Cannot delete in a file after it has been open 20 minutes

After I have a file open for about 20 minutes Delete stops working. When I hit the key, illustrator appears to lock up for abou 30 seconds, but the feature doesn't delete. I have to keep closing and reopening the file. The file is only about 3.5MB in size. Any ideas on how to improve this?

Yes, I was thinking of PS and AE at the time of writing this. However, AI has an option for setting this as well. If you open up the AIPrefs file in your user home directory (e.g. on Vista 64bit C:\Users\Mylenium\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings\en_US), there is a pair of lines reading
/maxUndoDepth 200
/undoDepth 5
By editing the maxUndoDepth value, it may be possible to get a more memory friendly behavior on some systems.

My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
We need to know exactly what you did
And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
For reference after you get things working
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Is it possible to retrieve files after trash has been emptied?

Is it possible to retrieve files after they have been emptied from trash?
I have over relied on USB sticks to transfer / store files, and have experienced a catastrophic failure of one particular USB stick,
with info that took me months to prepare. Any good news out there?

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

When I try to open CS5, I get an error message that it cannot initialize the preferences file because it has been deleted. How do I fix this?

The last time I used CS5, I changed the scratch disc in the preferences file; now Photoshop will not open saying that the preferences file has been deleted. I didn't delete the file. How do I fix this?

As you open Photoshop, hold Control + Alt + Shift (or Command + Option + Shift on a Mac). That will trigger a preferences reset dialog, Photoshop will go back to default state when you do that.

CUP: Delete user certain time after request has been created

Hi,
Is it possible to define in CUP a delete account workflow that once the request has been created user deletion waits some time (i.e 1 month) before user is finally deleted? We would need a workflow without any approver.
Delete User request creation >> 1 month >> User is deleted
Thanks in advance. Best regards,
Imanol

Hi,
Automatically deleting user IDs after a specific # of days is not possible in CUP. However, while creating the stage, you can define the wait time and then trigger the escalation. You can make the escalation to the Security Manager who can immediately take up the proper action, i.e., deleting the ID or making it inactive.
Infact, this is the reason why it is recommended to have an alternative approver.
Hope this addresses your question.

Raghu

Oracle.exe keeps locking a file after connection has been closed.

Hi,
I've written a windows service in .net that monitors a directory for new uploaded files that need to be synchronized with the database. When it detects a new file it moves the file to a another directory from which oracle can reach the file. When the file is moved. I open a connection with the database that performs a select * ... on the external table which reads the file. This all works like a charm and afterwards i dispose of the connection.
Then i try to move the file again to another directory because it has been processed, but then i got an System.IO.IOException because the file is locked by a process. When i check by which process it is oracle.exe and the lock stays untill i terminate my service. When i debug the service i double checked and the connection state is closed before i try to move it again. For some reason oracle.exe locks the file untill i kill the service that opened the connection.
If i need to give more specific information please ask, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Pieter

Do you see the same behavior is you select * from sqlplus instead of the odp app, but don't disconnect the sqlplus session?
ODP has pooling on by default, so even though you close and dispose the connection, the underlying hard connection stays open.
I dont know if there's a way to unlock the file without disconnecting which may be the ideal solution, but if not you could probably just disable connection pooling (set pooling=false in the connect string) to get around it.
Hope it helps,

Reloading a JAR file after it has been updated.

I am adding an Auto-upgrade feature to our Java application. Basically the application has 2 JAR files : the StartUp JAR file and the main application JAR file.
When the StartUp JAR file is run it checks whether there is a newer version of the main application JAR file on the server, and if so then retrieves it by deleting the old one and copying the new one across.
My problem is that when I've copied the new JAR file across an attempt to use the classes in it I get the Exception NoClassDefFoundError. It appears that the StartUp routine which access the main application JAR file has cached the old application JAR file and doesn't reference the new one. Therefore, when I delete the file it can no longer find the classes.
How do I get round this ? I have seen forums on using class loaders, but I want to reload the whole JAR file. Can this be done ? Or is there a simpler solution ?
Thanks.
Sarah.

Hi.
Try this:
- Create a URLClassLoader giving the URL of the JAR file with the classes of your APP.
- Make a loadClass using the URLClassLoader of the class that will start your app.
- Use reflection or whatever to create an instance of the class and start the app.
Here is some scratchy code:
loader = new URLClassLoader(new URL[] {new File(jarfile).toURL()});
Class theclass = loader.loadClass(classname);
Object obj = theclass.newInstance();Hope this helps,
Nuno

Action: Remove original file after it has been closed

Hello. Is there any way to make Photoshop delete (or move to Recycle Bin, doesn't matter) a file in an Action?
Basically at the moment I manually open a picture, then I activate my Action which does a bunch of automated things, saves a .png copy, closes the file. I would like my Action to also remove the original file. Is it possible?
(I cannot use batch processing because the picture names do not follow a logical pattern, therefore I still wish to open the files myself.)
Thank you.

