Need help on creating Switch flow

Post by mrkkrai »

I need help on creating Switch flow

I'm getting multiple zip files in input folder:
Image
Zip files contain files like this:
Image
I'm unarchiving and adding unique numbers (highlighted) as prefix to each job folder and InDesign file by "Rename job" like this:
Image
Using "Set hierarchy path", job folders are arranged in "Production" folder date-wise (dd-mm-yy):
Image
I create PDFs of InDesign files. PDFs move in a "hot folder" where a rip software converts them to TIFF and send back to Switch.

Bottlenecks:
1. Need to create a subfolder "[job_name]_softproof" inside job folder.
2. Need to move that TIFF file inside this subfolder.

Here's my flow:

I'm not using any XML/Metadata.

Thank you.

When the tiff-file returns from your RIP you should add hierarchy path with three segments:

1. [Switch.Date:Format="dd-mm-yy",TimeZone="System"]
2. [Job.NameProper]
3. [Job.NameProper]_Softproof

That should be all, I guess, assuming that the tiff-file is returned on the same day as the other files are being archived :-)
