Backup in PSE8 stores a .xml file not a .PSD file. WHY?

I have thousands of files and am new to PSE8. I have used PSE4, etc for a long time. Everything in my PSE4 catalogs moved to PSE8 just fine. (Using XP). HOWEVER when I now backup my catalogs to an external HDD and then examine the catalog all the files are *.xml files. Those *.xml files look like some kind of programming language. What has happened? In order to get a FULL USABLE backup of my pics do I have to copy them all to an external Hard drive so that I could carry them to another computer with PSE8.

Thanks for the elucidation.

When is a .psd file NOT a .psd file?

As a result of leaning how to make a mask, I discovered that I could also paste directly from the net into an AI page. It's the "saving" that costs the question.
My reviewer, who checks out my design ads and brochures does not like .psd's to be "Placed" in my Ai files althought the printer couldn't care less. So, I tried to outfox that by copy'paste from the .psd file into AI, and then saving that as AI. Fine. It's an AI file, but in the LINKS, it's still called a .psd even though it was not "placed".
If I printscreened something, like a portrait of Handel into PS, and then moved it to AI and changed it from black to green tones as a .ai file, Links now calls it "unknown source." I give up. I've done some complete changes, like making a ps image a different color by outline and fills in Ai, and only then will it be an .ai file---ha, sometimes! I've tried that with other images made in PS to AI and it was still called a .psd.
Now, I thought CS4 was supposed to be more user friendly to raster images.....so why isn't it?
You know, it's difficult tryping to please 2 different people...........................m
p.s. Why is it so difficult to get a curser into a paragraph and be easily moved with a mouse? Just curious....

Pardon the long absence----been sick.....
Your're right Scott. Perhaps I'm trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I really thought the extension was the important change, but I see it's just a "wrapper" as you suggest.
I didn't know about, or had long forgotten, the right/click/ embedded aspect---I don't think I ever did that. I would just send the Links info burned into the disc the printer would get. If I did this, would my dear reviewer be able to see the images instead of little empty boxes she complains about? I'd gladly try that to please her.
Then, for the printer, (please pardon the ignorance) the file burned would already contain the embedded files or should I still burn them as a separate part of the file? Appreciate the help.

I bought an iTunes Royalty free song to play behind a presentation. What I have seem to have is video file not an audio file. Am I missing a step?I want to download iTunes purchases as a .wavfile of other audio file. Any help would be appreciated.

I understand the confusion. Those tracks are royalty free to the owner of the tracks, yes. The terms of use of the iTunes Store still state, though, that all purchases are for your own personal use and cannot be used commercially:
USAGE RULES
1. You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use.
They're probably fine for presentations in a class or to a group at your company, but you probably could not post the presentation or a video using these tracks on a public site. I'm no lawyer, though, to legally define what would and would not constitute "noncommercial". It's probably best to just buy your tracks directly from one of these sites of royalty-free music. Then the use license should be completely clear.

How to save the contents of a file(not a text file)

Hi all, I want to save the contents of a file(,png file, not a text file) as a field in a class. Shall I have it as a string or byte array or something?
I have tried saving a file in a string but there were some problems with loading the file from a different platform. Following is my code.
        String string;
        try {
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(1024);
            char[] characterArray = new char[1024];
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            while(br.read(characterArray) != -1){
                sb.append(String.valueOf(characterArray));
            br.close();
            string= sb.toString();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }and I use the following code to recover the string back to a stream, and save that stream back to a time later.
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(map.getBytes());I realized that because this file is not a text file, the string could cause some problems. But anyone could tell me if I should use a byte array or someting? and how?
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jing

You should use a byte array, and the binary streams (InputStream a& OutputStream). Never use Strings and Reader/Writer if you have binary data.

I can't drag a png file onto a psd file in PSE 10 editor

After using PSE 3 for years, I have recently installed PSE 10 and have begun using it primarily for making digital scrapbooks. With PSE 10, for some reason I cannot drag a png file onto a psd file. I probably have missed some setting somewhere but can't figure it out. Help, please!

It is transparent. However, it seems the problem is fixed. I am able to
drag the top layer of the psd file onto the png file instead of the opposite
which is what I was trying to do. The top layer of the psd file was
originally a jpg photo so maybe that has something to do with it. In my
previous version of PSE I worked with PNG and PSD files all the time and
don't remember having this problem. Thanks so much for all of your prompt
replies.

Message: cannot import xml, even after exporting using file, export, xml, and not touching the file

I need to change the messages for a different language. Has anyone been able to set this XML file to import? Some of the content is in Norwegian, but don't how that will affect it. But it will not import a file, even if it was just exported.

Hi Patrick,
I tried few import/export scenarios in captivate 7 and it works fine for me. I think it will be a good idea if you can mail me the .xml file along with steps to reproduce the issue.

And metalink note 1100253.1 states that this issue (java.lang.StackOverflowError) might be caused by a too large set of data to be sorted in the layout file. Recommendation is to removed the sort from the layout file and instead sort the data already in the data definition.

