Update Process Version Dialog Box (2010 Process)

How do I get this box back (it seems to have disappeared) only allowing me to update one photo at a time? I also tried copying the development setting by applying only the process setting check box (for an updated photo) but that doesn't seem to work either.

Go to Preferences, in the General tab, and click on "reset all warnings". That should make the Update Process Version dialog appear again.
You can also select all your images in Library grid and go to the Photo menu, choose "Develop Settings" then "Update to Current Process (2010)" to update multiple images at once.

Changing between process version 2012 to 2010 in LR4

I know that the sharpening and noise reduction was improved for the 2010 process version. Were they improved more for the 2012 version? I would love to swich back to 2010 but I just want to make sure I don't loose the better quality of the sharpening and noise reduction. Thank you for any insight!!

I realize you didn't ask for help with PV2012 (or a lecture about how it's better...), but I can't help but wonder: Why?
But to answer your question more specifically:
* Clarity was improved in PV2012, but sharpening and NR are same as PV2010.

CS3 extended student 10.0: update problem, blank dialog box

After having installed successfully photoshop CS3 version 10.0 from DVD I would like to download an update.
Problem: After download (80mb) the update cannot be installed. Instead of an error message it appears a blank dialog box. Please help.
Best regards

You have SCADS of extensions and the things running. McAfee, Intego, Orbicule, CleanMyMac, and others I've not ever even heard of. My first recommendation would be to remove all of these and see if things improve.

Dreamweaver CS4 - Update Template Files dialog box doesn't appear

I've just made a small change to my website's template file in Dreamweaver CS4, but I can't figure out how to apply the change to all pages on my site.
As I understand it, a dialog box is supposed to appear immediately after you hit 'Save'. This gives you 'Update' or 'Don't Update' options.
The box does not appear for me. No idea why - I saved the revised template and nothing happened!
Is there another way of updating the webpage files with the revised template? Or can it only be done though the dialog box? If so, how can I bring the box up?
Thanks for any tips, tricks, or explanations...

Well, I'm not sure what rule I've broken. I followed the procedure set out in that tutorial to make my template in the first place, although I used Janine Warner's book 'Teach yourself Dreamweaver CS4' which goes through the same steps as the web tutorial - with the exception of the 'Apply your Dreamweaver template' section, which seems to suggest that you create your web pages first, and turn them into templates later.
I simply created my basic page layout, saved it as a template, and then created every page on my site by clicking 'New from template'. No problems, everything worked well.
I don't see why it would be necessary to create a new page from a template, and then apply the template to the page. Doesn't that amount to using two different methods to do the same thing twice? In any case, there's nothing in the book about 'Applying' a template, so I didn't do it. That's the only point of difference. But is it the problem? Is the book wrong?
Now I've got the book open in front of me at page 196 - 'Edit a template to update web pages created with it'. Interestingly, I may have discovered why it was not possible to edit my link in the Property Inspector.
The book remarks, more or less as an afterthought tacked on to the end of the page, that in order to use the Property Inspector to edit a template, I must first click on the element I wish to edit and then click 'Modify', 'Templates', and 'Make Attribute Editable'. Only then can changes be made.
The book says nothing about editing elements *without* using the Property Inspector, as I attempted when I tried the 'Insert Hyperlink' method, so I'm not sure whether this is possible or not. As it didn't work for me, I'd say not - but it would be nice if the book was specific on this point!
It's amazing how vague some of these tutorials can be - and also rather baffling that they can differ so much from each other. Website construction is all about specifics after all - everything is either 100% right, or 100% wrong. There shouldn't be any room for fuzziness. As it seems I have a specific problem, it must come from a specific, identifiable cause. It should be possible to say, "Ah, now if THAT is going wrong, the error must be HERE. Fix it by doing THIS."
Well, I'll try making the attributes of my elements editable now. I'm not sure if a text link counts as an element (that's another point on which my book is a little vague), but I dare say I'll find out shortly!

