Fireworks 8 Mac quits during text editing

My FW 8 quits whenever I try to change font. I have a version
8.0.0.077. As far as I know this is the latest in version 8.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem? I have reduced the
number of fonts that is open in Font Book, so that FW 8 won't get a
panick attack by too many fonts. But it doesn't seem like it is
fixing the problem.

I had the same amazingly annoying problem. Sometimes it took
down my entire system. I downloaded and ran a little program called
Font Nuke, deleting the Adobe font cache files. Haven't crashed
since.

hi,
I also have had many many problems with SL and the latest Final Cut Studio, many of them with fonts. I have been through all my fonts with Font Book and disabled a whole bunch of them. For me Motion 4 had problems with non standard fonts. It might even have been a problem with double byte fonts, who knows? I've just installed 10.6.3 and the fcs updates. I havent done anything major with it yet, but a very quick test showed that the usual lag when using motion projects on an fcp timeline have been fixed. Yaaayyyy! So not much help to you, but i think some of the issues can't be fixed without a full wipe clean and resore of the whole system, or hopefully a well targeted update.

How can labview update the string control (text-edit box) after we have pressed the carriage return key on the keyboard during text-editing within that box?

Dear readers,
I have been trying to work out how to get labview to detect the event when a 'string' control has been modified, where the user has finished editing the string either by 1) pressing the enter key on the keyboard, or by 2) taking the focus away from the string control again. For example.. if I use the mouse to click on the string control and then I type 1234 into the box, I would like to have a routine that does something once the user hits the Enter key of the keyboard, or when the user takes the focus away from the string control again by clicking on something else. I would like the routine to respond even when the user didn't change anything in the text box (such as when we mouse-click on the edit box to go into edit mode, and then mouse-click on something else to remove the focus with no changes to the contents in edit-box).
The purpose of my routine is to have a edit-box for a user to change for example the centre-frequency of a vector network analyser, so that the centre-frequency of the network analyser can change once the user finishes entering a new value in the text-edit box by hitting Enter key after the number is keyed in. Even if the user has clicked on the edit box, but changes their mind by mouse-clicking on something else to remove focus from the edit box, I would still like labview to detect the event when the control loses focus, so that the centre frequency can be updated anyway (to the same value that was already in the edit box).
So far, I've tried set the string control option to 'limit to single line', so that I can try to scan for a carriage return .. '\n' ... pattern in the string. Unfortunately this doesn't work because labview doesn't seem to attach the '\n' to the end of that single line.
Could someone please suggest ways to set a flag when a user hits Enter during text-edit mode of a string control, or when focus has been removed from the string control?
While I've only described my problem for controlling a single control parameter on the gpib device, I'd like to make this feature work so that I can do the same kind of thing with other control parameters as well.
Thanks so much in advance.
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
instead of using the event structure, you can directly achieve to what you want by the KeyFocus property of the string control.
- Enable Limit to single line option
- Create the property KeyFocus in read mode and connect an indicator
Each time you click on the string to modify it KeyFocus is True; when you click away or hit Enter KeyFocus is False.
You can toggle your settings when KeyFocus changes from True to False.

Change background color during text edit mode

THis is a wacky problem...
I have a presentation template. The slide master has white copy in the title and black copy in the body/bulleted list.
When I try to use the template and edit the title copy, the background color for editing that line is white, just like the text, so I can't see what I'm typing. I can't figure out how to change the background color during text edit mode so that I can actually see what I'm typing. Is there a way to make this transparent?
For some reason, the body copy edit works fine: black text edited in either a white or transparent background color.
help!

Text Edit application for Mac Mini 10.4.11

I am not sure if everyone is familiar with my "Mac Mini Saga", ( BDAqua certainly is! - by the way, congratulations for passing the 11000 mark! ).
Now that the Mini is finally updated to 10.4.11,(without the original install discs), so that the elderly lady owner can use Skype, she would also like "my" Text Edit app. which is not listed in her apps. - i was told it should be there, but it is not!
Looking at the details of this app on my iMac (version 1.5, 22.1 MB on disc), under File, i have the option: "Burn Text Edit to Disc". So, is it possible to include (transfer) this app. to her Mini after i copy it to a disc?

