Copy/paste a group of finder names

hello, in the old days (sys 9 and earlier), i was able to select a group of files in the finder, copy the names as text and paste into something of my choice (email text editor, etc).
when i do this now, the items themselves are pasted into my email document, NOT the names of the files. if i want the text only, it seems i have to select the file, hit return or enter and copy/paste.
what am i doing wrong here? this is embarrassing to ask, because it's so simple. and i seem to recall it worked sometime in the past under os x. thanks for your time. marc

ticia, thanks for your help. i tried the paste in indesign cs2, and it pasted the file names, not the items. the files i question were a bunch of jpgs. textedit pasted the jpgs, not the file names.
its good to know some apps will serve as a work around, i just wish i could do it directly in mail. i frequently need to ask a client about the files i have (i work in an ad agency), and copying the names as a group is a whole lot easier than one by one, or re-typing.
thanks again. btw, what part of TN do you live in? i have a bunch of family on the knoxville area. marc

  • Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

    Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
    I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
    I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

    Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
    One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

  • Copy-Paste/Duplicate files in finder doesn't work

    Hello Everyone!
    I am trying to duplicate a file in Finder, but it seems I cannot do it.
    I can do cmd+C/cmd+V or duplicat through cmd+D but two things can happen:
    - The copied file is shown in grey and I cannot open it
    - The copied file is shown for a fraction of a second and then it disappears
    Please note that it works for VERY small files (under 1k)
    ...and my permissions are OK, just verified and corrected!

    BTW If I create a new user on the computer the system works!

  • How to copy & paste effects

    Hello,
    First off sorry I'm not to familier with Audition. What I am trying to do is export a bunch of clips from Premier Pro to Audition to take out background noise. I know how to do that, but is there a way I can fix one of the clips in Audition and simply "copy & paste" the grouped effects to all the other clips? This way I don't have to go into each clip and make the adjustments. Thank you

    If you can record a 'favourite' which will do all of the processing you want, then you can apply it to a group of files using Batch Process, which you'll find in the Edit menu.

  • How to find the folder (EBS_R12) in OEL 5 after copy/paste from Windows 7 ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I have just installed Oracle Linux 5 as Guest OS on the top of VMPlayer. Host OS is Windows 7.
    I downloaded Oracle E-Business Suite R12 from edelivery into Windows 7 in a folder(EBS_R12) on my LapTop screen.
    In order to install EBS R12 into Oracle Linux 5, I copy/paste the folder EBS_R12 into Oracle Linux 5 screen. The file size is about 50GB. After coply/paste is completed successfully, I cannot find where is the folder (EBS_R12) in the Guest OS Oracle Linux 5.
    Can any folks tell me where is the folder (EBS_R12) in Oracle Linux 5 after copy/paste from Windows 7 ?

    Hi,
    After coply/paste is completed successfully, I cannot find where is the folder (EBS_R12) in the Guest OS Oracle Linux 5.Was the copy/paste successful.
    If yes then you can do the following
    #find / -name EBS_R12 -type d -print
    (Assuming you copied the folder "EBS_R12" , But not its contents).
    Thanks

  • Copy alphabetically sorted items from Finder yet pastes them UNSORTED!!!

    This is weird, but if I copy some items from the Finder in list or column view (they show alphabetically sorted), they paste UNSORTED on Eudora or Word 2004, for instance. How to fix it, so that they are pasted also alphabetically sorted (A to Z)? Thanks.

  • CS5 does not let me copy & paste file names

    Mac OS 10.5.8     Before upgrading from CS3 to CS5, I could open a folder of files, select one file, highlight the file name and copy it.  I could then work on an image in CS3 and when ready, Save As.  With the current name of the image highlighted, I could then paste in the name I had copied from the file in the folder.  I can no longer do this with CS5.  Any idea why I can't?

    The only time I see this is when I'm having issues with Finder. Since the "copy" part is done in Finder and the "paste" is done from the Finder clipboard, It would appear to be that something in Finder is not putting the file name onto the clipboard.
    I can do what you describe with no trouble, in CS5, but on Snow Leopard.
    I've had similar troubles in Finder and with Office apps as well, when renaming files from the clipboard. Usually a quick relaunch of Finder cures it. If it doesn't, a reboot will.

  • Copy Function Group to New Name: Transport Question

    When I did this I only see in the transport Function Group with the Function Group Name under it. I would have expected to see all of the objects but I guess not?
    I suppose everything will go under thge Function Group name? ie. Includes, Function Modules, etc.?
                Thank-You.

