Png file locked

I've created, edited (multiple times) and saved a png file in
Fireworks MX 2004. When I tried to open the file again to do some
editing, it seems to be locked. I've edited this file many, many
times before. Could I have accidentally hit or activated something
that has made the file uneditable? Has anyone else had this
problem?

Check System Preferferences > Accounts > Login Items
And HD > Library > StartupItems
And try Spotlight. Click the magnifying glass icon top right corner of your screen.
Type the name of the file in the Spotlight search field.

  • Can't open PNG files in Photoshop CS5...??

    I'm seeing lots of threads with this problem but none of them seem to have an answer.
    For some reason right now when I try to open a PNG file in Photoshop it just crashes.  I end up with a neverending "hour glass".
    I had all of my website project directories on a network share.  As I'm no longer sharing all of these files with an office of people I decided to move all of these project files back to my own local machine.  Ever since I've done that I can't open PNG files in Photoshop anymore.
    Any information on what could have caused this, or more importantly, how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I was able to edit PNG files just fine up until today, and the only thing I've done is move the files from the network share to my local hard drive.
    Any PNG, large or small won't work right now.  All of the other threads I see where people are talking about this say it's happening with their GIF files, too.  I just tried one here and the same thing happened.  From within Photoshop I did File -> Open, browsed to my image directory and the moment I clicked on one of the GIF files it locked up.
    So yeah, I'm certain it's isolated to my machine right now.  I just have no idea at all what could possibly be causing this.  The other threads are mentioning netework shares, too, but usually still trying to open over the network.  In my case it was working fine when I did it over the network, but now that I'm opening local files it's failing.

  • Can't  drag around PNG files

    Hi, I just got Windows CS3 and have discovered I can't drag png files into other file windows in CS3. I can drag jpg's, psd pieces from different layers, tif's - but not png's. I could in 7.0. What am I forgeting?

    Nothing. File format has nothing to do with the image once it is loaded into photoshop. Is it a background layer? Maybe locked? Have you tried selecting the entire image? (ctrl-a) If you can select it you can copy and paste it.
    Another possibility is you found some kind of bug. Did you try trashing the configuration files? In the Faq of this forum it should tell you how.
    Good luck,
    Silk

