File name and place question.

How would you file the following. I have a series to edit, so for example you have "Show 1" and within this you have V.1, V.2 and V.3.All 3 versions share the same beginnings, but are then different from half way through. You also have 2 sources of HDV from different cameras.
Does this make sense? I have been opening a scratch folder for say "Show 1" and then within that folder opening 2 more folders named "Cam 1" and "Cam 2" and then sending the appropriate HDV footage to these folders.
Does the fact that these folders are "Scratch" folders have any technical significance over and above any other type of folder?

I would make a separate project for each show in the series. This will automatically create a separate folder inside capture scratch for each show. All the media for that show should go into that folder.
The problem occurs when you have media that's shared in multiple shows. There are different ways to do this, but it depends a great deal on the specifics of your series and how you work. There is no one way to do this.

  • Finding File Name And Using It To Place The Graphic Using VBscript

    I'm trying to find a file name (example, <place:E:\logo.tif>) in each text frame if it's there, then remove the text from the frame and then place the file in the frame. This is to get around the feature missing from InDesign that is in PageMaker that allowed you to import inline graphics using tagged text. Below is what I have come up with so far. The file name is currently hard coded in the example below.

    Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame still there. Is there a "apply change" or similiar command that I simply cannot see.

    brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame
    PSE did what you told it to do. Choose the Straighten and crop edges or fill edges options when you use the straighten tool if you want it to do more than just straighten the contents of the image. Many people prefer the plain straighten because they'd rather crop themselves than let PSE do it.

  • Question about pass file name and path to file write adapter

    I need to pass file name and path to file adapter for write. I got partial answers from thread Re: Get File name using File Adapter , but seems InboundHeader_msg or outboundHeader_msg only takes file name, how do I pass file directory?
    since I still have to specify file format (like xxx_%xx%.txt) in the file adapter wizard. Will this name conflict with what the name defined in InboundHeader_msg ?
    Similarly, how can I pass a file name and path to a file synchread adapter?

  • Printing FILE NAME and DATE PRINTED?

    when i was on a mac i used to be able to have a default in the printer dialog so that every page printed showed the file name and the data printed. i would like to do this in the mac but i am guessing that this has to be done in either the specialized software dialog box or perhaps in a mac dialog box?
    in any event, can anyone help me figure out where i might find a place to do this? i haveadobe acrobat but i wold also like to do it in something like Preview as well.
    TIA

    if i have documents coming that i print for a project and these are quite naturally coming from different software it i have no way now of being able to FIND this file in my computer when i am looking at it.
    Consider using Find from the File menu or Spotlight to search for the document. In one of your previous posts, you stated that you name documents with a date and name. Then perhaps search for the name. Also, with your method of naming documents, if the document is a letter, wouldn't the date on the letter and the person to whom the letter is addressed to give clues to the filename and thus finding it on your computer?
    this is a major organizational issue over here and customizing a template for all my various software should be unnecessary IMHO.
    I do not know how many documents you deal with but I do know that there a many organizations that deal with billions of documents. In addition, if you share documents with others or others with you, there is not a filenaming method that works for everyone. People adapt to each other. A date in a filename could have several forms such as month-date-year or year-month-date, two digits or four digits for year and so on and so forth.
    Are you saying it IS necessary to have this dual file type that has a Pages document which then prints a PDF?
    No. Please re-read  what I wrote and the Pages Help Center articles.
    also, is there in fact a way to save a PDF back out as a Pages document?
    Yes, re-read what I wrote (that which you quoted).
    "Acrobat has the capability to save a PDF in other formats such as Microsoft Word, which can be opened in Pages. That said IMO, a separate Pages document for each "custom" letter/report would not be necessary."
    alternatively i guess i could create a Pages TEMPLATE - that has a DATE in the header that automatically updates .../but/ i am realizing that this has the unfortunate consequence of having the DATE updated if i open the Pages document again
    But that is what you stated you wanted because
    ...and try to remember to SAVE AS this document with another name with the original FILE NAME but a NEW DATE. this does not always work and sometimes i write over the original accidentally.
    anyway, maybe the answer here is to create a Template for any new document type and simply use this template any time i need to create a PDF and then not save or delete the original Pages document but this seems a bit hairy and dangerous in terms of possibly losing a file if i forget to print to PDF or something.
    You have redundant backups, yes?
    It seems that your understanding of a template is different from what it actually is, its purpose and its use. If you have not already done so, try using one of the included Pages templates to create a document that you would reuse to get a better understanding of how it works and to help determine your workflow. What you wrote in the last post seems to be a lot of what ifs but not hands on experience with the software itself. My response was based on my experience of using many types of software and in particular to your questions, Pages and Acrobat. Perhaps you will find better responses in the Pages forum and for Acrobat there is a forum at the Adobe web site.
    is there a lock file functionality in Pages in Mountain Lion or was this in Lion?!
    Perhaps reviewing the tutorials for Pages or searching with Google would  help answer many of your questions.

