Reference point locater missing, x and y always zero

Hey,
I don't know how it happened, but it sure did and its making me crazy! My reference point locater is nonfunctioning. The x and y axis points are always zero. Knowing what happened would be fine but knowing how to fix it would be a miracle! Anybody?

Cindy,
One of the first things to try is to Move the folder, see instructions and explanations here: http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html

Unable to change reference point location while using the Transform Functions in Photoshop Elements 6.0.

Unable to change reference point location while using the Transform Functions in Photoshop Elements 6.0.

Which operating system are you using?
In photoshop elements 6, as far as i know, you can only change the Reference Point Location for transforms using the small grid in the left hand corner of the tool options bar with Transform enabled.

AppleScript to change artboard reference point? CS5

Hi,
I'm very new to scripting - just stumbled across it as I was researching tools to tackle an extremely repetitive project. One of the functions I should very much like to automate is changing the artboard reference point to top-left and then set the x and y values to 0. Is this possible? I couldn't seem to get it to record or insert into an action.
Thank you so much in advance!

@Mark – and here an overview of all available options:
AnchorPoint.BOTTOM_CENTER_ANCHOR
The center point on the bottom of the bounding box.
AnchorPoint.BOTTOM_LEFT_ANCHOR
The bottom left corner.
AnchorPoint.BOTTOM_RIGHT_ANCHOR
The bottom right corner.
AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR
The center point in the bounding box.
AnchorPoint.LEFT_CENTER_ANCHOR
The center point on the left side of the bounding box.
AnchorPoint.RIGHT_CENTER_ANCHOR
The center point on the right side of the bounding box.
AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR
The center point on the top of the bounding box.
AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR
The top left corner.
AnchorPoint.TOP_RIGHT_ANCHOR

Can I create a keyboard shortcut to change the reference point? (Mac CS6)

I'm forever changing the reference point during a job and the tiny squares are a nightmare (my eyes aren't what they used to be), a shortcut to change it from the centre to top left would be great.
Cheers
Mark.

Missing photo and "attempt to perform arithmetic" error

Hi y'all
This is informational for y'all.
I've been using Lightroom since the beginning of march and have about 4500 photos in my library. Photos are pentax raw files (*.pef). My machine is a windows XP pro Toshiba laptop and XP is fully updated. I've started having a couple of problems which I believe may be related. I've searched the usual places but haven't been able to find any answers.
1) I have one photo that doesn't display in any of the views (library - grid and zoomed, develop and slideshow). It displays as a blank space in all views. It becomes visible in grid view with my develop changes (I made it grayscale) if I scroll to where it is when it is off the page but disappears again as soon as I let go of the scroll bar. If I try to reimport it I get a message that it is already in the database.
2) If I continue to to try and access it I start getting the following error in a pop up box:
?:0 attempt to perform arithmetic on field ? (a nil value)
once that starts occurring I can cancel the popup but then it starts to appear everytime I try and do anything (flag or rate a photo, access a menu etc) and can only be made to go away if I close Lightroom using task manager and then restart it.
The photo is stored on an external disk and the actual pef file appears to be fine. I can open it successfully using rawshooter.
I transfered the files to my external disk when using the beta and did so manually outside of lightroom and then used the locate missing files and folders function to relink it. It has what looks like a valid xmp file and all other photos in the shoot appear fine.
I eventually managed to bring the photo back by deleting the folder from the lightroom library (but not from the disk!) and reimporting it. As xmp files were present all changes and ratings were correct when I reimported.
Hope that helps someone else!
cheers

It sounds like you might have a corrupted preset.
Here's something you could try:
Go to your Preferences/Presets tab and push the Show Lightroom Presets Folder button.
Then close Lightroom and temporarily rename that folder. If the problem goes away, one of your presets is bad. Otherwise name the folder back to what it was and let us know what happened.

HELP! Imported ALL Pictures and Now LR points to missing files that are in LR!