  • File locking with OSX Server & Microsoft Word

    We have a small office LAN based on a Airport Extreme bases station. Periodically Microsoft Word reports a break in connection to the shared folder where we store documents to get disconnected. When that happens and the user reconnects to the share, the user gets the file read-only message for the Word document that was open at the time.
    I have found that in order to clear the read-only flag, I have to restart the server and open the Word file on the server with the ID of the user who was editing the file on the remote computer. Only that seems to clear the file locking that causes the file to be read-only.
    I cannot figure out a less drastic way to release the lock file. I don't see any hidden temp files in the same folder as the document that is locked for editing found by ls -a or in the root direction of the shared folder in the .TemporaryItems/folders.<UID> that seems to be holding the lock.
    I have run chflags nouchg <Word file> from Terminal, but that seems to have no effect either. I also used xattr to see if there were any locks held that way, but I don't see anything that way either.
    File sharing to Macs only, which are configured just to use AFP through OSX Server.
    Does anyone understand how the file locks of Word documents can be released directly with out restarting the server?
    I should add that the underlying problems seems to be WiFi related. The behavior is that the WiFi connection seems to break long enough that the shared volumes disconnects. Outlook also causes a break. This behavior seems to have started with 10.9 and the purchase of new Retina Display MacBook Pros. I turned off AppNap on the Office applications but that is not clearly helpful. I also have been told the problem seems more likely to occur when Word is open in the background and another program like Outlook is in the foreground.
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Apple write an operating system and also produce file sharing software as part of that to be used as a file server. Apple provide documentation for third-party software developers on how they should write software to work with Apple's software and also give those developers early access to new versions so those third-party developers can test and if needed make adjustments and issue updates to cope with any Apple changes.
    Some third-party developers are good at dealing with this, some are bad, and some totally ignore what Apple does and give the impression they don't care if their product works properly or not. I think we can all judge where Microsoft sits.
    It appears Microsoft have never paid any attention in particular to how Apple expect file-locking to be handled when accessing files on a Mac server. There have been problems for years and years and years with Office. Two other problems I have seen which seem different to yours but probably related are -
    With Office documents it is supposed to be possible for more than one person to edit the same file at the same time, consider it a miracle if this actually works
    With Office in particular Word, there is an auto-save function, unfortunately the way this seems to be implemented it seems that Word creates a new temporary file each time it auto-saves the document and keeps all the previous temporary files open still, this eventually means potentially over a hundred temporary files are open - just for one Word document and you can then hit a limit on the total number of files you are allowed to have open at the same time. At this point further auto-saves fail, and you also encounter great difficulty doing a real full save of the document.
    I do not hold Apple completely blameless over this issue, it is likely their file-locking implementations change too often, and have inadequate documentation, however even considering this a company the size of Microsoft with the amount of sales (and profit) they derive from Office for the Mac has no excuses at all for failing to put the effort in to resolve any such clearly critical problems.
    We could go on and on about other areas where Microsoft don't play by the (software) rules. Even in Windows Office does not obey the standard print dialog rules Microsoft specified themselves!
    Unfortunately not only is Office for Mac upgraded infrequently, but even when new paid for upgrades are released Microsoft have a history of still not fixing bugs. It goes without saying that a mere free update is even less likely to actually fix a bug, typically such free updates only address security issues. The next version of Office is going to be Office for Mac 2014 see http://www.macworld.com/article/2106643/microsoft-will-release-a-new-version-of- office-for-mac-this-year.html
    One area I confidently predict Microsoft not to resolve in Office for Mac 2014 is that fact that Word for Mac still does not support right-to-left languages like Hebrew and Arabic. This is despite the fact that OS X itself has supported this for years and years, and despite the fact other Mac programs support this including the free TextEdit and Pages - both of which can read Word files. Some people may remember that at one point the Israeli Government temporarily banned all Microsoft software over this issue. See http://apple-beta.slashdot.org/story/03/10/15/2215249/israeli-government-suspend s-microsoft-contracts This issue goes back over TEN years!!
    I note that Microsoft has now taken their OfficeForMac blog offline, probably due to the weight of criticisms. I would not say it is due to out-right anti-Microsoft hate, that war ended long ago. We just want products that work. I myself do use Microsoft products, even at home - where they are the best solution, so I use Microsoft Media Center for example. Sadly this is now being neglected by Microsoft.

  • Edit a png file... change colors and text and then export to gif?

    First I want to state that I am VERY new to Fireworks and I am trying to figure out how this works!  I typically use Photoshop.
    I was sent a PNG file (from a friend).  The file has many buttons on it that I believe are somehow saved or exported out as gif images to be buttons on her website.  All of the buttons are basic rectangles that are gray with black text.  She was told she could edit all of the buttons quickly in Fireworks (change their color, font color, etc) and it would change them all together.  Then save them all out so we would have the individual gif files for the buttons to save to the directory.
    So... I am able to open the png file in Fireworks and I can select each button or all of them, but I cannot see how to change their color and font, etc.  I know this must be very simple!  Can someone help me?
    Thank you!
    Sharlyn

    Have a look in the ocument Library panel to see if the buttons are Symbols. If yes, then double click on one of the buttons to open it in the symbol editor where you can easily make changes in all of them at once.

  • Error 1004 occurred at Open VI Reference in Directory of Top Level VI.vi- Check Path.vi- Read PNG File.vi- ValveUI.xctl:LoadBackgroundImage.vi- ValveUI.xctl:Facade 1.vi:29- ValveUI.xctl:Facade 1.vi.ProxyCaller

    I am trying to dynamically load the background image of an XControl facade using a 'LoadBackgroundImage.vi' that I have written. This SubVI has worked with a normal VIs panel before. It utilizes the 'Read PNG File.vi' from Labview to read in a transparent PNG file to overwrite the Facade background. When the XControl is loaded during design-time it generates an Error 1004 indicating that the 'Read PNG File.vi' is not in memory. I have tried to place a static reference to this vi to force it to load but I still get this error. What is the solution?
    Attachments:
    Error Dialog.PNG ‏9 KB
    LoadBackgroundImage_VI.PNG ‏33 KB

