Access permissions for eps file on Mac

I am asking this question on behalf of a friend...
"When I create an eps file on a mac, it only gives access to the person who created it and it gives the everyone group no access. Is there a way to default this so that everyone has read rights to it?
I have other machines that do not have to change the rights and automatically give read rights to the everyone group by default but I am unsure where or what to change to make this happen for this one user."

Are you logging into a user with Administrative Privileges?
If it is a user account that does not have adminstrative or standard privileges then this might be a problem.
For instance a guest with sharing only.
You set the privileges in the new accounts
You may also have to repair the permissions using the disk utility app in the Applications>Utilities
Or you might have to manually set the sharing to read write for a particular directory which is done with the Get Info dialog.

Read-only access permissions for new files/folders?

System:
Clean Install on new intel Xserve
10.4.8 Server w/ Open Directory
Windows clients can read/write completely fine...
Clients connecting using AFP (whether Standard or Kerberos authentication) can access files, but when new files/folders are created on the server, they register as full permissions for the user who created them, but not for the rest of the group.
The share(s) in question are set using POSIX from WGM: Full access for owner/group/everyone (changed it to this thinking it would help, but it does not). Of course, no one can make changes to a newly-created/deposited files/folders, which is just plain silly.
I can chmod the permissions recursively from a script (which fixes the problem, of course) on a regular basis so that its not (as much of) an issue, but there is still a 5-minute lag for the script to kick in, since we don't want to bombard the server with chmod requests every minute....which is unnecessary in the first place!
I have plenty of other setups which are identical but have no such issue...
Any reason why POSIX permissions on the share are being ignored from every user account?
Thanks,
k

"That's default posix behaviour no matter what access permissions you set on the sharepoint."
I'm afraid this is dead wrong. What matters most is how you set permissions on the share, not if you've chosen to inherit vs. using POSIX. POSIX is still used in inherit functions, though you can use ACL's to override them. In this case, ACL's are not being used on those shares (though we tried it).
After all, why would Apple (let alone anyone else) even offer the ability to change POSIX permissions on a share if it didn't have any effect? That would be somewhat contradictory in nature.
Like I said before, I have several other installations which are identically setup that have no such issues.
As for Windows, it is also not set to inherit permissions; we're setting those explicitly. And they work fine.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
k

ALT text not appearing in PDF for EPS files

Hi,
I have a created a document in InDesign CS5.5 which has images and text. the document should be accessibility complaint.
The document has images which are in PSD, tiff, eps and PNG files. I have applied the Alt text for each images.
After I export the document as PDF, when I mouse over the images, the Alt text is appearing for all the image formats except EPS file format. But Acrobat reads the Alt text for the image.
I am wondering why the Acrobat is not showing the ALT text for EPS file formats when i mouse over the image.
Is anyone facing the same problem? should I do anything in the settings?
please help.

The EPS image is not created in photoshop. the image is created in Illustrator.
Also, what do you mean by Single image? can you please explain a bit more about that?
Thanks.

SAPCAR: can not set permissions for /EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF

We are running SUM 1.0 SP10 on IBM i with V7R1 to put EHP6 and SP's on an ERP 6.0 system.

Hi,
We had the same issue, and in my opinion it is caused by the parallelisation of sapcar during SUM phase PREP_PRE_CHECK/SCANDIR_EPS0
I did see several parallel SAPCAR jobs running during this phase.
So what happens when one job extracts SIGNATURE.SMF at the same time another job tries to finalize its extraction by setting the permissions for /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF?
It can happen that permissions are being set at the same time another sapcar yust deletes this file to begin extracting.
Since we had 146 SAR archives that needed to be extracted, a retry allways ended up in 4 to 12 conflicts.
What did do the trick was adding
/sapcar/extrcact_parallel = 0
to the file
../SUM/abap/bin/SAPup.par
Just as Christoph Langer suggested.
We had to restart the whole phase, a repeat was not enough to solve the problem.

Access Permissions for instances of a subform

Is there any way to set access permissions for an instance of a subform rather than the subform as a whole? Especially for a template that has a certain number of instances saved, where only instances which have been previously saved should be access="nonInteractive" but new instances should be editable.

Like PeeJay says, a custom window controller seems the way to go. Try creating a subclass of NSWindowController, with header something like this:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
@interface MyWindowController : NSWindowController
IBOutlet NSTextField *infoField;
-(void)setInfoText:(NSString *)str;
@end
The implementation of the setInfoText would be something like:
-(void)setInfoText:(NSString *)str{
[infoField setStringValue:str];
Create a nib file with your window in interface builder. Drop the header file for your custom window controller into the interface builder window. Set the custom class of the nib's File's Owner to MyWindowController. You can then hook up the window and infoField outlets from File's Owner to your window.
In the body of your code where you open a new info window, add something like:
MyWindowController *windowController=[[MyWindowController alloc] initWithWindowNibName:@"nameOfWindowNibFile"];
[windowController setInfoText:@"Whatever"];
[windowController showWindow:self];
If you are going to have an undetermined amount of these custom window, it might be a good idea to store the window controller instances in a mutable array, rather than retaining instance variables for each one.

Create preview for eps file

Hi all,
Does anyone have a magic idea how to create a proxy for EPS files?
I only want a thumbnail and/or preview of such files.
Would it be possible to create some script, that could run when the file is imported?
Thanks for any idea.

Four Users, One Mac - Want all to have permissions for all files

Our family shares an imac on 10.6.
I want to set the machine up so all for users have access to all files.
Is this as simple as going to Get Info for the Macintosh HD and changing permissions for everybody to read and write and then choosing the "for all enclosed..."
Simple?
Problems down the road?

If you are using v7 of iPhoto them working from the Users/Shared folder will not work unless you want to get busy changing ACLs in the Terminal.
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. The problem here is that OS X works very hard to keep your data safe and secure from the other users. You're trying to beat what's built in to the system. So, to beat the system
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
Lastly: This method seems a little clunky at first, but works very well. Most importantly, it uses the System to do the job for you.
Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
No partitioning, no permissions issues. Uses no extra disk space. What's not to like?

How to give write permissions to any file in mac os x 10.8.3

How can we give write access to the file in mac os x 10.8.3.It is not allowing to login as root user also.Can any one please help me in this.I think in mac os x 10.8.3 security update only bloocked this root access.We can give permissions to anyfile upto mac os x 10.8.2.How can we edit any system files?

Download TextWrangler from BareBones' website, not the Mac App Store. It will allow you to edit system files by authenticating. The Mac App store version doesn't have that capability.
You could also edit them in the Terminal with pico, nano, emacs (perhaps more). TextWrangler is much easier to use, though.

PS CS5 not saving preview for EPS files

I'm running a trial version of CS5 Design Premium on a brand new Core i5 iMac with 8GB RAM and running SL 10.6.3. So far, I haven't noticed any major glitches, except for the following:
When I save an image as EPS, I usually choose the standard Mac 8 bit preview. This way, when bringing it into Quark, I can see the image. On my previous iMac, in CS3 and Leopard 10.5.8, this worked fine when importing into Quark 7.5.
Now, however, when importing into Quark 8.1.6, the EPS does NOT show a preview. It even indicates that no preview is included in the "Import Picture" window before bringing it in, even though I can see the "preview" in the little preview window. All I get in Quark is a gray box with the filename written inside. This is a bit bizarre!
Then I thought, maybe it's a Quark issue. I tried importing the same EPS file into my old iMac using Quark 7.5 and it does the same thing - no preview.
What's even more strange is that I took an old EPS which HAS a viewable preview, and resaved it (after a resize), and changed no other settings. The preview no longer shows up in Quark. Boom! Gone! Brand new files behave the same way.
Another thing I tried: I saved it using a TIFF preview. That seemed to work, although the preview looked very low-quality. That might work in a pinch, but it doesn't solve the problem of why my EPS files are not saving previews even though they are supposed to be included with the basic Mac Preview options.
Resaving the EPS as TIF also works fine, but again, doesn't solve the problem.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Why do you keep bringing up PICT previews? We have made it clear that we aren't using the standard Macintosh preview. The problem persists when using the Macintosh (JPEG) preview.
Or are you implying that the JPEG preview is actually a PICT preview?
And TIFF and JPEG previews have always differed in how the appear on screen. If they didn't there wouldn't really be any reason for having both, would there? And since they look different in Illustrator and InDesign, can you wander down the hall and ask the guys working on those Adobe products why their code is displaying your code differently than you want it to?
I have no problem with PICT being dead. I'm sure no one else on the forum does either. Your software is the one using it. What I am asking is that you help us with a REAL solution rather than debating it with us. We all have plenty of experience in what we do. I've been using Photoshop since version 1, and I'm sure many of the others weighing in here have too. We know what has worked in your product in the past, and we know what we need it to continue to do for us now and in the future. If Adobe is going to give us forums to spotlight issues, then Adobe should also listen and act. Eight months of debating the existence of PICT files is a waste of everyone's time. Please just fix the code so that when I choose a JPEG preview I get a JPEG preview that shows up in Illustrator, InDesign, or whatever. If a normal JPEG shows up, then a JPEG preview attached to an EPS file should as well. It's not rocket science. And it's not a PICT. It's a JPEG.
I appreciate your assistance in helping all of us with this frustrating and production draining issue. If I sound a bit frazzled it is because it is 7:30 PM and I should be at home with my family, but my jacked up previews caused me to use one of the suggested workarounds, which turned a job that should have taken 20 minutes into a 3 hour adventure. Now let's multiply that out over the last 8 months... And multiply that by everyone affected. I'm sure that adds up to a lot more lost time than what would be required to fix the bug and issue an update.

Solved - How to take ownership and change permissions for blocked files and folders in Powershell

Hello,
I was trying to take ownership & fix permissions on Home Folder/My Documents structures, I ran into the common problem in PowerShell where Set-Acl & Get-Acl return access denied errors. The error occurs because the Administrators have been removed from
file permissions and do not have ownership of the files,folders/directories. (Assuming all other permissions like SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege have been enabled.
I was not able to find any information about someone successfully using native PS to resolve the issue. As I was able to solve the issues surrounding Get-Acl & Set-Acl, I wanted to share the result for those still looking for an answer.
Question: How do you use only Powershell take ownership and reset permissions for files or folders you do not have permissions or ownership of?
Problem:
Using the default function calls to the object fail for a folder that the administrative account does not have permissions or file ownership. You get the following error for Get-Acl:
PS C:\> Get-Acl -path F:\testpath\locked
Get-Acl : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
+ get-acl <<<< -path F:\testpath\locked
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-Acl], UnauthorizedAccessException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetAclCommand
If you create a new ACL and attempt to apply it using Set-Acl, you get:
PS C:\> Set-Acl -path F:\testpath\locked -AclObject $DirAcl
Set-Acl : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
At line:1 char:8
+ Set-Acl <<<< -path "F:\testpath\locked" -AclObject $DirAcl
+ CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (F:\testpath\locked:String) [Set-Acl], UnauthorizedAccessException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetAclCommand
Use of other functions like .GetAccessControl will result in a similar error: "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation."
How do you replace owner on all subcontainers and objects in Powershell with resorting to external applications like takeown, icacls, Windows Explorer GUI, etc.?
Tony

Final Thought: There are great non-PS tools like
Set-Acl and takeown which are external to PS & can also do the job wonderfully. It may be much simpler to call those tools than recreate the wheel in pure
code. Feel free to use whatever best suits your time, scope & cost.

Removing ownership & permissions for all files burned to a DVD?

Hello,
I am new to the concept of "ownership & permissions". Do they apply to files burned to DVD or just the files on the computer? I would like to burn some files onto a DVD for backup and I do not want to copy the "ownership & permissions" settings of the files - I just need to backup the files only. I would like to back the files up for a year or two and I am concerned that in the future I may not remember my usernames or passwords to access these files from the burned DVD.
Do "ownership & permissions" apply to files burned onto a DVD? Or does the DVD burning process erase the "ownership & permissions" settings? I tried to burn a DVD from OSX by creating a burn folder and I didn't see any setting that allowed me to remove the "ownership & permissions" settings.
Thank you for any insite into this.

Thanks Mulder,
Here is what I am trying to do:
I do not need to backup any system files - I already have OSX on my original DVD if I needed to re-install. I only need to backup the users' document files and maybe some email folders in the users' libraries.
I set up three accounts:
1. The first account is for admin purposes only.
2. The second is for my own use - it is the account used most often on this computer.
3. The third account is for my family.
Note: I will set up a fourth account for our student renter later.
I will have access to the user names and passwords of all these accounts in case I need to go into the accounts to back up their documents. But the user(s) of the family account will not have my password - so the kids don't accidently erase any of my files.
When working in the second account (which is used most often by myself), I sometimes need to place newly created files into the "document" folder on our family account (the third account). And so I purposely changed the "Ownership & Permissions" on the "document" folder on our family account (the third account) to Group: second account. This allows me (the second account) to place files into the "Document" folder of the third account (the family account). After doing this, I also need to change the "Ownership & Permissions" of any added files to Group: third account so the user(s) of the family account can edit (read and write) the files I add from the second account.
An alternative setup that I decided not to use: I could have made use of the "users/shared" folder for this, however, I do not want everyone to be able to access these files - especially when I set up a fourth account (or even more accounts) in the future. I only would like to share the contents of the third account's "Document" folder between two users (user of the second account and the user of the third account).
Now I will continue the explanation of my setup:
Over time the "Document" folder of the third account (the family account) will become filled with a mixture of files with different Ownerships - some created from the second account and some created from the third account - but all editable from either the second account or the third account by assigning each other access via the "Group" designation in "Ownership & Permission". Because of this mix of files with different ownerships, I could, if I wanted to keep the settings consistent, select the "Document" folder of the third account (the family account) and change the ownership of all enclosed items to the user of the third account by using the "Apply to enclosed items". I would probably also change the "Group" designation to the second account too.
I will be able to make all these changes because I have the user names and passwords for all the accounts.
Now here is my main question:
My concern is that when it comes time to backup the document folders onto DVD, what if in a couple years I forget these passwords? You see, I would rather not copy any "Ownership & Permissions" settings of the files onto the DVD. Lets say that in a couple of years I go back to my DVD backup and need to pull off some old jpeg files and put them onto my computer. When I insert the old backup DVD will it say: "Sorry, you do not have access priviledges to view these files" or something like that? That would be a real problem. These are my own files. Why would I want to risk making an important backup DVD un-useable in the future because of some long-and-forgotten permission settings?
What I would like to do is copy all my files onto DVD for backup in such a way that "Ownership & Permissions" are not copied. Why put the risk of a limitation on your important backups? Is there a better way to do this? What do other people do?
Am I making this more complicated than it has to be? As you can tell, I am a beginner with OSX (and permissions) and I am looking for some advice. Thanks
Mulder, when you wrote:
"If you're trying to backup just selected files, such as your purchased music or applications, etc., then ownership and permissions shouldn't be a problem."
did you mean that ownership and permissions are not copied? That would be great. But I am not sure if that is what you meant to write. Thanks!

Weird Thumbnail Dimensions for EPS Files in Bridge CS4

Using Preferences> Thumbnails, I have set Bridge CS4 to show "Dimensions" as one of the metadata items. It works correctly for PSD, NEF, and TIF files, but not EPS files. For example, a PSD file may show dimensions of 1006 x 583 pixels. But he same image converted to EPS format shows the dimensions as 207 x 120. Why is this not also showing as 1006 x 583? Is Bridge reading dimensions of the embedded preview image? And, if so, why is it not reading the dimensions of the main image, instead?

they remain connected as long as you do your renaming inside of Bridge

Question about Illustrator CS5 making eps files in Mac OS 10.9.5

Hello, I am using Illustrator CS5 on a Mac. I just updates to Mac OS 10.9.5
Now when I save an simple Illustrator vector file as an eps, and place it in another program (such as Quark), I get code instead of the preview image. I tried older vector eps files, and they still work. i tried older Quark files, and they still work. I ruled out font problems. I tried importing new Illustrator ai file, same result. Any thoughts?

Ask in the AI forum and include proper details about your export settings and your artwork. EPS parsing errors usually mean you chose an unsuitable combination of settings and/or the embedded previews are botched.

No thumbnails for .EPS files in Finder Cover Flow?

I found a plugin for this: http://www.eternalstorms.at/staff/index.html
It worked for one day, but today I can no longer preview .eps files. Any ideas?

I had a QuickLook folder with the plugin, in two separate folders, the sysytem Library, and the home directory Library.
I removed the QuickLook folder from my home directory, 'HD/users/username/Library/QuickLook', and restarted.
Seems to be working fine now = ] thanks
