Has anyone had luck importing an r/exams QTI into Canvas "New Quizzes", or is an update forthcoming that would enable this? I saw this thread, Is exams2canvas compatible with Canvas New Quiz format?, but haven't found any updates since. Classic quizzes are scheduled to be deprecated this coming summer 2022. I am able to "import" the qti21 format (in that it doesn't throw an error), but the image files are all missing and much of the math is rendered incorrectly.

I'm looking for a plugin which can convert word (docx / doc) to pdf Without Microsoft.Office.Interop and Open Source one. There are questions asked on it but no solution is provided or I didnt found any.
Any suggestion or references will be much appreciated!.
You could do this using Aspose.Words project, however this library is not an opensource (license is required and cost some money): https://blog.aspose.com/2020/01/02/convert-word-doc-docx-to-pdf-in-csharp-net-core/
On our project we needed to keep formating as close as the original. But every plugin we tried never came close to the original.
We opted for I Love Pdf utilities.
Word to PDF
They have a well documented API for some language (including .Net) and it works great.
You can process 250 files freely every month and if you need more, it's not that expensive.
Hope this helps
I have a lot of UI Automation JavaScript code which is no longer useable since support was dropped in Xcode.
I'm looking for any means possible to try an reuse as much of the code as possible.
I just wondered if there's is any sort of migration path or hack to make it useable ?
I haven't seen anything so far.
Well, I've waited enough for iOS QA Automation Engineers to share their professional view on the matter, but since none showed up, I'll give it a go.
First off, you are not alone. UI Automation support has been dropped since XCode 8 and a lot of other people had the same problem.
The main takeaway from all the materials I've read online is this:
The only version of Appium that will work with xcode 8 is 1.6.0. You can download the beta now. Instruments/UIAutomation have been removed and only Appium's XCUITest support will work moving forward.
Moving forward, the best document to get you started with your test case migration, or at least give you some helping tips is this one: Migrating your iOS tests from UIAutomation (iOS 9.3 and below) to XCUITest (iOS 9.3 and up) [UPDATED LINK].
The article covers some pretty hot topics considering your situation:
Element class name schema;
Page source;
Locator strategies (with xpath emphasis);
Dependencies, API differences, etc.
You will have to start using appium-xcuitest-driver instead of appium-ios-driver.
Installation & Setup:
Apart from the relevant info that you'll find on appium-xcuitest-driver's official GitHub repo, the bread and butter is here: Setting up iOS Real Devices Tests with XCUITest.
Getting started with a new framework/set of libs, or migrating from one tool-suite to another is always hard, but from past experiences, once you have a working setup and build your first test case, everything else will go smoothly afterwards.
Finally, I could pro-long the response, but the official documentation will always do a better job.
Hope is helps in any way, shape, or form. Cheers!
Is thegraphpackage still available in Roo? I would like to create graphs with Neo4J but i can't find any recent documentation or examples about the feature.
No, the graph package Neo4j is not available in the current, 1.2.5, release of Roo and history informs us that any promise to restore support should be viewed skeptically
This antiquated exchange suggests, along with 3-4 others dated as recently as one year ago, that there is little ground for hope. Moreover, the GitHub activity charts (Sorry, my SO "reputation" is not adequate to post another link. You'll have to figure this one out without help.) show zero development activity related to Spring Roo during the last month. I didn't dig much deeper but the front page shows essentially no activity in the last six months. That's not a good sign. I did read that a new development partner has just signed on, so maybe things will improve. I'm very new to Roo but I'm finding bug after bug, and problem after problem, many of them outstanding, like the absence of Neo4j, for years. I really like Roo's ideas and design but I'm not sure that I'm willing to bet on its robustness let alone its longevity. I don't seem to be alone. I searched the web and asked here but can't find direct evidence (that is, code that I can examine) that it's being used on real-world projects. Folks pick it up and toy around with it. But if they write more than 40 lines or so of code they don't open their source. (Please understand that I'm no deliberate detractor; I'd be delighted to be proven wrong on this point!)
One of the saddest consequences of not having Neo4j is that one of the three existing Roo books, Getting Started with Roo, takes it on the chin beginning near the end of the first chapter. This is otherwise an outstanding book. But the absence of Neo4j kicks its ongoing-project model right upside the head. I know the labor entailed by writing a book. Josh Long must be severely disappointed.
