Inserting graphics from Project Folders

My project folders represent the menu options associated with the application for which we are generating the Help file. Graphics for each topic are stored in, and subsequently inserted from, the folder for that menu option.
The exception: The bottom controls (buttons) on all screens in the application are, many times, interchangeable and I have created graphics for each of them. Do I have to replicate these graphics in each menu option folder, or can I create one "Buttons" folder and pull from there for the entire project?

Images used for the topics in one folder are best stored that folder. Images that are shared in the way you describe can be stored in Buttons or whatever.
The key thing is a logical structure and what you suggest meets that criterion.

  • Applescript to insert graphic from file into Pages document

    I am trying to insert a picture from a file into Pages using Applescript, i.e. I am trying to do via script the same thing as the Menu command " Insert" followed by "Choose...".
    I have tried the following Applescript and variants of it but it does not work:
    set theFile to "xxx_HD:Users:xxx:Desktop:PagesScripts:picture.pct"
    tell application "Pages"
    tell document 1
    tell body text
    set thePar to make new paragraph at end
    set contents of thePar to make attachment theFile
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    I am not even sure that " make attachment" is the right command to use to insert a graphic from a file. I have not found any information anywhere on this. Can someone help please?

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    What do you like in the "new look"?

  • Problem inserting graphics from line and draw to illustrator

    Hello everyone,
    I had just installed Draw and Line (mobile apps) to my iPad and they both work fine, except when I am trying to insert projects toillustrator... Mind you that there is no problem with photoshop or saving in creativecloud.
    I am getting an error that reads "The file "Project - Drawing.line" is an unknown file format and cannot be opened." I get the same messagewith drawwith the only difference that the.linebecomes.draw.
    I have found this thread:
    Illustrator CC 2014 can't open files sent from Draw.
    But does not help me at all as I suspect they are referring to iOS as my version is also 18.0 and I just updated everything and there is nothing new for illustrator. The only matter I could address would be to remove my old version of CS but I would prefer not to yet, as I see that sometimes there are bugs to newer versions and I do not want to be left without a working solution.
    I am running windows 7 64bit and any help would be really appreciated.
    Kindest regards,
    Michael

    Dear Larry,
    Thank you very much! That fixed both my problems. I would have never though about it.
    Note for others, by logging out and in again I got like 9 updates that previous were not there, although I have updated everything like 3 hours ago.
    Thanks once more Larry have a perfect evening!
    Kindest regards,
    Michael

  • Folders under projects & folders inside folders

    I'm just curious to know what people think of using folders/ they appear to be flexible.
    Does a folder under a project function exactly the same way as an album under a project?  
    Also, can you put a folder of projects inside of another folder without any problems?

    Thank all of for the earnest advice!  I may be a bit further along with this than I seemed.
    I just took my entire library and reordered it, with everything moved to projects, deleting all albums, (I did not realize before that they are kind of secondary to where I'm at right now, organization-wise)
    The projects also now reside in folders, which are just there to refer to what's inside of them.  I suppose I may reorder this by the year one day, but for now am happy with big broad categories and then inserting albums to projects during future use.
    Anyway, there are some questions I had along the way.  I'm only going to post the ones that seem like they might be easy to resolve... hardest question first:
    What is the best approach for putting the same image from one project, into several (or into albums, too), without completely confusing myself down the line?
    (I'm talking editable master or just a virtual "copy") I'm concerned that I won't be able to easily ID what's a master and what's a copy at first glance, and will have to start digging.
    Is it possible for Aperture to lose track of a master file location if I go in and start changing file names within the Aperture app?
    What the heck does this message mean? (and should I accept it?):
    "Reprocessing photos allows you to take advantage of Aperture's new adjustments and imaging technology. You cannot undo his action."
    Does anyone recommend "Vault" as opposed to, or in combination with, an old fashioned hard drive backup? (I use the latter)

  • Retrieve all values from project type when project type combo box is null

    Hi,
    We are facing a tight situation here. We have a scenario where we have 2 filter options.
    1) Department ID
    2) Project type
    When department ID is selected all the department IDs should be populated in the combo box and the project type combo box should be empty.
    Similarly, when project type is selected all the project types should be populated in the combo box and the department ID combo box should be empty.
    Then, when more than one value is selected from department ID box and all the values from project type must be retrieved from query level (as per business logic).
    How do we do this? Kindly help us with this situation.

    Basically my situation slightly different.
    I am trying to do a bulk insert on SQL Server table using prepared statement, during that time i am getting the exception. I am using JDBC-ODBC driver. However, if i do individual record insertion, it is working.
    Any idea about this type of problem ?

  • I created some iBooks in iBooks Author, but when uploaded to iPad, cover graphics do not change when opening different books; they remain on same graphic from book to book even though content changes accordingly. Solutions?

    I recently created a number of books using iBooks Author. They are all part of a larger project, but due to size issues, individual sections were broken up into separate e-books. Each one of these e-books has different content and different cover graphics to differentiate between sections. Once finished, I exported each of them as iBooks and then uploaded them to my iPad. On the Books screen, all the iBooks show up just fine with the appropriate cover graphic and titles. When I select one to enter, its cover graphic zooms in and then the book opens into the table of contents. However, the second book I open always reverts to the cover graphic from the first book I entered. It will access the right content, but the cover graphic pulls up as the wrong section, which may lead to some confusion (given the manner these books will be distributed). After leaving it alone for a little while, I can usually access another book and have it pull up the correct cover graphic, but when I enter the second book, the same problem resurfaces.
    Any thoughts on how to fix or troubleshoot this?

