Batch command not closing files automatically

Hi,
Photoshop CS6
Windows 7
How do you make Photoshop automatically save and close a batch of raw files during batch runs?
I'm just now trying the File>Automate>Batch command. I want to run an action on a bunch of .NEF raw files.
How do you get rid of all the dialogs and just make the thing do the action? i.e., just OpenTheRawFile>RunTheAction>SaveAndClose>DoTheNextFile
First it opened them all up one by one in Camera Raw and the ACR window stayed open until I clicked Open Image. So I checked Suppress File Open Options Dialog in the Batch command. That fixed that problem. But Batch left all the files open in Photoshop, didn't close any of them.
So I went back into my action and added a file close. While recording the action I clicked Yes to save changes before closing the file.
However, the batch now pops up that same dialog box after each file asking me if I want to save the file before exiting. This defeats the whole purpose of the Batch command.

Do not use Batch, use one of the available Image Processor scripts instead. If your RAW files have been converted before and have associated ACR setting, The RAW files will be converted using these settings by ACR and ACR will bypass displaying its dialog. If the RAW files have no associated ACR settings the Image Processor scripts have an option that you can use to have the Image Processor open the first RAW file via ACR where ACR will open its dialog. The settings you set will be used to convert all the RAW files processed in the current run of the Image Processor.
Image Processor Pro is available on the web for downloading and is more flexible and powerful then the Image Processor that is shipped with Photoshop. You can set it up to save as many Image File for each file processed. The size and File Type you need.
You can have the Image Processor Pro include in its process an action you create for file that are saved. It can be the same action or different action for each of the file save you set up.

Host command not opening file

In a tabular block, i am storing file names, randomly(different file types from diffrent location on hard drive),
inside field :DOC_LOC
I have a Preview button, that allows to view the file stored from Form.
i give the following command, but i find that the Command simply flashes and goes and closes
and the file is not displyed in its respective application.
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURSOR_STYLE,'BUSY');
host ( 'cmd /C start' ||:DOC_LOCN);
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURSOR_STYLE,'default');At Windows-Start-Run command prompt,, the file opens successfully.
will anyone help me with correct syntax and code, in case if i am wrong, please.

Hi,
Redirect the output to a file and look out for any error. I.e
host ( 'cmd /C start' ||:DOC_LOCN || ' > c:\hostlog.log');Run the form, click on the button. Open the c:\hostlog.log file and see if you have any error thrown.
Edit : I suspect the issue is because there is no space between start and the file name. It should be
host ( 'cmd /C start ' ||:DOC_LOCN);-Arun

Safari does not download files automatically (not able to download at all - unless there is an option for a right click- download the linked file)

Hello all,
I have been having this issue for a while now it starts to get very annoying. Not just Safari, all of my browsers are unable to download any files unless I right click to save. However, for some files/apps there is no way to download at all. For example, when trying to download and install Flash for Safari, I was stuck on a blank web page when the file download was supposed to start, but nothing happened so the installation was unable to proceed. Was trying to download Chrome too, same issue... I could see the download link (as URL) grrr...but it just did not do anything.
Please help!!!

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Not closing file completely

I have writtten a program that you click a JButton and it reads the file to the last line and prints out in the JTextField the first 9 characters of the last line. I am trying to append to this file and have been successfuly witht eh write method in appending to the file. The problem is when I then go back and click on the JBUtton to read the file again it will not find the line that I just added. If I go to where the file is store and open and save the file and go back and run my program again, then it will read it. HOw can I make it read it once I add that line. It seems that the close() might not be workling. What do I do to completely close the file out.? I have done myFile.Close();

Flash CC not closing files, but displaying confirmation message in the output panel

Hi everyone,
I have a JSFL file that basically iterates through some of the frames of an ordinary flash file to validate it has some specific frame labels inserted.
The thing is, after I've ran this once against any flash file, no matter what the result is (either it finds the labels or it doesn't and it traces the result in the ouput panel) flash CC does this weird thing... I try to close any flash file I have open which has some unsaved modifications, and instead of prompting me if I want to save the changes, I see the message in the output panel:
Save changes to "green_fire_dragon.fla"?
So I can't actually close the file because I can't click OK! If I try to close Flash itself I get the same thing.
Can anyone explain this? Thanks!
PS: Not sure if it will make a difference but I can post the javascript code if necessary.

CS6 not closing files out properly?

I have a 2009 15" MacBook Pro (version 10.9.5) that I take to work each day for my job. At work, we are connected to a 2012 server via an ethernet cable. I have issues overwriting files I'm currently working on (from Illustrator OR Photoshop, both CS6). An error message will pop up either saying I don't have permission, or a file error has occurred. To get around this issue, I save file locally to my computer then copy and paste them over, or I have to save multiple copies of a file under different names (ie: file_V1, file_V2) to the server. This will happen randomly and infrequently but not all the time - sometimes it's not an issue to save as I go or rename a file. Other issues outside of using Adobe software is renaming folders and files within the server as I will have similar results - sometimes I'm able and sometimes I don't have access/permission. I've spoken countless times to our IT guy who suggested I hit the forums. Any help would be great.

