Pausing at dialog boxes

Just doing a simple tutorial on Content Aware Fill, a couple of things came to mind
One step was recorded as "Choose Edit > Fill to Fill the current" - the second "Fill" should be lower case.
More importantly, I would normally want to accompany an instruction to "Select Content Aware from the drop-down menu for Fill Contents" with a screenshot of the Edit>Fill dialog box. I don't think that can be done now, but could it be added to the recording process?

Labview pauses when dialog box displayed

When I display a dialog box in LabView, the program waits for the user to click ok. I would like for the program to not wait but keep running after it displays the box. How can I do this and how can I customize the dialog box?

You drop an Invoke Node from the Application palette onto the block diagram, wire up a reference to the subVI, right click the invoke node and select the method. There's an example here that shows how an invoke node is used to make a front panel visible. There are other examples on the developer zone and several have been posted to this forum. You question seems to pop up once week or so and a little searching of the forum will give you a lot of examples.

When downloading v3.6.6 the dialog box shows 'download paused'

I normally update FF when prompted, and did so when v3.6.6 was released. Howvere, the dialog box appeared to function properly until it said 'download paused', and now won't go away or let me start again. How do I cancel this download to try again?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I was downloading a routine update

ok thats fucked up.

I tried to manually update, it failed no apparent reason, i followed the directions to the T.
But upon starting firefox again i was able to use the firefox updater to get to 3.6.8... no longer hung donwloading 3.6.7...go figure.

File name display in delete dialog box

In the course of working with photos in Lightroom, I've noticed a small user interface issue that can lead to confusion while deleting photos.
In Explorer, a highlighted file is directly tied to any action selected via right click. For example, if I have file1 selected and I right click on file2, the focus changes to file2 and it is highlighted.
In Lightroom, the highlight does not follow when an image is selected via right click. If I'm viewing photo1 and it is highlighted, right clicking on photo2 only changes the filename display above the filmstrip.
Normally, this change in filename display would be sufficient visual feedback to be comfortable while deleting a file. However, if Lightroom is in the process of "Loading..." an image, there is sometimes a delay in the filename display update and more than once, I've had to pause to make sure I'm deleting the proper image.
I've noticed this most frequently when switching back from Photoshop. If I've opened a Lightroom image in Photoshop (as a PSD) but decided not to move forward with the work, I'll switch back to Lightroom to delete the newly-created PSD. During this process, I'll hit a "Loading..." delay and and the filename display above the filmstrip will lag as I try to right click and delete what I think is the PSD.
A simple solution, and one that I'd suspect users would appreciate given the value of RAW images, would be to display the name of the file(s) being deleted in the confirmation dialog box. If it's an important enough decision to warrant a multi-option dialog box, I think there's obvious value in confirming what is being deleted.
Another item that came to mind -- It would be great if there was a preference setting that locked the user from deleting RAW images. That way, I'd never have to worry about selecting a RAW instead of a PSD and it would address some of the anxiety that comes with placing master images so close to PSDs from later in the workflow.

Hi
You can not use File-Upload UI element inside confirmation dialog ,because there is no provision to add any UI ,except Button.
Please avoid my previous reply .

How do I get a Timer to update in a user dialog box

I am trying to display timer that would continuously update on a user dialog box (It would start when a button was clicked). What would be the best way to do this?
Drew

Hi Drew,
I'm sorry, I didn't test that idea. Now that I have, I see that the textbox only updates after the ButtonClick callback as completed, so instead of seeing the textbox count up from 1 to 10 in my code, I only see it show 10 after 10 seconds have passed. Before that it does look like DIAdem is hung, but it wasn't in my case.
OK, so that means you need to pop up a new progress dialog. You could create a second dialog defined in that same *.SUD file or create a new *.SUD file with a progress indicator on it, or you could use DIAdem's native non-modal dialog with MsgBoxDisp(). I did test this code
Sub Button1_EventClick(ByRef This) 'Created Event Handler
Dim i, iMax, Msg
iMax = 10
FOR i = 1 TO iMax
Call Pause(1)
Msg = "Second " & i & " of " & iMax & " ..."
Call MsgBoxDisp(Msg, "MB_NOBUTTON", "MsgTypeNote", 0, 0, 1)
NEXT ' i
Call MsgBoxCancel
End Sub

Any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes?

Is there any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes, instead of just lists of items names?
I know you can preview one at a time, but I'd love to see all my artwork as picture icons, just as you can in a finder window.
Windows does this, but not OSX that I know of. Is there a third party app that enables you to see icon view in the Open and Close Dialogs?

Thank you Steve Jobs. I guess that feature has been added in Leopard. Now there really is nothing that I'll miss from Windoze.

Open dialog box....

