Hi,
I get the following message when trying to install the extension. I have no programs running. Have you seen this before? The file in question doesn’t exist inside the directory.
The file ‘C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS3\Configuration\Commands\bs.js’ is being used by Fireworks CS3. Please close Fireworks CS3 and try again.
Cheers, Wayne
I think that has to do with the fact that Extension Manager has to be run as Administrator in Windows for it to work properly.
What Windows version are you running?
You were right. Should have know. Windows 7 by the way. Many thanks!
What is the difference between the keyboard shortcuts?
You mean between CS3/CS4 versions, or between the different sets (Standard, Freehand, Photoshop…)?
How does the Slices as CSS Sprite work?
Check http://orangecommands.com/2010/10/04/orange-commands-1-6-now-with-100-more-sprites/ for details. I’ll try to make the documentation for the commands a bit more verbose :)
After the installation I cant seem to find the Fireworks CSX, Its not there, where is it?
Sorry, it looks like I didn’t make that step very clear…
“Fireworks CSX” means “Fireworks CS3″, “Fireworks CS4″ or “Fireworks CS5″, depending on the version you’re using.
For Windows 7 it will be the following path:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Fireworks CSX\LANGUAGE\Keyboard Shortcuts
Where CSX will be your version number like for actual 5.1 in german language and user Thomas it would look like e.g.:
C:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Fireworks CS5.1\German\Keyboard Shortcuts
Hope this helps!
Thank you very much, Thomas!
After installing, when I run the ‘Fill Color’ command by clicking through the menu, it works. However, once I assign a keyboard shortcut to that command, the program freezes (get a never-ending Mac beachball spinner) and a little window saying “Script: Fill Color.jsf”. Any idea what could be causing the script to hang?
Not really, but we’ll try to fix it together :)
The bug with the ‘Script: …’ window is actually not fixable by me (though I hear Adobe is doing something about it) but we can maybe find a workaround that won’t trigger it. Please let me know your Fireworks & OSX versions, computer configuration, and any other extension you may have installed that could be conflicting with Orange Commands.
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 Fireworks CS5, version 11.0.0.484 8 GB ram 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
List of Fireworks extensions from Adobe extension manager:
-Add arrowheads -Add picture frame -Add shadow -Adjustments panel -Align panel -ALT Text Commands -Convert color commands -Create shared palette -Data-driven graphics wizard -Adobe AIR extension for Fireworks -Layers commands -Reset warnings dialog -Resize selected objects -Twist and fade -Orange commands
It’s funny. I’ve never had that bug happen with the ‘Fill Color’ command, and just this afternoon I’ve suffered it two times…
I’ll do my best to pinpoint the error and try to fix it.
Not working, I am using Fireworks CS5 and its while installing it shows that ” This Extension requires the following products such as Fireworks CS3 or greater” How funny…!
I agree that’s a weird bug :)
There’s two possible causes:
.mxp file is opening with Extension Manager CS5.5 and you have Fireworks CS5
sometimes, Extension Manager “forgets” you have Fireworks installed
There’s just one way (that I know of) to fix this: open Fireworks, and choose “Manage Extensions” from the Help menu. This will open the correct EM version, and you can just click the ‘Install’ button from there.
Hope it helps!
