Apostrophe in File Path or File Name

As most of you know, you cannot edit a file in PE8 with Photoshop CS4 if the pathname or filename contains any special characters. The file gets locked in PE8 but does not open in CS4. In my case, it is apostrophe. Renaming the directories or files is not an option for me as I have 1000's of them.
Anyone knows whether this is a priority for Adobe and whether a fix is in the works? I went from PE6 to PE8 and I truly regret it as PE6 was a very stable version.

One of my users found that by right-clicking on the
attachment and selecting "Open" the file will open,
even when it has an apostrophe. It's a bit easier than
what I was having them do - Save the file or email it
to themselves.

  • Robohelp HTML 8 - Generating files with apostrophe in file name

    Before I start, I have read this thread
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/1062904#1062904 and several others, yet I still have questions.
    Previously I used Robohelp 5x, which worked perfectly.  Our user manuals are in MS Word and each have several topics that have apostrophes in the topic name (that are necessary in the topic).  Robohelp 5x would import the Word Document without issue and create HTML files that automatically replaced the apostrophe with an underscore.  All references (Index, TOC, etc) to those files also automatically changed to underscore.
    Fast Forward to Robohelp 8.0.2 (yes, I have the update).  Even if I go into the options and make sure "Use Underscores in file names" is selected - it no longer replaces the apostrophe with an underscore (though it does replace the spaces with underscores).
    Locally, when I generate the online help (WebHelp) and put it on our local webserver - it works just fine.  Even with the apostrophes in the file names and references.
    However, when the WebHelp files are hosted at our server hosting facility, any links within the Webhelp to files with an apostrophe result in a 404 error.  I have searched and searched to see if there is some kind of server setting to allow these special characters to be recognized in the file name but have not had any luck.
    Per the link at the beginning of this post, the issue in that thread was resolved by changing the file name of the HTML files.  I attempted to change the file name of the HTML files that RoboHelp created.  However as far as I can tell there is no way to do this within RoboHelp 8.  If I attempt to do it outside of RoboHelp 8, I need to import all of the "new" HTML files and all references (Table of Contents, Index, etc) now show broken links and need to be re-linked to this new topic.  This is not an option.  I have 12 user manuals that are updated on a regular basis and the renaming\relinking process would take forever.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Noob

    I was able to log into the server hosting facility and look at the html files themeslves.
    It appears that at some point (between when I created them locally and now) all of the apostrophes in the file names were changed to "Æ".  This blew my mind.  And sure enough if I plug in the URL and replace the apostrophe with "Æ" the page shows up just fine.
    From what I've been reading it looks like that may be related to the conversion from MS Word and "Smart Quotes".  I'm looking into that now, but any help would still be great.
    Thanks,

  • How to specify relative path for file name in java class

    I have a directory structure like this.

  • Error message: "Can't open file "[File path, file name].key"

    If I attempt to open any Keynote files, I now get this error message.
    "Can't open file "[File path: file name].key"
    To clarify, the text in the square brackets above would be the file path and then the file name.
    The file then will appear on the screen, but is unresponsive to any clicks or menu commands.
    The files will open successfully on other Macs, so they aren't corrupt.
    Also - I've just checked, and opening Keynote and trying to create a new presentation leads to the same problem: All screen menus / buttons are dead - all I can do is drag the window around the screen.
    I've tried to reinstall Keynote, but this hasn't resolved the problem.
    Is there some corrupt preference file (or similar) that I need to get rid of? Is there an easy way to do a complete uninstall of Keynote so I can try another install? Or is this a symptom of something else?
    All ideas gratefully appreciated!

    All the issues I describe in my questions around this time re: Keynote were actually symptoms of a soon-to-die laptop. The Hard Disc was corrupting, and Keynote was the first application to be affected.

  • SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

    Hi,
    I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
    to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
    I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
    "The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
    I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
    renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
    Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
    error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
    And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
    1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
    2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
    I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
    1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
    In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
    Clean the solution
    Shut down Visual Studio 2010
    Open Visual Studio 2010
    Rebuild the solution
    Package the project2
    et voila the package is generated!
    This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
    no longer be hanging onto something.
    Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
    solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
    2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
    3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
    does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
    4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
    from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
    5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
    6. The error seems to occur in
    CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
    Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
    project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
    Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
    Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
    project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

    Hi
    Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents  to
    c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
    This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
    Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
    Now, the error seems to be related to 
    Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
    <metaData>
    <type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
    <importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
    </metaData>
    <data>
    <properties>
    <property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
    <property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
    </properties>
    </data>
    </webPart>
    </webParts>
    .... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.

  • Install iTunes 10.4.1 install error - The Folder Path "File Name" contains an invalid character

    Upgraded computer from XP Prof 32-Bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit (Upgrade package, performed Custom Install).
    Attempt to install iTunes 10.4.1 for 64-Bit.  Receiving the following error/problem:
    The Folder Path "File Name on my external drive" contains an invalid character
    I click ok and then get this:
    The Installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.  Errors occurred during installation.  Your system could not be modified,  Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit.
    Any fixes for this?

    Sorry, one of us is not managing to be clear enough.
    Does the message read The Folder Path "File Name on my external drive" contains an invalid character or perhaps The Folder Path "<some path name here>" contains an invalid character?
    If so, then the problem might be just what it says it is with the path name in question... Either way if you list the path given in the error message in a reply to this thread it might provide a clue for anyone tying to help with the problem.
    You could try downloading the installer to C:\iTunesSetup.exe in case that helps.

  • Flat file connection: The file name "\server\share\path\file.txt" specified in the connection was not valid

    I'm trying to execute a SSIS package via SQL agent with a flat file source - however it fails with Code: 0xC001401E The file name "\server\share\path\file.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
    It appears that the problem is with the rights of the user that's running the package (it's a proxy account). If I use a higher-privelege account (domain admin) to run the package it completes successfully. But this is not a long-term solution, and I can't
    see a reason why the user doesn't have rights to the file. The effective permissions of the file and parent folder both give the user full control. The user has full control over the share as well. The user can access the file (copy, etc) outside the SSIS
    package.
    Running the package manually via DTExec gives me the same error - I've tried 32 and 64bit versions with the same result. But running as a domain admin works correctly every time.
    I feel like I've been beating my head against a brick wall on this one... Is there some sort of magic permissions, file or otherwise, that are required to use a flat file target in an SSIS package?

    Hi Rossco150,
    I have tried to reproduce the issue in my test environment (Windows Server 2012 R2 + SQL Server 2008 R2), however, everything goes well with the permission settings as you mentioned. In my test, the permissions of the folders are set as follows:
    \\ServerName\Temp  --- Read
    \\ServerName\Temp\Source  --- No access
    \\ServerName\Temp\Source\Flat Files --- Full control
    I suspect that your permission settings on the folders are not absolutely as you said above. Could you double check the permission settings on each level of the folder hierarchy? In addition, check the “Execute as user” information from job history to make
    sure the job was running in the proxy security context indeed. Which version of SSIS are you using? If possible, I suggest that you install the latest Service Pack for you SQL Server or even install the latest CU patch.

    Thanks,

    Hi AltafB,
    For your situation, you can short the path for the source code. Or use a short path for build agent folder in your build definition. You can refer to the links below to solve your problem:

  • How can I extract a file name / path from a local path variable in TestStand?

    I have local TestStand string variable, call it 'locals.path', that contains a path to a file including the file name (c:\inputs\input.txt). I need to be able to split up the path (c:\input) and the file name (input.txt) and save them into 2 local variables. What is the best way to do this?
    After reading through some of the other forums, it looks like there are some built-in functions that can accomplish this, but I am unable to find how to use them anywhere on the NI web site. One forum said to use the File I/O>Strip Path.file function. How is this called? Is this function in a DLL?
    I know that there are a number of DLLs that are installed with TestStand into the c:\windows\system32 directory. One forum made note of CVI_OpenFile / CVI_ReadFIle functions in the cvirt.dll that I used to solve a problem that I had in the past. The problem is that I had no idea that that these functions even existed and would have never known unless a similar question had been posted previously. Is there some place that these DLL function interfaces are defined or documented? Is there a function that can extract the file name out of a string for me?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi,
    There sound like functions in say LabVIEW or CVI.
    I have attached a small example which may help. (I have not allowed for any error trapping, if say you dont find the file and cancel)

