How to automatically update links

I used to be able to edit a photo (by alt-clicking to open it in photoshop - then saving it) and when I would go back to InDesign and the link would update itself immediately. Now it doesn't update itself without me going to the links pallete and telling it to update. Is there a preference somewhere so that it will automatically update the link again? I need that efficiency!
Thank you!

There is no automatic way of updating bookmarks that I am aware of. Can you not create bookmarks that avoid the numbering as they will not be seen by users.

How to automatically update products and product categories?

Hi friends
How to automatically update products and product categories.Is it possible?
regards
venkat

Hi,
The delta load does not work for product categories but only products.So to bring in the new product categories into SRM you will need to start the load of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.
The CRM middleware allows the following two methods for replication.
-Initial loads:
Launched manually (R3AS), the objects (customizing or business) are replicated between SRM and R/3, according to the filters you've put on the object (R3AC1 for Business objects like MATERIAL, R3AC3 for customizing objects like DNL_CUST_PROD0 and 1).
-Delta loads:
This option is only possible for Business objects, which is the case of MATERIAL.
With this option a daemon is launched between the 2 servers. Every modification made on an object on SRM or R/3 is transfered as soon as this object is contained in the filter retrictions (creation and/or modification). this is done through transaction R3AC4.
Also refer the foll thread:
Material group from R/3 to COMM_CATEGORY (SRM)

How to automatically update Smart LINKED Object

Hi.
This is my first post here, I'm French, so excuse any English mistake i may do.
I'm not an artist / designer / ..., still new about using image software editing like photoshop.
So i downloaded Photoshop CC to try it because i wanted to do something on my spare time.
I want to render digitaly a card collection based on a online Collectible Card Game (Duel of champions if you wanna know).
For this I downloaded their card art from their site.
Then i want to add several effect / filter to render them nicely.
So i read and watch many tutorial in this purpose.
I ended with a good result for 1 card.
Here is an example :

For this I downloaded their card art from their site.
Then i want to add several effect / filter to render them nicely.
So i read and watch many tutorial in this purpose.
I ended with a good result for 1 card.
Here is an example :
So what i did :
I get a source card art image, adding its red border, embossed it to get relief, adding a gloss effect in 3 different layers (the card art, the border and the gloss effect). Than i duplicate all this layers, swap them vertically and moved down to get a reflection.
I added a gradient to this new group of layers to have a nice fading effect to the reflection.
As I do not want to redo all the process again and again if I change main the source card Art, I want the reflexion to automatically update.
This was done using Smart object, both main source card Art and the (vertically swapped) reflexion card art using the same object storing my different main source card art.
So when i change in this object the main source card art used, it automatically change both the rendered card and its corresponding reflexion.
And then i Added a displacement filter to simulate a water reflection.
And the first problem (solved by now) occurred :
If i want to apply a filter to the group of layers corresponding to the rendered reflexion card, Photoshop have to convert and merged the whole group of layers into another new smart object and then apply a smart filter onto it. That worked but i lost the auto updating of the reflexion as the previous conversion have made Photoshop create in fact a whole new duplicated object storing a my different main source art.
So i partially resolved This by using Smart LINKED object instead of Smart object. I say partially because it is not really fully automated anymore.
Now if I change the main Source card Art to render a new one, I have to "manually" save file / update smart object to get the reflection updated.
I kinda accelerate this using a action performing a batch of saves to get a "save all" options (that clearly miss in photoshop). But for this i still have to open all my smarted linked object in order to apply the "Save All" batch.
But know I want to generalize the process to cards left, and render my whole card collection.
So i created a template based on what i've done so far using in this template Smart LINKED Object for the Main source card art and the reflected one. By the Way I exported the Reflection group in a PSD file, and refered to it as another Smart LINKED Object in my template. Doing so i'm sure Photoshop no more use a temporary PSB object correspond to the converted / merged reflexion Smart Object (remember : created in order to apply a smart Filter on it).
So what Happen now ?
I create a new testing psd file in witch i embed several new smart objects each one is an occurence to my template. Here i have to used smart Object and NOT smart LINKED Object because if so i'll always end up with the same rendered card several times. I have to get Phososhop create it own temporary duplicated object so a modification to one don't affect all the others after "Save All" batch on the corresponding working card.
So with what I have now, if I want to change 1 of the rendered card, i go its corresponding (duplicated) template object and from there i access again my LINKED object storing all my main source card Art.
I change to what source card art I want, and I have to open the reflection smart LINKED Object too in order to apply the "SAve All" batch.
Here is the "fun" (issue) thing : I have to apply the batch 3 time in a row to have the rendered card changed in my main testing psd file. I suppose saving 3 time time propagated the change along the Smart LINKED Object chain.
AND I have to make sure ONLY the corresponding smart (LINKED) Object file are opened before. If another file from a different rendered card is opened too the change will also be propagated to it and so having a duplicated rendered card. (I only want each card rendered once, but using the same template to avoid repetitive work).
So I explained in detail, but maybe not clearly, my situation and the step i went through.
TLDR
To summarize : I have a collections of Card art (jpeg).
I created a Template applying effect to render 1 card.
I created another template appliying same effect to render 1 REFLECTED card.
In both i use the same Smart LINKED Object that Store my collection on Card Art.
I make another Smart LINKED Object in the first template that reference the second one.
So with my first template I can update the rendered card and its rendered reflexion after changing the main source card art in the subsequent smart LINKED Object that store my whole cards art. I have to had all corresponding Smart LINKED Object file OPENED and save them all to have th updated result.
So not really automatic.
Then I want to render my whole card collection with effect and reflexion.
I create in my project a duplicate of my first template for each card to be rendered.
Then I have to open ONLY all subsequent corresponding Smart LINKED(or not) Object file of current working rendered card and change the main source card art, save all the file (several time to propagate change) to properlly update the current rendered card.
I have to do this for EACH of my duplicated template in order to render EACH of my cards.
Definitively not automatic process, and prone to errors.
Do you know a way to fully automatically render my card collection ? The only thing I want to do is chose one time the main source card art for each rendered card.
Finally another way to explain this issue and maybe get an answer is to instead explain simply what I want to do :
I have a collection of (jpeg) card art from an online card game.
I want to render them all with effect (gloss, emboss border, faded and water filtered reflection).
I want to do this automatically.
The only thing i manually want to do is chose the card art to be rendered for each of the card i want to render in my collection.
Here is an image of what i want based on what i've, not automatically, done so far :
Thanks for any help from photophop professional here.

How can I automatically update links to bookmarks that change?

The documentation I am working on currently outputs to WebHelp, Word, and PDF.
The files include numerous equations and figures. I created styles to automatically number these and bookmarked them for linking. It just occurred to me, however, that these figures are likely to change over time. Is there a way to automatically update the links as figures are added or removed?
FWIW, I am using RoboHelp HTML 9.0.2.271 on Windows 7.

There is no automatic way of updating bookmarks that I am aware of. Can you not create bookmarks that avoid the numbering as they will not be seen by users.

InDesign CS6 not automatically updating links

In previous verisons of InDesign, if I select a linked file, then click "edit link" from the links panel, the link will open up in Photoshop or Illustrator or whatever program, and once I edit, save, and close the file, when I switch back to InDesign, the file would automatically update. CS6 is not updating. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue?

I tried trashing the preferences a couple times. No luck. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same problem.
I haven't tried leaving the file open. What I generally do is:
1. From ID, click "edit link".
2. Once the linked file opens, edit as necessary.
3. Save the file, then close it.
4. Switch back to ID and it updates automatically.
I'll see if if works by leaving it open.
It's not the end of the world if it doesn't work. It's just more annoying than anything else.

Automatically updating links in Flash AS2.0

Hi all,
I made a website for a client a while ago, and he came back
now wanting the ability to update his Monthly Newsletters.
This is out of my ability to do. I need some help with
creating a function which (hopefully) will read all files in a
specified folder, and automatically create links in the flash movie
it's self, to open each file inside the specified folder.
Is this even possible?
If not... can anyone suggest other ideas on achieving this?
thanx to all in advance for any help.

All files are in the same directory (relative path) including
the folder (newsletters) which the PHP reads and sends to Flash.
I dont think this is where the problem is.
The permissions...i dont know for sure. Im using Filezilla to
FTP files to the server, which gives me details of permissions on
each files. I dont know how accurate these are tho.
The permissions are the same for all files, ( -rw-rw-rw- )
which im thinking means read and write permissions to the
directory.
But i dont know much about server side tech, and servers in
general. Are there some other permissions that are worth looking
into?
The SWF file where the code is going into, is set up abit
differently to the test file i was using. I originally thought this
might cause the problem.
But i made copies of the files needed (from the site) to the
temp directory i was using to test the PHP reading script. and it
works perfectly. So the problem cant be there either.
I dont know what else to try.

How to automatically update InfoPath Form fields(Design) when a new Column is created in SharePoint list?

Hi All ,
We have a scenario to automatically update the Infopath form(List Form) fields(Field Name and Control) when ever a new Column is created in the SharePoint list. Is it possible to do this? any options or suggestions?
Thanks and Regards,
Nandini

Hi Nandini,
I am not very sure will this be going to help you. Ideally, it's not so easy to communicate with infopath using object model. But still you can give it a try using below link :
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/sharepoint/en-US/00125fdc-2115-47ea-8e8b-1ca9e5942f83/update-infopath-form-field-in-event-receiver
I think the above solution is trying to update the field. Addition to that you can try creating a field and control.
Let me know if it helps !!
Thanks

When Due_Date becomes less than Current Date then VALID field should be automatically updated by 'I'.
How can I do that?
Thanks.Use a TRIGGER or even better have a custom Transaction-API to do the job.And what event causes said trigger to fire?
From what we know so far, the only thing that makes the row "invalid" is the passing of time and the relation of DUE_DATE to SYSDATE. As John said, don't store VALID at all, just calculate it when needed.

Can anyone tell me (if possible?) how to automatically update itunes apps* on computer

I hate having to go in and update manually, so if there IS a way, can someone tell me the steps to do an automatic update of my apps in itunes, I know it can be done on iphone/ipods, but just asking for how to set up itunes to open up and then automatically update APPS, I have it set to update podcasts music etc, but want to update the apps, if NOT possible, Okydoky... I have windows 7 and the latest version of Itunes 10.7.

Currently there is no feature to allow your apps to update automatically in the background. Check for available updates > Update all is the best you can do.

OWB: how can automatic updation perform in staging database using OWB

I am using OWB-etl to fetch data from source database and store to staging db.
in target table operator i am using insert operation.
it is inserting data fien.
but my requirement is target database must be automatically updated with what ever modification made to source data base.
can u pls help me how to achive this ?
Thanks alot ...
k azamtulla khan

Hi,
why do you want to do this using OWB, is it not easier to create a before/after insert/update trigger on source table so that your target table is updated automatically. You can benefit by using owb in scenarios where you need to transform and load data and then schedule this process and for the rest of it i would recommend using triggers for row level activities such as update.

How to automatically update Java without notifications

I just want Java to automatically update in the background - like Windows updates do. Is such a simple thing possible? If so, how?
I understand that techies think it important to be notified. However, I am not a techie, just a regular computer user who is annoyed by continual requests to update Java when I have no reason to say no.
Thank you.

Hello,
There is no way for Java to be updated without some amount of user intervention. If you would like to forgo any dialogs, there is silent install, which requires that you download and run the installer from the command line. You can see more about the silent install here: JRE Installer Options

How to automatic update necessary infotypes at the end in ISR framework

Hi experts,
I want to create a custom PCR scenario based on ISR framework. This scenario will transfer a person from one position to another position. In the normal PCR scenario, the final change of the person's infotype data is done by following-up functions which are defined in the scenario action boxes. These following-up functions require an administrator to login system then mannually choose one following-up function to make the update to the system data. I wonder if it is possible to let the system automatically update the backend system at the end of the execution of ISR scenario. The ISR scenario has a setting called 'Automatic Update', will this help? Or we need to add a step in the PCR workflow to do it? Thanks a lot.

Automating those kind of updates is part of the new HCM Processes and Forms which is in fact a replacment for PCRs. I would look into that if you can.

How do I update linked FM files without losing TOC entries or Map IDs?

Hi,
I'm using RH 10 with linked FM 11 files to create a WebHelp project and this is what happens when I do an update or force update of a linked file in the RH project:
After the update, the topic that contains updated content gets deleted from project TOC in RH.
After the update, any Map IDs assigned to the topic that contains the updated content are deleted.
Can someone please advise how to update a linked file without losing TOC entries or Map IDs?
Thanks a bunch!
Gabe

HI Gabe,
You will want to link the TOC from FM in your conversion settings, and set the map id's via TopicAlias markers in FM.

How to automatically update date and time on Numbers spreadsheet

Would like to have printed version of Numbers spreadsheet reflect present date and time. I know how to do this in Excel, but can't figure out how to get there in Numbers.

Add the date and time to the Header or Footer in the Print Dialog via the Insert menu.
It is only semi-automatic, in that to update the date and time, you must either delete and reinsert the date and time, or you must open the token and update by clicking the Set to Today button.
