BMP File Upload - Fix?

Hi all
Way back when Razvan created a fix for me in the (then) Kollection KT_Image.class.php which solved the image upload and resize issue for .bmp files.
I just updated one site to ADDT and of course the file upload now is busted.
To cut a long story short - has anyone got around uploading .bmp files with the image upload functions?
I am using GD.
Owen

Dammit no - i deleted the includes folders locally and remotely like an idiot!
It was something to do with a case 6: in a switch on line 1779 (or it may have been line 179)
I've tried that but i still get the error:
Image upload error. Error resizing image: Error converting image (image resize). The file "/var/www/vhosts/slauctions.co.uk/httpdocs/auctionpics/tap_10015.jpg" is invalid. (IMG_RESIZE)

Error while uploading *.BMP file using SE78

Hi
I am trying to upload a BMAP file from presentation server onto the document server using SE78.
I am facing an error saying
"This is not a *.BMP file(they begin with <> "BM")"
Message no. TD874
I have the necessary company logo in this file and I want to put this in the sapscript.
Is there some formatting that needs to be done to the bitmap file before importing in SE78.
Please help!
Thanks
Bala

hi
Convert BMP from <b>Command prompt using ren command</b>
then follow below process
Go to transaction SE78.
Follow the path given below (on the left windows box) :-
SAPSCRIPT GRAPHICS --> STORED ON DOCUMENT SERVER --> GRAPHICS --> BMAP
Enter the name of the graphics file on the right side and Go to the menu GRAPHIC --> IMPORT
The program is RSTXLDMC, the logo needs to be save in .TIF format.
Use transaction SE78 to inmport graphics to SAP.
In the form painter, you can either include directly to the form using menu Edit->Graphic->Create or using the INCLUDE statement in a window.
To use an INCLUDE stanment, goto into the woindow script editor and use menu Include->Graphic. The include can look like this for a bitmap:
/: BITMAP MYLOGO OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMAP TYPE BMON

InDesign - need a "Fix my Corrupted File" Upload Service

There are frequently posts on the forum for people who have corrupted INDD files. This means lost work and frustrated InDesign users.
The Indesign team should offer a "Fix my File" upload link to its customers.
For each corrupted file, you will help a customer, and in the process, hopefully improve the overall stability of the product (which has issues) and benefit everyone...
Adobe: If you are afraid that you will be swamped with requests to "Fix my File", then you should probably just get out of the SW business now...

Zak Williamson wrote: "If the documents are fundamentally corrupt in some way, theres no way to repair them." and then later "As I mentioned to Casey, it's rarely possible to repair a truly corrupt document"
I definitely don't want this to sound like a flame or a whine, but I find that statement quite flabbergasting. Somebody at Adobe must understand the format of an InDesign file well enough to be able to edit out the specific element that is causing InDesign to complain about the document. I do file repair for another company (www.qsatoolworks.com) whose file format is probably more complex than an InDesign file. In over 10 years I've only had 1 or 2 files I could not repair at least to the point of recovering the textual data.
What led me to this forum is that a customer contacted me to help them recover an InDesign file. They just migrated from a PowerMac G4 with CS2 to a Mac Pro with CS3 and a few of their files won't open. ("ID may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.")
We have tried them on another Mac with CS2, and they won't open there either. "Something" must have gone wrong when the files were transferred to the new Mac.
(Naturally, the old hard drive has already been reformatted.)
Knowing what I do about file formats (but understanding that my knowledge is nearly worthless in an InDesign file) I have to assume an InDesign file contains an object map with pointers to the various objects in the document. The idea of telling the customer "your 32 page booklet is lost" when the problem could simply be a screwed up pointer is horrifying to me.
Here at QSA ToolWorks we charge $120/hour for recovery service, success or failure. We've saved lots of people from their own recklessness, and created a passionate user base in the process. We've made our product more reliable (and fixed some bugs) based on the knowledge gained through file repair; Adobe could do the same, but if they don't want to provide such a service, perhaps they should consider training third parties to do it.
I'd like to address one other comment above. Harbs wrote "I've been lead to believe that Adobe has utilities (which they use internally) to analyze and possibly fix corrupted files." Of course, I don't know whether Adobe has such utilities, but I suspect they don't. Because I can do Helix database repairs, people likewise assume I have "special utilities" that can fix corrupted files. (We've even been accused of keeping them secret so we can use file repair as a source of revenue!) I don't. What I do have is a deep understanding of the file format. Beyond that, a file editor and a couple of AppleScripts I wrote to display the object fields in a human-readable format are all the 'special' tools I have. If Adobe has any sort of tools for analyzing files, I suspect they are much the same. In other words, without extensive internal knowledge, they are worthless.

