How to make "show all menu items" permanent?

Does anyone know a preference setting in CS4 to make "show all menu items" enabled all the time? I use certain menu items regularly which require the extra step of chosing "show all menu items" before they will appear in the menu. I would love to change this irriating setting. I have searched preferences over and over and I know there must be one that addresses it, but I cannot spot it.

The essentials workspace should show all the menu items:
Window>Workspace>Essentials.
If you want a different layout or to add panels to the workspace, rearrange/add
to the workspace (panels) and then save a new workspace under a different name.
Window>Workspace>Save Workspace.

Show All Menu Items - On all the time - PSCS4

I must be missing something because I'm sure Adobe would make a way to keep this feature on all the time. But I've been through the preferences and can't find it. Maybe someone can help me.
How can I make Photoshop CS4 Show All Menu Items - All the time?
It slows me down and frustrates me having to keep clicking on this each time I need the full menu, which is pretty much all the time.

> Workspaces contain more than just the menus to display. If you just want to control just the menu items, go to Window> Workspace> Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus... Here you can choose 'Photoshop Defaults' from the Set: pull down on the Menus tab.
> 'Essentials' is used Suite wide and may make more sense in some of the other products. Unfortunately, Ps was burdened with 'Essentials' and 'Basic' (effectively antonyms) in the process.
Thank you Steve.

Show All Menu Items -designed by idiots for idiots?

[rant]
Which idiot or idiots thought of that in CS4?
Same annoyance in my old XP office but at least you could set it to always show full menus. I had to move to CS4 after CS3 didn't like Win7 (no problem with that as it's beta) but I was shocked to find my opened images now seem to go left to right rather than right to left. Not sure of the technical description but the close 'x' has moved. And WTF is a 'floating document window' and why has it completely changed my user experience with Photoshop? It's horrible and totally different to CS3.
"Show All Menu Items" is the worst thing of all. It's not done by the same numpties who did this forum is it? I notice tight/click paste doesn't work here either. I have to CTRL/V. And where's 'preview message'?
I think the designers have run out of ideas and have to find something to do or are they all the people Microsoft dumped after the Vista Wow?
Other than those complaints I still love Photoshop but -please- get rid of the "Show All Menu Items". Just show me the bloody options that have always been there.

Big thank you to Zeno Bokor -that solved it in 1 second
I think I've had PS for almost 7 years and it's a wonderful program. I don't mind technical changes or improvements but they really need to test things a bit more. Messing about with something as simple as a menu (which is after all just a menu) is the height of stupidity. They should learn from Windows 7. A fantastic OS compared to the horrible Vista. Why did they get it right this time? They listened to their customers. Windows 7 opens CS4 (and CS3 -it does work just a bit of hassle) like a Notepad file. It's very quick, has never crashed and works very very well. I have noticed some other changes (apart from the annoyances) but I'm not a particulaly heavy user and everything else I went for in the GUI was there 9or was easily found).
Adobe need to concentrate on getting the program to work and work well and stop messing around with the interface. And why is there no real working official fix for CS3 and CS4 with Windows7? W7 is not a beta like some strange little fan ap for Linux -it is your next paymaster. Yes, technically, it may be in beta but I've been using it for months (it's still free to use and download until March 2010) and it's a very very popular application. Many people who use W7 also use Photoshop. Instead of Adobe's development team thinking of ways to annoy paying customers maybe they should fix CS3/4 so it works fully in W7? You think that would be a good idea?
Anyway, I'm glad Show All Menu Items™ is fixed but I still have multiple images being opened/loaded to the left instead of the right. So when I go to close or edit I keep going to the wrong side (maybe I installed the Arabic version? ). This sort of thing is not easy to Google or search for a fix because I and I assume 1000s of others have no idea why it would have changed in the first place.
Photoshop is a great application but cut the crap ideas and fancy menus. And, get your finger out and fix CS3/4 fully for W7.
Thanks again

How to hide/show a menu item?

Hi,
Pls suggest how to do this:
There is one book( say "one") and one page (say "two") on the portal, which are displayed to user as menu items.
The book has two pages ( say 'a' and 'b'), which are shown in the menu dropdown of "one". I want to show the menu item "two" only if the user selects 'a' and hide it when select 'b'.
meny item 'b' is a page with one portlet.
Pls suggest.
thanks

You can implement this with backing files.

How to make "Show All" folders the default in Finder

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and I'm having a lot of problems customizing my Finder folders to my liking. I love the new "Arrange By..." function, but the only thing that's bothering me is having to manually click "Show All" for my folders and files every time. Is there any way of making this the default setting?
If not, is there an alternative way for keeping my folders locked in a set order? For example if I have the a main folder and within it are the subfolders "Art" "Music" "Photos" "Misc" can I have them so they always show up in that order and won't rearrange themselves everytime I add new files into the folder?
I hope that question makes sense.
I am referring to that Show All button just to be clear

Show all menu options won't stay. . .

