Problems with File Names, Placing, and Tracing Options in Actions

I am trying to make an action that would place .psd files that are in a folder into Illustrator, trace using a custom option, (possibly expand),scale, and save. I would like the title to be the same as the psd file but ending in .ai instead of .psd.
First problem is how to to name the .ai file.
How can I make the action base the name of initial and final .ai file upon each individual psd file? In other words, testname.psd would become testname.ai
Second problem is that as I make the action I seem to have to choose a file not a folder in order to proceed. This means that the action will only work for that .psd file.
How can I choose a folder to place instead of simply a file?
Third problem is that I have a custom preset tracing option that I use. Although I recorded this option as I made the action, in each batching cycle the dialog box for tracing opens and I must manually choose and confirm my tracing option.
How do I record a tracing option that will automatically activate as part of an action?
Please post your response here. If you want to E-mail me, my new address is [email protected]
Thanks in advance for your help.

How do I record a tracing option that will automatically activate as part of an action?
You don't. You need to save it as a LiveTrace settings preset. Only named presets can be properly referenced in actions and then you would bypass the panel. As for the rest - file actions should be overridden with the respective settings on the batch panel, where you simply pick the folders for in and out, not specific files. You don't place them, you simply open them. By placing them, you merely add an unnecessary step that has no practical relevance whatsoever in this case.

  • Saving as PDF - problem with file name

    Hello everybody,
    I have a little problem. I'm making a lot of similar document with InDesign so everytime I copy/paste the latest and then rename it from windows. But when I try to save (with a custom preset) the document as PDF, everytime on default InDesign gave the name of the original document, so I have to write the right name everytime. How can I change this? I want to have on default the file name I'm working on, not the original one.
    EXAMPLE
    I copy and paste "average.indd" and then I rename it as "joe.indd". I make some changes inside JOE, save it and then try to export as PDF. When the saving window appear, the program suggest "average.pdf" as name of the PDF I'm creating.
    Thanks for your support and excuse me if my english is not that good (not my language).
    Have a nice day!
    Dario

    Ah well, it is generally accepted that the most recent PDF-export file name "sticks" and when that's the case, there isn't anything you can do about it except type in the new name you want. However, I just tried it a second time (the first time before my first post), and here, I got it to work the way you want by doing what I originally advised...
    Start new file.
    Save As average.indd
    Export > PDF...file name defaults to average.pdf
    Back in InDesign, Save As joe.indd
    Export > PDF...file name defaults to joe.pdf
    What exactly did you try, and where did the result differ from what I saw?

  • Problem with file name r�servation.txt

    I am facing a strange problem. I have a file named r�servation.txt. File.isFile() method returns true for this file on Windows, but on linux it returns false. I am using SUSE Linux 10 version. As you can see, there is an extended character (�) in the file name which causes the issue.
    Could anyone please help resolving the problem?

    Rename the file? IMHO, filenames with special characters and white spaces and all that are nothing but a nuisance, but that's just my opinion...

  • Problem with File content conversion and parameters

    Hi experts,
       What is the use of file content conversion that is available in file adapter? For what cases we can use it?
      What do the different content conversion parameters mean?
    Kindly help
    Thanks
    Gopal

    Hi,
    We use the file content convertion to conver the flat file that is text file into XML,
    File adapter cant understand the format the file is,so we have to declare the content convertion parameters.
    Check some links which will tell how the convertion is done.

  • New problem with file name while exporting files

    Hi all. Whenever I export files from Crystal, it converts the filename from mixed case to lowercase, i.e. Vendors.pdf or Vendors.csv becomes vendors.pdf or vendors.csv. The destination folder has other files of mixed case, it's not a setting on that side. Since this file is data for an upload, it's a problem. Can't find a setting in Crystal. Is there a fix somewhere?
    Thanks
    Robin

    Hi Robin,
    When exporting this is by design, most OS's won't allow the same name so it's mostly not an issue. You could write a small application that exports for you then you can rename it to anything you want.
    Thank you

  • Problems with file location variables and Oracle 9i

    I'm new to Oracle and I'm seeing if I can get Oracle 9i running and do anything useful for me on a Solaris 9 platform.
    The installation of Oracle went OK except step three, creating a starter database. The installation wanted to put it on the same file system as {ORACLE_HOME} although I told the installation that I wanted {ORACLE_BASE} on another file system. So of course there wasn't enough room on the file system to make the starter database.
    I thought I'd be able to correct this after installation. I tried to make a General Purpose Database with Database Configuration Assistant but DBCA in step 5 of 7, File Location Variables still shows {ORACLE_BASE} to be the same as {ORACLE_HOME}, and no way to change that variable on this screen. Don't I want to change { ORACLE_BASE} to a file system that has enough space to make the data base? How do I change this variable? When logged in as the oracle user, I don't see it listed by setenv.
    When I ignored this setting and tried to finish DBCA, it hung.

