PofExtractor issues -- changes will be required

Pof uses a compact form in the serialized value when possible. For example, all numeric values between -1 and 22 are represented as special pof intrinsic types in which the type implies the value. As a result a Double with value 22 and a short with value 22 are both serialized the same way. There are other optimizations as well such as zero being removed from the value.
As a result, Pof requires the receiver of a value to have implicit knowledge of the type. Typically, this type knowledge is implied by the method name of PofReader. You write an int using PofWriter.writeInt() and read with PofReader.readInt().
PofExtractor does not have that implicit type knowledge, so the code essentially makes an educated guess. Unfortunately, in some cases such as zero and some numeric values, PofExtractor cannot know the correct type. For example, a Double zero will be extracted as a null Double. These issues could lead to wrong results and subtle bugs.
These issues will be fixed soon. The current plan is to deliberately remove the existing constructors for PofExtractor and replace them with new constructors that add a parameter to express type information. We do not break compatibility willingly. Our reasoning is that if we don't force people to change their PofExtracor code, they could have insidious bugs without knowing it. It is critical that Coherence does not ever return incorrect results.
We're sorry for creating these issues and for the problems incurred by forcing you to change your code but wanted to give everybody advance warning and notice about issues you may already be having unknowingly with PofExtractor.

Hi David,
You should probably make this forum thread sticky.

I apologize if this has been answered before, but I can't
seem to find a solution in the forum archive. The error message
below displays in Dreamweaver CS3 when I attempt to edit a
Fireworks CS3 file using the "Edit" button in Dreamweaver. After
clicking "Done" in Firworks to update the file and return to my
HTML page in Dreamweaver, the error message displays. Can someone
help me troubleshoot the problem? As a side note, I tested it in my
older version of Dreamweaver and Fireworks (studio 8 versions) to
see if I would get the same error message and I didn't - everything
worked fine and no error message displayed.

> Murray, what do you mean? My pages validated before the
switch to DW8.
Are you sure? Show us one.
The error you describe is only thrown in one of two cases -
1. You have actually changed what is being mentioned (sadly
this is most
often NOT the case)
2. You have a coding error somewhere on the page (or in the
CSS) that is
causing the template engine to burp this error message even
though it
doesn't really apply
DW4 was nearly totally unaware of 'validation' errors. DW8 is
MUCH stricter
about them. When anyone says "this was fine in DW4 and is now
not fine in
DW8" this is the first and most likely solution.

DW won't let me change a library item "change will be discarded"

I built a site and I have library items for my logo and
navigation and some thumbnails. I want to use a different file/lbi
file for my header. When I delete the current library item and try
to put a new one in, I get this message: "making this change would
require changing code that is locked by a template or translator.
The change will be discarded." I honestly don't know what to do; I
really need to specify a different file for my header but it won't
let me, and I have over 100 pages and I made all thumbnails,
rollovers, and all links manually and the file that it's using
isn't working right. I just want to put the correct one in there; I
don't know how I can possibly build my site completely from scratch
- what can I do?
This is a related issue, but I'm not sure how: I have two
library items named the same thing in two different folders; some
files refer to one, some to the other, but I want them all to refer
to the correct one; I can't make change since I get that error
message. I'm confused about which file is which, I'd deleted one
before, then restored it...thank you so much for any help. I'm
trying to build my portfolio site for an art exhibition...

Happily. One of the pages of the site I'm having problems
with is
http://www.hopeedwards.com/TEST_new_website/Hope_website/assorted_art.htm
I also attached code for it. [note: the home/index page only
works in Firefox but the other tabs work in IE and Safari. Also,
everything is shoved down wrong in IE and it only looks right in
Firefox] I am running Adobe CS3 on an Intel based Mac Pro with
Tiger OSX 10.4. I'm having trouble with a couple library items. The
very top library item is logo_and_navigation.lbi - all was okay
with it except I somehow had a couple different copies of it in my
Library folder, so I moved one of them to a folder within the site
called "Trashes". Then I deleted that one because I didn't want two
copies and the logo and nav disappeared on some pages that used
that one. I reinstated it in the trashes folder. The pages that use
that located in the Trashes folder are the index, Assorted Art, and
Commercial Work. The ones that use the one in the Library folder
are Clue Series and About & Contact.
I would like them all to use just one file so I only have to
edit one file if I make changes. I've tried several things: I've
tried selecting and deleting the item in the documents and
inserting the proper copy. It won't let me. I get the message
"making this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or translator. The change will be discarded." I've tried
doing a Find and Replace and replacing the word Trashes with
Library to specify the correct folder info but that doesn't work,
probably because it can't change code in the library item.
I had a similar problem with the thumbnails library items
when I tried to build my other pages doing a File Save As from the
first one I built in Assorted Art. When I tried to create a
Commercial Work page from it, I deleted the thumbnails library item
because it was the Assorted Art thumbnails. When I tried to insert
the Commercial Work thumbnails library item I got that error
message. It was so frustrating; I had to go in and build the
Commercial Work page from scratch. I had to do that with each
different tab. It just doesn't seem right that you can't swap out
library items.
Anyway, I'd completely appreciate any help or feedback! I
really would!
Hope

