Lightroom 2.1 Release Candidate is available in the Labs

Much better performance right from the start. I appreciate the speed improvements--- no beach balls yet. I don't think I am alone when I say that the beach ball is a real drain not only on time spent, but the stress of "what changes were saved" , "is this going to crash and corrupt my database" and "maybe I do miss my darkroom". The rest of the problems don't seem to bother me as much, and those seem to be fixed too.
Occurs to me that we should have one sticky thread for single posts on bugs and separate ones for troubleshooting them.
Anyhow, great to have my Lightroom back running like before with more tools than LR1.4.

You have a wild hair about Bridge, Noel?
Not at all. I like good tools, and from everything I read Bridge is marvelous. I don't have anything against Bridge, I just don't need it.
As a computer engineer, I use my computer for WAY more than just Photoshop. As such, I do everything I can to have the operating system (via Windows Explorer) integrate things for me.
For example, via right-click or double-click or drag and drop onto icons:
I access my configuration management system from Explorer (Tortoise SubVersion).
I do searches (grepWin) from Explorer.
I compare things (Beyond Compare) from Explorer.
I start Photoshop and other image tools on raw and processed image files I manage with Explorer.
I start my development tools (Visual Studio and a host of utilities) from Explorer (e.g., double click .sln files).
I access my web sites with Explorer (via WebDrive).
I get file paths from Explorer (right click, Send to Clipboard as Name).
I access office management apps from Explorer (e.g., double click .doc or .xls files).
This is an abbreviated list. Explorer can be a VERY powerful integrator, and is at the center of my computing world at a higher level. So now you can start to imagine why I prefer Explorer for image work.

I would recomend not to wait till the patch is live rather get that resolved now, so that we are sure that your update from live works.
Can you please verify if OOBE folder is present in Program Files\Commo
n Files\Adobe\ folder?
If not, can you please reinstall the CS5 product in order to get that folder and then try installing 6.2 again?

Lightroom 3.2 Release Candidate Available on Adobe Labs

This release includes camera support, bug fixes and new features. Details here:

Despite the fact that the bug list does not announce any of this, I'm very happy to report that LR3.2 RC seems to run quite a bit snappier in many ways. Local edits are still slower with an image that already had a lot of tweaks applied compared to applying them on a fresh image, but overall the performance seems to be much improved.
Its still early days and I'll have to do some real work but so far it looks very promising. Thanks for the release candidate!
The stuttery cursors of the spot removal and red-eye tool are gone as well. Nice touch. I now have an idea why it had been these two cursors that were different. They are the only ones which may need to change mode if the cursors are run over previous applications (i.e. there has to be a collision test with round shapes other than the handles). In my current testing I noticed that said cursors sometimes can become stuck completely and only move on after a slight pause. I think this is a new bug as I haven't seen it before. Hope it is not Lua garbage collecting. Moving the cursors around shouldn't really be a problem even if there are some collision tests to be performed.
A bug I reported about the spot removal tool not working well in corners also appears to have been addressed.
I've only done a very quick test so nothing is definitive but indeed looks promising.
The only issue that might have gone worse is the jerkiness of scrolling through the grid mode with the scroll bar. It wasn't great before but I now seem to experience more frequent and longer pauses in updating the grid. Please, everyone compare the (on my system jerky) way the scrollbar moves the grid to grabbing the grid with the mouse (move the cursor on a line between images and it will turn into a hand). If you move the mouse while having grabbed the grid, the updates are smooth and allow visual tracking of the images while they move. The movement with the scrollbar is so jerky that I cannot visually track the images as they pass by.
Note that scrolling with cursor keys is very fast without pauses but the movement isn't smooth (jumps with the image height) so again visual tracking is hard.
I have an idea why the scrollbar is as decoupled from the grid movement as it is, but I hope that there is room for improvement. I'd be prepared the grab the grid even though that would mean precision manoeuvres with the mouse, but unfortunately, you don't really get far with this method.

If I download the Lightroom 4.4 release candidate, will it keep all of my stuff?

I am able to keep all of my photos/collections in Lightroom when I update, but I was wondering if I did the release candidate if it would do the same?

I just installed it and it kept all of mine, but there was a problem with previews disappearing. How long does it take to back up your existing stuff? I'd back it up...just in case

Here is a draft of my final release notes for working with Lightroom 3 and Camera Raw 5.7:
Viewing Lightroom 3 settings in Camera Raw 5.7
Before working in conjunction with Lightroom 3 and Camera Raw please set the Camera Raw preference to: Save image settings in: Sidecar ".xmp" files. By default Camera Raw will display the image adjustments exactly as performed in Lightroom’s develop module. However, at this time Camera Raw 5.7 is unable to support further adjustments to the following settings or tools:
Highlight Priority and Color Priority post-crop vignette
Enhanced Luminance and Color Noise Reduction
Grain effects
Process Version
Lightroom is also dependent on a compatible version of the Camera Raw plug-in for the "Edit in Photoshop" functionality to work properly. Camera Raw 5.7 will ensure that Lightroom 3 beta 2 will maintain that compatible functionality with Photoshop CS4.

