ColdFusion Builder - Slow when editing code

I have seen this many times on other forums, but haven't found any working solutions - my installation of the standalone Coldfusion Builder 1.0.0.25339 is nearly always very very slow when editing code (wehether this is cfm or css) i'm assuming the code hinting it somewhat to blame, but don't want to turn it off.
Any help/solutions welcomed.

The current state of the product is that it's rife with performance problems.
Hopefully they'll be fixed in the next release.
What you're seeing is just how it currently works (ie: slowly).

IPhoto 9.1.5 on my imac and MBP has gone really slow when editing etc.

I have noticed that on both my machines iPhoto hangs continuosuly when edits are made to the picture such as denoise etc. It hangs when moving to the next picutre and sometimes I have to Force Quit. I have reinstalled iPhoto, repaired the photo library, tried logging into my mac on a different account, repaired disk permissions etc. The fault still occurs. I am using Leopard and hardly use my MBP apart from installing the regular software updates which I believe might be to blame.

The database is corrupted.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Flash Builder Errors When Editing a Flash Professional File

I'm having lots of problems trying to use Flash Builder 4.51 as my code editor from Flash Professional CS5.5. My immediate problem is a constant stream of pop-up "Problem Occurred" dialog boxes in Flash Builder which make it impossible to do any work.
The message specifics vary a little but the title bar says "Problem Occurred" and inside the dialog box it says '[something] has encountered a problem." The [something] varies but is commonly "Finding occurrences" even though I'm not trying to search for anything at the moment. If I click the Details button the additional info is something like:
An internal error occurred during: "_imageWidth".
java.lang.NullPointerException
Right now, I'm trying to find all references to a specific variable, _imageWidth, so it says:
'_imageWidth' has encountered a problem.
An internal error occurred during: "_imageWidth".
When I click OK the dialog goes away and 0 references are reported but that is wrong. The var does exist and there are references. A few seconds after clicking OK the same error box pops up again. I click OK and a few seconds later it's back. Like I said, it's impossible to get any work done.
If, instead of searching for references, I do a text search the error is 'Finding occurrences' has encountered a problem. Again, the error dialog pops up incessantly.
This is in a new Flash Builder 4.51 workspace with only a single project. Here is the procedure I used to create it:
Create a folder inside my workspace
Copy Flash Professional .FLA file and its associated ActionScript classes into the project folder; change the Flash Pro publish settings to permit debugging
Create a new Flash Builder Flash Professional project in that folder, targeting the FLA file
Create a Debug Configuration targeting an existing HTML file in the folder
With this procedure I'm able to edit and debug from Flash Builder for a few minutes. But before long an onslaught of popups begins. At that point, there's no way to accomplish any work. Restarting Flash Builder doesn't help either.
Is there any way to make this work?
David Salahi

Found a workaround. The dialog is not modal so I just dragged it over to the other monitor and I can ignore it. A new message is added to it every few seconds but I don't pay it any attention.

Deathly slow when editing in contribute

I have used contribute for years and now that I updated the
program it takes forever to respond after I hit the edit button.
The program comunicates quickly with the server, downloads the
files and then appears to freeze. I have to wait over a minute
before my cursor appears and I can edit a page. After I am done,
and publish, the congratulations appears quickly . When I am
editing, I have turned off all firewalls, antivirus, spam and
protection programs. Nothing helps. Does anyone have a
suggestion?If I can not resolve this I will have to look at another
product for our group.
P.S. This issue is not related to one particular computer, It
happens on both my laptop and my home computer. It is also a
problem for another group member that I work with.

Hello sdrouillard,
See if you work behind a proxy? If yes then you need to
configure Internet
exlorer with required settings .
Hope this helped !

