Why Are My Actions Opening Dialogs?

My actions, instead of running with the settings used while defining them, open the dialogs in each step. This is a new headache. In the past the just run using the setting used when the action was defined. What's going on here?

What’s going on might be that you or someone with access to your computer has changed settings, for example by checking the "Toggle dialog on/off"-field.
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?

  • Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email. I need to save the pdf file itself.

    Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email?  I need to save the pdf file itself, so I can re-read them for later.  ANy fix.  Some pdf files I send are saved as pdf files unopened.

    I have no idea how an iPad works.

  • Why are PDFs not opening?

    A course was published with several PDFs using Presenter 7. The PDFs open when viewed on the LMS.
    In an effort to decrease file size I've gone back into the course using a newly purchased version 8 and added PDFs that were lower in file size. The course is republished locally (I also worked locally), uploaded to the LMS and tested. Of the 16 PDFs I can get 1 or 2 to open- that's it.
    I've tried deleting the resource folder and deleting the files seen under Settings and starting fresh with the same outcome.
    I've also manually added the PDFs to the resource folder with the same outcome.
    What am I missing?

    If you are trying to open the PDFs when testing by playing the content from your local C drive, you are likely encountering Flash Security Settings blocking the links.

  • Why are active menus and dialog boxes disappearing/being overwritten by the active tab/page content?

    Frequently when selecting a download directory/filename in the "save to" dialog the entire dialog is overwritten with the active page content. It appears the dialog has closed, but if you tab through the dialog the active field/control is written but the rest of the dialog remains hidden/overwritten. This has also happened with the "open file" dialog. The the drop down menus on the menu bar are occasionally being overwritten after being activated/pulled down. I have not been able to determine a common/specific event causing this problem.

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • Why are my actions not processing the RAW files correctly?

    For starters, I have to say the CS4 has been one of the most unreliable software packages I've ever used.  It's a beta version.  Adobe is making Microsoft look good these days.  I was extorted into upgrading from CS3 because Adobe chose not to create a RAW plug-in for CS3 that would open Canon 5D Mark II files. They wanted the revenue.
    I'm an engineer and am pretty good with computer problems, but after spending hours simply trying to install the CS4 upgrade over CS3 on a fairly new, very fast Windows machine with no other software installed by me, I gave up.  It took 3 hours on the phone with an Adobe tech to get it running (more or less) properly.  CS4 still freezes up about once a day on that system, losing whatever the latest changes I've made by the time I finally get it closed and restarted  Then a month ago I bought a new, fast Windows laptop.  I only installed CS4 and Word on that computer (with all the latest patches and RAW plug-ins).  It's biggest problem is in processing RAW files.  I have an action that works fine on my other systems that I wrote from scratch on the new laptop.  All the action does is open a RAW file as a PSD file, resize it, convert to sRGB, change the mode to 8 bits, sharpen it, and save it as a JPG.  But the resulting JPG does not look like the RAW file from which it was made--color, brightness, contrast, etc. are all significantly changed.  When I get back from an assignment and transfer the same RAW files to my other computer on which CS4 is installed and run the same action, the JPGs come out perfectly.  Once again, Adobe has met my low expectations.  Any ideas on what the problem is?

    Sounds like you're a candidate for Lightroom...based on the time you don't
    want to spend in Photoshop.
    Photoshop install media is likely created in large batches, perhaps in a
    foreign country, so it's understandable that you get Photoshop 11.0.0 is on
    the media.
    I don't know as I would use ProPhotoRGB as my working space in Photoshop.  I
    was merely suggesting that you look at your color settings to make sure
    things were the same on both machines.
    How do you know your actions are the same?  Did you copy the action
    recording from one computer to the other, or did you merely record the same
    steps on each one?  Have you compared the details of each action step in the
    Actions Palette to make sure they are the same?  The symptoms still sound
    like something different than sRGB being the output color-space, or the fact
    it isn't embedded on one or the other of the computers.
    How are you viewing the JPG when it looks the same or different than the
    RAW?  Are you looking at the side-by-side in Photoshop, or side-by-side in
    Bridge, or are you using a mixture of viewers, one Adobe, and one not?  And
    are you using the Canon Codec on Vista or not?  The Canon Codec would be
    showing the camera-preview in the RAW not the RAW adjustments that Adobe has
    done.
    While the OS shouldn't be causing a difference in how the action is run, a
    difference between OSes may make a difference in the processing to show up.
    The camera profile associated with a RAW file is visible in the
    third-from-right tab in ACR over at the right.  The one with the little
    DSLR-camera icon on the tab.
    Can you attach the two JPGs on a reply, here, or if not, upload a ZIP of the
    two JPGs and the RAW to a file-sharing site like http://www.rapidshare.com/
    and post the download link(s)?

  • Why are my files opening in AME (newb)?

    hi all,
    i have a host of files with some coming from my PC days and am currently using Aperture to store and create m4v and mov files.
    right now i have AVI, mpg, mp4, PDF etcetera that i am trying to organize. when i doubleclick on some of these files they open in AME and i am curious if this means that i need to associate the file type with some other software or if i should convert them to a more convenient format such as mov or m4v which Aperture recognizes.
    can anyone give me there experience with this kind of issue?
    i would like to avoid having four different pieces of software just to view slideshows/videos.
    THANKS

    He shoots in Jpeg, with a Nikon D300s that is 12 megapixels. Here is a screenshot with the crop bar open....Not really sure what other screen shots would help you. This particular file started out as 3 mb and shrunk to 904 kb. Studio files are typically smaller starting out, so that is why the 3 mb.

