"av" file extension added to files when FC Pro locks up during capture

I just started having capture problems while using Final Cut Pro. I am capturing video using an AJA Kona LSe capture card. My scratch disk is my second internal hard drive (not the one with the operating system/applications). I have been capturing with this computer for a few months and now I'm getting this error about every other time I try to capture video. I read Stephen Lacey's post with the same problem, but I'm not getting any error messages like he was. Final Cut Pro appears to lock up. The ESC button doesn't stop the capture and I have to do a Force Quit to get out of Final Cut Pro.
I would truly appreciate any help with this. Thanks!

What is happening - when you first start capturing, the Mac OS is instructed by FCP to allocate disk space for the capture. If you have not set capture limits in the preferences, it allocates almost all the hard disk, and gives it a temporary file extension of .av. When the capture successfully completes, with the video recorded to some of that space, the system renames the space used by the video to the capture file name, typically filename.mov. It then frees up the unused space in the .av file.
If you fail to complete the capture successfully, by force quitting FCP, the end cleanup never takes place, and the .av file remains filling up the disk. If you try the capture again, it will fail due to no free disk space. To recover, delete the .av file from the finder, and restart FCP. Better yet, reboot and restart FCP.

Finder de-selects files when they are locked/unlocked

I have several encrypted disk images that I use to store various personal info on: financial data, logins/passwords, health info, etc.
Whenever I update the content on any of them I make a copy of the .dmg file, then rename the copy with the date and time in the filename. For example, if I have a test.dmg file, when I update content in it, I would make a copy and rename the copy like test_201401051459.dmg. That way I have a series of backups of each iteration of the encrypted disk image file. (I've had encrypted disk image files get corrupted in the past, so this is a simple way to make sure I can open at least one of the previous backup files if necessary.) I also "lock" each dated copy of the .dmg file to prevent accidental deletion.
At the end of each month I move all of the dated backup .dmg files to an "_Old Data" folder. In order to do that, I select all the .dmg files I want to move into the subfolder, then right-click (or ctrl-click) on them and -- continuing to hold the Ctrl key down -- I click on "Get Summary Info" to open a single "Get Info" dialog for all of the files so I can unlock them before I move them (if I don't unlock them, then Finder will make copies instead of moving them). As soon as I de-select/uncheck the "Locked" option in the "Multiple Item Info" dialog, Finder de-selects all of the selected files in the Finder window and also narrows the column they're displayed in (I always use Column View in Finder windows). This forces me to manually re-widen the column so I can see the entire file names, and manually re-select all of the files so I can move them into the sub-folder.
This is changed behavior from Snow Leopard (from which I upgraded to Yosemite). In Snow Leopard, Finder left things alone. It didn't decide all on its own that files should be de-selected and that column widths should be narrowed to what it thinks is right. This turns a relatively simple operation into an unnecessarily-more-complex operation. Pure PITA.

Windows 7 Professional PC hangs at "Loading files" when trying to boot with custom capture image on Windows Deployment Services.

I have created a custom capture image in WDS. Now when I try to boot my reference PC into this image the PC hangs at "Loading files". The reference PC is running Windows 7 and I am using Windows Server 2012 Standard on my server.
I have followed the instructions on how to create the custom capture image on the server to a fault. I PXE boot the PC and it shows the capture images after I hit F12. The problem is that it starts to boot and then hangs about 2/3 way through the progress
bar.
Any help would be appreciated.

Why does a downloaded epub file get the flv extension added to the filename?

I created an ePub file that works fine. I used the Creative Cloud version of inDesign on my MacBook Pro with OS 10.7.
I emailed to someone to view. The recipient was going to download the ePub to her Mac and sync with her iPad.
She was using Safari and gmail. She received the email with the attachment. When she clicked download in the email next to the attachment, it downloaded but added the .flv extension to the file.
With this extension, the file could not be added to the iTunes library. Removing the .flv so that the filename was restored to the original with the .epub extension, all worked just fine.
I set all .epub files to be opened by Adobe Digital Editions on my computer.
I replicated the same situation on my Mac with Safari and gmail. Then, I tried with my yahoo email account. Same situation, file downloads but gets .flv extension added. Guess I can't blame gmail.
Tried with Chrome and file downloaded with correct name, no extra extension.
Tried with Entourage and file save with .epub, no extra extension.
Have not yet tried this on a windows machine but will do so in a bit and report back with results.
How can I prevent the extra extension?
Thanks,
Alex

