Deleting a linked file

Multiple people at my office have and use Dreamweaver 8. When I go to delete a file on the local site, I am prompted if there are links to it elsewhere in the site. However, other people at my office are not given the same prompt. I am sure it is some sort of preference in Dreamweaver that is selected on my version and not theirs but I can't seem to find it. Any tips? (Thanks in advance!)

This probably has something to do with the cache and where it is stored.
Dreamweaver keeps and maintains a cache of your website's links for you so that you can update things, change things and move things around in a website. If your computer created the website in Dreamweaver, it certainly will have such a cache. If the site is merely copied without Dreamweaver's check in and check out function enabled, it may not have any cache on the other computers. Thus they won't be queried if they delete links, files and pages.

Delete FM link

I'm returning to an old RH project with a linked FM book. There is a new file in the book that somehow got linked into the project and I want to delete the link, since none of the contents in this FM file are meant for the RH output.
In the RH Help documentation, it states: "You can directly delete documents linked by copy from the Project Files folder, and you can delete the references of the documents linked by reference. Right-click a document and select Delete.
When you delete a linked file, all its associated documents, such as CSS, images, baggage files, and multimedia files, are also deleted."
However, when I right-click a document, the Delete command is disabled. How can I delete the link?

Gurpreet,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I have tried FM - HRXSS_COD_DELETE_OLDPHOTO.
It deletes the last uploaded photo for given pernr.
I have tried FM - ARCHIVOBJECT_DELETE.
By passing the following params.

Delete missing link from AI file

How do I delete a missing, unwanted linked file from an AI file? The referenced link is completely gone and is not needed. It can't be relinked or removed since it no longer exists. It is has been a phantom for as long as I have been using the AI file and I would like to clear the "Could not find the linked file" pop up every time I load the AI file. Any suggestions?

This is the method I received from Adobe:
> After opening the file, select one of the missing linked files. Click
> the "Linked File" hyperlink in the bar under the menu. A dialog will pop
> up listing linked files, missing ones with a red cross. If you layer's
> panel is open, you can go through the missing linked files by using the
> "Go To Link" button at the bottom of that dialog, select the linked file
> in the layer's panel and use its trashcan.
>
> Rinse and repeat.
Worked for me. BTW the Illustrator file I was working on (and which I did not create) had more than 250 linked files, which I deleted one at a time according to the method. So it's clear why it would be advantageous to have a "select all broken links" / "delete all" option.

Delete a .csv file from desktop system

Hi All,
My requirement is to read the .csv file from the desktop system having the shared folder and delete the file after read successfully.
Here I can read the .csv file from the location using the function RFC_REMOTE_FILE and updated the content into internal table.
But I cant delete the file from the presentation server ( Desktop system).
Can anyone tell me how to delete the .csv file from the desktop system on different location.
Note:
I followed this link to read file:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/9831750a-0801-0010-1d9e-f8c64efb2bd2&overridelayout=true

Hi Rob,
Thanks. I solved this problem myself.
The solution to delete the file from remote system is
concatenate 'DEL' i_filename i_dirname into v_bkfile separated by space .
call function 'RFC_REMOTE_EXEC'
destination c_dest
exporting
    command               = v_bkfile
exceptions
    system_failure        = 1 MESSAGE v_ermsg
    communication_failure = 2 MESSAGE v_ermsg.

Delete an uploaded file (in custom table) from a report

Hi,
I have a report of uploaded files (the files are saved in my own table, not in APEX_APPLICATION_FILES) - I'd like to add a delete link to each file in my report so that the user can delete a particular file.
How do I go about doing this?
Thanks.

