Panel rotation problem

If I change the rotation property of a panel, the title will disappear.
Although I use the embed font file. How should I do ?
<mx:Panel title="Title" width="300" height="500" id="panel"
click="panel.rotation+=2;"/>
CSS FILE
@font-face{
src: url("msyh.ttf");
font-family: MM;
global
font-family: MM;

It works. Thanks !
Panel
font-family: MM;
/*font-weight:normal;
font-style:normal;*/
title-style-name: newtitlestlye;
.newtitlestlye
font-weight: normal;
font-family: MM;

Rotation problem after editing in Photoshop

I'm using Lightroom 1.3 and Photoshop CS3 with all the current updates. This problem was the same in LR1 and PS CS2.
I have a mix of orientations in the JPEGs in my library - portrait and landscape. When the photos are imported into LR they appear correct. If I select a bunch of them, open them in PS (using Edit in Photoshop > Edit Originals), run a noise filter, save them, and then go back to LR, the previews for the portrait images are rotated so that all the previews show as landscape.
The portrait images display correctly (except for the fact that they have been rotated) in the Library module - both grid and loupe view). In the Develop module, the image aspect is displayed portrait but the image is as a distorted landscape - the image is rotated and then distorted to fill the portrait oriented space. In the Print module, that same distorted image is fills the portrait oriented page. To be clear, instead of a portrait image appearing in the correct orientation on a portrait page preview, the image is rotated 90 degrees and then stretched to fill the page.
There is a badge on the preview indicating that the metadata is out of sync with the file.
If I rotate the image in LR, the badge goes away and the image appears portrait and undistorted in the Library module's grid and loupe views. The Develop module show the portrait image in the correct rotation, but has been stretched to a landscape aspect. The Print module shows that distorted image rotated to fit the portrait page.
The only way to correct this is to "Read Metadata from file". This resets all the orientation information so that it displays correctly in LR, but all the tags and IPTC information gets erased.
This is most of the reason why I was writing all the metadata into to files until now. I would write the metadata before editing in PS, do my PS edits, and then back in LR I'd "Read the Metadata" from the files to set everything correctly in LR. But of course now that I'm working with Leopard I get screwed if I do this because my files will crash the Finder.
To top it all off, I've run into the "...cannot be saved because the file is in use" problem with some files I opened last night.
Clearly none of these issues are being addressed in Adobe or Apple's updates. Is there a reasonable workaround that will let me:
1. set metadata and tags and know that they won't either get lost or cause problems
2. have image orientation respected and displayed correctly
3. not crash any of the three critical applications on this computer - Lightroom, Photoshop, and Finder.

