Overriding link auto update?

Hi.
A friend asked me to edit something in an indesign-file. He sent me the file but no images and all links where broken. No problem I was just editing som text. I did this and returned the file (I know it is not the way to work with indesign). He checked it and was satisfied and sent it to print. But there was a problem with one of the images. Originaly he had an image on a different harddrive and I happend to have an image with the same file-name in my temporary folder and this image was treated as not broken but only updated. I did not notice this and I had not changed anything other than text so why should this be saved? There should not have been a problem when he got the file back because he should see that there was a broken link or Indesign should update this on its own. Well he just happend to have a different file with the same name in his folder and Indesign just picked this file instead, it reported it as an updated link but he just accepted this and the end result is a missprint.
I know that this scenario is a bit stupid but I was wondering if it is possible to open a file and force it to only save what I truly change and ignore broken links?
I use CS5.
Thanks

Go to the File Handling section of your ID preferences and uncheck Find Missing Links and Check Links Before Opeing Document.
Once you've done this, though, you're on your own to verify the links in the Links panel manually from then on for ALL files you open.

  • How does one turn off link auto-update?

    When we have an ID file open in CS6 and make a Photoshop edit, the link seems to auto-update. We don't like this as we'd rather 'watch' the update so if comes in as expected, etc.. Can one turn off link auto-update? Thanks!

    Are you making the edit by selecting the graphic frame and then choosing Edit Original? This will always auto-update.
    If that's not it, you might try clicking Preferences > General > Reset All Warning Dialogs

  • How do I disable linked smart-object auto-update/refresh?

    Working in the CC3D features, I am constantly making changes to my bump map. Every time I step-backwards, or make a significant change to the bump texture (smart object?), CC auto-saves the layer. This specific file is a very very large document (3 gigs in the bump texture layer alone), and the 3D layer has lots of lights and is very complex. This auto-refresh/update really bogs down the time that it would take me to make my changes. I have a very fast machine (I know it's fast, I dont need to list my specs), and I have all shadows disabled.
    How do I disable linked smart-object auto-update/refresh?

    If you do not like a feature like smart objects there is nothing forcing you to use it. Use some other features to do what you want. Please don't ask Adobe to introduce bug into smart object support.
    You could work on your bump maps textures in external files. When your done some time in the future you could edit your project with the smart object layer and use replace smart object. Only then will all smart filters be applied to the smart layer with the replaced smart object.
    Or if by CC Auto save Layer you referring to CC Generate feature you can disable that feature.
    I have no idea what your referring to when you write "CC auto-saves the layer" being a feature. I know CC Generate will write layers out as web files but that more a Web feature then a 3d feature.  Where do you see your layer being saved?

  • Linking word documents and auto-updating TOCs?

    Hi, all!
    I know InDesign a bit, but am about to embark on a project that I could use some help on. Im compiling all the different writing Ive done in the past four years into a little ebook. There are about 50 different essays/articles, each under four categories in the table of contents. Many need editing, and the ebook will require lots of moving things around and editing.
    So, is it possible to link Word documents like as you can do with images? I would like to have InDesign link to all the different word documents that comprise different essays, etc, so I can edit individual essays from Word and have them auto-update within InDesign. Also, is there a similar thing I can do with the table of contents, where it will automatically update the page number of a given entry when I rearrange it? These two things would save me much time!
    Thank you!
    Alec

    As much as you think you want to auto-update the Word documents, you don't.
    Yes, there is a way to link those Word files, but you will lose all formatting applied in ID each time you do update the linked files.
    Why don't you just make those changes in InDesign?
    Next, yes, you can create a TOC that will update page numbers automatically when the document(s) change.
    That is no problem.

  • CS4 InDesign Auto update Links

    I seem to be having a problem with CS4. When I click the edit original button the image is brought up, change done, Indesign updates. The problem is when I switch back to the image with out clicking edit original and come back to InDesign. It no longer updates with out me clicking update. Is there a prefrence I'm missing or is this something new where it no longer updates automaticlly. Do I just need to reinstall?

