Dark grey bar obscuring part of export file dialogue box

Hi All,
I've recently noticed that when I export a picture and the save as file dialogue box opens a black or dark grey horizontal rectangle obscures part of the window and the files/folders in it as shown here:

and

I can usually work around it but it's a bit irritating. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Cheers,
Dave.

have you tried the basics yet? I think deleting preferences would be the place to start.

Flash Builder 4.7 + OSX 10.10 Yosemite + File Dialogue Box = CRASH :-(

Problem Description:
When attempting to use a Flash Builder File Dialogue Box under OSX 10.10 Yosemite will immediately crash the application. This bug essentially now renders Flash Builder 100% useless!
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Flash Builder 4.7 on OSX 10.10 Yosemite
2. Attempt to use any File Dialogue Box, such as "Browse.." etc
Actual Result:
The application immediately crashes.
Expected Result:
You should be able to conduct the action, such as loading a Flex Project, adding an SDK etc.
Any Workarounds:
None

LOL
anyways, I've attempted to update the java symlink to move back to java 1.6 to see if that works.
java -version should report something like "java 1.7.0_xxx" for yosemite
sudo rm /usr/bin/java (remove our current java symlink to 1.7.x)
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Commands/java /usr/bin/java (sets up the new symlink)
java -version should now report something like "java 1.6.0_xx"
Done.
Open file-dialog chooser in FB. Still explodes.

Select File Dialogue Box in CC doesn't have data sources option

I am trying to use Dreamweaver to create dynamic links in my database. The select file dialogue box no longer lets me choose server side data sources. Does any one else know how to use this function in CC?

Photoshop Action Question How to Avoid Replace Files Dialogue Box

I have Photoshop CS3 running on a Macintosh. This Photoshop action on this Mac opens PDFs and saves them as a JPEG to a folder on a server.
Sometimes the originating file will be modfied, so a new PDF will be created and have to go through the action again. The intent is for the action to overwrite the preexisting JPEG file(s) on the server, because they are out of date and must be replaced.
The photoshop action on the Mac converts the new PDF to a JPEG, but then stops and shows a "Replace Files" dialgue box, which displays a listing of the name(s) of the JPEG(s) that will be overwritten. The dialogue box reads "Some of the specified files already exist in the target location. The files marked will be replaced." Below that message are two buttons to choose from, "Cancel" and "Replace". I always click "Replace"
Is there a way to get the the action, (which specifically reads, "With Save Image Files" on the part of the action where it saves the jpg), to just go ahead and overwrite the existing JPEG file(s) on the server without presenting the dialogue box?

I can’t test on CS3, but I think the affected features should not have changes since CS3.
Anyway, I think an Action cannot perform what you want, a Script should be able to, though.
You could adapt the following code by changing the variable docPath to the correct path of the Folder you want to save the jpgs into.
If you want to give it a try, paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (part of Photoshop’s installation, Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/ExtendScript Toolkit CS3, I guess) and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
After restarting Photoshop the Script should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action or started from ExtendScript Toolkit directly.
// saves jpg into same folder;
// be advised: this overwrites existing jpgs of the same name without prompting.
// 2010, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop;
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var thedoc = app.activeDocument;
// getting the name and location;
var docName = thedoc.name;
if (docName.indexOf(".") != -1) {var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1]}
else {var basename = docName};
// getting the location, if unsaved save to desktop;
try {var docPath = thedoc.path}
catch (e) {var docPath = "~/Desktop"};
// jpg options;
var jpegOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpegOptions.quality = 9;
jpegOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpegOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
//save jpg as a copy:
thedoc.saveAs((new File(docPath+"/"+basename+".jpg")),jpegOptions,true);
//that’s it; thanks to xbytor;

Export Results Dialogue Box

Does anyone know how I can clear the results in this dialogue box?
Thanks!

Rob
This specific error message ocurred when I tried to transfer a very large file to my SmugMug account via the plugin. Since that time, I have exported 100's of other images without a problem, but this message won't go away.
Thanks!

Photoshop CS5 insert specific text in part of save as dialogue box

Hi,
I have a large number of images to export as web-images.
I have an action in Photoshop (CS5 sadly) that works just fine.
However I need to rename them.
I select part of the name and overwrite with the new text and press enter and it continues.
In a perfect world I would be able to select one of, say 3 different optional texts to be inserted over the selected text.
Is that possible to do in an actionscript?
In a bit less perfect world, I would be able to pause the action - select the text and maybe add a few characters - and kick the action to insert the text and move on.
Example:
Original names have no real name structure.
Original name could be
100000-10_xxx_13.jpg
100000-xx-17h.jpg
100000_00.jpg
Wanted name structure
100000-10-12300-xxx-xxx-01.jpg
Is this possible? A pointer would be nice. :-)
/K

