Drag/drop import - how to make it always work?

HI
Sometimes drag and drop import will work
(Finder to Project pane, all OSX)
Sometimes it doesn't, as in sometimes the green plus sign appears, sometimes it doesnee
This irregularity seems to be when visually dragging and dropping, but also when App switching with Apple Tab, which works less often.
Is there any logic behind this?
Is there a way to make it always work?

Ah
I think it is actually an Apple App switcher thing.
So if the finder window does noy cover the After Effects Project window, it works, but if you have to use the app switcher, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I don't think it is a file type issue, so much as a live application issue, or maybe GPU related.
It's a weird thing, not that important, but it does limit where you can and can't drag from.

Thank you for your answer.
I do use cdn off for publish setting.
The Web site that I am working on is a very complicated site. Edge
animations are in a subdirectory of Apache server.
When server is offline, I get all files from Appcache without problem,
excepted *_EdgePreload.js.
I Google hundreds time, cannot find answer on why this file is always get
online.
Finally, I find out myself, Adobe Edge don’t like relative file path for
*_EdgePreload.js.
Change to root absolute path fixed the problem:

YES! How to make PRINT QUOTAS WORK with 10.4

How to make PRINT QUOTAS WORK in 10.4
After struggling for quite some time, I finally found a pretty simple way to make print quotas work.
First, I’ll tell you our setup. We have 3 different computer centers with a variety of eMacs and new Intel iMacs, all clients are running 10.4.8, and each of those 3 centers has its own HP Laserjet 4200 printer. Our dual G5 server is running Server v.10.4.8. Client computers and printers have static IP addresses. All clients are bound to the server with the standard WorkGroup Manager/ LDAPv3 Directory Access scheme - such that all students login to the clients with their network username/password to mount their home directory on the client.
Next, I’ll tell you what does not work. IF YOU WANT PRINT QUOTAS TO WORK, you cannot use Workgroup Manager to assign a printer to any managed user account, user group, or computer group. Why? Because when you go to a client, and Show Info on the printer that is being pushed by Workgroup Manager, you’ll see that the queue name is not the queue that you’ve setup in Server Admin. Instead, you’ll see the queue name is “MCX” or something along those lines. Even if you manually edit the Workgroup print preference file that is being pushed to clients, it still will not work.
Drawbacks of my technique: In my case, students will see all 3 printers (1 from each lab) available to them no matter which lab they are in. Not the best, but for now I think it’ll be worth it to be able to control wasteful printing. Students may be able to move/delete the preference file (see below), but they’ll only be hurting themselves, as they won’t have any printers at all then.
Okay, here’s how I did it:
1. If you have setup any printers to be pushed out via Workgroup Manager’s preference enforcement to individual users, usergroups, or computer groups, turn those preferences off and leave them off.
2. Delete any existing printers in your Printer Setup Utility and/or Server Admin. Add and setup a new printer queue using the Server Admin> Print service. I added the printer through the Server Admin application, not Printer Setup Utility (may not matter). However, I did go into that latter utility to set the model of the printer. Now, back in Server Admin, edit the printer queue to turn on these services IPP, LPR (bonjour off), and of course check off the enforce quotas box. (No student Windows clients, so I didn’t tinker with SMB print service). I went ahead and specified the standard cover sheet – it will be handy while troubleshooting.
3. In Workgroup Manager, select the users that you want to enforce quotas upon, go to the Printer Quota tab (not the preference pane) and, in my case, I selected All Queues and specified a quota, and clicked Save.
4. Delete all printers that appear in the Printer Setup Utility from each client computer (I know, UGH).
5. For all network users, you need to edit a preference file and put it into each user’s home directory. That file is “com.apple.print.favorites.plist” and as you guessed, it needs to go into the Library> Preferences folder of every one of your network users’ home directories. Now, the content of that file is crucial… what it should show is the name of the queue(s) you created in Server Admin above, and be immediately followed by an “@” and the address of the server that is hosting that queue. For example, my queue’s name is TCStudentQ and the server’s address is student.mydomain.org… so my preference file has this entry: [email protected]. If you have more than one queue, you’ll have more entries. Be sure that the network user has at least Read level access under Group or Others. I’d recommend making the server System account the Owner of the file, and be sure to lock the file so the users can’t easily trash it. If you don’t know how to create this file in the first place, what you can do is go to a client computer, and log into the client with a dummy network account. Then open Printer Setup Utility, and you should see the queue you created in step 2. Add that printer, and then the file will be created in your dummy account’s home directory under Library> Preferences. Now you can use that file to distribute to other user’s folders… but don’t forget that each user needs Read level access.
6. That’s it. Works for me. When they exceed the quota, all that spits out is the cover page. It’d be nice if there was a quota monitor utility on the client side so users can see how many pages they have remaining and when the quota will automatically reset. I plan to start the quota on a Monday morning and go on a weekly duration. Not sure what a good starting point is… perhaps 25 pages every school week.
7. Hey Apple Computer, Inc. Server Developers & Project Managers, I truly hope you’re reading this and can explain why print quotas don’t function as you have documented and advertised. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I’ve spent way too much time discovering this workaround, and I know it will help thousands of others with the same problem. I can see where your Print Quota system breaks down, and I think you need to fix these issues or at least document them. Don’t forget to fix serious 10.4 Server bugs before leaving it behind for 10.5 Server – many of us will continue using 10.4 Server for at least another year or two.

