InCopy Stories Browsing

Aloha Forum members,
Does anyone have any suggestions for solutions on browsing/drag+dropping INCX files from a folder directly to an InDesign CS3 layout (essentially, the same functionality that Adobe Bridge has)?
Bridge is almost a perfect solution for me, but has one limitation: --I need to be able to read the content from the thumbnail previews but this apparently can't be enlarged sufficiently on longer stories and only shows the text "grayed out."
Anyone else with this issue that has found a good solution?
(Adobe CS3 Standard/InCopy CS3/Mac OS X 10.4.9)
TIA :-)

I've been away from this issue, but just came back to it today--and found a solution! Here's what I discovered:
To make .incx files readable from the Adobe Bridge preview, the .incx files have to be saved with InCopy's "Preview Images" size settings set to either "Large 512x512" or "Extra Large 1024x1024."
.incx files saved with the default ("Medium 256x256") or the Small setting will display their previews from Bridge as greeked text for the most part--some of the larger headers in a medium-sized .incx preview are legible, so I suppose it might be remedied by further tweaking of the minimum point size. Not tested it yet.
Anyway, this works for now. The path to make the preview size adjustment is:
InCopy/Preferences/File Handling.../
Then put a checkmark in the "Always Save Preview Images with Documents" box. Switch the Preview Size to Large or Extra Large, keeping in mind that this will affect the physical file size; on my test file, the same file that was saved with a small preview was only 28 KB, but jumped up in size, depending on the preview size that was selected: Medium was 36 KB, Large was 72 KB and Extra Large was 152 KB!

  • ITunes store browser pauses

    Hi,
    When within iTunes, and attempting to access the iTunes store, the iTunes store browser starts up ok but the page does not load correctly. Basically the download bar up the top of the iTunes browser window stops around 90-95% of the way through and no content is shown.
    The only way i can get content shown in the browser is by reloading the page 2-3times. The same holds for any links i click within the iTunes store. At first i thought it might be internet related, but iTunes is the only app i have a problem with.
    Any help on this is much appreciated, or if someone can point me to logs or anything that might give me a sniff of what is happening.
    Cheers

    IE8 seems to be the only browser that will open itunes store links on Windows 7. You can report it to Apple.

  • Some confusing issues and their solution while working with InCopy stories.

    Hi All,<br />Last few months I have been working on InDesign/InCopy workFlow.I faced lot many problems and able to find solutions for some of them.I am putting down some of  the problems I haved faced and the approaches I followed to get the solutions.<br />So here I go...<br />First I will put the issues I faced and then their common solution.<br /><br />Issue 1)A text frame exported as a InCopy file.<br />InterfacePtr<IDataLinkReference> dataLinkReference(frameUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());<br />if(dataLinkReference == nil)<br />break;<br />UID linkUID = dataLinkReference->GetUID();<br />If(linkUID == kInvlaidID)<br />Break;<br /><br />The linkUID is always equal to kInvalidUID.<br /><br />Issue 2)A graphics frame with image placed inside it and exported as an InCopy file.<br />In this case the linkUID will have a valid UID.<br />So the code ahead is<br /><br />UIDRef linkRef(frameUIDRef.GetDataBase(), linkUID); <br />InterfacePtr<IDataLink> dataLink(linkRef, UseDefaultIID()); <br />if(dataLink != nil)<br />{<br />  PMString linkedFilePath = *(dataLink->GetFullName());<br />}<br /><br />so here the linkedFilePath will be the file path of the linked incopy file and not of that image file.<br /><br />Issue 3)A graphics frame with image placed inside it but without any associated InCopy file.<br />The linkedFilePath is that of filePath of an image.<br /><br />The solution I found was..<br />The reason for this confusing behaviour is, InCopy frame has one more UIDRef associated with the InCopy story.<br />So to get the incopy related UIDRef we have to use the following code.<br /><br />UIDRef incopyStoryUIDRef = Utils<IInCopyWorkFlowUtils>()->GetContainingInCopyStory(itemUIDRef);<br /><br />The problem with above api is in case of the graphic frame the itemUIDRef should be the UIDRef of the frame and in case of text frame the itemUIDRef should be the UIDRef of the text story i.e the text model.<br />To get the proper UIDRef use following code<br />//code start<br />UIDRef storyUIDRef(frameUIDRef.GetDataBase());<br />InterfacePtr<IPMUnknown> unknown(frameUIDRef,IID_IUNKNOWN);<br />if(unknown == nil)<br />{<br />break;<br />}<br />UID textFrameUID = Utils<IFrameUtils>()->GetTextFrameUID(unknown);<br />if(textFrameUID != kInvalidUID)<br />{<br />isTextFrame = kTrue;<br />UIDRef textFrameUIDRef(frameUIDRef.GetDataBase(),textFrameUID);<br />InterfacePtr<ITextFrame> textFrame(textFrameUIDRef,UseDefaultIID());<br />if(textFrame == nil)<br />{<br />break;<br />}<br />ITextModel * txtMdl = textFrame->QueryTextModel();<br />if(txtMdl == nil)<br />{<br />break;<br />}<br /><br />storyUIDRef = GetUIDRef(txtMdl);<br />result =  Utils<IInCopyBridgeUtils>()->IsInCopyStory(storyUIDRef);<br />               <br />}<br />else<br />{<br />isTextFrame = kFalse;<br />result = Utils<IInCopyWorkFlowUtils>()->IsInCopyStory(frameUIDRef);<br />storyUIDRef = frameUIDRef;               <br />}<br />//code end.<br /><br />Then use<br />UIDRef incopyStoryUIDRef = Utils<IInCopyWorkFlowUtils>()->GetContainingInCopyStory(storyUIDRef );<br /><br />Once you have the proper incopyStoryUIDRef, the following code works uniformely and you will always get the incopy file irrespective of the type of frame.<br /><br />IDataLink * dLink = Utils<IInCopyBridgeUtils>()->QueryDataLink(incopyStoryUIDRef);<br />if(dLink == nil)<br />{                                   <br />break;<br />}<br />so dLink->GetFullName() will always give you the incopy file path associated with the frame.<br /><br />Hope this helps somebody working on InCopy stories.<br /><br />But I still could not find the way to find the image file path associated with the graphic incopy story.(refer issue 2 above.).Using above approach I always get the file path of associated incopy file.<br /><br />I will keep this thread updated as and when I encounter with some more issues and find their solutions.<br /><br />Thanks and Regards,<br />Yopangjo.

