Moving to existing folders Automator Service

So, the end result is to make this a service, but I don't care if I have to make this in applescript first. The result is to be able to select a number of files and have the service prompt me to choose between moving between Specific folders.
Ex: If I have a few files selected in /System/Library/Coreservices/ (of course this is not where I'm moving files from), I'd want to move those files to either /Users/Apple/Desktop/ or /Users/Apple/Pictures/ or /Users/Apple/Library/.
In Automator the closest thing I could do to this was have it so I'd select items and then it would prompt me where to move them. I added variables into this, however only one would show up.
In summary, how do I have it so I can move to a selection of paths??

I think what your saying is a little over my head. I'm not very familiar with Automator. What I had after your instruction was Get Specified Finder items, then to a choose from list. When I got to this part it listed the path of the images I was testing it with, allowing me to check which imagse I wanted to continue with the action? Then it prompeted me (upon my request) to choose the path from the defaults (Desktop, home, etc.) and one of my variables.
All that set aside I feel I'm more so on the right path. I was able to make a bunch of variables, each containing my desired paths. I was also able to get a selection of my files, which I feel could contain my variables. If I could select between my variables that would fix my problem, which may have also been what you were describing when you said,"then put the result into your destination variable," which is where I got lost (bleh run on sentence).
If you could please clarify what you meant there in a more user friendly way, you may be describing the way for me to select which varaibale aka path during the action. Thanks again

  • Mountain Lion brings bugs and breaks Automator Services

    Just love this Automator tool, been using it to make my Finder dance for a while now.  My fresh install (Erase/USB) of Mountain Lion seems to be reproducibly broken for adding Services, and also appears to have a bug for editing existing Services...
    My steps to failure were as follows:
    Open Automator
    Select and choose "Service" to create a new service
    Find/drag "Get Selected Finder Items" to the service pane
    Find/drag "Launch Application" to the service pane
    Select the desired program/application (in this case a AppleScript.app)
    Change the "Service receives selected" to "Files or Folders", and change "in" to "Finder"
    Select the "Workflow" -> "Run" option to verify that the workflow actually works…  (Note: my Applescript applicaiton needs me to actually select a image file in Finder to properly operate...  But it works just fine in this step).
    Save the new Automator's service workflow (saves to ~/Library/Services as "Convert selected image" - (actually, any name produces the same failure mode.
    Close the new workflow document in Automator
    Verify that the Service exists (is installed) in "~/Library/Services/Convert selected image.workflow"
    Open a new Finder window,
    Ctl-Click on any file or folder, select the Services fly-out context menu: BROKEN: The expected Finder context service text of "Convert selected image" is not available.
    Verify that the Service exists (is installed) in "~/Library/Services/Convert selected image.workflow"
    Go back to Automator, select "File" -> "Open Recent"
    Select the recent "Convert selected image" file, up pops a new "Service Installer" dialog
    Selecting "Open with Automator" works as expected, the file opens in Automator
    Selecting "Cancel" works as expected, nothing happens
    Selecting "Install" in the "Service Installer" dialog pops-up a new dialog warning that the service is already installed, asking if we want to replace it (warning: replacing will overwrite the current file!)
    Selecting "Cancel" works as expected, nothing happens
    Selecting "Replace" pops-up a funky new dialog that warns "Installation failed" because: "Convert selected image.workflow couldn't be moved to "Services" because either the former doesn't exist, or the folder containing the latter does't exist".  Two options are offered: "Open with Automator" or "Done"
    BUG: Selecting "Open with Automator" fails as the "Replace" option in step 21 has DELETED the workflow from the ~/Library/Services folder and it no longer exists…
    Selecting the only remaining option of "Done" returns the duped user to the now empty and lonely Automator.
    Perhaps it's just me (or solar flares)...  Any ideas on how to get my Mountain Lion's malfunctioning (and lonely) Automator Services working again ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello!
    There are many more bugs.
    One such...
    For Example, When I enter the actions:
    Action 1. Get specified Finder Items
    (Two excel Files in the list)
    Action 2. Move Finder Items to Trash
    Automator moves the two excel files, AND other files previously created in the workflow to the trash.
    That is new to me.

