Adjustments to the Isolation Mode feature in AI CS4

When entering isolation mode, nonselected objects are 'dimmed'. Is it possible to instead make them disappear (temporarily) altogether while in isolation mode?

I usually just hide the items I want out of the way, but you can't do this in isolation mode. I don't think you can customize the appearance of faded items which are outside of the isolation mode. The other thing I used to do before isolation mode was in illustrator, make a new document an the element you want to isolate copy and paste into the new document using Paste In Front (command+F). Then when you're done editing copy and paste in front back into the working document.

Turning off Isolation Mode feature?

Working with the german Version, therefore not sure if its called "Isolation Mode" in the english version too.
Problem is, that working under pressure an aditional klick on an object happens very fast. That always throws me into that useless Isolation Mode. To me this "feature" is of absolute NO use at all and I'd wish I could turn it off. Anybody with a clue to get rid of it?
Manuel

You can also mark jesseham's answer as the correct answer it will be helpful to others
but as both prior posted suggested you might want to keep this on it is extremely helpful and working in groups can
speed up things as well so you really need it then keep in mind you can have groups within groups and this is helpful for isolating
objects deep within a group.
Most important it protects the rest of the group(s) extremely useful.

Why isn't symbol isolation mode aligned to the pixel grid?

So apparently, symbol isolation mode isn't aligned to the (global apparently?) pixel grid, rather the paths are displayed aligned to the origin presumably. The origin is not aligned to an intersection of the grid. Thus it becomes very difficult to create pixel perfect symbols. Paths that are snapped to the pixel grid are then redisplayed offsetting from the origin, causing bleeding in the isolation mode. If the origin is specified as the center that is (presumably it would work fine for a corner), you're going to have a bad time.
Is this fixed in CS6?
Also, has there been a feature added in CS6 to reposition the origin as the center of an object?

Okay I have figured out a workflow that generally resolves all the peculiar behavior with align to pixel and symbols.
Do not align to pixel your paths. Align to pixel your symbols. The symbol origin will be aligned to pixel and there will be no bleeding in isolation mode and you can snap to pixel the symbol itself.
You still have to scale/adjust your snapped to pixel paths as they are expanded on a paste for some unknown reason. This is an issue of another thread but may be useful to complete the workflow.
It still quite an issue though that for absolutely no reason, symbols without align to pixel are displayed as displaced from an arbitrary position of the origin in isolation mode. This is a bug I feel in the implementation.

Will the iPhone 4S feature Panorama mode with iOS 6?

I have an iPhone 4S, and I use the camera very often.
The new Panorama mode in the iPhone 5 and 5th-generation iPod touch really interests me, and I really want to use it on my 4S.
The iPhone 4S does not lack in hardware that's needed for it to work properly, when it has the same chip, and close to the same camera found in the 5th-generation iPod touch.
Will the Panorama mode feature be available for the iPhone 4S with iOS 6?

Yes, you will have Panorama on your iPhone 4S with iOS 6.

Iview Isolation Modes Question

I have some strange situation here. I have a page that contains one embedded iView and 3 isolated url iViews.
When I try to use client side eventing to communicate between two url iViews. Said : URL Iview "1" raiseEvent "A" , and only URL Iview B subscribe to Event "A", but the problem is - somehow the embedded iView react on Event "A" too, although I never subscribe to "Event A".
Thanks for your suggestion on my problem in advance.
Kent

You are totally make sense. My initial design is to let the input field iView to be embedded, and the else of the data display iviews to be url.
I will work around the isolation modes, trying to make every iviews to be url.
Thanks for your great suggestion.
I assigned full points to you.

