Create folder / file icon with automator

Guys,
I know very little about using Automator.
I was wondering if there is a way to create folder / file icons using automator to take an image of the contents of the file (maybe an image file / autodesk or sketchup drawing etc). The process would be similar to the way image files such as jpeg etc display the image as the file icon automatically.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers....Scotty

Have you considered using rsync? This has the benefit of only copying only changed files on subsequent backups.
Here's rsync wrapped in Applescript:
set SrcDir to (choose folder with prompt "Please select Source directory")
set DestDir to (choose folder with prompt "Please select Destination directory")
set SrcDir to text items 1 thru -2 of POSIX path of SrcDir
do shell script "/usr/bin/rsync -aHE --delete --exclude=\"*.mpg\" " & space & SrcDir & space & POSIX path of DestDir
For a list of rsync options, in Terminal, enter: man rsync.

How to edit a captured custom .wim file?

Hi folks,
I am in process of gaining experience with capturing and deploying Windows 7 SP1 from our WDS server using unattend file.
Everything is working, since we installed our applications, ran sysprep, and captured a custom .wim file.
Now we deploy it using unattend file and everything works.
I am trying to figure out if there is a best practice here for adding applications to this new custom .wim file?
I've tried deploying this new image to a unit, installed app, and run sysprep but fails with this error:
A fatal error occurred while trying to sysprep the machine.
I am thinking this has to do with multiple syspreps or something?
I am trying to avoid having to use a default install.wim and app install automation with MDT or something like that. We are strict to WDS only right now.
Appreciate any comments,
Thanks! romatlo

Offline servicing allows for adding/removing drivers and updates in MSU/CAB files.
I do not use MDT either. If you want to "install" a new application to an image that is "out of arms" then you will need to install it after deployment. If your image has an answer file, you can mount your image. Then copy the installation files to it or
you can keep it on a network share. Then in the answer file, you can put in the commands to install it using FirstLogonCommands.
I typically like to reference a .cmd file in my unattend that I can add/remove commands to finalized images. So if a client wants to install a new program but doesn't want to recreate the image, then I can have it installed that way.
<FirstLogonCommands>
<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
<Order>1</Order>
<Description>Set up Service Account</Description>
<CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait c:\folder\FirstLog.cmd</CommandLine>
</SynchronousCommand>
</FirstLogonCommands>

How do I support multiple custom WSDL files in one application?

I am developing an application that will integrate with SOD. This application will be run at multiple customers - each of which could have their own set of custom fields defined for the various objects that we're interested in. Is there a web service that allows you to access custom objects and fields in a generic fashion or am I going to have to obtain each customer's custom WSDL file and write some sort of adapter for each that plugs into our main integration logic?
Based on everything I've tried and read, it seems like the latter is true.
Edited by: user3029444 on Mar 27, 2009 5:11 AM

Hi !
As I am developing many customer applications with OCOD interface, I confirm that the only way I see is to have an adapter. For example, having a folder WSDL containing one sub folder for each customer. And these sub folders will contain the customer specific wsdl.
Then you'll have to run your application in a customer context, I mean knowing who is running the application and then set your wsdl path regarding this identification.
Hoep this will help, feel free to ask more !

Folder/ file icons are different sizes from one window to another!

Hi there
I am having an extremely annoying problem where all my folders and files (in icon view) are totally different sizes from each other from one window to another. For example, I might click on a folder that's icon is small sized (64x64), but when that folder opens up, the icons of the subfolders inside are huge (276x276) and need to instantly be resized and re-arranged. Then if i continue to open one of these subfolders, the file icons inside it are now medium sized (96x96). Each new folder that I go into on my hard drive will be differently sized and I end up spending ages resizing and re-arranging them before I can do my work. This problem never happened in Leopard and Im despairing of what to do.
Is there a way of setting a default icon size and spacing that can then be applied to every folder and file on the hard drive? I have used the 'Use as defaults' option on the 'View options' window but this doesn't apply it to anywhere else besides the current window you are on.
Surely, Im doing something wrong as Apple could never have overlooked such an obvious problem like this?
Can anyone advise?
Many thanks
Dan

The Finder will (theoretically) remember the view settings for each individual folder that you visit. If you have not opened a particular folder before, you should get the default view settings, but once you have changed the view then that is what you will get on subsequent visits. You can erase the previous settings by deleting the (normally invisible) .DS_Store file that is created in a folder when it is opened, but this file can contain other Finder metadata.

How do I fix flashing question-mark-file-icon issue on reboot?

My Mac Book Air 11" has been a bit strange recently, so I decided that a full clean would be a good idea. I had no important files I wanted to keep, so i went ahead and reinstalled the OS. Apparently that doesn't delete everything, so I did some research. Apparently I have to delete the drive. So I did, using the command-r method. I erased my HD and made a new one, but upon reboot I get this flashing-question-mark-file icon. How do I fix this?

After you erased the drive, did you install the OSX?
Ciao

Disappearing file icons in Yosemite

Since upgrading to Yosemite proper, many of the file icons do not show up. Did not happen with the Yosemite Beta. Is anyone else having the same issue and if so how have you resolved it? Thanks

The preview icons are there, but it is not SMALL PICTURES Alike those embedded in the thumbnail
You have to set the finder "View options" accordingly ...
To be clear, I don't mean the icon of the Preview.app but actual small previews of the images. And theses are not embedded thumbnails, but created by the Finder on the fly. So to answer your original question: Lightroom does not embed thumbnails in exported jpegs (I guess to keep the file size down), but the Finder does not need them to show a preview of the image as its icon.

How can I use a custom js file to specify link destinations?

If I use a rectangle to create a button (name "ExitRight"), I specify the button action in a click script. So, to go to a web page using the click script, I enter:
window.location= " window.location="https://www.google.com/";
This works fine and if I look in the edgeAction.js file I find:
//Edge symbol: 'engine_anim'
   (function(symbolName) {
      Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_ExitRight}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // insert code for mouse click here
         window.location="https://www.google.com/";
      //Edge binding end
   })("mySymbol");
   //Edge symbol end
Now, what I really want to do is be able to change the destination the button takes me to by using a global variable to specify the destination:
something like...
window location = myDestination;
...where myDestination is a global created in an external custom js document loaded in to the script library
Just putting...
myDestination = "https://www.google.com/";
...into the external js doc doesn't work. So how can I accomplish this?

It must be summer vacation time. Questions are not being answered and this is the third question that I've had to find out the answer for myself.
The solution I found (from a post by hemanth kumar r https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1479495) was to make variables and functions properties of AdobeEdge.
So in the external .js document a variable is declared and given a value:
AdobeEdge.myVariableName = "The variable value";
To use it in a symbol/element:
alert(AdobeEdge.myVariableName);
And a function is declared:
AdobeEdge.myFunctionName(param){...function code...} //param optional
To call these in a symbol/element:
AdobeEdge.myFunctionName(param);

How can I have a custom output file destination for each different preset?

Hey guys,
I have a bunch of presets in AME but I need to have each preset export to it's own folder. How can I do that? This was a really simple thing to do in Compressor but in Media Encoder is seems like I can only specify one output file destination for the whole application in general and everything gets exported to that folder. Can anyone help me with that please?

This is a user to user forum. It is not staffed by Adobe employees so you will not always get a direct response from Adobe.
That being said, the output destination is not tied to the presets so this is not possible without a little extra work. You can change multiple output destinations by selecting multiple jobs and then clicking on one of the output locations to update them all. Another way to set this up would be to use watch folders.
This is a feature request are aware of but if you would like to add your vote for it, please add that request here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

How do I open a hidden folder/file by using terminal

I know how to use Mac, I didn't find a better category.
By using this "code" in terminal you can show all hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles True
But also hide more files by putting a dot infront of the file-name.
Now let's say I have hidden a folder and it's located on my desktop and I have hidden all files again (by entering:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles False).
How do I open just this one folder without showing every hidden file?
I know you have to write killall Finder if you wondered

Thank you! I have only heard about the shortcut (ShiftCmdC). But my mac "is on Swedish" so the shortcut didn't work. I checked out Go and there I found it.
The shortcut for Swedish Macs is ShiftCmdG

Please help-how to copy & apply attributes to another file

I just started learning AE CS5.5 and I am stuck.
I am trying to duplicate or copy the attributes from a jpeg file in an existing layer in a comp that has already been created. I am not interested in duplicating the image, just the attributes (transform, material options and other imbedded characteristics that are part of this file)
The file I want to apply these same attributes to is a .psd file which has multiple layers I want to apply these same effects to.
How do I duplicate these attributes so they retain the same settings?
Thanks!

Duplicate the layer with the effects & keyframes & whatnot; yes, duplicate the layer.
Highlight the duplicated layer, then Option-drag the replacement footage from the project window onto this duplicated layer. Poof! Done!
I guess it would be alt-drag on a windows box.

How to change/apply new home folder path to 350+ users?

quick intro:
...had a screwy server, planned a rebuild.
added all active users to a specific group.
Exported said group, exported ALL users, exported anything I could think of!
Have vanilla built 10.4.10 server, few teething probs with a DNS glitch, think I'm over it...
not 100 percent sure, but 4 users I've tested appear to be working.
imported specific group, didnt show any members.
Had to import ALL users before they populated, unfortunatley ALL users appear to have active accounts, only want specific group active
(was I expecting to much?)
In a bid to tidy up home dirs, correct privelages etc.
is there a simple way to apply the same privs to hundreds of folders rather than selecting each one?
I basically want <user> as the owner, <admin> as the group, everyone else none.
Also need to change/apply a new home dir path to 350plus users
What is the easiest way to do this?
TIA

Use the Search feature in WGM (upper right icon). If you want to apply a setting to say all users in the group "Teachers" and the GID is 100 then you would search and "Group ID IS 100. Check the box preform a batch edit. Now make any changes you want and save. WGM will prompt you with a list of users the change will apply to. Also if you don't check the box you will see a list of all users in that group, you can use this to delete all the members of another group OR export only the members in a group (highlight them all after a search).

The following terminal command will apply privileges to every folder inside the current folder. Note that the folder name and the short name for the user must match exactly. cd to the directory with home folders first.
sudo for i in `ls`;do chown -R $i $i;done

Office 2010 deployment - wont apply custom .MSP file

Hi all,
I am creating a new deployment environment for our company and having some issues with Office and adminfiles.
I basically cannot get setup to apply the custom MSP file from my network share, either using MDT application deployment, nor manually using the command prompt once the machine has been built.
I was also informed by several documents that any patches (which I assume to be MSP's and MSU's) that are present in the \Updates\ folder during setup will automatically be applied. This does NOT happen for me. It completely ignores my MSP when it's in there.
The error I get when trying to parse the admin file is pretty basic. It just says: "path or file specified with /adminfile did not contain any patches"
This is the command i'm using: setup.exe /adminfile "Updates\mymsp.MSP"
I've also tried using the full path: setup.exe /adminfile "\\domain\server\apps\office\updates\mymsp.msp"
None of that works.
Any ideas??
NB. It DOES work when I copy the MSP file to a local disk and execute from there. That adds an unnecessary manual step to my builds though, which I want to be completely automated. It also means I have to create a batch file to copy it locally first.

Hi Greg,
do you use a config.xml?
Yes: Please add the following line to the config.xml:
<Logging Type="Verbose" Path="%TEMP%" Template="Office_2010_ProfessionalPlus_Install(*).txt" />
No: Please create an empty config.xml and copy&paste the following line:
<Configuration Product="ProPlusr">
<Logging Type="Verbose" Path="%TEMP%" Template="Office_2010_ProfessionalPlus_Install(*).txt" />
</Configuration>
The above lines are customized for Office 2010 ProfessionalPlus. Then run the setup again, include the config.xml-file:
setup.exe /adminfile path\file.msp /config path\config.xml
The setup should write an extensive log to the temp-folder (%temp%). The logfile will show you, if setup can locate the specified msp-file and is able to parse it. If it does not work out, post the logfile here.

Custom Folder View w/ Movable Columns

Question1:
=======
I created very simple custom folder view. How can I make my custome folder view to display Movable Columns?
When adding elements into Folder View, the section Standard Form Elements does contain only the element Discussion Folder (Standard View), no movable columns
I need in my custom folder view movable columns, Heeeeeeeeelp!!
Question2:
=======
In Folder Options in Configure Columns, one can choose what columns of an entry to display.
I found the order of chosen columns inconsistent.
Is there a way how to specify the order of the chosen columns?

1. When in the folder, click on Manage > Configure. Do you not see an option for selecting the default folder view?
2. No, currently there is no way to specify the column order.
