InDesign CS2 & Leopard: Place & Export dialog box areas cutoff

I am having severe problems with InDesign CS2 and Leopard, and before anyone says "upgrade to CS3", we can't.
Almost every time I go to place a graphic or export a PDF, the system hangs for a few seconds with the wheel spinning, then InDesign just quits.
I also notice that part of the dialog boxes get cut off near the top.
Anyone have similar problems?

Even upgrading won't eliminate all the Leopard incompatibilities. If you
upgraded to Leopard from Tiger the best advice is to go back.
Have a look around this forum and the Creative Suite forum for plenty of
conversation.

Indd CS4 save/export Dialog Boxes are so small :(

I have a 24" iMac and now have installed Indesign CS4. The save/place/export dialog boxes are so small. I have dragged them larger and that is great.
But it does not stay that way across the program or even the same document...
I don't know if I did something different on CS3 but once I set it, it seemed to always remember the setting even on new documents.

I can't help but I can confirm I'm getting the same problems in the CS4 apps, not just InDesign (with Leopard 10.5.5). I hope a fix for this comes out eventually. As Mike says, it happens with Save, Save As, Print To Postscript etc so I encounter it at least a hundred times a day. Very frustrating.

Portal 7.3 masthead customization - How to remove Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"

Portal 7.3 masthead customization - How to remove Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"
I have recently upgraded our portal to 7.3 sps10 and we are using the Ajax framework
I have a requirement to Remove the Logoff Dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"
I am able to Import masthead.war into NWDS and get the project ready for development with the appropriate jar and libraries.
I am able to deploy the project also. I need help finding How to turn this dialog box off and just log the user off. I was able to accomplish this in Classic frame work page HeaderiView.jsp.
I have looked at afpmasthead.org.sj and masthead.jsp. I am not a js/jsp developer.
I can see the logoff dialog box being created but I am having trouble finding the logoff code.
Please advise me on the code changes required to remove the Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?" from the Ajax framework.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Sarah

Thank you Troy for your Helpful Threads.
Problem Solution:
Followed the thread on How to download and change AFP Masthead on SAP Portal 7.3
Located the file which contains the logoff code from thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/3265584
The File with the Logoff coding in it is a Javascript file afpmasthead.js
Identified logoff code without dialog box using this thread https://scn.sap.com/thread/3307601
NovaDialogBox.performLogout(); (perform logoff)
I was able to remove the Logoff dialog box Do you really want to logoff? And replace it with logging the user off.
afpmasthead.js All the code is on 1 line, To fix this go to -->Source -->Format
Comment out the following lines of code and replace with logoff code
logoffLinkElement.onmouseup= function(aS) {
logoffLinkElement.onmouseup= function(aS) {
NovaDialogBox.performLogout();

Set location of print and export dialog boxes?

Is there any way to set the location of the print and export dialog boxes in the viewer?
To say, have the dialog box show up in the top left corner instead of in the middle of the document?

There's no easy way to customize that for the viewer.
Some people make the toolbar invisible and write their own controls.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Having a little trouble with the "export" dialog box

Hi all,
When I get to the export dialog box, I'm not able to type directly in the "Custom Name" space. I have to click around and fiddle with some of the drop-down menus (and then get back to the "name format" that I like) and only then can I triple-click or backspace on the former name and input a new name in the "Custom Name" blank.
Also, the "Export Versions" tab is highlighted, but hitting the "return" key doesn't make the export happen. I have to mouse up to that button and click it that way.
Is anyone else having any trouble with inputting information on the export page? And ideas?
Thanks as always.

Yes, the name format is Custom Name with Index. But when I click in the field, I can't edit it.
Mark,
For me, this preset is working well. Have you checked, if the preset for "Custom Name with Index" correct? You can verify it, by setting the "File Naming" format to "Edit". The preset should look like this:
I'd try to edit the preset, save it, and edit it back, to create a new preset file.
If that does not help, remove the user Aperture User Preferences, as described in this document: Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
And as I said, hitting "return" doesn't start the export.
That also your "Export" button is not responding to return, even if it is highlighted in blue, is a sign, that your preferences file might have a problem.

