Keyboard nonresponsive in mp4 export dialoge box

Hi,
When I go to export an MP4 file, the keyboard doesn't do anything at the MP4 export box (I can't type new numbers in). I can click and select the values and such but pressing buttons on the keyboard doesn't do anything. Esc and enter do nothing as well. Has anyone heard of this before? I need to change the values in the boxes for different export settings.

Hello, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Set location of print and export dialog boxes?

Is there any way to set the location of the print and export dialog boxes in the viewer?
To say, have the dialog box show up in the top left corner instead of in the middle of the document?

There's no easy way to customize that for the viewer.
Some people make the toolbar invisible and write their own controls.
Sincerely,

Indd CS4 save/export Dialog Boxes are so small :(

I have a 24" iMac and now have installed Indesign CS4. The save/place/export dialog boxes are so small. I have dragged them larger and that is great.
But it does not stay that way across the program or even the same document...
I don't know if I did something different on CS3 but once I set it, it seemed to always remember the setting even on new documents.

I can't help but I can confirm I'm getting the same problems in the CS4 apps, not just InDesign (with Leopard 10.5.5). I hope a fix for this comes out eventually. As Mike says, it happens with Save, Save As, Print To Postscript etc so I encounter it at least a hundred times a day. Very frustrating.

Having a little trouble with the "export" dialog box

Hi all,
When I get to the export dialog box, I'm not able to type directly in the "Custom Name" space. I have to click around and fiddle with some of the drop-down menus (and then get back to the "name format" that I like) and only then can I triple-click or backspace on the former name and input a new name in the "Custom Name" blank.
Also, the "Export Versions" tab is highlighted, but hitting the "return" key doesn't make the export happen. I have to mouse up to that button and click it that way.
Is anyone else having any trouble with inputting information on the export page? And ideas?
Thanks as always.

Yes, the name format is Custom Name with Index. But when I click in the field, I can't edit it.
Mark,
For me, this preset is working well. Have you checked, if the preset for "Custom Name with Index" correct? You can verify it, by setting the "File Naming" format to "Edit". The preset should look like this:
I'd try to edit the preset, save it, and edit it back, to create a new preset file.
If that does not help, remove the user Aperture User Preferences, as described in this document: Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
And as I said, hitting "return" doesn't start the export.
That also your "Export" button is not responding to return, even if it is highlighted in blue, is a sign, that your preferences file might have a problem.

CS3 Design Premium Save As/Export Dialog Boxes Hidden

I posted this originally on the InDesign forum
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b652e3
- since then, the problem seems to have expanded to the rest of the programs in the CS3 (or it was already existent and I didn't bother testing against it).
Original Post
'i"Every time I try to save, export, save as, or (recently) even open a new document now, the dialog box opens with the various options for a split second and then disappears. I think it disappears behind InDesign, but cannot be sure as InDesign will not minimize, even when I Force Minimize everything (Windows-H).
'iSearched the forums high and low, and tried all of the suggested solutions. I'm on a single-monitor setup. I have reset preferences, deleted/drug out the Documents and Settings InDesign 5.0 Preferences Folder, re started etc. At my whit's end and don't really know what else to do. Are there any other fixes?"
I know for a fact that Photoshop at least was working fine yesterday (created, saved and saved as multiple layered tiffs). I cannot remember if Version Cue updated just before I left or if I could properly create, save, and save-as then too and it was only after turning it off and returning this morning that it stopped working. Either way, any ideas?
Thanks,
Zach

Okay, awesome! I did that and now the Open dialog box is showing - none of the others are though - does this mean that I'll need to go to each of my dialog boxes missing (save, save as) etc., resize in pshop to use correctly in InDesign? What do I do for the dialog boxes that are in InDesign and aren't showing, but are not in Photoshop (ala "Open New Library" or "Open New Book?")
Thanks a lot for your help.

