Dreamweaver CS3, file window (panel group) came unattached?

This may be a minor problem, but it's very annoying to me
since I'm accustomed to using a particular layout. Anyway, after
rebooting my computer and starting Dreamweaver, i noticed my files
window (panel group) was not on the screen, whereas it's usually on
the right-hand side and attached beside the code/design view. So I
went up to the the Window menu and put a check by "Files" and it
opened my file window up, but it's not attached like it was before!
instead it just floats over my code/design view, and I don't like
that.
I've looked and looked some more but I can't figure out how
to re-attach it. Can someone here help me? Any assistance is
greatly appreciated!
edited to add - i've tried simply dragging and "redocking"
the panel as shown in the help, but it won't redock or stick
anywhere.

Apologies, I figured out how to fix it. I'm not sure why it
happened to begin with, but anyway... problem solved for now. I was
able to redock it after getting rid of the css panel and just
having the files panel open, unexpanded, then moving it until I saw
the black outline.

Hi Suganth,
Once again thanks, but let me tell you little more details on this.

Out of 4 options first 3 are the popus defined and the logo gets displayed when we return to home page from the popup
Where as Place Order is the separate task (.jspx) is defined for the same. and logo is not getting displayed back, when we return from Place Order.
I tried the statment which you have give in the earlier reply, but the issue remains as it it.
Kindly help
Thanks and Regards

How to make my old file info panel from photoshop work in xmp

Help. Not a photoshop guy but rather a genealogist. Many years ago downloaded a custom file info panel for photoshop which I used to enter meta text about the family photos I scanned. Currently using adobe creative cloud but cant figure out how to use panel or see most of my metatext last few version. Below is information about the panel. All I really want to do is install my panel and get back to genealogy. I apologize but not sure I need to understand the basics of photoshop..

This is the authors description of the panel:
Genealogy Photo (Private Collection) Custom File Info Panel 1.0 for Photoshop. 11 FEB 2007
Developed by Ron Reiger [email protected]
Please contact me to suggest improvements.
1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
The Custom File Info Panel is used to capture metadata about a genealogy/family history photo that is privately held (that is, the photo is not in the possession of a library). The metadata property names on the File Info Panel are based on my interpretation of the recommended primary citation for a photograph (private possession) (annotated, with provenance) as described on page 95 of Elizabeth Shown Mill's "Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian" and on my interpretation of recommended primary citation for an Electronic File (Image from Private Files - Annotated), Mills, "Citation!", page 81. I added a few more property names for location and date the photo was taken and keywords (to ID people by number rather than by name), the name of the person who provided the description, a surety for their description, and an informal description. Each field is discussed below.
2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
Date Scanned: This is the date the photo was scanned. Date is populated by Photoshop and is not editable.
Provider: The owner of the photo as of the date it was scanned. A researcher in a future generations will know who had the photo at a particular point in time.
Provenance: Describe as best you can how the photo got from the person in the photo to the Provider.
Description Provided By: List the person who identified the people and location in the image.
Description Surety: (This is an open text field. You can use any surety rating system you want.) Describe or rate the quality of the Description of the image's people and location. Note any uncertainties regarding any particular people in the photo.
Complete Subject Description: List the full name of each individual in the image, in order. You may want to list the location and date of the image even though there are separate property names for that data.
Informal Subject Description: An optional non-genealogical description of the image, perhaps for using the photo outside of genealogy. Example Informal Subject Description: "Grandpa as a young man."
Media Description: Describe the paper photo you scanned. Dimensions, border, frame, damage, etc. Your ancestors will have an easier time finding the paper photo later if you describe it well!
Annotations: Copy any annotations on the front or back of the photo and frame. Transcribe any photographer embossing/imprint; this is a clue for dating/locating photos.
Special Editing/Alterations: Describe any restoration you performed on the digital image. Did you correct for the lateral reverse of a tintype or daguerreotype?
City/County: List the City/County where the image was taken.
State: List the State where the image was taken.
Country: List the County where the image was taken.
Photo Date: List the date the image was taken.
Keywords: This is the standard keyword entry. Commas or semicolons can be used to separate keywords. I type the TMG ID number of each person in the photo here so I can search for all photos of the person without typing their name.
3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
I have not created a working namespace URI or rdf ala http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ for this panel. I have not created localization dictionary files for this panel. Data entered into the panel will appear in Adobe Bridge. As you can see below I re-used lots of pre-existing property names and dumped all my new property names into the photoshop namespace. I don't know if this approach has drawbacks.
Date Scanned: xmp_path: 'CreateDate' Pre-existing property name
Provider: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Credit' Pre-existing property name
Provenance: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Provenance'
Description Provided By: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionProvidedBy' Pre-existing property name
Description Surety: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionSurety'
Complete Subject Description: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Description' Pre-existing property name
Informal Subject Description: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Caption' Pre-existing property name
Media Description: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'MediaDescription'
Annotations: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Annotations'
Special Editing/Alterations: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'SpecialEditing'
City/County: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'City' Pre-existing property name
State: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'State' Pre-existing property name
Country: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Country' Pre-existing property name
Photo Date: xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DateCreated' Pre-existing property name
Keywords: xmp_path: 'Keywords' Pre-existing property name
4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
I have tested this panel with Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge CS2 only. It may not work on earlier versions. FWIW a malformed Custom File Info Panel will fail to load in File Info; it won't crash Photoshop.
The following was taken from "XMP Custom Panels," Adobe, Oct 2003.
Each time an Adobe application opens the File Info dialog, it scans all the files in these directories and appends them to the file list. If more than one of the description files has
the same panel name, the one found in the last file to be loaded is added, and others are ignored.
Changes to the contents of the directories do not require you to reload an application; changes are automatically reflected in the dialog the next time it is opened.
The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Creative Suite applications:
Mac OS X
{Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
{Home Directory}/Library/Application/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
Windows
\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or 6.0:
Mac OS X
{Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
{Home Directory}/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
Windows
\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\\Custom File Info Panels
\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Custom File Info Panels

