Workspace Question in CS5

I just upgraded to CS5 and am trying to view thumbnails in Bridge as a grid with a preview image and it's metadata underneath it as I did in CS4. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. I can get the grid of thumbnails on the left with a preview on the right, but I can't get the metadata to show up underneath the preview as it used to do. Can this be done?
Many thanks,
Jeff

Thanks for your response Nini. I am able to get the preview and thumbnails set the way I want but sadly, I still can't get metadata to be displayed under the large preview image the way it did in Bridge CS4. Has this type of layout been whacked in CS5, or am I whacked? I don't want to be the raspberry seed in anyone's wisdom tooth in regards to this but I liked seeing a large preview image with the metadata underneath and still have the thumbnails up on the left side of the screen.

  • My laptop was stolen :( Question about CS5

    My laptop was stolen earlier this month, i have a two part question, I still have the original dvds for Photoshop and Indesign the new laptop has Windows 8. I've heard CS5 versions  will work on Windows 8? the other part of the question is what do I have to do to get Photoshop to work on my new laptop I used both my codes up on the laptop and that of my partner? I have a police report to verify this is true.
    A response would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Al

    Contact support by phone or web chat to reset activations/ get a new serial and have the old one blacklisted. The rest is one of those "maybe" things. On a general level CS5 should work on Win 8, but there may be minor issues requiring some tweaking.

  • Bridge Dual Monitors CS3 Workspace Questions

    I can't seem to figure out a few things regarding running dual monitors. Run windows XP, have the latest bridge/cs 3 updates. Sometimes everything works fine, other times it doesn't.
    I like having my preview pane on monitor #1, directly in front of me. I also like opening the selected photo in RAW from monitor #1 and having the RAW window come up on monitor #1.
    Most often the RAW window will open up on Monitor #2, which I do not want to happen. On Monitor #2, I have my content pane and my metadata & folders showing.
    I've reversed 1:2 and 2:2 and can't get it to work right either. Could someone provide some guidance? Been searching options and can't figure it out.
    Another topic that is not related to dual montiors. Sometimes my preview tab, will not show the selected photo in it. I usually reset Bridge on start up and it'll be there...but sometimes the photo disappears. The tab will still be there. Any help/ideas would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I discovered that with dual monitors if the window is maximized it has no preview image (default workspace), just a green pane. If you use the double headed arrow and pull back the dividing line between thumb/preview pane or preview/metadata pane it revels dozens of "copies" of underneath. The preview will only show up when the thumb window pane is moved quite a ways to the left. It is almost like the real workspace is on the bottom and the others are on top.
    The solution I have found is to click RESTORE DOWN (middle window icon) and then everything works correctly, even if I enlarge the window to full monitor. If I maximize it reverts again. Am using Vista and 2 monitors. Can work with this now that I know what to do, but a little puzzling. For anyone not seeing a preview image, or metadata, might be worth while to see if maximize window mode is the problem.
    Perhaps you could experiment with maximize - restore down and see if it helps with your problem.
    Probably get a better response if you post questions in Bridge question forum rather than feature forum.

  • Saving Workspaces in Illustrator CS5

    I am currently running Mac OS 10.6.3 and Illustrator CS5. Every time I change the workspace and save it, it is nowhere to be found let alone loaded. Any solutions?

    Saved workspace file can be found @ "<Curent User>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_US/Workspaces".
    If you are not finding the saved workspace here and in Windows->Workspace menu of illustrator then try deleting preferences and then launch illustrator.

  • Issues with Workspaces in Photoshop CS5

    In previous editions of workspaces in CS applications, if I closed a palette, or moved palettes around and then selected a workspace, all palettes would return right back to the correct positions and turned on as originally setup in that workspace. Now, in Photoshop CS5, this does not happen. Palettes do not move back to their original position and closed palettes do not open when a Workspace is selected. Is there a fix to this problem?
    Thank you!

    Thank you for the fix c.p, is there a setting to have the Workspace automatically reset when it's reselected?

  • Workspace question

    Hi,
    I have a question about the folowing source code:
    1 WorkspaceDef defaultWS =
    T3Services.getT3Services().workspace().getWorkspace();
    2 // Attach to the system subWorkspace already created
    3 WorkspaceDef myDataWS = defaultWS.getWorkspace("SETTING_WORKSPACE",
    WorkspaceDef.ATTACH, WorkspaceDef.SCOPE_SERVER);
    4 String JDBCDEBUG= (String) myDataWS.fetch("JDBCDebug");
    5 System.out.println(JDBCDEBUG);
    6 myDataWS.store("JDBCDebug","2");
    Is there a way so i change the value of JDBCDebug variable without creating
    it
    I first created the Variable JDBCDebug in a startUpClass and when i want to
    change the variable i don't want to recreate it.
    what i mean is:
    is there a method like myDataWS.change("JDBCDebug","4");
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    Yes it is possible to automate this process using the Workspace API. In fact the API doc has a sample that demonstrates how to import a document into the Workspace.

