File.openDlg bug

I think I've found a bug in CS6/Mac.
This bit of code illustrates the problem:
var f = File("~/Desktop/test.jpg");
var files = f.openDlg();
This should provide a File Open dialog on Desktop with the file "test.jpg" preselected and you can select any type of file since a file selector was not specified.
This works fine on Win7 but on the Mac, it will only let you select jpg files. Even if you specify a selector to step around this, it still will only let you choose jpgs.
Can somebody test this for me on the Mac? I want to be sure I don't have a busted install.
TIA

Windows 8.1 x64 - Serious "file move" bug

I've reliably replicated a file copy bug in Windows 8.1. It's rather significant, and needs to be fixed ASAP, but this is the only forum I can find where I can even report it.
Problem: A drag-and-drop (or cut-and-paste) "move" operation where the destination files already exist results in the dropped files being deleted without warning, with the destination files being unchanged.
How to replicate: Take the following steps, which assume that your Desktop is located on your C: drive.
Create a folder on the C: drive. Name it "zzz" to make it easy to find.
Create a folder on the Desktop, then create another "zzz" folder inside of it. Let's name this one "Desktop\Test\zzz" for clarity.
Copy a couple of files from a different drive into both "zzz" folders, so that the contents of both folders are identical. It is best if the files are at least a few days old, so the last-modified date will be obvious.
Change one or two of the files in the Desktop's "zzz" folder. The nature of the change doesn't matter.
Make sure you have two Explorer windows open - one for Desktop\Test and one for C:\ - to facilitate file copying.
Drag the new "zzz" folder from Desktop\Test into C:\.
What should happen at this point is that, since you're moving files where the filenames are the same, Windows should show an alert box and prompt you for the correct handling of the situation. However, that's not what happens. The Desktop's "zzz"
folder quietly vanishes, and the C:\zzz folder retains its old files. The new files are deleted without warning. In addition, if you use Ctrl-Z to Undo the copy...the Desktop "zzz" folder comes back, but it's empty. All of your changes
are irretrievably gone.
The folder depth doesn't seem to be relevant; I discovered the bug while working with files several folders deep, but the demonstration shows that it happens at the root level as well. Likewise, there's nothing special about the C: drive; I replicated it
on R:\ (an external USB hard drive) just as easily. Similarly, I should point out that performing these steps between two different drives (triggering a copy rather than a move) is handled correctly, although using shift-drag to force a move demonstrates the
same bug.
When using Cut/Paste instead of (shift-)drag/drop, the same thing happens, but at least there's an alert box. It's not helpful, but it does at least show a message:
Item Not Found
Could not find this item
This is no longer located in (folder name). Verify the item's location and try again.(icon and file information)
However, none of the three options presented will do you any good; by the time you see this alert box, the source folder and its contents have already been deleted.

Thing is, I *do* get prompted when there are conflicts while copying folders. I've been using Windows 8.1 since it came out, professionally and every day, and I've not run across a file-copy gotcha worse than a copy conflict prompt popping
behind an open window (but it does always get issued).
I wonder what could now be configured differently between our two setups... I have installed the program Classic Shell, and it does add some capabilities to Explorer. However, I don't recall "correcting the handling of folder copy conflicts"
ever being listed as one of the things it brings to the party.
Sorry that setting alone didn't correct the whole issue for you.

File Sharing Bug with Windows
Hi,
there are some windows in our firm and we're sharing the files using File Sharing. The problem is that the windowses can see the files not only the ones in public folder, but also whole disk, like Desktop, Library etc. When i installed Lion, it was happened again for one time. But then it fixed in a way which i don't know. After Mountain Lion, this problem occurs again.
So, why can it be happened and how do i fix it? please help me.

Vexing 10.5.6 file system bugs causing crashes; wose with Server OS 10.5.x

We continue to experience occasional MacOS 10.5.6 data volume instabilities. Just today, the system reported that it could not repair a purely archival data volume at a time when I was not accessing the volume and had not asked the OS to 'repair' it.
Then when manually running a repair on that same data volume in Disk Utility, storage services caused a kernel panic crash.
This problem was more prevalent when I tried the server version of Mac OS 10.5.6, where the OS caused disk volume corruption on the dedicated TimeMachine backup drive, and then started to crash frequently in the face of that self-induced corruption.
There was no disk volume corruption and no crashes before 10.5.6.
I would like to know why there should never be a file system condition on data volumes that would induce the entire OS to crash. I would completely understand a forced dismount of the corrupted volumes perhaps, or continuing in a read-only mode until the impacted volume could be repaird, BUT NOT AN OS CRASH. Even attempting to use the repair function on the unmounted volume would cause a crash.
The reason I know this is a file system bug and not the hardware is that the same system can endlessly zero out the data on the same drives, copy large test files to & from the drives, etc. The only situation where these file system crashes happen is with high file counts as one would encounter on a backup drive or on a data archive drive.

