In Lion and Mountain Lion you can double-tap-3-fingers to look up word from dictionary. This gesture is so quick, clean and nice way to search for words, but it doens't support custom translations.
Eg. it supports japanese-english translation, but I would need finnish-english translation. Is there a way to add such dictionary. Or write custom function to lookup. Function could also use google translation api, but I don't know how to implement it.
Thanks in advance!
I'm also looking into this. I think it's theoretically possible to create a new OSX dictionary that calls Google Translate, but I'm not sure if anyone's done it.
Here's some info on creating dictionaries, and here's an Alfred plugin (plus shell script) that connects to Google Translate. I'll see what I can do with them.
Download the dictonary you want: finnish-english
To Install:
Unzip the file you downloaded. You will find that it contains a single file with the .dictionary extension. In typical Apple style, this is really a directory in disguise. Don't worry about it.
To install on your Mac, copy the .dictionary file to /Library/Dictionaries. You may need to supply an administrator password to do this.
If Dictionary.app is running, close it down and restart it.
Go into Dictionary.app's Preferences and make sure your new dictionary is checked.
More dictonaries: here
Want more? Downlaod DictUnifier and convert startDicts to Dictonary.app format. DictUnifiert automatically loads the dictionary to Dictonary.app
Enjoy!!!

I would like to access the history of what have been typed in the source panel in RStudio.
I'm interested in the way we learn and type code. Three things I would like to analyse are: i) the way a single person type code, ii) how different persons type code, iii) the way a beginner improve typing.
Grabbing the history of commands is quite satisfying as first attempt in this way but I would like to reach a finer granularity and thus access the successive changes, within a single line in a way.
So, to be clear, I'm neither looking for the history of commands or for a diff between different versions of and .R file.
What I would like to access is really the successive alterations to the source panel that are visible when you recursively press Ctrl+Z. I do not know if there is a more accurate word for what I describe, but again what I'm interested in is how bits of code are added/moved/deleted/corrected/improved in the source panel but not necessary passed to the Console and thus absent from the history of command.
This must be somewhere/somehow saved by RStudio as it is accessible by the later. This may be saved in a quite hidden/private/memory/process/... way and I have a very vague idea of how a GUI works. I do not know it if would be easily accessible, then programmaticaly analyzed, typically if we could save a file from it. Timestamps would be the cherry on top but I would be happy without.
Do you have idea how to access this history?
RStudio's source panel is essentially a view to an Ace Editor. As such you'd need to access the editor session's editSession and use getDocument or getWordRange along with the undo of the editSession's undoManager instance.
I don't think you'll be doing that from within RStudio without hacking on the RStudio code unless the RStudio Addin api is made to pass-thru editor events in the future.
It might be easier to write a session recorder as changes are made rather than try to mess with the undo history. I imagine you could write an Addin that calls a javascript to communicate over the existing RStudio port using the Ace Editor's events (ie. onChange).
As #GegznaV said, RStudio saves code history to a ".RHistory" file. It's in the "Documents" folder on my computer. It's probably the same folder if you're using Windows. If you do not know the location, you can find the file by searching.
It also allows saving RStudio history to a file manually. There is a "Save" button in the History panel. So you can also get a timestamp. You can ask different users to save their code history after they have finished writing code. It may be indirectly useful to your research.
We have a couple of relatively simple websites running on Adobe CQ 5.5 that were developed by a third party. I'm pretty familiar with how CQ works, but I'm working with somebody else's code here and I need to be able to search through all components in the system for a particular string.
The issue is that I can't seem to find a way to search across all of the various .jsp files stored with the various system components. I would have figured that the query tool in CRXDE Lite would have done the trick with something like this:
/jcr:root//*[jcr:contains(., 'Find this exact string in a JSP')] order by #jcr:score
But I've had no luck.
What I am looking for is some sort of global search that includes JSP files. Is that possible? Were I using a regular Java system, any IDE worth the download would be able to do this.
Thanks.
Might not be easiest way, but you can use the VLT tool to checkout the repository into your filesystem. Then you can lookup using whatever tool you prefer. It might even be faster in the long run
I don't have the actual answer but I suppose the JSPs are indexed via a filter that strips out some of their content.
It should be possible to configure the repository to index them as is instead, based on the info at http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/IndexingConfiguration and http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jackrabbit-text-extractors.html
Sorry about the vagueness of this answer - I know the basic principles but to provide the details I would need more time than I can afford now ;-)
I'm using KDE, and I'm toying with the idea of hacking the code for Dolphin File Manager (and potentially Konqueror if necessary) to get context-sensitive drag and drop behaviour (i.e. files are moved within the same partition, or copied if they're moved across partitions or the source is read only).
To do this, I think I'd need to find out the containing partition of the source and destination (easy enough on Windows using the drive letter, but on Linux, as mount points can be almost anywhere, it can't be reliably derived from the file path), and compare them.
Does anyone know how I can find out the partition that contains a given file?
It must be possible - I know Nautilus provides this sort of behaviour, but I'm not familiar enough with GTK to track down the appropriate section in the source code to see how its done...
Qt doesn't provide API for this. For POSIX, have a look at stat.
For KDE, you can use KIO::stat() to get mostly the same info as POSIX' stat function but asynchronously.
The device id should be in the field UDS_DEVICE_ID of the result.
I'm looking for a way to include a full blown English dictionary in an iPhone app (a word game), the database must be able to include all conjugation possibilities for verbs, must include singular and plural spellings. So my app can query the database to check if the spelling is correct.
Is there a free or commercial database that would include those data?
You can use UITextChecker for spell-checking.
Regarding a dictionary, when I built an iOS dictionary library sometime ago (www.lexicontext.com) I used WordNet. WordNet contains a lot of interesting semantic info ...
NSSpellChecker is your easiest option, but it might be more complete to use the online Scrabble official dictionary as well and check it against both (only one match required.)
You could do a web-service request using http://www.hasbro.com/scrabble/en_US/search.cfm
http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/cgi-bin/scrabble.cgi?Letters=&Pattern=______&MatchType=Exactly&MinLetters=3&SortBy=Alpha&SearchType=Scrabble
Change min letters to get different results
The best place to find a database for a spell-checker is probably a free text processing application. So, I'd try with Open Office version of Word. Download it, install it and simply find the dictionary file.
Open Office is licensed under LGPL, so it should be fine, just check if the licence covers the data as well (i.e. the dictionary file).
Maybe this English corpus helps: http://www.wordfrequency.info/free.asp
I'm writing an install file for a custom module, that needs to create some new nodequeues. But a drupal and google search are so far turning up empty. Anyone know how to do this?
Drupal 6
The closet thing you come to a API function to save nodes is nodequeue_save, but all you really need to do, is to insert some data to the {nodequeue_queue} table. You can do it yourself with SQL or use the function, but the result will be the same.
You should remember to add the nodequeue module as a dependency in your module's info file and check if it's installed before running your stuff in hook_install.
Some API documentation might help you on the road? http://api.lullabot.com/file/contrib/nodequeue/nodequeue.module
