Duplicate swatches?

Adobe Illustrator cc 2015 has a possibility to find and remove duplicate samples without having to search for each of them?

Thank you

There is no command, delete duplicates, but:

(1) you can select all unused and delete

(2) or select the shade that you want to keep the first, then shift to add other colors to your section then merge swatches

Alternatively, you can define by name if it helps you get the duplicate next to each other, which obviously depends on if they have the same name. Read on and experience with the options in the drop-down color chart, color chart knowing well reward you with Illustrator.

  • How to observe the command "duplicate swatch"?

    I want to be notified each time the kDuplicateSwatchCmdBoss is run, so I tried to write an observer of swatch.

    My first attempt was to inherit from SwatchesObserver, but I could not run, and I couldn't find any documentation to explain how it was better than using Cobserve. (Someone in this forum already used SwatchesObserver?) So now I inherit from Cobserve.

    Still not got very far because I need to attach it to a widget in my method CResponder::Respond (), but I can't an IObserver interface on any of the widget IDs for all that looks like it would be for the swatch list. kSwatchesPanelWidgetID? kSwatchListPanelWidgetID?

    Here's what the code looks like in the answering machine:

    InterfacePtr < IApplication > theApp (GetExecutionContextSession ()-> QueryApplication());
    Assert (theApp);


    PanelMgr InterfacePtr < IPanelMgr > (PAP-> QueryPanelManager());
    Assert (panelMgr);


    IControlView * swatchesCV = panelMgr-> GetPanelFromWidgetID (kSwatchListPanelWidgetID);
    Assert (swatchesCV);


    InterfacePtr < IObserver > iSwatchObserver (swatchesCV, IID_IVIPSWATCHOBSERVER);
    Assert (iSwatchObserver); / / this assertion always fails


    If (iSwatchObserver! = nil) {}
    iSwatchObserver-> AutoAttach();
    }

    Here's what I added to my file .fr:

    AddIn
    {
    kSwatchLibWidgetBoss,
    kInvalidClass,
    {
    IID_IVIPSWATCHOBSERVER, kVIPSwatchObserverImpl,
    }
    },

    Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    You're right, I did not notice that detail. The UDList is replaced by the new UID and the former disappeared.

    This and the missing notification a smell as the command was implemented centuries ago.

    As you can see, the kAddSwatchesCmdBoss which adds the sample created in the list will follow later.

    How about this:

    You can find the original by name shade, if you take the name of the new grade and strip the end 'copy' or 'copy 2 '. See kDuplicateSwatchCmdBoss IID_ISTRINGDATA for the actual string.

    As an alternative, implement a class of distinct renderingobject (boss) instead of overlay your data.

    In this case, you must also implement a kRenderingObjectService which in the IRenderObjectService is requested (by the command duplicate) to perform the double real.

    IID_IK2SERVICEPROVIDER kRenderClassProviderImpl,

    IID_IRENDEROBJECTSERVICE, myImpl...

    Delete regarding: the delete action will create a "color without a name" (if you chose this option remove... dialog) and replace all references to the shade with references to no named color. You can detect this case of the kNewColorCmdBoss: IID_IRENDERINGOBJECT: visible flag...
    Much later, there will be a kDeleteSwatchesCmdBoss with a nested kDeleteColorCmdBoss (at least if we don't talk about kPMColorBoss objects). Hard to find, my trace output has 46000 lines for such an operation...

  • Anyone know why duplicate it, delete, create new swatch icons have disappeared from the base of the InDesign CC Swatch Group? Display only icon is add to the CC library?

    Since InDesign CC 15 update options at the base of the color chart disappeared. The only option now shows is:

    Add to the CC library

    Missing icons:

    -New color swatch

    -New color group

    -Double Swatch

    -New Swatch

    -Remove the shade

    Is this a bug? What is a display setting that died in the update? Would be great to anyone can help, as now I have to do a right click to have as many options on the color chart.Screen Shot 2015-06-29 at 17.37.07.png

  • Change the color of a duplicate

    Working on a script to create several squares of different colors. The idea is the CMD-allows you to select the samples used in the file, the user runs the script, and prompted them to choose a size. Then based on how many shades are selected, that many places are created in the colors. In other words if they select the shades of red and blue, the script should return a red square and a blue square in the selected size. I am able to create squares based on selections from swatch but not able to apply more than one color. Any ideas? I want to keep the code as clean as possible. Thank you!

