Open/Close/Fullscreen Slideshow Script?

Hello everyone!
I work for a TV production company as a graphic designer, and recently my boss came to me and asked me about something in Photoshop.
He wanted to know if it's possible to run a slide show type thing where it would open an image, set it to full screen, keep it up for 5 seconds or so, then close it and open another one.
He asked me if it could be done with actions, and I tried to build actions for it, but I was unsuccessful. I told him that I wasn't able to do it with actions, but I might be able to do it with scripts and told him that I'd look into it.
So my question, is it possible? Basically what needs to be done is this...
--Open Photoshop
--Click on an action that runs a script
--The script will open Image1.jpg from the "My Images" directory
--The script will make the image full screen, and keep it there for 5 seconds, then close the image
--The script will open Image2.jpp from the "My Images" directory
--Repeat over and over with as many images we put into the directory.
One of the key things that the script needs to be able to do is... Lets say "Image1.jpg" is a picture of a dog. We need to be able to, while the script is still running, take a picture of a cat (named "Image1.jpg" as well) and overwrite the image of the dog, with the picture of the cat, and have it update while the script is running so that when it opens "Image1.jpg", it's the picture of the cat, and not the dog.
I'm very very new to scripts, never used them before although I have known they existed. Anyone able to help?
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it!

P.S. On my computer we have the CS3 suite installed, but I do have access to the CS4 suite as well.

Bridge has Slideshow capabilities builtin. Try that.

  • Fullscreen Slideshow blurred why ?

    The new Fullscreen Slideshow is very nice. But i have one Problem. I really have very sharp images but when I pack it in the slideshow and open my Page with the browser.
    All pictures in the Fullscreen Slideshow are blurred but why?

    What are the pixel dimensions of your monitor?
    The pixel dimensions for an Apple 30" Cinema Display or a 15" Retina MacBook Pro are both 2560x1600.
    At present Muse is resizing your full screen slideshow hero images during export/upload/publish to a size that's dependent on their size in Muse Design view. That was an unfortunate choice on our part. For a pending 7.x update of Muse the behavior will change to limit images to 2048 pixels in their largest dimension.
    A 4 megapixel image is generally a large download and thus the impact on page load time should be considered.

  • Fullscreen slideshow widget

    Does anyone out there know how a close button can be added to the full screen slideshow? The close button is available with a fullscreen slideshow in the lightbox mode but is not available when the lightbox check box is unchecked

    Hi Mark,
    Yes, you are right the close button is not available with the full screen slide show and is only there when you check the light box option. This is an intended behavior, as the full screen slide show can't be closed and it will remain there on the page. If you want to temporarily show the slideshow and then close it, you will need to use the lightbox option.
    There is no option in Muse at this point to have the lightbox enabled by default when the page is visited. You can add this to the ideas section on the forums.

  • Photoshop sometimes freezes after on close ('Cls ') event script

    Hi!
    We are working on integrating Photoshop with a content management system. For this we are using a synchronisation file. The cms writes the filepath of pictures to be edited to the sync file. Photoshop writes a modified flag to the sync file and/or a closed flag after work is done. This is implemented by an on save ('save') and an on close ('Cls ') event script.
    The scripts are doing fine and the whole system is working. Now our problem: Sometimes (every 50 or 100 pictures) Photshop hangs up after closing a picture.
    As far as we can conclude from the sync file and log file the close event script did complete its work without problem in such a case. But after that Photoshop freezes with doing 50% CPU load.
    Has anyone an idea what we could be doing wrong? May it have to do with the file access of our scripts (sync file and log file)? Is there any common mistake with scripting that results in the described behaviour? Is this even a problem of our scripts?
    For everyone interested I attached the scripts copied together to a single text file.
    Thanks for your help,
      Eric

  • Help, applescript to open/close an app

    I've run into a problem on creating an applescript that will open or close a specific app if it is already running, unless it was just opened. I have tried to write it two ways.
    tell aplication "calculator" to activate
    end tell
    tell aplication "calculator" to close if aplication "calculator" is running
    end tell
    Obviously this gets me noo where because it just opens and then closes the calculator. So I thought maybe i'd try reversing it.
    tell aplication "calculator" to close
    end tell
    tell aplication "calculator" to activate if aplication "calculator" is closed
    end tell
    Works for opening the calculator the first time, but then always open calculator back up once closed. I need help to write an applescript along the lines of:
    tell aplication "calculator" to activate
    end tell
    tell aplication "calculator" to close if aplication "calculator" is running unless "calculator" was activated by above tell statement
    end tell
    Or maybe an if else statement. But i think I'm going to have to have something that can check if the app is running before it closes it.
    I like assigning triggers to my F keys and just want a script I can assign to one key that will open/close my calculator. I'm open to ideas. I'm willing to bet there is an easier way to do this, but I'm new to using applescripts and could use some help.