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

Custom file info panel to xmp

I have a custom file info panel I use on an old version of photoshop, have 20gigs of pictures with data. with cs5 and 6 haven't figure how to convert except manually which would be VERY painful. Is there a conversion for file info panels to xmp? can I run creative cloud and still install an older version of photoshop?

I've found answer:
group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, reverse: rtl_aware)

Custom File Info Panel CS2- CS4

I have a Custom File Info Panel that has been created in Adobe Photoshop CS2 and works in CS3. I am having trouble figuring out how to get it to work in CS4. Is there a way to port the Custom File Info Panel into CS4 without entirely recreating it?
I am seeing references to FileInfo SDK and creating a new Flex UI but I can't seem to find a definitive method on this pre-CS4 File Info Panel to the new UI - and I am in unfamiliar territory.
Any assistance or points in the proper direction would be most helpful.
UPDATE: Answering at least some of my own questions, I have followed the procedure here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/gunar/2008/11/customizing_metadata_ui_in_cs4.html
I am still having some trouble with a couple of the unique properties but I expect that they will be typos... I hope...
Any good reference information is still welcome.

Thank you for suggesting the PS Scripting forum but I think the next stop might be the XMP SDK Forum as there are a few similar questions there such as http://forums.adobe.com/thread/540397. But before I go impolitely cross-posting...
I've had some success and it appears that my custom file info metadata edited and saved in CS2 is now visible in CS4 and the reverse is also true - metadata edited and saved in CS4 is visible in CS2. This was built using the Generic Panel from the SDK according to the instructions shown at the link in my original post.
The only problem is that the external application that relies on the custom metadata doesn't see the CS4 version of the metadata. I suspect that this is just some general namespace issue. Perhaps if an XMP expert would be willing to comment on the conversion of the Custom Info Panel based on the following single portion of the metadata to see if I am doing it correctly - I would very much appreciate it.
In the CS2 Custom Info Panel XML I have this field:
<panel title="$$$/CustomPanels/XYZ/PanelName=XYZCorp Graphics MetaData" version="1" type="custom_panel">
group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top, reverse: rtl_aware)
static_text(name: '$$$/CustomPanels/XYZ/fullName=Full Name/Title of Graphic', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center);
cat_container_edit_text(xmp_ns_prefix: 'xyzcorp', xmp_namespace: 'xyzcorp', xmp_path: 'FullName', container_type: seq_struct, horizontal: align_fill);
mru_popup(xmp_ns_prefix: 'twcable', xmp_path: 'FullName', no_check: true, vertical: align_top, container_type: seq_struct, mru_append: true);

