Re: Convert a script to use Traffic Light output
Thanks Gabriel your script appears so clean and readable, even though it is still way beyond me I can at least see how you handle your errors. I have edited the script I had as below and it seems to work in a test. I'm very scared to put it into production though as I'm so inept at scripting. OLD - ...

Convert a script to use Traffic Light output
This is the area of Switch I have most to learn about. I have a script made by a previous person and it can error. I think that having a traffic light output connector will help me move the problem jobs away from the good ones. The script does throw an error (something like an undefined variable or ...

Re: How do I preflight for an item with zero fill and is knockout (but the designer thinks has a fill)
I have now fixed this. The cause was that prepress run a Quite Hot imposing action followed by a Pitstop action. There is nothing wrong with these tools normally, but these two actions when run one after the other break transparencies. I have replaced the Quite Hot action with a Pitstop one that ach...

Re: Quite hot imposing
If you write to them, they will make anything you need.
Are you using Quite Hot in Switch?

Re: How do I preflight for an item with zero fill and is knockout (but the designer thinks has a fill)
Thanks for that. I have investigated further and found 2 steps in prepress that are causing the error. I'm not sure now how the steps are causing this though At the same link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nSlKOBW9JBJjv3c_2NYAFdfIp2wT7Zeg?usp=sharing I now have "A LF" and "B ...

How do I preflight for an item with zero fill and is knockout (but the designer thinks has a fill)
Examples here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nSlKOBW9JBJjv3c_2NYAFdfIp2wT7Zeg?usp=sharing Though they appear to have the same settings, File 'A' ripped OK and File 'B' did not. The results when ripped and printed was solid white circles as the RIP is (correctly I believe) knocking out benea...

Re: Upgrading from Switch 13 r1 to 2018 - I'm worried - any tips?
Thanks for that. Very useful. I'd hate to be in that kind of mess during production time.
Should I aim to reference all actions and preflights from the "Select Many from Library" before upgrading Pitstop?

Upgrading from Switch 13 r1 to 2018 - I'm worried - any tips?
This will be my first upgrade. Clearly we are a little out of date, being on 13 r1, I am now looking to upgrade to 2018. I'm looking for any tips - or answers to the below if you have them - thanks. Should I upgrade to 13 r2, or jump straight to 2018? How long will an upgrade take (roughly)? I'm thi...

Info from unknown XML
Hi, I'm trying to solve an issue where I receive XML similar to the below. It could have any number of sections and I'm looking for a number for how many sections there are. This example has 8. Along with that, I'm looking for the Quantity value for each of the sections. <Kinds> <Kind> <Key>27747</K...

Do something useful when script errors
I have scripts that are designed to throw errors
Can I catch this error in Switch and send the job off elsewhere instead of it just failing at this point?
Code: Select all
if (result !== "Success") {
throw new Error("Message: " + result);
}
return result;
}
