Preset manager - window resizing

Hello
Can you please reinstate window resizing for the preset manager.
I work with 8 bit and 16 bit colour (for television) and work with colour in groups of 16.
When I could resize the window, I could do so so that there were 16 colours across and I could see exactly if I had too many colours or too few.
Now, I cannot do this and it is annoying.
Thank you
Jo Higgins

That is a total furphy.
I have just been through all the presets on the largest list settings and not one of them approaches the width that is set (see pink arrow in image below)
Changing the dialog (as per previous versions of photoshop) would not affect the ability to switch among present types.

[SOLVED] GNOME 3.8 annoying window resize problem

Hello all fellow early-adopters :-)
A very annoying quirk I've noticed, moving from GNOME 3.6 to 3.8, is that it no longer remembers, nor retains, the size/positions I set for many of my application windows. For example, my mail client (Evolution) is sized to fill most of my screen (centrally), with Empathy and Skype as long narrow windows on both sides - giving me a nice, broad "communications" overview on that particular desktop (with dev tools etc open on others).
On 3.6, this layout was retained during my session, as well as next time I started these apps up.
In GNOME 3.8, not only does it insist that these windows are always started as small little bunched-up windows that I need to resize, but every time a window displays a notification/warning (message in internal yellow bar inside the window - such as loss of internet connection, mail retrieval failure etc) it resizes the windows spontaneously to a stupid, small size that overlays the other windows. This is driving me crazy!
Where can I learn a bit more about how window sizing / positioning works in GNOME 3.8, or is it finally time to switch to awesome wm? I want to love GNOME 3.8, I really do. It's so slick, but so... unpolished.
I want to dig in an assist with problems like these, but I need some pointers to some background material first to understand the problem. Is it the window manager? Is it the app?
** UPDATE: Doing a full system upgrade, as of May 18, 2013, has resolved this annoying problem. My windows now stay where they belong, and start with the same size they were closed with. GNOME is now pleasant to use again :-)

I really like GNOME 3.x though (and would like to understand the windowing behaviour), but if the annoying quirks are insurmountable, I will happily switch.
Man I love GNOME 3.x. I admire the courage they had to change, basically, everything, and I find myself more productive with my GNOME 3 Arch box than with my good ol' Slackware KDE 4 box. I just hate those bugs - for example I filed a task in their bugtracker for this window resize problem I have with gedit. If it's a love/hate relationship, I think it's marriage ^_^
With the 3.8 upgrade, deadbeef was having a similar problem with window size/position. I just recompiled it against the latest GTK+3 package upgrade (that came after the 'big upgrade' here on Arch) and it was fixed. But not with gedit

Man I really hope this gets fixed soon, because aside from this one incredibly annoying issue I am loving gnome 3.8.
I get the feeling gnome badly needs more beta testers, sizable regressions like this in "stable" releases happen way too often sad.
I get the exact same feeling. Well bugs exist everywhere, there's no denying. But I think it would be wiser to 'alternate' the nature of each major stable release - one focusing on new features and one focusing on fixing bugs. For example if the only new features in GNOME 3.10 were the AppsFolder full implementation and the introduction of gnome-calendar, and the rest of the development cicle being devoted to fix bugs, I'd be more than happy.
Like Fedora and Ubuntu, the fixed 6-month release cycle colaborates with the bugs. They don't do like Debian or Slackware which are released 'when they are ready'.
EDIT: fout (yet) another bug. At least with facebook chat (haven't tested with other telepathy plugins) the buddy tray icon appear duplicate. Anybody with the same issue?

.PAT Files using Edit/Preset Manager/ Patterns

I have PSE7. I recently downloaded a .Pat File that doesn't come up in the Pattern Stamp but it does by going to Edit/Preset Manager/ Patterns. How do I use this? When trying to use Save as and Load as option I keep getting the same patterns and it's like a never ending circle. What am I doing wrong?

