LR 4.1RC2 bug reports: 1) no saving of video metadata 2) out of place dynamiclinkmediaserver folder

Hi,
testing LR 4.1 RC2 x64 on a fresh Win 7 x64 system. Having noticed two bugs, I'm not sure where to report them... (and there is no official or Adobe-endorsed bug tracking system afaik).
1b)
I have a bunch of digicam videos from my Panasonic LX3, originally in Mjpeg-in-Mov format, that I convert to vanilla h264 avi for more ease of use/saving storage space. Each video comes with an out-of-camera low-res Jpeg sidecar.
Having imported the converted avi + jpeg into the LR catalog, it appears that metadata can be saved neither in the videos nor in the Jpeg sidecars. As a side-effect, videos permanently appear as "Metadata unsaved" in various LR filters/smart collections.
1b)
after import, the capture date of these videos is set to the converted file creation date (probably due to the lack of embedded capture date metadata in videos) which is wrong - there has to be a better solution than assuming filesystem stamps are reliable metadata.
And of course, here again this metadata can not be edited & saved. A tricky workaround is to read the capture date from the sidecar, set with a commandline utility the creation date of the video file, then import the video file.
Please consider fixing these two points: by allowing to read metadata first from videos, and if metadata missing, from companion sidecars (xmp, jpg...), then allowing to save edited metadata to these sidecar files (xmp, jpg...) if video files are not writable or their metadata too tricky to manage. Although not foolproof, that'd be better than no metadata capabilities for videos at all.
(Or perhaps allow users to permanently disable the video/Quicktime part of the software, leaving it to other third-part tools or the OS)
2)
Upon using LR 4 RC2, some "Adobe\dynamiclinkserver\6.0" empty directory tree is created under %User%\Documents. If deleted, the folder gets recreated after later use of LR4. Guess it relates to the video-management part of the software.
Please consider fixing this or, if such a folder is really needed, placing it out of the users' Documents...
(Or perhaps allow users to permanently disable the video/Quicktime part of the software, leaving it to other third-part tools or the OS)
• As a sidenote, LR 4.1RCs still complain about the incompatibility with Photoshop CS5.5. Not sure if there's any easy fix for this annoying fact, besides installing some trial Adobe PS CS6 [beta] on top of a fully-working CS 5.5 Suite.

Re video metadata not getting saved, please add your vote and opinion to this topic in the official forum for giving feedback to Adobe:

Bug Report: Shortcuts for Adjustments in 3.1

I have verified that bug with a brand new test account (Aperture 3.1 and OS 10.6.4 with latest Pro Update):
- Make an adjustment to an NEF-file
- save that adjustment as a preset
- assign a keyboard shortcut to that specific adjustment
Switch to the next NEF-file and make your usual adjustments:
- initiate that shortcut to apply the already saved preset/adjustment
All of a sudden, all already applied adjustments are set back to defaults!!!!
To sum up:
Shortcuts are presently not useable!
Bug Report was filed!
Any observations???

I got it myself. My shortcut combination contained the option key. That causes AP to replace any adjustments already made to the image. You have to use a keyboard short cut combination without the option key.
The question is, why AP 3.1 is not smart enough to refuse such a combination??? In version 3.0.x everything worked fine!!!

FAQ: I found a bug. How do I write a useful bug report? Or send bug files to Adobe?