Receive Location picks up files not equal to file mask

Hi,
I have a solution with two Receive Ports. Each port has one Receive Location bound to it and they both point to the same file directory but with different file masks.
RL1 has file mask F5*.xml
RL2 has file mask XC5*.xml
I have noticed one or two times that RL1 is picking up files with the wrong file mask. File XC5040976.916.xml was picked up by RL1 with the result that the wrong map is applied. I am using two ports because the root node is the same in both schemas
and this was the simplest way to separate them.
Do you think this is a bug? The workaround would be to also have separate file directorys but I should not have to do that. In my opinion the different file masks should be enough.
Any ideas?
Regards
Anders

Are you sure that one of two things is not happening:
- The files being written has temporary names while being written and are not locked?
- It is actually the correct Receive Location that picks up the message but something else in your logic is wrong?
Can you try to disable RL2 and verify whether or not RL1 ever picks up a file that begins with XC5..?

Remote Files not showing in files window

DW 8.0.2, WinXP, Ubuntu Linux server, FTP
All was working fine for the past few months and earlier
today. Now, I can connect via FTP to my Ubuntu web server but the
remote files are not showing up and thus synchronization is not
working (I can PUT, but not GET). Everything shows up fine in
Filezilla. DW FTP log shows activity, including listing the
folders, but still nothing shows in the remote view. AFAIK, nothing
on the server changed (I asked) and this happened while working in
DW...one minute all is fine, the next it was not working.
Because sync stopped working (it wants to upload ALL files
ALL the time because it does not see Remote files) I tried the
troubleshooting thing of disabling sync, exiting, restarting,
enabling sync, attempting a sync, etc, but now the xml file (in
_notes folder) will not come back. What ths heck is going on?!?
So far I've tried:
- Exit and restart DW
- Reboot PC
- Restart FTP service (though I doubt that's the problem
since it works fine with Filezilla)
- The troublshooting for sync issues
- Re-install 8.0.2 update (can't reinstall all of DW right
now because the disks are at home)
- Creating a new site
- Mucking with the FTP settings (currently using passive FTP
with sync turned on...all other setting are the usual)
I plan to try a reinstall of DW tonight. Any help is
appreciated!

Wow...not a single response. Anyway, problem solved. Turns
out a server restart restored the remote view. This was after an
FTP service restart did not fix it. Weird in any case because
"regular" FTP worked fine, just not in Dreamweaver.

Can not open .psd files in Photoshop!

I am using Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 (Macintosh 10.5.6). Files created in Photoshop are saved to disc as .psd. Next time upon opening (both double clicking file and opening from within Photoshop) message appears: ‘Could not complete your request because the file is empty’ (I can see the file and ‘look’ at it using space bar). Older .psd files open normally. I did start using Spaces a few days ago. Maybe that's the culprit? Any ideas?

That sounds like the files are corrupted. I would be looking for disk problems.
And you really should be on MacOS 10.5.8 - they fix a lot of bugs with each dot release.

Error: File Not Found on File Repository Server

CA Forum: Exporting
Hi
We have clustered 2 servers and all the services of both the servers have CMS Name as "@<Cluster_Name>"
But when we run any crystal report through the thin client(portal) or through crystal itself, it is showing the errror ---
"xxxxxxxx.rpt not found on File Repository Server". If I check the path for report in CMC and if I check physical location, the file is present.
This is happening only with Crystal reports and not with DESKI or WEBI reports.
Please help...

File to File - "Not authorized to file" Problem

Hi
I have configured a communication channel to pick a file form R/3 system. We have created an FTP user for this. We are getting "Not authorized to file" error in adapter monitoring. I came to know that the FTP user needs R3OWNER authority. Does the FTP user really needs the R3OWNER authority or is there any other way to pick the file from the R/3 system ?
Regards,
Sreenivas Nettem

Nettem,
If the client has no problem within the organisation to share the files then we will go for NFS. If you send the files outside your organisation then we will do the FTP. NFS is nothing but network file sharing.
Sometimes even with in the organisation also client dont want to give file sharing. Then you will go for FTP. Hope this gives you some idea on these two.

Photoshop not recognizing PSD files in my windows account but works on others

I tried browsing my computer for the default program to open .psd files, but when I double click photoshop cs6, it doesn't show up in the list of default programs. Please help, this is very annoying. Photoshop can open .psd files automatically in other user accounts, but not on mine.

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Photoshop not recognizing PSD files

My PSD files are not being recognized. When I go to Properties and then Open With, and browse to the Photoshop application as usual, I am unable to select Photoshop as the program to open my file. I am completely baffled.
It looks like the Open With function is not recognizing PhotoShop, and I do not know if this is a Photoshop error or a Windows error.
Other Adobe programs are working and are recognized just fine. I am using Windows 7 and Photoshop CS4. I am running up-to-date Norton 360 so it is extremnely unliklely to be a virus.
Help please!

Sounds like a basic system problem, not a problem with Photoshop per se...
First, Photoshop should have installed itself so that it would automatically be in the list of programs available to open that file type.
Second, if it's not there by default, browsing to the Photoshop.exe file should make it work as you expect.
I've just opened a file from my desktop using Right Click, then Open With, and choosing Photoshop.exe as you have described. However, in my case Photoshop is already in the list of Recommended Programs.
Out of curiosity, do you see it in the list of "Other Programs" toward the bottom of the Open With dialog? You'll have to click on the little arrow to the right to see them.
