Missing text / thumbnails / many Lightroom UI elements disappeared

Hi. I run LR 1.1 on Mac OS X. A few days ago, when I launched Lightroom, I noticed something very weird: all the thumbnails in Grid view were empty. The cells are there, but no badges, text, or image thumbnail.
Looking more closely, I see that other UI elements are missing:
- the area that normally shows current folder and # of selected images, between the back/forward arrows and the filters above the filmstrip, is empty (if I click on it, I do get the "Recent Sources" menu
- the area around the navigator is empty; I'm not 100% sure but I don't think it used to be
- in Develop module, the History panel is visually empty (but there are items in it, just invisible; if I click them they do what they should)
And finally: back to the missing thumbnail in Grid view. If I have any cell extras _above_ the thumbnail, the entire cell is empty. If I turn off the header/top cell extra (in either compact or expanded), then the thunbnail shows up, and badges show up, and (if applicable) ratings/rotation buttons/whatever I asked for shows up. But in no case does any text show up. Again, summarized: all the text is missing from each cell, and if I opted for anything whatsoever as "top label" (in compact) or "show header with labels" (in expanded), the entire cell is wholly empty.
I tried reinstalling LR a few times; no change.
Anyone see this before, or can suggest anything I should try for troubleshooting or fixes?

I see other people having this problem on Windows as well:

Missing text in many programs - Rox, Thunar, Deluge, etc [SOLVED]

Hi all,
I'm having a very confusing problem. Basically, text is just missing from certain programs. Here are a few quick examples:
Thunar:
Rox:
Deluge:
It's very strange. First of all, this just started happening recently, and I don't think after an update or anything. But I know "it just randomly started happening" is a dumb thing to say.
Here is the info I think could be useful:
-I have the ttf-freefont package and the xorg-font family of packages
-I have updated and restarted since this happened; nothing has changed
-The filenames look perfect if I just list them in the terminal (no newlines or anything)
-The filenames that have disappeared aren't anything special, it's seemingly random (no weird characters in them)
-The icons are totally fine
-All the things with missing text are still totally functional if I use them
-I thought this was a file manager issue, but it happening in Deluge too, so nope
-I downloaded and tried Nautilus, same deal, but some files had random words from their name appear. Just as bad basically though
-I also downloaded and tried Midnight Commander (a text based file manager) and everything is perfectly fine in it
Any suggestions? This is very mysterious, and driving me nuts.
Thanks!!
Edit: To clarify, in the Thunar and Rox pictures I just took screenshots of a small portion of a folder. In the Deluge pictures, in the first one those 3 blank looking buttons in that menu should have more words (like "Remove Torrent"), and in the second one, those + and - buttons should also have text.

Cairo 1.12 was just moved into [extra], so chances are this bug will reappear the next time you -Syu. If you're running Nouveau drivers, then the underlying cause of your issue might be this bug:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29495
If this is indeed your issue, then you need to install the xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_git20120512-1 package from [testing]. If you re-enable [testing] and do an -Syu, it should automatically install this package.

What is best for me. I have been using Elements for many years (since Elements 2) and now want to but either 13 or Lightroom. Can anyone help me decide

I have been using Elements for many years (since elements 2) and now want to upgrade. I am reasonably old and at this stage do not understand Creative Cloud. Am I best to upgrade to Elements 13 or try Light room 5?

Do you want to make a one time purchase (Photoshop Elements) or pay monthly rent ($9.99 per month for Photoshop and Lightroom)
Do be aware that the subscription model is just like rent... stop paying and the programs stop working... but you get the full Photoshop

