Hi, I'm looking into finding the best way to make our flows more modular to make developing easier. For example, I have several flows each of which use the same way to create low-res PDFs. I would like to move the elements involved with the low-res creation into a separate flow with input and output...

Ah, a pity it doesn't work. Thanks for the explanation, though! Could this idea still be taken in as a feature request, e.g. as an extra option in mail element "send multiple attachments as individual files", or conversely, "send multiple attachments as a compressed file"? --patrik

Hi, I have a flow which should receive PDF files via e-mail, run a preflight (PitStop Server) and then return an e-mail with the checked PDF and a report PDF. I've now solved it by having an Assemble job, which zips the two files, before sending the mail, but I would like to have the two PDFs as sep...

OK, thanks for the clarification! Now we at least now where the problem lies, a pity though that there does not seem to be a solid solution. I'll try playing around with it then, now that I know the cause for the problem. The flow has worked fine these two days as it is, so it's not a huge problem b...

Hi, Sorry I explained myself a bit confusingly, yes, I tried with the path in the variable as well, but I also tried to have the "Job repository" in the Inject job so there I selected the path in the job repository part, so then the variable should need only the "[Job.JobState]",...

Hi Freddy, Thanks for your tips, I got it working, somewhat... Like you said, the Recycle bin was the problem because the files in the temp folder still had their unique ID's. So removing the bin and having the folder strip the id's solved it. However, I would need the Recycle bin there to keep the ...

Hi Freddy,

Thanks, the job state sounds good, I'll try that once I get a couple of things out of my hands first.



Yes, I realized the same thing with the Hold job before Recycle Bin and have it there already.



Thanks again for your fast replies and helpful tips,

Huge thanks, Freddy! So that's what inject job is useful for.. :) I changed the flow according to your suggestions but unfortunately it cannot inject the original HR from the temp folder. Switch only says that "Failed to inject job: file or folder'serverfoldertmp-folderbigfiletest.pdf' does not...

Hi, I would like to have a following flow: 1. high-res (HR) PDF comes in 2. if the HR PDF file size is under certain value (e.g. 500KB), move in straight into low-res (LR) output with possible renaming (this I have done) 3. if the HR is above the limit, then run a Pitstop action to make it a 100ppi ...

Hi Emmanuel, The same flow works fine when I change the hotfolders to a non-Helios server so there is nothing wrong with that. I have also tried with several flows and one very simple one, which I described in my previous message. I have a problem folder and Switch gives no error messages, the files...

Hi, We are running into problems with Switch (Win, v11 update 3) with hotfolders that are on a network drive on a Helios server. Have any of you run into similar problems? Basically this is what happens: When a flow has a not-automanaged folder (a hotfolder or a final output folder) set up on a netw...

Thanks for your help! After quite a bit of truggling I managed to reach my goal of both creating the flow I needed and also understanding Switch a lot more. :) The relations between Switch flows, different ways of scripting and using external commands either through the configurator or via scripting...

Hi, I have the following situation I have tried to solve and I would like to get your advice in what would be the best(most straightforward) approach. Naturally, I would not want to take too many extra turns on the way if there is a "clean way" of doing it. - flow gets as its input one csv...