    I looked for the {ORACLE*} environmental variables in the profile and login files of my oracle user, but didn't find that they were added by my Oracle setup. So I didn't think defining them as environmental variables would persist or overrule the global variables set at dbca run time.
    In the dbca windows, step 5 displays these global variable settings provocatively in a table, as if Oracle wants me to verify and edit them if necessary, but I keep poking at them with right mouse clicks, left mouse clicks, backspace, and delete, but all I can do is turn them blue.
    Currently when I use dbca to try to create a general purpose database, it hangs at 50% done, but not much space is used up on {ORACLE_HOME}. So it doesn't really look like the hang is caused by the disk being full. One of the processes that is hung is jre, so I thought I'd review the Oracle requirements and locations for JRE on my system.

  • Error -43  when try playback on win7 64bits over the network QT that recide MacPro  osx 10.5 however i can play with VLC player, This happend when the QT is inside a Folder with name longer 8 chars other files has no problem with long names just the QT

    Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
    What I did wrong was:
    - not copying the master image to the nbi folder
    - selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
    The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
    With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
    In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
    Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
    http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
    This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

  • Unable to download from AppStore, updates,etc.Messages 'the installer is damaged' to 'there might be a problem with file ownership and permissions.' I am the owner and only user of a new MBP. What could be going on?

    Is anyone having the same type of problems I'm having with Lion. I have a new MacBook Pro, received 7 weeks ago, preinstalled with Leopard 10.6.7. I didn't migrate anything from my old iMac, wanted a clean install from the Apple Store. While there, I asked for the upgrade to Lion 10.7, however their system was down.
    I  installed it myself, wirelessly about a week later, and Apple emailed me a receipt. Now, I've had to call support directly last week when I lost Mail, Address Book, was unable to open Preview or iTunes, among other problems. Seemed fixed after a session that baffled even the store tech.  Now I am unable to download or install the recent Mac updates for Lion, from the App Store, could not install Adobe Reader, etc. Messages range from 'A network error has occured - Check your Internet connection and try again' to 'The Installer is damaged and cannot open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.'  All fail and I'll probably have to call Apple again. I am frustrated beyond words.  Logs 'Install's runner tool is not properly configured as a setuid tool', domain errors, 'attempt to write a readonly database, and on and on. I have barely done a thing on this computer except search online for help with these problems. Safari gives me a 'You are not connected to the internet' too often. Diagnostics disagrees. I do see wi-fi problems in the forum. Disk and permissions were fine at the beginning of the earlier problems, checked first by support tech. I'm not sure if support tech even knew. I was just happy they were fixed. Anyone have these download and/or install problems after a 'clean bill of health' so to speak, only a week ago?

    Let's try the following user tip with that one:

  • Problem with FIle Adapter

    Hi
    We r facing typical problem with file adapter.
    Lets say there are 30 files to be processed  by placing an copy in arichive folder by file adapter  based on pooling 
    parameters.
    All the 30  files are picked up and we can see the copies in archive folder.
    But when we go to RWB and check the audit log,
    there we could see only 25 files , the 5 files are missing.
    no trace found therre about the 5 files.
    This is happening only some times and not to all the files placed in the FTP. Later when the same file is placed back from the Archive folder to the Source folder, the file is being picked and processed succesfully.
    unfortunately this is happening on Production server
    Any pointers which could trouble shoot this issue.
    Regards
    shekar chandra

    Hi,
    Couple of thing which you can try....
    1. Use EOIO QoS and check if you still face the issue.
    Is some program or application writing files to the directory? If yes I would recommend the use of a temporary name to write the files and then rename them.
    Sometimes when an external application connects via FTP and transfers the files...
    The file could be picked up by the adapter poll even before the transfer of data is done.
    Which is why you will find that the file is archived but there is no xml message created for the same in the Integration engine.
    Try increasing the poll interval. This helps sometimes.

    Sidharth
