How Do I create a Action In PSE7

I was wondering how to create an action in PSE7. I've created them in CS4, but the stops dont work in PSE7. ???

Unfortunately, you can't create an action in PSE, only in PS. The stops should work as long as the steps are things PSE can understand, which is significantly more restricted than what you can do in Photoshop.
However, to get the stops to work, you need to install the action into the effects palette, not the actions player, which won't stop for anything and doesn't give you access to the layers palette, either.

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 do i create an action to crop to fit something?

Hello, I have a bunch or 3d renders which are a flat colour background with an object in the center.
I need to create an action to crop the flat colour around the object, leaving a specified space. Mantaining the aspect ratio of the picture would be nice, but no completelly necessary.
Maybe theres a plugin, script or other software for doing this?
I attached an example.

HELP!

Keep in mind Trim will only work if the color is an exact match in all pixels, and things get complicated when you start re-expanding the image using a sampled color. It all falls apart if there's any variation in the background color. I don't think Trim it's the best choice.
However, one can imagine creating an action based on the Magic Wand tool and an appropriate tolerance value to get the job done. It would go something like this:
1. Click the Magic Wand in the upper-left corner. That selects virtually all of the background color.
2. Select - Inverse.
3. Select - Expand - XX pixels where XX is the amount of border you want.
4. Image - Crop.
5. Select - Deselect.
I even tried it to ensure it works. A sample version is here: http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/temp/Goblino.zip

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.

How do I create an action to save as, but into a different folder than the one I used to create the action?

I am having an issue with my action being created to save under the same folder that my action was created with. For instance, I opened an image, recorded the action, then I went to a different folder to play the action, but it saves to the previous folder. How do I add some way to change the folder I want my pics to save to?

If you want to give Scripting a try paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
// saves jpg into same folder;
// be advised: this overwrites existing jpgs of the same name without prompting.
// 2010, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop;
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var thedoc = app.activeDocument;
// getting the name and location;
var docName = thedoc.name;
if (docName.indexOf(".") != -1) {var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1]}
else {var basename = docName};
// getting the location, if unsaved save to desktop;
try {var docPath = thedoc.path}
catch (e) {var docPath = "~/Desktop"};
// jpg options;
var jpegOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpegOptions.quality = 12;
jpegOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpegOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
//save jpg as a copy:
thedoc.saveAs((new File(docPath+'/'+basename+'.jpg')),jpegOptions,true);
//that’s it; thanks to xbytor;

How do I create an action that saves files as JPG in the same folder?

Hey folks!
So I'm sitting at work, trying to optimize my workflow a bit..
What I'd like, is a droplet, that will allow me to open PSD's and save them as JPG in a new folder inside the original folder.
Like the Image Processor that makes a new folder named 'JPG' but without opening the dialog box and having to press buttons.. Drag-drop-done
Sitting on Imac with OS X 10.10.2 with Photoshop CC 2014.
Hope you can help

Use scriptListener to create the code for adjusting the hue. find the line in the code that denotes the change in hue replace that value with a variable that stores a random number:
var rangeForRandomNumber = 200
var offsetForRandomNumber = -100
var randomNumber = Math.random() * rangeForRandomNumber + offsetForRandomNumber

Trying to create an action to save to web

When I create an action to save to web, it always saves the file name in the action. Every save after that creates a file to replace the previous one. The actions that came with AI CS4 save the file as the file name.
How can I create an action to save to web as the file name of the open file?
Dean

Check the naming conventions in the save for web panel itself. Unfortunately they introduce their own redundant naming which may conflict with conventional save steps in the action...

How to create new actions ? in the interaction record screen

Hi all,
I'm working with the IC web client.
In the interaction record screen the is a link to actions.
But how to create new actions ? schedule actions ?
Component "ICCMP_BT_INR"
View "InrHeaderViewSet"

Hi Eran,
Gret is absolutely right ..The actions are transaction type specific and can be attached along in the customizing as mentioned above by gret , these can then be tested in the SAP gui first for their scheduled and start conditions and then in the ICWC.
There is no special settings for actions in ICWC if they are there in your transaction they will come in the ICWC.
Hope this helps

How Do I Locate An Action I Created In CS5?

Hello Folks,
How do I locate and action that I created in CS5, so I can load it into CS6?
I am running CS5 and 6 using Mac OSX Snow Leopard
I crearted two actions, but am now not sure where they reside, to load them into CS6
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Jim

Thanks for the helpful reply.
Yes, I do still have CS5 installed an intact. I have launched it and I can find my actions within the action pane, and run them on a loaded image.
When I click on either of my two actions, they attempt to run, without and image loaded and run with an image loaded. When I click on the fly out menu
to try and save either of them, "save action" is greyed out.
I've looked in every Adobe/Photoshop folder I can think of but can't seem to find either of them. I've also tried to use a spotlight search to locate them, but no luck.

How to create custom action

Hi,
how to create custom action for Assemble permission for CMS. we have CMS.transport action which gives permission to Assemble & also to other activities. I want to know if there is a possiblity to just give that assemble permission instead of Cms.Transport.

Hi,
Yes if you are going to modify Umerole.xml then only this is possible
<ACTION NAME="Manage_All">
<DESCRIPTION LOCALE="en" VALUE="Overall user administrator permissions, that is, administration of users belonging to any company." />
<PERMISSIONCLASS="com.sap.security.core.admin.permissions.UMAdminPermissions" NAME="MANAGE_ALL_COMPANIES" VALUE="*" />
<PERMISSIONCLASS="com.sap.security.core.admin.permissions.UMAdminPermissions" NAME="USERS_ASSIGN_TO_DIFF_COM" VALUE="*" />
<PERMISSIONCLASS="com.sap.security.core.admin.permissions.UMAdminPermissions" NAME="USER_VIEWPROFILE" VALUE="*" />
<PERMISSIONCLASS="com.sap.security.core.admin.permissions.UMAdminPermissions" NAME="USER_CHANGEPROFILE" VALUE="*" />
<PERMISSIONCLASS="com.sap.security.core.admin.permissions.UMAdminPermissions" NAME="USER_CHANGEPASSWORD" VALUE="*" />
<PERMISSIONCLASS="com.sap.security.core.admin.permissions.UMAdminPermissions" NAME="USER_CREATE" VALUE="*" />
As you in this UMErole.xml file, we have an Action named = Manage_All
Also we have PERMISSIONCLASS, waht you can do is find action you want to modify and for e.g you want USER_CHANGEPASSWORD should not be there for Manage_All action, then just delete the permission class for that action.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Ameya

How to create a action programatically

Hi ,
Actually I am creating a button dynamically.This function is working fine.
But I am not able to add action to that button.
beacue samplebutton.setAction needs MethodBinding objetc and I am not able to create the same...
ANy idea how can i bind any action to the button programatically?

I am using below sample and it's working good.
RichCommandButton cb = new RichCommandButton();
String actionEL = "#{backingBeanName.actionFunctionName}";
MethodExpression action = actionMethodExpression(actionEL);
cb.setActionExpression(action);
public static MethodExpression actionMethodExpression(String actionName) {
//the MethodExpression to be returned.
MethodExpression methodExpression = null;
//Since Action Method does not accept parameters no argtypes are needed.
Class[] argumentTypes = new Class[0];
FacesContext facesCtx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application app = facesCtx.getApplication();
ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
ELContext elContext = facesCtx.getELContext();
methodExpression =
elFactory.createMethodExpression(elContext, actionName, null,
argumentTypes);
try {
// this methodCall does some sort of "evaluation" of the newly created MethodExpression..
// if something is wrong... exception is thrown..
methodExpression.getMethodInfo(elContext);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return methodExpression;
}

How can I create Droplets using Actions with several Stops?

My Droplets (using Actions but with several Stops) work very nicely when using a single image source. However when using multiple images thing start to go crazy.
At the first stop on the first image a pop-up emerges asking me to continue to the next image or stop. If I select stop I can continue with the Action for this first image and complete the Action on that first photo.
If I select continue it halts the action on that photo at the first stop then opens the 2nd image and repeats the action to the first stop on the next photo then the pop-up appears again and the cycle repeats.
How can I create Droplets using Actions with several Stops?

I don't believe this is possible when starting from Java. I think you need to start with a WSDL to get this to work. I am curious as to why having multiple WSDLs is an issue, would you care to eloborate.
Thanks
