V1.1 preset folders odd behavior

In the develop module I added a preset folder which I called "ISO Sensitive".
I dragged 6 presets from the "User Presets" folder that I had created in v1.0
The "User Presets" folder strays expanded and I cannot expand the "Lightroom Presets" or the new "ISO Sensitive" folders until I close and reopen Lr.
The selected preset keeps jumping to another of my User Presets - one that made tone adjustments. I deleted this preset and now everything seems to work.

Hi Bryce,
1) You must have accidently dragged a folder onto your toolbar. If you hold down the Cmd (apple) key and click and drag the folder out of the toolbar, it should disappear in a puff of a smoke.
2) There is the possibility that the folder is registered as a login item. If you open System Preferences, and browse to the Accounts section. Click on the padlock at the bottom of the window and enter your password when prompted to. Next, navigate to the Login Items tab and check to see if the folder you mentioned is listed there. If it is, highlight it and click on the '-' button below to remove it.

IMovie 09 odd behavior

A few days back, without a reason, iM 09 would not open. After pref trash and permission repair there was no change. After re-install it now opens, but has odd behavior (will not play projects and events stutter. I also noticed that QT (have X & 7Pro) begins to play backwards when the cursor hovers over the screen. Just did the latest OS update, no change
Any similar experiences out there and any solutions if so.
I've been throught the iMovie threads for the last hour and see nothing that relates.
Thanks,
Wayne Garriepy (Mac since 99)

I should add that QT X does not play when prompted, but when I drag in the scrubber and pull the playhead forward, the playhead, when released, as in QT7, plays backward.
I've had friends make screenshots of how the preferences appear (their names & size) in their Home folders and there seems to be no difference. Really stumped.

Odd behavior when using custom Composite/CompositeContext and antialiasing

Hi,
I created a custom Composite/CompositeContext class and when I use it with antialiasing it causes a black bar to appear. I seems it has nothing to do with the compose() code but just that fact that I set my own Composite object. The submitted code will show you what I mean. There are 3 check boxes 1) allows to use the custom Composite object, 2) allows to ignore the compose() code in the CompositeContext and 3) toggles the antialiasing flag in the rendering hints. When the antialiasing flag is set and the Composite object is used the bar appears regardless of if the compose() method is executed or not. If the Composite object is not used the bar goes away.
The Composite/CompositeContext class performs clipping and gradient paint using a Ellipse2D.Float instance.
a) When the Composite is not used the code does a rectangular fill.
b) When the Composite is used it should clip the rectangular fill to only the inside of a circle and do a gradient merge of background color and current color.
c) If the compose() method is ignored then only the background is painted.
d) When antialiasing is turned on the black bar appears, i) if you ignore the compose() method it remains, ii) if you do not use the Composite object the bar disappears (???)
NOTE: the compose method's code is only for illustration purposes, I know that AlphaComposite, clipping and/or Gradient paint can be used to do what the example does. What I am trying to find out is why the fact of simply using my Composite object with antialiasing will cause the odd behavior. Been trying to figure it out but haven't, any help is appreciated.
Thx.

I got a better version to work as expected. Though there will probably be issues with the transformation to display coordinates as mentioned before. At least figured out some of the kinks of using a custom Composite/CompositeContext object.

IMac 21" late 09: Slow, screen flickering/tearing and odd behavior - the problem that puzzles everyone

