IDCS6 MACOSX JS: "remove unused layer" script doesn't see masters based on masters

Hello everybody.
I have an old script that I have used many times to remove unused layers. Until today I thought it worked well:
var layers = app.documents[0].layers.everyItem().getElements();
for(var i=layers.length-1;i>=0;i--){
if(layers[i].pageItems.length==0){
    layers[i].remove();
However, today I used the script on a document that had a layer that was only ever used once on a master page that the other master pages were based upon. To my surprise, when the script was run, this specific layer was deleted.
my scripting knowledge is poor, but looking at the script it looks like the script is looking at all layers that have anything in them, and any layer that has no item is to be deleted. however, I think that pageItems only refers to regular pages or master pages, not masters BASED ON other masters.
I think the problem is similar to another that I had recently where I had a script that removed unused masters, but removed masters that other masters were based on, and I think the principles are the same. That thread can be found at:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5922004#5922004
in short, the script that worked there was as follows:
xUnusedMasters(myDoc);
function xUnusedMasters( docRef ) {
var mpNames = new Object () ;
var allPages = docRef.pages ;
for ( var pIndex = allPages.length - 1 ; pIndex >= 0 ; pIndex-- ) {
mpNames = addMasterName ( mpNames , allPages[pIndex] ) ;
var allMasterPages = docRef.masterSpreads ;
for ( var mpIndex = allMasterPages.length - 1 ; mpIndex >= 0 ; mpIndex-- ) {
if ( ! mpNames[allMasterPages[mpIndex].name] ) {
allMasterPages[mpIndex].remove() ;
return ;
function addMasterName ( MPDB , pageRef ) {
if ( pageRef == null ) { return MPDB ; }
if ( pageRef.constructor.name == 'MasterSpread' ) {
MPDB[pageRef.name] = true ;
return addMasterName ( MPDB , pageRef.appliedMaster ) ;
is it possible to modify the above script so that instead of removing unused master pages, it removes unused layers in a similar fashion?
Many thanks,
Colly

Hi,
Maybe a little bit different way...:
Array.prototype.filter = function(collection) {
          var k, i, con, ids = collection.everyItem().id;
          con: for (k = ids.length - 1; k >=0; k--)
                    for (i = 0; i < this.length; i++)
                    if (this[i].id == ids[k]) {
                         ids.splice(k, 1);
                         continue con;
          return ids;     // array with unmatched ids from collection
var
          mL = app.activeDocument.pageItems.everyItem().itemLayer,
          mUnusedLayersID = mL.filter(app.activeDocument.layers),
          len = mUnusedLayersID.length;
while (len-->0)
          app.activeDocument.layers.itemByID(mUnusedLayersID[len]).remove();
mL is an array with each pageItem's layer;
filter compares it to doc.layers collections;
unmatched means unused so are removed.

Need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it

need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it - i have everything removed from scan in quarantine but have no idea which one is what i need to reverse and allow my photoshop elements 2.0 (old version, I know, but I love it) to work again

Use the anti-virus program to reverse everything it quarantined and in future ensure the anti-virus program settings let you check and decide what items to quarantine and what to ignore. Letting an anti-virus program quarantine things automatically is a recipe for disaster.
You could also check if you have a System Restore point from before the anti-virus run.

Be abble to automatically remove unused resultLists, after onTheFly reporting, onTheFly DB writing ...

Hello,
If you get memory problems, you had to tune your reports options, result collecting, load / unload modules ....
These tasks are very long, you have to point all memory consumers first ... It pollutes your test sequence only for memory purposes !
When you try to modify the result reccording, you will also have problems for your report generation ...
It should be nice to add a new feature allowing an automatic result list removing, after onTheFly reporting, ontheFly database writing have treted them ...
A kind of "OnTheFly and remove unused results"
When ontheFly reporting, and The OnTheFly database writing are over, the treated resultList should be put in a garbage structure !
Older test results could be removed if memory is needed ...
I know this could be not simple ... but this could help very much, for big sequences creation.
Thanks a lot.

