Associating files with ToDo Items

I really like the "url" field in ToDo items, especially since I do school online and I can link right to my login site. But what I really want is to link to files - for example, if my ToDo item is "Finish Assignment 3", if I could set up a shortcut that will open the Word file "Assignment3.doc." Is there any way to do this in iCal?
Thanks!

Erin, John,
you can even add an URL to the note field of both events and todos (tried it with todos just now:-)
You can enter in the note field of events or todos URLs of this form: "http://www.apple.com" or "mailto:[email protected]" or "file://localhost/Users/yourname/Desktop/file.name". The third URL should be added with an appropriate directory (John's script prepares such an URL). Enter all URLs without the quotes.
Then right-click (ctrl-click) on the text and you can choose "Open URL" from the pop-up window. The option "Create Link" creates a clickable link, but this property is lost when you leave the todo.
I posted this feature for events some days before, so it will work with 10.4.2 and iCal 2.0.x. I'm not positive with 10.3.x and iCal 1.5.x, though.

  • Cannot read version 4 fcp project and associated files with the new 5.1.2

    I cannot read my fcp 4 version projects and associated files with the new 5.1.2 fcp.
    Please help!

    I bought the Final Cut 5 studio to use for my company but I have project files from version 4, which I would like to update. My G5 is running Tiger and Final Cut recognizes the old files as Final Cut Documents (the media is already on the G5) but will not open them or their associated quicktime files. I have no problem loading version4 to export the Masters but I would like to be able to upgrade the project files so that I can use them in my addition Studio Pro applications and touch them up in Shake. Also, I don't want to go and find FCP4 on the internet because it may have other problems.
    What do you suggest?
    Can FCP4 files be updated to version 5.1.2?
    Can I get a back dated version of FCP4 through Apple?
    Thanks for your time.

  • Oracle Portal - Associated Procedures With Custom Item

    Dear Gurus,
    I need to ask a question, when i have a custom Item built using Oracle Portal 10.1.4.2.0. and we have two procedures associated with this item. I need to display this item in some place with the first procedure and in another place with the second prcoedure.
    What i want to explain is written as an example
    Custom Item Type asscoiated with two different procedures (News Custom Item Type with two different procedures "brief procedure" and "detail procedure").
    In one page i need to invoke the first procedure to display the item in Detail view and the second procedure to diplay the item in Brief view.
    How can i invoke different procedures associated with this custom item type or how can i apply different procedures on custom item type to gain different views.
    Please can help me or if you need a details i can presents more details.
    hint:
    i know something in Oracle Portal called ("Associated procedures"). and we use "related funbctions" attribute when we need to invoke a procedure to render some Custom Item Type.
    But i cannot do that and this question is very important
    Best Regards,

    I've sorted this now - silly me, I'd left a <blank line> attribute in the display properties...

  • Spotlight fails to find files with search items

    I just did a Spotlight search on
    Japanese English は
    Spotlight found more than 3500 items, but the two sample Word files I looked at didn't have は in them.
    This is really frustrating. Is there a way to ensure Spotlight only finds files with the input?

    Spotlight is notorious for its weaknesses and erratic behavior. You might try reindexing your Spotlight. Open up Spotlight in Sys Prefs, go to Privacy and drag the HD Folder there. Leave it a minute then remove it by clicking on the minus at the bottom. This will force Spotlight to reindex the drive, which may take some time.
    I mostly use EasyFind (free) instead of Spotlight.

    I could not found what is wrong.
    Two things are wrong :
    1) Lack of namespace declaration
    2) You're trying to project repeating nodes into a single row
    This should work :
    SELECT x1.ReportCreated
         , x2.*
    FROM XMLTable(
           XMLNamespaces(default 'http://www.post.ch/schemas/dfu/2006/20/Report11')

       , XMLTable(

  • Associating files with a certain app

    I don't have microsoft word, but I have NeoOffice which will open up .doc files. How do I change the system preferences so that when I click on a .doc file NeoOffice opens it rather than my expired trial version of microsoft word?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    To open all your .doc files in NeoOffice, select a .doc file in finder, do ⌘ I (that is i). In the window that appears - 'open with' select NeoOffice from the drop down list. Click the box below that says 'Change All' for 'Use this application to open all documents like this'.
    If by any chance NeoOffice isn't in the drop down list, select 'other' at the bottom and find & select NeoOffice from your Apps folder from the new Finder window that opens. Click 'Add', then select it from the dropdown list.
    Job done...

  • Associating file with a particular Application

    Hi. How can I associate a file, meaning that I want only a particular
    application can write to the file. Im creating an application that uses
    an XML file as data storage. I dont want any other applications (e.g Notepad, word) to write into it other than my application for security reasons.
    Thanks a lot!

