Lightroom Slideshow - long delay to generate all previews
Lightroom Slideshow - Is there a way for the slideshow to start after the first preview has been generated? Why do all the previews have to be delayed before the first is even shown?
Adobe had problems with overlapped slideshow (showing slideshow while previews generating) and decided to "punt" (generate all previews prior to starting the slideshow).
A step backwards to be sure.
But note: slideshow is using ordinary library previews, so if you are diligent to build after editing, then slideshows start faster.
Sorry, but it's not my fault .

RAM Preview/Renders begin after long delay.
This problem began last week. Suddenly, my RAM Previews and renders cause the spinning beach ball of death, which will last anywhere from 1-3 minutes before the actual RAM Preview or render process begins. The longest being 5 minutes, but that's only happened once.
I'm using a Mac Pro with 8GB RAM, 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel, OSX is current build at 10.5.7. And, I'm using CS4 AE.
So, what could be causing the atrocious delays before beginning the Previews and Renders?
Under preferences, I enabled disk cache, with max at 3500MB. The folder is located on an external drive connected with 800 Firewire. It's been set like this for a while without problems...
Conformed media cache is set for the same drive.
For memory prefs, I have:
Total AE mem usage at 6.5GB, other apps have 1.5.
Render mult frames simultaneously is checked, the longer RAM preview/faster rendering knob is set around midway point.
Hopefully I didn't leave anything out. Thanks for the help in advance.Yes, it does happen in all of my projects.
The fonts are fine. I just created a new project, typed a regular text layer with a Times, and even that RAM preview took over a minute. The render was the same.
Well, lookee there. Just unchecked the option for rendering multi frames simultaneously and it instantly begins both processes.
Thanks for the help. Hopefully this doesn't crop up again. -
Regarding Lightroom Slideshow module: When I click on the preview button I get the following error: An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt at index a nil value. This occurs with any group of images I select in my catalog.
Jeannine,
If you follow the advice of the previous poster Julie Kmoch and then gradualy add presets back in one at a time you might be able to find the one that is causing the issue. I may be guessing, but I believe the issue has something to do with either an incompatible Preset setting (eg a older preset in newer version of LR) or a corrupt Preset.
Say you bought LR2 and imported a bunch of Presets from the internet, cuz 'Hey these effects are cool and I don't have to recreate the wheel', and then you upgraded to LR3 (not a clean install) and now one of the Presets that calls a certain slider setting or value that is different in LR3 doesn't work anymore. This might be why it throws the error, but again I am just speculating.
Location of LR Preset folder in Windows Vista/ Windows 7
C:/Users/<YourUserName>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets
If you do not see the folder AppData, you may need to change the settings in Windows Explorer to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. To do that in Windows Vista/ Windows 7, open a Windows Explorer window, Click on Organize, then Foler and Search Options. Then click on the View tab and select the option button next to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
Hope this helps a bit,

I have been a subscriber to Adobe CC (PhotoShop/ LightRoom) for over a year now and just noticed that Lightroom no longer appears in my installed App list. Lightroom 5.7 IS on my computer and I work with it all the time. I am concerned that it is not getting updated. It does show LightRoom 5 as an available to install app but I am not going there again. Did it once and lost all my 1 to 1 previews and preference settings on tens of thousands of images in my Lightroom library. I am on a windows based PC with Intel i7-4770 processor running 8.1 Pro with 16GB RAM.My Library files are on an external 3TB Seagate drive.
I have also been getting lots of error messages that Lightroom did not shut down properly last time and it needs to check the integrity of the files. I don't know if this is all related to the same problem but I didn't seem to have these problems when I was running on my own "installed version".
Does anybody have a clue?

Problem With Listener Service: Long Delay Starting Listener, Intermittent Connections
I am having trouble connecting to my Oracle database. I'm not sure what the cause was, but now when I connect to a database that has been working fine for the past two years, I usually get a ORA-12541 error.
I run lsnrctl status on the server and get a prinout like this:
Copyright (c) 1991, 2010, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=dqaswn02)(PORT=1521)))

TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00511: No listener
64-bit Windows Error: 2: No such file or directory
I've also tried manually stopping the service via services.msc and then restarting via lsnrctl start, but when I do this I get a really long delay (10+ minutes) before it returns with something like:
TNS-01153: Failed to process string: 0í≈♥
I'm pretty lost as to what is wrong. I've been messing around with listener.ora, but I don't see anything problematic in there. Here's a copy:

However, a few times during this I've been able to connect to the server, via sqlplus, but it has taken 10 minutes before the connection comes online. Once I'm connected, I can query my tables as expected, but I need an application to connect.
If anyone has any ideas on what could be wrong, please let me know.When I opened up netca, I didn't have any listeners configured, which seems very strange. When adding it, I get this message in the cmd window:

I killed the service via services.msc again and tried starting the lsnrctl. This time I've got a new listening service going:

Synchronizing does not generate a preview window
When I synchronize a site, the preview window no longer
appears.
I don't think any changes were made to site settings, etc...
This is just something that suddenly started happening a few days
ago. No changes were made to the system except the addition of a
larger monitor (and "prevent windows from opening off screen" is
set in the desktop settings).
I have more than 30 sites, and I have not made changes to FTP
settings, etc..., so I assume this is a program issue. This problem
occurs when synching all of my sites.
I'm pretty sure this is not a time stamp (sever and computer
using the same time) issue, as it's not really about finding the
unsynched files; it's about not generating a preview window.
Dreamweaver 8 simply scans through all the site files, but
then no preview pane shows up. I can "put" and "get" files, there
just isn't a preview pane once Dreamweaver checks the site and
local files for synching.
I updated to 8.0.2 quite a while ago, so there's no patch
fix.
Suggestions?Try turning off (or lowering) Hardware Acceleration for your graphics card.
At the Windows Desktop, Right Click and select "Properties". Under the "Settings" Tab, select "Advanced". Select the "Troubleshoot" Tab and reduce the Hardware Acceleration. You will need to restart you computer to see if it worked. First, try it with no Acceleration. If it works, try increasing the Hardwar Accelearation one notch at a time - rebooting your computer each time. \
I obtained this procedure from the Adobe Technical Staff.

Looooooooong delay in generating output
I am trying to generate primary output (flash), and it seems
like it just isnt doing anything at all. The message window in the
bottom has said "Finished compiling FlashHelp in 2 sec(s)" for
about half an hour now.
It was generating very quickly yesterday, but since then I
added a background and a header image to my template. Is it normal
for these long delays? I have only just started using Robohelp.
TIA
UPDATE:
I just scrolled up that message window and got the following

Has anyone else experienced very long delays in screen
sharing? My actions are taking at least 30 seconds to be shown to
participants and the connection to the Connect server regularly
breaks. It's made it impossible to give any presentations and has
been quicker to email screenshots through to people during a live
presentation!
My Internet connection is fine with several speed test
websites showing at least 2.5Mbps dl and 384Kbps ul. Latency is
<1ms according to Connect. The local preview of the screenshare
is running about 10-15 seconds behind.
Thanks,
Gary.Thanks Jorma. I've even gone down to 800x600 and it doesn't
make any difference at all. After trying for 2 weeks to get Adobe
to respond to a support call I made, someone from Adobe India tried
to help but they don't have access to the Adobe servers so weren't
able to run any diagnostic at the head end. So I'm stuck with a
white elephant after paying Adobe up front for a whole year. They
should at least offer me a refund. -
Long delay when trying to save print as PDF
For some reason, there is a long delay, usually up to five minutes, before the system will allow me to save a print as a PDF. I ran disk utility and no issues arose. Anyone know why this is happening?
HI,
Make sure there is enough free space on the startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.

Because I listened to Adobe earlier today about whither uninstalling Elements would affect Photoshop and Lightroom on my computer, Lightroom no longer sees Photoshop in the EDIT IN Menu of Lightroom. I found an article on the help site saying to delete the filecom.adobe.Photoshop.plist, which I looked for, its not there so it can't be deleted. The next step is to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall. This isn't an option because of all the plug-ins and modifications of the work space. Does any one have a better solution?

