Touchscreen monitor Windows 7 doesn't scroll library grid?

A big bummer that in the library grid mode (or any other scrollable part of lightroom) I can't scroll with my touchscreen monitor like I can in IE or Chrome or Word etc.?? What is touchscreen compatible in lightroom? I would love for lightroom to be touchscreen friendly.

When using Windows 7 built-in touchscreen/tablet functionality with a multi-touch compatible monitor, most larger popular programs will let you scroll vertically by just sliding your finger up or down anywhere within the active window, just like an ipad to scroll up or down. You don't have to use the scroll bars on the edge of the window which makes it nice to work through web pages, pdf files, word files etc. Lightroom 3's library grid scrolls up and down, BUT you cant just finger slide up or down within the window area like most other programs, you have to resort to using the default small scroll bars on the side of the grid (which are too small for finger-touch sliding. thus killing the functionality of the touchscreen monitor).
I am slightly hand impaired from doing tons of mousework but can work through many pages by touch. I know that lightroom is not built as a "touch-enabled" program (most aren't) but I was hoping, at least, the scrolling functionality that works with most others would work with lightroom.
I own an Acer t231h 23" HD monitor with multi-touch capability with windows 7 64bit running an Intel I5 with 8gbs Ram, with a second 23" Dell monitor. The acer monitor lays at 30degrees on my table and so I can stand over it and easily take care of business (still using mouse for 50% of work).

Can I attach a Touchscreen monitor to my W530 laptop to use with Window 8?

I purchased a W530 laptop with WIndows 8. Can I attach an external touchscreen monitor to use the Windows 8 touchscreen feature? I was told by tech people, in office stores, that it wouldn't work becasue Windows 8 looks at your primary display and see it isn't a touchscreen and turns of that feature during bootup. Thanks for the advice in advance.
Solved!

Touchscreen monitors for Windows 8 ?

I have a hp desktop and monitor and was wondering if HP will be releasing a touchscreen monitor for windows 8. They did a TS monitor afew years ago but discontinued it.
If windows 8 if designed more for this hands-on approach, i would think all manufacturers would start producing touchscreen monitors. I understand you can buy all-in-ones, but not everyone wants or has one of these.

Currently, HP and many other manufacturers have touch screen monitors for sale. Support for Windows 8 should be native in many cases or require a driver download when available.

(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Windows 8 + external touchscreen monitor + Adobe Reader full screen = disaster

when you touch a full screen Reader document, it goes out of full screen mode, no matter where you touch it... why?

Can you give more details about your environment? What kind of PC/device are you using, what kind of touchscreen monitor? And what do you mean by "goes out of full screen mode"? What behavior are you seeing exactly?

Lightroom 5.2RC Screen Flicker in Library Grid Mode

Hi,
Having a screen flicker problem since 5.cRC came out, but only in Library/Grid mode when scrolling or selecting from the grid. But only when there are more images than can fit on one page in the grid.
Seems to use an unusually low amount of memory with nothing else running on the system.

I've been having the exact same problem with Lightroom 5.2. I also have an Nvidia card, a GeForce GT 610, and driver version 327.23. One additional part of the problem is that I can hear almost constant disk access when in grid view mode in the library module. That seems to be related to Lightroom refreshing the display as I scroll down through the images. On newly imported images, it takes about two seconds for each thumbnail to just display the keyword symbol in the lower right corner. After the first time scrolling through all the images, it goes a bit faster. Even then, CPU usage goes up to 80% just by selecting a new group of files.
It almost seems like something is making it take a long time to build each thumbnail and sync all the information that's associated with that thumbnail before it will let you do any other work with it. I don't think it's really associated with the dislay driver. I never had this problem with LR 4.4, it's just since I upgraded. I also never had an ealier version of LR 5; I went right to 5.2 from 4.4.

