Porting CS3 to CS4 : Links problem

I've read the "porting-guide.pdf" and I'm a bit confused in their "recipe" to convert the code from CS3 to CS4, dealing with the links. Below...is my current PC CS3 code, which basically takes the input of a filename and then proceeds to check ALL the LINKs on the page to see if the item is actually ON the page.  Can someone review this...and convert this function so that it will work in CS4.<br /><br />-Thanks...Mark<br /><br />int IsItemOnPage(char *full_filename)<br />{<br />  int links=0;<br />  int i;<br />  int linkcount;<br />  char *cptr;<br />  char parent_da[512];<br />  int max;<br />  int on_page=0;<br />  char file_on_page[512];<br /><br />  IDocument* document = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();<br />  // 07/02/07 (CMC) moved this code within if(document != nil) block<br />  /*IDataBase* database = ::GetDataBase(document);<br />  ASSERT(database);<br />  if(!database)<br />   {<br />      //1-13-06<br />      //return kFailure;<br />     return(on_page);<br />   }*/<br /><br />  //11-18-05<br />  if(document != nil)<br />  {<br />     // 07/02/07 (CMC) moved this code within if(document != nil) block<br />     IDataBase* database = ::GetDataBase(document);<br />     ASSERT(database);<br />     if(!database)<br />     {<br />          //1-13-06<br />          //return kFailure;<br />          return(on_page);<br />     }<br />     PMString doc_name;<br />     document->GetName(doc_name);<br />     if(doc_name.IsEmpty()==FALSE)<br />     {<br />     max=sizeof(parent_da);<br />     cptr=&parent_da[0];<br />     doc_name.GetCString(cptr,max);<br />     }<br />  }<br />  else<br />  {<br />    return(0);//do nothing.<br />  }<br />  <br />  InterfacePtr<ILinksManager> linksmanager(document, IID_ILINKSMANAGER);<br />  linkcount = linksmanager->GetLinkCount();<br /><br />  for (i = 0; i < linkcount; i++)<br />  {<br />    UIDRef uidr(linksmanager->GetNthLinkUID(i));<br />    InterfacePtr<IDataLink> iDataLink(uidr,IID_IDATALINK);<br />    if ( iDataLink != NULL )<br />    {<br />      PMString formatName;<br />       //PMString *ppm;<br />      uint32 formatType;<br />      NameInfo ni;<br />      iDataLink->GetNameInfo(&ni,&formatName,&formatType);<br />      PMString* namePtr = ni.GetFilename();<br />      <br />      //3-13-06<br />      PMString* fullStringPtr = iDataLink->GetFullName();<br />      <br />      if( namePtr )<br />      {<br />        //TRACE("linked file name: %s (dirID=%d)\n",namePtr->GrabCString());<br />        if(DEBUG_MODE>0)<br />         {<br />           sprintf(LOG_FILE_MESG,"IsItemOnPage::File(%d)=%s",links,fullStringPtr->GrabCString());<br />           LogToLogFile(LOG_FILE_MESG);<br />         }  <br />        links++;           <br />        cptr=&file_on_page[0];<br />        fullStringPtr->GetCString(cptr,sizeof(file_on_page));<br />          //10-11-07<br />        //if(stricmp(file_on_page,full_filename)==0)<br />          if(Compare_FilePaths(file_on_page,full_filename))<br />          on_page=1;<br /><br />      }<br />    }<br />  }//EOF...for loop..<br /> return(on_page);<br /><br />}

  • "relink" problem in InDesign CS4: links are updated automatically

    Hi folks,
    we use a script to relink our InDesign documents when the links have been moved on the file system.
    Inside the script we just call link.relink(...) but not link.update().
    We experience a different behavior between CS3 and CS4 after the script has run.
    CS3:
    Links that have been modified after moving and before relinking are then shown as modified (with a yellow mark ) in the Links tab.
    CS4:
    The links are all shown as uptodate.
    Seems like the update()-function has been called automatically.
    Is there a option to just relink the links in CS4 but not to update them?
    Kind regards

