Close WIndow Behavior ? CS3

Does anyone know how to set the Close Window behavior of a
window that has been opened with the Open Browser Window behavior?
I've created a rollover icon which I want to use for the Close
WIndow behavior, but I don't see this option in the Behavior
options. Am I approaching this in the wrong way? Any suggestions to
put me in the right direction would be helpful.

> Am I approaching this in the wrong way?
Yes. Just let people click on the "X".

Image Processor script won't close windows

I'm testing a client's favorite method for converting folders of, say, 1000 images from RAW to large JPEG. He now uses Photoshop in CS3: He opens File Menu > Scripts > Image Processor, designates a huge folder of RAW files, sets the right parameters, and saves to a different folder. Works perfectly (but slowly) on a Mac G5.
Now I am testing it on a Mac Pro in PS-CS4, the setup he wants to buy, using exactly the same parameters. Trouble is, the window that opens on each document isn't closed, and so they accumulate! Doesn't matter whether Tabs is enabled or not. Starts eating up scratch space and has the potential to open 1000 tabs or windows. Something is wrong.
Same operation works perfectly in PS-CS3 on this Mac Pro.
If the Close Window is missing from this repeating script, then it should be added back -- or a checkbox should be added: "Close each window." I haven't been able to create an Action that will close each window without confusing the Save/Save As mechanism in the script.
How can I report this apparent bug? Or can someone please tell me what I'm missing.
(I know there are other ways to accomplish this task. But this one should work!)

From Kathy: "I still can not find out your issues here. You may try report this to adobe through this link.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform"
Thank you, Kathy! This was the tip I needed. I thought that Adobe may, indeed, be monitoring this forum. Many manufacturers monitor and post in their own forums, e.g. Apple.
"Also one simple workaround for you, could be create a close action and run this action in Image Processor."
I really did try this. Trouble is, you run into unresolvable interactions with a Save As dialog. I.e. the Close Action seems to interfere with the saving of the converted JPEG. At least I couldn't get it to work -- but it should not be necessary.
There are workarounds, such as selecting multiple items in Bridge, opening them all into ACR, and then selecting them all and clicking Save File. Doesn't open any windows at all! But the bug still needs to be reported.
From Ramon: "Before your frustration causes you to become overly argumentative, you may want to consider that your interlocutor may actually know a bit more than you seem to think she does. Kathy may even be part of the Adobe team, for all you know."
You are reading way too much into what I said. Argumentative? I meant what I said literally. The behavior of the Image Processor script should not have any dependencies, and the documentation (such as it is) indicates none whatever. Further, the script, when run identically in CS3, runs perfectly.

Javascript Open and Close window

I am creating a new website and am having problems getting
the open window and close window to work. I want this window to
open a new window (NOT a popup window used with the "onload"
option). I am using an img tag so that when you click on the image
thumbnail this new window opens. It is my understanding in order to
use the window.close option, you must have the javascript in the
header of the html document for the close to work. In the heading
of the document that contains the link to open a new window I have
the following:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.2">
function popuponclick()
Cellex = window.open("products/cellex.htm",
"console","status=1,width=350,height=150");
function closepopup()
if(false == cellex.closed)
cellex.close ();
else
alert('Window already closed!');
</SCRIPT>
Then I have this in the body:
<img src="images/thumbnails/dermalogicath.jpg"
alt="Dermalogica" width="94" height="84" border="0"
/></a></td>
<td><a href="products/mdskin.htm"
onclick="window.open('products/mdskin.htm','mdskin',width=610,height=780,scrollbars=yes') ;return
false; target="_blank">
However, I'm getting script errors when opening the window on
the lines in the body Unterminated error. I have tried using the
help in Dreamweaver as well as many docs posted, but still cannot
get this to work. Once I get the script errors resolved, the when
the window opens, it will not close. I get the message that a
window is trying to be closed and do I want to close the window
which closes internet explorer entirely. I'm using IE 7.0 as well
as foxfire and have the same issue on both. If I use the
dreamweaver behaviors to call a javascript, it puts "onload" and if
I change to "onclick" then the script will not work. When I use the
behavior "open window" it still doesn't work. I'm totally lost as
to what I'm doing wrong as I have followed about 10 papers all
using the same instructions.
Hopefully some one can help me, I'm getting fustrated as this
seems to be pretty straight forward.
Thanks, vienie

