Creating new file structure/naming -- what to do about existing LR catalog?

I am renaming and reorganizing all of my photo file folders according Peter Krogh's DAM system (The DAM Book) outside of LR. What then do I do about my preexisting LR catalog? How will it know where everything is? Or how do I tell it where everything is? Is there a simple way of having the catalog follow the file structure?

If you change your fine names outside of Lightroom you can essentially forget all about your Lightroom catalog...there is no way you would EVER be able to go through and find all the "missing" files such a rename would cause...If you had saved out all your edits to the original files via .xmp, you could then add the renamed files and folders all over again...
You really need to reconsider your plans...you should either do the folder/file renaming in Lightroom or start over in Lightroom AFTER you've got your folders and file organized...
But in any event, you should consider long and hard before you do anything you are gonna regret...

How to create new file extension and associate an application with it?

Hi,
I want to create a new file extension named ".emsof" and
associate any text editor with it like notepad++ in windows 8.1
Moreover all of these files should be searched by having filter of "*.emsof" like any other ordinary files.
Please guide me about hoe to do it?
Thanks.

Hi BurrWalnut,
Thanks for the help.
Will this command also allow me create and save file with .emsof extension and to filter files through .emsof extension (Like we can filter through .doc or .txt extension)???
1. I don’t know what you mean by ‘filter’. In your initial post you mentioned searching, if that’s what you mean, you can search for any extension.
2. An easy to understand example of the assoc and ftype commands is a .txt file, which we all use in Notepad:
Typing assoc .txt in a cmd prompt will return txtfile (the file type).
Typing ftype txtfile will return %SystemRoot%\System32\notepad.exe %1 (the full path of the program and %1 representing a passed parameter).
Alternatively, look in the registry hive HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for .txt and further down for txtfile.
3. If you add an entry that is later unwanted, you can easily delete it by typing assoc .emsof= and pressing Enter. Then delete the filetype by typing ftype myext= and pressing Enter. You can, of course, just delete the entries in the registry (nor recommended
for beginners).
4. Test it out now but be aware not to use extensions or filetypes that currently exist.
5. Display all extensions and their associated file types by firstly copying the following 4 lines:
assoc >"%userprofile%\desktop\assoc.txt
start notepad "%userprofile%\desktop\assoc.txt
exit
cls
Press the Windows Logo key+X (or right-click or press and hold the bottom left corner) and choose Command Prompt/Windows PowerShell (Admin). Using the mouse right-click, paste the 4 copied lines to the Command Prompt window. A .txt file is created on the Desktop
and Notepad will open and display the list. The list represents the registry keys located in the merged HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. In the left pane, look for the extension, for example .txt. The (Default) field in the right pane contains the file type, e.g. txtfile.
6. Now display all file types and their associated programs by substituting the above 4 lines with these:
ftype >"%userprofile%\desktop\ftype.txt
start notepad "%userprofile%\desktop\ftype.txt
exit
cls
Another .txt file is created on the Desktop and Notepad will open and display it. This list represents the registry keys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT further down beyond the extensions. Look for the file type, for example txtfile, then click or tap shell\open\command.
In the right pane, the (Default) field shows the full path of the program that opens it, e.g. notepad.
7. NOTE. In operation, any keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes (current user) take precedence over those in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes (all users) and both keys appear as the merged HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Any changes should be made to HKCU and
HKLM. The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT keys are intended to be read from, not written to.

Error in creating New Data Structures

Hi Gurus,
I tried creating new data structure in the R3 server using RSO2. I was planning to use the Purchasing Table (EKBE). But when I tried saving the structure this error occured/showed.
Invalid Extract sturcture template EKBE of Datasource MM_EKBE
Diagnosis:
You have tried to generate an extract structure with template structure EKBE. This was not successful, because the template structure references quantity or currency fields, for example the field name MENGE from another table.
Procedure:
Generate a view or a DDIC structure based on the template structure, which does not contain the unstupported fields.
- I have no idea what the problem is and what i should do based on the procedure. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance
- KIT

Hi Kristian,
The table EKBE has quantity and currency field refernceing field from other table to define them.
You need to include these refenced filed in the structure you add in the data source as the template.
To do this create a custom dictionary object view.
In the view include the refernce currency and quantity field from the reference table.
Also create a join between EKBE and the refernece table using the data elements that are the same.
For example, for quantity key figures in EKBE the unit of measure would be sourced by menge from MARA.
So you need to have table MARA included in the view.
The join would be on the material in EKBE and material in MARA.
You will find reference quantity and currency tab in the table definition in the Reference currency/quantity tab in the table definition.
You need to do this for all your quantity and currency references.
Once that is done use the ZVIEW to create your data source.
Hope it helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Go-OpenOffice Writer Will Not Create New File

I'm having a problem with go-openoffice writer, where it is unable to create a new file. If I open writer directly, a file appears for a split second on my screen and then disappears. This also happens if I attempt to create a new file from withing an already existing file. Strangely, I can open already existing files, just not create new ones.
I tried uninstalling and resinstalling go-openoffice, but this didn't help. Any thoughts on what might be going on? Thanks.

Yes that's my problem. I can't open an empty writer window. If I execute writer from the Gnome applications menu or from a terminal, I see the window for a split second and then it disappears, as if something is immediately closing the window the moment it opens. This also happens if I use the create new file command in the file menu, from an existing Writer file. This is not a problem with other Ooo apps. Base, Calc, Draw, Impress, Math all open new files fine. Only writer has the problem.
As a completely cumbersome work around, I can open an existing file, use save-as to create another file, and then delete it's contents.

Sure there can. Don't you see the input on the Express VI for a file? "Path To Save Report" is the name of the input you want.

Is it possible in KM to change "create new file" dialog?

Is it possible in KM to change "create new file" dialog (Folder -> New -> Text File...) on consecution of my own screens(I mean user inputs information, presses next button, then again inputs information and so on)? And if its possible, could you please tell me how to do this. I'm new to KM as well as to SAP EP...

Hi Aliaksei,
the PDF referred to mainly explains how to configure commands (within layout sets etc), but as far as I understand your question, you want to develop your own screenflows / command. First, I definitely would disadvise a beginner in the EP/KM area to start with such a task...
Anyhow, there is a one-step-screenflow-command tutorial on SDN: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/implementing flexible ui one-step-screenflow.article
For more steps, you could start decompiling a command class of a command which is more or less similar to your needs (and the underlying classes) to get further insight.
If you really should get that far and have implemented your own command, you just can switch the implementation class if you want to change the logic for an existing command under System Admin - System Config - KM - CM - UI - Commands - UI Commands - <command in question> Java Class setting.
Hope it helps

I cannot create new file (.xslx) inside a folder with right click.

I work with excel 2007 in window 7. Usually I create new files (.xlsx) by right click while I am inside a folder. But recently I have lost this opportunity. Now whenever I open a folder and want to create a new file (either .xlsx or .doc) I right click
there. But there I find neither excel file icon nor word file icon. Power point, Access, Publisher file icons can be found there at that time. I do not know how I have lost the opportunity. Being failed to create files inside a folder now I go to start button
or office button to create a new file.
But I want to have the previous opportunity so that I can create a new file (excel or word) while I am visiting inside a folder. Is it possible? Thank, Nurul Amin.

Hi,
I would agree with Repair step provided by Robert, this will rewrite all the registry keys into the computer. Please have a try and let us know the result.
Also, another quick way to rewrite all the registry keys and reregister the product is to run the problematic Office applications with "/regserver" switch:
Press Win + R and type "winword.exe /regserver" or "Excel.exe /regserver" in the blank box, then press
Enter.
You might also want to give this a try.

I keep getting write errors (-50) when I try to create new files or folders on my Gen 5 Airport Extreme USB disk.

Write errors (-50) when I try to create new files or folders on my Airport Extreme USB disk. Restarting the Airport Extreme seems to solve the issue. Any idea why this occurring? It doesn't seem to be OS specific, meaning I can't write to the drive from a Windows PC or a MacBook Pro.

Although, I would consider it rare, it is quite possible that this drive is just not 100% compatible with the AirPorts. Typically, in these cases, the AirPort will not even recognize the drive at all ... or it will, but not allow you to access it. I actually haven't come across a case where you can read but not write to a drive consistently or vice versa ... except from Windows-based computers. Sorry!

Cannot open files or create new files in Photoshop cc trial

Hi,
after getting no support from your phone support line. I am writing here in hopes that this issue can be resolved. I cannot open files or create new files in Photoshop CC trial. Please help

You can open Photoshop, you cannot create new documents. If you click file>new, the normal new dialog box opens, if you click "ok" it goes away. If you double click a PSD it focuses the Photoshop window. Nothing else happens.
For me this is a new issue today. My computer is an i7/780, more than capable of Photoshop, and has run it fine up until now. My keyboard started freaking out last night and doing things I didn't want it to. I suspect it changed a setting or broke something.
I have uninstalled and re-installed and it did not resolve the issue.
This is obviously a critical issue that needs immediate attention.

Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file. This happened after running CCleaner

Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file. This happened after running CCleaner

Hi, I've been asked to join this discussion. CCleaner is a nice tool, but if you used the Registry Cleaner that came with it, it might have done something to Photoshop's registry entries. There is that danger in using them.
One thing CCleaner does is leave a backup of the registry, or you can use Windows System Restore to go to that point before you ran the Cleaner. Let's go with System Restore. Review the instructions.
System Restore - Microsoft Windows
If you suspect a virus, I'd like to direct you here http://bleepingcomputer.com/
That would be the "Am I infected?" forum.
They have the tools, you run them, and copy and paste the logs that are generated. They are very good at this, but it is super important you follow directions and don't leave until the process is completed.

Hi Saras,
We really apologize for all the inconvenience which has caused you.
Try the steps below to check the issue.
1. Try to reset the preferences
Press Alt-Crtl-Shift on a PC as soon as you click Illustratir icon to reset the preferences to the factory defaults.
2. If that doesnt help try removing all the installed printers from the system one by one & check.
3. Also you can try to put the system in clean boot & check if the AI still crashes if you try to create a file.
In the meanwhile if these steps doesn't resolve your issues you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:
