Path Deletion Script

i currently have a script which contains a line for deleting all of the channels in a tif file:
activeDocument.channels.removeAll()
and this works fine. i would like to add the necessary code to also delete all of the paths in a file. i tried adding the line: activeDocument.paths.removeAll() but i received an error message.
does anyone know the correct way to do this? please advise.
thanks.

thank you both so much for your replys. it have incorporated your suggestions and the sript seems to be working fine.
i have one more related question: i notice that in some of the scripts i already have there is a semi-colon at the end of most of the lines but not all. for example:
activeDocument.flatten();
activeDocument.channels.removeAll()
activeDocument.pathItems.removeAll();
does it make a difference one way or another?
finally, i am new to the forums and saw that i was only able to give 1 correct answer or 2 helpful so i wasn't sure the correct protocol for situations where there are 2 apparantly correct solutions. but now, even though i have 2 correct solutions, it shows up as only "possibly answered". is there a way to edit this? please let me know if there is a proper way to handle this on the forums. thanks again for everything.
jh
If you are flattening the document first, then the warning about deleting vector masks for the current layer won't apply to you, you are good to removeAll.
From what I remember, adding the ';' at the end of each line is 'proper' javascript, and I believe was once required. It often doesn't matter from what I've seen (I am often lazy and forget/neglect to use it myself) as many scripts will run just fine whether it is there or not. I believe it still is required in certain circumstances, although I am not completely sure what they are.
I don't know how the Adobe system uses it's points, not sure what to tell you on that.

"Echo" error from deletion script.

Hey forum!
I've got this deletion script (attached) that's throw back
this error:
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to
URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing
name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I don't understand what the problem is. When i look up that
error i find that usually that error is called by bad echoes, but
my script doesn't have any. Any help or tips is appreciated!
Thanks,
John

By the way, the script is working as intended.
Thanks again

Encoding error occurs using parameter "default path for scripts"

Hello,
assume we have a script "/home/artur/tymczasowe/test.sql". I can execute it using SQL Developer by:
@/home/artur/tymczasowe/test.sql
Everything works as expected.
Then I set parameter "Tools - Preferences - Database - Worksheet - Default path to look for script" to "/home/artur/tymczasowe" and executed:
@test.sql
This time national characters has been lost, everyone replaced with "�".
The script content:
--create table a(enc varchar2(8), data varchar2(255));
delete from a;
insert into a(enc, data) values ('cp1250', 'zażółć gęślą jaźń');
commit;
Operating system is Debian Squeeze amd64, Developer version is 3.1.07, Build MAIN-07.42. This problem occurs using previous, 3.0.* versions too.

Defining paths in scripts..... in need of a guru

Here's a problem that Bridge scripts are having...
If you have a volume named Users, the image processor, 1-2-3, AOM scripts won't run because as the paths are defined they will look in the volume "User" not the folder "Users" for files etc.... it's described better here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3477465#3477465
the problem also exists if you try to use the merge HDR pro script, if you have a volume named "Applications" on your desktop.
here's the KB for this similar problem:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/852/cpsid_85275.html
you can replicate these problems by simply naming any external drive "Users" for the output script errors, or "Applications" for the HDR script errors. After renaming simply try any of the above scripts.
Adobe is currently looking into fixing the scripts, but I know there are some scripting gurus around here that might have already encountered these types of problems and might have a speedy fix to the problem.... any thoughts?
many thanks.

-- I should also mention this is a Mac only problem.

As long as there is mankind, and technology there are going to be problems!
There's nowt wrong with my N95-1 and I'll be sticking with it for some time.
You can get a bad phone - just like you can get a bad car, washing machine, stereo etc, etc.
As long as the phone works OK there are often ways of improving limitations. Battery life is poor on my N95 'computer' but I have a rechargeable li-polymer external battery pack I bought for use with a PDA, it's very pocketable, reasonably light weight and would give me about 3 x recharges of my N-95.
Frankly though I would avoid the N95 8GB - I don't like the idea of fixed memory and no memory card slot. If that fixed memory goes pear shaped, what then? At least with removable flash memory you can whip it out and put another one in. Micro SD-HC cards are expected to go up to at least 32GB in size, they are very small, very light and as is usually the case, they will eventually fall in price.
Horses for courses! Good luck with whatever model you decide to get.Message Edited by keenas on 27-Oct-200709:19 AM

Default path for scripts within SQL Developer version 3.2.20.09.87

I have SQL Developer version 3.2.20.09.87 and needed to know if the 'Set default path to look for scripts' be a UNC path?
Thanks

I hadn't tried it but now I did and it worked.
I also tried setting the Utilities Export default file location to a UNC path and I was able to set it but when I try to go to it via the 'browse' button, it doesnt go to it. It does, however, use it when I export.
Also when I do File > Open, I'm not able to navigate to UNC paths via the 'Home' or 'Desktop' buttons on the left hand side of the window and am not able to navigate to a network location from the 'Locations' box.
Any ideas? I am on Windows 7.
Thanks

Not able to access local path for script file

Hi All,
I am integration my application (built in Asp.Net/Vb.Net) with InDesign Server CS4.
InDesignServer is installed on separte machine other than the machine on which application is running.
All of the scripts and indd files are placed on the machine (on which application is running):
When I send SOAP request to the InDesign Server from my application. I get following error:
"Cannot find the folder for the script "C:\ Path of the Script (.jsx)"
Please let me know how to manage this error.
It would be great if I get following doubts clerified:
1. Is it required to put network-path for the script files when InDesign Server is running on different machine and client machine is on other machine?
Kind Regards...
Prashant

I get the same error, I'd like to know if anybody can help me here??

3. Server Name (RD45)
I want to execute a powershell scritp in my local machine(Test1) and in that script I want to pass the above three parameters.Now I want to excute the StopAllService.ps1 script into RD45 server. But the script is available in RD101 machine.
So What I want to here How can we do this ? I have script name and script folder path and target execution server name.

Hi,
You got 2 solutions for your problem:
1- If you have permission to run scripts in the remote computer without specifying your credential,
then, the first reply solve your problem.
2- If you have permission to run scripts in the remote computer
having to specify your credential, l then,
my solution solves your problem.
If the remote computer requires signed scripts only, you need signed script. Period. Or are you trying to break remote computer security?
If you need signed script, there's no psdrive that'll circumvent such requirement.
The problem is that the execution policy is set to "RemoteSigned". Using the URL explicitly tags that script as being from a remote source, and the policy blocks it. The PSDrive provides a local reference for the script. It does not
sign the script but the local drive reference may prevent it from being blocked for being from a remote source. I'll test that later.
Script signing is not and should never be considered a security measure. It is easily circumvented by running the script using powershell.exe, and using the -ExecutionPolicy parameter to override whatever the local execution policy setting is.

CUP Connector Deletion script

Hi everyone,
I have, yet again, an issue, and this time, it's with deleting data. For the purpose of this discussion, we are working on our sandbox system.
In our CUP issues from the past (SUMMARY: BASIS upgraded, without letting us know, and now our AE 5.2 is not working, and we are trying to figure it out), we finally went to SAP and now SAP is trying to run some of their scripts to get to the bottom of our issue.
It turns out we have a few connectors in CUP, with roles associated with them, that aren't really connected to any system. These connectors were created as place holders for non SAP systems so that "roles" on those systems could be included in requests and they could flow through the workflow.
Anyway SAP says that's not going to work - either the connectors should be in working order or they need to be deleted, since deactivating the connectors still prevents their testing from proceeding.
However, deleting the connectors isn't easy - CUP won't let me delete the connector as roles are associated with them, and there are also requests (test requests from the past) that are associated with those connectors.
SAP came back with a list of tables from where we can go through and just delete the rows of data that are associated with the connectors.
Before doing something like that, I wanted to get your thoughts and know if there are any scripts that have already been put together for such a purpose.
Thanks,
Santosh

Hello Santosh,
SAP did used to provide scripts to delete data from GRC applications. Requests from CUP, Management reports data from RAR etc.. This was the way earlier as there was no way available from within the applications to delete this sort of data.. Connectors in GRC applications cant be deleted without deleted associated data and scripts were used earlier to accomplish this task..
I would still recommend that you take backup of GRC database so that it could be restored in case..

Shake on a new Mac (path to scripts is different)

I have recently moved Shake from a G5 to a Mac Pro.
If I open Scripts I created on the G5 the path to my data volume (which is the same external drive I was using) is relative to the G5
i.e. there is an identifier in the path (....g5/Volumes/Scratch Disk/...etc)
Is there a way to change this path globally in Shake to remove all the bits before Volume?
Otherwise I have to reload every File-in for every project!

Have realised this probably can't be done because the problem is in each Script file (not a Shake pref).
Ok have found a workaround.
If I change the path in the Script using textedit for each FileIn, that works (a lot quicker copy/pasting than manually loading each piece of media).
Thanks anyway.

Get path of script you're running

I know you can get path of the documet you're working on activeDocument.path, but can you get the path of the script you're running as well?

If you want the path of a running script you could use..
function WhoAmI() {
var where;
try {var F = FO;
}catch( err ) {where = File(err.fileName);}
return where;
As for using:- photoshop.executeScript (photoshop.jsx);
This is supposed to do an eval, so it's not executing "photoshop.jsx" it is trying to evaluate it into a command.
I have never seen a working example of executeScript and have never managed to get it to work.

How can I delete Scripts from my Apple Cmptr?

I downloaded Scripts from your website. I don't like it. How can I delete this?

Is that an extensions or a theme (persona) (Tools > Add-ons) ?
