Right-Click to Select Layers

I usually right click to select an object in my workspace. When there are groups however they show up in the context menu no matter where I click. When working on something with ~15-30 groups this can be very frustrating.
Is there a way to make groups not show up when I right click?

This has happened to me a few times. And every time I forget what I did to fix it... lol
BUT...
I figured out that I was in Quick Mask Mode for some reason.... (hitting 'Q' on the keyboard gets you there.)
Hitting 'Q' again to get out of the mode and suddenly... right-click with the Move Tool works again!!!
btw, deleting the preferences does nothing to remedy this. Apparently being in Quick Mask Mode is not affected by preferences and stays selected even when you quick the program.

  • Itunes 10.6.1.7 problem: when I change the file "media type" from 'Music' to 'Podcast' the file disapears from ITUNES. I do this via (1) right click, (2) select 'Get Info', (3) select 'options' tab, and (4) change media type. What is the problem?

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • Right-click Flash selection of webcams no longer works. Bug?

    After some tense struggles and several failed webcam swaps, our support team discoverd that using right-click to select a webcam no longer works after our hosted service's recent upgrade. Is this necessary, or a bug?

    Yes, the menu driven webcam selection process works fine. It's just the old way to select webcam source that no longer works. The worst part is there's no indication that the selection process that has always worked no longer works. Hence my technican swapping webcams, assuming they aren't working.

  • I can't get a new tab to open, either by pressing the + sign, going to file new tab or by right clicking and selecting new tab. What's the problem?

    I can't get a new tab to open. I've tried pressing the + sign, going to file-new tab and by right clicking and selecting new tab. Why won't a new tab open?

    Try "Ctrl+T" for a new tab.

  • Right click and select "Get Info" is SOO SLOW

    Whenever I try to edit any of my songs or videos by right clicking and selecting "Get Info" it takes eons before the popup window appears. I am accessing my library on a secondary internal WD Caviar SE16 SATA 500gb drive. My 7yr old PC was somewhat slow, but this is ridiculous.

    Are you running the latest version of iTunes? Is this a recent thing that's happened?

  • HT1766 under how to restore it says right click then select restore.  I only get eject as an option why

    under how to restore it says right click then select restore.  I only get eject Why?

    The devices that are listed are: 2 under the name of the device that synced incorrectly with mine and then 3 others that are not associated with my itouch. The name of the ipod, before the incorrect sycning is no longer under devices.  It has been replaced with the incorrect one because I can see the serial # of my ipod under the wrong name.
    The playlists that are in my itunes library are from an ipod that I used a few times before I took this one over... Which happens to be the ipod that took on the ID of my itouch.
    Both of these ipods used to be my kids.. I used my sons a few times and then switched to my daughters.  They each had their names attachted to their particular devices and now it just says my sons, which is the ipod that itunes was connecting to when all this happened. The really strange thing is my son doesnt use his ipod any longer and now uses his phone for music...So, it had been a while since that particular device was even synced to itunes!
    I hope this helps!

  • Right click not selecting layer

    I have been using a trial version of Photoshop CS5 and have noticed that when I right click on a layer, the list of layers comes up like usual, but the actual layer i am on is not selected. Is this a bug of CS5? This gets rather annoying when you have a lot of layers and would like to get directed on the layer pallet just by clicking on the layer on the stage. Has anyone else found this a problem?

    the list of layers comes up like usual, but the actual layer i am on is not selected.
    … makes no sense. Or means something different to what you intended. As a guess try these…
    • Upgrade your trial to 12.0.1.
    • As C… suggests, Command clicking with the Move Tool auto-selects any layer you click on. There is also an option in the move tool called "auto select'  that you can change, which toggles this behavior.

  • When downloading a file, if I right-click and select new the submenu is not displayed

    I have Firefox 12 installed; running XP SP3. Options/General/Always ask me where to save files is selected. If I download a file and select save file, I will get a save file to dialog. If I right-click in the dialog and select new, there is no submenu displayed. As a consequence, I cannot create a new folder in which to save the selected file. New will simply try to create a shortcut.

