Encore library assets problem: layers panel

Hi, I had a big hassle figuring out how to download my library assets. I finally got them all, but I've discovered my layers panel is not showing anything at all. Is anyone else having this problem? Got a solution?
I'm jumping through so many hoops I feel like I'm doing taxes. Except the tax guys will actually help me and talk to me on the phone.

Well I turned the computer off, started it up again opened the file...and it's showing up! Woo hoo.

Problem getting layers panel to show.

I cannot get the layers panel to show even though it is checked. Using CC 2014, OS 10.10.1 Affects all my Illustrator files.

The layers panel miraculously reappeared in all files. I have no idea where it was lurking while I was having the problem. I tried everything. But I seem to be out of trouble for now.
I have quite a few small unexplainable problems with my latest version of Illustrator and operating system. I don’t think they had their pencils quite sharp enough when they designed it all.
thank you for your interest and suggestions.
kind regards,

When using Creative Cloud Library assets created in Illustrator why are the naming conventions I use not being pulled over into the Photoshop layers?

I create the Creative Cloud Library asset in illustrator and give it a name such as "camera-icon". It shows up in my Creative Cloud Library pane in Photoshop as "camera-icon". When I use that asset in Photoshop the layer is randomly named "a56bd81d-d81f-4815-82b3-5795d410b527". Why is this happening? Shouldn't that layer resolve the name back to "camera-icon" so that when I extract files for use in my application the naming convention is correct. Right now I have to manually rename that layer again. Is this a bug or have I just not done something correctly?

I think you have pasted the entire crash log. In case of such issues in future, please paste the error screenshot.
Seems to be a permission issue. Lets follow the below suggestions:
Solution 1: Rename the following folders on your machine:
'/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Profiles'
'/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Recommended'
Solution 2: Rename the following files:
'/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps/Media_db.db'
'/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps/pdb.db'
Make sure you dont touch caps.db under the same folder. Now run the installer again. Let me know if you need more help.
Solution 3:
Please Run following commands on terminal on the machine (this will remove the corrupt fonts and should allow you to run the installer successfully) -
sudo mv "/Library/Fonts/ACaslonPro-Bold.otf" /tmp/
sudo mv "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SavedFonts/current/AdobeArabic-Bold.otf" /tmp/
sudo mv "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/HelpCfg/de_DE/goURL_lr_photoshop_de.csv" /tmp/
Please feel free to respond to this thread if you have any questions about the steps listed within the document. If you could also respond with the specific error message you receive, It would be appreciated.

Encore library tabs

Cloud / Encore Library /
Despite the install links, exe files, and then Adobe installer Encore still missing buttons.
Finally copied my libraries from Encore CS5 and CS5.1.
I notice the layers tab is still empty?

The layers panel shows you the layers of a menu in your project that you have selected in the menu viewer. If you select an asset or timeline in the project panel, the layers panel will be "empty" because there is no menu selected.
The lack of a full library with buttons is very frustrating. However, I am convinced that with the clarification of using the "Additional Solution: Install the Resource Central library content" on this link, that the content is available.
Go to this link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-mi ssing.html
Look down the page for "Additional Solution: Install the Resource Central library content."
Follow the instructions in that section.

Layers panel / Software error

I've made a half dozen projects or so using stock standard preset menus and have only just started modifying layers and importing my own menus from Photoshop.
I find I cannot enable the Layers Panel. I've searched Help and Googled, but cannot make any headway. What am I doing wrong?
Also, all of a sudden, when attempting to build a DVD from a successfully built DVD folder I get "Internal Software Error".
Can anyone help? Thanks.

modifying layers and importing my own menus from Photoshop.
The easiest workflow is to add a library menu to your project, select the menu, and "edit in photoshop." Save but do not change the name, and close it when you are ready to go back to Encore. Is that what you are doing?
I find I cannot enable the Layers Panel.
In Encore or Photoshop? Can you see it and not modify anything?

Layers Panel Bug?

I now use Encore CS5, having recently upgraded from CS3. My PC is Windows 7, 64 bit. I like to spread my panels out to 2 PC monitors. I created my Workspace and moved the Layers panel to my 2nd monitor. Now that panel is innoperative and causes flashing on the menu screen. If I switch back to the Default menu the problem goes away. I have used CS3 for years and never had this problem. Let me know if anyone knows of this bug and/or if there is a workaround.