  • Convert dotx or docx to pdf with Word Automation Service failed

    Hello everybody,
    After search on the internet, I'm looking for a solution to this issue.
    I wrote this code for a document conversion in a visual studio 2010 workflow:
    string wordAutomationServiceName = "Word Automation Service";
    ConversionJobSettings jobSettings = new ConversionJobSettings();
    jobSettings.OutputFormat = SaveFormat.PDF;
    ConversionJob job = new ConversionJob(wordAutomationServiceName, jobSettings);
    job.UserToken = workflowProperties.Site.UserToken;
    job.AddFile(workflowProperties.WebUrl + "/" + file.Url,
    workflowProperties.WebUrl + "/" + file.Url.Replace(".docx", ".pdf"));
    job.Start();
    URLs are corrects and the word document exists.
    The problem is when the job is executed, I have errors in SharePoint logs:

    Hi Jean,
    Were you able to resolve this?  I am coming across the exact same error on a SharePoint 2010 development machine.  I don't see any other posts on the web about it.  Here is the entry from my ULS logs:
    Local Controller 'fc8b8704-f0f1-4e85-a69a-dc5686c27e39': Failure: <http://ip-0a6ee272/Shared%20Documents/Word/hello.docx> not uploaded to <http://ip-0a6ee272/Shared%20Documents/PDF/hello.pdf>
    (65543)
    Do we share any of the following configuration points?  I'm trying to narrow down the potential root cause ...
    MSDN subscriber EXE install media "SharePoint Server 2010 with Service Pack 1 (x64) - (English)"
    SP1 slipstream patch level.  No cumulative updates.
    http://autospinstaller.codeplex.com/  PowerShell scripted install
    SQL 2008 R2 installed on same box as SharePoint
    Active Directory domain controller on same box as SharePoint
    c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\HOSTS file 127.0.0.1 entry for both machine and domain name
    Thanks in advance for the research. 
    I've actually tried re-installing SharePoint several times on brand new virtual machines.  That did not resolve the issue.  Strangely enough, the RTM version of SharePoint appears to work just fine.  With all other configuration points the
    same, I loaded RTM ... ran a Word Automation PowerShell script ... and received the expected PDF output.  Then when I apply the SP1 patch ... it stops working and I get error 65543.
    Best,

  • Bookmarks save only in 'recently bookmarked' folder & can not be moved to other folders

    I can no longer save bookmarks to a designated folder - they go only to 'recently bookmarked' folder and can not to moved to other folders- when attempting to move them to another folder, they appear in the designated folder list but when I return to the main browser page, they are not listed. They are still in the 'recently bookmarked folder' only. I have attempted to save bookmarks many times since, with no success.

    Those bookmarks should be located in one of the root folders.
    If you click the star in the location bar then the page will be bookmarked in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star turns yellow (blue on Mac) to show that.<br />
    If you use "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" then the bookmark will go to the "Bookmarks Menu" folder (you need to confirm that).
    "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
    * Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
    * Bookmarks or history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.

  • SharePoint 2013 - Word Automation Services - Conversion fails ErrorCode 10 - Domain Controller on same (development) server as SharePoint

    I have code attached below, running inside SharePoint (in a page), used to convert .docx document to .pdf using Word Automation Services.
    SPFile inputWordFile = ##CODE THAT RETRIEVE THE SPFile ##
    using (Stream inputWordStream = inputWordFile.OpenBinaryStream())
       using (MemoryStream outputPdfStream = new MemoryStream())
    SyncConverter sc = new SyncConverter(wordAutomationServiceName);
    sc.UserToken = web.CurrentUser.UserToken;
    sc.Settings.UpdateFields = true;
    sc.Settings.OutputFormat = SaveFormat.PDF;
    ConversionItemInfo info = sc.Convert(inputWordStream, outputPdfStream);
    if (info.Succeeded)
    What happens is that the conversion fails. errorCode is 10.
    What I came to, is that this is related to the Domain Controller being installed on the same machine.
    I have examinated and excluded all several other possible issues (memory resources, etc.).
    What I had undestood as far, is that the problem is that "the
    converter is executed in the context of a very unprivileged local account, and there are no local accounts on DCs"
    Is this a KNOWN ISSUE?
    Is there a workaround for development enviroment having DC+SQL+VisualStudio+SharePoint on the same machine?

    Hi,
    It is recommended to try the code demo in this documentation below in a Console Application to see if it can work in your environment:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff181518(v=office.14).aspx
    If it still can’t work, you can restart the Word Automation Services in SharePoint Central Administration in case it is a service issue.
    Feel free to reply with the test result if the issue still exists.
    Thanks

  • I have an "Untitled" test service that no longer exists in Library/Services/ but still loads in the context menu and finder services menu.  How do I get rid of it?

    I created an "Untitled" test service, then deleted it.  It no longer exists in Library/Services/ but still loads in the context menu and finder services menu.  Reboots do not change the behavior.  How do I get rid of it?

    ... and mysteriously, it's gone again.  Multiple reboots across the day between then and now, plus a few hibernations as I moved about.  It's as if Finder cached the [deleted!] workflow file and continued to operate off of the cache for an indeterminate time....

  • Creating Folder for Existing Folders

    Is it possible to create a new folder for AR for iOS so that you can move already existing folders into it? My folders have become a bit cluttered as I had to create more for specific files, but they should all be filed under another bigger folder. Thanks!

