Cs4 Recent documents file path length?

This is bugging me. Why, under Recent Documents, do some files have the entire file path starting with the hard drive name > user name > ad nauseum and other files have just the document name?
Is it because I opened some within the program and the others from the finder? (I open and close so many, I never keep track)
Apparently there is no preference option to chose one format over the other.
Annoying, that's all.

One idea -- don't know if this fits your situation. On other Adobe programs I have seen this when the same document name was opened from different folders. For example if I had a file DocA that was only opened from one folder it would appear in the list as DocA with no path; but if I had opened a file named DocB from folder 10 then later from folder 12, I would see two entries with paths showing those folders.

CS2/CS3/CS4: Cannot get file path in Unicode of the current document on Windows

Hi All,
In my automation plugin I need to have full absolute path of the opened document with any possible non-English letters. Using SDK examples Listener and Getter that come with Photoshop SDK the full absolute path which I obtain is in the default ANSI code page (CP_ACP) and I can convert it to Unicode using MultiByteToWideChar() API. However this works well when I have corresponding to document name language set in the "Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced -> Select a language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use." For example if name of the document has Russian letters and chosen language in "Regional and Language Options" is also Russian the described conversion works well. If I change "Regional and Language Options" to English for example, full path returned by Photoshop SDK API (AliasToFullPath in PIUFile.cpp) for the document with Russian letters will contain "????????.psd" symbols.
So I need to have an ability to get absolute file path in Unicode. Is it possible in Photoshop CS2/CS3/CS4 for Windows? I have searched forum and SDK but could not find info on it.
Is it possible to have native HANDLE of the opened file to get file info using Windows API?
Please advice.
Below given slightly modified code from Photoshop CS3 which I use to get absolute file pat of the opened document.
Thanks and regards,
Sergey
std::string outFilePath;
int32 theID = 0;
SPErr error = kSPNoError;
error = PIUGetInfo(classDocument, keyDocumentID, &theID, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
Handle theFileHandle = NULL;
error = PIUGetInfoByID(theID, classDocument, keyFileReference, &theFileHandle, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
int32 length = sPSHandle->GetSize(theFileHandle);
Boolean oldLock = FALSE;
Ptr pointer = NULL;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, true, &pointer, &oldLock);
if (pointer != NULL)
outFilePath = (char*)pointer;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, oldLock, &pointer, &oldLock);

Hi All,
Does anybody know, whether it is possible to get Unicode file path of the current document in Photoshop via Photoshop SDK API or without them?
Thanks,
Serhiy

Changing Linked FrameMaker Document File Path

I have moved my FrameMaker document to a new directory. Can I update the file path to the document so that the files are updated correctly? I have checked the property settings for the linked project and it appears that I cannot change the file path. Is my only option to link to the file in the new directory and remove the existing project? If so, will that destroy my existing TOC?
Thanks!

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, before posting my question this morning I tried the route you suggested and the result was repeated crashes and error messages. Here is what I did:
I removed the original linked FrameMaker file.
I restored the links to point to the new file.
This resulted in the aforementioned behavior. I did not try updating the indvidual chapters - the RoboHelp appplication kept flashing and crashing.
For the record, I am using the latest version of RoboHelp 8 and FrameMaker 9. They are both part of TCS 1.3.
I will try the update again and will let you know if it is successful. Thank you again for the suggestions.

Max length of VI file paths and file names

Hi,
Is there a maximum allowed length of VI file paths and file names in LabVIEW? I'm running LV 6.0.2i on NT and is trying to save a VI inside a LLB and LabVIEW crashes each time. I have also tried to copy the VI from the LLB to a temp folder with the Librarian VI, but LabVIEW crashes as well. The total length of the file path is around 260 characters and I strongly suspect the file path length in combination with LLB because when I use a shorter path the problem disappear. If I use a long path without LLB (just regular VIs) a warning appear "Invalid file name" instead of LabVIEW crashing.
Does anybody know the solution to this problem or must I use shorter filepaths? Perhaps it depends on which platform I am running
LV on?
Sincerely,
Mattias Ericsson

I believe windows has a 255 character pathname (file+path) limit. We once
had that problem because we had a long filename and a longer pathname.
Moved the directory up a couple levels and problem solved.

