User choose the alert folder

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()

  • A feature missing from CC Packager: choose the temp folder

    When you use the conditioner of creative cloud to assemble a package, the software downloads all necessary files. But it downloads not directly to the chosen location, but somewhere on the disc of the operating system.

    But I have my operating system on a 64 GB SSD, which already > 55GO is used. Thus, Packer CC doesn't have enough space to store all the files. So, I can't get a package.

    IMHO the packer must use the drive/folder assigned also to temporary files, not the OS disc.

    Hi WakkerMartijn,

    If you go to the Creative cloud Packer preferences where you see the signed in user. You can then change the where the default location for the cache to the application.

  • DateField clear if the user choosing the wrong pattern (or validation fails)

    Hello

    I have a date field for which I have a particular pattern("DD/MM/YYYY").

    I want to get out in addition to the entered value if the user enters the value in the wrong format.

    I know that this is possible using Designer 9.0

    If (this.errorText! = null)

    then

    this.rawValue = 0;   -in the event exit

    But I am using Designer 8.2 for the current project and please tell us how this can be made possible here.

    Thank you

    KC

    I don't think it's a good idea to limit the input to the ground that one format only.

    This is going to be frustrating for users, as the validation may fail too often.

    It is better to make the entry as flexible as possible by combining several models:

    As the use of template editing:

    date {jj. MM YYYY} | date {YYYY} | date {DDMMYYYY} | date {DD MM YYYY} | date {YYYY-MM-DD} | date {DD, MM, YYYY} | date {MM/DD/YYYY}. date {jj. MM YY} | date {parag} | da you {DDMMYY} | date {JJ MM AA} | date {JJ-MM-AA} | date {DD, MM, AA} | date {JJ/MM/AA}

    and like the model display:

    date {MM/DD/YYYY}

    Users then can enter dates in many ways but always get the correctly displayed as DD/MM/YYYY.

    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

  • Emailing in the Actions folder to export using Lightroom 5

    I'm so frustrated right now.


    This is not the first time I spent hours trying to get Lightroom to work with my email client (I use airmail on a Mac).


    I follow the directions and create an alias of air mail and drop it in the folder of export measures.


    But when I try to export, it is to open my Applications folder.


    What in the heck I'm doing wrong?


    Thank you

    Yes, it's true.

    It will open your default email application, but you must configure the backup for this destination.

    You must follow the exact instructions of same as you did before, but I'm here mention adding one more step so that you don't get of this finder window popping up when exporting.

    Here are the instructions that you must follow:

    1. In the Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS), create a shortcut (Windows) or an alias (Mac OS) to your favorite email application.
    2. Start Lightroom and in the library module, click the export button.
    3. Selectionner select to email in the list of Lightroom Presets on the left side of the dialog box, and then scroll to the parameter area of post processing on the right side of the dialog box.
    4. Choose after export > Go to export Actions folder now. Lightroom offers you the folder in Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS).
    5. Drag the e-mail application shortcut or alias created in step 1 in the folder of export measures.
    6. Back in Lightroom, choose after export > e-mail application.
    7. Click the drop-down list next to "export to:" and choose the specific folder. Then click 'Choose' under the same drop-down list that opens the Finder window, and you must go through and choose a location where you want to save the exported files
    8. Click the Add button to save this new preset as a "Preset" defined by the user.
    9. Click Cancel to exit the export dialog box.
    10. Try to export your images from Lightroom and this should allow your application to email pop up.

    Step 7 is an additional step in this list you need to do and to create a new preset again with these parameters.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards

  • V50.0.2: * all * download left-clicked links seem to not start at all - but in fact files are downloaded silently as .part to the temp folder

    Since a few hours ago, I click on the download links are not processed as expected:

    -There is no indication of a download link click at all, that is, no confirmation, no dialog box to choose the destination folder, etc.

    -downloads TO start even if files are downloaded SILENTLY in the folder Temp (C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Temp) as a .part files (and stay there when the download is complete)

    -C' is the case on Web site downloads, I tried

    -the library has no record that all the files have been downloaded

    -There is also no indication of a download completion

    -downloaded files are intact as far as I can tell (tested by renaming and extract a zip file)

    -However, right-clicking and choosing "save link under ' works very well

    -In addition, the elements of the popup menu "downthemall" Download Manager work very well (for example "save the link with downthemall")

    -ive also noticed that closing the download source tab does not cancel the download, for that I have to close completely the ff

    Measures taken so far:

    -restart ff

    -restart the computer

    ran-a anti-virus (avast), ran malwarebytes scan

    -ran ff with all extensions disabled: same problem

    -a went through the steps detailed here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files

    -tried to download files with the different browser: worked well

    -tried to download files with profile ff different: worked well

    -tried to download files in safe mode ff: worked well

    ... any ideas?

    I "solved" this by backup of bookmarks, passwords and settings and such things of the migration to a fresh profile ('refresh function'), as well as reinstall and - configure my extensions.

  • Lightroom CC 2015.7 / Camera Raw 9.7 / macOS Sierra - could not find the Destination folder during import

    Hello world

    Sorry if this question is stupid, but I always imported files easily on my hard drive. But recently, since I've updated my Lightroom, I can't find the menu destination folder when importing photos.

    I go in the menu library, choose IMPORT, select the original folder, the photos I want to import and then, on the right side, I only see the option 'create an intelligent Preview' and the option of keywords/tags. Where is the part that I could choose the destination folder - and even create subfolders?

    If I click on the triangle in the lower left corner to minimize the menu, I can see the menu "create a subfolder. However, the normal display mode brings no option like that, but by selecting the main folder by clicking on the icon in the corner right-towards the top.

    What Miss me? It seems not very practical for me.

    Cheers in advance!

    The destination tab may have accidentally become hidden, next to one of the other header in the sidebar right and you click right there get a pop up that will allow you to restore it. See the screen capture.

  • Windows 7 users / locked the folder my documents (junction point)

    I use Windows 7 and have just loaded Microsoft Office on a new laptop computer and when I try to set as default file locations in "Word" it tells me that I can't access name / my users/user documents, when I look at the way it shows a lock on the file. I looked a few answers to this problem but do not understand.  There are two users on the laptop and everyone can see other files, but not their own, in other words when I am logged in, I can see other users ' users / folder my documents but not my own and vice versa. " The result is that when I try to save a document using "save under" it comes up with access denied to folder. I know that I can choose where I want to save my colleague he needs to record simply in his papers when she was on but not save must start looking for the complete path.

    Location in C:\Users\registration by default defined \Documents.  Do not use the 'My documents' folder - it is a junction point and should not be modified or used by users in some way.
