No "create new swatch" command

I just noticed that there are no icon buttons at the bottom
of the swatches panel to create or delete a new swatch like there
is in AI and PS; is this an oversight?

Click in the swatches panel. The cursor will change into a
paint bucket,
and the color of any object you have selected will be added
to the panel.
Stop expecting things in Fireworks to work the same way they
do in
Photoshop. :-)

"Create New Swatch" not working in Indesign CS5

Suddenly, I am no longer able to create a process swatch by clicking on "new Swatch" on the swatch menu swatch. When I click this
window comes up and the PMS list is over the procees color boxes and i cant input anything. To work around I have been creating the Process colors and them dragging them to the swatch palatte, but this is annoying. Any Idea how to fix this problem?

Create new swatch using Guassian Blur

Hello
I am trying to create a new swatch pattern that repeats consistently (see diagram below)
I create a assemble four (6pt by 6pt squares) together and then colour them in approproiately. I guassian blur at 1.5pt each square. I add a base colour background in a square of 12pt by 12pt and then put a 12pt by 12pt invisible bounding box behind all this. I then drag to the swatch panel to create my new swatch.
Problem is that when I try to colour in a larger square with this patter I get harsh lines ... see the example. Would love thoughts on how to get around this
Thanks
John

Nah, don't create the seams at the edges of the squares but more in a flower shape with one of the squares in the middle and the others surrounding it as ahlf squares.

[JS][CS3] Create new swatch

Hi all,
I'm writing a script that reads an xml file and then converts the contents to InDesign Objects.
Most of this I can do, but I'm having problems with the colors and swatches in InDesign.
Simple said, what I'm trying to do is the following:
1. Create a rectangle on my document
2. Create a new Color Swatch with CMYK values
3. Use the swatch for the rectangle's fillColor or strokeColor
Using Javascript I can add new colors tot my document: myDoc.colors.add()
But I can't use this color for the fillColor or strokeColor properties, it says they it needs to be a swatch, and not a color.
Unfortunately, the method myDoc.swatches.add() doesn't exist, and I can't set a colorValue property to a swatch.
Does anybody know how to do this? I'm guessing there's a simple solution for this, but I'm just not seeing it.
Thanks in advance,
Dany

Hi Kasyan,
Thanks very much for your reply.
I breaked my head trying to find what was the difference between your code and mine, but now I see:
Instead of using myDoc.colors, I used app.colors, which returns an error if you try to use that color for a rectangle, textframe, etc.
Thanks !

Go-OpenOffice Writer Will Not Create New File

I'm having a problem with go-openoffice writer, where it is unable to create a new file. If I open writer directly, a file appears for a split second on my screen and then disappears. This also happens if I attempt to create a new file from withing an already existing file. Strangely, I can open already existing files, just not create new ones.
I tried uninstalling and resinstalling go-openoffice, but this didn't help. Any thoughts on what might be going on? Thanks.

Yes that's my problem. I can't open an empty writer window. If I execute writer from the Gnome applications menu or from a terminal, I see the window for a split second and then it disappears, as if something is immediately closing the window the moment it opens. This also happens if I use the create new file command in the file menu, from an existing Writer file. This is not a problem with other Ooo apps. Base, Calc, Draw, Impress, Math all open new files fine. Only writer has the problem.
As a completely cumbersome work around, I can open an existing file, use save-as to create another file, and then delete it's contents.

How to create new docs with custom swatch palette?

Looking to create new documents with a corporate color palette already available instead of having to load the .ase files. Fat chance?

Thanks Bob - I was trying that on a test MAC and it just was not sticking. A shutdown instead or a restart seemed to put things back in order and now all is good.

Error while creating new user in Oracle 11i EBS

I am getting following error while creating new user. How solve this issue?
“Unable to load java class % specified profile option SIGNON_PASSWORD_CUSTOM. Please verify that the class exists and that it implements the java interface oracle.apps.fnd.security.PasswordValidation”.

Following is the text from Note for Custom Password Validation logic:
Customers who wish to use their own password validation logic may do
so by writing their own Java classes that implement the
oracle.apps.fnd.security.PasswordValidation Java interface. The
interface requires 3 methods to be implemented:
1) public boolean validate(String user, String password)
    - This method takes a username and password, and then returns true
or false, indicating whether the user's password is valid or invalid,
respectively.
2) public String getErrorStackMessageName()
    - This method returns the name of the message to display when the
user's password is deemed invalid (i.e., the validate() method returns
false).
3) public String getErrorStackApplicationName()
    - This method returns the application shortname for the
aforementioned error message.
After writing the Java class to perform customized password
validation, the customer must then set the value of the profile option
SIGNON_PASSWORD_CUSTOM to be the full name of the class. If, for
example, the name of the Java class is
oracle.apps.fnd.security.AppsPasswordValidation, then the value of the
SIGNON_PASSWORD_CUSTOM profile option must be
oracle.apps.fnd.security.AppsPasswordValidation. Note that AOL/J
will attempt to load this class dynamically. Hence it is necessary to
make the class accessible by AOL/J. This means that in Forms, the
class must first be loaded into the database using the loadjava
command.

How to create a swatch library from multiple png files?

