[ID CS5] Change imported .ai crop settings after placed.

Hi,
I have a file with a few hundred illustrator files which have been placed into an indesign file. I would like to change the crop settings to trim. Is there a way of doing it without re placing all of the files?
To explain it better, what you would normally do is click file > place and check the show import options. A dialog box would then appear asking where to crop the file. Is there a way of getting this dialog box / change the crop options after the file has been placed.
If someone could write a script for this, I would happily shoot over some beer money(£10), as it will save me hours.
Steven.

Awesome! There's a preference that controls whether manually re-placed images retain their scale. But looks lke you found the better way.
While we're here, I would tend to shy away from naming the variable, "image," because in the InDesign DOM Image is a subclass of Graphic, but your code operates on all Graphics (EPS | Image | ImportedPage | PDF | PICT | WMF).
Enjoy!

Change illustrator import settings after placed

Hi,

I have quite a few of these files, so I'll literally have to replace thousands of files - tedious to say the least.
Steven.

This probably requires a script. We have a few regualrs here that do scripting, but you might get faster service by asking over in http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/indesign_scripting

HT4623 After updating to IOS 7.0.4 for my IPhone 5 I noticed that the pictures I take are not uploaded to my PC in photo stream any longer. I have not changed any of my settings after updating from IOS 7.0.3. What could be wrong?

Since updating to IOS 7.0.4 My pictures no longer automatically load to my PC's photo stream folder. I have not changed any settings after upgrading from IOS 7.0.3. What could be the problem?
Thanks.

Change import and play settings

I do not want to import every audio CD I place in my PC.. In iTunes, I Changed Preferences, to PLAY, not import; then to SHOW, not import.
It still imports no matter what.
I then went to the CD, changed my "OPEN WITH" to WMP, instead of itunes, as my default; buy itunes still opens/imports CD.
Prior to this itunes update, all was well. I could even change to Real Player as my default if I wanted to. Now,
seems itunes has taken over and I can not change a thing.
Windows 7; iTunes Ver 12.0.1.26

Hey. It seems you got the import settings switched over to .MP3, so what you need to do now is right click on the songs you want to convert to MP3 and select the "Create MP3 Version" option. This will cause it to create a duplicate version on each song you select that is in MP3 format. (You can choose whether or not you want to delete the original .m4a file.) After you have converted the songs you want to mp3 format, you can just drag the song from within iTunes to a folder on the flash drive and it will copy the song to the new location.

Crop Settings: CC different from CS5/Possible to change settings?

I just recently joined CC; I used to use CS5. Back in CS5 when I would crop a picture/change the dimensions simply by dragging a corner with no additional buttons pressed. It would show me the entire picture, but the parts that were not within the crop box would be faded, to show exactly which parts of the picture would not be shown. In CC, those faded parts are completely gone. It will not show me the entire picture as I am cropping it. Is there a way to change that setting, back to what I had with CS5?

Oh so that's what "Delayed" does. Thanks Peter! Your solution worked perfectly

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

HT4859 After the i-cloud server issue Nov 26, 2012, I had to change some mail account settings to get my i-cloud mail to work again. However, all of my received e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve my e-mails from the server?

After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail. I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails. However, all of my historical e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

Iterate over selected images, read/change crop settings in LR3?

Since there is a new SDK I thought I ask again for this version:
I'd like to write a Lightroom script which iterates through all selected images, read and change the crop settings of (nearly) every image.
Is this possible to achieve in lua using the LR3 SDK? Or is it still not possible to read and write development settings?
Kind regards,
Sam

You can read individual develop settings but only apply presets. That's better than nothing, but allowing us to write develop settings would have opened up a whole new world of possibilities - I think it scared them...
A possible work around: read settings, create a temp preset, write changed settings to the temp preset, then apply it.
NoYeah?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Changing Import Settings

When changing the import settings to AIFF Encoder, and choosing CUSTOM, how do you get these settings to become fixed. When I close the window, the settings revert back to the default. I'm looking to import higher quality files, but can't sem to get ITUNES to "APPLY" the settings that I want to change. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks in advance.....

TThere are no import settings. The application imports in whatever settings the media is.

