Administering InDesign files and Links on a central server

I'm trying to find a way to store and administer InDesign projects and their files on a central server, its possible to create a program that could host and admister files on a server and give access to them based on user and groups and that stuff?
Something like a SVN repository for editors, writers and designers. I checked out Version CUE which actually have almost everything i wish but I'm trying to include also some Work Flow Control on it, and unfortunately Version Cue its not customizable that were wonderful if i could access the internals of Version Cue via ASP.NET, PHP or something similar, I'm completely lost any clue?

Thanks for the info, it helps a lot. You say there is no "practical" way to search for a file under a URL path. What I am trying to do is load a file that begins with a particular prefix. (eg. I wish to load a file called "funnyImage0011204924." However, the numbers after the prefix "funnyImage" are variable, and might require change in the future. Is it possible to load any file with the prefix "funnyImage," using URL methods? Would I need to create a new class? Is this impossible?)
Please remember that I do not plan to go outside the .jar file, so there is no point in trying to get around server permissions and all that if it is unnecessary.

Upload file and link to sales order in SAP via rfc (C#)

Hello all,
In my company we have the possibility to attach files to sales orders, e.g. pdf files with the printing details.
These files are added by the GUI user, this works fine.
Now we have an extra order creation stream in which a pdf file has to be added to the SO without user interaction.
In a previous question I had a little question about the linking, that has been solved, I will post the test program later.
I now can link front end files (pdf's in this case) to the sales orders and it works fine.
Now we are developing a frontend in C# (build by a third party) which creates a sales order via a RFC. We also want that RFC to include the PDF file and link it to the created order.
In the interface of the RFC I included a table with 255 char lines. That is the same as in the example program. the problem is that our partner is yet unable to fill the interface in exact the same way as the example program does, so the linked pdf file is corrupted.
Does anyone have hints how C# should fill the interface table, or how I can change the interface?
code snippid table declaration for pdf table:
IT_PDF     LIKE     ZETEX_TAB_PDF
and
structure ZETEX_TAB_PDF consists of
LINE     CHAR255

Problem involving saving over indesign file and pdf

Kind of a strange one this one....
I'm currently working on a magazine and have several InDesign files in one folder that i'm working on and a seperate folder where I have saved exported pdf versions of these files. The files are the same names in ach folder eg '1 - 40' '2 - 39' and so on
I accidentally saved over one of my InDesign files so I understand I will not be able to recover it as I wasnt using any backup utility.
However before I saved over the file I had created a pdf version of it and saved it in my pdf folder. So i'm thinking not all is lost as I can use the pdf file to send to the printers.
Now here's the strange bit - I am using PC and when I open explorer I can see the folder icon where all my pdf files are saved and can actually see the 'lost/saved over' pdf version as one of the mini thumbnails for that folder - but when I click on the folder to view the files inside it isnt there - instead it shows a thumbnail of the file i saved over it with...!?!
I'm thinking is there somekind of automatic updating PDF export setting that I may have selected or is it possible that folder icon is using a snapshot of what was inside at a certain point??
Either way I could really do with recovering this PDF - if anyone has any suggestions i'm more than happy to hear them.
Thanks
Mark

i thought this would help a little
This is the folder icon - in which all my pdf's are. The top left thumbnail is the 'missing/saved over' pdf. So you'd think it would be in there?
Below is a view of the contents of that folder - (for those of you with good eyesight) you can see that the top left thumbnail from the above picture is nowhere to be seen in this folder!!

I saved my file as a regular Indesign file, and when I went to open it on a different computer it had a lock on it and will not let me open it. Can someone please explain why this is happening and how to unlock it? It's for a very important and urgent pro

Please help if you can!

Assuming the file is stored on a network server, and the "other computer" is on that network as well; with InDesign not running on either, navigate to the folder where the InDesign file is stored and find the lock file (it will have the extension .idlk). Delete it.

