Copying and Pasting file paths in iChat

Hi all,
Since upgrading some of our machines at the office to Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and iChat 5.0.3 we are having a strange issue that I hope someone has some insight into.
When all of the machines at our office ran Leopard and iChat 4, we used to send linkable file paths to folders on our server to one another via iChat so we could avoid having to write "go to Jobs, then to Current, then Posted, and the file is in there."
We would achieve this by opening up a firefox window, then dragging a folder from our server into the window. It would generate a filepath that looked like "file:///Volumes/Server/Jobs/New/transfer/" in the URL bar which could be copied and pasted into iChat and would appear as a linkable URL. Then we started using a program called Get File Path by Alpha Omega Software (http://alphaomega.software.free.fr/), a great drag and drop app which did the same thing with great results.
On machines that run Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and iChat 5.0.3 neither of these tricks will work anymore. The message returns an alert saying that the message couldn't be delivered, and that an "AIM service error occurred."
Does anyone know why this is happening? Has ichat changed the way it pastes text into message windows? These tricks were real timesavers, and it is annoying they are no longer working.
As an aside, the port number in iChat is 5190 on all machines, those that work and those that don't. This probably has nothing to do with it, but it is a little extra info.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian

Hi,
I did test this (I got distracted from looking for the thread to post to it).
I tested with A Google ID and a Jabber ID (one on Each computer) and could send the Text and it appeared as a Live link and showed where the file was.
It did not matter which was sending (10.6.4 or 10.5.8)
I tested with two AIM based Logins.
As you have stated 10.6.4/iChat 5.0.3 will not send to 10.5.8/iChat 4.0.9
10.5.8/iChat 4.0.9 can send to 10.6.4/iChat 5.0.3
I double checked firewalls. (Both allowing iChat)
I checked the router (allowing all ports on Local Traffic).
I did find this in a Console Message (on the 10.6.4 computer) though:-
Based on this info I tried deleting com.apple.ichatAgent.plist and starting iChatAgent (I used Force Quit in Activity Monitor and restarted iChat)
This did not improve things.
I have sent Feedback

  • Copy and paste file path into bridge

    I use bridge a lot! One of the most annoying things about bridge is that I can't paste a file path into bridge to browse to that file, on a network server, for example. I work at a graphics company, all our files are stored on servers with hundreds of folder levels, which makes it a huge pain to browse to manually.
    I'll usually get a file path link that i can quickly paste into windows explorer to either open the file or browse to the folder it's in. With bridge i have to manually click through to the network folder.
    This change would make a huge difference in usability for me.

    Paste your path into explorer then you can Right Click on the folder and select "Browse in Adobe Bridge CS5"
    Edit:-  you can paste the path directly into the top bar just click to the right of the path and it will allow you to paste your path in.

  • Copy and paste files from Windows Explorer

    Hi everybody,
    For a part of my application I need to copy and paste files and folders from Windows explorer to the vi shown in the picture.
    Does anybody know how to implement this with the clipboard functionality.
    Also drag and drop would be very nice (but thats maybe a later step...)
    Best regards, Helmut

    Hello Friedr,
    drag and drop is the easy part!
    Use a path control, this will naturally allow drag and drop. If a file is dropped on this a 'Value Change' event is fired! with this event you can load the data into the picture. To get a nice drag and drop functionality you should make the path transparent and resize to the size of the picture control. This will work fluently!
    To use the clipboard, LV 8 has an functionality for this, I think it is an application event.
    Success Ton
    PS I didn't see you image maybe it was removed when you did a preview these have the bad habit of removing the attachments!

  • I need suggestion about copy and paste the path....?

