ProSelect no longer allowed access to Lr catalog (ver. 3.0+)

It appears that Adobe have changed the  functionality of Lightroom 3 so that it is no longer possible to open  Raw images in Lightroom 3 from ProSelect (any version).
Previous versions of Lightroom allowed ProSelect to pass a list of  image file locations to Lightroom and it then offered the option to  "Show in Library" which, when clicked, displayed these images.
Lightroom 3 has removed this functionality so this operation is no longer possible.
PLEASE ADOBE:  CHANGE IT BACK!  You are affecting many, many professional photographers that use Lightroom and ProSelect!

Hi All,
I am the owner of TimeExposure and developer of ProSelect (Peter Howlett is my name).
ProSelect is designed as a specialized presentation, sales and workflow tool for professional portrait and wedding photographers. It integrates tightly with Photoshop via javascript scripting and to a much lesser extent with Lightroom due to the inability (so far as we have been able to determine) to trigger any Lightroom scripts from OUTSIDE of Lightroom.
Our customers who use ProSelect with Lightroom do so in two ways:
1. They prepare RAW images for their presentation in Lightroom and export these as jpg into ProSelect. If you send an image to ProSelect (using the "open document" process) it adds the image to its own currently open "catalog" (to use Lightroom's terms - we call this an album). So it is easy to setup an export process in Lightroom to do this. In this case, the converted jpgs are normally exported to the same folder as the original raw files before being imported into ProSelect.
2. After the sales sessions where the customers orders are recorded in ProSelect, the ordered images need to be produced. This is initiated from within ProSelect because it has the list of images that need to be dealt. ProSelect looks for any associated raw images in the same folder as the selected jpg files and allows the photographer to "Open the original RAW images" in Photoshop's ACR with a simple button command from within ProSelect. You could also do this with Lightroom versions 1&2, however this process seems longer possible with Lightroom 3.
What has changed in Lightroom 3 that effects ProSelect?
The mechanism that we used in Lightroom 1&2 was to use the "Open Document" OS event to send the path of the RAW files that we wished to open to Lightroom. This is the equivalent to selecting a bunch of RAW image files in the Finder on the Mac or Windows Explorer on a PC and dropping them onto the Ligthroom app. In Lightroom 1&2, Lightroom recognized that the files were already in its catalog and presented a dialog stating this and asking if you wished to "Show in Library". Clicking this button showed all of the selected images from ProSelect in Lightroom ready to be edited and exported for printing. This worked great.
Lightroom 3 behaves differently. While it indicates that the images are already in the catalog by displaying them in the Open Document dialog as disabled,  you no longer get the option to "Show in Library". That's the essence of the problem being faced by our users.
Solutions?
It would be great to get the previous functionality back.
It would be great to be able to trigger a Lightroom script from outside of Lightroom so we could do some other cool stuff between Lightroom and ProSelect.
An example of using externally trigger script is...  With Photoshop, ProSelect can send an image to Photoshop tell it to run an action on that image and re-import and display the resulting image back into ProSelect all in the background during a live sales session. It would be great to be able to do the same with Lightroom. The key to this is that the photographer does not want to have to switch applications, do stuff, and switch back during the sales session - this is a distraction for their customers and can have a negative impact on the sales session.
On the subject of scripting in Lightroom... we have developed a command line application that can talk to ProSelect so it is possible to send commands to ProSelect using a shell call from Lightroom but getting results back doesn't seem so easy. It would be great to have the ability to send a shell command with parameters and get the "standard output" result back as a returned variable. I know we could do this via the file system but that is really clumsy. This would be my third request for improving interactivity between Lightroom and ProSelect.
Any suggestion or ideas would be welcome. If you would like to find out more about ProSelect here is a link to its page on our web site:

  • Our accountant is no longer allowed access to the QuickBooks file

    My main server is Small Business Server 2008 Standard (i.e. pre-R2).  I have another box running Server 2012 that's just acting as a Hyper-V host.  On that server I have three relevant VMs, all Windows 7 Professional and joined to the domain. One
    is acting as a host for our QuickBooks file and running some other QuickBooks-related tasks.  The other two are for two people who have to access QuickBooks remotely via RDP (we don't have a Terminal Server license).
    Our accountant has been accessing the QuickBooks file for several weeks from an in-office domain-joined Windows 7 Pro computer at the shared resource "\\Quickbooks-host\QuickBooks Data".  Today she's told that she's not allowed to access Quickbooks-host.
    In the SBS console she is set for local administrator access to that computer. On Quickbooks-host the "Quickbooks Data" folder is shared with her having explicit full control as <domain>\<user>, both in Properties | Sharing | Share...
    and Properties | Sharing | Advanced Sharing ... | Permissions. On Quickbooks-host she is listed in Control Panel | User Accounts | Give other users access to this computer under her user name and my domain as an administrator.  What more could Microsoft
    possibly want?
    (BTW, I despise Microsoft's networking permissions management.  Why must I give permission in two places for the same resource, and still have it not work?)
    So I tried to get her going for the day by letting her RDP into one of the other two VMs, since the person that regularly uses that is  in the office today.  She's a member of Remote Desktop Users and Mobile Users and a few others. But I can't
    connect using her account, with or without a domain and using the real domain name or "quickbooks-host" as the domain name.  SOmetims I just get "login failed", sometimes I get a pop-up "The connection was denied because the user
    account is not authorized for remote login".  I can't find any more places to add authorization.
    Did I mention how much I despise Windows' control of networking permissions?
    So is there any way to convince Windows 7 that our accountant is allowed access?

