Delete a Closed Track in Google Play Console - google-play

In the App Releases page of the Google Play Console, how do you delete a closed track?
There is a Manage button for the track but no obvious way of deleting it from the page which appears.
I have accidentally created a track I don't need and it is confusing/annoying to have it there. Hopefully I'm missing something rather than this functionality just not having been implemented!

It isn't exactly possible right now.
However, you can:
click on the 'Manage' button
expand the 'Managed testers' card
click on the 'Deactivate track' button.
The track will go in a 'Deactivated tracks' list in the 'App Releases' page."
It's not totally deleted, but that might be enough for you. I've sent the feedback to the right team that this wasn't completely discoverable, and that complete deletion for unused tracks would be useful.
You also can't delete the default "Alpha" or "Beta" tracks right now, only ones you have created yourself.

I can't find Deactivate track as on other answers - I think it has been changed by Google.
However, I can find option to Pause track, maybe it'll good for others.
This can be found when you click on Manage Track:
And after clicking on it:

Deactivate track is available for any custom track created by user. Remove testers is applicable for any play console provided track.

For me the answer is in the negative. For a closed user-created track there is no deactivate track option. The above answers relate to an old version of the UI. This post gives the current situation. In a nutshell you have to release a higher version and this somehow makes the old track go away.

If a new track is created in Closed testing, then it remains there forever. There's no way to delete the track.
If the track appears in the Releases overview, it can be discarded so that it doesn't pollute the list. To discard/remove the track from the list containing Latest releases, click on the arrow beside the item and select Discard release.

How to make Solution Explorer return to its previous state after clearing search?

I currently have a VS installation with no extensions to see how that works out. For navigation that means making heavy use of Ctrl+; aka Search Solution Explorer. While the search itself is ok, it has one major drawback for me that makes it a pain to use for me (both with keyboard and mouse):
Solution with two projects, one collapsed, one opened:
Use Ctrl+; and start typing until match found from collapsed project
What I want now is to simply clear the search and return to the previous view. Seems like a pretty standard requirement, no? But there seems to be no such functionality built in. Problem with the current commands that come close (pressing Esc, clicking Back or Home buttons in Solution Explorer Toolbar) is all the same: they have the extremely annoying behaviour that they insist on suddenly uncollapsing the previously collapsed project and track the match found! (Btw the Track Active Item in Solution Explorer option is turned of in the options). This makes no sense from a UX point of view? You select some kind of 'undo' command, the search box clears which is expected, but then suddenly there's an item visible from a previous search:
So if the collapsed project has like 50 items in it, solution explorer is now useless visually since it litters the screen with stuff you don't want to see, and worse you have to manually collapse the project again to return to the previous view.
Is there a way around this? I thought maybe keyboard shortcuts for Back/Home would be different, but the commands do not seem to be registered. I looked into EnvDTE80.DTE2.ToolWindows.SolutionExplorer but it has no properties/methods that have anything to do with this issue. And somewhere in the tree there is a Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI.SolutionPivotNavigator which is probably the class responsible for this behaviour, but I have no idea how to access it?
Recently updated to VS2013 SP3 and I have the impression there was a change (or I didn't notice this properly earlier, though my question says otherwise): if I use the Back button in the Solution Explorer view it properly takes me back to the previous view without expanding anything that wasn't expanded before. Using Esc or clearing the search box still behave the same which is a pitty, but at least if I remember to use just the back button it's workable.
update Not really an answer but since I started using Edit.NavigateTo (which is basically 'Go to Anything' including symbols/files) bound to a keyboard shortcut I found no reason to use Window.SolutionExplorerSearch anymore.

TFS: Pending Changes - Work Items screen closing code reviews prematurely

I have an odd TFS issue that no one else on my team seems to be experiencing. As far as I know I'm the only one on my team who likes using the Pending Changes windows so I'm assuming the issue is there.
After I have a code review approved I will navigate to the Work Items tab of the pending changes window. I will check the "Check-in Action" box and select "Associate". Immediately the code review goes to a closed state with a note in the history of the review saying I closed the review on behalf of the reviewer. I then cannot check-in my code since the review is now in a closed state. I get Check-In Validation, Unsupported check-in action for work item ####. If I refresh the view, the review I tried to associate with is now gone.
The only way for me to check-in is to re-open the review, assign it to myself, then set it to resolved state. It retains the association from before and now that the review is in the proper state I can finally check my code in. As you can imagine this routine is getting old. Any ideas?
Edit: VS2010 by the way
Think I got it figured out. You can select what query the Pending Change screen uses. My query was looking for code reviews not in closed state. Once the code review is associated it gets closed and drops out of the query results. The pending changes window won’t let you check-in if nothing is checked in the work-items screen even though the code review was associated.
I made a new query for the window to use that looks for code reviews I created that have been resolved in the past 7 days. I wish I could see just my open code reviews, but this seems to be the best solution given the restrictions of the screen.