    Try something like
    tell application "System Events"
      get name of every process whose name is "Calculator"
      if result is not {} then
           tell application "Calculator"
                quit
           end tell
      else
           tell application "Calculator"
                activate
            end tell
      end if
    end tell
    BTW when posting  a question here it is best to mark it as such. You'll get more responses if people know you are asking a question rather then just making a statement.

  • Subform ceases to open after toggling open/close 3rd time

    I have a Yes/No radio button that controls the visibility of a subform on a multi-page doc. The subform (named: Chapter) is the last subform on the page. When Yes is selected, it reveals the default hidden "Chapter "subform, while clicking "No" hides it. After 3-4 open/close iterations, the subform suddenly fails to open after clicking “Yes” again.
    What's weird is that you can the subform is being rendered (behind the scenes) because the Page number in the footer increases by 1 to signify content has been added to the document, HOWEVER, the subform doesn't become visible, nor can I scroll down to view the page where it would/should have opened.
    Simply put, I'm using a radio button on the Change event with the following script:
    if (this.rawValue == "1"){
    Chapter.presence = "visible";
    if (this.rawValue == "2"){
    Chapter.presence = "hidden";
    Again, the script works for the most part but it all of sudden stops opening the subform after the 3rd or 4th attempt. It almost seems like some type of system bug that's REALLY annoying given how simple this is...
    Other info:
    - I'm using Designer ES2
    - Form has a target version of 9.0/9.1
    - Using Acrobat XI to render form outside of Livecycle
    - The Chapter subform contain other nested subforms, and is set to "Follow Previous" and also Allowed to Page break within Content.
    Any ideas what could be causing this to happen???

    Did you ever get anywhere with this? I have the same issue and nobody in #winehq knows what to do about it.
    Steam community disabled, and this issue has been happening for several Wine versions, across several Nvidia drivers.

  • Open/close 2 doors at the same time

    Im having trouble (again).. this time - I need to open/close
    two doors at the same time with the activation being from a button
    (object) that is not linked to the doors. How can i get this done?
    In addition to this, can i get lights to turn on/off at this very
    same moment. For instance green light you can open the door... red
    light door is already open.. or in process of open/close. Any help
    is appreciated!

    jah_p,
    I would use an object-oriented approach, using parent scripts
    as the object envelop, so to speak;
    if you are not familiar with object-oriented programming, you
    would need at least a day to get it under control; once you have
    figured it out you would create one generic 'door' object which
    would have rotation amounts and opening and closing
    methods/functions in it;
    when you would instantiate a new door 'object' you would feed
    it the door model that you want to open/close;
    example:
    [ code]
    global purple_door_object
    global yellow_door_object
    on startmovie
    purple_door = member("your_world").model("purple_door")
    purple_door_object = script(
    "generic_parent_script_for_doors" ).new( me , purple_door )
    yellow_door = member("your_world").model("yellow_door")
    yellow_door_object = script(
    "generic_parent_script_for_doors" ).new( me , yellow_door )
    end
    [/code]
    so at the beginning of the movie you create the door
    'objects';
    later when you press a button or whatever you would call one
    of these objects, or both, and tell them to do their thing, such as
    'open';
    example:
    [code]
    global purple_door_object
    global yellow_door_object
    on someevent
    purple_door_object.open_it( )
    yellow_door_object.open_it( )
    end
    [/code]
    your generic door object parent script would look something
    like this:
    [code]
    property this_door_model
    property total_degrees_to_open
    property amount_to_open_each_frame
    on new me , arg_door_model
    this_door_model = arg_door_model
    total_degrees_to_open = 85
    amount_to_open_each_frame = 3
    return me
    end
    on open_it me
    -- the 'me' thing is confusing; you will have to read up on
    it; I can't explain it;
    -- here you will probably create a timeout object that will
    call a rotate script every 50 milliseconds or so; and you will have
    to do the math to see if the door is completely open yet; if so
    then kill the timeout
    end
    [/code]
    I hope that this helps;

  • How to I get iPhoto to stop opening in fullscreen mode?

    Every time I open iPhoto, it opens in fullscreen mode. It's as if there is a setting that has been set for it to do it(though I've checked the settings and there's no such thing). I usually exit fullscreen mode in the usual way and it cooperates, but then sure enough, the next time I open it up, it's in fullscreen mode again. Additionally, perhaps it is linked to this problem, everytime I open iPhoto, it tells me that "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your[my] library" and that I should "click Repair to avoid any potential problems". I've clicked repair numerous times but it still gives me the same message the next time I start the program. I've tried deleting the iPhoto plist file and that has not helped either.
    Another side note that may be similar is that Terminal always opens in fullscreen just like iPhoto.