    When I see a thread title like this, the first question I think is "Why copy the function group".
    Copying a complete function group leaves your system very open to future data corruption and other problems as patches etc change the code in the original group but do not get reflected in your copy.  A repair or enhancement to the original object has the advantage that SPAU will highlight any new versions from SAP allowing you to confirm that your change is still needed. 
    Another option is to create a custom function that calls the standard code with customer specific pre and post processing.  If both the standard and custom function are needed, then including logic based on transaction code, calling report, etc can handle this.
    It is interesting to work on the upgrade of a system where there has been significant copying of SAP code - you compare the "Z" version with the original SAP code in the pre-upgrade system and nearly always find differences due to OSS notes etc that were applied without thinking of the customer copy.

  • Copied/pasted group of components lose many properties

    (Xcelsius 2008 SP1 FP1 5.1.1.0 (Build 12,1,1,344), Windows XP SP2)
    After copying/pasting 120 or so grouped components all at once, the Value, Check box and Toggle components seemed to lose most of their properties.  The main container within the group of copied objects is a panel container that included nested groups of labels, rectangles, values, check boxes and toggles.
    Specific example: All Value components originally had a title position of "Left" and specific font name/sizes.  They also had specific X axis offsets.  And of course, each was pointed to a specific spreadsheet cell.  The copies, however, reverted to the respective defaults for all properties minus the text of the titles.  (This is of course not an exhaustive list of the affected components/properties).
    I have already had experience copying smaller groups of components and did not see this effect, so I wonder if there is a threshold of some kind here.

    Thank you, Purnima.  Despite my fears, copying and pasting smaller groups within the larger nesting appears to be working out pretty well, so this may become a non-issue for me.  Nevertheless, it would be great if a future version of Xcelsius would support larger groups within a copy and paste.

    Hi,
    WebDAV ia an extension to the HTTP Protocol - you can use it to manage content on Web Servers. It's a very interesting topic - you can get more information here :
    http://www.webdav.org
    You can access Portal via WebDAV with a URL of this format:
    http://<hostname>:<port>/<dav_location>
    E.g.: the default Portal DAV URL is:
    http://<hostname>:<port>/dav_portal/portal
    You connect to a portal in WebDAV clients using the same user name and password that you use to log in to the portal in the browser interface.
    To set up WebDAV and use it :
    If you are using Windows :
    1. Right-Click on "My Computer" & select "Map Network Drive...."
    2. Click on the "Web Folder ot FTP Site".
    3. Enter the WebDAV URL for your Portal ( in the format that I have mentioned ).
    4. Enter a name for your Folder.
    That's it ! You can then see the Page-Group and the pages as folders. You can browse, copy or delete content as you would in your C: or D: Drive.
    Regards,
    Sandeep.

  • When using Edit Find, I can only type 3 or 4 letters in the Find bar before the letters start disappearing. If I copy/paste a word into the Find bar all the letters will be there. Has anyone else had this problem?

    The Find bar opens OK with Edit/Find. I start typing in a word there but it will only allow 3 letters before they disappear and my next keystroke appears. I can copy/paste a whole word or string of words into the Find bar and all the letters remain.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == about a month ago

    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Copy&paste file names when bouncing

    too bad, after upgrading to 7.1.0 it is still impossible to copy&paste file names when bouncing, as was no problem in LP6! That´s very time consuming for me, because for film music I usually have long file names that contain smpte codes. Does anybody have a shortcut?

    Hi Orbanl, I was going to post this myself and then found your post so will add to it.
    'It used to be in Logic Pro 6 that normal copy/paste worked in the 'name' field of the save and bounce windows (even kept them seperate as far as clipboards went). Now, in Logic 7.1 the only way I can initiate a copy or paste when saving the song or naming the bounce is a right mouse click (cntrl-click)? to bring up these options. Are there no key commands for the navigation services anymore? This is a huge time killer for me as I often save 60~100 files with the same root name and was able to quickly initiate and save/bounce without stopping to pick up the mouse (now I have to switch back and forth between the keyboard and mouse to initiate, name copy+paste and modify name). Thanks in advance.'
    Over at the Logic Pro Forum, Peter suggested in response to this post that the Pro App Support update v3 might have something to do with it as his Logic 10.3.9 DOES support normal copy/paste commands! Unfortunately I am running 10.3.8 and the Pro App update v3 specically notes 10.3.9 as its requirement. The only reason I have not upgraded to 10.3.9 is I use a lot of esoteric shareware music software and I understand 10.3.9 had some 'sprinkling' of Tiger in it that at least for several friends of mine broke older app's that were running fine in 10.3.8.
    Here is the link if you are running 10.3.9.
