Convert Long Action To Plugin?

Is it possible to convert a highly complex Action that probably contains about1000 instructions into a Plugin? Its virtually impossible to recreate the action one step at a time so Listener can log everything.

X tools has some converters.

Convert photoshop action to applescript?

Hi all. I hope you might be able to help me out. I'm looking for a way to convert photoshop actions i've created to applescript. I can't seem to find any sources to do this. I did find a script to convert actions to javascript, but as i don't have a good working knowledge of JS it's not as helpful as Applescript would be.
Thanks in advance for any help pointing me in the right direction

At the core of an Action is series of executeAction invocations that correspond
to the steps of the Action. This is what the ScriptingListener output
essentially is, as described in the Action Manager section of the PSCS3
Scripting Guide.
There is no Action Manager API for AS. Your only option in AS is to call JS
code, as is described in the Scripting Guide. You can either use the code
generated by the ScriptingListener plugin, or you can use my Action->JavaScript
translation script (which you've already found). To the best of my knowledge,
there are no other solutions if you program in AS.

Convert long to varchar2

Hi there,
I am looking for a convertion, long to varchar2, in a sql statement.
If I run the following query :
select data_default from user_tab_columns
It works fine in sql developper but when I execute it in my PHP code it returns:
Notice: Undefined index: DATA_DEFAULT in /opt/lampp/htdocs/datamodel/index.php on line 64
This issue is due in the case where the columns has null.
So I try with the NVL function:
select nvl(data_default, 'null') from user_tab_columns
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected LONG got CHAR
I found on internet some people are using the substr function but it did not working for me.
select substr(data_default, 1, 2000) from user_tab_columns
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG
Any one has an idea ?
Regards !

See this thread as well you can get an exaple user function
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes

App to convert long voice memos to text

Is anyone aware of an app (on Mac or iPhone) that can convert long (over a couple minutes) dictation to text? Dragon Dictation for iPhone works great, but it only handles recordings up to 30 seconds. It seems like there would at least be some Mac app that could convert longer .m4a voice memo files....?

Sync them in iTunes via the phone Music pane. You'll find this at the bottom of the page:
They will go into your music library and a voice memos playlist will be created.

Problem in converting Long Raw to Varchar2

Hi
I need to analyze the contents of a 'Long Raw ' field to proceed further. In an attempt to do that, using the following code, I could not see the data in a readable format.Kindly Help...
create or replace procedure lr2vc1 (lv_id number) is
c1 long raw;
note_varchar2 varchar2(32000);
begin
select value into c1 from Test_table where id=lv_id; /*value is the Long Raw field*/
note_varchar2 := utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(c1);
insert into lr2vc (prid,lrvalue) values (lv_id, note_varchar2);

Problem while converting Long Raw data to Varchar2

PL/SQL Solution for Converting Long to VarChar2

I recently had to convert a bunch of text stored in Long fields to a new VarChar2(2000) field in the same table.
As you know if you've ever tried, you can't use a basic SQL the update statement will not do this, e.g. update table1 set field2 = field1 (where field2 is VarChar(2000) and field1 is Long) fails as does update table1 set field2 = substr(field1, 1, 2000).
Interestingly PL/SQL's implementation of SubStr does work with Long fields. I was able to put together the following anonymous PL./SQL block to accomplish the task (msgtext is varchar(2000), msgtext2 is Long):
DECLARE
CURSOR message_cur
IS
SELECT ROWID, msgtext, msgtext2
FROM tlrcmmessages
FOR UPDATE;
message_rec message_cur%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN message_cur;
LOOP
FETCH message_cur
INTO message_rec;
EXIT WHEN message_cur%NOTFOUND;
UPDATE tlrcmmessages
SET msgtext = SUBSTR(message_rec.msgtext2, 1, 2000)
WHERE CURRENT OF message_cur;
END LOOP;
CLOSE message_cur;
END;
I hopes this helps others out there in similar circumstances.
Good luck,

Oracle strongly recommends to convert LONG fields into CLOB:

How can I converting long raw in clob on Apex when I'm creating a view?