Hi Everyone,
I have designed a form in which user has to input the path where he wants to save his report.
Like c:\test.PDF
what i want to do is that when user click a button againts this field a dialog box should appear in which he can select the location, like in Notepad File > Open or File Save.
and after selecting the path and closing the box the path should be display in the text field which i have provid to my user. Is it possible to attach the default file extension automatically in the text box?
like if user have written c:\test it should be automatically converted into c:\test.PDF? Any Idea?
How is this posible in Developer 6i. I will be very thankful if someone can help me solving this problem.
Regards,
Imran

use GET_FILE_NAME - it's documented in the help - client server only

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

When I try to open photoshop I get a "help adobe improve it's produts" dialog box every time and it freezes

When I try to open photoshop I get a "help adobe improve it's produts" dialog box. No matter what I do, I get this box when I try to open a file in photosop never opens although it appears to be

Hi Steadyalberta,
Something might be preventing Photoshop from being able to save your selection on the dialog window properly. You might try right clicking and choose Run as Administrator on the Photoshop icon when launching (Windows) or test if the behavior persists when using a newly created admin user account.
Hope that helps,

Why doesn't firefox close out when I'm done with it and close it; when next I try to open firefox again I get a dialog box telling me firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer? I'm tired of doing that one of more times a day.

1. This happens at least once a day, and sometimes multiple times. Today it's happened twice, thus far. My home page is FoxNews.com and if I leave it up overnight or for longer periods during the day firefox doesn't allow the refresh of the home page it just goes to yahoo 404--error can't find the webpage. Then when I enter FoxNews.com it adds a /error to the url and doesn't allow me to go to MY homepage. So I close firefox and then if I try to reopen it and then I get the dialog box saying firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer. Very aggravating. 2. Also the Adobe flash drive update always fails. 3. Webpages get in loops and fail to load to the point I have to stop and refresh or close out and reopen.

One situation in which Command+w or Ctrl+w might not work is if the "focus" is in a plugin such as the Flash player used on Youtube after you interact with the player controls. Firefox will continue to send the keyboard input to the plugin until you move the focus back to the page. Does that account for any of the problem?

File Format options not appearing in the Save As dialog box - InDesign CC

So i was working with a legacy file (an .eps from illustrator4) that i placed into InDesign CC, and when i went to export as a jpg, the option to choose a different file format from the bottom of the dialog box was gone. Did i hit some crazy shortcut to remove the options, or is this a bug that occurs when working with certain legacy files? I've restarted InDesign, rebooted my laptop, deleted my Adobe preferences, reset my adobe warning dialogs, and I still cant export or save as any other file format because the option doesnt appear. And it doesnt matter if i create a new file or open an existing one. Please help. See the pic below. No option for file format on the bottom of the dialog box.

Thank you very much!
Reinstalling worked, but i'd still kinda like to know what caused this problem & if this will continue to happen. To me, reinstalling is pretty much like having to reboot anytime you go to IT -- they dont know what the problem is, they just know how to fix/stop it.

Copy/paste in save as dialog box

I am using your pdf plugin with Safari but when I click the save icon I cannot paste text into the file name box. I have to manually type it in. Can I copy & paste in the save dialog box?

The plugin works for me I just need copy/paste ability when saving the file.

How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
A little background on the forms I want to use: My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example. I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server. We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box. The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
One little note: We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this! :-)

You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
try {
     var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
     try {
          myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
     catch(e) {
          console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
catch(e) {
console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
Good Luck!

'Save as Type' box in 'Save As' dialog box

I recently downloaded 'Rocket PDF' and now if I try to save any PDF. document, the only choices in the 'save as type' box are 'Rocket PDF' or 'All files'. No more 'Adobe Reader PDF. appears as a choice. I uninstalled 'Rocket PDF' and in the 'Default changes' I put 'Adobe Reader as the default to open 'PDF.'. Still, the only choices on the 'save as type ' are 'Rocket PDF' or 'All files'! How do I get Adobe Reader PDF' back as a choice in the 'save as type' box and delete 'Rocket PDF' as a choice?

Sorry I wasn't clear! When I try to save a 'PDF' file the "save as" dialog box opens. At the bottom the 'file name'is listed and below that it says, "save as type". You then pick what file type you want, like Adobe Reader for PDF. It used to say Adobe Reader as one of the choices but when I downloaded "Rocket PDF" it only says "Rocket PDF or "all files" as the only choices to save the document, no more Adobe Reader as a choice. I have deleted Rocket PDF and under 'default programs (Start button) I have set the "Pdf. files to open with Adobe Reader. Rocket PDF is still listed or' all files', nothing else! How can I get Adobe Reader as a choice back in the 'save as type' box?
Thanks for any help.
