Prompt for New Folder Name During Running Workflow?

I've looked everywhere and cant find an answer for this. I'm trying to create an workflow that will copy the pictures I have selected and put them in a new folder inside a folder I've already created. I want the the workflow to prompt me to give a name for the new folder I'm creating. Can it do this?
Thanks

Hi Joshua!
Thanks for your reply. I´m glad, that it works as expected.
So I will try my best -- as a non nativ english speaker-- to give you a short explanation of what is doing Automator.
First of all, read the Automator Help. It is good!
Then, when you create a Workflow, have a look at the Results of every Action (from the Result Button)
Also there is an inspector, that will allow you to follow the Workflow.
Most of the Actions based on AppleScript ans Shell Scripts, they work like this:
Take an Input (if there is one) and return the Output
In your case:
Make a new Folder in Folder x
Result (Output) = Path to Folder
Show this action when the workflow runs = so you can set the new folder on the run
Set the Value of a Variable
The Input is the path to the new Folder, that will be needed later.
We don´t want to have an Output for the next Action.
(That would be still the path to the new Folder)
Get the selected Finder Items
In the Result they will be listed.
Copy this items to the new Folder
We need the path to the new folder, that was created before. So we use the Variable with the stored path

    I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
    Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash.

  • Can you make Sysprep on Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 Prompt for a Computer Name

    Hi guys,
    Our Windows 7 Unattend.xml has always made Sysprep prompt for Computer Name. I'm struggling to achieve that with Windows 8.1 and Svr 2012 R2.
    Firstly: Is it still possible?
    Secondly: If so, How?
    Thanks

    OOBE will only hide pages that contain the answers in the XML. So if you want OOBE to prompt for a computer name, make sure your XML does not contain the ComputerName object.

  • LR 4 & 4.1 can't create new folder manually during photo import

    Windows 64, i7, 12GB RAM
    I don't seem able to create a new folder manually on photo import.  This still works fine on the same PC with LR3.6.  Anyone else seeing this?  Thanks.

    I've sometimes found the 'Make New Folder' option to be a bit hit and miss on Win7....so I generally avoid it. In your case, wouldn't it be easier to have Lightroom create the folder for you by setting up your Destination panel as follows:
    Obviously the selected target parent folder in your case would be "Photos Working Folders", use "Organize: Into One Folder", tick the Into Subfolder box and enter the name of the sub-folder you want, e.g. raw0015. As you can see, if the sub-folder doesn't yet exist, Lightroom then shows you that it will be creating it for you.

  • My Prompt back ground colour changes during run time in Client / Server Env

    <p>Dear Friends, </p>
    <p> My Prompt of text items are changing its back ground colour according to the Text item's back colour during runtime. This doesn't look good. My look and feel of my application gets spoiled due to this. I tried with Visual Attribute (both prompt & Text item) but of no use. I don't want to use text label as I want to change the prompt during run time. Please help me. </p>

    Dear Kevin,
    Yes I agree with you, but in my case as this application supports bilingual (English & Arabic), I want to change the prompt of the text at run time. Can I change the text of boilerplate text at runtime?
    Thank you for your reply.

  • PG prompting for new tape

    Manually running some tape archives from each of the various protection groups on our DPM2010 server (tape drive is standalone Quantum LTO5 - 1.5/3.0 TB). Co-location is enabled. 
    Everything backs up normally, with the exception of any job from a newly created PG. Anytime a job is run from the new group, DPM prompts for a new tape, no matter how much data is on the tape.  The tape is still not marked as offsite ready...I
    can even cancel the job and successfully run another job from any of the other PG's; but as soon as I run another job from the new PG again, it once again prompts for a new tape.
    Thoughts?

    Hi,
    Make sure the encryption options match the other protection groups.  We cannot mix encrypted and non-encrypted backups on the same tape.
    You can run the powershell script in this
    forum post to check which PG's can be collocated based on encryption and retention goals.  All LT tape goals must be identical for co-location to work across PG's. Go to the very bottom of the output to see the results.

  • How do I use search/find to search for a folder name

    I can successfully use Spotlight and Search in Finder and Mail to find files and emails based on their titles and contents, but how to I use the search functions to find a FOLDER by its name, that I have somehere in my nests of folders - so I can then look inside that folder for what I am looking for.
    The search results never seem to show up any folder names?

    I do have several levels of nested email folders and several hundred folders created over the years. So I was hoping to be able to search for a folder's name, and be taken to it to see it and all of its contents.
    The best I seem to be able to do is search for a word that I hope I remember is in one of the emails in that folder, and then find that email in the search results list - but that list still doesn't tell me where the folder in the nested heirarchy that is my mailbox

  • Indesign CC crashing / freezing on save new folder name folder dialogue box

    Hey guys,
    I am having a reacuring bug regarding the new and awesome indesign cc 9.2 64 bit windows pc.
    When I am saving or opening in indesign if I use the dialogue box to create a new folder to save the file in it creates it and then when the mouse moves to let you rename it from new folder default it freezes and crashes indesign.
    Anyone else have this? Just curious if this is a known bug?
    This is on a fresh install (re-install) saving to a second hard drive that is not the OS drive - if that helps. No other programs have had this problem.
    Cheeeers,
    D

    Try installing the 9.2.1 update. Probably won't solve the problem, but shouldn' hurt, either.
    I don't think this is a bug, by the way, or other users would be reoprting it, too, so it's likely to be an interaction with something else on your sytem. You might be able to isolate it by running MSconfig to turn off startups and test.

  • Does "/Forms/Upload.aspx?RootFolder=" is language independent for New Folder command?

    URL from "New Folder" command of SharePoint ribbon will always have "/Forms/Upload.aspx?RootFolder=" in all sharepoint languages ?
    When "New Folder" from Sharepoint ribbon is hit then  window.location.href contains "/Forms/Upload.aspx?RootFolder=".
    I just wanted to make can we depend on this string to differentiate between New Folder and other commands on sharepoint ribbon.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    I think that you misunderstand the application page in SharePoint.
    Application pages are stored on the file system of the front-end Web server in the %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS directory and exist for every site in a Web application. This folder is mapped to an
    Internet Information Services (IIS) virtual directory called _layouts.
    Every site and subsite will have access to the application pages by using the _layouts virtual directory. For example,
    http://myserver/_layouts/settings.aspx and
    http://myserver/subsite/_layouts/settings.aspx access the same application page on the front-end Web server unlike site pages, which are an instance for the specified site.
    As you said, when "New Folder" from SharePoint ribbon was hit then  window.location.href contained "/Forms/Upload.aspx?RootFolder=".
    The Upload.aspx is the same application page.
    The URLs are different depending on the different parameters after the “RootFolder” and the “Type”.
    More information:

  • HT1595 Will not prompt for new password, if invalid password was entered

    Will not prompt for a new password after an invalid password was entered

    I am installing a Apple TV, when I select my router from the list it prompted me for the password. I entered an old password in error, so it would not connect. Now when I reselect my router it does not prompt for a new password, it uses the old incorrect one and does not connect. I need to be able to re-enter the correct one.

  • How to programmatically disable prompts for output file names in Acrobat X

    My code to programmatically disable output file names (below) is not working on a Windows 7 64-bit machine using Acrobat Distiller X.  It works perfectly on a Windows XP machine with Acrobat Distiller 8.
    The latest API Reference I was able to find is dated June 2008.  My logic follows this convention.
    I have confirmed that the registry key is updated as specified below.  I have also confirmed that I am able to write to the directory indicated.
    Please provide any suggestions to resolve. 
    Thank You!

    'Create the Registry Key where Acrobat looks for a file name

    I remember seeing that the problem is thunking. A little more specifically, because it's a 32-bit driver but a 64-bit executable, there's a 32-bit system spooler process which will always show up as the EXE name.

  • How can I access a folder saved in '09 2.3 when it prompts for newer version?

    When trying to open an old, well used, file saved in Numbers '09 2.3, am prompted to purchase newer version of numbers.  How can I open and keep the file in '09 2.3 in the same format?

