Renaming a layer without touching mouse?

When exporting files from Illustrator, I get a ton of layers named <path> and <group>. I want to quickly rename these layers in Photoshop.
I'm using Alt-[ & -] to move up and down my Layer palette, but I haven't figured how to change a layer name other than double-clicking on the name (which takes a hand off the keyboard). Is there any way to rename a layer by using the keyboard only?

Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.
The "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types.  The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

  • How is someone able to pair their Arc Touch Mouse with my Macbook Pro?

    I had this happen a few times now and it's both annoying me and scaring me at the same time.  I am sitting in my office working away and then all the sudden, my mouse starts moving around randomly. I quickly go up to the Bluetooth menu, and I see there is an Arc Touch Mouse paired with my computer! It is bold in the menu.  I quickly hit Disconnect on the device and it goes away.  Then a few minutes later, it shows up again and they take control of my mouse.  I opened up the Bluetooth preferences, and I see the device there too.  I removed it from there.  Then a few min later, it happens again!  I finally turned off bluetooth.  Then in the bluetooth preferences, I see 4 Arc Touch Mice that are paired with my computer.  I can't remove them without turning bluetooth.  So I waited a bit and turned it back and removed them.  It's been ok since then for a while now, but HOW IS SOMEONE ABLE TO PAIR THEIR MOUSE WITH MY COMPUTER?  This seems like a HUGE security issue.  What else can someone attach to my computer via bluetooth with no interaction from me?  Please help!
    I'm running 10.10.3 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012).  And I use a Magic Trackpad, so I can't just leave bluetooth turned off...

    I am not familiar with the third party mouse, so I do not have any idea how that could happen. The devices need to be close (30 feet/10 meters) to your computer. The devices must (somehow) be discoverable to your computer.

  • Why does the curser move across desktop without touching the track pad?

    The curser has started to move across the screen without touching the track pad. There's no mouse connected. All networking connections are turned off. As the curser moves across the desktop, it opens new folders??? It will open as many as a dozen new folders before it stops at the left side of the screen and wouldn't you know it, the warranty expired last month! Any help to figure out a fix would be appreciated.

  • Excel - Modify rows without touching other data (have gone thru LV report generation 4 designs)

    File attached....
    Have gone thru FAQs and examples. (And also 4 parts of 'Creating a Report in Microsoft Excel Using the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit'. Unfortunately this document is not clear enough for me.)
    Have task of modifying rows of the same excel sheet, number of times without touching data  already present (numbers and strings)
    I have an excel file. (attached)
    A test will be run N number of times.  (N<=17)

    SubTask 2  --> Each time it runs, a 1D array data also will be placed in the same row (but in different cells)
    SubTask 3 --> The number 'n' of the row (where to place the current iteration's data) needs to be determined on fly (by looking at "n-1"st non blank row)
    The same file needs to be used.

  • Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

    Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

    Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
    The trick is finding what data.
    By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
    Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
    Back up the system first of course,
    Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem.

  • Wi-fi touch mouse x7000 will not stay paired on Windows 7 home premium 64-bit

    Product: HP wi-fi touch mouse x7000
    Computer: HP Envy sleekbook/ultrabook 6t 1000
    O/S: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Wifi type: Intel 802.11b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth + WIDI
    Error message: none when attempting to pair
    I received my HP Envy 6t two days ago and have started the process of loading software and devices.  In addition to ordering the PC from hp.com, I also ordered the HP Wi-fi touch mouse x7000.  After booting up the PC for the first time and walking through the Windows 7 set-up, I immediately installed the wi-fi mouse. 
    Upon initial install of the mouse with the provided install CD, I received an error message stating that one of the drivers was not digitally signed and that the version of windows installed did not support unsigned drivers and that the installed device may not work because the driver would not be used.  I continued forward with the install and the mouse seemed to be in working order.  I then decided to go out to the HP support website and download the latest Windows 7 64-bit driver for the mouse I had.  I then ran through the install and the mouse still continued to work.  At this point I had not yet rebooted the PC.
    I then performed the following steps in the listed order:
    - Installed HP Photosmart 4700 series printer with provided install CD and established a connection via wi-fi
    - Installed MS Office 2010 SP1
    - Started download of automatically identified Windows Updates that were related to the O/S and other installed Microsoft software
    - In parallel with the Windows updates download, I installed the latest release of Symantec's Anti-Virus software and updated its software and virus definitions, this all finished prior to the Windows Updates being completely downloaded.  I left the default settings as is for the Symantec Anti-Virus configuration.
    - The Windows Updates then installed
    - Rebooted the PC
    After the reboot of the PC was completed, the mouse would not pair at all.  I attempted several times where I would go into the HP mouse control and select configuration and then pairing.  I would follow the instructions of pressing the connect button and the screen would then say it paired, but the O/S would not recognize it and the mouse would not move.  Going back into the mouse control center it then also recognized it was not paired.
    I then attempted to uninstall the mouse software and it would get to the point where it was "gathering information" and it showed a full status bar yet it just hung there.  I would wait for 15 minutes and then hit cancel and it would still just hang there yet again.  After 15 additional minutes of canceling I would just reboot the PC for which the mouse software was still installed but the mouse continued not to pair.  I tried the uninstall process 3 times, each with a PC reboot as part of the process because it would just hang.
    I am not sure if the install CD installs a 32-bit version of the mouse software and drivers.  If so, perhaps I confused the registration of the product by installing the 64-bit driver I downloaded from HP support.  I have attempted to install both the 64-bit driver and the 32-bit driver for Windows 7 that I downloaded from HP Support online in which the execution of the installation is successful with no errors.  However the pairing continues not to work and the uninstall hangs.
    In addition, after the PC bounce, my HP printer was no longer being recognized.  Come to find out Symantec is blocking communication of the PC to the router and thus to the printer.  So I disbled Symantec and the printer now works but the mouse still does not.  I even rebooted the PC after disabling Symantec and attempted to pair, with Symantec still disabled after reboot, then attempted mouse driver re-installs, mouse software uninstalls and still no luck.
    So I am at the point where I cannot uninstall the mouse via conventional means and the wi-fi mouse will not pair manually or automatically.
    I have not yet circled back to performing another Winows Update check to see if there are any additional updates after the intial download of the ones mentioned earlier.  I will plan to do that next time I am on the PC.
    Any suggestions?

