Applying labels to multiple files

How can I apply a label to multiple files through the visual interface? In other words, I want to select 3 files at once and then select the label option. I know I can click on the add button for the apply label dialogue but this can be very tedious if you are dealing with a large set of files. there has to be a way to do this right?
Thanks in advance . .

Let's see if I can describe this clearly. If I don't, do not hesitate to ask for clarification:
We have a parent folder Main that has production code. When a developer needs to work on a new project, he or she will branch a section of code to development folder and start working on it (if the same code files are there, there is no need to branch). to make sure we have a rollback option (in case things go wrong), the developer should be able to select a group of files and label them as labelproj1 old before he or she starts development. The way we do do development here is we have a rollback versions (we are still using VSS) based on previous pinnings if the project gets rolled back for whatever reason.
Selecting a group of files means we are only concerned with the files we modify. We don't want to select the code at the folder level because we are not modifying those files. We only concern ourselves with the files we modify for audit purposes.
does this clarify what I am looking for or do you need more clarification? Let me know and I wll be happy to clarify.

Applying security to multiple files

I am using Acrobat X and have multiple files that I must apply/change security settings for. Is there a way to do this without having to go into every file and do them one by one? I appreciate the help.

To create a new action, select: Tools > Action Wizard > Create New Action
For the Steps section, select "Protection > Encrypt" from the left panel and then select the Options button and select "Password Security" as the security method. You'll then be able to set the various options you want. Save the action and you can run it on a folder of documents. Be sure to work with copies of your files. More information about working with Actions is in the Acrobat help doc, but post again if you get stuck.

Add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro?

Can I add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro? If so, how? It appears as though it is a removed option.

I've figured this out. (kind of) not using PDF Portfolio; where you could apply watermark to multiple files in Acrobat 9.
I'm answering my own question in case there are others looking to add a watermark to multiple files.
Step 1: Open a single file
Step 2: Tools>Pages>Watermark>Add Watermark
Step 3: In bottom of Watermark Edit Box, Select "Apply to Multiple"
Step 4: Select "Add Files
etc etc.

AppleScript : modify labels for multiple selection of files and folders in Finder ?

As an experienced programmer in Pascal, Excel VBA, ... I am trying to find my way in AppleScript (first steps).
I am trying to build a small script that will run on a keyboard shortcut, and that will toggle the label of selected files and folders (multiple selection ?) in Finder between "purple" and "no label".
Based on a recorded action, I was trying something along the lines of
tell application "Finder"
          Activate
          repeat with oneItem in selection
                         set label index of oneItem to 3
          end repeat
end tell
I am not clear on how to make the script understand that in a multiple selection I want to apply the requested command to each item. In addition, when testing it on one single item, it appears that I can't set the label index property of "selection" ...
Can someone please advise what the correct way is of (a) setting the property of a selected item in the Finder and (b) looping through a multiple selection ?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks alot, Softwater. In fact, I have been playing around with that and found that the "get" statement in your script suggestion is not even necessary. The script I saved as a Finder Service is now :
tell application "Finder"
          repeat with oneItem in selection as list
                         if label index of oneItem = 0 then
                                        set label index of oneItem to 5
                         else
                                        set label index of oneItem to 0
                         end if
          end repeat
end tell
By assigning a shortcut key to this one, I can now toggle labels.
Additional trick I did is to restrict the applicability of the script to only movie-files (I am using this to change the labels of movies / TV shows on my computer which I still want to see versus the ones that I don't want to see anymore). I noticed during testing that the script would also color folders and drives selected in other finder windows than the one I was working in, so now it only works on movie files which is more what I want.
Great tool, the AppleScript Editor and the Automator. Only a little bit a pitty that finding out about object structure and properties is not very straightforward in the AppleScript Editor (comparing to e.g. the VBA in MS Excel, which has an almost perfect help system and built-in reference). I am not a Microsoft fan in general, but when it comes to MS Excel VBA, I have not seen any built-in help system yet that approaches its usefulness ...
I guess I will be "seeing" you again on this forum ... I am getting the taste of scripting again :-D

Labelling multiple files slow

Hi Forum,
my Problem is the following. When i try to label multiple files with a colored label it takes a very long time, for the files to actually change the color. i know this should work instantly, as it did so on all my previous computers, and also does so on my two private macs.
the computer in question is an i5 27" iMac with Lion 10.7.3.
I had recently deleted the contents of my user/Library-folder which might have something to do with it? i've set most prefs to programs back manually and i don't even know if this problem relates to that.
things i have tried: repair permissions, stop dropbox / google drive, re-install 10.7.3 combo-update, reset spotlight. no use. the activity-monitor also shows nothing special, while the finder is taking it's sweet time changing the color labels. it takes roughly 20 seconds per file.
i know this is not a huge problem, but i use labels a whole lot an i really don't want to re-install the whole computer from scratch if it can be helped.
anybody got any suggestions?

Lots of variables involved, but here I'll test one 511.9 MB file compared to 8554 items equaling 492.6MB files using Airport between Mac Mini/1.42Ghz/512MB to AEBS to G5Quad/2.5GHz/10GB and back, using FW400 drives on both ends...
8554 items equaling 492.6MB... 14 min 50 secs (40 secs preparing to copy, started with 12 minutes remaining but half way through it said 22 mins remaining)
one 511.9 MB file... 8 min 18 secs (time remaining steadily decreased)
Copying back the other way...
8554 items equaling 492.6MB... 16 min 16 secs (5 secs preparing to copy, started with 9 minutes remaining but half way through it said 16 mins remaining)
one 511.9 MB file... 9 min 30 secs (time remaining steadily decreased)
You could tell when small files were being read & written by watching the Bytes/sec sent dropping to very small numbers.

Process Multiple Files in PSE 7

I'm running PSE7.
I'd like to take a group of images (jpeg's) and do the following to them:
Run QuickFix on them.
Save them as a new file with the name based on the original name plus some extra information.
Resize the jpeg's to a size suitable for the web. Or possibly a little larger.
It would really be great if:
I could use a 'tag' to select the images I want to process.
The tags on the new images are the same as the originals.
The new files are written into the same folder as the original. Even if multiple folders are needed due to
the tags bringing in images from multiple folders.
The new images would become part of a version set or stack along with the originals.
Well, that's what's I'm interested in doing.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciatted!

The Process Multiple Files command applies settings to a folder of files. If you have a digital camera or a scanner with a document feeder, you can also import and process multiple images. (Your scanner or digital camera may need an acquire plug‑in module that supports actions.)
When processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes to the original files, or save modified versions of the files to a new location (leaving the originals unchanged). If you are saving the processed files to a new location, you may want to create a new folder for the processed files before starting the batch.
Note: The Process Multiple Files command does not work on multiple page files.
Choose File > Process Multiple Files.
Choose the files to process from the Process Files From pop‑up menu:
Folder
Processes files in a folder you specify. Click Browse to locate and select the folder.
Import
Processes images from a digital camera or scanner.
Opened Files
Processes all open files.
Select Include All Subfolders if you want to process files in subdirectories of the specified folder.
For Destination, click Browse and select a folder location for the processed files.
If you chose Folder as the destination, specify a file-naming convention and select file compatibility options for the processed files:
For Rename Files, select elements from the pop‑up menus or enter text into the fields to be combined into the default names for all files. The fields let you change the order and formatting of the components of the filename. You must include at least one field that is unique for every file (for example, filename, serial number, or serial letter) to prevent files from overwriting each other. Starting Serial Number specifies the starting number for any serial number fields. If you select Serial Letter from the pop-up menu, serial letter fields always start with the letter “A” for the first file.
For Compatibility, choose Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX® to make filenames compatible with the Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX operating systems.
Under Image Size, select Resize Images if you want each processed file resized to a uniform size. Then type in a width and height for the photos, and choose an option from the Resolution menu. Select Constrain Proportions to keep the width and height proportional.
To apply an automatic adjustment to the images, select an option from the Quick Fix panel.
To attach a label to the images, choose an option from the Labels menu, then customize the text, text position, font, size, opacity, and color. (To change the text color, click the color swatch and choose a new color from the Color Picker.)
Select Log Errors That Result From Processing Files to record each error in a file without stopping the process. If errors are logged to a file, a message appears after processing. To review the error file, open with a text editor after the Batch command has run.
Click OK to process and save the files.

How do I design a Process for resizing multiple files for Premiere Elements

Hi
I am trying to understand how best to resize my slide shows of still photos to export to Premiere Elements, to reduce errors in rendering, as advised on a separate discussion.
I understand I should reduce the resolution to something like the PE Frame Size, 720 by 576 for UK PAL.
I cannot do this on Files with pan and zoom
So I think this is what I do
Export a Collection to a file.
Resize all files in the folder to a new folder using the Process Multiple files command
On trying that I have the following questions
If I do it this way, the files in portrait orientation don't correctly resize to the size I want, so what do I do with a folder of mixed orientations? Do I do two passes, or rotate the Photos, or something else?
Now do I now have to reimport all these photos (the resized collection) into the Catalogue, create a new Collection, and then apply zooms in my Slide Show creation of this Collection. I really want to retain the original photos for printing quality so don't really want to take the originals out of the Catalogue. I will end up doubling the size of my catalogue?
Will the pan/zoom ones cause a problem to render in PE?
Thanks
Chris

I have PEv.8 on my machine now, but it is probably the same in v.5
In Editor, go to File>Process multiple files. In the dialog, on the right under "Labels" you should find "Watermark".
An alternative is to make a brush containing the information which you wish to impart. With a brush you can place it precisely in a locus that you desire, but this would be labor intensive for 400 photos. The brush would be retained among the other brushes, and it could be used at any time.

How do you add a water mark to multiple images within multiple files?

I am having real trouble in trying to add a water mark to multiple images (mixture of jpegs and tiffs) within multiple file.
I have used the Batch processing tool, but this hasn't worked or has been inconvenient, asking me to resave each individual file.
If anyone can help or suggest another way of doing this, that would be great!
Thanks
Becca

Are you using Russell Brown's script for placing watermarks? Also you mentioned, "Within multiple file." Did you mean multiple folders? The batch processor has a check box for applying process to multiple folders. What itsn't working - exactly?

Multiple file download issues

Hi All,
I have designed an APEX application to download multiple files. I have check box in each row of the file name and a download button.
When the users checks set of checkboxes and click on the "Download" Button, i am expecting the marked files to be downloaded. I am encountering the below issues in this implementation(i.e single file download is fine):
1. When ticks all the check boxes and click download, the files are never downloading. The target URL goes something like this :
www.example.com/abc/bcd/wwv_flow.accept
and there is a cross icon in the new page. No download happening.
2. When ticks few files and leave rest of the files un-checked, there are either junk charactes in target page (or) only the last checked box file alone downloading.
Please refer the code below and advice. Thanks very much in advance.
Code:
=====
declare
check_box_val varchar2(500):=' ';
file_name varchar2(500):=' ';
begin
for i in 1..htmldb_application.g_f01.count
loop
check_box_val:=nvl(htmldb_application.g_f02(i),' ');
if(check_box_val<>' ') then
sho_pdf(check_box_val);
end if;
end loop;
exception
when others then
null;
end;

How to add a field for multiple file upload in WebApps ?

I am creating a WebApp for user to save some information with multiple pitcures. I can only see a single uploader.
How can I add multiple image uploader and How can I create a custom file upload field rather than image upload ?

Hi,
There's no other upload field type for web apps. You'll need to use the "image file type" to apply multiple file upload fields within the web app form in this case.
Kind regards,

File corruption on SDCard when multiple files are being written from WinCE 6.0R3

We currently have file corruption problems which we have been able to reproduce on our system which uses WinCE 6.0R3. We have an SDCard in our system which is mounted as the root FS. When multiple files are being written to the file system we occasionally
see file corruption with data destined from one file, ending up in another file, or in another location in the same file. We have already written test SW that we have been able to use to reproduce the problem, and have worked with the SDCard vendor to
check that the memory controller on the card is not the source of the problems.
We know that the data we send to WriteFile() is correct, and that the data which eventually gets sent through the SDCard driver to the SD card is already corrupted.
We believe that the problem is somewhere in the microsoft private sources between the high level filesystem API calls and the low level device calls that get the data onto the HW.
We have confirmed that the cards that get corrupted are all good and this is not a case ofpoor quality flash memory in the cards. The same cards that fail under WinCE 6.0R3 never fail under the same types of testing on Windows, Mac OX, or linux. We
can hammer the cards with single files writes over and over, but as soon as multiple threads are writing multiple files it is only a matter of time before a corruption occurs.
One of the big problems is that we are using the sqlcompact DB for storing some data and this DB uses a cache which get's flushed on it's own schedule. Often the DB gets corrupted because other files are being written when the DB decides to flush.
So we can reproduce the error (with enough time), and we know that data into the windows CE stack of code is good, but it comes out to the SDcard driver corrupted. We have tried to minimize writes to the file system, but so far we have not found a
way to make sure only one file can be written at once. Is there a setting or an API call that we can make to force the OS into only allowing one file write at a time, or a way of seeing how the multiple files are managed in the private sources?
Thanks
Peter

