Bugs and Problems Galore

I am so disappointed, I'm beside myself.
Dual monitor support I can wait, thought I'm not happy. I have two monitors, I'd like to make use of that real estate to expand the panels a bit so I can see everything. Scrolling the panels is a huge waste of time.
But batch processing is missing? Are you kidding me? Just about every event shoot I do, I need to run through Noise Ninja. I have no way to do that now.
What about batch actions? When I do a shoot with a model, I choose the RAW files I want to keep, adjust them, and then in Bridge use the "photo processor" to batch them into PSD and apply a few custom adjustment layers. I can then go into each PSD, do touch-ups as necessary. It's pretty rare that there isn't a keeper with a small wrinkle or pimple or even bruise or scratch that needs a touchup. Flyaway hairs need to be removed. Catchlights brightened. The list goes on. I have to do this one at a time in Photoshop now and can't batch it?
That pretty-much makes Lightroom useless for my workflow. I can't imagine a single fashion photographer who requires Photoshop to do any retouching would find this useful.
As for bugs... the strip at the bottom has some serious issues. When I delete a photo, it resets the strip back to the beginning. What a time-waster.
I can't delete multiple photos from the strip. Multi-select and then delete, and only the last one selected is deleted.
Select a photo, right-click on a DIFFERENT photo and choose delete, and the SELECTED photo is deleted, not the one right-clicked-on. I just trashed a keeper that way. Furthermore, if I multi-select a few photos in the strip, even if I then choose a different one to view, the file name and settings don't change - it keeps the information from the first photo in the multi-select. Making a change and presuming that the change is happening to the photo being viewed reveals that, no, the change happens to the first photo in the multi-select.
For some reason, when I sync up "develop" settings in a folder, I have to scroll the strip to get them to generate previews. Am I missing something? Shouldn't they all do their things and not require me to scroll through everything every time?
Why does it have to re-calculate the histogram EVERY SINGLE TIME, even when I don't make changes? It can't cache this data?!
I've not even gotten past working through "Library" and "Develop" and I'm already realizing that this product not only won't do everything I already do in Bridge, but will actually make my workflow TAKE LONGER.
Color me seriously unpleased.

Okay, point in favor of LR, I can look at these while the import is going on. That's nice.
So it's better. Not perfect, but better. The histogram still recalculates every time, but that's an annoyance, not a hindrance.
Now, when moving to a new picture it's blurry but the non-blurry preview comes up sub-second.
But... this is in "library" mode. When I go to "develop," the problem is back. At least 4 seconds to get a real preview. When selecting a new photo (and I should note that the three dots are NOT there at any time), the sliders in the right panel, the tone curve, and everything else I can see is dimmed-out and unavailable. Within about 2 to 3 seconds they go live and the first refresh of the preview occurs. Then, about 2 more seconds later a second refresh occurs and the image comes into focus.
It is as if the program loads the original image, then loads the preview, THEN does any processing that the develop settings would indicate. That last step should be part of the preview and cached, of course. It appears that it is not.
The entire time, the "Loading..." label is shown underneath the main preview. It disappears after about a full 6 to 8 seconds.
So yeah, with all due respect to Adobe, not even close.

Many bugs and problems in Pages 5.0

Hi everybody!
I just send this bug report to the Apple's feedback team.
Meanwhile, maybe you guys could help me find any solutions? Thanks!
I downloaded Pages 5.0 yesterday.
It seems that it is impossible to use the Align and Distribute function. When I select more then three objects I can't use those function either by the Inspector window or the main menu at the to of the page.
Those functions appear in grey.
Also, I noticed that I can't group or ungroup those objects. These functions also appear greyed.
Also, I wonder why Pages 5.0 doesn't allow to show the vertical ruler.
Finally, it seems - as in the previous version of Pages - impossible to select multiple objects with a selecting arrow allowing the user to circle the desired objects. Command-A or click-shift is not an option when you want to select specific and multiple objects in an area. Dammm! That is something so useful in Word!

