AppleScript: Dialog box

• View of the AppleScript dialog box not turn

  Hello

  I have the following Applescript, defined as the first step of a folder automator action.  When the two files in the folder, a display dialog box is supposed to pop up.  It works, but for some reason that the dialog box is not selected, so I have to click on it first, before I can enter data.  It's tedious because I use a scanner barcoder and want him to be able to enter information in the dialog box without clicking each time.  Any ideas as to what is wrong?

  Thank you!

• "Without dialog boxes open" AppleScript always show some of the dialogues

  I'm opening, running a script and save a long series of files via an applescript script. (see the important part of the script below) Works very well, but I still get the occasional dialog box when a file is missing a linked picture or if I get an error "not enough memory to open illustration."

  Is it possible to add a timer for the dialog boxes that pop up, so they automatically cancel themselves out.

  Is it possible to remove errors (if they are not seen as dialog boxes)?

  Thank you

• ExtendScript Toolkit is identical to native InDesign dialog boxes?

  Please excuse the absolute level novice question, but I didn't know where to go. The Options of UI Scripting under Featured Content (http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1025) refers to native InDesign dialogs, which are described as easier to create. As a result, I thought it would be the best UI for a beginner. However, I can't find anything with that name ID 5. Is it the same thing as the ExtendScript Toolkit, or it refers to something else? Also, can I use JavaScript in InDesign native dialogues/ExtendScript Toolkit or only AppleScript? Since JavaScript seems more versatile, I prefer to start with this.

  Thank you very much

  Neil

  Neil,

  The ExtendScript Toolkit is a programming environment, i.e. an application to write and debug scripts in, that's all (it is for JavaScript only). You can use different applications, notebook, because the JavaScript scripts are plain text files. The Toolbox JUST makes life a little easier (in the versions other than CS4 InDesign).

  The native InDesign dialogues are part of the InDesign object model, they can be used only in the InDesign scripting. Script UI dialog boxes can be used in other CS applications as well. I do not accept that the native InDesign dialogs are easier to implement than ScriptUI ones. I was happy when ScriptUI came and I could let the native dialog boxes. ScriptUI is much more versatile than the InDesign dialogs. Another advantage of ScriptUI is that there is good support for it in this forum, with dialogue of InDesign, you're pretty much on your own. ScriptUI can be used with JavaScript. See http://tinyurl.com/25thymh for an introduction (which assumes knowledge of JavaScript).

• Unable to select the file in the dialog box in the Sierra

  I'm unable to select an image file in the "save for Web" in the finder window "save under" in Photoshop CC running on the Sierra.

  There are times where I need to save a new image using a similar name by selecting the existing file, which matches the name in the dialog box "save under".

  The use of Photoshop CC in Sierra I am unable to do so due to the inability to select the existing files in the Save-as the finder window.

  I thought at first that was Adobe, but later, I noticed that I can not save for web browsers and other programs. I installed the beta updates on Sierra, but also which did not set. I hope be fixed so I can move on to Sierra. It was not such a problem in previous versions.

  Unfortunately, your discovery is correct. I just met for the first time. I was shocked, but apparently it will work in list view. View miniature not a reason any.

• Save file dialog box can't name.

  Hello!

  I've updated 5 macs in my household to Mac OS Sierra. Mac Mini, two retina Macbook and iMac 5K. None of them are able to pick up existing file name when you try to save a file. I used to be able to click on a file on my disk and it entered the name of the file in the Save dialog box, but the entry in the right field remains empty and I have to write the name of the file manually. Really frustrating when just in collaboration with revisions and you want to change the last number in the file name.

  Anyone else experienced this and maybe have a fix?

  Thanks in advance.

  Tom

  Your message has caused me to try this using two different applications (Apple Pages) and overview of the MacOS.  In both cases, when I open an existing file, his name came up in the center of the window.  Also, when I did a "Save" or "Save...". "this file name was introduced as the default name. in other words, a backup would just replace the existing file.

