Is there a way to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a spreadsheet using iWork's numbers 3.2?

Is there a way to automatically insert the filename of a spreadsheet into the footer when using iworks numbers 3.2?  iworks 09 had this feature and I can't find this feature in the new version of numbers.

Hi rhyolite,
In Numbers 3.x, The Print View and Layout View have gone (for now at least). Page Headers and Footers can only be reached under Menu > File > Print... to open Print Preview. Hover the cursor to reveal the Page Header and Footer fields.
The only inserts that I can get to work in Print Preview are Page Number, Page Count and Date & Time. Filename is no longer in the Insert menu.
Regards,
Ian.

    I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
    Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

  • Is there a way to automatically save my keywords to the metadata?

    I'm coming from Lightroom, and it does it all automatically.

    What do you mean with "save keywords to metadata"?
    In Aperture  - most of the time - saving any edits is not necessary. Conceptually Aperture is more like a database or an asset management system than like a document editor. Any changes to metadata tags like keywords are stored immediately. While working with Aperture you are changing images (items in Aperture), not image files. You change a keyword or any other part of the metadata and that change applies to the version of the image you are editing.
    When you export an image all your edits are computed to create an image file and you can choose to have the IPICT-Metadata added to the exported image file.
    For changes to the IPICT tags (and keywords are part of the IPICT content) you can decide to write them directly to the master image file, either with import presets, when batch changing mutiple images, or with the menu entry
          Metadata -> Write IPICT Metadata to Master
    But usually you are not supposed to access the master files using the Finder, it is safer to export them from Aperture, if you need them outside Aperture, and then you can add the IPICT tags on export by setting the flag.

  • Is there a way to automatically clean unused images from the DAM?

    I'm trying to find a way to clean up the /content/dam folder from unused images and other assets.
    Is there an automated tool for this? Search and remove type of SQL or XPath query?
    How would I go about doing this?
    (Manual removal is not an option. We have hundreds of images)
    Thanks a lot in advance guys,
    David

    You are welcome. You can also find some script here [1] that does delete operation on DAM. You have to extend this script to check for references. Best way to do that would be to write a servlet that will return number of references based on DAM path and if result is zero then delete that node.
    Or use CQ OOTB servlet (Use Curl command to check response)
    http://localhost:4502/bin/wcm/references.json?path=<YOUR DAM ASSET PATH>
    if this return empty then there is no reference.

    You can do that with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, which comes with Acrobat Pro for Windows. For more information, you can ask over at the LiveCycle Designer forum.

  • Is there a way to Automate or Script the Mail Merge Feature in iWorks?

    Hello,
    I've been trying to build a production management system slowly over the last few months, my boss is a bit of a technophobe so I've been trying as hard as i can to keep everything in familiar programs, at its core all the system has to do its take information in from Purchase Orders, this is added to a Numbers File, within that numbers file are our Open Order Book showing All orders and 2 "Merge Sheets" all new Orders are Added to the Merge Sheets then onto the Open Order Sheet, those "merge sheets" are then used as a data source for a Pages file "Job Card" (we have 2 job card files once blue one yellow but the process is the same)
    Up until now I've been manually merging each time we get a new order, but this happens a lot so what I've been trying to do is Automate the procedure.
    Ive created 2 Automator Apps  each runs the same sequence just for the two different Job cards as follows:
    Get finder Item "Job_Card_Blue/Yellow" > Open Finder Item > a "watch me do" of mail merge > Print > Close Application without saving
    The Problem is the Watch me do is a bit of a clunky work around, if I could make it work without the mouse moving over the screen it wouldn't be so bad, even if I could somehow give Mail Merge a Keyboard Short Cut it would also be better.
    So my questions, after a large ammount of waffling:
    1) is there a way i can "see" and then edit the "watch me do" Script?
    2) is there a simpler work around im not seeing?
    3) is there an existing script of program I can use? (obviously i know there is Filemaker etc, if it was up to me I'd use a Database, but the owner of company is adimant i use office or easy programs, becuase it needs to be a system i can leave to him once my contract is up)
    Any Help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Yes I've created an Automator Application that does the job, but the "watch me do" function that does the Mail Merge is a rather Clunkey work around, as the mouse moves all over the place, thats the part i want to remove and replace with a script, or work out a different way around it that avoids the "watch me do" function.
    Is this Possible? or where/who is there i can ask to write me a script, im not a novice to scripting, but i am a novice to Applescript.

