Attached File Names Change via Entourage

When I attach a file to an e-mail, many times it gets changed when it's viewed on the other end. Not 8-dot-3, just different. Our naming system can be long due to the numbers of jobs here, so there's a lot of info that needs to be in there.
For example, this file name:
ParagonHondaEmail_CertifiedJan14.html
changes to
ParagonHondaEmail%2382DD8A.HTML
Our office runs on Microsoft servers and Exchange Server for e-mail. I'm using a Microsoft (gulp) e-mail client. Is there a way around this short of having to ZIP a tiny html attachment? I've just been told this only happens with html attachments. Curious.
Thanks for any tips.

Thanks for taking a look, Anand.

Mail attachment file name changes

when i send mail with attached file having english file name, mail receiver can receive it as correct file name.
But if having korean file name(ex: 우리나라.doc), recipient receives it as different file name(ie 우리나라.라.doc).
how can i solve this problem?

Is the reciever using windows? If so you can choose Edit > Attachments > Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments.

We have Oracle 10g application server ,i used rwlicent to send report as email and it works fine the only problem that i couldnot controll the attachment file name,
is it possible to change the file name?
any help so appritiated .

Are you using a distribution.xml for the emailed reports? If not you can pass destination=distribution.xml on your rwclient call.
distribution.xml:
<destinations>
<foreach>
<mail id="a6" to="[email protected]" subject="Personnel Reports">
    <attach format="pdf" name="attach.pdf" srcType="report" instance="this">
      <include src="mainSection"/>
    </attach>
    <attach format="rtf" name="attach.rtf" srcType="report" instance="this">
      <include src="trailerSection"/>
    </attach>
</mail>
</foreach>
</destinations>You can change the attach.rtf to be a parameter value using &<parametername> syntax. Look here for details on using the distribution.xml file.

Mail to File - how to read the attachment file name from the subject.

I need to use the SHeaderSUBJECT's value in the receiver file adapter's variable substitution.
This is a Mail to File scenario without design part where the attachment file name comes in the subject of the mail.
I see the below in the dynamicconfiguration section. How can i retrive the value from dynamicconfiguration section to the filename.
<SAP:DynamicConfiguration xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail" name="SHeaderSUBJECT">PlainAttachment.txt</SAP:Record>
</SAP:DynamicConfiguration>
Points will be rewarded.

Try to use sthg like this in a UDF :
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().getStreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail,SHeaderSUBJECT);
String value = conf.get(key);
or in a JAVA mapping :
DynamicConfiguration dynConf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey dynKey = DynamicConfigurationKey.create((http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail,SHeaderSUBJECT);
String keyValue = dynConf.get(dynKey);
param is the map object from the execute() method of your mapping ...
Hope this helps
Chris

InDesign CS4: File names change to string of numbers

Occasionally, one of our users will save an InDesign CS4 file, only to have the file name change. For example, a file originally named "#kwn25501.bcbsNM.indd" was saved as "#kwn25501.bc157-1223857848."
If the user is not aware that this has happened, things can go horribly, terribly wrong in our production environment. The "numbered" file may be missing key elements, or be somehow be corrupt in some fashion. In one case, this led us to having to reprint a job because the "numbered" file was missing a photo; somehow, that file was used (and perhaps renamed after the fact) to create the final output.
We use Macs running InDesign CS4 6.0.5. Some of our Macs are running Tiger 10.4.11, while others are running Leopard 10.5.8. The problem seems to related to the Leopard machines, although that is not 100 percent certain at this point. All of these Macs are bound to Active Directory and save files to a Windows 2003 server. I know Adobe recommends against working on files over a network, but perhaps there is an explanation for this file renaming aside from network issues.
Any light that can be shed on this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Kevin Stauffer

Check to see if maybe your original filename is the problem.
You may need that particular name for a workflow reason, but some of the symbols in the middle of your filename are generally not a good idea. Especially working off of a server, file names should be ONLY alpha-numeric characters, no symbols, no periods (except for the file type) and only underscores or dashes to separate words, no spaces.
The reason is some of those symbols get picked up as machine language and all sorts of bad can happen as a result.