Concise description of isolation modes

I am finding the documentation for ThinApp on isolation modes is a little confusing and seems a tad incomplete. I wanted to confirm on my understanding of isolation modes and fill in some gaps in my understanding as they relate to packages, the registry, and file folders.
Scope: Am I correct that all of the isolation modes (Full, Merged, and WriteCopy) can all be used in all of these places, and if not, which can be used where?
Package.ini - To set the defaults when not specified on the folder or registry key.
K_KEY.txt files* - For each registry key. Keys not specified default to ??? isolation, does it default to the package.ini setting?
##Attributes.ini files - For each folder inthe sandbox - Default to parent directory settings if not specified. Default to package.ini settings if not specified for top level folder?
Usage: Can you please confirm my understanding of each of the isolation modes and that they are applied the same way for both the registry and folders?
Full: Read and write from the sandbox only, do not access resources outside the virtual bubble for this item.
WriteCopy: Attempt reads from sandbox, but fall-back to the host machine if a key or folder doesn't exist. All writes go to the sandbox only.
Merged: Read from the sandbox if an entry is available, but fall-back to the host machine if a key or folder doesn't exist. No idea on the logic for writes.

Hi JohnFx,
ThinApp virtualization can provide separation of host file system and registry data from the virtualized application using sandbox folders.
The isolation mode setting controls the degree and behavior of separation. Using the wrong isolation mode can cause application or file changes to not be visible to other applications on the host.
Merged
System elements at this location are visible to the application. If a system element and virtual element exist at the same location, the application sees the virtual element.
Modifications to virtual elements go to the sandbox.
Modifications to system elements go to the system.
New elements are created on the system.
WriteCopy
System elements at this location are visible to the application. If a system element and virtual element exist at the same location, the application sees the virtual element.
Modifications to virtual elements go to the sandbox.
Modifications to system elements go to the sandbox.
New elements are created in the sandbox.
Full
System elements at this location are not visible to the application.
Modifications to virtual elements go to the sandbox.
System elements cannot be read or modified.
New elements are created in the sandbox.
To change the isolation mode for a specific folder, edit the ##Attibutes.ini file in your package to set the mode for that folder, otherwise the setting in package.ini is used as the default for all the objects in the package. Edit the corresponding HKEY_XXXXXX.txt file to change the isolation mode for a registry branch. More details on these files are available in the VMware ThinApp User's Manual, version 4.0.1.
Note: ThinApp caches the isolation modes at runtime in the sandbox location. If the isolation mode is modified for your project and the executable file is rebuilt, it might be necessary to delete the sandbox for the changes to take effect.
DirectoryIsolationMode - Sets the isolation mode to Merged, WriteCopy, or Full.
ThinApp caches the isolation modes for the registry and the file system at runtime in the sandbox. If you change the isolation mode for the project and rebuild the executable file, you might need to delete the sandbox for the change to take effect.
Modifying Settings in the ##Attributes.ini File
The ##Attributes.ini file applies settings at the directory level while the Package.ini file applies settings at the overall application level.
For example, you can set the isolation mode at the directory or application level to determine which files and registry keys are visible and written by the virtual application you create. The granular setting in the ##Attributes.ini file overrides the overall Package.ini setting. The Package.ini setting determines the isolation mode only when ThinApp does not have ##Attributes.ini information.
If you need to compress only certain folders with large files rather than an entire application, you can compress files at the folder level with the CompressionType parameter in the ##Attributes.ini file.
The ##Attributes.ini file appears in most folders for the captured application. For example, the Attributes.ini file might be located in C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware ThinApp\Captures\Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.3\%AppData%\##Attributes.ini. Use Notepad or another text editor to update the file.
Edit the ##Attributes.ini File
Use Notepad or another text editor to update the ##Attributes.ini file.
To edit the ##Attributes.ini file
1. In the ##Attibutes.ini, uncomment, update, or delete the parameter.
2. Double click the build.bat file in the captured application folder to rebuild the application package.
3. Double click the build.bat file in the captured application folder to rebuild the application package.

PS CC Isolation mode incredibly annoying.

Please remove the isolation mode in PS CC. Or make it possible to disable it. Or at the very least make a shortcut to toggle it or leave it. This is confusing, slow, and horribly ineffective. Who thought this was a good idea has some weird ideas about interface design. This just slows my workflow to a crawl.
Thank you.

It's a bug that was introduced with some changes we made under the hood. We opted to spend our time fixing the functional bugs that were also introduced, and this one didn't make the cut for this release since it's cosmetic and able to be turned off with a setting. It's in our bug database, though, so at least it's on our radar.
As for full keyboard access, the info about it not being hooked up in Photoshop was passed along to me by a developer. Using the TIFF Options dialog as an example, I am not seeing any difference in tabbing behavior no matter which option I use for the Full Keyboard Access setting. There might be some other setting we have set differently. Do you have any other keyboard settings set to non-defaults?

