Default Action/Effect in an Action Set in PSE5

I have a Photoshop action set that contains a "main" action that performs some functionality and calls a bunch of "sub" actions. The main action is listed first in the set and is automatically picked up as the default action and executes successfully when installed into PSE6, PSE7 & PSE8 and also works as expected in a German version of PSE5 but in an English version of PSE5, somehow the second action (ie a "sub" action) is being executed rather than the first. Is there any way of configuring the default action or forcing PSE5 to recognize the first action as the action to run? If not, does anyone know what algorithm PSE uses to determine the action to run? The action being run isn't first (or last) alphabetically nor positioned first (or last) in the action set. Any thoughts/assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I think I confused things by bringing up the German version... The action was created in a standard English version of PS CS2 then adjusted and resaved in a standard English version of PS7. It was then packaged and tested in English (and non-English) versions of CS3, CS4, CS5, PSE6, PSE7 & PSE8 without any issues. It was also tested in a German version of PSE5 and worked without any concerns but when tested in 2 different standard English versions of PSE5, it appears that the second action in the action set is the one that is being recognized and run, rather than the first action in the set. The first action is named as "Make Patterned Papers" and the other 20 or so actions are named as "code -- (reference number)" in a lame attempt to slightly obscure the functionality from the PS users. The first "code -- (reference number)" action listed after the "Make Patterned Papers" is the one that is being picked up by PSE5 as the action to run. The actions are not listed in alpha/numeric order and the action that is being picked up by PSE5 is not the first alphabetically either. I tried copying all of the actions to a new action set and using this instead, but had the same result.

How to set the default action of slide switch to auto-rotate

Is there a way to set the default action of the slide switch to auto-rotate during the OS loading instead of volume setting?

You change the function of the side switch with Settings -> General -> Use side switch to:
I don't know what you mean by, "during the OS loading".

Delete Set Default Action

Would be nice to see a feature introduced in the preferences to set the default action of the delete button, I personally would like it permanently set to "Delete from Disk" and not "Remove"

Dear StuDerby,
thank you very much indeed for your helpful reply!! You have again helped me much with your constructive suggestions and your obviously profound JDBC knowledge.
So what you suggest is:
String deleteParameter="";
resultSetImportedKeys = DataBaseMetaData.getImportedKeys(null, null, tableName);
while(resultSetImportedKeys.next()) {
   String deleteRule = resultSetImportedKeys.getString(11);
   switch (java.lang.Integer.parseInt(deleteRule.trim())) {
      case (DataBaseMetaData.importedKeyCascade): deleteParameter="ON DELETE CASCADE"; break;
      case (DataBaseMetaData.importedKeyRestrict): deleteParameter="ON DELETE RESTRICT"; break;
      case (DataBaseMetaData.importedKeySetDefault): deleteParameter="ON DELETE SET DEFAULT"; break;
      case (DataBaseMetaData.importedKeySetNull): deleteParameter="ON DELETE SET NULL"; break;
      case (DataBaseMetaData.importedKeyNoAction): deleteParameter="ON DELETE NO ACTION"; break;
      default: deleteParameter="ON DELETE NO ACTION"; break;
}But what are importedKeyInitiallyDeferred, importedKeyInitiallyImmediate, and importedKeyNotDeferrable for?

Default actions folder in Photoshop CS6

I installed Photoshop CS6 on my iMac and MacBook. The MacBook has a "Default Actions" folder in the actions panel with 13 default actions. This folder did not appear on my iMac following install. However, my iMac has several image and text effect actions installed that did not install on my iMac. Would like to have the Default Actions on my iMac and text and image effect actions on my MacBook. Not sure how to do this.

I'm a PC user ther are some differences between PC and the Mac but not that much
Actions are savet in sets and han File name .atn extentsios thes can be saved and loaded from any folder on you system Photoshop install some action step in its install tree

Default actions disappearing

I have ALL the default audio actions set including "Buddy becomes available" and "Message Received" plus the corresponding sounds. The problem is that half the time, the actions are not set for my buddies. SOme will have the actions and for others the actions will be turned off. Now, I just noticed that ALL the actions are off for ALL my buddies. I have the corresponding actions set in my preferences, but for some reason that doesn't turn on the actions for individual buddies. This is really starting to get annoying as the sound is what tells me I have a new message since most of the times I'm surfing away in Safari or working in Final Cut and thus I don't have a place to display all my instant messaging windows while I work.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Brian,
Ok. In iChat > Preferences > Alerts are the global settings for all alerts for all Buddies.
You can Get Info (Highlight a Buddya the Apple + i together for others) and set Actions for each individual in turn.
If the Globas are set then System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effect > Alert volume controls the level at which they are played in conjunction with the system volume (Output)
Both Alert and Individual Actions are stored in com.apple.iChat.plist and deleting it clears what was set and returns everything to default.
Do other System Alert sounds work ?
If they do not - then delete com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist from /Libary/Preferences (this is the folder caller Library at the top level of your Hardrive).

