[CS4] Can a plug-in's custom export format be used in a JavaScript?

Hi Folks,
I'm not sure if this message should be here or in the AI Scripting forum, but I'll start here...
I have just written an AI CS4 Mac Plug-In that provides a custom file export format. What I would like to know is how (or even if it's possible) to use my plug-in's export format from a JavaScript? The trouble is that the second parameter of the Document class's exportFile() method is an ExportType enum. I don't see how I can add my export format to the ExportType list.
In other words, I would like to complete this line of JavaScript (replacing the ????? with something that will trigger my plug-in's export file method):
myDoc.exportFile(myFile, ?????);
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Thanks for the help. Sadly, one cannot run an action from a JavaScript; it can be done with an AppleScript or VBScript though. I was hoping there was a way to do what I want from JavaScript so I would not have to deal with the headaches of involving JavaScript and AppleScript in the same project.
The ideal solution would be create a way for a script (JavaScript, VBScript, and AppleScript) to send a message to a plug-in without having to--in the plug-in code--create a timer and watch and wait for some event to happen. If everything were easy, I guess everyone would be developing software! ;-)
I'll try the Scripting forum...
Cheers!

Hi,
Select text column (varchar column) -> Treat Text as -> custom text format ->Remove @ (default) -> add [html]<script>sometext(‘@’)</script> followed by your javascript
for eg:
[html]<script>buildGoogleChart(‘@’)</script> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function show_alert() { alert("Hello! I am an alert box!"); } </script> </head> <body> <input type="button" onclick="show_alert()" value="Show alert box" /> </body> </html>

I can no longer edit my custom content management system using Firefox

Hello,
I work for the University of North Carolina. We have a very old custom content management system that is built in Oracle (UCM). When logged in, it has little edit buttons that allow you to click on items and launch edit windows. I don't know what's behind that -- it's not Java. I'm thinking javascript? All I know is that since the Firefox upgrade to 13.0.1, the edit buttons no longer display, and the sites are not editable.
So far, the only way we've been able to allow people to edit their sites is by forcing them to use IE9 in compatibility mode. All other browsers fail for various reasons. Firefox is our workhorse browser, but we're desperate to have Firefox back.
I understand we also have some problems with our Remedy application -- not sure what's happening, but it's also no longer functional in Firefox. I'm wondering if there is a patch in the works that will address these issues?
BTW, it sounds a lot like this issue here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/930042

Drat... So, we tried taking out the javascript entirely. No real change, except lightbox actions would not function. Then, we tried referencing a different javascript version. No difference, except that lightboxes and Carousels still would not function.
To see if the $ error was universal across all of our sites, I logged into four or five other UCM sites. None of them threw the $ error, only the Art site. What's interesting is that for all sites, you can see editable areas if you look for them (e.g. mouse randomly around the areas where there used to be buttons to click on), but the icons continue to not show up.
The warnings coming from the console seem fairly benign, and it's only the Art site that throws a definite error. The only thing that seems consistent across all sites is the warning: "server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555".
Any other thoughts? I'm not sure a guest logon would help, but I can certainly pursue that line of action if you'd like to dig a little deeper.
Thanks in advance,

HT5219 Can I plug an HDMI tv to my mac using thunderbolt and how I get them to recognise each other

Hi, I just bought the thunderbolt connection to mt HD tv but neither will read each other fully. I get some response but no picture

Grey background or the desktop background? Do you have full screen mode enabled? If so turn it off.
If you are seeing the desktop backgound on both screens your tv connection is working and if the menu bar is on one screen and not the other you are running the screens in extended display mode.
About Arrangements, Menu Bar, Extended Displays, and Mirrored Displays
When you have multiple monitors (and the TV is considered just a monitor) only one monitor is designated as the "main" monitor. That's the one with the menu bar.
If you look at the Arrangement tab in your Displays preferences you will see both monitors. One will have a little white "menu bar" on it. That's your main monitor. You can drag the little menu bar to the other monitor if you wish to make it the main monitor.
You cannot make both monitors main monitors. However there is a third party app called MenuEverywhere that allows you to do that (it has mixed reviews).
Your two monitors can be spatially arranged with the Arrangement in Displays as well. Drag the monitors around each other to define their relationship. Then you can drag the mouse or windows across with in that "space". This is extended desktop mode and I recommend that to be able to use all the available screen real estate. However there is a checkbox in the Arrangement to run in mirrored mode. Now the two images are identical on both screens albeit the max screen size is determined by the smallest screen in the mirrored set. You would of course have the menu bar on both screens since they are mirrors of each other. But I think it's a waste of good screen real estate.

I can't remember if my iPhoto has updated recently but all of a sudden i can no longer do a custom export and the only window that pops up is this one
when i used to get this one before

These options were removed by Apple. No one outside of Apple knows why.

Custom wcf service that uses SharePoint Object Model.

Hi All,
I am writing a custom service on SharePoint. I have noticed most of the people do deploy the custom wcf service in layout folder in 12/14/15 hive. I am wondering is it mandatory? Can’t we deploy the custom wcf service that uses SharePoint Object Model as
virtual directory on a specific port?
Regards Restless Spirit

It is suggested to use WCF in 12/14/15 hive folder due to security and eas in use. Check below

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16008593/where-should-custom-wcf-service-for-sharepoint-2010-resides
If you want to use the server object model you have to host your WCF service on the same server as your SharePoint is installed on.
If the WCF service has to be on a different server you can use the client object model or the SharePoint webservices to communicate to SharePoint.

Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

My project is edited in CS4.
I moved it to Encore CS4.
I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
Thanks Jim

OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can I Make A Custom Export Setting & Save It?

