CS4 file hunting, or not, depending how CS4 feels!

Photoshop CS4 seems to be RIDDLED with bugs!!!! Sometimes windows lock into others and can't be moved away (even though I have REPEATEDLY unchecked this option in prefs)
Often I am loading files from Bridge (which incidentally is constantly crashing) and all I see are the CS4 pallets, I then have to select the file itself (through the pull down menu) in order to get all my files to return.
I have absolutely NO idea why I "up"graded to CS4, I had NONE of these issues in CS3 but now my workflow is significantly more annoying and problematic. I WON'T be "up"grading any further.
I am running CS4 on the exact same system that I ran CS3 on (which didn't have these issues) which is a 24" iMac, 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB (677Mhz) ram and an NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT graphics card.
Oh yeah, also forgot to mention that when I hide CS4 all the files will be hidden... except one which stays on the desktop, I can click the amber button on it to make it disappear to the dock which then causes the frame of the document to disappear and leave the image still sitting there, again another highly annoying thing.

Chris, havn't updated to 11.0.1, will do that. With regard to third party plugins, I only have an Epson 4990 import for an essential scanner. With regard to spaces, well the problem does feel as tough it could relate to spaces BUT the issue for me is I (ideally) really need to use spaces as I'm often switching apps.
If this (spaces) is the issue would it be to do with the Mac OS or would it be a compatibility issue with CS4?? i.e. who's written the dodgy software part??
Thanks for the constructive input Chris.
Regards,
A.

With PS 7 create new Place two objects on the new file then you may cut copy and paste Cs2 create new place two object on the new file Cut is not available how does one cut and paste in new file

With PS 7

If your using File>Place then photoshop cs2 creates what's known as Smart Objects, which photoshop 7 didn't have.
In photoshop cs2 you can rasterize the smart objects and that should make the Cut function available.
Select both placed layers, right click on the area to the right of the tumbnail and select Rasterize Layers.
If in photoshop cs2 you to Help>Photoshop Help and look under Layers>Smart Objects, that should give you a good overview of what smart objects are.

HELP!, i had a massive pst file, i did not realize how massive, it is messing up everything and I want to "unimport" the pst, it is overwelming the server

I have a monzilla email account. I had a massive pst file, six years worth from another computer. When I imported this file I did not realize how massive it was,
I want to disconnect this pst from my monzilla account, how do I do that. I keeps down loading thousands of emails to the server and is crashing, locking up, the server exceeding "quota".
I need to kill it now please.
Thanks,

Mac: - restore orginal host file | Apple Support Communities
Or get in contact with the support of the Operating system and ask them to guide on getting the Host file restored.
It is a System Related file, they should be able to assist you in restoring it to default.

In my aperture the camera file name does not show under the photo how do I get it to show

In my aperature dislay the camera file number does not show how do I get it to show

Where exactly is the filename missing? Aperture has plenty of places to display metadata.
You configure and enable the display of metadata by defining Metadata presets. One place todo this is the little baggage label icon below the browser:
Press the icon,enable the display of metadata overlays for Browser and Viewer, then press "Edit" to customize the display of the tags you want to be displayed.

In CS4 Use of File Place Does Not Center Images

I have been using CS3 for about 1 1/2 years, so of course had to give CS4 a try. I downloaded the trial. I immediately had an issue with File > Place.
I often use File > Place to add additional items into a document. I believe the expected functionality of File>Place is that the file should then be centered in the document.
Here is what I have done:
+ Create a 12"x12" document at 200ppi (I have also tried to create a document at 2400x2400 pixels)
+ Use File>Place to add a square 2400x2400 pixel image (JPG file) into the document
+ The added layer is now offset ever so slightly in the new document.
+ Further observation shows that the horizontal reference point is at 1202 (screen shot attached), thus creating an offset from center. I change it to 1200 and sure enough the paper is centered perfectly. I thought maybe changing it once would make it the same next time, but that is not the case.
+ When I used the File>Place command, I was zoomed out (25%), and the entire image was viewable on screen. If I zoom out further, say 8.33%, the offset is 1206.
I am able to duplicate this on two different computers with the following configurations:
Computer #1
+ Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP2
+ AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ (3.01GHz)
+ 4GB RAM
+ nVidia GeForce 8600 GT, driver version 6.14.11.5819
Computer #2
+ HP Pavilion dv9843cl Laptop
+ Windows Vista x64 SP1
+ Intel Core Duo processor T8100 (2.1 GHz)
+ 4GB RAM
+ nVidia GeForce 8600M GS with 512MB DDR dedicated graphics memory, ForceWare version 167.43
+ Video BIOS version: 60.83.4f.00.22
Operating System: Windows XP Professional
Browser: Firefox
Video display card / driver version: nVidia GeForce 8600 GT, driver version 6.14.11.5819
Screen shot (not sure if this works in these forums):

Any ideas?????

