Post-Processing limit on number of files?

Hello,
When I export a set of pictures, I apply a post-processing Photoshop droplet to that applies the Imagenomic Portraiture filter. It works fine up to a certain point. I noticed that if the number of files is less than 21, it works fine. If the number is greater, it fails to perform the post-processing and won't even launch Photoshop to apply the droplet action.
Has anyone encountered a file limit problem with post-processing in export?

I'll assume you are talking about Windows and not Mac since I cannot speak about Mac's. In Windows, the export action is invoked by passing the filenames on a command line to the program/script that you specify. There are limits to how many characters can be passed on a command line, depending on which method the programmers used. I expect the limit is 2048 characters. When that limit is reached, then the action does nothing.
The only way to increase the number of photos you can process, is to change the export folder name to something very short, like C:\Temp, or even shorter. By default, it exports to a very long path name an putting that in front of each photo name eats up valuable characters.
There will still be a limit, but at least you can process more before failure.

  • Limit to number of files that can be moved or copied?

    I'm trying to move the contents of the "previous systems" folder (from my update to Leopard) to an external harddrive, but when I drag and drop the file name it starts the process but stays at "preparing to copy 16,850 items." It's still on that message in the dialogue box with the barber pole over an hour later.
    My question is: Is there a limit to the number of files that can be moved/copied at one time? Or does it just take a very long time?
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks, Katy. I left it up all night and it was in the same place in the morning, so I'm assuming it isn't going to go what I need done in one fell swoop. I had to relaunch Finder before the dialogue box would go away.
    Moving all those files will have to wait, I guess, until I have enough time to break them into manageable chunks.

  • Is there a limit to number of File items loaded to a single portal page?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of File items that can be loaded to one single portal (10.1.4) content page?
    thanks,
    Bret

    Hi Arnaud,
    Don't recall that we ever investigated a threshold value where portal was not performing anymore. It also depends on other circumstances as well :
    - what kind of caching is used on the page, i.e. pages cached on system level for a period of 24 hours will generally perform well, even if they have a large number of file items. The performance penalty is paid by the person who needs to generate the page from the back-end database.
    - Are all files in a single region or are they divided over several regions. I seem to recall that we use a fetcher thread for each region.
    My advice :
    Built a prototype, add file items to a page and start load tests. This will allow you to determine how many files can be added to a page without an unacceptable loss of performance.

    Erik

  • Limit on number of files in JFileChooser

    Greetings
    I may neeed to write an applicaton that searches a directory for files ending in a certain extension and merges the files into one large file. There are almost 11000 files in the directory that meet the extension criteria. A client wants me to write an app to do the merge but I am not sure if JFileChooser will let me select that many files at once. Does anyone know the answer or is there a better way to do this.
    Regards
    Doug Bath

    You can certainly deal with directories with several thousand directories, I've done it myself. Likewise JFileChooser will display lots of files, but it isn't entirely clear to me why you would need one of those. My advice would be to try whatever you were going to try and ask when you have problems. Java rarely has arbitrary limitations on the amount or number of entities you can process.

  • File Adapter -- Need to limit the number of files picked up

    One of my trading partners sends a .zip file.  The zip file contains check images and an index file.  The Index File is the same name every time.
    So, if the trading partner sends two zip files, we will lose the index file.  We need to limit the contents to a single file at a time.
    Secondarily, the file adapter also runs at a specific interval...evey X seconds.  Is there a method to "fire" the FTP channel at a specific time?  Say for example at 6:30am every day?

    Hi,
    To handle ur first requirement, you can use the OS Commands option in the file adapter. (you have to play around with the options like archiving etc )

  • Trying to limit the number of thumbnails or files that generate on startup  - running Elements 9

    I swear I remember being able to limit the number of files that came up on startup to speed up E-9, but can't find it anywhere! 
    Anyone know how to do this?

    Been there done that. Thought there was a way to limit date range of working files, like 90 days.
    Thanks.

