Scripting or automation in PSE6

I just upgraded to PSE6 on Windows Vista and am looking for a way to do scripting of commands. I have a series of underwater pictures that need the same color adjustment and would just like to run a script to do so. I noticed there is an "Automation Tool" under the file menu but it is grayed out.
Regards,
Bob

I have a white paper on running actions in Elements on my hiddenelements.com website, but you will need either actions written for Elements or access to Photoshop (at work, friend, etc. -- perhaps using a trial version) so you can record actions to run.
However, it isn't quite the same as scripting.

  • Can Apple Script or Automator handle large client email tasks?

    Hi,
    I am a relatively new Mac user but currently work on a MacBook and Imac G5 with 10.4.9. I have a client list of approxamitely 900 people and I want to send an email to all 900 announcing a change in product services. Is there an Apple Script or automator script (or somewhere I could go to purchase one) that will allow me to import my name and email list in .csv or excel format and then send a slightly customized email to all. I just want the subject line and greeting to the email to include their first name so it looks as if I have taken the time to send them a personal email.
    Can anyone steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Here's a script to disable a rule" --> tell application "Mail" to set enabled of rule "weekend message" to false
    Change "weekend message" by the exact name of your rule.
    Make an (iCal Events or Launch agent PLIST or cron) to run the script on Monday at a specific time.

  • I want to write a script or Automator workflow/app that emails a random shortcut of the day to three recipients. The source is from an Excel spreadsheet. One column is the shortcut, and the second column is the definition. Anyone have experience?

    I want to write a script or Automator workflow/app that automatically emails a random shortcut of the day to three recipients. The source is from an Excel spreadsheet. One column is the shortcut, and the second column is the definition. Anyone have similar experience and know that this would work?

    I have had a first stab at the script, below.  It uses a file to store the shortcuts and command [descriptions].  You should be able to see from the script annotations how to add a new one.  (I populated 1-4 with real data, but got lazy after that, so you have a few placeholders to work with first.
    As I have noted, once you are happy that you have all the data in the file, you can comment out part of the script for ongoing use.  (BTW, my reluctance to use Excel is that I don't currently have it installed and I don't want to offer wrong advice.  If you have Numbers, I do have that and could probably modify to work with a spreadsheet from there.  This might be especially useful if you have the data already sitting in Excel.)
    A few things came-up whilist I was writing the script:
    1.     Currently, all recipients will not only get the same tip at the same time, but they will see the names and email addresses of the others who receive them.  It is possible to modify this.
    2.     I have added a property gRandomCheck which keeps track of which shortcut has already been used (since the last time the script was compiled.  This will prevent the same tip being sent more than once.    When all tips have been sent once, the script will alert you and not send anything until reset.  It does not check on a per-addressee basis (which would be a refinement).  (If you add a new addressee at this stage, the whole process will start again, and you may not really want this to be the behaviour.)
    3.     The way that I have built the list, commandList, is deliberately cumbersome - it's for the sake of clarity.  If you prefer, you can construct the whole list as {{shortcut:"X", command:"X"}, {shortcut:"Y", command:"Y"}}
    Have a look - I am sure you will have questions!
    SCRIPT STARTS HERE  Paste the following lines (thru the end) into a new AppleScript Editor document and press RUN
    --The property gRandomCheck persists between runs and is used to stop sending the same hint twice.
    property gRandomCheck : {}
    --I am defining a file on the desktop.  It doesn't have to be in this location

    --Follow this format and enter as many records as you like on a new line - each with a unique name
    set record1 to {shortcut:"Z", command:"Undo"}

  • Script or automator to auto-log into wireless network?

    Is it possible to write a script or automator action to automatically log into a wireless network? I'd like to run this at startup to auto connect to a wireless access point.
    Thanks!

    I'm certainly no expert on this topic, but...doesn't your computer already do this automatically? Mine certainly does.
    In your System Preferences, click on the "Network" pane, then click on "Airport" on the left column, then make sure the "Ask to join new networks" click-box is checked. When it is, you will see this text below it:
    "Known networks will be joined automatically. If no known networks are available, you will be asked before joining a new network."
    Final step: Now click the "Advanced" button at the bottom of the Network pane, and make sure "Remember networks this computer has joined" box is checked. That is essential! Then close the System Preferences window. Done!
    Henceforth, each time you encounter a hitherto as-yet unknown network for the first time, you will be asked before joining it. But once you have joined it, even only once, you will never be asked again! The computer will automatically rejoin any previously recognized wireless network you encounter.
    One final detail: if you find yourself in a cloud of two or more overlapping wireless hotspots simultaneously, and the computer is not joining the one you prefer, then go back to that "Advanced" button in the Network pane, and rearrange the list of remembered Networks to have the one you prefer at the top. Then the computer will always join that one first, if it is available.
    This is how I have my computer set up, and each time I restart or log on at home, it instantly and without asking automatically joins my home wireless network -- I'm not even conscious of it happening. By the time I sit down and launch Safari or Mail, I'm already online with no actions having been taken on my part. And if I find myself in my favorite cafe, I open my MacBook and it instantly and automatically joins the cafe's network, without asking, since my home network is now out of reach and the cafe's network is the second-highest on my priority list and thus the highest among available detected remembered Networks.
    Hope this answers your problem. If you instead were seeking a different answer to a slightly different problem, then please re-clarify! Hopefully then someone who's more of an expert in Networks can answer it.

