InDesign 2014 files don't save in the same location as the original file

The behavior in InDesign CC was to automatically save the file in the same location. I understand this is a new version, and saving my InDesign 2014 files should open a save dialogue. But I don't understand why InDesign seems unaware of the file's location. In this new version I have to navigate to the files location to overwrite, and that is taking extra time that the previous version did not require. Is there a way to restore the previous behavior. I have looked in Preferences, but I can't find a way to revert to the old behavior. Any advice would be appreciated. -Thanks.

As Peter noted, it has ALWAYS been this way. It’s a one time thing.

How can i output information at the same location of the console?

I want to print some messages at the same line(location) of the console
how can i do that?
thank a lot!

If I understand correctly, it is console specific with cursor controls that your console understands.

How can I return to the same position in the calling order details form

I am Calling a form for creating a new item from order details form, so after creating The new item I want to returned the item code to the calling form to same position in The order details form , how can I return to the same position in the order details form
Waiting for your valuable answer .
Best regards

Dear Friends
My actual problem description as the following
I have a form for production order screen , and this form contain header and details blocks , so the user in the details will select Type Code , and he will go the next field that is Item Code Field search for specific Item Code if it is not exist he has to call the Item Definition Form by using this script
CALL_FORM(ITEM_DEFINITION);
Then when he finished defining the Item , and I assign the item code as the following in the :
WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED TRIGGER
:GLOBAL.ITEM_CODE_VAR := :ITEM_CODE;
DO_KEY('exit_form');
But I don't know where to keep this assignment
:ITEM_CODE := :GLOBAL.ITEM_CODE_VAR;
inside the caller form in which trigger do I have to use when it return from the caller form it should assign the :GLOBAL.ITEM_CODE_VAR to the :ITEM_CODE and the cursor it should show inside the ITEM_CODE , and as I mention it does not return to the same location of The ITEM_CODE when it return from the calling form
Waiting for your valuable answer .
With example please .

Will interlocked operation only prevent other interlocked operation on the same location or any visit to the same location?

when reading
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163715.aspx , i found the following statement:
interlocked operations guarantee that the update is atomic. This requires the processor to insure that no other processor is also trying to execute an interlocked operation on the same location at the same time.
my question is, what if other thread is trying to read the same location at the same time without using a interlocked operation, will an interlocked operation prevent this?
I was using a readerwriter lock to sync my threads operation on an object. and i found interlocked.compareexchange is handy to initialize the object: interlocked.compareexchange(ref object, FunctionThatReturnAnIntializedObject(),null). However, i am not
sure whether other threads can read that object during the interlocked operation? If they can, how can i prevent them?

"However, i am not sure whether other threads can read that object during the interlocked operation? If they can, how can i prevent them?"
If I understand correctly you're trying to lazy initialize a variable.
Why aren't you using Lazy<T> to begin with, it does exactly what you want if you use LazyThreadSafetyMode.PublicationOnly.
But to answer to your question: mixing interlocked and non-interlocked accesses is problematic. There are a lot of cases where doing this won't work and some cases where it works.
In your particular case this interlocked/non-interlocked mix should work fine. In addition to being atomic .NET's interlocked operations are also supposed to be full fences. A full fence prevents other read/writes from being moved before/after the interlocked
operation and that's exactly what you need to prevent the writes required to initialize the object from being moved after interlocked.
If the thread that doesn't use interlocked to read the object variable gets a non-null reference then it means that the initialization of the object was done, otherwise it couldn't have got a non-null reference in the first place.
There is a small chance to run into a problem caused by compiler optimizations. If the thread that doesn't use interlocked has a loop like the following then it's possible that the loop will never end.
while (object == null) { ... }
That's because in the absence of volatile and interlocked the compiler can read "object" into a register before the loop. The loop test will keep comparing the register value with null and the loop will never end. Such a situation is rather unlikely
but you should make the object variable volatile to avoid this.

