Date Repeats in file name coming back from plugins

My filename date repeats when I edit the photos in plugins (NIK plugins) from within lightroom. For example, if the file name is 20120402DescansoGardens and I edit in four different plugins, the file names comes back as 20120402-20120402-20120402-20120402-20120402DescansoGardens. Does this happen to anyone else?

Check your filename template in external editing prefs.

Saving a file pdf file and the file name appears on a PC with + signs in the name of the file - How do I eliminate the file name coming up with the + signs?

A pdf file is created from a word document and then posted to our dealer portal. It allows the dealer to open the pdf file and then either print and/or save off to a hard drive. The issue is the file name has + signs in between all the words. Is there a way to eliminate the file names coming up with the plus signs? It is not being saved that way. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Use a proper file name for the WORD document. MS decided several years ago to allow spaces, but that is not standard and is likely what the issue is. A good alternative is to replace spaces in file names with underbars, "_".

Can I append date to the file name using Bursting

Hi All,
I know that we can append date to the file using %y, %m and %d for
Email
FTP
WEBDAV
But is there any way of appending the date to the file name if I am bursting my file to a shared location.
I tried that %y, %m and %d but that doesn't work for bursting.
Please reply
Thanks,

After upgrading to 10.6.6, major problems coming back from sleep mode

I updated my macbook from 10.6.5 to 10.6.6 and now it is unresponsive frequently after coming back from sleep. The computer stops responding and I have the spinning beach ball on the screen forever. I couldn´t find any correlation with the programs I am running.
I used Onyx to clear all caches, rebooted, etc but nothing seems to help...

I have the same issue, I've found though that it seems to happen only if i goto sleep mode after logging out of my mid-2010 MBP. As long as I remain logged in and put the MBP to sleep it does not lock up with the spinning beach ball.
This lock seems to happen just as I click on my name to login after waking my MBP from sleep.
I have no peripherals, except maybe the power adapter, but it seems to happen regardless of if the power adapter is plugged in. I've done repair permissions in safe mode as well as disk scans.

Changing color label of edits coming back from photoshop

I am currently using lightroom 3.2 RC. The issue is when sending a raw file out to photoshop then at the conclusion of editing as the file arrives back to lightroom, it now keeps it original color label (yeah), but if I now attempt to change it's color label from one color to another that I use to denote a completed PSD file, the file losses it color label completely and ends up without a color label at all (similar to what use to happen in 3.0), and I have to go find it and relabel it again.
hopefully I explained that well enough to catch the fault that exists
mike

I only have PSE8 and not Photoshop, but I cannot reproduce this behaviour by externally editing a Raw file in PSE8 from LR. When using PSE, you have to have LR render the PSD on the way to PSE already, which is a difference to Photoshop.
What technique are you using to assign the new color label when coming back from PS (keyboard shortcur, Metadata panel, ...)?
I'm using LR3.2RC on WinXP SP3.

Date appended to file name

Hi
I want to append date to my attachement name, to achieve this I went to scheduling and scheduled my report and gave attachment name as my_file_%y%m%d as specified by Tim in his blog (http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2009/12/dynamic_delivery_file_naming.html), but it is just giving the characters as they are instead of year month date appended to file name, my output is excel and our environment is standalone BIP.
Anyone help me on this.

Satellite P850-30W - Fan does not run after coming back from sleep mode

I got a Toshiba Satellite P850-30W with bios 1.90.
Sometimes the fan does not run at all after coming back from sleep mode on windows 7.
This has happened twice (maybe more times without me knowing), and Ive had the computers for a month.
Normally the fan starts running when the CPU gets over 50 celsius, and stops under 50 celisus...
I tried running Prime95 when this fan-issue occured and the computer temps got dangerously high (close to 100 degree)! the fan did not start at all
...this error could potentinally damage the laptop...
to get the fan running again I have to restart windows
anyone else experienced this?
I guess the fix would be to never use sleep-mode...or toshiba needs to fix it with a bios update.

What kind of answer do you expect here in user community?
Exact info about the fault? I dont think that somebody would be able to provide exact answer but just speculations
In other Forum you can read about Satellite notebook; but is it exacts the same model?
No, it seems to be an L650 series. Its completely different series .
From my opinion its not software related problem.
BIOS issue?
Well, in case it would be a BIOS issue, the problem would appear always and not sometimes after being shut down 200 times.
It could be a hardware related issue. Memory? Maybe
In my personal opinion to get more details hardware diagnostic software should be used in order check the hardware for possible malfunction. Thats my personal opinion

