Driving me nuts: no path above "Desktop" when choosing file or folder with "Move To" command

Hi all. I can't believe this. I have a folder open in Bridge CC and I want to move files from that folder to a folder on another drive. The target folder does not appear in "Recent Folders", "Favorites" or "Libraries", so I select "Choose File or Folder". Upon doing this a crummy little window appears, the top level of which is "Desktop". Huh? How do I select another drive? So far the only workaround I have found is to first open the target folder in Bridge, then close it again and reselect the source folder, at which point it shows up in "Recent Folders". Please tell me it is I who am stupid and that this cannot be true.
TIA,
Toby

Super! 10 points to you! Many thanks

For some reason, my compression option is grayed out under "File" menu, and when I select a folder with multiple files, or multiple documents, and try to right-click or tap the mousepad with two fingers, I do not get a "compress" option available. Help.

I don't know why, but when I select a folder with multiple docs contained within it, or multiple files, the Compress option is grayed out under the File menu, nor is it available when I right-click. Please help.

Yes it is, but I have the same problem of the option does not appear with "right click" (I'm actually control-clicking), and COMPRESS is grayed out under the file menu. I'd like to fix it.
Hmm. After finding the Archive Utility,* I tried archiving the folder. It came out as .cpgz, ugh. Found there was a preference to make .zip the default. It worked!
And now…the menus are not grayed out. ?!?! OK.'
Hope this helps someone.
*You cannot find this via search, apparently it is a hidden file, you have to click from the root drive through to /System/Library/CoreServices (Thanks for the file path Alberto!)

Why are my files copying to the desktop when I am only trying to move them?

This is the wierdest thing. I have been a Mac user for 20 years and never saw this and can't seem to solve. My drive was bloated to capacity so I backed up, erased the drive and reinstalled Tiger and and my programs, transferred all my data and booted up.
My main files are in two folders on the root drive, each time I try to take a file or folder out and place it on the desktop, the mac copys it to the desktop instead of just moving it.
Like I said I have been using my mac the same way for years moving files between folders and the desktop constantly and I have never encountered this. The only way I have ever copyed files to the desktop is by holding the option key when dragging.
I only have one user installed. So I am cluless why it is doing this.
Soemone please help.

This looks like a case of incorrectly set file permissions. Holding down option in this case should move instead of copy, but it may prompt you for a password. For ideas on fixing up your permissions refer to these articles:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh669.html
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106712
Also note that copy is the default action when dragging between mounted volumes, partitions, disk images, etc.

Desktop oddities when trashing file or folder

Okay, this isn't a big deal, but it disturbs my normal way of using the computer.
When I press Command-Delete for a file or folder I've selected on the Desktop it moves it to the trash.
However THEN the Finder selects the "next" file or folder on the Desktop?
Why? This is stupid.
{I upgraded from SL to ML, so maybe I missed something}

Okay, I created a dummy account called dummy and switched to that. As clean of an account as it could be, since the fun of signing up for an iCloud account/Apple ID appeared. Still did it. Signed back into my regular account, still doing it. I do have a number of files/folders on my Desktop, but not like some crazy people, and I have an alias for the harddrive there too.What I've noticed is that the sequence almost makes sense... so, I select a file, press Command-Delete, that file moves to the trash, and another file that was the most recent one created on the desktop is the next selected. Weird, huh? I think it's just a matter of playing with the "Sort By" and "Clean Up By" options unde View, but it's still bugging me since I have to deselect a file/folder after trashing a previous one.
Meh, still no big deal.

Bridge CS4 freezes when I open a folder with avi files

Whenever I navigate to a folder with avi files, Bridge CS4 freezes. I have tried resetting my preferences, changing the file associations, but it still hangs. Both Windows and Bridge are set up to associate avi files with VLC Media Player. The files open and play just fine in VLC. I am running CS4 on a Win XP Pro machine. It used to not be a problem and I could play avi files in Bridge. I'm not sure when the problem started since I don't shoot a lot of video. Any ideas?

Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

Catalog corruption when moving files in folder view

LR 1.3.1 MacOS 10.5 (although also happened with 10.4)
I've been using LR since the free beta and have over 6,000 images in my catalog. I shoot Nikon cameras almost always in RAW + JPEG. I used to add the jpegs as separate images, but now use them as my previews.
I recently became low on space on my system hard drive and attached an external FW 800 500GB disk that I decided to store my photos on. Using LR, using the folder view, I moved my images from the hard drive onto the external FW disk. Now, all the NEF's that I imported as NEF+JPEG are "corrupted". Specifically, when I look at them in Grid view, the thumbnails look "OK", however underneath the file name (eg: _DSCXXXX) it now says "JPG+JPEG" instead of "NEF+JPEG". When I go into Edit mode to look at the preview though, the initial image looks "normal" however I get a message saying "Rendering: Settings changed ..." and then the image looks ..... weird, perhaps cross processed or something, and then going back to Grid mode the thumbnail is now changed. If I say to show the file in Finder, it shows me the JPG file, not the NEF file. It's like the NEF file has disappeared. All the NEF's that I loaded without the accompanying JPEG are fine.
I had the same problem over 1 year ago and we filed a bug against LR but never heard anything back. I'm hoping that someone else has encountered this problem and can suggest how to fix the corrupted database. Otherwise, I will have to revert to a backup catalog and try "re-finding" the files on the new FW drive.
Thanks,
Janice