PLEASE HELP!
My iMac 21" late -09, started acting a bit wierd a year ago. Things got worse rapidly, it got slower, the screen flickers/tears (see link below), short moments of lost internet connection, lost connection whit the keyboard (might be keyboard that is broken), almost overheats when gaming and odd behavior on some webbsites whit galleries and/or videos.
Let's begin whit the screen: it's not vertikal lines or major distortions, just a subtle horisontal line that "wanders" from bottom to topp and some lagging from time to time. Looks like this: http://cl.ly/3i2W2o3S1D2T
The wierd thing is that hi-res does not mean more "tearing". Yes the lagg and risk of tearing increases, but the connection seems to be: lots of movement=tearing. So a pixeld 240p video of people dancing can be way worse than a news debbate in1080p!?!
Lost connection whit internet and keyboard rarely happens and is probably due to something else, but thought that was good to have in mind.
Odd behavior: galleries ex: when browsing images on Facebook in fullscreen, the image sometimes jumps around in the beginning and when clicking on next the same picture might appear again or just nothing at all. When scrolling down overwiewing a gallery, the updating stops and you can't scroll down further. This problem appers mainly on FB, deviantart also acts a bit wierd but there is often small issues whit image sites. Doesn't help to switch browsers either!
Videos: Youtube is horrible to use, stops loading, dosen't start loading, erases everything loaded (grey bar disapears and reloads), refuse to switch ressolution and suddenly stops the video like it was done! "ehh.. wasn't this 2min long? Not anymore, now its 34sec!". Mainly a Youtube problem but many similar sites can be a bit problematic to use.
NO, it's not the HTML-5 problem or any standard flash issue and using a different browser dosen't help!
Worst is the fact that most of these errors are not constant! One day your watching youtube or mabey a movie in VLC, a bit laggy, but almost no problem. Next day **** brakes lose and after 2hours of struggling you are ready to stabb yourself in the face!
What i tried: Most easy buggfixes that might cause the above problems, updating most things, Switched from OS X SL to OS X ML, complete reinstall and some things i probably forgot by now. Then went to MacStore for repair, they didn't find anything wrong and said it worked fine after the standard diagnostic/repair program!?! Went home and everything was the same! Went a second time to MacStore, same result.
So I'v reinstalled a few times and it seems to improve the Mac. But 2-3weeks later every error is back, even if I barely installed or downloaded anything!?!
Any idea what this could be? Or is the graphic card broken and MacStore has a blind, inbred muppet as a technician?

No I didn't. The first time i explained the problem thoroughly and thought that they just couldn't miss such a visual error. I was wrong. The second time the technician wasn't there so i showed the above clip to the salesstaff and explained everything onceagain. Later the technician called me and we talked for 10min.
Btw, the problems always "manifests themselves", just varies between strenght and frequence.
But all other issues aside, what could cause the tearing of the screen as seen int the above clip?

Very odd behavior regarding variable naming with DataService.fill()

I'm experiencing this odd behavior in LCDS 2.5, wich pertains
to variable naming for the objects returned by a DataService.fill()
call. I ceated a simple destination with a Java adapter. the Server
side Java data object is defined as follows)
package test;
public class RepositoryObject
private String m_strObjectId;
private boolean m_bIsValid;
private long m_lSize;
[public setters and getters here]
On Flex side, the ActionScript value object is defined as
follows:
package test
[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias="test.RepositoryObject")]
public class RepositoryObject
public var m_strObjectId:String;
public var m_bIsValid:Boolean;
public var m_lSize:Number;
public function RepositoryObject()
The FDS destination definition (in
data-management-config.xml):
<destination id="testDs">
<adapter ref="java-dao" />
<properties>
<source>test.TestDS</source>
<scope>application</scope>
<metadata>
<identity property="m_strObjectId"/>
</metadata>
<network>
<session-timeout>20</session-timeout>
<paging enabled="false" pageSize="10" />
<throttle-inbound policy="ERROR" max-frequency="500"/>
<throttle-outbound policy="REPLACE"
max-frequency="500"/>
</network>
<server>
<fill-method>
<name>getObjects</name>
</fill-method>
</server>
</properties>
</destination>
What I figured while debugging into the client was is the
data returned by the service (I'm using the mx:DataService call)
returns objects whose variable names
do not match my definition:
m_strObjectId becomes objectId
m_lSize becomes size
m_bIsValid becomes isValid
I wonder why that renaming??? Basically "m_str" prefix was
stripped and capital "O" became lower case "o" for my first
variable etc.
For instance, in a datagrid cell renderer I could not
reference the returned value as {data.m_strObjectId}, but if I use
{data.objectId}, it works.
Any ideas why this behavior (which I found confusing and odd)
would be greately appreciated.
Robert

The latter, as "getM_strObjectId " is an ugly name... don't
tell me that causes issue...ok kidding, I got you. The
setter/getter names are important in this context.
Thanks a lot.

Preset folders missing lr 5.7

I have lr 5.7 running on a macbook pro. running osX 10.9.5 i'm an experienced LR user.
I was importing new presets from onOne software.   I have a lot of presets. some time during the process, I have lost the links to
most all my preset folders from the Presets bar. on the left side of the window, in the Develop module.   if I go to finder and search for "lrtemplate" I
seem to find all the folders and presets, yet LR doesn't show them? Also it seems no matter what catalog I open, the photos are now marked as "missing" "!"
but I can go find them again on my hard drive. how do I get LR to recognize all my previous presets.   I have rebooted my computer, and
also restarted LR several times.    how do I fix this?
thanks

Did you move the presets or the photos?
LR looks in one dedicated folder for the presets and alike. You can check the location of this folder from the preferences dialog (.. open folder ..).
If LR can not find a photo it show shows the exclamation mark. Right-click on the photo and select the option to relocate it.
Before doing this, please check in the folder panel if one of the folder has an exclamation mark. If yes, right-click on the folder and update it's path before doing this for every photo.
Keep ion mind that all file handling should be done from within LR, and never with finder.

First I spent many hours trying to acomplish a double trigger effect in which the last trigger opened a large image in a pop up window. Thanks to help from agm 123 and Sachin Hasija see the posts here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5186239#5186239
And the result here: http://ljusa.businesscatalyst.com/stockholm--1.html
I had to do a number of work arounds, but succeeded and will help anyone interested to reproduce this type of effect.
My next step was to recreate this effect for another 50 pages. The best way I have found is to duplicate the first page. This is where it gets weird.
When I create a duplicate and replace the images in the newly created pages (done by changing the fill to the new image) with different ones and save it the changes are effected on the original page, not the clone. No big problem, just switch the names and continue.
The next problem that occurs is that when I go to make further copies a variety of odd behaviors creep in. The biggest problem is a repositioning or resizing of photo frames/containers. The images do not change, just move as the frame resizes. When I try to resize the frame it snaps back to it's larger new size. This is a phenomenon that I have seen in other instances in work with lightboxes and slideshows. It seems that some other unseen element has jumped into the frame with the original frame.
The method I have used to create these pages is as described in the post at: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5186239#5186239
It involves creating a blank composition widget and then placing a composition lightbox widget trigger into the blank hero.
I have already invested more time than I should have on this and would like to keep it simple, yet as I have 50 pages to go I could start from scratch if someone has a better method of doing this.
Suggestions?

Just an update.
I haven't seen the naming problem with duoplicates reoccur. I am however still stuggling with duplicates.
I have a page with 5 image frames linked to images which in turn trigger a lightbox. When I create a duplicate of a page there is always at least one of my image frames that moves and or a link to an image that is dead. The only recourse I have had is to recreate one of the lifgtboxes for each new page I create. With all the formatting this is time consuming.
I have tried copying and pasting the entire page into a blank page, but then there are even more problems.
I have also tried to save my lightbox as a graphic style, but that dooesn't seem to work either.
Please Help! I've got at least 45 more of these pages to replicate1

Photoshop CS4 - odd behavior in titling

All,
I edit video almost every night and every weekend and have been doing this for several years now. Suddenly, I'm seeing an odd behavior now that I've never seen before.
I created a title that consists only of a red circle and have it as one of my title templates. I've used the red circle template across many projects without problems I use it to highlight an athlete in the video. I use keying so that the circle stays around the athlete for the entire clip so that a coach can focus on the specific athlete during the action. My videos are used by college coaches for recruiting high school athletes.
In the last few days, when I select the red circle title and the Motion bar under Video Effects under Effects Control so I can perform the keying, the video will flip to black so that all I see is the red circle on a black background. If I drag the scrubber a little, the video reappears with the red circle overlayed, but as soon as I release the scrubber, the video goes black again. This makes it impossible to change the key values for the title since I can't see the video.
For trouble-shooting, I created a new red circle title from scratch but it behaves the same. I tried using a completely different title but it behaves the same.
I assume I inadvertantly hit a switch somewhere that has changed the behavior, but I can't figure this out. If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Dan

What exaxctly are you talking about? Using the graphic in Premiere? If so, this is probably a more appropriate question for the PPro forum. That aside, why even bother? Premiere's title tool can do circles with transparency no problem and then After Effects has this neat parametric Circle effect and a motio0n tracker, too. Sounds like you love doing things the hard way....

