Odd quirk during Batch processing...

When I do a batch process (File/automate/batch) it all works fine, provided I leave the cursor where the dialog box keeps popping up. If I move the cursor (to do something else and leave it running in the background) the batch stops until the cursor is back over the dialog box.
I'm using CS5 on OSX SL. The plug-ins that this currently happens with are the Topaz ones, which require that I open them, do what I want, then close and save, and re-open for the next image. All rather tedious, but I don't see any workaround.

Sounds like it might be a shortcoming of the plug-in, in which case its producers might be the only ones who could help you.
Hopefully someone else has more insight into the matter, though.

Writing the filename as the prefix for bates or page numbering during batch process. PRO 9

While batch processing in Acrobat PRO 9 I am trying to insert the file name as the prefix automaticily either for page numbering or bates labeling.
Not very good with javascript. Any one have any ideas?
Everyone is always asking to have the filename as the prefix and it starts to wear on you after 1000 exhibits.

Don't know what script you're using, but this command will return the document's file name:
this.documentFileName
and this one will return the full path:
this.path

Disable all informations (popups, alerts etc.) during batch process

Hey! I'm using Acrobat 6.0 and the open all batch process to convert various office documents. For each document I have to agree to some alerts like "The document was changed. Do you want to save it" or "Acrobat can't save bookmarks beacause..." - or something like that... I think everybody can imagine what I mean and it doesn't matter what exactly is the content of these popups...
My question: Is there a posibility to turn off all these messages? Maybe with some lines of JavaScript Code? Or pipe these messages to a text file instead of showing it on the screen?

Thanks for your answer. I mean both things, although I haven't yet a JS function so I prefer the feature Batch Processing which is part of Acrobat 6.0
Unfortunately the "Save warnings and errors in log file" preference doesn't work. I think the problem is, that these errors are special Batch Error. But this isn't what I mean...
I will now describe exactly my problem. I'm using Acrobat 6.0 and MS Excel 2003. With several Makros I created special Excel files. With some (not all) tables in the Excel file I made a group (because I want to convert only these tables...)
When I start the batch processing, the following messages appears (which I have to accept or deny... this is exactly what I want to disappear because with these messages I haven't any automatism or real "batch processing"....)
1. After starting the batch process, first message...
::Acrobat PDFMaker::
Acrobat PDFMaker have to save the document before continue. Should PDFMaker save this document and continue?
2. ...and then after some seconds...
::Acrobat PDFMaker::
'Name of my table' - Acrobat PDFMaker can make Tags, Bookmarks and Links only for tables with the printable area "Whole Table". Delete in the section "Page settings" the field "printable are" to avoid this problem.
Would you like to continue and create a PDF File without Tags?
3. .. and finally Excel also have a message for me:
::Microsoft Excel::
Save all changes in 'Name of my Excel file'?
After that the first PDF is successfully created. Then it happens something really strange. I can see in my Acrobat the little window with:
'Name of my Excel File', 2 from 2
(-a progress bar is shown with 50%-)
Please wait. Adobe PDF is making.: 100%
and then i can wait and wait and wait... But nothing more wil happens! :(
Any idea to solve these problems?
To implement the batch processing feature in an own JS function... How difficult is it? Are there any examples/experiences? And the most important thing: can i really disappear the popup messages?
Thanks and sorry for my english... ;)

PSE9: prompted for "save as" during batch processing??

In PSE 9, my process multiple files seems to have stopped working. I am trying to batch convert some CR2 files to Jpeg. When I try to run it I get prompted during the convert operation to "save as" for each individual file (and the jpeg isn't an option). This used to work, anyone know what changed?
Thanks for the help,
Jamie

Raw files work best as already open images in the Editor.
Try using open files (File à Open) then select your batch of raw files using Shift+click or cmd+click to select individual files. Wait for Camera Raw to open and click the button Select All (top left) then apply your saved default settings to all the selected images. Keep them all selected, choose 8 bits/channel and click Open Images (towards bottom right) to send the selected images into the Editor.
After the Editor opens go to the top menu bar click File >Process Multiple Files.
Set the dropdown for your source to Opened Files then for the destination, check same as source or a new folder.
At the bottom of the dialog under File Type choose the jpeg quality from the dropdown e.g. Max, High, Medium or Low.
Click OK and leave the program to run (this can take a bit of time as raw files are usually large). When finished close the Editor and return to your folder to see your Jpegs next to your raw files. Or go to your new destination folder if preferred.

File name overwrites during Batch process

Mac, OSX, CS2. (and Windows CS2, CS3)
I've searched and read plenty of posts about this problem, but I don't see any solutions. Maybe a few workarounds. So, I'll try myself. This problem does not exist prior to CS2 for me.
I'm writing an action that involves opening a PDF, trimming, etc, then saving as a TIFF.
My result is one file, overwriting itself (with the contents of my source folder) with the name of the file I used to write the Action. I don't "touch" the file name in the "save as" dialog box, but of course I have to "save as", because I need a different file format than the source.
I've been using Actions/Batch/Droplets since they became available, maybe Photoshop 4. I just don't get this.
Thanks for your consideration.

