Sort library items on name only ?

Hi all,
Probably I am overlooking something. I would like to sort library items (in particular photos from iPhoto) in date sequence, but the only column displayed is the image name and only that column can be sorted. Problem is, that Motion 5 "automatically" sorts the photo's alphabetically if one of the two icons on the bottom right (list or thumbnail display) is clicked. Once sorted alphabetically, there seems to be no way to re-sort the photo's as they were: date sequence. The only way I have found to do this is
Go to thumbnail display mode
Quit Motion
Start Motion
Don't touch the list/thumbnail icons anymore
This is very annoying, because other elements from the library, such as behaviours, are easier shown in list format.
As said, there must be a way to sort photos in date sequence, but I ccannot find how.
Any help is welcome. Thanks

Ok... well... it's actually "in there" but not like you think, and not really very intuitive.
Go to the "Project Pane" (layers list, etc...) and at the top of the column, select the Media tab.
Go to your photos library and select the "theme" (subgroup) your images are in. Thumbnails or list view, doesn't matter — select the pane the images are in and type Command - A (select all).
Drag ALL the photos into the Media pane (they are NOT added to the layers list.)
Right click on any of the column headers (Preview or Name is good) and from the dropdown, select Sort By > File Created (or Modified).
Select the image you need and drag it onto the canvas (it will be added to the layers list.)
I will grant you it's a little strange... Also, BE CAREFUL!!!! Whatever you do, you DO NOT want Motion to Save Unused Media with the project!!!! Make sure that option is unchecked. Or, command or shift select all unused images in the Media tab and delete them before saving.

How can I list my iphoto library by file name only?

How can I list my iphoto library by file name only?

There are two apps that can do that for your.
1 - the better of the two is iPhoto Library Manager. You will have to manually select those Events in Library A that are not in Library B and copy them to B. Then do the same for B to A. This also copies both the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, descriptions, faces and places.
2 - the second app is SyncPhotos. This one is automatic and will copy the original images in A that are not in B into B and the same for B to A. This does not copy edited versions or any of the metadata, i.e. keywords, etc.

Sorting Library by Album Name

Just upgraded to iTunes 7 - I am unable to sort my library by just Album name. When I select available columns it has one titled Album but when I choose it shows up as Album by Artist. The impact is that any album with multiple artists will not sort correctly. Can anyone shed some light on this topic. I just want album name back.

Just hit the header til it says "Album"

DW removes spaces surrounding updated library items

I've filed a bug with Adobe on this issue, but I'm wondering
if anyone else has received a fix for what I consider a
showstopping bug. In a nutshell, whenever I update a library item,
DW removes all spaces surrounding the updated library item, and
will even remove spaces surrounding unrelated library items during
the same operation.
For example, let's say I have a simple library item that
contains only the character "^". I insert that into a page to
render like this: "| ^ |", using normal spaces in the page code to
separate the three characters. If I then edit the library item to
use the character "-" instead, all updated pages will lose the
surrounding spaces: "|-|".
I've developed hundreds of library items over the years, and
can reproduce this over the last three versions of DW (8, MX 2004,
MX), on multiple computers using new code or existing sites. If I
edit a single library item, it corrupts hundreds of pages in a
large site, and I have to use special searches to find and fix the
error. I can't believe that noone else is affected by this problem,
or isn't using library items to the extent that I do.
I'd really like to see library item functionality repaired,
and this is my last appeal before finding a replacement for DW, Are
any DW developers monitoring this list?

I don't think so here, either. Why would one EVER choose a
Library item
over SSI? On a large site, you would upload hundreds if not
thousands of
files for each change with the former.

Precisely what SSI does, only better.

This is true - since Library items are design-time tools, you
take the
bandwidth hit on the upload side of things rather than on the
fetch side of
things.

They do not. If you need to communicate with them, you must
contact them
directly. But you have been told that Adobe is aware of the
problem at
least twice - is that not enough?