  • "Persistent" marked swatches disappear

    I have a set of nuances that I want to open whenever I open Illustrator. When I mark as "persistent" they do they not appear everytime I open Illustrator and I have to load each time. Does anyone know a fix for this? It worked fine in 2014 of CC, but since the upgrade to 2015 CC I have not been able to keep "persistent." Work on a mac

    The persistent not working for several versions, and I suspect the fix I used in previous versions will continue to run. Basically duplicate the shade desired under a new name, then put it here

    / Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS6/Presets.localized/en_US/Swatches/aPANTONE solid coated.acb

    Notice that I inserted the letter a before

    Make you samples new, persistent, you save the workspace and exit illustrator (this will save your prefs, so you don't lose if your application crashes)

  • Edit and delete swatches in double

    I have hundreds of files with shades of color of the mark are different overall, and through to the output, the construction of these files multiple versions of colors are added through the copy paste etc. Y at - it a Script that could clean the nuances in these files to make them coherent whole?

    For example, a swatch of files might look like this:

    Red mark (0,100,100,0)

    Blue brand (100,80,0,0)

    The blue mark 1 (100,83,0,0)

    Mark Blue 2 (100,88,0,0)

    The blue mark 3 (100,81,0,0)

    The blue mark 4 (100,89,0,0)

    The blue mark 5 (100,82,0,0)

    The blue mark 6 (100,77,0,0)

    The blue mark 7 (100,95,0,0)

    Red mark 1 (0,90,90,0)

    Red mark 2 (0,100,93,0)

    Red mark 3 (0,92,90,0)

    Red mark 4 (0,100,94,0)

    Red mark 5 (0,70,92,0)

    Red mark 6 (0,95,92,0)

    Red mark 7 (0,97,90,0)

    I would like the script to change shades to:

    Red mark (0,100,100,0)

    Blue brand (100,80,0,10)

    Change the original colors and replace all duplicates with the Original. Brand blue (1-7) would be replaced by the brand blue, red brand (1-7) would be replaced by the red mark. All other colors would be left alone.

    Is this possible? Could it lots more files?

  • Coloring a font with a RGB, etc. without adding color in the swatch of the document.

    Is it possible to color a font with a RGB, Lab, or CMYK color without adding color in the swatch of the document.

    The only way I know is to add a color to the color chart or use an existing one.

    as

    App.Selection [0]. Characters [0]. FillColor = document. Colors.Add ({colorValue: 255, 53 (160) and space: ColorSpace.RGB}) ;}

    As a side effect to clutter up shades using many colors.

    any ideas?

    Hello Uwe!

    After 03:00 by me 02:00 by you

    I tried the link and it download but I have cs5 cs6 and cc but not cs5.5 and all the scripts worked on them can due to the conversion of files.

    It seems therefore that the following summary is all is correct

    New documents contain some

    Color chart (black, registration, paper and none) the index order is the order in which shades appear in the swatches Panel

    And the colors in the order of the alphabetical index

    named colors without name last and then 'A', 'Z' first color.

    Color documents News-[1] will be a color without a name that can be duplicated to produce other colors without name, noting that duplication should be processes and not the tones.

    So far so good, (not for long)

    Unnamed colors are not read only so if we make a positive effort to remove, we can do that.

    while (app.activeDocument.colors[-1].name == "") app.activeDocument.colors[-1].remove()
    

    Now, we will not have any what swatches without a name to duplicate and will have to use the method of file text marked with John at number 3 above.

    If there is no shade no name and we try to replicate the colors [-1] and it's a color as 'Yellow', then it seems s indesign crash.

    In any case the method below should always work (for regular non-dyed colours etc.).

    Among the caveats to spend too much time here is the occasional change and accidental to the ID and preferences by default while trying to duplicate, reproduce, screenshot and explain and what not to knowledge not.

    Right now, I'm not know. My default swatches of CS3 looks like a normal game, but they are RGB. If I double click and change the color to CMYK, I'm fairly certain that the values are not dead ahead. (This red shade was certainly not 11,37 c 99,22 m 96.08y 1.96 before k) I could change them manually with values of CS4, but I have the nagging feeling I have enabled a global preference that I want a change.

  • How can I have two desktops on iCloud sync at the same time, without having duplicate files?

