InDesign «Reveal (link) in Finder» focus on wrong Finder window

I use «reveal in Finder» many times a day. If I use it to reveal a link or a InDesign document, since updating to Mavericks it always takes me to the wrong window. It opens the right folder, but focuses on any other open window. Really annoying. This did not happen with earlier versions.
Does anyone know of a fix?
Thanks.

I have the same incorrect focus problem when opening a document in a Space different from the Space it’s assigned.
For me it is mostly when I double-click on a website link in my e-mail application in Space 1 and my browser (Safari) is in Space 2. The web page I wanted to go to is behind a previously opened browser window. It’s more of an annoyance than a problem. Safari offsets new windows so the unfocused window is sticking out on the side from the focused window and I just click on it to have it become the focused window.
I read on another posting that a user was running a beta of 10.5.3. Perhaps the problem will be resolved in that update if enough people report the bug to Apple. I’ve seen on this forum a link to send a message to Apple for recommending changes and new features. Guess I’ll need to go find it.

  • Indesign broken link file open performance

    We use Indesign CS3 on a windows network with a DFS backend handling data replication.
    We recently changed server technology, to take advantage of windows DFS, and that subsequently changed the unc path that is in the links inside of our Indesign documents.
    The old server name in the unc is non existant and physically does not exist.
    When we would open the Indesign file, even a smal file of 40 meg or so, it would take 20 to 30 minutes to open.
    Once we had corrected the links, the file would open fine.
    On a whim, I added the old server name back to our DNS and pointed it to another machine internally.
    Now the Indesign files, with broken links, now opens in seconds.
    It was like Indesign was trying to physically find the old server, couldn't, try again, repeat, repeat, etc...
    Is this how Indesign works when verifying the links upon file open?
    Just want to make sure that this bandaide will continue to work.
    Thanks.

    yes - if you have network links and you have active network connection - InDesign will try to find server - but if you disconnect your network - InDesign will recognise that network is offline and will not try to find server

  • Acrobat 5 - Placing PDF into inDesign and Output to Colour Separations are Wrong

    Acrobat 5 - Placing PDF into inDesign and Output to Colour Separations are Wrong
    I have a 2 Page PDF file from my client which I have to have setup 2UP on 450x320 for Metal Plates for the Press.
    I setup my page size in inDesign and Placed each page from the PDF file into the inDesign Document.
    Because I need 4 Metal plates (CMYK) I had to check the Colour Seperations for the file by outputting it to a Postscript file with CMYK SEPS and then using Adobe Distiller to turn it into a PDF file for me to view the Seperations.
    As I've shown in the screen shot below. The CYAN plate has boxes all around the images in the PDF file which will come out on a Metal Plate.
    Compared to the Colour version of the Client's PDF they supplied me, there is no boxes around the images.
    I know this is a error with dropping a PDF file into inDesign, outputting to a PS file and then Distilling it to the SEPS. I've had the same problem when I've opened a PDF file that has been distilled in Illustrator and the Artwork is sliced into pieces and uneditable.
    Has anyone else found this problem and if so is there a workaround?
    I'm using Adobe inDesign CS and Adobe Acrobat Professional Version 5.

    Im facing a similar kind of problem. I want to store and retrieve Office files, PDF and Jpegs into/from the database to view them on web in disconnected mode. Please reply as I cant find any help/documentation regarding saving BLOB data into files. I was able to store file data into BLOB, using DBMS_LOB package.

  • Can you trace which Indesign files link to a specifik image?

    I have an image database, that multiple Indesign files link to.
    I am not the original author of the Indesign files nor the image database, so I have no overview of how many Indesign files links to each image.
    And now I have an image I would like to make a change in - but I am afraid to do so, when I do not know in which Indesign files the image is used.
    So my question is - is there a way to track links made to a specific image in any Adobe programme?

    May be Flow could do the trick for you....?

  • Finder window freezes, nothing else wrong

    For a few days now, every time I use a Finder window's spotlight search field, it starts collecting files right away but I can't scroll down and I can't close the window.  Oddly enough I can still run any program on my Mac Pro and everything is just as fast.  I can even fiddle with other finder eindows as long as I don't use the search field.  The only thing I remember updating recently was the last security update (and I'm running 10.6.8).  Nothing is disturbed really, I just relaunch the finer but I still use that search constantly and I'm much slower without it.  Plus I really want to know what's wrong anyway.  I don't like to let problems linger.  Thank you in advance.

    Denise,
    One tweek that I found most helpful in conserving system resources, significantly eliminating freezes and reducing hard drive thrashing was (literally eliminating spotlight) by the following steps:
    Go to Sytem Preferences; click on Spotlight & then the privacy tab -- then the + box.
    Drop down boxes will appear for you; then all you need to do is select your hard drive under "devices" (that is, whatever you have named it) and then select "choose".
    Thereby, you will have deselected & disengaged spotlight and eliminated a system-draining resource.
    You can most likely find anything you want on your computer without spotlight. I know that I do, w/no problems.
    Anyway, do whichever you feel most comfortable with.
    Oh, BTW, FreeMemory from the App Store is awesome too. It will let you know before your browser bogs down & you can reclaim several hundred MBs of RAM, STAT!
    Cheers,
    Michael

  • My school has a website.  The professor uploads files in Word.  When I click on the link at home using Pages, the download window opens with nothing in it and Safari opens with a blank in the address book.  What Could be wrong?  Wrong set up?