Try this on for size:
I have included two functions.
windowRebuild() - opens a new window, maximizes it based on the screen size, removes all toolbars, and then closes the old window.
myLocation(appName, pageName) - builds a url referencing an HTMLDB application, specfic to what server you are currently on. Very useful when you have an application on 3 different servers(dev, test, prod servers), you wouldn't want the server name hardcoded if you plan to export the app to another server.
Also, you need to be careful when using &APP_ID. I am not completely certain how that is resolved at runtime, but I've found it only works when the javascript is in the HTML Header of a page and not stored in the template of the page.
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
This functions is for internal application use.
Examples of myLocation:
url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'APP_PUBLIC_PAGE');
url = myLocation('MY_APP_ALIAS', 'MY_PAGE_ALIAS');
url = myLocation('184', '10');
function myLocation(myApp, myPage){
var myHost = location.host;
var newURL;
newURL = 'http://'+myHost+'/pls/htmldb/f?p='+myApp.toString()+':'+myPage.toString();
return newURL;
/* Function windowRebuild()
*   This function will open a new window and close the old window.
*   This function will also maximize the new window and remove all toolbars.
function windowRebuild(){
   if(window.name != 'myAppWin'){
    var url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'PAGE_ALIAS');
    var myWin = window.open(url,'myAppWin','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,status=1,resizable=1,location=0');
    window.opener = 'x';
    window.close();
   if(window.name == 'myAppWin'){
    window.moveTo(0,0);
    window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
</script>Let me know if that works or you need some more explanation.

Strange window behavior with CS5

I have begun experiencing strange behavior with PS CS5. I should begun with the machine configuration: 2.66GHz iMac (8,1) Intel Core Duo with 4GB RAM and OSX 10.6.6, Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card. The initial symptom showed up suddenly as an inability to display an image window; that is, I could open PS normally, everything would show up properly, but when I opened an image file of any sort, there would be no image window. Other cues indicated that the file was open; for example, the window menu would show it selected, and the layers palette would show the file's layers.
It did not seem to matter what type of file was involved: PSD, JPG, TIF, whatever. Occasionally, this behavior would begin during a session. Sometimes it would happen right off the bat. Sometimes, stopping and restarting PS seemed to clean things up; other times, this had no effect. After messing around quite a bit with different permutations and combinations, all I could say was that the problem was random.
I might add that I've had PS CS5 on this machine pretty much since it was announced, and had not had problems with it before. So this issue came along quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago. This was a little after I'd installed an update for Nik's Viveza 2; and I began to suspect that. Although why Viveza should do such a strange thing was odd, and Viveza was never part of the files I was experiencing issues with. Anyway, I went back to an earlier version of Viveza and the problem persisted.
Since I run Time Machine, I also went back to versions of the entire PS folder from a month back, and found the same problem. Along the way, I experimented with the files I was using with PS CS4 & CS3, which I also have installed on this machine. These two versions of PS run perfectly well. At least the CS4 version has precisely the same plugins as the CS5 folder, and this seems to discount the potential problem with plugins.
To be sure about CS5, I completely deactivated, deinstalled, and reinstalled it. The same issues occurred. Now, I have to admit that I let PS run its update process so that I brought it back to the most recent version in this step of my troubleshooting. So, I can't be certain that the issue isn't with some update of CS5.
I might add that I have been running CS5 in 32-bit mode, for compatibility with certain plugins. This may or may not be an issue, since I have limited experience with running in 64-bit mode. At this point, I should add a bit more about the confusing behavior.
While messing around with CS5, I also suspected the GPU support, since my problem had to do with windows. When the problem presents itself, the usual cycle through window views that you get by pressing the "F" key seems to get messed up. In particular, the "F" key doesn't work at all. Next, if you use the View menu to select different views, the full screen with menu bar view will often have garbled pixels, while the full screen view will show a blank grey screen. Then, cycling back to a window view will show a window with blank grey contents. This is interesting since the starting point was no window at all; but going into full screen and then back will produce a window with bogus contents.
Now, the next strange thing, having to do with the GPU, is that CS5 often fails to recognize the Radeon HD 2600 card. Oddly enough, it did originally. And I had it running in Basic mode. However, CS4 does recognize the GPU; and I can set it in any variety of modes: Basic, Normal, and Advanced. This behavior is not consistent at all either; that is, while CS5 almost always now fails to detect the GPU, sometimes it does. As near as I can tell, this failure to detect the card does not depend upon whether I start CS5 in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. OTOH, CS4 always recognizes the GPU.
Another form of this odd behavior arises if I start CS5 cold, and then just open a new blank window. This almost always works. I get a blank white window, and I can paint on it with a brush, etc. However, if I go ahead at this point and open a file, then the new file takes over the window; and there are no tabs. If I select the original new file, usually labelled "Untitled", the window bar will show the change of filename but the window's contents and the layers palette will continue to show the old file that I had opened. Cycling through views can sometimes get back to the new Untitled file, but just selecting file windows never works.
Yet another aspect of this messed up window behavior is that the workspace bar, which shows the Bridge, MiniBridge and view icons on the upper left and the various workspace options and CS Live on the upper right, is present but blank. OTOH, the tool bar is always displayed correctly, as is the horizontal bar that shows the various tool options. Likewise, the palettes for the workspace such as layers, swatches, adjustments, and so on, are always correctly displayed on the left.
My next steps in trying to figure this out will be to ensure that I am running the latest of all plugins so that I can get everything running in 64-bit mode and try this again. However, the single factor that seems consistent in this whole mess is that whenever I do find this odd behavior, the performance preferences window will indicate that CS5 is not detecting the GPU. Whenever this happens, if I open up CS4 and check the same performance preference in it, the GPU is detected. I can have the two preference windows side by side on the screen in fact, CS4 sees the GPU and CS5 does not. The counter-indication is that sometimes CS5 will work properly and the preferences window still shows that the GPU has not been detected. Having said that, I can add that if I have opened up CS5, and it has found the GPU, and I have set it into, say, Basic mode, and then later found CS5 messing up, and I go back and check the performance preferences again, the GPU has always been lost. So, CS5 can mess up windows with or without the GPU detected and active; but when if it started with the GPU present, it will show up as lost after the weird behavior starts.
To add one more observation, I have had Macs and other computers with failing GPUs. This computer is showing none of the typical signs of that. Every other program seems to be working just fine, and I have a lot of these, many graphics intensive; e.g., Corel Painter 11, Parallels v6 running Windows 7, PS CS4, Lightroom v3, Aperture v3, and so on. It is just CS5 that is messing up.
I could load up this message with screen shots of all this nonsense, but I'm not sure what that would add to the strange tale, other than I'm not pulling your legs. I am, however, pulling out my own hair.
As I stated before, this began quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago, early Feb 2011. My best guess as to cause is some combination of incompatible updates between CS5, OSX, and maybe some plugin or other. I found unusual behavior with onOne's FocalPoint v2 last year after Apple updated GPU drivers in some OSX update, and cratered that program. It took onOne a month or two to fix that. I have CS5 on a laptop with the same OSX version, and on that I haven't seen these issues; but then, I haven't been using it as intensely over there. Also, that machine has different CPU and GPU models than this iMac.
So, to the community: is anybody else starting to see this odd stuff? Am I alone?

