Run PPSX or PPT using Sencha touch - sencha-touch

I am trying to develop an application for iPad using Sencha touch which needs to run a local PPT or PPSX file on a button click and return to main application after finishing the presentation .I am not sure whether this is possible.Please share your thoughts..Thanks in advance...

If I understand your problem;
With sencha-touch, code runs on browser, so you could not access local files of users file system except he choose files with a file chooser(but in that case you must upload the file to server).
If you want to open a file without closing your app, you may open file in a new window.
I hope, this gives you some idea.

Photoshop - simple Open File action on MAC

Could anyone send the ATN file with only one action -> opening PSD file on Mac?
I've made an action with a lot of steps, it's working good but only on Windows. There is no relative paths in PS actions, and i have no friend that has Mac. Could anyone prepare ATN file (so i will be able to copy "open psd file" step)?
Regards,
Luke
Short answer: this won't work. Even though Photoshop has "shortcuts" paths that are similar for both OSX and Windown (like ~/Desktop is a shortcut for desktop folder no matter of OS and username), Actions don't seem to recognize them. Furthermore, if you record an Open Action on Windows or Mac and open it in a different OS, you'll get a File or folder not found message for this step:
Here're two examples. In bot cases the top Action was made in Windows and the bottom one on Mac. This is a Mac screenshot:
and Windows:
Notice how Action1 on the Mac screenshot has File or folder not found message and on Windows there's the same message for Action2 from fromMac set.
Here's what you can do though.
insert Open as a Menu Item. This way user will be asked for a file you need every time a user calls the Action.
give the file you need to open as a pattern file (.pat) and ask a user to install it. This way you can fill a document with it using the Fill command.
most powerful: use a script. You can convert your action to a script file using the xtools: there's a script within it called ActionToJavascript: this will give you a .jsx file that you can use in Photoshop and that will work exactly as your action. And in this script you can specify a path for your action. Like here I'm specifying a file on my Desktop:
And this script will work on Mac.

Chrome app file system in kiosk mode

i have an app (signage player) that loads video and placed it in folder which user pointed on the beginning (named 'media').
Then i define source attr of video element as "media/name_of_file.mp4"
In plain mode is works well - local video plays. But i and don't know why. In Kiosk mode app can't find a files at all.
Do you have any ideas about it?
What features has or hasn't file system in kiosk mode - it's really hard to debug it there.
Many thanks for any information about file system in kiosk mode.

According to this answer, app in kiosk mode hasn't any access to file system.(but from my experience it isn't quite true, i can wright files and folders, read them via file api)
Main problem that i can't reach them from dom src property.
But anyway google demand additional license for this option, so any
kludges can be blocked in further versions of chrome os...
Create a shortcut to your Chrome executable, right click it, select "Properties" and then make sure the target field looks like this (for example):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk "file:///C:/Users/JohnDoe/Desktop/MyHTMLFile.HTML"
The executable must be in double quotes, as well as the file path.
You may need to embed your MP4 inside an HTML5 element on a local HTML file for this to work.

Xcode "Building" a Project

Honestly, I don't fully understand my question, but hopefully I can still be fairly clear about it.
I just wrote a simple project in Objective-C/Xcode. It looks like Xcode generated an executable in a folder called "Debug" and when I double-click on it, it opens a terminal window and runs fine. However, while running, it reads from a text file in the same directory that it's in. So if I want move the executable to a different location, I also have to move the text file to the same location or it won't be able to find the text file.
My question is... when I download an application on my computer (like Google Chrome or Evernote), it comes as its own file and I can place it in any directory I like; there are no associated files I have to move whenever I move the "executable". Is there a way to generate a clean application like this using Xcode?

Content files showing up in install directory

So I currently have a script that works just fine with one problem. Whenever I publish it as a ClickOnce application, it has to be installed on the users computer before it can be used, and the the files I have specified to run if the user provides a valid login are showing up in the local APPDATA files.
I feel like there has to be a better way to publish my application. I want the 4 files ( a .swf that will run with flash, a bat file to run those, and a .vbs script that runs the bat file in the background so it doesn't pop up) to be included in the project, but to be written into the resulting binary files, not in their original form so the source is freely available.
Anyone have a suggestion?

autorun.inf file not working on pc

I created an autorun.inf file for my dvd so that it would display a splash page (just an image), then go directly to and open a pdf. As well as set the icon for the drive. However the icon didn't change, and neither the splash page or pdf opened or displayed upon inserting the disc.
My code in the autorun.info file is as follows
[AutoRun]
OPEN=winopen \start_here.pdf filename splash.jpg
ICON=icon.ico
The .inf file is sitting in the same folder as the start_here.pdf, the splash.jpg and the icon.ico.
Thoughts?
Open statement does not open the associated file, but only executable and html-files. To launch the associated files by their extensions, you must use "ShellExecute" statement.
The shellexecute command is more flexible than the open command and will allow you to open nearly any file on a PC in its native application, so can be used for PDFs, Word files, web pages and movies where the open command would not work.
[AutoRun]
shellexecute=myfile.pdf
