External editors and read-only folders

I'm trying to use LR4 to work on NEF images I'd imported from a read-only directory. While regular LR4 editing works, using an external editor doesn't because LR4 insists on trying to write a file into that read-only directory. Is there a way to persuade LR4 to put the files it uses to communicate with external editors somewhere else? I intentionally want to keep my NEF directories read-only because they're synced with other programs (which would get upset by LR4 sneaking extra files in there) and because I don't want to accidentally alter anything there.

Not for secondary editors.
Only the primary Photoshop CSx can open a file wihtout creating it first. Then tiy ba use Save As from Photoshop to choose another location.

JFileChooser and Read Only Folders in XP

The following question concerns a Java application, not a applet or web service.
If you are browsing a folder with JFileChooser the button to create a new folder is disabled if the parent folder is read-only. Under XP folders often show up as read only and cannot be easily changed by the user. Even if Windows reports that the parent folder is read only, it does not block the creation of sub-folders in it. I'd like to always make the create folder button active regardless of whether the parent folder is read only or not; that more truely reflects the folder creation permissions anyway and mimics the behaviour of an MFC file browser. How would I do this?
I've even tried to add a listener to the file chooser so that as the user browses to a new directory I automatically change the write permissions of folder, but short of a system command, there's no way to change the write permissions from JAVA so I don't consider this a neat solution.
I'm surprised that I haven't found similar complaints on the net. If you use a MFC file browser the create folder button is active, but a Java file chooser has it disabled for the same folder.
Please help.

What would you say to a new FileChooser? I love java but I'm no fan of Sun's choosers. (See www.MartinRinehart.com, Examples, ColorChooser.)
Email me if you're interested in doing one.

TS1550 OSX Upgrade (Mountain Lion) turned external drive to "read-only" and now I can not do back-ups on time machine. How do I fix this?

I recently upgraded to mountain lion, latest version OS and now my external drives are read-only. They are formatted Mac OS Extended and I have been using one of them for Time Machine. How do I fix?

Have you formatted it for Mac using Disk Utility?
If not, open Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder) and select the drive to the left. Make sure that you select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and then the erase button.
If you have already formatted the drive, call back...

External hard drive read-only?

Just got a Macbook Pro last week and I have found that my external drive is read-only, where it used to work perfectly on my old Windows laptop.
I can assume that the drive is formatted as NTFS from reading other posts, and that I must format it as FAT32 (I believe), but in the Disc Utility I do not see this option.
Can someone aid with this slight problem? I seem to be heading in the right direction as I'm not too keen on using third-party applications to enable writing.
Additionally, sometimes the drive will not connect (light stays red) but I assume that this is possibly related to the formatting issue at hand. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

It is FAT32. For some reason, OS X refers to it just as "FAT".
As AussieDJ indicated, you can use NTFS 3G. This allows your Mac to write to NTFS formatted drives. I personally have used this for quite a while and have never had issues. I have seen some posts from people saying it can be problematic. As I have never had a problem, I can't say specifically what issues might arise. Apple does offer it directly on their download pages:

I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?

I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?

People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
So IMO we can divide image processing into:
operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

External editors and file types

Hi,
I have just started using Aperture, so far very pleased but have some questions so thought I would ask the experts.
1. I have selected Elements 10 as an external editor, when I select to edit aperture creates a PSD file and starts Element 10 but does not open the file to be edited. I then have problems finding the file on my iMac.
2. Once I have found the file and edited it, if I save the file it places a modified PSD file back in the original folder but the PSD file is massive is there any other way to edit and keep in JPG format
3. The reason to edit in Elements is so I can crop to specific print sizes and ensure the image is 300 dpi. I can see in Aperture how to crop to a size but I need the result to be at 300dpi as the printer company I use will re-crop to give 300 dpi.
Thanking you in advance for any help you can give me and apologise for being a little greedy with three questions

For PSE try
http://barbarabrundage.com/2011/10/05/adobe-hide-and-seek-setting-pse-10-as-exte rnal-editor/
Point the Editor to "Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 11>Support Files>Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor"
2. Once I have found the file and edited it, if I save the file it places a modified PSD file back in the original folder but the PSD file is massive is there any other way to edit and keep in JPG format
Sorry, no. When you use an external Editor, you can only use tiff or PSD as format. Aperture will use the best lossless format. If you want jpeg, export the edited version as jpeg and reimport it.
3. The reason to edit in Elements is so I can crop to specific print sizes and ensure the image is 300 dpi. I can see in Aperture how to crop to a size but I need the result to be at 300dpi as the printer company I use will re-crop to give 300 dpi.
You can specify the 300dpi in the export preset, when you are exporting from Aperture, if the printer company insist.
In the Export Panel set the the selector for the preset to "Edit" and then select 300 dpi in the panel.

