No new help file in LR5 bug report

Using either F1 or clicking the menu option, asking for help in LR5 (release version) takes you to a page for LR 4.

Yes, but if you look deeper you'll see pages that just reference LR4 eg p57 as quick example I found when looking up how LR5 upgrades existing catalogues.
Why can't this sort of detail be documented for users ? Should we really have to just blunder our way through trying to find out what's changed or where things have moved to ourselves ?
Ah, yes, I agree with you.  I hadn't seen that.  Hopefully David will be able to get the LR4 references fixed.  I used to get a copy of the help from Anita Dennis to pick up these things before release, but I haven't had time to follow that up this time.
FWIW, I always put a very detailed list of changes up on my blog, which includes as many of the little details as I can track.  Here's the LR5 changes: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/2013/04/15/whats-new-in-lightroom-5-0-beta/

  • How/where to file a iphone bug report by a user

    i am just a user. i am not a developer. i would like to file a bug report regarding a bonjour networking "feature."
    the issue is discussed in the following apple kb.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3389
    the solution is not unreasonable especially when dealing with a Microsoft Active Directory. with that being said, it looks like newer versions of the OS X have resolved this issue.

    i would like this fix in the OS X to be included in iOS 4. how do i file a bug report?

  • Voice Memo file was cut - bug report

    Using Voice Memo on my iPhone 4 (iOS5), I just did an interview which lasted 11m 8s (as shown just before the blue arrow on the right of the screen). I did not receive any call or message during the recording, and the phone was plugged in to power (not a computer).
    I tried to play back my memo, but for several minutes it was somehow unavailable: instead of a blue "Play" button on the left, all I had were the "circling dots" indicating an ongoing transfer or activity.
    Then it finally let me play the file. Here's the problem: I only get the first 3m 22s (as indicated on the right of the time slider, at the bottom of the screen during playback). The file itself still displays a proud 11m 8s. So where are those ~8 missing minutes?
    After syncing with iTunes, and even trying to get the file directly via a third-party app on my Mac, all I get is a 3m 22s .mp4 file. The rest is just lost, there is no other file in the recording folder nor in iTunes—just previous memos.
    That was a professional interview. It's the first time a vanilla iOS app from Apple is letting me down that bad.
    I can't do that interview again. Does anyone have any idea where the missing part of the recording actually went? What happened?
    Last but not least, if anyone has a suggestion for an app to replace Voice Memo, which I don't trust anymore for my work… I'll gladly take it too.
    Thank you for any help on this.

  • How do I submit a bug report?

    There is a plethora of bugs in CC.
    For instance, CC keeps pushing updates that I have already installed. I've seen other discussions regarding this phantom update issue in this forum. One discussion was no help at all and in another, two Adobe staff members offered, well, nothing really as they only guessed at some 'would be' solutions. Both employes failed to resolve the issue.
    In CC this is just the tip of the iceberg.
    While Adobe has made and continues to make incredibly useful, professional and fluid products, the new Creative Cloud service sucks! So far, I cannot find meaningful answers/resolutions in this forum. A cloud service is a very different beast compared to Adobe's traditional offerings. That new beast needs attention.
    So, where can I file a comprehensive bug report where I could submit detailed analyses and keep track of them?
    Best regards,
    Mario Marceau

    Hi Romsinha,
    Thank you for your suggestion but I already knew about that link. What I should haved mentioned is that on that page, in the "Product Name" selector pictured here (which must be set before proceeding further),
    there is NO OPTION AVAILABLE for "Adobe Creative Cloud" or "Creative Cloud" or anything remotely related to the cloud service. There is also no "Other" option. All the products I own in that list work fine. So, again, where can I file a comprehensive bug report where I could submit detailed analyses and keep track of (my ticket) for the Creative Cloud product?
    Creative Cloud is the service that is buggy. I have instances full of details ready to submit, including errors captured on my MacBook Pro via the Console. Unfortunately I have no way to submit them, not even via the link you provided.
    As far as Creative Cloud is concerned, this forum has been no help at all. Judging by the shaky responses (or lack thereof) from Adobe staff members on the cloud service issues, I see no point in submitting detailed information on this forum. A "Creative Cloud" option should be added at once on the page you suggested.
    Please do not take this response personally. I know you are doing your best to help. My frustration has to do with Adobe in general, considering the membership pricey premium we pay for the Creative Cloud service.
    Best regards,
    Mario Marceau

  • Reproducible Sloooooow Backup Bug (how do I submit a bug report?)

