Save custom windows layouts?

It was possible to save various custom window layouts in legacy FCP and it still is in pretty well all other non-Apple editing apps but I can't find a way of doing it in FCP X.
Is it possible or is there a workaround?

No and no.
Really bugging. I'm using diff. 'windows layouts' for diff. tasks:
tagging imports asks for a wider Event browser and a small Previews, Color Correction doesn't need Events at all, but a huge Preview; etc etc etc.
A case of feedback:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html
I once tested to change the window arrangement.pref of FCPX by replacing the diff. prefs - no luck, didn't work.

Custom window layout for Motion

I'm working with FCP 4.5 and I have lot's of motion (scale/rotate..) on my current project.
I'm trying to create a custom window layout where I would have the motion replacing the timeline, but I can't get it to work. The saved layout always brings up the motion for the clip that was open when I saved the layout, not the one I'm working on.
What would be an easy way to switch to motion view of current clip in viewer, without having to click on tabs and dragging windows?
Thanks.

You can have multiple Viewers open. I do that often when I have complicated effects in play. But there really isn't a way to do what exactly what you want, AFAIK.

Is there a way to delete a custom window layout?

I accidentally saved a custom window layout without naming it first, and I'd really like it to be properly named. Is there a way to either delete the custom window layout itself or rename it?

Window Layout/ Button Bars

Hi,
is there a way to make a custom window layout and button bar load at start-up automatically ie make it the standart?
Everytime the system crashes - and it does a lot currently with EX footage, it reverts back to not my preferred settings...

You might want to figure out why you're crashing to begin with...
In the meantime, I'd save a window layout, then you only need to call that back up after a crash...Main Menu/Window/Arrange/Save (or Load) Window layout...
Not sure about button bars, I've not seen them disappear except after trashing prefs (and not sure they did then, either)

Window layout

In my final cut pro 7 settings i have made 5 personal window layouts.
I know where they are located: Users/your name/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Window Layouts.
Now i want to make another one.
When i try to save it, the window layout folder shows a small x and the 5 other layouts that are in the folder are grey.
So i can't save another preset window layout.
Does anyone know what is the problem?
THX!
Wilko

I'd try repairing permissions (applications: utilities: Disk Utility)
and deleting fcp preferences

But you can save your windows layout to another location. Have you tried that? If that works, you could try to manaully move the layout file into the window layout folder

Is there any way to save a customized toolbar layout?

Is there any way to save a customized toolbar layout?

Printing the layout helps, I can pretty much do it from memory..
Once you have '''freshly generated the layout''' you want
# Open your profile folder by typing about:support int the location bar (or Help > Troubleshooting information...)
# Click on Open containing folder
# use File > Exit or "Firefox" button > Exit to get out of Firefox (Not the "X" in upper right corner as that just closes the Window)
# in your profile f older select localstore.rdf and copy ("Ctrl+C") then paste it aback to make a copy, repeat to create at least one more copy, The original and "localstore - Copy.rdf " and "localstore - Copy (2).rdf" will all be the same, about 4KB to start with. (not 18 KB not 76 KB)
# bring Firefox back up.
''Freshly generated ''means rename or delete the original localstore.rdf while Firefox is down, restart Firefox and customize your toolbars as you want them.
If you have a problem with a corrupt localstore.rdf bring Firefox down and in your profile directory delete or rename the localstore.rd then rename a copy to localstore.rdf
Reference: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf see references to backup copy, you should, of course, be taking periodic backups of all your personal data, and for Firefox that includes your profile.

How to load and save custom workspaces in PE7

I've written a little utility which allows PE7 users to load and save custom workspaces. It's attached to post #1 of this thread.
System requirements
The utility has been tested with Windows XP Pro SP3 only. It might or might not run under Vista. It will only work with PE7 installations where the executable files are in the default places.
Installation
When you have downloaded the utility (it's only 199KB) you can run it from any convenient place in your system - it doesn't need to be installed as such.
Usage
It's pretty self-explanatory in use but here's the manual!
Run the downloaded utility "PE7WS.exe".
A file selection dialog appears. Choose the workspace layout file you wish to use. "LastUsed.layout" is the last used workspace (that's all you will be offered the first time you run the program). If you press Cancel at this point, the program will exit and nothing will happen.
Once you have selected the workspace, click "Open" and Premiere Elements 7 will run, using the workspace layout you chose.
After you exit from Premiere Elements 7, a workspace layout file save dialog will appear. If you made changes to the workspace during your Premiere Elements 7 session, you can now give the revised workspace a name and save it.
Do not save the workspace in a different directory from that which the dialog offers!
If you have changed an existing custom workspace, and you want to update the version previously stored, just select the name and over-write the saved workspace layout with the new one.
If you don't want to save the workspace at all, just click "Cancel" - next time you run Premiere Elements, you can choose the "LastUsed.layout" workspace to use that last used unsaved workspace in any event.
If you use the PE7WS utility to run Premiere Elements 7, and then you use the menu option "Window > Restore Workspace", then exit, you can either cancel the workspace saving stage, (which will mean that "LastUsed.layout" will contain that default workspace), or you could give that default workspace a name like "PE7 Default" so you can start a future Premiere Elements 7 session with the default workspace, even though you last used a custom workspace.
If you run Premiere Elements 7 in the usual way without using PE7WS.exe, the workspace that appears will be the last used one.
The usual disclaimer...
The utility should be entirely safe in use, but I can't accept responsibility for any loss or damage it might cause. However, the only file manipulation is does is to workspace files in the directory that Premiere Elements 7 uses purely for the purpose - the utility doesn't go anywhere near your precious project files.