UPDATE
Some problems solved
Notice : I use a the french version. I'll try to use the right terms to get me understanded.
About those functions : group, ungroup, align, distribute... They get available when :
     - you first select one or more objects
     - in the Format Window at right you choose the « Arrange » menu.
     - Then you select (I'm not shure about this one in english) « Stay on the page ». Don't select « With text ». SEE IMAGE INSERTED here.
Now, what about the vertical ruler? I guess it's all gone in this version.
Also, to easily select multiple et specific objects I didn't find any way better then the shift-click avery one of them. Bummer.

Nokia 6500 slide..Bugs and problems..

Just read some posts regarding the nokia 6500 and it seems i too am not alone with the problems on this model..
I have had nothing but problems with this phone and keeps freezing, cuts out whilst in the middle of a call and generally is the most problem ridden phone nokia must have ever produced.
I cant believe that a trusted company the size of nokia would allow a product like this to be released in the uk market.
I do also understand that nokia now have stiff competition from other manafacturers. And have to fight for the share of the market place. But releasing inferior phones that obviously havent passed the research stage Is hardly the way to keep the customers that they have..
I cant wait till my phone is repaired and put for sale on E bay..Anyone recommend a non nokia alternative...
Anyone considering a phone has to avoid a nokia 6500 slide.

From what you have read, same situation with the 6500 Classic?
I was going to get that one?
Thnx

Applescript Bugs and problems - are these known?

Ok, this stems from my post over at http://bbs.macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?pid=101473
Is it just me or is applescript a little buggered on Leopard? I've got 10.5.4 and trying to run up some simple scripts. However I've run into problems including:
- the DELAY command stops the script altogether.
- scripts to send off MAIL stop completely after sending the seventh mail.
Is anyone else experiencing this sort of problem?

From reading that other thread I don't think you're having a problem with AppleScript, I think you're having problems with Mail and Folder Actions. AppleScript is just a means of sending AppleEvents to applications. What those applications then choose to do with those events is entirely up to them, and in Mail's case, it drops the ball pretty often.
delay does not terminate a script's execution for me. The following will run indefinitely as expected:
repeat while true
delay 5
end repeat

IPhone SDK - post bugs and problems with the Firmware...

So far I'm noticing issues with the 2.0(5A225c) build of the OS.
Everything is much slower than it used to be for one. I have a simple UIViewController with a table with only 9 text elements. It doesn't even fill the screen and it scrolls like a snail. My app runs so slow, but I can't tell if it's a performance issue in my app, or a debug firmware. Even the slider to unlock is slow and so is scrolling in all OS menus.
I also noticed in Contacts that the fast slider on the right appears but does not respond to touches. So much for actually using my phone for the next few months. I hope they fix some of this stuff soon.
Anyone else noticing issues?

What a relief! I can also confirm that this build is very slow. I am writing a game called Trism (www.demiforce.com for info) which makes use of layered UIImageViews for the game pieces, scoring, borders, and so on. When beta 2 arrived, I got really disheartened because suddenly everything was moving much more slowly. I initially thought the slowdown was because of some fault in my code, which led me to learn some lower-level CoreAnimation and Quartz stuff, which has got the speed back around where it was originally.
We can only hope the slowdown is due to new features of the OS needing to be tightened up a bit, and not as a sign of things to come. Nevertheless, I encourage other developers out there to take a look at using different implementations if need be. Specifically, if your views or text labels don't require the heavy animatable features of the UIView class, try taking a look at using the lower-level CALayer class and see if that helps your performance.

When I enable imatch on my iPhone 4s it takes approximately 30 minutes before other data fills 13.2gb of usable data. This problem does not occur when I manually sync music to my phone. Is this a common bug, and if so; is there a fix?

yes it is. you can sign out of itunes account then sign back in. use http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311 to sign out.

