Incoming styles (paste or library) ignore Style groups and duplicate

I have a group of styles in my doc that are identical to the (parap) styles contained in a library item and other Ind docs that I am working on.
the Library item does not "see" the styles in the group and simply duplicates them.
I realy like organising my styles in groups, but can't seem to stop this duplication.
-The styles were in the group when the lib item was created
-I get the same results when pasting from other Indd docs - the styles in groups are ignored and the incoming styles duplicated outside of the group
CS3 through CS5 which implies I am doing somehting wrong??

Bruce?
Anywho, I can't replicate the problem.
I've created some styles. Put them in groups. I've placed that text frame in a library. Deleted the text frame. Then placed the item from the library and all the styles come in just fine, no duplications.
Can you give me a step by step to recereate the issue?

[JS InDesign CS3] Style groups, begone! (or: How do I take paragraph and character styles out of style groups?)

Sorry for this question (and my terrible English, by the way), I'm a javascript noob and I know when I've reached my limits.
Well, I'm trying to take a set of paragraph and character styles out of the style groups they are placed in, in hundreds of InDesign documents (that cannot be treated as a book). As far as I've tried (thanks to the invaluable help of previous posts in this forum) I've been able to move a style into a group and change it's position inside the group, inside the root level or even between groups. But it doesn't matter how I try, I don't know which move reference should I try in case I want to take every style out of their style group and place them after their original group folder, at the [Root] style level .
I have tried:
var doc=app.activeDocument;
var pGroups=doc.paragraphStyleGroups;
for (i=pGroups.length-1; i>=0; i--){
     var pStylesInGroup=pGroups[i].paragraphStyles;
     for (j=pStylesInGroup.length-1; j>=0; j--){
// Here I am, trying to move a style outside the folder that contains it, and failing miserably.
          pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.after, pGroups[i]);
It didn't work, the script sent an invalid parameter value in the reference field, so I cant use the group folder itself as reference.
Tried other (obviously wrong) solutions, like use the first available style as reference. Therefore, my second script was
var doc=app.activeDocument;
var pStyles=doc.allParagraphStyles;
var pGroups=doc.paragraphStyleGroups;
for (i=pGroups.length-1; i>=0; i--){
     var pStylesInGroup=pGroups[i].paragraphStyles;
     for (j=pStylesInGroup.length-1; j>=0; j--){
// Now I try placing the styles after the [Basic Paragraph], that is, the second paragraph style in the document style list
          pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.after, pStyles[1]);
It didn't work either, another invalid parameter in the reference field. Similar results with my other attempts (I even tried "[Root]" as literal with similar luck).
So, my question is: Which command (or script, in case my whole approach is utterly wrong) should I use to achieve my goal?
Thanks in advance to whoever decides to spend more than a minute thinking about my humble worries, and my apologies for shamelessly ripping some of your lines of code for my purposes.

Okay, tried a few things and got really weird results!
1. You can move a style around inside its group.
2. You can move a style out of a group "to" another, but it will appear 'inside' that style. I got my test style as a sub-item of [Basic Paragraph], using index #1. With index #0 ([No Paragraph Style]) InDesign crashed.
3. You can duplicate the style, but then you get a copy in the same group. Still no luck.
4. Finally! What is the parent of a paragraph style?
Document | Application | ParagraphStyleGroup
"Application" is easy -- that's when you make a style global. So what's the difference between 'Document' and 'paragraphStyleGroup'? Simple -- well, when you finally get it...
pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.AT_END, doc);
moves the style out of the group and to the end of the list in the document. I don't think it's possible to move it directly to a specific position into the main style list -- you first have to move it out of a group, then move it around in its own list.
Fortunately, it returns its new position as a ParagraphStyle again, so if needed, you can use
newStyle = pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.AT_END, doc);
newStyle.move (LocationOptions.AFTER, pStyles[1]);
-- I didn't really try that out, but it should work.

Callblast group and autoattendant cnfiguration

question with configuring callblast groups and autoattendent on the UC540. we have an existing autoattendant and want to add a callblast group in front of the attendant during business hours with atomatic switch to the attendant at closing. The current attendant is working fine. we just want to add a cal lblast group in front during business hours .
So I was thinking
of using a translation pattern to set the inbound number to a ephone dn that is configured for octoline and night mode. during the day it forwards to the callblast group number and at night it would autoswitch to the pilot number for the autoattendant. note that NO user involvement can be involved in making the switch But I cannot get this to work any hints appreciated. When calls come in it simply rings.
current
translation pattern goes to ephone dn
ephone dn is configured as octoline and is set up for night mode
ephone is configured with a call forward all to the call blast group number
ephone night mode is set to forward to the autoattendant pilot number.
Thank You for any assistance.

