Distributed Duplicates? Copy to Grid??

The
Timeline Effect assistants from
CS3 have supposedly been revised into
Motion Presets for
CS4, but did they totally leave out the ability to do the
Distributing commands? I can't locate anything like
Distributed Duplicates nor
Copy to Grid commands in
CS4. Am I not not looking in the right place(s), or have
they been 'deleted' from the program? Any info would be
appreciated.

I also asked Support about this, they let me know that the
assistants have been deprecated... but I should try the Forums for
a workaround. I'm hoping someone may have heard of a Motion Preset
programmed by some adventurous Flasher somewhere....

I've already downloaded and installed the LION. Is it possible to re-download it just to make a USB duplicate copy?

I've already downloaded and installed the LION. Is it possible to re-download it just to make a USB duplicate copy? If yes, please advise instruction.
Thanks a much!

Yes. Open the Mac App Store and click the Purchases icon in the toolbar while holding down the Option key. The "installed" button will change to "install" and you'll be able to download the installer again.

Move/Duplicate/Copy

All,
Ok, so essentially I'm trying to write a script so that I can batch process a whole bunch of .SVG files.
The .SVG files come from a variety of sources... some open very cleanly with nice layer structure, etc... others open with completely wacked clipping masks grouped dozens of times, etc.... So, I need to try and "normalize" the .SVG with a batch process.
Basically the "normalizing" process I'm trying to use involves:
1. "Flattening" the layer structure by ungrouping any nested layers.
1b. Moving all art objects into a single GroupItem.
2. Move/Duplicate/Copy the GroupItem to a new Document with a predefined Artboard size.
3. Re-sizing and positioning the GroupItem on the new Artboard based on some criteria.
Anyway, I'm kind of mystified as to the best way to accomplish this, so I'm trying all kinds of things...
I thought the simplest way to get all the artwork to the new Document would be to use the move() or duplicate() methods.
However, I keep getting 'MRAP' errors for this line:
item.move(newDoc.activeLayer, ElementPlacement.INSIDE);
In the CS5 JavaScript Reference, the object parameter is referred to as a "relativeObject".
Does this mean that you can only move() or duplicate() an item within the SAME document?
Is the app.copy() and app.paste() methods the only way to move art from one Document to another?
Thanks!

Well, I think I found the cause of the 'MRAP' errors... I had my looping logic screwed up, so I essentially was trying to either:
1. Move something that didn't exist.
2. Move something that does exist into something that doesn't exist.
3. Move something that does exist into itself.
Also, fixing that allowed me to use the move() method to move art items (or a GroupItem) from one document to another.
I didn't test it, but I imagine duplicate() would work as well. Both these seem to me to be more desireable than the app.copy() method.
Also, a few notes to anyone trying to do something similar for prosterity sake:
- Moving artwork within a document will reset the PageItem indexes, e.g. doc.pageItems[index]
- If you remove all the artwork from a GroupItem, the GroupItem will remain in doc.pageItems unless you call app.redraw()
- If you're trying to "flatten" some random amount of artwork, CompoundPathItems (as well as GroupItems) and their respective PathItems actually take up separate indexes of the doc.pageItems array. For example:
doc.pageItems[5] // myCompoundPathItem
doc.pageItems[6] // PathItem contained in myCompoundPathItem // Also: doc.pageItems[5].pathItems[0]
doc.pageItems[7] // another PathItem contained in myCompoundPathItem // Also: doc.pageItems[5].pathItems[1]
doc.pageItems[8] // a PathItem NOT contained in myCompoundPathItem
So, generally you want to avoid moving a PathItem that has a CompoundPathItem as a parent, because it will destroy the shape and screw with your indexes to no end.

Pages makes duplicate copy of my document every time I hit save

Hi,
I searched but didn't see this exact problem mentioned anywhere so here goes...
I'm using Pages 2.0.2 and everytime I hit save on a document I get a duplicate copy with "Backup of" affixed to the front of the file name also saved in the documents folder. The contents of both files are identical and include all the work/changes I've made up until I click save. Both versions of the file are being saved with the standard ".pages" extension.
This is happening on all of my files and it's driving me crazy.
I keep reading that Pages does not have an autosave/backup feature and I certainly can't find one in the preferences but mine seems to be backing up anyway.
Any ideas?

Hi
Don't know if this has anything to do with it, sorry if it doesn't, but when you first did File>Save As did you tick the box "Save A Copy in iWork 5 format"?
Steve
Just found this in Pages Help:
Quote: Backing up the previous version of a document when you save it
Each time you save a document, you can have Pages also save a copy of the document that does not contain your most recent changes.
To back up the previous version of a document when you save it:
Choose Pages > Preferences.
In the General pane, select "Back up previous version when saving."
Pages saves the previous version in the same folder as the latest version with "Backup of" added in front the document's name. If you make more changes to the document and save it again, Pages replaces the old backup file with the new backup file.

