BUG 3: Style Mappings Dialog Takes 1:45 min/sec to Open

Use of the style mapping dialog is critical to using this
product.
This dialog is used iteratively in development to map FM
styles to HTML tags and make changes as necessary. It is not used
only once.
Each time I attempt to open this dialog I must wait 1 minute
and 45 seconds for the dialog to appear;
this amount of time is unacceptable.
RoboHelp appears to be using this time to parse the entire
FrameMaker book chapter by chapter looking for paragraph styles. In
literally 99.8% of the times an update operation is requested no
new paragraph styles have been added to any chapter in the book.
I'm confident that this is the case for many, if not most, other
users as well. Therefore the time consumed really is wasted.
Please re-engineer the update, force update process with a
goal of making it much, much faster and more responsive to our
workflow e.g. process differences where they represent real content
changes and leave the rest 'as is'.

Yes! I am not the only one!!
I am using a miniscule "test" file at this point, because I
was trying to figure out what was breaking RoboHelp, so I'm
importing a 1-page document with 2 paragraphs on it.
I don't have the wait time the OP has, but when I load the
mapping tags into the dialog box, and then try to update, RoboHelp
crashes with an "out of memory" error.

BUG 4: FM File Update Takes 7:29 min/sec

Another performance issue/bug. FM file update takes a long
time. Here are the stats:
RH7 project linked to book of 35 FrameMaker files totalling
727 topics.
Files added by reference.
Updating links to these files, an operation that is required
whenever source material is updated, takes 7 minutes and 29 seconds
on an XP machine with a 2.79 GHz Pentium 4 and 3.00 GB of RAM.
It'd be very helpful if this operation were better optimized.

Those were the days... it takes twice as long now (RH8/FM9).

Editing content settings and style mappings

The RH HTML online help does not explain how to open the
Content Settings dialog box in an existng project. I eventually
figured out that you have to right-click the loaded FM book in the
Project Manager pod, and then select "Properties."

Thanks. I can save Style Mappings to XML and reload them with
no problem. But our FM template allows for extensive autonumbering,
so for each project I would have to open the "Ignore Autonumbering"
dialog box and check almost all of the boxes (to disable heading
and paragraph numbering, but enable list/step numbering). It would
be nice if I could save and re-use these settings, or at least
select all of them automatically and then clear a few.

Setting up my Line6 UX1 with Audtion 3.0 on Win7 - settings dialog takes ages to respond

I downloaded the trial of Adobe Audition 3.0 (I've been using 1.5 on WinXP for a few years now and it's always been fine to use!)
I am trying to set up my Line6 POD Studio UX1 with Audtion 3.0 on Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit - 32GB RAM Quad Core Intel i7 3770 Processor)
I am noticing that the Settings dialog takes ages to respond and update with the changes I make - when I eventually managed to get playback - the playback only came out on the left monitor.
I should mention that I am doing this on a previous Audition 1.5 session - Audition 3.0 saved the session as a new session so I think that should be fine.
What I'm looking for here is the correct settings I need to use in Audition 3.0 to use my UX1.
I don't want to pay for Audition 3.0 if it's not going to work for me!

You won't be able to pay for Audition 3 since it was discontinued several years ago. However you may be able to upgrade to AA3 for free as a previous Audition user.

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) goes to Computer Drive C - instead of Quick Access

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) still have its legacy behavior implemented and navigates to a computer drive, by preselecting and letting the user start at Computer > Drive C - instead of Quick Access.
This is simply a forgotten correction after Quick Access has been introduced that needs to be corrected for Quick Access to work effectively (in a valuable way for the user) with files not just during create and modify operations on files - but also Open
file - using File Dialog Boxes (although users may use launch instead for Opening files using i.e. Explorer or navigation from shortcuts on the desktop).
This missing change of File Dialog Box behavior is unintended and now contradicts the new design with Quick Access for faster navigation (so you should not have to start with a scroll and extra navigation to look for Quick Access (contradiction:
i.e. QUICK Access)
Please support the new navigation provided by Quick Access intended to give Quick Access - thus Save As must be able to start here.
For variability, may be provide an overriding option in Explorer>Folder Options>General (if you change the default behaviour in the File Dialogue) to have Save As start at Computer > Drive C.
! Remember to do the change for the Common File Dialog as well - used by most widespread software applications in the Adobe software applications portfolio, i.e. Adobe Photoshop CS6