    Hi Jo,
    If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
    If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
    An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.

  • Can I use Links list to make a selection in a finder window?

    I have a .indd file with about 75 placed graphics. The graphics are in a folder with 150+ images. I want to delete all the unused images from this folder. Is there a way to "select in finder" those images included in the indd file? I'm trying to avoid manually going back and forth from the Links list to the Finder window to make this selection. (Yes, I've admonished the author to please clean up their folders in advance, but that didn't happen and now I have 10 book chapters with this same problem this my motivation to solve via computer automation.)

    You didn't give your ID version. In CS3, I'd package the file with links, empty the image folder and then copy back the linked images from the package to the original folder. Then delete the package.

  • When does a selection in a text field in a Finder window lose focus?

    Hello,
    this problem has emerged on account of an Applescript file that needs to access a text selection (portion of a filename highlighted) in an open Finder window.
    The bare minimum code to demonstrate the problem is this:
    *tell application "System Events"*
    * *tell process "Finder"*
    * *set selText to value of attribute "AXSelectedText" of text field 1*
    * *end tell*
    *end tell*
    other variants also exist, using "keystroke" but that does not work either. I am not asking help with Applescript here, it is here only to give a sense of the problem.
    My conclusion thus far is that the selection lose focus before the script process can access it. In the best case I get the full filename by using "attribute" and copy of the alias onto the clipboard by using "keystroke".
    So my problem is this:
    It seems that the focus stays alive when one clicks on a menubar item, any click on any other item on the desktop, including windows of irrelevant applications, changes the focus from the selection within the text field corresponding to a filename, to the filename itself.
    And my question is this:
    Is there a changeable setting within the OS that has to do with how long the focus stays alive on a selection within a text field corresponding to a filename? If yes, how do I change it?
    Thanks

    Thanks for clarifying. Never heard it called a text field, just a label. So, exactly what are you trying to accomplish? Is it that you want AS to select the file, highlight its label so you can edit/change it with some other text? If so, have you checked out the Finder scripts installed on the machine, especially the Finder script *Add to Finder Names*?
    UI Element Inspector calls the activated/editable filename a text field.
    Actually I want to modify one of the stock Finder scripts. I want to be able to select part of the file name in the active text field of the Finder window, then activate the script, *have the script pick up the selection* as a text string then use it internally.
    The bolded step is the one in question.
    Every attempt fails on the fact that the focus is lost from the "text field" and it reverts to the label for the filename, if I may use this distinction, (or to "FinderItem" in the parlance of UIEI) as soon as another process begins, it seems. So when the script becomes active, but before any of the commands is executed, the selection disappears.
    My guess is that it is not some absolute necessity but a setting that perhaps can be changed somehow.

  • Why does Indesign suddenly can't find my installed typefaces?

    Hello,
    I updated my creative cloud yesterday and when I launched Indesign it couldn't find my installed fonts (I am using Font Explorer).
    Also it said it couldn't find matching fonts on "Typekit". How can I go back to using my installed fonts form Front Explorer? I don't want to buy an other type organizing programm... :-(

    I wrote to Linotype, this is the answer I got, it works!
    please try the following:
    delete your application font caches as well as your system font caches (FontExplorer X Pro menu/Tools), then deactivate the system font protection, then activate it once again, then use the options to optimize the database and to update the spotlight database. Please restart your Mac and check whether or not this has solved the problem.
    I was able to use my 'Activated permanently' set again, everything works, now.

  • INDESIGN AND LINKED FILES FOR VERSIONNING

    Hi Everyone,
    Despite the fact Indesign is an amazing tool, i'm very frustrated about the way images links are managed, and especially when you copy a folder that contains indesign files linked to images.
    When you want to make a new version of your files, by copying the original folder with all files, the copy of the original indesign file is still recognizing the linked images in the original folder and not the images in the new folder.
    To force Indesign to check the path of the images in the new folder and to update links with the new images, the only way i found is to change the name of the original folder.
    I get the same problem with an indesign book linked with many different individual indesign files.
    i know there is a solution to package all images in the same folder, but this way will lot keep the structure of my folders and my files.
    As relinking manually each file could be a nightmare, i wonder if someone know a solution to avoid this ?
    Thanks a lot

    This seems to me to be in direct  opposition to what you just said. Either you want one central repository for your linked files where you keep single copies organized in some way that makes sense to your workflow, or you want individual copies of each linked file that is used only for that particular version. If you want only one linked file that is reused, you want any copied .indd file to continue to use the old path. If you want to modify linked files and have the modified files available only to the current version, packaging is a viable option.
    It sounds to me like you would like ID to use relative links rather than absolute. That's not the way it works now, but you can make a feature request at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
