Auto shape properties window doesn´t refresh values

hi,
after installing creative suite 4 on my new pc i have a big problem. the auto shape properties window in fireworks doesn´t refresh the values of my shape. if i select the shape i have to close the panel and open it again to get the right values. if i select on shape and then another one, i have to do the same. this is really annoying.
here a little demonstration: http://gate8.de/jeeeee/2013-03-13_1810.swf
i uninstalled fireworks, deleted preferences folder, updated graphic driver and finally called the support but they "coundn´t" help because the product is too old
i hope you can help.
thx a lot!

Hopefully, you realize you can edit the Auto Shapes directly on the canvas. Hovering over a "yellow diamond" will reveal a tooltip telling what property it adjusts.
It sounds like there's a communication problem between the panel and the canvas/application. The Auto Shape Properties panel is a SWF panel that resides in the application's Configuration/Command Panels folder. Other SWF panels include Align, Path, Symbol Properties, Image Editing, Special Characters, and Color Palette. I wonder if any of these other panels are affected?
It seems like there's been a lot of problems with Flash-based panels conflicting with other apps or plug-ins. Try quitting and restarting the application with no other applications running in the background. Also check out something like this: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3931126

Photoshop CC Live Shapes Properties Window Error

When I create a rounded corners 'live shape' I don't get the correct Properties Window, it seems to show 'Mask' properties instead? So therefore I can't edit the corner readius. Sure I am doing something dumb - I must be missing something really obvious?

You need Photoshop CC to use Live Shape properties. Just remember to use the Path Selection Tool and select the path right on the canvas, not in the layer panel, to see the Live Shape properties again. This re-enables the Live Shape properties.
Here is a short video with more details if you're interested -> http://www.michalkopec.com/blog

Finder window doesn't refresh

Dear all,
When I login into a Windows Server 2003, Mac OS X (and for that matter Mac OS 9) Finder windows do not refresh as fast as we would like them to. It takes me about 10 minutes or more. I have to close out of, or collapse if in List view, the window, and reopen it to force a redraw.
Please help.
Thanks

Extreme rare bug: properties windows doesn't appear - have to kill flash w. task-manager

Right now I had this bug for the first time (after having worked with Flash for about 2 months now):
I double-clicked on a bitmap-item in the library and instead of opening the properties-windows where you can change compression, import and so on, the focus changed to a random explorer window and flash got "locked". Flash probably thought that it actually opened a new sub-window and waited for it being closed, but there was no such window! Seems like the open-procedure failed and the next window to focus on was just an explorer window. Closing this one didn't get the focus back to flash. What a luck, I could still save the file using ctrl-s but couldn't get back to the application. So I had to kill Flash with the task-manager.
Anyone else had this bug? Would be good if Flash checks internally if the window creation succeeded before focusing on it, this is what I suspect has gone wrong - as a programmer.

If you are using CS4, update to 10.0.2 found here: http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
If not or you are not using CS4, you may just need to reinstall.

Window doesn't refresh unless you click to another app (on Mac)

When I scroll, click on a link, or click on another tab to switch to it, FF appears to be frozen and nothing moves/changes/happens on screen. If I then click to another app (e.g. Outlook) and then back on FF, the new content appears instantly. It appears as though the browser is loading the requested information, but does not actually ''draw'' it until I click away and click back.
I already tried deleting and reinstalling.
ETA: This happens every time I use FF, not immediately upon opening. It crops up when I've been using it for a little while (say, a half-hour). It may have to do with having multiple tabs open, but I don't see an exact correspondence between the problem and visiting specific sites or having a certain number of tabs open.

I am unable to click to select with my track pad so I enabled my magic mouse in order to even get into System Preferences to check settings. I understand that they are set up separately. Unfortunately, that didn't help

Modifying Auto Shapes in FW8

Hello,
While researching materials for an upcoming tutorial, I
stumbled upon a problem about Auto Shape Properties and Fireworks
8.
Fireworks CS3 has the option to modify autoshape properties
by numeric input, through the Auto Shape Properties panel. I still
have MX 2004, and it doesn't seem to have this option. The one I'm
not sure about is Fireworks 8 (I skipped that generation).
So my question basically is this: was the Auto Shape
Properties panel introduced in CS3 or in FW8?
I'm also curious if anyone knows a way to modify autoshapes
in MX 2004 by means other than manual dragging of those pointers
(in case I missed something).
Thanks,
SiamJai

None that I'm aware of.

Swing doesn't refresh/repaint properly

Hi,
I'm trying to display a very simple dialog that just about says "Please wait" while I do i/o extensive processing, and can't for the life of me succeed. I tried many things, including Threads, SwingWorker, to no avail. Something seems fishy in that I would expect a window that is setVisible(true) to be completely painted before processing resumes, but in all my cases the window comes up empty while the work gets done.
Is there something special that I should do?
Similarly, sending a somedialog.setVisible(false) before doing some I/O work erases the window but leaves the background erased, i.e. the underlying window doesn't refresh. How can I ensure that any GUI stuff is finished before resuming the processing?
Thanks

