Custom application to upload entire folder structures into KM at once

Does anyone know of a way (or has an idea of how) to create an application that could be put in an iView to allow the user to select a folder on his/her PC to be uploaded onto KM, subfolders and all?  I have found sample apps that let you upload single files into KM, but none for multiple files or folder structures.
Thank you

Hi,
Some ideas..
Maybe you should try zipping the whole folder and uploading it. The upload program should unzip the file using the zip APIs from Java, and move the folder into an File Sytem or FSDB repository.
If you are using the CM repository of type DB then you will have to look at the IResource and ICollection creation APIs to build the folder structure and transfer content.

  • Converting an entire folder structure with images to jpeg, intact with folder structure.

    Hi!
    I have a rather large folder structure consisting of images dating all the way back to when I got my first digital camera in '98.
    The images are captured with a variety of cameras over the years and also includes image types processed with software. It's an almost 1,5 terabytes holy mixture of CR2, ARW, JPEG, PSD, PSB, TIFF, HDR and probably more that i forgot. However all of the formats can be read by photoshop/bridge. The file structure is /YYYYMMDD/file.ext. Converting the files folder by folder using the standard Image processor feature in bridge/photoshop is not really an option, considering the size of the structure.
    What I am trying to do is to convert the entire structure to .jpeg, both for backup purposes and also for being able to view all the images on devices other than my computer. It's important that the raw files are converted with their respecive .xmp adjustments applied.
    Is there any possible way to achieve this? I don't have lightroom, but if it can do this I will purchase it. Maybe some other image managment applications, like ACDSee, can do this?
    If someone know of any applications or (photoshop) scripts that can do this, or have any tips for me it is *HIGHLY* appreciated!

    Paul Riggott: T-H-A-N-K-S!
    The Russell Brown script is exactly what I needed, couldnt ask for anything better. I tried it out for a test run on a folder with 10 subfolders containing various file types and it recreated the folder structure complete with jpegs on another disk. The script have lots of useful options for converting, naming, color space conversion and much more.
    The one small thing to take note of, if others are reading this, is that you have to open the script in Photoshop in order to to process entire folder structures (including subfolders). If you launch the script from Bridge, it will only let you process single files and not folders.
    Again, you really made my day with this tip. Thanks

  • Mass uploading of folder Structure?

    Dear Expert,
    As per client requirement, we needed feasibility of Upload of multiple documents with folder structure. Suppose we had folder structure with different files in folders available in CD, which we wanted to copy/create folder structure in Content server as available in CD. Is there any BAPI is available.
    While Searching for this requirement I found bapi_document_create2 u2026.but I want to know with this can I directly copy folder structure available in CD to Content Server.
    I wanted to know, as per requirement will it be possible to create folder structure from CD?
    Thanks in advance..

    Hi Sam,
    as explained in your SAP customer message the BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 could be used for this requirement. If you want to hand over document structure data please fill table DOCUMENTSTRUCTURE. For further information on the BAPI functionalities please see SAP note 766277.

  • Premiere pro CC 2014 will not bring entire folder contents into project

    It's a simple finder action, dragging and dropping, yet, I cannot get Premiere to put the entire contents of a folder into the project.
    Lots of editors do some preliminary binning on the drive. It's how we organize footage. An example would be a folder structure that has the DAY then the CAMERA ROLL then a SCENE then even a SCENE BREAKDOWN.
    When I drag the DAY folder into the project I expect the entire structure to be imported, all the subfolders and all the footage.
    It's a hell of a feeling when you drag in the one master folder, and only some of the folders/footage come into the project, and you dont realize until about two days into making selects and have to start over.
    This is what my drive looks like:
    and either dragging or doing file import gives me this:
    no rhyme or reason to what it considers a folder or not. Some its like "sure, lets give him all the subfolders" others its like "ew. folder 01. I hate firsts. lets skip that."
    Computer. Do what I say. I am the master. And Adobe... this is a pretty basic function.
    Thanks for any help or light you can shed on zee subject. . . Adobe community is the best in the world.