Illustrator CC
I am having a difficult time trying to create a new swatch libray of patterns from multiple png files. The way I am doing this is very slow and repetitive and seems silly for a tool as advanced as the latest CC suite including illustrator.
What it seems I must do is open all the png files in Illustrator, creating multiple workspaces, drag one png file into the swatch window, then save that window as a library, close the existing window to reveal the next png file, open the user library I just created, drag the next image into the currently active swatch window, then drag the previous swatch/s from the user library into the current active swatch window, resave and replace the user defined swatch library (now with two images in there)fromthe updated current active swatch panel/window, close the existing workspace to reveal the next image file, and then repeat the process again, slowly building the user defined swatch library up by adding one image at a time and then adding back into the Swatch panel the previously built up library of swatches again one at at time. (you can select all from the existing user defined library and drag over into swatch panel, but this creates at least one duplicate on each cycle for as soon as you click on the first swatch in the library, it adds itto the current swatch panel and then when you select all swatches to drag across it includes the first swatch and copies it again)
This is a very slow process to build up a swatch library. For some reason you cannot drag swatches directly into the user defined library you have created, only into the active swatch window for each workspace. I searched the web and forums for answers but could find none. There must be an easier way, just can't find it.
Ideally, the best option would be a swatch window option that allows the import directly from a list of selected files in the finder.
Any ideas out there?

Monika,
Thank you for responding, however I am not exactly clear on what you mean by "libraries are plain AI files". For example, I cannot find a file with the same name as my user defined library name that I have created. I can find the preinstalled swatches listed under Adobe Application Support... Library... Swatches, but a user defined folder is not present and the library sets that I have already created are not visible. I have tried searcing my Mac for a (name).ase file and still no luck (at least for the name I was looking for). I can open the user defined library from the Swatch library icon on the bottom left of the Swatch panel, but when I open this I cannot drag and drop add new swatches directly to this library. As stated above, I have to add each pattern, one at at time to the normal swatch panel, then add back the previous ones I have saved from the user defined library to the swatch panel and then save threm all as an updated user defined library. Thus by repeating this process, it builds up the user defined library one at a time.
I am using Illustrator CC if this makes a difference.

SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow - creating new items in the list

Hi,
I need to create a workflow in SharePoint designer 2013. Basically the flow is like that:
There is a Request List where people submit their requests. The requests have status: Submitted and Completed.
Once the status goes to 'Completed" there should be a workflow triggered that creates an entry in another list; VoC list and populate VoC columns. Additionally there should be an email send to the requestor that the request has been processed.
I tried to do that but I failed - what do I do wrong? It keeps telling me that there is an error in workflow.
Could you, please help me? Thank you.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Jowita

With this command it populated the Voc list. But when I tried to add additional fields, the workflow did not work. Fo example, I've got a column "Requestors Name" in Request List and I would like the same column in Voc List to be automatically
populated with the data from Requestors List. I set Field Requestors name to Value Current item:Requestors name but it did not work :-(
What do you mean by "VoC column is already created in VoC list"?
And one additional question: is it possible for the workflow to automatuically create new columns in the VoC list?
Hi Jowita,
We could use workflow to populate values in column but not populate new columns, so the column should be created in list manually before workflow.
As I understand now, you need to use workflow to populate at least two columns in another list, and one is person or people type. I captured a screenshot for your reference, pp column is in person or group type in both two lists, please set return
type as Display name:

How do I select a set of swatches (ideally at once) from a long list to create a swatch library?

I just started using PS (CS6) and I added 10 new custom swatches that I want to save in a new swatch library. However, I still have the PS default library of swatches listed (that contains scores of colors). Can I select multiple swatches at once to save them for the swatch library? Or do I need to delete ALL the default swatches first manually, then save the remaining colors in the new swatch library? If so, it makes it a daunting task...

I watched a tutorial on the Preset Manager and was able to finally select multiple swatches to create a swatch library by using the [Shift] key while selecting.
One of the problems was that the swatches were displaying as small thumbnails and it was difficult for me to see each swatch selected (plus, the outline of the selections were blue, and many of the colors I selected were blue).
What also through me off was that when you display swatches in a pane (say, when working on an image), one of the dropdown options is "Save Swatches", which I thought allowed you to save swatches in a library (not just an individual swatch).
Without the tutorial, I don't think I would have been able to figure out the right steps! Thanks for the tips, guys.

How can you create a swatch from a jpeg in Illustrator CS4?

I am trying to create a jpeg image into a swatch in Illustrator CS4. In previous versions you could simply drag the image into the swatches toolbar and it would convert it automatically. Now when I do that nothing happens. When I click on new swatch it creates a colour swatch instead of the actual image itself.

When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?

Need to create new users in Office 365 with custom attributes from a csv file

I am exporting users from an active directory environment and then deleting them from AD. They are Alumni and will no longer be in AD.
I have a csv file with the following fields that I need to use to create new Alumni email boxes in Office 365 for. I need the CustomAttributes because my Dynamic Distribution Groups use them. I am fairly new to PowerShell and have been unable to get this
to work. I suspect I may have to split it into two parts, but am not sure how to proceed. Any assistance would be appreciated. I was directed here from the Office 365 community.

Ok, it wasn't stopping after 2 iterations. What I was seeing was 2 failures. The first was the Get-Mailbox command and the second was when it tried to assign attributes. For some reason it is not looping when it fails. It just goes on and tries to assign
the Custom Attributes. I added writes in to tell me what was happening.

Custom color-palette keeps becoming read-only and will not let me add new swatches

I need to make a custom colour palette for work that i can open on different adobe programs, share with others and add new swatches to as I go. I create a custom palette, save it a custom name but whenever I re-open it, it has become a read-only palette and I can no longer add custom swatches to it. How do I get around this problem if I need to keep adding colours to my custom palettes?
Thanks

In case you need to keep swatches from the ASE:
create a new document
empty the swatches panel
add all the swatches from the ASE into that document's swatches panel
add new colors as swatches
from the swatches panel's menu select "save library"
Also see the manual on creating swatches.

No "create new swatch" command
