Creating a custom panel for Snapping....??

I'm trying to create a custom panel in Flash CS3 that will
allow me to turn snapping on and off (i.e. 'Snap Align', 'Snap to
Grid', 'Snap to Guides', etc.) by just checking or unchecking some
checkboxes, but I can't find any JSFL code that will change the
snapping options. When I try changing the snapping in a document,
it doesn't list it in the history panel. Is there any way to do
this? PLEASE! Someone help me!

Thanks for the link, but it is broken for me. I think I see where you are sending me. Only one
problem....I am an artist...not a programmer. So I guess what I am asking for is a development tool that would be easy for this type of thing. Beyond the kid friendly interface it would be nice to be able to skin your art specific interface that you make. I mean really all it is is making fancy icons in photoshop and attaching PS actions or commands to the icons. Looks like the tools that are out there already will do this for me, they are just ugly right now. If we could skin these then it would be a little more appealing for the target audience that you are making the UI for.
Thansk again for the help!

How to create a custom panel in the right way (without having an empty panel in the file info) ?

Hi Everyone
My name is Daté.
I'm working in the fashion industry as a designer and Design consultant to help fashion brands improving the design workflow by using Adobe softwares and especially Illustrator.
I'm not a developper, but i'm very interested about the possibility to introduce xmp technology to provide more DAM workflows in the fashion industry.
Fashion designers produce a lot of graphical objects in illustrator or Photoshop. Unfortunately they are faced to a big challenge which is about how to manage, search, classify and get this files faster. Of course PDM system or PLM system are used in the Fashion industry to manage data, but for many companies, implemanting this kind of database is very complex.
When i look at what you can do with xmp, it seems to be an interesting way of managing design files, then i started to follow Adobe instruction to try to build a custom panel.
The main idea is to (Theory) :
create custom panels used by fashion designers to classify their design files.
Use Adobe Bridge to search files, create smart collection to make basic reports in pdf and slideshows
Find someone to make a script able to export metadata in xml files
Use indesign and the xml file to generate automatically catalogues or technical sheets based on xmp values
I have created a custom panel by using the generic panel provided by Adobe and i have modified the fields to feet with the terms used in the fashion industry and it works well.
But unfortunately, when i try to create my own custom panel from scratch with Flashbuilder (4.6) and the Adobe CSExtensionBuilder_2 (Trial version), it doesn't work!
Here is the process :
I have installed flashbuilder 4.6
I have download the XMP Fileinfo SDK 5.1 and placed the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4_1.1.0.jar in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
In Flashbuilder, i have created a new project and select xmp Custom panel
The new project is created in flashbuilder with a field with A BASIC Description Field
To generate the panel, right click the project folder and select xmp / Publish Custom Panel
The panel is automatically generated in the following folder : C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels
Go to illustrator, Open the file Info
The panel appears empty
The others panel are also empty
The panel is created and automatically placed in the right folder, but when you open it in Illustrator by selecting the File Info option in the File Menu, this custom panel appears empty!!! (only the title of the tab is displayed). This panel also prevent the other panels to be displayed.
When you delete this custom panels from the folder C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels and go back to the File Info, the other panels display their content properly.
I also try to use the plugin XMP Namespace designer to create my own namespace. this plugin is also able to generate a custom panel, but this one also appears empty in AI or Photoshop.
I try to follow the process described in Adobe xmp documentation many times, but it didn't works.
It seems that many peaople have this issue, but i dodn't find a solution in the forum.
I try to create a trust file (cfg), but it didn't work.
It would be so kind if you can help me to understand why i can't create a custom panel normally and how to do it in the right way.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Best regards,
Daté

