Chafing at Auto-folder structure in C3

So. It's been an issue with me for awhile, I can get around
every other bug I've found in Captivate (I've used the product
since Captivate 1 came out, I've created about 300-400 tutorials
and can honestly say I know the product very well). Captivate 2 I
simply removed the extra folder that appeared in my 'my documents'
folder, or ignored it - there was only one of them and it didn't
clutter my folder structure too badly, especially if I used it. (I
know it's not a bug it's designed but it's rather obnoxious- making
it a personal bug I guess)
I just downloaded Captivate 3 and suddenly I'm not allowed to
publish without accepting the added folder titled with my project
name on top of my selected folder structure? What if I don't
want/need/desire an entire folder added to my documents for this
ONE resulting swf? I find this to be a slight overkill, I create so
many of these projects a year, PLEASE Please please tell me there's
a workaround, or I'm missing a checkbox somewhere? Or do I need to
submit a product enhancement? (Seriously, this auto-folder
structure should be optional, I'm very touchy about my folder
structure. My computer should only have folders where I want them,
when I want them. XD I suspect I'm a bit overcontrolling in that
area...it's a personal quirk.)
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: GAH. Found another post like mine, was searching in the
wrong forum. Looks like I have to submit an enhancement . (

How to make file folder structure from virtual folders

lv 2013 sp1
This is the layout of an example project, (please don't mind the horrible naming)
When i create a source distribution.. no matter what settings I try, the preview is always like this:
But I want the folder structure from the build to become as the virtual folder structure. is there any way of doing this without moving them by hand in the file explorer tab?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unless you use auto-populating folders (which I don't like), the virtual folders are not meant to reflect the location on disk, so it certainly won't be automatic.
I don't have experience with source distribution, but other build types have the option of configuring destination folders in the Destinations category and then assigning these destinations to items in the projects (including virtual folders, which then takes all the elements inside it) either in the same category or in the one under it, I can't check. I expect that you can do the same in a source distribution.
Try to take over the world!

Webhelp Output Folder Structure

This is more of a question than an issue.
When I generate webhelp from a FrameMaker-integrated RoboHelp
project, RoboHelp always adds a folder to the output to match the
name of the FrameMaker book in the Project Manager/Project Files
folder.
Example:
My FM book is called apiusersguide.book. After bringing the
content into RoboHelp, the parent folder (to match the book name)
is apiusersguide. When I generate the webhelp, I want the output to
be in a folder structure that looks like this:
apiguide\
apiguide.htm (webhelp startup file)
chapter1\topics.htm
chapter2\topics.htm
and so on. The output I want is apiguide\chapter\topic.htm.
However, RH ALWAYS adds the book name to the top level, even
if I omit it in the Webhelp Output Folder field when I generate. So
the folder structure ends up looking like this:
apiusersguide\ (name of the FM book and top level RH folder)
apiguide.htm (webhelp startup file)
apiguide\
chapter1\topics.htm
chapter2\topics.htm
and so on. The output I GET is
apiusersguide\apiguide\chapter\topic.htm.
I've experimented with a variety of different FM book names
and output folder names and RH ALWAYS inserts that top level folder
automatically. Is there any way to NOT generate the extra top level
folder in the output?

I am sorry Michael, I am unable to understand the exact
problem. Have you created the TOC using the Auto-create TOC option?
That could be the only reason for it to display the same names of
book in the output. Have you tried to name the books and the topics
as you have specified in the TOC? If not, do that first and I am
sure you can get the desired results.
Again, as I mentioned, if I have not understood you
correctly, please let me know the real issue and I'll try
resolvingit for you.

Pooja

Reorganized Project Window (can not restore my folder structure)

Using CC2014 on an iMac running Yosemite. Haven't updated anything so not sure what the issue is but here goes.
I typically organize my project files, then all of a sudden AE changed my folder structure. In the Project window it created a Solids, Nulls & Solids, Compositions and AI & PSD folders. All of my comps are in the compositions folder. All Ai and PSD files are in the AI and PSD folder. However, I would rather have it organized my way. I can open a previous version of the file and my organization structure is how I want it. I tried opening AE and restoring the default preferences and that didn't restore my structure. Is there some auto organize shortcut I accidentally hit? Never ran across this issue in all my years using AE. Any help is greatly appreciated!

^This is what it organized everything as. If I open the AI & PSD folder for instance, all layers of imported AI files are in there. There are no folders within them to reflect the layers of a certain piece of artwork for instance.
^This is the hierarchy of the ones I created. All have sub folders and Comps.
^This is the scripts panel here.
Contacted Adobe, did a screen share with them. They couldn't figure it out either and have said they never seen the issue before. Not sure if it is a bug or what happened. They said they didn't have a shortcut for organizing the project window like that.

Folder structure in Originals folder

My folder structure in the Originals folder within the iPhoto library package does no longer auto-organize.
Previously (and that's the case basically for years up until 2009), the folder structure is aligned to my "Events" structure within iPhoto. From 2009 onwards, the structure is just random dates -- likely related to when I imported the photos.
Can anyone help me to get iPhoto to auto-organize the structure again?
Thanks.

It sounds like iPhoto is not the DAM (digital asset management) application for you. You might want to look into other DAMs that can do what you want. The one that comes to mind is Media Expression which I use as my primary app. I then use iPhoto for special projects like books, calendars, etc.
You can find out about the various DAM applications at The DAM Forum. EM gives you total control over the folder structure, lets you rename folder/image files after importing, write metadata to the files and lots more.

How do I move photos in a Smart Collection and keep folder structure?

HI there I am on a trial of Lightroom and loving it so far. One seemingly simple task I would like to try out is moving all my RAW files (which are all mixed up with JPGs and PSDs to a new location and keep the current folder structure.
Currently I have files strcutured like this: <main disk>\<year>\<month>\<filename>.cr2 and I would like to move these to <different disk>\<year>\<month>\<filename>.cr2
The Export functions look as if they will put them all in to one big folder? Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.

There are several approaches to this problem. You could do this via the Folders panel in LR. You can do just about everything in the Folders panel that you can do in Explorer or Finder. Just create folder and drag and drop.
Another way is to do this outside LR use Explorer (Windows) or FInder (Mac). after you're done then go back into LR and tell LR where to find the moved files. Depending on how many you have this could be a bit tedious.
Another method is to choose the files you want then Export them as a Catalog. When you do this be sure to include the option to export the negatives. Point the new catalog at you other drive. It will recreate the folder structure during the export. Then remove the images from your present catalog. Don't delete from disk just remove. Now import from catalog and choose the newly exported catalog. This time choose the option to add the files without moving them. Once you are sure everything is back and is fine you can use Explorer or Finder to go into your original file structure and delete the files that were moved to the new drive. Be careful to only choose the moved files. If you are separating the RAWs out this should be relatively easy.
I hope that helps!

How can I batch move files to the same folder structure in a different location?

Hi,
I recently had an issue with my iTunes Library so I used the Organize Library feature to have iTunes organise my library. What happened was that it put all of my music in a folder called 'Music' on my external hard drive, whereas previously it was not in a folder at all, e.g.
BEFORE: External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
AFTER: External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
I don't have any particular issue with the updated folder structure, except that I had copies of the artwork for each album in my album folders, and these weren't moved when the audio files were moved/consolidated/organised. So I need to find a way of moving all of the artwork to the new folders, e.g.
External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
needs to become:
External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
I have to do this for 3,000+ albums, and I have multiple artwork files for some albums, so I am hoping that there is a way of doing this using a batch/automated method of some kind, but I haven't been able to turn up anything yet.
Can someone help with this?
Thanks,
Nick

You can make a smart playlist containing episodes of both series and play from that. Podcasts are linked together by the URL they are served from so merging ongoing series isn't really practical.

Hi. I am having trouble with the folder structure.

I import my pictures like probably most Lightroom users.
They go to:
Pictures / (Year) / (Subfolder name crated checking "Into Subfolder" during import)
Recently, after upgrading to Yosemite, when I import to this structure, Lightroom creates a folder visually outside it. Above, the "01_Sao_Paulo" folder should appear inside 2015 while "12_Atacama" and "12_Hasselblad" under 2014. The right folders were actually created when I check them in Finder.
And when I try to move the folders under the right folder structure, Lightroom recognizes that the folder already exists.
My question two questions are:
1. How do I make the folders appear correctly under the right folder structure?
2. How do I make Lightroom stop creating the folders outside the structure on my next imports?
Thanks for any help.

