Indesign Export to Multiple Folders?

Hello All-
This is my first post and I hope I've found the right place....I've been digging and can't find an answer to my questions.
I'm wondering if there is anyway, after a datamerge, to export the individual images/records (as jpgs) to specific (multiple) folders?
I'm working on high volume youth sports (football) photos and want to create Memory Mates (composite image w/ players name, number, etc) in bulk.
I have a directory structure like this...
c:\...\Kid1\Image1.jpg,Image2.jpg
c:\...\Kid2\Image1.jpg,Image2.jpg
c:\...\Kid3\Image1.jpg,Image2.jpg
And a properly formated csv that reflects this directory, w/ full files paths for each image....so the data merge works great. The problem is, once the data merge is complete, I need a way to export each record, as a jpg, back to the directory that the images came from. So the final directory would look like this...
c:\...\Kid1\Image1.jpg,Image2.jpg,Kid1MemoryMate.jpg
c:\...\Kid2\Image1.jpg,Image2.jpg,Kid2MemoryMate.jpg
c:\...\Kid3\Image1.jpg,Image2.jpg,Kid3MemoryMate.jpg
good Lord I hope this make sense.
Any help would be greatly apperiacated!

Might be scriptable...

Export Keeping Multiple Folders Intact

I read one work around for this involving creating a temp collection, etc. Is there an easier way?
I would like to export multiple folders keeping the folder structure intact. Tell me there's an easy way to do this.

This plug-in from Tim Armes should do what you ask http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1822 522

Can I export multiple folders at the same time, keeping the album structure

I'm exporting all of my photos from 2010 so far. Is there a way to export multiple folders at the same time, while keeping the existing album structure? It seems that when I try it, iPhoto exports them all to the same folder.
I really don't want to do this one album at a time, and here's why -
I'd like to select all of the albums, then export, using the plugin, to WalMart so that I can order prints.

Check out [iPhotoToDisk|http://www.iphototodisk.com/index.html]

Why not upload to Walmart from iPhoto? Check out the first option here:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Potential [BUG] in PS Touch for Android, v. 1.7.5; can't select multiple images for export in different folders

Can anyone repro this; it's somewhat situational depending on how you organize your projects:
In the project selection user interface, go to export (5th icon from upper right) > choose a desired destination (like Save to Gallery or Camera Roll). Choose a project.
If you have projects residing in multiple folders, try and navigate to another folder by using the "back arrow" icon in the upper left. Once you're out of the folder you just left and try to choose another, PS Touch simply does not respond. (It doesn't lock up; it just doesn't register tapping another folder.) I could have sworn I was able to export images in multiple folder at once before.
Using a Google Nexus 2013 Wi-Fi model with Android Lollipop 5.0.1. I can record a movie if need be illustrating this potential issue.

Update: I've worked out the difference between the two sets of errors I get.
The basic error is this:
ORA-00200: control file could not be created
ORA-00202: control file: '+DBLIVE1'
ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +DBLIVE1
ORA-15001: diskgroup "DBLIVE1" does not exist or is not mounted
ORA-15055: Message 15055 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=ORA
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
However if my init.ora contains the line:
control_files=/opt/oracle/server/10.2.0/dbs/cntrlNEONREL1.dbf
then I instead get the second error:
CREATE DATABASE "NEONREL1"
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-00349: failure obtaining block size for '+DBLIVE1'
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
So basically these must be the same error, just in the second case I'm not trying to put the control file on the ASM so it fails at a different point.
But both errors must be because of the same cause, I suppose.

Export multiple folders while keeping folder structure

I want to export multiple folders at one time. I select the folders in LR and then all the photos in those folders. When I look at the exported photos they're all lumped together (and the keywords are gone, if I do one folder at a time the keywords remain)
Any way to keep the folder structure while exporting multiple folders?
Thanks

Search multiple folders and muiltiple files and combine to single file

I want to search multiple folders for muliple files and combine to single file name. The files I'm searching have same format, but where named
differently in each of there processes. Now I want to combine based upon -SearchFor .. I'm having a problem with -Filter $SearchFor
Code:
Function Search-Files{
Param([String[]]$Locations,[String[]]$SearchFor, $AppendTo)
Begin
If(-Not (Test-Path $AppendTo)){New-Item $AppendTo -ItemType File -Force}
Process
ForEach($Location in $Locations)
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Location -Filter $SearchFor -Recurse
ForEach($File in $Files)
Get-Content -Path $FIles.FullName | Out-File $AppendTo -Append
End{}
Search-Files -Locations "\\servera\public\t1\usa\saleshist\","\\serverb\public\t2\usa\saleshist\",-SearchFor "dodetail-cm.txt","somstr.txt",-AppendTo "\\virt1\Saleshist_data_load_files\saleshdr.load.csv"

I think you might want to use -Include instead of -Filter. Your -Include parameter accepts wildcards, i.e. *.docx or *somstr.txt
Your command to actually append the content should be:
Get-Content -Path $File.FullName | Out-File $AppendTo -Append
You had $Files.FullName which might behave unexpectedly, if at all.
Your actual command has several issues.
Search-Files -Locations "\\servera\public\t1\usa\saleshist\","\\serverb\public\t2\usa\saleshist\" -SearchFor "dodetail-cm.txt","somstr.txt" -AppendTo "\\virt1\Saleshist_data_load_files\saleshdr.load.csv"
You had commas following the lists of locations and searchfor terms, did that even work? Without seeing your source files or your target file I can only advise you so much, but ideally you would import-csv and export-csv. Depending on the contents,
you may be able to get away with get-content and out-file though.
I hope this post has helped!

