Action hard codes custom file name

I recorded an action to crop and save for web. I have done this 1000's of times over the years, but in CS6 it is hardcoding a Custom File Name, and in the wrong format too boot.
I am saving as JPG only and accepting the default name, which should leave me with an action that has no custom name, yet it does, and the custom name is of an HTML file name.
So, when I run my action, it names every single file the same name, and never creates a jpg.
This is a new bug in CS6. It wasn't here before.
I can't figure out how to get around it????

Figured out a way to work around this, but it is irritating. Instead of my action doing this:
Flatten
Crop (user interaction)
Save For Web
Close (without saving)
I have to do this:
Flatten
Save as JPG (in same directory where I want the Web file to go)
Crop (user interaction)
Save For Web (Over top last saved file)
Close (without saving)
For some reason, when I use the save as JPG, it doesn't custom code the file name and when I save for web in the same place it also doesn't custom code the file name.
I never had to do this before in all the years of using this type of action, and I use it ALOT!
I have found that it sometimes does not hardcode the file name, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason.

  • Custom File Name Format in B2B Console

    Hi,
    Please let me know if we can have a customized File Name Format in the B2B Console for the X12 EDI/XML Files.
    I have read the Oracle doc and only the following formats are mentioned:
    %FROM_PARTY%
    %TO_PARTY%
    %DOCTYPE_NAME%
    %DOCTYPE_REVISION%
    %MSG_ID%
    %TIMESTAMP%
    Is there a way to have a PO# (From the Trading Partner Payload) in the filename format?
    You help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    no. It has the format which helps B2B in identifying the agreement

  • Custom File Name-Original File Number doesn't work. Why?

    I want to export and rename some files with the "Custom File Name-Original File Number" option. Yet this doesn't seem to work, and I wondered what I might be doing wrong. The filename will only rename as the custom text.
    The sample file name shown underneath has a dash after the custom text bit, but then the extension only eg Newname-.tif
    I am now using LR 4.2 but I seem to remember doing this renaming OK with an earlier version (though I can't remember which). This suggest that either there is a problem with this specific version or that I have something set differently to the way I had it initially. I am hoping the latter is the case. Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be welcome!

    I am sorry to report that i don't know how to create a screenshot. However, what I am getting, exact;ly is this:
    From Library grid view: F2 or Library>Rename Photo
    Then little screen appears with heading Rename Photo:
    File Naming> set to Custom Name - Original File Number
    Custom Text> NewFilenameHere
    Example: NewFilenameHere-.tif
    Clicking on OK changes the filename to just the custom text without the original file number. Original File name shows in metadata eg DSC01129-Edit.tif
    The only way i seem to be able to get the original file number with the custom text is to include it manually as part of the custom text.

  • [5D Mark III] Why begins my custom file name with an underscore

    Hi everybody,
    I am confused. I have set up a custom file name (Menu Screen: "Set Up 1" -> "User Setting 2") with 3 individual letters and the used image size. I set it up as "RAW" so the output should be like "RAWL0001.cr2" but the filenames are always using underscores instead of the first custom letter:  "_AWL0001.cr2".
    I have also tried the "User Setting 1" which has 4 individual letters and no indication for the image size within the file name.
    Same here.
    What baffles me most, is that the manual states that it is not allowed to use an underscore on the first position.
    Anybody an idea?

    Look up "Setting the Colorspace" in your manual.

  • Save custom file name using MS Office Report Express VI

    When my program creates a report, I want to save it as a serial number defined in the report.  I want to use the MS Office Report Express VI to do this but unfortunately it only allows you to save the file name as a time/date and/or incremental number.

    Hi jliu317,
    While waiting for you to notify the moderator to move your thread, here is my solution. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
    In MS Office Report, there is a block diagram input called Path to Save Report. So this is where you can save your report in Words (.doc) or Excel (.xls) with customized filename such as serial number, as shown below.

