that this is actually a bug that needs to be addressed, and it will be apparently fixed in Windows 8 beta coming. It's good news, but I know I'll use Win7 for at least a year or two, as will be much, much more. We deserve a patch for this problem in Win7. Until that happens, keep Microsoft listening to this topic.
    FINAL THOUGHTS: It is a real bug with 645
    ! votes on their feedback page, however MS didn't intend to fix for Windows 7 users. The bug is fixed in Windows 8, which means nothing to many of us who do not intend to upgrade. If this bug really gets under the skin, I suggest to install the classic interface, which has been recommended several times in this thread. You can choose to install only the feature "Classic Explorer" which corrects this bug among others and even remember the old UI for copy of file which is so nice to have in return. I used it for many months now without worries.
    In addition, for those of you who think that they find a solution to this problem by changing just a few parameters options somewhere... Thank you for your desire to help each of us, but you do not have the same problem and please do not post here your 'solution '. If you read some of the 29 pages of this thread, you will see that all the imaginable solutions has been suggested. There is a bug in the browser itself. If you are using Windows 7 and plan to continue using it, your options are 1) use the classic interface, or 2) use a third-party files, such as XYplorermanagement tool. If you stumble across this thread because you noticed this bug, please vote for the bugand make 1 or 2.
  • I support a very large school district running Firefox 3.6. What will happen at the end of life date? In the online environment, we test this week.

    I run the test center for a very large school district with over 120 students of k. We have a current deployed at base of 54 client machines of k using Firefox 3.6. We have not upgraded for many reasons, of which the most important is to remove the possibility of use in navigation private students and dealing with plugin-updates for the digital non-born (read dumber than a bag of hammers users) that make up the majority of the customer base.

    We test ESR now, but only discovered this end of life for 3.6 is tomorrow, 4/24. We are currently in the middle of the scale of the State of online tests. The question is, what will happen tomorrow, when the browser will end of life. ESR wiki mentions that "an update to the current version of Firefox Desktop will be available through the Update Service Application"

    So the main question is, are my students/teachers goes to get a popup telling them that they have updated the browser if we have already turned off updates? If so, can I I disable remote using SCCM, because there will be all sorts of havoc.

    Please advise as soon as possible and thank you in advance.

  • My navigation pane items disappear... can anyone help me get it back?

    That's what I seehttp://tinypic.com/r/nye990/6

    But when I save a picture or something that looks like this http://tinypic.com/r/30vzygj/6

    I think that the "favorite links" is one missing. The navigation pane shows the favorite links are not displayed, but instead he said: (empty). The folders hidden may be the reason why they do not display. On the second picture in front records there is an arrow down, clicking on who should hide the folders and up arrow appears below. See the following llink to show how they should appear;

  • How can I get Vista navigation pane to only work for a specific folder view?

    I am running Windows Vista classic folders. Significant irritation is that I want to have the navigation pane enabled for the _only_ in my computer/Windows Explorer folder. I don't want that it activated for other folders with groups of icons for programs.

    But I find that when I turn it on for the first folder, it becomes activated for all. On the other hand, if I turn it off for a program icon folder, it is disabled for all files, including the Windows Explorer.

    So, how to customize the navigation pane to make it work for a folder specific _only_?

    The other models are for music or photos or videos or Documents (and I can't remember the fifth).  They show the different columns and present different data sorted differently.  I don't think they will solve your problem.

    Some general information here is on models and how to set any records that might be of interest to you (but will not solve your problem, I think):

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show how to reset the display settings for the Windows File Explorer, disable Automatic folder Type Discovery (which is I think what you want)and increase the folder display the cache to make Vista do not forget the display settings, the folder type template, the size or the position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

  • The single Win Explorer Navigation pane click on the name of the folder to expand the subfolders

    In Win XP, you can even click on the folder name to develop the next level of subfolders.

    In Win 7, it takes a double-click and the > is difficult to achieve.

    What a pain.  How can get fixed?

    Other than replacing by another file manager.

    Hello

    I understand that you are facing difficulties during the expansion of the subfolders on the Windows Explorer Navigation pane. I understand the inconvenience.

     

    You must expand the tree first and then do the following.

    1. open WindowsExplorer.

    2. expand and click on Tools folder options -->

    3 in the navigation pane, select the check box to display all records and extend automatically to the current foldedr and click ok.

    TabbedPane {
        showTabsOnActionBar: false
        Tab {
            title: qsTr("Home") + Retranslate.onLocaleOrLanguageChanged
            NavigationPane {
                id: navPane
                Page {
                    Label {
                          id: navLabel
                            text: "Filter 1"
                      }
                }
    
                onPopTransitionEnded: {
                    page.destroy();
                }
            }
        }
        Tab {
            title: qsTr("Tab 2") + Retranslate.onLocaleOrLanguageChanged
            onTriggered: {
                navLabel.text = "Filter 2";
                var page = page2.createObject();
                navPane.push(page);
            }
        }
        Tab {
            title: qsTr("Tab 3") + Retranslate.onLocaleOrLanguageChanged
            onTriggered: {
                navLabel.text = "Filter 3";
                var page = page3.createObject();
                navPane.push(page);
            }
        }
    
        attachedObjects: [
            ComponentDefinition {
                id: page2
                source: "Label2.qml"
            },
            ComponentDefinition {
                id: page3
                source: "Label3.qml"
            }
        ]
    }
