A bug auto-select mode + filtered by type layers

In addition to this: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4302940#4302940
When selecting multiple layers: 1. click > 2. "draw" a rectangle on the canvas to select desired layers > 3. release to submit selection
The bug happens on step 2: the selection rectangle is not drawn correctly, at some point it freezes with certain size, so there is no visual confirmation on the canvas what will be selected.

That's an interesting one, Thanks for letting us know!
I've passed it on.

Move Tool: Toggle auto select shortcut changed

The changed shortcuts to toggle the autoselection of layers with the move tool selected is highly frustrating to me. I used to have a great workflow with auto select turned on and used cmd to drag elements that were either off-canvas or too small / too transparent to grab them.
I used to have good time moving layers with Command hold, now holding Cmd toggles Layer/Group selection
How can I change it to previous behaviour?

Before:
You really only needed to uncheck Auto-select when you wanted to use the layser stack to make your selection on what to move. This could be useful, especially if you had lots overlapping layers but in most web-design workflows was rather an exception than the rule.
Holding down CTRL while in another tool, such as the Brush or Selection Rectangle or Lasso temporarily enabled the Move-Tool in whatever mode you had last set it when in the tool. That is similar in behaviour displayed by the color picker tool, which has several different picker modes that can be set with the tool active and that are applied when the temporary picker is used (by pressing ALT while using most tools that deals with pixel manipulation like the Brush and Pencil Tool ).
Now:
In Move Tool, Auto-Select Checked
Holding Down CTRL will switch selection mode from Layer to Group and vice versa.
In Move Tool, Auto-Select Unchecked
Holding Down CTRL will toggle Auto-Select On and Off
Releasing CTRL will revert to non-Auto-Select-Mode where you can move stuff around regardless on where you click in the workspace. So basically this is like it was before, only inverted.
And here comes the catch, these are all possible scenariosthat can occur with the Move-Tools settings:
Outside Move-Tool, Auto-Select Checked, Layer-Selection Mode active
CTRL will still activate the Move-Tool, but it will invoke the Group-Selection
Outside Move-Tool, Auto-Select Checked, Group-Selection Mode active
CTRL will activate the Move-Tool and will invoke the Layer-Selection. This feels as it was before.
Outside Move-Tool, Auto-Select Unchecked, Layer-Selection Mode active
will activate the Move-Tool and will invoke the Layer-Selection.
Outside Move-Tool, Auto-Select Unchecked, Group-Selection Mode active
will activate the Move-Tool and will invoke the Layer-Selection.
And this interrelation of behaviours is, what causes the problem. You need different settings for the Move-Tool to get the same action out of the temporary Move-Tool that you would get from the ragular Move-Tool.
I see what they were shooting for with this change. The new functionality is not unusable, but it has flaws that interrupt a workflow that many users rely on.
A compromise might be reached, by assigning the Layer/Group Toggle to another Function-Key combination like CTRL+ALT.
In the meantime, please do as you promised: roll back this change and re-introduce it, once the flaws have been ironed out. If I remember correctly, one of the often mentioned advantages of the Creative Cloud-model was the rapidity of updates. It is now up to you to make good on that claim. Please do.

'Ignore Adjustment Layers' when auto selecting

Auto select - being able to highlight layers based on where you click in the image, is a very useful option. Especially for design based work.
What I want is a way to specify the auto-selecting of active layer content only (this could be pixel or vector of course). And for it not to pick up adjustment layers.This could be an additional option in the move tool options bar. It would also be picked up with the Command and Shift command shortcuts (control on PC) which are so useful as they are.
Unfortunately for those of us that work with very complex layered structures, with many adjustment layers at the top level - auto select will also pick up WHITE areas on masks which have content other than 100% white or black. Its actually quite rare than you want to highlight adjustment layers in this way, and it really gets in the way. It very quickly becomes impossible to auto-acivate layers underneath any masked adustment layers
I am also aware of the contextual Control click and choose any layer under the icon, but this is not a replacement.

A workaround to avoid auto selecting adjustment layers is to lock the adjustment layer.
But an option in the Move tool will be more elegant solution.

