I'm using Meld 1.8.5.
http://meldmerge.org/
I use gedit to change a file without meld's knowledge. I like to re-do the comparison. What is the easiest way of doing the refresh. The refresh didn't do the re-comparison.

So for newer version of Meld, File/Revert does the requested refresh.
In Meld's View menu, you can try Refresh (Ctrl+R), but also Reload (Shift+Ctrl+R) to reload the files themselves. Depending on the changes, you may want to try the Reload option. Also, be sure to have gedit make a save to disk in order for Meld to see the change of file contents.

I was testing out some new swift code. I knew that if I made any mistake I could simply revert back to my old code by pressing Command+Z.
But I accidentally closed my Xcode Editor while writing new code.
How would I undo the new changes and go back to my old original code? I did not make use of github for this.
There might be a chance you can view the file's old history. Check out George Marmaridis' answer
Here is what he says:
You might not be out of luck. Although Git can't help you, Finder may be able to come to the rescue!
If you have not turned off the Versions feature (which by default is turned on and you need a Terminal command to disable), then do the following:
Quit Xcode.
Open the file you wish to bring back your lost changes to using TextEdit.
Go to File > Revert To > Browse All Versions...
Scroll through the available versions. Hopefully you will have many available to choose from.
Select a version and hit Restore.
Follow 2-5 for all necessary files.
Launch Xcode. You should now see the M next to these files in Project Navigator indicating they include uncommited changes (the changes you previously discarded).
While I was working in PhpStorm on a website computer restarted and an error appears. I using Windows 10. After restart CSS file was empty and I lost my work. The CSS file appears like it still have 9kb, but in PhpStorm it is empty.
I've tried to restore from PhpStorm, but the Local History is empty too.
Can I restore it? If I can, how can I do it?
Did you save the file prior to the crash? If not, take a look at PHPstorm's autosave functionality.
Also, and I don't mean to be condescending here: frequently saving your stuff and proper backups are important.
Okay ... This may be a ridiculous question. (I'm still getting used to Mac.) I really like the auto fill-in-ahead predictive typing feature of Xcode.
Can I use it to simply edit files laying around different locations on my hard drive? I do not really want to create a project or anything (unless by PROJECT I mean simply loads several files, that are not related to each other, but that I may want to jump back and forth in editing them - I do not want to create a project from files that need to be compiled or anything).
If so, what's the best way to get started? When you open XCode, it asked a lot of wizard questions to get things set up. How would I simply get started to edit 5 or so files at a time ... where I might want to switch back and forth between them - and they are not in the same directory?
All I want to do is simply make changes and save them, make more changes and save again, repeat. Kind of like holding a lot of shell scripts that communicate with each other.
Okay ... so I know this was a silly question - but Xcode is so intimidating for newbies. Sometimes, one needs a place to just get started and I haven't found that yet.
It is possible to open the Xcode text editor on a single file from the command line.
open -a Xcode.app filename.txt
If you're going to use this a lot, you might consider making an alias in your ~/.bashrc.
alias xc="open -a Xcode.app"
As of Xcode 6, you cannot open a directory this way, as it will give you an error message stating that directories must be opened as part of a project. If you provide more than one file on the command line, Xcode appears to create a temporary project containing the files you provided. You can add files and folders to the temporary project, but there doesn't seem to be a way to save the temp project for use later.
If you want to open a file in Xcode, you can also use xed.
As the man page says:
xed -- Xcode text editor invocation tool.
You can simply call xed [file] to launch Xcode editor.
Notepad++ is the way to go. Xcode was never meant to be used as a general text editor.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't know that there wasn't a Mac port for Notepad++. Use TextWrangler instead.
Is it possible to regenerate all pages within Interwoven TeamSite 6.7.2?
Simply selecting a folder and click on Actions -> regenerate page doesn't work. It gets the error message: "Not a generated file".
So is there a trick to regenerate through the folder hierarchy?
TeamSite will process whatever you passed as a parameter, be it file or folder. If it is not template-based, you will see that error. There is no way to recursively regenerate pages throughout a workarea natively.
I have written Perl scripts to traverse the filesystem, test each files extended attributes to see if it was template-based and regenerate the page if so. This is probably the easiest way to achieve mass regeneration.
If you must have this through the GUI, you can create a custom menu item that calls the above script.
Not sure when this question was posted - it says Jan 25 but does not reveal the year, but TeamSite 6.7 has been EOL (end of life) for a few years by the vendor HP Autonomy.
As of this writing the latest version of the software is TeamSite 7.3.2, with version 7.4 right around the corner. The reason I mention about versions is because, the paradigm to create and render pages has undergone a complete change.
Pages are no longer "generated" and deployed. SitePublisher - now part of TeamSite allows pages to be authored using WYSIWYG tools.
That said, the old paradigm of "generating" pages is still backward compatible, but if you are planning to upgrade you may get more value from the system by using SitePublisher and LiveSite.
run this command from the unix command line:
find /your/folder/startpoint -exec /path/to/iwregen {} \;
The error message: "Not a generated file" that you are getting is because you are trying to select a folder since the contents of folders can be different some can be your actual pages while some can be a .pdf file, .txt file or any other extension files.
Please try to regenerate pages using these steps:
Double click on the folder to open in which your actual pages resides
After this try to select all the pages (not manually but there is option/checkbox on the UI as "select all" or "select").
Now, after selecting all just scroll down and see all the selected things whether they are actual pages and not something else. If they are not the pages then deselect only that particular file.
Now, click on "Actions" and regenerate the pages all at once. This will definitely work.
Please vote this solution if it is useful else please add your further issues/questions will try to help you with the best of my knowledge.
Thanks!
I'm using sass for a project. I keep the CSS file open sometimes, but every time I save the .scss file VS asks me if I want to reload the CSS file, which I do. Is there any way of telling it to always reload the file type without prompting?
In Tools/Options, navigate to Documents and check "Auto-Load changes, if saved."
EDIT: note that this will affect all files; as far as I know it's not possible to enable this selectively. I'm sure an extension could change that!