David,
Your assumption that I didn't read the documentation is incorrect. I read that 10.4 documentation over and over - followed it to the letter to no avail. Perhaps it was updated in the last few weeks? So, do you have a fully operable printer quota system in conjunction with a managed computer or user group that has a managed printer pushed to the group via Workgroup Manager? I can push a managed printer to a managed group without a problem, but the quotas won't be enforced unless I use the workaround above and cut Workgroup Manager's managed/pushed printer out of the picture.
I know this is a user-to-user forum - however, I'm also aware that Apple tech support often chime in here, so it doesn't hurt to post a message to them in the context of a larger posting about a 'known issue'. I have used the server feedback form... hasn't seemed to me to be very helpful in the past.

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work.

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work. Running a Mac, 10.6.8, I am cleaning up hard drives, organizing old files. There are times lightroom 4.2 (and before) does not recognize already imported raws and does not gray them out. These are backed up cards and folders of of raw images. Why is the "do not import selected duplicates" check box not working???!!!

There's a known (and old) bug when duplicate identification fails on photos

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

How to make QuickTime "Always on Top"

Was browsing the Discussions trying to figure out how to make QuickTime 7.1.3 "Always on Top" on Windows XP, but judging by the unresolved threads I gather Apple forgot to include that option.
Anyway, I've just discovered a free download that allows you to get around this problem: HELDUP. It creates a tray icon that you can click and drag onto QT (or any open program) to make it topmost/always on top.

Thank you!!
I can't believe that Apple would "forget" a stay on top of windows feature.
It has been driving me mad.
...Apple, specifically, QT developers, are you listening?

Drag&Drop from Lightroom to Premiere doesn't work! Programming an alternative?

Unfortunally the is no working Drag&Drop ability to drag a videofile from the Lightroom Library into the Premiere Project View.
(This Problem appears only on a Windows machine not on Mac)
This is becaus if you send a (valid) filepath to "Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" as a parameter it doesn't do anything! Why that?!?!?
It makes no difference if you drop a file on "Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" or if you use the windows command shell like "C:/...<path to premiere>.../Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" "myfile.avi" , simply nothing happens - at least with Premiere Pro CS5...
So the Idea is to build an Lightroom Plug-In, that opens an exe-file with the filepaths of the currently selected Viedeos from the Lightroom Library as parameter.
The exe-file should pass the information to an opened Project in Premiere an load the Videos into the Project.
With ExtendScript Tool i can get this behaviour with this code:
var myFiles = ["C:\\01.avi, ..."];
app.project.importFiles(myFiles);
I don't think that the Premiere SDK will help me out, because with that I can only build Plug-Ins that work INSIDE Premiere. I need a Executable that can send information/files to Premiere from Outside. The only thing I can think of is to load the right dll-file and call the function() for importing files to Premiere (I think this is what ExtendScript Tool does ), but I don't know how to start, because nothing is documented about the dlls...
Any Ideas

EDIT:
Ok, I identified the dll which is importing Video-Files to Premiere: HSL.dll
At my pc it is located in:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\"
The function that is called is named ImportFiles(...)
That's the whole code, reverse engineered:
HSL::ImportFiles
    std::vector <
                std::basic_string <unsigned short, std::char_traits<unsigned short>, dvacore::utility::SmallBlockAllocator::STLAllocator<unsigned short> >,