    Thank you for the help, Robin!
    Restoring everything after relinking would be as risky as the automatic updates. I would need a warning when the VisibleBounds have changed after updating. Maybe with an option to restore them one by one while I'm looking at the image which is being restored.
    Of course this can't be full-automat But there is posibility to define list of rules what could be done automatically in specified conditions.
    List of all linked images could look like this:
    (I'm sorry for old screen)
    Is it only for PC, because it would be a VBscript?
    It will be VisualBasic6 app compiled to exe.
    I can even do it as a "service" - so you can put INDD file in special folder (WatchedFolder) and script can analyze INDD file, make report and then you can decide "off-line" what should be done with "problematic" images.
    I think I can even make it with option to see preview of "problematic" images in report so you can make decision without opening INDD file. Then you can upload report with selected options back to WatchedFolder to finish "conversion".
    Even if you work on Mac - it shouldn't be a problem for you to use this tool - you only need to have one PC connected to your local network. To go further - on the same PC could be installed web server (Apache+PHP+mySQL) and you can controll everything from web browser

  • Link Problem with port 2 in WLC 4402

    Hi,
    I have a problem with port 2 in Wireless Lan Controler 4402. The problem is that the distribution port 2 of the WLC not link with the switch (3750). We receive the WLC and we follow the autostart wizard and we enable LAG. The wizard finish, I restart the system and all works fine. The two distribution ports of WLC, 1 and 2 appears UP and the LAG works correctly. After this we upgrade the firmware of the WLC to the version AIR-WLC4400-k9-6-0-182-0.aes and we restart the system again but at this time port 2 does not link and port 1 link OK. We do not know the reason why port 2 doesn´t link? Could you help me ?
    Thank in advance.

    Does it properly refuse authentication ? Or does the login page stop appearing or something ?
    There was a bug with the webauth dying under heavy load, regardless of number of identical accounts used.
    One good way for you to check would be, when problem occurs, to create a second backup guest user and see if that would start working. If it doesn't, the account is not the problem.
    I'm not aware of any maximum of usage of the same account.

  • I need DW CS3 or CS4 useful links

    Hi everyone,
    I need to use Dreamweaver CS4 and ASP.NET 2.0 and C# and MS SQL 2005 or MS SQL 2008 to build a shopping cart website for my client.
    If you know any links (i.e., how to connect the DW CS4/CS3 to the MS SQL 2005 database) that are useful for DW CS4 or DW CS3 with ASP.NET. Then please let me know.
    Thanks in advance,
    May

    Given that Adobe no longer sells DW CS3 or CS4, I don't think you'll find links to old software except through a 3rd party distributor (buyer beware).
    Look at Microsoft's Expression Web if you're committed to working in ASP.net environment.
    http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/StudioWebPro_Overview.aspx
    I think you're foolish to build a shopping cart from scratch.  Honestly, you don't know how much you don't know until you're neck deep in it.  The server security & PCI (payment card industry) compliance issues alone could kill your business before you get off the ground.  Don't bite off more than you can chew.

  • CS4 Dynamic Link Problem

    Is anybody having trouble keeping the source files linked in After Effects after using dynamic link from Premiere?
    Please refer to this link:
    cwrig, "CS4 Dynamic Link Problem" #1, 26 Oct 2008 1:02 pm
    This is very frustrating.
    Thanks for your time!

    Did some more tests and here is what does and doesn't work for me.
    Losing footage -
    Yes I was having the issue (and the topic is in the premiere forum also)
    Here is what seems to solve it.
    It loses the footage if I use the original folder which has spaces in the name. Not sure if that is the culprit but both methods proved consistent in every test I did.
    it worked when I used a new folder called "Test" at the root of my editing drive.
    Crashing-
    Not sure if other have the issue but when I close AE, PPro will just sit there with an hour glass and show as not responding.
    If I close PPro first and then AE and reopen PPro then all seems to work as it is supposed to.
    This was also consistent in every test I did.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 to CS4 Changes

    Changes in Dreamwever CS3 to CS4
    Creating a text box over a photo.
    I have been using a technique in CS3 learned from
    "totaltraining.com"
    I could take a photo into photoshop and slice it into areas
    where I want to create a text block and use the photoshop save to
    web application to write the html code and create the images. then
    I open the html file in Dreamweaver CS3 and select the sliced block
    image that I want to add text on top of and copy the link
    information, Then Delete the image and add the hight measurement to
    keep the space from shifting then paste the link information into
    the box background in the control pallet at the bottom. Then insert
    text on top of the background image. This gives me the ability to
    use the page properties to add a over all background color or image
    and still have a text box with the photo behind it.
    The problem is that with new Dreamweaver CS4 I can not find
    where to paste the link information. The control pallet has changed
    and I can not find out how to add the image back into the cell as a
    background. I have tried to just place the image into the cell but
    everything shifts.
    I know their is probably a better way to do this I am just
    learning and trying to figure this out so any advice would be
    helpful.
    I would just use Dreamweaver3 but the demo I was working on
    expired and I bought the CS4 package.
    I have a website 80% finished and now I'm stuck.
    Thanks, Curtis

    Things that you 'used to be able to do but cannot in CS4' are
    generally
    things that you should never have done in the first place. A
    big thrust of
    CS4 is to remove things from DW that created invalid or
    non-best practice
    HTML. This method certainly sounds like a good candidate -
    for example:
    > use the photoshop save to web application to write the
    > html code
    This is a very bad idea. Such code is fragile beyond
    expectation. One
    should only use a graphics app to write HTML that is to be
    used for
    prototyping, not for production.
    > Then Delete the image and add the hight measurement to
    > keep the space from shifting
    This is a very bad idea. Placing text into a region that is
    vertically
    constrained is like placing a timebomb in your code. What
    happens with the
    visitor makes the text larger to read more comfortably?
    Blammo....
    > Then insert text on top of the background image.
    Bad idea for the same reason.

    There are now two buttons on the Property inspector: HTML and
    CSS. Click
    the HTML one.
    > I have tried to just place the image into the cell but
    everything shifts.
    Which is why you should never use "wizard" HTML.

    Really? OK - just put DW down and go here -
    http://www.w3schools.com - to
    learn HTML and CSS. When you can understand this -
    http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
    then you will be ready to come back to DW. Trying to use DW
    without a fair
    understanding of HTML and CSS is like being beat with a
    broomstick!

  • Same clip, different lengths in CS3 and CS4?

    I'm trying to fix a problem I'm having importing my CS3 project into CS4 and I noticed that the clip lengths in the properties windows do not match for my files. For example, if I open my clip in CS3 (where it was originally edited) it shows it this:
    File Path: F:TapesTape 24Scene 018 - Ally & Paul Coffee (9).m2t
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 365.4 MB
    Image Size: 1440 x 1080
    Pixel Depth: 1440
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00;01;54;14
    Average Data Rate: 3.2 MB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.333
    But in CS4 the properties show up as this:
    File Path: F:TapesTape 24Scene 018 - Ally & Paul Coffee (9).m2t
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 365.4 MB
    Image Size: 1440 x 1080
    Pixel Depth: 32
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00;01;53;08
    Average Data Rate: 3.2 MB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333
    What would cause this discrepancy? I shot at 30f on a Canon XH-A1. My project settings in CS4 are HDV 1080p30. Do I have the wrong settings? How could the same clip be of two different lengths. I'm so confused!
    Please respond only if you have a suggestion. I am not looking for comments about how I shouldn't switch programs midstream. I would like some honest help, however!
    Thanks!

    I've got a couple suggestions.
    First would be to see if its a problem with the import or a just a difference in how CS3 and CS4 reads the files. If you import one of .m2t files directly into CS4 and not through importing the project, does it give you the same info as you listed above? (I'm assuming the file info above was derived from importing the project and then looking at the file's info.) If it is correct when independently brought into premiere, then the problem lies with importing a CS3 project and I would suggest trying to unlink then link your media. If there is no difference, then it's something else.
    Second suggestion is to export an EDL out of CS3. Then, instead of importing your CS3 project into CS4, import the EDL and see if this resolves your edit points.
    One note I've noticed with the EDL's in premiere, they don't import well when generated in framecount mode, but work fine in timecode mode (in CS3 this is just what your timeline time indicator mode is set at, right click the time indicator and set it to Timecode. in CS4 this doesn't work and you have to set the Display Format to Timecode under your Project Settings.)
    Good luck.

