Pages - Eliminate save prompt when closing file with no changes made

Hey everyone -
This isn't really a question thread, but rather a solution I built to eliminate one of Page's annoyances.
This problem has been encountered before, but the question isn't truly ever answered. I would reply to those (they're the top results in Google), but because they are archived I can't change them at all.
The Problem:
Even after disabling the .pages prompt, it still prompts to save files just before I close them. The exact message is: Do you want to save the changes made to the document "some_document"?
Details:
System Version: OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
Kernel Version: Darwin 13.0.0
Pages Version: 5.0.1
The Solution:
Create a workflow.
Open Automator, select New Document.
Select Service, then click Choose.
Set Service Receives to "no input" and change the "in" drop down list to "Pages.app".
Next, search for Quit Application, put it in there.
Set this to Pages.app, and ensure the box "Ask to save changes" is unchecked.
Save it. I believe there is a default location, so don't specify a path. Give it a name. Quit Automator.
Assign a keyboard shortcut to the workflow.
Open System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
Go to Services on the left hand panel.
Scroll to the bottom.
Under General, you should see the workflow you created. Mine was called "Quit Pages".
Click it, then select the Add Shortcut button.
Give it a rarely used shortcut. I chose ⌘⇧X, but you're welcome to do whatever you like.
Quit System Preferences.
At this point, it should work. Open up Pages, open a new document, then do the shortcut. It should exit without any issue. However, I did not like having to learn a new shortcut just to pull this off. So I did this:
Use BetterTouchTool to configure it properly.
Download BetterTouchTool and install it.
Open it up.
Go to the Basic Settings tab, and ensure the "Launch BetterTouchTool on startup" is checked.
Click the Gestures tab.
Select Keyboard in the horizontal bar.
On the left hand panel, near the words "App Specific", click the plus symbol. This should allow you to add an application.
Select Pages.
Click the Pages application in the left hand panel (if it is not already).
At the bottom of the main panel, click "Add new shortcut".
Keyboard shortcut: ⌘Q
Trigger other keyboard shortcut: ⌘⇧X (or whatever you used in System Preferences).
Quit the application.
Open it back up. It should now be running in your Menubar.
Now, if you open a .docx document with Pages, then hit ⌘Q, it should exit without any fuss. HOORAH!
Granted, this does have a few tradeoffs. If you go to Pages > Quit, it will still prompt you. Also if you want to close the current window (⌘W), it will still prompt you.

You get this behavior if the file which you opened is not a Pages '09 one.
If it is a Pages '08 one, it must be entirely transcoded so it's a modified document and given that, the program must ask you to save it.
If you save it as a Pages '09 document, you will no longer be asked to save (in these conditions).

Disable save prompt when closing form

Hello,
I am looking for a scripting command to stop the prompt to save a form. I am sending the form via a submit button, so a locally saved copy is unnecessary since the form will be attached to a sent email.
Does anyone know how to stop the prompt to save the form once it is completed?
Thanks in advance for any insight!

Go to System Preferences > General & check "Ask to keep changes when closing documents."

Extracting, or deleting pages to save in a seperate file

When I go to documents menu I no longer have an option to extract or delete pages to save to a seperate file. This changed when I updated my adobe to adobe reader 8.0. I am trying to figure it out but I am having no luck at all. How do I get the menu under documents to give me the options again to delete or extract pages?
Christy

You cannot extract, delete or add pages with the free Reader. If you could do it before, you must have been using some version of Acrobat. And there is no Adobe product called Adobe.

Incopy CS4 (mac) - when closing file, changes are not saved

I have a CS4 Indesign document with assignments saved. When the editor works on the file, she is able to save as she goes, however gets a dialogue box about how we are trying to save over an older file with the options 'submit changes, discard changes and I think one other option'.
When 'submit changes' is clicked we re-open the file and find that the changes have not been saved.
We don't understand why we would receive that message since we are hitting save as changes are done while working on the file.
The odd thing is that it doesn't happen on all files. And the dialogue box doesn't always show up.
One thing to note is that we recently changed from a CS2 workflow that we've been using successfully for a few years. Ie. without that particular dialogue box showing up or any save issues.
thanks all!

