Automatic name changes and file and path name limitation when storing files

Dear all I am using Airport Extrem with an attached disc and experience following:
1) Names get changed. Second part of file name gets replaced with some hex numbering
2) Get the error message from time to time that file can't be stored on the Airport Extrem attached disc and that the file name is too long.
Any idea.

I've got the same problem with seagate 750 GB drive - Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - over fast ethernet (first gen) AEBS(n)
P.S.- sometimes the folder names get corrected automaticaly, and sometimes folders get duplicated (with different corrupted hex-like name endings) and if I delete one of them, they all vanishes.

File Name and Path Length Limitations

Hi guys,
We are migrating our Novell NSS Linus File server to Window File server 2008 R2, we do have many directories and files, so of the file names length quite long, is there any tools can be used to identify these files?
thx

So you want to validate the file name length in the Novell server?
If so, I think it is better to post this question in the Novell forum.

I am having trouble editing track names and information in my Itunes library. Help center says click on selected track, click on file, click on get info, make changes, and press save. When I get to get info, it won't let me change anything. Help??

How do I edit track names and information in my I-tunes library? I followed the Help Center instructions, but it will not let me change anything. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Those symptoms usually indicate a permissions problem. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice.

My printer setting box has changed and photoshop keeps crashing when I open printer settings

My CS6 keeps crashing when I open printer settings, and the printer setting dialog window has changed

Possibly corrupt preferences.
Hold down Ctrl-alt-shift keys and start Photoshop. A dialog offering to delete the settings should appear. Answer "Yes".
cmd-alt-shift if that's a Mac.

Filename and path sizes and characters

I am failing to load 4000+ tracks to my Ipod from my XP machine using Itunes 7.50.0.20. This is an Ipod Clickwheel 20GB. I want to load 17.86GB in the now empty Ipod. However it gets so far then stops saying there is not enough space.
I wonder if am I getting the wrong message?
Some of my tracks have very long filenames/paths e.g 124 charactere filenames and 213 character paths. I also have some filenames with " (double quote) in.
Could this be the reason?
If so what characters must I avoid and what size should the filename and paths be limited to?

Filenames and paths are irrelevant. They are renamed on the iPod anyway.
20 GB is not really 20. It is a rounded number all HD manufacturers use. Plus you lose some space due to formatting and the iPod software. There is also meta data for the songs which takes some space.

How to change the default password file's name and path when the database created?

how to change the default password file's name and path when the database created?
null

Usage: orapwd file=<fname> password=<password> entries=<users>
where
file - name of password file (mand),
password - password for SYS and INTERNAL (mand),
entries - maximum number of distinct DBA and OPERs (opt),
There are no spaces around the equal-to (=) character.

How do I put the file name and path into either the header or the footer?

I need to keep track of pdf documents as their names or locations sometimes change. I need to show both file name and path, preferably in the header. I would also like it to refresh automatically when I change, say, the file name, but that's not as essential as the basic function of showing the file name and path.

You will need to do this with a text field and a Javascript that executes on open.

Acrobat registry keys to create file name and path

Hi,
I need to find a way to get my Acrobat to create a pdf with the same name as the drawing file it's created from and in the same folder as the drawing file. The folder path will vary from drawing to drawing.
I need this to happen automatically, without prompting for the file name or the destination.
I see there is a way to set a pre-defined path using registry keys but is there a way to use registry keys to set the filename and path of the drawing, please?
I would rather not use scripting as I don't really know how to do it.
Thanks,
Barnaby

I think it will use the path and name of the original file if you do not prompt for a file name. I always ask, so I am not sure.

Adding the file name and path to a document

Is there a way to automatically generate the file name and path (i.e. 'P:\ARF530\BACKGROUND\diagram.ai') to a document without having to copy and paste from the explorer window?

Hi,
So to select the directory, in the WHNE-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger write,
     :<block_name>.<path_item_name> := GET_FILE_NAME(' ', NULL, NULL, 'Choose any directory.', OPEN_FILE, FALSE);
     IF SUBSTR(:<block_name>.<path_item_name>, LENGTH(:<block_name>.<path_item_name>)) != '/' AND SUBSTR(:<block_name>.<path_item_name>, LENGTH(:<block_name>.<path_item_name>)) != '\' THEN
          :<block_name>.<path_item_name> := :<block_name>.<path_item_name> || '\';
     END IF;and to open the file, write,
DECLARE
FT_File TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
IF SUBSTR(:<block_name>.<path_item_name>, LENGTH(:<block_name>.<path_item_name>)) = '/' OR SUBSTR(:<block_name>.<path_item_name>, LENGTH(:<block_name>.<path_item_name>)) = '\' OR :<block_name>.<path_item_name> IS NULL THEN
     MESSAGE('Please Enter file name before continue');
     MESSAGE('Please Enter file name before continue');
     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
FT_File := TEXT_IO.FOPEN(:<block_name>.<path_item_name>, 'w');
END;Regards,

Target Data File Name and Path

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy a mapping that writes data into a file, but I need to dynamically set the name and the directory where I want to write this file. The only workaround I found was manually change the pl/sql generated code and change the values in the FOPEN call with a parameter, but this is no what I really want to do. Does anyone know how to tell WB not to hardcode the file name and path?
I really appreciate you time,
thanks in advance,
Matias

Carla,
Unfortunately our releases do not go that fast...
What you could do as an intermediate solution (this is what I would do) is create your mapping and load into a staging table (this can happen in set-based mode so would be fast). In a post mapping process you manually write to the flat file by making the calls to FOPEN etc. by selecting from the staging table. The post mapping process can have an input parameter that you dynamically pass (i.e. via a mapping parameter) and set the file name.
Mark.

Changing the name and path of Targets, Exec, Products, etc

I want to change the name and path of the Products, Targets, and Executables, but the text box in the 'info' window won't let me edit, and the choose buttom is grayed out.
Any ideas?

I just did this yesterday... and it's fairly confusing trying to figure out what all to change.
You can change the name of your target and executable by selecting them in the "Groups & Files" list and then selecting "File -> Rename" from the menubar.
It appears as if you can also select your Product and rename it in this way too... but (in my case) doing that didn't seem to actually rename the final app that's produced.
In order to rename the actual final application I believe you must select your target click the "Info" button... in the Info window select the "Build" tab. Scroll down until you find the "Product" entry. Double-click that and change it's name. Note that you may need to change the product name for each of your build configurations (ie Debug & Release).

How to print the report file name and path and the last mod date

Good morning,
I am trying to print on the footer of the report the report file name and path as well as the report last modification date.
Anyone would know how I can do that? I have checked the doc but found nothing.
Thks. Philippe.

Did you ever determine how to print report name and report last mod date?
Thanks

I want to *use* very long file and path names!

This is really a plea to Microsoft...
There are several threads about copying or deleting files where the path and/or file name is too long.
Most have explanations of why this problem occurs. (depending on Windows version and application, the total length [fully qualified file name; i.e. C:\this-dir\that-dir\somefile.xyz] is limited to a maximum of 260 or fewer characters). This limit
But I *WANT* to be able to use very long file names and paths!
I can understand Microsoft keeping this limit - even while allowing UNICODE paths and file names up to 32k characters - because many existing tools will be unable to handle the longer names. This would probably yield a lot of questions/flames about
them "breaking the software I've used for years."
But it would be possible to have a system setting to optionally allow the long names. Since I'd have to manually set it, I'd know I'm potentially breaking existing software.
In my case, I'm backing up various file directories where some files are very long. With the server-side additional paths (e.g., client-name\project-name\backup-date\...") I occasionally hit files that can't be copied. Renaming is not suitable;
sometimes names have to match other file names.
I can zip them, create iso files, use a backup program that creates a blob, put them in a source-control system, etc - but I really don't *want* to do that; it's very convenient to have a direct copy of the directories. Each of these 'solutions' either
requires extra work (which could be scripted, so ok...) or doesn't work with the work-flow for some reason.
Microsoft, *please* fix this in Windows 8! (if not before...) This limit has existed for far too long!
And readers - please don't just repeat what's in the other threads (rename/use subst/map directory/etc) or flame without useful information. Thanks!

I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

In LSMW while executing the specify file step logical file name and path.

Hi ,
In LSMW , while executing the specify file step, logical file name and path is mandatory field to entry, but in some of other LSMW objects, these fields are not mandatory one, i want to know is it possible for me to do hide the logical file name and path field in specify file step.
thanks
Md nisar

Hi,
For some Transactions while executing the Specify file step Logical File and Logical Path are mandatory.
In this case Converted file will be stored in the application server. According to the specified Logical File and Logical path.
Hope this will help you....