Hello and thank you for the reply. Perhaps I missed something in the configuration of the dial plan; initially it was configured so that incoming calls were directed to a blast group and I didn't change that after enabling the AA. So I suppose that I need to modify the incoming dial plan to forward incoming call to the AA extension. Anyway, if I dial the AA extension I don't hear nothing, even if I select one of the greetings already included with the device. About the distinctive ring, I read through the forum and it seems that the only way to get it work from CCA is to burn a button and add a second extension to each phone:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3546514
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3386724
This is how I will want to do now:
Configuring AA with extension 400
Configuring a floating extension (502) with voicemail enabled
Disable all users' voicemail
Enable a call blast group at extension 501 and add all the users to it
Configuring incoming call to go to extension 400 (AA)
Configuring the schedule for business hours (9-13 and 15-19)
Recording two greeting for business hours and closed hours
What I'm searching for now is a way to send incoming calls during business hours directly to the blast group, bypassing the AA, and sending incoming calls during closed hours to the voicemail after playing the closed hours greeting. Do you know if it's possible?
Thank you in advance!

FindChangeByList script to include Style Groups/sub Style Groups

I've been using this function happily (with varying degrees of success & lots of trial and error) for a while now. I'm not a script writer, understand very little but manage to copy and paste, and hope for the best.
This has served my wishes for the most part, but I have the need to apply a GREP search/replace to some text that needs to be styled with a paragraph style that lives inside a style group, inside another style group.
Style group called 'Headings', inside which is a style group called 'News from Areas heads' inside which is a paragraph style called 'b head_red (News from areas)'
I have picked up on helpful examples from others for applying a paragraph style that lives within one level of "Style Group", but don't know what the correct syntax to describe: a paragraph style within a folder, within a folder, within another folder might be?
I did wonder if the choice of underscores and brackets in the paragraph style may not help.

Hi Jarek
Unfortunately I don't have much scripting knowledge, but to answer your questions
1. paraStyle real name is "b head_red (News from areas)"
    - "b head_red" is used elsewhere. Why didn't I keep it simple?
2. Do your findWhat string work in UI (run manually)?
    - yes, when I use normal GREP find/change it works okay.
3. Do your FindChangeByList.jsx work with some simplier example?
    - yes, I use it often. The .txt file I'm working on at the moment already contains about 10 text/glyph changes which work fine. I have had success in applying a 'paragraph style' that is within a 'style group'. But this is the first time I've tried to apply a 'paragraph style' that is in a 'style group', within a 'style group'.

Ps CS6 problem: Missing abilities of Layer Style presets and Groups

Ps CS6 v13.0.1
OS X 10.6.8
Layer Style presets seem not to function with Groups.
Unable to apply LS preset to Group.
(Able to apply LS preset to art layer.)
Unable to create LS preset from LS of Group.
(Able to create LS preset from LS of art layer.)
(Able to copy/paste LS from/to Group and art layer.
Able to drag Effects from/to Group and art layer.)

I tried to confirm what you've written and couldn't, using Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 x64 on Windows 7 x64.
I grouped a couple of text layers
I double-clicked the group to bring up the Layer Style dialog.
I clicked in the Styles box at the upper-left.
I chose my Gold Metal preset and was surprised to see it work.
I added a shape to the layer group and tried a different preset, and that worked too...
Perhaps you're going to have to be a bit more specific about what you're doing. As with most things nowadays, Photoshop doesn't seem to be broken in a simple way.

How do I handle Style Groups in InDesign Scripting?

Hi,
I am relatively new to InDesign scripting.
I'm trying to map Paragraph Styles to CSS, and it seemed to be working fine, till I came across Style Groups -
Styles belonging to a group are identified as - Root Style Group name : Child style group name : ...... : Style name
Because of this paragraph style <Style name> was not mapping to the TOC style <Root Style Group name : Child style group name : ...... : Style name> and my TOC styles were not correctly mapping.
I wrote a fix for this in my app, by fetching parent groups and appending to a string - which i check in the TOC style entries.
Before calling this a FIX, I need to confirm if there are any more hierarchies/represnetations that could be used to represent a Paragraph Style as a TOC style? I don't want to see that a week later I discover something like <Style : Nested paragraph style> as a TOC style and then I'd have to fix my fix!
Thanks.