Why can't FC save the folder locations set for render files?

I wrongly assumed that when you go to system settings to select the scratch disks (root folder where all the audio and video render folders and files go, capture files, etc.) that Final Cut would save the folder locations within the FC project you are working in. Makes total sense, but for reasons I don't understand, FC does NOT save these folder locations and the result is that I have render files scattered all over the place on my hard drive and it is quite a mess! Fortunately, the project file remembers where it put the render files, so as long as you don't remove or rename any project folders, everything shows up rendered on the time line as it should. The problem is, if I'm working on several projects at once, I have to reset the scratch disks every time I reopen a project, otherwise the program will save it to the last scratch location selected and put all of the render files in another project's folder. I often forget to reset the scratch disks when I'm busy and now I have render files mixed up in various project folders.
Why can't you just set the scratch disks one time when you first set up the project and have the project always remember that location, instead of always having to reset them every time you reopen a project. I love Final Cut, but this is a product defect that should be addressed and corrected. If the project file can remember where it is putting all the render files, it should also be capable of remembering the scratch disk locations you originally selected when you first set up the project or better yet, save it to the project's root folder by default. Am I missing something here?

As MtD describes, FCP sets file locations for ALL projects at the system level. It may help to organize things this way so your files don't end up scattered across multiple locations.
Save the project files to your User folder on the boot drive.
For all the other files FCP creates, set them on a non-boot drive similar to this:
Media Drive
----->FCP Documents
---------->Autosave Vault
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
---------->Audio Render Files
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
---------->Capture Scratch
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
----------->Render Files
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
----------->Waveform Cache
Of course, you can choose to keep renders or the Autosave Vault folder on other drives ... just keep them off your boot drive. It may not be the way you're use to working, but it's worked well for me the past 14 years. When you finish with a project and ready to delete the associate files, just go to your media drive and delete folders bearing the project's name.

How to Save XML file in the same directory as the swf file automatically?

Hi all,
I'm really new here with flash and actionscript 3, so i might not make any sense, probably. Any input is greatly appreciated.
So here's my problem, i'm trying to make a Top Score history for a flash game, which i load from an XML file. The problem comes to when i want to update the XML file. how do i do that automatically without prompting the user (ofcourse). I want it to be saved automatically to the same directory as the flash file.
here's my code right now, but it prompts the user where it wants to be saved, which i don't want to happen:
var xml:XML = <XML>
                    <topScoreList>
                    </topScoreList>
              </XML>;
for(var i:Number=0; i<10; i++)
     var Record:XML = <Record>
                         <score></score>
                         <playerName></playerName>
                    </Record>;
     Record.score.appendChild(topScores[i].toString()); //topScores[] -> class variable containing scores
     Record.playerName.appendChild(topNames[i].toString()); //topNames[] -> class variable containing names
     xml.topScoreList.appendChild(Record);
var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
ba.writeUTFBytes(xml);
var fr:FileReference = new FileReference();
fr.save(ba, "topScoreList.xml");

yeah that makes sense, actually - after reading a dozen more forums. It's really weird tho that flash doesn't have a Buffer writer, unlike other programming frameworks.
But yeah, thanks. i'll start reading on flash.net.SharedObject, correct ? Thanks.
Anyways, if anyone out there has a different input, will be greatly appreciated!!

