JS/CS3: baseline framegrid options

I'm trying to set a document's baseline framegrid options but can't get this to work:
>app.activeDocument.baselineFrameGridOptions.baselineFrameGridIncrement = '13.2 pt';
When I look in the preferences under Grids, it shows the value that it had before I ran the above one-liner (12), so it looks as if nothing has happened. But when I then run this line:
>app.activeDocument.baselineFrameGridOptions.baselineFrameGridIncrement
ESTK says 13.2. So ESTK says 13.2, the interface, 12. I don't understand this. Am I looking in the wrong place?

It works for me. Do you have a text frame selected when you check in the UI? Perhaps you're checking its baselineFrameGridIncrement rather than the document's default (which is what you're setting).

[AS CS3] Export JPEG options, setting, export selection

Hi all,
I am having trouble getting a JPEG export of a selected group of items to adhere to the export options I'm setting. I swear I've done the same thing with PDF export prefs and it works OK.
I need to export a group that is selected, not the whole page, using the options I specify. Every time it's 72 dpi, and probably medium quality.
thanks a million
PS if the only way is to use javascript I will consider that, but Applescript is best for me.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell JPEG export preferences
set resolution to 600
set JPEG Quality to maximum
set JPEG Rendering style to baseline encoding
end tell
set myJPEGPrefs to JPEG export preferences
export selection format JPG to "PREPCTRL-10:Users:chris.paveglio:Desktop:test.jpg"
end tell

>You can only export whole pages; exporting selections has been broken since
CS2.
I just ran into this, and I'm a bit confused.
In my testing, it appears that a page item cannot be exported to most of the export formats in that trying to do so will result in the entire page (or possibly it's the spread) being exported. However, I
am able to export a JPEG of a single page item, though setting the JPEG Export Preferences of the application seems to have no effect on the rendered JPEG which is always at 72 ppi and of a quality less than maximum as reported by the OP.
Are these two separate bugs? Is there no way to get the JPEG preferences to "stick"?

CS3 Extended Plugin Options?

I'm trying to write a 3D file format plugin for PS CS3 Extended, and I would
like to give the user a way to change the import options.
Question is, where are they?
I don't see any Options... button in the Open File dialog, so
how do you access the import options for a 3D plugin?
Can someone tell me what actions invoke these cases:
- formatSelectorOptionsPrepare
- formatSelectorOptionsStart
- formatSelectorOptionsContinue
- formatSelectorOptionsFinish

CS3 as only option to open image?

When an image is exported, Lightroom proposes to open it in CS3. Where can I change that option into CS2?
Thanks

Or you can select CS2 as your second external editor in LR preferences, this would give you the option of keeping the edited file in LR without reimporting.
Great minds Victoria !!

CS3/CS4 subscription option query

does anyone know if the new subscription option available for CS4 includes ME or the Russian CS3?
Thanks,

Hi again
Yes, well, ummm, we have ALL grown to love the support area of many companies. The company that catapulted me to unemployment was known at one point for having decent support. But well, let's just say that the company didn't want to spend the money it takes to do that properly.Their view of Support was always equated to $$$. Humans were reduced to simple "Heads" or "Seats". All they cared about was how much more quickly they could get callers off the call. How can we reduce head count. How can we reduce the number of seats that are required.
Heck, even when done properly it's really luck of the draw. One call may result in connecting with someone that totally solves all your issues in short order while the next connects you with someone that just wants a paycheck. They view the job as simply a means to subsist and really don't care much more than what it takes to keep them out of trouble.
I'm not sure what is up with Sales. It certainly sounds as if they are badly misinformed. At least on this issue.
Cheers... Rick

[CS3][JS] Open options

I'm dealing with a situation where Photoshop will not open a file using open() because of the error "Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect". The problem arises because the files have no extension or the wrong extension! I cannot work out how to specifically tell Photoshop to open the file as a certain type. I know what type the files are (mostly TIFFS) before the open command runs.
Tried Action Manager but it did not provide any insight on how to force the open command to, for example, 'open as TIFF'. Any help would be much appreciated.