Sorry, I just noticed that only half of my code got pasted:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class DialogWait extends JFrame implements ActionListener
     public DialogWait()
          JButton button = new JButton("Start Long Running Task");
          button.addActionListener( this );
          getContentPane().add( button );
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          JDialog dialog = new JDialog(this, "Please Wait Test", true);
          dialog.getContentPane().add( new JLabel("Please wait for 5 seconds...") );
          dialog.pack();
          dialog.setLocationRelativeTo( this );
          Thread longRunningTask = new MyThread( dialog );
          longRunningTask.start();
          dialog.setVisible( true );
          dispose();
     class MyThread extends Thread
          JDialog dialog;
          public MyThread(JDialog dialog)
               this.dialog = dialog;
          public void run()
               long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
               long current = start;
               // Tight loop to hog CPU
               while (current - start < 5000)
                    current = System.currentTimeMillis();
               System.out.println( "Long task finished" );
               dialog.setVisible( false );
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFrame frame = new DialogWait();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.pack();
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible(true);
}Notice my code is in a tight loop which should hog the CPU more than even doing heavy I/O should. Mind you on my computer the CPU only maxes out at 50%. So maybe thats why it works for me.
Yes I tried something very similar, Well, don't try something similiar, try something exactly the same. (ie. does my program work on your machine?) If so, then the way you coded you other examples is wrong and we can't help since you haven't posted simple demo code that doesn't work.

For a crisp border of any color or any size, Just expand the "Canvas" by 0.5 inches or whatever dimension your file needs.

Options missing from Properties window for smart shape

I feel really stupid. I recently updated my Captivate 8 to 8.0.1.242 and now I can't figure out how to change the color of my smart shapes. I don't see the fill or stroke settings. Is there somewhere new I should be looking? Shouldn't they be under the "State" area? All is see is the opacity setting.

Lilybiri
Unfortunately your solution did not work for me. This contribution is more for Adobe than you. This has become a very annoying problem. I cannot get to the Smart Shape properties. Even creating a new smart shape (which I intent to delete) did not active the properties. Sometimes these properties just seem to appear after a few frustrating clicks on the smart shape...but not today!!!!! Is this on the bugs to be fixed ASAP list?

Skype 7.2 doesn't auto-start with Windows

A week or two ago, Skype stopped auto-starting with Windows. At the same time, I started appearing as offline to my contacts and cannot message any of my contacts. I've uninstalled/re-installed Skype but it hasn't fixed my issue. I suspect this coincided with a Windows Update but I can't be 100% sure of that. I've searched thru Event Viewer but don't find any Skype errors. Can anyone offer a suggestion on how I can get Skype working properly again?

Bug: The message list doesn't refresh SOLVED caused by HWA (hardware assist)

I am using the latest Thunderbird from the beta channel, v38. I was seeing this in the stable release channel as well, so I thought I'd try the beta channel to see if it was fixed there, but it was not.
The issue is that the message list doesn't refresh all the time when switching folders. If I an in my Inbox folder, for example, and then select my Junk folder, the message list will not update/refresh, until I drag my mouse over the message list. Then, it will refresh line-by-line as the mouse enters each line.
I am on Windows 7 64-bit, with an i5 processor and 8 GB RAM. Nothing else on my system is running slow. This will happen when Thunderbird is the only app running. I also have a skin applied to my UI. I've tried a few different skins, and this behavior happens with all of them.
A second issue I noticed this morning was that when I received a new email, the entire app seemed to freeze momentarily while the notification for this new email was spawned. As soon as the notification became visible, the app because responsive again. Perhaps a threading issue here.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the quick reply.
"The last issue is probably your anti virus diving in an scanning the new mail as it is added to a very large mail file. Right click the folder and select properties. What is the size on disk?"
Folder properties on my Inbox folder says:
Number of messages: 1038
Size on disk: 90.9 MB
"With regard to your first problem, I am seeing that on the daily built as well, on an intermitent basis, but not on change of folder, only on dragging the mouse over the existing list."
Yes, it is intermittent for me as well. I just recalled that the last time I saw it was when I changed folders. It may not be limited to that situation.

After that we've had to update the class with two new attibutes (String, not required) using the iFS Manager. But now, when i select a document (ArquivoXsl) the properties window in WEBUI does not show that attribute.
is there a bug in the iFS 9.0.1 version.
If i create a new class with all these attributes, the WEBUI show them all, even they've being null valued.
Thanks anyone!

Hi
Even after making the attributes as nav attribute in Master data they ought to be marked as navigation attribute on the infoprovider on which you are creating the report.
If the report is based on the cube that uses company code then you need to check it as navigational att in the cube and incase you have a multiprovider at the top of the cube then you again need to check this attribute as navigational in the multiprovider too.
Thus by making comp_code_zregion as nav att in the master data you will not see it in the report you need to make it as nav in the report as well as multiprovider incase the report is based on multiprovider
Thanks

Firefox process starts but window doesn't open.

All the suddenly when I start Firefox 11 the window doesn't appear but the process will start in task manager. Yesterday morning everything worked well, but when I came home at evening Microsoft Security Essentials wasn't starting it's protection. I got it working by installing it again. Firefox just doesn't open the window for me.
-I have uninstalled Firefox and rebooted system
-Ran CCleaner and Spybot S&D
-Manually reset register values with regedit.
-I have deleted all AppData and plugin files.

You are absolutely right homercles. I should have been more precise with the things I did before I ended up on fresh install.
My point in my last post was that I totally tried to re-install Firefox many times and did all the things other people told me to solve this problem. I even went to cycle throught windows registers manually that is also one thing that you don't want to do if you aren't absolutely sure what you are doing.
My solution was absolutely the last thing you want to do to make things work and takes alot of effort, but as I made my judgement IN MY CASE it was the only thing I could do after week of trying to fix this.
