Using Adobe Configurator with Photoshop

A magnificent tool that *at last* allows one to customise the toolbox. However, a question:
I can find no way to put foreground / background colour onto my personalised toolbox replacement.
Does anyone know how to do this, or what script will produce the same result?

Hi!
Maybe this one can help ya. I made myself with friends a photoshop panel for picking colors - changing foreground color. As an artist I always wanted a panel like this and new CS4 capabilities in building custom panels are amazing! And as a Flex programmer I made a simple color picker as a panel.
You can try it here: http://anastasiy.com/colorpicker.zip
Screenshot is here: http://anastasiy.com/colorpicker.jpg (when I said simple - I really meant it).
Create folder 'Colorpicker' in Photoshop's Plug-ins/Panels folder then unzip colorpicker.zip contents into it. The panel will be available in Window|Extentions|Colorpicker after PS restart.
For me it's a life savior.
NOTE: There is a bug, when you open this Panel, then choose a color with standard Photoshop color picker and the color is not being changed in Panel. I don't know how to fix it :( Adobe gave a tutorial that does not work. (If someone is listening from Adobe, please mention, that your Flex/PS CS4/SDK tutorials are not working and crash photoshop.)

How To Extend Adobe Audition CS5.5

I've received a number of questions on how to extend Adobe Audition with questions similar to:
How do I import file format X?
How do I import a project from application Y?
Will there be an SDK available?
How do I add plug-ins to Audition?
I had made a post similar to this in the public beta of Audition for Mac, but I can no longer find the thread. So I'll reiterate some stuff here:
Area
Info
Adding VST Plug-Ins
Most of you have found this already, but the best place to start is in the Audio Plug-In Manager
If you want to "write" new plug-ins for Audition, writing a VST plug-in will be the best option as it will allow you to write something that will work on Windows as well as OSX. Info on writing a VST plug-in may be found here (http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/developer.html)
Adding Audio Unit Plug-Ins (Mac OSX)
Same as Above.   Note that OSX ships with some built-in AU plug-ins that Audition can utilize for free if you just scan at least once.   We don't scan on startup because there's several plug-ins out there in the world that don't behave well. Info on Audio Unit plug-in development can be found here (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MusicAudio/Conceptual/AudioUnitProgr ammingGuide/TheAudioUnit/TheAudioUnit.html)
Adding more import formats via libsndfile
libsndfile is an open-source C library for reading and writing audio files (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/)   Ambitious people could download the source, write support for another format, and create their own custom-rolled library of libsndfile. You would then replace the version of libsndfile with which Audition CS5.5 ships, with the one you rolled.   Due to the way we use libsndfile, any format you add would show up in Audition.   This is also true if there's an official update to libsndfile that comes out in the future, you could just plop it in and it should work.
If you're interested in exporting or writing formats that libnsdfile supports, please tell us which formats are the most important to you and in what way you use them in your workflow.
Adding more import formats via QuickTime components
QuickTime has the ability to be extended via QuickTime Components.   There's several examples out there, but here are some websites to check out:
QuickTime Components (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html)
Learn about even more QuickTime capabilities (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/components.html)
Flip4Mac for Windows Media support on OSX (http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm)
Perian -- the swiss-army knife for QuickTime (http://perian.org/)
Calibrated Software (http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/products.asp)
In most cases, just adding the various QuickTime components will automatically add the import functionality to Audition.
Importing project formats from other applications
As seen on other threads in this forum, Ses2sesx (http://www.aatranslator.com.au/ses2sesx.html) and AATranslator (http://www.aatranslator.com.au/) seem to add quite a bit of support.
SDK
At this time, we haven't released an SDK for Audition.   If you're interested in one, however, please tell us what you would want from an SDK for Audition and we'll take it into consideration.

Charles,
could you please also advise what PC users can do to make common avi files useable in AA CS5.5? The obvious problem is, no matter how many exotic video formats a PC can play by way of video-for-windows codecs, these are useless for Quicktime, because Quicktime on the PC needs codecs specifically written for "Quicktime for Windows", which are, as I've come to find, EXTREMELY rare. So far I've only found ONE, sold by 3ivx, but this costs as much as the AA CS5.5 update itself. Without them, Quicktime on the PC will only handle mov files, which are not too popular on the PC. Is there any other way out of this?

Hi
I am not suprised no one answered your questions, there are simply to many of them. Can I suggest you read the faq on 'how to get help quickly at - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/470404.

Photoshop scripting calls from Adobe Configurator panels

Can javascritpt functions executing from an HTML element inside a panel affect the photoshop scene? I know it can using the scripting toolkit, but I'm trying to do this in the Adobe Configurator. In Configurator I created a new panel with an HTML panel and a button inside it that executes a javascript function on click "createDocument". When I bring this into photoshop, I can load the panel and click on the button, but I never get a new document created. If I uncomment the "alert" line, reexport the plugin, and click on the button, I get the alert, but still don't get a new document.
var createDocument = function() {
app.documents.add(2,4);
//alert("creating new doc!");
I've tried other functions like creating layers, but still don't see anything happening in photoshop affecting the UI. It's even more frustrating that I don't see any kind of error message that is happening. My conclusions seem to imply this panel can't call the photoshop files for some reason (running in a different VM, wrong namespace, etc.). Has anyone been able to make photoshop scripting calls from inside a configurator panel?