  • Why are pages windows open in all of my desktops??

    I am running pages in the most recent iteration of osX. I am wondering why the documents I have open are on each of my desktops. Such that when I swipe between desktops to look at something other than the documents I have open in Pages those open documents follow me. What is up this did not happen in the recent past. I have repaired permissions and restarted to no avail.

    Researching further I discovered this article which may answer my question.

  • Why are extra pages opening behind my emails

    I get 3 extra pages behind my emails and I cannot determine why. The initial email is okay, but if there is something I have to click on in the email these pages open. They are blank and continuance of their page names includes the words 'Not Available'. I can take a screenshot but cannot see where to attach it. Thanking you for your kind assistance.

    For my emails I use Thunderbird but my browser is chrome. I am not good at explaining this I know, but the problem occurs when I have to open another page via the email (like for instance this one and, yes, it opens with my browser and the 3 extra pages are there, as they are as I type this reply, having got to your message via the help feature in Thunderbird. The reason I feel it is a Thunderbird 'thing' is because if I open things in my browser direct this does not happen, only happens opening via an email for which I use Thunderbird.
    Kind regards

  • Why are my actions no longer working?

    I can't understand, trace, or figure out why (haven't made any significant changes lately to my system, app, etc.), but my PSD actions (specifically, ones from PSDCovers.com to do book mockups) are no longer working. When I run Step 2 of the action, it doesn't rotate and align the cover correctly. I've tried everything, and I can't figure out why, or how this happened?
    Any clues??

    Any clues??
    How should anyone else be able to figure out what’s going on based on what you have provided so far?
    Is an unneeded Selection active?
    Please provide a screenshot of the expanded Action in the Actions Panel and of the Document with Layers and Channels Panel visible.

  • Why are all tabs opening in HTML?

    when I open tabs or try going to any website there are no pictures and everything is in HTML format...I think....

    Hi Havovie, did Firefox work normally until today?
    Can you associate the change with any changes to your system, such as an update to Firefox, or an add-on, or Windows?
    Could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • Why are unwanted tabs opening, trying to sell me something or repair registry problems? (obviously scam).

    How do I prevent unwanted tabs (scam & sales ads) from opening, both at start-up and when perusing the web? I'm using FF 3.6.8. This problem began around July 2010. My homepage loads just fine, but a second tab loads as well (which isn't in my homepage preferences). The "registry defender" ad/scam is particularly annoying. I've blocked all cookies except for certain sites, but that didn't help. Pop-ups are also blocked. I've repeatedly run SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes but neither program has fixed the problem. Any advice would be appreciated!

  • Why are new tabs opening in 200% zoom?

    I am using version 22.0. Firefox updated itself a week or so ago and ever since then, when Firefox opens up (with my saved tabs) or when I click to open new tabs, all websites open in 200% zoom. I have to hit Control - twice to get to the "normal" zoom view every single time.
    Also, my left-hand side Bookmarks menu looks different too - they look like they are also zoomed in but I can't figure out how to zoom out of that area so that I can see all my bookmarks like I used to.
    None of my other programs are having any kind of zoom issue so I know it's related only to Firefox. I have rebooted many times over the past week or two and that doesn't solve the issue.
    I've also tried going to View / Zoom / Reset - but that takes me BACK to the 200% view.
    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

    Hello,
    Have you tried [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages|Firefox's zoom feature]]? This will help increase the size of web pages.
    * To make things bigger, press '''Ctrl''' and '''&#43''' at the same time.
    * To make things smaller, press '''Ctrl''' and '''-''' at the same time.
    * To reset the size back to normal, press '''Ctrl''' and '''0''' at the same time.
    You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
    '''Using NoSquint:'''
    #After installing NoSquint, make sure you have the Add-on Bar displayed:
    #*Right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
    #Click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    #*You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but it's not recommended that you go higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
    If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
    Please let us know if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Why are Apple Apps opening in Japanese Fonts!!!

    I've been having the wierd situation where apps like the Automator, Key Access, etc. start opening up in Japanese fonts. when I try to open the Font Book to work on them, it will not open, i just get an error message asking if I want to retry opening it, which never works.
    Any ideas????

    Then I went back to automator, and now it was in
    French, which was the new #2 language!
    So I think there's something wrong with my english
    settings, although most apps do appear in English,
    just a few apple ones.
    Did you also do this as recommended earlier?
    "Do Get Info on the icon for any program affected and hit the Languages tab and make sure English is checked and Japanese is not checked. "
    Also create another account and see if the same problem exists. If not, it probably means you have bad caches or .plists in the main account.
    What may have happened is that you have lost (or lost access to) the English localization files for those particular apps. You might try repairing permissions, and if that doesn't work perhaps reinstalling the apps.
    Will Fontbook work from another account?
