Relink source file

I've imported a Photoshop file into Captivate 7. Captivate converted it to a PNG in the Library.
Then I edited the original Photoshop file.
There are a couple of commands I hadn't noticed in previous versions: "Edit PDF Source File" and "Update from Source"
When I choose Update from Source a message appears:
"Unable to update since the source file is mising. Relink the source file before you proceed."
The location of the source file has not been moved or renamed since it was imported into Captivate, so I don't know why I'm getting that message. I can't find an explanation anywhere as to how to "relink."
Is there an easy way to relink (or do I have to re-import the file, resize, reposition, etc)?

Jay, I'm always importing assets first to the Library, rarely direct to the stage. And when importing to the Library, when possible I'll take the original file: WAV for audio, PSD for Photoshop etc. If you import a PSD-file, you'll be able to choose for a flattened image (as was the case for the screenshot) or to import with all layers. In both cases the flattened image, or the layers will each be converted to a PNG-image, but you'll keep the 'link' with the source file, in the same way as you can have a link with a PPT. In previous versions roundtripping with the source file was only avalaible in the eLS, but now it is there if you have Photoshop CS6 or CC installed on your system. I have several PSD-files with many layers. One example: for localisation I'll have text layers in the PSD in different languages, and import those layers (flattened or not) that I need in a specific file. Same with colours, masks, layer styles... My first Adobe love was Photoshop, not Captivate You understand that I love that roundtripping with the source file.

How do I relink my video files when the source files are located in an AVCHD folder structure?

I am using FCP X 10.1.1 and I was completely done with editing a simple multicam video for a choir track and when I was exporting it it failed. I re-opened FCPX and found that there are several missing files, when I had just been working with them just a second ago! I know about relinking video files, but when I try to locate the source files (knowing where they are), the browser will not let me select ACHD file contents to get at the video files. Also, I cannot open the Library file for my project either.
Here is a snap shot:

If it comes down to it, use clip wrap to carve your .mov files out of the SD. I am confused tho - if you were originally able to import all you needed and still have the original media ? Why can't you do it again to add other clips? To "get in" to your Library, control click on it>show paskage... but do NOT MOVE anything only copy.
Perhaps soeone else can shed light on this?

How can i relink files to the timeline sequence when i've deleted the source file path? All the attribute are still in the timeline, I just can't relink

So i started an edit and had the whole thing finished and ready to export in Final Cut X, when i went to export I had a message pop up say that it couldn't export while FCP X is still referencing media. I went through trying to solve the problem and ended up deleting the source media folders in the Final Cut Events folder and reimporting the clips. This lead to a whole can of worms opening up and now i'm left with a whole edit with 90% of the clips in the timeline unable to relink to source media.
Can anyone help?

First find the files. Then File>Relink Event Files and point to the folder.

The 'Correct way' to move source files

So chalk me up as another person having issues with relinking files that have been moved in the finder. I don't understand how this can be such an issue but FCPX just won't relink them.
Anyway amongst all the threads of others having this issue there is no clear remedy if you have already done it but several people have commented ' you should have used FCPX to move the files. '
How do you do this ? Since thered is no file tree in FCPX how on earth do you use it to move the files ? The only structural tree there is is for the events and the way I have been working, my events are all saved on one drive but they don't contain the source files, only references to them. So dargging and dropping the events onto another drive wouldn't be the solution.
Any help much appreciated.....

OK, so then I don't know what you're trying to do.
When I import, I do not have the check box set to move the files to the project folder. Therefore the files reside on an external drive and in the 'originals' folder, FCPX just puts a reference (an alias ).
What I want to do, is move the location of those files on the external drive, call it drive A, which is now full, to drve B, a new drive.
That's the bit that seems like a really common necessity to me.
But doing this obviously breaks the references and trying to re-link them it tells me the framerates are wrong. Which is incorrect, because how could simply dragging a file from one drive to another change the framerate ?
That can happen. It depednds on how you moved the files and where you moved thme to. If you moved the refrerneced files at the finder level and are trying to relink them you try to do this at the finder level.
Yes I moved them at the finder level, what other ways are there to do it ? That's the exact question I'm asking, is there another way I should have done it.
How do you re-link at finder level ? Is that what you are suggesting ?
That's correct. That's common in most database driven applications.
That would be fine, but then why offer you the option to leave the files in their original location when importing ? That's where this all starts to go south because that's the one loophole to get out of their organizational methods. If they had forced me from the beginning to conform to their method entirely then I wouldn't be in this mess. It seems like they haven't condisered the ramifications of that option.

What the.. where the.. Can't reconnect media files??? Source file info gone

This is bizarre. Many files went offline and now it won't tell me what is offline to reconnect.
picture....
http://www.redmoonlight.com/Picture3.png
Out of this 90 minute video, there are two 5 minute sequences that went offline. (I'm color grading every 5 minutes of the whole project using Color.) At some point without realizing it, it went offline and now the auto save doesn't have the file old enough for me to recover. (In the auto save vault, I just changed my # of copies per project from 40 to 100!)
My files are still on the drive (they were never moved!) but the source names are lost in Final Cut's sequence. A couple of files within the sequence with the offline file are still online. I don't know how 95% of the sequence went offline while the other 5% didn't.
I'm able to look at my original sequence (before exporting to Color) to compare I'll have to import the file one by one and then sync it up. HUGE TIME CONSUMING!
How did the media source name from my clips vanish? (I still love FCP.....)

