Is there any way to find out what brush is applied to a path?

I'm trying to write a script: select some paths, run the script, then each path that has a brush applied to it is changed to use a random brush whose name is sufficiently similar to its current brush. The application is pretty obvious - draw a bunch of lines in, say, 'ragged marker 1', then give it some extra liveliness by having five or six 'ragged marker' brushes that get randomly chosen.
The problem I'm running against is that as far as I can tell, Illustrator only lets Javascript set what brush an object is using with brush.applyTo (artItem), but I can't seem to find any way to find out what path a brush is currently using via JS.
Am I just not looking in the right place of the Javascript reference, or is this really a thing that only has a setter, with no corresponding getter?

Just like you said earlier

  • Is there any way to find out what a specific line of data usage was for?

    There is a line on my bill for 97 MB of usage while I was bowling?  I was not using my phone.  How can I find out what it was doing for that specific charge?

  • Is there any way to find out what the Ext Id is that is assigned to CRM records

    Whilst there is a lot of confusion as to when and where you use this field and what is the unique record key for some, I have understood that however what I am wanting to find is excatly what is the external ID that was assigned to the CRM record when it was first imported. I can't find any report or other means for getting this info and without it I can't re-import record updates.
    A method for resolving the issues with CRM updates would simply be if the CRM module provided the following
    An export facility as in the Web Apps and Products to simply export the full record with all fields in the same order as required for import
    The ability to attach to that export a slected extended CRM layout
    That he export record also included as the first field the BC CRM ID (this is the one thing we know to be unique no matter what)
    With the above and changes to the import to reference the CRM ID (for existing records) we would indeed be able to apply email address updates to existing records via batch import.
    This seems to be a rather obviuous and simple solution unless I am overlooking something. At present the CRM export / import functions are a serious weakness for large database updates and not having the ability to also import bulk deletes is a major drawback on our ability to maintain and manage the CRM integrity. As it stands, if you have been hit by spammers and have hundreds or thousands of delinquent entries in yoru CRM then you have no choice but to leave them in place and if you used a form that by default subscribes them to your mail list - I gave up on that.
    My last comment relates to the data pass that is done as part of the import - is it not possible to report on all records that will fail to be imported instead of one at a time?  If you want to reduce the load on teh system having a single pass to list all errors and list this so you can read it before the error message fades before your eyes would not be an unreasoonable request. I loath facing imports for this very reason.
    Please BC - when are you going to get around to correcting this major shortcoming in a critical aspect of the solutions we deliver.

  • Is there any way to find out what caused Push Services to generate 22 MEGAbytes of data traffic in less than 20 minutes?

    Fortunately I was on Wifi when that happened, but my 500 MB data could run out quickly that way. According to Dataman it happened only once and I used only one other application at that time. Testing the same app with comparable usage didn't yield the same excessive data traffic. Normally Push Services comes to about 4MB per day (which in my opinion is already a lot). Though I use Wifi whereever I can, I am now really reluctant to have cellular data enabled and that's completely NOT the point of having a smartphone, or is it?
    I hope someone can shed some light on this.

    Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.

  • Does anyone know if there's any way to find out what files in my Library

         Does anyone know if there's any way to find out what files in my Library I can delete? I just cleaned off my HD onto a media drive as a back up so all my movies documents and photos are gone but my Library seems to be a huge space hog eating sixty gigs of space and I do have alot of apps but they don't take up a third of that space... Any ideas how I can figure out what is wasting all this space? I had Spring Cleaning once but found it to be rather confusing as to what was essential to the OS and what not...
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Get free OmniDisk Sweeper. I can't imagine how you could have sixty GB in that folder. My entire ~Library isn't even 1GB. Are you sure you're not talking about your entire Home folder?
    Can you post a screenshot of the contents of that folder.
    Check again. Are you sure you moved all the Movies etc. out? Could have left duplicates of everything behind when you did this.

  • Is there a way of finding out what has been accessed on my MacBook Pro whilst in the possession of an apple authorised service centre?

    Hi Guys,
    I'm a bit new to this discussion group thing although I've been using Macintosh computers for many years (showing my age).
    I handed my MacBook Pro to be repaired at an authorised apple service centre. When I handed it in they said they needed to keep hold of it to run some diagnostics and requested my password. I've owned various models of mac for the the past 17 years and this is the first hardware problem I have encountered, hence I have never bothered to set up user accounts. 
    As I live in quite a remote part of Sweden I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web. Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
    I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
    Thanks!
    PS: I've already thought about the 'recently opened' menu and The machine in question is a MacBook Pro 17" (2011) running OS X 10.6.8 (need Rosetta).

    I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web.
    If you put your info into the computer and hand it to another, you have to assume they will copy everything.
    Why are you putting scanned copies of valuable identity information into a computer than can be hacked, stolen, lost or compromised by a dirty tech?
    Have you lost your mind?
    Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
    No. The tech would just deny it if he did, or tell the truth which the answer would be "NO" in either case.
    The employer won't ask that sort of questions without solid proof, less they make a enemy of the employee and/or risk being sued for defamation of character.
    It's not like they bother to have a team of people watching over his shoulder that he doesn't stick a USB thumb drive of your data into his pocket to take home.
    I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks)
    If it's iTunes music, it has your personal ID embedded into the song files. Most IT techs know this though.
    I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
    Too late now, all you can do is not worry about it.
    Take your personal info out of the machine and if you need it, burn cd/dvd copies, a few USB thumb drives, Iron Keys or self encrypting external storage drives with key and/or keypad.

  • Is there a way of finding out what lists in sharepoint are being looked up for document templates etc

    Hi,
    I am currently in the middle of setting up SharePoint sites and have come across many lists that have not been updated for a while. I am wondering is there a way of finding out what lists are being used and what lists aren't being used for example I would
    like to find out if a list is being used for a look up.

    I don't think there any such option available OOTB, however you can use PowerShell to get such information e.g.
    $web = Get-SPWeb http://localhost
    $f = $web.Lists["Contact"].Fields["Customer"]
    $f.ListsFieldUsedIn()
    $web.Dispose()

    If they are not sure, then the answer is yes, your iPhone is jailbroken.
    What makes you question if your iPhone is jailbroken? What model
    is your iPhone (Settings=>General=>About and scroll down to Model)?
    What country did you buy your iPhone in? What wireless provider in
    what country are you using the iPhone with?