    Hi,
    Glad to see your problem resolved, hope your experience is helpful with others.

  • Application no longer allowed access to the desktop in Mavericks

    HI I have a particularly irritating problem.  For a while now any application that attempts to access the desktop upon initial startup or to save a file to it will hang requiring a force quit from the finder.  Installations go without a hitch.  This problem only appears when apps either default to the desktop on first run or when they are directed to save a file from them to the desktop.  Drag and drop operations from local folders like documents and downloads or external drives or folders to the desktop have to problem doing so.  I have run repair permissions on my main drive.

    Any Ideas on what to do so I can get functionality back on my system.  Currently I am on a late 2007 iMac extreme edition 2.88gighertz model with 4 gigs of ram.  I am running the latest updates to Mavericks.  Overall its not a problem with programs that I can set or open with no preference to start but there are some programs that default to the desktop upon initial startup.  These are effectively unusable at present.  Thanks in advance for the help.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.

  • Firefox no longer allows access to pages within thegenealogist.co.uk why is this?

    I am subscribed to thegenealogist.co.uk which is a genealogy site. What happens is you look up your ancestor and there are links to send you to the census image. Now when I go to click on these links I get a red circle with a diagonal red bar. The link does not open.

    This could be a number of things, such as your firewall/anti-virus blocking the links from opening. Or it could be a problem with the Adobe Reader. If you try uninstalling all versions of adobe and installing a new one from the Adobe.com website. If you contact the support team at TheGenealogist using the web form with details of your browser they should be able to help.

  • Photos app no longer allows access to camera roll

    Suddenly my Photos App now hides the Camera Roll album behind the "Albums" header, where I can't click on it. I can briefly drag it down, but I can't touch it quickly enough to select it.
    The only way I've been able to look at those photos has been via the Camera app. I tried clearing all photos off the Touch and cycling through all both Camera and Photos, both of which show no photos or videos available, but as soon as I add a photo, the problem is back.
    How can I reset Photos to show my camera roll again?

    Let's assume you are in your camera roll. Now do the following:
    1. Click on the home button once to get out of the camera roll
    2. Double click on the home button. (Now you should see a number of icons on the bottom of the screen. These are the applications that are currently open).
    3. Scroll sideways until you see the "Photo" app.
    4. Tap and hold the Photo icon until it jiggles and there is a red "close" button on it.
    5. Tap that red button and you'll see the icon disappear.
    6. Click the home button once to get back to your desktop.
    Now you have successfully closed the app and opening it anew will get rid of your problem.

  • I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

    I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues).  And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • I'm not allowed access to my own files...

    Hello all,
    Just talked to an Adobe person on the Chat, but he couldn't help me, he told me to get someone on the phone... on the phone, they told me they couldn't help me because my product was too old... they told me to come here and ask for help... now I just hope you guys aren't going to tell me you can't help me, because of some other sort of reason!
    Here's my problem:
    For a few years now, I use a CS2 for work, both on my office-computer and on my home computer. 
    Ever since I installed it, on one of the computers the updates of Adobe Acrobat keep popping up, but only get halfway. They start installing, announcing themselves: “Adobe is now installing Acrobat 7.1…” and suddenly, it stops and says: “Windows finds it impossible
    to write onto the file  C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\Activex\AcroIEhelper.dll.  Check if you have access to this file”.
    It gives me the choice between “resume, ignore, or abort”.  If I choose resume or ignore, the installation goes on till the end and I am asked to reboot. As if everything has gone well.
    But it hasn’t.  For when I do, after the computer’s started up again, instead of having an updated Acrobat, the update starts all over again:
    “now installing Acrobat 7.1…” until the reboot, the same way again, and so ad infitum.
    After a few times, I actually went checking in my computer for this location, to see what was wrong with this file on which Windows seemed to have so much trouble “writing onto”. I searched for the file called AcroIEhelper.dll, but found it wasn’t there…  No wonder they couldn’t write anything on it, I thought!
    I copied the file from my disk in the CS-box, and placed it exactly on the location it was supposed to be; at least, that’s what I tried to do,
    but soon as I did, a box appeared saying: “You are not allowed to execute this transaction”    (or something of the sort – I’m translating from
    Dutch here).  No matter howmany times I try, it always stops me, blocking my access.
    It never says why, however.
    So, the update is never really finished, I know that now, it's for lack of this blasted file. But I'm never allowed to put it where it belongs. 
    Ever since, each day when switching on my computer, the first thing I have to do is to stop this Adobe Acrobat update, which
    stubbornly -and uselessly- starts installing, before I can start working.  Every single day, and I am sick of it! 
    The computer it happens on is the second one I installed the CS on, it's a Vista.  I don't think that's the problem, though.  Would it?
    I was assured I could install my CS on 3 systems, this was the second. The one in my office is an XP Pro.
    Anybody can give me the answer to the refusal of this file? Why am I not allowed access to the files in my own computer?  And is there a
    way to MAKE the thing give me access?
    Tanks for any help...

