Currently, the default method of trying new plugins is a bit of a pain, since every time you copy or delete the plugins, you have to go throug UAC.
Personally, I have made a symlink from under Paint.net's folder to my profile, but this only works on single-user machines. Additionally, every time I update Paint.net, I have to remake the symlink because the updater replaces it with a normal folder.
I know Adobe hasn't seen fit to include an autosave function in any version of Photoshop. I consider that the height of arrogance and stupidity. Some will argue the time it takes to auto-save files doesn't justify it's inclusion. The time and effort in creating the work is equal justification for such a feature. Why should I have to remember to save every 10 minutes or so when I have no idea when the silly program will suddenly crash on me for no good or explained reason? Why should I be put through that kind of stress that will affect my creative workflow? As an alternative it would be helpful to find some third party software, plugin that would do the same thing. It would be good if it could be set to a timed response. An action might do it but it still require manual activation.

Any suggestions?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to create an action where a user is able to choose from a particular set of patterns (created by me) and excluding all the others (that may be present otherwise) from view. My action is currently working either from choosing from the whole pattern set (using insert menu item in the action), or a single pattern of my choice. (no insert item menu used).
I want the user to choose from my set of pattern in this particular instance but not the others that are currently in the presets.
I had the idea of making the action replacing temporarily the patterns with my set (replace patterns in the drop down menu) and then reset or load the user's set at the end of the action. It made me think that maybe people wouldn't want me to mess with their presets in an action.
I am currently using PSCS4.
I can either use a new pattern layer or a new "blank layer" with a pattern overlay (layer style)
I am really looking for a spark that'll light my Eureka moment.
is it possible to write a plug in that runs when a user does something.example. you start inventor and open a assembly file the user selects a part and the plugin automatically runs.no pussing buttons, no quick key, it just runs.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a script to create a new AI document with a restricted swatchbook. The designer is supposed to use only the swatches/inks provided by this script. So far I was able to delete all current swatches and add a CMYK or RGB spotcolor swatch.
var inkt02 = app.activeDocument.spots.add();
inkt02.name = 'inkt 2';
inkt02.colorType = ColorModel.SPOT;
var kleur02 = new CMYKColor();
kleur02.black = 10;
kleur02.cyan = 80;
kleur02.magenta = 0;
kleur02.yellow = 90;
inkt02.color = kleur02;
var newSpotColor = new SpotColor();
newSpotColor = inkt02;
newSpotColor.tint = 100;
thePallet.addSpot(newSpotColor);
Often we will be dealing with Pantone colors. No need to define these, as they are inside AI already, right? But how to call them from the library? I'm new to ExtendScript.
I need to call the .js file through command prompt. And also through programming language like c++, java. This is for "illustrator cs".

Imagine a layer containing 10 squares, each square is isolated (none are touching). I need a quick way to put each of those squares on its own layer. Is there something already built in, or any plugin or action?
View 12 Replies View RelatedAfter getting Vault installed on our server and successfully setting up users and connections, I used the Library Transfer Guide to move our Content Center (including custom) to the Vault. I then changed the Inventor Application Options -> Content Center -> Access Options to Autodesk Vault Server.
This seems to have worked, as I can Place from Content Center when in an assembly, and it is pulling standard content as well as our custom files properly from the vault. However, in the instructions that I used for the installlation, it was suggested to stick with a standard folder structure within the Vault, namely two Library Folders named 'Content Center Files' and 'Libraries' and also a regular folder named 'Designs'.
I created those folders prior to transferring the library, as I thought they would be populated with the standard/custom content. This was not the case and I am curious when these folders come into play? *they are empty*
Also, today I will be attempting to 'Check In' a project to the Vault that I recently completed; does this usually maintain structural relationships between files?
Would you recommend using a single project structure in vault for two people? It seems, since we won't be working on the same project at the same time, having a single project would not be relavant to our situation..

Is there a method available to have the plugin pause and wait for a user to click some object, then continue? Or does all user interaction have to happen before/after the plugin is run?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen working with multiple documents, and I switch from the "current" document to another, is there some way I have to notify my plugin that I have a different document, or does my plugin always ASSUME it is working on the "current" document. I ask this in conjunction with Dictionarys, as when I switch documents, I cannot access what I think is the dictionary for the current document. Is there some type of document-dictionary relationship I am missing ?

Aome type of vector library plugin for Illustrator CS6. I need somewhere I can drag commonly used vector elements in illustrator (similar to that of the library in indesign), in the past I used dbpalette from Baby-Universe but they have no idea when its going to be updated, so I'm on the search for a replacement. I tried the symbol library but never had much luck with it. I'm on a MacPro running 10.8.3.
