CS5 Find dialog

In past DW versions I had been able to select the root of a site, or a directory of a site, select find and the dialog would be ready to search either the entire site or selected files of the site.
I am using a Mac with Snow Leopard and have noticed that with the new CS5 I am forced to tell the dialog what it is I want to do. It no longer acts as though it knows what I want according to my selection.
I had tried the demo of CS5 on Windows and the dialog worked fine.
Is this a bug for Mac versions, and if so when will it be addressed? It is annoying to not have the program not operating as before.
Also, is there a forum or location where I can report the bug? Please give a URL if there is such a place.
Thanks,
Cy

  • [AS][CS5] Find and replace a missing font

    I have an overly complex script that compares the document's fonts missing fonts to the system fonts and makes a best guess. It was written to handle conversion of Multi-ad Creator documents to InDesign. It has worked 100% of the time so far. It needs a LOT of cleaning up and tweaking to make effecient, but that is not the point of my question. Everyday I am sent an InDesign file I have to work with and everyday it will has a missing font. Arial (OTF).
    I ran my script thinking it would replace it with Arial (TT). No problem...
    Ran it... nothing.
    When I use the find dialog in Indesign to search based on the applied font it works, the returned properties in AS contain:
    return properties of find text preferences
    font:"Arial (OTF)"
    Ok, fine so I try...
    set properties of find change text options to {case sensitive:false, whole word:false, include footnotes:false, include hidden layers:false, include locked layers for find:true, include locked stories for find:true, include master pages:true}
        set applied font of find text preferences to "Arial (OTF)"
        set applied character style of change text preferences to "Page&Header"
        tell document 1
            set myFoundItems to change text
        end tell
    Nothing.
    This has pretty much worked on every other font I've tried, so what am I doing wrong here?

    All right, back at it....
    I've run into even more fonts that it is an issue with. My basic thoughts on this are as follows: When bringing a document from Multi-ad Creator to InDesign the fonts are named in a way that InDesign does not recognize them. The thing is those fonts are really fonts that are on my system. It is simply a matter of rearranging the name of the applied font to match what InDesign would recognize. The thing is InDesign will allow me to use Find/Change to modify the fonts in the document.
    Now the fonts I've run across that give me an issue are fonts that do not correspond to any font on my system. I do not have any TrueType fonts, this document I opened today did...
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set myDocument to active document
        tell myDocument
            set myPage to page 1
            return properties of every font
        end tell   
    end tell
     {{font family:"Helvetica (TT)", PostScript name:"Helvetica-Bold", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:1, name:"Helvetica (TT)     Bold", object reference:font "Helvetica (TT)     Bold" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}, {font family:"Helvetica (TT)", PostScript name:"Helvetica", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:0, name:"Helvetica (TT)     Regular", object reference:font "Helvetica (TT)     Regular" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}, {font family:"Times (TT)", PostScript name:"Times-Bold", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:3, name:"Times (TT)     Bold", object reference:font "Times (TT)     Bold" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}, {font family:"Times (TT)", PostScript name:"Times-Roman", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:0, name:"Times (TT)     Regular", object reference:font "Times (TT)     Regular" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}}
    Ok, so let me try this (commented out are the different ways I've tried):
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set myDocument to active document
        tell myDocument
            set myPage to page 1
              --return properties of "Helvetica (TT)" --"Helvetica (TT)     Bold"
            return properties of font "Helvetica (TT)" -- "Helvetica (TT)   Bold"
            set myDocumentFonts to name of every font
        end tell
    end tell
    Adobe InDesign CS5.5 got an error: Unable to retrieve the font's UID from its name.
    I was able to get the properties of the font using:
    return properties of every font whose PostScript name is "Helvetica-Bold"{font family:"Helvetica (TT)", PostScript name:"Helvetica-Bold", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:1, name:"Helvetica (TT)     Bold", object reference:font "Helvetica (TT)     Bold" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}
    Now I thought of trying the following:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set find text preferences to nothing
        set change text preferences to nothing
        --Set the find options.
        set properties of find change text options to {case sensitive:false, whole word:false, include footnotes:false, include hidden layers:false, include locked layers for find:true, include locked stories for find:true, include master pages:true}
        set applied font of find text preferences to every font whose PostScript name is "Helvetica-Bold"
        set applied font of change text preferences to "Helvetica"
        tell document 1
            set myFoundItems to change text
        end tell
    end tell
    Now this does result in something, the find of the Find/Change dialog is looking for Helvetica + Bold. The only problem with that is it isn't looking for the TT font.
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set myDocument to active document
        tell myDocument
            set myfind to properties of every font whose PostScript name is "Helvetica-Bold"
        end tell
        set find text preferences to nothing
        set change text preferences to nothing
        --Set the find options.
        set properties of find change text options to {case sensitive:false, whole word:false, include footnotes:false, include hidden layers:false, include locked layers for find:true, include locked stories for find:true, include master pages:true}
        set applied font of find text preferences to name of myfind
        set applied font of change text preferences to "Helvetica"
        tell document 1
            set myFoundItems to change text
        end tell
    end tell
    And nothing happens.. other than it trying to search for Helvetica + Bold
    I'll try some other ideas later when I have more time.

  • "could not find dialog id" exceptions in rtr

    Pardon my lack of knowledge on this piece of ICM but that is why i am here.  I wish to better understand how a dialog is established between ICM-CVP as I believe that is the dialog id that the below exeception is referencing.
    The environment I'm currently involved in is experiencing a lot of errors like this:

    Is the router responsibile for establishing a dialog id w/CVP at the start of each call?  Why are all the the dialog id's from our CallManager Routing Clients NULL or (-1)? 
    Is the dialog id dependent upon the correlation id?  I'm not seeing dialog failures due to correlation id issues.. just lots and lots of cases of routing clients unable to locate their dialog ids
    Could someone provide some context on what/how dialogs are establish, used for, and maybe reasons why they could be lost from a router's perpesctive but somehow the routing client is remembering them?

  • How can I get CTRL-F to open the find dialog?

    I am using Firefox V36.0.4 and when I am on the catalog site of mydoitbest.com and I press the CTRL+F to open the find dialog and it doesn't work. I contacted the authors of the site and they said:
    "This is a quirk in Firefox actually, not our site. You need to either click at the top of the browser (in some blank area, like below the address bar) before pressing Ctrl+F or press Ctrl+F twice for the search bar to come up in the lower left corner. We updated our Firefox to your recent version and had the same result. If you click the top of the browser first or press Ctrl+F twice that will bring the search bar up."
    I'm not sure I believe them... This is the only site that has the problem. I have tried Firefox in Safe Mode, it still doesn't work. I believe they are doing something to capture the <CTRL> key because when I press CTRL+Left Mouse Click on a link it should open a the link on a new <TAB>, but instead just opens the link in the same <TAB>.
    Has anybody else reported a problem with Firefox? Any other ideas or any way for me to check the source for the page to see if they are doing something wrong?
    Thanks, Keith

    Hi, thanks for the reply.
    No, that doesn't fix the problem.
    I've done some programming and have been checking out their site. They are trapping the keys so the first time I press <CTRL-F> it puts a lower case "f" in their search box. If I press <CTRL-F> again the search dialog box does open. If I click on their search box first with the mouse, then press <CTRL-F> it works as it should.
    I guess I'll have to live with it, because they don't seem interested in correcting their problem.
    Thanks, Keith

  • How to execute a search by a click on a custom button (without the find dialog)

    Hello.
    Yesterday I've tried to create a custom search-dialog in a tabbed palette for Adobe Bridge.
    I need this custom dialog in a tabbed palette because I use Bridge as an image-database where I often need to search for keyword-combinations.
    It is not efficient for me to open the find dialog for each search and add a search-criteria for every keyword.
    So I want to create my easy custom search.
    In this custom dialog I have my keyword-list where I can select the keywords I want to search for and the search-option "match all of the keywords" or "match one of them".
    The creation and selection of the keywords and search-option works.
    Now I want to click on a button in my tabbed palette (like clicking "find" in the find dialog), give the data to the Bridge search and execute it. But I don't know how.
    It seems to me that I need the function getBridgeUriForSearch from the ExtensionHandler. But I don't understand how to do this (I didn't create the dialog as an extension) and I think there must be an easier way.
    I use only information which you can insert in the normal find dialog - there are no new or unknown information for the Bridge search. So there must be a way that I can call the Bridge search with this information.
    I would be very happy if somebody could help me...
    Thank's Susi

