Property inspector not appearing

When i design a shape(a rectangle for example) the property inspector appears in the borrom of fireworks window.
If i import though a picture the property inspector does not appear.
Why that?
How i can fix this issue and the property inspector be appearing in the case also where an image is imported?
Or this cannot be done by definition in Fireworks.
Thanks.

There's always a way. It just may not be very "automatic" and depends on the bitmap you're trying to replicate.
In FW, you can trying using the bitmap selection tools to select various bitmap elements, then choose Select > Convert Marquee to Path.
Or you can use the vector tools to manually trace over the bitmap.
In AI, there is an Live Trace feature but depending on the complexity of your bitmap, you may not get exactly what you want, so manually editing/tweaking will be needed. Indeed you may end up with a far more complicated vector than you expect. You'll definitely need to experiment with this feature and the Live Paint counterpart to get what you want.
I believe Flash also has a trace feature.

  • Property inspector not working correctly

    The property inspector in CS3 is not working correctly. When
    I select text or any other object the property inspector does not
    change for that object. But when I right mouse click on the
    selected object it does. Do I need to change a setting?
    Thanks!

    Yes, me too. I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
    If I right-click or double-click on an item the property
    inspector shows it, but if I single click, nothing happens. It's
    bad for productivity.

  • Property inspector not working in fireworks

    Hi folks,
    I am using Fireworks CS 5.1 on a MAC Pro. I haven't used Fireworks in ages but I can't for the life of me figure out where the Property Inspector has gone. I'm creating a very simple button. I put a simple line of text on my page, a box and a line. I have selected each one and then clicked the Windows menu and clicked Properties. The Properties box appears but it has nothing in it. Doesn't seem to matter what I click on there are no properties showing up.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Sylvia

    A lot of glitches in Fireworks can be solved by deleting the preferences file. First you will have to make sure your Library folder is viewable and you are accessing the root folder on your hard drive. In recent releases of Mac OS, it is hidden by default.
    First, show your Hard Drive by following these directions:
    In the Finder, choose Preferences from the Finder menu.
    Click the General icon on the toolbar.
    Select "Hard disks" in the "Show these items on the desktop:" section.
    Close the Finder Preferences window.
    Next, you'll have to unhide the library folder by following these instructions:
    In the Finder, choose View > Show View Options (or press Command-J).
    Near the bottom of the resulting View-Options palette is a setting called Show Library Folder. Enable this option. Your Library folder is immediately visible.
    In that folder, find the Preferences folder. Then in the preferences folder, find the file with this name (or similar): "com.adobe.Fireworks.12.0.0.plist" and delete it.
    Restart your machine and Fireworks and your problem may be solved.

  • Property inspector not loading

    Hi
    Newbie question.   I am reviewing a mapping and want to see the join criteria between two objects.  I'm told it's displayed in the Property Inspector, but for some reason the Property Inspector wont load when I go to View > Property Inspector.  Nothing happens!   All the other toolbars etc load fine. 
    Would this be a security issue?
    Cheers

    Hi,
    Your OWB design client layout would have been changed. Delete the OWB preferences from your client PC and restart the design center.
    Path to the OWB preferences is as shown below:
    c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\OWB
    You can delete the system* folder in this directory and restart the design center.

  • Property inspector not displaying properties

    Trivial problem: DAK why DW8 (8.0.2) Property inspector
    sometimes displays just "Div ID, Class and an Edit CSS button" when
    within a DIV? When in Code view in a correctly functioning
    page, most of the code will have detailed HTML properties displayed
    as usual. But in one section - which has multiple nested DIVs with
    some other HTML inside, Property inspector displays only the DIV
    details instead of the other HTML details - as if it were still
    inspecting the DIV tag itself instead of being within the DIV?
    The page validates with no errors and the DIVs are closed
    with </div> in the right places.

    Yes, me too. I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
    If I right-click or double-click on an item the property
    inspector shows it, but if I single click, nothing happens. It's
    bad for productivity.

  • Property inspector not showing classes

    Though the page is linked to a style sheet, and also has css in the head, when I try and find styles to apply to new text none appear either in the html or css subpanels. Classes only appear if I put the cursor in previously styled text.
    Page is at:
    http://dp.eca.ac.uk/dp_site/mfa/MFA%20site/leftnavvennel.htm
    It is part of a frameset; the complete page being at http://dp.eca.ac.uk then 'mfa' in the top menu and 'project space' in the buttons on the left.
    I am baffled.

    For legacy page read page in a frameset. It's reading the css fine if I open the page alone, but not within the frameset. Is this what's supposed to happen?

  • Inspectables do not appear in Flex Builder 3

    Hi,
    I'm about to implement a component, which implements a
    generic DB-view component [a bit like phpMyAdmin]. Therefore, I'd
    like to expose certain properties in Flex Builder. One is the
    communication endpoint '_endPointURL', which is defined like this:
    >>>
    [Inspectable( category='Common', type=String, name='Endpoint
    URL', verbose=1)]
    public var _endPointURL:String = "defaultProvider.jsp";
    <<<
    While FlexBuilder auto-completes the '_endPointURL:String'
    property nicely, the property does not appear in the 'Flex
    Properties' inspector, if I create instances of the component.
    Might this feature be broken? Or did I missed something else?
    Kind regards,
    s

    Slightly OT:
    You might want to take a look at the open source FlexMyAdmin.

    Not sure about the inspectables.

