Script encoder custom preference?

Is there any way to script encoder custom preference? I wanna do an Automator action to change the MP3 encoder to lowest quality possible, convert a file, then change it back to the original encoder preference.
Changing the encoder (from MP3 Encoder to AAC Encoder for instance) are well documented but changing the encoder's preference seems to be impossible, please advise.
I can think of a work-around: To create a duplicate of MP3 Encoder, each of which has a different custom setting so I can avoid using to script to change encoder's preference, but essentially change from one encoder to another.

Either in /Library/PreferencePanes or in /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences
A simple Spotlight search would have found them for you.

Changing Import Settings in AAC Encoder, Custom

I changed my import settings to AAC Encoder, Custom, and set the bit rate to 160 kbps from the menu of options. Now that it is set, I cannot change it. It no longer shows a menu of bit options. How can I change my Custom settings again?

Note, I use iTunes 7.5. With this version I:
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing
Import Using: AAC Encoder
Settings: Custom
--> New window
Stereo bitrate: [a selection from from 16 to 320]

How do I save my EXPORT custom preferences

I want to make a custom preference for exporting MOV files*.
There seems to be no SAVE PRESET... option so I have to keep entering in the details every time I want to do a custom export.
Is there a way of saving custom export presets?
*File->Export...->Quicktime Movie...

It's a feature that we've been screaming about for several years, put it in the FCP Feedback folder, if youcan find it.
What you really want to do is export a reference movie and use a droplet that you create in Compressor. the small extra steps of locating the ref file and plopping it on the droplet are insignificant if you do this often. The Compressor droplet can be set to do all kinds of interesting and scriptable things.

IDOC script in custom element forms

Hi,
I am using Site Studio 10gr4.
I was wondering if its possible to use IDOC script inside custom element forms. What I want to acheive is to display a combox box inside a custom element in a static list. The values inside the combobox are retreived from one of the views (created inside Configuration Manager in the content server).
Your help will be appreciated.
Many Thanks

OK, I found the answer :).
I checked in the custom element element form as an HTM. Chaning it to HCSP fixed the issue :).

Scripting.encoder object documentation

Greetings,
I need to encode a vbscript (actually in a HTA). Someone has srcenc but it only runs on win xp.
I have found a script which does the encoding which uses the "Scripting.encoder" object that works fine on windows 7.
However, I cannot find any documentation on the properties and methods of this object. Does it exist anywhere?
Thanks
David Z

Sorry all of these things are obsolete.
In case you missed it, this is the 21st century.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
and sarcasm is still the lowest form of wit....
Funny how that object can still be used in Windows 8.1 Update 1.
It is still the 21st century and HTAs are obsolete which is why you cannot easily fid documentation.
What script ing options might there be? How about the name of one of the script languages installed. Perhaps "vbscript" or "jscript".
In way I was trying to shy you away from trying to use this as it does not work well on Vista and later systems. It has never worked correctly for HTAs.
There are many third party tools which can obfuscate a script. Look into these.
Here is one obsolete blog on the encode:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2006/03/09/how-can-i-encode-scripts-within-an-hta.aspx
The encoder control does not work well with HTAs. Try it. You will see that it fails in strange ways.
Microsoft has not supported this control for almost 10 years. Now that XP is gone it will disappear. It currently will not workon mist implementations of Windows 8.1 and 2012.
I first warned people about this control back in 2006. The same people are now coming back wanting fixes that do not exists.
Use PowerShell or XAML for GUIs. They are not likely to be an issue fro the next few years.
If you search for information ou will find that the information was pulled by Microsoft in about 2003. No one should be attempting to use this control anymore and it has been included only for compatibility with no support. If it work OK.
If not - too bad.
The arguments are simple:
Set se = CreateObject("Scripting.Encoder")
se.EncodeScriptFile(strExt,byte_stream,cFlags,bstrDefaultLang)
cFlags is 0 for all but "ASP"
bstrDefaultLang is not needed
strExt is the file extension for the language which is either "vbs". "js", "asp" or the extension of any installed scripting languages that support the encoder.
Search and you will find many examples along with discussions on the failures and some fixes. You will see dozens of answers from me back to at least 2003. I started using the script encode and control in about 1995 when it was first distributed
with Visual Studio. I still have the CDs with the SDK. I will sell them to you if you really want documentation. I will not even attempt to find the docs in that stack of about 30 CDs.
Take my advice please. Do not use obsolete software. If you really want to I have licensed copies of Windows ME that you can have. I even have an old TRS 80 - do you want to buy that?

