The longstanding scripts-in-actions bug
In case it is true that with the announcement of the new version the beta testers are relieved of the non-disclosure-agreement (as I think I read somewhere):
Can anybody tell yet if Scripts in Actions will finally be maintained after restarting the appplication in Illustrator CS6?
I can’t remember for sure if I filed a report, but I have added my support and started a thread in the Feature Request section.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/729118?tstart=30
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3872075#3872075
The Adobe team should have been aware of this for a looong time now in any case, because the issue has persisted at least since CS, if I remember correctly.

Vanishing scripts in actions bug continued
When did this first raise its ugly head? Was it CS3?
Use 'insert menu item' to add a script to an action. Quit and relaunch Illustrator. The action is still there but the script item isn't.
Still not fixed in CS5.
MHPAs far as I know, it's always been like this, despite repeated pleas to fix this in the Feature Request forum.
What I want to know, but have been too busy to ask, is whether the Layer Action bug which just appeared in CS4 has been fixed in CS5. Actions which have any Layer steps used to work fine, but in CS4 they too are lost after every relaunch. I'm long since sick and tired of having to delete and re-load my master Action set every time Illustrator crashes.

What do you mean? The action plugins are available for download from
the regular Sentinel plug-in site:
http://support.novell.com/products/s...elplugins.html
The ability to access or manage plugins will depend on your product
(Sentinel 6.1, 7.x, or Log Manager).
What you want to do may also slightly affect how you access them so
knowing that, and really knowing the entire story, would help.
The SDK can also be used to build new ones, if you're interested.
Good luck.

CS6 scripting bug / Problème scripts d'action CS6
Bonjour, suite à mon passage de la CS4 à la CS6, mes scripts d'action ne marchent plus.
Ce script par exemple :
Hi folks, going from CS4 to CS6 made my action scripts bug, especially those using pathfinder :
divide / ungroup / default / trim / ungroup / copy / paste in front
Ces actions effectuées une à une donnent un résultat normal mais conduisent donnent une série de messages d'erreur une fois enregistrées dans un script :
These actions do work normally when i perform them separetly but fail as soon as i record it in a script. Does anyone has an idea?
C'est la même chose avec ou sans fond, avec ou sans contour. Ce même script fonctionne très bien sur CS4. Les raccourcis clavier sont les mêmes.
HELLLLPPPPP!!!!!Bonjour, n'ayant jamais été confronté au problème, je suis allé regarder si la question avait été traitée en anglais.
Mylenium a proposé une explication sur l'accès à certains ports du système.
En fait pour lire une vidéo, Photoshop a besoin de créer un accès à ce fichier, en interne, si ces ports sont inaccessibles (bloqués par une appli tierce, antivirus, firewall (ou pare-feu) ou occupés par d'autres applications), cela peut échouer. -
Record actions bug. does not execute the dont save action even though it acknowledges in action list
i am using macbook pro running Lion
so i am trying to save a series of actions that i want applied to a batch of images. i do all the actions correctly (i've done this before in earlier version of photoshop). stop recording my actions, and open the same image to make sure the automation process works properly and i get the same image through automation that i got when building my actions. one
of the actions is cutting and pasting a portion of the image in a different location, yet during the automation it always ends up somewhere else, and not in the same place, which makes no sense. another issue is during the recording of my actions i close out of all the files b4 i stop recording and click dont save. so this should be automated, but when i run the automation it prompts me to click dont save which it shouldnt do. i cant sit at the cpu and click dont save for thousands of images. whts the point of automation if i have to actually do something. stupid program. and i can clearly see in the list of actions tht it recorded me clicking dont save yet it still prompts me every time. i really do hate cs6. i wld install my old photoshop but b/c i have lion it doesnt support it... of course.. *rolls eyes*@conroy - one of the actions means one task in an action (see screen shot).
