Workaround for Multitrack Punch in Take selection Problems

Hi all,
In a session recently I found a work around for the fact that, when you're recording to more than one channel in a group dropping in is flakey as anything.
Currently if you drop in while multiple channels are grouped only one channel will replace the existing region and all the others will stay in overlap mode, meaning things get very confusing an edits get very messy. And when not using replace mode the comping tool will show different things in each region ie one will show the comp, one will show the new take only, some may show the old take.
BUT if you ALWAYS use the group toggle to turn off all groups when dropping in you don't get this problem. And using the comping/multitake tool works fine too.
It's a bit fiddly, and I'm sure some people will have either found this already or never come across the problem as they don't use groups. But it was a revelation to me, it's a shame to have to work around an obvious flaw like this, but it's nice to find a way of saving some time fixing drop ins.

Hi ckhordiasma
Thanks for reviving ths old thread. How about trying Dolby drivers? It sounds great and could possibly resolve those issues without going through too much troubleshooting.

Workaround for the Fade/Appear blocky text problem in IE

Just wanted to share with folks a workaround for the IE
"blocky text" problem that you see when using Fade effects like the
one used in this example:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DetailRegionEffectsSample.html
It turns out if you set the 'background' CSS property on the
element you are fading, that IE properly renders the text. So to
fix the effects sample above, all you would have to do is modify
this CSS rule in the file to place a background color on the
description region to get things to look good in IE:
#description {
opacity: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
background: white;
So if folks have been avoiding the use of effects because it
makes things look terrible in IE, you now have a workaround.
--== Kin ==--

I was using spry's AppearFade effect to transition between
"slides" in what equates to a viewstack that I created.
Then I noticed that it would take bold text in IE and make it
look all smudgy or blurry.
Well, after working on it for a while, I got to thinking,
"This problem is specific to text rendered in MicroSofts
browser"... "Hmmm, I wonder".
So, I tried using this style rule: [ font-family:"MS Sans
Serif",Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; ].
Lo and behold, feed the stupid MS browser an MS font and it
does not blur the text.
I just wanted to get this our there. Because someone might
want to solve this in a way where they don't have to set a
background color...

Workaround for DNG 1:1 Preview Render Problems

I decided to convert all my 20,000 image previews to 1:1 in Lightroom--it speeds LR up by a factor of 2 or better.
Some directories of a couple of hundred images were taking hours to generate the 1:1s--other directories of the same size were taking 1/10 th the time. I tweaked all my settings, optimized the DB, defragged everything, checked that my Virus checker was excluded from anything to do with LR. The problem persisted.
I discovered by watching the conversion process that it was only DNG files that were slow--and that LR could not even do 1:1s for some of them (it just hung, necessitating a restart of the render 1:1 preview process each time)) and it marked those with an '!' badge. Times of 2-4 minutes for some DNGs were not unusual. But, some DNGs did their 1:1 previews in 10-20 seconds! Why?
In one directory 48 out of 140 DNGs would not produce 1:1 previews, and further LR reported that it had 'trouble' with those files and I would not be able to work on them--indeed, they only showed in LR and nothing could be done to them, except, thankfully, Reject or Delete. All these files had previously been edited sucessfully at standard previews, apparently normal.
After much time, energy, and frustration I found a workaround. I Deleted all 48 files to the Recycle bin, tested them in other DNG aware applications (they all worked normally), then put them in a new directory, reimported them to LR. Now they all work and have previews converted to 1:1s in 10-20 seconds. Go figure!
Now, I have hundreds more to find and use the workaround on if I want all the files in my 20 K catalog to be 1:1. From now on all client DNGs will go into their own catalogues. No other file type was affected, by the way.
So, another bug in LR to be aware of! I have no idea why this happened, except that LR did something to these images in trying to convert their previews to 1:1 that caused them to be excluded.

Creating action for pen tool "add to selection" problem.

I am trying to quicken my workflow and want to create an action for this instead of right click>make selection>add to selection. I do this a lot for my job and it gets tedious. I got an action to work except on little quirky issue. When I did this without using an action, when I clicked "OK" on the dialog box for the "add to selection" area, then I got the resulting marching ants with my intended selection and that pen path would automatically disappear. And on to the next pen path to start it over...All is good so far(except the tediousness Im trying to stop).
So the action for this results in the same thing except that instead of getting just the marching ants(as I want), I get the marching ants with the last pen path still showing under that area of marching ants I just had "added to." I know I can just then hit "delete" to get rid of that pen path and get just my selection, but that defeats my intent on streamlining the process.
Any ideas on why this happens or a completely different way to do this with as quick of a result as the hotkey I set for this action?
Thanks.

