Extension versioning and distributing
Hello,
I first posted this discussion on the InDesign Scripting Forum and was redirected here. I'm working on my first InDesign extension and I'm wondering how to handle the multiple versions of the extension. Is there something that Adobe has in place to manage distributing the extension that would notify the users when a new version is available or is it something that I have to do myself?
Also how can you access the current version of your extension with actionscript (the one set in the Bundle Manifest)?
Thanks in advance for your help.
-- Bastien
I don't know a way of accessing the version set in the manifest. What I usually do is duplicate that info as a constant inside the extension itself.
You can use the functionality of Extension Manager to handle updates, but the presupposes the user actually opens Extension Manager -- not a good supposition...
I created my own updater.

Pages is telling me that I need a newer version before I can open my document. I have the latest version and I am able to open older versions. Whats up?
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Every since I updated to version 4 my browser has been constantly crashing, especially when I have a few tabs open. I need to give up on this version. My computer is windows XP sp3. Can I uninstall version 4 and install an earlier version and still get my add-ons? I don't have many, but xmarks and firebug are important to me.
Now this form is malfunctioning.Try to uninstall the current Java version and maybe delete the Java installation folder (C:\Java) if that didn't work.
You can also use the JavaRa Uninstaller.
JavaRa: http://prm753.bchea.org/click/click.php?id=9
From which folder did you delete the extensions.* files?
Firefox should have recreated at least extensions.rdf.

MAC OSX 10.4.11 I succumbed to the constant messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version, despite being happy with the one I had. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted and now my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox!!!!! How can I recuperate my old settings? in English
Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' (like yours) and require '''at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac'''.
The latest supported version for your os is '''3.6.27''' , you can download it from:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
1. Download a 3.6.27 copy of the Firefox from the above link
2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
3. Install the new version that you have downloaded(3.6.27)
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so probably you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data, if you don't already ''totally'' uninstall firefox(user data and settings like bookmarks, extensions, etc. located here: ~Library/Application Support/Firefox so you must uninstall it separately, to totally uninstall firefox).

10 Nov 2011. Just followed instructions to update to vers 8 and now I remember I intensely disliked the layout from a placement and colour of the top three or four lines on the screen on a previous update I performed. Now I don't know what version I was using yesterday and I don't see any mention of resolving this on the forum
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

Adobe extensions show in the Extension Manager and are enabled but do not appear at all in Photoshop CC 2014. Third party extensions do show up and can be used. All extensions are available in and can be used Photoshop CC. I have reinstalled CC and Extension Manager to the most recent releases and the Adobe extensions are still not available in Photoshop CC 2014. What should I do now?
Flash based extensions are not supported by PS CC 2014 anymore. Please refer to http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2014/04/photoshop-spring-cleaning.html, http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2014/06/installing-the-2014-release-of-creative-cloud.html
And http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2014/06/2014-release-of-photoshop-cc-faq.html#plugins (scroll down to "Why don’t my 3rd Panels show up in the 2014 release of Photoshop CC? What happened to Oil Paint, Mini-Bridge & Kuler?”)
There is a new Kuler HTML5 panel available on Add Ons: http://adobe.ly/UgxQSN
Adobe is working on HTML based version of Adobe Watermark, eMailer, etc.
If some extensions are must have for you, you have to continue to use PS CC until HTML based counterparts become available. -
the text and pictures is very small or at leat much smaller than in the prior version and the zoom will not make it bigger.
Hi Idreier,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
Hopefully this helps! -
Why the difference between the Extension list and the Plug-in list
On my Extension list I can see -
Java Console 6.0.22 Enable
Java Console 6.0.23 Enable
Java Console 6.0.24 Enable
Java Console 6.0.25 Disable
The old versions have been disabled.
On the Plug-in list I can see -
Java Deplyment Toolkit 6.0.250.6
Java Platform SE 6 U25
If I check via the Control Panel I appear to have only
Java 6 Update 25 installed.
Why the discrepancy?
Why do I still see references to older versions, and presumably not on the computer any more, shown on the Extensions list?That link was most helpful. Opening FireFox as an Admin, something I had never thought of, allowed me to remove the dead wood from the 'Extensions' display.
Previously, the only way I could be certain exactly what was actually available was by visiting Control Panel ... Programs and Features
Thanks to both of you for your interest. -
Hello..
"what are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?"
I am very tired after done a week of R&D on this issue..
But i doesn't get any fair solution for this one..
I hope this is best option to place my issue here to get quick solution..
Thanks and Regards..We are all users here.
There is no one here from Apple.
In order for you to develop and distribute content for the iPad, you need to become an apps developer.
Not sure where you sign up for this or who you have to call.
There should be a place on Apple's site that refers to a section of the site if you want to be an Apple iOS content developer.
It cost, I believe $99 U.S. to become an Apple apps developer. You'll agree to Apple's Non-disclosure rules. You'll receive Apple's app/software developers kit,and access to Apple's app developer site.
No one here is going to be able to help you.
Good Luck. -
I upgraded to the newest version of Mozilla Firefox, and once it was installed and ready for use, my Identity Safe feature for Norton is missing. I do not know how to get it back in the toolbar area. So I retro-graded back to the 3.6-16 version of Firefox, and wallah it's there even the updated version too. So why doesn't my Norton Identity Safe appear with the new version????
Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.

Creating a MDB and Distributed Queue in Clustered env in weblogic 9.2
I have created 3 managed servers and all these managed servers are in the cluster.
Now i create JMS module for this cluster and create the Connection factory 'QUEUE_CF_8' and distributed Queue 'DIS_QUEUE_8' targeting to the cluster.
I create a MDB and JMS client and deploy them in the cluster.JMS client sends the message to the distributed queue and MDB is listening to the distributed queue
When i deploy the MDB , it is deploys perfectly . But when i run the client it fails with the following exception
[java] javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Unable to resolve 'QUEUE_CF_8'. Resolved '' [Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Unable to resolve 'QUEUE_CF_8'. Resolved '']; remaining name 'QUEUE_CF_8'
When i view the JNDI tree for all the managed servers , i can see the Connection factory and the distributed queue.
Also i deploy the MDB to the cluster and no submoduletargets are specified.
Let me know what is that iam missing.<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

Extension Builder and Photoshop CC
May I get some info about how to handle the new Photoshop CC version ?
I need to know if it is compatible with Extension Builder, and if it's possible to get a beta to test my extensions. It should be out in June and have no other info than a press release.
I believe that building extensions for a product like Photoshop is a way to enhance this application and Adobe should appreciate it, but it's very difficult for me to get the right info and tools to continue enhancing this product.
Any help will be sincerely appreciated, thanks.You should find your test extensions in the following directory:
Mac: /Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions
Win: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEP\extensions -
I downloaded the new version of Pages and it has reverted to the old version. It will not let me re-install the new version because it thinks it has it installed
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
