Active plugin window trouble in Logic

Logic 8 behaves kind of strange...I use the " numbers over the letters" to recall screensets like everybody else and the numerical keys (to the left of the keyboard) to forward and rewind in the arrangement. In some strange way when i have an open plugin window active the numerical keys will recall my screensets instead of moving songposition. Extremely frustrating when you are tuning in AutoTune graphical mode and want to rewind 1 bar, what happens... a new screenset and the autotune window is gone.
Why O Why?

There are some plug-ins that I've seen this with, but not many. Even authorizing some plug-ins will loose their window 'focus' to Logic, making plugs hard to install when typing in codes.
You could also try re-assigning affected key commands using learn by key position (non-ASCII code) rather than learn by key label (ASCII code) which might help, but as I'm not in front of Logic right now, I don't recall which are unchangeable default commands and which aren't, as I've never changed the standard screenset assignments.

Moving plugin windows around causes spinning beach ball.. 8.0.2 near???

last q. for now...how come when moving plugin windows around in logic it can sometimes cause the dreaded spinning beach ball?? you think logic is going to crash but it doesn't, it recovers and then runs real sluggish... logic or leopard bug??? i can't wait for 10.5.2 to see what it magically fixes in logic!! any hope that we might have 8.0.2 in the near future...there are all these other updates floating down from cupertino but yet logic seems neglected...

Thanks Pancenter... appreciate your input. Really useful information. When I bought my Mac Pro, there was an issue with the video cards; if you wanted to run 2 x 30" ACD's, then you had to up the spec to a more powerful card. The guy in the mac shop assured me the GeForce 7300 GT that came with the machine would be sweet enough for 2 x 23's... and it was. But that was with Tiger. (?)
Is Leopard &/or LP8 graphically more demanding than Tiger &/or LP7... I wouldn't have a clue? Does anyone have an opinion on this? (I'd be REALLY interested!) Are the cards shipping with these machines really up to the job of running the OS AND something as complicated as LP8? My opinion is; They SHOULD be.
Thanks Zuelito... I had noticed this thread & was surprised/dismayed that even 8 CORE machines were having this problem too! But then, if it's a problem with underpowered graphics cards, I don't suppose it matters how many cores you've got... does it??? Thanks for your post... again, really USEFUL information. I appreciate it! (GREAT thread.)
I only get this problem when I open anything UAD; it runs happily in the background but out comes "the ball" whenever I open & move more than 1 instance of a UAD plug. Haven't once had it happen with Logic or 3rd party AU's.
Thanks again for your input... keep it comin'!
Cheers...

Best service ENGINE plugin window blocks input in Logic 9

I'am using Logic Pro 9 (up-to-date version) on my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.8.2) with best service ENGINE sample player as AU plugin. Software is running all in 64 bit mode.
I experience a blocked user interface every time I open the ENGINE plugin window in Logic. If I keep clicking the close button very hard it happens after some time that the plugin window ist getting closed again. ENGINE behaves like ignoring all clicks if open in Logic, "saving" them for later execution. It totally blocks all input. If you managed to get the window closed Logic is running again without troubles. While not accepting my inputs the ENGINE sample player plays sounds normally.
The ENGINE software works well in standalone mode if not called as AU Plugin in Logic. All others AU plugins also work without problems. I'm also using Automap from Novation. But the AU plugin version of ENGINE without Automap support doesnt work too.
Any idea regarding this issue? Many thanks in advance!

Actually it is.... It's down to a part of OS X/CoreAudio/Prokit/Core Apps that either hasn't updated correctly or is missing an update that should have been performed a while ago... or has installed something that is in conflict with something else.. This is why it only affects a group of people rather than everyone... irrespective of their OS version... as it has been reported as occuring in SL, Lion and ML... though the vast majority of users have noted this only happening in Lion or ML...
For example, I have never been able to reproduce this issue on any of my systems here... ranging from SL to ML... but I have seen it occur on an identical Mac/OS X/Logic Version to one I own.. Once I cloned my computer and installed the clone on my client's identical iMac, the issue vanished for him... Reinstalled OS X and Logic from scratch on his iMac and the issue returned... so there is something that has been installed,updated correctly or not installed for that matter...on my computer that either prevents or fixes the issue.
In the meantime we are awaitng a fix from Apple... to fully cure this issue for all OS X users... one and for all hopefully!

Spaces and plugin windows

Is it possible to get plugin windows to sit in a different "space" on Leopard?
I'm using Logic on a macbook and it would be nice if I could keep open plugin windows in a different space to the arrange.

No, it isn't possible, alas. They will appear in every space in which Logic is active, though you don't see that in the Spaces overview window.
Tip: V is the shortcut to toggle plugin windows. Very responsive command.

TDM Plugin Windows Stealing Focus

Anyone else seeing this?
...TDM plugin windows don't seem to behave like floating windows anymore... for example, they can 'steal' the focus away from the Arrange window and thereby disable key commands; even basic transport commands. I'm constantly having to click the Arrange window and make it active before I can stop playback or rewind etc. Native Plugins aren't doing this.

