Need help with batch processing picture packages

Hi, I am having trouble batch processing picture packages is CS2. (Windows).
I have hundreds of images that need to be processed into picture packages and would love to find a speedier way to do this.
I know how to create an action. I know how to batch process from this action. I also know how to create picture packages, but I cannot get the final result I am after - please read on....
I have seperated all the images into their seperate folders for each style of picture package required.
I can create an action for the picture package required and then do a batch process on the particular folder, but this leaves all the picture packages open on the desktop - as when you chose the close and save in the batch process - this only closes and saves the original image - the picture package has been created as a new document and is on the desktop still open - named Picture Package 1, Picture Package 2 - etc etc.
I hope I am making some kind of sense here... (??!!)
What I would like to happen is that the picture package will be saved over the original file (or to a new folder) with the original file name of the original image or maybe even with an adjustment to file name (e.g - orignal file name sc1234.jpeg - new file name sc1234packA.jpeg)
So is this possible to do?? I'm thinking there must be a way.... i'm sure there are many group photographers out there who come across this everyday??
Otherwise I have to save each picture package manually to original file name (via searching though files to match the original image to the picture package....) Very time consuming.
Thanks for your help (in anticipation)...
Jodie

hmm - thanks for that - sounds like I will have to try and find some info and assistance regarding the scripting - it may be something I need to look into at a later time in the future....
At the moment though I will have to plod along with this method I guess!
Thanks for your assistance...

Help with batch processing

Hi, I am having trouble with batch processing. I want to apply adaptive noise reduction (ANR) to several files from the same source tapes. So, following the help instructions, I create a script from one file. When I try to apply it to the other files, instead of applying ANR to them, it simply saves them as is. The steps I perform are as follows:
I select the entire wave (I have also tried it without first selecting)
I open the scripts box in the file menu
I click on open/new script collection and create a new script
I title the new script
I click 'record'
I close the scripts box
I run ANR on the file
I go back to the scripts box and click 'stop current script'
I click add to collection
I close the scripts box
I open the batch processing box
I select the files, then the script, then I click to start processing
When I try to apply this to script to other files, it saves them but doesn't apply ANR.
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? Also, in the scripts box, there are three options for the type of script that I can create. One is highlighted: 'Scripts start from scratch.' Is that the correct one to use? If not, how do I select one of the others? I click on them but nothing happens. Finally, when creating a script, do I save the file before or after clicking 'stop record'? I have tried it both ways but don't know which is correct (neither seems to make a difference).
Just to be as thorough as possible, below is the text of one of my scripts, in case that contains any clues. Thanks so much for any and all help!!

This is what my script looks like. Although I was worried about the strange characters in the script, it does work.
Make sure that the script you use is suitable for the sample rate and bit depth of the file. E.g. if you have 44100/32-bit files, then don't use a script that was recorded on a file with e.g. 48000/16-bit. If required, resample or make different scripts for different rates/depths.

Need help with "batch saving workflow" quicktime / automator

Hi, my goal:
I have a lot of folders with (windows) DV-avi files I need to change container to apple mov.
The best way - I found out - to just change the container from avi to mov - without touching the video and audio stream or metadata - is:
open the file in quicktime pro 7
save as self contained movie (same filename, same location).
wait til finished.
open next file...
As far as I understand, the script should open and handle many files automatic, file by file - always waiting til process is finished, before starting with next file.
A probably similar thing I found is a script for batch encode..... but I need batch save , because I don't want to "touch" the source media
on run {inputFiles}
if inputFiles is equal to {} then
    set inputFiles to (choose file with prompt "Select the file(s) to convert:" with multiple selections allowed without invisibles)
end if
open inputFiles
end run
on open droppedItems
tell application "Finder" to set inputFolder to (container of first item of droppedItems) as Unicode text
set outputFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Select output folder:" default location (inputFolder as alias)) as Unicode text
set exportPreset to (choose from list {"Movie", "iPhone", "iPod", "HD 480p", "HD 720p"} with prompt "Choose QuickTime Export Preset:") as Unicode text
if exportPreset is equal to "false" then
    return
end if
repeat with currentItem in droppedItems
    repeat until getProcessPercentCPU("CoreMediaAuthoringSessionHelper") is equal to ""
      delay 30
    end repeat
    tell application "Finder" to set fileName to name of currentItem as Unicode text
    convertFile(currentItem, outputFolder & fileName & ".mov", exportPreset)
    delay 30
end repeat
end open
on convertFile(inputFile, outputFile, exportPreset)
tell application "QuickTime Player"
    set thisMovie to open inputFile
    export thisMovie in (outputFile) using settings preset exportPreset
    close thisMovie
end tell
end convertFile
on getProcessPercentCPU(processName)
do shell script "/bin/ps -xco %cpu,command | /usr/bin/awk '/" & processName & "$/ {print $1}'"
end getProcessPercentCPU
As I can’t get it to work myself, I ask for help…….
Appreciate your answer
all the best from austria

