Image Trace with Document Library palette feature - bug?

I've been trying out the different palette options in Image Trace and I believe I've come across a feature that does not work as the designers intended. In Adobe's documentation, there is very little said about the feature, which I believe is intended to allow you to substitute a custom palette for the palette that would be created by the original artwork that is being traced. It's under the Palette drop-down menu and is available if you've selected the Color Mode. It's called Document Library. In Adobe's documentation, there are these two paragraphs:
[Reproduced from http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/image-trace.html#tracing_options]
Palette
Specifies a palette for generating a color or grayscale tracing from the original image. (This option is available only when Mode is set to Color or Grayscale.)
To let Illustrator determine the colors in the tracing, select Automatic.To use the document swatches as a palette for the tracing, select Document Library.
This would be a great feature, if it worked! I have a lot of artwork to trace, it's all in a set yellow-to-green palette, and it would be a big time-saver if I didn't have to change the palette after the trace. Unfortunately, the feature doesn't work as promised. Either that, or I'm doing something wrong.
I've embedded a video to demonstrate the problem, and would appreciate any comments.

Do I really need to describe what I don't like about these results?
Since the original experiment, I have tinkered with it and discovered that the more colors I have in my palette, the better. I had three colors; it only used one of the three. With some settings changes I could get it to use two. With six colors, it used four. I was unable to get it to use all six.
I apologize for the poor quality of the original rendering of the video. I have since re-rendered it. Embedded below, but if you still cannot see what is going on, I recommend you click on the direct link and go to YouTube, where you will be able to either use the Large Player feature or make the video full-screen. Hopefully that will make it possible to see more detail.

Issue with document library and explorer view

Hello,
I have couple of issues on which I need some assistance.
We recently backup and restore the SharePoint portal based on 2007 to SharePoint 2010 server.We're facing some issues on it now
When we try to open any office document from a document library it gives a prompt stating below message in image. I check the document, it is nowhere checked out and also I have full control on the site , in fact I am site collection admin.
Open with explorer view is not working. When we click on open with explorer it just refreshes the page and show the same page again.
Need help on this couple of issues.
Regards,
Mandar

Connect document set with document library

Suppose you have a document set and a document library and they both have a column "PersonalID".
How is it possible to connect a document set with a document library where you only see the documents with the same value in "PersonalID"?

Hi Cameron,
I created two content types where one is the parent of the other.
I tried to use the filter but I can't choose any option. they are all greyed out.
If I want to use connection on my document set properties web part, it's impossible. "Connections" is greyed out and I can't check it in the properties of the web part. If I check the box and save it, it's unchecked when I re-edit the web part.
If I go to my list web part, I can't connect with another list, only with the image of the document set. "Send Row of Data To" > Image.
I can't use "Get filter values from"...
any tips/ideas?

Word opening in Client Application in SharePoint document library when feature is not activated in manage features in site collection

Hello, I wish for all Word documents to open in the browser for my SharePoint document library on my team site.
The feature 'open in client application' is not activated in Features for the site collection and the setting in the document library is set on 'Use the server default (open in the browser)
When I select File > new> from the ribbon in the document library - it still opens Word in the client application?
Any ideas on this?
Is there a general Office 365 setting over riding SharePoint somewhere?

Okie don't open up a ticket. Can you please open internet explorer...See if its the latest version. Once you have done that can you login to the SharePoint site. Then go to the internet wheel option in top right corner > select manage add on >
Click on toolbars and extensions on left > then click on SharePoint open documents in client and disable it. Close the browser completely now for the changes to take effect. Open internet explorer once again and then try to go to site collection click on
file and create new. The word will open up in browser now. This has to be done on each and every machine in your firm so that users will be able to open up only in browser. Out of the box there is only one way is to customize the ribbon and remove the new
option from there or creating an all together new ribbon for your SharePoint from visual studio.

