Collect files question. Why are the paths still the same?

So I collected all of my files from a project and the new project points to all of my old paths. So is there a way to collect the files and have the project point to the new files that were collected? Not sure why they would not be connected. Or am I missing something.....Luckily I had a small project now and replacing the footage is not a big deal, but I have a really big project I'm working on now and it will be pretty time consuming in the future when I access the archived file, to replace all of the missing files. Thanks in advance

I've seen folks belly ache and go on and on about "if you offer this feature, why can't you make it work???", to the point of personal attacks on Adobe support people. To those, I just say "PICK YOUR FREEKIN BATTLES". There are quick and easy workflows that WORK. And that is the point. KEEP WORKING.
So it's just supposed to be understood that this feature flat out doesn't work and we're supposed to be roll over and be elated that we bought a $1000+ package program that touts certain features that in fact don't work?  That sounds like the Apple fanboys who still swear by Final Cut Pro X despite it being anything BUT pro.  "We don't need Bluray, Steve says so."
I think Adobe either needs to make it work, and work right, or remove the broken feature until they can get it right.  What's unreasonable about that?  That sounds obvious.  If a feature is listed as a function of the program, we, the consumers have a right to expect that feature to work.
That's like telling somone who bought a 4x4 truck to pick his battles and only drive on the interstates in the summer and not venture off road or drive through snow because the four-wheel-drive feature doesn't work... and quit complaining it doesn't work, geez!  Keep it on the nice summer highways, buddy.  Duh!
This guy has every right in the world to expect his four-wheel-drive to work because it's a listed feature of the truck... heck, it even has a 4x4 button to push inside the car... with options!
At the very least, Adobe needs to make a disclaimer of the like: "use this feature with caution, still in beta.... still.  In fact, it flat out doesn't do as the documentation states, but feel free to give it a try if you want. But please don't come fussing to us if it doesn't work; we're tired of hearing the complaints."
Or, just disable the dumb thing till they can figure it out like much inferior Edius easily did and, as much as I hate to say it, FCP7.

  • Displaying the path of the file selected by a FileChooser in a TextField

    I'm just getting started with Swing. I developed a simple dialog box that has two text fields and two buttons. The objective is to open two files using those two buttons. I used FileChooser to select the files. Now, I want to display the path of the selected files in their corresponding TextFields. I use the following code to do that.
    final FileChooser fc1 = new FileChooser();
    final FileChooser fc2 = new FileChooser();
    final TextField tf1 = new TextField();
    final TextField tf2 = new TextField();
    private void button1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
                int returnVal1 = fc1.showOpenDialog(labelPhpFile);
                if (returnVal1 == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                    File file1 = fc1.getSelectedFile();
                    String fileName1 = file1.getName();               
                    String filePath1 = file1.getPath();
                    tf1.setText(filePath1);
    private void button2ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
                int returnVal2 = fc2.showOpenDialog(labelPhpFile);
                if (returnVal2 == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                    File file2 = fc2.getSelectedFile();
                    String fileName2 = file2.getName();               
                    String filePath2 = file2.getPath();
                    tf2.setText(filePath2);
    }The above code works fine only for the first file. Mean the path of the file selected using fc1 is getting displayed in the tf1 TextField. But, the file selected using fc2 is not getting displayed tf2 TextField. Please help me.
    Thank you :)

  • Howto resolve the path to the class file

    hi @ all,
    i'm currently developing a package for ldap operations. now i want to write down all the real basic configuration for that package into a xml file which i want to save in the folder where the compiled class files are stored. my problem is that i do not know how i can resolve the absolute path to that xml file later. i mean, how can i load this file if the package is, e.g. exported as an jar file and i do not know where this jar file will be stored by the users of my package.
    can anyone help me with that please?
    thx in advance
    dialsc

    k, cool...
    looks like it goes into the right direction.
    with this statement i get the path where the jar is stored, right.
    in my current situation this is the path to the src directory which i configured my eclipse ide to store the class files under.
    let's say this path is d:\tmp\src
    my package is tdl.domain.utils.ldap
    so in fact at the moment my class files are stored under d:\tmp\src\tdl\domain\utils\ldap and the xml file too.
    first:
    that statement returns /D:/tmp/src
    as you can see it uses unix path separators. do i have to replace them with the machine specific pathSeparatorChar?
    second:
    can is simply add the path tdl\domain\utils\ldap to that one (using the according machine specific pathSeparatorChar) and will this also work when i build a jar file of my package?
    sorry for all that questions but i realy need this...
    thx