A few feature requests and problems

This mail is going to have several requests for improvement on the Oracle Help for Java platform. Lest anybody think I'm just complaining, let me say that in general I have been very happy with OHJ. We (ANSYS, Inc: http://www.ansys.com) use it as the online help system for a series of engineering simulation software products which we have been developing and marketing for over twenty years. We support about a dozen platforms and have a very large documentation set and OHJ is the only online help system we have encountered that gives us reasonable performance and the features we need. So far as we can tell, it is the best cross-platform online help system available.
That said, we have encountered a few minor problems which we would like to have addressed. I have already tried sending this to the support email address ([email protected], or something like that), but the mail is always returned with a message about internal lists not being available to outside users. (Another user complained about this in a prior thread)
1) We have two applications which run in tandem and access the same instance of OHJ. The documentation is contained in two different helpsets, and we want to keep the helpsets separate to the user, so we have set the combineBooks parameter to "false." When the user requests help, however, the Table of Contents pane is not updated to match the helpset in which they requested help. Could the showTopic(Book book, java.lang.String topicID) method be modified to call the showNavigatorWindow(Book activeBook) method if necessary? (i.e. if the navigator window is currently visible and set to a different book object)
2) Similarly, could the NavigatorWindow be updated if we follow a hyperlink into another book?
3) On the Windows platform, the Help window doesn't come to the top / gain focus when the user requests help for the first time
4) When using "dockedByDefault", the control over window size and position we had with the <wintype> tag is lost. That is, when docked, the window (navigator + content) always comes up in a fixed pixel by pixel dimension at the center of the screen. I use a high resolution screen, and the result is that I always have to resize the help window to read the content. I expect that some of our users will have similar high resolution screens. (we cater to the world of CAD). Could we have more control over the window size in docked mode, or at least have the default size relative to screen resolution in the same way we could set the wintype to 60% width and 60% height to fill a good portion of the user's screen?
5) Have the OHJ developers (or anyone else) looked closely at memory usage? I'm using up to 70MB of RAM for a run of the help system, and I'm just waiting for users' complaints on that one. I realize this is a trade-off that you often have to simply accept with Java-based technologies, and I'm not all that upset about it. However, if we could gain the user 10 or 20 more MB of RAM, that would be something.
6) Is there any way to combine some books and not others? (This is really grasping at straws. Feel free to simply say "no, and there never will be")
7) The documentation refers to the capability of customizing the toolbar for different wintypes. I haven't been able to do this for the default wintype.
The remaining few problems have to do with printing. These are really trivial issues from my point of view, as our official policy is that we don't support printing from the help system. (We provide PDF's of the manuals for people wanting hardcopy) However, they would still be nice to fix:
1) Printed hyperlink text often overlaps neighboring text
2) Ignoring background color when printing requires that we use media rules in our CSS. Could you ignore the background by default when printing?
3) In our Table of Contents, we have tree nodes that point to subheadings in a file, so it ends up that a single file will have multiple entries in the Table of Contents. When using the "Print Topics" feature, the entire file is printed for each of these nodes. Could the Print Topics feature keep track of which HTML files it prints, and print each one only once?
Again, I apologize for the many complaints (really suggestions) raised in this single post. These have been building up for a while, but between the previous state of this mailing list (completely overrun by people wanting general Java information) and the mail server errors at the only e-mail address I could find, this list just kept growing, based on our internal usage and testing. The truth is, I am very satisfied with OHJ, and am happy to find a cross-platform help system other than Sun's JavaHelp (which was way too slow for us last time I checked). Please consider this a detailed field test of OHJ 4.1.12.
Thanks for any help and attention to these concerns,

