Change time stamp interval

I have been unhappy with most chat programs available for Mac, and I'm giving iChat another try. I would like to, if possible, change the way the time stamp works. I would prefer it with every message and exact to the second. Every five minutes is a little pointless and annoying. Can this be changed?
Thanks

hi Poohjlv,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
This is not something that I know how to do.
Kent Sutherland who writes ChaX may know http://www.ksuther.com/chax/
It might be something he may add if enough people wanted it.
If you have Devloper Tools installed you can look at the .plists (with Property List Editor) for iChat where this sort of thing is stored.
Unfortunately lots of the info is actually hidden until you change it.
It might be possible to change it from Terminal simialr to the Auoresponding can be changed or the iTunes displayed info can be altered.

  • Changing time stamp format in the file receiver adapter file name

    Hi all,
    How can we change the standard date time stamp from
    filename_yyyymmdd-hhmmss-mil
    to
    filename_yymmdd_hhmmss
    i.e.,  I want "underscores" instead of "hyphens" and also I do not want the MilliSeconds.
    I read in the forums that I have to use the combination of variable substitution and mapping functions to do this, but not sure how exactly.
    Can the experts help me with this please?
    Many thanks.

    Hello Ramesh,
         You can make this possible using runtime filename creation using UDF.
    Please go though the below steps.
    Message mapping:  
    Create an UDF and include the piece of code that captures the Filename and Timestamp from source side via ASMA.
    Modify them according to our requirement by adding the <Timestamp> at the end of <filename> with _.
    Map the UDF to any of the top level node so that the modified filename will be available for the target communication channel
    UDF Code is:
    try {
    String filename    = "";
    String timestamp = "";
    DynamicConfiguration conf1 = (DynamicConfiguration) container
        .getTransformationParameters()
        .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
    DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","SourceFileTimestamp");
    filename = conf1.get(key1);
    timestamp = conf1.get(key2);
    filename = filenametimestamp".xml";
    filename = filename.replaceAll( "-" ,"_" );
    conf1.put(key1,filename);
    return filename;
    catch(Exception e)
         String exception = e.toString();
          return exception;
    Click on Advanced tab and check the Option u201CSetAdapterSpecificMessageAttributesu201D in addition to that check the attribute that are required to be captured during run time. In our case File Name and Source File Time Stamp are required to be checked
    In the receiver communication channel Mention u2018 * u2018as File Name Scheme.
    Click on Advanced tab and check the Option u201CSetAdapterSpecificMessageAttributesu201D in addition to that check the attribute u201CFile Nameu201D which will carry the modified value in the UDF .
    i hope this will help you.

  • I cannot change Time Machine interval with Terminal

    Time Machine worked every 6 hours under Leopard using command
    sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 21600
    but it doesn't work under Snow Leopard. I mean, TM backups every hour.
    In fact, I opened com.apple.backupd-auto and check StartInterval but the property is 21600.
    Does anyone have an idea or suggestion?

    make sure that the permissions on the launch daemon are correct.
    run
    sudo chmod 644 /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto.plist
    and restart.

  • Changing Time Stamp in Receiver Adapter's File Naming Schema.

    Hi All,
    I am working on a ABAP Proxy to File(FTP with FCC) scenario.
    I have a requirement to place the file at FTP with naming schema XSP_SUPPLIER_CC_DD_MM_YYYY.csv.
    I have checked many blogs which talks about Dynamic Configuration, but here the naming schema we fetch is from sender file adapter's ASMA(Adapeter Specific Message Attributes).
    But in my case sender side is ABAP proxy.
    How can I achieve this??
    Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Sachi

    Hi,
    >> but here the naming schema we fetch is from sender file adapter's ASMA(Adapeter Specific Message Attributes).But in my case sender side is ABAP proxy.
    You can use dynamic configuration to not only fetch values from message header you can use it to put values to message heade also.....you can write  UDF (code will look like below) and in the UDF you can create string with required filename and concatinate it with the timestamp...
    try {
    String filename    = "";
    String timestamp = "";
    DynamicConfiguration conf1 = (DynamicConfiguration) container
        .getTransformationParameters()
        .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
    filename = "XSP_SUPPLIER_CC_"sourceFiledValue(Supplier)addtimestamphere+".csv";
    conf1.put(key1,filename);
    return filename;
    catch(Exception e)
         String exception = e.toString();
          return exception;
    Supplier>UDF>TargetMessage
    In the file receiver communication channel check the ASMA property target filename.