    I've been having incredibly slow backup problems with my iPad. My wife was foolish enough to leave her iPad here today, so I'm doing some experiments, and I think I've identified the problem.
    Her system had 2.5 gigs of stuff on it, and took less than 2 minutes to backup in iTunes on my desktop computer. I added ComicZeal, and copied 2 gigs of comics (261 issues) onto the machine. It took 90 minutes to back up.
    Delete the comics, less than a minute to backup.
    Add two gigs of music, less than 5 minutes to back up.
    Add back two gigs of Comic Books in ComicZeal, and I gave up on the backup at the 75 minute mark (about 2/3 through).
    So how do I file an official bug report?

    Yep, this is consistent with what I'm seeing with cloudreader (and other pdf readers the in this case the files were pdfs but also coincidentally comic files as above). After an excruciating first back up the first time I synced, subsequent backups were reasonable (5-10 mins).. until I added a large number of pdfs to various installed pdf readers via itunes app sync tab (I was testing the different apps to see how they handled large pdfs). Adding the files to itunes took minutes but the subsequent backup the next time took hours - I've been following the hidden backup folder and the new back up files are similar in size to the pdfs. Using the time stamps on the backup files, one 100meg file took about 20 minutes to back up. I've tried both the original ipad cable and my iphone cable but little difference in speed. By contrast, my 8gb iphone backs up in 5 minutes is full but does not have any pdfs stored on it.
    So Apple either needs to speed up / fix the sync or at least give the user more control over what is and isnt backed up.

  • IOS 8 Bug Reporter suddenly crashes constantly

    Hi,
    I have ios 8 beta. Earlier today I was making drafts in the Bug Reporter application that came with ios 8. I currently have 4 drafts. I could not submit these yet beacuse I did not have wifi. So, when I finally got to wifi, I opened the Bug Reporter, entered my email and password, and then it crashed right after that. I have done a reset, and a restart. I just cant seem to find out what the problem is and why this will not work, because I have already submitted 3 bug reports yesterday and some today with absolutely no problems. I managed to dig up a log file from the Bug Reporter crash and will post it below. I hope somebody can kindly help, as I am trying to make ios 8 a better OS for apple and users when it is released. I can not do this without Bug Reporter.
    Thank you so very much!!

  • HTML Responsive Layout for tablet and phone is not showing icons correct on a converted help file

    I am using the Responsive HTML Layout in RoboHelp 11.  On all of my new help files, the layout works great and my icons are showing appropriately.  On all of my old help files that were converted, my icons do not fit within bar for the tablet and phone.  I am using the Government Theme (Theme2_Government), but modified the file to have our colors and logos.  I exported the .slz file and I am using the same slz file in all of the help files.  The only help files that are cutting off the icons are the help files that were converted from previous version of RoboHelp.  Any idea why this would happen?

    This is from the converted file showing the icons that are cut off in the blue bar.
    This one is from a new help file and the icons fit within the blue bar.
    The same thing happens the phone layout with the bar at the bottom.

  • Is it possible to link a topic from another help file?

    I apologized if topic has been discussed/answered. I was
    wondering if it is possible to link a topic from another help file?
    So, basically my client has a help file .chm that was created by
    someone else. I am brought in to create another help file. so,
    basically for the help file that i'm creating a topic call vacation
    hours but this topic is already in the previous help file instead
    of including that in the new help file can i create some see also
    link to this topic in the previous help file and the topic vacation
    hours from the previous help file display once someone click on the
    link. please let me if this possible and how i can do this.
    thank in advance
    bob

