[JS] InDesign Watched Folders? waiting for some new document

Hi Everyone
I wrote a script [JS][InD] which checks folders in search of any files and then process them. It mades PDF files and moves original files to a "processed" folder.
Now I want this script to run in the background by certain periods of time (i.e. 10 seconds) without user interaction. Just like the "Watched folders" function on Acrobat Distiller.
Has anybody some suggestion or solution for this?
Thank you for your help
Daniel

Hi,
It's funny because I tried just right now on my own. As I was looking for help on that topic and then I saw your post :-)
The bad news is that I failed to reach that objective. My thought was to use the startup script folder placing a script that will wait for an amount of time and then check for a folder for specific files.
Alas, it seems that the "waiting" process overides Indesign  and then the user can't use its software :-(
I hope someones here as a solution.
Bye Loic

    The other stuff that is showed of on my signature are allready owned.
    I saw many reviews of the motherboard and they said that "Its a Must Have"    in Anantech and other ones, But in this forums i saw post saying that there are many problems with.  
    please Make your opinions.
    Thanks   

    Yea, I agree with whats going on in this thread...at first I was having problems too with the same board (new to MSI and AMD) but did some research and raised the chipset memory a wee little bit (hardocp review had it at 1.75v to get to a 375fsb - wow).  I am glad to see you didn't make the mistake I made and went with better memory especially if you plan to oc.  I was on a tight budget at the time and am getting decent results now for the ram that I have at the price I got it at ($86).  The bios may have some issues with the ht multiplier but when I raised the chipset voltage, i got over this 219 hump and can post up to 225 with ht mult set at 5 (others told me not to go past 1000 htt while others said I should be able to go to 1100 htt - who knows).  Well, it all comes down to performance and at 222 with the ht mult set at 3, 4 or 5 doesn't change my 3d and pc marks much as you see below.  I think the sweet spot is anywhere between 600 and 900 htt setting.
    I was really eyeing the ram that you bought and would love to see some of your test results before I go out and buy the same ram...--  -- need sunglasses when I look left on your posts though...lol

  • I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

    No, you should not.  There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

  • My credit card was stolen,since i cancelled the card and waiting for a new one i cant update any of my apps because of the billing info is incorrect,how can i update without my new card?

    my credit card was stolen,since i cncelled and waiting for a replacement i cant update any apps or dl any apps because the billing info says its incorrect now,how can i update and dl while waiting for my new card?

    It would be best for you to open iTunes, sign in and view your account. If all the purchases were paid already instead of entering your new card information, it will give you an option for "NONE" as a payment method. Again this is not applicable of you have a pending charges with iTUnes

  • I sold my ipod (which has always been backed up to Itunes/computer)and am waiting for my new ipad.  Do I have to manually download all my apps on the ipad, or will itunes sync my old ipod apps/music to the ipad?

    I sold my ipod (which has always been backed up to itunes/computer) and am waiting for a new Ipad.
    Do I have to manually download all my apps on the ipad, or will itunes allow me to sync my old ipod apps and music to the ipad?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can sync your music and apps from iTunes. However since you are moving from an iPod to an iPad, many of the apps will have iPad versions which you will need to redownload.

  • I've installed bootcamp 4.0 on my iMac 27. Everything works superb, but for playing need for speed run or battlefield 3 I need catalyst driver 11.7 or higher. How can I update my graphics? Is there a possibility except waiting for a new bootcamp version?

    I've installed bootcamp 4.0 on my iMac 27. Everything works superb, but for playing need for speed run or battlefield 3 I need catalyst driver 11.7 or higher. How can I update my graphics? Is there a possibility except waiting for a new bootcamp version?

    But how do you install the drivers if Bootcamp is running interference?
    Bottom line, I'ev tried to install three different versions of updated ATI driver sover the last few momnths and on each and every occassion have ended up with the original Bootcamp driver. A number of current games are unplayable on a Mac running Bootcamp as a result.
    And if I can't run the software I want, then Bootcamp is as useless as boobs on a bull.

  • I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

    I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

    If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences.  If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section.  Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.

  • Waiting for the new Q10 to hit sprint but what will happen to my email?

    I am currently waiting for the new Q10 to hit sprint.  but i am hearing that i will no longer be able to use my blackberry.net email with the new blackberry.  i currently use it as my primary email.  1st is it true they will no longer have blackberry email and if so what steps do i need to take in order to make a smooth transistion?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. yes, the blackberry.net email is no longer available... and quite honestly, in my opinion, this is a good thing. The blackberry.net email is not available anywhere except ON your BlackBerry, you cannot view it anywhere but on the handheld device itself and no backup otherwise. Get a free gmail, yahoo or Outlook.com account.
    2. Read this:  Article ID: KB33260 BlackBerry (hosted) email address forwarding for BlackBerry 10 OS
    So, create and start using the other free email account now. When you finally transition over to BlackBerry10, you will have your solution in place for forwarding the blackberry.net email account.

  • Should i buy macbook Pro now??? or wait for the new model in 2012..???

    i want to buy MacBook Pro....so... should i wait for the new model or???

    Your question is analogues to the same situation if you were contemplating the purchase of a new car.
    If you need one and the current model satisfies your needs, purchase it.  If the current crop does not satisfy your needs you certainly can wait for a new model, but there is no guarantee that the new model will have features that will fulfill your expectations.
    In short, your choices are dealing with the known vs unknown possibilities.

    LR6 wait for some time hoping to launch as soon as D750 can not connect!

    RAW is supported for D750 in versions later as 5.7
    I suppose tethering will be added with next version, which probably is LR6.

  • HT3529 my iphone broke, is there anyway to see who is texting me or calling me while i wait for my new phone?

    my iphone broke, is there anyway to see who is texting me or calling me while i wait for my new phone?

    Through iCloud, a user is able to share (and sync) all content between iOS devices (and Macs), including messages.
    • Syncing between iOS devices
    If you have an iPad or iPod touch, activating iCloud in those devices with the same iCloud account of your iPhone will allow the text messages you initially recieve from your phone to be delivered to the additional devices.
    ➞ Limitations
    The caller must be an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) user.
    The caller must be sending the text to your iCloud account (e-mail address), not your phone number.
    • Syncing to your Mac
    If you have a Mac (iMac, Macbook, Mac mini, etc), 'Messages Beta for OS X' will allow your computer to act as a text messaging machine, as well ― just like your iPhone.
    ➞ Limitations
    The caller must be an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) user.
    The caller must be sending the text to your iCloud account (e-mail address), not your phone number.
    Unfortunately, phone calls, which all of the other iOS devices, except iPhones, don't have, cannot be received.

    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Do sth for 5 sec. or 5 min.? How does Java wait for some time ?

    How can I show a text in a label for 5 sec. and then make it disappear ?
    How can I make my app wait for some time ?
    What's the command ?
    thanx!

    The above is correct, but since painting is done in a separate thread, the likely result would be a blank space for 5 seconds, followed by a brief flash of text. You need to look at methods like invokeLater in SwingUtilities. You could also try forcing a paint(Graphics g) rather than a repaint before you wait.

  • TREX search failure for some pdf documents

    Hi,
    TREX search is not getting correct result for some pdf documents. It's not able read the content of some pdf documents. When we search with file name the search result is correct but we are getting "No document excerpt available" message in search result for this file name.
    Let me know where might be the problem for those pdf docs.
    Thanks

    Hi Tatayya Marni,
    1. Can you tell me whether the pdf documents are opening when you are selecting them?
    2. This error comes mostly when you havent included this .extn file (.pdf in your case) to the portal.
    3. Check whether this extn is their in your portal if not make it inclueded and then try making a new index and one new data source where your pdf is residing. Try for one Test.
    You have to include the file extns in System Confi....UI Interface...
    Hope this will resolve your issue.
    Regards
    Piyush Bhurangi

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.
