Applying workflow to folders within folders

We are currently moving all of our backup files to a Windows file share and all of our older files that have odd characters (i.e. ">", "*", ect), Can not be copied over. I found a Apple Script that will change all of the characters to Web Friendly (thanks to Mike Piontek ( http://mikepiontek.com )). This seems to be helping changing the file names.
The question i have is how to apply it to the main folder, and have it change all of the files and folders within it. We are trying to move about 30k files and manually going through them is becoming quite the procedure.
Thanks for your help

You can't freeze a Contribution Folder itself as I said earlier, just the content in the Contribution Folder. You can freeze a "records" folder, but if objects are stored in the retention schedule at the category level and not at the records folder level, such a freeze would be useless. (You can't freeze a category either.)

  • In IE I used different levels of folders for my favourites. After importing I miss the bookmarks of folders within folders within folders etc.

    In Internet Explorer it is possible to organize favourites with folders as in firefox. In these folders you can make new folders and within those new folders. Can this tree structure be used in Firefox? After importing most of my favourites are gone, I can find no folders within folders within folders etc. So most of my favourites are not imported from IE.

    Thanks for the helpful thoughts LarryHN. I'm having a Mac guy look at my MacBook Pro in the next day or so to see what he can find out. I described the issue on the phone... and like you, he said that saving my documents to a thumb drive shouldn't affect my iPhoto library.
    One reason I bought the thumb drive was to back up my iPhoto library, but the time I got to that, it was already gone. I've thought of getting Time Machine (and have checked out other systems), but the reviews are so mixed, I'm dragging my feet on coughing up the cash right now.
    When I launch iPhoto, I only see the last few weeks' worth of photos. Oddly, photos I imported 3 weeks ago appear, but are in a folder dated November 2012--when I know I took those and imported them in January 2013. So that's weird...
    When I got to iPhoto Library, I have an Auto Import folder with nothing in it. "My Pictures" folder has nothing as well. I did hold down the option key while opening up iPhoto, but only my recent library (a few weeks' worth of photos) appears. I'm using iPhoto 2011 (6.2.3). I can only hope my Mac guy can help...

  • How do I created multiple folders within folders in "Photo"

    How do I created multiple folders within folders (subfolders) in "Photo".  It happens in the first level when I use the Albums folder, but thereafter it doesn't allow me to create another folder within the folder.  I can also not drag a folder into another, after the first level of folders.  Please help.

    Yes you can.  Click once on the top folder and use the File ➙ Create Folder menu option.  A new folder will be created inside the selected folder:

  • Sort photos into folders-within-folders? Thanks guys.

    Hey guys, does anyone know if it's possible to place photo albums into folders? I.e. Can I essentially sort my photos into folders-within-folders? If not, any opinions on the best app that achieves this? Thanks guys.

    1 - do not go into the iPhoto library using the finder and never, never make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder or other programs - use iPhoto to manage your photos - it must totally control the library - it is a SQL database
    2 - Within iPhoto you can create albums from photos and you can create folders - folders can hold albums or other folders
    3 - you also have smart albums and the search in the lower left which lets you find any photo easily if you have assigned faces, places and keywords

  • Does Pages have the facility to create folders within folders?

    Having the ability to do this would encourage me to change from Microsoft word to Pages. Is it possible?

    In Pages for OS X, you can't create folders within folders if you are using iCloud to store your documents, but you can do this if you are storing them on your hard disk.
    In Pages for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, you can't create folders within folders, so you are free to switch if you need this feature. Note that Office is only available for the iPhone if you are an Office 365 subscriber

  • Pages: creating folders within folders

    Using Pages in iWork on a MacBook (system 10.9.4), is it possible to create folders within folders? Dragging one document  and dropping it on another one isn't working within a folder.

    That is an iOS method, not an OSX method.
    command shift n creates a new folder in Finder or in a Save dialog, then move or save the file into that folder.

  • How can I put folders within folders in alphabetical order in MAIL?

    In Mail I have several folders covering my major areas of work.  in each of these folders I may have 10 to 50 subfolders,  which represent my clients.
    All I ant to do is put these sub-folders in alphabetical order so I can locate them rapidly.  Can I?

    THANKS LANNY.  THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS NO AUTOMATIC ALPHEBETICAL
    Thanks, Lanny.  I suppose this means there is no command I can use to put my folders in alphabetical order automatically.
    I am dragging them now -- but with about 30 folders with 40 to 50 names in each ... this is a time consuming chore
    that shouldn't be necessary.  Apple should pay more attention to MAIL .... most of my Apple friends do not even use itl.

