Installing 3rd party actions where (CS4)

Mac, osx 10.5.6; CS4
WHERE do I put (install, add) third party atn and asl files?
I see some in root>application?CS4>presets>actions
also
User>lib>applicationsupport>adobe>CS4>presets
Thanks a bunch.

CS4 seems to prefer to install User-created Actions, Styles etc., in:
User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/.
I don't know if the reason for doing this is so that we don't lose our personal Actions etc. if the Application itself is un-installed but it might be.
If you are the only User of Photoshop on your machine you might choose to put your own saved Actions and Styles in the equivalent folder in your Application/Photoshop folder as we did in earlier versions but it does seem that Photoshop can find them in either location but looks first in the User location by default; but subsequently goes to the last location to which you navigated.
I think that having Adobe-installed Presets in one place; and User-saved Presets elsewhere is confusing.

Will you still be able to install 3rd party actions/presets into PS CC?

Will you still be able to install 3rd party actions/presets into PS CC? Will the installation be the same method, or will there be something different we will have to do?

CC is a marketing/ licensing model, not a technical change. Yes, actions, presets and al lthe otehr stuff will be installable just like in the past locally, but these options will be expanded by the new online sharing and configuration sync features.

Where to install 3rd party packages

Good evening...
i just downloaded the regex package from jakarta (jakarta-regexp-1.2) and un-zipped to some directory on my harddrive.
but is that really what i wanted to do? where do you usually install 3rd party classes and their documentation?
i realize for distribution my application jar will have to include the jakarta-regexp-1.2.jar; this question is more about what's the best way to set-up the development environment. just wondering if there's some standard that i should adhere to make my life easier when using other people's libraries.

There are 2 jre's, C:\jdk1.2.2\jre is the one you want to develop with. The othere one is for windows and ie when they need to run a java program (don't worry about this one).
To setup the development environment, make sure that javac and java are in your PATH variable. I suggest making an environment variable JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.2.2 and setting your path to PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH% . If you need an applet to use the 3rd party package, it's better to use the plug-in and point it to use the C:\jdk1.2.2\jre.
Good luck,

Installing Third Party Actions in PSE 7

I have figured out a way to add third party actions to PSE 7. It is similar to PSE 6, byt now all the files are in one directory, and they have changed the format of the XML files. Any suggestions or comments on how to improve the process would be greatly appreciated! To add third party Actions to Adobe's Photoshop Elements 7, you need four files: The Action file, which ends with a .atn A PNG icon for the action A JPG icon for the action A xml file for the action Assuming your action name is "Sample Action.atn", you will need: Sample Action.atn Sample Action.png Sample Action.jpg Sample Action.metadata.xml The xml file has the following format: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <PSEContent xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/PSEContent/2.0/"> <subscription value="free" /> <name value="$$$/content/photoeffects/NAME-NO-SPACE=NAME" /> <type value="effect" /> <category value="$$$/content/category/type/CATEGORY-NO-SPACE=CATEGORY" /> </PSEContent> So, if we wanted our sample action to be in a category called "3rd Party Actions", we would have a xml files that looks like the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <PSEContent xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/PSEContent/2.0/"> <subscription value="free" /> <name value="$$$/content/photoeffects/SampleAction=Sample Action" /> <type value="effect" /> <category value="$$$/content/category/type/3rdPartyActions=3rd Party Actions" /> </PSEContent> Copy all four files to the following directory XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Photo Creations\photo effects Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Photo Creations\photo effects MAC: [system drive]:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Photoshop Elements:7.0:Photo Creations:photo effects NOTE: I have not tested the Vista and MAC systems, so the directories MAY be different there You now need to force PSE to rebuild it's database of effects. You do this by deleting or renaming the following files: XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\ThumbDatabase.db3 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Locale\en_US\MediaDatabase.db3 Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\ThumbDatabase.db3 C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Locale\en_US\MediaDatabase.db3 MAC: [system drive]:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Photoshop Elements:7.0:ThumbDatabase.db3 [system drive]:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Photoshop Elements:7.0:Locale:en_US:MediaDatabase.db3 NOTE: I have not tested the Vista and MAC systems, so the directories MAY be different there Start up the PSE 7 Editor. You sill see a progress bar as the effects databases are rebuilt. Once the databases have been rebuilt, you will find your new category in the Effects pallette under Photo Effects, or under the "All" section.

