Print files in a folder hierarchy recurisly.

So I have a folder, that contains mainly more folders, which contains files I want printed out in order (by order i mean like all files in a folder, then switch folders, print all those files). Is there a script that someone has in which I could maybe drag a folder onto it, it recursively goes through each folder and then prints out all of the files (in say size 12 font?).
Thanks for any help

I don't know about the font size request, but this script included with the system looks like it will do what you want:
/Library/Scripts/Printing\ Scripts/Print Window With Subfolders.scp
You can open it in Script Editor, save it as a droplet, and then just drop the folder on the droplet - it should get printed to your default printer.
Hope this helps.

  • Multiple files while preserving folder hierarchy

    My problem: Over the past number of years I have been converting old VHS home videos to digital formats. My workflow has changed over time and this results in some file formats that are inefficient or not supported by many devices. The videos are in a special folder hierarchy that I would like to preserve.

    Hi Bob,
    Just put 'em where you want 'em to be (if they're not already), then if you don't already have the root folder in Lightroom - import one photo from the top-level - that way you get the root folder created in Lightroom - even if its a fake photo just to get things going.
    Then just do a folder-sync on the root - it'll get all of 'em in place. (hint: Right/Ctrl-click the root folder, then select 'Synchronize Folder' - I recommend not showing the import dialog box or you may be there all day...)

  • Printing a list of all the files in a folder

    I have a bunch of files in a folder on an external drive.  I frequently add and/or delete files from the folder and would like to print out a simple up-to-date list of the names of the files in the folders on a frequent basis.  In am using Mac OS 10.6.7.
    Anyone have any suggestions.

  • Printing all PDF files in a folder.

    is there a way to print all my individual PDF files in one folder without opening each and then printing it before opening the next one. I have 52 PDF files in one folder that I need to print.

    Use Automator to create a Service that looks like this:
    !http://i.imgur.com/0nTuy.png!
    Save it, give it a name like "Print All Files".
    Now you can control-click the folder in the Finder and select you new service under Services.
    Just a transcript of the screenshot:
    Service receives selected folders in Finder
    1st action is *Get Folder Contents*
    2nd action is *Print Finder Items*; Print to *Default Printer*; under Options select *Show this action when the workflow runs* so you can select your printer.

  • Printing a list of files in a folder

    Is it possible to print a list of files in a folder?

    Thanks for all your work-arounds. Here's a comparison which might be useful for others:
    • Copying and pasting into a text file or word processor gave me a list of the titles;
    • Dragging onto a printer in the dock gave me title, size and date; a little difficult to read across the lines as they are spaced across the whole width of my A4 page;
    •Print Window (free version) gives a printout of the information in the window that you choose. The lines are quite widely spaced which makes it legible, but means it takes a lot of pages for a big folder;
    • Print Window Advanced ($20) allows you to out put as a file, so you can design a format that suits you. I use Excel a lot for these kinds of tasks so this suits me very well. You can also print our a format for cd covers which—useful for archiving.

    In Windows 8, this feature of InDesign CS6 only works for the local Administrator account:

    If you try it with any other account this error message is given: "Cannot create the file. The folder may be write protected."
    For anyone else encountering this problem, a workaround is to run as administrator.

    Which permissions exactly did you set, how did you set them and what did you set them to?
    The path to the Drop Box would be /Users/someuser/Public/Drop Box but you obviously wouldn't want the ownership and permissions to be the same on all four directories.
    Have you tried using Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) to repair permissions? That would probably be the best way to ensure they're correct.