  • How do you copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse?

    Pointing, clicking, and getting around
    When you move your mouse or finger on a trackpad, you control a pointer (also known as a cursor) that moves across your screen. The pointer allows you to select and interact with the various items on your screen, including selecting files, clicking buttons, dragging sliders, and so on. Sometimes the pointer may look like a hand, a crosshair, an I-beam, or another icon, depending on what you're doing and the application you're using.
    For example, if you're using Safari to view this webpage and move the pointer across it, notice that it turns into an I-beam when you move it over text or a text field. When you see this, you can usually interact with the text or field below it. When you move the pointer over a button or link, the pointer turns into a hand, letting you know that you can click on the item.
    Depending on what you're doing and what application you're using, your pointer (far left) may change appearances
    Clicking your mouse button or trackpad button once allows you to select the item that your pointer is on. In other words, if your pointer is on a file's icon, clicking once will select it. If the pointer is on a button or link, clicking once will activate it. If your pointer is on a text field, clicking once highlights the field and allows you to start typing text in it.
    If you want to open a file, folder, or application, click your mouse button or trackpad twice. This is known as double-clicking. In general, you'll need to double-click items if you want to open them from a Finder window or the desktop. The exception to this is opening stuff from the Dock—just click once on an icon in the Dock to open it.

  • Logitech Touch Mouse App won't work or display cursor on a iOS device running RD Client App

    is missing. It appears the cursor image was blocked by the RDC.
    It would be very helpfull for the RDC running on a iOS device to support this type of WiFi mouse App to enable a physical mouse (through a smart device). I can see many usage models of RD Client with this type of physical mouse feature.

  • How to change the angle of a gradient layer without changing anything else?

    How to change the angle of a gradient layer without changing anything else?
    When I try it myself my whole gradient turns black.

    To add to the above, you can not just set the angle. If you want to use other existing settings you need to get them from the layer. The code in that other thread shows one way to get them.
    But if you do not need the existing values for any other reason you can get the descriptor for the layer, make a duplicate of it with all the settings and just overwrite the ones you want to change.
    This is one way to just change the angle while keeping the other existing settings.
    // helper function for working with descriptors
    function getProperty( psClass, psKey, index ){// integer:Class, integer:key

  • Customize interface without touching the source code

    My VP of of marketing is at it again. I have pasted in the exact email that he sent me. If anyone has ideas or suggestions or knows if Forms 9i has this built-in capability, please let me know.
    Thanks.
    Can you post this on metalink and see if someone at Oracle (or elsewhere) has an answer for us? Somehow, other LIMS developers are distributing LIMS products that allow their users to customize the interface without touching the source code -- no impact on their ability to take new releases. How do they do that?
    Here's my question:
    Anyone familiar with the Tools / Forms / Design this Form feature in MS Outlook? This allows a mere mortal to actually create and publish a custom Outlook form (could be a Contact, Task, Note, Journal, etc. form) across the organization. Is there such a capability built into Oracle9i Forms? In other words, can a developer easily build and distribute an Oracle software app such that the end-user can use an administrative tool to modify the interface/forms, add fields, change field names, move things around on the form, change colors, etc. -- without needing the Oracle Developer tool used by the original software developer, along with source code?
    Here's my original email from a few months ago:
    Our VP of marketing has been on my case about the ability to allow customers to "map" a form label (prompt) to a "custom" label of their choosing. The only way I know to do this is to create a "mapping" table and each time a form opens have code in the Post-Query trigger that changes the prompt of each column to the label that is in the "mapper" table. My fear here is Performance. Also, if the user closes that form and comes back to it - that logic has to be executed again - once again Performance. We have thought about the global variable idea, but we have over 100 tables with approx. 20 columns each. That's alot of globals to carry around. What's the overhead of carring around let's say 150 global variables?
    My questions to all of you are:
    1) Is anyone else doing this exact thing?
    2) If so, what is the performance hit?
    3) Is there a way to "remember" after the first time it paints - until the application is closed (not just that form) - other than global variables?
    4) Is there a solution already in place within Forms for this?
    5) Is there newer technology that has overcome this problem?
    My VP doesn't like the mapping idea. He wants to know isn't there a better way instead of mapping all the fields. Isn't there some simple utility provided by Oracle that allows the user to simply change the form labels (no, he's not talking about Oracle Developer). He is a real Outlook nut. So he's always comparing everything to how Outlook works. This is how it works in Outlook -- you click on Design Form, modify it, then install it on the machine. Surely Oracle must have something like this. He thinks we're asking the wrong question or not asking it in the right way. I'm not sure how else to ask it. Our users want to see "Date of Birth" spelled out instead of "DOB" as the label for a column on a form. Is there a way for them to take the fmx and change that label? Is there a better way other than storing this in a table and querying it up each time the form opens? Yes, I could use a global so I don't have to query it from the database every time, but I still have to evaluate every time the form is opened during that session to see which label I need to use and then set the prompt accordingly. Our VP doesn't like this, he wants this to be a one time change.
    Thanks so much for you help,
    Tina