You might have better luck asking the in the Configurator forum. http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/configurator/

Help Needed with Adobe Interactive Forms scripts

Hi Gurus,
I have an Interactive form in which I have 5 radio buttons. Upon selecting any one of the radio buttons, some values (Ex : If user selects the first radi button 20 should be displayed in the text box. If he selects the second 21 should be displayed in the textbox.). In my script, I need to capture the checked value of the radio buttons ( They are grouped) and how I should reference radio button on the form/subform
Regards,
Srini

Where to start with scripting:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/FormCalc.pdf
In first doc, check the last chapter for the most illustrative examples.
You need to be able to get the value of the radio (var help = this.rawValue), use the condition (if (){} else {} )and set the value (this.rawValue = "").

Adobe Applications Manage rin Yosemite Kaput. Advisor directs me here. Another Adobe Run-around. CS5 Extended still crashing with Eyedropper when moved to desktop.

I'm sorry to report that I've not yet figured out how to go about this 'Cleaning'. I've run the cleaner on the Applications Manager, then attempted to reinstall the downloaded Applications Manager and again I get the same message as above. I attempted to trash the Applications Folder and rerun the installer. That did not work. I then moved the downloaded Applications folder to the utilities folder and restarted CS5>Updates. It reports, again it can't find/or is damaged Applications Manager. I will now take the folder out of the trash and return it to the Utilities folder.
If I run the Recovery tool on Photoshop will I uninstall Photoshop or will it only 'clean' it. Does it mean I will lose any third party plugins?
I do thank you for your continued support. This is the first time a requested answer/suggestion to my troubles has been promptly be addressed by 'Adobe'. I am also pleased I can reply to an email to aid in resolving questions.
Again, Thanks!

Extending System Center Operations Manager Classes & Discovery SCOM 2007 R2

I want to add some additional attributes to SCOM that are populated from information in another database.....for example.
I have a CMDB that contains information about the support level for each server (i.e. gold, silver, bronze), i want to be able to display this information in the SCOM console. This needs to cover both Windows and Unix/linux servers.
I have played around with creating a custom MP and have created a new class, and custom script discovery using a vbscript to query the CMDB SQL database containing the info that i want....I have got to the point where i can see the new column in SCOM console
but cannot get it to populate with any data.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Change Illustrator version with scripting?

Hello!
I go through several dozen files a day at work and we have to save down everything to 9 as we go.
Actions don't seem to delve that deep into the save as promt, so how can I script this so that the default goes to Version Illustrator 9 everytime?
I'm looking to do a similar script while exporting my format as default jpeg instead of png.
Help anyone on where to point me? I'm familiar with the basics of scripting. It's been a while but I need a starting point on if this is even possible.
Thanks!

I found the Applescript from Larry G. Schneider to be a great solution . . . ALMOST. Seems like Adobe has abandoned the info Finder uses, the "file type." So I added another few lines that ALSO recognize files whose "kind" is "Adobe Illustrator Document."
Here's the code. (NOTE: This version is suited to my prefs, which is to resave as CS4. For your purposes, you would simple edit the script, changing "compatibility:Illustrator 14" to "compatibility:Illustrator 9" .)
-- BEGIN CODE:
set fileTypes to {"EPSF", "PDF ", "ART5", "TEXT"} -- file types available to resave as Illustrator
-- get a sourceFolder that holds the files to resave as AI
set sourceFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder with files to resave as Illustrator CS4:") as text
-- get a list of files of the defined type in the sourceFolder
tell application "Finder" to set workingFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is in fileTypes) as alias list
-- now you have your fileList argument
-- look again, getting AI docs whose "file type" is missing (due, presumably, to CS file format changes):
tell application "Finder" to set moreFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose kind is "Adobe Illustrator Document") as alias list
set workingFiles to workingFiles & moreFiles
-- get a destinationFolder to hold the new files
set destinationFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder to hold the Illustrator files:"
SaveFilesAsIllustrator14(workingFiles, destinationFolder)
on SaveFilesAsIllustrator14(fileList, destinationFolder)
set destinationPath to destinationFolder as string
repeat with aFile in fileList
tell application "Finder"
set fileName to displayed name of aFile -- get displayed name
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
set newFileName to text item 1 of fileName
set newFilePath to destinationPath & newFileName & ".ai"
end tell
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
open aFile forcing CMYK with options {update legacy text:true}
-- amend the "compatibility:" value to your preference (which might be followed up by amending some of the above lines, esp. the prompt in line 4):
compatibility (Illustrator 10/Illustrator 11/Illustrator 12/Illustrator 13/Illustrator 14/Illustrator 3/Illustrator 8/Illustrator 9/Japanese 3) : what Illustrator file format version to create ( default: Illustrator 14 )
save current document in file newFilePath as Illustrator with options {class:Illustrator save options, compatibility:Illustrator 14, embed linked files:true, font subset threshold:0.0}
close current document saving no
end tell
end repeat
end SaveFilesAsIllustrator14
-- END CODE

[SOLVED] Clonning window in extended desktop configuration

Hello,
Does anyone know whether it is possible to clone a window in a extended desktop configuration running two monitors?
I would like something like cloning the displays, but not for the entire screen, just for the windows that I want.
Something like I did on this poorly made image
Here is some link that I found, but I think that this doesn't cover this:

I made a little script to automate this process.
So one can just run it, select the window with the mouse and the vnc viewer pops out!

Adobe, I think, are quite happy leaving the StageWebView as a highly efficient and low-level component accessing native functionality, so I wouldn't hold my breath on them extending it.
That said, I believe somebody did implement an ANE that gives much more access and, according to the docs, does allow Javascript access.
