Add all files of one folder to aperture by running a script

HI,
i have a question:
I will make my Aperture Tethered more easy (with my Canon eos 30D) i have coded a script / folder action to do this but: this folder action does not import all pictures (wy ever, i think that the files coming in to fast were not recognized).
Now i will code a script which will include all files of a folder to aperture when it is run.
i will give it a try, and the import does function, but, i don't know how i can tell the script which files it should import (with a folder action its easy, with this line:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
but how to do this without the "on adding folder items" cause that does not happen in the case i will use it.
i'm looking forward to anthers:D
Best Regards
Christoph

yes i tryed this application, and there was the same problem as with my one (i have programmed my based on this application)
but both had the same problem they open on imageadd, but if i take more images in seconds (i think the script is still running => it can't recognize new images) it does not recognize the newly taken images.
and i hope some script that imports all images in the folder will solve the problem.
the more ore less only problem is to tell the application which images to import (like: on run import ALL files)

How to move my all files to one folder

hi, I had created different folders in the acrobat.com. Now, I want to move all my files from all the folders to a different folder. How can I do this? there is not copy or move options available. Please help..

Just to clarify, the above answer is for Workspaces (url is workspaces.acrobat.com), which is the legacy form of Acrobat.com. It should also be noted, to move files in workspaces, you can simply drag/drop files to the folder you want to move them to. You can select multiple files using control + shift key or control+A to select all
However, if you are referring to the cloud storage solution Acrobat.com (url is files.acrobat.com):
Select the files you want to move
After selecting the file(s) a tool bar will display
Click on the Move tool and choose your destination folder in the move dialog
For more information regarding Workspaces and Files.Acrobat.com, see http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3391

Import to library puts all files in one folder

Okay I got my library messed up during the iPhoto'09 to iPhoto'11 upgrade. I know there is way to fix it but I thought I might as well start over with a fresh new library and import all my photos into it to avoid any further issues.
In my old iPhoto library the photos are organized under Originals by YEAR and then EVENTS (in my case date of picture taken). I copied the "Originals" folder from my old library and put it on the desktop.
I then created a new empty library with iPhoto'11 and now tried to import the pictures from the folder on the desktop. It all worked about 6,000 pictures but it didn't quiet organize them as I wanted.
If I look into the new library there is now a "Masters" folder which contains only one other folder which is 2010 which only contains one other one which is "10" and that contains "16" - so obviously the date 2010-10-16 and then all events are in this last folder.
It seems importing has the result of the folder structure being based on the date of import, rather the date of picture taken.
Does anybody know a way how I can get this do import and create folder structure based on date of picture taken?
Thanks!

You can not
the file/folder structure within the iPhoto library is not a user controlled item - it is controlled by iPhoto and must be left as is - simply put there are no suer serviceable (or controllable) parts in the iPhoto library
And there is no need for you to control (or even be aware) of the iPhoto library structure - you should not be going directly into the iPhoto library and the OS access tools know the current structure and use it so you do not have to
If you are concerned about accessing your photos click here for a discussion on the many correct and safe ways to access your iPhoto library photos.

Move files from one folder to another

I am brand new to the application and have spent a ton of time googling various topics, but need some additional help. Seems easy enough, but I can't figure out how to do it...
I would like to move pics from one folder to another. I can drag files from one folder to another, but they still reside in the original folder as well. Is there a way to cut and paste or a similar function to accomplish this move?
Thanks.

Hey, HawaiianHaole, as a multidecade Mac user, let me tell you, Aperture is about the worst example of Mac-iness one could imagine. Ironic, as it's (of course) made by Apple. But it is so inflexible, and insists so vociferously on making the user learn its peculiar interface conventions it reminds me most of something out of that famous company in Redmond.
Want your Projects in an order you choose? Sorry! Want to arrange your windows so you can see your list of chat buddies while you're working in Aperture? Nope, can't do it! Aging eyes have trouble reading tiny grey type on a grey background? Hey buddy, it was your choice to grow old, don't blame us!
But all is not lost. Aperture has gotten considerably better of late (versions up to 2.0 were fundamentally unusable in many ways) and will hopefully continue to improve. (ie Maybe they'll fix the printing thing...)
Please don't make Aperture the basis for your judgement of the Mac OS. Many long time Mac users are having as much trouble with Aperture as you. Mac OSX has significantly reduced customizability but at the benefit of much improved stability and indeed usability. Old school Mac users had to learn to accept this, which most did. You'll hear people talk about the "Way of the Steve". As irksome as Aperture can be, you'll actually have a better time of it if you adopt the Way of the Steve, and accept that you can't do things the way you might want to. This is imho antithetical to the original Mac many of us knew and loved, but it's the way things are today, so we mostly shut up and take it. You can fight with your software all day, or just accept that there are ways you have to adopt and adapt to them.
Welcome to the Bright Side, hope your Mac experience improves.

