PS CS4 Locks During 2nd Image Loading

I am using Windows 7 64-bit on an AMD Phenom II machine with 8 GB of RAM that I built a few months ago. It hardly has any other software on it, other than the CS4 suite. I usually select photos for editing by right-clicking on an image, then choosing the "Open With" option for Photoshop. Beginning about 2 days ago, when I attempt to open a second image, Photoshop stops responding and Windows displays a spinning circle. The second image won't load unless I force close Photoshop, then open the image. So, it looks like I can open only 1 image at a time, now.
Both of my Windows computers have been acting squirrely the last few days. The one connected to the Internet often times out before it loads a page. The other (my new computer) is not connected to the Internet, but it is plugged into a second network card to my old computer (Windows decided to stop talking between the machines, so the networking link currently is non-functional, but it used to work). Considering the symptoms, I'm inclined to think that everything is a Windows problem, rather than just a CS4 issue. It greatly annoys me that my new, massively-powerful computer ever gives me a wait icon, but it has been happening more and longer as I've continued using it. For the last week, when I turn on my new computer, I get another error message of something else that isn't loading correctly (today, it was a USB port had a current surge, even though the device hooked to it is not turned on; yesterday, it was a notice that a motherboard device driver--I think it was a hard drive device driver--failed to load).
One possible problem on my new machine is that I often either allow or put Windows 7 into sleep mode, usually with Photoshop still open and in the middle of editing an image. I know that was a problem under Windows XP, because it always gunks up memory, but I was hoping that Microsoft had fixed that by now.
Does anyone have a better idea for what could be causing my new machine to behave this way?

How long is a long time? It was hanging when I googled over to this forum, looked at my last thread, wrote this new thread, then went back to check on it. I'd say at least 5 minutes with no change in status. I tried rebooting the computer, edited another photo, then tried to load a second photo. After a few seconds, an alert bar appeared across the top of my screen, informing me that my background layer had stopped responding. I tried to shut down the alert, but Windows 7 told me that the application had stopped responding.
Event Viewer shows only 2 errors in the last hour, both for application hang. It shows several errors over the last 24 hours, for JRAID, distributed COM, SideBySide and SharedAccessNAT.
One of the hard drives that I more recently installed in my new system is questionable. I pulled it out of an external drive that was intermittent. However, I am not using that drive with PS (or much of anything else). I have that drive set up as a dynamic spanned volume with another hard drive that had previously been in my old computer. PS has 2 other hard drives that I want it to use.
I've now disconnected my network cable from my new computer. I'd like to be able to reset networking completely back to scratch. I'd rather not have to wipe out the OS if I can avoid it, but now would be the time to do that, before I load anything else on this machine.
Edit: I just confirmed a suspicion I had. I recently learned a new editing technique. I found that before I begin that editing technique, I can open as many images in PS as I like. After I tell PS to apply a smart blur to a duplicate layer of an image, an attempt to open another image locks up PS. It is definitely that set of actions that causes the lock-up.

Images loading order & thumbnail pointing corresponding image directly

Hi,
May i ask 2 questions here.
1) If you can click this link http://www.prashanthvfx.com/Concepts&Imaginery.html, you can see that all my 14 drawings that had been lined up one after the other, are trying to load at the same time. Is there any way to prioritize, by which the 1st image loads first and 2nd image loads second and so on.
2) If you can click this link http://www.prashanthvfx.com/art.html , you can find under "Concepts & Imaginary", i had displayed 14 thumbnails for the above link. All the images are linked to the above webpage (14 bigger images). Now, if you click on any thumbnail, it will open the link were all 14 bigger images are displayed from the starting. My question here is, can we device a way, by which if first if we click each image, it will point to the corresponding bigger image on the http://www.prashanthvfx.com/Concepts&Imaginery.html.
Meaning, if i click on the last thumbnail "Keep city Clean", it will open and directly point to the last image on the linked webpage, by pushing the vertical scroll bar all the way down, were the corresponding bigger image is displayed.
Kind note: i'm an artist and posting my work on my website. So, i really appreciate your answers.
Thanking you,

