Copy the name of the layer to the Clipboard?

Hi, I was looking for a way to copy the name of the active layer in the Windows Clipboard, I hope this a quick solution. What I managed to do up to now, it is to open the Layer Properties dialog box, and then press 'CTRL + C' to copy the layer name (because the name of the layer is already highlighted at this stage), and then it correctly copy the name of the layer in the Windows Clipboard.

But I found that when the system is under load, the Layer Properties dialog box is sometimes slow to open, and despite this, it seems that it is an additional step that could be eliminated.

I searched through keyboard shortcuts and also in all the menus layer for a keyboard shortcut for just 'copy layer to the Clipboard name' but cannot find anything.

Anyone know if there is a quick shortcut to do this or maybe a quick script that will copy just the name of the layer?

Thanks in advance...

Bingo! Thank you Philippe/csuebele/pixxxel, it's the "clip.exe" that was the problem for me. I pasted in system32 and now it works. It's awesome - now I am able to view a tool tip with the name of the layer, whenever I change the layers (with the help of my other app left 3rd) - this is especially useful when working in mode full screen when you don't see the palette layers. It will update your tool tip with the name of the layer whenever you use keyboard shortcuts to select the different layers.

If someone thinks they would find useful, I had me more than happy to share it... but it's using a different script software, so I may or may not be able to talk about it here. Shoot me a private message if I can't talk about it here and you would like it to be.

  • Print file stuck in the coil, the message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program".

    Recently, I tried to capture a job by a break of a print queue, print work and copy the files from the spool (under C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS) before unpausing the queue. However, when I try to copy the files, I get the error message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program". I tried several times with the same result. The only way to get the file off the ground is obviously t reactivate the print queue and they will quickly deteleted shortly after. Is there a way I can recover these files? Assume the change the port in 'File' to make a copy of file is on the table. I ran this in the title of administrator user rights.

    The file you are trying to "capture" you will do some good.  However, if you want to watch or copy it, first stop the print spooler.  Open the Services applet (start > run > services.msc > OK).  Scroll down to "Print spooler" and click "Stop".  Don't forget to restart the print spooler after you copy the file or you will not be able to print.

    If you want to print to a file rather than on paper, there are at least three ways to do it (not counting "Print to a file").

    Using the "Print to file" box will produce a *.prn file.  It contains commands specific to the printer; It cannot be opened by the usual word processor applications; It can be used to print to the printer selected in the print dialog box or printer that uses the same commands to the printer.  For example, you have a printer installed on 1 computer but you have physically moved the printer to computer 2, where it is now installed.  You can check the "Print to file" on the computer 1, save the file to a flash drive *.prn, carry it to computer 2 and then print it out by copying the file to the printer (in a command prompt window).

    1. the best way, IMO, is to print to a PDF using free CutePDF Writer.

    2. you can create a "generic, only the text" printer and select this option when you print.  This produces a *.txt file.  To install the generic/text printer only, follow these steps:

    1. Click the Start button, point to settings, and then click Printers.
    2. Double-click the add printer icon.
    3. Click the next button.
    4. When you are prompted "How is this printer attached to your computer? Click the local printer option button, and then click Next.
    5. In the manufacturers box, click Generic. In the Printers box, click generic/text only, and then click Next.
    6. In the available Ports box, click FILE, and then click Next.
    7. When you are prompted "do you want that your Windows-based programs to use this printer as the default printer?" click the no option button, and then click Next.
    8. When you are guests "would you like to print a test page?" click the no option button, and then click the Finish button.

    3. use the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, which may already be installed on your computer.  "XPS" was Microsoft's attempt to compete with Adobe PDF.  He did not.  Unfortunately, the only way to view a document produced by the XPS Document Writer is using the Microsoft XPS Viewer.

  • Try to copy the corrupted user profile profile settings and I am met with the error message "too long file name!

    I tried to connect to my laptop today and instead of recording in the usual way a message that windows creates new office settings. When he finally connects me I get a message of bubble speech saying I was connected to a temporary profile, I reboot several times and the problem persists. After a little google research, I realize my old profile is probably corrupted... I have not downloaded a new software/hardware.

    I followed the steps of miscrosoft to copy the files from my old profile to a new user, everything in the file transfer went well until the last few files to copy. Then, I get this error message saying "the file names would be too long for the destination folder", only two options are cancel and skip available. Which are useful.

    I do not recognize these folders that are too long (the names are the random letters and numbers), I tried to look for them, nothing is done. And to be honest, I don't understand what that means.

    UPDATE: I decided to copy folder a bit at a time and it solved my problem, that all the files were copied successfully. However, now I was struck with a new problem. Whenever I try to access my files, I get a message that says windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not be authorized appropriate. How can I fix it?


    It comes to my laptop and I administer it / have access to passwords, etc.

    It simply means that your old account was the owner of that file or folder.  You can change the security to access your new account.  Here are the instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-PK/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-access-denied-when-opening-files-or-folders

  • Activate the layer by name from the Clipboard

    It's just a quick follow-up to "move the layer to cursor" - I try to activate a particular layer, and the name of the particular layer will be on the Clipboard.

    So, for example, say that the active layer is "Layer 1"

    and 'Layer 5' on the Clipboard

    So, I want to be able to switch to the tier 5. The reason is that the Clipboard can contain names of different layers at one time. Is it not as easy as simply to write a script to switch to 5 layers. I need to move to some layer is in the Clipboard at any given time. The reason for this is a bit tedious so I'll leave that part for now

    #target photoshop
    
    var layerRef = app.activeDocument.layers.getByName( 'WHATEVER IS IN THE CLIPBOARD' );
    
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer = layerRef;

    Copy of complete site. I have a Web site. I would copy the entire site (complete with images) to another directory with a different name. Then, transfer to another hosting server. Any ideas?

    Not sure that you need a different directory.

    If you are working on a local computer, create a new site with all the same settings for local files and change the remote server settings to match the second server.

    This ensures you that there is no difference between the two websites.

  • Copy path of a shape layer to the layer path again

    I use connect traces on a shape layer to animate the "drawing" of the form. Then I have a still image (my hand) that I want to follow the application of the shape layer.

    In AE, I this today by defining the paths of the toppings, then copy the path of the shape layer.  I go to the layer again, select the position attribute and paste. This deal is still keyframes layer which coincide with the shape animation.

    I thought I could go something on the shape layer and then create keyframes on the layer again. However, I am not sure this makes sense?  Use valueAtTime() on the way to the shape layer?

    Any ideas how I can replicate this workflow to ExtendScript?

    Try this - it might get you up to get the path of the layer shape copied in the position property of the layer of the hand:


    function deselectAll (theComp) {}

    for (var i = 1; i)<= thecomp.numlayers;="">

    theComp.layer (i) .selected = false;

    }

    var theProps = theComp.selectedProperties;

    for (var i = 0; i)< theprops.length;="">

    theProps [i] .selected = false;

    }

    }

    var app.project.activeItem = myComp;

  • Copy the layer properties

    Hi all

    I had this frustration some time and thought there was nothing I can do about it as I don't want to buy a script just for this, if this is the case, but that's.

    If two layers are both 100% scale, but a single layer is 100 x 100 px, and the other is 200 x 200 px, is it possible that I can make one match on the other?

    I know that you can transfer the parent, but that seems to only affect that ladders, etc., I want especially to use it in the way I have a form for a piece of the video to go, normally a vector from illustrator as a placeholder, I don't then want to copy the shape and the parent to this.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks for any help!

    Expressions can return the height and width of a layer. You can write an expression that divides the target layer height and width and the width by the height of the source layer. There are two ways to write this expression. One using a table, one using individual values.

    This is option 1:

    sLayer = [width, height]; source layer

    tLayer = [thisComp.layer("target_layer").width, thisComp.layer("target_layer").height]; target layer

    [tLayer [0] / sLayer [0], tLayer [1] / sLayer [1]] * 100

    Here are 2 option:

    tlWidth = thisComp.layer("target_layer").width;

    tlHeight = thisComp.layer("target_layer").height;

    slWidth = width;

    slHeight = height;

    SX = tlWidth / slWidth;

    Sy = tlHeight / slHeight;

    [sx, sy] * 100

    Apply expressions of the scale property of the source layer. The outside dimensions of the source and the target will be now. If the layer 'target' is the parent that the source layer will react normally. If the source layer

    is the parent, you cannot adjust the pair scale without changing the expression with a value more than the statement. Here is an example of project CS6.

    I try to copy the names on the list at the top of this page in a BCC list below with the action of a button. However knowing the correct access to the loop variable 'i' node becomes very difficult if not impossible. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    var = rows.length nRows - 1; assign the number of rows to variable

    To loop through the number of instances of subform #4 get values for each textfield

    for (i = 0; i<= nrows;="">

    {

    Fill the table with the values in subform #4

    nameArray [(i*2)] = xfa.resolveNode ("form1. ("Page1.document.OnethruTen.OneThruFour.four [" ' + i + ' "] '). Owner.rawValue;