InDesign CS2 & Leopard: Place & Export dialog box areas cutoff

I am having severe problems with InDesign CS2 and Leopard, and before anyone says "upgrade to CS3", we can't.
Almost every time I go to place a graphic or export a PDF, the system hangs for a few seconds with the wheel spinning, then InDesign just quits.
I also notice that part of the dialog boxes get cut off near the top.
Anyone have similar problems?

Even upgrading won't eliminate all the Leopard incompatibilities. If you
upgraded to Leopard from Tiger the best advice is to go back.
Have a look around this forum and the Creative Suite forum for plenty of
conversation.

When I try to connect my bluetooth keyboard to my ipad, the dialog box pops up and says: "Make sure 'Apple Wireless Keyboard' is turned on and in range." But the keyboard is turned on and is right in front of the ipad. Any thoughts?

When I try to cnnect my bluetooth keyboard to my ipad, the dialogue box pops up and says: "Make sure 'Apple Wireless Keyboard' is turned on and in range." The thing is, the keyboard is on and is sitting in front of the ipad. I have used it before, but not for many months. I changed the batteries today just in case. The green light on the keyboard comes on and continues blinking. What am I missing?

Keyboards Can only be paired with one device at the time so if it's paired with another device IN range it Will not pair with the ipad

Limiting Export Types in Export Dialog Box

We'd like to only allow XLS Format for a specific report when displaying a Crystal Report on a WebPage via Visual Studio;
We run Crystal Reports 2008 and also post on Business Objects so the users can access via Infoview.
the only thing I've found is a hack to change the underlying Java code for Crystal that would affect all the reports... and some other thing for Visual Studio that doesn't work as it is for prior versions of Crystal. Please advise how we go about allowing the end-users to have the option of exporting to only one FileType (XLS) for only one specific report.

In Cr for VS 2010 you can use this to control the export types allowed when viewed:
// set up the format export types:
int myFOpts = (int)(
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RptFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.PdfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RptrFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.XLSXFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.CsvFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.EditableRtfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelRecordFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RtfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.WordFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.XmlFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelRecordFormat);
    //CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.NoFormat); // does nothing except show no export types
//int myFOpts = (int)(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.AllFormats);
crystalReportViewer1.AllowedExportFormats = myFOpts;

Who's in charge of pdf export: Dialog box or Color settings?

Bridge has synchronized the color settings of all of my apps. But, I needed to export a pdf which uses different color settings. When I try to do so, I get this warning:
The preset specifies source profiles that don't match the color settings file. Profiles specified by the color settings file will be used.
So, who's in charge here? Why should a set of defaults override the specifics of this export? How do I get to be in charge?
Thanks,
Gary

If you prepared the file for one print destination and the doc is going to different destination, you want to change the Destination Profile in the Advanced tab to the new CMYK profile and leave your document profile (source profile) alone.
You shouldn't have any problem doing this at least in CS2 or 3. Just keep in mind the PDF will have new CMYK values, which would happen with any CMYK to CMYK conversion.
If you are sending the file to a new destination and you don't want CMYK conversions, you have to assign new profiles to the document and that can't be done via PDF export, which makes sense because assigning a new profile may change the appearance of any document CMYK colors and you might want to make adjustments to those colors before exporting.
Also, keep in mind if you are using the default Color Settings where the CMYK Policy is Preserve Embedded profiles, a CMYK profile is assigned to your document when it is made. In that case changing your color settings via Bridge has no effect on that particular document because it is the assigned profile which color manages not the new working space set in Color Settings. To change a document's assigned profile you have to use Edit>Assign Profiles... not Bridge.