"file upload" window remains open after selecting a file. Have to "force quit" to get it to go away. How can I fix this?

Every time I try to upload a file, the "file upload" window remains open and will not go away unless I force quit Firefox. The window stays in front of all other programs and applications. Is this a problem with Firefox or with OSX? Any idea how to solve it? I've tried clearing the cache & cookies, etc. Should I reinstall Firefox or is there a simpler solution?

On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

Error "A web exception has occurred during file upload" when trying to import ESXi image file into Update Manager

I'm encountering this error and not sure how to fix, I'm quite new to vCenter so please bear with me.
I'm trying out vCenter 5.1 with Update Manager 5.1 right now. No license key has been entered and I still have 50 odd days to try it out.
2 ESXi hosts are being managed by this vCenter, and they're both running ESXi 4.0
I'm looking to use Update Manager to try to upgrade the ESXi 4.0 hosts to ESXi 5.1
I downloaded the image file VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso from VMWare website, and is looking to import it using the Update Manager so I can update the ESXi hosts, but I keep on getting the error:
File name: VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso
Failed to transfer data
Error was: A web exception has occurred during file upload
I tried importing it by using vSphere client to connect to vCenter server both remotely and locally, with firewall disabled.
I've read http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1026602
I've disabled firewall, and there is no anti-virus program on the server. I've also restarted the machine several times, to no avail, I didn't reinstall update manager because the whole Windows and VCenter installations are clean from scratch.
I logged into the vSphere Client using Active Directory credentials, and I've made all Domain Admins (which my account is a member of) part of the administrator group on the vCenter server. I can't log in using admin@System-Domain because it tells me I don't have permissions for it, I still haven't really had the chance to figure out why that is and not sure if that makes a difference.
Also, I'm fairly certain I'm using the right image file, as I've burned some DVD's used that image file to upgrade some other ESXi hosts. Unless there's a special image file I need to download?
I'm at lost on what I can do to make it work. Please advise.
Thanks.

The ISO file you mentioned is the one for vCenter Server. What you need is the "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso" (or VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201210001-838463.x86_64.iso) for the ESXi host.

I get a file upload popup when composing an email using Godaddy webmail. How can I prevent this from happening?

When I try to compose an email from Godaddy's webmail in the Firefox browser. My steps are as follows:
-Open Firefox.
-Log in to Godaddy webmail.
-I hit the compose button.
-New window pops up. This is the window that I would compose an email in.
- Right after the compose window loads, I get another window that pops up. This window says "File Upload" in the upper left corner.
If I exit that window I can then compose my email, and life is good until I want to compose another email. Then the problem repeats. I have contacted Godaddy support and the problem is not on their end. Also the problem DOES NOT happen when using another browser (Internet Explorer).

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Hi Vijay,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have gone through the notes 1535201 & now on 1606563 after your advise.
Both the notes says the fix is available on 7.01 after SP 07 and we are on SP 14 already.
Also just in case I did checked with our basis and they confirmed we are a head and we have the above notes in our release already.
Unfortunately the notes are not the solution to the investigation till date.
Thanks,
Sai