HI! This is my first post and I think I've made a big boo boo. In order to better organize my photos, I consolidated my pictures by year in My Pictures. Each subfolder is marked yyyymmdd. In the process of doing this I have now imported all my photos to LR. Usually, I just import the ones that I want to edit. Now, LR points to missing or offline files. When I try to find them, I get the message this folder already exists in LR.
How can I redirect these files to their new location AND keep the LR adjustments. I definately don't want to loose the adjustments I've made. If we were only talking about a few pictures, I could copy down the adjustments in the history and reapply them one by one. I've even tried copy and paste the adjustments to the file in the new location. I've tried syching folders and that just deletes the missing photo and does NOT apply the lightroom adjustments to the original photos in the new folder form the mass import.
I'm sure there has to be a way! PLEASE HELP SAVE MY SANITY!!
THanks in advance!
Christie

You may have to do this image by image, depending on how you moved them- in Explorer or Finder? And, I presume, after they were imported?
As you can see, moving files, once imported into LR, should be done by LR......

Missing Files and Locating Bug

Hi,
In LR2, if I relocated a folder of files/photos, for example move them from a primary hard drive (on my macbook) to an external hard drive, the catalogue would indicate missing files with a '?' icon in the top right hand corner of the file.
To re-locate these files was simple, right click on the missing file and for OSX simply click 'show in finder' and find the missing file in it's new location.
Then all missing files from that particular folder would all be systematically found.
In LR3 the above process has no effect. If I try to relocate a missing file nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Tomas

A little spookie, just before I noticed your post I tried the 'Find Missing Folder' option in the folder tab in the library module and that worked fine.
Clicking the '?' icon or right clicking and selecting 'Show in Finder' still has no effect though. In LR2 this never failed.
Thanks very much for such a fast response

Everything on my desktop disappeared. i tried using the finder to locate specific files and they are missing. Help!

i'm using a macbook pro retina, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB. operating OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
everything on my desktop disappeared. i've managed to make my HD reappear on my desktop but my files etc are nowhere to be found. i tried using the finder to locate specific files and they are missing. Help! I foolishly filled up my desktop with piles of screen grabs and folders - no doubt that was the cause... what do i do, aside from punish myself for being so stupid?

Set reference point in objects and measure distance

1) How can I set the reference point in objects?
for example:
        a) exactly in the center of a pad or a via
        b) exactly in any corner of the board outline
2) How can I measure the distance of two points with the maximum accuracy?
  for example:
        a) measure the distance between two pads or via
        b) measure the lenght of a line

dear Semaphore, thanx for your response.
I already use the ways that you refer me, but like this I can't measure with accuracy, or setting the zero reference is not guarantee that I set it exactly in the center of via or pad.
With grid seted in smallest option is difficult to target the center of a pad, and also is difficult to target the point in the edje of a line with accuracy. With ruler I also have the same problem, I cant be sure that the ruler is pointing exactly to the center of a via or pad.
That I need is a kind of a snap option to attach the mouse-cursor exactly in the center of an object, that can help me to target exactly in the center and have an accurate measurement or accurate set the zero reference without mistake.
Any other suggestion for accurate measurements?

My iphone is missing (lost) and dead and it cannot be located because it is offline. Is there anyway to get it online remotely?

My iphone is missing (lost) and dead (no battery life and needs to be rechaged) We are in the process of moving but I am terrified and canot locate through icloud as it is saying it is offline.
Is there any way at all that i can access it remotely and change the offline to "online" only for a few seconds even so that it can become online again, long enough to play the music that i can find it.
Thank you for your time and consideration in answering my question

Tricia453 - I can understand you really want to find your lost iPhone. But, this is your third post today asking the exact same question. I'm sorry, but the answer is not going to change no matter how many times you re-post it.
Without the phone being powered on, and connected to a wifi or a cellular data connection there is no way to track it remotely or do anything at all remotely to it. Remote commands and remote tracking require a data connection, which requires your phone be powered on. There is nothing you can do to find it remotely, nothing at all.

Retreiving Point location with JTable row and column

If I have the row and column in a JTable (in a JPanel), how do I get the Point location offset from the location Point of the JTable or JPanel ?

I think that this may do it.
Point objPoint = new Point( objTable_.getLocation() );
int intRow = objTable_.getSelectedRow();
int intColumn = objTable_.getSelectedColumn();
int intColumnWidth = objTable_.getColumnModel().getColumn( intColumn ).getWidth();
int intColumnMargin = objTable_.getColumnModel().getColumnMargin();
int x = (int) objPoint.getX() + ( (intColumn+1) * intColumnWidth) );
// perhaps * (intColumnWidth + intColumnMargin)
int y = (int) objPoint.getY() + ( (intRow+1) * objTable_.getRowHeight());
// perhaps * (objTable_.getRowHeight() + objTable_.getRowMargin())

Why is there no control to turn off location services? I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.0.1. I now have no control over location services. Will it always be on and only activate if an application requires it?

