Updating file triggers flow
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2020 10:59 am
Hello
I am not sure if this is even possible, but i thought i'd still ask.
I have illustrator files that are linked to Photoshop files. I need the flow to trigger when the illustrator files are updated.
The flow updates all links in photoshop and exports jpgs via script.
I am having trouble with triggering the photoshop part of the flow. at first i thought maybe this is possible with inject job? eg when the illustrator file is updated, switch injects the photoshop files to the flow via inject? But this does not seem to be working.
I need switch to notice that the illustrator files are updated(ignore updates: no), not move them, but instead give a "trigger" to the other part of the flow, which injects the photoshop files to the flow.
The illustrator files have different names, would it also be possible to inject only the PSD-s with the updated illustrator file, not all of them every time?
Illustrator folder has files: X100 X200 X300
Photoshop folder has files : X100_1 X100_2 X200_1 X200_2, etc. multiple photoshop files linked into one illustrator file.
Illustrator file X100 is updated in the folder. Switch activates and updates Photoshop files X100_1 and X100_2. Can i do this with metadata?, filename for example? Or should i just sort different files to different folders before running the photoshop part?
