How Do I Sort Events by Event File Name?

Hi All,
Searched the forums extensively and can't seem to find anything on point. I'm trying to sort my events in iMovie appropriately and it's a challenge. Some of my events are recent, imported digital videos. Others are old VHS videos from the 80s and 90s converted through video capture devices. Others are simple videos filmed through my point and shoot camera. Bottom line, they only have a digital tag based on two things: the date they were imported into iMovie (analog stuff brought in through video capture) or actual digital tags from a digital video recorder.
So they only way to really get these events sorted correctly is to name them in a conventional "year-month-day" naming convention and sort, just like other files.
My problem is that I can't get iMovie to sort this way even after I successfully rename EVERY event (and there's like 150 events at this point).
Any ideas? It seems simple. How do I sort events WITHIN the iMovie application by event name?
Thanks,
-Ben (San Antonio)

Did the trick! I'd love it if there were a bit more of an assembly line capability to this, as I needed to change the creation date for 154 clips, which involved attaching, adjusting, removing, attaching, adjusting, removing...
Lot's of mouse work is all.
BUT it did the trick!
Thanks,

To test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based

Hi Sir/Madam,
to test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based on the selection made in the dtp run for extracting data as flat file.

Hi Vishali,
In the DTP select the file location as application server and give the logical file path. The actual file and logical path can be created using transaction "FILE" and "AL11".
Rest of the process is same as that of extraction from local file.

PhE11: No possibility to sort my pictures by file name ! Why not ?? (Like in PhE 9) Tha

There is in PHE 11 Editorno longer a possibility to sort my pictures by file name ! Why not ?? (Like in PhE 9) That creates a big problem working with my thousands of files !

dear Brett N
I am a new macbook user forced to give up Digital Image Pro (winXP), and looking for a photo program that sorts BY NAME. REPEAT BY NAME.
I was ready to purchase PSE11, but luckily I read this forum and saw that in your infinite wisdom you spared every expense and removed this function.
I have no need for face recognition, type of photo, etc.
Should I abandon 15 years of files all sorted by where they were taken?
I think not. For you to do this to previous owners shows a blatant disregard for them.
I will look elsewhere and not to a Photoshop product.
Should you provide an update that corrects this I would consider installing it on my 2 new Apple machines. Hurry though......

Hi frnds,

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In Receiver File Adapter you can set under 'Adapter-Specific Message Properties'
check Use Adapter-Specific Message Properties
check Fail on Missing Adapter Message Properties
Check File Name

How can i sort contacts according to company name on my iPhone

how can i sort contacts according to company name on my iPhone

That is not a sorting option in the built in app. There are other apps in the App Store that can access your contact information. Perhaps there is one that will let you do that.

How do I view imported pictures in file name order?

I have an extensive picture library on my NAS which I would like to see on my iPad and/or AppleTV. I have made folders available for viewing and I've also imported some actual JPEG files to the iPad using iTunes. Try as I might, I cannot get these files to display in file name order (they are all named by date and time). Is there a way?

Not using the built in photos app. You'll need to search for a third party app. I'm afraid I don't have any to recommend because I've never looked for any, but the default for the built in app is to sort by date/event.

How to not append '.PART' to the file name of the currently downloading file, and just download the file with its normal filename

In Windows, when Firefox (I'm currently using 7.0) downloads a file, it appends ''.PART'' to the file name of the currently downloading file and just renames it to its original file name after it finishes downloading.
I sometimes like to watch a currently downloading video file, so it will be better if Firefox just downloads the file to its actual filename (like what Opera does), so I can easily double click the incompletely downloaded file and watch it with the video player assigned to that file extension, rather than the awkward ''Right click -> Open With -> Choose Default Program'' route with .part files.
Does anyone know how to set Firefox to do this?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox and prevents Firefox from renaming the .part file.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

How to create Dynamic Selection List containg file names of a directory?

Hi,
I need a Selection List with a Dynamic List of Values containing all file names of a particular directory (can change through the time).
Basically, I need an Iterator over all file names in a directory, which could be used for Selection List in a JSF form.
This iterator has nothing to do with a database, but should get the names directly from the file system (java.io.File).
Can anybody tell me how to create such an iterator/selection list?
I am working with JDeveloper 10.1.3.2, JSF and Business Services.
Thank you,
Igor

Create a class like this:
package list;
import java.io.File;
public class fileList {
    public fileList() {
    public String[] listFiles(){
    File dir = new File("c:/temp");
    String[] files = dir.list();
    for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(files);
return files;
Right click to create a data control from it.
Then you can drag the return value of the listFiles method to a page and drop as a table for example.
Also note that the Content Repository data control in 10.1.3.2 has the file system as a possible data source.