Changing Runtime View Object Settings Before and After Using Them

Hi,
I'm doing some VO coding at the moment and reading around the subject to get an idea of best practices.
I stumbled across 2 blogs that are slightly contradictory:
https://blogs.oracle.com/vijaymohan/entry/applyviewcriteria_design_timerun_time_view_criteria
http://radio-weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2007/05/23/avoidActivationErrorsByChangingRuntimeViewObjectSettingsBeforeUsingThemNotAfter.html
What is the best practice when programmatically using VOs? Should I do cleanup before/after when using them.
Thanks
Kevin

John,
I read it in an unofficial blog somewhere yesterday and I cannot locate it now!
I'm reading some official documentation on this today:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/bcstatemgmt.htm#autoId37
The example steps given in 40.8.2 seems to contradict the latter paragraph:
Because many of the view object's instance settings are saved in the passivation state snapshot and restored on activation (as described in Section 40.5.1, "State Information Saved During Passivation"), it is not advisable to change any of these settings just after executing the view object+ if you won't be re-executing the view object again during the same block of code (and so, during the same HTTP request). Instead, change the view object instance settings the next time you need them to be different before executing the query.
Steps 5 and 6 seems to be changing the settings after executing the view object.+
Bottom line is I'm looking for best practice.
Should I do this in a VOImpl method:
//save original VO settings
String originalWhereClause = this.getWhereClause();
String originalOptimizerHint = this.getQueryOptimizerHint();
String originalOrderByClause = this.getOrderByClause();
String[] originalViewCriterias = this.getApplyViewCriteriaNames();
//change VO where settings and execute query
//restore original VO settings
this.setWhereClause(originalWhereClause);
this.setApplyViewCriteriaNames(originalViewCriterias);
this.setQueryOptimizerHint(originalOptimizerHint);
this.setOrderByClause(originalOrderByClause);
Or is that all unnecessary?

Outgoing email settings change back to "none" even after I save

Hi I hope someone can help me. My server is bellsouth/att and I have gone through the settings for my mailbox with them over and over. I have the correct settings. (smtp.att.yahoo.com) I have three accounts in my mail (version 3.6) and for some reason the outgoing settings after I enter the correct setting - hit save - reverts back to "none". It says I have no outgoing mail server. I have to go into each account and change the settings back to the correct setting each time I want to send something out for each account. Also, somehow I lost all of my emails for the last year in my primary email. I'm getting so frustrated - I don't know what happened to my mailbox! Can anyone offer advice? Bellsouth/ATT have no idea anymore!
Thank you
Jessica

Go to Mailbox > Rebuild. If that doesn't fix it, try removing the account. Also try removing the file ~(Home)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist.

Lightroom Bug: with GoPro Hero4 Silver Lens Profile, crop settings do not sync properly in Lightroom 5.7.1 when Constrain To Warp is checked

I was having a bit of difficultly in getting crop settings to properly sync in Lightroom 5.7.1 (running on OS X 10.10.1) when Constrain to Warp was checked. This appears to be a bug in the latest version(s) of Lightroom that include(s) the GoPro Hero4 Silver Lens Profile settings. I'm working with a lot of files from a GoPro Hero4 Silver camera shot in the time-lapse / interval timer mode. All of them are horizontal with the same resolution (and dimensions). I've tried various sequences to get this to work in terms of using Auto-Sync, resetting the settings on all images except one and then copy and pasting settings, etc, though the crop is not properly syncing regardless of what I do.
Here's are instructions of how to duplicate this issue (there are some extra details/steps here, though this should be clear enough to produce the same result):
     1. in the Develop settings for a single selected image, go to Lens Corrections, click to Enable Profile Corrections (in the Profile tab), and then pick the GoPro Hero4 Silver Edition (Adobe Profile) if it is not automatically chosen for you (if you are using files from a Hero4 Silver camera). After this, click on the Manual tab, and set the Scale setting to 76. (as you will see, you now have the full horizontal width of the image that was getting cropped off, though you do see white around the edges that have been warped/shaped to correct the fisheye distortion)
     2. Press the R key (or click on the Crop Overlay tool just below the histogram). Change the Aspect option to Custom. Click to unlock the lock next to it (this seems to re-lock after setting to custom even if it was locked before). Place a checkmark next to the Constrain To Warp option. (At this point, you'll see the image gets cropped back to an approximately 4:3 ratio and the full horizontal width is not included in the cropped area) Click the upper right most corner of the crop area and drag as much to the right and top as it lets you go. Do the same for the lower left corner, dragging it as far to the bottom left as you can go. (Now, you will see that your cropped area is the maximum rectangular width and height you can select without getting any of the excessive white area) Click the Close button (or press R again) to leave the crop overlay tool.
     3. Press G to go back to the grid of images. Make sure the image you just adjusted the settings for is the only one selected. Right click on it, go to Develop Settings, and click Copy Settings. Click Check All on the window that appears and then click Copy.
     4. De-select the image you were working on. Select multiple other images in the grid. Right click on one of these, go to Develop Settings, and click Paste Settings. (at this point, you will see their aspect ratio has become more panoramic than the 4:3 aspect ratio the images previously were)
     5. De-select these images. Select one of these image, and then press D to go to the Develop settings for this image. Press R to go to the Crop Overlay tool. Here you will see the bug where the crop was not properly copied over from the first image. The selected area is smaller than the full width and height available to crop.
It seems that the bug is that Lightroom is only copying the aspect ratio (and the other settings), but not the actual crop selection.
I just thought of a workaround that I've tested and can confirm works (and will also work in a slightly different workflow than above). In step 1 above, for the Model (and Profile), manually pick the "GoPro Hero4 Black Edition" or the "GoPro Hero3-Silver Edition". If using the "Hero3-Silver" setting, the Scale (also in step 1 above) need only be set to 79 (rather than 76 for the Hero4 profiles). By picking one of these Lens Profiles and doing everything else the same as the other steps above, the crop settings do copy and paste properly. This does also appear to work properly when selecting the "GoPro Hero3-White Edition" Lens Profile, with a Scale setting of 75, which yields a slightly more rectilinear image (with a wider aspect ratio -- almost, but not quite 16:9).
While this isn't too big of deal as it does work by picking one of the other lens profiles (and the Hero4 Black Edition profile appears to make the same exact correction to the image), this was incredibly frustrating last night to notice that some files had the proper horizontal field of view / crop and others didn't, and other users may experience this or not even notice their crop is not copied properly (as, depending on one's composition and image, it's not extremely obvious with such a wide view).
I hope this discovery helps someone else and provides feedback for Adobe to correct this issue in the next version of Lightroom 5.
On a separate, additional note for Adobe: Please allow the crop overlay tool to "crop" an image to a size that is larger than the original dimensions of the image. This would allow for one to retain maximum original sharpness in the center of the image when using the Lens Profile tool to correct, or "de-fish" a lens, without having to scale the image down with the Scale option on the Manual tab of the Lens Corrections settings. For example, when I do the above process selecting the Hero3-White Edition profile, my final image dimensions are 3840 by 2257 pixels, reducing the size of the image in the center by 25%. If the tool allowed one to crop/scale a larger image size, and I kept the Scale option of the Lens Corrections settings at 100 rather than 75, my final image dimensions would be 5120 by 3009 pixels (larger than the 4000 by 3000 pixel dimensions of the original image which the tool now limits me to). Yes, the edges would be a little softer but the center would retain the original detail. (this is essentially what the Calculate Optimal Size button found in the Hugin open source software does, when using it on a single image for lens transformations/corrections)

Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

Lightroom 2 save develop settings after folder remove?

I just upgraded to Lightroom 2 and notice that it doesn't save images' develop settings after I remove the folder from the library. So next time I reimport that folder, my develop settings previously applied to those images are gone! Anyway to fix this?

>Frankly, I don't quite understand what's going on.
Neither do I. x.x
Here is an example of what's going on.
I import a photo.
I edit that photo in Dev Module such as recovery, clarity and noise reduction(Luminance).
As I opted for "automatically write changes into XMP", now I've got those changes in the XMP sidecar file as well as in the Lightroom 2 Catalog.lrcat.
At the same time, I have now 4 lines of History including 'Import'(Highlight Recovery, Clarity, Luminance Smoothing)
Quite normal and no problem until here.
When I open that photo several days later, I suddenly have that little up-arrow icon(meaning "metadata was changed externally").
And the photo is like the one I imported without three changes I made above.
Naturally, in History, there is only one line, 'Import'.
Now I have two option,
1. "import Settings from Disk"
2. "Overwrite Settings"
If I chose 1, I have my edited photo back with 3 changes above. It's from XMP (or Catalog), I guess. However, 3 lines of changes in History disappear and only 'Import from metadata' and 'import(date and time) remain. So I can't really use history to see what exactly I've done with that photo. (Well I still can see each change with the right side panel but it's not as quick and convenient as History.
If I chose 2, of course, I lose both my edited photo and 3 lines of History. It's just as if I imported from my Compact Flash.