This evening OS 10.5.6 reported that Time Machine could not write to its target backup volume on one of the new 1.5TB drives...the nightmare cycle of
1. OS 10.5.6 causes volume corruption
2. OS 10.5.6 unable to repair volume corruption, crashing instead
3. OS 10.5.6 crashes over and over as it tries to auto-mount the volume
4. hard drive has to be physically ejected and wiped using a WINDOWS system so that it can be used again!
This is a sickening tale of disk corruption woe that started with the OS 10.5.6 update.
As fast as I opened an AppleCare support case on this issue, they were closing it behind my back without resolving the issue.
The kernel panics related to the volume mount problem are simply outragrous:
"jnl: mod block start: buffsize 512 not a multiple of block size 4096\n"
KERNEL PANICS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN DUE TO A VOLUME MOUNT ERROR---EVER.
And yet I see in the support database that this is a recurring theme that has been seen in other OS storage situations, including Xserve storage where the bug would cause much more business damage.
I want this fixed NOW.

Could someone please explain to me how to file a bug report?

Hi,
I had a problem recently with a bug in uevnts. I found a workaround for it, However when I went to open a bug that had similar symptoms the user got mad and closed the bug. Could someone please explain to me what I need to do to correctly file a bug report, and please don't say read the wiki. As in order to get log files, I need to know where they are, etc...
Thanks,
MarcoRosso.

What questions remain after consulting the wiki? Maybe you can post the bug report in question, so it will be easier for others to point out how you could have responded more constructively. First general place to look for log files is /var/log/*.

File menu bug in Elements 8 for Mac

I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac. While the software overall works very well, I noticed a bug which has now started hampering my work. Out of the blue, 'Open', 'Open New Blank File' and 'Browse with Bridge' in the file menu become grey (disabled) and shotrcuts for opening files (Command-O and Command-N) or clicking on the open new file icon yield no result. Preferences menu cannot be accessed as well. As per the software license, I installed Elements on an iMac running OS 10.5.8 and on my MacBook running OS 10.4.11 I am having this problem on both :-( The menus do appear but intermittently. Any help to fix this bug would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I got it!!!!!
It's a clipboard related problem! Whenever I copy an image (a vector image or graphic specifically) from any application, New 'Image from Clipboard' option (in the file menu) gets enabled in Elements 8 and due to it, all menus relating to opening a new file get disabled including, strangely, preferences. Somehow Elements assumes that the new file/image will be the same as the one in the clipboard. The moment I copy any text in any application (so that the clipboard does not have any graphic in it), the disabled Elements menus get enabled! It seems Elements 8 does not support vector graphics perhaps that's why..

Finder - Multiple files open - Bug persists in 10.6.2

I upgraded to 10.6.2 yesterday. I have 3 Macs, a 24" iMac (Late 2007), a 2.53 GHz MacBook Pro (Feb 2009) and a Mac mini (March 2009).
I tested the previous problem of opening multiple jpg files from the Finder, and in some cases they all open in one Preview window, but in many cases they open in two Finder windows. I see this problem on all 3 my Macs.
This happens when I try to open a larger number of files, e.g. 30 or 40 files, typically they are around 40-100 kB big.
So this bug seems to be a bit better, but it still is there, it has not been fixed.

ok, hmmm do you have any thing thats set to open when you login? if not what i'd like you to do for me is test it in a new user. create a temp acct on the computer and see if it does it there. if it DOESN'T then from finder select go>home>library>preferences>and take the com.apple.finder.plist and move it to the desktop then restart. if it DOES happen in the second user then please let me know and ill see if if i can find any thing else other than to reinstall snow leopard. if you do have login items i'd like you to remove them and reboot to see if it still happens.

New Album from Smart Album makes NEW VERSIONS of all files? Bug?

