Possible to set shortcut for file scripts custom script ?

i have some custom scripts in file > scripts. i'd like to set a shortcut key for them, but you can't do that thru edit > keyboard shortcuts because the custom ones don't show up, only "other script F12" shows up.
is there a way to set a shortcut to execute a custom script? i am using Ai CS3 version 13.0.2
some work arounds i tried that didn't seem to work:
- setting the script as an action - didn't work, the script does a bunch of stuff that can't be solved by actions
- setting an action and inserting a menu item, then setting a shortcut to run the action - doesn't help because menu item (the script) gets disassocated from the action every time you shut down Ai. sometimes it disassociates itself. tried to save the actions and reload them, but the scripts were still disassociated
thanks

As it sounds like you have already discovered, you should be able to define an Action with but one InsertMenuCommand step in it. That menu command would be the selection of your script from the File Menu.
However, that functionality has been broken for four full versions now. The Menu Command step goes vacant after quitting and re-launching Illustrator.
I keep an Action in my Actions palette titled CurrentScript. I can at least, at the beginning of a work session in which I know I will need to call a particular script repeatedly, re-do the Insert Menu Item step and have it survive during the work session. (It will, of course, be gone if I quit & relauch.)
If Actions could reliably call scripts from the File menu, one could do some very cool things. Many operations in the standard UI are not available via the scripting model, and of course vice-versa. Simply being able to reliably call scripts as individual steps of an Action would open the door for elaborate automations that perform both scripted functions and those available in the UI.
But alas, users have been complaining about this bug for four versions now.
I think it is conceivable that one could build a Javascript that employs the ScriptUI functionality, and have that script run automatically at launch. That script could simply be a "dashboard" palette from which to call other scripts. But one should not have to go to such ridiculous lengths to work around a bug that has gone unaddressed for so long.

Hello Matthew,
You should also change your temp directory to something woth no spaces, something like C:\temp.
Sapisnt sometimes has problems with the spaces in the temp path, and the Universal Installer nearly always
has a problem with this.

I can't set shortcut for „Application windows"

System Preferences → Exposé & Spaces → Exposé
I can’t set shortcut for „Application windows” — first column with Fn key is OK, but the second column with mouse button doesn’t work. If I set „secondary mouse button” for „application windows”, it doesn’t work. But if I set „secondary mouse button” to „All windows”, it works! All mouse shortcuts for „All windows” or „Show desktop” work, but no mouse shortcut for „Application windows” work . The same with „Mouse button 3” and other buttons.
Can you help me, please?

Do you see the iTunes Library icon in the window? Click on it and the use the scroll bar to get to the tracks you want.
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.

No. CSS is for presentation, but these parameters belong to
the HTML and
have to be written there.
BTW: The 'embed' element is invalid HTML. If you care about
valid markup
and your site doesn't have to be compatible with really old
browsers
like NN 4 or IE 5.5, then you should use the valid method
using 'object'
elements.

Setting PREFIX for DIMENSION_TABLE using OMB Scripting

I'm trying all day to find a way to set PREFIX for DIMENSION_TABLE
using OMB script without success and I'm a little confused now.
First of all Scripting Reference does not mention about PREFIX
property so maybe there is no way to achieve what I want. Consequently
it would mean that GUI interface is "stronger" than OMB Scripting.
Secondly I don't understand why when I issue following command in OMB
Plus:
OMBDESCRIBE CLASS_DEFINITION 'DIMENSION_TABLE' GET PROPERTY_DEFINITIONS
I get nothing (empty output, no errors) and when I execute:
OMBDESCRIBE CLASS_DEFINITION 'DIMENSION_TABLE' GET PROPERTIES
(STEREOTYPE, IS_ABSTRACT, DESCRIPTION)
I get:
class false {}
First result suggests that there are no properties for DIMENSION_TABLE
and second proves that there are at least three.
Is there some type/properties inheritance here?
Can someone explain me this and tell how can I:
1. find all valid types (I would like to set prefix for LEVEL,
LEVEL_ATTRIBUTE, etc. too)
2. find all properties for these types
regards
Tomasz Gajewski

You misunderstood me. I don't want to rename DIMENSION_TABLE. When creating DIMENSION_TABLE with gui I set NAME and PREFIX for each DIMENSION_TABLE and LEVEL.
PREFIX for level is used later during deploy to distinguish attributes from different levels.
Example. If I have a level named LEVEL_NAME with prefix LN and an attribute of it named ID than table generated for this contains column LN_ID.
When I create DIMENSION_TABLE using OMB Script prefix is set same as name (default behaviour that I can't change) and it is to long to use.
Scripting Reference doesn't mention about PREFIX property. Should I assume that the only way to change these values are through OWB GUI?

Max. heap size - possibility to set in jar file ?