I suddenly can't move files from one folder to another in my FlashHelp project.

I have RH8 (8.02). I have been working on this project for a couple of years now.
What changed? I had imported a Word document and then removed the document and the folder it created from the Project Manager. Now I cannot move any of my files from one folder to another in the Project Manager pod. I susptected a corrupt CPD file so I closed the project, deleted the CPD file. Next I opened Robo from Programes (I never open from the .xpj file), went to Tools>Options and deleted the pinned most recently used project. Select Open, and locate/open the xpj file. I've also re-generated the output (no errors) and completed all these steps again. Of course Robo only goes haywire on me right before I have to publish for our new software release.

Hi there
From what I'm seeing my own guess here is that RoboHelp is still believing that the content belongs to word.
I might suggest the following steps.
Open Winows Explorer and make copies of the HTML files involved. Then from RoboHelp, delete or remove the content. Then use the Import function to add the desired HTML files back into the project into the desired folder.
My thought is that by taking these steps you will have effectively disassociated Word and the topics should now be independent topics that RoboHelp should allow you to manage as you wish.
Hope you get it sorted... Rick

How to add all music inside a folder to a playlist...

Hi,
I have Nokia e63. There is a simple thing I wanted to ask. I wish to add all songs in a folder to a playlist. How to do that? When I select all songs in a folder inside the Memory Card, there is no option to add music to playlist.
I basically add music folders from my computer to phone's memory card. Now each of these folder contains music of different types. In windows I can easily music files to playlist by selecting all music files and putting them to a playlist.
When I refresh the music player in my phone, all sound files get accumulated in the "All songs" group, including recorded conversations and all songs genres, which is very frustrating.
Is there a way out?

Hello, I also need the answer of this exact question. I have nokia 5130 Express Music but the answer to the original poster will also apply to me. The link provided in the previous post doesn't answer the question of the original asker. Let me ask it again:
I want to create playlists out of the folders not by selecting them one by one and adding them to the desired playlist. Please do not suggest OVI Music player because that piece of junk just doesn't detect my phone no matter what mode I connect my phone with. It is detected fine in the PC suite though. Is there any harder way of doing that? By harder way I mean what playlist formats are supported by 5130 ? and is there any third party application that can create a (.pla) extension playlist. I need help. Thanks is advance.

Multiple devices on same account - how to transfer ALL files in one place?

Hi,
I am using my Apple ID on 5 apple devices, incl. 2 laptops and Mac. Need to migrate all files to one computer for syncing with iPhone and cut out some devices, but...
Question 1: How I can move ALL my music files from old MB Pro (runs Mac OS X 10.5.8) with iTunes 10 to Mac (runs Mac OS X 10.9.2) with iTunes 11.1.5?
Note, this includes songs purchased outside of iTunes and burnt from CDs. Is it possible to somehow easily identify the songs that are missing on Mac and copy just them from the old computer, but without manually comparing? For now for whatever reason Mac only has 401 songs vs my old MB Pro has 1670+ songs. So, please suggest how to make the import on the missing songs to Mac as efficient as possible.
Question 2: How do I deauthorize the device once I copy my old music to Mac? Currently only see the button "Deathorize All" in iTunes on Mac. What if I want to choose which computers I still want to be able to stay on the same Apple ID in iTunes?
Thanks a lot!!

Decide which Mac is your primary. On the Mac that is not the primary - create a folder on the desktop - drag all the tunes from iTunes into that folder - copy that folder to an ext HD or a memory stick.
Plug into the primary Mac and tell iTunes to import all the tunes from the folder.
iTunes has good sort options so it won't take long to get rid of the duplicates using the Show Duplicates from the View dropdown menu.
An alternative would be to check at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ and see if there is a script that will take care of what you want.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.
I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Itunes Library .itl file in one folder, music in another Itunes makes no sense!

