Problem with Action/Batch

OK, PS CS4 extended v. 11.0.1 on a Win XP sp3 OS
I recorded a simple action set
Open | Set File Info of current document | Save | Close
I then performed an Automated Batch run to duplicate this on a series of more than 100 photo images in a folder.  In the Batch dialogue box, I clearly identified a new folder - located in the same directory as the original - as the Destination Folder for the images.  However, when the batch process was complete, the newly created folder was EMPTY and all of the photo images in the Source Folder had been rewritten!
Now, since this was as simple as entering file information, no harm was done to the image files.  However, I have had other times when I run a batch action to resize the images from their raw size to, for instance, 6" X 4" @ 300 dpi for printing.  When these save to the original source folder it IS a problem because my native files are overwritten.
Did I do something wrong in the action?  Did I set something incorrectly in the batch process?
If I do this correctly, there should be a screenshot of my action steps and my batch settings here.
Please help me!  I use this feature A LOT because I am responsible for cataloging all of the photos taken at our airport.
Thank you!
Susan

ZB:  Please don't apologize!  I am grateful for the assistance, I was just confused by the "save" vs. "save as" information and wanted to be certain that I understood what you were saying.  I figure if I'm going to ask someone to share their knowledge/time with me, the least I can do is understand it well enough to put it to use and possibly pass it along to someone else at a later date!  I certainly don't want to have to keep asking the same questions each time I try to do a task.  Oy ve...that would be annoying!
Thank you very much for your help.  I don't have another project right now to try this with, but I'm certain I will soon enough.  We have a $138 million dollar construction project we are photographing almost daily.
Again, my heartfelt thanks!

  • Problems with actions (batch automation)

    I created an action to convert some .tif files to .jpg's and then resize the image and close. However
    when i try to put it into action, the batch automate wont proceed, and it says: "The command "save as" is not currently available... even if i click "continue" it still gives me the same prompt for the other steps in the action.... 'save' and 'close'.
    I created a similar action a week ago that worked fine... anyone know what might be the problem???
    thanks.

    Peter
    Do you have a save or save as command as part of your action?
    Do you have the 'Overide action 'save as' commands' ticked in the batch settings window?
    Double click the text 'Overide action 'save as' commands' for a description of what it does.

    Hy Again!
    I forgot to say one more thing that could be relevant:
    If i add any action from the struts-config.xml in the provider for the <defaultAction> of the portlet it works correctly.
    So the actions work correctly, the problem is that when sending back to the oracle portal the request with the new action, there is no response.
    Pls help!
    Thanx, and best regards!

  • Problem with: Action Required: Your AOL Username login must transition to Apple ID

    In the early days of the iTunes store, it was possible to log in and make purchases with an AOL screen name. This has since been discontinued. In March 2015, Apple sent out a message to legacy iTunes account holders who have not yet converted their iTunes accounts from an AOL screen name to an Apple ID.
    However, the conversion program seem to be completely mismanaged and full of glitches and problems. If Apple does nothing about this, the company will face costly class action lawsuits by disgruntled consumers who purchased music but will in the future be prevented from playing it.
    I tried to follow the directions, but I am not able to log into the iTunes account under the AOL screen name. I tried to initiate a password recovery through the recovery email, but the recovery message with the re-sent link never arrives.
    I contacted Apple support several times. During very lengthy (several hours long) conversations, we were able to locate the account. However, I was told that Apple cannot reset the password and give me access to the account - I should contact AOL. My appeals that this would be illogical because AOL does not have the power to change passwords on an iTunes store account were ignored, and it was clear that each Apple employees I spoke with just wanted to push the problem on someone else.
    So I contacted AOL and was told that they have nothing to do with this. Nevertheless, we reset the password for the AOL screen name. As I predicted, this made no difference for the iTunes account: I still cannot log in.
    Today I contacted Apple again, and after we we made certain that I we identified the correct iTunes account, the Apple employee manually initiated a recovery e-mail sent to me. However, the confirmation message I received refers to resetting the existing Apple ID (not the iTunes store account we are trying to turn into an Apple ID).
    Clearly, there is a glitch in the system. It somehow intermingles and confuses information from the Apple ID and the AOL Screen Name / iTunes store ID and thinks that we are trying to reset the Apple ID.
    Apple's response was ridiculous: Talk to AOL. (I already have done that and established that changing the AOL SN password does not allow me to gain access to the iTunes account).
    This is my 4th call to Apple. Each lasted several hours (including hold time). Now I've been on hold for about 3 hours while I'm waiting to talk to a higher tier tech support person.
    Does anyone have similar problems with this conversion? Any solutions?

