The action "filter finder items" encountered an error

I am trying to run an AutoMator script and keep getting this error.   I've read some links on this site, one of which said to open up Spotlight and make sure the file I am trying to open exists.  It does Not.  This is an .indd file (Acrobat Indesign).  It is not in the Spotlight list of apps.  How do I add it?   

After some more troubleshooting, I figured my problem statement is incorrect. Here is what seems to be the right one:
I was using 2 filter expressions on the filter action: Extension is mp4 or extension = mkv. This always resulted on the error.
But when I use only one expression (filer only one file extension) it works fine as long as there is only one file with that extension on the folder being analysed...
For example, if have 2 mp4 files, I get the error...
Any hints?
Thanks.

    this simple workflow works ok as a workflow, but when saves as a service it fails. If I run the service inside of Automator it works. Anyone know why this might be failing when ran from the Finder's contextual menu?

  • Automator Filter Finder Items

    A very simple task, which I have attempted to figure out many times over the last few months; but my repeated attempts haven't been successful. This should be easy for someone to resolve…
    I would like to strip out all the files of a certain extension (.txt) from an hierarchy of nested folders, & move them to the Trash. (Told you it was easy!)
    Here's what I think ought to work:
    • Create an Automator Workflow
    • 'Ask for Finder Items' to select the topmost folder
    • 'Get Folder Contents' with 'Repeat for each subfolder found' — (the results successfully include all the relevant files)
    • 'Filter Finder Items': "find files where any of the following are true: file extension is .txt" — (I tried "txt" as well as ".txt")
    • 'Move Finder Items to Trash'.
    The files turn up (alongside loads of other junk) in the 'Get Folder Contents' step, & they are reported in the results; but when I try to filter out everything apart from the .txt files, so that only the .txt files remain, the filter reports no results.
    So the 'Filter Finder Items' action completes with no results, & with a warning that: The action “Move Finder Items to Trash” was not supplied with the required data.
    I think it must be something obvious, but I can't figure it out, & although I've searched extensively online, everyone else with similar problems has other complications which get resolved… so they lose interest just at the point where I think they're going to reveal the solution.

    You need to understand the issues here. Automator was released with 10.4 (Tiger), and many of the core automator actions date from that time.  This introduces forward-compatability problems: things that should work (and maybe did work) in 10.4 might not work as specified in 10.6, depending on if/how the underlying cocoa APIs have changed.  Now, in the best of all possible worlds, Apple would update automator actions with each new upgrade, but it's probably not needed for the bulk of the actions, and Apple may not be aware of problems that do exist with given actions (that depends on whether people filed meaningful bug reports on them).
    Don't be confused by the seeming simplicity of what I did: the Move Finder Items to Trash action probably uses cocoa file system APIs directly, whereas my applescript leverages the developed programmatic underpinnings of the Finder - the Finder has a built-in system for moving files in bulk, whereas the action is obviously moving files one at a time (which is where things are getting congested).
    Filter Finder Items seems to be a simple metadata search (just another use of the spotlight framework, which hasn't changed much since its inception) so I can't see any way in which it would fail.  it is, of course, limited by the same things that spotlight is limited by - it won't find material that's not indexed and may not do exactly what one always expects (e.g., may not recognize an extension as an extension unless the extension belongs to an app registered with the system) but other than that there's very little it can do wrong.  As a general rule, actions that deal only with manipulating automator data (e.g. modifying references passed from one action to the next) won't break.  You'll only see breakage with actions that need to access exterior frameworks that have changed significantly since the actions were created. 
    That's the best answer you're going to get: one can't prove a negative, so there's no way to demonstrate that FFI isn't broken.  it's easy enough to check for a given task, though - just run the workflow you have on a test folder without the deleting action, check the results window, and compare it to the results you expect (which you can gather by eye in a Finder search window, through an applescript, through an app that will report the number of files of given types in a folder…). 