SharePoint 2010 Cache Not working for Publishing Images Document Library

Hi
I am using SharePoint 2010 Publishing Site and have enabled anonymous access.
I have enabled blob cache and object cache in the site.
While i was checking with fiddler those objects in style library and other document libraries are cached.
Whereas the images from the document library Publishing images is not cached; its returning 304 Not Modified status code.
Is there a way to include the Publishing images to be cacheable as well ?
Please advise
Ready for Action

Did you perform IISreset on all sharepoint server after enabling cache
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261797%28v=office.15%29.aspx
To use the page output cache and the associated cache profile settings, you must be using the Publishing feature on your site.
http://sharepointinterface.com/tag/caching/
Wiley went out to SharePoint, checked the article that he wrote, and saw that he did indeed use a series of dynamite sticks for an image. The page should have actually appeared as it does in the screenshot that is above and to the left. After a quick facepalm,
Wiley realized that he needed to make a change – and fast.
Wiley went out to the Publishing Images library for the site collection and uploaded a new version of the
newsarticleimage.jpg image file – one that contained a barrel of TNT instead of a bundle of dynamite. He then browsed to the article page and did a refresh.
Nothing changed.
Wiley hit F5 in his browser. Still nothing changed.
Over the course of the hour that followed, Wiley grew increasingly more bewildered and panicked as he tried in vain to get the new TNT barrel to show up on the article page. He uploaded the image several more times, closed and re-opened his browser, deleted
and then reloaded the image, re-published and re-approved the actual article page, and even got the administrators to flush the SharePoint BLOB Cache. None of the actions made a difference.
The Coyote Never Wins
Why didn’t any of Wiley’s efforts make a difference? Because what Wiley didn’t understand was that there was nothing he could do short of flushing his cache that would prompt the browser to re-request the updated image. The browser started using the cached
copy of the image after the first request Wiley made in the morning; i.e., the request to verify that the image on the page was incorrect as Fulfillment indicated. For another 24 hours (86400 seconds), the browser would continue to use the cached image.
Wiley’s image problem was just one of the potential issues that might surface as a result of the BLOB Cache change. It was also one of the more visible problems. In looking at the
path attribute of the BlobCache element, you might have noticed some of the other file types that got cached by default – file types with
js (JavaScript) and css (Cascading Style Sheets) extensions, for example. Any of those file types which were served from site collection lists and libraries would also be impacted by the “fetch once and use for 24 hours” behavior.

Update Symbol and Symbol Script without removing from Document library

Is there a way in fireworks CS5.1 to update a symbol and the corresponding symbol script without removing it from the document library like it suggests in the below article
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/fireworks/articles/frwcs3_richsymbol_print.html

I have done some more research on this question and there appears to be no way to update a symbol script without removing it from the document library, hopefully this bug will be patched in the near future

When I Image Trace in CS6 and then expand it shifts the art?

For my work I use the Image Trace a lot. When I Image Trace something and then expand it, it shifts the art over. Every once in a while I wouldn't mind but it does it every time and I have to go back and nudge it back into place by setting the original layer as a template and then looking at it in Outline mode. Here is an example of the shift...
I never had this issue in any other version of Illustrator and I have been working with it since 8. When I have multiple items to Image Trace on one of my jobs and I Image Trace on each one individually, it does it in random directions. Sometimes down and to the right, sometimes up and to the left and sometimes it doesn't do it at all.
Here are the settings I am using...
I am image tracing 1200ppi bitmaps and I don't need it to be any more exact than it is now becuase I am then offsetting it .05" and using that as a relief for our products. But ignoring the shift would make one of our CNC machines mill through the art. Anything to stop "THE SHIFT" would be great. I am using up precious time in my pre-production schedule to be constantly doing this.
Sincerely,
Jason

I just checked that and it seems to have no effect. it still expands off center. Here is a screenshot of it after Image Trace with Pixel Preview on...

Having templates appear when users click the "New Document" button in a document library with custom content types

