Custom Preference Panel for quick access

I love that I can hit CMD-K to get to preferences and toggle things like Scale Strokes & Effects. But that's pretty much the only one I toggle in that area.
Request: A custom control panel (keyboard shortcut accessible) so I can quickly access frequently-tweaked settings. I don't mind mousing it from there.
First thing I would put is Paste Remembers Layers. I need it to remember about half the time. (I need it to NOT remember the other half.)
But that's just me. The whole point is, people's needs are different. This should be customizable.
Totally different kind of thing: Menu options that launch dialogs like "Manage Artboards". Drag that right in there, and now there's a launch target.
To customize, I'm imagining it open while dragging menu options or what-have you right in there.

Never mind.

How can I add more chosen websites for quick access in the remaining empty fields in "file"-"new tab"? ing empty fields

I can´t add preferred, chosen, most visited or bookmarked websites to the 28,15 or 6fields in"file" - "new tab". I have a PC with Windows Vista and have been using Firefox with additional Google toolbar as my preferred or default browser for several years. I have downloaded several updates. I suspect that my version is now 4 or 5. Originally the Google for Firefox new tab feature showing chosen favourite or preferred websites for quick one click access worked fine but I seem to have lost the abiiity or forgotten how to add new such favourites for quick access. The "edit" button there on the bottom left can only delete valuable chosen sites, which then seem to the be lost forever. This edit button is very dangerous! The "bookmarks" and "most visited" tabs listed show a wild coincidental mixture of sites I once visited sometime but have nothing to do with my real favourites or chosen or most visited sites. So I don´t use these bookmark or "most visited" features.

Most visited would not be your bookmarks, but your tab history.
You can check that out via Ctrl+Shift+H then search on ":" (colon without the quotes). Sort on the "Visits Count" (descending) and you will see that they agree.
'''Most visited''' is one of the '''smart bookmark folders''' which are database queries.

Sounds like some security software is freaking out, because it's not been set up properly for iTunes.

Custom File Extension for Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)

I'm trying to use a custom file extension for the Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv) driver.
I have updated the FileExtns registry to have my new extension.
When I issue the following it does not work.
select [NoName]
from openrowset('MSDASQL'
           ,'Driver={Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)};
                DefaultDir=c:\filedir'
           ,'select * from "file.lst"')
If I make the file a .csv it works fine. However, if it has an extension of not CSV or TXT (in this case .lst, which is in the registry setting) extension it throws the following error and cannot seem to find a solution to it.
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".
In addition, (although I can probably find this elsewhere), I need to have the first line 'BLANK' so that it does not miss data (there is no header row). Is there a way to use OPENROWSET without BULK to basically include all rows as data?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
According to your description, I did a test with your script, and got the same message as your post. Usually, by default, the Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv) supports the four extensions file, such as *.asc, *.csv, *.tab, *.txt. To solve this issue,
I recommend you try to save the LST file in the above format, then use OPENROESET to get data from the supported extensions file in SQL Server.
In addition, the
OPENROWSET function is mainly used to retrieve remote data from an OLEDB data source, when you use OPENROWSET without BULK, provider_name is a necessary parameter in the script. However, the OPENROWSET (BULK...) is mainly called from a SELECT…FROM clause
within an INSERT statement, when importing bulk data from a data file into SQL Server table. Thus if you need to import bulk data, you should use the basic syntax: INSERT ... SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK...), also there are some alternatives, such as
BULK INSERT
and
BCP .
Thanks

CS6 Preference Panel for plugin?

Since ADM is not available in CS6, I am wondering how to add preference items to the preference panel. Though AddPreferencePanel is still available in preference suite, it is taking a dialog id as parameter and the doc refers to ADMDialogSuite, so I guess it is still there by mistake.
I am using Qt, and of course I can create my own preferences dialog, but is it possible to add it to the existing preferences dialog to provide seamless interface?

At present, not that I know of. It'd be nifty of course, but our solution is just to add our own Preferences menu item nearby (above Keyboard Shortcuts at present). It'd be nice to have access to their preference dialog, but in the end we found it more useful to have our own dialog (we have a lot of preferences!)

Any tricks for quick access to IP6 Plus while backpacking?

Such a large beast, anyone found an around the neck or backpack strap attachment to allow for easy access to an IPhone 6 PLUS? A fanny pack turned around seems awfully bulky. I've not been able to find anything... Any ideas or products? Thanks

Storing a lot of data in an indexed data structure for quick access.

I'm designing an app. which will need to store a large amount of data in memory. Records will be flowing into the app. via a socket. The app will receive about 30 records/second which is about 108,000 records/hour and about 600,000 records/day. I need to store the records in an indexed data structure so that I can access them quickly. For example, at 9:00am I will need to access records received at 8:30am, 8:35am, 8:40am, etc. This program will be multithreaded and as I understand Vector is the only data structure that is thread safe. Is Vector my only choice? How do I access objects in a Vector using an index? Is there something better that I can use?

