Indesign library drag drop looses xml attributes of Table tag

Hi all,
I have created a Table with 1 row and 3 coloumns, I have text in all 3 cells. I have attaced xml tags to cell text and after that I have added attibutes to Story tag, Table tag and Text tag. I have drag this table frame to Indesign library to save it for further use.
When I tried to drag it back to document the Table tag attributes are missing. This is happening on Indesign CS4 Win and Mac.
I have saved required information in the xml attributes of table tag and since its attributes are missing after drag from library I am not able to use library of Indesign.
Is this an issue with Indesign CS4?
-Rahul Dalvi.

Hi All,
I am still waitng for the reply. I have attached 2 files here, first one is the Indesign document 'TableXMLTags.indd' having a tagged table. second one is the Library file 'TableXMLtagLibrary.indl' in which I have draged table from 'TableXMLTags.indd'. When I tried to drag that table from library to any document it just loses attributes of Table tag. Here each tag has 3 attributes attached to it.
I am using Indesign CS4 on Windows and Macintosh.
Please let me know if there is any way to avoid tag attribute loss.
Thanks,
Rahul Dalvi.

HT1267 i've got about 2500 songs on my iphone, i have replaced my computer & lost my library-question is why can't i drag/drop new downloaded music to my iphone without 'syncing' & losing my 2500 songs from the iphone?

I've got about 2500 songs on my iphone, i have recently replaced my computer because the old one crashed, so i lost all the songs in the itunes library. My question is, it seems that now i am unable to drag/drop new downloaded songs without syncing my iphone & losing my 2500 songs from the phone?

You cannot. Iphone will sync/manually manage music with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing/manually managing with another will erase the current content from the iphone.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Output xml file from data in a drag/drop AIR app.

I am interested in creating a WYSIWYG drag/drop AIR app. in
which I can drag art and other components, then export the (x,y)
positions of the components and other info into an xml file. I am
interested in using .ai files instead of raster based art. Will
Flex/AIR app. support this format? I am just starting to work with
Flash, Flex, etc. Is this way over my head? Possible?
Thanks,
Nate

I don't think you can manipulate .ai files in Flex /
AIR.

Hi,
Javascript
Indesign CS2
PC Version
Any one tell me, i want to display the ids in the margin. i read xml attribute, but i didn't know how to display to the margin. Help me.

One way of doing that is to use JDOM...
u create an xml tree, and then output using XMLOutputter class...it will be displayed in text...im not sure if thats what u want...however, if u do want to represent it visually then u may need to draw a tree...u may use the Graphics2D for that...there are alot of ways to do such thing, and the 2 possibilities arent the best...depends on what u want...elaborate more pls.

Drag drop from bridge to InDesign.

I am having problems with getting drag drop to work from bridge to InDesign. I have made an extension that reads information from ouer dam and shows it in bridge. I wont to bee able to drag a node from that data from bridge(It shows fine in bridge with thumbs) to InDesign. I have enabled:
               if(infosetName == "item" || infosetName == "all")
                    infoset.cacheData.status = "good";
                        if(!currentNode.isContainer())
                            infoset.canBeDragSource = true;
                            infoset.canBeDropTarget = true;
in
        dbiModel.refreshInfoset = function(infosetName)
And made
        dbiModel.addToDrag = function(pointerToOsDragObject)
            return true;
        dbiModel.wouldAcceptDrop = function(type, sources, osDragRef)
            return false;
And are able to drag the node but other applications dosent accept it as valid.

It has just never worked that way and I've never seen a request for it either.
In the Control Panel you have got a Bridge Icon
At the bottom of the document window you have the Browse in Bridge
The Default Shortcut for Bridge is CTRL+ALT+o (CMD+OPT+o)
In Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts under
Product area : Panel Menus
Layout Window Status: Reveal in Bridge --- [none defined]
or
Layout Window Status: Reveal in Mini Bridge --- [none defined]
to add your own shortcut to Reveal in Bridge command
But I just don't see a way to go "Place from Bridge"
In fact - in all the years I've been on the forums I have never seen the request.
However you can make feature requests here
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
And there's a feature request forum
http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/indesign_feature_requests
And in the end - someone might be able to script an option to go to Bridge for File>Place

Drag & Drop artwork & Add to Library not working

Hi all,
This is only a recent problem, using the latest version of iTunes on my Dell XP PC and I'm upable to drag and drop from Windows Explorer into iTunes. I can add music and artwork into iTunes using the 'Add to Library' option but when I try to drag & drop into iTunes, I get a black circle with a diagonal line through it.
Drag & drop from windows explorer to say my desktop works fine. Any thoughts?

