Bug In Transform Panel (Long-Standing Issue)

I wonder when Adobe will ever bother to fix this... the units in the doc setup and ruler are not honored in the Transform Palette when the document is first opened.
The easiest workaround is to right-click on the ruler and re-select the unit you want (even if it's already checked) but this one has been around -- and widely reported -- since at least AI10, on both platforms... I've submitted bug reports for every version, but it's still here. So fracking annoying...
</rant>

Or if you prefer one man's horror story is another man's amusement.
To be a bit more serious I do not think this is exactly a bug as to being a feature request to have a way of the user to define more clearly and deliberately at startup how they want things to work.
Like such here's my protoype:
I believe what you see is actually expected behavior just because one changes the rulers temporarily doesn't mean they want to change the document set up they may simply want to see how things compare or use the rues for a simply visual conversion of measures. If you want to change the document set up you would use the document set up to do so.
As you easily tell fro my prototype it is actually they way things currently work and true you may thought this was not expected I believeiyt is expected behavior.
Of curse I or both of us could be wrong.
Let's wait for Skullmaker to chime in I do not think he will becauseI think he probably likes it the way it is already. But you can never tell.

Windows 7 Boot fails on Mac Pro 1,1 (long-standing issue)

i am having a long-standing problem on my first generation (1,1) mac pro where i have an installation of Windows 7 "under" boot camp. this installation involved some kind of minor mac hack that involved writing something to ISO and/or a CD Rom and then getting the installation onto my hard drive.
right now i am not sure if i should get rid of my tech guy, buy the new mac pro as soon as it comes out, boot into safe mode, re-install windows 7 or all of the above. help please?
lately if i try and Option Boot into this volume i get a Windows closed down incorrectly error and then i hit start windows normally it will crash out and restart the computer in mac OS (i.e. in another option boot volume).
at one point the windows 7 boot was not working at all and we discovered that i had to TURN OFF my G-Tech 3 TB backup drive in order to get the Mac to boot into Windows.
i am wondering if i should focus my energies by trying to boot into Safe Mode (and if so what to do if/when i get there) but also whether this appears to be an issue with the Mac Pro, the G-Tech external, Windows or some combination of all plus some user error thrown in for good measure.
i absolutely need to have a volume of windows 7 running and this is a long-standing issue at this point.
i am also running a Carbon Copy Cloner of this volume (the one that has all my OS's) on a daily basis to another internal hard drive (which i assume does not matter but i figure to mention it).
any ideas on what to do??
i am planning at some point to buy the next release of the Mac Pro so i can upgrade the desktop to Mountain Lion to match the laptop but it seems like i should be able to get this working on my end now...
TIA
P.S. I /am/ also noticing that my User Photo periodically drops off and i just see two blank icons (one for me and one for Guest) when i have to login. i set it to a photo and then a week or two or a boot or two later it will disappear.

hi all,
a report back after hacking my way through siberia over here:
turns out there are bad sectors on my drive that some third party program discovered.
the disk is on it's way back to WD with a replacement in the works.
fortunately my internal cloned backup got me back up to speed with mac os but unfortunately i was not yet setup to clone my windows boot camp backup so i will be installing windows 7 boot camp one more time on this drive...

Expresscard/34 Esta Adapters Crash OS X -- long-standing issue.

Hi everyone,
I have a MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2008) that has exhibited this issue from the onset of using an Expresscard/34 esata adapter: Upon inserting the Esata adapter, I will get a Kernel Panic (the one whree I get multiple languages saying I must hold down the power button to shut down).
I thought this was a driver issue, but this has been present from 1.5 Leopard all the way to the current 10.6.4, and has always been present. I have tried different brands / makes of expresscard/34 adapters, 1-port, 2-port, different chipsets -- but the problem always persists. And, of course, I have tried disk repair, etc to make sure the mac is running correctly.
The problem overall, however, is not fully consistent: upon plugging in the esata adapter, a number of times it will boot up the drives just fine, whereas others it will crash immediately. If the drives boot up successfully, it will never crash afterwards; it seems to be an initialization / startup issue with esata adapter cards (again, this isn't limited to one chipset, or brand, or model). Likewise, I have used different esata hubs, with different chipsets...and this doesn't seem to be the root of the problem, either; at this point the issue may indeed point to the Mac itself.
At this point, I'm not sure what to try. I've gone through years worth of OS X updates, patiently sent crash reports upon all the crashes, with descriptions -- but with no solution ever offered or integrated. My AppleCare warranty expires March 17, 2011...so if I need to do some returning, etc -- I feel like it should be done pretty soon. This Macbook Pro in particular has had the logic board and monitor already re-conditioned due to manufacturer defects (faulty NVIDIA chip, and the monitor issue). Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
John

