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.

Lightroom 2.1 Release Candidate - Note from Adobe

Lightroom 2.1 has been posted as a release candidate to Adobe Labs:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Lightroom_2.1
Blog post on the topic here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2008/09/lightroom_21_available_on_adob.html
From that post: The Lightroom team would like to thank all of the photographers on the Lightroom User to User forum who helped provide constructive insight into the issues that we have fixed in this release.

Tom Hogarty

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?

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.

Adobe InDesign API Navigator is available on Adobe labs

Adobe InDesign CS5 API Navigator is available on Adobe labs web site. You can download for free.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/indesign_apinavigator/
If you are an InDesign C++ plug-in developer, you should definitely try this new tool.
The InDesign API Navigator is a tool for InDesign C++ Plug-in developers. It works as an add-in for Visual Studio on Windows and as a plug-in for Xcode on Mac OS X. It helps developers get API information within the IDE directly, including Boss definitions, aggregating Bosses for interfaces, and ODFRC type definitions. It also adds syntax coloring for ODFRC files (.fr and .fh). It extends the debugger expression evaluator to understand some InDesign types, which allows the debugger to format some InDesign types nicely in the variables pane (Xcode) or watch window (Visual Studio) while debugging. In Visual Studio, it enables the IDE to browse InDesign C++ APIs.
Try it and give your comments.
Thanks

Hi,
Have you an API Navigator version to Visual Studio 2010?

Camera Raw 5.3 and Lightroom 2.3 Available on Adobe Labs

Eric, it's been a few days since the release of LR 5.3 and ACR 5.3, and I cannot download ACR 5.3 via Help>Updates, as is recommended. LR was able to acknowledge that an update was available within hours of its availability, but my copy of CS4 Extended (as part of Production Premium) hasn't yet.
Is there a delay in providing automatic updates through Help>Updates, or could there be a problem with my copy of CS4 Extended?
I would appreciate any assistance given with this, as I prefer the automatic download process, compared to the additional steps necessary when downloading the installer.
Regards, JML

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

Flash Catalyst "Panini" Preview available at Adobe Labs

I'm not sure how many of you have had time to keep up with what is going on at Adobe Max this year, but some of the keynote videos have demonstrated Flash Catalyst "Panini". There is a preview download of the future version of Flash Catalyst available at the Adobe Labs site here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcatalyst_panini/
It's beta software, so all the usual caveats apply (you can learn more from the link above). Apart from the advances made in Flash Catalyst "Panini", the most immediate pieces are that this preview version can co-exist with a Flash Catalyst CS5 install (so no need to uninstall Fc CS5 to try it) and that this particular preview build doesn't open Fc CS5 projects.
Hopefully you find it to be an improvement and we welcome your feedback.
--Nate
Quality Engineer on Flash Catalyst

I found a bit of information about serial numbers on the Panini download page:
These downloads provide 30-day trial versions of Flash Catalyst "Panini" for Mac OS and Windows. You can extend the preview release by entering a valid Flash Catalyst CS5 serial number. If you own a copy of the Creative Suite 5 editions of Design Premium, Web Premium, Production Premium or Master Collection, you can also extend the use of Flash Catalyst "Panini" by requesting an extension serial number.
Though it looks like the extension serial number system isn't active until later this month.

Loaded on a plain vanilla XP system with no problems. However, I respectfully request you get rid of the setup 64 bit splash screen, can be confusing to those of us with 32 bit systems. It could easily be interpreted as indicating one has downloaded the wrong software.

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

OC4J 2.0.0 is included in the JDev 9i Release Candidate (Available Now)

http://www.oracle.com/start/jdevelopereap/intro.html?
src=855007&Act=4
I pretty sure it's 2.0.0 as it says so in the JDev 9i read me
and JAZN (Oracle's JAAS implementation) is in there and it's
supposed to be in 2.0.0. Plus the j2EE_home directory structure
is different from 1.0.2.2.
Can't find the updated documentation though, damn.

Updates don't necessarily improve things and the point updates often create as many problems as they solve. The combination of 10.4.2 and QT 7.0 has been rock solid and problem free for me.
I only update under controlled circumstances because I value system stability very highly. I have worked with and supported thousands of systems over the years and I can guarantee that the wanton application of updates is the #1 cause of problems.
The software crash I mentioned happened while iDVD5 was reconnecting media in a project that had been moved to a different hard drive. It corrupted something in QuickTime as well as the disk catalog on one of my backup drives. I don't believe it's a repairable problem and decided to reinstall the system. For me, that opened the question of whether or not to reinstall my existing disk image or build a new one from scratch.
OSX 10.4.9 has created major headaches for users of Final Cut Express and the QuickTime forum is full of problems associated with 7.1.5 & 7.1.6.
I am looking for recommendations on specific releases of QT (in this forum) and OSX that users have found to be especially solid.
