Editing a Sequence of Link - v9 is painful, v7 is better

We regularly take a page of text and create/edit multiple links to open different PDF files (document index list going to the chapter PDFs).
With v7 of Acrobat, you edit the first, click on the second link (while the properties box was still visible) and continued your editing, then third, fourth etc.
v9 seems to insist you have to close the Properties window, before you can then select and edit the second link, etc.
This adds several steps to the process, very annoying and on the face of it I can not see why this was changed from a functional multi-editing environment, to a painful annoying process.
Has anyone else noticed this, I have not found any way to get v9 to be as fluent as v7 is.

Copy and Past Nested Sequence loses link to Master

Has anyone else noticed this problem? I've got a nested sequence that I'm cutting and editing around and most of the time everything is fine. If I doubleclick the nested sequence in my main sequence, it opens the nested one and if I then double click the nested sequence in my Browser, it goes to that same sequence. Changed in one will show up in the other.
BUT, if I copy and paste the nested sequence in my main sequence, the new pasted version will open a NEW sequence that isnt linked to the Master in my Browser. So now, changes in the new nested sequence or the Master dont show up in the other one.
Is this just me thats having this problem?

I can see where you are coming from, and where the engineers at Apple were coming from, but I strongly disagree with this behavior. In my opinion, if you want to have a separate copy of a sequence, you should make a copy in your bin and bring that in. That way your new sequence HAS a master sequence and you can CHANGE the name, both of which help to avoid confusion.
So, maybe you're right and most people prefer it the way that it is, but let me explain the workflow I'm using and you'll see why this is so absolutely frustrating to me.
I'm editing a documentary in Chinese and as I dont speak Chinese, I've had it all translated, and added subtitles to the interview footage so I can edit it. And to make absolutely sure that the subtitles and footage stay in sync (since I wouldnt know it if they werent) I've put all the footage into separate sequences and I'm editing those sequences as if they are raw footage.
And due to this, I'm throwing sequences around every which way while I try to create my story. And sometimes that means copying a series of edits into a new timeline to work on separately from the larger project. And as I see it, there is NO WAY to do that currently and keep the sequences linked to the masters, other than pulling up each master sequence into the Viewer, changing the in and out points to match the clip I want and Inserting it into a new timeline. And when you want to copy over a segment that has perhaps 20 edited bits, thats WAY too much trouble.
So I'll admit that I'm editing in a somewhat abnormal way due to my subtitles, but as there is no way to copy and paste sequences and keep the link to the Master, I think the behavior is broken.
Oh, and the "Tools->Create Master Clips" command, which is supposed to relink clips to their masters if there are any in the Browser, doesnt work for Nested Sequences.

How do I edit two sequences into the same frame?

I am trying to edit two sequences together to look kind of like those views of security cameras where you can see more than one feed at a time?

Piero's QuarterPIP filter (free) is also a way to do this.
Whether you do it manually by resizing & moving the clips or using QuarterPIP, you have to apply the process to each clip in the stack.

How do I replace the proxy files in my edited multicam sequence?

I have edited the sequence with a proxy MULTICAM clip. Now I want to replace the proxies with the hi-rez media. I can replace footage in the individual A-B cam clips but how do I replace the footage in the multicam clip so it automatically updates in the edited sequence?
Thank you,
Patrice

you can cmd/ctrl double click the multicam sequence to open it, then do your offline/relink. can also open the multicam sequence from the bin, right click and choose open in timeline. if the file names and extensions are the same you could also try the old folder swap method.

Error editing task sequence: Failed to load dynamic properties for class "SMS_TaskSequence_ApplyWindowsSettingsAction" From XML into WMI

I've started getting an intermittent error editing my Windows 7 OSD task sequence. Sometimes I can open the TS to edit, but when I try to apply changes I get the error. Other times I get the error when trying to open the TS. If I try again
right away, I still get the error, but if I wait a few minutes and try again sometimes it will open the TS.
The error reads:

Coinciding with this error, I show the following entries in the TaskSequenceProvider.log file:

I exported the task sequence and checked in "object.xml" for the "ApplyWindowsSettingsAction", to see if there was something odd in the xml, but I don't find anything that jumps out as being wrong. Here's the section of XML for
that step. I've removed identifying info, and replaced it with a generic term in bold.