First of all actionscript exists it a Flash feature I do not think you meant that. Photoshop has action support and has script stpport. Actions can use scripts and scripts can use actions. Actions can only use logic by using scripts. Actions can also be made interactive by turning on step dialogs. For example you could add a text layer "Copyright John Smith © 2014" step then turn on the make text layer step dialog. When the step is played the text "Copyright John Smith © 2014" will be added and be displayed in text edit mode all highlighted you can edit the text and click on the commit text check mark in the tool option bar to commit your text change or accept the text as recorded.
Action have some control over save file names but not much. For good naming of output files you need to use Batch or a Photoshop script. Scripting is programming which most likely you do not have the required education and skill set to do. However Photoshop ships with some canned scripts and other can be downloaded from the web to help you process your images. I would highly recommend searching for and a download for Installing Image Processor Pro plug-in script . It is better then the Image Processor Script that ships with Photoshop.
Image Processing scripts can save and resize images file of your images. These scripts dialog provide you with all the options you need to save the file types you need with the save option that you set and you can have these scripts include actions you create to to do custom processing. You actions only need to deal with things you want to do to the image. File handling and image sizing will be done for you using your options set in the scripts dialog. With Image Processor Pro you cane even encapsulate the dialog setting by recording using the Image Processor Pro.
As long as man exists this will be a less then perfect world we make mistakes and learn from them . A perfect world would be boring there would be nothing to do.....

Help - hide ineligible file types in open file dialogue box

Hi all - I just got my first Mac, and and having considerable difficulty figuring out the following the problem. When you try to open a file from any application, you can select which files can be opened by the "enable" drop box - ineligible file types are then greyed out.
Question: how can I make ineligible file types invisible (like on a PC)? Thanks in advance!
NB. this might appear trivial to some people, but I work with lots of data and 1000s of files per folder, and have found myself spending at times 5-10 minutes looking for 1 file in 1 folder, just because I have to browse through so many ineligible file types.

Is that seriously impossible? That sounds ridiculously incompetent on Apple's part. I will have no option but to go back to a PC, because this is too much of a drag on my productivity.
PCs are fine. If they fit your requirements better than Leopard, do use them. But don't grep about it. It's a big tent. I regularly use my PCs for things that Macs cannot do. But I never consider anything "ridiculous" on anyone's part. Not every OS is well-suited to every task. Use the one that works best but do not call another OS "incompetent" simply because you think something is missing. I would say that properly vetting a new OS before moving to it is an "incompetent" move.
Did you really use due diligence before getting a Mac? Didn't you check everything out beforehand?
I did. I got exactly that which I expected.
Do not blame someone else for things that they do not claim to have. Sometimes the blame lies elsewhere.

Online Export PDF hangs after the 'export to' dialogue box

Explorer 10 running on Windows 8. My initial attempt at converting a .pdf file into .docx file is failing as the screen simply shows "uploading xxxx.pdf..." and no file is ever exported/imported. I'm assuming this is a setting-type issue, but I can't seem to ferret out the answer on my own. Any suggestions?

Hi David,
So we were finally able to test with the increased timeout, which we set to 5 min:
<httpRuntime
            executionTimeout="300"
            maxRequestLength="4096"
            useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
            minFreeThreads="8"
            minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
            appRequestQueueLimit="100"
            enableVersionHeader="true"
        />
Unfortunately, now we started getting other errors, related to the limit of the licenses:
A Crystal Reports job failed because a free license could not be obtained in the time allocated. More licenses can be purchased direct from Crystal Decisions or through the Crystal Decisions Online Store.
According to page 8 of the article below, we should be able to purchase more such licenses free of cost:

Could you let us know how to proceed in order to obtain the licenses?
Thank you,

How to change open file dialogue box date format

Hi - I can't find how to change the date format whenever I open any creative suite document - my system preferences are set to dd/mm/yy and every other application shows this date except for CS4 it shows mm/dd/yy. Can anyone help please. Much appreciated.

Hi, I'm having the same problem with the date format - all Creative Suite 'open' menu items are showing US format mm/dd/yyyy rather than UK format dd/mm/yyyy... although everything else on my system is set for UK format and all other programs open properly. The strange thing is: I'm sure this has only just happened after years of using Creative Suite... I'm sure I would have noticed it before. I'm on CS3 so haven't had any recent updates that might have affected it.

Export file formats from flash?

