PMd you re. an existing bug relating to blanking EXIF data.

Apart from that my testing shows all other bugs fixed :).

I've had a look at the manual - seems to have all the info you need to get going - have you added the information about how to run these scripts in PS Elements? E.g. go to File -> open and select the javascript file you want to run. No scripts menu for us cheapskates!

If you could do a series of screen shots showing exactly how to run the scripts from Elements that would be extremely helpful for the manual.

Just looking at the EXIF lines now..
 
OK - will sort some screen shots asap - give me 30 mins...

Brilliant.

Just preparing a second test program for people to run. I am a little worried by some of the Windows XP results from previous test program.
 
Right, another one for everyone here ESPECIALLY PEOPLE RUNNING XP OR ANYONE STILL RUNNING W98!

Please can people download this file : HERE

Once downloaded unpack the zip file and copy the file ts002.js to your script directory then once there can you restart your photoshop/elements and run the script called TS002.JS

The script will tell you that it has finished and should have created a file in your script directory called "Return Me2.txt"

What I would like is for people to post a response on here with the contents of the "return me2.txt" file


This will help me absolutely no end !!!!

Mine for example says:

FL_ScriptsFolder = '/Applications/Adobe%20Photoshop%20CS3/Presets/Scripts'
FL_UsersDocumentsDirectory = '~/Documents'
FL_UsersPicturesDirectory = '~/Pictures'
BridgeTalk.appName = 'photoshop'
$.os = 'Macintosh OS 10.5.6'
OperatingSystem() = 'MACOS'
Folder.myDocuments = '~/Documents'
FL_UsersEBSDirectory = '~/EBS'
 
FL_ScriptsFolder = '/d/Adobe/Adobe%20Photoshop%20CS2/Presets/Scripts'
FL_UsersDocumentsDirectory = '~/Documents'
FL_UsersPicturesDirectory = '~/Pictures'
BridgeTalk.appName = 'photoshop'
$.os = 'Windows 6.0 Service Pack 1'
OperatingSystem() = 'undefined'
Folder.myDocuments = '~/Documents'
FL_UsersEBSDirectory = '~/EBS'

That's Vista 32 SP1 again.

I said when you first told me about the EXIF data bit that I didn't realise it was broken as it DID work. I have just tested it on mine and it is still working ie

If you run the script on a new picture or non exif picture then it (by default) leaves a blank line but if the variable EXblanklinefornonexif is true i.e. ticked ON then it displays "Non EXIF data".

I am going to be testing on my Vista and XP machines in about half an hour so will check there too.

OK - have PM'd you with links to screenshots and with a few words for the manual.

And here is the results of TS002.js:

Its another "Windows x" thing. We have seen this before with VISTA appearing as "Windows 6"......

Keep these snippets coming it is things like this that cause those silly "Why is it not working on my computer but IS on everyone elses bugs"

By the way, without this, it would NOT have worked on your computer - but it WILL now :)

I just re-tested this - I reckon it must be due to the funny nature of the image I am using. I tried with the 'blank if no EXIF' box both checked and unchecked. In both cases it has put the word 'undefined' where there would normally be camera info. If I use a brand new image it is fine and doesnt put anything there. SO I imagine it must be specific to my image which must have remnant EXIF data somehow. In other words - I would go ahead with the release as its an unlikely scenario and also its not major - you simply uncheck all the EXIF boxes and nothing will be printed anyway.

Well just wasted 2 hours so far....

Installer now working every time but when you run it you have to select the install directory with a directory select dialog box. There does not seem to be a variable to specify the directory of the currently running script!

Folder.current was what I was using but this does not work in a lot of situations hence the problems...... Just waiting to see if PAUL R knows a way round it :)
 
He is an absolute star !

He has just replied so now the installer should work for everyone :)
 
Now running on CS2 under XP and installer working as expected......

Mrs Cowasaki making tea :) no beer only bears !

Its all looking hopeful..........
 
I am on virtual tenterhooks... I'm currrently using one of the earlier scripts, but I'm more than looking forward to the release of v.2 - and happy to cough up for it!

Well thanks, I have pretty much finished now but cosmix3 has just pointed out a problem with the batch process in that it outputs ONLY jpeg files. Clearly that is not good enough for every job so I am quickly writing a new front end for the batch processor allowing you to select your output file type.

It will ONLY allow users to select the file type in this version but keep things like jpeg image quality etc etc for version 2.01 !
 
Well "the cosmix3" modification on the batch processor is done and you can now select jpeg or tiff as output files.

I am going to launch it with just these two file types but will add all the normal ones in due course and they will be part of version 2.01.

You make it sound so easy! But I'll bet it's not. Wayne
 
Please feel free to download it now.

Ducks for cover......
 
I may be having a blonde moment but your link on the first page isnt working, or should i be looking elsewhere?

Not Found

The requested URL /SW/install.zip was not found on this server.
 
Yeah, link not working?
 
Sorry it was still uploading :)

Working now.....

I think it had gone a bit funny !
 
Thanks Darren!
 
I'm sat here like an expectant father now, can people let me know as soon as they have installed it and its working or not.

REMEMBER DELETE THE OLD VERSION
EACH USER ON YOUR COMPUTER MUST RUN THE USER EDITOR BEFORE IT WILL WORK!

ALL VISTA USERS MUST FOLLOW THE VISTA SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE THEY INSTALL (SEE MANUAL) OR POST #6
 
Hmm.

Thought I had it right - deleted old files first. Restarted PS and the photo gallery worked very smoothly. Trying some other options now and I'm being told that USER DATA LIB file is missing.

It is created by the "EDITOR - USER DATA" you need to run that script - This is to make it truly multi user.
 
SORRY - ignore my last - reading the manual now... Doh!
 
Should I be seeing 'Install' listed along with the other scripts in the PS drop-down menu?
