Re: Erase Private Data Tag

I have checked this using the Private Data Extractor app, which can export an xml or attach a dataset with all the job's private data, and I can confirm:
ORIENTATION=
effectively "erases" the tag.

Re: Filetypes Counter Upgrade Problem

When I try your condition "xmlcount.xml.count" is equal to 1, this returns false indeed.
The correct condition is [Job.PrivateData:Key="xmlcount.xml.count"] is equal to 1.
This returns true, and the job goes to the expected connection.

Re: Filetypes Counter Upgrade Problem

I wrote the Filetypes Counter app. Happy to read you use it a lot. Versions 3 and 4 are now written in Node.js, and add a dataset with all the info. And indeed, the same private data keys as in v2 are added, so it does not break anything in your flow. You write jobs go to the Problem jobs folder. I ...

Ungroup the job first. Then sort the files to A or B, depending on the printing method or any other condition. Add the Counter Numberer app after folder A and after folder B, you will have the number of files that went to A, and the number of files that went to B, in different counters (and private ...

Re: Output folder destination path with variables

Use the "Set hierarchy path" element, and define your folder hierarchy using Switch variables. Then use the Archive hierarchy element and define (more than) enough subfolder levels. Last week I presented our Switch monthly workshop , with this topic. If you have an existing folder structur...

Re: Creating multiple PDFs with variable page sizes from CSV file

Yes, it is possible. First do this with a PitStop action list using variables and a variable set. Then use PitStop Server and Switch to automate it, and to pass Switch variables to your PitStop action list. If you don't have Switch yet but are considering it, as a PitStop user, here are two interest...

Re: Files not accessible

Hi Mireille, Is there an anti-virus software on the Switch Server? If it scans the files while Switch is processing them, this strange behavior could be explained. So, if there is, ask your IT manager to disable it. Incoming jobs can be scanned for virusses within Switch using a CLI anti-virus softw...

Re: Preserve structure, delete content (Once a week)

You can use 2 apps for that: • File pool cleanup, part of the Folder Apps bundle. • Inject Wildcard With both apps you can delete the files only and keep the folders. You can also use time filters, to only delete files older than 7 days. I don't see the complete flow, but you can send the files to s...