Photoshop CS5 preset folders empty

Went to load and or reset crop tools, brushes, etc... and when I navigate within CS5 to those folders, all are empty. If I navigate not from Photoshop but directly from My Computer to the Preset folders, they are there, but not when I navigate within PS.... and the navigation is correct.
When I do place brushes in the preset folder, then navigate in PS, they are not there... I myself have CS4 and this is not a problem. I'm troubleshooting-working with a friend on a project and we are handcuffed with this CS5 problem... Help!?

What OS is your friend using? Vista or Windows 7 by any chance?
Assuming yes...
I ask because UAC in these OSs does some "special" things, actually redirecting requests to access files in certain folders. In short, Explorer and/or the file system shows them in one place when they're actually stored in another.
I don't know if that might be what's happening here, but here's an experiment you can run: Disable UAC (drag the slider to the "never notify" setting at the bottom), reboot, then see if the problem persists.
The problem comes about because Photoshop has its roots in a simpler time, when the installation was done with the assumption that the one and only administrative user of the computer would be using it.

HELP! Odd behavior in Photoshop CS6. Anyone have a solution?

Hi I am having really odd behavior in CS6. I have reset and cleared preferences. As you can see from the screenshot I have a rectangle shape layer but I have not assigned any shape layer effects to it. PS is adding a black border on its own and I have no idea how to get rid of it. I have been using photoshop for 20 years and this is driving me nuts. I've never seen this behavior before. If I add a color overlay the line is still there. If I rasterize the shape layer then add a color overly the outline disappears. But I don't want to raterize my shape layers. Anyone know how to get rid of it? Thank you in advance to anyone who might have a solution.

Issues Exiting Sleep Mode and Odd Behavior On Restart with GPU

I'm running a completely stock HP P7-1240 desktop except for an EVGA GeForce GTX 750 TI SC GPU. The GPU runs fine when the computer is up and running (which is odd because the forums have several other threads mentioning that the 700 series should be incompatible with my BIOS).
However, there are two main strange problems that have arisen since installing the GPU. One is that, whenever the computer enters sleep mode, it refuses to wake back up properly. It seems to me that the computer activates but does not send any signals out from the back panel (at the very least, no video signal because my monitors stay blank). On a rare occasion, it will wake back up properly, but at least 90% of the time, it needs to be restarted. Upon restart, sometimes the same issue occurs (no video output), and the computer needs to be restarted a second time before it will boot up again.
This leads to the second problem. When starting, the computer goes to a black screen listing basic computer specs (see attached photo. At this screen, the computer does not respond to any input. It proceeds to beep 3 times, all the same length and pitch spaced about 30 seconds apart. After the third beep, the screen goes black and then the computer boots up normally with no further odd behavior.
Without the GPU, none of these issues happen. At the very least, not regularly.
I have seen another thread mentioning that, although the HP support page for my desktop does not list it, there is a BIOS update for my motherboard that has fixed issues relating to more modern GPU's. By nature of it being a BIOS update that does not (appear to) officially support Windows 7, I'm hesitant to move forward with that potential solution.
Although I'm planning to build myself a new computer from scratch at some point, I was hoping to at least get another year out of this machine, if not 2. While this issue doesn't appear to be immediately threatening the stability of the computer, I can't help but think that this is an issue I should iron soon to avoid future issues (not to mention it would save me a fair amount of electricity to be able to enter sleep mode on a regular basis).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @johnmwalker,
I understand that you are having some issues with your HP Pavilion p7-1240 Desktop PC waking up from sleep mode. I am not sure how much can be done for the delay on your startup with an OEM BIOS you are limited in what you can do and since your graphic card works I think you would be better off not messing too much with the BIOS at this point. The one thing I would try is going into the BIOS using the HP Support document:BIOS Setup Utility Information and Menu Options, and under Advanced > Power-On Options set POST Messages to Disable and POST Delay (in seconds) to None.
Now the waking from sleep mode issue could just be the hybrid sleep setting causing you an issue with sleep mode. Use the following steps to disable hybrid sleep:
Step 1. Click Start
Step 2. Click Control Panel.
Step 3. Click System and Security
Step 4. Click Power Options
Step 5. Click High Performance from Power Options
Step 6. Click Change plan settings
Step 7. Select Change advanced power settings
Step 8. Click the plus (+) sign next to Sleep
Step 9. Click the plus (+) sign next to Allow hybrid sleep
Step 10. Select Off from the drop-down menu
Step 11. Click OK

