Window: Arrange: Tile - Breaks open sequence of files

In CS3 this worked perfectly. CS4 it was broken with no workaround. In CS5 it's partially fixed but still not working. I work on animated sequences and use the Window, Arrange, Tile to display all the files at once. To open files in PS and keep the file sequence in order I use Bridge. Each animation is 36 frames (files). I need to have two or more 36 frame animations open at a time and keep them in sequence. CS5 opens the first 36 in perfect order. Then when I open the next 36 from Bridge the sequence breaks. You can watch the files opening in correct sequence as they open in PS in the default Cascade arrangement, but when you go to Window, Arrange, Tile you can see CS5 is not respecting the order in which the files are were opened. It's randomizing the order based on some unknown sequence. I don't think there's a preference to control this behavior so have I discovered a bug?
CS3 files opened in perfect sequence
CS5 files opened in broken sequence
6/4/10 Adobe tech support update:
According to tech, PS set a limit on the amount of open files recommended at 50 files. After 50 the sequence gets random. I told the tech this means I am no longer able to do my work in PS CS5. Glad I kept a copy of my trusty CS3 around.

Wow so far changing this to "Basic" returns it to typical behavior, thanks! What do I lose going to Basic? It doesn't seem slower. I only ran Bridge of course, which must compete for graphic processor memory(?) (NVidia GTS 250/1024 MB).
Also: When you open a file in PS 5, the tool bars are independent of the file window. When you close the file window using the red button in the upper left hand corner, all of PS 5 disappears, and there is Bridge behind it  showing you your prior open folder of images. Now a big ugly empty PS window blocks that view. How do I get rid of that thing? Before I could also minimize just the file window to the dock, getting it out of the way temporarily so as to view other files and/ or bridge, without actually closing it.
Thanks again, the tiling really frustrated me.

  • Defect:  Sometimes opened sql/txt files are unreadable in worksheet.

    I haven't pinpointed the exact sequence of events yet. Sorry.
    I work on two different machines. One: 64bit running Vista. Two: 32bit running XP.
    They have the same fonts and operating system languages.
    I keep a set of files I'm working on on a usb stick (which appears to be working perfectly).
    Sometimes, but not always, when I open up a one of those files on the key, it shows up as square-box gibberish in the sql worksheet window.
    I can open the same file with notepad just fine, and paste the contents into the same sql worksheet just fine.
    But it's a darned nuisance, not to mention an opportunity to overwrite my work if I forget to close the open file in notepad and save it later.

    I've had a few moments to try to track down more info on this problem.
    I work on a 64bit vista machine at work and a 32bit windows xp machine at home.
    I'm at home, so I'll post what I discovered here, and then post what happens on the 64bit when I get to work tomorrow.
    All the files I'm discussing have only the standard ascii characters in them.
    Both machines have the same fonts and font setup, and the same OS language. I do not believe this is a font or language issue.
    I believe it may be an encoding issue.
    I opened up a .txt file with sql developer. It happened to work fine this time.
    I opened up the same .txt file with notepad, and saved it to a new .sql extension. It opened fine with sql developer.
    I opened up the original .txt file with notepad and saved it to a new .txt filename and chose the unicode encoding instead of the ansi encoding that notepad was defaulting to. I also used notepad to save the file to another .txt file and chose a utf-8 encoding for it.
    I opened up the unicode encoding file using sql developer and got gibberish. Upon closer inspection, I could actually read the code in the file, but each character had a box between it. I'll use [] to represent a box. So, my first line looked like this: [] [] []b[]e[]g[]i[]n[].
    I opened up the utf encoding file using sql developer and got some gibberish, but most of the file looked fine.
    My environment setting had UTF-8 as a setting.
    I changed the environment setting to UTF_16, and re-opened the files.
    The file saved as unicode is now readable and the other files are now complete gibberish.
    I'm guessing that my work machine has a different default encoding scheme at the operating system level, because I believe both are set up with the same settings inside sql developer. (I used the same written instructions for both.)
    I'll post what I find at work tomorrow.
    If this turns out to be correct, it would be nice if sql developer automatically checked the encoding of the file when it was loaded and acted accordingly. That appears to be a possible course of action, because when I open up each of the encoded files in notepad, it (a) displays each of them correctly automatically and (b) when I do a save as, it shows the encoding the file was last saved in as the default value.

  • Open URL or File not Working

    Hi
    I've scoured the forum and found some similar issues but not an answer to my problem.
    I have a button that launches a web page in a new browser window using "On success: Open URL or file". The Captivate files are published out as SWF and will be burnt to run from CD when I get this working. On my machines (I have tested on two computers) it works fine running locally, both off the hard drive and from CD. On my client's machines on their corporate network it doesn't work at all. There is no error message and the Flash security setting seem OK. When you click on the button nothing happens, zilch. I hope someone will be able to help with this one. Thanks in advance.