[CS3] [JS] Export PDF to the same folder as the InDesign file

Hi,
I have written a JavaScript to export an InDesign file to a PDF file.
The exporting works fine when exporting to a specific folder, but I want the script to export the PDF to the SAME folder as the InDesign file.
For example, if the Indesign file is in a folder called "Owner's Manuals", I want the script to save the PDF into the same "Owner's Manuals" folder.
At the moment I have:
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ('Choose a Folder');
but this dialog defaults to the Desktop every time, forcing me to click 6-7 times to locate the relevant folder where I want the PDF to be saved, which is a waste of time.
I want the script to do something like the following:
"Find out the location of this InDesign file, and export the PDF to the same folder"
I have searched this forum, as well as the Scripting Reference, but without any luck.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
Please another another one time check it out..
//Do not open the PDF Export dialog box. Set "false" to "true" if you want the dialog box.
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false, "Press Quality");
Instead I used
var ExPDFs= File(Final+myBaseName + ".pdf");
pdfPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("Sample");
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, ExPDFs, false, pdfPreset);
Here I think u made mistake in "pdfPreset " passing argument...
I used Sample -> PDF Preset name, but u passing PDF Preset is directly [Press Quality]... thats all.
Then how come u say this script is not working....like that?.
I used this script in my Projects U know?.
Please try to reveal and check throughly after that U say the word "Thanks for your suggestion, but it did not work."
OK.

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of A

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

How can I change the time of photos in info in iPhoto for iOS. I've done it in iPhoto for Mac but when I sync to my ipad the info field goes back to the camera time ignoring "modify original files" in iPhoto for Mac?

I used "adjust date and time" and"modify original files" to correct the time of photos taken on a camera used in Peru which was set to UK rather than local time. which is 6 hours behind. This was to bring them into line with shots taken with other cameras set to local time. This was using iphoto 08 on a Mac. I then synced to my iPad. The photos stayed in the correct order in photos but in iphoto (iOS version) the original dates appear (the camera dates) and so the photos are out of chronological order again. This looks like a bug but is there a fix?

don't know what you mean by "write to master" but speculate that it means modify the original times, in which case the taken times on the camera should no longer be present
No,I meant your using the option "modify original files" will do exactly that - change the capture date original master files stored in the iPhoto library. Only when you do that, the "date modified" of your original files will be changed as well, and it will now be the date of your manipulation of the capture date.
Oh - I hadnt considered that possibility - but of that were the case, why don't my manipulated photos go to the end of the sequence as I have done all the manipulation after the end of the holiday??
In photos the synced album maintains the chronological order which I set up on the mac by modifying the originals, as you said,
That is what the linked article is describing: "some apps may sort your photos in the order you specify in the app (such as iPhoto or Aperture"
The problem I have is that, in the album, iphoto (ipad) sorts them differently to both iphoto (Mac) and the photos tab on the ipad
In addition to albums and events, synced photos appear in a unified category called Photo Library (on iPad, this is the Photos tab). Photos are not duplicated. This category will also sort photos in ascending order by the date modified.
"on ipad this is the Photos tab" - but this displays as per the original sequence ignoring time adjustments - the manipulations seem to be ignored (but are reflected in the album in the photos tab) and the photos tahat have been modified stay in their original positiom - they don't get put the end
Because the library uses a different date - the date modified - the date of the last time the file has been changed in any way - any editing you do to your image, including adjust date and time will change the "date modified"
This may change the sorting of the database but it appears not to influence the order in the albums
In addition to albums and events, synced photos appear in a unified category called Photo Library (on iPad, this is the Photos tab). Photos are not duplicated. This category will also sort photos in ascending order by the date modified.
So how can i get my photos in date and time order in an album in iphoto for ipad?
Thanks for your help

I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work. How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac OS version 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work. How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)." My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac? Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.

QuickTime Player 10.1 no more includes the ability to save a movie file in the same format as the original movie after editing it? No, it doesn't!

Since upgraded to Lion, I have to wait for QuickTime Player 10.1 to "CONVERT" every file that I edited in it.
Yes, it might save some disk space for me.(Which is not always the case though.) But it also takes almost 10 times or more as it did when back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 there I could save any file in the same format as the original movie WITH NO NEED TO CONVERT IT.
Now I have to wait like 10 minutes to delete just a few frames.(The time it takes depends upon the original size of that movie. The larger the longer.) And guess what? If you have two clips originally split up from a movie and sperately getting saved(converted actually) with a loooooooot of time, and you naively added one of them to the other's end and then saved the finished one. It converts AGAIN! Doing so back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 only takes you even a few seconds only!
Seriously, are we eating Apple or dirt this time?

