Preview Bug?

While setting up desktop / dock items today, I decided to put Preview in a stack on the dock.
I then later tried opening various documents with Preview but found the application to be unresponsive regardless of the type of doc I attempted to open. Preview would launch but would have no display.
When I removed Preview from Stack (on dock), then the application worked again.
I put it back in Stack and it didn't work (again). Have since removed it from Stack and will leave it removed.
Perhaps this is already a known issue, but thought I'd make note in off chance it helps someone trying to troubleshoot Preview app that seems to not be working.

Joel,
We have reported the 'answered' issue you mentioned below. It is an annoying thing.
We are working on updating the help documentation and hoping to re-introduce a 'Rich Text Editor' in the future.
Thank you for your feedback.
Kind regards,

Black Preview Bug

Can someone tell me whether the black preview bug is a known issue? I have the latest Aperture version 1.5.6 and am using Leopard. As soon as I make an adjustment my preview vanishes to black. If I turn the adjustment off it returns.
For Pro software this is not what I would expect, Leopard release or not. This is causing a serious disruption to my workflow. Does any one have any workarounds for this issue other than exporting everything to Photoshop and adjusting there?

Some hit the problem, some don't. Some have reported it as "fixed" (i.e. no longer occuring) with subsequent Aperture or ProApps framework updates.
It seems to vary with the graphics hardware your machine has, and even sometimes according to what Colorsync profile you might be using.

Preview bug, not responding to key strokes in full screen view immediately

I've had leopard since it was released and have been very pleased with it for the most part. I update the software regularly.
My problem is that since moving to leopard I cannot use the arrow keys (being the primary ones that I use) immediately upon going into full screen mode of preview, this is very irritating as I use many pdf files and find full screen the best view. I can get around this by pressing play in full screen then pausing and reverting to the arrow keys, but using so many pdf files this becomes very tiresome. Is there a patch for this bug?
I have a macbook with 2gb ram, and intel 2.16ghz processors.

If you want to report this to Apple, send a bug report (or enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

Preview bug - merging pdfs inserts wrong file

I have consistently been able to reproduce this bug. I often merge PDFs using Preview, by dragging a file from the Finder to Preview's thumbnail sidebar open to the document to which I am merging.
And what happens is that when I do that, the file that actually gets inserted is a file that I had previously done that operation with.
In other words:
I want to merge file A with file B, so I open file B with Preview, ensuring the thumbnail sidebar is visible. I drag file A from the Finder and drop it on top of file B's thumbnail. Hey Presto, the files are merged, and I save and close, and then delete file A from the Finder.
I then go to merge file C with file D. Repeating the process, when I drop file C from the Finder to the Preview sidebar, file A is what actually gets inserted into file D.
It's like it's cached and doesn't get overwritten by file C during the second process.

I haven't tried to reproduce the issue, but what happens if you quit and relaunch Preview before doing the second merge?

Illustrator Flattener Preview Bug?

Before I submit a bug report, just want to see if anyone else is having this issue because my computer has been acting up in other areas lately.
late 2009 - 27" iMac, Yosemite 10.10.1
Illustrator CC 18.1.1
The "Presets" drop down only says "Custom" in Flattener Preview.
They do appear in the Advanced tab of the Print Dialog.
If I go to Edit>Transparency Flattener Presets, I have the defaults (High, Medium, Low Resolution, For Complex Art.), but are not in the Flattener Preview.
If I go back to Edit>Transparency Flattener Presets create a new Custom preset, then the new costom preset and the defaults will then appear in the Flattener Preview.
But as soon as I close Ily and re-open, they dissappear again. I have to create a new custom preset OR delete one to get Flattener Preview to see the presets.
Just wondering if anyone else can duplicate this behavior, or is it just me.
As a side note, the dashed line for Opacity Masks is also unpredictable. As in, when applying an Opacity Mask, inside the Layers panel it sometimes will show up as a solid underline, like a Clipping Mask, and other times it will appear correctly as a dashed underline.
Thanks.

