Misleading Vertex position info in the info panel

If anyone is at all interested, the vertex position information provided in the info panel is in a coordinate space relative to the current zoom of the currently active composition viewport, not the coordinate space of the composition.
So if your composition is 512x512 pix and you're at 200% zoom in the comp viewer you're going to see coordinates within this space of your vertex position in terms of a 1024x1024 space. Similarly, at 400% zoom you're now in a coordinate space of 2048x2048 for the vertices of your path objects, but NOT for the info panels reporting of your current mouse positioning.
You will therefore not have true pixel precision available to you for vertex movement unless you divide whatever coordinates you see by the rate of zoom, or work at 100% zoom.
Is this in the documentation anywhere?
Is this a feature, or a remnant of a finer nudge feature?
Anyway to turn on pixel snapping for a zoomed in view when moving vertices of a path, shape or mask?

It works as it always has/ is designed. Same answer as your otehr post: If you need precision, use Illustrator.

XMP data not showing up in the custom file info panels when upgraded to CC

For several versions of Photoshop, I have been able to use a modified custom file info panel to input, update, and track psd files. With each version of photoshop there are always some changes in the way the object data is handled. The lastest challenge is:
1. XMP data not showing up in the custom file info panels when upgraded CC from CS6.
2. Raw data is not visible in CC in the File info panel.
3. This occurs in new documents where we create the xmp wrapper while the file template is built.
4. When metadata is manually entered into the file, the data is not added to the XMP wrapper when it is recreated on the save.
5. When a file that was created in CS6 is opened that contains the Metadata in the file info template. It is visible. the Raw data is also visible. Once the XMP wrapper is recreated - write and then close. The data is no longer available. the Raw data will not pull up in the file info panel.
Any feedback or a direction will be appreciated.

I have a script that the user runs to input xmp data into a Customized version of the generic file info panel. it is data that is gathered from the user when the psd file is created. once the file is open in photoshop. the information is visible in the File info panel , the raw data, and as a schema addition in the advanced tab.
in CC the nodes and the children of the XMP packet have changed positions. so that the XML -this.XMP.child(0).appendChild(this.createNode())
is no longer the node that can be appended.
Where XML.child(0).elements().length(); would enable the xmlns to be added in CS6
<rdf:Description xmlns:phsa="' + this.namespace + '" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" rdf:about="" />'
it is visible in CC as namespace in a different arrangement. XML.child(0).child(0).namespaceDeclarations().toString()) and the children are XML.child(0).child(0).elements().length().toString()); There are now 7 child nodes where before there were 1.
with all shifted, the initialize of the values and the delete XMP packet wrapper and create new or the amend to the XMP packet wrapper is undefined.

Yahoo e-mail page is distorted and hard to read (once in a while its OK) - box does not extend to the right side making e-mail info hard to read. Info displayed in the reading panel is OK.

When I open the Yahoo email page, the box does not extend across the screen and the script is distorted making it hard to read the source, subject etc. The reading panel info reads OK. All other pages of Yahoo are not distorted.

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

Displaying both pixel and inch dimesnsion in the Info Panel

Anybody else constantly switching the Info Panel from displaying inches to pixels and vice versa?
How to avoid having to do this? I either want to see one or the other, somtimes being able to see both simultaneously would be nice. While dragging out Rectangular Marquees, doing Transforms, etc.

I actually installed the trial of Flash Builder but did not get far before it expired, so I can only share Silkrooster’s suspicion that it may be possible.

In the Info panel, how do I display pixel values as values, not as percentages?

I'm trying to show, using the eye dropper tool, the actual values of pixels in an 8-bit grayscale image (Mode command confirms that's what's there). In the Info panel, the eye dropper tool displays percentages for every type of color information (K, CMYK), while the "8-bit" field remains blank.
I've looked at Properties and pretty much everything else that I can find with no luck.

Noel,
Thanks for your reply. I thought this had been fixed by recreating the Preferences file, but this morning I was back to percentages. I did have different settings in the Info Panel from the ones in your very helpful picture, and after I changed mine to match yours I now see 0-255 values in the R, G, B settings when using the eyedropper on this grayscale image.
Instead of RGB Color for the First Color Readout I had "Actual Color". This by itself causes percentages to be displayed. All options for the Second Color Readout all seem to produce percentages.
"Actual Color" is what I normally use for the first readout. In the case of a Grayscale document, it will display a K (black) value. For a RGB image, it will display R,G and B values. And so on.
When 8-bit is chosen for the value format, we expect a value of 0..255 to be displayed. As you know, that works fine for the RGB readout, but a Grayscale readout displays a percentage instead.
So if you set one of the readouts to RGB and 8-bit, you can get 0..255 values to be displayed for your Grayscale document.
When the document is Grayscale, the RGB values are a conversion from the document colour space to the RGB working space as defined in Edit > Color Settings. To get the true values of the pixels, the Grayscale document profile and RGB working space must be complementary (for lack of a better word). That's why, in my first reply, I said to use the following combinations:
Doc with sGray profile and RGB working space of sRGB.
Doc with Gray Gamma 2.2 profile and RGB working space of Adobe RGB.

Get the document info panel details

I need to get the document info panel (Windows>Document Info) details through scripting in illustrator cs3. Kindly advice me is it possible or not.

I think sample code in the SDK contains a 'skeleton' plugin, I'd start with that. It should also provide a list of suites that get automatically loaded, I think it's in Suites.h. Just make sure AIDocumentSuite is in the list, and if it's not, just follow the examples in that file to add it. That should end up with a global variable called 'sDocument', which has all the suite functions as methods.
Then it's something like:
AIDocumentSetup setup;
AIErr error = sDocument->GetDocumentSetup(&setup);
// check error to make sure it's kNoErr
Then you just have to inspect the setup struct for (hopefully) the answers you're looking for.

