"Browse for Folder" Issue

Has anyone else had the problem where they cannot go to any subfolders in their "Browse for Folder" dialog box?
I have all of my photos organized by year and then by month.
I have made changes to various photos and want to save them. However, when I go to export my changes, I can only export to my "Main" folder. When I click on the plus (+) sign, nothing happens besides the plus (+) sign disappearing. Nothing locks up.
For now, I am saving to my main folder and then manually moving them to the folder I want them in.
Thanks,
-Lou

All I'm trying to do is find a folder to export my modified photo to.
For example, I pull up photo DSN_5678. It was imported from My Pictures\2007\06-June folder. I make my changes to the image and now want to "save" the changes so I can have it available for other users on my network. (NOTE: Ignore the network comment since I use another program to backup my pictures to my network from my local hard drive. I keep all my pictures on my local hard drive and back up to a server for everyone else to see and use.)
When I click on Export, the dialogue box comes up just as it should.
I then click on the "Choose..." button in order to change the directory. When I go to "choose" the folder I want to save/export the image to, it doesn't allow me to select any other folders than the ones listed in the "Browse for Folder" dialogue box (My Computer, My Pictures, Shared Documents and a few others that I do not want my pictures saved to). Everytime I click on the plus (+) sign to expand the tree, nothing happens beside the plus (+) sign disappearing.
Any suggestions?

Problem with Copy To/Browse for Folder

Don't know when it started doing this, but now when I right-click and select Copy To and select Browse for Folder it only shows me folders that are under my W7 user name.
I need to get to my external drive, but it doesn't display Computer.
Strange and very inconvenient.
Looking for a solution.

Hmm, can't imagine how my workspace would relate to what drives Bridge reads using the Copy To. My drives show up just fine in the folders view. And also in the Export to dialog.
I keep my images on an external drive.
Folders that are not under my user name on C drive, but still on another drive show up in the recent ones in Copy To and access just fine.
So it makes no sense that Copy To>Browse for Folder only displays my drive C Windows user folder on that other drive.

Browse For Folder Dialog

I am trying to display a "Browse For Folder" dialog
Note that this is not the JFileChooser with the DIRECTORIES_ONLY flag
It is this one
http://i.msdn.microsoft.com/Bb964683.ed6b0efa-d190-4995-861d-abc3571b06ac(en-us,office.12).gif
There have been several posts over the years on these forums asking similar questions without answers.
I can't believe that noone has ever made one since so many people want this functionality.
There doesn't appear to be one in the Swing Package.
Does anyone know of a free jar that contains this?

JDirectoryChooser
And while we are with choosers, we might also want to try the folowing choosers for colors and dates:
[Quick Color Chooser|https://colorchooser.dev.java.net/]
[MultiDateChooser |http://www.javafr.com/codes/SELECTEUR-DATES-MULTIPLES_48407.aspx] (to download the zip you must be connected with your CodeS-SourceS account wich is totally free)

Browse for folder button in JSP Page

Trying to create a browse for folder button in a JSP page. Anybody with some ideas on how to do this? Applet, Bean, some other way? Has anybody done this before? Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance!

We have done it with Struts before. Also seen it done with javascript.

Browse for folder

Hi all,
I was using "JFileChooser" for selecting a directory by setting it's selection mode to "DIRECTORIES_ONLY".
But, we noticed that the users are getting a little confused with the "JFileChooser" when they have to select a directory. And Windows OS uses something called the "Browse for folder" control which shows all the directories in a Tree structure and the users are less confused by this component.
So, is there any swing component which looks like the "Browse for folder"???
Thank you.

The GET_FILE_NAME built-in allows you to search for a directory as well as a file - check out the on-line help for it.

Browse for Folder function for PHP?

can anyone recommend a good plug-in to implement the Windows
"browse for folder"
function in php? I am looking for something like the menu you
get when you want
to select a folder in theDreamweaver "Find and replace"
function.

Look on Gary White's site -

his tutorial on
how to create a dynamic sitemap in PHP. With modifications,
that's exactly
what you need.