I really appreciate your explaining this Jao.
I'm going to explain how I got into this situation, in the hopes that it may prove useful to someone (I'm looking at you, Adobe) who wants to understand how the app is being used in the real world.
So as not to break up the narrative, let me just say that I'd be happy (ecstatic, actually) if I could use Lightroom for my entire workflow, but the noise reduction filter in LR is just nowhere near as good as NoiseNinja. (A problem shared by LR, PS, and Aperture.) If I could run NN from inside LR, that would rock.
Oh, and I shoot JPEG because I shoot live events where the lighting is usually crap and I need to be ready at any moment for something interesting to happen. Shooting RAW would be nice, but it's too slow and takes up way too much space.
So here's what I do, (hopefully edited to make the reading non-tedious)
1. import all photos from source (usually memory cards)
The photos go onto a drive reserved for photos. I shoot events, so everything is organised by date-event. On import I set filenames (date - event name - time stamp.jpg) and keywords.
2. cull
They get marked "1" (irretrievably useless, to be deleted), "2" (keep just in case), "3" (decent shots), "4" (photos that I want to show to other people), or "5" (this is one of my best this year). Delete the "1"s.
3. select 20-30 "picks"
I create a folder within the event folder called "Picks" for these photos. Then I duplicate that folder as "Originals"
In doing it this way I can protect myself if I need/want to change my cataloguing application. I'm on my fourth one at this point (Lightroom) and while I am generally finding that LR is meeting my needs more than anything else I've tried, I've been burned in the past (how many of us have regretted letting Aperture put all our photos into an incomprehensible database/folder hell?)
The Picks/Originals structure makes sure that the originals never get touched (because it doesn't show up in LR) and I can quickly find the Picks.
I -was- writing the metadata to the files so the ratings, keywords, and IPTC info was where it should be - attached to the photo. I've stopped doing this for the time being until this whole Finder-craching debacle is corrected.
So why am I not using LR's built "Edit - Copy"/stacking function, which more or less duplicates my process?
Well part of it was my own dumbness - Aperture made the edited copy/variation a Photoshop file, which ballooned my collections with staggering speed. I'm not sure if LR used to do the same thing, or I just made the assumption. My mistake.
The other part of the problem is just the simplicity of having an Originals folder that is effectively ignored. Using LR will mix the "-edited" files in with originals, which is not as efficient or elegant a solution, but I'll give it a whirl.
Thanks for your suggestion. If giving up my Picks/Original process solves the rotation problem then perhaps it's a fair trade.
Still, it seems that the right hand is somehow oblivious to what the left hand is doing in the whole PS/LR thing, and that it ought not work that way.

Catalyst+awesome35 panel refresh problem

Hello,
met anyone problems with this combination and panel update problem?
I tried catalyst stable and beta from arch wiki, and awesome 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 ... And I have problem that, when I switch to any nonempty tag, then my upper panel(tasklist,taglist) will not be refreshed(re-render,update ....). There are still old applications visible. I must take some action, for example focus window, or when CPU widget refresh, then it will be fine and right tag/task list appears.
I tried:
catalyst 13.4 13.11
awesome 3.5.1 3.5.2
X 1.13 1.14
In all combinations I have this problem.
I tried
awesome 3.4, with this version all is OK, but I dont want learn deprecated configuration.
I tried
open source vga drivers, with this driver all is OK. But it consumes much more power.
Thanks for help.

Not sure if it could help but I had a problem in awesome 3.5.1 (and wasn't present in 3.4). And I think the problem you describe is the same I had.
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf put this

IPad Rotation Problem

After just 1 week bought the iPad.. i'm facing the rotation problem.. the Apple technicians said its hdware problem and send back to Apple Service Centre... Feel very very sad with this situation... wasting my time and probably my money...

1. Check the little black rotation lock on the edge of iPad.
2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

Iphone 6 rotating problem

My ipone6 has rotating problems with for example the calendar app, somtimes it's working but most of time I can't rotate the screen.
When is this going to be solved, as I many people are complaining about this?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Or, if you want to use your computer and iTunes instead:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If setting it up as new device does not bring back the full functionality of your brightness settings, get the phone checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider, Apple Store or contact Apple Support to have it serviced:

no,it the server rotates the log only the first time but then it continues to write on the .log001.On the original file it continues to write some server exception.

Rotation Problem on FCP

Friends,
When I rotate a video on FCP (does not matter the degrees, 20, 45, 90...), using the motion tab, my rendered images gets sort kind of distortion... When I preview it on FCP, it rotates ok, but when I export using the Compressor, when the video rotates, it squeezes, it does not look right...
Please, could someone help me?
Thanks

Yes - the button is in rotation lock mode (not mute).
Neither switch setting (up or down) work. The state of the button is accurately reflected on the screen when changed, but the problem of not rotating problem when unlocked persists.
Given that this started just after updating to iOS 7.0.6 I'm inclined to think there is a software issue.

