Swatches UI Broken from cs5

I was hoping this might get fixed in CC, but it didn't:
Using pantone swatches in list view is much worse than in CS5. there is a lot of wasted space to the left of the colors, and the names cut off way too early.
This is one of those features that was not ported well to the new interface, and I would really like to see it go back to how it was in CS5, where it was possible to read all the names of all the colors.
I don't understand how anyone working in QA could look at this panel and be ok with it, but it's been pretty much useless for over a year now.

I tried trashing many preference files, but I guess I could not find the correct one. Command-Option-Control-Shift while starting did the trick. I didn't know about that shortcut. (Good to know for some because Apple is hiding the Library > Preferences file these days.) And, my Workspaces are still there. Great!

    The data of CS5 was created at another PC. I installed Cloud version into two different PC. One has had the site data since dreamweaver CS5 and it works correct in Cloud version. Another PC got the site data from remote server and it doesn't work correct. <navi> and linked image are broken.

    This implies your site is not properly defined in DW.  Go to Site > Manage Sites.
    Or simply go to your other installation of DW and export the site definition file from Manage Sites.
    Save it to a flash stick or other removable drive.  Then import the STE file into your 2nd installation of  DW.

    I recently loaded OSX mavericks on my Imac. I now find I cannot open any Adobe products from CS5. The error message reads " to open Adobe illustrator CS5.app, you need to install a JAva SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check and install one? I try to install but get the error" download error". As far as i know I'm using Adobe Java 7. None of my CS5 suite works anymore............and i really dont want to upgrade to a monthly cloud service fee as i hate this policy with a passion.

    This goes for Dreamweaver CC on Mavericks!!!!! THANK YOU!
    I couldn't launch Dreamweaver CC. An error told me to install "java se 6 runtime". But when I clicked  OK I got another error telling me there is a network problem! I found this forum post on CS6 products, so I tried the download link, installed java 6 and presto, it worked! Thanks!

  • Upgrade paths from cs5 to cs5.5

    Hello,
    I just got off the phone with customer service. I upgraded from CS4 to CS5 in late December. I would like to upgrade InDesign from CS5 to the 5.5 version. I was told this isn't an option because I own the suite.
    This perplexes me since I have purchased many, many single items from Adobe in the past--from Pagemaker 3 pretty much on. Is it really true that once I went to CS2 I abandoned my rights to upgrade individual products?
    It seems a bit unreasonable, after spending $600 at the end of last year, that now, three months later, I need to spend another $400 just to update one program. Am I missing something?
    I am posting here because the representative I spoke with had a really, really hard time understanding English and I'm not sure he even got my question. It took him over a half hour just to find my account and verify that I had a registered version of Design Premium. He told me that part of the problem was that I have purchased so many Adobe (and Macromedia) products over the past 15 years that I now have four accounts and that it was not possible to consolidate all my software under one single account. This also sounds very odd. HELP!
    Thanks!

    I looked into crossgrading. The whole thing was a comedy of errors. My new custom built super-charged PC developed an un-diagnoasable software error, and then got stolen after being sent in for repaired. At the time, it seemed like my best option was to start the migration from Windows, buy a Mac laptop, get software to run on it, yet still keep my Windows options open in case the PC was found. I was using a backup PC to keep work on schedule.
    I used one of my Macromedia cross-platform suite products to upgrade to the Mac CS3 suite. So it wasn't as expensive as it could have been. In hindsight, yes, I should have just abandoned the PC and crossgraded. But I was very fearful after all the computer issues I had encountered that I would have problems with one or the other of the two computers and I felt I needed some redundancy just to ensure I didn't have more downtime.
    I'll look through the Adobe site for a license transfer form. When I called several months ago, the agent, made it sound like these were very difficult to come by. Or perhaps, the agent just didn't know. I've ran into this several times with Adobe. One agent tells you one thing, another says something entirely different. Customer service is lacking in my opinion.