  • Limiting the number of files being picked up by the sender file adapter

    We are running a file adapter to collect xml files from a legacy system in a shared network location.  The files are picked up, information is sorted and mapped, and then sent to a proxy on our CRM system to store the data.  Very simple and not-complex.
    Our initial data load will consist of somewhere in the neighborhood of 900k records, which is killing CRM.
    A co-worker with a bit more experience was telling me that he believes there is a way to limit the number of files that will be pulled per iteration of the file communication channel.  If this is the case, can someone share with me the parameters that need to be set?
    My apologies if this is a duplicate post - I have tried to look for a good answer in the forums and have come up empty.
    We are running PI 7.1, and I believe it is SP 6. 
    Thanks in advance for the help,
    Ben

    Hi Ben,
    There is no standard way to limit the number of files to be processed by the communication channel.
    On the Sender File CC, there is a parameter " Maximum File Size" which restricts the files bigger than the specific size, but this is just a prevention not a solution.
    If you have a single big size file, then somehow you have to create small sized files out of it.
    Thanks,

  • Post-processing f4v from FMLE without re-encoding?

    I've been looking for  a way to post process (simple cut & splice) f4v file from FMLE without re-encoding the file. There are some tools that can make this happen, but its output only works with Flash Player/VLC/etc., but cannot be played on the iPhone.
    Is there a tool that can make this happen? Or using tools like Adobe Premier that requires re-encoding is the only way to go?

    Just so I'm clear on this, you want to be able to play the files in, for example, iPhone but don't want to re-encode?
    If that's it, you probably have to re-encode. Depending on the player you want to play it in though.
    iPhone doesn't play the flash container formats but it might (I don't have an iPhone so I can't test this but...) be possible to flatten the file with the f4vpp tool and then simply change the file extension to .mp4. Do tell me if that works.
    "There are some tools that can make this happen..."  What tools are you using for this?

  • Workflow for Post Processing Magic Lantern RAW Video?

    Dear Adobe Community,
    I am interested in learning what steps/workflow fellow DSLR, Magic Lantern users take to Edit, Color Grade and add FX to their RAW video?  Here is my untested thought process so far:
    Adjust the Exposure, White Balance, Lens Distortion, Etc of DNGs in Adobe Camera Raw.
    Import DNG image sequence into Premiere Pro for Editing
    Use Dynamic Link to Color Grade in Speed Grade
    Use Dynamic Link to add effects in After Effects
    Render out in Premiere Pro
    One of the concerns I have is that I've read on the Magic Lantern Forums that Premiere Pro will reduce 14 Bit DNG to 8 Bit.  Is this something you've encountered?  Is there a workaround?
    I am fairly new to all of this and would greatly appreciate any feedback to point me in the right direction for Post Processing Magic Lantern Raw Video files.  I have a subscription to Lynda.com as well if you have any suggestions for courses to look at.
    Thank-you for your time.

    Nothing Adobe makes can read MLV or RAW video files, so you have to use something else to convert them into CinemaDNG (a folder of images) or a high bit depth movie file (ProRes etc.) - there are many tools listed in the ML forum which can do that.
    Premiere Pro can import cDNG footage but it struggles to play back in real time, and will not allow you to grade it using Camera Raw. To do that you have to use After Effects. The workflow is supposed to be "ingest in Prelude, edit in Premiere Pro, color in SpeedGrade", but quite frankly the learning curve for SG is massive. Adobe's attitude to CinemaDNG is strange; although the standard is open, support is only coded for very specific models of camera and the CC suite assumes a Hollywood workflow where professional colorists (who spend years learning how to use the software) operate offline from the rest of the edit, usually after all the cuts are made. It's not set up for a typical lone DSLR filmmaker, which is quite frankly why a lot of ML users prefer another well-known way to resolve the problem.
    The 'fast and dirty' approach to getting a cinematic grade in Premiere would be to apply LUT files to the footage using the Lumetri effect (basically running SpeedGrade presets), or you can hand-grade it using the inbuilt Color Corrector tools - but that doesn't cover the other important stuff that ACR can do, such as lens correction, alignment, noise reduction, camera calibration profiles, etc. - for that, you should import the cDNG footage into After Effects (which does support ACR), correct and calibrate the frames, then export back to something high quality that Premiere can work with (such as DNxHD or ProRes 444). You won't notice any visual loss in quality, and Premiere then will play the timeline without struggling, but it takes a loooong time to chew through every clip.
    As to if Adobe applications will ever support MLV files natively - well, since Adobe relies on close partnerships with camera manufacturers including Canon, you can guess what would happen if Adobe ever endorsed it. The only scenario I can imagine is if MLV is adopted in-camera by a major DC manufacturer (Alexa, etc) so vendors can support it without slapping Canon in the face. Flying pigs come to mind.