    Update: Solved.
    Either creating a new file or saving the old as a template file & renaming it solved my problem.
    Here is the discussion where I found that information:

  • *Urgent*How to insert data from MS SQL to the table that create at the adobe form?

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe life cycle designer 8 to do my interactive form. I would like to ask how to insert data from MS SQL to the table that i have created in my adobe interactive form?
    I really need the information ASAP as i need to hand in my project by next week... i really appreciate any one who reply this post.
    Thanks

    Tou need to do a couple of things
    1. On the Essbase server, set up an odbc system connection to your MySQL database
    2. In the load rule , go to the file menu and select open SQL data source and in the data source put in your SQL statement . A couple of hints. Where it says Select, don't put in the word select and where it say from don't put in from. The system adds them for you. The easiest way ti enter a SQL statement is to do it all in the select area So if your SQL would normanlly say select * from mytable just enter the code as * from mytable in the select area
    The click ol/retrieve and enter in your connection info. Itshould bring data back into the load rule. Save the load rule and use it

  • Cannot Import Graphics Into Project

    I am experiencing some very odd behavior in RoboHelp 9 project. When I attempt to import/insert a graphic into a topic, I receive the message:
    Unable to rename file, "image.gif".
    The file contains illegal characters.
    First of all, I am NOT trying to rename the graphic. Secondly, the file name image.gif does not contain illegal characters. This happens for any graphic I attempt to import/insert into the project. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Hi there
    If you click File > Rename Project (don't worry, we aren't really going to rename the project) what do you see at the bottom of the dialog where it shows the path?
    Just click Cancel to dismiss the dialog.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Keeping Synced Backup of Library - In Project Folders

    Can't find a way to do this online - probably because I can't think of the right way to get any sensible results from a search.
    Basically, I have my Aperture library which is ~100GB (which is already backed up in a couple of places). I also want JPEG versions of everything in my library so I can keep a copy online (ideally via iDisk, part of MobileMe - but I can do that as a separate step if necessary), and want photos kept in their project folders.
    Any ideas how I can do that? Looks like i'll need a plugin or automator to do it, but there may be a function I've missed somewhere. Seems like it should be simple enough, but I'm struggling (bearing in mind I don't want a complete re-export each time, just export whatever was updated since the last export)...
    David

    Hi christian,
    For future reference, backup the entire iPhoto Library folder. You need all the data files in there for it to work correctly.
    For your situation now, there is no way to relink originals with the modified versions.
    You can manually go through the modified folder and see if you want the modified version of a photo instead of the original. If you do, drag the modified version into the same roll in the Originals folder and it will replace the original as they have the same name.
    Then create a new library and import just the Originals folder.

  • Error Inserting Data from Procedure ODI 11g (No data)

    Hi everyone!
    I have a problem inserting data from a procedure, the procedure works "fine" (no errors), on the log counter shows the number of rows inserted, but, on the database rows does not exists, an easy sample is:
    TARGET: ORACLE

    values
    (:description)
    SOURCE: ORACLE
    select description from table_s
    I check (ODI), the conection (works fine), modules (works fine), "select from table" (works fine).
    I check (Database), inserting rows direct (works fine).
    What can i check?
    Thanks for your response.

    First
    In target:oracle

  • Copy and Paste InDesigne gives inserted graphic, not object!? Bug or "feature"?

    When I copy and paste any object in Indesign (Vectorgraphics, Rectangle, Textarea, everything) it isn't pasted as another object, it's paster as an inserted Graphic. I use Creative Cloud, updating automatically. Is this a new "feature" or a bug? Copying and pasting an Object -> i want an object again (editable and with the same color etc) and not an inserted graphic. Can I change any settings for that or something? never had this problem before!
    I would really appreciate your help as it's really uncomfortable in the workflow even though i could understand it would increase performance and reduce data volume.

    I have problem like this with indesign cs6 and windows 7, when i copy and paste frames it paste as there is graphic inside with a content grabner, my work around is from windows start>all program >go to indesign and run as administrator. Hope this may help.

  • Organizing for stock library. Projects, folders or albums?

    This may have been talked about to death, but I cannot find a thread that fits my question.
    I have a growing library of images in Aperture. I am also a stock photographer by living. My library in Aperture is somewhat haphazard and I'm trying to organize it so that I can have it make sense. I do not sell my photos as stock myself (I submit to several agencies) so I'm not sure that I need to file my images so that I can get to them if a client needs a shot. That's what the agencies are for.
    My work flow is something like this:
    1 - shoot pix
    2 - import and edit (read: delete) images in Aperture
    3 - prepare and submit images to agencies
    4 - next....
    I do find myself taking pix of many of the same subjects, so I do want to organize them in Aperture.
    My main question is, what is the best, or most efficient, way to organize major subjects in the library, with Projects, Folders, or Albums?
    For instance, I shoot a production with models. That could be a project titled " August 14 production." When the submission is done, i could archive the entire project to save space. But, suppose I want to keep some around to submit to a different agency. Is a project the best way to store this?
    Also, I find myself shooting a lot of NYC landmarks. Should each landmark be in its own project, or have it be an album in a project called NYC, or should it be a project in a folder called NYC?
    I'm really not sure what the most efficient filing method is for my business.
    Any discussion and/or advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
    Antonio

    gustavus:
    n attempting to relocate a folder it did not end up where intended and I cannot find it.
    I hope you are referring to doing the relocation from within iPhoto and not in the Finder and the library package. Any moving, renaming of files and/or folder inside the iPhoto Library Package while in the Finder is tantamount to the cardinal sin of iPhoto, Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. That will mess up your library to where you may have to start over with a new library.
    Can you describe where these folders and albums were located when you were moving them?
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
