Running a single action, separately, over multiple folders

Hello all,
First time for me using this forum, therefore i apologise if this is listed incorrectly. I am trying to speed up my work flow by automating repetitive tasks. Now that I am getting more work to do, I’m trying to tie up some loose ends in my actions that I haven’t previously been able to figure out.
I shoot a lot of school photography and i use Photoshop to automate the process of adding each student’s image to a proof card which is printed and dispatched to the school. Now this process is really easy when it’s just a single shot per proof card. But for nurseries there are four different images per proof card. The action i currently use (proof card template would be open in Photoshop) asks me to open the four images, which then copies each of the images and pastes them into the designated area of the proof card, then asks me to save it, then removes the four images so that the proof card template is ready to accept another four images when the action is run again.
The issue i have is that I have to manually select the four images every time i run the action. It’s become a tedious, time consuming process as some of these schools have up to 200 proof cards to be made.
I’m looking for tips as to someway i can create an action that selects the first four images in a designated folder automatically, plays the action above, saves it automatically as basic file name (even "Proof1" would do!) Then automatically selects the next four images in the folder, runs the action, and automatically saves as 'proof2' and carries on going until its completed every image in the folder.
I’m not sure if this would be possible to divide each student’s four images into subfolders and use the batch tool run the action?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have a similar problem. Wish I had an answer but am struggling with a similar problem. My situation is this: I have a Imac and a Macbook Pro. I have the same 4 accounts on both and I sync them through '.mac'. It works fairly well. My goal is to get one Itunes library accessible from the 2 computers and the 4 accounts per computer. I am also using Time Capsule/Machine as well. I currently keep the Itunes library on an external drive (not TCapsule). So, my problem is this:
1. How to update from multiple accounts accross the two machines?
2. How to access Itunes store from all of the accounts on machine 2?
I am now trying to set up individual Itunes libraries for each account on machine 1 and share to machine 2.
In any case, this is not pretty and needs to be reachitected to support a multiple user environmet.

  • Single Class Split Over multiple non-consecutive Days??

    How do I setup in OLM  a class split over multiple days for Example:
    I have a Diversity Awareness Course and Offering. The Class is 2 days long, but not on consecutive days, they are a week apart.
    Do I create a Day1 Class and Day2 class under the same course and make it a prerequisite to attend day 1?
    From a reporting point of view this now shows as 2 classes when it is only 1; inflating the class figures.
    Or Can I split it into 2 sessions under the same class?
    What is the best way to do this?

    Hi!
    You can create a Class with two Sessions underneath it (one for each day).  Make the Start Date for the Class the day the Class begins and set the End Date to correspond to the last day.  Your Duration should be set to 2 Days.  Learners will be able to view details for each session, and you can assign different instructors and rooms for each day if you use Resource Bookings in OLM.

