Create folders and navigate through server folder structure in Linux

Hello,
I want to know if there are any examples on how to reate folders and navigate through server folder structure in Linux OS. I currently can navigate trough Windows, but need to be able to do it in Linux, by using a GUI for it.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Bebeto,
Would you please clarify your question a bit for us? Are you trying to implement something like Windows Explorer in your application? Also, are you looking for a tree-like display structure, or list of folders that you can drill down into (i.e. double click to enter into that that folder). My understanding from your comments is that you have implemented something like this in Windows, but not Linux. It this correct? Also, are you looking for advice on the GUI creation side of things, or the programmatic access/creation of files and folders? The more you can clarify your question for us, the more the community will be able to provide feedback and suggestions to help you get on track qiuckly.
Have a great afternoon!

View and Navigate through PDF´s on a DB2 SQL Query

Hello,
We need to create a windows forms application in .Net to view and navigate through pdf´s that are located on a DB2 Express SQL database using the Acrobat SDK or PDF Library.
The idea would be to query the SQL table and the result we should be able to view and navigate through by using the viewer procedures from the SDK without having to send the PDF files to a temporary folder on the hard drive.
So for example, if the query returned 20 pdf´s, we should be able to navigate and view these pdf´s on a windows form connecting directly to the query via streams or a data source.
We assume that what we need is some sort of procedure to connect the viewer to the query through a data source.
Please help us to research about this and determine if this is possible.
Thanks.

Hello lrosenth and thanks for your reply.
Our goal is to develop a Windows Form in .Net where we could view the pdf without launching Acrobat.
I guess you mean that we should develop a plugin in C/C++ for Acrobat, but that is not what we intend.
Is there a way to develop a function in .Net that will allow a Windows Form to read a stream with a pdf using Adobe ´s SDK or PDF´s library?
If so, would you be so kind as to point us to some reading material?
Regards

How to create folders and sub folders in numbers on my mac book pro?, how to create folders and sub folders in numbers on my mac book pro?

I am new to Mac and numbers how do I create folders and sub folders on my mac book pro ? I have created folders on my ipad3 but I cant seem to make a sub folder ?
Can any one help ?
Thanks in advance!

To create a folder either select New Folder from the Finder's File menu or the keyboard equivalend command-shift-N. Select that folder and do the same. Viola! You have a folder inside a folder.

How can I batch Save For Web and maintain a multilevel folder structure?

First... I am using an old version of Photoshop.... 6.0 to be exact. If your answer is to buy the newer versions, I respectfully say I know that's AN answer, but I'm looking for something that will work with my setup. The version we have works just fine for the very few things we need it for, and we use new versions of InDesign and Acrobat for all else.
So here's the challenge:
We have a weekly magazine featuring 1,200 plus photos of cars for sale, each saved in a folder named for the sales rep, week and day. I must maintain these folder structure throughout the process, as the files names are duplicated by cameras and across reps. So I cannot dump all batch converted pics into one single folder, yet I need to reduce the Quality setting which I find when completing a Save As in Photoshop.
So I want to batch convert all the photos in multiple folders, some 3 folders deep, all at once.... reduce to 8 inches across, change to 72dpi, and reduce the quality slider to 5, which creates a nice 60-90K file. BUT.... it wants to save all of them in a particular folder. I need to just overwrite the original file with the new smaller one.... or save the new small version into the same folder the big one is in, but have it work with the "include all sub-folders" option in batch.
A sample File system .... 4513 Photos - Color <day of week> (3 folders) - <disk number><rep>Color (20 folders) - actual photos.
After converting, we push up the final level of folder to our website and that organization allows us to use them there the way we need. The uploading to the site and batch functions are done 3 to 4 times per week.... on different days.
Is there a way to reduce the quality (compression) of the jpgs that does not require the creation of a new file in a particular folder, or is there a way to have the resulting file just drop back into the folders and subfolders during a batch function? I just can't figure this out!
As an alternative, what other programs might do this?

You should be able to just use the html output of the Export for Web function and, if the video's converted correctly, just swap the file names at the appropriate places. Have you tried renaming VisualHub's output to what the Export for Web html wants, then placing it in the proper location?
I'm not aware of a way to batch create the html files, but if I had to, I'd probably look at automator to see if I could figure out it's text manipulation options.

