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

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

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...