    Question: "Is it possible to create a new folder for AR for iOS so that you can move already existing folders into it?"
    Answer: (Assuming that you are referring to the PDF documents and folders that you access inside Adobe Reader for iOS) Yes, you can create nested folders using the file browser user interface in Adobe Reader for iOS,
    In the main screen (showing Documents, Acrobat.com, Camera to PDF, My Account, Help), you can create a new folder.
    Tap Documents.
    Tap Edit in the upper right corner.
    Tap the folder icon with a plus sign in the bottom toolbar.
    Enter a new folder name.
    You can navigate to an existing folder and repeat the steps above to create nested folders in Reader.  You can select multiple files and move them to the newly created nested folder as well.  But it's not possible to move a folder containing files to a different folder at once.
    See Help > Handbook > Copy, edit, delete, manage for more details.
    If you use Acrobat.com as a cloud storage service, you can create nested folders using the web browser interface (https://files.acrobat.com/), organize your files and folders, and access them in Adobe Reader for iOS.
    Hope this helps.

    Keeping the folder you are moving to the far left will do the trick.

  • Automator service to open file in app only works if app is closed

    For my work I frequently need to edit text files that have non-standard extensions (and many have no extension at all). So for convenience when browsing in Finder, I created a simple Automator service that opens selected files TextMate:
    It works but the problem is that it only works if TM is initially closed before running the service. If it's open when the service runs, the TM menu bar appears but the file doesn't open. If I close TM and re-run the service, the file opens. How should I modify the service so that it will work whether or not TM is initially open or closed? Thanks!

    Thanks! That works, but I had to keep the 'Get Selected Finder Items' as the first action.
    Both of these configurations open an empty TextMate window:

  • Moving an existing SQL Express Database to SQL Server 2008 (included in SBS2011) help!

    I have software that uses SQL 2005 right now, but the database is close the max size (4 GB). I have SBS2011 installed and it includes SQL 2008 and SQL 2008R2.  I want to move the database to the 2008 version that can that can handle larger databases.
    I'm not an SQL expert, but have some experience with it.  What I need are some directions on how to make this change without causing any problems with the system, including setting up the SQL server so it will have all the same settings as the old one.
    This is a practice management software.
    Thanks in advance for any help.  Harvey

    Hi,
    I think you can upgrade SQL Server 2005 to later version of SQL Server rather than moving the existing database to another SQL Server instance.
    Upgrade SQL Server 2005 SP2 Express to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and SQL Server 2005 SP4 SQL Server 2012 Express. And you will have maximum 10 GB per database.
    Make sure that your operation system is compatible with SQL Server
     version which you want to upgrade to. For more information, see:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.105).aspx#SSE_x64
    It is possible to backup and restore the database on another instance and modify the database path in the software.
    You need to test it in your test environment first before making changes in the production environment.
    In addition, you need to consult with the software developer and see if there is any potential issue.

  • How to transfer pics from PC to Ipad2 without deleting existing folders?

    Whenever I try to transfer pics from pc to Ipad2, existing folders are deleted (which mens I only have one folder, cuz everytime I try to transfer a new folder with pics, the previous is deleted)?
    I also tryed to trasfer all my folders with pics at one time, which was very simple, BUT then all the pics are totally mixed up and not in the correct folders
    I have google'ed this issue, and I can see other are having the same, but I can't find any solution any where.
    Pls help :-)
    Thanks

    Create a parent folder on your computer that will contain the named folders of photos you want transferred to your iPad. Select this parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes. To add a new folder of photos to your iPad, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync. To remove a folder of photos from your iPad, move the folder out of the parent folder followed by a sync. The same applies to individual photos. You can remove individual photos from an existing folder in the parent folder on your computer followed by a sync to remove the photos from your iPad, or add individual photos to existing folders of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync to add the photos to your iPad.

  • Convert list item attachment from docx to pdf using Word Automation Services

    I have been trying to convert List Item attachments from docx to pdf using word automation services, it works in a normal document library but when I use the list attachment it throws a null reference error.
    var settings = new ConversionJobSettings();
    settings.OutputFormat = Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Conversions.SaveFormat.PDF;
    var conversion = new ConversionJob("Word Automation Services", settings);
    conversion.UserToken = SPContext.Current.Site.UserToken;
    var wordFile = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.Url + "/" + wordForm.Url;
    var pdfFile = wordFile.Replace(".docx", ".pdf");
    conversion.AddFile(wordFile, pdfFile);
    conversion.Start();
    Using reflector I was able to see my problem lies in Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.FolderIterator.cs where it uses SPFile.Item which returns NULL
    internal void CheckSingleItem(SPFile inputFile, SPFile outputFile)
    Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.TraceTag(0x67337931, Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.Category.ObjectModel, Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.Level.Verbose, "OM: FolderIterator start a single item: source='{0}'; dest='{1}'", new object[] { inputFile.Url, outputFile.Url });
    Stopwatch stopwatch = Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.StartPerfStopwatch();
    try
    this.CheckInputFile(inputFile.Item);
    this.CheckOutputFile(outputFile.Url);
    Is there any way to get around this?

