Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

Hi guys, hope you can help...
I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
(this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
Thanks for your help.
DAve.

maybe I'm onto something...
I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
Any more realistic ideas?

A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

Hi.
There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
Any help with this problem?
Thanks.

How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

Problems with Preview and Digital Camera

Hi All,
I bought a Konica Minolta DImageX1 camera and the first few pics I took and downloaded them onto my ibook ans view them on Preview everything was alright. However, everytime I now transfer pictures to my laptop and when I view them with Preview it displays the following message:
"Preview cannot display the image properly. The file may be corrupt. Reason: Can't cache file". After this the image is loaded anyway.
But when I transfer the pictures to my Windows PC and I view them there, I get no warning message. And I downloaded an Image Viewer freeware from Versiontracker.com and it gave no warning message as well.
Any suggestions as to what could cause this problem with Preview?
Thank you in advance,
Eder
ibook g4 1.2 GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Eder,
I have exactly the same problem with you.
But what I am using is DiMAGE Z6.
What I am concern is that if this affect the image quality.
Anyone who know how to solve this, please advice.
Thanks and good day!

Problem with Java and Zip Files

Hello there everyone. I have a problem with trying to zip up directories with empty folders in them. They zip fine with my code, but according to winzip, the number of files in the archive is incorrect. It's supposed to have a total of 288 files in it, but when it's zipped up, it only says 284. I mention specifically the "empty directories" note because the zipping works fine without empty folders.
Below is the code for the zip method:
public static void zip(File[] list, File zipfile, File zipRoot)
     throws IOException {
      if (!zipfile.exists()) {
               zipfile.createNewFile();
          else if (!zipfile.isFile()) {
               throw new IOException("The zip file, " + zipfile.getAbsolutePath()
                         + " is not a file.");
          if (list.length == 0) {
              LOG.error("The list of files to zip up is empty.");
          for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
               if (!list.exists()) {
                    throw new IOException("The file or directory, " + list[i].getAbsolutePath()
                              + " does not exist.");
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipfile);
          ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
          for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
               if (LOG.isDebugEnabled())
                    LOG.debug(i + ": " + list[i].getName());
               String entryName = getRelativeName(list[i], zipRoot);
               if (list[i].isDirectory()){
                    if (list[i].listFiles().length == 0){
                         ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(entryName + "/");
                         zos.putNextEntry(entry);
               else {
                    ZipEntry ze = new ZipEntry(entryName);
                    zos.putNextEntry(ze);
                    byte[] buffer = new byte[8096];
                    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(list[i]);
                    int read = 0;
                    read = fis.read(buffer);
                    if (LOG.isDebugEnabled())
                    LOG.debug("\tFound " + read + " bytes.");
                    if (read == -1){
                         //empty file, but add it for preservation.
                         //zos.write(buffer,0,0);
                    while (read != -1) {
                         zos.write(buffer, 0, read);
                         read = fis.read(buffer);
                    fis.close();
                    zos.closeEntry();
          zos.close();
The files look like they're there, but I need the system to be able to determine the number correctly.
Here's the interesting thing: It zips the files, and then when I use the size() method for zip files in java, it says 284 files. But when I unzip, it says 288 again. It's like there's files missing when compressed, but when decompressed, they return. Note that the files are actually there. If I open the archive in a third party app such as Winzip AND Winrar AND IZarc, they all show 288 files. Any idea what would make the number of files appear incorrectly in a zip file when zipped by java with the code above? Thanks in advance.
- Chris

I figured out the problem. When zipping files in windows using winzip, it doesn't explicitly count folders as a "file/folder" as a file in itself. It will create the folders for files to go in, but the folder itself will not be 'counted' when you query the info of the file itself. You have more control of the zip file in java, and can count the folder as a file or not.

Problems with jdbc and .jar files.

I am having a problem with connecting to my database when running my .jar file as an executable.
It connects correctly when I use the java command in command prompt and it also runs correctly when using my IDE.
Is there something that needs to be added to the manifest or in the code it self inorder for the program to find the JDBC driver correctly?

