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 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 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.

Pda cursor position property does not work

Hi!
I have a problem with cursor positionX propery on PDA.
I use PDA Module 8.2 and Windows Mobile 5 OS on PocketPC.
Actually problem is only when I try to get value of two cursors, it return the same value for both cursors (you can test it with attached VI), but when I set values it work fine.
I have also worked with PDA Module 8.0.1 in past and I remember that get cursor position value worked, so I have no idea why it doesn't work in newer version.
Thanks,
andrej

Hello andrej,
Unfortunately I also see the same behavior on a PDA using this "active cursor" property. It appears to me that this property is not being written successfully. I say this because it appears that the value displayed is always from the most recently repositioned cursor rather than either the 0 or 1 which is set by the property node.
What I will do at this point is to file a corrective action request so that this behavior is corrected for a future release of the LabVIEW PDA module. I apologize for the inconvenience that this causes for your application. Please let me know if I can help at all as you modify your application to work around this behavior. Thanks,

Event.hits property does not work at Adobe 9

I have just discovered that the property "event.hits" does not work at Adobe Reader 9 properly.
I have some JavaScript, which uses this property:
if (event.hits.length > 0)
var targetPos = event.hits[0].position;
Now, at Adobe Reader 9 the value of "event.hits[0].position" is not correct.
At Adobe 8 Standard this JavaScript works very well!
Can you comment this issue?

Hello to everyone!
There is a some PDF file, which works fine on Adobe 8 and does not work properly on Adobe 9.
You can download this file from the following hyper-link:
http://www.pdf3d.co.uk/pdf/box97.pdf
When I open this file on Adobe 8 then gold arrow works fine.
In this case the gold arrow (pointer) has a true location on the box.
When I open this file on Adobe 9 then gold arrow has a false location.
In this case the gold arrow (pointer) has a false location on the box.
Could somebody can to me a some suggestion?
Thank you,
Peter

Inspector not working... weinre: target not connected

Whe I try to connect to my iPhone 3G with Edge Inspect, the Inpsect app on the iPhone shows the mirror of the browser on my Desktop machine, but when I click on the < > button, the inspector window launches, but instead of the link to the device being shown I get Devices: none and the title in the top of the windaw says weinre: target not connected.
I have waited for for the spinning icon at the top of the app on the iPhone to stop spinning, but the inpsector window still does not connect.
Some info:
Remote device: iPhone 3g
Local device: Mac OS X 10.7.5
Local browser: Chrome version 22.0.1229.92
I have also tried connecting to an iPad 2 and it all works brilliantly. Edge Inspect is a great tool, but I am frustrated that the connection to my iPhone is not working. It was the same when it was Shadow

Hi Jules, sorry to hear you're having an issue too. The problem with trying to figure this out is that the problem is almost certainly some configuration on your machine or network and that's extremely difficult to solve remotely.
Here are some suggestions for other things to try, let me know what happens for each as it may give me some clue what's wrong. If you see something you think is wrong, please be as descriptive and complete as possible... screenshots can definitely be helpful.
In Chrome, go to http://debug.edgeinspect.adobe.com/ and tell me what you see there
Does it make a difference if you test a different page? Give http://google.com a try and see if you get a different-looking weinre window.
Are you testing content from localhost? If so, try taking Edge Inspect out of the loop and see if that changes anything...
Put this script tag into your web page: <script src="http://debug.edgeinspect.adobe.com/target/target-script-min.js#moretti"></script>
Reload the page in Chrome.
In a new browser tab/window go to http://debug.edgeinspect.adobe.com/client/#moretti
Does that get you a working weinre window?
If so, load the page in the native browser on your device (you'll need to use your computer's IP address instead of localhost) and on your computer refresh the /client#moretti window
Does that work? (NOTE: you can use any identifier after the hash as long as it's the same in both your script tag and the URL you input)

Justification property is not working when using a format mask

Hi all,
I have a text item with number data type and right to left reading order,
I put the justification property to right.
I used a format mask to set two decimal places for the entered number.
The problem is the justification property is not aligning right, I noticed that it's aligning right only if i removed the format mask or changed the reading order to (left to right).
I hope there is a solution for this
Thanks

Format mask and justification will not work for Non english character sets.
To support bidirectional languages such as Arabic, do not use Left or
Right justification (numeric text items can use Right justification). Use
Start and End instead.

