Watch folder found a new file

Watch folder found a new file and this is what my picture looks like in PSE13. It looks fine in my other photo programs but no image here. Just started doing this yesterday.

Hi luv2digiscrap,
It will be helpful if you answer following queries.
- Is this happening with all files imported using Watch Folder since yesterday. or,
- if it is happening with any specific file type what is that file format.
Thanks,
Raushan

Creating AppleScript That Watches a Folder and Adds New Files to iTunes

Is it possible to create a AppleScript that watches a folder and automatically adds any new files placed into the folder to my iTunes library?

Probably. You can take a look through Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes and see if there's anything pre-existing you could use or modify.
An alternative might be Hazel which says it can do that. It's not free, but if it works it would probably be a lot easier.

Watch Folder to Overwrite Sequence Files? – Templated Project with Custom Images

So I want users to be able to upload an image to my server, have it added to a video, and rendered out and served to them. Simple right? Maybe my workflow needs adjustment:
I have a project saved with an image sequence render queued, and a subsequent movie file render (of the image sequence) queued and collected. (the image sequence is to utilize multi-machine rendering because of intense effects, etc.) When a user uploads an image, the server duplicates this template-project collected folder. The project has a placeholder image that is replaced by the user's uploaded image (into the footage folder). The server then drops it all in a watch folder for multi-machine rendering. The sequence renders and the movie renders just fine! All good.
The only PROBLEM is that when the second instance comes along, "skip existing files" is checked (by necessity to use the multi-machine function) and therefore just keeps the existing image sequence without overwriting. Every instance of the project is just a duplicate, and so has the same target path for the image sequence. So the subsequent movie file comes out the same as the first.
So how can I either:
1) force overwriting the image sequence
2) automate unique directories for each image sequence render – without physically opening the project to specify a different target path
-or- 3) move/delete the image sequence folder AFTER movie render, but BEFORE another watch folder render (considering multiple queued projects in the watch folder at once).
An ideas?? Thanks!!!

> So is there a way to automate importing the image sequence through aerender and tell it to render a movie?
Are you familiar with post-render actions? They exist to do this kind of thing.
Here's a relevant excerpt from After Effects Help:
http://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/basics-rendering-exporting.html#post_render_act ions
"Use the Import & Replace Usage option to create a chain of dependent render items. For example, you can set one render item to use a watch folder and multiple computers to create a still-image sequence, and then the next render item can render a single movie file from that still-image sequence"

Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process.

Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process. I have a client application which will prepare number of source files and some meta data information (in .XML) which will be used in header/footer. Is it possible to put a run time generated DDX file in the watch folder and use it in Process. If possible how can I pass the file names in the DDX. Any sample Process will be very helpful.

If possible, make use of Assembler API in your client application instead of doing this using watched folder. Here are the Assembler samples : LiveCycle ES2.5 * Programming with LiveCycle ES2.5
Watched folder can accept zip files (sample : Configuring a watched folder to handle multiple input files and write results to a single folder | Adobe LiveCycle Blog ). You can also use execute script to create the DDX at runtime : LiveCycle ES2 * Application Development Using LiveCycle Workbench ES2

Pickup and process zip file in watch folder

Hi,
Could someone refer me to an example where it shows me how to use Java script in the Execute Script service to do the following:
- Pickup the zip file from the Watch Folder
- Unzip the zip file
- Loop through all the folders, look for the documents and store them in the list document variable in the process
Thank you in advance for the help!

You can certainly remove that file. it's basically the cached applet demo.jar (the JRE caches the downloaded jars so that you don't have to keep re-downloading them each time you visit the web site).
The fact that your Antivirus complains about it just means that it's confused. We're all using the Sun environment, and I have the latest and greatest Norton, and there are no complaints, so it's clear that your Antivirus software needs a fix.

How distiller processing PS file through Watch folder

We had an issue with Acrobat Distiller 9.
We use to create watched folder for every project in Distiller. A single distiller is having more than 30 watched folder.
Just wanted to check how distiller watched folder works:
1. Is the distiller pickup PS file as alphabetical wise?
2. Is the distiller pickup PS file as priority when hitting the folder?
3. Is the distiller pickup PS file as time wise?
We had an experience the PS file has picked up as alphabetical wise? Is this right?
I need to understand whether the watched folder should pickup the file based on the time?
Kindly clarify.
JA

I'm assuming this isn't the discontinued Distiller Server product...
Distiller is for low volume personal (single user) use, so Adobe have no documentation and no interest in tuning the performance of multiple queues.
Since each end user MUST have an Acrobat license you might as well set them up individual queues on their own PCs.

Print PDFs using watched folder

Hi,
I am new to Adobe livecycle. I created webservice which generates PDFs in a folder. I want to set that folder as a watch folder and want to print PDFs generated in specific interval. Basically it should figure out if there are any new PDFs and print it to the network printer. I could able to figure out how to set up a watch folder using existing services as a endpoint for watch folder, but none of the exixting services serves exact purpose of printing PDFs from folder. So I am stuck. How should I proceed? Can I create my own process and register it and use it as a end point for watched folder? If yes then how?
Can somebody help me?
Thanks!

Everything is a service in LiveCycle so, yes, generatePrintOuput is a service.
You can create a new process with Workbench (e.g. TestPrint). Then add the generatePrintedOutput step and a print step (from the Output category). Then save and activate your new process. This will become a new service (TestPrint) which you can add an watchfolder endpoint to.
Then drop the file in the watch folder for that new service (TestPrint) and the service will call generatePrintedOutput and print.

Watch folder

Hi,
I would be grateful if you could help me write javascript script that watch specific folder for new files and add them to photoshop.
Thank You,
Ivan

My 'sistem' is now working like this:
Directory Monitor free software watch folder for change, when file(photo) is added to folder Direct Monitor open it in Photoshop.
On file open Script Events Manager triggers script that recognize type of photo(landscape or portrait orientation, other stuff) and do different Actions based on type of photo. It is all automated.
But there are some 'special cases' that needs to be done manualy, and I want to do it by putting 'special case photo' in different folder. Photoshop needs to recognize photo from different folder and do special action on it. Problem is that Directory Monitor only open files, and Photoshop can't recognize if photos are from different folders of not.
I want to 'bypass' Directory Monitor and watch folders with Photoshop Script.

Default New File Type In Files Panel

Hello...in DW CS5, when I right click on a directory in my local root folder and select New File, the default extension for the new file is php. The default new document type in the Preferences dialog box is html. Doesn't the Preferences dialog box new document type define the default extension when I right click to create a new file in the Files Panel? Thanks for any help.

Randy,
I set the server model to "None" as you suggested and the default extension when I right click to create a new file in the Files Panel matches up with the default in the Preferences diaolg box.
Thanks for the help!

Message "New files found in your watched folder".

I keep getting a message "New files found in your watched folder". But it shows me old files. If I say I want to download them, it tells me it cannot.
PE 11 Windows 7

Watch folders is a function of the Elements Organizer, it has nothing to do with the Editor half of the program.
Do you want to use Watched Folders? If not, disable them by going to File > Watch Folders, then uncheck the "Watch Folders and their Sub-Folders for New Files" option. If you want to use the option, try creating a new folder and set that up as the watched folder and place your images there. The Watch Folders option can get messed up if the folder has images already in it when it is set up.

Photoshop 8 Organiser Query Lost 'New Files Found' facility

I installed Photoshop Elements 8 yesterday having been very happy with Photoshop 5 until the 8 offered faciliteis that I wished to use.
However I used to drag photos into a folder on my hard drive using Photoshop 5 version and when I opened Organiser it would tell me "New files have been found do you want to etc etc".
I no longer get that invitaion with PhotoshopElements 8 so can someone please very simply tell me how to restore that useful facility.
I am elderly and unfamiliar with computers hence the request for simple instruction ie click by click please.
Thank you.

How do I change the default save location for new files in Pages back from iCloud to my Documents folder?

I just upgraded OSX to Mountain Lion and Pages to 4.2, and because OSX is syncing with my iCloud account, when I go to save a new file in Pages it defaults to try to save to my iCloud account rather than giving me the folder structure on my hard-drive that I prefer. It requires two extra steps to save to the proper place in my Documents folder on my hard drive.
Is there a way to reset the default so that when I go to save a new file, the folder structure opens to the last saved folder (like it does in other non-iCloud applications) rather than defaulting to my iCloud, and to do it without just removing documents from my iCloud account entirely?
I checked the Preferences for both Pages and iCloud and found nothing about this.

What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

Error running exe to write to exel file: Error 7 New file not found

Hello!I have this problem, i've looked everywhere and i still can't solve it. It would be great if anyone can help me.
I built an application that writes an array to a spreadsheet file.
Everything works fine in Labview 7.1 , i can build the exe file, but
when i try to run it it doesn't work (it doesn't do anything although
in Labview works perfecty well)and i have this error:
<<Error 7 occurred at New File; Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or
deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the
operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, :
on Mac OS, and / on UNIX.>>
I've attached the vi file and the exe file.
Thank you

You've made a very, very common mistake and one discussed in numerous postings. When running in development mode and using the Current VI's Path, the path to a VI would be something like c:\folder\example.vi. When built, it becomes c:\folder\app.exe\example.vi. An extra strip path is required. Look at this, this, and this.
