Using batch or actions closes CS5

Hi all.
Whenever I try to run an action or use batch I get an error message that Photoshop CS 5 will now close. What if anything can I do? I am running XP. There are actions in the plugins/actions folder. The actions tab contains my actions and the original ones.
JIM

It's possible that if you remove the Twain_32 optional plug-in that you have installed you will find that those functions will work.
Yes, I know they seem unrelated, and that you'll be without TWAIN support.  Apparently there's a bizarre bug in some TWAIN drivers that breaks the batch/actions processing under some conditions.  I remember a lot of posts on this subject a while back.

  • TROUBLE WITH ACTIONS IN CS5.5

    I JUST UPGRADED TO CS5.5 FROM CS3.  I HAVE ACTIONS I CREATED IN CS3 THAT DO NOT WORK IN CS5.5 AND I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS WHY.
    THE ACTION I HAVE IN CS3...
    STEP 1: SELECT ALL
    STEP 2: CHANGE X VALUE TO 1.4375 (IN TRANSFORM PANEL)
    STEP 3: CHANGE Y VALUE TO .762 (IN TRANSFORM PANEL)
    THAT'S IT! IT'S A SIMPLE ONE THAT CENTERS ALL ART ON MY TEMPLATE.  WHEN I USE THE SAME ACTION IN CS5.5 IT DOESN'T WORK. IT JUST MOVES IT TO RANDOM PLACES. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY??
    I AM ON A PC, WINDOWS XP

    I'm having a similar problem, seems related, but I don't understand the issue.
    I have an object, with a center of 0,0.
    I am using the transform box to move this to 2,0.  I then make a copy of this, and move this copy to 4,0
    When playing this recorded action back, it does not repeat my results. 
    Would you happen to know why this is occuring?

  • Assigning details in RSBBS using batch input (SHDB). Line selection problem

    Hello, Experts!
    While trying to use batch input by transation recording in SHDB I faced the problem of selecting line.
    The scenario was as follows:
    1. create new record in SHDB, transation "RSBBS", asynchronous, no catt, default size checked.
    2. Start recording:
    2.1 Select sender (query)
    2.2 Create receiver (java-application)
    2.3 Select line with receiver in table
    2.4 assign details
    2.5 Save
    When I got the record it contains no action for line selection and when I play the record I get the  error: "Line is not selected".
    How could I define line selection in the bdc-script manually or may be there are some other way to rich the goal - to create a pack of recivers for s sender and to assing details (in my case they are common for all recievers) for each of the reciver?
    Hope for your help.
    Best regards,
    Jozef

    There is no magic in here. The number lines that you see online may not necessarily be the same as what you get in batch. This is because, online, the SAPGUI can be formatted by the user, so the number of lines you can see can vary by the user.
    To overcome this problem, most BDC that have table controls/step-loops are done by using a feature provided within the transaction. This feature enables you to add the new line always at a constant position. In MB11, you can achieve this by pressing 'New Item' after every item. That will enable you to enter the new item always in the first line/position. So you can keep your position as 1 always.
    Instead of BDC, why don't you use BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.
    If this helps, please reward and close the post.
    Thanks,

    Cause: The instance has already opened and closed the database, which is allowed only once in its lifetime.
    Action: Shut down the instance.

    If you read the documentation you will see that there is no ALTER DATABASE CLOSE command.
    This is an undocumented Oracle command, which we are not supposed to use. Consequently we are not allowed to complain about the way that it works. Instead we're supposed to use SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.

  • With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?

    With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
    I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
    My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
    How to correct that
    Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

    I've had the same problem. This solved it...
    Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).

  • Can't Use Batch Rename "Rename In Same Folder" for some photos

    Have a strange problem: when using "Batch Rename…" under the "Tools" menu, "Rename In Same Folder" is unusable for some photos taken with some cameras, not for others. For one example, I shift-selected a range of photos taken at a recent vacation, some with my iPhone, some with my girlfriend's Canon PowerShot SD450. Bridge renamed the iPhone photos, but not Canon photos. For another example, if I select a single photo taken by her cell phone or Canon camera, "Rename In Same Folder" is grayed-out; if I select a single photo taken my by iPhone, not so. Does anyone understand this behavior, and is there a solution?

    Bridge Support Center in the help menu leads to a 404 error page.
    Sadly enough this is also on my system (Mac OSX 10.6.8) It should not be showing 404 but it is there...
    What Bridge help files and links, forums, communities, google searches do not do is tell you how to fix what happens with the problem
    In general restarting Bridge holding down option key (in your case alt key) to choose reset preferences solves most problems.
    Here is a page from Adobe Support about Troubleshooting (although this states you should combine option/alt with cmd/ctrl but that is not needed)
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/317/317912.html
    I want to use Bridge batch rename to change jpegs into Mac PC compatible jpegs.
    Although I have the option for compatibility with Unix and Windows checked in my customized presets I'm not really aware of the need for that. If you have a .JPG or .jpg extension as the extension a Mac reeds and opens the file without problems. I am aware that as a Mac user I had the need to take care of Windows files in the past. Before OSX a Mac did not need an extension to recognize and open a file. Since OSX is Unix based the need to use an extension is there and also you should only use one dot (.) in the filename and that is before the extension at the end of the filename. Using spaces, commas etc is possible but not prefered. In basic, keep it simple (and short) and the file will open on all systems without problems.
    When you select a preset, the rename and preview buttons grey out. So I start all over...clear cache, check file permissions, restart/shutdown, etc
    That should not happen, presets and batch rename should be always available, even if you have only one file selected. You should start with the refreshing of the preferences. Deleting caches and checking file permissions are not needed every time for clearing prefs (although it is wise to maintain your system on a regular basis, but that is good for the use of all apps).
    On a Mac the user defined Batch Rename settings are saved in the user library / application support / Adobe/ Bridge CS5 / Batch rename setting. (not a single clue how that translate to windows but I have no reason to believe that such a file should not be present on your system.)
    Enter the term "batch rename" in the windows Bridge forum search and I got....ZERO results.
    Well, again a disappointment, there will be many result available in both Windows and Mac forum but it sure is not easy to find them
    The forum search option is next to useless. I believe you should try to switch to the main forum page or something, I once had a result but after so many tries I forgot how I managed this (combined with getting angrier every try...)
    I could really use some help because there is no way I can convert the number of files I have to make them compatible in MACs
    As stated before, if the are .jpg they are already compatible
    it used to be in CS 3 and 4 but since I "upgraded" to Production Premium suite 5.5 none of the version work.
    If you keep having problems you might consider the clean tool option to clear PSCS 3 and 4. Check also this KB article:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    It should be possible to use all CS versions on your system but you can have only one version of Bridge active at the time. Upgrading from a single CS to a Suite should also be possible without problems but sadly enough everything that should be possible without problems is often only happening in the ideal world...

  • It asks me to close CS5 Bridge. It is NOT open. Help.

    I am installing PS CS6 from the CD I purchased. I am told to close CS5 Bridge. It is not OPEN. Help.

    My apology. I thought it was a live “chat”, and I was also very frustrated.
    Yes, I am familiar with the working of Task Master, and I used it. It revealed that PS CS5 Bridge was NOT running. Can you tell me how to “get around” this problem?

  • CS3 actions to CS5

    I have a problem, I have just upgraded to CS5 photoshop from CS3.
    I want to use the custom actions I created in CS3 in CS5 photoshop but I'm unable to import them.
    I am no longer able to access or open my old version of CS3 and I have searched my hard drive extensively to find the original custom CS3 actions but no joy, Can anybody save me from this hell as I desperately need to use these asap!!!
    Regards
    Steve

    Re: CS3 actions to CS5
    Then I was probably wrong in assuming one could use that File that easily.
    Actually this was a good call to use Actions Palette.psp. Renaming it to .atn is where you went astray..
    One more possibility would be to (after making a copy of it for safety) replace the CS5 Actions Palette.psp with the one from CS3 – no 
    guarantees here either, though.
    According to Adobe's Chris Cox, who occasionally comments in this form, the method you suggested will in fact work.

  • Batch File Creation Problem CS5.5

    I am having an issue creating aep files on our farm using aerender in CS5.5.  We have a script that uses a template aep to generate a new file for various shots.  It works fine in CS4.  When I use the same script in CS5.5 it creates a file, but when you try to open it, it gives the following messages:
    After Effects warning: Reading past end of file
    After Effects error: strange situation [0/2].  (26 :: 84)
    At which point AE either crashes or leaves a blank file.
    However, if you try to import the same file, it works fine and everything appears as desired.
    If I run the same script through the CS5.5 UI (AfterFX.exe as opposed to aerender.exe) the file generated opens without issue.
    I also tried stripping out parts of the script to see if removing elements fixed the issue.  It did not - in fact I made a new script to try in batch mode that only saves a file.  This results in the the same
    After Effects warning: Reading past end of file
    but no errors, though I imagine that's because it's a blank project to begin with. 
    Here is the code for that script:
    function testBuild() {
        var saveMe = new File("//server/job/comp/dev/work/test/shot/file_test.aep");
        app.project.save(saveMe);
    We are using a slightly modified version of commandLineRenderer.jsx that allows extra flags to run pre-render scripts and submit without rendering.  I merged our custom edits with the version that ships with CS5.5 to ensure continuity.  Again, the script works in CS4 (even w/ the updated custom CS5.5 version of the commandLineRenderer.jsx).
    Here's the command that runs on the farm:
    aerender -s 1 -e 1  -norender -script //server/job/bin/dev/testBuild.jsx -command "testBuild()"  2>&1
    the -norender -script and -command flags were things we added to commandLineRenderer.jsx, -norender indicates not to render the project, -script gives the script to load and -command the command to run.
    The issue seems directly related to saving using aerender.exe in CS5.5 since everyting works correctly in CS4 and in the CS5.5 UI
    We are running Windows 7 64-bit.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Hi Johny,
    I forgot to come back to this thread, sorry.
    So it seems that the save file in noui batch do not complete his job, in fact, when you save your file in aepx (xml file) you could see the change between a NOUI file and an UI file, there is 3 lines missing, near the end :
    </Fold>
    <wsns bdata="XXXX"/>
    <wsnm bdata="XXXXXXXX"/>
    <string>Standard</string>
    <fcid bdata="XXXXX"/>
    <LSIf>
    If you add those three line in your .aepx (at the right place) you can open your file in Ae without any problem (I do not know what it refers too and you should get your own figures, in place of XXX).
    Moreover, I tried too to contact adobe support, but even if you suceed to reach them, they will tell you that the problem come from your script, even if it's quite obvious that the save option for noui do not complete his job.
    Hope it will help you and other members,
    Best Regards.

  • How to use one Assign action to create multiple context variables

    Hello, everyone.
    I read some tips from Oracle documentation that said:
    Avoid creating many OSB context variables that are used just once within another XQuery
    Context variables created using an Assign action are converted to XmlBeans and then reverted to the native XQuery format for the next XQuery. Multiple "Assign" actions can be collapsed into a single Assign action using a FLWOR expression. Intermediate values can be created using "let" statements. Avoiding redundant context variable creation eliminates overheads associated with internal data format conversions. This benefit has to be balanced against visibility of the code and reuse of the variables.
    Oracle® Fusion Middleware Performance and Tuning Guide
    +11g Release 1 (11.1.1)+
    Part Number E10108-03
    But I don't know how to do that. Can you show me ?
    Thank in advance
    Edited by: Doubt_Man on Aug 17, 2011 3:30 PM

    if you return sequences, you can declare the return type of your xquery as xs:double*
    (notice the asterix at the end)
    but I have the impression that in the assign action only the first element will be assigned to the context variable
    (correct me if I am wrong)
    So in fact you might indeed have to transform the sequence into a element()*, or concatenate it into a CVS string - for instance using string-join

  • Since upgrading to 4.0 and now 5.0 tabs do not have tab close buttons and I must use CNTL-W to close open tabs, what's the problem?

    Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 the close tab button, usually in the upper right corner of the tab has been missing. I have just recently upgraded automatically to 5.0 and the tab close 'X' button is still missing from all open tabs. The only way to close a tab is to click on it and use CNTL-W to close out the tab.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • How to make Title same as File name using Batch?

    I will be having hundreds of PDFs each month that will need info in the Tile field in Document properties. We create our PDFs from Quark using Distiller. I have found an option in the Batch process in Acrobat for editing the Document properties. Is there something I can enter in the title field that would instruct it to pull the file name as the title? I compare this to using &File in Word when instructing it to include the file name in the header area. Anyone know of any way to do this? I have seen multiple posts to the Acrobat forum regarding similar issues, but none with any responses as to how to accomplish this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    For this behaviour you're looking at a javascript ...
    For dumb population then use Batch Processing inside Acrobat ..

  • How to send an updated list using batch job

    Hi All,
      The program displays data on the screen, if the data looks ok, then there is an option to update.
    When I run update, the program submits a batch job and the basic list gets updated, but my batch job is still sending the data on the screen. how can i send the updated list using batch job.
      Ex: output of the program
                    1         2
           there is an update button on the screen, when i press update button, my program submits in batch job, the above list becomes
                    1        2
                    3        4
    but when i check the spool, it shows the o/p as         1           2 ..it is not sending the updated list.

  • All open windows lock up, cannot minimize/close, must use task manager to close everything

    I've been using Mozilla Firefox for a few years and love it. My home page is Google News, and Google is my chosen search engine. For the last three weeks, whenever I have Firefox/Google news open, then open another program, like Word, Quicken, maybe a downloaded game site, everything locks up - every single page including my Mozilla Firefox, my gmail account and whatever other page I have tried to open. I cannot minimize any screen, cannot X close any screen, this includes the original open Firefox Mozilla screens. The only way to be able to do anything on any screen is to use Task Manager to close the windows. My AVG protection runs scans every night. I have gone in and run my Malware protection program, another AVG scan, updated everything, flash players, run checks everywhere. Even ran a computer degrag, yet still the problem persists.
    What now? I am frustrated having to completely shut down all programs running with task manager before I can proceed with any program.

    I found that logging into Google Docs would lock it up EVERY TIME. So I disabled every one of the Add-Ons one at a time, and found the offending Add-On: Shockwave Flash 11.3.300.268. Disable that one and see if it solves your problem, it did mine.
    EDIT: Disabling this means you can't watch YouTube videos. The best fix is to do a search for Adobe's earlier versions of Flash. Uninstall Flash Player from your computer and reinstall an earlier version. I am successfully using 11.3.300.265.
