Stop the last drawn line being automatically selected.

I've recently started using Illustrator (CS3), and I am mostly using the paintbrush tool with a wacom tablet. When I make a stroke, the stroke is automatically selected. When I make the next stroke, I sometimes draw over an anchor point on the previous stroke, it changes the shape of the first stroke...
I found a setting somewhere to stop the stroke I have just made being automatically selected, but now I can't find that setting again... can someone please tell me where to find this setting, thanks.

DoubleClick the Brush tool. Turn off Edit Selected Paths.
(Would that Illustrator's Pen tool had a similar option to disallow its infernal behavior of altering UNselected paths!)

  • Prevent the next message from being automatically selected when deleting?

    The information on this page (Mail (Yosemite): Delete messages) doesn't work for me:
    "Tip: To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message."
    The next message still opens up.
    Anyone know what to do here?

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

  • Trying to email the last 10 lines of a file in the body of an email

    Hi All:
    Total PS n00b here.
    I'm using PS 2.0 - I am using the "Get-Content | Select -last 10" on a logfile that I want to email. I got the email to work, but the formatting is lost (it's a Robocopy log that lists the details of what got copied/skipped/etc.)
    Is there a way to retain the formatting of the last 10 lines?
    Thanks for any feedback. 

    Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I was able to get it closer using "Select-Object -last 10|%{"$_ <br/>"}. Remember, I'm using PS 2.0 & "-Tail" & "-last 10" wouldn't work w/out "Select-Object".
    I had a friend who had a PS script that does $msg.IsBodyHTML = $true and it got it closer.
    Here's what it supposed to look like outta Robocopy:

    I'd like to get the numbers to line up w/their columns & my manager says he prefers it in the body & not an attachment, but I tried tommymaynard's suggestions, but I don't know how to tell it to overwrite an existing file.
    Thanks again, all. I will make sure to push for installing PS 4, as it looks like there's more flexibility in it.

  • How do I stop the task panes from opening automatically when I open a PDF?

    How do I stop the task panes from opening automatically when I open a PDF?
    When I open some of my PDFs the task panes open too. I do not want them to as I have never used them in reader for any purpose. I use reader to READ PDFs. I don't need the task panes and don't want them opening when reader starts.

    Adobe seem to have decided that they are so important that you must see them. Perhaps because it is their chance to sell you stuff. It seems to vary between releases, are you on the latest? Curiously, many people have no idea how to open and close these panels.

  • How can I stop the last character of my password from being displayed?

    Sorry, I'm sure this would have been asked before, but I couldn't locate it..
    When unlocking my iPad, how can I stop it from displaying the last character of my password to everyone in the vicinity? This has got to be the fastest way to find out someone's password (just look at the screen as they type their 'secure' password!?). Having the iPad display your password letter by letter is really not acceptable when working in a non-secure environment.
    Is there a setting somewhere, or will this be addressed in a new iOS, or just ignored as a 'that's the way it is'?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

    Hi,
    This may have been the way it has been on iOS since 2008 (not sure about that though), however I know (based on working in the IT industry for 20 years) that nobody on this planet can successfully argue that it would be 'acceptable security practice', for me to display 'every last letter' as I type of a secure 'root' password on my screen every day when you log in... Nobody would think it acceptable to display even their LAN/Domain password on the screen in this same manner. So why is iOS different?!
    iOS on a phone (it used to be argued) doesn't need to be very secure as it is almost entirely phone numbers and email addresses that are being stored. However in recent years when the applications got better, and tablets came out, security became a much bigger issue as more and more people started using the functions of 'smart' phones to store more 'sensitive' data.
    Kind regards,
    Andy
    Are you suggesting that someone looking over your shoulder can't see the keys that you're tapping with your fingers? In the interest of security, i would never, under any circumstances, enter a password when others are around.

  • Is there any way to force the "Save As" dialog to automatically select only the filename, not the filename+extension?

