Script for adding layer name to artboard as text

I've found scripts that are sort of close but not quite this.
I have 1 artboard and many layers (see image).
Does anyone have a script that will take the name of the layer, ie "01_Intro" and create and then place the text "01_Intro" on to the art board in layer 01_Intro? Then it would repeat the process for all the present layers?
Thanks in advance!

Waterbear,
something like this?
// LayersnamesInUpperLeftCorner.jsx
// https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1546630
// write layers names in upper left corner of the active artboard
// required: opened document, no toplevel layers locked, all layers visible
// regards pixxxelschubser
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
var theLayers = aDoc.layers;
for (i=0; i<theLayers.length; i++) {
    var txt = theLayers[i].textFrames.add();
    txt.position = [0,0];
    txt.contents = theLayers[i].name;
Have fun

Script for using layer name in Save for Web command

I am using the Save for Web command (Illustrator CS2) to export layers to CSS so that each layer is saved as a different jpg. The only issue I have is that I want the layer name to be part of the file name, but layer name is not an option when I look at the "Edit Output settings" dialog for saving files. Is there anyway I can do this? I do not have experience writing or working with scripts.
For example. My fiel name is flower.ai. I will have 20 different layers (each containing a different color of the same image) and want the exported file to be flower-scarlet.jpg, flower-cranberry,jpg, etc. Right now I am looking at renaming all the files manually, but as I am creating 40 images per product on my website, this will be very time consuming.
Thanks in advance
Christine

Btw.. to make it work for JPGs, change the PNG options to the following:
var options = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
        options.antiAliasing = false;
        options.optimization = false;
        options.artBoardClipping = true;
        options.qualitySetting = 100; // value of 0 to 100, 60 is medium, 100 is perfect
        options.blurAmount = 0;
        options.verticalScale = 100;
        options.horizontalScale = 100;

Is there a script for changing layer names in ID CS4?

I have multiple documents with an average of 20 layers in each. Each of the layers is named for the expiration date of the coupon in the ads. When a new order comes in I retrieve the previous files and change the dates via scripts and the Find/Change option. I have looked but cannot find a way to rename the dates in the layers as well.
Does anyone know of a script for this?
Thanks in advance!

E-mail, eh? You're missing out a lot of fun stuff, as there is
- editing your own posts
- using bold and italics to highlight important stuff
- finally being able to shout (some posters think it's necessary to use a large bold font to make their post stand out in the crowd. They are correct, it does. In the Bad way.)
- inserting images
- uh, Jive (-- sorry, couldn't think of any more fun stuff to add)

Scripts for adding/deleting/modifying Open Directory accounts?

I think I have searched high and low for an answer to this question, but if I missed it please point me in the right direction. Where can I find information on scripts for adding/deleting/modifying open directory accounts? At the very least, a command line utility with some syntax guidelines! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I personally don't know if any scripts although you can use the command line to do pretty much anything you want with the Open Directory. Consult the manual: man dscl. If you launch terminal and issue dscl you should see something like this:
my-Laptop:~ me$ dscl
dscl (v20.4)
usage: dscl [options] [<datasource> [<command>]]
datasource:
localhost (default) or
<hostname> (requires DS proxy support, >= DS-158) or
<nodename> (Directory Service style node name) or
<domainname> (NetInfo style domain name)
options:
-u <user> authenticate as user (required when using DS Proxy)
-P <password> authentication password
-p prompt for password
-raw don't strip off prefix from DS constants
-url print record attribute values in URL-style encoding
-q quiet - no interactive prompt
commands:
-read <path> [<key>...]
-create <record path> [<key> [<val>...]]
-delete <path> [<key> [<val>...]]
-list <path> [<key>]
-append <record path> <key> <val>...
-merge <record path> <key> <val>...
-change <record path> <key> <old value> <new value>
-changei <record path> <key> <value index> <new value>
-search <path> <key> <val>
-auth [<user> [<password>]]
-authonly [<user> [<password>]]
-passwd <user path> [<new password> | <old password> <new password>]
Entering interactive mode...
The above is for 10.4 and should server equally as well for 10.5.
Hope this helps, Tony

