Searching for existing scripts..

I have a question.when I open some application's folder (for example garageband)
there is no existing scripts,does that means that some scriptable applications don't have any existing scripts that I can edit?
I saw many sample scripts in some folder somewhere in scripteditor ,but they were few..aren't there many existing scripts of scriptable applications?

The Scripts Menu (when enabled) will place an item in the menu bar that can be used to execute various scripts, but it needs to be set up for the scripts that you want to use. Not all applications will have utility or example scripts, although there are some examples included with the system (for example, in /Library/Scripts/). An application's scripting dictionary, if there is one (open the dictionary from the Script Editor), documents the various script definitions for it, and searching these forums or via Google can provide additional example scripts. There are also several scripting websites, such as http://macscripter.net/ .

Env. variable for sqlPlus to search for sql scripts?

On Oracle 11.2, on win / (or Win 2008 64bit) I would like to start sqlPlus and call some package scripts wich are in $ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin folder..
but I would not like to move to that folder or to call scripts with full filename..
so, is there some environment variable wich tells sqlPlus in wich folder to search for .sql (.plb & other) scripts?
regards,
EDIT: I think it should be something like ORACLE_PATH

Searching for a Script...

I am in the process of making a "Deal or No Deal" type DVD program in DVDSP. I am going to rig it (i.e. the third briefcase has $500 regardless of the case's number) The problem I am running into is that I'm not sure how to "turn off" a case after it has been selected. I've built the money wall and briefcase layout in Photoshop and have each as a diffent layer. Does anyone know a script that allows me to turn off a layer after it has been selected?
I'm running DVDSP 4.1.2 on a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz.
Thanks in advance,
Tom

You will be better off approaching this in a slightly different way. If you have a series of images to use as the boxes, each image showing one less each time, then you can have the user select any of the boxes, randomly assign a value to their choice (track the values you have assigned each time so as not to repeat) and then simply reduce the number of boxes available to choose from. Use standard overlays for the menus and don't try to match the gameplay from the TV version!
You can't control layer visibility for a photoshop layer based menu using scripts.

I searching for a script that ...

... think at an image like a chessboard.
I want track a pen path in the four corner patches and the script should ask me how many patch cointain the chessboard (rows/ columns) and start to average the center of each patch, create an image with rows/columns number of pixels and fill the pixels with the same values of the center of each patch.
Do you know such script?
Thank you
Marco

Sorry, it is not easy for me write in English.
I have yet the image like chessboard: these are color targets with different number of rows/columns. To evaluate them in color management software, it need a one pixel per patch format. So with a pen path I tell to the script where are the patches, in the interface I tell to the script how many rows/columns the target is formed (in my fantasy), and script should filter/average the center of each patch, pick up one pixel from these zones and create a new image with all these pixels.
I have yet a script that make this stuff, but it is limited to 6 x 4 patches (this is the big problem) and it is full of unneeded other controls and alert that slow down the work.
To better understand I have upload here what I mean.
Thank you for help

Searching for existing color palettes in "Color Themes" Illustrator

Unable to seach existing themes in Color Themes panel Illustrator CC. Do I need to somehow save "All themes" from Adobe Color CC?

Hi Diana
Make sure that you are signed in to the CC profile thru the Illustrator preferences. Once you create the themes on the Adobe color site. You should see the themes load into the Theme palette.
Try resetting the preferences to see if that helps. Also try signing out and sign back in to the profile to trigger the themes to sync

Hi,
Use IQueryExpression for searching based on property values
ICollection start = (ICollection)factory.getResource(u2033/documentsu2033, context);
IGenericQueryFactory queryFactory = GenericQueryFactory.getInstance();
IQueryBuilder queryBldr = queryFactory.getQueryBuilder();
IQueryExpression queryExpr =
queryBldr.like(PropertyName.createContentType(), u2033%.jpgu2033).or(
queryBldr.like(PropertyName.createContentType(), u2033%.gifu2033).and(
queryBld.eq(PropertyName.createCreatedBy(), u2033adminu2033)
IGenericQuery query = queryFactory.toGenericQuery(queryExpr);
IResourceList result = query.execute(
start, // the resource to start at
Integer.MAX_VALUE, // maximum depth
Integer.MAX_VALUE, // maximum result size
false // donu2019t include versions
ICollection start = (ICollection)factory.getResource(u2033/documentsu2033, context);
IRepositoryManager repositoryMgr = start.getRepositoryManager();
IPropertySearchManager searchMgr = repositoryMgr.getPropertySearchManager(start);
IQueryBuilder queryBldr = searchMgr.getQueryBuilder();
IQueryExpression queryExpr =
queryBldr.like(PropertyName.createContentType(), u2033%.jpgu2033).or(

