Question of the links Panel

• ID CC 2015 links not showing in the links Panel

  In the two last weeks showed no link in the links Panel in any document. The Panel is just completely empty.

  Things I've tried:

  Trashing preferences. (Yes. Twice.) Restart the system, etc.

  Saving a document as IDML - has no effect.  On the already placed or newly placed images.

  All the images are placed not glued. I tried to place keyboard cmd to place pictures or by drag-and - drop from the finder or bridge - makes no DIF. In addition, if the images on my hard drive or on a server does not appear either differentiate.

  Far as I can tell I have no extensions corrupt or add ons to the system. (Although I don't honestly know what to look for).

  The fonts are all OTF and not those of eccentric, I'm under Extensis Suitcase, although it was never a question of the end.

  Opening the exact same file IDML in ID 2014 shows the links in the links Panel as per normal. I am running the same plugin Multi-Find/Change in both versions of ID so it can't be that.

  It must be something with CC 2015.

  Any ideas?

  The first time you used the manual method of replacement prefs. Please try, as I asked earlier, using the shortcut method.

  On a Mac, you should be able to hold the 4 keys down while you start InDesign, you don't need the speed.

• By clicking on the image does not show in the links Panel

  Has this changed?

  When I click on an image (within a framework of) the selected image used to be highlighted in the links Panel, so you can easily identify what image you are using.

  This does not happen on my version (v11.4.0.90). I guess this or has this already happened?

  Try restarting indesign.

• The location of the link is no longer present in the links Panel

  I used to be able to move my mouse over the name of the file in the links Panel and a little pop up would come with the location of the image. It seems that it works, which is frustrating, because it would give me a description longer where was the link. Which shows the link information in the Panel is too few characters to really find in my server. Any ideas why it does not work? I have CC Indesign on Mac 10.10.4 2015.

  It works for me with the same configuration.

• How to navigate through all of the links in the links Panel in the user interface?

  Hello world

  I wonder how I can browse all the links in the links Panel, programmatically. I have a document where the resources present in this Panel are not available using the ILinkManager. He tells me there are no links in the document when using ILinkManager-> GetLinkCount().

  These resources are not more related to any element on the page. These are images which are not more related to what it is. Right-click on it and click on 'join the link' shows nothing in the document (the same operation on a resource that is linked to a graphic image focuses on it). I can manually re-edit the link, but nothing more.

  In the user interface, there is no way to delete (not menu 'remove' or whatever).

  I think I "created" them as follows: during the creation of the story, the story is tagged. Then I attach a picture frame and label it in the history. Then I remove the frame (s) containing the history, so that its history xml is "not placed" (see kXMLUnplaceCmdBoss). At this time (if I'm not mistaken), I created these inaccessible resources. I see the xml story unplaced in the structure of the document that remains not placed XML (in the backup store) and resources in the links Panel.

  History unplaced XML CAN be removed manually, but not these inaccessible resources. However, there must be a way, as InDesign can display them.

  How to reach these 'lost' resources and delete them, by programming?

  Independent of your real problem, I would first try the equivalent in the user interface.

  Preparation:

  To simplify things and make them visible, working on a traditional tale - not the backup store.

  The story should be labeled and will remain so.

  Add content as complicated as you want.

  Some content preceding and behind it must survive.

  Your content must be labeled - surrounded by a single label.

  Text-Select this unique tag (see the invisible etc for the right selection).

  Remove the text selection.

  See: Tags are gone, content text disappeared, the images have disappeared.

  Now find a way to perform this deletion text programmatically. Without specific code XML - operation but a simple text, InDesign will do the rest.

  Finally, use the code that results on the backup store.

• Links NOT alert missing images and not in the links Panel

  Don't know if this is a consequence to move my files and account across to a new Mac Pro and re-configuration of hard disk locations where files image linked, but... I'm working on a document which lasted from systems - come finally to an end, and I write PDF printing and found this problem.

  InDesign CC 9.2.1 running on the Mavericks 10.9.2 NOT indicate images missing links in the links Panel. In fact it is not showing the image on the page is still in the document - it does not appear in the links Panel, although I can see the image on the page.

  I noticed this when there is evidence verifying a high-resolution PDF print, and the picture looked at low resolution. weird, but should not.  I went back to InDesign file to query the image, and found when I clicked it, it has not been highlighted in the links Panel - where I active warnings, IPR and other columns so I can quickly check problems. It was not at all here. InDesign seems to be blind to the image.  When I right click on images of rogue on the page I do not get the "Graphics" section at the bottom of the drop-down list as I do with images okay.  I guess because InDesign doesn't even know it's there?

  Basically, the image is visible on the page, but InDesign doesn't know...  What gives?  I'll have to go through a long document now by clicking on each image to verify it is showing in the links Panel, and then re-release of links each image that seems to be completely lost as much as InDesign is concerned not even knowing it's there.

  I have "reset all warning dialogs. Made no difference.

  I worry about what other files will do it for me now and how much time will be lost carefully checking validity of each image.

  Oh, and... drag & drop = place, so if indeed your apparent no paired images were pulled, there may be something wrong with that.

  Drag and drop from the Finder, Windows Explorer or bridge are all equivalent to the file > Place..., but drag it from Photoshop or another application, it would be the same as Edit > paste.

• How can I remove a link in the links Panel?

  I moved an item out of the folder of links on a project that I train in IDCC and opening of the project he said, rightly, that a link is missing. When I go in the links Panel, I see the alert that the bound element is missing, that I know, and I want to remove the link in the links Panel, but do not see any option to do this, also the delete key does nothing when the item is highlighted and do a right-click (^ click) don't offer no delete choice either. How can I remove this item in the links Panel?

  TIA,

  Ken

  You must remove it from the page of the document where it was placed.

• How should I get the images to open in their initial applications to the links Panel?

  Before moving on to my new Mac, I was able to open files in their original applications when I clicked on the edit the Original button at the bottom of the links Panel. But now everything - TIFF, EPS, and PDF - opens in preview mode before because it's the default application to open files of any link and it's really frustrating. How can I change so I can open Photoshop files in Photoshop, Illustrator EPS and PDF files in Acrobat. I know I can always go to the drop down menu to choose Edit with..., and then choose an application but I'm so used to click the button modify the Original.

  In the graph select Finder, command prompt I (file > Get Info) open with: desired application and select "replace all".

• Any way to export several columns in the links Panel?

  This was posted on the InDesign forum, suggested that there could be a script that could achieve this?

  Work on a manual with hundreds of illustrations. Each chapter has up to 100.  Need to get more than one column of data (file name and # it appears on the page) exported from the links Panel (in a sorted order) so they can be recessed into a spreadsheet. I use TextWrangler which will clear out all the names of files in a folder, but it sorts alphabetically and I really want them sort by Page numbers where they appear.

  This script creates a CSV file on the desktop that you can import into Excel. The name of the file is the same as the name of the indesign document active.

  var scriptName = "Generate list of links";
  if (app.documents.length == 0) ErrorExit("No documents are open. Please open a document and try again.");
  
  var page, allGraphics, graphic;
  var text = "File name;Page\r";
  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  
  for (var i = 0; i < doc.pages.length; i++) {
       page = doc.pages[i];
       allGraphics = page.allGraphics;
       for (var k = 0; k < allGraphics.length; k++) {
            graphic = allGraphics[k];

                 text += graphic.itemLink.name + ";" + page.name +"\r";

• Is it possible to print or extract the links Panel?

  Someone know how to print the information in the links Panel or export it to its own document for review?  I use InDesign CS4.

  Sorry to be so long getting back to you. I said that it was a basic script! All links in the doc, I wanted to analyze were image files - none of the vector graphics. There is therefore no provision for these. Graphic vector (and in PDF, for that matter) have no resolution, therefore there script errors. I'll try to post a revised, including the scaling (i.e. the size of the image relative to its original size in %, regardless of the setting, in that it is).

  // LinksReport.jsx
  // An Indesign CS3 JavaScript by Loic_aigon November 2008
  // Amended 14 July 2009
  // This script scans links in a document and produces a spreadsheet
  // (CSV) giving the document name, the linked file name, the page on which
  // it is found, its dimensions, effective PPI and scaling.
  // Links in rotated frames may give odd results.
  // See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/288626

    var s = "DocName, LinkName, Page, ImgWidth, ImgHeight, X-Res, Y-Res, X-Scale, Y-Scale";
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var doc_name = doc.name;

  See if it works for you.

• JS for images selected in the LINKS Panel

  Hi, anyone know of a JS to get the images properties e.g.name as selected (highlighted) in the LINKS Panel?

  Thank you.

  If there is exactly a link selected, you can use this technique for the link:

  try {app.menuActions.item ("go to Link") .invoke () ;} catch (e) {};}

  Who will choose the bound element and so you can review the selection to get the information you want.

  If you use a non-English version of InDesign, you will need to locate this string.

