Rename "Connections" folder?

I've always liked to visually separate my folders into two
categories: Assets and Pages. My asset folders (_images, _include,
_css, etc) are of course messed up because Dreamweaver forces my
'Connections' folder to what it is 'Connections'. This is something
that has bothered me since Ultradev 4, I'm just now finally fed up
after we finally upgraded to CS3 this week. I kept trying to
convince myself that we could rename that folder in the "next
version". Since I've worn myself out trying to find the option,
does anybody know if it might be possible?
Thanks,
Matt

Simple answer: no.
You're trying to do what many others attempt to do with the
Templates
folder. If you change the name, you break all the internal
workings of
Dreamweaver related with that folder.
If you want to rely on Dreamweaver to look after file
relationships,
you'll need to comply with Dreamweaver conventions.

30EA1 - SQL-Developer 3.0.02 Connection Folder Bug

hi,
there are several treads concerning the poor "connection folder" (no sub-folders, folder-structure not in connection export,...) functionality...
Today i found an new annoying "feature". If you rename a connection within a folder and restart SQL Developer, you will find the connection outside at the bottom of the folders. If you rename all connections within a folder, the folder disappears after restart.
Its essential to reimplement the connection pane. The storage of the folder-structure outside "connections.xml" in "product-preferences.xml" will always be unmanageable!

I will add reference to this post in the bug.

Can't rename a folder in Windows 7 - receive error message

When trying to rename a folder in Windows 7, I get a "Folder In Use" message saying that the folder or a file in it is open in another program. This is untrue as I don't have any other programs open. I even rebooted the computer and tried again
and it gave me the same message. This has occurred more than once and it's beginning to drive me crazy. Do you have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

Hi,
Please use the
Process Explorer to check which process keeps your file in use.
In addition, you can try to rename the folder in
Safe Mode to see the result.

Can't see anything in external drive after renaming a folder

Hi all,
I can't see anything on my external drive after renaming a folder. I have the drive set up as a Windows drive with access through the volumes folder (I had to transfer large amount of files from a PC and have it be readable on my MacBook Air); I read a FAQ to set it up a few months ago and it has been working fine since then. I saw the same issue come up with a PC HD on a PC, but the solution was for a PC. I don't see anything else like that in the support community (or if it's there, then I'm not searching for it the right way). There is no partition on the drive and it still shows as having the same amount of data written on the drive as before the accident.
Many thanks in advance!

If you upgrade the your router, it would be the firmware that will be upgraded. For more information regarding upgrading the firmware, try this link.
For your external drive, you might need to map the drive again with a different name.
Hope this helps.

I Renamed Home Folder and lost all settings, jpgs, mp3s, photos etc. HELP!

First off, have a MacBook, 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo w/4GBs of RAM OS 10.5.8
I followed what I thought were proper procedures to change the name of the Home Folder from "macbook" to "rocki"
I followed the instructions at Mac OS X v10.6 and earlier: How to change user account name or home directory name
For Mac OS X 10.5 or later
1. Enable the root user.
2. Log in as root.
3. Navigate to the /Users folder.
4. Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
At this point I skipped steps 5 & 6 Since I already had a user named the name I wanted "Rocki" I thought I didn't need to do this. So went onto Steps 7-9, and NO everything was NOT there.
5. Use the Accounts pane in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
6. Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
7. Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
8. Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
9. After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Accounts pane of System Preferences. At this point I skipped step 10 b/c nothing was there as usual.
10. Disable the root user.
All my data and settings were not there. So I went back logged in as Root, navigated to the Users folder, and saw that there were two folders, one said "macbook" even though I previously just named it and there was also another folder named "rocki" there. Seeing two folders and wanting to return back to normal I deleted that "rocki" folder, I had just created, and logged back out of root and logged back into the only user I had, which was also named "rocki" which is the admin and the user that had all my files and settings originally before I tried to change the name of the home folder. And no change, everything is gone and missing.
To clarify, originally, I had a home folder named MacBook and a user named Rocki. Everything was cool and worked great! But I wanted to change that home folder name to match the user name. Whoops!
What can I do to go back to normal?!?!?!!?!? Please help me!! I'm so screwed. If I can't go back to normal, how do I find all the missing files and what not?!?
Thanks so much in advance!

Why can't I see image thumbnails of my .psdx files in my Creative Cloud Connection folder?

I am saving my projects to my Creative Cloud account and use the CC Connection. My .psdx files appear in my CC Connection folder as icons, not as image thumbnails. What am I doing wrong?

Btw, which OS are you using?
PSDX files might not be supported by the OS for a preview if that's what you mean about preview.
E.g. I cannot see the previews of PSD files either on a Windows desktop.
thanks,
Ignacio

[SOLVED] Renaming Desktop folder in XFCE, where to change the path?

I'd like to rename the folder Desktop to Czech equivalent Plocha, but of course when I do it, it prevents xfcedesktop from loading it's content to actual desktop (so I have empty desktop than, or only with Trash bin). I'd say I have to change the path from /home/behemot/Desktop to /home/behemot/Plocha somewhere. The question is, where should I do it? :-)
Last edited by Behemot (2011-06-28 18:04:10)

Generate the file with the command:
xdg-user-dirs-update
And change the paths manually. Mine file is adapted to spanish names:
# This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update
# If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
# interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run
# Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path. No other format is supported.
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Descargas"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Plantillas"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Público"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documentos"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Música"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Imágenes"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Vídeos"
Ok.

