Capturing file path using a browse button

I've created a registration form and need to allow the end user to click the "browse" button and select a directory - not a file. e.g. \\server\share\directory Once the directory has been selected the text field would be populated and eventually stored in the database. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the right function to capture the directory path. Is it not possible? If not, any other suggestions?
thanks in advance

I tried to use the Browse button on the left pane to go to a server which has my local copy so that I can FTP to ISP, but I get a window saying there is a permissions issue. How do I resolve?

If it has a cloud icon it means its no longer on your device. Tapping on the cloud will effectively reinstall the App from scratch to your device.
There is no way to remove it from the cloud because its not yours to remove from there. Its the general App repository, you are just given access to it to download content you've already purchased.

t:inputFileUpload does not give file path in mozilla browser?????

Hi all,
I am using <t:inputFileUpload /> for file uploading purpose,
UploadedFile inputFile.getName() method gives entire file path when i use IE,but
the same inputFile.getName() gives just a file name not the complete path when i use
mozilla browser.....
i got to save the entire file path during upload.
Any idea to solve this cross browser problem???
regards,
sundar

That is indeed a flaw in Internet Explorer. Firefox behaves as it should be.
Why do you need the file path? Do you think that you can get the file from the server disk if you construct a File object with a path which is obtained from a client side disk? This is not going to work. Just get the file contents by UploadedFile#getInputStream().

Failing capture - file being used by another process.

Hi there.
So i have a IBM system x 3550 m4 booting from SAN Windows server 2012.
I'm trying to capture an image using MDT 2012 installed on windows server 2008 r2.
The first try to capture failed because of lack of proper network driver in WinPE. So i've managed to boot again in the system (the PE after restart was giving me a 0xc000000f bsod). I've put drivers into boot image and started a second attempt to capture.
There was a strange thing: the process was stuck very long on bcdedit sub-tasks (as were lagging the interactive bcdedit calls i've tried to do from command line). But nevertheless it managed to reboot and almost finished capturing but crashed at 83% with

How to get absolute File Path using JFileChooser?

Hi,
IS there any way by which we can get the absolute file path ? e.g. If I browse thro JFileUser and Selects "a.txt" and say open, it should return me the complete file
path e.g. D:/abc/a.txt.
Present method.fileChooser.getSelectedFile().getName() return the name of the file i.e. a.txt and NOT the complete path.
Pls Help !!

fileChooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath(); will do the trick.

Dynamically changing the file name using the submit button

I am currently using a submit button to send information to myself from the user of the form. Is there any way to change the name of the file that is emailed as a .pdf file according to some type of parameter or data set that is collected in the form?

Not programmatically. The attachment wil take the same name as the opened PDF. If you change the name of the PDF then it will change your form name as well. That cannot be done programmatically.

SIMPLE QUESTION, BROWNIE POINTS FOR ANSWERERS: changing the file path used for an audio recording

After changing the name of an audio recording in the .band Media folder, the .band file continues to use the previous file name to try to find the audio file. I want to update the file path so that it uses the same file but with the new name. I thought I might be able to change the file path by editing projectData, but it appears to be encoded.
This is a common, crucial feature present in virtually all DAWs. Surely there must be a feasible way to do this in GarageBand?

When I try to forward a PDF file by using the email button on the toolbar, it won't send.

I cannot always forward a PDF using the email button on the toolbar. For example, I get a report forwarded to me as a link. When I open the link, the document opens as a PDF. I use the email button on the toolbar to forward the document as an attachment. Outlook pops up as a new message with the attachment. I finish writing my email and hit the "send" button and I get an error saying the doucment couldn't be sent. If I close the email and save it as a draft, I can open the draft copy and it will send. Is there someway to fix this so I can eliminate these extra steps? This has happened on a computer with Adobe Reader as well as a computer with Adobe Acrobate 9 Standard.

Is that the exact message that Outlooks gives you?
Anyway, why don't you just forward the original link to the document, instead of the PDF itself?

Getting the entire file path using "Browse button"

Hi All,
I searched the forum for the solution, but did not find it there.
I am using JFileChooser to browse and select a file.
then i have to pass this file as and argument to another java program where it reads the file and sends it to the server.
Now what i actually want is, when the file is selected i want to get the file nam along with the path i.e. C:/temp/temp.doc
instead i am getting only temp.doc.
I tried setting the JFileChooser mode as DIRECTORIES_ONLY. But that gives me only C:/temp and not the file name.
If i set it as FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES it again gives me only the file name and not the path.
pls. help me. its urgent.
thanks

What is wrong with JFileChooser.getSelectedFile()? From the returned File object you can get the canonical name which sounds to be what you want.

Screen Capture (file format) used to be pdf

Is there a way to change the default file format for a screen capture. The file format in OS 10.3 used to capture as a PDF. Now the format is PNG. I know you can open the file in preview and resave it.
I just want to see if there is someway to change preferences or something so it will default as a pdf file.
thanks

Hi, amantia and costicladop —
amantia, welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are various options to accomplish your objective.
OnyX 1.6.5 (a free utility) and Cocktail 3.6.5 ($14.95 shareware utility) offer the option to change graphic file format with a "single click" — in OnyX »» Appearance »» Screen Capture and Cocktail »» Interface »» Misc. »» Screenshot file format, respectively.
They're both just implementing Terminal commands — which provide another option.
bmp, gif, jpg, jpg-2000, pdf, photoshop, pict, png, sgi, tga, and tiff options are available in both utilities.
Hope this helps . . .
Regards,
Dean
p.s. costicladop — following your link engages an automatic download. (Duh.)

Incorrect file path using %DefaultDataDir% placeholder

We are seeing some Disk IO errors in the event log from CrystalReportsProcessingServer complaining when trying to write/read from files with a location with 2 slashes.
The Temporary Directory location for CrystalReporsProcessingServer, DesktopIntelligenceProcessingServer and some other servers is set as:
%DefaultDataDir%/CrystalReportsProcessingServer/temp
The %DefaultDataDir% placeholder has the following path:
C:/Program Files/Business Objects/BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0/Data/
Question, wouldn't the Temporary Directory path end up with two forward slashes after the Data directory and throw an error? For example:
C:/Program Files/Business Objects/BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0/Data//CrystalReportsProcessingServer/temp

Hi
Looks like the application server was installed before installing Creator and the default path was taken as C:/Sun/Creator/SunAppServer8/domains/domain1/logs/server.log
Change that to
C:/Sun/Creator/SunAppServer8/domains/creator/logs/server.log
Restart the application server once you modify this value in the admin console.

IMPORTING 3 CSV FILES AS INPUT WITH BROWSE BUTTON COMPARING 3 CSV FILES

I HAVE 3 .CSV FILES WHICH ARE MY INPUT
1. TRUE FILE
2. LIMIT FILE
3. REFERENCE FILE
I want to compare limit file and true file and delete some columns from true file and for rest of the columns calculate mean,standard deviation how do I approach the problem

if possible, best thing would be bring the contents to staging tables and do comparison in sql. This would have the advantage of ability to apply set based logic and would be much better from performance perspective rather than trying to do this directly
from the file.

How to force the File Path Control Browser button to the RT Target instead of the host machine?

I am building an application on a RT PXI system, and for one of the functions I would like the user to be able to use the browser button of the File Path Control to choose a directory on the PXI. However the browser button seems to only want open a file on the host PC, even though the application is fully deployed on the target. Note that I am controlling the PXI from a host PC.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is not a VI to do this. Are you browsing to these files from your host VI? In order to access the files on your PXI RT target, you'll need to FTP in and browse to them that way. You could programmatically do this, but there is not a simple VI to do so.