  • Custom file name when saving

    You can pass in the file name that you want to save the data to.  Why not build up your own file path?  The Build Path primitive will be helpful here.

  • Custom File name for AS2 FA

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a specific requirement, wherein we are expected to be able to pass a unique file name to all the FA, sent over AS2.
    The FAs currently are being handled in B2B.
    I also understand that this can be done from the middleware layer ( How to setup filename in AS2 protocol ).
    Is it also possible that the same can be done from the B2B itself, probably by using a Callout, so we are able to send it directly from B2B? Please advise.
    Thanks in anticipation of a quick response.
    Regards,
    Sambhav.

    Hi Sambhav,
    It will be easier and performance oriented if you do it at middleware. It's my personal opinion that callouts should be used as a last option.

  • Output each page with a custom file name

    We have 150 photos to place in an Indesign file with Data Merge. Each page has: the photo, the name and surname.
    Is it possible the export these pages as separate files but named with the file name of the photo?
    gert

    Sure it's possible. Try this -- don't forget to adjsut the export path and PDF preset name.
    exportPath = "c:/temp";  // Adjust to fit!
    exportPreset = "My Favourite Preset"; // Adjust to fit!
    for (p=0; p < app.activeDocument.pages.length; p++)
      processPage(app.activeDocument.pages[p]);
    function processPage (a_page)
      var i, link;
      for (i=0; i<a_page.allGraphics.length; i++)
        if (a_page.allGraphics[i].itemLink.isValid)
          linkname = File(a_page.allGraphics[i].itemLink.filePath);

  • Custom File name using File Adapter

    Hello All,
    Is it possible to name the file based on a particular XML tag? may be use an xpath expression? My requirement is to create a file name something like PO_<PO-NUM>.xml rather than using any sequence or time stamp.
    Thanks.

    Should i change anything in the file adapter's .jca file? possibly this property?

    Progress Notable!
    But before I outline the details, I wish to apologise to APPLE for laying the blame at their doorstep for loosing or misplacing those PDFs I have on the iPad 1, when I set up my iPad Air , by restoring from the backup of iPad 1, thus copying all data from the old to the new.
    NOT REALLY THEIR FAULT AT ALL
    Because a lot of the many PDFs had the same name, ie PDF.pdf, probably my fault more than anybody else's, so I can't blame APPLE for that. Just goes to show one should be a little more precise in creating these portable documents.
    No wonder the poor program " lost its' marbles" when doing the updating and conversion/transfer.
    However, I was able to recover most of them by personal email, and extracting and RENAMING the PDFs as I located them in their new home.
    Those PDFs that we're locked an thus not email-able , I will deal with by
    Viewing
    Photoeing (if that's how you spell it).
    And re-building the PDF from the photos, in unlocked format, after transferring these files either by Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, from the old to the new iPad.
    So all is not lost, and I am thankful that my cautious approach to this matter in the first place, gave me the ability for this successful recovery.
    That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
    I hope this little story of my saga/experience may prove helpful to others yet to cross the chasm of updating.
    Regards to all, including APPLE.
    NICE STUFF YOU MAKE.

  • Run Into Problem When Trying Not To Hard Code the Host Name

    My code (using the JavaMail API) works fine when the SMTP host name is hard coded in the program:
           props.put( "mail.smtp.host", "TheHostName" );Then, I tried to put the host name in a properties file (smtpServer.properties). The properties file is in the $TOMCATHOME\webapps\AppName\WEB-INF\classes\resources directory. And the properties file has this one single line:
    smtpServer = TheHostName     //Note: The host name has only alpha characters, dots, and dashesIn my program, I did:
       private final String PROPFILE = "resources/smtpServer.properties";
       private Properties oProp = null;
       public SendBatchMails()  // this is the constructor in my class
          try

    I would agree with Reply 1. From the stack trace it is apparent that it comes from Struts, where it is failing to set some kind of property in a bean. However the code that you posted doesn't seem to have anything to do with that. Check your Struts configuration.