Hi Sunil,
After many trial, i realize the problem was not coming from the trust file, but from the way i have created the custom panel.
There is 2 different ways, the first described below is not working whereas the second is fine :
METHOD 1 :
I have downloaded the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6
In the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6 folder, i copied the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4x_1.2.0.jar plugin from the Tools folder and i pasted it in the plugind folder of Flashbuilder 4.6
The plugin install an XMP project
In Flashbuilder 4.6 i have created a new project (File / New /Project /XMP/XMP Custom Panel)
A new xmp project is created in flashbuilder.
You can publish this project by right clicking the root folder and selecting XMP / Publish Custom Panel
The custom file info panel is automatically published in the right location which is on Mac : /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0 or /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0
Despite the publication of the custom file info panel and the creation of a trust file in the following location : "/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust", the panel is blank in Illustrator.
I try this way several times, with no good results.
METHOD 2 :
I have installed Adobe CSExtensionBuilder 2.1 in Flash Builder
In FlashBuilder i have created a new project (File / New /Project /Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder/XMP Fileinfo Panel Project)
As the system display a warning about the version of the sdk to use to create correctly a custom file info, I changed the sdk to sdk3.5A
The warning message is : "XMP FileInfo Panel Projects must be built with Flex 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 SDK. Building with Flex 4.6.0 SDK may result in runtime errors"
When i publish this File info panel project (right click the root folder and select Run as / Adobe illustrator), the panel is published correctly.
The last step is to create the trust file to display the fields in the panel and everything is working fine in Illustrator.
The second method seems to be the right way.
For sure something is missing in the first method, and i don't understand the difference between the XMP Custom Panel Project and the XMP Fileinfo Panel Project. Maybe you can explain it to me.
So what is the best solution ? the right sdk to use acording to the creative suite (the system asks to use 3.3 or 3.5 sdk for custom panels, so why ?)
I'm agree with Pedro, a step by step tutorial about this will help a lot of peaople, because it's not so easy to understand!!!
Sunil, as you belong to the staff team, can you tell me if there is :
A plugin or a software capable to extract the XMP from llustrator files to generate XML workflows in Indesign to create catalogues
A plugin to allow indesign to get custom XMP in live caption
A plugin to allow Bridge to get custom XMP in the Outputmode to make pdf or web galeries from a smart collection
How can you print the XMP data with the thumbnail of the file ?
Thanks a lot for your reply.

Custom panels for File Info.

Hi, everydoby.
This is my first post to this group and I wanted to say hello to everybody. Hello !!!
While doing some reading on Adobe's site I came across an application named Configurator 1.0. This application allows users to develop custom panels for Photoshop and it seems to design custom menus for the interface. I am interested in finding out if it can be used to design custom File Info panels for Photoshop. In case it can't is there another application that can do it and has a GUI that makes it easy to use and simple for someone with little programming experience ?
Thank you,
Joe

Hello, Michael.
I think you are right.
I've looked at the Adobe's website for information on how to build these panels and it seems far more complicated then it should be. Unfortunately Adobe doesn't seem to get that most users are NOT programmers. The information is complex and extensive, far more than it should be for someone who just wants to add a little amount of customization to his/her applications.
My idea was to find a simple GUI application that would allow the average user (myself) to create custom panels for the File Info menu option but one such application doesn't seem to be available. The options are to either immerse myself in the time-consuming, technically-demanding documentation available in the company's website or give up the project entirely.
Thanks again for your help.

How to create a custom measure for each level of a dimension

Hi all!
Can Anyone please explain me with an example, how to create a custom measure for each level for a dimension? I dont mine if you use
one or more measures.
thanks in advance
hope someone helps me.

