You can use fscommand("exec") to run a batch file to open an exe - but exe is a Windows executable, not for Mac OS

Needed: Script for exporting iPhoto albums into a file structure

Hello all! I have no experience with AppleScript, but I heard it should be possible to write a script which helps to copy/export a iPhoto album structure into an according directory structure. Does anybody already have such a script?
Thx for any information on that!

Thomas,
I have created an AppleScript along with the TextCommands OSAX that duplicates all of the albums in iPhoto to a folder called "Albums" on the desktop. It is quite slow because of the need to open an Info window in Finder to get the path to the original photo but gets the job done.
If you wish it could be modified to provide an ability to select individual albums for duplication. Let me know if you are interested in the latter. I am also seeing whether the album structure can be created directly in a burn folder so that CDs/DVDs can be rapidly burned.
TextCommands is donationware and available at the following location:
http://osaxen.com/files/textcommands1.0.1.html
and should be placed in the following location for the AppleScript to see it:
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions/

property PathToPictures : path to pictures folder as string

I have a question. I have about 2000 files (pdf), which I need move to specific directories and subdirectories, which are based on csv file.
Csv is looking like this:
filename;directoryname;subdirectoryname;subdirectoryname;.......etc.
I have a script for creating directories with subdirectories from csv file, but I need this script for moving files to this directories.....
Thanks a lot for every help.
Best Regards

private function snapshotLastFrame():void
gotoAndStop( this.totalFrames );

_bitmap                              = new Bitmap( _bitmapData );
_bitmapData.draw ( stage );

            this.fileReference = new FileReference();
            this.fileReference.save( this.jpgEncoder.encode( bitmapData ), fileName + ".jpg" );
Keep in mind that you need a few extra libraries to be able to create a jpeg.. (AS3CoreLib) can be found at googleCode.

Need script for exporting images to EPS

I need to write a script to export a whole bunch of files from Indesign CS3 to EPS files. Right now we do them one at a time...here are the steps we take that we would need included in the script...
Select all (Control A), ungroup, convert to outlines (control-shift O), export (need to be able to say black or white or RGB) and then close the file without saving.
and if there was anyway to loop this script for 20 files at a time that would be really helpful.
Can any help or direct me to a website that can help.
Thanks!
Marissa

Need Script for Videopodcast.

Looking for Script for iTunes, to extract audio segment from Vide podcast and save it for iPod Nano. can' find it in dougscripts.com/iTunes. Used to have that script but lost due to update my OS 10 to 10.9.4 Thank you! Igor.

Hasvi,
You can use the method "convertBulletsAndNumberingToText ()"
e.g. app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().convertBulletsAndNumberingToText();
It converts the bullets and numbering to text present in all the active document stories (Footnotes and Tables will be done separately).

Script for Automator to reorder text in file/folder name.

I have a folder full of pictures named by their first and last names. I need them to be renamed by listing them by last name first, first name last in order to get them alphabatized properly. Anybody out there have a nice Automator script for me to make this happen? I'm new.
Looking for it to look like this:
Brown, John

Try this (should work for "John H Smith" --> "Smith John H" as well):
The Run Shell Script Action is:
for f in "$@"
do
    basename=${f##*/}
    path=${f%/*}
    ext=${f##*.}
    name=${basename%.*}
    if [[ "$name" =~ \ ]]; then
        fname=${name% *}
        lname=${name##* }
        name="$lname $fname"
        mv "$f" "$path/$name.$ext"
    fi
done
If you want a comma, then change: name="$lname $fname" to name="$lname, $fname"
As with all scripts, back-up the files before running

Script for Batch Exporting XML from IDCS3 files

Does anyone have a script they would share for batch exporting XML from IDCS3 files? I do not know anything about scripting so I do not know how to write one myself. I've also searched around and cannot find anything. I would appreciate any help with this anyone can offer.
Thanks,

Or use below Code:
try {
     inFolderName= Folder.selectDialog ("Input Folder:");
     outFolderName= Folder.selectDialog ("Output Folder:");
     if ((inFolderName != null) && (outFolderName != null))
          var idFileFolder = new Folder(inFolderName);
          var files = idFileFolder.getFiles("*.indd");
          for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < files.length; myCounter++)
               var theDocument = app.open(File(files[myCounter]));
               with ( theDocument ) {
               myXMLFile = new File(outFolderName + "/" + name.replace(".indd","") + ".xml" );
               exportFile( ExportFormat.xml, myXMLFile );
               close(SaveOptions.no);
catch (err ) {

Add ability for Lightroom to open a RAW file in Photoshop

Currently, one cannot open RAW files in Photoshop from Lightroom. I realize that there are many of the same ACR 4.1 features in LR, but sometimes I just want to the open the RAW file directly in Photoshop.