  • Workspace Background missing CS5

    Can anyone assist with the following?
    I am running CS4 on a mac pro. I have recently downloaded the trial version of CS5. The installation appeared to have installed correctly, indeed it operates quite normally with one exception ....
    I can see my desktop through what should be the workspace background. I have all the CS5 menus in the correct places ie at the top of the screen, the tools to left and the palettes to the right but the centre working area is completely transparent so much so that I can see any open programs running. In short if I open CS5 and do nothing at all the workspace background is missing. If I open an image and size it accordingly CS5 appears visually quite normal until I close the image when the desktop can once again be seen.
    I have tried resetting the workspace. I have tried all the pre loaded workspaces each provides the same problem. I have 'Googled' this issue without success.
    Regards

    Nice to meet you. My first Mac was a IIcx. Is that "long-time" enough?
    I'm fully capable of understanding when marketing mumbo-jumbo is being pushed. But I'm more inclined to believe an actual Photoshop developer than groundless conspiracy theories from someone in a forum. Why would Adobe need to market this feature? No reasonable customer is going to return a Photoshop Mac license, return their Mac and go back to using Windows because they are susprised by being able to see through to the desktop. Adobe has nothing to gain from this feature, except what John Nack described.
    UIs are not designed to cater to an imaginary mass migration. UIs are designed to improve productivity.
    To think Adobe is trying to help a migration from one platform to another is insanity. The relationship between Apple and Adobe is no better than the relationship between Microsoft and Adobe. Adobe does not care what platform you use. They do not sell OS's.
    You clearly did not read Nack's full post or else you would have noticed the discussion of apps outside the Adobe realm. There are plenty of Mac apps that use the full screen... even before OSX. Kai, anyone? If you are so put off by this idea, you may want to invest in incontinence apparel prior to upgrading to Lion, which will offer even more fullscreen apps.
    A return tip... just because people might read your posts... doesn't mean you are in any way believed.

  • Two Questions Re CS5

    Just upgraded to CS5, and two things have me puzzled:
    1) when I have multiple documents open as tabs, I used to be able to move items from one document to another just by drag selecting an object up to the desired tab... usually, I am holding the Command key. In CS4, no problem -- in CS5 I have to release Command, back off the tab, and re-hover... is there a way to get the CS4 functionality back?
    2) why did the "y" coordinate flip? when using the move command in CS4, inputting a positive value moved an object "up" (toward the menu bar) and a negative value moved it "down?" Is this another setting that can be switched back?
    Thousands of man-hours of doing it wrong can't be wrong, at this point....
    -g-

    g,
    About the coordinate flip (someone with CS5 will have to answer the first question):
    As you have noticed, they have reversed the Y axis. But you can unreverse it and get back to what you are used to.
    To change the ruler origin (and direction of the Y axis) in CS5 to be the same as in CS4 and earlier, you may:
    0) Close down Illy (you can only change the preference file with Illy closed);
    1) Find and open the AIPrefs (Win speak) or Adobe Illustrator Prefs (Mac speak) file; it is a hidden file in the hidden folder Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings
    2): Find and change the following two bits of code:
    /isRulerOriginTopLeft 1 >>> /isRulerOriginTopLeft 0 (change 1 to 0)
    /isRulerIn4thQuad 1 >>> /isRulerIn4thQuad 0 (change 1 to 0)
    This is a global change so you only have to do it once (just as you can undo it once).

  • [JS][CS5] question on CS5

    Hi.
    My question is 2 parts.
    1) Will my scripts for CS3 run natively in CS5?  I know I can version control them, but I have always wanted to work natively as much as possible.
    2) My main client that I have written many scripts for have told me that they will be getting InDesign CS5 in a couple of months.  I have not found an official release date yet from Adobe. Anyone here know? (Silly question, I know some of you probably even have a beta)
    Cheers
    Roy

    You probably know the answer to your own question!
    Those that know can't say, and those that say don't know...
    You know the history of scripting right?
    Things change (at least they did with every release until now), but 
    you have always(usually) been able to fall back with versioning...

