Find / Replace window STOP autopaste

Arrgghh.... I could not find a preference setting to Turn Off
the auto-pasting of the <current selection> into the Find
field of the window, and the clearing of the Replace field. This is
really obnoxious...
Help!

Thanks! Looking in the preferences led me to the answer to the problem: I opened up the XML file and found that findAndReplace was put in an odd TabPane for some reason:
        <TabGroup5>
          <activeChild>findAndReplace</activeChild>
          <parentName>Tabpane13</parentName>
          <visible>false</visible>
        </TabGroup5>
I changed the parentName to Tabpane0 and the window appears now. Much obliged!

Find/replace window in Mac OS - how to attach to main document window?

At work I use Windows and the find/replace window is part of the main document window. At home, I use Mac OS and the find/replace window is a separate floating window which is annoying because it means I'm constantly dragging it out of my way...is there a way to attach it to the the main document window on Mac ?

It works! Thank you. The strange thing is, I already had a check mark on it, but I unchecked it and then rechecked it and it worked.
BTW, I've not visited this forum for quite a while. It was difficult to find my way to the InDesign Discussions. There's so much stuff in between logging on to Adobe Forums and getting to this location. I consider the changes a huge step backward. I realize that you're probably not involved in it, but I hope someone who is sees this feedback about the forum layout. Fortunately, it's only a one-time problem. I've made a new bookmark for this forum.

Find & Replace window missing in Toolkit CS5

Hello--
I just started using Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5 after installing Photoshop CS5, and ran into a strange problem: the Find & Replace menu option and key command do not function correctly, in that I cannot access Find at all. The Find / Find Results window does not appear, and I cannot get the window to appear by selecting the option in the Windows tool menu either. This works just fine in Toolkit CS4, and is very frustrating to deal with as I am trying to update my scripts to CS5, but have to do so in the CS4 Toolkit because I can't use the Find functionality.
I've already searched the forums and google high and low for this problem, but no else seems to have posted about it. I've already tried restarting and uninstalling / installing CS5 and all related tools. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Bizarre TOC bug from Find & Replace window

Just sharing really and not even a complaint - I've reported the bug - but this explains a previous loss of data I could never explain, and I thought it might help someone. RH9, Windows 7
1. Find and Replace in Files
2. Add a search term
3. Decide you've mistyped the search term
4. Try to edit the search term pressing Delete on the offending character
5. The field has lost focus and won't delete (it gets focus when you start typing a new character)
6. Look over to your left at the TOC window (if showing)
7. Your TOC entries are gradually disappearing as you repeatedly press Delete in frustration
8. DON'T save your project!

LOL, isn't that always the case? Sort of like the "critical need" sensor built into every PC. It senses you really need something and promptly crashes and refuses to come back until the time of need has passed. Then, of course it resumes operation as if nothing was ever wrong!

Is there a way to use the find/replace tool to select the actual step in the TestStand sequence instead of just listing matching values in the find window?

The purpose of this is to be able to select many steps that are scattered throughout a sequence so I can change the step type one time. I could do this now, but it would take me 30 minutes to click through the sequence and select all of the steps before I'd even change the step type because there are different steps inbetween the ones I want to select. I wouldn't be able to just use the shift key to select multiple steps because of that. I have about 500 steps I need to select, so it would be worth it to find an automated way to do that.
Unless there's a way to change a step type from a numericlimittest to an action step type from the find/replace window???

I ended up using ActiveX calls in TestStand to find the steps I wanted and change the step type to Action. See attached example sequence.

Find & Replace problem

I have a number in a cell formula. When I search for the number with Find, it is not found. I opened the Find & Replace window and select Formulas Only and the number is found. When I select Entire Document the number is only found if the formula is open on the sheet. I would think that Entire Document would include formulas, even if they aren't open at the time. Anyone else had this problem or know a solution? I am using v2.0.3(332).

I think it is Entire Document as opposed to Current Sheet Only, neither of which look in formulas. What you are wanting is a separate setting for Exclude Formulas, Include Formulas, or Formulas Only. That sounds like it would be useful. If you would like to suggest this to Apple, in the Numbers menu is a selection for Provide Numbers Feedback.

