Save Dialog on close

Windows 7
Illustrator 5.1
This is going to sound like a strange request, but does anyone know of a way for Illustrator to stop coming up with the "Do you want to save this document before closing?" when closing document window (not illustrator itself). I do artchecks on CS5.1, hundreds a day, and I am looking for one less click when working with these documents, of which I never have a reason to save. Is there a preferences or other such .ini file or even a registry edit i can make? I understand this would not be recommended and editing such things has inherent issues. I assure you, I can deal with it.
Thanks.

Hello, thanks for responding.
Isnt ctrl+D a duplication command by default?
I created an action to close the window but I am unsure as to how you wouldn't trip the save function. The way I see it, if I could have the action contain something to select "no" at the prompt, that would solve it. But when I record, it will only allow for the close command and still gives me the choice to save.
Thanks

Save dialog wont close

Hello,
I noticed when I tried to close my work on different software and the save dialog windos appears, i can't click on save, don't save nor cancel buttons.
In addition, i cant switch to another window nor function in the related software, so i have to force software shutdown by pressing option+command+esc and choose it from the list.
This problem appears since I have installed Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 10.1 Retina Display early 2013.
I hope you can find a solution please
Thanks.
Pablo.

Open and Save Dialog Boxes Appear Briefly then Close

Open and save dialogs on my MDD 867 flash briefly and then close themselves in my administrator account. All the other accounts are fine. This makes me suspect something in the Library. I just did a wipe and install plus Migration Assistant to no avail--which furthers my suspicion of Library problems.
Anyone have any suggestions which file(s) could be the culprits?

More than likely it's a conflict/corrupted amongst the various preference (plist) files. Log into a good admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.
See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4703015 for more details on this process.

Turn off save dialog box when the close command is executed

I would like to set the default value of the save dialog box to No when my users close my form, so they do not have to manual answer this question. Is it possible to do this or is there a commmand I can place in docClose to tell the form to close without saving?
Thanks
-Anne

The Downloads folder defined in Mail/Prefs/General is just to temporarily store decoded attachments.
The Save dialog is available by pressing *and holding* the Save lozenge button next to the attachment(s) in the message header header, or right-clicking/save attachment on files visible in the message body.
(Having to click and hold the save button to get something useful is extremely bizarre, and IMO broken)
You can also drag and drop items from the message to a Finder window or whatever.

Why pdf prompts a save dialog when I close it?

Please help every time I open a pdf document and then close it a save dialog appears asking me to save the changes although I haven't changed anything; Is it a Bug? How can I fix it?

There are two reasons this happens.
1. The file is damaged, or (more often) made slightly wrong by bad software (more common than you'd think). Adobe Reader repairs the file, and wants you to save the repaired file. (If you do, the message won't be repeated)
2. The file does some clever stuff with forms when you open it, and changes the file. Again Adobe Reader wants to save it. (Even if you do, the same thing could happen next time).
If you didn't make the file you can safely ignore this.

Open/Save Dialog Box Freeze

Hello,
Since updating to 10.4.7, the open/save dialog box freezes (beachball) after selecting a folder. Can anyone please point me in the right direction in solving my issue.
I used the ComboPPC updater and then ran Cocktail to repair permissions, cron scripts, clear caches etc.
I recently posted about the Finder freezing instead I should have mentioned that it was the Open/Save dialog box.
Regards,
David

Snow Leopard sidebar width in open/save dialog boxes

I think I found the answer to the infuriating non adjustable sidebar width in the open/save dialog box.
It requires finding the plist of every program you want to change (I know... annoying)
Close the application if open. Open the plist in Property List Editor (which is the default anyway so just double click) and delete any line which begins NSNavPanelExpanded...
Reopen the application and the sidebar now mirrors the settings in Finder (where the sidebar stays adjusted if you alt+click drag it).
I haven't restarted yet so don't know if it will stick but I don't see why it shouldn't, and I don't know if it will reflect further finder changes to the sidebar width.

