Batch process to create subfolders within each Teacher's Hand In folder?

(newbie administrator of a school art lab)
Originally the contractors set up shared folders according to what they thought I needed.
Now I'm getting more comfortable with Workgroup Manager and want to set up the mac server hand in folders with the same hierarchical structure as the ones on the Windows server. Specifically, I have twenty (for now) teacher accounts in workgroup manager. Within each one I want to have three folders (Docs on MacSvr, Hand In and Hand Out) and within Hand In I want 8 folders: Period 1, Period 2 etc. I can do this individually and have all the permissions figured out, but I'd rather not do this one at a time if someone can point me to a book or website that can teach me how to create folders and set permissions with a script or batch file.

I'm getting closer, I'm studying the information
from this thread:

Retrieving Automate Batch processes I created in Photoshop CC before updating to Photoshop CC 2014

I used Photoshop CC this afternoon and created a couple of batch processes. This evening I had to update CC and the result was that when I opened Photoshop CC 2014 the two batch processes I created were not there. Is there a way to import them and from where?

Moving the discussion to Photoshop General Discussion.

Batch Process for creating button sets in Fireworks - help

Hi,
I'm new to Fireworks still, I've created some really simple
buttons and I was wondering if it's possible to do a batch process
on them to repeat a few steps e.g. changing background colour,
border colour, text colour etc... It would save me lots of time and
I could make some extra sets then.
Thanks,
Rob

Actually Find and Replace will go through a directory as
well.

How to speed up PDF batch processing when creating searchable image PDF's?

When using the batch processing tool in adobe to create multiple searchable image files into PDF, the process is considerably slower compared to scanning straight from the adobe window and importing scan back into adobe. Is there a way to get around this?

The flaw is here:
This is a Windows Server 2012 box
Adobe desktop programs are generally not officially supported on server operating systems. Whatever issues you have are probably due to things like local users vs. network users, disk quota, specific group policies or plain and simple another process occupying or blocking the same port that the QT server is using. In any case, this is nothing we can figure out for you. You have to sit down and work your way through the server's administration tools, turn off stuff, change user permissions. Check the event logs for conflicting processes or use tools like Sysinternals' Process Monitor or Wireshark to track down port collisions and otehr problems.

Batch processing recursively in subfolders

Hi List,
Using FW CS4
I'd like to convert a great number of images located in multiple subfolders.
Is there a way to play the batch processing command in reccursiv mode?
Any help or jsf sample would be very welcome.

I don't think so. An alternative to a batch sequence would be an external program or script that uses IAC (InterApplication Communications, see Acrobat SDK) methods to make the changes you want.

Batch process to create large number of metadata fields in UCM?

Is there any kind of scripting available to create a large number of metadata fields in UCM?.
thanks

I can give you a code in java, which adds two metadata fields. It's quite hardcoded, but you could use it as a basis for a script:
String FIELD1_NAME = "xsecretKey";
String FIELD2_NAME = "xattachmentID";
if (binder == null)
binder = new DataBinder(SharedObjects.getSafeEnvironment());
String maxOrderQuery = "select MAX(dOrder) as dOrder from DocMetaDefinition";
try
String val = loader.getDBConfigValue(COMPONENT_NAME, COMPONENT_SUBNAME, null);
//binder.putLocal("dName", FIELD1_NAME);
binder.putLocal("dName", FIELD2_NAME);
ResultSet tempRs = ws.createResultSet("Qmetadef", binder);
if (val == null || tempRs.isEmpty())
ResultSet rset = ws.createResultSetSQL(maxOrderQuery);
String orderStr = ResultSetUtils.getValue(rset, "dOrder");
int order = NumberUtils.parseInteger(orderStr, 0);
setNewFieldParams(binder, "BigText", "secretKey", "<$dateCurrent()*1$>");
addNewMetadataField(FIELD1_NAME, binder, ++order, null, null, ws, cxt);
setNewFieldParams(binder, "Text", "attachmentID", null);
addNewMetadataField(FIELD2_NAME, binder, ++order, null, null, ws, cxt);
rset = ws.createResultSetSQL("select * from DocMeta where dID=0");
if (!testResultSetFieldExists(rset, FIELD1_NAME))
FieldInfo fi[] = loader.createFieldInfo(new String[] {
FIELD1_NAME
}, 200);
//fi[0].m_type = 5;
ws.alterTable("DocMeta", fi, null, new String[] {
"dName"
if (!testResultSetFieldExists(rset, FIELD2_NAME))
FieldInfo fi[] = loader.createFieldInfo(new String[] {
FIELD2_NAME
}, 30);
//fi[0].m_type = 3;
ws.alterTable("DocMeta", fi, null, new String[] {
"dName"
loader.setDBConfigValue(COMPONENT_NAME, COMPONENT_SUBNAME, "7.0", "1");
catch (Exception e)
SystemUtils.dumpException(null, e);
}

