How do I run a simple script that loads an image into photoshop CS - CS4?

Hello,
I am at a loss on how to get my simple application to work. I have a small desktop air application that simply opens Photoshop and runs an action. I used switchboard and the application ran great on PC and MAC. However it only worked for CS3, and CS4 not CS or CS2?. Plus the size of switchboard was a bit large for my small app. I am willing to live with that though . I am using Air with Flex and wanted to know if perhaps there is a beter approach? All the application does is open photoshop, loads an image, and runs an action. Can I do this for all versions of Photoshop using switchboard? Can I do this without switchboard and just use javascript. The big issue is the Air app needs to open Photoshop, and most of the examples have me open PS first and then execute a script located in the PS directory. This needs to work outside of the PS directory. Any examples are appreciated.
I have looked at the following:
- SwitchBoard : only works for CS3-CS4 (on my tests)
- PatchPanel: same issue, plus seperate SDKs
- ExtendScript: requires script to be run from PS not Air

How would I create a simple script that does these specific things?

I am trying to create a script that does these few simple task but I can't seem to compile all the cmdlets together into one. I can pick one task out and have a command for it but I want one script to do it all. Here are the tasks I need it to do.
store the current location (as in C:\scripts)
test to see if a folder C:\output exists, if it does not, create it
prompt the visitor for a folder name (no C:\)
obtain a directory listing of that folder showing all .ps1 files only
place the results of this listing in a file named PS1_files_[folder name].txt in the c:\output folder
repeat this task as part of a loop until an empty string is entered
restore the present location (for example C:\scripts)

How can I run a SQL script file from a location on my computer without providing the whole path?
Is there some way I can set a "Working folder" in SQL Plus??
Thanks!

You can create an environment variable called "SQLPATH" which is a list of directories that SQL*Plus will search for your .SQL
scripts.
I would like to use another directory than the oracle/bin...

How do I run a database procedure that inserts data into a table from withi

How do I run a database procedure that inserts data into a table from within a Crystal report?
I'm using CR 2008 with an Oracle 10i database containing a number of database tables, procedures and packages that provide the data for the reports I'm developing for my department. However, I'd like to know when a particular report is run and by whom. To do this I have created a database table called Report_Log and an associated procedure called prc_Insert_Entry that inserts a new line in the table each time it's called. The procedure has 2 imput parameters (Report_Name & Username), the report name is just text and I'd like the username to be the account name of the person logged onto the PC. How can I call this procedure from within a report when it's run and provide it with the 2 parameters? I know the procedure works, I just can't figure out how to call it from with a report.
I'd be grateful for any help.
Colin

Hi Colin,
Just so I'm clear about what you want:
You have a Stored procedure in your report. When the report runs, you want that same procedure to write to a table called Report_Log.
If this is what you want the simple answer is cannot be done. Crystal's fundamental prupose is to read only, not write. That being said, there are ways around this.
One way is to have a trigger in your database that updates the Report_Log table when the Stored Procedure is executed. This would be the most efficient.
The other way would be to have an application run the report and manage the entry.
Good luck,
Brian

Run a plsql script that is stored in a database in forms

Hi there is it possible to run a plsql script that is stored in a database as a CLOB with parameter placeholders that will be replaced with the contents that will be inserted in a form? If it's possible how do I do this?
Regards

I don't think you can pass a parameter in Francois' example. You probably need a wrapper procedure as explaind by W1zard. So, the question pops up: why can't you create a stored procedure instead of an anonymous block in a clob column? If you do need it, it could look something like:
Code in the table:
begin
insert into emp(empno,ename)
values (:1, :2);
end;
{code}Wrapper procedure:
{code:java}
create or replace procedure call_script(i_empno in number, i_ename in varchar2) as
v_stmt   varchar2(32000); -- CLOB is not possible, because execute immediate cannot use it.
begin
select replace(script_code,chr(13),chr(10))
into   v_stmt
from   script_table
where script_id = 1;
execute immediate v_stmt using i_empno, i_ename
end;
{code}

Do you have the script yourself? Assuming yes, it is the command:

Simple script that will export the coordinates (layer bounds - top left x,y)

Hi,
I'm looking for a simple script that will export the coordinates (layer bounds - top left x,y) of the layers to an seperate xml/txt file.

Your screen capture looks like it's from Photoshop.
In InDesign sub layers are page items, the containing layer has no dimension. So you could get all the page item's x, y, width, height. But you might have to consider groups and then the layering could be very complex. The stacking order could also get complex. Page items have an index, but it's relative to its parent container.