Auto selection of PO type based on PR type

Dear Gurus,
I am placing question for the first time, please guide.
While using ME21N PO type should be automatically selected based on PR type when PR number is refered while creating PO.
I have configured "Link purchase requisition - document type" through Define Document type .
Above conf. has triggerd an error msg. in ME21N (useful to some extent).
But we want system to automatically select PO type based on PR type ( when PR No. refered in PO ).
Thanks in advance
Rammohan

Dear sir,
Auto creation of PO will not workout, since manual creation only allowed. Only auto PO type selection is required.
Even PO type select in in SU3 & personal setting are made blank.
Thanks
Rammohan

Move tool layer context menu acting differently to "Auto Select"?? (using 12.0.4)

Okay,
This is weird. I've just updated my mac photoshop to 12.0.4 and I'm finding that, when using the Move Tool and right/command clicking on an object, the context menu that pops up isn't selecting the right layer?
To be clear, it is highlighting a layer (this is not the initial Photoshop 12.0 bug that drove everyone mad until the update) but it's the wrong one? Results vary depending on where I'm clicking, sometimes it's "close" to the layer I want, say the group it's nested within, other times it's a million miles off.
Yet when I switch on "Auto Select" it's pin-point accurate again? It's like the brain has dropped out of my context menu and it doesn't know what to select.
Obviously I can keep switching "Auto Select" on, but that's an annoying change to my work flow and will slow me down no end. Mores to the point, clearly something is up here.
I've updated to 12.0.4 on my home imac (on 10.5.8 OSX if that helps) but I've been using 12.0.3 (possibly 12.0.2) in the studio where I work and never noticed this issue, it's just now after updating to 12.0.4 at home i'm noticing this weirdness.
Anyone have any ideas, I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance people,
G

To reset the tool I suggest click on it once and then look for something like this in the bottom half of your window:
In the above picture I have marked one section in red box. You need to click on it to get the option to either reset the only tool you have clicked or to reset all the tools in the editor window. Of course you have to be in Expert Mode to get this to work.
Good luck.

Auto select not working with tethered shooting

Hi,
I'm shooting images in a studio tethered, and up until yesterday it was working like a dream. I take a picture and it shows up on my mac... but now it's stopped working. The images capture ok, but the viewer doesnt show the most current picture.
I've checked that 'auto select' is ticked/checked on the HUD... and havent changed anything on my set up... so I'm hoping someone has an idea what it might be.
I'm working with the latest version of Aperture 3 on Lion with a Canon 5D
Any help greatly welcomed
Jack

When I thether It will work fine till the end of the day and I then I have to reboot. Once I reboot the images are captured and advance properly. So I suggest rebooting the machine. If it doesnt work normally at the start Id do the trouble shooting steps in
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
re boot in safe mode then ...
Start AP while holding the option key and repair permissions
delete the user AP preferencs
use disk utlilties to repair permissions
use Single user mode to type in th fsck command (look it up first)
Its alot but it covers alot also

Auto selection of file from folder during uploading??

Hi all friends,
Iam facing with one problem I am developing one uploading software for that i have used swing and servlet.Now my problem is i want to give auto selection of file from one folder means user just copy the files from any computer on network and paste it in predefind folder.And when they click on upload button it should start uploading of file one by one and after completion of uploading it move that file into another folder one by one.Now my software doing it perfectly but if user copy and paste any file in that predifined folder from network computer during uploading then they have to click upload button again after completion of first queue of files(for example if user first copy 10 files and start uploading and inbetween uploading of that 10 files if user copy another 10 files from network computer then they have to click on upload button again after completion of uploading of first 10 files).But my user requirement is they want to click on upload button once only at the time of starting my application and my application automatically select the file one by one from folder and send it to destination.Means if they copy the file from network machine inbetween uploading or any other user from network send file in that folder then my application should select those file automatically and start uploading means they don't want to click on upload button again.Can any one plz guide how I can slove this problem.Below r my codes:-
Upload.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
suspendflag=true;
Resume.setEnabled(false);
Suspend.setEnabled(false);
dest=frame.m_txtURL.getText();
File ff=new File("d:\\DTMS\\Upload");
File[] files = ff.listFiles();
fileList = new Vector();
if(files == null)
textArea.append("There is no file");
return;
else
for (int j = 0 ; j< files.length ; j++)
fileList.add(files[j]);
java.util.Collections.sort(fileList, new FileComp());//sorting by size
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run(){
for (int k = 0; k < fileList.size(); k++)//loop for queue {
File fname = (File)fileList.get(k);
String str=fname.getName();
log("Destination:" +" "+ dest);
log("Uploading Progress\nPlease Wait....");
result=doPost(fname,dest);//method for read file & send to servlet
String str2="Transfer apparently failed.";
String str3=result;
if(str2.equals(str3)){
Error(result);
else if(suspendflag==true){
File newfile =new File("d:\\DTMS\\Archives\\"+str);
fname.renameTo(newfile);

Get Selections From ALV on Multiple Selection Mode

Hi,
How can i get values of selected rows from ALV that has selection '0..n' (multiple selection) ?
Can somebody help me pls?
Thanks.