Automatic search for new songs on harddrive

I have other mp3 songs on my computer that are not in my i tunes library, i want to add about 300 other songs but the only way i have found that i can do that is to add the songs 3 at a time. how can i make itunes search for existing mp3s on my hard drive like it did when i first installed itunes

The Finder can do this for you.
Just open a Finder window and hit Command-F
Then, in the search bar set the 'Kind' to 'Movie'.
Done. It'll find all the movie files on your disk which you can then organize as you see fit.

IMovie searching for files for project that does not exist...

Whenever I fire up iMovie 09 on Lion, it spins, and then tells me it can't find a video file for a project that does not exist. That is, it says 'File xxx.mov from project 'Movie 1 cannot be found - without this file the movie cannot be played.' The project is one I deleted a long time ago, and does not appear in the project list. How can I force iMovie to forget about this?
Thanks!
PS the specific error is 'Searching for movie data in file "New Project 1 - Large.m4v". The only button is "Stop". so I press that, then a new dialogue box saying 'The movie file 'New Project Large.m4v" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly." It has cancel and search buttons. Obviously, searching doesn't help - it was deleted a long time ago. Cancelling makes it go away until iMovie is launched again.

Whitecity,
This is awesome.
So moving forward from here, you can narrow down which event is causing the behavior but systematically trial and error. Once you determined the exact event folder, there are subfolders underneath:
/iMovie Movie Cache/
/iMovie Stabilization/
/iMovie Thumbnails/
Try removing these to see if iMovie rebuilds them.

Searching for scripts with Spotlight

I decided to ask this question on this forum because AppleScripters are the most likely to search for scripts with Spotlight.
*First, here’s what seems to be the normal behavior of Spotlight:*
If I open the folder “/Users/pierre/Documents/Loisirs/Informatique/Utilisation avancée/AppleScript”, type ⌘F and enter “Kind is Other” and “script” as the search criterion, I get 89 items in the +Searching “AppleScript”+ window.
On the other hand, if I replace the previous criterion with “File extension is scpt”, I get 88 items in the +Searching “AppleScript”+ window, which is normal since one of my scripts is a script bundle, whose extension is “scptd”.
Next, if I open my home folder, type ⌘F again and enter “Kind is Other” and “script” as the search criterion, I get 110 items in the +Searching “pierre”+ window, which again is normal since many of my scripts are outside of my “AppleScript” folder.
*Now, here’s what looks like a bug:*
If I replace the previous criterion with “File extension is scpt” in my home folder, I get only 3 items (instead of 109) in the +Searching “pierre”+ window, which obviously is nonsense.
I have rebuilt permissions and reindexed Spotlight, without any difference.
Any explanation?

Hi Pierre
Not a explanation, but a possible solution, try some of these ideas:::
1) Restart Mac
2) Rebuild the spot light index manually (I no you said you have done this, this is just a path to follow):
a) launch terminal
b) type this sudo mdutil -E /
c) type in your admin password when prompted
d) rebuilding index should commence (could take a while)
3) clear the spot light caches and prefs:
a) download "Yasu" from here and install
http://jimmitchelldesign.com/yasu/
b) enable "Reset System Prefs", "Clear System font Cache", "Clear local font cache", "Clear user font cache"
click ok
c) Restart Mac
4) Kill the SystemUIServer:
a) launch activity monitor, find process "SystemUIServer" highlight then click button quit process
hope this helps

Help! I renamed an existing file in Reader (Mobile) to begin with "." and it disappeared. Unable to search for it. How can I recover it? [iOS]

I was attempting to organize my files in Reader (on iPad) and I tried renaming an existing file to begin with "." in an attempt to put it at the top of my list, so that I could easily find it. It completely diappeared and if I search for it, it doesn't appear. Help!!!

