Does Java/JVm have a way to ditinguish between real files and Symbolic link

Hello guys,
I am using java.io.File.listFiles to list files in a directory. I have a symbolic link in the directory. the "listFiles" listing symbolic file contents too. As the real directory Symbolic link pointing is huge, the application taking too much time to load. is it a normal behaviour? are there any work arounds?

Short version: If getCannonicalPath() and getAbsolutePath() return different values, then the file you look at is a symlink.

  • Does Aperture 2 have a way of converting raw images to png or jpeg.

    Does Aperture 2 have a way of converting raw images to png or jpeg

    That's why we're here
    In regards to your original question converting RAW images to JPGs is one of Apertures reason for being. As Terrence stated once the image is in Aperture ad you've made chatterer adjustments you want to it you then can export the image in a wide array of formats, sizes and qualities depending on what you will be doing with the exported image.
    The Aperture user manual is a good place to start, it's well written and has a lot of good info in it.
    Good luck

  • Does anyone still have problems with Premier Pro on Maverick? and is there any known fix?

    Does anyone still have problems with Premier Pro on Maverick? and is there any known fix?

    I know OSX 10.9 Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap which is meant to slow down applications that it determins are inactive (or when minimized). This would mostly likely cause problems if you're dynamically linking After Effects comps to your timeline or sometimes exporting to Media Encoder.
    Try disabling App Nap for all your Adobe App files...
    Go to your Applications folder
    Go into individual Adobe app folders (ie. Adobe Premiere Pro CC)
    Right-click on the Adobe app file (ie. Adobe Premiere Pro CC.app) and select Get Info
    When the info window opens up, add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
    Restart the application
    This fixed all my performance issues.

  • What is the best, most efficient way to read a .xls File and create a pipe-delimited .csv File?

    What is the best and most efficient way to read a .xls File and create a pipe-delimited .csv File?
    Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
    ITBobbyP85

    You should have no trouble doing this in SSIS. Simply add a data flow with connection managers to an existing .xls file (excel connection manager) and a new .csv file (flat file). Add a source to the xls and destination to the csv, and set the destination
    csv parameter "delay validation" to true. Use an expression to define the name of the new .csv file.
    In the flat file connection manager, set the column delimiter to the pipe character.

  • I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

    I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

    While not in edit mode:
    - if start typing numbers, then it enters number mode.
    - if start typing text, then it enters text mode.
    Using the arrow keys exits edit mode. So this should work for you:
    1 Type text into a cell, which enters text mode.
    2 Press Return to move to the next cell.
    3 Press right arrow key to exit edit mode.
    4 Press left arrow key to get back to the cell.
    5 Type a number, which enters number mode.
    Another method that requires more planning ahead of time is to format the cells as text or number before starting the data entry. Then when you navigate to a cell while in edit mode, you will be in the appropriate mode (without having to exit edit mode).
    This all works fine for me. Hopefullly it does for you also.

  • Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. HELP!!

    Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. I know that the folders that have the problem were not transferred to the hard drive via a photo transfer application (I have a Canon camera) but I simply copied them out of the photo card and onto my old PC.
    Is there some way I can open these pictures on my Mac? They work fine on a PC.

    Thanks for your reply.
    The files don't open in preview either. In preview I get the error message 'The file "xxxx_xxx.jpg" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize'. The folders with these un-openable pictures do not even get imported into iPhoto. When I try to import them I get an error message about the files being unreadable.
    The color profile information on the un-openable files is not visible but I see that all the other files from my old drive are RGB.

  • Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another?

    Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another??  I want to use the more vibrant color, but when I try to reproduce the same RGB color code in another Adobe Illustrator (ai) file, it shows up darker.  I printed the two files out, and you can see the difference in the print too.  I exported the color orginally as an eps file from an ArcGIS map.
    Any insight is greatly appreciated!

    You illustrator files may have different color profiles attached.
    Set to show your color profile in the bottom left of each document by using the flyout menu >> show >> document color profile
    Then you can use edit >> assign profile to get them the same
    Yours are quite far off for RGB (which are usually close to each other for many profile due to wide gamut).  I question as Jacob did if one of your documents are in CMYK mode. Look in parenthesis after the document name at top of window.
    Check if view > proof setup is the same (do not use the uncoated profile as in my screenshot, that was only there cause of my testing)
    Make sure view >> proofs colors is checked or unchecked for both.
    To get them to print the same, check these settings are the same
    Sorry for all the screenshots, but hopefully one day we will see Adobe's complex color management united all in one window.

  • PE 13 crashes due to incompatible video driver detected. Running on Win 7 SP1 with ATI 540v video card/driver.  Deleting bad driver file in adobe program data does not fix the problem,  it simply replaces the text file and crashes again.  My video driver

    PE 13 crashes due to incompatible video driver detected. Running on Win 7 SP1 with ATI 540v video card/driver.  Deleting bad driver file in adobe program data does not fix the problem,  it simply replaces the text file and crashes again.  My video driver is just fine.  Any help out there?

    rb
    Your video card driver may be fine for something, but just not compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1.
    For those with the display card error, the answers include
    a. assure your video card/graphics card driver version is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card -
    if necessary consider a driver roll back.
    b. determine in Device Manager/Display Adapters if the computer is using 2 cards instead of 1
    c. delete the BadDrivers.txt file
    the rationale for that deletion is found in post 10 of the following older post...principle applies to 13 as well as 9.
    Re: Premiere Elements 9 Tryout Serious Display Problem
    Have you looked for computer ATI card settings that might be more compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1?
    When is the program crashing - just opening a new project or rather crashing if editing a particular video format at the Timeline level?

    i have a limited budget so between 5s 16b and 5c 32b what is better? My use is largely for photos, videos and songs. I do not store any movies on the phone.

    The A7 chip is more powerful then the A6. It is also has a 64 bit processor in it. Big advantages not really is slightly faster when you do the same things on both the 5S and 5C.
    For the needs you stated and since you said you are on a budget, I suggested the 5C.

    # Question
    I am informed by FF that there are updates. When I click on them the window just says it's trying to connect to the server and never does. I am never able to update and I believe FF is now up to 3.6.17.
    I have a Mac Powerbook with 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.13.

    That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
