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!

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 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>
               <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
               <version>${jsf.version}</version>

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.

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.

Dng and tif file with the same name, in the same Lightroom folder

If I have both a dng and tif file with the same name, in the same Lightroom folder, I can only see and access one of them. Is there a setting I can change in order to see both of them?

If you can only see one of them, which one can you see?
Was the DNG and the TIF imported at the same time?
How are you trying to "access" the files?
The more details you can provide, the more likely it is that someone will be able to help you.

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.

Bug with workflow that creates a folder and sub folder with the same name.

Hi,
I've found a possible bug in SharePoint 2010 workflows. I only have access to SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2010 over my companies intranet, afaik I don't have access to to logs or anything server side so sorry for the any missing information.
I had some problems with a workflow in one list that needed to create some folders and subfolders in a second list. The production version did a lot more so I setup a test area with 1 list and a workflow that only does the folder creation part and have managed
to consistently replicate this problem.
The test list has two columns, [title] and [sub folder title]
The workflow starts by getting the values for [title] and [sub folder title] into variables.
It then creates a folder in the same list with the same name as [title], and then creates a sub folder under this with the name from [sub folder title]
So the resulting structure would be:
Test List:-
List item with fields [title] and [sub folder title]
[folder: title]:-
[folder: sub folder title]
If both folder names are different (e.g Folder1 and Folder2) then it works perfectly fine, if both folder names are the same (regardless of character case, e.g. samefolderName and sameFolderName) then the workflow fails.
As part of the test i made the first action of the workflow to log the message "Workflow Started" to the history list. When the workflow fail there's nothing logged in the history list other than the error: "The workflow could not update the
item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information."
Creating a sub folder with the same name as it's parent works fine manually but for some reason a workflow can't seem to do it in one action.
As there's no history list entries before the error it looks like the workflow is just failing to start but if i do something like add an if statement to check if [title] and [sub folder title] are the same, and only create the subfolder when they are not
then it runs fine doing what it's set to.
The function of the workflow in our office was for convenience so were just working without it. Just wanted to post to see if anyone else has come across this/could try to replicate or explain this and see if it's a SharePoint bug or something specific
to our setup.
thanks,
Martin

not sure about the specifics of your workflow, but if you're querying the list for the folders... keep in mind that a list lookup will only ever bring back ONE item... even if there are several items that meet the filter criteria... example: if i search
a list for an item assigned to "john doe", there may be 15 tasks that meet the criteria, and it'll only grab one... this is why SP Designer WARNS you when your list lookup may exhibit this behavior.

Is it possible to have a calendar and reminder list with the same name?

I migrated from MobileMe to iCloud on the first day. MobileMe was then set up with my MacBook and so in iCal i saw my calendar events duplicated. I didn't like this so I tried deleting the MobileMe calendars first, then realised I couldn't delete all of them, it seemed that I must have one calendar. I then removed the the account setting (which would have been the smarter thing to do). A few hours later I notice that the calendars I deleted from MobileMe have been deleted from iCloud, as well as associated task/reminder lists. Luckily for me I made a backup before moving to iCloud so I've managed to recover my calendars.
My question is: Can I make a calendar and reminder list by the same name?
After the migration I did have some calendars and reminder lists by the same name eg. Work, Home.

T-Storm, I'm having the same annoying delay on my X-Fi Extreme Gamer card, it's driving me nuts trying to fix it.
I noticed that if I un-tick the Dolbly Digital Li've in the console it goes away, along with the 5. sound, %$*&^^&%!
Is it he same with you? Try un-ticking the DDL while playing something and see if it stops the delay or not. At least it will see if the problem is the card, the connection, the optical cable, or DDL itself.
Dolby Digital Li've works in real-time so I fear that is causing the delay rather then a bad cable or connection. But I don't know if others are getting the same delay or not, if it is DDL then everyone should be getting it.
But, if they are not trying to play a digital signal at the same time as a anolog one they might not notice it.

Two computers and two users with the same name. Can't copy files anymore...

Hi all, after a user migration to my new iMac I had to make a change of the shortname. I knew it was not a good idea but had no choice otherwise I had to wait other 3 hours to migrate data again...
Anyway, I managed to change my shortname with success, but one strange thing happened afterwards... I have two macs networked, both have an admin user with the same shortname/real name, 'gillo' (I followed the procedure in one of these two, the Intel iMac. The other, a Powerbook, was not modified).
While previously I had no problems in copying files from the user 'gillo' on the Powerbook TO the user 'gillo' on the iMac, after the shortname change I'm not anymore able to do it. The error I get is:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items"
Doesn't matter where I put the files, Desktop, Documents, even the Drop Box, I always get the same error.
I went through some checks and this is the 'log':
- The files/folders in the iMac 'gillo' directory are not locked.
- The files can be copied without troubles to the dirs of another admin user
- Permissions are the same as the other admin user and owner/group are the correct ones.
- Both Macs have 10.4.6
- The 'gillo' user on the iMac can copy files FROM the user 'gillo' on the Powerbook.
- I repaired permissions and the hard disk booting from the install DVD.
- I tried to change permissions of the directories (such as Desktop) on the iMac 'gillo' user allowing everybody to read/write. Also a no go.
Anybody went through this already? Or maybe something similar not directly related to the short name change?