  • Dynamic File Name and Directory File Sender Adapter

    Hello gurus,
    I have a question: Is there any way to make the File Name, and Directory Dynamic of a File Sender Communication Channel ?
    For example, taking it as a parameter from a Web Service Request.. (I mean, the only way with this would be a ccBPM). I don't exactly know if there is a way, I just thought about this.
    Please tell me if someone could make Dynamic these 2 parameters while picking a file.
    Regards,

    oops,thought i was replying to the PgP question:)
    I think you should be able to achieve this via adapter module but i m not really sure how exactly it will be done .

  • Save As with suggested file name and folder

    I would like the user to be able to press a save button on the pdf and the "Save As dialogue box" pops up pre-populated with a file name and location choosen. The user can then choose to name the file something otherwise or select a new location. I would just like to save them the steps of copying the field data and finding the correct folder (deeply buried on server) however to place the finished document in.
    This doesn't seem to require a trusted function, but how do I suggest the file name based on a field name in the document. And how do I suggest the folder the document should be saved into?
    Thanks in adavance.

  • How to strip a file name and add it to array

    Hello I am new to labview, and I need to know how to strip a file name and add it to an array. For example, filename joe.csv, then take "joe" and add it to an array with other inputs. A visual depiction will be very helpful

    What does your code attachment have to do with your question?
    What are "other inputs"?
    I assume you have an array of strings. You can strip the filename using get file extension. You can build an array using build array. Wire the existing array on one input ant the string as a second input.

  • How to find ATL file name and timestamp of importing for existing DI code?

    A tester is not sure about the version of the ATL code which was imported into his local repository. Is there anyway he can get the imported ATL file name and/or timestamp from the repository or a log file? I searched in both places but couldn't find any information. Did I miss something? This is DI 11.5.3.
    Thanks,
    Larry

    I don't think the information about the source of how the object was created in repo is maintained anywhere, like this version of object was created from ATL or from Designer etc
    but different versions of objects are stored in AL_LANG and its language in AL_LANGTEXT table, if you have not compacted the repo, you may get the last modified time from AL_ATTR table, try getting the data from these table and see if you get any info that is useful for you

  • Pdf portfolio source file name and date in file details

    Is it possible to import the source file name and extension as well as the source file created date in the portfolio file details?  Need to document source to portfolio in working with 3rd parties that will only have the original source.  Need to document what was converted into pdf as not all files in a directory will successfully convert to pdf.  Sometimes need to convert 100's of files.  Manual entry is inefficient.  the file names and modified dates are displayed on the Combine Files dialog.  is there a way to capture the detail on that page?

    I don't need the detail of when the pdf was added to the portfolio.  I
    need know which dwg or jpg or word file was converted and the original
    created date of that file for control of information.
    That is impossible; sorry. For some *very specific* types of conversion to PDF the pdfx:SourceModified XMP tag will be set to show the last-modification date of the source file (for example DOCX files converted using MS Word), but there will never be a human-readable record of the source filename or its creation date unless you have manually added them as document XMP properties after conversion (this is what the "Custom Properties" dialog is for). To embed source data automatically would raise no end of privacy and security problems for customers, who most certainly do NOT want their recipients seeing details of internal documents.
    Without writing a plugin there's no access to the internal workflow of the Combine Files dialog, so you cannot use a script to read the names and dates of the files *before* conversion and store them automatically in the new PDF Portfolio's Fields array.

  • I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

    can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

    Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
    Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems?  If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
    If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
    Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.