A while ago I attempted to move one of my libraries to another folder to try to force Itunes to orginise my files in a way that makes sense.   Older versions of itunes apparently used a Music folder and the new one doesn't (or is it the other way around). So I end up with some files in The Beatles/ItunesMedia/Music/Beatles and other files in Itunes The Beatles/Itunes Mediia/Beatles.
I wanted to force Itunes to re-orginize all of the files under which ever system is newer. I read up and was happy to find tha Itunes had a command to re-orginize and/or consolidate the files.   BUT carrying out this process turned out to be baffling.   It is very unclear what exactly these commands do and how to use them.
So now I have one folder called The Beatles and another folder called The Beatles ALL.   My .itl file is in The Beatles and all my music is in folders in The Beatles All/
I tried to fix this and saw some really strange behavior.   When I open my Library and play a song, that song is moved to ANOTHER folder next to the Music folder.   So now I have my itl file in one folder, most of my music in another folder, and two songs in this new folder that itunes just created.   I'm guessing that everytime I play a song itunes will move it to the new folder (Why?)
If you don't use separate Libraries please don't ask me why I am using separate Libraries.    I have a LOT of Beatles music that is more of a historical collection and I need to keep it separate from the Library of albums that I actually listen too.
To me itunes behavior is crazy.   Can some one explain it in a way that will make me slap my forehead and say "of course...it makes so much sense!"?   or is it just as bizzare and random as I think?
Another approach that I considered was just creating a new library and importing all of those songs. But I believe I would lose all of my playlists and I have my beatles collection extensively orginized by playlists.
Help appreciated.
Mike

This is an overview of how your library ought to be organized and how you might get it there. I can give specific instructions if you provide more details such as the full locations of the folders you mentioned earlier.
Make a split library portable
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
In the layout above, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library is considered to be portable. A portable library can be moved from one path to another without breaking the links between the library and the media, and being self-contained is much easier to backup (You do backup, don't you?).
You can rearrange things to make a split library portable by taking a number of small steps which don't break the library.
Before you start any media files that are outside of the media folder will need to be consolidated (File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files). If the library is in the old style layout then it should be upgraded to iTunes Media Organization (File > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder <Media Folder>) to ensure that iPod Games, Mobile Applications etc. are brought inside the media folder.
The basic non-fatal manipulations are:
You can connect to an alternate set of library files by holding down Shift (Win) or Option (Mac) when starting iTunes.
You can move the library files to a new location as long as the media stays put.
You can move the library files and the media together if the media folder is a direct subfolder of the library folder.
If you have already moved/copied the media content from a subfolder of the library folder to a different location then you only need to copy the library files for it to appear as if you have moved the entire library in the way allowed above. I.e. just copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder.
You can rename the media folder to iTunes Media (if it isn't already) if the media folder is inside the library folder.
iTunes (prior to iTunes 11) uses the name of the folder holding the library files as the window title. Having made a library "portable" you may need to take a final step of renaming the library folder to iTunes or, if the library files have ended up at the root of a drive, moving all of the library files and content folders into a new folder called iTunes.
After each change you need to open, test and close the relevant library before attempting another change. If a change broke the library, undo it or revert to using the previous set of library files.
In essence all you need to do to make your library portable is copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder on the external/secondary drive and use the hold-down-shift/option-when-starting-iTunes method to connect to it. Other manipulations may be required to normalize the library so that the library and media folders have standard names.

I restored my bookmarks from a resent .json file, but one folder is now empty and one is missing.

