Folio Builder Panel - notifies when inD source is updated

I'm missing something important here : when working on a multiple articles issue, if i make changes to some but not all inDesign documents, how do i know which articles i have to update ? do i randomly click ? update all ? a small asterisk would be welcome when the source doc is no more in sync with what's been uploaded/created in the folio.
Or is this something i overlooked ?
PS : i'm also missing "ideas" in that forum that would help people link to those, propose solutions and feel the tool will fit their needs later.

Yep John, thanks for the answer.
My idea on this is that we need visual clue to know if something changes. If i want to update, then i do, knowing that. If i don't want to update, i don't have to, as you mentioned.
Now, knowing what is on a different moment (is Folio older than inD, etc) so far i can't tell, whether by watching the line in FBP, or even hoovering, the info is not shown, although it is somewhere in the xml.
You cannot decide to update something without information, if you don't know it has been updated… Neither wasting time to update all.
I don't want to force anything, i want visual help.
Many customers have a single IDD that is in many folios. For some folios, they want to update when the IDD changes, for some they don't.
this quote especially : those users might wonder whether they have the latest version or not
And don't worry, i know it's not an easy one, but raising the question might only help to get feedback.

Folio Builder panel in CS6 and CC (says update required) - can't install update (no Admin rights)

Hi. I've been running CS6 and the Folio Builder Panel keeps saying "DPS — A software update is required, go to the Help menu for Updates..." When I go to the Help section there are no updates. I recently moved to CC hoping the problem would fix itself but it hasn't. I downloaded the DPS Package update for both versions of the program — and I tried to install each one. Both give me error messages saying I don't have Admin rights. Adobe's tech support walked me through enabling Admin rights (although I should have had them already) and that didn't work.
Has anyone else had trouble installing the DPS update? I would like to actually use the DPS tools!
Thanks

Hi Bob, I ended up having to uninstall CS6, then reinstall it — then for a separate Folio Builder log in issue, I followed another thread and removed the (Application Support/Adobe) OOBE folder. Functioning smoothly for now! Thanks for your suggestion.

InDesign Crashes Opening Folio Builder Panel

While working on a publication, I will leave the Folio Builder panel to open a different one. Upon trying to reopen the builder panel so I can add my publication to the folio, InDesign crashes. Without fail, everytime. No matter what InDesign document I have open, it will crash. I have to force quit, reopen and add the document first thing. before begining work on another article.
Anyone know why?

I open Indesign and it automatically signs me into my dps acct.
I begin working on an article (using the different tools like object states, buttons, video)
all of those panels are in the same tool group as the folio builder so folio builder gets collapsed while using the other tools.
when it is time to update my article and i go to open the folio builder panel is when it freezes InDesign.
I don't have any exact steps to reproduce this because the other tools I use varies, but if the folio builder panel gets collapsed, InDesign freezes when I reopen it.

Why I can't use the Folio Builder panel on my Indesign 5.5?

When I launch the Folio Builder panel in my Indesign 5.5. There is a message that says "To start the digital publishing authoring process, please download the update for the Folio Producer components and relaunch your application." I have downloaded the "FolioProducerTools-CS55-1-9-1.zip", installed it and restarted my machine but when I launch the Folio Builder panel again and it has the same message so does anybody know what I have missed?
Thanks!

Thanks Bob for your super fast reply. Cheers!

InDesign CC - "Create App" option missing from Folio Builder panel

I am using Windows 7, InDesign CC.
While watching a Terry White video I made an app along wth the tutorila All works fine in the Desktop Viewer. When it reaches the point of going to the "Folio Builder" panel mine does not have the "Creat App" option that Terry White has. Is this because I have windows not
Mac?

Yes, a Mac is required to create DPS apps.

Endless Log-In Error : InDesign Folio Builder Panel

I updated my folio tools/panels to 1.1.9.0 and then accidentally entered in the wrong username and password in the InDesign Folio Builder Panel when I went to log back in. (The user name and password were from an DPS Professional Edition account which we suspended with Adobe to prevent billing while testing.)
The inDesign panel just endlessly cycles now. Wont give me the option to re-enter correct information. I've closed/re-opened the panel, deleted / reinstalled the panel & tools, and I've deleted my inDesign preferences, but every time upon application launch the folio builder panel just cycles as seen below. I'm stuck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try signing out of the CS Live widget in the upper right corner of InDesign, close the Folio Builder panel, and try again.

Sharing/Unsharing Apps in Folio Builder Panel - Tweaks

Adobe could help us out by cleaning up this Folio Builder panel feature.
Pasting a list of e-mail addresses has to be formatted juuuust right, otherwise it doesn't recognize them. When adding users it would be useful if there was some sort of memory/auto-fill that recognized previously added users from other folios. Perhaps a master list appears and we could just click to add users from that list. Showing the abbreviated address or name is also quite annoying (for example, when you add a user it formats the entry into a nice little "bubble" but truncates the info). Is this really necessary?
Thanks for being awesome.