File path limitation across lan shared storage

Friends,
I realize that the mac os does not have a file path limitation and a file name limit of 255 char.
But, Is there a path length limitation specific to adobe products ( in order to make projects more cross platform ).
I have adobe InDesign and have projects (files) on a NAS I am experiencing difficulties with the files on the nas.
[ crashing the app , running slow ] I am wondering if having files nested 10 -14 levels deep could be a problem.
My file path length are about 80 - 200 char.
the nas is a buffalo terrastation [ xfs ] attached 1000 mbps
thanks

Service that run Application Server specifies in Log
On Tab, Log on as Local System account.
And when I run the servlet through its url, user.name
JAVA property is SYSTEM.
When I log on to the server with Admin user and invoke
the servlet's doGet method from other java class
locally, writing is succeeded. user.name JAVA property
in this case (when I logged on) is Admin.
Probably I should be logged on to the system before I
can perform operations with files on the local
network?So Admin has permission to write to that share but 'Local System' doesn't.
Option 1 (recommended): Check out jCifs, if you use that you can specify a different user to write to the share from that which the system is running under.
Option 2: run the service as a user who does have appropriate permissions.
Option 3: run the application server in the foreground instead of as a service.

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path using any of these perfectly normal methods:
1. double-click file in the Finder (e.g in a Folder on your Mac or on your Mac desktop etc.)
2. select file and choose "File... Open" command-o in the Finder
3. drag file to the application icon in the Finder.
4. Select file in Bridge and double-click, choose File.. Open.. or Drag icon to InDesign icon in dock.
If you try to open an ID file named with a "#", you will get an error message "Missing required parameter 'from' for event 'open.'"
This happens to any InDesign file that has a "#" (pound sign, number sign, or hash) in the filename or in the file path (any parent folder).
To reproduce
Name an InDesign file Test#.idd Try to open it in the Finder or Bridge (as opposed to the "Open" dilaog of InDeisng itself).
"Solution"
The file WILL open using File... Open... command-o while in InDesign application.
Rename the file or folders that have a "#" (shift-3) in the filename.
Report to Adobe if it bugs you.
This does not occur in "plain" Leopard 10.5 nor Tiger 10.4
Untested in Panther or before and
Untested with CS3 and earlier in Snow Leaopard.
Anyone have those and want to try this... ?

In case this really bothers you: we've added a workaround for this into Soxy. If you enable the option, these documents will open fine on double-click.
You need Soxy 1.0.7 from:
http://www.rorohiko.com/soxy
Go to the 'Soxy' - 'Preferences' - 'Other' dialog window, and enable 'Open InDesign via Script'
(Irrelevant background info (it's all invisible to the user): the workaround works by special-casing how Soxy opens documents in InDesign: instead of using AppleScript, Soxy will use ExtendScript to instruct InDesign to open the document - which works fine).

Issue with length of file paths - Windows & C++ plugin

Hello,
I've got an issue that just popped up on my OCR plugin I've been working on that I suspect is related to the length of the filepath.
I'm getting the following error that is being caught and logged when trying to open a file (filename changed for security purposes):
Error Opening File: D:\aVeryLongFilePath.pdf
Exception info: This file cannot be found.
The entire string, including the D:\ part, is 266 characters long. I cut down the length of part of the path one by one and it was able to open and OCR the document when the length was 259 characters.
I know there's a MAX_PATH variable in Windows and/or there's some kind of limitation for file length. Note that I can open the file in Acrobat using File->Open and run OCR on it individually using the built-in Recognize Text function, but if I try to Recognize Text for Multiple files and choose "Add Folders", the file in question doesn't show up in the list of files to be batch OCR'd (even though it is there). Interestingly, choosing "Add Files" from the Recognize Text->In Multiple Files does work. So Acrobat itself has at least some issues opening the file using some of it's features.
Here's how I'm opening the document:
     string pn;               // assume this is initialized, I'm just putting this here to demonstrate what type it is
     pathName = pn;
     ASAtom pathType = ASAtomFromString("Cstring");
     asPathName = ASFileSysCreatePathName(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), pathType, pn.c_str(), NULL);
     pdDoc = PDDocOpen(asPathName, ASGetDefaultFileSys(), NULL, true);
Is there a way around this problem?
Thanks.