    Hi Serrini,
    Sorry about that. Can you file a bug report? http://adobe.ly/ReportBug

  • Transporting Entire Folder Structures

    There may be something wrong in the way we do transports, but this is the scenario
    Example,
    Folder 1 (contains iview1, iview2, iview3)
    transported entire Folder 1 to QA
    QA will have Folder 1 (contains iview1, iview2, iview3)
    Deleted iview3 and added iviewA into Folder 1 (in DEV)
    Transport (no errors)
    QA now has Folder 1(iView1, iview2, iview3, iviewA)
    Looks like the transport does not do a deletion (like the R/3 transport, but just overlay files over)
    Anyone know how to bypass this bug ?

    Hi Wai,
    I think if the folder hierarchies in the Portal Catalog are completely identical in the source and target systems, the object is created or, if it already exists, it is overwritten in the target system.
    But I am not sure abt the deletion, i will try to simulate and check.
    Also I am in the process of transport to QA in my clent, could you please let me know how you transported you web dynpro iviews?
    thanks

  • MTS files (and really, they're just MTS, not the entire folder structure)..

    OK, I see lotsa advice about dealing with MTS files...if they're in their proper folder structure.
    Well, that'd be easy, and I'd be importing them now if they were in their proper folder structure. But they're not...I have 503 .mts files, in a folder, that a client copied "for me", and now expects me to import.
    Any advice? Like I said, I only have the .mts files, not the supporting folder structure.

    Greetings all from Jakarta - i have a feeling this is going to be a lengthy response and will only be of interest for those currently suffering from MTS file issues, but I do believe (while my solutions are not perfect) I have found some answers. What I have not found, unfortunately, are the hairs that I pulled out of my armpits in frustration over these MTS issues.
    Background info: My office purchased the Panasonic HDC-TM700 to provide back-up to our Panasonic 170EN and we have been quite happy with the results. We have also been converting the MTS files to .MOV files on both Toast Titanium, and Final Cut Pro.
    SITUATION #1
    After a day of shooting I downloaded the TM700 files (full structure) to the hard disk. On day two after a full day of shooting I realized I forgot to format the camera's memory card so i had 50 MTS files that I already downloaded. Ever the smart guy, I highlighted file #51-#102 and dragged them into the STREAM file of the previous day's download. Then I formated the camera so i wouldnt forget the next day.
    Well during log and transfer in FCP ONLY THE FIRST 50 FILES could be read, because that is what the metadata in the info supported ..... FCP couldnt even locate the other 50 files. I nearly fainted at the thought of getting fired. Thank goodness, when we dragged the MTS files into TOAST TITANIUM they could be read and converted!
    SITUATION #2
    The new guy (seriously, it was the new guy!) ONLY DOWNLOADED THE MTS files and since I wasn't there I wasn't there to see the havoc when neither FCP or TOAST could open the files. I was called in and my first idea was to take an old file structure, copy it, and slip the MTS files into the STREAM folder.
    Well, it worked!! kind of.... The interesting thing is that the files could be converted in TOAST (FCP would not open the files) BUT ONLY TO THE TIME CODE THAT was equivalent to the original file. So if the original file was 1 minute and the file that I only had the MTS file for (and which corresponded to the file's number) was 5 minutes, only 1 minute was converted.)
    So what I did was I took the TM700 and I shot five minutes of my foot. Then I downloaded the full file structure. Since I only took one shot of five minutes there was only one file in the STREAM folder, which was a 598mb file numbered 00000.MTS
    I know I will regret it one day but i deleted the MTS file of my foot. Then I placed in one of the "homeless" MTS files into the (now empty) STREAM folder and changed the name to 0000.MTS -
    When opened in FCP log and transfer - IT DID NOT WORK. However, in TOAST I am happy to say IT WORKED, yayyyy. And the file that was converted was the length of the clip. What I thought might happen is that if the clip was only 30 seconds long but the foster file was 5 minutes then there would be 30 seconds of footage and 4.5 minutes of black empty space on video. That wasn't the case.
    THE SHORT TERM SOLUTION:
    Over the years I have been very very very lucky with all the help I have gotten over the internet and in my own small way I hope the following helps out others. So here is what I have done, with instructions.
    PLEASE NOTE I AM INDONESIAN LIVING IN INDONESIA SO WE USE PAL ..... 25 frames per second. .... Hopefully if someone in North America likes this idea and can help out, they will post a NTSC file structure.
    OKAY INSTRUCTIONS:
    1. Double click this link and download the file structure. The the file structure is only 68kb all your (and mine) frustrations for 68,000 bytes!!
    www.klirkom.com/helpout/AVCHD
    2. If you look inside the folder (AVCD->BDMV->STREAM) you will see AN EMPTY STREAM FOLDER. This is where you will place your "lost/not working" MTS files. Sorry, but this file structure only supports two files at a time. The first file is 5 minutes long, the second file is 33 minutes long (i was going to make it 10 minutes but I forgot about the camera being on and left it for 33 minutes ...)
    3. Change your first file name (preferably an MTS file less than 600mb so that the 'foster' file can cover it) to 00000.MTS. Now change your second file (preferably less than 4GB, but unless you are filming the whole wedding this should be okay for most people.... the important thing to remember is that if you want your full file converted without missing any parts at the end, the files should be smaller in size than the foster files) to the name 00001.MTS
    4. Now drag your newly named and newly placed MTS files into TOAST TITANIUM. Click convert. I have not tried this with other software but hopefully it works for you.
    5. If you want you can now rename your original MTS files to their original names and continue with the next two files. I know with 500 MTS files this is a HUGE pain in the buttox .....
    Okay, good luck all!!