  • Merge/Refresh Workspace: Question concerning conflict resolution

    hi!
    thank's so far for answering our last question,now another question popped up during developing :)
    we now have a state with our application where the user can select which objects to merge/refresh and finally commit these changes.
    if there have been any conflicts he had to select a resolve operation for them. so far so good.
    now, our method that performs the merging looks (no surprise) something like that: (the numbers are markers, used later on)
    (1)
    beginResolve();
    do a few resolveConflicts();
    (*) commit;
    commitResolve();
    (2)
    (3)
    do_merge/refresh_operations_of_death_in_correct_order();
    (4)
    ok, first question is concerning the line with the (*).
    it seems we cannot call commitResolve() when there is an open transaction? as we run a spring managed application we first had it that way, that all of the above lines were executed within on transaction (that is, the complete merge/refresh operation going from (1) to (4)).
    that didn't work, as we got exceptions on commitResolve(), that there is an open database transaction. is that because of the transaction wrapping the complete method? or did we do something else wrong?
    now we split the method in two parts: one for the conflict resolution ((1) to (2) and one for the rest ((3) to (4)), both running within a transaction now. that works.
    however, I feel a little bit unsafe with that, questions are:
    if the first part runs in an own transaction and is commited: does the commitResolve() actually write data? or is that just something temporary on a per-session base? because, if something fails in the second part ((3) to (4)) then the transaction of that part of course rolls back fine, but the result of the conflict resolve part is probably still there? could we then, somewhere in the exception handling of the second transaction, call rollbackResolve()? or does it always have to happen within a conflict resolution session, that means, within (1) to (2)? the docs state the latter, but we're not really sure.
    if something fails for whatever reason during the actual merge/refresh part, we need to make sure, that everything is rolled back to the state before
    starting the whole process. it would be very dangerous to have some resolved conflicts hanging around that get merged/refreshed sometime later when the user doesn't even think about them.
    btw, we also found the docs a bit inconsistent concerning conflict resolution. at some point it is explained, that after calling the resolveConflicts() a commit is needed, at another point this is left out and it is said, that one would just need to call commitResolve() afterwards and THEN a commit. it seems only the first explanation is correct (with another commit after the commitResolve()).
    so, if you could clarify a bit on how a conflict resolution + merge/refresh session should look like concerning the management and scope of transactions, that would be really of great help and highly appreciated! the first tests worked fine with the way we have it working right now, but we always feel like there's a huge pitfall hiding somewhere ;)
    best regards,
    Andreas

    Hi Ben,
    after your explanation I agree. As the workspaces only carry the difference information of course there actually is no data in the child workspace if the object has been deleted in the parent.
    I guess for the first we should not display this object to the user except when he's attempting to do a refresh, but not for a merge (or the other way round if the delete was done in the
    child and NC in parent).
    We didn't realize there is a rollbackTable with a WHERE clause, quite nice! Still, nothing practicable for us as we can't really know when a user might want to undo a delete and thus
    which savepoint to use.
    Reinserting would work, yes. We even tried that once for another scenario. Though in our case it would be important that the object also gets the same PK again, which is possible but still
    feels like an ugly hack :-) Anyway, back to topic.
    For the second scenario I was unfortunately mixing some WM and our users' terminology, thus it was not 100% clear. Sorry for that. What I meant was the following:
    1) create new object in child
    2) merge this object to parent
    2a) DIFF is clear now, everything OK
    3) goto parent workspace, new object is there
    4) modify the new object there
    5) goto child workspace again
    6) open differences-viewer of our application <- here I wrote the users do a refresh, I meant they are >planning< to do a refresh, but not actually did it yet
    OK, at point 6) we now get the diff information from the DIFF view and have an U for the parent and an I for the child. After your explanations and thinking over it some time we realized, that
    this of course is totally correct: the last change in the parent was the update, the last change in the child the insert.
    As the current version of our differences-viewer more or less displays the information from the DIFF-views in a straight way, the user now sees, that the object was updated in parent and new/inserted in child,
    because those are the last operations for this row in both of the workspaces. That's what I meant is not intuitive, especially if they did not do all the operations themselves like in our small example and within
    the timespan of 2 minutes.
    It seems, we have to build some more abstraction around our current process?
    To us it seems there are two solutions to this "problem", correct us if we oversee something:
    1) currently synchronization within our application is directional, so either merge or refresh (except for conflict resolution, where the user might also want to decide to keep the object from the target workspace)
    Thus we simply can ignore the DiffCode for the target workspace, except for conflicts, where we easily get the information from the CONF views
    EDIT: no, we cannot simply ignore the target diffcode :( After some more thinking we have the same problem as with a real bidirectional synchronization process.
    2) on the long run we actually planned to provide a bidirectional merge-tool to the user. In that case it's not that easy, as there is no single target workspace.
    We didn't go into details yet, but probably we would need to retrieve further information, like e.g. the change timestamps for the DIFF rows for child and parent?
    Then we could see what was actually the last change and display only that (except for U/U conflicts, but then again we get that information from the CONF view)
    Any hints on how to do something like that the best way?
    EDIT: We think it boils down to the question: how can we know, which parts of the DIFF have already been handled in a merge/refresh before and which haven't?
    And another question, this time concerning the original topic: conflict resolution.
    Is it possible in some way to ignore conflicts during a merge or refresh? Our users will definitely need that. The only idea we came up with yet would be again to use a savepoint (as you suggested
    already concerning error rollback), that is have a savepoint (e.g. for the last time the workspace was synchronized) and then "fake resolve" the conflict (use CHILD with resolveconflicts) but do not
    include the row in the following mergeTable() call. After merging has succeeded, use rollbackTable() for that row to the previous savepoint. Would that work?
    Thanks again and regards,
    Andreas Schilling