Not exactly similar, this text editor and writing tool can do several things;
and it (may still) runs free. I have a version of it.
• Text Wrangler: powerful general purpose text editor...
http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/
The original Text Edit, part of the System's original apps package, is more
integrated with the original system installation; and should not be missing.
However, you can choose to have another similar app as default to open
or work with similar types of files.
And for more office-like apps, there's a 'free running' donation-ware suite:
• Neo Office:
http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php
Text Edit version 1.4 from about 2005 (or so) should be what OS X 10.4.11
would have included in the installer and then on the computer in question.
The app is about 8.5MB, and may require the installer to place it correctly.
You may look into the OS X 10.4.x Install DVD for Tiger and use Pacifist
utility to look for and see if you can find the package in there, and extract
it via Pacifist; then install Text Edit from the desktop via this utility. It will
work in a demo mode, so you don't have to buy it, to try it out. It works.
• CharlesSoft - Pacifist:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
There is no reason why the original TextEdit would not be in Tiger 10.4.
Unless some files were corrupted at a point during installation process.
Good luck & happy computing!

Since I don't know what a lot of these crash reports really mean I can only guess. However I see it reporting MyBook on a USB port. FCP wants firewire for external drives.
Try that, repairing permissions and resetting FCP prefs tho I suspect it's the drives on USB. try that first

Force Quitting Text Edit

Just spent hours gathering info on a Text Edit doc and now I have the endless rainbow (SBOD: Spinning Beachball of Death) icon. If I force quit, will I lose the doc -- I don't think I saved it!!

Hi, Dapple.
You wrote: "If I force quit, will I lose the doc -- I don't think I saved it!!"Yes, if you didn't save it. EVen then, changes made since the last save may be lost.
Unfortunately, TextEdit does not have an "auto-save" feature and if the TextEdit's Dock icon's contextual menu shows that it is "not responding" then you have no choice but to Force Quit TextEdit.
One should always periodically save documents they are editing, or configure the auto-save preferences of their applications, if any, to avoid such problems.
You might try some of the advice in my "Data Recovery" FAQ to see if any remnants of it can be recovered from disk, but I hold little hope for that.
If you want to look for an alternative to TextEdit, try Tex-Edit Plus. It is personal favorite for text editing: inexpensive shareware that has superb support and outstanding development. You can also configure its preferences to automatically save changes to a document at regular intervals once you have performed a first save of the document.
Good luck!

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks.

Fireworks -- PDF for print, keeping editable text?

I'm trying to print flyers (to PDF) that i've designed in
Fireworks. I'm happy with the images, colors, etc., however, the
text also exports as an image. I'd like to be able to export the
text as text so that when a viewer zooms in on the pdf, the text
does not become grainy. Also, the physical printing of the text
would look much more clear. I'm sure there are proper terms that
i'm not using, but i hope that someone more experienced than me is
reading! Just trying to keep the text "editable" when printing to
PDF from Fireworks. Any input would be appreciated. THanks! (BTW,
going through Photoshop won't work because it changes the text
layout too much.)
thanks again,
matt

In addition to Linda's comments, you can save your Fireworks
.png as an
Illustrator 7 .ai file. Then import that to Freehand or
Illustrator (if
you have them). Most of your design will remain intact and
you might not
have to start from scratch.
I just did that on my pc but, unfortunately, the text is what
imported
the worst.

Seeking: Compatible text editing application for iPad/Mac/Windowsystem

Hi,
I am trying to locate a useful text editing app.
That is compatible to be used across iPad/Mac and sometimes on a Windows based Laptop.
I have been using both openoffice, and Textedit(Mac). Which I am using through USD Disk but Openoffice documents dont work on iPad, and as to Textedit documents dont appear on iPad as on my Mac!
Anyone, using a Textediting app on their Mac, that makes the document appear exactly the same as on their Ipad?
At this stage I would prefer an app that is for free, to play around with...

I have been trying several of the documents text editing applications! But most are not compatible across i.e. iPad, Mac, Windows-systems.
As I indicated I have converted an "openoffice" edited text into Mac's "Textedit" application everything looked simple and great on my Mac. But, on my iPad the documents didnt look identical. Also, wasnt fitting the iPad screen either, and most lines jumped few lines up or down, pictures were dislocated...
In case you know an text edit application, that is able to make documents look exactly the same as they look across iPad / Mac / Windows. In that case I would very much appreciate if you could name me that application!

