Cs5 ASSETS panel - dimensions of images?

Hi!
Often need to find out smartly and fast exact dimensions of images I put into the documents for css rules especially. So I need to look up in folder where they exists to remind their dimensions. When looking to the ASSETS panel, where I can easily find all the images I use in the document I can learn about their size for example while their dimensions (even there is a special column for it) displays only with 2 minus signs (--). So whats going on with the dimensions of those images in DW CS5? I quess the ASSETS panel should displays them, should I configure DW in order to have them displayed? And when to turn it on? Or is it some bug or so...?
Thanks for help in advance. I am looking for solution some time and can not find a way to work it out:)

There's no bug, and nothing to turn on. Having said that, I have found CS5 to be very slow in populating the Assets panel with image dimensions. Dreamweaver needs to inspect the images to get the details. Depending on how many images you have got, and what other operations are being conducted by the computer at the same time, it's not instantaneous. Try clicking the Refresh icon in the Assets panel.

Assets Panel not Displaying Image files

In DW8 I have a site set up with an images directory for all
images. It is
set up as the default image directory via the Site Manager.
However, none of
the images in the directory show up in the Assets Panel. The
images are all
.gif or .jpg files. "Site" is selected with the radio button
at the top of
the panel.
This also goes for the colors, or url's. Nothing is listed.
In another site I have, the Asset Panel works fine and the
images, colors,
etc. are listed.
Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?

CS4: Is there an "Assets Panel"?

Hello all,
I was given instructions written for CS3, but software given was CS4. It states:
"Select the photo, edit it in Fireworks, then insert Frame 3 from the Assets panel onto the image"
I've looked online for hours now to find out where the Assets panel is in CS4, or at least how to places this "Frame 3" onto the image. Could anyone direct me on how to find/do this?
Thank you very much!

Without being able to read the entire tutorial and analysing how to adapt it to later versions of Fireworks, I can't say. There hasn't been an assets panel in FW for a while now. Frames don't exist in FW anymore either. They are now called states.

Viewing images in ASSETS panel instead of FILES panel

When I insert an image into a webpage I get an a dialog box that advises me that the file is outside my root folder.
The dialog box then asks if I would like to DW to copy the file there now. I click YES.
The image is then available for selection from the FILES panel.
On a Lynda.Com tutorial (and on an ADOBE help file) their images reside in the ASSETS panel.
When you click-select one of the images in their ASSETS panel you get a preview of the image and the option to declare the image as one of your favorites.
How do I go about getting my images to show up in the ASSETS panel so that the preview option is available?
As I said, my files are copied to the root folder automatically by DW.
Is there a way to select which panel they are copied to?

Images within your site are automatically available in the Assets panel. They don't even need to be in the default images folder. If the image doesn't show up, click the Refresh icon at the bottom right of the Assets panel.

How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

If you add an item to a slideshow, you'll usually see 2 entries for that image in the assets panel - one represents the thumbnail, and the other represents the larger 'hero' image.
It sounds like you may have added the same image to your slideshow twice. You can select one of the hero images or thumbnail images in your slideshow and use the delete key to remove it. Then the extra 2 entries in the assets panel should disappear.

How come some of my JPG files show up broken and some don't in my assets panel?

I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and when I create JPG files, some show up in the Assets panel of Dreamweaver and some don't. I'm miffed as to why? I've tried resaving them as JPGs to no avail. When you try and insert the broken ones in Dreamweaver you just get the broken link box. I've also tried to link to the source file to no avail. So, please help!
Dale

Ben,
Thanks for the video. I learned some new stuff about the assets panel that I've been using. However, the problem still remains. Some of the JPGs that I've created in Photoshop CS6 show up fine and some don't. The same happens with Illustrator. I did find a workaround for this though. If you open up the JPGs in Fireworks and create a slice over the image and then export the selected slice, it does show up in the assets panel unbroken. So far it works every time. I don't want keep going to Fireworks though. Adobe needs to fix this problem. In CS4, I never, ever had this problem.
Thanks again Ben...

Assets Panel Date Modified Mac CS4 DW

I do not see the option to sort by date modified in the assets panel. What I liked in GoLive was I could go to the newest images I loaded in. Is there somewhat to add that column and to move the column headings around so I can have name and next to it date modified and sort by newest?

GoLive was better in having the global site open while the design window was up
Making the transition from a familiar program to one that works a different way can be disorienting. I tried GoLive only a couple of times, and found myself hopelessly lost. However, from what I understand, GoLive did have some useful features that could improve the way Dreamweaver works, not only for ex-GoLive users, but for everyone. If you have suggestions on features that would improve Dreamweaver, file a feature request through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.
When submitting feature requests, they are more likely to receive positive consideration if you explain why the change would make Dreamweaver better. Comments such as "why doesn't Dreamweaver do it like GoLive?" are unlikely to get a sympathetic hearing.