It would duplicate the patterns if the file you load has the already existing patterns in you window.
Just try to load the attached file and see if you get a new pattern.
You can define you own pattern from Edit->Define Patterns (if you dont have a .PAT file)
Then from Edit/Preset Manager/ Patterns you can choose the patterns you want to keep in you pattern set and then save the pattern set to your desired location.

Can't view abr brush files in Preset Manager

My problem in Photoshop CS5 is that I can't see the .abr files using the Preset Manager.
Specifically, the Load dialog for brushes shows the Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets/Brushes folder as empty...
...even though Windows Explorer displays both the default brushes and the many brushes I just purchased.

I was under the impression that brushes will only show under preset manager if they were manually loaded into photoshop by selecting Brush then Load Brushes and then selecting the abr file you wanted. I always save my extra brushes/styles/actions etc under seperate folders away from Photoshop as you can easily direct the Load Brushes etc to where you have them saved and then load from there easily. And as I have many of these extras, keeping them seperate from Photoshop saves load up time when starting Photoshop. Hope this helps

Preset management makes no logical sense...

The Premiere Pro CC 2014 preset management makes no sense based on the aliasing of the original preset.
What is considered the norm with presets in most applications is having a custom bin/folder with a naming convention that follows the paradigm of the presets within.
Presets that are created within these folders should then be able to be copied and/or moved to any other preset bin/folder and the original can be renamed or deleted.
As it stands, you can only create a custom preset in the Presets root and then create a Custom Bin. Then you can drag/copy the preset from the Presets root to the Custom bin. However, you can't delete the original root preset as it will delete the copy in the Custom bin as well. This makes no sense as you end up with duplicates and defeats the purpose of preset management from the get go. Am I missing something or is this convolution intended.

Compiz - slow window resize

i'm using compiz-fusion with latest nVIDIA drivers (7950 GT)
window resizing is just unbearably slow...
i realise that problem has been there for a while (read some articles about it...) yet sure there isn't some solution?
Such as... on some systems the thing works ok more or less so far i understood ...
Currently i set the option for window resizing in gettings manager to Outline instead of Normal, at least it's functional now.

Works fine for me on my 8600gt probably around the same speed of card. Using Nvidia 177.80. I havent changed any rendering options in compiz, but I have seen that some people need to turn off Indirect Rendering or something like that. IIRC it was on the Fusion Icon menu, however I dont use that so I cannot really comment.
Could be the Force Indipendant Painting Output option on the General tab in compiz config?

How can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it

how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it. i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this. have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off? i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.

Which version of photoshop are you using?
After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns.

Scrolling and windows resizing

Is there a way to turn off the feature where if you scroll up or down with your mouse positioned over a windows title bar it resizes the window. This "feature" works with both a standard mouse using a scrollwheel and also when using a touchpad with two finger scrolling.

The only third party program that I use which modifies the mouse is Sizeup and I have rigorously gone through its setting to determine if it was causing this behaviour. Also the behavior persists even when I shut down sizeup so I don't think it is the cause.
edit:
I would also add that this behaviour only appeared after I upgraded to 10.8. While I do have a lot of third party programs running and alot of them were updated when mountain lion was released so it is theoretically possible that this is behaviour is comeing from an external source I have no idea why any of the other programs I have running would affect window resizing.

Crashes on window resize

I am a loyal user of logic for 8 years now. yes I'm posting about an issue where logic crashes (as in: freezes for 30 seconds then closes even if other apps are reWired to it)
It does this SOMETIMES, when resizing any window in logic..
it says: UNEFINED RECURSION ERROR and then you know you'll be rebooting your mac g5 (tested on g4 too)
I sit here thinking of ten years of buying updates.
and by PURE LUCK alone, I buy every update hoping that certain issues will be fixed. Most are not.
On a mac there are two ways a window can be act when being resized:
1 - as you drag the re-sizer corner of the window, you see only a dotted outline of the window, then when you let go, the window resizes.
2 - as you drag, the entire contents of the window moves as you drag.
#2 causes crashes. #1 is fast and quick.
Mr. Moderator, you can delete this post as expected. But you do know as well as I do, these guys never do a user request.
I mean my $200 alone is enough to pay one developer to fix things like this.
Nevermind $200 from 2 million people!
What are you doing with your user requests and your users money?

