PSE 10 Can't edit read-only layer groups (a.k.a. I just want to make a custom DVD menu in Elements)

A little background: I wanted to make a custom menu so I opened a copy of one of the canned menu.PSD files in PS Elements 10. It opened up with all layers and their sublayers showing. So far, so good. I did a bunch of editting and had my menu just about right, saved it and burned a DVD with it. I saw some corrections that I needed to make so I opened the same .PSD file and it showed all the main layers (with the folder icon) but not the attached layers.
I double-clicked to open these layers and got:
"You are attempting to open a group, which is not supported in Photoshop Elements. The layers in this group will be simplified into a single layer. Simplify the layers? Yes No."
I was just editing these things the day before yesterday. All I've done since then is register my software online. I have seen it stated in this forum that "Elements doesn't support layer group/sets" but it was referring to an earlier version I'm guessing.
Question 1: Is this still true of PSE 10?
Question 2: If so, how was I editing them the other day?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

If you haven't uninstalled premiere elements then it should work, but there are a few things that will not work when editing the dvd templates:
(it only works on certain dvd templates and only on a machine with premiere elements installed)
*If you change the document dimensions either larger or smaller. (not the size of the elements in the template but the overall size such as using
Image>Resize>Image Size or Canvas Size)
*If you delete any of the layer groups
*Changing the name of the document
There are probably other causes and they may know more on the premiere elements forum:

Can an unique index be created on read only cache group

Hi
Can an unique index be created on read only cache group
Regards
Siva Kumar

No, I do not think so. Creating a unique index could cause autorefresh operations to fail if the data being refreshed contains duplicate values that would not be allowed by the index. You can create regular indexes on a table in a readonly cache group.

Read Only for "Group" and "Others" via SMB

I see when Windows vista users of my OS X 10.5.8 server save a file to the server, the permissions show on the server as Read & Write for the owner and Read Only for 'Group' and 'Others'.
Is there a way I can make the OS X server always make 'Group' and 'Others' always be Read & Write?
Thanks!

It's using a shared component LOV cleverly called LOV_YN which consists of a static LOV with
1 Display=Yes, Return=Y
2 Display=No, Return=N
The settings in the LOV section on the item iteself:
Named LOV: LOV_YN
Display Extra values: No Dynamic translation: Not translated
Number of columns: 2 Display null: No
Null display value is blank as is null return value
Item was setup as a radio group and was only converted over to a select list to work around this issue. Let me know what else you need and thanks again.

Suggestions required for Read-only cache group in timesten IMDB cache

Hi
In IMDB Cache , If the underlying oracle RAC is having two schemas ( "KAEP" & "AAEP" , having same sturcture and same name of objects ) and want to create a Read-only cache group with AS pair in timesten.
Schema
    KAEP
Table
    Abc1
    Abc2
    Abc3
Schema
    AAEP
Table
    Abc1
    Abc2

Can a read-only cache group be created using union all query ?
The result set of the cache group should contain both schema records in timesten read-only cache group will it be possible ?
Will there be any performance issue?

You cannot create a cache group that uses UNION ALL. The only 'query' capability in a cache group definition is to use predicates in the WHERE clause and these must be simple filter predicates on the tables in the cache group.
Your best approach is to create separate cache groups for these tables in TimesTen and then define one or more VIEWS using UNION ALL in TimesTen in order to present the tables in the way that you want.

Read-only radio group losing value on validation error

It took quite a while to track this down, but I think I've got it narrowed down properly. I have an APEX form for updating a record in a databse table with a radio group which is conditionally read-only. If that radio group has a value AND is read-only, when the form is submitted and hits a validation error, the value of the radio group is lost.
For example, the radio group SUBMITTED_FOR_APPROVAL is set to Y and is read-only for a given user. That user then changes something else on the form and submits it. However, the form now hits a validation error for some field. When the form reloads with the validation error displayed, all the fields are restored except the read-only radio group which is now blank. If a select list is used with the identical read-only condition, it works fine. Likewise, if a radio group is used, but the read-only condition is removed, it works fine. It is only when it is a radio group and it is read-only, that the value does not appear to be submitted to the session with all the form values whent he form is submitted.
Is this a bug or am I simply missing something?

I imported a 17' MiniDV piece into iMovie and it's lost synch. How can that be? I have done no editing, I just want to make it into a DVD.

Hi
Do You mean miniDV tape (interlaced video PAL or NTSC) ?
If so - iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools of Choise if You want a DVD as result - They all discards every second line resulting in less quality.
Sync. Problem - If miniDV tape - How was it recorded -
Audio mode - Is Camera set to record in 12-bit 32kHz - Should be 16-bit 48kHz
Recording mode - SP (60 min on a 60 min tape) or LP (90 min on 60 min tape)
If LP-mode - Then You need - Same Camera as recorded - tolerances is to small even for a Camera of same brand and type to play-back.
I would use FinalCut Express and a setting of PAL/N TSC and 32kHz audio if Camera is set to record in 12-bit
If LP-mode - iMovie HD6 is more tolerant in Captuing than FinalCut and Imediatly after Import/Capture - Extract Audio
And set iM HD6 to NOT IMPORT AS INDIVIDUAL Clips - to many drop outs to work.

Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

Can you create a custom dvd menu with Premiere Elements 12?

I am giving this software a trial before deciding whether to buy. Is it possible to create your own custom DVD menu? I understand that you can "download" a template and customize it to some extent. But the customizing does not seem to allow you to delete or add elements, like graphics or menu buttons. I want to be able to delete graphics/menu buttons I don't want, as well as add or subtract buttons as I need for each project. Or, I would like to create a menu from scratch.
Is either method possible in Premiere Elements? Thank you for any assistance.

Kanten
Thanks for the reply.
You can go with a one main menu set up and use main menu buttons. But, note that there are typically far less buttons on the main menu than on the scene menu. One maneuver is to switch the main menu with the scene menu to gain a buttons per page advantage. That is done by reversing the file names of the main menu .psd and scene menu .psd.
At the editing of the .psd level, there is also the choice to add more buttons per page to a scene menu and create text or thumbnail scene buttons.
One of the principles to keep in mind...no one movie in a multi movie Timeline can have its own Scene Menu page.
Of concern....you should have more flexibility than
In any case, I have discovered that I can edit the templates and then bring them into my project. So long as I save them as the same name, Adobe Premiere Elements doesn't realize that anything has changed.
Are you following any one of my blog posts. If so, please let me know which one so I can focus in where you may be overlooking some detail. It is best to work with copies of the original and place them in appropriate folders in the directory structure. In doing that I give the user created menu a new name to distinguish it from the original.
And, in versions 11 and 12, I do not like to save user modified menus in the Online Folder. I prefer the location where the disc menu installed with the program is located. See blog posts.
If your customization does not require the opening of Layer Sets in the Layers Palette of the .psd file (happens under certain plans), Photoshop Elements can do the .psd edit job for you, and you do not have to go to Photoshop CS or higher. There are Photoshop actions that might be used in Photoshop Elements to open Photoshop Layer Sets (as found in the disc menu .psd files), but I will not get into that right now.
Please review and consider. And, then we can go into more details.
Thanks.

How can I link to a chapter in iBooks Author? I just want a link to the chapter, not to a bookmark

How can I link to a chapter in iBooks Author? I just want a link to the chapter, not to a bookmark.
But something like: "This was explained in Chapter 5." Where "Chapter 5" is a clickable hyperlink.
Also, when I add a new chapter before chapter 5 this should automatically change to:
"This was explained in Chapter 6."
I could use a bookmark (e.g. to the first word in Chapter 5) but this would be not right.

Use "Link to: A file" in the link inspector.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

Can I create a custom DVD menu in Premiere Pro 2.0?

I like the templates I have, but is there a way I can create a custom DVD menu in PP 2.0?

I would also suggest using the same general naming conventions for your Main and Scene Selection Menus. Names, like this: NTSC_abstract_s_mm.psd and NTSC_abstract_s_sm.psd. In this case, I would change the word "abstract" to indicate your Project, or similar.
Also, in PrPro 2.0, your Menus will be in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0\DVD Templates\[Your New Folder].
Good luck,

Edit, read only, disable, blur items. Which to use?

I've searched the forum and have found some threads that somewhat discuss my question, but none have addressed it specifically.
I have a page that has 20 or so items on it. There are 3 fields (like status) that determine which items may be edited, so whether these items may be edited or not will change from row to row.
As I've stated I've searched on the words disable, etc. and have some ideas on how to best handle this process. For one, I don't want to use disable. But, I'm new to ApEx and don't know the best route to take. Should I use the ReadOnly setting on the item and code using PL/SQL? Or, should I handle it in JavaScript and check the status, etc. there and blur the item?
I want to do this the best way, because I want all of our future apps to use the same concept. And, I want to use a concept that will run efficiently.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Tony

I have done this several different ways and have found that it has been best to utlilize pl/sql from the Read-Only using "pl/sql function body returning a boolean". From the read-only, we call a package that handles all the READ-ONLY checks (we put the call into every field by default).<br><br>
Then all we have to do is pass in the current page number and the userID and the package determines whether or not that user is credentialed to view the items on the page item by item.<br><br>
For your example, you could pass the values of the fields on the screen and get your boolean result back for read-only. The advantage to the pl/sql returning boolean is that you can impact the whole application by changing the package that does the credential checking, as opposed to creating and editing page specific javascript for all pages where you want to protect fields.
