Folder action: File size as a conditional and then move

Im a complete beginner to AppleScript so please be patient with my amateur questions
So here's what I want to do:
I want to setup a folder action so that whenever I download a file to my Downloads folder that is larger than 50mb, it will automatically be moved to another folder. I tried to use Automator to make this but i found out it doesnt do IF-THEN stuff.
I've searched the internet but i cant find any help!
thanks!!!

actually, this is a breeze in automator. just set up a workflow like so:

How can i open the directory/folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it?

How can i open the directory/folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it? any example would be nice.

In the File I/O>>Advanced File Functions Palette is a function named "List directory". This function will give you two arrays. One contains the names of all subdirectories the other the names of all files. If you want to sort them by name use the array sort function. If you want to sort them by another attribute use the File/Directory Info function to get more data. Use a cluster which contains the attribut to sort and the original index of the name. Then sort this array.

Image size changes after saving and then reopening

I'm using CS6. For example I change the image size to a 4X6 and then save it. Then when I open the file it will be 7.5X5. What's the fix? Thanks for your time.

I'm using Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 7 - 64 bit system. I'm using the Image Size dialog box and saving the file as a 4X6 at 300 dpi from a psd file to a jpeg file. When I open the file it is 5X7.5 inches at 240 dpi. I've been playing with it and have just figured out that when I save the file as a psd file it stays the size I've created and it changes when I save as a jpeg file. This is change is recent. It's worked properly in the past. Thanks for your help.

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos, documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want to move those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again to another external hard drive 1T. My question is:

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos,documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want tomove those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again toanother external hard drive 1T. My question is: Is it possible? Doing this willnot affect the files that I had in windows? No information is lost? or how cani do it?

Connect the external drive to your Mac and drag the files from it to your Mac's internal drive. Then dismount and disconnect the external drive, connect the 1TB external drive, and drag the files from the internal drive onto the external. Nothing will have been deleted from any of the drives up to this point; the files will only have been copied. Verify that the files are readable. There's no reason they shouldn't be; this is just a precaution.
Now if you wish to delete the files from any of the drives, drag them to the Trash, and Empty the Trash while the drive from which they came is still connected. If you disconnect the drive before emptying the Trash, the files you were trying to remove from it won't be deleted. They'll remain in the Trash and continue to take up space on the drive.
Note that if your external drives are in NTFS format, you won't be able to write anything to them or delete anything from them, though you will be able to read and copy the files they contain. The NTFS disk format is read-only to the Mac OS, unless you have a third-party NTFS driver installed. To make your drives cross-platform readable and writable, you must reformat them in the FAT32 or ExFAT format.

Can I download a file in different sessions or should it be in a single session? In other words can I pause the download of a file, shutdown/restart my system and then resume download from where I left off? Or will it start from the very beginning?

Can I download a file in different sessions or should it be in a single session? In other words can I pause the download of a file, shutdown/restart my system and then resume download from where I left off? Or will it start from the very beginning?

If a server supports resuming downloads then the download should continue where it left off.<br />
You can test that by simple starting a large download and wait a minute or so before pausing it.<br />
Then you can close and restart Firefox and see if resuming works.
You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page.<br />
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.

How to create a txt file, load it, modify it and then save it again?

Hello everyone!
I have a question and I hope you'll help me.
I'd like to create a txt file (please see attached pdf file) but I don't know how. I've tried many methods but it's not working
The user should be able to change the parameters (for example "Time", "Time Type" ...etc) and the corresponding values from the Front Panel.
The number of section (Begin Line......End Line) is 128. Means, the final file should contain "Begin Line1....End Line1" till "Begin Line128....End Line128".
Please, take a look at the attached file to see how does the structure of the file look like.
Note: the seperator between a parameter (example, "Time") and its value (example, "7" in the section "Begin Line1....End Line1") is a colon( " : " ) and not an equal (" = ").
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards

Batch File.pdf ‏8 KB

Hi
thanks for your answers.
I'm using LV 8.2 and my file should be saved in txt.
Initially the file doesn't exist. So, the user choose the parameters and their values from the Front Panel
and then hit a button to create that file. The user should be able to reload (Front Panel button) the created file, modify it or not and then resave it.
Before hitting the "create file" button the user define (on the Front Panel) the number of sections ("Begin Line.....End Line") to be created.
I joined a VI here just to explain the idea. May be that can help you to help me.
I appreciate yoyur help!

Can't open documents - File select screen just flashes and then disappears

In Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard - When I open Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. and then try to open a document from one of these programs, the screen where you would select the file to open just flashes and then disappears. This locks me out of the program because it is waiting for a response from me - I can't even exit the program. I have to go to the Task List and close the program from there. This is a new issue - Have had Creative Suite for a while. Does not happen in Word, Excel, etc. I have already tried removing and reinstalling the software - No change. I have minimized all other windows - Still cannot access the file selection screen.

If you have an LCD monitor, make sure it is running at its maximum resolution. After the dialog disappears, try pressing Alt + Spacebar, then M and see if you can find it on the edge of the screen and move it in by pressing arrow keys, press one a few times, then the opposite to bring it back if it didn't show up.

Bug Report for files first opened in Bridge and then worked in Photoshop

I encountered a problem with files first opened in Bridge and then worked in Photoshop as follows:
1. I opened a raw file in Bridge and then after corrections sent to Photoshop with no problem, however, after correcting and saving the file I then went back to the option of closing file and going to bridge. It closes file and stays in Photoshop. In order to get back to bridge I must either click on the bridge logo at bottom of screen or request to go to bridge.
2. I tested the same thing in CS-5 and it works like it is suppose to you click on close and go to bridge and it immediately takes you back to bridge.
3. Unless this is a new feature or suppose to work this way then it is a bug.
NancyZ

Hi Curt
Yes, I am talking about opening a file in bridge doing necessary corrections etc and then sending on to Photoshop. Once I do necessary corretions and save in Photoshop my next step would be to select close and open in bridge which is a choice. In previous Photoshops that I have used (CS4 and CS5) when you did this it would close the file and then immediately take you back to bridge. Now under CS6 if you select close and go to bridge it closes the file but remains in Photoshop. If bridge is not a choice when you select close and open in bridge why even have that as a choice? Why not just select close and then click on bridge logo or Control Alt O or select go to bridge?

I have had a file disappear from creative cloud and then the name get reassigned to a different file.

I have had a file disappear from creative cloud and then the name get reassigned to a different file. How do I retrieve the missing file?

If a file with the same name is saved again then a version is created. You can see versions from the Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files. From the Files page click on the file to go to its page. Switch from the Details tab to the Activity tab if needed. You will see the Current Version and any past versions.

Dear Allan,
Thanks. My main concern is whether my apps will be restored. Will they be available from the synch/backup?
I am considering wiping my iPhone 4s because of one main problem. For some reason I receive, for example, 15 notices of a birthday reminder. I'm sure I made a bad choice somewhere, but cannot figure it out.
Thanks.

I have an application on 4 computers. On 3, PDF files open as they should, withing the application. On the fourth the file is placed in "downloads" and then opens in a separate tab on the desktop(not inside the application).

I have an application on 4 computers. On 3, PDF files open as they should, withing the application. On the fourth the file is placed in "downloads" and then opens in a separate tab on the desktop(not inside the application). Any ideas on settings that might be causing this? It happens whether the application starts in IE11, Google Chrome or Firefox.
This happens whether the "client" signs in over the internet or directly to the local host server.
Thanks in advance

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
