Can't view files with long file names?

Hi, Im using Mac OSX 10.3.9 and I have a problem viewing files on a server that have long file names (i.e over about 20 characters) they do not show up on my mac but when viewed on a PC computer they are all there. Strange thing is though I have another mac on the same network running exactly the same operating system and version and files with long name can be viewed on that system ?? it is some simple preference does anybody know? Any help would be much appreciated. thank you.

Hi, I tried accessing a test file that I have made up with a long name through a browser and through FTP and cannot see it on either one. I can however see it on the other Mac that I have access to that is running the same OS and version etc... and also this file can been viewed on the PC's that are around me....

Viewing file names in vlc in ipad

Hi .. I'm not sure if the topic made sense.. Here is what Im trying to do ..
Say if I'm copying bunch of episodes from a series or movies and copy to vlc via itunes, when i try to open vlc and pick any episode, it only shows me first few letters of the file. Its quite common that all the files starts with same name..(eg. Naruto_Episode or Friends_Season_ )
Is there any way to view file name and then select it accordingly ? OR is there any other software which is out there I can use for this purpose
I spent some amount of time in renaming every files before i copied them to iPad.I dont want to do that everytime ..
Any suggestions / Thoughts ?
Thanks in Advance

Completely agree!
What were the developers thinking when they hid info as basic as file name from users once imported. Even mom/pop videos like a hockey high lights vid might have 15-20 vid clips coming in at random times and different sources.
To make users suffer with this crippled GUI just has to be one of those decisions you cynically think were made for $$$$ reasons...
ie cripple a useful cheaper tool like iMovie so users with even modest projects has to buy/learn the more expensive tool.
Thanks apple!

How can I hide file names in a photostream?

How can I hide file names in a shared photo stream on icloud. I don't want people to see how many pictures I take at an event. Can this be done to pictures already posted?

The Shared Photo Stream uses the filename of the original image file as the title that is shown in the stream. If you want to hide the original filename, export the image to a folder in the Finder, rename it, then reimport it to share it. You can rename the files directly when exporting.
Or, if you do not mind to change the names of the originals in Aperture use the command "Metadata > Batch change" and change the title of the image, with the option "Apply to Original file" enabled and "Add metadata from" set to "None".
To rename the photos already shared, delete them from the Shared Album and share them again.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How can I merge folder with the same name so that the content does not replace the other

How can I merge folder with the same name so that the content does not replace the other?

That's only a good idea if the semantics of sayHello
as defined in MyInterface suggest that a
RemoteException could occur. If not, then you're
designing the interface to suit the way the
implementing classes will be written, which smells.
:-)But in practice you can't make a call which can be handled either remotely or locally without, at some point, dealing with the RemoteException.
Therefore either RemoteException must be part of the interface or (an this is probably more satisfactory) you don't use the remote interface directly, but MyInterface is implemented by a wrapper class which deals with the exception.

APD - error when activating, problem: 7.0 variable with long technical name

Hello everybody!
I have got the following problem:
I created an APD, with one filter on 0calday using a variable. This variable was created on our own and works without any problems. It's a 7.0 variable with a long description "W_E_M_0CALDAY_WDLAS"
If I try to activate the APD I get an error message "Analysis Process Has Errors, Activation Is Not Possible" and "Variable W_E_M_0CALDAY_WDLAS does not exist actively". But this variable is active!
My colleague told me, that there seems to be a problem with long technical names of variables in APD. I tried to find a SAP note to this topic, but I didn't.
Had anyone else this problem? How was it solved? Or are there any SAP notes I didn't find?
Thanks for your help!
Bettina

In the meantime I copied the variable to a shorter name, but it still doesn't work. I tried it with a 3.x variable and a 7.0 variable. In the exit I first added an OR condition to the when-case, but this didn't also help. Afterwards I copied the whole coding in a separate when-clause.
Stil not successful. Factory calender is OK. The variables also work in a normal query but not in the APD - the result of the last workday is always '00000000'.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Bettina

Can automator identify file names longer than a specified number of characters?

I have a lot of data that I need to ultimately archive to a PC solution but it currently has a lot of files with names longer than 256 characters. I know I can batch update the names with automator, but what about an easy way to identify them?? Is there a way to identify file names based on file name length?