Hi all,
I'm using SharePoint Online, but I'm seeing the same behavior in an on-prem 2013 instance as well. My situation is this:
- I've created a document library
- I've created a custom content type and attached a custom document template to it
- I've assigned the custom content type to the document library, and disabled the default "document" option
What I'm expecting to see is that when I browse to the document library and click "new document", that either a) a picklist appears allowing me to specify the document template I want (using the custom template I specified) or b) open the custom
template itself. That doesn't happen - instead, when I click new document I'm prompted to upload a file, which seems to contradict the whole point of using a custom content type/custom document template combo.
Am I missing something? The custom template isn't in the Forms library, which seems to be a problem if I wanted to use the custom document template instead of the default.
Ideally I'd like a menu like the one shown here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/59ce3bd8-bf7f-4872-ae76-60d8c81dfc32/display-content-types-on-new-document-button-in-document-libraries?forum=sharepointgeneral, except with me being able to control the list of items that is shown.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Brain,
What you have done is by design behavior.
If you want to show the Office document templates list (e.g. below image from your above referenced link) to select when click "+new document" link, this will need to install Office Web App 2013 which provides this feature,
you can new document and see it is using WopiFrame.aspx page, please see more from below article about how to configure OWA 2013 for SharePoint 2013 on-premise.

The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
(you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
(I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
Hope this helps you!

Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

Hi All,
We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:
Copying files from one document library to another document library:
Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files:
In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.
Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
Thanks in advance

Hi John and all,
One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”, login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
library and tried to follow these steps:
From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
source document library.
From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
functionality not work working for our environment.
Are we doing something wrong?
We have referred to following websites.
we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

Authentication prompt issue when opening an office file in a document library with read permission for domain users

An user as part of the domain users tries to open an office file from a document library but he got an authentication prompt asking him to authenticate. Domain users has only access to this library and not to the whole site. This uses to work in SharePoint
2007 without any problem but not in SharePoint 2013, we didn't have a workflow on SP2007.
Domain users has read access to only this document library in the site, but he shouldn't get an authentication prompt since he is part of the domain users and he is not trying to modify the document, he can open the document but gets two prompts, he can't
also see the list using explorer view since nothings appears using the explorer view.
Now, when opening the file, we can see..Updating Workflow Status, but we don't have any workflow working on this site or library, event any feature related to workflow.
If we go to the event viewer in the server, we find this information,
I also checked this thread but I couldn't find this scenario.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/91bc770b-bb70-4885-a4ad-a243edb88753/event-id-8026-workflow-soap-getworkflowdataforitem-failed-doc-library-no-workflow?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
I also created another list with the same permissions and using other office files but got the same behavior.
Now, we have migrated this site from SP2007 to SP2013.
Any ideas?

OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
things that go through this evolution.

Displaying Document Name With The Summary in a Single Column Using Document Library View.

Hi All,
I have a question that relates to SharePoint Document Library Views. I want to view the Documents name with the summary in a single column. Below image shows an example of it. I need this within a SharePoint Document Library. Also I want the height of the
row to be increased more than the default height. I cannot figure it out how to do that? Could you someone help me to do this. I have inserted the Document Library as an App Part to the page.
So could you someone help me to solve this matter?
Thanks and regards,

HI Chiranthaka,
You can create DataView webpart using SPD and then modify the display template according to your need.

Issue with New Document in a document library with multiple content types

Hi,
I have a created a custom list definition based on a document library. I added 3 content types in this list, one is a document set (lets call it DOCSET), the two others are content types inheriting from Document (DOCA and DOCB).
I deployed the list definition with a site scoped feature and the list instance with a web scoped feature. After activating the two features, the list is created and the content types are present in the list.
When I click in the New Document button and choose either the DOCA or DOCB content type, a Word document opens and the DOCA content type is always associated to this Word document.
With SharePoint Manager 2013 I saw that the template.dotx document was not in the Forms/DOCA or Forms/DOCB folder.
So I decided to remove all the content types from the list definition and add them by code with the ListAdded event receiver. I used list.ContentTypes.Add to add the content types to the list.
With this method the templates are correctly copied from the template.dotx in the RootFolder/Forms folder of my list. These templates have the rights content type id, but the New Document button still does not work properly.
So I looked at the Content Types inside my library and saw that the DocumentTemplateUrl linked to the RootFolder/Forms/template.dotx and not the RootFolder/Forms/DOCA/template.dotx or RootFolder/Forms/DOCB/template.dotx.
I debugged my code to look closer and see that right after the list.ContentTypes.Add, the DocumentTemplateUrl is correclty set but when my EventReceiver finishes, the DocumentTemplateUrl get back to the RootFolder/Forms/template.dotx.
Have you any idea why this is not working ?
Regards

