CS3 Saving Files Error

It must be a bug:
When I make changes to a FLA, save and close, these changes
are not actually saved. So, when I open the file again the changes
are not there so I have to re-do them. I have figured a way around
this bug, and that is by instead or normal saving (cmd+S) I do Save
As (cmd+shift+S) and save with the same name and overwrite.
I have all the latest software updates. It is quite
frustrating because if I come back to the file and do other changes
and export it makes it seem like I didn't do the previous changes.
I am using a MAC. Has anyone encountered thiss? Is there a
real fix instead of my cheap work-around?
Thank you

I was on the phone with Adobe support concerning this issue
and all I had to do was:
Delete the following file:
User > Library > Preferences >
Flash CS3 Preferences
Rename this folder:
User > Library > Application Support > Adobe >
Flash CS3 > en >
Configuration
to
Configuration Old
It's all working fine, for now. If the problem re-appears I
was advised to reinstall the program

My illustrator CS3 saved file icon shows as a blank white square?

This is really odd. I store all my AI files in one folder. When I first open the folder, the lovely orange AI icons representing each file all change to white squares (actually they're in portrait or landscape view depending on how the file was saved). If I then drag one of these white .ai files onto the desktop, the icon very briefly appears again then changes back to the white square. Same thing happens when I drag the file back into its folder. The files open and close normally, and save normally. If I do a 'get info' on them they show up as normal .ai files. It seems as if something is 'overriding' the icon. My old illustrator CS files all show the old CS icon. I know it's not an earth-shattering problem, but I'd really like to solve it. Can you help?

Hi Simon,
First, "Get Info" on your Illustrator application. If it's not named "Illustrator.app", add the ".app" to the name.
If that doesn't solve it, it's probably be a LaunchServices issue. Rebuild your LaunchServices database, either with OnyX orLaunch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister \-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Saving file error

I am editing an old site locally. This is not new development
and I do not wish to do anything more than adjust some text and
create a page or two out of 60 or so pages. When I have edited the
file, and click command save (Mac) DW brings up the Save as
Template dialog box. I have no interest in templates and will not
use them on an old site. In order to save the file I have to choose
File>Save As then replace the file.
I am pissed off that Go LIve is end of line and I haven't
switched to DreamWeaver until now because it seizes control without
my permission of all aspects of web development. Make me happy.
Show me how DW is a better environment for me without forcing me to
start all my work over from scratch.

Dear Alan, Thank you for chiming in.
>Think about it- YOU used dreamweaver template "hooks" in
the file. That template syntax has meaning to the application and
causes things to happen.
>You can't take advantage of one part of a feature without
understanding and using all that it will entail.
Yes, I knew that I was the one who put those hooks in, and I
did it on purpose so I could use Contribute. And when I did it,
GoLive was still being developed, and couldn't put the hooks in. It
worked fine for me for what I wanted and let others in our office
edit the files online.
The fact that the DW thought it knew my intention for putting
that code in the page, and usurped my prerogative to merely save
the file is over-control.
Yes, I knew that I was hacking the code, but in 2003, the
consequences for that are different than they are now. And I can't
believe that you always follow protocol, that you never edit files
outside of DW, that nothing you do excites random dialog boxes over
code you know is fine. Give me a break. Or you've been a DW user so
long, that if you can't do it in DW you just give up.
This over-control is not the only reason I refused to go to
DW years ago. It was also unstable and crashed more frequently than
GoLive. The FTP client sucked, etc. Some of the CSS templates in
the early editions of DW that understood CSS didn't work (the last
time I looked at switching to DW.)
>be aware that if you do change the folder level of the
local site, you will have to adjust the folder level of the remote
site if there is one.
>and- having given dreamweaver incorrect info on what the
root level of the site is, dreamweaver will give wrong paths if you
use the browse to file to create a Site Root relative path.
Again this is intrusive. The application forces protocol
without consulting the user, gives no choice how to set things up
if there are differences between the local and remote site, etc.
I was really trying to avoid having to set up the legacy site
from scratch, or having to completely redo my local file structure.
What a total waste of time.
Look folks, I will get over this transition to DW. For me, my
mistake was an obvious one in retrospect. I thank Murray for his
insight. The differences between GoLive and DW are more
philosophical than practical, the difference between letting the
user decide and letting the program decide how things should be
done.
Thanks again.

