Create Archive, how to change the behavior of the default file naming?

From an earlier post on archiving via the contextual menu in the Mac OS X Finder:
"If you archive a single item, the archived file has the name of the original item with a ".zip" extension. If you archive multiple items at once, the archived file is called Archive.zip."
Is there a way to change the behavior of this?
I ask because I want to archive a single file, say "photo.psd" and when I do I get an archive called "photo.psd.zip" - is there a way to create an archive from the contextual menu and have the original file extension be appended? - in this case I would want "photo.zip" to be the end result.
Also, is there a way to change the behavior of archiving multiple files? To, say, create a differently named file afterwards instead of the default "Archive.zip" - perhaps something a little more descriptive but standard, like "YourFilesCompressed.zip" - something that would stay the same across each archive creation.
Thanks, I've been manually renaming after all create-archive's. And I do realize other applications could probably do this, but I'm thinking there must be a way to do this in the finder, no? A terminal command? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try looking at the documentation for the ditto and zip Terminal commands.

    If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
    I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

    Not sure what behavior you are exactly looking for, to move the clip and have it stop and the next clip in the direction of travel, drag the clip with the mouse with Snapping turned on in the timeline.

  • How to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line

    Hi,
    I am trying to figure out how to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line or with a script. I want to enable "Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"
    I can't seem to find any documentation on how to change settings in the Java Control Panel via the command line
    Edited by: 897133 on Nov 14, 2011 7:15 AM

    OK figured it out. This is for the next person seeking the same solution.
    When you click on the Java Control Panel (found in the Control panel) in any version of Windows, it first looks for a System Wide Java Configuration (found here: C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment). At this point you must be wondering why you don't have this folder (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) or why its empty. Well, for an enterprise environment, you have to create it and place something in it - it doesn't exist by default. So you'll need a script (I used Autoit) to create the directory structure and place the the two files into it. The two files are "deployment.properties" and "deployment.config".
    Example: When you click on the Java Control Panel it first checks to see if this directory exists (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) and then checks if there is a "deployment.config". If there is one it opens it and reads it. If it doesn't exist, Java creates user settings found here C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7.
    __deployment.config__
    It should look like this inside:
    *#deployment.config*
    *#Mon Nov 14 13:06:38 AST 2011*
    *# The First line below specifies if this config is mandatory which is simple enough*
    *# The second line just tells Java where to the properties of your Java Configuration*
    *# NOTE: These java settings will be applied to each user file and will overwrite existing ones*
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=True
    deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
    If you look in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7 for example you will find "deployment.properties". You can use this as your default example and add your settings to it.
    How?
    Easy. If you want to add *"Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"*
    Add this line:
    deployment.security.SSLv2Hello=true
    Maybe you want to disable Java update (which is a big problem for enterprises)
    Add these lines:
    deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
    deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
    Below is a basic AutoIt script you could use (It compiles the files into the executable. When you compile the script the two Java files must be in the directory you specify in the FileInstall line, which can be anything you choose. It will also create your directory structure):
    #NoTrayIcon
    #RequireAdmin
    #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
    #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
    #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
    Func _JavaConfig()
         $ConfigFile_1 = @TempDir & "\deployment.properties"
         $ConfigFile_2 = @TempDir & "\deployment.config"
         FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.properties", $ConfigFile_1)
    FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.config", $ConfigFile_2)
         FileCopy($ConfigFile_1, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
         FileCopy($ConfigFile_2, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
         Sleep(10000)
         FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.properties")
         FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.config")
    EndFunc
    _JavaConfig()
    Now if you have SCUP and have setup Self Cert for your organization, you just need to create a SCUP update for JRE.

  • Need input on creating archive pool in IXos. What is the best practise ..

    In my company we are using ixos as archiving content server. I will like to know what is the standard /general configuration which is used while creating Archive POOL in ixos. What is the Best practice
    DO we create one archive for each type of document we want to archive Like for FI doc we create one FI pool, for HR we create another pool and so on. How do we handle object which contains logs  like "BC_DBLOGS" . Do we create one archive to store all type of logs.
    Or we just create one or two pool and store every type of document in there ?..
    So i would like to get some feedback , idea what people are doing in there companies to archive different type of data and what the best practice .

