Can I suppress dialog outside script?

I have a start up script that is used in cross-plattform production. It fixes the links of pictures. Works fine but the user still gets the warning message before the script does its work. If the document is opened by script I can suppress the dialog but I did not find a way for the regular InDesign Open action.
Is it possible by script?
(I think it was the case in the old days that setting userinteraction level to neverinteract would get rid of all dialogs but this seems to be no longer the case.)
Any idea?
Thank you,
Ralf

Okay, sometimes it is a good idea to simply ask a non-scripting guy. One can just turn off the dialog in the InDesign preferences.
I am sure you all knew that.

How to prompt user to select multiple files in file dialog using scripts

Hi, is there a way to allow user to select multiple files inside the file dialog using scripts? So not just something like "*.ai" or "*.eps" but where the user can actually use their shift key to select a batch of files inside the file dialog and then the script would process each one.
Thanks!

// Main Code [Execution of script begins here]
here's what I have so far. it would also be nice to not have illustrator stop at errors.. right now, it skips dialogs but on errors, it still stops.
// uncomment to suppress Illustrator warning dialogs
app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
var destFolder, sourceFolder, files, fileType, sourceDoc, targetFile, pdfSaveOpts, folderName;

// Select the source folder.
sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Select the folder with Illustrator .ai files you want to convert to PDF');
f = find_files(sourceFolder);

    return find_files_sub (dir, []);
function find_files_sub (dir, array)
    var f = Folder (dir).getFiles ("*.*");
    for (var i = 0; i < f.length; i++)

Open "Attach file" dialog by scripting

Hi,
Is it posible to open the "Attach file dialog" by scripting?
Thanks in advance, Oliver

Hello,
It is possible by using Acrobat scripting API.
You can do it by the following code:
event.target.importDataObject("name");

Can any1 provide me the script file which will genrate the X-axis label and Y-axis label ?

I have two channels and I want to create a report with 2D axis system. I do not want to drag and drop those two channels into 2D axis system. Can any1 provide me the script by which I can automate the script in such a manner that while running the script only I will get label of X-axis and Y-axis.
I tried with enabling the script but it was not able to generate X-axis label (Ex.-Time) and Y-axis label (Ex. - Speed)?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Etn,
The best way to create a script which manipulates an existing layout via script is using the Ctrl-A function within the parameterization dialogs.
The following example creates a 2D axis system with one curve and sets the axis labelling explicitly:
Call PicLoad("Template")                    'New layout
Call GraphObjNew("2D-Axis","New_2DAxis1")   'Creates a new 2D axis system
Call GraphObjOpen("New_2DAxis1")            'Opens the axis object
D2AxisBackColor ="grey"                  'Sets the background color
D2AxisTop        =10                      'Sets the position
D2AxisBottom     =10
D2AxisLeft       =10
D2AxisRight      =10
Call GraphObjNew("2D-Curve","New_Curve") 'Creates a new curve
Call GraphObjOpen("New_Curve")            'Opens the curve object
    D2CChnXName      =ChnNameExt(1)         'Defines the x-channel
    D2CChnYName      =ChnNameExt(2)         'Defines the y-channel
    D2CurveColor     ="red"                 'Defines the curve color
Call GraphObjClose("New_Curve")           'Closes the curve object
Call GraphObjOpen("2DXAxis1_1")
    D2AxisXTxt       = "@@ChnName(CurrChnNo)@@ [@@ChnDim(CurrChnNo)@@] (My Speed)" ' Defines the x-label
Call GraphObjClose("2DXAxis1_1")
Call GraphObjOpen("2DYAxis1_1")
    D2AxisYTxt       = "@@ChnName(CurrChnNo)@@ [@@ChnDim(CurrChnNo)@@] (My Time)" ' Defines the y-label
Call GraphObjClose("2DYAxis1_1")
Call GraphObjClose("New_2DAxis1")           'Closes the axis object
Call PicUpdate()                            'Updates the report

Batch settings: Suppress dialogs

I would like to batch a complete folder in Illustrator with an action.
The only problem I am facing is that Illustrator doesn't have the option to supress dialogs, and therefore I have to click manually for each file to OPEN and SAVE.
In Photoshop I don't have this problem, because there you can select the following options:
- Suppress File Open Options Dialog
- Suppress Color Profile Warnings
My Question is: How can I suppress those dialogs in Illustrator?
If that's not possible: How can I batch a complete folder without having to remove every dialog for each file?

