Stepping back thru History shouldn't change layers until it needs to

Hopefully I can explain this behavior clearly. I have "Command + Z" assigned to Step Backward in history to give roughly the same functionality as multiple undo in most any other app on the Mac.
When I'm doing illustration work in PsCS4, I'll often switch from Layer A to Layer B and make a mark with the Brush Tool. I'll decide I don't like that mark, so I Command + Z to "undo" that first mark made since switching to Layer B. The Step Backward does it's thing and gets rid of the mark as expected, but also switches back to Layer A, instead of remaining on Layer B so I can create a new brush stroke.
My request is that Step Backward should stay on a Layer until it reaches a point in History where it's "un-doing" something that happened on a different layer. Or another way to put it: Layer Switching should not happen until the instance of Step Backward would be un-doing an event on on another layer.
Or at least make this a user-defined pref?
Thanks!

I encountered this misbehaviour many times myself and would like
to see it fixed as well.
For me it happens when pressing alt+ctrl+z after a single brush stroke on a newly switched layer.
And to replicate this problem I had to create two new empty layers, then switch to the second layer and make a stroke there. After pressing alt+ctrl+Z photoshop removes the stroke and jumps to layer 3.
Hope it helps to catch the bug.

CS6 Auto-Save: 1 step forward, 1 step back

I have done a little testing with the auto-save, and there is some progress with CS6 - especially in the area where earlier versions would stop playback or scrubbing to fire off an auto-save.
It looks like the auto-save does not stop playback or scrubbing on the timeline anymore. It will stop you from other operations such as moving an audio slider or other non-critical mouse clicks. I tested with 1 minute intervals, and it appears that it won't auto-save during playback or scrubbing in the background, and will wait until the next interval after playback has stopped until it saves. (Instead of taking the very next possible moment after playback has stopped to makeup for the save) This seems like it could create the possibility that if you are playing back or scrubbing during multiple interval moments, you could have a long period where there are no auto-saves - especially if you set the interval to a high number. Like I said, I only tested with a 1 minute interval, so maybe this functions differently if you save every 10 or 20 minutes. Maybe then it will do an auto-save right after playback has stopped if it has been awhile.
The step back is that if you hide PPro, (I'm on a Mac, btw) instead of just bouncing the dock icon during an auto-save like previous versions, it will actually bring PPro to the front and block out/cancel anything else you are doing on your machine. How annoying! I can't figure out the reason to have it function like this. If it is simply hidden behind other windows, it does not do this, instead only brings to the front the small auto-save progress bar - It only happens if you hide the appplication. For example, if you are moving back and forth between PPro and AE, you could be working away on a comp in AE and suddenly PPro jumps to the foreground to let you know it did an auto-save. Since I have 2 monitors, I like to hide apps that I'm not working in to hide pallettes and other windows so I can have my desktop back. Seems like the solution for now is to not hide PPro ever and to do a proper save more often to avoid the issue of potential long periods of no auto-saves. (And submit a bug report?)
Anyways, long post for a potential trivial thing, but for those who care about this, it is a change. Anyone else experiencing this?

Jim,
Exactly, and that is what the "1 step forward" is with CS6. It drove me crazy when Auto-Save would interrupt playback. I was suggesting that it would be a better option that if you are playing back during an auto-save interval, it should take the very next opportunity to fire off a save, like maybe after hitting stop when there is a moment of downtime. However - in my testing - it looks like it skips that interval completely and waits for the next one. So, if you have it set to save every 10 minutes, but are playing back your timeline during each of those 10 minute intervals, it will never auto-save even if there are large stretches of time in between when you are doing nothing. It seems like it could be more intellegent about when it saves, and do it quieter in the background.

Condition type to be loaded on Material cost after Taxes but shouldn't change Tax base Amount.

Customer requirement is that they want to deduct some amount after the Taxes (after BASB) &t load this amount value after taxes on Material cost (hence accrual KEY can't be used). but with the addition of this new condition type (for deduction) it shouldn't change the base amount for Tax condition type (BASB).
Basic Problem : new condition type value to be load on material (after taxes). but this condition value shouldn't change the Net price of PO(amount in BASB condition of Tax) so that base amount (BASB) of Tax procedure remain unchanged.
(Since it is to be loaded on material hence i cant use account key definitely. Also this cost to be loaded on material after taxes)
Ex -             PBXX =     100 base price
                 Freight =       20
   Tax base amnt =     120
               Tax (5%)=          6
                      Total =    126
     Other Charges=      10 (this 10 Rs amount in this condition type required to be loaded on material cost, at the same time this condition value shouldn't change the base amount for the Tax (BASB)
Please suggest (purpose is to load the deduction on material cost after Taxes & same time it shouldn't change the the amount after Tax base calculation)

Hi,
   Your condition type is without acrual flag in M/06. No acrual key is maintained in the MM pricing procedure.
   To achieve your requirement, maintain subtotal 6 against the condition type in your MM pricing procedure in M/08.
   Maintain the base type calc procedure as 362 against your BASB condition type in tax procedure. Keep the field blank for the tax condition type (VAT or CST / ED etc)
   Test the scenario again with a new PO. System will show the condition value in net amount field in PO, but the same wont be copied to BASB in tax procedure. Check the taxes pop up. Check the same and revert back.
Note: Similar requirement (not exact) for acrual conditions are mentioned in my doc: Tax Calculation on Freight - Different Scenarios You may refer it if required.