Need help creating folders and files in Pathfinder

Hi, I have tried the Pathfinder forum but it's a ghost town over there. I don't know if this is a PF or Finder issue yet.
I've just installed Pathfinder 5.2.2 on an iMac running OS 10.5.8 at my new job.
The problem is I can open files and folders from within Pathfinder but I can't create any new files or folders from within Pathfinder, and I also can't drag anything from the drop stack to a new location either. I've made sure to set permissions for read/write on my Mac HD and on the PF application itself, and I've repaired my permissions, and also run Cocktail, restarted the mac, quit PF etc. Still nothing.
Anything that could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kappy,
When I try to move a folder or file, or create one, nothing happens at all. It's as if I never did anything. I am able to open files from within Pathfinder and navigate my Hard Drive, but I cannot create or delete files.
I posted on their forum, which is what they suggest. I've used Pathfinder for several years, I have no questions on the actual interface, but I wonder if there might be a permissions issue on this particular mac.

Move a folder, sub-folders, and documents under that folder from one document library to another within a Workflow

Hello,
I'm building a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010 (Unfortunately we are not on 13 yet), and in that workflow I need to move a folder (with all it's sub-folders and items) from one document library to another document library.
I tried a copy item but that kept failing, I checked content type, columns, and permission and it all looks good.
the other option I started looking into is to Create the folder in the document list and them move all the items under that folder to the new folder. However I can't figure out how to loop through each items in that folder.
Has this issue been addressed? or does someone has a solution.
I looked and searched and all I found was tutorials on moving single items into a folder, but not entire folders.
Thanks
Hani

Why to take pain in creating a workflow that copies folders, sub-folders and all of its contents from one document library to another.
Simply open your source and destination document library in Windows Explorer mode and start copying your folder, sub-folders and contents that you want to copy out of the box.
You will find "Open with Explorer" button under the Library tab on the ribbon of document library.

Accessing the folders and items through Portal API

Hi,
I am working for a customer who is currently using Oracle Portal 3.0.x (9iAS Release 1) and uploaded/stored a lot of MS Office content (thousands of documents). They are evaluating Oracle Files as the document management application. They would like to automate the process to move the documents from Oracle Portal Content Areas to Oracle Files.
Is there an api through which i can browse through the folder hierarchy (so that i can create the same in files) , and access all the items including the content stored in DB as blob in WWDOC_DOCUMENT$ table ? If there is not one , what are the tables and the relationships i should be looking at ?
Thanks in advance,
Prakash.

The main reason I've heard for people wanting to do this is that Files supports desktop integration (e.g. drag and drop or save/load from Windows). However, if you're looking for this feature it is available in Portal Release 2 using the WebDAV (Web Folders) integration.
You can also use WebDAV to copy between Files and Portal, however WebDAV is not available in Portal Release 1.
The content area views and APIs for Release 1 are fully documented in the PDK (these views and APIs will also be supported for Release 2 starting with the April PDK). Note that Files does not have equivalent APIs, so you will have a difficult time moving content from Portal to Files programmatically.

Bridge Email Folders Don't Match Email Folder Structure on my Torch 9850

Hi,
Wondering if anyone else has run into this.
Shortly after getting a new BB and the PB and using them, I re-arranged my folders in lotus notes to make it easier to sort through them on the BB and PB. After rearranging, the folder structure updated on the BB, but it isn't full reflected on the playbook (orphan folders, old folder that were deleted when re-arranging).
Any ideas or solutions? I've tried forgetting the bridged phone, and wiping the playbook back to factory, but the folder structure remains?
Thanks in advance for any ideas

This is not the case, I have 11 email accounts set up in TB and all are POP.
And as I attempt to delete partial folder lists, as TB will not import an entire set of folders, to try another approach, TB is so slow!
It will only allow me to delete an individual folder, nothing with a subfolder . . . this thing is very hard to work with and unresponsive!!
Perhaps I'm trying to use the wrong email program, TB!!

HT204655 Can I create folders and subfolders in the new Photos on my mac?