Odd Behavior with Multi-page Forums

I have observed an odd behavior, when navigating multi-page forums.
As an example, I use the Premiere Elements Tips & Tricks sub-forum often, to link to helpful articles. It is, like most, a multi-page forum.
As the order of the articles will change, as new replies are added, I often need to navigate to multiple pages, to find the one that I need. My bookmark opens that forum onto Page 1, which is normal. I then scroll that page, looking for what I want. If it is not there, I will use either the Next, or the Page 2 buttons to move on. As I have scrolled to the bottom of Page 1, the Next (or Page 2) page will open at the bottom, rather than at the top, the first time that I do this. Pages 3, and above, will always open at the top. Also, if I go back to Page 2, it now opens at the top. I only see this, when going from Page 1, to Page 2, and then, only the first time. Odd, but no deal breaker, as I just manually scroll back to the top of Page 2, and then scroll down, looking for a particular article.
I am on Chrome and Win XP-Pro SP-3. I have not yet tried in IE 7 - my latest version.
Has anyone else experienced this little anomaly?

Adobe-admin,
Sorry, but I am out of "points... "
Thank you for the input. I just found it slightly odd behavior, and all that it means is a bit of scrolling, now that I know what to expect. In most cases, the average user probably does not go to Page 2 of a forum, but many of us do. If it becomes a pain, I'll just jump quickly to Page 3, and then back to Page 2.
Hey, Adobe never promised to make my life perfect - just better... I can easily live with this, but thought I'd ask, in case it was OE on my part.
Appreciated,
Hunt

Exceptions, odd behavior of streaming data to outputstream

I have a servlet which writes mp3 data to the dataoutputstream of a servlet response object. For some reason, the servlet method writes the data out and gets an exception. Then the method/servlet is called again automatically and begins to write the data out again. The exception is below. In the end the mp3 is delivered to the client fine, however with server side exceptions and odd behavior.
try {
          int len = 0;
          resp.setContentType("audio/mpeg");
          String filename = req.getParameter("file");
          File mp3 = new File(mediaDir + filename);
          byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
          FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(mp3);
          DataOutputStream o = new DataOutputStream(resp.getOutputStream());
          while( (len = fis.read(buf)) != -1) {
             o.write(buf, 0, len);
          o.flush();
          resp.flushBuffer();
          o.close();
          fis.close();
       catch(Exception e) {
          System.out.println(e.getMessage());
          e.printStackTrace();

There are some versions of some browsers (MS IE) that can call a servlet twice; they only look at the headers at the first request, in order to decide whether to display a "save or open" dialog, or some such reason. Try different browsers; also log the User-Agent header to see if it is "contype", which is present when the multiple request thing happens.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q293792
"Connection reset" can also happen if the client closes the connection without reading the entire response. Occasional resets will happen as users cancel download.
Not a source of exceptions but something you may still want to consider when sending large responses: by default, the servlet container will have to buffer the entire file in memory to find out its length. To save memory, either set content length before writing the data, or use chunked encoding (google should find details.) That way your write() actually streams data to the user.

Odd behavior in Finder and Shared Drives

As you can see from the screenshot below.. I am seeing some very odd behavior in Finder regarding a Shared Network Drive I have attached to another Mac.
Details:
Mac with Shared Drive attached is a 2011 iMac running 10.8.2
Mac with issue in Finder is 2011 Mac Mini running 10.8.2
When I go to the shared drive via Finder on the Mac Mini and open it, it shows multiple copies of the Shared Networked Drive. If I click on one of those copies it opens up another copy of the shared drive which also includes even more copies of the shared Drive inside.
Trying to eject the Shared HD via the Mac Mini results in the following msg...
“Sea2TB” is a partition on a disk that has 2 partitions. Do you want to eject “Sea2TB” only, or both partitions?
The problem is that HD is not partitioned.. It has only one partition called Sea2TB
Ejecting the HD from it's Host iMac... results in a normal ejection without this message about there being two partitions...
I have tried rebooting both Macs.. Removing and re-adding the share on the Host iMac... Renaming the Drive and so far this issue keeps returning.
It is the only shared Hard Drive that has this issue.. I am sharing another 4 HDs via the iMac to the Mac Mini and none of the other shares show up as multiple copies in Finder.. Only the Sea2TB share...
Any ideas anyone as to how to fix this?

Anyone got any ideas please?