Here's the reason I say that the same plugins exist for both CS4 & CS5. Sometime last year, the internal hard drive on this computer died (as they so often do), and it was replaced under the Apple care warranty. As a consequence, I decided to rebuild the OS and applications from scratch and bring back my user files from backup. I among other things, I reinstalled all of CS4 as well as CS5 (and I had to put CS3 back too for reasons having to do with printing calibration images for Quad Tone RIP). Then, I went to reinstall the plugins that I needed. I use Nik Software, onOne, Portrait Professional and various Topaz plugins. To my recollection, most of these install in PS CS3, CS4, CS5, Aperture, and Lightroom. In short, it is not that I've copied or moved plugin folders from one application folder to another, just that the installers automatically detect the presence of the various applications and put the various plugins into each, as appropriate.
The only 32-bit plugins that I have that don't fit into this category are from Vincent Versace. He provides special versions of certain Nik plugins (Tonal Contrast, Contrast Only, etc) that function with some Acme Educational extensions for performing B&W conversion, sharpening, blah blah blah. These plugins are only 32-bit and the extensions are only CS5 compatible. I've installed these ones only into CS5; so, you've got me. OTOH, I've had these from Vincent as soon as CS5 was available; and they've worked so far without problems. Perhaps I should just edit the extensions so I could use the latest plugins direct from Nik instead of the Versace special editions...
I've checked fonts and repaired permissions. I am presently going through the rather tedious process of disabling plugins and extensions to see if anything yields consistent results. The rather random arrival of the strangeness makes ensuring that a change is really having an effect more difficult to validate, as you will appreciate.
I apologize for my long-winded original post. I add all of the detail so that anyone who'd experienced similar strange behaviors might properly pattern-match what they were seeing. On the one hand, in finding the cause of a problem, you look for what's changed; and theoretically nothing is new. On the other hand, there's always so much changing behind the scenes with automatic updates of this, that, and the other thing that it's impossible to make the claim that nothing's new.

Close window script not working in safari?

So I have a behavior from a DW extension that controls the
window to self_
close... and works fine in all browsers but Safari. Anyone
have a clue why
that might be? Here's the script:
<input type=button
onClick="tmt_winControl('self','close()')" value=" Close
" >

We would have to see your code to determine what is wrong.
Can you post a
link to the page in question? Your only giving us half of the
equation.
fyi.. Massimos Control Window does work in Safari to close
windows, so
there's something else wrong. Could be that you do not have
the supporting
function in the page.