Hi Nurullah,
Steps to make multiple rows selectable in ALV:
1) Create the selection property of the node that you are binding to the DATA node as o..n
2) Un-check the, "Initialization Lead Selection" checkbox for the node which you are using to bind to the DATA node
3) In the WDDOINIT method specify the ALV's selection mode as MULTI_NO_LEAD. It is important that you set the selection mode to MULTI_NO_LEAD or else in the end you would be capturing 1 row lesser than the total number of rows the user has selected. This is because 1 of the rows would have the LeadSelection property & our logic wouldnt be reading the data for that row. Check the example code fragment as shown below:
DATA lo_value TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table.
lo_value = lo_interfacecontroller->get_model( ).
CALL METHOD lo_value->if_salv_wd_table_settings~set_selection_mode
    EXPORTING
      value = cl_wd_table=>e_selection_mode-MULTI_NO_LEAD.
Steps to get the multiple rows selected by the user
In order to get the multiple rows which were selected by the user you will just have to call the get_selected_elements method of if_wd_context_node. So as you can see its no different from how you would get the multiple rows selected by the user in a table ui element. First get the reference of the node which you have used to bind to the ALV & then call this method on it. Check the example code fragment below:
METHOD get_selected_rows .
DATA: temp TYPE string.
DATA: lr_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
            wa_temp TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
            ls_node1 TYPE wd_this->element_node_flighttab,
            lt_node1 TYPE wd_this->elements_node_flighttab.
lr_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE_FLIGHTTAB' ).
" This would now contain the references of all the selected rows
lt_temp = lr_node->get_selected_elements( ).
    LOOP AT lt_temp INTO wa_temp.
" Use the references to get the exact row data
      CALL METHOD wa_temp->get_static_attributes
        IMPORTING
          static_attributes = ls_node1.
      APPEND ls_node1 TO lt_node1.
      CLEAR ls_node1.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDMETHOD.
Hope this helps resolve your problem.

Uday

How to Turn Off the Auto-Select Function When Clicking In a Document?

Whenever I click my cursor within any document (Mail, Text, this post) sometimes an entire word is selected (highlighted in blue) rather than the cursor just being there blinking & ready for me to type. If I click again the entire line is selected, then the whole paragraph.
This is VERY frustrating when all I want to do is place my cursor within the document to edit or begin typing. If I'm not careful and click in a document and just start typing, the auto-selected text is deleted. Yikes!
Only my Mac Mini with the Leopard OS 10.5.8 does this, not my PowerBook w. Tiger OS 10.4.11. Thanks for any advice on this.

Correct, Sig.
When I checked the Double-Click speed in prefs, it was set all the way to the left -- SLOW. When I set it half-way to the right, problem was solved. Thanks much.

How can I get the selected action of content type by javascript from Firefox Options Applications?

I works on my website, and it have to check the PDF file will be opened in which plugins
So we have to implement some javascript to check the selected action of Content Type from Tool>Options>Application
Do we have any javascript code to check this

You can't check this with code that runs on the server or via JavaScript in the web page.
Note that current Firefox version do not expose the built-in PDF Reader via the navigator.plugin array, so if you can't detect a plugin than maybe assume that the built-in PDF reader is used with Firefox version 19 and later.

Auto-select clip under playhead? (for color correction)

Hi all
Another newbie question concerning color correction in FCS2.
When moving from clip to clip in the timeline, the viewer (which contains the 3-way color correction filter) doesn't refresh until I remember to double-click on the current clip to select it. In other words, if I change a filter on one clip, then move in the timeline to the next clip, the viewer still contains the previous clip's filter, and if I forget, I'll start fiddling with it, thinking I'm now looking at the current clip.
Still with me?
So, my question is, is there an "auto-select" feature whereby, as I move my playhead along the timeline, clips on a selected track (eg V1) will automatically get selected and loaded into the viewer?
I know there is an auto-select feature for tracks, which I've enabled for my video track, but it doesn't seem to be meant for what I want.
Thanks!
Matt

If you set the SYNC to OPEN, what is being played in the time line (and displayed in the Canvas view) will also be displayed in the Viewer.
Just a point of clarification - the Viewer doesn't hold the CC filter, it will only display the filters that have already been applied to currently displayed clip. If the next clip displayed in the viewer has not had the 3way CC applied, the 3way CC won't display as part of the filters on that clip.
Good luck,

Auto select layer after making visble

Hi,
Could someone tell me if it's possible to have Photoshop auto select the layer or group after making the layer visible, so clicking the eye. This bugs me every time I make a layer visible, since I end up moving the layer right after making it visible around 90% of the time (and it end up moving the last layer I had selected).
I'm on OS X 10.8.3 and CS6.
I apologise if I'm the only one with this tiny bugbear.
Thanks,
James

@ c.pfaffenbichler
When I tried your solution I found out that using Ctrl the appropriate layer ia selected, Alt copies the layer, Ctrl+Alt behaves the same as just Alt.
But using the Ctrl key is an easy way to accomplish what I wanted, too.