Hi John
I was just reading on this; I would like to propose some info, info you might already have read:

Long standing issue with Caller Display

Hello, I hope someone may be able to help.
We have had no caller display service since just before Christmas, some six or so weeks ago now.
I must have called 151 nearly 10 times, received several calls back, one visit from Openreach, made three BT complaints, had my reported fault closed several times as the "end user says it is working" (I presume that is me? I certainly havent told anyone at BT it is working!), and must have been on the phone trying to solve this issue for more than 5 or 6 hours in total. What a waste of my time.
Essentially, my elderly and disabled parents receive lots of marketing, sales, unwanted type phonecalls etc, and with caller display previously it has helped them decide if they want to pick up the phone or not. They want to answer calls to friends and family etc, but not to these "nuisance" calls.
Everything worked fine til just before Christmas, when we found out Caller Display was now going to be a chargeable service. I dont mind paying for something if it works, and we "opted in".
However, we still have difficulties with caller display.
17070 works fine.
*#234# tells me callers ID will be displayed.
Several openreach engineers checked exchange and uploaded new software etc.
The problem still exists some 6 or more weeks on!
This cannot continue. I am just going round in circles all the time, speaking with various people on the phone at BT.
What can I do next? Citizens Advice?, Ombudsmen?, letter to BT Chairman?
We are not happy bunnies here, but if anyone could help......I would be exceptionally grateful!!
Thank you.

Not good. Can I get a refund please on the caller ID service as I believe I have been paying £1.75/month since January 4th?
I still want to problem sorted by the way......
Any update RobbieMac?
Thanks.
Did you agree a new contract because in your earlier post you say

if you did then you will not have been paying for caller ID

[svn] 3105: SDK-15764, SDK-15765 -- Two long standing Ant task bugs.

Revision: 3105
Author: [email protected]

Log Message:
SDK-15764, SDK-15765 -- Two long standing Ant task bugs.
- Ant Tasks fail when setting fork="true" and there are spaces in the path name
- Setting fork="true" in Ant Tasks leads to warning
The issue with spaces is that forked tasks construct a stringified commandline, since Java doesn't allow you to pass real String[] to a new process. When not forking, we can pass the original String[], which makes spaces irrelevent. So the fix uses a Commandline.toString(String[]) which is designed to wrap arguments with spaces correctly with quotes, so the commandline tokenizes correctly.
Bugs: SDK-15764 SDK-15765
QA: This affects ant calls for _all_ FlexTasks where fork=true. It would be great if we have tests for both fork="true" and "false" where we tested paths and arguments with and without spaces -- off the top of my head, good ones to try: +flexlib=/path/with spaces/, -define=CONFIG::foo,"bar with spaces", and any other arguments you can think of. Also very important: Test passing space arguments without quotes, with single quotes, with double quotes, with a mixture (illegal), and with a mixture escaping the inner set of quotes (not sure if this should work or not, probably a stupid case to test unless quotes are allowed in paths).

Long standing bug in ARD

There is a LONG STANDING bug in ARD dating back to at least v2.0, maybe earlier.
While controlling a remote Mac, for seemingly no reason, the display stops refreshing. The connection has not been lost just refresh is stopped. A single refresh workaround is to click the color adjustment bar, no need to move it, just click it and you get one refresh. This happens to me way too frequently! It occurs on PPC as well as Intel Macs, on local LANs and over the Internet through VPNs.
Sometimes you can break out of this by closing the connection and connecting again but it usually requires the remote machine to restart the ARD service. Doing this with ARD itself usually leaves the remote machine unreachable (ARD service stopped.) I have taken to using a near by Windows machine then ssh'ing into the Mac to manually restart the service. This works but the refresh problem re-occurs after an undetermined amount of time.
There seems to be no clues as to why this happens. There is never any particular task I am performing, no specific app I am always running, etc, etc.
Excuse me if this has already been brought up and if someone knows a fix or can point me to a KB article I would be most appreciative!
Thanks,
Josh
G3, G4, G5, Intel iMac, you name... Mac OS X (10.4.6) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I, too have experienced this problem. However, much more so since I upgraded to ARD 3. This can happen, as you say, on a wide variety of clients: eMacs, G5 Dual, iMac G5, Powerbooks. Most annoying. I have found that if I use TB2 to control the client, I will find, in some cases, the SystemUIServer process is hung. By Force Quitting this process and Re-Starting the client, I am able to get ARD to run again.
This seems a little more severe than your problem, but I have had the same experience as you describe as well--the SystemUIServer is not hung in these cases. I can generally find nothing wrong on the client to account for the behavior.
Nor have I found a satisfactory answer to the problem on this forum. Would love it someone could offer a clue!