VB6 - View Code will not display code

This is probably a really dumb question but i'll ask anyway.
I was wondering if there was any reason as to why a form wouldn't display its code when i click "view code" from the right click context menu in vb6?
It was working awhile ago so i'm kind of stumped.
Thanks
If forms are still not visible, try Window -> Cascade - This was the way I goit my forms visible again.
Maybe it is being displayed under something else. Check under the Window menu. Do you see it there?
Does the form display if you right click and select 'View Object'? If so, try double clicking on the form - that should display the source. You might also check the permissions to the file.
This is an old question, but since it's the first link retuned by a Google search, answering here may help many people.
Like someone else said, Window/Cascade does the trick, but with time it becomes annoying.
I have the same problem on my laptop with an external display. Closing the laptop cover (thus going back to only one display) fixes the issue.
An alternate way is to display the VB6 IDE on the main display (your main display is the one with icons on the bottom right corner). You can set your main display under System Preferences/Displays. There's a checkbox called "make this one the main display", it does not need to be your monitor #1.
Problem does not seem to occur if you have 2 displays side-by-side. Also, the fact that my laptop's resolution is not the same as the external display's resolution may cause the issue.
After taking these steps, you may have to restart the VB6 IDE to fix the issue.

Silly Visual Studio Pending Changes Question

I recently switched from a Java based project to a C#/.net project. I previously used IntelliJ which had the concept of change lists where you could group your pending changes together and check each group in individually.
I have two problems with the pending changes window in visual studio.
1) Every time I check anything in, visual studio checks the checkbox beside Every pending change in the list forcing me to uncheck each and every one of them so I don't accidentally check something in. This is extremely frustrating because there are several files that I need to keep changed to correctly run my code locally. Is there any way to change this default behavior to not check any pending changes on check-in?
2) Is there any way to group changes into lists as opposed one big bucket of changes? Again this becomes frustrating when I need to check something in, but I have to search through the files and check the pertinent changes. I understand that shelve sets exist using TFS, but that doesn't cut it for me, especially since I have several changed files that I need to keep altered in order to correctly deploy locally, and I rarely ever want to check in.
Thanks in advance!
I have to manage lots of changes every day in Visual Studio, and I've got a few tips for you, but no silver bullet:
Use Ctrl+A to select all items and then press a checkbox to toggle the checkboxes for all items. This can be useful when performing changes to only a few items -- just uncheck everything, then make sure you have only the items checked that you'd like to update.
Use Ctrl+Click (then right-click) to 'Undo' selected changes. By default, the undo action will only apply to the selected items.
You might want to experiment with using multiple Workspaces -- and then filtering changes by workspace or by solution.
No, I don't know of a way to fix your problems. It sounds like the best answer would be to refactor your configuration settings or code so that you can check in all of your changes.
If your changes are in different projects you can partition what you check in using the Source Control Explorer by right clicking on the project folder and checking in that way. It will auto check only the files in the folder you right click on. Just keep in mind the Source Control Explorer gives you some other options. Otherwise, I do not know of a way to manually control your change sets file-by-file thought if this exists I would like to know about it too.
You can also use Ctrl+A to select all items and then press Spacebar to toggle the checkedboxes as checked/unchecked.

How can you go forward/backward at the file level with Xcode 3.2?

Xcode 3.2 has implemented cursor-level history for the "Go Forward", "Go Backward" commands. Previously these worked at the file level, so you could navigate back and forth through recent files you've been editing. Now they navigate at a more fine-grained level, through the places within files where you have been editing.
The downside to this is if you navigate backwards through the files and make a minor edit, all of your forward history is wiped out, whereas in the past it used to be easy to return to the file you were working on. It also means issuing a lot more commands if you just want to move through files, since you have to skip through all the edit points within each file.
I can't find anything in the release notes or documentation about this new behavior, so does anyone know if it's possible to get the old 'go back/forward by file' commands in 3.2? If not, does anyone have any tips on other ways of easily navigating recent files in Xcode?
Hold down the option key while you click the forward/backward arrows at the top of the code view, this will use the Xcode 3.0 behavior and go back a file at a time.
I had the same question as well and and Rob's answer on holding Option while clicking the forward/backward arrows works well.
I needed a keyboard shortcut though and I've found that Shift-Option-Cmd-left/right works.
From the comments on this blog entry:
Hold down the Option key to get the old file-based Go Forward/Go Back behavior. We rarely change established behavior like this when adding new options, but in this case, the majority of users considered file-level navigation Broken and location-based navigation Correct, based on their experience in browsers and other IDEs. We chose to give what more people considered the “obvious” behavior the pride of place on the keyboard shortcut, but the old way is still there.
-- Chris Espinosa
But like you guys have said, after every keyboard edit, the forward file history is lost. This is incredibly frustrating to me, as this is a feature I have heavily relied on for years, which is now broken. Is there still no fix?
There are Next File and Previous File commands, however their history is also wiped out after an edit. That seems like a bug to me.
This is plain stupid! What's the reason for suddenly change this ? Shift-Option-Cmd-left/right... great, more stupid shortcuts from Apple. I guess I soon have to use Shift-Option-Cmd-Left-Alt-Enter-N for something I use all the time. Can't they just implement a recent file list on ctrl-tab or something, like the Cmd-tab and the app switcher. Why would I want to grab for the mouse when I'm coding ? Still I have to use it lots in Xcode.
Sorry for my rant :)