    If you have any plans to use Numbers cross platform (i.e. do data entry or dynamic display on an iPad or iPhone or collaboration with others) Numbers 3 brings a lot more to the table than it often gets credit for. It is not a temptation, but a powerful piece of software that, unlike Numbers 2.3, is under active development, now syncs well, and for many users already delivers significant productivity enhancement. 
    If you, and perhaps your clients, are wedded to old-style printing of highly formatted documents, or you like some of the many niche features that don't work well cross-platform, you will be better off sticking with Numbers 2.3 or moving to Excel.
    You can run both versions of Numbers on your Mac at the same time with no problem. Numbers 3 will be in your Applications folder and Numbers 2.3 in a subfolder named iWork '09.  If you have both versions installed on your Mac, all you have to do to keep the Numbers 2.3 document in the same format is make sure you open it in Numbers 2.3. If you open it in Numbers 3 by mistake (or open it in Numbers for iOS) you can export it back to Numbers 2.3 format from Numbers 3.0 by File > Export to > Numbers '09...
    As always, keep backups.

  • Prompted for lpadmin group name and password when adding printer

    I was running into a prompt to enter an lpadmin group name and password whenever I tried to do any printing, so I decided to go ahead and reset my printer list. Now I'm trying to add my local printer to the list and I'm still getting the same prompt.
    I found this solution: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2754
    on the Apple website, but it's not working for me.
    Perhaps it's because I'm unfamiliar with working in Terminal, but I'm entering the text exactly as it's written on the support page
    dseditgroup -o edit -p -a(affected_username) -t user _lpadmin
    with, of course, my username substituted for the "(affected_username)" but I'm getting an error message in Terminal that says:
    syntax error near unexpected token `('
    Any suggestions or help? It would be much appreciated!

    Looking at the command again step 3 says to replace "(affected_username)". Since the parenthesis are included in the quotes try leaving them out as well.

  • PS Script to prompt for a computer name to obtain up time information

    Good morning everyone and please excuse the interruption.
    I found this particular script online that when executed can tell me the uptime of a computer (from the looks of it, it only works on the computer it is run on)
    Is there a way to modify the script so it can do the following:
    prompt me to enter a computer name
    display the uptime of said computer entered
    This script says I would need to insert a line with all the computer names i want it to look for, which to me, is too much info.
    # Get-Uptime.ps1
    # This script will report uptime of given computer since last reboot.
    # Pre-Requisites: Requires PowerShell 2.0 and WMI access to target computers (admin access).
    # Usage syntax:
    # For local computer where script is being run: .\Get-Uptime.ps1.
    # For list of remote computers: .\Get-Uptime.ps1 -ComputerList "c:\temp\computerlist.txt"
    # Usage Examples:
    # .\Get-Uptime.ps1 -Computer ComputerName

  • Matching score for new records added to existing workflow

    Hi SDNers,
    My doubt is:
    I have a 2 Workflows which are already in process. The triggering event for them is Manual, Record Import.
    Now I manually assigned 20 records  to "Workflow A" based on Condition 1
    Also, I manually assigned 20 records  to "Workflow B" based on Condition 2
    I am importing 30 new records. Based on the condition, I want to assign these records to the existing Workflow A / Workflow B.
    Note: There is a Match stencil, so the newly created records have to be matched against the existing records in the present Workflow itself.
    Is it possible to add new records o existing workflow manually?
    Also, what about the Matching score? will the records be matched?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Priti

    Hi Priti,
    I tried restricting records using Named Searhes and Masks but it includes all the records with Match step property Records Vs All. You have to perform some maunal step either by selecting records using some search criteria or you can use Named Searches i.e.
    1. Create one field say New of type boolean and by default set it to NO.
    2. Create one named search for this field value to YES.
    3. Create one assignment which sets the value for this field to YES and add this assignment in the workflow as the first step.
    4. When ever you import records, assignment will set New=YES for all the records imported. Now, when you add more records, search the previous records using Restore Named Search function which will give the list of records imported now. You can perform Matching and Merging operation.
    5. Add one more assignment to the workflow as the last step which should set New=NO so that records should not appear next time for Matching