Find/Replace highlights the wrong code

Hi, when using the normal Find and search for specific text in my AS3 class file, it highlights the right position where it found the matching text, but when I use the Find/Replace it totally messes up, it highlights the wrong text in my code, but it displays the right position in the Find/Replace window. Is there a way to fix that, or is this a known bug? See attached screenshot.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing the file.
The issue is with the End of Line(EOL) character. The file uses CR notation for its EOL and was used in Mac OS version upto 9 and in Mac OS 9. When a file is created using any of those versions of Mac OS then the EOL character would be CR which is obsolete now and is not recognized by many modern text editors.
If the EOL is LF or CR|LF then the Find and Replace will work as expected in Flash CC.
You can change the EOL of the file by opening and saving the file in Wordpad which will change the EOL to CR|LF.
Hope this information will help resolve your issue.
Thanks!

Find/Replace Missing With New Monitor

Hi,
I've been happily using DW CS4 for about a year now with 2 19" monitors. I recently am stuck using a single 22" monitor which is generally fine, but my Find/Replace window is now missing. I'm assuming it is off somewhere in the 'virtual' screen. How do I get it -back-? I tried resetting the workspace but although it brings together most of the windows, I do -not- see Find/Replace. (I -can- however see the Find/Replace results pane).
Ideas?
TIA.
---JC

Anyone? Driving me -nuts- not having a 'find' window!
I can see the Search -Results- pane, but not the window where one types in the text to 'find'.
Help!

Stop Find/Replace syncing between different apps

Hi all,
I was wondering if there was any way to stop the Find/Replace function in some apps from syncing their search terms between each other.
My problem:
= Lets say I have Pages and TextEdit open and search for "tree" in Pages.
= When I go over to TextEdit and do a command+F, the search window will automatically have the word "tree" populated in the search term field.
= When I search for "shrub" in TextEdit and go back to Pages, the search term field in Pages gets filled in with "shrub" even though I still wanted to continue my search on "tree."
So far I've seen this happen between any combination of Pages, TextEdit, Numbers, and Safari. Is there any way that I can stop these apps from syncing their search terms between each other?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hipsig

It behave the same in 10.4.11.
The Search / Replace dialog used by every app is based on a tool delivered by Apple in the resources which apps may use so, an entry made in the dialog of apply A appear in the dialog of appli B. It may appear in more.
Look at these screenshots.
The first three share the same string to search.
They are from apps designed as word processor.
The two other share an other value.
They are from apps designed for developers.
It show us that there are two sets of tools used for the Search / Replace feature, both of them sharing datas between the applications.
Maybe this feature may be used for interesting things.
In the operating system, we have only one clipboard but thanks to the described feature, we may pass three strings between two operations with a single switch task.
It suffice
to fill the Search field,
to fill the Replace field
to fill the clipboard
from the source document.
Then in the target document,
paste the clipboard in the target doc,
grab the content of the Replace field an paste it in the target doc
grab the content of the Search field and paste in the target document.
So, what you describes as anannoying feature which end users like me and you can't change, may be described as an interesting and useful feature.
Just a matter of point of view (or of philosophy : I see the positive side, you see the negative one).

Dumb Q: problem with Find And Replace window in Flash 8

Dear Flash Group,
apologies if this is trivial, it's my first day using Flash.
I downloaded a Flash project from
http://www.flashorb.com/articles/benchmark_files/flash-benchmark.zip.
This
flash calls into a web service at localhost:8080. I used the
'Find and
Replace' window within Flash Professional 8 to locate the
string
'localhost:8080' and replaced it with plain 'localhost'.
However, when I 'Debug the Movie' (Ctrl-Shift-Enter), it
still tries to
access port 8080! Obsiously, my replace command did not do
what I thought it
would do. I opened the FLA file in a binary editor, and saw 4
more
references to 8080, One if them in 'Properties' of a
WebServicesConnector,
but I cannot figure out how to find the other occurences.
Checking on google, I see lots of people having similar
problems, but no
solutions
Any ideas?
Regards, /george
PS. What do you guys do for code completion - is there a tool
that would
bring Flash on par with an professional IDE?

