Arrange Documents command, CS4

I have say, 3 images open in a tabbed window interface. I would like to take advantage of the the different document arrangements: vertical, horizontal etc. I choose 3 up and nothing happens. I make other arrange window choices and still nothing happens. Please tell me what I am missing here.
Thanks for your help.

The drop-down panel is located on the Application bar, not the Toolbar.
If you click then slide pointer to icon and let go, nothing will happen. You need to click once to access the pop-up panel, then click again on the target icon. There's no need to double-click but it won't do any harm.
I'd be tempted to call it a bug since there are other pop-up panels that do not require a second click and neither do pop-up menus. In fact, on the same pop-up panel, you can click-slide to the text command to select it but you cannot use the same method to select an icon command.

Arrange Documents CS4

Hello
One new feature in CS4 is 'arrange documents' and the drop down options.
This works great. However when I close the open files and open some more
CS4 has lost the settings I had. Is there somewhere to make it default to
'my' settings - always do the same as last settings. For example 'float all in windows' would be the default to always open new files instead of tabbed always opening first.
Thank You
Forrest

Ok Thank You. I think I found it. If anyone else would like the answer its uncheck 'Open Documents as Tabs' under prefs/interface/Panels & Documents

Photoshop CS4 'Arrange Documents' dialog

Photoshop CS4:
Problem: With several documents open by going to the ‘Arrange Documents’ flyout dialog they could be arranged in the manner required - however the dialog flyout on my setup is blank - I can still arrange the documents by clicking on the appropriate blank area - but I would like to see the appropriate indicators back in the dialog - they used to be there!
Any pointers to a fix for this?
I have tried removing and restoring CS4 - this didn’t fix the problem.
Thanks
Hawkeye

I removed Nik Silver Efex Pro and CS4 is happily back to where it should be - I have no real need for the Nik programme which I was trying out.
Thank you for a rapid and correct response to something that's been annoying me for the past week or two!

CS4 Arrange Documents in Workspace?

Just wondering, as a new CS4 user, if it might be possible to choose "Float All in Windows" from the Arrange Documents dropdown as a part of my workspace?

You set it in Edit > Preferences > Interface by unchecking Open documents as Tabs.

How to show/hide an indesign document in cs4

Hi all,
How to hide/show an indesign document in cs4.
In cs3 , I am doing this using the following code --
IWindow* docWindow = Utils<IWindowUtils>()->GetFrontDocWindow( docRef.GetDataBase() );
//Schedule the command to show the layout window of original document in CS3
InterfacePtr<ICommand> showHideCmd (CmdUtils::CreateCommand( kShowHideWinCmdBoss ));
InterfacePtr<ICloseWinCmdData > closeWinCmdData (showHideCmd, IID_ICLOSEWINCMDDATA);
closeWinCmdData->Set( docWindow );
InterfacePtr<IIntData> iIntData (showHideCmd, IID_IINTDATA);
iIntData->Set( IWindow::kShow );
CmdUtils::ScheduleCommand( showHideCmd );
docWindow->BringToFront();
In cs4, there is an API kShowHidePresentaitonCmd
Code that i wrote for CS4 --
//Schedule the command to show the layout window of original document in CS4IDocumentPresentation* docWindow = Utils<IDocumentUIUtils>()->GetFrontmostPresentationForDocument( docRef.GetDataBase() );
InterfacePtr<ICommand> showHideCmd (CmdUtils::CreateCommand( kShowHidePresentationCmdBoss ));
InterfacePtr<IPresentationCmdData> presentationCmdData (showHideCmd, IID_IPRESENTATIONCMDDATA);
presentationCmdData->Set( docWindow );
InterfacePtr<IIntData> iIntData (showHideCmd, IID_IINTDATA);
iIntData->Set( 0 );                                       // What is the parameter that should be passed in the set function. 0 is not working
ErrorCode result = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand( showHideCmd );
Hide/show document in cs4 is not working

ErrorCode ShowHideDocument(IDocumentPresentation*docWindow, int32 nShowHide)
ErrorCode result = kFailure;
do
InterfacePtr<IControlView> controlView (docWindow, UseDefaultIID());
if(controlView == nil)
     break;
if(nShowHide == 0)
   controlView->Hide();
else
   controlView->Show();
result = kSuccess;
}while( kFalse );
return result;
May be helpful!!