Solved the Illustrator CS3 Crash Error upon saving file on my OS.

I was unable to save any Illustrator file. Upon saving a file Illustrator CS3 crashed and an error message would pop up and windows error reporting service would be launched to report the error and close Illustrator.exe.
Until i found out that i had the "Print Spooler Service" set to manual. I always start this service manually when need to print things. So, when i started this service and did a print from MS Word, and latter on thought to give Adobe Illustrator another try, i created an illustration and click on save and WOW it saved my file without any crashes.
To test this worked fully, i opened an older version .ai file and did some changes and used the save and save as command, both worked.
I am relieved now.

This one is for all of you who couldn't get the above to work:
I have Windows XP and CS3 Illustrator.
This same problem happened to me in Photoshop. To fix it, I stopped Version Cue from grabbing the "Save As" window before I could save. Here's how:
In Photoshop:
Edit > Preferences > File Handling...
In the last box, uncheck "Enable Version Cue." Problem solved. (I believe this may be turned on during Adobe update, but I am unsure. What I do know is the problem stems entirely from Version Cue.)
The fix for Illustrator is a bit more complex. The same thing happened to me in Illustrator (and it used to save just fine without any changes on my part) but Version Cue was already unchecked. That is why I wound up on this thread.
1) In Illustrator:
Edit > Preferences > File Handling & Clipboard
2) Uncheck "Enable Version Cue" (if it is already unchecked, this is okay, that is how mine was)
3) Go into Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer)
Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS3 > Support Files > Contents > Windows
4) In this folder is a sub folder called "Version Cue." Rename "Version Cue" to something else like "OLD Version Cue".
5) You can now save files in Illustrator (may require relaunch of Illustrator).
***NOTE***
From one of the above posts I found that to keep from having to kill Illustrator every time it freezes on save (pre-fix) hold down "Alt+F4" to close the invisible "Save as" window that is locking things up.
If the above does not work, try some of the other things I did which I do not believe made a difference, but just in case:
1) Choose a valid, online printer
2) Close other programs
3) Restart your computer
4) Trash the old Illustrator preferences (Documents and Settings > (your login) > Application Data > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings)
5) When Illustrator freezes, hit "alt" then after hit "enter" then select "Move" from the drop down menu at the top left. Drag a whole bunch without lifting the left click button. Restart Illustrator. Repeat.

InDesign CS3 crashes without error when opening any 2nd InDesign file

Issue: InDesign CS3 crashes without error and remains resident in memory if we have an InDesign file open and attempt to open a second InDesign file.
OS: Win XP SP2
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Hardware: Dell Precision WorkStation T3400, 4 gigabytes of memory, Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600
Details: No messages in the event viewer about the problem. We renamed the InDesign Defaults and the InDesign Saved Data file. We removed Creative Suite, restarted and then reinstalled Creative Suite (I could not remove and reinstall InDesign individually). We have created a new Windows profile for this user. I have one computer having the trouble. Other InDesign installations are working fine. This computer has 559 files in C:\windows\fonts. Other people that are not having the problem have a larger number of fonts installed.
The issue is not file specific. We are not running out of memory as I checked the task manager after the first InDesign document is open.
Why is opening a second document different than opening the first document?

