Guide sets

I use guides a lot, because I mainly use Photoshop for interface design where pixel-accuracy matters.
Is it not possible to create different sets of guides for different (e.g.) designs in the same document? So that you could make visible one set but hide another? Currently I have all the guides cluttered together and it makes no sense what each guide is.
Better yet would be that guides could simply be created as an layer, that is always super-imposed over the document no matter where it is layered, but is only visible if it is visible either as a layer or as a member of a group. That way I could easily transfer guides between documents.
I think the guide feature has remained the same since Photoshop 1. Maybe Adobe should rethink this.

I would highly suggest you look at the Photoshop Extension called GuideGuide, it stores guide sets sure; but its main purpose is to create new Guide sets very quickly and easily.

Multiple guide sets

In another thread a poster asked about multiple guide sets:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4062904#4062904
It would seem that this should be fairly simple to achieve with writing guides’ properties into the metadata (possibly a dedidcated layer’s xmpMetaData) in sets and subsequently loading them from there.
One could even do just one dialog with an entry field for entering a name when saving a guide set and a dropDownList to load or remove such sets.
So I wonder if anybody either has already done something like this or has a (better) idea on the issue?
Thanks for any feedback.

Just a couple of amendments to it...

Multiple Guide Sets in Photoshop

I've been able to find very little documentation (mostly just user requests) about having multiple guide sets in Photoshop. I really think this would be a useful tool. Has anyone heard anything about this feature (maybe in upcoming versions - can it be done another way)?

J Baloney, did I push a button? First of all, I find it a little silly (and sad) you retracted/edited your original reply to me of "Good luck, level 12 guru. Be sure to look out for my noise in your next post. I'll make sure it's level one for you next time, punk." I don't know... maybe you realized I wasn't talking directly to you or about your replies, or maybe you realized calling me a punk was you just being hypocritical. You see, that's what the phrase "in general" means (that something isn't directly in response to the current conversation or topic). I even said so in what you quoted me as saying in your reply above.
When you opened your reply (actually, it was your edited reply from what I pasted above) with "That's because the majority of your posts are feature requests.", you should have just left it at that.Now that I think about it - how the hell do you know what the majority of my posts are about - are you keeping track? If that's what you think (the majority of my posts...), doesn't it stand to reason I don't need a bunch of replies about possible solutions that (I think) any knowledgeable Photoshop user would have thought about in the first place? If you think about it, by the time you chimed in, I had already said (at least twice) how a series of actions would not benefit my issue. Then you throw in a lesson about how I should "Try reading the responses with the mindset... when they might be wrong" - thanks for the lesson, coach. I don't believe I said any response was "wrong" - I'm pretty sure I only went so far as to say how that particular response was either not really related to the core of the issue or that the response was more of a "band-aid" than a permanent solution (even temporary). I bet you watch CNN because that whole network likes to reword what's said to fit whatever point they are trying to make.
Good luck. Be sure to look out for my noise in your next post. I'll make sure it's level one for you next time, grand master. I've got say I do take delight in knowing that PS employees who cruise
this forum skip over queries with multiple posts, as they take that to
mean it's been answered.
Thank you for proving my point to... the... "T". Not only is it childish of you to claim you are going to follow me around this forum (maybe you already do since you know what the majority of my topics are about) just to add a bunch of "noise" to my posts, you bring up the exact reason I don't want a bunch of people replying with suggestions that (if they would have thought) aren't a future-forward solution. The more time I have to waste in replying (kind of like the time I've wasted with this reply) with how a user's suggestion wouldn't work for me (and I also take the time to explain why), the less likely I'm going to get an answer or suggestion by someone who might actually have either experienced what I am talking about or can read between the lines enough to know what I'm looking for in an answer. I don't come in here looking for a fight or for pointless arguments (even though arguments can sometimes yield in a solution no one would have thought about by being totally nice), but sometimes the arrogance from people (when they are told their answer isn't what I was looking for) takes over the whole post and nothing gets solved. Simply put, your idea/reply just wasn't what I was looking for - not to mention you basically regurgitated what JJMack already said.
Jesus, I think I will just go back to the days I actually talked directly to the software engineers and had a lot of success as part of a group of beta testers - there are several programs out there in which my ideas are a part of (although I haven't done so with Adobe - become a beta tester). People on these forums take things too personal and get their feelings hurt and I end up appearing to be the bad person to others who simply skim the surface in reading some of these posts.
Oh, and what you're really looking for is a grid.
Uh, that would be a "no" - I'm looking for a way to have "multiple guide line sets" (as the topic states) - nothing to do with grids - but good effort [is this what you wanted to hear even though you are way off-topic]?
In case you're not familiar with google. Oops, level one hint dropped. Awww, snap.
Google? What on earth is that? Where would I be able to buy one of those things? Do they have multiple guide line sets I could use?
To close - my analogy [you may have to look up that word] of level 1 and level 12 was not meant to imply I'm any "grand master" or "punk guru". It was to emphasize how some responses I read (from other forums/posts) can sometimes be so out of touch with the actual topic, and as you mentioned, the more responses a topic gets, the less likely the ones who "really" know the answer would be inclined to read the topic. So, if it is your desire to discombobulate [another word for you to look up] me and sabotage my posts by adding your "noise", at least I have it in your writing so I can forward to Adobe forum moderators.
Now, to JJMack
If you want help with available Photoshop versions use the Photoshop Windows, Photoshop Macintosh and Photoshop Scripting Forums.The way I see it your posting to the wrong forum.
I'm not posting in the wrong forum - I think I can discern where my particular issue should go. At the time of my original post, I wasn't requesting for a feature - I was asking if anyone had heard about multiple guide sets and/or if anyone had heard about this being talked about for future releases. Now, if/when I would have been told this was not a current feature and/or they had never heard anyone else talking about it, THEN I would have thought to search for the website to request the function.
Anyway, I'm done with this topic. I will just use 2 separate documents (if needed) in order to have different sets of guide lines. The funny thing is all this time has been wasted on an instance that's only come up one time with me. I just thought there might be an easier way to accomplish my issue for any future needs. I think I will just tell the client "one version only, next"! That's what you call a joke/humor just in case you read that wrong too.

