Cleaning up old FrontPage files

Am converting over from FP to DW and am starting to clean up
(delete) old FP files in the site. Folders like Borders and Themes
and FPClass were the first to go. What else can I just get rid of?
Also, I notice that there are folders called _vti_cnf that
show up every so often. What are they and can they also be deleted?
Thanks
Tom

Dreamweaver doesn't need any specific folders to work on your
server.
Nothing like Front Page at all. A host doesn't have to
'support' DWeaver
for you to use that particular host (as may be the case if
you run a FP
site)
You create your folder system - containing your files on your
local machine
and then upload the folder structure as is to the remote
site.. the
important factor is that the folder structure is pretty much
identical on
the remote so that your links are not broken.
Even if you use the DW Template funciton, the template (dwt
file and the
Templates folder) do not need to be uploaded.
> Also, I think I remember that the underscore before a
folder name means

When would I want

It is generally not recommended that you beging a folder name
with an
underscore or a numeral.
Nothing wrong with a folder named: images_thumbs for example,
but I
wouldn't use _images_thumbs.

Probably was missed in all the 'toing and froing', but you
learn to live
with these type of threads ;)

I believe you are referring to: The Zen of CSS Design" ??
I've had it for a while... It was a good read for a once off,
otherwise I
find it more of a coffee table book I'm afraid :)
>One of the chapters is on Text and goes into a pretty
thorough discussion
>of em, pt, and px and the tradeoffs (or perhaps more
importantly, the

It was a while ago, so I'll go back and refresh my memory

  • BerkeleyDB not cleaning up old db files

    Good morning.
    We've been noticing a scenario where BerkeleyDB is retaining (not removing) old db files. These files are well outside the largest window for data retention (over a month old, where the longest window for data is 7 days). There should be no active data in these files. As they are starting to take up signifcant disk space, I'd like to investigate possible methods for manually removing them.
    Note that modifications have been made to the pruning & cleaner thread settings and they are now keeping up with active data. I'm primarily concerned with removal of these old, inactive files.
    As we see it, there's a few options.
    1. Manually rm the files which are known to be outside the longest window
    2. The old files can't be cleaned up by the cleaning/pruning threads for some reason, but there is a utility which can clean them up which we don't know about?
    3. The old files can't be cleaned up by the cleaning/pruning thread, there is no utility, and we actually will need Oracle to investigate.
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks!

  • Is it Ok to remove old .plist files remaining from deleted software?

    Hi Folks,
    I'd appreciate some thoughts from some of you experts here.
    I''m doing some house cleaning of my OSX Mountain Lion and have found some old .plist files in my preferences folder, that remain after the software was removed long ago. For Example, I found some old Color Munki files remaining from when I tried a Color Munki unit for a week or so and sent it back, unstalling alll of its associated software.
    Any harm in throwing these in the trash and emptying it?
    And I guess on a more general basis can old files left over from deleted software be removed as well?
    Many thanks

    Installing 3rd party apps can affect permissions on system files and folders. Running Repair permissions ensures all system files permissions are set to what they should be as listed in the BOM, stored in Library/Receipts.
    If you can provide me one argument as to why that isn't worth doing, I might let you keep that chicken's head...

  • FTP help! - "skipped because the old remote file could not be deleted."

    I have been using Dreamweaver to administer a dedicated
    server for a large client running 6 copies of Contribute and an ASP
    CMS on the same server. For some reason, out of the blue with no
    changes on the server side or on my side, Dreamweaver refused to
    put files (any type of file) to the server. Permissions haven't
    changed on the box, all is as it was. Here's a copy of the end of
    the FTP Log. The file default_new.asp that it refers to has never
    existed on the server before now, but the same is happening for all
    files (pre-existing or otherwise). Any help would be appreciated...
    < drwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 0 May 26 2005 YPM
    < -rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 22206 May 29 16:08 ypm.html
    < -rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 1939 Sep 17 2004 YPM-home.htm
    < 226 Transfer complete.
    The file "default_new.asp" was skipped because the old remote
    file could not be deleted.

    Apparently you get this because the remote disk you are
    trying to write to is full. Try deleting some files on the server
    and do it again. Otherwise, if it's a hosted account, contact your
    host and ask them to check available disk space on your server.
    This was exactly my problem. Logged on to the remote machine
    using RDC and cleaned out some of the clients archive files.

  • Steps to Transfer mail from Older MBP 10.6.8 to Newer MBP 10.8.5 for NON-tech person  I really just need the simplest solution.  I have cleaned out old folders on the OMBP, but there are folders I need for work

    I really just need the simplest solution.  I have cleaned out old folders on the OMBP, but there are folders I need for work.
    I am not a technical person.  I have gone online and read a gazillion "All Ya Gotta Do...." to the point where my head swims.
    I backed up my older MBP onto WD Passport Studio via Time Machine.
    I transferred all my files there and put them all onto the newer MBP.
    I expected to see Mail but did not.
    Someone said just use Migration Assistant, but I dont find that anywhere.
    Please dont say iCloud because I dont even know what it is.  Sorry, but I just dont use my Mac other than for work, meaning online access for research, and then typing reports of various kinds... and for emailing.
    Can I just hook the firewire directly from OMBP to NMBP and copy them that way??
    Sorry I am such a dolt, but I really just want easy step by step instructions, thank you.
    Would the Genius Bar at my local store be able to help me???
    Thank you,

    Okey Dokey!
    I followed the steps for the Target Disk thing, and was able to transfer everything on my old desktop, in my old pictures file...  all the final transfers regarding my documents and photos.
    BUT 
    there were no folders for Mail, and when I went to the only folder I could find that said "Mail" -- which was under "applications" it then told me that I could not transfer old "mail" to new "mail" since they were different versions...
    Now THIS makes sense,,, and I was not looking to do that... 
    but how do I find all my mail folders???? 
    Is there someplace I should be saving them in order to get them???
    Do you mind helping me with instructions on how to do this?
    Thanks!

  • Removing Old Adobe Files?

    After restoring a backup onto a new computer, I transferred a bunch of adobe files onto my new computer but photoshop did not work. I finally got it installed by downloading a trial and putting in my serial number, but it seems that a lot of these old adobe files were not affected by the install (when I click get info, it says it was modified a while ago)
    Should I delete all traces of adobe and then try installing again to be sure I have no excess files? Or are these necessary? I'm on a mac, running mavericks.

    It can't hurt to make sure you have a full, fresh install. 
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    If you do choose to clean up via the above tool, I'd suggest deactivating it first via the Help - Deactivate menu.

    Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
    You should never, EVER let a computer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you are an iMovie/ Final Cut user, both apps have their own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
    http://www.omnigroup.com/more
    Also, Find Any File
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.

  • How do I convert an old DCR file to a standard video file, like MP4?

    Preferably, I would like to use a free, easy to use program to convert old DCR files to a video format that I can upload to YouTube, etc.

    You could put the files somewhere and I can export them as QuickTime. Or you could find anyone you know who has Director. Or do the 30 day trial download
    Another approach would be to play the DCR in a browser window, and do a screen recording. But that’s unlikely to give the perfect frame rate that you would get by exporting from Director.

  • Pages 5 in Mavericks no longer opens Text files?- need to open old Clarisworks files

    My 90 year old uncle clung to ClarisWorks, Appleworks far too long
    He still has Claris Works documents he needs to open.Some so old that even AppleWorks version  6x, the final version of AppleWorks could not open!)
    In Mountain Lion, he could open the older Clarisworks- Appleworks documents in TextEdit  , save as  .TXT file and then open that file in Pages
    Tonight, after installing OS 10.9  ( Mavericks)he finds this work around unrelable : Sometimes the new Pages cannot open the .TXT message
    How do  I help him convert his old documents?
    ( he saved  names and addresses in to Claris Works documents instead of entering into his Contacts/Address Book so now he is panicky to retrieve the addresses as he starts working on his holiday greeting and gift mailings)

