Feature Request: assertion failed! - but why???

I request a way for plugin authors to get at some more detailed information about various Lightroom failures when things dont work.
For example, some strings to go with "assertion failed!" would often be helpful.

Maybe its your specific workflow, asset mangement and use of a 3rd party application that runs you into an issue.
Take Pluraleyes out of the equation, I would imagine my workflow is the same as most everyone else. Find footage in the Media Browser. Import it. Create a Sequence and start editing. Use the Source Monitor to set Ins and Outs and then Insert the clip on the timeline.
At this point, if the audio needs to be modified, it cannot be done on the Timeline. The workaround, of course, is to Find Clip in Project; Modify Audio in the Project panel; then do a Matchframe to replace the audio clip. This works, but requires many steps per clip. Also, Matchframe in Premiere Pro CC is not reliable.
Introducing a new Modify Audio (from Timeline) feature as seen in the fantasy screenshot above would solve it.
I dont use Pluraleyse ...which I understand to be a synching aid...so I dont know the workflow it imposes on one .
Returning to Pluraleyes workflow, this issue is compounded by the need to Modify almost ALL audio. Every stereo track is separated and placed on two MONO tracks taking up precious real estate. This is not something Pluraleyes imposes. It is due to the way Premiere imports XML timelines. This would apply to sequences imported from Final Cut as well.
In this case it would be ideal to select both the LEFT and RIGHT mono tracks and choose "Modify > Audio Channels > Merge L/R Mono to a Single Stereo track." Ideal? No. I guess Ideal would be if Premiere would interpret XML files properly in the first place.
What actually is the issue with Premieres synch and merge workflow in your case?
Audio Sync in Premiere Pro doesn't work. Period.

I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Back-up Failed, but why?

1st backup; used Seagate Slim as suggested by Apple staff; through Time Machine; failed. I don't know why though. How do I find out why it failed?

Was the formatting correct in the external HDD? Did you test the new drive to confirm it was in working condition before seeking to use it as a backup device? Some drives can be DOA or inoperative when new.
Also, if the hard disk drive runs on port power (no AC adapter) that may be an issue should the computer not have additional port (USB) power available. So, if you have other USB items plugged into your computer, you may need to get a powered USB hub. Or get an externally enclosed hard disk drive that is equipped with its own AC power adapter.
There could be a need for your OS X to be updated to support TimeMachine; in some instances you have to check to be sure the software can recognize the targetted device before leaving it to attempt a backup. Plus, do not rely on one device for a backup of your computer; a Time Machine backup is OK, but not a complete backup. A separate externally enclosed hard disk drive with its own power supply, is recommended, and if it is large enough, could be partitioned so it could support a full system clone (bootable backup) you could make. To make a bootable system clone, you'd need to read-up and use a clone utility, such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner from Bombich software.
You could try a different external drive, since the one you bought probably can be exchanged at retail for another. A durable unit for backups could be a better advantage; such as one of the drive options offered by one of the mac-centric vendors like macsales owc. However I've never bought anything from them, the community of Mac users has mostly good reports; and they do have quality RAM upgrades.
Good luck & happy computing!

ORA-01722: invalid number - I know where its failing - but why???

Not a clue..
lMy code is trying to update certain employees with their most recent entry - its the cursor ......... I'm using, I know I'm wanting it to use a NUMBER in '............' but its not using one (around the 'Section 2 part')..

So if someone could suggest how I fix this 'invalid number' issue I'd be extremely grateful...
thanks for loooking..
TimYou need to get very clear in your head what is a number and what isn't, as well as what to_number() does.
this is a number ===> 123456
(notice the lack of quotes?)
this is a character string, not a number ===> '123456'
(notice the quotes?)
I don't care how much the second looks like a number to you, as far as oracle is concerned it is just a string of characters, fundamentally no different than your last name.
the function TO_NUMBER() is used to convert a character string that looks like a number (in other words, all of the characters in the string are numeric characters - characters that we use to represent numbers) into a real number. Thus
sql> select to_number('123456') from dual;is a legitimate use of the function. However
sql> select to_number(123456) from dual;Makes no sense, because you are asking it to convert a number to a number. So internally, it has to first recast the number into a character string so that it can pass a legal argument to TO_CHAR to be converted back to a number.

