A few more FCP X Bugs/Annoyances

Hello all,
I cannot thank the help and expertise from some of the members in the FCP X support community.  Luis Sequeira and Tom Wolsky you guys are part of the reason why I am persevering with FCP X and am finding it to be the future of editing despite the many flaws it has.  I was glad to find out I wasn't just one of a few who found some of the bugs and inconsistencies to be slightly more than an annoyance.  Here are a few more that i've noticed and am wondering if anyone has found out why these issues exist and would care to add upon:
This one is for Macbook FCP X users.  I don't have this problem on my tower or my 27" iMac so I am led to believe this is a deliberate (althrough strange and unwise) GUI design change from Apple.  When I open up my color board on my 13" Macpro, I see my color board, exposure and saturation control just like I do on my desktops.  I do not however, see the percentage change view/controls underneath.  I cannot scroll down further, all I have to play with is the respective color, saturation and exposure "board" leaving me to use my eyes as my only trusted gauge for correction/change.  Here's an image of what I see...
Notice no percentage gauge?
Here's another issue I have not been able to find a workaround for despite trying usual and predictable avenues in my attempts.  It's not a huge deal, but being a keyboard shortcut junky, I find it annoying that I cannot press Command + E to export with my default settings on my macbook.  The shortcut is not visible in the menu or when I hover my curser over the icon.  Naturally, I went into my command editor to see whether i'd have to edit or completely create this shortcut on my own.  The shortcut is definately still the same in the comman editor, but still no avail.  I've input the keys to manually create this shortcut, still the same.
Here is what I see:
No matter what I do, when I press Command + E (I make sure i'm in the timeline) the shortcut doesn't work and I hear the sound that occurs when an incorrect or unvailable  command/action occurs.  Not a huge deal but still need to know if this is a legit bug or if it was intentional for laptop owners for some strange unidentifiable reason.  I'm wondering if any other Macbook users are encountering the same problem.
I am about to mention these issues as well as a few others in hopes they can address them in future updates but wanted other peoples take on them.  These aren't bugs as much as things I think would make more sense if corrected or improved upon:
Pressing CMD + 6 to open AND CLOSE the color board  to make color adjustments.  Once i am done making my necessary color/exposure adjustments, why can't i close this window with the same shortcut i used to open it?  I can open the color board with CMD+ 6 but cannot close it with the same keyboard shortcut command.  Same with CMD + 8 for audio enhancements, I can open the audio enhancements window with this shortcut but cannot close it with this shortcut.  I have to close the entire inspector with the keyboard shortcut cmd 4 to close the window.  Seems very counter intuitive and for short term projects isn't that big of an issue (like I mentioned i'm a keyboard shortcut fanatic), but becomes very annoying for paid, commercial work (which i've become accustomed to using CS6 for).  When i work on my laptop I keep the inspector open when I need to maximize viewer space and would like to be able to have the color board close as conveniently as it opens without having to press cmd 4 to close inspector.  Not that big of a deal but would like to see this fixed, wanted other people's thoughts?
Thanks again for your help, the transition to FCP X for things other than Facebook and short Instagram vids is coming about slowly but surely...
Anthony

Pull down the separator bar at the bottom of the color board to create more space for the percentages.
The color board and audio enhancements are parts of the inspector. You close the inspector with Cmd-4.
Cmd-E is the default export setting. It's assignable to any preset or custom export setting. Open Destination preferences, right-click on the setting you want and select make default.

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

  • Stuck at "Setting up a few more things 100%" when upgrading to build 9860

    Hello everyone,
    I'm currently running Windows 10 Technical Preview, installed from the setup.exe (so not from a bootable disc/USB-stick), which does work better than I expected. Of course there are many bugs and other problems under the hood, but so far I haven't found
    big issues so far.
    Unfortunately, when I try to install the latest build - build 9860 - it keeps hanging at 'Setting up a few more things 100%'. That's really strange, since '100%' should mean it's actually done. I've done about five attempts, none of them resulted in anything
    better. After a few attempts, I thought I had to install some updates through Windows Update first, so I did. But after that, installing build 9860 still didn't want to install properly.
    Anyone who can help me with this? 
    Just some key information about the notebook I'm using, in it's necessary:
    ASUS N56VB-S4061H
    2.4 GHz quad Intel Core i7-3630QM
    6 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GT740M

    Hi DutchTom18,
    You can try uninstall anti-virus software that has been installed after installation of Windows 10.

  • HT1414 IPHONE 3GS Problems. Updated to IOS6 then says There are just a few more steps to take. Press Continue. Once pressed it says connect to itunes. So plugged the cable in and it does nothing and stays on that screen. How can he fix it?