Batch command shuts down program

New install of Photoshop CS5 for Windows on Windows 7 OS.
When I click File | Automate | Batch, I consistently get a "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working" dialogue box. My only option is to click the "Close program" button.
Any suggestions on how to use the Batch command without closing the program?
Thanks,
Bruce

This is an issue that's apparently cropped up because, of all things, latent bugs in TWAIN drivers. There's another thread around here where
that was figured out. It sounds wrong at first blush, but Adobe is adamant that it's true.
The only workaround, for now, is to remove the optional Twain_32.8ba plug-in. You'll lose your "scan into Photoshop" capability, but you'll gain back the ability to run File - Automate - Batch.
If alternate scanner drivers are available for your hardware, you might try downloading/installing them.

Batch command to auto login

We are using Sony MBPS and it has to be rebooted every month. We have automated much of it using batch files but we would like to further automate it. Is there a batch command to trigger an automatic login of the servers?

Automatic logon can be configured through registry:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231/en-us
The article mentions Windows XP, but it is valid for all later versions of Windows. This is how we do it. We deploy the registry keys through group policy to the machines that need automatic login.

Can't select files when using Automate batch command

Hi all,
I'm having a huge problem here.
I am working with CS3 on a mac (leopard).
I batch process (when applying actions) all the time using the Automate/Batch process command.
I have been doing this for years on my computer but all of a sudden it has developed a problem. When I bring up the batch command and select a source folder, I am not able to select any of the files (jpgs/tiffs) . They are not highlighted for me to select them.
So far I have deactivated and re-installed CS3 on my computer. Still not working. So, I have downloaded CS3 onto my laptop and taken the files from my desktop onto the laptop and the problem is the same. Like I said, this has just started happening for no reason after years of working fine.
Please, please, can anyone help.
Thx.
Richard.

I hardly use the feature, so I may have missed some change, but »Folder« seems to indicate that You are to select a Folder, not Files.

Photoshop CS6 - Batch function will not save files

OK, I have used the "Automate/Batch" function well over a hundred times, so this situation (first time using it in CS6) is VERY frustrating!
Running Adobe CS6 extended v. 13.0.1 x32 on a Win XP sp3 OS.
I have a slew of photos that need nothing done except to resize from the native file size to 6 in x 4 in @ 150 ppi and save into a new folder (to not override the original). I have recorded the action multiple times now and each time I run the action, the files do not save! Here are the various parameters I've used:
Attempt #1:

Please help! This has never been a problem before CS6 and I truly am at my wits end trying to figure out why the files will not save. I have several hundred files that I need to run this on, so doing it individually is not an option.
Thanks in advance for any and all insights!

I'm having a problem with Automating > Batch as well. Strange enough, I did a batch of other photos and it worked fine. Selecting a new set of folders is not working at all; the files simply pop open and then close but the destination folder remains empty. It also doesn't appear the actions are occuring since I don't see them highlighting as the automation runs. I have no idea why it would work then not. BTW, "Override Action "Save As" is unchecked.
~CG
UPDATE: I put a "save as" command at the beginning of the action, then checked the "Override Action "Save As" box and it somehow works now, but not before stalling on an image (normally the last in the folder) and complaining that the image was being used in another program. The only other program opened was Bridge so I'm unsure why it had a problem. I closed both programs and ran the automation with nothing else opened and it worked ... ?? Confused, but not complaining (for now).

Photoshop crashes when selecting File / Automate / Batch

Photoshop users still need a fix for Photoshop crashing whenever they select Batch.
I understand that Adobe staff has chosen to blame scanner drivers for the problem. And, I've read the discussions thru last year (very long and boring when all you want is a fix). But, I'm not settled on several things which do not add-up.
First, I'll review the symptoms for the sake of all interested readers. Photoshop users have reported Photoshop crashing whenever they select File / Automate / Batch from the menu for years. This problem got much worse (widespread) since the release of version 12.0.4. The problem apparently affects only those with Train compatible scanners and who installed Adobe's optional Twain plugin. I never read how anyone came to this conclusion, but scanner drivers are being blamed. The accepted work-around is to disable or remove Adobe's Twain plugin.
Second, I want to point out that Photoshop works normally when using the Twain plugin. I can scan images and they are imported directly into Photoshop without any problems. This was the case before the 12.0.4 update and is still the case now.
Third, I want to pose my most pressing question. What does selecting "Batch..." have to do with scanner drivers? In other words, what possibly could Photoshop be doing with scanner drivers when selecting "Batch..." that it does not do when actually does use the drivers?
Lastly, I'll point out that I am a software developer of over 30 years. So, I understand how it might somehow work out in the details that the source of the problem really is buggy scanner drivers. However, as a programmer with a lot of experience dealing with problems common in device driver API's, I know that good practice is to expect anything. If Photoshop begins a process that calls out to someone else's software API, it should cushion that call with proper exception error handling. All processes should execute with an "if all else fails" contention.