    Hi Everyone!
              This is Vijay and I need one  suggestion, Actualy I moved Photoshop path between two files. If I Copy and paste the path(Using Java Script) then the path size will be reduced. otherwise I Copy and Paste the path(Manualy) to other file that size only maintain. Any one tell Why The Path Size would be Reduce,using Script? Thanks in Advance.!
    Regards

    It would appear that the path is scaled in relation to the width … I don’t know why.
    And are You sure You want to transfer only from the second path on?
    What does »Do need ful.!« mean?
    You could try this, it collects the PathPoints-data and may actually be unnecessarily complicated.
    var docRef = app.activeDocument;
    var PathCount = activeDocument.pathItems.length;
    var PathList = new Array( );
    for (var i = 0; i < PathCount; i++) {
    PathList[i] = activeDocument.pathItems[i].name;
    DuPath(PathList[i]);
    function DuPath(pname){
    var thePathArray = getPathInfo(app.activeDocument.pathItems[pname]);
    var id200 = charIDToTypeID( "copy" );
    executeAction( id200, undefined, DialogModes.NO );
    var id201 = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
    var desc57 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var id202 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
    var ref56 = new ActionReference();
    var id203 = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
    ref56.putOffset( id203, 1 );
    desc57.putReference( id202, ref56 );
    executeAction( id201, desc57, DialogModes.NO );
    var newPath = app.activeDocument.pathItems.add(pname, thePathArray)
    var id205 = charIDToTypeID( "Dslc" );
    var desc58 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var id206 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
    var ref57 = new ActionReference();
    var id207 = charIDToTypeID( "Path" );
    ref57.putClass( id207 );
    desc58.putReference( id206, ref57 );
    executeAction( id205, desc58, DialogModes.NO );
    var id208 = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
    var desc59 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var id209 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
    var ref58 = new ActionReference();
    var id210 = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
    ref58.putOffset( id210, -1 );
    desc59.putReference( id209, ref58 );
    executeAction( id208, desc59, DialogModes.NO );
    ////// get path-array //////

  • Can't copy and paste files using RDP session in server 2012

    I'm running windows 8, but I have also verified on a windows 7 machine as well. We have server 2012 installed on a machine
    I use remote desktop to get into. I cannot copy files from my local pc and use paste to get them to the server. I could do this with server 2008. Is there some setting I have to change or does this not work with server 2012?
    FYI, clipboard is checked when I open my remote desktop connection window. If I connect into a win server 2008 r2 machine from the same local machine, I can copy and paste files
    just fine.

    Hi,
    I believe RDS clipboard redirection should be enabled by default also on Windows Server 2012. Is there perhaps is a Group Policy Object active that is configured to disable Clip Board Redirection? Either on the computer or the user OU. If not:
    You did not explicitly state this, but I'm assuming that you are running in Application Mode (meaning you did not install the RD Session Host role) ? If so please check the registry on the Windows Server 2012 destination server and look for:
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Winstations\RDP-Tcp\fDisableClip
    this should be set to
    0, to make allow Clipboard Redirection
    Also check the key below:
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Addins\Clip Redirector
    This should have: 
    Name
    REG_SZRDPClip
    Type
    REG_DWORD0x00000003
    If you did run the RD Session Host role, and you have done so using a Scenario Based Deployment (Scenario
    Based Deployment of RDS in Windows Server 2012 ) you will have a Remote Desktop Management Service GUI available as pat of the Server Manager with which you can enable or disable ClipBoard Redirection from within a GUI on a Session Collection level
    or you can use PowerShell
    Using Powershell to install, configure and maintain RDS in Windows Server 2012

  • I can't copy and paste files in finder arrrgghh

    Ok im not the most tech savvy person around and this is my first imac, I dont operate windows on it and am stumped. I am trying to transfer my movies onto a media player and external hard drive but it just wont do it. when I just had my previous pc all I had to do was copy and paste and am ready to scream. Does anyone have any answers????

    I don't think this is necessarily a disk format problem.  I've been noticing the same thing the past few weeks.  I used to copy and paste files frequently using the Finder but it no longer works.  I have the Copy option in the contextual menu when a file is selected but I no longer have a Paste option after doing the copy.
    All mounted drives on my system are formatted Mac OS Extended and the operation fails even when attempting to copy files residing on the boot drive to another folder on the same boot drive.  Digging around for a cause/solution now.
    UPDATE:
    The problem in my case was an application called Clipboard Cleaner that strips all formatting from text you copy to the clipboard so you can copy from something like a Word doc and paste into an email without all the Word formatting coming along as well.  It runs in the background and apparently disables the ability to copy/paste files.