Wow, that's a lot! I have tried to answer all of your concerns. Here goes!
Problems with the mailing list
We're working on restoring the ability to send messages to our mailing list for external users. We'll post on this forum after we get that working again. Sorry about that.
1 and 2) Automatic switching of active book when showing topic
OHJ does not (by design) automatically switch the active book when a topic is displayed, whether it is from a CSH request or by following a link.
3) Help doesn't come to top
I cant reproduce this with OHJ 4.1.12 on Windows 2000. What OHJ and OS versions are you running? What options are you using on your Help object? Can you post some way to reproduce it?
4) dockedByDefault causes OHJ to ignore wintypes size
I reproduced the fact that OHJ ignores the wintypes size parameters when dockedByDefault is set to true. I have filed this as a bug; the height and width parameters should set the size of the content pane even if docked by default. The location parameters, on the other hand, are not supported when dockedByDefault.
5) Have the OHJ developers (or anyone else) looked closely at memory usage?
We certainly have looked closely at memory usage, but unfortunately this is not a problem with easy answers! :) Partially its due to the overhead Java imposes, and partially its a function of the size of your help contents metadata the number of entries you have in your keyword indices, TOCs, and (to a lesser degree) topic maps. So, the more you can remove entries from these files, the smaller OHJs memory footprint will be. (Note that you can have as many HTML files as you like; these dont stay in memory!)
6) Is there any way to combine some books and not others?
Sure. To combine books a.hs, b.hs and c.hs, you can create a master help set (master.hs) with these contents:
<helpset>
   . . . various helpset parameters here . . .
   <subhelpset location="a.hs" />
   <subhelpset location="b.hs" />
   <subhelpset location="c.hs" />
</helpset>Then instead of loading the books individually, just load master.hs.
See the docs for subhelpset in the Oracle Help guide at http://otn.oracle.com/ohguide/help.
7) Customizing the toolbar
Though we have documented syntax to support customizing the toolbar for a window type, OHJ does not currently implement this.
printing 1) Printed hyperlink text often overlaps neighboring text
This is an ICE problem, and we are waiting on a fix from them. Sorry about that. Out of curiosity, have you tried it on various printers/OSs/JDKs? Weve found some work better than others. Id be curious whether JDK 1.4 was any better.
printing 2) Ignoring background color when printing
You can disable printing background colors by doing the following in your code:
System.setProperty("ice.pilots.html4.printBackground", "false");
printing 3) Printing multiple copies of topics in same HTML file
Yep, this is a bug, and it is logged.
Thanks for all your comments, and were glad that you like the product.

N97 Bugs ant problems...

Dear forum members...
I have been used N97 RM505 for couple of months.
I bought it brand new with 3 generations old fw.
My problems with the phone started then! Very disappointing and embarrassing for Nokia, to be honest.
Since I consider myself "power user", I have never had smartphone or pocket PC so I could use it as phone or music player. I have always wanted to use phone as mobile computer so I aimed hi-tech products (7-8 years ago) from manufacturers like HTC, HP...half year ago I fell in love with Nokia E71 smartphone, and that was my first Symbian powered gadget. I was very interested in how "symbians" do it. And I was surprised how it worked. But, I wanted more. I gave E71 as present and decided to go for N97, flagship Nokia device.
And then, problems started to show up...
3 FW updates from that moment, and problems I have with this...device..do not disappear!
Same things happen all over again!
I read about particular issues and there are many of them, that's for sure.
My problem is simple: I have all of them!
Main camera works from time to time, after I answer the call I cant unlock the phone, freezes during boot sequence, left side of display in landscape mode dissapears, phone "kind of soft-restarts" every day or two and after that I have to reconfigure my email settings all over again, speed dial and favorite contacts lose pictures, contacts or group assigned ringtones mess up...
Phone has to be rebooted using "battery-pulled-out" method at least 3 times a day!
Tried everything: formatting, reinstalling device's FW, hard-resetting, FW upgrading...
Every time I format memory or hard-reset the phone i hope that will be last time!
But, nothing happens. Phone works well for a couple of hours. Phone call and it gets stuck, and i start all over again...when I come home.
I work as industrial automation software developer and, believe me, i know what "faulty device" means.
I know Nokia's origins, and I know that Finland is cradle of mobile communications, I have visited couple of companies in Finland that produce very reliable digital radio devices and I am familiar how professional they are up there...Every bug I have found in devices produced and developed in Finland was reported and problems were solved in couple of weeks or so! This does not fit in my experience with Nokia. E71 is outstanding device. I am sorry because I switched it for this "flagship phone" or, even worse, "mobile computer".
Bottom line:
Phone is not reliable, especially if you want to use it as multipurpose device!
Calling this device "Nokia flagship phone" is very wrong.
I am gonna wait for couple of weeks for new FW since it is not still available for rm505 officially, and after that I'll do something bad with this phone.
Technical support in my country is more than "unprofessional" and problem solving does not consist of turning off and turning on the phone or continuous reinstalling FW, as they do it.
My Question: Anything similar happened to anybody, and what I should do?
Thanks for advices. Forget technical support or local repair centre.
Cheers!