  The behavior you describe is clearly based on what application you are using.  You did not specify which application could be.

• Java SDK (new) dialog box

  Hello my fellow partners Mac!

  This seems to be a common problem, whenever we have a new version of Mac OS, but I can't, from my POV, find the right solution.

  Every two hours or when waking from sleep, a dialog box appears telling me to install a Java Development Kit. As I said, this has happened many times before when you Google, but I can't find someone who offers you a solution where you don't need to install the JDK. It seems that the only solution is to succumb to the demand of the dialog box.

  In my case (and this may vary, I'm not sure), it is the launchd process that requires it. But I can't go further than in my knowledge of the OS. I tried to delete all the files about kinds of Java and have looked everywhere for stuff that could trigger this, I deleted LauchDeamons, LaunchAgents, all related to Java I could remove in / System / * and (~)/Library/* etcetera, etcetera, but this dialog box keeps popping up, so something ask and I cannot understand what it is.)

  

  What I need, is not install Java. I don't like, and I think that it is an old and dangerous technology. I want to just get rid of it all once and for all (and if all goes well, without having to reinstall everything form scratch).

  Anyone can shed some light on this? It's the system itself that think I need this, or is there a way I can dig deeper to understand what triggers it?

  See you soon,.

  The operating system does not use Java in some way. You have installed software that only requires Java, but it must also be Java 6 legacy published by Apple (and abandoned) years.

  If you don't want to install Java, you must determine what software you have installed which requires Java and remove it. From what I've seen here, it's generally Adobe software that appears to have been poorly coded to only use the Apple of Java 6.

• small problem with the printer dialog box

  I recently added a Brother printer to my IMac and ran into a minor problem.  When I put in place using my WiFi and AirPrint, the dialog box has a convenient box for the black and white that I was able to check in one easy-to-replace step and just print in color.  However, the alarm time and the answer is a bit slow.  So, I then plugged a cable and add this version of the printer.  Now the box is missing and nothing I've been able to do, to delete and add new printer allowed me to bring that?  Any ideas on how I can get this feature practice appears in the dialog box with the printer connected to the cable?  Thank you.

  If I understand correctly, you have now two entries separated for this printer to Print & Scan? It's OK, although AirPrint is better for various reasons.

  I understand the printer takes an unacceptable amount of time to wake up to when choosing the AirPrint printer, and you want to avoid this.

  If you have added a separate entrance - one for the USB printer connected - how who you? Did you leave the print & Scan install this printer automatically on its own, or did you download and install a driver of brother separately?

• Showing the full path of the file in the Save as dialog box

  I'm a relatively new for MAC OS and I took the habit of intelligent services on Microsoft file manipulation, in particular to the Save as dialog box. Who has a little smart "arrows" and "buttons" allowing you to ask around the system of files easily, but I faced something else in the MAC operating system.

  Finally, I was able to pass on the path of file bar in the Finder (basically, that nice, small bar with the name of folders/sub-sub-sub-folders you can switch to and it shows "where you are both in the file system"), but I don't miss the Save as dialog box. I tried to find it in the settings to turn it on, scoured the internet, talked with experts at Apple, also called the central phone number, but I couldn't learn all solutions to get the bar path of file under tension to the Save as dialog box.

  And believe me, it's very annoying, when you create a file structure when you register under ' week/Tuesday/XY client Documents/work/approvals/journal/2016/August/2nd /' a file and for the recording of the version changed the same file under the same path, but not to not only return to the file a subfolder creation there AB of the customer, I have to click again through the whole lot.

  The arrows 'story' don't help because when I click on the it puts me directly to record under the folder where I have the last recorded the previous file, or help click on the drop-down above, where records are listed because I could never find the subfolder where I want to go back to there.

  Are there solutions to get the path of file under tension to the Save dialog box under?

  Or is there a plan to get it in the new version of the operating system?

  It is the same on the open file dialog box...

  ..., and I don't want to keep a Finder opens just to copy..., on the way to the record, which was the same effort and has been even more professional!

