Cannot select layer when there is a Path

CS6 Windows
I am unable to select the layer to transform it when I have a path created. The only way I can select the layer is to delete the path.
Must be something simple but cannot figure it out
Please help this relative PS newb

Not a problem.
When something does not work, as I anticipate it to in PS, I start looking for what else I might have selected, or what else is active.
I often forget that I have a Selection, which I've Hidden, and then many of my Tools just do not function (unless I happen to be using them in that Hidden Selection).
I also find that I will create a Text Layer, and then go to Stroke, or Fill a Path - grayed out - until I either make a regular Layer Active, or create a new regular Layer, as DrStrik9 points out. Happens to me about once per week.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

Cannot select name when creating new DC

Hi all,
It seems I encounter this kind of problems over and over again when dealing with NWDI )-:
In this thread Cannot select vendor when creating new DC I couldn't select vendor.
I installed a new NWDI system (version is 7.18), did all the post installation steps including the configuration of a name server on the SLD but I cannot select "name" and the vendor I entered is not shown (even if enter it manually I cannot select name so it doesn't help - see snapshot).
[snapshot|http://img134.imageshack.us/i/nwdi.jpg/]
Snapshot: http://img134.imageshack.us/i/nwdi.jpg/
I did name server config on : http://server:port/dtr/system-tools/administration/NameServerConfiguration
Name prefixes are defined under 'Name Reservation -> Development Component Name' - I used <x.y>/* and <x.y>/tst (x.y is namespace like com.omri).
I updated CMS after setting the name server, restart J2EE and did all kind of voodoo without success.
I use local SLD which is part of the J2EE.
I don't get any error messages (from NWDI/SLD/NWDS).
I don't remember this kind of problem with NWDI on 6.40 versions.
Moreover I installed and configured several systems on 7.12 & 7.13 versions without any problems but with 7.14 & 7.18 I've problem with setting the name server...
Please help,
Thanks,
Omri

Solved it on my own by deleting and creating the track again (with the same settings!!!)

'Control Click' to select layer when inside a group?

You can hold the [Ctrl] key and click something in your document to select its layer. If however you click something that is inside a group, the whole group is selected. Is there a way around this other than right clicking it and choosing its layer from the context menu?

You know I’ve never used that, i had some old graphic software back in the early 90's that worked like that. Thanks for pointing it out.
Unfortunately it still selects the whole group, when you click a layer contained in a group (which technically is the point of a group though)

Layers palette "jumps" to currently selected layer when turning off...

When a layer in the layers palette is selected - which I guess means when an object is selected - if I scroll the palette to another location and click the eyeball to hide a different layer, the palette jumps back up to the active layer. Really inconvenient when I want to disable one layer and enable another. I guess I can remember to enable first, then disable - the enabling causes the chosen layer to become the current active layer, so as long as the both layers I'm changing visibility on are near each other there's no jump in the palette.
Is this a beta app or what?

Howdy.
Where are you clicking on the layer?
Did you try to reset your preferences by holding CTRL+ALT+Shift as soon as your start Photoshop?

LOV selection fails when there are validation errors on the base page

Hi
I have lovs and some other required fields on a page . If there are any validation error on one of those text fields and if I open the LOV (not related to the text fields) and tries to select
an item from the LOV search results, it doesn't do it until unless I go back to the base page and correct all the validation errors on the text fields eventhough those text fields have nothing to do with the LOV.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks
Anwar

I am on Anwar's team, and I've been dealing with the same problem, although on a different page.
The JSPX for a contrived example is below. I can provide backing bean code, if needed.
The form contains two LOVs. Both fields are required. If you leave both fields blank and click Continue, you get a red box around both fields and error messages are displayed. If you then click the magnifying glass to select from the first LOV, the LOV pop-up is rendered. However, you cannot make a selection, either by double-clicking a line item or by clicking OK (the OK button has no effect). All you can do is cancel.
Interestingly, the act of clicking the magnifying glass on the first LOV gets rid of the red box around that field. So, once you cancel out, the second LOV actually does work. If there were more than two fields on the page, that wouldn't happen. The problem seems to be that the LOV doesn't work unless there are no validation errors on the page other than for the LOV which is being invoked.
As you can see, immediate="true" is set on both LOVs. The behavior is the same whether this is true or not.
I'm left thinking there must be something obvious that we're missing... but none of us can see it.
Thanks,
KEN

Cannot select layer via CTRL + ALT

Hi,
If memory serves me right, in CS3 I was able to ctrl + alt click the layer while using the brush tool. I can no longer do that in CS4. To do it, I first have to click on the selection tool, then ctrl + alt click on an image to select it's corresponding layer, which is not a time saver. In any case, am I doing something wrong or need to enable some feature? Many thanks in advance.