Missing text elements in my sapscript form / Transaction F.17

Hello!
I'm on a sap ecc 6.0 system and have problems with a sapscript form.
My printprogram is sapf130d and my form is y_..._debi_slep.
Starting the transaction F.17 i get several lists and at last the error-list. This error-list says "in form y_..._debi_slep in the main window the following textelements are missing ...". Three elements 506, 595 and 606 are missing.
When i look into the form i couldn't see the elements. So with "/E 506", "/E 595" and "/E 606" i've inserted the elements in the main window and saved and activated the form. A new try with "F.17" raises the same errors. For my understanding the relevant elements should be in the info window in this case - i inserted them there, too ... but the errors remain the same. In the print program i can find all these textelements.
Perhaps someone out there has a solution or a hint for me?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Ingo

The cause of error could be of any reason.
1) For driver program SAPF130D, following forms must be used, or customised by copying any of this below forms.. May be this could be one reasons for the error.
Forms
The following forms are used in the standard SAP R/3 System:
Form for Form name
Letter and Reply F130_CONFIRM_01
Check list F130_LIST_01 and F130_LIST_02
Results table F130_RESULT_01 or F130_RESULT_02
Error list F130_ERROR_01 or F130_ERROR_02
If you define your own forms, the form name should contain the identification code "F130".

Sairam

Asset values cannot be displayed due to missing text

Hi guru's,
I am facing the problem while i am displaying the asset values,i am able to create asset through as91 but when i go for awo1n system showing error" Asset values cannot be displayed due to missing"
help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Vyas,
I am getting error like below.
Asset values cannot be displayed due to missing texts
Message no. AY363
Diagnosis
The values of the selected asset cannot be displayed. Text elements are missing in logon language EN.
System response
Processing is terminated.
Procedure
First, check if you are logged on in a language that is maintained for this system.
This error can also occur, if the company code of the selected asset is assigned to a chart of depreciation that is not fully maintained.
In many cases, the problem can be corrected by re-importing the missing texts from the reference chart of depreciation. You can do this using repair program RACORR14. Refer to SAP note 0773639 for more information.
Thanks

Help please! In InDesign DPS, my folio files are fine, but when previewing, random elements disappear?

I have been working on these files now for a long time. All of a sudden, when I updated my Folio recently and previewed it, random elements disappeared from view. Images, text, buttons, all are just not visible at random. Please help me out as I need to get this published ASAP!
I tried resetting my preferences, and I updated my DPS Tools... not sure what else to do.
Thank you.

PDF missing text when browsing or linking to a page

Hello,
I have an issue with missing text in a PDF file when I try and browse directly to a page in a PDF. Interestingly, the text is not missing when you open the PDF and navigate to the same page from within the PDF. The first Character(s) of the title are missing.
The title of this page should say Criminal Justice, but the "C" is missing when you visit this link--
http://www.northeast.edu/Degrees-and-Programs/pdfs/2010-Catalog.pdf#page=103
This only happens if you try to navigate directly to a page. If you use the pagers within the PDF then the text is fine. If you change the link in the url to represent the page you are trying to visit, the characters disappear again.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Text Formatting Rules for sibling elements

How would you edit the EDD Text format rules of an element repeated several times after one sibling optional element? For example, you have the following elements, it's children, and their formats:
1. TASK (with Title)
   A. TOPIC (w/ Title)
      (1) SUBTASK (w/ Title)
      (2) SUBTASK (w/ Title)
      (3) SUBTASK (w/ Title)
Now, if the TOPIC Title elelment is not used, I need the Subtasks to appear as follows:
1. TASK (with Title)
    TOPIC (w/o Title) (TOPIC element still present)
        A. SUBTASK (w/ Title)
        B. SUBTASK (w/ Title)
        C. SUBTASK (w/ Title)
How would you write that in the EDD? Which element would I edit? The Subtask? Or, the Title?
I've tried several combinations in the Text format rules and subrules using different context specifications like {notfirst}, {after Title}, {first}, etc., but I can't seem to make it work. Anyone familiar with the ATA iSPEC 2200 will recognize the formatting.
Wes