Is there any other log I should check for a clue on this issue? What could be causing this error?

Thanks for sharing that! I tend to save contacting MS support until after I've exhausted other options. I'm always afraid that I'll spend the $500 to open a case and then it turns out to be something simple that I would have found if I had just
kept working on it myself a little longer.
It looks like that link is for an update released in February as KB3023562. I downloaded and installed it. I'll try opening/editing/saving the task sequence a few times today to see if the issue is resolved.
After I had already installed it, I thought to look up that update in configmgr. The update is listed as superseded by 2 other updates. The newest of those is KB3046049, which just installed last night with the other March patches, so it's possible
that I didn't need to install KB3023562 after all.

How to edit Account with Web Link?

We created web link on new record type to edit existing account by passing account name in the following url,
http://secure-ausomxcsa.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/AccountEdit?OMTGT=AccountEditForm&OMTHD=AccountEditNav&OCTYPE=&AccountEditForm.Name=%%%Account_Name%%%
The result is the url open new account form with fill in account name instead of open existing account. Question is how to open exist account to edit. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your quick response but it still doesn't work. Below is the url I've used; Could you please suggest if there's anything wrong ?
http://secure-ausomxcsa.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/AccountEdit?OMTGT=AccountEditForm&OMTHD=AccountEditNav&OCTYPE=&AccountEditForm.Account Id=%%%Account_Id%%%
Please note that %%%Account_Id%%% is the Account Id in our new custom record type.

How to open sharepoint files in edit mode using associated link?

Hi All,
We are trying to use the URL links available through SSM to open documents we hold on SharePoint. These will be the action plans for the risks we are entering as KPIs. The aim is to established a one-to-one link between the risk KPI and the risk action plan as this is a fundamental reason behind using SSM for Risk.
However, when we enter the SharePoint URL into the SSM admin screen, clicking the link from SSM UI opens up the file as an internet explorer page which can not be edited and saved back to SharePoint. We did find a way to get through My Network Places to over write the file, but this only works if you have previously opened and edited and saved the file from SharePoint and requires lots of navigation by the user and is therefore not an appropriate solution.
Is there any way we this can be achieve? Appreciate your replies. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
David

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. What I meant was when we put the UNC into SSM as a link in the URL box, SSM does not use the address it is given, instead it adds a http:// back in front and once again fails when opening the file in sharepoint.
For example:
SharePoint folder view used in test:
http://wccportal/resources/performance/risk/Risk%20Action%20Plans/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2fresources%2fperformance%2frisk%2fRisk%20Action%20Plans%2fDOR&FolderCTID=&View=%7b84123F22%2d74F2%2d41B9%2d918C%2dFF23DAE35EB3%7d
Excel UNC link to folder
wccportal\resources\performance\risk\riskactionplans\DOR
SSM UNC Link - SSM changes the address to include http:// and also removes other \ breaks and adds in numbers and symbols.
Is there a way to stop SSM converting the local address back into a web address?
Thanks,
David

Onlilne HDCAM edit - what sequence/capture settings?

Good Afternoon,
We have completed the offline edit of a 3 minute video that was shot on HDCAM,then edited using low-res Photo JPEG.
Using Media Manager we are planning to create a duplicate sequence to use to capture and connect the clips to the HDCAM footage.
What sequence settings do we use and what capture preset do we use? The manual isn't very clear on this.
Thanks!