UCCX Scripting for customer survey

Hello All,
I have below customer survey requirement,
First Script
1) Call fro PSTN , called to toll free number which is land to IVR Port number at UCCX end
2) agent will answer the call.
3)agent will ask customer to submit survey online.
4) agent will transfer the call to trigger (eg. 2033) for customer survey , run the external script.
Second Script
1) Customer will get some prompt and menu option to fill the survey.
Now i am getting challenge to get the agent extension in second script which i wanted to store in database

That's a good point. The Calling Number value from Get Call Contact Info changes from the Agent to the Customer at the point in which the Agent completes the transfer. If you simply played a prompt which informed the Agent when it was ok to complete the transfer, then you will have ample time to grab the Agent DN for your records.
Call Flow of Second Script
Start
Accept
Get Call Contact Info to Grab Agent DN
Play Prompt "Agent DN Recorded. Please complete transfer now"
Delay 3 seconds
Begin Survey

Oracle Scripting 11i - custom java command problem

Hello
Can someone pls help me with the following issue I'm having with Oracle Scripting 11i.
I want to use in my script a custom Java command for a shortcut button. I follow the instructions given in the docs that I found, but seems that I miss something, so pls advice.
This is what I did:
1. in my script a defined a shortcut button with a Java command type. The command name is correctly specified as :
a.b.myclass::mymethod - I'm also passing a Proxy parameter and a string - the name of the group I want to jump to. (this is the exact example I found in Oracle Scripting use and administer course dating from 2000 -:( ).
2. I packaged my classes in a jar. (What is strange is that I am using the exact code for my method as the ScriptUtil class provided as bestpractice by Oracle)
3. using Oracle Scripting Administration Console I upload my jar as global.
4. Deploy my script to the database.
5. Run the script
After all that, what I get when I push the shortcut button is .... nothing!!!!
If I am removing my jar from the database using Oracle Scripting Administration console - I am getting "Unable to load class since no jar was associated with your script"
If I'm indicating on purpose a Java method name (that does not exist in my class) I'm getting java.lang.RuntimeException.
So, I really do not know what the problem is, since my code is the same as the ScriptUtil class, and if I'm using the Script Util as my Java Command it works just fine.
Can someone help me? What am I doing wrong? Did I missed a step?
Thank you

How to fix "OS X Lion user's custom preferences are not retained after reboots"?

How to quickly fix "many of user's custom preferences from within OS X Lion 10.7.x and/or MtLion 10.8.x are not retained after Mac reboots and/or log-offs"?

If many of the user’s custom preferences from within OS X Lion 10.7.x and/or Mountain Lion 10.8.x are not retained on Mac after reboots and/or log-offs, then implement this following QUICK FIX procedure:
Login to user’s OS X login profile… access & select the Finder pull-down menu Go… next select Library (just user’s Library only available when holding-down the Option key here within OS X Lion + MtLion)… find-select-and move the Preferences folder out from the overall user’s Library to the user’s Desktop area for temporary safe keeping. Then log-off user and/or reboot Mac… log-in as user, and reset all user’s custom preferences (System Preferences, Dock icons, etc. [OS X system now recreating all user’s login profile preferences]) according to their previous Desktop setup. Finally reboot after making all new user preferences setting changes… log-in again as user, and check to ensure that all user custom preferences now stays retained. If all OK, then you may move the corrupted Preferences folder from the user’s Desktop area to the Trash for final deletion.
*NOTE: Is this above-written QUICK FIX completely acceptable to Apple's OS X Lion + MtLion troubleshooting standards? So far this solution appears to have fixed a recent iMac user's issues with custom preferences.

