Every file that I import has an hourglass rather than a thumbnail photo in Organizer.

Please help! All of a sudden all I get are hourglasses in Organizer. No thumbnaul photos. When I click on the hourglass the photo then appears as a large image. I clicked on update thumbnail but it did not seem to work. Thanks

Good response from Adobe saves the day. I followed the second part of this, creating another catalogue and importing. A tad difficult as PSE9 would not back up my latest images from the old catalogue. This is what Tech Support sent me
please follow these steps to resolve your issue:
->Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
->Open Organizer and click on File-> Catalog
->Select your catalog and click Repair.
->Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
->Then for good measure, click Optimize.
If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog. If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails. Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.
Thanks for your help Howard, much appreciated.

How do I find out the exact path of each and every file that LabVIEW finds and loads into memory for a given top level vi?

How do I find out the exact path of each and every file that LabVIEW finds and loads into memory for a given top level vi? There is probably a trivial, easy way to get this info, but I have not yet found it! Thanks..

Or if you want to grab all the paths programatically, try the attached VI.
Open the top level that you want all the paths from and close all others, then open the
attached and run it. It will return an array of all the VIs that the VI
in question uses, including vi.lib VIs. You can filter these as well if
you like.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

How can I edit a pdf file that was imported?

I want to edit a pdf/jpeg file that I imported/placed in AI? Can that be done?

Steven,
Illy just sees a bunch of pixels as do the rest of us.
You may use Image/Live Trace with suitable settings, expand, and let her work with the resulting vector artwork.
Or you may draw a (set of path(s) round the part(s) you want to keep (turning htem into a compound path in case of multiple paths, then select everything and Object>Clipping Mask>Make. That will only hide the outlying parts (unless you do the destructive deed), and you only have limited ways of (further) editing.
Or you may work in Photoshop or similar.

If you are using the JFileChooser to open the document, I would create another class with this included:
//initiate class variables
private File f;
//create JFileChooser
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY)
//set the chooser to initialise File f with the file selected
int status = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
if (status == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
f = fc.getSelectedFile();
public File getFile()
return f;
}

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

How can I get a free adobe reader to open the files that my instructor has sent and listen to her feedback

Any Ideas?

Hi tpcruiser22,
Did your instructor provide PDF files? You can get the free Adobe Reader for viewing them from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.
And if you want to "listen" to the files that your instructor provided, you can activate Read Out Loud in Reader by choosing View > Read Out Loud > Activate Read Out Loud.
Best,

Lightroom 4-How to reorganize files by date when choosing to add rather than copy them to Lightroom

My photos were in disorganized folders on different hard drives. I was able to import them into Lightroom 4 using COPY, and now my folders are reorganized by year and month on my hard drive, which is how I want them. However, I now have a copy of my photos in my catalog and a copy of each photo in my photo folder on my hard drive. This is taking up too much space. Is there a way to have Lightroom automatically import my pictures and reorganize them into folders by date using the ADD option rather than the copy option when importing from my hard drive? Thank you!

Meaning that they are still where they were, scattered, and not catalogued in LR. PLUS, there is a copy of each file in the place you copied them to when you imported them, and these are the versions of the files that are catalogued in LR. Right?
You said:

Yes, one set, the original ones, viewable only in Explorer/Finder, the other/duplicate set viewable in LR (and/or also in Explorer/Finder).
You said: This is taking up too much space.
So just delete the original versions, as long as you are sure that you have them all in the copied-to location (where they are catalogued by LR).

As jd_paige says, next time use MOVE instead of COPY. If you use ADD, they will remain where they are. Sometimes it is easier to do it this way, and then move/reorganize them once you have them in the catalogue.

How do I place a file into the body of the email rather than as an attachment?

I sometimes want to include a file, such as a "card" into the body of an email rather than as an attachment so that it appears immediately upon opening the email. I did this successfully at Christmas, but cannot remember how to do so now.