  • "Filter Finder Items" not working properly

    I'm taking my first crack at Automator, and while I've made good progress, one of the built-in actions, "Filter Finder Items", is just not behaving predictably. Basically, I'm doing the following:
    1) Get selected finder items - pulls a selected folder
    2) Set variable - this gives me a variable for the name of the folder we're working with
    3) Create a new folder inside the selected folder
    4) Get folder contents of selected folder
    5) Filter for three different file extensions - here's where my problem starts
    6) Move the filtered files into the new subfolder (though it really seems to be copying, which necessitates the following steps to get rid of the original files)
    7) Get contents of selected folder again
    8) Filter on the same three files extensions - this time it works properly
    9) Move filtered files to Trash
    For some reason, the first filter action doesn't seem to be working at all - if I have 15 files in the selected folder, but only three that match the filter, all 15 will be copied to the new subfolder. The second folder action will then, inexplicably, work exactly as it should and move the proper files to the Trash.
    Does anybody know why this action doesn't want to cooperate? Has anybody else seen something similar?
    Thanks for any hints/help.

    Saving the workflow as an application should be all that is needed, but the first action (the one that gets the items to work with) may not be correct for your usage. If the first action is *Get Selected Finder Items*, unfortunately the selection would be the application itself, since that is what was most recently selected.
    In this case, the application can be dragged onto the Finder's toolbar (where it will work with the current selection), otherwise the first action can be removed and the application used as a droplet (items dropped onto the application are passed to the workflow) or a Finder plugin.
    The first action can also be replaced with an *Ask for Finder Items* action (ignoring input).

  • Folder Action + Move Finder Items = Zero KB files

    I've got a folder action set that is supposed to run the Automator Action "Move Finder Items" on any file that gets placed in a specific folder (called "Folder A") and move it to "Folder B". I'm having an issue with larger files though.
    As soon as I begin to transfer the file to "folder A" , the folder action runs and results in a "Zero KB" file in "Folder B".
    Is there any way to keep the Folder Action from triggering until the file has completely copied to the folder with the Folder Action attached ("Folder A")?
    A side note: I have this same folder action running on an iMac with Mac OS 10.6.3 and it works great . (This one was made with the newer version of Automator that shipped with 10.6 vs. Automator on 10.5 which made the action I am having trouble with)
    Any input would be appreciated!

    There is a check in *Snow Leopard* to see if the items have completed their copy/download, but Leopard does not do any checking - the script is triggered immediately. You can add your own delay with a *Run AppleScript* action, though, for example:
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    font-weight: normal;
    margin: 0px;

    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px; height: 340px;
    color: #000000;

    set theFolders to {} -- to handle items in different folders
    set skippedItems to {}
    repeat with anItem in the input -- get a list of unique folders
    tell application "Finder"
    get (container of anItem) as alias
    if the result is not in theFolders then set the end of theFolders to the result
    end tell
    end repeat
    repeat with aFolder in theFolders
    set timeToWait to 30 -- time to wait for copy to complete
    set interval to 2 -- test every interval seconds
    set copied to false
    tell application "Finder" to set currentSize to size of aFolder -- get initial size
    repeat with timer from timeToWait to 1 by -interval -- check every interval seconds up to maximum time
    delay interval
    tell application "Finder" to set newSize to size of aFolder -- recheck size
    if (newSize is equal to currentSize) then
    set copied to true
    exit repeat -- success
    else -- update size
    set currentSize to newSize
    end if
    end repeat
    if not copied then set the end of skippedItems to quoted form of (aFolder as text) -- timed out
    end repeat
    showSkippedAlert for skippedItems
    return input
    end run
    to showSkippedAlert for skippedItems
    show an alert dialog for any items skipped, with the option to cancel the rest of the workflow
    parameters - skippedItems [list]: the items skipped
    returns nothing
    if skippedItems is not {} then
    set {alertText, theCount} to {"Error with waiting for items to copy", count skippedItems}
    if theCount is greater than 1 then
    set theMessage to (theCount as text) & space & " folders timed out"
    else
    set theMessage to "1 folder timed out"
    end if
    set theMessage to theMessage & " - copy of contents may be incomplete:"
    set {tempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, return}
    set {skippedItems, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {skippedItems as text, tempTID}
    if button returned of (display alert alertText message (theMessage & return & skippedItems) alternate button "Cancel" default button "OK") is "Cancel" then error number -128
    end if
    return
    end showSkippedAlert
    </pre>
    The action will check the folder sizes, and when there is no change (or the wait times out) the input items are passed on.

