Studio 11 freezes when using external editor

A heavy user of Sun Development Software on our research
network has encountered the following problem with the latest
version of the IDE (Studio 11):
"     A bit of experimenting says that the critical choice is selecting an
external editor:
Tools -> Options -> Editing -> External Editor -> Editor Type = GVim
I was able to get Studio to lock up with both the multiwindow (Traditional SDI)
and single window (One Window MDI) presentation
Tools -> Options -> System -> System Settings -> User Interface
if you want to play with it. It's harder to lock up in single window mode.
     I didn't test with Emacs. Using CDE with a vanilla cshrc and login was
bad enough. There are some things I just won't do :-).
     My suspicion is that there's some sort of a race condition, as Studio
will start and function correctly on occasion (maybe once in five tries). But
even when it starts and works ok on my toy test program, it hangs reliably when
I try to load one of the big executables from the COIN code."
He's using a Sun Blade 150 running Sol,Solaris 9 and had been
able to recreate the problem in both Gnome and CDE.

I've seen a similar problem and it had a very simple solution. When
gvim starts, it sometimes posts a message and waits for input. It
doesn't redraw after its printed the message. The message can be
as simple as the initial file-loaded message (if its long enough, it
truncates the load message and puts a 'Hit Return' or 'More' message
at the end. Or it can be a message telling a swap file exists and
asking what you want to do. Probably other messages as well.
In the case I remember, the IDE was on top of the gvim. Even when
raised, gvim didn't redraw, so I ended up with an apparently hung
gvim.
But it wasn't really hung. It was waiting for input but the message was
lost so I didn't know.
If this is your problem, the answer is simple. Try pressing Return and
see if the gvim redraws. You might also try ^C if Return doesn't work.
If its a different problem then it sounds like a new bug and I'd need
enough information to reproduce it. We tested it before release, and
didn't run into any serious problems (and this certainly sounds
serious). So let me know (this forum is a good enough way) if that
solves the problem or not.
Also, although I prefer the SDI mode, the core IDE (NetBeans 3.5.1)
doesn't support it well. I strongly recommend running in MDI mode.
Things just work better!

  • When using external editor, iPhoto does not re-import the .psd file

    Hi,
    I've just started using Photoshop Elements 6 as a more advanced editor in iPhoto. When I do the 'External Edits' wihtout adding layers etc. and re-save as a JPEG then the photo will re-appear in iPhoto as the edited file.
    However if I do the external edit and add layers then save as a .PSD, then the file does not update.. I have to save the .PSD file in a desktop folder then import the file after.
    Is there anyway to force iPhoto to pick up the .PSD automatically after an update if I save it to the iPhoto library?
    Thanks,
    Glyn

    Glyn:
    The folllowing might be of some help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you import a psd file initially then you can edit it via the external editor, with or without layers, and do a normal save and iPhoto will recognize the changes.

  • Huge file size  grow when using external editor

    Hello,
    I want to use an external editor such as Photoshop or Pixelmator. When I set one of the applications to be the external editor everytime I open a file for editing a version is created with a file size of approx. 57 Mb.
    Any ideas what is going on here?

    Lt, it's also worth seeing if you have the setting for the TIFF so that it best suits you.  If you don't require a 16 bit TIFF make sure the it's set to create an 8 bit TIFF instead.  The 57 meg size sounds like a 16 bit image.  An 8 bit one will be half that
    .  Before Aperture I used to stay16 bit right up until I passed the image off to whoever it was going to, at which point I'd make them an 8 bit version because that would usually be what they wanted.  But now so much of whatever advantage that brought me (exposure and tonal changes, especially in solid areas) is being done in Aperture, even before creating a TIFF, so it can be argued that for many people the advantage of exporting 16 bit to the external editor isn't gaining them that much.  If it's going to a consumer printer (that is not 16 bit aware) even more so.   16 bit is better, but if size is an issue and Aperture is doing 90% of the global tweaking, I don't think sending the editor an 8 bit TIFF is a crime  :  )  

  • IPhoto 11 bug when using external editor (Photoshop Elements)