  • Time stamp in PSE9 organizer messed up?

    Hi,
    I am presently using PSE8 which I like a lot, but am also trying out PSE9 Trial. I have found some anomalies when it comes to the time stamp in PSE 9 Trial.
    I know I have a 1 h difference between my camera, Canon 40D, and my computer due to inaccurate daylight savings time in my camera. Normally I shoot in RAW+JPEG mostly except for the sports program when only JPEG is used. I use Win 7 x64 Ultimate.
    In organizer the timestamp for Date Time Original and Date Time Digitized are correct for the RAW-files, but when it comes to JPEG I have a mix of correct and 1 h changed time stamps. How can this be?
    I have double checked in ACDSee and in Windows Photo Gallery and there the time stamps are correct. Maybe there is an explanation for this behavior, but until then it seems like a bug to me. My plan was to buy PE 9, but this makes me hesitant.
    I would appreciate an explanation or a confirmation that this is a bug.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your response. I agree with your conclusion. I looked into the changes a little bit more after your mail and found that .jpg files that had not been altered i.e rotated prior importing to PSE 9 did not change. I rotate my .jpg pictures "lossless" in acdsee.
    I have used PSE8 with the same procedure, but there everything works fine.
    I enclose a few samples, if I can send the raw-files, Canon .cr2, due to size. Views from picture sorting in PSE9/ACDsee/Windows Live Photo Gallary are also enlosed.
    Best regards,

    Subject: Time stamp in PSE9 organizer messed up?
    Hi,
    Organizer handles the daylight savings time and hence it would make corrections automatically. So if a file is present in the catalog that has date stamp which falls under the day light savings period, then Organizer make the corrections automatically. So the 1 hour gap may be happening because of the same reason.
    Though the problem which appears to me is that the same should happen for raw files as well.
    It would be good if you could give some more information any set of files X.jpg and its corresponding raw file , say X.nef. Please share the date time stamps of both raw and jpegs for the same images files (Date Time Original and Date Time Digitized).
    Also share your timezone information and if you have taken any of those pictures from a different timezone.

    i have a psts on my mac and the time stamp hasnt changed since i added this to the mac even though they have been imported?
    where is the data stored when i moves messages to the imported pst?
    after serval months of rebuidling and creating new identites for Outlook for mac2010 any reasons why this is constantly happening?

    I am not sure what you mean by this.
    is it ok to delete outlook ID's copy/backup as running out of space?
    If you mean you have several identities in the Office Identities folder then yes. You can delete whatever you don need\want except for your current.
    Are you updated to the latest version of Office?
    After the restore, navigate to ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/your identity and delete the file called Database. Then rebuild.

  • Need to add date/time stamp to file name without time change creating new files

    We have setup our application to save data once a trigger event occurs. We also need the date/time stamp as part of the file name. We used Format Date/Time String and concatenated it into the file name. It all works good, but as the time changes (seconds, minutes, etc.) it causes the Write to File to create a new file with the new filename. Is there a way to create the file and save/latch/buffer the time in the file name so that it doesn't create a new file for every second?
    I've attached a shot of the relevant part of our VI. It's all in a big while loop. The data save is in a case/switch so that when it is triggered it starts saving. (The for loop is to split the data up
    into 4 different files). Like I said, it all works except new files are created every second as the time changes instead of just putting it all in one file with the initial time in the file name.

    I need a loop in order to use a shift register. I cannot stop the outer while loop (because it would stop the hardware from collecting data), and I cannot add loops inside which bogs down the processor to where the app stops. I've attached a simpler version of my VI which illustrates the problem. While the button is pressed (the trigger) it should save the data (in this case just cycle numbers) into one file with the initial date/time. But, you can see that it creates 1 file/second. I tried using shift registers, but without adding extra loops I can't see how to do it. Thanks

  • How do I change date time stamp

    I've been trying to Adjust the date and time stamp on photos in iphoto and it keeps changing the date by subtracting days and minutes instead of simply changing the date and time to what I type in. What am I doing wrong?

    That is exactly what adjust time and date does - it calculates the difference between what you type in and the photo info and then adds (or subtracts) that amount from all selected photos - its purpose it to "adjust" photos to correct for a camera being set wrong or to the wrong time zone
    Batch change time and date lets you set a specific time for a group of photos with an option to add an increment to each succisive photo

  • *.eml Time Stamp - Select File in Windows Explorer Changes the Modified Date

    The Windows Live Mail *.eml files time stamp is getting changed to the current date when the file is selected in the Windows Explorer! I save backup copies of important E-mails to folders on the Hard Drive and then synchronize them with the same folders on other LAN Hard Drives for backup archives. When these E-mail files are selected or opened from the Windows Explorer in the Windows 7 OPS the Modified Date Time Stamp is changed to the current date automatically! This action creates a real problem when doing later synchronizations of all of the folders! The date will not be the original date of the E-mail and the original file will be over copied with the file with the newest date stamp. I stopped Indexing on the *.eml files and that stopped the time stamp change when overcopy synchronization, but if the file is selected during a viewing in Windows Explorer then the Time Stamp is updated to the current date again! A solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated if anybody knows of one. Thanks - - - Shorto

    The Date and Timestamp changing issue in Windows 7 has a two part fix!
    1. Disable the Indexing of the *.eml file type in the Indexing Options located by Clicking on "Control Panel" -  "Indexing Options" - Advanced Button - File Types Tab - scroll down to the .eml file type and uncheck the Box then click OK to finish, so
    that the Email type of files won't be Indexed.
    2. Delete the Registry Entry listed below, be sure to Export and Save the original Key so it could be Restored if something goes wrong!  \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertyHandlers
     and Delete the .eml entry
    That should fix the problem with the changing Date/Timestamp of Email Files. For more information read CarlS's WindowsSeven Fourm thread where I also have more input:

  • FileMonitor issue for date time stamp change.

    Hi I have an app that runs with a minor issue and I am looking for some insight for a workaround or code change.
    I have a File Monitor that checks a specific directory every second.
    Users send a batch run to this directory throughout the day. There are two types of files, .ZIPs and .DONEs.
    So for each .ZIP a .DONE is sent to notify the app it can begin to process the file.
    Here is what I receive
    /elements/process/File1.ZIP     Oct 15 08:19
    /elements/process/File1.DONE     Oct 15 08:19
    The problem I am encountering is sometimes the .DONE and. ZIP are sent and the date time stamp of both files are the same so when the monitor reads the directory it looks like there is no change so both files sit in the directory and do not process. To make this work, I usually go in and touch a file to change the date time stamp.
    This is a java app that runs on an AIX box.
    Here is my code, is there anything any once can suggest to help me out. Thanks in advance.
       * Subclass of FileMonitor, Handles the timer event
       * @param none
      private class FileMonitorNotifier extends TimerTask

          // Uses the Modifed DateTimeStamp to determine if there was a change.
          // Use a copy of the list in case listener wants to alter the
          // list within its fileChanged method.
            try
                Collection files = new ArrayList (hmFiles.keySet());
                for (Iterator i = files.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
                    File file = (File) i.next();
                    long lastModifiedTime = ((Long) hmFiles.get (file)).longValue();
                    long newModifiedTime  = file.exists() ? file.lastModified() : -1;
                    //      Check if file has changed
                    if (newModifiedTime != lastModifiedTime)
                        //      Register new modified time
                        hmFiles.put(file, new Long (newModifiedTime));
                        // Notify listeners
                        for (Iterator j = colListeners.iterator(); j.hasNext(); )
                            WeakReference reference = (WeakReference) j.next();
                            FileListener listener = (FileListener) reference.get();
                            // Remove from list if the back-end object has been GC'd
                            if (listener == null)
                                j.remove();

            catch(Exception ex)
                 m_odLaunch.logError(OdIntegrationConstants.ERROR_LEVEL_MIDLEVEL, ex);
         }

    Yes, I guess you are right, I don't care what time each file came, as long as I have both I can being to unzip and process and delete the .DONE.
    The code itself was based on if a filechanged then do work.... I could just take this out. Thanks!

