Illustrator CC removing/renaming finder tags on save.

Hi,
I've found a repeatable bug in Adobe Illustrator CC
I assign a custom tag in the finder to any Adobe Illustrator file, say "current work" in yellow.
It appears in my current work tag folder correctly.
I open the file and make any change, save it and the tag is removed and replaced with just a generic tag saying "yellow"
The file is of course then removed from my Current Work tag folder.
One of the main things in the new Apple Operating system that I was looking forward to in order to help organise my work
was these tags.
The finder and Illustrator are not playing nicely together.
This happens every single time in Illustrator with any file I tag, consistent, repeatable on both my computers.
Illustrator removes the tags which removes one of the main features I was looking forward to in Mavericks.

Running 10.9.2 on Retina 13' Macbook Pro with Illustrator 17.1 and problem still persists. Ex: The file Test.ai is tagged "Active" with red color. After making a change to the file and resaving the tag changes to "Red". If I use a custom tag on a file without a color assigned to it, then a save simply strips the tag away leaving no tag.

How to find out the save as setting information in illustrator cs3?

How to find out the save as setting information in illustrator cs3 through programmatically. I saved the file using the setting like Overprint, EmbedAllFonts, IncludeDocumentThumbnails throgh scripting. But i don't know how to find out the save as setting information(Overprint, EmbedAllFonts, IncludeDocumentThumbnails) whether the checkbox true or not through scripting. Kindly advice me.

Thanks for your response. Some time the operator will set the wrong "save as setting" in the eps file . So i need to check wheather the operator set the correct save as setting or not. If the operator set the wrong save as setting, i need to inform while running the script. So please advice me how to find out the save as setting information of the active document file, and then inform to the operator if any improper "save as setting" occured.

Use Finder Tags with multiple computers

How do we keep Finder Tag names in sync for files saved in Dropbox or iCloud?
After I can add tags to files in my rMBP and assign colours to them, these files are kept in sync with my iMac through Dropbox.
In my iMac, while the new colours are reflected in the same files, the Tag names are not.
Is this how its supposed to work?

To seems problem to be the effect of you rename the defult Finder tags (the ones replacing Finder labels) instead of making new ones.
So this made the trick for me:
1. Created completely new tags whith the names I wanted
2. Gave the new tags colors
3. In Finder settings, removed the default tags from the sidebar and the contextual menu, putting the new ones in their place.
Then at least tagnames - and colors and sidebar settings – was synced via iCloud and Dropbox. I think this will be the case for server volumes as well.

Remove Empty XML Tags using module parameters

Hi All,
In my lanscape I have two PI Systems.
My scenario is an IDOC reaches 1st PI system gets converted into an EDIFACT and then goes to the 2nd PI and from there it gets routed to the respective AS2 Party.
I am using SOAP to pass message between the PI systems and B2B Toolkit's AS2 Adapter for the communication with AS2 party.
The issue is when the message is getting converted from IDOC to EDIFACT there are a few feilds with occurence 1..1 and due to these fields i get an empty XML tag at the output. These empty XML tags give me an error in the B2B Toolkit's AS2 Adapter Receiver Channel
I cannot change the occurence in the structure of the EDIFACT nor can I use an XSLT mapping to remove empty tags before the message reaches the Communication Channel.
I want to know if there are any module parameters which i can use either in SOAP Channel or the AS2 Channel to remove the XML Tags.

Hi Muni,
"1..1 means, you must send some values for that fields. try to find out why these are not getting any values."
This empty tag is expected. Before using B2B Toolkit's AS2 Adapter we used to use Seeburger's AS2 Adpater and the message used to get executed successfully with these empty tags.The issue is coming only when we are using B2B Toolkit's AS2 Adapter.
"if you want to stop sending(the fields which are not needed in target) you can you can disable the fields in the message mapping."
I cannot disable the feild in the mapping as some other message may use this field.
Thanks,
Farhaan

Rename Finder Items from Automator doesn't work correctly!

I made a rename finder items in Mac OS X 10.4 by just using rename finder items task and save as a plug in for finder. It was working fine. I tried to use it in 10.5, but it doesn't really change the names. I created a new one or even tried to modify the workflow, but it still not working. Can someone verify the issue? Thank you.

I can verify the issue, but I have no solution. Very frustrating, as I used to batch rename all the time in just the same way.

Rename Finder Items with Automator in Leopard

I used following automator actions to rename all files contained in selected folders in Mac OS finder:
1. Get Selected Finder Items
2. Get Folder Contents (repeat for each subfolder found option on)
3. Rename Finder Items (Add Text before name, Show action option on)
First two actions were executed flawlessly. Unfortunately after keying in text to be added in front of every file name in text field of popup window on execution of last action, no file name was changed. Then I realized that same actions performed in automator application instead of invoking through Finder's contextual menu worked as expected. So the problem seem to be related to initialization of text value in text field of the action.
I decided to try with new variable feature introduced in Leopard version of automator. Clicking on Variables button next to Actions button in menu bar of Automator, then select following item:
Library > Text & Data > New Storage
I managed to provide a text value for the New Storage variable through "Library > Text > Ask for Text" and "Library > Utilities > Set Value of Variable" actions, but text field in Rename Finder Items action seem to reject the New Storage variable completely. So the attempt to provide text value to the Rename Finder Items action through user initialized variable failed without reason.
May I know how can I make use of variables to set text fields in Rename Finder Items action ? Is the above mentioned failure a confirmed bug of Leopard waiting to be fixed by Apple (after one whole year of beta testing !!) ? Thanks in advance.

I figured out a way to use variables in the Rename Finder Items.
In my case I want to rename the files to a sequential name. I can't link the variable to the "New Name" box in the Automater GUI.
But it helps to know that that the Automator is just creating an XML file and you can edit this directly.
To do this, create the Automator workflow and save it. Give the variable some distinct name like "myVariable".
In Finder, right click the Automator file and select Show Package Contents. Within this folder go to Contents and find the document.wflow file. This is the XML file, so open it with TextEdit or something.
Search the file for your variable name. The first instance of it should be in a section that starts with <key>variables</key>. All the variables will be listed here. Each variable has several lines to define it. The first will be the UUID. The UUID will have a line that is something like: <string>BD464B7A-ACDE-4A63-B595-FAF1DA6DE26E</string>. The BD464B7A-ACDE-4A63-B595-FAF1DA6DE26E is how Automator refers to your variable. Search the file for this UUID string and you will see. Whenever Automator wants to insert the variable, it will enter $(BD464B7A-ACDE-4A63-B595-FAF1DA6DE26E).
Copy this string, with the $() surrounding it. Close the wflow file. Now you can go back to Automator itself and paste it wherever you want your variable to appear, even if you can't normally insert the variable into that field.

Workflow and/ or script to rename finder items using a .txt or a .csv file as a reference?

Can someone assist me, I am looking for a workflow and/ or script that would allow me to rename finder items using a .txt or a .csv file as a reference for the new naming convention?

THANK YOU!!!!
I have taken your recommendation and enabled the script menubar item. I also tweeked the script as you recommended, I will play with both options to see which I prefer.   I thank you again for the quick turn around on this.
If I am to understand your comment correctly about placing the .csv file in the same folder as the files to be renamed I should modify the script as such.
REMOVE:
                    set csvFile to choose file with prompt "Select the CSV file." of type "public.text"
                    set workingFolder to (choose folder "Select the folder to be processed") as text
                    set fileList to (POSIX path of (files of folder workingFolder whose visible is true and name begins with "untitled"))
REPLACE WITH:
                    set csvList to paragraphs of (read "/path/to/csvfile.csv")
                      set fileList to (POSIX path of (files of folder "/pah/to/folder" whose visible is true andname begins with "untitled"))
After reading this and attempting to modify it I am missing one piece of markup or the arrangement of the markup.
Please find the modified script with options:
-- change this to specify the correct csv delimiter
set splitDelimiter to ","
-- change this to specify the file name join character
set recombineDelimiter to "_"
-- choose the csv file
set csvFile to choose file with prompt "Select the CSV file." of type "public.text"
-- choose the folder
set workingFolder to (choose folder "Select the folder to be processed") as text
-- csv contents as list
set csvList to paragraphs of (read csvFile)
--set csvList to paragraphs of (read "/path/to/csvfile.csv")
tell application "System Events"
-- list of files in alphabetical order
     set fileList to (POSIX path of (files of folder workingFolder whose visible is true and name begins with "untitled"))
-- set fileList to (POSIX path of (files of folder "/path/to/folder" whose visible is true and name begins with "untitled"))
     repeat with i from 1 to count of fileList
-- get a file from the file list and note its extension
          set currentFile to file (item i of fileList)
          set fileExtension to name extension of currentFile
-- get a line from the csv list, split it at the delimiter, and recombine it
          set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, splitDelimiter}
          set newFileNamePieces to text items of (item i of csvList)
          set my text item delimiters to recombineDelimiter
          set newFileName to newFileNamePieces as text
          set my text item delimiters to oldTID
-- write the new name back out to the file
          set name of currentFile to (newFileName & "." & fileExtension)
     end repeat
end tell

Corrupted files with automatic red finder tags! :(

Hello,
it's for some time that my mac corrupts files, particularly those videos stored on various hard disk randomly. Each file has a red finder tags and I am not able to open them though I see it size that seems ok...I tried to check hard disk but this not solve problems...
Sorry for my bad english...

Any suggestions?
Thanks

I have today encountered a problem opening old Keynote presentations on my new iMac running Leopard. It cannot open any of the old presentations on my machine because it says they are damaged.
I also could not open an old Pages file because it says the file is corrupt and there was a .xml missing. I later managed to open this by searching for it directly through the application "Open" command and following the search path. It then gave the usual " This was created by a previous version of Pages..." and the Save as warning, but it did open when I went this route. (I have now saved this document as Pages 08 and all is well).
There seems to be a bug in the iWork '08 suite when it comes to older documents.

Rename finder item withouth user to choose find string.

Hi,
I've built an automator workflow in wich I create a standard folder /w subfolders. Automator then renames the folders, by rename finder item with replace text.
The new name is a projectname an user can give in. But I don't want the user to change the find string. Is there a way to work this out?
I've tried to do an ask for text, but I don't know to how I can put the result into the replace field?
Thx,

Find in Open/Save Dialog boxes

The find in open/save dialog boxes seems to return unexpected results. Say I have two folders one called "Down under" and the other called "Down under 2". If I ask it to find "down" it only returns the file "Down under 2" and other files whose content may have the word "down" in them. The folder "Down under 2" only has jpegs in it. None have "Down" in the file name.
So what gives?

Surely someone knows what is going on in spotlight. If I use Easyfind for the search it comes up with both files folders correctly.

How Can I Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
Hope this helps!

My finder tags won't work

Hello, i run osx 10.9.3 on my macbook retina and have been using the finder tags happily for the past few months. recently though they started not working. when i tag a file under red for example, i see the file itself getting colored red, but it won't show up in the red folder. and when i try to untag a red file in the red folder , it won't do it. it's very frustreating.
also i never used the colors other than red, but i just checked the other color tags and there are a bunch of random files tagged under different colors in those folders and i did not do them.
so, anyone have an idea?

Let's start with your wireless router. I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.
