Rotating wallpaper bug

I have my wallpaper set to change at random every 24 hours, drawing photos from a folder I made. This used to apply to Mission Control so that when I added a new desktop it would appear with a randomly chosen wallpaper. Now, however, one wallpaper either appears with far greater frequency than any other or only one wallpaper is ever chosen.

Add-on: I see what is happening. The random picture works, every hour I get another desktop wallpaper from an IPhoto folder. BUT: every time I restart the MAC, the wallpaper picture is same first picture it always starts with. So the desktop does not remember the last picture it loaded. It just always starts with the same picture like it starts with at the previous reboot.

Rotate image bug

If I add an image in iBooks Author, and then rotate the image, and select a 'shadow' effect, the image displays the way I intended (with the shadow, say on the new bottom edge). When I preview the iBook on the iPad, however, the image displays the shadow on the ORIGINAL bottom edge- ie. now rotated to the left.

As always, if you feel you've found a bug, feel free to use the menu 'iBooks Author/Feedback' to share that info back to the teams.

Re:- iPad wallpaper bug, the set both option seems faulty also?

Has anyone (apart from resize bug)also detected a bug with set both option in wallpaper ?

I have same problem on my iphone 5s ios 8.1

Dynamic Wallpaper bug

So at "system preferences > Desktop and Screensaver" I've set my wallpaper to change everytime it comes out of sleep.
For example, I have wallpaper 1, 2 and 3.
When I close the MBP, I see wallpaper 1. When I open the MBP again, I see wallpaper 1, it fades really quickly to wallpaper 2 and then again quickly fades to wallpaper 3. Then the "change" is complete and it stays at wallpaper 3.
Is it common that it skips one wallpaper in the rotation?

I don't need it in a special rotation, I currently have ticked the "shuffle", but the problem is that when I open the MBP again, I see my old wallpaper, a new one briefly flashes in, followed by another one that stays.
Can anyone recreate this?
Use a folder with several wallpapers, set it to change wallpaper when it comes out of sleep, and see what happens.

Wallpaper bug

My iPod touch 4g has a bug. When I go into settings and wallpaper and select a wallpaper the set screen slides up and three buttons appear at the top of the screen that say: "set home screen" , "set lock screen" ,and " set both". I thought this was a iOS 4.2.1 update until I noticed that after a few seconds the buttons disappear and the normal buttons that say set and cancel don't work. Anyone know what's with this?

Have you try the basic? Restart, reset, restore?

Page Size and Rotated printing Bug

When using the DataMax I4208 printer, I cannot use Crystal Reports 2008 as it will autorotate the text 90 degrees as it sees fit to the label. It is always wrong which causes the font size to be reduced to a super fine font too small for a microscope. If I change the page size from 4.00 x 1.00 to 4.00 x 4.00 it does not rotate it, it just spits out 3 blank labels with the one correct one. I cannot find another way to get Crystal Reports to do wysiwyg.

Hi Pat,
Fix Pack 2.3 was just released also and there are more updates to fix printer issues in there also.
A few other things to check is in the report check off Dissociate Formatting Page... this could be one of you issues. Also, use the latest printer driver. CR is unicode compliant and print drivers nust be aware of this also.
Thank you
Don

AS3 rotation issue/bug need help.

Ok I have been converting a AS2 flash based sight to AS3. With the project I have to make new transitions for the pages. The client wants these transitions to be in 3d, which ive worked with before and have had no problems. However for the last few hours ive had this killer issue that wont go away.
When using rotationZ or rotationX on any element the rotation value is not based on 360 degrease but instead based on a random number. For example I can rotate a box on the stage by 0.03 and it will be ~rotated 180 degrease, but if I do the same rotation on another box on the stage it will go to ~40 degrease.
Im clueless to why this is happing and if I try to duplicate the error in another file it wont happen. So... anyone able to give me a heads up at what may be causing this?
For those asking how im rotating it.
box.rotationY = 45;
box2.rotationY = 90;

Ok... heres the min code for the error to happen my side.
If you need an XML you can make your own to test this using the fallowing structer or just use this.

Video playback issues in Air for Android

Hello everybody
I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125
but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help
I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device. I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.
The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.
Any advice will be highly appreciated,
Max

