I'm trying to create a document-based application but the problem is that I don't know how to edit the Info.plist file in order to let the application open certain types of files. I've looked through the apple's "Document-Based Applications Overview" guide to help, but to no avail.
I want my application to open .txt files and .rtf files. My interface only has a simple text view.
Please help. Thanks
Edit:
Every time I compile my code, my app just loads, but it shows an alert panel saying "No Document could be created". And in the log it just says "The public.rtf type doesn't map to any NSDocumentClass."
As for my properties tab, I have "Text Document" for my CFBundleTypeName and "public.rtf" for my LSItemContentTypes.
simply click it in xcode.
you also have the option to show it in source code style (xml-like).
for that right.click in xcode the plist file -> "open as" -> "source code file" (or something like that".
The Document-Based Applications Overview has a section called Storing Document Types Information in the Application's Property List. In that section, they explain how to edit Info.plist so that it lists supported document types. Their example is TextEdit, which opens RTF and plain text files much like what you want.
To open the window depicted in Figure 1, double click your target in the project folder tree (under the Targets section) and select the Properties tab.
in info.plist
in CFBundleDocumentTypes Key add CFBundleTypeName and set its values as extension for example to add support for word file add DOC as its value
There is nice article about it

When I open a certain pdf file on SharePoint, I wish to see the Bookmarks Navigation tab open by default. I can do this manually by File > Properties > initial View and changing the Navigation tab to "Bookmarks Panel and Page".
I need to do this with hundreds of pdf files and then upload them to SharePoint.
I am using VBA. I don't mind using other forms of automation.
Currently, I have AVDoc (CAcroAVDoc) and can open the Bookmarks Pane but it's not changed in the settings.
AVDoc.SetViewMode 3
I tried PDDoc.SetInfo etc but nothings changing the "settings".
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
I am running a lot of code in Excel VBA, that does a lot of pdf manipulation. The only thing that remains is to change the settings.
With Acrobat as the runtime, there is no scriptable interface to the initial view settings. However, you can easily use any of several .NET PDF libraries to make this change. A Google search for ".NET PDF Library" will yield both free and commercial varieties. You'll need to research which one is best for your task and skill set.
I created a file named "auth_actions.dart" in a dart project(either angular or not). The file content would have text colour being plain white, without any highlighted.
If I rename it to "auth_action.dart" or "auth_actionss.dart", the highlight will come back.
I did some experiments even from some random projects downloaded from github, all of them had this issue.
Anyone know how to fix it? Does anyone see the same issue using the name "auth_actions.dart"?
I assume you accidentally added the file to
Preferences > Editor > File Types > Recognized File Types > Text
Remove it from Registered Patterns to get hightlighting again.
You could accidentally mark it as plain text (the option is in the right-click menu). In this case, the option to mark it back as a Dart file is also in the context menu.
I would like to know if there is any way to add a local file as resource using VB code. Its an image file . Normally I go to Project -> Project1 Properties -> Resources -> Add Resource -> Add Existing File -> and select my executable. I would like to do the above using Visual Basic code. Does anybody have any idea?
Last time I added a resource into my VB program I did the same as you have mentioned above, recently I went to do the same thing and found I had to search for the location and most replays to this question told you what to do but did not show the steps nor the screen which was kinda confusing. I hope the following helps.
Visual Studio 2017:
Right click in the solution explorer window on the VB project name name (Not where is says Solution 'Solution name' (1 project) the line just under that one. Select properties and you will see the project options screen open in front of you mine defaulted to the application tab shown on the left in the screen shot below.
Select the resources option on the left hand side of the screen, you now have options to add resource files to your executable, you can select the following types (Strings, images, icons, audio, files, other) . Note I read there is a size limit for individual files but it is possible to have multiple small files added.
Add your file. In the solution explorer a resources tab will now be visible with your file listed, in my example I added two sound files bite.wav and moan.wav (sorry not an image file). These sound files were compiled into my executable and I executed the sounds in the program with the following:
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Moan, AudioPlayMode.Background) 'Play audio file in background do not halt program
Your resource should now be able to be seen if you enter 'My.Resources.'
I'm just starting to look at IOS Apps' localization in XCode 5 and I've tried to add an Italian Localization:
Xcode 5 automatically generates the Main.strings file with a single entry, for the only label I've put within the Main.storyboard file:
/* Class = "IBUILabel"; text = "Label"; ObjectID = "PeT-4z-NSf"; */
"PeT-4z-NSf.text" = "Etichetta";
If I later modify the Main.storyboard file adding a new button to the view, then how should I tell Xcode 5, if possible, to add missing localization strings to the Main.strings file? Should I add a new entry by hand by looking at the Object ID field in Interface Builder (it works, but I don't know if this is how it is meant to update storyboards' localization)? Can I run something like genstrings on the Main.storyboard file to extract all the labels' text and add the new ones to the localized Main.strings files?