Lr & Photoshop both have the potential to use tiny (xmp) files for storing changes (and never save any other files), and both can save/export big honkin' tiffs, or like-sized jpegs...
If you save files in Photoshop with layers and such stuff, the files can get pretty big.
So, to answer your question: "It depends..." - which files, how saved/exported...
Try some stuff and inspect the file sizes!

When a file with extension .htm as a product from Epilex is opened, there was a notify a screen, "This epiLearn is not supported on Netscape browsers. epiLearn supports Internet Explorer 5.5 or above. Please launch it in Internet Explorer"

My company has decided to use Epiplex software.
But when a file with extension .htm as a product from Epilex is opened, there was a notify a screen,
"This epiLearn is not supported on Netscape browsers. epiLearn supports Internet Explorer 5.5 or above. Please launch it in Internet Explorer".
I prefer to use Mozilla than Internet Explorer. Would u please handle Mozilla browser along this problem to be available in this matter?

This might be simple but it works well for me.
1.
Right click on the tool bar in IE8 and uncheck adobe PDF to disable. Click yes when it ask if you are sure.
2.
Open Adobe
READER located in the start menu.
3.
Click on Edit and then on Preferences.
4.
Select the "General" category.
5.
Click on "Select default PDF handler"
6.
Adobe Reader should be already selected. Change it to reader if it is not.
7.
Click on "Apply" and except changes.
8.
Restart the computer and you are done.
Now you can open and save PDF's from IE8. Once you save it, you can right click and "open with" Acrobat if you choose.
Be careful to not make Acrobat the default or you have to start over.
You can still create PDF's from docs, scans, and picture like before. You might think this is a work around but it really isn't.
Some forms that are available on the internet can't be opened by Acrobat for security reasons.
Good luck! P.S. I am not an IT tech but I play one on TV.

How to eliminate extra white when hovering over with a back ground color?

I just finished my menu and I notice that the hovering color is not hiding all the white. Does someone know how to eliminate extra white when hovering over with a back ground color?

Thanks!

You have heights on the ul, li as 36px and a line-height of the text of 35px so they are not matching up. Personally speaking I would normally recommend using padding on the links to create the height and not set the height on the ul or li elements.

Dreamweaver very slow when opening files with external links

Is there any way to fix Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows 7, 64bit) when opening files with external references?
For example, I have a very simple CSS file, and toward the top the file has a line that says:
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:500,700");
This causes the file to take around 20 seconds to open in DW. If I comment out the line or remove it, the file opens almost instantly. This behaviour is also present in files that contain an SSI.
DW often crashes before being able to open the file and I need to restart the app.
Can I disable DW from attempting to load the references?? It's obviously what is causing the issue IMO and would love to make DW workable again!

"Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away

Do you want to automatically save the document, or do you want to skip the save altogether?

Firfox 4 - can we not save TABS when closing?? I just lost everything!

I installed Firefox 4, had several TABs open before the upgrade. When Firefox 4 opened I had all the TABs. When I wanted to close Firefox there was no SAVE button, so I lost everything.
Did a system restore and now when I click the Firefox icon nothing happens...cannot open Firefox at all.
Thanks Mozilla....

One of the changes in Firefox 4: '''''by default''''' Firefox 4 does not display the warning message when closing multiple tabs, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences. ''Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all '''uncompensated volunteers''' here to help other users.

#Type '''''about:config''''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
#Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
#The preferences page/list will open
#Filter = '''''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''''
#If its value is set to false, double-click on it (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
#Repeat steps 4 and 5 for these following 3 preferences also:

How to save dynamically generated PDF files with proper file name?