My Finder window doesn't display properly after drag & drop

When I do a drag/drop - maybe to add a mail attachment or insert a picture into Powerpoint - the Finder window changes/freezes in that it I can no longer scroll up or left - any ideas what might be going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Cannot move photos via drag and drop (library grid view)

I've seen several adobe tutorials and youtube videos that show moving photos or folders by drag and drop in the library grid view. I cannot get it to work.
Steps:
1. Mousedown on a photo (not the frame) in the grid
2. Drag the mouse to a folder in the "Folder" pane (left of the grid)
3. Mouseup on the destination folder
Results:
Nothing happens. The mouse cursor doesn't change from the arrow. There is no indication I can drag and drop. The photos are not moved.
The photos are stored on a NAS. Of course I can move them around via Windows Explorer, but I want to do this from inside LR4 for obvious reasons. From LR4, I can create new folders, but I still cannot move photos into those folders. I also tried creating a new folder on a local drive. Again, I was able to create the folders, but was not able to move any photos into the folder.
What else can I do to toubleshoot this issue?

I created a new catalog. Imported a folder on my C drive, created a subfolder, and successfully moved photos into the subfolder.
I tried the same steps in my original catalog and now I can move all photos (including those on my NAS). I've been at this for 3 hours. I have no clue why it is working now, but I guess I'm happy. Now, it shows the stack of photos when I try to drag and drop.
I even reverted to my original preferences file (that I backed up before deleting) and I'm still able to move the files. Really strange.

A trick to scrolling in grid view?

The mouse wheel only seems to be intermittently successful at scrolling the grid. Sometimes I have to scroll up and down and wait for the grid to "catch" I know the three dots indicate that the preview isn't loaded, but even after that i continue to have issues. Scrolling on the bar immediately to the right of the grid doesn't help, nor does holding down the mouse wheel. Sometimes it seems to go back [up] but refuses to go forward [grid moving down] Would it help to dump all the smart previews that it's unlikely I will use? If so, how is that done?

Just to confirm. You are experiencing this issue while scrolling thumbnails in the Library Grid area as below, correct?
Two things to try next:
1) If your Intuos Pro S is connected "wireless" connect it via a USB cable, charge the battery for 60 minutes or more and then try using it with the USB cable.
2) Find a folder with 50-100 image files that exhibits the issue. 'Select All' of the images in the folder (CTRL + A keys) and then go to menu Library> Previews> and select "Build 1:1 Previews.' This will build the 1:1 previews and Standard previews used in the Gird view. Wait for the Preview Building to finish. Then try scrolling again with the your USB cable connected Intuos Pro S.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Dual Monitors Windows 7 Problems

Ok, this problem is getting really annoying and I think its a problem with windows 7 itself and not my computer.
Basically I have a dual monitor setup with the left hand monitor as my secondary and right hand monitor as my primary. Whenever I have an application with any graphics on it at all such as a progress bar on my left hand monitor moving windows around becomes laggy and juddery, yet this doesn't happen when the graphical app is on my primary monitor!
My system Specs:
ASUS Striker Extreme MOBO
OCZ 850W gameXtreme
Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz CPU
4GB (4x1GB) OCZ DDR2 1066MHz RAM
Nvidia 8800GTX

3 x 80GB HD for system drive in RAID 0
1 x 500GB and 1 x 250GB drives for storage
Monitors are 1680 x 1050 res
Windows 7 Exp Index:
CPU: 5.9
Memory: 5.9
Graphics: 6.8
Gaming Graphics: 6.8

What iv tried:
Updating to latest drivers
Upgraded system memory from 2GB to 4GB
Installing 64-bit version
removing sound card and re-installing windows from scratch
upgraded my PSU
Thanks for your help!

