Rhetorical questions for deeper thoughts...

While we cannot guess Adobe's motivations in the increased publicity, why are we taking this threat seriously when it is no different than previous security issues with Acrobat/Reader? What has changed? Is it really news that Mac can be exploited?

This forum is filled with posts about how many of us do not care about security because we perceive safety on Mac. So why should we care about this threat when it is no different than all the others in the past?

It seems apparent that the myth about secure platforms is fading, even in this forum. Both OSX and Linux, two of the more 'secure' platforms, are clearly vulnerable.

Jim,

Due to the way and extent the information has been disseminated so far, I'm taking it seriously. But that's me.

If you or anyone else doesn't feel it is important, feel free to ignore it.

"I've disabled Java in Acrobat and Reader."

Where do you do that in Reader?

I see prefs for javascript, but nothing for Java.

Phos,

I believe that's a typo. It's supposed to be JavaScript.

Part of the reason I responded the way I did was to shine a light on the fact that javascript and Java are two different things.

Forcing the issue by the way I worded my reply #22, I'm merely hoping it will prod folks to inventory their own level of understanding, and to explore why I might have made what might seem a pedantic differentiation.

And then to come to realize that it wasn't pedantic at all, but an important distinction.

Phos,

That's where I assumed you were going. There is a distinct difference between the two.

Just upgraded to CS4 last week. I'm a little surprised that it's still saving out jaggy 32x32 icons (which died with Mac OS 9). Is there any way I can get it to save Mac OS X 128x128 icons?

Try using Bridge instead of the Finder — then icons don't matter.

If you insist on using the Finder:
In icon view in the Finder: View Menu/View Options/ Adjust slider to 128 x 128.

Neil - thanks for the input. I was assuming I could repartition and create a dedicated scratch partition as I have done with all my PC's. The idea of an external scratch might be a solution of the partitioning can't be done. As I may have indicated - I've worked with PC's for 30 years (can you believe it!!) and this will be a first foray into the apple orchard.

Yes I need portability right now as I will be moving between two locations (home studio and remote). That's why I'd like to hear from someone using the MacBook Pro to get their experience re speed and performance.

Paul - yes indeed. I had also looked at the 24 inch Cinema display until I saw the glossy glass. I think I'll go with an NEC or Lacie instead as a second monitor.

Thanks again.

Andrew,

was assuming I could repartition and create a dedicated scratch partition
as I have done with all my PC's.

But then you have one set of heads multitasking between the OS and the app. And that slows you down. A fast external drive would be better.

norman,

I take it this is a recent purchase, and it was cheap. Be aware that with old technology, you will be limited in both the apps that will still run on it and with the degree of support you'll be able to get from any source.

But as Ramón suggests, you may have been given a bum deal on the software...

Version number of iPhoto in iLife ´09 is iPhoto 8.

Ann,
You are wrong. iPhoto is not diabolic. It also does not nowadays spread folders all over the place (it encloses them into the iPhoto Library-package to save the users from seeing all the folders and make a mess I guess). I guess you are talking about an old version where the folders were still visible without opening the library-package. Nobody really need to dig around inside those folders.

Buko,
iPhoto is not slow. Not even on my slowest machine, the old iMac with a meager 1,5 GB Ram. It is far from slow.

Ramón,

There's also a separate plug-in to disable image rotation

I saw that link in another topic, and it is now conveniently placed on the main Photoshop/Mac page under "Quick clicks".

Hey Joakim, I'm not able to replicate this at all, either. As PShock initially asked, would you explain purpose of this keyboard/mouse combination? If it's something that's frequently used, it might warrant the "Really big stupid bug in CS4!" designation.

Ramon and DYP, how is it that you guys ended up with different behaviors? My test didn't activate any menu or dialog boxes.

All that happens is that the Layer Style dialog box comes up, nice and
smoothly.

Just a dialog box that says "Could not use the move tool because no layers
are selected".

You have a plugin: SH2Selective.8li
That plugin is interfering with event processing and causing the crash.

Remove or disable that plugin, and contact the maker of that plugin so they can fix the bug.

Hello,

I have never seen this before. I have made so many actions and created droplets from them, but this is a first.

I created a simple action that opens a pdf file at 72 DPI, makes the image size 1 inch wide and saves it as a jpeg to a predetermined folder, then I close the original without saving.

When I create the droplet, and drag a bunch of PDF files onto it, it keeps only the first PDF file I started to process and names it the original name of the one I used to create the initial action.

Any help is greatly appreciated...

thanks
barbara

In which case that one project has probably been corrupted by disk errors.