It looks like what is needed is some way to deselect all the points on a selected object, while keeping the object itself selected.
Using the built-in InDesign tools, the way to do that would seem to be: switch to the direct selection white arrow tool (by pressing CMD) as you have been doing. Click anywhere on the path of the object. This clears all selected points while keeping the object selected. Now release CMD to get back to the Pen tool, and add your point.
If this is too fiddly (it can be tricky to click on the path itself, although the white arrow changes subtely to show you that you're over the path), you can alternatively use the following one line script:
try {app.selection[0].select()}catch(_){};
This does the same thing: It deselects all selected points on the current page item.
To use, copy this line to a text editor. Save with the extension .jsx and place in your InDesign scripts folder. You can then assign a keyboard shortcut to the script, so that it should be very easy to deselect all the points.

Select Problem For 'Back Menus' - Zen V P

Just got the Zen V Plus and tried to set the time/date. Followed the 'guide' and after the time/date screen pressed the 'back button'. Got the Set Alarm/Date/Time (etc) menu but when I selected an option (moved joystick down to desired option then pressed the joystick) the time/date display came up and I was NOT ABLE to set the date. Same thing occurred trying to set the date (tried it several times and it worked once .... then attempted again - several times (4) but it only worked once). Turns out I have the same problem with any option in ANY 'back' menu. Suggestion?
Do I have a defecti've unit (can't be the 'operator' who is defecti've! haha)? Should I return it and try another?
Actually not that interested in playing music .... it's more for playing .wma(DRM) book files.

Latest ... updated my firmware (to ZENVPlus_PCFW_P4S_L2___0.exe) and it fixed the select problem for SET DATE/TIME etc however
the SELECT procedure doesn't always work for 'back button' menus. Example: tried to set a bookmark... following procedure in 'guide', pressed 'back button' and held it, from 'NOW PLAYING' screen - works 2 out of 5 times. Most of the time, pressing and holding takes you back to the previous menu - not to the 'back' (or in this case the SET BOOKMARK) menu. Sounds like something for the next version of firmware ... the code doesn't always set an internal timer correctly (am a programmer of 30 years ... part of that time pgmmng firmware).

Workaround for IE active content problem?

Adobe
posted
a workaround for existing web pages to respond to the change in
IE that requires users to manually activate Flash content. I tried
doing the same document.write in an external file for the HTML
files FlashHelp generates wherever I found the <object> and
<embed> tags, but I get a script error ("Object expected") in
the lines where I call the function. (The solution worked for me in
simple HTML pages with Captivate movies, so I know it can work.)
The only reason I can think of that it won't work is that the
scripts are concatenating strings, not just showing a movie where
the <object> and <embed> tags are. Has anyone found a
workaround for FlashHelp so users don't have to manually activate
the top and left panes? I put in a "wish" for Adobe to provide a
solution on the site and later in an update or new version of
RoboHelp (which is another issue in and of itself), but who knows
when the developers will be able to come up with it. Thanks!

