Automatically exclude all folders with a specific  name?

I am using Apple's Logic audio program (but this could apply to anything):
Every Logic project creates a folder named Freeze Files which is usually very large
and not necessary (for me) to back up. So I'd like to tell TM to hide every instance of any folder named "Freeze Files", rather than hiding each one individually.
Possible?
Thanks.

there is certainly nothing built in that's even remotely capable of this. it might be possible to script something but it could be pretty tricky. unless you are fairly familiar with shell and/or apple scripting you should probably forget it. Also, it's not clear exactly what you want. do you want this to be a one time operation or do you want it to automatically apply to all future "Freeze Files" folders?
Thanks.

  • Search if a layersets with a specific name exist and execute a function if it is the case

    Hello,
    How can i write a script that search if a layersets with a specific name exist and execute a function if it is the case?
    Some examples?
    Many thanks.
    Regards.

    This would check for a LayerSet if a name with DOM code – so it’s fairly slow.
    var check = checkForLayersetNamed(app.activeDocument, false, "thisName");
    alert (check);
    ////// function collect all layers //////
    function checkForLayersetNamed (theParent, theCheck, theName) {
    /* if (!allLayers) {var allLayers = new Array}
      else {};*/
      for (var m = theParent.layers.length - 1; m >= 0;m--) {
      var theLayer = theParent.layers[m];
    // apply the function to layersets;
      if (theLayer.typename == "ArtLayer") {
    // allLayers.push(theLayer)
      else {
      if (theLayer.name == theName) {theCheck = true};
      theCheck = (checkForLayersetNamed(theLayer, theCheck, theName))
    // allLayers.push(theLayer);
      return theCheck
    Below is AM code Paul Riggott posted some time ago in connection with linking Layer Masks.
    Re: Automatically re-link layer masks
    You could add a check for whether the Layer is a LayerSet, but if the name is the sole distinguishing feature this might work as a basis for your operations.
    app.bringToFront();
    main();
    function main(){
    if(!documents.length) return;
    linkLayers();
    function linkLayers(){
       var ref = new ActionReference();
       ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Dcmn'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
       var count = executeActionGet(ref).getInteger(charIDToTypeID('NmbL')) +1;
       var Names=[];
    try{
        activeDocument.backgroundLayer;
    var i = 0; }catch(e){ var i = 1; };
       for(i;i<count;i++){
           if(i == 0) continue;
            ref = new ActionReference();
            ref.putIndex( charIDToTypeID( 'Lyr ' ), i );
            var desc = executeActionGet(ref);

  • Sharing two folders with the same name

    Hi all.
    I have two folders with the same name and I would like to be able to share these under different share names. Problem is, this doesn't seem to be possible.
    For instance, try doing this in File Sharing under Server Preferences:
    * Click +, add /Data/Media
    * Edit permissions on "Media" to permit guest access
    * Click +, add /Volumes/Drobo/Media
    * Edit permissions on "Media" (make sure you click the right one!) to permit guess access.
    This appears on the surface to work, but what it has actually done is to delete the share for /Data/Media. If you exit the File Sharing pane and go back into it again, it will be gone.
    Server Admin has the ability to rename a share's name from AFP,SMB,FTP,etc. but this doesn't appear to help either -- I tried adding the second media first, renaming its shared name to Media2 over in Server Admin, and then adding the first. Server Preferences just deletes the second one.
    Such a basic thing as being able to rename the share from Server Preferences would appear to be enough to get around this, but since Apple didn't make it possible, I have no idea how to proceed.
    Does anyone else have this working, and how did you do it?

    The best way to solve this, would be make sure you use database paraneter GLOBAL_NAME, to change your database from lets say orcl1 to orcl1.mycorpdomain.com, by this you can make sure each database actualy has a different name. Your other database then could be named orcl1.example.com.
    When chaning the display name in EM you might face other issues later on when for instance trying to run a restore using EM for one of these databases.

  • Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and...

    Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and then select them all and change the permissions on just those folders .i.e. Search for the budget folders in all client folders and lock them down to just the project managers. Without having to go to each folder and apply the permissions.

  • Unreliable - Deleting multiple files/folders with the same name?

    I have recently found when trying to delete folders with the same name it is unreliable, is there a better way, ie termin that would work for the following...
    I have 1000's folders with sub-folders to delete...
    Please see screenshot each folder is identical apart from 'copy #' at the end of the folder
    1. using search in top level folder toobar for "instructions"
    2. 647 results are retuned
    3. Select all and [cmd] [del]
    4. Repeat step 1 but some folders are still are found.
    Any ideas ?

    Go ahead and doubt if it makes you feel superior.
    For others:
    If your pom has this:
    <dependency>
                   <groupId>javax.faces</groupId>

  • I notice that in the new update to Firefox if I have two bookmark folders with the same name Firefox will end up deleting one of them.

    Both of these problems with the bookmarks started occurring after I installed the latest update to Firefox.
    I frequently have bookmark folders of the same name under the older version of Firefox and it has never been a problem before. It is now, and I notice that after I've created two folders with the same name Firefox will end up deleting one of the folders, almost always the older of the two folders (the one created first, chronologically).
    I have also noticed that with the new update Firefox will occasionally fail to open all bookmarks in Tabs if I've asked it to do so. I can simply close Firefox and reopen the program and it will work again, but I don't know why this bug is occuring in the first place.

