Thumbnails in Bridge lost in files saved with AE CS6

On Windows I have some templates (aet) from AE 7 and CS3 that include thumbnails in the XMP, and Bridge CS6 shows these. If I open these templates in AE CS6 and save them out, no thumbnail is preserved/added to the XMP.
I looked through the preferences for AE CS6 and I can't find anything related to saving out previews/thumbnails in the XMP for a project or template.
Is there a setting that will allow me to get thumbnails in the XMP that I would see in Bridge? Was this a capability that was dropped some time between CS3 and CS6?
David Blake

I can contact my customer and see if he wants to contact you about his templates that have thumbnails.
The files I am testing with are from Adobe Exchange. The metadata in the file doesn't indicate who they are from or who created them. The thumbs are in the screenshot below.

Reader can't open file saved with "Extended Features"

Any help would be appreciated.
File created with Acrobat Pro 9.
File opens fine under Windows and Linux, but can't be saved.
Enable "Extended Features in Adobe Reader" in Acrobat Pro 9.
File can be saved under Windows, but gives an error in Linux.
"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of the document."
The file opens, but is unusable. Nothing can be entered into any of the fields.
Thanks,
-matt

I had the same problem earlier this week -- I created a PDF with Acrobat 9, enabled for commenting, sent out to coworkers, who then reported the "use of extended features is no longer available" message. After many, many troubleshooting permutations, I finally found the problem to be related to the timestamp on the file.
I am on the US east coast, and the document was sent to coworkers on the US west coast, 3 hours earlier. When they opened the document, it appeared to be "from the future" (lol) and therefore suspect. This was born out by the fact that the next day, the file behaved as expected for them. I also verified this on a test system, where I was able to switch the time setting. By the way, this happened with both Reader 8 and 9.
So, I guess the workaround is either to change your computer's time before sending a file with rights extensions to someone in an earlier time zone, or create it and hold it until they have caught up with the time in the file's timestamp.
That has to be about the weirdest bug I have encountered to date...and I have no idea why it showed up this week. I have been sending out PDFs enabled for commenting for a couple years.

Lost textedit files "untitled" with upgarde mountain lion. where does lion / mount.lion saves those files?

I probably lost some textedit files "untitled" with upgarde to mountain lion. where does lion / mountain lion saves those files?

Lane,
That latest raw update also shows supported devices. The EOS-1Ds is still shown as supported by Mountain Lion in the knowledge base article that accompanies it. Bump!
I wonder if using Disk Utility and verify/fix permissions may restore your RAW capability.
Don't have Aperture or Lightroom.
I installed the recent raw updates into 10.8.2. The DB5W2360.TIF file has a generic Preview icon. Graphic Converter 8.3.1 opens .cr2 files, and it opened this TIF file nicely as well. GC is willing to modify white balance with a condition that it cannot be done in place, and must be exported to a different format.
Not much help, I know.

Will CS7 files saved as legacy CS6 be ok re-saved as CS7?

Students who bought Creative Cloud are getting messages that their files (Id, with other CS linked files) won't open in CS6 here at the college. If they go home and save the files as CS6, work on them here, what are the consequences of them working on them again under CS7?

You may need some schooling on schooling. I can mention it to the Dean, but he's quite busy and this is not his department. This is a purchasing policy set at a level well beyond any academic's pay grade. We could make an adventure, or challenge, or crusade out of it, and I have on other similar issues, such as service contracts which are (perversely) required for hardware that is obsolete during the contract period.
The case at hand bears on a common accounting principle. Owning is an asset. Leasing is a liability. I love to go where everything is headed, unless it's up against a wall.
We taught on CS1 until last semester. Really. We finally got a grant to upgrade from CS1 and PPC Macs. It will be a long time before we upgrade again. That's typical of colleges, just ask.
The students can demand what they want, but they're glad (and at this point, lucky) to get into a class at all. Our college runs at >100% enrollment, with salaries frozen for years and no expansion of programs, including upgrades. The students graduate with crushing debt, so a one year rental contract is not something they want to sign up for, even if it costs less nine months after they've taken the class, a calculation I'm sure you'll understand. (They used to buy the CS Premium package through Adobe for $354 outright or get it ways we won't mention.) Economic reality really should play a part in Adobe's revenue model.