Hi, I have an issue concearning existing file formats for export in Flash CS4.
According to the user's manual in Italian I have found, http://help.adobe.com/it_IT/Flash/10.0_UsingFlash/WS0E26E472-1533-4297-A904-59476E8E1935.h tml
available formts include EPS and AI.
As far as AI is concearned, I have this option but exported AI files are hard to open in Illustrator, since a number of problems appear.
If I separate all groups in Flash and then export to AI format, Illustrator finally opens the AI file, but changing the colours and the shape of my design.
Moreover, no dialogue box for Illustrator version options appear when I choose AI for export, as is described in the support page.
As to EPS file format, it is not in the export file dialogue box, the formats I have are JPG, PNG, GIF, EMF, WMF, BMP.
My point is that I draw in Flash, then I need to export the designs in Illustrator for print optimization, but the content changes dramatically, if I actually can open the files.
Caould anyone help me?
Silvia

I am unsure about the Illustrator export, as I have never needed to do this, nor do I have CS4.
The EPS reads as a printer option, not an export one:
"An EPS file can be printed with a PostScript printer. ... This format has no definable export options"

New imac displays horizontal grey bars and green pixels on startup and then freezes on a light grey screen

This is happening on a brand new 21 inch imac, all new specs released a few days ago.
This happened the first time I started up the imac straight out of the box. The screen displays alternating light and dark grey bars with green pixel specs all over it. The apple symbol and and loading symbol are visible too - but it then goes to a light grey screen and freezes.
If I manualy restart it will then startup normaly but will do this next time I startup the machine from a cold start.
Does anyone else have this issue. This is my first mac and it doesn't seem acceptable to me. I think I've been sent a dud!
Any help / opinions would be helpful. Cheers

I wouldn't try to solve this issue by troubleshooting a brand new machine. My personal policy is if an electronic device is malfunctioning out of the box, I return it for a replacement. We're talking about an expensive purchase and it should work, but even with stringent quality control a small number of products will fail out of the box. You didn't mention whether you ordered it online or purchased it at an Apple store. If you can, get a new machine at an Apple store and take advantage of the free setup. An Apple salesperson will start it in the store, so you'll know before leaving if it's good.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix the rendering problem on dialogue boxes, menu and address bars in the Beta?

I am getting bizarre zigzag lines, bolded items on the vertical part of letters on the Menu bar and Address bar, and any edge of a dialogue box or input frame gets the odd zigzag lines on both sides.

Your battery experience is unusual. While I don't use my phone a lot it is on 24/7. The mists I've seen my battery run down is to abut 45% after 10 hours offi the charger.
Here's how to reset (reboot) your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
If that is what you did I suggest making an appointment at and Apple store for a consultation.

Open file dialogue hangs with extension panels

Hi. I have PS CS5 64 bit running on a PC, Win 7.
Everything has been working fine but I have recently installed two new extension panels - Fundy Image Brander and Tych Panel. When either of these scripts require you to input a file to open via the Open File dialogue box, everything hangs for 2-3 minutes. The mouse and keyboard do not lock and you can open up other windows which work fine. The open file dialogue just hangs (not just on selecting an individual image but selecting a drive or folder). If you call up the Task Manager and End Photoshop as a task a dialogue box pops up with the mesage "The system cannot end this program because it is waiting for a response from you."
Photoshop otherwise works well. It's just when the extension panel requires you to input a file to open. Has anyone else encountered this problem or has any ideas?

Hi. Both are extension panels. Fundy Image Brander is a paid for extension (http://www.fundysoftware.com/image-brander/) and the other a free extension (http://lumens.se/tychpanel/).
I have seven extension panels running and these are the only two that require the user to set file input locations.
Photoshop otherwise works just fine and I have no problems opening files. Other Windows programs also run without any problems. It's just these two that hang when the select or open file dialogue appears.
And no I haven't contacted the producers.

Where's the drop-down with "Recent places" in "Open File" dialogue?

Hi,
Until Mountain Lion, all "Open file" dialogue boxes included at the top a drop-down list with higher-level locations as welll as "recent places" - folders that were recently used to open files.
In apps such as Smultron, this is hugely efficient and I would say the vast majority of the file I open, I access via that drop-down.
Now, in apps that support iCloud, the UI of the "Open file" dialogue has changed significantly - with that drop-down now completely missing!!!
I am actually really really upset about this feature being removed. Is there ANY way to bring it back? I waste so much time now in opening files, it's ridiculous.
Thanks,
Biranit

Wierdly the only way I have found to bring this essential piece of the open file dialog box back is to disable icloud "Docuemetns & Data". Then hey presto the view controls are back on the top and the drop-down returns.
...but you don't have icloud documents any more
Sounds like a wierd omission in Mountain Lion if you ask me. I use that drop-down all the time...

Removing Desktop from gnome file dialogue places list

I recently installed nautilus and when i did it added Desktop to my list of places in the gnome file dialogue boxes.
As I use fluxbox I don't use the desktop and want to remove the link but the remove option is not enabled. How can I remove it?

Unfortunately tis broken!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/gnome/bin/alacarte", line 22, in ?

import gtk, gtk.glade, gmenu, gobject, gnomevfs, gnome.ui
ImportError: No module named gnomevfs
Before I go to the trouble of finding the missing dependency, is the gnome file dialogue included in what this can edit? I'm asking as one of the dependencies it did install was gnome-menus which hints that it can modify those menus but possibly not the one I want.