Wes,
My take on this problem is that the numbering has to be consistent across the entire manual, so that you don't change the numbering format of a child if the parent has no title. There are several reasons for this including:
The Topic is still there so it should be numbered, even if it has no title
Building cross reference formats that work becomes impossible if the autonumbers change according to the use of titles. This is because at some point you will need to cross ref to autonumbers with underscore which has to be coded into the cross ref format.
There are five different structures that can be considered legal for formatting purposes according to iSpec 2200. But it is essential that the chosen structures are used throughout an AMM, CMM or any other document. It is very easy to mix the structures in ways that can cause confusion later in the publication process. To avoid this I have used additional advisory formatting (e.g. bright red text) that only gets applied if you put the wrong structures together.
The ATA numbering system needs all the help it can get to remain manageable...
To give the topic an autonumber use a First Paragraph rule in the EDD. That will apply the autonumber to the title if it's there or any other element if it is missing.
I hope some of this helps
Ian

Random missing text in brochure

I am new to this discussion board but am so happy to have found it.
I am working in XI. I have two brochures that are missing some text on a few page and is fine on all others. The brochures were created in InDesign. I have opened one of the updated bochures from last year and it is fine. It is also fine when I view from Acrobat. Any suggestions on what the issue is or how to fix?
Thank you for any help you can offer.

No missing text in Safe Mode.
First time unchecking hardware acceleration fixed it. I decided to check if it was really that by checking it again and seeing if it disappeared again. It did. Then when I tried to uncheck it again, the text was still missing and I couldn't fix it again. But after some back and forth of switching from safe mode to normal and vice versa with the hardware acceleration unchecked, the text reappeared again. So I decided to leave it since its fixed for now. Thank you so much for your help.

Placed PDF missing text after re-exporting to PDF

I'm using OSX 10.6 with InDesign CS3 504.
When I place PDFs into an InDesign file, and then PDF that InDesign file, some of the PDFs are missing text. All text boxes have been made from the same original text box, just modified for content, and shape very slightly.
The text that is missing is most often white, where it's being used over the top of black frames. There is one instance of black text over a white frame missing.
I've tried exporting to .inx, and then re-pdfing. I've also tried copying text boxes that are 'working' and changing the content, but still the same text boxes are missing their text.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
Message was edited by: agreen01

i already tried exporting to .inx about 3 hours ago. unfortunately i'm very pressed for time with a meeting in about 1 hour, so i've recreated the problem text boxes. luckily there were only about 10 of them and it only took 10 mins.
before that i tried to isolate the problem element, but couldn't find one. every time i removed something, i still got the problem. the only time i didn't get the problem was when i had just the text boxes on their own, with none of the other essential page elements.
thanks for your help, though.

Lightroom vs. elements

I am interested in understanding the difference in the ability of Lightroom and Elements to edit photographs; if my only interest is cropping, setting exposure, saturation, clarity, etc, rather than the ability of the software to actually change the content of the image, such as removing a blemish from a face.
Thanks for any response.