Yeah...
Thanks for the tips, carman58. I have already managed to try all different combinations and procedures for getting my phone to work including your recommendations.
As I told you before...after formatting E-drive, reinstalling phone software and hard resetting things went pretty well...until something happens. Week or two...day or two of heavy usage and I can't unlock device after phone call...Or main camera fails. Or, sometimes I just can't turn it on. White screen and stuff like that. 3-4 days before I decided to post on this forum I conducted procedure similar to the one recommended by carman58. I tried to conclude "critical amount of free space on C drive" that affects phone's stability. Phone works well (but I want it to work better than that) with 40-50 MB of free space on C drive. Anything below that level does not guarantee your phone will work well. Memory allocation may be the key...Not my job, just trying to conclude something logical.
I am not fan of third party software that watches RAM or CPU usage...Bad experience with Windows mobile devices, but I'll try to see somehow if there's not enough memory when s**t happen.
And, yes...There are some apps that definitely do not free allocated memory after program is closed or even crashed. I am not going to name these apps, just want to know forum members experience with remote desktop management software compatible with N97. Hahaha!...In ths very moment I found out that my phone is not charging although it is connected to the charger! Never mind...Maybe notification does not work.
Is there Nokia's official explanation for problems with N97? They can't deny problems. I mean, if you are not heavy user, or power-user....whatever....maybe you won't have problems we are dealing with?
And then, what's the point of 400MHz cpu clock, and great amount of RAM? It is there so we can watch video clips, take pictures, or surf the web? Yes but not all of that at the same time...
Multitasking is what devices like N97 should eat for lunch, if you know what I mean. Memory management should not be like this...3rd party apps for monitoring and flushing RAM. No way.
I know how hard it is to develop device that has all of these functions N97 has. So many hardware modules in such small housing, powered by such small power source...That's hell of a job!
If it is true, then my device should still have "beta" somewhere around "N97". I am not going to mention how much money N97 costs...

Java PDK Bugs and Issues

Here are some bugs and issues I've run across using the JPDK that I thought other
developers should be aware of. The following information comes from using JPDK
1.1 with Oracle Portal Version 3.0.6.3.3 Early Adopter on Windows 2000.
1) Do not use a colon character (':') in the String value returned by the method getTitle( Locale l ) in the class Portlet. Registering the provider will appear to succeed, but when you view the Portlet Repository you will get the following error message:
An Unhandled Exception has occurred. ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error:
character to number conversion error
Your provider and its portlets will not appear in the Portlet Repository when this error occurs.
Perhaps other characters will cause this error as well.
2) The Provider class method initSession() is supposed to propagate the array of returned Cookies back to the browser. The Cookies are never propagated to the browser. This is a huge road-block for our application and we need to have this problem fixed as there is no workaround.
3) There is a limit to the number of portlets you can have per provider. I initially wrote a provider class that managed 19 portlet classes. However, after registering the provider only 17 portlet classes were loaded by the provider and/or displayed by the Portlet Repository. I had to create a second provider to manage additional portlets. The second provider worked out fine for me because I have 5 portlets that are for "administrator" users only. Moving these portlets left 14 portlets for the first provider to manage.
Note: I don't know if this error occurs using the provider.xml method of implementing a provider and its portlets. My provider and portlets are implemented directly using the Java class API's.
4) Sometimes I will receive the error "Meta data missing for portlet ID=<number>" when a portlet is rendered for the first time. This error does not occur often but when the error happens two conditions are met:
a) The portlet is being rendered for the first time
b) The HTTP and Web Assistant NT services have recently been started.
This error is obviously caused by some timeout but increasing the timeout values
for both the provider and the portlet has no effect. This error may be restricted to the NT platform.
The following notes are not bugs but issues to be aware of:
1) Make sure you have the "sessiontimeout" parameter defined when declaring the initArgs of a servlet in the zone.properties file and you intend to register your provider with a "Login Frequency" of "Once per User Session". For example:
servlet.urlservlet.initArgs=debuglevel=1,sessiontimeout=1800000
If you leave off the session timeout, Oracle Portal will call your provider's initSession() method for every request constantly generating new a session ID.
2) Currently there is no means to check whether a ProviderUser has administrative
privileges. This feature would be extremely helpful for restricting which portlets a user has access to when the provider's getPortlets() method is called.
3) Currently there is no Java API for storing user and global preferences in the
Oracle database. The JPDK provides a PersonalizationManager class but the method
of storing the preferences needs to be implemented by the developer.
The default Personalization Manager persists user preferences as a file
to disk. However, this method opens up security holes and hinders scaleability.
We got around the security and scalability issues by using Oracle's JDBC
driver to persist user and global preferences to custom tables in the underlying Oracle database.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has run across the cookie propagation issue and has any further insights.
Thanks...
Dave White