Flash Pro CC to CS6 fla issue - Bad library items and new library items with unicode names

I've noticed a strange issue when opening fla files in Flash Pro CS6 that have been edited in Flash Pro CC. If there are library items in the fla with names that include symbols such as ">" or ".", unicode named symbols are created and the original symobls are unuseable. There are many symbols that cause the issue and the symbols just have to be a part of the name.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create an fla file in Flash Pro CC.
2) Add a single movieclip to the library with a symbol name of ">".
3) Save the file.
4) Open the file in Flash Pro CS6.
Results:
Library contains 2 symbols, one named ">" and one named "&#062".
Expected:
There's one library symbol named ">".
After that double clicking the symbol named ">" will do nothing and instances of the symbol will have all their content removed.
This issue is breaking a JSFL script I wrote that loops the library items. When the script attempts to access item.layerCount the script errors out. My team is blocked from using Flash Pro CC in combination with Flash Pro CS6 because of this issue. The only good solution I can think of is to all switch to CC at the same time to avoid converting our fla files to CS6 from CC.
Any info on a fix for this issue would be appreciated.

The dialog you get when you open the FLA in CS6 is that new features may not be available in CS6 so you should save it to a new file to avoid corruption. There's no "save down" from CC to CS6 (yet). So opening the file in CS6 isn't advisable in the first place.
That said, library items are supported between them both so to your point, yes, I get the same exact behavior. A single symbol named ">" in CC produces 2 library items in CS6 named ">" and "&#062", and the original item is lost. Although I'm not sure where I'd classify this issue being you shouldn't be opening a newer version file from an older version of the application. I did also try XFL, same issue. If they decide to create a save-down to CS6 and this still exists, I'd consider it a bug.
As for a fix, I think about the only thing that comes to mind is identify the characters causing issues and run a JSFL in CC to rename the library item temporarily to something you know will work fine. Then once back in CS6, run the JSFL opposite to convert them back to what you want. e.g. "this > that" to "this XYZ that" in CC, then "this XYZ that" to "this > that" in CS6. Shouldn't be too hard to map as long as the replacement is unique.

When saving library item, only OPEN pages updating (closed pages not updating)

When I save my library item it only updates the pages that are OPEN and not the ones that are closed. It starts the update process then stops after updating the open pages and never completes the process. I have to click "stop" after a minute or so. Then it prompts me to update the pages again.
How can I get it to update ALL pages associated with the library item?
Here's the library code:

<table width="197" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
But I would expect the Library item to only include the table

Orginizing your library by arist name.

Im trying to organize my library by artist name. When I do the the names that start with numbers (ex. 50 Cent, 2Pac, Etc) our on the bottom. When I put them on the top the Z's come after. Is there any way where i can put these names that begin with numbers before the names that start with A's. Thanks in advance for the help.

That's all part and parcel of the new sorting rules that have been introduced in recent versions of iTunes.
To workaround it, you will have to make use of the also recently introduced Sorting tab that is described at the bottom of the above-referenced article.
You can get an entry to the top of the list by prefixing it with aaaaa in the appropriate Sort field.
Information you enter in the Sort fields will not change what is displayed for those items, only how it is sorted.

InDesign CS4 Library- can't get library items on to pages

I'm fairly new to InDesign CS4.
A book I'm reading has a tutorial telling me to drag library items from the library to a page.
This is a library that the book author created that came with the book.
However, I can't get material from the library to any of the pages.
Anytime I try dragging any of the images or other items from the library to my page in InDesign CS4, I get a small "No" symbol (a circle with a slash through it).
So I clicked on the image in the library that I wanted to add to the page, and using both the content menu (and later, the library panel's menu) to select "Place Item," nothing happened.
How do I get content in a library on to a page?
Dragging and using "Place Item" are not working for me.