Cannot export a panel into adobe cs5 plugin/panels

this is the error message I reecive
after creating and saving the panel in my documents folder
can not export the panel to the cs5 plugins\panels

Hi
The images you posted are not displayed
Anyway if you work on a windows system ,are you sure you run Configurator 2 as an administrator ( right click on Adobe Configurator 2 program icon > run as administrator) in order to export your panel to the cs5 plugins/ panels folder ?

Make the panel fit the image so MouseListener only invoke when click image

I want to add MouseListener to only the image itself. So I draw the image onto a image panel, add that panel onto the main panel, then add the main panel onto the frame. However, my problem is that the size of my image panel is too large, it take up almost the entire frame. So my mouselistener response not only when I click onto the image, but also anywhere in my image panel. I try to resize the image panel to fit the size of my image, but no luck. Is there a solution for this. I feel like, it got something to do with the layout. Here is my code, if you mind read it. Thank you very much

I think a better approach is to handle the mouse click properly -- see if the click is over the image or not.Can you elaborate on this?The mousePressed method you posted assumes you are over the image. Check the mouse coordinates! If the component is bigger than the image this may not be so.

Template not in assets panel

I am using DW8 v8.0.2 & am going thru 'Macromedia
Dreamweaver 8 Complete Concepts & Techniques." It was working
great until I got to project 5 about templates. I created a new
template & it showed in the files panel. Then, I created a new
page & went to the templates category of the assets panel to
apply it & it was not there. I also noticed that many of the
images file names in the images category of the assets panel had
duplicate entries. They looked fine in the files panel & the
Windows file explorer. [I am running Windows XP home edition SP1]
I've tried the following:
- refreshed the site
- rebuilt the site cache
- deleted the site cache & re-created it
- detached the assets panel from the files group
- re-starting DW8
Nothing has helped.
I did apply the template to the new page using the modify
menu, but nothing has helped the assets panel display correct
entries so that it is usable.
Is there a solution to this?

How can I Change Asset names for swapped images in duplicated symbols?

I have what seems to be a bug in edge animate cc2014 in following circumstances:
1. Duplicate a symbol
2. Drag duplicate symbol onto stage.4
3. Rename symbol
4. Click to edit symbol
5. Select an image inside the symbol
6. In properties panel change path to swap the image to be used in this instance of the duplicated symbol ( I need to reuse this symbol many times and not being able to change asset names is a real problem!).
7. The names for the asset in both the timeline and the elements were auto generated at the time of duplication when try to change the names they revert back to the auto generated names.
How can I overcome this problem which is clearly a bug or a poorly thought through bit of programming by an otherwise highly competent adobe edge animate tesm
Thank in advance
David.

Again, incorrect. It's not about how I can address a specific symbol with code - no problems there - it's what the composition loads into the symbol. Try it with some complex component or sub- symbols.
Work-Around for using Duplicated and Revised symbols (symbol variants) in the SAME document. Solution.
Tedious, but easy. Low risk. Edge Animate 2014.1.1
When you duplicate a symbol comprised of symbols itself ("sub-symbols"), only the outermost symbol gets a unique name, not it's component inner symbols. Upon import of additional variants, a unique name is created in the Library/Symbols panel for the inner symbols, yet the references in the outer symbol can't update to use those unique inner-symbol names. Therefore, the composition loads the symbol with the matching name. This will be the first variant to be imported.
Make the Duplicate
Duplicate the symbol in the Library/Symbol Panel. Rename. Export.
Prepping the Symbol
Open a new document, import and place the new symbol.
Select the asset to be switched/replaced. Make the switch in the property panel. Properties/Images/Swap button. (I revised my base or source symbol to have different colored background images. This is how I created 4 color variants.)
Save the new document, of course. "Example1.an"
Export the revised symbol from the Library/Symbol Panel for safe keeping.
Return to Example1.an
Elements Panel: Work through the nested symbols, adding a preceding identifier to all symbols in the heirarchy.
*KEEP IT SIMPLE so you can easily and quickly move through the .js files in the following steps.*
Save Example1.an.
Library/Symbols Panel: Go down the list, renaming all the symbols with the same preceding identifier as was used in the Elements Panel. *I advise to stay parallel with the Elements panel. Change as little as possible.*
Disregard any odd appearance you may see on the stage for now.
Save Example1.an
Revising the Code
In Edge Code, also part of the Creative Cloud suite, or any code editor, open the two .js files for "Example1.an." found in the same folder...Edge.js and ...EdgeActions.js
...Edge.js
find "symbolName" - prepend with the identifier whatever is not already prepended.
at the same time, look for "id" nearby - prepend with the identifier whatever is not already prepended.
Save
...EdgeActions.js
First read the grey comments about not degrading the //Edge Comments.
Search the document for "//Edge symbol" - prepend whatever is not already prepended.
Carefully check all the orange text, prepending the symbol names you find. This same code can be seen in your Code Panel with the "Full Code" button.
Save
Return to Edge Animate
When prompted to Reload, say yes.
Save Example1.an
EXPORT your new top level symbol - now a fully separated asset.Now you have created a fully unique symbol, which can be used in conjunction with other variants in the same document.
Import your new, unique symbol variant it into your real document.
This is the solution if your Symptoms are:
I duplicated symbols to make different variations, but now I can't use the duplicated symbol variants together.
When I try to swap images in a duplicated symbol, it succeeds when used alone, but reverts when used with the original symbol.
My duplicated symbol works properly alone, but not when it is used with the original symbol.
My symbol seems to revert to the original source symbol.