Hi,
A file or folder name starting with '.' ("dot" or "period") is considered hidden on most operating systems. By naming a file starting with '.', you accidentally hid the file and made it inaccessible to all iOS apps.
I'd highly recommend using '_' ("underscore") in the future.
We have already made the change to the new Acrobat DC for iOS app (version 15.0.x) so that it disallows the rename operation with '.' as the first character. (I assume that you are using Adobe Reader for iOS on iOS 7 or older iOS version.)
To recover your hidden file, you need to use a Windows or Mac desktop/laptop computer, install a File Manager app (e.g. iExplorer free demo version, iFunBox), connect your iPad, browse the file system on your iPad, and rename the file back to something else (so that it becomes "visible" again).
The exact steps vary depending on the File Manager app you choose. You may be able to find How-To videos on the software manufacturer's web site or YouTube.
Don't worry. Your hidden file is not permanently lost. You just need to recover it. Good luck!

My intel iMac keeps searching for a drive that doesn't exist.

My intel iMac opens a window saying it cannot find a drive with the IP address of 10.0.1.196 which, ot the best of my knowledge doesn't exist. The address is always the same, even after reprovisioning our entire system from modem to all the computers we have. The window will come up after a restart but before I have our server selected, but it will also pop up at almost any time. When it does, after clicking OK, it will reappear every few seconds for 5-10 times then stop. Very aggrevating because the window puts whatever I am doing in the background and I must click the OK and close the window before proceding with my work. Any way to stop this?

I am not sure that I got the wireless instructions correct. I opened the window to connect to a wireless network and instead of typing in a name I just typed in a dash. This caused my Airport icon to be grayed out. I then rejoined our office network by turning off and then restarting Airport.
For the ethernet connection, I did as instructed and then tested by turning off the Airport on the computer so I was only connected using ethernet.
Neither of these worked and the computer still searches for the same IP address.

Working on a script to search for and move files - need Guru help!

Hi, I'm trying to help my dad with a task and my outdated Applescript knowledge isn't helping me much.
Here's what I need to do in a nutshell:
FolderA contains a bunch of JPG files.
FolderB is the root of a hierarchy of folders containing DNG files.
Each file of FolderA has a mating file (same name but with .DNG) somewhere in the hierarchy of FolderB.
The goal is to move each JPG file from Folder A to the folder containing it's mate.
So, the basic flow is:
1. Get list of files in folderA
2. Looping through list, strip out file name (fileA) and find the DNG file somewhere inside FolderB
3. Get the path of the folder containing the matching DNG file
4. Copy/move FileA to the folder.
5. Loop back to #2
OK, so here's where I am:
tell application "Finder"
set JPEGfolder to "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadA"
set DNGfolder to "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadB"
set a_list to every file in Afolder
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in a_list
-- Everything happens within this loop
set a_file to (item i of a_list)
set fileInfo to info for a_file
set theName to displayed name of fileInfo as string
-- now theName contains the actual file name minus the extension
At this point I don't know how to search for the mating file using Applescript. If I was in UNIX I could do a "find . -name filename" and parse out the path, but I don't know how this works in Applescript.
I think I can figure out how to move the file once I have the path, but the search routine has me stumped for now.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

In my opinion your best bet is to take a 180° turn and simplify things significantly.
Your current approach involves multiple file searches - for each file in the JPEG folder, search all the DNG folders looking for a match. That's an large number of searches, and a large number of something that AppleScript isn't great at.
Instead you'd be far better off walking once through the DNG folders. For each DNG file look for a matching JPG file in the one folder that contains JPEGs. This would be exponentially faster - one walk through the filesystem vs. one walk through the filesystem for every JPEG.
This should give you an idea of what I'm talking about (untested):
global JPEGfolder
on run
set JPEGfolder to alias "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadA"
set DNGfolder to alias "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadB"
processAFolder(DNGfolder)
end run
on processAFolder(theFolder)
tell application "Finder"
repeat with eachItem in folder theFolder
if class of eachItem is file and name extension of eachItem is "dng" then
set basename to characters 1 through -5 of (get name of eachItem)
try
move file (basename & ".jpg") of folder JPEGfolder to folder theFolder
end try
else if class of eachItem is folder then
my processAFolder(eachItem)
end if
end repeat
end tell
end processAFolder
The idea here is that you start off in the top folder and iterate through each item. If the item is a file and it's name extension is DNG then try to move a corresponding file from the JPEG folder to the current folder. This is wrapped in a try block so the script doesn't fail if there is no corresponding JPG.
If the current item is a folder then the script descends into that folder by calling itself.