(Latest update) This is the best I can do to alleviate the problem, and does reduce its severity immensely, but I found myself still noticing some slight playback glitches in videos on my second monitor which probably also translate to anything else with movement. I have tested with a panning scene in one of my videos and there is a subtle micro-stutter on my second monitor which I can find no way to fix. This doesn't occur if outputting to a single display, one or the other, nor does it occur when playing the video on my primary monitor in a dual-monitor configuration. Note that when I say "primary monitor", I am not referring to the monitor Windows has marked as primary, but my actual monitor rather than TV. In a dual-monitor configuration, this micro-stutter will only occur when playing video on my right monitor (TV), regardless of settings or which ports the monitors are connected to on the GPU. The micro-stutter occurs with no relation to the activity on the other screen, as it can be completely still. I can confirm the micro-stutter does not occur at all with Desktop Window Manager (Aero) disabled. In short, this is a nightmare.
(Note that this micro-stutter is equally replicable in the 182.50 (WDDM1.1-less) driver, meaning there is no way to solve it other than disabling Aero or outputting to a single monitor.)
I think I've solved the problem.. for me, anyway. I've divided this into short answer and "long answer", which is closer to a stream of consciousness in some ways, as I found out about Force10Level9 as I was writing.
The short version:
I've found some registry keys which seem to have fixed the problem for me. I haven't experienced any side effects, but use the tweaks at your own risk!
I don't know exactly what they do. This comes from a lot of.. experimentation. I believe FrameRateMin tells the Desktop Window Manager that it's crucial to try to keep the framerate at or above the value specified (more details below), and Force10Level9 sounds like it forces DWM to use DirectX 9. I'm fairly certain about the former, not as certain about the latter, but together they do wonders.
You can view the fix below. You can then save it as a .reg file and import it into your registry. Restart the Desktop Window Manager service or reboot to see the changes.
Fix: http://pastebin.com/FFDbubw9
Undo: http://pastebin.com/zA8CJY06
(P.S. Just ran a FurMark test between fix applied and no fix. No difference in performance, with an inactive secondary monitor. I also noticed no difference in Physical Memory usage as reported by Task Manager. YMMV, let me know if you have any side effects.)
(P.P.S. The screen fade that happens when you log in/out is just as choppy as before (or if it wasn't choppy for you, that shouldn't have changed). Oh well, how often do we see that thing, anyway? :))
By the way, it appears 10Level9 is Windows 7's emulation platform for running DX10 on DX9 hardware. It's reported to be at least a 0.5x performance hit, so it's surprising that it actually makes Aero run better. If this article is anything to go by, Force10Level9 makes Aero run exactly the same as it does with older WDDM 1.0-only drivers like 182.50: http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=637&pgno=1
The long version:
Well... I was able to do one more thing.
There is an undocumented registry key which allows you to fine-tune the Desktop Window Manager's scheduling. Unfortunately, all of its values seem to be defunct in the final version of Windows 7 we all use today... except one: FrameRateMin.
From what I gather, the Desktop Window Manager (Aero) carefully monitors the framerate it is able to achieve, and when it can't measure up to its own expectations, it will perform a "step down", or framerate reduction, and maintain this lower framerate for a given period of time (at one time specifiable with a registry value) before trying again at maximum speed.
I presume it does all this to keep things looking "smooth".
The problem is, in most cases, it doesn't help, and actually prolongs the stuttering duration. By "in most cases", I mean in every case it's happened in my personal usage of my Windows 7 computers.
So what helped me was setting this FrameRateMin value to 60. That way, the Desktop Window Manager considers anything under 60fps to be unacceptable and will not remain at a lower framerate for purposes of perceived smoothness. Thus, the stuttering will take up as little time as possible, making it nearly unnoticeable most of the time.
Keep in mind DWM shouldn't be having performance problems to begin with, but apparently in some cases, like with my particular hardware (desktop and laptop) and the latest NVIDIA drivers, it does.
Down to brass tacks. The registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Schedule. The value is FrameRateMin, a DWORD representing the minimum framerate DWM will consider as acceptable. I set it to 60, but you can set it to whatever you want.
To repeat, this WILL NOT prevent Aero from ever getting below the framerate you specify; it simply prevents Aero from retaining a lower framerate after a stutter in order to give the illusion of smoothness (an illusion which fails).
I imagine the main reason it fails so spectacularly in my usage is because I watch a lot of videos which play back at 24fps. Such a framerate plays back terribly with a 30Hz refresh rate, which is what Aero would reduce itself to for extended lengths of time. Now, performance hiccups are minimal, but sadly still existent.
So this isn't a solution, but it does help. I am still uncertain of where the problem lies, considering GPU-Z shows graphics card loads to be as low as always when it's happening.
Oh, and I found one more registry value. This one is far more important. :) It solves the problem for me entirely, from what I can tell.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics
add the DWORD value Force10Level9 with a value of 1.
I haven't noticed any side effects, just smooth performance.
Apply these tweaks at your own risk!

