Utility to collect/delete unused links?

[INDD CC]  I inherited a very long do and have to update all links. Is there a way to collect and delete all unused links from the links palette and the links folder once they've been replaced? Kind of like how the swatch palette has a "select all unused" swatches and you can delete them?
thnx ~~carol

I must have read that one too quickly, because I didn't notice that he said "links palette." I thought he was only talking about unused links in a folder. If there are extra items in the links panel, they could be on the pasteboard, but there is a page indicator in the window, so I'm guessing he didn't miss that. May be they are hidden objects (try Object>Show All On Spread) or on a hidden layer (check the layers panel). If they are on the pasteboard but you can't see them, they could have been pushed nearly off the edge. If you select all and deselect the visible items with the shift key, you will see the frame handles of anything that is mostly off of the pasteboard and into never-never land.

  • Lightroom 4 collections deleted - photo dupes remain

    Hi chaps - I have been messing around with the web module and have created several 'collections' to test out several ideas, LR has created duplicates for all of the separate collections, I have now got to the stage where I have decided what to do so want to delete all of the duplications in "All Photographs" but I thought if I deleted the 'collection' the associated duplicates would be removed but they are still there, I would prefer not to have to go through them all manually .... any advice please ?
    Regards Roger

    Thanks Jon ... here's a link to a screen grab:

  • Memory leak in java / forcing garbage collection for unused resource?

    Is there any possibility in big programs if not designed properly for leakage of memory?
    If say i forget to force garbage collection of unused resouces what will happen?
    Even if i am forcing garbage collection how much assurity can be given to do so?
    I need answers w.r.t typical programming examples if someone can provide i will be happy.
    Or any useful link.
    Thanks
    Vijendra

    Memory leaks are usually much related with C/C++ programming since in that language you have direct access to memory using pointers.
    Now, in Java you do not have access to pointers, however you could still tie up your objects in a way that the garbage collection can not remove them.
    Basically, the grabage collection will search all the object implementation, and see if they are referenced or not. If not it will free that memory. However if you, somehow in you code allow a reference to your object then the garbage collection will not displose of that object.
    An example I can think of is when developing web applications. For example storing objects in the session will mean that you will have a reference to the object from the session, therefore the garbage collection will not free up the meomry taken by those objects untill the session has expired.
    That is how I know it... at least that is how they tought it to me!

  • What can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips he operation could not be completed.  *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil

    what can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips in Imovie 09 "the operation could not be completed.  *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil"  I use to get these type of error messages when trying to delete unsused clips from a large event 60 minutes or longer, but now I get this message when trying to reduce a 4 minute event.
    Also, does anyone know if there is a limit to the total amount of space that can be taken up by Projects in Imovie 09
    Thanks for any help

    Zachy,
    It goes something like this...
    Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
    Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

  • Deleting unused hyperlink destinations

    Is there a quick way of identifying then deleting unused hyperlink destinations? I have a large document with hundreds of links which are constantly being changed and updated. Is there a way I can automatically select unused destinations and delete them (in the same way as you might do in a colour or styles palette for example). It's not essential but it would be good housekeeping! InDesign 5.0.3

    control/delete (asks...are you sure??) deletes the files of the drive. just hitting delete, them takes them off the audio file list.

    Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

  • How to delete unused audio files in a project?

    Hi guys,
    The question is fairly simple:
    How to delete unused audio files in a project?
    I can't manage to find the answer in the manual,... all I could find is how to delete audio outside used regions!
    But in the projects I use, I have loads of outtakes which I don't use in the project anymore, and now, I would like to delete them of the audio folder to save space on the HD.
    Can Logic select automatically the takes in the audio files folder which are not used in the project and delete them??
    Because there is hundreds of audio files per project, and +/- 50 projects, I just can't do it manually.
    Thanks,
    Fred

    Whoops! Yes, I knew that but a cow flew by... Sorry!
    The procedure I follow is to do what I described then Save as Project, creating a project folder. That way only the required audio is saved to the folder and I delete all temporary stuff. However, if you have folders with shared material, it's much harder and would require you to go through all your projects doing Save as Project before you could delete your old working folder.
    When doing day to day work, best practice is to create a new folder and only use Save as Project when you're working on stuff. Shared material (eg sample libraries etc) can go elsewhere and you can get Logic to copy those to the project folder automatically.
    Otherwise, Shift-Backspace in the Audio window, as you rightly say

  • How do I delete a link in the link panel?