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

Any way to import a copy of a photo with the same name without renaming?

I organize all my photos in my picture folder on my desktop, and I sometimes copy and paste the same photo into different folders so that I can use them for different purposes without having to hunt them down. I've never had to rename them as long as I've put them into a new folder, but when I imported my picture files into Lightroom 3, it only took the first copy of any picture and left out the other copies in subsequent folders. Is there any way to fool Lightroom into importing them without having to go back and rename all of them?
Thanks so much for any help!

Thanks for the tip . . . I found the checkbox and it worked just fine!
The reason I store multiple copies of the same photo is because I edit photos for my daughter's online business. I always keep an original folder that does not get touched, then make copies of the photos I am going to edit for her in a seperate folder so that I know exactly which ones I'm working with (I don't edit ALL the photos). Once I make my edits, I store the edits in her business file (since she does not need any of the others) and delete the copies; therefore leaving my originals untouched. I was trying to pull some "edits in progress" into LR to throw a preset on them, and it wouldn't allow me to because it had already downloaded the original in a previous folder. Maybe not the best way to organize photos, but it seems to have worked so far. Especially with the volume of photos I deal with for my daughter's business as well as my personal stuff. Another reason I make copies of the same photo is when I'm downloading photos to Facebook. They are not always contained in the same folder, so I make a copy of the photos I want for FB then just edit and download that folder. When I'm done, I delete it after moving the edits. But there may come a time I'll want to pull that folder into LR just to work on those selected photos. Hence the need for duplicates.
I just got LR3 yesterday, and my instructional book should arrive today. I plan on reading it and hopefully it will provide a better way to organize my folders if you say this is not a good idea. I have no idea what "virtual" folders are, but definitely plan on looking in to it. Thanks so much for your advice!

If i add two officially released and named albums with the same name, they keep compiling as one album. How to separate the tracks by artist??

I need immediate help. So here's the situation: Okay so I added an RHCP (Red Hot Chili Peppers) album that is named Greatest Hits on my iPod and I also added an The Offspring album also named Greatest Hits to my iPod and both tracks of the albums group as one. Any help please? Please please reply asap thanks in advance

This is a known bug, and you will see it in iTunes if you sort your library by Album name.
The workaround is as Mitch indicated, change one of the album names. However, you can simply append a space at the end of one of the albums so that it "looks" the same as the other, but will be treated differently because of the space.

Updating vs. Deleting Folder files with the same name

Hello all,
Bear with me as I try to explain this.
First off, I'm a long time Windows user who just happily converted to Mac. I'm loving my mac so far, but I've run into a snag that I hope to get clarification on.
Let me set up a scenario on how this works with Windows.
Let's say I have two folders/root directories labeled as today's date "20100729" with image files in them. Each folder has different picture file names. In other words, the files in each of folders are different. The only thing that is the same is the Folder/Directory name, which in this case is "20100729".
So, in a windows environment let's say that each of these folders (with the same name) are located on 2 hard drives (A & B). If I take the folder from drive "A" and drop it in drive "B", windows seamlessly combines the files from both folders into one.
On the flip side, when doing the same thing on my Mac, the entire folder contents from drive B gets replaced from drive A, even though the file names are all different. Which is very annoying.
If you understand what I'm saying and know of a way for this to work the "Windows" way please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help. Let me know if you need further clarification.
Cheers,
- Jeff

JTree Nodes with the same name

What do I have to do to get the JTree to render nodes with the same name? These Nodes user objects are completely different object types and each has a unique hashcode.
+ Root Node
+-- node1 (this is a folder)
+-- node1 (this is a file)
The problem is I have n folders in my tree but if a parent folder contains a folder and a file with the same name then no other subfolders are displayed.
The nodes exist in memory because I enumerate the tree and display its contents in System.out.
Thanks in advance!
Matt

Thank you to everyone that responded. I solved the issue. It was a timing issue...here's my original method:
private void renderProductFolder(SubFolder sf){
try{
WTPart part = QueryHelper.service.findWTPart("number", sf.getNam());
WTTreeNode node = buildWTTreeNode(part);
super.getTreeModel().setRoot(node);
renderTree(node, sf); // This is the problem call
super.getSelectionModel().
setSelectionPath(new TreePath(node.getPath()));
super.expandPath(new TreePath(node.getPath()));
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
Here is the fix:
private void renderProductFolder(SubFolder sf){
try{
WTPart part = QueryHelper.service.findWTPart("number", sf.getNam());
WTTreeNode node = buildWTTreeNode(part);
renderTree(node, sf); // This was the problem call
super.getTreeModel().setRoot(node);
super.getSelectionModel().
setSelectionPath(new TreePath(node.getPath()));
super.expandPath(new TreePath(node.getPath()));
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
I was originally building the root node, then setting it as the root, then adding additional nodes to the root in the call to renderTree(). So the fix was to build the complete tree structure and then call setRoot(). Otherwise the tree doesn't automatically paint the nodes when they're added via node.add(nodeChild).
It was just a coincidence that I discovered this problem with nodes having the same name.
Thanks for all your great input!