Where to locate Connections folder?

Hi,
I've noticed that DW places the Connection folder in the site
root which
seems to me to be a very bad place for security reasons. So
my question
is, where is best place to put the Connection folder for a
site, and how
do you do that from within DW when all site files are within
the site
folder? Also, if you move the Connections folder somewhere
above the
www folder, how will DW handle the path?
TIA

Hi Brett,
I agree that there are nasty hackers out there looking for
ways in to
get sensitive data, but there are also millions of potential
websites
for them to hack, and they normally pick ones where they have
something
to gain. If your site has data that is critically sensitive,
then you
need to be getting a security expert to certify your code,
and if that
was the case, I wouldn't think Dreamweaver would be the tool
of choice
to create the code.
Macromedia responded to sql injection security alerts when
they were
identified, there was a major change in all the recordset
code and
behaviours, and this was in 8.02, so they took if very
seriously, if
there was a serious flaw in the way connection folders are
used, don't
you think that would have been addressed by now?
One thing I always forget to do is remove the scripts folder
from my
live site after making tweaks to pages, as that folder is one
that
contains code that will leave your site open to abuse. It
under the site
menu, then advanced, and is called remove connection scripts.
This isn't
the connections folder, its the _mmServerScripts folder, its
copied to
the server each time you open a recordset, so you need to
remove it once
your done.
The advice from Adobe is to not copy them onto a live site,
but its easy
to forget that the folder is there after you have made a
quick change
that involves a recordset or server behaviour. Here is some
more

Moved the "Connections" folder, now Dreamweaver CS3 can't find MySQL connection...

Hi,
Dreamweaver creates a "Connections" folder in the site root
where all database connection files are stored. I want to move this
folder to another path but then DW can't find the connection (for
example in admin/includes/Connections).
How can I tell DW the new path of the "Connections" folder so
I can still use DW extensions to find all available database
connections?
Thanks!
Regards,
Checo

Update reports after renaming name folder

Hi,
Is there a way in the catalog manager to correct all reports, filters, prompts etc.. to point to a rename folder?
I had all my reports under the folder "Standard" which I had to rename to something else.
Now of course all the reports are not working and the only way I know to adjust this is to go in each individual xml
and update the path from Standard to Standard_new.
Since I have tons of reports that I would need to adjust, is there a way to do it faster?
Regards
G.

Was there the option to "preserve references to original name" when you renamed the folder? That should have prevented any problems.

Dreamweaver Connections Folder Help Needed

I am working on Mac OS 10.4, Dreamweaver 8, PHP 4.1+ and
MySQL. I can get my database connection to work if I have it
directly in the PHP code but if I try to do it using the
Dreamweaver interface - the connection doesn't work. My testing
server and remote server all test ok on the connections. I believe
the problem is where the Connections folder is located but it
appears Dreamweaver only accepts it at the top level and the way my
hosting company configures their domains, it doesn't see the
connections folder and it doesn't work. I need to get it to work as
I want to use the Dreamweaver interface. I've searched every help
forum and tried many suggestions with no luck - anybody run into
the same problem?
Thanks!

Thank you for writing. I do need your help, and here's the
scenario. I work for a company that deals with business credit. In
the previous post at
http://www.businesscreditbuilder.com
there is a login. Once logged in, there is a home page for the
members. That first page I need to change as soon as possible for
over 40,000 members. All the members will see the same home page
inside the members area. You're welcome to login as "makaiman",
password is "1143mak" to see the first page that comes inside the
members area I need to change just a little. PHP is installed on a
remote server running on Windows. I need help or guidance on this
immediately but I have to sleep right now as it is 1130pm pacific
and need to have this done by sometime tomorrow morning. I
appreciate all of your help so very much... any advice would be so
much appreciated...

Rename a folder

I want to rename a folder on server. How can I do this?

Use File class to rename a folder

I have an error when creating new folders, it renames the folder below it to the same name (super - next folder - parent's next sibling...)

if I try to add a new folder to a sub folder, the program does add the new bookmark folder, but it also renames the next folder in line in the parent of the original "subfolder" to the exact same name...
maybe I just need to reload the mozilla, maybe I was hacked and that is what they changed...
I also have a similar problem with microsoft explorer, every time I try to add a new folder it gives it a starting wierd name besides "New Folder"
I have an error when creating new folders, it renames the folder below it to the same name (super - next folder - parent's next sibling...)

Mail gone after renaming a folder

Hi,
Had an issues this weekend with my mail.
I had the following mail folder structure: Main Mailbox -> Axaris (Mailfolder) -> Company name -> Brunen.
When I renamed the folder Brunen to Brünen all the mail in that folder dissapeared. It was just gone. When I browsed the hdd i was able to find the original folder back that was not renamed there. I could retrieve the mail from there, but it should not have happened. So more or less it's a bug.
I used the lastest OS X: 10.5.5.
Best regards.

What you've described makes no sense; renaming a folder to the same name it already had would certainly not cause the problem you describe. Was this folder in the Mail program, or on your hard drive? How many messages do you have in Mail, and what have you done so far, if anything, to resolve this issue?