This is the error message that I get:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver

Error Trace in getConnection() : net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver

I think that it is because it cannot find the driver. I am going to add the path to the manifest and see if that works thank you for all the help.

[solved] Problem with Amarok and flac-files

When I installed Arch for the first time a couple of months ago, I was happy to find that some flac-files that didn't play in Amarok on my Debian installation was now played back perfectly. However, upon trying to play these files today, Amarok refuses to play them. I get an error stating that there is no suitable demux plugin for the files. Other flacs play back fine though, and the problem files play back perfectly in mplayer.
Another thing I would be very happy to resolve is that I have a few files that use japanese in their tags. IIRC these displayed correctly in Amarok on my Debian install, but in Arch all I see is squares where there should be japanese, despite me installing both arphic-ukai and arphic-uming packages. What am I missing?
All help appreciated!

Your tip worked like a charm and the files now play perfectly in Amarok once again.
I solved my second problem by installing the ttf-sazanami package from AUR and adding both sazanami gothic and sazanami mincho as substitute fonts for Sans Serif (my default font) in qtconfig (not sure that I really needed both though, but hey, it works now ).

Windows 8 Elements 11 Problem with DNG and CR2 files

Have a Windows 8 machine with Elements 11 which has Camera Raw 7.4 installed and showing correctly in the editor. The Browser shows thumbnails of the DNG and CR2 files, but when an attempt is made to edit them, the editor opens but does not open the file. Same thing happens if I try to open the file using the File Open from the menu.
Also I have been through the help and forums and found an article about opening jpeg files as Camera Raw files (http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/open-jpeg-files-in-adobe-camera-raw-in-photoshop-element s/) and this does not work either.
Help please !

Disclaimer: The following applies to WINDOWS EXPLORER. I don't use Bridge so I don't know if it's applicable at all to Bridge.
Adobe does not provide a codec for viewing Canon raw files as thumbnails. Canon has one for free but it only works on a 32 bit Windows system.
Early this year I found a free download for displaying raw file thumbnails that works on an x64 Windows system. Since that time the author realized there's a real demand for this software and has started charging for it. In any case, I find it works very well.

Problems with JMF and audio files.

Sofware:
Java Version 1.5.0_03
JMF Version 2.1.1e
Windows XP SP2
I have a application that consists of 2 parts. The first is an editor for creating exercises, like multiple-choice, matching and so on. The second part is a “client”, used to solve the exercises. The client uses Java Webstart.
When I include audio clips in the exercises they play just fine using the client, but in the editor program I just get a clicking sound, and then the application stops responding.
The strange part is that the editor and client use the exact same code to playback audio clips.
The old version of the editor (developed for Java 1.3.x) works just fine under Java 1.3.x, but when the same byte-code is launched under Java 1.5 I get the same problem (clicking sound and then the application stops responding).
Any suggestions?

When installing JMF, two new packages are stored in the jre\lib\ext folder : jmf.jar and sound.jar.
Sound.jar contains the same api that are in the packages sound.midi and sound sampled contained in jre.
Maybe these new api are an improved version but i noticed some trouble playing sound and i delete sound.jar file, now it works fine.
Try this, maybe you had the same problem.

Problems with UAC and NTFS File Permissions on a File Server.

This is a feature, not a bug. You do not have permissions.

Hello Everyone,I'm curious about your experience with UAC and NTFS permissions--in particular on a file server. In my case, I'm running Server 2012 R2.I have a very large company shared folder. I right click on it and go to properties to check the size. The size is only 5GB or so and should be over 300GB. How is this possible?

They are not system folders. The folders have the same owner. The folders are located on the same folder level. When I try to view the permissions of the UAC-related folder, I get this:I'm a domain admin, so when I go through the prompts, I can see the permissions.But this is a total pain because I now require third...

Indexing Problem with FILE_DATASTORE and .pdf files

Hello all,
Do any of you have an example showing how to index .pdf files through FILE_DATASTORE? I am able to successfully index text and .doc files but not a .pdf file. Below is the script that I use to index my files:
create index myindex on mytable(docs)
indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters ('datastore COMMON_DIR filter ctxsys.null_filter');
I am using Oracle 8.1.6
Thanks you!!!
-garrett

I don't think that you are able to index anything else then plain ascii texts, because you are not using the INSO filter.
Use preferences like this:
exec ctx_ddl.drop_preference('NO_PATH');
exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('NO_PATH','FILE_DATASTORE');
exec ctx_ddl.drop_preference('MY_LEXER');
exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('MY_LEXER','BASIC_LEXER');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('MY_LEXER','MIXED_CASE', 'NO');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('MY_LEXER','INDEX_THEMES','NO');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('MY_LEXER','INDEX_TEXT', 'YES');
exec ctx_ddl.drop_Preference ('MY_FILTER');
exec ctx_ddl.create_Preference ('MY_FILTER','INSO_FILTER');
exec ctx_ddl.drop_section_group ('MY_SECTION');
exec ctx_ddl.create_section_group ('MY_SECTION','NULL_SECTION_GROUP');
drop index i_filenames;
create index i_filenames on filenames (filename)
indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters ('datastore NO_PATH
section group MY_SECTION
lexer MY_LEXER
filter MY_FILTER
memory 10M
IMPORTANT is the INSO_FILTER preference.

Problem with Report and distribution file

Hi.
I have a report that create the paycheck for my customer's employe.
My first group on the report is the email adresse of the employe, so i can cut the report end send it by mail to the said employe.
95% of the time it's working perfectly. But when i encouter a blank adresse or simply no result (no line return by the query)
then the report execute, and crash giving me this error.
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
REP-0177: Erreur au cours de l'exécution sur serveur éloigné
Paramètre de référence 'REFADRCOU' non valide dans la liste de diffusion
Sorry i did not find the equivalent in english. It say that the email field (REFADRCOU) that i am using for the TO is invalid and make the whole report crash.
I'm not sure how i could deal with this.
I had a idea of executing the query before report, in the afterpform, and if i have no result, add a blank line with select XXX from dual for exemple so it would have at least 1 row and won't crash. but it's not very elegant.
Any idea or suggestion on how i could handle this problem.

Hi.
Thanks for answering.
I solved the problem.
First I stored the file into a string variable.
And on that variable I do
some processes. (Analyze the read
bytes and add more text to the original file)
Before I did that processes on
.Text property on the object.

I've had a problem with previewing rendered video files

Hey guys, I'm Justin,
thanks in advance.
so when I render video files in fce, the video usually renders fine, but on the canvas the video just replays the first and last frame of the rendered video, making it look like a jumbled mess. but, when I export it as a quicktime file it runs just fine, I think the problem is in my canvas and I don't know how to fix it.
Also I recently upgraded my system from 2gb of ram to 4gb of ram, can fce recognise this or do I need to do something fancy
Thank you so much,
Justin

Hello, Justin, and welcome to the forum.
Where is the video coming from and how are you getting it into FCE? Almost always, your best bet is to convert your media into a format with which FCE works natively before you bring it into the program. If you do that, rendering and lots of other issues are minimized.

Problems with Lion and .pkg files.

After the upgrade to Lion, i've a problem to install .pkg files. If i try to open it with double click, terminal window starts and cursor waits for commands! With Leopard the installer program started after double click on .pkg files, but with Lion "installer" seems to be disappeared.

Problems with ClassLoader and Jar-Files

1. I'm not good in englisch (writing).
2. I have the problem, that i want to load a object from an application in Jar-File A out of the Jar-File B. I set the CLASSPATH for B with System.setProperty("java.class.path", <ClassPath>); . Then i tried to get the Class-object from a class of B. I do it with getClass().getForName("package.Name");.
But everytime i get a ClassNotFoundException. Where is the Error? Or how can i load a class out of a Jar-File and get an instance? I hope you can help me..
Tobain

The error is that classes are loaded from the classpath as it existed when the program started. Changing the system property that was copied from the classpath has no effect, as you have seen. I have heard that you can write your own ClassLoader if you want to load classes from arbitrary locations, but I do not know how to do that myself.