  • Shortcut for opening folders within folders?

    Hi,
    Isn't there a shortcut for opening a file that's in, like, four folders? Today I opened and opened, then thought, I know there's an easier way.
    Thanks,
    Allan

    Highlight the item you wish to open quickly. Hold down option + command and drag the item to a convenient location such as your Desktop to create an alias (shortcut) to the item.

  • Firefox 4 Hidden Cache Divided Into Folders, and Folders Within Folders

    Firefox 4 - Hidden Cache Divided Into Folders
    I don't want cache divided into folders and more folders.
    It's now virtually impossible to copy and save streamed media directly from the hidden cache.
    Solution to permanently eliminating all the folders and reverting back to 1 cache folder filled with a list?

    I'll try to explain this more coherently -
    documents and settings/owner/local settings/application data/mozilla/firefox/profiles/profile-name_default/cache
    Firefox 4 has a new caching system
    cache - open up and say hello to multiple folders and subfolders, instead of single cache folder filled with cached files
    This is making it an utter nightmare to try and copy/save streamed media, flash videos, unsaved pictures, other documents, etc
    Many files in the hidden cache are not stored in "Temp" folder or "Temporary Internet Files" folder, the hidden cache is the only location where they're stored
    How can users revert back the old cache (single folder) system?

  • Automatic sorting of albums within folders

    I guess iPhoto still does not have any way (that I could find) of automatically sorting Albums that are within folders.
    I know you can drag and drop, but that becomes a pain when you have a large number of Albums.
    Anyone have any options for sorting within Folders?

    lekos:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you referring to Events in the Events or Photos window? In the Events window you can sort the Events by title or date but in the Photos window Events can only be sorted by Date, either ascending or descending by using the View->Sort menu options.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Just moved to Mac from Windows, so far biggest headache is the way folders are treated. I manage several very large websites and involve a lot of files within folders and I need the folders to show the date the last file inside it was changed?

    In my FTP client I can click to sort by date modified which is fine if you are in a folder and then it shows the file dates correctly - but any folders within the root folder don't they seem to display randomly all together at the bottom of the list and it is a nightmare trying to find what folders have files in them that have been changed.
    Is there any way to get the folder to register the last date of a file within it that was modified?

    I dont know the answer yet, but i have noted what appears to be a bug in 10.9 in how it handles folder dates.  Right now i am seeing folder modified dates changing randomly ot "today" - whatever date the parent folder was opened.
    In the past my folders "modified" date was always the same as the last modified date of the items within.  But this only moved down ONE level - if a subfolder's entries were updated the "gradfather" folder did not update.
    But now severa people are reporting random, incorrect folder dates. I hoep this will be corrected soon, but who knows?

  • HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

    Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
    This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

    Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

  • Am I able to stream from sub folders within the VOD?

    Hi guys,
    I have Flash Media Server 3.5 on a Windows server, but I don't no much about how to make it work. Until know we have only used it for live streaming.
    I have let myself guide through the beginners pages and they're helpful, testing everything locally (applications/babyvultures/streams/_definst_/vultures.mp4).
    The problem is when I copy my project to the server; same structure, but no video. If I move the file to the applications/vod/media, and change the path in the script, there is no problems.
    So the big question is: am I able to have sub folders within the applications/vod ?
    The thing is, that I want to publish videos from different sites that is also located on the server, and what I thought I could do, was to make sub folders, one for each site and then people can access their streaming folder via FTP, being able to publish their own videos with the advantage of rtmp streaming.
    Is it a limit in FMS? Or is there a solution?
    Thank in advance

    My case is that I have FMS 3.5 (not FMIS) installed on a webserver with a bunch of sites who each have their videos, (some more than others).
    Right now they all publish their videos via each their site root or videos folder with progressive download, so to improve the viewers experience and to decrease the level uploaded Gb from the server, I want to use the FMS with RTMP streaming.
    On the webserver we have a few sites, who has a large quantity of videos and very long ones, and they need to have a sub folder structure to administrate their videos, so it could look like this:
    FMSroot/
            applications/
                         vod/
                             site1/
                                   folder1
                                   folder2
                                   folder3/
                                           subfolder1
                             site2/
                                   folder1
                                   folder2
                                   folder3/
                                           subfolder1
    I am not planning to make something very complicated with scipts and such. Just a Joomla site and a module where I type in the address of the videos.
    I have tested with Adobe Flash, and the beginners samples, to make a script that shows a video from applications/BabyVultures/streams/_definst_/, but I cannot make it work unless I place the video in the VOD.
    I have the same problem publishing videos thruogh a Joomla module - I cannot get access to the video.
    The funny thing is that, in the Flash Administration Console, it detects and accepts the request, but yet nothing happens.
    What is confusing is the MEDIA folder inside the VOD, but it is not part of the stream path name.
    What should be the path of the file: vod/subfolder/video.f4v or vod/media/subfolder/video.f4v or something else?
    Thanks in advance

