Indesign CC slows/stalls when Page panel drawing thumbnails

Upgraded to InDesign CC on a 2012 MacPro workstation with 40GB of RAM running Mountain Lion. When I have a multipage file open, InDesign slows and essentially stalls while it slowly redraws Page panel thumbnails. I can turn the thumbnails off, once it finally finishes drawing them, but they're often very useful for navigation in a long document (only about 40 pages). I've tried restarting, changing the thumbnail sizes, etc. with no real effect on the stalling.

We would need some additional information and if possible the file in which you are facing this issue.
OS, machine configuration. You can email the file @ [email protected]
Thanks in advance,

Graph stalls when front panel is adjusted

So I am trying to debug a code that someone previously wrote. I am a bit familiar with the code but as I mentioned did not write it myself. The deal is that when Im in running the front panel and the graph is graphing time vs any other parameter, if you press any button on the front panel or if a sub-vi gets called the graph will stall and one has to manually reset the graph. I am not too sure why this is going on. Attached are a few screen shots of where this section of the code lives. There is a stacked sequence with two subdiagrams and it is also being called in the event structure inside one of those subdiagrams. I could also upload the whole code if needed.
Thanks for the help guys

OK, I was able to get to the code by selective unzipping.
As a first step, you should eliminate all these value property nodes and replace them with plain local variables instead. The code os causing excessive thread switching and spends way too much time in the UI thread.
Overall, there is way too much code. For example you have in the "graphed parameter" event the same property node in every single case of the inner case structures. These property nodes belong after the case structure, only once instance each needed!
(Sorry, I have to do some other things now. Will look at it a little more later.....)

Bridge CC sometimes stalls when clicking ID CC thumbnails on Mavericks

I have deleted the switchboard folder and plugin, reset prefs, cleaned cache, but nothing have helped. Sometimes the switchboard process shows red i Activity Monitor, other times no. My workaround so far have been to use my old Bridge 5... What else can I do?

No, the machine, set-up and tasks are all the same as in CS5, I work off the same server on the same network with the same IP. The only new thing is Creative Cloud – and Mavericks, that I installed at the same time as CC. I even made an exeption for my firewall for Swichboard.

Can someone help me retrieve my pages panel?

My Pages panel has disappeared. It isn't an option to view it at all. I tried trashing the pages panel plugin and replacing it, trashing indesign preferences and restarting (pressing shift/control/option/command while starting indesign) and disabling/enabling the pages panel hyperlink in extensions manager. None of this has worked. Can someone help me? Very frustrated.

Yes, uninstall InDesign, but try the other stuff first. See CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 for info on the clearer tool.

Indesign CC 2014 crashes when duplicated pages within pages panel

running InDesign CC 2014 - mavericks 10.9.3. If I have content on say page one and within the pages panel I click and drag page one to the new page icon (something I do all the time to duplicate a page and it's content) it crashes InDesign. This is happening when I have copy pasted gradient mesh objects from illustrator to indesign. they paste in just fine, and I can copy paste those objects around, but not the whole page within the page panel

Hello march67,
Thanks for the test file. We could reproduce the crash.
We've identified the reason for the crash in your file. The problematic object is the RSS feed icon at the top right of the spread.
We've determined a fix for the crash and it should be available to all users in one of the upcoming patches. In the meanwhile, to prevent the crash, you could use the following workaround : Cut this object onto the clipboard. Duplicate the spread. Then paste the icon back in its place (Edit > Paste in Place).
Sorry for the trouble.
Thanks,

Indesign CS6 crashes when using pages panel - problem solutions?

Problem:
Indesign freeze up if I try to use pages panel and either: move - add or delete pages.
I have now tried to remove and reinstall Indesign and also tried removing "preferences" when starting Indesign (as suggested from another site).
Problem started quite sudden.
Desperate need suggestions to solve problem!

Please! Is there no one who can help?
I'm working with a 208 page document and need to be able to move pages around to make the best design possible.
This is impossible as every time I access the page panel InDesign freeze up and have to restart the program.
I'm working on PC with Windows 8. Problem seem to be sudden as explained over, and I have not been able to find any solution on internet.
As said over, I tried to remove “preferences” when starting InDesign but this made no changes to my problem.
In addition to above problem, I also had problems with being unable to move Objects, text fields etc. This was only possible when using arrow keys. From various suggestions on internet, I actually ended up uninstalling Google Chrome. This solved the problem in moving objects/text fields around, but my problem in moving pages still exists.
I have no desire in removing everything else but InDesign from my PC and hope to get a tip on solving my problem quick as time is of essence.