Has anyone experienced this problem?

How can i suppress columns in ALV ?? Will reward points.

Hello Gurus, how can i suppress column in ALV when i`m using the transparent table:
CALL METHOD grid->set_table_for_first_display
      EXPORTING
        i_structure_name = 'ZIANEXE'
        is_layout        = wa_layout
        is_variant       = wa_variant
        i_save           = 'U'

      CHANGING
        it_outtab        = itab[]
        it_fieldcatalog = fieldcat.
Please help.

in the fieldcatalog you are providing there is a field NO_OUT use this.
Loop over internal table and check fieldname. If fieldname = column you want to hide, NO_OUT = 'X'.

How can I opearate indicator outside while loop?

I do small program, I have many while loops and I want to connect wire (in my application) from each loop to AND gate then to another while loop, but how can I operate these wires to agree with the change of my application inside while loops.
If not clear :
In another words, suppose I want to operate indicator ouside the while loop. How can I operate indicator outside while loop, so when my application become TRUE (inside while loop) the indicator will be ON (outside while loop) and when my application become FALSE(inside while loop) the indicator will be OFF (outside while loop).
Help me if you have any idea please..........................

Hi Rammo,
For the wire to carry the boolean condition from the while loop to an 'and' gate outside, the while loop must stop running
If you want the while loop to keep on running and still pass a boolean value to a destination outside the while loop, use any one of these: property nodes, global or local variables.
i am still not clear as to what you intend to say by this sentence
" I want the wire that comes out from the while loop will become TRUE if it in my application is TRUE inside while loop and the opposite is true. Because I want to connect the wire that comes out from while loop to AND gate than to another application"
plz tell me if the first part of this mail of mine answers your doubt or do you need more information?
regards
Dev

Can you view text outside of the canvas? as with the view menu you can see animation paths, bounding boxes and handles??? many thanks

re: Motion 5
can you view text outside of the canvas? as when using the view menu you can see animation paths, bounding boxes and handles???
I'm in the middle of a text animation design treatment and unless my memory is completely failing I thought this was an option.
An example would be selecting all layers and being able to see all bounding boxes and animation paths while moving along the timeline.
Of course this could be quite a mess if you couldn't selectively chose which layers, its just with this current project it would be so helpful if
I could see the text beyond the canvas to aid in my animations.
many thanks,
robert

thanks for both of your responses
I do understand shift + v " to "Show Full View Area" and shift + z to fill screen, etc.
and command + & - for zooming
what I'd like to do is selectively view, say, the text outside of the canvas as you can see the bounding box
which contains the text or object when selecting one or all layers in the layers column
I haven't used this feature in a while though I do recall using it in the past.
Any help would greatly appreciated

How can I run a SQL script file...

How can I run a SQL script file from a location on my computer without providing the whole path?
Is there some way I can set a "Working folder" in SQL Plus??
Thanks!
Tom

You can create an environment variable called "SQLPATH" which is a list of directories that SQL*Plus will search for your .SQL
scripts.
I would like to use another directory than the oracle/bin...
How can I do this ??
Hello,
U can do this by this way:
Save odm_script.sql file to the default Oracle
directory i.e. Oracle-Home/bin and Run following command
through SQL Plus.
SQL>@Script_Name
I hope this will resolve ur problem.

Can we suppress execution of a query so as to optionally execute queries in data modl

Can we suppress execution of a query so that we optionally execute queries?0
I have a combo box in Parameter Form. It has 3 options. I have 3 queries in Data Model.
I want to execute only one of these 3 queries based on user's selection from combo box.
I want that other 2 queries do NOT execute at all for that processing cycle. Next time user selects other option and an other query is executed and other 2 are NOT executed and so on.
Is it possible in Reports 6i in Client/server?
Pl. guide.
Tariq

Include:
AND :parameter = <this query's value> (e.g. 1 or "SALES" or whatever)
in each query's where clause. Because this is 2 constants (as far as the SQL interpreter is concerned) it will evaluate it first. If the parameter is set to a value not for this query then it will return no rows with minimal overhead.