    Darin, thanks for your reply.
    The XControl Facade is rendered on the Main FP when the Main.vi is opened in design mode. Previously I have placed a PNG image onto the Facade pane (i.e. drag-n-drop the image onto the Facade FP during design) and it is displayed on the Main.vi FP in design mode when Main is loaded. However, when I include a call to Read PNG File.vi in the Facade I get the 1004 error. You may not see this error without using a Simple Error Dialog. This failure to find Read PNG File.vi in memory is the main issue.
    I have tried to use SubPanels before - they are useless for my purposes for many reasons (they don't show the underlying SubVI pane in design mode, they require the use of SubVI references to load - preventing the use of direct wiring to the SubVI connector, etc.).
    Do you know how to dynamically load and call 'Read PNG File.vi' so that Labview is forced to load the VI and then Read PNG File can load the PNG image? I can get 'Read PNG File.vi' to dynamically load and show property values but to call it with the 'Call By Reference Node Function' I need a strict type def to be generated, etc. So what are the steps needed to create a dynamic call to 'Read PNG File.vi'? I haven't seen any good working examples that show how to create the strict typedefs that are required etc. There is no right-click > Make Type Def > ...  for Read PNG File.vi or other ways to do this that I have noticed. Showing a finished example doesn't show you how to do it (menu selections, etc.). Or, do I have to hand construct these typedefs by reverse engineering the VI?

  • Problem in using PNG files....

    Hi everybody...
    Whenever i use ImageIo.read(filename) function to read a PNG file....it returns a bufferedImage with Type = 0....
    and i cannot use this type of image to perform convolution operations....
    how can i solve this??....
    Another problem is that whenever i save it using the write method....the size of the new file is way too large than original image.
    ( ex - 250 kb(source image) - 1.5Mb(saved image))
    how can i solve this??
    plzz someone help me...
    itz urgent!!

    I'm making educated guesses here but I suspect you may be loading a palettised (ie <16M color) file and convolution probably requires true color - you can convert by creating a new image and rendering into it.
    As for writing out, you can adjust the write settings by tailoring the relevant ImageWriteParams... there should be plenty of info around if you Google.

  • How do you open and save PNG files as images rather than a document (which my MacBook is doing automatically)?

    Hi,
    Basically I'm doing a course in which i need to import images on a document for evidence (in particular Cirque Du Soleil, yes it's a weird course!) I am using the develop menu tab and using the Inspect Element menu. Here i have found loads of images that are perfect for my evidence, but the images are all showing as PNG files. Whenever I try to save these they will only save as Documents and not images. How can I change this so I can save them as images and import them imto Pages.
    Many Thanks
    Mason

    Hi @Shootist007
    I knew PNG files were image files, that why i was confused when I saved them onto my Mac they were showing as Documents under file type. But i managed to do via Preview (opened it up in Preview then click and dragged to my document).
    Thanks for your help

  • DW won't open PNG file to edit in Fireworks

    I have a complex Fireworks file inserted as part of my html page. I'm trying to edit and update it from Dreamweaver, but it will not open the file in Fireworks.
    It's a png file that has been updated from an older version of Fireworks, but I've done a save-as and re-exported the slices and html, then re-inserted it into the page. It still will not open the file in Fireworks.
    As a test, I created a new png file, exported it, inserted it into the html page, then tried to edit it in Fireworks. And that does allow me to edit, click done, and then the changes show up on the html page. So it's something with my original file, but I can't figure out what it might be.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this working?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Can you open images normally in Photoshop Elements?  I would recommend including this information as well as which verson of iPhoto and Mac OS you are using to the Photoshop Elements forum.  It might also possibly be a problem with iPhoto but the users in the Photoshop Elements forum should better be able to determine where the problem lies.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Its a known bug. The default tryLock() method calls the parametered
    tryLock method as follows
    tryLock(0,Long.MAX_VALUE,false);unfortunately under linux the parameter Long.MAX_VALUE is too big for
    the underlying OS file locking. This causes the IOException to be thrown
    It has been fixed in version 1.4.1 i believe.

  • Why is it that Photoshop Elements takes a very long time to open a png file?