Hello, Lee Sarah, and thanks for answering.
If I understand you correctly, this is what I did:
I "right" clicked on the Library file icon on my hard drive, called "Healthy Pets CS4."
This brought up a context menu.
From there, I went to "Properties."
Under "Properties" > "Attributes," "Read only" is not checked off, nor is "hidden" checked off.
In the "Healthy Pets CS4 Properties" dialog box, I then clicked on the the "Security" tab, which brought up all sorts of stuff about permissions, read /write, etc.
I guess I should mention at this point that I'm on a computer running Windows Vista, since this might be pertinent to my issue (?)
Although it's my computer, it has me on here as two different people (I'm on as Administrator and under my first name, which let's just say is "Graphics Cuddly Bear.")
On the "Security" tab page of the dialog box is a heading called "Group or user names," and from there, depending on which name you pick from the user names, different options get high lighted in the ""Permissions for Authenticated Users" box below it.
So, under "Permissions for Authenticated Users" (when the users "Autheticated Users" and "Admins" are selected) the following are checked off with a check mark,
(as if to say, "These are the things you have permissions to do with this file"):
Modify
Read and Execute
Read
Write
The only things I do not have permissions for when I check off "Administrator" on that list is "Special Permissions."
When AU (Autheticated Users) is checked it says I do not have "Full Control" or "Special Permissions."
However, when I clicked on my name (GCB - "Graphics Cuddly Bear") under the heading of "Group of user names," these two things are the only ones checked off:
Read and Execute
Read
So I went in to another area of this box and gave my account ("GCB") the "Write" ability.
When I went back to the box, a check mark next to "Write" then appeared. So it appears to be telling me that under GCB, I can now write to that file.
So when I opened and closed out of InDesign and re-opened it, it still will not allow me to drag the files/text/images from the library.
I still get the little "No" symbol.
It also still will not let me use the "place" command, either.
I've gone ahead and worked thorugh this chapter without being able to use the author's library items, but it makes working on her tutorials very difficult.
And it's rather pointless, since the entire chapter is about how to use the software's library.
I got a response from the book's publisher (Delmar / Cengage) to ask them for help, if they would provide me with working copies of the files, or some other work around, and they were NOT the least bit helpful.
A representative from Delmar/ Cengage e-mailed me to say that because I purchased the book at Amazon's site (rather than from them directly) that they would not help me, which I thought was cruddy and not classy.
I don't see that it entirely matters where I bought the book from; they're the ones who made it.

Dreamweaver Teamplate with Library Item for Navigation/Sidebar not updating editable classes

I have a Dreamweaver Template that contains two Library items. One Library item is my navigation bar, the other is a sidebar that shows different content depending on what page you are on. I'm assigning an editable class "active" to the navigation bar to show you are on a particular page, and also assigning the editable class "active" to the sidebar to reveal a portion of the sidebar with links pertaining to that specific page. The default value for the class is "hidden". So what is happening is when I open a page I have created and "edit" the Library Items in it to edit these classes, it resets resets all the other pages on the site to the default class values. How am I able to use editable classes and Library Items to achieve this kind of functionality? The idea is to only have ONE navigaton bar to update on the site and to only have ONE sidebar item to update. Here is an example of the sidebar and navigation in action so you can see what I'm going for. Notice the green button in the navigation bar (that is a list item with the class "active" which is an editable class in the Library Item, also notice the tan links in the sidebar, that is an unordered list that has an editable class of "active" in the Library Items --- these editable classes reset to their defaults when updating the Library Item on the website).
http://www.brumleve.org/joe/temp/CAP/mission.html

In my understanding, whenever you edit the contents of a library item, it will update all other occurances of this library item on the rest of the site. That's "working as designed" as far as I know, unless you break the link by telling it to not update - which kinda defeats the purpose I think.
But theres another way to do this using template properties, i#ve been using this approach myself a couple of times:
Write your navigation bar in the template (.dwt) file itself, then select the class= of your first menu item and choose .. (names might be off, I am using a non-English copy of DW): "modify > template > make attribute editable" from the main menu. Do so for all your menu items and name these new template properties something like "item_x_class"
You'll end up with something like this in your template source:
<div class="@@(item_1_class)@@">
and a matching
 in the header
Now, on each page, you can set the class within the template properties dialog ("modify > template properties"). If your main menu changes, it won't overwrite your template properties, but still update all pages when you do make a change to the menu.
If you're using multiple templates for your site, consider nesting templates, so the master template already includes your navbar and all subsequent templates will "inherit" changes to the navbar code (sans the editable class property).
Hope this helps.. or at least gives you an idea for further experiments..

Spry widget menu bar as a library item - problems

I created a spry vertical menu bar and made it a library item. The original works great, however when I insert the library item into its own div tag on another page, the submenus will not pop out, either in DW or the browser view. The div tag is the correct size and I made the z index high enough. Here is the code of the page that works properly:

I understand about having the script and link element that connect my page to the dependent files in the SpryAssets folder in the header and the JavaScript function cal at the bottom on each page. I don't know what else to do - HELP!

