Script on El Capitan editor sent me some irreparable, recurring spinning ball

Context: update of El Capitan, recent MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM, Script Editor 2.8.1 asks:

I had several scripts and Preview.sdef open and had worked for a few hours, including the registration of scripts, without incident and tried to save my work on a new script and met the spinning ball.  This happens sometimes, requiring a Force Quit.  So I Force quit.  Try to reopen the script editor: immediate spinning ball.  Restart the computer.  Try to reopen the script editor: ball spinning again.

for example, I'm not impossible to open the Script Editor.

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot appreciated.

William

Hello

Hold down the SHIFT key when you start the Script Editor, which should prevent the application to return to the last saved state that fell down or damaged in this case, try.

Good luck

    Hello Kluggerjo,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

    I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

    If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with such topics on my Mac. When you position the cursor on one of these positions (with the exception of the mailboxes), you should see the Word display / hide it on the right. Click view, if that's what you see.

    In the category of the mailboxes, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small tip of arrow. If the arrow points to the right, click it so that it points downwards.

    Also note that you may need to scroll the list of mailboxes upwards or downwards to see it all.

  • Functions in the script being not recognized after objects as some point

    Hi all

    I wonder if someone has understood why after normally 300 to 500 lines of JavaScript in a Script object, sometimes functions to the end are no longer recognized by the XFA processor when they are referenced ("' TypeError: Scripts.myFunction is not a function" ").

    When re-sort, further to the top of the script object, they work as expected. The line on which it no longer recognizes functions also is not always the same and I worked with some script objects with more than 800 lines with all functions still work.

    I tested Designer 9 and 10, Reader 8 9 and 10.

    At least let me know that I'm not the only one. I knew another developer who had encountered the same problem.

    Kyle

    I've never had a problem with big scripts, even with 1000 or more lines.

    Did you test your scripts JSLint?

    Dirty syntax can always have side effects.

  • When you run the script via VMware tools when power changed, some commands in script (as a copy) has failed.

    I came across a very strange question. I tried to create some custom vmware scripting tools, such as a new .bat file. This file contains a large number of orders, mostly as copy command "copy file://\\192.168.172.5\abc.exe c:\. ». I set this file as a custom script for Script event - power on guest operating system. Everything goes well with the bat file when I tested it. But after that I changed the State of power to power on, all other commands work fine except the copy commands in the bat file. Why? How can I make it work? Of course the problem of network. And that makes me very confused.

    Hello

    First copy the files on local disk was OK.

    If this works for local disk, but not to a network drive, then hit you indeed a permissions issue any.

    But if I run the script with tools VMware service script, the commands of copy (of the remote shared folder) failed while other controls worked well. I'm quite confused.

    In fact, it is easily explained. The VMware tools service (Yes, it's a service) runs under the account Local system and by default, the local system account has no access to the network for security reasons. You can change the user of the service runs under and see if that solves your problem (very likely)

    To do this, go to computer management (right-click icon desktop, select 'Manage') and open Services and Applications, service page, locate the VMware Tools service in the list. Select properties, log on to the page tabs and change account at your own Local System account. Restart the service and it should work.

  • Script opens the Toolbox Editor.

    I built my first script to AE, but whenever I run EI he starts with the Toolbox Editor, which is a bit annoying. Anyone know what would cause this? The script works very well, just open the box editor toolbox before it runs, and then evertime I use it again once it brings box editor tools in the home until I can start acutally using the script.

    This occurs only with this script not others so I think it's something, I did or left in when I copy and paste examples of scripts.

    I'm sure it's a total newb question, but would be really acknowledging the help, thanks!

    FYI, im it works in CS5 on Mac w/Lion.

    Just figured it out. I had a ' $.writeln ' the function called in a function and the function (didn't that would launch the editor) MBR. Thanks for the help though!

  • After the update of its El Capitan in Facetime after some went dry

    Hi all, after upgrading to El Capitan 10.11.1, sound in time face / Skype etc... suddenly disappeared after less than a minute. This occurs also during playback of a short film of a Web page. When the up and down volume change and or mute not working. When doing a hand clap on the other side of the conversation facetime returning to normal, but after a few minutes, the noise disappeared again. Help, please. Checked the settings of the sound, all normal.

    Welcome them

    If you do something that would normally produce a sound, like the reading of a film. The sound works for a minute, then it stops. When you repeat the action, the same thing happens again. Is this fair?

  • Re: Error in Script in the skin Editor

    I posted this in response to the following discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/603151 but think it deserves its own post, because it was not solved by the solution presented.

    My company is running Internet Explorer 7 as its browser default and recently installed frame chrome. I was editing a robohelp project this week and met the following error message when I open the skin Editor:

    IE Script Error.jpg

    When I opened the published webhelp, I had the same problems described elsewhere in the forums with the table of contents and search does not. I edited the whver.js file using the specifications indicated by piersh in the discussion above without success.

    Additional information:

    • I use RoboHelp 8
    • Functuonality is very well when tested in Firefox
    • Published and on-site testing
    • Tested from two additional computers to a shared network drive

    mbrouill, you did the changes in the file whver.js in your program files or the WebHelp output folder? I found that the error in the WebHelp skin Editor dialog box has disappeared when I changed the file whver.js in C:\Program Files\Adobe\RoboHelp 8\RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_stock\ (see response of m_d_uk2 to http://forums.adobe.com/message/3715435#3715435#3715435). If you edit the file in the Program Files folder, the file whver.js in the WebHelp folder updates automatically whenever you rebuild assistance.

  • Virtual identity plugin and file sent by default to local folders

    When you use a virtual identity, to crush my default "From" e-mail address my copies of sent email be sent to the "Local Folders" rather than the correct account sent folder.

    I checked my account settings and they are positioned (Tools-> accounts setting - > account-> Copies & folders)

    The 'Identities' research, I don't have a single identity put in place for this account, which, while they inspected, has the good Copies & folders.

    I'm assuming that because I'm using an e-mail address that does not match the email address for the unique identity stored somewhere that Thunderbird is defaulting to 'Local Folders'

    One can tell me how I can configure the sent relief records used by Thunderbird if it is unable to match an identity for account IMAP rather than 'Local Folders' folder

    I had a quick glance and a play with some of the settings in the configuration editor (search for "sent"), but it seems that when I change the references in there nobody@Local%20Folders/sent to nobody@Account/sent I do not save copies of sent messages

    It was working until a few weeks ago, I guess when I upgraded TB

    TB Version: 38.0.1
    Version of Virtual Identity: 0.9.32

    Thank you
    Stephen

    I never had a reply back from the developer of virtual identity.

    However, I found a solution.

    Enter the configuration editor and reset all the values found with the sent search pattern and then remove the account in question, restart thunderbird, then adding the account back.

    Then, I went in again and sought configuration editor "sent".

    I found the correct setting in the mail.identity.X.fcc_folder for the account, then copied this value in the mail.identity.defaut.fcc_folder

    Now everything works fine.

  • Action Script conversion?

    I'm trying to convert all my actions of scripts, and I have around 7 or 8 left of the actions, which are beyond my newbie script capabilities

    Is it possible that there is something out there that will convert an action to a script, or is that just wishful thinking?

    I use the latest version of Photoshop (CC 2015.5) on OS X El Capitan.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Try Xtools has a script that converts Scripts Actions.  The Script look like the action step is hard-coded.  You must edit the converted script if you want to add in some logic.

  • External editors

    It's amazing to me that the internal editor of Acrobat is limited to such a small amount of code, which requires an external editor.

    My problem: I need to transfer all of my javascript code from a PDF form to another file. I don't have to remember what "elements" have been changed.

    However, I tried several editors and the results have been bad: Acrobat Pro XI would be just "hangs".

    This includes:

    (1) visual SlickEdit V11

    (2) Windows 7 Wordpad (write.exe)

    However, I was able to get Win 7 notebook to work (which was surprising for me!).

    But it's a crap editor of rudimentary.

    What is the best to use external editor who has some intellisense for Javascript... which is optimal for the badly matched tasks {}.