    Hm looks like I have to give up...
    If the kewyords in the filters would be presented in a hirarchical structure - that would also be ok, but it seems that this is not possible, too.
    I think I will source this search out to a lokal web-script. It won't be so fast as bridge but I think this is the only solution to get the images by selecting keywords in a hirarchical structure...
    I hope Adobe will implement more interfaces for JavaScript to access Bridge in later versions...
    Thank you for your efforts and sorry if I wasted your time.

  • Modal Text Search / Find Dialog

    Hi,
    I'm using CR 2008 SP2 .NET SDK.
    Is there anyway to set the Find Dialog of the CR Viewer to be a mdi child?
    Currently it is modal but it makes the usability of this find really horrible.
    In CRXI this form was not modal.

    What version of .NET?
    Using .NET 2008, I get a nice mdi child form and I am able to drag it all over the place. I don't recall there ever being a change with this in CR 2008... Are you clicking on the binocular button of the DHTML viewer?

  • Find dialog: Add criteria button and + buttons are missing.

    I'm trying to use the command-f find to find a file using multiple search criteria. Seems that it would be simple enough. I want to search for files whose "kind" is "image" within a certain "date created" range. Here's the problem. My find dialog only allows me to use ONE criterion. I don't have an "add criteria" button below the "search for items whose" box. I also don't have the + button next to the criteria. So I can select "image" or I can select "date created", but not both.
    I looked at the following article, which should address the topic, but my screen doesn't look like the one in this article.

    }This works fine as long as the component which is a JEditorPane doesn't set the Document Type to "text/html".
    In short this Find Dialog does not work if the component is a JEditorPane that views an HTML document.
    Any ideas why ?
    Thanks

    Calling getText on JEditorPane with content type set to HTML does not return normal text. You'll need read more on how to use the HTMLEditorKit and HTMLDocument in order find the right methods that return the actual text in the document

  • The ability to output halftones (separations) and set screen angles, etc., from the CS5 print dialog

    I output films from photoshop that are used to expose silkscreens.  often, i output halftones and up until CS5 i've done this from the print dialog where i can also set my screen angles and dot shapes, press print and off it goes to my printer.  It has been suggested to me in the photoshop macintosh forum that i might simply build a script to convert the individual channels to bitmaps at the printer resolution, angle, shape and then print that.  unfortunately, this method results in less accurate screens and fails to take advantage of what my postscript printer can do.  this is the only reason i have a postscript capable printer.  i used this workaround method before i bought the postcript printer and the results just weren't very good.
    my workaround is to keep CS3 installed and print from that.  this is a hassle and less than optimal.  i was quite surprised to find that this "feature" which has been available in photoshop for many years suddently disappeared.  please give some thought to bringing it back.  i expect that i'm not the only shop that's going to miss it.
    you can see some commentary on this in the ps mac forum.  look for "setting line screen in CS5."
    kenb

    Hey Ken, I personally haven't used that feature in years but it was 
    very useful when printing separations for t-shirts so I feel for ya. I 
    noticed it's still in CS4 if that helps. Also, you may try 
    experimenting with the following filters:
    RGB FILES:
    Filter > Sketch > Halftone Pattern
    RGB or CMYK FILES:
    Filter > Pixelate > Color Halftone
    GRAYSCALE FILES:
    Image > Mode > Bitmap > Method > Halftone Screen
    Also, InDesign allows you to print custom screen angles and line 
    rulings but not dot shape.
    Good luck!