All QFE's have been applied we are building the image so we have some control.
I have build an image which used the debug DLL's of the FATFS and I have enabled all of the DebugZones. The problem is still happening. From the timings in the debug logs and the timestamps in the data which corrupts the test file I have been able
to see that the file is corrupted AFTER the write is complete. Or at least that's how it seems.
We finished writing the file and closed the handle. Then more data is written to other files. When we get around to verifying the file it now contains data from the files that were subsequently written.
What I think I need to do is figure out in detail how the two files were "laid down" onto the SDCard. If the system used the same cluster to write the 2 files then that would explain the issue.

Adobe Acrobat pro 9.4.6 crashes when opening multiple files simultaneously.

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 which has been updated to version 9.4.6. we had this problem when the 9.4.5 update was applied also. It is now crashing when we try to open multiple files simultaneously.
Yesterday, I narrowed down the problem to 6 plugins:
IA32
ADBC
eBook
EScript
HLS
PPKLite
SaveAsRTS
However, we discovered that that Comments and markup tool bars weren't loading. So I did a repair install on it.
Now those plugins from yesterday work and Acroform.api is causing it to crash when opening multiple files.
I did try other suggestion that involved using Icacls/cacls on dll files to no avail.
It is running on XP SP3 fully updated with plenty of RAM and HDD space.
Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.

Sub folders and Process multiple files in Photoshop Elements 10

I am looking to apply the same adjustments to numerous images in numerous sub-folders and overwrite the original images.
Using the Process Multiple Files options, I added the main folder (which contains no images) to the Source field, selected the Include All Subfolders tick-box, also selected the Same as Source tick-box (which warns you original files will be overwritten) and then completed the image adjustments I required. However, after running the process all the adjusted images were saved in the main folder and did not overwrite the originals contained in each sub-folder. Does anyone know if there is a setting I am missing to replace the images in the sub-folders or is this by design ?

bossti a écrit:
hi, so is it possible to keep the same subfolder structure as output location? regards! bostjan
No...
I think you are going to run great risks in trying to use batch process like 'process multiple files' or 'export' while relying on subfolder structures.
- the organizer is much more powerful with its database and keywords management than a folder structure organization,
- Batch processes are limited in Elements
- 'Good practice' calls for keeping originals intact.
What are you wanting to do exactly ? We might be able to suggest alternative workflows.

Multiple file in a project

I have never had a need to have multiple files in a project but now i do and i have no idea the corect way to do it.
I have my main flex project file "test.xmxl" which contains the code below.
What i would like to do is create another file say "otherfile.???". So that what i want to do specifically is only in that file and not done in test.xmxl.
Two things come to mind.
#1) what is the name of the new file i would make. is it a XMXL Application, Component, Module or Action Script File, Class ?
#2) When i do make this new file how can i deal with items that are in test.xmxl file from otherfile.???
I.E. in test i have a TextArea, but i want to be able to change that text from within otherfile.??? how is that done ?

Sort multiple files as TV shows?!?

I've got a lot of TV shows my friend gave me (for example South Park and Happy Tree Friends). But there's one thing that really bugs me out, that is that whenever I import a video file into iTunes it gets sorted as a Movie so I have to sort every single file as a TV show, very boring to do, just because there's no way of selecting multiple files and ⌘I them and sort TV shows. Why in the world are there so little options in +Multiple Item Info?+
+*Please Help Me!*+

Hey, Meg, how about legally recorded shows transferred from a Tivo? Or VHS? I have many of those, plus all the DVDs I've backed up into iTunes, so I can watch them through my AppleTV and have the DVDs all in a box in my basement.
The UI for dealing with TV Shows is terrible, a complete afterthought. The tag fields are very much structured around songs (Why do movies have an Album field? And not a Director field?), and I can't sync specific episodes of a TV Show to my iPhone. Once upon a time, I could make a playlist with TV episodes, and sync that playlist, but that ability appears to be gone: I no longer see that playlist in any of my tabs where I pick the info to sync.
If I create a playlist with one song and one tv show, and set that to sync, it syncs the song only. Yet if I just give in, and label all my TV shows movies, I can sync anything I want. It's terrible.