    You need to sign in with just the user name. not with the @aol.com at the end.
    Example: If your AOL username is AOLUSERNAME & your AOL email is [email protected], you must log in with only AOLUSERNAME & your AOL email password & it will prompt you to change it. You can’t use your @aol email, it must be something else.

  • Problem with action links

    I have a relatively simple DVD project with 10 movie sequences each placed on a separate timeline. DVD has just one menu with a Button: "Watch whole movie" which basically sequences all 10 clips and then back to the menu.
    Then I also have 10 Sequence-Buttons on the menu that should only show the respective sequence and then back to the menu.
    1. I set up the action sequence for "Watch the whole movie" m1-m2-m3-m4-m5-m6-m7-m8-m9-m10-menu. No problem with that.
    2. When I then start working on the first sequence button "SCENE 1" the problem starts. What I want is just Scene1-back to the menu. I tried it without and with end action override but then I disturbed the m1-m2-m3-m4-m5-m6-m7-m8-m9-m10-menu sequence.
    I really couldn't figure out this simple task. Maybe somebody can give me a hint. 

    1. I set up the action sequence for "Watch the whole movie" m1-m2-m3-m4-m5-m6-m7-m8-m9-m10-menu. No problem with that.
    Actually, that is the problem. Instead of making the end action of each timeline the next timeline, create a Playlist and sequence the timelines in there. Your play all button links to the playlist. End action of the playlist is Return to last menu.
    Without end actions that go to the next movie, your Scene buttons will work fine. (The end action on each timeline will be "Return to Last Menu."

  • Problems with the batch in transaction MB1A and MB21

    Hi everybody, I am new in the MM module. I am having a problem with transaction MB1A and MB21, when i try to select a batch for the movement 901. if i click the match code for the material's batch, the system shows me all the batches for the material, but some of these batches don't have available quantity stock and order creates the reservation or the material output. The system dont allow negative stock. Do you have any idea of this problem? Regards.

    Hi,
    In IM, when you select a batch with possibile entries, system always shows the available batches no matter whether stock is there are not.
    However, if you setup batch determination strategy for example, when you are processing in MB1A, SAP fills the batch based on the criterion you define in:
    MBC1Logistics -->Materials Management -->Inventory Management -->Environment -->Batch Search Strategy -->MBC1 - Create
    Select appropriate strategy (if defined in your system, say for mvt ty)
    maintain search strategy and sort criteria for your movement type here.
    Hope this helps!

  • Problem with ACTION (move, rotate, etc) in iBookAuthor with a Keynote file

    Hi everyone,
    I'm doing nice keynote animations with ACTION like rotate an image, move an image, etc. That makes great animation on my Mac screen.
    But when i put that animation (keynote file) in iBookAuthor as a widget, the actions are not showing correctly on the iPad. I can't see them anymore.
    Do you know why?

    It would seem that the Keynote widget can only handle the following animations (looks like what you are trying is not included). See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5067

    These transitions and builds work with the Keynote widget:

  • Problem with action script 3 make input text box and button....

    Hi every one I am trying to make a family book using "Air for Android" with a simple search engin in the book
    air for android only work with AS3,
    the search function is to type a person's name and hit submit then go to a specific frame.
    have a problem making below code to work in AS3 and hopefully one of you guys can lead me in the right direction to fix the issue.
    Currently, I have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame.
    (it work find in AS2 but not in AS3,)
    Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:
    stop();
    onEnterFrame = function () {
        submit.onRelease = function() {
            switch (yourname.text) {
            case "name1" :
                gotoAndStop(2);
                break;
            case "name2" :
                gotoAndStop(3);
                break;
    My button that checks if the phrase is correct is called "submit" and my input box has an instance of "yourname".
    My phrases that will be accepted in the input box are "name1" and "name2" which bring me to two different frames.
    Basically, I'm having a problem with making this to work with AS3.

    you should use the default option in the switch statement
    that way yourname contains something not in one of the case statements it will go to the default bit and execute teh code there
    function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void
                                  switch (yourname.text)
                                            case "name1":
                                                      gotoAndStop(2);
                                                      break;
                                            case "name2":
                                                      gotoAndStop(3);
                                                      break;
                                            default:
                                                      goToAndStop(you frame you want);
                                            break;

  • Chris Lord save as problems with actions

    Hi..I have been experiencing a frustrating problem. When running an automated batch action which ends with a 'save as' command to a 'action completed' folder, the files keeps overwriting the previous files in the batch and retains name of the first file processed by the action.
    Other actions I have created never had this problem, but all of a sudden it simply refuses to save the individual files without overwriting the previous one.