Léonie

System dialog boxes are in Franglais - help!

I have noticed that over the past few weeks software installation dialog boxes are in a mixture of French and English. In researching this I have discovered that it is not just software installation: for example if I click the padlock to authenticate in Users and Groups, it says "System Preferences essaie de déverrouiller les préférences Utilisateurs et groupes. Type your password to allow this." I have tried resetting the language to English in Terminal and enabling the root user in order to check that it too was set to English. This is all I could find in the forum. What else is there to do?

More people have reported the problem. Read > https://discussions.apple.com/message/21687010#21687010

Is there dialog box are available in final release?

is there dialog box are available in final release?

You can make your own to some extent by borrowing an old web approach where you just overlay your panels so the front one (the 'dialog') is over the top of your content. You have to roll your own glasspane, close buttons, etc (but on the plus side they are then easy to style) and also it's not a true popup so if your dialog doesn't fit in the containing window it will not float outside of it.
See the code in this post for some more info: Effect that Will Darken a Node and all its children
On a stylistic front, I would also suggest only using dialogs for very small popup-style questions and avoid them for anything major. In my opinion the web has shown us that simpler is better - just go to a new 'page' (i.e. replace the main content of your view) if your 'dialog' is more complex and allow them to tab or 'forward/back' between each view. Swing was a far superior and more powerful UI technology than html/web ever was or ever could be and yet HTML knocked us out of the water by being very simple for users and also pretty-out-of-the-box. There's some lessons for us Java desktop developers there as JFX2 ushers us into the modern development eco-system. :)

CS3 Design Premium Save As/Export Dialog Boxes Hidden

I posted this originally on the InDesign forum
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b652e3
- since then, the problem seems to have expanded to the rest of the programs in the CS3 (or it was already existent and I didn't bother testing against it).
Original Post
'i"Every time I try to save, export, save as, or (recently) even open a new document now, the dialog box opens with the various options for a split second and then disappears. I think it disappears behind InDesign, but cannot be sure as InDesign will not minimize, even when I Force Minimize everything (Windows-H).
'iSearched the forums high and low, and tried all of the suggested solutions. I'm on a single-monitor setup. I have reset preferences, deleted/drug out the Documents and Settings InDesign 5.0 Preferences Folder, re started etc. At my whit's end and don't really know what else to do. Are there any other fixes?"
I know for a fact that Photoshop at least was working fine yesterday (created, saved and saved as multiple layered tiffs). I cannot remember if Version Cue updated just before I left or if I could properly create, save, and save-as then too and it was only after turning it off and returning this morning that it stopped working. Either way, any ideas?
Thanks,
Zach

Okay, awesome! I did that and now the Open dialog box is showing - none of the others are though - does this mean that I'll need to go to each of my dialog boxes missing (save, save as) etc., resize in pshop to use correctly in InDesign? What do I do for the dialog boxes that are in InDesign and aren't showing, but are not in Photoshop (ala "Open New Library" or "Open New Book?")
Thanks a lot for your help.

Problem with Indesign CS3 missing save as dialog box

I am having problems saving documents with Indesign CS3. I have upgraded it to the latest version, repaired permissions, shut down a restarted to no avail. This is Indesign CS3 running on a Macbook under Leopard 10.5.2. You can select save and it appears to save a file. However, if you select "save as", the dialog box to select a location never comes up. Nothing seems to happen. I can't figure it out, and it happens to any file. I have created test files and the same thing happens.
Help!!!

Trash preferences before re-installing. Also, try this weird procedure: open the equivalent dialog in one of the other Suite products on the same computer (assuming they're there). That's been known to solve the problem on Windows machines.

