AIR Update Proccess and the File System

I have a client who’s using a 3rd party installer to install their AIR. They’re doing this because they’ve got a large amount of content (600mb) and the typical packaging process is falling over. We’ve got a workable solution where we install the content into the app directory (/Applications/OurApp) via the 3rd party installer after the AIR app is installed, but we’re a bit concerned that the directory may get blown away with a future update on our part using the standard air updater process.
We’ve tested on mac and windows and everything seems to be OK, ie our content files seem to stay intact. I’m wondering though, is this just a happy mistake? Is what we’re doing safe or should we go about it in a different way? Should we be storing our content outside of the application directory? I’m concerned this process may change in a future version of AIR and all of our content will disappear.
I know the forum is closing soon, but I figured this could be relevant because it relates to future versions of AIR.

This is a situation I'm dealing with -- where 3rd party java (DataCash credit card gateway) insists on accessing filesystem based resources, in particular binary files containing card information (bin ranges etc to work out what bankk/country issued a card). We have no control over how this accesses these two files; it insists on a filesystem based path location like "C://Java//DataCash-Java-2.0.10//cardinfo".
Just feeding it a package location doesn't work, nor has using the classloader to point to the actual location to derive something like: "jar:file:/C:/Java/jboss-3.0.4/server/betex/tmp/deploy/blahblah/blah.ear/81.blah/blah.jar!/com/ourpackage/blah/blah" (even if I strip off the jar:file:/ bit)
All we know about the client code is that the reference to the file is initialised using the File(String pathname) constructor of the java.io.File object.
I'm currently looking at the jakarta commons VFS package for a solution, but without success so far (I have an odd compilation issue to resolve).
So any tips/pointers greatly appreciated.

Flash Player 9, Director MX, LocalConnection and the file system sandbox

I have a Director MX asset to which I have no source-code
access. Previously I could use LocalConnection in a Flash Player 8
projector to interact with the Director app, local to the
file-system. I seem unable to do the same thing with a Flash Player
9 projector. The director asset looks for and loads the relevant
Flash projector and unloads itself when it is no longer present,
and this functionality continues without a problem. However, when I
use the LocalConnection.send method, the Flash player does not
receive the expected responses.
I know that this is a rather general and abstract question:
put simply, does anyone know whether Flash Player 9 and Director MX
can't talk to each other using LocalConnection?
ps to pre-empt over-enthusiastic respondees, yes I am aware
of other technologies such as AIR, Zinc etc, and no they're not a
viable option for my particular project.

Hi,
the following sourcecode is compiled with Flexbuilder 2 and
runs in flashplayer 9.0.115 as expected.
How do you trigger the effect?
best regards,
kcell

I can't open a file I just created a week ago and it says pages needs to be updated to open the file but its up to date

I can't open a file I just created a week ago and it says pages needs to be updated to open the file but its up to date, what do I do?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

What kind of gobbledegook is that? Are you or Microsoft crazy. Us computer users need simpler instructions. Or you need to write your programs so that they work.

I am trying to resize disk space on parallels 6 for windows XP under configure Hardrive and I get the error resizing failed unable to resize last volume the file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported? I am on a Mac using Parallels 6

I have been trying to increase my disk space for windows xp on my Imac and I am running parallels 6. before opening windows I go into configure in parallels and open the hard drive and try to move the allotted disk space from 32 gig to 64 or any other increased gig and then apply and I get the error message: resizing failed unable to resize last volume. The file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported. How do I increase the size?? I just also did a disk repair utility with Apple on the Apple side of my IMAC. Please Help!! I had uninstalled SQL server on the windows side and needed to uncompress files to install this and then I ran short on disk space.

This sounds to me that your Parallels XP file system is corrupted and not the OSX file system.
Have you checked the XP file system while running the Parallels XP yet ?
However, it would be better to ask such question in the Parallels Forum http://forum.parallels.com/

When compacting, I get an alert that asks me to verify that I enough disc space and that I have write privalages to the file system. How do I do this?

Mozilla asks me if I want to compact, I click 'yes' and after a while I get this:
Alert
The folder 'inbox' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed.Verify that you have enough disc space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.
I have no idea what to do know. Please can someone help me?

I have apple 4s and the operating system is iOS 5.1.1 got the update message of iOS 6. if update the iOS 6, other functions will work unchanging?

