Editor

Questions:

• How can I see all files I have changed?
• How do I discard all files I have changed?
• Why doesn't the cut, copy and paste icons in the text editor work in Netscape, Mozilla or Firefox?
• Why does the editor bring up a dialog box asking to installing Microsoft Office?

How can I see all files I have changed?

Go to the file root ("/"), select Changes Only View and then click the Unfold Matches button.

How do I discard all files I have changed?

Start by listing all changed files (described in the question above). Next, select Discard changes from the Versions menu.

Why doesn't the cut, copy and paste icons in the text editor work in Netscape, Mozilla or Firefox?

These browsers disallow clipboard access from JavaScript code for security reasons. You can however enable this manually by following this procedure:

1. Quit your browser.

2. Create a plain text file called user.js with the following contents. (Watch out so it isn't named user.js.txt or similar if you have your computer set to not display file extensions.)

   user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://www.mydomain1.com http://www.mydomain2.com");

   Note!

   www.mydomain1.com etc should be replaced by the server name for your site. You can list multiple servers separated by space as shown in the example above.

3. Move the user.js file to the profile directory. The location of this directory is dependent on your operating system.

   For Windows it will be C:\Documents and Settings\Profiles\your login name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profile name\random string.slt\.

   On Mac OS X the location is /Users/your login name/Library/Mozilla/Profiles/profile name/random string.slt/.

   Finally, on Linux and other Unix versions it is ~/.mozilla/profile name/random string.slt/

4. Start your browser again.

Why does the editor bring up a dialog box asking to installing Microsoft Office?

To solve this, make sure the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Microsoft Office 2000 > Change > Add or Remove Features > Office Tools > HTML Source Editing setting is not Installed on First Use. Setting it to Not Available works fine.