Hello Peter and Josh,
I'd just like to assert that I am having the exact same problem as Josh. I've spent the time to go through the steps listed above and have found the same results.
The issue as we see it multiple times daily is as follows:
(1) User opens File1 (everything works fine)
(2) User goes to open File2 (via explorer or via file->open) or print File1
(3) The User Interface for ID disappears (InDesign.exe still appears in Task Manager and is NOT listed as "Not Responding", ID does not appear in the Task Bar)
(4) The only way to continue work is to End Task/End Process InDesign.exe and relaunch.
No error messages appear, no error logs are created(that I can find). Non-related concerns caused us to upgrade this users PC. With a completely new install we are still having the problems. The systems are listed as follows:
OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Newest Hardware: Custom Built Computer, 4GB RAM installed (3.24 recognized by windows), Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Older Hardware: Custom Built Computer, Intel D945GTP Motherboard, 2GB RAM installed, Intel Pentium D processor @ 2.8Ghz
Troubleshooting:
(1) Alt+Space and M then using arrow keys moves every other window the user had opened other than In-Design. The user has two monitors. (a) 1280x1024 and (b) 1200x1600 (yes she uses the monitor rotated 90 degrees
(2) Log files - Non exist in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 folder. I've also done a search across the entire hard drive for any "*.log" files, none of which were adobe related.
(3) Default Printer - Changing the default printer to Adobe PDF is not really an option. I was able to convince the user to temporarily switch to a different networked printer and await the results (most likely today or tomorrow it should recreate)
(4) /3GB switch - Getting that last 700 something MB of memory isn't an issue. I've run MemTest.exe on all the available system memory overnight in a "burn in" test. The system ran fine the sticks were nice and warm when I got in from all the hard work :)
(5) Order of Opening - The problem repeates regardless of order. The trick seems to be opening File2 or printing File1 (I had the user only work on one file at a time (required her to close any open files before opening the next, that wasn't fun for my user but the system didn't crash on opening in this scenario, just on printing. Obviously not a permanent work around)
Any help here would be much appreciated as this has been plaguing us for months now.

File Error: Unknown File when saving

I tried to save my project to the drive I've been working in and saving all day. And all of a sudden Im getting a new error: File Error: Unknown File. What's that all about? It saved fine to another drive.

Photoshop CS6 – Error When Saving Files

When saving files using Photoshop CS6 I randomly receive an error message that states 'Could not save image_name.tif' because of a program error'. Sometimes a save-as works but not guaranteed. The file is being saved to a mounted server volume and sometimes the only way to get the file on the server is to save to the desktop and then copy the file back to the server. The error message does not appear on any other Adobe applications, just Photoshop.

Moved from the Creative Cloud to the Photoshop forum. They will be able to help you here.

The iTunes Library file cannot be saved unknown error occurred (-54)

Anyone seen this before and can it be fixed
The iTunes Library file cannot be saved unknown error occurred (-54)

adamwineguy wrote:
I was having this issue as well, after doing two things: updating iTunes yesterday, and installing and running ClamXav, a Mac antivirus tool.
I have now fixed the issue, first I made sure that I had the proper permissions for iTunes and it's library folders. Then I completely removed ClamXav and all its related files and restarted iTunes. Now I no longer get this error when adding new media to iTunes or updating apps, and the library file saves fine. For some reason I think it was related to the antivirus software.
I think it was a coincidence as ClamXav only modifies permissions on the files it installs and none of those are anywhere near your iTunes folders, but I'm glad you got it working.

CS3: Saving or Outputting .AI File as Multiple Files

There must be a way to save or output a single Adobe Illustrator file into multiple files based on the "pages" I have created in the document?
For example, if I have tiled 10 tabloid-sized pages onto a single Illustrator CS3 .AI file, is it possible to save the file in a manner that will allow all of those tiled pages to be saved as a seperated or individual files?
I guess it would be a similar concept to how in newer versions (like CS4) you can export multiple jpegs of an illustrator file that contains several artboards and it automatically assigns a number suffix to the filename since multiple files were outputted from the single ai file.
Any help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks!

Having problems getting saved files in PS CS3 to show up in folders in Vista - help?

My sincerest apologies if this has floated across oyur screens before, but I don't seem to be pluggin in the correct set of keywrds to bring it up in the search if it has.
Here's my dilemma. I just bought a new computer which came preloaded with Vista, and uploaded my old copy of CS3 onto it. The program seems to be working fine, except that when I open a file in Photoshop and edit it, then save it in a new file (as I do for most of my photoshoots, etc), or even when I save it in the orignial folder, the new "saved" file will not show up in the Vista folder. If I go back to Photoshop and open the folder via File>Open, I can access all of my pictures, but to I cannot access them to upload to the internet, email, use in other programs, etc.
If I go into "Recently Changed Documents" I can find them, but they seem to be in a temp folder in the Adobe folders. But again, if I go back to Adobe, it says they are in the folder I put them in.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks so much for any help you can offer,
Cass

They are hidden for whatever reason, either you have a permission problem or they are registered incorrectly with Explorer. Open the folder, then check Extras --> Folder Options. Disable the Hide System Files option and then the more generic Hidden Files section a little lower. If that reveals the files, it's time to check the File Types tab in the same panel and see, why it actually thinks your documents are system files. the simplest solution would be to remove the PSD association and then create it new, when you open a file wit6h a double-click. Of course al lthe above assumes that not some security tool or another application is "stealing" your file type associations. If you have such tools, checking their config may already solve the problems.

