Encore button thumbnail image capture - then disable

Hi all
One of the good features of encore, that is most useful for inexperienced users
is the button thumbnail image/video extraction
however the facility to retain the image capture seems locked with the functional button presence on the dvd menu
have i overlooked a method of disabling of this within encore without loss of image capture, or is it a photoshop requirement
Any suggestions
Regards
Robert

Hi John
your solution seems like the most workable solution so far for video display in this button thumbnail, this does work quite effectively although the button is still present.
thanks for this, heres some further solutions/info we have
PHOTO ONLY DISPLAY after firstly setting the link of the button to the relevant imported image timeline to complete thumbnail capture choose - convert the button to an object
this effectively traps the image capture and resolves the issues of navigation and retains the auto button route.
VIDEO DISPLAY
The preview feature - render motion menus may be a good solution for the video thumbnail however it is exported in mpg and the quality may be reduced
the render motion menus facility will compile a video from the items visible at any time.
example
Hide from view all non required items in the motion background ie other buttons and text items
excluding the thumbnail button and background
then by setting the link of the button to the relevant chapter or video to complete video capture
choose - render motion menus
encore compiles a video background with the video thumb nail included and saves it in the respective project sources/menus folder named Video_Bpgc_Asf.mpg
by importing a copy of this into your project (must be a copy)
and using this as the motion background to the menu, all navigation issues and auto button routing are solved
after of course deleting or disabling the respective button from the menu and reactivating all hidden buttons and text etc.
or am i being lazy and trying to avoid a jump to another software to do this ?
Regards
Robert

Scan button in image capture is greyed out

I have an Epson Workforce 545 connected wirelessly to my network and had been using Image Capture for scanning. When I went to use Image Capture today the "scan" button is greyed out.. I have all the newest software updates.
Using MacBook Air I get an error message w Iage Capture although printing works fine.

I found another thread suggesting drawing a box around the scan field. That seems to work.

Image Capture takes ages, doesn't transfer thumbnail images

I've had IC configured to auto-download everything from my Cybershot 707 into a specific folder ("CameraImport") on my Desktop whenever I connect it via USB. It worked fine, assigning the image thumbnail to each photo AND .mov video file it d/l. Until yesterday. It started taking a really long time to access the Memory Stick in my DSC707, and then it downloaded (or should I say uploaded?) the files giving them generic Preview and QuickTime icons.
I trashed all prefs in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ and the com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist from my ~/Library/Preferences dirs, but no dice.
DU reports permissions are fine. The Memory Stick in the camera is freshly formatted.
Any ideas anyone? Thanks, people.

having a similar problem. I also have Kodak Easyshare z812, usually transfer straight to iPhoto. pictures work fine, but would not recognize the .MOV files. suspected at first I needed to update Kodak, and tried their newest software, but that wouldn't work either. then plugged camera into iMac, which is still Leopard, not Snow Leopard. transferred the movies into iPhoto just fine. When I read you were using Image Capture, I opened it up to check, but then noticed that Services does not seem to work at all anymore. Opened preferences, and the ones I want checked were checked. quit Image Capture, then looked at Services, and the Image Capture is now available- but no other services. (I use NeatReceipts, Soho Organizer/Notes, and a few other things). I am not happy that my camera won't work as it should, and I am just glad I still have a computer with Leopard on it.

Image Capture won't scan: Canon MP 610

Hello,
I experience a strange bug in Image Capture which I use together with my Canon MP610. When I put a document on the scanner Image Capture will show a preview and then scan the document. This works fine.
Sometimes I need to make some manual corrections by using the button "show details" and then resize the scan area after the program has analyzed the picture. After I made the corrections I hit the "Scan" button but Image Capture will return with the message "Scanner has reported an error" and "An error occurred during scanning".
I first thought it might be a driver related problem as I recently updated the drivers from the Canon site. Before I installed the Canon drivers and used the OSX drivers all worked fine.
So I removed all drivers from Canon and hoped the Mac would use the old drivers again. That didn't work either as the system couldn't seem to find any usable driver anymore. I reinstalled the Canon drivers and all works well again except for the Image Capture program.
As long as I don't use the "Show Details" button the scanner works just fine. But as soon as I make some manual corrections the scanner error message pops up and the scanner won't scan the adjusted preview.
So I know for sure the Mac sees the scanner and can control it as the scanner does deliver the images to the folder I specify, but I can't do any manual corrections.
I already deleted the file "com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist" but that didn't solve the problem. It appears to be a bug in the program itself or a conflict between the app and the drivers from Canon. How can I revert back to the drivers that my Mac used before I installed the Canon drivers?
Thanks!