  • Question about CS5 Upgrade from CS3

    Hi everyone,
    I have Adobe CS3 and want to upgrade to CS5.  I noticed Staples are selling the CS5 upgrade version for a decent price.
    But it doesn't state if it's for CS4 or CS3/CS2.  I contacted them, but they said they are both the same.... but I don't know if I can believe them.
    Is the upgrade version for CS4 and CS3/CS2 the same thing in retail outlets? (i.e. you can enter in a CS4, CS3, and CS2 serial number for the same disc or is there separate products for each previous version - i.e. CS4 upgrade is different than a CS3 upgrade?)
    I noticed when you buy it from the Adobe Store or even other sites like Newegg, they are marked as 'CS4 Upgrade' and 'CS3/CS2 Upgrade'... but on Staples its only 'Upgrade' and they told me it 'probably works for CS3 as well'.
    Link to product on Staples site:  http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=885931&affixedcode=WWhttp://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?webid=885938&CatIds=&AffixedCode=WW
    Your help is greatly appeciated!
    Thanks!
    J

    The upgrades are different in that they require different serial numbers for the upgrade. I don't believe you can use the CS 4 upgrade if you only have CS3. Call Customer Service to get an official response.

  • Illustrator CS4 Workspace Question

    Hello,
    I was wondering how to keep the windows in the position that I save them in after closing and re-opening Illustrator. I've saved the workspace many times as a custom workspace, but every time I re-open Illustrator, the windows are all stacked on top of one another.
    Also, any actions that I save and load are gone the next time that I open Illustrator. This results in my having to reload them.
    One more thing. I have an action set that performs these tasks in order:
    Select All / Convert Text to Outlines / Save as EPS (to a specified Network Folder) / Close File
    This results in an Illustrator error that gives the following string: R6025 -pure virtual function call. Afterward, Illustrator closes.
    Any help on these 3 issues would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Luke

    I concur with Monika regarding the prefs/workspaces/actions - you may have permissions problems. The same could be true for the networking stuff - you have limited access to the server and AI can#t cope with it...

  • Question about CS5

    hi everybody,
    I have a computer and I use it for work, editing, using premiere cs3. I'd like to know, if upgrading, for CS5, it will cause problems, how to catch the video at the time of issue .. follows the description of the computer:
    windows 7 home  premium
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    2 gb RAM
    Video Card Intel  Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
    Video Memory  384 MB
    thanks

    Bill is a kind and gentle soul who shares his knowledge freely and otherwise gives to this community.  He is the force behind the premiere benchmark (and so one of the best authorities on what is underpowered).  He has now taken on a junior colleague (heh, heh; neither Bill nor Harm are spring chickens) to assist him in the latest offering.
    You should fully reward him by giving double points for a correct answer, but, alas, you can but mark it answered and he will get a dazzling 10 points.  Only moderators can claim to give millions of points for various feats of daring.
    BTW, don't forget that PR CS4 is included in the CS5 suite.  I upgraded to CS4 from CS3 at the perfect moment to get CS5 included.  I finally installed CS4 to test an idea, and find that it runs about the same (for SD only material of course) as my even-more-underpowered-than-your-laptop does with CS3.