Html editor standart (read only)

Hi,
i thought that Read only section in Html editor standart is to generate that editor in read only state, but when i add some condition it displays only html source, without condition works fine ...
I am quite new in Apex, could it be done? mayby i am setting something wrong or more settings to be done
Thanks
David

David,
Thanks for being patient. I'll get it eventually... ;)
The readonly condition of an item is taken into account PRIOR to rendering the page and should be used when you don not want to make an item editable after the page is rendered. As you've found in the case of some items, it means not rendering the item as you might normally expect to see it. A simple example is a text which is usually displayed as such - an input item of type "text". However, when the readonly condition evaluates to true, the input of type "text" is replaced with an input of type "hidden" and an additional span is added to display the value.
If you wish to toggle an item's readonly property with the page having been rendered, then custom JavaScript code must be used.
Sorry if I'm still off. Let me know...
Regards,
Dan

Crashes and read-only file systems

Notice: I apolgize for the long post, I've tried to be as thorough as possible. I have searched everywhere for possible solutions, but things I've found end up being temporary workarounds or don't apply to my situation. Any help, even as simple as, "have you checked out XYZ log, it's hidden here", would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I'm not sure what exactly caused the issues below, but they did start to happen within a day of running pacman -Syu. I hadn't run that since I first installed Arch on December 2nd of this year.
Setup:
Thinkpad 2436CTO
UEFI/GPT
SSD drive
Partitions: UEFISYS, Boot, LVM
The LVM is encrypted and is broken up as: /root, /var, /usr, /tmp, /home
All LVM file systems are EXT4 (used to have /var and /tmp as ReiserFS)
The first sign that something was wrong was gnome freezing. Gnome would then crash and I'd get booted back to the shell with all filesystems mounted as read-only. I started having the same issues as this OP:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704
At the time, I had /var and /tmp as ReiserFS, and would also get reiserfs_read_locked_inode errors.
When shutting down (even during non-crashed sessions) I would notice this during shutdown:
Failed unmounting /var
Failed unmounting /usr
Followed by a ton of these:
device-mapper: remove ioctl on <my LVM group> failed: Device or resource busy
Nother of these errors had ever appeared before.
After hours of looking for solutions (and not finding any that worked) I was convinced (without any proof) that my Reiser file systems were corrupt and so I reformatted my entire SSD and started anew - not the Arch way, I know I set all logical volumes as EXT4.
After started anew, I noticed
device-mapper: remove ioctl on LVM_SysGroup failed: Device or resource busy
was still showing up, even with just a stock Arch setup (maybe even when powering off via Arch install ISO, don't remember). After a lot of searching, I found that most people judged it a harmless error, so I ignored it and continued setting up Arch.
I set up Gnome and a basic LAMP server, and everything seemed to work for a couple of hours. Soon after, I got the same old issues back. The System-journald issue came back and per the workaround on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704 and a couple other places, I rotated the journals and stopped journald from saving to storage. That seemed to stop THOSE errors from at least overwhelming the shell, but I would still get screen freezes, crashes, and read-only file systems.
I had to force the laptop to power off, since poweroff/reboot/halt commands weren't working (would get errors regarding the filesystems mounted as read-only).
I utilized all disk checking functions possible. From running the tests (SMART test included) that came as part of my laptop's BIOS to full blown fsck. All tests showed the drive was working fine, and Fsck would show everything was either clean, or
Clearing orphaned inode ## (uid=89, gid=89, mode=0100600, size=###
Free blocks count wrong (###, counted=###)
Which I would opt to fix. Nothing serious, though.
I could safely boot back into Arch and use the system fine until the system decides to freeze/crash and do the above all over again.
The sure way of recreating this for me is to run a cron job on a local site I'm developing. After a brief screen freeze (mouse still moveable but everything is otherwise unreponsive) I'll systemctl status mysqld.service and notice that mysqld went down.
It seems that it's at this point my file systems are mounted as read only, as trying to do virtually anything results in:
unable to open /var/db/sudo/...: Read-only file system
After some time, X/Gnome crashes and I get sent back to shell with
ERROR: file_stream_metrics.cc(37)
RecordFileError() err = 30 source = 1 record = 0
Server terminated successfully (0)
Closing log file.or_delegate.h(30)] sqlite erro1, errno 0: SQL logic error or missing database[1157:1179
rm: cannot remove '/tmp/serverauth.teuroEBhtl': Read-only file system
Before all this happened, I was using Arch just fine for a few weeks. I wiped the drives and started anew, and this still happens with just the minimal number of packages installed.
I've searched for solutions to each individual problem, but come across a hack that doesn't solve anything (like turning off storing logs for journal), or the solution doesn't apply to my case.
At this point, I'm so overwhelmed I'm not even sure where exactly to pick up figuring this issue out.
Thanks in advance for any help