Auto select paper

HP photosmart 7525 windows XP
Cannot make the printer auto select the paper draw it pulls from. Will only pull from whichever paper size is in the printer configuration. All my other printers if you select 8.5 X 11 it will pull from that tray or if you say print photo paper it pulls from that tray.

Hello vencowings
The printer preferences need to be set so that the printer knows what paper type and size you are printing too.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Auto-select precision in Photoshop CS6 is incredibly frustrating

I have been using CS6 for a while now and one problem that I keep encountering is the auto-selection of shape layers. Trying to auto-select a layer that's within 10 pixels of a shape layer is impossible without having to zoom in. This is a little hard to explain without images... Cue image...
If you try to recreate the above image, where the black 20x20px rectangle is a shape and the red 38x38px rounded rectangle is rasterized pixels, you will see that auto-selecting the red rounded rectangle is impossible at 100%.
Is this intentional and just an issue for me? Selecting pixel layers in CS5 was never this annoying. It seems that shape layers have an invisible 10px area around them stopping you from selecting anything below them. This is so frustrating with pixel UI work.
I have hunted for a solution but haven't yet found one and there doesn't seem to be any options to disable either. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Billy

A good example of why mixing Mac and PC in the same thread can be so confusing.
My comment here is merely to indicate what I see when I do the various functions described. I have no position as to a bug or whatever.
When I Ctrl-Left click on the Layers palette, I indeed get to select any or all the layers, including linking them up which then shows up when you Ctrl-Right Click on the image. At that point I can revert to a particular layer, if I wish.
I have not been aware of this function, and as it stands, appears to be a useful function. It moves things along better for my work. However, I seldom use Layers for other than Adjustment so the OP's problem would not show.
Too bad I have uninstalled CS5. It would be interesting to see the difference.
So far as changes affecting power users, see the new (Ugh!) crop tool. I have many more steps to take to do a simple crop, and the result to my workflow similar to Billy's. Try to crop 10px off the bottom or sides of an image and know you nailed it without having to deselect the tool to get rid of the (no longer martching) ants.

How to make Logic auto-select channel when external instrument is selected?

I recently upgraded hardware and now have to upgrade the OS 9 software (MOTU FreeStyle) I've been using and join the 21st century. I asked a Guitar Center employee about what package to buy and stressed that I wanted the software to auto-select the midi channel since that was a major benefit (for me) in using FreeStyle. I was informed that all of the newer DAW software did this (which made sense to me, after all FreeStyle was already at least 10 years old, although no longer under development (hence OS 9.) Logic Express was specifically recommended.
Sadly, I don't see this capability in Logic Express. I don't understand why, if I have 15 instruments set up, and I select a new one, I have to manually look at each of the other instruments (assuming I don't have their channels memorized) and see what channels have been used so that I don't accidentally reuse the same one for the new instrument. Doesn't the computer already know what channels are unused??
In FreeStyle could have 25 instruments set up for a 16 channel keyboard, and as long as there was never more than 16 voices playing at any particular time, the software just managed the channels for me. I don't know what happens if you go over 16 for a 16 channel instrument, I don't think I ever did (I never had voices cut out anyway.)
Not to berate Logic Express, there's lots of cool stuff in it that I'm looking forward to exploring, and it sounds like you have to jump through hoops even to get MOTU's Digital Performer to emulate the same behavior and I suspect it's as much of a hassle to set it up as to just do it on the fly (from previous experience of "what a salesman says" vs. "what is real.") I'm just trying to figure out how to make the computer do the computer work so that I can do the music work.
I have lots of partial (and even some complete!) projects to port over and not nearly as much spare time as I'd like to spend playing. I'd rather spend my meager spare time composing, not fighting with the technology.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-David

Hi bunker,
I can't test it at the moment but I think that can be achieved by slightly changing the code like so:
*<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>*
*<script type="text/javascript">*
*$(document).ready(function(){*
*$("td.GFPFilter span input").focus(function(event){*
this.select();
this.value = '';
*</script>*
Also, if you found my posts helpful or correct could you apply those labels to the relevant posts?
Cheers,
J
