Layer palette not maintaining state, what to do??

Problem: Layer palette chages state between the closing and reopening of a file.
What I would like to be able to do is open a .ai file and have the layer palette exactly the way the way I left it when I closed the file. Currently upon reopening a file many of the layers will be fully expanded and I have to go through and collapse them all.
Is there a way to force Illustrator to maintain layer palette state between file sessions?
Thanks.

The behaviour - or the issue - has been introduced in Illustrator 9, the first version which included nested layers. The behaviour has been legitimately criticised pretty often.
However, if you want to collapse/expand all layers in one step you might consider converting your main layers into sublayers. That is:
• Create a new 'master layer' on top of the entire stack of main layers
• Drag all main layers onto the master layer in order to make them sub layers of the master layer
• Now you can Alt/Option Click the triangle on the left-hand side of the master layer in order to collapse or expand all sublayers
Of course, this way is only applicable if using sublayers is an option for you.

  • What's showing in the layer palette is different than what is on the canvas - Illustrator CS6

    I am not a super user in Illustrator but I know my way around it and understand more than the basics.  I downloaded this vector from Shutterstock, but what I am seeing on the layer palette is different from what is on the canvas and if I try to save or export it to anything else the result comes out looking like the layers palette - almost black.
    And it's only happening on a few of the objects, as you can see from the image, the apple and other leaves are fine.  It is also doing it to the pumkin and some of the grapes in the cornicopia.  Any idea what is going on?  I checked all my layers to see if something looked weird but they all look fine...
    When I open the original .eps file from Shutterstock in Photoshop, I get the same black objects.

    What OS? If Mac, then this might be affecting you.

  • Is there a way to shift select multiple objects in layer palette, not just highlight multiple object

    Hi,
    Is there a way to shift select multiple objects in layer palette, not just highlight multiple objects?
    I would want to do this when I have a bunch of objects hidden under some other objects on the artboard. This feature is available in PSD, so I assume Illustrator should have it.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply, Harron.
    I'm using CS4 & below.
    Highlighting object - click on object in layers palette & it turns blue
    Select object - click on object in layers palette to the right of the circle, which creates a square, and selects the object on the artboard
    How do I shift-select multiple objects in the layers palette...select 50 objects with a click, then a shift-click? Shift-select works for highlighting, but not selecting. On most programs shift-select is used to grab a bunch of stuff...:0)
    In the past I have inadvertently selected multiple objects in the layers palette, by somehow alt?-dragging over the layers...or something...I can't re-create it.

  • IE 11 not maintaining state

    Just had the IE 11 update pushed to my development box.  Now, on the site I am working on, I am getting a new cfid/cftoken with every page request, ruining state/session management.
    What is the easiest work around on this?  I would hate to have to go through all the site adding #cfid# and #cftoken# to every url...
    Also, if I do have to append cfid/cftoken, how is it handled when the site is indexed by a se bot?  Wouldn't the cached links have the same cfid/cftoken for everyone?
    Thank you.

    Ensure IE is allowing cookies to be set.  There's probably a security/privacy setting that's just preventing this; IE is a horrible browser, but I cannot see it just blindly refusing to store session data.
    There is a function called URLSessionFormat which you can wrap around all your links, and CF will determine if the client can support cookies or not; if so, it will append nothing to the URL, but if they cannot, it will add the needed variables to the URL passed to it in order to add the CFID/CFTOKEN as needed.
    Also, you don't want to send session data to any resource that does not modify or restrict its content by user.  For example, you send a session data to the base request because it needs to know who you are through subsequent requests, but you don't want to append the CFID and CFTOKEN data to resources that don't care who you are and just serve data.  Like Images, Scripts and Styles.
    In fact, a way of optimizing an application often involves moving said resources to separate hosts who are setup to not even accept cookie data; that way, even the request to the resource is minimal (smaller request headers).  For such resources, simply do not enclose them in the URLSessionFormat() BIF.

  • System not maintained

    Hi Guys Can some one tell me how to switch our sytems to maintained. When I go into  system data maintenance through the web browser and click on a system I do a consistancy check and the systems comes back as not maintained. What do I have to do to get this to a maintained state?
    Thanks Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Check all SAP-OSS rfc is working or not. Give you proper admin s000* user id and password in login details. RFCs are SAP-OSS and SAP-OSS-LIST-O01, not SAPOSS, SDCC_OSS and SAPNET_RTCC. Then update data. 
    Second option, manually you can enter service.sap.com and maintain you system data manually.
    Hostname, ip address etc.
    Thanks,

  • Cisco Agents goes to Not ready state

    Hi,
    I have use IPCC ver:4.0(5) SR01ES09_Build095.
    We have encountered that our cisco agents automatically change state and it will goes from log-in state to Not ready state.
    what was the solution where i have to check the logs.
    regards
    Salman

    Hi Salman-ahmad,
    This could be the way you have your agents or CSQ configured, you can configure IPCC to have them to automatically goto Not ready or stay in ready. Have you check your system parameter's?
    Under RMCM Subsystem, click the resource link on the left hand side,
    there is a "automatically Available" radio box you need to select.
    Otherwise you maybe hitting this bug.... Are these your symptom's?
    CSCsf11662 Bug Details
    Agent goes to Not Ready after making Outbound call from Ready state
    Symptom:
    Agent makes outbound call from ICD extension (to a non-ICD extension), when
    the agent finishes the call, they go into Not Ready state when they expect
    to be returned to Ready state.
    Conditions:
    - Cisco Customer Response Solutions (CRS) 4.0(3)
    - Agent makes outbound call from ICd extension whilst in Work state (after just finishing an incoming ICD call).
    - Agent places the outbound call on Hold at some stage during the call.
    Workaround:
    If the above scenario occurs, Agent needs to manually change to Ready state.
    HTH, Please rate if so

  • I have a problem with not a statement

    when I compile this , it says "not a statement".What this suppose means?I know usually it caused by using a variable name beginning with a digit or punctuation or some other improper character, but how about in this case?

  • In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photos in the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them to disk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doing wrong?

    In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photosin the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them todisk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doingwrong?

    When you sort the Album in iphoto are you sorting manually? Or by date of the photos?
    When you sort in the Finder how are are you sorting?
    Here's one way to do what you're trying to do:
    Create your Album and sort the pics as you want them. Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the Finder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

    When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.

    Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:
    For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

  • What is the best way to maintain state in Java web apps?

    Hi,
    been looking at best way to maintain state between requests in JSP.
    Ive been trying to use URL rewriting but been getting problems. I understand I can also achieve this using cookies.
    Are there any other better ways of doing this.
    I don�t know if the problem is with JBuilder4 or something in the Tomcat server?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    thanks.

    I think if you use JavaBeans that implements Serializable , it might maintain state (but not sure of this).
    HttpSession is one option but , sessions have limitations - they timeout, they don't work when the page is cached by the browser and they don't work if Cookies are disabled in the browser.
    Database is always an option, and there are two types of DBs , in-memory like HSQLDB etc , or the regular RDBMS like MySQL , Oracle etc.
    If you only want to maintain state between HttpRequests, then use the request object which is implicit in JSPs.
    I think your URL Encoding is not working most likely because you have disabled Cookies in your browser and that's why you see jsessionid.
    If you enable Cookies in your browser then, the jsessionid should not appear.
    There are other options I'm sure, but I'm only aware of the above at this time.... may be someone else might know more.