  • Upload Entire Folder with Files to Web Page

    Can someone please inform me how to upload a Folder with multiple files in the folder. We have many many files that we need to have viewed on the outside but don't want to have to link every single file. I am using CS5.
    Thank you!

    Hello-
    I did exactly what you said. I created the folder on the local and the local and remote folder do match. I created the link and uploaded everything. When I click on the link I receive an error message "HTTP 403 Forbidden". Can you please tell me what this means, what I may be doing wrong. Does this mean that directory browsing is disabled? How do you use a server side script that dynamically reads the file system and creates links?

  • Can I import an entire folder and sub-folders at once?

    I am fairly new to LR and have TONS of files in a main Photo folder on Vista.  Some of these files have duplicate names, some were taken with very early gen digital camera as well as newer files with my 40D. But importing each folder and sub folder 1 at a time is going to take a million years.  Here is basically what I want to do.
    1) Import ALL pics (probably about 6-8 thousand) at once
    2) Go through these photos and tag them as well as get rid of the obviously crappy pics that i will never do anything with, kill the dupes
    3) Meta tag as many as i can
    4) export to a new foler
    All files are jpg.  Nice memorial day project eh?

    I would make some suggestions to your proposed workflow.
    Instead of "3) Meta tag as many as i can", I would say assign keywords and captions on all of your photos. Keywords and captions are a very powerful way of organizing, and when well done, they make finding your photos extremely easy. I understand that this takes time and effort, but you will find that the time and effort you put into this pays off well.
    If you leave some photos without keywords and captions, how will you find them? I know how ... you will search for 30 minutes and probably say some four-letter words in the process.
    Instead of "4) export to a new foler[sic]", don't bother exporting as a regular part of your workflow. Just don't do it! Only export when you need the photos outside of Lightroom, such as for e-mail or uploading or printing at a commercial printer. Otherwise, there is no need for you to take up the disk space with thousands of exported .jpgs.

  • Duplicate an entire folder sturcture with html files within RH

    RH 8 HTML
    Is it possible? currently you can duplicate a single topic, is there a way to quickly duplicate a entire folder structure?
    I'm making a skeleton layout of topics for release notes, because they are published to the web aswell, we keep all previous version in the project also.
    would be nice to be able to quickly copy n paste the skeleton folder and topic layout without having to create it all manually each time.
    thanks.

    Hi Nick.
    The short answer is "No". You could copy the topics outside of RH, create another folder in RH and import the copied topics into it. Bear in mind though that folder names must be unique.