How to do coding to change the file name while loading

Hi All,
Recently we have upgraded to BI 7.0. I am currently loading flat file from Application server. Flat file name will change after a period of month ex. from 17 dec to 16 jan one file name and 17 jan to 16 feb another name.
I have a table /bic/pzscenario where i have start date and end date and another field(zscenario) which stores name of the file.
Directory created is /interface/gsf/ so file name should be /interface/gsf/"value of zscenario based on system date which falls between startdate and end date".csv.
can anyone tell me how to do coding for this in infopackage?
Thanks this is very urgent. I tried using select statement
select single /bic/zscenario from /bic/pzscenario into tab_zsce
where zstartdate LE sy-datum or
zenddate LT sy-datum.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
concatenate "/interface/" "gsf/" "tab_zsce-/bic/zscenario" into p_filename.
endif.
this coding throws me error saying unexpected endif...
pls correct my coding. If the coding is wrong pls let me know how to code.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhuvana.

Hi Bhuvana,
Your code returns more than one "zscenario" value, this might be the reason for error.
It shud be like
sy-datum GE zstartdate and sy-datum LE zenddate

How to replace the end of a file name

I have a seriously dumb question...
I have a row of thousands of file names (top-down, row a), these names are, for example, "photo-1.jpg" and I need to change the .jpg to .nef. How can I accomplish this?
thanks!!

Or just use this 'Find Replace in Selection' Automator Service (Dropbox download) without having to fuss about taking columns out to another app, fiddling with them there, and bring them back in.
It is just a short AppleScript that, after a quick installation, will look like this in your menu:
Select the cells where you want to make the replacement, choose 'Find Replace in Selection' from the menu, and enter the find-replace values when prompted. In your case you will see something like this:
Hit OK and you're done.
One-time installation is just a doubleclick on the .workflow package.
Depending on your settings you may have to go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy and click 'Open Anyway'.
'Install' simply moves the script to your Library > Services folder so it will show up in your Numbers menu. It doesn't do anything to the innards of your computer. If you want, you can check out the script first by choosing 'Open with Automator'.
Since this (obviously) changes values in your document you might want to test it first to make sure it is working as you want.
If you need to get rid of it then in Finder hold down the option key, choose Go in the menu and navigate to Library > Services, where you can trash it the way you would any other file or package in Finder.
SG
Edit: use jpg and nef rather than .jpg and .nef.

Sorting string like windows file name sorting

Hi everybody, I have a simple question.
I was trying to sort some file name in java
Let say we have a list of string which are :
1.txt
a.txt
2.txt
11.txt
a(1).txt
a(11).txt
a(2).txt
If i convert those strings as file names, and sort it by file name in the windows explorer the result is
1.txt
2.txt
11.txt
a(1).txt
a(2).txt
a(11).txt
a.txt
But if i enter those strings into an Arraylist and use Arrays.sort or Collections.sort, the result is
1.txt
11.txt
2.txt
a(1).txt
a(11).txt
a(2).txt
a.txt
Is there a way to achieve the string sort similar to windows rather than aplhabetically like the default sort of Arrays/Collection.
I have done some searching but only found problem regarding to different language character sorting which can be achieved using Collator but this was not my case. Has anybody encounter this issue ?
Any help is greatly appreciated
regards
Hendra Effendi

            if(tokensA.equalsIgnoreCase(tokensB[i]))
continue;

return Integer.valueOf(tokensA[i])-Integer.valueOf(tokensB[i]);
else
return tokensA[i].compareTo(tokensB[i]);
return tokensA.length - tokensB.length;
private String[] tokenize(String s) {
List<String> tokens = new ArrayList<String>();
Matcher m = Pattern.compile("\\d+|\\D+").matcher(s);
while(m.find()) {
tokens.add(m.group());
return tokens.toArray(new String[]{});
private String withoutExtension(String s) {
int lastDot = s.lastIndexOf('.');
return lastDot < 0 ? s : s.substring(0, lastDot);

How do I reconnect media after changing file name?

The original file name is 1001.WAV I changed it to Take1 . How do I relocate the files? I use Pluraleyes to sync all my files.
Cheers, Greg

Change it back. NEVER change file names in the Finder level if the media is in an FCP project. Change it BEFORE you import it into FCP...or change the name IN FCP. What you did was bad bad wrong wrong. Expecially since you already did things like sync it up with pluraleyes.
Change it back. Then change the name in FCP.