Sorry, but you can't control the order in which page items load. This
is browser dependant and each browser handles the order differently.
Hi Nancy, i'm a bit shocked to hear this. I was thinking website designing has evolved over many years and so there should definitely be a way to load images in order. I am a Computer Graphcis artist and so not much good in scripting. But, i think we can device a simple script by which we can mention the images order separated by comma's "," and so the browser will not load the 2nd image until it has completely finishined loading the 1st image. Correct me if am wrong.
I don't understand your question. Do you have a link to a web page that actually does what you're asking?
Sure I have. If you can click this link http://www.prashanthvfx.com/art.html , you can find under "Concepts & Imaginary", i had displayed 14 thumbnails for the above link. All the images are linked to one webpage were 14 bigger images are stacked. Now, if you click on any thumbnail, it will open the link keeping the vertical scroll bar at the top. So, you need to scroll all the way down to see the corresponding bigger image. My question here is, can we device a way, by which if first if we click each image, it will point to the corresponding bigger image on the http://www.prashanthvfx.com/Concepts&Imaginery.html.
Meaning, if i click on the last thumbnail "Keep city Clean" , it should open http://www.prashanthvfx.com/Concepts&Imaginery.html and directly point to the last image on the linked webpage, by pushing the vertical scroll bar all the way down, were the corresponding bigger image is displayed.
Hope i am making myself clear with the above links and examples. I would be glad to give you further explantion if needed.
I really appreciate your time.

Lock Screen Custom Image Stuck on Load for Windows 8.1

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1, but it reset my custom lock screen image. I tried re-applying it but the lock screen preview in the settings is stuck on a load loop. Does anyone know why that is and why it won't set my custom image as the
new lock screen image?

Hi all,
I've experienced the same issue and it disappeared after doing some weird steps.
First about the problem:
I have Surface Pro tablet, updated to Windows 8.1 many months ago. However yesterday this issue happened for the first time (not sure what triggered it) and continued today as well, even after restarting:
- Charms bar > Settings > Personalize. Click on background color or Accent color palette to try to change color: the pane and Start menu behind freezes and doesn't react on anything except for pressing Windows button on tablet, that throws back to
desktop. But when you return to that menu it appears the color has been changed after all (as much as could have been done in one click before it froze).
- Can't change lock screen: I didn't move the image selected there and previous images, they are still located at the same folder. But after selecting an image loading wheel spins and image never updates.
Fix:
After reading here that this replicates with account picture for some people, I wanted to check this on my tablet as well. My account picture shown the current image and 2 previous images to the right. When clicking first of those, nothing changed. When
clicking on the second one it shown the image from the first selected as account picture, and vice versa - when clicking on the first again it shown the second pic selected as account picture. After browsing and selecting other image, it didn't update in account
picture, but after going out from the menu and back again it appeared that the account image updated after all.
After that all started working normal again - can select account picture, change lock screen and personalize without problems. Weird, but it worked.

XML scrolling thumbnail, image loader, & Buttons [halfway works]

Intro:
I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.
For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.
I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline:
Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.
Issue #1
As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...
1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.
[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.
Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.
[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"]
[also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
Issue #2
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.
However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]
With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:
Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.
Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.
I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science. [yes, for many its not...but my brain just does not operate that route despite all the tutorials thrown at me.]
Again, it would seem that there would be a button panel where you could drag options like scrolling thumbnail slider, loader, and then parameters would come up. [much like Apples iWeb. - but before the argument of one being pro and the other for non-pros, I see it differently. Software should not be the limiting factor in how flexible you can design, or rather ones lack of programming shouldnt be. With all the talented, and I say this in all humility and honesty, programmers working for Adobe, Im sure something could be programmed like what Im asking for.]
note: Director is a good example, back in 1997 I knew nothing of multimedia and in one week I had assembled a portfolio, clicking buttons, speech, movies, and all. - and no, I dont have the money to buy more software!
At this moment I am at the mercy of someone who reads code like its a nighttime tale they are telling their kids, and who can see the exact issue I have and can share the appropriate, correct code. [as I have noticed, it has to be on target - naturally - but this target changes with just a slight change in the design.]
Thank you,
peace
Dalen
p.s.
The actionscript: [note: This is only the current working/good code that Im trying to get the buttons to call up.]

The issues with the buttons calling up the scrolling thumbnail panel have been resolved, as well as keeping the buttons in their hit state once clicked, thanks to Rob.
Those that have been following this thread, or stumble upon it in their searches later, may appreciate to see the final solution to this particular issue.
[Hopefully I will be able to update this thread with a url in the future to show the site in operation, which may help somebody with their project in the future if its set up similarly.]
Alas, it would be nice if future versions of flash had a more direct, flexible, user friendly method for creating navigation.
[We may see development beyond the flash ads which everyone seems to loathe... and more creativity with flash in terms of games, web interactivity, & animation.