  • Importing .mts files not nested in original camera folder structure

    The short version:
    Is there any way to import .mts files already copied to a hard drive, without keeping the camera's folder structure intact, into Premiere Pro CS5.5?
    The long version:
    I recently purchased an iMac. For years I edited video on Windows using Sony Vegas and Vegas Home Studio. My camera, the Panasonic Lumix TS2, shoots AVCHD video. Vegas has no problem importing and editing AVCHD .mts files from a camera or a hard drive so it wasn't until I attempted to edit some video in Premiere Pro, recieved the "unsupported compressions type" error message and did some searching that I realized folder structure is so critial to working with AVCHD. From what I can tell, the files have to be in the PRIVATE>AVCHD>BDMV>STREAM>xxxxxxx.mts confirguration to be imported via the media browser.
    Here is my situation, I have hundreds of .mts files in separate folders, bundled together with photos from the same day or event. I'm on an iMac i7, using an activated version of Premiere Pro CS5.5 from the Master Collection. Is there any way I can import and edit these files natively? And in the future, is there any way around transferring the entire folder structure everytime I want to copy the video files to my hard drive? I use Bridge to import photos and it will just pull the video files off the card and plop them in the same folder. Having to transfer the videos separately seems like a silly work around in our modern age. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Yo! I used to have this problem for about 1 year!! And fixed it about half a year ago and I have never been as happy when I fixed it!
    Be sure that your sequence settings are set to the right settings: When you create a new sequence you should be promped with a window asking what settings you want. Open the "AVCHD" folder and there should be 3 folders; 1080p, 1080i, 720p. Pick the one that you filmed at, I film at 1080p, so I open that folder and then you pick the right setting to what you filmed your scene. I film at 24 fps so i pick AVCHD 1080p24 (non-anamorphic). Now there should be a new sequence with the right settings (don't use the same settings as I do unless you have filmed at the same frame rate and that it was filmed at 1080p or 1080i, there is a big difference between "p" and "i"). If you go in to the window in the bottom left corner there should be a tab on that box that says "Media Browser". Click it and the directory to your computer should be shown. If you have your SD card connected there should be something called SD card (or if you have renamed it then it is obvious what you should select). After selecting it there should be a folder called AVCHD and you open it up. This is where it gets tricky... because I don't know what camera you use and don't have any experience with your camera then you will have to go through all the folders that are within the AVCHD folder. They are not so many but in the folder where all the clips are hidden they should be called 00626.mts for example. Then you just select the clips you want to import and import them. This process can also be done by opening Finder (mac) or on PC just open up the same way and select the clips you want and drag them i to your project window
    Then if you drag a clip in to the sequence, this is were you see if you did all the steps right (with the sequence settings) then the light above the clip should be yellow, meaning that the playback engine recognizes the format and can play it back without any compression Therefor giving you much better quality videos!
    Hope this helps, I know the pain you are going through, don't want it to happen to anyone else

  • Can I import a "folder tree" into an "album tree"?

    I have organized a large set of photos on my PC into a nice "directory tree" or hierarchy of nested folders. The nesting structure makes sense since there is a clear hierarchical relationship amongst the photos, and there are so many of them. Viewing them is easy on my PC - I just navigate the folder structure and go into "Picture Viewer" in each folder to see all the pictures on a particlar topic.
    Now, I want to do this on my Mac. Since we lack a "Picture Viewer" function in the iMac world (unless I go look for a freeware one), I am wondering if iPhoto can hold this kind of structure. Basically, albums within albums. I've tried to create a new one and move it inside an existing one and it doesn't seem to like that. Is one level the best iPhoto can do? If so, that is pathetic. The world is more complex than that. I am using iPhoto 2.0.1.
    If it is possible, my extra credit question for whoever tackles this is "can I import the folder structure into iPhoto and keep the nested structure as a tree of albums?". Thanks.

    iPhoto is for people who want a one-app solution for managing all their photos, preparing photo books, ordering prints, and preparing slide shows, and who are satisfied with two levels of storage hierarchy and very limited image editing options. This mostly means family snapshooters. You have a very primitive early version of iPhoto which was bundled at no cost with consumer Macs in its day. iPhoto 6 in particular offers much more organizational flexibility than previous versions, but it's by no means a professional photographer's tool.
    I have nearly 100,000 photos stored on my computers. About 10,000 of them are in eight different iPhoto libraries. The best of my own work and my archives of historical photos are stored in folder hierarchies of my own design, not in iPhoto libraries, and I edit and sort them and prepare prints and presentations using them in Photoshop CS2, Adobe Bridge, GraphicConverter, ViewIt, and occasionally other apps.