I've just started using the new Photos app in the latest Yosemite update on my Macbook Pro.
Until recently I was using Aperture to sort all my photos into folders and subfolders - I think they were called "events" or "projects" in Aperture.
In Aperture, I was creating folders like "1993", "1994", "1995" or "Best of My Family".
Then I had subfolders within those folders - things like a "Christmas 1995", and perhaps some subfolders within that like "Christmas 1995 at Home", "Christmas 1995 at Parents" as well as things like a "favorite 1995 pics".
And sometime non-date related folders - things like "Children as Babies" subfolder or "Parents on Vacations" subfolder within the "Family" folder.
These folders and subfolders seem to have been carried through to this new Photos app as "iPhotos Events".
But I dont seem to be able to continue sorting - like creating new subfolders within folders.   For example, in Photos I don't seem to be able to create an album within in an album.
Am I missing a trick here?
Is Photos unable to do this?
Or, is the community please able to suggest another alternative solution - like, would using the Pictures folder in Finder be better, perhaps in conjunction with DropBox instead of iCloud?
Or another photo organizing app that is able to sort folders and subfolders?
Thank you for your help in advance!

One way to create folders, subfolders, albums, is to make sure you have your Sidebar showing (menu - view > sidebar) and then use "Control + mouse click" on a folder you want to create a subfolder or album in to bring up the contextual menu.   You can also do these things in the upper right of the Photos window using the + icon but that always seemed to put those items in the top level of the sidebar so I would have to drag and drop them to the folder where I wanted them to go.

Accessing Windows Drive its folders and files through KM

Hi All,
I have portal server installed in my laptop with KM, i would like to access windows C drive with all folders and files in my local machine what are the configurations i have to do.
One more thing
In real time scenario can we use CM repository, my requiremtn is to store documents of diffrent king which repository we can use which data base what configurations we have to set, basically what is the difference between internal and external repositories.
regards,
Murali

Hi Murali,
Internal repositories are those which come created in the KM like etc, documents and many more.
External repositories are folders on diff locations (either on server or at other system) which are mapped to KM as repositories.
Now. about ur requirement : You can try mapping the path c:\ as a folder in KM by making a File Repository manager.
For storing different kind of documents you can make different folders in Windows and map them as repositories by configuring File Rep managers for them
See this[ link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e3/92322ab24e11d5993800508b6b8b11/frameset.htm] to know about configuring a file repository manager.
I hope it helps.

Using AppleScript to create folders and place files in them

Hi guys,
I've been reading through the forum for the better part of the last 6 hours wracking my brain trying to figure out how to accomplish what I'm trying to do. I've been playing around with Automator and also trying to decipher some Apple Script samples that were posted on here, but I'm really having no luck at all. I'm sure you've all been there where you feel like you're on an endless search to solve a problem and it feels like there's no hope. I've tried every single possible thing I can and I'm getting close, but it's never quite right.
Here's what I'm trying to do, and hopefully some kind soul will help me out. I'm deseperately trying to figure this out, and any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated!
I have a bunch of PDF files that I scan, in the hundreds. After I've scanned them I'm left with something like this:
1234567_Elephant.pdf
1234567_Duck.pdf
1234567_Cat.pdf
1234567_Cat_01.pdf
1234567_Dog.pdf
3431233_Elephant.pdf
3431233_Dog.pdf
3431233_Dog_01.pdf
3431233_Duck.pdf
etc...
So they have a 7 digit ID, then the file name which is always one of the 4 options (I'm just using the animals as examples, but they would be other words).
What I'd want the script to do is categorize these into folders based on the ID number, and then based on the "animal" and then the files within them. Note, some files have an _01 or _02 etc... appended to them. I don't know if this makes a difference.
So after running the script I'd love to see
1234567 (Folder)
     Elephant (Subfolder)
          1234567_Elephant.pdf (File)
     Duck (Subfolder)
          1234567_Duck.pdf (File)
     Cat (Subfolder)
          1234567_Cat.pdf (File)
          1234567_Cat_01.pdf (File)
     Dog (Subfolder)
          1234567_Dog.pdf (File)
3431233
     Elephant
          3431233_Elephant.pdf
     Dog
          3431233_Dog.pdf
          3431233_Dog_01.pdf
     Duck
          3431233_Duck.pdf