Photoshop CS5 crashes during batch process

Hi,
I got about 100 pictures. Trying to: resize+save for web...
Photoshop converts few files and...crashes.
I presume that's a configuration problem - neither scratch disk nor memory should not be the cause although here are some parameters:
My mac:
Mac OS X (10.6.4)
2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
HDD 320 GB (289 free space)
Pictures res: 5616x3744px
Picture format: .jpg
Has anyone solved problem like this (or similar)?

I have the same problem, cs5 crashes when I start batching files (raw to jpg save in my case). Sometimes after 10 sometime after 200... it's really weird. And yes it does close the files with the action I use... The crashes are really bad as it does something like a shut down which closes all programms, this also prevents crash report to open! It crashes also when I do a batching on opened files. I installed all updates and everthing, even reinstalled the programm, still the same problem :(. I still have cs4 on my mac and there batching works perfectly fine without any problems! Also for anything else cs5 works perfectly well, only batching causes me headaches.

Batch processing sequentially??

Does anyone know if there's a way add a sequential prefix (ie: 01_, 02_,03_ etc...) to a batch process?

Not directly, as far as I know. But you can sequence-name your original files using Windows Explorer (if that's your system) and then optionally include a Rename step in your Fireworks batch to format the filenames.
This works only when all the original images are in the same folder. First open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder that has your images, select all of them, and then right-click the first one. From the dropdown, select Rename. Enter a filename ("pic", for example), and hit Enter. The images will be sequentially named pic(1), pic(2), pic(3) etc.
With that, your images are now sequentially named and are ready for batch processing. Optionally, you could include Fireworks' own Rename batch process step to format the filenames to your liking. I'll describe the steps for that below.
What I'd do is replace the opening parenthesis ( with an underscore _ by using the Replace With option of the Rename step. Then once the batch finished running, I'd run a second batch with only the Rename option; this time replacing the closing parenthesis ) with nothing.
The end result is that my files are sequentially named as the following: pic_1, pic_2, pic_3 etc. You can make your own more intuitive version with a little variation.
It would be nice if FW had a more straightforward option to sequentialize batch process filenames, but this workaround usually gets the job done. I hope that will be the case with your pics as well.
You can find out more about renaming files during batch process in the Fireworks manual.

In consistency during Batch Derivation in Process Order

Hi,
During Batch Derivation in process order, multiple old batches of sender material proposing even though actually only single Batch of sender material determined, and transferring the characteristic values from old batches to the Receiver material which is in-correct. (I am working with SAP ECC 6.0)
Can any one advise if required to execute/run any program to correct the system in-consistency,
regards,
Purna

Dear Pruna,
please check if the correct level of WUL is defined in derivation rules
Mostly the problem is caused by default value 99 here. You can check and
change the value in transaction DVR2.

Infinity Component Qty Proposing during Batch Determination in Process ordr

Hi Guys,
During Batch Determination in Process order, component determination proposing with Infinity quanity (i,e 999,999,999,999) with old batches, even though there is no stock available against these batches. (MMBE)
Please advise me if I miss any config / master data maintenance.
regards,
Purna

Unfortunately, I cannot access OSS note. If you can, try to use search term Batch Determination Infinite Quantity.
Anyhow, do you have the available stock that can use for the prod.order? The OSS mentioned that the ATP at batch level also search the available stock within RLT. If none is found, then the infinite quantity is proposed. In order to avoid the search for batch stock with zero quantity, try to set the selection criteria with LOBM_MENGE > 0.
However, the best way is to archive the batch stock with zero out from the system. Use SARA with MM_SPSTOCK object, and flag "Only consider batch stock records without stocks". Only MCHB table (Batch stock records) will be deleted. The batch masters are not.
Hope it helps.

Batch process to crop odd-sized photos

Am I hoping to do the impossible?
I have photos sized 667 X 1000 I wish to crop to 200 X 400
without distorting them. My idea is to import them into a blank
canvas of 500 X 1000, save, then batch resize them to 200 X 400. Is
there a way to batch process the importing / saving step? Obviously
some of the initial photo will be cropped, but if I could set it to
top align and center the width in the blank canvas 95% of my photos
should be fine. I could then manually re-crop the photos that are
cut-off strangely.
Any suggestions? I have almost 1000 photos. TIA.

I want to crop away 5px from each edge of each picture which would then end up being 390x590px, 350x470px and 590x790px respectively.
Example:
Picture 1 : 400 x 600px    = 400:600 = 4:6 = 2:3
Picture 2 : 360 x 480px    = 36:48 = 6:8 = 3:4
Picture 3 : 600 x 800px   = 3:4
So you can record the three action to center crop your images to the 2:3 and 3:4 aspect ratios shown in your examples then use image size to size them you three example pixel sizes then use canvas size to to trim the 5 px of the border, just set the canvas to you three sizes 390x590px 350x470px and 590x790px do not check relative and leave the anchor point in the center. Five pixels will be trimmed form all sides. Any image that started with the correct 2:3 or 3:4 aspect ratios will not be cropped by the first crop only the canvas size crop will trim pixels.
To handle both Portrait and Landscape image the action would need to record a fit image step instead of the image size step a fit image step fit to longest side need to be recorded and the canvas size would need to be recorded to trim both width and height by a relative -10px.   My AspectRatioSelection plugin will automatically orient the aspect ratio recorded to the images orientation.

Essbase default data clears taking place during FDM Batch Processing

We have been trying to avoid the default FDM Essbase database clears (which are coded into the LOAD Action scripts) by writing our own data clears and adding them to one of the event scripts. This was to ensure that the data clear took place against the correct members/point-of-view.
However, when using the Batch Processing functionality of FDM Workbench, we are seeing unexpected data clears taking place, indicating that FDM is still executing the default data clears. Is there any way to disable these? We also want to ensure that our own data clears are still executed (they are in the "BefExportToDat" event scripts). Please advise!
These are the unexpected Essbase application log entries we are seeing:

Hi SH, yes you are right, I also realised this in the car on the way home! But don't you mean "A" rather than "M" (for append)?
I have tested this and it appears to be the solution - setting the second character of the fifth segment of the filename to "A" has stopped the default Essbase clears from being executed. To summarise:
To append or replace to data in FDM:
FDM Web Client: Select "Append" or "Replace" option in drop-down list, respectively.
FDM Workbench Batch Processing: Set first character of fifth segment of filename to be "A" or "R", respectively.
To append or replace to data in Essbase:
FDM Web Client: Select "1 - Merge" or "0 - Replace" option in drop-down list in Export stage of workflow, respectively.
FDM Workbench Batch Processing: Set second character of fifth segment of filename to be "A" or "R", respectively.
Thanks for your help!

Layer style screen pops up for each photo in Automate Batch processing

Please HELP! I managed to re-record an existing Action without problem. I double click on <Set Layer style on current layer> and change to a new Layer Style for my Watermark Text. The <Contour> is Linear. The Actions panel turns red during editing.
But when I run > Automate > Batch and select that edited Action, the <Layer Style> screen pops-up for each photo and the only way to finish the batch of photos is to click <OK> for each photo. I’m using Photoshop CS5. I have refresh Photoshop, restart my laptop but the problem remains.
I did another copy of the original Action and just changed the
value in <Text Layer> and it works in the Batch processing. This problem only happens when I changed the value in the <Layer Style>.
I have been looking into many forums and still could not find the solution. I appreciate some advice as soon as possible as this problem has dragged on for two weeks now.
Thank you in advance.

As silly as it sounds to be, I found a way out!
I decided to change the value again in the <Layer Style> on the same Action (ie Main WM Name 70 copy), and RUN <Automate> and on second RUN the <Layer Style> screen doesn't pop-up!
I just couldn't believe my eyes and did some rounds of testing! And it works:
a)Firstly, I will change the <Layer Style> to any value and saved it
(Just to test it, I Run <Automate> and the <Layer Style> screen pops-up at each photo)
b)Then I change again the <Layer Style> to the actual value I want
c)Run <Automate> without the <Layer Style> screen pops-up
To test further, oddly enough, if I change the <Layer Style> value the 3rd time, the pops-up screen appear again! And to overcome the same problem, I have to change the value 4th time, and the problem disappears.
So simple solution (at least for me) and yet I cracked my head for two weeks to overcome it!
Thanks for your time, c.pfaffenbichier.

How to use the same (selection) paths in multiple images for batch processing?

I have a whole bunch of photos I need to batch process, but, when creating an action for this, I stumbled upon the problem that the paths I selected with the pen tool, and saved under the "Paths" tab need to be in every image for to be used in the action. I did try to solve it for some time, but couldn't figure out. Any ideas?
Many Thanks
Carlos

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

Can we have a Real batch process

The current batch process functionality in Audition records not keystrokes, but settings; so if you record a process using the ClickPop Eliminator functionality under Restoration, you get whatever settings you used with the sound sample you used during the script recording. However, if you want to record a script that uses the very powerful Auto Find All Levels feature of the Click/Pop functionality, you're out of luck (as far as I know).
I'm in the process of cleaning up a bunch of old recordings I have and digitizing them. I can't use the click/pop setting of one for the others! They're just too different, so I've been spending hours waiting while the system samples the current audio and applies the click/pop settings. Can we get a true automation system that let's me record the fact that I want the system to run the Auto Find, then use the results to run the Click/pop eliminator. I could then process hundreds of files while I sleep instead of having to check my computer screen every five minutes and get the next step of the process running!
There are other products with better automation, but they don't do as good a job to reduce noise and eliminate clicks and pops on a wide variety of audio as Audition does. But if you know some that does, please let me know!
