Workflow Only Opens First File of a Group

I'm trying to get my workflow to open a group of .mpg files. It looks like it should do it, but only the first of the group opens. Here's what's in the workflow:
Get Current Webpage from Safari
Get Link URLs from Webpages
Download URLs (to a folder called 'Movies')
Get Folder Contents
Filter Finder Items (whose file type is HTML files)
Move to Trash
Get Specified Finder Items ('Movies' folder)
Get Folder Contents
Open Finder Items (with default application)
I have placed the View Results action after Get Folder Contents and all the files show up there. It's just a question of the Open Finder Items action not performing properly, it seems. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Max

First, you can simplify the workflow by using a Filter URLs after the Get Link URLs and then do away with the whole GFC,FFI,MTT,GSFI,GFC-
So your workflow would be:
Get Current Webpage from Safari
Get Link URLs from Webpages
Filter URLs
DownloadURLs
Open Finder Items
Now, since these are .mpg files- are they opening in QuickTime or something else?

Need to restrict triggering of workflow only once(first time).

Hi guys,
I hv a requirement to trigger the workflow only once(first time).
whatever is the the condition/changes in document, it should not trigger for second time.
do we hv any options available for this........
thanks in advance...

Hi susan,
Below is the requested information,
Release : ECC 6.0
we are working on custom WF for ECO creation(CC01).
Description,
ECO is created in SAP by legacy system, thru bapi CCAP_ECN_CREATE, the WF will take the editing of the material in that ECO to different departments like MRP, accounting, sales,quality etc.... & respectively creates the views.
we cannot use CREATE event, bcos first the ECN(CC01) is created by bapi & further bapi creates the material & inserts it into ECN again, which is CHANGING the document. once this is done, our WF should trigger.
As we dont have CHANGE event in ECM BO, i am using CREATE event & settting it for ON CHANGE in SWEC t-code.
Bottomline is , it is triggering as soon as any changes happens.
But, we want it to restrict for one time triggering.
Regards.

Can only open .indd files within InDesign CS6

I am using InDesign CS6 (cloud version) on Windows XP. I can only open .indd files by opening InDesign CS6, doing File>Open, and then browsing for the file.
If I try to go to the folder where the .indd file is located (without opening InDesign CS6), and double-click on it, it acts like it doesn't know what kinf of file it is.
Another co-worker of mine is experiencing the same thing on Windows 7.
Does anyone have suggestions on what to try to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Uninstall, run the clean tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), and reinstall. The symptoms you describe are typical if the icon handler .dll file is damaged.
Try turning off your anti-virus and spyware scanners, and anthing else not required to run the system before you reinstall.

Photoshop Action That Only Opens One File Type

I want to create an action that only opens one particular file type, performs some changes to it, then finds all the others of that file type. I can do everything else and use the Image Processor to run it, but I can't find any way to tell the action to only open .GIF files and ignore everything else. Am I just missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Andacar

See this post about the Picture Processor:

Another possibilty besides perhaps using a script, is if you have the latest photoshop cs6 version from the cloud, which allows conditional actions.
However, since i'm not on the creative cloud i don't know, but maybe someone else that does have the cloud version can comment.
added: doesn't appear so for the new conditionals

Selecting the first file from a group of opened files in Photoshop

Hi, I've been digitizing microfiche with 200 or so pages photographed onto one image file, laid out in a grid pattern. I've been using actions in Photoshop to cut out one page, create a new file in Photoshop from that page, then return to the first, master file and do it again with the next page in the series. So when it is complete I have each individual page as an individual image file which I then save with a batch process. I've been doing this for a while and have managed to make it work but I always run into the problem, when creating this action again, of getting Photoshop to select that first master file each time instead of selecting just the previous file. I know I can get it to select the previous file, or the previous file -1, -2, -3, etc. I've somehow been able to get this to work in the past by creating an action that selects a large enough group back, like previous file -19 or something, and through some bug or sheer luck it has worked and will always select that first file. But it doesn't always work and it always takes some frustration to luck into it when it does. Now I can't seem to get it to work at all. Is there a straightforward way I can simply tell it to select the first file everytime? If not, does anyone know how or why the method I used previously sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, and how I can make it work again? I'm using PS CS5 in Windows 7. Thanks!

Just put this code on a file and put that 'namedfile.jsx' inside the scripts folder on photoshop.
Open or re-open photoshop to load the script and create an action linked to a shortcut selected by you and save this script going to File>Scripts>namedfile.jsx
It is just to press the shortcut key and the active image go back to the image opened before.
When it is the first one it runs the script the same but it remains there.
Here is the script:
// Go back to the previous opened image
#target photoshop
// Go back to the previous opened image (not the previous viewed) . If it is the first, it remain there.
if(documents.length>0) {
    var thisIndexImage = getActiveDocumentIndex();
    var theDocs = app.documents;
    if ( thisIndexImage != 0 ) {
        var flatAnterior = theDocs[thisIndexImage - 1];
        } else {
        var flatAnterior = theDocs[0];
    app.activeDocument = flatAnterior;
} else {
    alert ("You must have opened images to run this script.")
// Get the active document number - the number of opening order
function getActiveDocumentIndex(){
     var ref = new ActionReference();
     ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
     return desc = executeActionGet(ref).getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('itemIndex'))-1;
If you want to go directly to the first of all the images (in opening order) it is simpler:
Just create this script:
var first = app.documents[0];
app.activeDocument = flatAnterior;

QT Pro 7.6 image sequencing aperture exports - only reads first file

I'm exporting versions (jpg) of files that are originally Nikon raw (NEF) format.
I'm testing with a bunch of images that were grabbed using the camera's continuous mode - want to make sure the system works before doing any real playing with time lapse.
I have a folder with the images - all named image01.jpg, image02.jpg etc etc. No other files in the folder.
Open QT Pro 7.6 - choose Open Image Sequence and select the first image.
It asks for the frames per second.
Whatever i pick - it creates a single frame movie with the first image in the set.
I've tested with two different exports - same issue.
Any hints?

OK - tried this.
For a short test - I have 22 files.

Now - when they were called image01, image02 etc I got a 1sec movie with only the first image.
Now - with these names - I get a movie of the correct duration (so - for example - 2 frames a sec yields an 11 sec movie) but with only the first shot shown (in other words I get to see the first jpg for 11 secs in the 2/s example.
The file command tells me that they are "JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01"

I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

It's not an apple solution but you can try MailRaider by 45 RPM software. I have not used it personally but it was one of the hits that came up when I did a google search for .msg on Mac.
Hopefuly the link posts but if not then just head over to macupdate and do a search for MailRaider

Pages only opens first page

My Pages app on my iPhone 5s only opens the first page of my multi-page documents... any thoughts?

I now have the latest versions of Pages (5.2) on my Macbook Pro, and still no help in opening more than the first page of a two-column multi-page document. I appreciate the iWork team contacting me via email for more information, but this was pretty embarrassing today as I tried and failed to open a script we've been working on with my client at a meeting without success.
Pages has significant potential, and I'm looking forward to the time when I won't need Word installed on my gear.

Why does Apple say that Numbers can open and save Excel files, when in actuality, it can only open .XLSX files and only Export to Excel (not save-as excel)?

When attempting to open .XLS files in Numbers, the format is not recognized. When the format is .XLSX, the format is recognized. Why is it this way? It's still much more common for folks to have the .XLS file format on their excel files. Why would Numbers not be backwards-compatible?
Additionally, to state in the benefits of this program that one can save to 'Excel' is a little misleading. You can't save to anything except .numbers. Sure, you can export to Excel (with file extension .XLS, I might add), but you can't save or save-as.
Does anyone else see the irony in being able to export to .XLS but not be able to open an .XLS?
There is something to be said for clarity.
You can't expect folks to have Numbers and Excel on their systems, so how else are they supposed to open .XLS files in Numbers?
And I don't need to see another advertisement for NeoOffice or OpenOffice here, thanks. I'd actually like Numbers to be a little more sensible.
That is all.

When the advertisements were written, there was no Lion so we were able to Save As Excel.
At thiqs time there is no longer Save As command under Lion but the feature is always available.
When your editing task is ended, you are free to use this scheme:
File > Duplicate
File > Save and in the dialog you will have the option save as Excel.
Numbers isn't and I hope that it will not become an Excel editor.
Its resources contain a flag defining it this way.
I posted several times a script editing this resource.
This morning I'm not in a mood allowing me to do your duty.

Create Automator workflow to open Excel file

Hi,
First time using Automator and a little confused. Can anyone help me to create this workflow? I'd like to:
Required
=========
1. Connect to our Xserve
2. Browse through our directory structure to a particular folder
3. In that folder will be an Excel file
4. Open the Excel file on my machine
Nice to have additional actions
===============================
5. Assign the Excel file to a particular window in Spaces
6. Save the Excel file in the same folder as a new file with today's date in the filename (i.e. Spreadsheet - 25th Oct.xls)
7. Move the existing Excel file into a new folder in the same directory (already exists, is called OLD)
This process is currently manual for 4-5 spreadsheets each day and it would be nice to click a couple of buttons and get it all done automatically for me
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I could probably work this out but it might take a while. I did something similar having iTunes open with a specific playlist selected.
In the meantime try the following and see if Automator lets you see the app that you had built previously:
1. Find the self-contained app that you created (not an alias).
2. Drag your app onto the icon that launches Automator.
I discovered that little trick a while ago by accident. I just tried it again a few minutes ago and it seems to still work.

Why does Pages ask me to save changes when I only open a file and print it?

I have documents that I open regularly but only want to print (and not make changes to). But, even if I open them and do nothing other than print them, Pages prompts me to save changes when I close the file. Why is this?
If I've had the document open for a while, I'm always concerned that maybe I've made changes that I want to save and forgotten.

But it always, always, always ignores it, fruhulda. That's what I'm saying. A brand new document on a brand new computer with a fresh install of iwork, and the same thing happens. Every time I open it and print--Do you want to Save? Do you want to Save?
For instance, I have a contract form I use regularly and I get that every.single.time even though I always use the same printer, and have hardly ever used the printer that pages has chosen as my default printer (a medium format inkjet with archival ink that costs far too much to use for things like correspondence). It is not my default printer in OS X, incidentally. No matter how many times I tell Pages to save the information about the printer, it will not. And I also get the same nag on the rare occasions when I do use the printer that pages has chosen (usually by mistake because I forgot to change it in the print dialog).
Perhaps this is a localization-specific bug and that's why you don't see it.
EDIT And most oddly, it happens just the same in lion with the current version of pages, which I would have thought should have autosaved that change without asking me about it.

Office Web Apps only opens some file types

I have a Office Web Apps (WCA) 2013 UAT environment that is connected to my UAT SharePoint 2013 farm. I can preview a lot of document types in Office Web Apps but other I get an error. For example pptx gives me the error "Sorry, PowerPoint
Web App ran into a problem opening this presentation. To view this presentation please open it in Microsoft PowerPoint".
All the excel file types work as does *.doc files. *.docx files fail.
I can't find any logging information in my ULS or event viewer logs.
Background: The OS on all servers is Windows 2008 R2, the OWA/WCA farm uses allowHttp as I will be behind a hardware load balancer. The issue is not to do with SSL or SSLoffload as most file types open.
The SPWOPIBinds look correct to me: Fails for the docx binding below
Application     : Word
Extension       : DOCX
ProgId          :
Action          : attend
IsDefaultAction : False
ServerName      : OWA-UAT.DEMO.LOCAL
WopiZone        : internal-http
Works for this WOPIBinding
Application     : Word
Extension       : DOC
ProgId          :
Action          : interactivepreview
IsDefaultAction : False
ServerName      : OWA-UAT.DEMO.LOCAL
WopiZone        : internal-http
Any ideas?

By default, there are 8 bindings for DOCX. Do you see any other bindings available?

Win7 64 bit, FF 3.6.12, Acrobat Reader 9, can only open pdf file if I run FF as an administrator. Will not open if FF is run as a standard user.

If I run FF in a standard user account (non-admin) pdf files will not open. If I start FF in the standard user account but right-click FF and "run as administrator" the same pdf file will now open fine.

( links in emails )
this is what fixed my issue with links in my windows live mail
in Firefox go to tools >options >advanced > general tab > at the bottom click the check now button to make sure Firefox is your default browser . if its not click yes to make it default now your links in emails should open in Firefox properly