Interface frozen with images loaded with Loader()

Hi all,
I am trying to create a web app that allows the user to load an image from a local folder and process it with some image processing. I was able to do that with FileReference and Loader.
I am using an asynchronous shader to process the image and it seems that when the image is loaded locally the interface is locked out for a second or so before showing the result. However, if the image is embedded this does not happen and the image is updated instantly with the result.
I don't really understand why an image loaded with a loader has this lag and an embadded image does not... Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Unable to install CS4 on a 2nd computer.

Seeking help installing CS4 on a 2nd computer. I have CS4 on my desktop iMac (using OSX 10.7.5) and since I recently bought a MacBook Pro (using 10.8.3), I wanted to install it on there as well. The only problem is that the MacBook Pro does not have a CD player. To get around that, I put the CD contents on a USB Key. I attempted to load CS4 on the MacBook Pro using the USB Key, but right off the bat it gave me an error when I double-clicked the SETUP folder: "SETUP ERROR - Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance." I tried this several times but got the same message. I called Adobe however they were unable to help since it is an old version - they suggested I post the question here and see if someone can help. The Adobe Rep did say that perhaps the Setup file was corrupted, but did not offer any further information beyond that.

Noel:
Thank you so incredibly much - I sincerely appreciate your help!
I did just what you recommended and it worked perfectly!
For anyone else reading this with the same problem, here is how I did it:
I copied the entire Photoshop CS4 to a USB Key
plugged that in to my MacBook Pro
made a New Folder on the Desktop of the MacBook
copied all the items from the USB Key to the New Folder
dropped the New Folder into the Macintosh HD on the MacBook
then went to the Photoshop CS4 folder on the Macintosh HD
double-clicked on the SETUP folder, and voila - it worked!
Once I entered the serial number, the program downloaded and the only hitches were that it did not have the latest Adobe AIR version, so I had to go to the Adobe site and download a new version of that at www.adobe.com/go/getair
I am so thankful - Adobe would not work with me since I had the older version of CS4, so I was faced with buying a new version of Photoshop, not being able to use it on my laptop, and possibly buying Aperture instead - none of which I really wanted to do. So thanks again - you know your stuff and your help is greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Jimmy.

Image load stuck

Since upgrading aperture 3.2 to aperture 3.2.1, I've had success. My images load well. So my new problem is that one image sticks on load when I bring it up. I don't believe this is related to any upgrade issue, I think it's a one off. What do you think is the issue with a stuck edited image. Should I discard the image altogether, and consider it a contaminate, or just reset all adjustments? The master is on a Cd so I'm not losing if I re-submit. I'm just baffled at the fact hat this is one image out of many that sticks on load. There is no proccessing wheel when it sticks, just loading.

Hi all,
I've experienced the same issue and it disappeared after doing some weird steps.
First about the problem:

- Charms bar > Settings > Personalize. Click on background color or Accent color palette to try to change color: the pane and Start menu behind freezes and doesn't react on anything except for pressing Windows button on tablet, that throws back to
desktop. But when you return to that menu it appears the color has been changed after all (as much as could have been done in one click before it froze).
- Can't change lock screen: I didn't move the image selected there and previous images, they are still located at the same folder. But after selecting an image loading wheel spins and image never updates.
Fix:
After reading here that this replicates with account picture for some people, I wanted to check this on my tablet as well. My account picture shown the current image and 2 previous images to the right. When clicking first of those, nothing changed. When
clicking on the second one it shown the image from the first selected as account picture, and vice versa - when clicking on the first again it shown the second pic selected as account picture. After browsing and selecting other image, it didn't update in account
picture, but after going out from the menu and back again it appeared that the account image updated after all.
After that all started working normal again - can select account picture, change lock screen and personalize without problems. Weird, but it worked.