Hi Mike Gondek2,
Thanks for the update Mike. I am trying to nail this issue down. Haven't got a single chance to repro this at my end. I need more info regarding the environment in which this issue arises.
I really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.
With Best Regards,

Exporting library assets to frame 1 causes delay

I'm fairly new to Actionscript 3, just trying to puzzle something out.
I have several small movie clips saved in the library of myCS4 Flash.fla file, I want to make them available to dynamically add to the display list as children, based on the button clicks of the viewer. I can get it all to work fine via Symbol Properties > Linkage > Export for Actionscript.
BUT - When the movie clips are set to "export for actionscript" from the Library, playback seems to hang on frame 1 until all of these exported assets have downloaded. The big problem is that I have an ultra-simple but totally custom preloader/progress animation coded in a loop in the second and third frames, which kicks out to frame 4 and continues playback as soon as the download is complete.
Because of this, the preloader has essentially become useless - because all that can be seen is several seconds of empty stage, until the vast majority of the bulky assets have downloaded. Then the preloader flashes onstage for just an instant, and disappears because the content is already up.
So, my questions are:
A) Is there a SIMPLE alternate method to load these library assets in such a way that it doesn't cause this major lag on frame 1?
B) Failing that, I suspect I may have to retool my preloader to run as an ENTER_FRAME event in frame 1. Is this worth the effort (can this potentially resolve the lag issue and allow for a meaningful preload progress animation, despite the lag from the asset export?)
Any advice, thoughts, ideas (sample code?) would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
</a>
**Edit follows**
OK, so after a little more research, I have basically answered this question for myself. I'm updating the post for the benefit of others who may find themselves in my shoes somewhere down the road.
The solution (as far as I can see) is to pretty much just avoid using the "Export for Actionscript" option for exporting assets to the timeline, as much as possible. Maybe it's fine for a few small assets, but not the best choice for large stuff, which in my case was the lions' share of the content!!
Or at least don't use the default setting of exporting to frame one!! This will likely foul up ANY preloader, because essentially Flash player will not display any of the content on frame one until ALL of the content on that frame has fully downloaded - You'll be stuck staring at an empty stage for ages, then when the preloader finally does show up on the stage and run, it will zip by in an instant while (probably) doing its job properly, but it's really only updating on the load progress of the balance of the SWF file.
The info I found suggested one easy method of making the assets available to Actionscript -- simply just place all of the required library assets into some unseen frame in the timeline, shortly AFTER your preloader runs. Then Flash Player will load them after the preloader has done its thing, and they will be available to be accessed by Actionscript later in the timeline when you really need them.
Also FYI -- I also tried changing the export settings to have Flash export the assets in question in frame four instead of frame one, with the unfortunate and unexpected result that my published SWF began skipping playback directly to frame four, which also effectively killed my preloader (which was running in frames two and three.) This glitch remained, even after reverting the export setting back to export the assets in frame one!! It seems like my .FLA file was irreversibly altered (contaminated??) by changing the export frame setting?!? Yikes!!
Luckily I had an earlier version saved under a different file name, it was relatively easy to go back to that version and bring it up to date.
Anyway - that's all for now. Hope this info can help someone else....

See edit at bottom of original post....

I am unable to add a pattern via the layers panel

Help please! All of the sudden the "add/fill a pattern" via the layers panel on the right hand side is no longer available to me... that option is grayed out and won't let me select. I can still "fill" a pattern from the top menu's pull down menu, but that does not let me change scale, etc.
this is a vital tool to me, and I have no idea why it just stopped working.
Thanks!!!

Glad that your issue resolved itself. But, it sounds like your program is Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements. Some how your thread got posted in the Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
If the problem should reoccur, please post your thread in the Photoshop Elements Forum.

Export to PDF from Autocad: Acrobat always opens PDF with 'layers panel and page' shown.

Hello,
Whenever I export to PDF from Autocad, Adobe Acrobat opens the PDF with the 'Layers Panel and Page' shown.
Each time I have to manually go to 'Properties' and select 'Page only', close 'Properties' and close the PDF and select to save the changes, in order to show the just the page.
Is there a way to make PDFs always export to 'Page only' automatically as default?
Thanks!
Ione

Thakns Peter, I had seen this thread, but it doesn't really address my issue. I've exported individual chapters from the book file, all with success, so I know there isn't a file corruption issue. The problem seems to do more with memory allocation/usage.
I have tried: quitting and then immediately exporting the file, and even rebooting and then relanuching and exporting. Both of these allow me to get a few pages farther along, but still not through the entire book.
I remember back in the day there used to be a setting for how much RAM/dis c space was allocated to a certain applicatino (I knowm it was a long time ago). I didn't know if there might be something like this hidden somewhere

How can I add a library asset to a specific master spread?