Is Vector my only choice?If you want to access the objects by key then you should use something like a HashMap. But if you want to access them by an array index then an ArrayList would be more appropriate.
as I understand Vector is the only data structure that is thread safeYou can get a thread-safe version of any Collection object by using the Collection.synchronizedCollection method.
How do I access objects in a Vector using an index? I'd suggest you read the API documentation. And probably the Sun tutorial on Collections at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/collections/index.html
600,000 records/day. Unless you plan to dump old data after a short period of time, you may want to consider using a database to avoid running out of memory.

External hard drive for quick access to photos/music

Hi! I have a 13" Macbook Pro circa 2009. I want to purchase a large and fast external hard drive that I can actively use. Meaning this external hard drive would become my storage for all photos and music, NOT just a backup drive. I want to be able to sync my iPhone to my Macbook Pro, and have iTunes read off of the external drive. And the same for photos and videos. By doing this, I free up about 90% of the space on my Mac, and I'd imagine it would run a lot faster. Firstly, is this even possible? Secondly, which drives can do this? This is the reason I want it to be fast, so that I can seamlessly use the external hard drive as if it's right in my computer. What do you suggest? Can wireless drives do this? I'm more than open to any manufacturer including non-Apple. THANKS.

Yes, you can use an external drive for primary storage. As to which type would be fastest, it's limited to the fastest port on your MacBook Pro (which, in your case, would be FireWire 800, if you've a mid-2009 MacBook Pro).
There are many good drives out there with various degrees of size, but you'll want to look at one with a 'quad' interface, which would include a FireWire 800 port. I've had very good luck with LaCie (now owned by Seagate), LaCie, etc. OWC also has a number of external, quad-interfaced drives.
Good luck,
Clinton

How to get my photo files on the left panel for easy access?

I was watching a informational video about adobe photoshop. I have been opening my pictures file from my computer and dragging the pictures from the my computer window to the project bin and then each picture pops up in a window overlapping eachtother. in the video i watched, she easily accessed her pictures from her computer files from a pane in the left side of adobe Can anyone help me? Im very new to this and need all the help i can get in the simplest terms thanks!

I assume you are talking about Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor...
There is a Project bin which is shown in the bottom by default and can be moved to left. Project Bin displays all the files currently open in Editor.

I need help putting icons in the toolbar for quick access to my favorite site

In the old firefox i was able to put small icons in the toolbar area. Now I am not sure how to put those back on because it deleted all of them when i updated to the 4.0 firefox. How can i put them 0n agian??

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
This can also be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Bug fix for can not open notification center, missing OneDrive functionality and missing standard pins from quick access

(this post was previously titled: Quick Access: Anoying extra navigation to browse to desktop etc. - User space should be under Quick Access - please relocate or add such an option to move Desktop, Documents etc. to be listed under Quick Accesss)
Quick Access: Anoying extra navigation to browse to desktop etc. - User space should be under Quick Access - please relocate or add such an option to move Desktop, Documents etc. to be listed under Quick Access
So depending on the out-of-the-factory solution - whether giving priority to back compatibility (desktop list under PC) - the only place in Windows 10 to find it (please add by default at Quick Access) ... this think about removing then the redundant link
which be under This PC then.
There are already options now - in Explorer > View Folder Options > General to control the provisioning of the concepts in the User navigational space for Quick Access, Libraries:
1) So may be put an option so at least you can set Explorer to show the user space folders Desktop, Documents, Links, Videos, Pictures, Downloads under the Quick Access concept (where it now naturally belongs) rather than under the technical concept "This
PC) - where you would normally expand to browse drives.
2) Another option: If you do not care to expand drives - also add a provisioning option for hiding the This PC object (if all User Space concept are now available at Quick Access).

Quick Access: Anoying extra navigation to browse to desktop etc. - User space should be under Quick Access - please relocate or add such an option to move Desktop, Documents etc. to be listed under Quick Access.
Had to redo my roaming profile - i.e. delete it and start all over. It was a legacy profile from i.e. Windows 8.
OneDrive was not working - notification center not working - and apparently the documents, pictures etc. folder was not pinned under Quick Access.
After deleting and recreating the profile everything was inplace - including the user space folders (documents, pictures etc) listed under Quick Acess which I complained about in the previous post.