                >
    const&,
    bool,
    bool,
    std::vector <
                ASL::InterfaceRef<BE::IProjectItem, BE::IProjectItem>,
                std::allocator<ASL::InterfaceRef<BE::IProjectItem, BE::IProjectItem> >
                >&,
    std::vector <
                std::pair<int, std::basic_string<unsigned short, std::char_traits<unsigned short>, dvacore::utility::SmallBlockAllocator::STLAllocator<unsigned short> > >,
                std::allocator<std::pair<int, std::basic_string<unsigned short, std::char_traits<unsigned short>, dvacore::utility::SmallBlockAllocator::STLAllocator<unsigned short> > > >
                >&,
    ASL::InterfaceRef<BE::IProjectLoadStatus, BE::IProjectLoadStatus>&,
    DLG::ImportFromEDL::ImportFromEDLDialog*,
    std::basic_string<unsigned short, std::char_traits<unsigned short>, dvacore::utility::SmallBlockAllocator::STLAllocator<unsigned short> > const*,
    DLG::ImportFromEDL::ImportNewSequenceMediaParamsDialog*
Can anybody "read" that , or anybody know how to get this working with c++?

How to make Folder Action work on file, subfolder content change?

Hi!
I looking for information in how to make a Folder Action, Work Flow or any action from Automator to work on file change and not only on deletion, moving or insertion. What I want to know is if it's possible to trigger some script or app while monitoring a folder and its contents, files and subfolders, changes. Meaning that when I have a file that has its contents updated the action will be triggered like an txt file that I only insert a new line in it, for example.
Is there any solution that is not third party? Is there an internal Mac OS X solution that would work on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion?

i have same problem. i would like to move automatically saved Word backup copy to another folder, but the folder action doesn't recognize the save as a new file that needs to be acted upon.

E535 - How to make USB stick working again

Hi all!
Recently my E535 does not recognize my USB stick anymore.
Other computers do recognize it, the E535 not.
I already formatted the stick, but that makes not difference to the E535.
The device manager does not show any suspicious device.
The disk manager does not show the stick's partition.
When I stick in the stick, the USB devices icon in the task bar shortly shows up, but then immediately disappears.
Interestigly the Lenovo Solution Center shows up three 'unknown device's.
Does anyone have any idea how to make my E535 accept my USB stick again?
Kind regards,
Gerald
PS:
I have Windows 8.1 Pro installed and up-to-date. Also the DriverToolKit says, that all drivers are up-to-date.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Gba,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issues with USB flash drive not able to detect on your ThinkPad E535.
Go go device manager expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers and uninstall all the adapter from there and restart the system and check it once.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

How to make Bluetooth keyboard work?

Firstly, I have spent over an hour reading this, that and the other. Nothing seems to make it work.
It did work. For a while.
Now it just seems to spontaneously decide to stop accepting input. Or sending keys. Or whatever the issue is.
0. The batteries are fine, they're at 94%
1. It's on.
2. It's connected.
3. It's "discoverable".
4. It's a "favourite" device.
5. The keyboard test app works just fine.
6. Sometimes the delete key on the keyboard works.
7. Command-tab on the keyboard always works (so far).
8. Disconnecting and reconnecting does not resolve.
9. Reading Apple's support notes on this does not resolve it.
10. The Bluetooth mouse is just fine... (unlikely it's an interference problem in that case, as you'd think the mouse would struggle too in that case)
11. It's ****-near brand new. Only on the second lot of batteries.
12. Cap-lock is not responding (but then most keys aren't). Difference here is that the LED for caps on isn't coming on.
Conclusions so far:
1. It can't be off or the sending that's the problem, since command-tab always works, it's clearly on and sending.
2. I do not consider "reboot the computer" a solution. That's the same as saying "this is completely broken in a way that cannot be resolved properly". I'm just giving repliers a head's up here. (Part of the reason is that what's the point in a robust OS if you have reboot it for silly issues?)
Anyway, the latest reboot hasn't resolved it...
So... what gives?

Hmm. No responses, eh?
A temporary not-a-fix seems to be to bail out and save every open program, shutdown the computer, turn the power off, wait for a bit, then bring it all back up again. Not holding my breath for this to provide a long-term solution.
This suggests to me that Apple has a deeper problem is needs to fix, firmware perhaps, perhaps the SMC chip design?, goodness knows what. But I doubt it's just a software muck-up if I'm having to power it right down in order to clear it out.
