How to create an action to save the file as the name of the selected layer

I have a .psd with several layers, and I would like to save multiple versions of the document based on the layer name. Is there a way to tell Photoshop to do this through an action? Also, how can I get rid of the "filename_copy" filenaming behavior. I'd like to hit a button and have the file saved as the layer's name while overwriting the existing document without renaming it to whatever_copy.

The bad news is that it's not possible with an action.  An action simply can't access a layer name.
But the good news is that it's possible with a script.  Almost anything's possible with a script.
But the bad news is I'm no script expert.
But the good news is that there are script experts who hang out here.
The even better news is that there's a Photoshop scripting forum.
Best of luck!

  • 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
    Regards

  • How to create authorisation object for save button please help in abap

    how to create authorisation object for save button please help in abap

    Hi
    In general different users will be given different authorizations based on their role in the orgn.
    We create ROLES and assign the Authorization and TCODES for that role, so only that user can have access to those T Codes.
    USe SUIM and SU21 T codes for this.
    Much of the data in an R/3 system has to be protected so that unauthorized users cannot access it. Therefore the appropriate authorization is required before a user can carry out certain actions in the system. When you log on to the R/3 system, the system checks in the user master record to see which transactions you are authorized to use. An authorization check is implemented for every sensitive transaction.
    If you wish to protect a transaction that you have programmed yourself, then you must implement an authorization check.
    This means you have to allocate an authorization object in the definition of the transaction.
    For example:
    program an AUTHORITY-CHECK.
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT <authorization object>
    ID <authority field 1> FIELD <field value 1>.
    ID <authority field 2> FIELD <field value 2>.
    ID <authority-field n> FIELD <field value n>.
    The OBJECT parameter specifies the authorization object.
    The ID parameter specifies an authorization field (in the authorization object).
    The FIELD parameter specifies a value for the authorization field.
    The authorization object and its fields have to be suitable for the transaction. In most cases you will be able to use the existing authorization objects to protect your data. But new developments may require that you define new authorization objects and fields.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/52/67167f439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
    To ensure that a user has the appropriate authorizations when he or she performs an action, users are subject to authorization checks.
    Authorization : An authorization enables you to perform a particular activity in the SAP System, based on a set of authorization object field values.
    You program the authorization check using the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK.
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TRVL_BKS'
    ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'
    ID 'CUSTTYPE' FIELD 'B'.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE E...
    ENDIF.
    'S_TRVL_BKS' is a auth. object
    ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02' in place 2 you can put 1,2, 3 for change create or display.
    The AUTHORITY-CHECK checks whether a user has the appropriate authorization to execute a particular activity.
    This Authorization concept is somewhat linked with BASIS people.
    As a developer you may not have access to access to SU21 Transaction where you have to define, authorizations, Objects and for nthat object you assign fields and values. Another Tcode is PFCG where you can assign these authrization objects and TCodes for a  profile and that profile in turn attached to a particular user.
    Take the help of the basis Guy and create and use.
    Regards

  • 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 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,

    For IMAP mail like Gmail, you can use the Edit button to create new folder. It doesn't work for POP mail.

    Yes ... and it is
    Since you're in the Mountain Lion forum, it is indeed simple to create a "Saved" folder on your Mac and save emails into it.  You should create the "Saved" folder using Finder.
    The fact that you just got an iPad mini is completely irrelevant to the discussion as it stands.

  • HT1461 For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

    For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

    Why don't you  (generic most every post lacks critical details) be clear and say you never used Mac OS etc.
    But, I did try to anticipate and give you what you needed.
    Excel is one of those rare programs that, if they are extremely large complex spreadsheets still tend to run better under Office for Windows.
    A VM won't do for that but it does make it easier to transition. As in: install Windows natively, then use VMware Fusion or Parallels to attach to the partition and OS. That way you can run Windows as Guest OS VM under Mac; and still run Windows natively dual-boot when needed.
    The word "see" was not what you wanted, was it? really? you want to open and make changes and keep it on Windows side rather than Save As or copy to Mac
    You use Windows and don't know it has NTFS (NT FileSystem)?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_File_System (HFS) native file system used by Apple
    And there is much more UEFI style "bios" and other things I suppose.
    Great thing about Google and encyclopedias or dictionary, you can look up what you don't know.

  • How to save HTML file with images present in the server to local machine

    Hi all
    In my application i have a option for the user to save HTML files with images present in the server. The HTML file is getting saved but the images are not being saved.
    The code i am using is below :-
    l
                        File fname = new File(filePath);
                        if(!fname.exists())                return;
                        FileInputStream istr = null;

                        try { 
                             istr = new FileInputStream(fname);
                             ostr = response.getOutputStream();
                             int curByte=-1;

                                  ostr.write(curByte);
                             ostr.flush();
    Can anyone suggest what i need to do
    regards

    The client should probably parse the html that comes down, and look for <img> links, and request those of the server as well.
