Get ID to "Place" from current document folder?

I work in ID all day, constantly placing images. It frustrates me that whenever I open a document and try to place a file, it brings me to a completely unrelated folder (wherever I last placed an image).
Wouldn't it make sense for inDesign to open the finder folder where the current document is saved? That's where all of my links and images are saved... If I'm placing into that document, isn't it likely that my links can be found in the same folder as the document?
Any way to change this setting?

This is one of those things where no matter what behavior is chosen, it's going to be wrong for somebody.
Best you can do for now is request this be made a user option: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

I cannot delete a file from the document folder. I can move it to the trash and then empty the trash, but when I go back to the documents folder it is still there.

Gay,
I wonder what your computing environment is. Is your account being administrated by another account? Are you working in an account subject to "Parental Controls"?

Hello leo3,
Sorry for the trouble you are having. Looks like you do have comcast.net set up just as "somegirl" mentioned. Here is some information on how to set up your outlook.

Loading pdf file from iPhone Documents folder into a UIWebView

I'm currently trying to include the ability for my App to download a "pdf" file from the web,... display the image in a UIWebView,.. save it to the iPhone,... and later redisplay it in the same UIWebView while "off line". I've been able to do everything but get the web view to load/display the stored pdf file. The App finds the .pdf file...
Here's the path it finds in the Simulator...
Image File Path: /Users/FCR/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/8E29ACDF-4A56-4AC2-BFA0-C4F8E00E1481/Documents/AD_K EWR.pdf
... but I'm not much into html and can't seem to come up with a url scheme to load the image. I've tried several attempts using the URL... "file:///" ... but so far haven't been able to get the file (which is in the iPhone's Documents folder) to display. I seem to be about one line short of a workable solution.
Can anyone offer a bit of code (help) to accomplish this seemingly easy task of displaying it in the UIWebView?... It would be much appreciated!

[CS3][JS] How to get the file type of current document

Hi,
How to get the file type of current opening document (e.g., tif, jpeg, png) using JavaScript with Photoshop CS3.
I am using file object the open the files one by one in the folder (the files sometimes don't have the extensions).
If the current document is in tiff format then I need to convert to 8-bit, if its an Jpg image then needs to ignore the file.
Regards,
Karthik

Do you really need to know the file type? What about just checking the bit depth?
var doc = activeDocument;
if (doc.bitsPerChannel != BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT) {//Not 8 bit
doc.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
//do your save etc
}else{
//Ignore

I want to save image in current document folder

When i open multiple document in photoshop
i want to save that files in photoshop eps format in open document location
thats means i want save images where i take images from

I created a folder on my Desktop called "screens" then launched Terminal and entered this command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/francine/Desktop/screens/
After entering the command hit return. I then restarted the computer and now all screenshots are put in the "screens" folder. If you want to use a different folder you just need to put the path in the command. The easy way to get an accurate path, without depending on your ability to type flawlessly, is type the command, then after typing the space following "location" just drag and drop the folder you want to use into Terminal. The path will automagically be filled in, hit the return key, then either restart or log out and back in (simply relaunching Finder won't do it).

PI 7.1 - Getting the Communication Party from the document

Hello,
In XI 3.0 when I made a Receiver Determination I was able to use "/p1:<document>/<field>" to pull in the Communication Party and Component (Service).
In PI 7.1 I am getting an error when I try to use / or : in the Receiver Determination.
Does anyone know how I can call fields from my document from my Receiver Determination in PI 7.1?
Thanks,
Matt

You need to use the drop menu for Communication Party and select "Extended". Although the result is the same as manually entering the fields it does not give the error when you use the drop menu.
Thanks,

Which interface to use to get the bleed parameters from existing document

Hello,
I have an Indesign document having a page with the bleed parameters set and I have to create new pages with the same bleed values.
Which is the interface that I should use to get the bleed values from existing page and set the same to the new pages.
I used a few interfaces given in API support doc, but I am not able to get the bleed values using them. I used GetBleedBox() of INewDocCmdData interface without success.
Can anybody tell me a proper way to use this interface to get the bleed values and then set those values or is there another more relevant interface?
Thank you.

A "genius" at an Apple store told me to delete the photos from my documents folder and trash them and I would still be able to keep them in iPhoto. Now I cannot use the photos other than in the iPhoto file. Can this be undone?

How can I retreive deleted iPhotos which were deleted from the documents and trash files? I stupidly did this because a "genius" from Apple Store assured me that I would still have access to the photos.

Check iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to see if it's set to a referenced or managed library;
If it's set to a referenced library you photos are gone.
If that's the case they might be able to be recovered with a file recovery app like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. It will run in demo mode so you can see if it can recover your photos before having to purchase it. Use the iMac as little as possible till them so as not to overwrite them.
If it's set to a managed library launch iPhoto with the Option+Command keys held down and rebuild the library's databse file.
What verson of iPhoto and system are you running?

