Adjustment Panel Auto Hide Configuration

Hi,
in Lightroom 3, it is very easy to accidentally hide the adjustment panels when trying to scroll them up or down.
This happens when one attempts to click on the adjustment panel slider but instead accidentally hits the area immediately to its right, referred to as "Adjustment Panel Auto Hide Area" in the following discussion. This area shows a little arrow and is used to hide and show the adjustment panels.
Usability improvement suggestions:
1) Allow the user to disable the auto-hide feature of the adjustment panel via Edit / Preferences... / Interface / Adjustment Panel.
2) Dito, but configuration of the auto-hide feature via a new entry in the context-sensitive menu of the Adjustment Panel Auto Hide Area. The menu could offer a new checkbox "Auto Hide Toggle". If enabled, the current default behaviour is active and a left click in the Adjustment Panel Auto Hide Area shows or hides the Adjustment Panel. If disabled, a left click has no effect.
In my workflow, I use two screens. One screen shows the image in full size, the other one shows the various adjustment panels which I never switch off. I just scroll them up or down. Being able to toggle the current default behaviour would make the product more usable to me.
Thanks
Christian

That is great!! I have done every steps of the tutorial but I have a problem:
When I hide the playbar, the animation is paused and when the mouse is over the playbar , the animation continue.
What do you think about it?

How To Auto Hide the Icon Panels in Photoshop CS6?

I did go to the preferences and changed the icon panel to hide but it does not work... I also did what is suggested and exited the program to activate any changes and it still does not work. I've seen folks who produce tuts with this feature so I know its possible.
Thanks....

So you saying if you have the preference Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels checked and have a panel expanded from the collasped panels that
clicking somewhere in the document area doesn't collaspe the panel back to an icon?

Auto Levels in Adjust Panel

Has anyone noticed that the Ajust Panel in iWeb has an 'Auto Levels' button at the bottom, but the same Adjust Panel in iPhoto 06 does not?
I normally run all my photos through Photoshop, just to use the auto -levels, -color and -contrast tools (I'm slightly color blind, so PS helps me at least be consistent!). This Auto Levels button would be a great thing to see in iPhoto's Adjust Panel, especially considering that iPhoto is the image app in the Suite, not iWeb.

Auto Hide Panels when in survey/compare /loupe modes

As the topic states.
I may have a couple of panels open for basic file work (folder nav, keywords etc) When I get into culling images I like to have as much space as possible.
I would like the option for all panels to auto hide when I enter one of the mentioned modes. And then have them reopen (if I had them open) when I go back to grid view...

Thanks Jeff. I am aware of those options. But for times sake I want to have the option to do it automatically. I have both my hands occupied, 1 on the mouse and it's 3 custom keys and the other on a Shuttle Express puck with my most used key strokes assigned to it. So going up to the keyboard to do this removes some of the fluidity. Also when tabbing the panels open and closed does it not open/close ALL 4 panels? I just want it to toggle what I have open which is normally Left panel and Film strip.
May be I am just being too lazy :)
Thanks again Jeff.

Auto-hide

Dear Community. I am playing a "window-mode" game in which takes up the full resolution for my screen. In order to compensate for the room needed at the bottom of the screen I have chosen to "auto-hide" the task bar. I have chosen to stay in window mode because I would like to be able to travel around while playing this turn-based game. So then, I choose to work on other workspaces. My question is, can I have auto-hide turned off on say workspace2 while on, on workspace1?

What window manager are you using?
Auto-hiding some panel sounds like gnome.
If so you will not be able to adjust auto-hiding in different ways for different panels since gnome only distinguishs between lets say one panel on the bottom and one on the top edge of the screen (at least as far as I know).

In Develop mode not all of the adjustment panels are showing. The basic panel is not evident.

Right click near to one of the other options e.g tone curve and a popup list will provid you with the option to display or hide the options. see image capture.

A How to turn off auto hide tools/panles

So Flash 9 has a new feature that is annoying me : it likes
to auto hide the tools/panels.
apparently Flash is turning this feature on at at random. I
realize that I must be accidentally hitting some hot key that turns
it on, but I can't find how to stop it. It's rather annoying.
How do I disable the auto-hide for the tools and panels?

Just go to settings, view, toolbars autohide.

Adjustment panel and the Targeted Adjustment Tool

I have assigned the F3 key to toggle the display of the Adjustments panel. However, whenever I have an adjustment that includes the Targeted Adjustment Tool (such as curves) the F3 key activates the TAT rather than dismissing the Adjustment panel. I have to move to a non-TAT adjustment to allow F3 to dismiss the Adjustment panel. In fact, any Fn key will activate the TAT rather than it's assigned keyboard action. Is this normal behaviour? If so, it's most annoying.

No one else seeing this problem? It does not happen in CS4.
I'm guessing the "bug" appeared after I had set the Auto-Select Targeted Adjustment Tool. I have since removed the Auto-Select feature but now any Fn key will select the TAT rather than dismiss the Adjustment panel. You have to move to an adjustment without a TAT for the Fn key to dismiss the Adjustment panel. Definitely a workflow annoyance.

Auto-hide playbar

Hi,
Is there a way to autohide the playbar in the published files? I would like the playbar to appear only when the mouse is over the area where the playbar should be, something similar to 'auto-hide the taskbar' on the desktop.