  I would like to just turn this simple file path bar,..., even that which is available in the Finder!

  Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks for sharing your thoughts in advance, Ian

• Dialog box unwanted when deleting e-mail

  10.11.6 OS

  When choosing to delete an email I introduced choice dialog box i.e. [BACK, STOP, OPEN IN DASHBOARD..., PRINT the PAGE...]

  Thank you

  Never seen that before. How do you delete the e-mail? I simply select it, hit delete key, and it goes.

  Do you have any third-party software that modifies the Mail?

• Why do I get, every 5 minutes or so, an error code "the Script is not responding" dialog box?

  The dialog box indicates, "a script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding."
  Script: http://cdn.doubleverity.com/avs484.js:48. »

  Http: / / different addresses appear on different instances of the dialog box.

  What can I do to remedy this kind of mistake?

  DoubleVerify (http://www.doubleverify.com/) looks like an advertising company. It is possible that there is a glitch in their script, or that it is in conflict with an add-on.

  Are other random errors or can you find a special patron of servers or similar server names?

  A common cause of errors in script does not work on Windows 7 is the feature of mode of the Flash player plugin. This feature has the security benefits, but it seems to have serious compatibility problems on some systems. You can disable it using the page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, find 'Shockwave Flash' and click on the link for more. Then uncheck the box for "Enable Adobe Flash protected mode" and try it for a day to see if that helps you.

  More generally, our support article might have some useful advice: script is unresponsive warning - what it means and how to fix it.

• The dialog box to create a submap appears, but the submap is not installed

  Hello
  I select a map in the e-mail section and in the file menu that I choose to create a submap.
  The dialog box is displayed, I learn the name of the submap, then click to create, the dialog box closes but any submap is created.

  Thanks in advance for a quick response.

  Roman.

  If you are using an IMAP e-mail account, and you create a subfolder, you will have to 'register' to actually see this folder.

  Try this:
  Right-click on the name of the e-mail account, and then select 'subscribe '.
  You should see a list of folders and subfolders.
  Select the subfolder, and then click OK.

• MP3s used to play in a new tab on middle mouse click. It now shows a save/open with dialog box. How to play n record mp3 if I want to?

  Previous links to files mp3 used to get opened and played in a new tab by pressing the click way/scroll button. Like played mp3 I had an option to record the audio. After a reinstall of my OS (currently on Win 7 Professional 32 bits) and Firefox 41.0.1, I'm not able to do the same. Middle mouse click now opens a new tab and a dialog box open with - or save - as. There is no automatic playback. I would like to have the old function of Firefox. I don't know if my OS has installed SP and I am not able to install OS updates at the moment. Are there settings to do or a particular version of firefox to install to get what I want? I'm just an average user with a bit of computer know how. Thanks in advance.

• How can I replace the mime types of server, always get the mp3, rar, sid, bin files directly in the dialog box "where do you want to save this file?"

  I used to be able to click on MP3 files, the way back when, and Firefox asks where I wanted to save. Nowadays, it opens a new tab with a flash drive.
  By clicking on the "unknown" files, like .sid, .prg, .zip, .rar is ' this is a BIN file. [Cancel] [Save] ». It does not give me a check box for "always do this".
  I would like that option to edit so that certain types of files, such as PDF, regardless of mimetype, always get opened in a new tab if you click. Also some types of files, based on the extension, always go directly to the dialog box "Where you want to save the file?", without worrying if there is a viewer or a builtin player or not. In my Firefox (41.0.1 14.04LTS 32-bit Ubuntu) I have never the choice "do this for these files always" more.
  Googling led me to delete my file mimeTypes.rdf and since file extensions can even "well known", such as .zip, are treated as BIN files and I get the box Cancel-or-Save for those too - again without the choice of "always save the BIN files.

  These files are send as Content-Type: application/octet-stream and Content-Disposition: attachment;
  To send files in this way, you cannot save an automatic action.
  You can see that in network monitor.
