Rescue & Recovery user interface does not open

I am using T400, few days ago, I used Rescue and Recovery program to make back up system, I wanted to save back up to external hard drive but I had put the location is C:\, after that I managed to cancel the process to modify the location in Preference of Rescue and Recovery program, but the process does not stop as I expected. Then, I used Task manager to stop the program, easily the program stop after few seconds. But from this time to now, when I start the program, the interface of program does not appear on screen, I try many ways to open it but all fail. I check in Task manager, the program running in a moment then it automatically end and disapear from task manager.
If anyone faced with this problem, please help me fix this. Thank you so much.

Uninstall then reinstall RNR. RNR does not like to be cancelled via task manager.... this creates a mess.
Reinstall may also fix your issue with productivity center..

How to design the user interface for Indesign cs6 plugin ?

Designing user interface using custom c++ library(SDK) for pluging is very tedious work .so when I search the net than i found that we can do it using Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder but i dont know how to use it to develop user interface for plugin and to how to enable event handling in this UI .I read lots of document regarding this on net but they all created lots of confusion in my mind so can anyone help me to know steps which i must follow to develop plugin using this or whatever technology (action script,java script etc)

If you want to develop Extensions using Creative Suite Extension builder then i think this is not the right forum for you. Please post your specific queries regarding this at the below mentioned link
http://forums.adobe.com/community/creativesuites/cs_sdk
To give a brief of how to develop UI using JS you can use ScriptUI to develop your UI, it is a fast and OS independent approach to UI development. The UI created using JS is native in look. You can refer the following link for some help on ScriptUI
http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/scriptui.html
I don't have much info regarding development in CS SDK, but i can point you to one more direction of dev called as hybrid plugins wherein the UI is created in CS SDK, and appropriate methods are exposed from the C++ plugin(enhancing the script object model) to be called up by the CS code for too and fro communication between these two modules of code.
Hope these pointer help you in getting started.

How much do you get paid annually for this job User Interface Designer?

how much do you get paid annually for this job User Interface Designer?

Apple probably will not discuss salaries even for specific jobs other than with applicants. If you wish to discuss salaries, you'll most likely have to apply for a specific position and then get beyond the initial screening.
This issue has nothing to do with Apple Remote Desktop, the topic of this forum, by the way.

Why hasn't Adobe navigation and user interface design improved as much as it could have over time?

I haven't tried CS6. I'm sure it's great based on what i've seen alone. But as a user of adobe products for a number of years, i have to noticed there are still a lot of stagnant,awkward, stiff, irriating, slowing down elements found in the navigation and user interface on cs3-cs5, that i'm sure could have been eliminated or improved on at least from 2005 or 2007 onwards. I find some of these things inexcusable and unprogressive from bad traits that defined 1980's and 1990's general computer navigation and so on.
CS5.5 has lessned this a bid bit and is more fluid in bits and pieces but for those using cs3-cs5 and in general, i find some things just horrid. As a graphic designer no one is supposed to admit the flaws or irrations of these programs. We must hail them as god, never critisize, and always adjust to new things which i think is a bit fascististic and silly
The way the tools, options are laid out can be improved to be quicker, and easier to find and use. Using your voice as a commanding system would be helpful as well.
A lot of cmds are too complex to remember, they can be simplier or resemble the name of the tool or option. Its makes a chore to follow this system and competition for the smart *** who memormized all the cmds.
The way in which you loose floating side boxes, and the amount of tools or names hidden in the bars sometimes seem random and its always a constant search to find them incase you forget where they are.
The inability to open cs4 or 5 files in cs3 is just beyond extremly annoying. Whey shouldn't you be able to open cs1 or 2 files or photoshop 9 files as well? Every five years work expires as well?
The layering system gets tricky and seems that a lot of things don't work when you normally move things. Its about going back, remembering and clicking on this or that, looking it up to make everything work. Sometimes which leaves you in a rut and wastes a good amount of time. You will always find this even after you've been using it for years.
The use of the fill paint/airbrushing, clone tool, lasso tool, pen tool, history being two steps back can be vastly improved to be much better to use
Masking and tools that have more complex features should find a way be automatically done or sampled. They can also have less complex steps and tha ability to be previewed, automatic or simpler ( in case you can't remember how to do something or aren't getting it)
A lot of the special effects, and blending modes are useless, outdated, super-ugly and don't resemble true darkroom effects ( such as polarization, and bas-relief for example) which they could much more vividly done. There also could be more options that are closer to repro cameras/CTP software for halftoning and more complex digital effects.
Having to press or get used to pressing muliple keys or clicks for the most basic things simultaneously can be reduced to be easier
Adjusting text, new documents, photos should have a smoother, quicker navigational experince where things a lot of room to be , clicked back, re-done, saved in the wrong place etc..
Indesign could use more shapes, include more features that illustrator has, and possibly even photoshop to save time.
There should be a way to remind you of features, complex things you've forgotten, other than history and daily usage/practice of the programs
The help should resemble more of "visual -learners" guide books with voice features.
There are a lot more
Regarding other things:
I think the price encorages more piracy and allows people to not have a concept of what is means to owning software.
The loss of a manual or lessening of them for certain programs is a loss because it's always useful to physical info you can flip through while looking at your program.
I think adobe should make entirely better products for professionals or people in the industry rather than spoonfeeding the same software to all.
They should also make less expensive add-ons like before for graphic software.
What do you adobe could have improved over time and if so what do you think they could have improved on?