Thanks PAHU that were a lot of drivers for sure in your link and I installed those. Unfortunately, nor the driver package nor the ICA driver did solve my problem. I'm beginning to think it might just be a bug within Image Capture, although Image Capture is stating the scanner is reporting an error. Strange thing is that Image Capture will work fine as long as I hide the details pane.
It seems to be an isolated problem too as I can't find any other subject on this on the net. I see more people having trouble to scan images with Image Capture but that's mostly related to not selecting the right part of the preview. I will see if I can reinstall Image Capture from the OSX dvd.

Yosemite Can't Auto Delete In Image Capture

I have always used Image Capture instead of something like iPhoto or Aperture to transfer my iOS device pictures to my Mac. Since Yosemite, something has changed. There used to be a "Delete after importing" button in Image Capture, but now there is no such button:
Everything is the same otherwise. The button is also listed in Help, but it doesn't exist in the app:
Is anyone else having this issue? I am using an iPad Air and a Mac Pro.

I noticed this immediately after "upgrading" to Yosemite and it's very annoying. I have a 16GB iPhone and capture many photos/videos of my kids then download them to my MacBook every week or two. The removal of the delete button in Image Capture makes copying photos/videos off the iPhone a clunky process where I have to download them and then go to the phone and manually delete everything I just copied (then go empty the new 30 day deleted items folder to actually free up that space). In theory the iCloud shared photos will be an alternate to this but that's in beta right now and is not an instantaneous way to download a video recently captured directly to the computer. I realize Apple just wants me to buy a larger storage capacity phone but it's really annoying to lose features that were quick and simple and replace them with clunky multi step processes.

Canon 8800F Scanner--How to turn off Image Capture???

Hi
I have a Canon 8800F flatbed scanner, I have the latest drivers and latest copy of MP Navigator EX.
1) The buttons on the front of the scanner don't work.
2) If Image Capture is open, then MP Navigator EX scanning doesn't work.
Is there a way to stop Image Capture from trying to use the scanner?
thanks

Dave1234567890 wrote:
1) I tried changing the Scanner Buttons in Image Capture to "MP Navigator EX 1.0 Opener"--that didn't do anything (upon pressing a button, I could tell something launched on my computer, but it didn't open/redirect-to MP Navigator).
You don't select MP Opener in the menu. You just need this software installed to assist with getting the buttons to function correctly. MP Navigator needs to be selected in the Scan Button menu.
2) I can get the buttons on the scanner to work if I do the following
a) set Scanner Buttons to "MP Navigator EX" (not the Opener)
b) make sure Image Capture is turned off
c) MP Navigator must be shut down before each button press
d) Click on "Close Main Menu after Scanning with Scanner Buttons on the Scanner" inside MP
Okay, a is true. This is what I said to select in my previous reply.
Regarding b, I find that when using the buttons on my LiDE 200, I don't have an issue if Image Capture is open, but then this application should not be open unless it is opened by you or a setting in the scanner settings.
Regarding c, I don't have to close MP Navigator for each scan. I can leave the application open and keep adding more documents using the Scan button on the scanner.
As for d, is this a Preference setting you are seeing in MP Navigator? I don't seem to have this setting...
3) There is no way to change the setting in Image Capture to ignore the scanner.
Considering that Image Capture is the default scanning application for 10.6, then it is not an easy task to ignore the scanner. But, if the application is not open, then it will ignore the scanner when you open MP Navigator or use the Scan button, providing you have the Scan Button set to open MP Navigator rather than Image Capture.
Because of (2) above, you can't do multiple sheet PDFs via the buttons, you have to use the on-screen software to add pages and finish the doc.
Like I said already, the button is working fine for me to add more than one page into MP Navigator. Maybe the setting you mention at d) is causing your symptom?

Image capture keeps freezing

I just scanned several images using image capture a week ago no issues and now image capture keeps freezing in scan mode. updated drivers. wireless is detecting (using a canon MP640) in "scan gear" screen preview works fine but when scan is choosen everything freezes and image capture (not responding)
anyone?

I just had the same problem. Printer is connected by USB and the print function works perfectly. Mashing the scan button launches image capture but the pinwheel starts spinning and nothing happens. Same printer. Did you ever solve the problem?

