In the address bar of the browser navigation tab, it shows the absolute path of the file, but it is so long that it gets truncated and I can't read the exact file that I'm working on! Is there any way to fix this?
Yeah, I got it... just hover your mouse over the truncated field for a couple seconds and a tooltip will pop up with the full address. I was just frantically clicking on it like an impatient moron and it was canceling the scheduled tooltip display.
I'm not sure what a "browser navigation tab" is. In Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows, the full url is displayed in the title bar of the document. When documents are maximized a tab will display the file name, and the full file url will display in the title bar on the right hand side. This full url gets truncated when there are too many documents open. The truncation is done from the left so you may lose some of the folders, but you should still see the file name. If this is the case, then a quick solution is to close some documents. Or Perhaps don't nest your files so deeply, or don't have really long file/folder names.
Another option is an extension that I wrote a while ago called Document Path Toolbar: http://communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=A01CEAEA3CA40B36 The extension adds a toolbar that has a text field that displays the full url to the local file. It has an option that allows you to updated the width of the text field if you have longer file paths (I think that such modifications requires a restart of Dreamweaver). It is commercial but not much. As I no longer contribute to CommunityMX, I won't receive anything for a purchase should you decide it is something that you could benefit from.

I have a situation where I need to merge several classes manually. They contain a huge amount of overrides within an 18,000 line CSS file.
I started making some changes to the huge CSS file and I realize that CSS loads the last case of a property so I did this all very carefully. For the most part things worked well. But, I did find one icon that was wrong and one text link that was the wrong font. So I thought, is there a way that I can compare the before and after state of this work precisely. I don't mean visually. But instead like two full text output files of the results of the computed CSS for the entire current page so I can run a compare on them in notepad++
Sorry if this is an ignorant question as I am a self taught web novice.
You can use notepad ++ to compare two files. You will need a compare plugin to be installed in notepad ++. Please follow the steps below:
Install the Compare Plugin
1. Launch Notepad++.
Click the “Plugins” menu, select “Plugin Manager” and click “Show Plugin Manager.” A list of currently available plugins populates the plugin manager screen.
Check the box next to “Compare.”
Click the “Install” button at the bottom of the screen. The Compare plugin will download and install. If an administrator authentication dialog appears, click the “Allow” button.
Using the Notepad++ Compare Plugin
1. Launch Notepad++ and open the two files you wish to run a comparison check on.
Click the “Plugins” menu, select “Compare” and click “Compare.” The plugin will run a comparison check and display the two files side by side, with any differences in the text highlighted.
Reset to the original window configuration and appearance by clicking the “Plugins” menu, selecting “Compare” and clicking “Clear Results.”

I have been using the Scald module for few months now, with great experience. But there is one thing I haven't quite figured out yet.
When I have Drag'n'Drop enabled for a textarea (with CKEditor) I can drag images into the textarea and it displays in it's original size. If i Right-click the image I get the image properties for the image, but only at CSS level.
I'm trying to figure out how to add an Image Style to the image, so that my 4000x3000 image that I drag into the editor will be scaled down to a nicer 300x200 image where wanted, and therefor save some valuable bandwidth.
I found the answer after a pile of googling and reading through few articles. First and foremost it was the one about installing and configuring Scald. (Please Google, I can't post that many links :( )
I installed the CKEditor module, disabled the Wysiwyg module, downloaded the library into sites/all/libraries/, and finally read this article about contexts with Scald: https://drupal.org/node/2104651.
Bottom line, this is possible, but not easy (as sometimes Scald is), but when you get the hang of it, it's much better than the Media module.
I just struggled with this so thought I'd document how to set up contexts.
This is how you add new contexts which can use an image style formatter as a transcoder using the UI:
Go to /admin/structure/scald and click add context. Choose any name and details, but do check "Make parseable"
On the top of the original page for scald settings click "Contexts" in the upper right for "Image" under "Scald Unified Atom Types"
In the page that loads (/admin/structure/scald/image/contexts) you'll see your new context named. Open the fieldset and change the "Transcoder" from "Passthrough" to one of your image styles, e.g. "Large (image style)"
Now when you right-click on a image atom in a textarea wysiwyg and choose "Edit Atom Properties" you'll get a dialog with a new context to choose from. You can also go the default contexts provided by Scald and change them from "Passthrough" to one of your image styles.
Also, at the moment you also have to apply this change https://drupal.org/node/2046545 to scald.pages.inc or you'll lose your legend as you switch contexts or use the dev version. When 7.x-1.2 is released this will no longer be necessary.
I just ran across this same issue, using WYSIWYG 2.x-dev with CKEditor library 4.3, Scald 1.2. What fixed it was one of these things (sorry can't remember exactly which one):
Both "Scald DnD Integration" and "Scald SAS conversion" enabled in the relevant WYSIWYG profiles
The display settings for your image (at admin/structure/scald/image/display) have atom field set to enabled but image field set to hidden
You want to use the insert image module

The easiest way to assign image styles to images going into a wysiwyg area
Here is the site that I am working on.
http://afinderskeeper.com/
Here is an example of the logo image that I want at the top
http://afinderskeeper.com/?attachment_id=64
The theme is mayashop, and I am having issues with the images loading. In the media library I am able to see all the images. In the theme options menu in the backend, it asks me to enter the url of the logo image/ favicon/ etc. into the text field. So for the logo, I am simply pasting that second url from above, save, but I still get the placeholder box, not even the correct size.
I was having a redirect issue earlier and couldn't even view any of the images.
It just kept taking a while to load and coming up with a redirect loop. I found online someone had switched the permalink, so I switched mine from "month and name" to "default" and now I can at least see the images on the second link, but I still cannot figure out why they don't show up in the proper places. I hope this makes sense.
I will also mention that I don't really know any php so if this is what it takes, please be very specific for me, thanks!
You're using the wrong urls for the header image and, possibly, the other images that are giving you trouble as well. Instead of referencing http://afinderskeeper.com/?attachment_id=64, you want to edit that image from the media library and get the file url. It will be something like http://afinderskeeper.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/afk_header_logo.jpg
I am just a random stranger on the internet, but I have to thank you guys! Your solution fixed a problem on my site that has bugged me for ages!
To start off, I have searched google & SO (Images are showing up as red x's on IE, shows up fine in other browsers), tried out the suggestions, but they did not resolve my issue.
I am trying to create a transparent image by following the code shown at: How do you Draw Transparent Image using System.Drawing?. I am using a 3rd party mapping control "Simplovation"
However, this is what I get when I run my webpage:
How can I get the actual image to appear?
I tried converting to RGB, but no luck.
Based on the code in "How do you Draw Transparent Image using System.Drawing" the actual image should appear like:
There could be a long list of potential problems here, let's address 3 of them:
Permissions
You imply that you are creating this image from code. How are you doing that? If the IIs worker process, running in the user context of the application pool account, is creating this image, does it create/save it to a location that is accesible anonymously? (or whatever your authentication model is)
File locked?
Again, since you are implying your are creating the image from code, to you close the file handle properly?
Path.
You say that the image Url is correct, but are you really 100% sure? Press F12 on IE and use the developer tools to determine if you get any type of HTTP error when IE is trying to request the image.
IE is very specific about the image type and actual image content. In other words, IE cannot display if image type and content doesn't match.
For example, renaming just file extension - bmp to gif - doesn't work in IE, although it is not an issue in other browser.
Easiest way to check is to browse that page in other browser. If you can see image in other browser, you can make sure that image format is not correct.
This site is claiming to prevent the download of images and preventing screenshots. Is this truly possible to stop and can anyone crack it in their demos? What tools can be used to download an image set as a background?
http://www.iptlock.com/how.php
It isn't possible, no.
If the client can see it on their screen, then it exists on their computer. Even if that weren't the case, there is always the whole analog thing (people can literally take a picture of their screen).
If you have chrome: Just go to one of their demos, press ctrl+shift+c, and an inspector will show up, showing you all individual parts of the page. Then select the image from the list (servedemoimg) , right mouse click on it, and you can save the jpg. It is not possible to prevent people from downloading those files. And this company doesn't even make it particularly difficult.
Their scheme "works" by hiding the content whenever a key is pressed or the main window loses focus. They also attempt to detect that something has been copied to the clipboard and they replace it with some text ("It is prohibited to copy distribute or in any way alter these copyrighted images").
That means that if you press any key to copy the content, you'll just get the "locked" graphic. The same goes for switching to another app (like a screen capture app) because the screen capture app will have focus instead of the browser, causing the lock graphic to show. If you do manage to copy something to the clipboard, it immediately replaces the content with the text I mentined above.
Furthermore, their content is a background image so you can't easily print or right-click to copy the image by disabling JS.
However, it's pretty trivial to defeat. My first attempt using IE8 was trivial. When I went to the "protected" page, IE asked me if I wanted to allow the page to access the clipboard, and I clicked "Don't Allow". Then I pressed PrntScr and was able to paste the content into another program. This worked because that particular key isn't captured by the browser and I didn't allow the page to see my clipboard.
Then I tried again, this time allowing clipboard access. This time I used a screen capture program that automatically captures the foreground window after a set time delay. This worked because I was able to give the browser window focus, and the screen capture utility just saved the image as a file instead of putting it on the clipboard.
Lastly, I just saved the source as a file and saw background:url(servedemoimg.php?filename=IPTbusiness_graphicdesign_ITB). Just putting http://www.iptlock.com/servedemoimg.php?filename=IPTbusiness_lawyer_ITB into my browser's address bar made the complete "protected" content show up for me to download, print, email, etc.