  • Folder Structures For Music

    Greetings Everyone,
    I have an iPod Classic (160gb) connecting to a Windows XP PRO machine.
    I understand how to sync music to the player.
    I understand how to create playlists in with iTunes.
    I understand how to create folders in iTunes to organize the playlists with.
    The format of the music file is when it is loaded into the iPod is not an issue.
    Here Is the problem:
    I have thousands of music files [MP3's] that I have sorted into well over 100+ folders.
    Normally, with any other MP3 player I could simply drag folders onto that MP3 Player and there they would be organized the way I want them.
    I wish to do the same with the iPod the only problem is that either the Intuitive people at Apple have made dragging and dropping folders into iTunes impossible [while maintaining the original folder structure] or I am just missing how to do it.
    For instance, when I drag three folders into iTunes instead of creating three folders with playlists in each folder iTunes simply merges all the songs into one list totally negating the point of a folder structure.
    Now, as I stated, I am fully aware of how to make the folder structure in iTunes myself, but I often add new songs and albums, and the thought of manually updating each individual folder every time I add new songs is tedious and depressing.
    I have looked the issue up and even tried many third party programs but none of them address the specific issue I have had. Most the searches result in "Xfer iPod files to PC" or vice versa, I have all the files on the PC and I can get them to the iPod, I simply want an easier way to put a folder structure into iTunes.
    Simply put, I want to be able to copy a folder from Windows into iTunes and have it create an iTunes Folder and a playlist rather than having to create the folder in iTunes myself, then dragging the songs into it to create a playlist.
    If there truly is no way to do this a concrete "not possible" answer would be appreciated.
    If there is a better forum for this question please advise and I will post it there.
    The iPod family is truly a fantastic product line with a great many features but something that is so simple with other MP3's is truly eluding me and I hope the answer is a simple on that I have well, simply missed.
    At this point I will even take a highly complicated How-To as I have no problem "jimmy-rigging" it to work if I knew how.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    iTunes doesn't care about or read any meaning into the folder structure. You can stop iTunes moving your files around by turning off *Keep the iTunes Media folder organised* in *Edit > Preferences > Advanced* but you probably know this already. There is no mechanism in iTunes itself to reveal the folder structure, or use it to create smart playlists. iTunes works with the tags. Put meaningful infomration in there and iTunes can be very powerful. It all depends on exactly what it is you want to achieve. If you can cope with a bit of programming it is possible to write scripts which could transfer the meaning from your folder structure into the tags in some format that iTunes could then use.

  • Lost .MTS folder structure, now what?

    I'm pretty new to the Adobe programs, I recently switched from Pinnacle studio to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. The video camera I am using is a Canon HF M50.  I have really been struggling with my .MTS files, and after trying many different things I finally figured out that when I copy my files from the sd card to the hard drive you are suppose to copy the entire folder structure and not just the .MTS file.  Well, I figured that out a little to late because most of my files are already on my hard drive without any of the folder structure. So I'm looking for advice on what I should do now. What are my options? Should I convert the files to a different format or is there any way to retrieve the structure of the files I am now missing? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

    First I had problems with not having audio when importing clips but that is working now. My problem right now is some major lagging issues when scrubbing through the time line and viewing the clips. Premiere would then freeze sometimes and "not respond".  When I would click on a clip and then in the upper left screen under metadata it gives you information about the file...my .mts files would say "uneditable" next to them. Its saying that because I do not have the entire folder structure.
    I heard that a program called Clipwrap can help solve this issue but I believe its only for Macs? I'm running a PC..

