How do I create an Application with Automator that will open files in Photoshop Elements 11 and run an action?

Here's what I'd really like the Script to do when I select one main folder:
Look through all the subfolders, find all the PNG files and convert them to TIFFs, replacing the original PNG files.
Open the converted TIFF files in PSE 11.
Run an action on them in PSE 11 (which I already created that adds a white fill layer below the TIFF file.)
Save each file in their original location and Close each file.
Import them into LR.
Anybody?  Bueller?  Bueller?
If that's not possible, I'd love an Automator action that can convert the PNG files to TIFFs that can be viewed in LR 4.4.  If I convert them in PSE 11, LR can view them, but if I convert them using Automator, LR cannot.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

LabVIEW 7 added a property to get a command line argument. For older versions see http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3DA5B56A4E034080020E74861.
I'm not sure I understand you problem with the Run button. If you set the execution mode to Run When Opened from VI Properties, it should execute once whenever it's called. I think that when building an executable, it changes the property to this if it's not already set. If the application does not have this set, it will not be running at all. I'm assuming that you are talking about the Run button on the toolbar and not a run Boolean that you've created on the front panel.
Since you have the app builder, your other option is to create a DLL. If you can call a DLL in Matlab, then that would probably be simpler.

  • How do I create a LINK to BOOKMARKS which will open FireFox like favorites and IE ?

    Click on a 'link' in FAVORITES and the default browser will open and present the web page for the link!
    HOW do I CREATE a 'BOOKMARKS' that will display my FireFox links that will open the default browser ((FireFox)) and present the web page for the link?????

    Firefox can export your bookmarks as a web page when you exit the browser, and you can set a specific location for that, so in theory you could have a shortcut to a reasonably up-to-date version of the file. I don't know whether it can be pinned to the Windows 8 start screen, but a shortcut on the traditional desktop interface should allow this regular swapping of the target file (or you could simply save it to the desktop directly).
    To set this up, you need to do a little work in the about:config preferences editor. Note: this is based on [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/967389#answer-465903 cor-el's post here], and I haven't tried it myself yet.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''book''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML''' preference to switch it from false to true.
    When Firefox exits, your bookmarks should be exported to a web page named bookmarks.html in your currently active Firefox settings folder (profile folder). To change the location and/or file name:
    (4) Select and copy the following preference name:
    '''browser.bookmarks.file'''
    Next, right-click any existing preference and choose New > String
    Paste browser.bookmarks.file as the name and then Firefox will prompt you for the location. You can put anything temporarily, then come back and double-click to edit and paste in the desired full location and file name such as:
    C:\Users\''username''\Desktop\mybookmarks.html
    (Your ''username'' obviously will be different than mine...)

    Take a look at this section; it's pretty clear.

  • How do I create an application with lots and lots of text?

    I was asked to create an application for the iPad. This application contains a lot of static text. With "a lot" I mean Mb's of text which should be represented in a visual attractive way. One can think of this application as a website but than in application form with added features. When building this application there should be a couple of things kept in mind:
    The modularity of the application. How easy will it be to add text or update it.
    How does the markup for the text work. Should everything be put in labels? And what to do with images than? Or is there an alternative?
    My question is: What is the proper way to setup this application? Preferably I don't want to manage the text myself. It will take ages to position everything correct. Especially since I will be working with artistic people...
    Thank you for your help!

    You can always retrieve updated text (html or any other format) from a web service or other channels.  That really is up to you.  If you decide to stick with HTML, there is not too much benefit in paring HTML out of an XML feed.

  • How can I create VI's with inputs which will execute immediately when updated?

    I am using LabView to control stepper motors. I would like to create a VI with a front panel which has 4 directional arrows, 2 per motor. My goal is to be able to run the VI and then press a button to move the motor.
    I have created separate VI for each funcition of the motors - a vi to set the holding current, one to set the moving current, another to move up by a certain amount, and so on. These vi's work and I can move and adjust the motors, but only by running separate VI.
    How can i combine them into one VI and have them execute at the press of a button or change of a property? An example would be to set a new holding current, and have the holding current vi execute immediately and send the command to the motor. Then keep on pressing the directional buttons without having to hit "run" on another vi.
    Thank you very much
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The event structure will allow you to handle user input and execute when controls are used.  A "value change" event is what you're looking for.

  • How do I create a formula in Numbers that will only sum a set number of entries?

    I'm trying to create a spreadsheet that will keep track of my expenses. In Table 1, I have only the totals for each spending category. All the other tables represent each of the spending categories, which contain all the transaction entries. In Table 1, I created a drop down menu with the following five options:
    Last 30 Days
    Last 365 Days
    This Month
    Last Month
    All Time
    The numerical entries in Table 1 correspond exactly to the entries of the respective footer rows. At the moment, the sum in each of the footer rows adds up all the transaction entries, but I want to be able to add up only the entries that satisfy the selected drop-down menu option.
    So how can I create a conditional formula in each of the footer rows that will allow me to do this?

