Re: Results of Switch Colourants into Pitstop Server multiline text variables

I am away from my computer but just thought that the following may work.

1) Use a preflight to get the colour list as XML.

2) Rest should be easy.

Still interested in how I'd do it with Switch colourants though.

Workaround Get all the data as before Inject a half made json that has placeholder values Use the String Replace app to swap the placeholders for the variables Pass the file through the HTTP Request as Post a Body: I...

Re: Remove hidden files ".DS_store" from a folder

This is cool.

I'm not sure why mine was different, but my .bat file ended up being

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
cd "%1"
del /s /q /f /a .DS_STORE
Very handy solution thanks Padawan

Re: Find and Replace font issues, also automation

Awesome! thanks!

I had to also add in "Select corrupt font widths" (Tolerance 0) before the "Change corrupt font widths"

Looks to be working :D

Re: Find and Replace font issues, also automation

Interesting one hey Magnus!

The "change font" step seems essential but cannot be driven by variables so I cannot automate for all documents
