How to display an icon for broken images in Firefox

admin — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 20:00:22 +0000

The first part is make sure your browser.display.show_image_placeholders variable is set to true in your config file. To do this type about:config in the address bar of the browser, hit enter, and then do a search for this variable. A double click will change the value of the variable.

If you still can’t see the icon despite the fact that browser.display.show_image_placeholders is set to true then you need to follow this steps:

Go to the Firefox profile folder.
Go into the user folder found there.
Go into the chrome. folder
Duplicate the file userContent-example.css and save it as userContent.css

Open a text editor and paste the following code:

/*
 * Show image placeholders
 */
@-moz-document url-prefix(http), url-prefix(file) {
  img:-moz-broken{
    -moz-force-broken-image-icon:1;
    width:24px;
    height:24px;
  }
}

Save the file and restart Firefox

On Mac Os X the path to the css file would look something like this:
/Users//Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/ /chrome/userContent-example.css

I hope this had solved your problem.

How to add multiple files to SVN

admin — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 17:00:33 +0000

We all know that when you want to add multiple files to the SVN repository you need to specified each one of those files, something like this:

svn add file1 file2 dir3/file3

But what happen when what you need is to add all those files that are not under revision yet?

Well, in that case we have this solutions:

svn add $( svn st | grep "^?" | awk '{print $2}' )

I hope this make a little bit easier your working days.

Update: I have found this other option that is shorter and easier to remember.

svn add * --force