Indesign CC crashes when I select the rectangle frame tool?? Its a custom page, tabloid with guides set.

My indesign crashes when I select the rectangle frame tool. Does it matter if its a custom doc set as a tabloid and guide lines? I have a project due and all I'm trying to do is add a picture I took.

[VPN] [GUIDE] Setting up nordvpn with systemd

Since I haven't seen specific guide to setting up nordvpn for archlinux with systemd, I thought I should write them up what I have done. This might be useful for those unfamiliar with systemd. Simply connecting with provided *.ovpn file do not update the DNS correctly and the command
sudo systemctl start [email protected] do not work.
1. Follow nordvpn's connecting with shell instruction at https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/linux/linux-openvpn/ and make sure you can manually connect by typing:
sudo openvpn vpn_at_nordvpn_tcp.ovpn
2. Create unit systemd for a server
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/nordvpn.service
[Unit]
Description=OpenVPN connection to yourovpn.ovpn
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/openvpn --cd /etc/openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/yourovpn.ovpn --daemon [email protected] --writepid /run/[email protected]
PIDFile=/run/[email protected]
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
replace yourovpn with the desired server.
For whatever reason, the following modified /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected] do not work.
[Unit]
Description=OpenVPN connection to %i
[Service]
Type=forking
#ExecStart=/usr/bin/openvpn --cd /etc/openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/%i.conf --daemon openvpn@%i --writepid /run/openvpn@%i.pid

PIDFile=/run/openvpn@%i.pid
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
3. The DNS was not updated. So use the guide from the wiki and add these to your .ovpn file
# auto update /etc/resolv.conf
script-security 2
up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf.sh
down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf.sh
the shell script is found at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maste … lv-conf.sh
One issue I found is that you do not get that "Initialization Sequence Completed" to indicate a successful vpn connection. I had to either google my public ip address or type:
ip addr show | grep tun0
Any feedback or improvisations are appreciated.

Pls help - Thunderbird still can't recognise my new email - have followed online guides + set MX records but still can't get TB to recognise - spent over a day

Hi,
I am trying to set up my new business email account (3rd party - netregistry from Australia) [email protected] onto my Thunderbird account.
I have new domain with wordpress exploreyogatravel.com
Trying to get new email onto Thunderbird - have set MX record for netregistry on wordpress. Have manually configured mail account on TB (pop/port/ etc) per netregistry instructions). Have spoken to netregistry on a number of occasions - they now feel it is at the TB or WP end.
TB still can't locate settings for my email account when I manually set up as following and I have wasted so much time on this.
(incoming - pop3 - pop.exploreyogatravel.com - 995 - SSL/TLS - normal password
outgoing - SMTP - smtp.exploreyogatravel.com - 465 - ssl/tls - normal password
username incoming - [email protected] outgoing - same)
Please help what I need to do to get this sorted.
Regards
Mariska

I think your latest issue will reside in your anti virus package.
Disable email scanning. The setup routine tries to connect to the server 8 ways to Sunday to establish the correct settings. The Anti virus program thinks there is mail coming, steps up to the plate and makes a total disaster out of something that was often not all the pretty anyway. To make matters worse, because of the quick fire scanning some then just decide it is malware trying to spam people and blocks it in the firewall.
Next check the firewall (particularly the pesky Norton one if installed) and ensure Thunderbird has full access to the internet. Auto is not sufficient. That is usually what got us where we are, manually fiddling with settings.

