Persistent swatch libraries not persistent in CS5

I love the Middle Ages swatch library.
But everytime I open Illustrator CS5 the library is nowhere to be seen, even though I repeatedly tell it to be "persistent".
Funny thing is, when I go through the steps to make it persistent again, the option is already checked.
Is this a bug?

Hi, thanks. They are in Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator Cs5 > Presets > en_
US
Should I move them into the swatches folder? Could try that.

Swatch Libraries Basic Graphics won't stay on.

I have Illustrator CS5 and I want the Basic Graphics (Dots, Lines, Textures) menu under Patterns in Swatch Libraries to stay on the dock whenever I start Illustrator. I save a new workspace with the libraries attached to the dock on the right hand side but when I restart Illustrator the button is not there and I have to open it manually each time. Please help.

Many thanks. And many apologies...
I had already followed all those steps, and double checked them, so I thought that there must be some form of hardware conflict that needed to be resolved. As a last resort, I hooked up the problem monitor to another computer. Lo and behold, the monitor had coincidentally chosen that moment to go on the fritz.
Thanks again.

I have no adobe workspaces(like as Essintials) and no swatch libraries.

You have permissions issues on teh respective folders most likely. Since you have not provided any system information, nobody can advise specifically. Check your user folder permissions and that stuff...

Swatch libraries

I'm on ID CS3 and I can't get any of the swatch libraries to open for me. From the swatch palette I go to load swatches, then in the presets folder, I find swatch libraries, but everything is grayed out in the folder. Can't access them. Also tried loading swatches from Illustrator CS3 and also thru Bridge, Color books. In every case, I can see the files, but don't have access to open them. What's wrong with this picture??

If I understand correctly, the "Load Swatches" option allows you to import swatches from a separate InDesign file. The Swatch Libraries are already available when you're editting or creating a new swatch. The Color Mode menu lets you choose from RGB, CYMK, Pantone, Focoltone, etc.

Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

CANNOT edit or view CR2 RAW FILES.
works fine with Canon 5d mk 2....

Yes, hopefully all you need to do is go to Help>Updates in photoshop cs5 and get camera raw 6.7

Camera raw 7.2 will not install within CS5.5, but need it to read nrw files from P7700.

camera raw 7.2 will not install within CS5.5, but need it to read nrw files from P7700. Besides DNG Converter, what can I do to use files directly?

Your next option is to upgrade photoshop. If you can't afford the full version (less than $20/month) you could get elements, it uses the latest version of camera raw, but I think it is a stripped down version though.

Lightroom 3 does not see Photoshop CS5 as Primary EXTERNAL editor

After removing prior versions of Lightroom (2.7) and Photoshop (CS4), Lightroom 3 does not recognize Photoshop CS5 64 bit or 32 bit as the PRIMARY external editor. I can select the file and edit in the proper file, but the other options are greyed out.

Missing Registry entry caused by uninstalling CS4 AFTER installing CS5.

Saving color groups as ASE swatch libraries

Is there a way to save an llustrator color group as an ASE swatch library? When I try to do this, the entire library, including all the default swatches are saved, whe all I want are the particular swatches I've added to a new colour group. I want to be able to save swatch libraries for various clients, then be able to access them in InDesign and Photoshop as well. Or alternatively, is there a way to remove unwanted swatches from a swatch library once it's been saved? Thanks! (Using CS6 on a Mac running 10.8.4)

Ask in the AI forum. Generally it works as it should, but there may some smart way or script to optimize your workflow.

Swatch libraries suddenly unavailable

Having the strangest problem. When I want to edit or create a new swatch, two strange things are happening:
1) in the pull down list of swatch libraries, the list repeats several times ... so it looks as if there are dozens and dozens of libraries, when in fact it's the same standard ones scrolling by over and over.
2) no matter which one I select, Trumatch pops up. So I can select Trumatch colors to my heart's content (something I've never wanted to do), but cannot select a pantone, or even a CMYK breakdown.
I've gone into Indesign's application folder and tried temporarily removing the Trumatch library, and then all the swatch libraries. Doesn't fix it. Neither does deleting prefs. I've restarted Indesign several times, restarted the computer, run all kinds of system maintenance routines. Nada.
Any thoughts?
If the answer is "re-install indesign," is there a simple way I can preserve some of my preferences, like my palette layouts?
Thanks so much.

You don't need to reinstall, just replace the prefs, but you do need to do it correctly. See Replace Your Preferences
If you do want to backup your workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, find/change queries, and a lot of other things, you'll find them in your user profile/library.

Related files not showing in CS5

In Dreamweaver CS4, files related to the source file (for example, source file: index.php, related file referenced in source file: index.css) are shown just below the source file name in the toolbar above code/design view, but related files are not shown in CS5. In CS5, clicking in the main menu "View" -> "Related Files" shows "(No Related Files)." but index.css is a related file. Was this an intended change in CS5 or am I not understanding what a related file is?

Hi David,
I've completely lost my Related Files toolbar.
And when I edit my stylesheet and click ENTER, I get the following error message:
"An unexpected error occurred while trying to read style-sheet information."
Please advise.

QT libraries not found [Solved]

I am having trouble compiling bibletime from the aur. I download it then run makepkg, but I get the same error everytime:
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop
Now when I run pacman -S qt I get:
:: qt-3.3.8-5: local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n]
So I know its installed. Any help on this?

Your qt-config is probably pointing at QT4 at the moment. As root:
qt-config qt
Then as your regular user before you compile:
source /etc/profile

24 fps video does not play in CS5.5 source monitor without choppy motion

Problem: 24 fps video does not play in CS5.5 source monitor without choppy motion. 30 frame will play fine. I took the same 24fps shot, using the exact same setup parameters, and played it in my CS5.0. No problem. I did them side by side and checked to make sure everything was EXACLTY the same. The 24fps shot played smoothly in the CS5.0 source monitor. Can anyone tell me what the solution might be to get the CS5.5 to play smoothly? When I rendered it on the timeline in CS5.5 it played smoothly on the timeline. Perplexed.

Thanks Tood,
Here's the other info. I am running CS5.5 on a windows 7 ultimate 64bit (service pack 1) OS. All of the recent updates have been installed on both the OS and the CS5.5. The source footage is H.264.mov from a nikon d7000 at 1080p 24fps. My video card is an Nvida GeForce GTX285. My processor is an Intel Core i7 3.33GHz with 12GB ram. I am running no third party codecs or effects. I am using the Mercury Playback engine GPU accelerator. I am using a DSLR24 frame project setting.
Here is the problem: When I bring a 1920x1080 24fps.mov file into my DSLR24 frame project, or any project setting, in my CS5.5 and open it in the source monitor it plays as if it is trying to catch up; stuttering and skipping; it plays the same on the sequence timeline until I render it. I get no error messages. When I bring the exact same file into my CS5.0, with the exact same project settings, it plays perfectly in the source monitor and on the timeline without rendering. When I bring in a 1280x720 24fps.mov or any other size file into my CS5.5 in any project configuration, it plays perfectly smoothly. Everything plays smoothly without renedering in the source monitors of my CS5.0 and CS5.5 except for a 1920x1080 24fps.mov file in CS5.5. The exact one that I need to play there.
I would have no problem cutting in my CS5.0 if it intergrated with audition; which is why I bought the CS5.5.
Thanks,