That's the card...not the drives. What DRIVES do you have? What DRIVE ARRAY? The card will be fast enough...if the raid array attached to it is fast enough.
How fast is it? I don't know...you need to test that out. Use the AJA Kona System Test application found here:

Bug in editing email addresses - Mailto: link doesn't update

Numbers has a bug in the way email addresses work when they are edited. When entering an email address, it automatically is recognized as an email address and is made blue with a mailto: link when you hover over it. But when you edit the address, the text is changed but the _old link_ stays.
Try this:
1) Enter [email protected] in a cell and hit enter. The address shows up blue and hovering shows the mailto:[email protected].
2) Triple click to the right of the text (so you don't activate the link). This selects the whole text. Type a new address [email protected] and hit enter. The new text shows up blue.
3) Hover over the cell to see a surprise. It's the old link!
You can also do it like this:
1) same as 1) above.
2) double click on the cell to make the cursor appear in the cell. Using the arrow keys, edit the email to [email protected] and hit enter.
3) Hover. The link is not updated!
Or like this:
1) same
2) using the arrow keys, come to the cell. Click once to make the cursor appear. Edit. Hit enter.
3) same problem!
Here's the only way that seems to work:
2) using arrow keys, come to the cell, do NOT CLICK. Start typing - this will replace the entire contents of the cell.
3) hover now shows the correct link.
So editing an email address in Numbers does not update the link. You have to completely replace the email address.
I discovered this while trying to figure out why people whose addresses had been updated were not receiving email, and happened to hover, and saw the old address in the mailto: link.
I am now going through all my email lists, hovering to see if the link is what it's supposed to be, and correcting the ones that are wrong. If you have updated email addresses in Numbers, you will no doubt need to do this as well.
I sent Apple feedback, and also called them. They are able to reproduce the bug and escalated it. Does anyone else have this issue with email addresses in Numbers?
If so, please send feedback to Apple at
http://www.apple.com/feedback/numbers.html
and let them know.

Terrell,
I understand your feelings. Until we're familiar with a process, and especially if the process isn't well enough documented, it may seem to be poorly thought out (designed) or even improperly executed. It's been my experience through about four and a half years of Applecare support that after you've been watching this forum for six months or so you know more about iWork than 90% of the first responders at Apple Support. The bottom line is that if you're passionate in making your case about something that you are having trouble with, it's pretty easy to convince them that something is broken when it may be just fine. The worst several months of my computer life experience came after that support crew led me through an ill-advised and improperly executed OS reinstall, for no good reason. But I digress.
So how do you want the Hyperlink insertion/editing process to work? The current process is as follows:
To insert a Hyperlink, you type in a URL or email address and Numbers makes a guess as to what type of link it is. That couldn't be much easier. You can override the link-type designation in the Inspector.
Then you decide to give the link an alias. You open the Hyperlink Inspector and deactivate the links using the "Make all links inactive" checkbox so that when you click on the link text in the cell it won't go into operation. You enter the new name for the link in the table cell, reactivate the link by un-checking the "Make links inactive" box, and you're done. At this point the link address is displayed and efficiently editable in the Inspector text box and the alias is displayed in the table cell. Pretty unambiguous and convenient. There may be other ways to get to this result, as often is the case.
But you say: "I don't care about making an alias, I just want to edit the actual address." Well, you have to use the Inspector, or you have to start over. That's the price for having the option to add an alias. It's a design decision, and a feature, but not a bug. Could it be enhanced for convenience? Of course it could. Perhaps an "Edit Link" option on the contextual menu that would take you directly to the Inspector would be nice. But let's not make this program any larger and complex than it has to be. And, let's be sure that the things we escalate to the design team are really the things we want them to be spending their limited time on.
Regards,
Jerry

Edit original with hard link

Hi
I re install adobe with a new graphic card after problem related to extended but not in the default path .
In dreamweaver CS6 when insert a smartobject psd file and useright clcik contextual menu for select "edit original with " ( to have acces to original psd not the image use in html page ) .
Dreamweaver show me "unable to launch ... Photoshop.exe " .
I can choose browse to the the real photohsop.exe location but my choice is not save !!
1) why adobe developper use static hard link when implemented this functionnalities ?
2) is there a way to set a custom path to photoshop in the DW setting ?
3) DW is higly customizable , does this issue is documented in adobe documentation ?
4) smart object is limited if we have acces only to the whole psd view not part of it like directory or specific layer !!
5) i hope this value is not store in binary file ( dll ) but rather in text format ( file or in registry ) and thus it can be edit easely !
regard's

hi i fint it easely and i change many location value in regedit after find the default value under ( fr_FR language)
Ordinateur\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dreamweaver CS6\Helper applications Preferences\Editor GroupX
is there easy enhanced way to use smart object in CS6 ?

When I click "Edit Original" in the links panel it opens MICROSOFT PAINT!

When I click "Edit Original" with a jpeg selected in the links panel it opens Microsoft Paint! In Windows (7) the file association is Windows Picture Viewer (NOT Paint!) and in Bridge it is associated with Photoshop CC. In InDesign we have the option of choosing which program to edit linked files with. In Illustrator we are stuck with the astounding Paint! Why?? 17 versions and this still bugs me!

Thanks Mylenium.
I know how to change the default program associated with an extension (I would like to keep picture viewer as the default open option for JPG) but I don't know how I change the EDIT association (currently Paint for JPG) in Win 7.
And it would be much more useful if AI could just give us the option of setting defaults (as Bridge does) OR AI could just use Bridge's defaults OR give us an "Open with" option as in Indesign. So many possible solutions, I've feature-requested this on occasions since CS1, it works in other Adobe apps, so I can only think Adobe is wilfully ignoring this issue for Irritator.

[JS][CS5] How can use 'edit with' option for link using sripting

Hi All,
I Can edit link using Link.editOriginal () if the default application is as i need it will open it from there, when I try to open it with other application instead of default application of link file I can't (usually we "use edit" with option in manually). Is there any option to do it in scripting.
Any clue will help us to update the large set of links in a single click.
Thanks in advance,
Sankar L

Hi csm_phil,
You are exactly catch my point, my requirement is to update math type eps file. If my math type equation default application file is illustrator (say) as below
it will open in illustrator instead of mathtype if i use editOriginal function...
Jus i need to open it in mathtype, the link file default application file is whatever it is.
Thanks,

How to edit the binding wsdl link in SR

Hello,
I have created a WS which uses my server name : and port, further service name and ?wsdl.
well actually my server full name is ???.??.de and I am using my server from laptop. If I use SR from other computer and try to see the wsdl file there by clicking wsdl link. It does not find the server and searches with out ends. I then removed the .domain.de from teh wsdl link. It has find the service. Now I need to permanently removed the domain.de from wsdl.
To do so, I have also tried to rename the server without using domain.de and publish the service again. But the server full name is still with domain and .de
Does any one of you have the idea how to edit the wsdl link??

Naeem

Hallo Naeem,
I want to know where did you develop your WS?

How to edit source sequence from 'multicam mode' sequence (not bearing multicam icon)?

I'm 'multicam editing' what i believe I setup as a regular sequence, then enabled (i believe by nesting) as opposed to a textbook multicam sequence setup with multicam icon where you setup a 'source' then a 'target' prior to starting. my 'multicam' sequence that works like a charm does not bear the multicam icon. Is there a difference between the two or are they essentially the same?
I was able to switch cameras on the fly like a charm so i 'multicam' edited an entire show when I realized I had 1 minor audio-to-picture beat-mismatch to correct in the source.
I read that to fix this, press Ctrl+Shift+F where you want to open the source sequence in the Timeline panel (and this did open expanded tracks as expected near that designated point in the timeline) so i made the quick edit and saved changes. But now playing back my multicam sequence (that does not have a multicam icon), I'm not sure what i must do to see those changes so i can continue/finish my show edit? it isn't automatically doing this as i would expect.
i'm forced to wonder what's going on, what 'source' I actually edited, and how or if it is connected to my multicam sequence if at all. my icons seem reversed to me i.e. the sequence with expanded independent a/v tracks bears the 'multicam' icon whereas the sequence I actually did the multicam switching on the fly does not bear the 'multicam icon' or the audio-picture realignment edit I made in the expanded tracks.
if these two are related, why do edits in the expanded sequence not reflect in the collapsed. is there any other way to reveal/expand the multicam sequence? so confused.
