Dreamweaver auto selects/highlights entire blocks

Whenever I'm working in Code View and click on a line in the script to begin typing, Dreamweaver automatically selects the entire block of script and I either have to double-click on the block to release it or if that doesn't work I have to double click the "Wrap Tag" button. It also does this everytime I click to another document tab. It seems like something I should be able to turn off, but I haven't been able to find the setting.
Any ideas?

I can't say I've experienced this problem myself, but you could try the following troubleshooting tip:
If Dreamweaver is behaving in an odd way, it frequently means you have a corrupt personal configuration folder.
Close Dreamweaver, locate the personal configuration folder, and rename it.
When you restart Dreamweaver, it should create a new configuration folder with all the program defaults.
For details of how to find the configuration folder, see this page in the Dreamweaver FAQ.

How to Turn Off the Auto-Select Function When Clicking In a Document?

Whenever I click my cursor within any document (Mail, Text, this post) sometimes an entire word is selected (highlighted in blue) rather than the cursor just being there blinking & ready for me to type. If I click again the entire line is selected, then the whole paragraph.
This is VERY frustrating when all I want to do is place my cursor within the document to edit or begin typing. If I'm not careful and click in a document and just start typing, the auto-selected text is deleted. Yikes!
Only my Mac Mini with the Leopard OS 10.5.8 does this, not my PowerBook w. Tiger OS 10.4.11. Thanks for any advice on this.

Correct, Sig.
When I checked the Double-Click speed in prefs, it was set all the way to the left -- SLOW. When I set it half-way to the right, problem was solved. Thanks much.

Editor Auto-Selects Text Won't Edit CS4

Hi,
I dunno what I did, but after 2 happy years with CS4, the editor has started doing something very annoying. Probably a stupid thing -I- did but I can't figure it out.
When I open a document, the cursor struggles to auto-select either an entire 'block' (eg. a DIV or even the entire file) and when I try to edit, it refuses... simply trying to 'select' the appropriate surrounding block of -whatever- rather than simply allowing for -editing-. What I have to do is double click on some arbitrary spot in the code, enter a space, then remove the space... and then it magically 'gives up' the fight and allows for straight editing.
What's going on? As I said, I'm sure it's some goofy preference but I can't figure out what it is.
Any ideas?
TIA,
---JC

Hey that worked!
Annoyed that I had to re-do all my windows but... what the hey...
Still wondering what 'preference' that is, though.
THANKS!

Auto selection of file from folder during uploading??

Hi all friends,
Iam facing with one problem I am developing one uploading software for that i have used swing and servlet.Now my problem is i want to give auto selection of file from one folder means user just copy the files from any computer on network and paste it in predefind folder.And when they click on upload button it should start uploading of file one by one and after completion of uploading it move that file into another folder one by one.Now my software doing it perfectly but if user copy and paste any file in that predifined folder from network computer during uploading then they have to click upload button again after completion of first queue of files(for example if user first copy 10 files and start uploading and inbetween uploading of that 10 files if user copy another 10 files from network computer then they have to click on upload button again after completion of uploading of first 10 files).But my user requirement is they want to click on upload button once only at the time of starting my application and my application automatically select the file one by one from folder and send it to destination.Means if they copy the file from network machine inbetween uploading or any other user from network send file in that folder then my application should select those file automatically and start uploading means they don't want to click on upload button again.Can any one plz guide how I can slove this problem.Below r my codes:-
Upload.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
suspendflag=true;
Resume.setEnabled(false);
Suspend.setEnabled(false);
dest=frame.m_txtURL.getText();
File ff=new File("d:\\DTMS\\Upload");
File[] files = ff.listFiles();
fileList = new Vector();
if(files == null)
textArea.append("There is no file");
return;
else
for (int j = 0 ; j< files.length ; j++)
fileList.add(files[j]);
java.util.Collections.sort(fileList, new FileComp());//sorting by size
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run(){
for (int k = 0; k < fileList.size(); k++)//loop for queue {
File fname = (File)fileList.get(k);
String str=fname.getName();
log("Destination:" +" "+ dest);
log("Uploading Progress\nPlease Wait....");
result=doPost(fname,dest);//method for read file & send to servlet
String str2="Transfer apparently failed.";
String str3=result;
if(str2.equals(str3)){
Error(result);
else if(suspendflag==true){
File newfile =new File("d:\\DTMS\\Archives\\"+str);
fname.renameTo(newfile);
log("File" +" "+ str+" "+"Upload Completed !");
else if(suspendflag==false){
Error("** Transfer Suspended**");
}).start();
}catch(Exception exp)
Error("Error : " + exp.toString());

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.
more path shortcuts:

Auto Select Layer - where is it?

I have "auto select" turned on for the Move Tool and I click on a layer. How can I get Photoshop's Layer palette to scroll what I selected? I'm having to scroll up and down a lot trying to find my highlighted layer.