    Thanks, Markerline. I couldn't reply this weekend, since I had omitted to send my login-password on this forum to my home-computer.  It's at home I'm having the problem: over here at work, nothing bothers asking me if I want to be updated.  (I don't even know whether I'm getting updated at all; I'm not allowed to experiment much whith this one, since I'm in the National network...
    I think I've tried it most of the times from an ampty desktop. Nothing to do with Adobe nor anything else working yet.  After all, the update is the first thing that pops up after startup; I have to abort it before I can start doing anything.
    I'll try it again, after reading the articles you write about. I might find the answer if I learn more of what this IEhelperthingy is all about.  It's really small, a few 5 MB or so; but it seems to be important enough to cause trouble.
    If I never manage to force-squeeze it into the Adobe file, my only hope is to get rid of these eternal useless attempts to update to Acrobat 7.1.  I'd be happy to go on working with number 6 or whatever I have right now, as long as I'm not constantly pestered by a never-ending update.  
    My old computer never told me I wasn't allowed to do what I wanted to it, the way this one does. I find it annoying! It makes me feel like it takes me for a fool....

  • Why can't I access the app catalog?

    I have a Verizon palm Pre Plus and when I try to access the app catalog I get this:
    The action could not be completed. Try again later.
    When I go online and send the app to my phone and then use my phone to click the link it gives me this same message again.
    My phone is fully updated to the latest OS. I should add that before I updated to the latest OS I was at least able to install apps when sending them to my phone though I wasn't able to access the app store via the phone.
    So what can I do? I have a new palm pre plus that doesn't allow me to get apps....

    I have restarted the phone multiple times which did not help but I just tried the restore erase data feature and now I do have access to the app store but a new problem has arrived. I can't download anything. The progress bar states that it is downloading but nothing happens and the bar shows zero progress. I've tried this with multiple apps and avenn bought a cheap app and still this happens. The phone can sit for 10 minutes and nothing downloads.
    I should add that I have full signal bars and the 3g logo is lit up.
    My next step when I get home is to use webOS doctor and see if I can fix the OS.
    I'm starting to wish I just bought the Motorola droid...

  • HELP needed on Remote Management set to allow access for all users

    my mac mini snow leopard server runs in a data center and i use screen sharing to interact with it. i played with the sharing settings remotely yesterday and changed "allow access for" to all users. i was disconnected immediately and i couldn't logon again. i have no luck changing to other users. i don't want to make a special trip to the center to change it back to whatever it used to be. i can still use afp to connect but the screen sharing option is no longer available. what does "allow access for all users" mean anyway?
    thanks!

    As its name implies, allow access for all should allow any valid user account to access the server. I'm not sure why it's no longer working. It almost sounds like the ARDAgent crashed.
    Either way there's a command-line interface to the ARD preferences:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ki ckstart
    man kickstart discusses the options, including examples of how to enable access for specific users.

    Hendry
    Just thought I'd let you know.  Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected.  I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800.  So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.

  • How do I deauthorise computers that I no longer have access to?

    That's it really - when in iTunes you go Store>Deauthorise this computer I can only do this PC which I want to be the only authoried PC - before you could deauthorise all PCs?
    Thanks,

    You cannot yourself deauthorize a computer that's not working or to which you no longer have access. You can authorize a total of up to five systems, so it's probably not really important that you deauthorize other units now. Once you reach five total authorizations, a button will appear in your iTunes Store account that will allow you to deauthorize all your systems, so that would at that time recover any now-useless authorizations.
    If for some reason you really feel you need to deauthorize other systems now, you can try contacting the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting) and explaining the problem to them. They might be willing to clear your authorizations for you.
