Muse COMPOSITION Light Box Display Widget and other Widgets

How is one supposed to import images into the COMPOSITION Lightbox Display Widget. I followed an Adobe tutorial that said, "place an image to the page, then cut the image so it's on the clipboard, then paste it to the thumbnail".
This seems ridiculously tedious and time consuming.
Why is there no right click menu on the thumbnail itself for placing images?
After following these instructions I was confronted with the fact that the image did not resize automatically to fit the thumbail. To get the "Trigger", "Image Frame" and "Image" to be equal in size using the arrow tool is no quick task. (Muse badly needs "fit frame to content" buttons.)
I managed to link several images to several "Triggers" but can't figure out how to link more than one image to the "Target" div.
The "Target" Image frames are stacked one on top of the other so once I linked an image to one of the large target hero slides in the gallery it was impossible to link any other images. It is possible to drag out the "Target" frames so that they are visible so long as the gallery doesn't exceed five images and one has the available screen space. But this brings me to my next issue with Muse.
Why don't the alignment tools work in any of the widgets? It's so extreemly time consuming and tedious to have to size and center all images by hand. What makes it more tedious is that there doesn't seem to be an isolation mode where one can just work with the image portion of a gallery widget without accidently selecting other parts of the widget instead.
Why doesn't "group" functionality work inside the Muse widgets? The ability to group objects would make scaling and resizing tolerable.
In addition to trying to use the COMPOSITION Lightbox Display Widget I also tried the SLIDESHOW Lightbox Widget and had many of the same issues as described above, save importing images. What is the intended distinction between the Composition Lightbox and the Slideshow Lightbox?
I wanted to build a website in Muse because I thought it would be quick and easy without the tediousness of hand coding. However I'm finding it's taking longer to do things in Muse since the widgets have such limited functionallity and the customization tools are so clunky.
What workflows did the Muse team have in mind for customizing image galleries, specifically with regards to linking images for thumbnails and large slides; scaling lagre slide images for uniformity of size and centering slide images? Or is Muse just a victim of it's own simplicity?
I would love to know that there are indeed workflows for these issues otherwise I see more disadvantages than advantages in using Muse over other tools.

I would also like to know this. I am having trouble editing a composition gallery from a purchased template. I basically want a lightbox gallery with triggers on top for different categories. :/

I have checked the box "display date and time on the Menu Bar" and it does not work. Using OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Anybody have a fix?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

AC 8 - Does this version come stock with the email widget and print widget? Are there other non stock widgets I should also purchase?

Thinking of purchasing AC8 for training and quizzes / assessments. Does it come with the print and email widgets? Are there other widgets I might also need that don't come stock in Version 8?
Thanks
Tina

Thanks Lilybiri for your response. I had a version of Captivate version 7 and had to purchase an email piece separately so I would receive notifications on quiz completions etc. I just need to know if that would also be the case for the print function and email function in 8.
Thanks

Displaying buttons and other items in french instead of english

Hi,
I am new to APEX., which I find incredibly easy to use. Anyway, I am french (nobody is perfect!) and I would like the texts inside the buttons (like 'Create', 'Reset') and in the other part of the aplication ('Edit') to appear in french. BUT with APEX development sutdio remaining in english. I have read the documentation but I did not understood if there is a procedure to generate the buttons and other items in french instead of english.
Could you help me ?
Thank you very much !
Christian

Hello,
>> Where can I find it ?
I’m afraid you are looking at the wrong place. You are going to the shared components whilst you should go to the page where the button id defined. In the “Page Rendering” column there’s a section called “Buttons”. Choose the button you want to edit, and there you’ll find it - http://i31.tinypic.com/25sv6t3.png . As you can see from the gif, the button name and the button label don’t have to be the same.

Arie.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Google suggestions can be shut off by installing 3rd party add-on Glims. When installed, Glims preference settings/options are found as a separate panel in Safari Preferences. Also, a much more functional search panel replaces Safari's default window.
Regarding the URL prompts, press the space bar once before typing the URL. No prompts appear. This is the only workaround.

Dual display color and other related issues...

I have posted this on painter forums, though some of the issues coming together here are directly related to issues w/ Snow Leopard and dual displays. Thought I would try here....
This is so bizarre. When I ever I run P11(I think this is going on in P10 too?) w/ the OS X (snow leopard, 10.6.2 on quad core Intel Xeon Mac Pro, 10 GB of RAM) menu bar on my Eizo(making it the main display), and the Apple Cinema display left as the #2 monitor, I get very annoying brush cursor artifcats left randomly on the Eizo screen after strokes. One cannot predict when the cursor will leave it's gray "marks", but it will do it, sometimes 5 strokes in a row, sometimes after 15 strokes or so? If I move my brush back over them, or change the image percantage view, they vanish, obviously new ones coming back, as I work.
However I put the OS menu bar on the AC display, yet work back on the Eizo, this does NOT happen. No cursor artifacts. Well, at least I can summon the issue
The reason I am doing this is Snow Leopard has bad color issues w/ dual displays (well documented, much to Photoshop CS4 users frustrations, and mine). Apple needs to fix it... but for me to see the right color on the Eizo(this is my main color and superior display), it needs to be the main monitor(menu bar) in 10.6.2.
So, you can see my trap - Accurate color, or annoying cursor artifacts left on the screen (sorry, it really bugs me as I work) as I work in Painter.
Attempted fixes: Trashed all of Painter's prefs, all of Wacom's Intuos 4(latest driver) prefs and software, switched plug ins on the back of the mac for the displays(lots of restarts), ran cache cleaning Cocktail and DiskWarrior, etc. -- no change, as I can duplicate the issue w/ the above set up. A sidebar or maybe be very related note: I have an iMac w/ max amount of ram (model not very old -- maybe 1 or 2 old) and I have had a long standing issue working on the iMacs we have had w/ this brush cursor artifact problem (in Leopard and Snow Leopard). I am on one monitor w/ the iMac, so you know here the menu bar is...hmmmmmmmm.....?
Thanks!, T