Script for adding a login item for all accounts in the system

Hi,
Thanks for reading this query. I am new to the mac environment. I have developed a java application and created an installer of this application for MAC system.I want to run this application on starting the system. So I have written an apple script for adding this application in login items and this script will run immediately after completing installation process. And the entire process is fine. But the problem is, the application is added to login items of only the user who installed the application. But I want to get available the application in the login list of all accounts created in the system. How can I achieve this? Once more thanks in advance. I am attaching my script below:
+*tell application "System Events"*+
+* make login item at end with properties {path:"/Applications/MyApplication.app", hidden:true}*+
+*end tell*+

A script for adding the current date to file name?

I am working in Indesign CS3. I frequently save file as PDFs into a designated folder. I was hoping for help in writing a script that would apply the current date to the end of the file name, when saved into this folder. Some days, I save the same file several times, into this folder. I was also hoping there was a way to add a date and version, for example "filename_2.25.11(1).pdf" Is this possible? Can someone help me?

ok, I ended up with this test routine:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this in added_items
my checkifopened(this)
display dialog (name of this) as text
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
on checkifopened(this)
set a to POSIX path of (this as alias)
repeat until 1 = 0
## don't like that one because it relies on an error msg ... so
(** try
set b to do shell script "lsof | grep " & quoted form of a
on error
exit repeat
end try**)
##so I use this one
set b to do shell script "lsof"
if b does not contain a then
exit repeat
else
say "still opened"
end if
end repeat
end checkifopened
this is a folder action that tests if the added file is still opened by an application... there is no delay between each test-loop since lsof takes some time to execute...
And after adding a timeout (just in case) to this function the final script looks like this:
on adding folder items to thefolder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
set folderkind to kind of thefolder
set myfiles to every item of thefolder whose name does not contain "#" and kind is not folderkind
repeat with myfile in myfiles
set myfile_datestring to my get_datestring(creation date of myfile)
set myfilename to name of myfile
if (count of every character of myfilename) > 4 and (character -4 of myfilename) as text is "." then
set filestatus to my checkifopened(myfile, 60)
if filestatus = false then
display dialog "timeout on folder action"
else
set tmp to ((characters 1 through -5 of myfilename) & "#" & myfile_datestring & (characters -4 through -1 of myfilename)) as text
set myfilename to my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(tmp, thefolder, false)
set name of myfile to myfilename
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
on get_datestring(mydate)
return year of mydate & "-" & (characters -2 through -1 of (("0" & (month of mydate as integer)) as text)) & "-" & (characters -2 through -1 of (("0" & (day of mydate as integer)) as text)) as text
end get_datestring
on checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, looped)
--check if filename exists in D
-- so if "A File.pdf" exists it names it "A File 1.pdf","A File 2.pdf",...
#n = string of the filename
#D = file reference to the directory to check
#looped = boolean used for recursive loop...
tell application "Finder"
set thefiles to name of every item of (D as alias)
end tell
if thefiles contains n then
if looped = false then
set n to ((characters 1 through -5 of n) & "(1)" & (characters -4 through -1 of n)) as text
my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, true)
else
set tmp to (last word of ((characters 1 through -5 of n) as text) as integer)
set tmpcount to (count of characters of (tmp as text)) + 5
set tmp to tmp + 1
set n to ((characters 1 through (-1 * tmpcount) of n) & "(" & tmp & ")" & (characters -4 through -1 of n)) as text
my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, true)
end if
else
return n
end if
end checknamewith_pdfsuffix
on checkifopened(this, mytimeout)
## this file reference
## timeout in seconds
set a to POSIX path of (this as alias)
set startdate to current date
repeat until 1 = 0
## don't like that one because it relies on an error msg ... so
(** try

if b does not contain a then
return true
else if ((current date) - startdate) > mytimeout then
return false
else
##say "still opened"

end checkifopened
to use this save this script in /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts

Script to change layer name in to Document name.

Hi I would like to make the active layer name the same as the document name. I know very little about scripting. I found this script:
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var ilayer = idoc.activeLayer;
var filename = idoc.name;
ilayer.name = filename;
It does almost what I need it to do. except that it also copies the ".ai" in to the layer name. Is there some way to modify this script to have it exclude or delete the file extension?
Thanks for any help.

Or, if you want to keep the same construction as your example...
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var ilayer = idoc.activeLayer;
var filename = idoc.name;
filename = filename.slice (0, filename.lastIndexOf(".")); //just add this line to the construction.
ilayer.name = filename;

Script for adding datafile to tablespace

Hi
Does anyone have a template alter tablespace add datafile script handy?
Basically, we need to, in the event of a tablespace alert, do two things:
query that tablespace to see how much space is remaining.
ascertain the size of the datafiles added to that tablespace already (to clarify what size we should make the additional datafile)
finally, the command itself for adding the extra datafile.
Thanks.
10.0.2.0

SELECT Total.tablespace_name "TSPACE_NAME",
round(nvl(TOTAL_SPACE,0),2) Tot_space,
round(nvl(USED_Space,0),2) Used_space,
round(nvl(TOTAL_SPACE - USED_Space,0),2) Free_space,
round(nvl(round(nvl((TOTAL_SPACE - USED_Space)*100,0),2)/(Total_space),0),2) "USED%"
FROM
(select tablespace_name, sum(bytes/1024/1024) TOTAL_SPACE
from sys.dba_data_files
group by tablespace_name
) Total,
(select tablespace_name, sum(bytes/1024/1024) USED_Space
from sys.dba_segments
group by tablespace_name
) USED
WHERE Total.Tablespace_name(+) = USED.tablespace_name and
round(nvl(round(nvl((TOTAL_SPACE - USED_Space)*100,0),2)/(Total_space),0),2)< 20;
the above query will display tablespaces which are having freespace below 20%
select file_name,autoextensible,sum(bytes)/1024/1024,sum(maxbytes)/1024/1024
from dba_data_files
where tablespace_name='TBS_NAME'
group by file_name,autoextensible;
the above query will give details of datafiles like autoextensible or not etc.
SELECT SUBSTR (df.NAME, 1, 40) file_name,dfs.tablespace_name, df.bytes / 1024 / 1024 allocated_mb,
((df.bytes / 1024 / 1024) - NVL (SUM (dfs.bytes) / 1024 / 1024, 0))
used_mb,
NVL (SUM (dfs.bytes) / 1024 / 1024, 0) free_space_mb
FROM v$datafile df, dba_free_space dfs
WHERE df.file# = dfs.file_id(+)
GROUP BY dfs.file_id, df.NAME, df.file#, df.bytes,dfs.tablespace_name
ORDER BY file_name;
the above query will show how much freespace is left in each datafile.

Script to search layer names

Hi -
Does anyone know if there is a script that can search through layer names within a file for a specific text string and then select it as the active layer?
For instance, if a file has 4 layers, named My LayerX, LayerY, LayerZ, LayerA, I want to automatically search for a layer that has the text "rA" and make it the active layer.
Thanks.

This requires CS4 or better. It searchs using a RegExp and Action Manager so it should be very fast. It is set up now to deal with more than one matching layer.
var re = /rA/;// a reg exp
var matches = collectNamesAM(re);// get array of matching layer indexes
for( var l = 0; l < matches.length; l++ ){
    makeActiveByIndex( l, false );
    // do something with layer
    alert(app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name);
}// next match if any
function collectNamesAM(re){
     var allLayers = new Array();
   var startLoop = Number( !hasBackground() );
   var endLoop = getNumberOfLayer();

Best / most popular software or scripts for adding search function to website?

