I want to share my Maya hotkeys for custom commands along team. Of course, I can use "hotkeySet" command with -export, -import. But in this case, it override all of them with the file. It means that
If I change "save file" to "Ctrl + Alt + S" (sure, it's so weird). I
don't want to make my team members to use that weird hotkey.
How can I get the list of my custom hotkeys? If I can know that, I can export and import them selectively.
If you want to share your Maya's custom hotkeys along your colleagues, you'll need to copy userHotkeys.mel (or userHotkeys_Maya_Default_Duplicate.mel) and userNamedCommands.mel files from your comp to the destination team's comp. One more file named userRunTimeCommands.mel is typically empty one.
These files are located in the following directories on different OS:
macOS – ~/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2016.5/prefs/hotkeys
Linux – ~<username>/maya/2016.5-x64/prefs
Windows – \Users\<username>\Documents\maya\2016.5-x64\en_US\prefs
If you open Maya's Script Editor and check Echo all Commands option
on and then save a custom shortcut in Hotkey Editor, you'll notice that Maya saves/updates these three files when you create or edit your hotkey.
For instance, I've created hotkey Alt G for toggling a grid in Viewport.
hotkey -keyShortcut "g" -alt -name ("ToggleGridNameCommand");
This is what I can see in Script Editor:
After that you can share saved userHotkeys.mel and userNamedCommands.mel files along your team. Also you can edit these ASCII files in any Text Editor.

how can I remove, for example "created on", text in article?
I just want to remove the text not date itself. I've removed the icon with css but text and date in this case are written together in time tag.
Thanks
In the article manager, if you click "options", you can set what you want to turn off. In this case, "Show Create Date" is an option.
If you are creating pages by assigning them to menu items, then you may need to look under the "options" setting of the menu item itself.
Edit: Following your comments - to just remove such text, download the file: language/en-GB/en-GB.com_content.ini (change en-GB if using language overrides)
This will show you a list of text strings used by that component.
You can then use the language manager ( extensions - language manager ) to override these.
(You could also search for text using the language manager, but I find the downloading the language file quicker)
I need to prevent a certain file type from appearing in my Aptana Studio's app explorer. Is there a way to do this?
You have two options:
You can apply the filter to a folder from App Explorer, but that will only apply the filter to that folder, and you probably want to apply the filter to the whole project;
Apply the filter to the project root from Project Explorer which will affect the entire project;
Here's how to apply a filter to either of the above options:
right-click the folder/project you want to apply the filter to
select Properties
in the Resource Filters section click the Add button
in the window that pops up choose Exclude All in the Filter Type section
choose one the options from the Applies To section (probably Files)
tick the All children (recursive) option if you want to apply the filter to all children of the chosen folder/project
in the File and Folder attributes section choose the options that you want (probably Name and matches
In the input field of the File and Folder attributes section type the filter that you want
Example filters:
*~ - hides all files ending with a ~
*.json - hides all json files
Note: These instructions are valid for the current version of Aptana 3.4
Is there any way of organizing a icon collection so that it easier to find needed icons?
For example:
the program needs a save icon
there are 5 icons collections on your HD that have a save icon and there are 5 more collections that don't have a save icon (but you don't know that)
do you browse through each icon collection?
run a search (assumes files are named consistently)?
Would it be ideal to have some sort of organized directory (printable?)?
UPDATE
My process so far:
Use XXCopy to merge all icon folders into one folder.
Syntax = xxcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\jm\My Documents\Icons" "C:\Documents and Settings\jm\My Documents\All_Icons" /s /sr
Use Contact Sheets to add all files from the super folder and then export out contact sheets for all the images. This should sort them alphabetically.
Print and put in a binder -> now to find the actual file all you need to do is browse the binder, find the filename, and then search via Windows for the actual folder location.
In Visual Studio, there is a ZIP file with icons organized in folders. The organization is mostly by filetype and image size, is pretty messy, and contains many duplicates, so you should probably not follow their example.
However, they provide a HTML file in each folder that shows the icons in that folder in a nice readable list (better than Explorer's standard preview). You could do something similar, but maybe provide a table instead, for example with one column per collection, and one row per "concept" (e.g. save icon).
I have set .jpg file associated to my own program. I want to add the context menu to .jpg files, so I set the entry of HKCR.jpg\shell\open\command to "myProg.exe %1". After associating, there will be an item on the top of the context menu saying "Open image with myprog". This works right when I select a single .jpg file, but when I selected more than one file and click the top item of the context menu, nothing happended. How can I solve the problem?
Thank you very much
Each selected file will be sent to a new instance of your application. Your application should check if a previous version exists, or not. If a previous instance exists, it should sent its parameters to it (e.g. using Windows Messages) and then terminate.
Another approach is to use DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange), an old method used by Shell to send all files to one instance of your program.
You might need double quotes around the "%1".
Read this article for much more detailed information about how all this works.

How to put a File path control in VBA front panel? I want the user to be able to select the browse button and select the file path rather than putting up dialog boxes all over the place. I need the user to select three or more file paths.
After re-re-reading your Q, it seams you want to steer away from dialog boxes!Oh well, I was going to say
I could post the hack about using MSDIAG on VBA, that explains
how you can patch your registry to
enable its use under VBA,
without having other MS-VB products
installed... but I rather have you
google that one... you can certainly
understand why.
But you don't want Dialog Boxes... you want controls and buttons: Use listboxes!
To populate your listbox, use the Dir command (using method additem of the listbox).
Two phases for achieving that:
first get the Directories (and prefix a "->" or whatever prior to adding it on the listbox, so that the user understands this is not a file);
then get filenames (you can filter by extension with the arguments of Dir, just as you would in DOS).
Finally, under OnClick and OnDoubleClick of the listbox, you must interpret the listbox default property (Item), check for "->" and use ChDir to change directory and repopulate, or you'll have your file selected.
The write up is sooooooo much more complicated than the code... trust me.
Do you mean VBA for Microsoft Office or just general VBA?
In Office, Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).
Otherwise, look at the Win32 API function SHBrowseForFolder (in shell32.dll). You can import it for use into VBA using the Declare Function keywords.
There is not direct VBA function for that. You can decide to combine a form (Access form, or a generic microsoft form) with 2 controls: (1) text box (2) browse button (which will finally use the fileDialog command or a windows API).
Perhaps the browse for folder API from the Microsoft MVPs site would suit:
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0002.htm
It uses SHBrowseForFolder mentioned by fwzgekg, and does not return a file dialog, it returns a browsable list of folders.
Is this what you want?
FilePath = Application.GetOpenFilename
