Properties Panel Question

Hi, I really dislike the
"Properties Panel" on the bottom of the DW UI. Is there a
way to have it run vertical on the left of the UI or make it
collapsible like all of the other panels?
Thanks

Fw CS5 Properties Panel question

Can I control the way the PROPERTIES PANEL titles my internal pages in the pull down LINK menu? The problem is, by default, all my internal pages are named with their extensions capitalized, ex: ".HTML" (please see the attached .png) I can not link to these pages when in "View Page/All Pages in Browser" mode until I manually change the link's extension to ".htm" It took me several days, of mind-numbing searching and going over past tutorials/videos, to come to the realization that this was the cause of my inability to preview properly in a browser. I was never able to find info that discussed this problem.
I'm a newbie, so possibly I skipped a very important tip early in my learning process.
Please help - thanks

Thanks folks... I figured it out. The answer was in the OPTIONS side menu of the EXPORT menu.

Properties panel vanished and other new installation questions

I have installed CC 2014 in a new computer including DW CC. When I open a file, the properties panel, normally at the bottom of the page is missing and I have been unsuccessful at restoring it, which leads to question one: How can I resetor the properties panel? Secondly, for most of the other programs I have found a way to move/copy/ preferences, etc. to the new computer. I have not found that for DW 2014. Can someone steer me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance to those who know more than me,
Joe

Murray, the AHA moment! Ctrl-F3 does the trick. I looked for properties in the Window menu previously but it did not show. Ctrl-F3 puts it back.
Thanks a million!

Motion tweens from keyframe vs properties panel

When motion tweening a grouped object in either Flash 8 or
Flash CS3, I get different results depending on whether I use the
keyframe or the properties panel to set the tween.
If I right-click the first keyframe and select "Create Motion
Tween," I get two graphic symbols named Tween 1 and Tween 2 in the
library .
If I select Motion from the Tween drop-down list in the
Properties panel, I do not get those two graphic symbols in the
library.
Question #1: Which is the better way to create motion tweens
-- using the keyframe or using the properties panel?
Question #2: What other differences are there between
creating a motion tween (or shape tween in CS3) between using the
keyframe or using the properties panel?

1) either is fine, however you should not try to tween
multiple object at the same time, put them in a moveclip and tween
the clip, or on separate layer and tween them individually. This is
why the symbol shows up in the Library, because it's not quite the
right way to do it, and Flash needs to make some things to try a
keep it straight. The best way to tween is to use the Tween class
and script the tween.
2) no difference, they both fire the same method. Like using
key shortcuts vs. the menu.

Properties panel doesn't show dimensions

Usually when I create a rectangle I can see the dimensions and coordinates in the properties panel. However on my machine at work the dimensions and coordinates are not showing in the properties panel. I think someone has turned off a configuration but I don't know how to turn it on again. Please can someone help me with this because I need to measure a design. Thank you

Good call. This question seems to come up regularly. You're viewing the "collapsed" version of the Properties Inspector. If you double-click the tab, or single-click the arrow in the upper-left corner, you'll see the full, "expanded" version, which includes the dimensions and coordinates that you're missing.

Properties panel

Silly question, but how do I keep the properties panel from disappearing each time I use it? I just want it to stay available.

Keep in mind that the Properties Inspector is context sensitive, and changes depending on your focus within the document window. Iif you are using CS4, you have the opportunity to see either the HTML or the CSS Properties Inspector via the buttons on the left side of the Properties Inspector.
It should 'be there' persistently, but it will look different in different contexts. You may only see a grey bar labelled "Properties"; click on the bar and it opens the panel. If you are not seeing it at all, either closed or open, go to Window > Properties to bring it back.
Investigate the workspace layout; become familiar with the interface. You'll be glad you did.

Xcesius properties panel not visible

Hi Experts,
I have a very basic question. I have been working on Xcelsius for quite some time and I have suddenly noticed that the properties panel in my xcelsius has disappeared. I have not made any upgrades.
In the 'View' menu, I have the option 'Properties' checked. Is there anything else that I need to take care of.
Thanks,
Sreeni

Check the size of the Properties window , I think u might reduse the size of the Properties window.

Main Properties panel's width

I've notice that in Fireworks 8, the main properties panel's
width extends
under the side panels, where in fireworks mx 2004,
dreamweaver 8 + under,
and flash 8 + under, all have the main properties panel just
in the middle
column under the canvas (assuming you are using the default 3
column
interface layout). This creates a problem because its now
wasted space and I
can't have as many side panel open at one time because of
this.
So the question is, is there a file I can change or modify,
maybe even take
a file from fireworks mx 2004, to make the width of the main
properties
panel stay in the middle column like its suppose to?

Hi Charles,
Here is how to reset the user defined settings (window sizes, which windows are open) in the registry.
You should make a backup of your windows registry before making any changes...
1). Close Xcelsius down.
2). Run regedit.
3). Navigate to and delete this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Xcelsius\Settings
4). Then start Xcelsius and you should be good to go again.
I'm not sure what causes this but for me it sometimes happens when I am running Xcelsius and I change windows screen resolution, then have been into and out of preview mode, not all the time though...
If you can help me figure out some simple steps to reproduce it we can log the bug and hopefully get it fixed in the future...
Regards,
Matt

Disable Properties Panel Popping up When Making Shape?

As title says, can you Disable Properties Panel Popping up When Making Shape?
Sorry if this is a silly question, I can't seem to find the anwser anywhere. Whenever I make any shape it keeps bringing the panel up.

