Automate Task with Folder Actions



Turn on Folder Actions globally


To use Folder Actions, you must first turn this feature on globally. To do this, right-click or Control-click on any folder and choose Services -> Folder Actions Setup. (If you only have a few Services, you may not have a Services menu and will instead see the Folder Actions Setup menu item at the bottom of the contextual menu.) When you choose Folder Actions Setup, a small window opens showing a list of AppleScripts. Select Enable Folder Actions in the window and then quit (Command-Q).

Get alerted to incoming files


Now, let’s apply a simple, useful folder action to one of your folders. If you share files with others over a network, your colleagues may deposit files in your Mac's built-in Drop Box folder. But how do you know when a new document has arrived? Add a Folder Action that displays a dialog box whenever a new file is added to this folder.
To do this, first go to your Public folder. You’ll find it inside your home folder—the one with the house icon. (Or, in the Finder select Go -> Go To Folder and type ~/Public/). Right-click or Control-click on the Drop Box folder inside, choose Folder Actions Setup, click on “add - new item alert.scpt,” and then click on Attach.


Let’s try this out. Take any file and place it inside this folder. Within a few seconds you should see a dialog box telling you how many new items were added to the folder. This dialog asks if you would like to view these items. Click on Yes to open a window showing the files, or click on No to dismiss the dialog box. You may not need to see the files right away, but now you know that they have been added.


Once you attach the Folder Action to your Drop Box folder, you'll see an alert like this every time someone puts something in the folder.



Another way to use this same script is with your Dropbox folder. If you share files using Dropbox’s shared folders, you may want to know when you receive new files. Dropbox offers “desktop notifications”—floating alerts—but they fade away after a few seconds. Attach the same script we used above to a shared folder and you’ll see an alert whenever Dropbox downloads new files to that folder. Note that this only works when an item is added to the folder itself, not when someone adds an item to one of its sub-folders. If you have a lot of sub-folders in your shared folder, you can apply the same script to each of them to get alerts for all of the folders.

Explore OS X’s other built-in actions


OS X includes a handful of folder action scripts in the /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts folder. Let’s look at a couple of them and see how they can save you time.

In this folder, you’ll see a number of scripts that can act on graphics. For example, there are three scripts that can automatically convert image files to JPEG, PNG or TIFF format. Let’s say you have a blog, and you want all your graphics to be in JPEG format. Create a folder somewhere and attach the “image - Duplicate as JPEG.scpt” script to it. Every time you add an image file to that folder, it will be immediately converted.

There’s a nifty script if you often open a lot of folders within a specific folder. As you know, closing all those windows can be annoying. If you attach the “close - close sub-folders.scpt” script to a folder, any sub-folders that are open will be closed when you close the top-level folder. This is useful if you have projects that require you to access files in a lot of sub-folders.

Turn off Folder Actions


If you ever want to turn off Folder Actions for specific folders, you can access the Folder Actions Setup applet as described above by clicking on any folder. Dismiss the list of scripts, and you’ll see a list of those folders for which you’ve set Folder Actions, and which scripts you’ve attached to them. Turn off any of these by unchecking them, or delete any folder or script by selecting it and clicking on the minus button.



In this window, you can see all folders that have Folder Actions attached to them, and which scripts they are set to run.

How to Clear Your Scratch Disk and Photoshop Cache on Mac



If you are a macOS user who regularly works in programs like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and Adobe Photoshop, you’ve probably encountered errors relating to a "scratch disk." The most common error is "could not initialize Photoshop because the scratch disks are full".


What is a scratch disk?


Scratch disk is your hard drive space used by Photoshop as a virtual memory when there is not enough RAM to complete a task. Photoshop allows you to assign several scratch disks: that way, it has more space at its disposal.
When working with large images and lots of layers, Photoshop is secretly chewing up your Mac’s space by rapidly creating a mountain of project temp files.

What to do when your scratch disks are full?


1. Clear your Photoshop cache

Photoshop has an in-built solution for deleting specific Photoshop caches. When these pesky caches aren’t removed automatically by the program, they can grow and take up a lot of space on your scratch disk.
To use this tool simply enter Photoshop in Mac and with an image open:
  • Click the Edit menu button.
  • Hover your mouse over "purge" to reveal 4 different options.
  • Undo, Clipboard, Histories, All. If an item is greyed out, that means it has already been deleted.
  • Select the specific item you want to delete or select "all" to delete all of your caches.
  • You will be warned that the purge cannot be undone, so make sure you don’t need a previous version of one of your projects and then click OK.

