Oh no... Big PS Actions problems.

Good Morning!
I'm in a right old pickle, and could you some Photoshop wizardery.
I'll go in to as much detail as possible, so try not to get lost...
We have lots of Actions setup for the various products we design. These Actions when run, will take the image/product we have and resize, save, resize again, and save again in various locations across a network. We've had these actions since way back, like CS2, and they've worked like a dream right through to CS5 for a short while, then all of sudden, BOOM, when it comes to the save file command in the action, its starting renaming the file to a file thats already in the destination folder - resulting in wrong file names for images, let me explain further...
example:
i have a destination folder called MUSIC POSTERS (one of many folders the action saves to) on a backup computer on the network.
In this folder i have:
GUNS N ROSES.jpg
MOTORHEAD.jpg
EMINEM.jpg
If i take a new poster, say motorhead.eps and run the action, it will resize ok, but the save command will then place the name EMINEM in the save dialog!? resulting in us having a motorhead poster called EMINEM.jpg and the original EMINEM.jpg file overwritten!
I'm aware of the fact that if when writing an Action and you manually type a file name into the dialog, it will record that name and use from there on out, but i certainly didnt do this, and it's worked fine for years.
Upon looking in all the folders it saves to - it saves correctly to only one folder, this folder is on the same drive as 2 of the other folders which it doesnt save correctly to 0 which makes me think its not a problem with the drive on the network (because its managing to save at least one correctly.)
I've tried a couple troubleshooting's - re-written the action many times, tried storing and loading/using the actions from a folder on my Artwork Partition (my computer is partitioned into SYSTEM, and ARTWORK), and also tried storing and loading/using the actions from within Photoshops Actions folder within the applications folder.
Problem No.2 - occassionally the steps within actions will rearrange themselves, duplicate themselves, or even remove themselves!
Any clues please?
just downloaded and installed latest patch, still no luck.
The same actions are installed on 5 machines (each working from there own locally stored copies of the actions) and we all have the same problem, how can they all have corrupt!?

PA40 - Termination/Leaving Action - problems delimiting IT0014

Hi all,
For an upgrade from ecc 4.7 tot ECC 6.0 (ehp 4) I am testing some actions.
I've tested the Hire action and this test was successful. No Iu2019m testing the Termination/Leave Action. When I want to save the Organizational Assignment screen I get a message that the delimiting of IT0014 has failed.
Is anyone familiar with this problem? If so, could you tell me what I can do to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance!

On (release) action problem - how to fix the loading issue?

Hi,
I'm making a progress with the website in Flash. I have pretty much things already done. Motion tweens that change alpha in percentage ammount are working correctly - I've used them for loading pages but I encountered a one tiny problem...
Describing the website: there are buttons that - when you click - play an animation (motion tween with alpha changing) to load a proper page that is pinned with a particular button. So: home button loads the home page, bio button loads the bio page etc. All pages go with the motion tween - they fade in the website (from alpha 0% to 100%). Everything is fine and the website with everything works just perfect! But: there's one thing that doesn't keep me calm. When I open my website in a browser to test it and I click on each button to load pages - everything is ok, but when I want to click the same button few times - other things are being loaded by clicking the same button.
For instance: I click the "bio" button once and it loads my biography page with the motion tween as I described before. But when I want to click it secondly or thirdly it doesn't load my biography page anymore but a page before that one (in this case: home page). When I click it again the button loads my bio page again. So - in sum - it doesn't load the same page all the time, but randomly: the proper one or the one before (in the timeline).
My AC code for each button is simple, for example:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(173);
Also I've got the "actions" layer that carries stop(); command in places that are for it.
I tried with _root.gotoAndPlay and also with frame_number +1 and always the same problem.
I hope it isn't anything serrious and can be fixed.
I'll be very grateful for help.
Greets!
J.J.

As I explained in my post: I test my website in the browser (firefox), I click on a particular button which loads a particular section. It works with all buttons but sometimes when I click the button an incorrect section appears.
For example: I click biography button, and the biography section appears. Then I click contact button and contact section appears. Then when I want to see biography section again and click on the biography button, the biography section doesn't appear but the other section appears, for instance: home section, about section, gallery section or other from what I have.
Concluding from the entire description I've placed above in the topic I don't know why this thing happens and I need some help how to fix this issue of loading sections firstly correct and then, after some clicking - incorrect.
I hope I really presented it clearly.