The colors are no longer on my calendar, I have blank boxes where delete and other actions should be, and I can no longer check the little boxes to the left of emails but the star feature does work. How can I fix this?

The colors denoting my different calendars have disappeared.
To the right of "MAIL" I have blank boxes.
When I click on the boxes to the left of in box emails instead of a check mark, there is a straight line on the far left side of the box and the mark disappears as soon as you click on another entry.

You can control this from Mail Preferences on your computer. Open Mail, go to Preferences, and select Accounts.
Go to your MobileMe account and select Mailbox Behaviors. Next to Trash, select Store Deleted Messages on the Server.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*"my cd drive makes 3 loud, god-awful clicking noises anytime i insert a disc into it which has happened since the very first time i used it...is that normal or should i get it checked out?"*
That's not normal. I would definitely take the MacBook in for service.

PekWM won't display kana and other foreign characters.

Just getting to grips with PekWM, got it set up exactly the way I want, except that the fonts I have installed for Japanese/Chinese/Korean text don't show up in the title bar at all. Instead I just see tall rectangles. Metacity and Kwin both pick up on this automatically- is there some sort of configuration or option I just can't find? Thank you in advance for reading or replying to this issue.

I think you need to edit your theme to use your preferred unicode font ; see the PekWM FAQ for more info http://www.pekwm.org/files/pekwm/doc/0. … l#FAQ-1546

Restful services, widgets and the widget foundation

Hi,
I installed the widget foundation and found the tutorial helpful when craeting a simple RFC call widget for displaying a customers details.
In the description document I raed even RESTful services can be created with the foundation.
Is a tutorial or at least a prototype application available ? How can a REST service be build in SAP anyway (say for a customer) ?
Would be great to skip all the RFc and SOAP stuff in favour of http://myserver:port/customers/12345 for all the details.
Any help on this is appreciated.
Marcus

REST service can be simple BSP page which takes some parameters and process them and returns the result in xml or json format.

Has anyone had this happen? And perhaps when I host from GoDaddy or sim, this problem will go away?
Thanks -

Hi
Please share the site url and exact steps you are taking to replicate the issue.
It should not crash any other browser site.

Adding a youtube video light box pop up.

I have been trying to create a lightbox that pops up with a youtube video inside. I have followed Adobe Muse - Lightbox Effect for YouTube Video - YouTube, tutorial to the letter but it doesn't work. And I am completely out of ideas.

I don't have a way at the moment to upload. I tried and had a few others try while watching the video and still the same result. When you go to preview the button is present and does launch a blank lightbox without content(youtube video). The youtube video that was drug into the light box displays all the time unless you select the light box trigger and then the light box pops up over the video. I think what is happening is that the video is not inside the container. I have tried several times selecting the container, button as in video and inserting the <iframe embed code but still have the same result.

Problems with moving images, widgets and text.

Apologies if this question has already been asked. I think there has been a similar question asked but can't see a solution and I'm not sure if my problem is slightly different.
I have been designing a Muse website on a MacBook Pro, and placing widgets, text and images where they look correct in 'design' mode, but when viewing online, some items do not remain the same size and/or have moved. When viewing on a larger screen, such as an iMac, the positioning and sizing is even worse.
I can't figure out how to lock / maintain the correct sizing and positioning of items such as a 'youtube' video, text boxes and graphics in general as they appear in design mode.
I'd be VERY grateful if someone more experienced could advice how to avoid items changing when viewing on different sized screens.
Please see the difference between the appearance on a MacBook and iMac to better show what I am hoping to resolve.
Thank you in advance.

When I try to move a stack between two stacks, it becomes part of the other stack. The black line is highlighted.
I want to organize my stacks so the best are at the top of the grid.
Thanks for any help.

I keep losing entire events in iPhoto on my iMac. Where an event was, there is a light gray event box displaying a dark gray palm tree and when I hover my cursor over the box, it shows 0 photos are there, where there were once photos.

I keep losing entire events in iPhoto on my iMac. Where an event was, there is a light gray event box displaying a dark gray palm tree and when I hover my cursor over the box, it shows 0 photos are there, where there were once photos. I am operating a 27 inch iMac running OS X 10.9.4. It has a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, and its memory is 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3. Is there any way to retrieve the lost photos?

WHat version if iPhoto? Where is your iPhoto library located?

BAckup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys while launching iPhoto until the first aid window comes up and repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database