    Notepad ++?

    You use the text editor and not a word processor, Write.exec or integrated coding environment. Notepad ++ or TextPad are both capable when properly configured for the type of file being processed.

    See the following free documentation provided by Adobe:

    Using an external editor

    Specification of additional features to your editor

    The PDF functions moving from a PDF file to another can be easily done by inserting a PDF file with the code in another PDF and document level functions will be added to the PDF document level scripts. Also actions such as print, print, will save, did save, close, etc. is merged in the combined PDF file. Open page and actions closely page will remain associated with the page and all the scripts in a field will remain in the fields. Once you get the scripts combined PDF needed, you can delete the page.

    You can even use FDF files to import document level scripts.

  • ACROBAT STARTUP SCRIPT NOT WORK (with extendscript Tooklkit CS6)

    Hello

    I lived in programming, but beginning in the JS script in CS6.

    I developed some scripts in the Acrobat XI Pro console, now I wan't to install this global script that can be called by a menu.

    I'm working on Windows 7, with 64-bit:

    The path of the script is:

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Javascripts

    the script name is Confg.js

    The script is created with editor Extendscript Tooklkit CS6

    only contains this line:

    App.Alert ("Hey, since a script running in the world");

    I expect that an alert is poping up, when I opened Acrobat Pro XI with any PDF file:

    for a change

    app.addMenuItem ({cName: 'Test Menu', cParent: 'Help', cExec: "app.alert ('Menu Item Test'); '" "});

    does not work either

    After the opening of PDF Pro XI with an arbitry PDF, I get an error in the console:

    Acrobat Version mit integrierten EScript-Funktionen 11.0

    Acrobat SOAP 11.0

    SyntaxError: illegal character

    1:folder - Level: App:Config.js

    If I created the file with a text editor, things work perfectly, as expected.

    If I change this own file with Extendscript Tooklkit CS6 editor , even after the file is corrupted. This is Jean-Claude clumsy. Any solution, so I can work with Extendscript Tooklkit CS6 editor?



    Without seeing the file 'text' produced by Extendscript Toolkit in a hex editor, it is rather difficult to say. If there is a code of control buried in the text file.

    Acrobat supports all UI development because most of the scripts are quite small.

    Another problem may be that Extendccript does not add tags suitable scripts when editing Acrobat JS in Acrobat.

    Acrobat is not one of the programs listed, which is accompanied by Extendscript.

  • Width height in the calculation script

    Hi, I want to script to compare all layers in psd with photo with width and height IE one background of psd is open script will read the value of the layer as Photoshop PSD, whether portrait

    or landscape somehow tell by its width and height if the height is greater than width than his portrait vice versa and then compare with photo by opening it in sequences or first it will read the value of picture to compare with layer.if there me even instead of landscape, and to place was same , then it will perform action otherwise it will again open psd.and with compare same photo

    You don't need a new script.  All you need to do is create a template PSD adhering to my four rules. They are very simple.

    The four rules:

    1. Models of photo collage for the desired print size - width and height of the size and DPI print resolution.
    2. Photo collage templates must have a background layer in Photoshop. The content of this layer can be anything.
    3. Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Picture 1", "Picture 2"... "Picture n".
    4. Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to reveal the images which will be placed below them.

    We do not just pop out a script complex. Peek at my scripts with a text editor, there are a lot of design and programming involved.  I don't have no idea of what size and resolution you want your collage to have.  Also, I have no idea what are the elongation of your images.  With this knowledge, it should take only a few minutes to create a model 10 for sure.

    I created a template for you last example using size 30 "x 12" at 200 dpi and 6 images of different aspect ratio. There are still a few tilt in the image 3 and 5.  You can download the template http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/6images.psd

    I've only used a background layer.  I don't have add and upper cover layer however the alpha channel, I created for image 6 will allow some of the background show through the image 6.  Here is a screenshot with the template in Photoshop and including a populated version. Also just copy my scripts in Photoshop Presets\scripts folder and use Photoshop in the menu file > Scripts > selected My Script. The Toolbox extendedscript has problems with some things.