  • Maximum number of files supported in a folder for FileTable feature

    Hi,
    I have implemented a solution using SQL 2012 FileTable with an expected workload of 150K files a year. File's size is not that big, just a few KB EDI file but I am wondering what is supported/recommended limit of number of files in a folder for FileTable?
    Thanks

    The theoretical limit is the NTFS volume limit. This is provided in the below article.

  • How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file?

    How can we send only one message to a WCF service at a time? How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file? Can we do it by Host throttling?

    Hi Pawan,
    You need to use WCF-Custom adapter and add the ServiceThrottlingBehavior service behavior to a WCF-Custom Locations.
    ServiceThrottlingBehavior.MaxConcurrentCalls - Gets or sets a value that specifies the maximum number of messages actively processing across a ServiceHost. The MaxConcurrentCalls property specifies the maximum number of messages actively
    processing across a ServiceHost object. Each channel can have one pending message that does not count against the value of MaxConcurrentCalls until WCF begins to process it.

  • Add Folder - is there a limit to the number of files you can add in one go?

    I have a fairly large collection (60GB+) of 192kbps mp3 files which are stored under My Music in a folder structure of Artists / Album, e.g. "My Music \ ACDC \ Back in Black\ Hells Bells.mp3"
    I recently bought an ipod and having installed itunes I wanted to add all my music. I figured out that the way to do this is to go File / Add Folder and select the "My Music" folder.
    However, itunes starts adding the mp3s and stops at the Bruce Springsteen folder. At this point the itunes library can see all the "A" folders and the "Bs" up to and including Bruce Springsteen. If I try the process again nothing happens.
    However, if I then try to add a specific folder e.g. "My Music \ Charlatans" it works.
    This suggests to me that the Add Folder option has a limit to the number of files it can process.
    Any thoughts on this would be appreciated as I'm not looking forward to manually adding a hundred or so folders.
      Windows XP  

    Well the part about putting songs in the "iTUnes Music" folder I only brought up because it seemed you liked things very organized. You could use iTunes to so all the organizeing. Plus once you add something to the iTUnes library, if you change ANYTHING about it in windows explorer, like its name, change the name of the folder its in or move it to another folder, iTUnes "Looses Track" of it. Its not like other programs that "Watch" files and folders for changes outside its "iTUnes Music" folder
    But to have iTUnes auto search, you have to delete a hidden pref file. After doing this, when you open iTUnes again it will throw up a setup wizard, just like its the first time ever installing it. Its in this wizard where you get your ONLY chance to have iTUnes auto search and add files from the system. Just goto the link below and follow Scott P's steps

  • How can I view my 6D raw files before I open them in post processing?

    How can I view my 6D raw files after I load them on my computer & before I open them on a post processing Program?
    I have no problem doing that with my 1DX,1DIV or 5Dmk III. This problem exist with any sdhc card I use on the 6D, but not on any other camera with the same cards.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Your computer doesn't have camera RAW support installed for a 6D.  RAW isn't really a standard-format... it's more of a concept.  Every individual camera has it's own unique RAW format (even though they all have the same .CR2 extension).
    Each time a new camera comes out, companies that make RAW processing software will make an update available that adds that camera.  You'll need to get that update and install it.

  • Preflight keeps saying  "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

    I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
    I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
    I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
    Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads  "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
    if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
    OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file,  I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
    So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
    I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
    Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?
    kim

    Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much.  But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server.  Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed.  There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
    However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point.  Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
    As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case?  It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt.  Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good.  Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer.  I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped.  Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.