How to create multiple pdf files from multiple batch processing

I have several file folders of jpeg images that I need to convert to separate multi-page pdf files. To give a visual explanation:
Folder 1 (contains 100 jpeg image files) converted to File 1 pdf (100 pages; 1 file)
Folder 2 (contains 100 jpeg image files) converted to File 2 pdf (100 pages; 1 file)
and so on.
I know I can convert each folder's content as a batch process, but I can only figure out how to do so one folder at a time. Is it at all possible to convert multiple folders (containing jpegs) to multiple pdf files? Put differently, does anyone know how to process a batch of folders into multiple (corresponding) pdf files?
Many thanks.

There are two approaches to do this:
- First convert all JPG files to PDF files using a "blank" batch process. Then combine all PDF files in the same folder using another batch process and a folder-level script (to do the actual combining). I have developed this tool in the past and it's available here:
http://try67.blogspot.com/2010/10/acrobat-batch-combine-all-files-in.html
- The othe option is to do everything in a single process, but that requires an application outside of Acrobat, which I'm currently developing.
If you're interested in any of these tools, feel free to contact me personally.

Batch processing - sequential actions (CS5)

I would appreciate any help for the following scenario as no internet search has been useful so far.
I need to batch process a set of folders, each with subfolders inside, and each subfolder with 3 images as follows:
-TWG 1
- subfolder 1
     - green 1.tif
     - blue 1.tif
     - red 1
- subfolder 2
     - green 2.tif
     - blue 2.tif
     - red 2.tif
- subfolder 3 .....
- TWG 2....
- TWG 3....
My goal is to take green 1, blue 1, red 1 and combine them into a single image placing each into the respective color channels.
Combo 1.tiff = red channel (image from red 1), blue channel (blue 1), green channel (green 1)
I have already created 2 actions as follows:
Action 1 - autocontrast each image - purpose is to open all 3 images using batch processing and leave them open for action 2
Action 2 - combine the 3 open files into a single combo.tif and closes all files leaving no files opened
My questions are as follows:
1) Is it possible to batch process a folder that opens all images prior to proceeding through the action? This would allow me to open the 3 files in each subfolder and process them all together, skipping action 1 that I already created
2) Is there a way to automate a batch such that sequential actions are used? For example A) batch is processed through action 1 first, and then B) action 2 kicks after all 3 pics have already been opened from action 1
3) Can I automate this entire process for the parent folder of everything? (Pictures/TWG1-9/subfolders1-9/green1, red1, blue1)
I appreciate any help or advice in this matter.
Thanks.

You'll probably have to use a script if you want to automate things at the high level of being able to traverse multiple folders. I'm no scripting expert, but I know there are a lot of them about, especially here:

How to : only one user in a branch can do the batch process at a time ?

dear gurus,
In ADF web application, accessed by multiple branch (20), there is a
batch process to create invoices from orders. There are 3-5 users in a
branch. one user can process about 30 - 50 orders to become
invoices.
Business rule is : In one batch process, each users must produce
invoices with gapless invoice number. e.g : user_1 create 30 invoices
no.001 - 030, user_2 create 40 invoices no.031-070 ... and so on...
So we want to protect that at a time, in one branch, only one user can
do the batch process. User_2 must wait until user_1 is done to start
the process.
We use the table below to maintain the latest invoice number created :
CREATE TABLE doc_number
DOC_TYPE VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL,
BRANCH_CODE VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL,
DOC_NBR NUMBER(12) DEFAULT 0,
CONSTRAINT "DOC_NUMBER_PK" PRIMARY KEY (DOC_TYPE, BRANCH_CODE)
The question is :
I think of locking a spicific row of the doc_number table (select ...
for update wait 10) at the beginning of the batch process stored
procedure.
But what if the session/connection left orphan and the row is lockde
forever before the dba kill it ?
So is there a better approach to limit the user execution of the
process ?
Thank you very much for your help,
Krist