Export presets now direct me to the "Browse For Folder" dialog box

Suddenly Lightroom will not remember the name of the "export to" folder when I use my export presets in certain ways, even though the name of the "export to" folder appears in the "Export" dialog box. The prolem exists in Library and Develop modules. This is what's happening…
IF I CLICK ON "FILE":
1. And choose the "Export" option, LR displays the Export dialog box, from which I can select an user preset and export a JPG file to the proper folder, as intended. (OK)
2. And choose the "Export with Previous" option, LR exports the JPG file immediately to the proper folder. (OK)
3. And I choose the "Export with Preset option, LR displays the menu of Lightroom presets and user presets, but clicking on a user preset displays the "Browse for folder" dialog box from which I must manually browse to the export folder before a file can be exported. (NOT OK)
IF I RIGHT-CLICK ON THE IMAGE:
LR displays a menu containing these options: Export, Export with Previous, the Lightroom presets, and my user presets.
4. If I then choose "Export," LR works properly---same as example 1 above. (OK)
5. If I then choose "Export with Previous," LR exports the JPG file immediately. (OK)
6. If I then choose one of my presets, LR does not work properly: it acts as it does in example 3 above. (NOT OK)
BACKGROUND:
I have been using these presets for almost a year without fail---they're great! Two days ago I moved my Lightroom catalog to a new external drive. I also renamed the "export to" folder (that new name is stored in the "Export" dialog box).
I sure would appreciate hearing from anyone on this because it's driving me crazy. Thanks.

SOLUTION FOUND:
I created yet another folder for storing exported JPGs. Then for each export preset I used the "Browse For Folder" dialog to point that preset to that new folder. All presets now work as before. This fix was tolerable for the seven presets I have, but a large number of presets would have made it a real chore.

New SAVE AS Dialog Box "Feature"

What's up with the new feature that changes the name of the file you're saving... or exporting... to the name of the file you click on in the Save or Export dialog box?
It's a terrible feature that causes more problems.
One mis-click and you're saving over a file that you accidently clicked on while moving to a folder to save that file.
This feature doesn't make sense. How is it useful?
Anyway to turn that feature off?

" That's been available for years. It's in every OS I can remember using for around 10 years (including Windows)."
I'm pretty sure that for Mac people, this renaming behaviour was introduced in 10.3, and I agree - it is idiotic because of its potential to be destructive. You do get presented with a dialogue asking if you really want to overwrite the existing file, but the default in many apps is to "Replace". What's worse is that, at least in "Panther", the trend was that the default was different depending on whether you were using a Carbon or Cocoa app so sometimes, hitting "Return" cancelled, while other times, it overwrote the file. So you had to be sure to read every dialogue carefully because of the absence of consistency, thereby reducing productivity.
Even without overwriting the file, the "feature" is destructive in the sense that the filename that a user may have manually typed will be irrevocably wiped out by a single mouse click, and have to be retyped. The only app I have come across for which an "undo" is available is "SimpleText.app" (compiled from the source in XCode tools).
Thanks to this new "feature", it takes more time and concentration to navigate the "Save" dialogue because there is no easy way to switch focus from the "Name" field to the browser field - it requires either multiple tabs, or various function keys, and using the mouse, one must be careful to aim for a folder, or whitespace if the file only contains a small number of items. You can't even click on the scroll bar or column headers - elements that are a part of the file browser portion - to switch the focus there.
This is clearly an example of a feature being added without thinking things through. The reason the feature works in Windows or Linux, etc. is that they sort their file lists with folders always at the top of the list - if you always aim for the top item in the list, odds are you will hit a folder and won't accidentally rename the item. Since the Mac has always sorted files and folders together alphabetically (making keyboard selection easier), applying the click and rename behaviour is obviously going to cause problems, any time you have a large number of files sorting to the top of the list such that the first folder isn't immediately visible.
All they had to do was introduce the feature where renaming happens with a modifier-click, and I would be thinking "wow, great feature". I think it's sad that we had to sacrifice the elegance of Mac OS in the transition to the stability and power of OS X, when with a little direction and enforcement of GUI guidelines, we could have had it all...
Edit: Feedback here - they didn't listen in the Panther to Tiger transition, but one can always hope for Leopard...