</panel>
In my CS4 properties.xml the corresponding field:
<xmp_definitions xmlns:ui="http://ns.adobe.com/xmp/fileinfo/ui/">
<xmp_schema prefix="custom" namespace="xyzcorp" label="$$$/Custom/Schema/Label=XYZCorp Graphics MetaData" description="$$$/Custom/Schema/Description=CS4 Version of XYZCorp MetaData Custom Panel.">

<xmp_property name="FullName" category="external" label="$$$/Custom/Property/FullName_Label=Full Name/Title of Graphic:" type="seq" element_type="text"/>

<ui:separator/>
</xmp_schema>
</xmp_definitions>
It seems that the following CS2 => CS4 translations should be true:
"xmp_namespace" => xmp_schema namespace property (in this case "xyzcorp")
"xmp_path" => xmp_property name property (for this one property, "FullName")
is there another translation that I am missing? I am betting it has something to do with the CS2 "xmp_ns_prefix" but I am not entirely sure how to map this. Also perhaps something in manifest.xml (though it didn't seem like it)?
Many thank you's to anyone that can offer words of wisdom.

Trouble Moving Files in Dreamweaver (CS3)

Hi,
Having a real problem maneuvering some files around.
At the moment I have my index.html file which links to a folder called 2009website, which contains 4 folders each with a mini site in.
So for instance the index file is pointing to 2009website/design/print.html
and also
2009website/business/clientportfolio.html
etc, etc.
What I want to do is take those 4 mini sites outside of the 2009website folder so that my index file points to:
design/print.html
and
business/clientportfolio.html
So I've moved the folders in my Files Panel and clicked "Update links" in the dialog box which seemed to work nicely. Only problem is all the images and css links within the HTML are still looking in the 2009website folder, i.e.
2009website/design/css/design.css (and there's nothing in that folder anymore)
Is there anyway I can remove the 4 folders and have the internal links update so they drop the 2009website/ and just look for the relevant folder and file?
I know it's my own fault for putting everything inside the 2009website folder when there was no real need to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you say you updated the links and everything seems to be ok - do you see any broken links within DW design view itself?
If the files are pointing to that particular folder for the images and the css, but there is Nothing in the folders, then there is a major issue I think.
This means that the updating of the links didn't work as you expected - if the files are not in the relevant folders, but the images and css are pointing to them, then you should be seeing broken links...
What you could try:
Backup what you have now - so it doesn't get any messier :-) (hopefully you have a backup copy of the original before you starting moving files !)
If you are sure that the files are all within the root of the site and not within that 2009 folder, then maybe do a find and replace and remove the beginning of the url, so that it points to where you moved the files to. Try it on one page and see if it makes a difference.
You could also try and move around the images folder and the css folder and see if you get a pop up with DW asking if you want to update the links and see what happens.
Another idea - do you have an images folder defined in the site definition?
Other than that, I'm not sure what else you can do.

Problems with Custom File Info Panel and Dublin Core

I'm creating a custom file info panel that uses the values of the dublin core description and keywords (subject) for two of it's own fields. I'm having problems with the panel saving if they enter the description on the custom panel first, and with the keywords not echoing each other, or reappearing after a save. Here is the code for the panel <?xml version="1.0"> <!DOCTYPE panel SYSTEM "http://ns.adobe.com/custompanels/1.0"> <panel title="$$$/matthew/FBPanelName=Testing for Matthew" version="1" type="custom_panel"> group(placement: place_column, spacing:gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top) { group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top) { static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/keywords = Keywords', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center); edit_text(fbname: '$$$/matthew/keywordsFB = Keywords', locked: false, height: 60, v_scroller: true, horizontal: align_fill, xmp_ns_prefix: 'dc', xmp_namespace: 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/', xmp_path: 'subject'); } group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top) { static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/description = Description', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center); edit_text(fbname: '$$$/matthew/descriptionFB = Description', locked: false, height: 60, v_scroller: true, horizontal: align_fill, xmp_ns_prefix: 'dc', xmp_namespace: 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/', xmp_path: 'description'); } group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top) { static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/season = Season', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center); popup(fbname: '$$$/matthew/seasonFB = Season', items: '$$$/matthew/Season/Items={};option 3{option 3};option 2{option 2};option 1{option 1}', xmp_namespace:'http://monkeys.com/demo/testingmatthew/namespace/', xmp_ns_prefix:'matthew', xmp_path:'season'); } group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top) { static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/ltf = Limited Text Field', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center); edit_text(fbname: '$$$/matthew/ltf = Limited Text Field', locked: false, horizontal: align_fill, xmp_namespace:'http://monkeys.com/demo/testingmatthew/namespace/ ', xmp_ns_prefix:'matthew', xmp_path:'ltf'); } } </panel> Thanks for the help

