Bridge menu item tools photoshop batch is not present in CS4

I recently installed CS4 on an iMac running OS 10.5.7. I have a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, with 4 GB of ram. The hard drive is 1 Terrabyte.
In CS3 I could invoke my photoshop actions from bridge. No such luck here. I'm finding references to tools>photoshop>batch, but am at a loss as to why I don't see this option in my copy of Bridge.
Online help isn't helping or I'm not using the correct search criteria. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I've attached a screen grab of the menu list.

Bridge CC Tools - Photoshop - Batch does not work in Photoshop CC 2014.

in Bridge CC Tools - Photoshop - Batch does not work in Photoshop CC 2014. At first I didn't even see the option but I reinstalled Photoshop CC and now I see the menu option but when I try it there is a message that I need to use Photoshop CC. So I open Photoshop CC and the same thing happens? I can't seem to make it work.

Problem with Bridge CS5 and Tools Photoshop Batch

When I select several images in Bridge CS5 and go to Tool>Photoshop>Batch and try an run an Action, I receive an error message asking for the Install disk. Bridge at that point freezes until I put in the install disk and then it runs the batch action fine.
This is very annoying as I always have to have the disk in my DVD Drive.
Any points would be welcomed.
Thanks,

Go to preferences/startup scripts and make sure there is a check mark for Bridge and Photoshop scripts.

Buglet in Tools/Photoshop/Batch file list

I was just having a look at this and noticed that for me when I use it to run a trivial action in PS from Bridge (just opens selected files and leaves them open) it is opening the selected files PLUS one other file that is not selected. The file it is opening is always the same one and this persists even after opening and closing Bridge - so I would guess it is something happening either at the scriptstore level or within the core of PS / BR itself. It is not a problem with the Bridge selection list since I tested for this with my own batch process scripts and got the expected results.

Andrew,
To make things perfectly clear for me, is this the menu item
Tools -> Photoshop -> Batch...
Or is it a script that you've written that uses scriptstore?
The menu item for Batch... doesn't use scriptstore afaik

CS3: Tools Photoshop Batch does nothing

I select a bunch of found files and go to Tools > Photoshop > Batch. This used to present the Batch dialogue in Photoshop allowing me to run a batch action on the found files. Now it does nothing. Photoshop is running, computer recently restarted.

>Update: Computer's hard drive recently replaced from a freshly formatted image. Still no joy.
Meaning what exactly? I don't understand this way, what is "replaced from a freshly formatted image"
And could you tell more details about OS and software version's
Have you already tried to refresh preferences for Bridge?

Bridge CS6 (Windows 7) Photoshop/Batch menu missing.

I've installed CS6 (CS5 is still on the machine), and in the Bridge Menu, there is no longer a Batch menu item for initiating actions.
In Bridge's Edit/Preference command, I have the Startup Scripts checked. There are no files in the "Startup Scripts" folder.
I don't see a "Startup Scripts" folder in CS5, only in CS6.
I can still do batch operations directly from Photoshop CS6's automate window, however, I like the ability in Bridge to select specific files on which to run the action.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

Loading Batch from Bridge-Tools-Photoshop-Batch no screen appears

Can't get Batch screen to load in cs6 from Bridge-Tools-Photoshop-Batch

Hello! are you on a PC, a MAC? can we have more info about your machine.
Is anything non-standard on your setup, for instance: Are you using restricted profiles on a PC?
The window does not show, there is no error message? is Ps running? does it work from Photoshop? what kind of files are selected?
If you give all the relevant info directly you'll get your answers faster.

Power user function: cmd+shift+/ not activating menu items in Photoshop

In Photoshop (Mac OS X), I typically use the pattern type cmd+shift+/ to open the help menu, type the phrase of the menu item I want to use, and then hit enter to activate the selected menu item.
I just checked Photoshop CC and the enter key does not seem to correctly behave as it should. Instead of activating the selected menu item, it just dismisses the help menu.
Is there a way to force the enter key to behave correctly, as it does in other apps?