Not in Automator. There are other ways but the question is once you have the files what do you plan to rename them. You can't just cut off all the chars above 256 as this will not ensure uniqueness.
So what convention will you use to make the names unique?
As for getting the files. This command run in the terminal will return all filenames over N long
ls | awk 'length ($0) > N'
so in your case
ls | awk 'length ($0) > 255'
So this could be run from an Automator workflow or Applescript to capture the filenames you want to change. But again it's the renaming that is tricky.

Can't select file names in list view

System: Mac Pro 2.93 Quad-Core, 6GB RAM, 10.6.2
I updated from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2 using software update AND from 10.6 to 10.6.2 doing a clean install. Both times I had problems with the finder: first, the icons in the sidebar turned into "page" icons (a white rectangle similar to the Documents icon, but one sheet instead of "two"), then I couldn't select the file names (to change the name of a file) in list view. Strangely I could do so in icon view or using Get Info. I trashed the com.apple.finder.plist file, and now every window has it's own set of values (different icon sizes and sorting prefs.) and I can't seem to make all windows default to a set of view/sort values (every time I open a window they change even after I selected "use values as defaults").
I'm stumped any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if the finder is "acting-up," does that mean that copying files, doing backups and the like, are all compromised? (This would be really upsetting).
Thanks

Have a bootable backup/clone of your previous 10.6.1 installation or a TM backup?

Viewing File names of photos

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to view the file names of photos your are viewing in the photo library on an Apple Ipod Touch?? Even if it is not available in the standard photo library, is it possible to do with a 3rd party app? I want to be able to show people pictures on an Ipod touch (or similar) and, if they want a copy of a certain photo I have taken, note down the file number so that I can print it off when i get home.
Surely this must be able to be done, it's not like the filename is hidden away, it's the **** filename!! hehe
Cheers
Sparky

i have an app called 'ePhotoChest' which allows you to name the photos after you've imported them. slightly tedious but would work for you. someone else may know of a different app that does what you want.

View file names under images?

In iPhoto, the titles of all imported images were set to the file names and it was therefore possible to have the file names displayed under every image.
In Photos, titles can be viewed by selecting View > Metadata > Titles, but all titles are empty on newly imported images. There seems to be an option to view the file name as a separate field, by selecting View > Metadata > Referenced file. However, this option does nothing. But when I search for a file name, the correct images show up, so Photos obviously keeps track of the file names somehow.
So, how can I view the file names under every image, or import the file names into the titles?

OK, thanks.
I dug around a little and this definitely seems to be a bug in how the iPhoto library is converted to a Photos library. iPhoto didn't just display file names under the images. Rather, on import, iPhoto actually sets the image titles to the file names minus the file extensions (e.g. ".jpg"). But those titles, as well as the titles manually set in iPhoto, are not imported properly into the Photos library.
I located the Photos library database. It's in the library package > Database > apdb > Library.apdb. The file is in SQLite format and can be browsed and edited with e.g. "sqlitebrowser" (http://sqlitebrowser.org/).* In it, I found that there is a table called RKMaster, that holds information about all original images. RKMaster has an attribute called "name" that contains all the original image titles. This is not the same as the file name, which is a separate "fileName" attribute in the same table, which in my case contains the same information as the "name" attribute, but with file extensions.
Then there is another table, RKVersion. This table contains information about the different versions of all images and this information is the one actually being displayed when you use the application. RKVersion has attributes for "name" and "fileName" as well. In my Photos library, "name" is empty for all my newly imported images, but "fileName" has all the correct file names with file extensions. If I edit the database and insert something in the "name" attribute for an image, the name is then displayed as an image title in Photos.
I then opened the library file from my old iPhoto library and it has a similar structure. In its RKVersion table, all the "name" attributes are filled out and they contain all the image titles I want to see. So I can conclude that during the conversion from iPhoto to Photos, the "name" attributes were simply not copied over, and that is why all my images now lack titles.
I will try to find a way to copy this whole column from the iPhoto library into the Photos library, which should solve the problem.
* Please be aware that editing this file may cause irreversible damage to the library. Make sure there is a backup of the whole library before digging into these files.

Time capsule settings changed now can't view files

Hi,
I changed my settings on my time capsule accidently and now I can't view my files. I click on the time Capsule in windows explorer and all I get is .com.apple.airport.sharepoint. I got this once before but can't remember how to fix it. I can see my TC files from my Ipad but not from my Windows 7 computer.
Help!!