3d rotation problem with CS5 (newbie)

Hi everyone,
as in Illustrator newbie this is my first post.
I have created a 3d bullet shape by merging a couple of rounded rectangles, then using window > graphic style libiries > 3d effect > 3d effect 21 I have converterted my shape into a 3d cylinder shape with indents at each end. I should note here that I am not sure whether what I have done at this stage is a true 3d shape.
My problem is that I want to rotate the bullet in such a way that I can see it from the front like it is heading towards you (with a bit of the side visible).
I have tried using the Effect > 3D > Rotate option and indeed I can rotate the image in such a way that the mesh rotation guide is displaying just as i want but sadly the shape inside the guide has just turned into a flat plane. I have also tried to use the 3d Extrude & Bevel / Revolve options but each time the program freezes when trying to render the artwork.
I am using Illustrator CS5 64bit in Windows 7. Any help or nudges in the right direction would be greatly appreciated
many thanks
Col

they way you rotate your 3D effect in the way you wish is not to add a new or extra effect but rather to edit the original effect.
1 Select the objects
2 Then go to the appearance panel
3 double click the 3D Effect to bring up the dialog window
4. then use the positioning proxy to rotate the effect on the selected objects.

GridBagLayout and Panel Border problem

I have 3 panels like
A
B
C
and the C panel has a Mouse Listener that on a mouseEntered creates a border around the same panel and on a mouseExited clears that border.
When this border is created the A and B panels go up a little bit .. they move alone when the border is created.
Is there any way to fix this problem? Is there any way to get the panels static?

Image Orientation/Rotation Problem in Lightroom 3.2 Final

This is a continuation of my previous post regarding this same problem in 3.2RC. It's still happening in the Final version of Lightroom 3.2.
THE PROBLEM
Image orientation is not working properly in Lightroom 3.2. This affects newly imported images and images that were already in my Lightroom database - and which have been in the database since Version 1.
Here's a screen capture showing the strange displays I'm seeing in Lightroom's grid mode:
Notice the odd angle of the image. When I use the Rotate Photo Left tool, the display looks like this sometimes. After a second or so, it will snap to either a vertical or horizontal orientation by itself but rarely gives me the 90-degree rotation this tool should give. The image may flip 90-degrees or 180-degrees, there's no way to tell.
When I view the image in Loupe view or on my second monitor, the orientation shown in Grid view does not match that displayed in Loupe Vew. For this particular image, Grid view currently shows it as correctly orientated as a horizontal while Loupe view shows it rotated 90-degrees to the right. Shouldn't they match?
BACKGROUND
I never had a problem with image orientation in any preveious version of Lightroom prior to Lightroom 3.2RC and 3.2 Final. So, it seems to be a bug in 3.2. I'm still using the same computer and video card I used with previous versions. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium. Both Windows and Lightroom are 64-bit.
HELP!
Is anyone else having this problem? How can I solve it?

The size of the catalogue is almost certainly not at play here.
FWIW, I recall seeing something like this once a long time ago on a Mac, possibly with Lr 3 beta, or Lr 2.x. It went away with a restart. It almost looks like a threading issue, where a thread is suspended or preempted and then is lost or disconnected from the main UI thread.
I recall you can just rotate the image again and it will right itself.
Adobe fist-line support seem to want to use the number of images in the catalogue as some sort of catch-all. The problem with this is that most of us can demonstrate that there is little correspondence with the number of image IDs in the database and many reported UI artefacts.
I'd keep raising this with them, and suggesting that the size of the catalogue is probably not at play here. As a tactic, you can ask what the maximum size of a catalogue should be, and if it is raw images or the number of changes to the images and virtual copies that is the problem, and if this can be verified by second- or third-line support.

File Panel Directory Problem

I'm running Dreamweaver 8 on Mac OS X accessing a connected
samba file share. In the file panel, I noticed something strange.
Some directories do not show as folders, but as an unknown file
type. Refreshing the list produces the same. I began looking at the
pattern of strange directories. Every one that has a problem
contains a subdirectory named the same as the parent. By renaming
the subdirectory to something different, and then refreshing the
file panel, they appeared normally. Since I cannot rename all of
the subdirectories, I need a better solution. Any suggestions would
be appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you seen if this same problem occurs on another site?
Just to be sure
I understand, you have a folder named "foo", and if it
contains a folder
named "foo" you see an unknown file type?