Indesign slow when editing remote documents

We're using an Indesign/Incopy webbased solution to write/edit our Indesign documents. All Indesign (Incopy) documents are on a remote database server. So when I open such an Indesign document, I basically download it from the remote location, edit it and when saving I upload it back to the server. There are no local Indesign/Incopy files. While testing we discovered that editing can be very slow. When placing a carriage return in a textfield for example, it can take a few seconds and meanwhile the Mac is showing it's rotating circle indicating that it's busy. It simple text edit can take a long time when the document contains a lot of high resolution psd documents.
Is there anything we can do to speed up this process. Apparently it is doing something to the remote Indesign (or auto recover) document while doing text edits. Some kind of upload seems necessary to those documents while doing the text edits. And as the Indesign document is quite large when containing a lot of psd documents these uploads during text edits can take quite a while. What could it be doing during such a text edit and can that process be turned off? So I can open (download) the Indesign document, do my edits while there are no uploads necessary, and finally save (upload) the document?

The recovery folder is the default one, locally on my IMac.
The process is as follows.
I select an Indesign/Incopy document on the remote server to open it. It gets downloaded and opens like any normal document. Then I edit and when I save it, it gets uploaded again to the remote server. All Indesign documents there are stored in the third-party database.
When I open a large (many photos) document and do text edits, a simple text edit can take quite a few seconds. The macs 'busy' circle rotates. It's saving to the local recovery folder, so that couldn't be it.
But it looks like it is doing something to the remote third-party database indesign file during the text edit?

Type cursor disappearing when editting code

Hello all,
i am encountering a problem where the typing cursor disappears when im editting my code. This really is ennoying and bothers the heck out of me.
Especially when im navigating trough the code using the arrow keys - i simply can't see where i'm at in the code.
Right now i am very disapointed because it has taken me months pondering, whether or not to sign up for Creative Cloud (Student membership).
Now that i finally singed for a year's commitment, i see the code editor is virtually unusable because of the cursor-in-hiding....
Hopefully this issue will be fixed sooner than later or i will have to cancel my subscription and deny Adobe from charging my credit card for the monthly fee :-(
Has anyone else been undergoing the same problem, and maybe fixed it?
Gr.
Niels

That is a known issue to Adobe. Apparently, it's a defect caused by the new code highlighting behavior. You can submit an official bug report here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Video slow when editing

I recently built a new PC and installed Premiere Elements 8. It ran sufficient on my older PC, but I thought if I built a faster/better machine my life would be much better.
Here are the ciritical parts:
CPU                           Intel I5 2500K
System Drive: (SSD)   OCZ VERTEX PLUS (120 GB)CPU 3.30gighhertz Intel Core i5-2500K
RAM                           8170 Megabytes
Secondary Drives:        Seagagte ST31000340AS (1000 GB)
Video:                         NVIDIA GEForce GTX 550 Ti
Operating system Windows 7
Everthing runs awesome, except for Premiere Elements which runs incredibly slow. When previewing .AVI files that run fine on my old computer, the video portion barely moves.
Essentially it's unusable.
I've done all the optimization tricks I could find from Adobe with no luck.
I check system resources and CPU runs at 7% and virtually no Ram is being used.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ColdFusion Builder 3 - File Associations not picking up a new extension as CFM.

Hello,
We have this stupid .cfg file extension that is translated as .cfm but I cannot get coldfusion Builder 3 to color code / format the text for this extension.
The file has been added in File Associations and it is setup as a CFML Multi Page Editor but the scripts are still basic black text.
I've restarted builder as well but still no color coding.
I do get .cfml tag insight but just no colors. Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks peoplez

"Finding occurrences" error when editing .mxml file in Flash Builder 4.6 Premium (Trial)

I am evaluating Flash Builder 4.6. Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I am trying to go through the Flex in a week training series but I am getting a lot of the "Finding occurrences" errors when editing the mxml files.
The error:
An internal error occurred during: "Finding occurrences".
java.lang.NullPointerException
This error occurs almost every time an xml tag is edited.
I can dismiss the error window that pops up by hitting 'Enter' and can continue editing the .mxml file but the error keeps repeating.
I was getting this error in the Day 1 set of exercises but after awhile the errors just stopped.
Now that I have imported the Day 2 starter projects, the error has started again but is occurring on almost every keystroke when editing an xml tag/element!.
Anyone have any ideas how to correct this issue?