Where did all the setting for printing go in PSE8-Mac?!

OK, I'm probably missing some obvious settings somewhere, please tell me after you read my rantings...
I'm using the 'Full Edit' mode, assuming that is important. But the new Print Dialog looks like it has been dumbed down for some one, not sure who, however has it has me completely confused. There are now only three 'steps' for printing. One and two are self explanatory. However...
Step three concerns paper size, image size and several other details. Just for testing, I created a new 4 x 6 inch, 300dpi page and drew some lines. Command-P. Proper printer is selected, select "Letter" as the paper size. 4 x 6 inch appears selected as the "Print size" (I thought that was because of the original page size, but it appears to simply be the default). That is a detail that could easily be over looked by a new user. If the original image is larger than 4 x 6, it will, obviously be either cropped or reduced to fit those dimensions! It seems to me that the "Select Print Size" should automatically assume to be the image size. OTOH, I can see that some people may want to do all their printing on one size of paper. In that case, why not have a preference for the default and let the user change it when they change paper sizes (if they want)?
Now, if the user happens to notice that a new 8 x 10 inch image is going to be printed in a 4 x 6 area, she will now decide to check the other settings available in the pop up menu. OK, there IS an 8 x 10 inch choice. But look, what's this "Custom" choice? Let's investigate...Now this is strange! The defaults there seem to be 1.383 inches for height AND width! Who came up with that weird number?!
Oh, there is a "Scale to Fit Media" check box. Checking that now makes the height and width somewhat closer to reality, they now indicate the pape dimensions. That IS logical, but not extremely helpful, IMHO. By the way, the second time one selects the "Custom" choice, the correct, original image size appeared in the Print size boxes. Although I cannot seem to get those to reappear. Oh well...
My point is, how do these confusing configurations help? Beyond me, anyway.
BTW, the dpi settings all seem to be 'computed' at one less than the number set by the user for an image. For example, a new image page created at 300 dpi shows 299 in the Custom dialog, 150 shows 149, etc. Close, but why not exact? Furthermore, why can't the user select any dpi they choose? Isn't that what the computer if for; calculate what happens to the pixels when they print at a different setting than the image? Sure, the user should be warned that terrible images my result, but if that's what the user wants, let it be done! Who's running this show, anyway? Oh yeah, I remember, now...excuse me for asking, I'm only a paying customer, what do I know?!
Lastly, if one has more than one image open, every single one can easily be printed, accidentally. Why? Because they will all appear in the Print Dialog. Don't you see them? Over there on the left. Yeah, I see them, but why doesn't the image I have in front, the one I'm working on, be the one I probably want to print? Many of the others may simply be images I'm borrowing parts from. Why do the developers think I always want to print every image that might be open? I don't have any idea, either. Sure, there are a couple of ways to prevent this multiple image printing; select the one you don't want to print and use the "minus" button or simply close all those images before going to the Print dialog. Guess what. Using the 'minus' button only works for this printing, the next time you ask to print they will all be there, again. And, what if you aren't really finished using some of those extra images that you closed? Now you get to re-open them all again. Completely unnecessary steps because of poor user considerations/research, in my humble opinion. Again, this is exactly the thing that preferences are made for. Or, put them in the "Edit Guided" mode! Or, better yet, just give me back the old Print dialog! Nice!
Now, I am extremely glad to see that PSE can now remember to keep that stupid Panel bin out of the way! Finally! Three more inches of screen to work with!!! Hooray!! Unfortunately, it still can't remember what the last setting for the jpeg quality was...still defaults to ZERO! Sure, that's the setting I always want to use, it's so much fun letting people try to guess what is in the image...one would think after 8 iterations this could be fixed. One down, umpteen to go. Oh well, what do you want for $80?