    I have moved an item out of the links folder on a project I am working on in IDCC and when opening the project it tells me, rightly, that a link is missing. When I go to the links panel I see the alert that the linked item is missing, which I know, and I want to delete the link in the links panel but see no option to do this, also the delete key does nothing when the item is highlighted, and right-click (^ click) offer no delete choice either. How can I delete this item in the links panel?
    TIA,
    Ken

    Amazing how the hot weather has affected me. Thank You Peter - so logical - I missed it while thinking of 15 other elements and a hurried deadline...

  • How to delete dead links

    Hello
    I would like to delete dead links in a PDF document. I use Visual C++ to create my code and generate an API plug-in for Acrobat 8. Can you give me a sample code to do it.
    Thanks
    David

    You are going to need to examine the Cos object for each link and see
    whether it meets your requirements of "dead" (which you've really just
    moved to "invalid destination" - when is a destination invalid?)
    The PDF Reference describes the types of PDF actions. There are more
    than you think, and some (JavaScript) virtually defy analysis. In
    broad terms the plug-in would call PDDocGetPage / PDPageRelease for
    each page in turn, then iterate through the Annots objects. There is a
    PDAnnot API, but going to the Cos API is likely to be needed in the
    end.
    Be sure to use an error handler so you never miss PDPageRelease, even
    if there is an error in the PDF: this is very important.

  • Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos??

    Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos?

    This is book # 13 and I've not encountered this problem before. I am dragging photos into the sourse pane but they are not imported. I have other books w/ over 700  pics (not all used) but this has only 300+ so far. I've copied the book to a pdf and it looks as if I'll have to redo it unless there's another solution.

  • HOW TO Delete Unused Media from FINAL CUT PRO

    *HOW TO DELETE UNUSED MEDIA FROM HARD DRIVE IN FINAL CUT PRO.* Keywords: disk disc drive space remove compressor
    SUMMARY:
    Say your original clip is 10 gigs, you can use only what you need and delete the rest from your hard drive. I know people on the forums say to just buy another hard drive, NO! It took 2 days to figure out but here it is!!! Email me if needed at [email protected]
    QUESTION:
    I captured 1 hour of video at a time and now want to delete from my hard drive all the parts I don’t want to use. I have 300GB of junk on my hard drive and I only want to use a few scenes using a few megabytes, so that I'll get most of my 300GB back!!!!
    ANSWER:
    In final cut on Mac, click on one small clip (to get familiar with process), go to “file”, “export”, then “using compressor”. This will open compressor software. Your file will open in the left top window. Then you need to batch the job or jobs. IMPORTANT: I’ve also solved the Compressor problem when you press “submit” to a batch and it states “Cluster: None”. Search forum for “In compressor you experience what I have”.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Part of the problem could lie in the fact it's an imovie project coming into FCP, wouldn't rule that out. Second my be the terms you use and what you expect to happen. For example, a subclip is just a smaller clip subbed from a larger clip. It has nothing to do with media management. But you can media manage a subclip and delete the unused media.
    Try this (be sure to back up the original clip first). take a long clip into the viewer, make an IN and OUT duration of like 30 frames and then subclip that, Modify > Make Subclip. a new subclip will appear in the browser with a torn clip icon and the name Subclip. Right click on the subclip and choose Media Manager.... Check the Delete unused media from duplicated clip. As you toggle that the green Modified bar at the top change from the full clip size to a tiny modified size. If it does not then one of two things ... user error or the system is screwed up. That's the easiest way to test media manager.

  • Deleting unused media in Media Manager not working

    This is one of those cases where I get really frustrated with Apple...
    I've captured some footage from VHS using 'capture now', and the media that was created has a bunch of blank frames at the beginning and end. I'd like to remove the excess media from the clip to save space.
    I'm following the directions EXACTLY as shown in the section "Creating Independent Media Files From Subclips After Capturing" from the Final Cut Pro User Manual on page 377 selecting subclips I want to keep and using Media Manager to delete unused media, but my media hasn't gotten any smaller, and the blank frames in the original media are still there if I reconnect it.
    Furthermore, I've tried using media manager to copy the referenced media (from a subclip) to a new clip, and it just copies the whole file.
    How can I get rid of this excess waste of space!!?

    Well, does this footage have timecode? A REEL number? If you captured as NON-CONTROLLED device the footage might not have timecode, and without timecode the Media Manager cannot track exactly what you want to remove...what footage you want set aside and copied as the rest is deleted. This is also the case if you don't have a reel number. You might have 5 clips all with the same starting timecode but no reel number.
