[ScriptUI][CS3] EditText bug?

I'd like to have this bug confirmed by someone before I file it to Adobe.
When I tab into an EditText which already contains a single character in it, say "5", or "e", when I re-type that value, I get it repeated ("55", "ee"). It does not occur when the value is longer than 1 char.
I made sure there is no onChanging or any other handler attached, then I fired a script from Adobe Bridge SDK. Same thing happens.
I would be glad to hear that I'm not the only one.
Any known workaround?

[JS] ID CS3 Closure Bug (?)

Hi folks,
trying to get a CS4 script compatible with ID CS3 (), I discover today a deeppitfall relating to variable scopes and closures.
It appears that ID CS3 may unexpectedly lost the access to a "closed" local variable when an outer variable shares the same name with it. I say "unexpectedly" because it's not the way JavaScript is supposed to work. The confusing fact is that this bug (?) is fixed in CS4, so the same code has two behaviors according to the version:
var outerFct = (function()
     var v = 'v in outerFct';
     var innerFct = (function()
          var v = 'v in innerFct'; // v hides locally outer-v
          var w = 'w in innerFct'; // no conflict with any outer var
          return function() { alert(v + ' - ' + w); }
     innerFct();
// Results:
// ID CS4 alerts 'v in innerFct - w in innerFct' (as expected)
// ID CS3 alerts 'v in outerFct - w in innerFct' (!!!)
Thus, when you create a closure and need to invoke a local variable from a local function, be aware of outer variable names (if you script for CS3).
Let me know if you see the same things on your OS.

Use this format: "\u03BB". E.g.
myString.replace ("\u03BB", "\u006B");

[IDS CS3]A Bug of InDesign CS3 Server?

Hi, all
I'm using SOAP to run InDesign CS3 Server scripts, and I found TestClient doesn't work with option "-server". When I want to run a file on the server machine, it always returns an error number 44 to me.
My same tests on InDesign CS2 Server work fine, so I think it maybe a bug of InDesign CS3 server.
Anybody also working on InDesign CS3 Server? Thanks very much!
Nicole

I am using InDesign CS3 Server and testclient.
I can use -server parameter with testclient, it works fine.
I don't know why you cannot.

[JS] Method failing in ScriptUI/CS3

I wrote a method to check whether the active document's selection is exactly two vertical guides, and it works well when isolated, run from either Scripts menu or from ESTK. But when I attached this method to a button in ScriptUI palette, it continuously fails to do its job.
It claims that "there is no document", although it is there and has the expected selection. I tried a whole bunch of try/catch, if'fing tests, referring to activeDocument as well as documents[x], passing a ready-to-use docref, repeating the #target directive, restarting Ai/ESTK, but it stubbornly claims there is no document.
The situation is really sick: for a moment I have even had an if/else clause which was supposed to $.writeln() in both cases, which it didn't even though script went on down and performed other stuff. Arghhh!
I'm really puzzled. Has anyone been through such a maze?
Art

Addendum: this strange problem occurs only when method is called from a palette - when invoked from a modal dialog - runs just fine. This does not bring me any further since I have to maintain interaction between Ai doc and the window...

[CS3][VB] Bug in myPage.Duplicate :(

hi
I try to duplicate page and get reference to object on newly duplicated page
I do something like this - this procedure should place page from multipage-PDF to Labeled Rectangle on duplicated page - next page:
Set myDestObject = FoundItem
b = 1
Do While True
myInDi.PDFPlacePreferences.PageNumber = b
Call myDestObject.Place(myPdfFile)
If myInDi.PDFPlacePreferences.PageNumber <> b Then
Call myPage.Delete
Exit Do
End If
Set myPage = ReturnPage(myDestObject)
' (a)
Set myPage1 = myPage
' (b)
Set myPage1 = myPage.Duplicate(idLocationOptions.idAfter, myPage1)
' (c)
' Set myPage = myPage1
' (d)
Set myDestObject = myPage.PageItems.Item(UCase(myLabel))
b = b + 1
Loop
after 1st loop:
in step (a) - myPage = '4' - what is right
in step (b) - myPage1 = myPage = 4
in step (c) - myPage1 = '4' and myPage = '5' ?? ?? ??
step (d) have no sense
so - myPage1 is original page - myPage is duplicated page
after 2nd step:
in step (a) - myPage = '5' - what is right
in step (b) - myPage1 = myPage = 5
in step (c) - myPage1 = '6' and myPage = '5' ?? ?? ??
step (d) could help ...
so - myPage1 is new-duplicated page - myPage is original page
could anybody tell me what the hell is going on ?
this is definition from VB ObjectBrowser:
Function Duplicate([To As idLocationOptions = idAtEnd], [Reference]) As Page
Member of InDesign.Page
Duplicates the page.
Return value: The duplicate page.
To: The location at which to place the duplicate page relative to the reference object or within the document or spread.
Reference: The reference object.
Note: Required when the to value specifies before or after. as Page or Spread
is it really the only solution to duplicate page AtEnd and then move it after original page?
could anybody check this in other laguages - JS and AS ?
[EDIT]
this bug is only for "left" pages on spread - when original page is "right" page - it is duplicated OK - like in second step in my example - so new workaround could be - check for left/right page and "Set myPage = myPage1" make sense for right pages ;)

FW CS3 Text bug?

After working in Fireworks all weekend for loads of site
navigational elements, I now have to change the font size for a
great many entries. For some unfathomable reason, Fireworks CS3 now
suddenly refuses to change font sizes in those documents.
Actually, it does change size in 1 out of 5 documents (they
are all copies of each other, in different languages).
But only as long as I don't open any of the other 4 documents
and try to change something there -- do that
before I open the one working document, and it stops working
as well. Do that
after making changes in that one document, and it stops
working too.
All of these documents use the
exact same font (same size, same colour)!
The "helpful" warning says «Could not complete your
request. The selection was incorrect for this operation.» and
only appears once, unless I quit and restart Fireworks.
Using the Editor by right-clicking into the text field,
everything works OK.
How can I get FW back to usable state... any ideas? Rebooting
does not help.
(MacBook Pro, 3GB RAM, OS X 10.4.9, Fireworks CS3)
TIA!

Premiere pro CS3 - image bug

Hello to anyone!
I'm much a novice than anything else, and I have a little problem for which I couldn't find any help effectively on all the problem-solution literature of adobe premiere pro.
I'm just making a very basic montage of 4 or 5 scenes, and between thoses scenes I insert an image (in JPEG) which last around one second and occupy all the screen during the apparition. I joint to the image a quick music which i make appear and disappear with the image. The music is extracted from a clip (.avi), so I just keep the music and remove the attached video.
so, basically, [SCENE] [QUICK FULL SCREEN IMAGE WITH MUSIC] [NEXT SCENE]
So I make render of everything, and everything works well when I play everything in Premiere pro. Then, I export the movie in .avi. For the first few times I play it independant of Adobe premiere, everything works.
But then after a longer period the same .avi video has changed (and I tested it several times). Between the scenes, the music does play but the image I attach it with doesn't appear anymore and it is just replaced by a frozen image of the last frame of the previous scene or the first one of the next scene. Its just like the good state of the montage has a expiration once exported.
So, basically, an image I'm inserting in the montage (for a very short presence time) disappear after a while in the exported .avi
What's the problem? I do render everything before...

Well, one of the problems with using SD material in as SD Project, and then displaying that on a high-rez computer monitor (Progressive) at full-screen, is that all the "warts" of SD will be seen. The test is to display on a calibrated CRT monitor, and judge the quality there.
Of the players for a computer, I like VLC, GOM and MediaPlayer Classic, all of which are free. I find that WMP and QT Player are less than desirable, and have not even seen RealPlayer in decades, but several here have had really bad results with it. Back in the old days, I likened RealPlayer to a Trojan. It did all sorts of bad things to the computer, and always wanted to show a dozen ads for RealMedia, before it would even play. It also seized all possible file affiliations, and one had to change them back, after RealPlayer automatically updated, which was almost daily. Then, there was no way to stop the program from updating. Wonder if it's gotten better in all those years. Predicated on my experience, so long ago, I would not allow it near any of my computers, whether it has been improved, or not.
Good luck,
Hunt

CS3 Save for Web bugs - No answer from Adobe in all forum posts

I just upgraded to Illustrator 13.0.02 and the problem is the same: Slice names and output settings are not remembered/saved like all previous AI versions.
I don't understand why this post was closed: CS3 Save for Web Problems
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3bc41aeb.
and this one: "Save for Web" names of frames vanish
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc4cd31/2
It is the same as: AI CS3 - Save for Web & Devises image name problem
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3c057eab
Concerning slice name: It looks like they now have to be saved via drop down menus in order for Illustrator to remember the slice names for export again: "Object - Slice - Slice Options, and then in Save for Web, set the Output Settings for Saving Files"
In my opinion this is incredibly poor UI design. In prior versions of Illustrator, I would save the names in the Save for Web dialog box by simply double clicking the slice frame, and it would remember the names of my slices for export again.
Clicking through drop down menus just to name a slice is inefficient compared to just double clicking a slice frame to name the slice.

This is a bit of an old thread, but I too have recently discovered this problem in working with AI CS3.
I contacted Adobe support with the question. I asked them why it was not possible to select and optimize individual slices in the Save for Web and Devices dialog in CS3, and then maintain those settings after saving the slices or clicking "Done"... even though that very feature was available and working in CS2.
Adobe's answer was, quite simply, that they have ceased any development on CS3, including bug fixes, and that anyone who wants the problem fixes would have to buy CS4 in order to "fix" the problem.
In short, they are quite aware of the problem, but would rather have us pay for a new product in order to have it fixed, than to pay a programmer to spend a few hours or a few days in tracking down the problem and getting it sorted out. This is their short-term solution to a long-term problem.
There is a workaround to the slice naming, as you have found - name the slices from the Object - Slice - Slice Options menu. It's a royal PITA, I know, but it does maintain the slice name settings.
However, there is no real workaround to save the optimization and output settings (such as color tables and JPEG/GIF/PNG settings) for each slice. It's a completely broken feature, or in Adobe's own words, "a problem". A big fat bug. Let us not mince words here - it is technical and corporate incompetency. Technical incompetency can be excused - publishing a new build will fix the problem. But corporate incompetency, which tells the programmers that they don't need to fix the problem for "marketing" reasons, is totally inexcusable.
It doesn't cost Adobe anything to just shelve a problem... at least, not now. But I refuse to buy Illustrator CS4 as a result, because I don't want to give in to their ineptitude and lack of attention to the customer in this case. Which costs them more now, to pay the programmer to fix the error and then publish a new build on their web server... or to tell the customer that the problem won't be fixed and to buy the newest version? You do the math. Read 'em and weep.
Makes you want to migrate to Fireworks for web comp design, doesn't it. At least Illustrator has an excuse - it's an all-purpose vector graphics application, not specifically a web comp design app. If this were Fireworks, on the other hand, I think that there would be oodles of furious programmers screaming colorful obscenities at Adobe's front door.
I really like Illustrator for what it does, but I'm not using CS3 for any more web comps after this.

CS3 won't start after system restore, fails to reinstall

I am running CS3 design premium on Windows 8. I've have the computer (Lenovo with Intel i5) for two months, though I used the design suite on my previous computer. I had to run System Restore to fix a problem with Firefox, and after I did none of my Adobe products worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled several times while following the Adobe Help page "error message at installation" guide. Each time I get the message that Acrobat installed correctly, and everything else "Component install failed." I also wiped everything Adobe off the program list (there were a few CC programs I had trialed, plus Flash Player and some plugins) ran the CC cleaner and still got the same error message. I even tried downloading the program files from Adobe in case there was a problem with my disk and that wasn't it either. I tried enabling FLEXnet and installing under a new user, each to no avail. Examining the log file found no instances of "Return value 3" and "FATAL." The search for "ERROR" found several items that I had either already tried or made no sense.
I ran the system restore again to an earlier point, and now I can't even uninstall anything. The CC cleaner tells me some files could not be cleaned, and I should close my browser and try again, but there are no browsers open. Restarted computer and tried again, same thing. It seems I've tried all the options.
Super frustrated.

I have upgraded to CS5, what to do with CS3 now sitting in my computer?

I hope there is someone out there that can help because, even though Adobe took my money, they refuse to give me support because I live in Europe but committed the cardinal sin to buy Photoshop in the US.
Perhaps this is a dumb question, but I need the hard disk space and I'm unsure if it's OK to remove my old Photoshop CS3 version still sitting on my computer after ugrading to CS5. My other concern is the activation code for my old CS3 that was used to authenticate and register my upgrade - what about that? If it's OK te remove CS3, should that be de-activated before I un-install CS3?

You can use CS3 Help menu to Deactivate CS3 before you un-install it the will allow you to install it in the future should you find a need. Yes you can un-install CS3 to recover a little disk space. You can also find where Adobe stores you CS3 Preferences and delete these also. However I would suggest that you should leave CS3 installed. There are Bugs in CS5 that are not in CS3. Bugs with Device drivers and GPU support as well as a bug in the action palette's player.

Text Box Inset Guides

InDesign CS4 does't seem to show Text Box Inset margins as guides when text box is selected just once with Selection Tool (i.e not dble-clicked to edit text). The Inset values can be discerned through opening up Text Frame Options dialogue box, but within CS2 they would be viewable as guides (which helped with exact alignment) when Text Box was selected once. Note: when Text Box is dragged to new position they appear momentarily whilst being dragged - not much use! Any help much appreciated.