As I don't like the way it covers the image, I docked it on top of the layers panel, and made my own workspace. I've read there is a new contextual menu to the panel on Photoshop 14.1

Workspace - Properties Panel

.... but this is a very "newbie" question!!
I just downloaded the Dreamweaver CS5 (Trial) and am getting a "feel" for how it works. I've been using Frontage 2003 for years (don't laugh).
I want to display a text-edit type toolbar on my workspace. I see there is a "Properties Panel" but it does not have all the commands I am use to, like; center-text, left-text ..... that sort of stuff.
Is there a way to modify the Properties Panel to add commands, or is there a "Text Toolbar" that I can add to my workspace?
Thanks for help!!

Back in the day there used to be such option(s) but it really produced bad HTML code (not compliant with the latest HTML standards) so Adobe removed these "features" for the sake of better web development. Instead you should use CSS to style your document. If you're not very familiar with HTML and CSS, now is a great time. Dreamweaver really rewards those who are familiar with the underlying medium and can really punish those who don't.

Is the Advanced Answer Option missing in CP7? (I'm looking in Properties panel.)

Hello there,
I'm new to CP7 but I've seen some online tutorials and they clearly show an Advanced Answer Option for multiple choice question (so I can provide feedback to wrong answer).
Unfortunately I don't see it anywhere in the Properties Panel as I'm supposed to. I just see Character, Format, Shadow & Reflection, Transform.
Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction. (BTW, I have multiple attempts selected in Quiz Properties).

I assume I'm on a normal slide (I am VERY new to CP but I have checked this 2 ways. First, the timeline is not on the Master tab. Second, I have gone to menu at the top for Insert > Question Slide and while there, I noted that Insert > Quiz Master Slide was greyed out and not an option).
I'm afraid I didn't find the 'utils' folder. I looked in all six locations where Captivate has folders (mostly put there automatically) but I may have missed it. I will list those locations below FYI.
However, there has been a solution of sorts. I went into the second folder on the list below and cleared the cache as you suggested. I then ran CP7 as Administrator (advice I'd seen for a different problem on another thread). I created a new blank slide and inserted MPQ. The Advanced Answer Option was there. I then went back the original slide that was giving me problems (still running program as Admin) but once again, no Advanced Answer Option. Strange, no? Luckily, I'm still just at the playing-around stage so it's no problem to kill that first slide and start afresh.
If there's anything else you think I need to know or if you want me to try something else to satisfy curiousity, let me know. Otherwise, I appreciate your advice till here.

I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Please help!
I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen. The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.

Character Styles in CSS Properties Panel are not correct

I am using Adobe Illustator CC.
I am trying to export all of the charter styles as CSS. However the CSS panel is not generating the correct style.
Right now, in the Character Styles Panel and CSS Properties Panel I have 3 styles (Default, h1, h2)
This is how they are defined in the Character Styles Panel:
1. [Normal Character Style]:Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman, 16px
2. h1: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 25 Ultra Light, 35px
3. h2: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 45 Light, 18px
HOWEVER
When I go to the CSS Properties panel the code is not showing the Font Style:
This is how they are defined in the CSS Properties Panel:
1. [Normal Character Style]:
.NormalCharacterStyle
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 16px;
color : #19131F;
color : rgb(25, 19, 31);
2. h1:
.h1
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 35px;
letter-spacing : 0.53px;
color : #FFFFFF;
color : rgb(255, 255, 255);
Missing: 25 Ultra Light
3. h2:
.h2
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 18px;
text-transform : uppercase;
color : #FCFCFC;
color : rgb(252, 252, 252);
Missing: 45 Light
Am I not doing somethign correctly? Is it a problem with my font or with Illustrator?
Also, in case it makes a difference, I only have the default paragraph style defined. It's style is; Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman
Thanks!

CSS cannot render typographical multiple weight fonts simply because that's just not how it works. All CSS does is reference a physical font file and its properties and while it's possible to use the font-weight and font-style attributes to make standard fonts lighter or bolder it does not compare to anything you would do with the font in a real design environment. That and of course you still need to define fallback/ substitution options - the Helvetica Neue you are referencing is exclusively available on Apple systems only and even if what you are trying worked off the bat, it would be useless on alternate devices that have no access to the font.

Can I turn off the Properties Panel in Photoshop CC?

Every
Single
Time
I draw a line or a shape or do almost anything it seems in PSCC, the Properties Panel jumps out. Quite rudely, it blocks the upper right of whatever I am working on. Yes, I can simply close it, but it interrupts my workflow, and it pops out constantly. This definitely did not happen in CS6 or any previous version of PS or even in the first version of PS in Creative Cloud.
I haven't yet come across anywhere that will let me deactivate that automatic pop-out...I was hoping someone else had found it already. I would greatly appreciate some assistance!
Thanks!!

You 'instruct' me; I 'should' ... Imperatives, and yet it's me who has the 'attitude'.
Your point regarding dates on the implementation is noted - apologies to those attempting to find a viable work-around with what they had available to them - but subsequent advice to deal with this by buying an extra monitor makes multiple presumptions.
Thanks once again for your opinion on what I should do, but I came to the Adobe forum for an answer regarding an Adobe issue, by definition precisely the right place. Not to be given commands as to how I should work or spend my money by a complete stranger. There's very little helpful about the latter two points, irrespective of how you choose to define them.
To restate my thanks:
Thank you to Jorge and qerhqrhbwdbs for advice on how to actually deal with the problem.
I've got more pressing things on the agenda than bickering about this, Noel, I presume you have too.

CS4- properties panel not displayed correctly

I just installed Dreamweaver v10. The properties panel information is being clipped. Does anyone else have this problem?

Good evening,
make sure your dpi is set to default 96 dpi, I had this problem because working with a small screen and old eyes, I adjusted my font size, had to set back to default 96dpi, hope this helps