    Hi Qfroth,
    According to your description, my understanding is that when you use word automation service to convert Word to PDF for list item attachment, it throws the null reference error.
    I suggest you can create an event receiver and convert the word to memory stream like below:
    private byte[] ConvertWordToPDF(SPFile spFile, SPUserToken usrToken)
    byte[] result = null;
    try
    using (Stream read = spFile.OpenBinaryStream())
    using (MemoryStream write = new MemoryStream())
    // Initialise Word Automation Service
    SyncConverter sc = new SyncConverter(WORD_AUTOMATION_SERVICE);
    sc.UserToken = usrToken;
    sc.Settings.UpdateFields = true;
    sc.Settings.OutputFormat = SaveFormat.PDF;
    // Convert to PDF
    ConversionItemInfo info = sc.Convert(read, write);
    if (info.Succeeded)
    result = write.ToArray();
    catch (Exception ex)
    // Do your error management here.
    return result;
    Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:

  • Can't name new folders or rename existing folders in Finder

    I can't name new folders or rename existing folders in Finder. I've never had this happen before. I tried both using the new folder icon and choosing "new folder" from the actions icon. The only unusual thing I'm doing now is working with Spaces enabled, but I can't imagine that this has anything to do with the problem. Selecting and hitting "return" doesn't allow me to either erase existing text or overwrite with new text. Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Sue A.

    Same here --
    I just created a new folder and couldn't change its name. Finder would give me "more info" (permissions certainly not an issue) and allow me to delete (and then recreate) the folder, but not change its name.
    Problem came from out of the blue, on a one-week-old system with all OS updates. Also found this old thread, which also suggests a Finder restart: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8989639
    So that'll probably do it, but what gives?
    Not so impressed with 10.5.7 so far... first a complete system crash while doing no more than downloading updates (a few hours after booting up for the first time), then networking stopped working (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2003868), now this...

  • Moving files and folders in the Library module

    I teach a lot of LR users and one area that's consistantly frustrating and unintuitive (even to some experienced users) are the rules for moving files and folders around in the Library module. I'm not sure I have all the right answers/suggestions/remedies but here are the basic points worth examining:
    1) Additional hard drives aren't listed unless images from it have been imported into Lightroom. It would be nice if people could add a new hard drive without importing files from it. People don't get it that you can select "Add Folder" from the Folders pop up menu. Classic example: Say someone has purchased a new hard drive for archiving purposes. It's empty and they want to drag folders of images onto it from within LR. Possible Solution: include a "Add Drive..." option from the Folder's panel + pop-up menu that would behave the same and add a root level folder.
    2) One can't drag more than one folder at a time. While I assume this is designed to prevent accidental mass movement it would be nice if one could enable the movement of multiple folders. 
    3) One can't drag a folder onto the main drive bar that lists the drive's name and capacities - one has to drag onto a folder within a drive. I'd love to be able to drag a folder onto the root level of a drive by dropping onto the drive bar (this would be similar to the MacOS finder).
    4) Sometimes the root level of a drive isn't apparent. One may need to right click on a folder and select "Show Parent Folder" to show the root level folder which is named after the volume. Showing a root "folder" that has the same name as the drive is also confusing to people since there isn't actually a folder on the hard drive with that name.  I completely understand why folders are hidden by default and I'm not sure the remedy is but, again, this isn't intuitive for new users. If #3 worked as described perhaps we could have root level access without the root folder?
    Scott Martin
    www.on-sight.com

    Perhaps I should add that I really like and appreciate a lot of the decisions that have already been implemented into the Library's Folder's tab. Moving files instead of copying them, showing only folders that contain imported images, the ability to show or hide parent folders.... Bravo!

  • Automator Service problem

    Hello all.
    I'm trying to set up a Service in Automator, so that I can convert multiple image files into a single .pdf. It's all working fine, but I have one problem. I'd like the .pdf to automatically be saved in the folder in which the original image files came from.
    At the moment, my workflow allows the .pdf to be created and deletes the original files (if I say yes when I'm asked for confirmation) but I can't figure out how to change the destination for the new .pdf to be the folder in which the original image files came from.
    My workflow is currently as follows:
    Set Value of Variable (1)
    New PDF from Images
    Name Single Item
    Move Finder Items
    Ask for Confirmation (Ignore Input)
    Get Value of Variable (1)
    Move Finder Items to Trash
    Any help greatly appreciated!
