Holy shit

Thanks!!!

As my script was getting longer and worse, you came in with a nice tidy solution

I have so much to learn!

Hi, I have files arriving at a rename which contain private data that I want to add to the filename. The private data will be Key 01, Value 01 to Key nn, Value nn (key name and the value they hold are the same so Key 88 would be value 88 ). A job may have Keys 01 and 03, another job may have keys 04...

Hello, Can I push any error in a script to the error out connector? Or must I have a try catch and the catch pushes the error the way I want? If try/catch was the way, then do I copy the problem bit of code like this? try { problem code in its entirety even if it is several lines long; } catch (e) {...

Awesome thanks, you're very helpful

Thanks Gabriel your script appears so clean and readable, even though it is still way beyond me I can at least see how you handle your errors. I have edited the script I had as below and it seems to work in a test. I'm very scared to put it into production though as I'm so inept at scripting. OLD - ...

Ah brilliant, thanks.

So where the script is currently producing its error,
Can I just add below

This is the area of Switch I have most to learn about. I have a script made by a previous person and it can error. I think that having a traffic light output connector will help me move the problem jobs away from the good ones. The script does throw an error (something like an undefined variable or ...

I have now fixed this. The cause was that prepress run a Quite Hot imposing action followed by a Pitstop action. There is nothing wrong with these tools normally, but these two actions when run one after the other break transparencies. I have replaced the Quite Hot action with a Pitstop one that ach...

If you write to them, they will make anything you need.

Are you using Quite Hot in Switch?

Thanks for that. I have investigated further and found 2 steps in prepress that are causing the error. I'm not sure now how the steps are causing this though At the same link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nSlKOBW9JBJjv3c_2NYAFdfIp2wT7Zeg?usp=sharing I now have "A LF" and "B LF" these files...

Examples here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nSlKOBW9JBJjv3c_2NYAFdfIp2wT7Zeg?usp=sharing Though they appear to have the same settings, File 'A' ripped OK and File 'B' did not. The results when ripped and printed was solid white circles as the RIP is (correctly I believe) knocking out benea...

Thanks

Working out which is harder, fixing Pistop or writing my CV...

Thanks for that. Very useful. I'd hate to be in that kind of mess during production time.

Should I aim to reference all actions and preflights from the "Select Many from Library" before upgrading Pitstop?

This will be my first upgrade. Clearly we are a little out of date, being on 13 r1, I am now looking to upgrade to 2018. I'm looking for any tips - or answers to the below if you have them - thanks. Should I upgrade to 13 r2, or jump straight to 2018? How long will an upgrade take (roughly)? I'm thi...

dkelly, cstevens,

many thanks both for the help! I'll try out these ideas
