• RH8 - the names of Image files

  Greetings,

  In a generated project, created in the RH8, when the user hovers over an image, name of file screens. I checked the properties of the image and screen Tip text field is empty.

  How can I prevent the name of the image file to display in the generated project?

  Thank you

  Hello

  When you look at the generated code, what do you see? Is there a Title attribute or an Alt attribute? You didn't say what was the output type. What WebHelp? If so, have you turned on Section 508 options when you generated? (Part of being compatible with Section 508 is to give images corresponding names)

  See you soon... Rick

• How 2 change the name of image, including its .xmp file?

  How 2 change the name of image, including its .xmp file?

  I suppose that if I change image file name, the file '.xmp' that accompanies it will no longer an appropriate reference to associate. Also, I guess I can just simply change the name of the image file and give its eponymous .xmp. That means, for example, if I have:

  "This1stPhotoOfJane.dng" and "This1stPhotoOfJane.xmp"

  and change their names manually:

  "JanePhoto1.dng" and "JanePhoto1.xmp"

  It would not work.

  So is the simple way to do it?

  I have a bunch of files that I forgot to name who have already gone through the raw editor and now I would like to give them a real name as opposed to a single series of numbers they currently have.

  You should be able to bridge, since by default, the file of the side car is hidden. I think he knows enough to rename both.

  Copy the image and the file in a temporary folder, rename it and check that it actually did. If I myself remember copy or film a raw file would also move or copy the file, then it would be a good time to check that as well.

• When you use Windows Explorer to view the files and folders, the thumbnails of image files appear briefly then are replaced with the default icon of the image file. I tried the answers to similar problems, but none worked.

  Browse the folders with image files, I cannot see the thumbnail icons for images correctly.  I know, it should be possible, but I can't do it.

  When I first open a folder in Explorer, I see the correct images for a fraction of a second, then all images are replaced by the thumbnail of the image file (which looks like part of a digital SLR).
  I put all folders to display picture to display the preview and the filter, and the "always show icons never thumbnails" is not checked.  Display file icon "on the photos' is unchecked (I tried checking, too, without change).  I also deleted the thumbnails using disk cleanup as suggested on another question, but which did not allow them.
  The result is that, if I want to open an image for editing or downloading, I have to use a third-party application (for example, Pentax Photo Browser) to preview images, and then return to the Explorer window to select the correct file by name. Don't try to difficulty of these things that are not broken.

  izzlecrate,
  You might want to try it and I just did this procedure myself a moment ago and surprising, it worked!  First of all I must tell you that I have Windows Vista, but the information I got was for Windows 7 and it worked.

  First: You must create a NEW FOLDER and put it on your desktop.
  Second: Move or copy the contents of the original file in the NEW FOLDER on the desktop. I copied the content, just in case something went wrong.
  Third: After that is finished and all the contents are inside you.
  Fourth: On the desktop right click on the folder and click Properties at the bottom of the box.
  Fifth: Click Customize tab at the top and then the Middle click on DEFAULT settings for the folder.  Click on apply to, click OK and your done

  NOW! You can move the folder wherever you want by drag-and - drop the folder and when it's done and that's the best part, you should see the thumbnails of the folder on the EDGE of the folder that you just created.  It worked for me and I hope it works for you.
  I have 10 years of experience with my computer and have troubleshooted my friends for viruses and other computer problems successfully.  I'm advanced computer user.

  That this is done, it restores the folder its original settings.  Good luck! Rick

• It seems that FFv.12 does not allow Scandinavian letters in the names of downloaded files, but gets stuck all by contacting the localhost?

  I do a fileupload page and it seems that FFv.12 does not allow for Scandinavian letters in the names of downloaded files, given that the browser gets stuck trying to communicate with the local host. Fix? This behavior differs from that of other browsers (IE, Chrome, Opera and Safari).

  That are Unicode characters in the name of the file or the characters in the top 0 x 80-0xFF range?

• Why windows media player displays only the names of original files?

  Windows Media Player only shows the original file names that can be confusing if I changed the name of a file. The name of the file (usually audio files) is correct in Windows Explorer, but in the component list of WMP, it's often the old file name. Why is this and what can I do about it? Advice would be appreciated. TA. Kevin.

  What the file type of these music files (MP3, WMA, WAV...)?

  WMP usually displays the title tags of the music file, which is independent of the file name. However, WMP always displays the current file name in the path column of the file, which can be activated by right clicking on a column header and select choose columns.

• To-do bar display of the names of open files

• How can I change the type of image file to download on a site like walmart or walgreens for printing?

  How can I change the type of image file to download on a site like walmart or walgreens for printing?

  In general, they will accept the image in the format, that it was taken (if it was taken by the majority of cameras or cell phones).  But if so, you have a few options.

  The most simple and integrated solution is Microsoft Paint.  Yes it is from the 1980s, but it still works and changes of a good job for a time.  Just to right click on the photo file, choose open with and choose paint.  Then go to file > save as and save this return as the file type you want it to be (like PNG or BMP or JPG, quality declining in the JPG option).

  If you need more options like changing the quality he uses during conversion, another free option (of the very very many) is Paint.NET, an open source free image editing program. http://www.dotPDN.com/downloads/PDN.html

  There are also programs that can do it in bulk, so you can highlight 300 photos and do convert them all at once.  You can do this for free or with tools like Photoshop.

• Jobs recording under the name of temporary file

  Hello fellow Scripting Guys!

  //  Save the open file to the new direct to print folder as EPS with artboard enabled.

  }
  

  I got the code above and when she runs 2/3 of the time, it runs great but the other 1/3 of the time it fails to rename and files are saved under the name of temporary file A1 #.  Is it possible to add a fail safe module to this?  Maybe do create the new file in a folder, make sure that the file has the file, and THEN move the file in this folder into the right pair?

