Batch processing with Script Events Manager

Hello all,
I use the Script Events Manager to run a group of actions on a single file during the file open event.
This workflow works well when dealing with a small quantity of files.
Is there an efficient way to apply simultaneously a group of actions to folder of images?
The PSCC Batch processor, Image Processor and Image Processor Pro only allow the use of one action at a time.
I have try creating a combo action which includes a group of actions to run in the Batch Processor and Image Processor.
When doing so I receive an error message from the Image processor and dialogs that from the Batch processor that suspend
the program activity. I have had no luck with a combo droplet as well.

My system has 8 Gb of Ram and 4 processors. I doubt it's the system. I've had problems with CS Master Collection since day one. My main complaint is the ******* tabs and interface. Everything is so chunky. CS2 was smooth as butter. They keep making their products use more RAM and it's ridiculous. The tabs don't help, they only make life harder.
Thanks for the suggestions, I was hoping not to have to reinstall PS, but looks like it's the only option.

Problem with Script Events Manager buttons not showing up

Hi,
First off let me say that the latest release of Adobe products is a steaming pile of @#$#$.
Countless software issues, it's slow, buggy, you name it.
That being said, has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it.
My Script Events Manager is broken. Yes broken. The only buttons I see are "Done" and "Remove". There is no "Add" button so that I can actually add events. Someone please tell me this is user error and that I don't need to reinstall PS.

Batch processing with an image overlay

Is it possible to do batch processing with an image overlay in FW CS4?
I'm trying to resize several hundred images and place rounded corners on them.
If this cannot be done in FW, does anyone know of another program that could accomplish this?

Hi Marje,
It's possible to include both resizing and image overlay in a custom Fireworks command that can be used in batch processing. To get started, you could check out this tutorial that deals with the first step.
That article describes how to perform image resize and overlay (in that case, a watermark), and then how to record the steps and turn them into a custom command that can be later used in batch processing.
Once you saved the custom command, click File >> Batch Process, and follow the steps below:
In the first window, select the images you want to process.
On the next screen, open the Commands dropdown menu and select the custom command you created (it'll probably be on the bottom of the list), and click the Add button to include it in the batch process list.
Finally, on the next screen select the location of the processed files, and optionally save the batch script for later use.
Good luck!

Script Events Manager settings don't stick

I'm using Photoshop CS 3 version 10.0 and I can't seem to get Script Events Manager settings to work between launches of the program.
I choose File > Scripts > Script Events Manager.
In the dialog box, I select the Enable Events to Run Scripts/Actions checkbox.
From the Photoshop Event menu I choose Open Document.
I select the Action radio button, then choose the action I want.
I click Add button.
I close Script Events Manager dialog box.
Everything works as intended, until I quit Photoshop and then launch it again, at which point the Script Events Manager settings have reverted to their default state, without my preferred Open action functioning any more.
Is there any way to get my settings to become the new default so I don't have to repeat the above steps every time I launch Photoshop?

Thanks, but I failed to mention I'm running Mac OS X 10.10.2 (Yosemite).
It reminds me of failure to save preferences problems I've had in the past with other apps. Repairing prefs with Disk Utility doesn't help, BTW.
Can anyone tell me the file name and location where this Script Events Manager setting is saved? Perhaps deleting that file and restarting will fix the issue…

Script Events Manager like photoshop

Is there any Script event manager available in illustrator as like in photoshop..?

Script Event Manager is a Photoshop script that provides an UI for adding/removing app.notifiers. A quick look at the ESTK Object Viewer for Illustrator does not list notifiers.

Batch processing with a re-save Script

i have a script that i use to re-save a master file that may or may not have many layers, channels and/or paths. when i have the master file open, i run the script and it flattens the image, deletes all the channels and paths, and then does a "save as" step saving the file as a tiff with lzw compression. this all takes place without any user input or dialogs. the script is copied at the bottom for reference.   i have made an action out of this script and it works fine everytime. the problem is that when i try to batch process multiple file with this action, it seems that regardless of which options i choose in the batch processing window for saving (e.g. "none", save and close", etc.), the action is interrupted with the usual "save as" dialog window and even though lzw is specified in the script, i also have to manually select this option in the dialog. does anyone know how to accomplish what i am trying to do (batch "save as" with lzw compression to files that are saved as uncompresseed tiffs) without having to stop for any dialogs? please help!!!! thanks.
johnh h.
if(documents.length){
var saveFile = new File(activeDocument.fullName.fsName);
SaveTIFF(saveFile);
function SaveTIFF(saveFile){
    tiffSaveOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();
    tiffSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
    tiffSaveOptions.alphaChannels = true;
    tiffSaveOptions.byteOrder = ByteOrder.IBM;
    tiffSaveOptions.imageCompression = TIFFEncoding.TIFFLZW;
    activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, tiffSaveOptions, false, Extension.LOWERCASE);

hey michael,
your reply made me curious to try something i hadn't tried before which was to run the "batch" processing from within photoshop and to my surprise it worked. however if i repeat the exact same thing from within bridge (although in bridge i am selecting multiple files instead of the enclosing folder) it runs into the same problem. so you have 1/2 solved my problem. did you actually get it to run properly from bridge (bridge/tools/photoshop/batch) or did you run it from within photoshop itself? please let me know... i am very curious to detmine the source of the problem. thanks. i appreciate the help.