Placeholder for collection name in a file export dialog.

I would like to be able to export pictures in subdirectories with names based on the name of the collection they are in. I cant find any file name place holders relating to collection names. Is this possible?

RobertsEnd wrote:
Looks spot on
You may want to try it first - it's Lr3-only, and publish-only (does not support exporting via regular export dialog box) - if publish-only is OK, consider his Folder Publisher or Collection Publisher instead.
Is publish-only OK? Are you interested in exported folder hierarchy which matches collection hierarchy? or are you interested in filenames with collection name in it, or both?
Anyway, some other options which may suit, depending (written by me, and offered for free):
* TreeSyncPublisher
* Exportant

Export dialog: choice of folder becomes irreversible

In export dialog box the choice for a destination folder becomes fixed and IRREVERSIBLE after ticking the choose box. Now everything goes to my last folder used and the option ''put in subfolder'' that I always used has gone forever. The colour of the dialog box has changed to all white, the pink bar disappeared and I am now stuck with the last used (+ created) subfolder. It is inconvenient since I use subfolders per bird species and this way I am stuck with this obscure subfolder out of which I have to drag them by hand as a workaround. It must be a bug!
Can anyone help?

Good morning John. I am late in replying but we are here every other weekend at each other's computers and my partner Jan Willem is less into computers than I am. No, the whole choose button has disappeared, it must be a bug. So what we do now is export all photos via the silly subfolder ''buzzard'' in the subfolder ''birds of prey'' in the subfolder ''Marakissa'' in the subfolder ''The Gambia.....'' Our whole neat workflow makes this detour.
You can also see this fixed preset when you try to get deeper into the settings, but the path is frozen and you cannot change the path. I hope they will solve it in the next release!
Kind regards

Excel Spread sheet dialog box pop-up

Hi Experts,
Afte executing the Tcode QA32 when I want to export the output in to Excel from the Excel button on the ALV toolbar I am getting a dialog box with heading "Export List object to XXL" with two radio buttons of Table and Pivot Table. But, Imy requirement is when I click on the Execl button I should get the dialog box with "Select Spread Sheet" with radio buttons of Excel ( in MHTMLb format), All avaliable Formats and Always Use Selected Format.
Please need a quick help on this......
Regards
Sharath

Hi Martin,
From there, I can export it fine, but one our consultants requirement is what I have mentioned in the problem and I have analyzed and came to a conclusion that this is due to difference in support pack level.
I found a note Note 1083248 - ABAP ALV Export dialog box for selecting spreadsheet.pdf where it asks that for the option which I wanted the support patch of SAP_BASIS 640 should be 20. The present patch is 18 in the system
Anyhow, I have requested for downtime for installing the patches and need to check after that.
Once I check after installing the patches I will confirm in this message.
Thanks for the reply and please let me know if there is any othe way.

InDesign CS5 crashes when trying to export a PDF and/or a Warning dialog box appears!

Just bought a new macbook pro 15" non retina the other day and the SAME version of InDesign CS5 that was running on my 2010 iMac is now crashing each time I get a Warning dialog box and/or try exporting a PDF?!??!?! How was this NOT an issue before and now is??? Running the same Lion 10.7.4 as well....
Holding the alt key while deleting a page does help it not prompt the warning dialog box, but no help to exporting a pdf...
So guessing this is a Apple issue and we need an update or??
I am only using Fontbook and have NOT even added any new fonts yet, practically bare bones mac still with just CS5...
What is also weird is that the warning dialog boxes are always BLANK and have no text on them, like there is a font issue??
I've cleared the system font cache, reset InDesign prefs, reset PRAM and NVRAM, re-installed InDesign and updated to 7.0.4...
This is madness....please help me in the name of all that is good.
Crash:
http://pastebin.com/DYv0vwNQ

figured it out:
- power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
- choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
- DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!