    Even though I wait for a very long time (minutes)  for Photoshop Elements 11 to open a PNG file, the computer's process monitor shows nothing discernible going on while I am waiting.
    This is on a Windows 7 machine with an Intel I7 4 core processor.

    I killed Firefox and Thunderbird and tried it again.  Using a stopwatch, it took 5 minutes 54 seconds to open the file.  In the interim the application windows were frozen.  The process monitor showed Photoshop not responding.  The thread analysis showed a thread waiting on splwow64.exe. 
    splwow64.exe allows 32-bit applications to connect with the 64-bit printer spooler service on x64 Windows builds.
    I should also point out that when I exit Photoshop, it does not seem to die.  I cannot restart it in the normal way.  The starter software just goes away when I click on PE 11.  I finally fo into the task monitor and kull the PhotoshopElements process.  Then I can restart Photoshop Elements.  Although after a long time since I exited PE while I was writing this post, I then just tried opening PE the normal way and it worked.  Many of these items I mention are probably red herrings.

  • Cloud storage - how can I use my .png file shared in "public mode" like a hosted file ?

    Hi every body,
    I am french and new on the forum so please be indulgent ! (for my english and my questions).
    I am working on HTML signature for my company and I have a little problem.
    to be viewed, my .png files needs to be on a server. So I remember that adobe gave me a 100giga storage for me to use.
    Cool !
    But the problem is that the link only send me to a special view of my file... a jpeg one. So when I try to copy the url I can only use the .jpg
    I want my file !
    So my question is : is it possible that the cloud storage isn't supposed to share any thing else than a miniature of my file and a download button ?
    How can I use it for my signature if I can't acess it but only download it?
    Thank you very much for your time
    Morgan

    Hi Morgan,
    You are correct.  Public link sharing works as follows:
    -  you can share a public URL to your PNG file on Creative Cloud.  The recipient of the URL can view a preview of the file and download the file in the original PNG format or JPG format.
    -  it is not possible to give other users direct access to the original file in Creative Cloud.
    For more info on sharing and collaboration options:

  • How to create a swatch library from multiple png files?

    Illustrator CC
    I am having a difficult time trying to create a new swatch libray of patterns from multiple png files. The way I am doing this is very slow and repetitive and seems silly for a tool as advanced as the latest CC suite including illustrator.
    What it seems I must do is open all the png files in Illustrator, creating multiple workspaces, drag one png file into the swatch window, then save that window as a library, close the existing window to reveal the next png file, open the user library I just created, drag the next image into the currently active swatch window, then drag the previous swatch/s from the user library into the current active swatch window, resave and replace the user defined swatch library (now with two images in there)fromthe updated current active swatch panel/window, close the existing workspace to reveal the next image file, and then repeat the process again, slowly building the user defined swatch library up by adding one image at a time and then adding back into the Swatch panel the previously built up library of swatches again one at at time.  (you can select all from the existing  user defined library and drag over into swatch panel, but this creates at least one  duplicate on each cycle for as soon as you click on the first swatch in the library, it adds itto the current swatch panel and then when you select all swatches to drag across it includes the first swatch and copies it again)
    This is a very slow process to build up a swatch library. For some reason you cannot drag swatches directly into  the user defined library you have created, only into the active swatch window for each workspace. I searched the web and forums  for answers but could find none. There must be an easier way,  just can't find it.
    Ideally, the best option would be a swatch window  option that allows the import directly from a list of selected files in the finder.
    Any ideas out there?

    Monika,
    Thank you for responding, however I am not exactly clear on what you mean by "libraries are plain AI files". For example, I cannot find a file with the same name as my user defined library name that I have created. I can find the preinstalled swatches listed under Adobe Application Support... Library... Swatches, but a user defined folder is not present and the library sets that I have already created are not visible. I have tried searcing my Mac for a (name).ase file and still no luck (at least for the name I was looking for). I can open the user defined library from the Swatch library icon on the bottom left of the Swatch panel, but when I open this I cannot drag and drop add new swatches directly to this library. As stated above, I have to add each pattern, one at at time to the normal swatch panel, then add back the previous ones I have saved from the user defined library to the swatch panel and then save threm all as an updated user defined library. Thus by repeating this process, it builds up the user defined library one at a time.
    I am using Illustrator CC if this makes a difference.
