Import and Open File options freeze up

When I click any Import option (Word, HTM, merge XPJ), the browser window does not open to allow me to select files. This happens on ALL import options.
The RoboHelp screen freezes up and I get an error sound when I click any other option. This requires me to press ESC in order to continue.
The same error occurs when I use the Open file option from the RoboHelp started. If I use Windows Explorer to browse to the project, I can open it. If I click Open file, I get the same screen freeze-up and no browser.
I am working via VPN. The Import works fine when I'm connected to the enterprise server in the office.
Is there an option or setting I can select to enable the Open file, Import > Word, Import > HTM or merge options via VPN? I've tried several different log-in options and reviewed by Windows file set-up and security. I'm totally stuck.
I am using Office 2010 and RoboHelp 10; our office uses Subversion, but the files are checked out properly.
As I said, I can import from the office when connected to the network.
Has anyone experienced this before?

Hi there
Maybe it's that the window is in an area that can't be displayed!
Try this. When the window does not appear, press and hold the Windows logo key, then press perhaps the left arrow key a couple of times. See if the window is maybe hidden and pops into view.
Cheers... Rick

How to import and open files in fcpx?

the files i was able to import from my hard drive (from p2 off panasonic hvx 200 camcorder) open in fcpx in bad quality (they are fuzzy), so i cannot edit them. what shall i do?

We use P2 all the time, and recently sold an HVX-200, shooting with an HPX-170 and 7D now. We've never had image quality issues with P2.
Be sure you're going to the Import Camera Archive method to import P2 clips. If they are fuzzy, they are fuzzy, FCP X doesn't change the image quality. Remember that the tiny LCD on those P2 cameras don't really show enough detail to judge stuff like detailed image quality.
Import the clips into FCP X, they'll become ProRes clips. Open those into QuickTime Player, and if it's fuzzy there, then that's how they were shot. If they are clear there, check the Playback Quality setting in FCP X's preferences.

Can I import and open raw files on the new photo app?

Hi,
Can I import and open raw files on the new photos app on my ipad? Does it convert it to jpeg automatically when you want to share them?
Thanks.

Clem is telling you to click on the View menu, move the pointer down to the item "Metadata," & from its choices make sure "Show Titles" is selected. Do this, then make sure you are in a view in the main window that shows one or more videos (or whatever) that you want to title. Click once on one of them, & if the separate Info window is not open, open that (on the Windows menu or command + i as a keyboard shortcut). In the Info window the top line will be "Add a Title."
Click once on that & type your title.
This works for any item, video or photo.

Illustrator CS3 Import and Export File Format list?

Hello,
Has anyone typed up an updated supported import and export file format list for CS3? I used to reference a support knowledgebase document, 1001741, (no longer on Adobe's site) that showed the majority of file formats and versions that Illustrator was able to import. I searched all over and couldn't find one, then called support and they confirmed they no longer had a list like that available--they had split the import options into separate lists--like what versions of Photoshop files, what versions of .eps files, .tiff files etc. Illustrator CS3 could open.
The reason I was looking because I wanted to see what version Corel file CS3 could open after I was not able to open a customer's v.12 .cdr file.
Thanks,
Rick H.

I am pretty sure that the last supported version of Corel that AI can open is version 10.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link

Freeze during column view in finder and open file box?

Whenever I open a file and the open file dialog box is in column view it freezes when I click on the file and the view shifts to reveal the icon and info. It happens a lot in finder too, but not as often. It usually doesn't start happening for a few minutes after I reboot.
I'm pretty sure quicktime is associated with that icon/image preview. I just formatted my hard drive hoping that would help but it doesn't. I have to force quit applications alot if I forget to get out of column view...someone please help!
I don't remember this happening before I installed macromedia studio 8, but I'm not sure. I have to use those programs.

Copy and open files on local filesystem?