Thanks for asking, Mimi. Here are more specific steps:
1. Open Notepad or another program for creating text files.
2. Create two functions. For example:
function insertMaster1() {
function insertMaster2() {
You can call your functions anything you want, but the names
must be different. Note that for the moment, they're empty, but
we'll change that in a minute.
3. Save the Notepad file with a JS file extension (for
example, runactive.js). In Notepad, specify “All Files”
for “Save as type” so that it doesn’t save as a
TXT.
4. When you generate your FlashHelp system, it creates a
bunch of HTM files containing JavaScript in the destination folder
you specified when generating your output. Locate wf_master.htm and
wf_navpane.htm in the output folder. (If you leave RoboHelp to use
its defaults, it puts your help system in an !SSL!/FlashHelp
directory within your project folder.)
5. Open wf_master.htm.
6. In the <head> tags, insert a line that references
your JS file:
<script language=“JavaScript”
src=“runactive.js”></script>
7. Find the lines in the code that look like this:
// Insert the “Master” SWF
8. Highlight everything AFTER this commented-out block until
the </script> tag. The last thing you highlight should be
"document.write(strObject);".
9. Cut the highlighted code and paste it into the first
function in your JS file so it looks like this:
function insertMaster1() {
// Build up the variable string we will be sending
strFlashVars = "uniqueHelpID=" + parent.UniqueID();
……(more code)
document.write(strObject);
10. In the place where you just cut all that code out of
wf_master.htm, insert a call to the function:
insertMaster1();
That’s all you need because all that code you just
moved was already in <script> tags in the HTM file. The
</script> tag should come immediately after this function
call.
11. Open wf_navpane.htm.
12. Repeat steps 6 – 10 for wf_navpane.htm. The code
we’re concerned with in this file looks almost exactly like
that in wf_master.htm, but there are a few lines less this time.
Put the code you take out of wf_navpane.htm into the second
function in your JS file. Where you cut out the code from
wf_navpane.htm, put a call to the second function (it should come
right before the end of the <script> tags):
insertMaster2();
13. Save your JS file and the two HTM files.
14. Whenever you re-generate your output, RoboHelp is going
to erase your new versions of these HTM files and create its own
again. Copy your new versions of wf_master.htm and wf_navpane.htm
to another location (can be a folder within your output folder).
Now you have them so you can paste them back over RoboHelp’s
versions each time you finish generating your output. For example,
I would stow my wf_master.htm and wf_navpane.htm in a folder called
"drop files." Then, after I get done generating my output, I copy
those files and paste them in the output folder, letting them save
over the ones that RoboHelp created.
15. To test it once you've finished the swap, find the HTM
file in your output folder that is named after your project. For
example, if my project is called flying_monkey, I would find
flying_monkey.htm. Open this HTM file in Internet Explorer, and you
shouldn’t have any messages telling you that you have to
press Enter or Spacebar or click on the panes to activate them.
This runs from the same basic idea as Adobe’s
workarounds for Flash—we’re going to a file external to
the HTM files for the active content tags. Hope you find this
useful! Let me know if you run into any problems.

Better workaround for the whine problem

I have discovered a workaround for the commonly reported electronic whine in the MacBook Pro.
As most will know, if you open PhotoBooth and run it in the background it will get rid of the whine. I also noticed that the same worked in ANY application that uses the iSight.
So, looking around the Apple website for widgets I stumbled across this . . . .
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/webcams/mirror.html
It solves the problem!!!!! Runs in the background, in the Dashboard, takes up no resources also!!

Didn't read that whole thread on the issue did you?
It also kills your battery life.
The issue I don't believe is related to the CPU directly but is related to the overall power drain on the system..it seems anything that causes the system to use more power 'solves' the problem.

Workaround for JSFL shape selection bug?

There seems to be a bug in the document selection reporting in JSFL in CS4 (haven't tested earlier versions). I submitted it as a bug to Adobe but I'd really like to find a workaround for it. I've included my bug report below. Has anyone else encountered this? If so, have you figured out a workaround? It's pretty annoying, making the tool I'm working on really difficult to manage.
******BUG******
After performing a publish preview, fl.getDocumentDOM().selection reports an incorrect selection of raw shapes.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create a JSFL command with the following contents:
doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
fl.trace("there are " + doc.selection.length + " items selected");
2. Start the authoring environment fresh, with a new document.
3. Draw several shapes on the stage, not touching each other, all in the same frame and layer.
4. Select one of those shapes but leave the others unselected.
5. Run the previously created JSFL command. It will send the following text to the output panel, as one would expect:
"there are 1 items selected"
6. Do a publish preview (either Flash or HTML).
7. When it comes up, close the preview window.
8. Deselect all and then select one of the shapes (again, keeping the others unselected).
9. Run the JSFL command again. This time, it will say that there are n items selected (where n is the number of shapes you drew in step 3). So if you drew three shapes, it will print out the following:
there are 3 items selected
Note that this result will be the same even if you go to a different document, do a publish preview on that document, then return to the original. It seems that simply doing a publish preview alters Flash's state to report the selection incorrectly.
Results: The JSFL command reports that all the shapes are selected, despite the fact that only one of them is. The only way I've found to get Flash back to its normal behavior is to restart the authoring environment.
Expected results: In the steps above, the JSFL command should always print out that there is one element selected. There's no reason that doing a publish preview should change that.