@noel - i am able to run my action properly when i "play selection", but when i try to run a batch of images through the "automate" function is when the issues begin to arise. at least most of the issues.
i would insert an image to show what i did, but i cant seem to get that to work (on my pc or mac... weird). i loaded it to my fbook page and u can view it by following the below link
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=750482081505&l=4d1bb044bd
you can view an image of what i did here.
so in detail what i am trying to do is:
record an action of the edits i make to a raw image so i can then run that same action on a batch of thousands of images via "automate." the specific tasks i am trying to complete during my action should be visble in the link i provided. to explain in detail what is occuring that is being recorded as an action:
1)- i press begin record
2)- I am open a raw image
3)- there is a time stamp in the image and i select and copy the time stamp from the corner of the image
4)- i then open a new document and past the time stamp into the new document
5)- i then increase the size of the pasted time stamp by about 3x by changing the resolution
6)- i then go back to original image
7)- i crop the original image to exclude the time stamp and other superflous things on the edges of the image
8)- i then rotate the original image 90 degrees CCW
9)- i then go back to the new document w/ the time stamp and select the time stamp with the marquee tool, so I can copy the time stamp to the original image
10)- i copy and paste the time stamp to the original image, i use the "move tool" and move the time stamp to the top of the original image.
11)- i then flatten the original image (i thought when this was done this is essentially combining layers, so there should be no possibility of the edited time stamp moving around as it has been flattened onto the original image)
12)- i then save the original image (that was flattened w/ the edited time stamp) as a .jpeg As part of the save process i also select the resolution.
***issue***
so i am now having an issue on this section as well. as you can see in the link i provided i have told adobe to do all this, yet now at this section it prompts me to make a decision about the resolution (i.e. press "ok").
13) -after this step i then select "close all" from the file menu which closes the original image that i just saved and prompts me if i want to save the new document i created for the time stamp i edited
14) - i select "dont save"
15) -i press stop record
16) - i then go to the folder where i saved the file i just edited in photoshop and change the name.
17) - i start the action process to see if i can replicate the manual actions i just completed through automation. i have no issues replicating this when i manually start the action, except for my issue w/ the time stamp detailed below.
***issue*****
when i do this the time stamp that i edited and pasted back into the image is not in the same place. i have only gotten it to be in the same place once, and the only thing i did differently was continually re-create the above action in the same manner. each time i recreated the action the time stamp was in a different place and one time it was finally in the place i moved it to.
18) - after checking that the action works, i then attempt to automate a batch of files
19) - i select file -> automate -> batch
20) - in batch i choose the folder with the original raw images that i now want to run the action on and also select the folder where to place the altered images
21) - in the batch menu i do not have any of the boxes checked (i.e. suppress color profile warnings, etc.)
22) - i select "ok" and the automation process starts
this is where i run into issues. originally i would get prompted @ step 14 (above) instead of the automation process just reading the task in the action that says select "dont save". somehow i do not get prompted there anymore. now i get prompted at step 12. it saves its as jpeg, but instead of completing the save process, at the resolution screen it prompts me to select "ok" instead of reading the task in the action that says select "ok"
i have created new actions for the images i collect since CS4 and CS5 and i have never run into any of the issues i have described above. i appreciate any and all help you can provide, as it currently stands i am pretty upset b/c i have wasted an entire day or productivity messing w/ what appears to be a buggy program. -
Should/can the install script included in source=() list?
Hi,
It is a good thing that the sources needed to build a package are md5summed for integrity, but in most packages the install script is not. I was thinking why this might be - the PKGBUILD can be expected to modify the script?
So to try, in one of my packages I added the install script to the source=() list. The package builds of course just fine. Then, however, if I want to upload it to AUR, I try to make a source-only package with "makepkg --source", which brakes with something like this:
ln: creating symbolic link `/tmp/foo/srclinks.YjYgQ8XlE/foo/foo.install': File exists
This is because makepkg tries to create a 2 symbolic links with the same filename: one link for the "foo.install" in the source=() list and also for the install=() list....
Is this deliberate, or a bug? Looks more like a bug to me, but thought I better ask first....
Cheers,

It might be completely internal to the pacman but defines actions taken on the system - thus whatever is in .install has effects just like the rest of the files, maybe even more: the other files are just copied, the .install is executed.
And while it might never get installed on the system, it's internals are - how else one could define a "post_uninstall()" if it wasn't stored? Being pacman developer you know much more about this than I do, can you give a bit of info on that?