How to change default action "alarm" for all signatures ?

My question belongs to a Cisco 1712 (128 MB, IOS 12.3T, SDM 2.5 installed):
I'm trying to change the default action "alarm" to "alarm,reset,drop" for all signatures of my custom set.
However doing so via SDM fails. First, it appears as being done correctly, but after compiling the signatures again, the default values are back there (in the same sense, I was unable to delete signatures, works just using the CLI).
I followed the instructions at cisco.com:
router(config)#ip ips signature-definition
router(config-sigdef)#signature 6130 10
router(config-sigdef-sig)#engine
router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action produce-alert
router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action deny-packet-inline
router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action reset-tcp-connection
router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#exit
However ip ips signature-definition is not understood by the router, so the procedure fails.
Can you please assist me ?

You can use IOS command-line interface (CLI) to change signature actions for one signature or a group of signatures based on signature categories. The following example shows how to change signature action to alert, drop and reset for signature 6130 with subsig ID of 10.
router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
router(config)#ip ips signature-definition
router(config-sigdef)#signature 6130 10
router(config-sigdef-sig)#engine
router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action produce-alert
router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action deny-packet-inline
router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action reset-tcp-connection
router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#exit
router(config-sigdef-sig)#exit
router(config-sigdef)#exit
Do you want to accept these changes? [confirm]y
router(config)#

Can an action set the dimension of the crop and put in the center of the image?

Hi

or should i need a script?
i mean for example i taken many photos about 20mp mega pixel
i would like to run a script or an action that set the height & length and set the crop in the center of the image
thanks

i have cs6 but i haven't in the action option conditional actions

you know cs6 starts with histogram in colors mode
I have a hard time with English even though it may native language. I'm having some problem with what you wrote.
Yes cs6 does not have what Adobe calls conditional actions they put into CC. That feature more or less an IF statement condition on some document attributes. Like if document width is greater then document height play action landscape else play action portrait.   With CS6 you need to write one line script to use in actions. Most of the utility scripts I wrote for use in actions are more complex then a simple if statement.
The way you record scripts is PS is be using Adobe Scriptlistener Plug-in when installed the plug-in records everything you do that can be recorded into two log files one in JavaScript and the other in VBS. The code generated works by passing parameters to Adobe Photoshop's Action Manager. To make scripts toy need to extract the steps you need from one of the log files.    However some thing you can do in Photoshop can not be recorded. And while your right that the scriptlistener plug-in does not record anything for setting the histograms to RGB channel or Luminosity channel your wrong when you write the Action Recorder can do it.
However scripts can get the histograms channel data. I have never process a histogram in a script however there is a sample Photoshop Histogram in the Photoshop javascripting guide. That creates a text graph log.

Default Action type when hire internal employee

Dear all,
How to set Default Action type when hire internal employee?
Thanks,

Hi,
May be that. When i transfer applicant that is hired internal, the action type is default Reentry into company. So how to change this?
Edited by: Quang Le Vinh on Nov 7, 2009 2:54 AM

With per-message S/MIME enabled, the default action when replying to an encrypted message is to send that reply unencrypted. Causes users to accidentally send originally encrypted content, back unencrypted.

This seems counter-intuitive, are we doing something wrong or is this working as expected?
When we have per-message S/MIME enabled on an iOS 8 device. Everything works as expected and we have the ability to select when you are sending an email whether that email should be encrypted or not, but i've noticed that, when you receive an email encrypted with your S/MIME cert, read that email on your iOS8 device with per-message S/MIME enabled, and reply to, or forward, that message, the default action is to send that reply, or forward, unencrypted UNLESS you manually re-tap the little padlock button to re-encrypt the message.
This seems broken. I would imagine we would want the default action when replying or forwarding that encrypted message to be an encrypted reply or forward so as to keep the encryption intact. I can't think of a time when you would actually want to send an unencrypted reply to an encrypted message, as doing so would send the originally encrypted content back, as unencrypted text therefore negating the point of ever encrypting it in the first place.
I know we can set the iOS device to by default send ALL email as encrypted, but that's overkill. Our users probably only get 1 or 2 encrypted emails a week, but when they do get those encrypted email we would want their replies and forwards to those email to also remain encrypted, and not open up the chance of one of these users forgetting to re-check the padlock button thus accidentally sending the originally encrypted content, out as an unencrypted message.
Is this working as expected or are we doing something wrong?

