We have an installer that places launch icons on the Gnome2 desktop. We have no control over where they wind up on the desktop; their ordering is apparently random, and often different from one install to the next. The user can easily clean them up by right-clicking the desktop and selecting "Clean Up by Name" but we would like to automate this.
Is it possible to trigger this same action through scripting?

We are trying to automate the installation testing using UFT.
But, UFT is not capturing the installshield screens when we click on record.
Any suggestions?
It is just showing empty test case when we click on record.
Even manual creation of scripts also not showing.
Installshield setup.exe uses internally msiexec.exe.
Does it effect anything as the background process name is changing?
Have you selected Record and run test on any open Windows-based application in the Record -> Record and Run Settings?
If you have and it still doesn't work, it may be that the installation is running in a higher security level than UFT.
You could try using UFT's Insight option in order to work around this.
I am using GitLab in combination with Sourcetree. Every time I want to commit something, I would go to my Domino Designer and right click the database, click Team Development and use 'Sync with ODP...'.
Most of the time everything works perfectly fine but sometimes the synchronization dialog pops up and just wont go away. In my Sourcetree I can see that some files are waiting to be commited but those files are not all.
So the dialog shows up, wont go away and says "Progress information" "Exporting..." and thats it.
There is no "use in background" button there and the 'cancel' button is disabled.
At this point the only thing I can do is to shut down the Designer using the task manager but the problem still wont go away even after restarting my computer and VirtualBox which I am working on (The designer runs on the VM). The only thing that changes: It sometimes gets stuck "later" in the progress.
I have read the designer hangs often due to automatic synchronization. In my case this feature is disabled.
Is there someone who can tell me what causes this problem and how I can fix it?
- Thank you in advance
(The synchronization is in progress for roughly four hours now, with no change)
Are you able to track it down to a specific design element? If there is a corruption in the DXL, the export to the ODP will probably fail. In Package Explorer you can use the "Open With..." right-click menu option to open as XML. Similarly, using the menu options to export as DXL might also highlight any corruption in DXL. Also, is the NSF local or on a server. If it's on a remote server, that may impact the performance of syncing to an ODP (which will be local).
We are using Domino Designer and Sourcetree in combination with Mercurial and Bitbucket for about a year now.
We suffered a lot of difficulties: "hanging" sync, corrupted custom controls, missing files, lot of stress etc.
What I did find out: most of the syncing problems have something to do with the file IconNote in the resources.
Sometimes the associated source contains another version of this resource, so it creates an IconNote.orig. Whenever this file exists, the syncing will go wrong. I guess that IconNote.orig isn't allowed in Resources and so the syncing stops without any warning(!) and often corrupted files.
It took me a very long time find out, but now I know: If IconNote exist in the Git, I delete it instantly! Syncing goes well aftwerwards.
I created a setup file for my project with advanced installer but when i try to uninstall the package from control panel i don't see any dialog showing up telling me that uninstallation is a success, it's just run, uninstalling the application and then close. how can i add a dialog to show after uninstallation process?
I'm using advanced installer 12.3.1 and I'm using a custom theme if that is relevant to the question.
It's because your MSI uninstallation through Control Panel goes in Basic UI mode.
There are several ways to do what you want:
If you need simple end success or failure dialog:
you need to create a custom action which will change INSTALLUILEVEL to INSTALLUILEVEL_BASIC and INSTALLUILEVEL_ENDDIALOG. Please refer these links to find more information about it: MSDN and MSDN
The second way is a trick to hide Uninstall button from Add\Remove Programs and left only Change button. Then you need hide Change and Modify buttons from Maintenance dialog window in AdvancedInstaller (InstallShield, Orca, InstEd, etc). In this case you will receive uninstallation in Full UI mode.
I have a weird problem that after installing software apps on my computer, I cannot seem to be able to click on the menus.
I can actually click on the menus but this doesn't invoke the menu commands, i.e perform analyses or show drop down menu items. I can however access these commands using the respective keyboard shortcuts.
I can use many apps on my computer but this problem pertains to specific analytical apps, namely SPSS and Tableau.
Any help will be appreciated.
If this is happening in multiple apps, it must be an issue with your OS/hardware or something general and not an issue with specific applications.
How can I make changes to my main Application menu In Gnome3, Any configuration files Or any tool do this out There?
What do you mean by "main applications menu"? Are you referring to the 'Applications' section in the Activities Overview or do you have a GNOME Shell Extension which adds an applications menu to one of the panels?
In either case, they would be based on the Desktop Entry Specification and the Desktop Menu Specification from freedesktop.org.
So, if you just need to manipulate which applications appear in which categories you would edit the Categories key in the applications' .desktop file.
You can use Desktop Entry Editor to edit .desktop files in a GUI (run it as root to edit desktop entries for applications installed to the system dirs /usr/share/applications and /usr/local/share/applciations and run it as a normal user to create your own custom application launchers in ~/.local/share/applications.
You can also still use the GNOME 2-style menu editor in GNOME 3, alacarte, which is in the repos for most distros.
Install the alacarte the menu editor used to be exist in Gnome-2
I am on ArchLinux flow this:
