Open a dialog/panel on Option/alt + click

I've created an indesign panel using Adobe Configurator. The panel includes a few javascripts I've written to automate a few tasks in indesign. On some of the buttons I would like to include a funcitionality where in a dialog pops up when the used alt/option clicks on them. I plan to use that as a settings/preferences dialog for that script.
Similar alt-click behavior can be seen in the text wrap icons included in the dock at the top in indesign. When you alt-click on them it opens up the text wrap panel.
How would i go about this? Can anyone point me to some resources where i can investigate further.
Thanks

You could try the Configurator forum.
If I misunderstood you and your talking about clicking on a SUI button with the alt key down then I think that's quite easy

How do I clean out the "Open With" dialog box when I right click an image?f

Hi,
When I right-click and image to open it in a program I get a long list of programs to choose from. Many are duplicated or the same program but different version #s like Preview. How do I clean out the dupes and ones I don't want and keep the ones I do?
How would I add CS3's Adobe Camera Raw to the list?

Do a search for details on cleaning up the "open with" dialog, it's been discussed before but I'm sorry I can't remember what the fixes are.
I have duplicate choices too but have never tried to clean them up.

Steve M.

Option double click on an image in InDesign doesn't take me to Photoshop. It just opens in Preview.

Option double click on an image in InDesign doesn't take me to Photoshop. It just opens in Preview.

But now when I open any jpeg it wont open in preview. It always opens in Photoshop.
Is there any way to make it so the image opens in photoshop when I option double click in Indesign and when I am not in Indesign the image opens in preview.
Thanks

Dolphin and Konqueror crashes when trying to open "properties" dialog

As the title says, trying to right click and choosing properties from both Dolphin and Konqueror.
The wierd thing is that it only happens with folders, not files.

The KDE open file dialog also crashes when right clicking a folder and choosing properties.
But doing it from the pasmoid folder view does work.

Can anyone here tell me what is the solution to this?
Usually by a logical process of elimination. The first step would normally be to determine if the proble is local or global. This can be tested by thre creation of a second user account and checking to see if the same problem exists. I.e., if the problem does not exist, then it is local to you first user account and may be something as simple as a corrupt PLIS file. On the other hand, if the proble exists in both user accounts, the it is a global problem like a corrupt application, a conflict with another app, or an OS-wide problem. Basically, the results of each test gives some indication of what you should try next.

I have Macbook Pro and Adobe CC. 3D won't work.. I can open the 3D panel options but clicking ok or even choosing preview brings up an error message [can't]

My friend has exact same Mac and CC and he has the same problem. We both have up to date Yosemite and CC versions.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Could you please confirm the CC application you are using.
It would be great if you post a screenshot of the problem.

Clicking a frame in the taskbar that has an open modal dialog

hi guys,
ive written a small application which openes several dialogs. since i need to pass it to less experienced users who dont know how to use alt+tab (on windows) i have a question:
if there is an open modal dialog with my frame as owner and it isnt activated / on top of the screen a click onto the taskbar icon (the frame) should bring up the dialog with the frame in the background.
testing this results in a behaviour i didnt expect - not the modal dialog with the frame in the background pops up but the frame without showing up the dialog.
since dialogs dont get an entry in the taskbar the 0815-user doesnt know how to get back the dialog. and even worse - he cant do anything anymore (modal dialog..).
how can i fix that problem?
thanks in advance

lol
got the problem
i added the owner of the dialog - but in a different class ;)
my test case was still null

AICS5-I cannot reflect by specifying an axis--alt-Click does not bring up dialog box

I follow the instructions below. But when I alt-click, the dialog box does not pop up ---at least not until I give up and move my cursor off the artboard. Then the dialog box comes up, but the "preview" shows my object no where near reflected off the axis I designated???
Reflect by specifying an axis
Select the object to reflect.
To reflect the object around the object’s center point, choose Object > Transform > Reflect or double-click the Reflect tool .
To reflect the object around a different reference point, Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) anywhere in the document window.
In the Reflect dialog box, select the axis across which you want the object to be reflected. You can reflect an object across a horizontal, a vertical, or an angled axis.
If the object contains patterns and you want to reflect the patterns, select Patterns. (To reflect only the patterns, deselect Objects.)
To preview the effect before you apply it, select Preview.
Do one of the following:
To reflect the object, click OK.
To reflect a copy of the object, click Copy.

Is it possible to detect an alt-click or cmd-click on a button of a custom panel?

For the sake of screen real estate I would like to tie two similar commands to a single button that can be alt-clicked or cmd-clicked for a different outcome.
I know the ScriptUI provides some options but I'm looking for a way to handle it in the panel itself without a pop-up.
I would like to know if it is possible to detect a modifier during a click event inside the panel and, if possible, how to handle it.
Thank you for any insight to the situation.
Regards,
Patrick Deen

Thank you for your reply. I am aware of the scriptUI keyboardState.
To detect that event inside the photoshop html panel would require a function call to the jsx before it can be available inside the html panel.
The reason my question is relevant to this forum is that the html panel's run on chromium inside the photoshop environment, which I think might pose some limitations to what can be achieved with javascript on the html/panel side.
I was looking into a way to change the appearance of a button so it would give the user some indication that when "ALT-clicked" another precess would take place.