    In iPhoto 11, my iPhoto database is confused/corrupted whenever I edit a picture in my external editor (Photoshop Elements 8). I believe this is an iPhoto problem because the picture is not corrupted until I quit iPhoto try to re-open the edited version.
    Steps I take:
    1. Pick a file, and "Edit in External Editor". Duplicate of the file is made (ThisPic.jpg becomes ThisPic_2.jpg), and that duplicate is opened in PSE. I edit the photo in PSE, and hit Save - PSE updates ThisPic_2.jpg. I close PSE, go back to iPhoto, and I can do whatever I want to the file - double click to view larger, export, everything seems fine. When I pick "File | Reveal in Finder" and use either the "modified file" or "original file" option, they take me to ThisPic_2.jpg in the finder.
    2. Close iPhoto
    3. Re-open iPhoto
    4. Now, that file seems to be corrupt in iPhoto. I can see the thumbnail image for ThisPic_2.jpg, but nothing else works. I double click on the file, and I get a black screen with a triangle and an exclamation point in it. When I try to export the file, nothing happens.
    The interesting thing is when I go into "File | Reveal in Finder". When I pick the "modified file", it doesn't seem to find it - I am shown the root of my hard drive in the finder. But when I pick "original file", it takes me to ThisPic_2.jpg, and I can use preview to see that my edits are still there.
    I copied that file to the desktop, re-imported it into iPhoto, and I can access that photo again through iPhoto - everything works, even after I close and re-open iPhoto.
    I reported this through the iPhoto Feedback option. I thought I'd share what I found in case it helps anyone else.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I get the same response when I follow your workflow. If you select the thumbnail of that photo and use the Photos ➙ Revert to Original menu option you will be able to view the photo in full size.
    Evidently editing in iPhoto with an external editor puts the edits on the duplicated original file and puts that file in the same Masters subfolder as the first file was imported into. Once iPhoto is restarted the links are messed up and the Revert gets rid of the "edited" link and keeps the link to the file in the Masters folder.
    It definitely is a bug. However, it's not taking up more space on the hard drive than the edit that resulted in a modified file linked to the original file. There still are just two files.
    Subsequent edits to the file with the external editor result is the edits being added to the file with no problems if iPhoto is closed and relaunched. The downside is that if you make 3 edits to the file you can't go back one edit. It's non reversible. The edited version can be deleted leaving the untouched original version.
    Subsequent edits to the same file with iPhoto work as usual, with a modified version being created.
    So Old Toad, I have just gone from iPhoto 9 to iPhoto 11 and step by step this is what is happening for me.
    In iPhoto 9 if I selected photoshop to alter an image it created one duplicate version of the image and put that into the modified folder and that edited image became the image you would see in the events viewer. All very logical.
    Now iPhoto 11 is doing the same for me but is creating multiple duplicates ie. everytime I select photoshop to edit an image. One image I edited recently has now got 6 versions in the library. If that is the way iPhoto works then that will be fine as it is doing it's job for me but the caviat is have I got 6 times the memory space being used up or does it just appear that way? If the memory space useage isn't being increased then I am OK with this new way of doing things but if the memory space is being used up then it is a fiasco - especially as apple are concentrating on writing their systems to use up less space than before in line with current thinking.
    Look forward to you clarifying this point if you can.

  • Exporting Versions: avoid duplicate files when using external editor?

    I've got an Aperture Library containing TIFF masters. Some of the files have been edited via built-in Aperture tools; others have been edited using an external editor (PhotoShop). I want to do a batch export of all the Versions as scaled-down JPEG. If I select all the files in the library and export, everything works as expected, but there is one nuisance: every file that has been edited externally is exported twice.
    For example, consider a file named "MyFile-1.tiff", which exists in the library in the original version and the edited version, with the same filename. The export writes two files:
    MyFile-1.jpg (the original version)
    MyFile-1 (001).jpg (the Photoshopped version)
    I only want and need the edited version. So "MyFile-1.jpg" is extraneous and needs to be deleted, and "MyFile-1 (001).jpg" needs to be renamed.
    Is there any way to prevent this from happening without manually deselecting all of the individual version files I don't want to export? I don't see any setting or smart album feature that would say "when you find a file that has been edited externally, export only the externally edited version".
    It's not a big deal for me to use batch file renaming to clean up the exported files, but it is one more step in the workflow that I'd rather avoid.

