Ability to share scripts among users on the same Mac

Hello

In our design studio, we use InDesign with some scripts to automate tasks. The problem is that when a change of users from one Mac to another, scripts must be installed manually in the correct location. Is it possible that I can put the scripts in a folder (say/use/share/Indesign_Scripts") and that Indesign always uses this place?

For now, I copied the scripts in the user model in / etc, but this doesn't always work because some users use different language settings (en_GB-> en_US)

Hello

Shortcuts are good, even if some people are getting lost in front of alerts "Cannot find the original file"..., but not in Design Studio, I'm sure.

I tried another way that works, so there is no reason to keep this hide.

3 types of scripts:

-----------------------

1 - simple one is placed in the 'Startup Scripts' folder of each user:

It looks like this:

#targetengine "menu"
var myScPath = "~/Shared/Scripts/Studio_menu.jsx";
     if (File (myScPath).exists)
                  app.doScript(File(myScPath));
     else alert ("No network file find..., or whatever alert");

-----------------------

2nd is menu loader (' Studio_menu.jsx), so this one 1 script calls while ID begins.

It looks like this: (thanks to Marc Autret)

#targetengine "Scripts"

var fcaTitle = "Scripts";          // name (parent menu item) displayed in ID menu
var fcaSubTitle1 = "&Task1";     // name (name of script) displayed in ID menu
var fcaSubTitle2 = "&Task2";    // name (name of script) displayed in ID menu

var fcaHandlers1 = {
          'beforeDisplay' : function(ev1)
                    {
          mySc1Path = "~/Shared/Scripts/Task1.jsx";     // script, executor of task 1
          ev1.target.enabled = File(mySc1Path).exists;
                    },

          'onInvoke' : function()
                    {
                    app.doScript(File(mySc1Path));
                    }
          };

var fcaHandlers2 = {
          'beforeDisplay' : function(ev2)
                    {
          mySc1Path = "~/Shared/Scripts/Task2.jsx";     // script, executor of task 2

          // conditions to enable/disable menu item
          ev2.target.enabled = File(mySc2Path).exists && app.documents.length > 0 && app.activeDocument.saved;
                    },

          'onInvoke' : function()
                    {
                    app.doScript(File(mySc2Path));
                    }
          }

var fcaMenuInstaller = fcaMenuInstaller ||
(function(mnuTitle, mnuSubTitle1, mnuSubTitle2, mnuHandlers1, mnuHandlers2)
{
// 1. Create the script menu action

var s1mnuAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add(mnuSubTitle1);
var s2mnuAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add(mnuSubTitle2);

// 2. Attach the event listener
var ev1, ev2;
for( ev1 in mnuHandlers1 )
          {
          s1mnuAction.eventListeners.add(ev1,mnuHandlers1[ev1]);
          }
for( ev2 in mnuHandlers2 )
          {
          s2mnuAction.eventListeners.add(ev2,mnuHandlers2[ev2]);
          }

// 3. Create the menu item
var fileMenu = app.menus.item("$ID/Main").submenus.item("$ID/&Help");  // new menu item's location

var SubMenu = fileMenu.submenus.add(mnuTitle,LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING);     // where
var SubMenu1 = SubMenu.menuItems.add(s1mnuAction,LocationOptions.AT_END);
var SubMenu2 = SubMenu.menuItems.add(s2mnuAction,LocationOptions.AT_END);

return true;
})(fcaTitle, fcaSubTitle1, fcaSubTitle2, fcaHandlers1, fcaHandlers2);

---------------------

3rd are the real script files placed somewhere in the network (mySc1Path1, mySc1Path2)

Users call scripts in the menu.

Admin, updates them easly.

Is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

Hello world!

Quick question here: is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

I have two users say that A and B. If I go the long way via the 'Go' menu > 'Computer', I ended up being told to contact my computer or the network administrator for assistance. Both users are admin one and file sharing is allowed in system preferences... I have to admit that I use 10.9.5 because my MacBook Pro would not work with OS Xs national parks.

Any ideas would be cool because I'm sure that it used to work fine with "Snow Leopard" without being connected to the internet - or should I just send an email to myself and recover the files on the other user :-) to recover my USB is

Choose go to folder from the Finder Go menu, provide/Users/Shared/as the path and place the files.

Libraries to share with one another in the same Mac OSX

My mac has several partitions with different OSXs.

Can I share itunes libraries I made in an OSX with itunes in the other OSXs in PC?

Home sharing work in the end? Do I have to allow the Internet to itunes.app in order?

And supplementary question is, if the above is possible, which is for sharing rules, IE. a library, X, in the itunes of the score has nothing and another library, Y, in the partition of another itunes music title A, B, C, then, what happens when they share libraries? Music tracks A, B, C will be added to X, or all titles there must be gone for nothing?

Note:

Versions of iTunes I use are mainly ver11 and ver12 and operating system versions that I use are mainly 10.6 and 10.8.

Direct access to the library is only possible if all versions of iTunes are identical.

Home sharing works only between two or more computers that are running on the same network.

Sharing a VM between users on the same Mac

I'm trying to share the VM between users on my Mac. I followed KB1005196 instructions to change the permissions of the beam and move to the shared folder.
The machine works well on the main account, but the other user account get the following error:
Could not open the file "/ users/shared/Virtual Machines.localized / Windows XP Proessional 2.vmwarevm/Windows XP Professional 2.vmdk ': insufficient permission to access file.
I am running OS 10.6.5
VMWARE 3.1.2 (332101)
Thank you

Hmmm, okay let's try to change the permissions once. This time, we will also change the permissions on the entire virtual computers folder.

Simply copy and paste each order one directly into the Terminal. Please make sure that you do this under the account mattebury on your computer.

chmod 777 users/shared/Virtual\ Machines.localized
chmod-r 777 users/shared/Virtual\ Machines.localized

If you type this in manually and not copy and paste, please make sure that the R - is a capital R, not a lower case a.

This will change the permissions on everything in and including the virtual computers folder.

IMac is not able to share multimedia files with multiple users on the same computer.

We just bought a new IMac that we were very excited. We have phones Apple and iPads, replacement and ten year with a new Mac old PC made since.

Now, the trouble begins. For more than ten years Windows had several usernames on the same machine and have been able to have a shared folder only for music, pictures and video that my iTunes program and others could acsess and share from several user names. This kept all in one place for new photos families by me or my wife and our 30 gigabytes of music that comes from our CDs was available at bolt of us. Now in train to implement on IMac should be easy but is impossible. after transferring the music to my login information, it cannot acsess all files on my login. I am not even able to share or provide his acsess. I can move the iTunes folder to my shared folder. She can get acsess now but iTunes says that the library file is locked. I worked with care from Apple on the phone for that sold, but they believe it will not be possible without creating two copies of the 30 gigabytes of music for each of us. who would take more hard drive when it failed too. Sharing is not any help. These files were before iTunes. I'm not pay 30 dollars a month to store in icloudcor use a google reader slow to the Internet connection when everything's fine here. Apparently Applow programmers do not believe in sharing of multimedia files between two users on the same device, even if a PC does that very well. My choice here is so far have duplicates of all the photos, music and videos loaded on the disc for me and my wife, charge all the media for an external hard drive which for some reason any all Apple programs will share, or return the mac to another PC that will be able to make several connections with sharing music and photos. Apple if you are reading this you are 10 years behind on that. Not everyone is born in the last five years and bought their music on iTunes to be able to use home sharing. Home sharing cannot help this. your applications should be able to be told to use the media files shared without import copies to readers of the user. I am very disappointed. Someone else has any ideas for that? I have pictures, not iPhoto. I have a week more to be able to return it. I'm not interested in making a fake account that is always connected to share or maintaining of me constantly connected. It should have been easy, I had to be happy to play with new software.

Photos, iPhoto and iTunes libraries must appear on an external hard drive that is formatted as shown below to be used by multiple users on the same Mac:

So get a properly formatted external HD and move your iPhoto/pictures of her as well as your iTunes library. This way all your iMac users can access and use both libraries.

An alternative to the external HD method is to partition your internal hard drive into two partitions, one for libraries. It is formatted as shown above and be large enough to contain the libraries and allow the expansion of libraries.

Can someone tell me if it is possible to share/copy the content start and the tile layout with multiple users on the same shelf?

Hello

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to share or copy the content start and available to tile with multiple users. However, you can rearrange the tiles and select the content to be displayed manually on each of the user accounts.

Is it possible to set up for multiple users on the same computer to avoid entering the email and password every time that a new user want to check emails?

Hello

Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. According to the description, you need help in the creation of multiple user accounts. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.

What is the operating system installed on the computer?

User accounts, several people can easily share a single computer. Each person can have a separate user account with unique settings and preferences, such as a screen saver or desktop background. User accounts control files and programs users can access and what types of changes users can make to the computer. As a general rule, you'll want to create standard accounts for most computer users.

How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in the folder of the user on the same PC (new), in Firefox?

How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in the folder of the user on the same PC (new), in Firefox? I exported my old PC Firefox bookmarks in a folder [Windows 8] on my new PC.
When I use the ease of importing from Firefox, it will only import a bookmark at a time - and then it inserts the bookmarks all the main pages on the site marked with a bookmark, not just the one I initially put bookmark. Also, it does not matter the information stored in the bookmark tag.

Sure thing.
1. Open the dialog box run by pressing the Windows key by pressing R
2. Type of %appdata% in the immediate window and press ok
3. Open the Mozilla folder
4. Open the folder of Firefox
5. Open the profiles folder
6. Copy the folder that is located in this folder on a USB
7. Install and run Firefox on the new computer
8. Closing of Firefox
9. Repeat steps 1 to 5 on the new computer
10. Open the folder that you copied from your old computer
11. Copy the contents of this folder into the folder inside the folder of the profile on the new computer
12. Allow Windows to replace all records in doubles with those you are copying to the computer is prompted

Two users on the same PC. How to run the application even for two users at the same time?

Hello friends,

I have two user accounts on my pc. Is it possible to run the same application (for example: DEFRAG or disc cleanup utlities) for two users at the same time? I mean, these utlilities work by all of the computer or user account? That would mean the same application to perform for a single user in the background and foreground to the user, or I'm totally lost in space?

Thank you for your comments

You should run Disk Cleanup in each user account. Do not try to shut it down or change user when defragmentation; system files may be damaged. You must stop the defragmentation, log off, restart the defragmentation and don't really no point for it. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
