Bug: Setting "Don't include footnotes" via scripting doesn't change the find/change dialog

Hi,
Small bug, but can be confusing. Whether you write this line:
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
or this line:
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = true;
... you won't see any different in the little footnotes button in the
find/replace dialog, even though the setting does work via scripting.
More testing is needed to see what can be done to get the UI in sync
with the setting...
Ariel

The dialog isn't updated while it's displayed. But hiding the dialog and displaying it again (twice Ctrl+F) shows that the script did do its thing.

[svn] 3401: don't include frameworks/projects/air/ ApplicationUpdater directory in the package.

This is only an option on iOS, because IPA structure keeps icons in the "root" of the application. Even then, I shouldn't have to manually overwrite the filenames when the ADT command already knows their correct names and location within the package.
But on Adroid, this is impossible, because the icons in the APK structure are outside of the "root" of the application. And ADT command does not let me add files outside of the application root.

What are you getting on the TV? Are you getting a completely blank screen, or are you getting a message similar to 'no input detected'? Or are you seeing the spiral galaxy desktop? If you go into System Preferences -> Displays then do you have an 'Arrangements' tab?

Set filename of printed PDF via script

Hi folks!
I have a little problem with generating a PDF. First my Workflow:
I have a InDesign document with 6 pages. This document is merged with a databasefile containing 100 records. After merging it, we have to generate a PDF file. This PDF file is opened within acrobat. Within the document, I'm searching for an ID each record has so I can split the document to 100 files (each with 6 pages) and name it by the ID I found.
The script within Acrobat is finished and working. I thought, the InDesign script is finished ,too. But I was wrong -.-
I merged the databasefile with the document and exported it as PDF. But after exporting, we noticed that the script within Acrobat isn't finding the adressheader where the ID is in. The script only noticed the text after that header. The result is, that Acrobat get's always "null" as ID
If we print the PDF with our PDFprinter, the header could be read by our Acrobat script. I don't know why this is... But now I changed the script to print the files via our PDF printer. Unfortunately I can't set a name for my exported file - do you know if there is a possibility to print PDF's without prompting after each one and with a via script given name?
Here you can see the old script for InDesign and right after it, the Acrobat sript. Maybe I made some mistake by generating my PDFexport and don't need to use the printer?

Image script doesn't use the correct host name

Hello NG
I created a ZCM Imaging script so that I got a prompt for the name of the
workstation. Unfortunatelly the script doesn't work correct. I set as WSName
following Name WS999
After the Image was restored, the hostname was set to Company-SJCFNSG
(example: Company = Novell) NOVELL-SJCFNSG
What could be the cause of this problem?
Here the script i used:
IMGSVR=192.168.4.30
while test ! $WSNAME; do
echo -n -e "\n Please set NetBIOS Name and a accept with Enter: ";
read WSNAME;
done;
if test $WSNAME; then
zisedit Name=$WSNAME;
fi
img -rp MyImage1.zmg
img -rp MyAddOn1.zmg
img -rp MyAddOn2.zmg
sleep 10
Regards
Ramon

I did find the solution!
In earlier Zenworks versions the wsname was set by "zisedit name=PCName01"
now in ZCM10 and ZCM11 the variable did change so I had to modify it to
zisedit Computername=PCName01
if test $WSNAME; then
zisedit ComputerName=$WSNAME;
fi

I don't have any color in my icons in the finder

I don't have any color in my application icons in finder.

Go to the link below, download and install the program. Please read the instructions on the page.
http://culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php
Then go to the link below, download and extract the program. Put the program in the plugins folder created above.
http://cooviewerzoom.web.fc2.com/colorfulsidebar.html
Force quit Finder and when you open a new Finder window, you should have color in the sidebar, although not across the top. You will need to Force quit Finder and open a new window after almost all restarts and startups.
Not perfect, but it works.
As an alternative, you can go to the link below and download the program. In the Lion Tweaks section, there is a tweak to restore color in the Finder sidebar, but I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it works.
Hope this helps.

How to change multi Find-Change Queries into a scripting

I was wondering if possible transcribe multi Find-Change Queries into a scripting?
If it is possible, can someone tell me how?

1) Buy something and charge the rest to a credit card.
2) Ask Apple to keep the balance.

Setting filenames for images sequences via scripting

Is there a good way to set the output filename for a sequence via scriping? When I explicitly set the filename and render location, the frame number is being appended to the end of the extension. (example: "filename.png002").

Did a quick test.
You can set name the way you want "Comp 1-[#].jpg" - I mean if you add [#] by hand, AE seems to respect that.
So I guess you could check how many frames you are going to render and set appropriate amount of # signs in the file name.
Looking at your example, seems that AE ads frame number after the extension. In case you want to control where AE puts those frame numbers, try this "filename-[#].png" - that should do the trick.

JDBC Datasource creation via ANT doesn't expose the JNDI name

I'm using the wlconfig ANT task to create a Datasource (& JDBC connectionpool) on the weblogic server. The datasource is created fine, and I can test it using the console.
The problem is that the provided JNDI name isn't exposed in the JNDI tree. This seems to be related to the fact that the following element is generated in the config/jdbc/CP-PoolName-2164-jdbc.xml
<jdbc-data-source>
<name>PoolName</name>
<internal-properties>
*<property>*
*<name>LegacyType</name>*
*<value>1</value>*
*</property>*
When removing the LegacyType 1 property from the JDBC config xml, the JNDI name is exposed fine.
I've used the instructions located at [http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/programming/ant_tasks.html] where an example of a JDBCConnectionPool creation is provided.
The 10.3 documentation doesn't include the example anymore, but I'm having the problem both on BEA Weblogic 10.0 and Oracle Weblogic 10.3
<wlconfig url="t3://localhost:7001" username="weblogic" password="weblogic">
bq. <query domain="base_domain" type="Server" name="AdminServer" property="adminserver"/>
bq. <create type="JDBCConnectionPool" name="MediumSecureOnlineNode1Pool" property="customPool1">
bq. bq. <set attribute="CapacityIncrement" value="1"/> \\ <set attribute="DriverName" value="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"/> \\ <set attribute="InitialCapacity" value="1"/> \\ <set attribute="MaxCapacity" value="10"/> \\ <set attribute="Password" value="pass"/> \\ <set attribute="Properties" value="user=username"/> \\ <set attribute="RefreshMinutes" value="0"/> \\ <set attribute="ShrinkPeriodMinutes" value="15"/> \\ <set attribute="ShrinkingEnabled" value="true"/> \\ <set attribute="TestConnectionsOnCreate" value="true"/> \\ <set attribute="TestConnectionsOnRelease" value="true"/> \\ <set attribute="TestConnectionsOnReserve" value="true"/> \\ <set attribute="TestTableName" value="SQL SELECT 1 FROM DUAL"/> \\ <set attribute="URL" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521"/> \\ <set attribute="Targets" value="${adminserver}"/>
</create>
As we would like to automate the process of configuring our weblogic instances using ANT, is there a way to create JDBC datasources that don't have the LegacyType 1 element included in the config ?

Curious if you were ever able to find a resolution to this issue?
I am facing the same thing now with our Ant scripts and WL10.3 connection pools/datasources.
I would like to either specify a different LegacyType or suppress it altogether. Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Steve

Creating a s:list via AS3 doesn't show the data?