    I cannot explain why your iMac worked ok.  I too have seen situations where "lower cost" WiFi routers like Belkin and LInksys have "sort of" worked but had problems.
    Back in 2004 after buying a fairly large house I purchased an off-brand WiFi gateway that featured high power output so I could mount it centrally in the house and be able to use WiFi everywhere.  Even though this thing was rated well and had the high-power everyone said would help it gave me continuous problems.
    One day a buddy gave me an Apple Airport (the one that looks like a apple power adapter).  I plugged it in where I had the high power unit in place and suddenly I had amazing WiFi speed and coverage EVERYWHERE. I could not believe it!  That day I ordered an Airport Extreme and it has been fantastic.
    I then recommended this solution to a friend of mine that had an Apple MacBook and he had nothing but trouble and went back to his linksys.  So it is a mixed bag.
    Currently I have three WiFi devices:  A TimeCapsule downstairs, an Airport Extreme upstairs and a LInkSys in a utility closet.  The LinkSys is needed because my son's GF's Windows computer will not connect to anything else.
    Anyway glad you figured something out.

  • Hyperlink destination names disappear when incopy stories returned to designer

    in indesign cs3 i made a bunch of links in a catalog i'm working on, within chapters, between chapters and to urls. incopy stories were packaged and sent to the editor. when the package was returned after edits, and stories in indesign were updated, the hyperlink destination names all disappeared and became generic. this is a major impact on meeting my deadline. did i mess up? is this a bug? any and all suggestions are welcome.
    thanks!

    is there some way i can send a pdf to show you what happens? not sure that would help, but it's maybe worth a try.

  • Problem with Icon in App Store Browse Screen

    Hi folks,
    My app just got approved and I can search for and install it fine.  However, when I browse for it on the App Store, I get a black box where my logo should be:
    <image not shown but it's self-explanatory>
    Now it's possible that this is because my logo is black on transparent, but other boxes here show other colors (like white, light blue, etc.)  How do I set that so my icon shows up?  Also, do I need to go through another approval process to make
    this change? 
    The icon looks correct in the search screen, so this is a bit irritating.
    Bill

    Hi Bill,
    I would suggest you resubmit the app again, and make notes to the testers that you are only updating the app icon. If the issue persists, go ahead and open
    support ticket so this can be looked into further.
    Thanks,

  • Itunes 9 a let-down, app store browser user-unfriendly?

    Hi,
    maybe I'm just missing something, but I find that that the new version is a let down. It's slow as ever and the appstore page is totally cluttered. There's so much talk of the endless number of applications that have been developed for the iphone. But finding what you're looking for can be a right pain, because the start page shows nothing but the most popular ones and the browser is in my opinion really user-unfriendly.
    First you need to select app store, then click on a category, wait a while and eventually the list builds up right in front of you. But take a closer look and you'll see that a. the table is the same as for mp3/songs (trackname, released, genre (I am using the German version and don't know the English equivalent).
    Next you select a line if you see something that catches your eye and would love to get more details, but there are none. Do a right click on the same line and the a window will pop up that makes a lot of sense for mp3s (the one with trackname, tracknumber, album name, realease date, cover picture etc) but is utterly useless if you're looking for an application. Wouldn't it make sense to show the details of the application in a pop-up window, although, sure this could also be implemented in a different way.
    In any case it goes from bad to worse, because say you double-clicked on a line, read the application description, and decided it's not what you're looking for - how do you get back to the previous list?
    Easy you think. Just click the little arrow in the top left of the app store window, but truth is the arrow takes you back to the very front page of the app store, which means that you have to select brows from the quick links section and so on and so forth one more time. It wouldn't be so bad if Itunes weren't so sluggish.
    Any help or ideas appreciated.
    Regards
    Stephan