  • How to copy a file from one folder to another folder in Linux

    Hello everyone,
    Oracle forms 11g 11.1.2.0.0
    OS: Oracle Linux
    We use webutil to upload files to the application server from the client machine, and stores them in a folder named JOB_DOCS on the application server (This folder is created as a databse directory too). File types are JPEG, GIF, PDF, TXT, BMP, DOC, XLS etc...
    At a later stage when the user tries to view the uploaded documents, this was not getting displayed on the screen
    on our windows server, when the user clicks on the print button we copy the file from the JOB_DOCS folder to the forms\java folder using the below command
    HOST('COPY ' ||d:\JOB_DOCS\test.pdf||' '||'c:\oracle\middleware\as\forms\java\test.pdf ,NO_SCREEN);
    once the file is under the forms\java folder then it is getting displayed on the screen to print or save, and later we remove the file from forms\java folder.
    But my problem here is, recently we have installed our application on Oracle Linux server, and we have JOB_DOCS folder there, and the users can upload files to this folder also. How can we copy the file test.pdf from JOB_DOCS to forms/java in linux?
    And what could be the reson for the document cannot be accessed from the folder where it is saved? We tried giving folder permissions, adding the folder to PATH variable etc.

    For copying and moving directories you can use the cp and mv commands just like you use them with files. Yeah, I know. If you've already tried to copy a directory with cp, you've probably noticed that cp just complains at you. Probably it says something like cp: omitting directory yadda yadda. You see, the cp command wants you to use the -r option if you want to copy a directory with its contents. The -r means "copy recursively":
    $ cp -r dir1 dir2
    The above creates a directory named dir2 whose contents will be identical to dir1. However, if dir2 already exists, nothing will be overwritten: the directory dir1 will be copied into the dir2 directory under the name dir2/dir1.
    When renaming directories, you use the mv command exactly the same way as with files:
    $ mv dir1 dir2
    When dealing with directories, mv works a bit like cp does. If dir2 doesn't exist, the above will rename dir1 to dir2, but if dir2 exists, the directory dir1 will be moved into the dir2 directory under the name dir2/dir1.

  • Move files from one folder to another

    I am brand new to the application and have spent a ton of time googling various topics, but need some additional help. Seems easy enough, but I can't figure out how to do it...
    I would like to move pics from one folder to another. I can drag files from one folder to another, but they still reside in the original folder as well. Is there a way to cut and paste or a similar function to accomplish this move?
    Thanks.

    Hey, HawaiianHaole, as a multidecade Mac user, let me tell you, Aperture is about the worst example of Mac-iness one could imagine. Ironic, as it's (of course) made by Apple. But it is so inflexible, and insists so vociferously on making the user learn its peculiar interface conventions it reminds me most of something out of that famous company in Redmond.
    Want your Projects in an order you choose? Sorry! Want to arrange your windows so you can see your list of chat buddies while you're working in Aperture? Nope, can't do it! Aging eyes have trouble reading tiny grey type on a grey background? Hey buddy, it was your choice to grow old, don't blame us!
    But all is not lost. Aperture has gotten considerably better of late (versions up to 2.0 were fundamentally unusable in many ways) and will hopefully continue to improve. (ie Maybe they'll fix the printing thing...)
    Please don't make Aperture the basis for your judgement of the Mac OS. Many long time Mac users are having as much trouble with Aperture as you. Mac OSX has significantly reduced customizability but at the benefit of much improved stability and indeed usability. Old school Mac users had to learn to accept this, which most did. You'll hear people talk about the "Way of the Steve". As irksome as Aperture can be, you'll actually have a better time of it if you adopt the Way of the Steve, and accept that you can't do things the way you might want to. This is imho antithetical to the original Mac many of us knew and loved, but it's the way things are today, so we mostly shut up and take it. You can fight with your software all day, or just accept that there are ways you have to adopt and adapt to them.
    Welcome to the Bright Side, hope your Mac experience improves.

