How to begin with Photoshop scripting

After years of working with Photoshop I have started to device my own Photoshop scripts to automate my workflow.
My search for formal Photoshop script training produced no concrete results. In the past the Photoshop World Conference has offered Photoshop Scripting workshops.
Acquiring Photoshop scripting skills requires detective work and perseverance. The results are gratifying when a custom Photoshop script adds additional functionality and efficiency to your workflow.
Below is a list of resources I have compiled learn Photoshop scripting.

How to BEGIN with KM

hi all,
i need to implement KM. EP is already in place, installed and configured. does KM means to access documents from some folder on my PC? If it is so...how do i do? do we have to create seperate folders in my PC or anywhere else? If not, how do i start off with. do i have to start with creating folders? or how?
i have dloaded DMS connector also. how do i start using it.
please help
chan

Hi,
KM is used to file all data of a company central. So everybody can use the documents/the knowledge of the others...
How can you integrate the documents?
--> The integration and access to the decentralized documents of the different file systems occur by the so called repository managers. In "Content Management" you can upload documents to the repository framework, it is in charge of the physical file.
Content Management --> Explorer --> Documents --> Folder --> New --> Upload
The TREX is in charge for classification of documents and search...
I hope I could give you a "little" insight into the SAP KM...

Fuji RAW "RAF" How to read with photoshop?

Anyone tell me how to read a RAF file please?
I am using PS Elements 8 and a Fuji X20 with *.RAF files.
The PS e8 is fully updated.

And we've been trying to inform you, even in light of your childish insults, that the world is not like that, no matter how much you stamp your feet and cry.
Try to understand that a number of very smart people here, who have thought about this a lot longer than you have and quite likely understand things better than you do, are advising you that you're off base.
You've been given the facts, including that the camera makers are purposefully creating unique file formats for each new camera they make, a practice which costs companies like Adobe significant engineering effort and time to decode. Adobe has even developed a fully featured, open raw file specification (the DNG standard) that the camera makers could use to solve this problem directly, but nooo, most of them won't use it. So you blame Adobe for not keeping your ancient software current, free of charge, and for some reason you seem to feel a software company shouldn't be allowed to profit from their work in improving their product.
You paid Fuji, the devious one in this situation, but you refuse to pay Adobe because they didn't reach into your computer and connect all the dots for you? You seem to think that someone - anyone - other than you needs to be your system integrator. As stated, the world is not like that.
Beyond that, you apparently don't have an interest in discussing how to get good results through the DNG conversion process, which despite your ranting folks here are still willing to discuss. But it seems you're too smart to suspect that your own inability to operate the raw converter effectively could be the problem there.
Your choices are clear. Pay to play, use the free product that invokes a bit of extra work, or go elsewhere. I'm sorry I did not list 3. Go away in my first response; my mistake.

How to read with a script in LDAP Active Directory

I there anyone have a perl/XML script for free download whitch used to search and read contact in LDAP directory.
Our company not chose the operation witch consit to point CM on Active Directory ,they prefers to write or find script perl/XML to do that.
Is it possible??
thanck you for your help

I am interested in the script that you created too. I have some LDAP books on the way and will try to learn scripting but I have no experience in it and any little push in the right direction would be much appreciated. We are trying to integrate AD with CCM which we did with CCM 4.0.2 but now the Directories button does not work, which we new it wasn't going to, but they want me to create several menu listings say
1.
2.Standard Cisco Missed, Placed and Received Calls
3.
4. Corporate that will automatically search the entire AD.
5. This will search only in OU X
6. This will search in only OU y
7.
8. This will search only in UN to the Nth
If this is possible I would be in your debt if I could just get a sample to give me a push in the right direction.

How can I find the Scripts directory from a script?

Hello all! After playing with Photoshop scripting, I'm now playing with AE too, and in my first try I've stuck in finding the scripts path from the script itself.
In Photoshop, there was this piece of code that somebody in the Photoshop Scripting forum kindly shared:
var scriptsPath = new Folder (app.path + "/" + localize ("$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts"));
But this line doesn't work in After Effects because app.path variable doesn't exist (very funny, I thought Photoshop and After Effects shared the same basic app variables) and the path given to the "localize" function is wrong in AE (I think "$$$" means nothing to it).
Can somebody give me a clue about how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance :-)

This script shows a couple of examples you can try. The first part shows a way to get the folder the running script is in. The second gets the main AE app folder although I don't know if appFolder works on Windows (you'd still need to add /Scripts on Mac or /SupportFiles/Scripts on Win).
var thisScript = new File($.fileName);
var containingFolder = new Folder(thisScript.parent.absoluteURI);
alert("This script is in " + containingFolder.absoluteURI);
var appFolder = new Folder(Folder.appPackage.parent.absoluteURI);
alert("The app folder is at " + Folder.decode(appFolder.absoluteURI));

How do I stop Apple Script from leaving a Text.txt file with each image downloaded using Photo Downloader in Adobe Photoshop CS4_Bridge???

I use Adobe Photoshop CS4_Bridge _Photo Downloader to import images from CF Cards into my 11" Mac Book Air. I have an issue with the Text files
that seem to accompany each and every image that I do not need. How do I stop Apple Script (which I assume is the culprit in this case) from interferring with this process.

Your iWeb Site is stored not on your iDisk, but on a file named Domain.sites in your ~/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ Folder.
If , for whatever reason, you wipe your HD and/or lose this file (Get a new computer, Re-Install your OS, Stolen Laptop, Crashed HD, Etc.) without backing-up your Domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your iWeb sites from scratch again.
Of course you can edit your Published HTML files in a different program such as Dreamweaver or even Text Edit. You just can't edit Published HTML files in iWeb. Not at this time at least.
Use iWebBackup to backup your Domain file to a Blank CD or DVD. Backing up your Domain file to another folder on your computer is not fully backing it up. If your computer gets stolen you still lost the file but if you have your Domain file burned onto a CD you have a backup!
Download iWebBackup Here
You can use iWebExtender to automatically consolidate your files into one folder and delete multiple images.

!! Help for a looong script... begin with compare name of files, date...

Hello Everybody, and thank you very much if you can answer to my little problem
So here is the beginning of my script. At the end it will be a script to batch convert Psd files to jpeg in different resolutions, in different folders.
I wanted to understand subtlety some parts of applescript, but I have to say that I failed for this case.
So the part I am looking for is to compare files between two folders, not exactly like syncing.
In the first Folder, psds files.
In the second, Jpgs, wich have been made from the psds, with a 2nd part of the script, batch to jpeg.
I want to compare these files to tell the 2nd script not to batch them to jpeg if they have not been modified.
So the steps I would like to write :
tell applescript to :
1 -
get every files of folder "psd" without invisibles
get only the names of these files without extension
get the modification date of these files
2-
get every files of folder "jpg" without invisibles
get only the names of these files without extension
get the modification date of these files
3- compare the names of the files in psd's and jpg's folders (it's why I didn't want the extension)
if some or all Psds already exist in jpg folder, then
compare the modification dates of these same files
and if these files in psd folder are more recent than in jpeg folder, then
get only these modified files in psd folder, and, also the new ones (not existing in jpg folder).
and --
4 - launch my batchconverttojpg for this result
(at this moment I only want to find steps 1, 2 and 3)
--- It is important for me to do that, because the files in psd's folder will always change, and I can have really big files (like 500 or 800 mo each), and it will be really faster to batch only modified files…
--- Here is the beginning of the script I am writing, but … bug bug bug, I don't find the good way to write that…
set folder1 to "Macintosh HD:Users:Me:Desktop:test batch convert-script:psds" as string
set folder2 to "Macintosh HD:Users:Me:Desktop:test batch convert-script:jpegs:Jpegs" as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
tell application "System Events"
set imgsources to every file of folder folder1 whose name does not start with "." and (file type is "psd" or file type is "JPG" or name extension is "psd" or name extension is "jpg")
set imgcibles to every file of folder folder2 whose name does not start with "." and (file type is "psd" or file type is "JPG" or name extension is "psd" or name extension is "jpg")
end tell
--tell application "Finder"
repeat with i from 1 to the count of imgsources without invisibles
set img to (item i of imgsources as alias)
set infosource to info for img
set nameimg1 to name of infosource -- recupere le nom de limage + extension
--set extimg2 to items -1 thru -4 of nameimg2 as text -- recupere l'extension
set nimg1 to items 1 thru -5 of nameimg1 as text -- recupere le nom
set moddateimg1 to modification date of infosource -- recupere la date de modif
repeat with i from 1 to the count of imgcibles without invisibles
set img2 to (item i of imgcibles as list) -- recupere tous les elements du dossier
set infocible to info for img2 -- recupere les infos
set nameimg2 to name of infocible -- recupere le nom de limage de destination
set extimg2 to items -1 thru -4 of nameimg2 as text -- recupere l'extension
set nimg2 to items 1 thru -5 of nameimg2 as text -- recupere le nom
set moddateimg2 to modification date of infocible -- recupere la date de modif
tell application "Finder"
if nimg1 = nimg2 as text then
--set nimg1 to nimg1 as string
--set nimg2 to nimg2 as string
--set name of img2 to folder2 & ":" & nimg2 & "-" & "2" & extimg2 as text
set name of img2 to nimg2 & "-" & "2" & extimg2
-- I am just trying to rename the file at this step.
-- After this, I will compare the dates, and then, batch convert.
end if
end tell
end repeat
end repeat
So if one of you have the good solution It will be a miracle for me
I have to say that if I wrote this script in a simple way like that, it's to be able to understand what I do, or to understand the script after 6 month, without thinking about it…
Thank you very much for your answers
Fred

Ok so there are a lot of things I didn't know about some details… And I see that I will never have succeed to write something like that…
I don't really understand why to "set psdNames to --> {}" this last detail is unknown for me…
And if I understand, the thing I missed is to do a listindex of the items ? it's why I didn't succeed to compare the files ?
Then I though that it could be interesting for you or differents users to see the result. I think it works perfectly now.
Of course, I am not professional in applescript editing, so if you have some comments or modifications, do not hesitate to post them here
Thanks again to Red_Menace !
Fred

In Safari How to open an Image with PhotoShop

Hi everyone.
I need your help, advise...
I have a html page with this tag:
Image
CFD is a Share
If I use Explorer when I click the link (using the File Helpers) the image is open with PhotoShop. I need the same functionality in Safari, is there a way to do that...?
Or how can I accomplish this task?
Thank you for your help.
jhpe.

Thanks for your response. I've just started with Javascript scripting in Photoshop so I'm still just a bit confused though .
The code you've provided will return the location on my computer of where the script resides, am I right? And since the script and the images are in the same folder, this should mean a relative address is obtainable?
How could I use this in connection with:
var fileRef = new File("image01.jpg");
var docRef = app.open(fileRef);
where image01,jpg is the image I'd like to open in the same folder as the script?
Thanks again for your help.

How to write a shell script to execute a procedure with out parameter

Hi,
How to write a shell script to execute a procedure with out parameter.
here is my procedure
PROCEDURE sample(invar1 VARCHAR2,
invar2 VARCHAR2,
invar3 VARCHAR2,
invar4 VARCHAR2,
ecode out number);
Any example really helpfull
Thanks in advance

Or if we're passing values in, maybe something like:
Test procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE p (myin IN VARCHAR2, myout OUT VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
    myout :=
        CASE myin
            WHEN 'A' THEN 'APPLE'
            WHEN 'B' THEN 'BANANA'
            ELSE 'STARFRUIT'
        END;
END;Shell script:
#!/bin/bash
my_shell_variable=$1
unset ORACLE_PATH
sqlplus -s un/pw@db <<-EOF
set feedback off pause off
set pagesize 0
set autoprint off
VAR out varchar2(30)
VAR myin varchar2(30)
exec :myin := '${my_shell_variable}'
BEGIN
p(:myin, :out);
END;
print out
exit
EOFTest:
/Users/williamr: xx A
APPLE
/Users/williamr: xx B
BANANA
/Users/williamr: xx
STARFRUITObviously in a real script you would not hardcode the password or let it show in a "ps" listing.