In the case of Photoshop it looks like NSNavBrowserPreferedColumnContentWidth also needs to be deleted, or a new value entered.
So it might be different for different programs

Error trapping for 'Save' dialog open?

I'm writing a program which will do an extensive amount of work in Photoshop, and I'm trying to make sure it's as idiot-proof as possible. Before starting the image editing code, I want to make sure the user hasn't left any dialogs open in Photoshop, so I can show them a warning and cancel the application. I have found that attempting to get any properties of the application (e.g. version, document count, build, etc.) will throw an error if the user has the 'Open' dialog showing, but if they have the 'Save' dialog open, there is no error. Is there any reliable way to determine if the user has left Photoshop in a state where it will cause problems executing code?
My script is currently written in Applescript, but will hopefully be someday rewritten in Javascript, so I'd be interested in any suggestions in either language with preference leaning towards Javascript.

Well, they just keep on amazing me. And it doesn't seem like they went to any great lengths to do so either.
During this 'exercise' I just kept thinking I'd eventually find something that would throw an error while the dialog was up...
"Well, I shouldn't be able to do _____."
"...well, I certainly won't be able to do _____..."
"...ok, there's absolutely no way I would be able to ____."
...I thought being able to alter the document was bad enough - but you can even CLOSE the document you are trying to save from an external script!! ...and you are guaranteed a crash when you click the 'save' button at that point.
The only thing I have come across so far which doesn't seem to work with the save as dialog open is opening another document. And even that doesn't throw an error - it just hangs the script (no change with 'try/on error...", no change with 'with timeout...")
...oh, well. It's almost 5:00 on a Friday. I think I'll just go home feeling defeated.

Open/Save Dialogs: How to Set Min. Sidebar Width?

I am now running Lion. I cannot remember if I had this problem under Snow Leopard, but I certainly have it now. Whenever I bring up the Open/Save dialog within some apps (for example, Illustrator CS5.0), no matter how large I've made that dialog overall, the sidebar width is always too narrow such that all the names inside the sidebar aren't perfectly visible horizontally. Yes, I can make the sidebar wider by hand for a single session. But if I close the dialog and open it again, the sidebar becomes narrow again.
How can I define a minimum width for the Open/Save dialog sidebar, that all apps will obey perpetually?

Perhaps, but in my many years of online forum participation, I've found that people are lazy (myself included at times). And unless we exert ourselves, we often don't post something for the benefit of others, even though we may have the answer. As such, a somewhat provocative follow-up post, while having the potential to upset some, is usually sufficient to encourage at least one person to stand up and post a potential solution. It got you to post a response (even though it was not the answer I sought), which I appreciate. Hopefully, someone with the answer will be able to post back here. I am a believer of "where there's a will there's a way," so no doubt someone out there far more clever than I has discovered a fix for it.
I therefore look forward to hearing the thoughts of others on this issue.

How to suppress the Save Dialog before closing the form?

Dear all,
I created a form which will open a data connection on a button click.
I catch the error on failure and code to close my form by app.execMenuItem("Close");
but a Save Dialog will appear before I can close it.
(may be because I have done something on opening the form),
is it able to suppress it? Or simply cannot?
Best Rgds.

but it seems that after event.target.closeDoc(true);
the codes that follow will continue to run,
but this doesn't happen if I use app.execMenuItem("Close");
I already include the closeDoc inside the try catch.

Prevent File Save Dialog appearing?

