JPEG scripting export with renaming

script should export indesign document pages as jpgs and name each jpg based on the job number (ABCD123456) + the dimensions of jpg from metadata. jpg should be 72dpi at maximum quality RGB. (eg. ABCD123456_300x250.jpg)
name of active (open) indesign file:
ABCD123456_DATA MERGE_ALL.indd (multiple page document)
export jpgs into user specified folder or automatic folder created based on folder name or job number:
example folder name: ABCD123456_jpgs
jpg names will be
ABCD123456_DATA MERGE_ALL.jpg
ABCD123456_DATA MERGE_ALL1.jpg
ABCD123456_DATA MERGE_ALL2.jpg
change document (jpg) name to:
ABCD123456_widthxheight.jpg (eg. ABCD123456_300x250.jpg)
can pixel dimensions be pulled from metadata?

Have been trying to export versions to a friend in the UK as JPEG. He receives them as bmp and no Metadata. Tried all the JPEG settings in Image Export with no success.

Ernie-
Thanks for responding...but still have a oroblem. Here's what I'm doing:
In Aperture I choose a "version" that has been Adjusted (croped, etc.).
- Go to "File"...'Export"..."Version"
- In next window for "Export preset" I choose "JPEG-Fit within 1024x1024"
- Click on "Export version"
The exported version then showes up in "Finder" under "Pictures"
- Next I open "Mail" (version 5.2)
- Adderss email to friends in England.
- Click on attachment (paper clip)
- Choose my "version" from "pictures"
- Back in Mail, click on "Format"..."Make Plain Text"
- Send
My friends receive it as "bmp", not JPEG, with no Metadata.
If I do the same procedure but under "File" choose "Export Master", they receive it as JPEG and also the Metadata.....BUT, of course, no Adjustments, such as croping, that were made to the "Version".
What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to save the "Version" as a "Master" and then send it as a "Master"?
Thanks,

Help with Report Script export

Hi All,
I am trying to automate report script export using maxl.

Can someone please point me in right direction.
Thanks in advance.

>>Cameron did revisit the use of MDX.
^^^I did. And I didn't say it was wrong. Only that there is no blanket rule better for MDX vs DATAEXPORT vs report scripts. I suppose you were saying that.
What I did see was:
1) Large number of output rows tends to favor report scripts
2) Large amounts of data (particularly if in a BSO database and suppressing lots of data) tends to favor MDX.
Which is really the best (read fastest) depends on the extraction requirements in question. Kind of stinks but there it is.

Essbase export with a "string" appended with all account dimension members

Hi Everyone ,
can any one please suggest , how i can do my essbase export with a string appended with all account dimension members.
i have tried more options but it doesn't looks working. i tried it by report scripts using RENAME function , but it works for 1 member at a time..
please suggest !
thanks

Hi,
If you're looking for the ability to append different strings, then you should probably be looking to an external process.
If you're looking to append the same string, I can think of one way. Make your report script fixed-width (that way you always know which character in the line you're changing) and then utilize the MASK command. (you can find it in the Tech Ref under Report Commands)

Using Script Task to rename an excel sheet.

I'm trying to use an SSIS Script Task to rename an excel sheet.
I've found several code samples on the net but most don't compile correctly and my knowledge of VB.net or C# isin't strong enough to fix the issues. I suspect they work but not for SSIS 2012 possibly.
Found the sample below which shows no errors at design time, but fails with an Invocation error so I'm unable to even trap what the error is to help in resolving the issue.
Does anyone have any sample code that they KNOW WORKS in SSIS 2012 or can see what the problem is ?
Dim oMissing As Object = System.Reflection.Missing.Value
        Dim xl As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass()
        Dim xlBook As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
        Dim xlSheet As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet
        Dim laPath As String = "C:\Test.xlsx"
        Try
            xlBook = DirectCast(xl.Workbooks.Open(laPath, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, _
            oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, _
            oMissing, oMissing, oMissing), Workbook)
            xlSheet = DirectCast(xlBook.Worksheets.Item(1), Worksheet)
            xlSheet.Name = "Sheet1"
            xlBook.Save()
            xl.Application.Workbooks.Close()
            Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString(), "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
            Dts.Events.FireError(1, ex.TargetSite.ToString(), ex.Message.ToString(), "", 0)
            Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Failure
        End Try
Thanks.

Why do you need a script task for this? You can define the sheetname at the time of data transfer itself by creating a new sheet with required name

Resizing Script Exports in Low Quality

Hello. A while back I found an image resizing script on these forums. Recently it's JPEG outputs have seemed to be on low quality, like 30%. How can I change this script-application to export resized images in a higher quality?
Thanks, and the script is below.
on open some_items
repeat with this_item in some_items
try
rescaleand_save(thisitem)
end try
end repeat
end open
to rescaleand_save(thisitem)
tell application "Image Events"
launch
set the target_height to 256
-- open the image file
set this_image to open this_item
set typ to this_image's file type
copy dimensions of this_image to {current_width, current_height}
if current_height is greater than current_width then
scale this_image to size target_height
else
-- figure out new height
-- y2 = (y1 * x2) / x1
set the new_width to (current_width * target_height) / current_height
scale this_image to size new_width
end if
tell application "Finder" to set new_item to ¬
(container of this_item as string) & "256_" & (name of this_item)
save this_image in new_item as typ
end tell
end rescaleandsave

You can't control the jpeg compression quality using Image Events. You can with iMagine Photo. iMagine Photo is free, and is like a more powerful version of Image Events.
You can read about iMagine Photo here:
http://www.yvs.eu.com/imagine.html
You can download iMagine Photo from here:
http://www.yvs.eu.com/downloading.html
iMagin Photo documentation is here:
http://www.yvs.eu.com/documentation.html
Follows is a script that will allow you to specify the compression quality while scaling. The quality difference between maximum and lossless is tiny while the file size difference is quite large so I don't normally recommend lossless.
The script does not copy the exif information to the scaled image file, but iMagine Photo can copy the exif information, and or modify certain exif types.
The script replaces the contents of the original file - so beware.

---- begin script
property theScale : 0.5 -- 50% scaling

How do I stop Illustrator automatically adding numbers to file name when exporting with artboard?

I need to export with artboard. Illustrator automatically adds a number to my original file name. It won't even let me replace the old file. It is extremely annoying and makes flow with other programs really hard because they can't auto update, since the file name changes. When you have multiple files, you can't be manually renaming all the time. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.

This has been discussed a few times, and here is a summary of the usual solutions.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2989508#2989508
What is it EXACTLY you are trying to do. Are you trying to export a single page from filename.ai and make it filename.psd, (without any number afterwards). In that case you could delete the extra artboards prior to export, and then you won't have to checked use artbaords as there is only one page. Otherwise I would plan ahead so your end result will be filename-01.jpg, filename-02.jpg, and then everytime you use export artbaords those names will replace.
I am happy with the function as is, and would prefer to have a serial number automatically after the name when checking use artboards. But sounds liek you and others desire more options and thte ability to turn off adding to the filename.

Is there a way to trace back an indesign document from which a certain jpeg was exported?

I have a jpeg image that was exported from indesign a long time ago. I no longer know where the indesign file is located or it's name, but I need to edit the text of the jpeg and the only way to do that is by editing the original indesign document and reexporting it. Is there a way to trace back an indesign document from which a certain jpeg was exported?

Depending on how the text interacts visually with the image, it might be possible to use the fill property of the content-aware deletion feature of recent Photoshop versions to remove the text with little or no evidence of the deletion, then apply text over the graphic however you like.

Videos in iPhoto used to export with correct date, no they don't.

Hello, I use iPhoto a lot. About every 6 months I rename and export my photos and videos to a separate portable hard drive for safe storage.
I am doing that right now, but have noticed that my videos do not export with the correct date (changes the date to the export date), and therefore the videos are not going to be in the right order, and will not have the correct date on my backup files. The pictures export properly with correct date. Just the videos are the problem.
This problem did not exist before. What has changed? Is there a way to export my videos and retain the correct date again?
Thank you!

Thank you for the quick reply Terence!
Is this something new for Maverick, or new iPhoto update? I have always been able to export video with the correct date. Even when I imported it back into iPhoto later, the correct date was there. I think I updated to Maverick after my last renaming and exporting session.
I have found that if I drag the video from iPhoto to my desktop, it keeps the correct date on the file and the video is intact. So there must be some sort of "metadata" in the file that has the correct date?? You probably have the knowledge to experiment with this??
Just seems weird, because for years it was just fine. Now it is not.
How did the videos used to keep the correct date?
Thank you.