To answer my own question:
The documentation really sucks.
I found this reply from Adobe <http://forums.adobe.com/message/2540890#2540890>
usually we recommend to install custom panels into the "user" location at:
WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
WINDOWS VISTA: C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
MAC OS: /user/username/Application Data/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/2.0/panels/
The reason why your panels did not work properly was a missing Flash trust file for that user location. Without such a trust file the embedded flash player refuses to "play" your custom panel.
Please see section "Trust files for custom panels" in the XMPFileInfo SDK Programmer's Guide on page 50 for all details on how to create such trust files.
After many wasted hours I have now the simple panels running.

Custom File Info Panel: Bridge Locks Up (trials, tribulations, woes)

o/ all!
So I've spent the better part of this morning trying (for what I think is the fifth time this year) to get a custom file info panel installed properly. I've managed to successfully install a generic panel with most of the properties that I'd like in the panel proper, however, I'm having no end of trouble publishing and installing the panels and having them display properly in Bridge CC (64-bit).
I've followed the instructions provided in the Programmer's Guide to the letter (yes, including the trust files), and I'm still having issues.
-- System Information --
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Flash Builder 4.7 (64-bit)
Adobe Bridge CC (64-bit)
Right now, all I'm trying to do is:
Create the flash builder project for an XMP File Info Panel
Publish the file info panel
Confirm the file info panel was installed correctly in Adobe Bridge CC.
The process:
1. I create the new project in Flash Builder (I've attempted using the 4.6.0 and 3.6A flex SDKs).
Now, at this point, I'm simply attempting to confirm that everything is hunky-dory with the installation process before I start converting my generic panel into a flash/flex panel; so I'm not modifying any of the files that the wizard created.
2. Right-click the root project folder in the leftmost pane in Flash Builder, select XMP>Publish.
3. Locate the published panel's output directory that Flash Builder published to
4. Copy/paste the published panel's root directory to the following directories:
C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\
C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\
I put the panel definition in all of these folders as per various 'fixes' to what I think my issue is that I've discovered while google-troubleshooting.
5. Create a trust file in FlashPlayerTrust folder with the name testPanel36A.cfg (contents listed below):
C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\testPanel36a\bin\testPanel36a.swf
C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\testPanel36a\bin\testPanel36a.swf
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\testPanel36a\bin\testPanel36a.swf
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\testPanel36a\bin\testPanel36a.swf
As far as I know, I can put multiple paths in these .cfg files, but I'm not-at-all confident that this is, in fact, the case.
After all this, I fire up bridge, right click an image file, and select FileInfo. The dialog displays fine, and the panel tab appears on the right. Clicking on the panel reveals nothing but a gray area with no content, and Bridge locks up entirely. I can't cancel out of the dialog, and end up having to end the process from Task Manager.
My gut tells me that I'm doing something wrong with the trust files, as this seems like the issue that most closely resembles what I'm encountering. Secondarily, It may be the flex SDKs -- I only have the 4.6.0 and the 3.6A SDKs, and the link in the Flash Builder dialog takes me to the sourceforge page for Adobe, and from there, I cannot locate any additional older SDKs to try this with (I've seen posts around saying that people got their panels to work with 3.0, or 3.5).
Anyone have ANY insight on this? Seriously at my wits end -- I've tried everything but nothing seems to work . Many thanks,

Hi The_Mumm,
 You need to correct content fo the .cfg file (hope your .cfg file is at correct directory i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust). Yes, I agree that you have followed the documentation and put the path upto .swf file.
 Could you please modify the content of the trust file, with the below content (you path have been modified)
C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\testPanel36a\bin\
C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\testPanel36a\bin\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels\testPanel36a\bin\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\custom\testPanel36a\bin\
Hope everything will work now. If it doesn't work, please put only one path in trust file e.g. "C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels" and put the publish panel in this folder.
One more precaution, don't copy, if required move the custom panel from one place to other.
Please let me know if you still faces any issue. Enjoy you new year.
For your reference, I am following the following steps and everything is working fine
1. Open the Fb7,
2. file->new->project
3. in the new project wizards, select "xmp->custom panel wizard"
4. xmp->publish custom panel
5. Open the .cfg file and added the path (C:\Users\<user name>\appdata\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels) where my panel has got published.
6. Ran Bridge CC, panel is there and working fine.
One more variations I did is, moved custom panel from C:\Users\<user name>\appdata\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CC (64 Bit)\Custom File Info Panels\4.0\panels (the location of the custom file info panel inside bridge).
 For you doubts I tried with flex SDK 3.3A and 3.6a both worked fine. As in forum you have written that you don't have any other sdk. If you like please go on the following links for older SDKs "http://sourceforge.net/adobe/flexsdk/wiki/Download%20Flex%203/"