  • Can't copy and paste files

    Why won't my MacBook Pro let me copy and paste files, particularly from my external hard drives (to each other) and (to my computer). They are both new and it shouldn't be a problem.
    Please help!

    Is it possible that the hard drives, which you said are new, have not been formatted for the mac?  If they are formatted NTFS (which is the standard format for new drives) you will only be able to read from the drives, not write...therefore you will not be able to cut and paste. 
    To check the format of the drive, from the Utilities folder, open the application "Disk Utility".  Select the Hard drive from the left side of that app, and then click on the "Partition" tab.  Then click on the big Partition block found under "Volume Scheme" and see what it says beside "Format".  If it is NTFS, this is your problem.
    The best solution if the drives will only be used on the mac is to use the Disk Utility Application and reformat the hard drives by selecting the drive you want to format on the left side of the app, and select the "Partition" tab.  Under Volume Scheme select "1 partition" and then for format, select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".  Then Click Apply.  PLEASE NOTE THAT DOING THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON THAT HARD DRIVE!!!!
    If the drives need to be used on a windows machine as well, you can download and install this plugin for your mac that will make it read and write to NTFS although it will do so slower than a disk formatted for the mac.  Here is a link: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g    Using this option will NOT require you to loose any data that might already be on the disks.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to copy and paste files to Time Capsule

    I thought it could be used as an external disk.
    Do you guys know how to copy and paste files directly into Time Capsule?

    I thought it could be used as an external disk.
    An external disk...also known as a local disk....connects directly to a computer using USB or FireWire.
    The Time Capsule is a network disk, since it connects direct to a network. As such, it s a SHARED network device
    Open a Finder window and look for the SHARED heading on the left side of the window. The Time Capsule icon should appear there. Click on the Time Caspule icon.
    A folder, representing the Time Capsule drive named "Data" (unless you have changed the name of the drive) will appear to the right
    Double click on "Data" to mount the Time Capsule drive on the desktop. You may need to click "Connect As" and enter the Time Capsule device password the first time that you do this.

  • Copy and paste file names from images

    I want to copy and past the names of multiple photoshop files into an email. In 10.3.9 I could select them all and copy and paste..now with mail 2 and 10.4.3 when I do that it actually pastes the image file themselves..is there something that I can change pref wise to get it back to the old way..very time consuming this way. I don't want to haveto do them individually..I hope!

    Hi CGI,
    I've been playing with it and the only workaround I found so far is:
    Drag to select the files in the finder window
    Command C to copy
    Open TextEdit
    Go to Edit>Paste and match style
    You will now have the list of file names in Textedit
    Select all and copy to your email message.
    I tried to figure out an automator workflow for it but since I have never used Automator I was kind of lost.

  • Copy and Pasting Files keeps giving Insufficient Privileges Error

    Hello everyone,
    Hope someone might be able to help. I am attempting to copy files from a USB attached to my iMac external hard drive to my new NAS drive system, which is connected through my Airport Extreme by gigabit ethernet.
    I know the NAS is using a file system that I do not recognize (its a WD ShareSpace, 4TB/3TB Raid 5 NAS), which could be causing the problem. Basically I am attempting to transfer all the files stored on the USB external to the NAS. When I copy all the files and paste them to the NAS through Finder, I get an error saying it could not be completed cause I do have Insufficient Privileges to do so. There are thousands of files to go through, but I have pinpointed two folders that are causing the problem, which themselves have thousand of files.
    The USB drive info has "Ignore ownership on this volume" checked. These two folders may have some backups of Websites, which probably include a ton of files, like scripts, cgi, php and others that have permissions set specifically from the website. What is odd is I was able to copy and paste them to this USB a while back, so it should work when transferring to another drive. I think these files may be causing the problem cause I had another folder that had a website backup, and when I removed the entire website folder, I was able to transfer what was left.
    Unfortunately I need to backup all of this, so I was hoping someone might be able to inform me of the glitch or how to rectify it.
    I did a permissions repair on my main hard drive, which has OS X on it, but this drive has nothing to do with the transfer since the files are going to outside the computer. I cannot do a permissions repair on the the external USB drive.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Tim