Complicated question: dialog box-batch processing script

I am adapting the working script I found on this forum.
Script: Open files as layers in Photoshop
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1313579
The goal of the adaptation is to include a javascript Folder dialog to set the save folder destination at run time and
use this folder destination for the remaining script batch processing functions.
Presently, the script loads a Bridge stack as Photoshop layers and saves the layered tiff using the Folder dialog.
The folder dialog is manifesting every time the script encounters a Bridge stack.
The question is what is the correct script logic to set the destination folder once at run time and keep this destination
folder for the stack batch processing.
#target bridge
var stacks = app.document.stacks;
var stackCount = stacks.length;
for(var s = 0;s<stackCount;s++){
      var stackFiles = getStackFiles( stacks[s] );
      if(stackFiles.length> 1){
           var bt = new BridgeTalk;
           bt.target = "photoshop";
           var myScript = ("var ftn = " + psRemote.toSource() + "; ftn("+stackFiles.toSource()+");");
           bt.body = myScript;
           bt.send(5);
function getStackFiles( stack ){
      var files = new Array();
      for( var f = 0; f<stack.thumbnails.length;f++){
           files.push(stack.thumbnails[f].spec);
      return files;
function psRemote(stackFiles){
app.bringToFront();
var thisDoc = open(File(stackFiles[0]));
var Name = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).slice(0,-4);
thisDoc.layers[0].name = decodeURI(Name);
for(var a = 1;a<stackFiles.length;a++){
    open(File(stackFiles[a]));
    Name = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).slice(0,-4);
    activeDocument.activeLayer.duplicate(thisDoc);
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    thisDoc.layers[0].name = Name;
var tifOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();
tifOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();
tifOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
tifOptions.imageCompression = TIFFEncoding.TIFFLZW;
tifOptions.alphaChannels = false;
tifOptions.byteOrder = ByteOrder.MACOS;
tifOptions.layers = true;
var theFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Select Folder");
if (theFolder) {
        var myFile = new File( theFolder + "/" + app.activeDocument.name);
        app.activeDocument.saveAs(myFile, tifOptions, true);
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

I am thinking the Folder dialog is not correct for this application.
On a second thought a persistent dialog to set the save folder path and run the script from the persistent dialog can make sense.
Any ideas?

Dialog box display won't update after screen blank or being moved

I have a modeless dialog box used for status display by a plugin I wrote for Acrobat. Everything works fine until the screen blanks or the user moves the dialog box on the screen, at which point no further updates to the dialog box are displayed. My plugin consumes 100% of CPU for long periods of time so the program can appear dead without this display being updated, but nothing I have tried seems to make any difference. The dialog box is generated with ADM and things I have tried include calling "Update" on the dialog box at regular intervals, the windows "Sleep" function to yield the CPU periodically, and a host of similar tactics.
I'm guessing all the code will get run together once I click submit, but here is how I create the diaglog box (it was working fine without the "WinAppRegisterModelessDialog", but I saw a reference to it elsewhere and tried it to see if it would help, not sure if it actually serves any useful purpose):
statWin = sADMDialog->Create(inPluginRef, DIALOG_ID, IDB_DIALOG1, kADMModalDialogStyle, NULL, NULL, 0);
WinAppRegisterModelessDialog((HWND)sADMDialog->GetWindowRef(statWin));
infoBox = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, 5, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
// Status header
coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
coords.bottom = coords.top + 12;
statHeader = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
// Status line
coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
coords.bottom = coords.top + 12;
statLine = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
// Progress bar
coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
coords.bottom = coords.top + 15;
progress = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMProgressBarType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
sADMItem->SetMinIntValue(progress, 0);
sADMItem->SetMaxIntValue(progress, totalPages);
// Set window size, and other attributes
sADMDialog->Size(statWin, coords.right + BORDER, coords.bottom + BORDER);
sADMDialog->SetText(statWin, PROD_NAME " - Progress");
// Set header for status line
sADMItem->SetText(statHeader, " Page # % Complete Estimated Time remaining");
// Initialize progress bar
sADMItem->Update(progress);
Updates are currently performed with the following code segment. The last two lines are my attempts to get the display to update once the screen blanks:
// show it
sADMItem->SetText(statLine, textBuf);
// Update progress bar
sADMItem->SetIntValue(progress, pagesCompleted);
// Force display update/refresh
sADMDialog->Update(statWin);
// Yield for display update (in case of screen blank or user changes)
Sleep((DWORD)100);
Everything works fine until the window is moved or screen blanking occurs, after that nothing seems to work, all updates to the box cease to be displayed. Any suggestions?