Right it is installed to pacman database, but again, it is pacman doing all that.
Fair enough.... The detail, however, that is not installed does not preempt checksumming. Eg. patches are also: 1) used for the package, 2) not installed, and 3) still in the checksum....
shining wrote:
All I'm trying to get to, is there any serious reason (technical, not philosophical) NOT to checksum the install script as well? Because I'm yet to see any valid arguments against it, and there are loads for it....
Taking your example from kernel26 :
-i $startdir/kernel26.install
-i ${pkgdir}/etc/mkinitcpio.d/${pkgname}.preset
Note that the scriptlet edited is the original one in $startdir , because that's the only place where it needs to be, from the packager pov.
While for the preset file, it needs to be copied to $pkgdir and it is edited there.
If you had a checksum for the scriptlet, it would also mean that makepkg -g output could be altered after running makepkg. Very weird..
Ok, this is indeed the case. But if you look at real packages, it seems that after the package is compiled, many times they update the PKGBUILD with the new md5sum values. Again: core/kernel26.
That .install update section in the PKGBUILD is then relegated to a "helper function" role that keep the information in sync when there's a new release, but as the PKGBUILD is distributed, it won't change anything in the .install anymore...
Thus, again, there's no real difference between the .install files and other files used as source.
shining wrote:Btw the whole scriptlet file could be created entirely from the pkgbuild build function.
Sure, and that's a great thing! I actually wondered why so many packages have separate .install when it can be done in the PKGBUILD. Thought it might be some convention, but probably just habit.... I prefer doing it in the PKGBUILD as well, whenever possible...
shining wrote:There might be ways to fix that, though I don't even see any good ones. But why bother ? You said there are loads of valid arguments to have it , but you didn't even give one !
On the other hand, I'm yet to find any of your rebuttals that are not rebutted here again...
shining wrote:What are you worried about here ? Security ? If you think adding a checksum for the install file is going to give you any security, you are badly fooling yourself. If someone is distributing a malicious pkgbuild, it can contain the md5sum of the malicious scriptlet which is shipped with it.
I think you misunderstood me. I'm not complaining, but inquiring. The PKGBUILD system is awesome, and it makes me search out programs that I use but not in the repo/AUR so that I can make a new package. But also, I'm interested in the "how" and "why", and hope to improve things if possible. Now, to me it seems theres an unreasonable distinction to checksum some files needed for a package but not all of them. And thus I set out to ask the elders here on the Forum to see whether someone can shed light on the reasons of the current state. Not trying to piss of anybody, but being interested.
Of course the md5sum is not security, it's a help, nothing more.
As an example: some time ago, there was a package in the community (thus managed by TUs) that had an update. I wanted to check out something in the package, got the PKGBUILD and tried to make it myself - md5sum says that the sources are incorrect.... Obviously something must have gone very bad, because the md5sum field was updated according to the SVN, the package is available on pacman thus it had to build, and the sources used in the package have not been changed for a while so that cannot be a problem....
I've got a package from a trusted source and it is broken, the md5sum told me. So the breakage can be the very same way in the install script, why is the md5sum not allowed to tell me that?
shining wrote:The only security for pkgbuilds is yourself. When you get one from a strange place, you MUST read the pkgbuild/install files.
Of course, never argued against it. But there are different layers of verbosity....
Anyway.... -
CS5 - Running Script with Action. Not saving problem
I am trying to setup an action that runs a script using the "Insert menu item" command.
It all works perfectly but when I quit Illustrator and re0open it, the action has disappeared.
Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?Additional info (no solution):
Could have something to do with the order Illustrator registers available scripts as menu commands and checking validity of action 'menu commands'.
Try this:
- Look in the File/Scripts menu and note down a scriptname in there;
- Exit Illustrator;
- Start Illustrator
- Create a new action
- In the Action Panel flyout menu chose 'Insert Menu Item...' - a Find dialog should open
- In the textbox enter the scriptname you dotted down and press Find
It tells you 'No menu item matching that name was found.'
- Press OK, then Cancel;
- Goto File/Scripts but don't select a script, close the menu
now again
- Create a new action
- In the Action Panel flyout menu chose 'Insert Menu Item...' - a Find dialog should open
- In the textbox enter the scriptname you dotted down and press Find
Now it could be found..
