Image Button Copying Shenanigans

Hello! I'm trying to copy an image button from one Captivate 5 project to another, but none of the images associated with the button come over--just the button itself. I notice that I CAN copy buttons and their images from Captivate 4 to Captivate 5, but not from 5 to 5.
Am I missing something new? Or is this not possible anymore?
I'll admit that the button copying is largely a function of laziness (I'm copying the button out of a template)!
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Will

Image buttons won't go away

Hi there
I have created an up, down and over state for my image buttons and saved them into the Captivate "Gallery > Buttons" folder. Two odd things are happening:
1. When I delete the image files from the "Gallery > Buttons" folder the buttons do not disappear from the applications' interface in the "General > Image button" drop down menu. Can anybody tell me why this is and how to make them go away?
2. After saving many different up, down and over states for my set of icons, I copied and pasted them into the "Gallery > Buttons" folder. I then went to the folder to check and view them and discovered that every single file had the same image in it!!! I have never in 25 years of operating a computer seen this happen. Can anybody tell me why this is happening and how to make it stop happening?
Thank you to everybody in advance for your time.

Hi Rod
I followed your instructions (I hope) by creating an image button, and then finding the "Delete unused button images" button in the general accordion. It was greyed out. So I then closed the project and went to "Preferences > Clear cache" and cleared the cache. Then I opened the project again. Alas the buttons are still displaying in the drop down even though the image files are no longer in existance anywhere on my system. Any other ideas?

PsE 8 Mac, ACR 5.7, no "Open Image" button in ACR?

A forum search was unproductive, so I apologize if this question has an obvious answer.
I've been a user of the full version of Photoshop for many years. Now I find myself temporarily using PsElements 8 and ACR 5.7 on someone else's iMac.
After editing an image in ACR from Bridge CS4 (the one that comes with PsElements), I don't see an "Open Image" button in ACR. How do I open the image in PsElements 8?
Puzzled. Is this a sign that ACR is not installed properly?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply, Barbara.
I am fully familiar with the full version of ACR that comes with the real Photoshop. That's what I use at home on my desktop machine.
It's the PsElements version that I know nothing about.
The last paragraph of your post may hold a clue, but there's more to the issue I'm seeing here. As you well know, the Mac version does not come with the Organizer, but with Bridge CS4. I followed the PsElements-specific instructions for the ACR 5.7 download, as follows:
To install with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8:
NOTE: You must follow all of the new instructions in order to
successfully install the Camera Raw Plug-in for Photoshop Elements
1. Exit Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge
2. Open the download file and double-click CameraProfiles.dmg and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 8/Plug-Ins/FileFormats/
5. Copy the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new
folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need
to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4, and overwrite the exiting file.
7. Launch Photoshop Elements or Adobe Bridge.
That works fine for PsE 8 but does not let Bridge see, preview or open RAW files. I had to go ouside the instructions and put another, additional copy of the ACR plug-in either in ./ Library/ Application Support/ Adobe/ Plug-ins/ CS4/ File Formats/ Camera Raw.plugin or, alternatively, in ./ Applications/ Adobe Bridge CS4/ Plug-Ins/ , otherwise Bridge shows me only generic icons for the raw files.
The
Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 8/Plug-Ins/FileFormats/
location does work as advertised for PsE, regardless.
My guess is I should uninstall PsE and Bridge, re-install both and then update to ACR 5.7.
If that still doesn't work, I'll see if there is a PsE version 9 for the Mac. The computer owner barely uses PsE as it is and does not want to mess with the full version of the real Photoshop.
Personally, I'll be happy to go back home on Monday and forget this ordeal with PsE. :-/
With the above instructions—taken from the Download page—there is no way to see thumbnails and/or previews of raw file in the Bridge provided with PsE. Adobe has definitely gone down the tubes—and I know you're not Adobe.

…Basically in bridge acr, you use the save button to save in the format of your choice and then open that file into PSE if you wish.
Wow! That is certainly NOT the case with ACR hosted by Bridge in the full version of the real Photoshop!
Thanks for the help. Much obliged.

Image Button file browser icon missing

Hi there, I've been using C5 this week for the 1st time and have been working through a project. All has gone ok to date, a few niggles along the way but I've run into a huge bug this morning which is wrecking my plan to finish the project.
I'm adding an image button to a slide and have found to my frustration that the file browser in Properties has vanished, pushed out past the properties block, which of course cannot be resized to the right (thanks Adobe, nice UI design there). This means I can't choose any image for my button apart from those already loaded in the preview which is utterly useless. I've attached a screenshot to show what it looks like.
As you can see the Image Button drop down has gone very wide and pushed the folder browser icon out of sight. Simply maddening!
I had been using image buttons all week with out any issues. Yesterday an update appeared (5.0.1.624) for C5 so I applied it. Then this issue started. I have since uninstalled C5 and reinstalled without applying the update and its still doing it. What I didn't do was reboot after the uninstall, maybe I should have done...
Anybody else come across this? if it is a bug its a crippling one!!!!