Ok, I seemed to have found a solution/workaround for the error.
After importing the Day 2 starter projects, I did not exit and restart Flash Builder. After exiting/restarting Flash Builder, I can now edit the .mxml files without the annoying "Finding occurrences" errors.

Why is the Tick Count function slow when used with a .dll but fine with normal lab view code?

when using the Tick Count millisecond timer with a .dll I've written in C, I'm getting some odd timing issues.
When I code the function I want (I'll explain it below in case it helps) in LV and run it as a subVI, feeding it the Tick count as an argument, the function runs quickly, but not quite as quickly as I would like. When I feed this same subVI just an integer constant rather than the Tick Count, it takes about the same amount of time, maybe a tiny bit more on average.
When I bring in my function from a .dll, however, I start to run into problems. When I feed my function an integer constant, it is much faster than my subVI written in LV. When I feel my .dll the Tick Count, however, it slows down tremendously. I'm including a table with the times below:
             | Clock   |   Constant   |
SubVi:   | 450ms | 465ms       |
.dll         | 4900ms| 75ms         |
This is running the function 100,000 times. The function basically shifts the contents of a 2-dimensional array one place. For this function, it probably won't be a huge deal for me, but I plan on moving some of my other code out of LV and into C to speed it up, so I'd really like to figure this out.
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for posting the code -- that made things a lot clearer for me. I believe I know what's going on here, and the good news is that it's easy to correct! (You shouldn't apologize for this though, as even an experienced LabVIEW programmer could run into a similar situation.) Let me explain...
When you set your Call Library Function Node to run in the UI Thread you're telling LabVIEW that your DLL is not Thread-safe -- this means that under no circumstances should the DLL be called from more than one place at a time. Since LabVIEW itself is inherently multithreaded the way to work with a "thread-unsafe" DLL is to run it in a dedicated thread -- in this case, the UI thread. This safety comes at a price, however, as your program will have to constantly thread-swap to call the DLL and then execute block diagram code. This thread-swapping can come with a performance hit, which is what you're seeing in your application.
The reason your "MSTick fine behavior.vi" works is that it isn't swapping threads with each iteration of the for loop -- same with the "MSTick bad behavior.vi" without the Tick Count function. When you introduce the Tick Count Function in the for loop, LabVIEW now has to swap threads every single iteration -- this is where your performance issues originate. In fact, you could reproduce the same behavior with any function (not just TIck Count) or any DLL. You could even make your "MSTick fine behavior.vi" misbehave by placing a control property node in the for loop. (Property nodes are also executed in the UI thread).
So what's the solution? If your DLL is thread-safe, configure the call library function node to be "reentrant." You should see a pretty drastic reduction in the amount of time it takes your code to execute. In general, you can tell if your DLL is thread-safe when:
The code is thread safe when it does not store any global data, such as global variables, files on disk, and so on.
The code is thread safe when it does not access any hardware. In other words, the code does not contain register-level programming.
The code is thread safe when it does not make any calls to any functions, shared libraries, or drivers that are not thread safe.
The code is thread safe when it uses semaphores or mutexes to protect access to global resources.
The code is thread safe when it is called by only one non-reentrant VI.
There are also a few documents on the website that you may want to take a look at, if you want some more details on this:
Configuring the Call Library Function Node
An Overview of Accessing DLLs or Shared Libraries from LabVIEW
VI Execution Speed
I hope this helps clear-up some confusion -- best of luck with your application!

ColdFusion Builder 3 Code Coloring Bug

Hello CFBuilders,
I encountered what I believe is a bug within CFBuilder 3 (standalone and Eclipse plugin) where code coloring breaks after you insert a comment in a function with named arguments. To replicate the issue copy/paste the following code in CF Builder:

<cfset myFunction(
      argument1 = "strawberries",
      argument2 = "bananas", 
      argument3 = "blueberries",
      argument4 = "pineapples"
) />
<cfset test = "test" />
You should see argument3,argument4, and the closing bracket are colored incorrectly. If you encounter the same issue and you'd like to see this fixed please feel free to vote for this bug here:
Bug#3831825 - Code Coloring Breaks When Comments Used Within Function with Named Arguments
It should be noted that Dreamweaver can handle this type of code coloring situation fine.