G4 Flat Panel power problem

Hi
We recently had a power cut and since then I have been unable to start up our imac flat panel. We have tried the fuse, plugged it in somewhere else and checked all the leads etc, but hold the power button on and nothing. I changed the PRAM batery about 3-4 years ago and have not had this problem before this occasion. Does anyone know if there is an internal fuse or a reset button etc

The reset often tried after a power outage or other interrupt, requires one to follow instructions in the maintenance support article regarding a reset of the Power Management Unit (PMU) as follows.
•Resetting the iMac (flat panel G4) Power Management Unit (PMU)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1712
This article has a few helpful images of the computer and basic explanations on how to do the procedure.
Other more in-depth items may require more take-apart know-how and techniques which will be more tedious and would follow instructions such as those outlined in an official iMac G4 Apple repair manual in PDF. These may be hard to get. While I have three iMac G4 17" 1.25GHz desktop computers, none of them are up and running at this time; my original one has a power issue and I believe it may be a failed power supply. Of the other two, one was acquired as non-running parts computer, but it has a good power supply, optical drive, display, and a few other parts. The third iMac in my instance, needs a replacement optical drive; so while I have three of these, all of them would require disassembly to remedy their various issues.
When you take apart one of these, be sure to have some new Thermal Paste, a new/fresh clock Battery, a means of re-torquing the internal chassis to required specification, and remember to remove all the old thermal paste from the heat transfer conduits before re-assembly. If you can get the correct Service Manual for this iMac G4 (several in series) which was an official Apple document, in PDF, it would be of great help in troubleshooting the issues. Some of the suggested repair procedures require access to known-good parts; in part to swap out and help find out what is not wrong with it.
Online sources of information vary, as do their worthiness and value as problem solving tools, depending on depth of the troubles involved. Even a site with info such as this iFixit may offer tips for some situations: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iMac_G4 -- And the xlr8yourmac article on how to Take-apart iMac G4 for Drive and Ram upgrades has a few others: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/imac_g4/imacg4_takeapart.html
There are test ports or holes under the first bottom plate cover on the iMac G4 where one could use a multimeter and small tipped probes to check for correct voltage outputs from the computer power supply. There is a chance one of the power supply transformer voltage outputs may have failed.
Sometimes, a power failure may coincide with other parts failures; in example, a hard disk drive on its last legs may be affected by a power surge or outage timed upset, and that contains startup disk OS files.
To find a qualified and trained technician who can and will help repair these older models, can be a problem in and of itself; several shops also sell new hardware and their answer for an old unique computer, is to get a new not-so unique model from them. With the correct Service Manuals, you could eventually repair one of these, if you can get good quality replacement parts at low cost and do the work yourself.
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

Character rotation problem in tiled map

Hi I am trying to rotate the character in a tiled map. Its is successful but theres problem with moving diagonally. When i pressed for example up and right keypressed, when its moving it will rotate as i wanted but when i released the buttons, it either rotate to the up or right. I want the image to rotate diagonally and stay as it is when i released the buttons.
Here are my source code...I noe its very long but really need someone help...There are 3 java files. (Sorry for dis long and ridiculous codes...)

rotate() should always be accompanied with appropriate translate().

And, never mix AWT components with Swing ones.
Use JPanel instead of Canvas.
Use also standard drawing/painting technique shown above URSs.