    Hi there
    I totally agree with you. It would be way cool if there were an easier way.
    Note that for CD-ROM/DVD, you can place a lightweight server (Server2Go) so that it tricks the content into believing it is being run from a server.
    Actually, you (and others) should Pepper the Adobe Wish Form asking for a simple replacement that works with CD-ROM/DVD that would ship with Captivate and operate as a button push to create the files needed.

    Reader 10 on a Windows Vista system cannot open some .pdf files. Ones that I create within MS Office open fine. An IRS file (Form W-9) opens fine online, but won't open after downloading. The computer response is "Not responding". Uninstall/reinstall hasn't changed anything, nor has rebooting. Does anybody have suggestions how to tackle this problem?

  • Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The file C:\Users\accountname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\emailaddress.ost cannot be opened.

    I don't have Exchange or anything like that. I did delete the Windows 8 Mail tile, would that have done anything? I've tried deleting the .ost file and opening again, but it's still coming up. My email is also an old fairly irrelevant server (mweb.co.za).
    I've looked on the Outlook 2013 pages here but nothing's working. I can't get outlook to open my gmail address either. Do I need to convert the .ost files or something?

    Hi,
    First, we can try to open Outlook with /resetnavpane command to check if this problem is caused by corrupted Navigation Pane settings. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook.exe /resetnavpane and press Enter.
    If the issue persists, we can try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and set up your email account in the new profile to check the result. To create a new mail profile, please refer:

  • InDesign crashes every time you double click to open an .indd file on Windows system

    InDesign crashes every single time you double click to open an InDesign file and has done so since replacement of the original version of InDesign introduced in the Creative Cloud launch.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I'd say it was unique to my system if I hadn't experienced the issue repeatedly on several different systems now.  You have to relaunch InDesign which then opens the file from recovery, so it saw the file you tried to launch in the first place.  This leads me to believe the problem lies with the file association registry of InDesign inside Windows systems.  I find it unbelievable that this problem still exists and remains unreported and that a solution hasn't been implemented by Adobe to rectify the issue.
    The double click is a fundamental tenant of opening files on a Windows system in the same way a single click is on a Mac.  Does InDesign crash ever time a Mac user clicks to open their files, I think not.
    Anyone got any ideas other than the obvious which is Adobe actually got their figure out and fixed it.
    Cheers,
    Pat Doyle

    Hi Michael,
    I'll give it a go.  Don't really like messing with the registry on Windows boxes.  Yes you can do it, but it can end up being a case of the operation was a success, but the patient died.
    Just was rather hoping someone else had already experienced this problem and posted the registry tweak.  Didn't want spend hours reinventing the wheel.  Not because I'm lazy, but I have so many demands on my time that resolving a minor issue that effects me only seems like it should be pretty low priority.
    The system I'm using is brand new, but the problem seems to have followed me regardless which may indicate that it is seated in my synchronization information somehow.  Really don't know how that could happen as I'm not an Adobe engineer or have the remotest idea where to even start looking.  So I think I'll mark your suggestion as the "Answer" and just learn to live with it.
    Windows eh! Can't live with - can't live without it.  I'm sure Mac can be just as temperamental. Just have to chalk this one up as being just another ghost in the machine.
    Thanks for all the advice you have kindly offered, much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Pat Doyle

  • I cannot open this PDF file in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 64-bit

    I have a PDF file that I could open on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader.  I then upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit laptop.  But now in Win7-64, I cannot open this same file using the same apps (Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat Reader XI). 
    When I try to open it in Acrobat 8, it does not load and instead a popup windows appears saying -
    Adobe Updater
    Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components? 
    And I can choose either the OK or Quit buttons.  When I click OK, a web browser starts and goes to this website -
    http://www.adobe.com/special/adobe_update_manager/?type=Filter&name=FOPN_foweb&version=0.0 .0.0&lang=en_US&os=Windows&osver=6.1.7601&appid=acrobat8pro-en_US&cpu=intel
    This webpage says -
    Adobe Update Manager
    Adobe cannot locate the requested plugin. New plugins will be listed on this page. Currently there are no plugins.
    So now I am stuck, no direction to go.  I am left without any solution from Adobe for Acrobat on this file.
    When I try to open this PDF file in Reader, it does not load and instead a web browser is spawned loading the webpage -
    http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
    This is the FileOpen Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat/Reader, which prompts to -
    Please click OK to download the FileOpen Plug-in Installer for Adobe Acrobat/Reader 
    I click on OK, download and run the Installer file, accept the terms, and installed the FileOpen Client (x64) B928.  Upon completion, it prompts to Finish.  But it does not automatically bring Reader up or try to load the file.  So I try again to load the PDF file into Reader.  But once again, the file does not load and the web browser is spawned loading the same FileOpen Plug-in Installer link.  I click OK again, and start the same FileOpen Client process.  This time, it recognizes that I have FileOpen Client installed, and the window gives me two choices, Repair or Remove.  So since I apparently need this Plug-in, I choose Repair.  The process seems to complete the Repair.  But when I try to load the file, it still brings me back to the FileOpen Plug-in webpage.  So now I am stuck again, and left without any solution from Adobe for Reader on this file. 
    I tried Adobe support.  But apparently Adobe does not support past releases of their products (Acrobat 8), and also does not give free support for the current version of their free products (Reader XI). 
    Can this be fixed? 