If you think you've found a bug in Photoshop CS6, please post your findings here on the forums.
Here is a list of the information we'll want for you to gather at a minimum:
Clear and concise steps so that someone who isn't in front of your comptuer can reproduce the issue you are seeing
Include information on the operating system/version you are running. (e.g. "Mac OS 10.7.3" or "Win XP Service Pack 3")
Here are some more detailed instructions for writing a useful, complete bug report for us on the forums:
Provide a descriptive title that includes your OS information:Example: "Photoshop crashes when I save a JPEG file using the File>Save For Web & Devices... command (Mac OS 10.7.3)"
Provide concise, step-by-step details on how to reproduce the issue you are seeing.
Example:
Open an 8-bit, RGB image by selecting File>Open...
Create a new layer by clicking the "Create New Layer" button on the bottom of the Layers panel
Paint on the layer created in Step #2 using the default Brush tool
Choose File>Save For Web & Devices...
Make sure the optimized format is set to "JPEG" and set the Quality setting to "80"
Click the Save button at the bottom of the Save For Web & Devices dialog, choose the desktop as the location for saving the file
Provide a description of the "Result" you are observing:
Example: "Result: Photoshop crashes"
If there is an error dialog, please include the exact wording displayed in the dialog or provide a screen shot or video of the entire screen so we can see the dialog as well as the state of the application - i.e. what panels are shown, the state of the Layers panel, etc.
If the error is a visual defect, either in the user interface or the image itself, provide a screen shot or video of the entire screen so we can see the dialog as well as the state of the application - i.e. what panels are shown, the state of the Layers panel, etc.
Provide a description of the "Expected Result":
Example: "Expected Result: Photoshop to save JPEG file to the desktop, no crash"
In some cases this may be obvious (such as in the case of a crash) but in others, what you expect to happen may be different than what the application was designed to do. Please be as specific as possible.
Provide the crash log by submitting all crash reports, including your email address, for every single crash your encounter:
You may also include the contents of your crash log in your forum posts as well, but always submit them using the above instructions as well.
Crash logs are located on Macintosh here: Users/<your user name>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
Provide your System Info from Photoshop: What's even more useful is if you can share your System Info from Photoshop as it contains all kinds of useful information (OS/version, graphics card, driver version, 3rd party plug-ins used, etc) that will help the team track down your issue.
On occasion, the Photoshop engineers may request that you provide problematic files in order to reproduce and debug your issue.
In these cases, please post the file somewhere using your own servers or one your favorite online document/distribution services and provide a URL/instructions to download the file:
Dropbox
Adobe SendNow
YouSendIt
If the file isn't something you can post publically, you can request that someone from the engineering team contact you to figure out a secure way to get the affected files.
Thanks,
The Photoshop Development Team

First thing would be to realise the exact error. Second would be to check your logs to see what you have installed/upgraded which might be causing this error. Third, google your error and see if matches turn up. Fourth, search in Arch bugtracker to see if a match exist. Else file a report.

HTML Snippet widget bug report.

Dear Apple iWeb 08 Engineers.
I didn't know where to send this bug report and so I have resorted to this forum. I hope it gets to you somehow.
When creating a simple HTML Snippet in a page it seems that the piece of code that refers to the newly created widget in the .html for the page has a bug in it. For example, I have a page on my website called "Animation"; it has a simple HTML Snippet the code for which has been tested (by viewing the file widget0_markup.html in a browser). In Animation.html the following line appears
<iframe id="widget0-frame" src=".//Animationfiles/widget0markup.html" frameborder="0" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
Surely the pathname in the "src" option is in error (what the **** is .//?). If I change it to ./ by hand then everything works. Please change this asap, because at the moment I have to go into every page and change it by hand after publishing.
Many thanks, Marvin.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid that I'm not convinced.
In all the flavours of unix that I've ever used ./ is the current directory, ../ is the parent directory and ../../ is the grandparent directory (not .// as you suggest). In any case, the path name of source file in question is ./Animationfiles/widget0markup.html (assuming the code in question is in the file Animation.html) and so going up the tree into the grandparent directory is not what you want to do anyway; the directory Animation_files is always in the same directory as Animation.html and the file widget0_markup.html is saved, by iWeb upon publication, in the directory ./Animation_files.
In short, I still think it's a bug, but thanks for the advice; I apologise if I am wrong.
Marvin.

BUG report - Inconsistent IR settings in Builder

Apex 4.0.2
Most of the reports used in the App Builder have been converted to use Interactive reports which is great. But I find that the IR settings are not consistent across all the reports. I had reported this during the tryapexnow.com beta phase. Now that we can use the new apex_application_install API to load up the Builder apps into our own workpace so we can review how they are built, the Region Utilities > Update Interactive Report Settings page shows this. Or just run the query
select
page_id, name, allow_save_rpt_public, show_finder_drop_down, show_display_row_count, show_search_bar, show_search_textbox, show_actions_menu, show_select_columns, show_rows_per_page, show_filter, show_sort, show_control_break, show_highlight, show_computation, show_aggregate, show_chart, show_notify, show_group_by, show_calendar, show_flashback, show_reset, show_download, show_help
from apex_040000.wwv_flow_worksheets
where flow_id=4000My main annoyance is the "Save Report Public" checkbox. The IR saved report list shouldn't be cluttered with all the report settings saved by all the workspace developers.