CS4 has a new way of doing this, without changing tools permanently.
Carefully press and hold the V key on your keyboard. Whilst holding the V key, hold down the Control key. This shortcut will auto-select layers regardless of what tool you are using. When you release the V key, it will go back to whatever tool you had selected before.
They changed this, to accomodate the new brush resizing shortcut. Its hard when these habits become second nature, and most keyboard shortcut changes recently are honestly not very well thought out. But the new brush resizing shortcut is so essential that for once, its a worthwhile move.

How can I get the option to make an iPod selection playlist when there is not enough space on my iPod for my whole iTunes library?

I am trying to sync my iPod with my iTunes library and I recently added more music to my library than there is space on my iPod. Normally, I know iTunes is supposed to give you the option of creating an iPod selection playlist, so you can choose which songs you want to put from your library onto your iPod. However, iTunes won't currently give me that option. It simply gives me an error message saying there is not enough free space to sync my iPod. How can I get it to create the iPod selection playlist?

Start deleting stuff from your iPod to make room.

Cannot select vendor when creating new DC

Hi all,
I'm using NWDI, version is 7.14.
When I try to create a new DC the vendor dropdown is disabled and all I see is sap.com (see snapshot - http://img390.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newprojectjq3.jpg).
I have opened several projects in the past with no problem (and I could choose my own vendor, the one I created in the SLD).
How can I solve this?
Thanks,
Omri

Able to Remove Bill of Material when there is existing Production Order

Hi All,
Is this logical?
A bill of material (AAA) is created with a couple of components attached. Then production orders are raised against this Bill of Matierial (AAA). SAP B1 still allows user to delete the Bill of Material (AAA).
According to the usual standard in SAP B1, the master cannot be deleted when there is document attached to it.
How is this so?
My version is SAP B1 8.8 SP 0 PL21
Regards
Jessie

Hi Jessie,
Yes, it is very logical, since SAP treat BoM not as a master data in usual way master data as you know. Keep in mind that even in BoM table, OITT and ITT1, SAP use the item master data code as a BoM code. If your finished goods is AAA, then the Code field in OITT and Father in ITT1 also same with AAA.
Which means, it is the Item master data - Item code is the actual reference to Production Order. Try it by yourself, if you already assign AAA in Production Order, you can't delete it from Item master data. When you assign the item master data in production order as the finished goods, system actually only copy respective raw materials from BoM and copy it into the production order. Consider it as a template, not a transaction - master data relation.

Could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.

I was trying to do a photo of mine like in this video but its not working help needed. thanks.

When I tried the 3D I got an error message that said (could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.) what does this mean and how can i fix it?

There was a bug at one time where really simple paths (like a triangle, for example) could cause that error.
Is your path really simple (I don't plan to go watch the video)? If so, have you installed the latest update for Photoshop? That bug may have been fixed already.
If it's not that, it's possible that if your path is really complex and simply exceeding Photoshop's capability.

Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer

I have connected TABULAR Model to Excel, and in the pivot the filter is on multiple dimensions. When doing the drillthrough action it gives error - Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer
Is there any workaround to this error? so that drillthrough can be done even with multiple selection.

Hi Vikas,
The reason behind the error message requires the knowledge on what happens at the backend. When you perform a drill-through action, a query is sent to Analysis Services. This query is expressed in a query language called Multi-Dimensional Expression (MDX).
Since the MDX language doesnot support drill-through command against a set (collection of tuples) an error is persisted.
For now, there is no workaround as it is a limitation of the underlying language that is generating the query.
When multiple items are selected you lose the ability to drill-down on individual metrics. To resolve you must either:
1. Select a single Item.
2. Select all items.
Hope this helps!
Please mark as Answer if this helps! Thanks, Rajasekhar.

Question I have a dilemma . I added a lot of songs in my iTunes now when I synced my ipod this message appear "Elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library (additiona

I addesd a lot of songs in my itunes, now when I synced my ipod this message appear "elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library (additional 382m is required). Then I uncheck a lot of song and synced my ipod again same message appeared. Do I need to buy a new ipod with more memories? Somebody told me to check apply after I unchecked some of the songs but I cannot find the word APPLY. please help I'm not a very technical person.

The Sync button becomes the Apply button, if you change the iPod's settings in iTunes. If you are only unchecking songs in the iTunes music library, you click on the Sync button.
When you select the iPod in iTunes, you see the iPod's Summary screen on the main part of the iTunes window. There is a checkbox there for Sync only checked songs. Did you check that checkbox? If you want iTunes to ignore the songs you unchecked when syncing your iPod, that setting needs to be enabled. If you change that setting, you'll see the the Sync botton has changed to Apply. Click Apply.
That method of unchecking songs works, but it may become annoying over time, as you need to uncheck more and more songs. If you want advice on some other more convenient ways to make it work, you can post back.

You cannot.
The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.