Welcome to the Dreamweaver world!
Well, having your index.html page at the top/root level is important, as that is the default page by which people will enter your site.
Having other pages in folders is fine...I do it all the time in order to keep departments or categories of information sorted.
One characteristic of having pages in folders is that the hierarchy of files in folders (perforce) puts them at different depths in the site.
This is not inherently a bad thing! Just one to remain aware of. When you look at your site files in the Files Panel, you can see a graphical representation of those different levels.
But the nature of a library item is that it is identical in all its instances, which is what makes it useful...change it in the library, and it changes site-wide. The down-side of that identity is that when your files are at different depths in the hierarchy, their links back to, say, home (or any other same file) will change depending on the depth. You can see this if you make a link on a page, then drag the page (in the Files Panel) to a different depth...say, into a folder when it started at root level, or vice versa. Check the link, and you will see that it automatically adapted to the new path.
Library items do not do that; they do not change, so some of your links will be 'wrong' when you refer to pages that have different paths than the ones originally set up in the library item... because of the change in hierarchy.
All this is, of course, reliant on your creation of the site in the first place, as defining the root folder's location on your computer gives Dreamweaver a starting point for handling (juggling?) all the location-information for your site's files.

Sort list items according to predifined order

hi all,
I wonder is there any way to sort the items of a list
according to a predefined order (e.g., 2,3,1)?
Many thanks

As far as I know the only predefined sort order is
alphabetic. You could write a function using
list.addAt(position,value) to add new items in the proper location
and maintain the sort order yourself. This might involve a lot of
looping through the target list, depends on how complex your sort
rules are.
I had a project where I needed to keep a list of file names
sorted by rules other than alphabetic. I actually used a big lookup
table (case statement) to append letters to the beginning of each
name just before adding them to the list, the letters were stripped
off when data was retrieved from the list. This trick allowed me to
use list.sort() to maintain the sort order. It’s an ugly
solution and I’m not proud of it, but it got the job done.

Library Item Conflict

Hi. I'd appreciate any help people can offer regarding this
problem. I am creating some animations using Flash 8. Some work
just fine. Others give me the following message when I try to add a
new movie clip: One or more library items exists in document. It
gives the choice to replace or not replace the items. Both choice
are bad. If I replace the items, one of the original animations
gets messed up. If I don't replace, the new animation gets messed
up. I'm unclear about which items are overlapping. The problems
don't seem to make sense. For example, if I say "don't replace" my
new animation will suddenly have additional moving parts that were
not part of the original.
Any ideas for solutions or workarounds?
Thanks.

This is one area of flash in desperate need of some
anhancement - it's blind work and flash would be
better if it listed the offending symbol names and allowed
you to auto-append a prefix to the names
of each.
Anyway - you need to rename all symbols in one of the
libraries with a prefix or something - not the
best option but it is the only way - combining FLAs is not
easy in this situation.
I believe somebody may have made a JSFL extension to correct
this (or maybe they will upon reading
this). I will look around to see if i can find something.

Behaviors and CSS misbehaving on library items

I've created a site that uses behaviors to create a NAV with
Pop-up menus. There are several categories and each category has
several products in it. The Categories and the products change so I
wanted to create a LIBRARY item out of the NAVmenu. The problem is
when the Library Item NAVmenu is created all the Pop-up behaviors
disappear. This would mean I have to re-input the Pop-ups a zillion
times. Also the CSS screws up. Any Ideas?

This is the code from a Library item?
Try this - create a new page, and drop an image on the page.
With the image
selected, use MODIFY | Library > Add Object to Library.
Name the Library
item you have just created, and then open it in DW. Look at
the code. You
should see -
1. No doctype
2. No <html>, <head>, </head>,
<body>, </body>, or </html> tag
3. Probably all you will see is something like this -
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<img src="..." width="..." height="...">
That says it all. The Library item is a simple code fragment
that will be
inserted within another page's code.
Now - if you are determined to stick with the FW pop-up
menus, you will
have to do some work to make a Library item. You will have to
externalize
the javsacript for the menus, and link to that external js
file in each page
of your site. Then you will have to remake your Library item
so that it
only contains the triggering images for the menu. It can be
done - see here
where I have done it -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/library4d.html
You will see several things as you look at that page. The
first is that
large chunk of javascript in the scrollable text area above
the menu -
that's the code that is written dynamically to each page as
it loads, and
it's one of the reasons why pages with these menus are
usually sluggish.
Also, if you look at the code on the page, you will see where
the library
item begins and ends. That's all of the code you should see
in the *.lbi
file. Finally, you will see how I have linked to the external
javascript
files to make this work.
Here's the tragedy here - you used these pop-ups because you
didn't know how
to do them yourself. Now look at the mess you are in....
