Actions recorder not recording

Hi, I open hundreds of photos a day in photoshop (CS-3) in order to extract embedded caption information using the commands: file-file info-copy, paste (to a Word document or InDesign). I tried the action recorder but it won't record those steps. It would be nice to have an action command that does this. A lot of our photos end up in Flickr and I notice that Flickr uses a caption extraction program b/c when we post photos there, it automatically strips out the caption info and posts it in a window below the photo. Any help much appreciated!

I don't know of a way to copy text into the clipboard, only image data. But
somebody else may have figured something out (via textItem.contents, perhaps).

How to request - Updating an embedded image in a PDF using Actions but not all actions are recorded

i am trying to create an Action in CS3 but some of my actions are not been recorded.
What i want to do is run the Batch option on a folder with a 1,000 PDFs in it. The PDFs
(which were created in Illustrator CS3) consist of a single page with a single embedded
image at the foot of the page. I am trying to update that embedded image.
The Actions i am trying to record are...
1) Select the single image in the Links palette.
2) Choose the "Relink.." option in the drop down menu of the Links palette.
3) Navigate to the new image and select "Place".
4) Save and close document.
But the first two actions are not been recorded.
How do i get around this problem ?
Note: From trying this manually the new image seems to take on the horizontal and
vertical scaling of the previous image which is what i want. But if i am going to have to
do a script then that is a factor that may have to be incorporated into the script.
Any help appreciated.

Give this a trial… It does a save as which is much safer than overwriting… At least you still have your originals should I get something wrong…? I did test but only with 3 files…
#target illustrator
function replaceImage() {
          var i, doc, fileList, inFolder, outFolder, opts, pic, rep, rip, saveFile, uIL;
          inFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Please choose your Folder of AI PDFs…' );
          outFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Please choose a Folder to save AI PDFs in…' );
          pic = File.openDialog( 'Please choose your replacement Image…' );
          if ( inFolder != null && outFolder != null && pic != null ) {
                    fileList = inFolder.getFiles( /\.pdf$/i );
                    if ( fileList.length > 0 ) {
                              uIL = app.userInteractionLevel;
                              app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
                              for ( i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++ ) {
                                        doc = app.open( fileList[i] );
                                        rip = doc.rasterItems[0].position;
                                        rep = doc.placedItems.add();
                                        rep.file = pic;
                                        rep.move( doc.rasterItems[0], ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE )
                                        rep.position = rip;
                                        rep.resize( 31.414, 31.414, true, true, true, true, 100, Transformation.TOPLEFT );
                                        doc.rasterItems[0].remove();
                                        rep.embed();
                                        opts = new PDFSaveOptions();
                                        opts.pDFPreset = '[Illustrator Default]';

Action recordable CS SDK panel

Hello,
I'm trying to set up a demo project where a CS SDK panel triggered script leaves a trace in the Actions palette (i.e. is recordable).
I've been successfully building a regular, recordable script appearing in the Filter's menu following this pattern. My goal is to implement a complex UI in Flex, which passes to the script the needed parameters - one history status, action recordable.
Embedding a swf in the ScriptUI isn't viable, since the supported Flex SDK version is too old to my taste ;-)
So far I've:
1. put a test_PS.jsx file, containing the requested <javascriptresource> header in /Presets/Scripts/ - plus a test routine (simple blurring) waiting for a param and the needed controls to discriminate whether or not save the param into an ActionDescriptor.
2. made the extension to read that file and call the main() routine (via HostObject.eval()) passing the param. The blurring is executed, leaving a single step trace in the History palette. But...
Even if I make the Extension's call to main (passing the params) call in turn the very same script with:
var s2t = function (s) {return app.stringIDToTypeID (s)}
var d = new ActionDescriptor();
d.putString(s2t("message"), "Recordable Test Panel Action Settings");
d.putDouble(s2t("radius"), 10);
executeAction (s2t("UUID_string_TestPanel"), d, DialogModes.NO)
I can't by no means make it recordable - unless I manually select it in the Filter's menu (this way, it leaves a trace in the Action palette).
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Davide

Yes, already found solution myself.
Added clode property to Flex app window, and called event removing.
controller.detach();
Thanks for help Harbs.