OK guys here's an update. First I went to BIOS and updated the initial display setting to "LCD panel only" from "Auto". At first I thought it helped, because when I worked at the laptop without the external screen attached, the internal LCD panel resumed normally from off (previously this didn't work).
But today while I was in the office with my external 19" LCD screen attached, and both of them went off after being idle for 10 minutes, the internal LCD panel didn't resume again. So I've tried the Fn + F5 key combination to switch between modes, and I switched from dualview back to single. The internal LCD panel blinked for a second and then turned off immediately, and from that moment on, I was without picture on both of them. SO I ended up hibernating and resuming again. :( An important note - as soon as the computer began hibernating, the LCD went on and I could see the whole progress of hibernation before it turned off.
Also another note - when I'm in dualview, I always have keep the internal LCD panel as the primary screen. So unfortunately, when it doesn't resume, I don't have access to the taskbar etc to try more things...
Any more thoughts?
Thanks again!

I have been getting a popup dialog box asking me to update flash player, but I don't know if I should trust it, as the exe file name is "tmp4E11.exe".

Hi Team,
I am only sending you an email as I am unable to find the answer to this question anywhere on your web site.
Just started within the past half an hour, I have been getting an update Flash Player dialog box popping up on my desktop, saying to update now or later or not at all, but I don't recognize it as the standard type of update dialog box that is sent by Adobe. The file name that is being used to click on for the update is "tmp4E11.exe:, is this a genuine Adobe update. I just can't stop this dialog box from popping up every ten seconds. HELP please.
Thanks.

Hi,
if it's popping up every 10 seconds or so it's not official Flash Player update as ours does not display that often. Can you post a screenshot of it, How to post a screenshot in the forum.

HANA SPS 08 Upgrade Prerequisite - Update GCC version

Dear All,
As we know HANA SPS 08 is now GA. . However, one of the prerequisite of upgrade is to update GCC version on HANA platform to GCC 4.7 (SAP Note 2020199).
There are customers who might be running multiple systems on one box. For example: DEV and QA environment on one hardware. If they update GCC version on box and then upgrade DEV to SPS 08 then can this upgrade disturb QA which is still on SPS 07?
Your suggestions will be really appreciated.

Hi Angad,
reasonable question, but luckily no problem!
Checking on a rev. 74 system we find the following as the required GLIBC runtime versions:
strings libhdbrskernel.so | grep GLIBC
GLIBC_2.3
GLIBC_2.2.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBC_2.3.2
GLIBC_2.3.4
The same command on a rev. 80 system delivers
GLIBC_2.3
GLIBC_2.2.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBC_2.3.2
GLIBC_2.3.4
Now, the shared object containing these libraries is the /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.
This is the list of supported c-lib version on a kernel 11.1 system:
cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 1
strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 | grep 3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
and this is the same on a 11.3 system:
cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 3
strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 | grep 3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12
GLIBCXX_3.4.13
GLIBCXX_3.4.14
GLIBCXX_3.4.15
GLIBCXX_3.4.16
GLIBCXX_3.4.17
CXXABI_1.3.4
As you see: both sets of API requirements are fully covered by the required (GCC 4.7 runtime) libraries.
So, no problem for multi revision instance installations.

Process version 2010 to 2012 update differences...why?

I am a retired computer professional and I have used LR since V3 first came out and have recently updated my photos from process version 2010 to PV2012. I used the batch process as I have ~200 GB of photos. My batch process is as follows:
In the Library module, I clicked on > Library> select Show Photos in Subfolders. I then selected the Develop module, opened a folder and selected the first photo and manually clicked on the ! icon to Update to Current Process (2012). I then added all the photos in the filmstrip to my selection. I then clicked on Sync button to open the Synchronize Settings dialog and clicked on Check None and then check marked only Process Version and clicked on Synchronize.
I noticed that the batch process zeroed out all my settings in the Develop module Basic dialog. I no longer have my previous 2010 settings listed for the photo and in some cases it looks like some of the images have defaulted to an unprocessed state (under or overexposed, lack of color saturation). If I select a photo in the Develop module and go History and select the setting just prior to the "Synchronize Settings" to render it back to PV2010 and click on the image ! icon to update just that one photo, I get a totally different result. I retain the previous settings in the Basic tab and only the new LR4 tool settings are changed.and the History then states "Update to Current Process (2012)".
1. Why the different labeled result in History for the two processes?
2. Why are completely different results achieved in Develop module between the batch vs the manual update processes?
3. Have the photos really been updated from process version 2010 to PV2012 using the batch process listed above? As far as I know, I did the batch process correctly, as I even double checked online prior to processing in batch.
4. Can the images be "batched" back to PV2010? Would they change the photos that have been added since acquiring LR4 that are in PV2012? I can load last weeks backup PV2010 LR4 catalog, but I have added new photos since then and it would be a hassle to process them over again.
I am NOT happy with the results of my process update due to the loss of Develop Module Basic settings and in the completely different results achieved between the batch vs the manual update processes. I would like to keep my old settings that are not impacted by the PV2012 change and now they are gone in my current catalog.
Adobe, is this a BUG or a FEATURE?

In my opinion: not a good idea to convert old photos en-batch.
Recommend: convert (hand-selected photos) one at a time, or just use PV2012 on new photos.
There are more than one reason:
* As you know, process conversion yields very different results (if photo has been substantially edited).
* It takes some time to polish your PV2012 editing skills.
* Often when you are comparing PV2012 results to previous PV2010 results (which you've become familiar with, and like...), you may interpret differences in a more negative light, than if you were using PV2012 without comparing to a previous PV2010 version.
This last one can not be over-stated. Numerous times I have converted and been disappointed, at least initially. Recovered highlights can seem like loss of contrast. Detail in shadows can be distracting after initial conversion, until you step back for a while, then re-look at it...
Also, the process version itself (results I mean) takes some getting used to (even when not comparing to a previous legacy-pv edit). e.g. if you've become attached to the over-saturated shadows in previous process version, the shadows seem under-saturated in PV2012, etc...

After installing security update 10.6.8 I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will permit certain root processes, e.g. configd, to receive unsolicited messages from the internet. What are the consequences of denying these requests?

After installing security update 10.6.8 last night I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will allow incoming network connections to certain root processes, e.g. configd. I didn't see these dialog boxes prior to installing 10.6.8. How do I make informed decisions? In other words,
(1) Where can I find 25-word summary descriptions of these processes?
(2) Where can I find discussions of the consequences of granting or denying these requests?
Alternatively (and at some risk of revealing metaphysical doubt) why am I being asked for these permissions? And who expects me to make correct decisions?
I have turned on th standard-issue OS X firewall and am running my system in stealth mode.

Update to process version 2010 & smart collection "has adjustments"

Buying the new Lightroom 3 version ofcourse I wanted to profit of the new process version. So I selected all images I had "not adjusted" before and selected Update to Process version 2010. This works great.
However I now have one problem.
I had and have a Smart collection which helps me in my workflow to find all images that have not been touched, so have no adjustments.
This Smart collection has become worthless because of the update to process version 2010 all images have been adjusted.
Ok, this is correct and yet I miss my ability to select images which I have not adjusted.
Once I have set the default process version to 2010 all new images are correctly shown.
Question: how can I select all those images which have only the process version updated, but have no further adjustments?

Changing the process to version 2010 is considered as an adjustment; it will appear in the photo's history in the same way as any other development adjustment. The smart filter condition "Has Adjustments" only has a true or false setting so you can't distinguish the process version adjustment from any other. Instead of using this method to spot the photos I need to work on, I find that I have more control over my workflow by using keywords such as "review", "develop", "print"; you can make these keywords not exportable so that they are not part of the keyword list in exported photos.
Interestingly, when one or more photos are selected in the film strip and the reset button is clicked in develop mode the photo will revert back to its original state, the "Has Adjustments" condition will become false, but the process version will remain at 2010.
If you have a backup of your catalog that precedes the step where you updated the process version of all photos, open this backup, add a keyword of your choice to all the photos that have not been touched, then apply the process version change. You can then change your smart catalog to use this keyword as opposed to the "Has Adjustment" condition and remove the keyword you have set on photos that have not been touched as soon as you are done editing them. IMPORTANT: Any changes you have made following the date and time of the backup will be lost.
If you don't have a backup to go to, you will have to manually identify which photos, which from your point of view, have not been touched.
Some ideas:
If you did not make other edits following the change of the process version, and have not made other edits on that date, you could built a smart collection based on the 'Edit Date" and then reset the develop settings of all the photos in that collection.
Another possible condition is a "Capture Date" range where you know photos haven't been touched yet.
There may be other options, there may be a plugin that can help you, or ultimately there would be means to access the database outside of Lightroom - contact me if you get that desperate to fix this!