  • How to view long file names and sort files within folders/projects?

    Hello, like so many people here, I am a new mac user, but certainly not computer illiterate. I have been a professional photographer for 10 years and recently change to mac and have been slowly trying to adapt my work flow accordingly.
    However I have become increasingly frustrated with Aperture 3 and after reading posts here it looks like I am certainly not the only person. While in my case I am sure it is because of my inexperience with mac systems so any guidance or assistance is much appreciated.
    Hopefully my questions are simple. I have been importing my images and re-naming images as I do so. A very simple combination of date, custom name, and counter. However, when I look at the images once the import has completed, they are not in any logical order within the 'project'. I have tried to sort them by file name, orientation, file size, etc, both ascending and descending, but they will not list in the correct order. eg the file '2010-03-09 Lyon France 001', continually falls between '2010-03-09 Lyon France 022' and '....021'.
    This has also lead me to a further question. While my file names can generally be read when the image is a landscape format, on the portrait images the file name it too long for me to read the whole name, and I can not find anyway to read the file name, eg browser, split screen, viewer, or full screen.
    Im sorry for all the details, and I am sure it is just my lack of experience, so appreciate your help.
    PS. On a separate note, I notice on another thread from the frustrated user 'ultratechy' that he got a reply from Tony who stated 'Also after installing any application you should always run disk utility and repair permissions....' Now as I am completely new to mac, I had no idea about this. Any other tips that I should always be aware of? Thanks again.

    Thanks for your reply Calx. If it makes you feel better, I am actually a New South Welshman - just living in the sunshine state!
    You are correct, I am trying to get my head around a new way of working and thinking, but I suppose it will all become clearer as time goes by. I have re-visited the manual many times, and been doing loads of research online, but just trying to put it all into practice now, so any tips or advice is always appreciated.
    At the moment, I am just working with a small part of my library until I do get my head around things before moving onto the bulk of my images. I have my images stored and backed up on multiple external hard drives. I am trying to import my images into aperture from an external drive as I have been slack over the years with keywording, metadata, organising, etc etc, so I figure from what I have read that aperture may assist me with making these time consuming tasks a bit quicker and easier.
    I have put a bit of thought into my filing structure, but I am sure that with further use and understanding, this may change in the future, but I hope not. To give you an example of how I am thinking and working - I have used folders for my regular clients, eg, Ray White, and then made another level of folders within 'Ray White' for the date, and then in each 'date folder' I place my projects and name them with the address of the property I have photographed. I select and edit images from each project and place them in albums under each project. Not sure if this is the most perfect structure, but any advice is welcome.
    Keywords is always an issue with me. Over the years I have compiled a number of list for each client and each 'type' of photography. For example, real estate images have there own list, I just simply manually add keywords for specific jobs, eg the address and any specific location or features.
    Again, advice and guidance always welcome and I would appreciate how you go about these topics? And maybe you can help explain something that I have pre-emted may be a problem, and it may happen when I move onto my larger library, and I am not sure how to explain this as it may show my lack of management previously. When I worked on my PC, I used PS4, Adobe Bridge and Camera RAW pretty much exclusively. For my landscape images for example, I might have 2 or 3 variations of the one images, eg, black and white, sepia, and color for instance. But the file name remained the same, I just stored them in different folders indicating what version of the image was stored there. Now I am thinking that when I import images in Aperture, I will come across difficulties because Aperture will think the I am importing duplicate images because I will in fact have 3 images with the same file name, even though the adjustments I have made to them are different. Is this the case? Will I have to make adjustments again? Will I have to change the name of the files prior to importing? If so, any advice or tips?
    Well, I should stop there. Im sorry to bombard you with some much text, but as mentioned, I am new, and finding my feet, so thanks for your time.