    I think that it's safe to call a configuration conflict a 'bug'. It might not be a bug from within InDesign, but it's a bug. A programming error, if you will, or an oversight.
    At any rate, in my case, the issue is with the image management plug-in we use. It's a conflict or configuration issue - or bug - with the add-on. If I leave it off, I can use Edit Original all day. If I turn it on, Edit Original does not auto-update after I close that first file. So for me, it's a matter of whether I want the ease of auto-updating after Edit Original, or quicker access to our image database. A bug caused by the one thing means I can't have both.
    I don't think anyone was confused about how Edit Original is supposed to work. It just wasn't working right for HG. If I had to guess, I would say that HG had some sort of issue with his/her system or software setup that was screwing up the auto-update in CS4, and CS3/CS5 circumvent whatever bug caused that problem in the first place. Which means that the functionality was not removed from CS4, it was simply a bug. Or issue. Or conflict. Or configuration.

  • Air 2.0 Auto update Feature Experts help me on this issue  please.......

    Hi ,
          Is it possible to Auto update  a air application using air 2.0 beta . If so can any one post me the  related link.
    I recently updated my flex builder 3  to 3.2 and along with Air 2.0. One of my old project which has a auto  update feature seems to be not working
    I get this error message
    "  VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of callInContext in  _ApplicationUpdaterDialogs_mx_managers_SystemManager." What should i do  to over come this problem please help me .
    Regards,
    Rahul.

    Hi Rahul,
    I understand that you're using Flex 3.x SDK with AIR 2 beta 2 SDK overlay.
    Make sure you're using (linking in your project) the Flex3 compatible UI lib from AIR 2 beta 2 SDK: that's the one under "frameworks\libs\air\flex3\applicationupdater_ui3.swc".
    The default UI lib available with AIR 2 beta2 SDK under  "frameworks\libs\air\applicationupdater_ui.swc" is compatible with Flex4.
    Hope this helps,
    Best regards,
    Dragos Georgita | AIR Engineering

  • How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

    The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
    Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
    Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
    HELP!

    Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
    Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
    I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

  • How to disable yum auto-update in OL6

    Hello,
    What is the correct procedure to disable yum auto-updates?
    The "yum-updatesd" daemon that existed in OL 5 does no longer exist in OL 6.
    I found out that the "PackageKit Update Applet" seems to be responsible for running the auto-update. It can be enabled or disabled in the new Preferences/Startup Applications control panel. There is also the "gpk-prefs" control panel to set the update interval to "never". However, both control panels work on a per-user/login basis and cannot be used to disable yum auto-update system-wide.
    Finally I found /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf, which has a DefaultBackend parameter, but I don't know what I should put there.
    Is there here a way, to disable the yum auto-update system-wide without uninstalling PackageKit?
    I already checked the documentation at http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-PackageKit.html but it was not helpful.
    Thanks!

    The actuall problem I'm trying to fix is the following error:
    <pre>
    Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
    The other application is: PackageKit
    Memory : 45 M RSS (357 MB VSZ)
    Started: Tue Jul 10 09:27:04 2012 - 04:09 ago
    State : Sleeping, pid: 2317
    </pre>
    The above error can happen if you have an active Gnome session and e.g. connect as root using ssh session and try to use yum.
    I may have found a way now to disable the automatic system updates, however, I don't know if this is the proper solution since I cannot find any information about it.
    I modified */etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf* and changed:
    <pre>
    DefaultBackend=yum -> DefaultBackend=nobackend
    </pre>
    It requires a re-login of your Gnome X session to take affect.
    Then Administration/Software update does no longer scan for updates, and apparently no longer lock yum at the system level. At least the problem seems to be fixed globally that way.
    I will mark this question as answered, but any ideas are still welcome.
    Thanks!
    Btw, here is a link to previous older thread to disable it on a per-user basis:

  • Auto-update of figure/images in Pages

    Dear all,
    I'm just wondering whether Pages has a feature allowing it to auto-update images you import into it, i.e., if I insert an image in pages and then decide I need to edit it some-more in Photoshop, can you make it update by itself in Pages? I know this feature is available in Microsoft Word for mac.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Neil

    Neil,
    Yet again, Pages is no clone of Word. Pages' graphics are embedded, not linked, and that might be why there's no auto-update. I can see where auto update would be nice if many documents use the same graphic and you want it updated in all of them.
    Whatever your reasons, it wouldn't hurt to Provide Feedback to Apple from the Pages menu.

  • My auto updates are not working. I cannot find where to download Camera Raw 8.1 for Photoshop CS6.