Some comments on Adobe 'Custom Panels for XMP File Info' document

In developing a couple of Photoshop/Bridge custom metadata panels for cataloguing my photo collection, I noticed one or two things that look like possible errors in the above document. These comments relate to the version of the document dated April 2005.
P10, description of 'cat_container_edit_text' widget type: surely this should also list custom variable 'container_type', which is needed to specify whether the metadata array is a bag, seq or whatever.
P25, details of 'cat_container_edit_text': same comment applies.
P8 et seq: the requirements for use of the 'name' variable appear contradictory. The summary descriptions of various widgets such as 'edit_text' contain the statement that 'You must provide name, xmp_namespace and xmp_path values for this widget to supply a dynamic
value', but the description of 'name' on P16 says that it 'Applies only to fixed-text widgets. Do not use this variable to change the value or text of the widget at run time.'

Joe, here is the Adobe link that I could not find yesterday when I put up the link to the (suspect) archive site:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xmp/sdk/topic_cust_file_info_panels.html
I have not looked into these panels for years and I am not sure what has changed in CS4.
Yes, the free software mentioned previously was limited in the amount of fields, however correct me if I am wrong - the output was just XMP text data and one could simply open it in a text editor and copy/paste/edit extra fields and resave, as the limitation was with the GUI frontend and not with XMP.
Obviously the computer reading the file needs the custom info panel installed to see the panel in it's full glory, otherwise the metadata is "hidden" away in one of the other metadata listings (I can't remember where). I also had problems picking up the custom metadata when searching via catalogue applications that could read other common metadata such as IPTC.
It was a bit of a mixed bag if I recall, showing promise however it was not really ready for the average user to use.
Anyway, it sounds as if my very limited knowlege on this area is being exhausted...
While on the topic, some other links that may help:

Where do I install Custom File Input Panels for CC Bridge?

I am trying to install the CustomPanel_allWidgets.xmp sample xmp file on a Mac in Adobe Bridge CC 6.1.0.115.
I've tried about every application and user folder combination for Library ▸ Application Support ▸ Adobe ▸ XMP ▸ Custom File Info Panels ▸ 4.0 to no avail.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Amit,
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, that didn't work for me. I'm starting to think that the xml file I was using isn't valid or somehow not picked up.
What I am attempting to do is add a simple custom file info panel that allows one to input four text fields to be read by a downstream application. Is there an "Adobe Bridge CC Custom Info Panels for Dummies" or some other tutorial showing how this is done? The video on Adobe TV appears to be out of date as it references an older version of Bridge.
Thanks for you guidance on this.

Central (web based?) location for custom XMP panels

We maintain 3 custom XMP panels for a global network of photographers & DAM's. We'd like to be able to update our custom XMP panels (say add new drop down choices,) and have those immediately reflected globally. If Bridge checked a central resource (say a website) for what should be the most up to date version of an XMP panel, we would have an easier time managing the process.

Yes, the ability to subscribe to centrally-published custom XMP file info panels from CS apps would be extremely helpful, and since the CS4 panels are just XML files, a simple mechanism such as a subscription to an RSS feed would probably do the trick.

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) goes to Computer Drive C - instead of Quick Access

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) still have its legacy behavior implemented and navigates to a computer drive, by preselecting and letting the user start at Computer > Drive C - instead of Quick Access.
This is simply a forgotten correction after Quick Access has been introduced that needs to be corrected for Quick Access to work effectively (in a valuable way for the user) with files not just during create and modify operations on files - but also Open
file - using File Dialog Boxes (although users may use launch instead for Opening files using i.e. Explorer or navigation from shortcuts on the desktop).
This missing change of File Dialog Box behavior is unintended and now contradicts the new design with Quick Access for faster navigation (so you should not have to start with a scroll and extra navigation to look for Quick Access (contradiction:
i.e. QUICK Access)
Please support the new navigation provided by Quick Access intended to give Quick Access - thus Save As must be able to start here.
For variability, may be provide an overriding option in Explorer>Folder Options>General (if you change the default behaviour in the File Dialogue) to have Save As start at Computer > Drive C.
! Remember to do the change for the Common File Dialog as well - used by most widespread software applications in the Adobe software applications portfolio, i.e. Adobe Photoshop CS6

Thank you for your time and response! Unfortunately, we have the machine locked down pretty tight (they are public use computers that require heavy restriction) and it is set to restrict all drives so access is limited to the local profile. We did try
testing your method, however, by adding the Desktop as an allowed location in the Office policy (which would not solve the issue for the other applications but was good for a test) using the path %userprofile%\desktop. When choosing that location, it does
not throw the error but unfortunately, it does not remember like it did for your with the E: drive so it still always throws the error when first loading the dialogue box no matter what I do. If you're able to confirm that this is simply by design and we're
just expected to inform our users to click through the errors, then I guess that's the accepted answer. Although, do you think that there might be a registry key value that is set after you save to the E: drive for the first time? Maybe we could set that value
to %userprofile%\desktop if it's doing the redirection after the first save through registry. Thanks again!