How to determine if daylight savings time change will occur automatically

Can any one assist me in determining if a daylight savings time change will occur automatically, or if it will require manual intervention

Your operating system controls your "clock" and any running application only "uses" what it is told.
Not a QuickTime issue. It's up to the user to set the clock.

Installation issues with PrE 9 require OS restore!!!

I have run into two issues when attempting to install the trail versoin of PrE 9. One of the issues is severe enough that it required a system restore.
1) PrE cannot complete installation because MSXML 6 fails to install.
2) PrE rolls back the installation and this causes a corruption of all installed installations.
...1) the issue seems to be for those of us who already have MSXML 6 service pack 2 installed. PrE should not be attempting to downgrade MSXML from service pack 2 -- which it apparently is trying to do. MSXML is system protected in XP SP3 and actually can't even be un-installed. MSXML was installed as part of Microsoft's Visual Studio application. I'm not sure when the service pack was installed but you can see more by looking into Microsoft KB954459.
...2) When the rollback begins, I start getting dialogs asking me to 'configure' an application. The dialogs disappear and reappear multiple times. This behavior continues when the rollback is completed. You cannot shut down the computer with these dialogs on the screen as the system prevents a shutdown. I tried to cancel after watching the screen for 30 minutes. Finally, I started to kill applications. I was able to reboot.
When the system came back up, the configuration dialog appeard every time I would run a new application. For most of the applications, the configuration would complete and the dialog would not appear again when the program is re-launched. However, several applications were corrupted (probably because I was killing the tasks to configure them to get my system to reboot).
I made a backup of my complete system prior to installing PrE. I was able to restore to a state prior to installing PrE without issue (thank you Acronis!)
I realize there are millions of different system configurations. You may want to take some extra precautions if you do have KB954459 installed on your system!
I'm looking forward to a resolution of this issue and will provide any additional information as required.
In the end, I would like to install a 'real' version on my video editing workstation which is running Vista and may not have this issue. However, I would really like to take it for a test drive on my other system first as it is far easier to 'protoect' a 80 GB hard drive than a system with multiple (and larger) drives.

Ouch. You should file a bug report with Adobe asap. Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Changes will cause Data to be deleted message

Hi,
Here is the issue I am experiencing:
1. I have a UDO of Master Data type and created a custom form to Add/Update/Delete data.
2. When I scroll through each record, I get a message "Changes will cause Data to be deleted". Continue?
I have confirmed that the form is in OK mode. How can I make this message go away?
Gopal

Hi Gopal,
Even if the form is in OK mode, the edits cause the form to go into Update mode, which is why you see this message.
If it suits your scenario, set "AffectsFormMode" property to false for items which should not trigger a mode change (if loading the form from XML, set AffectsFormMode="0")
You can also look at these form properties:
Form.AutoManaged
Form.SupportedModes

Bridge - "The file cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur"

I am trying to use keywords to organize all my projects. But on every file I try to apply a keyword too I get the message "The file cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur". I'm on windows 7 64bit with Creative Cloud and all the latest updates.

Not sure what kind of files you are trying to add keywords, but I am having the same problem with .MTS and m2ts files. I am running Bridge 4.0.0.529 and Win 8.1. I found a work around, which was to change the extension to .mpg in File Manager, then you can add keywords. However, not sure of the implications of doing this when I import them into Premiere. I noticed in File Manager that under file properties that the "Type of File" changes to reflect the file extension. Running some tests to try and find out. I suppose one could change the extensions back to the original. But if you have a lot of clips, that is a big hassle. Unfortunately, Bridge "Batch Rename" doesn't allow one to change the extension. Any help would be appreciated. However, I am not very optimistic in that it appears the "Cloud" version of Bridge has the same issues.

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

Get rid of message: "If you close the window, your changes will be lost..."

Whenever I enter text, then close the window, I get the message, "if you close the window, your changes will be lost. Do you want to close the window anyway?"
Yes, I do want to close the window, and I want to get rid of this message from popping up. Can't find it anywhere in Safari. Please help me out. Please, how do you configure Safari so this message will not pop up?

HI David,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still see that dialog...
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