  • Sharing (synchronizing) a single iTunes library over multiple computers

    Okay, i've been looking all over for a simple answer to this problem for a while and haven't found a solution that doesn't involve paying for third-party software or a lot of seemingly unnecessary hassle. Here's my situation:
    I have an older 12" PowerBook G4 and a brand new MacBook Pro. I also have a Time Capsule and a 30 gig iPod, but i'm not sure whether they will be helpful or not for my situation. When i got my MacBook Pro, i let Leopard transfer all my info, so now both computers have the same login information, music library, iPhoto library, etc... But not for long, naturally. I want to use my MBP at home primarily and will spend most of my time on it, but i will also frequently be out and will be taking my PowerBook along as it is both more portable and less of a concern if something happens to it. What i want to do is to set things up so that my iTunes library (including playlists, ratings, and other metadata) is kept synchronized across both computers (perhaps via the Time Capsule?) and that any changes made on either mac will at least eventually be mirrored on the other without causing duplicates or loss of any files. I don't need to keep separate versions or sizes of iTunes libraries either; the hard drives are each large enough to hold the entire thing.
    On a side note, the iPod only needs to be able to sync from the MBP, i think, though it would be nice to have the option to sync from either. Sadly, it’s not large enough to hold the whole library, so i can’t use that to go back and forth or anything.
    Also, i wouldn’t mind if the library were only stored on the TC and the PB, since the MBP should be able to access the TC 99% of the time, but in that case the PB would have to compare its own library and metadata to that of the TC, while i’m not sure how the MBP would store its iTunes database on the TC and not its own drive. I imagine that, with the current implementation of iTunes at least, it would have to be all on the MBP and the PB, with the TC version merely a backup. In most cases, i should be able to reach both my TC and my MBP from the road over the internet, but i still want to have the library on the PB hard drive for when i don’t have a connection.
    I wouldn’t mind a “master, slave” type setup either, with the MBP being the master, since with the only working optical drive and a faster connection, it will be doing most of my importing- but it’s important that the playlists and everything are the same and it sure would be nice if i didn’t have to remember not to make any changes from the PB. I don't plan on buying any music from the iTunes store and my entire library is DRM free, so that won't be a problem. Both systems are running the latest versions of all software and operating system (though i hear this may change with Snow Leopard...?)
    And while we’re at it, doing the same or similar to my iPhoto, iCal, Addressbook, Documents, etc. would be nice. Perhaps something can be done with the entire Home folder that would accomplish all of this? I’m not sure if the fact that one is Intel and the other is PowerPC would put a hitch in that method though. There are some settings, such as the totally different trackpads, etc. that will not be the same, plus i’ll be using a lot of programs solely on the MBP, which is why cloning the drive is not an option.
    I’d like to find a way to set this up using just Automator and maybe some Applescripts if possible, but if i do have to bend and go third-party, it would need to be solid.
    I know my situation is unique (I’ve found a lot of people trying to synchronize libraries, say, with a spouse, etc. WITHOUT syncing the metadata- or people wanting different libraries on different computers to feed into the same pool, but those are very different cases, obviously) but i’m sure there are plenty of people out there with several different macs of their own who could benefit from this solution. Any help you can give towards this would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Any way to span a single iTunes Library over multiple hard drives?

    I have a hard drive that is almost full and the only thing on it is my iTunes library. It is not feasible for me to get a larger hard drive as this one is already a 1TB hard drive. Now, I have seen I can create multiple libraries, with each library on a different hard drive if I wish. However, not only is most of the media in the library podcasts, using multiple libraries for a single iPod Touch would be a pain.
    So, is there a way for the iTunes Library to span over more than one hard drive, but yet be a single library? It would make it easier to sync my iPod Touch.
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm assuming that I would have to "import" my old drive into the library
    You don't import anything since your library is the same as it was. All those items are still in iTunes in the same location. The ONLY thing different is iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
    Or am I wrong and it will have my previous media folder still in the library, and anything new would be put in the new media folder?
    Yes & yes. Everything in iTunes will still be in iTunes, stay in the same location it is now and iTunes will use it from there.
    Anything new added to iTunes will go to the location you set in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.

  • Using a single sequence value over multiple scripts (in a variable?)

    Hi all...
    I'm writing a number of scripts that insert rows into tables.
    To better explain my point, I'll paste a simple breakdown of the scripts here as that will be easier to understand...
    Script 1:
    INSERT INTO WORKGROUP_DEPARTMENTS(ID, DEPT_NAME, DEPT_TYPE)
    VALUES (SEQ_WGDPT.NEXTVAL, 'Staff', 3);
    Script 2:
    INSERT INTO WORKGROUP_SECTIONS(ID, SECT_NAME, WGDPT_ID)
    VALUES (SEQ_WGSEC.NEXTVAL, 'Staff 1',
    (SELECT ID FROM WORKGROUP_DEPARTMENTS
    WHERE DEPT_NAME = 'Staff'
    AND DEPT_TYPE = '3')
    Script 3:
    INSERT INTO WORKGROUPS(NAME, UNIT_TYPE, WGSEC_ID)
    VALUES ('Staff Room', 3,
    (SELECT ID FROM WORKGROUP_SECTIONS
    WHERE SECT_NAME = 'Staff 1')
    As you can see, in scripts 1 and 2 a new value is produced from a sequence (SEQ_WGDPT & SEQ_WGSEC respectively). Then, in scripts 2 & 3 (respectively) these values are inserted into another table.
    What I'm trying to figure out is: can I do the same thing here without having to include the horrible SELECT statements in scripts 2 & 3 in order to find the ID, which was produced by the sequence in the previous script?
    Unfortunately they do have to be separate scripts, and as such I can't call Sequence.CurrVal from a different script as other users may have used the sequence since it was used initially in the previous script. I could call it from the original calling script, and save it intop a variable, but I have no idea how to - even if it is the right idea!
    I tried to insert the sequence value into a variable a la PL/SQL so that I could call this variable from the next script, but failed miserably as I'm rubbish!
    Any help would be great. Thanks.