Hi,
If YourPara is a paragraph style in myDoc and defined inside group of styles named myStGroup
you can refer to it using:
myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item("myStGroup").paragraphStyles.item("YourPara");

FindChangeByList script question, re: when a style is part of a style group

Hi,
I'm using InDesign's FindChangeByList script and am running into a problem.
Here is the problem line:
grep {findWhat:"^."} {appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Text").paragraphStyles.item("Body2.TextIndent"), changeConditionsMode:1919250519} {includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true} //Change everything to Text.indent2 style
What I am trying to do is format every paragraph with the style called "Body2.TextIndent" which is located in my style sheets under a group called "Text"
This line is not working for me; I get a JavaScript "Error #17. Error string: variable name expected."
Please note that I CAN get this line to work just fine if I use a style that is NOT in a group. For instance, this line works fine for me:
grep {findWhat:"^."} {appliedParagraphStyle:"Body2.TextIndent", changeConditionsMode:1919250519} {includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true} //Change everything to Text.indent2 style
The problem is apparently that the FindChangeByList script doesn't like style groups. I found this by Googling the internet and found this link:
http://www.listsearch.com/indesign/Thread/index.lasso?17986
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Kasyan, it works for me now! THANKS! One thing... I notice that in your line, you removed the part "changeConditionsMode:1919250519". Maybe that was the problem? I'm new to scripting. What does that line do? Can I leave it out?
p.s. I'm using CS4 on Windows XP Pro

Refering to Styles Groups in XML

Hi,
I am importing XML for my document. I have loaded a Style file and a number of styles are in Groups. I can not seem to refer to these in the xml. The group is Page and the style under there is Page Head. On the majority of the below, when I load the xml I get another entry in the styles refering to the below (eg, Page\:Page Head). I have tried the below
<col1 aid5:cellstyle="Page Head" aid:pstyle="Page\:Page Head">
<col1 aid5:cellstyle="Page Head" aid:pstyle="Page/:Page Head">
<col1 aid5:cellstyle="Page Head" aid:pstyle="Page:Page Head">
<col1 aid5:cellstyle="Page Head" aid:pstyle="Page Head (Page)">
I even changed the heading and exported the XML file to see what the exported xml looks like and I get the following, which again, has no reference to the group:
<col1 aid5:cellstyle="Page Head" aid5:pstyle="Page Head" aid5:paragraphstyle="Page Head" aid:pstyle="Page Head" aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="330.32068718682893">
Can anyone please tell me what I should use. I am on CS3.
Thanks.

Hi,
This is a big issue for us and it would be difficult to organise all our styles in a flat manner. Just wondering if anyone can help or offer another method which I could use. Thanks in advance.

Another glitch in script using Style Groups

Hello,
Everythig was going fine till it started to get complex. I was hoping to adapt a script for cleaning up multiple character styles so that it would work with character styles in a style group, but I get an undefined variable error. Not quite sure how to get round this. It fails on line 3 of the below (this has been simplified for clarity). I'm obviously missing something in terms of defining the Style Group properly as a variable (I get the error "undefined is not an object"). What have I missed?
var CharStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyleGroups.item(STYLE GROUP NAME').characterStyles.item['STYLE 1', 'STYLE 2', 'STYLE 3'];
var myFind = ['(?<=\\w)\\s(?!.)', '(?<=.)[,;:\\.]\\s?(?!.)', '(?<!.)\\s(?=.+)', '(?<!.)[\\s,;:\\.](?!.)'];
for (var i = 0; i < CharStyle.length; i++){
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = CharStyle[i];
    for (var k = 0; k < myFind.length; k++){
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = myFind[k];
    var f = app.activeDocument.findGrep();
        for (var j = 0; j < f.length; j++){
        f[j].appliedCharacterStyle = myDoc.allCharacterStyles[0];
        f[j].fillColor = f[j].appliedParagraphStyle.fillColor;

Hi I have figured it out on my own just today coz what apple suggested didn't help much so I just have to do it by myself.
This is what you need to do:
open your computer and search for autoplay, it will open rightaway and then scroll down look for your device then change "ask everything" to "import photos and videos in windows" connect your ipad again then tthe import box will open.. and your good!
i hope this will help you. Good luck! :-)

How to delte empty Style Group from paragraph style palette

Hi Guys,
I want to delete my empty paragraphStyleGroups folder that are Style Group 1and Style Group 3 (see pic) from my palette.
I need a js code for this task.