You don't need to go through the double export process. You can either place the edited and rendered 720p sequence in the 352x288 sequence and then export, or you can scale the image down on export in the QuickTime Conversion export module, or in Compressor. Any QuickTime can read uncompressed video.

Need help with batch

Hi forum,
I'm using batch with CS5 to save JPG files in a new folder from Illustrator files located in another folder. I recorded an action while using save for web and devices to save a JPG file with the required options. With any options I tried in the batch window I can't get a smooth batch operation. With each file processed Illustrator displays the dialog "do you want to save this file" and I have to choose yes or no in order for the batch to continue. My workaround is to put a heavy mug on the Enter key of my keyboard and this will choose OK when the Save As dialogs appear for each file but I can't use other programs during the batch and when completed the destination folder is full of Illustrator files, 2 copies of the original Illustrator files for each JPG saved. This makes the batch command very slow and a big pain.
Has anyone successfully completed a batch command with SC5 on Windows to save JPG from .AI files without these problems?

There is a thread in this forum explaining with an image the correct settings but my problem is with point one "make sure that this section is grayed out". I don't know how to make it grayed out. The batch dialog opens with a folder already selected from my previous batch settings and the section is not grayed out. I can do it only if I reset the Illustrator preferences but if I don't click the Choose button in this section when I click OK to start the batch, a message is displayed saying I must click on it and choose a folder and I can't proceed.

Need help with Post Process Event

Hi all:
I need to implement user login generation thru a post process event. I read lots of posts about this and followed the steps described. So this is what I did:
- Created a java class that implements PostProcessHandler and implemented the execute method. I added in both execute methods (EventResult and BulkEventResult) a statement to log message to a tmp file.
- Created the plugin.xml
- create a zip file with class and plugin.xml.
- Put zip file in plugins directory.
- Registered the plugin.
- Created the EventHandler.xml file to define the postprocess event on User Entity CREATE operation.
- Imported the Event metadata.
Everything went well. Until I ran a reconciliation, and nothing is being called.
Am I missing any steps?? I read that people successfully implemented this. Is there something I should do for lib folder or classpath...
I cannot figure this out..
Thank you

I think this is what I am missing.
I created my EventHandlers.xml in a temp folder with a space name:
The temp folder: /tmp
and under tmp folder I have the following:
/metadata/user/custom/CustomPostProcessEvent/EventHandlers.xml
I am going to change the EventHandlers.xml location:
keep /tmp directory but
Remove the metadata tree
and create /db/EventHandlers.xml
I will let you know...
Thanks again for your feedback. It is very appreciated..

Migrating from Red Brick database to Oracle 11g -Need help with the process

Hi,
I am on this new project were we are migrating from IBM Red Brick Data Warehouse to Oracle 11g. We have a very tight time line. I was hoping if any of you have done this migration before and are willing to share their experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to get a brief idea about how to go about the process.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
that is a matter of supply and demand, and as the demand to migrate Red Brick to Oracle RDBMS is very low, Oracle never included Red Brick into the migration tools.
If you search in the forums for Red Brick, you will not find much more than this one from the year 2006:
Re: Migration from rebrick 6.0.3 to Oracle 9i
Options:
In general we have the following options:
1. Oracle Migration Workbench
2. SQL Developer Migration Workbench
3. Generic Connectivity
4. SQL*Loader
Regarding your dedicated foreign database, option 1 and 2 fail as those tools
do not work against Red Brick DB.
Generic Connectivity would be an option if you have an ODBC driver to this database.
In this dedicated case, you can then set up generic connectivity (= a database
link to the foreign database using odbc).
The Oracle database we support generic connectivity can reside on Windows,
Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and Linux.
If the Oracle database is on any other platform, you might migrate to a
database on this platform, then export the migrated DB and then load it into
the real target db.
Generic Connectivity will allow you to perform a SQL*Plus copy of tables; this
means you can create tables like they are defined in your source and transfer
the data to the Oracle db; but no procedures, triggers or anything coded can be
transferred.
Last option (4) is that you generate "flat files". This means ASCII-SPOOL
Files and then import them using SQL*Loader. As far as I know there is no
existing SQL*Loader sample file for Red Brick databases exports and you need to
write them on your own.
I recommend to read also the following note in My Oracle Support:
Note 233876.1: Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases
Best regards
Wolfgang

Need help with text() processing in XSL

Hello,
I have an xml that contains such text in my xml:
before<a>inside</a>after
and an xsl that transforms it to HTML (a cut for xsl):
<xsl:template match="a">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">

</xsl:template>
The result is: inside before after

It seems it happens 'cause of this: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#conflict
but I cannot find a way to solve this problem :(
I had tried to use priority in xsl:template, but it didn't help :(
Thanks a lot.

DrClap
here are xml and xsl.
That's not a real xml and xsl, but they might describe the idea and problem. I hope I miss nothing.
P.S. I cannot control xml, that's why I cannot use: <xsl:text> in xml.

Need help with construction process. . .

Hi All
I put a post on here about 2 months ago regarding exporting
a PSD, and using the HTML that Photoshop generated. All the kind
people on here quickly pointed me into the direction of learning
coding rather than letting something produce it for me. So i did. .
But i have a new problem - there are lots of tutorials out
there for how to code HTML and CSS, but none that show you the
correct process for producing sites.
The current site i am on has a background that i made in PS
and just exported as a image. It has a content section (blank black
box) and the background (grunge grey stuff) all in one image. Now
when i take this into DW, i add it as the background for the body
of the site. I center it, and no-repeat the image. I test it and
all is good.
SO i start to add my navigation, which is just text links,
not buttons. I add it on top of the area where i want it to be -
BUT - when i resize the browser, the background stays centered but
the links stay where they are.
What i want is for the links to move with the changing size
of the browser - HOW?
Also, is this the correct 'working ethic' for a site? To have
the content areas as part of the background and just position parts
on top of the site so that they look like they are in the correct
areas?
I guess basically, i have a background image that is centered
with no repeat. I want the site to be centered, AS WELL as the
links. I would like them to all stay in relation to each other when
a browser changes size. Where am i going wrong? In the HTML or CSS?
Sorry if i have explained it in a bad way, i'm just trying so
hard to learn the right way of doing things.
Many Thanks In Advance
JP

Need help with BW Process chain issue

Hi Gurus,
I had made a copy of the existing process chain so that I can work on the changes. Its a metachain and I tried to copy a sub chain.
But at a later point of time, I have realized that the process chain had got into a nested loop in the meta chain, for the sub chain, I had copied. How do I rectify it?
Kindly suggest

hi,
use the bottom up approach.
Looking at the attached file it has many PCs.
Just note down all list of all PC and then do the copy of individual PCs, later you can copy the complete meta chain.
If you want give one more chance and try to copy meta chain again.
Thank-You.

VB

Hi, Yhai -
It is normal for there to be a few loose wires (meaning wires with unconnected connectors) in a QS model.
G4s usually come pre-equipped to accept a second internal drive, including having unused connectors (on the data cable and power bus) available in the vicinity of where the second drive would mount.
There may be even more connectors available, for example, if the previous owner added a PCI card so he/she could have a couple of additional internal drives, then removed those drives but left the card and its cable(s) in the machine.

Need help with old grainy picture

I have a picture dated
back to 1935 or so that is very grainy.
I can't seem to edit it in my Photoshop Elements 8
program. Any suggestions?

You might want to upload your picture to this forum so we can take a look.
Also check out forum topic http://forums.adobe.com/message/2368771 which addresses noise reduction software; in particular I gave some examples in message#5.