David,
Thank you for your feedback on the JPDK. The information you provide helps us understand how customers are using 9iAS
Portal and its development kits. I apologize for the delay in getting back with you. Since you are using the Early Adopters
release, we wanted to test a few of the bugs and issues on the production release of 9iAS Portal.
1) Using a colon character (:) in the String value returned by the method getTitle(Locale l) returned the ORA-06502 error is a
known issue. This issue actually occurs within 9iAS Portal and should be resolved in the first maintenance release scheduled
for 9iAS Portal.
Waiting on reply from Nilay on #1
2) The Provider class method initSession() not propagating the array of returned cookies back to the browser is an issue that we are currently working on. This bug has been fixed for most cases in the first maintenance release. A 100% fix of this issue is still being worked on.
3) The limit to the number of portlets you can have per provider was an issue in the Early Adopter release, but is no longer an issue with 9iAS Portal production. Upgrade to the production release and you should no longer see this problem.
4) The error "Meta data missing for portlet ID=<number>". I have not seen or heard about others receiving this same message. For this error, can you upgrade to the production version and let me know if you still receive this error message. At that time we can check for differences within the configuration.
Not bug, but issues......
1) You have made a good point with the sessiontimeout parameter. The JPDK uses servlet 2.0 APIs which does not provide access to the sessiontimeout. Currently, you will need to specify the sessiontimeout parameter in the zone.properties file.
2) This is true. Currently there is no means to check whether a ProviderUser has administrative privileges. This is on our features list for future enhancements.
3) This is also true. The DefaultPortletPersonalizationManager was created as a default runtime for developers not used to writing portlet code. It allows developers to write portlet code without concentrating on the underlying framework. Once a developer becomes more experienced with the JPDK and portlet environment, we encourage them to create their own
customization manager. This includes changing how the portlet repository is stored or changing how the user customization is
handled and where it is stored. You have no limitations as long as you follow the guidelines of the PortletPersonalizationManager interface.
I hope this information helped. Again, we appreciate and welcome this type of feedback, it helps us not only locate bugs and issues, but also helps prioritize our enhancement list.