    Do the original versions of the externally edit images have Aperture adjustments applied? And if so would you then want both of the images exported?
    If the answer to the first question is no or the answer to the second is yes then this should work:

  • New AP3 Version Has Muted Colors when Using External Editor

    Hi All,
    I'm having a frustrating problem. I just noticed that files that I've edited using an external editor (PS5) come back to Aperture with significantly dulled colors. At first I thought it was something that PS was doing. Then, I realized that this was happening to the new versions created by Aperture even before the external editor was completely launched.
    Right when you select "edit with Adobe Photoshop CS5.app" Aperture creates a new version - right then I can see the colors being dulled/muted. I don't for the life of me know how to avoid this from happening.
    My export settings are:
    - 16 bit TIFF
    - DPI: 300
    - External editor color space: Adobe RGB (1998)
    Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm taking a look now. It's perplexing (to say the least).
    There is definitely a shift in the created-for-external-editor Version (I'm seeing the same color shift, almost exclusively in the middle- and high-tone cyans, but not quite to the same degree as you). I using my usual settings of 16-bit and "No Profile Selected".
    Although the shifted version shows in Aperture, it does not show in PS-CS5. In other words, the shift is somehow removed when the file is opening in PS. When the file is closed in PS, the shifted version remains in Aperture.
    The histogram is very different for the Versions in Aperture.
    The color values shown in the Loupe and in the color meter (which shows in the Info Pane at the top of the Adjustments tab of the Inspector) are +the same+ for the Versions, though the histograms are different and the images are dissimilar.
    I am seeing -- as best I can tell; it's clearly time to take notes -- inconsistent behavior. Sometimes a shifted Preview will not have a shifted full view. When I send a previously edited in PS Version back to PS, sometimes the shift disappears.
    If I have the time later I'll make a chart. I can confirm that something is amiss. I don't edit that many images in PS, but I still do so regularly, and I have never noticed this before. (My images are in general neither saturated nor blue, so it is possible that there has been nothing to notice in those images. I have some very blue JPGs which I may try.) My hunch, though, it that this will end up being traced to something in the RAW conversion done to captures made with this camera.
    *Anyone have any underwater RAW captures made with a camera other than a Nikon?*

  • Why does my airbook mac freeze when using external hard drive

    This is a recent development, my MacBook Air freezes when I attach my external CD drive and I have to do a hard restart (hold the power button till it turns off). This never use to happen. Any suggestions? Cheers!

    Hi
    Can anyone suggest what is happening and how to get around this? In worst case is there a way to move the files outside of imovie that will still allow them to be properly displayed within imovie?
    I don't think that it can be done that way - BUT I KNOW that it can be very destructive
    most probably end up as un-reparable.
    The move of projects and events - works so much better in iMovie'09

  • Mac Pro freezes when using external drives

    I have a 2009 imac 27 and a macbook pro. I do a lot of design work so I have started saving all my work to a time capusle with both computers linked up to it. This has been fine for all software used, final cut, adobe cs5 master collection, cinema 4d etc.
    My problem started when I got a mac pro. If I try to save directly to the time capsule I get the coloured "wheel of wait" and the software, eg illustrator shows 100% cpu usage and never drops back down. Eventually I can't do a thing.
    I installed cs6 onto the macbook pro and got the same thing.
    But, I also have the same problem if I try to put files on a usb stick from the mac pro, Finder goes to 100% cpu and stops responding or transfer stops about 8mb in and doesn't go any further and I cant stop the transferto  try again. It's there until I reboot. Sometimes it locks up the whole system.

    The Time Capsule is a horrible place to routinely save your files. Its drive is pathetic -- suitable only for backups, and the connection to it using USB2 is horribly slow.
    You have a Mac Pro now. Put another "real" drive in a bay there, and enable File Sharing. Save your files there. (Gigabit Ethernet with Jumbo frames recommended.)
    As long as you have an Apple Base Station hosting your network, you can even allow the Mac Pro to sleep and use "Wake on Demand" to wake it for Sharing.