InDesign CS5 crashing from print dialog box

Using CS5, multiple computers, some on Leopard, some on Snow Leopard. Printing to a Xerox Phaser 7500. When we set up to duplex print in the print dialog box, the application shuts down when we hit the "print" button. I've searched all through these forums, and the Xerox site, and can't find anything that sounds like this problem.
Brand new printer, latest drivers, all Mac OS updates applied.
Any ideas?

There are also reports that there are many other types of issues which causes the hang ups, not just printing issues. What I have found is that one of the problem is font related. I found that I had multiple versions of the Times font and that the documents which I had hanging the most would contain the Times font. I deleted the font and replaced it with Cambria. Now those documents seldom will hang. My guess is that neither the latest version of OSX or CS5 works well with older fonts.
I still get an occasional hang which requires me to force quit IDCS5. When I do, about 3 out of 5 times, it sends an crash report to Apple but not to Adobe so I still think their is some conflict between IDCS5 and the operating system. I am currently running OSX 10.6.5.
The problem I find is that I am getting the occasional hangs randomly. Sometimes its when packing a file, sometimes it when selecting the type tool. But I've also run into the problem when opening another document.

SInce Tiger to Leopard Upgrade, Print Dialog Box Is too Basic, No Options

Since I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard recently, it seems the print dialog box for my HP printers (Officejet 8500 Pro Wireless, Photosmart 6150) is small and basic and does not offer the print options I am used to having like selecting a specific page to print instead of printing them all. Any way to restore that functionality and get back to the larger more flexible dialog box?

Thought I did and all that did was offer different printers, but I am wrong and you are right. Blue triangle is exactly what I was looking for.

Open and Save dialog boxes are sorted reverse alpahbetically by default

I have a user that experiences the same frustrating experience every time she restarts Apple Mail. All of her open and save dialog boxes in Mail are sorted from Z to A. She can click the name field to change the sort, but it will return to Z-A if she quits and reopens the program. The Finder is set (and stays) at A-Z. Other applications do not exhibit this problem. I am loathe to reset the preferences since that means having to set up accounts again. Restarting the computer and removing user caches made no difference. Any suggestions? This is an iMac Mid 2008 running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

I solved my own question through trial and error.
Just select "None" on the dropdown selector (see screen capture, above) and the Open/Save dialog will revert to the older version.

Some extension dialog boxes are blank

When I press on some extension buttons (for example Ghostery, Self-Destructing Cookies) on top bar, or on menu bar, to open their dialog boxes, those boxes opens but looks like white blank boxes. They worked before, but now they are empty.
Here an example: http://c2n.me/jqqe35.jpg

This issue can be caused by the Ghostery extension.
*[[/questions/1020685]] Ghostery add-on + FF 31 and newer = Blank options window
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Dreamweaver CS4 MacOS X dialog boxes are displaying the wrong font

Just installed a free font I needed to use for a graphic design project. Opened up Dreamweaver to do a different project and found that all the text in the dialog box was being displayed in this font.
This is pretty maddening to look at - how do I change it back?

Er, uninstall the font?
Installing a new font should not do that to Dreamweaver. It sounds as though you have overwritten a system font.

I need help - Open windows and dialog boxes are ghosting and flashing.

Hi All,
My Mac Pro has recently come down with a "bug". When i open multiple windows they don't seem to cope well with each other and parts of the window behind will still show through the window in front in fragments. When downloading, the loading bar will also flicker and partly show the dialog box behind. The only thing that fixes the broken up windows/dialog boxes is to minimize then maximize again. At first i thought it was a memory issue but the problem occurs with no applications running except for finder. I have done several restarts, updated my software and have checked my hard drive in disk utility and everything appears okay?
I can still operate the machine but it's getting a little annoying. Can anyone help me here?

Hi nayefo,
Try installing multitouch, and then see, while in windows, if you've successfully installed multitouch and multitouch mouse, you should have those drivers. Also check if you've installed trackpad and trackpad enabler.
Cheers,
Erik