Big Time Capsule Problems

I'm having big problems with my time capsule.
I've had it a week and the first backup is not yet done. Today I have spent 6 hours watching it say 'preparing' but never backing up. Now it is saying 'failed' because 'The backup disk image could not be mounted.' What is going on?
Please help - I've spent nearly a week on this and I'm sick of it. It's not what I xpect from apple.

I have been having problems with Time Capsule being unable to create disk image or not mounting, on and off since I got it about a year ago. I have gleaned a series of different assists, which I apply en mass, each time I need to reset and start all over.
Here are the key things to do to rid it of gremlins. (I don't know whether they all help or one is the key to my problems)
1/ Network name. In system folder> Sharing make sure there is a name of your network. Less than eight characters and no punctuation.
2/ Run disk utility to verify and repair disks
3/ In TC preferences, select no disc.
4/ Turn off TC at wall.
5/ Delete the sparse bundle (Created by TC)
6/ Erase the disk (In disk utility), if it will allow you
7/ Change name of Time capsule in TC preferences. Same again, less than 8 and no punctuation
8/ Turn back on and select disk, newly named disc.
9/ Try backing up.
Even if you have done some of these before, I always need to make minor adjustments to the disc or network names to kickstart it again. This will necessitate a 24hour full HD backup to take place, and will wipe what is already on your disc.

Ps CS6 Action problem: New document created with "Preset: Clipboard" is misnamed

Ps CS6 v13.0.1
OS X 10.6.8
In an Action, File > New with "Preset: Clipboard" ignores the specified document name and uses one of the following names when the clipboard definitely does hold valid content:
1. The name that was applied by the previous invocation of File > New in a session.
2. No name if Action is run before File > New has been used in current session.
Only when the clipboard has no valid content will the newly created document be given the specified name.

The Color Profile seems to work differently between CS5 and CS6. In CS5 when I use menu File>New and there is something in the clipboard I see Preset clipboard as the dedault setting and see my current Photoshop color setting profile set in as the color profile. I pasted a ProPhoto selection into the clipboard. When I do the same in CS6 and use File>New I see Preset Clipboard as the default setting but the color profile is not my Photoshop Color setting its ProPhotoRGB the same as I pasted into the clipboard. However if I close CS6 down. Then start CS6 and do menu File>New I see Preset Clipboard as the default setting and the corol profile is my Photoshop color setting profile sRGB not ProPhotoRGB that in the clibpoard. So I feel the copy to clipboard from Photoshop triggers something internally to change the profile in CS6 it not something that gets set in the clipboard for the ProPhotoRGB override does not happen if I shut Photoshop down and restart it.
I think I like the CS6 change. Noel I wrote that for you I want you to know I don't think CS6 is all bad. This change should help one from getting profiles mismatches. CS6 is still the buggest Phoshop around. It does not stop working as smuch as it did befor the 13.0.1 update. And when it does there a chance Autosave may save the day. The last Photoshop stop working message I got from windows was when I tried to run a script. There were no open document so nothing to recover. After terminating CS6 and restarting it the script work without a problem.

Regarding JSF Default action problem in IE

Hi,
I am using Jsf:Default action inside my submit button.In my form I have row of two buttons submit and reset.When I use my tab focus on reset button and when I am clicking enter submit default action is getting fired rather reset action.More over if I am using spacebar after tab focus reset button is called as expected.The problem identified is only with IE browsers
In case of Mozilla,default action is overridden by tab focus action and working properly.
Please advise me how to solve this issue in IE
Note:The j4j:defaultAction custom component included in the j4j tag libraries allows you to define the default action for a form by adding <j4j:defaultAction /> as a child tag to the commandButton tag.

Amit,
Thanks for your answer. I fixed it using javascript .First I got all the buttons in the DOM and did a check to find if there is any current focus using document.activeElement.type="button" else to go with default submit action.
Thanks,
Ravi

