Adobe Illustrator export PNG Sequence - export

I just started using Illustrator, and I'm wondering if it is possible to export every single layer to a png file. I can't find an answer on the web.
I found 1 script that should work, but nothing happens with that one..

Any ideas how it could work?
Thanks!

I found the solution already

New Gui does not accept placement "Right" on a command

I try to add a command on the new Gui with right placement but it adds automatically overflow to the .java file.
The Preview design shows it correct https://gyazo.com/eef78ee9d564c6957e62148db50e6bc4
but the simulator shows as overflowhttps://gyazo.com/a4023a18e48ee19a89bc86e294b5434f
Is it a bug?
Thanks in advance
This seems to be a bug in the GUI builder, we filed a lot of issues so please file this there too. It should work although might require you to go thru the steps again.
I would also suggest looking within the .gui file and seeing that the command generation looks correct.

Issue to import Adobe photoshop file in Expression Blend 4

I tried to import Adobe photoshop file in Expression Blend 4.But Layer effects(Gradient Overlay,Stroke,etc) are ignored.
What should i do to import the Adobe photoshop file without ignoring layer effects.
I think you'll find what you're looking for here. With extra attention to Tutorial #1 & Tutorial #5, as not all your effects will carry over, which is where PixelShaders will come in handy. As for using Photoshop, well if you're just importing a Raster image it's not the same as importing vectors. These tutorials should help clarify.
You likely received the down vote because this is a rather common question that has been asked before on SO, and elswhere on the web so it shows a lack of personal effort before asking it. Hope this helps! :)

Image (?) File(?) Metadata(?) Properties(?)

Sorry for the question marks, but a simple (I think) question has an impossible solution.
From file system, if I click on an image file "Properties | Details tab" I access to many metadata.
I need to access from a WPF application to the Description properties (Title, Subject, Rating, Tag and Comment). In particular Tag.
I have found a lot of articles, many are very old. A few in WPF and Imaging library. But no one access to that properties. So the question marks: are these properties on image? On file system? I think they are on the image..I don0t undestand where are these properties and why is so difficult to access...
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance,

You are referring to EXIF or Exchangeable Image File format data.
http://www.exif.org
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_image_file_format
Yes, there is code to allow accessing this. I would strongly suggest using an existing library over rolling you own with .net framework methods. Plainly put, they suck, are poorly documented and will result in bald spots on your head where there should be none.
See here for more info.
I think you are refering to the EXIF metadata
here is how to access it from an image object in .NET
The best tool I found to read metadata is ExifTool by Phil Harvey at http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool. The tool is written in Perl, but there is no need to install Perl. The tool has a complete command line syntax for anything you want to do. You can read nearly everything and write most things.

Best ways to convert XPS to PDF (and vice-versa)?

I have XPS documents being generated from XAML User Controls that act as templates. I want to convert the XPS documents into alternative formats, mainly PDF, programmatically with a .NET based API.
What is the best way to do this?
You can also use ABCpdf PDF Component for .NET . Version 7 can serve your purpose.
see http://www.websupergoo.com/abcpdf-12.htm.
it provides fully functional trial version unlike NiXPS and almost equally as fast as NiXPS.
The way I have done this in the past is print my XPS file to a PDF printer. I use cutePDF for this. So when you select to print, you print to cutePDF which prints a PDF version.
I am not sure if this will meet your needs but it has worked well for me in the past.
If you have OneNote, you can print to OneNote and then export as PDF at least in OneNote 2013. This seems better than having to install another third party tool.
After much searching, I found this SDK:
NiXPS
Its kindof expensive but works wonderfully. Goodbye fop!
If you want to do this in your own program, CloudConvert has a free and open source API built on the .NET framework by MadScripter.

WPF wmv/mpg files skipping and jumping

I am trying to play some WMV/MPG files using the MediaElement control and for some reason, the video files jump and skip while they are playing.
I have played them on their own, outside of the WPF application and they seem to play ok, so why might this be?
I do scale them so that they are smaller, could that be an issue?
Also, if you think that its a codec issue, can I download an application to see what type on encoding it has? I do have 1 (and only one) video file that plays perfectly, so I would want to mimic that one if possible.
EDIT: I just tried to use one of the Vista videos that sit in the "Sample Videos" folder and it is also jumpy... I have no idea why. Its a WMV file.
For some reason, I can get one video file to play ok, which is a MPG file (actually it only skips once, and its hard to notice), curious that its an MPG file thouh..
Thanks a lot!

I dont know the full reason why this might be happening, but I do have a suggestion to help you troubleshoot:
If you are looking for in depth information about a media file, I would recommend downloading VLC - I've found it to have very good metadata viewable relatively easily. Hope this helps.
Ok, so in a flurry of external libraries and articles I came across this codeplex library:
http://www.codeplex.com/WPFMediaKit
Which has a control the is a replacement for the MediaElement control, called MediaUriElement, I hot-swapped the WPF MediaElement control with this one and all the media issues went away! It even has a Loop flag so you dont have to reset the media Position property when the media ends!
Its only early days of testing, but so far so good :)