Where to send bug reports?

Can someone give me an address where i can send bug reports? I mean email or specific web address.
Recently i updated my E70, and now i cannot listen music or watch movies.. the volume is so low that when someone speaks to me even if I'm wearing headphones (stereo from n70) i cannot hear the music. Not to mention playing movies - i have to be in bed - in COMPLETELY quiet enviorment to be able to understand what they are speaking. That was not a issue before the update, and I can say that I was really happy with the sound quality then (ok this can be a marketing move to sell your music phones, but is it necessary to cripple a already working phone?).
here is list of other bugs:
occasionally when i try to print large images and text, or press print preview i get out of memory errors.
if i set headers and footers to off and resize the margins of the document i still get "header and footer not in bounds" error when i try to print or preview
once in 30-40 times when i save word document in the native application the file is saved, but when i try to open it I get an error, when I transfer the file to the pc I cant open it there as well because it is corrupted - this is REALLY annoying because i use the phone to enter really important meeting notes, and or dictations at the university
there should be tool to switch to landscape mode like e60 one
it will be good if we can download additional writing languages to the phone - the language files are saved in the ram folder, and it will be really nice if we can add others to internal memory folder as well - I'm using Bulgarian version of the phone yet i don't even have Cyrillic ...
Nokia supports
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: 176,208
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: 352,416
which is used to change the resolution of java games and programs, but this has to be added to every single jar file - there should be a way (maybe in application manager) to set this setting to every program we want. And i think there should be a way to change the resolution of sis games and programs as well, i don't know how the resolution is realized in symbian but there should be a way to switch it.
there should be boost microphone in camera settings
ctrl+c, ctrl+v,ctrl+x,ctrl+b are working but ctrl+a doesn't select all
Please give me contact details to someone that can actually look into these bugs and suggestions.
Thanks

Solaris8 and 9 (possibly 7) /dev/poll driver bug report.

Hello,
I'd like to report a bug in the solaris 8 and 9 /dev/poll driver (poll(7d)).
As i do not have a support account with sun or anything like that, there
seems to be no other way to do that here (which is of course a very sad
thing).
Bug details:
The /dev/poll device provides an ioctl-request (DP_ISPOLLED) for checking
if a particular filedescriptor is currently in the set of monitored
filedescriptors for that particular /dev/poll fd set (open /dev/poll fd).
A quote from the documentation of the poll(7d) manual page taken from
Solaris9:
"DP_ISPOLLED ioctl allows you to query if a file descriptor is already in
the monitored set represented by fd. The fd field of the pollfd structure
indicates the file descriptor of interest. The DP_ISPOLLED ioctl returns 1
if the file descriptor is in the set. The events field contains the
currently polled events. The revents field contains 0. The ioctl returns 0
if the file descriptor is not in the set. The pollfd structure pointed by
pfd is not modified. The ioctl returns a -1 if the call fails."
It says that when you query for an filedescriptor which is currently being
monitored in the set, that it would return 1, and change the events field of
the pollfd structure to the events it's currently monitoring that fd for.
The revents field would be set to zero.
However the only thing which actually happens here, is that FD_ISPOLLED
returns 1 when the fd is in the set and 0 if not. When the fd is in the
set, when FD_ISPOLLED returns 1, the events field remains unmodified, but
the revents field gets changed.
A small sample code to illustrate:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/devpoll.h>
main() {
struct pollfd a;
int dp_fd = open("/dev/poll", O_WRONLY);
a.fd = 0; /* stdin */
a.events = POLLIN; /* we monitor for readability, POLLIN=1 */
a.revents = 0;
write(dp_fd, &a, sizeof(a));
a.fd = 0;
a.events = 34; /* filled in with bogus number to show malfunctioning */
a.revents = 0;
printf("DP_ISPOLLED returns: %d\n", ioctl(dp_fd, DP_ISPOLLED, &a));
printf("a.fd=%d, a.events=%hd, a.revents=%hd\n", a.fd, a.events,
a.revents);
According to the documentation of /dev/poll and namely DP_ISPOLLED this
program is supposed to print the following:
DP_ISPOLLED returns: 1
a.fd=0, a.events=1, a.revents=0
However it prints the following:
DP_ISPOLLED returns: 1
a.fd=0, a.events=34, a.revents=1
You can take any number instead of '34' and it will simply remain untouched
after the DP_ISPOLLED ioctl-request.
I hope it's clear now that the solaris8 and solaris9 (and probably solaris7
with /dev/poll patch too) DP_ISPOLLED implementation is broken.
This bug is also easily illustrated by looking at the solaris8 kernel sourcecode:
<snippet osnet_volume/usr/src/uts/common/io/devpoll.c:dpioctl()>
case DP_ISPOLLED:
pollfd_t pollfd;
polldat_t *pdp;
if (pollfd.fd < 0) {
mutex_exit(&pcp->pc_lock);
break;
pdp = pcache_lookup_fd(pcp, pollfd.fd);
if ((pdp != NULL) && (pdp->pd_fd == pollfd.fd) &&
(pdp->pd_fp != NULL)) {
pollfd.revents = pdp->pd_events;
if (copyout(&pollfd, (caddr_t)arg,
sizeof(pollfd_t))) {
mutex_exit(&pcp->pc_lock);
DP_REFRELE(dpep);
return (set_errno(EFAULT));
*rvalp = 1;
</snippet>
its' clearly visible that the code writes the current monitored events to
the revents field:
'pollfd.revents = pdp->pd_events;'
and that it doesnt set revents to zero.
It's funny to see that this has been like this since Solaris8 (possibly 7). That means nobody ever used DP_ISPOLLED that way or people were simply to lazy to file a bug report.
Another funny thing related to this. is that Hewlett-Packard did seem to know about this. Since HP-UX11i version 1.6 they also support /dev/poll. From their manual page i ll quote some sentences from their WARNING session:
"The ioctl(DP_ISPOLLED) system call also returns its result in the revents member of the pollfd structure, in order to be compatible with the implementation of the /dev/poll driver by some other vendors."
Hopefully this will get fixed.
I also like to reexpress my very negative feelings towards the fact that you're not able to file bug reports when you do not have a support contract. Ridiculous.
Thanks,
bighawk

Have I mentioned how much i love my playbook now Great job on os 2.0

Did you know that Google toolbar doesn't work properly in FF rc1? I have filed a bug report to Google about this

The Google toolbar doesn't recognize a left mouse click when selecting a 'suggestion'. It's OK using the keyboard, however. I have filed a bug report with Google, but as this is an important extension thought you should know.

Bug Report: The keyboard focus doesn't automatical...

Bug Report: When a conversation window opens, the focus doesn't automatically land in the chat entry text field.
Since the new interface for Skype was introduced officially in Skype 7.0, there is a bug with the system/keyboard focus for a new conversation window. When Skype is in "Split Window View" and each new conversation automatically pops up in a separate window, the system/keyboard focus doesn't land in the chat entry edit field. Instead, the user has to press Shift+TAB a couple of times, to move it there and reply to the chat message received. This especially problematic for screen reader users, who rely on keyboard navigation. This mainly occurs when a new conversation is started with an incoming message, but it sometimes occurs when moving the focus out of that conversation window and later back in it again (while it is still opened).
Steps to reproduce it:
1. From "View" menu, activate the "Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
2. From Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS -> IM settings, enable "Open a new window when I receive a new message in Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
3. From Tools -> Options -> Advanced, activate "Enable accessible mode", if it is not already enabled.
4. Activate the "Save" button, to save the changes.
5. Close all windows, related to Skype. You may keep only the main window opened.
6. Tell someone to send you a chat message. When the message arrives, Move the system focus to the conversation window in question, preferably with Alt+TAB. The system/keyboard will not land in the chat entry edit field as it did in Skype 6.21 and earlier and as it should by default, but in some unknown place in the window.
7. Move the system/keyboard focus in the chat entry edit field and keep it there.
8. Switch to another window, preferably from another application.
9. With Alt+TAB, switch back to the window of the opened Skype conversation. There is a chance that the system/keyboard focus will not land in the chat entry edit field as it did in Skype 6.21 and earlier and as it should do by default, but again in some unknown place in the conversation window. But that is harder to reproduce.
Test environment:
- Operating system: Windows 8.1 Pro N, 64-bit, in Bulgarian with all locale settings set to "Bulgarian".
- Skype version: 7.0.0.102 for Desktop.

