Use Relative Path for Photoshop Action?

I have a Photoshop Action that is programmed to open an existing file located in a specific directory. The path to this directory is an absolute path, i.e.:
C:\Program Files\Photoshop Actions\filename.jpg
As long as the Action can find the file in the specified absolute path, everything works fine.
My problem is that if someone tries to run this Action on a different computer (like a Mac), the path specified in the action does not exist and the Action will not work.
The simple solution to this would be to make the action open the file located at a relative path. This way no matter what computer the action is run on, it will always be able to find the file.
Unfortunately, I don't think Photoshop Actions allow relative paths. Does anyone know if using a relative path in an action is possible?
Failing this, how would I use a Photoshop Script to somehow direct the Action to find the correct location of the file? Or is there a better solution?

The idea that I use in the xtools installer and else where is this:
1) Convert the action file to XML.
2) Package the XML file and the apps/ActionFileFromXML script with your stuff.
3) An installer script will do a 'replace' (or whatever) on the XML file so that the paths are converted to whatever is needed.
4) The new XML is saved and then converted to a .atn file which is then loaded.
There is an xtools forum at ps-scripts.com that may have some info in addition to the PDF file that comes with the package.

Using relative path for in file/ftp adapter

Hi All,
How to have a relative path for file/ ftp adapter's inbound/outbound operation?

i want to drop a file in to $ORA_HOME/folder1/folder2 (Or poll for a file).
<partnerLinkBinding name="FTP">
<property name="wsdlLocation">FTP.wsdl</property>
<property name="out_dir" type="LogicalDirectory">What do i write here???</property>

</partnerLinkBinding>
if i cant configure this in partner link section or in activation agent sction, how else do i achieve this?
i am using 10.1.3.* version.
Thanks in advance.

You can achive it using the deployment scripts if the directory is changing on the basis of the environment
If you want to change at run time than you can use the jca properties to set using the variables at runtime.

Css/js relative path for embedded server

We have recently begun using relative paths for css and js files in our deployed applications:
<link href="../../resources/css/global3.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script language="JavaScript" src="../../resources/script/globalScript.js" type="text/JavaScript"></script>
I cannot figure out where to put the resources folder on my local machine so the pages will link correctly when running a project on my embedded server in JDev. Can anyone please help?

Hi,
the embedded OC4J has its configuration files at
\jdeveloper_installdir\jdev\system\oracle.j2ee.<version>\embedded-oc4j
However, if you use relative addressing then web applications try to find them relative to the public_html directory of the Viewlayer project

Get the relative path for java class

How to get Relative path for java class which is inside in web-inf directory in webapps

Hi gimbal2,

can u help me regarding that....
Thanks in advanceI wonder how that would work then. Let's take a fictive example. You have a class com.mycompany.myapp.Foo. This would mean that the class is stored in some directory like this:
c:/webrootdir/myapp/WEB-INF/classes/com/mycompany/myapp/Foo.classTo be able to run such a class from the commandline using Java, you would have to invoke this command:
java -cp c:/webrootdir/myapp/WEB-INF/classes com.mycompany.myapp.FooHow would knowing the exact path to this class help you?

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ?

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ? Please help me as its urgent.THanks for your help in advance.

Hi Jay,
SSIS can only recognize the absolute path of a XML Configuration file, the relative path is not supported. Furthermore, if the XML Configuration file is already generated, we can use the Environment variable package configuration type instead so that
SSIS runtime automatically looks for the configuration file from the path defined in the environment variable. This is convenient when we need to deploy a package to different environment. We only need to define the environment variable for package configurations
once on each server, and then the variable can be used by all the packages on this server.

Using Relative Path instead of Full Path OMBPlus

Can we use relative paths in OMBPlus scripts instead of full paths. For example all my OMBplus (tcl) scripts are in folder;
C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg
and the MDX file I would like to deploy is in
C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg\scripts\dwextract\tables
but when I try to use
OMBIMPORT MDL_FILE '../scripts/dwextract/tables/$tblName.mdx'
instead of
OMBIMPORT MDL_FILE 'C:/tfsroot2/Interfaces and Extracts/branches/Interfaces and Extracts1.1/000 - OWB Prototype/deploy/ora.stg/scripts/dwextract/tables/$tblName.mdx'
It does not work.
I use
call "C:\OraHome_1\owb\bin\win32\OMBPlus.bat" "C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg\OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILE
in order to execute.
I think it is because It set the OMBPlus.bat location is a base folder. Any way to overcome this issue and use relative paths instead of the full path?