How To trigger last page in sap script of customer account statement

Hello all,
I am working on customer account statement.
It has it's own standard script(F140_CUS_STAT_02). But my client's requirement was completly diffrent,so i copied that to z script and made some changes like delete some window and some another window.
Now on first page , i have following windows,
1) Header
2) address
3) main
4) Account
5) Footer.
Next Page having following windows,
1) Header
2) Main
3) account
4) footer
Now i want to print account window on lsat page, so i put the condition nextpage = 0.
and it is working fine , but as account window is physically present after Main window , so that much blak sapge is getting creted after main window on every page.
To remove that blank space i am thinking of creting one more page and everytime i want display account window on that page.
I have creted the last page also. but in my output it not detecting that last page.
For First page - next page is next.
For Next page - next page is next.
for Last page- next page is last.
Also i have added following code at last in main window.
/: NEXT-PAGE LAST.
But i think i am placing this code at incorrect position in main window.
I am not able to find out the correct podition to put the above code,but main window of that script conataing so namy text element, and that text element are getting handled from driver program based on some conditions.
I have added my code in main window but not changed the original code.
Plz let me know where to write /: NEXT-PAGE LAST. in main window.
Or provide me some another solution to trigger thet last page in sap script.
Regards,
Anuja Dhondge

Hi ,
actually in account window i have used tha box command to print account statement.
Previously i was printing this account statement in main window itself but without using bottom and end bottom command.
So , as i made some changes or add some code in main window then lines of this account statement were getting dismental.
So my question is using bottom and end-bottom command this will happen or not????

For your reference: A real life AppleScript script regarding custom tags

I'm working through a collection of photographs from iPhoto. One problem I have is that I have more than one set of the photographs and trying to eradicate duplicates and identify the true original images is rather difficult.
One thing that can help is referring to the complete EXIF data from the image file. Unfortunately, Aperture doesn't give us the complete EXIF set, only a subset. In addition, Aperture doesn't allow us to see the File date/time; only the Image date/time.
So I wrote this script. Before running the script, I batch renamed all of the images in my subject project using '<counter 4>—<Master Name>' to be sure that every image had a unique name. I then exported the masters from the subject project using '<Version Name>', the reason being that Aperture doesn't allow access to the file name via AppleScript. GraphicConverter will read the EXIF data from this exported set and the script will write most of the EXIF data back to the image in Aperture via custom tags.
One caveat: Aperture is *slow*. It requires almost 4 seconds to write each custom tag. With 6000+ images in my subject project, this script will take a while to complete.
The script:
tell application "Aperture"
activate
tell project "untitled Project" of folder ""
-- set theImages to every image version
-- move through the images one by one, deleting and creating the appropriate
-- custom tags from exif text obtained from exported versions via GraphicConverter.
repeat with i from 1 to theImages's length
tell theImages's item i
-- tell image version id "++s5iIgRT1uKC8lrxd5bMg" -- test image
delete (every custom tag whose name begins with "GC–")
set exifdata to getEXIF(name) of me
repeat with i from 1 to exifdata's length
copy ("GC– " & exifdata's item i's first item) to tName
copy (exifdata's item i's second item) to tValue
make new custom tag with properties {name:tName, value:tValue}
end repeat
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell
return
property exportedImagesFolder : alias "Bulbul:- exported from Aperture -:Canon IXUS 2:"
property exifTagsToIgnore : {"Make", ¬
"Model", ¬
"Resolution unit", ¬
"Y and C positioning", ¬
"Exposure time", ¬
"F number", ¬
"Exif version", ¬
"Meaning of each component", ¬
"Shutter speed", ¬
"Aperture", ¬
"Exposure bias", ¬
"Maximum lens aperture", ¬
"Metering mode", ¬
"Flash", ¬
"Lens focal length", ¬
"Unknown tag (1)", ¬
"Owner Name", ¬
"Color Space", ¬
"Interoperability Index", ¬
"Focal plane resolution unit", ¬
"White balance", ¬
"Resolution unit", ¬
"Offset to JPEG SOI", ¬
"Bytes of JPEG data"}
to getEXIF(vName)
copy alias ((exportedImagesFolder as string) & vName & ".jpg") to vFile
tell application "GraphicConverter"
copy (get file exif of vFile) to theEXIF
end tell
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","
repeat with i from 1 to theEXIF's length
set theEXIF's item i to ¬
{text item 3 of theEXIF's item i, text from text item 4 to -1 of theEXIF's item i}
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set newEXIF to {}
set fileDate to ""
set imageDate to ""
repeat with i from 1 to theEXIF's length
copy theEXIF's item i's first item to tName
if tName is not in exifTagsToIgnore and ¬
tName does not start with "Unknown" then
set end of newEXIF to theEXIF's item i
if tName begins with "File date and time" then
set fileDate to date (theEXIF's item i's second item)
else if tName begins with "Date and time of original" then
set imageDate to date (theEXIF's item i's second item)
end if
end if
end repeat
if fileDate is not "" and imageDate is not "" then
if fileDate is less than (imageDate + 24 * 60 * 60) then
set end of newEXIF to {"File & Image Same Date", "True"}
else
set end of newEXIF to {"File & Image Same Date", "False"}
end if
end if
return newEXIF
end getEXIF