Did this occur when you booted from the live/install media?
What is your current set up? That is, partitions, filesystems etc. I take it you have not yet reinstalled X but are in the default CLI following installation?
If turning off log storage didn't help, reenable it so that you may at least stand a chance of finding something useful.
What services, if any, are you running? What non-default daemons etc.?
Does it happen if you keep the machine off line?
Have you done pacman -Syu since installation and dealt with any *.pacnew files?

Missing "illustrations" tab and read-only information

After a Windows XP Home repair, no illustration tab and read-only information by new music downloads. Have most recent itunes. Can someone help me...please?

Thanks Gilad, In that case, is there then a way (via a script) that if I leave field 2 as not readonly, so the cursor moves into this field on tab out of field one, that I can reject any input from the user, if field one does not contain any data ? I thought this might be a solution. I have the script with the If Else statement, that sets the value of field 2 to "", if the value of field 1 is also "", but what is the else statement required to accept the value, if the content of field 1 is not "" ?.
The script preoduces an error, if field 1 is blank, and I try to enter data into field 2 and then tab out of field.

Possible to make an item editable for certain users and read only for other

Is it possible to make an item editable for certain users and read only for others?
I've been able to accomplish this by taken the select statement that I used to define an authorization scheme, placing it in the Read Only condition of the item. However, I would like to simply reference the authorization scheme to utilize caching, and to help keep things cleaner for future maintenance.
Is it possible to reference an authorization scheme in an item condition similar to the way another item can be referenced by preceding it with a colon (i.e. :P1_First_Name)?

Thank you, your suggestion worked.
It would be nice on a future release of APEX if a drop-down box existed under the Ready Only section that would allow an existing Authorization Scheme to be selected or negated when applying the Read Only attribute to a form item.

Can't mount USB disk with the atribute of fix and read-only

Hello All,
I have a usb disk which is set as fix(non-removalbe) and read-only. I tried to connect it to Macbook version 10.4.11 ,but it failed to mount the disk. However, connecting to 10.5.X and windows XP work fine. I am wondering is it a bug specifically in 10.4.11 only ? Could I get any patch for this problem ?
Thanks,
Ying

HI Ying and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Try repairing disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Editable and Read-Only Date Picker have different display formats -- Bug?

Hi all,
This is a follow on to a previous posting about getting a Date Picker field to display read-only (Date Picker and Read-Only Condition works on LAST state of element
Now past that hurdle, I have noticed something about the date picker field when it is displays read-only. Namely, the date format is not the format selected, nor does the read-only date format comply with the format mask in the source section.
I've modified my small test app to work as intended in order to demonstrate this feature. I also opened it up so everyone can see it <blush>. You can find it here: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42513: Please navigate to the Update Project tab.
When a project in Program One through Four is selected (which has a Spec Committed date), the date is displayed DD-MON-YY format. When a project the other Programs (which do not have Spec Committed dates at the time of this writing) are selected, and a date value selected with the date picker, the date is displayed in the anticipated DD-MON-YYYY format.
Anyone else notice this, or have I just missed something obvious?
Thanks,
Petie

I'm not sure why this happens but to work around it I added this before header process code to the page:
execute immediate 'alter session set nls_date_format = ''DD-MON-YYYY''';