  • New CS4 links panel is very slow

    I have 3200 links and using new CS4 links-panel is insanely slow. If I delete or update an image when links panel is open, I get the beachball for 10-15 seconds.
    The beachball also rolls for many seconds when simply opening the links panel. Seriously slowing the workflow.
    Tried to click off all info and thumbnails, no change.
    This used to be a breeze in CS3.
    Anyone else experience the same? I use MacBook Pro 2.4 Intel with 4 gigs ram.

    Do you have any suggestions of what might be the problem?
    I tried same document on CS3 and CS4, and CS4 has very slow links panel.
    I have no trouble when there are just a few links, but I have 3200 links to maybe 15 different multipage PDF's. CS3 handled this perfectly.

  • Premiere CS4 - AEP problem

    I have recently upgraded from Production Premium CS3 to CS4 to make use of the batch render facility in Premiere. I have a rather large CS3 project that opens fine (OK some of the garbage mattes seem to have moved, but I can fix them).
    My main problem is that this project contains 100s of AEP files (short keyed out green screen clips). These are all fine in After effects, and all show in the project fine. Appear on the timeline and appear fine in the source monitor. But will not appear on the main stage view and do not appear in the render.
    Does anyone know a fix for this? Am I missing something so blatently obvious I need to hang my head in shame. Or are there any other work arounds I can do. Im losing sleep over this.
    I'm running Premiere CS4 4.2.1, AE CS4 9.0.2 on Mac (OS 10.5.8) 2.66 quad core with 8GB of 1066 mhz DDR
    Many thanks in advance.
    Paul

    A couple of things you can try:
    Import the CS3 project into a new CS4 project, rather than just opening it.
    Re-import the AE comp(s) via File | Adobe Dynamic Link from inside the new CS4 project.
    Wait a while and see if the Keylight comps eventually show their video.  Dynamic Link is sometimes slower than you think it should be.

  • Premiere CS3 and CS4 Crashes

    I'm having trouble with Premiere Pro versions CS3 and CS4 crashing and am not sure why. The problem usually occurs after a few minutes of the program being opened or when we either try to scrub through the timeline or try to capture. It's very frustrating.  The machine came installed with CS4 and we have tried to remove and then re-install. We have also tried removing and adding CS3 and have had similar results. Recently we purchased a school license for CS5 although for Premiere we had to install the CS4 version and still have gotten the same results. This was working fine for quite sometime and I can't come up with a resolution to what is causing the problem. Can anyone offer any advice or suggestions on what to look into correct the problem? We are on an XP computer.

  • MXF clips do not open in CS3 of CS4 (windows vista ultimate)

    I have Sony DXCAM's MXF's which I can not import in Premiere (neither CS3 nor CS4). I did convert the original MXF's using Sony's DXCAM software.
    Adobe claims it supports MXF files. Another editing company which uses CS3 can import XMF's using a Windows XP machine. I work on Vista Ultimate.
    I have an itch that I am missing a vital codec of somekind, but I can not find out why my copies of CS3 and CS4 of Premiere Pro do not allow me to import MXF files. From within the Media browser in CS4 it results in the same disappointing result. It doesn't open.
    When I tried to open one MXF file in CS3 the program crashes and forces me to close it. In CS4 I get an error message after importing which reads; "Unsupported format or damaged file."
    Any help is very much appreciated, as I need to start my editing ASAP>
    Thx!
    Jan.
    System specs short:
    Windows Vista Ultimate
    PC Intel Core2 Duo CPU
    T7800 @ 2.60Ghz
    No Additional codecs installed.
    DXdiag file: http://www.buroklei.nl/upload/JanDiagDOC.zip

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for your feedback. The first thing I tried was to import the MXF packages (I don't see lone MP4's) into Premiere. That did not work. So I exported the MXF files using Sony's U1 player/recorder.
    I think its a Vista and/or codec problem, as my friend who workes on an XP machine is able to open MXF's in CS3.

  • Cs2 and cs3 and cs4 on the same pc xp? could be a mess up?