Some confusion with Vish, he did not see I was answering and also preparing a blog post. Here is the work flow in short, will post the link to the blog post where I will have an example and screenshots, when it is published.
First, grab a copy of Chris Dorna's widget to hide the close button on the slidelet, it is free:
HideSlideletClosebox
Configure the playbar and the borders so that the playbar is in overlay mode (will be on top of the slide instead of below the slide) and that no borders are showing.
for the first slide, on Enter Side attach the action Assign cpCmndShowPlaybar with 0 to hide the playbar
insert two rollover slidelets: make sure that the stroke is set to 0 and that the color is set to the color of the background or configure its style in the Object style manage so that no border, nor runtime border is shown
size the first rollover slidelet to approximate the size of the playbar, the second you put little bit higher and attach the rollover actions to change the variable to 1 for the first, to 0 for the second
insert Chris' widget and configure it to hide the close button for both slidelets
You have to repeat the last 3 actions for all the slides, easy with copy/paste but you'll have to edit the HideSlideletClosebox properties to adapt to the new ID of the slidelets.

Auto hide taskbar

I'm using windows 8.1 and I.E. 11. My taskbar won't "auto-hide" help

most common causes are programs that need your attention or that update the taskbar icons too frequently.
For testing purposes, make sure you don't have programs open. Check if windows action center (the little flag) has open messages, click open actions and resolve possible related issues. Also check if any third pary icons are displayed in the clock
area. If so, these might be the cause too. Close the related software, or configure it to not display notifications or status on the taskbar.

Full screen auto-hide feature does not work with Adobe Acrobat Reader add-on 11.0.0.379 in Firefox 17.01.

"Full screen" menu item and its keyboard short cut F11 stop working with Acrobat Reader. The Firefox top edge border does not hide once you have moved around in the Acrobat document. Therefore it is not possible to display PDF documents in a true full screen mode within Firefox. The auto-hide full screen mode works nicely with other Firefox windows, so apparently the Acrobat Reader add-on breaks the feature. Windows 7 64-bit.

From the JS API Reference of the print method:
Non-interactive printing can only be executed during batch, console, and menu
events.
Outside of batch, console, and menu events, the values of bUI and of interactive are ignored
and a print dialog box will always be presented.

SAP Signature Design & Task Bar Auto-Hide Feature

Hi Experts,
I'm having a problem with SAP Business One 8.8 PL18 using the new 8.8 SAP Signature Design. We are in a business with 4 professionals and 1 CRM. When we use the SAP Signature Design Skin Style and you have SBO maximized on the screen and you have Windows auto-hide the Task bar. You can't go back to the task bar with your mouse to switch applications or to just go to your start menu. The only way you can make the task bar appear is by pressing the "window key" to make the task bar display. To change applications, you can still use the "Alt Tab feature". If I put the Skin Style to Classic Mode, everything works great with no apparent display problems.
I've tried this on 3 different operating systems. Windows 7, Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server and the same results. The task bar won't re-pop up if you move your mouse down to it (I tried moving the task bar to the left, top or right to see if that made a difference, and it didn't). I've been using the "Window Key" for now to make the task bar pop up (display), but I think it's a bug with the skin style and not the operating system.
I've tried to get this resolved with our partner, but I don't think they understand the problem, or are just not willing to acknowledge the problem. They probably think it is a petty problem. We all like the new design and would like to use it properly while still having the task bar auto-hide.
The question actually is, do you know of this problem, is there something I can disable or do to get it to work (ie: make it run with compatibility mode to something) or do I just have to live with this problem?
I thank you very much in trying or helping me with this problem

Hi Ron,
Welcome you post on the forum.
I don't have the same version to test. Based on your detailed explanation, I do think it is probably a bug. Since it may not be used by many users, it could have low priority to be fixed even if it is confirmed to be a bug.
Thanks,

ITunes 10.5.0.142 prevents 'auto-hide' task bar reappearing on scroll-over at page bottom when ITunes home page is up. Task bar appears and hides fine on other windows. OS: Win 7.

In Windows 7 my latest ITunes version won't let the 'autohide' feature work for my task bar. I have mine set at the bottom of all pages, and they all work when the Itunes page is up. But not the ITunes home page itself. The task bar is gone, and won't appear on scroll-over.
Look, I'm not going to kill myself over it. I just have to minimize the IT page to get to another task bar.
But I like my auto-hide and won't disable it, and I like what's been done with the new version of IT and - of course - won't get rid of that. I just want them to live together happily ever after.
Thank You in Advance for Your Time;
Curt

Dock not showing in auto hide

Hi,
My dock is set to auto-hide, and I am using spaces. however my dock does not always show when in put my cursor at the bottom, I have to swap to and from another space to get the dock to show or unhide.
My hot corners are also not working.
any suggestions, spaces bug?
Thanks

could be a bad preference file.
move the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist to the desktop. then restart dock by entering the following in terminal
killall Dock
this will reset your dock to the default and might fix the problem.

I've lost my adjust panel, how do I get it back?

I seem to have lost the "adjust panel" for editing photo's in IPhoto 5.0.4. I've tried to edit from both the library and in albums. This seems to have happened after a recent upgrade to 10.4.3 and shortly thereafter a memory upgrade from 512MB's to 1. GB and a warranty replacement of my super drive. Any ideas?

Hi Mel,
It MIGHT be that you need to make your window larger so you can see it in the toolbar...or...look under the >> and see if it is there.