SSLSocket to support NIO - feature request voting

Hello All,
I know there were many discussions here regarding this subject.
I've seen the SSLEngine solution for the problem... But I didn't like it since it is too complicated.
For my understanding SSLSocket inherits Socket so an application that can handle Sockets should be able to handle SSLSocket without writing a specific code besides the factory.
NIO allows Socket to be none blocking... So why SSLSocket which is a Socket does not?
If I write a Web server in Java, why should I deal with none SSL and SSL connections in a different way?
I recently wrote one threaded NIO server and was amazed that I could not use SSL with the same implementation.
I've opened a feature request for Java, but they told me to gain support for this subject here before they will consider it...
As I understand I can re-implement SSLSocket to use SSLEngine and support NIO with blocking and none blocking support... But I think Sun should do it.
One caveat is to make sure that the SSLSocket HandshakeCompletedListener should be called by a daemon thread, so that it will not block other sockets while certificate verification occur.
Of course when I refer to SSLSocket I also refer to SSLServerSocket.
Can you please comment regarding this issue... Every comment will be welcomed!
Best Regards,
Alon Bar-Lev

nah, I am very glad they released an engine separate from transport allowing encryption on any transport.
I am also working on an abstraction of nio that you may be interested in if you don't want to do the security yourself......it is here...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/channelmanager
Right now, it only contains the api, but there are 3 implementations behind it right now with 3 to be added.
1. Basic implementation that does just nio
2. Secure implementation that implements same api and uses implementation 1
3. Packettizer implementation which puts things in payloads with headers and footers
4. (to be added) Threadpool implementation allowing a threadpool to be inserted in the stack somewhere
5. (to be added) TestProxy implementation allowing exxceptions to be thrown on purpopse to test a system on a bad network....can test failure on bind, connect, read, write, etc....everything.
6. denial of service layer.
7. Exception catch layer to protect #1 and #4 mainly from bad clients that throw exceptions back to the channelmanager.
Each one of these layers (2 - 4) implements the same api and uses the same api so 2 -4 are all proxies. You can reorganize the proxies as you want.
The secure one is almost done. Any comments on the api will be welcome.
thanks,
dean

Formatter Feature Requests

Yes, I know there's the other SQL Developer site. I posed my feature request there too, but it disappeared. So just in case, here it is again:
Name: Formatter Option "List Items Per Line"
Description:
Sets the max # of list items that will appear on a line before a line break is generated. For example, if set to 5 (and everything else the current defaults) the following SQL:
select A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9 from tbl_a;would be reformatted as:
SELECT a1, a2, a3, a4, a5,
a6, a7, a8, a9
FROM tbl_a;and:
update tbl_a set a1=somefunc(param1,param2,param3,param4,param5,param6)would be reformatted as:
UPDATE tbl_a
SET a1=Somefunc(Param1,Param2,Param3,Param4,Param5,
Param6)

Your request is still there - I have seen it.
Thanks for checking.

Feature request: Add "Cancel" button to the close program / backup actions pop up window

Please add a way to cancel out of an unintended close of LR4. I cannot count how many times I have thought of something else I needed to do or wanted to try, only to have to totally restart the program to complete the action. If I prematurely exit the program I would like a way to get back in without having to totally close out and restart. LR3 suffers from the identical coding/programming oversight. Thanks.

Ok, so I did not see this feature request for LR4 but was able to find a few references for it under LR3 (which I apparently missed before posting this request). Is this simple request really that difficult a programming feat?

Is there a way to include images in a feature request to apple?

I often feel that that best way to convey my feature request is with an image showing an example of the request.
Does anyone know of a way to include images along with your feature request?
Thanks

No, but I suppose you could always upload the images elsewhere and link to them.

I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account? I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.

Why can't I get my mail, I get a message "connection to server failed" but I can get on all other web sites. It worked fine until about a month ago.

have you tried removing and readding the e-mail account? sometimes settings get corrupted or changed on the server end...something computers can sometimes handle better than the mail interface.

TS3992 My iPad hasn't backed up to iCloud for 2 weeks so I've connected it to my laptop and it still won't backup and this is AFTER I paid for extra iCloud storage. I'm so frustrated because it keeps saying back-up failed but I don't know why.

My iPad hasn't backed up to iCloud for 2 weeks after repeated attempts even AFTER I paid extra for more iCloud storage. I've connected it to my laptop and it still won't backup. I'm so frustrated because it keeps saying back-up failed but I don't know why. Please help, thanks!