It seems to do the same running 14.1.2 on mac os x 10 6.8
It seemed to work fine before updating from version 14.0

OSX help menu search not activating menu items in Photoshop CC

In Photoshop CS6, about 200 times a day I'd hit Command+Shift+/ to bring up the Help menu focused on the search field, just like I do in all of my apps. I'd type a couple letters from a menu item somewhere in the giant tangle of menu options, down arrow to the match, and hit Enter to action it.
I can still do this in Illustrator CC (and everywhere), but it's gone in Photoshop CC – it all works up to hitting Enter, which just closes the menu without actioning anything.
This is so much faster than mousing through the menu, so much more centralized and extensible than keyboard shortcuts. I miss it.
Here's a quick, dumb screencast showing how this works in Chrome (or any app), but not in PS CC: http://f.cl.ly/items/1p273r0h3k3w202w3m00/screencast.mov
I've contacted Adobe twice, on Photoshop.com (1) and on their support forums (2), and their engineer, Chris Cox, is drawing a line in the sand. He says their team hasn't done anything to provoke this bug, and that it's an Apple issue. Further, he says he can't (or he won't) deal with Apple's engineering directly, and that we users should do so through these forums. So, here's my swing.

(2) http://forums.adobe.com/message/6145901#6145901

Naw, I got nothing, I didn't even have a search field. Like, empty space, nothing to be found... HOWEVER. I reinstalled PS CC and got the search field back, then changed my shortcut to ⌘⇧+ system wide, and bam.. it worked.
I'm happy.
Greetings also from our mutual friend C. Cox from Adobe... Yeah, that's me.

Javascript Select Menu Item & Tool

I am brand new to javascript and quite overwhelmed trying to learn this language. I am trying to convert extensions for Photoshop that were created with Configurator 4 (in case some of you may not know, these panels will no longer be supported in future versions of Photoshop).
I need to create some HTML panels that use javascript. If someone could help me get started with some basic javascript I would be greatly appreciative.
Here is what I need to get started:
1. Tabs at the very top for access to different panel layers.
2. Open menu item with button connected to javascript.
3. Select tool from javascript.
I have found the documentation a bit scarce for non-coders (Hello Adobe), so if someone could show me how the above would work then I probably can figure out the rest.
Thanks in Advance - Sam

Thank you - that's the ticket.
For both tool and menu item I had ScriptingListenerJS active and it gave me the javascript for selecting a tool and also a menu item.
I will look into the creating tabs on the panel in html.
Another question:
I am working with the "Hello World" extension example and am a bit confused by the main.js file.
(function () {
    'use strict';
    var csInterface = new CSInterface();
    // Reloads extension panel
    function reloadPanel() {
        location.reload();
    function init() {
        themeManager.init();
        $("#btn_reload").click(reloadPanel);
        $("#btn_test").click(function () {
            csInterface.evalScript('sayHello()');
        $("#new_doc").click(function () {
            csInterface.evalScript('newDoc()');
         $("#myNewDoc").click(function () {
            app.documents.add();
    init();
On the html page there is this: <button id="btn_test">Call ExtendScript</button>
On the main.js file there is this:
$("#btn_test").click(function () {
            csInterface.evalScript('sayHello()');
What does the "$" mean and what does the "#" mean in front of "btw_test".
Thanks in advance - Sam

Unable to create Menu Item List Buttons in Forms - Not Working!

Hi guys,
I need desperate help since I have been stuck on these for 2 days and I am unable to move forward!!
I am trying to create a pdf form using Acrobat pro 9 and Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES. Since I am new to this, I have been browsing through numerous sites, forums and tutorials to learn about this. So far, I was able to create the forum with text fields, etc.. I am trying to have a column in my pdf form where the users can simply copy & paste image icons here..I was having difficulty with this already and have done numerous searches in google. In the end, I thought I am better off trying to use the "stamp" tool for this instead of image field. So this is what I did:
1) I already placed the image icons (that the users will be copying & pasting) on my pdfs so users can simply click on it to select the image.
2) I added a new bottom to this form which has the short cut to the menu item "copy" function. I labeled this button as 'Copy' and to this button, I added the following javascript for "Mouseup":
app.execMenuItem("CopyFileToClipboard");
3) Next I created another button that I called 'paste' and this button executes the "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" menu. This button has the following javascript:
app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:StampFromClipboardMenuItem");
I thought that after doing the above, the user should be able to click on one of the images in the pdf, then click on 'copy' button and in the end click on 'paste' button that will then run an action so user can stamp this copied image to where ever they want in that file. But this is not happening!! I dont why?? Nothing happens when these buttons are clicked. I have made sure that the "Extended features in Adobe Reader..." is enabled and also tried running the above javascripts on my console window to test it and i know that the actual javascript code is not at fault since these functions works when I try the code through the debugger window. But I just cannot figure out why these menu item functions are not working when the buttons I had created are clicked!!! I dont know if what I have done is correct or if there is a easier way to achieve what I am trying to do!! Its a shame there is no simpler way for the end-users to copy and paste images to the columns in the pdf forms.
please help me understand why the above button are not working....any help will be great!!