    I think the best way known so far for transporting Roles is through PFCG by using Customizing request.
    I dont think there is any program or smthing for roles transport.
    Last question is the transport policy different between Role menu transport and Rôle on Data transport
    I am not sure what do u mean by Role on data transport.

  • As an update, I installed an update 5.7on my Mac laptop, now the Lightroom 5.0 has become a "Lightroom Mobile" version.  How can change it back to the laptop version?

    As an update, I installed an update 5.7on my Mac laptop, now the Lightroom 5.0 has become a "Lightroom Mobile" version.  How can change it back to the laptop version 5.7?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    LR on your laptop is still a desktop version.  It is just now able to upload to the cloud to replicate photos to either http://lightroom.adobe.com/ or an iPad that has LR Mobile installed.
    I think you probably just want to change the LR 5 identity plate back so it doesn’t mention LR Mobile all the time.  Hover over the identity-plate area, and click on the little triangle that appears, then choose Change Identity Plate.

    How to change a connection with the database in Runtime?
    My connection was made using ADF Business component (ApplicationModule).
    ADF Swing.
    JDeveloper Studio 11.1.1.4.0.

    When deploying ADF applications with database connection, you should be using JDBC data sources configured in the weblogic server.
    You could change the JDBC data sources to a different DB instance or location - by changing the JDBC data source and restarting the weblogic server.

  • How can I change the behavior of the pulldown history list?

    When you click on the little down arrow between the star and the clockwise arrow on the address bar, it seems to list the previously viewed websites in some kind of frequency of access order.
    Is there a way to have this pulldown work like IE does? That is, show me the last 20ish sites I typed in without regard to how often I have visited the site?

    If you want to get 20 sites in the address/location bar (when you click on the little down arrow between the star and the clockwise arrow) go to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config About:config] , find [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.urlbar.maxRichResults browser.urlbar.maxRichResults] and change the value to '''20''' (right click on it, select modify and put the value you want), exit firefox and restart it.
    thank you

  • How do i configure a FOR loop to have the behavior of the step Loop Type: Pass/Fail count?

    Hello,
    I'm using the Pass/Fail count set to one Pass to capture an event generated by my DUT.  I originally used a numerical compare step with the Looping type of Pass/Fail count to accomplish this.  Unfortunately the implementation changed and now I need to execute a few steps that can not be combined within one code module as before. Nor can these steps be put into a subroutine.  One of the steps executes a .NET asembly and I haven't figured out how to pass the reference to the subroutine.  When the subroutine is intered the reference is lost and the methode does not execute correctly.
    I have an evaluation function the exits the loop when the expected conditions are met. Everything works except for the Overall Pass/Fail result of the For loop.  If the loop exits due to the first numerical compare test passing, I want the loop overall execution to report as "Passed".  If the loop reaches it's predetermined number of iterations, the overall result needs to report as "Failed".  It would also be nice to have the radio button functionality of "Record Result of Each iteration".  Some conditions require a wait over a minute for the event to occur and I don't want to generate needless data for the report.
    Currently I get the pass/fail status for each For loop iteration, but only "Done" for each loop iteration.  I don't want the initial few failures to cause the test to fail.
    Does anyone know how to do this? Suggestions?
    Thanks,