I'm trying to find a good piece of software or script for implementing a site search function into our website. I am relatively knowledgeable in Dreamweaver and can write CSS and XHTML at the fairly intermediate to advanced level, as well as work with JavaScript and js files, but I don't really know much ASP or "by hand" Java coding. Their are so many scripts and software out there for adding a site search that it's hard to sort through and narrow down. I was hoping to find reviews of the popular ones or "top 10 lists" of some sort that would help me pinpoint a good one, but can't find anything like that. These are the primary needs of the website:
--Has under 50 searchable pages that won't change much and probably won't exceed 50. There are product part numbers and descriptions for some 250-300 part numbers, spread across only 24 of those pages. The remaining pages are important but no part numbers-- About Us, News, Where to Buy, History, Featured Products, etc. The product pages are very much like an online store but we don't sell directly on the site (only thru distributors/reps).
--We are trying to keep the price under about $50, or use a free solution
--The pages are all static XHTML+CSS pages, but our server can run ASP (we have another website for one of our other product line divisions, on the same server, with many more products beyond 1000, which was programmed completely in ASP by an outside company about 4 years ago). We self-host both sites.
--Our server can't run PHP
--The search capabilities need only be rather basic-- a keyword search with a results page that uses the same design template as the rest of the site. It would be nice, but not mandatory, to have a search filter and/or a drop down menu to enable selectively searching only certain parts of the site, or only product/part number search vs. general search, etc. (but again, not mandatory).
--I do have a sitemap page already on it, if that matters or helps
Some of the ones I've found so far that looked the most promising include: Zoom Search Engine (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/), Site Search Pro (http://www.site-search-pro.com/), and FX Site Search which is a DW Extension I found in the exchange (http://www.felixone.it/extensions/prod/mxssen.asp)-- (that one looks possibly technically challenging or requiring more ASP skill, though)
Forgive me if there is a better area to post this, if so let me know.

For a static site, your options are:
Google ~ http://www.google.com/sitesearch/
Freefind ~ http://www.freefind.com/
Zoom from Wrensoft ~ http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/

Required alter script for adding partition and subpartition

Hi Folks,
Please help me to write ALTER STATEMENT for adding new partition P1 and SUBPARTITION P1_201001 and P1_201002.
Thank you

First modify the subpartition template
ALTER TABLE TEST set

    SUBPARTITION P1_201001 VALUES (201001),
    SUBPARTITION P1_201002 VALUES (201002)
)Then if the new partition is HIGHER than ALL existing ranges you can just add it
alter table test add
PARTITION "P1" VALUES LESS THAN (5) If the new partition is LOWER than one onf the existing ranges you will need to SPLIT the existing partition.
alter table test SPLIT PARTITION "P3" AT (2)

Bold option, at least for main layer names

I realize it may not be simple, but it would be so helpful in complex docs with many layers and sublayers to have the option of putting some in bold, especially the top/main layers. I have over 250 layers in a complex map doc, all sorted in sublayers with styles, etc., but when I open a layer (even with a 30" screen) it becomes a challenge to find my place. A simple bold main layer would really help.

I can agree with this. I will add to this the suggestion to color entire layer names rather than just the tiny colored area we get now.

Script for making an object the artboard size.

I am looking for some help on trying to make an object the exact size of the artboard. This is something I do on a daily basis for several different reasons and it would be very helpful if this can happen automatically for whatever size the artboard may be. As I understand it the only way is with a script but I have no experience with making illustrator scripts, im definately no programmer. I have set up quickkeys in the past to copy from the artboard inputs when you are on the artboard tool but these round to the nearest .01 and this is not accurate enough for what I am working with. Also if I do this with multiple pages open illustrator is very slow to respond to the artboard tool. If anyone has any idea where to start or has seen other such scripts I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
Below is a script that I saw on here that I believe may contain what I need but now knowing programming I have no idea where to start on editing. All I need is the part where an object is placed on the artboard that is the exact same size as the artboard. If anyone can advise on editing I would greatly apprecaite it.

Thanks to CarlosCanto for the original script, it was very a very helpful starting point to optimize one of our workflows. We customized it a bit to maintain the aspect ratio (just takes the greater of the width / height and scales proportionally to the artboard size), and also center up the object in the middle of the artboard once scaling is complete. I hope it is helpful to someone:

Script for naming Layer-based Slices after Layers?

Is there a script (PScc) for layer-based slicing in which the slices are named after their associated layers? I've done a lot of searching and it looks like this might have been in older versions of PS but I have not found anything recent.
I don't have much experience with Javascript personally so I'm hoping someone has tackled this before. Thanks in advance!