CS6 stamp tool doesn't work with action / record ( tool record is enabled ) other tools works

CS6 stamp tool doesn't work with action / record ( tool record is enabled ) other tools works

At one time tool recording was not possible and if you install Adobe Scriptlistener Plug-in Adobe will disable tool recording its never an option.
I use and record actions all the time and was looking forward to tool recording when Adobe announced it. However I found what they delivered was of very limited value because of the restrictions. I do not care that Adobe disables tool recording on my machine.
The amount of data that gets reordered seems also vary between machines. I found that Action recorded on fast machine are not usable on slow machine. Fast machine recorder too much data.
Documents you use such action on must also have the same size and resolution as the document you recorded the action on. Quite a restriction.
You problem may also be foxed in CC 2014 sett here Photoshop CS6 - Recording the clone tool in an action gives incorrect results on replay.

How do you do action recording in Photoshop Elements like you can in regular photoshop?

How do you do action recording in Photoshop Elements like you can in regular photoshop?
One of my clients is a club promoter and they would like to put their logo on the bottom left of their photos from their events. Usually I can do this by opening the logo (which has like 50% opacity), copying the logo, recording an action set, pasting the logo i copied to memory into the photo, resize the photo and export and close the photo, save the action set and then just batch- automate and choose all currently opened images to run the action on.
*I mentioned the 50% opacity because I want to put the logo on the photos but not totally hide what's underneath the logo.
How do I do the same with photoshop elements?
-Line

Just another option that may work for you there are a number of relatively cheap and a couple of freeware programs that are listed here, there are many others I am sure.

I have not used any of these so I can not recommend of course but most have trial versions.

MTM - Lab center - Action recording - Manaul Testing

Hi,
I have created some test runs via MTM using manual testing I want to automate it by using coded UI project.
1. How do I link my test results recording to my project, which work item should I look for? it seems the test run is not associated with any work item, any ideas?
2. I made my recording under a local machine environment, Is it possible to associate a new standard lab environment to run those automated tests. My main issues is how I link between my test run recordings to the new standard lab, Is it possible. Do I need
to to deploy a build deploy test.
Thanks in Advanced.

Hi everybody.
I am getting crazy with Lab center. I cant record an exploration test if i try to make it on Lab center's remote machine. I am using standard
lab environment.
I have follow msdn help. And if i make it on local machine it works fine.
Test agent is configured correctly like "Interactive process".
On lab center, my Lab status is "Ready".
Connecting with lab center to target machine, Test Agent status is "Online" before run exploration test.
While exploration test is running, Test Agent status is "Running Tests".
But when I make click on "Create Test case" there isn't any information of desktop click events from target machine.
By other hand, when i finish there are attachments file with info from target machine. As you can see on the flowing pick: (sorry i cant upload the pick until Microsoft verify my account)
And this make me come here to answers: Is possible make an exploration test with action recording on lab center machine (using hyper-v)?

Action recording software?

Can someone tell me if there are action recording software?
I'm doing repetitive tasks over and over again in FCPX
I just had a thought: I could automate using an action recording tool
I know I could do in Windows, there are a few things That I've tried in the past that could be used
I've looked at Automator and that doesnt quite fit the bill - or actually, maybe I havent got my head round how to use it!
Are there any 3rd party tools that will record what windows you are using and record the phyisical location of mouse clicks for example?
Thanks
Omar

Or Quicktime, which you probably have.

Command link / button action is not taking place if i use it in iterator.

Hi,
I am new to ADF, i am facing 1 issue while implementing ADF mobile browser application.
Issue: command link / button action is not taking place if i use it in iterator. its just refreshing the page it self and displaying as no records.
Scenario is i am populating the search results in results page from search page using iterator, i want to get the complete details in different page (results page -> details page) .
I have tried in different ways.like
case1:
<tr:panelGroupLayout id="pgl2" layout="vertical" styleClass="af_m_panelBase">
<tr:panelHeader text="#{classviewBundle.SEARCH_RESULTS}" id="ph1"/>
<tr:iterator id="i1" value="#{bindings.SubjectVO1.collectionModel}" var="subject"
varStatus="subIndx" rows="100">
<tr:panelBox text="#{subject.Subject} #{subject.CatalogNbr} - #{subject.CourseTitleLong}"
styleClass="af_m_listingPrimaryDetails" id="pb1">
<f:facet name="toolbar"/>
<tr:table var="ssrClass" rowBandingInterval="1" id="t1" value="#{subject.children}"
varStatus="clsIndx" rowSelection="none"
binding="#{SessionBean.subjectTable}" verticalGridVisible="true"
emptyText="No Records" width="100%">
<tr:column id="c9" sortable="false" styleClass="width:100%">
<*tr:commandLink text="Section: #{ssrClass.ClassSection}-#{ssrClass.SsrComponentLovDescr} (#{ssrClass.ClassNbr})"*
id="commandLink2" styleClass="af_m_listingLink"
*action="#{pageFlowScope.BackingBean.searchaction}"></tr:commandLink>*
//remaining code
in this case commandlink action is not able to invoke serachaction() method
case 2:
<tr:commandLink text="Section: #{ssrClass.ClassSection}-#{ssrClass.SsrComponentLovDescr} (#{ssrClass.ClassNbr})"
id="commandLink2" styleClass="af_m_listingLink"
action="classdetails}"></tr:commandLink>
in this case its not able to navigate to classdetails page.
I gave correct navigation cases and rules in taskflow,but its working fine when the command link is out of iterator only.
i tried with actionlistener too.. but no use.. please help me out of this problem .
*Update to issue:*
The actual issue is when i use command link/button in an table/iterator whose parent tag is another iterator then the action is not taking place.
the structer of my code is
< iterator1>
#command link action1
< iterator2>
#command link action2
</ iterator2>
< /iterator1>
#command link action1 is working but "#command link action2" is not...
Thanks
Shyam

Hi,
To solve my problem I used a af:foreach instead.
<af:forEach items="#{viewScope.DataBySubjectServiceBean.toArray}" var="text">
<af:commandLink text="#{text.IndTextEn}" action="indicator-selected" id="cl1">
<af:setActionListener from="#{text.IndCode}" to="#{pageFlowScope.IndicatorCodeParam}" />
</af:commandLink>
</af:forEach>
By the way you need to convert the iterator to an Array using a ManagedBean.
public Object[] toArray() {
CollectionModel cm = (CollectionModel) getEL("#{bindings.TView1.collectionModel}");
indicators = new Object[cm.getRowCount()];
for(int i=0;i<cm.getRowCount();i++){
indicators[i] = cm.getRowData(i);
return indicators;
public static Object getEL(String expr) {
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
return fc.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(fc,expr,Object.class);
Hope that helps-

Why the "Actions" does not save the Overprint Black

Hi!
Ai CC 17.0.0
Why the "Actions" does not save the Overprint Black?
I can not create an action that will automate this time a very common activity?
Why?
Best Regards!

I was just able to. I am in Illustrator 6 on a Mac OS 10.6. I started a new action and went through the menu just like your screen shot, chose my options and clicked ok, then stopped recording the action.
I found to use the action I had to have something selected.
I see that you are in Illustrator CC, perhaps there is a difference there. But for the record, on my system, it worked.