Hi,
Because of reasons my computer needed to be refreshed. My old firefox profile folder was saved though, and with that the bookmarkbackups. As the title says I restored my bookmarks from a resent .json file, but one folder (containing probably about a hundred bookmarks) is now empty and one other is missing completely.
In some places I have a 5 levels deep folder structure for my bookmarks, but since the folders missing are from different levels I don't think this is the problem.
The now empty folder contained six or seven other folders, that in turn contained a lot of bookmarks with titles including non-alphanumerical characters. †?|&*()<-/., to be precise. However, if I restore a very old .json (from september 2013) the folders are present and contain the mentioned bookmarks - albeit much fewer, since the file is old. A few other bookmarks still present also contain the mentioned characters, so this is probably not the problem either.
The folder that is completely missing just contained a lot of bookmarks that were to be sorted.
When opening the more recent .json files (I have a whole month of automatic backups to choose from) in the firefox scratchpad it would seem that the bookmarks are missing alltogether, so I suppose that there is not much to do about it (please correct me if I'm wrong), but I definitely want to report the bug.
Is there anything at all to do about it?
Thanks,
Hanna

If the bookmarks aren't present in the JSON backup then it is likely that you got a corrupted places.sqlite file at some time that caused the backup not working properly.
Did you try all the backups?
Note that the xxxx part of the bookmarks-####-##-##_xxxx.json file name shows the number of bookmarks in the file.

[Solved] Foreach loop that loops over all files in a folder does not consider first file found

Hello,
I have a foreach loop in SSIS (as part of Visual Studio 10 and with SQL Server 2012).
It loops over all files in a folder (ForEach File Enumerator).
I set the folder: OK
Traverse Sub folders: OK
I have set up a Variable in Variable Mappings called FileName so it shows User::FileName: OK
Index of variable is 0: OK
It almost works ok. Except that the first file it finds is never considered.
I set a breakpoint then and the first file it finds, is shown in black in the watch variable window. All subsequent files found are shown in red font. When I change the names of the files so another file is the first file found then it skips the other one
which now is the first file.
What is going on here? Why does SSIS skip the first file it finds in a foreach file loop?
Any suggestions highly appreciated.
Thank you
Andi
Andreas

"red font - interesting, any example to show us (image)
It would be interesting to share with us whether you use any file masks or expressions.
Arthur

It appears a variable value turns red when it changes between breakpoints. It started black for the first value (the first file, obtained BEFORE the execution reached the breakpoint), and then turned red. I was able to reproduce this behavior on a test environment.
However, it did not skip any files.
OP, please set up the test shown in the image below. Create a breakpoint in the sequence container for the "OnPreExecute" event.

How to Read all files inside resource Folder inside Jar?

I have a Jar file,,,, The program reads for resource files in the resource folder inside the Jar. I want my program to read all files inside this folder without knowing the names or the number of files in the folder.
I am using this to make an Applet easy to be updated with spicific files. I just want to add a file inside the resource folder and Jar the program and automatically the program reads what ever is in there!!
I used the File class to get all file names inside the resource folder. it works fine before Jarring the program. After I jar I recieve a URI not Herarichy Exception!!
File fold=new java.io.File(getClass().getResource(folder).toURI());
String[] files=fold.list();
I hope the question is clear!!

How to get the directory and jar file that you class resides in:
// returns path and jarfile (ex: /home/mydir/my.jar)
public String getJarfileName()
        // Get the location of the jar file and the jar file name
        java.net.URL outputURL = YourClass.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation();
        String outputString = outputURL.toString();
        String[] parseString;
        int index1 = outputString.indexOf(":");
        int index2 = outputString.lastIndexOf(":");
        if (index1!=index2) // Windows/DOS uses C: naming convention
           parseString = outputString.split("file:/");
        else
           parseString = outputString.split("file:");
        String jarFilename = parseString[1];
       return jarFilename;
}If your my.jar was in /home/mydir, it will store "/home/mydir/my.jar" in jarFilename.
note: getLocation returns "file:/C:/home/mydir/my.jar" for Windows/DOS and "file:/home/mydir/my.jar" for windows, thus why I look for the first and last index of the colon so I can correctly split the string.
If you want to grab a file in the jar file and get an InputStream, do the following:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Enumeration;
// jar stuff
import java.util.jar.*;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
public class Jaris
   private JarFile jf;
   public Jaris(String jarFilename) throws Exception
       try
                       jf = new JarFile(jarFilename);
       catch (Exception e)
            jf=null;
            throw(e);
   public InputStream getInputStream(String matchString) throws Exception
       ZipEntry ze=null;
       try
          Enumeration resources = jf.entries();
          while ( resources.hasMoreElements() )
             JarEntry je = (JarEntry) resources.nextElement();
             // find a file that matches this string from anywhere in my jar file
             if ( je.getName().matches(".*\\"+matchString) )
                String filename=je.getName();
                ze=jf.getEntry(filename);
      catch (Exception e)
         throw(e);
      InputStream is = jf.getInputStream(ze);
      return is;
   // for testing the Jaris methods
   public static void main(String[] args)
      try
           String jarFilename=getJarfileName();
           Jaris jis = new Jaris(jarFilename); // this is the string we got from the other method listed above
           InputStream is=jis.getInputStream("myfile.txt"); // can be used for xml, xsl, etc
      catch (Exception e)
         // this is just a test, so we'll ignore the exception
}Happy coding! :)

Move files from one folder to another javascript?

I am running a 3-action droplet automatically using windows task scheduler. Here are the 3 steps:
1.    Batch file to move files from hot folder to processing folder
2.    Run IPP (dr brown's image processor pro) using preloaded settings to make several sizes copies of the files.
3.    Bat file to move the files from processing folder to archive folder.
The problem I am observing is that Step 1 works and IPP begins to run. It only processes the first few images, and then moves on to the 3rd step where the bat file is ran to move all files from processing folder to archive folder.   The trouble is, only a few images were processes (about 10 or so), yet all of the images get moved to the archive without being processed. Is there a way to make sure that step 2 (IPP) doesn’t begin until all files have successfully been moved from the hot folder to the processing folder? IPP starts right away and files are still being transferred to the processing folder.
Does anyone have a script that will move files from one folder to another?

I'm sure I have see a way to close down Photoshop in a Photoshop script. I never had the need to. It may be a simple statement like app.close(); I don't know javascript and only hack Photoshop script mostly by looking at others code. app.close(); is a guess on my part. Let me try it. I was wrong its photoshop.quit();
So make your MoveToArchive.jsx look something like this
try{
   var BAT = new File(Folder.temp + "/MoveFilesToArchive.bat");
   BAT.open("w");
   BAT.writeln('Copy /Y "c:\\Process\\*.jpg" "c:\\Archive\\*.*"');
   BAT.writeln('Del "c:\Process\\*.jpg"');
   BAT.close();
   BAT.execute();   // execute the temp bat file
}catch(e){
alert("Bat MoveFilesToArchive failed to execute.");
photoshop.quit();

Why does iPhone put photos into random folders like "965YOKDJ" in windows explorer? I want all photos in one folder, not separated in a seemingly random manner.

When I plug my iphone 5s into my windows computer and open it in windows explorer, all the photos are separated into folders like "965YOKDJ" and "823WGTMA". The photos don't seem to be separated in a logical way. I would rather them to all be in one folder or, if they are separated, at least have them separated in a logical way like date or something. I doubt, with it being an Apple product, there would be a setting I can change on the iPhone to change the way it labels photos and folders but if anyone knows a way to make this easier and more logical can you tell me? Also if any Apple employees happen to read this could you perhaps improve the way the iphone labels its photos?

Thats the way the files have been configured since the original iPhone so I don't think they are going to change it anytime soon (since it's been 7 years) but you can certainly put in some feedback on apple.com/feedback
I feel you pain somewhat on this one (at least back when I owned a PC). The folders are not logical nor the naming scheme. There is no setting you can change to change this as this is created by the operating system. I would have to assume it is some sort of code. I have noticed that when I do not take a picture for a long while, a new folder is formed, but again, I'm not sure of the criteria on how the iOS knows when to make a new folder inside the DCIM, but I have also seen with with some digital cameras that are not phones

Moving files from one folder to another caused freeze

I now have a list of files stuck in the center of my screen.
I'm sure a reboot will fix this (I hope!) but I thought it was a bug worth reporting.
All I did was move a copy a collection of files from one folder to another folder. It made the "move" sound, and the files have been copied, but something clearly went wrong

Have java.io.File objects pointing to the three folders. Get the list of all the files in the folder. Start a loop and check if the filename ends with Data.dat. If it is so then copy file to the final folder.
To Copy file you can use any of the two approaches.
1. You can read that file as byte stream (java.io.FileInputStream) and write it to the other folder as bytes (java.io.FileOutputStream).
2. You can use shell commands to do this. (java.lang.Runtime.exe() method)