  I annotated the popup code section and I don't see the problem more.  Something in the code below was he locked up and renaming does not...  Good times with the scripts!

  appreciate your help Silly-V.

      /*           var w = new Window("palette","Saved To STE Printer",undefined,{closeButton:false});
                      w.add("statictext",undefined,"File has been saved to STE Printer");
                      w.show();

• Impossible to display the names of HTML files in the HTML Files (topics) folder in the project manager

  RH8, I want to see the names of the HTML files instead of topic titles in the project manager.  I chose the button toggle project manager and the name of the folder is passed to "HTML Files (topics)" of "Project Files".  However, the folder of files HTML (topics) lists topics with subject titles, rather than the names of HTM files.  I was expecting to see the topic list in the Manager component of project with HTM file names.

  What should I do to display topics by names of HTM files in project manager?  The rocker is not working properly, or I do not understand what the toggle button?

  This occurs for each project, we have - all of which have been improved from RoboHelp X 5 to RH8.

• InDesign data merge with multple amount of images

  Hello

  Let me illustrate what I try to achieve:

  I'm doing the name cards with the name and the language on them for about 100 people.

  I know how to import excel for the text and image data, but here's the catch:

  We work closely with 4 images, for 4 languages respectively. On my profile the languages I speak the person marked. I could link each person with the picture of the flag in excel and shoot those in Indesign.

  How can I configure what he shoots only in images of languages that speaks of the person AND in such a way that they align in the Center. (So 3 images in the case of 3 languages, aligned Center, 1 for 1, center aligned)

  Is it an easy thing to do?

  All help is appreciated!

  What is the kind of thing you want to do?

  In Excel:

  

  ID:

  

  After the merger:

  

  If that's what you want to do, remove the empty frames post merger using a script from substances

  Re: Indesign: remove all the empty frames online script?

  If this isn't what you want... Let us know.

  Take care, Mike

• Data merge InDesign CS6 not properly position it on the page.

  July 3, 2013

  I use Indesign cs6... I worked in indesign from cs.  I did many complex data merges in 5.5 and before, but now in CS6, when I do to create the pages merged, it my first one of the centers and throw the rest out of the page.  I mean multiple images to a page.  Unique to a page works fine.

  In addition, I worked with windows xp and now I'm on a Windows 7 computer.  Don't know if that makes a difference, but thought it was worth mentioning.
  

  I tried all the settings in the windows of data merge.

  I tried to place on the page in different places, but when it merges it is always in the Center (first element).

  I looked for plug-ins, patches, patches online and found nothing that will help you.

  I'm running out of things to try and find any help or patches on the adobe Web site.

  I have a job with 1200 pieces (4 upwards) coming soon and I don't want to have to fix each page individually.

  Thanks in advance

  Rhonda
  

  You have not used the tool Page on this file, you have?

  In addition, would be worth trying a new file for the model and the copy of the presentation of the card in it (or rebuild). It can be damaged at this point.

• InDesign CS4 Excel data merge on the master page problem

  Hi all

  I had the following problem with an automated data merge document. He reads only the first row of cells in the document. That's what I did.

  Examples of data

  Excel

  Colum A Cel A1: Articlenummer

  Cel A2 12345

  Cel A3 5465

  Colum B Cel B1 Description

  Cel B2 Test 1

  Cel B3 Test 2

  Barcode Colum C Cel C1

  Cel C2 90000

  Cel C3 900001

  On the master page, I made a layout with the folling containers. The diagram below is for 1 item.

  Text for Articlenummer container

  Contatiner text for Description

  For the barcode text container

  I copied the three containers on the page which resulted in the master page with 40 containers for each item.

  I went data merge and connected the TXT document to the first set of containers. InDesign reads the data and place it correctly. But Indesign doenst copy the data in the row of the cell in the following sets of containters. If I connect the document to the next set of containers that indesign don't bed that the data of the first line of the cell which results in a document that contains only the same data.

  Somehelp with that does

  Best regards

  Phillip

  I suspect what happens, that's what I described in my previous post, PARAGRAPH:

  «Indesign takes what he considers a "record" what on the page, that is from the top left to the bottom right of the page, any indesign objects can enter it considers only a record.»

  It's a little hard to explain so I'll demonstrate in images using a simple merge

  

  

  If the finished merger looks like

  

  but, if a chart is placed on the same page (whether the page master or not, doesn't matter) this is where things can go wrong

  

  but this is easily seen in the preview

  

  so, when you perform a merge of data with multiple records, the data of the variable must be treated separately to static data (items that will be on every page as a background, or in this example, the smiley face).

  If the merger on a master page, static elements must be on a master page above and variable must be on a master BASED ON the static captain.

  If the merger on a standard page, static elements must be on the master page. The advantage with fusion on a master page is that data remain linked. The downside is that a page can contain variable data in the merged file.

  hope it makes sense.

• 2 problems: cannot see the preview of the images in my files and can not see the name of my files in some of the views.

  Yesterday, 18:46

  Some time ago, when I went to my files using Windows Vista, I could already see the preview of the images in my folder. But now, all I see is either a glass with brushes (the MS Paint logo) for JPG images and a background painted with paint brushes on my BMP images. So, how to get back to see previews in my folder?

  I also have another problem: in a few other cases, I see that the name of the program or file when I have the view defined as tiles, details or list. But when I choose one of the views icon (or small icons, medium icons, large icons and Extra large icons) I don't see the name of the program or file.

  How can I solve these 2 problems?

  I think I can answer the first question. I'll check back for an answer to your 2nd question.

  RE: Can't see thumbnails (excerpts), only the icons

  Start button > in the search box, type Folders options > view tab > ONE- always check "show icons, never thumbnails" > OK for the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.