That seems to clarify the interoperability of ACR 5.7 and LR 3. Thank you for that, Mr. Hogarty.
Now, for the benefit of those of use who are not and/or will not be using Lightroom 3 for whatever reason, perhaps Mr. Chan or you can address the question of whether ACR 5.7 RC has a different or improved Noise Reduction functionality over that of ACR 5.6, and/or whether this will be the case for the final, GM release of ACR 5.7. Let's leave any and all versions of LR out of the equation for a second, please.
I think I see improved Noise Reduction in ACR 5.7 RC, but I wonder if this is real or whether I've just improved my skills in handling the noise reduction sliders since earlier versions.
Thanks.

According to whom?
And Im not sure AVCHD should be counted as a new 'feature'. It is a format used by many, many cameras. It would be great if Adobe could provide support for the entire camera, not just part of it.
Video was one of the most highly touted of features for Lightroom 3. It was a key feature for me, and due to its incomplete implementation I find it more of a nuisance then any real use.
A new (container) file format would always be considered a feature. Adobe chose to not support this format for whatever reasons they had at the time. Video support was obviously just introduced for Lr 3 to satisfy some basic requirements, and the fact is a large part of the user base could care less if it has video support at all.
Adobe is well aware of what some users would like. The problem is that if you consider what all the users would like across the product, you quickly realize that there is more work than time available for each release.
Point releases have traditionally been about stability, bug fixes and ACR support. These are the things that affect the greatest percentage of the user base.
I guess you are missing the users interests. If they would introduce a new container format only in major releases, would mean that we around 1.5 years before AVCHD is supported. Cameras with AVCHD are now for at least 1.5 years on the market. Needing 3 years to support this would be certainly not very acceptable. Thus, the request to support AVCHD as soon as possible is certainly absolutely legitmate. There is no reason not to include such a thing in a point release - its just product policy.
Kind regards
Thomas

On Macs, Ian said that the RC replacing the released version is how the Apple Store works. I had not seen that the install automatically happened, though, is that what happened to you? Maybe that is also a function of the Apple Store if certain settings are in effect. It seems to me to be a flaw in the Apple Store or Adobe’s implementation of it if a beta/rc version cannot be hosted in the apple store as a distinct entity from the released version so people can prevent one from overwriting the other.
AFAIK, this RC has not been pushed to the Apple Store, but the app behaves in the same way as Windows now (download and install, it overwrites instead of installing separately). True beta's (i.e. 4.0 beta before release) continue to be completely separate.
FWIW, if any Mac users need to keep multiple versions, zip up your 4.1 before installing the RC. Once installed, you can unzip the old 4.1 and it'll live alongside 4.2RC.

Randy,
Thank you for getting back to me - much appreciated.
This is why I think it's a bug. Time is set correctly as well as the time zone, but the system still won't transition from night to day. Perhaps you can duplicate my scenario in your enviornment -I have a unique customer requirement for this feature which may be triggering this issue (but nevertheless I still feel it's a bug becuase it's not behaving as expected) The customer needs to be 'day' 24x7 except for Thursdays between 8:30am-4:30pm where this is 'night'. In order to test this configuration functionality I set the current day (in this case it was Saturday 9/16) to be 'night'. What I found that it did indeed set the mode to 'night' - however when I reverted back to the desired schedule (turned Saturday back to 'day' the night mode wouldn't switch back, even though I set back Saturday to be 'day'. If I disabled night/day mode it would go back to day, but when I put it back to the day/nigh schedule (with the desired schedule) - it would go back to 'night' mode incorrectly as Saturday was scheduled as 'day'. I then enabled the force night button on one of the phones which (correct me if I'm wrong) should allow me to toggle the modes. In corresponding with the mode, the phone button indicated amber, but when I pressed it it would turn green, but the Status -> Devices would still show that 'night' mode was still on. I also confirmed that it wasn't an error in display, when it was in 'night' mode it would behave as such with the corresponding call routing rules in place.
I hope this makes sense - I would welcome you to take a look at the system but I need to arrange this with my customer.
Regards,
Ed Tsai