  • Automator - Filter Finder Items bug?

    I've only started using Automator a few months ago, but now I ran into a problem, which I think is not my fault, but is a bug in Automator.
    Here's the scenario:
    What I have is a Folder Action on the Downloads folder, and the following list of actions in order:
    Get Finder Items: how.i.met.your.mother.s04e05.srt (this is for testing purposes)
    Filter Finder Items - if ANY of the following are true:
    Name contains "big.bang.theory"
    Name contains "how.i.met.your.mother"
    Name contains "fringe"
    etc
    I managed to find out that the same kind of container (here: Name) could not be used multiple times, because it gives no result in case "Any" of them are true. There is no way to test if any of these strings are present in the file name. I thought I could use this action like a function with "OR"-separated boolean parameters, but apparently that only works if I change the container type, e.g. I use Kind instead of Name. Meaning, if there is only one Name container, then it outputs the correct result (the .srt file, if the statement is true).
    So, did I do something wrong, or is this really a bug in Automator? If you have an alternate suggestion on how to solve this, please don't hold it back

    I have the same problem.
    I am trying to select ANY of the following extentions: JPG, PNG, TIFF and I get no output. While if I only select one extention I do get the right output for the extention selected.
    ANY of the following are true
                   File extention          is          JPG
                   File extention          is          PNG
                   File extention          is          TIFF
         ~~~no results produced~~~
    ANY of the following are true
                   File extention          is          JPG
         ~~~001.JPG, 002.JPG, etc..~~~

  • Filter finder Items... broken? (also request to help streamline script)