Actions which include Set Reference Pt via Transform Panel failing consistently during playback

The title pretty much says it all. I have two different Windows XP machines, both got upgraded to CS 6 (the x.0.0 release, the Release Notes for the x.0.1 don't directly address this, but if this topic pulls up blank, I may go that route... it requires running an approval gauntlet via IT, otherwise I'd already have done it).
Repeatable problem is this:
0. Create and select an object. Even a basic rectangle will do.
1. Creat a new Action.
2. Begin recording.
3. In the Transform Panel, specify a new Reference Point that isn't the lower right (if your machines are like mine, you will get a "double hit" of the same Action step, no matter how gently you click on the new Reference Point). I say "not the lower right" for a reason in a second.
4. Feel free to make a couple other numeric transforms in the Transform Panel. I tried adjusting Width and Height.
5. Stop recording.
6. Undo back to the original state (though I suppose it isn't necessary to deomnstrate the point)
7. Run the Action.
First thing, the Set Reference Point seems to be utterly ignored, *or* sometimes it sets to the lower right and stays stuck there. I made one Action that was just a series of moving the Reference Point around a rectangle clockwise. The Action failed after the first Set and then stayed locked on the lower right for no discernible reason.
In an attempt to revisit some old Actions that were working without fail under 5.5, I loaded those. For those imported Actions, every time playback hit a step calling for a "Transform Panel," it would return an error dialog "The object "Transform Panel" is not currently available."
What in the blue blazes is going on here? Needless to say, this is taking a wrecking ball to our dozen mission-critical Action Sets, which all rely upon setting transforms to fit particular spaces automatically, precisely and consistently, and which, I might add, worked fine under 5.5.
On the positive side, the bug where movement of objects by their X,Y coordinates via the Transform Panel during Playback seems to be fixed. So, I guess there's that.
Help?
P.S. Addendum: if anyone on CS6 (16.0.0 and/or 16.0.1) can at least run through the test case above and either confirm or deny that I am crazy to be witnessing this, that would be helpful, too.

I FIXED IT!!!
How? I made a simple Action that just recorded my changing the reference point around an object clockwise, saved the Action, then cracked it open in a text editor (Wordpad, in my case).
Most of the items aren't terribly useful (for instance, Adobe, why are dialog texts in machine code rather than human-readable strings? That's be darn handy), BUT at the end of each step of the Action (called Events), I noticed that there was a variable being set to "8" every time. Yes, there are 9 possible reference points, but you need to think like a programmer/computer here. Yep, the first point isn't "1," it's "0." So, counting left-to-right, top-to-bottom gives you...
0 = Top Left
1 = Top Middle
7 = Bottom Middle
8 = Bottom Right
So it isn't the playback that's at fault, it's THE ACTION RECORDER getting it wrong. I changed that last "8" variable to a "1" and brought it back into Illustrator and ta-da! My reference point gets accurately set at the Top Middle and proceeds from there! YAY! HAPPY DANCE!
PS Adobe, YOU'RE WELCOME.

Need to extend the visible character field in the Transform panel y axis

Just a minor thing, but in the Transform panel, the Y axis text entry field only really allows four visible characters. My vertical site I'm working on may be a bit long, but it's into the five-digit realm at this point, and that last hidden digit keeps me awake at night. ;-)
For example, in the pic below, the coordinate is actually y=12005.
I know, there are bigger fish to fry. ;-)

I suggest you purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Inconsistent values in Info Panel and Transform Panel

Does anyone know what circumstances would cause inconsistent values for Width and Height to be shown in the Info Panel vs the Transform Panelin AI CS6? For instance, I have a vector object selected and the Transform Panel has "80 in" for the width value and the Info Panel shows "96.8654 in". Height is likewise screwy. Should this ever be happening? Is it possibly an AI bug?