InDesign CS4 page numbering not displaying correctly in Pages Panel

Hello,
I searched the forums for a solution to my problem before posting. I am sorry if I'm doubling someone's question but here I go:
I noticed this problem I have about 6 month ago. When I create a simple document with automatic page numbering everything is fine. When I try and create a section (i.e. I want my numbering to start at 1 at page 3) it actually works however in the Pages Panel the pages are displayed with their basic numbers. You will agree this is rather confusing. I've tryed different files, same files on different computers and so on. The problem has to do with my installation of InDesign CS4 and I suppose it's some kind of a display option I accidentally turned on.
Could someone please suggest a solution? Thank you!

if anybody knows the solution for the same please help me.
Thanks
Tahir

Hi Hans
If you want to use PNG image, that is embedded in plugins binary you can simply use PlatformIconClass in your GenericPanelWidget Draw method.
"How can I draw an icon form the fr resource into this widget?"
PlatformIconClass thePIC;
thPIC.LoadIcon(kYOURPluginID, kPicIcoTopOutsidePictureRsrcID);
thPIC.Draw(inYOURViewPort, iconSysRect, kFalse);
other way is to use PNGArt class which gives a pointer to AGMImageRecord
PNGArt pngArt;
pngArt.SetRsrc(kYOURPluginID, kPicIcoTopOutsidePictureRsrcID, false);
AGMImageRecord* theImageRecord2 = pngArt.GetBitmap();
"Instead of PNG, can I use BMP (Bitmap)?"
InDesign resources are based on PNG image format. Don't think you can work with other formats.

Indesign CS5 keeps crashing when deleting pages

Hi folks,
I'm working in CS5 Indesign on a long document (on a deadline) and trying to delete pages from the pages panel when it just crashes.
I am working on an Apple Macbook with OS 10.74 and my Indesign is updated to 7.0.4.
I have been using Indesign all week with no problems and then just an hour ago it starts to crash?
I don't get any blank warning boxes it just shuts down.
Any ideas would greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I had this problem occur also in CS5. I could only insert one page at a time, if I tried to insert any more than that Indesign crashed.
The document I was working on had two separate Master Pages, Master-A (a 2 page spread) and Master-B (Single page). I found that by deleting the Master-B the problem was solved, I could insert as many pages as needed.
Hope this helps.

I am working on a file I created in Indesign CC 2014 and when I try to rearrange pages in the Pages menu or try to package the file, I get the spinning wheel for 20 mins. then it crashes. What should I do?

Can anyone help? I started a 24 page document in Indesign CC 2014 and have been using the file off of a dropbox acct on my two machines (desktop and macbook pro). I need to rearrange some of the pages but when I try to drag and drop the pages in the Pages menu, I get the ominous spinning wheel...for about 20 mins at times. then It will just crash. The document doesn't have a tone of images. I've also tried to collect and package the file but get the same thing.
What should I do?? Help!

try the script at Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.
I'd also try moving the pages to a new file, though I suspect that will crash too. Divide and conquer might work -- tray one of your operations on half the document at a time, then repeat by dividing any piece that fails, and so on, until you isolate a page, then use the same method to isolate an object (though it's possible you have a corrupt page).

Indesign CS6 Pages Panel Reversed Numbering

A customer has given us a document and the pages in the pages panel are inverted, they built the internal document in correct page order 1-12 but the Pages Panel reads 1,3-2,5-4,7-6,etc. I can't figure out how they did this. When exporting a PDF it follows the pages panel for sequence which is incorrect. Even if i re-arange the pages panel (which throws the document out of order) it still reads reads 1,3-2,5-4,7-6,etc. How can I correct this. I have attched a screnn shot of the Pages Panel.

Interesting, because they built there content to read left to right or Left Binding. Is there a way to fix it other than me exporting the pages 1,3,2,5,4,7,6. I should be able to export 1-12 like the content is built but then it is out of order for pagination.

How to force page to scroll when collapsible panel is opened by link

Hi,
I have seen similiar questions asked but not answered, so maybe there isn't away to do this.
I have numerous collapsible panels going all the way down the page, actually I just formed a Collapsible Panel Group. They are opened by a list of links at the top of the page.
This is an example of a link...
<li><a href="#CollapsiblePanel14" onclick="cpg.openPanel(13);">AKC CGC & TDI Testing</a></li>
And this is the javascript at the bottom of the page...
var cpg = new Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanelGroup("CollapsiblePanelGroup1", { contentIsOpen: false, duration: 800 });
When a link to one of the lower panels is clicked, I would like the page to scroll down so when the panel opens all of the content is within view.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks
Dennis

On line 431 of your JS change
this.content.style.height = this.toHeight + "px";
to
this.content.style.height = "auto";

InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text

InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text.
Running on 2010 Macpro 2.4GHz. 8GB RAM. Any solutions? I've read through many forums on this and tried several fixes.

Have exact same issue on my Windows 7 machine. Resetting preferences is a workaround.
So I start InDesign whilst holding down these keys.
Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac)
Whilst inDesign is usable again with this fix- I have to do it every time so it trashes all my preferences so NOT GOOD long term fix. Otherwise InDesign freezes and can only be stopped by forcing a quit.
I have manually deleted the preference files and I have created a brand new admin account - but still no luck - will be onto support tomorrow
