Set unit preferences (Javascript)

I can't find a way to set the unit preferences for Illustrator CS6/CC using JavaScript.
I found that this works (setting units for stroke):
var units = 2; // 0-inches, 1-milllimeters, 2-points
app.preferences.setIntegerPreference("strokeUnits", units)
But I want to set the ruler units ("General" in the interface), and this does not work:
app.preferences.setIntegerPreference("rulerUnits", units)
Any help?
Peter

Ten,
Yes, this works, finally! Thank you very much with this simple but poorly documented feature.
I noticed that the unit mapping is: 0: inches, 1: mm, 2: points, 3: pica, 4: cm, 5: custom, 6: pixels
Regards,
Peter

InDesign CS5.5 won't respect Units Preference

My Units preferences are set to inches, but new documents are still formatted in points.
Once the document is created, rulers appear in points, and when I open Preferences again, sure enough, units are set to points.
Once I change it back to inches, my rulers change and everything is fine, until I create the next new document.
Looks like a bug to me... or am I missing some new setting?

So lame that this is still a problem... Glad to have found this thread tho...
I guess I was lucky because in CC I had set indesign up with no documents open... But when 2014 forced me to re-install i figured all my prefs would follow over... Man was I wrong
Well I am set up now... But adobe... you guys... should really fix the program so you can change the defaults with out having to do it in a special way... More user intuitive...

Hi,
If you are on Apex 3.x or higher , try
function getTheCurrentRow(triggerItem){
alert( triggerItem.slice(6));
$s("P4_SELECT", triggerItem.slice(6));
/* Alert hidden item value you did set */
alert($v("P4_SELECT"));
</script>Here is link to Apex JavaScript API document where you can find functions $s and $v I did use

Illustrator - Units Preference Not Remembered

Is anyone experiencing any issues with the Units Preference not being remembered? Every time I relaunch Illustrator CC 2014 the units reset to Points, I have to go and change it every time.

IMail: How can I set mail preferences to display actual email address and not short names.

Even though I have it correctly set in Preferences , i.e. "Use Smart Addresses" is unchecked, the addressee automatically changes to the person's name rather than the email address. I am unable to find a way to display the actual email address option on iMail (Yosemite) I do not want nicknames/short names but want the actual email address to display on my address line. Can anyone advise please?

Thanks, Ernie
I wasted about 20 minutes looking for it and couldn't find it
cheers,

Multiple Libraries: 2 sets of preferences?

When using multiple libraries, is it possible to have a set of preferences for each one? For example: I have an Apple Lossless library which contains all of my music and I’d like to create an AAC library for use with my Nano. When I create a new library and change the importing preferences to 256 AAC, those settings remain when I open my Apple Lossless library.

i got it. duh.

Those choices are controlled via System Preferences, Trackpad.

Is there a way to set a preference for image resolution in PSE10?

Once I transfer image files from the camera to the Organizer (PSE10), they are listed in the information panel window as having a resolution of 180. I use the printer more than the internet for these files, so I really want the resolution to be 300 or above, and would like to set a preference to that effect. I know that I can resize them individually, or by a group, but I'd like to get the resolution set properly in the first place rather than adding yet antoher setp in my post processing efforts. I am assuming that the resolution is set by PSE10 because I can't find anywhere in the camera's (Canon Powershot SX40 HS) user manual that mentions that the camera sets a resolution. Is there some way that I can adjust the resolution that PSE10 assigns the images when they are imported into the Organizer? I'm using Windows 7 with 12GB Ram. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for the info. I certainly appreciate it. I’ve been looking everywhere I could think of for how the resolution gets to be 180, and couldn’t find it. I wish they’d have something in their manual about that. Your info helps tremendously. Thanks again..

Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is. I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

How do I set my preferences to open most recent catalog?

I'm running LR 4.1 with ACR 7.1 on a Windows 7 64 bit OS.
I set my preferences to open most recent catalog.
I then open another catalog and do some stuff in the catalog but when I start LR next time it keeps going back to a different catalog. How can I change the settings so it either opens the most recent catalog or I get prompted for which catalog I'd like to open (I've tried both settings) and LR still keeps opening the same catalog.

In the same dialog that your screenshot shows select as per this screen shot:
Your setting should open the catalog you most recently worked with. If you work on catalog A, then open catalog B, with your settings Lr will open with catalog B the next time.
