How can I create an action that dynamically appends the filename, when saving?

I have created a batch file that watches a folder for .jpgs. When a jpg is found, it runs a Photoshop droplet that resizes and exports six different sizes of the same image, then closes the image. This all works fine, however the step I am stuck on is getting Photoshop to dynamically rename the files. What I mean is when I drop in a file named something like filename.jpg, I want the images to be named according to the width of resize. Exported files should be filename-1400.jpg, filename-1200.jpg, filename-800.jpg, etc. filename2.jpg would become filename2-1400.jpg, filename2-1200.jpg, filename-800.jpg. As it is now, Photoshop names the files the same names I saved them as, while creating the actions.
I am using Photoshop CS6.

What OS and verson of AI? Along with what Myle said, in the Actions panel is a column which allows the dialogs to be turned on/off. Make sure this is unchecked at all levels of the Action.

  • How can I create an action that uses "Find and replace"?

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to create an action that will use "Find and replace" to change certain words and phrases in my .psd-files. These are words and phrases I change a lot (I'm translating emails and website banners) and I would like to speed up that process using actions.
    When I tried to create the action I got the error message "The object "in contents of all text layers" is not currently available".
    Then I tried "insert menu items" and chose "Find and replace" and then did my change, but then it stopped when the FAR-window popped up. That's what I want to skip, so it just changes my words and phrases that I want.
    Is this possible?
    Best,
    Carl

    Anyway, in the Script in that other thread the function replaceText takes two Strings, so something like
    function main () {
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    replaceText ("replace this", "with this")
    would be a possibility.

    I don't follow what you are trying to do. Can you provide an example on a site that does what you need to do?

    How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original?   Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

    There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture:  a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made.  (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
    The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack.  A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack.  This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick.  If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album.  Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick".  (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.)  The change is immediate.  The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

    How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

    You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
    The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

  • How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

    How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

  • How can I make a button that on press the object appears and on second press the object to disappear

    Hello,
    I'm quite new to flash programing, and I don't know how can I make a button that will make the object appear and disappear.Till now I have this code for the appear:
    on (press)
        _root.top1.gotoAndStop(2);
        _root.topp.gotoAndStop(2);
        _root.mm1.gotoAndStop(2);
              _root.m1.gotoAndStop(2);
    but from here I'm stuck.
    Thank you for your help

    What you can do is use the _visible property of the object to make it appear and disappear, or more correctly, use the opoosite of the _visible property.  You should not put code "on" objects, keep it in the timeline.
    If "object" is the instance name of the object you want to toggle, then in the timeline code you can use...
    object._visible = false;  // start with the object being invisible
    yourButtonName.onRelease = function(){
        object._visible = !object._visible;
    That one line in the function sets the object's _visible property to be the opposite of what it currently is.

    I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

    You can sync those different playlists to the iPod, and the song appears on each playlist.  However, the song is stored on the iPod once.  What is the practical reason for wanting to store the same song file multiple times (and waste storage space) on the iPod?

    Another option if you have access to a second Mac with a drive is to connect the two together with the iMac in Target Disk Mode,  Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, and installing from the Mac with the optical drive.

  • How can I create an icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file?

    How do I create a icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file?  I have tried to use the simple image widget with maximize upon tap/click - however I am can only size the image really small and put on the page.  I'd prefer to have a graphic that when clicked it simply opens up the image.  This is for a very simple question/answer book.   The user is suppose to look at a picture and locate something.  I want to put an 'Answer' graphic on the image and then the user can click the 'answer' graphic and it will open up the picture with the answer identified. 
    Is this possible?

    Have yiu tried the PopOver widget?  You can drop an image into it, maximise the image and the widgets window...But, you cannot get it full screen.
    With iBooks Author, you either learn to use what is available within the app, or look online for third party widgets to purchase which suit your project.

  • Having stopped audio with a swf inside a sidelet can someone create a swf that will resume the audio

    Ok, rick is going to post the fla of this file and I will
    post the swf. Basically this is all about having a slide that has
    audio running all the way through and enabling the user to roll
    over a sidelet and have the video and audio stop playback.
    At present, the max you can achieve is, to stop video. The
    audio keeps going and of course everything gets out of
    sync. Rick has create a swf that you input into a sidelet (
    after having imported your image or video ) which stops the audio.
    Fantasitc. Unfortunatly he was not successful in creating a swf
    that will resume the audio.
    So there is the mission. To create something that will resume
    the audio, be it a swf inside the sidelet or something else.

    Hi there paul. Am I right in thinking that your code will
    mute the audio. In my situation this would cause problems becasue
    you would roll over the sidelet - the audio would go silent and
    when you rolled off, or resumed the audio, it would have been
    playing so again the video and audio will be out of sync.
    Rick - rather than another swf which would activate the audio
    and video when you roll off the sidelet ( while that is the perfect
    solution ) what about looking at a button the user can press to
    resume things, maybe Im wrong but that sounds a little easier.
    ( however for all those reading this that is not really the
    solution I am looking for, what Im looking for is the above
    solution where you can just roll off and on and so on )

  • How can I create a subVI that has state?

    I'm trying to simplify a VI that I inherited and I noticed a recurring pattern that IMHO should be a subVI.  The pattern is that we have a digital output line that is controlled by a timer.  Each output has a start time for it to activate and a duration after which it is turned off.  When the state changes, a single line entry is added to a common log file and an indicator shared variable is set so that the remote host VI updates.  We have a big while loop that checks the current time against each of the activation conditions.  To detect when the state has changed, we're using a shift register (for each actuator).  It's one thing to see the same pattern 3 times, but it's worse -- we want to sometimes use a different number of actuators.  If I was writing this in C++ (with which I'm far more comfortable than LabView), I'd write a class for the actuator and instantiate it N times.  The class would have member data to keep track of its state.  I can create a subVI that does the meat of the design pattern, but I can't figure out how to store the previous state in the subVI without requiring it to be passed in.  How do I keep the state and behavior of a VI together?  Surely there's a way to do this because otherwise I can't see how you could implement state-ful algorithms like, say, a PID controller.  But I'm at a loss to figure it out ...
    Thanks.
    Keith.

    To save state in a subVI and not use that state in other subVI calls, make the subVI reentrant.  When a subVI that is reentrant is called it creates a unique memory space for that subVI.  This is called a clone.  That memory space is where state is held for that subVI.  Keep in mind that it also means that the memory footprint is going to be larger.
    To set a subVI to be reentrant, open it and go to File -> VI Properties and select execution.  It will be a choice on the bottom left.
    Hope that this helps,