Forget it. See http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:4343369880986.
However, if you are dead set on doing this old fashioned thing of trying to emulate paper invoices from a numbered tablet, you could always just let everyone generate all of their invoices with no invoice number whenever they want, then at some time ( say 21:00 every day), take a lock on the table and apply invoice numbers to all of the records with a null invoice number -- which will take only a few centiseconds at most. And let the users/system print only invoices that have numbers assigned. This way, you pretty much eliminate the concurrency issue of various branches generating invoices only in their time window -- yuk, what an awful way to have to do business.
And completely forget about users or branches having their own range of numbers. That is completely nuts. Your database already knows which branch owns which invoice, right??

Acrobat Pro X batch processing different in Win 7

Greetings,
My company just completed moving everyone from Win XP to Win 7 (yes, I know, but better late than never). I regularily use Acrobat Pro X to batch process and password protect large numbers of a variety of documents (Word, Publisher, Excel and PowerPoint 2-up printouts.)
Under Windows XP the process was pretty straight forward:
1) Open Acrobat Pro
2) Secect "Batch Process" File -> Create -> Batch Create Multiple files... (a window appears).
3) Drag a large group of documents into the window (you can drag over 50 docs, it doesn't matter), then begin the process (which automatically walks through all the documents and PDFs them.)
4) When the process is complete, open up the Action Wizard File -> Action Wizard -> Select the appropriate action
5) A window appears, drag the PDFs into the window and go. All PDS quickly get the security applied.
Done
With Windows 7 the functionality is different (I really don't know if it is the operating system change or some type of policy change that I am unaware of). The process is far slower because I literally have to PDF and Apply Security to each document one at a time. The process goes like this:
Under Windows 7:
1) Select a group of documents, but NO MORE THAN 15.
2) Drag the documents over the "Acrobat Pro X" icon and launch them this way. Each document created a "temporary PDF". Multiple windows open up, stacked on top of each other.
3) Go to each window individually and first save the file (that way the file name is preserved), then go to the Action Wizard and apply the security. Then close the PDF.
4) Repeat this process for each open window (document).
5) Repeat as necessary until you have the several hundred documents processed.
Literally this is a "hands-on" process for each document. Is there a better way? Am I missing something in the Acrobat or Windows 7 settings?
If I try to batch process the old way under Windows 7 I get a series of error messages for each document. (I can't even get to the action wizard process.)
Any suggestions?
Is there a third party app that will work without having to administer it so much?
Thank you,
TPK

Hi Test Screen Name,
While reproducing the problem I realized I was in error as to how far in the sequence the problem occured. I actually do get as far as batch creating PDF,. The only difference there is that I can no longer "drag and drop" files in the batch create window. I have to use the "Add files..." command in the upper left of the batch create window.
So, the application batch creates the files. Afterward, I use the Action Wizard to batch "Password Protect" the files. It is during this command run that the error occures. (Note: I am trying to save over the old files by having them save to the same directory under the same name, just like I used to be able to do.) The error I get is:
Action Completed.
Saved to: \\HOME\path-to-original-files\
Warning/Errors
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document in a different
Document: Name of document1.pdf
Output: Name of document1.pdf
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document in a different
Document: Name of document2.pdf
Output: Name of document2.pdf
The error message loops through all the documents. I don't have the documents open or in use. By default they shouldn't be "read-only". This all did not occure when I previously used the application with Windows XP.
I have not yet tried saving them to a different directory. I will try that later today. (I didn't want to have a lot of versions of the same documents, it tends to be confusing.)
Thank you for your reply,
TPK

Allow every user to create subfolders

Hello everybody,
after some changes in our internal role system I need your help.
In BEX there you can go to
open query or open workbook.
Then hit the button "Roles"
There we can see the menu with all visible folders.
How can I allow every user to create subfolders within the folders he is already allowed to see?
As I activate a certain role even I (administrator) gets a greyed out view.
Is there a way that users can create new folders in a convenient way?
Thanks for your help!
Harry

I think the DNSAdmins group will give them too much control over the server (change forwarders, etc..).
Create a custom MMC snapin and assign related permissions. The picture below may give you an idea:

Batch Processing only working on open image

I am trying to run a Batch process on several folders of photos. In order to use the Batch process I need to have an image open, so I open a random image and run the batch process. I'm not using any custom made actions, only the defaults. Instead of taking the photos in a given folder, running the batch process, and creating a new folder for these images, Photoshop keeps running the batch process on the open image. Not sure what I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

How to batch process auto white balance

I have 500 RAW photos taken in different lighting situations. How do I batch process these photos so that each photo is individually auto adjusted for white balance. I also have the same question for EXPOSURE.

