Let Photoshop automatically load the most recent file

I have in the task bar icons for the PostScript editor PSAlter and for Photoshop.
The workflow is always: Edit in PSAlter and interpret in Photoshop.
Clicking in the task bar on the Photoshop icon should open Photoshop, load
the most recent file (which is meanwhile modified), confirm last settings by OK
and start the execution.
Is it possible to automate this sequence – by just one click on the icon?
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

I doubt that would work out well.
One could possibly link a Script to Photoshop being "brought to the foreground" with Script Events Manager but that might not always be the intended process when switching to Photoshop.
How exactly is the "most recent file" identifiable?
Do you change the settings often or could they stay fixed?
Maybe you should also ask over at
Photoshop Scripting

  • How can I stop apps from automatically opening the most recent file?

    Why do apps running under OSX insist on loading the last-opened file whenever you start them up?
    I've seen this now with Preview and QuickTime so far and it's really annoying. If I double click a file to preview or play it, why would I want the last files I'd viewed to also reopen without my asking for it?
    Really annoying...

    To switch off the "Restore windows ..." generally is the "brute force method".
    With some apps, this behavior is really a benefit (e.g. Terminal, Texteditors, ...).
    So you might decide to selectively switch off this behavior for each app, that should not restore:
    see link:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/161330/2011/07/four_lion_terminal_hacks.html
    e.g. for Preview:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
    I guess this will soon be available as an option in each apps GUI-preferences.

  • How can I automatically load the most recent photo gallery?

    I would like to add a "Recent Photos" section to my home page. Is there any good way to do that?

    What are "Recent Photos"? Which module are you using for that? If you're using a web app you can display the list of the latest web ap items on your homepage by embedding the module into it.

  • SSIS package to order all the CSV files based on their date of creation/modification mentioned in a filename and load the least recent file in oracle Destination

    HI,
    I need a help for creating SSIS package which has flat file source (specifically , delimited csv files) which are placed in a shared folder
    having file names as  File_1_2015-04-30 08:54:13.900.csv, File_2_2015-04-30 07:54:13.900.csv.
    So, I wanted to use foreach loop to find out the oldest file amongst that(through script task) and need to transform that file in Oracle Destination. After that, I want to archive that file and need to continue this action uptil the most recent file gets
    loaded in destination.
    So, Could you guys please guide me?
    Thanks in advance

    I'd say you need two loops, one to cycle through all the files and collect their names. Then sort them based on your criterion
    Perhaps you can start by seeing http://www.sqlis.com/sqlis/post/Looping-over-files-with-the-Foreach-Loop.aspx
    Collect the file names into a Recodset Destination, then shred it http://www.sqlis.com/sqlis/post/Shredding-a-Recordset.aspx
    perhaps you need an outer loop to iterate over each file to compare the files for dates.
    Do each piece and post here where you needed to stop.

  • ITunes is a blank-slate...How do I load the most recent previous version of my library?

    I "re-arranged" my files on my computer to free up space and now my iTunes is completely blank.  No apps, no music, no ringtones.  Nothing.  How do I find and load the most recent previous version of iTunes?  Since we went to the cloud I haven't actually plugged my phone in to sync it...I'm afraid it will ask me if I want to load what's on my phone into iTunes, and I just want my old iTunes back.  Any ideas?  TIA!

    When you re-arranged your Files for iTunes, in your C:\Users\Your Username\Music\iTunes folder ->should be a iTunes library.xml, and a Itunes library.lib- if you moved those thats why your library is blank.
    Simply go to File- Add folder to library-> locate your Music folder- click choose - and you library should come back

  • When I sort by date added in Column View in Finder, how can I make the most recent files appear at the top of the list?(Mavericks)

    In 10.8, when I sorted Finder by date added or date created in column view, the most recent files would appear at the top of the list. Currently, this happens as it should in every single view mode EXCEPT column view (which is pretty much the only view I ever use). Currently, I have a folder with over 2000 files in it that date back to 2011, so now I have to scroll for like ten minutes just te get to files that were most recently added. Who in their right mind would want to sort by last modified with the oldest result listed FIRST? Ridiculous. I can't figure this out. Any help?

    Thanks for the reply leroydouglas! Unfurtunately this doesn't cause the column to be ordered correctly either. After selecting this option, the files seem to be ordered by label, and the most recently added file is somewhere in the middle of the list. I'd like it to be at the top, and have other files/folders descend in retrochronological order by their add date.
    Any other input from the community would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just confirming that this is/is not expected behavior. I'd be super bummed to find out that this IS expected behavior, as it's really counterintuitive and extremely inconvenient.
    Thanks again!

  • I can no longer manually select podcast episodes to download. It automatically downloads the most recent. I have been downloading a few episodes at a time due to the limited memory of my Shuffle. Is there a work-around?

    I can no longer manually select podcast episodes to download. It automatically downloads the most recent. I have been downloading a few past episodes at a time due to limited memory of my Shuffle. Is there a work-around for this?

    Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
    I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
    At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

  • I am trying to down load the most recent iphone4 software update

    I am trying to down load the most recent iphone4 software update and it will "time out".  Have never had this problem before.  Have tried tuning off virus protection ect...still times out right at the end...any help would be great...cheers.

    It's still likely a security issue, i.e. maybe your firewall.  See this... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

  • How can I upgrade my Photoshop Element to the most recent changes. Thank you!

    How can I upgrade my Photoshop Element to the most recent changes. Thank you!

    Hi,
    If you mean "How do you upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 from an earlier version" then you need to buy the new version. There is an upgrade option but if you shop around then you can sometimes buy the full product cheaper. They are both the same product once you have installed them.
    If you install Photoshop Elements 13 on the same system as your old version the you can convert your existing catalog to the new format.
    Note that Photoshop Elements 13 will not work on older operating systems. The 30 day trial version can be downloaded from here

    If you are asking about updating the camera raw in your current version then we need to know which version you want to update. Normally, you can go to the Help menu and select Updates.
    Note that each version has a limit on the version of camera raw that it can use - again we need to know which version you currently have.

  • Automatically keep 2 most recent files?

    hi, i have a folder that i keep synced and that i access remotely.  however, i would like to find a way to always keep the most 2 recent added files in t hat folder... how could i do that? with automator? or applescript? im not too familiar with apple script. (not at all actually)
    im looking for something a bit like dropbox where that folder would be monitored all the time and as soon as it senses that a new file was just added, it would delete the oldest by keeping always the most recent 2....
    any ideas?
    thanks... (running most recent version of mountain lion)

  • Find the most recent file

    greetings,
    I am developing a web site in which we need to extract the 1st paragraph of the most recent press release and post it as content in a separate page. The press releases are all in their own separate files that get dynamically included into a templates page.
    I am able to open the file, get the text, set it to a variable and post to the separate page without a problem. What I need to know is how to know which file to open and read.
    I can use the lastModified() method to compare one file agains another, which I suppose would work fine it it was only a handful of files I Was comparing, but this could potentially be a pretty large number of files.
    Can anyone think of a relatively efficient way to do this? Are there any array sorting methods that may help here?
    Thanks,
    -d

    If you're looking to sort your File array by lastModified() date, then use the Arrays.sort() method with the following header...
    Arrays.sort(Object[] a, Comparator c)
    You can easily define the Comparator to sort by the date (either ascending or descending) and voila, you can quickly and easily find the most recent.

  • I just loaded the most recent FFox8, and gmail messages no longer load. All I get is an ad, and a blank. If I try to reply, a message says "cannot load rich text editor.

    gmail loads, but when I click on an email, the body is blank, except for a two-line text ad. I can see the source code via the menu selection.
    I tried to "reply" and see if I could read the attached email, but I got a message that said "cannot load the rich text editor"
    How can i get back the previous version of firefox?

    ''GMail entire message content missing (blank) after header title''
    In Firefox, if you have "Adblock Plus" extension.

  • I have a four year old version of Firefox and it won't let me update to the most recent version. Help.

    Current installed version of Firefox is 2.0.0.4 - 2006. I'm trying to upgrade to 3.6.8; while it will download, I don't get a prompt to drag it into the Applications folder. I think my installed version is so old it won't recognize the new one. What do I do to make the new version install?

    You have not specified the version of Mac OS X you are using. If you have 10.3.9 or earlier, the last version you can use is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
    Firefox 3 and above require at least OS X 10.4
    If you do have 10.4 or above, see [[Installing Firefox on Mac]]

  • I have more songs than can fit on my ipod.  How do I add the most recent when I sync?

    I suppose sometime I will have to get a bigger IPOD, but I still love hwat I have but like to mix up the music.  I now have too many songs on my computer to load on my IPOD.  Is there any way to automatically load the most recently added tunes when I sync or do I have to manually deselect tunes I don't want to load?

    Hello sifishman,
    Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel on this one or explain it myself, have a look at this Apple support document.  Should be able to answer your question.

  • Finding most recent file in a directory

    Hi,
    Is there a simple and easy way in labview to write a program that goes
    into a directory and looks for the most recent file. I can think of one
    way where I use the list directory vi to obtain an array of the file
    names in the directory and then use the file/directory info vi to
    obtain a time stamp for each file in the directory and afterwards sort
    all the time stamps. I'm not sure if this is the simplest way to do
    this, and wanted to ask if anyone on the discussion forums knows of any.
    Thank you

    This example is not that great and a few tweaks can greatly improve it!
    Building the path with string operations inside the loop automatically breaks this VI on anything but windows. There is a reason we have the "build path" function! It should always be used. The "string to path" and "path to string" should only be used for OS specific tasks.
    You probably want to skip files that are actually links. Newer versions of "File/Directory info" tell you if the path points to a link instead of a file with a boolean output.
    WIy do we need to keep an array of all files and maintain the corret index in a shift register. It seems more intuitive and less wasteful to just keep the newest file path in the shift register and not worry about the index.
    The image below shows a quick attempt at improving the example. Modify as needed.
