Re: [Bug] logger fails to log message with %

The % signs are intended to be used as placeholders for variables. This is mainly used to do logging in different languages. You can find more information on the intended behavior in the documentation: https://www.enfocus.com/manuals/DeveloperGuide/SW/24.1/home.html#en-us/common/swscr/reference/re_s...

Re: Running Powershell scripts

If you wish to run a powershell script from Run Command in Powershell mode, then you have to build it in the same way as you would when starting a powershell script from another powershell script. Meaning that you have to place a "&" before the path to the script to be executed. & ...

Re: Private Data in XML Request

If I'm not mistaken you can escape Switch variables by duplicating the opening bracket.

By example

Code: Select all

[[test]
is seen as

Code: Select all

[test]
in a single line text with variables

Re: Usign xpath trough script

You cannot use modules in script expressions which are not included in Nodejs itself. The correct way to read xml files is to use the native Switch modules, you can find more information in the documentation: https://www.enfocus.com/manuals/DeveloperGuide/SW/22.1/home.html#en-us/common/swscr/referen...

Re: pdfgrep - Execute command result as Private data

Execute command can save the stdout to a dataset, but not to private data. It also does not use a shell, so piping and redirecting doesn't work without an intermediate shell file. If you use the free app Run command, then you can save to private data and you can use redirecting and piping. That will...

Re: Job Submission via API - help please!!

I haven't done job submission to Switch myself, but looking at your code I see that you set the Content-Type and Content-Length headers. When working in nodejs I personally use a library to calculate these when I work in nodejs. From what I can find online you don't have to specify them when you wor...

Re: HTTP request (square brackets in JSON conflicts with Switch variables)

You can escape square brackets in switch variables by duplicating the opening brackets. Can you try this? '{ "model": "gpt-4-1106-preview", "messages": [[ { "role": "user", "content": "Write a poem about flowers" } ], "temper...

Re: Delay Indesign Saving a Document

I have used the following line in the past for font activation with extensis

$.sleep(10000)
(Unit is milliseconds)

You might want to try freddys suggestion first, if it works it won't need delays.

Re: Image compression

It can indeed change the image compression. You can change the behavior by adding the "Override default image recompression" action before the action which is changing the images.

Re: Number of pages of InDesign-file

You can lower the indesing saving time for all pages by lowering the preview resolution. But that may be a problem if you use the preview.

Re: Number of pages of InDesign-file

I think there is page information in the XMP? This Switch variable gives the highest page number in my test: [Metadata.Integer:Path="xmp:PageInfo/*[last()]/xmpTPg:PageNumber"] In InDesign this is of course not always equal to the amout of pages since you can start a document with any page ...

Re: Error in script expression when using setPrivateData

Script expressions only have read access to the switch api.

If you want to set private data using a script expressions, then you can use the data mapper app. There you set the tag in the app and calculate the value using a script expression.

Re: Database Values as NodeJS Parameters

Then I think the best option is to have some small reproducible sample and report it to Enfocus Support. Another workaround you could try: put the requesting of the property in a try catch, and if there is an exception, wait for 1 second or so and then request the property again. Even if the workaro...
