Custom sort by file type?

Hello. I have been using PSE6 for a while but have recently started the trial of Aperture.
There is a lot to like in Aperture, but I have been unable to get around the problem of sorting my RAW and JPEG files.
I shoot in RAW+ and have been importing using PSE's importer. That renames the image files and places them on my hard disk. Each image exists as both a .dng and .jpg.
I have imported a few of these sets of files into Aperture to evaluate it, but can not work out how to do the PSE equivalent of filtering by file type. In PSE I can select a filter to show just the JPEGs or just the RAW. That way I don't have to scan through duplicate versions of every image. Worse still, Aperture doesn't show the file extensions in the filenames that sit under the thumbnails, so both file types for a particular image appear with the same name.
Can I do the same in Aperture? I saw the 'Custom' option in the sort drop down menu and thought that might do it, but it is greyed out. I can't find anything useful about that option in the manual.
Reading other posts in this forum I realise that if I had imported from the cards using Aperture I would have only seen the .dng files unless I ctrl-clicked and that would be fine for me. But I have over a year's worth of files already imported with PSE and need a solution to deal with those.
Thanks!
P.S. I just worked out that I could type '.dng' into the search box on the film strip and that displays only those files. That gets the result I need, but not as elegantly as having a predefined or custom criterion I can select.

I too have found that a bit frustrating that there isn't the sort by "kind". I'm used to using Lightroom and/or Adobe Bridge. I like you, have the dng and finished jpg or tiff's next to each other. I have found a work around that works most of the time to sort so it is easy to see which is which.
Instead of looking at the photos as a thumbnail, look at them in the list view and sort by pixel or file size.
My dng's are always way larger so they are all listed together. I then can rate the originals. Then I sort them by File Name and the stars from the originals show up.

How do I sort by file type?

I was wondering how I can sort by file type? I have a bunch of .moi and .mod files in a directory and want yo delete the .moi files. If I could sort by type, then it would just be a matter of highlighting those and deleting. I tried sorting by kind, but since they are seen as Unix Executable files by the OS, it sorts them but not by .moi or .mod. Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't believe you can sort by extension. However, what you can do is to type .moi into the search field at the top of the Finder window where you see those files. That will initially show all .moi files on your entire computer. At the top of the displayed search results will the the text "Search:" followed by three choices. "This Mac" should be selected, but the name of the folder you were looking in will be the second choice... click that one. That will cause the search results to contain only files from that folder, containing the text ".moi", which should be the ones you're interested in deleting.

Search or sort by file type?

has anybody figured out how to search/sort by file type (.psd, .cr2, Etc.)?
I've been looking, but I can't find it.

Bring up the search HUD, use the "+" drop down menu to add an "other metadata" criteria choose file name and type in the extension that you are looking for.

Sort by file type

In the "View Preferences" there does not seem to be an option to insert a "file type" column. If it isn't possible to do this, I'd suggest that this option be made available. If it is possible, how is it done?

Trying to sort library by file type

Hey all, I'm trying to sort by file type so it can quickly arrange all the TIFF files together in one easy to see group. I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong here, because it keeps just slightly rearranging my images, but not putting all TIFF together and all RAW together. They are still mixed, and I have to select by hand, which negates the purpose of sorting by file type for me.
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you, that worked. I guess out of sake of discussion though, is there not a way to just apply a view filter while in the library module to show only files of a certain type? Like in Bridge, how you can set a view filter for like... Anything. Am I missing something here? This seems like it should work too, because on the bottom of the screen there is a fly down menu that lets you select things like file type, extension, etc... Yet it doesn't seem to actually work as far as narrowing down what you are looking at in your window.

How to associate .c4d file type to Cinema 4D?

I have opened After Effects CC multiple times, created and saved .c4d files from Cinema 4D Lite and dragged .c4d files onto both applications. I have also restarted the computer many times. The system is running on a new installation on Mac OS on a drive formatted just 2 weeks ago so there should be no issues from strange system changes.
The .c4d files still appear with a Terminal icon and association on Mac OS X. Even when I use "Open With". This is annoying because it is hard to visually find these files without the proper icon on them. They even have the Terminal icon when imported into After Effects.
How can I change the icon system-wide to be correct?

Unless you have a full version of C4D you will have to open C4D lite from inside AE. It's part of the licensing agreement and there is no way around it.
The Mac user forums have tutorials on creating a custom icon for file types. I'd look there. You can't associate C4D files with C4D lite because of the licensing.

Opening a custom file type

Hi
I have a swing application which while configuring creates a custom file type say .foo . I want my application to be launched taking me.foo as command line argument when i double click me.foo. Can anyone tell me how this can be achieved?
Thanks in advance. Any code snippet explaining this will be very helpful

I want my application to be launched taking me.foo as command line argument
when i double click me.foo. Can anyone tell me how this can be achieved?
Thanks in advance. Any code snippet explaining this will be very helpfulThis is not really a Java question - what happens when you double click an icon is really up to your operating system/ desktop manager etc.
On Windows you can set this behaviour by running WindowsExplorer and from the "Tools" menu select "Folder Options...", then look at the "File Types" tab.
You will see lots of file types sorted by extension. Have a look at how a file type with which you are familiar is set up, and then have a go using the "New" button to create your own type. Once it's created you can associate commands with actions that appear on the menus of WindowsExplorer for that type including a default action that will be carried out when the icon is double clicked.

