Avoid creation of .part files for not started downloads

Hi,
whenever I right click on an item and do a "save link as..." FF creates a .part file on the desktop (my regular download folder) even if I don't start and cancel the download at this point (the point where the app asks under which name I want to save the file).
The .part file stays afterwards, even after I quit/restart FF.
The same thing happens when I click on any download's link since I made FF ask where I want the files to be downloaded in the preferences.
I noticed this behavior some time ago (around FF5) and I didn't bother since I clean my desktop regularly, but it's getting a bit annoying.
Double question :
- is this behavior normal ?
- shouldn't it be more logical to create the .part file only if the download is actually started?
Perhaps useful info : I use OsX10.5.8 and now on FF14

  • How to avoid creation of _(file.*), coping from tiger to pc?

    how to avoid the creation of this file for ever on a pc environment??
    I explain: as i copy any image file, it goes to a spooler directory and that begins instantly to process the file to an OPI server, separating CMYK channels, converting it to high and low resolution...
    but as this _(file) is created (same name and extension, but 0Kb and with this _ underscore in the beggining of it name), it begins to process it, and as it really does not exists as an image itself, it crashes the OPI server, forcing us to restart it...
    and then, you can imagine the mess, because we're a newspaper, with more than 100 machines logged in two cities simultaneously...
    thanks for those who replied last topic I posted about some softwares to delete it! it really worked!!
    but now, can anyone have a clue how to DON'T create this file?
    thanks in advance!

    I believe that command is supposed to stop the creation .DS_Store files on servers. Also, I think the plist file gets written to the user ~/Library/Pref, it probably ought to exist both there and in the /Library/Pref folder to really work.
    I didn't think the Save for Web option would work for your purposes. I don't believe anything will work except to strip the resource fork off the files before you send them. There is an Applescript that will do it, using a UNIX command in the script. You select a folder, run the Applescript, and it strips the resource fork off all files in the folder and creates a sub-folder called Stripped with resourceless copies of the files in the original:
    -- Strip resource fork and metadata in Tiger for one file.
    -- If a folder is selected creates an unresourced subfolder of the selected folder
    tell application "Finder"
         try
              set aFile to the selection as alias
              set aFolder to the container of aFile
         on error
              display dialog "Select a file"
              return
         end try
         set aFile to the quoted form of POSIX path of aFile
         do shell script "rsync -a " & aFile & " " & aFile & "Stripped; mv " & aFile & "Stripped " & aFile
         update aFolder
    end tell
    The "do shell script" line must be all a single line in Script Editor. It might wrap funny in the browser. Anyway, copy it, paste into Script Editor, hit compile, and save it as an application. I've only fooled with it a little tiny bit, so I'm not sure whether the rsync process would have any strange effects on complex Photoshop and EPS files or not.
    As far as I know the only way to send Mac files without resource forks to a server is to strip them from the files.

  • Exe file will not start using a Measurement studio 2013 component

    Hello,
    I use Meausrement studio 2013 with visual studio 2012 and vbnet on windows 7.
    On a new project (windows form application), i use a form and a ScatterGraph component. I compile, no errors and it works fine. 
    Now, i try to start this application on a another Windows 7 station. (The framework 4.5 is installed on its station).
    The exe file is in a directory with the natrional Instruments dll files.
    The exe file will not start, no errors.
    PS: Before, with Meausrement studio 2010 and visual studio 2010 all worked fine. 

    Hi, virgule
    It sounds like you are using the "Publish" feature in Visual Studio (a.k.a., ClickOnce) for deployment, is that correct? If so, unfortunately ClickOnce is not supported by Measurement Studio components.
    If you are looking for a good way to deploy Measurement Studio applications, I would highly recommend upgrading to Measurement Studio 2015, which ships with Measurement Studio Installer Builder. You can read more about this here: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/52669/en/
    If you cannot update to Measurement Studio 2015 and are using Visual Studio 2013, NI recommends using WiX for creating your installer. More information on WiX deployment can be found here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/764B727C9BD2C4C686257C970053D059

  • Uploading Firmware Ops Sys Adm - Error encountered: The file could not be downloaded

    Trying to upload the file using 8.6.2 of the CUCM Ops Sys Admin login.  I am using a remote SFTP.  I downloaded the firmware from the support section of the web.  File:  cmterm-7911_7906-sccp.8-5-2.cop.sgn
    The Install/upgrade process finds the file then says..  Accessing the upgrade file, please wait
    The Error Encounted: file could not be downloaded.  a
    There must be a log file somewhere.  Any ideas? 
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Well - in that case I would take the easy option :-)
    When you download the firmware, download the zip version. It may say 'for CUCM 4.x' or something similar.
    Basically unzip it, then upload each of the files in the zip to the TFTP server manually through OS admin and then restart TFTP from serviceability.
    Then you can apply it to a test phone and update the device defaults page when you are ready.
    That way you can try different versions of firmware without adding lots of non-removable references to cop.sgn files to the system's installed options list.

  • I need to find a working file for the Adobe Download assistant?

    i need to find a working file for the Adobe Download assistant?

    I was going to recommend Brother becasue they held OS9 support longer than just about anyone, but their current printers are now supported back to Mac OS10.3 to 10.4, depending on printer model.
    If you can do with a b/w laser, the recently discontinued HL5250DN is very nice and OS9 drivers are still up on Brother support site (just checked). We have that model networked at home and its happily serving five Macs plus any visitors who bring their own computer.
    This printer has been absolutely reliable and trouble-free. It has both USB and ethernet connectivity (I prefer the latter), does duplex (two-sided) printing, and 1200 dpi res. If you Google the model HL5250DN, you should turn up some of the model still in stock someplace.
    If you need color, I'm at a loss for a recommendation there.

