Disable updating of the menu widget when working with Muse file?

First of all thank you Adobe for creating Muse - I really like it a lot!
My question:
when I work on my website with 250+ pages, it strains the performance to make even the slightest changes to the page structure. I work with two Masters each with much the same horisontal menu widget.
Adding, deleting and rearranging pages makes the PC (Windows 7 laptop of some but not awesome power) make a halt and take a deep breathe for some seconds. It really interupts the flow of working.
A crude work around for this is to removing the menu widget in the two masters and put it into a new master page, containing only the copied menu from the two other masters and keeping the rest of the header in place on the original masters to use for aligning on the pages. This way, only one page has to update when working with adding, deleting and rearranging pages.
I have tried to look for a preference to disable updating the Menu widget when working on the page structures and just enable it the update again when the work is done? does it exist? else I would recommend it strongly :-) Since my work around is a bit tricky/risky to use after publishing ;-)
Again, thanks a lot for this nice program. Being a selftought CS (now CCC) user I like the ease of control of the webdesign you can get with Muse (at the dispence of other features of course - if you ever wanted to add some sort of database-lookup feature it would be MUCH appreciated. One workaround is to use iframe and an external search/lookup page, that returns results with links back to parent pages. A bit funny construction though :-) ).

Glad to know you are enjoying Muse.
It can be very processor intensive if you have multiple Master pages with their own All Pages menu widget. Take a look at the following threads and refer to Zak's response.

See if you are able to use just one All Pages menu widget at your site while taking advantage of the hierarchical Master page feature.

We are aware of the performance issues caused by the Menu widget (All pages type) and is something being looked upon by the engineering in one of the upcoming releases.

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
We have implemented the following configuration
Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
\\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
reboot.
Considerations until now:
1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
\\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
Thanks to all who respond.

Dear all,
sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
What was done:
Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
Carefully recreated folder targets
Deleted and recreated replication groups
Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
Created EnableTCPA registry entry
Checked that the following Updates are installed

Unexpected problem: uncaught exception when working with audio files in Soundtrack Pro

Hey,
Whenever I double click an audio file in the timeline to work on it, I end up getting the Error message: "Unexpected problem: uncaught exception" and Soundtrack Pro eventually crashes. Also, this happens when I try to work with audio files in the file editor. I have Leopard and am using Logic Studio 8. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks
Matt

Didnt know how to remove the original clip from the STP arrange window - or whatever it's called in STPro. So I could go no further in my perverse science experiment.
It also appeared that I could only import an aif but not a wav?
I gave up on STPro and did what I needed to do in Logic, which I use regularly.
Thank you for folowing up on this.
PS. I used to use an old PowerPC version (1.0.3) of STPro and loved the way it visually showed the change in the waveform when you added each efffect. It appears that the new version (3.0.1) does not allow you to do this anymore? You can render or flatten the effects to see the final waveform, but then you are dead in the water and cant make changes?
Im such a newbie at STPro that I am probably not using it right?

How do I get all the dynamically related files to show when working with wordpress files in DW?

I have set up MAMP on my Mac and have set up a user in phpmyadmin. I have downloaded wordpress and put it in the mamp folder. I have defined the site at MAMP/htdocs in Applications. I have started to look at the files through the index.php files near the root folder. I pressed 'discover' underneath the document tab to discover dynamically related files. However, this only results in five extra files being shown in the document tab as can be seen in the screen shot provided. Apparently I should have loads to play with. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the best way to work with avi-files?

Hallo all,
I'm new to this forum so before asking my question I'd like to say some words about myself:
I'm not a native english speaker, so please excuse language mistakes I'll possibly make and feel free to ask if I'll write something which you don't understand due to this fact.
Half year ago I bought a HD Cam from Canon (Legria HF 200) which - in my opinion - has a good quality (good enough for my hobby films), and realized that cutting HD films on Windows would require a lot of expensive high end hardware. So I bought a MacBook and Final Cut Express - a decision I'm very happy with.
After the first disastrous tries to make a small clip I bought Tom Wolsky's "Editorial Workshop for FCE" and now I'm more happy than I was before (because I've seen that you're posting here: thanks for the great book!)
But now to my question:
I have 9 old PAL DV tapes (containing family clips which I'd like to cut now) recorded with my old JVC, which has a FireWire port only. Unfortunately my MacBook doesn't have such, so I have to capture to DV avi using a PC with Pinnacle Studio.
1.) The avi files are very large (between 13 - 18 GB). Because I'm not able to recapture due to the missing FireWire port I'd like to archive the material on an HDD. How should I convert the AVI to make it smaller without a great loss of quality but keeping the ability to use it in FCE (especially when reconnecting after creating the subclips from the original)
2.) I'd like to keep the whole captured tape content as master clip and work with subclips from it. Yesterday I converted such an AVI to Film using QuickTime (the size didn't change noticable) and used the DV-Start/Stop detection. Unfortunately that didn't work correctly - some of the markers have been set in the middle of the shots instead as expected exactly between them. Should I do this on the original AVI file to make it work? And if, is it possible to reconnect the subclips created this way to a MOV created from the original AVI?
3.) On the PC I get an xml file containing the correct position data of the subclips (as timecode, if I remember correctly). Is it possibly, to use this data in FCE to mark subclips? Maybe by putting it manually into an xml project file or something similar?
4.) Or is there any other way to solve my problem?
Sorry for the big post and thanks in advance,
André