Correction 1:
please uncomment the line near the top of the script that reads:
-- set theImages to every image version
Correction 2:
writing the custom tags via AppleScript gets faster after Aperture's done it a few times.

Script to Copy preference file to all users profiles and to the default template

I have build a package using Apple PackageMaker, this will install an application and a preference (plist) file to the current logged in user. Now I wanted to build a postflight script, which can copy a plist (ex com.test.plist) form an current logged in user to other user account on a machine also to the default user template (/System/Library/user template/...../Library/preferences) so any new user account created will have same preference file copied.

Hi Mark...here is another script which work well if I have to copy my preference file from an account named as "admin" or some other account. However, it not certain that all Mac machine will have a account named as "admin". This is why I am looking for a way to copy the preference file from /private/var location to all user accounts on a mac.
#!/bin/sh
localUsers=$( dscl . list /Users UniqueID | awk '$2 >= 501 {print $1}' | grep -v admin )
for userName in "$localUsers"; do
     cp /Users/admin/Library/Preferences/org.mypreference.plist /Users/$userName/Library/Preferences/
     chown $userName /Users/$userName/Library/Preferences/org.mypreference.plist
done
I tried to update it as suggest in some other forum like this, still no luck
#!/bin/sh
UserAccounts=`dscl . list /Users UniqueID | awk '$2 > 500 { print $1 }'`
for userName in "$UserAccounts"; do
     cp /private/var/org.mypreference.plist /Users/$userName/Library/Preferences/
     chown $userName /Users/$userName/Library/Preferences/org.mypreference.plist
done
When I run the above script it comes up with the following error:
cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file
cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directory
chown: admin: No such file or directory
chown: admin/Library/Preferences/org.mypreference.plist: No such file or directory

Email form script with custom text field and drop-down menu?

Hey, I'm building a website in iWeb - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19707357/Website/craftpackage.html
And I was looking for a script that could possibly send an email to me with the info a user chooses from/puts in 1. dropdown menu 2. text field 3. another text field. I'd be awesome if the fields could have a custom background or a transparent background.The drop-down menu could have any background, but it would be awesome if it could be made with custom images !

Basic question.
What have you yourself done to find out?
Nothing?
Start here :
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+a+mail+form
http://www.google.com/search?q=dropdown+menu+with+transparent+background
Unfortunately, it has no dropdown menu :
http://www.wyodor.net/blog/archives/2010/01/entry_301.html
Btw, dropdown menus in forms at select menus. These are not the same.
http://www.google.com/search?q=select+menu+form

So start practicing and once everything works the way it should, display it in a html snippet.