Moving files and folders in the Library module

I teach a lot of LR users and one area that's consistantly frustrating and unintuitive (even to some experienced users) are the rules for moving files and folders around in the Library module. I'm not sure I have all the right answers/suggestions/remedies but here are the basic points worth examining:
1) Additional hard drives aren't listed unless images from it have been imported into Lightroom. It would be nice if people could add a new hard drive without importing files from it. People don't get it that you can select "Add Folder" from the Folders pop up menu. Classic example: Say someone has purchased a new hard drive for archiving purposes. It's empty and they want to drag folders of images onto it from within LR. Possible Solution: include a "Add Drive..." option from the Folder's panel + pop-up menu that would behave the same and add a root level folder.
2) One can't drag more than one folder at a time. While I assume this is designed to prevent accidental mass movement it would be nice if one could enable the movement of multiple folders.
3) One can't drag a folder onto the main drive bar that lists the drive's name and capacities - one has to drag onto a folder within a drive. I'd love to be able to drag a folder onto the root level of a drive by dropping onto the drive bar (this would be similar to the MacOS finder).
4) Sometimes the root level of a drive isn't apparent. One may need to right click on a folder and select "Show Parent Folder" to show the root level folder which is named after the volume. Showing a root "folder" that has the same name as the drive is also confusing to people since there isn't actually a folder on the hard drive with that name. I completely understand why folders are hidden by default and I'm not sure the remedy is but, again, this isn't intuitive for new users. If #3 worked as described perhaps we could have root level access without the root folder?

Perhaps I should add that I really like and appreciate a lot of the decisions that have already been implemented into the Library's Folder's tab. Moving files instead of copying them, showing only folders that contain imported images, the ability to show or hide parent folders.... Bravo!

Dreamweaver 8 - not updating links when moving files

I am still having problems getting Dreamweaver 8 to work the
same way as my Dreamweaver MX2004. When I use the file panel in
Dreamweaver 8 to change the name of a file it does not update my
links throughout out site. I have gone to EDIT > PREFERENCE and
made sure that update links when moving files and the Prompt box is
checked.
I have also tried Site > Advanced > Recreate Site Cache
but it's not working.
Can anyone please help. Thank you.

Give me the code from a link that is not managed by DW,
please.

Delay rendering of Panel Group

I have Tabbed Panel Group widget that is driven by Spry Data,
that's held in a parent frame.
The markup for the group is defined in a region, using
spry:repeat for each tab and {} for data output.
The onLoad event for the page calls a function that creates
the widget. (tabPanel = new Spry.Widget..blah blah).
However, the widget doesn't render correctly right away. None
of the event handlers are assigned, and all of the content shows at
once.
If I delay the creation of the widget with a setTimeout call
for half a second after the page's onload event, it initializes
just fine.
What I'm guessing is that the constructor for the panel group
needs to get called AFTER Spry.Data has combed through the region.
Is there any event from Spry.Data that I can listen to, to trigger
this, other than using a setTimeout?

Instead of using a onload event listener, use a DOM ready
script..
(this DOM readyscript requires the file SpryDOMUtils.js)
I once had the same issue and buildt this DOM ready script:
http://www.3rd-eden.com/Spry-it.com/includes/SpryDOMReady.js
Spry.Utils.onDOMReady(functionhere);
Hopes this helps :))