    See
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426680
    or more clearly stated here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480522
    Two years later this "bug" (not exactly a bug, but a pain in the butt nonetheless) is still not resolved.
    Yes, I'm running the latest version of Firefox (6.0.1). And I'm running it on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.7.
    The selection is made correctly in other applications; this problem is Firefox-specific, and occurs even when no extensions or plug-ins are installed.
    Except that when I had my last computer, I found a work-around somewhere that fixed it, but for the life of me I can't recall what kind, how, or where.
    Any help with solving this irritating issue would be greatly appreciated.

    The initial view (IV) settings within a PDF file are static tags - they can't be made to dynamically-adapt based on the window dimensions,it's the renderer (Acrobat, Reader, or whatever else is opening the file) that decides if and how it will follow the IV requested by the file header.
    It would be possible to use a Page Open action on the first page of the file, which does some nasty math with the various doc.*WindowRect objects to work out how much "wasted" space there is, and then set the doc.layout and doc.zoomType properties - but page actions are a different concept to IV as the zoom will reset itself every time that page is viewed. Users don't like their application apparently fiddling with the zoom level without being told to!

  • The last YouTube video plays automatically when I launch Firefox

  • Right-Indenting the last paragraph line in a Table Of Contents entry

    Hi,
    I'm using CS4 In Design.
    I'm trying to format the paragraph styles for my Table of Contents.
    I have the tab leaders working, everything looks good except that I have entries that have multiple lines, and I can't find a way to format the TOC paragraphs so that the lines BEFORE the last line are right-indented more than the last line (which of course contains the tab leads and page number).
    I'd like to not have to go into my text and manually add Right Index Tabs in every heading instance that will be pulled into the TOC.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    > How DOES one set last lines that don't leave room for leaders?
    One manually breaks the line short (or lives with no leaders) using a
    shift-return. I usually finesse TOCs after I think the client is mostly
    done with correcting.
    > I now note that some of my neat page numbers are nudged to the right...
    I'm not sure what that means. If you're using a right-aligned tab (or
    two tabs, if you want to right-align the ends of the leaders) your
    numbers should right-align on the tab setting. Exactly. Nothing should
    be "nudged to the right".

  • How to remove the last new line in text area ?

    I have a calculator Applet that shows the calculation in a text area.
    if i enter 2+6, the text area shows
    2+
    6
    and i have a clear last button, which deletes the last entry by user.
    in the example above, one hit of clear last, deletes 6. another hit should delete +.
    I can delete the numbers, but I don't know how to go back to the previous line and delete the operator.
    I may have other calculations in that text area above the current calculation. so replaceAll("\n","") would not work here.
    Please someone help me here.

    it's an applet, i am developing in Eclipse ( mac environment)
    so for deleting a number i used this code, and works fine
    String temp = t.getText();
                             String lastChar = temp.substring(temp.length()-1);
                             for (int i=0; i<numbers.length; i++) // deleting a number
                                  if (lastChar.equals(numbers)){
                                       temp = temp.substring(0,temp.length()-1);
                                       number = number.substring(0,number.length()-1);
                                       t.setText(temp);
    which t is the text area, and numbers is the string array of 0 to 9, and number is a string where i store the entered number
    so i thought for deleting an operator i should use something similar, where i need to go back to the previous line and delete it,
    String temp = t.getText();
                             String lastChar = temp.substring(temp.length()-1);
                             if(lastChar.equals("n")){
                                                            temp = temp.substring(0,temp.length()-3);// deleting n , \ , and the operator
                                       t.setText(temp);
                             } but it doesn't work

  • How to remove the last blank line in the downloaded text file?

    Hi All,

  • How do I stop the main volume slider being controlled by external hardware?

    Hi
    I really want to STOP the main volume slider in Logic 7.2 from being controlled by the main output volume knob of my Novation A-Station (external hardware synth).
    How do I just STOP that slider in Logic from responding to ANY midi messages?
    Cheers!

    Thanks - but i'm not clear on this.
    Is there a simple way of just stopping a slider or other control (like PAN for example!) from being controlled by MIDI ? I just want to be able to choose the thing in Logic and tell it "NO!! you will not be controlled by anything other than my mouse!!"
    I now notice that another knob on my Edirol Keyboard is controlling the main track PAN in Logic!