    Are you setting the batch dialog to override save as steps. also when recording save as steps in actions its best to use the file type pull-down menu to set the file type and not to set the name just take the default so no name is recorded in the action step. Expand your action's save as step make sure no file name has been recorded into the step.

  • Problems with Automate Batch tasks in Photoshop CS2

    "Could not complete the action, since the destination folder does not exist" message appears when I Automate a task that I have previously recorded and successfully used.
    When I choose Automate, then Batch, then select action, then select a source folder and a destination folder the message appears. Once "OK"  is selected it completes the action but only one image at a time before the error message comes back. If I am repeating the task on a folder with several images, I have to sit and click "OK" to the error message for each image for the task to complete.
    How can I get the Action to Automate itself without the error message popping up? The destination folder does exist and I have tried re-recording the actions but the same message continues to come up.

    Well, maybe "Save for web" command has remembered the folder for saving files. And then you use Automate Batch they trying to save exactly in THAT folder in spite of you choose another in Batch. If that folder doesn't exist program returns en "error" message. Try to restore "original" folder and run Batch again.

  • Problem with 'action' attriubte when using 'rendered'

    I have something really strange;
    I have a JSF page used to insert a record and when inserting is successful, I set a REQUEST scope parameter called 'saved' with a value of 'true' as following:
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestMap().put("saved",true);Now, in the JSF page I already have a <h:commandButton ...> on the SAME previous JSF page used to collect the data :
    <h:commandButton rendered="#{requestScope.saved}" action="#{insertionBean.displayNew}" value="Create another"/>As it is shown, the rendering of this button is conditional ONLY after complete inserting. Until now every thing is OK, and the button rendered only as expected, but what is not expected is that when I click on the button the page only reloads and the method in the action attribute is never fired.
    Does the attribute rendered have something to do with RestoreView at the server side? Becasue when I DELETE it, the button fires the method, the problem is only when I use it in this scope.
    How I can accomplish this goal?!
    Thanks for helpful people

    The value of the rendered attribue is re-evaluated during apply request values phase. So you need to transfer it to the next request using h:inputHidden or, better, t:saveState (so that it also survives validations).

  • Problem with action events........ :(

    hi all,
    there is a strange problem which me and my colleagues are facing now-a-days......
    For some odd and unknown reason, the links on the page suddenly stops woking... it goes like this....
    we write events (buttons or action links) .... we test them and they are working fine...... than we write some other piece of code and than run the program and links work no more... The program never goes in the action event for the component...... and surprisingly it also dont show an error.... It just keeps on refreshing itself again and again....... (this thing is also verified by using debugger that actions events just stop being called....) it happens for random situations ...... Once i thought that maybe its has to do something with beforeRenderResponse() method... but it happens even in beans without beforeRenderResponse() method.....
    Can anyone tell me whats going on around here???? we are extremely confused here with dead lines approaching fast........
    regards

    I've had this same problem....links were working fine yesterday. I added more functionality which didn't even affect the links, and now they're not working. Unfortunately, I don't have a solution either.
    Has anybody been able to access the logging in the facescontext or application to see what the lifecycle is doing before it stops???

  • Problem with field "batch number" and table "et_item" at  BBP_CONF_CHANGE

    Hi experts!,
    I have a problem when I use the badi BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI and with the method BBP_CONF_CHANGE.
    I want to fill the field "batch number" at web SRM with the PO number, I thought to write it at suitable or appropriate field at table "et_item" but this table has not any similar field which I can write it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards.

    Hello,
    we cannot fill the BATCH field because it is not available in the table ET_ITEM in the method BBP_CONF_CHANGE.
    Do you know how can we fill a default value in this field when the user is creating or modifying a confirmation item?
    Thank you.
    Best regards.

  • Problems with Action menu in 3.1.2.00.02

    Hi,
    I wonder if any one has encountered a similar problem am having with the action menu of Interactive reports in version 3.1.2.00.02. The action items of the action menu do not work for a conditional report.
    If I have the Interactive Report set to display conditional (like on the click of a button) when the report is displayed and I try to select any items on the menu, the following error message appears.
    Error
    A Runtime Error has occurred.
    Do you wish to Debug?
    Line: 1
    Error: 'options' is null or not an object
    Yes No
    If I select no, the space to display the select manu item appears blank and the loading image remains on the page ( close to the top of the page) until I close the page or rerun the report.
    I would appreciate any comments on how to deal with this problem.