Hi everybody,
my first question ;-)
I used java webstart for a while to roll out my software to 2 other colleagues. There was a possibility to set the starting and maximum heap size via the jnlp file. Recently I switched my "deployment process" to a simple jar file. I looked through the jar docs and googled a bit until I found this in the [bug database|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4682105]
and especially:
When jar file is read the maximum heap size is already set.
It is not feasible to introduce this feature.
So the only way to do this is using a script ?
Thanks in advance and enjoy your day,
Michael

Thanks for your quick and economic response.
Another way would be to use a tool like Launch4j which builds an exe file. Until now I have not been a friend of exe files for java programs. Since my application is only used in Windows environment I will have to rethink this opinion.

Is it possible to create shortcuts for Faces in iPhoto or Aperture?

I am naming hundreds of faces.
The auto detect function has exhausted all its options, so am now doing the remainder manually.
Is it possible to create a shortcut for: 1) add a face? 2) specific names of faces?
As am I doing hundreds its quite a laborious task.
Thank you

No. The max no. of months you can create a calendar with is 24. You might try using iCal. It's perpetual.

i dont think its possible to give High/low values to them, better to write small BDC to pass the data.

HELP....Possible to set origin for non flash symbols?

Hi everyone...
I need to know if someone knows how to solve this issue for me or has a recommendation.
I need to create a vast number of map symbols. The designs are as such that when I do a search and replace of a plain circular symbol I can swap them with a different symbol such as a buoy marker or other which should not be placed relative to the center of the symbol but by an origin of bottom center. So my question is si there any way to set an origin for symbols other than center so that when they are placed they are placed relative to this origin point as opposed to the center. I see that they is a similar option for flash art under symbol options but this does not have any effect when created as standard art. Is this possible as it will save me from having to incorporate manually created transparent boxes for each one to artificially correct this.
I am using CS3 on Windows.
THANKS!

> I think this is only way.
It's not the
only way. What you describe could be done with a Javascript that replaces selected objects with Instances of a Symbol. I have written such a Javascript, which is described on
this page.
It would not be difficult to modify the script to work with any kind of object (Symbol or other), as aluded to in the description.
It would also not be difficult to modify the script to prompt the user for a bounding-box alignment point.

Set filename for file download

Hi
i have a servlet that sends a file to the client to be downloaded. When the client requests the file the dowload dialogue pops asking if the user wants to download/open but the name of the file is always the servlet name were it originates. Is there any way to set the filename and extension in the servlet e.g ExampleResult1234.csv and send this to the client so that when the dialogue pops up it is set?
Current Servlet Code:
String output = "some data from database in csv format";
response.setContentType("application/binary");
response.getWriter().write(output);Thanks

It would be nice for the next person who needs help with this if you posted your solutions. :)

How to set up for file transfers via Bluetooth

Hi all,
I have a blackberry bold 9000 which I need to set up to transfer some pics, etc to another phone (not a Blackberry) When I try to connect from the other phone it says
"You can't connect with target device because it lacks of the File Transfer Profile (OBEX FTP) and/or the Object Push Profile (OBEX OPP) Bluetooth services"
Can anyone tell me how to get these??
The other phone is a HTC Magic.
Thanks in advance.

Which device is the "target" device? From what you describe it sounds like the HTC is the target device and that would be an issue with that device, not the BB.

Best set up for file transfers?

I am currently running a G4 Dual 533 as a file server and have placed my music, videos, and photos on it. I am set up via airport cards for wireless connections my issue is that this seems to be a very slow transfer speed. Even Itunes seems to have problems playing music without hiccuping. Is this due to the airport card in the G4 being the lowest transfer speed?
JJ

Are you using Apple's Airport card? The internal Airport cards are 802.11b @ 11Mbps. You could get a PCI extreme wireless card with 802.11g @ 54Mbps.

Set Permissions for file deletion

I need to create a new temp directory and at the end of my program, I need to delete the temp files...pretty common thing to do. My problem is the permissions dont allow me to delete the files unless I set them first somehow. I want to know what the settings must be in the Set Permission.VI so I can then delete the files. How do I mechanize this?

Are you having this issue in both the Development Environment and the Run Time Environment? The second solution that I linked is for executables only, and only makes it so that you don't have to turn off the UAC because it has administrative privilages. Anything that an administrator is able to do, the executable will now have permission to do. To test if this solution will work at all, just right click on the executable and select "Run as Administrator". If you are still having issues when the executable is running as administrator, the above solution will not work.
Try running this snippet and let me know what happens. All it does is create a file in the temp directory, read its permissions, then deletes the file. This runs on my computer with no error in the Development Environment and has the permissions of binary 110110110 (Decimal 438).

Setting filenames for images sequences via scripting

Is there a good way to set the output filename for a sequence via scriping? When I explicitly set the filename and render location, the frame number is being appended to the end of the extension. (example: "filename.png002").

Did a quick test.
You can set name the way you want "Comp 1-[#].jpg" - I mean if you add [#] by hand, AE seems to respect that.
So I guess you could check how many frames you are going to render and set appropriate amount of # signs in the file name.
Looking at your example, seems that AE ads frame number after the extension. In case you want to control where AE puts those frame numbers, try this "filename-[#].png" - that should do the trick.