Hi Paul,
This is further to our email correspondence. I am just pasting your email response here since it may be useful to other newbies like me:
"Ok here you go ......I had to add the new row via a script object as the new objects are not completely available until the script ends so I cannot resize the new row from teh current script.
Then when we resize - we have to resize the row, the cells and the image ....we start with all existing subforms then we do it for the new row that was just added.
Lastly I see that you have a delete row button. This will have to be part of the row otherwise we ill not know which row the user will want to delete .....unless you ask them (which is not good UI design)."
I was really impressed the way you modified the script so the table height does not change when new rows are added. That did help me in understanding the methods and it will certainly be v useful to me in the future. I have been practicing and getting a hang of LS and I have actually decided to redesigned my form since it appears that trying to have a fixed table height is quite a bit of work each time a row is added, removed or changed, etc... Your advise so far have been v helpful and it has helped me in redesigned the form into a different layout. So far so good...However, I just have a few more clarifications regarding some hurdles I am facing:
PS: I have emailed you a sample of my new form now so you can have a look at it.
1) Dynamic Image fields:
In this form, I have a subform that has a dropdown list and next to this, I have an image field. I want to change the image based on the selection in the dropdown list. I found a few samples and tutorials on this already and I tried 2 different approach for this. One works and the other doesnt.
Method that works: What I have done here is, I added all the images in the form and have put their presence to invisible. Then using the javascript, I am making the image visible based on the selection in the dropdown list. I found this method somewhere through googling and it works.
Method that doesnt work: Its similar to the above, but instead of putting all the images in the form, I just inserted 1 image field and then tried to change the url of this dynamic image based on the selection in the drop down list. But this method is not working. I tried inserting this jscript and nothing happens:
switch (this.rawValue)
case "1":
myImages.value.Image.href=http://www.mysiteaddress.com/blah_blah.jpg;
break;
case "2":
myImages.value.Image.href=http://www.mysiteaddress.com/blah_blah2.jpg;
break;
The 2nd method does not work. Although I know the method 1 above works and I am currently using it, I am just curious to find out why the 2nd method is not working? Did I get the script wrong or is this feature no longer allowed? I just thought that if the second method works fine, it saves the hassle of putting all the images on the form and then making them hidden. Instead, I just need to put one image field and then dynamically change its image based on the selection. I hope this make sense..please advise..
2) Changing the background colour of the Dropdown list box:
I am trying to change the bg colour of the listbox in the dropdown list object (only the listbox bg color and not the whole background color). So, I added the following script to the mouseEnter event and this works:
var vName = this.somExpression;
var fieldObj = xfa.resolveNode(vName + ".ui.#choiceList.border.fill.color");
fieldObj.value = "255,255,225";
My Problem: The above script works so I dont need to change anything there. But, I also want to add another script to the mouseExit event to change the fill color to its default once the mouse leaves the dropdown lists. Initially, this field has no fill colour and the border fill style is none. The fill color is only added during the mouseEnter event. How do I change the bg color fill back to none during mouseExit after the above script is executed on mouseEnter?
(NOTE: If you see my form, I have used the above scripts for the dropdown list only in "boxSubform[0]".)
3) Changing the length of the Dropdown List box:
I only have about 1.6 inches workspace to add this dropdown list box. However, the length of some lists (list items) in this dropdown list box is actually longer and the remaining part is cut out. So, I added the following script to increase the dropdownlist length and it does not work the way I would have hoped...
The script I have written so far:
I added these to the mouseEnter event and it works fine -
form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.Row1.boxSubform[0].MyDropdown::mouseEnter - (JavaScript, client)
this.w = "2in"; //this is to to increase the width of the dropdown list
I added these to the mouseExit event and it works fine too-
form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.Row1.boxSubform[0].MyDropdown::mouseExit - (JavaScript, client)
this.w = "1.625in";
When I tested the form with the above script, this is what happens:
1) First when you move the mouse over this field, the width increases. Similarly the width decreased when you move away.
2) So, even if this is clicked, the list box is opened with this 2inch width so thats good.
3) There are no problems when the mouse is moved over these list items as well. However, this does not look good when the dropdown list item is clicked with its item lists open and then the mouse leaves this area. In this case, as soon as the mouse leaves this area, the mouseExit script runs and hence it makes the drop down list width to shrink eventhough the list items are still open. How do I resolve this? I was thinking about this and I thought the possible way to overcome this is by writing a javascript for the mouseExit event executing something like this:
if this dropdown list is open,
then this.w = "2in";
else
this.w = "1.625in";
I am not sure how to write a jscript for the above?
(NOTE: If you see my form, I have used the above scripts for the dropdown list in "boxSubform[0]".)
4) Hiding the alternative row shadowing for hidden columns:
If you check out my form, you can notice that I have put the "close" button (button to delete table rows) on the left column and I have also put its presence to "Visible (screen only)". The parent table has got the 'alternative row shadow' checked. What I notice here is, when this page is printed, eventhough the first column's presence is set to "Visible (Screen Only)", it still prints the row shadow for this column and it looks bad. How can I fix this? Any help will be great!
I have already emailed you my new form again so you can have a look.
Thanks again Paul and I cant thank you enough for your help. I am sooo happy to see such a great support and resources available here since it can be a nightmare for some newbies like me... :-)

