I've taken a look at the Apple docs for creating help files that use the built-in help menu at the Apple doc site. I think I have a pretty good grasp on the concepts, as long in the tooth as they may be. I searched a bit further on the web for a shorter tutorial-ish way to do something, in my opinion, rather simple. I found a bunch and most describe a process found here.
However, for the life of me I can't get it working on 10.9 using Xcode 5.0.2. I have created the help files, added the Apple hooks in the header of the html file, run the Help Indexer, added the files to Xcode, and added both CFBundleHelpBookFolder and CFBundleHelpBookName to my Info.plist. The help menu item opens Help, however it does not open my help file. I get a page that says "The selected topic is currently unavailable."
Does anyone out there have a better tutorial to create a very simple help book and get it working?
I understand your confusion. When I first tried to add a Help Book to my application, it never seemed to work, but eventually using the Apple Help Programming Guide it got there. I found I had to actually install the app into /Applications before the system would find it. (I am not sure if this is strictly necessary).
NOTE I am not sure the link you listed is correct. The Apple Help Programming Guide states:-
Select the help bundle in the Add Files dialog and click Add.
Select the “Create Folder References for any added folders” radio button and click Add
PS I suggest you examine the Package Contents of your app, and check that it actually does contain the Help Book.

I find the suggestions useful, but good-lord I can't see what I'm doing. I can't find a setting to move the suggestions out of the way.
Unfortunately, users cannot currently change the position of the Intellisense info popup. There is an open issue for this but it hasn't received attention in a while.
Apologies if this belongs on a different stack exchange site.
Using Intellij Ultimate v 2017.1.1 on OSX Sierra, when I do a search in file, using CMD+f, I get an unusable full screen search dialog. Has anyone seen this ? Images attached.
Before clicking CMD+f (all is well)
I try to search for something:
Any help appreciated. The Internets has so far yielded no help.
This issue is already fixed, please see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-170295 for details.
It was caused by the Swing MigLayout misbehavior when system DPI was extremely high.
This can happen if you accidentally paste a huge block of code into the finder, try CMD+f and then CMD+a and finally delete.
Can someone please tell me how I can get the VBA IDE icons files [pictured]
I have spent the last several hours trying to find a way to expose them via FaceId all the links I have found are either for making a ribbon or a form with the faces on there I just want the files.
Google wasn't my friend this time, even with the advanced search tools where you can specify the type as an icon
I used the BeCyIconGrabber as detailed in the comment from #Vegard from How to Geek
Still took a while to find what I was after, I also found this which has some of the icons I was after.
Yes, this happens to people. Yes, I've looked at all the solutions.
This is different.
XCode starts and there is no error message, it just freezes. This is the screen I get:
That's it. No errors. I can't interact with it, I can't close it. The only thing I can do is use Show All Windows. There are five and yes I don't need them all (never did! don't know why I have them) but I can't close any of them. To get rid of it I need to do a hard reset.
I've tried deleting the library file in Finder as this was one of the solutions.
Nope.
Anyone any ideas?
I think it's XCode 6 (the latest) but I can't tell because I can't access the menu.
I ended up scouring Stackoverflow for ways to clear the startup process.
You hold cmd+shift when you start XCode - ONLY from the task bar, this does NOT work if you go into the Applications folder - and it will load blank.
Then you can load your project.
I havent seen this question asked here yet, which makes me wonder if its a common question at all! But hopefully someone out there knows!
I'm creating a catelog for the business I work for and the index page has to be done in Flash (I have no acess to the old program used). Basically how the CD Cat works (at least the old ones I have) you put the disc in, it auto launches, and an index pops up. On that index there are 3 links, Install, View, and Website (pluss an exit button). The Install button when pressed launches InstalShield Wizard which begins to then download the PDF files for the Cat (right now the catelog is comprised of the index page, and PDF files. If you click the 'view' button it goes to a PDF index of all the companies products.) and a link to the website. Basically when the whole thing is done installing, there are 2 icons on the desktop: one brings you to the website and one opens a downloaded copy of the CD Cat. Just the PDF files though.
I have no idea what program was used in creating the origional catelog index, and I tried contacting the person who did it but he doesnt remember (this was several years ago and he left nothing for me to go on). I'm entirely new to Flash, only just learning, and so something like creating a download button is daunting to me. I dont even know where to begin! If anyone could spare some info or even where I could go to learn more about this, please let me know. Thank you!
This is basically an autorun CD with a flash projector on it. A Flash projector is a self contained flash executable.
Article on Autorun CD like that was made:
http://www.webwasp.co.uk/tutorials/a24-autorun-CD/index.php
You can make a regular windows autorun pretty easily but making a hybrid that runds on mac and windows is quite a bit tougher.
In order to copy over PDFs or do system type commands you will need to use 'fscommand' which can run executables and even windows batch files.
How to run executables is covered here:

The fscommand reference is covered here:

Hope this helps.