  • CS5 Move dialog box angles

    I've been using ai for many years. As far back as I can remember if you select an item and have either of the arrow tools as your current tool, hit the return key or double click either arrow tool you get the move dialog box. Everything in CS5 seems to be working the same until I try to move something up or down. I've always used positive numbers to move up and negative to move down. Now it's the opposite in CS5 (I don't know about CS4 since I've never purchased that upgrade). If I change the angle at the bottom of the box from 90° to -90° it works the way I'm used to, but the angle doesn't stick. Does/has anyone run into this and found out why or how to fix it? It doesn't seem to matter where I put the ruler zero at.

    Fruit,
    I think the Illustrator team was really listening to its users, who for  many many years have been shouting from the rooftops to change the Ruler  origin (0,0) to Top Left of the artboard.
    I am not sure about the rooftops; maybe we shall see answers tt that here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2857555#2857555
    Illustrator had been the  exception to this rule (with its ruler origin at bottom left) when  compared to other Adobe products like Photoshop & InDesign which had  their ruler origin at the top left.
    ... and are all inherently (apart from PS) based on the conventions of Western writing:
    and Illy was not but is now an exception when compared with corresponding applications such as FH, Draw, Canvas, Xtreme.
    Agreed that some users will find the change not to their liking but that is how it works - no company can satisfy all its users all the time.
    They, could by making it optional. Still, as shown in post #4, it is doable.

    Running my script as ScriptUI in CS5 seems to cause a strange issue with window drawing / resizing.  I am unable to reproduce the issue in CS6 or CC.  In some cases, when I run the script targeting CS5 from within ESTK, the initial window panel will appear very small and requires a user to resize it until it becomes totally visible.  Also, when I spawn a new dialog window from within a button's click handler, the dialog displays, but appears to have no specified or determined width or height.  As a workaround, I set the "resizing" for the dialog to true even though I would prefer not to let the user resize this particular dialog.  I tried setting preferredSize on almost all the elements so that I could minimize the use of automatic layout, but that didn't seem to do the trick.
    Has anybody encountered this?  Does CS5 require that the Bounds property is set?  It doesn't seem to be the case for CS6+
    If anyone has encountered this type of UI issue in CS5, any help or suggestions to fix would be appreciated.
    Thank you for your time and help!

    You can't "minimize the use of automatic layout". Either you use it, either you don't.
    I can't speak for others, but when using layout.layout(true), i often have to do many tries until "it behaves as i wanted to" (which actually means: until i find how things should be written).
    There are few rules though, and one is that preferredSize is irreliable, better use minimumSize and maximumSize (can't remember where i read that but i did, probably in the Javascript Tools Guide).
    What i do all the time is create a big group (in the exemple below it is called 'content') within the window and specify min or max dimensions for that group, not the window itself.
    Also, if you dont want the window to be resized, just set its creation property 'resizeable' to false.
    var win = new Window("palette", "myScript", undefined, {resizeable: false});
    win.alignChildren = ['left', 'top'];
    win.margins=8;
    win.content = win.add("group{ orientation:'column', margins: 0, spacing: 5, alignChildren:['left', 'top'],\
                                                " /* more stuff here */  + "\
    win.content.minimumSize = [500,300];
    win.layout.layout(true);
    win.layout.resize();
    win.show();
    If this doesnt help, please provide a bit of your code. I have CS5.5 and never encountered your issue.

  • InDesign CS5 - Print Dialog does not load (windows).

    I just installed InDesign CS5 and when I go to print a document, the print dialog does not come up.  I only get an hourglass cursor.  When I try to export to a PDF the resulting PDF is 0kb and obviously corrupt.
    What do I do to fix this?

    Don't have a clue about the print dialog, but you may be unaware that PDF export is now a background task and you may be trying to open the PDF before it's finished. To check the progress go to Window > Utilities > Background Tasks.
    There are some reports of the background task stalling in certain cases. This is a bug, Adobe is aware of it, and a solution is in the works, but no definite inopfrmation on a release date for the fix is available. If you search the forum you'll find a couple of threads discussing it, including a link to a script to do the export inthe foreground if necessary.
    For the print problem, you can try Replace Your Preferences, but I'm not hightly optimisitic that this is a prefs issue. It would help if you told us about the OS and your printer, and what language you installed. Have you updated to 7.0.2?
