Copy list of selected links' filenames

I want to be able to select several links on the Links panel and copy just those filenames to the clipboard. This is so after I do my magazine layout, I can email the photographers a list of their images I've used, so they can prep and send high-res versions. I know you can copy the names with res and colourspace and whatnot from the Links panel menu, but it seems it should be easy enough to just snag the names alone.
Of course, a script is the answer. I've tried scripting it by chopping and pasting sort-of-almost-nearly scripts, but that's not worked out so far— and I'm afraid scripts are still Greek to me.
Thanks if you can help!

I think we have no access to the selected items in the Links Panel through scripting.
However you can write your own links panel with ScriptUI showing all links. From that one you could get access to the selected links of your custom panel.

"Copying Music failed. The filename was too long or invalid." for Mac

I'm getting this error when attempting to move itunes libary to new HD (Drobo FS)
"Copying Music failed. The filename was too long or invalid."
Are there any Apps or scritps i could run to locate these files to correct/delete?

Unconsolidated should now give you a much shorter list, presumably the difficult track will be either first or last in this list...
I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background. You'll probably have to disable the progress bar again.
It only works on files connected to iTunes that have identical tag info. If you're not certain it might pay to make sure first using iTunes Folder Watch to scan for files that are in the media folder but not in the library. It also has a "scan for dead tracks on startup" option with detects missing files.

"Copying Music failed. The filename was too long or invalid."

I've been trying to 'consolidate library' inorder to get all my music held and managed under Itunes so I can delete it from other places on my computer & avoid holding multiple copies (in line with Chris CA's guidance in this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2812666?start=0&tstart=0)
All goes well until I get to the 'consolidate library' step, it starts off copying files & seems to be going alright, then at some point I get the error message :"Copying Music failed. The filename was too long or invalid."
This error message doesn't help me much as I've no idea where to go from here. I've tried consolidating library twice now and got the same message each time.
I'm assuming there must be some way to either fix it or identify the file causing the issue?
Thanks

Getting list of selected Rows of a Table

Hi Experts,
Im having a table with 500 elements, among them i select few of them to process, for exmpl consider my table has 500 rows , where each row represents a Invoice Payment, among them only few i select and process those or reject those.
Now my problem is here when i select 1 Inv payment or 100 Inv Payments or 50 Inv Payments , i have to iterate throught the table node using for() loop to take the selected ones for processing, i.e i have to iterate 500 times, instead is there any single function that can give me only the list of selected elements, so iteration of 500 elements is avoided. So that performance is increased.
Regards
Govardan Raj S

What you can do is use the onSelect event (fired when you click and select a row) to copy the row into another context node which is the same as your table context node. When you have selected all the records you want to process, then use the table which you copied the selected records to instead of the one which has 500 entries. Make sense?

Importing long list of email links

I have a PDF that has a long list of email addresses I need to post.
I'd rather not retype them all or link tham all, so is there a way that I can import this, where the links will remain in place and work?
thanks

Are you absolutely sure you want to post a list of email links?
Email addresses listed this way online are typically harvested by spam bots for inclusion on wonderful discount offers on Viagra and other "male enhancements" among other less than useful email marketing campaigns.
From Acrobat Pro, you should be able to export as HTML. Open that file in DW, then copy the links/text from the generated file into the html of your page. Don't copy the whole page though. If I recall correctly, it produces some iffy code that you wouldn't want.

How do I loop through selected links?

Hi!
I'm looking for clues on how to run a script on selected links (selected in the Links window).
Like this sample script that runs an alert when links are missing:
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
for(var n = 0; n < aDoc.links.length; n++) {
     var aLink = aDoc.links[n];
     if (aLink.status == LinkStatus.linkMissing) {
          alert(aLink.filePath);
Is there something like LinkStatus.linkSelected?
Or some other way for the script to sort out the selected links.
Any input would be extremely appreciated!
Thanks!
/Peter

Hi,
I would modify line #17:
while (listSelection && cItem = listSelection.shift() ) {
cause empty selection leads to error.
Uwe,
In case of unique - troubles could depends on what are you going to do with output and how.
If we talk about dialog list only - it is much more comfortable to user just to select a link name once instead of - let say - 125 clicks (in theory).
But maybe a better idea is to return just an array of names and convert it to useful list of object (one name into many links) outside of mDialog function()

Copy list column information to another list

Hi Friends,
I have ListA with columnA and ListB with columnB
I would like to create a workflow that will copy columnA data to columnB of ListB. Please suggest how I can do it

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to copy list column information to another list.
You can use the out of the box actions to accomplish this with SharePoint.
If you only want to copy column information to another list, you can use the “Update List Item” action. In the action, you can get the current item value and set the value to another list item.
If you can to copy list item to another list, you can use the “Create List Item” action and select the other list.
If you want to delete the current list item, you can use the “Delete Item” action.