If I do something like this below the list shows up on the screen but the items in the dataprovider don't show up. If I throw the List in via MXML tags it shows up fine. Any suggestions? And yes, I know the data is there as it works when using an MXML version of the list.
                var thirdList:List = new List();
                thirdList.dataProvider = someDataProvider;
                thirdList.useVirtualLayout = true;
                third.addElement(thirdList);
TIA

No it isn't empty. I think States are broken. If I do the following:
<s:HGroup id="listHolder" width="100%" height="100%">
        <s:List id="initialList"
                 width="150" height="100" maxHeight="100"
                 change="onInitialListSelection(event)" />
        <s:List id="secondList"
                 visible.showSecondListState="true"
                 visible="false" width="0" width.default="0" width.showSecondListState="150"
                 height="100" maxHeight="100" width.showThirdListState="150"
                 change="onSecondListSelection(event)" />
        <s:List id="thirdList"
                excludeFrom="default" "
                dataProvider="{someHardCodedDataIthatIsNeverEmpty}"
                change="onSecondListSelection(event)" />
    </s:HGroup>
When the thirdList is shown, meaning the state is not in default, the space where thirdList should show up expands like the s:List is there, but it visually isn't shown.

HT1766 iPad touch screen stopped working. Can't scroll or select any apps. Can't reboot. Connect to PC via iTunes doesn't recognize the iPad.

The iPad touch screen suddenly stopped working. It's been fine, but stopped all of a sudden. Couldn't reboot since pressing the hibernate button also asked for a "swipe" but couldn't swipe since the screen isn;t sensing any touching. can't scroll main screen appas. Can't connect to iTunes, says not connected. Next stop Apple store unless someone has an idea.

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Finished script: Use grep find/change to fill in a supplied table of contents

This script is now complete, and has been the subject of most of my previous posts. Just in case anyone wanted to know what the finished script ended as, here it is.
Thanks so much to all. A lot of really helpful folks on this board are very responsible for the success of this task. This script is to be one of hopefully many in the creation of our records. But it's a huge leap forward. Thanks again to everyone that helped.

Task:
Automatically find town names in listings, and fill in table of contents template on page 2 accordingly.
Example of page 2 toc, initially:
Example of a page of content. The town names are what need to be referenced on the TOC:
Example of page 2 toc once script is finished:
Because of the need to include the transaction dates on the TOC (comes as a provided, tagged-text file), a simple Indesign-generated TOC can't be used alone.
This script uses an Indesign-generated TOC that's on a master page called "T-tocGen" ... It then uses grep search and replaces to grab the needed information, and insert it into the page 2 TOC.
The script will update a generated TOC and then search for an instance of a page number, and town name. The generated toc lists all included towns in the following format:
(line start)## tab townName(line end)
In Grep, this would be (please note, extra \ for \d and \t ... javascript needs that for some reason):
^\\d+\\t(.*)$
After the script gets the info it needs from a found instance of the above, it replaces that line with "---", to prevent that line from being picked up once again.
The script with then place the needed page number in it's rightful place on page 2, replacing the XX.
A while loop is used to repeat the above process until there are no longer any instances of "^\\d+\\t(.*)$" present.
Not every town runs every issue, so once the script is done, it removes all remaining instance of "XX" on the page 2 TOC.

Thanks for the reply.
You are correct but the problem is there are three rows, One row is 100% black, the second is 60% black and the third is 40% black. I want to change the black to blue, the 60% black to an orange and the 40% black to a light shaded blue. In the find/change option you can select the tint you want to find and replace but yea.. does work on table cells.. oddly enough.

How to reverse find through powershell script in contents of the file

Hello All,
Following script is to perform the find and replace in the files:

Reference saved query in Find/change script?

I want to use the find change script included with InDesign but I want to reference my saved queries. The reference for this script doesn't explain how to do this but this seems like the best way to run several queries in a row.
The Find Change script refrences a text document that tells it what to find and change.
Thanks
Jesse

From the Help (with quite a lot of searching):
b Application
void loadFindChangeQuery (queryName: string, searchMode: SearchModes)
Loads the specified find/change query.
queryName string The query to load.
searchMode SearchModes: TEXT_SEARCH
GREP_SEARCH
GLYPH_SEARCH
OBJECT_SEARCH
I sort of gathered it should be under Application, and so it was. And in hindsight, with a logical name as well! Didn't even know ID could do this.
The ESTK2 does not supply code snippets, but I'm sure you can work it out from this :-)