11/11/2014 - Release - AIR 15 Runtime and SDK

Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of AIR is available for immediate download. This release includes bug and security fixes. In addition, the AIR SDK has been updated with important iOS 8 compatibility updates.
Below are some of the key features and benefits of AIR 15. Please see our release notes for full details.
New Features:
Stage3D “Standard” profile support for iOS and Android
In the Flash Runtime 14 release we introduced the Stage3D “Standard” profile which provided many advanced 3D features. At that time, the “Standard” profile was only available on desktop platforms. In the AIR 15 release we are extending this coverage to mobile platforms. If a device supports OpenGL ES3, it can successfully request the “Standard” profile and use the same advanced features as the desktop platform.
For additional information, please see our Stage3D Standard Profile article.
Relaxing Stage3D Render Target Clear
In previous versions of Stage3D, after switching the render texture through Context3D::setRenderToTexture, you were required to clear it before drawing. In this release, we're removing this limitation and optimizing the use of render textures. This change will allow you to further optimize and reuse depth and stencil buffers between different render textures.
For additional information, please see Relaxing Render Target Clear Operation in Stage 3D.
StageText.drawViewPortToBitmapData now supports Retina displays
Currently, AIR will allow a bitmap with the same width/height of the StageText object to be passed into drawViewPortToBitmapData. While fine for standard resolution displays, this is not sufficient for Apple's Retina HiDPI displays. Based on customer feedback, we've altered the drawViewPortToBitmapData method to accept a doubled size BitmapData with StageText's view port on a Mac Retina display, and then draw a HiDPI image from the view port.
Improved Packaging Engine is now default - iOS
Starting AIR 15, new improved IPA packaging engine is now the default packaging mode when packaging for AOT targets ipa-app-store, ipa-test, ipa-ad-hoc and ipa-debug. If you encounter any packaging or runtime issues, please report at http://bugbase.adobe.com. To use older packaging mode, use "-useLegacyAOT yes" in the ADT command, before the signing options. To learn more about the feature, please read Faster Compiling with AIR for iOS
AIR Gamepad Enhancements
AIR Gamepad feature enables the app developers to provide a second screen on Android mobile devices for the Flash based browser games. AIR Gamepad API enables Flash based browser apps to connect to a paired Android device running the AIR Runtime app and therefore allowing the Android devices to be used as game controllers or second-screen interfaces. Following enhancements are available starting AIR 15.
Multiplayer Support
Gyroscope Events
Magnetometer Events
Applying skin as AIR gamepad screen
To learn more about the feature and usage guidelines, please see Android Devices with AIR as Gamepads
AIR Cross Promotion
Adobe AIR 15 now supports cross promotion of AIR games for mobile devices. Cross promotions can be effective in saving some amount of advertising cost. With the right partnership, you gain access to a wider customer base with a demographic similar to that of your application. This cross promotion is free and works on a credit system. All you need is to earn enough credit points by promoting other AIR games to begin your own promotion campaign. The AIR SDK offers the new AdViewer API for promotion campaigns as a SWC, it provides functions to load and show in-game advertisements. You earn credit points for promoting AIR games by other developers based on ad impressions and clicks.
To learn more about the feature and usage guidelines, please see Cross Promotion of AIR Games for Mobile.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for the response!
I started pointing to SDKs back when ANE support first came out and it was required to point to the OS5.1 sdk in order to get ANEs to work.
I had been specifying the sdk ever since, since it had been working for me, even though it was no longer needed.
I just tried removing that and letting AIR take care of using the right SDK and it seems to have solved my screen rotation issue!
Thank you so much for that!
I do have a lot of splash screens. Again I think this was left over from when I started using AIR back in 2011. At that point in order to get the splash screens working correctly I ended up having to add all the different versions. However, I'd love to get rid of most of them as they bloat my app size. I'll try removing most of them and do some testing to ensure everything works fine now without them. Although I suspect I should still also need the Default@2x~ipad.png
Thanks again for your help!
Craig.

Weird OpenBox Issue (Or, What is This, I Don't Even)

Howdy y'all.
I have no clue as to what is happening here. My GUI is freaking out randomly. It might be related to feh, but I'm not sure. I'm using OpenBox with the standard feh bash script for a rotating wallpaper.
Does anybody know what this is? I would have looked it up, but I have no clue what to call this.
Here are some screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/C4PKt#1VTKo
As you can see, it seems to be buttons, images, and scrollbars that seem affected, but sometimes, it'll be my entire desktop background.
Help would be much appreciated, thank you.

MPEG Streamclip 1.8 is out...

A new version of MPEG Streamclip is out...MPEG Streamclip 1.8
As of 12/30/06
http://www.squared5.com/
added compatibility with DivX 6.5-6.6
improved AVI and DivX playback, encoding and editing
added an internal AVI importer
improved iPod compatibility
added the Open URL command with the Download button
added an internal audio resampler
added support for MPEG-1 in VOBs and transport streams
the Fix Timecode Breaks command has been improved
added 90 and 180 degree rotation
many bugs have been fixed