Thank you for your time and response! Unfortunately, we have the machine locked down pretty tight (they are public use computers that require heavy restriction) and it is set to restrict all drives so access is limited to the local profile. We did try
testing your method, however, by adding the Desktop as an allowed location in the Office policy (which would not solve the issue for the other applications but was good for a test) using the path %userprofile%\desktop. When choosing that location, it does
not throw the error but unfortunately, it does not remember like it did for your with the E: drive so it still always throws the error when first loading the dialogue box no matter what I do. If you're able to confirm that this is simply by design and we're
just expected to inform our users to click through the errors, then I guess that's the accepted answer. Although, do you think that there might be a registry key value that is set after you save to the E: drive for the first time? Maybe we could set that value
to %userprofile%\desktop if it's doing the redirection after the first save through registry. Thanks again!

Get UID of Paragraph Style that is edited in Paragraph Style Options dialog

Paragraph styles can be edited in the "Paragraph Style Options" selectable dialog. I am adding an addition style option panel to this dialog. How can I retrieve the UID of the paragraph style that is currently being displayed in this "Paragraph Style Options" dialog? Can this be obtained in the dialog controller of the additional style option panel (I need to obtain this UID to display and store additional style data)?

Thanks Dirk
One more thing, continuing on the previous theme. I got the paragraph or character style using something like this (thanks to you)
InterfacePtr<IWidgetParent> iWidgetParent(this, IID_IWIDGETPARENT);
if (!iWidgetParent) break;
InterfacePtr<ISelectableDialogSwitcher> iSelectableDialog((ISelectableDialogSwitcher*)iWidgetParent->QueryParentFor(IID_ISELECTABLEDIALOGSWITCHER));
if (!iSelectableDialog) break;
InterfacePtr<IUIDData> iData(iSelectableDialog, IID_IUIDDATA);
if(iData->GetItemUID()==0) break;
InterfacePtr<ITextAttributes> textAttributes(iData->GetItemUID(),iData->GetItemDataBase(),IID_ITEXTATTRIBUTES);
if(!textAttributes) break;
However when I am trying to get text attributes for Find Change dialog, the IID_IUIDDATA == 0 and therefor returns nothing when trying to get attributes.
Now if I try this code
InterfacePtr<ITextAttributes> textAttributes((ITextAttributes*)iWidgetParent->QueryParentFor(IID_ISAVEDTEXTATTRIBUTES));
then I get the attributes for the find text or change text even when I am using grep dialog.
Theoretically I could get attributes from IFindChangeOptions interface, and I could figure if grep or text is enabled using GetGrepFlag function, but how do I know if I'm in find or change. It should be easy since they are different bosses like you mentioned previously, but I cant figure how to find that info in dialog.
Thanks

Bug in Edit BLOB Dialog

Hi,
the dialog to display and edit BLOB values (double click on a cell in a BLOB column) seems to have a bug when the value is displayed as text.
To reproduce:
- open the dialog on a blob value that contains data (e. g. a text file)
- check the 'text' checkbox. A new tab occurrs displaying the blob as text.
- uncheck the checkbox
- check it again
Now the text tab displays the the blob value two times. It seems to me that the textarea is not being cleared before loading the blob value again.
I am using version 1.5.4.

The flow of work is this - I use an image as an example
To bring an image (blob) into the database
1. select from table with blob field.
2. Insert new record
3. Next to the blob field, click the "..." button
4. Click LOAD button to browse and find image
5. Click OK to close the dialog. (Note you do not see the image at this stage)
6. Now commit the record in the data grid.
7. Next to the blob field, click the "..." button
8. To view image or text, select the appropriate checkbox.
To save an image (blob) from the database to file system
1. select from table with blob field.
2. Next to the blob field, click the "..." button
3. Click the save button
4. Enter a filename and click "Save"
5. Close all dialogs.
The image or blob file contents are now saved to the file system.
The single record view is a red herring and has no impact on the process.

Can I convert my .xml style mappings to an .isf?