Hi Limnos (your reply has now appeared it must have been a time delay!)
I've tried this and it has now readded all the old mp3 & M4a files but is not adding the new AIFF files any more.
I then tried using apple encoder to covert the files and import as M4a but that doesn't work either.
It's like it doesn't like any of my new folders.
I've tried applying the 'share'/'permissions' to all subfolders of my music folder where the music is stored but this didn't work either.
Any other suggestions v welcome as I'm running out of ideas

Shared library aggravation -- flags and drag/drop broken

I've got a MacBook Air. My wife has a MacBook. Both are running OS X 10.7.2 and iPhoto 9.2.1 (most recent update of iPhoto '11). And shared photo libraries are driving us nuts.
My wife wanted to grab a few photos from my iPhoto library. I figured this would be simple... enable sharing in the preferences, click the shared library in the source list, and "it just works." Nope. To be clear, I'm talking about libraries shared over a network, using the setting in iPhoto's preferences. There are several oddities with the way shared libraries work that are just awful. I really hope I'm just doing something wrong.
1. Flagging. iPhoto will let you flag photos in a shared library... but they don't appear in your flagged photos in the source list. You can't create a smart album from them. You can't create a album from them. You can't create an event from them. You can't search for them. In fact, near as I figure, you can't really do anything at all with those flagged photos in the shared library, other than toggle the flag overlay.
So, iPhoto lets you flag photos in the normal way in a shared library, but doesn't collect those flagged photos in the normal way. This is probably the worst possible scenario. My wife happily flagged photos in a large albumn of mine for an hour. Then, she couldn't understand why those photos weren't collected in the Flagged section of her library's source list. She would have to go back through all 1,700 photos to find the ones she wanted again. She. Was. ******.
2. Ratings. Same as above. iPhoto will let you rate photos in a shared library, but that rating seems to affect only the rating overlay image. Disconnect from the shared library, and your ratings disappear (so do your flags).
3. Drag/drop is broken. You can drag/drop images from the shared library to the local library. But you cannot drag/drop from the shared library to the desktop (or elsewhere in Finder). This differs from the standard iPhoto behavior, where drag/drop from iPhoto to any folder works.
These things are problems. They're problems because shared libraries look just like the local library. When the user interacts with them, they should act like the local library.
Do shared libraries work similarly for others? Are my wife and I just "lucky" here? Or are these bugs in iPhoto?

Sorry, I was a bit ranty last night.
I'll ask a more specific question: do you see the same behavior when you connect to a shared library? That is, can you toggle the flag overlay and set ratings, both of which appear to do nothing and do not persist after disconnecting?
Our iPhoto libraries are large (>10k photos each) and have been upgraded across multiple versions of iPhoto. I'm wondering if there's something broken on our specific Macs, or if this is really an iPhoto bug.

ITunes crashes when try to add songs to library both drag-drop and Add folder/file option

I got the old iTunes updated, it crashed when open. Then I uninstall and download the newest iTunes. Restart my laptop.
I even start iTunes in safe mode but it keep crashing.
I try Add folder first, then Add file, then drag and drop. None of them work and I only have 700MB total of songs, no vids
There were no pop up for error code or anything, iTune just crash when I try one of those add options.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate

after I got offline yesterday, I tried drag-drop again, it worked.

I have imported a Zip file, mp3 music to desktop. How do I move it into iTunes?? I have tried drag/drop, import to library, both without success. Can anyone help, please.

I have imported a Zip files, mp3 music to my Desktop. How do I move it into iTunes. I have tried d/drop and also Import to Library without success. Can anyone help, please?

Many thanks to Limnos and King Penguin.
I have discovered! I needed software to Unzip and was directed to Stuffit from the App Store. Suddenly it is simple.
Download Zip File to Desktop.
rt> Zip >Open with..... >Stuffit Progress Bar: 'Expanding' follows. Then a blue folder (manilla) returns to Desktop.
Open iTunes >File >Import to Library From drop down select the now expanded contents of Zip file, then >OPEN
iTunes takes over and imports - Job's Done!!