    Alright, I fixed the problem!
    A more in depth description of the process, some credit for its origins, why it works, and how else you can use it can be found here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17269094#17269094
    But basically, you do the following:
    1. Navigate to "~/Library/Saved Application State/"
    2. Find "com.apple.iPhoto.savedState"
    3. Move it to the Trash
    4. Launch iPhoto
    Also, to solve the issue involving "Repairing" the Library, I had to navigate to the file "iPhoto library" (in ~/Users/dro8654/Pictures) and edit its "Sharing & Permissions" preferences such that only MY user was allowed to "Read & Write"
    This discussion was what helped me with this:

  • Open Close Periods

    Hi,
       I have a requirement that access to the transaction for OPEN CLOSE PERIODS
       (S_ALR_87003642) needs to be provided only to the users who are authorized
       to open close periods for specific company codes. This transaction does not
       have a user interface and displays all the data for all the company codes
       irrespective to the authorization of the user for accessing the transaction for only
       specific company codes.
       I need to display data only for specific compnay codes based on the user
       authorization. Is it possible to achieve this functionally assuming that the user
       has authorization set up to access and modify data only for specific company
       codes and not to all.
    Thanks,
    Vamseedhar K

    Hi
    I think you can use authorization object S_TABU_LIN, please check with basis security guy.

  • OPEN\CLOSE POSTING PERIOD

    Hi everyone,
    I'm working on a system with different company code, each company code has a posting period variant.
    My question is:
    Is there the possibility (by tcode 'OB52') that more users can, at the same time, open\close posting periods related to them posting period variant?
    In practice, my customer asks me:
    AT THE SAME TIME: - user x (company X) modifies posting periods of PPV '001' and user y (company Y) modifies posting periods of PPV '002'...
    Is it possible???
    thank you in advance..

    Hi Jason,
    Probably I may not recommend this. These are most critical activities. We do not the dependency of the tables. Meaning that the table could be linked to many other tables and fields in database. This may end up in data integrity issues.
    These are not the activities that we should do on a daily basis. Normally we open and close the period on a monthly basis and open this screen for few minutes or so. I would suggest first user can go and change and then he come back and the second person may change.
    Since this a very critical activity, anything wrong would impact all other modules, as the data is moving from all other modules to FI.
    Therefore, I would only recommend one by one to change OB52 OR give the authority to a centralized person in order to open and close the periods.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a "per day" basis?

    Hi SAP gurus,
    Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a per day basis?
    It is not possible in OB52 since it only has control per period and not per day.
    Will assign points for suggestions. =) Thanks!

  • GL - Open/Close Periods

    After setting up Set of books (along with chart of accounts, calendar, and functional currency, etc.) I opened the first period as Dec 04, although my first financial year will be from January 05 to Dec 05. Then I tried opening next period (which should Jan 05) but the concurrent process failed.
    I thought it might be because there is no data in Dec 04 (i.e. current period). I then used journals to post account balances (for assets and liabilities + shareholders equity) to Jan 04. Then I closed the current period and tried to open next period again but the concurrent process failed!
    Please tell me what I need to do in non-technical language, so that next period can open. I am a functional user, not a technical consultant!
    No concurrent reports were produced but the View log is pasted below. Please note that I did define calendar periods before defining Set of Books and the periods are all in the LOV window for Open/Close!
    OOAP0010: Please define Calendar Periods before opening them.

    Hi Everyone,
    I've been able to resolve this problem by myself. If you care to know, the problem was with calendar validation. I didn't check the concurrent validation report before assigning the calendar to my SOB. I have now checked it and corrected the error. I can now open and close periods. Let me know if you need more info.

  • Open/close periods menu

    I want to design a menu for one user who is responsible for open/close all ebs periods.
    I have 2 Set of Books means 2 periods for GL.
    I have 2 each operating units and inventory orgs means 4 each for purchasing/inventory/ap/ar
    I have designed menu but its not working.
    I have created a 4 menus with responsibilities assigned OU Wise from system profile option but its not working.
    Yours help required.

    I am not a functional expert, but several profile options (MO Operating Unit, GL Set of Books etc) will have to be set at the responsibility level for each responsibility in order for them to pick up the correct SOB. I believe this is documented in the GL Manuals at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_18/current/html/docset.html

  • Clarify these words:posting period varients & open & close posting period

    Hi Sap Gurus,
    Someone kindly make me clarify following words.Thank you.
    1.Posting period varient.
    2.Open & close posting periods
    3.Assign posting period varients to company code-What does it do after assignment?

    Hi,
    It is very easy and understandble.
    1.Posting period varient.
    If you want to post any documents you need to enter some date right? That date would belongs to some posting period right?.
    for Example your Fin.period is JAN to DEC. Means 01 is for Jan, 12 is for DEC, 05 for May.
    So according to your requirement you have to create the variant and define what do you want.
    2.Open & close posting periods
    When you in operation and if you are posting a document in the month of Feb. the period Jan has been closed it will avoid the mistakes while posting to the different periods.
    3.Assign posting period varients to company code-What does it do after assignment?
    Once you have created your company code and your posting variant. You are assign to make the link to both the level.
