[onNewOutputFile callback is not running during composition]

When I use the checkbox to enable my preview to turn my preview on, the checkbox is flickering on and turn back off in less than 1 sec. I don't get my preview.

Another occasion, I got an error box pop-up on the screen telling about some temporary file. I didn't catch the screen capture on that moment. I checked the temporary file, it was a file that FusionPro created to displaying the live preview on screen.

[onNewOutputFile callback is not running during composition]

I did you suggestion to use the FusionPro.Composition.IsPreview on onJobStart callback but I got an error when I try previewing my job. I thought that would solve my problem. I am thinking another way to do it by putting the code in onNewOutputFile and click to split file with some huge number bigger than the number of record in the file. I didnd't test it yet.

 

This is my code below

 

if(!FusionPro.Composition.IsPreview){
newFileExt = FusionPro.Composition.JobOptions["OutputFormat"];
inputFileName = GetFileName(FusionPro.Composition.inputFileName).split(".");

switch (newFileExt){

case "Indigo PPML":
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + "PPML");
break;

case "PostScript":
     newFileExt = ToLower("." + "ps");
break;

case "Digimaster":
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + "ps");
break;

case "Single-File VPS":
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + "vps");
break;

case "Multi-File VPS":
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + "vps");
break;

case "PDF":
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + "pdf");
break;

default:
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + newFileExt);
break;

}

FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName =  ReplaceFileExtension(GetFileName(inputFileName[0]), newFileExt);

}

I don't have output to multiple files selected because the data is split into several files already.

Can you explain about the preview error I got when I place my code in onJobStart?

[onNewOutputFile callback is not running during composition]

Hi,

 

I have a simple callback rule for onNewOutputFile

 

newFileExt = FusionPro.Composition.JobOptions["OutputFormat"];

switch (newFileExt){

case "Indigo PPML":
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + "PPML");
break;

case "PostScript":
     newFileExt = ToLower("." + "ps");
break;

case "Digimaster":
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + "ps");
break;

case "Single-File VPS":
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + "vps");
break;

case "Multi-File VPS":
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + "vps");
break;

case "PDF":
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + "pdf");
break;

default:
   newFileExt = ToLower("." + newFileExt);
break;

}

FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName =  ReplaceFileExtension(GetFileName(FusionPro.Composition.inputFileName), newFileExt);

Print("Replacing the output filename with the input filename:");
Print("Input file name is " + GetFileName(FusionPro.Composition.inputFileName));
Print("Output filename is " + FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName);

The callback doesn't even run the print statement at the bottom of the code. This rule runs fine with FusionPro 7.1.

 

I tried to experiment just putting a simple print function in onNewOutputFile

 

Print("Hello world!");

The composition doesn't log the print statement in my log file.

 

My other solution is put my code in onJobStart but it gives me an error when I try to preview my pdf.

 

Can you explain the changes from 7.1 to 7.2?
