No 'scripts' in my file menu?

when i click on file there is no 'scripts' option to select. I am using cs3 professional (mac leopard). any idea why this would be?
I also tried activating and deactivating the 'allow scripts to write files...' in the general preferences, but this makes no difference.

Are there any JSX scripts in your AE directory (Support Files/Scripts)? Sounds like your AE is not installed correctly and some components are missing...

How to script File Menu "Create Archive of..."

I have been trying to script the File Menu's "Create Archive" command but i can't figure out how to add the quote characters around the items name when only one item is selected for archiving. I have tried the escape character but applescript errors on it. I can get it to work if I use menu item number, but that varies by system.
here is what I have so far.
try
tell application "Finder"
activate
select item "PicaX4:BackUp:"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
-- create archive
click menu item "Create Archive of \"BackUp\" " of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
on error errMsg
end try
on a related topic, how do I wait for the completion of the archive process so I can then do something with the zip file?
any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
thank you, greg

Since 'Create archive' basically creates a .zip file, it would be far easier to use a shell script to do this:
do shell script "/usr/bin/zip -r /Volumes/PicaX4/BackUp.zip /Volumes/PicaX4/BackUp"
If you still want to take the UI approach you should note that the menu item uses 'smart' quotes “and” and not the regular quotes.

Please help me. I don't understand why the script is launched from the sharepoint management shell but doesn't work from the cmd file.

I have an answer for my problem: for solving a problem I've made several steps:
1. Run farm installation under AD admin credentials - runas /user:Domain1\DomainAdmin1 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN\psconfigui.exe".
This user has been added as farm administrator in the wizard.
This user has been added as DBO in the SQL Server. (This is the main difference with my previous attempts)
2. Execute a command Add-SPShellAdmin Domain1\UserAccount1 in
the Management Shell of Sharepoint.
3. Run SQL server and add Sharepoint_Shell_Access to the Domain1\UserAccount1
(my main account) in the Config database
4. Run CMD file only from Start->Run menu.
runas /user:Domain1\UserAccount1 "C:\1.cmd".
Do not use Total Commander command prompt or file list for executing *.cmd of *.bat files without root administrator account.
Thanks all for help.

How to customize or create new file menu items in Adobe Illustrator CS 6?

Hi all,
I have developed a script to perform some Custom action in Illustrator. I want to make this script run from a a File Menu Item so it can be invoked easily. Is there a way to customize Illustarator to add a new menu item or modify the existing menu tems functions. For example if the script needs to be invoked when the user click "Save" is there a way that could be done.
Thanks

Thanks Mark,
When you mean by limited menu location does it mean a plugin could be added under "File" as options or AI only allows it under "Window" where you launch the plugins from normally.

Place command not appearing in file menu

I click file and do not see the Place Command so I can insert picture. Where else could it be?

Hold on a sec. Are you saying it appears in the File menu, but not in the context menu?
That's normal -- I've been asking for years for Place to appear in context menus...
Here's a script written a few years ago by Gerald Singelmann that will add the command to the context menu:
//Add "Place" to the context menu by Gerald Singelmann
//Place this script into the "Startup Scripts" Folder inside the scripts folder in the app folder.
#targetengine "session"
ContextPlace();
function ContextPlace(){
var myResult = true;
if(myResult == true){
var myLayoutContextMenu = app.menus.item("$ID/RtMouseLayout");
var myBeforeDisplayListener = myLayoutContextMenu.addEventListener("beforeDisplay", myBeforeDisplayHandler, false);
function myBeforeDisplayHandler(myEvent){
if(app.documents.length != 0){
if(app.selection.length == 1){
switch(app.selection[0].constructor.name){
case "Rectangle":
case "Oval":
case "Polygon":
case "GraphicLine":
case "TextFrame":
//Add the menu item if it does not already exist.
if(myCheckForMenuItem(myLayoutContextMenu, "Place...") == false){
myMakeMenuItem();
break;
default:
if(myCheckForMenuItem(myLayoutContextMenu, "Place...") == true){
myLayoutContextMenu.menuItems.item("Place...").remove();
function myCheckForMenuItem(myMenu, myString){
var myResult = false;
try{
var myMenuItem = myMenu.menuItems.item(myString);
myMenuItem.name;
myResult = true
catch(myError){}
//alert("Menu item found? " + myResult);
return myResult;
function myCheckForScriptMenuItem(myString){
var myResult = false;
try{
var myScriptMenuAction = app.scriptMenuActions.item(myString);
myScriptMenuAction.name;
myResult = true
catch(myError){}
//alert("Script menu action found? " + myResult);
return myResult;
function myMakeMenuItem(){
if(myCheckForScriptMenuItem("Place...") == false){
//alert("Making a new script menu action!");
var myMenuAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Place...");
var myEventListener = myMenuAction.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", myEventHandler, false);
var myPlaceMenuItem = app.menus.item("$ID/RtMouseLayout").menuItems.add(app.scriptMenuActions.item("Place..."));
function myEventHandler(myEvent){
//alert("Got to myEventHandler!");
if(app.selection.length == 1){
switch(app.selection[0].constructor.name){
case "TextFrame":
case "GraphicLine":
case "Rectangle":
case "Oval":
case "Polygon":
var myFile = File.openDialog ("Place file...", undefined, false);
app.selection[0].place(myFile);
break;
} else {
alert("Please select only one frame.");
Copy the code above and paste into a plain text editor like Notepad. Save as type "all files" and add the .jsx extension. It should be placed into the application \Scripts\Startup Sripts subfolder and it will run when ID starts up. The folder should exist in CS5, but if not you can add it.
Here's one by Dirk (I think Becker) that does the same thing to add No Break:
#target "InDesign"
/* This script will copy the existing menu action into a new menu item.
The "$ID/" strings ensure it will even work with localized versions of InDesign.
For permanent execution, save the script as startup script e.g. in a folder "path to InDesign/Scripts/new folder/startup scripts".
Dirk
( function () {
var anb = app.menus.itemByName("$ID/CharPanelPopup").menuItems.itemByName("$ID/Apply no break");
var atc = app.menus.itemByName("$ID/RtMouseText");
try {
atc.menuItems.itemByName(anb.name).remove();
} catch( ex ) {};
atc.menuItems.add(anb.associatedMenuAction,LocationOptions.BEFORE,atc.menuItems .itemByName("$ID/ClearAllOverrides"));
Do the same for it.