The email specification doesn't allow that. PDF files, as for any content other than text or HTML, has to be sent as a link or an attachment.

Horizontal RSS feed- is it possible to create an RSS feed (showing both pictures and text), that scrolls from left to right rather than top to bottom?

I am trying to create an RSS feed that will scroll from left to right rather than top to bottom as is standard in iWeb. Ideally, I would like to show both images and text. I am actually using iWeb '09. I am not opposed to writing html code if necessary.
Thank you for your help!

Treats every graphic link/button like a view image rather than directing me to the target address.

Not sure how to explain this -
if I'm visiting a website and click on a graphic link, it directs me to a new tab displaying the graphic image I just clicked, rather than the target site. It treats every graphic link (or button) like I'm asking to "view image".
I've tried right clicking to "open link in new tab" - same result.
Sorry I can't explain it any clearer.

Is there an about:config option to change FF's default action when closing a tab so that it displays the previous tab rather than the next tab?

With the new 3.6 tabbing behaviour (new tabs open to the right of the current tab, rather than at the end of the tab list), the old default behaviour when a tab is closed is no longer appropriate. Instead of displaying the next tab after the one that was closed, FF should display the previous one. Is there an about:config option to change the default behaviour upon closing a tab?

Try one of these:

How can I tell that an individual product is installed rather than being a part of Creative Suite?

Dear All,
Sorry if this question is not appropriate for this forum, but I could not find a better one.
When I inventory a computer's registry, how can I know that the individual product (such as PhotoShop CS5) is installed, rather than installed as part of the product suite, such as Creative Suite CS6?
Kindest regards,
QuietLeni

Mylenium,
Is this true for ALL versions of the Adobe Suites or just the latest ones?
I seem to have a computer which is showing up in the list of machines with CS5 installed and in the list of machines with PhotoShop CS5 installed.
Kindest regards,
QuietLeni

Why do the MP4 files that I import to Premiere Pro CC have unsynced audio? (Resolved)

I have identified and resolved.the issue. There is a bug with how Premeire Pro handles importing videos with variable frame rate.
Community Memeber Walter.Johnson found a work-around at the bottum of this post, which also has the identification and submission of the bug itself:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1110005?start=40&tstart=0
I had to convert the video with "constant framerate" selected in handbrake. I'm believe the ffmpeg CLI equivilant switch is "-cfr" but I have not tested to be sure.
I can now import videos with synced audio!
I have recorded several hours of footage using a program called XSplit (a screen recording tool).
The files are recorded in a FLV format and I then convert them to MP4 as premiere pro cant read then in FLV.
In a MP4 format I can import the files into Premiere Pro CC and the video looks perfect, but the audio is unsynced. It is also unsynced in non-linear way so it is not something that I can simply unlink and adjust to compensate as it would have to be done manually every minute.
If I import these same MP4s into other video editing programs they import perfectly fine and have no audio sync issues what-so-ever. I only experience this issue in Premeire Pro CC. I can even tested these videos in 6 different media players and they play perfecly fine.
If I convert the files to AVI using ffmpeg or ffmpeg assisted tools it will not import into Premiere Pro CC and gives a "unsupported format or damaged file" error. Once again, this avi can be played and edited in several other programs no problem.
Here are the details about one of these files:
VIdeo Codec: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
Video: 1280x720
Audio Codec: mp4a: MPEG-4 ACC LC
Audio: 44100hz 63 kb/s tot , stereo (2/0)
Anyone have any ideas on why the audio is becomming de-synced in Premiere Pro CC only?

I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
Kindly inform us if it works.
Thank you all.
Cheers.

Adding transitions to files that were imported from imovie 8

I am trying to edit some files from DVDs that were ripped using handbrake. Since I couldn't import them directly to FCE4, I put them in imovie8, exported them and then imported them into Final Cut. For some reason, I am unable to add transitions between two clips. Any ideas what could be causing this, and how the issue can be fixed?
Thanks