  • Problem using af:inputfile when only file name is given without path.URGENT

    Hai Friends,
    I am using input file type and <h:commandLink to upload a file. But when I type only the file name without the path like(hello.jpg) and try to submit then a javascript error occured "Access is denied". But my requirement is when i type without the path, that is only the file name i need to do some validations, like appending a global path with this file name and upload the file... the following is the code am having...
    <af:form id="address" usesUpload="true" >
    <af:inputFile id="id" value="#{BKb.batchFile}"/>
    <h:commandLink action="#{.uploadFile}">
    <h:outputText value="Upload" styleClass="buttonNoDecoration"/>
    </h:commandLink>
    <h:commandLink action="#{BKb.clearFile}">
    </h:commandLink>
    </af:form>
    can u help me in this issue...
    Thanks in advance,
    Ciya

    I figured out the problem, and it was caused by JHeadstart. I placed a default display value in JHeadstart for the download link. This caused a default values bean to be created by jheadstart and that bean was what was causing my problem. The download link had a display value, but not a valid path. I removed the default value, re-generated the screen and it is totally fixed. I have pretty much decided that it is never a good idea to use a default value in Jheadstart.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Acrobat registry keys to create file name and path

    Hi,
    I need to find a way to get my Acrobat to create a pdf with the same name as the drawing file it's created from and in the same folder as the drawing file. The folder path will vary from drawing to drawing.
    I need this to happen automatically, without prompting for the file name or the destination.
    I see there is a way to set a pre-defined path using registry keys but is there a way to use registry keys to set the filename and path of the drawing, please?
    I would rather not use scripting as I don't really know how to do it.
    Thanks,
    Barnaby

    I think it will use the path and name of the original file if you do not prompt for a file name. I always ask, so I am not sure.

  • Accessing Enterprise report's file name and path in VBS

    I am trying to capture the name and location of reports within the input store.  I want to create a file that contains the ID, Report Title, Path and File Name.  Here is the snippet of code I have so far:
    Set SessionManager = CreateObject("CrystalEnterprise.SessionMgr")
    set Sess = SessionManager.Logon(usr,psw,aps,sec)
    set iStore = Sess.Service ("", "InfoStore")
    set reports = iStore.Query("SELECT SI_ID,SI_NAME FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_INSTANCE = 1 AND SI_RUNNABLE_OBJECT = 1 and SI_NAME LIKE 'PCTCR%' )
    for each report in reports
      File = report.Item(1)
      filetxt.WriteLine( Cstr(report.id) & "," & report.title & "," & Path & "," & FileName)
    next
    In looking at the Query Builder, I see SI_FILE1 and SI_PATH in the SI_FILES property bag contain the information I want.  I am having difficulty finding an example of how to extract this information.
    If someone can supply the missing pieces of code it would be greatly appreciated.

    I have found the answer I was seeking.  Just in case someone else would like to have it, I am posting a snippet of my code:
            Console.WriteLine("Capturing report information")
            Dim reports = iStore.Query("SELECT TOP 5000 SI_ID,SI_NAME,SI_PARENT_FOLDER,SI_FILES FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND = 'CrystalReport' AND SI_INSTANCE = 0 ORDER BY SI_ID")
            Dim TotalRpts = reports.count
            Dim Cnt = 0
            For Each report In reports
                Cnt = Cnt + 1
                Console.Write("Processing report " & CStr(Cnt) & " of " & CStr(TotalRpts) & vbCr)
                FolderString = ""
                sFolder = report.properties("SI_PARENT_FOLDER")
                BuildFolder(sFolder.value)  ' this code can be found in a number of places
                File = report.Properties("SI_FILES").Properties("SI_FILE1")

                If Left(Path.value, 12) = "frs://Input/" Then Path = Right(Path.value, Len(Path.value) - 12)
                Path = InputStorePath & Path.Replace("/", "\")
                File = Path & File.value
                filetxt.WriteLine(CStr(report.id) & Comma & Quote & report.title & Quote & Comma & Quote & FolderString & Quote & Comma Quote & File & Quote)