I need some help. I'm creating a view and I need converting long raw fields in clob, varchar2, or char when I create a view.
Thanks for your help.

What error did you get when using the functions in a SELECT on a view? If that did not work, identify the table the view is based on and write the SELECT statement directly against that table and not the view.
I do not understand, "I try and they are rights".

Existing Actions and Plugins Compatible with Photoshop CS5?

I have actions and plug-in products, and while I've done everything I can to make them future-proof, I'm wondering if any Photoshop CS5 beta testers can speak to whether existing actions and plugins are generally compatible with Photoshop CS5?
Specifically:
Are existing 32 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
Are existing 64 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
Are existing actions (both platforms) proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
I'm anxiously awaiting the go-ahead to download my copy to verify everything, but I'm just trying to get a feel for whether I'll have work to do. I'm hoping for the level of compatibility seen in CS3 and CS4 - all my software worked perfectly with no changes.
Thanks.

I appreciate you all taking the time to answer, but none of you has actually said what DOES happen with your existing actions / plugins and CS5 beta.
I know that experience with one set of actions and plugins doesn't guarantee operation with another, but if, for example, someone actually stated, "all my old plugins failed to work with CS5" or "they all seemed to work okay" then I'd have a better idea of what to expect.
Please keep in mind I've been developing commercial actions since PS6 and plugins since CS2, and all my software works on all 32 bit versions and 64 bit CS4 on Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64, so I'm intimately familiar with what might happen and what should happen. Plus I've programmed them to be quite resilient, and I don't expect any of the CS5 feature changes to break them. What I don't know is whether Adobe has fundamentally altered the plugin interface this time around, or has deprecated any old filters, causing a plugin or action that used to work to fail now. The word "rewrite" has been used to describe CS5, and that has me wondering.
In short, I'm really looking for actual experience with the CS5 beta here.
Wish I could get the CS5 SDK already. I don't understdand why Adobe doesn't release that in advance.
Thanks.

Need to convert long data type to varchar2

I need to convert a long datatype in an existing table to a
varchar2, in either another table or view. I have a 3rd party
application which needs to query the data in the long data type,
but it can "handle" the long.
What is the best way to do this? I tried to make a trigger, but
I must be missing something. Here is the trigger.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "PROD".SV_GET_RTG_COMNT
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON PROD.RELS_RTG_SEQ_COMNT
FOR EACH ROW
WHEN (OLD.rels_rtg_no = NEW.rels_rtg_no)
DECLARE
-- DECLARE VARIABLES
RTG_COMNT_VAR VARCHAR2(32);
RTG_COMNT_LONG LONG;
BEGIN
Select COMNT_TXT into RTG_COMNT_LONG
from rels_rtg_seq_comnt;
RTG_COMNT_VAR := 'TEXT' || substr(RTG_COMNT_LONG,1,32);
-- If INSERTING
Insert into SV_RTG_SEQ_COMNT (print_cd, comnt_no,
seq_no, rtg_no, comnt_txt) values
(:new.print_cd, :new.comnt_no, :new.seq_no, :new.rels_rtg_no,
rtg_comnt_var);
END;
I tried to use the substr command on the comnt_txt in view but
received an invalid datatype error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All of a sudden, I can no longer add any plugins to any channel strips? And when I click on an existing plugin to edit, it disappears off the channel strip?