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • App store browser on iPad loses it's place

    While browsing the app store, after viewing an app's detail, the browser frequently starts over at the 1st screen of apps in the category - rather than where I was previously browsing.
    This is very frustrating - especially in a category of thousands of apps.
    When can this bug be fixed ?

    This is related to the amount of free RAM - there isn't enough to remember its place.  Try double-clicking the home button, then tap and hold on the icons that appear.  When they jiggle, tap the top left corner to close apps.  iOS is supposed to manage this by itself, and on the whole it does, but it isn't perfect.

  • App Store browsing still rough around the edges

    So here is a frustrating experience with the App Store application. Not sure if this happens in iBooks, etc but I'm sure other people can validate.
    So I am browsing for an app I want to buy. Let's say I want to browse the entire apps for children section. I go into the popular/best selling apps list and I move the list across and see that the 41st app might be kind interesting. So I touch (click) on it and it takes me to the details of that app. Now this is all working as expected. However, when I go back a page, it starts back at the original view. i.e. Listing apps #1, #2, etc...so again, I have to scroll to the 41st app to start where I left off last. I do this a few times, at the 50th app and then the 55th app and everytime I go back a page, I am presenting with an increasingly irritating view of the list from position #1 again.
    Can we please have an App store app that remembers where you were and what position in the page you were on so when users go back a page, we are presented with the page and section of the page where we left off? Please???

    According to the T&Cs, Apple monitors/filters these forums and;
    General Clause 6. Apple involvement. Apple does not formally provide technical support on the Site. However, any information that is provided by Apple or Apple employees is offered on an “AS IS” basis without warranties of any kind.
    So I would suggest that Apple does monitor it for this kind of input but may choose not to respond which I am fine with.

  • App store browsing

    I am absolutely stunned at how poorly the app store is implemented on the iPad.  There is no way to refine categories (types of games for instance) and browsing very deep into a category is almost painful and for some reason the most useful app discovery tool for me on my iPod, the top free and top paid for each category is not in the iPad version.  Am I completely paranoid for thinking Apple has some reason for intentionally making app discovery more difficult and painful? Perhaps to increase to their ability to pick winners but featuring them?

  • Albums in "Purchased" section not reflected in Store browsing.

    Okay, can anyone help with this? I have signed out of iTunes, quit, relaunched and signed back in.
    If I go browse an artist I like in the iTunes Store, I naturally want to find things I don't already own.
    This is on a Mac 10.9.2 shopping in iTunes. 11.whatever.
    But items I've bought are not showing up. Some are, some are not. For example. I purchased ALL SIX of these on iTunes.
    AND they are all downloaded on the Mac I'm shopping from. They're in my Library.
    Now, if I go to my "Purchased" section, everything is accurate.
    So? ***? How do I get the Store display correct? After all, that's where I need to know what I own. When I'm shopping for new music.

  • InDesign crashes while trying to update InCopy stories.

  • ITunes Store Browsing History

    Just wondering: Like a web browser, if there any way to view the music, videos, etc. you've visited in the iTunes Store over time? Like the Safari History menu in the iTunes Store? Just wondering.

    There is not a long-term history like browsers. The most iTunes can do is simply remember the last handful of pages you visited, and you can go back and forth between them in the upper left hand corner. Also, you can click and hold down the mouse button on the back or forward arrow, to see a longer list of pages you recently visited. However, that is the extent of iTunes remembering what pages you went to.
    If you think you stumble across some content you'll want to go back to, maybe try adding certain items to your Wish List, which you can access at any time from the home page or account drop down menu,

  • APPS STORE browsing

    When I am browsing a category in the apps store and I tap on an app to get more info, why does my browsing go back to the beginning of the category list when I press BACK (when I am done looking at that app)? This thing happens when I am far into the category list like at the 300th or so app, seldom does this happen when in the beginning of my browsing. Is this annoying and bug happening to anyone else?

    It happens to just about everybody just about all the time, and has frequently been discussed in these and other forums. If you'd like to add you voice to those requesting a change, do it via the

  • App store browsing problem

    When growing apps on my iPad, I select one to read the details. When I select "Back," the page goes back to the first page of listings. Also, I have selected "Most Popular," but it reverts to "Newest Released." How to fix?

    I really hate this when it happens wail browsing the app store. Send feedback to Apple. Anothr letter on the pile might wake Apple up and compel them to fix it. I think this is the only issue that everyone has agreed on...!