  • Using external editor (PSE12), sometimes photos open on wrong desktop

    Using external editor (PSE12), sometimes photos open on wrong desktop. This is annoying and only happens 10-20% of the time. I then have to drag the photos to the desktop PSE is running in. Unfortunately I cannot find any pattern s to when this will happen. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

    Workflow-
    iPhoto 9.5.1 open in desktop 1
    PSE 12 open in desktop 2
    In iPhoto I select 4 photos, rt click on one of the photos, select edit external editor
    Most of the time the photos open in desktop 2, but 10-20% of the time they will open in desktop 1. I then show all the desktops (F3) and drag the photos to desktop 2.
    I can see there is going to be a lot of finger pointing (iPhoto vs OSX vs PSE) as to which piece of the operation is dropping the ball. iPhoto finds the 4 photos, opens them in PSE, but someone lost the desktop information. With that said, I think the iPhoto programers need to talk to the OSX programers to determine if the desktop information is being correctly passed. (I would guess that PSE assumes all PSE windows will be on the same desktop)
    As an aside, I can perform most of my PSE operations in desktop 1 using keyboard shortcuts.

    Thanks in advance -
    If you follow your plan, you will learn a lot and not be nearly so "new" to Mac. Here are my responses to your latest questions/statements:
    So i think i will try to make a clean Installation .
    In our jargon, a "clean" install means that you will erase your disk and individually reinstall your system and applications, and then restore your data files. This method is very thorough and will give you a pristine system, but it requires considerably more of your time and effort than other methods that may correct your problems.
    Easier alternatives are available for your consideration. Before you undertake a system reinstall, read the rest of this post and then study this document and the links in the document that are applicable to your problem and plans:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1388
    If you decide to reinstall your system, carefully consider your installation options:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545 (also applies to OS 10.6)
    As i am "new" into Mac - what will be the best way .
    "Best" can mean different things to different people. For example:
    • The method explained in the User Guide (manual) that came with your Mac is the easiest way.
    • The "Erase and Install" option from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545 is quicker to reinstall, but requires more work for apps and data after the OS is installed.
    • Archive and Install with the "Preserve user and network settings" option eliminates the need for reinstalling apps and reconfiguring network and other user settings by "preserving" these things during the OS reinstall. Unfortunately, it sometimes also preserves the problem that is causing your difficulty.
    • Secure erase before installing OS assures that NOTHING unwanted remains on your disk to cause problems after the reinstall. One pass of writing Zeros is sufficient for your purpose. Note that secure erase will take hours, depending on the size of your disk. The help article below applies to your 10.5&6 as well as the 10.4 it states,:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1011.html
    Perhaps easiest of all (as least for Time Machine users) is to use your Mac's Leopard Install DVD and your Time Machine backup to "Restore" your system to a configuration dated BEFORE you did the update that has caused your problems. This method will get you working quickly, but it will not help you use Snow Leopard. If you have not already figured out how to do this "Restore," see:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    The section entitled " Using Disk Utility" will help you use your Time Machine backup to take your entire system back to when Leopard was working. After it works again, either stay with Leopard, or uninstall or update whatever software is causing your Snow Leopard conflict before again updating to Snow Leopard.
    My questions - with what System CD i should start to make the clean install ? 10.5 or 10.6 ?
    Use Leopard Install CD if you want to backup to Leopard.
    Only use Snow Leopard if you want to try a fresh install of SL to see if you can get it working.
    And How ?
    Depending on your needs and whether you bought your Mac and SL update locally, and especially if your time is valuable to you, the best way may be to contact your retailer for an appointment so he can either help you or fix your problem for you. If you can use this as a training exercise, you will find it easier to do than to read and write about, and you can ask questions during the process. If you retailer does not consider proper installation of the SL software you bought from him to be part of his service, and if he offers "One to One", you may find it well worth your time and its cost:
      http://www.apple.com/retail/onetoone/
    If you have plenty of time, or if you merely like doing things for yourself, follow the instructions for the Disk you are using (or the instructions in the links I cite above if you want to try one of those methods.) Remember, you can try an easy/quick way first in case it works without all the manual effort on your part. If that fails to correct your problem, you are only out your time. You can try the next easiest way, and keep trying increasingly complex methods until you find the one that works for you.
    What Data will be lost - or is all backup with Time Machine like Photos ,......
    This answer varies depending on which method you use to restore your system or reinstall your OS:
    • NOTHING IS LOST when you Archive & Install
      (if you "preserve user and network settings" before installing)
    • EVERYTHING IS LOST when you secure erase.
    • Other methods may keep data but lose application or user configuration settings.
    (1) I use SL on two Macs and it work GREAT on both. I WANT to use SL because I like it MUCH better than Leopard.&ensp:You did not ask this, but here is how I would proceed to get SL working:
    ♦ Unless you already have it, I would make another, separate, backup of all important data in addition to the one you already have in Time Machine. One backup is not enough for me. In addition to your music, photos, and other data files, consider items like those listed here:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2980
    ♦ THEN, I would securely erase the startup disk and follow the instructions that came with the SL DVD to install SL. 
    ♦ Immediately after the restart that completes the install, I would use Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    ♦ Then configure your internet connection, and download and install the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo):
      http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
    ♦ Immediately after the restart that completes the Combo Update, repair permissions again.
    ♦ Once you have reinstalled SL, use  > Software Update... to update any other Apple software as needed. I repair permissions before and after any installer than asks me to enter my Administrator Password.
    ♦ Now you can test your iMac using http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 to verify that the problem is resolved. If your problem persists at this point, see your Apple Authorized Service Provider for professional help.
    ♦ You can restore your data files either now or after reinstalling third-party items.
    ♦ Now, you can reinstall necessary third-party software. Install only one item at a time and test thoroughly before adding another so you can tell if one of them is causing a problem.
    (2) If you would rather retreat to Leopard and not bother trying to fix SL on your Mac, the easiest fix will be to restore your Leopard system from Time Machine. You can then restore any data newer than your last working Leopard system from your backups.