Using Metadata to generate view as conventional folder structure

Can Metadata be used to generate a view as the conventional folder drill-down?
I have a list with metadata for different projects, releases, content type etc and I would like to view them in folder structure with different hierarchies, i.e. using projects--> releases--> content-type as well as release --> projects --> content-type.
I have asked the same question at : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22693036/using-metadata-to-view-as-conventional-folder-structure

Hi,
If your metadata is based on a hierarchical term set you could use ‘Metadata Navigation’.
You may have to change your information architecture a bit to accommodate this approach. More info on ‘Metadata Navigation’ here:

Hope this helps

How can I batch Save For Web and maintain a multilevel folder structure?

First... I am using an old version of Photoshop.... 6.0 to be exact. If your answer is to buy the newer versions, I respectfully say I know that's AN answer, but I'm looking for something that will work with my setup. The version we have works just fine for the very few things we need it for, and we use new versions of InDesign and Acrobat for all else.
So here's the challenge:
We have a weekly magazine featuring 1,200 plus photos of cars for sale, each saved in a folder named for the sales rep, week and day. I must maintain these folder structure throughout the process, as the files names are duplicated by cameras and across reps. So I cannot dump all batch converted pics into one single folder, yet I need to reduce the Quality setting which I find when completing a Save As in Photoshop.
So I want to batch convert all the photos in multiple folders, some 3 folders deep, all at once.... reduce to 8 inches across, change to 72dpi, and reduce the quality slider to 5, which creates a nice 60-90K file. BUT.... it wants to save all of them in a particular folder. I need to just overwrite the original file with the new smaller one.... or save the new small version into the same folder the big one is in, but have it work with the "include all sub-folders" option in batch.
A sample File system .... 4513 Photos - Color <day of week> (3 folders) - <disk number><rep>Color (20 folders) - actual photos.
After converting, we push up the final level of folder to our website and that organization allows us to use them there the way we need. The uploading to the site and batch functions are done 3 to 4 times per week.... on different days.
Is there a way to reduce the quality (compression) of the jpgs that does not require the creation of a new file in a particular folder, or is there a way to have the resulting file just drop back into the folders and subfolders during a batch function? I just can't figure this out!
As an alternative, what other programs might do this?

You should be able to just use the html output of the Export for Web function and, if the video's converted correctly, just swap the file names at the appropriate places. Have you tried renaming VisualHub's output to what the Export for Web html wants, then placing it in the proper location?
I'm not aware of a way to batch create the html files, but if I had to, I'd probably look at automator to see if I could figure out it's text manipulation options.

WEIRD! AVCHD folder structure saved on HD appears different in Mountain Lion?

I saved all my old SD card contents fully onto an external hard drive.
Since saving I have upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
Today I opened the saved SD cards to find that the folder structure had altered dramatically.
It appears to be simplified and the "Private" folder is no longer a folder but a QT type file which when double-clicked opens in QT Player.
All the clips appear to be there and capable of being used but everything is drastically different.
Any idea what has happened . . . . is it ML related?

There seems to be no way of importing AVCHD video without copying it.
When it's in the camera you need to copy it but if it's stored on a HD there is no need but you are given no choice.

Exchange 2007, Contacts and Calendar OK , Email only folder structure

Hi, as i was reading many different topics I found that many of them had mixed answers between Exchange 2003, Exchange 2003 and 2007. Because of this mess, i wanted to focus ONLY on *EXCHANGE 2007*. That´s been said...
I have configured my iPhone with the user/pass/domain/address/SSL-ON, the iPhone connects to exchange and syncronize correctly Contacts and Calendar but not the Email. Email just shows folder structure.
After this first failed attempt I installed the certificate (Unsigned according to iphone and contains "Root Certificate")... No Improvement
I contacted my IT department , they said that Activesync was supposedly ON in my user profile and that SSL was mandatory. They also said that they cannot start testing thoroughly because it would disroupt other users. They also argue that many users are using activesync service with no problem what-so-ever. However they incouraged me to keep looking for an answer.
I couldnt find an apple guide to configuration for Exchange 2007, the enterprise deployment guide is just to vague.