Insert data file name into table from sql loader

Hi All,
I have a requirement to insert the data file name dynamically into table using sql loader.
Example:
sqlldr userid=username/passwword@host_string control=test_ctl.ctl data=test_data.dat
test_ctl.ctl
LOAD DATA
FILED TERMINATED BY ','
INTO TABLE test
(empid number,
ename varchar2(20),
file_name varchar2(20) ---------- This should be the data file name which can be dynamic (coming from parameter)
test_data.dat
1,test
2,hello
3,world
4,end
Please help..
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anuj

you'll probably have to write your control file on the fly, using a .bat or .sh file
rem ===== file : test.bat ========
rem
rem ============== in pseudo speak =============
rem
rem
echo LOAD DATA > test.ctl
echo FILED TERMINATED BY ',' >> test.ctl
echo INTO TABLE test >> test.ctl

Append date to exporting file name in SQL reporting service

When exporting a report to another format, say excel,PDF; the file name is always set to the report name. Our client has a requirement where whenever a user exports a report to pdf, the timestamp of when the data of the report was made should be appended in the filename. Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services as well as report builder?
example : Report name : Testreport
Exported file should be : Testreport-November-22-20076.pdf
please help me in this
Thanks

Hi,
I know it's been while since this question was posted. I am replying so that it'll be useful for other people when they come across this same situation.
If you have access to SQL Server Agent to create jobs then this idea will be helpful -
1. Connect to your Report Server from SSMS.
2. Note the ItemID for your report by executing this query
select *
from ReportServer..Catalog
where Path like '%NameofyourReport%'
3. Create a job in here with the name say "AppendDatetoxyzreport" and add a step in it with the code
UPDATE [Catalog]
SET [Path] = '/PathofyourrerportfromReportServer/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112),
[Name] = '/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112)
WHERE ItemID ='<ItemID>'
4. Create another job with a name like "RemoveDatexyzreport" and add a step in it with the code
UPDATE [Catalog]
SET [Path] = 'PathofyoureportinReportserver/ReportName',
[Name] = 'ReportName''
WHERE ItemID = '<ItemID>'
5. Now set your AppendDatetoxyzreport job schedule to execute first, then the Report's subscription and then the RemoveDatexyzreport.
By doing this the first job changes the name to include present date, then you get you report and the next job sets it back to its previous name.

Can I script the changing of creation date, using the file name?

Normally people are doing this in reverse, but let me paint the picture.
I pulled 204 video files from an old HDD based JVC camera. JVC records in .MOD format which iPhoto won't import. I imported them into iMovie just fine, and iMovie even set the file name to clip-2007-11-04 04;42;29.mov which is great, but it now has a new creation date of whatever date I imported it. Which then causes problem when I want the videos stored in iPhoto and sorted appropriately by creation date.
I've used the application "A Better Finder Attributes 5" to individually edit the creation and modify, but I'm sure I don't want to do this 203 more times, as you can't just type in the date and time, you have to type in each part of the date/time, or select it on a calendar.
I've used the application "Name Changer" to batch convert the file names to the format YYYYMMDDhhmm which would be helpful if I were going to use the terminal command touch -t, but again I don't want to have to type it in 203 more times, plus drag and drop the file into finder to populate the location.
Now, if I were more handy with automator, or maybe some (any) scripting language this would be easy peasy. I'd batch rename all the files to the YYYYMMDDhhmm.mov and then have a script that just took the file name, passed that to touch -t along with the file location, and a few seconds later, they would all be done!
Anybody have any suggestions to how I can do this, and tips to what commands to use or ANY advice? I'm more than happy to RTFM, but I have no idea which manual to read!
Thanks

If your file names are precisely as you have written, this script will do what you want.
Copy the script into an AppleScript Editor document, select one or more files in a Finder window, return to the AS Editor and press Run. Note: you will need to provide your password when the script runs.
Make sure you have a backup of any files you are working on (try using duplicates first, perhaps). The script has no error handling.
tell application "Finder"
          set FileList to selection
          repeat with theFile in FileList
                    set fileName to name of theFile
                    set filePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (theFile as alias))
                    set crYear to text 6 thru 9 of fileName
                    set crMonth to text 11 thru 12 of fileName
                    set crDay to text 14 thru 15 of fileName
                    set crHour to text 17 thru 18 of fileName
                    set crMins to text 20 thru 21 of fileName
                    set crDate to crYear & crMonth & crDay & crHour & crMins
                    set shellString to "touch -t " & crDate & " " & filePath
do shell script shellString with administrator privileges
          end repeat

How to use javascript to "save as" using form data in the file name

I want to be able to use a button to "save as" and have it automatically pick up and use certain data from the fields in the file name. without having to manually type in the file name.
Name: john doe
Date: 1-25-13
file name would be (john doe 1-25-13)

You will need two parts for this. A folder level script (which you place in a .js file under the JavaScripts folder of Acrobat), and a script embedded in the file itself (probably attached to a button).
The folder-level script will look like this:
var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function(oDoc,cPath) {
    app.beginPriv();
    try {
        oDoc.saveAs(cPath);
    } catch(e){
        app.alert("Error During Save");
    app.endPriv();
The doc-level script can look something like this (of course, you might need to adjust the names of the fields used):
var filePath = this.path.replace(this.documentFileName, "");
var newFileName = this.getField("name").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("date").valueAsString + ".pdf";
mySaveAs(this, filePath+newFileName);
You should be aware that several characters are not allowed in the file name, including comma's, forward- and back-slashes, line-breaks and excalmation marks, so if you try to use them the script would fail. It is possible to create a more advanced version of this script that will automatically remove such characters from the file-name, or alert the user if they used them.

