How to customize or create new file menu items in Adobe Illustrator CS 6?

Hi all,
I have developed a script to perform some Custom action in Illustrator. I want to make this script run from a a File Menu Item so it can be invoked easily. Is there a way to customize Illustarator to add a new menu item or modify the existing menu tems functions. For example if the script needs to be invoked when the user click "Save" is there a way that could be done.
Thanks

Thanks Mark,
When you mean by limited menu location does it mean a plugin could be added under "File" as options or AI only allows it under "Window" where you launch the plugins from normally.

How do I edit and create new Spry2 menu items?

I have manged to use adobe air to style and insert a spry2 menu - looks OK
However,I do not undestand how to edit the menu items
i.e. creating new menu items and adding new sub menu items
On spry1 it was easy - just click the top of the menu and a wizard appeared at the bottom of the page
The spry2 menu icon seems to be unclickable/greyed out?
Can anyone help
[email protected]

Thanks for the reply - I already thought of that and I can edit the menu using code view (although I am not sure how you would 'see the sub menus in design view?) but I was wondering if spry2 has the same time saving wizard in the properties panel (as Spry1) that simplifies and speeds up the process?
To restate the question: I can see a spry2 menu icon in the properties panel but it doesn't do anything as it's greyed out.
Is there an option in dreamweaver (or adobe air which styles the menu) that makes a menu wizard work in the properties panel?
If not then I guess I have to do it in code view - very tedious!?

Create new sub-menu item....how???

Hi,
I have a site created with Dreamweaver templates.
I can create a new page from a template but i want to make
the page a sub-menu page.
For instance i have an 'about us' page and from this 'about
us' page i want to create a sub page. None os these areas have been
locked but i can't find a way to do it.
Is it possible?
am i missing something?
Any tutorials anywhere?
Thanks for any help

You'll probably want to make any menu changes (since the menu
may be an element that is present on all your pages...hence the use
of a template) in the non-editable regions in Dreamweaver, then
uploade the template and do a template update in Contribute
(Edit-->Format-->Template
Properties-->Apply-->OK-->Publish).
As a rule, your menu/navigation should be laid out in the
template prior to using the template to create new pages (not
exactly sure what you mean by "sub pages"). In other words, your
template navigation/menu determines the main navigation you want
available on EVERY page you create with the template. If you then
create a new page in Contribute using the template, you're free to
create links (in the editable regions) to any page you want
(existing or new), including pages that are already linked-to in
the menu.
Hope this helps!

Is it possible in KM to change "create new file" dialog?

Is it possible in KM to change "create new file" dialog (Folder -> New -> Text File...) on consecution of my own screens(I mean user inputs information, presses next button, then again inputs information and so on)? And if its possible, could you please tell me how to do this. I'm new to KM as well as to SAP EP...

Hi Aliaksei,
the PDF referred to mainly explains how to configure commands (within layout sets etc), but as far as I understand your question, you want to develop your own screenflows / command. First, I definitely would disadvise a beginner in the EP/KM area to start with such a task...
Anyhow, there is a one-step-screenflow-command tutorial on SDN: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/implementing flexible ui one-step-screenflow.article
For more steps, you could start decompiling a command class of a command which is more or less similar to your needs (and the underlying classes) to get further insight.
If you really should get that far and have implemented your own command, you just can switch the implementation class if you want to change the logic for an existing command under System Admin - System Config - KM - CM - UI - Commands - UI Commands - <command in question> Java Class setting.
Hope it helps

I cannot create new file (.xslx) inside a folder with right click.

I work with excel 2007 in window 7. Usually I create new files (.xlsx) by right click while I am inside a folder. But recently I have lost this opportunity. Now whenever I open a folder and want to create a new file (either .xlsx or .doc) I right click
there. But there I find neither excel file icon nor word file icon. Power point, Access, Publisher file icons can be found there at that time. I do not know how I have lost the opportunity. Being failed to create files inside a folder now I go to start button
or office button to create a new file.
But I want to have the previous opportunity so that I can create a new file (excel or word) while I am visiting inside a folder. Is it possible? Thank, Nurul Amin.

Hi,
I would agree with Repair step provided by Robert, this will rewrite all the registry keys into the computer. Please have a try and let us know the result.
Also, another quick way to rewrite all the registry keys and reregister the product is to run the problematic Office applications with "/regserver" switch:
Press Win + R and type "winword.exe /regserver" or "Excel.exe /regserver" in the blank box, then press
Enter.
You might also want to give this a try.

How to use Open/Create/Replace File.vi

How to change Open/Create/Replace File.vi to Open File?

Use the routine Write Characters to File.vi found under the File IO palette. It has a boolean control on the front panel. If this is set true, data is appended to the end of an existing file, or a new one is created if the file doesn't exist. If the control is set to false, the file is always created new--overwriting any existing file with the same name.

