Custom Tool Buttons

Hello --
I'm running PSE 12 on Mac. I do a lot of photo cropping in 4 standard crops: 8x10, 10x8, 4x6 and 6x4. At the moment, go through this lengthy routine each time I need to crop:
1. click on the crop tool
2. open the tool options (I don't like to use the auto-open option for every tool, so that is shut off)
3. select the fixed ratio from the pull down menu (either 8 x 10 or 4x6)
4. Then choose the orientation (i.e., do I actually want 8x10 or do I need 10x8 for this given image)
Instead of going through these pain-in-the-neck steps for every image, I'd like to have 4 buttons on my tool panel -- 1 for each different crop ratio/orientation.
Is there a way to do something like this in PSE 12? If so, could someone walk me through the setup?
Thanks!

I see a similar question from 2012 but is there a way now 2 years later? Or can you create a custon button that essentially does the same thing without the action wizard? Sorry if this question has been asked a bunch of times.

  • Import Icon on Custom Tool Button

    Hello,
    I have a script to add an icon to a custom tool button.
    When the script is run from the console in Adobe Professional 9, the tool button with the icon is added to the toolbar.
    The tool button needs to be installed on user's computers with Adobe Reader X.
    The script was placed as folder level javascript on a user's computer as well as the jpg file for the icon.
    When Adobe Reader X was opened the following error was thrown:
    TypeError: this.importIcon is not a function
    1:Folder-Level:App:Button.js
    Can any one please provide assistance on how to get the tool button with the icon to show in Adobe Reader X?
    This is the folder level javascript:
    this.importIcon("myIcon", "/C/temp/myIcon.jpg", 0);
    var oIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(this.getIcon("myIcon"));
    app.addToolButton({
    cName: "myButton",
    oIcon: oIcon,
    cExec: "console.println('My Button!');",
    nPos: 0
    Thank you very much.

    That code can't work in a folder-level JavaScript since importIcon is a method of a document.
    You should instead include the button icon image data in the script. If you want to see how to do it, you can get the following product: http://www.windjack.com/product/acrobuttons/

  • Tool Button Not Working in Adobe Reader 9

    Hello,
    I have a custom tool button - folder level script (with a trusted function) to digitally sign a drawing template.
    The tool button works in Reader 8 and Reader X, but is not working in Reader 9.
    The error message is shown "Not Allowed Error: Security settings prevent access to this property or method".
    Can any one please advise why this would not work in Reader 9 when the tool buttons work in other versions of Adobe Reader?
    Thank you.

    Adobe changes JS with every major release, check the Acrobat JS API Reference to see what has changed with regard to your code.
    Without seeing your code, there is no way tell what is going on. Also check the preferences to see if there is an option that needs to be checked to allow your script to work.
    Since Reader X works and it is free, why not upgrade?

  • Custom Push button on CAT2 t-code

    Hi Experts,
    There is a requirement in my project, where we need to add a custom push button in the application tool bar of CAT2 transaction.(This push button must be placed right next to the additional fields push button). When this push button is pressed, a pop up must be displayed with some details on fields.
    There are three screen exits available for this screen.They are as follows:
    CATS0005
    CATS0007
    CATS0012
    Is it possible to add a custom push button in this standard application tool bar? If so, can you please help me in identifying the appropriate screen exit that can be used to achieve this requirement.
    Also, the current system is in 4.6c version and the above requirement is to be implemented in 4.6c. In near future, there will be an upgrade to ECC 6.0 version. So it will be helpful if you can give me suggestion that is applicable in 4.6c and ECC 6.0 verison.
    Thanks a lot in advance,

  • Google's "Search Tools" button missing in Firefox on PC (works in Chrome)

    When searching with Google using Firefox, I cannot see the "Search Tools" button displayed where it normally is, below the search field, after "Web", "Images", "Video" etc. There is only a limited date range on the left hand side, meaning I cannot filter search results properly. If I try an Image search, my options for image size are limted to "Large", "Medium" and "Icon" (which is pretty much useless if I want to specify images above/below/exactly a particular size etc.)
    Using Chrome, however, the "Search Tools" button still appears and thus I am able to access the full range of search options.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/945303
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012079
    ^As per other support threads out there, the issue seems to be occuring with other users, BUT these threads are all related to Android/mobile, NOT PC.
    Obviously, the easiest workaround is to just use Chrome instead of Firefox. But I don't want to use Chrome because Google is Evil. So... any ideas?

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button but can't. Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

    I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. It is the 2014 release of adobe illustrator. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button.
    I start a new document. Then I place my scanned pencil/colored pencil drawing, in to the document. I have tried scanning and then placing it as a jpeg, bitmap, and tiff file. I have tried scanning and then placing it, in color and in black and white. The scan mode I use is flatbed. Adobe illustrator allows me to select the default button and one of eleven preset buttons (e.g high fidelity photo), but it does not allow me to click the custom trace button. The custom trace button is grey while all the other buttons are white.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

    It seems pointless to adjust it afterwards because it is then only a couple a pencil lines rather then a full drawing. And how do I adjust it afterwards? Would I do this using the different buttons under the window button?