  • Support symbolic links (symlinks or Unix's 'ln -s') in the iTunes Media folder hierarchy

    As of iTunes version 12.0.1.26, iTunes has partial support for symbolic links in the iTunes Media folder hierarchy. I'd like Apple to enhance iTunes to treat any symlink or folder alias within the hierarchy the same as folders. With the Unix core under OS X, there is no clear reason to not support this feature.
    Why is this important? As more of us try to use iTunes as the single repository of all media, the library size becomes larger than is possible to hold on a single partition. The simplest and most convenient solution is to allow users to move large folders (e.g. Music, or Movies) to a different drive or partition, then put an alias or symlink in the original location within the iTunes hierarchy. Users with large collections or small partitions may need to split multiple times. Other users may want to put the bulk of their media on their home/work NAS and only keep a portion on their laptop for mobile access (think long overseas flights), but not have to constantly fiddle with iTunes.
    The point is not whether any one of these scenarios may be supported today though a crude hack or third-party tool. Support for symlinks would be relatively easy for Apple to implement and extremely flexible for advanced users.
    This is partially supported today. For example, if you do what I described above, iTunes will play all of your existing media. The part that is definitely broken is when you try to use the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder, iTunes will not copy the file to a location under a symlink or alias. The new file will sit in the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder and iTunes will generate multiple instances/tracks inside iTunes (e.g. movies appear in the "Unwatched" tab). While there are ways to work around this limitation, they are tedious and ultimately unnecessary if full symlink/alias support is provided.
    Best,

  • I need to open files in a folder within a photoshop action

    I am writing an action (to be triggered by automator) to take three photos from a tethered camera and open, size, and crop them, and place them in specific locations on a template image to create two photo-booth strips side by side on a 4x6 print.  It works perfectly, but when I write the "open" command into the action, it referenced the files by name.  I need to find a way to have my action open the three files in a folder (the only three that will be there thanks to my automator action), but not reference them by name.  Is there any way of opening images in an action without referencing them by name?  Maybe some sort of open images in a folder type of thing?  Any ideas are very much appreciated.
    ---Dan

    I have played with the >>Toggle dialogue on/off<< field and manually opened the files from their folder, but the action has the file's location written into it.  I need it to open all files in a folder.  As part of my Automator action, I am moving my photos (taken in batches of 3) into a workflow system of folders so the photos from the camera save to a "from camera" folder, and then move to a "for photoshop" folder, and those are the images that open into the ps action and get put into the template.  The action saves the composite image to an archive folder, and deletes the image layers, and then the Automator action moves the originals to another archive folder.  There shouldn't be issues as long as the actions keep running and I can figure out how to open files form a folder without referencing the specific images in the folder.  Also please keep in mind that I am writing this as an action witihn Photoshop CS3, so basically clicking record, and letting the computer write the "code".  Did that help?

  • How to count files in a folder and subfolders of the folder.

