Failed to save script files, help!

I was hitting away at my first script for some time now, and I've tracked down the problem. I can't save all files to all locations of the script interface. I wrote a simple test script to see if she would ever save a file:

var savePath = "C:\Users\Public\Documents\ExtendscriptTesting\sploof.txt";

var saveFile = new File(savePath);

saveFile.open("e");

even if this does not work, and she basically plagiarized it verbatim page 118 of the book Adobe Scripting by Chandler McWilliams

  • I also tried setting photoshop and extendscript toolkit to run as administrator
  • I am logged in as the administrator of the machine
  • Windows 7 pro, photoshop cs5
  • I can get to read and open files in photoshop, simply not save

Any help? There is another reason that I'm not able to save files from extendscript?

var savePath = "C:\Users\Public\Documents\ExtendscriptTesting\sploof.txt";

This is incorrect, if using the backslash have you use a double bar backslash.

var savePath = "C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\ExtendscriptTesting\\sploof.txt";

or you can use a slash...

var savePath = "/ C/Users/Public/Documents/ExtendscriptTesting/sploof.txt";

  • Save jpeg files and close script

    Hi all

    I am very new to scripting (from this morning) and struggling to get my head round if the following is possible. My apologies if I'm missing something basic.

    I wish I could have a script that opens a jpeg image, insert the name of the file on the image, save as a jpeg and close.

    I managed to find examples of this and currently have a script that will open the image, insert the name of the file and save the file - but as a photoshop document. I am also very keen on the images I need to process about 200 images in a closing time and and at present can do a little at a time.

    I inserted what I have so far below... Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
    Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
    Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
    Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx
    To learn more about the upgrade process, please visit the link below:

  • How to tell the script that I want to save unsaved files, but not to replace the old?

    Hello world

    I had this script

    If (.saved docs [i] == false) {}

    docs [i] except (new File("~/Desktop/Document.indd'));

    docs [i]. Close();

    }

    else {}

    docs [i]. Close (SaveOptions.Yes);

    }

    Close and save files

    But if I have two files or more, I want to save the files as Doc1, Doc2...

    the new file will never replace the old

    Can someone tell me how I can do?

  • Failed to save the UI resource file...

    Hi all

    I have to pass a CVI 6a 2013 CVI.

    After working the binding DLLS/LIBs now everything compiles and links fine and the exe works as expected.

    But there are some users that I have to edit resource files. As soon as I open one of them (a few seconds) or when I want to change one little thing, and then save the file I get the error message next message (see attachment):

    Unable to save the user interface resource file '... uir ' (the file is not a user interface file or damaged)

    What is the problem and how to solve?

    Any idea is welcome.

    Best regards

    Andreas

    Hi all

    Thanks for your ideas.

    I oversaw that effort to push the standard of the button Save of the cvi after I clicked away the strange error messages.

    Strange but true: If the IUR files are saved now (in the appropriate format) and error messages no longer appear.

    I think that there is a small bug (or format or any change...) in 2013 CVI when overtaking of the UIR of CVI 6 files.

    Good day.

  • "Save image under" has changed, without memory of the choice of folder, save the file invisible name, options does not help.

    General options "always ask me where to save files. I seem to get the other option - save the file in (a specific directory) option is selected. Perhaps there is an automatic update of Firefox? The problem started there around the time that Qt Creator, I installed a few days.

    The fixed! Uninstalled windows 7/24 update and restarted. One may wonder what is happening to the Mircosoft to shoot their software in the foot like that?

  • HELP... can't save the file!

    Here's the situation: I have a GB 13.1. PSB I can't register because I don't have enough space to work. I had about 100 GB available initially but now have about 5 GB of available because I have a temp 67 GB and a 28 GB temp file just hanging out. I can't delete them because Photoshop is running. I can't close Photoshop because my file is not saved. I use a Windows 10 PC, 32 GB of RAM, 250 GB solid state HD i7 - 4790K.

    I tried using the purge to purge everything.

    Tried disk cleanup.

    I tried CCleaner.

    Tried to use a USB 32 GB as additional work space, but Photoshop does not recognize it.

    Is it possible that I can delete these 2 temporary files while Photoshop is running?

    Is it possible to save a file without using the drive working?

    Can I use a network as a scratch disk location?

    Any other ideas?

    Try to cut your image in two and save them separately. Use the canvas size, define a dimension of 50%, then save as xxx. DO NOT CLOSE THE FILE! Then, in your history panel step back a step to where you have the whole image, now do the same "canvas size/save under ' for the other half of the image. This should give you two images that can be assembled quite easily once you have your system back to the height. You should look in to second disc scratching in the 500 + range. they are cheap compared to losing a great masterpiece of a lack of free space.

  • How the script create\edit\save\load file?

    I can't find a tool or a command to create the script file in the powercli environment.

    How to create or load the script file?

    It is the simplest form simply the PowerCLI prompt and a text editor such as notepad for example.

    Once you have your script in a .ps1 file, you can call/run the script from the prompt PowerCLI.

    PS C:\Scripts >./myscript.ps1

    You will have to ensure that the performance of PowerShell policy is set correctly to be able to run scripts.

    The is easier to develop and run scripts using a graphical interface that allows you to edit and run the script in the same graphical interface.

    With PowerShell comes the ISE, which became pretty good in PS v3.

    And there are other GUIs as more than Idera PowerShell and PowerGui.

    One to use is a matter of personal preference