  • How to disable the Tools Button in Bex Analyzer

    Hi Guys,
    How do I disable the Tools button only in Bex Analyzer so as to avoid the users messing with Query Designer.
    Thanks,
    Recca

    Recca,
    Can you do this via authoirsations instead?  ie. Allow two types of users, Designers who have access and Users who don't.
    User will be able to access the Query Desinger but have no access to create or save. That should suffice.
    If you start tweaking with the toolbar it may have wider negative implications.
    Regards

  • How to get "Selected" color for custom toolbar buttons?

    RH 8.0.2.208
    RoboHelp HTML
    WebHelp output
    I'm getting flack from internal QA folks about the custom toolbar buttons not having the same "selected" color as the default buttons (Contents, Index). I've copied the background color info from the <btnselected></btnselected> section for the built-in Contents to the <btnselected></btnselected> section for a custom toolbar button, but RH is ignoring it.
    Any hints?
    Leon

    You could try using the raw converter. Open one file and edit it (File>Open, pick the image and choose Camera Raw as the format before you click Open). Then open the next image and click the little four-lined square on the upper right side of the ACR window and choose Previous Conversion from the flyout menu.

  • Form Alignment issue in table: Custom submit button

    Yesterday as I was putting together a "check availability"
    form within a horizontal table, I ran into difficulties getting the
    form to vertically align in the middle, it kept aligning to the
    top. I was able to correct the problem using the following CSS:
    <style>
    form {
    display:inline;
    </style>
    Now this morning I was switching the generic "submit" button
    with a custom gif button using this code within the form:
    <input type="image" name="submit" src="image.jpg"
    width="110" height="20">
    This worked fine, but every part of the form is aligning to
    the middle correctly except the custom button which is sticking to
    the top. I'm completely lost on how to resolve this issue. If
    anyone has any information on how I can fix the button to align
    with the rest of the form I would greatly appreciate your help. I
    am a beginner at adjusting code.
    Thank you so very much!

  • Not able to expand tool button in Acrobat 9.0

    I have implemented a plugin which contain two Tool buttons using Acrobat SDK 7.0.
    I created a "Flyout" using function AVToolBarNewFlyout(). I am adding those two tool buttons into this Flyout using function
    AVToolBarAddButton() and at last I am doing AVToolButtonSetFlyout().
    When I load this Plugin into Acrobat version 7 and 8 the flyout is working fine (where I can expand tool button) with or without opening any document in Acrobat window.
    The problem is when I load the same Plugin into Acrobat version 9 the Flyout is working fine (where I can expand tool button) only when the document is opened in Acrobat window.
    I am not able to expand tool button if active document is not present.
    Please help me..

  • Suddenly, my custom url buttons disappeared from the navigation bar and I can no longer add new ones. FF22

    I am using Firefox 22 (I like its features and do not want the features added in later version.) I have added a handful of custom URL buttons to the navigation bar that allow me to go instantly to websites I visit frequently. There was/is a function in Firefox for adding such buttons. This morning, after leaving my computer on all night, I found that the custom buttons had disappeared and I could no longer find the function for adding new ones. Can you tell me what has happened and how I can add custom URL buttons? I will appreciate your help. Thank you.

    I solved my own problem. This function was added by Google Shortcuts, which somehow became disabled. After fussing ariound for a few minutes. I was able to restore it.

  • HTML Snippet customized paypal buttons not showing correctly when published

    Hi, My customized paypal buttons that i but on my iweb site using html snippets are not displaying correctly. They work in Opera but not in firefox or safari. Please take a look and tell me what you think might be wrong. (all the links are working it's just not showing the graphics correctly (apart from in Opera)
    http://www.alisonbrent.com/ShopTableLamps.html
    Also I've just noticed that when i return to my iweb application (after closing in down) the Html snippets aren't there anymore just an outline, just like they appear in safari?
    Many thanks,
    Ali
    P.S

    Bonjour
    You inserted an image inside the ShopTable_Lampsfiles folder but it's is deleted every time you publish your page
    1) Create an new folder named Paypal in your root folder:
    FTP: With a FTP software (like Cyberduck) create a new folder in your server root folder
    MobileMe: just make an new folder inside the Folder Sites (iDisk > Web > Sites)
    Name this Folder "paypal"
    2) insert your image "addtocartbutton.png" inside this paypal folder
    Get the new URL of your image , something like
    http://www.alisonbrent.com/paypal/addtocartbutton.png
    3) Paste this URL in your codes, replace
    src="http://www.alisonbrent.com/ShopTable_Lampsfiles/addtocartbutton.png"
    by
    src="http://the/new/URL/of/addtocartbutton.png"

    Hello,
    Whoever wrote the CustomCodeGenerator will have to help you with this one. We know nothing about the underlying code they are using and therefore can't determine the cause.
    Appears the error is it can't even load the report so there is something wrong with the workings. Open the report again in CR Designer and Verify Database and then check the changes you did. Something is not right or the DB driver their application is using does not match with what you are using.
