Can't Save Custom Columns in Effects Tab?

In the now archived thread at
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5264320&#5264320>
Jerry Hoffman and D. Gilmore describe how to right-click on a column in the Browser (other than the Name column) and then choose the Save Column Layout option, which is exactly what I'm wanting to do. Weird thing though is when I try to do this for the custom column layout I've created under my Browser's Effects tab, that "Save Column Layout..." option is greyed out, along with most of the others as well.
Under the Project tab, I can Save and Load column layouts to my heart's content, but under the Effects tab, the only options which AREN'T greyed out when I right-click on a column heading (any column heading) are Hide Column (at the top) and Show Thumbnail (at the bottom). The other five in between (including Save Column Layout) are inaccessible.
Am using 6.0.2 with OS X 10.5.2. Any theories?
Bonus Question:
Is there any way to make a custom column layout in the Browser be part of a custom window arrangement, so that when I select one of my custom window arrangements FCP will load my preferred Browser column layout at the same time?
Thanks,
John Bertram

Thanks to both Jerry and Doug for that confirmation -- albeit not the one I was hoping for!
And though it may come as a surprise, I did indeed create a custom layout of the Effects tab columns: with my Browser window over on a separate monitor, I like to have the Name column set wider (so the full names of all my Nattress FX are visible), then the Description column first (also set wider so I can actually see what the description says), and then my own Comments column immediately following that.
Despite the limited number of info columns in that Effects tab, it does seem odd that they would implement a Save Column Layout option in other Browser tabs, while then displaying it but not actually implementing it in this one tab.
So along with making custom column layouts part of custom window arrangements, I guess it's time I sent in yet another Feature Request to the friendly folks at FCP Feedback.
In any case, thanks again for the confirmation that at least my system wasn't doing something weird.

Can't save custom templates in DVDSP 4

I cannot seem to create and save custom templates. When I try, I get a variety of error messages, such as "no audio asset" or "cannot connect to blah blah asset" or I get no message at all--it just doesn't save. To confirm, there is no new template in the Custom tab, nor is there any new file in the appropriate folder under App Support.
This happens whether I create from scratch or alter an Apple template as a test.
I am the only user of this computer and log on as an administrator, although I gather this was only an issue with previous versions anyway.
I have a couple of older menu templates that I created and saved from the previous version of DVD Studio Pro before upgrading to 4, so I know I've done it before. These templates show up in the Custom Tab in DVDSP4 as well as in the folder for templates under my user hierarchy.
I suppose a workaround would be to save a menu as a Project template and just open that for each new project, "saving as" or not saving changes at all to preserve the "template," but I'd rather the software work as it should. I intend to build several Menu templates for use in recurring projects with different departments at my place of work.
Any suggestions?

This might have something to do with user profiles. I have now created a brand new standard user. No admin privileges. Logged on as this Test user, I am able to create new templates, modify existing ones, etc., and all of them are saved properly. The new templates show up under the Custom tab, as well as in the templates folder under user Test's application support folder.
For some reason, I just can't get DVDSP 4 to behave when I'm logged in as my Admin account.
To recap...when I try to modify an existing Apple template and save it, I get the following error message "Can't Create Template. No audio asset found."
This happens the first time I try to save, and if I try again (whether or not I make a change) the program gives me no message at all--just doesn't save it.
Arrggghhhh.

Can I save custom crop values?

Is it possible to save custom crops to ACR 2.1.1.9 ?
I have a client who needs event images cropped to 1056px x 594px to use in Intranet presentations displayed on large monitors in their hallways.
I use 10.56 x 5.94 in the custom crop in ACR to do this. But whenever I crop an image to another size (ones that might go in their newsletter) I lose the custom setting and have to re-enter again and again to 10.56 x 5.94.
I typically process a few hundred 'candidates' from their events (2-3 per month) and the image dimensions never change. Is there a way to add this custom crop value to the choices in the pull-down list?
Thanks
Russell

That seems a good suggestion for the future request.
Meantime I believe you can only do this in PSCS using the tool presets

Can I save custom export settings in QuickTime Pro?

I'm using QuickTime Pro a lot to export/convert many different projects, but every time I need to change the export settings, because there is no way to save them inside QuickTime
I've found a description on how to do it wil Apple Script: http://lists.apple.com/archives/QuickTime-Users/2002/Nov/msg00295.html
But the problem is that it needs to run also Apple script to actually perform the export, and I don't want it - I'm not a scripter, and I need the settings to be easy to load.
I thoigh there is some prefs folder, where QT actually stores those default presets, where I can put some custom ones, but I didn't find such a folder...
Is there any way to do it?
Thanks

QuickTime can only view WMP (Windows Media Player) files with third party software help:
http://flip4mac.com
To use Pro to export these files to QuickTime formats you'll need to pay for the upgrades at Flip4Mac.
Not all WMP files are supported.

Can't set custom column widths in JTable

I'm trying to set custom columns widths. They are set as I wish but then they are reset to default values (all columns have the same size). This is caused by method JFrame.setVisible(true) which invokes JTree.setWidthsFromPreferredWidths(). It can be investigated from following stack trace printed when a column being resized (see below).
How to prevent this auto width sizing?
P.S. can't override JTable.setWidthsFromPreferredWidths(); seems it's private
table = new JTable(model) {
     public void columnMarginChanged(ChangeEvent event) {
          new Exception("stack trace").printStackTrace();
          super.columnMarginChanged(event);

When I create the table I have code like this:TableColumn col = getColumnModel().getColumn(2);
col.setMinWidth(width + 4);
col.setMaxWidth((int)(width * 1.2));Works just fine for me. The setWidthsFromPreferredWidths() method will use these limits as far as I can see.