ADF BC/Faces - Order of validation / backing bean action problem

Hello,
I want the user to enter the same "operation date" into all adf faces table rows created in one batch (one transaction).
So I removed operation date field from the table and added "unbound" date field above the table. The date field value is then copied into all new rows in background. This process is invoked from backing bean from Commit button actionListener method.
The problem is the validation of the operation date in entity is executed before a new date value is copied into the date attribute (validation of model is in JSF lifecycle executed prior invoking actions in backing beans).
It means the user can enter dead lock when he enters invalid date (for example date higher then a valid value).
Then after commit:
1. First validation is ok (wrong date value haven't been copied into model yet)
2. backing bean copy action is executed - model now contains wrong date value
3. Validation before commit isn't successfult - error message is displayed
4. User corrects the date value and presses commit again but:
5. First validation is not successful - model still contains recent wrong date value - error message is displayed again
6.There is no way out from this situation
I'm going to override lifecycle to be able to invoke copy method before validation cycle. Is this solution acceptable? Do you have any other suggestion?
Thank you.
Rado

hi Rado
Would it make sense to design your ADF BC View Objects in some kind of master-detail shape that fits your data?
View Object : OperationMaster (OperationDateAttr, ...)
View Object : OperationDetail (OperationAttr1, OperationAttr2, ...)
View Link : OperationDetailForMasterVL (based on some attribute that keeps the detail rows together)
You would need some Application Module method that does the "row batch setup", but it look like your already have something like this.
A change to OperationMaster.OperationDateAttr could update all its detail rows date attribute.
I think that building a UI on this would be less "view layer dependant".
Just a suggestion.

Jan Vervecken

CommandButton onClick() action problem

Hi every one ,
I want to execute an Ajax function when clicking on submit button before submitting the page like this :
<h:commandButton value="Go" onclick="myFun();" action="#{myController.getPropertyName}"/>where this javascript function will show a yes/no message then an Ajax function will be executed according to the user choice.
The problem is that the j.s function is not even executed but the action is submitted directly.
And from what i understood is that JSF reserves onclick() function to execute "action" property, that's why it can't feel the onclick() i wrote.
I also tried using onmousedown() instead but still the action is submitted directly.
Any suggestions ?

Hesham wrote:
Yes, i thought so but i can't change the JSF version used in the project, so is there a way to overcome this ?Perhaps one of the other events fired by the button will be sufficient (e.g., onmouseup). You could also try to implement your own component for this.

Bridge CS4 Batch Action Problem

When using CS2 I was in the habit of working first from RAW, then creating a folder-full of .psd files, that I then converted to .jpg files by choosing Tools/Photoshop/Batch so that Bridge could run my DIY psd-to-jpg action sequentially on all the file I had selected in Bridge. In Bridge CS4 I'm having real problems doing this as Bridge so far won't seem to let me tell it where to look for an action file- the Tools/Photoshop/Batch dialogue doesn't seem to give me the option of loading an action, I can't seem to find where to *copy* my .atn file so that it shows up in the list of actions in the Tools/Photoshop/Batch dialogue as it should... and so on. It seems there's quite a few niggles like this that many people seem to spend a lot of precious time dealing with when upgrading say from CS2 to CS4 ... anyhow,
any suggestions? thanks in advance, Richard E

Folder Action Problems with Leopard 10.5.8

My company recently upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 and our folder actions have been stopping mid-process or not working at all. Sometimes a few files will process and then everything stops completely.
Our workflow involves the use of several different hot folders that use folder actions (converting InDesign CS4 documents to various quality of PDFs). All of the actions are single stream, meaning each folder does the action it's assigned and the original file is trashed and the new file remains in the folder. There are no subsequent folder actions that pull from the newly processed files. We also only run one folder action (with several files dropped in it) at a time.
I have also tried running a pre-made generic folder action script from Apple and it, too will stop mid-process, process a few files then stop, or not work at all.
Does anyone know what might be causing this problem with either the new Applescript or Folder Actions with Leopard 10.5.8?

I have several scripts that all work different ways. One script I have opens the InDesign document, exports a PDF to a different folder located elsewhere on the hard drive (where a different script searches for PDFs). After this the original document is sent to the trash. Nothing new is created in the original Folder Action Scripted folder.
What's more, even Apple's stock Folder Actions don't work properly and stop mid-process. I've seen vague reports of 10.5.8 having issues with Applescript or Leopard in general. The fact this script works perfectly in 10.4.11 makes me think that something has changed with the way Leopard handles the FA's.