  • Is there a way to automate the CFX tags installation?

    Hello,
    I'm currently in the process of re-installing a web farm of ColdFusion 8 servers (W2K8, IIS 7.5).
    I have to install a number of CFX tags (C++) on each server to get the code running.
    Is there a way to automate the installation of the CFX tags (regedit imports, VBS, PowerShell...)?
    I found some link indicating that keys should be imported in the registry at: HKLM\Software\Allaire, but Allaire does not even exist in this branch (I believe that the instructions were true of older versions of CF).
    I installed one of the tags manually and noticed that the file neo-runtime.xml was updated with:

    Can I simply add the XML node to get it running?
    Thanks in advance for any lead to the solution.

    This is great! but I'm not there yet. I figured how to assign little midi triggered melodies to a touch track. I used to do stuff like this on an old Buchla years ago. How do I get the automation on the midi track to control the filter on an audio track? I created regions with the automation I want on a midi track, then I assigned those regions to keys with touch tracks. How do I get that to control the filter on the audio track?

  • Is there a way to automatically sort/filter the itunes music list by files that  cannot be located?

    I have quite a lot of files that can't be located, and want to delete them all at once rather than clicking on everyfile to choose delete. Does anybody know of a way to sort the itunes listing so that I can group them all together to delete, or a way to automatically purge them all from the itunes file?

    But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
    out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
    timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
    project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
    I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
    never finding it again.)
    I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
    something) of every single file.
    There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
    and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
    Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
    If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
    From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
    Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
    Peace

  • Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

    Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
    I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
    Thanks

    One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

  • Is there a way to automatically set the file name in Acrobat Properties when exporting a PDF from Indesign?

    When I used Quark to make a PDF, the title area in the PDF was automatically populated with the file name, there in the properties tab. We like use this area to confirm file names of original files, so we can keep track of drafts, (in case the file name of the PDF is changed, which our boss often does). Is there any way to set up InDesign to do the same?

    @stadlock – I think I know what you mean…
    You exported to PDF and changed the file name in the export dialog to a different one from the document name presented there the first time you exported that document. And in exports after that the new name will be presented in the dialog instead of the name of the document.
    What you can do against that?
    1. First time you want to export: Save before the document is exported. And do not save after it's exported with a new file name.
    2. After the new file name is already there in the export dialog:
    Type in the document name in the dialog. Export. Or abort after chosing a export preference. Save. Check again, if the document's file name is in the export dialog. If yes, procede like in suggestion #1. If not do a full export with the document's file name, save and then procede with suggestion #1.

  • Is there a way to automatically shrink images in an epub file to fit the visible screen?

    Is there a way to automatically shrink images in an epub file to automatically shrink to fit the screen in Adobe Digital Editions?  This happens automatically with the Kindle and I assume with the iPad and Nook as well.  However, the large images in the epub do not automatically shrink to fit the Adobe Digital Editions viewer. Is this an issue with the software or the epub file?

  • Is there any way of storing audio- / video-elements in the browser cache in Safari in iOS?

