InDesign CS5: Signs of Zombie

I had this problem with CS4, but it seems much more persistent (and boring) in CS5: panels that insists to reappear whenever you switch workspaces, no matter how many times you close them.

Panels that appear are panels of the library and the sample buttons Panel. This happens whenever I spend the workspaces and often when I started the application. The panels library sometimes reappear after being inactive for weeks. To my knowledge, I never intentionally opened the Panel buttons of the sample.

I did all the usual things. I deleted my preferences user, restart InDesign, rebooted. I have gone through each of my workspaces and all the unwanted panels removed individually, then re-recorded the workspaces. More than once. I even deleted my workspaces and rebuilt from scratch. But signs continue to pop up - usually right in the middle of the desktop computer.

The problem of the library panel can be fixed by deleting or moving the library. But my libraries live in some places on my hard drive for a reason, and it seems silly to keep moving them simply to prevent a problem that shouldn't happen in the first place. (Kind of like playing Whack-a-Mole InDesign).

Anyone has any ideas on what's going on?

You don't mention your OS, so I don't know where to send you, specifiacally, but I would try to close ID, and then rename the InDesign SavedData file (you will find the information of path to replace your preferences ) and then I go to your user library or a profile and find the Workspaces folder and delete all the XML files with the word "current" in it and then restart ID

  • How to call another sign of Extension Extension Panel in InDesign CS5

    Hello

    In InDesign CS5 usnig ActionScript, we have a range of Extensions 'main menu '. It's a true sign Extensions, with the appropriate look and the field, the left and right docakability in InDesign, etc.

    We would like to appeal to some of our other Extensions InDesign panels in the 'main menu', instead of making the user to enter in the Windows-> Extensions menu and choosing the extension manually.

    All of our extensions are of type mx:Application. How to achieve this?

    TIA,

    mlavie

    It's really a matter of CS SDK...

    I'm not 100% sure what you're asking...

    To start an extnesion scripts CS, you are essentially limited to the menuAction.invoke ().

    If you want to know how to customize the position of the menu item, you can do it in the manifest file something like this:

                 
                    
                        Script Bay
                    
                
    

    Launch of an extension in another Extension of CS, you would use:

    CSXSInterface.getInstance().requestOpenExtension(extensionID);

  • InDesign CS5.5 cannot select the tool move

    I have InDesign CS5.5, installed on a desktop computer (Windows 7 Home) and it works fine. I installed it on a second desktop computer (Windows 7 Professional). It seemed to install and update fine. However, if I create a new document and drag a rectangle I can't access the move tool to move and I can not change the size and position using the boxes below the menu bar.

    All of the suggestions.

  • inDesign CS5 and CS6 inCopy workflow problem

    I looked further discussions and did not answer the question to our problem.

    We are a small publishing company and we have the license for about 7 inDesign CS5 best we bought a year ago.  We have contracts with external publishers to change content for us using inCopy.  Last year, there is no problem.  But any new Editor under contract we sign today, which in turn buys inCopy, we have problems with our talk with one of the other files.  All new editors under contract are able to purchase inCopy CS6.  This leaves us with the problem of having to inDesign CS5 on about 7 or so of our used machines and 6-8 CS 5.5 InCopy on outside contracted publishers and another 3-4 editors under contracts with inCopy CS6.  When publishers with inCopy CS6 try to open our InDesign CS5 files, either they will not open at all, or they will open, the editor working on the project for a while, their program crashes and they aren't able to recover (reopening) the files again.  Which translates into lost hours at work.

    Has anyone encountered this problem?  Is there a work around or a quick fix.  We hate having to upgrade to CS6 for all our copies in InDesign home and then ask our external publishers have inCopy cs5.5 upgrade to CS6.

    If this is the case, when CS7 comes out and we are hiring more outside editors, we must continually go through the process of upgrading again?  It is too expensive to use and our existing contract publishers.

    All thoughts are a help would be appreciated.

    It is one of the error messages from a Publisher under external contract using inCopy CS6.  The file crashed after several hours of work, when the Publisher went to reopen the case, they have received this error.  Which seems to be a generic error code that does not tell us anything.

    Hello Rufus,

    Unfortunately the different versions of InDesign and InCopy work well with each other. More recent versions of the program should be able to open to older files, but they can't save backward. I don't know what the cause of errors with newer versions of InCopy however.

    You are able to open the InCopy CS6 files on your computers?

  • InDesign CS5 will work with MacOS Sierra?

    Has anyone tried to see if InDesign CS5 will work with MacOS Sierra? I have creative cloud and CS5 on my machine, but due to some of the things that I have to work that only work with CS5 to CS6 I have to keep my old software. I hesitate to upgrade to Sierra until I know if InDesign CS5 will work or not.

    If anyone has tested this, I would be recognizing the return flow, thank you.

    It really depends what you do with it, and a large part of the framework has changes in the operating system for how the application is designed to run in. Your workflow can cause problems when the application works for others or you might be able to use it, but keep in mind has more no support for CS5 Adobe or Apple, so do not expect to solve any problems that you can discover.

  • Indesign CS5 update

    Hi guys,.

    I have a problem with my Indesign CS5 update (to open recent files after reinstalling), it keeps giving me an error of update in the application manager.

    Now I found a solution posted by someone that I could update the application manager by going here, but during the process of installation/update it tells me that even this fails!

    He then directs me to Adobe Support Advisor, which is abandoned.

    This quite frustrating to say the least, I need to have the latest version in order to use my files before reinstalling my system, I created.

    Is it possible that I could download perhaps manually CS5 updates?

    Or another way of doing things to day?

    Any help appreciated

    If you have a valid serial number for InDesign CS5.5, you can install it, please make sure that you check the minimum system requirements for CS5.5: system requirements for Adobe InDesign for Mac OS and Windows, as it is an earlier application and has not been tested on the latest hardware.

    Support Advisor kann man nicht download, there're nicht mehr...

    Hi Edithk8481466,

    'Download Support Advisor' is a generic error, and we need to understand what is causing the problem. Most of the time, its a problem with the download was not successful or downloaded correctly. So, in this case, re-download the software and do not forget to compare the file size of the file downloaded with the file on the server. Download Adobe Creative Suite 5 products

    Allows you to check in this case as well and make sure that the download is complete, if the size of the file is correct, to the install.log file.

    Navigate in the log files in one of the following folder:

    Mac OS: / Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers /.

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Installers\

    The name of the log file includes the name of the product and installation date, followed of ".". log.gz."the .gz extension indicates a compressed format.

    You can use any tool to unzip to extract the 7z or gz file:

    Once unzipped, the log file is a text file, open the .log using TextEdit (Mac OS) and notebook (OS Win)

    Scroll to the bottom of the log. Look in the section - summary - for lines that begin with ERROR or FATAL and signals a failure during the installation process.

    Copy and paste this section SUMMARIZED here so that we can check for errors.

    Alternatively, you can analyze the logs yourself. http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/troubleshoot-install-logs-CS5-CS5.html