Bridge CS4 has LONG delay in opening the first image
Photoshop CS4 upgrade was my Christmas present this year. I've been fighting this annoying "problem" ever since then...
I DO see this "problem" on my desktop PC, which is a Dell XPS-400 PC (with 2 GB of memory) running Windows XP (Media Center Edition) with SP3 installed. I DO NOT see this "problem" on my laptop, which is a Dell XPS-1530 (4 GB of memory) running Windows Vista SP1. I installed the Photoshop CS4 software exactly the same way on both machines, and I have the preferences set the same in both Photoshop and Bridge (and Camera Raw) on both machines.
Here's the situation: I first open Photoshop CS4 and then click on the Bridge icon in the Application Bar to open Bridge. When I use Bridge to open a photo, by either double-clicking the thumbnail, or right-clicking on the thumbnail and choose "Open" from the context menu, there is a 42 second delay before Photoshop opens the file. This long delay only occurs when opening the very first file.
Once that first image file is opened, double-clicking any thumbnail in Bridge will have it open in Photoshop CS4 in about 2 seconds. There will never be another long delay in having Bridge pass a file to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) again - until I close the applications and restart them. Once I restart the applications, the first photo takes 42 seconds to open....
This delay does not occur in opening the first image file if I right-click on the thumbnail in Bridge CS4 and choose "Open With" and manually choose Photoshop CS4.
Even if that is how I open the first (or several) image file(s), the first time I try to open a file from Bridge by double-clicking on a thumbnail (or right-click on a thumbnail and choose "Open") there will be that annoying 42 second delay before it opens.
It does not matter what the file format the first image file is (JPG, PSD, TIFF, or DNG), or what the file format of any subsequent image file is. As long as I do not close the Bridge and Photoshop applications, any subsequent file will be passed from Bridge to Photoshop in only a couple of seconds.
I have manually set the File Name Extensions in Windows XP, and in the Preferences in Bridge. Both have been set to open the file types listed above with Photoshop CS4.
I have uninstalled CS4, and have used two seperate Registry cleaners (CCleaner and jv16 Power Tools) before re-installing Photoshop CS4. This had no effect on this situation. I've run "chkdsk C: /r" several times, with no problems reported.
I have been searching through these forums for over 2 weeks now, and I have not seen anyone else report such a problem. I use my XP desktop much more than my Vista laptop, so I'd really like to fix this situation, but I don't know what else to try.
Gregg MackDon,
Thanks for all of your suggestions. I tried them all, but the problem remains exactly as it was. To properly document my efforts:
In Bridge's Preferences, I Purged and Compacted the Bridge Cache, then changed it's location to D:\Bridge_Cache (D:\ is a second physical internal SATA drive).
I can not tell the exact size the Cache is set to, but the slider in Bridge's Preference is very close to the left end (10,000) of the slider.
The Windows Page File is set to 3072 MB min and 4096 max, and it is entirely on the D:\ drive. (I have 2GB of physical RAM in the PC.)
I defragmented the C:\ drive using Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier, and even ran a Boot Time Defrag.
Rather than set some exclusions for Norton Anti-Virus, I jsut disbled that Virus checking program for all of my experiments.
I deleted the Bridge Preference File by holding down the Ctrl key as Bridge was restarted.
I even deleted the entire contents of the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. I then rebooted the PC - twice. I then re-disabled Norton Anti-Virus.
The PC is approaching 3 years of age, but it is a 3.2 GHz Pentium D machine with 2 GB of RAM and two internal SATA drives. Every other application that I run on this machine responds reponsively. Again it is only the FIRST image file that I have Bridge hand off to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) that takes forever. The second and subsequent image files take a second or two.... That doesn't sound like it's an "old hardware" problem to me.
I'm willing to try anything else that you, or anyone else would like to suggest.
Thanks

This began several days ago and seems to be a problem in Firefox. I did download an update recently but don't thjink the problem developped simultaneously. When I used the computer's feature of resetting the computer to a prior day (May 19, before the update) I could not get Firefox to open at all. So I undid the reset but typing in Firefox is very difficult due to the extremely long delay in the letters I'm typing showing up.
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

How to generate transparent preview of the document?
Hi all,
I would like to generate trsansparent preview of an document in PNG file. Normal (not-transparent preview) I am doing by JavaScript like it is described below:
var myDocument = app.open(File(app.scriptArgs.getValue("documentPath")));
myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.jpg, File(app.scriptArgs.getValue("thumbnailPath")), PDFExportPreset.acrobatCompatibility);
myDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
The result is normal JPG file. But I would like to get a transparent image. How can I do this?
Thank you for all information!Hmm could you give any example of code? According to the scripting reference there is nothing like "ExportFormat.PNG_FORMAT" - I cannot even find this in Google. On official Adobe webpage in the scripting reference I can find:

and this is all (http://www.indesignscriptingreference.com/CS3/JavaScript/ExportFormat-enum.htm). When I am trying to use the code on a group of objects, it is failing. The code:
var myDocument = app.documents.add();
myDocument.pages.item(0).place(File(app.scriptArgs.getValue("snippetPath")));
g = myDocument.pages.item(0).groups.add (myDocument.pages.item(0).allPageItems);
g.exportFile(ExportFormat.PNG_FORMAT, File(app.scriptArgs.getValue("pngThumbnailPath")), PDFExportPreset.acrobatCompatibility);
myDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
And the error:
