How can I find all locked layers (visible or not) and then unlock all at once?

OK, for anyone who cares here is the scenario.

I was on a tight schedule. I got a massive records in layers, - nested all - .psd

I use Photoshop CS 5.5

I need only the visible layers.  So, I'm going to 'Delete hidden layers' right? Oops it is grey, I couldn't use it - Ahhh, that was because of the locked layers...

No problem. Ugh wait.

Then I realized - in the structure of the complicated layer that I had to go through every single folder, open it, look for a locked layer and unlock it (folders nested inside the files nested etc..). If the layer was not visible and it was locked, I had to start by putting visible, then unlock it and turn it off, then turn it back on.

Aaaarrggghhh I was on a deadline and I didn't just have the time - but I had to do it anyway.

It was a painful experience... I tell you right now, designers on SEND me A PSD WITH LOCKED LAYERS MORE EVER

It would have been so much easier if I could just get 'locked in layers' and "unlock everything."

Does anyone know of a solution? Probably something I should have known years, or perhaps a feature request?

Thank you!!!

This feature is now available in Photoshop CS6. Layers Panel has a filter option to layer that simplifies the workflow and do designers dream come true! Please see the screenshots below:

  • I perform a search, results, find the message I was looking for. How can I find this message in my folder structure and subfolder (relatively) complex?

    Hello
    I use structured system subfolder to keep my organized emails (hundreds and hundreds of folders).
    When I do a search, get the list of results and in this list, I found the email I was after, HOW can I find the message? In other words, how can I open the folder that contains this particular email?
    Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

    Right click on a folder, search for Messages, and then click 'Search subfolders', then enter the selection criteria, search, search for a result in the lower pane, then 'open folder '. The message is opened in the Message pane and the containing folder is highlighted in the folders pane.

    It isn't a global search and location does not show the full folder path, but it is another option. Note that the location column can also be displayed in the message search window.

  • How can I find 'All programs' on Windows 8?

    Hi there, I just bought a laptop Windows 8 and am struggling with the difference between W7 and W8.  When I right click at the start menu displays "Programs and features", but when I click I get only the uninstall a program option.  I can't open Canon Utilities (for my printer) because the control panel is not on my desk because it is on my W7 laptop, and I can't find the function of all programs.  Canon is in my Apps screen but when I click on it, even though my printer is registered, it has no option to do anything.  I would appreciate any advice - thank you.

    I think you're mixing all programs on the start menu with programs in Control Panel.

    In fact, both Windows 7 and 8 have the same list of "Programs and features" (the Uninstall list), it's just that Windows 8 is the first to give you a direct shortcut to get there.

    Let me put it this way: Windows 8 always has the same organization "Start Menu", it's just bigger (full screen) now.  Windows 7 would show your frequent programs first, and then the Catalog under the arrow to "all programs."  Well actually, Windows 8 does the same thing: just great icons.

    When you access all programs (7, left) or applications (8, right), you will get a list of all your installed programs. Windows 7 puts in a small list, Windows 8 displays the list full-screen.

    Tip: in all versions of Windows, you can press on +R to open the run, run the command shell: program to explore your Start menu like a normal folder.

  • New user Question: How can I find ALL my setting for my layout once I'm working on it?

    I would like to get the screenshots of my settings for each project I do so that I have them for reference.

    Thank you!!!

    OK, I think you're basically on the right track, but I think that the conversion of files to the models might be more useful than printed material. Master pages contain templates (i.e. when the margins and columns are usually changed from the defaults set during the preparation of the original Document (or they may not be modified from these defaults to all), all styles defined for the project and all the shades of color that have been defined, so you don't need to reinvent the wheel) just choose from the available options. They can also have elements of the page (headers and footers, page numbers, images placeholder for the standard page layouts, etc) pre-defined or in place.

    You can do any file in a model while recording a (file > save as... and choose the model from the drop-down list file type), or by changing the file extension to .indt. The only functional difference between a document file and template file is that when open 'normally' documents open the original, you change the document real and models open as an untitled copy, if you edit the copy and accidentally do not change the model. You can remove essentially all of the content (other than objects on a master page) of any file and save as a template and have everything you need to make a new file with the same settings.

    There are scripts available to tell you which styles are defined in a document (you can google for script InDesign Style Reporter, I think), and there may be others who will give you the other parameters. There may be something like this in the Blatner tools plugin, too. If you want a complete script, you will maybe pay someone for writing customized for you, but it would be worth a trip to the forum script (Scripting InDesign) to see what is already written that might help if you want reports.

  • How can I find all my music files and download them on different devices?

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas: I get windows media player and don't see a few songs.  I want to see the entire library.

    Hi Flip38III,

    What devices you use to synchronize the music files?

    If you have saved music files in a folder, you can search the file by the name of the folder.

    Find a file or folder

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/find-a-file-or-folder

    Then proceed as follows:

    1. open the folder on the computer that contains the music files you want to transfer.

    2. then connect the external device to the computer.

    3. scroll through the songs you want to transfer to the device. Right click on the title. When the options are displayed, click on "send to." Scroll the options "send to" and select device.

    If you can't see the music files in the Windows Media Player library you can erase the database of Windows Media Player and Windows Media Player cache of database files by following this link:

    You cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

    Then try to synchronize the music files on the external device.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.