Pathway problem when moving files in PSE

I use PSE 6.0 and recently had to reload my operating system (OS). After reloading my OS I reinstalled PSE 6.0 and restored my catalog to a new location on my hard drive. I had my catalog backed up onto DVD's. The restore worked and I went to link missing photos, b/c I did the PSE 'no no' and moved files outside of the PSE program. It appeared that the missing links were reconnected. I started to spot-check some of the file property locations and noticed that many of the photo properties had the restore location that I restored the catalog to. I did not want to keep the photo in this location, so I went to move these folders and files to my external drive where I keep my pictures (I have two drives: one for video and one for photos). When I try to move the files in PSE to my external drive it moves them to my external video drive instead. The problem is that when I follow the pathway it moved them to, I do not have this link on my video drive. The pathway, however, is identical to my photo pathway. For example. I have a picture with the property of C:/Documents and Settings/Amy/My Documents/Restore Adobe PSE 100111/My Picture Downloads/Pella Trip. I tried to move this file to my external K drive (which is my photo drive). In PSE I click on file then move then browse and moved the file to K:Micah's camera photos/2011/May/2011/05 07. In PSE when I go to verify that the file was moved to that drive, instead in properties it tells me that the file location is M (my video external drive) and lists the pathway as M:Micah's camera photos/2011/May/2011/05 07. When I go to START and click on that external drive to follow the pathway to find the photo, it is not on M. M does not even have the pathway to follow as I do not even have M:Micah's camera in that location. I have tried disconnecting my external drive M and tried to save the file from the C location to my K drive and then the file becomes an offline file and I have another problem. So then I tried to reconnect that particular file listed on M but since it's not really on M, I follow the K pathway name and find the file where I requested it to be saved which was K:Micah's camera photos/2011/May/2011/05 07. When I find the file and click on reconnect I get the message that the file already exists in the catalog. Then in the dialog box it says M:Micha's camera photos/2011/May/2011/05 07 was not connected to K:Micah's camera photos/2011/May/2011/05 07. When I click on ok to exit the dialog box my photo is then missing. I then can't do anything with it. The pathway in PSE won't move it b/c I can't link it. It says the file is on my M drive, but it really isn't. I don't know what to do next. I would like to move my photo files/folders from C (my hard drive) to K (my external photo drive). I do not know why PSE is moving them to M (my video drive) which doesn't take me to that file. I have searched the forums but have found no problems similar to this. I'm not sure what to do to fix this. Sorry this got so long...Can anyone help me?

Highlighting a batch of images and dragging from the PSE9 Media Browser to a folder in the left hand panel, located on external HDD works fine although I’m using Vista and Windows 7 and automatically invokes the elements Move procedure.
Make sure the new folder has a blue icon to indicate it is being managed in Organizer. If not right click on the folder and choose Import to Organizer.

PSE7 Reconnect moved files(a bunch of them)

Hello,
I had PSE4 installed on my box then I upgraded to Vista and PSE4 stopped working fine. So I stopped using PSE4. I do have 40k images and I did move some around, grouped by year they where shot.
Past days I've upgraded (finally) to PSE7 and of course those files were reported as missing. Reconnecting them all would be a pain, I don't think PSE7 is up for the task. I have a feeling that they don't use a indexed approached when they search for files, why do I think that ? Because when I reconnect them one by one second time the same folders are being parsed.
Another thing I tried was to import them again - sure they would be detected as duplicates but I hoped that Adobe developers would check if the duplicate file are connected and if they are not connect them.
To me that seem to be the best approach to reconnect the files - well that what I thought as a software engineer... but it looks like the Adobe engineers are disagreeing with my logic since such thing is not implemented...
So, now, at the end of this long message, what do I do to reconnect my files ?
Anyone, any cool and good ides ? Can't wait to read your thoughts!
Q
Ps.
Why this whole thing is so hard to be figured it out by Adobe ? Files are bound to be moved around, different drives, different folders, why not changing the approach like the guys at Google(Picasa) are doing... Picasa is just awesome dealing with moving files around, new files, and watching folders.

Evan,
If you have a thumbnail in the catalog that's not connected to its file (it shows a "?" icon on the thumbnail), and you don't wish to keep it in your catalog any longer, you can safely delete it using Edit > Delete.

Collapsable Panel Group: Button Toggle

Hello,
I have a Collapsable Panel Group with the buttons 'open all' and 'close all'
Is there a way to make this into one button which toggles? So, if they're open, then close, and vice versa.
<input type="button" value="Open All" onclick="cpg.openAllPanels();" />
<input type="button" value="Close All" onclick="cpg.closeAllPanels();" />
Thanks for any info.
Andy

Thanks for that, works just fine.
I put it into the SpryCollapsiblePanel.js file with this explanation.
// extra code to make the [open all], [close all] buttons into one toggle button. Thanks to http://forums.adobe.com/people/.V1
// works with this button in the main code .. <input type="button" value="Toggle" onclick="toggle();" />