Might try removing your media files associated with the project... put them in another folder, or disconnect the fw drive that holds them...?
Do other project files do the same or just this one?

How do I re-enable showing the download files history in the download manager window?

System: Windows XP
I am trying to re-enable showing/retaining the list of downloaded files in the download manager window. I want to be able to drag and drop directly from that window into a folder of my choosing. (I used to be able to do this, but apparently I messed that up...)
I have tried the suggestions that could easily be found, including setting Firefox to remember all history in the Privacy tab of Options.
I also deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file to "reset" the browser defaults, but to no avail.
Any ideas/help?
Thanks.

By the way, a few other things you probably know:
(1) The setting to keep the downloads list displayed after a download is here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General
Check "Show the Downloads window..." and ''uncheck'' "Close it..."
(2) You can always show the list by pressing Ctrl+j
The mimeTypes.rdf file isn't particularly relevant to this problem; it affects what application Firefox uses to open a particular type of file.
However, there is a database file which stores your download history which might be corrupted. You could rename that file and have Firefox start building a new one.
(1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
(2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
(3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''downloads.sqlite''' to something else, like downloads.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
(4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
Any improvement?

How do I remove unwanted entries in the Profile Manager window?

Can anyone please explain how do you remove irrelevant entries in the Profile Manager dialog? Since I have both 4.0 and 3.6 installed,each with two profiles,I use to launch secondary profiles with the Profile Manager via a command line instead of a specific shortcut,and the dialog window always shows all four options,regardless of what path I enter : is it possible to clean up the dialog window,so that only the 4.0 profiles are displayed when entering the path to 4.0 profiles,and so on for 3.6,without actually risking to delete any profiles? BTW,4.0 profile folders are stored in a different directory than 3.6,and the 3.6 profiles were accessed with the Profile Manager window (no shortcuts to specific profiles at the time) before installing 4.0

The Profile Manager is for all versions of Firefox you have installed - every Profile that is listed in the '''profiles.ini''' file will appear there. The location of the Profile folders has no effect on what the Profile Manager dialog window shows. There is no way to set it up relative to one program installation.
Best thing to do is to have separate desktop shortcuts for each Profile / Firefox-version you want to use.

How to manage windows cluster on windows server 2008 R2

Hi I want to know how to properly shutdown or stop windows cluster with out failover or failing it.
I have successfully created windows cluster on win 2008 R2 sp1 using vmware with starwind software for SAN storage.
Now when I shut down or stop cluster service on node1 it failsover and shows critical errors fine.ok... I tried to destroy and clean up cluster using cmd commands.Forcecleanup both nodes with cmd commands.it was successful.
Later I recreated san storage with target and initiator configuration using starwind without any issue.
I Reinstalled FC service on both the nodes restarted vmnodes.I cheked all the firewall were disable.and machines able to ping well..
Now when I tried to recreate new cluster it fails and gives different errors.AS Node1 was evicted from cluster,Another was Quoram was lost as no witness disk was found.
Also It did not show my cluster under FCM on Node2.I tried to add node Node2 but error saying Node2 is already in a cluster.
So I want to know how to manage windows cluster properly and manage it entries in active directory so that even after shutting/stopping the service/destroying cluster I do not need to do all over again.
I had to recreate all VMware from start and do AD setup and SAN storage again then only windows cluster got successfully created once again....................
I had to recreate all vmware nodes with FC sevice reinstalled and also recreate AD DS and DNS.