Word Count feature slow in CS4

The word cound feature in InDesign CS4 is sometimes very slow compared to what it was in CS2. I'm not even counting vast quantities of text, often a story of 1000 or so words will pause for an infernally long time before displaying results.
Has anyone figured out a fix or workaround for this? I typically need to count stories or selections in a hurry.

If you roll-over the right side of that character count display, a menu will appear, on which also appears the word count. Click on the word count entry, and it becomes the default display at the bottom of the page. Also, by holding down the command key, you can click and drag that floating box to your preferred display location.

I use lightroom with the soft proofing feature for my printing. I used to make a copy proof, but all of the sudden something changed, and even if I'm on the copy in the developing mode it prints the original. Also, If i chose a file that was already in light room to print, even though I have the chosen file up in the developing mode, it will instead print the most recent file that I added to lightroom. If found a way to work around these problems, (check make this the copy in the soft proofing, and copy my settings and delete and reload the old files) but it's a slight hassle and it didn't use to do this. Not sure why it changed. Could I have accidentally changed a setting?

Changing the layer colour in Isolation Mode

How do I change the layer colour once I'm in Isolation Mode? I'm using CS4 and tring to edit a yellow object but Illustrator has made the layer/paths/edges yellow making it VERY difficult to see what I'm doing?
...actually, I just changed the objects layer to a differrent colour which seems to have made Illustator select the next colour down when in Isolation made.
Is this my only option?

I decided to test this more thoroughly.
Elements edited in Isolation Mode do actually inherit the color of the parent layer.
But there seems to be an exception: symbols. No matter what color the layer is, symbols edited in Isolation Mode get their own color. And that color is persistent across all symbols, regardless of the layer that they appear on.
However, that color is not consistent throughout the lifespan of the document. The color changes according to a pattern.
And the pattern is this: there is a sequential list of layer colors in AI, and a correlation between the number of layers in your document and the sequential number of the colors in the Layer Options color list. Symbols always use the color that is next in the list of layer colors, following the pre-assigned color of the most recently-created layer.
Test this out if you want:
Create a new document. Note that the default layer always uses the "light blue" layer color.
Now create a second layer in that document. It will be red.
The third layer will be green, and the fourth will be blue.
Now make a symbol and edit it in Isolation Mode. It's yellow.
Now look at the sequence of colors in the layer color dropdown menu: "yellow" is fifth in the list, after "blue," the fourth color in the list. It seems like AI is creating a new temporary layer for editing symbols, and like other layers, it is automatically assigned a color.
So basically, symbols edited in Isolation Mode will only be yellow if you have four layers. The way that AI assigns colors to symbols being edited in Isolation Mode seems to depend on the number of layers in the document.
If you followed the steps above, you can test this out by creating a fifth layer. Notice that it automatically gets assigned a layer color of yellow. Edited symbols will be magenta... the sixth color in the list.
It doesn't matter if you change the colors of each layer after creating them; as far as I can tell, if you have four layers, symbols edited in Isolation Mode will always be yellow.
The workaround would be to add a fifth layer to your document. Symbols in Isolation Mode will then show up in magenta, which is much easier to see on a white background.

Disabling Isolation Mode in CS3

Is this possible? I skipped over CS2 (I guess this "feature" was introduced in CS2?) only to discover that Illustrator CS3 goes 31 flavors of wacky whenever I try to update text objects using the group select (filled arrow) pointer...
I guess it's not that big of a deal when you only have a couple of text objects to update, but when you are trying to update a whole bunch of them, it turns into a nightmare of clicking and swearing. It appears I now have to switch tools each and every time and then click on something else each time it enters (what I've come to think of as) DEMON Mode. The screen goes all gray and there's no escape!!!
It worked perfectly fine before, why did they do this??? Is there any way to disable it?
I know you can still update text without entering this crazy isolation mode with the text edit tool, it's just such PITA 'cause you have to zoom way in or Illustrator misses the text you're aiming at and starts a new text object. It wasn't broke...why did they "fix" it?
Is there no escape from Demon Mode?