Is there a trick to get the pro-tools HD interface to work in conjunction with logic? For example, can I get an audio track to use the logic plug ins? so far, they just use the TDM plug ins.

How can i create a filechooser button inside the plugin window?

Hi
i'd like to create a filechooser button to load/save but inside the plugin window. Is it possible ? if yes how can i do that ?
and i need the algorithm to be Mac/Windows compatible if possible
thanks a lot
*best regards*
Jeff

If by the "plugin window" you mean the dialog an automation or a filter plugin from the SDK sample code opens for you, you have to write platform-specific code using either Cocoa on Mac or regular WinAPI on Windows (e.g. by hooking GetOpenFileName()/GetSaveFileName() functions to a button you will add to the resource file or create dynamically). Take a look at any plugin that has a GUI (e.g. the Dissolve plugin) and you'll see that the GUI code is entirely platform-specific as there is no platform-independed GUI framework bundled with Photoshop anymore.
Another option is to use some third-party cross-platform library such as Qt, but if you just need a couple of buttons and file selection dialogs it's probably not worth the trouble,.

Windows 8.1: Error in the presentation of the Authorware-plugin window, clipping

Hi all,
there is a new bug in Windows 8.1, the AW-content is not centered relative to the size of the plugin window (which is set in the HTML-Object-tag), but relative to the resolution of the screen!!
Therefore, only a part of the content is visible when the plugin-windows is smaller than the screensize (and this is usually the case). The effect of the false centering is visible after activating the full screen mode (F11).
This is only in Firefox 25, IE11, but not in Google Chrome! In Windows 8.0 all was OK.
Look here
Thanks
Manfred

Hi moodsman,
>We are currently in the slow and painful process of converting our aw packages into HTML5
Same here! We have hundreds of modules that have to be converted.
>It would be really great if we could make this available to our users. Would that be acceptable to you?
Yes, you can use the installer, although I do not know what the legal situation is.
But I don't think that Adobe has something about it, because the binaries (exe, dll, x32) have not been modified in any way.
And put it on your own server please.
Here some technical details:
1. The plugin-files (awswax.ocx and np32asw.dll) are installed in: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\AUTHORWA
2. The plugin runtime is installed in: C:\Users\All Users\Macromedia\AWP
3. Seven registry entries are set (point to and describe the plugin files and runtime).
     5 keys in SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/AuthorwarePlayer
     2 keys in SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Authorware\WebPlayer
4. Content of the awshkwv.ini:
    # Security settings:
    VERSION 2
    Security = TrustOnlyListed
    WarnNonTrusted = ON
    WarnTrusted = OFF
    TrustedSite = http://download.macromedia.com/
5. The installation requires administrator rights.

Goldengate from physical standby with Active data guard or from logical standby - which is better?

Hi,
We have Oracle 11.2.0.4 and are currently using Active Data Guard on a physical standby. My boss wants me to use Goldengate
to replicate several schema from Oracle to SqlSserver. She doesn't want to touch the Primary, which is in production. Would it be better
to setup a Logical standby for Goldendate to use, in addition to the Physical standby? Or will it be sufficient to use the Physical standby?
The application tables don't all have primary keys. I'm trying to decide if the Logical standby adds another layer of complexity or would
introduce delays in getting the data from Oracle to Sqlserver.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
In this case I recommend you to use physical standby + Golden gate with ALO mode. You might have sligthly more trouble in logical standby. it means you might have more trouble at Goldengate's extract side.
You said
The application tables don't all have primary keys.
so you have to add keycols on replicat side.
I recommend you to add an index which should consist of keycols columns. it will be necessary for replicat performance.
Best Regards

Disabling Active call window...cupc 8.6

Question from one of my users...is there a way to disable the active calls window when the user is on the phone?
I just got an earful about how annoying this is...
Thanks in advance for any advice...
~Ray

Not without disabling deskphone/softphone control and turning CUPC into an IM&P-only client. If you wanted to go that route you would want to disable the CTI, CCMCIP, and Audio profiles within the CUP Admin > CUPC/Jabber > User settings.

Closing active terminal window with applescript

I made a very basic script to lock my screen, and I like how it works. Some of my co-workers would also like it but it has one problem.
When the script runs, a terminal box pops up at the end saying [process complete]. I can click through this and I don't care, they do.
I can't just killall terminal because we use terminal and that could kill our work.
We sometimes need to see output from a script and like the process complete, so don't want to reconfigure our systems to never display it.
I'm trying to find a way to use applescript or something to kill the active terminal window, or the window with the title of LockScreen or something.
Anyone have an idea?
I was hoping something like this would exist but it doesn't seem to: tell application "Terminal" to close window

Here is an easy approach. Start Applications -> Automator
Select Application
In Automator search for "Start Screen Saver". This should be under Library->Utilities
Drag "Start Screen Saver" to the right side panel.
Save the Automator app.
If the user has System Preferencs -> Security -> Require Password ... set, then one the screen saver has started running, it will require the user to enter their password before getting control back.
This Automator app can be double clicked, it will not require the terminal.
With respect to your script. If this is a shell script, AND if you wish to continue using it, then you could create an Automator app that uses "Run Shell Script" under Automator Library->Utilities. This will also NOT require the use of Terminal, however, be aware that when Automator runs a shell script it DOES NOT have the same environment as when you are running a shell script at your Terminal prompt. There are very few environment variables set, and for example the USER, HOME, current working directory, PATH, etc... may not be the same. If you have dependencies on specific environment information, you may want to write a simple automator script the using "Run Shell Script" to output various environment information into a file so you can see what you have to work with
(id -a
pwd
echo "$#"
echo "$@"
printenv
) >/tmp/automator.environment.txt

