Max images per folder

I've been trying to teach myself how to make a folder action in Automator which will move any file ending with .jpg from the default download folder to a sub folder named {todays date}, and I'm not doing very well.
I also want to automatically sort my existing photo collection so that there are no more than 200 images in each folder, with the folder names auto created sequentially 001, 002 etc.
I don't know the first thing about scripting of any kind, but I can't help feeling like there should be a workflow already out there somewhere which will do this for me; unfortunately automator.us and numerous other great sites come up short.
I managed to get someone to help me with this once before, using applescript, but for some reason it broke with 10.4.5.
Thanks in advance, Jim.

For this type of folder action AppleScript is preferred as it will run as script, instead of launching a whole Automator Application (think bouncing dock, think losing focus, think spinning beach ball). If you've already got a script that's merely held up by a tiny bug, why not post the code and let us patch it up for you?

  • How can I re-establish the notification of the number of mails per folder?

    The number of emails per folder always was shown in thunderbird but with the last updates regularly is lost. In the past the columns shown with the folders could be chosen - how can this be done in the new version (v.24.6.0 under windows 8.1)?

    Do you have this add-in installed:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/extra-folder-columns/
    I've never had problems displaying the columns, with various TB versions or themes, but maybe you have another add-on that is causing the problem, or your pane layout has changed. What happens if you re-install the EFC add-on?

  • Is it possible to datamerge more than one image per page?

    I am building a product catalogue using datamerge.  Is it possible to data merge more than one image per page? (ie I have a logo, product image and dimensioned drawing to go with each product page)
    What would the coding be for the Data Field Name?
    Would it be
    @Logo
    @Product Image
    @Dimension Drawing
    Add image fields in the data source file
    By adding image fields to the data source file, you can allow a different image to appear on each merged record. For example, when you merge documents that include information from various companies, you may want to include an image of each company’s logo as part of the merge.
    Open the data source file.
    At the beginning of the data field name, type an “at” symbol (@) to insert text or paths that refer to image files.The @ symbol is required only in the first line; subsequent lines should include the image paths. Paths, which are case-sensitive, must follow the naming conventions of the operating system in which they’re stored.
    If you get an error message when you type the @ symbol at the beginning of the field, type an apostrophe (') before the @ symbol (such as '@Photos) to validate the function. Some applications, such as Microsoft Excel, reserve the @ symbol for functions.

    You can use InDesign to view the path of an image on your operating system. Insert an image in an InDesign document, and then use the Links panel to view the image’s location. With the image selected, choose Copy Info > Copy Full Path from the Links panel menu. You may need to edit the path after you paste it in your data source. This technique is especially useful for images on a server.

    Yes, pretty much exactly as you describe. You would then just add those fields to the boxes in your page. I tend to add an apostrophe before the @ symbol in Excel so it doesn't think it's a function - as per text you quoted above.
    If you get an error message when you type the @ symbol at the beginning of the field, type an apostrophe (') before the @ symbol (such as '@Photos) to validate the function. Some applications, such as Microsoft Excel, reserve the @ symbol for functions.

  • Disk Utility 'Disk Image from Folder' looses file create date?

    Hi,
    I have been working on creating backups that maintain the files' create dates. I have found the following anomoly using Disk Utility.
    If I create a Disk Image From Folder, the create dates of all files are changed to be the same as the last modify dates. Not what I want.
    If I creat a Blank Disk Image, and then using Finder to copy the files to the Disk Image, the create dates remain unchanged.
    I can then burn the backup CD's with the Disk Image and the files' create dates are maintained. So, future restore from the backup CD will contain the original files' create dates.
    Does anyone know if Disk Utility's Create Disk Image from Folder is supposed to loose the files' create dates? What other file attributes are being lost? Mac OS X maintains all of these attributes, and create dates via Finder copies, I would expect the Disk Utility Create Disk Image from Folder to do the same.

    To follow up on this post, I know at least part of the answer. The difference between the two becomes clearer if you read the documentation (man pages) for hdiutil and asr. Image 1 will be created in file mode, whereas image 2 will be in block mode, ie bypassing the file system. Image 1 will consist of a series of files, whereas image 2 will contain a series of blocks, mirroring the original layout of the hard disk.
    Technically the latter should be faster to restore (in block mode), although Apple recommend the first procedure (see man page for hdiutil). I haven't seen any evidence that images created in block mode can be mounted or restored, although you might be able to burn such images to a optical disks if applicable.
    As I've pointed out in another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1508199&tstart=0) I believe that this functionality should not be offered in disk utility, and I consider it a serious bug.

  • How can I create a one image per page caption sheet that includes the description in Bridge?

    I am trying to find a way to create a one-image-per-page caption sheet for my workflow. I currently place each image into Word and copy the description onto the document, then repeat for each image. I am hoping that there is a way to automate this process using Bridge. I know that it can be done using Lightroom, however, that is not currently an option for me. Is this something that can be done or am I bound, like Sisyphus to Microsoft Word? I have a very limited grasp of scripting, but I feel like this is possible.
    Thanks for any help.

    To create a NetBoot image, you could just put the cluster node in target mode and attach it to your PowerBook. Then use SIU to create the NetBoot image.
    If you're trying to create a backup image of the disk, use hdiutil, or put in in target mode and create the image with Disk Utility.