It should work.
What version of photoshop and operating system?
Do you have auto-select set to layer or group?

'Ignore Adjustment Layers' when auto selecting

Auto select - being able to highlight layers based on where you click in the image, is a very useful option. Especially for design based work.
What I want is a way to specify the auto-selecting of active layer content only (this could be pixel or vector of course). And for it not to pick up adjustment layers.This could be an additional option in the move tool options bar. It would also be picked up with the Command and Shift command shortcuts (control on PC) which are so useful as they are.
Unfortunately for those of us that work with very complex layered structures, with many adjustment layers at the top level - auto select will also pick up WHITE areas on masks which have content other than 100% white or black. Its actually quite rare than you want to highlight adjustment layers in this way, and it really gets in the way. It very quickly becomes impossible to auto-acivate layers underneath any masked adustment layers
I am also aware of the contextual Control click and choose any layer under the icon, but this is not a replacement.

A workaround to avoid auto selecting adjustment layers is to lock the adjustment layer.
But an option in the Move tool will be more elegant solution.

Move tool layer context menu acting differently to "Auto Select"?? (using 12.0.4)

Okay,
This is weird. I've just updated my mac photoshop to 12.0.4 and I'm finding that, when using the Move Tool and right/command clicking on an object, the context menu that pops up isn't selecting the right layer?
To be clear, it is highlighting a layer (this is not the initial Photoshop 12.0 bug that drove everyone mad until the update) but it's the wrong one? Results vary depending on where I'm clicking, sometimes it's "close" to the layer I want, say the group it's nested within, other times it's a million miles off.
Yet when I switch on "Auto Select" it's pin-point accurate again? It's like the brain has dropped out of my context menu and it doesn't know what to select.
Obviously I can keep switching "Auto Select" on, but that's an annoying change to my work flow and will slow me down no end. Mores to the point, clearly something is up here.
I've updated to 12.0.4 on my home imac (on 10.5.8 OSX if that helps) but I've been using 12.0.3 (possibly 12.0.2) in the studio where I work and never noticed this issue, it's just now after updating to 12.0.4 at home i'm noticing this weirdness.
Anyone have any ideas, I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance people,
G

To reset the tool I suggest click on it once and then look for something like this in the bottom half of your window:
In the above picture I have marked one section in red box. You need to click on it to get the option to either reset the only tool you have clicked or to reset all the tools in the editor window. Of course you have to be in Expert Mode to get this to work.
Good luck.

Auto select an item in a child node of a TreeView UI control?

Hi There,
I'm having some issues with a TreeView control in my UI that I cannot seem to resolve, and thought I would ask if anybody here has done this type of thing. My TreeView is made up of a collection of nodes, each with some child items. When the window containing the TreeView displays, I populate it with the nodes. I want to be able to script the selection within the TreeView, but I want the script to select a child items, not just their parent nodes. Is this possible? I know it is possible to selecting the parent nodes in a TreeView, but I cannot seem to get the code for selecting, via scripting, a child item of a node in a TreeView. Any thoughts on how to acheive this?
Thanks for your time and help!
Best,
Arie
Here is some of the code I am using for auto-selecting child items of nodes in the TreeView:
                    //Code to populate the TreeView (picker) goes here
                    //Highlight the last selection
                    for (var i=0; i < picker.items.length; i++)
                        if (picker.items[i].title == SAVED_TITLE){
                            picker.selection = picker.items[i];
                            picker.selection.expanded = true;
                            for (var x=0; x < picker.selection.items.length; x++) {
                                if (picker.selection.items[x].marker == SAVED_MARKER){
                                    picker.selection = picker.selection.items[x]; //turns out the indices are relative to it's parent, not the picker's indices
                                    break;
                            break;

How do I select the entire text when the focus is moved to one TextBox?

How do I select the entire text when the focus is moved to one TextBox?
There are three TextBoxes. I use <TextBox TabIndex="1"/> to set the order they are selected. When I enter one specific TextBox, I would like to have the entire text selected ... one key stroke removes all of the text in that TextBox.
bhs67

I do it the following way:
1. Override the OnStartup for the application. Use the following code: (VB.NET)
EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(GetType(TextBox), TextBox.GotFocusEvent, New RoutedEventHandler(AddressOf TextBox_GotFocus))
2. In the event handler use this code (again VB.NET)
Private Sub TextBox_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
_theTextBox = CType(sender, TextBox)
If setFocusTimer IsNot Nothing Then
RemoveHandler setFocusTimer.Tick, AddressOf setFocusTimer_Tick
End If
setFocusTimer = New DispatcherTimer
setFocusTimer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(10)
AddHandler setFocusTimer.Tick, AddressOf setFocusTimer_Tick
setFocusTimer.Start()
End Sub
Private Sub setFocusTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
setFocusTimer.Stop()
_theTextBox.SelectAll()
End Sub
What this does is register a handler for every textbox in your application. This will execute when the GotFocus event is raised and will allow you to do whatever (in this case select all) you want. A great way of handling things at the application
level.