Trouble deleting images in Images Capture if some of them are locked

Hello everybody!
I have a question: whenever I try to delete many images in Image Capture, I often have trouble when one or several of them are locked. The delete button gets deactivated. I know it is a fool-proof feature, but it gets really annoying when I need to delete a sevral dozens of hundreds of images: I have to look through all of them in search of the tiny grey lock icon (that is hard to detect btw) and deselect the one by one. Arh!
Is there a key combo that will override locked items and delete all of the selected items (like hoding Alt while Empty trash) or delete just the unocked items and skip the locked ones without the need to manually deselect them?
Note to Apple – it will be really conveniet, if delete button in image capture will not get deactivated when locked items are selected, but just skip them during delete. At the moment is it Windows-style not obvious.
Regards,
Nick

I've seen this in the past, it was a permissions issue of some kind. Assuming you're on a Mac, you might try running something like Disk Utility and fix permissions. Might fix it.

Thumbnail image server behaviour

Hello,
Best new years wishes to all!
Can anyone explain just how the thumbnail behavior works? Is it just a latent resizing process initialized on first load of a page?
Is it a process of checking for an existent thumbnail image and then resizing only if the thumbnail is not present?
Why not resize the image on upload to full size and also thumbnail size?
I use the behavior and it works well, just not sure how it works and would like to know.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
the Show Thumbnail behaviour does indeed create the thumbnails on page load and not earlier, so it seems that...
Is it a process of checking for an existent thumbnail image and then resizing only if the thumbnail is not present?
...this is true.
Why not resize the image on upload to full size and also thumbnail size?
IMO this would be adding some more "what if the server doesn´t execute additional processes ?" insecurities, because - well - some users might already encounter the main image not being uploaded correctly for whatever reason, and any additional process like creating the subdirectory "thumbnails" plus creating a thumbnail in there will of course fail when step a) already went wrong.
As one never really knows why on earth e.g. resizing a very large image may go wrong (due to some "memory" related limits obviously), it wouldn´t be wise to make an application even stack some extra tasks on top of that -- rolling out the thumbnail creation process to a different page seems smarter, because just in case thumbnail X isn´t created the first time, it will be created the next time someone launches the page in question.

Static thumbnail images not functioning (Encore 1.5.1)

I've been using Encore 1.5.1 (Build 42735) for many years now on this PC (AMD X2, Shuttle XPC P2500G), and have had no problems. However, in the last couple of weeks, the following symptom has developed...
My typical workflow is to encode M2V files using Premiere Pro 1.5.1, then import them as timelines into Encore 1.5.1. Once the timeline is created, I then set the chapter points, create menus, select video buttons, etc. Ultimately, I set thumbnail images for each video button using the "SET POSTER FRAME") option (based on frames from the M2V timeline), preview the project, then create a DVD image.
The Problem - When I try to "set poster frames" using timelines associated with M2V files, the image that appears in the menu editor's video button is severely distorted. (In some cases, the image is also upside down!) The image is corrupt when previewing the project and when the DVD is burned.
This only seems to happen when I use M2V files AND I make the buttom image static. In other words, if I check "Animate Buttons", the thumbnail image in the menu editor is corrupt, but previews and burns correctly. Also, if I use AVI files instead, everything works perfectly.
By the way, preview/playback of the actual M2V timeline works fine. It's almost as if Encore's menu editor is now having trouble interpreting the data from the M2V file.
As I stated before, I've been using M2V files in Encore since 2004 with no issues, and in the last few weeks this problem has begun. Has anyone out there encountered this problem? If so, what is causing it and is there a solution?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