I'm finding it very handy on my particular twin 22" monitor setup to sometimes use a one-screen layout and sometimes a two screen layout. I 'discovered' that having the timeline on the second monitor enables me to tweak edits there while having the playback full size after pressing the "full screen" button on the first monitor. Where the timeline would normally be I have the history, mixer, and other windows always open. As the second monitor is also used by another PC (the one I have the net and email etc on) using "Maxivista" monitor sharing software, I revert to single screen layout when doing stuff like exporting to DVD so I can see what is going on with the render while typing stuff like this.
Selectable workspaces are dead handy!

Can't Save Custom Columns in Effects Tab?

In the now archived thread at
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5264320&#5264320>
Jerry Hoffman and D. Gilmore describe how to right-click on a column in the Browser (other than the Name column) and then choose the Save Column Layout option, which is exactly what I'm wanting to do. Weird thing though is when I try to do this for the custom column layout I've created under my Browser's Effects tab, that "Save Column Layout..." option is greyed out, along with most of the others as well.
Under the Project tab, I can Save and Load column layouts to my heart's content, but under the Effects tab, the only options which AREN'T greyed out when I right-click on a column heading (any column heading) are Hide Column (at the top) and Show Thumbnail (at the bottom). The other five in between (including Save Column Layout) are inaccessible.
Am using 6.0.2 with OS X 10.5.2. Any theories?
Bonus Question:
Is there any way to make a custom column layout in the Browser be part of a custom window arrangement, so that when I select one of my custom window arrangements FCP will load my preferred Browser column layout at the same time?
Thanks,
John Bertram
Toronto

Thanks to both Jerry and Doug for that confirmation -- albeit not the one I was hoping for!
And though it may come as a surprise, I did indeed create a custom layout of the Effects tab columns: with my Browser window over on a separate monitor, I like to have the Name column set wider (so the full names of all my Nattress FX are visible), then the Description column first (also set wider so I can actually see what the description says), and then my own Comments column immediately following that.
Despite the limited number of info columns in that Effects tab, it does seem odd that they would implement a Save Column Layout option in other Browser tabs, while then displaying it but not actually implementing it in this one tab.
So along with making custom column layouts part of custom window arrangements, I guess it's time I sent in yet another Feature Request to the friendly folks at FCP Feedback.
In any case, thanks again for the confirmation that at least my system wasn't doing something weird.

Hard Copy function in Customized Local layout ( Alt +F12) on tool bar

Hi Experts,
In SAP, the last button on the tool bar (i.e Customized Local layout - Alt + F12) use to automatically print a copy of the current transaction on screen when we selected the u201CHard Copyu201D command.
But now, when we select u201CHard Copyu201D a screen comes up as if to save as a file. How can we change so as to automatically print?
Thanks in advance
Raghu

This is because of incorrect print configuration.
Goto,
From any report program select:
Program-->print. In the print list screen window , click on properties.

1.Tome of printing -- print out immediately
2.format -- x_65_132.
3.sppol request -- (any name with RS).
4.SAp cover sheets -- default settings .
5.os cover sheet -- default setings.
6.New sppol request --- yes

Custom Keyboard Layout

Tried to create a couple of custom keyboard commands via tools> custom keyboard layout. FCS2 seems to completely ignore the two changes that I made (I did unlock and lock during the process)
Is there a step I’m omitting?
m

I think what you have to do is save your changes into a new keyboard layout - and do it before you close the layout window. Then load the layout and you should be good to go. I did a quick test and that seemed to be how it worked.
Hope that helps.

Problem with Mail and customized keyboard layout

I have created a customized keyboard layout in XML, it loads and works perfectly with all applications except Apple Mail. I noticed on a googlegroup that somebody has the same problem. How can I submit this Mail bug to Apple?

download and run Find Any File to search for "Antidote".
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. Any file you find will be in the search results window and can be dragged to the Desktop and then to the Trash bin.

How do I duplicate custom print layouts across multiple pages?

Hi there, brand new to LR. Using a Macbook Air.
I understand that in order to print 3 4x6 images on one 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper I need to create a Custom Package Layout and then manually drag and drop each photo into a cell. That's fine, I've created one page that meets my needs (has crop marks, leaves space between photos, etc.) and dragged and dropped my photos.
The issue comes in because I basically want to print 19 pages of this exact same layout but with different photos. Is there a way to copy and paste (or duplicate or something) the format from the first page of my template? So far it seems like I'll have to manually recreate the template on every page, then go back and add the photos.
Thanks!

It is probably easiest to create a single page template and save it as a User Template. You will still have to go a page at a time and drag the pictures in one-by-one but you won't have to recreate the template over and over again.
I don't see an elegant solution for you, Sorry.

How can I get Final Cut 7 to remember my customized keyboard layout?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this community, my name is Flavio, from Argentina.
I'm on a Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2, using Final Cut 7 and I'm using a customized keyboard layout (1 for zoom in, 2 for zoom out), but everytime I launch the application I have to go to Tools>Keyboard Layout to change it, is there a way to tel the ap to launch that layout almays?
Thanks!

It works for me without doing anything special. You might try deleting your fcp preferences
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
If that doesn't solve it, describe exactly what your doing to customize the keyboard.
I assume if you do a "save keyboard layout" from the tools menu: keyboard layout after customizing the keyboard and then load keyboard layout after relaunching fcp, that at least works.

Multiple Page Contents Page Fields In Custom Page Layout SP2013

I'm rather new so bare with me. I'm trying to add multiple page content page fields with snippets to a custom page layout html file in SP2013 Designer. Once I add the snippet and publish, I review the page and any text written
in the last created page content box saves for both page content boxes instead of saving unique text in both. How do you change the snippets to where they are unique snippets and won't be referenced as the same one?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