A script to open files in a directory that have certain properties

I need a script to open all JPG files in a directory and it's subfolders that have a height greater than the width and then run a specific photoshop action for each (inlcuding a save for web within the same directory). Not sure if it's best to record that into the action as it will probably always try to save in the same directory. Probably need something similar to the batch options available in Photoshop that override this...
Any help is much appreciated.

I think I found what I'm looking for in ImageReady although I'm not sure how to set it to batch. I don't see the batch command in the File menu like Photoshop...

HT2905 I updated the latest itunes software and Display Duplicates is no longer under the file menu. How do I get rid of all the duplicates?

I just upgraded the itunes on my PC and the display duplicates option is no longer found under the FILE menu. How do I get rid of the MANY duplicate songs I have in my library with out the display duplicates option? HELP

Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background and please take note of the warning tobackup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Note if some of the duplicate items have the iCloud link icon sign out of the store, then sign in again.

Disappearing file menu on os x 10.4

shake intermittently disables all the entries in the 'File' menu on one of our machines. shake 4.1 on OS X 10.4.11, Mac Pro intel. Seems to only affect one user. No custom scripts on the users ~/nreal. Strange.
I've seen disappearing menu bars in shake 4.0 under 10.3, a quick wipe of the mouse fixed that but this necessitates a shake restart.
Anyone else had this problem?
thanks!

It works now. I had been connecting by doing the following:
Finder menu > Go > Network > double-clicking on the description of the Tiger machine in the resulting list
Finder then indicated that I was connected as a guest.
After your recommendation, I tried connecting by doing the below:
Finder menu > Go > Connect to Server... > then connecting to the IP address (Internet Protocol address) of the Tiger machine.
Then the dialog window that you described, with the option to connect as a guest or a registered user, appeared.
After using the latter method of connecting, I can now also connect as a registered user with Finder menu > Go > Network > double-clicking on the description of the Tiger machine.
Thank you for all of your help, BDAqua!

Cannot open my photos in 3rd party apps by file menu- open file command

iphoto08 prevents me from opening my photos in ANY application by way of the file menu' 'file open' command located on the apple bar at the top of the screen..
the only work around i can find for this issue is to have iphoto open and drag each photo i want to use from iphoto into the 'file open' dialouge box in another program. or drag the photo from iphoto onto the desktop.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANOTHER SOLUTION?
I HATE IPHOTO 08- I WANT ACCESS TO MY PHOTOS LIKE IN PREVIOUS VERSIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the most ask question - a quick search would turn up many, many, many answers. For TD's comprehensive discussion see -- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1143631&tstart=15
The short answer is that Apple has made the library a package to protect it from damage.
Old Toad has a back up script to backup your library on your local disk
For e-mail the best way is to configure MAIL as your mail client if it will work for your service (it does work for many), select the photos you want and click e-mail to generate an e-mail to send
For editing you can set iPhoto preferences to use a third party program to edit photos.
So there are Many solutions depending on what you are trying to do.

HT1414 When I hit restore a file menu from my computer pops up and I am not sure what file to put in to get my iphone to restore from. I don't get the box that says are you sure you want to restore. So how do I get it to restore so I can see if this fix

I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front. This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out. I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists. I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone. I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page. A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone. I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone. I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)? Thanks

I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current. Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.
Here is a picture of what I get

I get the Save As dialog when trying to Save, whether using Command-S or File menu

When trying to Save a document, I am presented with the Save As dialog. The file name has a serial number added to the old file name and the default destination is the Documents file. This happens whether I have tried to save using Command-S or using the Save option in the File menu. This started after I upgraded to Mavericks.

I checked and the files are not stationery pads, Permissions show me as having read and write authority.
But, when I opened the files from the finder, the problem disappears and they saved normally. I then removed the files from the Dock and re-placed them in the Dock via drag and drop. The problem re-appears and changes will not save normally. Not being able to use the Dock is inconvenient but at least there is a workaround. Thanks for your help! Before declaring victory, I'd like to watch it for a while for other quirks.

File menu bug in Elements 8 for Mac

I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac. While the software overall works very well, I noticed a bug which has now started hampering my work. Out of the blue, 'Open', 'Open New Blank File' and 'Browse with Bridge' in the file menu become grey (disabled) and shotrcuts for opening files (Command-O and Command-N) or clicking on the open new file icon yield no result. Preferences menu cannot be accessed as well. As per the software license, I installed Elements on an iMac running OS 10.5.8 and on my MacBook running OS 10.4.11 I am having this problem on both :-( The menus do appear but intermittently. Any help to fix this bug would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I got it!!!!!
It's a clipboard related problem! Whenever I copy an image (a vector image or graphic specifically) from any application, New 'Image from Clipboard' option (in the file menu) gets enabled in Elements 8 and due to it, all menus relating to opening a new file get disabled including, strangely, preferences. Somehow Elements assumes that the new file/image will be the same as the one in the clipboard. The moment I copy any text in any application (so that the clipboard does not have any graphic in it), the disabled Elements menus get enabled! It seems Elements 8 does not support vector graphics perhaps that's why..