Create custom code colouring for additional file types

Hi All,
I spend a lot of time editing .ini files in Dreamweaver (in my case langague files for custom Joomla extensions). Although the file format is extremely simple, particularly in the way that they re used in this context, I would like to improve the readability by adding code coloring for strins, standard text and comments.
I haven't been able to find any really useful information on the web about how to go about doing this.
From what i can gather, the steps are
Get Dreamweaver to recognise the file type (editing Extensions.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml?)
Add the code coloringxml file.
So far I've had no success with the first step, so haven't tried the second.
It would be great if I caould also add it as an option in the New File dialog.
If some kind and clever person could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
I'm in Dreamwaever CC on Windows 7, if that's relevant
Cheers
Keith

What have you tried so far that made you think that you were not successful? To add new file extensions to be recognized in DW, you need to go to:
Edit >> Preferences and then look for something like in this picture:
Now this is in CS6 and I suspect the steps should be similar in CC. If not then CC is a step backwards in terms of progress in current technology IMO. I don't use CC so can't comment any further here.
Good luck.

Question on Sorting of files in custom manner.

Hi,
I need to sort the files but sorting is done in custom manner. Based on the words present in the file I need to sort it. For e.g., if the file name containing allocated and System it needs to be sorted at first position. Qos and Interface needs to be sorted in second position, and lsp and dynamic on third position.
Suppose these are the files sorted in ascending order.
Allocated
Dynamic
Interface
Lsp
Qos
SystemI need to sort in this way,
Allocated
System
Qos
Interface
Lsp
DynamicIs there any good way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Look for examples on how to use a Comparator. This one seems pretty decent for example:

Custom thumbnail for a file type, not a single file

I understand that when I upload an asset to the DAM of a file type for which CQ5 doesn't support thumbnail generation (Excel .xls and .xlsx, in my case), CQ5 will use a default dogeared-page icon for the thumbnail. it also writes an error-level message to the log to the effect that it can't generate a thumbnail. E.g.,
15.10.2012 12:03:47.078 ERROR [JobHandler: /etc/workflow/instances/2012-10-15/model_1135358760340484:/content/dam/FY06NIVDetailTable1.xls/jcr:content/renditions/original] com.day.cq.dam.commons.handler.AbstractAssetHandler createThumbnails: cannot create thumbnails for asset [/content/dam/FY06NIVDetailTable1.xls], failed loading graphical representation for rendition [/content/dam/FY06NIVDetailTable1.xls/jcr:content/renditions/original].
The error message is mostly harmless, but I would like to prevent it.
And I understand that I can add a thumbnail after the fact. But despite the language in the document, apparently this thumbnail does not apply to subsequent uploads (for all files of the same type).
Is there a way to establish a thumbnail image that applies to subsequent uploads?

Hi David,
Thumbnail upload (or for that matter any rendition upload) is specific to that image and it will not apply to set of images.
If we want to apply some custom thumbnail instead of the default one either we need to override the default image or custom workflow step is required.
If we override the default image it will apply acroos the DAM.
Regarding custome workflow step. This step will be added after thumbnail creation step in DAM Update Asset workflow(this wf is responsible for creating all renditions). In this workflow step you can check whether thumbnail is created or not if not create thumbnail of your desire.

Is there a 2GB file size limit on saving a custom format plugin for a custom file type?

I have resolved issues on reading files > 2GB. Now when I save files >2GB, I get a popup that states there is a 2GB limit for plugins.
I an using photoshop CS6 on a MAC OSX 10.9 with 16 GB RAM.
The custom file type is what should be selected when the Save As Dialogue is visible.
I looked for a setting in the Photoshop preferences for Files & setting to PSB, but did not see one.
I tried modifying values in the PiPL for formatmaxSize and PluginMaxSize, but the only values that the code will compile in with:
32767 & 2147483647.
I saw a posting in previous years that custom plugins were limited to 2 GB.

I would like to rephrase my question, now that I have worked a little more with my code.
Is there a 2GB limit per channel and 4GB limit for total file size for a custom photoshop format plugin?

I used YAXV to validate the launch file against an XSD that is based on the DTD distributed by Sun. YAXV is freeware, and I highly recommend* using it to check the JNLP file(s) for any JWS launch that does not work as expected.

Custom document library showing wrong file type icon

Hi All - I have a custom document library created using VS code. In search result if any document appear from that library it shows web page icon.
I found this below url for this issue:

I don't want to write custom pipe line and I also don't want to hard code file types in XSLT.
Is there any solution to change content class?
There is difference in contentclass in source XML.
for
<imageurl imageurldescription="Image">/_layouts/images/imageresult_16x16.png</imageurl>
<contentclass>STS_ListItem_DocumentLibrary</contentclass>
icon is displayed correctly.
for
<imageurl imageurldescription="List Item">/_layouts/images/STS_ListItem16.gif</imageurl>
<contentclass>STS_ListItem_10623</contentclass>
Icon is displayed wrong.

yeah its problem with library, But how to fix this?.

Adobe illustrator window gets minimized when saving custom file type.

I had created a new file type . When I try to save a document in the newly created file type the Adobe illustrator window gets minimized (restored).

I tried ringing Adobe and after creating a new user account on my system and logging into that, I was then able to use illustrator. This is okay but not ideal as I don't want to have to switch between accounts each time I want to access my files. Any ideas on how to solve this? I have tried uninstalling and deleting preference files again but still the same problem...?
