Re: Sort out files with no corresponding XML
@jslater, I wasn't aware of that change in the updated version of XML Pickup. That obviously solves the problem in the best possible way. Thanks for making me aware of that.
@Jan_suhr, I'm sure you were not aware of that either, but thanks for your suggestion anyway.

Sort out files with no corresponding XML
I have a folder coming into a flow. The folder contains some JPG and PDF files and some corresponding XML files. I'm going to pick up the XML files using the pickup mode "Metadata alongside asset" since all XML-files will have a corresponding JPG or PDF with the exact same name (except for...

Re: Move files by named-pattern into specified folder
Use the folder GAMMA_EXPORT_2023 as your Archive hierarchy. In the flow before archiving use the "Set hierarchy path" and define "Path segment 1" as this single line text with variable: [Job.NameProper:Before="_"]_KA

Re: Release files sorted by time stamp
Jimmy, I was trying that earlier, but the challenge was, that you need to collect all files in one folder before using "File sorter and spacer". In this case a batch of files is released from a Check Point using "Process multiple". I now write the time (hhmm) in a hidden metadata...

Release files sorted by time stamp
I have a lot of PDF files in a flow folder. They all contains a specific time stamp as JSON metadata. I need to send all the files to a hotfolder on a RIP. It is very important that the oldest file is sent first and so on in the order of the time stamps. It sounds quite simpel but I have failed to f...

JDF to call impose tempalte
I have asked this question several times to EFI/Fiery in mails, on online forums and through local resellers, but without getting any answers, so now I try this forum ;) I'm using Switch with the app "Create text file" to generate JDF-files to be used in hotfolders on a Fiery RIP. I haven'...

Re: Spaces in variable URL
Brilliant idea, Jimmy
I was on my way down that road, but for some reason turned around.
I simply write the entire URL into Private data and then use String Replace to replace space with %20 in that entire dataset. I've tested and it works just fine

Spaces in variable URL
I'm using Switch to generate a html-mail containing a button with a URL for the user to click on. This works fine, but if the receiver will forward this e-mail, the URL-link might get lost depending on which e-mail application is used and the users local settings. To compensate for this I also inclu...

Re: overwrite files in flow
I think you need to elaborate a little on how the flow works. If you are just collecting the JSON files in a folder and then later picking them up using the PDF you could just leave the JSON files in a folder with no outgoing connection (and overwrite) and then use Inject Wildcard to let the PDF pic...

Re: Restriction for "White text does not knock out"
Just like Freddy, I don't quite understand why you want this, but anyway an action like this will log all white text that does not knock out only on any other background than 100 K. Skærmbillede 2023-07-19 kl. 15.22.45.png You first select all line art that is not 100 K. Then use that as the inside ...

Re: Extract Cutfiles From PDF!
With Griffin in Switch you already have the possibility to make separate files for cutting and printing, so why not just make a copy of these?

Re: Changing pagelabels
@Jimmy. Thank you. Thats proves what Freddy just wrote. @Freddy. Thank you for the explanation. That however, leaves me with another question ;) How is the Split PDF element in Switch then able to ad the page label as a suffix to the file name using [Label], even when the PDF doesn't contain page la...

Re: Changing pagelabels
Well, I got the problem solved with a workaround in Switch but that brings me back to the initial problem with the PitStop action, which seems to be a PDF issue. If I create a simple two page document in InDesign and export that to at PDF having page 1 and 2, the action will not do anything. If I cr...