Hi, everyone,
I'm test driving TCS2 which has RH8. In RH7, style mappings were saved as .xml files. It appears that in RH8 they are saved as .isf files. We spent a lot of time on style mappings and would like to reuse them. Is there anyway that I can convert the file in some way? I tried just changing the file extension, but RH didn't like it.
Thanks.

I don't have an isf extension yet. I just have an .xml file that I want to convert to an .isf so that I can use it in RH8.

Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason. I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.

Save screen takes 30 seconds or more to open

I've been having a problem recently where on any program, whenever I click Save As, or Save for the first time, it takes at least 30 seconds to open the finder window to choose where I want to save the file. I just have the beach ball, and it finally loads up, sometimes taking as long as a full minute. This has only been happening for about a week or two, and nothing else on the Macbook Pro lags. Any ideas what could cause this?

Right, sorry, I was thinking Terminal for some reason. No errors come up while the beach ball is spinning. I do all system updates as soon as they come out, and there hasn't been one since June if I remember correctly. I haven't installed any new software in the past couple weeks. I haven't tried Safe Mode yet, but I will try that soon.
The thing that makes this more tricky is that it doesn't do it 100% of the time. It seems like it will be fine for a while after I reboot, and then it starts doing it. However, it definitely isn't an issue of running out of resources since my Macbook Pro has 8GB of RAM, 40GB hard drive space empty, and the latest processor before the i5 was released.
Another thing to note is that once the save dialog window finally comes up, if I close it and then press save again, it opens normally. However, if I close the application, reopen it, and then try to save, it will hang again.

Quicktime takes a lot of time to open after last Quicktime or iTunes update

I have actually no big problems, but its a bit annoying that Quicktime Player takes a lot of time (maybe twice as before) for opening a Quicktime file (mp3 or video file, it doesnt matter).. I think this situation arised after the last Quicktime update or the update before this I dont know for sure. I think the last Quicktime update.. I am using the latest Quicktime which is 7.6 and its Tiger (10.4.11). When Quicktime Player is not opened, and its getting opened for the first time by clicking for instance on a mp3 file, it takes more then 10 seconds to open up, when I click the file Quicktime Player bounces normally as always but then the spinning rainbow beachball is shown for more then 10 seconds before the player window appears. There is no delay when I go open a mp3 from another mp3. The delay occurs only when Quicktime Player is not opened yet (quit/closed) and you click on a Quicktime file then the delay happens during the opening of the player.. Sometimes it doesnt even open the file I clicked, but only Quicktime Player so I have to click the same file again..
What I tried is :
deleted all Quicktime player preference files.. Didnt help
removed all plugins from the Quicktime library.. Didnt help either
What could the problem possibly be? What can I do to recover it except for installing my system all over again? Will Apple fix this problem with the next update?
PS: I dont exclude that the latest iTunes update (8.1) can be a cause of this problem. Do you know if the iTunes update also changed/updated something regards Quicktime (Player)?

Why is an Archive & Install not an option for you? It does NOT delete your applications or your settings, and is NOT the same as an Erase & Install which does.
In my opinion it will be the only way to get your old G3 working properly again.
How to Archive & Install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
This document explains how to correctly reinstall a prior version of Mac OS X in the event that other troubleshooting does not resolve an issue:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25404
BUT: Don't install older versions of Mac OS than what comes with your computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186?viewlocale=en_US
Will Apple fix this problem with the next update?
For 99.9% of users there is no problem to fix.
But before doing your archive and install, when did you last perform a bit of maintenance?
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.

If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

After upgrading to iOS 5, my iPhone 4 takes a very long time to open digitally signed emails. I've tried with the SMIME settings enabled, but that doesn't help either. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

I suspect you may have a corrupt photo or image that is causing the sync to fail or quit. You might want to try removing all of your photos by deselecting them in iTunes then sync - and try adding them by each sub-folders until you are able to nail down which sub-folder of photos, that causes the sync to stop or gives you errors.

Iphoto takes at least 10 minutes to open

This is really dumb. I have 5000 photos and it takes more than 10 minutes to open Iphoto. I wanted to show some pictures this weekend and I was embarrassed to tell my sister that it would take like 15 minutes to open them. I would only expect this nonsense on a windows machine. Doesn't someone have a answer?

Do you have Windows installed via Bootcamp? Try unmounting that partition. The problem is caused by Spotlight trying to index it.