  • Help in creation of XML file for IDOC postings

    Hi All,
    Need help if anyone has knowledge/experience in creating XML files for IDOC processing.
    We need to design an input file (in XML format) for creation of IDOCu2019s for purchase Invoices through Interface.
    We have an existing input file, which is working correctly.  We are trying to modify this existing input file for a new Tax Code (Non-deductible inverse tax liability).   This tax code is working fine for manual postings.   But, through IDOC, tax postings are not correctly triggering.
    Could you please confirm if any one has experience on this, so that I can share more details for resolving.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Srini

    Hello,
    you can use CALL TRANSFORMATION id, which will create a exact "print" of the ABAP data into the XML.
    If you need to change the structure of XML, you can alter your ABAP structure to match the requirements.
    Of course you can create your own XSLT but that is not that easy to describe and nobody will do that for you around here. If you would like to start with XSLT, you´d better start the search.

  • Reorganize/Rearrange old Project/Media files for fresh start: Newbie 101

    I’m just getting seriously again into FCP learning curve, know that organization is vital, and have set Settings/Preferences correctly for fresh start. I say “fresh” because awhile back I started but was not properly organized and was then interrupted (HD went belly up) before getting far other than working on a single project. ALL of those various files now sit in a FCP Media folder within another folder (thus at a second level) full of recovered files from the earlier crashed and meanwhile replaced external hard disk. My question is how do I regroup/divide/move this material so that it’s properly awaiting further work from the new FCP Projects folder on my local disk and the new FCP Media folder on one of my my externals. At present, to repeat and perhaps to clarify, EVERYTHING of this old material now sits within the single FCP Media folder on the second level of one of my externals. I could, of course, just trash everything and avoid the present quandary, but I’d rather keep it but place everything properly for the next time around when I can work with it correctly. I imagine some or all of the work done earlier may have been OK, though improperly placed for workflow. Thanks for any guidance. I’m hesitant because I don’t want to make any further mistakes as I learn and start again. I’m sure this is a simple situation for those who know what they’re doing.

    Sorry. Of course you're right. Think I should resend, rewrite?
    Still need some guidance on this simple problem.

  • Firefox 8 upgrade file does not start after downloading it.

    I am using Firefox 3.0.19. I tried to download the .exe for firefox 8 in order to upgrade, but when I start the exe, the only window that pops up is asking if I want to run the upgrade under this user or another. When selecting my user (I have admin rights), the window closes and nothing happens.
    Do I first need to uninstall Firefox 3 ?
    And also, will my bookmarks be kept when upgrading (of course without first uninstalling ff 3). Or which file should I backup and where should I place it back?

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You may have to start the installer as administrator via the right-click context menu: Run as Administrator
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    Hey community,
    I have a WebDynpro application in which I want to show a Archive document.
    I'm using FM 'ARCHIV_GET_TABLE' and then FM 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'.
    But I only get the error message: (see also attached)

    Attachment two shows, how the data is stored in TOA03.
    Document type is FAX .
    I tried several FM and nothing worked.
    Does anyone have an idea?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Florian,
    I don't think you need to use FM SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING.
    Just try to make of your binary output table from ARCHIV_GET_TABLE an xstring by concatenating all lines into one xstring.

  • Secure Download Manager not starting download? (Dreamspark)

    Hello,
    for the past days I've been trying to download Windows 7 64bit (German) from Dreamspark. The download worked fine until it hit 45% and just stopped. No error messages or similar appeared. ( I've downloaded Windows 8 with no problem a couple of weeks ago,
    so the problem is not my firewall / antivirus / settings..; tried different Systems.)
    I've deleted the already downloaded files and restarted it, tried to download different files and even asked two friends to try to download something, unsuccessfully.
    The problem is obviously on there end, not mine. Any ideas? I've been waiting for support for about 2 days..
    Thank you

    I have very same problem with Secure Download Manager:
    - Download stucks on 0%, there is data transfer but there is no progress
    - Download starts, then after while of downloading ( about 30 minutes) it stops (complete lack of any data transfer) and then starts again or not. If it finishes downloading i get CRC error and SDM ask to download file again
    - Download starts (or is stuck at 0%) and i get error:
    "The download cannot be completed. If a location selection is available for this  product, select another location. If no location selection is available, the download may fail to complete because no Internet connection was found, the  Internet connection
    was lost or a firewall or proxy server exists between the client station and hosting location. Please try again later."

    The error repeats when i try again, but if it eventually starts to download i get CRC error at 100% and SDM ask me to download file again.
    Notes:
    - It happens both with my antivirus and firewall enabled and disabled (Microsoft Firewall is disabled)
    - I have Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421, 9.0.11
    - I have fully enabled javascript and activeX
    - My Java and Flash plugins are up to date
    - I tried to use diffrent internet, errors happens both at my home and at university campus internet
    - I already tried to download sdx file again, delete previously downloaded files and start again, reinstall SDM and reconnect internet, reboot my computer, clear cookies and browser cache.
    - Of course my internet connection is fully working, all other programs are downloading and uploading data flawlessly, only SDM that im forced to use is having problems.
    Im from Poland and since few days (i wanted to download something again) it completly is not working. Its great to have access to so many programs but its sad i cant download anything because of that Secure Download Manager
    I used "contact" form on onthehub site (that i use to order and download SDX files) but no response, today i send mail to
    [email protected] and waiting for response. Is there any other mail i can send my problem to? Its getting really annoying i have access to so much programs but cant download any because of this Secure Download Manager :(
