How to avoid double extension *jpg.tif when exporting layers to files?
Please help, I checked all the topics related and it seems nobody bothers about this issue.
When I do a Photomerge of a series of jpg files, Photoshop builds a multilayered file - but preserves in the name of each layer *.jpg
When I want now to export layers to files, the Scripting function will do the dumb thing and export each file with the original name - ending in JPG - , plus the extension required by me - for ex tif.
It does the same if I chose to export as jpg files and puts double extension again < *.JPG.jpg> at the end of each file exported from a layer.
I looked everywhere and couldn't find a way to solve this behavior, which forces me to do batch renames in Bridge.
The next program where I need the files (After Effects) doesn't want to import these files with double extensions.
Has anyone encountered this issue and what can be done to avoid these double extensions at Scripts/Export layers to files?
Thanks for the answer
I have just altered my script so that it will remove the extentions if found.
http://www.scriptsrus.talktalk.net/Layer%20Saver.htm
Also it would be better to use :-
var layerName = activeDocument.activeLayer.name.replace(/\....$/,'');
As this way it doesn't arbitory remove the last four characters, only if it finds a fullstop.

How to avoid getting bogus error messages when running a build file?
Consider the following fragment in a build file:
<var name="component.key" value="provisioning.include.atk"/>
<var name="provisioning.include.atk.domain.hostname" value="localhost"/>
<echoNested>component.key.domain.hostname=${${component.key}.domain.hostname}<
/echoNested>
When we run with ant -v
Result:
Property "${component.key" has not been set
[echoNested] component.key.domain.hostname=localhost
Expected result:
[echoNested] component.key.domain.hostname=localhost
Can someone explain why I am getting the message "Property "${component.key" has not been set"?
Thanks,
PrasannaIn your ANT script you can not use "${${" together
Please refer to http://jaysensharma.wordpress.com/2009/12/06/ant_basics/
You can do something like this:
*"build.xml"*
<project name="webservices-complex" default="runSuccess">
<property name="component.key" value="localhost" />
<property name="component.key.domain.name" value="localhost" />
<target name="runSuccess" >
<echo message="${component.key}" />
</target>
<target name="runSuccess2" >
<echo message="${component.key.domain.name}" />
</target>
</project>

Weird numbers when Exporting Layers to Files / Layer Comps to Files
Hi there,
File > Scripts > Export Layers to Files ...
File > Scripts > Layer Comps to Files ...
File > Scripts > Layer Comps to PDF ...
File > Scripts > Layer Comps to WPG ...
After I use each of these Scripts , even if I specify "File Name Prefix:", in the name of the exported files I see strange nomeration. This is pretty confusing , because each time I have to rename the files to remove these numbers.
Adobe please remove the numbers prefix that these Scipts adds..
Thanks!

Modding the Export Layers to Files script to preserve .jpg quality
Please forgive me if I am posting this incorrectly, but as the thread I initially replied to is marked as Answered I started to wonder whether my question would be seen or not so I started this new thread. My original question is located in the thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/2795719#2795719 because Kari was having a similar issue to mine, but with a different file format. My original text:
I am having a similar issue, except that I need to save each layer as a .jpg, and the Export Layers to Files script is compressing the images in some fashion so that a previously seamlessly tiling layer now has a border that ruins the tile. If I save each layer individually using either the Save As command or Save for Web and Devices with the proper settings (Maximum Quality, Progressive, and Baseline Standard), the resulting images don't acquire this border, so I feel pretty certain it is something in the script that is messing up (changing the compression of) the layers, but I honestly don't know what. I have tried modifiying the jpeg portion of the script this way, hoping to prevent it from deviating from the usual Save As options:
case jpegIndex:
docRef.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
var saveFile = new File(exportInfo.destination + "/" + fileNameBody + ".jpg");
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality; // 12
docRef.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
break;
but this doesn't seem to affect whatever setting is being changed. Layers saved to .jpg this way still acquire the border. I don't see what line might control whether the image is saved as progressive or not, nor anything to affect the text setting "Maximum" that I use when I successfully save each layer individually.
I am a complete novice at scripting, so please excuse/explain the obvious mistakes I may be making here.
I have since installed the script listener plug in and isolated a bit of script for saving the intended way, and hope to insert this snippet into the Export Layers as Files script, but I can tell that some of the lines are extraneous (like where it points to the file path I took), but I don't know what is safe to trim out. I sincerely appreciate any assistance with this!Here is the script that uses scriptlistner to do the jpeg save. Note I changed the name by adding '_mod' to the end to remind you that it has been edited. You can remove the origianl version by moving the file to another folder outside the scripts folder or by adding ~ at the start of the filename.
I recommend saving this as Export Layers to Files_mod.jsx. If this doesn't work for you we can try using the scriptlistener saveForWeb.