You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
Thank's in advance again,
André

Two work-arounds for Siena when working with large files

MonaTech pointed out that Project Siena will crash when switching to the desktop or another app. I've also noticed this happening even when the monitor goes to sleep with inactivity. To be clear, this is *developing* in Siena, not after the app
you're working on has been compiled and installed.
The 'non-technical' work-around that has been successful for me is to split the screen before I switch to another app. It's not perfect but at least I can switch to another app (browser, desktop app, etc.) without losing where I'm at.
A more technical work-around is proposed in this thread:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c768be8f-3c85-444e-bb44-6f29abdecee7/project-siena-app-memory-issues-with-large-project-?forum=projectsiena
If you have a version of Visual Studio (that's not Express) it may do the trick for you.
FYI - In the post you'll see that Olivier responded and indicates that this is a known issue.

Problem of crashing in Ill. CS5 when working with big files.....

Hello, I'm working as a cartographer at Port of Rotterdam and frequently work with big maps in Illustrator CS5. As soon as the filesize exceeds 150 MB, and especially when small rasterfiles (mostly jpg's) are placed inside the document, either embedded or not-embedded, me and my collegue get notifications indicating "Can't show preview"or worse: The operation can't be concluded due to lack of RAM (dutch translation). This being a last warningsign just before CS5 collapses and it thus becomes impossible to make any Save on the document.... The hardware we work with: Quad Core 3GHz;NVidia Quadro 1GB;Windows XP with SP3, DirectX9; 8GB int. memory. We hope to find out the reasons of the frequent collapses and if you know of any possible solutions. On behalf of many of my collegues, thank you in advance for replying, greetings, Fred van Eck

There can be other causes for instance if your scratch disk is fragmented and if your scratch disk has gotten overloaded with actual files storage.
Or if the permissions for the scrtch has been changed for some reason.
The scratch need a lot of free contigious free space to work well with large files.
Even with CS 6 you can have a problem if your scratch is not healthy.
Do you have a dedicated drive or partition of one as a primary scratch, does the scratch have a fast enough buffer (cache)? Current drives run 32 MB and 64 MB cache.
Is the file stored on a fast disk?
If you work on large files consider storing them on a RAID 0 for while working on them and storing the final some where else.
CS 6 should be helpful but you need lots for RAM I would not run a system and work on large files with 8GB of memeory 16GB should be your minimum.
If you are working in a professional envoronment then you really need a professional set up and make your life easier and save money in the time you save.
It is expensive to set up but wotth it in the end.

Cannot download updates, and I can no longer work with RAW files without them. Help!

I used to be able to get Bridge to read RAW files, but I cannot any longer. I think I need an updated plug-in, but when I try to go to help-updates and download them, the message I get for all three (Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.5 update, Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Photoshop CS5, and Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 Update) is this: "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." I have tried shutting down and restarting the computer a few times over the course of several days, and have even tried updating my mac software. I always get the same message. Please help! Thank you!!

Ok, Adobe. I'm having a huge problem with your customer service here. You list no email or phone to contact you, yet I have spent hundreds of dollars on a product I can't use unless I can get an answer to this question, which appears to be a problem with your system. I've used the forum, which is the only option you list for contacting you, and have heard no response. Can anyone please help me?

After 2013-002 security update quick look preview does not work with Office files

As title, one of best feature of Snow leopard is definitively dead!!
Office.qlGenerator is at the same path. How can i solve this bug??

Hi Yeehat and thanks for your replay.
Doing my MacBook Pro is a production machine i preferred to not waste more time to proof understand the issue and try to solve it by a workaround.
So i have reinstalled SL and it's last combo update, repaired system permission by installation disk. Now all works fine and have had no problem with applications and other settings. Magic: no loss of data or app settings. Now Office file quick look previews all files (old and new).
Font Library also works well, except about a font that which it's probably corrupted (or not compatible even if it seems to be)
At the moment i've not installed the last security update...I'm too afraid of having to start all over again :-)))
First I'll try to read up best on solutions in case Quick Look do still the same issue.
I know that it is not a "solution" but i was wasting too much job time. I think i will survive a few more weeks without it !!! :-)
Thanks again

PE8 - Monitor Quality when working with MPEG2 files?