Can I save the configuration of a tabbed finder window?

So I've spent five minutes organising a finder window with tabs giving me access to all my most useful folders and am thinking that I really like this new tabbed finder business. I then close the finder window and when I then open a new finder window, it has reverted back to a single tab and I have lost my nice tabbed arrangement.
Is there anyway to save the arrangement of a tabbed finder window so that it opens like that by default?
Thanks

Oke. Checked the user credentials again and now i got a configuration backup.
So no problem!
Cheers,

How do I print on a greeting card in landscape when I can't save custom paper size?

I have a J6450 running on XP SP3 with the latest drivers and patches installed. I have greeting card stock measuring 6.5 by 10.0 inches and a Microsoft Word document with a custom paper size matching the that stock prints in landscape mode. The printer error is "Paper Mistmatch. Paper size or type is incorrect." I have followed the suggestions on the HP support page, changing the Print, Properties, Features options to show "Other greeting card", but can't define a custom paper size to match the stock. The Save option is not available. What do I need to do to make this work?

Here is a link to a HP document for adjusting several settings that may help with your issue.

Feature Request: Can I save all of my open tabs to some kind of template file so I can re-open all of my tabs at once at a later time from somewhere else?

I'm currently reading 10~15 tabs of pages, and I'd like to take them with me on the road, so I can finish reading all the contents at a later date/place/machine. Is there someway to just save my tabs to like a file, then email it to myself and goto another computer with firefox and run that file and go back to reading all the websites and links I'm currently browsing?

Perhaps the easiest and most reliable way to do this is to use the Session Manager extension. It allows you to easily recover your previously opened tabs from a crashed Firefox session, but it also has a very nice "Session Save" option, which allows you to save all your open tabs to a single very small file, and open it again from any Firefox that has Session Manager installed. I just used this to save my open tabs from before a reformat into my fresh install of Windows.
Another option is using Firefox Sync, but it is best if you only use it on PCs you own, otherwise you could end up syncing your passwords and bookmarks and open tabs onto someone else's computer where they might do who knows what.

How can I save JTable column order and widths?

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to save the current column order and widths in a JTable, so that the next time the same user runs the app I can use these same settings. Ideally I'd like to save this locally on the user's PC. I think it could probably be done with serialization, but hopefully there's a simple solution. Anyone else already tackled this?

The JTableHeader class can give you all the information you through the various TableColumns.
I simply save all this information to a properties file which looks somthing like this
# Column Information
total=3
column0=Names,120
column1=Dates,140
column2=Status,110This can then be read back using a java.util..Properties object. With this information you'll need to manually set the properties of each TableColumn and use the column model to move the columns to the right position ie
cmodel.moveColumn(0,2); // move column 0 to positon 2This requires a little bit more coding to properly do the comparism of the column names with those in the properties object.
Tip: it is always easier to use the above format, ie column0, column1, column2, etc, so that you can easily use a loop to access the information form the properties object ie
int total = Integer.parseInt( prop.getProperty("total") );
for(int i = 0; i < total; i++) {
String cname = prop.getProperty("column" + i);
/// the rest of the TableColumn formatting could go here
}All the best.

How can I save transparency/inner glow effects when exporting to jpg?

I'm very new to InDesign. I increased the noise levels in inner glow in 'Effects' to create a textured look to my document (I wanted a paper texture and found this method on Google) but when I exported to pdf or jpg, I realized that my transparency effects completely disappeared. I checked my export settings and the flattening tool has been set to default.
Can someone help me understand what I should do to export that textured effect please?
Thank you!

Export to JPG has never been all that great and stopped trying it a long
time ago. Export to PDF and open that in Photoshop.

PE 4.0 can you save custom layer styles?

How do you create your own layer styles and make them available in the layer styles palette? Is there a way to do it with Elements?
For example, if you have your bevels, your shadows, your inner & outer glows, all set up just the way you want them, and you'd like to re-use them in the future in other compositions, then it would be useful to be able to save your layer style.

Hi there Patrick,
Using Photoshop it is possible to create and save your own layer styles but this isn't possible in Elements ... what you could do is save the layer in a file of its own then drag and drop it into your new image and do
Layer>Layer Style>Copy Layer Style
Layer>Layer Style>Paste Layer Style
Then discard the old layer ..
Long way round but it sort of works ... well providing the sizes, resolutions etc are similar...

Browser/Effects tab problem

I accidentally closed my browser tab. I got it back, but now I can get the browser and the effects tabs to show up at the same time so I can easily switch back and forth.
I've tried trashing preferences, arrange selections but can't figure it out.
Is there a quick fix?
Thanks

Drag the effects tab next to the project tab so it snaps to it. Or trash your preferences. If that didn'd do it you didn't trash the prefs correctly.

Or I'm misunderstanding the question.

I can't find the effects tab!

I'm using 10.0.1 Garageband and need to change the pitch of my voice to make it lower! I can't find the effects tab no matter what I do! Where can I add and edit custom effects? In the previous GB I could just go to Info then Effects. I can't find this to save my life. Can anyone help me?

The AuPitch filter is really versatile, but you may need toadjust the Formant as well. Then you need to use a patch for your vocal track that has a vocal transformer.
You will find the old GrarageBand patches with predefined filters and track effects in the "Legacy" section of the GarageBand Instrument library.
If you use the patch "Legacy > GarageBand > Vocals > Deeper Vocals" you will see a Vocal Transformer, if you open the Smart Controls for thee Track. There you can adjust the Pitch and the Formant.