Big and strange problem with my Zen Touch, please he

I have had my Zen Touch since October and I have never had a problem with it, but suddenly yesterday I stopped for no obvious reason, it just froze.
I have since tried to reset it a number of times, and everytime it goes into something called "recovery mode", where I can "clean up", "format all" "reload firmware" or "reboot". Only reboot works, when I try to choose the other options it just says "harddisk problem".
I have then tried to upgrade the firmware through USB 2.0, but it freezes shortly into the process...
So now I don?t know what to do, I really hope that some of you can help me... Thanks a lot

Well that's a big problem, but it's certainly not a strange one. In fact, it seems to happen to pretty much every Zen Touch ever.Last time it happened to mine I fixed it by putting the player in its case and dropping it on the floor. I'm not even joking.Edit: By the way, this usually means the hard dri've is stuck, particularly if your player is new. Smackin' it around a little really does help.Message Edited by debaser on 04-06-2005 02:8 AM

ALSB 2.5 Validate action problem

My problem is that when I issue a "Validate" step in my ALSB Console using a given schema, and I post a test message (using the ALSB console) I receive a "Failed to perform validation" error.
The problem is not with the test message nor with the schema.I performed a "Schema Validation" on XML Spy and both the test message and XML Schema validated successfully.
Is there a logged problem with ALSB25 regarding the use of the "Validate" action?
Below is a snapshot of the error message I receive when I post the test message
<con:fault xmlns:con="<a href="http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/context">http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/context</a>">
<con:errorCode>BEA-382000</con:errorCode>

Thanks,

It sounds like you are not routing or passing the right soap message to the EJB business service. To have the exact shape of the expected XML, use the test console, and look at the complete request document. This is what you need to pass if the proxy service is anyXml.

Photoshop Actions: Problem with layer groups

I have recorded several photoshop actions with multiple adjustment layers in layer groups. They work perfectly fine, as long as I do not run a second action with a layer group in it.
As soon as I run a second action with layer groups, the layer order is completely random and messed up. How can I avoid this problem?

V4.0 Dynamic Action - Problem with implementing disabling/enabling button

I'm having trouble implementing the following APEX V4.0 dynamic action:
The enabling/disabling of a button when a text field is not-null/null.
I'm following the example in Oracle's Advanced APEX course notes Pgs 5-13 to 5-16. I can get it working with no problems using two text fields. The example states that the "Select Type" for the button is a DOM object and you then have to enter it's name in "DOM Object" attribute. The example uses a "CREATE" button in a region position. Is "CREATE" just the Name attribute of the object? Is that what we are suppose to enter here? Also my FIND button is a "button among the region items" and not a "button in a region position" as in the example. The name of the button is P1_PAT_TBRN_SEARCH but when I use it as the Dom Object, nothing happens. Also I am using the "Key release" event for the text field that must be not-null.
I notice that Demitri Gielis on his blog couldn't get it working either (see last paragraph)
http://dgielis.blogspot.com/2010/01/apex-40-dynamic-actions-part-1.html
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance

Hi Paul
Two separate situtations here:
- html buttons
- template based buttons, typically comprising multiple html elements
HTML Buttons
These should be easy to enable/disable using dynamic actions, specifying an appropriate DOM selector.
Typically you would use the ID attribute of the button, so that's straight forward except for one catch..
APEX supports a #BUTTON_ID# template substitution tag , but performs substitutions only for buttons in Region positions and not for button items.
Use button attributes instead to assign a specific ID.
Template Buttons
Since these are made up of multiple elements, you need to treat them as a single object to be able to interact with them easily.
APEX provides the apex.widget.initPageItem method to integrate plugins with the dynamic actions framework:
apex.widget.initPageItem("P1_MY_ITEM", {
enable: function(){},
disable: function(){},
getValue: function(){},
setValue: function(){},
nullValue: "%null%"
});This provides you with a mechanism to over-ride one or all of these built-in methods with your own JS, to use custom code to enable/disable your template buttons.
For an example on how this works, look in the uncompressed apex_widget_4_0.js file, search for the shuttle widget.
You could just add code to initialize your template buttons manually, or better still create a plugin button to add the code automatically.
This is reasonably advanced work to do, but you really have to take your hat of to the APEX team for providing the mechanism to do it.

Mark

Validating actions problem

Hi, I went through page 7-8 of following link
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/edf6ea90-0201-0010-7696-a68662381c12
Difference between my project and tutorial is I have instead if Date field another RadioButtonGroupedByKey. Anyway, I did the actions, parameters, key mapping, and code and after no errors deploying when I press "Not Married" field is not going red like on the picture but I get
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDIllegalArgumentException: Parameter Key not found
When I press "Married Since" same error appears. So, it's clear there's some "Key" problem, mapping whatsoever is not clear for me, anyway I think I did all that those two pages of tutorial said and cant find mistake on my own. Please, any advice will be most welcome. Johnny.
