Finder Rename only goes one layer deep

I have set up an automator application that will search for files with a slash in them and change that slash to a dash, the problem is it does not search multiple layers deep. How do I get the automator to rename files and folders that are multiple layers deep?

there are lots and lost of ready made [renamers|http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?starget=mu&keywords=rename&arch=a ll&os=macosx}]. No need to use automator. Try Renamer4Mac 3.2 (1st on the list). I think it has the recursive rename feature. I'm sure many other renamers do.

Database Object Dependencies - only goes one level deep

I've run the Database Object Dependencies report and it appears that the report only shows the top level dependencies and not lower level ones. Am I running this report incorrectly or is there something I'm missing.
For example, it displays the tables and views correctly but does not show any triggers that have been created for a specific table. Additionally, I didn't see any references to database links being used.
version: 3.1.1.00.09
thanks

John,
The report shows the immediate dependencies for the anonymous blocks and similar code snippets contained within the application components. It's just like if you did this:
create table footab (n1 number)
create trigger footrig before insert on footab for each row begin null; end;
create or replace procedure fooproc
as
begin
for c1 in (select n1 from footab) loop
null;
end loop;
end;
SQL> select referenced_name from all_dependencies where name='FOOPROC'
2 /
REFERENCED_NAME
SYS_STUB_FOR_PURITY_ANALYSIS
STANDARD
FOOTAB
SQL>
The table FOOTAB is the only "real" object that the procedure FOOPROC has a dependency on. No mention of the trigger on the table.
Additionally, I didn't see any references to database links being used.Yes, that would be a possible improvement to the report.

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I can't make any changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?

Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.

CS5 problem Adjustment layers only affect one layer instead of all

I am getting this problem with Photoshop CS5 I think one of the settings got changed by accident but for some reason I cannot get any of the adjustment layers Levels,Curves etc to affect all layers under them. Instead it just changes the brightness of one layer only which is the one just below the adjustment layer but not all of the others. I use Photoshop for Digital art and I was all of the layers under the adjustment to change the look of the full image instead of just one layer. Is there any way of fixing this problem? I dont know what to do

I think I know what the problem may be:
When you're adding a new adjustment layer the following checkbox is coming on by default:
You probably changed the default for this. Here's how to change it back:
Make the Adjustments panel visible by clicking the Window - Adjustments menu.
Click the little fly-out menu icon at the upper-right.
Clear the Clip To Layer checkbox.

Saved PSD file shows only as one layer

I used to use Photohop CS2. I have plenty of files all with layers. I am no longer able to access those files because I don't have Photoshop any longer. I am also not able to purchase the latest Photoshop. I have tried loading the files in Gimp as well as using Xnview to try to convert the file into anything usable, but both programs show the files as possessing only one layer even though I am opening the PSD full file which actually does have all the layers.
Is there any way for me to retrieve or ever use these files again, or will the only way I have to access them be to purchase the latest version of Photoshop?
Thanks.

Did you ever read my reply in post #5?
My suggestion would be to download a trial version of Photoshop, whatever runs on your machine, and use the Image Processor in Photoshop to batch convert all your files as TIFFs before the 30-day trial period is over.

Making an adjustment layer only affect one layer

How is this done? Whenever I select an adjustment layer when I'm on an existing layer, I think it's going to link itself to that layer but it doesn't. How can I make an adjustment layer only affect the one beneath it, or even link it to it?

- Hold option and click between the two layers (your cursor will change shape)
- Have the adjustment layer active and create a clipping mask (command-option-g)
- Put both layers in a group and change the group blending mode to normal
The first two are the same way to get a clipping mask. More about them here:

Ethernet linked Macs Only going One way?

Simple question:
I have an Emac and a G3 Pbook linked with an ethernet cable. From the Emac, my pbook shows up under network. I click on the name of the pbook, it asks to connect, and boom, Done.
On the Pbook though, the emac does NOT show up under network, but I have to use the Go to server and (with the ip addess number) and click connect... then no problem...
How do I get the emac to show up in Network like my pbook does on the emac?
Am I explaining this well?
Thanks
Wayne

You explained it fine.
I get similar issues with my ibook connected wirelessly. It doesn't always show up in the network list. So instead, all I do is CMD+K to bring up the 'connect to' window, choose the ibook's Bonjour name from favourites and away I go.

How to make a script treat only tables of one layer?

Hi guys
Could anyone point the way to performing the below code only on one layer in Indesign CS2?
I also need to treat tables on "layer1" only.
with(app.activeDocument){
for( storyIndex = 0; storyIndex < stories.length; storyIndex++)
            var myStory = stories.item( storyIndex );
            for (tableIndex = 0; tableIndex < myStory.tables.length; tableIndex++)
                //do things here
This works on the whole document but how can I ask Indesign to treat only tables in "layer1". The layer object does not contain the story object, so I cant adjust the "with" statement above.
Basically what I need to do is untag all XMLelements within a table of layer but i have given the obove code for simplicity.
Can anyone guide me on this?
Thanks
Nadia

CS2, huh? If you have not already, you should budget for an upgrade to CS5.5 (or better yet, CS5 right now and get the free CS5.5 upgrade,so you have both, assuming that offer is still outstanding).
Generally using with is discouraged. It makes it hard to tell what's really going on in your program and is considered bad style [at least by me]. Better to use either a temporary variable or app.activeDocument.stories explicitly.
Stories do not themselves have a concept of a layer, because they are composed of textFrames and those could be on different layers.
But let's assume that you care about the layer of the first textFrame in each story.
Then:
var
stories = app.activeDocument.stories,
storyIndex, myStory,
tableIndex;
for (storyIndex = 0; storyIndex < stories.length; storyIndex++) {
myStory = stories[storyIndex];
if (myStory.textFrames[0].itemLayer.name === 'layer1') {
    for (tableIndex = 0;
         tableIndex < myStory.tables.length;
         tableIndex++
      //do things here
(I also use stories[15] instead of stories.item(15) and declare all vars at the top.)