A minor update to the discussion. After more experimenting, I have changed the XML description. Assume we have the following files: sampleaction.atn sampleaction.png sampleaction.jpg sampleaction.metadata.xml The xml file has the following format: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <PSEContent xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/PSEContent/2.0/"> <subscription value="free" /> <name value="$$$/content/photoeffects/FILE-NAME=DISPLAY-NAME" /> <type value="effect" /> <category value="$$$/content/category/type/CATEGORY-NO-SPACE=CATEGORY" /> </PSEContent> Where: FILE-NAME is the name of the .atn file, without the .atn DISPLAY-NAME is the name you want displayed in the PSE 7 Effects Palette CATEGORY-NO-SPACE is the category name for the effect without spaces CATEGORY is the Category name you want the effect listed under So, if we wanted our sample action to be in a category called "3rd Party Actions", we would have a xml files that looks like the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <PSEContent xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/PSEContent/2.0/"> <subscription value="free" /> <name value="$$$/content/photoeffects/sampleaction=Sample Action" /> <type value="effect" /> <category value="$$$/content/category/type/3rdPartyActions=3rd Party Actions" /> </PSEContent>

How to install 3rd party counters?

Is it possible to install 3rd party counters such as NeoWorks counters
in iWeb 06? I saw it mentioned in this forum but I am thinking it only
works in iWeb 08, or am I wrong, and if so, how can the html code be inserted?
I see an "insert" menu option Insert/choose....is this it? and what would I choose?
thank you,
todd

Ok I just downloaded BBedit. Now before I dive into the big manual can
you give me the quick take on where to past widget code? Do I insert and
the front before the original index code or at the end? If at the end, is it
just before the </head.<body><body></html>
or after that
I tried inserting at the very front and it appeared momentarily on the published document but was then quickly covered over by the original page.

Bea Portal: Installing 3rd Party Portlets / cms portlets

Hi there,
I hope this question is not too silly, but I am new to Bea Portal
Server. How do I properly install 3rd party portlets, e.g. the
cmsportlets available for download on the developer page ?
I extracted the zip files and then there is an Ant-Script where one's
supposed to change some parameters according to ones installation. I did
this and then I ran Ant, which actually copied the files to the portlets
directory. This is already strange to me: can the EBCC just create new
portlets or can it do something like "import" resources that someone
else has developed?
Well, so even after running ant, the portlets can be seen in EBCC, but I
an not add them to my page.
Any idea how to move on ?
Thanks
Hinrich

Installing 3rd Party Drivers

Is it possible to install 3rd party drivers during a Safe Boot?
If so, is it better?
I'm having trouble with drivers loading sometimes, and other times not ... seems to be having problems "around" "Login Window".
I use auto Login on Startup and Restarts.
Wondering if this could be a "when and where of installation" issue.
Guessing ... apologies for being vague ... particulars can be found on M-Audio's site Forum (if you're really interested):

Stumped again ... this is a new replacement PCI audio card.

I got a Rev B Replacement card from M-Audio. It behaved the same way as before under 10.5.6, until I ran AppleJack.
I believe that cleared up the problems: M-Audio's v2.0.8 drivers don't install properly under 10.5.6... As I understand things, Ownership and Permissions need to be changed, and caches needed to be rebuilt. AppleJack under auto pilot did this relatively fast ... compared to how long its taken to arrive at a solution ...

Also replaced the PRAM battery.
Up and running fine to date with the Sonnet Tango USB/FW and Rosewill NIC PCI cards alongside.
Perhaps AppleJack could solve other 3rd parties driver's installation woes?

