Choose a folder
Hi all..
You need to set a variable when it displays the number of files in a folder in a dialog box?
I tried the following: -.
count file in the folder (choose folder) display dialog "Today is: " & (current date) & ". " & "You have : " & {count file} & " files within this folder." with title "Useful Information"
Here:
display dialog "today is:" & (current date) & "." "." "&" You: "" & (count the files in the folder (choose the folder)) & "files in this folder." with the title "useful information".

So far, I am able to choose a path, but not the back. I use LV2010. Is there some vi that I did not find which allows you to access a folder instead of choosing a file?
I want the user to choose the folder to save the files to the beginning of the program, and then the program will create a file with a time stamp and the data read. So the first part is missing
Hi Livermor,
Thanks for the quick response.
On the "userid_path_subvi.vi" go to the block diagram.
If you click on the 'Record' control that you have created--> properties--> select "files" under "selection Mode".
Hope that helps!

CS6 download - choose another folder
Now I need help. Try to download from Adobe CS6 using download defalult settings.
Any folder I selected on my computer, it says "try again and choose another folder".
My dirve downloads is the first option and has 22 free concerts. Drive C has 317 free concerts.
The default selection was Curt (C drive) and that no longer works.
Win7
What I don't understand is why Adobe cannot just provide links for people to download directly through the browser. They say that these "Download Assistant" are supposed to make the process of downloading more smoothly, but here we see how this complicates the process isn't really accomplish that goal.

Click Start-> computer. Navigate to where you want to create the new folder. Then, hold down the ALT key and press F. Point again-> file and click folder.

How to choose which folder to update
Created a registration form updated in dreamweaver cs5, in the form that I created a dynamic list that the user selects point to be updated however rest of the form displays only the default registration data any item is selected in the drop-down list.
How to get the data to change to point match what the user selects from the list and that point will be updated and not the default item
kennyhp
OK, the DW server behaviors will do that for you - you'll need this code to hand. Essentially, your page has two forms. One to submit a query whose results will be repopulate the form fields and another to send the update form. And of course your page needs additional code that evaluates which form has been submitted and takes the appropriate action. Or, you can use AJAX if you don't want the entire page to reload.

can I convert the option to choose in applescript in Automatic Configuration of the action folder
Hello
H I have an applescript script that is a sort of an image file and fix it to the sage according to uniqueness of the folder names.
In this script I choose the folder option, but I want to convert the option into action automatically as a file configuration. as
on the addition of items in folder to this_folder after receiving of these_items
Here's my script
d choose the game folder
_main ({d})
on _main (argv)
o script
property ff: {} - list of aliases
property gg: {} - list aliases to be moved by prefix
nn property: {} - list of file names
mm property: {} - list of prefixes
property mm1: {} - separate prefix list
Repeat the operation with d in the argv - by source directory table
d to g-d content of the kit
-retrieve the list of aliases and names for document files
Tell application "Finder".
say g-d document files to set point {ff, nn} to {it as list of alias, the name}
tell the end
Try
value {astid0, delimiters of point for the AppleScript text} {of AppleScript point text delimiters {'_'}}
Repeat with i from 1 to count my nn
the value {n, m} {my point nn i, ' "}
If (count of n textual elements) > 1 then set m ' "& n text items 1 thru-2
put end my mm m
If m ≠ "" and m is not my mm1 then put end my mm1 m
end repeat
the text value of the point astid0 delimiters AppleScript
errors errs errn number
the text value of the point astid0 delimiters AppleScript
error number errn errs
try to end
Repeat with m in my mm1 - with separate prefix
m to m content of the kit
-prepare the destination for this prefix
Try
Set dst as string d & e & ': ' as an alias
There is no error number-43 - dst
Tell application "Finder" to set the dst (make new folder d with properties {name: m}) as alias
try to end
Repeat with i from 1 to count my mm
If my mm point i = m and establish the end of my gg to my ff I
end repeat
If gg ≠ {} then tell application "Finder" to move the gg in dst with the replacement
Gg to {} set
end repeat
end repeat
end of script
say o to run
end _main
so if support convert this script for folder action script please help to do.
Thank you
Rakesh
You just need to provide multiple ways to call your manager, for example:
on run -- application double-clicked or run from the Script Editor set d to choose folder _main({d}) end run on open droppedItems -- items dropped onto droplet _main(droppedItems) end open on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items -- folder action _main(these_items) end adding folder items to on _main(argv) -- main routine -- whatever end _main

I have a problem with the "Bookmarks" tab Before I reinstalled windows after a crash, I could click on the Bookmarks tab to save a site go to choose a folder and a place that some of the site in a specific folder. Now it does not; When I type choose that it does nothing.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

Hi all
very new to scripting and I'm just kinda stuck.
I made a script that works, but I want to refine even more to make it more user-friendly.
When the script starts, it asks the user to choose a folder where their images, but there are two problems with that.
First of all as the default dialog box the DESKTOP folder and the user accidentally press OK, the script will take action even if it is an incorrect location.
Secondly there is no exit procedure if uses rather press CANCEL in the dialog box.
I'm trying to implement a fail-safe, so the end-user will have feedback that is when pressing OK a popup asking the user if the folder "x" corresponds to the correct location and give a YES/NO dialog - YES go - PERSON will go back to the file selection screen.
Also, I need to make the script exit cleanly if the user selects the button CANCEL on the file selection screen.
Here is a snippet of my code as it is:
// Ask user for DARK input folder alert("Please Choose The Folder Where Your DARK Frames are located.", "DARK FRAME FOLDER LOCATION"); var DARKinputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("****Please Select The Folder Where Your DARK FRAMES Are Located****"); // Ask user for LIGHTS input folder alert("Please Choose The Folder Where Your LIGHT Frames are located.", "LIGHT FRAME FOLDER LOCATION"); var LIGHTSinputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("****Please Select The Folder Where Your LIGHT FRAMES Are Located****"); // ***HANDLE THE DARK FRAMES*** // get all files in the DARK input folder var FILE_TYPE = ".orf"; // The type of files that this script works on -- you can change var SEARCH_MASK = "*" + FILE_TYPE; // Image file filter to find only those files var DARKfileList = DARKinputFolder.getFiles(SEARCH_MASK); if (DARKfileList.length <= 0) { var FILE_TYPE = ".tif"; // The type of files that this script works on -- you can change var SEARCH_MASK = "*" + FILE_TYPE; // Image file filter to find only those files var DARKfileList = DARKinputFolder.getFiles(SEARCH_MASK); } if (DARKfileList.length <= 0) { var FILE_TYPE = ".tiff"; // The type of files that this script works on -- you can change var SEARCH_MASK = "*" + FILE_TYPE; // Image file filter to find only those files var DARKfileList = DARKinputFolder.getFiles(SEARCH_MASK); } if (DARKfileList.length <= 0) { var FILE_TYPE = ".jpg"; // The type of files that this script works on -- you can change var SEARCH_MASK = "*" + FILE_TYPE; // Image file filter to find only those files var DARKfileList = DARKinputFolder.getFiles(SEARCH_MASK); } if (DARKfileList.length <= 0) { var FILE_TYPE = ".jpeg"; // The type of files that this script works on -- you can change var SEARCH_MASK = "*" + FILE_TYPE; // Image file filter to find only those files var DARKfileList = DARKinputFolder.getFiles(SEARCH_MASK); }
Any help would be appreciated
Kind regards..
There was a typing error in the above code. You put it ';' is not fair. I put a hat i because, if it's bad. The code should be:
var myFolder = new Folder('/c/test'); var holdFolder = new Folder() var dlg = new Window('dialog','Select a Folder'); dlg.getTheFilesBtn = dlg.add('button',undefined,'Select a folder'); dlg.getTheFilesBtn.onClick = function(){ holdFolder = new Folder(myFolder); holdFolder = Folder.selectDialog('select a folder to process',myFolder); if(holdFolder){myFolder = holdFolder}; dlg.close(); } dlg.show()

Am new to scripting and am creating a batch script automate .idml CS5 to CS4 .inx. I found that a few there close enough scripts that I can edit, but they all include the same variable to select the folder for the files to be processed. Even when I put the ("//server/directorypath/folder") in place, it nevertheless opens the popup to "choose" the folder I just told him to go. Ultimately what I need is a place people can put their files of .idml on the network and, thanks to a record of action run the script from a machine dedicated with CS4, spit the .inx they need. I understood how to turn indd dialogue/alerts on and outside, but not this one!
How can I make the "var = myFolder" be a fixed location? Everything I try seems to create an exception later in the script
myFolder var is Folder.selectDialog ("select a folder with the InDesign files open");.
If (myFolder == null) exit();
var myFilelist = [];
var myAllFilesList = myFolder.getFiles ();Please paste the scripts in the Advanced Editor and use > syntax Highighting > Java.
Perhaps your problem is that you are using the wrong syntax for your path to the file. Try to change the original script and adding script:
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder with InDesign files to resave"); alert("Set myFolder to "+myFolder.fsName);
and then to see exactly how the name of the folder is given and try using them.

Folder in the Dreamweaver - DW site chooses wrong location
Over the last 10 years, I've seen a lot of weird bugs in DW, but this one is by far the most confusing.
I just installed Win 7 and I took the chance to do a fresh install. It meant reconfiguring all my sites the Dreamweaver.
In the reconstruction of my local hit, I discovered that whenever I chose a local folder for a website instead of the folder being the local in DW, one immediately above it would be chosen insead.
At first I wrote chalk user error and do things in a hurry, but then I realized it was DW that.
I found a quick solution that inolved drilling to a subdirectory and choose this one. DW will then choose the parent directlory folder of the site. Easy, but also troubling. What else will wreong?
In the cases above is unclear, here's a step by step:
Access the Sites == > manage sites
Click on "Local root folder".
Navigate to the directory 'my sites '.
Open Directory of websites "ClientSite.
Click "choose".
Now in "local root folder" I see this:
D:\My Websites\
Instead of
D:\My Websites\ClientSite
If I do the same thing but instead I drill down to:
D:\My Websites\ClientSite\images
then in "local root folder" I see now:
D:\My Websites\ClientSite
Is this weird or what?
Incidentally, the same applies to the folder of images and in each other the local site DW interface dialog box
If anyone has anb idea what this could be, I would be very grateful. Thank you.
Yes, this is a known bug that Adobe will fix soon hopefully. It happens in Win7 and I understand as well under Vista.
Two solutions of workaround: type in the correct folderpath in the window field to browse manually or choose a folder level 1 below your real goal - DW will mess it up just right then!