Hi,
I need to save the pdf file with default name which generated by
dinamically.
this is the code i am trying to save by default
protected void processRequest (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
OutputStream bos = response.getOutputStream ();
// this returns pdf byte array
byte ios[] = callReport ( reportId_param , fullyQualifiedReportClassName , paramHashMap ) ;
response.setContentType ("application/pdf");
// reportId_param and reportName_param supplied from some where
String docName = reportId_param + "_" + reportName_param ;
if( fromDate_req != null && toDate_req != null )
                String dateStr = fromDate_req + "_to_" + toDate_req ;
                dateStr = dateStr.replaceAll ( "/" , "_" ) ;
                docName = docName + "_" + dateStr ;
// here docName would be like "RP_COM_COLL_01_Message_Details_03_09_2008_to_03_09_2008"
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=" + docName ) ;
bos.write (ios);
bos.flush ();
}the above code produces pdf in browser when calling this URL
http://localhost:8080/DAD01TN0801027/RWReportServlet
In browser we can save this PDF by using two ways
1. File -> Save As
2. By using Save Icon within the PDF toolBar
both the actions uses the file name "RWReportServlet" as default instead of using docName
Can any one help me please
Regards
Sakthivel.

That said, your code is not very efficient. You're storing the complete PDF file in memory. What if the PDF file is fairly large? And what if multiple users download multiple large PDF files simultaneously? Your server would run out of memory. Rather use InputStream instead of a raw byte[]. And preferably buffer it.
You should also be setting the content-length header by the way.

Colours wrong when RAW file with Adobe RGB profile printed from iPhoto '08

I've taken some photos on my Nikon D300 with the colourspace set to Adobe RGB. These import and display fine in iPhoto '08 but when printed it looks like the printer (Epson R2400 with the Epson 6.12 driver) is using the sRGB colourspace. The only option I can find relating to colour, is the Color matching dialogue which gives the option of Colorsync or Epson Color Controls. I've tried both with the same results. Preview shows the profile of the .nef file to be Adobe RGB (1998).
Has anyone any ideas of what I need to change?

AndyMn:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Most inkjet printers are geared for the sRGB profile. The Adobe profile is used by professional printers. Apple's services also recommend the sRGB profile. You need to reassign the sRGB or sRGBIEC1966-2.1 profile. I'm not sure about the raw file but you can use the ColorSync Utility to assign that profile to the file.
I have an Applescript that will apply the profile to files or folder of files dropped on it. I'm not sure if it will work on RAW files but it does on jpgs and tiffs. You can download it from Toad's Cellar. It takes about 6 seconds per file but does not apply any additional jpeg compression to jpg files.
Assigning the profile is considered better than the Applescript way but can only be done one at a time. You can test each method and see what gives you the best results.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Mac InDesign CS6 crashes when adding files with links to Windows network into book

Our Mac network is unstable, so I tested linking InDesign CS6 files (on my Mac's hard drive) to .jpg files on our company's very stable Windows network rather to the same .jpg files on our Mac network. I tested with 4 simple, small InDesign files. When these 4 files were linked to images on a storage drive on our Mac network, I could drag all 4 files into a book and export the book to PDF. But when linked to the same images on the Windows network, while each file would open fine with no errors, and while I could generate a PDF from each individual file, the moment I dragged the 4 files into a book, InDesign crashed, generating pages of information in the crash report form.
I have no problem making 500 page manuals on my hard drive, comprised of about 50 InDesign files, with links to THOUSANDS of image files on a storage drive on our Mac network. Is there some trick to making a book with files linked to images on a Windows network? If there is no simple answer, who could I call to set us up so this will work?
I'm using InDesign CS6 for Mac, totally updated, version 8.0.1.
Thank you so much!!!

It seems, this is all you need to do... your message isn't clear as to whether you've fixed your issue or not.
[Extract from link above]...
"Add the network share(s) to your Favorites in Bridge and drag assets into your layouts from Bridge or Mini-Bridge. The paths stored in the InDesign links will be full network paths, and both sets of machines should have no problem finding them. This is the more usual InDesign workflow."
