Start automatically an action only when another action finish

Hi all,
first, sorry for my bad English....
I am an Italian Architect, I use Photoshop actions mostly to manage many big tiff files.
I try to solve this problem since long time.... but so far I can't..  :-(
This is my problem: I woul'd like to use some actions in sequence launcing only the first one, and when the first finish the second starts automatically, when the second finish, the third starts automatically, and so on.
Example
I have 3 actions and a folder "X" that contain tiff files:
I launch action "A" that resize, colorize, etc tiffs files in folder "X" and put them in a folder "Y"
only WHEN action "A" finish........
action "B" starts and works in folder "Y", grouping logically tiff files in some layerized PSD files and putting them in folder "Z"
only WHEN action "B" finish........
action "C" starts and works on PSD files in folder "Z" doing some "save as" at different resolution in some folders (folder "JPG", folder "PDF", etc)
I hope to explain clearly my problem.
Thanks a lot
Emanuela

Hi Mylenium,
I will try to call existing actions creating a new one (?), but I tell you that I don't understand your question "Does that not give the same result, just only per individual file?"
thanks
Emanuela

  • Start background Job when another is finished (NOT with the JobSteps)

    Hi guys,
    i need your help.
    I've already searched here in forum, but i wasn't able to find a good solution.
    I have this problem.
    I have a program that create a background job with the FM FM JOB_OPEN.. SUBMIT report with parameters .. JOB_CLOSE.
    I want that if i run this report again (20 secs after for example) it does:
    - Check if there is an already running Job with the same name (means with state 'R') (This task is simply, with a select on TBTO table)
    - If it's found, it have to create a new job with the same name that starts automatically AFTER the first running job is finished (don't care about the end-state of the first job).
    I've already tried with pred_jobcount & PRED_JOBNAME parameters of the JOB_CLOSE FM but it doesen't works!
    The JOB_CLOSE, creates a job in Planned state. But when the first Job is finished, the second job(Planned) doesen't start automatically.
    In this scenario, i CANNOT use endless loops (wait until the first job is finished and then submit the second) Job-steps (one job that contains multiple steps) events (i have to start only one job after the predecessor is finished), because this report could be run many times and each job should be collected like a "stack" (only when the first job is finshed the second "registered" should be started and so on, until the aren't more planned jobs).

    Hi Veda
    i can tell u but ... some reward points are very appreciated ....
    I'm joking (of course)
    Here the question:
    I have a program (called A) that submit a new program (called B) with the JOB_OPEN .. submit JOB_CLOSE. The program B should start only if another program B (called before for example) is finished.
    Here the solution.
    I add a parameter (with no-display clausole) to the program B. In this parameter i pass to the program, the job number returned by the JOB_OPEN function. 
    When i create the JOB with the function, the "jobname" parameter is set with value 'G_DELIVERY' (Here u can change the name of the job as u want : this is the jobname that u see in SM37 transaction).
    In the start-of-selection of program B i put a "waiting" procedure like this :
    First i save a timestamp of system-date and system-time (called for example r_date and r_time)
    select from table TBTCO all the jobs called "G_DELIVERY" with jobnumber <> from the jobnumber parameter (that means exclude itselfs)  with status running ('R')  -> that have startdate /starttime less than the r_date and r_time <- (this is the key of the selection that solve the problem).
    if it is found (means there is another running job started before this one).
    wait up to 60 seconds. "for example
    repeat the selection.
    endif.
    When the job called before ends, this one programs exits from the loop and continues. If u submit more programs "B", they'll works like a stack.
    I should say to u just one thing.... I solved my problem in another way (because i've changed the logic so this problem was no more) so i didn't implemented that logic, but it should works very good.
    Try it and tell me!
    Bye

  • How to automate and action only when a specifi event takes place ?

    E.g. I want to have a workflow that launches specific applications only when Network manager detects a conection to the internet. Is that possible

    Never mind

  • Workflow does not start automatically on create item (yet another time)

    The topic has been discussed broadly throughout different forums, but I didn't find the solution to my issue yet and hope you can help me out with ideas to sidestep the difficulties created by Microsoft.
    I have one list 1 in Site Collection A, and one list 2 in Site Collection B (PWA site collection). I need to copy an item from list 1 to list 2 with some values. I use a "Call http web service" action to accomplish
    that as I need to copy informatin cross site collections.
    The "Call webservice" is in an App Step, because the user creating an item in list 1 does not have permissions on list 2. Thus, my item is created "by workflow" (not "by System Account") in list 2. Now I need a second
    workflow to start on list 2 which will create a project in Project Server.
    As I am working across 2 site collections, I can not use a SharePoint 2010 workflow with impersonation step for list 1 as the "Call a webservice" action is not available for SP2010 workflows and "Copy item" only works in the same site.
    In Nintex I can impersonate the web service call - is this also somehow possible for SPD2013 workflows? Or is there any other possibility to get over this silly restriction of workflows not starting automatically on System account created items? Someway
    perhaps to tweak the App Step in impersonating with another user account?
    Any help appreciated!
    I really can't understand, that this common requirement is still not solved by Microsoft :-(  I found more threads on the topic than I can count, so this seems to happen quite often... at least they should finally offer a proper way of doing some kind
    of impersonation with the calls so we have a chance to change the creating user account.

