My CSS file name won't save & won't stay linked to my pages.

Hi there,
I moved my internal style sheet to an external style sheet and it won't save as the file name i give it, it saves as "untitled".
-i am unable to change file name in the code or directly on the file icon....it just reverts back to "untitled".
-i deceided oh well my style sheet will be called "untitled" and proceeded to work.
-i linked a few of my pages to "untitled" and saved them.
-this morninging when i opened my project up none of the styles were saved on any of the pages so i went to relink again then close and open them. the same thing accured, none of the styles were saved.
i am working in CS3
this is what i did to move my internal style sheet to an external style sheet
went to my CSS styles pannel and selected all
-selected all my rules
-command clicked on the rules and chose ""move to external rules"
- in the "move to external rules" dialogue box i chose - move rules to "a new style sheet" and click ok
- in my "save sheet file as" dialogue box i browse to the folder (assets) where i want to save my new style sheet and name it "styles.css"
this is what i did to link my pages to the external style sheet
in the CSS styles pannel i clicke dthe attach style sheet button
in the "attach external style sheet" dialogue box i browse to "untitled" and add as a link
note: the code to link to my external sheet is still in my code <link href="assets/untitled.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
any knowledge anybody can share with me? im new to dreamweaver...i am teaching myself so any help would be great. thanks!

The simplest way to create an external CSS file is to use File menu > New > CSS.
Open your HTML document in code view.
Cut or Ctrl+X the CSS rules - everything between the <style type="text/css"> and </style> tags.
Switch to the new CSS file and paste style rules into the blank page.
Hit Ctrl+S to save filename.css
Link external stylesheet to HTML document.

Programaticly changing the (suggested only) file name in the save prompt when signing a document?

When you sign a document in Adobe X (or XI), the system says it needs to save the file first. Is there some way to change the (suggested only) file name to a different value for that save?
Right now, people open a blank form - lets call it formX.pdf. They fill it in and sign it. The suggested file name for the save is FormX.pdf. I can generate a unique file name which i'd like to put in place of the suggested default...

AFAIK, you can't do it with code. Your best option might be to use a form field to show a message to the user when they sign the document with that information.

Thousands of individual .txt files being created while using "next available file name" option in Save to ASCII step

I'm using Signal Express to record Load vs Displacement data and export it to a format our engineers can work with (in this case ASCII is okay). It would seem that by selecting the Next Available File Name from the drop down arrow it would do just that. For instance a typical save path for me would look like C:\....Desktop\Project Number and Description\Run_1.txt within that Run1.txt file would be all the data points for that run. When I hit record again Signal Express would (SHOULD) create a Run_2 since it's the Next Available File Name.
But instead what it does is creates a single txt file for every single sample point being read. Needless to say, If I'm recording 6 second of data at 1khz I end up with thousands of txt files!
The first thing that comes to mind is, why would anyone want this?
Second is how can I record multiple individal runs for the same project and have the file name increment?

...and more attachments of the ASCII save path, before and after acquiring 4 seconds of data along with one of the files from that folder.
Again, this is 4 seconds of two-channel spring plot data at 100 Samples to Read @ 1k Rate (Start Run.... wait 4 seconds or two full test sample cycles... Stop Run).
~EDIT~
The .txt file would not attach (I think it's too small). Here's what it looks like if you were to open it:
Load vs Displ - Displ (inches) Load vs Displ - Load (lbs)

Also, for some reason it won't let me attach my project file. It's a .seproj extension but the forum thinks it's 1k in size and "empty"

CSS file name not appearing accurately

Dear Dreamweaver Forum,
To sort of give you a context of what I've been doing, I've been following Garrick Chow's Dreamweaver CS3 tutorials through Lynda.com.
Specifically, I'm currently studying chapter 7 Typography.
I tried on my own to save a CSS style sheet.
It seems no matter what I do I am not able to get the CSS panel in Dreamweaver CS3 to save a style with the name I give it in the Save As dialog box.
Below is a 5-step walkthrough of what I'm talking about with two questions in blue after step 5:
Step 1:
Here I have a situation in which I would like to take the style currently in the CSS Styles panel <style> and turn it into an external style sheet I can use with my other .html pages.
Step 2:
Therefore, I used shift + click and selected all the selectors (or should I call them “rules”?) in the CSS panel.
I then right-clicked and selected “Move to External Style Sheet”. I then get this resulting dialog box:
Step 3:
I want to create a new style sheet and so I click the radio button next to “A new style sheet”:
Step 4:
I navigate to my ch7_typography root folder and, in the “Save As” field I type “styles.css”:
Step 5:
The problem is that after hitting the Save button, Dreamweaver saves the css file not as “styles.css” but as “untitled.css”.
My question is why did it do that?
My other question is how can I get Dreamweaver to save the .css file as “styles.css” or “whatevername.css”
I choose to give to it?
Thanks!

