Launch an app of CS on the other
Hi all
Newbie Alert - sorry!
I'm currently stuck on something that seems simple, but I can't make it work - it comes to coordination between multiple CS applications.
I want to cause a Creative Suite application (Photoshop, for example) open a given document (say a JPEG file) during the execution of a CS Extension running in another Creative Suite application (Illustrator, for example).
I assumed first naively I could just use the application property of the Photoshop class (for example, "com.adobe.csawlib.photoshop.Photoshop.app") by another extension hosted by Illustrator, but I'm not having much luck. A possible cause is that Photoshop is not necessarily running. When I try to refer to Photoshop.app "inside" an extension of the Illustrator, I get an object, but it is full of NULL values and empty member variables - it is not properly instantiated, and whenever I try to refer to something 'in' it (e.g. Photoshop.app.open...), a null exception is thrown.
I tried before launching Photoshop manually, but this does not appear in Help and anyway, I want to launch Photoshop automatically if it has not yet been released.
The next thing I tried was to use an embedded ExtendScript - when using ExtendScript, it's pretty simple to talk to other applications of the Creative Suite. There are objects called "photoshop", "illustrator" and so on, and there BridgeTalk.
But when I call my ExtendScript of in ActionScript using the HostObject, looks like that miss me all the normal 'infrastructure' I have grown to expect when executing ExtendScript. I suspect it's because I'm in a motor that doesn't have the stuff I want to access.
Then, I tried to force things - I noticed that the code example that runs an ExtendScript in ActionScript has one sentence:
var myBridgeScript: HostObject = HostObject.getRoot(HostObject.extensions[0]);
and HostObject.extensions [0] is something like 'com.adobe.illustrator '. I haven't tried other strings here (for example running inside the Illustrator, I tried "com.adobe.photoshop") - no luck. Got a null value in myBridgeScript.
I looked at the CSXSEvents - but as far as I understand those who would only help me when Photoshop is already running - article by Bob Stucky Cookbook
http://cookbooks.Adobe.com/post_Inter_Application_Communication_with_the_Creative-18456.ht ml
ends with: «possible extensions would be to run Photoshop, if necessary, by using NativeProcess in Air» That sounds like bad news and seems to indicate that I have to go find the path of the application Photoshop the hard (keeping in mind that some people install their Creative Suite in odd places, isn't always in "/ Applications/Adobe Photoshop CSsomething" or "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CSsomething").
Now, I can't do that the complicated way (the call down to the underlying operating system, try to find the correct application of Photoshop (there could be several) and run the document through the BONE)- but I really expected there would be a simple magic trick to do so in a much more direct way - it is clear that Creative Suite applications know each other , so I was hoping to find a way to leverage their internal intelligence to launch a CS application documents in another CS application.
Any ideas?
Reflection, you probably don't need reminders.
You can do this using two (or rather three) driven ExtendScript Bridgetalk (or non-BridgeTalk) separate scripts:
Something like this should launch Photoshop and tell you its status:
function launchPhotoshop(){ var status = BridgeTalk.getStatus("photoshop"); switch(status){ case "IDLE": case "BUSY": case "PUMPING": return status; } BridgeTalk.launch("photoshop"); return status; }
You just need to keep voting until Photoshop is accessible. Once Photoshop is open, run another Bridgetalk script...
HTH,

Problems with updating apps - 1 computer goes, the other will not be the same Adobe ID
have a full subscription to CC one installed the applications on an iMac a pro dMacbook. Last updated iMAC night a series of applications including Photoshop, Lightroom, Bridge, a dDreamweaver. The laptop to update Lightroom a dDreamweaver. To date, heard Photoshop and Bridge. Cam Raw with 9.4 still NO 9.5. Opening image of Lightroom in Camera Rw Raw said LR version ahead of Photoshop and raw Cam 9.5 update. Prelude to a more wacky, also set effects to date on iMac, but not on the laptop. Any suggestions for a cure so I'm able to update applications to stay in harmony. Tried to uninstall bridge a resettlement but CamRaw stuck at 9.4. Thanks for your collective advice.