Hi Niall-Mac and KiHwa -
This is indeed a CP bug!!! We found this some months ago - it turns out that if you name your button images with a very long file name (35-40 characters plus), it slowly starts pushing the "browse" folder icon further and further to the right of the panel. Add a few more buttons with longer file names to the gallery and eventually it disappears altogether, like you both have encountered (see image).
Workaround 1 (best practice IMO until CP dev team fixes this):
We started creating buttons in a separate CP file, creatively named "projectName_buttons" - this way any time we need a button we go to this file and copy/paste it into our project and we never have to mess with the button gallery in our working (source) file. If the "browse" icon disappears again in our buttons file, we simply copy all our buttons from our "project_buttons" file into a new blank project and save over the old (broken) one.
Workaround 2 (not so user-friendly):
1. Stretch your timeline panel as wide as it can go on your monitor (I use two 21" monitors to develop so I can make my timeline rather long)
2. Undock the properties panel so that it is a floating window
3. Drag the properties panel by the topmost dark gray bar just above the "Properties" tab and place it just below the timeline until it snaps into place - now don't let go of it just yet, drag it up a tiny bit further - as you do this a blue bar will appear signifying that it will dock to that position (underneath the timeline) - when you dock it to the timeline it will stretch to the same length as the timeline and voila, you can now see the "browse" icon - however, who wants a properties panel that takes up your whole monitor!!!! I certainly don't.....
On a side note, it is very disheartening that once buttons are in the button gallery you have NO CONTROL over them - if they need to be edited you are forced to rename them so you can import a fresh button. This method unnecessarily creates TWO copies of a button in your gallery - the more edits you make to a button the more copies of that button you get in your gallery....some control over the button gallery would be nice.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Exporting image buttons

Hi,
I'm working on a Captivate project that I haven't created myself and I'm trying to extract the images used for some buttons. Is there some way to do that? I can't see the images in the library, so where are they?
The reason for all this is because when I copy the buttons in another Captivate project it works fine, but a copy of the button from the new project (so basically a copy of the copy) doesn't... and that puzzles me greatly. It might sound silly to want to do that... long story short, I need to give the buttons made by some service provider to the other without sending them the whole file.
Any ideas? I'm using Captivate 5.5 by the way.

Image buttons are stored in the Captivate install folder under Gallery > Buttons.
If the buttons you're referring to are not standard Captivate buttons but were custom made by the original developer then he/she may be the only one that has them on their system.
After you add these image buttons to a project they are stored internally and cannot be 'extracted' per se, though you can usually copy buttons from one project to another if you have them both open. As you've found, once you move beyond a certain point, the copy/pasted process seems to break down.
If you can get in touch with the original developer, they may be able to provide you with the original button images. That would be your best solution.

Image Button click?

I would like have a row of image buttons in my view.
But normal buttons do not have the possibility to add an image in stead of text.
So I put images on my view. Now the layout is fine, but the image element do not have an OnClick...
Is this impossible?

"Save image" button of Camera Raw does not save JPEG with modifications made.

I am using Bridge CC to process my RAW images and make modifications to some JPEG images as well. I have no need to further alter images in Photoshop at the moment, so I do all modifications in Camera Raw. After altering my images, I then press the "save image" button at the left bottom corner of Camera Raw and choose the settings to save in JPEG. However, when I upload these JPEG images to a website or when I email them, the image is uploaded without the modifications I had done! It seems to me that Camera Raw is saving JPEGs the same way it does for RAW images, in a non-destructive manner, only attaching instructions for the images to be displayed properly on Photoshop. But when I save an image in JPEG, I expect the image to be saved entirely with the modifications I made while still keeping the original RAW file. What goes on then? What is Camera Raw doing and how do I get to save a modified image in JPEG with Camera Raw? Would you please explain?
Many thanks for your help,
Beza

Hi,
What version of camera raw and operating system are you using?

RE: [iPlanet-JATO] image button handling

Hi Todd,
from what I have seen so far on the Project they are just buttons on
the page.
In the interim, I modified RequestHandlingViewBase.acceptsRequest() to
handle the matching of parameter and command child names.
from
if (request.getParameter(commands)!=null)
return getCommandChildNames()[i];
to
if (request.getParameter(commands[i])!=null ||
(request.getParameter(commands[i]+ ".x")!=null ))
return getCommandChildNames()[i];
This fixed the problem with the image buttons in our cases.

Hi Kostas--
I wanted to get some feedback on the known issue of the
handleXXXXRequest method not being fired for buttons which have
images, due to the the browser submitting
the pixel coordinates back to the server like this:
Page1.ImageButton1.x=...
Page1.ImageButton1.y=...
As the ND conversion project we are currently working on heavily uses
image buttons we would like to get and indication if and when a patch
is planned for this.
Our current work around is to remove the src attribute from the JATO
tags in the JSPs.We are currently working on getting this fixed. One question--what is
the
relative type of usage of image buttons in your project? Are they just
buttons on the page (view bean), or do they appear in tiled views as
well?