For example:I create a dimension for product_dim witch has 4 levels:total, class, family and item:
d_aben18
n1_aben18
n2_aben18
n3_aben18
n4_aben18
herarchy:h_aben18
cube:cubo_aben18
measure:med_aben18
I create this code to fetch the data to the dimension:
TRAP ON CLEANUP
SQL DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR SELECT-
total_product_id,1,'N1_ABEN18',total_product_dsc,-
class_id,1,'N2_ABEN18',total_product_id,class_dsc,-
family_id,1,'N3_ABEN18', class_id, family_dsc,-
item_id,1,'N4_ABEN18',family_id,item_dsc-
FROM PRODUCT_DIM
"OPEN THE CURSOR
SQL OPEN c1
"FETCH THE DATA
SQL FETCH c1 LOOP INTO-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N1_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N2_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N3_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N4_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
"SAVE THE CHANGES
UPDATE
COMMIT
CLEANUP:
SQL CLOSE c1
SHOW 'KK2'
Then I create a cube with use compression off, and in rules sum for example.
After, I create a measure and I select Override the aggregation specification for the cube, in rules I put nonadditive and I would like to create aprogram to assign distinct values to each level of the dimension. For example, I put 1, 2 3, and 4 values, but at the end I would like to put count(distinct(values)).
for that I create another program:
VRB D_RETURN DECIMAL
if D_ABEN18_N1_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N1_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 1
if D_ABEN18_N2_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N2_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 2
if D_ABEN18_N3_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N3_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 3
if D_ABEN18_N4_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N4_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 4
else d_return=26
return d_return
"SHOW D_RETURN
cubo_aben18_med_aben18_stored=d_return
but it doesnt work.I dont know how to put to assign or to see what I want.
I report the measure, or I report the program, but then how can I see the values of the measure?
thanks in advance

How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)

March 10, 2014
How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)
The numbers in the RGB and other fields change as various numbers are changed.
I wanted to create a pale orange:
Hue               13      Red      255
Saturation   240      Green 177
Luminosity    86       Blue     140
I'd selected one of the orange squares in the color grid, to display the general orange area of the slider.
I moved the slider to select a pale orange, which generated the above numbers.   Since this wasn't directly available to save to a Custom Color, I tried to edit the numbers. Unfortunately, the other numbers changed, making it impossible to actually create a color.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Note: I used Techsmith's Snagit to show screen shots in a Word document.
When I attempted to browse and upload the file, the error message said "[The content type of this image is not allowed.]"
OK...what images *are* allowed?

Hi Don,
I saw Gilad answered your question in another forum post.
Do you have everything you need at this point?
Let me know if you need further assistance.

Some comments on Adobe 'Custom Panels for XMP File Info' document

In developing a couple of Photoshop/Bridge custom metadata panels for cataloguing my photo collection, I noticed one or two things that look like possible errors in the above document. These comments relate to the version of the document dated April 2005.
P10, description of 'cat_container_edit_text' widget type: surely this should also list custom variable 'container_type', which is needed to specify whether the metadata array is a bag, seq or whatever.
P25, details of 'cat_container_edit_text': same comment applies.
P8 et seq: the requirements for use of the 'name' variable appear contradictory. The summary descriptions of various widgets such as 'edit_text' contain the statement that 'You must provide name, xmp_namespace and xmp_path values for this widget to supply a dynamic
value', but the description of 'name' on P16 says that it 'Applies only to fixed-text widgets. Do not use this variable to change the value or text of the widget at run time.'

Joe, here is the Adobe link that I could not find yesterday when I put up the link to the (suspect) archive site:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xmp/sdk/topic_cust_file_info_panels.html
I have not looked into these panels for years and I am not sure what has changed in CS4.
Yes, the free software mentioned previously was limited in the amount of fields, however correct me if I am wrong - the output was just XMP text data and one could simply open it in a text editor and copy/paste/edit extra fields and resave, as the limitation was with the GUI frontend and not with XMP.
Obviously the computer reading the file needs the custom info panel installed to see the panel in it's full glory, otherwise the metadata is "hidden" away in one of the other metadata listings (I can't remember where). I also had problems picking up the custom metadata when searching via catalogue applications that could read other common metadata such as IPTC.
It was a bit of a mixed bag if I recall, showing promise however it was not really ready for the average user to use.
Anyway, it sounds as if my very limited knowlege on this area is being exhausted...
While on the topic, some other links that may help:

Possible to create a custom renderer for rendering standard component ?