Admission Audit Run (Action is not possible; function not released yet)

Hi All,
I have created a Requirement Profile Template for admission audit and attached it with a program of study.
But when I am trying to run the admission audit using Transaction PIQAUD_MP_CS, its giving a message that...
Action is not possible; function not released yet....
Please tell me what does this message indicate, please let me know if u need more information regarding it.
Thanks in Advance
Sudhir Gupta

Dear Michael,
Thanks for such a beautiful and elaborative answer. Please read my comments on the points you discussed :
Create an admissions record: at this time a requirement profile is automatically generated for the program of study, as long as your program has been defined as 'Use Assessments'.
Yes its generating a requirement profile automatically as soon as admission record is created.
In the student file, go to the admissions tab and look for the icon that represents 'Audit Details'. (It looks like the icon for 'syntax check' in ABAP). Click on that.
On Clicking 'Audit Details' icon it leads to another screen which contains all information like Admission application data but requirements section is blank.
Now you are taken to a screen where you can see the admissions audit profile for the student. Execute the audit there, and you will see the list of checkboxes and results.
The requirement screen is blank. No error message.
Though i maintained the Requirement Profiles and RPT as per Cookbooks.
I want to download the screen shots of Requirement Profiles and RPT. Please let me know how to upload screen shots in SDN.
Warm Regards

'Save for Web' action does not set transparency for gifs ??!?

I recorded an action that just performs a 'Save for Web' while setting the white background to transparent.
The action does not save/preserve the transparency, in any mode I run it (i.e. Destination None | Save&close | folder).
Is this a known bug ?!? the same exact 'Save for Web' procedure do create a transparent background when performed interactively.
Thanks, ciao

Same issue. Hoping someone responds to this thread soon

ADF VO Row Fetch Range Issue: Action is not called after 10th row

Hi People!
I am working with an Application here in which one page has a table based on a view object. This table has range navigation, and the VO configuration for Tuning is to fetch rows in batches of 1000, all in one fetch. Now, i have a single selection configured in this table, and also a button on the <tableActions> facet which calls a method on the backing bean.
The problem is, for the first 10 rows of this table, the method is called (seen through the debugger), but when we move the selection to the 11th row or further, the page only refreshes but does not call the method.
This is not a problem with the data, because we tried two other approaches:
1) removed the range navigation and shown all the records in the same page: the error persists for the 11th row ahead
2) changed the VO query to return only the 11th row from the previous test using its ID: the action is called, now that the row is the first on the rowset.
Have you experienced similar behavior? Why the Action is not executed when the selected row comes after the tenth row?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Regards
Thiago Souza

Hi Frank, thanks for the reply.
I have assembled a step-by-step based on the HR schema. For this example, i have created an EmployeesVO based on the EMPLOYEES table, and an App Module to provide a data control. From then on:
1) Create a JSF JSP to list the Employees VO
1.1) Bind the JSF Page to a Backing bean
1.2) Create an af:page element on the page
2) Drag the EmployeesVO from the Data Control Palette to the af:page
2.1) Read-Only Table, Selection Enabled
2.2) Do not include table navigation.
3) Double-Click the automatically created submit button on the TableSelectOne section
3.1) Bind it to a method on the Backing Bean
3.2) Add some code to it, in my case i tested:
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Teste"));
4) Run the example and try two approaches:
4.1) select one of the first ten rows and click on the button: The action is fired.
4.2) select the eleventh row and click on the button: The action is not fired.
4.3) select one of the first ten rows again and click on the button: The action is fired.
This example didn't even include range navigation, but if you want to test you will see the result is the same.
Please let me know if you want further info.
Thanks a lot!

Org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet not found in web-application

Dear All,
I am new to ADF environment. I tried to create a simple page to show the records from

When i run my action from Struts Page Flow. It is giving error like
500 Internal Server Error
Servlet error: Error instantiating servlet 'action'. Servlet class org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet not found in web-application EmpMaintanance-ViewController-webapp
anybody can suggest me What i missed?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
you need to register libraries with th OC4J configuration files. However, you can also deploy the Struts library with you application (see OC4J documentation which is accessible on OTN via Oracle As documentation), in which case they are available from the application classpath