Javamail API doesn't support special characters in attachment file name

Hi,
We are using Java Mail API to retrieve the attachment's file name, but it sometimes returns the file name as junk character (if the attachment contains special characters) and it is not able to return original file name for some attachments:
Our code sample :
void getFileName(Part part) {
String fname=null;
fname = part.getFileName();
Actually the problem is with the attachment file name which contains special character. For example below is the attachment file name (please find the sample attached file which is causing this issue):
Sample – 1234abc.doc
From above you could see the file name contains a special character (Sample – 1234abc.doc), i.e. The character ‘–’ is not a regular hyphen character, it’s a special character. Hence the Java mail API returns the name as below:
Sample ? 1234abc.doc
So the special character is being replaced with ‘?’ symbol. But if I store this file in local folder and try reading the file name using Java IO packages, it returns the file name without adding ‘?’ symbol.
Is there any way to handle such kind of special characters in Mail API?
Regards,
Vinodh

We dealt with this issue in a private email conversation.
JavaMail is returning the correct data for the filename. The problem is in the way the filename is being displayed.

Set Attached File name to Table Cell

Hello All,
I have a scenario where:
1. I have a dynamic table.
2.Every Row has a Button for attaching the new File.
3. When we add new Row to the Table, I want to get the attached file name in the corresponding cell. i.e Cell2 in following example.
I have tried doing it this way
The script which I'm using on Add button is
app.execMenuItem("AddFileAttachment");
var o = event.target.dataObjects;
var n = "";
DataNode.Table1.Row1.Cell2.rawValue = "";
if (o !== null) {
for (var i = 0; i < o.length; i += 1) {
n = o[this.parent.index].name;
var countVal = (DataNode.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count-1);
xfa.resolveNode("DataNode.Table1.Row1["+countVal+"].Cell2").rawValue = n;
But I'm not able to display the attached file name in Cell2 of the Table.
How can we do it?
Thanks and Regards,
Nikhil

Hello All,
I even tried doing the same using http://eslifeline.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/adding-attachments-to-pdf-form/
But I'm not able to add the file name to the table cell.
Can anyone please guide me through this?
Thanks and Regards,

Photoshop Elements 3.0 Back-Up - File Name Change

I currently run Photoshop Elements 3.0. When I back-up the catalog from within Photoshop, the file names are changed (i.e 100_2424.JPG to BO00012). All of my Premiere Elements 7 projects point to the original file name. If I ever lost that original JPG file, the back-up file would be recovered, but would not be recognized by Premeiere Elements, and thus not be found. Why does the file name change after back-up? How can I retain the original file name during back-up? Thanks.

Once you have taken the backup, all the files are renamed as you mentioned in the post. Its only when you restore the catalog through File->Restore, the files are restored by the original name.

File name changes when I sync videos

As title says, when ever I load a video into my 3Gs Iphone the file name changes to a numerical one.
How do I keep the original file name?
As it is I can only sync 1 video at a time then rename it before adding another.

Oops, Just realised I put this n the wrong forum. Just to clarify this is prerecorded video files.

Attachment File Name

I have a form that was created and is used by users on my local network. The problem is that when a user emails the form using the send by email button I get the email but the attachment file name is always the same. This creates a problem because when I go to save the attachment it wants to over write the files. I need to have the file name be unique for each email.

no, not to my knowledge

Need attachment file name which had sent or received in entire days.

Hi Friends
I need your help for getting information on exchange mailbox user who had sent or received mails along with attachment file name for entire day.
Basically I get the information of entire mails which had received or sent in all days but I am unable to get the information about attachment file name.
Please do the needful.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, Exchange has no built-in feature to get the attachment statistics report. But you can check if EWS can achieve it.
About issues related to EWS, actually, we have a dedicated support team regarding the Exchange Server Development. I recommend you ask your question on our Exchange Server Development forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems.
Thanks for your understanding.