    Hi,
    As I understand, you would like to use workflow to copy list items cross site collection.
    So far it is not supported with OOB workflow option, here is an codeplex workaround:

  • ITunes 10., dont starts automaticly & video-podcasts only sound works ???

    Upgrading to iTunes 10.1 on my MBP (MacOS 10.6.5) i got two problems:
    first, itunes dont starts automaticly anymmore, when connecting iPhone 3GS(iOS 4.2.1). Starting Itunes manually, iPhone-sync starts and works well??? The "dont sync automaticly"-button in iTunes setup is not set!
    sec.: iTunes 10.1 dont play videopodcasts anymore. Only sound is o.k. The podast itself is o.k.and vissibale with other tools and after syncing, iPhone shows them, too.
    Any Tips?
    greetings to all
    A. Gehrmann

    Mine did something very similar - when I tried to search, I got a message saying that it couldn't contact the iTunes Store. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and afterwards it worked, but the fix might have had nothing to do with that uninstall/reinstall. I wasn't able to contact the iTunes Store through my iPod either, and that didn't work for a while even after the reinstall. Then eventually it ran correctly as well.
    I'm inclined to believe that there was something wrong at iTunes, not on my end. Have you tried again recently? Hopefully it'll be working again, like mine is.

  • Have Image Restore only when another object is selected

    I have a menu of images at the top. When the mouse rolls over
    them a new layer appears on the page according to which logo was
    rolled over. When the mouse rolls over the image(s) i want Two
    things to happen 1) Image changes from gray scale to color (easy,
    rollover image) but 2) I want the image to remain color even when
    the mouse is not over it and only change back to gray scale when
    another image at the top is rolled over. Currently the image will
    only stay color when the mouse is over it. I need the corresponding
    image to remain in color when its layer is in view. I have thought
    of a few ways to do this with putting each image in a layer but i
    want an easier way. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Is this possible? Am I clear on what i want?

  • How to add actions only when the stage playhead passes a label/certain time?

    I have an animation that is 2 seconds long. On the 1 sec mark there is sym.stop(); and a label called 'in'. At the 2 sec mark there is another sym.stop();
    So what I want to happen is for the animation to play up until 'in', then on mouseenter for the stage have sym.play();, and on mouseleave sym.playReverse();. This will make it so that only the second half of the animation will get played on mouseenter/leave.
    My problem is that the mouseenter/leave also gets applied to the first half of the animation, not allowing the second half to animate if the user mouses over during the first half. I know this requires an if statement but I don't know how to write it. So it would be something like this: if the playhead reaches 'in', apply mouseenter/leave actions.

    yes, I am. By the way I've found the solution. Someone might find this usefull.
    In design.xml having
    <component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput"/>
    use this
    <component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput">
            <defaultAttribute name="text" value="ExtendedTextInput"/>
        </component>
    so when adding this component to design view, it will have text setted to value ('ExtendedTextInput' in this case).

  • 1. Does not start automatically  2. Only ONE user at a time

    When I plug the IPOD it should start iTunes automatically (I have the box checked) but it does not. Never has done that. I have the latest 7.1 version.
    Another pain in the rear is that only one user at a time can run iTunes. That stinks. If another user has it open you MUST log off, stop them, log on. They ought to make this work for all users as other windows pro rams do. If it is doing NOTHING with the library then I ought to be able to use it.

    That may be true but it is a real pain since when it happens the only way to recover is to terminate all of the iTunes modules with task manager and start it manually. It also leaves the IPOD in a state that says do not disconnect. You can disconnect since nothing is really happening but there is no excuse for this not to start much faster. When you have multiple users it is a real pain. It ought to be able to either end when finished or better yet allow multiple users simultaneously updating from different libraries.
    I guess i will just have to get in the habit of treating it as a single user and start and stop it every time I need it and be suer not to let it run. Not nice because that means waiting for larger Podcast downloads instead of having there ready for me when I sign on my computer.

  • Why does standby start automatically in read only and not in mount?

    hi there,
    running 10.2.0.4 EE on windows 2008
    i have the problem that when starting the windows servcie for the standby database, the db automatically runs into the read only mode and NOT as desired in the mout state
    only if I am starting the standby like following:
    STARTUP NOMOUNT;
    ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE
    I will get my desired result.
    what do I have to configure in order that restarting the windows service (or only make a startup on the sqlplus prompt...) will bring up the standby in mount state?
    thanks in advance
    stefan

    This is the expected behaviour. In 10g , if we invoke startup on a standby database, it automatically opens the database in READ ONLY mode. Not tested the same on other versions. You may want to use -STARTMODE option with oradim to set the instance startup to manual and bring it up manually every time.

  • Photoshop working, but not registering latest actions/commands until another action.

    Version - CS6
    OS - Windows 8
    My photoshop will not register/display my last actions or commands (brush strokes, hide layer etc.) unless I input another command like Fullscreen - it's basically skipping my first input and not showing it until the next input [but for some reason no matter how many brush strokes I put down, it won't display them until a totally different command is used]
    It's not freezing, it's not crashing, it's just not displaying my last actions - I'm trying to render over a sketch and it won't show my brush/eraser strokes until I toggle Fullscreen.
    I already tried re-installing and resetting the preferences to no avail, if anyone has a solution to this I would appreciate it immensely.