This is how I do it.
Hit File > New > CSS.
You now have a blank, untitled CSS page.
In Code View, switch to your HTML page. Scroll down to the CSS rules -- these are between the <style type="text/css> and </style> tags. Highlight and copy your CSS rules (Ctrl+C) without the <style> tags.
Switch to CSS page and hit paste (Ctrl+V).
File > Save As > some-filename.css Done.

Clicking on a file name in the Save As dialog removes the extension (.html or .jpg)

In previous versions of (any) browser I could save a web page, and if there were more than one page, as in a thread in a forum, I used to be able to click on the saved file, "file 01.html" in the Save as dialog, it would show up as "file 01.html" and I could change the 01 to 02 for the second page, ie "file 02.html"
But now when I click on the file name it shows as "file 01", the .html disappears. Same for .jpg or any other extension.
This is very annoying, especially when I find a long, multipage thread on a subject I want to read later offline.
Bug or Feature? Either way I don't like it.
How can I change it back?
Thanks,
David

I have seen that as well. If I change the name of a .jpg picture I am downloading, I have to add back the extension into the file name. If I do not change the name, the extension is kept.

Script to create directory based on current file name and then save the file in that directory

Hi all,
I have a need save all my projects in a directory using the name of the main image I am working on.
Manually these are the steps I used:
Save As.
Copy ( press command-c <== the filename is highlighted by default so all I have to do is )
New Folder ( press the new folder button. Brings up a dialog box)
Paste ( press command-v. <== Pastes the file name into the "New Folder" dialog box.)
Save ( press thre save button. Saves the files into the new folder )
Save As.
Change format to JPG
Save
Change image quality to 12
I want to assign these actions to a key
Recording these steps and playing them back does not give me the results I need, snce the original name is hard-coded in the actionlist that was recorded
What should I be doing instead ?
Thanks in advance !

You don’t mention which format the original file is (and figuring that and its current settings out seems too much of a hassle to me) so this would only save the jpgs into the folder (and create one if it does not exist).
If you want to give it a try, paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (part of Photoshop’s installation, Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/ExtendScript Toolkit CS4 or /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities-CS5/ExtendScript Toolkit CS5) and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
After restarting Photoshop the Script should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action, (in CS4 and CS5) be used in a Configurator-Panel or started from ExtendScript Toolkit directly.
// saves jpg into folder of file’s name next to file;
// be advised: this overwrites existing jpgs of the same name without prompting;

// create folder if it does not exist;
var folderString = docPath+"/"+basename;

// jpg options;
var jpegOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpegOptions.quality = 12;
jpegOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpegOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
//save jpg as a copy:

Why does photoshop automatically rename file names when using save for web?

All of a sudden when choosing Save for Web, when i type in a name for my file in the File Name: dialog box, when you click "save", it saves the selected slices as the name of the document and not what i typed.
For example: My psd file is called "website header" and i want to save the slices with the name "index". If i save slice-02 or slice-06 it will save as "index_02.jpg" but if i choose slice 01, it will save as "website-header_01"

Check your settings in the SfW output options and yopur slice names in PS itself.

File names when using "Save Image As..."

I am using Safari for Windows to read Gmail. When I open an image and want to save it, I right-click on "Save Image As..." Instead of displaying the images file name in "File name:" it always says "mail" requiring me to re-type the file name for every photo I save. It also saves every file as "All Files" instead of as a jpg image which my photo viewer does not recognize as even being there.
Any help would be appreciated.

As an addendum, the 10.6.8 OS has also been sluggish when I log in or out of my computer (my old PowerBook G4 boots faster after being off). Otherwise, everything else seems normal.

If I change a file name, how can I get all the links to update?

I've recently finished my webpage
(kensingtonconcertseries.com),.....then my client wanted to change
the name of one of his pages from 'Marold Duo' to
'Rodewald-Morebello Duo.' All of my links to that page are to the
original page(MaroldDuo.html). Arrrhhhhh!!! Is there anyway I can
change the name of the page and have all the links within the
website update automatically?
I figured out my problem...make a copy and rename it and put
it on the server. Simple....eventually, I'll have to get rid of the
original file, but for now works well.

If you change a file name within Dw's File manager - it will
offer to
update all pages linked to it, accept that invitation