I was having a similar situation with the app.open command via javascript (.jsx). The script had been working fine but I started getting erratic behavior while doing minor edits. After closing the extendscript editor and restarting photoshop, the script began working as it should again. Using CS4 and PC.

JS CS3 ScriptUI layout options

I've been working through the examples and docs and found there are a few ways you can lay out components in the dialog.
Here is the first example of a simple dialog with 2 drop menus and static text for each. I've aligned them to the right but it just does not look correct.
var myDialog = new Window('dialog', ' Details');
myDialog.fDetails = myDialog.add('panel',undefined,'File details');
myDialog.fDetails.alignChildren = 'right';
    myDialog.fDetails.fPath = myDialog.fDetails.add('group');
    myDialog.fDetails.fTitle = myDialog.fDetails.add('group');
    myDialog.fDetails.fPages = myDialog.fDetails.add('group');
    with (myDialog.fDetails){
    fPath.st = fPath.add('statictext',undefined,'Path:');
    fPath.dd = fPath.add('dropdownlist', undefined, undefined, {items:["C:", "D:","E:", "F:", "G", "H", "I"]})
    fTitle.st = fTitle.add('statictext',undefined,'Current Doc Title:');
    fTitle.dd = fTitle.add('dropdownlist', undefined, undefined, {items:["Product1", "Product2","Product3"]})
myDialog.show();
In the second example I've used the coordinates to lay out the dialog and achieve the look I want but it took some playing around to get there. The static text and drop menus line up nicely.
var myDialog = new Window('dialog', ' Details');
myDialog.fDetails = myDialog.add('panel',[0,100,200,190],'File details');
    myDialog.fDetails.pathName = myDialog.fDetails.add('statictext',[70,15,100,35],'Path:');
    myDialog.fDetails.pathNameDrop = myDialog.fDetails.add('dropdownlist', [105,12,145,32], undefined, {items:["C:", "D:","E:", "F:", "G", "H", "I"]});
    myDialog.fDetails.docName = myDialog.fDetails.add('statictext',[10,45,100,60], 'Current Doc Title:');
    myDialog.fDetails.docNameDrop = myDialog.fDetails.add('dropdownlist',[105,42,180,62], undefined, {items:["Product1", "Product2","Product3"]});
myDialog.show();
To achieve the look of the second option using the first method (not coordinates) is it possible to set the static test in one column and align it to the right and set the dropmenus in a second column and align them to the left? This would be easier but is it possible?
Cheers, John.

Here's my Code created with RapidScriptUI application
var rapidDlg = new Window('dialog',"<Replace Me>",undefined);
buildWindow();
rapidDlg.show();
function buildWindow(){
rapidDlg.orientation = "row";
// Properties for rapidDlg.Group1
rapidDlg.Group1 = rapidDlg.add('group',undefined);
rapidDlg.Group1.alignment = [' ','fill'];
rapidDlg.Group1.alignChildren = ['right','fill'];
rapidDlg.Group1.orientation = "column";
// Properties for rapidDlg.Group1.StaticText2
rapidDlg.Group1.StaticText2 = rapidDlg.Group1.add('statictext',undefined,"short");
// Properties for rapidDlg.Group1.StaticText3
rapidDlg.Group1.StaticText3 = rapidDlg.Group1.add('statictext',undefined,"this is medium");
// Properties for rapidDlg.Group1.StaticText4
rapidDlg.Group1.StaticText4 = rapidDlg.Group1.add('statictext',undefined,"this is a very long string");
// Properties for rapidDlg.Group2
rapidDlg.Group2 = rapidDlg.add('group',undefined);
rapidDlg.Group2.alignment = [' ','fill'];
rapidDlg.Group2.alignChildren = ['fill',' '];
rapidDlg.Group2.orientation = "column";
// Properties for rapidDlg.Group2.DropDownList1
rapidDlg.Group2.DropDownList1 = rapidDlg.Group2.add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined, {items:['this contains very long strings']});
// Properties for rapidDlg.Group2.DropDownList2
rapidDlg.Group2.DropDownList2 = rapidDlg.Group2.add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined, {items:['short']});
// Properties for rapidDlg.Group2.DropDownList3
rapidDlg.Group2.DropDownList3 = rapidDlg.Group2.add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined, {items:['This contains medium']});
or you can try
'rapidDlg.Group2.alignChildren = ['left',' '];
if you want left aligned not justified

