Batch transfer of Paths between files

Lets say I outsource the creation of clipping paths. And lets say that the files I wish to ultimately work on are Lightroom embedded Smart Objects, which are fairly heavy files -- heavier than I'd like to electronically transmit just for path creation. Thus, what I do is create proxy jpegs that get sent out for pathing, then I transfer the paths from the jpegs to the tif files via drag and drop. This is messy and cumbersome when a large number of files are involved.
Is there a script that could take the paths from one file and transfer them to another, in batch, if the files were similarly and/or appropriately named? IOW, if I have 100 files, could a script work on all 100 as a batch? Perhaps for each file there is a naming structure where the pathed jpeg is the same filename as the tiff plus the suffix of "-path"?

Thank you, c.pfaffenbichler, you are always exceptionally helpful.
Unfortunately I understand so little of scripting, this would not be possible for me to write or compile myself. However, I would be happy to pay a modest fee for you or someone to make it for me.
I was vague about file names because I can be flexible to whatever is required. My workflow is to shoot tethered to Lightroom. From there I can generate a folder of Smart Object TIF files that I'd later bring into Photoshop for retouching. And from LR I can also generate a set of flat jpegs that would be used solely to transmit for path creation.. These could have the same name as the Smart Object files, or with any desired suffix added.
So these flat files would go out for paths, and upon their return I would like to, as elegantly as possible, transfer the paths from them to their respective Smart Object files. I don't know if this is best accomplished from one folder to another, or if the files should all be put into the same folder.
In any case, I'm happy to adjust my workflow to the needs of the script/action.
Your interest and assistance is greatly appreciated!

  • Diffrence between File Transport and CTS+ Transport in PI

    Hi Guys,
       Can you please explain me the diffrence between File Transport and CTS+ Transport in PI.
       What are the advantages of CTS+ Transportation over FILE Transportation...
    Thanks,
    Siva...

    The file transfer will simply export the objects to a TPZ file, allowing you to import on the target system. This requires manual copying and paste of the object and have no further control.
    CTS+ on the other side, allows the environment to maintain transport requests with control over objects audit. For example, an object must be created on DEV, then after being developed it must go to QA system and will only be sent to PROD when this object was approved by the respective team on QA. For more information on CTS+, please check the help page below.

  • How to transfer all types of  files such as exe,html,gif,jpg using TCP?

    Respected Sir / Madam,
    I am doing my project in Network Security using Java. The main aim of my project is to transfer the files between the client and server in a secured way. I have used MD5 algorithm to authenticate the person who are in the client machine. If the user is an authorized user then the user requested file should be transferred from server to client after encrypting the contents using DES algorithm. B4 encrypting the contents I have just transferred the file for checking. But I could transfer only .java and .txt files. From the forum I got the info that if we handle the data in byte format then we can transfer any kind of files. So I tried bu t I couldn't get the entire contents. If I transfer the file then transferred contents is in the form of [B061234 like this only. How can I rectify this problem. I will be grateful if anyone of you help me.  Thank you very much. Here are my codings.

    int nos = fis.available();That method shouldn't be used to determine the file size. Use File.length().
    public void sendMsgs(Socket s,byte b[])

    try
    p = new PrintStream(s.getOutputStream());
    System.out.println("Sending Msg = " + b);
    p.println(b);That writes b.toString() to the socket followed by a newline. That's not what you want to do. Just write the bytes directly to the socket output stream. Then close the socket, or the output stream if you use one.
    dis = new
    DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());Good, but unnecessary.
    ByteArrayInputStream bis = new
    ByteArrayInputStream(s.getInputStream());Bad, and it isn't used anyway.
    // msg = dis.readLine();
    m=bis.readLine().getBytes();Worse. Just read the bytes directly with the DataInputStream and write them to the FileOutputStream. Don't use PrintWriters or Object.toString() anywhere where you expect to recover the original data.
    The issue here is that you're not sending what you think you're sending, and you're not reading it correctly. String is not a container for binary data. Just send and receive the binary data - the bytes - directly.
    And you're reinventing the wheel. What's wrong with SSL?

  • Path between Imovie HD and IDVD

    When I press the "create IDVD project" in IMOVIE HD and expect my movie to be exported to IDVD I get nothing.
    Can any one tell me how to see if the path between the two programs is gone? I am using MAC Leopard 10.5.8,
    Imovie 5.0.2, IDVD 7.0.4. I have used  IDVD in the past but this movie is too large and I needed to break it up.
    I also, saved the file in the movies folder and then used the drag and drop into IDVD but what to with it, way too large for disc.
    I still need to know why I cannot use the documented procedure. Any ideas?