"Place" ..... It is not all the easy to understand how place works without studying its behavior. Often it will work in a way your not expecting if you do not understand how it works. There is a setting in Photoshop preferences Resize Image during Place. Un Checking this setting does not mean the image will not be resize nor does checking this setting mean that it will be resize. On top on top of that the seems to be something in Photoshop on My system that keeps changing the setting to the checked state.
What the heck am I writing am I trying to make this worse. No I'm not. To prove that I first tell you it is very easy to center position a placed layer in an action after the Place step add a step select all the two layer>Align layers to selection>Horizontal Center then vertical center. The deselect...
Place....
There is a lot going on remember in Photoshop a Layer can be any size Larger/smaler/same as the canvas and can have any aspect ratio. If the placed image has more pixels them a canvas side size and the preference is checked the placed image will be transformed to fit within the canvas size. If not checked the placed image will transformed to the same dpi resolution so no pixels will be changed. The only time a place image is not transformed is when the the preference is not checked and the placed image file has the same dpi as the current Photoshop Document. In this cast the image is placed in at 100% size be it smaller/larger/same as canvas size.

Illustrator CS4 - frequently generates corrupt EPS files that will not parse

I have used many versions of Illustrator prior to and including the CS lines. I am currently running CS4 and this is the first time I have experienced this issue. Approximately half of my EPS formatted illustrator files will not parse. I use Quark Xpress 7 for my layout (never liked any of the Indesign programs). If I try to generate a PDF with my CS4 generated EPS files placed at least 60% of the time the placed file will corrupt the PDF export resulting in no PDF being generated.
Further to this PDF export issue, if I attempt to parse the same EPS file into Photoshop, Photoshop will give me the error message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript" and it will abort the attempt to open the file.
Anyone else having Illustrator EPS file issues?
Background info (if needed) Dual 2.0 Ghz, PowerMac G5, 8 gb RAM, running Tiger 10.4.11
I have attached a sample Illustrator file that will not Parse. It will open in Illustrator but not parse into Photoshop or if placed in Quark will not parse and allow for a PDF to be exported.

Thanks for taking the time to write Steve.
I understand that I can drag and drop between programs. Ultimately, when attempting to parse an EPS in photoshop I am merely doing it to confirm that the EPS is indeed corrupt.
As mentioned previously, I predominately use Quark Xpress for my page layout program and until I installed CS4 I have had zero complications with using EPS files. Now I quite commonly can not export PDFs due to corrupt EPS files.
My question to the public is I am alone in this glitch or do others experience the same issue. My first thoughts are that CS4 has a glitch and I should be expecting an update in the near future. But, if I am the only person suffering from this issue than maybe I should be looking at my own software.

Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)?

Essentially, the curretTarget property always refers to the object that has the event listener assigned to it, while the target property could be any object inside that object. But it is also dependent on the type of event being listened for.

How do I exclude directories from Finder search results? I'm trying to find the biggest FILES on my computer and it keeps showing me "Macintosh HD" as the biggest, how can I search for files of type "NOT folder/directory"?

Basically I've lost 10GB of free space over the last few weeks so my plan was to search for files modified in the last 2 weeks in order to figure out which ones are big and where that space went.
So I open finder, go to "File > Find", and enter a search:
Modified > In the last 2 weeks
All fine so far.
Problem is, it's showing whole directories as results. Which essentially means that when I order the list by size, Macintosh HD is at the top, followed by "Users", then "Applications", then one of my bigger movie files, then "Library", etc.
How can I do a search which will ignore folders? I want individual files. Knowing that Macintosh HD is the biggest item on my computer and was modified in the last 2 weeks is utterly useless to me.
Older versions of Finder in OS 9 had a feature where you could search for "files, whose type "IS NOT" folder", but OS X doesn't seem to have such a feature.
Can anyone help?

How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

I want to store my music files on a NAS (which has an iTunes server built in), but I'm not sure how this will affect my iPhone sync. Will I need a local copy of my music on a computer in order to continue to sync?

Hi,
I have an iPhone and I sync playlists to it from iTunes. (I have far in excess of 16GB of music/podcasts.)
What I want to do is permanently share my music library with all devices in the house, so I'm planning on buying a NAS server that has a built-in iTunes server. (I don't want to just use my computer to share and leave it on 24/7 because that is a phenominal waste of power.) That way all networked computers can just load the library under the 'SHARED' option in the left pane. However, this had me wondering about how I will continue to sync my music to my iPhone? I wondered if I will need to maintain a duplicate of the library on one of my computers, and then have my iPhone sync with that. Otherwise I'm not sure how it'll work.
Any help/comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Tom.

Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.