Photoshop elements 10 animated gifs show one layer only

I don't like this new version of photoshop elements (photoshop elements 10). When I try to edit an animated gif file, it says I can only view one layer and the rest will be lost. Why is this?

Known issue. This is actually because Photoshop CSx used a GIF plug-in that didn't support opening GIF files as layers. That same plug-in was sent over to PSE in version 9. You can get the plug-in from earlier versions to fix this:

How can I edit separate layers in a psd file that was saved as only one layer?

A designer provided me with a finished design and provided the psd, eps and ai files. I'd like to make some minor changes in PS and would like to access individual layers - e.g. the text, background, etc. When I open the psd file, however, it only has one layer. how do I break out the original layers so that I can edit them?

You can't. Once it's been flattened, you can't unflatten it. Talk to your designer: he/she will most likely have the unflattened version available.

I sent a file to a friend and he can view one layer?

I'm using a free trial version of illustrator and it has multiple layers. When I send it to a friend to open, he can only view one layer.
Wondering what could be the issue?

kkalbat,
Is it the same version?
If not, what happens if you downsave, Save a Copy choosing the lower version?
If you have a higher version, your friend is most likely looking at the PDF part.

Replace one channel by another on only one layer, leaving the others intact?

Hello. In a CMYK image, I need to turn on only one layer one channel completely into another, while the others remain intact. The M channel (the M on that layer) contains information, but I can't print M in this place. I want to change it into an equal amount of K (or into C, in the present case, or even into a mixture of the two). I know how to do this to an entire image (change into greyscale, duotone or whatever may apply). But since I need this to apply to only one (or a selection of) layer(s), leaving all others intact, this is not an option here. I'm sure there's a way to achive this, but I can't find it. Any advice would be much appreciated.

bustamant wrote:
hello, thanks for your replies. As far as I understand, Channel Mixer (i.e., an Adjustment Layer containing a Channel Mixer applied to the layer in question) allows me to reduce one channel to zero,
You are completely correct up to here...
Then choose K as the desired output channel at the top of the palette and slide the M (source) slider to the desired value. You can choose more output channels by going to each output channel in turn.
The way it works is slightly confusing at first, but in a nutshell, you choose your output channel first, then mixture of sources. Then move to another output channel and the sources will be at the default position for THAT output channel only. Each channel has a set of source channels assigned to it.
Default; black output channel = 100% black source, 0% CMY
So your example is black output = 100% black source plus 100% mag source (although I expect you are going to change black source to 0)
AND magenta output = 0% Magenta 0% CYK source (no mag output at all)

Why does a my layered Illustrator file open with only one layer, when opened by someone else?

I am using CS6, as is the other user. When they open the file in Illustrator all the artwork is on one layer, even though the original file has numerous layers, and opens with these layers when I open it even now.
I have never come across this problem before in all the years I have used Illustrator and have had no joy when trying to search for this problem.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated as it is confusing us!
Thank you.

Hi Mike, Wade & Larry,
Thank you so much for your replies.
Since I posted this issue, I was later informed that the other user is infact opening my files with CS5 and so a quick solution to this was saving it down to a previous version! Sorry for the confusion!
This problem then becomes clear that it was a version error, but I have always had an error message come up if I try to open something that was created in a newer verion - is this no longer the case?
I have been assured no pop up messages appear when opening the file which I find odd, and also that this layer compression has only just started happening even though many files have been back and forth previously.
A little mystery! At least for now it is all working ok again
Thank you all very much, greatly appreciated.

Using adjustment layers to only one layer

I know how to use an adjustment layer - it goes directly over the layer I'm editing and I'm able to edit the colour (such as hue etc). The trouble is, anything below that adjustment layer then gets affected. Is there any way I am able to make this adjustment layer exclusive to a partuclar layer?
Ideally then in that sitation I'd be able to have a bitmap layer using a vector mask (for example, a cut out tree) and then using an adjustment layer to change the colour of the tree.
Hope I've explained it well enough, it's a bit confusing.
Thanks.

I'm new to CS5, but find that if I create an adjustment layer from the "Adjustments" window I automatically get the chain link icon in the layers window showing the two layers linked, then the adjustment only affects the layer below. However, if you use Layer|New Adjustment Layer|Levels (for example) then you have the option to use previous layer as a clipping mask if you tick that box it is linked just to the previous layer, left unchecked it affects all layers below.

Finder only shows one application at a time...

Hi all,
Hopefully someone can shed light on my dilemma.
After a system crash today I'm having problems in the Finder.
I can only have one application visible on screen at a time.
When I click the Desktop the Finder and any windows there come forward and the previous application is hidden.
If I'm in Safari and click the iCal icon in the Dock iCal comes forward and Safari is hidden.
Icons on the desktop are visible at all times and can be clicked / opened etc.
The only way to have other app windows on screen is to go to the Application Menu and choose "Show All". Clicking a window in another application hides everything again.
Hide "App Name" / Hide Others are both greyed out and I can't use Cmd-H to hide an app either.
I've deleted prefs for everything I can think of (Desktop, Dock, Finder) and opened most com.apple. prefs up to find a flag that's been tripped somewhere but to no avail.
It's acting like the old Mac OS where you could have this as an option in the General Settings Control Panel (from memory...)
Safe Boot didn't help whilst logging into my other users show none of the symptoms. Obviously It's something in my log in that is causing the problem but I don't know where else to look!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Michael