OK, a couple of things. First, you need to remember that TCL treats back-slashes as an escape character. Always use forward slashes in your paths, or double up the back slashes .
So, this should work:
CD "C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg"
call OMBPlus.bat "C:\\tfsroot2\\Interfaces and Extracts\\branches\\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\\000 - OWB Prototype\\deploy\\ora.stg\\OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILEor this:
CD "C\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg"
call OMBPlus.bat "C:/tfsroot2/Interfaces and Extracts/branches/Interfaces and Extracts1.1/000 - OWB Prototype/deploy/ora.stg/OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILEAs an FYI for OMB, if you are prone to doing a lot of scripts and so building libraries of common functions, you can also easilly use the "file" command in order to determine the current directory at runtime so you can plunk your script anywhere with it's required libraries and it will be able to source them at runtime.
For example, all our scripts have this basic bit of code at the beginning so we can pass them between developers and it doesn't matter where anyone put their script directory - the scripts will find the libraries as long as they are co-located:
# Get Current Directory and time
set dtstmp     [ clock format [clock seconds] -format {%Y%m%d_%H%M}]
set scrpt      [ file split [file root [info script]]]
set scriptDir [ file dirname [info script]]
set scriptName [ lindex $scrpt [expr [llength $scrpt]-1]]
set cnfg_lib "$scriptDir/ombplus_config.tcl"
set owb_lib "$scriptDir/omb_library.tcl"
set sql_lib "$scriptDir/omb_sql_library.tcl"
# Import Lbraries
#      Assumes that owb_config, omb_library, and omb_sql_library are in the same directory as this
#      script.
#get config file
if [catch { set retstr [ source $cnfg_lib ] } errmsg] {
   puts "**********************************************************************"
   puts "* Libraries are missing from the current directory. Exiting.... *"
   puts "**********************************************************************"
   return -code 2
#get standard library
source $owb_lib
source $sql_lib
# Set Logfile
#    This will overwrite anything set in the config file.
set LOG_PATH "$scriptDir/logs"
file mkdir $LOG_PATH
set    SPOOLFILE ""
append SPOOLFILE $LOG_PATH "/log_" $scriptName "_" $tabName "_" $dtstmp ".txt"
# Now the main script body goes from here.Cheers,
Mike

Can't use relative paths in jsp pages or javabeans

Hi everyone,
Can someone please help me with this little problem.
When I want to use in a JSP page the object 'FileReadInput' to read in a file, it can't find when I only give the filename. The target file and source file are in the same directory so I would expect if I only give the filename, it will automatically search in the current directory. But when I give the complete absolute path, everything works fine. Is it possible to use relative paths in a jsp or javabean file?
By the way, I am working with JDeveloper from Oracle. (maybe that has something to do with my problem)
Can someone help me???
Thx

My dear friend,
It will not work at all. coz, for any jsp file, ur application server will create a .java file and then .class file in a directory other than the directory where ur .jsp file present. that's why, ur file to be read can't be found. that's why use the following.
String path=getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRealPath("/")+File.seperator+"yourfilename";

Menu using relative paths

Hi, I have flash menu all using relative paths to the html
files. I also have some files in a separate folder for
organization. I add the folder paths to get to the html files
within the folder, but when I get into that folders file, i cant
get back out. If I add ../ to the other files, it of course brings
me out, but cant get to the other files. I hope that makes sense,
Should I just use absolute paths?
file.html
/folder/file.html
otherfile.html
thanks,
Josh

absolute would probably work best.
When a link brings you into a folder (/folder/file.html), if
the same set of links is there and you click a link that is
supposed to bring you to home (index.html), it tries to open
(/folder/index.html), not index.html. Make sense?
Thanks,
Josh

Adobe Flash CS5 - Using Relative Paths

Hiya Guys, I'm relatively new to Adobe Flash CS5, bu have managed to create an index.swf to link together all my work for this project I've just completed. However, the index.swf, along with all my other files will be relocated, as in burnt onto a CD or moved onto a USB. When the file directories change, the links obviouly break, so I needed some help setting up some relative paths for my files so that they don't break. All my files are stored under a PROJECT file, this then consists of five other folders, consisting of subfolders and each of these subfolders have their own documents. So for example, PROJECT\PARTONE\DATABASES\Database.accdb
I have used absolute file paths, but they keep on breaking when moving directories. Can someone PLEASE help?!

Well I did use actionscript for creating the actual index and effects, but AS3 was used no further for the index. I created an index which had links Part 1, Part 2 ,3,4,5 and clicking on each of them lead to different frames (using the mouseclick, goto and stop at frame (x) function.) Clicking on part one for example would lead to list of documents in that part. Sorry I can't be of any help, I'm totally new to this