  • Add a script to Automator's actions, or add an action to Automator's librar

    Total Applescript newbie here. My end goal is to write a script or automator that automatically trims 10 seconds off selected podcasts.
    I know that Doug's Applescript website has something along those lines, but it's not truly automatic.
    What I'd really like to do is attach a folder action so that as soon as they download the end credits are trimmed.
    With automator, it's easy enough to get the finder items in the folder, and pass them to the Set iTunes Info library action, but the Start and End times of iTunes tracks aren't in there.
    I tried to edit the actual script that that calls, but it's not-editable.
    I tried to edit Doug's script, but I can't figure out how to tell it to pick a file from a folder as the selected track to edit.
    I was thinking of an automator action that basically goes along these lines:
    Get Specified Finder Items (preselecting the download folder the podcasts are dumped to)
    Get Folder Contents
    Run this script. (but this is where I can't figure out how to run a script and use the results from the last two automator actions)
    Any ideas appreciated, or suggestion on how to just go pure Applescript on the task. I know the Applescript would read something along the lines of:
    Tell application Finder
    get the folder contents?
    maybe set the file name or track name as a variable
    Tell application iTunes
    Set start of selected file/track to 15

    Ah, you've made me a happy man this evening. I missed the Run AppleScript action in Automator, but knew there had to be a way to do something like that.
    Your particular script doesn't function, it gives an unknown error on completion, but I was able to modify a Doug's AppleScript that lets you trim start or finish on items you manually select and use it as you suggested.
    So here's what I ended up doing.
    Automator Action which is saved as a plug-in to the Folder Actions for the folder for the Podcasts I want to trim. The Automator action reads as follows:
    *Find Sources in iTunes*
    -Find Songs Whose Album Contains MyPodcast
    *Get Selected iTunes items*
    -it's pulling all tracks in that folder, which is fine
    *Filter Sources in iTunes items*
    (I had to do this because before I added this step my selected podcasts showed up in results, but so did any item I had highlighted (such as the current playing track) in the results, and was passed to the final action)
    *Run AppleScript*
    <pre style="font-family:Monaco, monospace;border:2px inset #99f;overflow:auto;width:500px;padding:.5em;color:#000;background:#ccf;">
    on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "iTunes"
    set trackers to input
    repeat with theTrack in trackers
    set start of theTrack to 11
    set finish of theTrack to ((get finish of theTrack) - 18)
    end repeat
    end tell
    return input
    end run</pre>
    There's probably a more elegant way to do this, and faster, as this one takes several seconds to go through the entire iTunes library each time it's ran. That's why I was trying to pass the folder contents directly to the set info action. It's kind of annoying that the built-in Automator action for this is limited on the info items it sets. It would be really cool if Apple didn't make those scripts non-editable. I could have learned exactly what I was after just by picking apart their script.
    Anyways, my motivation for this was partly to learn, but inspired from a particular podcast from a local public radio station that I listen to where they bracket the beginning and end of the podcast with the typical "please donate" stuff. Normally I don't mind a short pre-roll or pledge request, but this particular one the woman has such an annoying voice, it's like fingernails on chalkboard to me, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered spending hours trying to learn how to do this to save 30 seconds of listening on a weekly podcast. LOL.
    Thanks again for your pointer, I'll probably play with this some more if anyone else wants to chime in on better methods, but I'll mark it as answered as it did point me to a working solution.

  • Writing commands to get specific data channels in the output report via script or automated script generation..

    In my project I have to make certain calculation and then get the data plotted in the given report template. I am using automated script for this. My script is doing all the calculations and then it not selecting and drag-dropping the selected channels on the report template. Its saving the blank report template.
    I am struggling to get the data for specific channels plotted by using the script. I need the selected channels to be plotted on this report template and then get it saved.
    Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi LaxG,
    Brad is absolute right. It is possible to create your whole layout via script.
    If you have loaded  the example report layout you can copy these lines to create a new line in your plot. This is the recommended object oriented way.
    call Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Add(e2DShapeLine, "anyName")
    Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape.XChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Zeit"
    Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape.YChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Geschwindigkeit"
    For performance reasons it's recommended to use the it like this.
    dim oLine
    set oLine = Report.Sheets("Blatt 1").Objects("2D-Axis1").Curves2D.Item("anyName").Shape
    oLine.XChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Zeit"
    oLine.YChannel.Reference               = "[1]/Geschwindigkeit"
    Like Brad mentioned it is much easier, that you have a stored template of your report with all setings and customisations already done.
    You open this layout file and have stored the names of your calculated channels. When you are doing this with a script they always have the same name and belong to the same group.
    Now you can customize the references of the line items.