2. Delete your temp files


If the in-built solution on Photoshop doesn’t do the job for you, let’s hunt down the culprits manually. Look for files on your Mac that begin with “pst” extension and then a string of numbers followed by the file extension “.tmp”.
Delete Photoshop Temp
To make sure your scratch disk is empty, search for “Photoshop Temp” on your Mac and look within your entire Mac’s hard drive. Mac will take a couple of minutes to list down all temp files on Photoshop. Wait for a while until the entire list pops up on screen and then safely delete each and every temporary file from your Mac.

3. Clear your disk space


Once in a while it is advisable that you review the drive contents on your Mac. In this way, you can get rid of unneeded files and data and save a few extra chunks of storage space on your device. Head on to Apple Menu > About This Mac > Storage tab.
Optimize Disk Space
In the storage graph, you’ll see a “Manage” button. Tap on this option to optimize storage space on your Mac. Make the most of these Mac tools and save some additional storage space on your device.

4. Change your scratch disk


Follow these steps to change your scratch disk in Photoshop:
  • Click on the Photoshop menu
  • Go to Preferences and then Scratch Disk
  • Tick the checkbox to select or remove a drive as the scratch disk
  • Click OK
  • Restart Photoshop

Adobe Indesign: Preferences and defaults


Set general preferences:



This section covers preference settings in the General tab of the Preferences dialog box. For information on other preferences, search for the appropriate setting.

  1. Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > General (Mac OS), and then choose the type of preferences you want to specify.
  2. In the Page Numbering section, choose a page numbering method from the View menu.
  3. In the Font Downloading and Embedding section, specify a threshold to trigger font subsetting based on the number of glyphs a font contains. This setting affects font downloading options in the Print and Export dialog boxes.

  4. In the When Scaling section, you can determine how scaled objects are reflected in panels and how the content of scaled frames behaves.


    • Select Apply To Content if you want the point size to change when a text frame is scaled. If this option is selected when a graphics frame is scaled, the percentage size of the image changes, but the frame reverts its percentage to 100%.
    • Select Adjust Scaling Percentage to display the original point size with the new point size in parentheses when you scale text. If this option is selected when you scale graphics frames, the percentage size of both the frame and image changes.

  5. Click Reset All Warning Dialogs to display all warnings, even the ones you’ve already checked not to display. (As warnings appear, you can select a check box to prevent the warning from appearing again.)

  6. Set defaults:

If you change settings when no documents are open, your changes set the defaults for new documents. If a document is open when you change settings, the changes affect only that document.
Similarly, if you change settings when no objects are selected, your changes set the defaults for new objects.

  • Change default settings for new documents

  • Close all documents.
  • Change any menu items or panel or dialog box settings.
  • Specify default settings for new objects in a document

    1. With document open, choose Edit >Deselect All.

    2. Change any menu items or panel or dialog box settings.

Restore all preferences and default settings:



    1. When InDesign is behaving erratically, deleting preferences (also referred to as “trashing preferences” or “removing preferences”) often solves the problem.

    2. It’s a good idea to make a backup copy of the preference files called InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData. Instead of removing your preferences, you can copy these backup files over the problematic corrupt preference files and not lose any customizations.
      Mike Witherell provides a detailed list of which files are affected when you restore preferences in Adobe InDesign Presets (PDF, English only).

      1. Do one of the following:


        • (Windows) Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
        • (Mac OS) While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
      Various program preferences and default settings are stored in the Adobe InDesign preferences files. These files, including the InDesign Defaults file, are saved each time you exit from InDesign. For manual deletion or renaming, the locations of the preference files are as follows:


      • Mac OS
        InDesign SavedData
        Users/[user]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version [version]/InDesign SavedData
        InDesign Defaults
        Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version [version]/InDesign Defaults
      • Windows XP
        InDesign SavedData
        \Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version [version]\Caches
        InDesign Defaults
        \Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version [version]
      • Windows Vista or Windows 7
        InDesign SavedData
        Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version [version]\Caches\InDesign SavedData
        InDesign Defaults
        C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version [version]\InDesign Defaults