Hi,
Thank you for your clarification.
Yes, it seems you have installed all the updates for the Outlook.
“Testing on a good computer” is a method to narrow down whether the cause is related a specific computer.
For debugging tool, I think we can take a look at:
1. RPCTrace log
2. Process Monitor
For RPCTrace log, it’s not that easy to capture. You must firstly replace some Outlook dll files before you can capture the log. Even more, the dll files can vary if the Outlook
SP versions are different. So, It’s recommend to contact a Microsoft Support to capture and analyze the trace log.

Delete picture default action

Hello,
is there any way to put Remove from disk as default action when hitting del and deleting a picture ("remove" from LR catalog is normally set as default). Lightroom 4 on Windows 7 OS.
Thanks

You must be doing this from a collection.
Delete works differently when you are in a collection or when you are viewing photos in a folder.
From the Help Menu:
Remove photos from catalogs
Select one or more photos in the Grid view, or select a single photo in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view in the Library module.
Do one of the following:
Press the Backspace key (Windows) or Delete key (Mac OS).
Choose Photo > Delete Photo(s).
Note: When viewing a collection, pressing the Backspace key (Windows) or Delete key (Mac OS) removes the selected photo(s) from the collection, not from the catalog, and no Confirm dialog box appears. To remove a photo from a collection as well as from the catalog, select the photo and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Delete (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift+Delete (Mac OS). See Remove photos from a collection.
In the Confirm dialog box, click one of the following:
Remove
Removes photos from the catalog but doesn’t send them to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac OS).
Delete From Disk
Removes photos from the catalog and sends them to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac OS).
If more than one photo is selected in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, only the active photo is deleted.
Note: Selecting photos and pressing the Delete key (Windows) or Forward Delete key (Mac OS, full-size keyboards only) also removes photos from the catalog but doesn’t send them to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac OS).

I cannot find any reference in the Help files for how to do this. Can anyone help with this?

Regarding JSF Default action problem in IE

Hi,
I am using Jsf:Default action inside my submit button.In my form I have row of two buttons submit and reset.When I use my tab focus on reset button and when I am clicking enter submit default action is getting fired rather reset action.More over if I am using spacebar after tab focus reset button is called as expected.The problem identified is only with IE browsers
In case of Mozilla,default action is overridden by tab focus action and working properly.
Please advise me how to solve this issue in IE
Note:The j4j:defaultAction custom component included in the j4j tag libraries allows you to define the default action for a form by adding <j4j:defaultAction /> as a child tag to the commandButton tag.

Edited by: Ravishankar_R on Mar 24, 2010 12:09 AM

Amit,
Thanks for your answer. I fixed it using javascript .First I got all the buttons in the DOM and did a check to find if there is any current focus using document.activeElement.type="button" else to go with default submit action.
Thanks,
Ravi

Windows Client MP is using the default action account to write to the Data Warehouse

Hi,
I have recently installed SCOM 2012R2, and am in the process of migrating everthing from SCOM 2007R2.
Just after I installed the Windows Client MP (version 6.0.7250.0), I started getting this Event 11852:
OleDb Module encountered a failure 0x80004005 during execution and will post it as output data item. Unspecified error
: Cannot open database "OperationsManagerDW" requested by the login. The login failed.
Workflow name: Microsoft.Windows.Client.Win7.ComputerGroup.MemoryTrendsRAM
Instance name: Microsoft System Center Data Warehouse
Instance ID: {16781F33-F72D-033C-1DF4-65A2AFF32CA3}
Management group: 2012SCOMDEV
This is happening every 7 days and only happening on the Win7 Management pack. I checked the DW logs and found that it was using the default action acount (SCOM ACTION)to send to the DW. This account doesn't have access to the DW DB.
I assume it should be using the Data Warehouse action account. This is how the acount is setup
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong here? I have not had to touch the permissions for any of the other Management packs. the rest of them just work.