Thanks for your listening/reading and I'll take your advice about dropping a note to the developers, but I won't be holding by breath! I doubt that they consider this a real problem. It's really just my ranting!
Your solution is probably the 'fix' they might suggest, anyway. However, I'd rather have the screen space than a list of thumbnails of images I already have open. command-plus and/or minus is a pretty quick way of making it easy to see anything that might be visible. Of course, I'm sure there are other uses for the Project Bin that many find useful. Even though I have a 24" iMac, I rather like using the screen space the way I want, not an arbitrary way that got developed. I just don't see why developers can't program an app to allow every conceivable method of use by every living and future user! LOL!!!
I guess today was the first time I've printed anything since installing 8. I was, quite confused when presented with the new Print interface. Actually, I thought that must be part of the 'Guided' set up which I assume leads one by the hand as much as possible. "Thank you Adobe, but I'm trying to avoid unnecessary contact with strangers right now." LOL! At least I know I didn't miss some setting somewhere.
Thanks! Have a great weekend! And don't get scared too much tonight!

How can I copy guides from one PS CC document to another?

I'm working on multiple files which will all go into a book. I have guides set, but I want to copy these guides to new documents. I have not been able to find the answer, I just find multiple asking the same question. Anybody have any ideas/

The link was for the Photoshop Scripting Forum where you can search the existing threads or ask for help in a new one.
Seems like this should be a simple procedure expecially with so many people making books from photoshop documents.
It is not that complicated if you know a little JavaScript and the Photoshop Document Object Model.
But if you are willing to start from scratch instead of transferring existing guides an Action might also work.

Getting Runtime error while including pdf doc with Form guides.

Hi,
I have urgent requirement where I have to capture the data in the PDF doc   what user enters into the form Guides.
I am trying this on ES2.
I followed the steps what they mentioned at :: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm - >>Creating Guides using LiveCycle Workbench ES2 -> Including the PDF doc with a document.
They mentioned that we have to create form design (pdf) with same data model.. But When i tries to create form design by including the data model .. it is not allowing to me save as pdf and its telling that we have to save as xdp only.   So saved as xdp only and followd all the same steps what they mentioned .. but we are getting error like :::

Hi Han,
The problem might be in path of the resources. Please check the path for the pdf you includes at form guide.

Problem in creating Saved Result Set (SRS) in OBIEE 10.1.3.4

Hi,
We have migrated Siebel Analytincs 7.8.5 to OBIEE 10.1.3.4, and we are now unable to create any SRS from OBIEE though we can create Segment and marketing cache for the segment.
We did the following steps -
1. Unisntall Siebel Analytincs 7.8.5
2. Install OBIEE 10.1.3.4
3. Use MIGRATE tool (sawmigrate) to migrate RPD & WEBCAT
4. We have ALTERed the SRS tables - M_SR_HEADER, M_SR_ACCOUNT (as in OBIEE version there are many new columns have been added)
5. We passed GLOBAL CONSISTENCY in the RPD
6. We followed the steps in the document *"Oracle®Marketing Segmentation Guide Version 10.1.3.4 July 2008"*
7. We created a Saved Result Set Format as instructed in the document - here we are very confused to select the list of columns - we don't know what should be the excat source / format
8. Then we click the SRS create button
9. We got the below error -
Error Codes: QS2QOLYY:GDL67CY9:IHVF6OM7:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC
Error in getting cursor for WorkNode (Id:0)
Authentication Failure.
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLDriverConnectW).
*State: 08004. Code: 10018. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: 08004] [nQSError: 10018] Access for the requested connection is refused. [nQSError: 43001] Authentication failed for Administrator in repository Star: invalid user/password. (08004)*
Can anyone help us to resolve the issue ?
A quick response is much much appreciated.
Many Thanks,

Hi,
It seems like you didnt setup the Administrator user for Saved Result Sets as it mentioned in the Marketing Segmentation Guide.
Here is an extract from the guide:
Setting Up the Web Administrator for Managing Cache and Saved Result Sets
Some queries issued by the segmentation engine require the use of the Execute Physical stored
procedure. These queries include delete statements on the cache, delete statements on the saved
result sets, and insert statements for the cache and saved result set. The Execute Physical stored
procedure must be run by a user with administrator privileges. The administrator user is set up in
the instanceconfig.xml file.
NOTE: The BI Administrator password and login parameters are case sensitive.
To set up the administrative user in the instanceconfig.xml file
1 Open a command shell and navigate to the <OracleBI>/web/bin, where <OracleBI> represents
the root directory of the installation.
2 Execute the following command:
cryptotools credstore -add -infile <OracleBIData>/web/config/credentialstore.xml
3 When prompted, enter the following values:
Credential Alias: admin
Username: Administrator
Password: <enter Admin password here>
Do you want to encrypt the password? y
Passphrase for encryption: <password >
Do you want to write the passphrase to the xml? n
File "<OracleBIData>/web/config/credentialstore.xml" exists. Do you want to overwrite it? y
4 Open the credentialstore.xml file and verify that the following section has been created:
<sawcs:credential type="usernamePassword" alias=“admin">
<sawcs:username> Administrator </sawcs:username>
<sawcs:password>
<xenc:EncryptedData>

New External Back-Up Drive PC Formatted - What Re-Format Setting?