  • In Logic Pro, trying to import a drum track from the bin to arrange area, the 'follow loop' box does not appear in the inspector

    imported a drum track from bin to arrange area.  It will not follow tempo of the project even though it was recorded in this project.  The 'follow tempo' box in the inspector does not appear even though it is present on other tracks in the file.
    how do I set up the track so the 'follow tempo' box appears in the inspector?

    Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
    'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

  • Inspector does not appear

    The inspector does not appear if I click on the button on my Pages document. I also does not show up when I use View>Show Inspector. Nothing happens when I use View>New Inspector. The View>Hide Inspector option does become a choice after I try and view the Inspector.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Peter, Sorry, I am new at using this type of forum. Actually, someone else who knows iWeb just came by and thinks it is a conflict somewhere and not that the inspector is hidden somewhere. I did try the toggle but it did not show me anything important.
    Tomorrow the same person is coming by to trash my old iWeb and clean house before reinstalling it. At this point I am not even sure this is the software I want to use long term. Do you think it is okay for simple pages that need to be maintained regularly or do you recommend another program? Thanks Adele

  • User Profile custom property not appearing in search crawled property

    Actually I have migrated search services from one server to another server in that server I have created new custom user profile property but it is not appearing in search service crawled property any one please help me out in this.

    I got the same problem and i fixed it.
    If you take a look on all User Profile properties(cutsom or standard) you will note that they are all mapped to the property "ContentsHidden"(in addition of its property).

  • Not able to change values in the Property Inspector

    Hello!
    Can some one please help me with this. I was working in
    Director when I noticed that all of a sudden I wasn't able to
    change the values in the property inspector, specifially the sprite
    properties such as the x and y coordinates and the width and
    height. I'll type in a value and then I will get an error sound and
    it will revert to the previous value. How can I fix this??
    Thanks!

    Hi Ringerz,
    I've seen the PI lock up sometimes. What usually works is to
    switch to List Viw
    Mode. Never have trouble there. Then, close Director and
    reopen. Think it's jus a
    bug that hasn't been fixed yet.

  • Help! Can't paste into code view or property inspector

    I'm experiencing a weird and extremely annoying bug in Dreamweaver CS6 -- I can't paste text from outside apps into DW's code view or into the property inspector (such as URLs).
    Pasting doesn't work no matter the method: Ctrl + V, right-clicking or using the Edit menu. Pasting works normally in every other program. If I copy within Dreawmweaver, pasting works fine.
    Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm running Win 8 and DW 12.1 through Creative Cloud. Searching the forums, I see others have reported the same issue. Some have been able to fix it by deleting the configuration file; that didn't fix the issue for me. I'd like to try reinstalling DW, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't seem to allow that.
    I began noticing this bug about two weeks ago. That might have been about the same time I updated to 12.1. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Cory K.

    Adding to my last post, I used a clipboard format inspector called nclip (http://code.google.com/p/nclip/) to see if I could find a pattern between "what works" and "what doesn't".
    There are two cases where I'm seeing paste-into-Dreamweaver CS6 fail:
    Paste into Code View fails, but Paste into Design View works!
    Paste into either Code View or Design View fails
    I went through the list of programs that worked and didn't worked, using nclip to show what clipboard formats were being saved from each working and non-working source. It appears that DreamWeaver CS6 as of January 9, 2013 doesn't accept the most basic text clipboard formats:
    CF_UNICODETEXT
    CF_TEXT
    CF-OEMTEXT
    CF_LOCALE
    If these are the only clipboard formats used by an app (for example, Window's venerable Notepad.exe), Dreamweaver doesn't appear to handle them. Most programmer-style text editors output just these formats, because they are presumed to be understood any application that handles text. These fail for both pasting into codeview and design view.
    Interestingly, Chrome browser fails the code view test, but it does work in design view! It outputs the four clipboard types above, plus one more:
    Custom Format: HTML Format
    Hypothesis 1: Any application that puts HTML Format on the clipboard will paste into design view, but not necessarily code view.
    Next, Visual Studio 2010 and Sticky Notes, which doesn't include HTML Format as a clip type, works for both code view and design view. They both output this type in addition to the basics:
    Custom Format: Rich Text Format
    Two programs that output Rich Text Format without HTML Format are Sticky Notes and WordPad. These both work with Code View and Design View. From these limited tests on my system, it appears that for Dreamweaver to accept a text paste from an outside program into Code View, that program must output Rich Text Format to the clipboard. Otherwise, it fails. Dreamweaver will accept HTML Format, but only in Design View. Firefox is an exception in that it don't export Rich Text Format, but still works with Code View. It might use OLE, though (Chrome doesn't seem to use OLE, and it breaks in code view).
    Hypothesis 2: Any application that puts Rich Text Format on the clipboard will paste into design view AND code view.
    If Dreamweaver is really ignoring the basic text clipboard formats, and it's not just my system configuration, then this is a bug. Probably something that got overlooked in testing.
    To reproduce on Dreamweaver 12.1 build 5966:
    Try copy/pasting text from Notepad.exe into Dreamweaver Code View (DWCV). This fails for me.
    Try copy/pasting text from WordPad.exe into DWCV. This works!
    Try copy/pasting text from Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox into DWCV. This works!
    Try copy/pasting text from Chrome. This fails to paste into Code View, but does paste into Design View
    The Code View workaround:
    Use Firefox or Internet Explorer for your browser if you're copy/pasting source code.
    If you're working from another text editor, try copy/pasting into intermediate programs Sticky Notes or WordPad, then copy/paste from there into Dreamweaver.
    So that is my experience on Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