    Hi Jeep,
    welcome to the  board
    iMovie is a video edit app, meant to work with firewire connected miniDV camcorders.
    iDVD is an encoding, authoring and burning app to create videoDVD
    both apps are part of the iLife suite (plus iTunes, for music, iPhoto for photo, iWeb for website creation…), and are meant to work all together with a single click…
    all apps can do other tricks (e.g. importing content of non-copy protected videoDVDs, editing mpegs etc), but as said, they are not meant for/other apps are better to accomplish that.
    "ripping" DVDs is in my understanding to copy content from protected/commercial videoDVDs… that IS possible with a Mac, a few apps are on the market, the Rules of Common Behavior in this forum don't "allow" linking to such apps, because in most areas on this planet ownership, usage, even mentioning (! here in Germany…) such apps is illegal.
    ripping is NOT supported by iDVD
    to copy DVD can be done with every Mac included Disk Utility, to copy just parts you need 3rd party software. (a videoDVD is not meant for editing, it uses a delivery format… socalled "mpeg editing" is better supported on Windows… doesn't fullfill the high quality standards of Apple… )

  • Question about batch transfer limitation

    Just got a brand new iMac 24" 3 days ago and love it. My first Mac.
    I'm interested in creating hunting and family videos so I was reading about the differences between FCP and FCE. The articles say that FCE cannot do a batch transfer for capturing and I want to be sure I know what that means. Last night I hooked my Canon HV30 up and using iMovie it automatically imported all the video from the tape and it appeared to automatically group each different section where I had started/stopped the tape into different sections. That appeared to be a batch import to me so can FCE do the same thing as iMovie or does this mean something else?
    Thanks,
    Gil Jones

    It means something else. Batch capturing means you define sections to capture before you ingest the material. Then go back in give the applications instructions to simply capture the sections you wanted. FCE will capture HDV material very much as iMovie does.

  • How do I transfer ring tones between ipad and non-apple phone using bluetooth

    Can I transfer ring tones between ipad and non-apple phone using bluetooth?

    No. iOS devices do not support file transfers between non-iOS devices over Bluetooth.

  • Diff between file potr and trfc port

    hi all
    what is the differance between file port and trfc port

    Port is the name of the channel by which the SAP system exchanges electronic data with an external system.
    In general, You conect a USB to the system thru a USB port and the system recognises the USB thru the port.
    Similar is in the case of SAP also.
    In SAP you often have to send data between SAP - SAP/ Non -SAP systems. this transfer of data between systems is done thru ports.
    The types of ports available in SAP are,
    TRFC port,
    ABAP port,
    Fike Port,
    XML port,
    HTML port.
    There are various technical methods for implementing this type of communication (port types). The selection of the port type depends on the technical configuration of the external system.
    For example, most EDI subsystems read IDocs in the form of sequential files - that is, the port type "file" is used.
    TRFC is a type of port used when the data being exchanged is Transactional data.
    Data can be transferred between two SAP systems reliably and safely via transactional RFC (tRFC).
    The TRFC was renamed from Asynchronous RFC to Transactional RFC, because asynchronous RFC has another meaning in SAP systems.
    The remote system need not be available at the time when the RFC client program is executing a tRFC. In SAP systems, the tRFC component stores the called RFC function together with the corresponding data in the database, including a unique transaction identifier (TID). This ensures that the called function module executed exactly once in the RFC server system.
    TRFC port is used when we are sending the data which has to be sent quickly, in small packets and when it doesnot need to wait for the reply.
    Also, when we have to send standard data ie., standard Idoc etc, we do it using TRFC port, it doesnot allow to do additions to the data being sent. for that we need to use ABAP port.
    You can goto the tcode we21 and check out the various ports available.