Go-OpenOffice Writer Will Not Create New File

I'm having a problem with go-openoffice writer, where it is unable to create a new file. If I open writer directly, a file appears for a split second on my screen and then disappears. This also happens if I attempt to create a new file from withing an already existing file. Strangely, I can open already existing files, just not create new ones.
I tried uninstalling and resinstalling go-openoffice, but this didn't help. Any thoughts on what might be going on? Thanks.

Yes that's my problem. I can't open an empty writer window. If I execute writer from the Gnome applications menu or from a terminal, I see the window for a split second and then it disappears, as if something is immediately closing the window the moment it opens. This also happens if I use the create new file command in the file menu, from an existing Writer file. This is not a problem with other Ooo apps. Base, Calc, Draw, Impress, Math all open new files fine. Only writer has the problem.
As a completely cumbersome work around, I can open an existing file, use save-as to create another file, and then delete it's contents.

How to add support for new file type.

Using the ESDK, I would like to add support for new file type ( a new extension). this new extension will function like any other non visual code editor but will have specific syntax highlighting, code folding and explorer.
I am trying ot figure out if I need to create a new editor or use existing JDeveloper code editor and add support for new file type. Does anyone have a high level outline on how to do this using the ESDK that is specifically targeted at adding new file type support for a text based code editor?
I have looked at the Samples and keep going in multipe directions. It would be cool if there was an example that was how add syntax higlighting for new file type.
Thank you

Brian, thank you. I looked at this extension and it answered a lot of questions for me. I was going in the right direction but needed a little help and bost of confidence, this is just what I needed. I created the LanguageSupport, LanguageModel, Addin, Node and TextDocument that are specific to the new file type. I was getting hung up on how to hook this into the JDevelpoer editor. I keep thinking I have to create a custom editor but it looks like I don't have to and it looks like I can associate this file support with the editor framwork, for version 10.1.3.2, with the following in the Addin Initilize() method.
Recognizer.mapExtensionToClass(MY_EXTENSION, MyNode.class);
CodeEditor.registerNodeType(MyNode.class, MY_EXTENSION);
LanguageModule.registerModuleForFileType(new MyLanguageModule(), MY_EXTENSION);
I have done this but still not able to recognize the new file type.
At this point, I just want to be able to recognize the new file and display it's associated icon or display a messare to the message log. I put a System.out.println("test") in the Initilize() method of my addin. then I registered MyAddin in the extension.xml. JDeveloper sees this new extension and it is loaded but I have not been able to show the test message or display the new icon when I open the new file type.

Sure there can. Don't you see the input on the Express VI for a file? "Path To Save Report" is the name of the input you want.

I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wrong?

Good to know — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
"Adobe" is the name of the company.
"XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
"Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both?
Be well....

Create an context menu item to open a file on a specific display

Hello,
I have an external display connected to my MBP, but I don't always need to use it so it's not always on. I'd like to have a way to open a file (or application) on a specified display on a case by case basis. I know that I can assign an application to open on a specific display by right-clicking on the app in the dock and selecting options->assign to. The problem with this is that it's a global change. When I'm working on school work, I usually like to have reference material (pdfs, wepages, etc) open on the external display while I'm working in Word on the MBPs monitor.
What I'd like to be able to do is right click on the file (or app) and use a context menu item to open the item on a specific display. Does anyone know of an automator action/applescript/terminal command to create a context menu item like this?
Thanks.

I use "Open Terminal Here" script for that:

I keep getting write errors (-50) when I try to create new files or folders on my Gen 5 Airport Extreme USB disk.

Write errors (-50) when I try to create new files or folders on my Airport Extreme USB disk. Restarting the Airport Extreme seems to solve the issue. Any idea why this occurring? It doesn't seem to be OS specific, meaning I can't write to the drive from a Windows PC or a MacBook Pro.

Although, I would consider it rare, it is quite possible that this drive is just not 100% compatible with the AirPorts. Typically, in these cases, the AirPort will not even recognize the drive at all ... or it will, but not allow you to access it. I actually haven't come across a case where you can read but not write to a drive consistently or vice versa ... except from Windows-based computers. Sorry!

Cannot open files or create new files in Photoshop cc trial

Hi,
after getting no support from your phone support line. I am writing here in hopes that this issue can be resolved. I cannot open files or create new files in Photoshop CC trial. Please help

You can open Photoshop, you cannot create new documents. If you click file>new, the normal new dialog box opens, if you click "ok" it goes away. If you double click a PSD it focuses the Photoshop window. Nothing else happens.
For me this is a new issue today. My computer is an i7/780, more than capable of Photoshop, and has run it fine up until now. My keyboard started freaking out last night and doing things I didn't want it to. I suspect it changed a setting or broke something.
I have uninstalled and re-installed and it did not resolve the issue.
This is obviously a critical issue that needs immediate attention.