How to get auto design refresh when saving code edits.

How do I add/update/delete data using ColdFusion Builder 3?

I feel like this is a really simple and stupid question and should be easy to figure out, but I can't.
I am relearning ColdFusion after 12 years out of the IT field. I am using the ColdFusion 9 Getting Started:Volume 1 book. In Chapter 7 it states that I need to edit the Application.cfc file so that I can edit the database rather than just selecting from the database. I can't seem to find anything related to that file in any search. In my ColdFusion 11 Administrator I have set this mySQL database to be able to be edited, but ColdFusion Builder 3 doesn't seem to allow any editing of the tables. I have not had much luck searching for help regarding this on the internet either. My biggest problem so far is getting ColdFusion Builder to talk with my mySQL database properly so I can actually get on with relearning ColdFusion and writing code. Frustrating!!

I do have ColdFusion 11 Administrator installed. When I go to Data and Services there and open the datasource (OWS) that I want to connect to and query off of, and go to Advanced Settings, I show that the following are selected:
SELECT
CREATE
GRANT
INSERT
DROP
REVOKE
UPDATE
ALTER
Stored Procedures
DELETE
If, in ColdFusion Builder 3, I open the RDS Query viewer and write the following basic update query (Server: default:local; Datasource: OWS):
insert into directors(FirstName, LastName)
Values ('Benjamin', 'Forta');
I get the following RDS error message:
java.sql.SQLException: Can not issue data manipulation statements with executeQuery().
According to the book and some information I have seen online, the SQL Query Tool, for security's sake, by default allows execution of SELECT statements, but no other SQL statements. According to the book, to change this behavior I need to edit the Application.cfc file in the ows/sql directory. I have to change the THIS.select_only flag from the default of yes to no and save the file. I cannot find this file anywhere. I have seen an application.cfm, but I think this is different that what they want because I can't find anything in that file that says THIS.select.

PL/SQL procedure is 10x slower when running from weblogic

Hi everyone,
we've developed a PL/SQL procedure performing reporting - the original solution was written in Java but due to performance problems we've decided to switch this particular piece to PL/SQL. Everything works fine as long as we execute the procedure from SQL Developer - the batch processing 20000 items finishes in about 80 seconds, which is a serious improvement compared to the previous solution.
But once we call the very same procedure (on exactly the same data) from weblogic, the performance seriously drops - instead of 80 seconds it suddenly runs for about 23 minutes, which is 10x slower. And we don't know why this happens :-(
We've profiled the procedure (in both environments) using DBMS_PROFILER, and we've found that if the procedure is executed from Weblogic, one of the SQL statements runs noticeably slower and consumes about 800 seconds (90% of the total run time) instead of 0.9 second (2% of the total run time), but we're not sure why - in both cases this query is executed 32742-times, giving 24ms vs. 0.03ms in average.
The SQL is
SELECT personId INTO v_personId FROM (
        SELECT personId FROM PersonRelations
        WHERE extPersonId LIKE v_person_prefix || '%'
) WHERE rownum = 1;Basically it returns an ID of the person according to some external ID (or the prefix of the ID). I do understand why this query might be a performance problem (LIKE operator etc.), but I don't understand why this runs quite fast when executed from SQL Developer and 10x slower when executed from Weblogic (exactly the same data, etc.).
Ve're using Oracle 10gR2 with Weblogic 10, running on a separate machine - there are no other intensive tasks, so there's nothing that could interfere with the oracle process. According to the 'top' command, the wait time is below 0.5%, so there should be no serious I/O problems. We've even checked JDBC connection pool settings in Weblogic, but I doubt this issue is related to JDBC (and everything looks fine anyway). The statistics are fresh and the results are quite consistent.
Edited by: user6510516 on 17.7.2009 13:46

