CS4 blank "Arrange Documents" menu issue

Hi,
Will someone at Adobe eventually release a solution/fix to that annoying problem that lasts since CS4 is out? Plugin makers like Nik Software seem unable to find a fix, Adobe doesn't comment or react and users are still struggling with this odd bug. Is more than one year not enough to fix this?
Thanks.

  • CS4 blank "Arrange Documents" issue

    Hi,
    Will someone at Adobe eventually  release a solution/fix to that annoying problem that lasts since CS4 is  out? Plugin makers like Nik Software seem unable to find a fix, Adobe  doesn't comment or react and users are still struggling with this odd  bug. Is more than one year not enough to fix this?
    Thanks.

    John,
    Plugin makers say that the problem is a bug in CS4 (which seems to be confirmed by the fact that the problem appears with various plugin vendors) and if all these developers are making the same mistake (all creating the very same bug - as a developer I find this rather unlikely), Adobe don't appear to be ready to publish any document helping them to get their plugin right.
    and there are ways to avoid  the problem anyway.
    There are workarounds like launching the plugin each time you start a CS4 session or uninstalling the plugins that are generating this problem (as the culprit or the victim?) but I don't call this "avoiding the problem". Are you are aware of any fix that would make the problem totally disappear without having to do something specific each time you start CS4?

  • Arrange Documents menu blank

    This is actually a sub-thread of this one:
    Mylenium, "Initial issues with PS CS4 Extended Windows XP Pro." #1, 16 Oct 2008 8:52 pm
    Since several users, including me, have reported that the top part of the Arrange Documents menu is blank in PS CS 4, I thought it would be helpful to those doing a search on the problem.
    As seen in the other thread, removing the NIK plugins fixed at least one user's problem. In my case, it was removing the PhotoKit module from the Automate directory. I've been in touch with Pixel Genius Support about the PhotoKit problem, and they are having their engineer look into it.
    Bottom line, it seems that if you're having this problem you might want to start by removing plugins to see if that cures it.

    Chris - I appreciate the reply. It's frustrating though. CS4 has been out since mid-October - two months - and there is still finger pointing as to whose problem it is with various plug-ins, whether PixelGenius, NIK, OnOne, etc.; and even "fixed" plug-ins, like those from OnOne and NIK aren't fixed...they're workarounds or "live with it" solutions. Various plug-ins are an essential part of the workflow for many, probably the majority, of Photoshop users; it's disheartening that their seems to be so little collaboration between some of the major player and Adobe and vice-versa. I know it may be a bit too idealistic to think that updated plug-ins and the newest version of Photoshop would be released simulataneoulsy, but eight weeks without progress in some instances is baffling.

  • Arrange Documents Menu problem

    The top half of the Arrange Documents Menu is blank even with multiple documents opened.

    >or are you really saying I should have said 'either/or' rather than 'both/and'?
    Well, actually, yes! Maybe the correct way would have been: "it might be useful knowledge for any who might not frequent this forum and the Imagenomic forum".
    But then a cheerful "it might be useful knowledge for any who might not frequent this forum or the Imagenomic forum" could very well draw some attention of the
    sensors concerned.
    Come to think of it: "it might be useful knowledge for any who might not frequent this forum and if appropriate the Imagenomic forum" hits the nail on my head.

  • Arrange Documents CS4

    Hello
    One new feature in CS4 is 'arrange documents' and the drop down options.
    This works great. However when I close the open files and open some more
    CS4 has lost the settings I had. Is there somewhere to make it default to
    'my' settings - always do the same as last settings. For example 'float all in windows' would be the default to always open new files instead of tabbed always opening first.
    Thank You
    Forrest

    Ok Thank You. I think I found it. If anyone else would like the answer its uncheck 'Open Documents as Tabs' under prefs/interface/Panels & Documents

  • Application Bar's "Arrange Documents" goes blank when curser hovers over it

    Whenever the cursor hovers over the "Arrange Documents", "Screen Mode", "Launch Bridge", "View Extras", "Hand Tool", "Zoom Tool" and "Rotate View Tool" the icons go blank.
    When clicking on them (i.e. "Arrange Documents") only alphanumeric is displayed. When moving the cursor over the blank area where icons should be displayed, only the pop-up tool tips are displayed.
    Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
    Cheers,
    Michael

    There is a work-around...
    The following is NIK's answer to my question:
    "Thank you for your email. This is a known issue that will be resolved with a future update. Until then there is a work around where if you just close and reopen the selective tool, the issue will go away. You can reopen the selective tool by going under the File > Automate option inside of Photoshop."

  • Photoshop CS4 'Arrange Documents' dialog

    Photoshop CS4:
    Problem: With several documents open by going to the ‘Arrange Documents’ flyout dialog they could be arranged in the manner required - however the dialog flyout on my setup is blank - I can still arrange the documents by clicking on the appropriate blank area - but I would like to see the appropriate indicators back in the dialog - they used to be there!
    Any pointers to a fix for this?
    I have tried removing and restoring CS4 - this didn’t fix the problem.
    Thanks
    Hawkeye
     

    I removed Nik Silver Efex Pro and CS4 is happily back to where it should be - I have no real need for the Nik programme which I was trying out.
    Thank you for a rapid and correct response to something that's been annoying me for the past week or two!

    Can this Photoshop CS4 new document dialog issue be improved? Info in the pic.

    there's a feature request section at the top of the fourm allen. these kinds of posts should be done in there, so the programmers and engineers at adobe have them all in one place.

  • Where is the "Arrange Document" Icon in Top Menu Bar in PS CS6?