Adobe Illustrator CS3 Rounded Corner Option MIA?

Everywhere I look, I read that there should be a "Round Corners" option under both the "Effect>Stylize" and "Filter>Stylize" dropdown menus. In both cases, the only "Stylize" option I'm given is "Glowing Edges".
I'm attempting to do this with a 3-pointed star (otherwise known as a triangle, but I created it using the star tool). I'm definitely selecting it, etc.
Can anyone shed some light? Thanks!!!

Adobe Illustrator SUCKS when it comes to corner rounding...
You need the vector plugin by CValley called Xtream Path...
Here's the link...watch the video called "smart rounding" which is one of the components of this plugin which will do what you're looking for:
http://www.cvalley.com/products/xtreampath/movies.html
I would not be without it...it's saved me hours of work rounding off corners without distorting the adjoining line segments.

Lost Annimation - Save as Flash CS4 to CS3 - any recovery options?

My son and his friend have been working almost 24 hours
straight for a project for school. During the wee dark hours of the
night they added the motion bits to their annimation. The school is
using CS3, the only version we could buy was CS4. So they have
saved their project as CS3.
Now they see a warning, "Motion Objects Will Be Lost." So all
the work they've put in is gone?!
Is there any way to retrieve their work?
They thought they were almost done, and now they are back to
several hours ago, when they started adding motion? There has to be
a workaround.
Tired, frustrated, and defeated

Thanks!
Passing information along to my son, his friend, and their
teacher.
Hope it helps.

CS3 - no update option even after registering

Hi,
I recently installed my CS3 suite and then registered. (I have been buying adobe software for years, so my name and email were already registered). Upon completeing registration, it said an email would be sent with a "free gift" or something (guessing it is a plug-in or something).
Anyway, that email never came and the update tab in not selectable. All programs in the suite are stuck on first release versions. So like in premiere, I can not open any .mxf files until i can update.
Any insight on this or links to other posts (i did search before posting but didn't find anything)
Thanks!

Ryan,
My Free Gift email came several weeks after installing the software. It was the same email as that which came after installing a previous version. If I remember correctly, it offers a typeface (the same one that I downloaded from the first free gift offer) and a voucher for 10% off any Classroom in a Book book from Adobe's store but Amazon offer these books for much less, even after the 10% discount, so it's of no use. Oh, and something else that I can't remember.

[CS3] Clipping Path Options Zero Out?

Hi:
I'm posting this for a couple of users in my studio (haven't actually experienced it myself).
They swear that they occasionally place an EPS and in Object/Clipping Path they select the type: Photoshop Path and choose a path.
Then, for no apparent reason, the type swings from "Photoshop Path" to "None".
I tend to think this is actually occurring when they drag a bunch of images from one document to another (these two operators work on a monthly catalog where a lot of art carries forward). Still, I don't understand why a clipping path option would change.
Anyone else experience this behavior? (Please, no rants on how we should stop using EPS -- we are moving as quickly as possible to psds wtih transparencies, but I've got a ton of images with both "tight to image" clippling paths and "drop shadow" clipping paths so it isn't that easy).
Thanks.
--jon