    Will the old Pages run under Maverick?
    IF so that will be something to try
    Old Pages did not open up the old Clarisworks docs but Pages 09 DID respond when we changed the extension of the CW documents to "TXT".
    So , Uncle can try using Pages 09
    We also can try Libre
    I can install Text Wrangler- there was some advice that it will open the old CW files.
    My concern is that Uncle IS 90years of age. He is remarkable using a Mac but he needs, wants everything to be straightforward and resists, cannot handle any process requiring too many steps
    The need to use an intermediary translation system (CW->TXT->Pages) is stressful for him.
    Such a shame that Apple did not program a translator to open the files made by its previous proprietary software (ClarisWorks and Appleworks)
    Thanks all

  • Pages 08 won't open my old pages file

    I just upgraded to Pages 08 and when I try to open the file I was working on yesterday, with the previous version of pages, it says "The document...couldn't be opened". How can I open the old pages file with the new version?

    It may be useful to trash the preferences file:
    <bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
    But I'm afraid that the document is corrupted.
    Control click its icon then select the "Show package's contents" in the contextual menu.
    The standard contents is:
    Contents
    QuickLook
    index.xml.gz
    The described message is displayed when there is no "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") file.
    It is also displayed when the "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") is badly formed.
    The index may be dropped when the documents where stored on an iDisk.

  • I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version

    I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version. I keep getting this message:
    I can only save the file as .IDML.

    This happens to ALL old InDesign files on my iMac (problem does not happen on my Macbook pro). I have saved the files as .idml and opened them again. I get the same error when I try to save the file as .indd. They can ONLY be saved as .idml.
    I never embed images and do not have font issues (file was created on the same iMac as it is being opened on now).
    Sometimes I get an error when I first try to open an old file - it ays the file is damaged and can't be opened. I try again right after and it opens fine.

  • How do I use old data files with a new installation in Oracle 9i

    I am in an unenviable position, with an unsupported database.
    We are running Oracle 9i on Windows XP. We are upgrading soon to Oracle 11g on a newer platform, but need to get our development environment working first.
    We lost a system that was running our development database without having a database export. The C drive was placed into a new system as the D drive.
    I have loaded Oracle 9i on the C drive, but I have been unable to determine how to point it to the existing data files on the D drive. My search skills may be the limiting factor here...
    We cannot simply load the drive as C, since the hardware is different.
    What are the steps to point the new database software at the data files on the D drive? Or, how do I copy the old data files into the new Oracle Home and have them recognized properly?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Are you stating that you don't know how to use COPY command?
    Can you recreate same directory structure on new C drive as exist on old C drive?
    Can you then drag & drop copies of the files?

    Are you using Mac OSX version of Excel or the Windows version of Excel?  Regardless being specific to Excel, it would be best to ask in the Microsoft Office forums.

  • I/O error trying to open old AW files

    I have hundreds of old Appleworks files from an older version (5.0) and when I try to open them with my new Intel based iMac using Appleworks 6.2.9 it says
    " An I/O error occurred".
    All I'm trying to do is open the file - not print or anything else. I can't figure it out.
    Need help.
    Larry
    imac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Yvan Koenig has said he has some AppleWorks 5 files fail to open in AppleWorks 6 with the I/O error. I've never had a problem opening any AppleWorks 5 files whether they were created on a Mac or PC.
    Are you sure that some of these files aren't ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files? AppleWorks 6.2.9 (the current version) can't open all ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files & gives an I/O error. There doesn't appear to be a way to predict which files will cause problems. I've had it happen & not happen with all AppleWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6.
    I'm not clear if it's one file or all of the files you can't open. If it's just one or a few, I'd think there is some corruption in the file. If it's a lot (more than half) & you're sure they are AppleWorks 5 files, some basic troubleshooting might help.
    First step, delete the AppleWorks 6 preferences as they may be corrupt, particularly the translator cache. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more info.
    Did you move these files from one Mac to another using a USB flash drive or other removable device? If the device is PC-formatted, some information in the files may have been lost in the transfer. Another user tip addresses this problem - AppleWorks 6 won't open my AW 5 files.
    I'd be willing to take a look at two or three of these problem files for you & see if I can figure out where the problem is. E-mail them to me with a subject line of "I/O errors." Just click my name in blue next to this post. My public e-mail address is in the biography section.