I'm simply using the JPEG's as previews so there is no separate "file" in LR for them so I can't delete them from LR. I suppose I could delete all the files out of the catalog and reimport them .... that sounds fun ... since they are keyworded and some are modified it makes more sense to revert to a backup and hope I can refind them. Perhaps deleting the ... Previews.lrdata file (not folder) might do it as you suggest but I'm a bit reticent just yet.
I don't want to take this thread off topic, but will have to look around a bit to find out why someone would not want to have both as "originals" as you indicate.
Thanks for taking the time to suggest,
Janice

Issue when choosing 'File Print' in Pro v7.0 (XP SP3)

Hi,
I have an issue with a machine that either won't produce the printer dialog box at all or does very slowly (2 to 3 minute pause) The program opens PDF's fine and all other functions appear to be fine. The problem occurs when hitting File > Print.
I don't know if it is a co-incidence but the machine in question has recently had Windows XP service pack 3 installed on it and these problems appeared to begin after this time.
This happens for any log in on the machine, and so far I have tried updating an repairing the product and fully re-installing to no avail.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks

I haven't had any problems with SP3 and AA7. Check to be sure that the printer is still available (Adobe PDF printer). That is required for all PDF conversions (PDF Maker included).

Can CS6 exploit the GPU on my desktop when accessed from my laptop with RDP?

Just to clarify further: both machines running windows 7 professional or better (so the full version of RDP is available), and CS6 runiing on the desktop, accessed from my laptop.
As the GPU is being used as a compute resource, will CS use the desktop GPU for acceleration?
sad day if not - I am considering ditching expensive laptops and use a medium spec laptop together with a good gutsy desktop (which is about 1/3rd the price / performance) as I have a good network to run over at home.

The water is somewhat muddied. I have only a Windows 7 and Windows 8 system to try it with at the moment.
This is what I got when I RDP'd into a Windows 8 VM from Windows 7:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03/15:21:00:00) x64

Additional Plug-ins folder: \\Noelc4\c\DEV\ProDigital\trunk\plugins\Output\Win\LastBuild\x64\
I have Photoshop working okay on the above system using the OpenGL VMware provides when I log directly into the console...
I don't think the above failure says anything definitive one way or another what's up with your particular request yet, though it does tell me I need to do some additional testing to try to understand what's happening so that I know how my own products are going to behave in this situation.
I have a Windows 7 VM I can test with. Watch this space...

Updating of paths in templates when saving file

HI,
I am using CS3 and I have a person using ver 8.
In a template I have some paths for include files. These are
not in editable regions. My templates are in a template folder.
When I go to create a new page from a template and save it in
another folder the paths are modified appropriately to reflect
where the file is now located.
However when the person using ver 8 creates a new file from
the template and saves the file in a different folder, Dreamweaver
is not updating the path at all. It still reference everything as
in the template folder. Since the path statements are not in the
editable region these cannot be fixed. I have checked to make sure
that the ver 8 person's site set up is correct so that files are
referenced from the root and not a file.
Is this a problem because they are using ver 8?

> Is this a problem because they are using ver 8?
Shouldn't be. But you can work around this by always using a
root relative
link to the include files.

Automatic name changes and file and path name limitation when storing files

Dear all I am using Airport Extrem with an attached disc and experience following:
1) Names get changed. Second part of file name gets replaced with some hex numbering
2) Get the error message from time to time that file can't be stored on the Airport Extrem attached disc and that the file name is too long.
Any idea.

I've got the same problem with seagate 750 GB drive - Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - over fast ethernet (first gen) AEBS(n)
P.S.- sometimes the folder names get corrected automaticaly, and sometimes folders get duplicated (with different corrupted hex-like name endings) and if I delete one of them, they all vanishes.

Error when I execute an application with the java command in a DOS prompt

Hi:
I have a trouble. I edit the most simple program in Java: hello.java
In DOS prompt, I compile the program. The result is the file hello.class
c:\> javac hello.java
However, I try to execute this program with the command java
c:\> java hello
and the DOS prompt send me an error like this: Java.exe has a problem and must be closed.
I press the option "Don't send". After this, the DOS prompt returns empty and it doesnt execute the application:
c:\>
By the way, in an IDE editor like Gel, the file hello.java is compiled and executed correctly without problems.
I edited other simple Java files, I compiled them succesfully and I can't run them in a DOS pormpt. The result is the same dialog box: "Java.exe has a problem and must be closed".
The question is: Why don't these programs run in a DOS prompt?
My Operating System is Microsoft Windows XP and the Java compiler version is: 1.6.0_13
Thanks in advanced.

HT5958 updated10.1.1 and just opened FC, potponed project & events updating (not realizing what that ment) and now can't seem to get back to that. The above thread say "choosing File Update Projects and Events" but I do not see that option in my menu ???

I updated Final Cut and I postponed updating Projects and Events (not understanding that this mean I would have nothing in FC when it opened!). Now I can''t find how to go back so i can update those. The help thread says to use "file > Update Projects and Events" but that opinion is not in my menu ????? I also restarted my laptop but that didn't give me the option either....

The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Paste into a Terminal window by pressing command-V. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1                              localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
::1                                        localhost
Below that, you may see some other lines. The first 9 lines should be exactly as above, apart from differences in the blank space within lines. Otherwise you can't use this procedure—STOP and ask for guidance.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '10,$d' /etc/hosts
You may be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

Mail Shuts Down when trying to Open Email with movie

Just recently Mail is shutting down when I try to open an email with attached movie. When I mail again, the email is still there with the blue dot.
I found one document suggesting a Java..Cocoa plug in may be the culprit but no luck.
Any ideas?
Any assistance very much appreciated.

Am I the only one having troubles with Apple Mail?
As I said, when I go to open an email that has a movie (.wmv) attached it shuts mail down. Must be a record if I am the only one encountering this problem.
Any one? Any ideas?
