The place of simple script for Windows

I used a simple Applescript on my Mac of Indesign for years called Square Up CS installation. It's a handy little script that is by default an object selected into a simple retangle. I think this is extremely helpful when I missed a text box properties accidentally moving a corner or who need to return to a normal text box after changing his shape for some reason any. I am moving to a Windows computer full time and would like good port this script on my new computer, but I'm not a guru script and don't have no idea how to write this in Javascript. Anyone able to help?

Tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"

'the class gbnd' selection value {a, b, c and d}

the value 'category plst' of 'class ppth' 1 selection to {{b, a}, {a}, {d, c}, {b, c}}

tell the end

Hi, Diane.

Step we must translate the Applescript coding in human readable Applescript, what make you it stick in the Applescript editor and pressing on the compilation. You get this:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
    set {a, b, c, d} to geometric bounds of selection
    set entire path of path 1 of selection to {{b, a}, {d, a}, {d, c}, {b, c}}
end tell

Second step:

Here is the translation in Javascript. Note that in JavaScript, berries (geometric boundaries and paths) start the meter to zero, rather than one, both "path 1" becomes "paths [0]", etc. ; [in addition, we refer to ' app.selection [0 '] instead of 'selection', because there may be multiple selections and AppleScript lets say 'selection' as meaning first, but JavaScript requires you to be explicit:

var abcd, a, b, c, d;
abcd = app.selection[0].geometricBounds;
a=abcd[0]; b=abcd[1]; c=abcd[2]; d=abcd[3];

app.selection[0].paths[0].entirePath = [ [b,a], [d,a], [d,c], [b,c] ];

I'm not 100% sure what is your test case, so if it turns out that the order of the numbers in the entirePath table is different between Javascript and AppleScript, then something can go wrong. I don't think, but please test it od.

  • Are there drivers for the recorder sony icd-bp150 for windows 7

    Are there drivers for the recorder sony icd-bp150 for windows 7? I can't recorder to work with the current drivers of dvr3. It works on XP machines but not my computer windows 7...

    Hello sconley3.

    I did some further research and found that, if the worm Software Digital Voice Editor 3.3 is compatible with Windows 7 OS, the recorder itself is not compatible with Windows 7 OS.

    However, you can try to transfer the files from the recorder to a computer with Windows 7 OS installed in it, using the stereo mini plug cable.
    Plug one end of the cable to the headphone jack of the recorder mini stereo jack.
    Plug the other end of the cable to the Microphone Jack on the computer.

    You can follow the link below to transfer files using mini cable plug.

    Hello
     
    Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker. Some files also require you to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.
    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • How can I disable the auto restart (following updates) for Windows 7 Home Premium (without messing around w / the register)?

    Hello.  About all of the weeks I have my upload computer files from one day to the next.  It's a 17-hour process, and I don't want the computer off or restarted during this process.  Murphy's law usually results in an update windows & restart related happening whenever I put my computer to download said.  First of all, it is deeply annoying that windows would reboot my computer without asking me (Yes, I realize he asks you, and if you are away for an extended period, he just goes ahead and does it... but really, what the $#! % is the point of asking you if she goes ahead and that anyway when you get him just enough early?)  Wow!  Incredibly retarted the Windows for this.)  But anyway, how can I disable this for Win7 Home Premium?  (As if in the first place is not quite annoying, making it virtually impossible to figure out how to turn it off is like adding insult to injury).  Please NOTE, I've seen some other forum post responses on this site that is: (1) link to an information page on the group policies for system administrators, but nowhere does really explain where and how to access these policies and change them!  (2) has a process that begins with 'gpedit.msc' running, but when I started > box to search for this file, there is no result.  (3) the hacking the registry (seriously?  Please, don't.)  SO, please tell me how to disable the auto restart, step by step, without messing with the registry, for WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM.  Ideally, I'd like to be able to potentially re - activate cela in the future and/or switches back as my usage dictates.  And for the record, it's nut that's not a simple option toggle any, as when my computer or monitor sleeps...  Thank you!!

    Thank you.  I'll do it and change my Windows Update settings.  BUT, FYI, in an act even more incredible, the same night I posted my question here, my computer was said upload, and I was still in place at 03:00 (when Windows is set to d/l and install updates).  I went to the kitchen for a bit and returned to my computer to find a countdown - he downloaded updates and "will re-start in 7 minutes" or so and counting down... I said "AH HA!"  I caught you! "I clicked the button of REPORTER and went to bed smiling that I myself had saved wasting many hours of work.  But when I woke up the next morning... HE HAD DONE IT AGAIN!  This means that it is: (1) downloaded another "critic" (cough) update later in the evening, which seems likely because it took to do this at 03:00 and had already done so... or (2) the REPORTER button defers only during a certain period of time (maybe an hour, or even less, by the look of it) and then do it again anyway.

    This is ridiculous.  As it is not ridiculous to called 9 10 patches 'critical', so critical that an urgent restarting your computer is necessary EVEN IF HE is BUSY WORKING, the substitution of the computer user asks to postpone and reboot anyway is absolutely unacceptable.  How the manufacturers of Windows might think this makes sense, let alone was a good idea?  Reporter should make the computer restarts DO NOT until * I * say he is allowed to do.

    In this case, finish the work of 17 hours, that the computer was in the Middle has been MUCH more critical that whatever is downloaded updated.  NO doubt about it.  I know.  Apparently, my operating system is not smart enough to know.  So to take it upon himself to replace my reporter application is crazy.  And in addition, the operating system MUST be smart enough to understand this - it's really not that difficult - if the computer is a lot of work, something intense, a download that is not finished, a sort of bar of ANY progress on ANY application which is not 100% yet, etc., it should be smart enough to WAIT to reboot anyway.

    Thanks again once, change Windows Update settings so it will download updates but let me choose to install them, since this operating system is so poorly thought.