KDE - Close window on task manager thumbnail middle click

So as the title says, I'd like to know if this possible. I can't seem to find the option anywhere and I don't mind dirty hacks like recompiling icon-only task manager or so. This really annoys me

Yes but that's also applies to clicking the icon on the bar. I want:
middleclick icon on the bar -> "start new instance"
middleclick thumbnails (previews) -> "close windows"
This is the default behavior on windows 7 superbar

Help: symbol shifting between mac and windows, flash cs3

I'm doing work reviewing flash files created by other users
on mac and windows. I'm using os x 10.5.6. When I open a file
created in windows / flash cs3 some symbols on the stage will have
shifted upwards on the y axis. If I correct the shift and then send
it back to the windows user they see the symbols incorrectly
aligned, as if I had moved symbols around on a correctly aligned
file.
The strange thing is not everything on the stage is shifted.
Only particular symbols will move, and it's usually symbols only
(not text frames, drawing objects, etc).
I believe there's a general history of bad behavior when
saving flash files and trading them back and forth between mac and
windows, but does anyone know what may be causing this? Or a
remedy?
Thank you in advance.
Peter

also, I tried opening the same files in vista using a mac
mini with vista installed on a bootcamp partition. When opening
other windows authored flash files there I had shifting issues as
well, so I'm not convinced it's strictly a mac vs. windows issue.
Unless it's a flash cs3 on windows xp doesn't like mac flash cs3
and vista flash cs3...

Minimize windows in CS3 Suite on WINDOWS 7

Has anyone else experienced this??? or know of a way to fix it?
When minimizing windows in Photoshop/Illy (the cs3 package) they go really small and display the X (close window sign) really big so when you want to Maximize you hit the close window button. Only very carefully can you click the outside edge to make it open up again. Very frustrating when working. See files attached.
I've looked in the preferences but i can't see anything.
Many thanks

That is a normal windows 7.
You can use Windows 7 in the basic mode if you don't like that. Or try the other options offered in Windows 7.

Where did Close Tab and Close Window under the File tab go? I end up with all these open windows or exiting altogether.

Under the File tab, I no longer see Close Tab or Close Window. Thus, I end up with a lot of open windows, because if I click File Exit, I'm logged out.

You need to create a file userChrome.css in the chrome folder in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and paste the above posted code in the file.<br />
You can use the ChromEdit Plus extension to make it easier to edit the file.
You can access the profile folder via this button:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
That code will cause all hidden menu entries to get visible all the time, so you can use the mouse to open the menus and do not need to use the keyboard.

Mail In Full Screen Closes Window after Sending

I love using mail in full screen.
When I send a new message or reply to a message the Mail window closes out of the full screen and closes the mail window. How do I get the window to stop closing after I send or reply?

I found out what is was. I had serial mail try to send about 200 emails. Something went wrong (not sure whether it is lion compatible) and there were a load of unsent emails somewhere in the background. Funny thing was they were not showing anywhere, just when I tried to close window, an unsent message popped up.
Anyway, force quit mail as I could not be bothered to find out how many mails had not been sent, and on reopening all back to normal

How do I add a close window button/image

All I want to do: Add a close window button (round/square with an "x" through it) to either one or many html files. I don't see how to do this.
Using RoboHelp 8 HTML and WinXP. Thanks.

Ahh I see now. You are asking where to obtain such an image!
The RoboHelp Gallery doesn't contain one. Sorry. You will need to obtain one from any number of other locations.
You might look at the following link for one possibility.
Icon Archive
Here are a couple from my own colloection. You might right-click and save as.
There are also a number of packages you may purchase or find. Perhaps the following link will help.
Click here to search Google
I cannot advise on the legal implications of using said images.

Acrobat reader install fails on vista - says close windows explorer

I'm trying to install the latest reader on a Windows Vista laptop but the installation fails with an error message "you must close windows explorer". In task manager there are no running applications but I can see explorer.exe in the list of processes. I think this is running the desktop/taskbar so I don't want to close it. Any ideas how to get round this?
TIA

This might work.
1) Open Adobe Reader
2) Go to Edit then Preferences
3) Under Categories on the left side click on Internet
4) Uncheck Display PDF in browser and click Ok.

How do i end a sub vi when the close window control is clicked?

Hi,
I have a sub vi that sits in a while loop until a 'Done' button is pressed but sometimes the user clicks on the close window control in the top left of the window (MacOS) instead.
After this has happened I would like control to return to the calling vi but it's as though the sub vi is still waiting for someone to click on the done button and the any user actions in the calling vi are ignored.
How do I wire the close window into my program so as clicking on either it or the Done button will end the sub vi and pass control back to the calling vi?
Thanks,
Dave.

The "event structure" can capture events for "this VI" that include "panel close". If you are using an event structure to look for the push of the Done button, just add another event that will catch the panel close as well (you can even configure the stucture to not pass on the close event). If you are not using the event structure to watch for the done button, perhaps you should. If you cannot use it in the same loop, you can put it in a parallel loop and use any of several signaling mechanisms to communicate between the loops.