Safari (7.0), images load black

Hello,
After upgrading to mavericks and safari 7.0, some images from websites that I visit load up black. This seems to be only apparent on safari because I installed google chrome just to see if it would be universal but the images load fine on google chrome. Also, it's interesting how I can see the images during the brief moment when I zoom in/out on the safari browser. I already tried to reinstall the os, repair disk permissions, and delete the cache files. Any help would be appreciated.
example of how images are
example of how images are while I am zooming in/out

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Stage flashes white just before images load

Hello Forum members,
I have a strange problem. I have developed a Flash slideshow that loads 6 images from the web server using an xml loader (the image names are in an
xml file), then loads these images into an array. I have an xmlloader to read the xml file, and a Loader that loads the images from the array,
and then changes the images every 4 secs or so.
My problem is that when the web page is opened from a client, the space where the flash object is located (in a table)
flashes white until the images are loaded. I thought I could fix the problem by making the stage the same color as
the background on the web page. No dice, I still see a white box (800x320 px) that is the size of the stage, and the size of
the images.
When I compile it on my computer, if I look fast I can see a quick flash of white just before the images load!
The web site is: www.andiamoadventours.com. I did not develop the page, but put the Flash code in the index.html page.
There is quite a lot of javascript on this page, maybe developed in Dreamweaver.
Any ideas on this? I can attach the action script code if desired, for more clarification. Let me know on this.
Basically, the images reside in a folder on the web server, the xml file has the image names, the xml loader reads the xml file,
and when it is complete, goes to a routine that takes the name of the image from an xml list I create, and then loads an array.
I load the image into the loader, etc. This is clearer with the code. I am using CS4 and a document class, slides.as.
Thanks,

Hello dmennenoh
I replaced the old code with the swf object, and added a background color to the embedded definitions,
This solved the problem!
Thanks, I will keep this in my memory

Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
Derek Randall

I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them, However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

byte image[] =(byte[]) outData.get("image");
                    ByteArrayInputStream img = new ByteArrayInputStream(image);
                    hmimg.put("P_PARAMV3", img);

How can i control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?

Sup buddies,
How can I control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?
As the project grows in size the load time increases. How does one control not loading all images ,divs,elements etc. until they're
needed on the timeline? For example some sections are off and only become visible when recalled. My projects slowly grow in size so loading
all images , is counter productive . My other option would be to create separate htmls but that breaks the seamless user experience .
TY...Over N Out...

hello, kiwi
quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
yes.
maybe,...
1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
or,
2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

Any Way I Can Make My Page's Images Load One At a Time?

Hi folks,
I have a page with a stack of large images. It takes several seconds for them all to load, but I was wondering if there's any way I could dictate the order in which all of these images load? This way, the top image would load first, then the the next one down, and so on, leaving little perceivable page load time for visitors.
It seems like this would be a common necessity for a web page, does anyone know an easy (because I know very little about this) way to do this?
Thanks!

One major problem, is that you have scaled the images in DW, and not in a graphics program. I have your page open in the background and it's been a while loading and it's still not finished :-)
eg: the following images has properties of:
http://www.selfeffacingtheories.com/web-content/pictures/picpics/holes.jpg
933px × 699px but you have scaled it to: 615px × 458px
Trying to put your page through the Web Optimiser - doesn't show a very good result - it couldn't be tested because it exceed the size requirement.
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/
The size of this web page (4264698 bytes) has exceeded the maximum size of 3000000 bytes.
This is just way too big a file size and seriously needs to be optimised. The only way to do this is to scale down the images in either Photoshop or Fireworks.
Why not use a lightbox effect, where you show a much smaller size of the image and then when someone clicks on it they see a much larger version of the image:
My small demo here: (using the Dreamweaver Lightbox Extension)

Error in Setting lock for Master Data Load

Hi Team,
I encounter the following error while uploading the Masterdata
"Lock NOT set for: Loading master data attributes
Attributes of characteristic 0BPARTNER are locked by terminated change run 465451241"
I Performed the following steps
1) Checked if any active jobs (change run jobs) running in the system. But no jobs running.
2) RSATTR->infoobject list-> no infoobject found
3)Tried after sometime ,but load continue to fail
Could anyone help to solve the problem
thanks
Bala

Hi Bala,
Check in SM12 if there are any locks exist with the change run number?
First check if there are any Master data loads running related to it?
Check in the Attribute change run screen if there are any change run steps are running?
Once after checking the above if no locks exist and no master data is running then check the below steps
1. Run RSA1 transaction
2. Tools -> Apply Hierarchy/Attibutes Change(or direct transaction RSATTR)... menu option
3. Click at "Monitor and Start terminated Change Runs" button (at the bottom of the screen)
4. Click "Reset Status" button at Run ID 465451241
NOTE: this is not recommended, to unlock the locks better to wait till the locks get relased.
If still the error message persists then we can use a FM in se37 in serious cases which was not recommended by SAP...
Use RSDDS_AGGR_MOD_CLOSE in se37 and execute--->there give ur failed change run no(465451241) beside I_CNSID and execute...
It releases all the locks by that change run....and continue with your further work/jobs...

