Can i-tunes display fIle names in the columns

i-tunes has a vast list of columns to choose from right from album, artist,genre ,rating etc..
However, how can I display the original file name in a column?

As far as I have seen, using i-tunes properly to its fullest to maintain a neat library is not possible by simple users.
Huh?
Add items to iTunes, name everything correctly in iTunes and let iTunes manage everything, including location and it is very, very easy.
Why use one application to play music and another application (Windows Explorer) to manage the file locatgions and filenames? That sounds more difficult.
Simple users will not understand that the album tag in a mp3 file is most of Why would they be wrong? Most RIPping software will add the info from the application.
If the user is lazy and does not want to add/verify the info, then that is their problem but why not use the tags, which were developed specifically to maintain information about that file?Simple users (and everyone else) should use the tags and put the correct info in those tags (using iTunes).
and not relative to the original file name
Who really cares what a filename (or even where a file is located) is if I can do what I want in iTunes? If I need to copy it somewhere, drag it directly from the iTunes window.
So, it is just an additional simple request from simple users
Send suggestions here -> iTunes feedbacl
Regardless, you are free to maintain your files as you wish and you can make it as simple or as difficult or anywhere in between, as you want.

  • Can one lift a file-name without the file.extension in javascript

    I suspect this matter may have come up before but I could not find a thread on it ...
    Anyway: If I grab a filename for later use with
    var thedoc = app.activeDocument
    var docName = thedoc.name
    it picks up the original file-extension too.
    Is there a way to avoid this or to »substract« the extension later on?
    What I want to use that for is for saving multiple flattened CMYK-files from a layered RGB-psd-file into the same folder as the psd-file and appending a letter-combination to signify what printing-conditions they were generated for.
    As Im plenty ignorant in Scripting-matters any help would be appreciated.

    Here I go again:
    Originally I thought I would combine Actions and Scripts into a Droplet but then I got to thinking one Script containing all the operations would be neater.
    However I cant figure out how to write the Color Conversion of the RGB-files to CMYK into the Script.
    In »convertProfile« how do I address the ICC-Profiles and the Intent?
    Once again help would be appreciated, as I simply cant seem to figure it out from the Adobe-documentation on Javascript or a web-search.

  • The Video app in OS7 update doesn't display file names.

    The Video app in OS7 doesn't display file names under the image.
    How can I identify my video files without having to open each file to access the file name.
    Is there something I am missing or is this just an omission in the OS7 upgrade.
    I am a music teacher and this lack of file names makes the app virtually useless for use in the classroom.

    Agreed. This has been a problem with TV Shows in the Videos app since forever, but at least it used to put the name under Movies. Now instead fixing it for TV Shows in iOS 7 they've done the opposite and made Movies fail the same way as TV Shows always have!
    Apparently it still lists the title for Home Videos, so the best work around for now is probably to reclassify all your Movies as Home Videos. Sigh.
    Apple's Videos app development team seem to be unaware that iTunes can store and play movies and TV shows that don't come from the iTunes Store, videos that don't have covers, and that need to display the names and other info from iTunes for them. They also seem to not understand that the default grid view for videos is totally inadequate for users with scores or hundreds of movies and TV shows that they home share to their iPads and iPhones from iTunes. The Videos app needs a list view at least, as well as a grid view.
    All they have to do is look at how the Apple TV handles the same files and meta-data from iTunes and provide something similar for the iPad and iPhone. Why after all these years they still don't get that I have no idea.

  • Not to display the file name in the browser bar.

    Hello,
    Merry Christmas to all,
    Is it possible not to display the file name in the browser bar?
    Like say, when we write www.rediff.com, the index page name is not displayed.
    Likewise is it possible for any other page too.
    What I want is not to display any of the page name for the whole application.
    Whichever page is requested the page name should not appear in the address bar of the browser.
    How will I do that, what logics should I apply?
    Please suggest,
    Thanks,

    first, what does this have to do with Java?
    second, no; in order to display something, the browser needs to know where it is. and if it knows, then a user can find out too. maybe you can make it not show up in an address bar sometimes, but that really achieves nothing

  • Displaying complete file names on the desktop

    I think there was a way to get the finder to display the complete file names on the desktop. Some terminal command. Can anybody help?

    I have files on the Desktop that don't have that issue. But when I add characters to them I eventually reach the breaking point -- 37 characters is fine; 38 characters causes the file name to truncate. I suppose there may be a way to set a secret pref to show a larger number of characters using Terminal.
    Anyone know how many characters the OS file system is limited to -- ignoring display issues, I mean?

  • Displaying photo file names in the slideshow

    I don't think this has been asked yet, so....Does anyone know of a way to display the photo name when you are viewing the slideshow on the ATV similiar to the way you can view the file name in the iphoto slideshow? I haven't found this option if it exists in the ATV slideshow settings.
    Thanks

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.

    Barry

  • How can I edit the file name of the home page?

    How can I edit the file name of the home page?
    Gr Ammani

    I have a similar issue with regards to the filename...
    When I navigate to my website, it doesnt work unless I actually type the filename at the end of it. Example: type in "www.whitelion.com" (this is my real domain name) and it doesnt work. When I type in "www.whitelion.com/index.html" then it works.
    This is obviously inconvenient because my clients will never know to add the filename to the end of the site.
    Is there any setting or way to get the page to appear by just typing the original domain name without adding the extension?
    Thanks,

  • Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script?

    Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script? I wrote entries to a generic log file and would like to include the script name.

    Okay, So What you can do is
    1. Read get the version from your  database and redirect it to a text file(SQLCMD outout can be directed to text file using -o option or windows redirection operator >)
    2. Now you can read this value from the text file either inside a batch file or a powershell script and decide what operations you can do.

  • Do I need to provide the physcial hostname to iAS during installation or can I just that installed name into the /etc/hosts file?

     

    Hi,
    Pls confirm if you are using Windows 2000 Pro, in this O/S the
    hostname is the name of the computer itself. Check the
    MyComputer->Properties->Network Identification->Properties, the name you
    find under the computer name will be automatically taken while
    installation, if it doesn't then there is some error. However the
    C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts doesn't matter much while installing
    iAS 6.0 SP1 or above. Hope this helps
    Regards

  • How can I modify the display field names on the output port of my bi query

    Hello,
    I integrate my bi query in the visual composer storyboard.
    Then I click on my output port of the query and see the output fields.
    The display field names are very strange.
    For example:
    ABZCNQMDOPWJGHS1Q5Q27090
    I have never save such a field name while I create my query in the query designer.
    Have somebody an idea, where I can modify my displayed field names??
    Thanks.
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas,
    the cryptical names are the technical names of your query components. If there is no decription available (depends also on your portal language) then the technical names are displayed. Check your portal language in your user settings and then check if you have entered a description in the query designer for this language.

  • When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name.  How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

    When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name.  How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

    Hi Glenyse,
    Here are my steps.
    1.  I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
    2.  I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
    3.  I enter the recipient's email address.
    4.  The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
    5.  The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
    6.  The image opens up to its own screen.
    7.  The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
    Here is the part I do not understand.  For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name.  So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
    Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

    System.out.println("Its not a directory");
    How can i read and print the file names in the unix box?
    Thank You.
    Kumar

    Thank You for the reply.
    In my custom page, i am trying to include a search page which includes date parameters based on which the pdf files in the unix box should be displayed in the page as a list. (The pdf file names start with the date).
    Once the user clicks the file names displayed in the page, i need to open the pdf. This part i can handle but to search the file names based on the parameter names and display in the page as the list is a bit confusing.
    Thank You.