Destination file characters too long (File names) , while copying from one external to another

I have a external my book fat32 formated and a new mybook ntfs formated external as well. Now when I copy my files from the fat32 to the ntfs external all files copy fine but some give that destination location file characters are too long, meaning that the file names are too long. Now I could change the file names but that would conflict with programs that need that file name. I am using vista ultimate and would like to copy all the files over from the fat32 to ntfs so I can reformat the fat32 to ntfs. The files got on the ntfs from a simple drag and drop from my IDE NTFS internal hard drive.
I hope you guys to tell me what to do.
Thank you :)

Here's the fix....for error message "your file name is too long to be copied, deleted, renamed, moved" :
1.   problem is this: the "file name" has a limit on number of characters.....the sum of characters really includes the entire path name; you gotta shorten it first (i.e, if the total number of characters in the file name + Path name are over the
limit, the error appears). The deeper your file folder sub levels are, the more this problem will come up, especially when you copy to a subfolder of a subfolder/subfolder of another path ...adds to character limit)
2. How do you know which combined file names + path names are too long if you are in the middle of a copy operation and this error pops up? Some files copied but the "long files error message" says "skip" or "cancel" ... but not which
files are the "too long" ones. If you hit "skip" or "cancel" the "too long" files are left behind...but are mixed in with non-offender "good" "short name" files.   Sorting thru 1000s of "good" files to find a few "bad" ones manually is impractical.
3.   Here's how you sort out the "bad" from the "good":
4.    Let's say you want to copy a folder ..."Football" ...that has five layers of subfolders; each subfolder contains numerous files:
C:/1 Football / 2 teams/ 3 players/ 4 stats/ 5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong
       There are five levels root "1 football" with subfolders 2, 3, 4 and lastly "5 injuries"
5.    Use "cut" and "paste" (for example to backup all five levels to a new backup folder):
       select "1 football" ....cut....select target folder....paste
       ("cut" command means as the files are copied to the target destination, the file is deleted from the source location)
      Hint: avoid "cut" and "paste" to a target folder that is itself a sub/sub/sub folder ...that compounds the "characters over the limit" problem ...because the characters in the sub/sub/sub folder are included in the "file name
character limit"...instead "paste" to a C:/ root directory.
       Suppose in the middle of this operation...error pops up: "5 files have file names that are too long" Skip or cancel?
       select "skip" ...and let operation finish
6.    Now go back and look at the source location: since the software allows only the "good" "short name" files to be copied (and because you "skipped" the "bad" "Long name" files so they are not copied or deleted) ...all that remains
in the source location are the "bad" "long name files" (because "good" ones were deleted from the source location after the "cut" operation...the bad ones stick out like a sore thumb.
7.   You will find ....all that remains in source folders are: the "bad" "too long" files; in this example the "bad" file is in level 5:
      C:/ 1 football / 2 teams /3 players /4 stats /5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong
8.   select folder 5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong (that's right...select folder, not file) gotta rename the folder first.
9. hit F2 rename folder..folder name highlighted...delete some of the letters in the folder name:
       like this:   5 injuriessidelineplayers ....you should delete 'toolong'....from the folder name
10. then go into folder 5....and do the same operation ...with the too long file name:
        hit F2 rename file....file name hightlighted...delete some of the letters
           like this: injuriessidelineplayers.....you should delete 'toolong' from the file name
11. Now..."cut and paste" the renamed file to the target backup folder.
The Error message will pop up again if you missed any "bad" files....for example, it will indicate "5 files too long" ....then repeat process 5 times until you fix all of them
12.    Finally, copy the target destination files back to the source location (when you are certain all source location file folder locations are empty)

30EA4 Bug - load data, space in file name

Ubuntu 10.10, JDK 6.24, Sql Developer 3.0 EA4
If we try to import/load data from .xls file with space in file name, for example "list of cattle.xls" instead "list_of_cattle.xls" it doesn't work. It reports the following error: "Load data into table TABLE_X from file list of cattle.xls. Task failed and load rolled back."
The only workaround is to rename the file name without spaces.

How to auto save output with date added to file name, and email the results?

Hi,
We found a script to capture disk space usage, that automatically places the results into an Excel file. We would like the script to autosave this file to a specific directroy with the date ran as part of teh file name. We would then like these results to
be emailed to us if possible. (also if possible to highlight cell in red that is 5% OR less available disk space would be great)

$b = $a.Workbooks.Add()
$c = $b.Worksheets.Item(1)