Thanks for the response.
I haven't moved any media files. Even if I did, I could easily reconnect the files.
The problem is the clips in the timeline and browser lost it's metadata on the name of it's source file. The clips has no idea what the original file's name was. In the picture, the list of offline files won't list. It has no idea what to look for.
I'm reconnecting them one by one. Here are the steps I have to take to get back on track:
1 - Go to last sequence (before send to Color seq.) and see what the clip looks like
2 - Find the media on the drive and get it's original name
3 - Go back to FCP and manually relink it.
This has happened before but only to a couple of clips which was quick to fix with this same method. I'm wondering how the clips lost it's info?

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger

I can no longer view source files in Firefox 6. This is very important for my job as an SEO consultant.

Under View I can no longer read the Source files for a webpage. As an SEO consultant this is vital for my work. Please can you restore this feature for FireFox 6.

You can also use these shortkeys:
* Web Console -> CTRL + SHIFT + K
* Scratchpad -> SHIFT + F4
* View Page Source -> CTRL + U
* Error Console -> CTRL + SHIFT + J
Check and tell if its working.

In trying to update I received this message: Firefox 3.6.3(2).dmg.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

In trying to download an update I first received: "There were problems checking for, downloading, or installing this update. Firefox could not be updated because: No data was received (please try again)" It also gave a link to download manually. When I tried from the Firefox website I got: /Users/(deleted for privacy)/Desktop/Firefox 3.6.3(2).dmg.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator. I tried this 3 times.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Mon around 11 am, central time, May 17, 2010

I have tried downloading the file several times and get the same message: "No data received." I have no other system problems, I navigate well to other sites, but I'm unable to download this upgrade. Any suggestions?

Windows Easy Transfer (WET) Issues with External Hard Drive - "Can't read from the source file or disk"

I work for Office Depot, in the tech department. Basically, one of our associates was supposed to do a data backup, and re-install Windows 7, then transfer the files back. He used Windows Easy Transfer and compacted everything into a 163 GB file.
Now comes the hard part. When we try to put it back on his computer ((drag-and-drop to the desktop) which has been wiped back to factory settings using the recovery partition), it stops at 79.5 GB remaining (you know how it doesn't give you a % of completion,
it just shows how many GB are remaining) and then says "Can't read from the source file or disk" and gives you an option to try again, or cancel. It gets hung up on the same point each time.
Normally, this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the contents on the drive are his wife's architect blueprints and interior design stuff, along with wedding photos, etc, which are the only copies they have. On top of those, they have court documents and other
important files that we are unable to access now.
I wasn't involved with this transfer, so I'm trying to clean up the mess as best I can. I remembered that the customer's wife was Russian, and had some files typed with a Russian keyboard, so on and so forth. I wonder if that's the issue? If not, I really
have no idea how to manually extract things from a ".mig" file, or how to diagnose what area is potentially corrupted.
In light of this situation, we tried using "Recuva" to recover the files post-wipe, but everything was corrupted or unable to be opened, and it also extracted and recovered all of the "useless" photos, such as the skype logos, up and
down arrows for browsers, etc (it was 160,000+ photos).
Trying to avoid a potential lawsuit, unhappy customer, and costing the company lots of money to see if professionals can get into this external hard drive.
Other relevant information:
We used a Toshiba 500 GB (465 GB) external hard drive.
Customer's computer is an HP Pavilion P6000 Series (Model No. p6520y) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.
Any other information that is needed can be provided, thanks in advance, and hopefully we can find a solution to this issue quickly!

I think there's a lack of understanding somewhere.
"If you even can't start the process, please unplug it from your new PC. Then head back to your new computer and plug
the external drive back in to your new computer. "
Unplug from new, head back to new, plug it back in? That doesn't make much sense! Haha.
I knew what you meant though, somewhat. When I search through the drives after clicking yes (Has windows easy transfer
already saved your files blah blah blah) I click on the transfer file and it says "Windows Easy Transfer could not open the file".
Rather than drag-and-drop the file to the desktop, I now tried to double-click on the file itself while it was plugged
into the computer. It opened, and it started transferring until it was about 70% completed, and then an error popped up saying "WET can't open the easy transfer file, make sure your USB device is plugged in or check your internet connection".
I checked, and the USB hard drive's light wasn't on. Now, I unplug it and plug it back in, and the light comes back on,
so I click Retry, and it resets the bar back to nothing and says "Transfer time: 1 minute".
Rather than continue trying, I clicked "Cancel" instead of Retry, and it says "Your transfer did not complete successfully."
It says to click "view report" for more information, but there's no "view report button".
At the moment, I am scanning the External Drive for bad sectors using the check disk tool in properties. It's frozen
at "0 USN bytes processed".

Advance select for source file in Sender File Adapter

My problem is that this parameter that is listed on the SAP help is not getting in File accessing Parameters.
I am running PI 7.02 (NW702_07_Rel)

Has anyone come across this before?
any suggestions on how to do this?

Hi,
In PI7.0 the property exists. I have used it previously. I think SP was 13.

This is not possible. You need different adapters, but you can use the same interface and namespace, so there should be no issue.

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.

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

Importing to LR and Moving Source Files?

Is it "bad" to import to LR and then move the source files? AKA I want to import to LR from files stored locally on my machine and then move that local folder at a later time to an external drive. Will this cause problems and or is there something specific to do so it won't (cause problems?)
Thanks.

Why don't you just import to that external drive and eliminate a step? Seems to me that eliminating the step of moving the photos at a later time makes your work simpler.
