Why is Illustrator adding a slash to the beginning of all my exported artboard image file names?

When ever I export my artboards as JPGs for my client to view Illustrator has recently started adding a slash to the front of the file name.
For example, until a recent update my files would look like this when I exported them. As one would expect:
artboard_image_01.jpg
artboard_image_02.jpg
artboard_image_03.jpg
and so on...
But now when I export it does this, even though there is no slash in the file name:
/artboard_image_01.jpg
/artboard_image_02.jpg
/artboard_image_03.jpg
and so on...
I'm using Illustrator CC 2014 on a Mac running Yosemite 10.10
Any thoughts? It's really annoying and driving me crazy.

I noticed it immediately after updating to the latest version release of Illustrator CC, so I don't think it's the OS. If I need to step back to an older version I will, but I hoped there was a fix.

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help?

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help? Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

Thanks for your response. My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging. Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them. Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement. I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past. However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices). I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space. I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me. I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether. Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

I have a similar problem which i did not have before...and it exists only in some powerpoint files which i want to print as a pdf file...and i get the same message as above.
the log says the bellow details...what's the problem and how can i resolve it? thanks.

Error "The IPod cannot be synched. A duplicate file name was specified"

When I drag a song from my ITunes library to my Nano, an error pops up that says "The IPod cannot be synched. A duplicate file name was specified." I've read on other boards that I should delete the IToner bundle, but there is no IToner bundle in ITunes plug ins, just a Quartz Composer Visualizer. ANy suggestions on how to keep the error message from popping up every time I add a song?

Drag the song from Library to the playlist window then drag it to Devices instead of directly from the Library.

How do I call image file names from MySQL & display the image?

Hello everyone,
I have image file names (not the full URL) stored in a MySQL database. The MySQL database is part of MAMP 1.7 and I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac Book Pro.
I would like to create a catalog page using thumbnails, and PayPal buttons displayed within a table, in rows. With the image centered and the PayPal button directly underneath the image.
How do I use PHP to call the thumbnail images as an image not the file name, to be displayed in the table?
Thanks in advance.

Open the Insert Image dialog box in the normal way, and navigate to the folder that contains the images. Then copy to your clipboard the value in the URL field, and click the Data Sources button. The following screenshot was taken in the Windows version, but the only difference is that Data Sources is a radio button at the top of the dialog box in Windows. It's a button at the bottom in the Mac:
After selecting Data Sources, select the image field from the approriate recordset. Then put your cursor in the URL field and paste in the path that you copied to your clipboard earlier.

Adding image file name and logo to image

Can you do batch processing of images to automatically insert the image file name, say at the bottom along with a logo, in black font. The logo stays constant but the image deatils will change with each image?
Can this be done in Lightroom or then the full Photoshop?
Thanks!

I've taken the script mentioned above and modified it to the best of my abilities. Still getting the same error, unfortunately:
function main(){
var suffix ="cropped";
var docPath =Folder("~/Desktop");
if(!docPath.exists){
   alert(docPath + " does not exist!\n Please create it!");
   return;
var fileName =activeDocument.name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
var fileExt =activeDocument.name.toLowerCase().match(/[^\.]+$/).toString();
var saveFile = new File(docPath +"/"+fileName+suffix+'.'+fileExt);
switch (fileExt){
   case 'jpeg' : SaveJPEG(saveFile); break;
   default : alert("Unknown filetype please use manual save!"); break;
if(documents.length) main();
function SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality; //1-12
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);

Nicola,
I am sorry but we do not have an example for "Save the Overlay Figures and Text in an Image File" for CVI. Currently, you are going to need to use Window's API calls in order to get this functionality.

Why won't my emails come through the message I get is cannot get mail username or password incorrect yet they are right

Hi, 1crispycracker.
Thank you for the question. The easiest way to troubleshoot this issue would be to delete the account and add it back to the iOS device. Below, I have included two e-mail troubleshooting articles. The first article covers basic email troubleshooting. The second article will assist you if the email account you are experiencing issues with is a Gmail account.

Why do videos always start over from the beginning? A bug??

Hi,
I just did the update and still have the same issue where videos always start from the beginning, when I WANT them to start where they left off. I went into Settings>Video>Start Playing and selected "Where Left Off", but that didn't help. Is this a bug?? I want it to act as it did on my 3G where I can exit the middle of a video and it will start from that point next time I enter the video... Any ideas???

I have the same problem, not only with videos but with my playlist as well. Everything seems to restart from the beginning.

Adding a theme to the beginning of a slide show

I created a slideshow in IPHOTO and sent it to IDVD+6. I picked out the theme "kids showtime" and tried to add it to the beginning of the slide show. It has one drop zone. I put one photo in the zone. When I preview-the theme plays over and over. I want it to play once and then have the slide show start. Any help would be appreciated.

Any theme that has motion and music will repeat. No way to stop it after one cycle. And there's no way to automatically start the slideshow, unless you put it in the Autoplay well in Map... I don't think you want to do that.

Why does iPhoto import new events at the beginning of the events?f

When I import photos from a camera of from a hard drive, iPhoto '11 places the new untitled event near , not at the beginning, of the chronological events list. Is there a remedy for this?

You can change that via the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Descending menu option.