    I have 2 steps in the loop that can not be combined into one step. This forces me to implement the behavior in some form of loop.  A While Loop could be an option.  I would need to pass the Step.Result.Status from the Multiple Numerical compaire step to the condition of the While Loop.  I tried to use the Step.TS.ID without success.  Some form of reference to the numerical compare step would be needed. I'm using a For Loop as I do want to limit the number of iterations of the loop.  In the case where the loop iterations are reached, the event I am trying to detect did not occur at the correct time and a failure needs to be reported.
    I came up with something based on my comments in the second post:
    1) To start with I configured a Locals.ForLoop_5 variable.  This is used to set the limit on the loop iterations and for comparison after the loop has finished executing. More on that later.
    2) The first step inside the loop invokes a method within a .NET assembly that has been packed in a DLL This method gets the required data from the DUT and stores it to a text file.
    3) The next step is the Multiple Numeric Limit step.  This step invokes a VI that extracts the data from the text file.  This step has been customized in several ways.
      i)  In Run Options, the Results Recording Option was disabled.  This prevents recording of "Failed" while the loop executes when waiting for the event to happen.
      ii) In Run Options, the Step Failure Causes Sequence Failure is unchecked.  Same reasoning as i)  These steps are not true failures.
      iii) A Post Action is configured to go to the nexxt step after the For Loop End step On Condition True with the logic of Step.Result.Status == "Passed".  This causes the loop to exit when the first "Passed" is encountered which corrolates with the event I'm trying to detect. On Conditon Fail remains set to default.
    4)  The step after the For Loop End is an expression step with everythin set to default except for the Status Expression logic set to: Locals.Loopindex < Locals.ForLoop_5 ? (Step.Result.Status = "Passed") : (Step.Result.Status = "Failed"). This step performs the overall Pass/Fail reporting for the For Loop.  If the number of loop iterations is less than the maximum it could have only gotten there by the previous logic triggered by the numerical compare passing, therefore "Passed".  If the loop index has reached the limit, then the event was not detected, therefore Failed.
    I have tested this work around with success, it just a pain to now have to implement this on my 40 some odd For Loops.
    If there is a better way, I'd still like to hear it.

  • How to change Apple Id for the cloud

    Currently my Apple ID is an email address which I have been using for decades.  In the near future the email server will be decommissioned and I will no longer be able to use it.  In preparation of the change over I want to change my current email address to an icloud email address (@icloud.com).  I have gone into the site to Manage Apple ID to change the email address but it won't let me as I get an error message that Apple ID must not use a domain owned by Apple.  How can I change my Apple ID and Primary eMail Address to an @cloud.com account without losing all the info already on my current icloud?

    First save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device by opening the photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, email them to yourself as you will have to recreate these after changing accounts.  Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud go to the settings for these apps and turn iCloud sycing to Off.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted.  (This will only delete the account from your device, not from iCloud.  If your daughter is keeping the existing account her devices will not be effected by this.)  Then sign back in with your new ID to create a new iCloud account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, choose Merge when prompted to upload the data to the new account.  Then recreate any Notes from the emails sent earlier and turn on iCloud syncing with iWork again, if appropriate.
    existing iCloud old email address with the old account.  If you still want to access it on your iPad, you'll have to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and sign in with the old account ID.  This email will be fetch only, not push.
    Once your iPad has migrated to the new account, if you also want to move your Mac to this account go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign in with the new ID.

  • How to change at run-time the type of a step?

    Hi,
    How topic title, i need to know how change at run-time the type of a step. I have, i my sub-sequence, a step whose type must change at run-time based upon the occurrence of a condition. How can do it?
    Thanks.

    I need to do this: At verify of a condition, one specific step at the end of sequence must change from statement to numeric limit test and viceversa.
    However, is right to no writing self-modifyinf sequence  unless handle rece condition on step that i want change at run-time.
    Moreover i ask myself: If for change the type of a step i need first delete the substep and later create a new one relative to the step that I want, then it is better and make more sense to create dynamically the step that i would like to have depending on the condition that occurs, right?
    Thanks

  • How to reproduce the behavior of the button "Update Total of Opportunity"?

    I would like to develop the same behavior of the button "Update Total Opportunity" but instead of being for the field "Ingress" in the Article/Product of the Opportunity was on a field which will "Amount" to each item, so that after the calculation of the total of the field "Amount" will made on a field of opportunity, as is currently happening on the field "Ingress" of the opportunity. How should I proceed?
    Regards.

    I notice that is possible to reproduce this behavior using Web Services. But now, I have another doubt:
    is possible to execute a web service via CRM OD when a new record is created (before to save)? How can I execute it automatically?
    I have seen API WS (= Web Service), to work with integration event, but I think it isn't possible to execute the WS automatically from CRM OD. I haven't idea how works "Update Total of Opportunity" button...
    I want to validate that "Update Total of Opportunity" button works as a Web Service, but in the "List of Web services use" there isn't evidence that it has used any type of Web Service... This leads me to believe that it is using some internal mechanism (workflow or default, for example) to make this automatic calculation, isn't it?
    Thanks and regards.