Hello,
For a change request, I have a rather tricky requirement. Suppose each user of the application always has a mapped network drive to a server, let's say drive "k:\", pointing to "\\servername\someDirectory\docs". This folder contains a lot of Word (.doc) files. What the customer wants is a button in the application that copies one or more documents from the "k:\" drive to a local folder, and opens them in Word. The reason the files have to be copied to the local file system is that opening them on the server would result in a read-only copy, whereas the users should be able to edit the opened version.
So the user is in the adf application, clicks a button, and then one or more word documents should be opened. These documents should be local copies of the documents in the "k:\" drive. The location where to put the local copies can be easily determined, the path(s?) of the relevant document(s?) on the "k:\" drive is known, and the location of MS Word / Office can also be determined. So I have at my disposal for example following Strings:
tmpDir = "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\"
serverDir = "\\servername\someDirectory\docs\"
doc1 = "doc1.doc"
doc2 = "doc2.doc"
doc3 = "doc3.doc"
wordLocation = c:\program files\microsoft office\office10In the current Forms application, there is a button that uses WebUtil to:
<ul>
<li>Creates an empty .bat file on the local file system (eg C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp, determined by the tmpDir String)</li>
<li>In this bat file, there are one ore more copy commands added, to copy the doc files from the server to the local Temp dir:
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc1.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc2.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc3.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Tempor in other words:
copy serverDir || doc1 tmpDir
copy serverDir || doc2 tmpDir
copy serverDir || doc3 tmpDir</li>
<li>Next, the necessairy commands are added to the .bat file to open Word with the local copies:
cd c:\program files\microsoft office\office10
start WINWORD.EXE C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc1.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc2.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc3.docor in other words:
cd wordLocation
start WINWORD.EXE tmpDir || doc1 tmpDir || doc2 tmpDir || doc3</li>
<li>Finally, an exit command is also added to the .bat file and the .bat file is executed on the client through WebUtil.</li>
</ul>
The resulting .bat file that is executed on the client would look like this as a whole:
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc1.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc2.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
copy \\servername\someDirectory\docs\doc3.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
cd c:\program files\microsoft office\office10
start WINWORD.EXE C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc1.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc2.doc C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\doc3.doc
exitAny suggestions on how I can do this in the cleanest possible way in adf 10.1.3? I do realise that this is not something you want to do in a web application, but this is an important requirement for the customer...
Help would be greatly appreciated!

PDFOpenOptions issue with open(file, options)

Hi guys,
I have a script to open JPGs and now I need to adapt it to open PDFs.
I'm getting a "wrong type of enumerated value" error exactly because of the way I'm working the PDFOpenOptions (line "open(fileList[i], pdfOpenOptions);").
I found quite a few scripts that define pdf open options just like I did, but in all of them the root path was hard coded (I need it dynamic).
So, where am I going wrong? Too much time on it, can't see errors anymore... (mac, cs4)
#target photoshop
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.red = 255;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.green = 255;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.blue = 255;
var pdfOpenOptions = new PDFOpenOptions();
pdfOpenOptions.antiAlias = true;
pdfOpenOptions.mode = DocumentMode.RGB;
pdfOpenOptions.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
pdfOpenOptions.resolution = 72;
pdfOpenOptions.supressWarnings = true;
pdfOpenOptions.cropPage = CropToType.TRIMBOX;
var fileList = File.openDialog("Select files to batch",true);
if (fileList != null) {
     for (var i in fileList) {
          if (fileList[i] instanceof File && fileList[i].hidden == false) {
               open(fileList[i], pdfOpenOptions);
alert("Done");
else {
     alert("No files selected");
Thanks in advance!

Cool!
I had to figure some other things out like extracting the path from openDialog
which I didn't find anywhere else.
So it's finely time to share a decent and commented script (with the invaluable
help of Muppet Mark, thanks man!):
//This script is set to open pdf files,
//make 256x256px JPG duplicates,
//create a folder named zJPGs relative to the doc's path
//and save the files there
//Gustavo Soares,
//with the great help of Muppet Mark and many others
#target photoshop
//set units to pixels
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
//avoid displaying dialog boxes
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
//set background color to white
app.backgroundColor.rgb.red = 255;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.green = 255;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.blue = 255;
//define the pdf options for opening the document
var pdfOpenOptions = new PDFOpenOptions();
pdfOpenOptions.antiAlias = true;
pdfOpenOptions.mode = OpenDocumentMode.RGB;
pdfOpenOptions.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
pdfOpenOptions.resolution = 72;
pdfOpenOptions.supressWarnings = true;
pdfOpenOptions.cropPage = CropToType.TRIMBOX;
//pdfOpenOptions.page = 1
//Select files to batch ('true' is for aloowing multiple seleciont)
var fileList = File.openDialog("Select files to batch", true);
//Returns the dynamic path from the openDialog –
//there's certainly a better way for doing this
var fullPath = fileList[0];
var fullPathTemp = fullPath.fsName;
var sliceIndex = fullPathTemp.lastIndexOf ("/");
var docPath = fullPathTemp.slice(0, sliceIndex); //'0' means the beginning of the string
//Read the functions below to understand the loop
if (fileList != null) {
     for (var i in fileList) {
          if (fileList[i] instanceof File && fileList[i].hidden == false) {
               open(fileList[i], pdfOpenOptions);
               jpg256();
               app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

     alert("No files selected");

How do I get PSE10 to import and rename files in order?

