Suggested edit: It isn't really necessary to make a mention of the censored part at all. It's not useful information for the question, and it's quite obvious from looking at the image. (more) |

I can't imagine a result this bad really was intended by the application developers. Consider reporting it to them (I don't know where), and you might see it fixed in a future update. (more) |

Can't answer the question, but from reading about animated PNGs [on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG), the frame time duration is stored in the _frame control chunk_, _fcTL_. Perhaps you can first generate the image and then change the duration of each of the chunks? (more) |

There are multiple issues with this post.
First, let's not start the question with a header pointing to SE. We want a good quality question, not to be a dumping ground for questions closed on SE.
When you've substantially rewritten your question to better quality, you really don't need to sta... (more) |

You know, I don't often ask the authors of potential spam if their post is spam, but what is going on here? Why is this link in the question, and why have you repeated it 4 times? Without a cleanup, this post is _going to be flagged as spam_. (more) |

How do I turn one layer into the mask for another layer, and back to normal again? If I have two layers, how do I convert one of them back and forth between a normal layer and as a layer mask for the other layer? (more) |

| Answer | — |
A: Stack contents of layer or selection Use `Filters/Map/Tile` (menu bar). The new width equals the old width multiplied by the number of times you want the item horizontally stacked. Similarly, multiply the height for the vertical stack. Make sure New image is selected, and choose OK. Copy the new image, navigate back to the ... (more) |

Stack contents of layer or selection If I have a layer or selection, how do I stack it horizontally and/or vertically such that it draws into the layer beneath (or current layer in the case of a selection)? I have a tile that I'd like to stack X number of times horizontally and Y number of times vertically such that the end resul... (more) |

Repeat one layer (group) as a tile I have an image which I want a number of identical tiles on top of, arranged such that the tiles start at an offset, then duplicate x number of times in the horizontal direction, and y number of times in the vertical direction. Additionally, I want multiple of these "tables" in the image. The... (more) |

I actually don't think it's possible, because I think that file's just a list of the window groups, not every individual window (every tab in Cocoa is an `NSWindow`).
That would also explain why I lost the whole window and not just a single tab when I deleted an entry from it... (more) |

| Question | — |
Restore tabs from windows.plist Due to unfortunate circumstances (my own shortcomings), I have managed to back up only `/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState/windows.plist` before making changes to that file, while overlooking `data.data` in the same directory. I now longer possess any version of that fil... (more) |

A: Find and close last opened tab in Safari Warning: this will result in the entire window the tab was located in, to be deleted Warning: `windows.plist` is invalid without its `data.data` file. Back up both before proceeding. Skip the first two steps if you remember the name of the tab. 1. Find and inspect `/Library/Safari/Hist... (more) |

| Question | — |
Find and close last opened tab in Safari Finding and opening the last open tab in Safari, is usually straightforward; just look in the user interface. However, that's not an option, because every time the browser is started, it opens every previous window and tab, and begins loading up infinite memory, 150+ GBs, until the system runs ou... (more) |

I see that question was closed, too, albeit not for being off-topic, so at least the Codidact community was correct in terms of topicality. (more) |

A: Why was this question about PyCharm closed? Because the concept in the question is out of the scope for Power Users. Python is a programming language; Pycharm is an integrated development environment. Thus the topic of the question, is the topic that concerns Software Development Codidact, not Power Users. From the FAQ in the help cent... (more) |

A: What does the "preparing" step do when I upload a video on some website with my iPhone? The simple explanation is that the file stored on your phone isn't the file the website wants, nor the one your phone wants to share. What needs exchanging are the contents of the file; the picture or video, but not the file as it resides on the phone. Thus, you'll have format conversion, resizin... (more) |

That isn't as much of a concern. What I refer to, are the fundamentals of this form of generative AI. Addons and extensions don't change those bits; the design that incorporates certain attributes deep in the system. For example the hallucinations, or the inability to really reason. I'm unaware o...

Thanks. I decided to post an answer about that after receiving your confirmation and after reasoning a bit further about it.
I'm not updated on the latest developments in LLMs, but I still haven't seen anything that's given me reason to reconsider my reservations against them.
What that means, ... (more) |

A: When running a query with ChatGPT with search enabled, can I restrict the search to only certain domain(s)? The answer appears to be no, because in order to do so, there would have to be a system in place to filter both the training material and the set of web pages that an auxiliary search is limited to, and this system would have to be available for configuration to the end user. This isn't the case.... (more) |

Any alternative application could suffice; it doesn't have to be MS Paint. Thus, it suffices to mention you attempted pasting it into other applications, without specifying which. Though, that should naturally lead to the conclusion that the problem most definitely lies with Google Chrome feeding... (more) |

@#53401 I downvoted it because I initially considered it more a comment than an answer. It doesn't say how to overcome the issue. As it says, it's a wild guess. It still has merits as an answer, just a very partial one, so reason to downvote instead of flag for NAA.
That said, seeing as it's b... (more) |

I don't think the answer to your cross-post on GenAI SE is correct. If the whole prompt is parsed by an LLM normally, then the following text that is generated is merely an approximation, a statistical likelihood, and not a guaranteed outcome. In other words, it's up to the LLM itself if it wants... (more) |

Is it pasted into an MS Paint file preset to a specific resolution, as an object? Possibly it automatically downsizes the picture to fit into that object/file?
I haven't used Windows in almost a year, so I can't test or verify it, thus I comment instead of writing an answer, at least for now. (more) |