well, using a couple of stock handlers I had lying around, and making the following assumptions:
that an underscore is always the delimiter used
that the file name is always a single word like 'dog' or 'cat' (if you have multiple word file names, the script needs to be modified some)
this should do what you ask:
set mainFolder to (choose folder) as text
tell application "System Events"
-- get all the unsorted files, and loop through
          set unsortedFiles to every file of folder mainFolder whose visible is true
          repeat with thisFile in unsortedFiles
-- split the file name on underscores and periods
                    set fileNameBits to my tid(name of thisFile, {"_", "."})
-- first item of list is id, make/get correct folder
                    set IDFolder to my checkForFolder(mainFolder, item 1 of fileNameBits)
-- second item of list is file name, make/get correct folder in id folder
                    set groupFolder to my checkForFolder(IDFolder, item 2 of fileNameBits)
-- move file
move thisFile to groupFolder
          end repeat
end tell
to checkForFolder(fParent, fName)
-- subroutine checks for folder, creating it if it doesn't exist
          tell application "System Events"
                    if not (exists folder fName of folder fParent) then
                              set output to path of (make new folder at end of folder fParent with properties {name:fName})
                    else
                              set output to (path of (folder fName of folder fParent))
                    end if
          end tell
          return output
end checkForFolder
on tid(input, delim)
-- subroutine for handling text item delimiters
          set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, delim}
          if class of input is list then
                    set output to input as text
          else
                    set output to text items of input
          end if
          set my text item delimiters to oldTID
          return output
end tid

Can automator create folders and organize files?

I produce a large number of files that must all be moved into appropriate folders manually, but in a consistent manner every time. The files are titled with a keyword for the folder that needs to be created for them. There are just five consistent folders.
Can automator be made to automatically create these folders and move the appropriate images into them? Perhaps from the right click menu?
I've tinkered a little bit, but only been able to produce erratic behavior. In all my experiments it always stalls on the 'create new folder' step, although it does create a folder, though usually not where I needed it to go.
Any advice would be really helpful! Thanks!

Ok, so while I edit my files in my Mac that will occupy some space on its hard drive that will be backed up in the TC. Does that mean that I will occupy two hard drives on the same stuff?
Exactly. That's kinda the definition of a backup. When (not if) something awful happens, like your Mac being lost or stolen, or the HD failing or getting corrupted, or you accidentally change or delete some stuff, you have a backup you can recover.
What will happen when my Mac's hard drive is completely full?
Don't let it. Delete things you don't need. If you can't delete enough, as Neil says, get an external HD for the "overflow" that won't fit, then let Time Machine back up both your Mac and the external. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for more info.

Can you create folders and put similar apps in the folders?

It would help me keep them in order.

Sure you can. Tap and hold down on any app icon until all of the icons "jiggle". Then drag one icon on top of another icon and a folder will automatically be created. You can name the folder as you see fit, but the iPad will give it a name on its own, based on the type of apps that you first create the folder with.
When you are done - tap anywhere on the screen - other than in the folder itself - and then tap the home button and the apps will stop jiggling. You can put up to 20 apps into a folder.

Having problems creating folders in my motion template folder

trying to create titles and transition folder in my motion template folder for my plugins. fcpx and motion 5. it funny cause my generator folder shows my gen. plugins

I have the same problem. For example, create a folder called Images. Delete the folder. Now there is nothing in the folder. Try to create a new "Images" folder. It won't let you!
You can log out. Log in. Try from a different computer. You cannot use Images as a folder name again if you used it once and deleted it. Also, I tried to drag in a folder. Doesn't work. Getting frustrated with file management in Creative Cloud. It isn't intuitive. For example, how do you delete a file or folder? There is no trash can, no delete. You have to click on a checkmark that says "batch." I don't know about you, but why would anyone think to do a batch action on one file? Doesn't the name infer you're going to perform an action on several files? This is a basic UI flaw that needs to be addressed.
Also, if you have an updated file, or folder of files that need to go to the cloud, they cannot save over the current content. Without any user notification it creates a second folder, or a second file and numbers it. Now I'm confused. Did what I just uploaded get the number or was the original file numbered? Anyway, now I have two sets of files in the cloud and I'm left wondering which is which.
I feel like a beta tester and I'm paying $30 a month for the privilege! Please help!