This is a known problem, but Skype have not given us an estimated time for a fix.
Traditionally, Skype updates have been roughly monthly, so we are due a new version sometime soon. Many of us here are hoping that is has a bunch of fixes for the UI, the focus problem being one of them.

Bug report: Naming a Bin after creating it with drag'n'drop

There seems to be a small bug when giving a newly created bin a name after creating it by drag'n'drop of several clips onto the "New Bin" icon.
To reproduce:
Select some clips in your project browser
Drag them onto the New Bin button
A new bin is created with the clips in it
- the bin name for it appears to be selected, and editable - just as if you had created a new empty bin by clicking the New Bin button
- type in a new name - it accepts the name fine, now press enter.
- your new name disappears, and *now* you are really in the mode to edit the bin name
- type your name again, and it works.
Work around:
When creating new bins by using drag'n'drop of clips onto the New Bin button, first press enter once to enter into the proper edit mode before giving the bin a new name.
(is there a better place to file bug reports?)

Bug report: 3.2; DAC; GridControl; Navigation - Invalid reaction to mouse drag

Hi,
This is a bug report, I think.
I have a one-column GridControl with mandatory column. Normally, DAC framework prohibits from navigation out of empty field and emits one of those DAC-1002 or DAC-603 errors. The only exception I noticed was a double-click on another row. In this case navigation allowed but an error is still produced.
Today I was playing with this GridControl and discovered that I can drag the yellow frame across rows. And here comes a bug - GridControl doesn't change the current row on InfoBus according to current selection marked by yellow frame.
In my case it brings the following problem: if the cursor is placed on the new empty row, user drags the cursor to another row and then tries to use any other navigation means except dragging, he gets a navigation error. DAC framework still thinks that the current row is the empty one and produces an error telling that the attribute cannot be empty.
Dev Team, any comments?
Regards,
Vladimir

Hmm... Nobody answers. I'll try another variation of the same question.
DAC framework implicitly validates attributes on the base of Mandatory constraint in the Entity Object definition. Is it possible to set the level of this validation? For example, I want to conduct validation only when user navigates out of the row or the whole rowset, but not when he just leaves a field.
Regards,
Vladimir

Bug report: vpn (ipsec) interface number in snmp always change

Hi,
this is a bug report for RV082 hardware version 3 and 4, firmware version 1.x, 2.x and 4.x (all latest versions). I hope someone from cisco/belkin reads it.
Summary:
The snmp interface number of a VPN Tunnel change when the VPN tunnel disconnect and then re-connects.
What should happend:
The VPN Tunnel number 1, should always have the same snmp interface number. In RV082 v4, this number should always be 10. For example, the LAN, WAN1 and WAN2 always have the same snmp interface number.
What is the problem:
The VPN Tunnel number 1 change the snmp interface number, from 10, to 11, to 12, etc.
How to reproduce:
create a VPN Tunnel using 2 RV082 or 1 RV082 and 1 RV042. Once the VPN Tunnel is connected write down the snmp interface number. A few days later, disconnect the cable of block internet access. Then restore the internet conection and write down the snmp interface number, you should note that the snmp interface number have changed.
Tools used:
PRTG Network Monitor
Please take a look at the attached image, note all the "ppp" interfaces, theres only 1 VPN Tunnel (gateway-to-gateway) defined.

Hi Tom,
many thanks for your reply.
I see that I have to call Tech-support, in order to report a very technical situation, explaining them this is a bug report and I want them to make a better product.
Since I won't pay a dime for this problem to be fixed, I can only see pain in this path(calling to speak with a tech support representative).
I also readed that Belkin has bought Linksys, so I don't know if the RV082 will remain with Cisco or will go with Belkin.
So, my only hope is to document this bug, that is pressent inall firmware version and hardware version of the RV082 as of today.
many thanks for your help,
regards,
Oliver