When I place my CF card into the reader PSE opens and displays all the photos on the card the problem is they are out of order. I take volleyball photos and use the burst often The files are numbered properly by the camera but PSE seems to get them mixed up. When I import and renamer them PSE thakes them in the order they are shown and they are then renumbered out of order causind many shots to be out of order. I have never had this problem before. I have been using PSE 6 up thru 10 now and this is the first time I have had this happen. Last season I wasusing PSE9 and all my bursts sequences are in purfect order.
Am I missing something in the settings?

Hi,
The problem I have is with the PSE Organizer "Photo Downloader". When I
plug the CF card from my camera into the card reader on the computer the
"downloader" opens up and shows thumbnails of the files on the card. At
this point the files are out of order based on the file numbers applied
by the camera. I.e.: one sequence looks like this-
11,12,16,15,14,13,17,18; where 12 thru 16 were a burst. Another
sequence- 121,120,125,124,122,123; all one burst. As you can see they
are out of order. I tried leaving the card in the camera and the same
thing happens. If I view the photos in /on the camera they are in the
right order. What has been happening is that I rename and number the
files as I import them. When that happens the files get numbered in
sequence as to how they are seen in the "downloader"....this means in
the examples shown 16 would become 13; 15 becomes 14 ect. This ends up
mixing up any sequence of shots.
Once I have the RAW files imported I import them to Lightroom 4 to do
most of my processing. Here if I choose to arrange by time created I can
get them in the right order but because the files are rearranged into
the correct order and since I renamed them on importing the file numbers
are now out of order. After figuring out what the problem was I can now
import the files to lightroom without renaming > arrange by time or file
name> rename> and all seems to be OK. My question is I never had this
problem before and it was very nice to be able to rename the files at
import and be done with it.
I haven't had time to check into it but one thing I'm wondering is is
there a way to rename the files at import without changing the file
number? Is there a way to insert the date and text while keeping the
IMG_Number....i.e IMG001 becomes 2012 09 15_Volleyball_0001 keeping the
original file number and only inserting a date/name? This would solve
the whole problem as I could then arrange by file name and all would be
well.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Visual focus and "Open file" filechooser dialog

Hi,
I noticed that with "System L&F" in Windows XP, the "Open file" dialog than pops up does not have visual focus on icon on the left or the icons on the top. This behavior is different from what is observed with Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat.
When tabbing in the box, the File name, Files of type, Save, Cancel, and Save in options all have visual focus. The visual focus is lost until the actual focus is back on the File name field.
Is there a way to get this dialog work the way it does in MS Word or Adobe Acrobat ?
Thanks
VM

Hi was there any necessity to update? or did you just hit "Auto-Update" and did that instead? In the future,try not to update if the machine is working properly."If it ain't broke,don't fix it" famous American saying.
Anyways...get the "combo download" from Apple's website:
for the PPC:

and for Intel:

How to add "recently opened files" option in my menubar?

In MS Word & others there will be a option to retrive all the recently opened files.Where exactly these files have been stored? Can I get the code for adding this option in my menu bar?
regards,
Madhu

HI, i believe taht word stores that in the windows registery but yuo could always save it in a file. then each time your application opens or saves a document modify your file. then everytime your application starts just read that file and add the content to your recently opened files list in your menu.
Hope this helps you,
Robert

[SOLVED] Maximun TCP open connections and Open File Descriptors

Hi,
back when I was using XP I needed to patch a system file to increase max amount of open TCP connections - you surely know about this. I'm wondering how do I do the same in GNU/Linux and if that's real important here.
Also, by default open files are set to 1024, how do I change that? I'm running x86_64 + KDE SC 4.4.2
Last edited by martin77 (2010-04-12 04:17:27)

Thanks for replying.
I mean "open file handler" or in a better GNU/Linux terminology "open file descriptors" aka the maximun number of files that can be accessed at a given time.
For instance, VMWare will need you increase them to 4096 to work properly - and I presume something in the order of 5120 would be ok.
Following The Arch Way, already found the solution and want to share it with all of you fellow n00bs:
1. you need to open for edit /etc/security/limits.conf file with root privileges
2. at the end of the file add:
* soft nofile nn
* hard nofile nn
where nn is the number of open file descriptors you want. I set them to 8196 (probably too high) so for instance it should read:
* soft nofile 8192
* hard nofile 8192
Read the embedded help for a better understanding of this crucial configuration file.
As usual, thank you very much to this great community, devs and users, best!