Reordering the if-statement in isMeasureFixed() exposed that hostFormat can be null when measure() is called if styles changed and measure is done before the next commitProperties. This states test exposed this.
We should rethink if we want to clear hostFormat rather than have a hostFormatChanged flag. If there is no hostFormat at measure then it has to be fixed because there is no line break format to check for auto-size.

Oh my god, it is too long! You definitely check out types, casting and especially ODP.Net (it does everything for you)... etc. They can help you to simplify your code. I do not have enough time to copy paste it to Studio and understand and solve your issue, so I got title of your message as your main question.
In Oracle, you can create an autonumber field by using sequences object. This is really useful when you need to create a unique number to act as a primary key.
Basically you can create a sequence simply typing;
CREATE SEQUENCE MY_SEQUENCE;
now you have a sequence called "MY_SEQUENCE"... Then, I advice you select a number from sequence;
select MY_SEQUENCE.nextval from dual;
I said I advice actually kinda must, although it called sequence, I cannot be sequential. Do not even try to predict the value. You can be sure that it is unique number so you can use it.
Then insert you record and use that number part of your primary key. I think that's it. Have fun.

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

Ignore a group of faces

After upgrading to Photos you still can't ignore a group of faces. In addition my entire photo library was rescanned and now I have to ignore faces all over again. Also I have no idea how many faces have yet to be identified.

From my limited experience, you'll have to go through EACH unrecognised face and right click to ignore it. You cannot select multiple faces and ignore them as a batch.
Furthermore, the faces are now, I assume, sorted based on the number of photos associated with it thereby making it very difficult to find a face in the crowd.
As bad as iPhoto was, and no matter how in need of an upgrade, this new app is absolutely rubbish.
This time it doesn't "just work".

FEATURE REQUEST: After Effects style Placeholders and Proxies

If you feel the needs in efficient proxy workflow, welcome to the club and don't hesitate to submit feature request.
Here is the adjusted to less than 2000 symbols feature request text:
***After Effects style Placeholders and Proxies***
It would be nice if PrPro offered AE style Placeholders and Proxies workflow. There are cases, where they are extremely useful, e.g.:
1. Huge modern formats and resource hungry codecs. Not all machines can easily handle 2k or 4k footages, some can't get real time playback even with AVCHD. Not to mention that CinemaDNG importer was discontinued partly because of inability to get real time playback in PrPro. The issue can be resolved via rendering previews, but that's not always the most efficient workflow.
2. In multicam editing issues mentioned above increase dramatically. Rendering preview for every camera angle is simply impossible. Although PrPro offers offline clips workflow, an editor can't easily see if the clip is currently linked to a source footage or a proxy, and switching between sources and proxies involves several steps every time one needs to switch: selecting assets, making them offline, right-clicking again to link to other media, locating files on a disk; while in After Effects it's just one click once a proxy is set.
3. Adobe Dynamic Link. PrPro communicates with AE projects via single instance of headless AE, which creates a bottleneck and entails the need to render DI for complex comps. Although AE allows to set DIs as proxies and, hence, enjoy the best of both worlds, instantly switching between DI and dynamically linked comp and no needs to replace anything in PrPro timeline, with hundreds of dynamically linked comps PrPro timeline becomes unresponsive and takes forever to render (for my rig test 30 min sequence built out of 935 dynamically linked comps, which are just source footages in their own comps, hence, the equivalent to rendered DIs set to proxies, takes around 27 hours to render, while 30 min sequence built out of the same 935 source footages renders in real time). Meanwhile, PrPro doesn't currently allow to link offline dynamically linked comps to rendered DIs.

As the person who maintains the feature request database for After Effects, I can confirm that the number of times an item has been requested is a major factor when we consider what to work on next. So are other factors, such as how hard the feature is to implement and maintain, how much testing is involved (often the larger concern than programming time), whether the request conflicts with something else that we are already working on, and so on. It is true that we consider not just raw numbers of requests but the details of who is making the requests---e.g., whether the requests are coming from animators or compositors, beginners or experts.
I can only speak for the After Effects team, but the Premiere Pro team works much the same way (which is unsurprising, since we are in the same group and have overlapping team members).
We also try to give some visibility into the most requested items with posts like this:
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/12/top-feature-requests-for-after-effects-in-2012 .html