N80: Feeds Client bug and possible solution

Hi everyone,
I've found what appears to be a bug in Feeds Client V. 3.0(0529) in my Nokia N80 Internet Edition.
I've added a couple of feeds when connecting to a WLAN, but when I tried to read those feeds again, this time away from that WLAN range, it didn't even gave me the choice of network connection: it just tried to go back to the same connection without asking.
I deleted that network's entry in Tools->Network->Access points. Because I only had two feed address saved, I've also deleted them.
But this time the phone didn't even allow me to go into the Feeds folder!
What appeared to solve the bug was something like this.
1) Create a new bookmark with the feed address (e.g. Google News). You can delete it later.
2) Start browsing the feed. Your browser should ask what is the network to use, if you've configured that way.
3) You get the feed list, hopefully. If you choose Back, the mobile will show the feed list you've saved (in my case, only the feed I'm reading because I've previously deleted all of them).
This seemed to do it. If you want to be sure, save the new feed in the Feeds folder again, and delete the previous feed.
Hopefully this will allow you to go around the bug and let the Feeds Client think it should access the network connection you want. The problem is, it still only lets you read the feeds through the network connection you've selected!
Regards,
J.B.

A better test would be to move one at a time (Desktop folder) until you find the codec causing the trouble.
Two of my guesses:
Out of date DivX
VLC plug-in

Captivate 7 - The Exit Bug and a Solution

Hey Everyone,
I wanted to take a second and share some good information I found in regards to SCORM and the Exit functionality in Captivate 7. Below is the blog post that shows how to make the Adobe Exit functionality "SCORM Compliant" and solved my issues when uploading my project and getting them to exit. Hope this helps
Captivate 7, Exit Bug and a Solution
Several of our Inquisiq R3 users have alerted us to the fact that courses developed with Captivate 7 published to HTML5 and SWF do not close properly when using the “Exit” button, forcing the user instead to manually close the browser window by clicking the “X” in the upper-right corner of the browser window.
Through our investigation into this issue, it appears that the process that Adobe has implemented when clicking the “Exit” button is to simply attempt to close the content window and rely on the LMS to capture and commit the session data. Nowhere did we see that the content was actually calling the “LMSFinish()” [SCORM 1.2] or “Terminate()” [SCORM 2004] methods in the LMS’s SCORM API to commit the lesson data to the LMS as required by the SCORM specification.
Adobe uses their own defined function, “DoCPExit,” to close a lesson window. This method contains a “window.close()” call and additional logic to “bubble up” the command through the frame parents (if they exist and also contain the “DoCPExit” method - presumably because they would also be Adobe-published content files within your package).
There are several flaws to this approach.
By not calling “LMSFinish()” or “Terminate(),” the content is, by definition, not SCORM conformant. Part of the minimum requirements for conformance are that the content calls the initialization method “LMSInitialize()” in SCORM 1.2 or “Initialize()” in SCORM 2004 and the termination method “LMSFinish()” in SCORM 1.2 or “Terminate()” in SCORM 2004. The LMS is not required to clean up the data left behind when the content fails to make this call. So if your LMS doesn’t take this additional step (of setting ‘LMSFinish’ or ‘Terminate’ if the lesson does not), your data will be completely lost…i.e. no record of you taking the lesson will be recorded.
The call to close the browser window will fail if the LMS is running the content within a frame or iframe. Since the SCORM specification allows content to be launched in frames or iframes (in addition to new browser windows), lessons need to be able to accommodate this scenario. Even with the “bubble up” logic, once the call reaches the top most content window, and the next parent window in line is the LMS container page, the call will no longer be passed and a “window.close()” call will be fired within the framed page. When this call is made, nothing will happen as a framed page cannot close the browser window using this command. Through our investigation, we’ve learned that at least 4 other well-known LMSs have experienced this particular issue.
Ironically, the solution that we’ve discovered is not only SCORM conformant, but also very simple and follows what we would consider to be SCORM “best practices”. The foundation and logic for the solution is already contained within the published Captivate files (and it is the same solution whether you publish to SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004).
We simply modify the “DoCPExit” method that is contained within the “Utilities.js” file to call the “Finish()” method. Just replace all the code appearing between the “{“and the “}” as you see here:
function DoCPExit(){ Finish();
The “Finish()” method that we have inserted is, as mentioned, already contained within the published Captivate files and contains the logic to properly set the exit parameters and correctly identify whether the content is SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004; it will therefore make a call to the correct close method (“LMSFinish()” or “Terminate()”) accordingly. Once the LMS has received this command, it should take care of removing the content properly, leaving no need for any “bubble-up” logic or window close calls within the content code.
Overall, if the lessons you develop with Captivate 7 work as expected and required in your LMS, there is no need to implement this change. However, if your lesson’s Exit button is not working as it should, and/or you are losing progress and status data when closing the lesson, the fix described here should resolve all those issues.
The biggest issue here is that since we’re changing published code, the next time you update and publish that same Captivate project, you have to remember to change that published function code AGAIN, as Captivate will simply publish the default code.
We have been in touch with the Captivate team to discuss this problem and they are investigating. We would hope a patch to address this flaw would be released in the near future