    PS CS5 had icons in the top menu bar where the "Arrange Documents" icons were located.  Now I can only find them in the Window drop down list.  Are they still available in CS6?  It was nice not having to find them in the "Window" drop down list.

    Some UI (or is it UX, nowadays) genius at Adobe has reduced accessibility of frequently used features.
    If there are particular arrangements you often use, assign keystrokes to the menu items.

  • CS4 Arrange Documents in Workspace?

  • "Arrange Documents" panel plugin bug - Please Adobe give technical details

    Hi,
    A lot of users are hit by this bug that appears when installing certain
    plugins under CS4 (Nik Software plugins for example):
    - the menu bar buttons that should be highlighted in color when hovering
    them switch to a full grey area.
    - the 2 top Panels in the Arrange Documents drop down menu are
    invisible.
    Adobe say this is a problem with older plugins and a misunderstanding
    about how resources are managed in plugins (read : it's a developer
    mistake) and plugin vendors don't make any firm statement about this
    issue.
    The workaround that generally works is to close and reload the plugin
    but this works only for the current session.
    It would be nice if Adobe could give us users clear and detailed
    technical information about this issue. Many of us are developers or
    power users and since the communication between the plugin vendors and
    Adobe doesn't seem to be that effective, at least we would be able to
    transmit the information to the vendor's technical support ourselves.
    And as a developer, I'd like to know what mistake so many developers
    have made when using the CS4 SDK.
    It's very annoying to live with such trivial problems since months
    without seeing any fix released.

    Chris,
    However, it seems that there's a communication problem about this
    particular issue, at least with some major vendors. I received a message
    from Nik Software yesterday telling me that they are aware of the
    problem and working on a fix. However, this is not a new problem and
    since it is apparently a well-known misunderstanding about how some PS
    APIs are working and since many plugins from various vendors are
    triggering this misbehavior of the PS UI, I guess this must have been
    documented somewhere. I can't imagine that this is not the case. If Nik
    Software had received the right information from Adobe, the problem
    should be gone since a long time.
    Well, ok, I'll ask on the SDK forum.
    Regards.

  • Document types show up twice when creating a new blank HTML document.

    I followed the below instructions for getting HTML 5 as a document type option  on CS4. Although I do have HTML 5 as an option now, my other stock CS4 document type options now show up twice in the menu. Any idea how to fix this?
    To add the HTML document type, however, you need to modify the file named MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml. Here’s how to do that:
    1. Find the configuration folder then navigate to the documenttypes folder. The Configuration folder can be found under the folder where you installed Dreamweaver.
    2. Find and make a backup copy of MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml (MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml.bak)
    3. Open MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml in your favorite text editor. If anything goes wrong, you can always get back to the default state by replacing your changes with the backup copy.
    4. Go to the end of the document and find the </documenttypedeclarations> tag and add the following lines just before the </documenttypedeclarations> tag:
    <documenttypedeclaration id="mm_html_5">
    <title>
    HTML5
    </title>
    <doctypedecl>
    <![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE HTML>]]>
    </doctypedecl>
    <rootelement>
    <![CDATA[<html></html>]]>
    </rootelement>
    <dtdcontext>html</dtdcontext>
    <dtdcontext>html5</dtdcontext>
    <dtdcontext>frameset_frame</dtdcontext>
    <dtdcontext>xslt</dtdcontext>
    </documenttypedeclaration>
    5. Save the document
    6. Restart Dreamweaver
    You should now have an HTML5 document type option when you create a new document.
    There was an issue with Dreamweaver CS4 that needed to be fixed in code to fully support HTML5 documents which is why upgrading to CS5 was recommended. In CS4, Dreamweaver’s definition of a well formed HTML document has a meta content type which isn’t required for HTML5 documents so, no matter what we do to CS4, any HTML document created by CS4 will have the following:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    Replace that line with this:
    <meta charset=utf-8">
    You’ll need to do this every time you create a new HTML5 document.
    Once you finish go to Preferences New Document and select HTML5 as default Doc Type...
    Thanks to:
    What I did was create a snippit of the meta and added it to my snippit's meta folder

    Hi,
    I have done a test and I can reproduced your issue.
    I referred to the blog about Automatically create Word documents which include list fields:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/brenclarke/archive/2009/04/15/automatically-create-word-documents-which-include-list-fields.aspx
    When I create a multiple line of text column in a list, I just choose Plain text, Then I solved the issue:

  • Down payment cancellation leads to blank accounting document

    Friends, my issue is such.  A cancelled down payment request (S1) billing document is generated without error.  If you look at the corresponding accounting document it is totally blank - no lines.  The customer account still shows the original postings (no reversal is posted).  However SD thinks it is cancelled and will not allow another vf11 of the original DP request.
    I am unsure if an issue with SD or FI-CA.
    This happens only very infrequently and I cannot reproduce the issue in test but it has been seen in production occassionally.
    We have only found one note that looked relevant at all but it is not the solution to the issue.
    Please advise if ever seen a blank accounting document related to a s1 SD doc for a down payment request.

    This happens only very infrequently
    What does this mean? You can use S1 cancellation document for down payment cancellation without any issue on certain times and occasionally happening? If so, then check any user exit (Enhancements SDVFX002-3-4-6) is causing this in the SD-FI interface.
    Regards,

  • Why Tools list does not include the widget "Arrange documents"?

    Why in the Configurator’s Tools list was not included the widget “Arrange documents” from  Photoshop’s Menu Bar? It would be great  to find N-up view  buttons in the Configurator’s Tools  list in future.