So it seems that when Illustrator starts:
Initializes without registering the available scripts as available menuitems
When the actions are loaded and in it is a Menu Command, it checks if that command is actually available - if not it deletes the action item
After accessing the scriptmenu the scripts are indeed registered as available menuitems..
So now if they would only register the scriptnames before loading the actions when starting Illustrator it would be solved. Or of course disable checking action commands for validity.
Sure hope they solve this soon as I can imagine it affects a lot of people. -

Longstanding Exchange Calendar Sync Bug Persists in iOS 7 / 7.0.2
For those who sync their iPhone / iPad / iPod touch to a Microsoft Exchange e-mail environment, you may be aware that there's a longstanding Exchange Calendar Sync bug (affecting iOS 4.x - 6.1.3). An otherwise functional iDevice may suddenly remain warmer to the touch than normal, exhibit much shorter battery life, and start using cellular data at up to ten times the user's typical pattern. I've taked with Apple Support several times, and was never able to get an answer. The fix involves simply opening the Exchange account settings on the iDevice, shutting off calendar sync for thirty seconds, and turning it back on. This is nothing new.
Over the weekend, an executive’s iPhone 5 (on Verizon) and his iPad 2 (Wi-Fi only), both running iOS 7, began exhibiting runaway connections to my employer’s Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync server. The user upgraded his iPhone 5 to iOS 7.0.2 over the weekend, but the problem persisted. In one 24-hour period, his iPhone checked in with our server 45,009 times, while his iPad connected 55,547 times. Normally we’d expect to see a single device connect a few hundred times per day rather than tens of thousands.
I've written more about it here.This is still a problem in iOS 7.0.4 as well. We just had runaway calendar sync behavior on a 4th generation iPad running iOS 7.0.4 (iPad3C4/1102.55400001), which connected 75,436 times in a single 24-hour day.

Filling Activity fields from the Interactive Script WinClient
Hi Experts,
I am working with Interactive Scripting (CRMM_TM_SCRIPT) and I already defined my interactive script. I am also creating Activities after I finish with the Script in order to register a case. I am doing this by defining an Action Type CIC-AB which calls an Action Box in the Interaction Center WinClient. In the Action field I define the name of the Activity I want to call from the Action Box of the Interaction Center.
When the Agent receives a call, he navigates in the Interactive Script in order to clasify the case he is treating. At the end of the Script, the case needs to be register following the clasification made by the Agent, and thats why we are calling an Activity. The thing is that we dont want the Agent to fill again the information he just defined in the Script in the Activiy, so we want to fill certain fields of the Activiy I am calling with Information of the Interactive Script I used before, in order to save time to the Agent that Register the Case.
Can anyome shed some light on this issue?
Thanks to everyone.Alberto
You can create an activity.i.e., you can create an Order from the Interactive Script if you already created the Script structurethen follow the below steps
I think it would be helpful
Procedure:
T-Code: EWFC0
Path: SPROIMGCustomer Relationship ManagementCustomer Interaction CenterVisible ComponentsAction Box SettingsDefine Configuration Profile for Action Box.
1. Choose F4 help to select one of the Action Box profiles you have created and you want to adapt and choose change.
2. Mark the Action box Configuration and create a new Action Box Group by choosing Create transaction group.
Enter a group ID, description and icon for the new transaction group and choose Continue.
3. Mark the new transaction group and create a new Action Box transaction by choosing Create transaction.
4. Enter a transaction ID.
5. Enter a Transaction Definition section, select Workspace.
6. In the Transaction Definition section, select Workspace.
Two additional fields will appear.
7 Choose F4 in the Workspace field to select the Script.
8. Choose F4 in the profile field to select the Interactive Scripting profile that you created in the previous steps above.
9. Enter a Slot Name if desired.
10. Choose Continue.
You are automatically taken to the Maintain Data Flow screen .No data flow parameters need to be maintained for the Interactive Scripting workspace.
11. Choose Back.
12 Choose Save.
Note: Since Only Workspace of this type can be open at once, you will need to close the Automatically Created Interactive Scripting Workspace before launching the Interactive Scripting Action Box call.