Saving documents via Scripts: Get current file name and set save path/file type

I am writing a script that will:
-Make all layers invisible
-Make a layer named "background" visible
-Delete all the invisible layers
-Save the docment as an EPS file (leaving the original document untouched)
I am new to scripts and so have based my script by copying code from other scripts.
Here is my code:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var name = doc.name;
var hide = function (){ // hide all layers (based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/644267)
     var L=doc.layers.length;
     for (j=0;j<L;j++){ doc.layers[j].visible=false; }
hide();
// loop through all layers
for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++) {
              // Create the illusrtratorSaveOptions object to set the AI options
    var saveOpts = new IllustratorSaveOptions();
    // Setting IllustratorSaveOptions properties.
    saveOpts.embedLinkedFiles = true;
    saveOpts.fontSubsetThreshold = 0.0
    saveOpts.pdfCompatible = true
//Set up Variable to access layer name
          var currentLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];
// Loop through the layers and make the back ground layer visible
          if (currentLayer.name == "Background") {
                    docName = name + currentLayer.name+".eps";
                    currentLayer.visible = true;
// Delete Invisible Layers (based on http://www.cartotalk.com/index.php?showtopic=7491)
var myDoc=app.activeDocument;
var layerCount=myDoc.layers.length;
for (var ii = layerCount - 1; ii >= 0; ii--) {
    var currentLayer = myDoc.layers[ii];
    currentLayer.locked = false;
    var subCount = currentLayer.layers.length;
    for (var ss =subCount -1; ss >= 0; ss--){
        var subLayer = currentLayer.layers[ss];
        subLayer.locked = false;
        if (subLayer.visible == false){
            subLayer.visible = true;
            subLayer.remove();
    if (currentLayer.visible == false){
        currentLayer.visible = true;
        currentLayer.remove();
// Save Out Document with New Name
var saveName = new File ( doc.path + "/" + docName );
doc.saveAs( saveName, saveOpts );
Everything works fine except:
1) It saves the document with the name AdobeIllustratorBackground as opposed to the name of the document
Also, I am not sure how to tell the script to save as EPS and to specify the save location.
Could some one give me some pointers?          Thanks!

Thanks! I changed my code to this:
var title = doc.name;
var title = title.substring(0, title.length - 3);
And it now works! (The substring thing removes the .ai extenion).
However, how do I get it to save it as an EPS? (I found this script that saves as PNG, but I am not sure how to adapt it to EPS).
Also, how do I set the file output path?
Thanks for any help that can be offered.

CS5 changes file name on command+save from photoshop to Lightroom

Recently CS5 changes the names of my files to "untiteld" when I press "command + S" that have been exported from LR3. This doesn't happen to files opened directly from their original folder.
I can save them to a different location using "command +shift+ S" and the original name stays intact.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks
Greg Eddinger

No problem. Waiting for a video rendering and upload to finish ;-)
If it is fixed in another account than it is highly likely that a develop preset or default gets applied to your images. This happens quite easily and has happened to me unknowingly too. Basically you would by accident have hit the Reset button in Develop while the option key was pressed. What you want to do is to go into Preferences->Presets and hit the button that says "Reset all default Develop settings". Then hit reset on your image. If none of that works, you can always trash the Lightroom preferences file. Quit out of Lightroom, go to the Finder. Hit command-Shift-G. Type ~/Library/Preferences/ in the display that you get to reveal the hidden by default preferences folder in your home account. Find the file that is called com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist (you might not see the plist extension on your computer) and drag that to the trash. Now start Lightroom again and your Lightroom should behave as if you just installed it. You might have to point it to your catalog file if it doesn't open with it there but with an empty catalog. File->Open Catalog-> select your main catalog.

Prompt for a new file name on first save

I’m creating a form with 15 pages. The user might want to fill out the form several times with different content. So I’m looking for a solution where the user is asked to give a new name when s/he saves the PDF file for the first time. So the original empty form is still available for the next case.
In Word I would create a template, so a document created based on this template has no name unless the user specifies one. I.e. when the user clicks on the save button for the first time s/he gets a Save as dialog.
In Adobe I did not find a similar thing. I tried to add a preSave event asking the user whether s/he wants to give a new name, however then the user will be asked each time to give a name, not only the first time. Maybe I could check the filename, however I wonder whether there is an easier solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why don you keep a control info in a hidden text field?
I have modified you code a little. (see the lines in red color)
If still not working, post your form to this forum to have a look at it.

Photoshop Elements 12 is failing to add the jpg extension to file names when I "save as" even though the jpg format is selected in the drop-down list

I've just been following my normal workflow and all of a sudden my saved files don't have the jpg extension. I'm not having this problem in other photo editing software I use. I haven't changed any settings. Anybody else have this problem?

The Local Settings folder is a hidden folder.
(1) If the file appears in the Downloads manager (Tools menu or Ctrl+j), you can right-click it and use Open Containing Folder to get directly to it.
(2) To be able to see hidden folders on Windows XP in general, try this:
Open My Computer or Windows Explorer
Tools > Folder Options > View tab
Scroll down and look for the checkbox regarding hidden files and folders and unhide them.
Hopefully this will resolve the issue. Any luck?
(3) By the way, you may be able to save the images from the email message to a more convenient location by right-clicking the links and using Save Link As. (Before you open them for editing.)

When I right click on a site and click on "mail to" nothing happens. If I use "File/mail to" or click on an email link on a page gmail opens.

In Firefox options I have removed Gmail as the mail to application, and set it to Thunderbird. In Windows I have set Thunderbird to be default. Windows XP and latest update Thuderbird and Firefox.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