Bc4j-oc4j and Jdeveloper Release Candidate

I developed a bc4j application with Jdeveloper Release Candidate. In another pc I installed 9ias and bc4j-oc4j server. Then I deployed my application using .ear file. I get an error when I try to run the application through the as. Here is the error:
oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException: Line # 18,
Error: releasemode is not a property of oracle.jbo.html.jsp.datatags.ApplicationModuleTag
I think it is not true that releasemode is not a property of ApplicationModule tag. Can anyone help me?
thanks

Hi, first of all thanks for your interest and sorry for my English.
Actually I have tried some different combinations.
First of all I downloaded 9ias v1.0.2.2 core form web-site. In it oc4j comes with version 1.0.2.2.1. I installed it and could not even get that error message. Then I installed bc4j runtime installer over it. Then I got that error message.(That message is just an example. I think not all of the necessary classes with correct versions are contained in the container.). Then I tried to use the oc4j that is embeded in the jdeveloper release candidate. I copied the directory and put to the proper place in the application server. It did not even start. Finally I downloaded 9ias Release2-j2eedeveloper's preview. It brougth me a version 9.0.2.0A. I was wery hopeful with it but it did not work either.
I only want to deploy and use my jsp files that I created by jdeveloper release candidate. I need correct versions of application server and container I think.
Thanks a lot.

Announcing General Availability of PowerShell Connector and Release Candidate of Generic SQL and SAP Roles/Users

The FIM team is pleased to announce the availability of some additional Connectors for FIM2010R2.
General Availability of PowerShell Connector
The PowerShell Connector can be used to communicate with a system through PowerShell scripts. This allows an easy and flexible way to communicate with other systems but also to pre-/post-process data and files before handed over to the FIM Synchronization
Service. We believe the community will help providing scripts for this Connector for various systems and will open a place where scripts can be published for reuse.
TechNet docs:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=393057
Download:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=393056
Release Candidate of Generic SQL Connector
The Generic SQL Connector will allow you to connect to any database where you have an ODBC driver available. It enables new features compared to the built-in MA such as support for Stored Procedures, running SQL scripts, built-in delta import support, import
multiple object types, connect to multiple tables, and much more. This Connector is built on ECMA2.3 which allows schema discoverability to be customized in the Sync Engine UI. A pre-release of the next Sync Engine hotfix is included with the Connector download
and is required for the Connector to work.
Download:
https://connect.microsoft.com/site433/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=52652
Release Candidate of SAP Users and Roles/Groups
The updated SAP templates for Users and Roles/Groups allows you to manage Users, Roles, and Groups in SAP. This also include password sync for Users to SAP. The Connector will make sure roles are represented as groups to make it possible to manage these
with bhold. This template will require the previously published WebService Connector:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=235883.
Download:
https://connect.microsoft.com/site433/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=52651
If you have participated in any other Connector preview program you will have access to the Release Candidate downloads. If you have not participated before then to get access to the preview programs on Connect either join the program “Identity and Access
Management”, “FIM Synchronization Service Connectors Pre-release” on
http://connect.microsoft.com/directory or follow this link
http://connect.microsoft.com/site433/SelfNomination.aspx?ProgramID=6709&pageType=1
We have also published an update to the Generic LDAP Connector adding support for some additional LDAP directories, see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2936070/. If you have additional LDAP directories you think we should support, please feel free to contact me.
                On behalf of the FIM Sync team,

We've been using the OpenLDAPXMA to be able to connect to ACF2 CA-LDAP (from Computer Associates) running on a IBM Z-OS Mainframe System. We've been using it for password synchronization since 2004 on MIIS. Today it's still used via the
OpenLDAPXMA (64bit) on FIM 2010 R2.
We had to tweak the password management component in the OpenLDAPXMA to support the error messages we get from the ACF2 System, as we support a multi-master password setup between Mainframe and Active Directory (one can change the password on
MF and/or on Windows). by example "LDP0406E ACF2 error modifying lid(ACF00155 NEW PASSWORD CANNOT BE THE SAME AS CURRENT PASSWORD)".
Additionally, we cannot get the delta import to work with the CA-LDAP, there's no capability in it and we tried to use the time attribute to use in the query for recent changes, but it does not work. (I think we need it in a large integer format
or unix time integer).
Would be great to have Microsofts' support in this :)
In a case like this where your follow-up has nothing to do with the
original post you should create a new thread.
Having said that, neither of the MAs to which you refer are official
Microsoft MAs and as such there is no support from Microsoft available.
Also, keep in mind that the ECMA1/XMA extensibility framework has been
deprecated and replaced by the ECMA 2.0. You should plan on replacing
existing ECMA1 management agents with ECMA2.0 connectors.