How to get one column value from a DOCUMENT TYPE attribute

Hi,
I have created a DOCUMENT TYPE attribute which queries from a table and all the column values( For Ex: Customer Name, Contact Name and Address) are displayed in the message body.
I want one column value(For Ex: Customer Name) to be displayed in the SUBJECT of the message.
How can this be done? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Matt. I have used SETITEMATTRTEXT to get a single column value into an ITEM ATTRIBUTE.
Please see the following procedure...
==========================================================
PROCEDURE MisNotifyDataDesk(
     itemtype IN VARCHAR2
     , itemkey IN VARCHAR2
     , actid IN NUMBER
     , funcmode IN VARCHAR2
     , resultout OUT VARCHAR2
     ) IS
p_Cart_Id               VARCHAR2(30);
p_ORG_NAME                     VARCHAR2(360);
BEGIN
     IF funcmode != WF_ENGINE.ENG_RUN THEN
          wf_log_pkg.string(5,'Notify_Cust_Data_Desk','Not in RUN mode');
     RETURN;
     END IF;
p_Cart_Id := WF_ENGINE.GetItemAttrText ( itemtype => itemtype
, itemkey => itemkey
, aname => 'CART_ID' );
p_code_position := 10;
     SELECT
          ORG_NAME
     INTO
          p_ORG_NAME
     FROM
          MISIBE_END_CUST_DETAILS
     WHERE
          QUOTE_HEADER_ID = p_Cart_Id;
-- For TEXT BODY
WF_ENGINE.SETITEMATTRTEXT(itemtype => itemtype , itemkey => itemkey , aname => 'ORG_NAME',avalue => p_ORG_NAME);
resultout := WF_ENGINE.ENG_COMPLETED||':'||CUST_DATA_CHECK(p_Cart_Id);
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
          WF_CORE.context (
          'WFCustCheck',
          'MisNotifyDataDesk',
          itemtype,
          itemkey,
          TO_CHAR(actid),
          funcmode,
          SQLERRM
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20005, SQLERRM);
===========================================================
I am using &ORG_NAME in the body and subject of my message. But the value is
not retrieved into the ITEM ATTRIBUTE when I run my process. It is just displaying in the message and the subject of hte message as "&ORG_NAME"
CUST_DATA_CHECK used in the resultout, is a function which returns 'T' or 'F'. That part is working fine. Just retrieving the ORG_NAME in the ITEM ATTRIBUTE is not working.
Am I going wrong somewhere? Please let me know.

How to get previous 2 months from current date in a dropdown?

Hello Experts ,
In the application which I am developing, there is a requirement wherein , I want to Populate current month and previous two month in a drop down depending upon today's date. please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Pratbha Shukla

The internal format for dates is yyyymmdd. Therefore you can just grab the month value from the date:
data lv_month type FCMNR.
lv_month = lv_date+4(2).
Just subtract from the month to get the two previous.
data lv_previous1 type FCMNR.
data lv_previous2 type FCMNR.
if lv_month = 1.
lv_previous1 = '12'.
else.
lv_previous1 - lv_month - 1.
endif.
if lv_previous1 = 1.
lv_previous2 = '12'.
else.
lv_previous2 - lv_previous1 - 1.
endif.
Then do your lookup for the month name by reading the table returned from function module MONTH_NAMES_GET.

How do I get a file path from my Document?

Hi,
I encountered a very strange problem with absolute and relative file paths.
Getting to the point:
Myfolder ---> MainPage.pdf
Subfolder---> Project.pdf
SubsubFolder ---> Search.pdf
So we have Myfolder with the Mainpage.pdf , from there I use a bookmark to go the Subfodler and use bookamarks to browse throu the Project.pdf and then I go even deeper when i want to use the search.query to get items from the Search.pdf which is in the Subsubfolder
So my path looks like:
Ofc the search type is boolean
search.query("MyTxt","Folder","../Myfolder/Subfolder/Subsubfolder");
And here's the problem - it does not work on every computer.
So the question is, how can i get the filepath from MainPage and use it in my search.query to avoid this problem?
Any suggestions are welcome!

You can use the "split" method of the string object to get the path into an an array and then combine all but the last element.
// get full path and file name
var cPath = this.path;
// split ful path into an arrayl
var aPath = cPath.split("/");
// build the directory path
var cDir = "";
// loop through the array omitting first and last elements
for(i = 1; i < aPath.length - 1; i++) {
cDir = cDir + "/" + aPath[i];
} // end of building directory path
console.println("Directory path: " + cDir);