Hoping that this is not too off-topic, but I'm really running out of ideas...
I have this trading program full license (TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 4.2) who has worked on my Win7/64 for several months, and in recent weeks, has become excruciatingly slow for every user interaction (but not for real computing), making it essentially unusable (1'30 to launch vs 3 normally, 30 "seconds waiting to launch a 'new project' vs.)<1s normally,="">1s>
When 'pending' launch application or respond to a command, 12% of the full CPU (8 logical cores on CPU Core i7 third Gen) is used by a single process: the offending application (look at the Task Manager, 1 logical core is used to +/-80%, a second for about 15% of this process). All other processes are still at 0% CPU usage.
Of course, I tried & tested many things including full-/ re-installation of the application with a careful cleaning etc., corresponding registry entries software disabling AV (Avira free), .net Framework Repair Tool, etc... no change! The disc has been checked and is OK.
Some interesting tips:
This app worked fine for several months before the problem started abruptly a few weeks; I tried to uninstall .net Framework 4.5 updates to a date prior to the date of beginning of apparent problem, does not; I came back to an earlier version of the offending software: no change.
But the most interesting observation is that the app works well at the launch of any other user account on the same machine Win7/64 (whether with the normal credentials or admin), so for me that means there should be no conflict of software on the computer, only something in my profile of the main user who causes the app behave so slowly.
At this point, the Helpdesk of the seller looks distraught - too.
Suggestions for troubleshooting?
BTW: I consider that this computer is well managed, and no rogue or untrusted app sleeps there. my main profile is fairly heavily customized for my work, so I want to avoid workaround last resort would be to create a new user account as work environment main (besides the fact that I hate not to find the root cause of the problem)
Hello
Given that this problem is specific to the user's profile. I suspect that some programs that are installed or some settings in the profile translates into this problem. You can fix a corrupted user profile by following the steps in this article:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=Windows-7
I hope this helps.

How the other drive app option to calculate calories? I did 45 minutes yoga with him and he showed the 260 callus which is high of 45 mins of yoga session.
ISuspect that is not correct.
Hello
Saving workouts through the app to drive using others as the type of activity, active calories are estimated at a rate equivalent to a brisk walk or based on the data recorded by the heart rate sensor, according to what is higher.
The following steps can help to improve the accuracy of the estimates made by your watch:
- Estimates for calories and other results depend, in part, your personal information. To verify that it is accurate:
- On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: My Watch (tab) > health > Edit (top-right).
- While training, to optimize the performance of the heart rate sensor (data from which is used when estimating calories), make sure you wear your watch fits on top of your wrist. Apple suggests that consider you the clamping Strip before starting a workout and it loosen again thereafter.
- Note that the heart rate sensor is likely to give better results for the workouts that involve rhythmic (such as running) rather than the irregular movements.
- Calibrate your watch can improve the accuracy of various estimates related to the activity, including estimates of calorie. To calibrate your watch, follow the instructions in the link below support article. You can reset your calibration data and start the process:
- On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > privacy > Motion & Fitness > tap reset Calibration data.

BlackBerry smartphone App world is the non-touchscreen version intended for the other BB
My app world is the version of no touch screen on my storm 2. He changed this month, when I downloaded an upgrade to this topic. I tweeted RIM on this subject and they told me to uninstall it and download it again. This did not make a difference however. And now that RIM haas updated twitter, which also spent in the version for non touchscreen phones and can't do the good version to which either. It's strange because all the other stuff I download from app world are the version of the storm, even after he screwed up.
No one knows how to fix? As I said, I tried put it back and stuff loads of times but it didn't work!
He had the key board all the time, as if it were a BB with a correct key rather the touchscreen. This meant scroll and everything was different. I thought about it though, in compatibility mode had been activated for some reason any, when I downloaded the update. Same thing happened to twitter by RIM. Once I disabled it, he returned to be the version intended for the storm 2. I'm hopeless with technology, took me almost a year to fix it!

I have seen the user that one of my menu apps start how do I see on the other?
I installed Microsoft office on my pc but I got 2 users. I have seen the user that one of my menu apps start how do I see on the other?
Former title: need help please
Soumya, salvation
Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community.
If I understand correctly, you want to access the applications in the two accounts on your system.
When you say "I could see menu start of the user as a single of my apps", are you talking about office applications or other applications?
For the office, if you are installing Office into the administrator account, it will be copied to all user accounts on its own.
For other applications, you can consult the links below and check if it helps.
I hope this helps to solve the issue. If the problem persists, get back to us. We will be happy to help you.

I downloaded creative cloud with CC Photoshop, Premiere Pro CS6 and DC Acrobat install however Premiere Pro does not open. When open the button is on the other app, the first Pro app said only "up-to-date". If I click this, nothing happens?
check your directory program files adobe > first pro cs6 > first pro.exe file.
(restart the cc app will probably also work.)

I have one membership year for cloud creative after that I got with my update, but recently the other day, it changed all my applications of trial versions. How to return to my membership and demo of the apps?
Check that your current account (and only the adobe, used in the next step id is good) by logging in here and check the status of your subscription, https://www.adobe.com/account.html
then, if it's current, disconnect and then back to your client application using the adobe with the link above in cc id: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
If this fails to solve the problem, Cloud Creative applications back in test mode after an update until 2015 for CC