Word 2007: Error when saving file that contains equations

Using Microsoft Word 2007, version 12.0.6425.1000 with Service Pack 2
I am a High School Math teacher, and when working on a document that contains a number of math equations. When I try to save the document, Word refuses to save. It displays the following error: "A file error has occurred. <filename>. OK",
and I am unable to save the file.
Reading the forum, I have found this to be a very common issue going back to 2009, but I have not seen a definitive solution or patch.
I have found a workaround:
Creat a new document
Copy and paste from the corrupted doc each page, saving the new document after each page
Until I hit the error, then I know the page that has the issue, and can usually narrow it down to a specific math equation. Nothing fancy just some basic math.
Manually rewrite the equation in the new document and it will successfully save.
But the issue has been occurring more and more frequently now and it is becoming very frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There has been a long time known issue with the equation editor. it causes document corruption by "losing" XML tags.
Apparently fixes for some causes of these problems have been rolled out in Windows updates. But the problem still exists. You've got it easy. A lot of people running into this problem are students working on documents, like a thesis, that is on a short
deadline ...
One identified cause of these problems is editing equations
after you created them. DON'T DO THAT!
If you have to change an existing equation, create a new correct one and delete the old one.
Simpler fix. Don't use Word (or Office) for creating equations. Find some other product, like a pencil.
Over in the "Answers" forum there are a couple volunteers, Tony Jollans and Jeeped
, who have been manually fixing this type of error if you post a new question or add a reply to one of the ongoing discussions on this issue.
Sorry.
If you want to invest the time to figure out what your error looks like you may be able to come up with a fix other than copy /paste method.
Can't open Word File because of end tag/start tag mismatch error... XML Tag
- XML Error – Fix It tool - “The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag”
This error is caused when Word either “forgets” to write an XML tag, or writes them in the wrong order.
Tony Jolans was the first person that I heard of with home made tool to fix the problem. Now MS has released a Fix It for one specific variation of the problem.
If the tools don’t fix your problem, the file will have to be fixed manually, repairing the tag order.
The Fix It article notes that the document is still in a fragile state. You have to do some addition fixing to avoid repeats of the problem.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2528942- FIX IT
This fix it will work for one specific tag error where there are equations and graphics in the same paragraph AND Office 2010 SP1 has not been applied.
Preventative suggestions
<snip Jeeped>
I don't think that anyone can completely stop editing equations, but pre-planning them should avoid unnecessary edits.
While I have no concrete, reproducible evidence that editing equations is a cause, I have made these empirical observations:
I cannot state precisely what many of the DOCX XML tags do, but basic XML syntax rules would suggest that code like:   <m:oMath><m:e><m:ctrlPr/></m:e></m:oMath>
... does nothing at all since it closes everything it opens and offers no content. It looks to me that this is a result of deleting one or more characters from an equation.
While Word 2010 reports these as a problem at: Line: 2 Column: 0 ... Word 2007 will still report the actual position, e.g.:
Line: 2 Column: 2726981 I keep a copy of Word 2007 side-by-side Word 2010 for no other purpose. It's the only Office 2007 program on my computer. This seems like it is actually a step backwards from a resolution since Word 2010 no longer seems
to be able to parse its own error.
Whether the syntax is truly useless and non-effective for any intent or purpose is actually beside the point. The syntax passes conformity tests and the DOCX
should launch. Why an 85 page document is 'broken' due to a few empty XML formatting tags while retaining legal syntax structure is beyond me.
I try to pass along the area that the problem was in and several times people have remarked that the area I report was the place they were last making modifications/deletions to equations (not additions) when the no-load corruption
occurred.
When no indication from the OP is offered on what was worked on last, the Line: 2 Column: 0 corruption often comes within a formula at the very end of the unfinished Word/Document.xml file and it may be inferred
that this was the last place being worked upon.
The corrupt DOCX files I've worked on are very commonly at the last stages of development with a large complex document. While there couldn't be a worse time for a corruption to appear, it would seem that small edits to existing content are causing
it and not large scale new content generation.
Not one of these points is a definitive 'smoking gun', but put together they seem to indicate
formula editing and not formula writing as a cause for the Line: 2 Column: 0 corruption. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is most often a duck.
</snip>
Copy “True Autosave Macros for Office” to this place in reply
Let me fix it myself
If you are familiar with editing XML, you can try to fix the problem yourself by correcting the sequence of the mismatched oMath tags in the document. See the following example:
Incorrect tags:
<mc:AlternateContent>
<mc:Choice Requires=”wps”>
<m:oMath>
</mc:AlternateContent>
</m:oMath>
Correct tags:
<m:oMath>
<mc:AlternateContent>
<mc:Choice Requires=”wps”>
</mc:AlternateContent>
</m:oMath>
Note: You will have to use an application such as Notepad to edit the XML.
Manual Technique
<snip> A DOCX document is actually a .ZIP file that contains many internal components. There is an internal folder called word which will always contain a document.xml file. This file is the basis of the document's layout
and content.
Assuming that the DOCX archive structure has not been corrupted, it can be opened in an archive utility. I use
WinRAR for this. Once opened in
WinRAR, you can drill down into the
word folder and see the document.xml file. I use
Notepad++ as a text editing tool and have the .xml file extension associated with this program so i can simply double-click
document.xml in WinRAR to open an editing session.
Notepad++ has cursor positioning in the right-hand side of the status bar and finding the position of the error (supplied by a failed open in Word) is pretty straightforward. I look for empty formatting
tags first and only remove content if removing empty tags does not allow the document to be opened. I try to note existing content in the area that I make modifications in order that I can supply position reference information to the owner of the DOCX.
When editing, I assume the philosophy that kess is more. My target is to get the document to open in Word with as little modification as possible and let the original owner of the DOCX make any necessary adjustments.
I should mention that after making a change to word/document.xml you need to save it in
Notepad++ then go to
WinRAR and acknowledge that you want to update the file in the DOCX archive. Once the archive is updated, you can attempt to open the DOCX in Word to see if your efforts are successful.
WinRAR
Notepad++