SharePoint List Filter to narrow a folder structure

Hello,
The company I work for has a document library containing folders for each of their hundreds of clients. The current process now is to load all of the folders in alphabetical order in order so that the users can scroll through and find the correct client
relatively quickly. This takes longer than it should considering how many folders need to load.
I was trying to utilize the SharePoint List Filter to pull the Title column so the users could filter based on the name and we wouldn't need to pull all of the data each time the library was opened, but it seems that the title and name columns don't hold
their connection to the list. Each time I attempt to set the connections and then use the filter, I get the "This filter is not connected" error.
Is it possible to use this web part in this manner (or is there another web part that will work) or should I suggest moving to meta data instead of a folder structure if they want speed of use?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to you want filter the document library by the title column so that the users could filter based on the name and don’t need to pull all of the data each time the library was opened.
Refer to the following steps:
Open your document library-> choose Export to Excel->in excel, click insert PivotTable,
create a pivot table in Excel -> use Report filters
To filter the title column->save it and upload it to a document library
Then create a new page in SharePoint and add the Excel Web Access web part and configure it to display your workbook, (or you can add the Excel Web Access web part in your document library and configure it to display your workbook) Now
you can filter the document library by the title column.

Library creating a new duplicate folder structure

I am using 2.0 on a Mac. Recently I moved all my data files including photos and lightroom catalogs from an external to an internal drive on my MacPro and renamed the new drive with the same name as the external and changed the external name and it became a backup. Lightroom continued to work just fine, seeing all the images with no problem. If I do a "Show in Finder" it shows me them on the internal HD. However, when I import a new image or even import an image or folder that has previously been imported, LR brings it in within a new folder structure that uses the same hard drive name.
My actual hard drive folder structure for my data drive is something like HardDriveName/Graphics/Airshows/image.jpg with all my images in a Graphics folder and within that a series of folders and subfolders.
Previously if I imported a new folder, LR would show HardDriveName/NewFolder and I have several folders of imported images with that structure. It did not include the /Graphics folder because I never imported the entire Graphics folder. Now however, after importing a folder, LR created a new folder structure in the Library with a duplicate of the HardDriveName and it included /Graphics.
I went to the first folder structure and picked a small folder and made a change to an image to darken it a great deal. Then I imported the folder all over again and it imported it to the new folder structure but the dark version was not visible. I DO have automatically write xmp data checked.
If I right click on any image from either folder structure LR shows me the image within the same hard drive where my original are found.
I don't want to have two folder structures and apparently if I re-import all my images LR doesn't see the xmp data. I tried to tell RM to read the xmp data from the image I had changed after it came into the new folder but it did not show up. If I manually tell LR to Save Metadata to File for a folder in my original structure and then go to the same folder in the new structure that LR is showing and tell it to read metadata it will show up in the new folder. I have a folder with 32,000+ images and thousands of other images.
I would like LR to continue to bring images into my "old" folder structure but that may not be possible. Any help?
Interestingly I have more than one data drive. This problem does not seem to be happening with my other data drive that I also swapped to an internal configuration.
I put a pic of my folder structure at http://www.pbase.com/santa/image/101246417 to illustrate the issue. My harddrive name shows as Brandon.
I spoke too soon. LR seems to be creating a new folder structure for two of my three hard drives and adding images properly to one of my three hard drives. All three were new drives with the names changed to match the old drives.

yes I did update camera raw. I think LR 2.0 asked for that. I did a search on "duplicate" and found no answer to my problem. Anyone with a link to any useful information?

Is there an app for creating a folder structure on the iPhone out there?

I'm looking for an application to create folders (possibly password-protect them) on the iPhone, so I can add documents, PDFs, video clips etc to the phone and create subdivide them further in folders. There doesn't seem to be anything that does the right job in the app store. Is it not possible? Any feedback to help me understand would be appreciated.

It is not possible. You cannot create the folder structure you're speaking of and you cannot save files to your iPhone, even if you had folders.
There are no apps for folders or app organization. There are apps that allow you to access files from your desktop or the cloud from your iPhone. I use box.net. Dropbox and AirShare are others.