AKPT

What happened to the back/previous history button? (next to the back/forward buttons)

Hi, just upgraded from firefox 3.6 to 4.
The main problem I have with this version which will make me go back to 3.6 if I can't solve it, is that in this version (4) there is no back history to click on next to the navigational back and forward buttons. I'm not talking about the history menu from the menu bar. I'm talking about the pathway I took to get to the page I'm on, which will be different for every tab that I have open. Sometimes if I've just gone through ebay or paypal checkouts or sent/posted questions on forums etc, I will not be able to just repeatedly press 'back' as it may resend twice, or force me to resend data to re-enter that page, even though I didn't want that page, I wanted the page that was 5 steps back prior. You know what I mean? It used to be great to use that on 3.6 to navigate around and jump about back and fore 8 or 9 pages at a time. The history button in the menu bar doesn't help me, it just tells me the last few pages I've been to overall, and not specific to that tab.
Also, how can I customise the navigation bar? I want an icon for the refresh button back like the one in 3.6 (big, prominent, and moveable). Same for the home button, it's now stuck at the far side (I used to customise all these buttons to be as together or as central as I could).

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:
* Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
* Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

Back dated action which is changing the status ' inactive'

hi friends,
my requirement is as below :
i want to insert back dated action which is changing the status as inactive ( currently he is active) .
System is not accepting to insert it and giving the message "   future action exists,check the status"
So for that first i am deleting all future actions and inserting the current action(which is changing status) and after inserting back all the deleted actions.
But the problem is as per the latest records in IT0000 it is showing currently the employee is in 'active' status(as we have inserted back the deleted records).
But i want to make him into 'inactive' status after the current action( which is changing status as inactive) is inserted.
This is my urgent requirement . an anybody respond to this immeadately.
waiting for ur reply.
thanks in advance.

Hi Gajesh,
                 The process is as follows :
1) During Calibration of a product,depending on the technician's User decision , 3 follow up actions are created.
2) Each follow up action has one FM associated with it, which is customised in      SPRO > Display IMG > Quality Management > Quality Inspection > Inspection Lot Completion > Define follow-Up Action .
3) In the first case ( first Follow up action when the inspection is successful) the first FM is triggered. In this FM we have to perform the following steps :
                               a) Determine the Maintenance Order and the equipment.
                               b) Incase both are available, status of equipmnt should be changed to 'A',
                                   Maintenance Order should be changed to 'Technically completed' and
                                   Maintenance Notification to 'Notification Completed' .
If you need further info pls let me know.
Thanks,

Viewing an edit 1 or 2 steps "back"?

Hi there,
I'm a fairly new iPhoto user. I am taking my first few steps in learning how to edit and manage my pictures in iPhoto. It's taking me a while because I'm used to editing my photos in Photoshop, viewing the files with ACDsee, and batch renaming my actual "file names" with ACDsee as well. Iphoto doesn't allow many of the functions I am used to using as a PC ADCsee/Photoshop user... but I'm trying to adapt.
My question is; When I edit a photo with iPhoto is there a way I can revert to an edit I may have liked "3 steps back"? I think I am seeing that I can revert to the way the picture was set during "the last step", but I can't see any type of "history" panel like Photoshop has... If I make an edit and I realize the picture was perfect 3 steps back, but I last worked on it the day before yesterday, is there any way for me to reach that state again without having to completely re-do all of my edits?
Thank you,
YahYah

I can revert to an edit I may have liked "3 steps back"?
Depress the command (apple) key and type z three times (or one time to go back one edit or two times to go back two edits )

Score Window: Thru Instrument no longer changes when changing tracks

Today is my 8th day working in the score window and all of the sudden the thru instrument no longer changes to the track (stave) selected in the score window.
What button/key command did I press and how do I get the previous behaviour back?

some of theswe 'inconsistencies' are there for a reason:
- because that is the way the program evolved
- because they are not inconsistencies on another level or work flow.
also you should be aware that logics philsophy is to be customizable. in general it is almost always possible to set something up so that it behave you would like or expect it to. there problems inherent with this kind of philosophy, but it is what makes logic unique and very flexible.
i would strongly advise you to start perusing the ley command list at every possible moment. reassign key commands so that they behave more consistently for you. for example i have developed my own heirarchy of key commands:
- single strokes for all the most commonly invoked key commands and opening of editors.
- any other editor or subeditor i will use the 'shift' modifier (ie for me shift means open...)
- then complex modifiers for actions that are quite drastic, such as merge etc.
i try to keep all KCs relevant to their function...so for example
c = convert
m = mute
q = open event editor (ok not that one so much)
finally, when in doubt customize, customize, customize.

I want print, forward/back, refresh, history,favorites in my toolbar

i have mozilla firefox and the toolbar which i guess is yahoo sucks
and i want to change it to meet my needs, not a bunch of stupid apps??
i need print,forward/back,refresh,history, favorites for starters
how do i get this??

By default Firefox will display back/forward and reload icons, plus a few more. If they are missing see the [[back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]].
The [[how to customize the toolbar]] article may also be of use to you.

Try disable anti-virus and firewall and try again. You can switch back on after you've finished.

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.