I've done some additional testing... But first a little background.
I have 2 PCs with almost identical software installed on them, including Premiere Pro 1.5.1 and Encore DVD 1.5.1. Although the hardware is different, I've configured these machines to be able to share any project I've EVER created. Any software installed on the first PC (built in 2003 - XP Home SP2) has been duplicated on the second PC (built in 2005 - XP Pro SP2). In fact, whenever I upgrade software on one machine, I always upgrade both to keep them in synch. Since 2005 I've been able to move projects back and forth between these two PCs with no problem whatsoever.
Now the test...
I created a different five minute m2v file on each PC using the media encoder (v1.1) within Premiere Pro 1.5.1. (Remember, that's my normal workflow.)
I took the m2v file from the older (and still functioning correctly) PC, then used that file to create Encore projects on both PCs. I took the m2v file created on the newer (and currently not functioning correctly) PC and created Encore projects on both PCS.
That's a total of 4 Encore projects. For each project, I created a simple "blank 4X3 menu", and added a single video button. I linked the button to the 1 and only chapter on the timeline, then set the poster frame for the button.
The results are as follows:
1) It doesn't matter which computer creates the m2v - Any m2v can be copied to the old, functioning PC, and the Encore menu editor and the preview function displays perfectly.
2) When using the Encore menu editor and preview features from the newer, problematic PC, single images (from m2v files created from either PC) set as poster frames are not interpreted properly. The image is displayed upside-down with a "mosaic" look to it.
3) If I set the thumnail image of the button, check "Animate Buttons", then render the motion menus, the menu editor still displays the corrupted image, but the preview looks perfect.
4) If I use AVI files instead, all these problems disappear.
Someone suggested this might be a codec problem, but if so, wouldn't the files not encode correctly as well? Remember, I can create the m2v on the "bad" computer, copy it to the "good" computer, and everything works fine.
It is true that (a month or so ago) I upgraded software on both machines - QuickTime 7.5.5 (which probably has some codecs) and Sonicfire Pro 5, which needs QT to run. Both sets of installs/upgrades went smoothly and the software on both PCs is working with no anomolies. Since the exact same versions are on both computers (with the old machine working perfectly), I'm having trouble buying the bad/rogue codec theory.
I could ignore this problem and just use AVI files. However, since AVI files are so much larger and take so long to back up to 4mm tape, I really don't see that as a long term solution.
Based on this information, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks so much.

'Import All' is disable at Image Capture

Hi!!
I just upgrade to Yosemite, and when I insert an SD (only photos) to my MacBook Pro, the Image Capture program shows up. But when I want to import all media, the button 'Import All' is disable.
Does any one knows why is happening this?
This is the same SD that I was using with my Canon, and did not had this problem with Mavericks.
Thanks a lot in advanced.

Thanks Glenn Leblanc!
I think there is a problem with the software.
I tried this:
1. Hide the 'Devices' list.
2. Show the 'Devices' list.
3. Then selected the SD, and magically the 'Import All' button became available.
Even if you select 1 file from the list, the button is available.
Greetings!!

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.

XML scrolling thumbnail, image loader, & Buttons [halfway works]

Intro:
I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.
For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.
I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline:
Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.
Issue #1
As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...
1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.
[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.
Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.
[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"]
[also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
Issue #2
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.
However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]
With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:
Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.
Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.
I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science. [yes, for many its not...but my brain just does not operate that route despite all the tutorials thrown at me.]
Again, it would seem that there would be a button panel where you could drag options like scrolling thumbnail slider, loader, and then parameters would come up. [much like Apples iWeb. - but before the argument of one being pro and the other for non-pros, I see it differently. Software should not be the limiting factor in how flexible you can design, or rather ones lack of programming shouldnt be. With all the talented, and I say this in all humility and honesty, programmers working for Adobe, Im sure something could be programmed like what Im asking for.]
note: Director is a good example, back in 1997 I knew nothing of multimedia and in one week I had assembled a portfolio, clicking buttons, speech, movies, and all. - and no, I dont have the money to buy more software!
At this moment I am at the mercy of someone who reads code like its a nighttime tale they are telling their kids, and who can see the exact issue I have and can share the appropriate, correct code. [as I have noticed, it has to be on target - naturally - but this target changes with just a slight change in the design.]
Thank you,
peace
Dalen
p.s.
The actionscript: [note: This is only the current working/good code that Im trying to get the buttons to call up.]

The issues with the buttons calling up the scrolling thumbnail panel have been resolved, as well as keeping the buttons in their hit state once clicked, thanks to Rob.
Those that have been following this thread, or stumble upon it in their searches later, may appreciate to see the final solution to this particular issue.
[Hopefully I will be able to update this thread with a url in the future to show the site in operation, which may help somebody with their project in the future if its set up similarly.]
Alas, it would be nice if future versions of flash had a more direct, flexible, user friendly method for creating navigation.
[We may see development beyond the flash ads which everyone seems to loathe... and more creativity with flash in terms of games, web interactivity, & animation.
Below are 2 sets of code:
a] the first is located within the first frame of the first button, and has some extra variables in it that the additional buttons call upon...
b] the second is the code applied to every other button.
stop();
fscommand("allowscale", false);//keep SWF display at 100%
var x:XML = new XML();//Define XML Object

     var photos:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;//Defines variable for length of XML file