Any way to export with multiple presets at once?

Hi! Is there any way to export with multiple presets at once? I do a lot of product photography, usually clients send me around 5 to 10 pieces to photograph, and from each photo requires to be exported to about 7 different formats and sizes for different uses. I have a preset for each export, but this requires multiple clicks per export, select the preset, the destination folder, etc..... and at the end I end taking about 1 hour to just export files when if I could just select 1 time a folder of presets and the destination folder just once, then it will take no time to get all oft those exports.
Thanks!

Some of those other photographers have assistants they can task with doing the drudgery.
I would describe what you're wanting scripted multiple exporting, not multiple export presets, because multiple-exports don't necessarily rely on presets, just initiating an Export and clicking on various things for each one.
I assume you have a preset set for each of the 7 format-size-uses variations, and then most of the time consuming part is setting the Choosing the destination folder that gets mirrored to DropBox? You can copy/paste most of the path into the Folder address area after clicking Choose.
Without knowing what your master-photo folders and dropbox-mirror folder names and organization are it's hard to know if you've thought of all the shortcuts you might use or if things are organized in the most efficient manner.
If you're on Windows, maybe something like AutoHotKey macros would help with what you're doing.

I have created a form in InDesign, exported to a pdf, then created an editable form and saved. When I open the form and make changes and save, then reopen the changes are there. If try to email this form as an attachment after editing, the attachment is always minus the edits. ????

Hi chuck,
If you ave created the form and then filling it yourself and saving the form, the filled data should be there when you reopen the same form.
Can you please send the form to me at [email protected] so that I can have a look.

Shortcut to close multiple folders in List View

In the Finder, in list view, I have multiple folders open (using the triangle by the Folder name). I'd like to be able to close all the open folders at once. I know that holding Option while clicking the red Close button on a window will close multiple windows and I want to do something similar with the folders.
I'm sure I knew how to do this once but can't remember now.
Thanks,
Steve

Command-click or otherwise select all of them, and then push the left arrow key.

How can "multiple folders/files" be deleted in ONE PSEXEC COMMAND LINE

I can delete remote folders/files via bat command with psexec (below) but;
It takes a little time because of the 9 different folders. Maybe, looping of txt file can be used for different folders.
So how we can delete multiple folders in ONE PSEXEC COMMAND LINE?
Here my working code but it does its job in 9 steps :(
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\1*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\2*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\3*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\4*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\5*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\6*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\7*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\8*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""
psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\9*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""

I think it is:psexec \\%PC% cmd /c "for /l %%n in (1;1;9) do for /d %%a in ("c:\Users\%%n*.*") do rd /s /q "%%a""

Multiple folders on a single MP3 cd

when I put a MP3 cd in my car stereo, it asks me which folder do you want to play? This leads me to believe that I can put multiple folders on one cd, and I was wondering the logistics of this. Can I simply burn one folder on the cd, pick another play list in itunes and click burn while leaving the same CD in my drive?

We don't support this yet but we are starting to look at what it would take to add this to the product.

Would like to be able to select and move multiple folders in one operation.

Unless I'm missing something really simple here, there doesn't seem to be any easy way of selecting and moving multiple folders at once.
Here's a little example of a simple task I want to do. I presently have a multitude of folders each seperated by the day the photo was taken on. So in my case for a given year I might have maybe 50 folders or so. It's getting a little cluttered, so all I want to be able to do is to take all the folders for one given year and place them in a folder with that year's date. This should be a simple 30 second task, simply select the folders I want moved by either <CTRL> or <SHIFT> clicking them, and then dragging and dropping them into the new folder.
Right now, the only way I've figured how to do this this is to drag and drop each folder one by one, never mind that this is a slow process in itself, but to add to the slowness, whenever I try to drag and drop more than one folder consecutively, I get a message saying ... "Can not move a folder while another move operation is in progress...blah blah". Not that I want this to be the fix, but haven't they heard of queuing?
I've seen people on the net suggest that for this type of task, you should simply move the folders in Windows first and then locate them in Lightroom. Again, unless I'm missing something very simple here, there doesn't seem to be a way to locate multiple missing folders at once. If I have to manually locate each missing folder one by one, then I'd rather just do the drag and drop thing as this would actually be faster.
I've also tried moving the folders from within Windows first and then using the "Synchronize folder" option, yeah sure this works, but I lose any changes that I've done in Develop module. Not what I'm looking for.

Daniel is right. It´s really strange that I can´t move several folders in one move! When I need more space on my laptop I move a group of folders (one folder for every photosession) to an archive. Therefore I really would like to move them in one click, not "baby-sitting" the move of each folder.
