ok, please dont laugh at me over my poor scripting skills. i have none and have never programed. ok here is the script i use to make folders
var myFolder = new Folder('/d/Documents and Settings/testing/Desktop/tiff');
if(!myFolder.exists) myFolder.create();
var myFolder = new Folder('/d/Documents and Settings/testing/Desktop/tiff/800med');
if(!myFolder.exists) myFolder.create();
var myFolder = new Folder('/d/Documents and Settings/testing/Desktop/tiff/1333med');
if(!myFolder.exists) myFolder.create();
var myFolder = new Folder('/d/Documents and Settings/testing/Desktop/tiff/large');
if(!myFolder.exists) myFolder.create();
var myFolder = new Folder('/d/Documents and Settings/testing/Desktop/tiff/mls467');
if(!myFolder.exists) myFolder.create();
var myFolder = new Folder('/d/Documents and Settings/testing/Desktop/tiff/mls533');
if(!myFolder.exists) myFolder.create();
var myFolder = new Folder('/d/Documents and Settings/testing/Desktop/tiff/thumb');
if(!myFolder.exists) myFolder.create();
so i hope this helps in the quest to solve my probs.

Also the path itself looks strange as Documents and Settings is usually on drive C also the desktop is normally on drive C.
This path would normally be:
var myFolder = new Folder("~/Desktop/tiff"');

Droplets not working PS CS4

I have created droplets for Noiseware actions in PS CS4. When I try to run the action either by dropping images directly onto the droplet on the desktop, or by trying an export action from Lightroom (which is what I really want to do), I get a Microsoft Windows pop up box with the message "Adobe Photoshop Droplet has stopped working".
I have also tried changing the compatibility of the droplet to run as administrator, I then get a different error message, which says, "Droplet couldn't communicate with Photoshop".
Have also tried creating droplets for other simple actions other than Noiseware, with the same results.
Any advice much appreciated.

I have have created a droplet in Ps5, and when I tried running it in Lr3 and I kept prompted with a dialog box stating "droplet couldn't communicate with photoshop" after googling for a while I clicked on a link that pointed me to this forums, after reading OscylO and some of the above comments, I came out with a more detailed solution below:
After creating the droplet ".exe" file, for example MyPsDroplet.exe
Locate the droplet file I have just created with Windows Explorer
Right-click on that file and select "Properties"
A dialog box will appear with the title MyPsDroplet.exe
Checks the checkbox that stated "Run this program as an administrator" and then the "OK" button (as highlighted below)
And when I run my droplet again (made sure that Ps is not running or it must "Run as administrator"), the "User Account Control" dialog box will appear, asking my permission if it is to continue executing my MyPsDroplet.exe droplet, and I simply click on the "Yes" button, and "Wah-La!" my droplet is working again, in Windows 7 with UAC enabled.

Clipping paths not working in CS4 on Windows

I have an image of a dohnut on a plate. I want a clippint path around the dohnut and one in the dohnut hole. Using the option icons does not give me a result of just a dohnut for placement over a color or image background in an Indesign page. I've tried this on Mac and it works just fine. What's the problem with my Photoshop CS4 on Windows?
TIA

Adendum.
Ok. It works, but you have to selected the icon on the far right before drawing the first path, or select the paths with paths selection tool/direct selection tool, and then click the right icon. Otherwiswe the result is inverted - you get the image area outside the large clipping and the area inside the small clipping when place over color or image on a page.
If I use the magic wand to select the area around and inside the doughnut and choose Make Selection... in the Paths pallet, then the function works regardless of what paths icon is initially selected.
Hmmm.

Can not create a file under \window\system32 folder

How do I create a folder in \windows\system32 in x64 machine through java code?
Creating a file/folder under \windows\system32 fails and java creates a folder in \windows\syswow64 folder.
pls see the code attached for example.
My client wants to create a folder using my application.
I dont want to use any native code suggested by microsoft. You can see in the following link

Subdivisions not visible in CS4 PHotoshop Extended

I hav been using CS3 without a problem - today I starting testing CS4 and found that I could not get the subdivision lines to display when I Show> Grid. The main grid displays fine - but no matter what I do, I cant get the subdivision lines to display.
I have the grid set to .25 inch and Subdivisions set to 6.
The same file displays the grid and subdivisions in CS3 Photoshop so I'm pretty sure it's not the file..
Any ideas here??

Yes I tried turning off OpenGL - but then something even weirder happened.... I had the grid set to .25 and the subdivisions to 2 and the document grid lines switched to GRID lines at .14999... I reopened the preferences and saw that the grid setting had changed on its own to this value.... I was able to reset it back to .25, but then as before I was only getting 4 gridlines per inch with no sudivisions showing....
I use photoshop among other things to create floorplans - the grid lines and subdivisions are critical for me to work in scale....
Grid and subdivision lines are showing correctly when i open the same document in CS3

Firefox 4 recently downloaded will not create a dial up window. The only way I can get it to work is by establishing a connection via oulook. Firfox then works fine. How do I get Firefox 4 to reqest a dial up window

Since we downloaded Firefox 4 we have only been able to connect to the internet by using the dial up of outlook. Once connected in this way Firefox 4 works fine.
We have zone alarm firewall and NOD32 antivirus.