Check out ReMafoX, it's a Mac app that perfectly solves your problem. It can be easily installed and integrated within your project, watch this video for a detailed walkthrough.
Alternatively, if you prefer an open-source CLI tool without a GUI, you can also use BartyCrouch.
Install BartyCrouch via Homebrew:
brew install bartycrouch
Alternatively, install it via Mint:
mint install Flinesoft/BartyCrouch
Incrementally update your Storyboards/XIBs Strings files:
$ bartycrouch update
This will do exactly what you were looking for.
In order to keep your Storyboards/XIBs Strings files updated over time I highly recommend adding a build script (instructions on how to add a build script here):
if which bartycrouch > /dev/null; then
bartycrouch update -x
bartycrouch lint -x
else
echo "warning: BartyCrouch not installed, download it from https://github.com/Flinesoft/BartyCrouch"
fi
In addition to incrementally updating your Storyboards/XIBs Strings files this will also make sure your Localizable.strings files stay updated with newly added keys in code using NSLocalizedString and show warnings for duplicate keys or empty values.
Make sure to checkout BartyCrouch on GitHub for additional information.
The file that Xcode does not update automatically (at least 5.x version didn't) is the app's Localizable Strings. You can build a fresh file from Main.storyboard as follows:
In the project Navigator (the leftmost pane) click on the Main.storyboard file. In the Utilities pane (the rightmost pane) click on Show the File inspector icon. It is the leftmost icon in blue in the image below:
.
On the right pane that will appear, one of the sections will be Localization:
Uncheck the English (Localizable Strings) row and in the window that will pop-up check the Delete localized resource files from disk and click the Remove button (you do not have to check delete, in which case Xcode will ask for a permission to override it when you build it next).
Then check English (Localizable Strings) again to build it from scratch.
Using Xcode 6 the following worked for me:
I changed the localization for a language from "Localizable Strings" to "Interface Builder ..." like suggested at the SO question posted by h.orim. However the setting did not change, it still was set to "Localizable Strings". The next step now is to do that again, so Xcode will find the Storyboard it just created and show a prompt asking if it should be used or replaced. Now click on "Use file" instead of "Replace", otherwise the same will happen again.
Now you should have a localized Storyboard in the desired language. After you now switch back to "Localizable Strings" you will have a file containing all current strings used in the storyboard with your previous translations still in place.
Another way is to do it manually by selecting on the storyboard the field to translate. Go to the "Identity Inspector" and copy the Object ID (something like HP8-op-SmX).
After that, open the storyboard langage file (Main.strings, most cases) and past the Object ID. Depending your needs, you just have to add .text or .placeholder.
"HP8-op-SmX.placeholder" = "My translated placeholder text";
"HP9-op-VvD.text" = "My translated text";
Save, clean & build. It's a little bit painful but can save a lot of time if you only need to translate few things.
You can use a script called UpdatStoryboardStrings for this!Get it here: https://github.com/AppliedIS/iOSL10n

With Xcode 6+, ideally developers should not have to manually manage strings files. Use XLIFF export to automatically gather development language strings to send to translators, and then use XLIFF import to update the strings files with translations.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/LocalizingYourApp/LocalizingYourApp.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000171i-CH5-SW9
Another option is to use ibtool --export-strings-file directly.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/ibtool.1.html
There are two options:
Option 1
Xcode can "reload" the file by converting the file to either an [Interface Builder Cocoa Touch Storyboard] file type or a [Localizable Strings] file type.
Select your base storyboard file from the Project Navigator
Find the Localization section in the File Inspector
If your file is currently a [Localizable Strings], change it to [Interface Builder Cocoa Touch Storyboard] or vice-versa.
Xcode should have converted your storyboard to the current version, while preserving your old localization efforts. Here you can change the file back to the original file type if you would like.
Option 2
Use ibtool to extract the strings in your storyboard.
Open the Terminal application
Locate your Base.lproj directory
Use this line to extract the strings:
ibtool MainStoryboard.storyboard --generate-strings-file file_name.strings
After ibtool extracts the strings to file_name.strings, you can copy and paste it to your original .strings file
Tested with Xcode 11, you can simply deselect the language.
Do not delete the file on disk.
And then choose to use the existing file.
The old translations will be kept and the new keys will be added.
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.