    Hi, My friend has just updated there 3GS to IOS6 and once it's done, 2 screens appear. first one says, Update complete, there are just a few more steps to take. Press continue and another screen comes up with the itunes symbol and the cable and says connect to itunes. Once plugged in, on itunes it reconises the phone and has the loading symbol up, but it doesn't loads anything and can't press anything. Anyone know why and how to resolve this?

    You're on your own.  Good luck.

  • I started making a movie and all was well. I added a few more pictures and some sound and played it back. It plays so far and then the pictures break up into colors and then the screen turns green.  The sound continues.

    I am making a movie from still pictures. I used no theme and then started adding pictues. When I played it back, all was well. Then I added a few more pictures and some sound. When I play iot back it plays just so far and then the sound continues, but the screen turns green or the pictures break up into colors.

    Sorry, everyone.  I think I may have figured out what it was all down to...........
    I had left the IDE ribbon cable plugged into my third HDD, with the power cable unplugged.  I did this so as not to endanger my years of work on the third drive, until Windows had setup.  I have in the past, accidentally chosen the wrong partiton to format, so this seemed a good way to avoid it from then on.
    This was not a problem on my old system, but it seems this system doesn't like it.
    I must have left the drive completely unplugged, the times Windows did setup.  Amazing really.  I couldn't see the woods for the trees.
    Anyway, I'm sorry to have bothered everyone with my problem.
    Cheers
    Marcus
    edit :   Sorry Syar2003, I didn't see your reply until I had posted mine.  Many thanks for taking the time to try and help me, it seems as though I may have sorted it now.  I am using IDE drives until I can afford SATA.  But many thanks for the heads-up on the NF4-SATA compliance, I'll be sure to bare that in mind.
    I didn't actually check the NVRAID/IDE ROM version before updating the bios, so I have no idea if the revision was changed when Liveupdate flashed the Bios, I'm afraid.  I didn't know they would be updated at the same time.
    Again, cheers
    Marcus

  • Setting up a few more things 100%

    Im stuck at 100% everytime I update and I have to roll back previous version of windows every single time, how can I stop this from happening again?

    Hi RocketSashimi,
    What is the current situation?
    If the new build still could not be installed, please uninstall any 3rd-party Antivirus software if installed, after that, check if we could install the new build again. A similar thread for reference:
    Stuck at "Setting up a few more things
    100%" when upgrading to build 9860
    Or
    We may consider to do a clean install with the newly Windows 10 9879 ISO, which is download available from the following link:

  • How to add few more columns in UWL screen

    Hi all
    Currently by default we are able to see the columns in UWL header as "Subject", "From", "Sent Date" , "Due Date" , "Status" .
    now i want to add few more columns  apart from standard columns.
    can you please let me know how to add our own columns in UWL header ??  if it is XML changes then pls let me know which xml file exactly we need to change??
    Thanks
    Sunil

    Hi Harini
    actually Standard XML file is not necessary for changing the column names in the UWL .
    we can use otherway as follows.
    go to system admin->UWL administration->click to configure item types and custom views using a wizard then it will take you to another screen -> select the radio button "Customize the look of the UWL main page" click on next then you can select what ever task item you want to change and click on the button respective button at the right end then it will take you to new screen there i added new columns  what ever required and saved also but the same one is not reflecting in UWL....
    can you please check the same in ur machine and let me know if any other things are required to be done and why this not been done our requirement??
    Regards

    Well heres my story. I tried kde4 from extra the last 3 weeks and I like it. I have used xfce for the past 3 years, previous to that gnome. Tried kde but never really liked it. Now I am only using workspace, base, mutimedia and graphics.
    Here is what I like.
    1- Dolphin, awesome I have used thunar a while and it is great but I love splitview, and fish for ssh (which has been around a while I know), and the ability to mount other partitions on my hdd with a click no fstab entry or nothin'.
    2-Pretty, I've used xfce with built in compositor an love the snappiness. But I like desktop grid with kde4 and flipswitch. Compiz-fusion is cool but I prefer not to use I'll take what the DE gives. Plasmoid are cool too.
    3- Gwenview is nice too. Use to use gqview, but thumnails are nice.
    Looking forward to or lacking
    1- Keyboard shortcuts, Yes xbindkeys is there but if I have a DE I want it to do it. They just don't work now.
    2- kde4 has windows specific settings, but I can't set the opacity for particular windows , doesn't work.
    3- Ram of course is much higher in kde4, but maybe I'm getting old I just don't care as much.