  • Duplicate Text From Shell Script in Automator

    I'm trying to run a automator script that allows me to select a couple of files, run a sha1 checksum, and output a text file. My current version works 100% within the automator app, however when I use it as a context menu service, it outputs duplicate text. Here's my current workflow and what it outputs.
    Get Selected Folder Items
    Run Shell Script
    Copy to Clipboard (I've tried "new text file", and "new textedit file" as well)
    Outputs:
    SHA1(~/Desktop/Actions/Test/TEST.atn)= 88902acfb51e0f9a0c6dbedce69ce9618e26bc00
    SHA1(~/Desktop/Actions/Test/TEST.atn)= 88902acfb51e0f9a0c6dbedce69ce9618e26bc00
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Snow Leopard's Services workflow is automatically passed the type of selected items (that is what the selections at the top of workflow window are for), so just remove the *Get Selected Finder Items* action, since that is having the result of doubling the input items.

  • Bridge and PS not communicating with scripts and automation.

    CS4 PS and Bridge is not communicating correctly.
    When opening an image from Bridge it opens whiteout any issues but when choosing Tools and PS and any form of automation or script it will not open and start the requested action.
    Then when choosing same or another action from the tools/PS menu I get the message that PS is currently busy processing another task and it asks me if I wish to cue the action.
    There is no difference if I chose cue or stop after this since nothing is happening how ever long I wait.
    If PS is not started it will start up the application but nothing more after that. I have reinstalled and repaired permissions both after and before.
    A colleague who also using PS CS4 is having the same hardware and is not having the same problem so I guess I am having a problem with some form of configuration.
    CS3 is working correctly on the same machine and is having no issues at all.
    Config is Macbook Pro 2.33Ghz 2gb ram OS 10.5.5 whit all the latest updates.
    TIA for you help or crazy ideas.
    Sven

    As I wrote above I have already repaired the permissions but I have also rebooted several times, I have done that before and after installs and removals off the application and I used the Adobe script CS4 cleaner script to completely remove the apps.
    The applications are all installed on their default locations and has not been moved at all and no names has been changed.
    Does anybody know any more thorough way of removing all settings and preferences for CS4 then that script.
    Maybe there are some remaining settings somewhere that I have not been able to remove.
    Are there any sort of total remover of selected adobe apps rather then having to remove all adobe stuff on the machine that is more that can do more then that script.

  • Please help!! Using Apple Script in Automator for Quicktime

    tell application "Finder" to set new_item to (path to desktop as string) & fname
    save self contained document 1 in new_item
    delay 1
    close document 1
    end tell
    end repeat
    end tell
    end run
    </pre>
    the above will dump the modified files onto your desktop and give them the same names they had before. You can adjust that as you like of course.

  • Adding a perl script to automator

    Hi
    I have a script that do a search and replace in a file in Perl. This script work just fine when executed from the command line, but in automator it result in an empty file.
    Any idea?
    Eventually I want to replace the $file variable with the arguments passed from previous actions, but for now I'm "in debug mode" only.
    Here is the basic of the script:
    my $file="full Unix path to file";
    my $search="that text";
    my $replace="this text";
    my @contents;
    open (F, $file) || die "Can't open - $!\n";
    @File = <F>;
    close (F);
    open (F, ">$file") || die "Can't open - $!\n";
    for (@File) {
    s/$search/$replace/g;
    push(@contents,$_);
    # Go to the beginning of the file
    seek(F,0,0);
    # Update the contents with the data from our array
    print F (@contents);
    close(F);

    Hi,
    It looks like the script action for Perl in Automator is buggy...
    - First, when I select perl in the shell selection, save the workflow, close it then reopen it, the revert back to bash! This cannot work for sure for Perl...
    - Also, from what I can see in the debug tests I made, that is the push command that does not work correctly. Instead of pushing the value of $_ (current file line in this case) it add blank (nothing) to the $contents variable. That's why the file goes empty at the end.
    So that's really a bug in Automator, as I cannot see any other reason, the scrpt works well in standalone mode (from terminal).

  • How to Make a "show hidden items" script in Automator

    I would like to make an Automator application that i can launch to show hiddden files, then another one to launch to hide them again. I tried using the shell script option, with this in it:
    defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    then I typed this in the next box:
    killall Dock
    It only killalled the dock, no hidden items shown.

    Simpler to just create an AppleScript application, put it onto the Dock, and then just click on it. It's a toggle: unhides on one click and hides on another. This is what I use:
    try
              do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles"
    on error
              do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
    end try
    if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is equal to "0" then
              do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
    else
              do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
    end if
    do shell script "killall Finder"

  • Can't enter shell scripts in Automator?

    When adding the "Run Shell Script" action to a workflow in Automator, I can't actually type anything in the text box -- when I try to type something, I just get a bunch of seemingly random characters. Does anyone else see the same behaviour or is there just something funky going on with my two Macs?
    I'm certain I'd be able to create a couple of services for encrypting/decrypting messages in Mail with GPG, if only I could actually type the shell script into Automator
