ITX / OptiInk Scripting ________________________________________________________________________________________ grays in the watermark a subtle watermarking can be achieved. • New watermark command strings can be added if one checks out the available ImageMagick commands and parameters. It would also be possible to combine methods to achieve both image and text effects. 9.3.5. Structure The IMWatermark.vbs Script consists of a main routine which gets its parameters, formats an appropriate ImageMagick command line and then executes it. It has the following functions • GetArguments to get it’s the input parameters from the application. This also supports a local test mode if the script is run by double clicking and it will then ask for the arguments in turn. • WatermarkImage builds the command string by substituting parameters and then calls Imagemagick to perform the watermarking process • MoveToOutput performs the file renaming and clean up after the watermarking completes • Rename is a hook function which may be used to insert extra naming of the output file when used as a MoveBy Script. It is passed the original filename and also the name as configured on the Output process. It may manipulate both of these to produce a final output name. If it returns an empty string then the operation is skipped. • GetDateString is used to format a date to be used in etxt watermarking • CleanServerName cleans up supplied UNC Names • FindCmd is used to find the location of the highest version of Ghostscript or Imagemagick installations. By default these are searched in the default Program Files folders. Additional search paths may be added by editing the CMD_SEARCHPATh at the top of the script. • FindCmdInFolder supports the FindCmd function to locate a version of the cmd in a folder • GetProgramFilesPath gets the default Program Files path • InitLogging initialises logging • WriteLog writes a single log message ________________________________________________________________________________________ Agfa 25-Jan-11 Issue 001 Released Page 22 R.J.Tidey
ITX / OptiInk Scripting ________________________________________________________________________________________ 9.4. XMLArchive This script allows XML files which create jobs to be archived. It relies on a feature present in OptiInk/ITX which places the XML file in the filestore rather than deleting it after it has been read. This feature is present from build 1103 onwards. This script will NOT work with earlier versions. The XMLArchive.vbs script exiftool.vbs is designed as a post-process script that can copy the xml file in the filestore out to a new location. 9.4.1. Install To install XMLArchive.vbs • Copy XMLArchive.vbs to the _scripts folder under the filestore • Configure a Post-Process step to call XMLArchive.vbs. This may be done at any point in the sequence. Two types of configuration are possible. See the usage below. • Edit the ExifRules.txt to perform the operations required 9.4.2. Usage The script can be run as a named PostProcess script or by using the MoveByScript method. See below. Note that xml files which are matched against filenames can consist of either file.ext.xml or file.xml. The script does not know which method was used. By default it will archive the xml as file.xml. You can change this behaviour by setting the APPEND_XML constant at the top of the script equal to true. In this case all xmls will be archived as file.ext.xml 9.4.2.1. Script method Add a PostProcess script function and select the XMLArchive.vbs script. The script will be called and will archive any job xmls to an archive folder which is defined in the script. This defaults to C:\temp\. To change to a different location then edit the constant XML_ARCHIVEFOLDER at the top of the script. The script does support copying to multiple archive locations by configuring a list of folders as a CSV list. 9.4.2.2. MoveByScript method Rename the script to be MoveByScript.vbs and select the Move Result to Folder as a separate PostProcess step. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Agfa 25-Jan-11 Issue 001 Released Page 23 R.J.Tidey