Text Edits Opens Whenever I Try To Open A Disk On My Mac

I have a MacBookAir 10.9.4, and every time I install a disk ( for example; Digital Editions 4.0 Installer.pkg) and try to open it, it opens with Text Edit, and that gets me confused, so how am I suppose to change that?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A file dialog should appear. Select the package you want to install, then press return.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Can't open document using Word or Text Edit

I couldn't find a specific topic so I'm posting this here. I just got a new white macbook and transferred some word documents to it. I was out of town and realized I'd forgotten to load the Word program, so I opened a couple of documents using Text Edit and saved them as new documents. One document opened without issue, but the other document won't open with either Text Edit or MS Word 2004. When I try to open it in Word the message states it cannot be opened and may or may not be a valid word document. When I try to open in TextEdit the message states that the document is not in the right format. Please help -- I really don't want to have to re-create the document as it is about 12 pages!
Thanks, Sandy

There are 2 unusual options in File, Open in the Windows version of Word (sorry, I'm on a Mac without Word). One is something like Recover Text From Any Format, and the other is Open and Repair. One I think is on a drop down menu in the Open screen. I'm not sure if these are available on the Mac version, but it's worth a try! Also: do you have all the proper converters set up? I have Word 2004 for Mac running on one machine, a legal copy, and I was able to do updates and even get a free conversion program that actually backward converts Word 2007 for Windows and Word 2008 for Mac files down to Word for Mac 2004. It's worked quite will. I support Word on Macs and Windows at work and have used that conversion utility to great advantage when we had users call with Word docs that wouldn't open. Good luck!

Text edit app not working after Secupdate 007

Pismo running 10.3.9 showing issues with textedit application which worked fine prior to update.
When attempting to open an existing .txt file the beach ball spins for awhile and then does nothing. Finder window stays in front. When running through the dock, it shows textedit open, but textedit will not appear in menu bar.
I thought it might just be prior documents. After force quitting, I can open text edit app on its own with a new page showing. I can type in it, but when I attempt to save, the same issue shows. It just hangs.
Ran applejack and
I trashed textedit.plist thinking corrupted, but to no avail.
Any ideas on how to get this going?
Thanks!

Hanuman,
If you have cleaned all the possible cache files with AppleJack (plus run the other functions), one possible fix for problems that develop after a Security Update or OSX version update is to download/install the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update on top of your installed 10.3.9.

If you don't have another User account, create one named 'Test' if you wish, then log into the 'Test' account. If TextEdit works normally, then you know your problem lies in your Home account. A quick and dirty test for solving some problems in your Home account is to go to your Home account <yourusername>/Library and drag the Preferences folder to the desktop, then log out/in to your Home account and see if the problem is resolved. If corrected, the problem lies in the Preferences folder on the desktop. Most prefs will be re-created as you use the computer, but save the old Preferences folder in the event there is one or more pref that you want to stick back in the new Prefs folder.

Feature Request: Please fix text editing

Hi there great Adobe Team!
I am usign your product for rapid web prototyping. Often times ontop of my interface drawing, I use the text tool to write some text, and then put a nice colored background box behind it.
The problem I am facing is this:
It seams you have mapped the control-left and control-right keys to change the spacing of the letters. Unfortunately, this is a common mapping used in windows to jump to the next word!
Your current key mapping assignment makes text editing quite troublesome!!!
Can you please change these key maps in your next update?
Thanks very much
Sincerely yours,
a developer that uses Fireworks and Adobe Cloud everyday!

TokyoFire,
Hi! This is a user-to-user forum. I recommend that you submit your feature request directly to Adobe using their official Feature Request and Bug Report Submission form:

For future reference, it is possible to change many of the keyboard shortcuts in Fireworks using the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog (under Fireworks > Keyboard Shortcuts). Here, you can choose from several different sets or create your own customized set. Within each set, there are three categories: Menu Commands, Tools, and Miscellaneous.
Unfortunately, none of these categories seems to include the shortcut to which you're referring (for text kerning). To expand upon your suggestion, I'd recommend that Adobe consider adding this missing shortcut to the Miscellaneous category, or create a new category called Text, where users can access and modify this and any other missing, text-oriented keyboard shortcuts.