How to avoid double-click to click-box
Hello,
until now I did not find a solution for this problem:
I have created a training course for a specific application, and in this coure are some click boxes on which the user should click. On many click boxes should the user click only once but if he double-click the click box, in real application nothing happens. There is only one way to succes the action - one click. But in captivate when the user double-click the click box instead of one click it evaluate as success action (the click box is set only to one click, double-click checkbox is not checked).
So my question is, is there any way how to avoid double-click in cases where the user should click only once? Or in case he double-click the click box to show failure caption?
Many thanks.
LukasHi all
Interesting thread. Unfortunately, what would be needed here is some sort of a widget that would run some internal timer. Sure, you can try multiple Click Boxes and configure one with a Single Click and one with a Double Click. But the problem with that (as I see it) is regardless of what you might try, the Single Click will win out every time. Thus you would need a widget of some sort that would "listen" for a Double Click and respond appropriately.
Tough call... Rick

How do I uninstall or reinstall itunes when the itunes.mls file is missing and won't do either without it? Have done a search for the file extension on PC and two external hard drives. Doesn't show up.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

if you are using the extendedscript toolkit would be able to run the script and see if you know were the problem is coming from i cant seem to understand why its not seeing the destination.

How can I get the script Export Layers to Files to export compressed pngs?
I would love to be able to take advantage of Photoshop's compressed png when using the script Export Layers to Files. I there a way I could modify the script to do this?
TIA!!!
========================
I found it ... I needed to add a line to the pngSaveOptions (around line #886) ...
var saveFile = new File(exportInfo.destination + "/" + fileNameBody + ".png");
pngSaveOptions = new PNGSaveOptions();
pngSaveOptions.interlaced = false;
// trying to compress png files
pngSaveOptions.compression = 9;
docRef.saveAs(saveFile, pngSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
break;
=========================It does. The standalone XML Export was only offered by itself
in the
registration incentives. Sorry.

How batch export layers to files in CS5
Hi,
I am a newbie in CS5 , I tried to batch export layer to files in CS5 , because I have thousands PSD files that I need to export layers in separated png files..
In each script I made I have the following error.." reference error: dlgMain is not found" ( in french: erreur de reference: dlgMain n'est pas definie)
How can I batch export layers to files in CS5??
Thankyou all by advance for your help.I am humbled to be of any help. I truly believe you are one of the unsung heroes of the Photoshop community!
I lost track of how many custom and ingenious scripts you created for countless other users, in so many online places...
As a scripts Illiterate, I bow in front of your knowledge and generosity!
(But Learning After Effects Expressions might in fact made me begin to make tiny steps towards wrapping my head around scripting) -
Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality
I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. I shoot green screen in HDV and work in 1440 x 1080. I have been capturing files in Premiere and sending them to Serious Magic Ulta 2. I use this program for keying and adding virtual backgrounds. I save these files as avi. with a resolution of 1440 X 1080. I then bring them back into Premiere Pro for final edit. When I export these video's encoded as mpeg2 theyplay very clear. I am now trying to export as flv. with alpha channel background and the resolution is poor. I working on the transparent background with walk on spokespersons that overlay the HTML page. When In try to play them on my computer the adobe media player is what comes up. I have downloaded flash player but it doesn't select it to play the video. I'm running windows Vista Business platform. What am I doing wrong.
Thanks for the reply.
The capture and editing have already been done in 1440 X 1080. Should I use this resolution rather than trying to bump it up to 1920 X 1080.
Thanks

Subject: Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality
Computer playback generally prefers square pixels. Make sure to set your output resolution to 1920 x 1080 using a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 1.0 or Square.
See if that helps.
