Get the missing links from server

[tpk1982]

Hi,

I need to find the missing links in the server if anything present with the same image name.

Step 1: Get the missing link name

Step 2: Choose the main folder (for now i used Test_Images) to search the image. We need to search in the subfolders too

Step 3: Copy the found image to Recovered Missing Link folder (created a folder where active document )

I got some help useful threads in the forum (Re: need to relink missing links to files with extensions ). Thank you [Jongware] .But those are useful to link the images. I need to collect the images and copy in a particular folder.

The below coding not copy the images.

var i, j, searchfolder, movefolder=[];  
for (j=0; j<app.documents.length; j++) {  
    doc = app.documents;  
    imgs = doc.links;  
    path = doc.filePath;  
    searchfolder = searchfolder || new Folder(path);  
    searchfolder = searchfolder.selectDlg(  
    "Find a path to "+doc.name+"'s images. Should contain "+  
        imgs[0].name+".*");  
    for (i=0; i<imgs.length; i++)  
    {  
        if (imgs.status == LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING)  
        {  
            imglist = findAnyFileDownThere(imgs.name, searchfolder);  
            if (imglist.length == 1)  
            {  
                    movefolder.push( Folder(path + "/Recovered Missing Link/").getFiles() ); 
            }  
        }  
    }  
}  
function findAnyFileDownThere (filename, path)  
{  
var result, folderList, fl;  
result = Folder(path).getFiles (filename+".*");  
if (result.length > 0)  
  return result;  
folderList = Folder(path).getFiles(function(item) { return item instanceof Folder && !item.hidden; });  
for (fl=0; fl<folderList.length; fl++)  
{  
  result = findAnyFileDownThere (filename, path+"/"+folderList[fl].name);  
  if (result.length > 0)  
   return result;  
}  
return [];  
}  

Please help to solve this.

Advance thanks,

Hi,

Hm..., to copy I suggest to use method File.copy()

...and to relink - method Link.relink()

var
  i, j,
  doc, imgs, path, cName, cFile,
  imglist, searchfolder, movefolder;   
for (j=0; j<app.documents.length; j++) {   
    doc = app.documents;   
    imgs = doc.links;   
    path = doc.filePath;   
    searchfolder = searchfolder || new Folder(path);   
    searchfolder = searchfolder.selectDlg(   
    "Find a path to "+doc.name+"'s images. Should contain "+   
        imgs[0].name+".*");   
    for (i=0; i<imgs.length; i++)   
    {   
        if (imgs.status == LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING)   
        {   
            cName = imgs.name;
            imglist = findAnyFileDownThere(cName, searchfolder);   
            if (imglist.length == 1)   
            {   
                 movefolder = Folder(path + "/Recovered Missing Link"); 
                 if (!movefolder.exists) movefolder.create();
                 cName = imglist[0].name;
                 cFile = File(movefolder + "/"+ cName);
                 if (!cFile.exists) imglist[0].copy(cFile);
                 imgs.relink(cFile);
            }   
        }   
    }   
}   
function findAnyFileDownThere (filename, path)   
{   
var result, folderList, fl;   
result = Folder(path).getFiles (filename);   
if (result.length > 0)   
  return result;   
folderList = Folder(path).getFiles(function(item) { return item instanceof Folder && !item.hidden; });   
for (fl=0; fl<folderList.length; fl++)   
{   
  result = findAnyFileDownThere (filename, path+"/"+folderList[fl].name);   
  if (result.length > 0)   
  return result;   
}   
return [];   
}

Keeping Best Wishes for all these days