Scripting Illustrator actions, incorporating calls to Excel
Hello all, I need some help...
I am building a series of logos — based on word strings — using Illustrator CS4 with a combination of Actions, but also retrieving the word string from an Excel file.
Normally for one or two iterations of the process, I would not hassle with a script, but this is a mind-numbing repetitive task, and I have to make 6,000 logos!! Seems the ideal use for a script.
We have tried to work with ExtendScript Toolkit (ESTK) but we can't get our heads around how to make it do certain things, and I can't find anyone who really knows how to use ESTK correctly.
I have a MAC, so the script has to be written in Java Script or Apple Script.
Here's what I need to do:
Execute Action: Open a Master Illustrator doc. This doc is already configured with art board, pre-defined type box (Area Type Optioned), Charater Styles, Drop Shadow parameters set. <pause Action>
Run Script: Retrieve the word string from a cell in Excel worksheet (or CSV??). Some are single words, first letter capped. Some are two to four words Camel Cased. Example: "DinnerPartiestm". There are two additional charaters "tm" at the end of the word string that will be acted upon (remember these two characters for item 7 below)
Run Script: Place this WordString into the predefined type box in the Illustrator Master doc. That is, in Illustrator, "select" the type box so the cursor is at first position and place the word string — copy from Excel & paste into Illustrator? <pause Script>
Execute Action: Apply character style 1— font with point size, letter spacing, stroke and colour (It just happens to be red). Example: DinnerPartiestm <pause Action>
Run Script: Select all caps in word string. Example: DinnerPartiestm <pause Script>
Execute Action: Apply character style 2 — Caps Only (selected) — New point size, baseline offset. Example: DinnerPartiestm <pause Action>
Run Script: Select last two letters of word string. Example: DinnerPartiestm <pause Script>
Execute Action: Apply character style 3 — last two letters only (selected) — New point size, change colour, baseline offset. Example: DinnerPartiestm <pause Action>
Run Script: Select text box. <pause Script>
Execute Action: Apply Stylize > Drop Shadow — On contents of text box, preset DS parameters in either Appearence panel or Effect menu.
Execute Action: File > Save As .ai document. <at Save As dialog, pause action>
Run Script: Retrieve file name from Excel and place in Save As dialog (copy & paste?). In next column in Excel doc, same row, is a SEO-friendly file name. Example: word string is "DinnerParties"; file name (next column) is "logo-dinner-parties"
Run Script: Select folder to save the .ai doc into. Example: Folder is "Logos AI". <pause Script>
Execute Action: Complete Save As. Example: in Folder "Logos AI" now we have the file "logo-dinner-parties.ai"
Execute Action [assumes that the Saved As document — logo-dinner-parties.ai — is now the active one in Illustrator]: Save for Web & Devices. Preset to PNG24/Transparent. Correct file name will NOT be in Save field. <at Save dialog, pause action>
Run Script: Repeat retrieval process to get same file name from Excel.
Run Script: Select new folder to save the .png doc into. Example: Folder is "Logos PNG". <pause Script>
Execute Action: Complete Save for Web. Example: in Folder "Logos PNG" now we have the file "logo-dinner-parties.png"
Execute Action: Close
Repeat steps 1 though 19 until all word strings processed: Script has to know to go to next word string (next row) in Excel doc.
This is a tricky one, but there's got to be a way to automate the process... otherwise I'll go crazy doing this manually!!
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP?
Thanking you in advance for any assistance.
All the best.IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP?
Depends on what you mean by "help." Are you asking someone to do the whole thing for you (would require more detail), or do you intend to do it yourself, but are stuck on something? (You say you "tried to work with ESTK" and "can't find anyone who really knows how to use ESTK correctly"; but you don't say specifically what you're struggling with in ESTK.)
...doc is already configured with art board, pre-defined type box (Area Type Optioned), Charater Styles, Drop Shadow parameters set.
Much of what can be done with any approach depends largely upon what Appearances and/or Effects are involved, and where. You imply that you want all of the "logo" to be contained in a single textFrame object. But Drop Shadow Effect cannot be applied at the character level, so it can't be included in a Character Style.