Activation from Windows 8 Pro to Windows 8.1 Pro

I generally use Windows 7 Home Premium in my Acer 4738Z and my old Acer is broken.
so I buy a new Acer E1-410 (and bla-bla in a nutshell) my new Acer E1-410 can't use Windows 7 it must uses
UEFI system (in my previous post http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/0da6bd1f-ee2c-45c1-91cf-1f1d9d0595f5/how-to-install-windows-7-home-premium-32bit-with-no-legacy-option-in-bios-setting-just-uefi-in?forum=w7itproinstall#cb3f8d18-3d61-41de-8ba3-9eaef87f5849)
So I WRONG ? To buy Windows 8 Pro Upgradeable Only (and before you announce Windows 8.1 Pro)
But FINALLY I can install my new Acer E1-410 in Windows 7 Home Premium (with flash bios to active thier Legacy IDE Boot) and UPGRADE to Windows 8 Pro. (FINISH).
I already ask Microsoft Indonesia by phone to check my product key on windows 8 Pro genuine they said yes it's "only upgradeable" and YES it is genuine.
and finally these my problem:
They said to I CAN FREELY Upgrade to Windows 8.1 by Microsoft Store
so I wanted to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro to why not ?? You give me free :) ,...
But without any knowledge how to that (My Windows Store doesn't have store icon
to Upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro).
So I google2xxxx how to UPGRADE to Windows 8.1 Pro
finally I desperate and I download Windows 8.1 Pro ISO (maybe/must be pirate one) from torrent
and fresh/clean install to Windows 8.1 Pro (WITHOUT UPGRADE form Windows 7.1 -> Windows 8 Pro)
OFCOURSE !!! I KNOW IT CAN'T BE ACTIVATE with my older Windows 8 Pro Product Key
So i ask you :
1. What are the disadvantages if I NOT activated my Windows 8.1 Pro ?
2. It's true i can uses all application (on desktop) without any disadvantages ?

Hi,
There are many limitations when the windows is not activated, for example, personalization settings section is disabled as below:
The disabled settings include:
•Your lock screen wallpaper and apps
•Start Screen color and background
•Your account picture
You need to activate Windows before you can personalize your PC and every couple of hours, you'll see a full-screen activation request:
The application is available to use, but I suggest to run the genuine Windows and activate it, because it is legally protected.

Photoshop tif won't open in Photoshop; launches Camera Raw plugin window

We recently upgraded from Creative Suite 1 to Creative Suite 3 (with Mac OS 10.5.4). I am trying to open a tif file that was saved out of Photoshop CS1, and it keeps launching the Camera Raw plugin window instead. I've tried saving as an EPS, then opening the EPS and re-saving as a tif. Doesn't help. I don't want to process this tif through Camera Raw each time it's opened!
Other images from the same photoshoot and saved in the same manner are fine (the tifs open in Photoshop as they should).
Is this a feature or a bug?
Thank you

So why is it happening with only 1 out of 8 tifs from a single campaign that were all treated in the same manner (digital shots that were opened through Camera Raw plugin, manipulated in Photoshop and a layered PSD file saved, then flattened tif files generated)? The other 7 flattened tifs open directly into Photoshop without launching Camera Raw plugin.
And I can't find a preference that affects it. If it is "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for supported raw files", I have it unchecked.
Any other suggestions?

How can I get the windowRef of the active document window?

Hello,
Hou could I get the ADMWindowRef of the active Document window in Illustrator CS4- CS5? I can not use ADMWindowSuite1 because is On Mac OS only.
Thank you very much to Everybody.

There's no API for this, not if you want to make use of it in a useful way. You have to write Windows API code to do it. I reccommend using Spy++ to suss out the structure. Frankly, it's pretty annoying. It'd be extremely helpful if the API provided this, but it doesn't.

How do I find the home page to update plugins? Google Update, Google Earth Plugin, Windows Live Photo Gallery. I have been to the Google plugins page and found nothing. Thank you. .

I am using Window 7 and Firefox 5.0.1

Google Update, Google Earth Plugin, Windows Live Photo Gallery Plugin all show up as unkown plugins in the Plugin check. Windows Live Photo Gallery is part of Windows Live Essentials.
I searched the Microsoft Web-site in general and specifically Windows Live Photo Gallery and could any version numbers. My current version of Windows Live Photo Gallery Plugin is shown as 15.4.3508.1109 last updated Novmber 10, 2010. I did an internet search and this appears to be the version number for Window Live Essentials 2011. Filecluster.com lists the latest version of Windows Live Photo Gallery as 15.4.3538.0513 updated on Jul 07, 2011. I can find no versions or dates for the plugin.
Thanks.