    You are using two IP address ranges.. which results in the printer being cut off from the other network..
    Why do you have two networks?? It is always better in home situations to run one network.
    If you have work setup with an enterprise level router you can setup routes between the two networks.. this is not possible on domestic level apple routers.

  • Bridge copy and paste folders with the same name question

    I just copied and pasted a folder named, as an example, "concerts" with a bunch of pictures to another drive with a folder with the same name.
    I choosed "substitute" when prompted and all the pics existing in old "concerts" folder have been deleted and replaced with just the new ones.
    So pasting a folder can't add files to the folder with the same name, but it completely replaces it. The other prompted option creates a "concerts (1)" new folder.
    Luckyly before moving files I always do a backup, so it's not a big issue, but I'm amazed by such behaviour. Also deleted pictures don't appear in the recycle bin. They are completely lost!

    I choosed "substitute" when prompted and all the pics existing in old "concerts" folder have been deleted and replaced with just the new ones.
    Are you on Windows? don't know the options you tell, I have three options (Mac) called: 'cancel', 'replace' and 'auto resolve' when dealing with one file and for multiple files it adds 'skip' to the list and has the option for 'apply all'
    Replace does what it says, it replaces files and folders with the same name, auto resolve adds a (1) to the files or other number if more with same name are added.
    So pasting a folder can't add files to the folder with the same name, but it completely replaces it. The other prompted option creates a "concerts (1)" new folder.
    This is normal and wished behavior, you get a warning if names are the same and a choice to either overwrite them or add them with a new (different) filename.

    Heard that before but can't replicate this, they always appear in the trash on my Mac.

  • Is it possible to have Thunderbird send an e-mail automatically when a message with a specific subject is received?

    Is it possible to have Thunderbird send an e-mail automatically when a message with a specific subject is received?
    I basically want to create a rule that will send an automatically crafted form e-mail to the sender when I receive an e-mail with the subject line "New Swimmer". Is this possible?

  • Trying to find all files or folders with a specific owner recursively

    I'm trying to find any file with a specific owner, let's call that owner "domain\account1" I've placed 2 files and a folder at various levels in a directory structure and when I run the following code from the folder those files (or folder) exist
    in, it works fine:
    gci | Select fullname,@{n='Owner';e={(Get-Acl $_).Owner}} | Where {$_.Owner -eq 'DOMAIN\account1'}
    But when I try to go to a common root of those files (and folder) and add -recurse to the gci, it shows only the folder. Is there something secret/hidden about gci that I need it to force-show, or am I doing something else wrong?
    Thanks

    No.  They look roughly equivalent but the expression I used may be more flexible.  You also can shorten yours more like thsi:
    Get-ChildItemC:\Temp -Rec
    | Get-ACL 
    | ?
    {$_.Owner
    -eq 'Domain\Admin'}
    No need to wrap it in the pipeline.
    This is exactly what mine is but I added a select with a calcculated property.

  • Pse 7 cannot find all photos with a specific tag

    I keep my photos in a series of 'nested' subfolders by year and by topic and I have found that PSE7 will only find the first photo with a specific tag, for instance searching for one of our dogs by tag name will find the first time we saved a photo of her. It will not find her in the subsequent 7 years of folders/photos.  It is v irritating and I thought that I could do this search previously. Help please.  Thanks.

    Thanks, but this didn't work; PSE still finds the first photo with the specific search tag.

  • Reference all tables with the same name

    If I have multiple worksheets that each have an identically structured table "Test", is it possible to create a formula in a cell of another worksheet that references the same range of cells in every table "Test"? So far I haven't found a way to reference cells in a table with an ambiguous name without having to prepend the worksheet name to the reference like so: 'Worksheet 1' :: Test :: B3:C4. What I want to be able to do is say Test :: B3:C4 and have the formula reference B3:C4 in all "Test" tables.
    Thanks!

    You've picked the correct descriptive term. Such a reference would indeed be "ambiguous".
    You might be able to reference a set of disconnected ranges of cells, but each range would have to be explicitly described.
    You might be able to collect the values in the cells into a single array in a single table, then reference that array in your formula.

  • Copy folders with the same name deletes contents of original folder

    When backing up some iTunes songs manually I selected the folders I wanted to copy and copied them, then I pasted them into my backup folder.
    I got the warning windows about folders having the same name, I could only cancel or replace. So I clicked replace. Then when I checked inside one of the destination folders the original contents of the folder has been erased and only the new files are left.
    Has the way Snow Leopard deals with copying folders changed? As I am sure this did not happen before I upgraded.
    I tried it on the command line with 'cp -aR' and everything worked as expected, but it does not warn that the folder already exists.
    How do I get 'cp -aR' functionality out of finder?

    After alot more searching it seems mac OS X has always done this, but I never noticed it before.
    I can copy my backups over the network with:
    cp -aR Music/source_folder /Volumes/server_name/Music/
    ditto can be used as well.
