Any way to get unique filename in "Save as" dialog?

is there any kind of 3rd-party add-on or whatever that would give an option in the "Save as" dialog to simply make up a file name that would be unique in whatever folder it's trying to save to?

Do you mean to automatically insert a filename for you in the Save As: field of the dialog? Why is that needed when the field is usually always in a selected state so you can enter a filename of your choice? Maybe I don't quite understand what you are asking.
ok. Suppose I am downloading files from an on-line web archive where many of the files have the same name. This means that for each one, I have to modify the name manually in the Save As: field, so they don't overwrite each other when I'm saving to a folder on my local hard drive. I certainly can enter new names for each, but it gets very tedious when there are a lot of files. I was wondering if there's any 3rd-party software that puts an extra option on there to automatically save with a unique name.
thanks,

Is there any way to get unique numbers for a label?

Im writing a lottery code and would like to know if there is anyway to get my 6 numbers in my label to be different
this is my code so far
Public Class frmMain
Private randGen As New Random
Private Sub btnExit_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub
Private Sub btnSelect_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnSelect.Click
Dim intNum1 As Integer
Dim intNum2 As Integer
Dim intNum3 As Integer
Dim intNum4 As Integer
Dim intNum5 As Integer
Dim intNum6 As Integer
intNum1 = randGen.Next(1, 54)
intNum2 = randGen.Next(1, 54)
intNum3 = randGen.Next(1, 54)
intNum4 = randGen.Next(1, 54)
intNum5 = randGen.Next(1, 54)
intNum6 = randGen.Next(1, 54)
lblNumbers.Text = String.Format("{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}", intNum1, intNum2, intNum3, intNum4, intNum5, intNum6)
End Sub
End Class

Here's one way using nested For loops. This was tested and it works. It will select 6 different unique numbers between 1 - 54.
Private Sub btnOK_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOK.Click
Dim num As Integer, dup As Boolean = False
Dim randnum As New Random()
Dim strand As String = ""
Dim itm As String = ""
For x As Integer = 1 To 6
For y As Integer = 1 To 6
num = randnum.Next(1, 55)
itm = num.ToString()
If strand.Contains(itm) Then
dup = True
x = x - 1
Exit For
End If
Next y
If dup = False Then strand &= itm & " "
dup = False
Next x
lblRandom.Text = strand
End Sub
Here is another way using the Shuffle Sort algorithm with an array:
Private Sub btnShuffle_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnShuffle.Click
Dim mix, temp As Integer
Dim randnum As New Random
Dim strand(54) As Integer
lblRandom.Text = ""
For x As Integer = 1 To 54
strand(x) = x
Next
For x As Integer = 1 To 54
mix = randnum.Next(1, 55)
temp = strand(mix)
strand(mix) = strand(x)
strand(x) = temp
Next
For x As Integer = 1 To 6
lblRandom.Text &= strand(x).ToString & " "
Next
End Sub

Is there a way to get the filename only on iOS using CameraRoll?

This post is a sidetrack from this post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/848761?tstart=0
The method used in that post works perfect on both Android and iOS for selecting and uploading files.... BUT is there a way to get the filename of the file from the mediaPromise cross-plattform?
If you let the user select an image it's not very nice to have the image be called "temp.jpg" after uploading - you want the user to know which image he/her have uploaded
Any ideas? The "mediaPromise.file.relativePath()" works on Android but not on iOS. Not "mediaPromise["file"].url/relativePath/nativePath" either.
Thank you

Hey Joe what do you think of this solution.
1. Let the user select the image
2. Store the mediaPromise object in an array (event.data) for later use
3. Load in the object using loadMediaPremise
4. Add the loaded image into a movieclip (not visible from the scene)
5. Resize that movieclip to let's say 100x100
6. Use the BitmapData class to create a new bitmap from that movieclip and save it to storage
7. Use the saved file within the app as a thumbail
8. Use the mediaPromise object stored in the array later when the user wants to upload the images (then go through mediaPromise.open() on each image -> save to storage -> upload -> clear from storage -> loop).
I haven't tried it yet (will do this week) but should that be a acceptable solution to the problem(?)
I'm unsure if by just keeping the mediaPromise object within Flash will make the memory run wild though?

Is there any way to retreive the FileName in the mapping

Is there any way to retreive the FileName and so that I can use that in my mapping. This is FILE2RFC scenario with NO BPM.
I am using the adapter specific message attributes in the file sender CC.
Thanks,
Ravi

Yes you can retreive it. Create an simple user defined function in the mapping and use the following code.
Imports: com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
Parameter: String filename
Paramter: String filename;
filename = fileName + ".DAT";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
conf.put(key, filename);
return filename;
Or
Just do whatever mentioned in this weblog:

I had 41 tabs open in about six groups over the last year and a half and I just close them and exited Firefox. Is there any way to get them back?

I had 41 tabs open in about six groups over the last year and a half and I just close them and exited Firefox. Is there any way to get them back?
Also, is there any way to save a group or an open session and then restore it later?

