Open Recent - CS3 Complete File Path

In CS2 my open recent files showed the complete file path. e.g. d:\jobs\clients name\file name.indd.
In CS3 it only shows file name without the complete path.
Is there a setting to change this or am I stuck with it?

CS3 will show the complete path if it is necessary to eliminate ambiguity.

Opening Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2 (Mac Tiger 10.411)

Is it possible to open Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2? After I created them in Photoshop CS3 I reset the preferences to maximize compatibility "always", then I resaved all the psd files. Do you think this will work? I have to open them in CS2 tomorrow at work...

Also, some old features may have changed in the new version. Specifically, I had some CS3 files from a client that had smart objects that did not open correctly in CS2.
As I recall, CS2 was able to open a flattened version of the file, just not fully layered with smart objects.
I actually had CS3 on my laptop, just not on the tower I wanted to work on, so I opened the files on the laptop, rasterized the smart objects, and saved. After this, CS2 opened the files with layers.

File Open Recent (Showing old files)

For some reason very often in PS CS3 if I go to File > Open Recent it doesn't show me the most recent files. Very, very annoying. Anyone have this problem or a workaround? Thanks.

I shut down PS by the X in the upper right hand corner in Windows.
Had not thought about working over a server. If I'm always live on those servers why should that make a difference? Shouldn't the app be able to go out and retrieve the file if it can connect?
Thanks!

Unable to open various CS3 .indd files - no error message

Hi, running CS3 5.0.4 on a G5 Leopard. Most of our .indd files will not launch - no error message though - and nothing appears but the program launches fine. I've found other .indd files that will open fine. The files in question haven't been used since February though the ones that will open haven't been opened/updated as well.
I just installed CS3 to my Macbook Pro but same result. I tried copying the files to my desktop but no diff either. Since I get the same result, I'm inferring this is not a preferences issue. I read about exporting to .inx but Export is not available since the file does not open, if that would help in this case.
The main commonality I'm noticing is the "bad" ones have similarly small sizes around 20-28k which seems too small to hold any data. I just created a new document and by default it is 808k.
Does anyone know how to recover from this issue and what the cause is/was? I'm hoping this is a known, recoverable issue please!
Thanks,
E

Getting complete file path in Adobe Interactive Form

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I have a field ZPATH1 on Adobe Interactive Form. I am putting a BROWSE button and writing following JavaScript on CLICK event on this button for populating the chosen file path into field ZPATH1.
*Start of JavaScript
var sFile;
event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
var oFile;
oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path;
*End of JavaScript
1. event.target.importDataObject(sFile) --> Giving me the pop up to select the file.
2. this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = oFile.path; --> Putting the oFile path in field ZPATH1 on the form.
3. This way is only giving me the selected FILE NAME whereas I need the complete path.
I have tried below way also:
this.parent.parent.Sub_Form_Fields_Mass.ZPATH1.rawValue = even.target.path;
This function returns me the complete path but in URL form. It does not give me the presentation server path.
Please suggest me how to get the complete path of presentation server to the file.
Appreciation would be honored in form of points!!!

Ashish

I don't recognize the tech - is it something related to BusinessObjects Enterprise?

Missing Photographs - 5,000 in total - is there a programmatic way to get the complete file paths missing?

HostOS : Mac OS X
LightRoom version : 4.4
I accidentally moved linked files over the past few years, and just discovered (via "Missing Photos" view) that I have 5,000 missing photos.
I know the master photos are on my hard disk drive ... so, that is the good news.
BUT I do not want to have to click to re-link all 5,000 missing photos one at a time.
Is there a way to programmatically get the list of file paths of those 5,000 missing photos on my MacOSX system -- so that I can write an AppleScript to extract the unique image file name from the full file path extracted from LightRoom, locate the image in Finder, and move it back to the expected file path where Lightroom expects to find it?

If most of your reorganization consisted of moving whole folders rather than individual pics, you can quickly relink entire folders, or even folders of folders, rather than individual pics. In the Folders pane on the left, right-click the missing folder and select Find Missing Folder.
If you moved individual files rather than entire folders, then to get a list of the file paths of all the missing files, first do Library > Find All Missing Photos. Then use the ListView plugin to get a list of the photos' file paths into a text file.

How to open a file and display the complete file path?

