- 1 - 6. _D_o_c_u_m_e_n_t_a_t_i_o_n__E_r_r_o_r_s 6.1 _E_r_r_a_t_a__t_o__T_E_D__U_s_e_r_'_s__G_u_i_d_e 6.1.1 _P_r_i_n_t_i_n_g +o When you want to print a file, if you mistakenly enter the name of a printer that does not exist, the default printer is selected instead. +o When cancelling a print job after finding it in the Print Manager, a confirmation dialog box appears after you click Cancel Print Jobs. 6.1.2 _M_a_i_l_e_r The Mail Options Message View category has an option that lets you specify the Character Width. This option affects the character width for the Compose and Edit windows only, not the Message View window, which has a default character width of 80 characters. 6.1.3 _W_i_n_d_o_w__M_a_n_a_g_e_r +o The ddddtttttttteeeerrrrmmmm Window Size option on the Option menu is unrelated to the 132 Column Switching option on the Terminal Options Panel. You can always change your window size when using ddddtttttttteeeerrrrmmmm, even if the 132 Column Switching option is disabled. The 132 Column Switching option is related to applications you run from ddddtttttttteeeerrrrmmmm. If the 132 Column Switching option is enabled and you run an application from within ddddtttttttteeeerrrrmmmm that requires 132 columns, the ddddtttttttteeeerrrrmmmm window will automatically resize. If the option is disabled, ddddtttttttteeeerrrrmmmm will not automatically resize. +o A new feature has been added that reserves the location of minimized applications. For example, if you minimize a client for the first time, the position of its icon will remain in the same location, even if you open and minimize other clients. 6.1.4 _C_a_l_e_n_d_a_r__M_a_n_a_g_e_r If you want to set up an appointment in the Calendar Manager, and use the Mail To option to notify others of the appointment, you are limited - 2 - to 9 mail addresses in the Mail To field. 6.2 _E_r_r_a_t_a__t_o__T_E_D__E_n_h_a_n_c_e_m_e_n_t_s The TED Enhancements book makes reference to TriTeal and TED 4.4. Any references to TED should be read as CDE, and Triteal as SGI. This book mentions some TED components which are not available with SGI CDE: TEDSECURE, WINTED, NTED, TEDFS, TEDeXtend, TEDVISION, LocalTED. The part number on the front page should read 860-0204-001. Specific errata follow. 6.2.1 _R_e_s_o_u_r_c_e_s +o The following resource has been added to the ....mmmmaaaaiiiillllrrrrcccc file: sssseeeetttt rrrrffffssssiiiioooottttiiiimmmmeeeeoooouuuutttt====66660000 This resource can be used to set timeout processing to check for NFS hangs. The timeout value is in seconds. If a timeout is detected, you will be notified of a potential problem, but the NFS operation will not hang. If the timeout is enabled, make sure the timeout value is set to a number of seconds that is larger than the worst case read/write/open time (that is, consider large mailboxes on a congested network), or you may see the warning dialog even when there is no problem. +o Page 15 and page 71 of the TED Enhancements manual have incorrect information. The ....XXXXddddeeeeffffaaaauuuullllttttssss file containing resources should go in $$$$HHHHOOOOMMMMEEEE, not the $$$$HHHHOOOOMMMMEEEE////....ddddtttt directory. +o The following resource has been added to the ....mmmmaaaaiiiillllrrrrcccc file: sssseeeetttt ccccrrrreeeeaaaatttteeeemmmmooooddddeeee====0000666666664444 Prior to the addition of this resource, ddddttttmmmmaaaaiiiillll used hard-coded defaults to determine the permissions for saving mail messages and attachments. This new resource lets you set the permissions yourself. For example, if - 3 - you put the line sssseeeetttt ccccrrrreeeeaaaatttteeeemmmmooooddddeeee====666666666666 in the ....mmmmaaaaiiiillllrrrrcccc ffffiiiilllleeee, then mail messages and attachments will get saved with read/write access for owner, group and other. Using this resource, you can specify additional permissions, but you can not restrict the permissions to make them less than the hard-coded defaults. 