Currently Being Moderated Re: iPhone 4 / iOS 4 - Location Services Always On
Nov 20, 2010 10:25 PM (in response to modular747)
so i actually ended up walking into genius bar today. they couldn't figure out which program was causing the glitch either, but the way they solved it was by resetting all the location service permissions altogether. for those of you who want to know how to do this, navigate to "settings > general > reset > reset location warnings". also fyi, the apple service rep told me the purple location service icon next to each app simply signifies that particular app has requested your location within the past 24 hours, not necessarily that the app is active. hope this helps those with the same problem as i had. iPhone 4, iOS 4
I will mention that I did not have the problem until I downloaded the new googlemaps, which I have deleted off my iphone.

I have areas of my iPad screen that does not respond to touch. Is that normal? The area is random and not always the same location. How can I fix?

How do I keep the Reference Point setting at top, left

The nine-by-nine grid in the top left corner (where the vertical and horizontal rulers meet) won't stay selected as the top left setting depending on what I select in my document. Sometimes it's the top left, sometimes it's the bottom right and sometimes it's the top middle. How can I set it so that every box I select in a document will give me the top left reference point (X-Y coordinate)?
I'm proofing a document to make sure it's set-up correctly and all the page-heading colored boxes are starting at the same X-Y coordinate, have the same width and the next box down on the page starts at the proper location. None of these boxes were created on a master page so I have to check each one. (And even if they were, they've all been released from the master to change their colors and place images.) In other words, on one page there is a colored box across the top that is 10p6 high, so the next box down (vertically) needs to start at the X-Y coordinate of 0, 10p6. But when I click on it the reference point is not always at the top left. So I click on the box, then click on the top left reference point, check the X-Y location and height of the box, then click on the next box down the page and click on the top left reference point and compare the X-Y location to the previous box's height.
I have selected the top left reference point with no documents open to set that as my default preference but I didn't create this document.

@Peter / @FergyMac – in case of rotated objects the reference point will change from object to object.

Doing absolute move using center reference point

I want to place a large number of images of varying aspect ratio using the center reference point at the same point in each page. I have played with move and it appears to always use the top left point. My interpretation of the documentation suggests that I would get the same results with transform.
I realize that I could do the calculations to do the move but am hoping I am missing something and there is a much simpler way to do it.
Thanks in advance
Jerry

csm_phil: Your English is quite confusing. Please remember to end sentences with periods. I assume you meant to say:
I don't know why you wrote "Bad for performance, bad for idempotency, and bad philosophically" when this method is working. If its working, what is the problem? Can you please explain.
(I'm still not sure what you meant by "i want to change the your mehtods.")
Because something is working does not mean it is right.
Because something is working does not mean it is good.
It may cause problems in the future. Or it may have side effects.
I wrote four things:
Using the selection is a bad idea. This is well-accepted by experienced scripters. Scripts should avoid using the selection wherever possible. But why? I tried to explain in brief:
Bad for performance: Interacting with the selection is slower. InDesign has to deal with updating the display and the UI when the selection is involved, when it would not otherwise have to do so. Anytime you interact with the selection your script will be slower. That slowness may not matter most of the time, such as when you are donly doing something once.
Bad for idempotency: When you change the selection, it becomes difficult to repeat your work, and you do not leave the state of the program as you found it. If something else is depending on the selection, then you will screw that up. It is like changing a global variable. The best solution is not to change it, but to use a local variable instead. As a workaround, you can save the old value of the selection, perform your work, and then restore the selection. But that is imperfect. What if your code is running in an event handler? What if two pieces of code that use the selection are running in parallel? What if there are thread concurrency issue? Probably not the case in CS5.5, but what about CS7?
Bad philosophically: This one is harder to explain. I think it really boils down to, if your script is not affecting the user interface, it should not alter portions of the user interface. The selection should be considered out-of-bounds for most scripts. This is really a restatement of the previous claims, especially "bad idea," so maybe it does not count on its own. But I repeat it because it is worth repeating.
If you're really careful, using the selection can work. But much of the time it causes problems, either in the present or in the future. It is good to avoid problems where feasible.
I hope this post helps you to understand what I meant.