Further Fixes
The Fix it solution in this article should let you recover your Word document. However, the symptoms will reappear when you make any further edits to the document unless the core problem in the structure of the document is resolved.
To try to correct the core problem, follow one of these workarounds:
Install Office 2010 Service Pack 1
Office 2010 Service Pack 1 resolves this issue for new files. It will also prevent the problem from recurring with any files that were recovered with the Fix it solution in this article.
To download Office 2010 Service Pack 1, follow the steps provided in this Microsoft knowledge base article:
2460049 - Description of Office 2010 SP1
Grouping Objects
The steps provided work best under Word 2010:
After you open the recovered document, turn on the Selection pane. This can be found in the
Home tab of the ribbon. The editing group of the
Home tab has a dropdown button named Select.
Click the Select button, and then click
Selection Pane...
Press the Ctrl button on your keyboard and then click each text box in the selection pane.
Click the Group button under the Format tab. This will group all the objects together.
As soon as you have all objects grouped on each page, save the document under a new name.
Save the document in the .RTF file format
The steps provided work for both Word 2007 and Word 2010:
After you open the recovered document, click File and select
Save (for Word 2007 click the Office button and select
Save As)
In the Save As dialog box, click "Save as type:" dropdown and select
Rich Text format (*.rtf).
Click Save.

Copy the missing tag, ie </mc:Fallback> (yours will be different)
Return to word Find: mc:Fallback> (without the </ so you find both open and closing tags).
Repeat find until you hit 2 open tags in a row. Then you just have to figure out where to put the closing tag between them.
Look for other tags before and after a proper closing tag so you can match the problem area to a good area.