    You can use PL/SQL, for example:
    SQL> desc t
    Name                                      Null?    Type
    ID                                                 NUMBER
    NAME                                               VARCHAR2(10)

    SQL> create sequence seq_1;
    Sequence created.
    SQL> declare

      7   returning id into prev_id;
      8   insert into t2 values(seq_1.nextval,'C',prev_id);
      9  end;
    10  /

  • Aim to process all files in folders on desktop to run through photoshop and save in multiple locations

    Aim to process all files in folders on desktop to run through photoshop and save in multiple locations
    Part one:-
    Gather information from desktop to get brand names and week numbers from the folders
    Excluding folders on desktop beginning with "2" or "Hot"
    Not sure about the list of folders
    but I have got this bit to work with
    set folderPath to "Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Desktop:DIVA_WK30_PSD" --<<this would be gained from the items on the desktop
    set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, ":"}
    set folderName to last text item of folderPath
    set my text item delimiters to "_WK"
    set FolderEndName to last text item of folderName
    set brandName to first text item of folderName
    set my text item delimiters to "_PSD"
    set weekNumber to first text item of FolderEndName
    set my text item delimiters to oldTID
    After running this I have enough information to create folders in multiple locations, (i need to know where they are so that photoshop can later save them in those multiple locations
    So I need the following folders created
    Locally
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName: brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR" --(Set path for Later)PathA
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName: brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_HR"--(Set path for Later)PathB
    Network
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:"Week" + weekNumber
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:"Week" + weekNumber:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR"  --(Set path for Later)PathC
    Volumes:GEN:Website_Images --(no need to create folder just set path)PathD
    FTP (Still as a normal Volume) So like another Network
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR"  --(Set path for Later)PathE
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_HR"  --(Set path for Later)PathF
    I like to think that is end of Part 1
    Part 2
    Take the images  (PSD's) from those folders relevant to the Brand then possibly run more applescript that opens flattens and then saves it in the locations above.
    For example….
    An image in folder DIVA_WK30_PSD will then run an applescript in Photoshop, lets call it DivaProcessImages within this we then save to PathA, PathB, PathC, PathD, PathE, PathF the folder path of C should therefore look like this
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:Week30:DIVA_WK30_LR and of course save the image as original filename.
    Then from the next folder
    An image in folder Free_WK30_PSD will then run an applescript in Photoshop, lets call it FreeProcessImages within this we then save to PathA, PathB, PathC, PathD, PathE, PathF the folder path of C should therefore look like this
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:Week30:Free_WK30_LR and of course save the image as original filename.
    The photoshop applescript i'm hoping will be easier as it should be a clearer step by step process without any if's and but's
    Now for the coffee!!

  • How to run multiple CodedUI Ordered Tests over multiple Test Agents for parallel execution using Test Controller

    we are using VS 2013, I need to run multiple Coded UI Ordered Tests in parallel on different agents.
    My requirement :
    Example:   I have 40 Coded UI Test scripts in single solution/project. i want to run in different OS environments(example 5 OS ).  I have created 5 Ordered tests with the same 40 test cases.

    status showing as 'running' still for long time (exp: More then 3 hr) after that all so  its not responding. 
    I need to know how I can configure my controller or how I can tell it to execute these tests in parallel on different test agents. This will help me reducing the script execution time. 
     I am not sure what steps I am missing. 
    It will be of great help if someone can guide me how this can be achieved.
    -- > One more thing Can I Run one Coded UI Ordered Test on One Specific Test Agent?
    ex: Need to run ordered Test 1 in Win 7 OS (Test Agent 1) only.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Divakar,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    As far as I know, we cannot specify coded UI ordered test run on specific test agent. And it is mainly that test controller determine which coded UI ordered test assign to which test agent.
    Generally, I know that if we want to run multiple CodedUI Ordered Tests over multiple Test Agents for parallel execution using Test Controller.
    We will need to change the MinimumTestsPerAgent property to 1 in the test controller configuration file (QTControllerConfig.exe.config) as you said.
    And then we will need to change the bucketSize number of tests/number of machines in the test settings.
    For more information about how to set this bucketSize value, please refer the following blog.

    You can refer this Jack's suggestion to run your coded UI ordered test in lab Environment or load test.

