Where is the location for filter plugin dialog in AI CS4?

Hello All,
Im using CS4. In CS4 SDK sample projects, "Tutorial" is a filter type plugin and I want to test this plugin.
Project is compiled fine and plugin created. Placed this plugin in plugins folder of AI.
and then started AI. The Tutorial plugin is showing under Object -> Filter -> SDK -> Tutorial
I have clicked on "Tutorial" plugin in filters menu. A dialog is opened. set the some parameters in the UI and then clicked on OK.
The dialog is disappeared after OK button clicked.
now, how can I get the same ("Tutorial") dialog again? Where can I see the "Tutorial" dialog in AI?
Just like if we apply a 3d Rotate effect, then the 3D Rotate effect dialog is visible under Appearance Panel. If we want to change the settings, we can click on "3D Rotate" in Appearance panel, then 3D Rotate dialog will be opned.
Please tell me.

Depending on what your filter does (namely, if it leaves an effect or if it just modifies the art) it may leave an entry in the Appearance panel. This is usually for 'Effects' not filters though the distinction is a little blurry. One of the reasons they took out the Filters menu in CS4 is because most 'filters' were in fact just art operations and better suited to be placed as menuitems in more appropriate places. Effects are really bits of code that get fired when necessary on art to modify their representation on the page based on parameters.
If you're just doing something to art once (like simplifying the art, or reflecting the art) then you're not an effect. If that's the case, you can just create a menuitem anywhere you feel is right if you don't want to be locked into Object > Filter. Being a filter doesn't actually give you much advantage anymore. You might just want to create a menuitem, respond to it and do your work. Filters come with baggage like filter parameters and 'fire last filter' and whatnot, and frankly, that's being phased out. Its more a Photoshop concept shoehorned into Illustrator.

  • Where is the location of the default package?

    I'm using jdk1.6.0_14. There is a folder src. I guess the folder contains all the default package. And I try to delete the src folder, and then compile and run a simple program:
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class TesImport {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
              System.out.println(s.nextDouble());
    }...but it still work... Actually, where is the location of the default package?
    Really need your help.
    Thanks

    Eclipse defaults to thisSince I'm using maven, I really like the default structure of files there:

One of the things Maven-haters moan about is that it enforces it's own directory structure on you, which quite apart from not being not true, isn't a bad thing anyway. That structure is a pretty sensible default

  • SSIS Connection Manager: MSOLAP100 where is the one for SSAS 2012 ?

    I have an SSIS project under SSDT, that should process a SSAS 2012 Cube, when I setup the connection, the SSIS Connection Manager gives me only MSOLAP100 as a possible connection manager type. From my understanding this is the one for SQL 2008 R2. Where
    is the one for SSAS 2012 and how can I enable it ?
    I feel this is a bug in SSDT:
    I used another UI dialog and could create a new connection like this:
    Still it says ConnectionManagerType MSOLAP100, however in the connection string I now have Provider=MSOLAP.5, this seems to be another SSDT bug.

    If this issue can be reproduced in multiple machines, then you can you can submit a feedback at
    http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is released in the next release of service pack or product.

  • What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.  Thanks

    As per adobe agent chat representative, the following question is posted on the fórum to obtain an answe from adobe.
    What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.
    Thanks
    <moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

    Illustrator is not working as it should...
    I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application. 
    Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
    Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
    That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
    Thanks...
    PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • Where is the location of Adobe Connect server?

    Where is the location of Adobe Connect Server?
    At the moment we are experiencing too much delay.
    It seems that Adobe connect server is not around Korea ,Japan nor China.
    That's just my guess.
    Is there any specialist who can give me the right answer for the locations of Adobe Connect server?

    Depending on which cluster you have an account on they can be in a few locations in the US,  Canada (I think) or Western Europe. Adobe doesn't have a hosted cluster in APAC, so it is likely that you are seeing lag due to communications to a server in the Western US.

  • Where is the OIL Paint Filter in CC 2014?  why the heck would they remove it?

    Where is the OIL Paint Filter in CC 2014?  why the heck would they remove it?

    You will find the Oil Painting Filter in Photoshop CC.  It has been taken out of Photoshop CC 2014. 
    So if you have Lightroom Creative Cloud, you should have both Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014. 
    I have been looking for it for 4 days now, and I just found it.  I am so happy.