Got what I think is an oddball bug here, but see if any of you have experienced it.
Making a new album of the contents of a Smart Album with about 600 images resulted in the SBOD, a lot of time and disk activity and the creation of NEW VERSIONS of all the files populating the new album. This, of course, also doubled the number of files in the original Smart Album, since the keywords used are a match. First thinking it might be something I had not read in the manual, I grabbed the book and could not find this behavior listed…..so….my expected result is a new album with the identical contents of the Smart Album selected as the source.
I am creating a presentation for a client whose work is in multiple projects in a ~150GB library. All images are heavily keyworded, so making Smart Albums of specific elements of the work was easy. My intended workflow to get through this mountain of pix was to make Smart Albums of specific elements, then make New Albums from each, manually edit and reorg these albums individually, then combine my edits into a single book file.
Now the structure leading to this problem is as follows:
1) I created a single “main” folder to store all projects and other elements and hierarchy for this client. Clicking on this folder returns some 8500 images spanning multiple projects…all as expected.
2) At the top level of this “main” folder, I made about 20 Smart Albums to presort the main elements I wanted to include. I made the first Smart Album by clicking the icon in the top bar. The rest of the smart albums I made by duplicating the previous Smart Album, then changing keyword selection. I would select the new keywords I wanted, then de-select the ones that were from the album I had duplicated. The reason I did it that was for speed, there is little delay in displaying the items that were already searched for, and a significant delay in going from new. Anyway, somewhere in this process, I decided to organize my workflow further, so I created a new folder (calling it Smart Album Selects) at the same level as the Smart Albums, and then dragged the Smart Albums into the new Smart Album Selects folder. Still, no problem.
3) Later in my session, I went to create another new Smart Album, and this time I did so already in the Smart Album Selects folder. When I opened the HUD to select the keywords, the Keyword area and check box were greyed out!!! Weird, I though….so I simply duplicated an existing Smart Album from my Smart Album Selects folder, opened the HUD, and sure enough, all my keywords were there. I changed the keyword selection, and went on with work. During the day I did this same operation 3 more times, making 4 Smart Albums created the same way.
4) OK…here is the strange behavior. To make my new custom album from the Smart Album selects, I selected one of the Smart Albums, and clicked on the New Album icon. Got the expected dialog, make with 1 image or all images, selected all images, and instead of a new album popping up moments later, I got the SBOD, and the Activity Monitor said Aperture and my hard disk was cranking away. About 4-5 minutes later, Aperture became responsive again, and had created a new album. However, upon inspection, the album contained NEW VERSIONS of all the images that were in the Smart Album, about 600 files.
5) I went back and clicked on a different Smart Album in the same spot in the hierarchy…but it was one of the first ones I had created (meaning I built this BEFORE reorganizing into the Smart Album Selects folder). Tried making a new album again, with 1 image, worked fine, popped up instantly. Tried selecting 4 images, same thing, worked fine. Selected All, made album, worked fine.
6) Went back to the Smart Album I had the problem with, this time selected 4 images, make New Album, and sure enough the New Album had NEW VERSIONS of the pix again…OK, I went back to the top of my folder hierarchy, my “main” folder and made a brand new Smart Album by clicking the icon, and selecting keywords. Made a new album from that, no problem, popped up instantly, no new versions.
7) I then re-made all my Smart Albums at the top of the folder hierarchy, and they all work fine creating new albums. I got back to the task at hand…hopefully there is enough data here to let the Aperture engineers find this problem…Assuming, that is it is not just me misunderstanding some element in the program.
Sorry for the length, but has anyone else run into this??

Nope, all the images at this point in my workflow have been unstacked, with the non-picked members of the original stacks discarded.
Now that it seems I am not the only one who has witnessed this behavior, what I am really trying to find out, is what is the definitive proper operation of this according to the Aperture group at Apple.
Assuming I have opened a Smart Album with images displayed, and no images are selected.
Is the correct behavior:
1) Selecting New Album makes a new Untitled Album (very quickly) with the identical contents of the Smart Album....OR...
2) Selecting New Album makes a new Untitled Album (slowly) with NEW VERSIONS of the contents of the Smart Album. (Also, depending upon the number of images, typically brings up SBOD and makes Aperture unresponsive until it is complete.)
Now what I expected to happen was #1, as it is what happens when I select New Album when a project is selected. Given Apple's human interface creedo for intuitive operation, I think this is the most intuitive choice, because I can't think of a good reason I would want to double the number of versions of all files in an album, unless I expressly told the app to do this.
Could an Apple guy provide the definitive answer, please...
Thanks in advance for your help.

Binary file save - bug in lv8 for MAC ?

Hi,
Using LV8 on Mac OSX, I found a bug concerning binary file saving (attached file).
Write an array of double in a binary file. Read it back.
If you used little endian,ok. If you used Big-endian, result is wrong (but no error).
Could a mac user replicate ?

Just as an additional data point, everything works fine under Windows.
(As a workaround, have you tried flattening the data for writing? I don't have a MAC, so I cannot test.)

File association bug

I have an issue with PS6 and psd files and ID6 and indd files. If I try to open either, instead of launching in their respective default applications, they both try to open in Acrobat. This happens whether or not I do it from Bridge or Windows Explorer, or right clicking and using the open with command. Bridge associations are correctly listing psd to open in photoshop cs6 and ID to open indd files. I can't change the file associations in Windows "Default Programs" either, the change just doesn't stick. Looks like a bug. I should know better than to install the first release of Adobe Suits, they're always buggy and more hassle than their worth. Hope someone has found a reasonable solution and can help? I'm using Win 7 64 bit.
btw I did try Adobe support but spent 30 mins repeating myself and trying to understand the support guys Indian accent, his last ditch suggestion was to uninstall PS and then reinstall again. Given that I have a Creative Cloud subscription and a fairly slow adsl connection, it will be an overnight effort to download PS again to test. Given my situation, I though it was an unreasonable response to my problem and asked to speak to a supervisor, after waiting on hold for a further 10mins the call was terminated from their end - talk about frustrating!

No it doesn't unfortunately. One has to download an Adobe Application Manager app and then select which of the various apps one wants. The Application Manager handles everything and gives no options other than to install each app. When updates are available they are also shown here with an install option.
I guess I'll bite the bullet and do the overnight download. Thanks again for you help.