Hi Ruthanne, thanks for the response, but it turns out the solution is:
Quit InDesign and any other CS apps.
First, delete the opm.db file located in /Users/"your user name"/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db, and then start InDesign and try signing in to the panel.
Why that has taken Adobe support, four phone calls, and unhelpful advice, plus a link to a help article that I had to go through several links to find the answer to, I don't know.
It would help if the "DPS" support team were better trained, and rather than sendind emails with links to articles on them, had s stock number of troubleshooting steps to try I don't know.
I was advised to create a whole new user account, uninstall InDesign, and reinstall it on that user account to see if that solved the problem, but fortunately this simple fix cured it in my standard user account.
I have learned in a very painful and stressful way, that a lot of the information on the support forums is not up to date, and relates to CS5 and CS5.5, and that Adobe expect you to do a lot of the research into problems yourself, as they often don't know the cure. I know that DPS is very complex - but all the more reason to invest in better trained support staff.

The Folio Builder panel, design-wise...

Part of my job is to teach routined InDesign users how to build Folio's. Most of them do quite well, after their initial confusion with the Interaction panels ("which do and which don't work with ADPS"). But the panel they fear most, is definitely the Folio Builder. Not even because of its casual malfunctioning (that's my nightmare as a trainer), but mainly because of its design and cosmetics. The panel sports a well-know and trusted appearance, but it's a devil in disguise.
It begins with logging-in. "No, you can't click the bull's-eye, it's just a mysterious indicator." It would be much more obvious if it looked like a led (red or green) or if it had some useful interaction to it - letting you log in/out perhaps...
Next, the three-tiered views are not clear enough. When I show them the image below, and tell them how their workflow moves from left to right and from right to left (from "Account" to "Folio" to "Article" to "Layout" and v.v.) they immediately 'get it'. And after warning them that the navigational elements on top of the panel are quite clueless (what to hit, to go where to), and that you're often thrown back from Layout to Folio (skipping Article), they're in charge and on guard. Finally, I tell them that the "New" button magically changes its functionality in each level ("wait for the pop-up!"). It is highly unusual that a side menu shows and hides certain commands in each level. It should list ALL associated commands, and show momentarily unavailable ones grayed out.
This all wouldn't be necessary if the panel would be a bit more self-explanatory. I hope this rant helps to improve its design.

very good. these all need to be addressed. the experience of the folio
builder panel is bad... I have so many ideas of a redesign in my mind, but
I'm not in charge. maybe this thread can turn into a design ideaas for the
Panel.
good start, Peter!

Can't log into Folio Builder panel. Wont verify CC Membership. Indesign or DPS bug?

I have tried to log in to see my folios in the folio Builder panel. However it as for AdobeID. I am logged into my CC Account already. so when the builder panel trys to verify it just spins and spins and tells me to enter password again. any help would be nice. I have update panel and deleted the OOCM file or that is what I think I read to do on this forum. Thanks in advance for any direction.

Well mate, I've got inDesign CC and have similar issue. Mine is saying no internet, connect and try again... I contacted CC centre and they are saying I have to wait for 24 hours until SAB ( which I am not sure what it is) to be removed and the account will be activated. I must say Adobe charged me for the CC first and payment has been made.
I recommend you to contact their centre and explain to them what is happening. The other way, try to sign in to your creative cloud first and then run your inDesign CC and see how you go.
Kind regards,
Calvin

Folio builder panel problem on login

Updated my folio builder panel and now when I login it tells me I have to update eventhough I just did. Am I the only one with this problem? T.

Hi John! You mentioned that it will be down the evening of March 12th, do you have any idea what time? We'd like to keep working and uploading content, but want to make sure that we don't screw anything up. Thanks!

URGENT - folio builder panel upgrade

We are publishing one of our monthly issues in a few hours but have just seen the message:
'A mandatory Folio Builder Panel upgrade will be required on May 2nd. Installers will be posted at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ when the update is required.'
Can we still publish as planned or do I have to install the new panel before hand?
Thanks
Liam

The creation of a folio file and having it show up in a branded app consists of several steps. Creation of a folio in the folio builder panel is what we call the upload or creation process. The act of putting the folio onto the distribution service for consumption by a mass audience is what we call "publishing" the folio.
Once a folio has been created using whatever version of the tools you want and a supported version of the folio builder panel, you can publish the content from the folio producer tools at any time. The version of the panel you use or updating the panel has nothing to do with the publish action which is the migration of content onto the distribution service.

Folio Builder Panel - progress bars?

Not a major thing, I know, but still...
What happened to the upload progress bars in the Folio Builder Panel? I do like being able to monitor progress.

OK, I might be mistaken - the bars are there when updating an article, or when adding a single article to an existing folio. With multi-article import, there were no bars. Didn't we get to see loading bars when importing multiple articles? Or is old age setting in?