Transaction Locking during multiple Webservice - persistent webs sessions

Hi All, 
 
Yesterday evening we had a discussion concerning ESA architecture. We want to create (web)services for accessing the SAP business objects (using XI) and use these (web)services via visual composer, webdynpro or custom java development. 
 
It does not seem a big problem to perform creations and reads of transaction, but when we want to change objects, we saw some problems concerning locking/commiting and rollbacks. 
 
From our GUI we would like to be able to go in edit mode and from that moment on, the transaction should be locked. We then want to change certain parameters and commit only when we push the save button. 
 
We can invoke a webservice wich tries to lock the transaction, but at the moment the XI scenario is completed (=the lock is created), the program at SAP side (=proxy in our case) is also finished and the lock is automaticly removed. How can we do locking, when using webservices via XI? 
 
The problem of the rollback and commit we can partially solve by putting more logic in the GUI, but we don't want to do that. How can we do a change of a business object and remember this change without doing a commit on the SAP system.... . Same problem for the rollback. 
 
Is there a away to keep a session "alive" during multiple webservice calls or to simulate it? Every webservice invokation happens in a different context...isn't it? 
 
 
Just to make it a bit more clear. 
 
Suppose we create 6 service related to the business object bupa (business partner). 
- read 
- change 
- commit 
- rollback 
- lock 
- unlock. 
 
We create a GUI which uses these services. 
 
Step1: we want to see bupa in detail, so the read webservice is called and the retrieved details are shown in the GUI 
Step2: we want to go in edit mode, so the lock webservice is called to lock the bupa. The bupa should stay locked, untill the unlock is called. Here occurs the problem. The webservice lock is called, XI will trigger the proxy on the SAP system. This proxy will lock the bupa. As soon as the proxy-program is completed, the bupa lock will automaticly be removed ... . We want to keep this lock! 
Step3: we change the bupa using the change webservice. Only the user who locked the bupa should be able to change it. 
Problem concerning the locking occurs: standard we don't know who locked the bupa (this is done by the generic RFC user, configured in sm59). Should we pass some kind of GUID towards the proxy and build some additional logic to know which end-user in fact locked it... . Using the userid isn't sufficient, because a user could logon multiple time simultanously. 
 
Another problem is that we want to change the bupa, without having to do a commit yet.De commit should be called only when pushing the save button. When the proxy is ended and we did not do a commit, the changes are lost normally ... . 
 
What we in fact want to do is Simulate the bsp behaviour. 
Step4:We want to perform a save of the things we changed or a reset. This means the commit or rollback webservice is called. 
Step5: We want to unlock the bupa by calling the unlock webservice. 
 
 
Please give me your comments. 
 
Kind regards 
Joris

There are multiple strategies how to resolve this. They require that the last change time is available in the changed object, and also that the client keeps the value of the change time when it read the data.
1. First one wins
Immediately before posting the changes, the current change time is read from the server. In case it is different from the client buffer, then the client changes are discarted.
Example:
1. Client A reads data
2. Client B reads data
3. Client B changes its buffer
4. Client B checks if server change time has changed (result is no)
5. Client B writes his changes to the server
6. Client A changes its buffer
7. Client A checks if server change time has changed (result is yes)
8. Client A discarts its changes
2. Last one wins
Easy. Client just writes his changes to the server, overwriting any changes that might have occured since it read the data.
Example:
1. Client A reads data
2. Client B reads data
3. Client B changes its buffer
4. Client B writes his changes to the server
5. Client A changes its buffer
6. Client A writes its changes to the server -> changes from client B are lost
3. Everybody wins
Most complicated. In case of concurrent changes, the client is responsible for merging his changes with the changes from other clients and to resolve any conflicts.
Example:
1. Client A reads data
2. Client B reads data
3. Client B changes its buffer
4. Client B checks if server change time has changed (result is no)
5. Client B writes his changes to the server
6. Client A changes its buffer
7. Client A checks if server change time has changed (result is yes)
8. Client A merges its changes with changes from client B
9. Client A writes his changes to the server
"Last one wins" is definitely not water-proof. But even with the other strategies, data can potentially get lost in the short timeframe when the change time is checked and the actual update.
To make it more secure, server support is required. E.g. the client could pass the change time from its read access to the server. The server can then reliably reject the update if the change data has been updated in beetween by another client.