    Hmmm.... either your VP of marketing or the users have too much time on their hands. ;-)
    I would go with a lookup table. If your database is responsive and you index the table by form name, you can retrieve a number of rows and setup the screen quickly enough that nobody would notice any time lag.
    If there aren't too many titles stored in the form, you could use a PLL library procedure and stuff all of them into a few globals -- just stack them into a single string separated by an odd character, like maybe chr(3). Then when the form is called again, it could first check to see if the globals exist, and parse the titles from there.
    But be careful about changing field titles. If they change DOB to Date of Birth, the length changes, and so you need to determine where the extra length goes. The title field must be wide enough and the text justification should be set properly.

  • Why does the mouse cursor move to away from the currrent application without the mouse being moved

    the mouse cursor moves away from the current application without the mouse having been moved - this started with the new version - re-installing Firefox makes the problem go away for a short period - re-installing is not a solution
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a few days after installing 3.6.3

    Hello Jim.
    It's probably one of three things:
    #your mouse is getting old (this behavior is common in old optical mouses);
    #you have software that is making your mouse cursor behave unexpectedly (I know of an option in Windows that will automatically move your mouse to windows buttons...);
    #or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • After a few minutes on certain websites, firefox stops drawing new frames without a mouse movement to force a redraw

    After having certain pages open for between 5-15 minutes (at the most) such as youtube, facebook, or myspace (these are the sites that consistently cause it, but are not limited to them.) The browser no longer draws new frames without the mouse being moved and calling the draw function through it.
    The issue started a month or two ago. There had been no new plugins or add-ons installed for at least another month prior.
    The closing X in the top right also becomes non responsive (though it will light up.) The browser can be closed through the right click menu in the task bar, along with the closing X in the thumbnail preview.
    Program and window completely freeze when attempting to move the window for around 10 seconds, then move to the location designated.

    I'm not sure, but I assume what you're indicating is that you're getting
    back literally "<B>Back</B>" in the rendered browser text (meaning the HTML
    source is "<B&rt;Back</B&rt;"). If so, it's because you need to set
    the "escape" attribute to false for the text field:
    <jato:text name="FooText" escape="false"/>

  • Control mouse pointer without the mouse

    Hello,
    My Mac Mini seems to no longer recognize my mouse. It has been fine for nearly a year though. Both the mouse and keyboard are wireless. The pointer does not move when I move the mouse, but when I press the return button on the keyboard the computer does wake from sleep mode. I don't know how to control the pointer without the mouse though.
    The issues seem to have started when my new version of iTunes seemed to start acting up. The bar at the top of the screen shows that it thinks it is still in iTunes. The computer has been manually turned off and restarted and still comes up the same way, with the mouse pointer in the same spot.
    Does anybody know what the issue may be and also how I can control the pointer without the mouse? I apologize for the lack of knowledge as I'm used to a pc and do not know the keyboard controls on a Mac. Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You should always have an inexpensive USB mouse and keyboard for times such as this. After you have gotten a USB mouse, you can get one at Target for US$10, drag & drop the iTunes app into the Trash. Restart your Mac and while you are at it do a PRAM reset. Then download iTunes from this link and reinstall. Hopefully this will resolve your issues.

    Reset the PRAM
    • (Re)start the computer
    • Immediately press & hold the CommandOption+PR keys
    • Wait for two startup chimes
    • Release the keys and allow the computer to boot.
    Also, do you ever repair the disk permissions on your Mac? To repair the disk permissions open Disk Utility in the Apps/Utilities folder. Highlight your startup drive in the list on the left with one mouse click. In the right pane press Repair Permissions. Wait for it to finish.