Hello! I am new to the forums and rather new to javascript as it relates to indesign so I apologize if this is rudimentary.
I am building a script that automates new document creation for our company and have run into a problem with placing library assets.
I want to add a library asset to a specific master page by name, but I cannot find a way to do this.
I can get assets to place into my document with this:
            var t = app.libraries.item(0);
            var libTapeStrip= t.assets.itemByName('Tape Strip');
            var myTapeStrip = libTapeStrip.placeAsset(myDocument);
However, the asset is being placed on a master spread that I had previously added to the document. It seems to be the active or front most spread because when the script is complete and I create a new window that spread is what is displayed with the asset on it.
I would like to place the asset on another master spread, but placeAsset() only accepts documents and text boxes. I have also looked on a way to bring the master spread I want to the front, but cannot find this either.
If anyone can lead me in the right direction I would appreciate it!!
Thanks,
Ben

@Benjamin – You could make the spread (or the page) where you want to place that asset the "activeSpread" or "activePage", place the asset and then go back to the old active one.
Something like this:
(Here I assume that you want to place your asset on a master spread named "A-Master" and the asset is the first in the one and only library file that is open.)
var myDocument = app.documents[0];
var myMaster = app.documents[0].masterSpreads.itemByName("A-Master");
var myLibrary = app.libraries[0];
var myAsset = myLibrary.assets[0];
var myOLDActiveSpread = myDocument.windows[0].activeSpread;
myDocument.windows[0].activeSpread = myMaster;
myAsset.placeAsset(myDocument);
myDocument.windows[0].activeSpread = myOLDActiveSpread;

Objects not showing in Layers panel

Hi,
I am using Indesign CS4 on a Mac 10.6.8. I have a problem with my layer panel --> it does not show a disclosure triangle, hence i cannot expand a layer to show its objects. The objects are definitely on the layer - if I click "select all objects on layer" all objects are indeed selected so technically they are on the layer --> i just can't see the drop down in the layers panel.
I tried simple things such as enlarging the panel to checking for missing fonts (i read that there are often problems w/ Verdana in the layers panel..) to restoring the preference settings.. nothing worked and i couldn't find a single forum entry on this issue..
The file i'm using is from a plug-in for a photo book, however, the layers panel does not work correctly even if i create an entire new document..
In Illustrator it works perfectly, showing all objects and paths on a layer..
Thanks soo much for your input and help!
Laura

Oh, I see. I didn't realize that since in my CS4 Illustrator I have already the "enhanced" layers panel.. So how do I re-assign existing objects to a new/different layer then if not by drag-and-drop in the panel?
Many Thanks!!

Horrible formatting of code when using library assets

I'm using library assets to manage my navigation. I then
insert the library asset into a template and use that template for
creating content. The idea is that I add or remove a navigation
entry in one place and it updates the entire site. That's working.
My problem is that the source code looks awful: it insists on
wrapping the code and removing indentations. Is this normal
??

Good going. After much fiddling and experimentation, that's
how I do it,
too.

General Error When Clicking On Library Assets

I just installed the library assets
and now when I click on any item in the library I get a "General Error" dialog.
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Don

Never mind, did an uninstall of Encore (had to uninstall After Effects too, seems they share some components), reinstalled them both and both are working well.

After Effects Crash when audio file is dragged to layers panel, but not when dragged to comp window

Ok, so this is an odd one, and as it has a work around its not a huge issue, but it would be good to get to the bottom of it.
If I load an audio file of any type (wav, aiff, mp3 etc) into the project window everything is fine, however if I drag it down to the composition layers panel I get a crash.
However, if I drag the file to the composition widow (to the right) this does not cause a crash, and now that this has loaded the audio file in question I can drag it freely wherever I like without a crash. However if I import a different audio file and drag it downward to the composition layers panel it crashes again.
I am running cs5.5 upodated to the latest 10.5.1.2 and running Mountain Lion.
Crash report

Ok, so I figured out what is causing the crash... why I do not know.
I had a background texture that was very large (5184x3456) that was hidden. If this layer was unhidden then it did not cause the crash, no other hidden layers caused the crash.
I re-sized the layer in photoshop to comp size, then re-inserted this image. It now works without a problem.
So I have solved my own problem here, would still like to know why it happened if anyone can shed some light on this?