Batch process Flatten Script not working?

Hi,
I used to run the this.flattenPages(); in Acrobat pro 8 with no problems, Scince ive installed 9 the batch process requires the enter button to be pressed every time it processes a file??? Is there a work around for this? Im not too good with Javascript, In Acrobat 8 I just had the one line and it worked fine?
Please help ive 80,000 files to process!
Thanks
Mike

Dont know if you have found a solution or not but you could use this as a work around.
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/index.shtml
It is a free program that you can create scripts in if you created and ran an Autoit script that would have a
;******************** auto it script not javascript ************
$count = "1"
$total = "80001"
While( $count <= $total)
sleep(100)
winwait(_______x_______,_______y_________)
send("{ENTER}")
;sleep(100)
$count = $count + 1
WEnd
;****************** end auto it script ***********************
You will want to replace the _______x________ with the exact title of your message window that wants you to hit enter on. And the _________y________ with part of the text that is in the window that wants you to hit enter on.
What it does is loop 80000 times. While looping it waits for the window with the exact title / words in it once it see that it will hit enter, add one to count and do it again.
While running script if you want to stop the auto it program a blue A is on the lower right side of screen by system clock you can right click on it and end it.
This may help you get done with them while you are searching for a better built in answer.

Batch processing with JTA not possible?

hi ng,
i'm hoping that someone can tell me if it is actually possible to use JTA transactions in non-app server spawned threads and, if so, how to do it.
The problem we have is that we need a demon thread executing updates over a cached cluster (hence the need for JTA), but sun 7 uses a thread local to store the context and transaction info, if we try to perform JTA transactions in our own thread it bombs out from trying to lookup the missing data.
We've tried to re-create what is expected in the thread local and bind it in but this is a large hack involving changing accessibility levels etc and we can't even get it to work anyway.
The other option we've considered is to do the processing in a servlet but that would make the process widely accessible.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Cam

Batch process with History Command

I want to batch process to resize pictures and have a final product as follows:
Size: 220 x 140 (this detail is not important, but should be cosistant throughout).
The final image has a feather of 10 pixels on all sides.
I tried using the History steps in which I first resized the image to desired dimensions and to achieve the feather effect I used a mask (paste as mask from the Edit menu in Fireworks cs4) using a white rectangle 5 px smaller on all sides (210 x 130) with a feather = 10px.
I saved the history as a command, but it does not run because it has difficulties recording steps where I have to tamper the rectangle (size, align, move etc.).
Another problem is that resizing the image does not honour the height consistently (but the proportions) which causes a problem with the rectangle size used for masking.
I don't mind doing this in 2 or 3 separate runs, but the final style of images should be with a feathered edge.
Would really appreciate some expert advice to run the process/es to achieve the required result.
Thank you!

Problem with Embedded Event Manager and Object Tracking

Hi,
I have a 2801 running c2801-advipservicesk9-mz.124-24.T2.bin. It has the following configuration:
track 300 list boolean or
object 10
object 11
object 12
object 13
event manager applet clear_ipsec_tunnel
event track 300 state down
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 2.0 cli command "clear crypto session"
action 3.0 syslog msg "IPSec tunnel has been cleared by clear_ipsec_tunnel applet"
My problem is that after the tracked object number 300 transitions from an up state to a down state, nothing happens. It seems like the applet doesn't work with object tracking. Here's what I see in logs:
Dec 7 21:52:32.236 MCK: %TRACKING-5-STATE: 12 ip sla 12 reachability Up->Down
Dec 7 21:52:37.236 MCK: %TRACKING-5-STATE: 13 ip sla 13 reachability Up->Down
Dec 7 21:52:57.236 MCK: %TRACKING-5-STATE: 10 ip sla 10 reachability Up->Down
Dec 7 21:53:07.236 MCK: %TRACKING-5-STATE: 11 ip sla 11 reachability Up->Down
Dec 7 21:53:07.996 MCK: %TRACKING-5-STATE: 300 list boolean or Up->Down
That's it. For some reason, the applet won't execute the CLI commands when the EEM applet is triggered. Am I doing something wrong or I have encountered some bug? Thanks.

jclarke,
Today I added the router into the tacacs server database and the applet started working just fine by using my login name. So the working configuration looks like this:
event manager session cli username "my login name"
event manager applet clear_ipsec_tunnel
event track 300 state down maxrun 30
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 2.0 cli command "clear crypto session"
action 3.0 syslog msg "IPSec tunnel has been cleared by clear_ipsec_tunnel applet"
Then I tried to use a login name from the local database that has "privelege 15" access and of course the debug output showed me this:
Dec 8 18:12:58.203 MCK: %TRACKING-5-STATE: 300 list boolean or Up->Down