I have awks documents that have a dark icon which says 'exec' in the info panel. I get 'I/O error' when I open. They were created in Awks 6 but in 96-98 so they have transversed many OSs. Tried the Apple recovery technique, no luck.

Adding to the "any stunt you can think of" list. If you're not concerned with formatting and the documents are primarily text, open them in TextEdit. After a page or two of indecipherable code, you'll see the textual meat of the file, followed by more code. The text portion itself is often fairly readable, even if the file is damaged.

Rosetta 'checkbox' is not in the Quicken 2007 info panel

Which one is right? The colour picker or the info panel?

Try this one out at home kids:
Set your colour picker to Greyscale and dial 25% K into your foreground colour swatch.
Now, in a new, RGB document, fill that document with your foreground colour.
Now open the Info palette, set one of your readouts to "Greyscale" and enjoy seeing it read 31% K.
Uh.
WTF?
My RGB readout reads 192 across all channels, which is correct: 192 / 256 = 75% (additive) = 25% (subtractive)
This probably has something to do with colour management, but could someone A) explain to me what is happening, and B) tell me how to set it so I can get mathematically predictable results?

I'm not trying to argue...well, I am - but if you could explain precisely what you're after I'm sure it's doable.
Dag, did you go through the exact sequence he put up in the first post?
The issue is that we seem to be able to set the absolute numbers for RGB in the COLOR panel (made visible through the Window - Color) menu via choosing Grayscale and a %K value - in this case 25% sets color (192, 192, 192). It sets these values no matter what profile the document is using.
When that color is used on any old document, the profile is involved with reading back the number in the %K portion of the info panel.
No profile is involved with setting the number (because this operation doesn't involve a document), a profile IS involved with reading the number from a document. That difference is at the root of the issue Tom is sensing, I think.
My comment about Photoshop being developed on a Mac... Note that with a profile carrying gamma 1.8, Photoshop DOES make the numbers match., probably owing to a hard-coded gamma correction in the logic of the info panel. It might be more reasonable for it to just use the gamma derived from the profile, or just do a conversion to linear space first, but then that would change the way Photoshop works, and Adobe appears to have a policy of "keep it very consistent with past releases, so everything still works".

Customize the Custom File Info Panels ... how to?

Oh no! There are SWF files all over the place in Custom File Info Panels 2.0 (i. e. CS4) where plain old XML files used to be. I desperately need to add a few editable metadata entry fields to the File Info Panels. In CS3, that was easy. How am I supposed to do the same in CS4?

i I want a pint of beer!
Sorry, Adobeer has abandoned the concept of canned beer. If you want a beer then from now on you have to install, and to run, your own brewery in your backyard. For this purpose, Adobeer provides the new BDK (beer development kit). Of course, in order to use it, you first have to install the CSDK (construction site development kit) and the BMDK (barley-to-malt development kit), to be obtained from elsewhere.
i Huh ... barley? Malt?
Hey, do you really think you're entitled to have a beer when you don't know how to turn barley into malt, malt into mash, and mash into beer?
i I don't want my own brewery but just a pint of beer!
Hey, you just don't understand how great it is to brew your own, stupid.

The info panel

Hello everyone,
I use iCal a lot (in OS X 10.4.11) and have noticed that in 10.5 and 10.6 the 'permanent' info panel has disappeared.
Does anyone know if you can get it back?
I often need to see my entire month's calendar as well as the details of one specific event so having it is very useful.
Cheers for any help.

Is there a way to place a button on the front panel that when clicked gives a pop up dialog box with more info in it?

Hi Everyone,
The simulations that I am creating are very simple themselves but are intended for use in a classroom setting to help students learn more about the theory being demonstrated. I am hoping to be able to place a "Help" or "more info" button on the front panel so that if a student wants more info about the theory they can click on it and a pop up appears with background info on it. It should also have a second button to close it and return to the main front panel again. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use an event structure on the main vi that when the button is clicked, launches a "Help" sub vi. Inside the sub vi (with the properties set to load front panel when called of course), use another event structure to wait for the button of the subVI to be clicked so you can return to the main VI. Do you need help with using event structures?

My users folder has 140GB used on it, but I cannot find where it is getting that calculation. I went through all of my folders and opened them all in an info panel, and they all come out to about 30GBs. Where is the rest of the data? -Using Mountain Lion

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then drag or copy — do not type — into the Terminal window:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Press return. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Having the info panel open with curves open

Hi,
Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I usually set my white and black points using curves. Set the points then go to curves and adjust the points with the RGB channels. In PS CC, I cannot seem to have the curves and info panel open at the same time. Anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thank you,
Jim

Hi, c.pfaffenbichler, Here is a screenshot of the curves properties panel open. I would like to see the info panel open at the same time so I can drag the point on the curve to specific values of R,G and B. If I click on the info tab in this curves panel the info comes up but I do not see the curves properties anymore. I want to be able to see both open at the same time.
Thank you,
Jim

Problems with the Info panel not closing, and constantly flashing.

For some reason my info panel will not stay closed, and it just keeps flashing.

The GPU is the Graphics Processor Unit, i.e. your graphic or video card.
There are some advanced graphic preferences in Photoshop that can be set not to attempt to use the GPU for computations.
If you had posted what platform you are on, Mac or Win, we could direct you to the precise location.