Can open Topics by drag & drop, but not by double-clicking in the DITA map

Hi,
evidently I made an error somewhere in my structure app, the result is that I cannot open DITA topics by double clicking them in the DITA map anymore (Framemaker does simpy nothing). I can, however, open them by dragging the xml files onto the Framemaker window. If I use the standard DITA 1.2 application everything works fine so I guess the problem is in my mapping.
Here is what I tried to achieve:
We need certain variations of the normal 'topic' type topic. The DTD should be identical, however different structures should be auto-inserted when creating a topic and the topic should have certain attribute values predefined.
The idea is that the author can select one of these topic types when creating a topic, but when opening an existing topic simply edit it with the standard topic temple.
Here is what I did:
I duplicated the topic.template.fm, renaming it say "topic_a.template.fm", "topic_b.template.fm" etc. (just an example).
I made adjustments to the EDD of these templates, changing the auto-insertions and the default values of some attributes.
In the structapps.fm file I added XML applications for these new topic types, mapping each application to one of the new templates, but to the original topic DTD and r/w rules. E.g. the application "DITA_1.2_topic_a" is mapped to the "topic_a.template.fm" template, and to the original "topic.dtd" and "topic.rules.txt" files.
In Framemaker I then created corresponding application mappings in the DITA options. E.g. the topic type "A" (which defines the visible text in the "New topic" menu) is maped to the XML application "DITA_1.2_topic_a".
The result:
It works as intended in every way when creating topics. The topics are saved with the standard doctype 'topic'. However for when I try to open topics from the DTD by double-clicking then nothing happens. Opening topics by drag & drop works fine though and they are opened with the normal (general) "topic.template.fm" template as desired.
Any ideas? Was this confusing or am I completely off somewhere?
Robert

Hi Robert...
When you say that you need "variations" from the normal topic type .. are those structural variations or just formatting? FM associates structure apps with XML files based on the doctype (root element). If your files all have the same root element, then they will all open with the same structure application (unless you specify a different one when opening the file or by importing a new EDD). It sounds like you really should be creating a specialization for each alternate topic type. If you don't, you'll end up getting the wrong "model" assigned to the wrong file.
Multiple EDDs (structure apps) can share the same DTD, and one EDD (structure app) can support multiple models. This is how the "ditabase" app works. There are lots of ways to set this up, but I think what you've done is probably not quite right.
The default structure app setup in FM11 and FM12 is very complicated to work with. I recommend creating a single app that supports many models. This isn't always possible, but it sounds like in your case it should be. I've set up one app that supports 13 different specialized topic models and it works fine.
Note that even though you've added structure apps for each model, if you end up opening the files using the default template, you are no longer using those modified models.
Sorry, but this is a bit more than can be dealt with appropriately in a forum post. If you'd like more help with this, feel free to contact me off list.
Cheers,
…scott

How do I back-save a CS4 InDesign library file to CS3?

Any ideas anyone?
I have an InDesign library, originally created in CS3, but since updated in CS4.
I need to distribute this to colleagues using CS3; they can open the library fine, but cannot drag items from the library to the page.
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out on this one (even though I've got no hair to start with!).
Cheers,
Martin

Martin,
A work-around: Open CS4 and the library. Drag objects out. Drag to desktop or Bridge. Open CS3, thus producing xml snippets. Drag snippets from Bridge or Desktop into CS3. Drag objects into a CS3 library.
Cheers,

Reinstalling CS2, and dragging/dropping files does not work

I have Photoshop CS2. Or at least I
had it. I had updated my operating system to Tiger, and it just caused a bunch of files to change, nothing really bad. It gave me an error message upon opening photoshop that "files necessary for running Photoshop were missing from the Application Support folder"
So I read the advice on this FAQ:
Scott Weichert, "Double-click/Drag-&-drop Photoshop files opens application but not file or I get a message saying that some files in Application Support are missing and I have to reinstall. (Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3)" #, 29 Dec 2003 2:45 pm
And did what it said. I trashed the CS2 folder, and now when I try to re-install it my serial number won't work. Is my $400 serial number now permanently registered on a nonexistent platform?
As an active photographer and graphic artist, I need Photoshop constantly. So any advice would be greatly appreciated as soon as possible. Thank you.

The problem you got into is a known problem after updating to Tiger. It is a small 4K file that gets trashed with the update. It is called the Adobe Unit Types. Both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements need this file to function.
One way to get it back is to reinstall Photoshop, the other is to add this file again.
You can get the file from here http://www.dd.se/Tips/bildbehandling/downloads/AdobeUnitTypes.zip
It is only 3,7 KB big.
You put the file you download here:
[hard disk] /Library/ScriptingAdditions. If you don't have a Scripting Additions folder, you create it.
As you trashed Photoshop, you need to completely deinstall it to be able to reinstall it.