  • Photoshop CS6 issue with shortcuts and my keyboard after upgrade from CS5

    I recently upgraded from CS5 Extended to CS6 Extended on my Mac (Mavericks), but installed it in English instead of German this time. I transferred most of my presets just fine, but none of the keyboard shortcuts were working. All I got was an unequal sign for all shortcuts and even manually changing them didn't get them to work. I found a few discussions about this issue and ended up adding a German keyboard, as I am always on the Romaji setting of my Kotoeri (Japanese) keyboard. That seemed to solve the issue, but only if I change to the German keyboard before opening Photoshop. Shortcuts don't work in CS5 anymore either unless I do. Sometimes the shortcuts also stop working a while after I change back to the Kotoeri keyboard.
    Now I would like to know if there is any way to get around this issue. Isn't there a way to get my shortcuts working again without constantly having to change keyboards? I much prefer the Kotoeri one since the icon for the German keyboard in my menu bar looks extremely obnoxious, in my opinion. It's mostly a cosmetic thing to me, but I would love to get everything back to the way it was before.
    I'd much appreciate any advice or help.

    I am having a similar problem. Just upgraded to Apple Yosemite and all none of my keyboard shortcuts are working in a clean install of Photoshop CS6. Every menu item has some form of the ≠ sign. I've trashed the .plist file, rebuilt permissions, etc. Even basic keyboard commands, like Command-N for NEW or Command-Q for QUIT do not work. In fact, many don't show up in the menu at all. I don't have this issue in InDesign CS6 or Illustrator CS6. Every once in awhile, maybe 1 time out of 20, menus and keyboard shortcuts work properly, but I can't find any pattern.

  • Mini Bridge Layout Changes from CS5.5 to CS6

    I recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6 on my work PC and I noticed a real annoying change with the layout of the Mini Bridge, specifically in InDesign. I was really hoping (and praying) that there would be a way to get the layout back to the way it was in CS5.5. 
    When the Mini Bridge is open the way it used to be was split at the top with the left side with favorites and the right side with a file navigator. The favorites portion was always there and did not disappear when you clicked on a folder, rather it just loaded the file list up in the bottom portion of the window. I REALLY miss that. Now in CS6 there is a drop down bar that is a pain to use and navigate through and when you click on the favorites (or any other option) it loads into the only navigation bar when you click on a folder it does not display the folders inside of it, instead just files in the folder.
    Is there any way to get the Mini Bridge back to the original way? Is there an option I can click to get it to display the favorites list at all times and go back to the way it worked in CS 5.5?
    Adobe CS 5.5 mini Bridge - <a href="http://dsmy2muqb7t4m.cloudfront.net/tuts/000_2010/347_a_look_inside_indesign_cs5/t2 8.jpg"><a href="http://dsmy2muqb7t4m.cloudfront.net/tuts/000_2010/347_a_look_inside_indesign_cs5/t2 8.jpg"><span class="mceItemHidden"><a href="http://dsmy2muqb7t4m.cloudfront.net/tuts/000_2010/347_a_look_inside_indesign_cs5/t2 8.jpgPlease">http://dsmy2muqb7t4m.cloudfront.net/tuts/000_2010/347_a_look_inside_indesign_ cs5/t28.jpg</span> Please
    Please Help!

    I've found mini bridge is unusable when it is docked. If you float it then favorites is on the left.
    Sounds like you are describing the docked version:

  • Migrating settings, actions, plug-ins etc. from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud)

    Hi,
    I wondered if someone could help me with the transition from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud). I'm on a Mac with Mountain Lion.
    I would like to migrate as many settings (i.e. workspaces where relevant), personal Photoshop actions, plug-ins (i.e. Type DNA, FontShop [Photoshop], Scriptographer [Illustrator] and Blurb Template Creator [InDesign]) as possible from CS5 to CS6. What is the easiest and smoothest way to do this?
    Some settings, actions and plug-ins might not work with CS6, I don't know. I can't find where my Photoshop actions are archived atm.
    Can I import extensions from Adobe Extension Manager CS5 to Adobe Extension Manager CS6?
    Should I uninstall all CS5 apps? I'd like to keep InDesign CS5 for backwards compatibility at least.
    Does Audition completely replace Soundbooth? What about Flash Catalyst, Device Central and OnLocation?
    Edit: I have already installed all the Creative Cloud applications btw. But I haven't uninstalled any CS5 apps yet.
    Thanks,
    Eivind