That's not normal. Try a restart.
If that doesn't help, try and trash the preferences. Or try this method http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html

Illustrator CS 5.1 Text On Path Transform Panel

Just upgraded from CS4 to CS5.1. I noticed that when I have text on a path, and I try to use the Transform Panel to change the size of the text, it distorts the path. For example, if I make a 10" circle, and place text going around that circle, and then try to use the Transform Panel to put in a new width dimensions (say 5"), it distorts the path and text to an oval shape (wider than tall). I have contrain proportions selected, along with "Scale Strokes & Effects" and "Transform Both" checked on. I noticed this when I had a design I was working on. It was a panther mascot logo in a ciircle with text going around the circle. I tried to use the Transform Panel to change the size of the entire design, and it distorted everything. I problem solved and figured out the text on the path was the culprit. If I select everything excluding the text on the path, it will tranform correctly.
Any insight as to how to resolve this issue (other than converting the text to paths) would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yup, that worked, however I really don't like having to turn off preview bounds. I like getting accurate reading on dimensions, especially when objects have strokes on them. Is that a quirk with CS5? I worked with preview bounds turned on in CS4 with no issues. Thanks again for youer help.

Muse Crashes when moving transform panel

Everytime I try to "move" the transform panel in muse, the program crashes. Works ok if I dont try to move it and works ok when I use the functions inside the transform panel. I am running most current version. Help?

You may also want to clear Muse's preferences once to see if that resolves the issue. The process to clear Muse's preferences/cache is detailed here -http://forums.adobe.com/message/5086018#5086018

I am unable to get the front panel to work (the soundcard works fine). It has no lights, volume does not work and the mode selection does not work, in fact the only thing that works are my headphones. When I plug in my headphones my speakers mute and I get sound in my headphones. I have disconnected all connections and reconnected them ensure they are fully seated. I have reseated my card as well.

Imported Photos Go All White! A Bug Or Is It Quartz/Core Issue?

Imported Photos Go All White! A Bug Or Is It Quartz/Core Issue? Tried jpg and png and .........

I had that same problem with my laptop. Went to apple and they could not fix it. Had another issue and they told me to copy my iphoto library to the desktop. When I did that the white pictures were then visible on the desktop library. They said I had too much stuff on my computer. When I upgraded to I life 06 most of the pictures came back.

How are transforms in the transform panel applied?

I am trying to understand when/how the transforms made in the transform panel are applied to display objects so that I can manipulate them using action script. To be clear, I understand that I can use the display object properties such as rotation to transform a display object, and I understand that I can also use a matrix transformation. Unfortunatley, this doesn't always seem to have the same behavior when nesting as direct transformations using the panel. So I would like to find a way to manipulate whatever properties the transform panel is changing.
Maybe this isn't clear, so here's an example.
On a new stage, I place a rectangle and use the transform panel to rotate it 39 degrees. Then I assign this shape to a variable and use the debug panel to inspect the member properties of the shape. As far as I can tell, this rotation value is not contained within any of the transformation parameters. Is it pre-applied?
If I use the "export as XML" option, the rotation value is listed in the "Source" tag, as below:
<Motion duration="1" xmlns="fl.motion.*" xmlns:geom="flash.geom.*" xmlns:filters="flash.filters.*">
    <source>
        <Source frameRate="24" x="265" y="184.5" scaleX="1" scaleY="1" rotation="39" elementType="drawing object">
            <dimensions>
                <geom:Rectangle left="111.35" top="35.1" width="307.25" height="298.85"/>
            </dimensions>
            <transformationPoint>
                <geom:Point x="0.5000813669650123" y="0.5099548268362054"/>
            </transformationPoint>
        </Source>
    </source>
    <Keyframe index="0"/>
</Motion>
So this is being stored as a value somewhere. Any ideas?
Thanks - Andrew

if you're mixing actionscript with something drawn in the ide, you must be converting your drawing into an object (in order to reference it with actionscipt).   whatever you convert to an object will assume mostly default properties (no matter what you see on-stage). the x and y properties are an exception.