Install 3rd party PDF iFilter for index PDF file as attachment in e-mail (msg)

I have called Microsoft Permium Support, base on the reply, SharePoint 2013 does not support to index a PDF file attachment in E-mail (msg) except 3rd party iFilter installed. And they finally told me how to edit Windows Registry for install the Adobe iFilter.
But, the Adobe iFilter is too weak to call large PDF files. So, I would like to install and try the Foxit PDF iFilter, but I cannot find an installation guide for this 3rd party ifilter with SharePoint 2013.
Does anyone here have the experience for Foxit PDF iFilter with SharePoint 2013 can help me?
I am not sure it is bug or feature in SharePoint 2013, but in case I still have to install 3rd party iFilter for index PDF file. I have no idea what is the out of box pdf file indexing support for.

You ca plan to use Foxit.
steps are nearly the same which we use in sharepoint 2013
1. We need to update registry for pdf . Registry value is {987f8d1a-26e6-4554-b007-6b20e2680632}

Prevent shockwave player from trying to install 3rd party software?

I am a sysadmin for a relatively small-ish enterprise (around 50-ish PCs). We have scripts which push out shockwave player to all our systems but when a user loads a page which requires shockwave, they get a UAC prompt because the player is trying to install 3rd party software (usually Google Chrome browser). How do I stop this from happening? Is there a command line argument I can set (preferable method) or some other centrally-managed method for turning this off? Thanks in advance.
M

I guess I am not explaining myself very well.
I am currently using the EXE full installer from the distribution page. The installation works very well and I can get it to run in "silent" mode to avoid interaction with the user. Once the installation finishes, and I load a web page which requires Shockwave player, I get prompted at that point to download/install Chrome. That is the part I would like to know if it's possible to stop, because all our users are getting UAC prompts and it's always because Shockwave wants to run some installer after loading. I had hoped that going to the distribution version (as opposed to the straight download from the Adobe.com home page) would resolve this but they seem to be the same version, which makes me wonder why I bothered to sign up for it in the first place.

What's the standard way to install 3rd party classes?

Hello,
Let's say I install my SDK in c:\jdk1.3_02.
Could anyone tell me the standard way to install 3rd party classes or sources so that I can import them in my source codes please? Thank you so much!

most of the projects I've seem organize source, binaries etc. in the following directory structure:
lib - external libraries
src - the actual source code
conf - configuration files
dist - created distributables
let's say you have everything in the d:\projects\myproject directory.
-> compile with
javac -classpath d:\projects\myproject\src
-> run classes with
java -classpath d:\projects\myproject\src

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama).

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama). Installation required that I create a super user named Other with root privileges. I did so and successfully installed the 3rd party software. I powered down a few days late and when I restarted, I went automatically to my Administrator account with no login password required. I deleted the Other account, powered down and restarted with the same result - opened in Administrator. I then followed the steps to disable root user, powered down, cold restart - same result, opened in Administrator account.
Any suggestions? Any thoughts? Much appreciate any help you might offer.

How do you install 3rd party plug-in in Photoshop CC

Our fine customer service/tech support wouldn't help me with my question/problem because 3rd party plug-ins are not an Adobe product.... Silly, isn't it since all I want to know is how do you install "any" plug-ins into Adobe Photoshop CC. Can anyone with any sanity here offer a solution?
Thanks.

It could be complex depending on your OS and user ID permissions. Adobe Photoshop CC Mac version only supports new Mac with Intel 64bit processors, Photoshop CC windows supports both 64 bit systems and 32 bit systems. If you have a 64 bit system both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of Photoshop are installed so windows has both a 32 bit Plug-in Folder and a 64 Bit Plug-in Folder. Prior to CC Photoshop Preference let you add you own Plug-in folder tree to Photoshop Plug-in folder tree. I still install Plug-in that way however I have to add the link manually for adobe removed that option from its Preferences UI in Photoshop CC. I always have more the one versions of Photoshop and all installed versions use the same Plug-in, Actions and Scripts that I add to Photoshop. There is One exception. The Way the Image Processor Pro plug-in script is coded expects it and it default XML file to be installed into Adobe's folder so I made and exception for it. You user ID need to have permission to modify and add files to system folders if you want to install plug-ins into the folders that Adobe created for third party plug-ins to be installed into.
Adobe Photoshop CC installer creates a folder in Photoshop version ...\Plug-ins\... so on my Window 7 64 bit system there are two folders
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\" and
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Plug-ins\"
All I add to these are the Adobe ScriptListener.8li Plug-in and a link to my Plug-ins folder.