  • Messages Opening Image Cache Folder when Sending Files

    Messages / iChat seems to be opening my image cache folder every time I send an image to my contacts the image cache folder opens in Finder and stays open with the copied image. Is there a way to get rid of this? It's really annoying. It started happening after I updated to Mavericks.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I don't have an answer for this one.
    Are you finding those items are zipped before Sending ?

    I get them zipped when sending a pic dragged from a Browser or from iPhoto but not from the Desktop or a Finder window.

  • Create a PDF with multiple images per page

    So this seems really simple, but i cannot figure it out... i am creating a PDF from 30 JPGs and rather than having an image on each page in the PDF I would like to set it up so that there are 6 images per page... any thoughts .. thanks in advance
    cheers
    matt

    Once you have the PDF with a single image per page, print it out to a new PDF with 6 pages per page.
    Either that, or use an authoring application like Word or InDesign.

  • Optimum number of images per sheet for contact sheet?

    what is the optimum number of images per sheet (like 5x5, 10x10 etc) for a contact sheet on the latest photoshop. optimum meaning the largest number of images per page so that you can still see what the image is of and the image number.
    thanks

    How are you going to use the Contact Sheet?  If you are not printing, but using your screen or website, you can use your file browser to simulate the Contact Sheet.  In Windows > File Explorer, choose large icons, and zoom in or out with Ctrl Mouse Wheel.

  • Max-instances-per-pk attribute

    Does anybody know what is "max-instances-per-pk" attribute in

    How do I set this value to infinity?
    Why I can not find any documentation about this?????
    Please help,
    Artur

    Artur -- max-instances-per-pk controls the size of the pool of wrapper instances for OC4J. I would just set it to a very large
    integer value. It will be documented in the production release of the EJB guide but for now here is a section from
    book. Also, the cache will be able to be disabled but that function was not in the pre-release. Lastly, we should be
    posting some of the documentation very soon (look for an announcement) so that will help to clarify some things.
    The wrapper instance is OC4J-generated wrapper code that provides for the
    services requested in the deployment descriptor. Before the bean instance is
    invoked, the client retrieves a handle to the wrapper instance. When the client
    invokes the bean, the wrapper is associated with a bean instance.
    The max-instances-per-pk attribute sets the maximum entity bean
    wrapper instances allowed in its pool for a given primary key. An entity beans
    wrapper code can be pooled if it is not used by a client.
    The default maximum value is 50. Set the maximum wrapper instances as
    follows:
    <entity-deployment ... max-instances-per-pk="20"
    </entity-deployment>
    Set the minimum wrapper instances as follows:
    <entity-deployment ... min-instances-per-pk="2"
    </entity-deployment>

  • Writing to XMP file or one file per folder?

    I am about to start using LR2. Used to using PS and Bridge. I use DNG and tiffs, and jpgs. I am used to having one file per folder for bridge's info. I do NOT want an XMP file per picture file. How does LR2 do this? I have read a few posts about XMP files and such. Is there a setting to make one file per folder, or does LR2 make XMP files for each picture?

    >XMP sidecars are only created for proprietary raw files (eg CR2, NEF, etc) and only when you save metadata out to file.
    Good, so since I do not use proprierary RAW's, I am safe. Thanks. I do plan to save metadata to the files, so in the future, other programs can use it.

  • Setting max record per page property at runtime (very urgent)

    We need to display 7 record for first page and 25 for other pages...
    we tried a reperating frame max record per page property is a report level property. So it cannot change for pages.
    Then We try other way..
    we seperated our query to the different frame to do these
    But we need to summaries some field at page level and
    reset at page has fallowing restriction
    "A Reset At of Page will not work for reports that have multiple repeating frames associated with a group that is involved in the summary. One common case of this is a matrix report. As a result, matrix reports cannot have page-level summaries."
    So all the ways we tried failed.
    How can we do this ... it is very urgent. (we can use any version of report.)

  • Multiple connections per Folder...

    Is there any way to create multiple imap connections per folder. I have written an exchange conversion utility, and I need to get the mime content of every message in a folder, and right now, that is my bottle neck. I want to thread this section of the code so that I can optimize the conversion. I have tried to increase the number of connection in my connection pool to no avail. After reading the api more closely, it seems to me that only one connection is assigned to each folder, so I can only get mime content serially for that folder. Is this true?
    Thanks,
    Joe Valerio

    I already have the message object with minimal metadata from the original folder. I am using Exchange Web Services to create the mail in Exchange, and it needs the entire mime content base64 encoded, so I do the following...
         // Create the Destination Message and set Props before I set the mime-content...
         MessageType destMessage = MessageUtil.createMessageType(user, message);
         // Convert MimeContent to Base64 and add it to the message.
         ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
         BASE64EncoderStream b64es = new BASE64EncoderStream(baos);
         message.writeTo(b64es);
         b64es.flush();
         MimeContentType mime = new MimeContentType();
         mime.setValue(baos.toString());
         destMessage.setMimeContent(mime);
    I would have to open another folder (one imap request per group of messages), getMessageByUID (another imap request per message) and then write the mime content to the encoder stream. I'll give it a shot, but with the extra traffic, i'm not overly optimistic of a performance boost.
    Thanks for the reply,
    - Joe