I need a script that copies the filename into the file

I need a script that copies the filename into 4th column of each line in the text doc file.
I have over 2000 different file names each containing 6 columns and ~50-100 rows.
I can do this manually using this script:
awk '{print $1"\t"$2"t\"$3"\t <name> \t"$6}'
But I would like an automation command or script. Is there any command that I can use instead of <name> that will copy the filename into the column?
Thanks
Monica

Oops, I forgot the redirect to a file. It's not a good idea to edit files in place. A script could fail and you're left with at least one file ruined. It's better to create new files then delete the old files.
for file in *; do
    while read col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6; do
        printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" $col1 $col2 $col3 $file $col6
    done < $file > n$file
done
You could narrow the files listed such as
for file in *.tsv
and redirect the new files to another directory. Such as
done < $file > /absolute/path/to/directory/$file

How to dynamically load an Image into a TableView when its row/cell becomes visible?

Hi,
I am building an application that shows tables with large amounts of data containing columns that should display a thumbnail. However, this thumbnail is supposed to be loaded in the background lazily, when a row becomes visible because it is computationally too expensive to to this when the model data is loaded and typically not necessary to retrieve the thumbnail for all data that is in the table.
I have done the exact same thing in the past in a Swing application by doing this:
Whenever the model has changed or the vertical scrollbar has moved:
- Render a placeholder image in the custom cell renderer for this JTable if no image is available in the model object representing the corresponding row
- Compute the visible rows by using getVisibleRect and rowAtPoint methods in JTable
- Start a background thread that retrieves the image for the given rows and sets the resulting BufferedImage in a custom Model Object that was used in the TableModel (if not already there because of an earlier run)
- Fire a corresponding model change event in the EDT whenever an image has been retrieved in the background thread so the row is rendered again
Btw. the field in the model class holding the BufferedImage was a weak reference in this case so the memory can be reclaimed as needed by the application.
What is the best way to achieve this behaviour using a JFX TableView? I have so far failed to find anything in the API to retrieve the visible items/rows. Is there a completely different approach available/required that uses the Cell API? I fail to see it so far.
Thanks in advance for any hints here.

Here’s what I have tried so far:
I have defined a property in my model object that contains a weak reference to the image that is expensive to load. I have modeled that reference as an inner class to the object so I have a reference to its enclosing object. That is necessary because my cell factory otherwise has no access to the enclosing model object, which it needs to trigger loading the image in the background.
The remaining problems I have is, that I don’t have sufficient control over the loading process, i.e. I need to delay the loading process until scrolling has stopped and abort it as soon as the user starts scrolling again and the visible content changes. Imagine that loading an image for a table row (e.g. a thumbnail for a video) takes 200ms to load and a user quickly scrolls through a few hundred records and then stops. With my current set-up, the user has to wait for all loading processes that were triggered in the cell factories to finish until the thumbnails of the records they are looking at will appear (imagine an application like finder to be implemented like that, it would simply suck UX-wise). In my swing application a background thread that loads images for the visible records is triggered with a delay and stopped as soon as the visible content changes. This works well enough for a good user experience. I don’t see how I can do this based on the cell API. It is nice to have all this abstracted away but in this case I do not see how I can achieve the same user experience as in my swing application.
I also tried registering a change listener to the TreeCell’s visible property to make that control the image loading but I don’t seem to get any change events at all when I do that.
I must be missing something.

How do i bring an image into photoshop?

how do i bring an image into photoshop?

Additionally, if you've copied an image from a website or other location, you can go to File > New and, for CS6, at least, the canvas will already be the dimensions of the image you have in your clipboard. So, once you start that new file, you can simply go to Edit > Paste (or hit cmd V) to drop in the image.
Please let us know if we can assist you any further.

How to load an image into blob in a custom form

Hi all!
is there some docs or how to, load am image into a database blob in a custom apps form.
The general idea is that the user has to browse the local machine find the image, and load the image in a database blob and also in the custom form and then finally saving the image as blob.
Thanks in advance

How can I create a simple app that will automatically add folder script

Hi! I hope I can get a little help on this. I tried searching online and haven't found anything.
Is there away I can make a simple "application" that will automatically add a folder script to a users folder?
Basically I need a folder script to run but I don't want to explaint o a user how they'd have to do it in automator.
I'd like to be able to create an application they double click. The app tells them to select a folder then automatically runs the script.
Does anyone have any ideas of how'd I'd do this?

Oh I get it. Yeah I read you post on one of the other pages and didn't quite understand, but not that you say that your're makeing this for another user, it makes sence.
So what you want to do is have the computer automatically install a script on a customer's computer, right?
(I'm using "custumer" loosly; i.e. just another user)
If that's what you'd like to do, then you'll probably have to write an actual program in Xcode, since I imagine automiticlly installing folder action scrips will be highly discuraged by Apple because it would cause a huge security hole in the OS. (You wouldn't want some random person sending you a folder action installer disgused as a regular app LOL.)
But I will actually suggest the following, which I think will work great for your users:
Make a regular Automator app, and drag it to your Dock. Now, have the user click and drag a bunch of photos to the application icon, and it will run the app automatically on those files.
You could try a work flow like this:
ask the user Are you sure?
convert pictures
save pictures to ConvertedPics folder
pop up a confirmation message saying that everything was resized
Hope this helps