I agree with this feature request.
I have lightroom and PS Extended. Lightroom is perfect for browsing and searching through my RAW images (much better than Bridge I find), and many times I will process the RAW in lightroom and then send the TIFF to Photoshop for further editing.
HOWEVER, ;O) Photoshop extended has far more RAW capability. Sometimes I look at a RAW in lightroom and would like to send that straight to PS Extended to process the RAW with the extra features. At the moment, I have to manually open photoshop, search for the photo (which is a long time consumer when I already found it in Lightroom) and then process.
This would be a very handy feature.
It would also work perfectly with a similar extra feature to export RAW to a 3rd party program. Sometimes, after browsing photos in lightroom, I would like to send the RAW straight to Photomatix, an HDR software for tone mapping. It only works with RAW for tone mapping, but Lightroom only allows you to send a TIFF/JPG to an external program.
These simple features would really really speed up my work flow.

How to create an Index using a script without having to open all the files using BOOK

Can anyone help me with running a script without opening all the files?

You cannot access the content of a file that is not open. Your script can open and close files in the background if it's written that way.

Tutorials in SWF output format prompted "Do you trust this content to connect to the Internet?" when opening another SWF file

Please help.
I have a tutorial with in the output format of SWF and HTM. I have click boxes that On Success will open another tutorial (SWF file). When I click on the click box, I get prompted “Do you trust this content to connect to the Internet?” by the Adobe Flash Player. I can click “Yes” and continue, however I don’t want the user to get prompted for every click box with this action (there is one for every tutorial and navigation buttons to each tutorial). I also think that SCORM can't handle the prompt, because when I run the tutorial from the LMS the click boxes do not work at all.
I have tried selecting “Always allow” in the Global Security Settings panel as per the instruction on this website: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I wanted to add on a question to this posting.... I believe Rod's instructions must be followed on a per-PC basis, correct? Is there any way to disable this globally when/after I publish the files rather than telling 1000 users across the globe that they have to change their security settings? I don't think so from the article (very thorough) but just hoping there's something I can do?!
Thank you!

Need to find a scripts for changing default "Open with" iTunes app to Quick

Hello all...
I'm new to scripting but need a script really quickly...
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a script that will change the default "Open with" of audio files placed within a certain folder on my desktop...
I'm making sound clips with WireTap and dumping them in a folder called WireTapExports as .mp3. I then need to play them without using iTunes (and importing them by default) but going into the "Get Info" and manualy changing the "Open With" settings for each file is taking ages...and it's very irratating...
Is there a way I can make all audio file put in that folder automaticaly open with Quicktime instead.
I know this is quite easy to most but I've only just started looking at Applescript (i.e. a few days ago) and but I need this to work now...
Many thanks in advance...
PigeonCake...

Not what you want, but if you hold the control key while getting info it changes to summary info which then lets you change the preferred application on a batch of files in one go.

Need script for batch Open/Flatten/Outline/Print Preset/Close/Repeat

I have an Action created that I use in batch mode on deadline day to flatten my artwork, convert text to outlines, print to our press' desired settings (output to postscript file then distilled from there), then close without saving.
The problem is even tho tho the Action has a step for the desired print preset, I still have to use the dropbox and select it, then click Print to get the action going again- if I take out the icon where it stops the script to wait for my input, then I get a "Can't print the illustration. The Color Mangement settings are inconsistent" error.    So I use the dialog icon to use the drop down to select my desired printer.
From there the action has a 'Close' step where I get a question asking me to Yes or No to save the file.   I want to always answer No to the question as I want to preserve the file from being flattened and outlined- I just want the copy to be.    The action will not save the No answer to that question.
This forces me be at the computer and select the printer, click the print button, then answer 'No' for ever file in the batch.   I have to do this for a few hundred files- its a process that takes over an hour.
I think I need a script or some help with the Action so I can get up from the chair and walk away while it does it for me. I've posted here before years ago but got no response. I've been dealing with what I have.