    Let me begin by saying that I've done the SAME THING for a long time with this Automator script, and it's worked flawlessly. I recently added some now automator actions (and later deleted them) thinking they were the culprit of why my "filter finder items" was showing no results, but I'm not sure at all at this point.
    Here's the script (that has been working fine until at least the 7th):
    It's long, so bear with me (I use this script to install custom Sims2 content when I download it:
    ("Get Specified Folder" uses the "Get specified finder items" action, I just didn't want to type that every time).
    New Folder: Recent (in my downloads folder)
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents (repeat for each subfolder found)
    Filter finder items (name contains .package)
    Copy Finder items (to Recent)
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents (repeat for each subfolder found)
    Filter finder items (name contains Sims2Pack)
    Move finder itmes (to my core download folder (they're generally in subfolders after downloading, as are the .package files)
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents (repeat for each subfolder found)
    Filter finder items (name contains Sims2Pack)
    Copy finder items (to Recent)
    Get Specified Folder: Recent
    Create Archive (on desktop named Sims2)
    Rename (add date to end of file name)
    Rename (add time to end of file name)
    Get Specified Folder: Recent
    Move to trash
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents (repeat for each subfolder found)
    Filter finder items (name contains .package)
    Move finder items (to Sims2 Downloads folder, which installs the custom content, replacing any repeats)
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents
    Filter finder items (name contains Sims2Pack)
    Move Finder items (Sims 2 Packs folder within the downloads folder... these items must be installed into the game by double-clicking on them.)
    Get Specified folder: Desktop
    Get folder contents
    Filter finder items (name contains Sims2)
    Move Finder items (To Backup)
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents (repeat for each subfolder found)
    Filter finder items (name contains MTS (most of the containing download folders (after they've been expanded by another automator script, have this at the beginning of the folder name due to where I commonly download my custom content)
    Move to trash
    And that concludes the script. I know it could probably be streamlined (another reason I'm posting the whole thing) but it worked until very recently, and I don't know what could cause it to no longer report results after filtering within the subfolders while within the main folder works fine.
    To clarify, it's recently been simply deleting the MTS folders and creating a "Recent" folder and archiving it but it's empty. So the script is not filtering for the Sims2Pack data nor the .package data as it used to.
    I haven't modified the script, and I've deleted all actions that I downloaded recently (backed them up in case they're not the culprit). Also ran disk permission repair but nothing was repaired in regards to Automator.
    Thanks.
    iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Here is an update to the script, however filter continue to not work as it once did.
    New Folder: Recent (in my downloads folder)
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents (repeat for each subfolder found)
    Filter finder items (name contains .package)
    Copy Finder items (to Recent)
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents (repeat for each subfolder found)
    Filter finder items (name contains Sims2Pack)
    Move finder itmes (to my core download folder (they're generally in subfolders after downloading, as are the .package files)
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents (repeat for each subfolder found)
    Filter finder items (name contains Sims2Pack)
    Copy finder items (to Recent)
    Get Specified Folder: Recent
    Create Archive (on in "to backup" named Sims2)
    Rename (add date to end of file name)
    Rename (add time to end of file name)
    Get Specified Folder: Recent
    Move to trash
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents (repeat for each subfolder found)
    Filter finder items (name contains .package)
    Move finder items (to Sims2 Downloads folder, which installs the custom content, replacing any repeats)
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents
    Filter finder items (name contains Sims2Pack)
    Move Finder items (Sims 2 Packs folder within the downloads folder... these items must be installed into the game by double-clicking on them.)
    Get Specified Folder: my downloads folder
    Get folder contents (repeat for each subfolder found)
    Filter finder items (name contains MTS (most of the containing download folders (after they've been expanded by another automator script, have this at the beginning of the folder name due to where I commonly download my custom content)
    Move to trash
    I removed the step where it was saving it to the desktop. If the filters ever work again, this should therefore go faster than before.

  • Is there a bug in Automator filter finder items?

    I'm trying to do a batch processing script and there seems to be a bug with items created earlier in the script.  For example, the 2brokegirls.jpg file was created earlier in the script and added to the main folder whose contents can be seen in the get folder contents action at the top.  however, the filter finder items misses that item when filtering by the extension ".jpg" which as you can see obviously appears at the top.  Is this a bug in Automator?  My guess is that the filter is using some spotlight indexing and that index hasn't been updated since the file was just added.  Does anyone know of a workaround?
    Thanks.

  • 'Filter finder items' by variable

    Hi,
    Is this just a flaw in Automator or am I being a n00b? All I want is to filter finder items (name) by a variable set earlier in the action. This should be a gimme, right? Wrong. No worky.
    Anyone know why / how to get this working ?
    thanks in advance

    An action needs to be written to use variables (specifically, a different kind of text field is used), and not all do. Several of Apple's actions are from a time before variables, so they probably just haven't been updated to use them yet.
    You might check out this macosxhints article, but it doesn't always work.

  • Automator's Filter Finder Items behaves incorrectly

    Can anyone confirm the misbehaviour of the Filter Finder Items in Automator when set to filter items whose date created is not in the last 7 days?  I have a workflow being used as a folder action to keep my downloads folder tidy but never runs right as it gets rid of content that I've just downloaded.
    Link to workflow: http://cl.ly/1S0h1I3m3r1t3l2a1W1J
    Insight would be appreciated.

    The only reliable way to do that would be to take an inventory of the filesystem, and compare it with an earlier inventory. I don't know of any easy way to do that with built-in tools. If you use Time Machine, there are third-party tools such as BackupLoupe that compare snapshots. Or you could try something like Uninstaller, though it's quirky and doesn't seem to be maintained much anymore.
    At an advanced level, there are UNIX tools such as mtree, which is built in, radmind, or tripwire, but you probably don't want to go there. I use radmind and mtree for different purposes, but they're not for the squeamish.