Guys, I think I've found the strange thing.
First, in the recovery shell, when I type "lvm lvscan", it prints:
WARNING: lvmetad is running but disabled. Restart lvmetad before enabling it!
and then it says that all four my logical volumes root,boot,home and var are inactive.
So I tried to set them up manually, with "lvm vgchange -a y", and guess what happened: I was able to boot!
I still haven't managed to understand the real causes of this problem, but basically it seems that I have the same problem explained here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184340.
The only difference is that there the OP says to have solved the problem with an upgrade to Linux 3.15.7, while it appeared to me with the upgrade to 3.18.3, and as I said it doesn't go away neither with a downgrade nor with another upgrade to version 3.18.4

Thread FAQ:findind removed collection elements

Hi All
i have two threads and one collection with some elements ,The problem is one removed some elements in collections now i want to find out elements removed by thread one with thread two

Well they're not in the collection any more, are they? so the thread that removed them will have to remember them somewhere, or else the other thread will need a copy of the original collection.
It's not a Thread FAQ question. Any two classes that used the collection would have the same issue.

Does Flex Builder remove unused code?

Hi, I have alot of dead code in app that is resulting in an unnecessarily large SWF. Is there a way to make the flex compiler remove unused functions?

Although tedious, drkstr_1 has the plan of action. Generally you should need to clean up orphaned code and remove all trace statements. I often see the tracing statements of other Flash Player products when doing development and some are quite revealing if not embarrasing.
Also "unnecessarily large swf" begs the question what is large? If in Flash IDE did you run the bandwidth report to see exactly what makes it "unnecessarily large swf". You see this option in the publish settings.
Typically code is not going to make a "unnecessarily large swf" but rather digital assets embedded and fonts embedded. Code could make it "unnecessarily large swf" if there are lots of libraries you are using and you are only using some tiny part of the library which you could refactor or find a snippet on the net.
Last "unnecessarily large swf" in relation to what bandwidth? Do you have a targeted minimum bandwidth to make the assessment "unnecessarily large swf"?

Removing unused media from Sequence cause crashing

I am trying to remove unused media from projects prior to archiving to free up/clean up finished projects. Each project I have tried to do this with I am having the program close during process. Then when I try to reopen project it will not open and keeps crashing. Firstly are these project now corrupt, and can I still archive them somehow or get the project back?? Please help as the projects I have tried to do this with aren't of huge importance but I do need to try to clean up and archive others that are.

It is safe to use the media manager...
Check your hard drive for space...for 30 mins means you'll need at least another 6.5 GB of free space... make it 8GB to be safe...
In media manager (NOTE : also read the manual carefully) use the COPY option...
Using COPY, ensure the 'duplicate selected items and place into a new project' box IS ticked, this will set up a completely new project and folder, containing ONLY EVERYTHING you have in your 30 min sequence... and will not delete or change anything from the origonal... If you go to the new folder you'll see another folder called 'media'... this will contain all the clips etc.
Then, open up the new COPIED project, watch it to check it's ok... if it's cool (which it should be) then you now have a completely independant project that is nothing to do with the origonal... and contains only used media.
Then, open up final cut pro docs>capture scratch> 'project name' and you can simply delete ALL your old media manually, knowing that everything you need is now in a new folder elsewhere....
Of course, this only works if you have that little bit of extra space left on your drive for the new media to be copied to... but i find it's the safest, and easiest way of removing unused media.

How to manually remove Photoshop Elements 4.0 from Windows

My uninstaller for Photoshop Elements 4.0 in Add or Remove programs fails with the message - "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." The program folder still resides on my harddrive. The program itself neither runs nor will it allow me to delete the program files' Photoshop Elements 4.0 folder that contains the executable and dll files from my harddrive. I need a manual uninstall proceedure.

Have you got the disc? If so, you might try installing it again then an uninstall.
Failing that...
Here's the Adobe tech doc on removing Photoshop Elements 5. I would assume it would be the same procedure.

Removing unused items / optimizing file size

I have a large swf that is embedded in Director as a sprite. I now want to put it onto a web page, so file size is critical. Is there a way to remove unused library items when publishing so that file size is reduced? Is there another way to compress the swf so it is much smaller? The current size is about 25 Mb. What about streaming the swf? I'm not talking about streaming video or audio, just any Flash content. Any tricks for speeding the process up so that the user doesn't have a long wait before the swf starts?
In Director, there is a way to right-click on a cast member and choose "find in score". If something isn't found it means that it either is not used in the movie or is implemented through code. Is there a similar way in Flash of detecting unused items or automatically eliminating them when publishing?
Thanks,
Brian

all used assets would have to be downloaded eventually but it's a much nicer user experience to promptly see something useful on-stage, sooner rather than later. background sound, for example, need not be downloaded when a page first loads and should download after items more useful to the user have already downloaded.
under file/publish settings/flash/tick generate size report you can see what's bloating your swf.