I copied our entire music folder from old PC on tovnew iMac, all our muisc is there, but not our individual libraries have gone. and holding down the alt key when opening iTunes, brings up no options to choose or create libarys, can i recover our liba

Hi
I copied our entire music folder from our old pc on to the new imac, and all the apps, music etc is there, but no individual libarys, we had 5 very different ones, when pressing and holding the alt key on opeing itunes, nothing happens it just opens into itunes, no option to choose or create a libary, what am i doing wrong?

Did you copy the entire iTunes folder, not just media? This includes the critical library.itl file.
Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
Now you say you had 5 libraries. If you really mean that then you would have to have copied 5 different iTunes folders in their entirety, not just one folder. Anyway, something makes me feel you did not copy a whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files, you only copied the music.
On the starting with the option (alt) key held down I really don't know what to advise. It works for me hundreds of times and just about everybody else here. The only thing I can suggest is to hold the key down longer or perhaps start iTunes and then 1 second later hold down the key for a few seconds.

KDE open file dialog does not honor the global double click setting

I have checked both in system settings and in the file
$HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals
to make sure the singleclick is set to false. Still in the open/save dialog the files are selected and opened in a single click.
This bug is not seen in chakra linux (which now has kde 4.8.2).
Anyone can confirm this?

It works for me.

When I click the Editor, it loads but does not open the Editor page. Options?

When I click the Editor, it loads but does not open the Editor page. Options?

Try making separate desktop icons for the Editor and Organizer. You can then launch directly. The standard desktop icon is for the welcome screen which often runs in the background or doesn’t shut down properly.
Start by right-clicking on the desktop and select:
New >> Shortcut
Then browse to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
Inside the Photoshop Elements 13 folder make sure you select the application (not a shortcut) by scrolling down to the files beginning with the letter P and highlighting ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor’
Then click next followed by finish.
You can repeat for the Organizer using the different file path.
New >> Shortcut
Then browse to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer
Highlight ‘PhotoshopElementsOrganizer’
Then click next, followed by finish.
Now that you have your separate desktop icons you can delete the one for the welcome screen, if preferred. On Mac try launching directly from Applications. [if not using PSE13 substitute your own version and go to Program Files (x86)]

How to open subscribe dialog box when clicking ics link

I would like to create a web page containing all our shared calendar links so my users need only to click a link which will open iCal, have the "subscribe" dialog box pop up and have the calendar URL auto filled.
I've gotten as far as opening the ics file with iCal but am stuck on how to force the "subscribe" box to automatically open.
For example, I would want the link: http://sharedcalendars/home/scott/calendar.ics
to open iCal, pop up the "subscribe" box and auto fill the URL field with http://sharedcalendar/home/scott/calendar.ics .
My users are lazy and complain to great lengths about having to manually type the URL of each shared calendar.
Any Ideas?

mouse listener on the tree, see if the click count is 2 and what node it clicked, open the dialog. MouseEvent can give you the click count and x/y coordinate, JTree can tell you what node is at that coordinate.

ALT + Click on Adjustment Layer Icon isn't working

Hi,
it drives me crazy, i'd like to ALT + click on the Adjustment Layer down in the Layers panel to open the dialog window when creating a new adjustment layer. But it's not working. Sometimes the adjustment layer options just flushes for a very short period of time but most time nothing happens.
Any idea if something is wrong with my keyboard shortcuts?
thanks in advanced
Alex

I have come across this on two different machines so far both running CC 2014.
The only way I have found to make it work is to ALT right-click, which works every time for me.
Annoying isn't it.

How to open form in another form view when click image in list view?

Hi All,
I have created list view where "Picture" is one of the column. If you click Picture column it will open its item. I achieve using this
resource.
Actually that list form has been customized by InfoPath and create two views.
Now, when i click that Picture column in that list view, it should open in another view instead of default view. How to achieve this?
Here is my code:
// List View – Field open modal dialog Sample
(function () {
// Create object that have the context information about the field that we want to change it output render
var pictureFiledContext = {};
pictureFiledContext.Templates = {};
pictureFiledContext.Templates.Fields = {
//"Picture" is the column name.
"Picture": { "View": pictureFiledTemplate }
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(pictureFiledContext);
function pictureFiledTemplate(ctx) {
var url= ctx.CurrentItem[ctx.CurrentFieldSchema.Name];
var itemID=ctx.CurrentItem.ID;
var itemTitle=ctx.CurrentItem.Title;
return "<img alt='"+url+"' src='"+url+"' complete='complete' onclick=\"openModalDialog('EditForm.aspx?ID="+itemID+"','"+itemTitle+"')\" />";
function openModalDialog(url,title)
var options = {
title: "Item-"+title,
width: 600,
height: 600,
url: url
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
return false;

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you customized the list form, and created two list view.
I had created two list view, named view1 and view2, and customized the list form using the InfoPath.
Then replaced the code onclick=\"openModalDialog('EditForm.aspx?ID="+itemID+"','"+itemTitle+"')\"
with
onclick=\"openModalDialog('view2.aspx?ID="+itemID+"','"+itemTitle+"')\".
Afther that, edit the view1 page, Edit the list web part. Go to Miscellaneous -> JS Link, add the following URL into the JS Link textbox.
~site/Shared Documents/PictureFieldTemplate.js
Now when you click the image, it would open the view2 page.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason
