2 different files in the same location?

When we upload files they go all in one folder.
The first editor calls his graphic "Picture 1.png" (wonder where that came from..)
Sure sometimes before the item gets deleted another one will upload an completly different picture with the same filename.
The thing that it different between the 2 would be the Asset ID. So I was wondering if there is a way to make folders with asset IDs in the location where everybody uploads there stuff to.
To tidy up on the long run I guess we just would need to delete the empty folders (as the content has been archived).
How would I do this? How do other people deal with the same filenames for different files? It even happens within the same production so the solution to create an subfolder for each production (read this a while ago) does not work for us.
I know that for future projects we will tell people to use more describing filenames (but even there: there might be two different kitchens called the same..) but I also talk about a huge, messy archive to migrate..
thanks

Let me rephrase things a bit as I used the term Excel chart to literally. We create charts in SSRS. We then use a query string that includes "rs:command=render&rs:format=Excel" to get the chart into Excel. The "chart" in Excel is really just an
image and the associated data table is the cells filled in with the data. We then "select" the area that encompasses all of these objects and paste that into the PowerPoint slide.
Our source folder structure is as follows (note that I while I am being generic, the Ecel file names are the same between folders:
Folder A: File1.xls, File2.xls, File3.xls ..... File40.xls
Folder B: File1.xls, File2.xls, File3.xls .....File40.xls
This goes on for 8 folders but can be as many as 30
The routine we use to create the xls file from the SSRS chart names the xls file and puts it in the correct folder.
The idea was we would create a template chart set in PPT for folder A and then create copies of the PPT and change the links to point to Folder B, etc.
We have ensured that all Excel Documents are closed when we try to do an update.
We are also getting the following error and I'm paraphrasing: Cannot open multiple instances of a file of the same name even if it is in a different location. This occurs when doing an update links when we don't get the initial error message I listed first.
If we change the names of the files in each folder: i.e. FolderAFile1.xls, FolderAFile2.xls, etc then we can do the update links. This is time consuming as the SSRS exports are done by the end users and we are the developers trying to create a reusable solution.
One other issue we are seeing which I hope you can address is that when we are getting the update links to work, the process opens up each Excel file THREE times. It takes almost 15 minutes to update a PPT with 18 linked xls files.

Can two users work on different files of the same project?

Sorry if this has been asked already...but can two users work
on different files of the same project? How would that work? Would
it work something like this?
1. From RoboHelp 7, user A checks out the entire project.
2. User A checks in the files they are not working with.
3. User B checks out the project but can only 'edit' the
files that have been checked in by user A.
Is this how the source control works?

That's the basic idea. User A doesn't actually have to check
out the whole project, though. RSC will selectively check out only
the files that are actually getting changed. Both writers will have
a complete copy of the project on their local machines, but the
files are read-only until they are literally checked out, which is
on an as-needed basis unless the writer explicitly checks them out.

How to create links to different files on the same page?

Good day to all again,
can someone please guide me through creating several links to different files on the same page. In other words, I am creating a photo page where my links are called Gallery 1, Gallery 2, etc... I would like to create links so when the User clicks on Gallery 1, they see Gallery 1 slide show in the frame; when the user then clicks Gallery 2, then they see Gallery 2 slide show in the window.
My slide show files are done and I am using GoLive CS2. I have no knowledge of JavaScript or ActionScript/Flash.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Diana,
I'm a professional photographer and in the process of getting
my finished site published. I used Coffeecup Photo Gallery. You can
create multiple albums on the same page. Do a Google search for the
address. It's easy, inexpensive, and it works. I tried to do this
with the Photo Gallery in DW and FireWorks--but couldn't get it
right. CC uses Flash and Javascript.
Good Luck

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location?

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location? If I use add file / folder to library, it scans the folder and then makes a copy of any file that is not in my library in the exact same location; I recal in older versions of iTunes being able to just drag my media folder into my library and it would update missing links.

Only the songs that are connected to iTunes will be copied when you consolidate to a new folder.
Splitting the media folder away from the usual location makes it harder to move iTunes in the future.
Are you go move everything back once you've tidied up or are you going to leave it that way? Either way I'd recommend you create an iTunes folder at the new location, an iTunes Media folder inside that, and consolidate to this new iTunes Media folder. You should also use the option File > LIbrary > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder"> if you have not already done so.

Can I combine two methods of code to load various SWF files into the same location

I presently have a set up where a large SWF file brought on the stage by clicking small icons from the scrollable thumbnail menu on the bottom of the stage. All of it happens at the same frame with .xml loading file.
Here is the code for constructing the ImageLoader(for thumbnails) and SWFLoader for (bigger SWF files)
[CODE]
   function _xmlCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   _slides = [];
   var xml:XML = event.target.content; //the XMLLoader's "content" is the XML that was loaded.
   var imageList:XMLList = xml.image; //In the XML, we have <image /> nodes with all the info we need.
   //loop through each <image /> node and create a Slide object for each.
   for each (var image:XML in imageList) {
    _slides.push( new Slide(image.@name,
          image.@description,
          new ImageLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/thumbnails/appThmb_imgs/" + image.@name + ".jpg",
               name:image.@name + "Thumb",
               width:_THUMB_WIDTH,
               height:_THUMB_HEIGHT,
               //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates
               //x:260, y:320,//doesn't work here but works in line 69
               scaleMode:"proportionalInside",
               bgColor:0x000000,
               estimatedBytes:13000,
               onFail:_imageFailHandler}),
          new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",
                name:image.@name + "Image",
                width:_IMAGE_WIDTH,
                height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT,
                //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates
                x:0, y:144,
                scaleMode:"proportionalInside",
                bgColor:0x000000,
                estimatedBytes:820000,
                onFail:_imageFailHandler})
[/CODE]
Here is what I would like to resolve. I have another section on the site with an image collage. Every image is a button. I want to script this each image on click to go to the label with ImageLoader and SWFLoader AND TO OPEN A UNIQUE SWF (ASSOCIATED WITH AN IMAGE CLICKED) ON THAT PAGE
Previously this is what I did to achieve it. I would specify a String:
[CODE]
var sourceVar_ProductsPopUps:String;
[/CODE]
and then all my buttons will have their unique SWF assigned for them which opens at another labeled section ("prdctsPopUps" in this example):
[CODE]
function onClickSumix1PopUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
sourceVar_ProductsPopUps="prdcts_popups/sumix1-popup_tl.swf";
gotoAndPlay("prdctsPopUps");
[/CODE]
Then in the "prdctsPopUps" section I would specify that var string to bring up SWF files. The value of sourceVar_ProductsPopUps allows to load mulitple SWFs from the previous page.
[CODE]
loaderProductPopUps = new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
[/CODE]
But I need both of them to be working at the same time. First there is a sectionA from where a user can navigate to specifically targeted SWF to section B's SWFLoader. Then in the section B a user has an option to bring up other SWF files into SWFLoader from the scrollable thumbs menu. Is there a way to combine these two lines into one:
[CODE]
          new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",
[/CODE]
and
[CODE]
new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
[/CODE]

Thanks for looking into my issue.
Unfortunatelly I am not so advanced in AS and do not complitely understand the logic of the problem. I will try to decribe my set up more precise.
So, my main flash file is broken into labeled sections on the main time line.
One of the sections is "Applications" It has an animated collage of images. Each image acts as a button and once clicked brings a user to a section called "ApplicationsPopUps".
"ApplicationsPopUps" section has small image thumbnails scroll menu at the bottom of the screen and a large SWFLoader in the middle of the screen. User can click on an image in the thumbnails scroll menu and a corresponding SWF file will load in the middle of the screen in SWFLoader. User can click on left/right navigation buttons and preceeding/following SWF file will load in SWFLoader.
Everything works fine (with your previous help)
Here is the working code for the ImageLoader and SWFLoader (please let me know if you need additional code on the page):
function _xmlCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {        _slides = [];       var xml:XML = event.target.content; //the XMLLoader's "content" is the XML that was loaded.        var imageList:XMLList = xml.image; //In the XML, we have nodes with all the info we need.        //loop through each node and create a Slide object for each.       for each (var image:XML in imageList) {         _slides.push( new Slide(image.@name,               image.@description,               new ImageLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/thumbnails/appThmb_imgs/" + image.@name + ".jpg",               {                    name:image.@name + "Thumb",                    width:_THUMB_WIDTH,                    height:_THUMB_HEIGHT,                    //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                    //x:260, y:320,//doesn't work here but works in line 69                   scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                    bgColor:0x000000,                    estimatedBytes:13000,                    onFail:_imageFailHandler}),                 new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",                   {                     name:image.@name + "Image",                     width:_IMAGE_WIDTH,                     height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT,                     //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                   x:0, y:144,                     scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                     bgColor:0x000000,                     estimatedBytes:820000,                     onFail:_imageFailHandler})
Thumbnails in the section "ApplicationsPopUps" and images in the image collage in the section "Applications" represent the same photographs. So when a user clicks on one of the images in "Applications" section it would be natural that that image will load in the "ApplicationsPopUps" section. However "ApplicationsPopUps" section presently has a working code (as sampled above) It looks too complex for me and I do not know hot to implement this feature. I do want to keep the functionality of the thumbs image scroller in section "ApplicationsPopUps" as it is now. But I want to add that when a user click on an image from section"Applications" then that particular SWF file will load in SWFLoader in section "ApplicationsPopUps" and then the present functionality can as well be exectuted. Presently it just opens on a first image in xml order.
P.S. I see that you had a download link in your answer. How did you do it? I could also upload a small sample file with my problem. This way you could see all the set up right away.

Saving a file in the same location as run .jar

I have been playing around with an auto updating client for a project I am working on.
I have been able to get the client to update fine and save a copy of the new client into where ever the original was run from using the below code:
File file;
CodeSource src = HemClientMain.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource();
if (src != null)
     try
          URL url = new URL(src.getLocation(), "UpdatedClient.jar");
          System.out.println("Writing to: " + url.getPath());
          file = new File(url.getPath());
          if (!file.exists())
               file.createNewFile();
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
          BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);However when I tried running this on my laptop I get a file not found error:
Writing to: /C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Rob/Desktop/UpdatedClient.jar
java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified
        at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)
        at java.io.File.createNewFile(File.java:883)
        at Client.ClientGameThread.saveNewClient(ClientGameThread.java:584)
        at Client.ClientGameThread.gameClientFinishedUpdating(ClientGameThread.java:564)
        at Client.ClientListenThread.dealWithPacket(ClientListenThread.java:96)
        at Client.ClientListenThread.listen(ClientListenThread.java:74)
        at Client.ClientListenThread.run(ClientListenThread.java:38)It's clearly something to do with the location and the path not being correct, as if I move the client to say .. c:/ and run it it updates and saves fine.
Is it something to do with the spaces in between document and settings? And if so how do I stop this from happening? Is there another way I can accurately find the path to the current jar file and save a copy there?
I used to do it via this code:
String fileLocation = System.getProperty("java.class.path");     However I now have more than one thing in my classpath and this doesn't produce one path but a combination of them all ... which is not really what I want. There must be a nice way to do this!
Any help / suggestions appreciated. Any further questions I will attempt to answer my best :)

Opening different files within the same loop

Hi folks,
I am currently trying to automate a testing procedure using LabVIEW
that requires the user to select the test from a drop down menu (Ring)
and then clicks a button to start the test. When the button is pressed
an 'open file' window appears asking for a name to save the file as.
This all works fine the first time it is run, but i need to be able to
stop the current test, select a new one, and then choose a different
filename to save it as, without having to restart the program.
I am currently using a timed loop (as the test is time specific) and
case statements for each individual test routine. I can only think of 2
ways to implement this, the first works only once (asking for a
fliename when the program is first run), the second repeatedly asks for
the filename each time the loop frame executes.
So the process is: select test - click button - chose filename - stop
test - select new test - click button - choose new filename -
etc.......
Thanks in advance,
Darren.

There can be many ways to do this
One way would be, to keep the file read operation inside a seperate case stucture ( inside the while loop itself)
and use a boolean switch ( mechanical action>> Latch) and read a new file at each click of this button
look at attached VI, probably you can build on its logic

InDesign 2014 files don't save in the same location as the original file

The behavior in InDesign CC was to automatically save the file in the same location. I understand this is a new version, and saving my InDesign 2014 files should open a save dialogue. But I don't understand why InDesign seems unaware of the file's location. In this new version I have to navigate to the files location to overwrite, and that is taking extra time that the previous version did not require. Is there a way to restore the previous behavior. I have looked in Preferences, but I can't find a way to revert to the old behavior. Any advice would be appreciated. -Thanks.

As Peter noted, it has ALWAYS been this way. It’s a one time thing.

Downloading several files to the same client directory

Hello Everybody !
My RAP application generates three files : a binary one for microcontrollers programming purpose, a plain text one which is a readable form of the first one, and finally a properties file used to restore the application settings. All three files have to be stored in the same directory on the client machine and this is done by using a service handler as described here : https://www.eclipse.org/rap/developers-guide/devguide.php?topic=resources.html&version=3.0
This mechanism works fine, but pops up three Save File dialogs while one would be sufficient since I could get the destination directory from the first download. Is it possible to save more than one file to the same location with only one Save File dialog? How would you implement this?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Try using:
tell application "Finder"
set path_2 to quoted form of POSIX path of (folder of (path to me) as alias)
end tell
tell application "System Events"
do shell script "curl 'ftp://user:password@server//www/htdocs/current/l.txt' -o " & path_2 & "l.txt"

Load multiple files using the same data load location

has anybody tried loading multiple files using the same load locations. I need to do this as the data in these multiple files will need to be exported from FDM as a single export file. the problem i am facing is more user related. since these files will be received at different points of time, users will need a way to tell them what has been loaded and what is yet to be loaded.
is it possible to throw a window on the web broser with OK and Cancel buttons from an event script?
any pointers to possible solutions will be helpful

was able to resolve this. the implementation method is as follows
take a back up of previously imported data in the befcleardata event script. then in the beffileimport event append the data to the import file. there are many other intricacies but this is the broad implementation logic. it allowed my users to load multiple files without worrying about append or replace import type choices

Can we write data to different sheets in the same excel output file ?

Hi,
No, it's not possible with 5.6.2. Excel based templates are supposed to be coming but I don't know when the release date will be.

How can I access a response file on the same computer but with different login?

When trying to access a response file on the same computer that was used to set it up, but with a different login, I get an error message that the network resource was not found. How can I retrieve the responses on the same computer but under a different login/username?

The response file is associated with a specific login (as determined under Edit > Preferences > Identity) so you cannot retrieve it if you're using a different login.

Why would two copies of Lightroom 5 create DNG files with different sizes from the same RAW file? (size is dramatically different, on the order of doubled in size.)

I have a copy of LIghtroom 5 on my office computer and a personal copy on my home computer. I convert my RAW files to DNG with Lightroom when I import them. Files I shoot for work also get imported on my home workstation. I noticed today that the resulting DNG files for the same RAW image are widely different in size. The ones at home are roughly twice as big as the ones from the office.
To the best of my knowledge, things are set up the same on both workstations. Any idea what setting might be causing this variation?

I don't think it's possible to apply lossy compression when importing directly into Lightroom. I know you can do it with the DNG converter and on export but I don't think this is the case here.
In which case we need to determine which set-up producing is the "correctly" sized files. What's the camera and what are the respective file sizes from work and home?

Ability to process several raw files with the same content but with different exposure into the single picture

Can you add to the Lightroom an ability to process several raw files with the same content but with different exposure into the single picture?
Base raw files can be given with exposure bracketing during shooting, for example.
The goal - to get maximum details in darks and lights (if we use the "ligths recovery" or "fill lights" we lose the quality because raw file just have no all required information).
The similar (but not the same, only the idea) thing - is High Dynamic Range Photography in Adobe Photoshop
Thank you

The plugin LR/Enfuse does this already. And of course Photomatix have a plugin available for Lightroom. This essentially amounts to pixel editing, which is beyond the range of Lightroom's metadata editing.

Importing files of the same name in *different* folders?

Yes, yes, we all know about the RAW+JPEG and whatever else argument.
But why should I be prevented from importing identical files that are stored in different folders? Who cares if they are in the library twice?
I haven't figured out if it's just a name issue (don't think so) or if the files have to be truly identical.
I *think*, but am not sure, that you can import separate files of the same name but that are actually different images. Can anyone verify?
Lee Jay

Bob,
It appears that you can import duplicate named files by unchecking the "ignore Duplicates' box--the first time you import files (or a file) from a folder. But, if you go back to that folder to use 'import' to update, then the import takes place immediately bypassing the screen with the "ignore Dulicates' box on it--I presume it assumes that you would not want to change any of the original settings for an import from a given folder.
The point is you had better leave it unchecked always if you want duplicates ingested intially or later on reimport.