I think this needs a Script.
Edit: But I doubt the wisdom of removing the original image and only keeping the edited data.

How can I safely delete a questionable email after it has been downloaded?

Norton tells me it will scan for virus if I use outlook or outlook express, but in certain cases not for thunderbird. what are the exceptions? What should our proper procedure be?

I think you're looking for '''right-click, delete''' as a way of deleting a message without opening it.
However, in most cases, the dangers of viewing suspect email messages are usually overstated. Unless you follow links, or download and unzip or open attachments, they are unlikely to do you any harm, particularly in Thunderbird where scripts are not permitted to run.
To be ultra cautious, you could view messages off line, or disable live content by viewing in plain text only.

Tiles- Cannot forward after response has been committed Error

I am trying to use following approach for my tiles implementation but i am getting error like
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot forward after response has been committed.
I have gone thorugh the other posts regarding the same error but not helping me.
Any clues greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

"I haven't found a way to directly dispatch to a tiles definition, but you can eliminate the need for multiple "wrapper" JSPs by creating a single "tilesDispatch" JSP that is able to dispatch to different tiles definitions, and establishing a convention for mapping URLs to that JSP, and identifying the tiles definition you want to load.
For example, you could use the following convention to identify a tiles definition:
/tiles/defName
where "defName" is the name of the tiles definition (from tiles.xml) that you want to use. The code for the tilesDispatch.jsp would be as follows:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="t" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles" %>
<%
String tilePath = request.getRequestURI();
int slashIndex = tilePath.lastIndexOf('/');
if (slashIndex >= 0) {
tilePath = tilePath.substring(slashIndex+1);
%>
<t:insert definition="<%=tilePath%>" flush="false"/>
The scriptlet code takes the request URL (e.g. /tiles/defName), strips off everything up to and including the final slash (e.g. defName), then the tiles "t:insert" tag is used to look up and insert the corresponding tiles definition.
In order to map all URLs of the form /tiles/* to the tilesDispatch.jsp, you would need to add the following to your web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>tilesDispatch</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>tilesDispatch.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>tilesDispatch</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/tiles/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Note: You may need to insert a slash before tilesDispatch.jsp in the <jsp-file> element. I am using pre-compiled JSPs, so my configuration is a little different. So if <jsp-file>tilesDispatch.jsp</jsp-file> doesn't work, try <jsp-file>/tilesDispatch.jsp</jsp-file>.
Once you have this set up, you can refer to tiles definitions using the /tiles/defName convention in your faces-config.xml. For example, if you have two tiles definitions in your tiles.xml file: tile1 and tile2, you could have something like the following in faces-config.xml:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/tiles/tile1</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/tiles/tile2</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Note that when I have used this convention, I also have used the prefix mapping for JSF. That is, when linking to a JSF page, based on a tiles definition, from a non-JSF page, the URL would be as follows:
/faces/tiles/defName
In this case, the Faces servlet is initially invoked, which sets up the JSF environment. Then the /faces prefix is stripped off, and the remaining URL (/tiles/defName) is routed to the tilesDispatch.jsp, which strips off the /tiles/ prefix, and inserts the "defName" definition.
We are currently using this approach in a number of web apps, and it is working very reliably. I hope this helps.

Hi gimbal2,
I hope to better explain.
In my JSF code I have the next:

How do I automatically delete a .ps file after creating a pdf?

Hi all! I vaguley remember in the past that there is a preference to automatically delete a .ps file after creating a pdf. Can someone remind me of how to do this? I'm using Distiller version 9.2.0. Thank you so much!
Julie
PS: I'm creating the .ps file from Quark 7, if that makes a difference.

I am unaware of any feature allowing automatic delete of .PS files.
The adobePDF print driver which has been removed in OSX.6.x (Snow Leopard) That you choose when ina Document would go through the following steps in the background this made it slow.
create .ps File (hidden)
Checksum Verify the .ps File
Open Distiller in background (hidden)
Create Pdf
Checksum Verify the .pdf File
shut down Distiller in Backgroun (hidden)
Delete .ps File (hidden)
Pdf suddenly appears
If at any point in this chain something dies the pdf was not made.
Actually in prior OS to X.3.x the print driver provided for my Hp Inkjet, it was actually better to go to print menu, and choose save as postscript, then drop the postsript file on distiller and creat the PDF. or just open the ps in Acrobat.
with the PRint Drive provided for my HP Inkjet for X.3 it was changed to create Postcsript file from PDF. In the start having the PDF button on print menu. The pdf's were not as good as those created in the AdobePDF driver. But were aceptable for most purposes.

Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1

Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF. No error message but just does not print.
Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.