Yes, you are hitting the MAX_PATH on certain versions of Windows.   The only workaround would be to see that the file is "a very long path" and then break up the pathname construction into multiple pieces (perhaps the containing directory and then the file itself). The other option is don't use Cstring to construct, use the Unicode variant.

Repair for missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu?

Can someone suggest how to repair a missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu? I'm using CS5 Indesign.
There's no option for it greyed out or otherwise. It originally had dissappeared while using CS4. I gave up on it. Installed CS5 and hoped it would come back: nada. I did the Ctrl-Alt-Shift thing and deleted prefs file: Still no recent docs option. VERY IRRITATING.
There's got to be a way. But I'm not informed enough. Help, please?

This is easily fixed...took me a while to find out how.
Go into Preferences, click on File Handling...you will then see a page with 'Saving InDesign Files' in the middle section (See attached screen grab). You'll see a box next to 'Number of Recent Items to Display' which I'm assuming will be '0'...change this to any number up to 99. Click OK. Close InDesign. Reopen InDesign...Open a file, close the file...you will now see the 'Open Recent' link when you click on file.
Problem solved.

Document Title bar file path

Hi there
I see that when you hover the cursor over the title bar of a PS document the full path is displayed briefly in a tool tip.
I was just wondering if there is a way to instead have this display permanently in the title bar itself, in place of just the document name.psd
Alternately, is there somewhere else in the whole PS interface where, at a glance, the file path of the active window can be seen.
Thanks

Not in the most recent versions of Photoshop it's not.
I think the reasoning for not maintaining the path is that a Photoshop document isn't really a single file. It's a document that may have been opened from a file, but there's no guarantee that when you save it's going to be written back to the file.
In fact, PS CS5 offers the ability to maintain separate default directories for File - Open and File - Save As operations.
So the short answer to your question is, I believe, no.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

dwb wrote:
Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

Can you insert a file path in pages document

Is there any way of inserting a "file path" into a document in the new version of pages. You could do it in Pages 09 but I can't find any way of doing in the new
Version. I know the inference is you are using the cloud - therefore file paths are not needed - but a lot of us still store documents in various places ( especially in the work place).

No.
Pages 5 has over 90 other features removed:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=b14426a2c5af2 65f2213d98ee45f08d7&mforum=iworktipsntrick
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Export your Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx and trash/archive Pages 5.
Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

Sharepoint Workflow : how to get document full path + file name into variable?

Hi,
Anybody knows how to get document full path + file name into a variable in Sharepoint 2010 workflow?
Example http://sp1:80/InvoiceQueue/Shared Documents/123.pdf
I am using List Workflow which links to a document library.

Hi SAMSUNG,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the full path of a document in a list workflow.
You can set the variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the document. The screenshot is my testing. In my testing (in the red area), when the title of a document was equal to the tile of the current item, set a variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the
document. I used ‘Log to history list’ to check the value of the variable in Workflow History .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Missing recent documents in TextEdit/Preview - File

This issue happened after merging a new Tiger OS with an encrypted home directory (File Vault). I can see my recent docs and apps if I switch them on within the System Preferences. Other apps like BBEdit or Microsoft Excel for example are tracking my recent docs also correctly. But the menu recent documents in the applications TextEdit and Preview remain empty independet how many docs I open and save. I therefore tried another user with the same OS without File Vault and everything behaves like normal. If I make a new document within TextEdit and do save it I can see it in the menu File as recently opened documents. Does anybody have an idea? Please HELP!
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) 5GB RAM

The recent documents lists for TextEdit and Preview are contained within their respective preferences files. Try deleting these files and see if that solves the problem:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
(Where the "~/" is your home directory.)