More generally, it seems that tech authors are being implicitly encouraged to write small chunks of code that stand on their own, so that their book won't be damaged overall by one or two technological changes. Of course, readers then never get to see code of significant size. I don't have a solution to offer but I'm definitely feeling the problem.
Edited: Because at least one passerby is demonstrably incapable of understanding the implications of repeatedly broken promises to restore support for Neo4j "in the next few days" several years ago I have explicitly spelled out the fact that support is not currently available and no credible promise of soon restoration is to be found. Please note that a broken promise to restore support implies that support was not restored and subsequent promises to restore support should be treated with some degree of skepticism. So, those who suppose that this answer is "not useful" would likely benefit from the web site. readingcomprehensionconnection.com. Or perhaps the problem is one of attention deficit, which makes it difficult to read more than a few phrases before forming a necessarily hasty conclusion. In that case, one might consider cutting back on the comic books in favor of some reading material without speech balloons. I suppose that I am not alone in finding it difficult to incorporate speech balloons in my merely textual SO comments. Perhaps a future release of SO will support a communication style more familiar and therefore more to one's liking.

P.S. I initiated Facebook correspondence with Josh Long, who along with Michael Hunger, are the two folks driving the Roo - Neo4j interface, as far as I can tell. If he responds, I'll update this comment.
I've been doing some work in VB.Net with Directshow over the past 3-4 weeks. I'm creating an application to keep tags on a video and eventually want to be able to extract the tagged parts of the video to a new file. In a video that is 2 hours long I might want to extract say 50 10-15 second "clips" up to 15 times (event tagging). This will be for a free application.
I've found it brilliant (and easy) to render / seek / play clips, etc on XP-Win7 with no issues. I've "discovered" the joys of GraphEdit, creating graphs, the issues with COM in VB.NET, GMFBridge, ....etc.
Now I need some advice. Am I using the right technology. Directshow seems to be very resistant to the idea of "open video", "seek to clip", "write clip to file", .....repeat for all clips, close file. I can sort of do this already if I visibly render the video but would need to do it as a background task faster than realtime render speed.
Things that seem to be missing are:
- an example of anyone doing anything similar (export multiple clips to a single file)
- no easily available 64bit compressors (lots of 32bit stuff around)
- all the references and examples I do find are VERY old
- VB.NET is not the first "port of call" for DirectShow developers
So, the question is, should I be using something else?
If not, has anyone done anything similar before. I'm not looking for their code, I just want some guidelines as it takes ages to figure things out in DirectShow and VB.Net just using trial & error (and Google).
I've looked at AFORGE (no sound), FFMPEG (command line toolset), Media Foundation (reluctant to throw away XP) and a variety of commercial helper libraries but not really getting any further.
Apologies for the length but I wanted readers to understand the background.
All help appreciated.
To output clips to a single file Microsoft had created the "DirectShow Editing Services". Sometimes it works, sometimes not. We use it in our software to create videos from clips like you. With a little bit work you can also include effects to the video.
It is also possible to use AviSynth. It's a scripting system and frameserver for DirectShow.
As I know, with MediaFoundation you can also create a video from multiple clips, but I never tried this.
Recently we started using some code names for several different types of prototype applications all following a theme. This made things a little more fun and was a great idea.
The problem is that Im not too sure how people deal with migrating a codebase from "codename" state into version 1.0 state which may have a proper name... not something that a client really shouldnt see :)
We are using Visual Studio at the moment, and I can see that you can change the assembly name, but there are references to the namespaces, etc... that would really be a large change to make.
Do people bother changing things like namespaces before the v1.0 release?
I prefer to change all references including project names, folders, namespaces, everything whenever the real name changes. It can be a bit of a pain, but it's better in the long run, especially when new developers are introduced to a project and are not familiar with the history.
Some companies continue to use code names internally even after the real name is decided and released. Even today there are some places where "Opus" shows up in reference to Microsoft Word (when digging into window handle info, not any published api or ui).
If you keep code names around, you end up with a mess and a large document to have to know what is what.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_codenames
I've always considered development names to live in a different space than the deliverable product name. Unless the development name is profane, or you are producing libraries or APIs, I don't see necessary harm from the development name appearing in a symbol table or sumptin'. (Your customers will generate their own profanities for your code, anyway ;)
Sam's answer sort of agrees with this stance, if the development names never got outside the code pit, there wouldn't be a Wikipedia page listing them.