Same issue with me.
Most actions I create are unusable after restarting Illustrator.
I'm on Windows 7, AI version 17.1.0 (64-bit).
Let me illustrate the problem with a simple sample action.
When I create an action it works, and as you see Alignment item is expandable.
(Left image: before running the action, Right image: after running the action)
Upon restarting Illustrator the Alignment item is empty, the action doesn't work and I get an error dialog.
I have to delete and reload the actions and those are working again.
Here's the action I used. Just select 2 objects and press F11 or run the action.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2462383/Horizontal%20Align%20Center%20-%20F11.aia
I saved the bad action after restarting Illustrator
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2462383/Horizontal%20Align%20Center%20-%20F11%20bad.ai a
Opening these in the browser or in a text editor, parameters are not present in the corrupted aia.

Filr 1.1 Technical Preview // Bug // Netfolders disappear

Hi Team,
during the testing I found out a small bug. Not sure if others are experiencing the same behavior.
NetFolders are mapped and accessed from all interfaces (web, mobile, desktop app).
If I start from the Webinterface, then go to the list of netfolder, then I have a NetFolder XX. The next level opens many more subfolders. To some of them I have share permissions + ntfs access, to some I only have share permissions. So, when I try to open a subfolder without any ntfs access , the contents are empty.
At this point if I click on NetFolders at the top, there are no netfolders. Just the notification you get when absolutely no netfolders are configured on the server. At this point, accessing with the same user web/mobile/desktopp app does not show you any netfolders.
Tested with multiple users and multiple folders without ntfs access
Workaround 1: Restart Filr Appliance and / or 5-10 minute of user inactivity.
Workaround 2: The second time I hit Netfolders and the netfolders disappear, then I can go back in the browser, from the breadcrumbs I can select a upper level folder or the root netfolder, then everything is fine.
Can anyone confirm if this is a bug or if there is anything I can do to further investigate?

If you have access to the Filr 1.1 Technical Preview then I believe you
should also have access to a Vibe-hosted forum for reporting issues. I
suggest that you therefore repost this (and the other issue you reported
here) to that forum.

Hi,
thanks for posting your findings.
I admit that In the first preview of JDeveloper 11 we didn't put lots of effort in testing Swing, so it doesn't come by surprise that it has holes. This however will change for the next preview that we expect for end of September. If you can reproduce your problems in that release, please repost.

2 Big Preview Bugs Still Unfixed in 10.5.3

Hi,
The 2 massive bugs in Preview, that I've pointed out before, are still not fixed in 10.5.3.
If you view a very high resolution image at anything less than 100% of its actual size, Preview does a very poor job of resampling it, giving a blurred look. Text in the image can look smeared, as if its had a vertical motion blur applied to it in Photoshop. Ironically, Quick Look can scale images perfectly. Bug.
If you Adjust the Colour of an image, and then Crop it, the adjustment is applied again. Every time you crop, the colour adjustments are applied on top of themselves. Bug.
For a platform so associated with imaging, I'm VERY surprised that these bugs have been around since October 2007. That's 7 months. Apple will probably never fix them now, making Preview an unnecessarily useless app.

The previous version of Preview, in Tiger, didn't have this blurry resampling problem. This is a new problem introduced by Leopard. There's an example image of the problem here:
http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/7348/appleleopardpreviewblurjs3.jpg
I just think this is pretty unacceptable when you consider that Preview is the DEFAULT app for viewing images on a Mac. Macs are supposed to be the best for graphics. Yet the default app can't resample an image properly without blurring it.

Dolby AC-3 1.0 preview BUG?

Some of our timelines have a single mono audio track, so I encoded them in PPro2 with the SurCode encoder as Dolby AC-3
b 1.0
files. Try importing this into Encore 2.0! Your preview (timeline or disc) will play at half speed, which of course my children find very amusing. Those of us trying to build this disc do not!
It appears that the disc builds and plays correctly, though we're still trying to ascertain if sync and file length are being interpreted correctly.

Preview bug regarding Table of Contents and Annotations

I'm involved in a paperless pilot project and am having a difficult time circumventing an issue in Preview.
I'm re-formatting material for executive meetings from WordPerfect, Word, Excel and PowerPoint into bookmarked PDF format in Adobe Acrobat Pro X. When they are opened in Preview by senior management on MacBook Airs, the Table of Contents links everywhere correctly. However, the moment they add an annotation (in this case, notes), the table of contents is thrown one page off, regardless of their place in the document. Even after removing the note, the table of contents does not revert to the proper place. I'm assuming this occurs because the annotation throws off the markers from the imported bookmarks.
Using Acrobat Reader on the Airs isn't an option since annotations aren't possible. We are also really trying to keep production of the PDFs limited to Acrobat Pro to ensure cross-platform compatibility of the Table of Contents.
Has anyone else encountered these issues? Is there a potential workaround?

A lightweight alternative to Acrobat Pro for creating a TOC is PDFOutliner ($5 on the Mac App Store.) Adding annotations later to the PDF does not affect the TOC generated by PDFOutliner.
Note: I am the developer of PDFOutliner.

10g Preview: BUG: Infinite loop renaming entity attribute

9.0.5.0.0, Build 1375, Win2k SP3.
BACKGROUND:
After attempting to rename an EO on which a VO was based I received an error that indicated the VO was dependent on the attribute to be renamed. I removed the VO attribute from the VO's attribute list and saved the changes. I then brought up the Entity Object wizard where I attempted to rename the attribute.
When jdevw.exe is used to launch the IDE, the renaming action results in the IDE hanging. When jdev.exe is used, the console prints the following stack trace and the IDE gives a StackOverflowError.

Filr 1.1 Technical Preview // Bug // Mobile Client

Hello Team,
I am experiencing an issue with Netfolders over the mobile client.
I have noticed that contents of the netfolders is not showing when ntfs permissions are set via security groups.
When I add explicitly the user part of the security group to the ntfs permissions, then I run a sync , and I see the contents of the netfolder.
Issue is only present in the mobile app (tested with iOS7). Access via the Web Interface seems to be working without issues.
Can you let me know if this is a bug or my configuration is not optimized.

UPDATE: issue is present in the desktop app as well. If permissions are set via Security Groups I cannot navigate to the subfolders.
If everyone is set then I can see the contents. If username is explicitly specified in the NTFS Permissions, subfolders are listed as well.
Only web access seems to be working flawlessly at this point.

Lighroom 3 noise preview bug

The problem
I have noticed that if you change the noise luminance level when viewing an image at 1:2 the preview changes as though you do not have any noise reduction applied and any further change to noise level is not shown in preview.
The Solution
If you zoom out and then back in again to 1:2 the preview is then correct

This is in the develop module

Thumbnails preview bug

Hi, anybody found a solution to this annoying problem yet?
Mike

I was referring to the thumbnails/preview image mismatch issue which is troubling so many people. By the way, I think I have stumbled on a solution (for me at least).
I started Aperture when holding on to the CMD and Option buttons, I clicked on 'Rebuild Now' to rebuild the Aperture library but instead of rectifying the problem it actually got worse. And in my desperation to rid the problem I started Aperture the same way and clicked on 'Consistency Check' instead (which require your admin password). When Aperture open up this time, all the thumbnails were properly displayed! No more mismatched images. I was skeptical initially and thought the problem must surely return after I reopen Aperture. So, after all thumbnails were generated, I restarted Aperture and lo and behold, the problem is truly gone!
I don't know how the problem was rectified. All I know is what I did solved the problem for me. So if you're desperate, you might want to keep your fingers crossed and do what I did.

Windows 10 Technical Preview bug

On 8.1 just installed 10. On first start everything was ok... it was until restarted... . When tried to login again everything on laptop display was black... In the bottom right part was language bar, that contains only help button...
Best wishes,
Ivan Spahiyski

It is highly recommended when installing Windows 10 Technical Preview to ensure that all devices are fully up-to-date with the latest drivers from the system or device manufacturer. Please update the video driver to see if the issue appears with the latest
drivers installed.