The address is typed into the only place you can type addresses .. that is the address bar..
If it cannot reach the TC hard disk then you need to do some more fundamental checks.
1. Reset the TC to factory and start over.. Use all SMB names. As already stated.. all names must be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Do it from a Mac or iOS with airport app.
2. Plug the windows computer into the TC by ethernet. Make sure the LED turns on .. connectivity on both the computer and the TC. Make sure the PC has an IP address from the TC by opening a command prompt and typing.. ipconfig
It should come up 10.0.1.x (x being any number).
3. To make sure you have bonjour simply load it again.. easiest is to download and install the windows version of Airport Utility.. http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
If it refuses to install or say it is already loaded then you already have it.
4. Make sure you set the file sharing page to Guest access on and workgroup to WORKGROUP.
5. Now type the name or the IP again into the address bar of windows explorer.
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress.
You do not type what I put.. you type the actual name or actual IP. Clearly \\TCIPaddress will not work.. unless you named the TC TCIPaddress which would be rather odd. For example if the TC is default.. 10.0.1.1 then you type \\10.0.1.1 .. just to be clear.

"Can not Save file name " InDesign CS6 - Cloud---WTF!

Hello anyone
This new Cloud Adobe CS6 is SO buggy.
not my first issue with it...
I am using
Cloud version of - but locally installed
Trial version of CS6 InDesign.
iMac - mountain lion 10.8.1
i7/12Gig RAM. SSD, and 1 T platter drive.
Anyway-
After many HOURS of InDesign work.
Many pages, lots of stuff.
I exported my work as PDF to send to my boss. Worked fine.
But I can't save the working file.
All Save menu items are grayed out.
The astericks is there in the window title.
When I just close the file- I am prompted to Save the file or lose my work.
I hit Save and get window
"can not save filename"
with no error code.
NOTHING!
This has happened twice. First time not a lot had been done to the file.
So I just re-started the iMac
This time I stand to lose some real work here.
Does this happen if I just use the free version!?!?!?!?
I will happily pay after my trial but if this is what the new CS6 has in store, then screw Adobe.
Can anyone help me???

There's no difference in fuctionality between paid and free versions.
There are two things worth trying, if you haven't already closed and lost the file. The first is to export to .idml, open that and see if you can save it with a new name: Remove minor corruption by exporting
The second is riskier as it depends on ID's amazing file recovery after a crash. If the method above fails you haven't got a lot to lose, though, so here here's the next thing I would try:
Force Quit Indesign. See Replace Your Preferences and use the manual method to replace the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData files (and while you're at it, make a backup copy of the InDesign Recovery folder). Also see Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup and delete the additional files in John's post. If you need to delete or copy hidden files and don't know how to access them, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
When all that is done, restart InDesign. With luck, autorecovery will open the file again with not much missing and you can try to save it.

How can I get file name using JSTL ?

Hi,
I'm now using <c:out value="${pageContext.request.requestURI}"/>
this return servlet path
How can I get just file name
or user path (in location bar) ?
thanks in advance

The original uri (before forwarding) is available in a request scoped attribute.
These attributes are given the values obtained by calling the related method on the original request received by the container.
javax.servlet.forward.request_uri
javax.servlet.forward.context_path
javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path
javax.servlet.forward.path_info
javax.servlet.forward.query_stringSo if those two above don't work for you these might.
<c:out value="${requestScope['javax.servlet.forward.request_uri']}"/>
<c:out value="${requestScope['javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path']}"/>If these values are null, then the value in the request object is the correct one.
You mentioned the value in the address bar being a .html file. Do you perchance use framesets? If so the value in the address bar is always the url used to load the frameset, and doesn't change no matter where you travel within those frames. That won't be available to the server, because it has nothing to do with the current request.
Cheers,
evnafets

Can't view files in mini bridge

Help -
I've just had to reinstall photoshop due to a pc crash but now I've reinstalled I can
't view my files in mini bridge. Bridge itself is fine. Do I need to reset something?
Thanks

Usually a reinstall does nothing as the preference in Bridge is unaffected. If if worked before the crashyou can reset your preferences by holding down the Ctrl key and starting Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 options.
Hope this solves problem.