"Arrange Documents" panel plugin bug - Please Adobe give technical details

Hi,
A lot of users are hit by this bug that appears when installing certain
plugins under CS4 (Nik Software plugins for example):
- the menu bar buttons that should be highlighted in color when hovering
them switch to a full grey area.
- the 2 top Panels in the Arrange Documents drop down menu are
invisible.
Adobe say this is a problem with older plugins and a misunderstanding
about how resources are managed in plugins (read : it's a developer
mistake) and plugin vendors don't make any firm statement about this
issue.
The workaround that generally works is to close and reload the plugin
but this works only for the current session.
It would be nice if Adobe could give us users clear and detailed
technical information about this issue. Many of us are developers or
power users and since the communication between the plugin vendors and
Adobe doesn't seem to be that effective, at least we would be able to
transmit the information to the vendor's technical support ourselves.
And as a developer, I'd like to know what mistake so many developers
have made when using the CS4 SDK.
It's very annoying to live with such trivial problems since months
without seeing any fix released.

Chris,
However, it seems that there's a communication problem about this
particular issue, at least with some major vendors. I received a message
from Nik Software yesterday telling me that they are aware of the
problem and working on a fix. However, this is not a new problem and
since it is apparently a well-known misunderstanding about how some PS
APIs are working and since many plugins from various vendors are
triggering this misbehavior of the PS UI, I guess this must have been
documented somewhere. I can't imagine that this is not the case. If Nik
Software had received the right information from Adobe, the problem
should be gone since a long time.
Well, ok, I'll ask on the SDK forum.
Regards.

Arrange Documents menu blank

This is actually a sub-thread of this one:
Mylenium, "Initial issues with PS CS4 Extended Windows XP Pro." #1, 16 Oct 2008 8:52 pm
Since several users, including me, have reported that the top part of the Arrange Documents menu is blank in PS CS 4, I thought it would be helpful to those doing a search on the problem.
As seen in the other thread, removing the NIK plugins fixed at least one user's problem. In my case, it was removing the PhotoKit module from the Automate directory. I've been in touch with Pixel Genius Support about the PhotoKit problem, and they are having their engineer look into it.
Bottom line, it seems that if you're having this problem you might want to start by removing plugins to see if that cures it.

Chris - I appreciate the reply. It's frustrating though. CS4 has been out since mid-October - two months - and there is still finger pointing as to whose problem it is with various plug-ins, whether PixelGenius, NIK, OnOne, etc.; and even "fixed" plug-ins, like those from OnOne and NIK aren't fixed...they're workarounds or "live with it" solutions. Various plug-ins are an essential part of the workflow for many, probably the majority, of Photoshop users; it's disheartening that their seems to be so little collaboration between some of the major player and Adobe and vice-versa. I know it may be a bit too idealistic to think that updated plug-ins and the newest version of Photoshop would be released simulataneoulsy, but eight weeks without progress in some instances is baffling.

Arrange Documents Menu problem

The top half of the Arrange Documents Menu is blank even with multiple documents opened.

Thanks

>or are you really saying I should have said 'either/or' rather than 'both/and'?
Well, actually, yes! Maybe the correct way would have been: "it might be useful knowledge for any who might not frequent this forum and the Imagenomic forum".
But then a cheerful "it might be useful knowledge for any who might not frequent this forum or the Imagenomic forum" could very well draw some attention of the
sensors concerned.
Come to think of it: "it might be useful knowledge for any who might not frequent this forum and if appropriate the Imagenomic forum" hits the nail on my head.