    Hi there,
    I'm desperatly trying to find a solution for a web application that has to run on an iOS-Safari (e.g. on iPad, iPad2 and iPhone 4):
    It's a web-application I wrote some time ago which lets the user search for and listen to short music samples (MP3s, all from ~100 kB to ~1.5 MB). The audio player is Flash-based, so it doesn't work on iOS-devices at the moment and I'll have to implement an alternative either in HTML 5 or with a "direct" QuickTime-object.
    Both my HTML 5- and QuickTime-alternatives for iOS-devices work fine so far, but there's one major problem I can't find a solution to:
    Unlike Flash and most HTML 5-capable browsers on Windows Safari on my iPad 2 won't store the audiofiles in the browsercache after loading and playing them - neither with HTML 5 audio-tags nor with a QuickTime-Object. Every time I load an audio file for playback from the server (with JavaScript-Commands, so without changing or reloading the whole page) it's downloaded again completely.
    If a user listens to sample A and then to sample B, Safari forgot about having played sample A and downloads the whole MP3 again if I like to listen to it again. On a mobile device with a potentially narrow bandwith this behaviour is out of the question.
    Is there a way of storing downloaded audiofiles opened by HTML 5 or QuickTime in Safari's cache so it remembers already having downloaded them  -  like it caches usual "web-files" like HTML, CSS or JPEG-images, or like Flash stores such objects in its local cache?
    The Application Cache with a manifest-file is not an option - this only seems to work if the browser is offline, for example if the iOS-device is in "Airplane"-Mode.

    Yes, I watched it. It contains interesting stuff I have to admit I didn't know yet, but unfortunately I still can't find a solution to my problem:
    My first attempt was trying to use the Application Cache with a manifest file - although this is not really the intended purpose for my application... I don't have a static set of files that I want to have cached or "available offline"  -  I just want to cache MP3s which the user has played yet.
    It should be possible to use a "dynamic manifest": One that is parsed by the Apache PHP module and listing the files played so far from a PHP session - something like this:
    <?php
    session_start();
    header("Content-Type: text/cache-manifest, charset=UTF-8");
    echo "CACHE MANIFEST\n";
    foreach($_SESSION['playedSongs'] as $song)
        echo $song."\n";
    ?>
    So whenever a song is loaded / played, I could access the PHP session with AJAX, insert the filename of the played file and manually update the manifest by calling window.applicationCache.update().
    There are two problems with this:
    First of all: It doesn't work. And I didn't even get to the point of trying to use a dynamic manifest:
    <!DOCTYPE html>   
    <html manifest="cache.manifest">
        <head>
            <title>Test</title>
            <script type="text/javascript">
            function playStuff(id)
                if(id == 1)
                    window.document.getElementById("audio").innerHTML = '<audio controls preload="automatic" autobuffer><source src="song01.mp3" type="audio/mp3" /></audio>';
                else if(id == 2)
                    window.document.getElementById("audio").innerHTML = '<audio controls preload="automatic" autobuffer><source src="song02.mp3" type="audio/mp3" /></audio>';
            </script>
        </head>
        <body>
            <div id="audio"></div><br />
            <br />
            <input type="button" value="playStuff(1)" onclick="playStuff(1)" />
            <input type="button" value="playStuff(2)" onclick="playStuff(2)" />
        </body>
    </html>
    The cache.manifest looks like this:
    CACHE MANIFEST
    song01.mp3
    song02.mp3
    and is properly returned from Apache as "text/cache-manifest" by adding
    AddType text/cache-manifest manifest
    to the .htaccess of this directory.
    The Apache-logs clearly show that the Safari (respectively "AppleCoreMedia") doesn't care about the application cache when it comes to audio-files:
    Safari itself seems to acknowledge the manifest and indeed preload the files:

    Every file is downloaded again completely when playing it. So "AppleCoreMedia" (whatever this may be exactly, the QuickTime-plugin that is triggered by the HTML 5 audio-element I suppose?) either doesn't have access to the Application Cache or simply just doesn't realize the files in it. So if I switch my iPad to "Airplane Mode" now, the Safari is unable to access / load / play the files.
    I also tried using a QuickTime-object instead of an HTML 5 audio-tag (as far as I know HTML 5 audio and video in Safari always use QuickTime?) and controlling it with something like:
    document.movie1.SetURL('song02.mp3');
    Nothing changes, it's just like using HTML 5 audio and everything gets downloaded again when loading/playing it.
    And even if this would work there'd still be a problem:
    To properly implement that I would have to load the MP3-file in the Application Cache before playing it. When doing this it seems impossible to show a "real" progress: The ProgressEvent that is fired from the Application Cache after updating it doesn't seem to provide any information about data loaded so far and the complete size of a file. It's just "File 1 from 2" and so on, and not a "real" progress where I could determine something like: "100 kB of 1.2 MB loaded" as I can with the audio-element.
    All the other storage-approaches like Web SQL / Web Database or Local Storage are no help either:
    I don't see any way of getting the MP3 data into Local Storage or Web Database or getting it out again to play it. The HTML 5 Canvas-element has a toDataURL()-function to produce a Base64-encoded representation and use it for storage  -  the Audio-element doesn't seem to have anything like this.
    My last really "dirty" approach was trying to load "manually" Base64-encoded-MP3s with a combination of AJAX and PHP: A PHP-script outputs a Base64-representation of a MP3-file and is loaded by AJAX, so I could store the Base64-representation e.g. as Local Storage or in Web Database:
    <?php
    $infile = 'song01.mp3';
    $contents = file_get_contents($infile);
    $base64 = base64_encode($contents);
    $audio = 'data:audio/mp3;base64,'.$base64.'';
    echo $audio;
    ?>
    I tried using the resulting AJAX responseText as the source-argument in an audio-source-tag. Suprise: It doesn't work in Safari on my iPad 2, the player just fails to load the "file", although this works fine in Chrome on Windows. Possibly a size limitation for Base64-URIs on Safari / iOS.
    And again: Even if this was working in iOS/Safari I don't know of a way to determine a real progress from an AJAX-query...
    The last thing I could think of is not replacing the audio- or source-tags when loading a song but leaving them in the DOM-structure, check if it's already there when a song is loaded and just add a new audio-tag if a song hasn't been loaded yet.
    This solution would be my last resort: I'd have to rewrite nearly the whole application to completely operate on JavaScript / AJAX to stay on one site in the browser - else the "cached" audio data would be lost again when changing to another site in Safari.
    Furthermore I think there'll be a small cache limit somewhere when doing this?
    Any ideas?

  • Is there a way to automate genre assigning

    Typically when I insert a CD for import I have to select all the tracks and then assign a genre. Usually the track info iTunes grabs from CDDB are good, but the genre is off. Doing this for hundreds of CDs is a bit of a pain... I know Control-A will select all the tracks, but then from there I don't know a shortcut to Get Info and change genre. Ideally I could automate all of this and not even have to go through shortcuts. It would be great to stick a CD in and then run a 'macro' that grabs all the tracks and changes them to a given genre like Alternative.
    Any ideas on what my best options are? If not a macro... what about shortcut keyins at least?
    Thanks.
    -Mark
    ps - i know media monkey allows for this sort of macro... why not itunes?

    OK, working on my own answer here....
    Control-A (selects all)
    Control-I (get info dialog)
    Alt-G (genre field)
    Then type enough letters in the genre's spelling to get it to select.
    Easy enough. But is there a way to automate it to a click?

  • Is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"?

    is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"? that would make it easy to mobile sync the last import to my ipad, and do further picking/rejecting while away from my laptop.

    well, yes, of course i could do it that way. i guess i wasn't specific enough. is there a way to create a smart collection, with the photos in the "previous import" as members of the smart collection.  earlier i mentioned about using this smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, to do further flagging.
    so my intention, use a smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, and the smart collection to include the photos from my previous import.
    i guess another way to ask the question, is there a way to create a smart collection, by using some rule or condition in the smart collection, to automatically include previous import photos.
    the documentation says that "previous import" is a collection, even though it shows up in the catalogue side bar section. but i see no way to choose that collection when making a smart collection.