Bug? WWV_FLOW_FILES: After File upload FLOW_ID = 0

Hi all,
I'm working on a DEVenabled -Environment with APEX 3.1.2.
Problem
While redesigning an Application I have somke strange behaviour on File Upload:
The application uses a custom auth scheme.
In my application an uploaded file should be moved to a user defined BlobStorage and be deleted from APEX_FILES afterwards.
This does not work any more:
When uploading a file to APEX_FILES using the upload-element from an application no further processing is possible.
What is loaded ?
On wwv_flow_files the FLOW_ID is recorded as 0 and not as the ID of that Application Files have been loaded from.The Attribute 'created_by' contains APEX_PUBLIC_USER where the User logged in is needed.
As it is APEX INTERNAL stuff, which seems not to work as expected, i need some help.
How to fix this ?
regards
Franz

Mark,
what is the workaround for this?I don't understand what you need a workaround for. No workaround was given for any actual or perceived problems discussed here so far. I proposed that the proper steps are to upload to, copy from, and then remove from the public table.
I started having this problem, where the flow_id and security_id are now coming up as 0You started having it at a point where you were not having it previously? That isn't very clear. You are implying that flow_id was non-zero at some point, I think.
If security_group_id is 0 then this isn't the same situation as we've been discussing in this thread. Please explain exactly what you're doing and show all related code.

Problem with Multi File upload example, help needed

I got the code from the following location.....
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/multifile_upload.html
And I've got it to work to some degree except I cant get the file transfer to work when pressing, Upload.   Below is what my debugger outputs. Any thoughts on how to fix this or even what it means?
At the very bottom of this message is the upload.cfm code.......
Thanks in advance for the help

Just 2 things in my test:

Rename file extension during a file upload ??

I need to rename the extension of a file at some point during the file upload. I am not sure where to do this at.
The file needs to be renamed before it is written to the directory.
Basically, the file will come in with a .txt or .doc type. Based on a users profile, I will change the type to a non-relavent number such as 1111.
Here is my upload servlet. Can you tell me where to change the type so it will write the file with the new extension?
Thanks.

I am also need to rename a file and extension while uploadinf the file to the server. The oreilly example seems only save as the same file name and ext. I wonder if you have the ability chANGE OIT OR NOT. pLEASE LET ME KNOW

File upload to web server

I need a little help with the file upload process in flex..
I am trying to upload a file.. i had it where i would get a cgi-script url passing as the following
filename="filename"&filedata="data of the file"
then my cgi script "written in C" would read from standard in.. and write the info to a file...
now i get the following..
------------KM7Ef1gL6Ij5cH2ae0ei4Ij5GI3Ef1
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="Filename"
Botanical Garden 239.JPG
------------KM7Ef1gL6Ij5cH2ae0ei4Ij5GI3Ef1
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="Filedata"; filename="Botanical Garden 239.JPG"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
in the file i am trying to write.... Can anyone help me fix this problem? I am clueless at this point on what to do..
sample code below is what i got from trying to work this...
Thanks in advanced for anyones help..

I remember that there was a bug in the MultipartHandler of the BC4JRequestProcessor in one of the 10.1.2.x version, however I'm nit sure which one. I found the old fix we implemented back then

File upload throws an error if the file is opened

The file upload throws an Application type error if attached
file is opened and it returns the following error message: "The
MIME type of the uploaded file "application/octet-stream" was not
accepted by the server." The file type I tried to attach was MS
Word. It uploads fine if the file is closed.
Is this expected behavior? Is there fix for this - to be able
to upload a file while it is opened?

do you have an ACCEPT attribute defined in your
<cffile>? if so, does it
include "application/octet-stream" MIME type?

File Upload UI Element

Hi,
We are using the Standard Webdynpro File upload element in the screens. When the user clicks on the 'Browse' button the File Selector popuop is thrown using which the user can select the file.
Can we have on specific type of files be displayed in the 'File Selector' popup. currently ALL the files are displayed, though we have the option of '.html' files in 'Files of Type' dropdown.
How can we add custom file types say .csv file selection.
Regards,
S.Divakar

Baskaran,
The key here is "ACCEPT" attribute of file upload. Even if SAP add it later, we have to wait for MS to fix IE (make it true HTML 4.0 browser) -- IE docs even does not mention ACCEPT attribute on <input type="file" />
