The lower window's Uncut and Frame/Sash Cut Fill all have a display priority over the upper window but for some reason the Plan Symbol Fill doesn't. This means that I'm is stuck with an unwanted overhead line. I can't figure out if I'm missing some setting or if this is a limitation.

Given how the floor plan view generally works this would intuitively be achieved by setting the elements fill pen to opaque and then adjust the display order. The problem is that there's no way to control the display order for windows and doors so we are stuck with the base value. And it seems to be such that the lower window's frame, sash and uncut fill has higher priority than the upper window. However, the lower window's plan symbol fill which is the opening area has a lower priority than the upper window.

But if your frame sizes and reveal offsets for both windows match, then the lines should overlap exactly and you shouldn't notice the doubling of lines as it will be one frame exactly on top of the other.

It's not desired as the objective is to show the upper window only for the wall segment that only has the upper window. The reason is to, in plan, indicate that the wall segment is not without windows. For the wall segment with the lower window (sliding door) this is irrelevant.

Usually I need much pages to be open at one time.So there is a Windows task panel.When I open multiple Google Chrome windows by Ctrl+N they appear in some order at the Windows task panel. Also in each windows I can create multiple tabs with pages (Ctrl+T).

I would like to create certain order of Google chrome Windows in the task panel. Say first is window with multiple tabs of my email accounts (gmail, yahoo mail etc). Second is window with tabs of google drive pages (different spreadsheets and docs files pages).

Could you please help with following:1. Why order changes?2. How can I change the order without closing and reopening all the windows?3. If I create set of startup pages in the Google Chrome settings all of them open in the separate tabs but within one window. May I create a setting to open them in certain order of windows on each startup of Google Chrome?

For 2. Drag a tab out of the window. This will make this new tab the last window opened. Then shift click the left most and right most tab, and drag them into the new window. This will keep open all the tabs while moving the window to the last one.

8 years later, and the order of Google Chrome windows still changes by itself sometimes... On Windows 10, I usually only need to bring the window I am currently using to the right of the group in the taskbar, and the easiest way I found is the following:

I tried EVERYTHING and it did not work for me. no matter how many times I applied my changes to sort certain subfolders by date modified and in large icons view in folder options>view tab, they still get sorted by Name.

finally I used this github link which is a program called WinSetView. you should first download the zip file, download anywhere you like and then run .exe file. the interface of this program is not very good. first I should mention that there are 5 main categories of "folders" on windows: general items, videos, music, documents, and pictures. windows tries to categorize each folder automatically (by default they are categorized as general items until you view their content once. you can see it in folder's properties>customize tab). WinSetView also tries to categorize the sort and view properties based on these categories in more detail. in this way, whatever you change in "Global" section will be applied to all folders and subfolders of your PC in all drives for the those folder types (pictures, music. etc) that you checked in below. you do not have to worry about messing your computer though because if you check "restore to windows default views" and Submit, all changes will be back to windows default.

at first I simply checked radio button to sort by "Date modified" in WinSetView>>Columns section, but even after submitting it, many subfolders that I wanted did not sort by that. then I also clicked on Global button in the Columns section where it shows order of priority among sorting types. I put Date modified as the first above Name, it gave me a warning that this option might cause some errors for some old softwares which use Name as their default sorting type, I ignored this warning, checked again if Date modified is on top in Columns>>Global. then came back, left only Videos and Picture folders checked because I do not need other other folders to be sorted by Date modified in my case, and finally pressed Submit. Now, all of my pictures and video folders on PC are sorted by Date modified, however view of all folders whether they are picture and videos or not are also mistakenly changed into large icons similar to Picture and Videos, while I prefer them details as in windows default. to solve this, just to go any directory that is not pictures or videos type (like C:), then choose another view mode like: "Details" for example, and like the old method apply it to all similar folder types in: folder options >> view tab. now if a folder on your computer is customized as pictures or videos will be sorted and viewed to the way you'd like.

you can also go into a folder that is not a Picture of Video and select folder type manually in properties>>> customize tab, and their view and sorting option will become updated. I hope this would be of your help.

What is the proper way (using grub2) to change the boot order in the boot menu?
I currently have Fedora 37 installed in a dual boot configuration with Windows 11.
Fedora is the default option, and I want to have Windows 11 as the default option.
Thank you!

The other entries (I expect including Windows 11) are in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg as menuentry items (each multi-line in what should be obvious overall syntax). You can change the order of those menuentry items relative to each other and relative to the whole group of automatic items, by changing the relative order within /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Most documented changes that go into those are documented as changes to other files which end up modifying the way the above file and directory are automatically modified. Doing things indirectly is harder to figure out, but better documented and stable across things like kernel updates. But, so far as I know, there is no such indirect method of getting the change you want.

I just tested it on my dual boot desktop and it always boots to the last OS/kernel selected from the grub menu (windows included) until the user selects a different one to boot. It works perfectly to remember and always boot the same kernel/OS even after a kernel upgrade has been done. The only exception I have seen is that if one has selected the newest kernel in the grub menu, then a kernel update will still give you the newest kernel to boot (the one just installed as first in the menu)

It seems that the most recently used window always appears on top. In other words, the "Apply Digital Signatures" was the window I had open last. If I were to switch to the window showing the new tab, then the order in which the windows are displayed in the task bar suddenly changes.

The dock in Ubuntu 18.04 is a modified version of the original Dash to Dock gnome shell extension. The order of window previews is hard coded and was recently changed from recently used to when opened in response to this issue.

So no, you can't rearrange the window previews. I don't know when the changed behaviour will be merged into the Ubuntu version, but since it hasn't been included in 18.10, it may take some time, if it will happen at all.

Alternatively, as a user on the github page explained, you can supposedly replace the file /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/windowPreview.js with this version to make the window previews appear in the order the windows were opened.

I made all control's TabStop property "False" on the form except these textboxes. And I arranged their TabOrder via Properties Section as follows 0,1,2.. as I intented. But the order followed as I wrote above. Then I opened Tab Order function via "View" on menu strip.. I clicked all controls which I wanted to use in order, but no use. The form and Tab button act as before. I caught Tab Order function image below:

TabIndex is important for controls which are siblings of the same parent. However, if your TextBox and ComboBox controls are each inside different parents then their parent controls must have the proper TabIndex.

Now that we have VS 2019. Simply go to form.cs[design], click "View" tab at the top of the page and select "Tab Order". This will allow you to click on the form elements in order of which you want them to be tabbed to. Any items not selected will not be tabbable(I think I made this word up). Once complete, click "Tab Order" again to exit view.