History menu, if it was destroyed in the last session
then use "Restore Previous session:" and then restore all windows also from the history menu.
If done in this session try the restore all windows under the history menu.

When closing multiple tabs, is there any way to get back the option of saving those tabs OR NOT for your next session, within the warning dialogue box itself?

For brief period of time, not in FF4, there was the option whereby when I closed multiple tabs, a firefox dialogue box opened warning me that I'm about to close multiple tabs, '''AND ALSO''' asking me if wanted to save those tabs for my next session, or trash them.
The primary issue IS NOT about saving tabs. The primary question here is about getting THE OPTION back to the CLOSING MULTIPLE TABS WARNING DIALOGUE.
The use case here should be obvious. However, since it is clearly not obvious that different people work in a variety of ways, and neither of those methods of working is "wrong" or "right" I will elaborate: Some people, for whatever reason, it doesn't matter why, want to save all their tabs on some occasions, and on other occasions don't.
This preference varies throughout the day. Therefore it is inefficient to constantly go to preferences and change whether or not I want firefox to open all my tabs from my last session. It is more LOGICAL to place an option in the multiple tab warning dialogue as well, for people whose preference constantly changes.
This option was available for a time in most of the Firefox 3 versions. Is there any way to get back this option in Firefox 4?

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no need for asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.

Ah, well, then the notes are probably gone. Did you save any of the email from that account on your computer? The notes might be there if you did.

My one year old disabled my iphone 5 so i need to "connect it to itunes" as the screen directs. I know how to do this with my laptop but it says i will be doing a factory reset. is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?

Long story short, my one year old disabled my iphone5 and I need to "connect to itunes" as the screen instructs. I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?? I'm mainly concerned about my pictures and videos.

Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

Hai all,
I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)
regards,
Namanc

Bro Take it easy.
Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
Now make ur server educated using some commands.
For example:
FileName: <File Name String>
[Means new file is sending by connected client]
FileSize: <File size long or int value>
[ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
DataModeOpen
[Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
DataModeClose
[Means file sending finished]
Close
[Means your client connection is closed]
Now develop a client supporting this command.
For example(Server):
String getFileName=null;
long getFileSize=0;
public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
 if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
 String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
 this.getFileName= splitData[1];
 outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
 } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
 String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
 this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
 outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
 } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
 //data mode open so receive data
 receiveData();
 outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
 } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
 //close client socket
 getClientSocket.close();
}For client:
DataInputStream dataIn=null;
BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
 //if ok found then do other or show error message
 if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
 if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
 if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
 bout.write(getBytes);
 } else {
 showError(3);
 } else {
 showError(2);
 } else {
 showError(1);
}i think it will help u

Is there any way to get contacts back after them being deleted form iCloud?

My dad recently asked me to update his phone, so I plugged it into my computer to do so. For some reason just doing that resulted in his settings to change to have iCloud contact sync on. This resulted in our contacts syncing so his would show up on my phone and mine on his. He went on to delete all of my contacts from his phone, not realizing they were also being deleted on iCloud (therefore from my phone as well). I don't even understand why my contacts were not saved on my phone in the first place but all transfered to iCloud, but now they are gone from there as well. I tried restoring my phone from a backup on my computer a few weeks ago, however, this just restored everything else except for the contacts. So what I'm asking if there is any way to get contacts back that were ONLY on iCloud (because apparently apple doesn't realize saving something to a single place on the cloud isn't a good backup) but now are deleted. Does iCloud save this sort of information even after it is deleted?

Henrik.B wrote:
The issue isn't that I need to restore the contacts from iCloud to my phone, it's that the contacts on my iCloud themselves have been deleted.
The contacts might be deleted from icloud.com, but if they were on your phone when you created your last backup, they can be restored from your backup by following the user tip. The backup is separate from the data you see on icloud.com.

Is there any way to get this palette into photoshop CS6?

I'm curious as to why Photoshop CS6 can't have a simple effective palette choice like this one from Fireworks?
I'm an artist and this palette makes sense to me. The standard issue pallette in Photoshop is a mess compared to this.
Is there any way to get this palette into photoshop CS6?
Thanks!

If your talking about the Color Cubes from fireworks as shown in your screenshot, then yes.
Save the swatches out of fireworks as an Adobe Swatch Exchange File (ASE) and then you can load them into photoshop
in it's swatches panel like below.

I was burning an audio book and on the last of six CDs, the CD i entered had a problem. Itunes quit without burning the last CD. Is there any way to get it to burn just the last CD or do I have to re-burn all of them?

I was burning an audo book to CD. It was six CDs long. After the fitth CD I inserted one that was defective and itunes just ended, as though
the burning had been completed. Now I have five of the six CDs.
1) Why did it do this instead of telling me I had a bad disk or something?
2) Is there any way to get it to re-burn just the last disk instead of having to re-burn all of them?

HT5070 I purchased Season 2 of Game of Thrones and after watching episode 1 I realized I've already seen it. I haven't downloaded any other episodes yet. If there any way to get a refund?

A refund may not be possible since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you. Unlikely, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Good luck.