So if you don't want all the text to have the same drop shadow, you will be involving multiple textFrame objects. That will lead to the complication of having to position the two textFrames relative to each other, depending on their dimensions after the varying text is inserted.
Retrieve the word string from a cell in Excel worksheet (or CSV??)
With scripting, it would be inefficient and unnecssary to go back-and-forth to the spreadsheet to extract values one at a time. Typically, you would create an array containing the full set of values, and then iterate through the elements of the array.
Some are single words, first letter capped. Some are two to four words Camel Cased. Example: "DinnerPartiestm".
So you're going to need a sub-routine of some kind (in Javascript, a function) to find capital letters.
There are two additional charaters "tm" at the end of the word string that will be acted upon...
If this is the same in each instance, and if you are going to script this, there is no need to include it in the data. Insert the "tm" programmatically.
That is, in Illustrator, "select" the type box so the cursor is at first position and place the word string — copy from Excel & paste into Illustrator?
Using script, you don't have to select the textFrame, copy, or paste in order to insert content. You would declare a variable, assign its value (from the above-mentioned array), add the variable's value as text to textFrame's content.
Apply character style 1— font with point size, letter spacing, stroke and colour (It just happens to be red). Example: DinnerPartiestm
Here you will run into a difficulty inherent in Illustrator's poor implementation of stroked text. You can apply a Stroke at the Character level and include that Appearance in a Character Style. But Illustrator always positions such strokes in front of the fill--something you almost never want, because it "chokes" the fills, wrecking the shape of the characters. The workaround is to Add New Stroke and position that below the Characters listing in the Appearance Palette. But script provides no access to added strokes or fills and Added Strokes cannot be applied at the character level.
Select all caps in word string. Example: DinnerPartiestm
Illustrator cannot select discontiguous text strings. Again, script does not have to select objects in order to change their properties.
Apply character style 2 — Caps Only (selected) — New point size, baseline offset. Example: DinnerPartiestm
Apply character style 3 — last two letters only (selected) — New point size, change colour, baseline offset. Example: DinnerPartiestm
The applyTo method of the CharacterStyle object. Or, just set the size and baselineShift properties of the characterAttributes property of the textRange directly.
Apply Stylize > Drop Shadow — On contents of text box
Drop Shadow Effect cannot be applied to the contents (character level) of a textFrame--only to the textFrame object itself.
My very limited understanding of ESTK is that it is a scripting tool for use in Illustrator.
It's a script text editor included with the Creative Suite. You can use it to build scripts for any of the CS products (or entirely other purposes, for that matter). Or, you can choose to not use it at all. A Javascript is just a text file. Tools like ESTK add conveniences, references, etc., geared toward scripting.
So, I'm only acting on the word string....
But I am also not a coder...
Which is why I would look into simpler already-built methods before jumping into a tedious solution scripted for Illustrator. For example: Many, if not most, AI users are familiar with InDesign. InDesign provides a proper dataMerge feature that can handle ordinary tab-delimited text. It's handling of strokes on text is correct, unlike Illustrator. If you set it up accordingly, it can create all the separate pages for you.
You would:
1. Draw the fixed graphic in Illustrator.
2. Place the Illustrator graphic on InD's master page.
3. Set and style the text objects. Insert DataMerge tags.
4. Import the data and run the Merge function.
InD builds individual pages for each row of the data. You're done. Export to PDF. InD and Acrobat also have their own scripting models. Either one can handle the specific naming convention, if really needed.
Again, it depends on what exactly is "special" about the text object(s) you are manipulating with variable content. For example, if you're using an AI-specific Warp effect, you'd be back to Illustrator.
Anyway, you want a paying gig?
I do some freelance work as time permits and interest strikes, but I'm not cheap, and that's not why I frequent these forums.
Scripting your solution entirely in AI may very well be possible, but whoever does it will need to see the specific objects, styles, etc., involved to avoid unnecessary guessing and time-consuming round-tripping. Why don't you post an image and/or an AI file?
JET -
I am involved in a lot of works of handling thousands of photos (digital/scanned, B/W as well as color, of different ages: I have to treat images from '30s) and in my workflow (Bridge-Camera Raw-PSHP) I have a lot of repetitive actions to take.