Export presets now direct me to the "Browse For Folder" dialog box

Suddenly Lightroom will not remember the name of the "export to" folder when I use my export presets in certain ways, even though the name of the "export to" folder appears in the "Export" dialog box. The prolem exists in Library and Develop modules. This is what's happening…
IF I CLICK ON "FILE":
1. And choose the "Export" option, LR displays the Export dialog box, from which I can select an user preset and export a JPG file to the proper folder, as intended. (OK)
2. And choose the "Export with Previous" option, LR exports the JPG file immediately to the proper folder. (OK)
3. And I choose the "Export with Preset option, LR displays the menu of Lightroom presets and user presets, but clicking on a user preset displays the "Browse for folder" dialog box from which I must manually browse to the export folder before a file can be exported. (NOT OK)
IF I RIGHT-CLICK ON THE IMAGE:
LR displays a menu containing these options: Export, Export with Previous, the Lightroom presets, and my user presets.
4. If I then choose "Export," LR works properly---same as example 1 above. (OK)
5. If I then choose "Export with Previous," LR exports the JPG file immediately. (OK)
6. If I then choose one of my presets, LR does not work properly: it acts as it does in example 3 above. (NOT OK)
BACKGROUND:
I have been using these presets for almost a year without fail---they're great! Two days ago I moved my Lightroom catalog to a new external drive. I also renamed the "export to" folder (that new name is stored in the "Export" dialog box).
I sure would appreciate hearing from anyone on this because it's driving me crazy. Thanks.

SOLUTION FOUND:
I created yet another folder for storing exported JPGs. Then for each export preset I used the "Browse For Folder" dialog to point that preset to that new folder. All presets now work as before. This fix was tolerable for the seven presets I have, but a large number of presets would have made it a real chore.

Browse for Folder takes 3-1/2 minutes!

I am using LR3.3. Everything seems to work well except when I want to export a photo. I choose "Export To ---> Specific Folder" and then it takes a full 3-1/2 minutes (not seconds, but minutes), which is like an eternity, for the "Browse to Folder" dialog box to pop up. This happens every time. I appreciate your help.

UPDATE: I remembered that when I am at home and want to start my computer, I have to disconnect the internet cable or it takes almost 5 minutes to start Windows. The IT guy in my office told me that this is because the computer is trying, many times, to connect to the office server before giving up and finally allowing Windows to start. So in a moment of inspiration, I turned off the wireless on my computer, started Lightroom and attempted to export a photo. This time, the folder box appeared as fast as lightening! This is great, except now I must disconnect from the internet each time. Do you have any ideas?In any case I'm feeling good that we're making progress on this conundrum.

Browse for Folder path.

Hi,
I have a requirement to store a directory path in a database, and would like the user to be able to browse to a folder and select it, so that the full path can be stored in a table.
I plan to have the initial browse point default to a network drive and parent directory, under which the user will navigate and select the appropriate child directory, probably at least 2 levels down.
The user will be entering data via a form. I had envisaged using a display only field to show the path, (blank for new records), and then having a 'Browse' button to select the directory, before submitting the form.
The question is how to achieve this. The File Browse item type is nearly there, but is obviously more concerned with uploading files. I just want to select and store a directory path.
Any ideas on how I can achieve this please. I have been trying to get a button to run some java script to open up a dialogue and return a directory path, without success, and I am not sure this is the best approach.
Thanks in advance
Mark

For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. Firefox, Safari and Chrome only provide the filename. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8 and Opera have adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\".
Changes to IE's security config setting “Include local directory path when uploading files” enables the path to be exposed in IE8, but unless you're working in an intranet environment where: IE is the only browser used; it's possible to make remote changes to this setting on every desktop; and this won't break/expose anything else, then you'd be strongly advised to rethink this requirement.

I have a requirement to store a directory path in a database, and would like the user to be able to browse to a folder and select it, so that the full path can be stored in a table.If you explain what this requirement is then possibly some alternative approaches can be suggested that don't involve storing file paths.

