Customizing ArcMap layout view - arcgis

I am using the latest ArcMap (version 10.8.2) and fairly new at using the program. I am currently creating an ArcMap file to append layout view features from for future projects. With that said, there are two things I want to control, map scale and date stamp.
First, for map scale is there any way to make sure that when I append FROM a master ArcMap file via "Change Layout", with a specific map scale set, that the file I'm appending TO reflects that exact map scale? So, if my master/append file is set at 1:4800 my new file will scale to that when appended in layout view. Second, is there any way to create a date stamp that will automatically update to the current date that you're working in the file? I work for NRCS and we do a lot of field work for farmers. When there's a revision made to their project, I have to print out the map in layout view and would like a date to show without having to always type it in.
Any help with these two is greatly appreciated.
Tried to figure these out in ArcMap, as well as Googled cheats/tips, with no success. Maybe neither are doable?

Write to left and right display

I have a Lily58 Pro, this is a split keyboard with two displays. I am looking for a way to display text and images on both displays.
To create my custom firmware I have done the following:
Copy default Lily58 firmware
Alter the layers in keymap.c file.
As far as I understand I need to alter the oled_task_user() method to write to the secondary (right hand side) display. The QMK Documentation provides some kind of example but I don't understand it.
Should I be importing something from the split_commom package?
Question
How do I display text/image on the secondary display? A small example would be much appreciated.

Clarifai GUI. How to view the predictions for a specific file id

I cannot find a way to find a specific file in a custom model via the online GUI. I have uploaded the file via the api along with several hundred images used for training. How can I filter the files displayed using the image id only. From there can I view the results of the prediction. I tried drag and drop and got a selected image displayed with a selected tick mark.
Anybody any idea where I go from here?
Or is there another way?

Is there a way to isolate the view of code-regions in IntelliJ?

I have some static HTML and want to generate templates out of it. Looking through the HTML tags I often find myself adding the tags I don't want to have in my templates because I went too far down in the hierarchy. Is there a way to kind of isolate the view of a marked code area? Like greying all unmarked code out somehow?
I'm still not 100% sure what you mean by "mark". I'm assuming you mean "select", that is highlight with the cursor, like this:
If that is the case... here is some info.
There is no way to "highlight" the selected portion and work with it, nor a way "dither out" the non selected portion as you go on to work with the desired portion. You could, however, make use of scratch files to work on the desired text. (Scratch files at IntelliJ IDEA help documentation)
With the portion you want to modify selected, if you create a new scratch file (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Insert / ⇧⇧N or Tools > New Scratch File), the selected portion will be copied into a scratch file:
You could then work in that scratch file, then copy and paste the final result back into the original file (the changes you make in the scratch file are not "linked" to the original file).
Because you have a portion selected when you launch the scratch file, IDEA creates a scratch file of the same type (HTML in this case) as the selected content. (If done without selected text, a popup is shown asking the type of scratch file you want to create.) If you want JSP syntax awareness, in the HTML scratch file, open the context menu (i.e. right click) and select "Change Language" and select JSP from the menu (inline search is available, so you can just start typing JSP).

Photoshop Actions - Is this possible?

Okay, here's what's going on..
I have a folder that has 200 images in it.
They're all named - p001.png, p002.png, p003.png... all the way up to p200.png
I need to create an Action that pulls in 2 images at a time, in ascending order.
After Resizing & Positioning the images, I need to add text above each image that says "Image #X"
(in place of 'X', would be the number of the corresponding image)
Once it finishes with the 1st two images, it saves it in a specified folder; and pulls in the next 2 images.
And just repeats the process until it goes through all 200 images.
Here's my 2 questions:
1 - Is it possible to pull in 2 images at a time in ascending order, from a specified folder, via an Action?
2 - Is it possible to replace 'X' with the image's number, as it moves up in ascending order?
Any kind of help with this would be Greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
p.s. I'm using PhotoShop cs5.5 if that makes a difference
First checkout the Contact Sheet functionality, perhaps you can achieve your tasks this way.
In terms of scripting, there are indeed functions available to :
load a file into the document
create a text layer
set the text of the text layer
Check out the Photoshop CS5 JavaScript Language Reference for more details.
Additionally, you should have Extend Script Toolkit installed as well.
Run Extend Script Toolkit then give this a quick go:
#target photoshop
alert("Hello World!");
Using the Object Model Viewer (available under the Help menu) you should be able to select the Photoshop Type Library and view useful available objects such as Application,Document,Layer, etc. and see their properties and methods.
Additionally the Data Browser panel and autocomplete should help.

Photoshop jsx image grid

What I am ultimately trying to do is to create a grid of images for print that are minor variations of the same thing (different text is all). Looking through online resources I was able to create a script that changes the text and exports all of the images necessary (several hundred). What I am trying to do now is to import all of these images into a new photoshop document and lay them all out in a grid and I can't seem to find any examples of this.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to place a file at a specific coordinate (I'm using CS5 and have the design suite so if there is a way in illustrator to do this quickly...)?
Also, I'm open to other ideas on how to do this (even other programs) easily. It's for labels so the positioning on the sheet has to be pretty precise...
The art layer object has a translate() method that takes delta x and y params. You'll need to open each image, copy it to the target document, get its current location (using artLayer.bounds) and do the math to find the deltas to position it where you want it. Your deltas can be in pixels so you'll get plenty of precision.
Check out your 'JavaScript Scripting Reference' pdf in your Adobe install directory for more details.
Ok I'm marking Anna's response as the answer because though I didn't fully test it, it seems like it should work and answers the original question with jsx. However I'm also leaving my final solution in case anyone else runs across this with the same issue and may prefer this method as well.
What I ended up doing instead is using InDesign. I figured out that it has a grid option that lets you import a number of files and place them all in an equal grid in a single command. This is almost exactly what I was looking for, except that it leaves a small border/margin in between the columns and grids and mine were designed to meet exactly.
I couldn't figure out how to make it not have the border (I have very little experience with InDesign, it may be possible). However I was able to select all my images and scale them uniformly to be the correct size, then I just selected each column and dragged it over to snap to the adjacent column and the same with rows...