Try clearing out your project cache (Preferences > General > Clear Cache) then republish using the option to Force Republish All Slides.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, you may be seeing the early stages of project file corruption. Check the suggestions in this post about troubleshooting issues where you may need to copy all slides to a new blank project shell to try and strip out corruption:

When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved.I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

It was pointed out that my links do not function correctly on Firefox on a Windows platform. When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved! I have now observed it for myself on my fathers PC running Windows XP on Firefox.My PC is on Windows7
It is the 5 version of Firefox, so I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

IOS 8 bugs and fails

hello, I got the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB and plugget it to iTunes and restored from backup of my previous iphone 5s...
the first 3 months it was okay bit when my iPhone started filling the bugs started to appear and one after one until they became
a big number :
-while scrolling in a web page you accidentally tap on text or maybe even you want to copy... the selection of the txt gets stuck and the options baths gong there and it doesn't go away no matter what you do.
-i tap on app to open it, the icon of the app (it can be any app you choose) before the app launches the icon of the app fills the screen for three seconds and then the app opens.
--random restars
-Notification Center sometimes doesn't slide down its just as if it's not there..and also the pref pane doesn't slide up. You have to reset to fix it.
-facetime hangs after call, doesn't hang up nor does anything else until you reset your iPhone
-60FPS setting on iPhone 6 plus when enabled it causes the camera to freeze while switching between shooting modes.
-ramdom apps crash randomly
-i change the wallpaper (lock screen) and go there and fin the lock screen is black
-icons get mixed up in a chaotic way after downloading new apps
and the list goes on i'lol post the rest when I remember them, iOS 8 full of bugs and I've been thinking to do a clean instal of iOS but I can't because I have to renter my mass words and I have 128gb of contents to restore back... And it's too much work and tooIchya time and it's not guaranteed that is s will work...

I followed these instructions to do the downgrade to 8.2 - worked fine, and restored my ability to use the iPad. Of course, it still keeps asking me to upgrade, so the real problem isn't solved:

Email notification of bugs and hotfixes?

Is there a Sun mailing list for directory related bugs and hotfixes? I have uncovered bugs before only to discover Sun already has a hotfix. Save me a lot of time if Sun had just notified me.

Actually I find code examples for LDAP readily available and the documentation that goes along with the product very good. The issue here is that a bug list is not available, not that the products support is bad.
In addition if your sole purpose here is to recommend switching to another product then I suggest you would be better off on another forum. This forum is to provide support for people with problems and questions, not to drum up support for other products.

How can iOS5 be a software bug and only effect some iPhones?

How can IOS 5 be a software bug and not effect every device running that firmware? Could it be a hardware issue? Has anyone noticed in Settings>About>Diagnostics there are loads more logs about crashing/low memory/ and many others since IOS5?

It probably has something to do with settings. I haven't had any battery drain issue on my 4S (which started out with settings I restored from a backup of my iPhone 3G), but I had extremely rapid drain on my iPad 1 when I upgraded to iOS 5. I figured out quite quickly that it was the auto time zone support, and turning it off made things basically perfect again. I suspect it might be because I was previously using iOS4 on the iPad, and some setting or something was creating the problem, which was absent on the iPhone.
Of course, that's pure speculation— if Apple has it figured out, they could choose to transparently explain what exactly the bug was (though I suspect we won't get any details like that)