My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
It seems obvious from other forum posts this is a planned move so that everything is the "new mobile device" ready state/format. To use Marc Speth's post as material....
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23749558#23749558
this is probably about dumbing down desk top OS to that pf iPhones and iPads. This is not what I paid good money to own a Mac Book Pro for....
Today I rolled all the back to Snow Leopard. Really good move...... All those new features hey? I lost the ability to work in spaces and of course the whole Quicktime debacle.
The rolling back process was easy, restored from a point prior to installing Lion and Mavericks and the only issue was my iPhoto libraries. Thank my stars that I still had back ups that I had not converted yet.... viva la Mavericks...NOT. Apple can keep it.
Unsure if you are just venting or if there is supposed to be a question here. Basically, I assumed this to be Apple's idea of an improvement. That is, I really believe the ProRes 422 codec is a better intermediate codec than the AIC codec but most of my old HDV camcorder family tapes were imported by iMovie (for compatibility with my wife's non-FCP computer configuration) and, like your content, is/remains stored as AIC/PCM MOV files. At first I thought this might be a generalized change affecting all QT X based apps but when I went to check the latest iMovie v10.0 update, became confused when I noted that AIC source files were not automatically updated to ProRes 422 and continue to play natively in the iMovie source media viewer.
I guess this is supposed to be a logical evoluption and we were supposed to have seen the "handwriting on the wall" dating back to when Apple's first released the free ProRess "player" ProRes 422 codec. Still, it would have been nice if Apple had given some warning during the last few years so users could plan and prepare for such a drastic change. For the moment, I am just thankful that AIC remains, at least temporarily, supported nativelyby the iMovie video editor under Mavericks. Thank goodness for small favors.

How do I get the data in the CSV file to be in the same order as the form?

When I merge my data from multiple form submissions into a csv file, the data is completely out of order, which makes it pretty much useles. How can I make it export the data in the same order? Also, the headers of each column or garbled. For example:
Depth (mm) shows in excel as Depth__mm__aqWhxx1nhpwx*3sgoBx9UQ
Lesion Location with check boxes: Face, Scalp, Trunk shows as each individual: Lesion_Location_1_15w4B5z9Kg2FKrkCPa6Wvg or Lesion_Location_3_15w4B5z9Kg2FKrkCPa6Wvg.
What I want is for the data produced to be in the same order as the form and with the same headers.
Also, I created several help texts that don't appear in the form.
I'd be happy to upload any of the files (form template, form pdf, csv file) if there is a way to.
I used Adobe Forms Central to create the forms in Acrobat XI Pro. I'm on a windows 7 computer.
Thank you for your help

Some of this is just the way it is with a PDF form created with FormsCentral. The fields get those names to ensure that they are unique, since the FormsCentral designer app does not allow yo to specify the field names directly. A fixt would be to create the form in Acrobat and you can give the fields any name you want. You can also change the field names in Acrobat after first removing the usage rights from the PDF by selecting: File > Save a Copy
and renaming the fields to what you want. Also remove the submit button it added. You can then upload the edited PDF to FormsCentral and Distribute it. It looks as though the order of the fields in the table are alphabetical, so it you rename your fields so they will be in the order you want when arranged alphabetically (e.g., A1_Patient_ID, A2_Biopsy_Age, etc.), that might be an approach to take. Also, if this is for human patient data, check for regulatory compliance of this system. FormsCentral is specifically not HIPAA compliant as stated in the license agreement.