    Hi all

    I have two computers, a MacBook Pro and iMac. I use the new feature for Sierra macOS, which allows me to continually synchronize my office on iCloud. I welcome the Office on my iMac be synchronized on the cloud. Now, I would have the exact same office on my MacBook Pro. I tried many ways, including by dragging files to iCloud Drive on my desktop, but the synchronization does not work. If I enable syncing on my MacBook Pro, I know that I have duplicate files.

    With this method, I would like to: whenever I have add a file on my desktop iMac computer, it shows up on my MacBook Pro Office without the need for me to keep about iCloud road opening.

    If you enable sync on the MacBook Pro, it should not be duplicates.  What makes you think it?

  • Office sync with two Macs leads to duplicate the files/folders

    Hi all

    I m using MacOS Sierra sync with desktop (and documents). Logged into my account, are two Macs (Air and a MB Pro). No I find in my iCloud drive a documents folder (it's good and the documents of the MB Air folder) and in this case a "Dokumente - MacBook Pro mg" folder which is the folder documents of my MB Pro (this is not so good). This isn't what I expected, I expected to have a documents folder which is identical on both machines. Does anyone know what I need to adjust to get things clear?

    Greetings from the Germany

    Mike

    I posted an article that explains all this to http://www.quecheesoftware.com/iCloud.html . This is a downloadable PDF file.

    Basically, you add to the folder Documents after activation of the synchronization of the files will be synchronized as you expect. But the files that were in your Documents on several Mac folders when you switch on for the first time on the synchronization will be placed in specific subfolders to your new folder of Documents iCloud Drive device. Apple apparently felt that he could not predict how each user would want their old files organized in the folder of Documents Drive iCloud, so Apple left to each user to reorganize the file later.

    I have now moved all my own files on the first level of my folder of Documents Drive iCloud and trashed the duplicate of the other device-specific folder. Now, everything syncs between computers, as expected. I left the two subfolders of specific to the device in place, either two empty for now, in case in the future that I might want to keep some files associated with one of the devices - for example, the alias files do not work on the other Mac. They will always sync in another subfolder, but at least I know to use it only on their own device.

    Apple certainly could have documented it better.

  • Can I duplicate a Multicam clip?

    I have a multicam clip enough complex that FCPX don't sync too well, so I did most of it manually. Now it's done, I know it would have been much better if it was two separate blocking clips.

    To save all the hassle of syncing it yet once, I would like to duplicate the Multicam Clip and remove then off a beginning and the end of the other, so the duplicate clips should be completely independent of each other.

    It doesn't seem to be a way to duplicate in the browser of Multicam items (probably because they have the same links and changing one will affect the other).

    Is there a way to create an independent clip of MC duplicate?

    Hey Andy,

    If you create a new library and move the multicam to the event in the new library must copy and allow you to independently change the original lib.

    Now, maybe I'm away, but I need to know how to get all devices on the same calendar synchronization and set whatever other issues that create multiple copies of the same photo, still selectively (since not EVERY photo is duplicate or create multiple copies.)

    I studied to decide it of just not worth the heavy price the frustration and lack of finding a resolution that would establish the cause of the massive duplication, get all devices in perfect sync and identity all TRUE copies to remove. I'm not ignorant about software process, in fact, I got University courses in computer programming (C++, systems analysis and design), as well as on professional training in the RPG on the IBM mainframe. My last post was for a small, private life insurance company that had @50 used when I was hired as an analyst in their first test system.  Five years later, the company has quadrupled its staff and exploded away from their goals more optimistic financial profit for the first five years.

    I am too wordy, I know, but getting better. I just thought it would be u to let you know that my skills and experience are beyond the average user, but not enough to understand how the process Microsoft and Apple and development programs are structured through their interfaces, products, applications, partners, etc.

    I am very eager to hear from anyone who has answers, suggestions, ideas, etc.. !  I have been unemployed for 6 years now, due to many disabilities.  I need HELP.  And it is only the visible part of the iceberg of the problems that I need help. So, I'll post one at a time.

    Thanks in advance for your support.

    Forward,.

    Photos detect duplicates when you import pictures and when you synchronize with iCloud photo library.

    Photos does not analyse the duplicates, but checks for them during import and download to iCloud photo library.

    There are a few duplicate programs that are tested as safe with Photos, including PowerPhotos, PhotoSweeper for the pictures and Duplicate Annihilator for Photos - do not use a tested and documented as safe.