  • Possible to play a single embedded audio clip over multiple pages?

    hi
    i'm wondering if it's possible to have a single audio clip play over more than one page in an interactive pdf generated in indesign cs5.5?  in the media preview it seems to work but when i export to pdf the audio stops playing when i move to the next page, even when the "stop on page flip" is NOT checked in the media object options box.
    what i want is the oppositite of an object with multiple states; looking for a single media object with multiple pages.  thoughts?  i'm publishing song lyrics, need to have the audio playing through the whole text of the piece when it runs to the next page.
    thanks

    In the other forum I stated:
    It can be done by choosing the right option but it has been my experience that the continuous playback only works in Adobe Acrobat and not in any version of Adobe Reader across different devices including computers.
    Your best bet would be to publish an interactive Flash file and if you need that to be on an iOS device get someone with an iOS developer license to convert the published Flash file into an iOS app.  You might even be able to convert the Flash file into an epub like a digital magazine but I am inexperienced with this aspect of InDesign.  There are good tutorials that I've seen briefly on creating epub digital magazines from InDesign though so do some research on it and report back. 
    Have you explored any of this thus far?  I hope you get some good results.

  • Search multiple folders for files with same name and create single file

     I have a project where I need to search multiple folders for a file name and when found append data from each file to a single input file.
     Example
    root folder to start search
    \\servera\sales
    \\servera\it\salesa\cmmstr.txt
    \\servera\it\salesb\cmmstr.txt
    \\servera\it\salesc\cmmstr.txt
     I need to create a a single cmmstr.txt on the root folder. I would like it to be able to run this with parms to pass in folders to search and file names to search and single file name to create. I'm going to have a least 10 differnt files to
    search for and create output file for. The folders to search
    will somewhat be static.
     Thanks.

    I tested this out on my own seat and I think it should work for you. I wrote it as a function, all you have to do is pass the root folders you want to search and the file your looking for. The function will then search that directory and all sub directories
    for that file name. you will also have to provide it a file to append to, if the file dosen't exists the function will create it. If you run into an issues let me know and the links Mike
    Laughlin posted are a great resource.
    Function Search-Files{
    Param([String[]]$Locations, $SearchFor, $AppendTo)
    Begin
    If(-Not (Test-Path $AppendTo)){New-Item $AppendTo -ItemType File -Force}
    Process
    ForEach($Location in $Locations)
    $Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Location -Filter $SearchFor -Recurse
    ForEach($File in $Files)
    Get-Content -Path $FIles.FullName | Out-File $AppendTo -Append
    End{}
    Search-Files -Locations "\\Server1\c$\Temp", "\\Server1\c$\Test1" -SearchFor "Install.cmd" -AppendTo "C:\Temp\Search.log"

  • Clear template cache on multiple CF instances in a single action?

    I'm running several instances of Coldfusion on the same box
    with template caching turned 'on' for each instance. I have it set
    up where one instance will replicate file changes to the other
    instances, but with caching turned on, I currently have to log in
    to each CF Admin instance and click the "Clear Template Cache Now"
    button for the file changes to appear. As I add more instances,
    this will become an increasingly tedious process.
    Does anyone have or know of a way to clear template cache
    across multiple CF instances in a single action?

    Is that in fact true?
    Yes.

    The Admin API is an application programming interface: you
    are supposed
    to write your own scripts that call its methods.

  • How do I run a table over multiple pages?

    Hi I write TV scripts using a simple two column table which can be many rows long - how can I get Pages to automatically run the table over multiple pages whilst still allowing me to cut and paste and rearrange the script? This is simple in Word and must work in pages but I can't work out how to get it to work. I've tried looking at the Page Break feature but it won't come up from the table?
    many thanks

    At this time, There is no way to drive tables in Pages with AppleScript.
    Do your job in Numbers which allow that.

  • I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones

    I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
    Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
    Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
    cheers

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

  • Desktop appearance problem:  For no apparent reason my Mac running OSX 10.4.11 imposed a mesh-like pattern over the folders on my desktop and also across the top of the screen and down the right-hand side where I have the dock.  How do I remove it?

    For no apparent reason my Mac (2 GHz PowerPC G5) running 10.4.11 has put a mesh-like pattern over the folders on my desktop and also a band of the same pattern across the top of the screen and down the right-hand side over the dock.  (See screen grabs below.)
    It doesn't affect any operations but makes folder names and drop-down menus difficult to read through the pattern.
    I'm not aware of changing any settings so suspect I must have clicked on something without noticing.  How do I get rid of the overlaid pattern, please?