Saving a mp3 file with the same bitrate as the original

When I import an mp3 file at a bitrate of f.i. 196 kbps and I alter this file you can choose two options. "save" and "save as". If I choose "save as" I can choose the bitrate etc.
If I however choose the "save" button you should think that it will save the file at the same bitrate as the original. This is not the case. It will only save the file at 128 kbps no matter at what bitrate the original file is.
I think that Adobe can simply adjust this in an update or did I miss something so I can set this myself. Currenly I use the demo version and I am thinking of buying this program because it is very good for what I do and it resembles my old Audition a lot except the lack of multitrack recording.

Hi Piet and Ray,
This is a bug that affects re-encoding an mp3 and overwriting the original. While we don't recommend re-encoding compressed audio data due to generative quality loss, we regret that in this scenario it also introduces bitrate loss.
If you choose "Save As..." instead of "Save," you should be able to export your file as an mp3 at the bitrate of your choice.
Unfortunately, we discovered this bug after Soundbooth had been sent to the manufacturer. We have fixed it internally and if we provide an update, it will be included. I'm sorry about this bug and hope the workaround is not too much trouble.
Thanks,
Durin

I have an iMac 5.1 with Mac OSX 10.6.8 and 2 GB memory and an L2 cache of 4 GB. lately I have been receiving error messages of " start up disk almost full; please delete files." is the start up disk the same thing as the hard drive?

I have an iMac 5.1 with Mac OSX 10.6.8 and 2 GB memory and an L2 cache of 4 GB. lately I have been receiving error messages of " start up disk almost full; please delete files." is the start up disk the same thing as the hard drive? I opened the hard drive and from the column on the left of the menu I've selected "search for" and under that " all images" then "all documents" I've deleted a few files from each. Are documents and images that I have deleted from here also deleted from the folders on my desktop?

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Delete any other mail in your Junk folders. Also, look through your Sent Mail to see if there is anything that can be deleted.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

2 different files in the same location?

When we upload files they go all in one folder.
The first editor calls his graphic "Picture 1.png" (wonder where that came from..)
Sure sometimes before the item gets deleted another one will upload an completly different picture with the same filename.
The thing that it different between the 2 would be the Asset ID. So I was wondering if there is a way to make folders with asset IDs in the location where everybody uploads there stuff to.
To tidy up on the long run I guess we just would need to delete the empty folders (as the content has been archived).
How would I do this? How do other people deal with the same filenames for different files? It even happens within the same production so the solution to create an subfolder for each production (read this a while ago) does not work for us.
I know that for future projects we will tell people to use more describing filenames (but even there: there might be two different kitchens called the same..) but I also talk about a huge, messy archive to migrate..
thanks

Let me rephrase things a bit as I used the term Excel chart to literally. We create charts in SSRS. We then use a query string that includes "rs:command=render&rs:format=Excel" to get the chart into Excel. The "chart" in Excel is really just an
image and the associated data table is the cells filled in with the data. We then "select" the area that encompasses all of these objects and paste that into the PowerPoint slide.
Our source folder structure is as follows (note that I while I am being generic, the Ecel file names are the same between folders:
Folder A: File1.xls, File2.xls, File3.xls ..... File40.xls
Folder B: File1.xls, File2.xls, File3.xls .....File40.xls
This goes on for 8 folders but can be as many as 30
The routine we use to create the xls file from the SSRS chart names the xls file and puts it in the correct folder.
The idea was we would create a template chart set in PPT for folder A and then create copies of the PPT and change the links to point to Folder B, etc.
We have ensured that all Excel Documents are closed when we try to do an update.
We are also getting the following error and I'm paraphrasing: Cannot open multiple instances of a file of the same name even if it is in a different location. This occurs when doing an update links when we don't get the initial error message I listed first.
If we change the names of the files in each folder: i.e. FolderAFile1.xls, FolderAFile2.xls, etc then we can do the update links. This is time consuming as the SSRS exports are done by the end users and we are the developers trying to create a reusable solution.
One other issue we are seeing which I hope you can address is that when we are getting the update links to work, the process opens up each Excel file THREE times. It takes almost 15 minutes to update a PPT with 18 linked xls files.