Color correction arrow in the inspector not working

I noticed today that my color correction arrow in the inspector is not working. I click and click on it and it doesn't show the color board. The only way to show the color board is to use the shortcut command-6 or to click below and "show color board." So I can still get to the color board but it's frustrating that the arrow will not work. The arrow does work, however, to get from the color board back to the inspector. I am using the latest version of Final Cut X. Anyone else have this issue? Would love some help!

It's the multicolored arrow in the bottom right. It has worked before today with no problems. I don't know why it just suddenly stopped working.

Event.hits property does not work at Adobe 9 (repost)

When I open this file on Adobe 8 then gold arrow works fine.

When I open this file on Adobe 9 then gold arrow has a false location.
In this case the gold arrow (pointer) has a false location on the box.
Could somebody can to me a some suggestion?
Please note if you are using "Orthographic" mode then the gold arrow works fine and has a true location on the box (both Adobe 9 and Adobe .
If you are using "Perspective" mode then the problem is occurred.
In this case the gold arrow (pointer) has a false location on the box (on Adobe 9 only).
I am guessing that something in "Perspective algorithm" has been broken.
Could somebody can to me a some suggestion?

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.

Tab Page visible property node not working correctly

I am making a vi in which we have a tab control with 6 pages and to move from one page to another there is ring control with option for every page on page 1( page 1 is the default page), at a time only one page is visible so we can move only through that ring control present on page 1 and to come back to page 1 from all other pages there is button "go back" on all other 5 pages, everything is working fine for 5 pages but when after going on page 6 and then if i press go back button instead of going back to page 1 program hangs and one more thing that i noticed is after stopping the program the page 6 becomes the default page( which otherwise is page1) i dont know why this is happening.
I am attaching the snippet of the code which executes when i press go back button.
one more thing that i am not getting here is when i checked the program through step execution, the last property node( page6 ) that is executing first after that it goes to first property node and then it goes in sequence, this also i want to how is this happening.
Solved!

I think you would be better off just to use your array and turn on/off the necessary tabs instead of explicity setting each property every iteration.
Attached is one example.

Property settings not working

I have several property tags in my JNLP file, but when I launch my application I get the following error:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission stubMessage write)
for each property I've included in the JNLP file. Since the properties are not getting set, I then get an exception when trying to read the properties that should be set.
I'm using JWS 1.0.1 and a signed JAR file. This all works if I use all-permissions, but I do not want to use all permissions. In reading the JNLP spec, it seems that setting properties in the JNLP file should work without all-permissions. How do I pass properties without using all-permissions?

I noticed that in the new maintenance release there is a referene that :
In Java Web Start 1.0.1_02, the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) will not allow use of any settings of the form <property name="NAME" value="VALUE"/> unless the "NAME" begins with "jnlp." or "javaws."

"Content Administration - Multiple Property Replacement" not working

Hi,
I am trying to change the value of a the property with ID "SupportedUserAgents" in all the iViews in my folder. I followed as it is stated in <http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/44/ccf6bf687f3b9ae10000000a1553f6/content.htm> and changed the value of the property and the final report says that all the matches were replaced successfuly without any errors. But when I go back to any of the iViews and see the value of the property "SupportedUserAgents" I realise that the replacement did not happen. Am I missing something here?
I want to add some more info to this. The value of the property "SupportedUserAgents" should be selected from a dropdown and the dropdown contains these values
1) (MSIE, >=5.5, *) (Netscape, *, *) (Mozilla, *, *)
2) (MSIE, >=5.5, *)
3) (Netscape, *, *) (Mozilla, *, *)
Now as stated in the above link, I am trying to replace the value of the property "SupportedUserAgents" to (,,*) which is not there in the dropdown list (the above 3 values). So is it correct to do it in for dropdown fields?
Useful answers will be definitely rewarded
Regards

Hi SAP Fanatic,
(1) Do you want to change the value in the dropdown box, or the actual value? I can change the actual value, but it will not appear in the dropdown -- -- Select will appear (indicating no value) but in fact the value has been changed, which you can see in the PCD inspector.
(2) I used the Multiple Property tool also. Are you changing the value by putting in the value and changing it to a new value, or are you specifying the property ID and a new value? I did the second.
Daniel
P.S.: Will you reveal your secret identity?