Agreed.

Might they be the result of that WebServicesConnector
reference?
> Checking on google, I see lots of people having

That's really odd, actually. I'm on these boards every day,
and I've
never heard of this issue. I don't *think* the Find/Replace
dialog visits
panel contents, such as the Component Inspector panel, but I
wouldn't swear
to that.
> What do you guys do for code completion - is there
> a tool that would bring Flash on par with an
professional IDE?
Well, Flash is a professional IDE, of course. By definition,
if you pay
for something, you have acquired a professional product or
service. I know
what you mean, though. Flash itself rocks, but the Actions
panel can be
glaringly weak. Personally, I use SE|PY to edit ActionScript.

Possible to dock "Find and Replace" Window?

Is it possible to group the "Find and Replace" window in one
of the panels? I would prefer to have it at the bottom of my
workspace with Properties and Results.
Thanks!

It is indeed possible, providing whatever text is inside a tag of some sort. It could be in a list, heading, paragraph, div, etc... Use the Search: Specific Tag option. See screenshot (excuse the sloppy image).

Windows stops responding and closes when I try to print

I have IE 9 on a vista 64 bit. Recently I had some problems with print jobs staying in the que. I resolved that and reinstalled the printer and drivers. I have a photosmart 5514. Ever since that day I can't print off a webpage. Coupons, bank statements etc. It says windows stopped responding and closes the webpage. I have been unable to fix this. Also since that day my microsoft works wont' work. It says I have corrupted fonts!

It is a wireless connection. What happened first after a year of flawless performance was I was asked to print a statement from my banks website. I tried several times and it kept shutting down with the windows error above. I was unable to print anything from that moment on. I spent half the day finding the problem and discovered my WP network key was changed. I have no idea how trying to print from the banks site did that. I called them to report the situation since it was so strange. Even asked them if they knew what that number even was. I still had issued so I just uninstalled the printer and used my installation disc to set it up again. Now I can print off my documents, PDF or Word but my Works files come up with the message that the font cache is missing or renamed. When I searched that I found it isn't uncommon and that it is usually a corrupted printer driver. I loaded it off my CD from HP. Not sure what to do now other than try to uninstall and reinstall. Just haven't had a time with work to do that yet. Also when I try to print off an email, webpage or even a coupon it does the windows has to shut down message. This will be my last HP printer. I have problems all the time with them and have owned nothing but HP for over 20 years. Four computers and printers in the house right now. I just can't deal with que issues and buying new printers every two years because I have a home office and must have it working.

Blue screen, Windows stopped working, BC code 50

I did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, on my vista laptop.
I have had two blue screens in the past week, stating windows stopped working here are the details:
BC code - 50
BCp1 - 80024114
BCP2 - 0000000
BCP3 - 9850ED3A
BcP4 - 0000000
OS Version 6_1_71
Service pack 1_0
Product 768_1
Can you help me with where the source of the problem is?

We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
We prefer at least 2 DMP files to spot trends and confirm the cause.
Please follow our instructions for finding and uploading the files we need to help you fix your computer. They can be found here

When i cancel one dvd recording the windows stop answering....

... And the dvd dissapear..... FOREVER!
I Tryed this:
-Click on the cancel button -Then the window stop answering and didnt even stop recording my dvd-
-Reinit the finder... NO WAY. Do not run
-Force the end of the finder process... NO WAY... Do not run
-Reinit the computer....Well then the dvd is not there!!!!!! on the finder!
I wonder how can i "mount" the dvd when is not visible on the finder
Now i think you can access the unit with the disks utility... but this is one "arcane" place to find your dvd... I am sure many users never ever opened that tool
Can i mount the dvd from the UNIX shell? -sh-. Anyway this is not a good solution for the average user BUT COULD be ok for me
... And reinit the computer is not a "nice way" as well
Thank you for reading my long post