The setup is quite simple - the database is running on a dedicated database server (development only). Generally there are no 'intensive' tasks running on this machine, especially not when the procedure I'm talking about was executed. The application server (weblogic 10) is running on different machine so it does not interfere with the database (in this case it was my own workstation).
No, the procedure is not called 20000x - we have a table with batch of records we need to process, with a given flag (say processed=0). The procedure reads them using a cursor and processes the records one-by-one. By 'processing' I mean computing some sums, updating other table, etc. and finally switching the record to processed=1. I.e. the procedure looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE process_records IS
    v_record records_to_process%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
     OPEN records_to_process;
     LOOP
          FETCH records_to_process INTO v_record;
          EXIT WHEN records_to_process%NOTFOUND;
          -- process the record (update table A, insert a record into B, delete from C, query table D ....)
          -- and finally mark the row as 'processed=1'
     END LOOP;
     CLOSE records_to_process;
END process_records;The procedure is actually part of a package and the cursor 'records_to_process' is defined in the body. One of the queries executed in the procedure is the SELECT mentioned above (the one that jumps from 2% to 90%).
So the only thing we actually do in Weblogic is
CallableStatement cstmt = connection.prepareCall("{call ProcessPkg.process_records}");
cstmt.execute();and that's it - there is only one call to the JDBC, so the network overhead shouldn't be a problem.
There are 20000 rows we use for testing - we just update them to 'processed=0' (and clear some of the other tables). So actually each run uses exactly the same data, same code paths and produces the very same results. Yet when executed from SQL developer it takes 80 seconds and when executed from Weblogic it takes 800 seconds :-(
The only difference I've just noticed is that when using SQL Developer, we're using PL/SQL notation, i.e. "BEGIN ProcessPkg.process_records; END;" instead of "{call }" but I guess that's irrelevant. And yet another difference - weblogic uses JDBC from 10gR2, while the SQL Developer is bundled with JDBC from 11g.

The internal html viewer is not working in coldfusion builder 2.

It is so frustrating how hard this is. I finished setting up coldfusion and coldfusion builder 2 with an apache local webserver and was hoping to make use of the internal html viewer but it won't come on! All I see is a blank grey page with no content. After creeping around the forums for a while it seemed that the simplest solution was to use the internal coldfusion server so I uninstalled everything and did just that, reverting my administrator page to http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm (working and launchable from the IDE), placing my webroot at C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot and with all the folders in their right place. The server is running ok and when I launch the run as "coldfusion administrator" option to run my index file, it succesfully opens the external browser and displays the page.
I have the same setup on my desktop at home, the same files, installation, everything! and it works but not on my laptop. I followed Ben Forta's instructions to a T and yet I still am not getting the html preview. I even tried to hard code the absolute url in the html preview settings and still nothing but that annoying grey.
Is this a bug? There doesn't seem to be anything about it in the bug reports. It is quite infuriating how something that seems so miniscule could be such an annoyance. I have already gotten quite used to the preview pages and coldfusion and I would prefer to code that way rather than making use of dreamweaver which I feel I am being forced to use, but at least it's consistent.
Please if anyone could provide some answers and help I would really appreciate it! I have only so much hair left!
Thanks!

Perhaps others may recognize and resolve this for you. I and others here often can and do offer quick solutions to many problems. And I can appreciate that it’s reasonable to think that something so simple should just work. But in this case I think are simply too many variables that could explain why things are not working for you. And while I can also appreciate that you will prefer to get a solution for free if anyone can offer it, I just can’t even begin to offer all the possible problems and solutions, at least by email, in this case. Again, maybe someone else will make a quick connection.
But I will point out that if you’re willing to pay US$75, I offer a service of remotely troubleshooting any one CFBuilder problem for that fixed price. Hopefully I might help you solve it quickly (when I can see exactly what’s going on in your environment), but you will not pay if I don’t solve the problem in up to 2 hours effort. If you may be interested, see www.carehart.org/consulting/ for more, and if you want to set up a time to get together (over the web), drop me an email at [email protected]
Finally, please note that I don’t often point out this service here on the forums. I generally just offer suggestions (sometimes lengthy ones) without any commercial expectation, so please don’t regard this as me engaging in “abusive unsolicited commercial email”. I’m just offering a possible solution, given the OPs sincere challenge in solving things.