ActionScript 3 Air Desktop Application Browse For Local Directory Popup

Hello all,
I am developing a desktop Air program that will include a browse button that allows the user to click, and once the user clicks the button, I am wanting a pop-up window to appear that allows the user to browse to a writable folder/directory on his computer. Once the user selects a folder in the window, I want to grab that directory location and store it. The storing part I know how to do, but how to create this pop-up window or dialog, I do not have a clue where to start.
What's the simplest way to go about this?
Edit:
I see I can use this example from this site, but I don't know where to grab the directory the user selected: actionscript 3 - How to create "Browse for folder" dialog in Adobe FLEX? - Stack Overflow
var f : File = new File;
f.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onFolderSelected);
f.browseForDirectory("Choose a directory");

This seems to be supported by AIR only.
What gives you the impression?
AIR-only functions are marked with a fancy AIR logo
(like the first one in this list: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/images/sprite-index.png )
and getData doesn`t have it, so it should work without problems in the "normal" Flash Player if you follow the recepy:
Note for Flash Player applications: In Flash Player 10, a paste operation from the clipboard first requires a user event (such as a keyboard shortcut for the Paste command or a mouse click on the Paste command in a context menu). Clipboard.getData() will return the contents of the clipboard only if the InteractiveObject has received and is acting on a paste event. Calling Clipboard.getData() under any other circumstances will be unsuccessful.

I have a Windows 7 Professional, 64 bits on my computer and have recently installed iTunes 11.1.3.8. but i started having this msg :"The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this folder" issues: how can i solve it?

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

Scripting: browse for data files in a folder and all subfolders below

Hello,
i'm looking for a command to search for data files (*.dat) in a folder and all subfolders below.
I checked out command DirListGet. This command only search in the declared folder and not in the subfolders below.
Anyone an idea?
I don't want to use a loop-structure for finding subfolders and browse for the data files.
Mr. Buddy

dim result : result = DirListGet("C:\tmp", "*.dat", "filename", "FullFilenamesRecursive")
dim fl : for each fl in result
MsgBox fl
Next
Works fine for me and even recursive.
Alternatively but with mucg more effort and the same result.
Option Explicit 'Forces the explicit declaration of all the variables in a script.
dim folderPath : folderPath = "C:\tmp"
dim files : files = GetFileListRecursive(folderPath)
dim fl : for each fl in files
MsgBox fl
Next
Function GetFileListRecursive(folderPath)
dim fso : Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
dim results : results = Array()
GetFiles fso, folderPath, results
GetFileListRecursive = results
End Function
Sub GetFiles(fso, folderPath, results)
dim folderObj : Set folderObj = fso.GetFolder(folderPath)
dim f : for Each f In folderObj.Files
if(0 = StrComp(fso.GetExtensionName(f), "dat", 1)) then
dim index : index = ubound(results) + 1
redim Preserve results(index)
results(index) = f.Path
End If
next
dim d : for Each d In folderObj.SubFolders
GetFiles fso, d.Path, results
next
End sub

Exchange 2010, UCC SSL, and the "new" CA/BROWSER Forum not issuing for .local

I don't know how many people have run into this yet, but the CA/BROSWER Forum, the "standards" authority for SSL issuing, has mandated that CA's can no longer issue a certificate using a FQDN "intranet" name for new or renewal SSL certificates effective
Nov 1, 2012. i.e. the Microsoft standard of mydomain.local will no longer be accepted as a SAN on a UCC for Exchange 2010. I've looked thru the KBs and Social forums, but haven't really found any guidance on how to solve this. I'm presuming
that the certs will have to be split and the "external" domain name of server.mydomain.net will just become a single server SSL, and the internal name of server.mydomain.local will become a Self-Signed certificate. With the increasing prevalence of OA
and ActiveSync devices, is there any baseline guidance yet on how to make this happen without completely fouling up production servers and killing access to the user community?

On the same topic, though likely different environment...
Against recommended deployment, I have a number of clients running all their services on one box. Windows Server 2008, Active Directoy, DNS, Exchange 2010 ...and so on. These servers all have .local addresses, which means of course that the SAN
certificates have .local addresses as one of the SANs.
I've read alot online about this issue, and am trying to find the most cost effective solution to switch numerous production servers running this configuration.
The best solution I've come up with so far is...
1. Virtual AD with new external domain, 2. Migrate Exchange CAS to this domain, 3. Reconfigure network through the box.
Obviously these steps will contain alot more details, but this is just the outline atm. At best, I see me having to take a second box with me to each location to perform these steps, and I can't see it happening without disruption to the work flow
of employees.
Thankfully, all of these businesses are relatively smal...under 25 employees. Still, I'd like to find the smoothest transition solution possible.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Regards