Copy KOB5 Grid to Variable and later copy to Excel

Hi Experts,
I have a situation, where I go to KOB5 by inputting a Order number in SAP, and later copy the contents of a Grid to Excel. This excercise continues for Many Records(ie., Order Numbers). Is There a way around where the Order Numbers are picked from Excel and the output is pasted in Excel back.
I have written a script, it is picking up the Order numbers from Excel Sheet, but I am struck in pasting the Grid values back in Excel.

Hi ScriptMan,
Almost there, but with few glitches..
The script is taking only one value of the Grid, and putting it in Excel. My requirement is to have the whole Grid in Excel.
I tried For condition too, but no Success..... Hope you can help me out.
Hat's off to your contributions.

I need the duplicate copy of my apple product but the store is under renovation. Is there any possible ways to get a duplicate copy of my apple product?

I want a duplicate copy of my macbook pro as i have to show it to the service center to get my repair done within the warranty period. But the store from where i purchased my laptop is closed as it is under renovation. What do i do to get a duplicate copy of my product purchase bill. Please advise

Since you are a year away from being eligible to get a discounted phone on your current Verizon contract, your most cost effective solution is to buy or borrow a used (Verizon) phone from a friend, swappa, ebay or other source. Use that until your contract is up and then decide if you are going to stay with Verizon or move to someone else.
Changing providers now will result in $200+ in early termination fees, plus the cost of a new phone for your new provider.
What you need is not necessarily a way to get the early upgrade discount, but a working phone for your current account - look to friends, swappa, ebay, and other sources to get a good, used, working phone to finish out your contract.

Moving some Inbox Emails to subfolders leaves a duplicate copy in the inbox

Hi All hope you can offer some advice on this strange issue we are having.
We have recently installed a SBS2011 server. During installation I updated Exchange to SP3 (which we always do)
We created .PST for each user and imported email using powershell - all Imported across successfully.
The one user have 4gb of email which is made up of inbox and subfolders.
The issue we are having is this -
When this user attempts to move an email by either Drag n Drop or Rt Click and MOVE to folder - the email appears in the moved folder but also stays in the Inbox (in effect creating a duplicate)
Now - If I then move the one that appears in the sub folder to another folder - it moves without leaving a duplicate in the original subfolder ......... the one in the inbox is still there though.
I tried logging off and back in - the email is still in both places.
I deleted the one in the sub folder and the one in the inbox disappears as well ??
I have tried it in OWA and Outlook 2013 and the problem still occurs.
I have tried sending a 3mb email into the admin account and re-creating the issue -- but this seems to work fine...
So in summary - its only happening on some emails for some users ...
Can anyone suggest a starting point for this.... I know its real strange behaviour for email and something i have never come across before
Kind Regards
Stuart

Hi -
This is what I have tried as advised.
1. Created a new .PST file of a users account using outlook 2013
2. Tested that all files move ok when opening the .pst ---- YES they do
3. Deleted emails from users Exchange account using powershell
4. Opened Outlook and confirmed all emails were gone - YES all empty.
5. Re-Imported from local .PST file using outlook on the PC to Import into mail account.
6. Once all folders are updated - tested the emails that were causing problems moving - Problem still the same.
I have checked Exchange and can confirm that this is Exchange 2010 SP3 with Rollup 7 (so culdnt get any more up to date)
Can anyone else please offer any advice / Tips?
Remember this only happens on some emails in the inbox ....some emails move just fine.
The ones that seem to create a duplicate - if I delete from either the inbox or the folder then both go ...so its almost as if its a ghost copy being created......i'm flummoxed though for sure..
Regards

I made a duplicate copy of an imovie HD project and when I updated the titles on the copy, the video stuttered . I'm using Snow Leopard OSX. The length of the movie increased unexpedtedly too.

I made a duplicate of an imovie HD project so I could have two different versions. I tried making the copies both by using File> Duplicate and the Save As command in imovie.
When I changed the title on the copy, the video stuttered when I played it back. Also the overall length of the movie increased by about 6 seconds throwing off some sync even though the replacement title was exactly the same length in seconds and frames as the one I replaced.
any thoughts how to fix this?
I'm using OSX 10.6.8.
thanks.

*24 December 2009*
*Dear Mac Users:*
Hello. Thanks to AppleMan1958 for answering my question about how to edit an iMovie project
on another computer.
Here is a question related to the process of transferring the iMovie '09 project file from my friend's
computer to an external drive so that I can edit that project in iMovie '09 on my MacBook Pro:
How do I know if my Smart Disk FireLite portable external drive is formatted to MAC OS X Extended (journaled)? How I do format this Smart Disk FireLite USBFLB80C to MAC OS X Extended (journaled)?
When I connect the Smart Disk FireLite to my MacBook Pro via USB, open iMovie '09, and select View
Events By Disk or rather "Group Events By Disk," an icon for the FireLite external drive appears, but there is a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark on the icon for the external drive. What does this "warning" mean? There are MP3s of music on the same external drive and they open just fine in iTunes. The one iMovie project file that is already on the drive will not open up in iMovie.
So, how do I properly format this external drive in order to transfer an iMovie project file from my friend's computer so that I can edit it on my MacBook Pro using iMovie '09?
Sincerely,
Corey