I have been using Excel 2010 to create Word Documents and then use .SaveAs to save the newly created file without any issues
When I moved to Office 2013 the same code now presents a File Save dialog box.
I have researched the issue and can find no way to prevent the Dialog appearing (and worse regardless of the user selection the Excel code crashes)
The following is a simplified version of the troublesome code
Sub TestWordSaveAs2()
Dim InvoiceProFormaFileName As Variant
Dim NewFileName As String
Dim WordApplication As Object
Dim WordDoc As Object
' Prompt for a word document
InvoiceProFormaFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Word Documents, *.docx", Title:="Any Word File", MultiSelect:=False)
Set WordApplication = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set WordDoc = WordApplication.Documents.Open(InvoiceProFormaFileName) ' Open the pro-forma invoice
' Create a new name
NewFileName = Replace(InvoiceProFormaFileName, ".docx", "2.docx")
WordDoc.SaveAs2 Filename:=NewFileName, FileFormat:=16, AddtoRecentFiles:=False ' <======= this line Shows the File Save Dialog and then fails
WordDoc.Close SaveChanges:=0 ' wdDoNotSaveChanges
' Finished with the Word Application so can close
WordApplication.Quit
End Sub
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I have create a doc file and a excel file in my pc, after I run the code you have provided ,and choose the doc file I just created, it runs without any save dialog. And My Office is Pro Plus 2013 .
I have upload my sample to OneDrive, you can download it here:
http://1drv.ms/1DhnMe5
When you run this sample, will this show the save dialog again ?
To narrow down this issue, can you create a new empty word and choose it in the excel, does it will happen again? if it is convenient, can you share the doc file you're using? Have you update your office ?

Presenter forces permanentely the file save dialog even for unchanged documents

Presenter permanentely forces the "Do you want to save the changes ..." file save dialog to appear even for unchanged documents when I try to close it.
To confirm the saving all times is not the solution because then I will loose the file's time/date stamp for the last real change.
Not confirming the saving can be risky in case of any changes to the document which I am not aware anymore for that moment.
Especially in case of having multiple documents open - this drives me really crazy.
Deactivating the Adobe Presenter Add-in would solve the issue - so it is a problem related to Adobe Presenter (and not related to Powerpoint).
I am using:
Adobe Presenter 9.0.2
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010
Windows 7, 64 bit, Service Pack 1
Thanks for your help
Stefan

The easiest way to solve the problem is to temporarily deactivate Adobe Presenter when you don't need it.
In PowerPoint, go to File / Options / Add-Ins, select "COM Add-Ins" at the bottom of the window and click "Go".
Then un-check the Adobe Presenter PowerPoint COM AddIn:
You can easily reverse the process when you next need to use Presenter.

How to save and then close document Using Acrobat 9 (URGENT)

I have been looking for a soultion for long time now but
couldn't find any.
I'm using a dynamic PDF form desgined using LC Desginer and created a button that should save the current opened form in the same location (no need to define the location because what I want to use is the command File -> Save) and then close the application (I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended).
I tried many scripts and gone throw JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API Reference but no luck.
Once I click on the button I get the following error: NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Will you please help in this issue as it took long time and my project manager is pushing to get resolved ASAP.
Guys, I'm new to this kind of tecnology so please be patient with me.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help.
The code I used in click event of the button is as follow:
try{
     var myDoc = app.newDoc();
     myDoc.saveAs();
     myDoc.closeDoc(true);
catch (e)
     xfa.host.messageBox(""+e);
I used this earlier and got the same error:
try{
      var myDoc = event.target;
     myDoc.saveAs();
catch (e)
     xfa.host.messageBox(""+e);

Hi Niall,
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
The app.execMenuItem works here. Is your form designed to be opened in Acrobat/Reader or are you opening the form in html?
The form will be opened by Acrobat/Reader. The statement worked but what I need is to save the PDF in the current location without popping up the Save As dialog box. In other words I would like to perform Ctrl+Saction and then exit the application not only close the form because the Content Management Solution we are using will require the application to be closed so it can CheckIn the document.
I tried to use app.execMenuItem("Save"); but it seems it is not working because once I try to close the application or the form using app.execMenuItem("Close"); the do you want to save changes to "FORM" before closing? dialog box pops-up.
For closing the application I tried app.execMenuItem("Exit"); and I got this error: InvalidArgsError: Invalid arguments.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}Also you may want to consider how you are reader enabling the form. If you are using Acrobat to extend the form, then certain features like database connections will not work.
The customer has Adobe LC Reader Extension so I will use it to extend the PDF but right now I do use Acrobat so I don't need to extend the PDF everytime I need to test it.
Can I get all the arguments that execMenuItem uses?
I really appreciate your help Niall.
