I want to sent mxd and qgs file to someone.
Do the layers have to be in the same folder as the mxd and qgs file (unzipped) in order for the other person to be able to see the shapefiles when they open the projects?
Well, in the case of mxd files (ArcGIS for Desktop) it depends if "Store relative pathnames to data sources" option is checked. You can find it in File --> Map Document Properties.
If it's checked than ArcGIS for Desktop will search for layers relatively to the mxd file. If it's not, than it'll search for them in exact location you added them from.
You can find more info in the ArcGIS documentation on referencing data in the map, as well as here or here.
I believe it's similar for qgs i.e. Quantum GIS.

I am running Excel version 16.45 on Mac.
I have created a .iqy and saved it in the Queries directory alongside certain templates which were already there.
I go to Data/Get External Data/Run Web Queries. While the templates are accessible, my file is visible but greyed out (same thing happens if I save the file in a different directory).
Would anyone be able to help?
According to your information, I would like to confirm whether the issue occurs when you follow the steps as below:
1.Create a Word file, paste the web URL.
2.Save the Word as .iqy with .txt format.
3.Choose MS-DOS as coding.
4.Create an Excel file and click "Data >Get External Data >Run Web Query (Or Run Saved Query) " of the Bar
I was able to address the issue as follows.
When navigating to the relevant directory with Finder, the '.iqy' file appears to be appropriately named (as per Image 1).
In fact, if you reach the file in Terminal, the file is saved as '.iqy.txt'.
So all I had to do is rename the file, simply removing the '.txt' string at the end.
Screen you see when navigating in Finder
(Once the hyperlink is created I will use it in OneNote to link to a file on my own Onedrive, for only me to use !)
When I view a file in Word online the URL displayed is:
https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=53B31F7A44698440&resid=53B31F7A44698440%2130033&app=Word
Say I want to insert a link to the file in a website or OneNote page, such that it has NOT been shared with anyone. ie Only I have permissions to view it like the file reference by the above link.
Can I simply use the above URL as a link?
I have used OneDrive sharing, but I think all the methods given result in the file being shared with other named people or publically. eg like this one:
http://1drv.ms/1zOli6p
...which when viewed in word online shows this URL:
https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=53B31F7A44698440&resid=53B31F7A44698440%2130035&app=Word
I have been experimenting and using the URL seems to work. However, if the above does work, what I don't get is why OneNote does not allow a link to be created to a file stored on Ondrive. (On my PC it sonly seems to allow links to locally stored files).
I have used GoogleDrive which allows you to select a file and right click it to "receive a link" which you can use in the manner described above. This is a really useful feature.
Note that in a similar way, I would like to create a link that causes onedrive to open and display a chosen folder. This seems to work ok when I use a URL this one that only I have permissions to view:
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=53B31F7A44698440&id=53B31F7A44698440%2130031
Any advise is really appreciated.

The links you copy/paste from your browser's address bar should work just fine, as your experiments have confirmed. If you're not trying to share the content with other people, you don't need to go through the sharing flows. You can just use those URL's.
From within OneNote itself you can also get links to content by right-clicking on a page/section/notebook and clicking 'copy link to page,' 'copy link to section,' etc.
You can open folder in OneDrive online (via browser or right clicking on the folder in File Explorer then selecting "view online") and click "get link" at the top. Just cut and paste into OneNote. From there you can edit/rename the link as usual.
Oddly, OneNote has functionality to copy a FILE link using the Insert > Link, but you can't stop at the folder level.
Ideally, I'd like the above option as well as dragging a folder from OneDrive within Windows File Explorer and have it ask me if I want to copy the entire folder or create a link.
I use links in format
https://onedrive.live.com/edit.aspx?resid=fd5d9e0ac8248db7!3447 (example, not real link)
or
https://onedrive.live.com/?id=fd5d9e0ac8248db7!3447
where
fd5d9e0ac8248db7 - is your ID number, and
3447 - is ID number of element (folder, Word file, OneNote notebook, media etc.)
P.S. Link format for open .one files online and folders inside OneNote online:
https:/ /onenote.officeapps.live.com/o/onenoteframe.aspx?Fi=SDfd5d9e0ac8248db7!3447&H=emul&C=5_810_BN1-SKY-WAC-WSHI&ui=Ru-RU
(example, not real link)
where
https:/ /onenote.officeapps.live.com/o/onenoteframe.aspx?Fi=SD_____yourIDnumber___!___elementID____&H=emul&C=5_810_BN1-SKY-WAC-WSHI&ui=Ru-RU
OneDrive has a "Copy link" function in a few places that you would think does what it states. However, as soon as you select "Copy link", a share is created with the defaults of your OneDrive (which could be your organisation's). In my case, the default is share with editing permissions. This is probably the last thing you would expect when you are requesting to "Copy link". This is really quite dangerous, since the now shared link could be used by anybody if it subsequently forwarded to others.
Why would you want to copy a link? My use case is that I have a folder shared as read only with specific people. I want to give them a link to a sub-folder or file that they already have access to, but I do not want to create new permissions, that in my case give editing to anybody with the link!
It seems that the way to properly "copy a link" (literally) is as suggested ie copy the URL from the address bar.
Is it possible to pass paths to all files currently selected in the project view to an external tool?
I know you can use the $FilePath$ macro but it only seems to pass the path to the first selected file ignoring the rest and no other macro seems suitable. A workaround would also be using all the files from the parent directory, but that's not feasible in my case.
It's not possible right now, please vote for this feature request.
Enterprise Architect offers a handy feature to generate UML artifacts (or glossary entries) from external sources that can be imported into the project as RTF files.
These RTF can be attached to an existing project as a "linked document" or "UML document artifact" (using the << document >> stereotype for an "artifact" model entity).
This is described here on page 36:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/downloads/whitepapers/Requirements_Management_in_Enterprise_Architect.pdf
Is the same possible with a file that is formatted as PDF? For example using an add-in?
I tried to drag-and-drop it or import PDFs the same way as an RTF but this failed.
Rationale: Most customer input comes in PDF format.
.doc or .docx may also be of some help.
I know it could all be copy-pasted into an RTF but that is quite error-prone.
Thanks in advance
The only external artifacts that can be stored and edited inside EA are RTFs. You can also store, but not edit, bitmaps (under Settings - Images).
There is a third-party Add-In for MS Word and Excel documents called EADocx. This integrates EA and Word/Excel, but AFAIK the documents are never stored in the EA model.
If you just want to refer to files stored in the file system, there are two ways of going about it.
The Common toolbox allows you to create hyperlinks, which can refer to (among other things) external files. Double-clicking the hyperlink will cause EA to open the file, in its built-in editor or hypertext browser if it can, otherwise with the associated Windows program.
You can also add File properties to just about any element, eg classes, requirements or use cases. Open the element properties, select the Related - Files tab and add the file path.
Disadvantage with the hyperlink is that it is a diagram object, and as such is only visible in the diagram where it was created (does not appear in the project browser).
A File property, on the other hand, cannot be opened with a simple double-click; you have to go to the Related - Files tab and Launch the file from there. Also, the element does not indicate visually that it has a File property. However, creating an Add-In which launches a file on double-click is a simple job.
I don't remember where I heard about it, (I think I was searching up on how selectors worked and it ended up not being exactly the same as a callback function) and I can't confirm it. But more importantly than that, is there a way I could get a list of the function names from another application?
See class-dump.
You can sometimes see a list of the method names in an application. Find the .ipa file for the app (possibly in the Music->iTunes->Mobile Applications directory on a Mac). Make a copy of one of the ipa files and change it from .ipa to .zip. Unzip the file and in the Payload folder, there's a file with the same name as the app. Right click on it and "Show Package Contents". In there, you'll find another file with the same name as the app (with no extension). This is the executable file for the app. If you open it in a text editor like BBEdit, you'll sometimes be able to see some method names, as well as a list of the frameworks the app is built against. You can find the path name where things were kept too, often with the developer's name.
For example, looking into the Japanese dicitonary Daijirin, I can see these methods:
-[HMWebSupport openMONOKAKIDOSupportWithSafariForView:style:]
-[HistoryViewController viewWillAppear:]
I can also see that one of the developers was called Norihito, and he was using SVN: /Users/norihito/Developer/SVN/Mobile/DAIJIRIN/Other
Other applications (like Weightbot) don't show as much information. I don't know the reason it shows up some times and doesn't other times.