How do I get an image in the Encore CS6 monitor window? Audio's fine.

First time Encore user. Running its CS6 version alongside PP CC 2014. Exported media as mpg2-dvd from PP, imported as timeline with the .wav into Encore as suggested here: Adobe TV
I get sound but no image in the monitor window. The m2v file plays back in VLC, but no image in QT, and attempted playback gets me spinning beach balls.
Thoughts? Just need to burn a DVD for client delivery tomorrow. Yes, a DVD.
I'm running osx 10.9.5, 2.7GHz i7/16GB RAM MBP with a couple of SSDs in it, and a Thunderbolt RAID 1 for media.
Thanks for any leads.

Thanks for your reply. I believe the purpose of Photo Stream on Apple TV is quite different, obviously you can use Photo Stream as a screen saver, but since Apple TV doesn't have a hard drive you can't download your Photo Stream pictures onto the device. This creates a problem when you have an Apple TV at two different locations (Home sharing wouldn't work), so I want to know if I can move a picture back into PhotoStream after 30 days and the system will allow it. Please help! Thanks!

Touchscreen Monitor for MacBook Pro

I just bought a 15" Macbook Pro with Parallels 9 and Windows 8. Can anyone recommend a touch screen monitor that I can use with my new workstation? I would like to get rid of my Dell desktop and just use the Macbook Pro for both desktop and laptop use.
Message was edited by: mrdarci

You posted in a non-MacBook Pro forum, be that as it may.... I run Windows 8.1 on my Mac and on PCs (and like it very much, thank you).
For price I saw for touchscreen, depends on what if any driver support (Apple is weak on Windows drivers) if you want to go with running Windows natively. Might want to install Windows in its own partition (what apple refers to as "Boot Camp" and has its own forum too) and then point Parallels 9 at the native Windows installation (you get dual boot and use of Windows in VM)

Programing Software & Touchscreen Monitor

Hey,
I would really like to start building my first applications...
I want to invent a machine that has its mac build in... Now I need two things...
First I want to connect some cheap touchscreen monitor to the mac... Is that possible to use any ones, or are there just special ones for Macs. And how hard is it to install the drivers for this...
My second problem ist, that I need a good Software to start with. in this Machine I just need a few windows with a few bouttons that do something when you click them. What software would you recoment to me. I allready tried a Program called "Supercard" It is ok... but are there any better ones???
And for all those, that do use Supercard... When I try to do for example a skript when you push a boutton... in what programming language are you programming then??? I'm just asking, so that I might order a book to it. And is this language compatible with other programming softwares or does everyone has its own...
I know that this are just a lot of questions... Thank you so much for an answer
-Marc

Marc,
While I'm afraid that I can't help your solution, I'd like to point you towards some fantastic Mac developers that also happen to be German. The guys over at http://codingmonkeys.de/ do some fantastic work, and they may be able to provide you with some answers in your native tongue.
This suggestion is in no way intended to turn you away from these forums! The more the merrier, and good luck to you!

Touchscreen monitor and photoshop

I've tried drawing with a stylus on my touchscreen monitor, but it doesn't work on CS6 (it pans instead). I've been able to draw in previous versions. Is there a setting I can adjust or anything?

I looked at an HP touchsceen computer in a local store a few days ago. The whole things consited of the screen, with CPU, memory etc. and a keyboard. I thought about doing photoshop with it, and did not like the idea of have to hold your hand up in front of you, and wondered how precise your control might be. It also occured to me that such a screen would have drivers like an Intuos that could identify which program was active, and be set up to react accordingly. But I don't see it catching of for Photoshop. OK I was sold on the idea of the big Ciniq screens that could easily by moved into the horizontal and used like a tablet, but not a regular monitor.
Oh dear. I think I just failed an early test for madness, because I just tied drawing on my monitor with my finger.