Relinking no longer auto-selects the file

I've noticed something since upgrading to CS 5.5 that has created a minor inconvenience for me, and I was wondering if it was a preference I can change.
Previously, if you open an InDesign document that had missing links, you could click "relink", navigate to the correct folder, and voilà! it would find the file inside that folder and select it for you. This was immensely handy when you had a folder with several hundred files and yours happened to be named something that was somewhere in the middle. Now, with CS 5.5, you can navigate to the correct folder but then you have to manually find the file and select it yourself.
I know it probably sounds like I'm being a whiny baby about this, and I probably am, but I'd really like to get this function back if possible. We have hundreds of thousands of images that are 'organized' by someone who is organizationally challenged, so we have folders with several thousands of photos, all named IMG_XXXXX. Finding IMG_51728 when the list goes from IMG_00230 to IMG_91748 can be a serious headache.
As a thought, though, this may be a Lion-based problem and not an InDesign problem, as Lion does not allow me to perform finder searches on external hard drives that aren't formatted to it's liking, and reformatting these drives are not an option. However I also run into this problem with files linked on my hard drive as well as externals.
Anyone know if there's a fix?
For the record, I'm using InDesign CS5.5 on a MacBook Pro, running OSX 10.7.2

That’s correct Bob and that behaviour is fine for the purpose which it is intended i.e to relink when a job has moved in the filesystem or across workstations. The file selection/highlighting behaviour may just have been a quirk but it was a useful one in some specific scenarios. Mine was (magazine production workflow):
Images are placed by a layout artist in the format they are supplied (usually JPGs). The job folder is then passed to a prepress operator to perform finished cutouts and retouching. They output a corrected PSD into the same job’s images folder. They alt+tab to Indesign, select the image and got to Relink. The app file browser window opens and the linked JPEG is highlighted. Immediately above/below it is the matching new PSD (if they’re sorted by name). It therefore becomes far less likely that the operator will select the wrong file to relink because of the new PSD’s immediate proximity to the JPG.
With no highlighting the operator has to scroll/search for the file visually (with one eye on the window title bar to get the ridiculously long but fabulously descriptive filename :) to relink and this not only slows them down but also greatly increases the possibility of a selection error without the visual cue.
This may sound like a trivial gripe, but when some layouts contain large numbers of images, some of which are visually similar (and therefore can not easily be spotted shifting when the Relink is committed) it becomes an issue.
To be fair to Adobe:
1. This is not a normal scenario for the vast majority of users.
2. It was probably only a happy accident that files were highlighted in the first place.
Anyway I have a workaround. I asked my picture editor to convert all images to PSD before they’re placed :-)

Batch handle with 'Auto Select' option

Hello Everyone!
We are trying to find out how the 'Auto Select' button works with batch handle.
Our customer wants to handle batches by FIFO.
We need to try if it is possible to 'Auto Select' batches by 'Admission Date'. Even when we found out that it is possible SBO does not do it rightly, because not always get well organized by 'Admission Date'.
Somebody knows which logic uses the 'Auto Select' option to select batches?
There is some configuration at SBO to handle batches by 'Admission Date'?
Thanks a lot!

The batch auto selection selects the batches according to the ascending alphanumeric order. To issue based on FIFO method, user has to identify the admission date/ manufacturing date of the batch and issue.
There is No configuration at SBO to handle batches by 'Admission Date'.
As a workaround you can use the batches to startwith 'Admission Date'.

Selecting an entire row with the help of Checkbox

Hi and Evening to Everybody,
I have a Scenario where i need to select an entire row using the check box. Let me first define the Situation. I created a Simple Sql-report where the first column is a Simple Checkbox and the second column is a display only name and followed by the rest 5 columns as a checkbox.
my table structure is :
**create table satt (SELECT_ALL VARCHAR2(10), Name VARCHAR2(50), Object1 VARCHAR2(10), Object2 VARCHAR2(10), Object3 VARCHAR2(10), Object4 VARCHAR2(10), Object5 VARCHAR2(10));**
Now i had a requirement where i need to Check All or Uncheck All Checkbox by clicking SELECT_ALL column header and i made it using
simple java-script :
"<input type="Checkbox" onclick="$f_CheckFirstColumn(this)">"
Now i need to Check all checkbox in a row by clicking any of the SELECT_ALL check boxes. (Say i have 5 checkboxes in SELECT_ALL column and if i click 3rd checkbox... i need the entire 3rd row checkbox to be checked on click of that 3rd check box).
I hope i was clear with my question. i did my best. Please help me out with this... Im eagerly lookin for the solutions.
Thanks & Regards,
- The Beginner.