To back up to your computer, right-click on the name of your iPad on the left side of iTunes and click Back Up. (If running iTunes 11, first go to View>Show Sidebar.)
To get your iPad to back up to iCloud again, try deleting your last backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
If it still won't back up you may have network issues connecting to the iCloud server. Solutions to that include power-cycling your wireless router (unplugging it for 15 seconds, then plugging it back in), resetting network settings on your phone (in Settings>General>Reset), updating the firmware on your router, and changing the router's DNS settings to use Google's public DNS (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using).

Feature Request - If a Save to PSD fails because of image size, offer to Save to PSB

Feature request — If a save to a PSD aborts when the file size grows beyond 2 GB, offer to save the file as a PSB instead of just displaying an error message and quitting. Better yet, if the image is to big to begin with, make the offer before starting the save operation. Similarly, if an image is too large to save to TIFF, offer to save it as a PSD or PSB.
When you’re working on large files, it would be nice not to have to redo a Save as a Save As to PSB after several minutes delay.
BTW, I tried without success to post this at the feedback site. Once again, a dialog opened asking for a verification code that would be sent to me by e-mail, which in past attempts has never arrived.

Not a bad idea, though really what would be even better is if other 3rd parties would embrace the PSB format so we could just use PSB for everything and leave PSD behind. There's almost no difference in size. Here's the same file saved in both formats:
C:\TEMP>dir egb.ps*
Volume in drive C is C - NoelC4 SSD
Volume Serial Number is 00ED-C11E
Directory of C:\TEMP
06/30/2012 01:04 PM 1,411,420 EGB.psb
06/30/2012 12:14 AM 1,397,248 EGB.psd
In my case, I don't send PSDs to anyone, they just represent archives of my master work, and I will always have a modern version of Photoshop to read them with. So if I could I would just use PSB for all master files. Problem is, two 3rd party tools I like to use don't currently handle it:
IrfanView
FastPictureViewer Codec Pack
Probably some day in the future they'll work. I encourage you to write to the people whose tools you'd like to see be able to read PSB to implement support.

Simple but powerfull feature request!

Hi guys!
Imagine this in PS:
When pressing a hotkey (for example ctrl+M or something like that) PS would magnify the pixels around your cursor, lets say like 50x50 pixels. This would let you place your cursor instantly in the exact spot you want still seeing also the whole image! I think it would be great, especially when making precise selection start points with the selection tools! At the moment you need to zoom in the whole image and after that zoom out to be able to select more so this small feature would totally remove that step as you would instantly see a close up of the pixels near your cursor!
If anyone feels like this is a good idea, let's post it together as a feature request to Adobe! I'm sure if many of us will post it, they will eventually include it, since it's not a very hard feature to implement at all!

There is a new feature, the official name of it I can't recall, which with the press of a single key, allows you to zoom OUT of a high res image, and back in again at a defined point very quickly. This is an Open GL feature meaning that you need a half decent graphics card for it to work. It allows precision placement as you need.

When I FaceTime other people it says connecting then face time failed. Why??

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Unfortunately, we may have to wait until Apple is more forthcoming with information.

Feature request: keyword search like Google Toolbar

One of the features (well, the ONLY feature) that keeps me from using Safari as my default browser is a feature I get through Google's Toolbar.
After you type in keywords for a search in Google's toolbar. You can click on the word (in the right area) and it will automatically find the next occurrence of that word on the page. (You can alternatively clock on the "highlighter" icon and it will highlight any words in your search). You can find any individual word.
Safari's feature to do this, as far as I can tell, is far less useful. After you type in some keywords. You can click on the magnifying glass and at the bottom, it has the ability to search for the keyword OR phrase, depending on how you search.
Google's Toolbar feature is amazingly productive -- and useful. I can't figure out why none of the browsers have picked up on this feature.
(If someone knows a way to do this with Safari, I'd appreciate it).
Thank you.

Thank you very much for the responses. I spent forever trying to find the feature request area in support, but failed. Perhaps it would have bitten me.... Thanks for the pointer...
As for this capability, there's no reason why a browser couldn't support this feature -- doesn't matter that Google did it in a toolbar. And, in fact, if you click on the magnifying glass in the search box, it does allow you to search within the current page for what you searched for (though it's limited only to the "phrase"). It's at the bottom... You have to have words in the search box to see this.
I'll make the suggestion directly to Apple.
To anyone who hasn't used this capability -- it's really powerful. That said, you need the Google Toolbar which is only supported on Firefox, not Safari (on the Mac platform).
