Was CS5 save-as action truncating filename bug fixed in CS6?

I've run into the Photoshop CS5 bug whereby an action with save-as truncates the filename (and adds " copy"). Can someone confirm for me whether this was fixed in CS6?
For the original bug, see for example:

Thanks,

Old thread, I know.
The reason I advised you to see for yourself is that I have no idea what issue or "bug" you were attempting to describe, as I have never, ever experienced any "truncated file names" myself; I'm very careful with file naming. That's what the trial versions are there for, so you can make sure the new application works as you expect it to or not.

It seems you lack the rights to change the file, so you may want to repair permissions.
Do you have administrator rights?

CS5 extended Export or Save an ACTION Help Please

I have created a couple of actions that a buddy of mine wants and I can find no way to export or save the action off so that I can email it to him. Can someone please tell me how to do this and is it even possible.

You need to highlight the action set not the action only action sets can ce saved if you highlight an action save action will not be an option it will be grayed out. I know you wrote you highlited the set make sure that is what you have done.

Cannot save as PDF - "Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use..."

I have a number of PSD files I've created and I'm trying to save them as PDFs.
I can Save for Web and Devices, I can save as a .gif, .eps., and every other format I've tested, but I cannot save as a PDF. I get the error:
"Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use or was left open by another application."
I'm running Adobe Master Collection CS5 with Photoshop CS 5.5 (12.0.4 x64) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
I have a 928 GB HD with 697 GB free.
I have rebooted and tried saving the files immediately after I reboot. I have killed my virus scanner. I have killed a number of other possible culprits including Acrotray.exe and CS5ServiceManager.ext
I have run Process Explorer as recommended by Microsoft and found no applications using the file. I've also tried saving the file to my external hard drive and/or renaming the file with only rare luck.
Nothing seems to fix it.
The boards seem to suggest Adobe isn't taking responsibility for this and pointing it back to the OS or other software. I'm willing to believe them if someone can show me how/where to kill whatever process it is - but at this point, all my indicators point back to Photoshop.

Here is a clip from a past post where user could not drag and drop files to hard drive.
To my great relief I have now sorted this issue and offer the following as the Correct Answer. My sincere and grateful thanks go to Curt and Yammer, above, who have helped me so much in sorting this Windows 7 issue which is clearly very relevant to Bridge users also. Any slowness to grasp what they have been saying is down to me!
The key to solving this issue lies is understanding that in terms of Windows 7 Security, every internal or external hard drive, plus folders, sub-folders and files thereon has an OWNER. Also each OWNER has a certain level of PERMISSION to do things such as moving files to a different folder, deleting or re-naming them etc. If you try to do things that you don't currently have Permission to do, that is when you get an ‘Access Denied’ error message. Also your system has an Admistrator or Administrators and at the outset you need to ensure through the Control Panel that you are listed as one of them. .
If, like me, you didn't realise these things, (and why would you if Microsoft or your computer or hard drive suppliers couldn't be bothered to really make sure you knew about them), then trying to fathom the ‘Access Denied’ problem becomes a stressful and frustrating nightmare as I can testify having spent a week at it!
The steps that I took to resolve the issue and which I believe now constitute the 'Correct Answer' are as follows:
First make sure that you have Administrator rights on your system via the Control Panel
Next ‘right click’ on the Drive whose files you want to gain full access to, for example the drive that your pictures are stored on, and click on 'Properties'.
Under the Security tab you will see a list of Groups and Users on this drive and the Permissions that they have to do things.
Before doing anything to edit these Permissions, first click on the Advanced button. This opens another window with a tab showing the Owner of this drive.
Click on the Owner tab and if you are not already listed as the owner, make yourself the owner by selecting your name from the list. I believe it should appear there if you are an admistrator or user. (In my case at this stage the owner was initially shown as an obscure string of numbers and letters which I believe identified the drive when it was connected to the lap top I was using before I upgraded my machine)
Now be sure to check the box that says "Replace Owner on Subcontainers and Objects" and the click Apply. On completion of this step, the drive in question and all the folders, subfolders and files thereon should now be 'owned' by you. You could check this out by right clicking on a particular folder then clicking Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner. Your name should appear. So far so simples!
Now go back to the Security Tab for your drive (Step 2 / 3 above) and look at the Permissions you currently have. Your aim now is to allow yourself 'Full Control.' If you don’t currently have this level of permission click Edit, select your name on the list, check ‘Full Control’ and 'Apply' the change.
I think I'm right in saying that at this point whilst still working in the Drive directory you are now given the option of ticking boxes which allow you to, in effect, cascade the permission you have just granted yourself to all the files and folders on that drive. Tick the box to allow this and Windows should then take care of the rest.If I'm not quite correct here then in my particular case, for example, all my images were stored on my external drive. The top level, or 'parent' folder in which all my pictures could be found was the 'My Pictures' folder and I had created a number of folders and subfolders ('child ' folders) within that folder. The permissions I gave to the Parent folder – My Pictures – were cascaded down through the Child folders.
On completion of the above step I tested the result in Windows Explorer by dragging a few files back and forth between folders and it now worked perfectly - I was now able to move / delete / rename etc all files without now getting the dreaded access denied message. What a sense of relief! This meant that I could now open Bridge normally rather than having to right click it and 'Run As Admistrator' - albeit that is a very useful thing to do until you get the problem sorted as described.

File path recorded with "Save As" Action is fixed?

I am trying to create an action that will save the open file to a JPG (Quality 9, Matte: None), always in the same folder that it came from, as it does when this is performed manually. (The preference to Save As to the Original Folder is enabled).
What I am finding is that when the action is recorded, the path to the folder at the time is fixed in the action, effectively rendering it useless for further saves of files opened in different folders.
Is it possible not to save a path when recording the Save As action or make it variable so that adopts the folder that would have been chosen had the command been invoked manually?
TIA, Joel.

So it looks like PS cannot automate a manual process in this case though it would be very desirable for it to do so and has all the information necessary for the task.
I may not quite follow as I browsed the thread rather superficially, but Scripting may be useful in this case.
You could try this JavaScript (save as a jsx-File in ExtendScript Toolkit into the application’s Scripts-folder).
But be warned: This would overwrite existing jpgs of the same name without prompting.
// saves jpg into same folder;
// be advised: this overwrites existing jpgs of the same name without prompting.
// 2010, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop;
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var thedoc = app.activeDocument;
// getting the name and location;
var docName = thedoc.name;
if (docName.indexOf(".") != -1) {var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1]}
else {var basename = docName};
// getting the location, if unsaved save to desktop;
try {var docPath = thedoc.path}
catch (e) {var docPath = "~/Desktop"};
// jpg options;
var jpegOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpegOptions.quality = 9;
jpegOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpegOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
//save jpg as a copy:
thedoc.saveAs((new File(docPath+'/'+basename+'.jpg')),jpegOptions,true);
//that’s it; thanks to xbytor;

Bug Fixes in CS5

Does anyone know where a list of CS5 bug fixes are? The new features sound nice, but I'm very interested in finding out if the things I experienced in CS4 that did not work are resolved. I had DV-AVI files from a client that were layered along with a few graphic layers that were all PDF files that keyed over the video layers. When I tried to preview the final project prior to writing to tape, the result was messed up. The watermark client logo in the corner would flash from it's semi-transparancy to full opaque and off during cross dissolves between video layers below (in a few places). Funny thing is it would play decent directly on the timeline, but that problem, and a few other issues, appear in the rendered version. I have the Matox Mini02 and this was a Matrox NTSC 480 sequence. At any rate, I cannot find a list of bug fixes anywhere. Know whre one is? Thanks.

I was trying to sell him up to CS5 (sans Matrox) ...and you dropped the ball on me
Hey thanks.
I think the community of creatives have really embraced CS5 as a whole and its doing really well. We could always use one more though...
Matrox is still a valued partner and I was noodling today with their CS5 compatible MXO2 solution where they accelerate some more effects. If you're just looking for performance though, the idea that you NEED hardware is probably a thing of the past. Many users are pretty blown away with what they're getting out of a well-equipped CS5 system.
All around, its good news for users and the creative community.

"Save for Web & Devices" Huge BUG and major annoyance!

Photoshop CS3
I am so tired of losing all of my work for this bug it isn't even funny! It doesn't lock up Photoshop but does make it impossible to save anything including all the currently cropped and resized images open in PS. It forces you to lose hours of work in some cases which is what just now happened and I want something done with this since it is probably the biggest annoyance from a BUG of all the adobe products ever.
To replicate this bug:
Open an image, any image.
Go to File and Choose "Save for Web & Devices".
Once the "Save for Web & Devices" dialog box is open choose save, BUT here is the bug, after the Save As dialog box appears choose cancel to go back to the open and now useless "Save for Web & Devices".
Attempt to now close the "Save for Web & Devices" dialog box.
The issue is it won't close once I cancel after choosing save from the "Save for Web & Devices" dialog. I cannot resize the window or do anything in PS when this happens since it takes complete focus. I cannot close the box or choose from most of the options on the right since now at this point they'll all be blank.
This has happened before and I had learned to save no matter what to avoid this but just forgot and am once again about to lose HOURS of work because of it...
I have searched and searched and cannot find a separate process to close in device manager to stop just it (which is lame). All I can do is close PS and say good bye to everything I had already done.
Of course I would like a solution to this and a fix but having owned Adobe products for years know this is highly unlikely and to get a fix you must buy the new version (pathetic). So, I will settle for yet another hopeful work around to get around this idiotic BUG.
EDIT: I have rebuilt my preferences countless times (since that seems to be needed for so many of Adobe's products issues) as well as complete resinstalls of the CS3 Production Premium Suite to no avail. I have dealt with this issue for several years and several new installs. I have an aviation forum and people have been able to replicate this on theirs installs as well, to include one CS4 user.

Thanks Noel, and others.
I have listened to people. In fact read my second post. It was seeing the 1st two that couldn't duplicate the error get on the phone to a friend in Germany that was able to duplicate it. I then came back here and shared what my suspicions were of the Matrox unit. The other person able to duplicate the issue has yet to return to the forum for me to further check with (I guess some people sleep).
To be clear here. I have owned CS3 since it's release. I have built myself several computers since I bought it and this one is actually the third since then. This particular issue though was never seen until a few months ago since I seldomly use the Save for Web for saving files and just started using it on my latest flash site.
As for video cards. This card I am using is my 3rd. My GTX 260 was great but being having other joys of the PC I also always kept up with the latest and greatest cards so thus came my last purchase of the GTX295 before the newer ones hit. Point being, the issue is most likely my Trip2GO and plan on testing when I get home and get it ripped apart. I do web design on the side which is one reason the trip2Go for my home workstation. The other point is that I do a LOT more than Adobe work and my card needs to be high end and not some cheap card just to make my suite work. Maybe in the future I'll make another comp,,, one for every other product I own and then one just for Adobe's products.
Now as for tech support and myself. I am A+ certified. I am certified in every OS since Dos 6 and a hardware engineer. I do tech support, have 3 support forums and 11 web site, all primarily based on support. My comments above were not about getting mean, it is because Adobe support in general is one of the worst that I have ever had the misfortune to deal with and strongly disagree with the way they cut support and updates to a year old product (that's when no more patches came out I meant and known bugs were written off for the next version). To say try a new video card to me is like a supposed "tech" to say reinstall your OS, or like here reading people say (what I originally said I did) about clearing the preferences. Sure, this help clear up lots of Adobe product abnormalities but listen up folks, it's not a SOLUTION, it is merely a work around. It shouldn't get so screwed up to begin with. This is not my product and although I have tried it, it is wrong to not fix these issues and just expect people to keep refreshing there preferences. It takes me hours and days to get things back the way I want them and normally half way to heaven another bug and I have to reset them yet again! This is us dealing with a broken product, period. It is far from a solution, there's a huge difference.
Moving along,,, This build is a few months old but my windows install is much more recent. All firmware, drivers you name it is up to speed 100% I guaruntee. My hardware is all working perfectly with the propable exception of the Matrox rig. It has to be it. Being that the 1st two people to reply in my own forum were able to immediately duplicate the error had me thinking other but as you should be able to see is that changed fast and if you read this thread from top to bottom you'll see that I have been providing all the answers people are asking.
Thanks again, I'll report back tonight. My current plan is to go through the painful process of getting just one monitor working without the Matrox unit, flushing my preferences and trying again. I think it will work fine but will report back either way.

PhotoShop CS5 - Save As Won't Window

I am on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1 and running PS CS5 12.0.4. When saving a file using 'Save As' I can no longer "window" the screen image, it always opens "full-screen" and can't be resized. I can see the hash-marks in the lower right-hand corner, but they disappear after trying to resize the window.
Double-click the picture to see full size:
Both Illustrator CS5 and InDesign CS5 'Save As' dialogue windows can be resized, it's just happening with PS CS5. I tried opening PS with CTRL+ALT+Shift to reset the preferences file, but it didn't fix the problem.

When saving a file using 'Save As' I can no longer "window" the screen image, it always opens "full-screen" and can't be resized.
Does that mean that it did work, but now does not?
If it used to work, then something has changed. The trick is to find out what it was.
First thing that I check, whenever I have a GUI display issue, is whether there is an update for my video adapter's driver. PS interfaces more closely with the video driver, than some other programs. Simple things, such as OS updates, can render a video driver obsolete, and can cause all sorts of issues. What make/model card do you have? What is the number/date of your installed video driver?
Hope that it is as simple as going to the ATI/AMD, or nVidia Web site, and downloading, then installing a new driver.
Good luck,

Data Set Save As Action

I'm working on learning how to use variables in AI so I can do variable pieces with fancier design layouts than I can do in InDesign. I've gotten through creating XML files, learning how to run scripts, writing a script to convert an excel XML file to an Illustrator Data Set, and loading and reviewing the multiple sets. One last problem. When I create the Save As action, even though I select the Data Set name as the naming convention, it keeps saving each data set as the same file name I created the action with (causing me to have only one file output). If I select the Override Action commands button, it does save with the proper names, but errors out if I've set it to save as PDF, and if I've got it set to save as EPS, the output files don't have an extension, so I would have to go through each one and add the extension before I can open or combine into a multi page pdf.
Any ideas on where I'm going wrong? I just created a new action, recorded going to Save As, and saved the file, which is sweet since it saves with all the proper settings (bleed etc.). I've tried setting the action by using the Insert Menu Item command, but that just runs an action where I would have to name each file and select the Save As options.

You can use "Save Copy" instead of "Save As", which will keep your extension, but you must take care not to rename the file in any way when it is saved using this method for the purpose of recording a saving action.

Save an Action to file

Hi. I've got Photoshop CS4 and have created an action. However, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to save the action to a file so I can share it with others. The action converts a PSD to JPG and exports it for the web. How do you save an action so you can share it? I don't want to share all of my actions -- just this one. Thanks.

I figured it out: You need to create a "New Set...", drag and drop the action into that, then select the new action set and click "Save Actions..." This will save the custom action to an *.atn file.

Double menu's in photoshop CS5 save as menu

Hi,
my photoshop CS5 save dialog menu shows double ups of some of the file formats.
2 BMP's, 2 compuserve gif's, 2 PNG's.
I have torn my hair out going through the Photoshop CS5 folder, but cant find the plug-ins any where.
can anyone give me a clue as to where they are hiding so I can get rid of them.
regards, Sandy

Hi, yes sounds right EXCPEPT...
have vetted ALL my photoshop plug-ins, nothing there.
external plug-in folder , been though that. only my Nik plug-in & filters there, and nothing hidden in them...
have used 'find file' program (that will look everywhere even in system files, found nothing.
there are two folders in ~library-application support-adobe-
that are for CS3 and CS4, un installed from my hard disk now I use CS5, but no plug-ins in there that could do that there either.
(wonder if I should delete these folders.??)
have also used 'file buddy' to look for any duplicates... nothing found (except a lot of image files)
so back to square one.. the enigma/puzzle continues...
appreciate your thoughs and help.
by the way, I have never ever been able to find where the Targa plug in is either to get rid of it, as I dont use that and would like to shorten the menu.
no luck in searching for that, which makes me think that adobe have either made them 'invisible' in a folder, or built all into an unknown file/plug-in.?!?!?
regards
Sandy

Well, I created a new Apple ID and I put money on it, I wanted to sign into ICloud and it wouldn't let me sign in due to the usage of too many Apple IDs created. The point for logging into the ICloud was to save my photos before I reset my phone.

Well, I created a new Apple ID and I put money on it, I wanted to sign into ICloud and it wouldn't let me sign in due to making too many Apple IDs created. The point for logging into the ICloud was to save my photos before I reset my phone. Is there any way I could fix this? I also want to transfer my money because I think it's a waste to just forget about the $13.75 on my account. Thanks.

I recently created a new apple ID
Bad idea.
Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.