    How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible?  I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit.  It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues.  And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1. 
    And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible?  I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues.  And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other.  So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together.  If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together? 
    Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in.  So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed.  I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above.

  • Unable to start Photoshop CS6 - could not open a scratch file because the file is locked (Windows)

    When I first installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 I was unable to run Photoshop or Bridge CS6.  Photoshop would give me an error about "could not open a scratch file because the file is locked.  If I ran either of these programs as an administrator they would run without issue, this led me to believe that there was a permission issue somewhere.  After some digging I found out the both Bridge and Photoshop try to create a temp file (similiar to Photoshop Temp2777223910092) on the c:\ drive of the computer.  In my case the user that I was logged in with did not have access to write to the root of the C:\ drive.  Note that you run the program as the administrator and change the scratch disk location as that changes the preference for the administrator user and not the user that you are currently logged in as.
    To get around this issue I first had to give the user that I was logged on with write permissions to the root of the C:\ drive.  Next try and run Photoshop, you will get an error another error about the scratch disk and about and invalid or missing setting file.  To correct this you need to have run Photoshop as an administrator, next you can go to Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings and copy Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs and/or Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs to Users\<your logged in username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings.
    Photoshop and bridge should now start up with no issues.
    I hope that this can help others out there as this caused me a great deal of frustration when upgrading to CS6.

    station_two wrote:
    OK, here comes the explanation of what the scratch disk does and why it's optimal to have it on a physically separate internal drive (not partition!) other than your boot drive
    I probably shouldn't say anything since it could complicate this thread, but the rules of thumb can be different under special circumstances when SSD is involved.
    IF you have a LOT of empty space on your SSD-based system drive, then Photoshop can actually work great with it's scratch setting pointed at the system drive.  This is because a) SSD transfers are much faster than spinning hard drives and b) there's no seek time, so simultaneous transfers to/from scratch and swap files aren't devastating to performance, and you can see a net gain because of the increased I/O throughput over what's possible using a separate spinning drive for scratch.
    But if you don't have a huge amount of free space (hundreds of GB) on the system SSD, it's definitely better to use a separate drive, as station_two has said.
    Also, up to about a year or so ago, you had to try to severely limit write activity to your SSD drive, since you could actually wear them out by repeated high data write activity.  That's pretty much a non-issue now with the advent of things like the SandForce in-drive controller that does wear-leveling inside the drive.  Modern drives will last 10 years or more in normal typical use, without special consideration.
    As it turns out, making a RAID array of SSDs is a great way to boost performance across the board, have bunches of free space, and ensure even the heaviest usage doesn't shorten the drive life.  I have done so, creating a 2 TB system drive C: made from 4 SSDs and Photoshop's swap file (and pretty much everything else) pointed to C:.  This system flies, and I can barely tell when Photoshop and/or Windows "goes virtual" and starts using its scratch/swap files heavily.  I don't even notice Photoshop auto-saves.
    Sorry for the SSD diversion.
    Back on topic: 
    Pretty much everyone who's successfully using a computer - Mac and PC users alike - comes to realize after a while that the task of integrating things on their computers and making everything work falls on THEM, not the developers of applications like Adobe.  Some applications pose unique challenges, but to think you can just throw up your hands and try to make it someone else's problem when something goes wrong simply isn't a viable strategy.  Maybe that's how things should be, but it's not how it is.
    For those of you struggling to get Photoshop to run properly, bear in mind that it's on you to get things working.  It works for most folks.  It could be a configuration or setup choice you've made that may need revisiting, or some kind of restorative activity that you need to do, or even something very minor like clearing your Photoshop preferences, but it may well take your learning new things and doing things you didn't think you'd have to do to get back to where you can edit photos.  It's no one's problem but your own.
    So let us here on the forum help you - when we say to do something, try it.  We're not here to jerk you around; we're users just like you who have already found the ways to make things work, and we'd like to help you do the same.

  • Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

    I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
    it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
    The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

    This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
    My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
    To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
    I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
    PDF XChange (my favorite)
    Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
    Adobe (the bloated monster)
    Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
    ABBYY
    And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
    Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
    I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
    Here is what I've learned for my situation
    The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
    all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
    When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
    what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
    If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
    A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
    In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
     The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
    I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.