                        File[] arFiles = file.listFiles((FilenameFilter)new FileSuffixMonitor(m_odLauncher));

  • Time Stamp, read from filename and change automatically

    Hi,
    while converting to an format (video monkey) which can be read by iMovie the files lost the propper time stamp. However, date and time is still part of the filename. Is there an option to change date and time within iMovie or any other app based on the file name so that I do not need to make this manualls for each individual file?

    I would suggest using the ISO-8601 UTC format.
    The only limitation is that the string value is in reference to GMT.
    The conversion of the string back to a timestamp will present the date/time on your front panel indicator as local time.

    Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

  • Change of time stamp on RAW thumbnails

    I have PSE 9.0. I shoot in RAW on a Canon 550D and a Canon G10.
    When I open a RAW file in editor, whether or not I edit that file, it changes the time stamp on the thumbnail by 1 hour. If I open it twice it changes the time by two hours, eg from 1.10pm to 2.10pm to 3.10pm. Of course, when I then re-open the Organiser, these thumbnails are out of order as shot.
    I have no idea why this is happening. Is there some setting I need to change?

    I think unlike jpeg files where the EXIF data will be embedded in the file Adobe will read the XMP data for Raw Files.
    You can open an image in Full Edit and click File >>File Info to bring up the XMP dialog. The raw tab offers a wealth of information.
    However the behavior you are experiencing seems odd and there looks to be a bug in the most recent update.
    As you say it alters the order of photos from their original sequence. I think Adobe could introduce File Name Order as they do in Bridge. This would be a useful alternative for sorting files in the organizer.
    I remember this old blog posting from 2008 which you may find interesting:

  • SMQS: when is time stamp in the "last change by" changed?

    Dear Gurus,
    Recently we are encountering issues in our OUTBOUND queue of ECC. In a certain time queues pile-up to almost 2K and are in status READY.
    *Integration is ECC <-> APO
    To understand if its a QRFC issue or a Overloaded WorkProcesses, we need to isolate each case.
    First we assumed that the reason of having the READY status are:
    1. due to the change in TYPE of the queue name (APO system) from R to U or vice versa
    2. due to the change in STATUS of the queue name
    What we would like to know is, what does the time stamp consider upon updating?
    Are those assumptions above correct?
    Also the User ID seems not being updated.
    I asked the user indicated in the "last change by" if he did some change, but responded that he is not performing any change in the QRFC for the past few days. But it shows his name and current time stamp.
    thanks and regards!
    Zeek

    Dear Babu, really appreciate your response on this.
    Unfortunately, when i look into SMQS the APO system queue was already set to R. Upon checking the "last change by" (double clicking on the TYPE) i see that the time stamp was at current date and time.
    And the only thing that can help us catch who/what is the cuplrit (user/background process), is to understand what are the factors that the time stamp in "last change by" considers. Also the user indicated in it, was saying he hasn't performed any changes that day... What bothers us is that it might be a background process as the time stamp keeps changing every time... Usually, for what i noticed, the time stamp there only register the date and time when our system had the support pack updated. but recently, it is showing that its been changing every day.
    Moreover, our basis folk just assumes that the time stamp considers both the update in TYPE and as well as the change in STATUS. He is saying that the change in activity (when ECC transfers data to APO) is the reason behind the change in time stamp. For us to prove it, we checked on /SAPAPO/CC and saw that the last update of CIF/Any changes in ECC is similar to the one in SMQS last change, so it is not a valid reason, though the time is quite near what SMQS says.
    So what we need to understand is that, was it really the CIF/any updates in Orders going to APO does trigger the time stamp change in SMQS "last change by"?
    thanks!

    Hi,
    Clearly a bug. You can try changing your Tools|Preferences|Database|NLS|Timestamp Format to match the Date Format as a workaround. Otherwise why not upgrade to the lastest production SQL Developer release (3.1.07.42)? The bug does not occur there.