    Hello everyone,
    I'm having a difficulty with countin files in a Regular folder and subfolders of the folder. I've tried to use SI_ANCESTOR  in a query; however, it gives me innacurate results.
    I used this hierarchy to create the code below, and it works to count all the files:
    Folder A ---> Folder B( subFolder of A)  -
    > Folder C(subFolder of B)  
    //get folder A
    IInfoObjects regFolders = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND='Folder' AND SI_PARENTID=0 AND SI_NAME!='User Folders' Order by SI_NAME");
    IFolder regFolder = (IFolder) regFolders.get(0);     
    //get files from Folder A     
    IInfoObjects rFiles = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID !   = 'CrystalEnterprise.Folder'   AND SI_PARENTID=" + regFolder.getID() );
    ilesCount += rFiles.size();
    int subCntr=0;
    nt subCntr2=0;
      //get folder B      
    IInfoObjects rSubFolders = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Folder' AND SI_PARENTID=" + regFolder.getID() );
    //get files from subFolders of Folder A
    while (subCntr < rSubFolders.size())
              IInfoObject subFolder=(IInfoObject)rSubFolders.get(subCntr);
              IInfoObjects subFiles = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS "
          + " WHERE SI_PROGID != 'CrystalEnterprise.Folder'" AND SI_PARENTID=" + subFolder.getID() );
             filesCount += subFiles.size();
             //get subFolders of Folder B                   
             IInfoObjects rSubFolders2 = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Folder' AND SI_PARENTID=" + subFolder.getID() );
                         //get files from subFolders of Folder B
         while (subCntr2 < rSubFolders2.size())
              IInfoObject subFolder2=(IInfoObject)rSubFolders2.get(subCntr2);
              IInfoObjects subFiles2 = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS "
                   + " WHERE SI_PROGID != 'CrystalEnterprise.Folder'  AND SI_PARENTID=" + subFolder2.getID() );
                                               filesCount += subFiles2.size();
               subCntr2++;
              subCntr++;
    As you can see, the code is too complicated, and what if folder C has subFolder?
    I'm guessin maybe recursion would be one way to got, but I'm not really good with it, so I was wondering if anyone has any idea on how to go about doing it.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    For detailed information, please refer to the BI 4.0 developers guide here.
    You can find the section "Setting up the development environment" in developers guide that have every single instruction to execute a java code specific to BI 4.0 environment.
    Also, here are the instructions for BO 3.1 environment:
    To configure a WAR file for a J2EE application that uses the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 and 3.1 Java SDK, complete these steps:
    Create a lib folder in the WAR file's WEB-INF folder.
    Copy the Enterprise XI 3.0 or 3.1 Java SDK JAR files from the appropriate location below to the WAR file's WEB-INF\lib folder:
    Windows:
    ...\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0\java\lib
    UNIX:
    <businessobjects_root>/java/lib
    Copy the log4j.jar file from the appropriate location below to the WAR file's WEB-INF\lib folder:
    Windows:
    ...\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0\java\lib\external
    UNIX:
    <businessobjects_root>/java/lib/external
    Copy the entire crystalreportviewers12 folder from the appropriate location below to the WAR file's root folder.
    Windows:
    ...\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0
    UNIX:
    <businessobjects_root>/enterprise12/JavaSDK
    Open the web.xml file located in the WAR file's WEB-INF folder.
    Specify the location of the utility files used by the report viewers contained in the crystalreportviewers12 folder by inserting the following code below the <display-name> and <description> tags but within the <webapp> tag definition:
    <context-param>
    <param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
    <param-value>/BOXIR3/crystalreportviewers12</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>CrystalReportViewerServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewerServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>CrystalReportViewerServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/CrystalReportViewerHandler</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    Deploy the WAR file to the J2EE application server.
    You are now able to run an application using the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 and 3.1 Java SDK on a J2EE web application server.
    Hope it helps.

    Normally you can coerce Finder object references to aliases. In this case a bug in the Finder is getting in your way.

    This is returning invalid object references - ones not even the Finder can resolve at a later date.
    It seems to drop one level of hierarchy when building the object specifiers in response to that whose clause. You can avoid the Finder bug by using some alternate means of building up the file list.

    Hi Bill,
    That's not really a bug. In this line:
    set aSel to (((every document file in folder thePath) & (every document file of every folder in folder thePath)) as alias list)
    two list are being concatenated which returns a list and 'as alias list' doesn't work on lists. You could do this:
    set aSel to (every document file in folder thePath as alias list) & (every document file of every folder in folder thePath as alias list)
    If there aren't anymore levels, then you can use 'entire contents':
    every document file of entire contents of folder thePath as alias list
    Note that if only one file is returned, then it will error because of automatic coercion, so it's better to do it your way if you don't know how many files there are. Then, you would use an error handler to trap the error. Here's what I've been using:
    try
    set aSel1 to (every document file in folder thePath as alias list)
    on error from o
    set aSel1 to o as list
    end try
    try
    set aSel2 to (every document file of every folder in folder thePath as alias list)
    on error from o
    set aSel2 to o as list
    end try
    set aSel to aSel1 & aSel2
    There is another way to coerce finder references to something usable in other applications that can't deal with Finder references. You can coerce Finder references to strings using text item delimiters.