What other functions?
There have been some wifi related issues reported with the 4S being updated to IOS 6. There is no turning back once you update so keep that in mind.
I recommend updating via iTunes so that you make a backup of all your data. You may want to make an iCloud backup as well.
Other than that, I don't understand what other functions you are concerned about?

Linux Mint 17, migrated from Win7: Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

I get this error message (The messages could not be filtered to folder 'Generic Folder' because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.) popping up on many, though not all of my incoming filters. I recently migrated from a Windows 7 installation to a Linux Mint 17 system.

I did give it time to run through everything when I initially migrated, and it frequently will sit open for 3 to 4 hours while I'm working on other projects.
The 'Generic Folder' represents sorting folders in my main mail account in Thunderbird. For example, my mail which is listed to filter into my 'Amazon' folder is sorted there with no problem, while any mail designated to be filtered into my 'Games' folder prompts the above error massage.

what does this mean and how do I correct it???

I have this problem too, but my Inbox is empty. There are 125 emails waiting on the server, including one i just sent from another address.
The site you recommended is "having difficulties".
May 4
I have now accessed the KB article above. None of the recommended actions made a difference. I deleted about half the 130 emails awaiting download from web-mail, but still got the same error. I can't clean out the inbox because I can't download emails yo it :-( I have 3 other addresses operating under the same server satisfactorily.

Strategy and Process on how to best enqueue from the file system

I have a single database that must accept BFILES from one location via a directory folder, http text documents via proxy server, and unstructured XMLTYPE CLOB from another database.
I have created an ANYDATA queue, and will try to transform the dequeued output to XMLTYPE payloads for a pl/sql callback.
My problem is how to monitor both the file system BFILE folder, and the XMLTYPE CLOBS, to automatically begin then enqueue process. The queue would have to accept from (1) to anynumber of files, and given that requirement the use of an array batch is what I would like to use, but need to populate the array.
Any help would be most appreciated.
David

Thank you for the quick reply.
The database version is 10.2.0.3.
There are three sources of documents coming into the system.
Source 1: Outside entity (in-front of a secure firewall) who must place their XML (XSD compliant) files on a shared file system server (the BFILES).
Source 2: Internal entity (behind firewall) who publishes their XML files to a defined database directory on the database server.
Source 3: Enterprise Intranet contributors submitting their individual files via url.
On entry for each file they must be validated for XSD compliance then if passed submitted to the main enqueue for propagation to 5 additional process queues with separate callback procedures.
If reasonably possible, separate agents of some sort would "listen" at each folder location, then begin the enqueue process when either a batch of files or a single file is placed in the directory folder.
AQ itself has no such mechanism to monitor locations, and a scheduled job makes sense - however the job would have to continuously run given the very short processing requirement. However, using DBMS_SCHEDULER may be the best solution given ALL rhe requirements.
Thank you for your professionalism - I appreciate the assistance.

Crystal Reports XI String [255] limit with the File System Data driver...

I was trying to create a Crystal Reports XI report to return security permissions of files and folders. I have been able to successfully connect and return data using the File System Data driver as the Data Source; however the String limit on the ACL NT Security Field is 255 characters. The full string of data to be returned can be much longer than the 255 limit and I cannot find how to manipulate that parameter.
I am currently on Crystals XI and Crystal XI R2 and have applied the latest service packs but still see the issue. My Crystal Reports Database DLL for File System data ( crdb_FileSystem.dll ) is at Product Version 11.5.10.1263.
Is it possible to change string limits when using the File System Data driver as the Data Source? If so, how can that be accomplished. If not, is there another method to retrieve information with the Windows File System Data being the Data Source? Meaning, could I reach my end game objective of reporting on the Windows ACL's with Crystal through another method?

Hello,
This is a known issue. Early versions you could not create folder structures longer than 255 characters. With the updates to the various OS's this is now possible but CR did not allocate the same space required.
It's been tracked as an enhancement - ADAPT01174519 but set for a future release.
There are likely other ways of getting the info and then putting it into an Excel file format and using that as the data source.
I did a Google search and found this option: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/16772-45-display-explorer-folders-tree-structure-export-excel
There are tools out there to do this kind of thing....
Thank you
Don
Note the reference to msls.exe appears to be a trojan: http://www.greatis.com/appdata/d/m/msls.exe.htm so don't install it.