OK, here's what I'm trying to do: We have, like you said, a menu
page. The pages that it goes to and the number of links are all
variable and read from the database. In NetD we were able to create
URLs in the form
pgXYZ?SPIDERSESSION=abcd
so this is what I'm trying to replicate here. So the URL that works
is
pgContactUs?GXHC_GX_jst=fc7b7e61662d6164&GXHC_gx_session_id_=cc9c6dfa5
601afa7
which I interpreted to be the equivalent of the old Netd way. Our
javascript also loads other frames of the page in the same manner.
And I believe the URL-rewritten frame sources of a frameset look like
this too.
This all worked except for the timeout problem. In theory we could
rewrite all URLs to go to a handler, but that would be...
inconvenient.

How do I get a "transfer images" button to show up in the solution center?

How do I get a "transfer images" button to show up in the solution center for my officejet 6500 709a on XP?
Scan buttons are displayed and work, as does print.

What installing the twain plug-in, you mean? Go to your applications folder. Find the Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 folder. Look in there for a folder called support files, then for a folder called optional plugins. In the Optional Plugins folder, there should be a folder called ImportModules. Just drag that from the Optional Plugins folder to the regular Plugins folder.
This will be infinitely easier to do if you put your applications folder window into list view, not the default icon view. To do that, click this button at the top of the window:

I do not think that I am completely focused into this completely, so let us see if the following is going to help.
You are going to need a base for your button. When you mention "image" button, I am assuming that you are using that term to differentiate between a text button and a thumbnail type button.
The menus (main and scene) take their origin in .psd files on the hard drive and strict nomenclature and structure for Layers Palatte. And, the buttons on the menus trace back to the menu markers on the Timeline, main menu marker and order of placement of scene markers. The scene thumbnail will only appear when there is a scene marker on the Timeline to which it.
In view of all that
Where have you already inserted this "image (button)"...into the Layers Palette of a Photoshop document or other? Is this "image (button)" in a structured Layer Group in the Layers Palette with sublayer groups, text layers, graphic/background layer"?
Let me give you an example
If you have a button (with thumbnail) on the main menu and you want that to open to a specific scene in your movie, then you use a main menu marker on the Timeline at the spot that you want that button to target.
If I am getting closer to what you seek, then please further clarify the DVD navigational envisioned scheme.
Thanks.

Using Bridge to Camera Raw to Open Image button also drop shadow problems

I remember when I was working with RAW in PSE 8. I would be in Bridge looking at a pic and double click on it. PSE 8 would open in Camera RAW and I could play with the pic a bit, make some adjustments, then click on OPEN IMAGE. When I did that it would open in PSE and it would be in jpg format. With this PSE 9 and the updated Camera RAW 6.3, when I punch OPEN IMAGE I still have a picture labeled .CR2 which I think still means RAW. When I double click in Bridge the .CR2 pic shows as 8 bit depth. I can do a little more work on it and use SAVE AS. When I do that, the sample file name that shows is still in .CR2 format and I must change that to .jpg and then below change from PHOTOSHOP to JPEG to save my file as a jpg file. Is there something that I have to change in preferences to get it to open the image in jpg format when I hit the OPEN IMAGE button? Or, is this an "improvement" with RAW 6.3? Also, I seem to be having trouble adding a drop shadow (or any other effects) on jpeg pics. At least it doesn't show up on the screen after I apply it. I just recently updated to Camera RAW 6.3 and updated my Operating system on my iMac computer to OS 10.6.6. I emailed this request to my good friend with an identical setup on his iMac and he is having the same response when performing the above operations. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Okay, previously you seem to have been using the bridge version of camera raw to edit your raw photos. That has many more options than the PSE version of the raw converter. (If you still have PSE 8, you can see the difference by using File>Open in the editor to open a raw photo for the PSE version of ACR, which works the same way in PSE 9.) In PSE's raw converter, you use the Open button, then save your photo in an image format in the editor. The Save button in ACR in PSE is only the DNG converter.
Layer styles should work exactly the same way as in PSE 8. However, in any version of PSE a drop shadow, like a real shadow, needs someplace to fall, so unless there is empty space on the layer, it won't appear. Try creating text or drawing and simplifying a shape and adding a drop shadow. Does it appear then?
Also remember that Jpegs won't let you save either layers or transparency when you resave the file.

Why am I having issues with the image button?

Good day everyone!
I am working on creating a business card template so that people can add their images of themselves and write in their own information. I was reading the Ted Padova book (for version 5 or 6) and I was excited when he said to use the image button to create variable image data and this would work with reader, standard and professional.
I had sent the file to my clients and those who have reader cannot change the images at all but standard and professional can make changes.
I have already checked to make sure that the rights for acrobat reader was in use.
DOES ANYONE HAVE SOME INSIGHT FOR ME? I really could use the help!

I was just about to prepare that for you guys when I had a quick flash to try applying the background image directly to the table instead
of a containing div. I'm sure there was a reason I used a containing div to begin with, but can't for the life of me remember why right now. I'm sure it'll hit me at some point and I'll probably be back here when it does, but so far eliminating the containing div altogether has produced the desired effect. =)