  • My iMac freezes when using Firefox

    My iMac freezes when using Firefox. We have to restart our computer.

    TutorDaddy, if this Mac is still covered by the initial warranty or under AppleCare, take it in and have it looked at. As the old label used to say, there truly are "no user serviceable parts inside." Kernel panics very usually indicate failing hardware.
    I have an older iBook G4 that started developing kernel panics and like you, despite reinstalling the OS from a freshly formatted volume, they kept continuing. I looked at the crash log and saw that in each instance of panic, the last bit of code to be accessed had something to do with AirPort. Knowing that the AirPort software was at then current levels, I surmised the problem to be a bad AirPort networking card which, on that particular model of the iBook, was a very small module attached directly to the logic board. Since the computer was out of AppleCare, I broke the machine down myself (I didn't realize that there could be so many barely visible screws in one machine) and removed the offending piece of hardware. My iBook lives but without WiFi, it now sits as a more or less desktop machine needing an ethernet connection to stay connected to a network.
    I do not suggest you break into your iMac. First of all, I'm guessing one would need to be able to pull off the glass and have the necessary glue to reattach it, which is not really available to us consumers. If you're feeling adventurous enough to read the crash logs from each panic, you might be able to surmise the hardware component (or badly written application or library; it can happen) that's causing the panic. If it's a software issue, remove the offending software app and see if the panics return. If it's a hardware issue, it's best to let a competent service tech qualified on Apple hardware to handle it.
    [edited to add:]
    After browsing through related problems in the discussions, I saw this link to a third-party web site being handed out. Perhaps you'll find it useful: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

  • Windows 8 freezing when using Firefox

    When I'm using Firefox or Chrome browsers the whole entire PC is freezing.
    Already posted my issue on the Microsoft Community forum, where you can read the details and the troubleshooting steps I tried:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-networking/windows-8-freezing-when-using-chrome-or-firefox/d6bad301-6c55-4469-96cb-0ec3d43e1113
    Also I found another post here on the Mozilla forum, who had the same issue and he did not seem to solve it either: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975278?esab=a&as=aaq
    Please help me to fix this annoying issue! Thx!

    Well, the MS site was a bust, wasn't it?
    it would help to know how Firefox is configured.
    Can you send me your troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having issues? This is a good part in troubleshooting.
    *Navigate to <code>about:support</code> via Address Bar
    *Click the button that says <code>Copy text to clipboard</code>
    *Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
    Firefox has hardware acceleration set to "on" by default, but it's still young, which means some video cards or drivers might have problems with it. You can try to disable hardware acceleration to see if that alleviates your problems.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).

  • ORA-15072 when using external redenacy?

    Hello -
    I am getting ORA-15072 (command required at least one failure groups) when using external redundancy. I am using asmlib on Linux, and I have a feeling that it it a multipathing issue. Here are the output from some of my commands:
    [root@ctolinuxpoc01 init.d]# ./oracleasm listdisks

    Why would I be getting ORA-15072 with external redundancy (using asmlib)?
    Thanks in andvance!

    The header status is showing as "unknown"... Could this be part of the issue?
