Is there a way for photoshop to AUTO UPDATE all linked files after modified?

Using the new Photoshop 2014 (version).
This is a very frustrating task for anyone using a lot of linked files.
As a web developer, I may have 50 files that contain one linked element.  If I go edit that element, I then have to find the layer on each and every file it's contained in and click "Update Modified Content".  There HAS to be an easier way.  I really hope I'm missing something here.
Thanks to everyone looking to help.

OK. Now I see what you meant.
And you correctly understand workaround instruction. The problem is it does not work and I don't know why.
I'm not so familiar with Automator and indeed seldom use it except for a simple services wrapper under 10.6. So I don't know of any workflows off the shelf which use "Ask for Confirmation" action. But it is easy to create a workflow that, for instance, consists of "Ask for Confirmation" action only and is set to receive no input or input from Finder or input from other application and test to see if it gets keyboard focus. As far as I can tell, this action obtains keyboard focus automatically.
Here's another workaround you may try. Replace the "Ask for Confirmation" action with a "Run AppleScript" action with the following contents. This will show similar dialogue to let you choose two options.
on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
        activate
        display dialog "Are you sure?" with title "Permanently delete"
    end tell
    return input
end run
The workflow will look like this.

  • I accidentally formatted my portable hard drive when setting it up for time machine. Is there any way for me to get back my lost files?

    I have an external hard drive of the brand Western Digital.
    Before I got my iMac I moved a lot of my important files from my PC to the hard drive and today I went on and connected it to my iMac to move my files over to it.
    When it had connected a window popped up that asked if I wanted to use this hard drive with the program Time Machine and create backups. Without thinking it trough enough and reading the warning properly (I'm stupid I know) I clicked "yes". I then realised how stupid it was and cancelled the formatting of the hard drive. But somehow the program still managed to delete all my important files and can't find any way to get them back. Neither can I connect the hard drive to my PC anymore so I can't check if the files are still there (which I doubt they are since I can't see them on my iMac either).
    And now I wonder: is there any way for me to get back my lost files or are they lost forever?
    Thank you in advance!

    A data recovery specialist or some data recovery programs should be able to help.  Most format simply rewrite the directory tree saying no files are on this disk.  The bits that represent the files are still flipped appropreiately so they still exists, you just don't have the location info to get at them.  Secure formats and erases rewrite each bit to a zero or 1 or random so the data is then truely gone.  This type of format takes a long time to complete.
    I'm not making a recomendation of a particular program but here is one company that does what you ask:
    http://www.remosoftware.com/mac-recovery  The cost is pretty high but I'm sure they don't sell many copies and need to cover their development costs.
    Good luck and don't write anything on the freshly formatted disk until you decide what to do.

    Not easily, no. The better solution would be to put a passcode on the phone.

  • Is there a way for Labview to take control of a file that is already in use

    Is there a way in LabView to programatically take control of a file in use by another process?  I wish to write data to files that may be opened by another process, this data is time sensitive and acquired continuously so having my process wait until the file is available is not feasible.
    There should not be any other software accessing these files but sometimes windows is looking at them for some reason and I'm not sure how to make windows let go of them.  This does not accur often but it is annoying.

    Yes, use handle or process explorer from sysinternals. (see also).
    How is your labVIEW program structured? Could it be that your LabVIEW program itself holds on to the file from e.g. a previous file IO operation? Make sure references don't become invalid (e.g. via a "use default if unwired output tunnel) which would prevent the file from getting closed properly for example. Your program should open the file once at the start of the program and keep it open for the duration of the run. This way you should not have any intermittent problems accessing it.

  • Is there a way for not book marking the same link Again and again ?

    When I browse the web i keep book marking stuffs i feel intrested in. But the problem is i may book mark the same page again since i look up to my book marks maybe weeks later. So is there a way to stop this. maybe some think like a pop up menu reminding me i have already book marked this page.
    I would also like to know is there a way to arrange book marks in order. Like the links from same page get organize together. Similar stuffs automatically gets sorted out. any thing like that..?

    You can't avoid that if you drag a link.<br />
    If you drag a link to a folder then Firefox doesn't check if the link already exists as this is a way to have multiple copies of a bookmark in addition on to a copy/paste.<br />
    To avoid having multiple bookmarks of the same link you would have to click the star on the location bar twice to bookmark the link and subsequently open the Edit This Bookmark dialog.

  • How can I auto-update all book file links after making a new copy of my project?

    Using Indesign CC 2014,
    Windows 7x64.
    I've created a catalog, using a book file (.indb) which connects 20 Indesign files (.indd) together (so page numbering is continuous, etc).
    Each of the 20 Indesign files all have numerous art asset links and cross references. In total, ~200 files are involved.
    Once finished with the whole thing, I made a copy of the entire folder structure and placed it elsewhere, because I now need to create a modified version of this catalog project for a different company.
    In the end I need to wind up with 2 different, but very similar catalogs.
    Here's my problem: when I made the copy of the entire project and opened the copied over book file, I've found that it's still referencing the older 20 Indesign files back in the first folder structure.
    It's not using the new stuff.
    Same goes for all the art asset links inside each Indesign file.
    Looks like absolute paths only.
    What's the standard operation procedure here? What can I do to avoid having to manually re-link numerous art assets, etc?
    Surely, this is a common need among Indesign users.

    Hey, Peter!
    I've delayed my response here.
    Been dinking around, trying things.
    That's a smart suggestion, but the Package command will round up all assets into a nice compact folder structure ready for production. It's not really what I need.
    I need to keep things as they are, fully editable and unaltered - my folder structure is carefully crafted as is, and I definitely don't need all the fonts dumped into a folder.
    Here's what I'm doing now - I make a complete new copy of the folder structure in question. It includes all InDesign files and linked artwork, etc. Everything.
    I then CHANGE the name of root folder of the folder structure I initially copied. This breaks all the absolute paths of the copy.
    Then I open each InDesign file and the CORRECT links are still automatically found because it looks inside the new folder structure I just made by creating the copy. So all links get "fixed".
    Thank goodness InDesign is far more intelligent about finding missing links than Illustrator.
    This is the best solution I've found. It's not perfect, but nothing ever is.

  • Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

    Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

    Not with iPhoto, but different apps have different capabilities.
    There are a couple of considerations: How is this transparent image to be used? In a Deskop Publishing environment something like Pages' Instant Alpha might be useful. Or if you're trying to overlay one image on another on a photograph then some editor that supports layers would be required.
    Further, Jpegs as a format doesn't support transparency so you'll need to work ina  file format that does.
    But if you can explain what you're hoping to do we might be able to point you in a more useful direction.
    In order of price here are some suggestions for editors:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same fam

    I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same family.

    Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
    A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
    Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
    Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

    If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
    With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
    But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

  • HT204053 My wife and I just bought iPhone's, we use to share an account under one Apple ID, is there a way for one of us to share music without sharing the same Apple ID?

    We use to have multiple iPods, now we both have iPhones. When she wants to FaceTime with relatives she has to use my Phone because that's where the Apple ID is "tied" to. Now if we want to FaceTime each other it gets weird.
    We share similar taste in music so the music is not the problem.
    I'd just like her to have her own Apple ID for FaceTime, apps, etc.
    is this possible?

    Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