    Hi Elvind,
    I would suggest keeping both CS5 and CS6 versions on the system until you are fully transitioned, longer if you want. When you launch Photoshop CS6 it will ask you if you want to import settings from the prior version. Third party plug-ins may or may not be compatible between versions so you might need to check with the manufacturer to find out. You would most likely need to reinstall any third party plug-ins that integrate into existing Adobe product installations though.
    I found this document for Photoshop CS6
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preset-migration-photoshop-cs6.htm l
    For the PS actions, I normally open the actions panel, highlight the actions set (folder) I wanted to migrate, from the flyout menu of the panel choose the option to save the set, this creates the .atm file. There is another option for importing actions in the same menu.
    I can't speak to migrating in relation to the other products. I would recommend posting in the respective product forums.

  • Multiple problems installing upgrade from CS5 Design Prem. to CS6 Design Prem.

    I had started a thread a few days ago regarding problems that I was having while installing my upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design Premium.  Everything seemed to install fine with the exception of Acrobat X Pro.  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4716847#4716847
    I thought that I had resolved the issue through tech support, but apparently not.  First of all, they had me install the trial version of Acrobat X which actually let me install with no errors. A couple of days passed and Acrobat asked if I would like to continue my trial or enter a serial number. I tried to use my serial that came with my upgrade but it rejected it, so I opted to continue the trial.  Then earlier today as I was working in InDesign, upon launching I got a script error message.
    Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS6\Flash\Flash-12.0.jsx
    Line 153: if( app.name = = flashAppname && (module.name = = 'DefaultScript' II module.name = = 'Flash'))
    Cannot open resource file.
    After clicking OK it seemed to open InDesign fine and I was able to open files and go about working. While working I noticed that I had no effects in the dropdown menu under 'Object'. Tried the shortcut for them and nothing happened.  I have yet to try to open any files containing effects (drop shadow or something) but am guessing that they will not work. My next course of action was to try to Uninstall and Re-Install. I removed CS6 and Acrobat X Pro from my computer and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner program. Then instead of installing the upgrade from the DVD, I decided to download the program from the Adobe LWS and give that a go thinking that maybe the download files are more up-to-date than the DVD that I recieved.  Now it seems I am back to square one with the same problems (InDesign missing 'Effects' and who knows what else, and Acrobat X Pro failed to install), but this time I have diffent errors on the "error summary file" that shows up as a link in the "Installation Complete" dialog box. Sorry for being windy, but I really need to get this resolved. Thanks for any and all input.  PC is Dell Precision T3500 running Windows 7 and is current on it's updates.

  • Some Photoshop issues after upgrading from CS5 Master to CS5.5 Master

    Hello
    I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to the Adobe stuff. Not so with PC's
    Win 7 SP1 x64 8G RAM etc etc...
    I have a CS5.5 Master License and it is the update from CS5 that has thrown a wrench into my works.
    I had CS5 MAster Collection happily running along; no problems. I decided to buy the CS5.5 upgrade and I installed it in place.... that is, on top of the CS5 stuff.
    Now I have Photoshop problems;
    1.  The upgrade did not over-write my PS 5 directory... it created a PS5.1  Directory. D'oh! No plugins in PS5.1!! Not what I expected at all. I  just wanted it to upgrade. Is it normal for Adobe products to do this (the answer seems to be yes)  and if so how do I get my plugins in the new version? It's kind of a  pain... I have a lot of photoshop plugins... What do most users here do? Uninstall old versions first? Change the "plugins" path? I don't require the older version of PS5 on my hard drive... but now the plugs are in PS5 and the OS opens PS5.1... whoops!
    2. My  Photoshop printing broke in both versions 5 and 5.1. I am just using an  Epson 3880 and when I try to print in PS I get a message to the effect  that the printer is no longer available (it is) and it's the wrong  profile... trouble is... the Printer menu item then becomes greyed  out... I can't change anything. Can't fix. Does that ring a bell with anyone? This seems to be related to the upgrade. My Lightroom 3.x still prints the exact same photo with the same profile and printer just fine.
    So.... If  anyone can shed some light on these two specific issues I would really  appreciatte it! and with so many pieces (it is a huge Suite) would I be better  off un-installing CS5 and then installing CS 5.5? What are the hardcore  adobe users thoughts on best practices for upgrades?
    Thanks a ton! -- David

    1. Yes, Adobe apps always install in new folders.
    2. Try the Photoshop forum for Photoshop specific questions.
    Most of the apps weren't really upgraded. The .1 releases just added CS services as far as I know.
    I just built a new machine and installed InDesign CS5 and then installed the CS5.5 Master Collection. Your needs may vary.

