Folder Prefix

I am injecting a generic folder structure for all of our jobs. Occasionally we get folders that are prefixed with ".~#~" On the Mac these folders are invisible cause they start with a "." Does anyone know why this happens and how I can correct it? It seems to only be happening in...

Quite Hot 4

I am having some problem with Quite Hot Imposing 4. I updated my switch server to the newest version. When I try to activate a flow with a Quite Configurator in it. That workflow will not activate. Has anyone else seen this issue. I have contacted Quite support and they said it is compatible.

Re: HP SmartStream VDP

I figured out where my problem was. I had my templates folder on an external raid attached to the computer using it as a scratch disk. As soon as I pointed my templates folder to the local drive the configurator works as normal.

Thanks for all the input.

Re: HP SmartStream VDP

My configurator is setup to go to the root of the Templates folder. Inside I have a folder called HomeDepot. My Indesign Template is called HomeDepot.indd. My CSV file is called HomeDepot_Test.csv ( I have tried renaming to just "HomeDepot.csv") Always with the same results, drop the file,...

Re: HP SmartStream VDP

I have used this many times before, the Template and the CSV file are named correctly. InDesign launches but never runs the file. There are NO errors in the SWITCH messages.

If I use the same CSV file open it manually on the machine it will output the job with no problems.

Save as CS6 from CC

Ok this has got me a little closer, it will create the temp file on the desktop, but it will not move it to the final folder of the flow. Failed to place job '_0CIP5_Untitled-1.ai' in folder 'Output' $Doc=app.activeDocument; var tempfile = new File("/Users/wfadmin/Desktop/" + $filename + &...

Save as CS6 from CC

I am trying to make a quick "save as" flow to save down Creative Cloud Illustrator files to CS6. I am pretty close, if I replace the path to the Desktop for the destination file, it will resave my file to the desktop. I thought if I replaced it with the $outfolder, it would place it in the...

Photoshop opening PDFs

I am using the Photoshop configurator to open PDFs and rasterize them on difficult jobs. My issue is by default Photoshop selects bounding Box for the Crop too. If I open a PDF manually and change it to Media Box, all files there after will use that setting. Of course if Photoshop is closed it goes ...

Is Switch 12 buggy ?

I have found SWITCH 12 works better then SWITCH 11. I am not have as many crashing or problems involving Pitstop server 11. My only issue with the new version is SWITCH Designer is slow to refresh, activate and deactivating flows.