I've opened, changed to "show all menu items" closed, reopened, and still when I want to place something, I have to click down at the bottom to show that option... why won't it stay there like the earlier versions? I'm using CS3.0.4.
Thanks

Close all menu item appearing by itself?

hello,
something strange is happening in my project. in my file menu in ib underneath the standard close command the command "close all" is appearing by itself. i do have my own project specific menu items in this file menu but i have not previously had this problem. i'm assuming something is triggering this but i can't figure it out. all of the keyboard shortcuts/connections appear to be fine. again i have not inserted this close all, it's appearing on it's own. any thoughts on how to make it go away?
thank you,
rick

hi again,
sorry for not being more clear. it's a mac app. and yes the issue is in interface builder. in my file submenu in interface builder all i have is the standard close menu item (connected to performClose) along with some of my own app specific menu items. but now all of a sudden below the close menu item appears a close all menu item which i have not inserted. it actually doesn't show in interface builder unless i run simulate interface. it also shows if i build and run the app. but when actually editing the menu in ib it doesn't show (which makes sense because i didn't put it there). at some point something must have happened to cause it to appear, but i can't figure out what? what i'm looking for now is a way to make it go away...
thanks again for your help,
rick

How to position your script menu item

Hello,
How do you position your menu item in the right place.
I want to create a new type of document.
How do I get my menu item under the New sub menu.
Thanks.
P.

The MenuItem add function shows you how:
MenuItem add (associatedMenuAction: MenuAction[, at: LocationOptions=LocationOptions.AT_END][, reference: MenuElement][, withProperties: Object])
so all it takes is telling it to add yours LocationOptions.AFTER the New menu item.

How can i show the first item in the list as selected item

Aslam o Alikum (Hi)
Dear All
How can i show the first item in the list as selected item when user click on the list. Right now when user click the list the list shows the last item in the list as selected or highlighted. Furthermore if the list item have large no of value and a scroll bar along with it then the list scroll to last item when user click it with mouse. I want that when user click the list item with mouse list should show the first item as highlighted.
Take Care
Allah Hafiz

Hi!
You can set list "initial value" using When-Create-Record trigger.
I.g.
:<Block_name>.<list_item_name> := Get_List_Element_Value('<Block_name>.<list_item_name>', 1);

Premiere Elements 8 new install - all menu items grayed out

New install of premiere elements 8. Installed 8.0.1 patch successfully. Installed Quicktime.
SYSTEM
Windows 7 64-bit
Dell Inspiron 660
8 GB RAM
1 TB hard drive, 700 GB available after install
All menu items are greyed out except for File | New, Open, Exit and some Help menu items. Will create a project but then does nothing. Reopening the empty project results in Elements/Pro compatibility message. Unusable.

Thank you ATR. I followed your sequence of checks. RESOLVED BY DISABLING PORTION OF AV FUNCTIONS BEFORE LAUNCHING APPLICATION. Here are the steps.
I had not even tried Premiere Elements Organizer. When I did, it appeared to run fine and actually the AutoAnalyzer Options only appear under its Preferences menu, I later found out. Those options were then disabled with no change to the issue.
I removed and reinstalled the program with an internet connection and McAfee firewall and AV off. And then ran the program with an internet connection. No change.
I deleted the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file first, and then the whole 8.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. No change.
The program was installed in the default c: drive location so no change there.
The problem went away with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled!. I narrowed it down to what McAfee calls "Real-Time Scanning" under "Virus and Spyware Protection." The level of control McAfee LiveSafe-Internet Security affords under "Real-Time Scanning" is not very detailed. The setting that makes the difference is under "Scan These Files" is "Programs and documents only" instead of the default "All files (Recommended)."
Now going back upstream, I enabled the firewall fully. Firewall makes no difference if I shut it off globally or allow individual program exceptions...it still runs fine. I also enabled all the AutoAnalyzer Options and program still runs fine. Perhaps this is a rabbit trail for non-resource-limited systems.
Hopefully this helps others with the same problem.

How to execute create PDF menu item

hi all,
I need to bind two pdf files.
I did that by using File->Create PDF->From Multiple Files option.
I want to automate this work using javascript.
How can i do this?
How can i execute the menu item Create PDF?
Thanks in advance and urgent please....

For the Acrobat SDK, no, it is not possible because there is no API to allow developers to do so via AppleScript. Now on to the world of "unsupported".
It "might" and I do stress the word *MIGHT* be possible via AppleScript System Events, but this is in all worlds is a VERY BAD way to do things. It requires that no other applications running in the foreground and if your application loses focus for another applications dialog box (i.e. Adobe Updater, Mac OS X Software Update, etc...) you are, what some might say "hosed" because then your AppleScript no longer can execute properly. Surely NOT something to be used in a production environment.

[murrine] murreza theme not showing firefox menu items

so i tried out murrine today and i like it, but the theme that suits me best (murreza) doesn't seem to show the menu items in firefox. they are clickable though, so they're only hidden somehow by the theme.
does anyone know why this happens, or how to fix it?
Last edited by litemotiv (2010-01-05 18:55:24)

thanks for your suggestion anonymous_user, i'd rather not change the firefox config though since this seems to be a gtk(rc) problem. other dark murrine themes like NOX work alright..