• Difficult question, why the transformation Panel said 'no shape properties' when I select a path?

  Hey, Zuko here (no, really I'm Erik)

  I have a bone to pick with the AdobeIllustrator CC race Committee.  Before, I thought I knew everything there was to know about this Panel.  But now, I hit a road block, it seems that no one else in the internet faces.  My question has to do with how the traces of the pen are treated by the race Committee and (I guess) if they are recognized as "smart shapes.

  Here's the problem: normally when I create a path with the pen tool, I can immediately afterwards, select it and transform it using the Panel forms (especially the transformation Panel).  This means that I can choose the width of profiles, create dashed lines, etc.  However, something happened to illustrator between yesterday and today (I don't know what) and now when I create a path with the pen tool and select it, the transformation panel reads: "no available shape properties." Or something between these lines.

  I am currently using Adobe Illustrator CC as I already said, my operating system is Windows 10, and the only thing that has changed in the way that I use work is connect with the intuos pen tablet.  (Not plugged in now, I'll perform an exorcism on her.)

  That's all for now, I don't have screenshots, but once I get off work in 8 hours, I'd be happy to give them.

  This is my desperate hour... Help Adobe creative community, you're my only hope. * static *.

  Erik,

  If not more specific/bright suggestions appear, you can try the list:

  Sometimes, (some) things may fail or stop working for no apparent reason. When (other) possible reasons/remedies do not work, it is perhaps a kind corruption (temporary or permanent), or even preference settings which disturbs, which can be cured with something on the following list put in place in order to provide a catch-all solution for otherwise intractable cases. It starts with a few easy suggestions and safe) 1 and 2) for cases less serious and goes two ways 3) and 4) to reset the default preferences (easily but irreversibly and more laboriously but more completely and also reversible), then follows a list 5) various other possibilities, and it ends with a complete reinstallation 6). If no other suggestion doesn't work, or if no other suggestion appears, you can start on the list and decide how to go or who can apply.

  The following is a general list of things, try when

  (A) the question is not in a specific file,

  (B) you have a printer installed, connected and turned on if it's a physical printer (you can use Adobe PDF/Acrobat Distiller as a printer by default without the need to have a printer on, of course you will need to specify when you really need print on paper), and

  (C) It is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media (see below).

  You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically may be corrupted/inconvenient preferences); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

  If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

  (1) close Illy and open again.

  (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

  (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

  4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

  5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

  Even worse, you can:

  6 (A) uninstall (check the box to delete the preferences, if any), B) run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) and C) reinstall. It is important to use this step three way: otherwise, things may persist.

• Question about the control panel user accounts in windows 7.

  This might be a bit of a strange question, but I'll see what I get. Basically when I enter the control panel via my username (not the admin account) and click on "Add or remove user accounts" and enter a password to admin, the photos on my user and admin account both fail (but they are there on the log on screen, etc.). But the guest account (which is disabled) the image of bag of comments showing. But if I enable the guest account, the image disappears. Strange. Any ideas how to get the pictures to show up there?

  Also, I will add that this occurs only in the standard user, not my account Admin accounts I converted my standard account to an administrator account, and the pictures then decided to appear.

  Thanks for your time.

  I have the same problem, and that this does not affect my usage, I don't worry in this regard. Frankly, I was wondering that myself...

• text appears as link in the links Panel.

  How can I ask Panel LINKS of Indesign to NOT show any of the type as a link (then the MISSING MIDDLE) in this Panel... before the fact... which I suppose is preferences, but I can not find, but then also I already have this problem then would he stop to recognize the type entered as a text links...

  It was probably turned on when the link was created. Turn off the preference then will not be allowed to dissociate text.

• Menu questions: breaking the links at random

  In the last 5 months, I worked on a massive site that consists of more than 70 + pages. I use a menu grid Muse mega because my customers wanted a 100% width menu type drop-down. I have since upgraded Muse 2 - 3 times and am having nothing but problems with the menu. For example, if you go to the navalicompany.businesscatalyst.com site and try clicking on the industry in the main navigation that is not related. I have linked this page over and over again only to have Muse forget the link again. I can't tell you how many times I have to fire the menu. You can imagine 70 + pages multiplied the number of times I had to manually make corrections and it comes out in the hundreds, or even thousands of corrections. This laborious task is largely to the fact that my client wants as the header to stick on the top, so I need the item header and menu on each page (not master pages). Can you help me at all and I would like to know why the menu continues to forget it is link. I'm way late to launch this site and I'm getting tired of this question. Help, please! Thank you!