- MPEG Streamclip can now open and download FLV files.
- MicroMV and HDV camera owners please use Apple's DVHSCap to transfer movies into your Mac; then use MPEG Streamclip to convert them.
- DreamBox and Topfield users can open, download and upload movies with MPEG Streamclip, using the Enigma and Altair menus.
NEW IN VERSION 1.8
The Open URL command of the File menu, can now open and also download (or batch download) streams over the Internet, and it often recognizes and opens movies embedded in web pages. More details later in this guide.
MPEG Streamclip is now compatible with DivX 6. A special codec adapter has been added so now the DivX codec can be selected in the AVI and MOV exporter windows. If DivX 6.5 or later is installed, you can select MPEG Layer 3 audio in the exporter window as well.
The "Save As" command for AVI files has been significantly improved: it is faster, and can now handle B-frames properly. Better B-frame support has also been added in the AVI exporter, when the XviD codec is selected and B-frames are enabled in XviD options. Other improvements in the AVI exporter include proper encoding of AVI files with BMP and JPEG video, "lower" dominance for DivX, and a special frame size called "720x576 DivX PAL" that appear in place of "720x576 DV-PAL", when a DivX compatible codec is used.
An internal AVI importer has been added; it is a component that puts the AVI file in the player when it is opened in MPEG Streamclip. It was necessary because none of the three external AVI importers currently available (QuickTime, DivX, Perian-FFusion) seem to work properly.
Two internal AC3 and MP2 decoder components have been added: now it is possible to play QuickTime and AVI files with MPEG Layer 2 and AC3 sound without having to install any external codec.
An internal high-quality audio resampler (aka sample rate converter) has been added. This was necessary to replace the QuickTime audio resampler, used in previous versions of MPEG Streamclip, which worked well on PowerPC Macs but appeared to have random bugs on Intel Macs that affected the quality of sound and caused many out-of-sync problems.
Fixed many bugs; some of them were there since version 1.5, including: a bug in which the last few seconds of the audio track were not exported; a bug in which the video compressor used was sometimes different from the video compressor chosen; a bug in which the picture became darker/brighter when exporting with the same compressor; a bug in which the frame rate was not detected properly.
For FLV files, the Video PID menu lets you select the video aspect ratio (4:3/16:9).
Added support for MPEG-1 video in transport streams and in VOB files.
Added a quality slider for JPEG frame export.

Wallpaper OS Bug

I've discovered that nay non Default (25 images) that there is a zoom applied to these images when used as wallpaper.
I have been planning a few wallpaper images for download for the PB forum members but until this issue is resolved I'll hold off posting on my website.
Please take a look at this image the artwork is created 1024 x 600 and uploaded to the PB. When viewing the image it looks perfect but selecting it as a wall paper it gets zoom by about 60%..however er if I select a default PB images a wallpaper it's fine.
I've tried PNG and JPG and any artwork I create and set to wallpaper it gets zoomed.
This is definitely a OS bug!
Please review the attached image as you can see the original artwork and screen grab clearly shows the problem with imported images
eastcoastcreative

it looks like the PB OS is centering all images and applies the ratio depending on teh rotation....but that still does not explain why a 1024 x 600 image does not fit the defalut landscape mode as per my above iamge ....technically it shoudl fit perfect and be cropped when rotated, but itès not so
I did try a 1024 x 1024 iamge but hat is certainly a poor fix for something that is clearly an OS bug

Bash script: Rotate your wallpaper and SLiM theme at the same time

EDIT;
I've decided I should really thank Cerebral for his help with writing this script; this thank you should have been here from the get go.
After writing:
#!/usr/bin
echo "Hello World!"
I wrote a script to rotate my fluxbox background and SLiM theme at the same time, so I could have a contiuously changing background and still have a smooth transition from SLiM to fluxbox. (It just looks so much cooler when both have matching backgrounds). By the time you finish reading it, and configuring your box so it will work, you will probably have decided you could have writtin your own, better script to do the same thing. But, on the off chance anybody finds use for it, here it is:
(this should be obvious, but: don't run this script without at least reading the comments)
#!/bin/bash
#this is a script to rotate a number of backgrounds
#to be shared by the fluxbox desktop and SLiM login manager.
#it is the first meaningful script I've written. It may be
#freely distributed and used with the understanding that you are
#using it at your own risk.
#Before running this script you need to check that your SLiM
#themes are installed to the path /usr/share/slim/themes, which
#is the defulat path for installation in Arch. Here are some
#other things you need to set up:
#1. create (if you don't have it) the directory /usr/share/wallpapers
#2. create a wallpaper in /usr/share/wallpapers called 'dummy' by copying
#you current wallpaper to that filename
#3. set your window manager to display the wallpaper 'dummy', this works fine
#using a style overlay in fluxbox, I haven't tested it with any other window
#manager, but I don't see why this would cause a problem.
#4. create a directory /usr/share/slim/themes/current, you can copy one of
#your slim themes into that directory if you want. (this will prevent you
#from seeing some error messages the first time you run the script)
#5. define the names of the themes you want to rotate, in order for this
#script to work, you must name them "themeNUMBER", where NUMBER is replaced
#by an integer. Your themes must be numbered consecutively, start with 1
# that is:
#theme1 , theme2, theme3, etc. , theme305
#If you don't number consecutively, this script will not run properly. You
#must also define the total number of themes as "rotate_number"
#6. Check if the script runs, if it does, you should change /etc/slim.conf to
#use the theme "current"
#7. This theme will now rotate your SLiM theme and wallpaper in such a way as
#to make them match each other. Note that SLiM will not let you change themes
#"on the fly", (as of July 6, 2008), so changes will not be apparent unless you
#restart SLiM. I run the script before I run slim in my etc/rc.local local
#script, so each time I reboot I get different wallpaper / login background.

oh i forgot to mention... its rotating while moving. i.e. is doesn't have to stop rotate and then continue back to origin.
