Text variables - file extension cannot be disabled
Hello
I have a number of documents that have been created to CS6. All these contain a simple text variable showing the name of the file. When I opened these docs in CC, the text variable now shows the file name extension. I turned off this option in the text set up variables, but the extension still shows:
Am I missing one setting somewhere else?
Thanks in advance.
Is indesign CC updated latest patch 9.2?
I have test it with indesign cs6, it works perfectly.

file extension cannot be opened
My daughter has a Slimline 400-034pc. It is currently running 64 bit of Windows 8. This morning she told me that she could not open the extender 'file' you can hover your mouse over the folder and can see what it is - but it does not open on the screen. So tht means she can see his hard drive or external hard drive. We did a system restore in the hope of making it work. Who have done nothing. Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

Is it possible to turn the dilemma 2 projects (.2qn file extension) in Adobe Captivate 8 projects? I tried to save the embarrassing situation in a text file, but Captivate wouldn't import correctly.
Hello
I've never seen such a method. I think you will find that you must simply recreate your dilemma inside Captivate project and forget all means of import.
The only thing that comes to mind would be to import the project dilemma in PowerPoint. (Assuming that such a thing exists) then import the PPT in Captivate. But you wouldn't be able to make everything connect.
See you soon... Rick

text variables are missing after making a variable custom without files open?
I had a client variable text with no files open in the hope to make it available to ALL of my files. Well, makes long fire... when I open an existing file, I don't see not all variables except if I go and make a new one.
Text variables appear only when I make a new file.
A way to solve this problem?
That's how a preference, including variables, work. All new files inherit from these elements, the existing files are left alone. If you need these variables in the existing files, you can import them from an existing file that has them... that would be all new file containing the.
For the above, go to Type, text Variables, define, then charge, go to any document that has, make sure the variables you want to include in the existing/old document are checked. If there is a conflict, you can choose what to do.

Cannot display file extension appropriate when recording
I use Photoshop elements 9. When I want to save a file in a different format, the file name will not change. If I opened it in jpeg format, and after adjusting the image, I want to save it in photoshop format, will not change the extension.
I went into preferences / saving files. When I set it to always show the file extension it does not change the preferences.
No idea why? Elements 8 it was no problem.
Mary Lou
Yes, it is a known bug in the mac version of PSE 9, Mary Lou. If you go into Preferences > saving files, it is enough to trigger it. The solution, such as it is, is to delete the preferences (Ctrl + Shift + option) and not go back:
http://forums.Adobe.com/message/3302433#3302433
or otherwise, type the file extension in manually.

Cannot get DW to recognize new file extensions
I try to get DW to recognize the following file extensions to HTML: .pt, .zpt and without extension.
I tried to follow the instructions in the section "change and adding file extensions recognized by Dreamweaver MX": I entered two extensions in uppercase in the: all documents and: HTML documents lists in file Extensions.txt. And (just like a guess) I tried to enter two successive commas, hoping that they would be interpreted as "no extension".
None of these things helped me to open files in the "files" list in DW. I just get 'Could not find a Publisher valid for this file extension.'> How is DW open
> a file that was thrown on top of Plone, but it will not open the same file from
> its own list of "Files"?DW is open to any file with or without file extension. It's just that if
There is no file extension, it opens in code view only and is not
considered as being in one listed in the MMDocumentTypes.xml file groups
He is not in a server model, there is no coloration of the code, etc.--

Dreamweaver 2015 CC - extension cannot be installed - version 6 or later
Hello

I see in the post above, that it is mentioned
"It seems that Dreamweaver cannot find the extensions Manager.
Here's a way to check if dreamweaver 13 is installed or not:
(1) install "Extendscript Toolkit CC" compared to the creative clouds
(2) launch, enter "BridgeTalk.__diagnostics__;" (excluding quotation marks)
(3) click on "Debug-> Run", you can get the information in the "Javascript Console" window at the top right.
(4) check if dreamweaver-13, 0 have been listed in the "Objectives" section, and they have the path correct and exename. Alternatively, you can paste this information out here. "

File extension showing although not controlled
I'll update a book created in a version earlier than InDesign.
For each chapter, the individual file name is on top the pages inserted as a text variable.
In the old version, it worked well, but when you open the file in InDesign CC (2015) the file extension is visible, even though the file extension check box is not selected.
If I save the file and replaces the original version without making any changes and reopen it the extension file is gone! Am I missing something? Or is there a smart way to solve this problem other than to open a backup all files in chapter?
Thanks for any help
Erling
He brought it, I'd do the update in the original version. Books (.indb) don't upgrade to new versions very well. If you can't do this, I have all files for exporting to IDML, open those and save as new .indd files I want to add to a book .indb file

When you create a smart collection certain file extensions are not available
I wanted to create a smart collection in Bridge CS6. When you specify the .skp files file extension-based collection, the sketchup file extension is not available on the menu drop-down. How do you add new file extensions to the list that appears.
How do you add new file extensions to the list that appears.
As Curt said, you cannot change the criteria for the list yourself, but there are workarounds.
Choose: Filename Contains / and in the text box add: .skp
If your source contains multiple Sketchup files in different folders, this should give you the correct result

Maintaining the automatic numbering in the text variables?
I have typeset manuals that often have several levels of headings in a single chapter. The editor I work has a style where the first 3 levels, or of the positions will be numbered, 8, 8.1, 8.1.1. No problem. Set up the paragraph styles with auto numbering, each title to another level added for automatic numbering, and it works like a charm. The only problem is that common titles are also supposed to include these numbers with the topics. The left page, the title of the chapter, is so good because I can just insert the chapter number before the current title paragraph style text variable: 8. "chapter title." But the right page must indicate the chapter number, first number of lower level and title (8.1 "topic"). When I use a text for this variable, the numbering created by the original paragraph style disappears from the topic. If I give the leader running his own style of paragraph numbered on the master page, it will always tell '. " 1,"even when the topic changes because there is nothing for him say to start a new number. For my current project, the first sublevel of the section change every 4 or 5 pages. So I'm hoping someone can help me find a way, I don't have to do it manually. Can inDesign keep autodial? Can anyone recommend a script possible or plug-in? All comments will be welcomed with gratitude!

So I'm hoping someone can help me find a way, I don't have to do it manually. Can inDesign keep autodial? Can anyone recommend a script possible or plug-in? All comments will be welcomed with gratitude!
Thanks for the question. I saw this problem, but never had the need to work around him... until now!
Variable text header running InDesign cannot capture the numbering of the paragraph.
To work around it:
Implementation:
To create a character style to be used as a style nested within the lower level paragraph style. For testing and editing, assign a color of character; for use, change the color of the characters None or paper.
To create a cross-reference format that captures only one paragraph Autonumbering.
Create a character-style-based running header text variable to capture the reference; insert it into the master page.
Use:
* At the end of the lower level heading, insert a special character the end Style nested here.
Continuation of the nested end marker style, insert a reference to the paragraph, using the single paragraph number format.
The cross reference will be the color of the characters of the nested character style "fakednumber".
The variable based on the character style to a running header text will seize the number of referrals.
* For final hand, change the color of the style of characters fakednumber None or paper.
Notes:
Cross reference is placed at the right end of the paragraph of title rather than at the beginning, to avoid moving the header text. If he has withdrawal is sufficient between real auto-nombre of the paragraph and the beginning of the title, it would be possible to insert the cross-reference it.
* Because the cross-reference occupies space on the line of position even when it is invisible, remember that it does not cause the line to be returned on a new line. You can set the size of character fakednumber style property as a very small, same font size reduce the horizontal scale, in order to minimize the risk of a new packaging line, as well as defining its color to None or paper to make it invisible.
* When preparing a book for final hand, you can change the character of the fakednumber style definition in the Source of the Style file and synchronize it with all the other files in the book, or you can perform a search and replace across all files in Notepad to replace the instances found visible from fakednumber with the invisible style.
* To simplify the modification of the definition of fakednumber from the visible to the invisible, consider creating two files of model to this end; one contains the definition of visible, the other contains the definition of the invisible. Load character style definition in the style source, and then synchronize the character on the book styles.
Mission possible:
* To simplify this task in the future, nag Adobe do running variable header text capable of capturing the numbering by filing an official request here: Adobe - feature request/Bug Report Form.

How to use text Variables to make running footers
I'm confused about how the text Variables behave in the creation of the execution of the footers on a pair of master page.
My document has 3-6 steps on each page. Each step is designated by a unique character called StepName style.
I want a running footer that has the first instance of StepName on the left page and the last instance of StepName on the right page. As in a dictionary.
I can get the correct text to appear, but she then adds an unwanted definition (a letter from the lower level) who gives me this:
(A) open file
When what I want is simply this:
Open the file
The character Style StepName is not based on any other model.
I've seen this fact but can't understand why I'm picking up a regime of lettering on the footer.

Looks like you have a numbered list in the paragraph of your footer style. It is part of the footer paragraph style or local form is implemented. Whatever it is, you can disable it by clicking the numbered list in the paragraph Panel or the main control panel section. Or you can change the style and slot of the lists to chips and numbered, set on any list.

Plugin data for a possible evolution of file Extension?
Hello
I have files with the same file format data in files from there. Problem: the file extension is never the same, only the first 2 letters:
My extension is: *.pa + a number incrementing
Example *.pa01, *.pa02; *. PA03, etc..
I tried to define * .pa use expansion, but it does not work. DIAdem allways aks me what Plugin data should be used for the file.
Someone at - it an idea to set a file Extension variable?
Thanks in advance
Hi Marco,.
Unfortunately, we do have an elegant solution for you. It was the case that you can define extensions of use with one or more '? ' character, but that doesn't seem to work more in DIAdem 11.0. My only suggestion is that you can list on all variants in the file extension string:
*. PA01, *.pa02; *. PA03...
Who has at least 100 different file extensions, you must set this one right channel
I hope that this limitation will get some attention in the future.