In my script, I want to create a dialog that prompts the user to define a few variables for the script. One of those variables is the path to a template file. I want it to work the same way that an upload form works. You click the browse button, the dialog appears so that you can browse for the file and then when you click OK or Open, the full path of the file is displayed in the text box next to it. How do I do this with JavaScript? I got this far and it seems to be working, but the wrong text is being displayed in the text box. Plus: How do I properly restrict the file types to PSD. The code doesn't seem to work, despite the fact that there are no errors reported. Initially the Text box is blank, but After I browse for the file, the text box says: "File". Here is the problem area:
defineVars.STPnl.STBrowse.onClick = function browseST() {
var stbFile = File.openDialog("Select the Single Mugshot Key Template File", "File Types: *.psd, *.PSD");
defineVars.STPnl.STPath.text = stbFile;
Thank you to whoever assists me! :)

Change this:
defineVars.STPnl.STPath.text = stbFile;
To this:
defineVars.STPnl.STPath.text = stbFile.fullName;
The reason is that stbFile is a File object, you need to access its properties in order to get the full path.

Complete file path

I am trying to get a file to open, but it doesn't pass the complete path to the file. Does any one know how to get the complete path? I am using Windows 2000.
else if (evt.getSource() == openButton)
     {int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(this);
              if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
              String file = fc.getSelectedFile().getName();
              nameField.setText(file);}}
} // actionPerformed()
Thanks for your help

"fc.getSelectedFile()" returns you a File object (as you can see if you look in the API documentation for JFileChooser). For a File, its API documentation tells you about the getCanonicalPath() method in rather abstract terms, but if you squint carefully you'll see it's the answer to your question. Thus, you need to write
String file = fc.getSelectedFile().getCanonicalPath();The API docs are your best friend, you'll be well advised to browse them a lot as you learn Java.

Filename from complete file path

Hi,
   can anybody let me know the method to get the filename from the complete filepath( this path includes both directory as well as filename)
regards.
venkat.

Hi,
Check the below code:
data : ig_path type standard table of tp_path,
       wg_path type tp_path.
data : g_lines     type i          ,
       g_filename type string     .
parameter : p_input type rlgrap-filename.
split p_input at '\' into table ig_path.
describe table ig_path lines g_lines.
read table ig_path index g_lines into wg_path.
g_filename = wg_path-val.
write : g_filename.

Complete file path selection

hello,
when we use the GET_FILE_NAME builtin. the selected file name is only returned but what in case i also want the path alongwith the file name to be returned..?
for eg. when x.xls is seleceted. i want in something like "c:\x\y\x.xls" to be stored.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
as to my understanding this is not an option. The GET_FILE_NAME built-in syntax is
Get_File_Name('directory_name','file_name','file_filter','message',
'dialog_type', 'select-file')
which means that the directory path is passed with the call. Note that GET_FILE_NAME built-in doesn't work in Forms 9i and 10g because they are web based. For these releases the WebUtil library should be used.

Photoshop Cannot Open Recently Saved 1GB File

I created a file today for a tradeshow display. The image saved and is approx 1.23GB.
I attempted to reopen the file and received an error message that the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop.
I'm running a Mac Pro with plenty of RAM etc.
Any thoughts on how to recover the layered file OR prevent this in the future?

You're not saving across a network, are you?
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

File Path in Bridge Contact Sheet?

Does anyone know how to add the complete file path to the caption in Bridge/InDesign contact sheets? I'm using Bridge & InDesign CS3 for Windows. I know I can get all the files in subfolders by using the flattened view in Bridge to make my contact sheet, but I still need to know each image's location once it's on the contact sheet. It seems like this should be pretty a pretty basic task. Any help?

Hi DeNoveau,
I was struggling with this same issue. I found a solution that is somewhat helpful. Not ideal but better than nothing.
1. Create the InDesign contact sheet as you normally would.
2. Choose Window > Automation > Scripts
3. In the Javascript folder, find LabelGraphics.jsx
4. In the panel that comes up, choose File Path
That should do it. As I said, not ideal but better than nothing.

Pg Number, File path and date automatically printed?

Is there a way to automatically print the page number, complete file path and date at bottom of each page (set to landscape)?
Thanks!

Thanks Carlos,
It looks like the work72a would work if we were using macs, but we're not...
And there is NO WAY my boss will pay $999 for the other one, even if it did work.
So, now I'm open to other suggestions. We have hundreds of clients that we do work for, and our jobs are organized in folders for each client. A lot of clients with the same name but different locations (ie., Fox Meadow OH, Fox Meadow TX), and each has a different folder. The files are named by dept and year (ie., 2012 Glass, 2012 Art). We often access old files (which, there are thousands of, because they have been organized this way for years.) We need to have the client folder on the page along with the file name (hence the file path).
The script that Carlos created is great, but there are too many steps. Open the script, change location and select info to be displayed (3 steps), close script. There are days we access 50 jobs and the script just added 5 plus steps to each job.
Is there a way to use a hot key run a script that will place the info when and where we need it and auto close the script? Or is there a way to display the full path (in the Illustrator tab?) where we can see which folder the file is in and we will manually type the folder? Or does anyone have another suggestion?
