Re: Trying to get a specific part of NameProper with regex
I noticed that I could use the Before and After in this case, but It would be good to know why the regular expression did not work. That's because of "Note: Positive and negative lookbehind are currently not supported." in here: https://www.enfocus.com/manuals/UserGuide/SW/21/home.html#en...

Re: Feature request - Copy property values while flow is running
HI, I think support portal is the place to submit feature requests and I agree that it would be a useful feature. Currently, as a workaround, we simply duplicate the running flow and copy the values from the there, after which the duplicate can be deleted... A bit cumbersome, but safer that stopping...

Re: Save as Optimised PDF from Adobe Acrobat Professional configurator
If you have (or can upgrade to) PitStop 2021 released last week, it has a new action list called "Optimize PDF (emulates Acrobat optimized save)" which should get you similar results than in Acrobat:

Re: Compress all files in folder when newest file is older than 30 min
Would it work to just have an Assemble job before Archive? Set it to assemble by "arbitrary files", "every 10000 jobs" (or anything else too big) with the orphan timeout as 30 minutes ––> files are assembled as a job folder after 30 minutes has passed since the last file.

Re: How can I view when a Switch Flow was last used?
@jan_suhr's way (or writing directly to db, too) is the best (and only) way currently to do it reliably, but if you don't have that implemented, you can try checking what the flow's the backing folders' modification dates at data root\Switch Server\backing\flow name\automanaged are ;-) – it's certai...

Re: switchScriptTool --pack
I think you should pack it outside the script folder so that it doesn't overwrite the "0 KB .sscript".
For example:
to have it created inside a "build" directory at the same level as your script folder.
For example:
Code: Select all
SwitchScriptTool.exe --pack . ../build/

Re: Pitstop Preflight - Dynamic resolution check for different page sizes
Another and probably more performant option is to setup the preflight profile to use a variable and let Switch set its value according to the page size. However, if you may have different page sizes in the document (that might fall into those different categories), then you might be better off using...

Re: switchScriptTool --pack
It depends on how your environment is setup and what kind of things you do with the scripts, but one key thing is that using script folders is currently a bit slower than using packed scripts. There are some other reasons, too, and Enfocus has listed those on this page: https://www.enfocus.com/manua...

Re: Versioning scripts & Builds
"unfortunately Switch doesn't yet provide tools to e.g. load balance and sync flows between several Switch installations" It seems to me like you could use version control on the flows folder but I think there are some outside dependencies that need to be worked in with it as well? I woul...

Re: Versioning scripts & Builds
Hi, Good question. We have ended up working in the following way, for now at least: each script has its own directory (i.e. script folder) and then we have a separate build directory for the packaged .sscript files. Building into the script folder doesn't make sense because you lose the "magica...

Re: Single Line Text with Variables
Hi, If I understood you correctly that you already have "D200303XM_Memorial_Day_Holiday_Assets" in the hierarchy index 2 and you want to use single line text with variables to get "Memorial_Day_Holiday_Assets", then you can use the Segment field and set it to use characters e.g. ...

Re: Output folder name
Hi,
For the Path Segment 2 you need [Job.Extension] (or [Job.Extension:Case="upper"] if you want to ensure uppercase names GIF/PNG/JPG).
[Switch.ElementName] gives you the name of the current flow element, e.g. "Set Hierarchy Path" or "Folder 123".

You should've received an e-mail yesterday from marketing@enfocus.com with the title "Magnus, discover Switch 2020 Fall" – There is a Download installers subtitle with links to Mac and Win versions.