    Hi
    i have some questions
    i bought cs2 some time ago , i guess 4 years but now i don't remember
    and i did installed on my pc ,  never had a problem
    after when cs3 come out , i tried the trial version , the first time i did  not like it , but after 2 weeks , i liked and i need it for camera raw
    i upgraded my cs2 license
    well the point i donwnload the trial version of cs4  (english version , because most of the tutorials are in english) while cs2 and cs3 are in my language
    i tried to make a custom install (i did not install all the comonent)
    something went wrong ,when i tried to uninstall cs4 , i don't know but cs4 did not uninstall all the components (the uninstaller keeps adobe color Na, Ja, Eu, color common setting and cmaps)
    i downloaded the cs4 cleaner for adobe page , but the adobe cleaner for cs4 was not able to clean these components, it tried to clean cs3
    well i  had to use windows installer clean up manually
    delete every thing that is related to cs4
    uninstall cs3 and re-install it
    so after this mess, i ask if i can keep cs2 cs3 and cs4 (i think i will buy or upgrade) in the same pc running xp?
    my second question
    2) after updating cs4 , run the cs4 update utility and update all the cs4 components , cs4 seems to be more fast then cs3 , still on old pc with a powerfull machine like a p4 3.6 with 2gb of ram  and a good graphic card pci express
    is my feeling ? is the cs4 more fast then cs3 on not fast pc , isn't it?
    thanks too much
    and have a nice day

    thanks John Joslin
    CS4 is faster than CS3 on a computer which supports it.
    which are the computer that supports it ? i run xp
    why did the uninstaller do a mess up ?
    thanks

  • InDesign to Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Reader Link problem

    Hi - I'm responsible for a long conversation about link problems in creating file links in InDesign that did not work in Acrobat. At the end of that long discussion, I thought I solved the problem, but didn't. Since then, I've been MUCH more observant.
    The problem appears to take place in Adobe Reader.
    My home computer on Win7 is different than my work Computer (XP), but I have the same software on both.
    At work, I discovered that when I clicked on a PDF, it worked fine, that its links opened a new PDF window, but when I clicked on links on the second document, the links failed and Microsoft returned an error message telling me that I was screwed. Because I was screwed, I couldn't see what was in the path of that error.
    It turns out that for some unknown reason (which you might clarify for me), my Adobe Readers are attempting to open my documents in Internet Explorer and that just won't work.
    What I observed at home is that I made 5 test documents in ID, and ported them to Acrobat. As it turns out, my default for opening PDFs is Adobe Reader, which I saw on the chrome of the first document I opened. When I clicked a link, and I got the error message, I noticed my browser was up.
    When I set my default for opening in Acrobat, everything worked like a charm! How about that!
    Now then, what that says to me is that Adobe Reader is to be used exclusively with a browser, so if the people who are going to read your internal PDF files with Reader without those files being on a web server of some type, you are totally screwed. The only way you can use Reader is if you click on the file and bring it up directly. Don't rely on linking to other documents.
    I mean, that is what it seems to me.
    Now, I am creating a big project for an environment without a webserver and obviously my sense of panic is palpable. That said, I believe that all my users can read my files using Acrobat (to be tested tomorrow), which I hope means I can breathe a bit easier.
    Do any of you have any thoughts on this subject? If you are really curious, I can make a packet of test files available.

    Karen_Little wrote:
    The files and the PDFs are all in the same directory.
    The tests are on local drives. All indesign files and their related PDFs were in the same directory.
    The same for Word and its related PDFs. Note that the PDFs created by Word then read by Adobe Reader worked correctly. They all opened in Adobe Reader.
    If the default program for opening PDFs is Acrobat, everything works correctly, with the added benefit of everything opening in a different window, which is what I want (yet to be tested at work). If the default program is Adobe Reader, the second generation of links do NOT work because Reader opens in Internet Explorer.
    When I open a Word-created PDF with Acrobat, view the link, and click to the Actions menu, the action is "Open a file"
    When I open an InDesign PDF with Acrobat and do the same, the action says "Open a web link"
    Big BIG BIG bug.
    Are you seeing the link commands by editing them in Acrobat? If not, try, so you can see the exact command and file or URL instruction. It still may be a bug, but you'll have better evidence when you report it here:
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    And, you might want to try correcting a link command in Acrobat, to see if can work for both Acrobat and Reader.
