My CS6 Action is always "Save As a jpg" despite other format save as in the action. Please help.

I am helping a colleague with a batch file action where he needs to overlay a grid over a photo and then save it as another file. In CS5.5 or earlier, no problem, but in CS6 it is not working for either of us. The batch action (run from either Photoshop or Bridge) stops and prompts at the Save command every time no matter what format we save it in (psd, png, jpg, save for web, etc.). I have been through the Web and the Adobe Forums and cannot find a work around for this. He cannot just hit enter everytime the popup window comes up because he has over 2700 photos to put this grid on.
Any suggestions? I know there is a known bug in CS6 for the Actions but there has got to be something...
Here is a screenshot of the action:
I really appreciate it.

Your screenshot didn't come through.
You probably need to post the screenshot by using your computer browser and coming to the forum and then use Insert Image. (camera icon)
Did you try recording a new action in photoshop cs6?
What operating system are you using?

Hi there Mylenium, is there any way you can help me? My cs6 is doing all kinds weird things lately. The liquifying too stopped working completely, when I try to work with the actions, it starts flickering and changing opacity in color by itself. It starts flickering and is completely out of whack! I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still no luck. I tried getting in touch with adobe and no luck with that neither! Is there anyway you might be able to help?

If the reset doesn't work:
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost

Michael: are you still using an old version o0f PSE (e.g. PSE V4)? Problems similar to the one that you described are relatively frequent in old PSE Versions ( I was suffering a lot from them)..... and there are quite seldom in newer PSE versions. Unfortunately, I do not remember which PSE Version became much better in this area (was it V5? or V6?)
If using an older PSE version and encoutering often the problem: consider to migrate to a newer PSE Version..

Follow-up action : please help - Inspection Lot related

Hi,
I am having the following trouble:
Through MB02, a printout is generated to the local printer (LOCL).
However, through QA11, when we save, we have a custom follow-up action attached that pops-up a
dialog screen.
The follow up action is triggered when a usage decision is changed for the inspection lot.
The follow-up action (configured in IMG) calls a Function Module and a screen, which in turn populates
a value into a custom DB table (based on the buttons, on the screen, sending either to LOCL or to a
zebra printer).
Now, what has to happen is that after inserting the value into a custom table, it should also open a sapscript and output.
The Sapscript and print program are there, with the print program being created 3-4 years ago by someone
else. However, even though we have code in the print program to update nast, in turn creating a message
for output (1st the custom DB table is checked to see if the values match, MATNRCHARG), It does not update
NAST. When we go through MB02, it does, but this should happen automatically after selecting one of the radio
buttons on the original pop-up & selecting print.
Please help. I don't know what to do and can't enable a debugger from the pop-up and if going though QA11,
I can't get it to stop inside the print program (only inside the custom FM).
Cheers,
John

hi
kindly check whether this FM will work for you QFOA_OBJECT_STATUS_SET

Unsuccessful in creating simple Disk Image action - please help

I am new to Automator and thought I was getting the hang of it. I am trying to create a simple action that will take my selected files, then put them into a .dmg. I want it to ask for a name and location each time. I thought I had it but every time it creates the image it self deletes. Now I am totally confused.
I searched for "disk image" in the forum but didn't find anything.
Thanks for any help.
CHris

It sounds like you are unmounting the dmg when done - what actions are in your current workflow? You can use the option to show the action when it runs to get a dialog with the selected items for you to put in the names and location.
1) Get Selected Finder Items
2) New Disk Image { Options:
Show this action when the workflow runs;
Show only the selected items (check Volume name, Save as, in) }

Program crashes whenever I save. CS4 Version. Please Help.

Okay, so the detials is whenever I try to save a file (even if I start a new file), the program only saves a portion of it.... as a pdf (so there is no layers and not a true illustrator.ai document) and it will sometimes crash on me.
I also have a hard time opening (existing) files up. I double click on them... I left click, use the "open with..." option... the best option is to use the file-->open file, but that only works half the time.
I tried uninstalling/re-installing Illustrator, and that doesn't work...
Adobe refuses to help me since I don't have the latest version: CS6.... -. __-.
If you know anything that may help, please let me know.
Thank you.
(also using a MAC two btw... if that helps...)

So I just want to post that "I" was able to slove the issue (and I'll post my solution in case anyone else may be having this problem...)
I went to the mac store today and it turns out that I had somehow changed the default program to open my .ai files up... Like, whenever I tried opening the saved file up, it would open it up as a pdf file (or if I tried opening it from Illustrator, nothing happend or sometimes it would crash).
To fix this, all I had to do was right click on the file, go to get more info (or apparently press command "i") and down where it says "open with" select adboe illustrator. This will change the file to the correct .ai format and save all future files as the correct .ai format as well. If you just try to right click the file and click "open with" and select illustrator, the file will not open.
Hope this helps someone in the future... sure gave me a headache.
and thank you adobe. I'm glad I can go to an apple store and get help for free on one of YOUR products.

Logic crashes when I try to save in Mountain Lion! PLEASE HELP!

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, and now Logic is acting very wierd! When I try to add plug-ins, i get an error message saying that the plug-in could not be opened, even if they work on other tracks. Sometimes, when I try to scroll up or down or to the side, it looks like all the layers clashes and mooshes togheter. It's very wierd. Sometimes it just crashes, but worst of all, it crashes everytime I save! It's so frustrating!
Thanks in advance!

Okay, This is not going to help you now but here is a genral rule of thumb when using Pro Apps - do not rush to upgrade the OS as soon as a new one comes out.
If you are a professional musician or are hoping to be then you really should be using time machine or some form of back up.
after upgrade did you verify/repair permissions on your drive?

Save file question?? please help me

Hi,
I run my Java Applet on web. but I want to save run data as a data.txt file to my homepage and wrote the below code, the code is work but I did get the file in my homepage. what are wrong?
please give me suggestions!
Thanks!
URL url = new URL ("http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~jzhan/file.txt");
URLConnection urlcon = (URLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlcon.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStream output =(OutputStream) urlcon.getOutputStream();
DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(output);
try {
out.writeUTF(" This file is simulation results \n ");
// vector stores my data:
for (int i=0; i<vector.size(); i++) {
double value = (double)(((Double)(vector.elementAt (i))).doubleValue());
out.writeDouble(value);
out.close();
catch {}

what are wrong?Your understanding of HTTP. Unless you have a very strange HTTP server, it won't let you upload things like that.
please give me suggestions!Use FTP instead. Check with whoever runs your server - they probably support it. There are quite a lot of threads around here to do with FTP.

Restoring app saves after resetting iPod Touch (PLEASE HELP!)

Not so long ago I realised that my iPod Touch was lagging a bit. Anyway, almost everywhere I looked said that I should backup my data (which I thought I had done, as I had followed every step according to iFunBox), beforehand.
So, anyway, now that I have reset it, all my games (bar the odd Facebook synced app), want me to restart. I have logged into Game Center, tried to get iFunbox to put the files back on, etc. but nothing works.
Does anyone know how I can get all my saves back (there's been a fair bit spent on these games so I will be really disgruntled if I have to restart).
Thanks guys

Just restore from backup.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