Opening InDesign CS3 documents in CS4

I am hoping someone from Adobe can help me with this question. Here is the scenario:
I work on the support team in a prepress environment where we get hundreds of client supplied InDesign files weekly. Some clients supply their files in InDesign CS3 and some supply the files in InDesign CS4. We have both applications.
From our experience, we have found that if we open a InDesign CS3 document using InDesign CS4, there is a potential for items to disappear in the document. I don't know what changed from 3 to 4 to cause this problem. This has happened to us more than one time and we have experienced money losses due to on press errors.
One would say, as we have, if the document is supplied in InDesign CS3, work on it in InDesign CS3. Easy enough, right?
Well, not really. If you have CS3 and CS4 both installed on your mac at the same time, simply double-clicking on the file will default to CS4 (since it is newer).
We have told our operators that they need to identify what version the file was created in; which is not the easiest thing either.
If you "get info" on the file, you do not get accurate information. It may say "CS4", even if it is "CS3", I think this is because your system is reading what the newest application that you have install is.
I have found that by dragging the file over the CS3 icon in the doc, it will attempt to open the file in CS3 and if it truly is a CS4 document, you will get plugin errors and the file won't open. This works, but my 38 mac operators are so used to just double-clicking a file to open it, they sometimes forget to do it my way, and thats when we get errors.
Is there a plugin available that would prompt you, when double -clicking on a file as to what version it is, or what version InDesign that you would like to open the file in?
What did Adobe change in InDesign CS4 that would cause items to disappear or change when working on CS3 documents in CS4?
Thank you in advance.

First, this is a user forum, not an official Adobe support site, so you aren't talking to Adobe employees for the most part.
Second, though it is subtle, there is a visible difference between the icons for file created in CS3 and CS4, but you do need to look.
There is (or perhaps it's now "was") a known issue with master items disappearing when placing one ID file into another in CS4. Be sure your copies are updated to the latest patch. Another reason to avoid opening CS3 files in CS4 is potential differences in text flow due to text engine differences which will affect how lines break.
If you want to train your people in a hurry, tell them the next time you have to re-run a job because they opened it in the wrong version you'll deduct the cost from their pay.

Firefox ShadowDoc out of sync, how do I issue a "cache document" command?

frequently getting error message that ShadowDoc is out of sync because typing or pasting of text has been detected. Issue a "cache document: command to sync Dragon Dictate with your document

The only information I could find on this error is over 3 years old.
However the cache has permissions on each website. If you click on page info for a site that may be asking for cache access, you can check the permissions to store offline cache info.
Please also ask for help from the software's support, they may know what's going on.

Where is the "Arrange Document" Icon in Top Menu Bar in PS CS6?

PS CS5 had icons in the top menu bar where the "Arrange Documents" icons were located. Now I can only find them in the Window drop down list. Are they still available in CS6? It was nice not having to find them in the "Window" drop down list.

Some UI (or is it UX, nowadays) genius at Adobe has reduced accessibility of frequently used features.
If there are particular arrangements you often use, assign keystrokes to the menu items.

I can't open CS5 documents in CS4

I can't open CS5 documents in CS4. I know I need to update my plugins, but when I go to updates it says there are none. I have a hardcopy of CS4, is there a way to download CS4 electronically so I can receive all the updates I need? I have no idea how to do this manually . . . or maybe I just need to upgrade to CS5?

Or else you need to update CS4 to the 6.0.6 patch...
And please delete your personal information when you reply by email. You don't want that published on the web. Also, the forums do not acept attachments. If you want to show us an image you must return to the web page and use the camera icon to embed it in a post, like this:

Application Bar's "Arrange Documents" goes blank when curser hovers over it

Whenever the cursor hovers over the "Arrange Documents", "Screen Mode", "Launch Bridge", "View Extras", "Hand Tool", "Zoom Tool" and "Rotate View Tool" the icons go blank.
When clicking on them (i.e. "Arrange Documents") only alphanumeric is displayed. When moving the cursor over the blank area where icons should be displayed, only the pop-up tool tips are displayed.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
Cheers,
Michael

There is a work-around...
The following is NIK's answer to my question:
"Thank you for your email. This is a known issue that will be resolved with a future update. Until then there is a work around where if you just close and reopen the selective tool, the issue will go away. You can reopen the selective tool by going under the File > Automate option inside of Photoshop."

I can open my document in cs4 that was saved previously but it won't let me make any changes

I created a document on cs4 on one computer that I have at home and when I went to work and opened it up on that computer to make edits it will let me open it up but I can't make any changes. any suggestions?

What happens when you try? Sounds at the moment like either things are locked or you did all the layout on the master page.

Can you open a cs3 document to cs4?

hi my school has cs4 and due to limited time i decided to work at home on Adobe flash profesional cs3. I was wondering if i could open a cs3 document to cs4.

Yes, a CS3 file can be opened, edited, and saved as a CS3 file using CS4. But not the other way around.