    Hi, Bob, and welcome,
    Yes, you can create links from one .chm file to another. The
    HTML syntax is as follows:
    <a
    href="TargetHelpFile.chm::/path_to/TargetTopic.htm">Link
    text</a>
    For example:
    <a href="htmlhelp.chm::/topics/chmweb.htm">Click here
    for more information</a>
    To ensure that you're specifying exactly the right path
    information to the target topic:
    1) Open the target help file.
    2) Display the required topic.
    3) Right-click it and then, on the context menu, select
    Properties.
    In the resulting properties dialog box, you can copy the path
    information out of the Address field and abbreviate it
    appropriately (you need the name of the target .chm file and
    everything that follows it).
    For this type of link to work, the target help file must be
    in the same folder as your source help file or in the Windows Help
    folder, or it must be registered under the following key in the
    Windows registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\HTML Help

  • How to update the Help Files

    Hi Team,
    I am in the process of creating a customized help file.
    In the All Projects Tab,under Help Menu can I go and replace the existing pdf downloads with the customized help files?.If yes ,then kindly let me know  the steps.
    Regards,
    Avinash

    You do this in the BP Setup of the BP in question.  So, if this BP lives in the All Projects shell, you could navigate to that shell and switch to Admin mode.  if it is in a Project under that shell, you can navigate to that project and switch to Admin mode.  Then, go to Setup > Business Process.  Open the desired BP and open the general BP setup. You should see a Help File field in the General tab. Remove the existing file and add a new file, as desired.
    This will add the file for that particular shell instance only, so if you want this to be the new help file for all instances of that shell, you can follow the procedure above for a shell template of that type, then update the shells.

  • Do I use WebHelp to export my completed help files?

    I have completed my new help files using roboHelp 7.0.  They are ready to export. 
    I have looked through the RoboHelp files, but am unclear what I need to do to export them.  There is a file called WebHelp, but does it contain all of the help files I have created?  Or do I have to put them there?  If so, how?
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    The WebHelp you see should be a folder, not a file. What you need to do is to copy everything inside that folder where you want it to end up.
    In the Single Source Layout recipe, you should be able to configure a Publish destination. By doing that, when you generate, you should then see a button that is labeled "Publish" that, when clicked, will copy the content to where you want it to end up.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Does LR2 Include a "Real" help file?

    I am woriking with the trial versionof LR2, and one of the problems is that there seems to be no resident version of a help file.
    Two problems with this. First, getting bounced to a Q&A forum is a VERY inefficient way to answer my routine questions. Second, my main photoediting computer is not connected routinely to the internet--So in effect I have no help file at all.
    Am I missing something really simple? Is this an issue related only to the trial version, i.e. will I get a real help file when I complete a purchase? Or is this sorry state of affairs something I'll have to live with if I stay with LR2?

    Say what? A help file doesn't change (significantly) during the life of a product. When I download version 1.4.1 I expect a properly documented program to include a proper help file. When I download Version 2.0 it should come with a NEW help file that is good (with hopefully minor corrections) until version 2.1, etc.
    If software is being properly designed, specified, and documented, you should be able to write 99.8% of the help file even before the coding is complete. There is no excuse for shortcutting the help file other than not employing enough technical writers.
    I am used to Microsoft saying "If you don't like it, lump it", but it is a new experience from Adobe.
    Even the online help is pretty lame. No wonder it is "expected" that I have to go to a discussion forum to get real answers. This might be hard for the techno-geeks to understnad, but I don't want to join an online community, I JUST want a photoediting program!

  • 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.

  • Please fix the Robohelp bug related to supporting underscores (_) in the help files (*.chm)