    That Save As dialog that you see is part of Windows Explorer, including the contextual menu including "New". So, this sounds more like you may have a problem at a more fundamental operating system level, because Firefox (as far as I know) doesn't do anything, or even can, modify the content of the context menus of an Explorer window.
    Could you provide a screenshot of what you see to make sure we're talking about the same thing here? Thanks!

  • Floating menus suck! We should be able to right click to select tools, menus...

    Could you please improve Illustrator so that users can access all of the tools using the right click or middle click button (like in Maya)? It is SO much easier. Floating menus are annoying and get in the way. All tools and menus should be accessable with the mouse. This should also apply to things like the layers menu. I should be able to right click on a layer and access the layers submenu, so that I can do simple things like deleting a layer without having to drag it to the trash. Adobe really needs to take better advantage of the multi-button mouse. Speaking of which, when will somebody finally invent a 5 button mouse? If I can use all 5 fingers to type, it makes sense that I should be able to use all 5 to give greater power to my mouse.
    And another thing, why can't I go to document setup to see what size my document is anymore? The new artboard features are a fine option, but most of the time I build a file at one size and therefore should be able to simple go to document setup to see what that size is.

    Sounds to me like Microsoft logic: If two buttons are good, ten must be great!
    No thank you. You can buy a 5-button (plus wheel…What a deal!) Microsoft mouse at any Office Depot. I have two of them turned off because they were eternally in my way. (I didn't buy the thing for a kazillion buttons; I bought it for its optical accuracy.)
    But you can throw buttons at a pointing device all day long; that doesn't mean the software you use will support them the way you describe. I quite agree that Illustrator's use of cursor menus is substandard compared to most applications.

  • Right-click to select "Back" works but is accompanied by error sound

    Anyone know if Is this a known issue: In Safari (v4 Public Beta, Build 5528.17), every time I right-click and then select Back, the previous page is returned, but I get an error sound as the menu is drawn. This appears to be new with the new Beta and began occurring after installation of the initial download (an earlier build). It also happens using the trackpad.
    I'm using a third-party Logitech mouse with OS X drivers, and the buttons are set correctly. I cannot account for the behavior. It's very annoying. An older, now archived post indicated that the behavior was also noticed using Apple mice.
    Any clues?

    Hi,
    There's a chance it could be a faulty contextual menu item that is erroring and causing the sound. Have a look in these 2 folders to see if anything is present, and if so ove them to your Desktop temporarily to disable them. You'll need to quit and restart Safari for it to notice the change:
    Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > Contextual Menu Items
    Hard drive > Library > Contextual Menu Items

  • I can right click to select "check spelling" in e-mails, but how do I change a setting for this to occur automatically? I often don't remember to right click!

    I use the Firefox browser.

    Are you using a Firefox 17 ESR version?
    You can check the update channel in: Help > About
    Please update to the current Firefox release.
    *Help > About Firefox
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/update-firefox-latest-version.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Updating+Firefox
    The Firefox 17 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.
    *It is important to update Firefox and add-ons to the latest version to get all security fixes.
    Note that websites can disable the spelling check via a spellcheck="false" attribute.<br />
    In current releases this will remove Check Spelling in the right-click context menu, but in your old version this will uncheck the box in the right-click context menu.
    You can right-click in the text editor area and use "Inspect Element" to see if this text area has a spellcheck="false" attribute.<br />
    Removing this spellcheck="false" attribute by selecting it via a double-click and using the Delete or Backspace key should make the Check Spelling item in the right-click context menu reappear.

  • Right Click List Selection

    I have a jtable setup to provide right click menu's, however I want to have the row i'm right clicking on to be selected. How would I go about that?
    THanks in advance.

    You can use JTable.rowAtPoint(Point)
    and pass in the mouseEvent.getPoint( ) value to retrieve the current row.
