Perfect! Thank you. Works great... not sure how I missed it to begin with, but I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

How can I trim a filename in FullSwitch? Let's say I want to remove everything before and including an underscore character. I played with attaching [Job.Name:After=_] to the JobState of a folder specifically created for staging the file renames, but that doesn't actually rename the file itself. Any...

Thanks again, Evan! I will give that a try later today. An interesting aside: I got the blank scripting error message on a Flow that had previously been working fine. It was unchanged and after a server reboot I got the error. The really interesting part is that the Configurator wasn't set to launch...

So with a Mutex or process check, each flow would basically line up and attempt to isolate the application to process the workflow. That would work fine for our situation. Thanks for the info! I do think it may be safer to simply check for the InDesign process, but whatever is easiest to program is ...

That is definitely not the answer I was hoping for. InDesign server is WAY out of my price range. Even Axio is. My only hope then is to have Switch launch an InDesign script that handles the rest of the logic. To date, I have had zero luck getting Switch to do this. I keep getting blank error messag...

Thanks for the reply Evan! I figured the most important thing was getting the error to show up, so I've added the Try-Catch routine around my script but I am still getting the same blank error message in the log. I'll also look into how to convert the script to an Application level function, but I r...

If I had, say, a dozen or more different active Flows all using the same application (InDesign), would there be any inherit problems processing jobs? All the Flows would have to get in line to use it...



Just curious before I get too deep into this Fullswitch trial. Thanks!

I'm not having much luck with getting Switch to run a script in InDesign. I really hope someone can point me in the right direction, because I'm just going in circles at this point! My workflow: Hotfolder -> InDesign (Command: Script) -> Processed Folder My configuration for InDesign is simply to ru...

I'll leave this thread for posterity.



The answer is to not have InDesign running when you activate your flow. Let Switch open InDesign and everything runs fine.

Hi everyone. I just started the trial for FullSwitch today and I've already hit a roadblock. For testing, I'm trying to create a very simple flow: Hotfolder ->(INDD file)-> InDesign ->(INDD file)-> Processed Folder The flow really doesn't do anything useful, but InDesign should open the file and sav...
