Tags select rather than drag...

Updated from Elements 11 to 13 (on 64 bit Windows 7).  Using the Organizer to go through and catch up on tagging images (have about 30,000 total with about 60% tagged from earlier versions).  Anyway, when I click on a tag element to drag it to the image to tag it, the check-box checks off instead.  This of course filters all the images and if you un-check it your not left where you were and I have to go searching for my location again.   This happens about every third time I click on the tag to drag it.   My mouse is no where near the check-box but over the wording of the tag.  Often on the screen 2-3" away from the check-box!  I've watched my self very carefully with this and sometimes I'll click on the tag to drag and when I start to move the mouse to drag it then it selects the tag!   This sounds like a tiny thing but this is almost making it impossible to tag the way I've always done it before (drag and drop tags onto picture).   Sometimes I'll CTRL-click to select multiple tags to drag.  I'll click one ok then I'll CTRL-click on a second one... it checks the check-box and I'm tossed away from where I am as it then filters the images shown.   Is there anyway to stop this?   I've used Elements Organizer for years and never had this problem before.  It's extremely frustrating for me.  Thank you in advance for any help.

Thanks for the reply 99jon.  I know I don't need to filter.  That is the problem.   To drag a tag to an image you need to first click on the tag (press the left mouse button down without releasing it).  When I do that it selects (checks off) the tag and then of course filters what is displayed throwing me elsewhere in my collection.   I'm not clicking in the little white box.  I'm clicking on the tag image or tag name.  I've even made the tag area really wide so I'm clicking well away from the check-box.  And it still checks the check-box and filters the view.  Sometimes I'll click down on the mouse, it won't check-off and I'll think it's ok. Then when I drag the mouse over it THEN checks off and filters!   This makes this feature almost unusable for me.  Since it isn't being complained about here it must just be lucky me!   I was hoping there was an option of something to just eliminate the check-box when I'm doing a lot of tagging.

    Danny,
    Sure you csn. Don't be afraid to try this kind of stuff for yourself. If things don't work out, just Command-Z your way back to the previous state. In this case it should work just great. Once your multiple selection appears in Pages, click off the selected new objects to de-select them, then select them one at a time for positioning.

  • In Illustrator CS5, how can I scale down the length of each line in a selection rather than the selection as a whole?

    For example, suppose that I have selected the three lines in the image A below.  From a right-click > Transform > Scale... > Uniform (70%), I can produce B.  However I would like to produce C, in which each line is scaled down by 70%.  (Of course, I could do this by selecting and scaling down each line individually.  However my images have thousands of lines, so an individual approach is not really feasible.)

    Go to Object > Transform > Transform Each, then in the Scale section set both Horizontal and Vertical to 70 %.
    Edit: Of course, you must first select the lines that you want to scale!

  • JAXB looking for tag type rather than tag name?

    Hi everyone.
    I'm trying to use JAXB to load an xml file, [http://www.unimod.org/xml/unimod.xml|http://www.unimod.org/xml/unimod.xml] . The schema is at [http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd|http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd] . I generate my classes using xjc with no problems. My unmarshalling code is simple enough:
    try {
        JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[] {UnimodT.class});
        Unmarshaller um = ctx.createUnmarshaller();
        return (UnimodT) um.unmarshal(is);
    } catch (JAXBException ex) {
    }At first I got an exception saying that unimod (the top-level tag) is unexpected and that the expected element is (none). I solved this by adding the @XmlRootElement tag into my UnimodT class. Now I am getting a javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException :
    "unexpected element (uri:"http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2", local:"unimod"). Expected elements are <{http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2}unimodT>"
    I am guessing this means that it is looking for a <unimodT> tag while the actual tag name is <unimod>.
    This is how the xml file starts:
    <umod:unimod xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2 http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2/unimod_2.xsd" majorVersion="2" minorVersion="0">
        <umod:elements>
              ....and here is the fragment from the xml schema defining the root element:
         <xs:element name="unimod" type="umod:unimod_t">Other guesses I am having are:
    1) Maybe I should do something with the namespace, "umod"?
    2) The underscore in the type name is confusing xjc?
    Please help if you can. I am guessing it is something simple but I have no idea what.

    I seem to have solved my problem by adding the namespace and name of the tag on the XmlRootElement annotation:
    @XmlRootElement(name="unimod",namespace="http://www.unimod.org/xmlns/schema/unimod_2")however I still don't understand
    1) why it's not enough to specify the name of the tag in the @XmlType annotation
    2) why the @XmlRootElement tag was not specified automatically
    I guess I should just be happy that it works now.