An Add Import would keep all the photos where they were and the LR folder structure would be the same as the original folder structure.
A Copy as DNG or Copy type of Import will make a copy of the images and put them under where you tell it in the Destination at the right.
A Move Import will take the images out of where they were and put them under the one destination you specify at the right.
With either the Copy or the Move import you have the option of putting the images all in one folder or all in a set of date folders under one folder.
You obviously didn't do an Add import otherwise the fold structure in LR would match your original folder structure on your hard disk, which you say it does not.
Do you remember if you did a Copy type of or a Move type of Import, and did you split things into different folders by date as part of the import process? The Copy import would leave image files where they were and make copies and import those copies. You can recover from this by merely starting over with a new catalog and do an Add Import from the original locations. However, if you did a Move import that changed where the photos are on your disk and removed them from the original folders so there is no easy way to recover without reorganizing everything image by image.
Export locations can be anywhere you want and don't need to be in LR either before or after you export. Exporting is what you do when you want to create a new copy of an image with all the adjustments you've specified in LR. This isn't something you do to all your images you've imported, just ones you need to make new adjusted copies of.
I Import all the photos from a photoshoot in one folder labeled with the date and event/location/subject:
For example, for my niece's graduation a few weeks ago: 2014-05-10_GraduationSarah
At a realtime event there may be many that are blurry or out of focus, so I go through and choose the ones that are ok, and in this case there were three different students, my niece, her boyfriend, and a daughter of a family member all graduating, so I marked each person with a different color, and made three -- not their real names:
2014-05-10_GraduationSarah\SarahFB
2014-05-10_GraduationSarah\GeorgeFB
2014-05-10_GraduationSarah\TiffanyFB
If it was a different sort of shoot where I was getting paid I would have a master folder of everything I shoot, then folders underneath that for various stages and purposes some with many photos, all watermarked, some with just a few. For example: 1_Picks, 2_ClientPicks, 3_Single4x6, 4_Single8x10, 5_Special
The point of all this is that there is one folder with all the photos from my camera, the master photos, which I make adjustments to in LR, then a few sets of exports for their various purposes. I don't even re-import any of these sub-folder exports because they will be going elsewhere, Facebook, online gallery, Wal-Mart, photobook software, etc, none of which are in LR. The situation where I do reimport what I have process in LR is when I Edit-In round-trip to some external software, usually Photoshop for focus-stacking, or panorama-creation, or just further manipulations not possible in LR, then I'd reimport those results, before I Export them to their final destination.
Bridge/Photoshop has the same raw adjustments, but Organizer/Elements has a dumbed-down set of raw adjustments (Toning, Detail, Calibration) on purpose, so you have to pay for Photoshop to get them all.
In LR you have a master image that you imported, then you specify adjustments. Those adjustments live in LR but no pixels are changed in the original image. It is only when you Export that a new image is created with new pixel values that reflect the adjustments in LR, but the original image with its original pixel values is still there so the adjustments specified in LR make sense. You can reimport that image into LR and do more adjustments on it, but why? You could just as easily make more adjustments to the original image in LR, or make a virtual copy in LR and adjust that copy differently. The non-destructive paradigm in LR is different than in Elements and Photoshop or other photo-editors that are destructive where you save over the original.

Missing video thumbnails

Using Photoshop Elements 7 and Premier Elements 8 on a Dell Inspiron with Windows 7 which was upgraded from XP to 7 in December. I had to uninstall both programs in order to do this. I recently reinstalled the programs because I have time now to work with my photos and videos. Last year I started using a Sony Handycam 650 to shoot videos and loaded all videos into Photoshop. Everything was fine. I had thumbnails for all the videos and photos. Now when I import videos from the camera or the hard drive I don't get thumbnails. What I get are blue boxes with a filmstrip on it. They are not the missing file thumbnail. I can play the videos and I can edit but without the thumbnails it is very hard to add any tags. I haven't made any changes to the default settings on the camera since I am a novice with a video camera and the default seemed to work just fine. I looked through several pages in this forum and did not find anything on this problem. Hope someone can help.

AHHH HA!!!
I solved the problem!
It has nothing to do with the format of the video. Simply open it in quicktime (not sure if you need pro or not) and click "view - set poster frame." Then save the movie and reimport into itunes. This was probably very simple and I just overlooked it, but I hope this solution helps other people with the same problem!

Display a text with many lines

is within WD UI Element availablw where by I can display a text with many lines ?
Regards
Marco M

Hi,
TextEdit uielement is available, which is like a text area; user can enter free text in para's,multiple lines ,etc.
Steps:
Like any other uielement, right click and insert the textedit uielement on your view.
Create an attribute 'CA_TEXT' type string and bind it with the value property of your text edit.
Change the cols and row property to adjust your text edit width and height.
Use the following code to read the contents entered in the test edit,
Data: l_elem type ref to if_wd_context_element.
Data: l_text type string.
l_elem = wd_context->get_element( ).
l_elem->get_attribute( exporting name = 'CA_TEXT'
importing value = l_text }. "l_text will now have the contents of your text edit.
Regards,
Radhika.