Hi,
Per my understanding, there is an issue about the DOCA and DOCB content types which inherits from Document Content Type in your custom list definition.
By default, if there is a custom content type inherits the OOTB Document Content Type, it will also inherits the template.dotx file from the OOTB Document Content Type.
The template URL of a custom content type which inherits the OOTB Document Content Type:
If you want to specify different templates for different content types, the code demo below would be helpful:

Issue when filtering with Managed Metadata Columns in Share Point Document Library

Hi All
I have a document library, and a four Metadata Columns in it, with each column having a number of term in it. I have no issues in adding a document or in term sets. We have set property of Managed Metadata Column as Allow Multiple Values. So some of the items
in library contains values with only one term set. While other documents contains values with multiple values.
We have a number of country sites having the document library with same metadata columns. In document library default view i am showing Metadata column, User want to filter the documents (view) based on Metadata column selected.
The filtering is giving inconsistent behavior. In production server it is giving in error with some correlation ID. On our development machine some times it is working fine and some other times it is given error of Validation of Viewstate MAC failed. i tried
on different countries sites.
I checked we have already kept the Metadata Navigation and Filtering under site action feature as activated. It was even more weird when i deactivated the feature on one country site and the filtering was working fine. And on other country site where i
kept the feature as activated and the filtering was giving an error.
Thanks & Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
Have you checked the ULS error message for more information with correlation ID?
Please try using the library metadata navigation to filter these managed metadata columns value via configuring library "Metadata navigation settings" after you enabled the "Metadata Navigation and Filtering" feature,
then check if the issue would still persist.
Please see more information from below article with similar issue.

Attaching Attributes to Image For Loading to SharePoint Document Library

We currently have a need to create a searchable document library which will consist solely of images. The standard metadata for a file/image won't suffice in this case. We have some custom attributes that will need to be searchable.
Essentially, we will have a library of receipt images for expense reporting purposes. We get these images from a third party who handles all of our expense reporting. There are two large zipped files we receive: one file contains all the actual expense report
"data" that was processed that day(amount, date, client, job, etc.) and the second file contains all the receipt images for those expense report items. Each data file contains data for individual expense reports, and each expense report is assigned
a unique ID. Each line item in an expense report is also assigned a unique ID. Lastly, each receipt image for a line item of a specific expense report is also assigned a unique ID.
The zipped image file only contains images. There is a main image file - this contains several smaller zipped files. Each of the smaller zipped files contains all receipt images for a specific expense report. Each image file name is comprosed of three parts:
The expense report identifier, the unique image identifier, and the expense report line item identifier.
So, to put this all into perspective:
On Thursday, we received an image file named extract_images_p006320452r3_20140904171423
This file contained images for the following unique expense reports:
The compressed file 95FB8C488519427793FC contains the following receipt images:
The "data" file - as mentioned before - contains the actual info about the expense and image. These include: date of transaction, date approved, vendor, amount. GL code, type, function, client, project, billable or not, and several other attributes.
All of this information - including the location of the images - is stored in a SQL Server database and then placed in an SSAS cube.
The images are related back to the underlying data via the expense report id, and line item id.
What I need to be able to do is to somehow "tag" these images with all their underlying attributes, load then into a SharePoint document library, and make them searchable.
I have already figured out that I would need to create several SharePoint lists based on the available values in my OLAP cube (essentially a dataset each for clients, vendors, etc.). The part I have no idea how to accomplish is how to tag each image with
its respective information.
All the pertinent info is stored in the database tables, just don't know how to attach it to each image.
Hopefully, this made some kind of sense. If anyone has any idea on how to even remotely accomplish such a thing, your input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
A. M. Robinson

You will have to develop a custom solution to do this. I am assuming you have taken the first steps to define separate document libraries for the expense reports and images along with site columns and contenttypes. You would define the site columns based
on the data you want to search on and assign these to corresponding contenttypes. So basically a contenttype for expense reports and receipts possibly. You would link the two contenttypes using the expense report id.
Your custom solution would have to break apart the zip files and upload and index (set site column data) for each file. Then the user could search on the expense report id and get all the files associated with the expense report.
An alternative could be to use one document library and have all the files uploaded into their own document set (folder).