    My auto updates are not working! I cannot find where to download Camera Raw 8.1 for Photoshop CS6 (Windows 8 64 bit). My Camera Raw is now at 7.1. I had the online Adobe folks tell me to just download all updates manually. That's great, yet I cannot find camera raw 8.1 to download...
    Please help.
    Thanks, Janet

    there's a direct download link on this page: https://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2013/06/camera-raw-8-1-and-dng-converter-8-1-now- available.html

  • HP Auto Update

    My HDMI video and audio were fine. However, after HP Auto Update prompted me to update with out any cancel button, and it automatic updated by itself, there was no sound from my TV, and also, the display was bigger than my TV. After that I did a system restore, and my HDMI video and audio are working fine again.
    My question is:
    How do I stop HP Auto Update from updating automatically?
    Please advise.

    Hi @bktran 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers and information!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand that an HP update was installed and you lost the audio and the resolution on the display had been changed.
    You did a restore and everything is back to normal.  You would like to know how to stop the update from being installed.
    Here is a link to Change how Windows installs or notifies you about updates  that will allow you to choose by changing the setting.
    Best of Luck!

  • How to disable software auto update from iPad

    I was trying to download my favorite programs and iOS 7, but first I have to stop software auto update, how will I do this?

    The actuall problem I'm trying to fix is the following error:
    <pre>
    Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
    The other application is: PackageKit
    Memory : 45 M RSS (357 MB VSZ)
    Started: Tue Jul 10 09:27:04 2012 - 04:09 ago
    State : Sleeping, pid: 2317
    </pre>
    The above error can happen if you have an active Gnome session and e.g. connect as root using ssh session and try to use yum.
    I may have found a way now to disable the automatic system updates, however, I don't know if this is the proper solution since I cannot find any information about it.
    I modified */etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf* and changed:
    <pre>
    DefaultBackend=yum -> DefaultBackend=nobackend
    </pre>
    It requires a re-login of your Gnome X session to take affect.
    Then Administration/Software update does no longer scan for updates, and apparently no longer lock yum at the system level. At least the problem seems to be fixed globally that way.
    I will mark this question as answered, but any ideas are still welcome.
    Thanks!
    Btw, here is a link to previous older thread to disable it on a per-user basis:

  • How do you make Mozilla listen to users and stop FFFFirefox Auto Updating despite being set to NOT auto update?

    I am spitting nails
    After all the STUPID problems outlined here
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999831?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
    I set Firefox to stop auto updating,
    Then the other day I installed a new user on my laptop, when they loaded Firefox it auto updated MY version of Firefox.
    Has NOTHING been learnt?
    STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID
    So I have 2 questions
    How do you make Mozilla listen to users?
    and how do prevent what happened to me happening again?

    Not a millionth, you have only provided 150 answers and I doubt they were all this issue.
    If you don't like it, don't use it.
    If a business took this attitude they would soon be out of business
    Updates help KEEP YOU SAFE
    Sometimes, but in my experience FFirefox updates can really screw up your system, lose you data, mess up your user interface. I have run IT for one of the biggest intranets on the planet and we never allowed even Mictosoft updates until we did User Acceptance Testing and understood the impact of the upgrade. I am a grown up not a child, I have system where I test updates for performance, security and impact, I WILL DECIDE when I want to install it. If Mozilla wants to provide real security updates I would take them but if you look at the link in my OP you will see it said an update was security and it completely messed up.
    Updates add tons of great new features
    Actually with FFirefox in my experience they take more away than they add, things I did not ask them to take, they do not look at my config and leave my settings as they were and then tell me about new options, no they completely screw my productivity as it takes days to figure out how to undo the kwap they have added. Copying the AWFUL Chrome interface is not an improvement, Google has one of the worst UI's on the planet accross all their products.
    Firefox is designed to be customized PER USER, NOT CROSS-SYSTEM
    There are some things that benefit from being per user and some that are per machine, windows has group policies per machine and per user. My OP is telling Mozilla that this is another area where they have "designed" badly, I tell them this so that they improve it and in the vain hope that there is some config setting that will stop this nonsense.
    So SuperSluether you have not really helped, all you seem to say is FO if you do not like it. Good job you do not run a business. With that attitude probably best you do not contribute.
