Through an ever-so-graceful slip on the keyboard, I deleted the Downloads link in the 'My Computer' section in Nemo. No idea how to create a link there, though I'm able of course to create a Bookmark to it. But, moving between different computers I get a little aggravated having to remember where the Downloads link is. Anyone care to offer some ideas?
Thanks so much in advance!
Found it a few seconds after posting the question. After having created a Bookmark to the Downloads directory, in Nemo open the Bookmarks menu, select Edit Bookmarks (or Ctrl-B). I was able to drag the new Downloads link to the 'My Computer' section.
Apparently there are a few kinks in this process. Somehow my Videos link was in my Bookmarks section. When I tried to drag it above the divider in the Bookmarks editor, it still ended up in the top of the Bookmarks section. So I dragged it above the Pictures link, and the Pictures link became a second Videos link; I had to edit the duplicate to get my Pictures link back.

This post Drag file into Access, how to check the file details? says a BoundObjectFrame can be used as a target to drag and drop files from the Windows Explorer.
I've tried putting one on a form, but when I drag a file onto it, I get the circle-and-slash symbol that says I can't.
I've also tried various other control, including MS Forms textboxes, which are supposed to support drag-and-drop. But in every case I get the symbol.
Can anyone explain why?
This a first question for me. Hence I could not add a comment to the original.
I followed the solution and worked as expected.
However, when I tried to download 2 private videos that were part of the same post, only the 1st URL produced the correct video. The inspection of the 2nd URL, showed, as expected, that it is different from the 1st.
URL 1
URL 2
Although I do not think it makes a difference, I observed that the host name starting with "sc-content" or "video".
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
The answer to the original question described how you bring up the developer window, go to the network tab and observe the various URLs scrolling by as the video is playing. At some point you can copy one of the URLs from said window, strip out bytestart & byteend. This then constitutes the URL I mention.
I did find the answer to my own question after reading some the Graph API documentation on cookies. Thank you WhizKid!
If an FB post contains several videos, the steps below show how to download all videos using youtube-dl 2019.09.28:
press play on video #1
ctrl-right click and "Show Video URL"; select all & copy to text editor
go back to post
press play on video #2
ctrl-right click and "Show Video URL"; select all & copy to text editor
KEY: go back to post and reload page
within the terminal window, enter: "youtube-dl -u user -p pass URL#1" and/or URL#2
NB. Occasionally you may get "Something went wrong. We are having trouble playing this video". You can reload and carry on; it will eventually play and you can get the video URL as per above.
I tried to build an app based on the Document based app template. I am trying to get it to open markdown files. I got it to create the files and show up in the share sheet when viewing the file in the Files app. However in the Document Browser in the app (UIDocumentBrowserViewController) it is greyed out and cannot be selected. I can't really find what this is due. How do I fix this?
I tried it a second time, still did not work. A few days later however, the second one started working, the first one is still broken.
I want to add a pdf and word format of my resume to my portfolio page and make it downloadable. Does anyone have some simple script?
Add a link to the file and let the browser handle the download.
You may be over-complicating the problem. It's possible to use a href pointing to the location of the .pdf or .doc file, when a user clicks on this in their browser, generally they will be asked if they would like to save or open the file, depending on their OS/configuration.
If this is still confusing, leave a comment and I'll explain anything you don't get.
Create the PDF. Upload it. Add a link.
Save yourself 30 minutes tossing around with PDFGEN code.
You will want to issue or employ the Content-Disposition HTTP header to force the download otherwise some browsers may recognize the common file extensions and try to automatically open the file contents. It will feel more professional if the link actually downloads the file instead of launching an app - important for a resume I think.
Content-Disposition must be generated within the page from the server side as far as I know.
Option:
Upload your resume to Google Docs.
Add a link to the file on your portfolio page just as I do in the menu of my blog:
Use Google Docs Viewer passing to it the URL of the PDF as you can see in this link.
How do you get the graphic that is next to the address bar show up?
I have a very simple site, and I want to make a custom image, and have it show up when a user is on my site.

Place a 16x16 favicon.ico file in your websites root directory.
You can produce one in any number of graphic editing programs (including paint).

I found this on wikipedia, which seems to well describe what you are asking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
What your after is a favicon.ico file, check out the wikipedia article for more details.
There are also a number of online generators out there. See Google for more =)
favicon.ico files are also used by some browsers when a user bookmarks your site.
Make a square image and edit it the way that you want. Make sure that you don't add any small details. Next, go to http://www.favicon.cc.com/ . This site will convert your image to a supported .ico format. Rename the file favicon.ico and put it in the root directory of your site. You should have a favicon in your browser now.
This icon, is a favicon, and you have to upload a file to your site if you want it. But if you want to make your favicon work in all browsers properly, you will have to add more than 10 files in the correct sizes and formats.
My friend and I have created an App just for this! you can find it in faviconit.com
We did this, so people don´t have to create all these images and the correct tags by hand, create all of them used to annoy me a lot!
The file generated comes with a small explanation on what to do with the files. We will make it better, but it's a start.
Hope it helps!
