Do you know what is crashing Designer? - is it a particular flow?

If you do get it open, go to Preferences and turn on Debugging. You'll then be able to see more from http://127.0.0.1:51088/ that may help you or Enfocus target the issue (edit the filter to show debugging messages)

UPDATE Switch kept on crashing with one particular flow. The flow had run for months before with no issues. I had not made changes, I had only stopped and restarted it. Each time it started, Switch crashed and the preferences became corrupt. For anyone experiences this - the solution was simple in t...

Enfocus support came to the rescue in the end. Here for anyone in the same boat... C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\Enfocus\Switch Server rename settings folder to old (You'll need to kill both Switch processes "Enfocus Switch" in task manager to allow for this rename) C:\Program Files (x86)\E...

Thanks. Since writing, i have been unable to launch designer at all. Always receiving the "server preferences" error. Before that I had been able to restart the server and the computer itself a few times to try to rule that out as a problem. It seems like i do have a nasty or corrupt file ...

Most of the time I get the message " switch designer cannot start failed to retrieve switch server preferences " I can see some flows are active and processing from the logs, but some critical flows are not active. Occasionally, Designer will start and I can see the working and non-working...

Wow! I'd like to buy you a beer


Out of interest, how did you know to look for "Shading Objects"?

I had been trying to search for "DeviceN", then add a NOT, but it had not worked.

@apietrocini Another option to throw into the mix - I use this method as the "40" can be read from XML so I can split jobs into the number of pages I know I need from the XML for that particular job. Pads are an example. The customer may provide several pages and need them repeating X numb...

That's great and very easy to edit to my needs. - Thanks you very much!

One thing .. It flags "DeviceN" when present and I'd rather it didn't - example here

Perhaps this phrases the question more clearly: All normal spot colours + some named spot colours I choose to have = pass Any named spot that is not in the Pantone library, and is not in my white list = fail E.g PANTONE 485 C + EyeCut = pass (because EyeCut is in my white list and I know what to do ...

Hi, I'd like to achieve this through preflight or an action: Jobs with spot colours = Pass Jobs with unknown colours [knife, cut, don't print, day glo pink, card goes here .... ] = Fail ALTHOUGH.. I'd like to fail every unknown colour a designer could put in their art - without having to form a list...

Excellent thanks. This had popped up in searches yesterday but I had got distracted with other options - the most promising of which seemed like Chrome Headless. But yes, wkhtmltopdf seems to at least grab the page and make a PDF, which is excellent! Now for the username, password, and all the other...

Already I can get a job ticket/job bag as a webpage from our MIS. Printing the PDF to the required desktop printer is already solved. What I'm looking to do now is convert that webpage to a PDF so I can print it. I have seen numerous websites that offer this facility, but not the kind of thing I can...

A couple of my flows launch Acrobat. If these flows are busy, then Acrobat can launch and close quite frequently. This can really get in my way.

I'm looking for a way to have it launch minimized, or out of the way without focus.

I made machine hotfolders to handle the impos then had Switch prepare the file and drop it in to the relevant hotfolder.

WooHooo

Thanks!

Incase anyone needs to know, you escape all backslashes, so becomes