  • Sending colour swatches TO kuler from illustrator

    Hi Does anyone know how to send colour swatches TO kuler from illustrator and photoshop. I can send from Kuler to these applications fine. But am yet to discover a way to send a swatch I have made in say illustrator up to the the Kuler app. Im probably missing something real obvious, any help would be greatly appreciated ;-)

    There is no direct way to send a swatch from Illustrator to Kuler.

  • How to create a ZXP from CS5 throughout CC2014 using ucf.jar

    Hi everybody,
    I use a maven build to generate a ZXP from CS5 throughout CS6 for InDesign. Now, I wish to add CC and CC 2014 to this ZXP, so that I have an universal ZXP for all my supported versions.
    I use the ucf.jar to generate my current ZXP. I have tried adding CC and CC2014 to my mxi to be able to install on these versions.
    The ZXP generate well, and can be installed without signaling any error in the installation. But when I launch InDesign CC 2014 for example, my native plugins behave strangely.
    I have noticed in technical notes about UCF that the mentioned versions are up to CS6:
    Adobe Exchange
    I have seen other technical notes talking about ZXPSignCmd to package a ZXP, but with do not mention anything about a supported version:
    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/SigningTechNote_ CC.pdf
    I have tried packaging my extension with UCF, but InDesign CC 2014 seems not to work well with installed extension once installed. I have noticed the symbolic links contained within installed plugins where replaced by the pointed file of the link.
    I have tried packaging my extension with ZXPSignCmd, but Extension Manager CS6 tells me the ZXP does not contain any valid signature.
    Is there no mean to create an universal ZXP working on all these versions?

    Hi everybody,
    I had the chance to talk to Fraser Gregor, developer at Adobe involved in ZXPSignCmd tool development. He told me it was impossible to generate such a ZXP this way.
    UCF.jar is a tool for InDesign CS6 and earlier. ZXPSignCmd has been designed for CC and latter versions. The solution he proposed me was having a ZXP for any version under CS6, and a ZXP for any version latter than CC. Then, he told me to have a wrapper ZXP to contain both of them. Following this way, I can have an universal ZXP.
    It is a little more work, but this should work. To create the universal ZXP, we can use ZXPSignCmd.

  • Copy and paste from CS5.5 to CS6 help

    I work at a newspaper and we recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6.
    When I open my CS5.5 documents to copy and paste type it shows up like a graphic in CS6.
    If I make a text box and paste the type into it, it is unformatted.
    If I copy and paste an image from CS5.5 and paste it into my CS6 InDesign document it appears, but not as a linked file.
    Why would this be different now with CS6? It is really a hinderance considering we use parts of ads over and over again in the newspaper industry.
    Thank you for the help.

    Hi there.
    I haven't upgraded to CS6 yet, but I'm having this very problem with InDesign CS5.5. If I copy and paste the box in InDesign - vector or text - it pastes as an image. If I copy/cut selected text with text tool - even if it's copying and pasting in the SAME text box - it pastes unformatted. This happens across all documents, but most irritatingly when working in the same InDesign document.
    Checked all preferences in InDesign and even cross referenced it with another Mac with the same version, but every setting was the same. Adobe won't help unless it's CS6 annoyingly, well they will if I pay!
    Other than removing and reinstalling the whole package, I can't think of what else to do!

  • Preinstalled filters from CS5 not showing up in CS6 upgrade

    I just installed CS6 upgrade from CS5 but the Nik and Topaz software filters are not showing up.  How do I get CS6 to recognize them without having to reinstall all of them again.

    How do I get CS6 to recognize them without having to reinstall all of them again.
    You don't. The behavior is as it always has been - Adobe apps never migrate legacy plug-ins and content to avoid compatibility issues. and you will probably need updated vertsions for CS6, anyway.