  • Multiple Extension in Filter Finder Items

    Does anyone know how to make Filter Finder Items filter for more than one extension? For example, if I want to make a script filter for MOV, AVI, and WMV?

    Well, it sure would be nice if the filter action would do that for you directly, but since it doesn't there are a few alternatives. You can use a Run AppleScript action to do the filters, a Run Shell Script action to do the filters, or use a bunch of Automator actions that do each of the specific filters and combine the individual results:
    Tested workflow:
    1) Ask for Finder Items (Type: Files, Allow Multiple Selection, Ignore Input)
    2) Set Value of Variable (Variable: Source Items) -- store the original items
    3) Filter Finder Items (Whose: Name Extension is equal to mov)
    4) Set Value of Variable (Variable: MOV items) -- store filtered MOV items
    5) Get Value of Variable (Variable: Source Items, Ignore Input)
    6) Filter Finder Items (Whose: Name Extension is equal to avi)
    7) Set Value of Variable (Variable: AVI items) -- store filtered AVI items
    8) Get Value of Variable (Variable: Source Items, Ignore Input)
    9) Filter Finder Items (Whose: Name Extension is equal to wmv)
    10) Get Value of Variable (Variable: MOV items, Accept Input) -- add the previous filtered items
    11) Get Value of Variable (Variable: AVI items, Accept Input) -- add the previous filtered items
    12) View Results (or continue with the rest of the workflow)
    Note that the Accept/Ignore Input item will let you combine or isolate the action from the results of the previous one.

  • Automator - Filter Finder Items filtering contents of sub folders

    I have an external hard drive and I want to keep my iTunes music library automatically backed up on it. I am using automator to copy my most recent files to the external (run the script once a week). I let iTunes manage all my audio files, etc so I figured the created, modified, opened dates would be the best way to filter the items I want to copy over. The workflow is as follows.
    1) Get Specified Finder Items (iTunes Library Music folder)
    2) Get Folder Contents (All artist directories (Repeat for each subfolder found is NOT checked)
    3) Filter Finder Items (ANY of Date Last Modified, Date Created, Date last opened in the last week)
    4) Copy finder items (to my external hard drive)
    I am having two problems.
    1) If I play a song from my second hard drive iTunes copies it into it's directory when it opens... iTunes Music > Artist > Album > Song.mp3. The mp3's modified date, created date, and last opened date is the same as the file that got copied. The new Artist and Album directories that were created by itunes have current created dates (makes sense). However, the filter is still not catching it. Only if the mp3 is current will the filter catch it. I DON'T have 'Repeat for each subfolder found'... shouldn't the filter check for the folder's modified, created and last opened dates?
    2) If everything works the way I want it to I see this to be a problem in the future. If I add an album by an artist that I already have an album for, the filter will skip it. Any suggestions on how I could handle this problem?
    Thanks.

    Found out that since Hebrew was set up first in the language option the filter on textual was failing. After I changed the order of the languages in the language preferences the file filter by name, extension etc… worked O.K.

    ErrorEventID : 4126
    In the event viewer we get a Information event 4114 saying the DB redundancy health check passed and in the details section we get the same error message mentioned above.
    Also we observed that the "MSExchange Replication" counter "Failed" is set to 1 for this perticular DB but is is set to 0 for the other DB's. Tried restarting the MSEXChange replication service but still the "Failed" counter
    is 1 and the SCOM alert is still active.
    The version is Exchange 2010 SP3 UR5
    Any clues???

    Hi,
    From your description, this issue only affect one mailbox datatabase.
    Please use the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command to check result.
    If it doesn't work, please dismount your active database copy and check if this is Clean Shutdown, if it's dirty shutdown, please bring to clean shutdown and mount this database copy. Then run the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command again to check result.
    Best regards,