How to display newly added bookmarks on top of the list in Unsorted Bookmarks? (not in Bookmark Manager window)

I have hundreds of bookmarks.The Bookmarks Toolbar is filled.I made a shortcut of the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and placed it in on the Bookmarks Toolbar.Whenever I click the star to add a bookmark, it adds one to the real Unsorted Bookmarks, which add a copy of that bookmarks into the folder named Unsorted Bookmarks which is on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
When I click on the Unsorted Bookmarks(both original and shortcut folder), it displays the oldest bookmarks on top, which honestly makes no sense to me because the user has to scroll a lot to get to the newest bookmarks, which are more likely to be used than the old ones that have been sitting there for a long time.Is there any way to sort the bookmarks by a reversed chronological order and display newly added ones on top of the list ?
I am aware that you can do this in Bookmarks Manager window(called Library?) but it requires too many steps and it's time consuming and not easy to use in general.I'd rather click on the folder on Bookmarks Toolbar to open my bookmarks, but they show old ones on top.
Thanks !

Hmm, you might need to create a "smart folder" for this. You may have noticed some blue folders in your bookmarks such as "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked". These show the results of a query run against your bookmarks or history (Places database) and you can create your own queries with a little elbow grease.
So one possibility might be to create a custom "Recently Bookmarked" folder that extends beyond the current limit of 10. I gave the steps for creating a 20-item version of this folder in this post: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/934205#answer-358492
That example searched ''all'' bookmarks and not specifically Unsorted Bookmarks. To create a new "smart folder" for Unsorted Bookmarks, you could try this:
(1) Select and copy the following places search query:
place:queryType=1&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&sort=12&excludeQueries=1
''(For definitions of those parameters and many more, see: [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Places_query_URIs])''
(2) Expand the Bookmarks Menu (e.g., from the toolbar button or menu bar, or in the sidebar or Library dialog), right-click the first bookmark, and choose New Bookmark
(3) In the Location field, paste the query (Ctrl+v or right-click > Paste)
(4) In the Name, enter something like Unsorted Desc (for descending order) or the name of your choice. Then click Add.
(5) Drag the new bookmark to the desired location on the Bookmarks Toolbar. If you are using the menu, click and drag and hover over Bookmarks Toolbar until it expands. Once it is on the toolbar, you can easily move it again to the desired location. During the first move, Firefox will recognize it as a query-type bookmark so that is why I have you create it on the menu and move it to the toolbar.

Illustrator Application Window Resizes When Opening Smart Object from PSD

Hi All, I've taken a vector graphic created in AI CS4 and pasted it into my PSD CS4 doc as a smart object. When the original AI file was created the application window was set as I preferred it, filling my screen. When I double click the Smart Object in PSD to edit it back in Illy, the window that contains the application has been switched off of the fill screen mode and is quite a bit smaller. I know it's small but now I have to click the maximize icon in the application bar to get Illy to fill the screen again. It wouldn't be so bad once, but the application window resizes itself every time I punch back into the smart object from PSD.
Any ideas on how I can get the AI environment from switching around on its own??
Win 7, CS4, all patches current, Dual 22" montiors
thnx,
jeff

I just want to point out that when you open the smart object of course it is not the same file as the original but an embedded copy of it.
That might also have something to do with this issue and might also be a photoshop issue with the smart object and one reason might be that Photoshop is see the image as resolution and Illustrator sees it as a dimension and the teams might be able to do something about this but might not actually be aware of it unless you file a report even if it is not a bug it would then be a feature request.
They might not be able to do anything about it but then there might be a clever engineer with an idea, so it might be worth the report.

ITunes gets unresponsive when I click on Podcast tab in the device management window.

Hello,
I run the iTunes 11.1 on MacOX 10.8.5.
iTunes gets unresponsive each time I click on Podcast tab in the device management window. (when my iPhone5 is connected, running iOS7)
There was no bug before I upgrade iTunes and iOS.
Is this a know bug?
What Can I do?
Will this be fixed in a next update?
There is another bug, which may be related to the first one:
before, in the podcast tab of my iphone management window, I chose to sync a smart playlist. Before the upgrade, the sync worked fine.
But now, the sync seems OK on iTunes (the playlist is well displaied in my iPhone section), but I need to shutdown/restart my iPhone to get it updated on it. Othewise, I still see its content as it was before the sync.
Please notice that this playlist contains only podcasts.
Thanks a lot for any help.

Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.<br />