Custom Preference Panel for quick access

I love that I can hit CMD-K to get to preferences and toggle things like Scale Strokes & Effects. But that's pretty much the only one I toggle in that area.
Request: A custom control panel (keyboard shortcut accessible) so I can quickly access frequently-tweaked settings. I don't mind mousing it from there.
First thing I would put is Paste Remembers Layers. I need it to remember about half the time. (I need it to NOT remember the other half.)
But that's just me. The whole point is, people's needs are different. This should be customizable.
Totally different kind of thing: Menu options that launch dialogs like "Manage Artboards". Drag that right in there, and now there's a launch target.
To customize, I'm imagining it open while dragging menu options or what-have you right in there.

Never mind.

SCSM 2012 - Problems running script in custom workflow

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a custom workflow in the Authoring Tool that will send an email when a ticket in certain queues is unassigned, but I only want this to run during business hours. I've created the PowerShell script, and it runs great on its own.
However, whenever I try to add any kind of scripting event to a custom workflow, the workflow fails:
Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.InconsistentDataException: The requested objects had an unknown management pack. ---> Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.InconsistentDataException: The call produced inconsistent results. The data on the client
does not match the data returned from the server. The most likely cause is that client-side cache is out of sync with server data. ---> Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.ObjectNotFoundException: An object of class ManagementPack with ID %GUID% was not
found...
If I create and import a management pack with an empty workflow, the workflow succeeds. If I use the "Add AD DS User to Group", the workflow succeeds. But as soon as I add a scripting event, the workflow fails.
For testing, I added a PowerShell event with this code:
$a=1
I also added a Command Script event with this code and got the same error as above: ping SomeServer
I even tried a VBScript, but that caused the workflow to not run at all:
dim someVariable
someVariable = "some value"
I then disabled the VBScript activity and the workflow runs successfully.
I'm running SCSM 2012 SP1 with UR4. I am copying the .dll file into the SCSM installation directory (which is not in the default location). The GUID referenced in the error code is the GUID for my custom MP.
This is my first time creating a custom workflow in the Authoring Tool. Can you tell me what I'm missing? Please let me know if you need any more information
Thanks!
Marnie

Thanks, Anders. I had seen that issue in my searches on this problem. I had tried both the manual fix suggested in that post as well as upgrading to UR4 (so I'm on on SP1 UR4). Neither approach made any difference.
Am I supposed to do anything with the .cs, .xoml, and .xomlx files that also get generated? I noticed that if I move ALL the associated files into the install directory (not just the .dll file), then import the MP, I get a different error. Instead of the
MP being missing, the error is now:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Microsoft.ServiceManager.WorkflowAuthoring.ActivityLibrary.WindowsPowerShellScript.Activity_Closed(Object sender, ActivityExecutionStatusChangedEventArgs e)
   at System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityExecutorDelegateInfo`1.ActivityExecutorDelegateOperation.Run(IWorkflowCoreRuntime workflowCoreRuntime)
   at System.Workflow.Runtime.Scheduler.Run()
This makes it seem like I do need to move ALL the files to the install directory, but maybe now the workflow just doesn't like my code?
Thanks!

Calling script from custom panel not working on all Photoshop installs

I'm using Configurator to create a custom panel. The panel uses the html widget for the gui and which basically is made up of six links that points to different scripts located in Presets/Scripts.
The links look like this <a href="adobe://photoshop.cs5/Scripts/Foo bar">Foo bar</a> and works fine most of the time.
However, on some systems the links won't work. I can call the scripts fine via File/Scripts but they won't run via the panel. I've tried to debug with ExtendScript Toolkit but it looks like they don't run at all. In other words it's like the links are broken. My first guess was to remove spaces in the name of the script files but that didn't work.
Any idea what's going on?
The entire source is available on http://lumens.se/tychpanel.

Is it possible that some other software interferes with the flash panels of Photoshop? Like if the users runs some sort of antivirus/protection software? I think it's farfetched but I'm running out of ideas.
Adobe, do you know about this issue? One of my users is willing to do remote debugging so if interested you could look at this bug directly.
