Action sometimes ignores the isolation mode

I created an action to create this shadow effect:

Untitled-3-02.png

This action is to create a compound path, and then go into isolation mode. When I created the action first everything went well. However, I have illustrator to close and reopen the action ignores the isolation mode and the action breaks a little.

But it's the really odd thing; If I go through the action one step at a time manually by clicking on each of them slowly it works again. Then I can play the action automatically without any problem.

If you want to try the action yourself here is a download link, that I will stay active for a while

Dropbox - Long Shadows.aia

To me, this seems to be a bug. However, it's really frustrating.

Is there a work around at all, or a solution to why he does this?

I just tried your action in AI CS 5 and it worked as expected (assumed I did not properly understand your instructions).

But this does not mean that it is not a problem. Today, the actions of Illustrator can be quite unreliable. Often, certain steps are simply ignored and remove certain steps when to stop smoking and to revive the program is a known problem.

Sorry to not be more constructive. One thing, you can always try is to decrease the speed of reading back to the action. Sometimes, it helps.

  • Concise description of the isolation modes

    I find the documentation ThinApp on patterns of isolation is a bit confusing and seems a bit incomplete. I wanted to confirm my understanding of the modes of insulation and some gaps in my understanding that relate to packages, the registry and folders of files.

    Scope: Am I right that all isolation modes (Full, merged and WriteCopy) can all be used in all these places, and if not, that can be used where?

    Package.ini - to set the defaults, when not specified in the folder or registry key.

    K_KEY.txt files *-for each registry key. Keys not specified by default? isolation, it by default for the parameter in package.ini?

    #Attributes.ini files - for each folder in the sandbox - return to the settings of the parent directory by default if not specified. Package.ini parameters by default if not specified for the top-level folder?

    Use: Can you please confirm my understanding of each of the modes of isolation, and they are applied equally to the registry and folders?

    Full: read and write in the sandbox, do not access resources outside of the virtual bubble for this element.

    WriteCopy: attempt to bed to sandbox, but fallback to the host if a machine key or folder does not exist. All entries go to the sandbox only.

    Fusion: read from the sandbox if an entry is available, but the downturn on the host if a key or folder does not exist. No idea on the logic of reschedule.

    Hi JohnFx,

    ThinApp virtualization can ensure spacing of host file system and registry application data virtualized using files of sandbox.

    The isolation mode setting controls the degree and the behavior of the separation. Using the bad isolation mode can cause the application or changes made to the file to not be visible to other applications on the host computer.

    Merged

    • Elements of the system at this location are visible to the application. If a part of the system and virtual elements exist in the same place, the application sees the virtual element.

    • Changes to virtual items go to the sandbox.

    • Amendments to the elements of the system go into the system.

    • New items are created on the system.

    WriteCopy

    • Elements of the system at this location are visible to the application. If a part of the system and virtual elements exist in the same place, the application sees the virtual element.

    • Changes to virtual items go to the sandbox.

    • Amendments to the elements of the system go to the sandbox.

    • New items are created in the sandbox.

    Full

    • Elements of the system at this location are not visible to the application.

    • Changes to virtual items go to the sandbox.

    • Elements of the system cannot be read or modified.

    • New items are created in the sandbox.

    • To change the mode of insulation for a specific folder, edit the file #Attibutes.ini in your package to set the mode for this folder, otherwise that the package.ini parameter is used by default for all objects in the package. Edit the HKEY_XXXXXX.txt file to change the isolation mode for a branch of the registry. More details on these files are available in the VMware ThinApp user manual, version 4.0.1.

    Note: ThinApp implements cache modes of isolation during execution to the location of the sandbox. If the isolation mode is changed for your project and the executable file is rebuilt, it may be necessary to remove the tray to sand so that the changes take effect.

    DirectoryIsolationMode - defines the isolation mode: merger, WriteCopy or full.

    ThinApp implements cache modes of insulation for the registry and the file system when running in the sandbox sand. If you modify the isolation for the project mode and regenerate the executable file, you may need to remove the tray to sand to make the change take effect.

    Changing the settings in the file #Attributes.ini

    The file #Attributes.ini applies the settings at the directory level while the Package.ini file applies the settings at the level of the overall application.

    For example, you can set the isolation mode in the directory, or the application level to determine what files and registry keys are visible and written by the virtual application that you create. The granular setting in the file #Attributes.ini overrides the global setting of Package.ini. The Package.ini determines the isolation mode when ThinApp does not information #Attributes.ini.

    If you need to compress some files only with large files, rather than a complete application, you can compress the files to the folder with the CompressionType parameter level in the file #Attributes.ini.

    The file #Attributes.ini appears in most of the captured application folders. For example, the Attributes.ini file may be located in C:\Program VMware ThinApp\Captures\Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.3\%AppData%\##Attributes.ini. Use Notepad or another text editor to update the file.

    Edit the file #Attributes.ini

    Use Notepad or another text editor to update the file #Attributes.ini.

    To change the file #Attributes.ini

    1. in the #Attibutes.ini #, uncomment, update or delete the parameter.

    2. double-click on the file build.bat in the application folder captured to rebuild the application package.

  • Why tabs, windows and sometimes ignore the shortcut keyboard (CMD + W)? I keep having to go into file > close tab

    Tabs in Firefox seem to ignore my orders sometimes seemingly random. Perhaps even more so when the tab contains a video, although I could be wrong.

    I use a 13-inch, mid 2009 Macbook Pro installed OSX 10.10.2 (the latest build), but this also happens on 17 inches from my father-in-law, Early - 2008 Macbook Pro as well.

    If a plugin like Flash has focus, then the plugin gets all keys and you have to click outside the plugin to remove the development of the plugin and make the keyboard work again.
    I don't think that protected by Flash mode applies to Mac.

    On a Mac, you may also be unable to move to HTML5 media as an alternative player, because with this drive will work the keyboard shortcuts.

  • Spider sometimes works ok, sometimes in the rendering mode.__sleep and hibernation software are not available when the software rendering mode is running

    I have an ASUS K501N laptop.running 7 Home premium.

    Sometimes when I turn on it the office/display is not so strong, if I click on Spider I get a flag your who says run the game in software rendering mode hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by your video card driver happens whensleep and Hibernate options are not available.

    Other times that everything works correctly.

    Anyone know why and how to remedy

    Hi leflaneur,

    1 when was the last time it was working fine?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3. when there is no sleep and hibernate options available?

    4. are you able to play other games on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you enable the acceleration of the display on the computer and check if the game works.

    (a) open settings display by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, and then clicking display settings.

    (b) click on display settings, and then click Advanced settings.

    (c) click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click change settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (d) move Hardware Acceleration complete.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then you will need to download and install the drivers for the graphics cards updates by visiting the card manufacturer's Web site and check if it helps.

  • Isolation mode... where he attended the CS6?

    Just updated from CS3 to CS6 and I can't find the isolation mode button in the control bar.

    I don't want to activate double click for it.

    Can anyone help please?

    Yes, CS3 used to display the button "Isolate selected group" when a text object is present in a group. CS6 doesn't.

    Easy workarounds exist - a) just double click on the group to isolate b) right click and select 'Isolate selected group' c) in the layers panel, highlight the name of the Group and in the menu drop-down Panel, select "enter in the Mode of insulation.

  • Isolation mode no longer works as expected in the CS6

    Previously, when you change a group in isolation mode, you can double-click on a group and then the items in this group become editable. Now in CS6 keep a group group in isolation mode, so that to edit individual objects, the group needs to be separated manually in isolation mode, then you must remember to bring together them again before going back to isolation. This is a new very non useful. CS6, Windows 7 x 64.

    The problem is caused by the new plugin 'CS6-ready"Arlandia Symmetryworks.

    More support information Artlandia:

    SymmetryWorks 5 has a mode called "insertion", which is very similar to the isolation mode in Illustrator. And the plug-in installs essentially an optimization that allows its insertion mode to work better, at the expense of the isolation mode (which is not supposed to work inside the plugin objects anyway). In hindsight, it wasn't the best decision, but it can be disabled, but in a somewhat delicate way. Here's what you can do:

    -Quit Illustrator

    -Open the Illustrator preferences with a text editor

    -Locate the following line:

    / ResetInsertionPoint 1

    (you can just search for "ResetInsertionPoint")

    -On this line, change '1' '0' (zero), save and close

    the file

    -Restart Illustrator

  • a group with an appearance of different color of its elements (in isolation mode)

    Sometimes I have this problem that when I change the color of a group (for example, from green to red) it's elements stay in the old color.

    I see this when I double-click on the (now replaced by red) group. In the isolation mode items appear again in the original (green) color.
    When I return to the grouped view the color changes once again (in the Red).

    Strange.

    Is this a bug or a feature?

    If it's a feature, I think that it is a source of confusion.

    ffills can be applied at different levels (object, group, layer). You have applied the red fill to the level of the group.

  • Work around the EXEC Mode when connect in SSH for ASA 8.4 (2)

    Hi all

    I would check with you all, is there anyone able to access the 8.4 (2) Cisco ASA CLI without needs to enter the enable password?

    Currently, it is configured with GANYMEDE for CLI and ASDM access.

    ASDM, we have not had any problems and be able to access and to change directly in own entry GANYMEDE credential.

    However for the CLI, we need to type 'enable' and also the enable password before login.

    Is there anyway that we could ignore the EXEC mode and access to the PRIVILEDGE mode directly?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Current config:

    AAA-server xxxx Protocol Ganymede +.

    AAA-server xxxx (management) host xxxx

    Kind regards

    Danny

    Unfortunately, ASA does not support the feature AAA Exec permission yet, so he can't be configured with GANYMEDE or RADIUS to directly access the privileged exec mode. We go through with authentication enable

    Like this:

    ===================

    ASA:username: *.

    ASA:password: *.

    ASA: > activate

    Password: *.

    ===================

    This is because the ASA does not include the cisco-avpair = "" shell: priv-lvl = 15 "attribute."

    The ASA does not support the Exec AAA authorization still features, so it cannot be configured with RADIUS or GANYMEDE.

    The workaround for this problem is to manually the user to activate the mode mode switch.

    It is compatible with IOS (routers/switches).

  • Why when I create an action to resize the eps files action ignores the resizing?

    Hey everybody...

    I'm trying to resize eps batch files.  I create an action to resize the files.  The batch jumps on the action of resizing.  I find myself with the same files only difference is that they are saved in a different folder.

    Thanks in advance!

    If all the data in the file is a vector eps, there is nothing to resize. It is mathematical values everything and so will always be of the same size.

    However, you may compress the file with a zip compressor or similar.

    If I understood, please give more details.

  • the iPhone camera App is not memorize the recording mode

    Hello

    I use the default photo from Apple on my iPhone App, especially because I can shoot while the iPhone is locked. No other applications can do that, not even using the Notification Center (other applications for registration as Strava can do it, but not to record video).

    However, I noticed that most of the time (but), mode (video, panorama, photo,...) is not like it was before.

    I turn almost only videos (idling, when outdoors). Whenever I start the camera application, either in the "sweep upward" screen (locked phone), or from the home screen in unlocking the phone, the camera always (or almost) default is still Photo. I have not found a way to default to the video.

    When you have to take action, it is very annoying to have to fumble with the buttons until you can actually draw. Not to mention that the app is so slow that initialize in the meantime, you cannot drag on the video mode (until the camera is completely initialized); then you drag too and the video mode Miss... it's a mess...

    However, sometimes, apparently when you start the camera after making a video, the unit starts in video mode... but you expect it to start in photo mode, you can already drag by anticipation and video mode Miss yet :-)

    The behavior is not very consistent.

    Unless there is something that the camera behave correctly, I think apple should seriously improve at least 3 things in the camera application:

    (1) in previous versions of iOS, the initialization of the camera was not otherwise slow. How about you do it as fast as it was before?

    (2) pass from still photo to video, then to move slow takes too long. The control must be more effective and faster. You should have a faster and more direct access to the different modes of recoding. How about a configurable "by scanning screen?

    (3) the camera app to set the frequency of default images for videos. What about settings for the default recording mode? (video, panoramic)

    Hi there redtomato,

    I understand that the camera on your iPhone app will automatically in video mode you want. If I always had to take videos, I think it would be very convenient to open the camera in video mode application every time I opened it.

    I tried what you said on my end, opening the camera my screen lock and video mode change application then blocking of my iPhone, and then repeat the same steps. Surprisingly, when I conducted my test of the camera to video mode application.

    I'm quite uncertain that if if it is a small problem with iOS, or if it was something that apple designed specifically, or maybe I'm just having chance repeating the steps you mentioned. To help troubleshoot your device, I recommend you to make sure that you use the latest version of iOS if your device is up to date. Once you have done this, try to restart your iOS device and see if you're still having problems.

    On reflection, maybe you can force the camera app to quit smoking? If this is the case, this could explain why you may need to manually change the camera in video mode application each time.

    I think your suggestions are great ideas, and if you want too, you can submit your ideas to Apple directly here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/.

    I love my iPhone and I like the camera on it and especially photography, so I can understand how you feel about the inconvenience, but I really hope the information I've provided help it it, otherwise, if all goes well it will be or is somehow.

    Continue to take great videos!

  • Isolation mode (open Group) keyboard shortcut for experienced users?

    One of my actions frequently used in Illustrator is to enter the isolation for a group (usually done by double clicking) mode.

    However, when you are a power user, this becomes tedious if you use too many other keyboard shortcuts.

    Especially if complex objects are nested together for the multiple layers.

    As far as I know, there is no shortcut key to move in isolation mode, although personally, I think that "Enter" would make a lot of sense.

    Could someone please tell me if there is and if not, if it is possible to create an action that actually not a 'double click' on a group.

    Thanks in advance

    You can make a custom shortcut.

  • Anyway to temporarily ignore the smart guides using the tool pen?

    I have a love relationship with the guides and hatred. When I want to that they're bad; When I'm not good they are.

    While trying to do things with the pen tool, I am often confronted with smart guides snapping my tool around without the broken my volition. I'm not really good with the pen tool yet, so it is making a more difficult climb when they interfere.

    Now, I know I can disable smart guides by doing Ctrl-U, but it has side effect of my pen from the current curve I'm free. When I click on the end of this curve to start where I left off, it changes the anchor in a corner instead of curve and mess up what I was going to. Would not a problem except that I sometimes envy the guides while I'm still on the same curve so I don't want to not completely turn them off as I work and I have to then reactivate to correct a task, know what I mean?

    Yes, is there a key that I can hold to temporarily turn turn off smart guides or ignore them somehow? I met quite a few keys that try so I think not. This probably indicates that I just need to improve my skills to learn to work with it better.

    At least until 13 Illustrator, it's a trick or rather an ugly hack that is to align it on the gate drive and talent to temporarily disable all the features of smart guides. The following must be prepared in case you run the hack as an action:

    1. in the actions Palette, create a new action game. Call it "turn off Smart Guides.

    2 in all scripts, create a new action. Call the 'Disable Smart Guides', assign an F key to action, say F3 and press ENTER.

    3. in the actions Palette menu, and then select the command insert a Menu item and go to view > snap to grid

    4 stop action recording

    5. go in Edition > Preferences > Guides & grid

    6. in the grid of each text box, enter 0.01 mm. This is the minimum value that you can set here.

    7. in the text box of Subdivisions, enter 1000, maximum value accepted here.

    Now, take any document, turn on smart guides, make sure that snap to grid is turned off, and start drawing a path. Press F3 and continue the way of drawing. Press F3 again as soon as you still need your guides.

    As you can see, after hit F3 to snap to grid, the path will not be interrupted when you place the next point. And you have a sort of microscopic parameters of the grid, snap to grid has almost no influence on which points are placed. Actually, he clings still, but because of absurd grid settings, it is rather negligible.

    Of obvious workaround was originally invented by a young lady, located near Edmonton in the Canada.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