Ok
I made a text frame there. I put insets of 5mm in there.
I can see the insets. But when i go to the type tool the inset preview disappears.
I ctrl click to move the frame and they temporarily appear. But once the type tool is active in the frame the inset preview is gone.

Bug?

Photoshop CS4 corrupted file while save to OS X 10.5 Server

Hello
We have or Leopard OS X Server running for months. Running CS3 Clients on 10.4.11 without any problems.
A couple of weeks ago we swapped to 10.5 Clients and all Photoshop where corrupted when using "save", the "save as" works fine. After some discussions with the Adobe Support we decided to upgrade all our clients to CS4 (very expensive, while we own CS3.3 only for 5 months now)
The Same problem occured with CS4 Photoshop. After again a discussion with Adobe Support whe switched of VersionCue support within the Preferences of Photoshop. This solves the problem for our G5 Based Machine, but all the Intel-Based machines are still corrupting the Photoshop files.
Has some experienced the same problem? Is their a bugfix our a workaround. The Problem is that using "apple-S" key is an automatic mechanism for our people for your now, you can't switch the mind in days to use "shift-apple-S" Key
Discussing the Problem with Adobe and Apple is very frustrating, they both say it is not their problem or bug but from the other.
For me Adobe should fix this bug. They offer CS4 for Leopard so they should be aware of incompatibilities with the Leopard System
Who is able to help us? Are there some workarounds
Regards
Gérard

It's a shame that a company who sells CS4 license for more then CHF 3500 (US$ 2500) isn't able to support the standard FileServer of Apple 10.5. In different forums I found hunderds of entries of people who has the same problem saving photoshop direct to the server under CS3 and CS4.
A workaround is a solution for a new system but OS X 10.5 Server is availible for more then 14 months now. Why didn't they debug it and solve it, the should have enough resources to solve this. I read the problem also occured on some Microsoft 2003 Server but not all.
No Bugfix? Has someone experienced or this is a MS or Apple Server Bug, or morelikely a Adobe CS3/CS4 Bug.

Non-standard installation messing up PPro 3.2.0?

I have a computer with a relatively low capacity hard drive to which I added a large capacity drive. The operating system is on the smaller drive (C:). Because CS3 Production Premium was large, I decided to install it on the larger drive (D:). So all my CS3 files are in D:/Program Files/Adobe...
Overall, everything seems to work okay. However, there are 2 facets of PPro CS3 that bug the heck out of me...
1. When I set the columns in the Project window to what I want to see (I don't use "Labels" for example) and save the project the changes disappear the next time I open the project! (i.e., the go back to the Default column settings)
2. This one's really weird... when I first installed CS3 I was able to use Dynamic link in PPro okay. I could create a new After Effects Composition from PPro or import one I'd already done in AE. Now when I select "New AE Composition" I get "An unknown error occurred during the import operation." and when I select "Import AE..." nothing happens at all!! Other Dynamic Link stuff seems to work fine... PPro opens Encore when I "Export to Encore" and it opens PhotoShop if I choose "Edit in PhotoShop".
Aside from a full re-install (which I'm loath to do), can anyone think of a fix I can look into?
Thanks in advance!
- Jim 8^)

Harm,
"Low capacity" is, of course, relative. Since I do a LOT of video and graphics, the 70GB C: drive is (to me) "low capacity". Your statement-
"40 GB is sufficient, albeit marginal, and anything larger than 80 GB is more than enough."
fascinates me as I'm not sure what you're saying 40GB is sufficient for or on what basis you say that 80GB is more than enough. I'm not trying to give you a hard time, honestly, I just don't understand your comment(s).
Anyway, thanks much for your response!

Stroke zero

Hi
no doubt a silly easy question but it's lost me.
If I use shift/alt and draw a circle then add a gradient it looks exactly what I want apart from the circle has a stroke whereas I don't want one because it spoils my circle. In the stroke options I seem unable to set the stroke to 0 .25 is my lowest option.
Using CS4 on windows.
Can someone point me in the right direction
thanks
Ian

1. Draw a path. Solid fill. Solid stroke.
2. Key 0 into the Stroke weight field. Stroke disappears (becomes None).
3. Pathfinder Palette: Click the Outline Pathfinder icon. Look at the Stroke weight in the Stroke Palette. (It is set to 0.) But the stroke is visible, and it prints.
If you key a zero into the Stroke Weight field, the field clears and the stroke becomes None. But the programs itself "keys" a zero into the stroke weight field and it sticks. So a zero in the Stroke Weight field does not necessarily equate to Stroke of None.
With AI's antialiasing, this can be easy to overlook, especially if the "zero stroke weight" is a light color. Can wreck printing jobs.
CS3. Bug has existed for several versions.