Problems with Update Process Version

When I open old images in the Develop Module, I am given the opportunity to update Process Version to 2010. So far so good. If I upgrade images one by one, the update process works fine. If I try to update all filmstrip photos, I ge the following error message:
An internal error has occurred.
?:0; attempt to perform arithmetic on field '?' (a nil value)
If try to update process after selecting several images in grid view, I get the same error message.
I have also tried to "reset all warning dialogs" under Preferences/General, but it did not help.
I have installed LR3 in a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.4.
Any advice?

Try changing your option for viewing changes in Before/After. There is a bug there (I'm pretty sure it occurs if you have it checked, but can't find it to verify right now)

Download Dialog Box in Page Process

I know this has been beat to death, but I just can't get it working. I am using Apex 3.0 on iAS 10g on Unix
I have a report that displays locations and map coordinates and a check box for each line.
The user checks the lines they want to "Map" and then presses an image button that is within the region items.
When the button is pressed, this kicks off a Page Process. I do not want put an upload dialog box. I want to write data to a file, then display a dialog box, so the user can save the file wherever they want. The code writes out to the file just fine.
The Page Process looks like:
Declare
v_kml_file Utl_File.File_Type;
v_dir VarChar2(1000) := 'KML';
v_name VarChar2(100);
Begin
v_kml_file := Utl_File.FOpen(v_dir,'sample.kml','W');
Utl_File.Put_Line(v_kml_file,'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>');
Utl_File.Put_Line(v_kml_file,'<kml xmlns="http://earth.goodle.com/kml/2.1">');
more Utl_File.Put_lines here
-- write out the checked lines
For i In 1..htmldb_application.g_f15.count Loop

htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="sample.kml"');
owa_util.http_header_close;

End;
When this executes I get The page cannot be found. The url is then http://www.my.website/pls/htmldb/wwv_flow.accept
I have tried hard-coding the path, using the relative path (the directory is located under htdocs), etc. I've tried using javascript as in examples on this forum. We upload and download documents using packages we have built, but I can't see how to use them for this.
Any help is appreciated,

John,
Yes, I looked at that previously. When I implement it, I receive the error ORA-01460: Unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested. Essentially, the code looks like this:

n_pos := n_pos + n_size;
End Loop;
End;

End;

Applying presets causes filter settings to get corrupted if process version updated

I have an ongoing problem with Lightroom 5.7 including earlier versions. The problem occurs when editing photos which use previous process versions (ie, 2010). My presets all have the Current Process version checked (as they should). Whenever I apply any preset to a photo, the settings for existing filters get corrupted (reset to 0). This includes my Graduated Filter settings, Adjustment Brush settings and Radial Filter settings. Those filters and their masks remain on the photo but their parameters have all been set to zero. I keep falling into this trap since it's natural to use my presets when making updates to photos. Often I don't realize this occurred until it's too late.
As a work-around (inconvenient) I can first manually update to the current process by right-clicking the photo and saying Settings/Update to Current Process (2012). Or by clicking the Lightening Bolt button in the upper right corner. But this must be done prior to applying any presets and I typically for get as my database has tens of thousands of pics. Even a preset with just the Process Version set will cause the filter settings to be corrupted. I'm not interested in applying a batch or Quick Develop process to all at once since I need to inspect each one as the process is updated. It would be great if this could be fixed in a maintenance release since it keeps biting me. I think it's important that this be fixed in LR 6.0 also. No doubt it's messed up many user's photos without them realizing it. Does anyone know a work-around so Presets can be used?
System: Win7 pro 64 (current), 4.2 GHz i7, 12GB, Lightroom 5.7.

In my opinion: not a good idea to convert old photos en-batch.
Recommend: convert (hand-selected photos) one at a time, or just use PV2012 on new photos.
There are more than one reason:
* As you know, process conversion yields very different results (if photo has been substantially edited).
* It takes some time to polish your PV2012 editing skills.
* Often when you are comparing PV2012 results to previous PV2010 results (which you've become familiar with, and like...), you may interpret differences in a more negative light, than if you were using PV2012 without comparing to a previous PV2010 version.
This last one can not be over-stated. Numerous times I have converted and been disappointed, at least initially. Recovered highlights can seem like loss of contrast. Detail in shadows can be distracting after initial conversion, until you step back for a while, then re-look at it...
Also, the process version itself (results I mean) takes some getting used to (even when not comparing to a previous legacy-pv edit). e.g. if you've become attached to the over-saturated shadows in previous process version, the shadows seem under-saturated in PV2012, etc...