    There are 10 module specific projects. Further map IDs are assigned in all the 10 module projects to have context sensitivity. These are merged into a single project to generate the entire help file. The output for the project is html help (.chm).
    Initially, we generated the html help and integrated with the application. When tested (pressed F1) the correct topic is displayed but with the ToC for that module and not the entire help. 
    Solution: I followed the steps mentioned in the following thread that I came across on Adobe forum. 
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/240496#240496
    But the solution didn’t work as expected, Further investigation showed that since the output file name had underscore (Module1_EN.chm to denote the language), the solution didn’t work.  Hence I removed the ‘underscore (_)’ from the output file name and generated the output again. This time the solution worked.
    Please refer below the steps for generating the output.
    Steps:
    Generated output (chm) for all the modules.  I had to make sure that the output file name does not contain any ‘underscore (_)’ as this caused the problem when generated the help file.  
    In the main help project (which is an empty container), merged all the projects using Robohelp’s Merged Project functionality.  While merging, I first created empty Book and then merged the project within that book.
    For example, Book1 will contain Module1.chm, Book2 will contain Module2.chm and so on.
    Added window definitions using Project Setup -> New Window. Also added reference to main ToC here by clicking Advanced Properties. (Table of Contents: Main.hhc)
    Selected the above created window while generating the output (Single source layouts -> html help Layout -> Properties).
    Generated the html output for the entire project (Main.chm).
    Decompile the ‘Main.chm’ and extracted the ToC file ‘Main.hhc’.
    For each module project, imported ‘Main.hhc’ as a Baggage File, created window definitions same as the Main project and with reference to ‘Main.hhc’.
    Again generated html output for all the modules.
    Tested CSH for the project. The correct topic displayed with the entire ToC.

    You need to post a bug report to get Adobe's attention. This is a user to user forum. Please follow this link.
    http://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38
    Not sure but I believe it may be a bug in the Microsoft Help Compiler over which Adobe have no control. Microsoft last updated in 2004. Good luck!

  • The new Synaptics UltraNav: a few workarounds and minor bug report.

    I only wanted to file bug report, but then decided to also share what I did with my touchpad configuration to make it more convenient for me. I have Thinkpad T540p so this might work differently or not work at all for other notebooks.
     #1 Regedit
    Configure as much as you can using UltraNav tab in mouse settings dialog. (It is mostly self-explanatory.)
    If you didn't find some option, start regedit (using Win+R) and navigate to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTP\something
    This something is TouchPadSMB2c on T540p but you can find one you need by changing something in settings dialog and looking for changed values in regedit.
    All the touchpad configuration registry keys are there. You need to relogin to apply changes made there.
    But it might take a lot of trial and error to find out how these registry keys work.
    #2 3-finger tap
    As for me, I prefer tapping over clicking. While 3-finger press option is in settings dialog, 3-finger tap is not. But you can change it.
    Set whatever option you want for 3-finger press. Then go to regedit and copy value from 3FingerPressButtonAction key to 3FingerTapAction.
    #3 Button sizes and locations
    You can change button bounds with keys like LeftButtonZoneX where X is L for left, R for right, T for top and B for bottom bounds. 0xFFFFFFFF ultimately means "unlimited in that direction". For finding other values defaults might be helpful. Trackpoint buttons keys are SlaveSomeButtonZoneX.
    What for?
    First, trackpoint buttons can cover the whole trackpad only when trackpad itself is disabled. By changing button sizes manually you can overcome this restriction. It is useful because trackpad does not respond well to pressing corners and when buttons cover it all you can press it somewhere in the middle.
    Second, the same corner pressing problem exists for normal trackpad buttons so it is more convenient to use multi-finger taps or clicks. You can still hold trackpad pressed with one finger and use yet another finger to move mouse pointer.
    At the same time when you tap or press with multiple fingers and one of them touches one of the buttons you get that button pressed instead of whatever you intended. It frustrated me a lot when I got context menu popups while trying to close chrome tabs with middle mouse button click. The solution is to set top bounds for left and right buttons to zero.
    BUG (With the latest UltraNav drivers from support page)
    When the middle trackpoint button (used for scrolling) is enabled, it is always enabled, no matter if you are using trackpont or touchpad. Left and right trackpoint buttons are properly disabled when you don't need them.
    Even if you disable trackpoint completely without disabling that middle button first, it will remain enabled and will do nothing. (Blocking single- and multi-finger presses that touch it.)
    I could not find a way to fix that problem with regedit.

    Any problem can get official response and follow-up through a SR on Metalink/MOS (if you have a DB support contract), else you can post here and hope someone from development picks it up.
