Option-drag selection not working in CS6 layer panel

Thought I'd force myself to use CS6 on a new project. I want to select multiple objects using "Option-drag", in the Layer Panel, but it doesn't work as it does in CS5.
Is there a different shortcut for selecting multiple contiguous objects using the Layer Panel, in CS6? Of course, I mean "Select" not "highlight".
Thanks.

Ok so it has been omitted in CS 6 and I think the reason is is because of the change to the Layers panel function.
That is because you can now rename and object directky with the Layers Panel rather than use the Layer Options.
Whether this wa intentional or by accident I do not know but that is why I think it has been changed.
I would make a feature request to either return it to Option Drag or Or Option Click to select a contigous selection of objects.
I notice that many people use names for their paths on even modest ai files so I would think being able to name the objects and layers are a really important feature but so is the feature you referring to though I think Click-Option Click would be even better on rellly large complex Illustrations.

Pattern Fill layer not working out of layer panel

Banging my head against the monitor! All of a sudden I cannot make a Pattern Fill layer from the layer panel (It's greyed out). I can create one from Layer -> New Fill Layer -> Pattern. Can anyone tell me the stupid key I bumped to make this happen. I had just used it yesterday. See attatched.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I'm in 8bit RGB

Can't think of anything I have done since yesterday
Have you loaded MORE patterns? There's an enormous amount in there, See if deleting some or moving them helps- use preset manager for this

Pages panel: Option-drag to duplicate broken in CS6

For some reason, the ability to quickly duplicate a page or spread in the Page panel via an Option-drag doesn't work in CS6. If I try to, say, Option-drag page 3 to insert a duplicate of it between pages 8 and 9, all it does is move page 3 there. To get the desired result, I have to first duplicate the page (which inserts it at the end of my document), then drag it to the proper place.
Option-drag to duplicate/insert worked fine in previous versions, and it's expected behavior on the Mac. Am I missing something here?

Thanks, Bob!
I've also noticed that sometimes Option-drag does nothing at all. I get a spinning beachball for a second, then... nothing.
I'm hesitant to believe that trashing my preferences will fix this, as I've seen this happen on two separate Macs.

In iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8

Tom at the Genius Bar told me that Option Delete would work. It does not.
I had to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.(I26) because it is required with OS7 on my iPod Touch (5th Gen). I have tried shutting down iTunes, then shutting down the entire system. This is the first in many visits that the Genius Bar gave me a solution that did not work.
This is a big awkward computer locked to my desk. I would rather not unlock it and then carry it through a shopping center to the Genius Bar if i can avoid oit.
When I installed iTunes 11.1, I discovered that Ihad to resubscribe to virtually all of the podcasts that I had previously been subscribed to. That was a surprise.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

I tried this code for photoshop CC and CC 2014, it works for both but I couldn't get it to run for cs6 it gives the below error from the extension manager:
so isn't Version="[13.0,15.9]" correct? why would it not work for cs6? thanks in advance.

Hi,
CS6 doesn't support HTML Panels but Flash ones, this should be the why the Adobe Extension Manager fails.
You might find help here (Flash): Creative Suite Extension Builder and here (HTML): Extension Builder 3

Lighting Effect not work in CS6*

Why Filter/ Render/ Lighting Effect not work in CS6?
It's not work only in CS6 Beta or in anything else :-/. It's Useful with me

A bit more information would be helpful. What is happening on your system when you go to lighting effects?
What system are you running on? What video card are you using? Are you using the most recent driver?
Do check our system FAQ as GPU is requried for lignting effects to work properly.
FAQ: What features use the GPU and how do I troubleshoot GPU issues?

Photoshop CC. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush.

Hi, Photoshop CC. Windows 8.1 64 bit. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush. I have tried rebooting and other things like closing swatch panel etc.
The alt key is otherwise OK. It's not the recent upgrade from Win 8 to 8.1 (5 days ago) because the colour selection facility was working yesterday. Any ideas.

I'd say things sound desperate enough to try resetting Preferences
Reset Preferences
Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop
If that fails, we need to know your operating system?
Do you have a full CC subscription, or by apps do you mean Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom?
Another other information that might pertain ?

Image drag drop not working in scaffholding. Does it require soem setting?

image drag drop not working in scaffholding. Does it require soem setting?

Hello Manoj,
The scaffolding teamplate which you use to create scaffolding page is actually a design prototype which helps you to create similar types of pages instances very quickly without authoring each page separately (for example news, aticle types of pages) and that is the concept of scaffolding only.
For example - When you go to location http://localhost:4502/miscadmin#/etc/scaffolding/geometrixx you will see a "News" page which is an example of scaffolding (this is a similar page which you can create using scaffolding template).
Now if you open this page you will be accessing http://localhost:4502/cf#/etc/scaffolding/geometrixx/news.html and here you will see already design page.
     1. if you access page properties from side kick you will see how this page is configured using target template and target path
     2. if you go to design mode using side kick you will see how the component has been design (which is similar to what appears on page when you came first time)
     3. Now come back to normal view of that page (http://localhost:4502/cf#/etc/scaffolding/geometrixx/news.html) and author this page with some dummy property and click on "create" button. I know here you can not author the image as it comes as disabled empty box.
     4. once you author the content and click on create button it will create an instance of scaffolding page on the same page you can see the link on the top of same page.
     5. Now access that page, when you access that page the page will take reference of target template you configured using pare preoperties to display the page.
     6. On this page you will see the same component you configured and when you will edit it you can author the image from there directly.
Now question is why to configure same component two times half data from scaffolding and half data from page but answer is the design is correct because the page design which you have created (for example http://localhost:4502/cf#/etc/scaffolding/geometrixx/news.html) is just proto type to create actual page instances and prototype can not holds values for page instance (specially image until it doesnt configured correctly for page instance in this case) which exist only when you create pages using the scaffolding page prototype. Otherwise you have to do more customization by extending scaffolding "/libs/wcm/scaffolding" changing the code and design OR you have to design it according to your target page strtucture which you have configured in page properties (specially image node).
If you want to create your own page prototype using scaffolding template and want image to associate just copy paste "/etc/scaffolding/geometrixx/news/jcr:content/dialog/items/items/tab2" node to your newly created scaffolding page prototype.
for more information on scaffolding just refer -http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/scaffolding.html
I hope it clarifies your question and help you to proceed. Let me know if you need more information or help.
Thanks,
Pawan

How does it "not work"?
What OS version are you using?

IMac bocked on start up. Password forgotten. Command-option-p-r not working

iMac bocked on start up. Password forgotten. Command-option-p-r not working

"Bocked"? Is that a word?
The key combination you mention is for resetting parameter RAM or PRAM. Nothing really to do with passwords.
At what stage is it asking for a password?

Moving this discussion to photoshop Forum discussion.

When I restart, previous tabs & websites open. I have selected open in new page in options this does not work

When I start my computer and open Firefox, all the tabs from the previous session open. For now, I have to return each session to my home page (Google) prior to closing to prevent this from occuring. I have selected "When Firefox starts show my home page" this does not work. I have de selected and then reselected this option numerous times and it has now become a very big annoyance. I am about to uninstall Mozilla if this cant be rectified.