Bob:
In the studio everyone has Intel MacPros with 4GB of RAM -- up in Creative land, there's still a lot of old 1.8GHz G5s kicking around that just die when the ADs are working with a catalog with dozens of hi-rez images. (The more junior ADs with the crappy G5s get stuck with the print work while the senior guys who spend all their time in broadcast editing suites have Intels they use for email and web surfing -- makes no sense to me). Also, the ADs involve complain bitterly at the time it takes to print a catalog out with hi-rez art.
So, we stage the hi-rez art on a Xinet volume, give them access to the FPO volume (Xinet automatically creates and imbeds a low-rez proxy of anything that's thrown on the hi-rez volume) and that's what they use in their comps. When the comps transition to the studio, we simply re-link the art to their hi-rez versions.
We only do this on the big monthly projects -- everyday ads and direct mail pieces are handled as you describe.

Need Plug-in for PS CS3 Kodak PhotoCD

I have tons of scans saved to Kodak CD's, which at the time I thought was a good archiving system... I upgraded, via download, to Photoshop CS3, so I didn't recieve the DVD... after an exhaustive search and an even more exhausting phone call with Adobe, I am asking if anyone has this... Adobe claims not to have it and the best way for me to find it is to post on the Forum to see if anyone can send it to me.
Looking for:
You can find the PhotoCD plug-in on the Photoshop CS3 DVD (Goodies/Optional Plug-Ins/Kodak PhotoCD. The ReadMe included in the DVD mentions where to copy the PhotoCD plug-ins and the color profiles.
Appreciate the help!

i basically have the same problem. electronically upgraded to CS3 and misplaced the kodak plug in. adobe has no solution - not sure what to do next.

Show/hide elements in DW CS3

I've just posted this question and got a reply from John
Waller, thanks John, but what I mean is that I don't want to use
layers, this has to do with the positioning in a table. I want to
add images to a table which is in a layer so I can put margin-left
and margin-right for the layer to "auto" so the whole table
(including images) will always be centered. If I add layers to the
table and add images to the layers (to get the mouse-over effect)
the layers will not move with the table to the center of the page,
I hope you guys know what I mean.
Anybody knows if it would be possible in DW CS3 to do so, see
the original question underneath to get the picuture:
Thanks again.
Hi
In DW8 I often used the possibility to put several layers on
top of eachother with images in them, this way I could show/hide
layers so the images would be visible when having a mouse-over
action on a thumbnail for example.
Now DW-CS3 gives the option show/hide elements, however, I
can not simply put elements on top of eachother, which is what I
want.
Am I stuck on using DW8 and the show/hide layers option, or
is there a way to put multiple images (elements) on top of
eachother in DW-CS3?
Thanks, have a nice day

You don't need to use a 'layer' for that, and I assume that
you mean a <div>
not a layer, since the latter implies absolute positioning.
> If I add layers to the table
I sure hope you are referring to just div tags and not
layers, because you
would never want to put an absolutely positioned element
directly into a
table cell.
> I hope you guys know what I mean.
Yes, I'm afraid I do. This whole scheme is just wrong.
It would be much better to use the SetText behavior to simply
dynamically
write the desired image link into a named container on the
page, much like
you can see being done here -

Pdf options box missing when saving as pdf

When saving as a pdf in Illustrator CS3, the PDF OPTIONS box is missing, and the program locks up. If I hit ENTER (as if the options box was there), the file saves properly, and the program is unlocked. It appears that the OPTIONS box is hidden, but operational. Suggestions?

I'll assume you're working on a Windows system.
It's there, just off-screen.
Have you ever had a second monitor installed or worked at a different screen resolution?
Unfortunately, the PDF options dialog cannot be repositioned using normal methods (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2465666#2465666). Position information is buried deep in the Windows registry, so resetting prefs (and, possibly, even reinstalling Illustrator) won't help.
Can you temporarily switch to a higher resolution or attach a second monitor? Once you have the dialog visible, you can pull it into your primary monitor area. It should then stay there after you restore your setup.
Creating a new Windows user account and logging in as a new user might also solve the problem.