Cannot find .TIF file saved with Acrobat 9 Pro

I have a Canon document scanner that I use with Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows 7. I can scan the document into Acrobat, and save it as a PDF just fine. However, if I try to save it as a .TIF or a .TIFF, it appears to save just fine, but I'm unable to locate it afterwards. Here's what I've done so far:
- Checked to make sure hidden files are visible in Windows Explorer
- Made sure the permissions for the folder allowed writing files (even saved the TIF files to the same folder as the PDF files)
- Searched for the filename with Windows Search. It finds the file, but when I try to click on it to open the file, Windows says that the file cannot be found.
We're needing this for importing documents into a LIMS program, and we can't get that working until this part gets resolved. Anything that you can think of to help would be great. Thank you!

Solved: It appears to be a Microsoft Word issue as it doesn't occur with other apps. When using the built-in 'convert to PDF' tool within Word the file name length is respected. It's an older version of Word (Word 2002 SP3). I printed a file using the same name length with Wordperfect and it works fine.
I know this isn't a Word help forum, but if anyone does have a solution to offer it would be appreciated :-)

File Saving with Linked Images

Why does file saves take longer when images are linked (not embedded.) ? It's just linking to the file, it should be nice and quick to save, such as it is in inDesign.

You are probably saving using the default save options. This means Illustrator is saving the file twice in one file: once as a native Illustrator file and once as a high resolution PDF with images embedded. The PDF is used when you place the Illustrator file in InDesign or rasterize with Photoshop. If you don’t need either of those things, do a Save As and turn off PDF Compatibility. I have seen files drop from over 200 MB to under 1 MB.

Are INDD files saved with trial software good to go...

... with the purchased software I will receive later? I am anxious to get start converting PageMaker files, but do not want to waste time doing so if all my editing is not saved in files that can be used with the purchased software. Thank you.

They'll be fine.

Retreiving files saved with Time Machine on a different computer

I am trying to view files on my external hard drive that I saved from my Macbook Pro on an older Macbook that does not have Time Machine on it. Any folder I try to open is locked and I get a message saying it is empty. When I checked the backups on the original computer, they work fine. Is it possible to view these files on a different computer?

An older MacBook that doesn't have Time Machine would not know about hard links to folders. So, when you look in them, you don't see the linked files and thus it looks empty. TM uses hard links to keep track of files that have not changed. Somewhere, there is an actual file, but if it doesn't change, TM just puts a hard link in all the subsequent backups. Trying to dig through the backup, especially after changing permissions on the folder, will likely destroy the backup.
Perhaps one of the Finder replacements or Time Machine helper apps can understand the hard links to folders, but I'm not sure.

Project File Saving with FCPX

Former FCP7 user who last year switched over to Adobe Premiere Pro CC and considering coming back to Final Cut via FCPX.
MY PROJECTS: 100% AVCHD 24 to 35 mbps, from Canon DSLR's, Canon Camcorders, and GoPro Hero 4 Silver. Most videos are multicam of 3 or 4 cameras, sometimes up to 6 or 8 (although infrequent) with Audio captured on all cameras via on camera audio except camera 1 and/or camera 2 which will have XLR direct wired or wireless fed. All raw/project work will be on an external Thunderbolt Duo Raid Drive.
Q 1: Am I best to use a new generate MacPro 3.7 GHz with at least 16 Gb ram and dual FoxPro Vid cards with 2Gb vmem each OR will a iMac of similar speed processor i7 with same memory limit work?
Q 2: With Adobe Pr I was able to put all of a video project into one file folder, can I do the same with FCPX? That is, a single folder entitled PROJECT 1 with the following files in it:
     - Project file
     - Folder containing all the captured or raw footage (file based)
     - Folder with images
     - Render files
     - Any other files for that project
This idea being that once the project is created with all the scratch and other raw files into a single folder, the project could be off loaded onto portable drive and sent to another editor who in turn would copy the entire folder onto their Project Raid Drive, edit then off load to that same original portable drive, and then sent back to the original editor and/or another editor to follow the same process and continue the edit and/or wrap the project up and output into a NEW FOLDER within the same original folder.
Q 3: What would be suggested for DVD Authoring with menus and the like to produce near Hollywood style looking DVD functionality? I have Toast Titanium and now defunct (EOL) DVD Studio Pro and DVD Creator.
Thank you in advance to those who respond and help in this matter. My special priced CC subscription is running out in January and want to make a decision before then or will renew (although I don't really care for Adobe Pr CC.