>> What does selecting "Batch..." have to do with scanner drivers?
When running the actions for the Batch command, Photoshop updates it's menu/command state to check which commands are enabled or disabled based on the document state being changed by the actions. Part of that update is calling the scanner interface to see what is available or not, and at that point some drivers crash. Since the crash occurs in third party code executed within Photoshop's context - there was not much Photoshop could do to recover (there was exception handling, but it couldn't work across OS and DLL boundaries).
In Photoshop CS6, we spent quite a bit of time figuring out why they were crashing (apparently there was some assumption about the application GUI state), and how we could avoid them crashing in those circumstances - and now CS6 avoids the crashes in the Batch command even with the TWAIN plugin and drivers are loaded.

Photoshop CS 5 crashes after updating and then using File -- Automate -- Batch

I am running Photoshop CS5 (build 12.0.4 x32) on my XP 32-bit machine and have done so without major problems until about a week ago.
Then all of a sudden when accessing File --> Automate --> Batch the program crashes and I have to force it shutting down manually after which I can restart Photoshop. When trying to access the batch command hereafter the same crash reappears rendering batch commands useless.
I thought about posting here but then decided to reinstall Photoshop again. This enables the fully working software including batch commands once again. However after a short while the update software asks to download and install some patches for all programs. After doing so the same problem happens again in regards to the batch command. Photoshop crashes when accessing it and won't work at all.
I now repeated this procedure twice and have no idea what to do about it.
Is there anybody that has had this experience or knows about a solution?
Do I have to contact Adobe with an error report?
Any help and comment is welcome and mostly appreciated.

Yes, a change in the Adobe update made the existing scanner bug show up more frequently. No, that does not make your statement correct. The bug exists in the scanner driver, and existed before the Adobe update.
The Adobe update is not the cause of the bug, it just made some unrelated change that made the bug appear more frequently. That could be something as simple as putting different values in different locations of memory. We don't know. Only the authors of the scanner driver can know for sure why it is crashing more often now.
Photoshop supports the TWAIN standard, but cannot be responsible for the bugs in the third party drivers that attempt to implement that standard.
The high frequency of bugs in TWAIN drivers is what made us move the TWAIN plugin to "optional" status in the first place -- because too many people were crashing, had a hard time figuring out the cause, and blamed Adobe for something completely beyond our control.
And we already do inform scanner vendors about all the bugs we find in their drivers. But we cannot force them to fix their bugs, nor can we know the nature of all of their bugs to code around them.
I understand that you're angry. But please stop trying to blame an innocent bystander.
Adobe cannot do anything to fix the bugs in your scanner driver. Only the authors of your scanner driver can fix the bugs in your scanner driver.
Until they provide an update to fix the bugs in the driver, your choices are to keep crashing, or not use that buggy scanner driver.
I am going to make this short.
It depends on how you look at it. From your angle, Adobe did their's and the scanner companies are to blame for their buggy software. What you are saying here would be - if compared - resemble a situation where you would go to a car dealer, buy a car, then drive away just to find that the trailer tow hitch you attached your old trailer to would keep falling off all the time. When confronting the dealer about the issue he would reply to you that you have to talk to the manufacturer of the trailer because the problem is their responsibility. How would you as a client react...?
Maybe it is true that the driver software is buggy. However it still did work though under other conditions before this update. That means that you updated something that made these things appear frequently. Maybe you don't know and only they do. Fair enough. But us customers don't have to work these problems out or live with them nor do we have to use our time on posting and fixing companies' errors and mistakes. That's what we pay you for. We only need to use this application hassle free on the spot. Maybe you should start crash testing in an controlled environment before you apply these updates and then post them. Or make a deal with those companies to do so for you. Maybe they will then ignore you or won't tell you about possible bugs to hike their own skin. Fair enough as well. Create some sort of program, a label or whatever that you apply and hand out only to those companies that are "certified by and working with Adobe software" and that they can put on their products or you on your very own Adobe website for all us customers to see and to use as a type of guidance in order to have working hardware and applications and avoid these errors.
There is this saying that goes...
"Where there's a will, there's a way"...!

How do I resolve: "Could not complete the Crop command because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop" error message?

The problem of working across a network is that it's not supported by Adobe:
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

My bookmarks have vanished. I want to re-import from Safari. But the "Import" command in the File menu is not available. What's up?

Firefox works fine. However, my bookmarks toolbar is marked as <empty>. Didn't used to be. I have no idea where they've gone.
So rather than dwell on the loss, I thought I'd move ahead by importing the bookmarks I have in Safari over to Firefox. No luck, the "import" command on the File menu is de-highlighted. I cannot select it.

Adobe 9 Professional Automatically Reopening Closed Files

Since installing Adobe 9 I've had numerous instances where the first time the application is opened it will automatically reopen files I've previously closed. Is there a setting that I need to change to keep this from happening? It seems to think it is recovering files that were not closed properly, but I've saved them and closed them previously.

While I would not mix versions, having both Acrobat and Reader on the same machine should not be a problem at all. The only problem you may run into is having Reader become the default "pdf reader" if you install it after installing Acrobat. Again, don't mix versions, ie: Reader 8, Acrobat X, on the same machine and you should be fine.