          var t = panel.attachMovie("b", "b"+i, i);//Each loop, Define local variable 't' as a new instance of 'b' movie clip, given unique instance name of 'b' plus the index number of the For loop
          t.img.loadMovie(thumbURL[i]);// Each loop, load thumbnail image from XML data into variable movie clip
          t._y = 0;//Set Y coordinate of variable movie clip
          t._x = thumbX;//Set X coordinate of variable movie clip based on variable thumbX
          t.numb = i;//Set sub-variable 'numb' inside variable t to hold index number
          t._alpha = 75;//Set the Alpha value of the variable movie clip to 75% - for onRollOver highlight action
          thumbX += 55;//Increment thumbX value so next thumbnail is placed 125 pixels to the right of the one before
          t.onRollOver = function() {//define onRollOver event of the variable movie clip
               this._alpha = 100;//Set thumbnail alpha to 100% for highlight
          t.onRollOut = function() {//define onRollOut event of the variable movie clip
               this._alpha = 75;//Reset thumbnail alpha to 75%
          t.onPress = function() {//define onPress event of the variable movie clip
               this._rotation += 3;//rotates thumbnail 3 degrees to indicate it's been pressed
               this._x += 3;//Offset X coordinate by 3 pixels to keep clip centered during rotation
               this._y -= 3;//Offset Y coordinate by 3 pixels to keep clip centered during rotation
          t.onReleaseOutside = function() {//define onRelease event of the variable movie clip
               this._rotation -= 3;//rotate thumbnail back 3 degrees
               this._x -= 3;//Reset X coordinate by 3 pixels to keep clip centered during rotation
               this._y += 3;//Reset Y coordinate by 3 pixels to keep clip centered during rotation
               this._alpha = 75;//Reset thumbnail alpha to 75%
          t.onRelease = function() {//define onRelease function to load full sized image
               this._rotation -= 3;//rotate thumbnail back 3 degrees
               this._x -= 3;//Reset X coordinate by 3 pixels to keep clip centered during
               this._y += 3;//Reset Y coordinate by 3 pixels to keep clip centered during
               this._alpha = 75;//Reset thumbnail alpha to 75%
               holder.loadMovie(fullURL[this.numb]);//Load full sized image into holder clip based on sub-variable t.numb, referenced by 'this'
     holder.loadMovie(fullURL[0]);//Initially load first full size image into holder clip
// this one function scrolls the panel for all of the buttons, it gets the
// size of the panel when the images are loaded by any given button...
stroke.onEnterFrame = function() {
     if (this.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, false)) {
          if (panel._x>=740) {
               panel._x = 740;
          if (panel._x<=740-panel._width+mask._width) {
               panel._x = 740-panel._width+mask._width;
          if ((panel._x<=740) && (panel._x>=740-panel._width+mask._width)) {
               var xdist = _xmouse-830;
               panel._x += -xdist/7;
Of note is the change to how the movie clips are measured... this change in and of itself has really helped to make the thumbnail panels operation more efficient.
Below is the script for each additional button: [Having issues with the forums not letting me post additional code, so I will put the remaining code in a reply below.]

Image Capture-Where is the take picture button?

Hey everyone. I was going to try out the "Take Picture" feature in Image Capture, but for some reason, the button is not there. Nor is it under the customize buttons option. Does it only let you put it there if you are using a supported camera? Thanks for your help.
Max

Yeah, it wasn't me that said the C-3000Z was compatible it was this guy: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1587926&#1587926
I quite honestly can't verify this, so take it with a grain of salt. Is your situation similar to mine, where you cannot see the button at all, or is yours dimmed?
If the former, please do me a favor. I believe that the C-3000 and C-3020 are essentialy the same camera. Please open automator, select Image Capture, select Take Picture, and plug in your C-3000. Then under Camera status, it should say if it compatible or not, and you will then solve 2 problems for us. Whether the C-3000Z is compatible with Take Picture, and if your and my version of Image Capture is broken!
Thanks,
Max

Firefox 8 and 9beta. Back and Forward buttons greyed out. Right click menu also has forward and back greyed out. Updated all plugins, then disabled all plugins and extensions and started in safe mode. No change.

My forward and back buttons are greyed out after update to Firefox 8. Tried to move to 9 beta, but same behavior. Back and Forward also greyed out in right click menu.
Attempted to fix by updating all plugins and extensions, then disabled all plugins and extensions, and then tried to start in safe mode. Nothing worked.

You could have backed up your profile folder. If you did, [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] can help :)

Encore button thumbnail image capture - then disable