If you're using Aperture 3.3 or later, you can use "Auto Enhance" to do this, which will attempt to automatically set the white balance, exposure (a mild tweaks), put a curve on the photos, etc. In general, I find it provides a pretty good starting point.
You can do it as an import preset. OR, you can select all the photos you want to edit, then choose Photos->Add Effect->Quick Fixes->Auto Enhance.
If you don't like it you can go through Photos again to remove all adjustments.
Auto enhance is pretty neat; it has 4 or 5 things it does. You could define your own preset that did ONLY white balance and exposure if you wanted as an import preset.
Note you have to do it through the menu at top. If you do it from effects on the left it will only apply to a single photo.

Batch processing from Bridge: including "Subfolders"

I posted in the Camera Raw forum on this, but thought it would not hurt to re-post here.
Context: Mac quad G5, 4G Ram, 4 internal drives, OS 10.4.11, Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0.1, ACR 4.4, Bridge 2.1.1.9
Checking the "Include All Subfolders" box seems not to process any folders contained within the currently selected Bridge window. All selected files, other than the subfolders, process as usual.
Some jobs require that images be sorted by machine or model number, and into folders. Now I want to make previews for the client.
I had never used this option before ("Include All Subfolders"). Is there a trick to it? TIA, kl
Omke suggested Batching from CSPS, and Ramón suggested Dr Brown's 1-2-3 Processor. it's good, to be sure, but it has no option to check subfolders, and selecting a folder that contains images and subfolders is not permitted.
TIA, KL

Thanks, Omke; ignore that Q. I posted on the "Features" thread.
I just ran a quick test on Dr Brown's 1-2-3, but selecting it via "Scripts"; amazingly, the "Include subfolders" check box appears.
The only part that does not seem to work is that the results of the processing seem to be in one folder only (rather than the processing following the folder structure of the folders, or, in the case of using 1-2-3 from Bridge, TIFFs appearing in one folder marked "TIFFs" and JPEGS in their own folder).
Not a big problem, but if there is a way to reproduce the folder structure of the *Source* files and subsolders, I will be 100% happy!
Cheers, kl

Creating a moasic-batch processing question?

I 'volunteered' help to do a project for my daughter. For an
elementary school fundraiser, she wants to create four moasics -- 11X17 images --
one for each of four classes, with an 'Egyptian' theme -- at least one of the
images being of the pyramids of Giza.
The plan is this: several of the mommies will take their digital cameras to
school this week, and take photos of the children, and then let the children
snap away fill up the rest of the memory card. Assuming there are five
mommies, and that each provides a hundred photos -- they're going to put them
on CD's -- I could wind up with only 500 photos, and these moasic apps need
tons more images.
My 'plan', such as it is, is to take these photos and duplicate them as many
times as necessary, and then change the color cast of some of the different
batches, e.g. -- some with a 'blue' cast, some with a 'sand colored' cast, etc.
The idea is, MacOSaiX will choose the blue for the sky, the sand for the sand,
etc.
Questions: Given a big enough HD, and using PSE 4, can I easily duplicate
batches of the originals photos-- say 50 or a 100 at a time? Is there a
'batch' commend/process that would let me do that?
Ditto, changing the color -- can I apply the same color change to a large batch
of photos at the same time?
The PSE 4 Help seems to say I can 'batch process' all the files in selected
folders, but it doesn't mention duplicating all the images in the folder. It
does _seem to say that I could do the automatic 'color' adjustment.
Any help/suggestions to 'improve' this plan would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Hal

That is what i ended up doing - basically batching up 100 items and then doing a service callout until all the items are processed (inside a pipeline pair). In this case I guess this works fine, but if this were a web service proxy instead of a MFL file proxy service it seems like the pattern is inefficient - I would do service callouts in the for each and aggregate the responses, then I'd need to call a service at the end (via a route) just to create a response (so it doesn't just echo the original request back). Or is there a better way?