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.

Troubleshooting PostPrepare script failed with exit code 1

i get a 'PostPrepare' script failed with exit code '1' message on one of the bundles, and i think i am missing some obvious thing
it is a simple file bundle, to distribute a pdf printer:
it distributes 2 files:
ADIST.PPD to /usr/share/cups/model
pdf-printer to /usr/lib/cups/backend
(script based upon Cool Solutions: A CUPS PDF Printer for your SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop
then it should execute a pre-installation script that executes:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
rccups restart
mkdir -p /export/share/pdf
chmod -R 777 /export
lpadmin -p Desktop-PDF -v pdf-writer:/export/share/pdf/ -E -P /usr/share/cups/model/ADIST5.PPD -D "PDF Writer for CUPS" -L "PDF on desktop"
manually placing the files on these locations and executing the script works fine
on the machine i get (device set to log debug and above)

questions:
where are the temporary files copied to?
where/how can i find what might be causing the preinstall error?
should i delete previous versions of the bundle in zlm

until you delete the previous version in zlm and do a rug ref... or is this as designed
When you make changes to the bundle you need to apply them. That creates a new version and then you need to deploy that new version. Apply and deploy are on the same page. But I guess you know that.
If you already did that and still had problems, it might be the zen loader that needs a little bit more time. Once you hit deploy, a zen queue entry gets created that informs the zen loader to update the bundle xml file in the file repository. That file is delivered to the managed device when it queries for bundle information. So if that bundle xml contains the old version, the client will see that.
Problems here can be that the zen loader simply needs a few seconds longer then when you change to the device and run rug ref. Or there can be other queue entries that get processed and the bundle xml update is just in the queue and waiting. The zen loader has 5 slots for processing queue entries.
On the zlm server you can run "zlman ql I" for in progress entries and "zlman ql N" for new state entries that ned to be processed.
Or you can use the short script I posted (Cool Solutions: Monitor ZLM queue entries with Nagios) that shows you in one line how many and what type of queue entries currently exist. This is what I always use to get a overview about the queue status.

Is it possible to store script settings with InDesign file?

Hi,
I have some crazy idea: is it possible to store script settings with InDesign file?
In that case scripters will be able to store those settings with file, and when script runs - it can check if those setting exists - if so - script can run without showing dialogue with parameters... (as all necessary parameters stored with indesign file), and of course we can force InDesign to show script parameters dialogue if we run it with alt/option key pressed while running this script. Maybe even different scripts will be able to share those settings and interact with each other.. we will be able to have settings that will be saved with file, or temp settings for current document or session (till InDesign is closed). With eventListeners and startup scripts we will be able to do scripts that would be able to check for updates, and automatically execute when we placing images and text, and so on.. this can be a whole InDesign scripting framework, that allow to write scripts that will use same libraries and ui so we don't have to write everything from scratch everytime and just included required libs..
so here is 2 main questions for now:
1) is it possible to store script settings with .indd file
2) who is intrested in creation InDesign scripting framework (because this only makes sense if many people will use it)
PS: I know that it's possible to store settings in external file, but this time I'm interested only for saving params with .indd

Export with Previous... does not export like previous!

Hello,
I As far as I remenber, "Export with Previous..." always exported like the previous export. Unfortunatly, since some times, this function exports only to my "Full - Tiff8" settings.
Is there any way to fix this settings ?
I am using Lightroom 3.5 on MacOS 10.6.8 64bit.
Thanks for you help

Which file do you get ?
Thanks
1. Selected an image and chose to export it to my desktop as a JPEG.
2. Selected the same image and exported it to my desktop as a TIFF.
3. Using the same image, right-clicked and exported with previous after deleting both images from my desktop. Result was a TIFF image, as expected.
Works for me, not sure what you might be doing wrong or misunderstanding.I have never had a problem with "Export with previous." It is always used the settings that I last configured using the full export dialog. I have been using Lightroom since version 2, am currently using version 4.1.