This page has the most readable description of Word file structures, DOC and DOCX, I have seen so far
The logical structure of a Word 97‑2003 format document is one of a series of elements arranged in a hierarchy, much like a mini file system. As an example, here is the structure of a simple Word 97‑2003 (.doc) format document:
MyDocument.doc
1Table
*CompObj
Word Document
*SummaryInformation
*DocumentSummaryInformation
The physical structure of the complete file bears little relation to the logical structure; it is, again, of a proprietary design, a compound, or structured storage, file. Briefly, and loosely, the separate logical elements of the file are broken up into
blocks; these blocks are treated as individual units, which units are then organised without regard for their logical arrangement, and catalogued, catalogue and organisation detail being held alongside the blocks themselves, to enable recombination into logical
components when necessary.
Just to give you a flavour, here are some views of three small parts of such a document, viewed in a hex editor:

The logical structure of a Word 2007 format document is one of a series of elements arranged in a hierarchy, much like a mini file system. As an example, here is the structure of a simple Word 2007 (.docx) format:
MyDocument.docx
_rels
rels
docProps
app.xml
core.xml
word
_rels
document.xml.rels
theme
theme1.xml
document.xml
settings.xml
fontTable.xml
webSettings.xml
styles.xml
[Content_Types].xml
As briefly as before, the [Content_Types] file and the _rels folders, along with the subordinate files therein, contain information about the logical structure, and the two files in the docProps folder contain much the same as the two Information files
in the old format. The document.xml element within the word folder holds the bulk of the document content and the other files within that same folder hold formatting details.
So, you might say, the internal structure of a document has changed a little, so what? There are, however, other changes that make a bigger difference. The first is that, although both logical formats are conceptually similar, they are wrapped up in
completely different ways to make a single file. Instead of the proprietary physical structure used for Word 97‑2003 format documents, a fairly standard, and open, Zip Archive format is used for Word 2007 format documents. The second change is that instead
of using obscure binary codes, everything in Word 2007 format documents, well almost everything, is held in XML format.
All data held as XML? In a standard Zip Package? It should be much easier to work with, then? Judge for yourself; here are some views of parts of a Word 2007 format document taken from a hex editor:

FreeFileViewer – reads 100+ text, Office, audio, video format file types – Can open some XML tag error files

Can't open Word file due to undeclared prefix, Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line:91, Column: 49921
The most likely cause of your particular problem is that you are missing a
schema prefix reference within the opening <document ...> XML tag (usually the second one). Different
schema references are required for various types of specialty content. Here is a sample opening <document ...> tag with a large number of various schema prefix codes. If I remove one or two of these, i can reproduce
your error message.

It's impossible to blindly say exactly what you are missing but if you post an unadulterated copy of your document to a public file area (as noted above) and post the location back here, someone may be able to help. If you are going to go this route, send
a copy that has not already been subjected to repair attempts.
FWIW, while it may be hard to determine exactly which schema you may be missing, I do not believe that having extras causes any problems.
BTW, you don't actually have to rename the DOCX file extension if you have an archiving program. I use WinRAR and simply
<right-click>, Open With... to expose the archive.

When saving certain files get the error "Error saving file..."

When saving certain files get the error "Error saving file..." Seems to have trouble saving the temp files. tried dumping my workspace and prefs. No change. Other files work fine.

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder. For its locations see:

Float4() causes "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player

Simple test
<languageVersion : 1.0;>
kernel untitled
<   namespace : "Your Namespace";
    vendor : "Your Vendor";
    version : 1;
>
    input image4 src;
    output pixel4 dst;
    void
    evaluatePixel()
        dst = float4(sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));
The above code will produce a "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player in Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5.449694.
"dst = (sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));" works fine. And anything like "float4 a= float4(b);" will give same error.

Thank you for the error report. I'll put it into our bug database. We're bottling things up for the current version. Gven the workaround, it is unlikely we'll be addressing this bug soon. Please accept my apologies for the annoyance this will cause.
In your second example, float4 a = float4(b), does it return an error if b is only a float4 or regardless of what b is? If b is a scalar float, for example, is the conversion performed correctly? If so, this could be an error that only crops up when using constructor/conversion syntax when the thing being converted is already the correct type.
Thanks,
Chuck.