  • Transfer of Goods between Center (2 Steps MM-SD)

    Hi Friends;
    I have a little problem to which I have done several tests and did not have much success to complete the activities related to the transfer of goods between centers using the procedure I describe below:
    - ME21N -> Creation of Purchase for transfer using the category UB (Stock Transport Order);
    - VL10B -> Process documents for Shipping (using Purchase Order);
    - VL02N ->  To Process Delivery  (Picking and deposit);
    - J1B3N -> Issue of the tax document (invoice);
    - MB0A -> Entry of Goods to Purchase Order;
    The problem is that when I am doing the PO (First part of the process) I notify the PO type, in the field I meet the supplier center provider, I meet the item and the center of will receipt the goods. After all information completed on the screens of Purchase Order (ME21N) the system displays the following message.
    u201CNot possible to determine shipping data for material 9999999u201D
    u201CMessage no. 06280u201D
    As this is the beginning all of process, I am not able to continue. I already made several checks which I will describe below, and still am not successful in completing the process.
    u2022     The material is already expanded to the Center Supplier and Receiver;
    u2022     The material is already expanded to SD View, with the sales organization, distribution channel and sector of activity properly;
    u2022     Customer (center) already expanded to the Organization of Sales and Channel Distribution properly;
    u2022     On the table is expanded KNVV you both for the organization's sales center provider for the center as recepitor;
    u2022     On IMG:
        o     It was the assign of the sales organization of the center (Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Set up     
            Transport Order -> Define Shipping Data for Plants);
        o     It  was assigned to the Shipping Points (Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions-> Shipping points and
            Good Receiving Point Determination -> Assign shipping Point). Therefore the u201CShipping Conditionsu201D is properly linking to
            Custumer Data Master and  Loading Group is properly to Goods Master Data.
    Even with all these settings made, I am not having success in the process of creating of PO  and start the procedure for transfer of material between centers and so I ask the help of colleagues to help me find what is still missing or set up in process that can make it flow.
    Beforehand, Thanks a lot.
    Vinicius

    Hi ,
    GOTO IMG -> MM->PURCHASING ->Purchase Order ->Set up Stock Transport Order->Define Shipping Data for Plants-
    here for both receiving and supplying plant give the same sales org , distridution channel and division .
    And in receiving plant maintain the customer no .
    And one more thing do the PO as document type NB (standard order ) , then maintain delivery type NLCC against NB in customizing (GOTO IMG -> MM->PURCHASING ->Purchase Order ->Set up Stock Transport Order ->Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule )

  • Windows Cannot Access Specific Device, Path or File While Using Adobe Reader XI, Version 11.0.06

    Hello,
    Recently, I have been experiencing a minor problem with the Adobe Reader XI Program loaded on my computer.  When clicking the data fields on PDF versions of various forms to enter numerical or text information, a dialogue box with a small white X in a red circle on the left side of the title bar pops open and is titled:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe
    There is another white X in a red circle symbol displayed in the message field of the dialogue box along with the following message:
    Windows cannot access the specific device, path, or file.  You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
    There is also an “OK” Button displayed on the right side of the lower margin of the dialogue box.
    Although the dialogue box is repeatedly displayed whenever I click on a data field, the program still allows me to enter and save the numerical and text information that is entered in each data field.
    My computer is a Hewlett-Packard Envy 23-d034 TouchSmart All-In-One Desktop Personal Computer with a Windows 8.1 Operating System that has all applicable Important and Recommended Windows Updates installed.  The Adobe Reader XI Program is the latest version, Version 11.0.06, and I have confirmed that there are no updates for the program at this time.

  • Batch to Batch Transfer and Tracking

    Question,
    Since Batch to batch material transfer is possible using SAP standard functionality.
    On my floor, the raw material i am consuming is batch managed and causing accounts error and negative stock due to wrong batch no. posting at the time of Co11.
    due to requirement of our customers, our plant must run with proper tracking of each batch, means finish goods to raw material (specific batch) relation should be there in system.
    If I maintain back flush function for BOM components in such a way that I always consume raw material from one batch (xxx) from production S-LOG. what i will do, I will refill that particular batch -xxx by transfer material from batch zzz (by batch to batch transfer) when needed to back flush.
    Back flush will happen always from one batch which will reduce accounts error and negative stock generation.
    Question is, will i be able to track and can built relation of raw material batch zzz and product FG?
    if yes how? if no then what could be the solution for this problem.
    Mr.Daar

    Hi,
    I think you're scenario is going little bit complex by doing transfer postings batch to batch this is very complex you know each time you have to do suppose if you have huge raw materials it leads to complexity any have for this point I can say is
    while transferring the batches from XXX to ZZZ you give reference production order number in the material slip or document header text so that you can track the batches to which production order you have transferred.
    in MSEG table you can trace the consumption of raw materials based on the Production order
    and with 309 movement type you can trace the batch transfers I thing you have to develop a report for this.