I am exporting files now all the time with the "Custom" setting and was wondering if I can somehow name and save a custom export preset and have it show up at the top of the list instead of scrolling all the way down to custom every time I want to export something.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

Not my knowledge.
But you can create one in Compressor, and then use a desktop droplet.

LR5 Publish Services does not honour 'Reload plug-in on every export'

I am developing a custom export plug-in for adding backdrops and border to exported images.
If I tick the 'Reload plug-in on every export' box then any changes I make to the plugin code get reloaded if I do a normal 'Export' from Lightroom 5.
However if I use Publish Services to export the images it does not honour the 'Reload' checkbox and the old plugin code gets used.

Hi, assuming your are referring to Jeffrey Freidl then can I just say that his plug-ins add so much more flexibility to any that might already exist in LR and I think he only expects the minimum set by Paypal as the minimum donation.
You can try them for a number of days before deciding to donate.
I did and I wouldn't be without them.

Question about Lossless Rendering in AE (PNG not found, can Premier Pro read this "lossless" export?

Hello,
I want to compose short transitions (45 seconds) in AE CS6 incorporating 3D graphics and also a short intro (30 seconds) containing some streaming video clips assembled in a 3d space as well.
My deliverable will ulitmately be in Blu-Ray format and I need excellent quality. I have zero concerns about the amount of time it takes to render; I only care about ultimate video quality in my deliverables.
My NLE is Premiere Pro CS6. I'm working with some beautiful Canon 5D images on a 2008 MacPro tower. I only photograph the day after it rains so I can always get pristine shots.
What is the best possible workflow for me, given my reliance on AE and PrPro and Canon 5D images and .mov files?
Earlier, Rick suggested exporting in PNG compressed format, QT. But I don't see that in my render options, although the Lossless option at the top certainly looks appealing. Can PrPro read that type of export?
Am I doomed to vaguely average quality in Blu-Ray format or is it possible to have a really nice "wow" factor using this workflow?
I'm going to purchase a new X.264 encoder when the Apple version is released this month.
Does that make any difference in how my final results from AE will appear?
If I need to abandon this whole 3d motion graphics enterprise because AE and PrPro, working together, are only capable of vaguely average deliverables with respect to 3D motion graphics, then so be it.
I would prefer to cut my losses now.
What are your candid thoughts?
Thanks,

Thanks fellas!
One two minute video and one photographic screen shot is worth 10,000 words.
Ben, do you recommend purchasing QuickTime 7 Pro for that PNG render workflow?
Also, a friend of mine recommended the following workflow. Any comments? Constructing my own custom timeline sounds like a bit of a chore.... perhaps it is worth it? He's worked quite a bit in large studios and does not recommend PNG here. Not sure why.
Matt
My friend recommended:
"I still recommend ProRes for Adobe, and most of the bigger shops that I've heard of that use Premiere still convert to Prores. Cineform or DNxHD would work just as well, depending on your workflow. You can create a custom timeline that will let you work and render full-res files for those editing codecs, instead of the default low-res mpeg2 that Adobe is set to work with.
Working with H.264 is still much more processor-intensive than many systems are prepared for, and in the ProRes conversion process hopefully you're adding reel and TC info if you don't already have it (I'm betting you don't).
Really it's a question of knowing and taking control of what is happening to your video files, or just letting your system do what it wants, which often isn't what's best.
As far as final conversion... I use Mpeg-4 in an mp4 container to avoid the gamma shifts that i see too often in h.264 .mov files. As much as I love the idea of open source, it's not always practical for professionals. X.264 may be fully compatible, but I haven't had reason to work with it instead of .mp4 files. Given the choice of h.264 vs x.264, I would definitely test out x.264, as I've read that you can avoid gamma issues by using it as well."

Customs export declaration not getting created

Hello everyone .. i need help of your expertise
I am creating billing document on R/3 and we have made it such that the F2 document flows onto GTS and creates a Customs export declaration
The issue here is i have created the billing docs but i cannot find them on GTS.
I checked the value of the goods is not equal to zero
Checked the SM58 to see of any RFC log is there at the time of document creation and time .
checked SLg1 on GTS to see if any log , but no log is there .
It is basically an export order from EU country to a non EU country
and i checked the billing doc and it is export relevant
The document is flagged to go into GTS in document control settings on R/3
Plant , company code and everything is mapped.
It is an intercompany customer transaction.
When i try to pull up the CULOEX by using the reference doc # from feeder system its saying no documents found
in test environment the billing doc is flowing onto GTS and creating CULOEX succesfully.
The sales order and delivery docs basically passed the compliance test and they are good.
Can someone suggest me where else i need to go and look at .
your help is very much appreciated.
thanks
Bharad

Hi Bharad,
Could you let us know the current status of the issue? If it is resolved could you pls share us how you have done it as it is the most occurring issue and leaves no clue too? If not resolved, Could you check whether the Badi /SAPSLL/IF_EX_CTRL_SD0C_R3 is activated in R/3 or not?

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Premiere CS6 does not remember some settings when saving custom export presets.

When I save a custom export preset in the export window, some settings are not remembered, and I need to change them every time again and again! The settings so far I found to not be saved are:
Key frame every ... frames
Limit data rate to ...

Interesting...
When I create and save an a H.264 QT preset
using the Export Settings dialog from within Premiere,
it does not save the key frame interval or max bitrate.
However, when I create a H.264 QT preset from within
Media Encoder and save... the missing settings are saved
and can be recalled from within the Premiere Export Settings dialog.
EDIT:
Re-tested this a bit more, and now the kf interval & max bitrate are
being saved with the presets created in Premiere Export Settings dialog.
Odd... my first 2 tries didn't take?