Why does Adobe install 3rd party software with PE 10 without asking?

I purchased Photoshop Elements and Priemere Elements 10 together. During installation Adobe installed SmartSound Sonicfire Pro 5 on my computer. The installation did not ask if I wanted to install this software and there was no option to not install it. I am the only one who installs applications on my computer so what gives Adobe the right to decide what to install for me. Sonicfire Pro 5 is unwanted by me and it pains me greatly that software was installed on my computer without my consent. Besides it takes up 30GB of disk space. Yes I can uninstall it and I will but it should not have been installed in the first place. I bought Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 because I was happy with my purchase of Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4 and wanted to have newer versions but now I am very unhappy. I will never buy a Adobe product or suggest Adobe products to anyone ever again. The only thing that would change my mind would be if Adobes next version did not contain any 3rd party software or if it did one should be given a choice during installation as to install it or not and Adobe should give me a free version to replace the one I have. As those two things are unlikely to happen I will continue to never buy any Adobe software or suggest to anyone to buy Adobe products and faithfully watch the stock market as Adobe stocks continue to decline. Guess what I do for a living!

I did not answer you question, because I have no answer. That was why I recommended contacting Adobe. Though, at times, it might not seem like it, but they do listen to their customers. They collect tons of data, and try to prioritize things, based on that input. This is for Feature Requests, or just comments on how one likes, or does not like, the software.
In very general terms, I find Adobe products to be very benign, and especially to many other companies' software.
Over the decades, I only recall a few instances, where something was installed, without my input, at some level. Back about PS CS, there were some NIK Filters that were installed, and a few of them were "trials," which I am not keen on. SmartSound would be another example, except that I would want it, regardless (and probably only complain, if it was missing).
One of the biggest rubs that I had with Pinnacle Studio was that even if one bought their biggest, most expensive package, a ton of Effects and Transitions were loaded as trials. To get all of those, one had to spend about US $400, above the price of the NLE. Not sure if that is still the case, as I switched to AVID Liquid, about they time they bought Pinnacle, and have not seen Pinnacle Studio in many years. When I moved from Liquid, to PrPro, and the CS2 Production Studio, I never looked back at AVID/Pinnacle. Now, CS2 Production Studio came with about 8 programs, and then a ton of "Goodies." I would have loved to have the Goodies as options in the full suite installation. As it was, I had to do the main, muli-program install, and then run installation routines for maybe 30 other plug-ins, add-ons and stand-alones.
No, like you, I refuse to update my iTunes, as so much "other stuff" gets installed, and then I have to clean it out. You are not alone, except that we see SmartSound from different sides. Though I understand your not wanting anything, but the program, I view that as a necessity.
My suggestion to Adobe would be to include that as a separate, user-selectable install, though I have never heard of anyone complaining, unless SmartSound did not work for them.
I understand personal principles, and try to adhere to my own, but before you pass on SmartSound, I beg you to try it out. That will not ameliorate the need for Adobe to let the user decide what is/is not installed, but with a few sessions, you might change your mind about the program, itself.
Do let Adobe know how you feel, and perhaps SmartSound will become an additional installation, like the additional Functional Content.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to setup Server 2008-2012 R2 to auto-install 3rd party updates

I've been searching for about a month now on an easy way to install third party software updates for individual workstations using the company's server.
We have two, one is a 2008 server and the other is 2012 R2.
Is there any way I can set it up to where the updates will auto install without prompts or effecting productivity?

Hi Rick
there is no way you can set this up using existing built-in tools inside windows server. You would need to setup your existing infrastructure using some 3rd party tools.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