6.3 _E_r_r_a_t_a _t_o _A_d_v_a_n_c_e_d _U_s_e_r'_s _a_n_d _S_y_s_t_e_m _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e +o If you want to change the message text displayed by ddddtttthhhheeeelllllllloooo, you can create an executable sh or ksh script in ////eeeettttcccc////ddddtttt////ccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg////XXXXsssseeeessssssssiiiioooonnnn....dddd. Any files you create in this directory must be executable, or they will not be read, and the changes you made will not take effect. +o If you want to use Create Action to work with icons that reside in $$$$HHHHOOOOMMMMEEEE////....ddddtttt////iiiiccccoooonnnnssss, you must be sure to have icons of tiny, medium, and large sizes, with the extensions filename. tttt....ppppmmmm, filename. mmmm....ppppmmmm, and filename. llll....ppppmmmm. If the icons do not have the correct size and extensions, they will not be visible in Create Action. +o Page 27 of the Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide does not mention that the files in the ////eeeettttcccc////ddddtttt////ccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg////XXXXsssseeeessssssssiiiioooonnnn....dddd directory must be executable. +o The Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide states that changes to resources in $$$$HHHHOOOOMMMMEEEE////....XXXXddddeeeeffffaaaauuuullllttttssss can be activated by running the Reload Resources action. This may not work if the resource is also set in the RRRREEEESSSSOOOOUUUURRRRCCCCEEEE____MMMMAAAANNNNAAAAGGGGEEEERRRR property with xxxxrrrrddddbbbb, which takes precedence. The preferred method for changing resources is to use the xxxxrrrrddddbbbb program. Those resource changes are automatically saved in $$$$HHHHOOOOMMMMEEEE////....ddddtttt////sssseeeessssssssiiiioooonnnnssss////hhhhoooommmmeeee////ddddtttt....rrrreeeessssoooouuuurrrrcccceeeessss when you log out. +o The instructions for changing the default terminal emulator on page 49 of The Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide are incorrect. Instead, you should copy the ddddttttwwwwmmmm....ffffpppp file into your personal types directory ($$$$HHHHOOOOMMMMEEEE////....ddddtttt////ttttyyyyppppeeeessss), and modify the Term control's PPPPUUUUSSSSHHHH____AAAACCCCTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN field to be the new action you create. After making the changes, you must Reload Actions and Restart your Workspace for the changes to - 4 - take effect. 6.4 _F_e_a_t_u_r_e_s__S_p_e_c_i_f_i_c__t_o__S_G_I__C_D_E__5_._3 The following section documents functionality which is specific to SGI CDE, but not included in the CDE books. 6.4.1 _T_h_e__C_D_E__A_p_p_l_i_c_a_t_i_o_n__M_a_n_a_g_e_r__f_o_r__I_R_I_X The Application Manager contains the following folders with SGI-specific content: 6.4.1.1 _I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n__F_o_l_d_e_r The Information folder contains the IRIS InSight Online Documentation (Book) Viewer for the IRIX platform. The Information folder contains icons for: +o Insight +o README +o Release Notes +o SGI URL link The InSight Viewer is an online information retrieval system. The viewer provides an easy-to-use interface that allows users to search and browse through online information that is distributed from Silicon Graphics. Note this does not contain the CDE books. 6.4.1.2 _M_a_g_i_c__F_o_l_d_e_r The Application Manager contains the Magic folder. After you open the Magic folder, you can see all the tools available for the IRIX platform. The tools included are: +o Audio Panel +o Capture +o CDman - 5 - +o Comp View +o DATman +o IconBook +o Image Copy +o Image Info +o Image View +o Image Works +o Movie Convert +o Movie Maker +o Movie Player +o Sound Editor +o Sound Filer +o Sound Player +o Toolchest +o Video Panel 6.4.1.3 _S_y_s_t_e_m___A_d_m_i_n__F_o_l_d_e_r The System_Admin folder contains numerous icons that invoke IRIX administrative functions. These include the following: +o Disk Manager +o NFS Mount Manager +o Printer Manager +o Software Manager +o System Log +o System Manager +o User Manager - 6 - 6.4.2 _C_h_a_n_g_i_n_g _L_o_g_i_n _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n _b_e_t_w_e_e_n _T_E_D _a_n_d _S_G_I _M_a_g_i_c If you change your configuration as described below, you will not be able to log out using the root menu. You will have to exit by logging out of the xterm with the name login. 6.4.2.1 _T_o _c_h_a_n_g_e _y_o_u_r _c_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n _t_o _l_o_g _i_n _t_o _e_i_t_h_e_r _T_E_D _o_r _M_a_g_i_c 1.