Extracting an image data merge field using only an indesign file and not document.dataMergeProperties.dataMergeFields

Hi,
I have kind of a weird requirement but I hope you guys can help out.
I need to extract all the custom fields used in an indesign file without referencing the dataMergeProperties of a document. Sorry if this is a weird request it is just what I've been told (our system needs to not crash when people upload a variety of in design documents to generate high resolution jpg preview documents).
I can already get all the text custom fields by looking for "<<" and ">>" in the text frames of a document but I'm having a really hard time finding the image custom fields.
I tried looking at the rectangles for a given page but that didn't seem to help (but maybe i'm missing some there). I also tried looking at the graphics and images collection of a document but this seemed to return only graphics that are hard coded on the in design document and not the custom image fields.
Any help would be appreciated!

Uggg....
Found the answer after I realized I was looking at the wrong SDK (5.0 instead of 6.0)
I'm using the doc.hyperlinkPageItemSources property to get these images. It also looks like you can get the image data merge fields from DataMergeImagePlaceholder (but rememeber I couldn't access this).

Combining Indesign files, and maintaining Master Pages

Hi
I have some Indesign files which I need to combine.
But I'd like for them to keep their individual Master Pages,
because of how they are page numbered.
I suppose there is a way of working with Sections for this,
but the page numbers appear on either the left side or the right side
depending on whether they are even or odd...
So is there a way of doing this?
I'm stuck...
Only other way I can think of is doing separate PDF files and
combining those... But there's gotta be a way in Indesign... Hasn't there?
Thanks a lot
Nikki

You are correct, printing double sided indeed.
And yes, the reader will see it as spreads.
To be honest, we are both relatively new,
and are just following what people in our
positions in the past have done.
They used to do their catalogs
all in Photoshop, and then combine into a PDF.
So even simply using InDesign to layout the pages
was a bit of a stretch in terms of opening
up eyes!
The way we're doing it should still work out fine though
I guess it just wasn't the most efficient.
Is this what you mean?

Auditing failed access to files and folders in Windows Storage Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I've been trying to figure out why I cannot audit the failed access to files and folders on my server. I'm trying to replace a unix-based NAS with a Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 solution so I can use my current audit tools (the 'nix NAS
has basically none). I'm looking for a solution for a small remote office with 5-10 users and am looking at Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 (no props yet, but on a Buffalo appliance). I specifically need to audit the failure of a user to access
folders and files they are not supposed to view, but on this appliance it never shows. I have:
Enabled audit Object access for File system, File share and Detailed file share
Set the security of the top-level share to everyone full control
Used NTFS file permissions to set who can/cannot see particular folders
On those folders (and letting those permissions flow down) I've set the auditing tab to "Fail - Everyone - Full Control - This folder, subfolders and files"
On the audit log I only see "Audit Success" messages for items like "A network share object was checked to see whether client can be granted desired access (Event 5145) - but never a failure audit (because this user was not allowed access by NTFS permissions).
I've done this successfully with Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 w/SP1 and am wondering if anybody has tried this with the Windows Storage Server version (with success of course). My customer wants an inexpensive "appliance" and I thought this new
variant of 2008 was the ticket, but I can't if it won't provide this audit.
Any thoughts? Any of you have luck with this? I am (due to the fact I bought this appliance out of my own pocket) using the WSS "Workgroup" flavor and am wondering if this feature has been stripped from the workgroup edition of WSS.
TIA,
--Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey,
The steps to setup Audit on a WSS system should be the same as a standard version of Windows Server. So please redo the steps listed below to see if issue still exists:
Enabling file auditing is a 2-step process.
[1] Configure "audit object access" in AD Group Policy or on the server's local GPO. This setting is located under Computer Configuration-->Windows Settings-->Security Settings-->Local Policies-->Audit Policies. Enable success/failure auditing
for "Audit object access."
[2] Configure an audit entry on the specific folder(s) that you wish to audit. Right-click on the folder-->Properties-->Advanced. From the Auditing tab, click Add, then enter the users/groups whom you wish to audit and what actions you wish to audit
- auditing Full Control will create an audit entry every time anyone opens/changes/closes/deletes a file, or you can just audit for Delete operations.

File and Directory Maintenance on OSX Server

Are there any special considerations for using file and directory maintenance utilities such as Disk Warrior or TechTool, etc. when dealing with OSX Server, or can it be handled just like any other volume.
We have all of our data and our user home directories on the server and I would like to run some miantenance on them.
Thanks.