  • EMERGENCY: List of files in Recovery Area not managed by the database

    Hi,
    this is an emergency request....
    I have this data guard set up. And i accidently dropped online redo logs, standby logs and the archive log except the current online redolog.
    i actually ran to cleanup the whole directory which included the controlfile and the datafiles (was on the wrong location on ASM)
    but the controlfile and the datafiles did not get deleted. i can still see them on the ASM.
    and now when i am trying to restore the archive logs, but i keep getting error as shown below...
    WARNING: A file of type ARCHIVED LOG may exist in
    db_recovery_file_dest that is not known to the database.
    Use the RMAN command CATALOG RECOVERY AREA to re-catalog
    any such files. This is most likely the result of a crash
    during file creation.
    so when i did the below i was getting error as:
    RMAN> CATALOG RECOVERY AREA;
    using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
    searching for all files in the recovery area

    number of files not managed by recovery area is 82, totaling 168.10GB
    But i do see those data files that RMAN is complaining as shown above in the ASM.
    I HOPE I DID NOT MESS UP THE CONTROLFILE and the DATFILES
    CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIX THIS MISTAKE THAT I DID.
    Right now the data guard is running fine, the logs are getting shipped from primary and the getting applied at the DG.
    And i am able to see all the redo logs got deleted.
    But not sure how the deleted redo logs got created in the ASM (i did not create them manually)
    Thanks.

    Yes this happened on the standby database.
    I had to restore the archive logs because i deleted all the archive logs which got shipped from the primary.
    I did re-create the standby logs. But when i checked back the redo logs that i deleted came back again.
    I have no idea how they can back again. is it a feature of ASM where a mirrored copy of the files are stored on ASM and they re-create them when accidently dropped.
    Can you help me understand how the redologs got created again automatically.
    Right now the data guard is running fine but i do see the error

  • Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Here is more information and hopefully a better explanation. My version of
    LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits
    done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure,
    highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to
    the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the
    clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose
    to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the
    highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as
    little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the
    original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to
    previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit
    the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information
    reflected in the histogram.
    This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot
    and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the
    original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now
    incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't
    rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch
    the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have
    to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see
    before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming
    and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have
    noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the
    saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are
    all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the
    original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo
    in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have
    to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to
    look the same.
    Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge
    monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I
    am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in
    LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
    Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng  to see if
    this is a work around.
    Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS
    RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
    Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X
    10.10.1
    Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information
    would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

    I typed Aperture into Spotlight and sure enough it did show up.
    It looks like it is supposed to be in Apps.
    But it is not there.
    So I clicked on the spotlight Aperture and it opened up the App!!!!
    But I do not know where it is to move it!
    How can I find it?
    While Aperture is running and you are seeing it in the Dock, ctrl-click (or right click) the Dock icon.
    You will see a contextual menu. Click on "Options", then select "Show in Finder".
    And check the "keep in Dock" mark, so you will not lose it from the Dock.

    now I paste the Document using to For Loop.
    Please any one can suggest me, How can We get the Path in SDK.

    When a file is uploaded, the file name is also submitted. The path of the file is available only to the machine within the Local Machine security zone. The value property returns only the file name to machines outside the Local Machine security zone. See About URL Security Zones for more information on security zones.
    i need to know on how to get the compelete path /directory of the filename
    using <input type="file"> tag You can't. Its a security thing.
    is there any other way to get an input file from a local host aside from <input type="file"> tag?No. Not using just html.