Hi,
I'm still looking into whether to buy premiere or not and have a few questions which may all be related:
- My original MPEG2 file is 704 x 576, Premiere exports as 720 x576. Are there really two different standards for widescreen?
- My original video is nice and clear, it's not so wonderful in the PE8 monitor. My short 1 minute MPEG2 did finish it's background rendering and has a green line over the clip. Why is this not the same quality? (I assume it's not due to it being the trial version, which has a big banner across the middle to prevent it being ripped off).
- Premiere reports "Display performance will be poor due to incorrectly operating card or driver", although I've read that is isn't necessarily a problem.
System Spec:
- Intel i7 2.8ghz 860 Quad core, Nvidia GT220 graphics card with 1GB memory, 4gb memory
- Windows 7 pro 64 bit (Windows expeirence index is 6.5 out of 7.5)
- latest video driver updated to 8.17.11.9675 (21/02/2010)
- Currently running on PE8 Trial.
- System disk: 37gb free (Intel X25-M solid state 80gb SATA2 disk), project/cache drive: 884gb free (SEAGATE 1.5TB Barracuda 7200RPM)

Thanks for the feedback.

You are stuck with giving PS less than 70% of the RAM resources or else you will starve computer and it may crash.
And if you run any other programs at the same time it takes more computer resources to keep everything running.
If running huge files you don't have many options. It may work better in CS5 or less as seems like every new version takes more horsepower, and CS6 sends a lot of work to the video card.

Is it possible to make an animated drop down menu and still use the menu widget?

Hi- I am trying to create a menu bar that is hidden with just a tab exposed to indicate that there is a menu there. Upon rollover, the full menu bar slides down and reveals the menu items. I can't find a way to make it smoothly slide down so I settled for the Photoshop button and just moved the button position in Photoshop to fake it. The problem is now I need to find a way to still use the menu widget along with this. if that can't be done, can I use the Photoshop button and populate the menu there and abandon the menu widget?
Someone suggested using Edge Animate ( why the hell is this a separate software from Muse?) to make the animation. If that's a possibility, can the menu widget be used with the Edge file that's imported? please help me get to where I need to go however it needs to happen! Thanks in advance.
Here's a link to a screenshot of my menu: http://www.groovindj.com/menu.jpg
Here's a site that does pretty much what I'm looking to do... www.bagigia.com

Ok, thanks! I have another way to do what I'm trying to do, I just thought it might be better to do it this way. Obviously I was wrong!
Thanks again!

What alternative CMS are there to Business Catalyst which work with Muse?

Hi there,
We built a new site in Muse and started using BC (for the CMS) over a year ago, and while we're very pleased with how the site now looks and performs, we feel we've outgrown BC/the CMS.
What alternatives do we have for the CMS that will work with Muse?
If it helps...
- We'd like a better search facility that can look at individual categories as we have several content holders such as News, Jobs, Features articles etc
- A page numbering system rather than a long list of items stored in the content holder (news items etc). IE at the bottom you see 1, 2, 3, 4, etc
- Tags - so key phrases or categories are suggested/shown with a value of news items
Any help much appreciated
Regards
Tom

Hi Tom,
Just showing my support to your question. I have found Catalyst a NON-2015 CMS, and I would really like to hear we have more options for managing our Muse made websites.
Any answer from the Adobe team?

The menu widget doesn't allow me to resize individual buttons!!!

Hi!
Since the latest update to muse, the menu widget just goes nanners!
It does not matter whether I untick 'edit together' and select 'unifor spacing' I still can't seem to resize individual buttons like I used to with muse 5 or 6. Furthermore, the menu widget will start resizing itself like crazy back and forth in any direction even if I slowly drag the vertical size up/down and so on.
What is going on?
I have a client waiting for his website and I can't even use the thing anymore since Jan 22 update (which I just installed today). I'll still work around it as it's not the actual menu I need anyway, just something to overlay over a photoshop bar to link to pages, but it still bothers me a lot that the widget is utterly useless now.
Any ideas?
Muse 7.2, Build 232
Windows 8.1

Hi RimVai!
I repeat, you must build up every button separately and link each button in Hyperlinks to the right Page as you did on video.
Please follow the instructions:
1. At first make only "Home Page".
2. Go to "Master Page".
3. Copy "Home Page" and paste it on "Master Page" by using Paste in Place feature.
4. Drag "Copy Home Page" to the right and you can edit "Copy Home Page" as you want.
5. Add "Copy Home Page" on Plan Mode and change the name of the Page.
6. Link Pages in "Hyperlinks" to the right Pages.