CS5/CS4 GUI User Interface Design

I have always been very unimpressed with the user interface design on Adobe CS4. It's riddled with problems and changes that make no sense and offer no advantages.
For example, there is no longer a normal Windows title bar in many of the CS4 apps. This makes it much more difficult to maximize/restore applications since normally a Windows user could simply throw the mouse to the top edge of the screen and double click the title bar. In fact, doing this with CS4 apps has ZERO function (it doesn't do anything). One would think that by moving the menu commands to the top bar of the window chrome, Adobe would make these menus accessible from the top-most edge of the screen in order to increase usability. Unfortunately this is not so and clicking the top most edge of a maximized window does nothing.
Two other very important parts of an application user interface are the upper left and upper right corners. Normally when a Windows application is maximized, throwing your pointer to the upper right corner and clicking will close the application. Throwing the pointer to the upper left corner and clicking will reveal the application window menu. This happens in ALL applications... EXCEPT for Adobe CS4 programs. These two extremely important application window command locations have been completely disabled in Adobe CS4 apps. Clicking the upper most corner pixels in a maximized Adobe CS4 app does nothing.
Then there's the tabbed document window interface. If you float a document window and maximize that, normally you would expect it to become maximized within the application window as it should. Au contraire, in Adobe CS4, the document window maximizes itself ON TOP OF the application window, thus obscuring and disabling any access to the application window's tools/commands. I did report that as a bug during beta, but obviously it was ignored. Seems kind of obvious to me that the fact that a user could accidentally make the entire application completely unusable by maximizing a document window might be a problem.
It still alludes me as to why Adobe changed the CS4 user interface to something that breaks so many Windows UI conventions. Adobe CS3 was a practically perfect user interface design on Windows. It was very customizable, all of the normal Windows functions were properly in place.
What's the deal with the change?
I thought maybe the file menu was moved in place of the title bar in order to make more room for other UI elements, but it's actually pretty much the same size as the old file menu title bar combination in CS3.
With all these changes and with all the functionality losses, what exactly have we gained in the CS4 GUI? Seriously, I'm asking.
Anyway, I hope Adobe starts reading the Windows User Experience Guidelines (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511331.aspx) and brings CS5 back to the way a Windows application should behave. Proper theme adherence would be nice too.
Which brings me to Windows 7. I love love love the way Windows 7 groups application document previews in one taskbar icon and allows aero-peek for open windows. Adobe CS 4 obviously does not support this since it does not have normal document windows. I hope CS5 does because it is a great feature. I also hope Adobe CS5 implements the Windows 7 jumplists and maybe even a more touch/multi-touch friendly interface. I've become pretty good at processing photos in Bridge using the touchscreen, and it's very cool, but it could use some improvements.
For an example of great user interface design, has anyone tried Office 2010 on Windows 7 yet? http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090512/screencaps-office-2010-technical-preview-teched- 2009-keynote/
The faded transparent title bar and tabbed ribbon interface is absolutely gorgeous.

@Adam:
I agree with your comments! So well said!
And there are other issues, too -- by the color of the app window, you don't know if the window is active or inactive (focus or not in focus). Titles of panels which are inactive, are dark text over dark background -- hardly readable at all... And many more.
I really hope Adobe are listening...

Graphical User Interface Library

I begin to develop a graphical user interface (which can be an applet or an application) whose main purpose is to display graph with nodes. I would like to use a powerfull graphical user interface library (even not free) but I don't know any. Someone's got an idea ?

Good god my writing is awfu! edit:
When something slows down a programme then in most cases algorithms are the source for the lag, try using better designed algorithms using less iterative content if you want some fast programmes.
Anyways concerning portablility and avalability on the internet there is always a price you pay and in most cases the price is speed.
Another concern is when using third-party libraries with Applets most users will have to download these to run your Applet, which of course takes it's time.
Maybe you want to think about your position against AWT and Swing - I don't want to promote them in any way - but speaking of applets there is nothing that I know could circumvent additional downloads.

Safari graphical user interface poor quality on Macbook Pro Retina

I’ve noticed that the Safari graphical user interface quality is not good on my Macbook Pro Retina display. Although it has been optimized for Retina displays I keep seeing strange artifacts or glitches from time to time, while this one is persistent, check out the dark stripe behind the bookmarks toolbar : https://www.dropbox.com/s/pa7zizpbi7vdx41/Screen%20Shot%202013-04-21%20at%2012.5 6.11%20PM.png (if the link doesn’t open on click just do the right click - open in new tab) There are also same “spots” on toolbar buttons (bookmark folders) as well, but they are a bit harder to discern.
I don’t think it is a graphic card or display issue since almost all of retina-ready apps work just fine (I have replaced my LG with a Samsung screen, btw).
I wonder does anybody have the same experience with Safari? And if so, has anyone managed to solve the issue?

Try creating a brand new account (in System Preferences -> Users & Groups) and test there.
Tried. The same.
I don't actually have a retina machine, but I see no reason for this to be related to the fact that you have a retina MBP. Unless you have information that suggests it is present on other similar machines...?
At first I thought that it was just on the Retina, but then I really looked into my external monitor and saw it — looking at it right now. It seems to me that when Always show tab bar is ON the space between Bookmarks bar and the tab is sloppy sliced.
The hDPI screen reveals the graphic irregularities from regular DPI screens without a problem.
The reason I posted this here is because I saw many people are having glitches, artifacts and flickers with Safari (on Retina).

Extension user interface design

Hi all,
I'm looking into how Adobe can help developers make their extensions look better integrated with the Creative Suite.
Probably the most common request we've heard in the past is for an improved Creative Suite Flex theme SWC.
Do you have any further thoughts/feature requests in this area?
I would be particularly interested to know whether you use CSXSLibrary to get the host application's skin information. If you do, does the API provide sufficient information to customise your extension's appearance effectively? If not, is there anything you'd like to see changed in the API for it to be useful to you? Here are the classes currently available:
AppSkinInfo - accessible through CSXSInterface.getHostEnvironment()
AppReskinEvent - dispatched when a CS app changes its appearance.
All feedback much appreciated.
Thanks
David.

The intention is to make the preloader (that's the generic loading bar that displays for a few seconds when the panel first opens) for your extension to be completely invisible.
That will make it take the colour of the content behind it, which is the default panel colour for the application. You could also change the colour of the preloader, to match the eventual one of the panel, or you could create your own preloader SWF.
You can find more information on preloaders for Flex 3 at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=app_container_4.html and a tutorial on creating your own at http://www.leebrimelow.com/?p=916

Looking for suggestions to create a graphical user interface. Swing?

Hi there,
I am considering developing this as a side-project, therefore wish to know how much work will be involved (ie. if I have time to complete it).
The situation. I have an online game that I play. It allows access to data using text files,that are updated on an hourly basis. These text files are generally a number of MB in size (containing details for players: Id, name, tribe, score, and other ranking-related data). I wish to access these text files, then - using the data contained within them - create a graphical map-like interface.
Features of the map:
- scrolling (or changing view in some other way)
- tool-tips when highlighting over certain elements?
- contains graphics, located on a web server (or I can easily download these to use locally)
Questions:
(1) Am I able to run background processes in some way, on a Windows machine, to automatically update the data?
(2) Would it be best to save objects to a file - then load them when the program is run, or actually save the data to a local database? What DBMS do you recommend, and what classes should I look at to find out more about interacting with databases?
(3) I have not written a graphical-based application before using Java. I have heard a little about Swing. Is this the only GUI designer I should look in to, or are there others? Please give me names, I can start researching from there. The GUI would need to support something similar to the map I described above.
If you require more information, let me know. As far as I know I am not allowed to post the link to the game here, however if you need to have a look at it to understand the problem I will do so.

shano

When you say "map" do you mean a map in the "traditional" sense - with cities and land and such?

(2) Would it be best to save objects to a file - then load them when the program is run, or actually save the data to a local database? What DBMS do you recommend, and what classes should I look at to find out more about interacting with databases?It depends - are you just loading these objects into main memory when you fire up your program? If so, serializing them out to a file is find. If you're going to be doing queries and updates while your program is running then using a DB would likely be a Good Thing. Check out [hypersonic |http://hsqldb.org/] and the [JDBC tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/]
(3) I have not written a graphical-based application before using Java. I have heard a little about Swing. Is this the only GUI designer I should look in to, or are there others? Please give me names, I can start researching from there. The GUI would need to support something similar to the map I described above.Swing is a set of GUI components, not a GUI designer. There are others (SWT comes to mind). Google can likely help you out more than I can. I suspect most GUI widget sets will supply a "blank" component that you can paint your map on.

If you require more information, let me know. As far as I know I am not allowed to post the link to the game here, however if you need to have a look at it to understand the problem I will do so.