Hi,
Using Snow Leopard after upgrading from a G4 OS 10.4.6 (or something. New stuff.
Setting up *Time Machine*. Bought a Seagate Free Agent USB 2, 1.5tb drive that comes pre-formatted for the PC (MS DOS (FAT)) along with utilities and such -- for the PC.
I went into Disk Utility and was going to *re-format it to Mac*. But there are several choices and I'm not sure which to select:
Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Mac OS Extended
Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled)
Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive)
*Which should I choose?*
Question 2:
And is there a *brief explanation of each* somewhere and what each is for?
Thanks.

as Niel said, use mac os extended journaled. but also make sure that the partition scheme is GUID. it's MBR right now. select the whole drive (model, not name) in disk utility and click on the partition tab. set the number of partitions to 1 (or whatever), click on options and set the partition scheme to GUID. set the format to mac os extended journaled and click "apply".

Acrobat 9.5.5 does not keep preferences Setting Page & Ruler Units to Centimeters on Win7

Hi,
I have Win7 Pro x64 and i have problem with Acrobat 9.5.5 Standard Polish.

I tried to repair my installation, and change default language to another, it doesn't work.
Maybe can i make some changes in registry?

Change dpi for Ruler Guides

Hello.
I'd like to use exact size in dots when making layout for my document.
Ruler Guide set to "px" displays pixel values for 72dpi, but I'll print the document in 300dpi. I'd still like to measure dots exactly, is there a way to change Ruler Guide pixels to 300dpi?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick replies.
What I'm trying to do is to print enlarged pixel art illustrations, which are very low resolution images that are meant to be enlarged.
The problem is, when we enlarge those low-res images, their new size must be exactly divisible by their original size. Let's say, if I have 7x7 picture (I know it's too small, just for the sake of example), it should have 14x14, 21x21 or maybe 70x70 frame, but not 22x22, since this will lead to scaling artifacts. The artifacts are only visible if you look very closely (or, alternatively, look from far away), but it appears that they are able to mess with pixel patterns slightly.
In other words, each pixel art enlarged "pixel" should ideally have the same size in real dots, or else there'll be some approximations, which are harmful to clean pixel art. Not neccesarily, but it'd be cool.
So, if it's possible, I'd like to define exactly how much points on print will the frame take in any given dpi (300 dpi is just an example).
Eugene Tyson is pretty close with what I wanted to do. But it'd be even greater to position Ruler Guides using real points in their X and Y coordinates for given dpi, not only 72 dpi (otherwise I'll have to count all those grids manually). I guess that's impossible?
Thanks.

How can you tell if guides are locked?

It sure would be nice if I could tell at a glance if my guides are locked. Is this something I've missed?
(Please don't tell me to go to View > Guides > Lock Guides. I know that. I want to know if I can tell Illustrator to display the locking status of the guides in some control panel.)

Selected guides should become light blue when they're selected. My guides are using the default color of cyan and the guide on the right is selected in the image below.
If you have your guides set to the light blue selection inside the Guides Color drop down menu then you won't see a difference because that specific light blue is the color the guide changes to when it's selected. You can also click on the swatch in the Guides and Grids preferences to select any color you want from a color picker.

Setting up icloud in outlook for mac 2011

I have tried to set up my iCloud email account in Outlook for Mac 2011. Incoming works fine. Outgoing doesn't. I have trawled over the support pages for the correct outgoing server info but on using the settings I am no further on. I did see a post by someone who had found the same problem and copied the settings that Mail uses which seems to be different for incoming than Apples recommendations. (but thats not a problem for me!) and unfortunately the outgoing in the Mail settings for my iCloud account simply shows "iCloud" so I am none the wiser!
Can anyone help? Incidentally my icloud account for email works fine on my iPhone and iPad.
thanks
Mikul

Can anyone help on this please?
Please note that Microsofts instructions (in the link you posted) are incorrect, it will never work if you follow those directions.