One very delicate action is saving, in different moments of the workflow, images with different filenames extensions (having the same root of the initial image filename) in different directories; most of the times, this occurs at the end of an Action that I have recorded for specific job.
I would like to have a "script" that automates the renaming of the image file and writes it in the right directory, instead of typing the right extension and selecting the right directory by hand: beyond the waste of time, the real problem is that an error will have devastating effects.
I have tried to accomplish this with the standard PSHP Action facilities, but I haven't been able to.
I have an acceptable knowledge of Visual Basic, while I don't know anything about Scripting, and therefore the best thing would be writing imyself in VBA a function that handles the different situations for saving images with the right filename extensions in the right directory, producing a .exe that I would activate (it should be possible, but how ?) at the end of diffrent Actions: where do I get the filename of the image and the directory where it comes from ?
BTW, I have the Design Premium Creative Suite 3 in an XP SP3 always updated.
Great thanks to the ones that can help me: I need it.
Mauro (Italy)As a start could you please try this script.
Open "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2" (This is installed with Photoshop) and should be available in Start Programs.
Copy and paste this code into an ExtendScript window.
Then File- Save to C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Presets/Scripts folder
Close Photoshop if open then re-open Photoshop
Load a test picture for Definitive then run the script and see if it does what you require.
To run the script File - Scripts and select the script.
If it does you can add the script to the end of your action by selecting "Inset Ment Item" in the action palette and File - Scripts and select the script.
#target photoshop
function main(){
if(!documents.length){
alert("You do not have a document open!");
return;
var newPath = Folder(decodeURI(activeDocument.path) +"/" +"Definitive"); //This is the target folder
if(!newPath.exists){
var result = Window.confirm (decodeURI(newPath) +"\nDoes Not Exist\nWould you like me to create it?", true, "Folder does Not Exist");
if(!result) return;
newPath.create();
var newName = decodeURI(activeDocument.name).match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
newName = newName +"-DEF.tif"; //The suffix with tiff format
var saveFile = File(decodeURI(newPath)+"/"+newName);
if(saveFile.exists){
var result = Window.confirm("This File Exits!\nWould You Like It Overwritten?", true, "File Exists");
if(!result) return;
saveFile.remove();
SaveTIFF(saveFile);

function SaveTIFF(saveFile){

tiffSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
tiffSaveOptions.alphaChannels = true;
tiffSaveOptions.imageCompression = TIFFEncoding.TIFFLZW;

Regards,
Jack@Jack – you were using a joboptions file by Distiller to convert a PostScript file to a PDF/X-1a.
What you get is no error message, just a report, that everything went ok. And in this case I cannot see any advantage using PDF Export for printing to PostScript/distilling to PDF. Ok, maybe one, CS5 and above would export in a background process.
To prevent InDesign flattening transparency, you could use PDF/X-4 as your export setting. You cannot use writing to PostScript for that task.
Check including tags for tagged export to prevent misalignment of text because of a strange bug with PDF Export when you are using 9pt text on 12pt leading or text with a ratio of 9/12 for point size and leading in multicolumn text frames.

[python] setting a variable in a loaded module from the main script
Hi,
I have have two python scripts, one generally controlling my desktop wallpaper, the other downloads the APOD picture from the net and sets it as my wallpaper.
At the moment I can get the wallpaper script to load the apod script as a module to use its functionality.
The problem comes when I try to get the module to recognise variables set from the parent script:
I have both scripts using the variable 'verbose' to control how much output is printed, (which can be set from the command line options).
How do I get the 'verbose' variable in the imported module to be the same as the variable set by the script?
I can get it into an imported function using a keyword assignment when called, 'download(verbose=options.verbose)', but this is forgotten when other functions are called.
I have also tried making it a global variable.
I assume it is because I am importing the module and setting the default value before the main script sets its value, but I cant see a way round this.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,

I think I understand why it gives the results it does when run as 'test1.py -v'
I was just wondering if there was an easier way to get the second script to take and remember the variable without having to write variable=value into the function call every single time? However this is the only way I have found so far.