This is in context for creating dynamic Data tables. Is it possible to create a custom Renderer for rendering component (standard) without creating a custom component?
namanc

Let's assume you want to create a custom renderer which will be used to render the error-messages (the h:messages tag). The component-family in this case is: javax.faces.Messages, the renderer-type javax.faces.Messages.
Therefor in your application's faces-config.xml add this renderer-statement (inside a render-kit, obviuosly):
<faces-config>

<render-kit>
    <renderer>
      <component-family>javax.faces.Messages</component-family>
      <renderer-type>javax.faces.Messages</renderer-type>
      <renderer-class>my.very.special.MessagesRenderer</renderer-class>
    </renderer>
</render-kit>

</faces-config>The code for MessagesRenderer is very dependent on your needs, therefor I will not post something here. Basically you need to extend javax.faces.render.Renderer. For help in that camp, surf to the online tutorials or get yourself a book (I learned a lot from Kito Mann's "JSF in Action"). Additionally grab the source for Sun's RI AND Myfaces and dig into that java-code. There is a huge learning potential looking at that source-material.

Create 1 customer master for some small customer

Hi All,
Our company have some small customer, sometime they buy our goods (may be they buy only one time). So we want create 1 customer master for them. Can we do it?

Dear ngocvt,
Transaction Code: V-07 - Create a one-time customer. (Account Group - CPDA)
One time customer / vendor accounts in SAP means they are account groups for customer/vendor and where in only the general data of the customer / vendor are stored instead of maintaining the bank data and other company code data that are relevant for other account groups which are useful for long run purposes.
As you know everything that is entered in SAP is saved in some TABLE. Now the customer & vendor master is such a table which holds vast amount of data.
The business secenario where the vendor or customer which are being in system only for 1 transaction, it is not advisable to have all the data maintained in main master.
Therefore SAP has provided with the feature of One time vendor / customer wherein in the document entry stage only you have to enter the name, address and other details of the vendor/customer.
The data, as far as I know' remains at doc level and does'nt go to the master tables.
If you want to change the standard functionality then go to
Transaction OBD2, u will find CPDA, that is standard one one time customer account group.
Copy it and make necessary changes.
Hope this Helps.
Thanks

Using Apache Commons HTTPClient to create a custom socket for Java mail

Does anyone know how to use Apache Commons HTTPClient to create a custom socket for Java mail. This is necessary for me to use NTLM authentication

JavaMail doesn't use HTTP.
If you want to add support for NTLM authentication to one of the standard protocols,
your best bet is to create a SASL provider, although note that only JavaMail's IMAP
provider uses SASL currently. The other protocols should add SASL support, but that
hasn't been done yet.

Creating a custom scale for current

Hi guys,
I need some help with creating a custom scale. I am reading motor current (analog I/P) and would like to display that on a graph and write it to a file. I need to use a linear scaling for custom scale. The slope is 2 and the intercept is 0. I've attache the code to make it clear what I am trying to acomplish. The way I've set it up right now is no scaling. There are 2 tasks in the code. I would like to create a custom scaling for the first task as seen in the attached code. I have done custom scaling using DAQ Assistant Express VI. But I dont see such options when I try to do the same with the DAQmx task. Please let me know how this can be done. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You both had me going nuts trying to figure how to get to that property. Basically just right click the DAQmx property node and "Select filter..." . This brings up the "Configure Filter Settings" where I chose 'show all attributes'. I could then get to the AI Custom Scale Name property.
Interestingly when you use the Property Browser and select the magnifying glass you can get to that property...but you just can't select it if you have the filter set incorrectly. Lesson Learned.
I also found this community example and that one.

Creating a Custom Task for an external application

Hi
I want to create a custom task for our records management system, that just opens a particular file people use from within Incident Management every day.
The file is of extension .tr5 (which is our records management tool). I can open the file on my desktop. When I create the custom task, using the same file - I get a message ' The specified executable is not a valid Win32 application'
I can open the application fine using the custom task, but not the file.
Could it because there is no relationship from SCSM to the file type?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Are you using the executable exe file and the filename as a parameter in the custom task?