Why while in Bridge Load Files into photoshop Layers does not work?

In Bridge, Tools>Photoshop>Load Files into Photoshop Layers does not work. I have two images selected and when I execute that comman in Bridge nothing happens. I exited and restarted both PS and Bridge and still nothing. I am working in Windows 7 and Photoshop cs6.

No I tried File/scripts/load file into stack and still did not work.
There was an update to bridge and now it works. Thanks so much.

Many Menu items on 4.1 is not working.

Hi All,
I have an application on 4.0.2 which has many menu items. (around 500 items with sub menus = which is a kind of conversion from other application)
This application was running ok on ver 4.0.2 but when i installed ver 4.1 it and I run the application it hangs long time, memory usage on the server for Oracle increases up to 12 G (which is normally 1 G)
If i hide the menu (with condition = show never) than everything works fine.
What could be the problem? or where should i look to solve this problem?
Kind Regards,
Osman.

Can you send a screenshot of the error? Or any LMS logs that can assit with troubleshooting? Are you able to ssh direct from the LMS server?

Why are certain menu items in the sample editor not showing up?

most of the functions and all of the digital factory menu items are inaccessible (grey) -- what would cause that?

Make sure you have selected the waveform (or a part of it) in the editor before choosing a function.

Tools/Menu Items in Photoshop 6 ("Where is the * Tool now?")

So, you've been working with Photoshop 5.0 or 5.5 and you are used to seeing the tools laid out before you in a certain way. Now you install Photoshop 6.0 and your entire interface is messed up. Where IS everything??
Once you get into using Photoshop 6.0, you'll find that it's not really messed up. The most frequently used items are laid out for easier and quicker access.
Below is a list of some of the most frequently (and not so frequently) asked questions concerning the location of your favorite tools.

>
TOOLBOX TOOLS
Crop Tool
It's graduated from the Rectangular Marquee pop out menu to it's own button-third one down on the left. Whoohoo!
Gradient tool
It's no longer hiding behind the Eyedropper Tool. It has its own button, which hides the Paint Bucket tool.
Line Tool
It's now listed behind the Custom Shape Tool. You can access this by holding down on the Custom Shape Tool Button until the Line Tool pops out.
Liquify
Under the Image Menu.
Measure Tool
It's in the Eyedropper Tool flyout. You can access this by clicking and holding down on the Eyedropper Tool until the Measure Tool appears.
Paint Bucket
It's in the Gradient Tool flyout. You can access this by clicking and holding down on the Gradient Tool until the Paint Bucket Tool appears.
Pencil Tool
It's in the Brush Tool flyout. You can access this by clicking and holding down on the Brush Tool until the Pencil Tool appears.
Rubber Stamp
It's there. It's been renamed the "Clone Stamp".
Type Masks
They are now a part of the Options Bar.