Edit JS on spry sliding panels widget to fix auto panel height problem

Hi guys,
Ive been trying for a while to make the sliding panels widget
show each panel in its own height instead of the longest panel's height in the container.
I tried reading all the js file to play with it and find a solution but the truth is i dont know how to do what i want.
I do, however, have a list of things that i believe if implemented should work,
could you help me do these fixes on the js? ( any one you know how to or think will work )
1. edit so that: Panels dont have any height ( or panel content display none ) if it isnt current panel. If current panel is "id:1" the assume class 1 style properties. As soon as it looses focus/"currentpanel" class it looses its class 1 properties. And the new current panel ("id:2") assumes its own class 2 properties. And so on.
2. edit so that: PanelContainer ( the one that holds all the panels ) displays none BUT the current panel. So all panels could be display none unless they assume the "currentpanel" class and so they change to display. Maybe this way the container assumes only the height of the displayed panel and looses it once its no longer displayed assuming the next displayed one.
3. edit so that: Panel container checks for current panel's height and assumes that height instantly ( there is still a panel inside the container that would be longer than the current panel, maybe with overflow hidden this isnt a problem )
4. Using SpryDOMUtils.js I am currently playing with the code pasted below,
the idea came from Gramp's Spry Sliding Panels Group Navigation Buttons cookbook
He addresses a different problem, but since it has to do with identifying the current panel and doing something when the panel is x number, i thought there could be a height property set for each panel when each is the current one, atleast something can be done with this, my problem is i dont know how to set that something. Please check out the following code:
<script>
// The following function - setPanelNavigation() - assumes the following
// 1. Sliding Panels have a class of SlidingPanelsContent AND a unique ID
// 2. The Previous Panel button has an ID of previousPanel
// 3. The Next Panel button has an ID of nextPanel
// 4. SpryDOMUtils.js has been linked
function setPanelNavigation() {
    var current = sp1.getCurrentPanel(); // Get the current panel
    var panelCount = sp1.getContentPanelsCount(); // Get the total number of panels
    var panelNumber=1; // Give a value to the first panel number
    Spry.$$(".SlidingPanelsContent").forEach(function(node) { // Cycle through the panels
                 if (node.id==current.id){ // The current panel now receives a number
         if ( panelNumber==1 ) Spry.$$(".SlidingPanelsContentGroup").setAttribute('height', 750); //
           if ( panelNumber==2 ) Spry.$$(".SlidingPanelsContentGroup").setAttribute('height', 250); //
        panelNumber++; // Go to next panel after incrementing the count
Spry.Utils.addLoadListener(setPanelNavigation); // Set buttons to initial value
var sp1 = new Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels("panelwidget");
</script>
What am i doing wrong in that bit ? I thought i had it there, but it didnt work.
Anyone, please help. Thank you.

After Effects Puppet Tool "Warping Upon Rotation"problem

Hi Everyone,
I am having a big issue with my newly puppeted after-effects character. I have rigged up a character I made originally in illustrator. I placed puppet pins, expressed to null objects I use as controllers, then parented to each other. I have done this many times before, with no problem. However, this time, when I rotated the "Parent" Null, the child nulls follow as usual, but in this case, the object is warped through the rotation (attached pictures below). I have been using the "Puppettools 3" Plug-in, and when the bug showed up using that, I tried using this expression (upon the pins themselves):
A=thisComp.layer("NULL_OBJECT");
fromWorld(A.toWorld(A.anchorPoint));
which accomplishes the same thing, just through a longer, manual process. In both cases, the object warps. Before expressing to nulls, the rotation works fine. Anyone know why it would be behaving like this? Perhaps there is something I overlooked in the process? Not sure. Any help appreciated. Thanks
First image: starting point.
Second image: rotation only on the "Parent" null and pin. no other pins moved, it simply warps to that form without my action.

Hi Rick,
Thank you for this detailed and exemplified response, everything you are saying makes sense, and the examples seem to be exactly what I am dealing with. I tested out this troubleshooting option, but unfortunately, my mesh is still not working. I tried different values of triangles - 200, 350, 370, 600, 900, and even 1500 (the max), and it still warps. My best number was 1024, but that also seems ridiculously high. Could it be because my pin placements are not linear enough? Or there are too many in such a small area? My triangles don't seem to distribute as well as yours. Here are pictures of my mesh:
