Properties Lost When Editing In Excel

I have a document library in SP 2010. To this library I added some columns - number, drop down, text, etc
When I click on an excel sheet which i upload to this library, i can edit it in Excel. But when I save / checkout, it removes all these property values.
The interesting thing is that if I go to Prepare, Properties I can see all the values in the Document Properties - Server screen. They are just not being sent to the server with the file itself.
What can be wrong?
Thanks

I open an existing file by clicking on it in sharepoint, then simply click on the Excel Save button.
The "create a version each time you edit a file" option is set to No versioning
All users have the same problem. Excel 2007 is being used.
Something that might be related (or not): If instead of opening the file by clicking on it from the sharepoint library, i open it directly from excel (by pointing the File open dialog to the sharepoint url), and I then go to Server > Checkout, modify
the document, then go to Server > Checkin, i get an error saying that the file could not be checked in since the original was moved or deleted! I checked the Document Content Type and the Title column is set to Optional...

Formatting lost when exported to excel

When I export a worksheet results to excel the formatting is being lost like in my worksheet I wanted a line and space for every grouped item which is lost in excel sheet. Is there a way get around for this ?
Thanks

Not exactly sure what formatting you're having a problem with, but I'll list some of the points I can think of, of exporting to Excel and will hopefully cover it. I believe you may be referring to point 1 below, but just in case ...
1. If you have group sort on for a column or more, then when exported to Excel, you won't have those 'blank' values for the column(s) that's grouped. That's why when you know someone will be exporting to Excel, it's a pain as all group sorts are usually taken back off (which can screw up exactly what you're trying to point out in the workbook).
2. If you have a page -> item (ie: lots of values you pull down like a LOV), then I believe, that you won't get an Excel worksheet for each value in the LOV but only for the one currently displayed when you performed the File -> Export.
3. When you export to Excel, you only get actual values, no functions of how it was calculated (ie: it'll be static, not dynamic).
4. You can export to Excel using Plus and might not get the formatting characteristics you want in Excel. I've seen users specifically bring up Viewer just to get the formatting characteristics (colors, fonts, etc.) when they export from that Disco version.
5. Sometimes when you export from Disco to Excel, that actual value that gets posted in Excel is different. I know ... it sounds wierd, but it's a fact. The problem is NOT Disco, but is a problem with Windows and a setting has to be altered (although I'd have to hunt what that setting is now though). However, I've only seen this happen a few times, so definitely not the norm.

Radial filters lost when editing/exporting to Photoshop

In LR 5.7, (latest Win7 64 Pro) in Develop, when I right-click an image and say Edit in Photoshop with LR Adjustments. The bug seems to be that it fails to apply radial filters. So the photo imported into Photoshop seems to have all filters applied correctly except radial filters. The work-around is that I have to manually export each photo, then load in Photoshop, save then manually import back into LR. Anyone else have this issue?

If using PS CS5 or earlier you'll have to use the 'Render Using Lightroom' option. If using PS CS6 you need to update to ACR 8.8, which is fully compatible with LR5.7.

It also explains why my pics coming back from PS still use 8-bit color even though I specified 16-bit in the LR prefs. Thanks!
When using Edit In with 'Open Anyway' (your previous setting) the file is processed using PS's ACR and not LR's ACR. Your PS ACR preferences must set to 8 bit color. You can change it to 16 bit by opening an image with PS ACR and clicking on the Workflow Options at the bottom of the panel:

Properties lost when widget is updated

I have created a simple widget using the Widget Factory. I've entered some Properties in Captivate and it works fine. However, after updating the widget in Flash and then clicking Update widget in Captivate, my Properties are gone (although the change was purely cosmetic and all objects stayed the same).
Can a widget be written in a way that it would preserve its Properties between updates?
One way that comes to mind is that it could use User Variables to store its Properties and then intelligently read them as default values after update (similar to http://www.infosemantics.com.au/widgetking/2010/11/widget-properties-how-theyre-used/). But it would burden the course designer to create a variable for each widget instance times the number of its properties and naming them somehow specifically. (unless widget can create User Variables itself, but can it?)

This is the default behaviour that Adobe has designed for updating widget versions. It wipes out properties settings in the Widget Properties dialog. And at this time Captivate does not allow widgets to create user variables in the main project.
However, there's actually an easy way to get around this. Just add the same (old version) widget to another slide in your project and hide that slide. Make sure you insert the widget from the same folder location as other widgets in the project of the same name. When you want to update to a newer version of the widget, copy the new version widget to the original folder location so that it overwrites the old version of the widget, then go to the hidden slide in your project and right-click Update the widget.
This will update all widgets of the same name that were inserted from the same original folder (Captivate remembers the source location) but only the widget on your hidden slide would lose it's properties settings. All of the others in the project will retain them.

EXIF data lost when edited and exported to Picasa web

I use iPhoto 6. If a geotagged photo is scaled and exported to Picasa web, then the EXIF data are preserved and recognized by Picasa web. But if the same photo is edited (crop, contrast...) and then exported to Picasa web, then the EXIF data don't appear. I've tried the export operation manually and through the plugin, but it always happens the same. How to avoid this? Does it happen too with iPhoto 8? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes and no. With iPhoto 8 you can export with an option to include the keywords, titles and comments. But I don't know if geotags are included. Ask in the iPhoto 8 forum as I know geotags have been discussed there. Do a search in that forum for "geotags" or similar.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

C# COM server events "lost" when raising events while Excel is in edit mode

I posted this question on StackOverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23798443/c-sharp-com-server-events-lost-when-raising-events-while-excel-is-in-edit-mode) but did not receive a good answer, so I'm trying my luck here.
I have an in-proc COM server written in C# (using .NET Framework 3.5) that raises COM events based on this example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd8bf0x3(v=vs.90).aspx
Excel VBA is the most common client of my COM server. I’ve found that when I raise COM events while Excel is in edit mode (e.g. a cell is being edited) the event is “lost”. Meaning, the VBA event handler is never called (even after the Excel
edit mode is finished) and the call to the C# event delegate passes through and fails silently with no exceptions being thrown. Do you know how I can detect this situation on my COM server? Or better still, make the event delegate call block until
Excel is out of edit mode?
I have tried:
Inspecting the properties of the event delegate – could not find any property to indicate that the event failed to be raised on the client.
Calling the event delegate directly from a worker thread and from the main thread – event not raised on the client, no exceptions thrown on the server.
Pushing the event delegate onto a worker thread’s Dispatcher and invoking it synchronously – event not raised on the client, no exceptions thrown on the server.
Pushing the event delegate onto the main thread’s Dispatcher and invoking it synchronously and asynchronously – event not raised on the client, no exceptions thrown on the server.
Checking the status code of the Dispatcher.BeginInvoke call (using DispatcherOperation.Status) – the status is always ends with “Completed”, and is never in “Aborted” state.
Creating an out-of-proc C# COM server exe and tested raising the events from there – same result, event handler never called, no exceptions.
Since I get no indication that the event was not raised on the client, I cannot handle this situation in my code.
I have tested this with Excel 2010 and Excel 2013.
Here is a simple test case. The C# COM server:
namespace ComServerTest
public delegate void EventOneDelegate();
// Interface

I register it using regasm:
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm /codebase ComServerTest.dll /tlb:ComServerTest.tlb
Excel VBA client code:
Public WithEvents managerObj As ComServerTest.ManagerClass

Sub TestEventsFromWorkerThread()
Set managerObj = New ComServerTest.ManagerClass
Dim dtStart As Date
dtStart = DateTime.Now
g_nCounter = 0
Debug.Print "Start"
' Starts the worker thread which will raise the EventOne event every few seconds
managerObj.StartThreadWork ""
Do While True

Loop
Debug.Print "Done"
End Sub
Sub TestEventFromMainThread()
Set managerObj = New ComServerTest.ManagerClass
Debug.Print "Start"
' This call will raise the EventOne event
managerObj.MethodAAA ""
Debug.Print "Done"
End Sub
' EventOne handler
Private Sub managerObj_EventOne()
Debug.Print "EventOne " & g_nCounter
g_nCounter = g_nCounter + 1
End Sub
This problem also occurs for a C++ MFC Automation server that raises COM events. If I raise the COM event from the main thread when Excel is in edit mode, the event handler is never called. No errors or exceptions are thrown on the server,
similar to my C# COM server. However, if I use the Global Interface Table to marshal the event sink interface from the main thread
back to the main thread, then invoking the event - it will block while Excel is in edit mode. (I also used COleMessageFilter to disable the busy dialog and not responding dialogs, otherwise I'd receive the exception:
RPC_E_CANTCALLOUT_INEXTERNALCALL It is illegal to call out while inside message filter.)
Knowing that, I tried to do the same on my C# COM server. I could instantiate the Global Interface Table (using the definition from pinvoke.net) and the message filter (using the IOleMessageFilter definition from MSDN). However, the event still
gets "lost" and does not block while Excel is in edit mode.
Here's my additional C# code to try to make use of the Global Interface Table:
namespace ComServerTest
// Global Interface Table definition from pinvoke.net
ComImport,
InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown),
Guid("00000146-0000-0000-C000-000000000046")
interface IGlobalInterfaceTable
uint RegisterInterfaceInGlobal(
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.IUnknown)] object pUnk,
[In] ref Guid riid);
void RevokeInterfaceFromGlobal(uint dwCookie);
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.IUnknown)]
object GetInterfaceFromGlobal(uint dwCookie, [In] ref Guid riid);
ComImport,
Guid("00000323-0000-0000-C000-000000000046") // CLSID_StdGlobalInterfaceTable
class StdGlobalInterfaceTable /* : IGlobalInterfaceTable */
public class ManagerClass : IManagerClass
//...skipped code already mentioned in earlier sample above...
//...also skipped the message filter code for brevity...
private Guid IID_IDispatch = new Guid("00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046");
private IGlobalInterfaceTable m_GIT = null;
public ManagerClass()
//...skipped code already mentioned in earlier sample above...
m_GIT = (IGlobalInterfaceTable)new StdGlobalInterfaceTable();
public void FireEventOne()
// Using the GIT to marshal the (event?) interface from the main thread back to the main thread (like the MFC Automation server).
// Should we be marshalling the ManagerEvents interface pointer instead? How do we get at it?
uint uCookie = m_GIT.RegisterInterfaceInGlobal(this, ref IID_IDispatch);
ManagerClass mgr = (ManagerClass)m_GIT.GetInterfaceFromGlobal(uCookie, ref IID_IDispatch);
mgr.EventOne(); // when Excel is in edit mode, event handler is never called and does not block, event is "lost"
m_GIT.RevokeInterfaceFromGlobal(uCookie);
I’d like my C# COM server to behave in a similar way to the MFC Automation server. Is this possible? I think I should be registering the ManagerEvents interface pointer in the GIT but I don't know how to get at it? I tried using Marshal.GetComInterfaceForObject(this,
typeof(ManagerEvents)) but that just throws an exception: System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.
Thanks.

Hi Jason-F,
I’ve found that when I raise COM events while Excel is in edit mode (e.g. a cell is being edited) the event is “lost”. Meaning,
the VBA event handler is never called (even after the Excel edit mode is finished) and the call to the C# event delegate passes through and fails silently with no exceptions being thrown.
Do you mean you didn't raise EventOne event? EventOne handler like following?
' EventOne handler
Private Sub managerObj_EventOne()
Debug.Print "EventOne " & g_nCounter
g_nCounter = g_nCounter + 1
End Sub
After test your code, here is my screenshot
And here is my execute log in C# ComServerTest.

SharePont 2013 Document Library lookup Column Properties not Showing Correctly when editing in Word

Hi
I keep seeing this issue albeit intermittently. I have set up a doc library for my users which has a custom content type (lookup, metadata columns, etc) . They all appear perfectly most of the time except the lookup column. Sometimes is just
decides to display the title field of the current library and not the lookup list title . It is weird as it has been working perfectly for ages given the library is populated with valid documents.
There are some fixes listed here. Has anyone got any experience of this?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the lookup column not display well while editing in word.
Did you customize the Document Information Panel?
I recommend you edit your custom document information panel or create a new document information panel, then re-publish it to check whether it works.
https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Create-or-edit-a-custom-Document-Information-Panel-for-a-content-type-b701a9af-3ea6-4c1a-9e1c-75363bd987c9?ui=en-US&rs=en-GB&ad=GB
Or you can also use the methods in the post you have pasted to check whether it works.
As the limitation of the environment, we could not reproduce the issue in our environment.
I would suggest you open a case to Microsoft Customer Service via Phone.

Lost collapsing columns when export to excel

I have created a report with row grouping, works correctly working in Report Server Browser,
after export the report to excel, when clicking on the + in Excel only 1 or 2 of about 100 lines appears, or there is no + head to click for other groups
a similar report works when exported to excel.
any solution what to do or whats possibly wrong?
thank you

Hi Karl,
According to your description that you are experiencing the issue when you export the report to excel, drill down report not display all the fields after expand the "+"and some group which should have "+" not shown, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can’t reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by the incorrect setting of the visibility and also can be related to the excel rendering.
Microsoft Excel has limitations with how it manages hidden and displayed report items when they are exported. Groups, rows, and columns that contain report items that can be toggled are rendered as Excel outlines. Excel creates outlines that expand and collapse
rows and columns across the entire row or column which can cause the collapse of report items that are not intended to be collapsed. In addition, Excel's outlining symbols can become cluttered with overlapping outlines. To address these issues, the following
outlining rules are applied when using the Excel rendering extension:
The report item in the top-left corner that can be toggled can continue to be toggled in Excel. Report items that can be toggled and share vertical or horizontal space with the report item that can be toggled in the top-left corner cannot be toggled in
Excel.
To determine whether a data region will be collapsible by rows or columns, the position of the report item that controls the toggling and the position of the report item that is toggled are determined. If the item controlling the toggling appears before
the item to be toggled, the item is collapsible by rows. Otherwise, the item is collapsible by columns. If the item controlling the toggling appears beside and above the area to be toggled equally, the item is rendered with row collapsible by rows.
To determine where the subtotals are placed in the rendered report, the rendering extension examines the first instance of a dynamic member. If a peer static member appears immediately above it, the dynamic member is assumed to be the subtotals. Outlines
are set to indicate that this is summary data. If there are no static siblings of a dynamic member, the first instance of the instance is the subtotal.
Due to an Excel limitation, outlines can be nested up to 7 levels only.
Article about the show and hide in the excel for your reference:

OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF. then 2. need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that

OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF; then 2. I need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that??
I had been saving as a PDF and then reducing the size of the PDF by printing it as a PDF with a degree of image compression. I write manuals with a LOT of screen captures and line art that needs to be clear. So it is a balancing act between image clarity and PDF size. The PDFs on the web need to be smaller - sure you can undertsand.
Anyway, when I print the PDF again, I lose both my destinations and bookmarks.
Anyone know of any way to avoid that?

Control the images by creating a custom PDF Job Options and then selecting it in the PDF Job Options drop-down of the PDF setup dialog box (File > Save as PDF...)
Create the custom PDF Job Options file with Distiller. If you do not have Distiller, open the Printing Preferences of the Adobe PDF printer. Start with the Smallest File Size Job Options settings and Edit.

Crystal Report 2008 doesn't set page size when export to excel file

Hi,
I am using Crystal Report 2008 Developer edition.
At Crystal report design time setting the below page setup:
Page Options -
to A3(297X420 mm)
Orientation --- Landscape
and using the following code in .net (c#)
I am using below format options to export in excel in .net 2005
ReportDocument oReport = new ReportDocument();
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA3;
if (aParamlist.ReportFormat == ReportFormatEnum.MicrosoftExcel)
ExcelFormatOptions excel = new ExcelFormatOptions();
excel.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = false;
// Use detail section one as a guideline to determine column width
excel.ExcelAreaGroupNumber = 1;
//excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
// Prepare exporting options
ExportOptions export = oReport.ExportOptions;
export.FormatOptions = excel;
export.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
oReport.Export();
when export to excel it doesn't set the Paper Size to A3(297X420 mm).
Is there any way to set the paper size while export to excel or in other formats also????
Thanks & Regds,

Hi,
thanks for your email.
This is not happening in development environment.It is setting the paper size anf paper orientation properly.
this is happening in the production environment where only redist installation is done.

How to get clips to appear in good quality when editing?

I worked with PE over a decade ago when I had a PC. In 2008 I migrated to Apple -- specifcally desktop Intel duo-processor Mac, OS X Snow Lion 10.6.8. So regretably I was forced to leave PE behind and begin using Final Cut Express 4.0.1.   Recently I bought a new HD camera so I thought it was a good time to return to PE 11 since the program is now being made for Macs too. (I had missed the Organizer tremendously!) Before working with my new camera however, I could not resist importing some old standard definition clips into a timeline to play around with. Well they look horrible in the viewer -- all pixelated and poor quality! I selected the clips, pressed render and nothing happened. I am used to automatic rendering when editing in FCE so that what you see in the viewer is what you get, of course unless you run into compression issues later on. But I need to see what I'm editing and can't do that with this poor quality. So what is the problem?   The clips are all in .mp4 or .mov format. The .mp4 clips were shot with a Panasonic SDR-H85P in that format and the .mov clip was converted from DV footage on a tape recorded with a Canon ZR900.
Also, I am used to seeing and working on a minutia level -- sometimes frame by frame with a "blade" tool in FCE. I switched to expert view but still can't tell where 1 frame ends and another begins. Is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks!

Thank you for your helpful answer.   Regarding frame view, I found the options you indicated. However, I think my issue has more to do with "timeline view" if you will.   For example, in Final Cut, you could press "option +" several times to "lengthen" the timeline which in turn would "stretch" out each frame to an extent necessary to make really precise edits on a minutia scale. Then in order to "compress" it so you could see the entire timeline on the computer screen, pressing "option -" several times would bring it back down to that size which was handy for seeing exactly where all your other effects on other timelines were arranged. Does that make sense? Is there a way to do that in PE 11?    It's zooming in and out of the timeline essentially in order to see more of the detail while editing.
Regarding the poor quality of playback, I was able to correct the problem by setting the playback settings to "highest." That was a relief.   Also the clip properties did match the project properties, but if I had wanted to change project properties, I don't think I could have because so many of the options remained blanked out or unavailable -- all light in color not allowing me to access them. Don't know what the term for that is but you probably know what I mean. So does that mean that project properties are always automatically determined or must they be preset somehow? Any direction on that issue would be helpfui because I also work with infrared clips a lot from a Bushnell camcorder and often combine those with regular video clips. What is going to happen then?   Again, thanks so much for your help!

Tabs disappear and open a new window when editing files in Wordpress

When editing files in Wordpress built-in code editor, if I highlight and try to copy/paste to another file or even within the same file the tab I am on will often abruptly close and then reopen itself in a whole new window. This is extremely disruptive. I have to close the window that popped open and go back to my browser instance with the open tabs and create a new tab for that page then restore my tabs in their previous order. The have to do it all over again a few minutes later.
Never had any type of trouble like this with previous versions of Firefox, and nothing else has changed on this PC.

Hi Nicolas,
I don't know about a pop-up, but if you are trying to open a page (page 2) in a new window (internet explorer window), then do the following:
Instead of using a navigate pushbutton, use a hyperlink component.
In the URL selection option insert the URL (web address) of page 2. You can find the URL by going to SE80, in the repository browser select "BSP Application" and "THE TECHNICAL NAME OF YOUR BPS". Open your BSP and go to the folder "pages with flow logic" and find your "page 2". Double click on your page and then select the "properties" tab and navigate to the bottom where you will see the pages URL.
Insert this URL address into your hyperlink component back in the Web Interface Builder.
Leave the Target selection as parent. Make sure your internet explorer enhanced options are set to "not reuse the same window" under the browser options.
Good luck.

HD video not clear when editing

Hello all.
I have completed a few projects shooting with my HD camera, and all have been imported nice and clear. Now, I am editing and the video is not clear. It is smaller and not filling the entire screen. I must have switched a setting somewhere, but I have no idea what I had it set at.
When editing, the video has a widescreen look to it, and the lines are jagged and blurred. HELP!

Item properties say 29.97 fps, 1440 by 1080 frame size, 3.2 MB/sec, and I am in Final Cut Pro version 7.
I tried RE capturing the SAME clip into an old project, where it came in clear. Then I recaptured into this problem project and it was pixelated. I captured the same way both times. Do I have to recapture the entire thing? I know I am probably not giving as clear responses as you need to help me, but I am new to dealing with HD editing.
It is just this project that is not converting the video to the right size. Usually it will prompt asking if I'd like to match the settings, but this time it didn't and I'm not sure how to do so manually.

Language Monitors and Bi-directional Printing: What functionality is lost when disabling? What else uses them?

Server OS: Windows 2008 R2 Standard
Function: Primary Domain Controller and Print Server
Clients: All are running Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit SP1
We're considering disabling the HP Universal Print Driver Language Monitor and in-turn Bi-directional Printing due to potential server spooler instabilities, before we do this the IT Manager wants to be sure:
1. What functionality is lost when disabling Language Monitors and Bi-directional Printing?
2. What else uses Language Monitors and Bi-directional Printing them? In other words what may break?
3. What specifically do Language Monitors and Bi-directional Printing provide?
Thanks

Alan (or anyone else):
We're testing disabling the language monitor/bidirectional printing for one particular printer.
Can I confirm this is the procedure for disabling a particular print queue's Language Monitor and Bidirectional Printing? -
1. Locate the relevant Language Monitor registry key in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
Either delete or rename the registry key (so it cannot be found), in my case: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\HPMLM121
I renamed it to have the date at the end (HPMLM121_2015-01-29).
2. Inside the above registry key is a DLL file mentioned under the DRIVER reference. In my case it's called: hpmlm121.dll.
I searched the entire C drive on the server and this was only found in C:\Windows\System32. I moved this elsewhere out of C:\Windows and also renamed the DLL too.
Therefore preventing Windows from being able to find/use it.
3. I then unticked Bidirectional Printing Support in the Printer Properties Ports tab of the printer in question.
4. Lastly either restart the server (or stop/restart the Spooler service).
I've done all this and the HP Print Notifications for Replace Cartridge etc... are still active.
Any idea why this is?
Thanks