When selected all shapes in selection are treated as one. You can see it if you run this script with selected multiple shapes:
fl.trace( fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].contours.length );
It will output you twise bigger number then selected shapes (because each Shape has two contours - one clockwise, other counterclockwise).
Of course this. implementation is strange for me too. Thats how i found your post

Workaround for not being able to reference a multi-select field in a calculated field?

Does anyone have a workaround for the fact that SP doesn't allow the use of a multi-select choice field to be used in a calculation in a calculated column? I have a list that WAS a single choice in a Status field with three other calculated columns
that were dependent upon that field. Then I had to change the Status field to be to multi-select (checkboxes). Now of course my calculated columns don't work. In addition, the end user can't fill them in either.
I've got a Status field (multi-select), a Status Date field and Expiration Date field (calc). The expiration date's calculation is shown below. This worked great until I was asked
to change the Status field to multi-select.<o:p></o:p>
=IF(Status="NoI
Review",DATE(YEAR([Status Date]),MONTH([Status Date]),DAY([Status
Date])+21),"")<o:p></o:p>
There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

Hi run4it,
Since SharePoint calculated column cannot reference the choice field with multiple-select value enabled, a workaround is to use workflow to copy the "Status" column value to another single line text column, then reference this single line text column in
calculated column.
Thanks,
Daniel Yang

Workaround for Canvas.removeCommand Sony Ericsson problem wanted

Is there a workaround for this problem (Sony Ericsson Phones)? http://developer.sonyericsson.com/message/47012 It's about Canvas.RemoveCommand. When I remove and add commands old commands are sometimes left in the list of commands on the right menu button. I have a Sony Ericsson K610i. I added more repaint();'s only resulting in a list of 5 commands. The list i supposed to be 2 commmands but I usually get 2 valid + 1 old command in the list at this stage in my midlet.

Well, I found a temporary solution. When you are having a conversation at iChat and want to leave it, don't close the conversation first, but try to close the headset pressing the button for a long time. The OS will get the message "Bluetooth Disconnected" but the next time the headset (open it again of course) will work!
Try it!

Problems understanding workarounds for 192804

Hello,
i have a problem that looks very similar to that described in "Known Issue #192804" (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/13164/en#192804_by_Category).
The Problem is I don't quite understand the workarounds (For example, what is a "prim"?, or what is meant by "use this constant as the new type for the variant", a typedef? or what?).
Could anybody be so kind and make a short example VI how this Workarounds would look in a VI?
Many thanks in advance.

"prim" is a common abbrevation for "primitive" which are most (if not all) 'yellowish' block diagram functions. So this refers to the yellowish "Variant To Data" function.
The bug obviously is that the type is modified during compilation. By recreating it, you force LV to recompile the code and this should resolve the issue. But the 'type' you wired must be created new.
So the procedure suggested here is to open a new VI. Drop the "Variant To Data" and connect the constant data type you were using (copy) from your original VI. Run the new VI once. Create an indicator on the "data" output of "Variant To Data", cut it out and put it into your original VI. Change it to a constant, remove the "datatype" constant and use the new constant instead....
I think, suggestion 2 should be quite clear.

Is "very very very slow" 30 seconds or 30 minutes or 30 hours or 30 years?
It is possible that you have a hardware problem which is causing the slow operation (in my case, it was a bad card reader, but it could also be a bad USB port or USB cable or bad camera card). In fact, in my opinion, these issues are 99.9% of the time hardware issues.

Workaround for Firefox SVG hyperlink problem?

I am struggling with the Firefox 1.5 specific problem when using drilldowns with SVG charts.
In IE 6, Mozilla 1.7 and Firefox 1.0.7 it works fine, but not with Firefox 1.5.
Whenever I click on a link in a chart the link will be opened inline on the same page similar to an IFRAME ( <img src="http://i1.tinypic.com/skzz9f.jpg" border="0" alt="Image hosting by TinyPic"> ) . I don't want it inline. Seems to be a problem with the EMBED tag and Firefox 1.5.
Did anybody find a workaround for Firefox 1.5 and SVG?
Thanks,
~Dietmar.

Hi Carl,
Thats awesome! Thanks :). Took me while to figure it out, but when I'm hooked on a problem, I usually don't give up that easily ;).
I guess cross-browser SVG support still has a good way to go.
That would be a good addition to the wiki.OK. Is linking to the blog article ok or shall I create a complete entry?