FCP X with a recent iMac can do everything you want except the "Hollywood style“… DVD functionality. DVD's look good but menus and other authoring are very spartan. I'd suggest Encore remains your best bet.
In FCP X. rather than a folder with your project and assets, you would have a library with managed media (copy all your imports to the library).
Multicam projects are a strong suit.
Good luck
Russ

File saving with Frame 10

I can not save a file to the same location that I got it from. I get error messages saying: can't open the .lck file and 2. that I don't have permission and yet I can save other file formats perfectly well. I can save the FM files to a different location, for example my desktop.
I installed some Windows updates earlier on. I'm using WinXP SP3.
I'd like to know if there is a known reason for this?
Graham

You shouldn't be trying to open the .lck file - you should be opening the regular file and getting a message that someone is still working on it and if you know that no-one is, then you can override the warning. Your problem may also be that the file itself has gotten set to view-only within FM - you can reset it. Check the Help file or the forums for view-only - there are instructions out there for doing it (I just can't remember off the top of my head).

Lost data files, issue with re-capturing

I deleted a project yesterday and mailed the finals to the client. Apparently there was still something that needed to be fixed.
I've tried using a data restore program but it didnt do anything, so I opened up the last autosave.
I am trying to re-capture the clips but everytime i get to it, a box comes up saying the tape has reached the end even though i have even cued it up properly.
Any suggestions?

Why are my InDesign 6 files saving with Acrobat extensions

This has just recently started happening. Suggestions?

In terms of Adobe, an "extension" is something like a plugin or a script. Something you can manage in the Extension Manager. Are you sure you mean that?
And it most certainly did not happen without you taking any previous action to cause it, an action like system updates, software updates or wildly changing preferences.
Suggestions? One: restore your OS to a date prior to the first problem appearance and then leave it untouched.

File saved in Photoshop CS6 "incompatible" when opened on same computer?!

For the first time yesterday I saved 3 PSD files, (about 760Mb each, large flat 16bit background-only PSD's) and then have them refuse to open in the same version of Photoshop CS6, Windows 8/64, that they were just made in, an hour later. I just see the dialog warning that they are 'incompatible with this program' ?!
I don't understand how a file can be saved incompatibly with the program that saves it. Is this a bug? First time I've seen it, if so & do not use any other versions of Photoshop or any other machines for that matter. Am very confused why this happens.
Have reset compatibility mode to 'Always' (though I don't see why I should have to do this) and am hoping it doesnt go and happen on some critical save of another file. My hard drive Raid array is working fine, and I have never had a problem with storage, so its not a random hard drive error, as it happened 3 times in a row.
Saving the same file just now as a TIFF (it has no layers) gave no problem. Guess I'll avoid PSDs without layers for now.

Just to be absolutely sure, it's always a good idea to take a look in your Windows Event Log to see whether any new events have appeared.

File saving in Indesign CS6

I was just working on a file and saved it. Not only did it save to the folder where the file is located, it updated the backup file on a completely separate disc which I did not want. How do I prevent this from happening? Thanks.

How does the backup disk work? Do you have some sort of automatic backup system that scans your drives looking for modified files? That's the only way I can think of that a backup file would be modified.
To be sure old backup versions are protected in a situation like that, you should periodiocally (like as soon as you open a file, and at each major change point) do a Save AS to a new file that includes a version designation in the name.

File saving issues in CS6

I have recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6. After editing a jpeg, I try the Save As command and recieve this message...."could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory RAM"
I also notice that all my images are at 72 dpi, is this going to affect image quality? I shoot in the largest file possible when taking the photographs. Help, I feel like I no longer understand photoshop

You can do that no problem.