    The following simple algorithm would help you to understand encryption / decryption. You can make your own file encryption/decryption algorithm based on this example.
            //Data to be encrypted
            String x = "Test encryption/decryption";
            //temporary string
            String y = "";
            //convert data into bytes
            byte[] b = x.getBytes();
            //encrypt
            for (int k=0; k<b.length; k++) {
                   y+=(char)(b[k]+128);
             //print encrypted value
             System.out.println ("Encrypted value: " + y);
             //See the same code can decrypt the encrypted value
             x = y;
             y = "";
             b = x.getBytes();
             for (int k=0; k<b.length; k++) {
                   y+=(char)(b[k]+128);
             //print decrypted value
             System.out.println ("Decrypted value: " + y);

  • Validation Associated with Multiple Items?

    I have six textbox items on my page. I have a function that validates whether all the six values belong to a specific criteria. If all of them pass the validation, I set a flag to 1. If any of the values does not pass the validation, I set the flag to 2. I need to display an error message inline with all the six fields if my flag is set to 2. But, as far as my understanding goes, in Apex, one validation can be associated with only 1 item. Is there any workaround?

    I am not 100% sure, but I think this is not possible. Either you have a item level validation
    for each item separately or you have a page level validation. Item validation displays the
    error inline with field if you want so. Page level validation can be associated only with one
    item but not with multiple items. So, you need six validations indeed.

  • UCM & structured data (with no associated file)

    Hi,
    I'm new to UCM.
    In my undestanding of UCM, I can store a structured data into it, only if the data has a file associated with it...I'm correct?
    As an example, in my job, I've a web form (the structured data) made up with a dynamic number of fields (representing an electric component datasheet). Web form input fields (document metadata) are the data I would like to manage with UCM. I've not a file associated with the web form.
    Can I insert those metadata in UCM and then manages revisions, execute queries (etc.) based on those items?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards.
    S.

    Yes, I think you got me right.
    The use case, basically, is that you have an HTML form and submitting it will transform it to an XML file (thus, create a file) and send it to UCM for processing. The question is, if you send the file with no metadata and have UCM (Content Categorizer) categorize it for you, or if you parse the form at front-end and send both the file and metadata already categorized from it. If you have WebCenter in the project, the latter might be the right way to go - I'd believe that there is an ADF component (it might be ADF, rather than WebCenter Framework component, actually) somewhere that can do for you what you need.
    Customizing the UCM GUI? Well, why not? However, you wrote
    I've a web form (the structured data) made up with a dynamic number of fieldsso I thought, you have your form READY somewhere, so why would you repeat the same with the means of UCM? Anyway, if you decide to do that, take a look at profiles.
    Nevertheless, choose whichever way works the best for you. I'd actually believe that getting an XML from an HTML form is a simple XSLT task, but I'm not a web programmer, myself.

  • Full-day event created from todo item with one day off

    Can anyone reproduce this?
    1) Create a todo item
    2) In week view, drag-and-drop it to create a full-day event
    Expected Results:
    A full day event is created on the day onto which I dropped the todo item.
    Actual Results:
    The event is created the THE DAY BEFORE the one onto which I dropped the todo item...!?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How photos are separated when imported is set in iPhoto's Events preference pane:
    Click to view full size
    When importing from the Finder, i.e. a folder on the hard drive, all of the photos will be in a single Event unless that checkbox that's pointed to in the screenshot is checked.
    FWIW my workflow is to upload after every shoot to a folder, name the folder to identify the occasion of the photos and import the folder into iPhoto. This gives me an Event with the same name as the folder. I also rename the photos with the international date format for the date the photos were taken: YYYY-MM-DD-001.jpg, -002.jpg, etc. This avoids duplicate file name issues that can crop up at a later date.
    I then have the camera reformat the memory card for the next shoot.

  • I need to open a file with an associated programm.

    I need to open a file with an associated programm.
    I'm looking for two solutions:
    1. for Linux/Solaris/Unix/...
    2. for Windows 95/98/Nt/2000
    For Windows I have done this with command line
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + uSavePath);
    but it doesn't work on windows2000. We need an universal solution.
    For linux
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("netscape openURL " + uSavePath);
    But may be anybody know better solution?

    You are right. For unix better solution is that my program to care about all association itself. As I undestend now it's a common solution for unix applications.
    But for windows it will be ugly enough. I've found another way for windows
    Win2000/NT: "cmd /C start filename /B"
    other Wins: start filename
    for linux I've stopped at doing this via Netscape.
    May be in future I'll make my property file.
    start filename - on Win95(may be 98/ME) returns -1 if file not assotiated with a programm, and doesn't shows openWith dialog. It solved using something like "rundll32 shell32, OpenWith filename"
    It's all for those how will solve this problem in future.