  • I have a file where I store my download music. When I click on "add music" to my ipod my music file opens, but rather than have to drag one song at a time to my ipod, how do I copy the entire file at once to my ipod. - steve

    Hi - I have a file where I store my downloaded music. When I plug in my ipod and click on "add music" my file appears. Rather than drag one song at a time, how can I download the entire list at once? - steve

    I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes.  I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format.  However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there.  I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC.  I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.

  • Automator searching labels rather than tags

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with automator since labels changed to tags.
    I have a few different tags on each file which I'll call Tag A, Tag B, Tag C, and Tag D. Tag A and Tag B are both orange, Tag C is yellow, and Tag D is blue.
    If I have a file that should be Tag A and Tag D so I tag it with both tags. The file shows up like this:
    When I use tags in finder it shows up in both Tag A and Tag D.
    In automator if I search for Label = Orange it shows up, but when I search Label = Blue it doesnt show up.
    My first question is can I search by tag instead of label in automator? Either using a plugin or script?
    My second question is can I search for Tag A rather than Tag B? I say that because they are both orange but are distinguished by the tag name. What I usually do is search for Label = Orange and Any Content = Tag A.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Connor

    Not for you, but for other users who need the answer (so please do not use my answer )
    Use boolean operators (i.e. Tag:Green OR tag: Grey  NOT Tag:Blue)
    For multiple tagged files use: Tag:Green AND Tag:Gray
    mdfind can also be used:

  • Is there a way to snap cut/edited portions together on the same track rather than manually having to drag them together?

    Is there a way to snap cut/edited portions together on the same track rather than manually having to drag them together?  To elaborate, if I have a 3 minute track of raw audio and I edit out the middle 30 seconds of it I am left with two tracks with a "30 second" area that has no file.  To join them manually I can click and drag one portion of the audio until I match it with the other section but instead, is there a shortcut or function that I could select that automatically marries up the cut portions of the track, thereby eliminating the 30 second gap?

    Yes: hold the control key while deleting (or select "delete and move" from the Edit menu.)

  • Double clicking brings up selection box rather than highlighting words

    This is a bit of a trivial problem but it's making my editing quite difficult. I'm using Acrobat X 10, with Windows 7.
    Normally when I double click on some text, the word that I am double clicking on will become highlighted. This continues to be the case except for in one specific pdf document: now double clicking opens a selection box rather than highlighting text. If I single click I can highlight whatever text I want, but double clicking no longer highlight a particular word. This is very incumbersome for my annotating/highlighting technique. It only happens with this one pdf, any other pdf and the selection tool is back to normal.
    Any idea why this is happening for this one particular pdf, but none of the others, or any way that I can make it highlight words via double clicking again?
    Edit: On further inspection, the problem seems to be that for this particular document, acrobat reader cannot detect specifc words, only individual characters. When I highlight a sentence, normally the text highlighted would naturally jump to the end of the word, but here it will only start/stop where I begin and end dragging the cursor. I have used the Recognise Text tool, but this did not fix the problem as it said it had already recognised the text throughout the document.             

    Can you use the "Prompt" section of the Property Palette instead and leave Label as null. Prompts can be aligned to the left, but, without trying it in Forms 4.5, am unsure about your highlight issue.

    Thank you for this.
    I have been messing around with this last few days, and i really love the feature to pinpoint the validation errors on map.
    I has always been so annoying to try pinpoint these errors using some other GIS software while doing your sql.
    I have stumbled to few bugs:
    1. In "Validate geometry column" dialog checking option "Use DimInfo" actually still uses value entered in tolerance text box.
    I found this because in my language settings , is the decimal operators
    2. In "Validate geometry column" dialog textboxs showing sql, doesn't always show everything from long lines of text (clipping text from right)
    3. In "Validate geometry column" dialog the "Create Update SQL" has few bugs:
    - if you have selected multiple rows from results and check the "Use Selected Geometries" the generated IN-clause in SQL with have same rowid (rowid for first selected result) for all entries
    Also the other generated IN clause in WHERE-clause is missing separator if you select more than one corrective function
    4. "Validate geometry column" dialog stays annoyingly top most when using "Create Update SQL" dialog

  • Can i share existing albums of photos from my photo library with friends straight to icloud rather than having to create a new shared folder and then select the individual photos rather than a whole album??

    Ok to clarify -
    1. i want to go into my photos on my iphone 6.
    2. create a new folder in shared folders.
    3. Add an entire album of photos from my photo library rather than having to select individual photos.
    4. Share with friends.
    Surely the reason i have saved certain photos into albums already from my mac means i like the selection already. So i would like to just share the whole album rather than having to select all the individual photos from the album. Ive tried but maybe im being a doofus and missing something??????
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    thank you in advance
    Kris

    This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
    There are NOT duplicate photos.
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  all  photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
    It is working exactly as it should.

  • Is there a way to select MULTIPLE tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs and titles/or URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; However, I prefer to use a Firefox feature rather than download an add on. Thanks.

    Currently, I can copy ONE tab's url and nothing else (not its name). Or I can bookmark all tabs that are open. However, I'd like to have the ability to select multiple tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs AND their titles/or copy ALL of the URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; when I download the add on, I get a message saying that using the add on will disable Firefox's tab features. I prefer to use Firefox features rather than download and use an add on. Is there a way to do this without an add on?

    Hi LRagsdale517,
    You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

    Hi, I was trying add a second computer on iTunes Match.
    I was signed into iTunes on both machines with a single ID which already has iTunes Match from the primary machine. When I selected iTunes match on the second, it asked me to subscribe to it again rather than add.
    To try to fix this, I signed out of the primary machine and so i was only in the second computer.  This didnt work and when i tried to log back into Match on the primary machine it has the same problem now, asking me to buy iTunes Match when I already have it!
    Now I've got it on neither machine- can someone please help!!
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    You often get this message when match thinks that you already have a match in progess on another computer.
    If you are happy that all your music is on your new hard drive (or if it is only in the cloud), you should select "this computer".

  • How can i have bookmarks automatically in a new tab rather than the tab i am in when i select a bookmark?

    How can I get book marks to automatically open in a new tab rather than the tab I am in when I select the bookmark?

    It would be good if this was made a user-defined Option (Tools -> Options -> Tabs) in the next update of Firefox rather than having to install an add-on. I currently keep Firefox open to view my Accuweather.com add-on running or because I know that I will be returning to Firefox in short order. (I do close Firefox if I have visited a sensitive or secure site to ensure better security.) Every time I want to go to a bookmark, I must open a new "(Untitled)" tab before selecting my bookmark using the keyboard (I'm a dedicated keystroker; it's much faster for me). This way, when I close the website, I have an "(Untitled)" tab displaying so that Firefox doesn't close. Why can't I set an Option parameter that will result in me not having to go through this? Alternatively, allow users to set an option to keep Firefox loaded and open in the event only one tab is open and maybe if only one Firefox application window is running (I avoid having more than one Firefox window open as much as possible). I've addressed this last issue in the past but have seen no change when one closes the last tab in a Firefox window. As general practice, I would think that Firefox would run better if options, like I have described above, were part of the Firefox application code and not given to needing an add-on which may cause instability in Firefox as they have in the past, even with author verification and certification.

  • Can't select more than ONE conditional text tag in FrameMaker 10?

    Hi, I work with lots and lots of Conditional Text (CT) tags in FrameMaker. We moved to v10, and now I can't select more than ONE CT tag at a time---this means when I need to apply 10 CT tags to one item, I have to select the item, click one tag, click In, and then click Apply---3 clicks, 10 separate times = 30 clicks! (I used to be able to select the item, select all the CT tags I wanted applied into the In box, and then click Apply.) This is very frustrating. I've tried to click all the Ctrl, Shift, and Alt keys separately and then try and select more than one tag, but nothing works. Please help---this is going to be a nightmare for me if this can't work!
    Please help and show me that I can add more than one tag to an item at a time. Thanks so much!!!

    Unfortunately, this capabiliy wasn't carried over to the Conditional Text pod when the new interface design was created. You're stuck selecting the tags one at a time and then applying a condition. It's a bit faster if you select the conditions sequentially, then you have fewer clicks for applying subsequent tags to the same content.
    I fully agree that this sucks.

  • Sorting files by file name rather than ID Tags

    Some of my files have incomplete or missing ID Tags ( a lot of mp3's from vinyl) making sorting more difficult and I typically find it more usefull to sort by file name rather than ID Tag anyway. Does anyone know how to sort by file name?

    Aloha!
    While this is not possible in iTunes right now, I might be able to help.
    It sounds like you've taken care to ensure that your music is properly labeled. That should make it easy to use a third party app to tag the lot as a batch. I am aware of one application that folks around here seem to like called "Tag & Rename" that can build a set of tags for you from folder and file names. I believe it has (or had) a free demo period as well. Try a google search or check out sites like versiontracker and you will find several apps that can do the task for you.
    Once done, iTunes will be able to handle the collection that has apparently been with you for some time. Hope this helps you decide on a course of action.