I am no expert on disk utilities.
Personally, I just have a separate 5G partition with a minimal OSX which I boot from once a month (or before a server update) and run Disk Repair & Repair Permissions from.
As far as I know, there is nothing going on on the server that is not going on on a 'normal' OSX machine (at file level mode). The OSX unix offering is miles from the previous OS9 model where the likes of Norton was almost mandatory. The built-in 'periodic' scripts and disk utility 'repair' (see "man fsck" in Terminal) all run at unix level, and have done for years, even before Apple II days!
Although I have both Disk Warrior & TechTool, I don't use them except in an 'emergency' (otherwise called: "try anything").
I would be interested in any other comments though.

File and print sharing on windows server 2008

Hi, Now that microsoft have removed the apple compatability oprtion from server 2008 onwards. Does anyone know how to interate Macs onto them?
Primarily this is for sharing files and printing services, but also vpn access etc.
We are new to mac computing and are starting to change over our infrastructure but at the firat attempt we hit this problem. Apple support just say 'we dont support that'
Not good service, so I thought the community would know?
Please help!

How can I upload an audio file and link a page on my webiste to it?

I host a radio show weekly, have recorded broadcasts in MP3, want to host them on itunes and have a link from my website for visitors to listen to. Can anyone help me? Thanks

Could I ask you to read my 'get you started' page on podcasting, which should answer most of your questions.
http://rfwilmut.net/pc
If you still have questions do please come back.
As to your website, which is a separate matter from iTunes, you can provide embedded players - these pages gives you some information:

View for files and links

Can we have a view to display all the files posted and all the links pasted on the chat window (Quick access). This would be specific to each group / individual.

You are not going to find an 'exact' match in our existing classes. The rednering HOWTO(http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/howtos/jsp/renderers.html) provides enough information for implementing your readonly lookup field. If you look at the first renderer in this document, it uses a static lookup list. You can easily use a secondary view object for your lookup values. Here is the code from that document:
package myrenderers;
import oracle.jdeveloper.html.ReadOnlyField;
import oracle.jbo.Row;
import oracle.jbo.AttributeDef;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class ListFieldRenderer extends ReadOnlyField
public ListFieldRenderer()
public String renderToString(Row row)
setValueFromRow(row);
AttributeDef aDef = getAttributeDef();
String sAttrValue = getValue();
String sList = (String)aDef.getProperty("DISPLAY_LIST");
if(sAttrValue != null && sList != null)
StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(sList, ",", false);
while(tokens.hasMoreTokens())
String sEntry = tokens.nextToken();
String sValue = sEntry.substring(sEntry.indexOf('=') + 1);
String sKey = sEntry.substring(0, sEntry.indexOf('='));
if(sKey.equals(sAttrValue))
return sValue;
return super.renderToString(row);

Java.io.File and links

Currently, I'm working on a project that does file recursion through large filesystems. I've noticed that when I try to traverse links (shortcuts under windows NT) they simply show up as plain files that are not followed. For the program that I'm writing, this behaviour is good; I don't want to follow links. However, I don't know if this is the intended behaviour for the Java VM. Will this behaviour change in the future? If it does, will it default to following links, or to presenting them as plain files (as it does currently)?
TIA for any help that you can provide.

thnx..its started to work now...atleast it does give an output now..but now the prob is tht it duznt remove the html tags!!it simply returns the whole source code and prints it on the console!!

Can I take a managed file and link it to a referenced file?

Is this possible?
I am creating a referenced library. Going forward, I know that I need to use only the referenced file to make new versions within Aperture. But going back through my old files, I have originals and then all the edited copies. These are only linked together in my head, because my practice was to make a copy of an original before working on it, so when Aperture imports it, it sees my copy as a new "original". I wondered if it is possible to reestablish any kind of link between my edited copies and the actual original file.
Thank you.
LCA

Sorry not possible. To Aperture every file imported is an original (master). There is no way to say this import is a version of that original.
You can come close using keywords and possibly stacks. It's not exactly what you are looking to do but at least you'll be bale to locate and group all similar images.