    Hi tsp,
    compare each date entry with today's date
    The TODAY function will automatically update as your time zone crosses midnight.
    Here is a single-cell table to use as a reference (or you could place this somewhere in a larger table)
    =TODAY()
    Calculating days until a task must be done
    C2 (and Fill Down)
    =DATEDIF(Today::A$1,B2,"D")
    But only if your dog can wait 3 days for a walk .

  • How do I create a timesheet on numbers that will give me a weekly total as well as an hourly total?

    I am currently enrolled in an internship, and I need to sumbit an timesheet every week, as well as one at the end of my internship showing the overall hours that I worked. How do I create a Time sheet that will show my start time, end time, total hours for the day, total hours for the week, and total overall hours. If possible can someone please show me step by step how to do this or give me a template I can go off of.

    Hi j,
    Take a look at the Employee Schedule template in the business section of the Template Chooser.
    With a few modifications, it should do what you need.
    Start by renaming the main table to reflect the new focus—you—then replace the names in row 1 with the Sunday dates of the weeks being recorded. Each column will then report your total house for one week (in row 25). You can use SUM() to total these in a separate cell or on a separate tabel.
    One caution:
    The values in the pop-up menus, like those in all cells showing either Date or Time values contain both a Date part and a Time part. Where only the Time part has been entered, the Date part is the Date on which the entry was created. For the pop-ups on this table, that was July 15, 2008, so the full value in cell C7 (John's first "In" time) is July 15, 2008 08:00:00. That full value is what's used in the calculation in C9.
    If you edit the pop-up menu lists, there are two things to be aware of:
    The "blank" item in the menus enters an empty string into its cell, not a true blank. You, as a user, cannot create an 'empty string' item in a popup menu. The closest you can come is an entry with a single space. If you edit the "blank" item, you will also need to edit the formulas in the hours rows to detect a space ( " " ) rather than an empty string ( "" ).
    If you add or change any 'time' items in the pop-ups, the new (or changed) items will contain 'today's' date as part of the value. To avoid unexpected results from calculations, you'll need to edit ALL or the 'time' items if you choose to edit or add one.
    Take a look at the template, then bring back any questions that arise.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How do I create a simple launcher VI that will end when the new VI is started?

    I've just recently upgraded to Labview 7 and I'm writing a complex set of programs that are related, but do not need to be running simultaneously. I would like to write a simple launcher program that will load the appropriate VI and close itself after doing so. I understand how to call a subVI and have its front panel open upon execution, but I'd rather keep the VI's seperate.
    Thanks for any help in advance.
    -Warren

    Try the attached example. Be careful though - if you make changes to this VI, make sure you save it before you run it, as it closes itself, and you will loose any unsaved changes...

  • How do I create an executable with arguments that executes once and terminates

    I'm just starting with LabView, so I'm sure this issue has been address somewhere already.  I just can't locate the answer.
    I am running version 6i (I may be able to get 7 or 8).
    I need to create a command line executable program with parameter input that executes only once and then terminates.
    This is for instrument control (sets the signal generator frequency, level, RF on/off and arms the Trigger).  I have written a simple VI that works from within LabView (programs the instrument when the Run button is pressed).  I have further managed to perform an Application Build to create an executable however, the application continues to run, waiting for the Run button to be pressed.  Also, I need to know how to pass parameters to this executable (freq, level, RF on/off, trigger arm).
    This executable will (eventually) be called repeatedly by a Matlab file.
    Thanks,

  • How do I create an MPG2 with Compressor that is neither 16:9 or 4:3?

    I have a quicktime movie, exported from FCP which is 1280X800. I need to create an MPG2 also at 1280X800.
    How do I do this?
    Compressor only seems to create a 16:9 or 4:3 MPG2 regardless of the original source file.
    Thanks.

    A program Stream.
    It's for a BrightSign video player (HD210) http://www.brightsign.biz/products/hd210.php
    The Program Stream MPG2s that I create with Compressor work fine with the player but I just can't find a way of changing the dimensions to 1280X800.
    Thanks.

  • How to re-create itunes library with the original itunes library files?

    My harddrive was dying so I brought it in to get it replaced. After the replacement was done, my itunes didn't seem to work properly. All my songs are still in the same folders but the library appeared to be corrupted.  I attempted to reimport the itunes xml file but still no good.
    My question: Is there a way to re-generate a brand new itunes library? All my songs are still intact in \music directory.
    Any help appreciated.

  • How do I create a simple writeable template that will load to any PDF invoice

    Hi there, I am wanting to use a word template (or writeable PDF template) to superimpose (cut and paste) onto a PDF invoice we receive by email. The goal is to allow us to code directly on to the PDF received. I have tried a few options but they all are time consuming.
    Can you please recommend the simplest method to code direct on to the invoice copy (that a manager can then sign off when the email is forwarded to him/her) with the invoice and amendment attached.
    Many thanks

  • Send mail with link that will open in new window.

    hi,

    can any one help?

    You can either send a text/plain e-mail with just the URL, in which case it's up to the mailreader what it does when you click on the link, or you can send a text/html e-mail with URL, and again it's up to the mailreader whether to treat this properly or not.
