How to get the destination path in an photoshop sdk export plugin when using a batch action?

Hello,
I've written an exporter plugin (not save-as) that exports a given file to a custom format.
I was able to open a file selector dialog and choose a path that is then transported to the saving location.
Now my problem is: Another intended use is batch exporting many files. The user records an action with the export step and then applies a batch on it.
The PS batch window allows you to select the destination to be a directory where the exporter should write the data. Fine.
Now how do I get this path? When running in batch mode the silent flag is set for my plugin so I do not spawn a file selector dialog to annoy the user.
But I am also unable to obtain the path which was selected by the user in the batch window.
The SDK automation plugin Getter has some code to retrieve the path of the file and even that fails as it cannot obtain anything.
PropertyUtils.h has some PIGetWorkPathIndex and PIGetPathName functions but I always get 0 when asking PIGetNumberPaths, and get -1 with PIGetWorkPathIndex.
I would be thankful if somebody could hint me how I can retrieve directories.
It even seems impossible for me to get the path where the file is actually saved. The filter plugin called Propertizer utilizes a function called PIGetDocumentName but this only outputs the file name, not the full path.
(Just to be sure: The file on which the tests run is already saved to disk, if that matters)
Another fun part is: When I record an export step, what is the directory I am exporting into?

Ok, after lots of reading the sdk sample outbound I've realized that or plugin is broken.
When recording an action the outbound plugin stores the current path to gAliasHandle which is then recorded as a scripting parameter. Now when I execute the action I get the alias handle.
However how is this supposed to work with an export plugin and batch processing with a "destination" set to a target? Is this even possible or do I need to double click the export step in the action and "reset" the location even if that causes the entire exporter to run again?

How to get the current path of my application in java ?

how to get the current path of my application in java ?
thanks

To get the path where your application has been installed you have to do the following:
have a class called "what_ever" in the folder.
then you do a litte:
String path=
what_ever.class.getRessource("what_ever.class").toString()
That get you a string like:
file:/C:/Program Files/Cool_program/what_ever.class
Then you process the result a little to remove anything you don't want:
path=path.substring(path.indexOf('/')+1),path.lastIndexOf('/'))
//Might be a little error here but you should find out //quickly if it's the case
And here you go, you have a nice
C:/Program Files/Cool_program
which is the path to your application.

How to get the absolute path of logicalhost server domain on Windows?

My logicalhost server domain behaves strangely. I am reading a file from collaboration definiton, that is located in the logicalhost/is/domains/domain1/config folder. I thought, that this folder is used as an application root folder so I can read files like ./file from there. And it worked.
But then I've installed the domain as a Windows service, restarted the PC. When the domain1 gets started, I get exceptions saying that the file can't be found. Then I restart the domain (in domainmgr.bat) and it works again.
I am pretty sure that using the absolute path will solve this issue, so my first question is: How to get the absolute path of logicalhost server domain on Windows?
And my second question is: Why does this happen?

The default folder for a Windows Service is the system32 folder contrary to the instance root folder when starting it as a normal process.
That's the why, haven't tried the how, but you should be able to get the value by calling System.getProperty("com.sun.aas.instanceRoot").
Hope this helps

How to get the full path instead of just the file name, in �FileChooser� ?

In the FileChooserDemo example :
In the statement : log.append("Saving: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);
�file.getName()� returns the �file name�.
My question is : How to get the full path instead of just the file name,

simply use file.getPath()
That should do it!Thank you !

How to get the application path?

Does some body know how to get the application path in Java? Here is an example about what I'm thinking: Let's imagin the application is on "c:\try" or "c:\ProgramFiles\MyApp". My question is how can I find the path where the application is. Please give an example if you know the answer. Thank you so much.

Those two replies give you some useful directories, it's true, but maybe not what the OP asked. However the OP asked for something that doesn't have a meaning (applications don't have to be "on" any directory, whatever that might mean).
Would the OP like to describe what the actual problem is here?

I have started to get the 150:30 error in Photoshop Elements. I am using English so that should not

I am getting the 150:30 error in Photoshop Elements. I am using English as my language so that should not be an issue. I have restarted the computer but to no avail. I am furious at Adobe for letting this go on so long. I see posts with this same issue from October 2009. You would think that the Adobe engineers could have found a way to resolve this issue by now. There seem to be a lot of people with this problem and it is inexcusable.

Have you already ran the workarounds/solutions mentioned in the link below? try the LicenseRecovery toolkit and see if that helps?

How to get the file path in adf application

hii all,
i have a txt file that i am using in my adf application,
i am passing this txt file through a File Reader, for which i have to mention the file path.
The file is in web-content and when i am hard coding the complete file path i.e C:/JDeveloper/myApp/ViewController/public_html/log.txt
the application is working fine when run on integrated weblogic server.
My requirement is to access this file without giving the static file path, as in case i have to use this application on any other machine..
for that how to mention the file path-
i tried using FacesContext to get the context path :-
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestContextPath();
which gives me
\myApp-ViewController-context-root
after appending public_html\log.txt
I am using the following path to access the file :-
\myApp-ViewController-context-root\public_html\log.txt
again i am getting the java.io.FileNotFoundException
Does anyone know how to use file from inside the web-content without giving the complete path..???
Thanks

Hi,
If you put your file under public_html folder, you can use this code to access the file:
For example file is : log.txt
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath('/log.txt').toString().trim();
Thanks.

How to get the full path of the fmx's directory.

Hi all,
I will ship my project to a customer. So I must install forms runtime at the customer's machine.
I put all of the fmx files of my project into a certain directory at the customer's machine, and I create a desktop shortcut of the forms runtime. In the "start in" field of the shortcut property I put the full path of the directory where I put the fmx files. And in the target field of the shortcut property I put after the ifrun60.exe the name of the fmx file which to call first.
Now , in one of my forms file I want to get the full path of this directory because I must call Ora_Ffi.Load_Library. And the library which I want to load resides on that directory.
So how to get programatically the directory where the fmx files reside.
I know that there is the registry entry FORMS60_PATH, but we plan to ship many projects to that customer; so if I use the FORMS60_PATH variable then there will be an error because there will be many directories. And the customer can launch many of the projects at the same time.
So how to get it.
Thank you very much indeed.

If you are using the d2kwutil library, then you can use the win_api_environment.Get_Working_Directory() function.
If not, I doubt that there is anyway to get it since the get_application_property(current_form) does not return the full path of the form as it used to in prior versions of Oracle forms such as 4.5.