Pro retouchers thoughts on CS5 adjustment panel?

I've been using CS5 extensively the last few days, I gave CS4 a try too when it came out and I just don't like the adjustment panel at all. I see that the text field can be selected automatically which is a start but I find it takes more clicking around and more tablet pen movements to get what I need done compared to CS3. In CS3 if you are in an adjustment and want to cancel just hit escape and the window and the layer just go away. In cs5 you can command-z or delete until it goes away - but the panel is still open. In CS3 hold option to turn the cancel button into reset was great now you have to find one of those icons at the bottom of the panel. Of course in curves command-clicking set points on the curve but now you need to select the eyedropper? Not more efficient in my opinion. Now whats funny about CS5 if I set an action to open adjustment layers it opens in the old CS3 style windows, which is great but my ususal key commands for adjustment layers don't have function-keys. And if you open an adjustment from the layer stack even if it was made through an action it still opens in the new CS5 adjustment panel. Weird that its not consistent. I just really wish there was a preference to have a choice of either the CS3 or CS4/5 adjustment layers. Its such an important part of a retoucher's day that I find it jarring to completely change this without considering users that might be fine with what worked before. I am curious how others feel? Am I missing something that makes it ok to work with?

Yes, I will repeat what I have said many times on these forums, that the Adjustments Panel is a move backwards. In Particular the modal version of Curves is much easier to work with than the panel version. Placing, and nudging of points, feels cleaner, and graphics refresh is smoother. And the modal panel itself is much easier, less intrusive to slide around and close. Display options are also easier to toggle in Curves.
The panel offers no real advantage for professional use. Anyone who thinks its important to be able to change blend modes and opacity of adjustment layers while altering their values - well lets just say, it would be a fairly good indication of their level of expertise and imaging knowledge, if they seriously think that offers any advantage.
Now whats funny about CS5 if I set an action to open adjustment layers it opens in the old CS3 style windows, which is great but…
Yes, if you use this method you will be working in the best way available now in CS5 and 4 I think. (Actions, and the very useful script that C. Pfaffenblicher has linked to, allowing you to open existing Adjustments modally) - You can assign an F key to bring up the Script (but unfortunately it doesn't work on Vibrance or Exposure adjustments, and I haven't managed to rework it myself yet to include these).
I just really wish there was a preference to have a choice of either the CS3 or CS4/5 adjustment layers
Yes, so do I - its been asked for, and probably not a hard thing to code in.
I'd say there there are so many different levels of Photoshop user out there that many are not going to be bothered, but some of the really high end power users (myself included) have a real problem with an interface that frankly is a giant step backward when it comes to productivity. As far as I can tell, the more advanced you are, the less likely you are to like the direction Adobe is going in.
Yes I whole-heartedly agree with everything PDF says in this post. Perhaps wouldn't go as far as "giant step backward in productivity", but I've yet to meet another experienced Retoucher who thinks the panel is a better solution.

Assets panel styles, can i change the color of a style to be an exact color?

Assets panel > styles, can i change the color of a style
to be an exact color? for example, if i want to create a navbar
with the black and gray glass affect style, but i want to change
the color but keep the same style of shading. each style in the
assets panel has a default color, but i want to change the color
and keep the style. i did change the color a little bit by
adjusting the hue and saturation, but i can't seem to get an exact
match of the color i am trying to duplicate. any help is greatly
appreciated thanks

When a style is applied to any object, the Properties panel
at the bottom will reflect the attributes which are editable in
that applied style. The properties which can be edited are fill and
stroke colors also apart from adjusting the Hue and Saturation.
Gradient colors can be modified by changing the fill color.
The nodes in the gradient will change the color from blue to black
or any other intended color of change. If you know the color you
can either enter it as a 6 digit value or you can pick a color from
an existing object.
Hope it helps. Let me know I am missing you query
completely.

HT3669 My Epson Perfection 1200 scanner functions as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimet

Epson Perfection 1200 scanner continues to function as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies/film negs the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimeters. All the communications seem to recognise the scanner and the mode for the intended scan but the necessary overview scan is not completed, nothing comes up on the Image Capture scan window. If I unplug the film adaptor I can get a document scan. When I plug in the adaptor again the Image Capture details change which allows me to select the type of scan required but when the scanner attempts an overview scan it is unable to complete it.
I have had the scanner from new (12 Years) and have previously scanned slides and film with the adaptor but maybe this was before I upgraded my computer (imac 27").
Do I have to buy a new scanner? It seems so close to working correctly.
I have downloaded the Epson recommended driver (5.4) and have Epson Perfection 1200 6.6 Universal showing in the Applications List.
Any thoughts or observations would be much appreciated before I go out and spend money an new hardware.
Thanks

I have same issue - have you solved this yet?