So I guess this problem arises when you have command authorization enabled and the tacacs server is not reachable or something like that. I have tried to find a way to use the local database instead of using the aaa server but didn't succeed. Although I have found an interesting workaround. Here it is:
Link: http://blog.ioshints.info/2007/05/command-authorization-fails-with-eem.html
Workaround found after reading the "Executing IOS commands from Tcl shell" from the "Tclsh on Cisco IOS tutorial".
On the above article it is mentionned that the ios_config command is executed inside the context of another VTY line (also found with the AAA debug). The workaround is to define the FIRST VTY line with "transport input none" to prevent ssh or telnet to grab it and to configure the aaa authorization without any command authorization for this line.
Kind regards
Christian Chautems
Looks great, but I am not quite sure how to "configure the aaa authorization without any command authorization for this line".
Anyway, jclarke thank you so much for taking your time to look into my problem and for your help.

Batch processing with filename filter

Hi guys,
Does anyone have any idea how to run a specific action in batch along with a filename filter?
My problem is I have a folder with subfolders ie... 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004 etc all these folders have approx 100 jpg files with the same filenames in each.
a sample of my images are: landscape-oraange.jpg , landscape-blue.jpg , landscape-red.jpg , portrait-orange.jpg etc etc
I was wonder of a way to just run the specific batch action on filenames containing a certain word, for instance to apply to all files containing the word "landscape" and exclude all other files.
I cannot copy all files under the subfolders to a seperate folder and run this way... as all filenames are the exact same as the other folders.
Does anyone have any advise?
Thanks again guys, Jamie.

This might provide not quite what you are looking for but something similar.
Insert the correct Action and Set names in the line
app.doAction("Action 3", "Set 1")
and change the variable theIdentifier to the name part you want to use as a criterium.
This would work only if there are no spaces in the names by the way.
// 2012, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
// select folder;
var theFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("select folder");
if (theFolder) {
// define the name part to look for;
var theIdentifier = "Untitled";
var theFiles = theFolder.getFiles(new RegExp(theIdentifier+"\\S*.(jpg|tif|eps|psd)$", "i"));
// work through the files;
for (var m = 0; m < theFiles.length; m++) {
// open image;
var theImage = app.open(theFiles[m]);
// perform action;
app.doAction("Action 3", "Set 1")

Automator query: I want to batch process with a program that doesn't offer batch processing.

After much searching and experimenting I'm resorting to asking the direct question to see if you good folks can help me.
I would like to be able to automate some image processing with the software "SketchMee". Unfortunately this is not something that the stand alone can do on it's own. I assume Otto can help me. I would like to essentially have a directory with "raw" (unprocessed) images. Have automator...
1. open file in SketchMee (SketchMee will automatically render with previous settings)
2. save new file in new directory
3. repeat 100's and/or 1000's of times.
Seems pretty straight forward but I'm having trouble making it happen.
Does anyone have any advice or info for me here?
Note: this is not a process that can be done in iPhoto, Photoshop or Graphics Convertor.

Way better, IMHO of course, is Photoshop Elements. It is not free but you can find deals on it but if not it really isn't too expensive. For the amateur or advanced amateur it is far better than DPP (free included software) and even Lightroom.
Lightroom is designed more for a person that takes 1000's and 10,000's of photos. It has limited editing featuers.
PSE is also more user friendly that full blown Photoshop. Which you can not purchase any longer as it must be rented from Abode on a monthly basis.
There is the free Gimpshop but it is the least user friendly of the bunch and has a steep learning curve. But it is free.
Lightzone is a free copy-cat version of Lightroom.
But when you are ready for the best photo editing and RAW conversion software there is, there is nothing at the top except Photoshop.

Batch Processing with an Action

Hello everyone,
I created an Action within Photoshop CS5. I saved this action to an .atn file which then I loaded into the CORRECT directory for PSE 10.
Once in PSE I can go to Actions and I can see and properly use said Action. So I know it works.
My question/problem: Is it possible to Batch process using "Process multiple files" or something else using this Action? I know is CS5 the option is there and it is fairly straight forward, however I did not see this option anywhere within PSE.
I am hopeful that I'm missing something or there is just some trick that I don't know about.
I appreciate any help that is provided. Thanks in advance.

You would need to open the BatchWin,atn file located in (this is for win 7 and vista x64) into cs5 (these are just actions that elements uses for process multiple files)
(be sure to put a copy of the original file somewhere in case you ever need it)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\en_US\Support Files
Then add your action to the list, without any open steps in the action and you'll have to add the save step at the end of the action (the format you want to save the files in).
Then save the action set and put it back into Support Files Folder.
example of an action added:
