Automator doesn't go to next action step, actions not working

I am trying to make a simple Photoshop CS2 sequence in automator, I downloaded the CS2 actions from http://www.completedigitalphotography.com/index.php?p=339 ... i used:
Flatten Document
Resize Image
Save as TIFF
It only does the first step (flatten), it has a little green check mark next to each other action and said it completed them, but my image size remains unchanged, and it doesn't save as TIFF..
I tried to put 'Resize Image' on its own, and 'Save as Tiff', turns out they don't work on the image..
Whats the use of an automator if it doesn't do more than one action at a time? and whats the use of having actions if they don't do any action..
In the .sit file from the cs2action pack, are there action files or .atn files that i have to copy into my CS2 actions folder? When i upack the .sit file I don't find any .atn files...
Hope someone can ease my frustrations.

Hi,
You need to add a "Continue" statement at the end of your
script otherwise you will have to click on Skip to go to next
slide.
And all the Quzzing information can be accessed from Flash
using the Quizn variables.
thanks

  • Backing up actions - Not working after re-install.

    I recently had hard drive issues that led to PC issues so I decided to do a full re-install of Windows 8.1 and all my programs.
    After installing Ps CS6 64-bit, when I loaded my backed up actions into Ps, some of my actions would not work.  Giving me 'missing' notifications when I ran them.  Things like 'Vignette Portrait 15%' which involved the steps - new layer, selection, feather, inverse selection, fill, set current layer (15% layer opacity is what caused this label) - this one would not work.  I understand some of the more complex ones like logo placement which involved a 'paste' step would not work, because it doesn't know where to paste from.  But then wouldn't that be the same instance after a reboot?  Because it still worked after a reboot.  Simple things like a 50% reduction action worked fine with steps - Image size (width 50% with scale styles with constrain proportions).
    Is there any way to avoid this?  Is there another folder I need to back up rather than clicking 'save actions' in the action panel?

    Updating was the first thing I did before anything else, reason being I always have problems with Photoshop and Bridge crashing unless I update it.  Something to do with my video card I think.
    Used the Adobe clean tool.
    Installed CS6.
    Ran update.
    Then rebooted.
    Installed usual third party software.
    Reboot.
    Loaded actions and presets.

  • Automator Export Action NOT WORKING.

    I realize that double-posting is not typically a good thing, but this forum seems to get more activity than the Automator one, and it sort-of applies to both, so I'm posting here as well...
    Basically, I cannot get the Export Images action to work. I get an error every time:
    "Aperture got an error: NSInternalScriptError (8)"
    Here is my original post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=546528&tstart=0
    Anyone with any help/info would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

    Wow. I can't believe it, but that worked. I had JUST installed it (and had actually never tried the Automator thing) so I just did not assume that that could have been the problem.
    Thanks a bunch for the help, Kevin. That was about as simple as it gets. It seems to be working just fine now.
    (except it exports ALL of the images in a given album, i.e., the ones inside stacks as well. But hey, I can live with that. At least it works at all.)
    thanks again.

  • Run Script action not working when verifying bundle

    I have a critical "Run Script" action in a bundle. When verifying the bundle, the script doesn't seem to run and the verify action hangs indefinitely.
    I see the following lines in the ZCM Log:
    Code:
    [DEBUG] [07/21/2011 19:05:48.670] [5880] [runscriptenf] [1] [TeachGH] [Run Script Action] [] [Found script engine cmd.exe. Not using it since cmd.exe does not take parameters.] [] []
    [DEBUG] [07/21/2011 19:05:58.311] [5880] [runscriptenf] [1] [TeachGH] [Run Script Action] [] [Run Script Action - Ended - 7:05:58 PM] [] []
    nothing else is logged after those 2 lines. It seems like ZCM decides not to run the script for some reason, but is still waiting for it to complete? Or is it possible that it has moved onto the next action, but it is hanging there and not reporting it to the log?
    I have no time to troubleshoot right now, will do so in depth tomorrow. Just wanted to get this posted in case anybody has a clue.

    Nevermind, the next action is running, and that is what is hanging, which I doubt is Zenworks fault... Time for some more troubleshooting.

  • "Review Photos" Action not working

    I have a workflow set up to get the selected folder (full of photos), get all items in that folder and any subfolders, and let me review them, then import the selected photos into iPhoto. However, when it gets to the "Review Photos" action it basically stops, not showing me the window, and just gives the spinning gear. When I checked to see if the results given to it by the previous action were photos, they were. When I tried this with only a few photos, it took it a (long) while and then it finally told me that it the action "Review Photos" encountered an error. The only thing I did that I can think of that would make this happen is that I did go into the contents of the action in Finder, although I did not mess around with it at all. If anyone knows where I could re-download this action if that was the problem, I would greatly appreciate it. If this is a known issue, does anybody know a fix? Thanks.