Firefox doesn't store the bookmarks as separate files in a folder, but uses a sqlite database file with the name places.sqlite.
You will have to export those favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

Copy and paste of links in landscape rotates 90 degrees

When doing copy/paste of multiple links on landscape forms in Acrobat 10, the links pasted rotated 90 degrees. How can this be fixed? I saw a post with the same problem for Acrobat 9 Pro, and they were able to use ctrlC/ctrlV, but that does not work for us. We have maps with MANY links and the maps get updated frequently, so we have to move the links over. It is way too time consuming to have to recreate all the links every time the map changes. It works fine in portrait version, why is there a problem with landscape? Please help!!! Lisa

It was printed to .pdf from Autocad which always prints portrait, we then rotated the map to landscape.

Auto-populating Infopath fields from a Sharepoint list after selecting a drop down

I currently have two lists one titled 'Book of Work' which holds details around on-going projects and the other titled 'Book of Work Amendments' which are requests submitted by users to change project details (through an infopath form).
There is a column in the BoW Amendments list entitled 'Select Project' which has a lookup to 'Project Name' in the BoW list. The aim is that when a user chooses an option from the 'Select Project' drop-down, other fields in the form such as 'Project Manager',
'Project Description' will be automatically populated with data from that row in the BoW table.
I have connected both Sharepoint Lists as data connections with BoW Amendments being the primary and BoW the secondary. If we take the Project Manager field as an example the method I have attempted is as follows:
. Create a rule with condition Select Project is not blank
. Action - Set a field's value: Field: Project Manager (BoW Amendments - Primary) Value:
Project Manager (BoW - Secondary) Add Filter: Project_Name (BoW - Secondary) =
Select Project (BoW - Primary)
Currently this is not populating the field when the project is selected in the drop down, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Josh,
This should be straight forward. You do not need BOW Amend data connection. You are creating requests in this list so this will be your Main Data Connection.
When creating the rule on the drop down, select Action:
Condition: anytime the value changes, Set a field's value - Project Manager (Main); Value - Project Manager(BOW) where Project[BOW] = Project [Main]
Hope it helps.

How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service

Hi,
How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service.
Both the Lists are in different Web applications.
Regards, Shreyas R S

Hi Shreyas,
From your post, it seems that you are using SharePoint 2013 workflow platform in SPD.
If that is the case, we can use Call HTTP web service action to get the item data, but we cannot use Call HTTP web service to create a new item in the list in another web application with these data.
As my test, we would get Unauthorized error when using Call HTTP web service action to create a new item in a list in another web application.
So I recommend to achieve this goal programmatically.

How to Copy list item attachment to document library in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
How to Create a folder ("List Item - Title Name") in Document library and copy list items Attachments to the same folder in SharePoint 2010,thanks in advance.
Regards,
Selvan.J
Selvan J

Hi,
You should first check whether the folder exists in the library, if the folder not exists, then create it.
I had modified the code, you can use the following code snippet to achieve it.
private void EventCopyFileWhenItemCreatedOrUpdated(SPItemEventProperties properties)
SPSite site = new SPSite(http://YourSiteName);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPList doclibList=properties.Web.Lists["YourLibName"];
bool foundFolder = false;
if (doclibList.Folders.Count>0)
foreach (SPListItem fitem in doclibList.Folders)
if (fitem.Title.Equals("FolderA"))
foundFolder = true;
break;
if (foundFolder == false)
SPListItem folder = doclibList.Folders.Add(doclibList.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl, SPFileSystemObjectType.Folder,"FolderA");
folder.Update();
string fUrl = doclibList.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl+"/FolderA";
SPFolder myLibrary = web.GetFolder(fUrl);
if (properties.ListTitle == "YourListName")
SPListItem sourceItem = properties.ListItem;
properties.Web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
//get the folder with the attachments for the source item
SPFolder sourceItemAttachmentsFolder =
sourceItem.Web.Folders["Lists"].SubFolders[sourceItem.ParentList.Title].SubFolders["Attachments"].SubFolders[sourceItem.ID.ToString()];
//Loop over the attachments, and add them to the target item
foreach (SPFile file in sourceItemAttachmentsFolder.Files)
if (CheckFileNameExist(file.Name , properties) == false)
byte[] binFile = file.OpenBinary();
myLibrary.Files.Add(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(file.Url) , binFile);
private bool CheckFileNameExist(string fileNameInFileAttach, SPItemEventProperties properties)
bool flag = false;
SPList myDocumentLib = properties.Web.Lists["YourLibName"];
SPQuery spQuery = new SPQuery();
SPListItemCollection items = myDocumentLib.GetItems(spQuery);
foreach (SPListItem item in items)
if (fileNameInFileAttach == item["Name"].ToString())
flag = true;
break;
return flag;
Thanks & Regards,