I am running Logic express 9 on a 2008 Macbook, (non pro). Anyhow, logic has always seemed to work great for me. However, last week I opened up one of many existing projects, (I'm in sample editor). When I went to add a new plugin to one of the channel strips it would not allow me to. Also, if I click on any plugin that already exists on the channel strip it dissapears? The strange thing that also happens weather I click to add a new plugin or click on an already existing plugin, is both the "repeat section" and "crop", buttons from the above menu (in sample editor), the actual buttons become a faded image,(as far as the actual font and images of the buttons). As soon as I am done clicking to add a plugin on the channel strip, both buttons from the menu go back to looking normal like all of the other choices from that menu? I really don't get it? All I want to do is to be able to add plugins as well as edit or change plugins again. Any thoughts as to why I can no longer add any new plugins to any channel strips? And why any existing plugins disappear from the channel strip when I click on it? Why the "repeat section", and "Crop", buttons from the menu above fade in and out when I try clicking on the channel strip is very strange? I don't mind that I just want to be able to add or edit plugins again. I did do some document cleaning up last week as my memory was getting low. I then emptied out my trash bin. I'm hoping I didn't accidentally delete some kind of Logic component? Why can't I add or edit plugins anymore? Anyone ever run across this?
Thanks,
Mike.

Mike,
Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer. Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected. It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

Need to convert long type column to varchar2 type

I got a problem in creating a staging table.. i have to pull out data from database to create data file.. But a column is of type long and has got enter character (chr 10) values in between.. Because of that character i cant able load data to staging table.. some error shows second end character needs.. so that data was not properly into table..
for ex:
08/21/07 14:46:02 MMURPHY
per client mail date is 10/1/07
this data has got enter character (chr 10) after MMURPHY while loading this data to staging.. i got error..
so pls suggest me some solution to create sql loader file using pl/sql procedures..
so that i convert that (chr10) value to some other value..

Try to put this column into function which will be searching for chr(10), and replace it. Create control file like:
colname type "REGEXP_REPLACE(:colname, ...)"

After updating to 5.1, pages no longer lets me convert long, single page (up to 8 1/2 x 50) document to an 8 1/2 x 11 document with many pages.

I have been using pages to create a document that I always export in two ways. 1st, I export a single page document that contains all of the data (sometimes this can go as long as 8 1/2 x 50). I have to do this for web purposes. Next, I duplicate the document, and change the page setup to 8 1/2 x 11, turning it into a document with many pages. This is for printing purposes.
Before upgrading to Pages 5.1, this worked flawlessly. After the upgrade, when I change the document to 8 1/2 x 11, Pages just deletes all of the data after the 11'' mark.
I am trying to make it behave like it did before the upgrade: when I convert the document to 8 1/2 x 11, it just made as many new pages as necessary and didn't delete any of the data.
How can I do this?

Pages 5 is buggy and has had over 100 fetaures removed.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder, use that.

Problem converting long AVI to MOV

I am trying to convert one hour AVI file into a MOV format using Quicktime
PRO on a PC.If I try and convert a short AVI video of less than 5 minutes I
can can convert it and change the settings of both Video and Audio to suit
my specification.If however I try and convert a longer AVI say one hour I
can only set the video characteristics but NO audio at all.The audio
settings area is greyed out and not changeable.
My question is this.Is it possible to convert a long AVI video (say 1 hour)
to a MOV format in Quicktime PRO on a PC and still be able to set the audio
to the required specification?
Thanks Stu
P.S im using QT Pro 7.3

If the audio settings in the export dialog can't be adjusted then the audio codec used in the file isn't supported by QuickTime Pro export.
MPEG-1 is playback only.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert your AVI with MPEG-1 audio.
http://perian.org can also help QuickTime Pro with some codecs used in AVI's.

Is there any way to convert recorded actions into JSX Javascript file?

For photoshop, there's http://ps-scripts.sourceforge.net/xtools.html (scroll down to "ActionFileToJavascript") which can convert recorded photoshop actions into jsx. Is there any such resource for Illustrator?

AppleScript is able to script many things in the GUI.
The problem is it becomes version specific when they move stuff about.
CS6 can evoke some menus but is limited to those with keyboard shortcuts.
CS6 also got action calls added... ( to JS )
No nothing like action manager code exists in AI. ( a big shame )
PS has a plug-in to record your steps...
Giving you access to a whole range of app features beyond the regular DOM.
Only today X has posted that that he's hanging up his boots here...