    This sounds very similar to my problem with Automator 2.02/OS 10.5.4. I created a "cull photos" workflow a while ago which I thought was working - I select a folder, review the images in the folder, and label/rename the rejected photos (and, yes, it would be more than nice if I could deal with each of the three categories rather than only one!).
    I opened the workflow tonight and it hung on the "Review Photos" - timed out. I deleted the Action and inserted another, presumably identical action, and it worked. Or so I thought. I managed to correctly rename and label several rejects among 20 photos before I quit the action.
    Changing the action slightly to accept multiple files (I had ~700 to process and it was extremely slow) and pre-labeling the selected input files, I ran the workflow again. This time the review photos action on 20 photos quit after the first was accepted. I ran it again and it managed to continue after a reject, but passed nothing to the next action (reporting an error in the log - the action "...Next after Review Photos" was not supplied with the required data).
    After several attempts to run it, the action started "spinning" every time and failed to complete. Ever.
    Replacing it with a "new" "Review Photos" seemed to work, processing 5 selected photos, but again failing by not providing the next action with the appropriate file names.
    None of the images are corrupt, I have selected small numbers of images to avoid overloads, I have saved the workflow, and I have closed and re-opened Automator. I find only this discussion topic which appears similar. What might be happening?
    Are there alternatives to "Review Photos", which is a pretty poor applet anyway?

  • Actions and Advanced Actions not working correctly. - Captivate 8

    In our project, we have it set so that after every section the student is asked three quiz questions (they are set on the default quiz slides.) On success, the person jumps to the next question slide. On failure, the person goes to next slide which has two buttons - one that allows them to simply move forward to the next quiz question and one that allows them to go back and review. The "Go back and Review" button takes the person back to the specific content slide that contains the answer to the question they are being asked. This button is set to advanced actions "Jump to Slide ..." and "Show Button..." - The button is a 'Return to Quiz' button to allows the person to find the answer then try the question again.  I know that the buttons on the default quiz slides cannot be programmed to do a specific action, but every time we click 'Submit' it seems fine until we click 'Next' to move ahead, it then routes us back to one of the content slides (Slide 7) instead of the next slide (if wrong), or the next question slide (if right). I have looked at the Advanced Interactions Window and there is nothing linking this slide to anything. I have not had this problem with any of our other modules or sections. I have tried creating new question slides and it did not work. I deleted Slide 7 and it worked fine the first time through the preview, but then when I viewed the preview again, it started jumping back and would not even let me get to the questions. Can anyone help?

    Normally the Next button on a question slide is not needed, because it has the functionality of Skipping the question. It is however needed if you want to allow Review.
    Another explanation is that you did change the normal work flow for a question slide, where a two-step process for submitting will take automatically the user to the next slide.
    Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
    What did you do to need the Next button? If the user submits:
    Feedback appears with the indication to press Y or to click on the slide, happens at the pausing point of the Question slide (default is 1.5secs)
    When user presses Y or clicks, the actions Success/Last Attempt are executed if all attempts are exhausted, and you have only 1 attempt on Question level: the actions are by default Continue, but you can change it to 'Go to Next Slide' to shorten the waiting time (or drag the pausing point closer to the end of the slide).
    What did you change?

  • Advanced actions not working in project preview or publish

    I have a project with advanced actions which work fine in single slide preview but which don't work at all in project preview or when I publish.  To make it even worse a slide on the same project I did earlier works ok when previewed.  Very confused!  Any suggestions?  I have used the force publish option and all the timelines look the same as the successful slide as far as I can see so I have no idea.

    Hi Lilybiri,
    sorry for the delay in replying, I've been tied up elsewhere.  I'm using CP7.  My advanced action is simply meant to show one image after another on click of a button.  It works perfectly for the first instance and then doesn't for the next two.  The only difference between the slides is that the latter two have the images stacked on top of each other whereas the first slide has the images placed separately on the slide.  This is the advanced action for the first slide:
    The decisions just refer to the images.  And this is the timeline:
    Compared to one of the slides that doesn't work (no images appear)
    where again the decisions are just referrring to showing images, and the timeline for this slide:
    As I said they both look the same to me apart from the layering of images on the second slide. Any help much appreciated!

  • Step Over not working with Remote Debugging of Servlets with JRUN

    Platform: JRun 4, JDK 1.4.1, JDev 9.0.3
    using JPDA and copied jpda.jar to JDEV_HOME/java1.2/jre/lib/ext and set path to jar in app server path.
    using debug args: java.args=-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5000
    ok, I'm able to attach JDeveloper to JRun and remotely debug by jumping from breakpoint to breakpoint but stepover causes JDeveloper to continue execution to completion or to next breakpoint. Any idea why step over does not work? The only way to halt execution during remote debugging is by using breakpoints.
    Thanks in advance for any insight to this issue.

    Hi Bob,
    I think OTN ate the other thread. It says there are 4 replies, but it won't display them. Here's my latest reply.
    I just noticed something interesting from your original message. You say you are using JDK 1.4.1 for the app server (that's good) and you are using JDev 903. But you say you have copied jpda.jar to JDEV_HOME\java1.2. That doesn't make sense because JDev 903 didn't have a java1.2 directory; I think JDev 903 has a jdk directory which contains JDK 1.3 (actually 1.3.1_03 or something like that).
    Also, jpda.jar is really old and the directions for using jpda.jar and for putting jpda\bin on the app server path is really old. Those directions were needed for JDK 1.2 because JPDA was released AFTER the JDK 1.2 was released. Starting with JDK 1.3, jpda is built in and you don't need the jdpa.jar or the jpda\bin, etc.
    All this reminds me that in JDK 1.2, HotSpot had bugs where stepping didn't work!!! I'm almost positive that this is what you are experiencing. Here is my advice:
    1. Make absolutely sure that you are using JDK 1.4.1 (or at least JDK 1.3 or later) for running your app server. Make sure that you are not using JDK 1.2 - you may have modified your app server so that it uses JDEV_HOME\java1.2\bin\java.exe[i]Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

  • Cross browser testing : Modifier Keys playback actions not working in chrome and Firefox

    Hi,
    In my work flow I have to select multiple items in list.So I have recorded 'Ctrl+Click' action to select list items.In Chrome and Firefox it is not selecting multiple Items.
    Even Ctrl+A,Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V also not working in chrome and Firefox.Complete modifier keys support is not observed in chrome and Firefox.Let me Know how to automate modifier keys actions in cross browser?
    Regards,
    Nagasree.

    Hi Nagasree,
    Welcome to MSDN forums.
    First,please make sure the Chrome and Firefox is supported by cross browser testing.
    Latest version of Chrome and Firefox supported by cross browser testing are Chrome version 38.0.2125.111 and
    Firefox 33.
    I doubt whether Chrome and Firefox in cross browser testing don’t support automating modifier keys or there is anything wrong on it if you are using supported browser. Since this issue is related to the Extensions tool
    Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing, if possible, I suggest you post this
    issue here, click “Q AND A”, and then you could post this issue there, you would get dedicated
    support there.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Smart Actions not working properly after software update

    My Razr updated 2 days ago and since then my Smart Actions are not working properly. 
    I have my Work action set to turn the volume down when I'm at a certain GPS.  It shows that "Work" is active, but doesn't turn the volume down.
    Also, there are times (since I've owned the phone) that it will not connect to the network after coming off a Wifi Connection without rebooting the phone.  I took it into a Verizon store and they did a hard reset, and that fixed it for a time, but it started doing it again. 
    Any help appreciated.

        Hi mcclainkb, Let's make sure your phone works as you expect it to! Have you tried removing the Smart Action and setting it back up again?  Are your other GPS services working as normal?  After the hard reset performed in the store did you install all of the same application that you had before?

  • Actions not working- CS3

    I have my own purchased copy of Photoshop CS3 on a PowerMac G5 and it's been working fine.
    Now I can't get the actions to work, and I have 1,000 files to resize.
    I've reinstalled the program, but nothing has changed.
    Here's what I do:
    Through Bridge, open image (tiff), open actions
    create new set, create new action, Record
    resize image, save image as jpg to new folder, close, Stop Action
    In  Photoshop, Batch, select action, select source and destination folders, hit ok
    Action starts, opens up file, resizes, closes
    Usually nothing appears in the new folder.
    Today:
    It is now saving a tiff and a jpg to the new folder, but the jpgs are totally the wrong size, and the tiff is not supposed to be there.
    It's good it's actually saving an image now, but not still doing what I specify
    Any suggestions?

    A Save As-step with Folder-seelction in an Action can be problematic.
    I recommend you just use File > Scripts > Image Processor and drop the Save As-step from the Action.

  • CS4 Photoshop Scripts and Actions not working

    Hi All,
    I just upgraded my suite to CS4 from CS3.  Now all my actions and default scripts such as "Load Files to Photoshop Layers" from Photoshop & Bridge are not working.  I've tried remaking my actions and renaming files but no luck.  I've tried deleting preferences but no luck as well.  Im stuck.

  • Hover action not working with Windows 8.1 touchscreen

    the hover action is not working when using Firefox as browser yet works fine in IE.