  • Transparent integration of a new drive into the folder structure of a file server?

    Hallo,
    I'm looking for solution to a problem, that seams to be simple, but obviously is not that easy to solve:
    I have to integrate a second external RAID system in to our MacOS X 10.6.8 Server based file sharing server that is accessed from Mac and Windows clients via AFP and SMB. I want to move one or two main folders from the old RAID to the new one, but this physical change has to be invisible to the users, as I don't want to confuse anyone.
    So my idea was to mover the Folders to the new drive, and create symbolic links at the old locations pointing to the new locations. This works very well for the Windows clients accessing the server via SMB, but does not work for the Macs on AFP.
    So I tried to move one folder to the new drive and mount it at the old location. Again this works fine for the SMB but does not work for AFP, the mount point does not show up in a directory listing via AFP.
    Do you have any other idea how I might integrate the new drive in transparent way into the old folder structure?
    Thanks for your input
    Florian
    PS: I could use SMB on the Macs but for some reason I, whenever I try to log into the server from a Mac via SMB, user name and password are accepted, but then the Mac client displays a message saying that I don't have the right to access the share. The same share works using AFP.

    Define 'invisible' please.
    Do you mean you need to be able to do this live, while users are on the system? or just that you can shut the machine down, reconfigure it, and bring it back up with the new configuration, even though the shares look the same to the users?
    I'm guessing the latter, but it's worth asking.
    Ultimately the problem lies in the way the file sharing systems deal with multi-volume sharepoints, and it's not easy. If you think about it, say you have a 1TB array handling the main sharepoint and you want to substitute one of the directories in that sharepoint with a new, empty 4TB array.
    When the user mounts the sharepoint they get a little status bar at the bottom of the window showing the available space... how much is that? Well, initially it would be however much of the 1TB volume is unused... except if they switch to the linked directory they now have 4TB available (or thereabouts)... so the amount of space available has changed even though, from the user's standpoint, they're still on the same share.
    It isn't valid for the OS to report 4 TB as free because that isn't the case unless you're in this specific directory.
    It also isn't valid for the OS to report 5TB free, even though there is that amount of space altogether.
    It also isn't valid for the OS to report 1TB free because you could upload 4TB of data if you put it in the right place.
    There are few solutions to this. Microsoft sort of addressed this with their DFS solution in Windows Server, but it's not trivial.
    Unfortunately you can't just blow it off and ignore the issue.
    Off hand there's only one thing I can think of that *might* work. if it doesn't then you're down to using multiple sharepoints on the server, with users mounting both disks simultaneously (which can be automated, for what it's worth).
    The one thing to try is to statically mount the second RAID at the appropriate location so that, as far as the OS is concerned, it looks like just another directory even though it's on a different disk. You'd do this by editing /etc/fstab and adding a line like
    UUID=AABBCCDD-79F7-33FF-BE85-41DFABE2E2BA /path/to/mount    hfs   rw
    to /etc/fstab (this file may not currently exist, so just create it as root).
    The first field is the UUID of the drive (which you can get via diskutil info)
    The second field is the path where you want this drive to appear in the filesystem - i.e. somewhere in the path of your sharepoint. There must be an existing (empty) directory at this path when the disk mounts.
    The third field identifies the disk as HFS
    The fourth field marks the disk as read-write
    Now when the system boots it should locate this disk and mount it on top of the existing RAID volume. If you cd to your sharepoint you should see the existing drive and if you cd from there into your mounted directory you should be looking at your new RAID.
    Now, this all works fine (or, at least, should do) from a standard OS standpoint. The big question is whether the AFP and SMB daemons honor and support this kind of setup... there's one way to try, of course...
    Now for testing purposes you could mount it at a dummy directory, just to see whether it's available to network clients. If it is then your next step would be to clone the data from the directory onto the new drive, then edit the fstab to mount the disk at the appropriate location.
    Note also that the entire volume will replace the directory you mount over - that means you can't replace two (or more) directories with one volume, but you can, of course, partition or setup your RAID into multiple volumes and mount each individual volume over a specific directory.

Maybe you are looking for