I have now managed to get AX working on my BT home hub. I took my second non-working unit back to Apple in Solihull and got them to test it in store. They agreed it wasn't working. They then tested another unit in store and that did work so I brought that home. It would be worth you doing the same as I got a 10% discount off my next purchase of anything at Apple for my troubles.
I set my homehub security to None (from WEP - in homehub manager/advanced/wireless/security), plugged in my AX to homehub using an ethernet cable, then ran Airport utility and after a couple of runs it finally picked it up. I was able to set the configurations I wanted and 24 hours later it is still working. I set my homehub security settings back to WEP as soon as the AX was configured.
I also installed airport utility on my son's windows laptop and that is now able to print wirelessly as well. So, finally a result.
I would suggest you take your unit back to where you bought it from and get them to test it. If they offer you another one ask for a Mac genius
to test it in store for you first. Also ask them to run through the installation procedure with you. Don't forget to ask for something for your troubles:)
Hope that helps,

Install could not create the folder /private/tmp/install teamviewer

While trying to install teamview I receive the follow message "Installer could not create folder /private/tmp/install teamviewer" does anyone have a solution on what i may be doing wrong.

While trying to install teamview I receive the follow message "Installer could not create folder /private/tmp/install teamviewer" does anyone have a solution on what i may be doing wrong.
The Unix /tmp directory (/tmp is a symlink to /private/tmp) is suppose to allow full access to everyone. It is a place for a process to create temporary files and directories.
So if you cannot create a file or directory there, I would wonder if it has the correct permissions. I have:
Mavericks: drwxrwxrwt 17 root wheel - 578 Oct 17 20:40 /private/tmp/
Lion: drwxrwxrwt 11 root wheel - 374 Oct 17 20:41 /private/tmp/
Leopard: drwxrwxrwt 8 root wheel - 272 Oct 17 08:46 /private/tmp/
Where d is for directory. rwxrwxrwx says user, group, and other all have read, write, and directory search permissions. t says ONLY the owner of a file may delete that file from the directory. And since I have the same permissions on 3 different flavors of Mac OS X, that is what I expect you should see.
etresoft, I do not know why ptcharlotte wants to install TeamViewer.com, but I use it to remotely access a Mac I control when getting across home NAT routers is being a pain. Or in my Mom's case, I use it as a backup, in case one of my relatives decides to be helpful and ends up disabling my ssh port forwarding into my Mom's iMac (I'm 300 miles away, so having TeamViewer.com as a backup can save me a long drive to Mom's, or as always seems to happen, when I'm on vacation a 1,000+ miles away ).

Can't create folder when saving docs; can create on desktop but can't move

This is boggling. When I choose "save" or "save as" for the first time in Word or Excel, and then "create new folder," it asks me to name the folder, and then tells me it can't create it. The error simply says "Could not create folder." So I created a new folder on the desktop, which worked fine, but when I tried to drag it into the folder I wanted it to live in, I got a pop-up that said "You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long for the destination."
1) There is only one item - an empty folder.
2) The name of the folder is "blah" -- which is in no way too long.
What the heck is happening? This only started today.

I just went through your instructions, and the DU window says that it found a bunch of things that need repairing, but won't repair them.
??? What on earth is going on? Here's the text that was in the details window:

Creating pdf file from excel worksheet and save file in a macro created folder.

Hi I have 3 worksheets and I want to conditionally convert them into a pdf file and than save said file into a folder that the macro will create if not already existing and name it with content of cell A1. So my question is if it is possible to do that with
the following program?
Thanks.

Error 1401 when installing cs4 on windows 8

I'm getting this error when installing Adobe Creative Suite 4
Error 1603. Error 1401.Could not create key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

thank you for sending the links, but I already tried all of the solutions in the posted article, before reaching out in this forum. Does anybody have any other suggestions? I'm out of ideas.

Searching through notes I added in photoshop

Because of the fact that I want to start a library of photographs with some notes I added in Photoshop. Is it possible to search through the notes I added in Photoshop in Adobe Lightroom.

Unfortunately, LR does not read notes created by the Photoshop Notes Tool.
I did a little investigation, and it appears that these notes are saved in PSDs and TIFFs in a proprietary format, rather than industry standard metadata that could be read by other tools. The only other applications I found that can read the notes is Acrobat and Reader. They can read PDFs created by Photoshop and display the embedded notes, and they can export new notes back into Photoshop, again in proprietary format. I didn't find anyone who had reverse-engineered the format, but perhaps someone else here knows better.
Going forward, if you want tools other than Photoshop to be able to read your annotations, you're better off using industry-standard metadata fields, such as title, caption, or user comment.

Droplets not working :( LR, Photoshop CS4, Windows 7

Hi all,
I'm trying to get my computer back to how it was before I installed Windows 7 and there's one thing I can't get working: my sharpen droplets, created in CS4.
Before they would all work (in LR2 and LR3beta) but now they won't work.
I've tried this process:
1.) Open the Control Panel / User Accounts / Change User Account Control settings
2.) Drop the slider bar all the way to the bottom to "Never Notify"
3.) Open Photoshop and create your droplets
4.) Right-click on each droplet and select "Properties"
5.) Click on the "Compatibility" tab
6.) Check the "Run this program as an administrator" box
7.) Click "Change settings for all users"
8.) Check the other "Run this program as an administrator" box
9.) "OK" to exit both windows
10) Go back to the Control Panel / User Accounts / Change User Account Control settings
11.) Slide the bar back to where you had your security settings (usually at the default setting)
11) Restart Photoshop
However, while it will now at least RUN the droplet from within LR (ie. it will boot Photoshop), it now comes up with an error "feather command not available" while trying to run it. I don't even use feather in the actio! All it does is a duplicate layer smart sharpen, convert to profile, a save and a close.
Does anyone have any idea? It's SO annoying...
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Phil

That did it! Thanks so much! I thought I had tried that already, but it's definitely working now.