Just checked this on a Windows 8 laptop.
Went to gmail. Opened the message and downloaded the ePub file. It downloaded just exactly as expected. No change to the file name.
I zipped up a folder with the ePub file inside and tried that zip file. I emailed the zip file to my gmail account and then downloaded the zip file and unzipped it. The ePub file came through the process with no alteration to its name.
As long as I send the ePub inside a zip, I don't seem to have a problem.
I would still like to know how to prevent the change in name when I email just the ePub file, though.
Thanks,
Alex

Double Extension Added to Downloaded Files

I am trying to download a QIF file for Quicken and on completion of download the extension appears at download.qif.txt. When I remove the .txt extension leaving just the .qif extension the file type changes to quicktime. Checking Quicktime I do not see QIF as a type of file extension approved. Any suggestions on how to get to work. I can download other QIF files but this one site is causing issues. I tried down loading to a PC and emailing the file however the files shows up as text in the email and not as an attachment. I tried installing the 10.4.7 combo suggested in a previous post but no luck.
Regards.

Visual Studio opening files when dragged and dropped in WPF app debugging session

I'm working on a WPF app (using VS2013 CE) which is intended to manage media files (TV Shows, movies, etc) and as part of this I am enabling the user to drag and drop media files on to the running app (by adding AllowDrop="True" and PreviewDragEnter="Window_PreviewDragEnter"
to my Window definition).
The problem I have is that when I drag files onto the app in a debugging session Visual Studio then opens the file(s) when I stop debugging... this is seriously annoying as when I am testing with large media files (> 1GB) it just locks up VS for minutes
at a time while it tries to open the file or files. When I run the app outside the debugger this does not happen - it's only when I'm in a VS debugging session. The only way I can stop this happening is to kill VS completely from Task Manager then restart
it - this is also very annoying but often I need to do this as it will freeze up for 5-10 minutes while it insists on loading the files in VS.
I understand the app, whilst debugging, is running in the context of VS but why does VS then have to try to open the files when debugging is finished? I have looked through the options but can't see anything to switch this off and no amount of searching
has turned up anything - can anyone put me out of my misery with a solution to this annoying issue?

Hello nzmike,
Does Visual Studio behaves like the following image shows and just hangs when opening your media file?
Do you have any other computer which installs Visual Studio? Can you reproduce this on it?
In order to troubleshoot this issue I think we need to locate the root reason of your issue. The problem can related to the following:
1. Your project is corrupt and VS then trys to load that file when debug finished.
2. Your VS is corrupt and caused this problem.
So please do something below:
1. Try clean and rebuild your project.
2. Switch to some other PCs and use VS and your project there, check if the problem can be reproduced.
3. You can backup your VS setting and try some commands: devenv /resetsettings and devenv /resetuserdata
Details about VS command:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xee0c8y7.aspx
And based on th research of the above second step, if you can reproduce this issue on more than one PC, the problem is pending on your project and I need you to share a simple sample which can reproduce this issue. We will need to investigate the project
in detail.
Best regards,
Barry

How to change the default save encoding of the dvm files when create dvm???

When I creating a DVM(domain-value mapping) in Chinese on the ESB control and confirm it, then restarted the SOA service, the DVM that I created in Chinese disappeared from ESB control. All the maps(both English and Chinese ) are in DVM Repository.
After I updated the encoding from ‘UTF-8’ to ‘GB2312’ in the three files below, and restarted the SOA service, the DVM in Chinese appeared on ESB control.
But when I adding the second row in Chinese and save it, then restart the SOA service, the DVM in Chinese disappeared from ESB Control once again. Because the encoding in the three files below is updated from ‘GB2312’ to ‘UTF-8’ .
Files:
C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\integration\esb\oraesb\artifacts\store\metadata\files\dvm.def.xml
C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\integration\esb\oraesb\artifacts\store\metadata\files\dvm\Chinese.xml.def.xml

I have the same problem. When I updated to Mavericks now the bookmarks bar font is huge. I liked it the way it was before. I liked the smaller font. Also wish I could change the color of the sidebar and font/folders too.
I tried to see in preferences if there was anyway to change it, but I don't see anything there.

Can you restore that JSON backup in a new profile?
Did you make sure that it is really a JSON backup and that there is no missing or hidden other file extension?
A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded"
A HTML backup starts with: <!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
You can try if you can restore that JSON backup in a new profile.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Please for administration of this support site, make possibility to quote someone's answer, on this way is dificult to answer somebody who wrote some suggestion!
No, i can't restore JSON backup in new profile, even on fresh installed OS XP SP3, with fresh installation of latest version of firefox!
MAN I TOLD YOU 10X IT'S 200 % JSON BACKUP FILE!!! I'M NOT IN IT FROM YESTERDAY, I WORK IN IT 12 YEARS!!!
I tried restoring json backup in new profile, but nothing, i couldn't restore, cause that stupid error from screen shot which i posted again appears !
Man i'm not totally noob i repeat 2nd time here, and normally that i know to create new profile, and that i tried that, but that didn't help!
I can't believe that FIREFOX has not good support team, and doesn't care for yours users, this will not give me more reason to use in future firefox
like borwser, if i don't have good support, and when i have problem like this, to loose all my very important bookmarks and passwords on them, and
firefox support won't to help me to solve my problem!
If somebody from firefox support team read this, i can give you Remote desktop access to my computer to try solve this problem, like other serious company
like HP, Dell , etc. give remote desktop support to their users!
Corel are you from firefox support team? Please don't write same suggestions, cause i know to read, and i understand well if you write once some suggestion!

Prompt To Download File when not a pdf or doc

Different files are uploaded through one of my applications. The problem is when clients want to view the file, if its not a .pdf or .doc, .docx, its not rendered through the browser and throws an error.
Is there a way I could force a download prompt to save the file when the file extension is not a pdf or doc?
As of now they are viewing the file through <a class="note" href="#qry.drawing#" target="_blank">View</a>
Thanks

Most probably reason the file is got corrupt due to virus. For this I would like to suggest you a third party tool which will help you to recover your corrupted PDF file data and it will export into a fresh PDF file. Tool Name:

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The Ask toolbar can be installed as part of Foxit.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an horizontal format.

How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an horizontal format.

Thanks for the quick reply. I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging. For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option. Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar. Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet. Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

How can i include css in html file when exported

I want the CSS should be included in the html file when exported, how is that posable?

Muse follows its own structure and keeps HTML, CSS and JS code in separate files as and when possible. If you want all that code to be merged into the HTML file itself, then there is no option to force Muse to do that. You can however, add your own CSS code into the HTML page by adding the CSS using either the Insert HTML option or using the HTML for <head> option in Page Properties > Metadata.

Cannot create a file when that file already exists, but should overwrite

Hi,
I need the same file name which is at Sender side and when it reaches to Receiver directory without timestamp.
for eg., Sender side : Yeswanth.txt
and also receiver side : Yeswanth.txt
but, here it should overwrite the existing file (because, the sender side file name is always constant) at receiver directory when the job schedules for each time.
Processing parameters i has given on Receiver side:
File Construction Mode : Create
put file : Use Temporary File
and I enabled the Adapter Specific Message Attributes at Sender side and Receiver side.
Error getting receiver side at communication channel :
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException:
Yeswanth.txt: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. : com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550
Yeswanth.txt: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
Reward points for useful answers.
Regards,
Yeswanth.

Hi Yeswanth
Then you can try with a "Add Counter". This will create new file each time with the same name but a counter will be added to the file name at the end specifying the number of times it is created.
You can also the specify the format to create the counter once select this option u can correspondingly fill the Format and step fields.
Will this be fine.

How to include external files when building installer for a standalone executable?

Hi,
I was trying to build a stand alone executable from my Labview project and I was able to do it successfully. Now I would like to include a few external .txt files in the installer. Those .txt files have parameters/constants that will be used by the program, and my program needs to load/read them when running. For now I have to manually copy/paste them into the target machine, but I really hope the installer can do it automatically. I see there is a "data" folder in the installer, and that's where I hope those .txt files can be added into.
How can I do it? Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Norbert,
I could not find "Add file" when right clicking the project. See attached image please. Under "Project" I do have a "Add to project" but there is no option for external files. I did not find "Source" location either.
What did i do wrong? Is there any version requirement here? I have a 2010 base version. Thanks for your help.

Can't find my iweb domain file when searching for it in iweb seo tool

I am trying to get my iweb website recognized by Google. Can't seem to get the google html code to work in html snippet. So am now trying to use the iweb seo tool but can't find my iweb domain file when searching for it in iweb seo tool. My file is in user/library/applicationsupport/iweb/name.sites2
It shows in the folder but is not active, so I can't choose it.

The SEO ftp client is not what I'd recommend using. Once you add the metadata to a local copy of the files use a 3rd party ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload the files. Much more reliable.
Google does not use keywords for it's searches although other search engines do. Create a test page on your site (leave it out of the navbar) and try adding Google Analytics to it with Wyodor's instructions. If you get it to work then all you need to do is copy and paste the HTML snippet from the test page into your site pages.
For information on visitors to your site you can also use StatCounter. It records the number of visitors and a lot more: where they are from, what browser used, which page visited and what site/page then came from for just a few. SC is easy to add to the pages as you get the code for your account, put it in an HTML snippet add the snippet to each page. Old Toad's Tutorial #13 - Adding a StatCounter as an HTML Snippet describes how to do it.
Again use a test page or a separate test site to work out the details before adding to your site pages.
