[JS][CS3/4] Hiding a library

Hi
I have built some scripts that open libraries, use library items, and close the library.  My question is can the library be hidden? At the moment it is displayed while being used, only at times for only 1 second, but I dont want to see it at all if possible. Is it possible to use the library but hide it?
Thought Id ask...
Cheers
Roy
ps. on a side note, I am having great fun making applescript xcode apps to trigger my Javascripts! a good HUD window works well floating over InDesign.

No, AppleScript Studio isn't dead, but it's deprecated in 10.6 in favor of AppleScriptObjC. (AppleScript Studio was just a name for functionality, not an actual separate product.) If you're working in 10.5 or earlier, ASStudio is what you're using.

  • InDesign CS3 Visual Basic Type Library GUIDs difference in XP and Vista

    I have started migrating to Vista for some of our applications and have run across an issue. After installing InDesign CS on Vista I went to run one of the Applications and it did not work when calling COM object from the Adobe InDesign CS3 Type Library {666F676B-7790-4B6F-B691-EC43C6F94C18}. After investigating it turns out that the type library isnt installed with this GUID in the registry instead it has been installed under GUID {B694A47E-004D-48e0-AE77-B37A9CC18760}. I have tried to uninstall the install InDesign but this still doesnt register the type library under the right value {666F676B-7790-4B6F-B691-EC43C6F94C18}. Has anyone suggestly used C# to access the Visual Basic Type Library on Vista?

    I have resolved this. Basically the installation of InDesign CS3 on Vista doesn't register the COM interfaces in the registry. Once I registered all the interfaces everything is working.

  • CS3 Auto-Hiding & Can't Show

    I've been having a problem with InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver automatically hiding themselves (switching between programs or Finder), and then they won't re-show (via Command-Tab or the Finder dock).
    I always have to Force Quit the problem application to get back to work.
    All updates are installed.
    It would be very odd that all four applications' preferences are bad, so I don't see that as a solution.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Hi Bob,
    I've read some of the InDesign-specific/Leopard threads. I can live with the currently open document not hiding when the rest of InDesign hides. I have not read/seen others.
    I'm talking about the whole program hiding, on its own (no input from me). Then nothing will work, other than Force Quit. Even quitting, or accessing the open files from the dock doesn't work.
    Thanks!

  • [CS3][JS]Find active Library

    Hi,
    I have more libraries in my library panel.I want to know which is the active library?
    What is the code I have to use?
    Please suggest me.
    Regards
    Kumar

    I haven't used Libraries that often (actually, only once) but the JS help suggests each library is contained within a single panel. If so, as with all panels, there is no "active" one -- the user is free to click in any of these.
    Adobe did a valiant effort in implementing app.activeBook -- a similar situation -- but, if you remember from a discussion a while ago, failed. activeBook never returns useful information for just about the same situation.

  • ID CS3 - Objects from Object Library change unexpectedly, not wanted!

    Hi,
    Our production group has experienced this on several occasions. We create catalogs, so need a number of objects in our object library... boxes, charts, price points, icons, logos... trouble is that sometime after I set them up, they change unexpectedly. No one is updating the objects.
    For instance, our standard box below charts is supposed to have a .5 pt. 50% black rule. At times when we drag it into a document, it comes in as 1 pt. 100% black! Not good! I need to have these objects flawless, for consistency, and just so everyone in the dept. doesn't have to remember sizes, screens, etc.
    We work from three templates (inside pages, back cover, front cover)... is there an overriding object style which I may need to turn off? Or what?
    Thanks for your help, and I'll be happy to answer any questions to help get to the bottom of this!
    Mary Sargeant

    Thanks David. I think you've got it!
    Now here's the next question. I've revised all of our templates, our object styles are all set, as well as paragraph and character styles.
    I have instructed the staff to use the new templates-- however we use some of our old pages, so we will be dragging in items (objects, text) from old layouts onto the new templates. Won't these old styles populate the style panels... and is there a way I can get the new styles to override the old? (Aside from re-naming them all).

  • Flash8 or Flash CS3 determine what frames and objects use a given library object

    I am doing cleanup on a FLA file(a large fla file). I am
    looking for an easy way to determine where each library item
    may be used in the given flash document and at what frame and
    layer it may be used at.
    Yes I have updated the use counts by selecting "update use
    counts". Which is really nice. Becuase I can then
    easily delete all the unneeded objects(note: I was also
    guaranteed they(library items) were not called into the FLA file
    dynamically by action script, Which was a relief).
    So what I am looking for is a way to run a report for one
    object or for the entire library to show me where
    a given symbol, button,swf, flv or picture is being used in
    the parent or it's chidren or in another library item.
    Here is an example of the report I am looking for.
    Library Item "logo.jpg":
    ocurrence #1> _root;layer8,frame 25
    ocurrence #2> _root;layer(showlogo),frame 25(imageframe)
    ocurrence #3> _root;layer(showfinishpage),frame
    125(exitpage)
    occurence #4> LIBRARYITEM(logoTween),frame23,layer2
    Does anyone know how this can be done...?
    Additional search item references
    ==============================
    report library items
    Flash 8 library report
    Flash MX library report
    Flash CS3 librarry report
    Flash Library objects usage counts
    Keep use counts updated
    update use counts now
    determine where library items are used in a give fla file
    flash library "update use counts" objects frames report
    flash "library use" objects frames report
    flash 8 fla library usage where are they being used

    Will Edit > Find and Replace help?
    I don't know of any report, other than Generate size report
    (found in publish settings under Flash), but you could probably
    write a .jsfl script to do it for you I imagine.

  • Encore CS3 missing Library Files

    I have installed Encore CS3 and also purchased the Adobe Master CS3 DVD 30 day try out. On three different PCs. Running Windows Pro, tried different user types, MSconfig to turn off program when installing, you name it.... When I run Encore and look for any Library file nothing is there.. just a General Tab and no files. I called Adobe after 45 minutes, 5 different contact people I was told to do a reinstall (duh!).. I did that same problem.
    Can anyone tell me how to get Encore CS3 to install the Library content files or where to locate these to install.
    Thanks
    DP

    Neither does the full version. I purchased the full version this week and NO LIBRARIES
    I upgraded (at least I thought I was upgrading) Premiere and Encore this week. I am close to asking for a refund since I have had nothing but issues with both.
    My problem right now is the libraries for Encore CS3. You know the templates for menus and buttons etc. Some people call that content but the useless people in India call the manuals content so I am trying to be clearer.
    I bought the downloaded version so please do not tell me they are on disk #3. I download 5 files and installed them. Some of them I re-downloaded and I installed twice. They are.
    - ADBEPPROCS3_ALP.exe (Premiere Pro CS3)
    - ADBEAENCC3_ALP.exe (Encore CS3)
    - PPROCS3_Cont_ALP.EXE (Premiere Pro Content/manuals)
    - AENCCS3_Cont_ALP.exe (Content/manual installer for Encore CS3 manual)
    - AENCCS3_Cont_ALP.7z (3 gig file of foreign language manuals)
    I am running on an HP M8040N with Vista Ultimate (32) I of course search the Adobe site and Google and I have seen other people with the same problem. After spending 1 hour with "Tech Support" in India I was told I needed to call Adobe Tech Support Monday thru...you get the idea.
    WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR...the pre made Templates, Menus, Buttons, etc. that came with the disk version of Encore.
    Can anyone help or am I effed for the week-end and most likely beyond?

  • Updating Library CS3

  • How can I get settings files out of the Library folder?

    I had to do a clean reinstall (erase & reinstall) to clear up some problems on my Mac. Unfortunately, when you do this, your settings, customizations, bookmarks etc. aren't transferred over as they do when you upgrade in the normal way.
    For example, dashboard widgets are in each user's <home folder>/Library/Widgets folder.
    I could restore some of these settings by dragging the settings files from the old System Folder to the new one. Unfortunately, Apple is making this harder by hiding the Library folder in the user folder, both on the Mac and on the backup drive.
    There is a command to enter in Terminal to show your Library folder, but this only seemed to work on the Mac and not on my backup drive.
    How can I get key settings files out of the Library folder on my backup drive when the Library folder is hidden?
    Thanks

    Open the enclosing folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, and provide Library as the path.

  • Why is the library in a browser empty?

    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/getting-started-with-the-brows er-library-api.html 
    I have downloaded the sample files, but the sample library is empty. 
    When changing the id to our app's id, the library is still empty.  Is this service still not live?

    "The rationale behind hiding the Library folder is that most users never need to look in it anyways."
    Unless of course your want to simply add or remove a font withoout using Font Book.  I am not sure if I agree with this rationale.  Not all users need NetNanny. 
    Thank you azdawg99 and alex349 for answering this one.

    Their is no functionality to "auto-link" - you will have to
    re-import the AI into flash if you want to see the reflected
    changes. One thing you could do is save all X layers out in SVG's -
    then edit the SVG's individually - then you could right click on
    the SVG in the Library/Update.

  • Illustrator color library display in CS5

    I am having the same issue that was in CS3 with the color library window not staying open after quit and restart Ai. This was discussed in a forum for CS3 (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1255815). I have tried that fix and I have persistent checked and my Pantone library still doesn't come up when I launch AI, I have to open the pantone library everyday. Does anyone have the same problem and/or know how to fix this?

    you could add an Illustrator shortcut to the Send to...Folder
    - hit Win+R to bring the Run dialog
    - type sendto, to open the Send to Folder
    - right click an empty area, and select "New" -> "Shortcut"
    - browse to illustrator.exe, to add the shortcut
    or if you're comfortable editing the registry, you can add Illustrator to the OpenWithList menu
    - bring up the Run dialog
    - type regedit
    - browse to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf\OpenWithList
    - right click on it and select "New"->"Key"
    - rename to "Illustrator.exe"

  • Restore library from network user's home on Time Machine backup

    Anyone know how to restore ONLY an individual user home Library or items inside a specific user's Library from a Time Machine backup?
    Our 10.10.1 Server 4.0.3 server has its data including Network Userhomes backed up to Time Machine. Due to the keychain and preference issues that still plague us, we periodically need to restore a single user's Library or parts of the Library such as Preference folder. With Apple hiding the Library in general, you cannot see the Library for the users in the back up. As a result we are forced to restore the entire User home for the user in question to fix a single or several files that have become corrupted. With email etc. some user homes are pretty large and that process, as a result, can take quite some time when compared to replacing a single corrupt file with the one that worked yesterday.
    Thanks

    Thanks Linc. I was trying to navigate to it in Time Machine which has it hidden as usual.
    Using Finder > Go > Go to folder > /Volumes/Drive/Userhomeslocation/User/Library I was able to get the folder and then went to Time Machine as Linc suggested.
    Linc do you know of a way to show all Network User Libraries on the server without showing all invisible files?