Melissa,
It is now working. You missed couple of things:
1. javascript in the header
2. you were pointing to the page 1 and your process was on the page 2
3. you passed the value to a non existing item on the page 3
4. the request which would fire the delete process was triggered by a wrong request

Unable to open linked files in new CS3 install

One of my clients just purchased a new PC (Dell Inspiron 537S) with Windows Vista Home Premium to replace his old Inspiron 530 (also running Vista HP). After installing CS3 Design Studio and attaching an external drive loaded with his file archive, all of his Illustrator files which include links load with the following error:
"An error occurred trying to read the linked file "file.xxx". Choose Repair to locate the missing file, Replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged."
This shouldn't be unusual, if the path to a linked file has changed, you'd need to point the link to the new path, but clicking Repair or Replace and browsing to the linked file (which invarably is in the same directory as the .ai file, and is usually a .psd which opens just fine in Photoshop) just cycles back to the same error message, ad infinitum. After about 30 tries, I got one of the links to load correctly, resaved the document, thinking that would repair it, but when I opened it again, got the error.
These files were created on multiple computers, and none of the other computers (all with CS3) have ever had any trouble opening them. This despite the drive letter on the external drive being unstable on the old system (would often be J:, K: or L:, and images always worked).
Any new .ai files we create on this file which have links all work fine.
Manually replacing the links in a file is not an option for two reasons:
1. There are thousands of .ai files in this archive, and re-linking images in them will take weeks.
2. It simply doesn't work. I tried ignoring the error on one file to load it, and re-linking the .psd backgrounds to re-save it, and the images still didn't load after re-linking them.
I have already tried doing a factory-restore of the system and reinstalling CS3, making sure that there were no errors in the install. What else might cause this behavior, and how can I resolve it?

What else might cause this behavior, and how can I resolve it?
Outdated permissions on the files from your old computer. Right-click, Properties --> Security --> Advanced, disable Inherit settings from parent folders, chose to copy. After that, delete outdated security keys and assign current ones. You may even need to go so fart as to Take Ownership of some files to correctly restore the new system's default security settings.

Is there a way for photoshop to AUTO UPDATE all linked files after modified?

Using the new Photoshop 2014 (version).
This is a very frustrating task for anyone using a lot of linked files.
As a web developer, I may have 50 files that contain one linked element. If I go edit that element, I then have to find the layer on each and every file it's contained in and click "Update Modified Content". There HAS to be an easier way. I really hope I'm missing something here.
Thanks to everyone looking to help.

OK. Now I see what you meant.
And you correctly understand workaround instruction. The problem is it does not work and I don't know why.
I'm not so familiar with Automator and indeed seldom use it except for a simple services wrapper under 10.6. So I don't know of any workflows off the shelf which use "Ask for Confirmation" action. But it is easy to create a workflow that, for instance, consists of "Ask for Confirmation" action only and is set to receive no input or input from Finder or input from other application and test to see if it gets keyboard focus. As far as I can tell, this action obtains keyboard focus automatically.
Here's another workaround you may try. Replace the "Ask for Confirmation" action with a "Run AppleScript" action with the following contents. This will show similar dialogue to let you choose two options.
on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
        activate
        display dialog "Are you sure?" with title "Permanently delete"
    end tell
    return input
end run
The workflow will look like this.

Safari will no longer open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop. When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing.
I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago. I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop. I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back. Can you guide me through this?
Thanks,
Betty

Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it.

Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it. Can't always Right Click for menu option as the web page is not setup that way.
Have tried trashing the Downloads.plist from the user library. Still no joy.
Thanks anyone

Hi guys
Thanks for suggestions. Carolyn, I did as you suggested but didn't solve problem. KeeChan, as explained in original post, that is my usual fallback but not all web sites work like that. Try downloading Safari - right click (Ctrl Click) on download button and all you get is the "Download.png" image.
I finally found the answer. A long time ago I had downloaded and used "SpeedDownload" and had deleted it. Somehow, some trace of the app was left behind and the mime association with dmg files was messed up.
You can not get rid of Speed Download by throwing its files away or by using an app cleaner product. You MUST run the Speed Download installer program and select the "uninstall" option to remove it.
My browsers now download dmg files correctly.

Acrobat Pro 8 - Linking files causes issue

We create projects that contain multiple PDFs (the number varies). For each project, a table of contents (TOC) is created. The bookmarks within the TOC are links to other PDFs. The issue we've begun experiencing is that after linking to a file, when previewing the document (via clicking the Pages option), one or more pages appear blank. Acrobat crashes at this point. When opened, the linked file will open, but contains blank pages. We then have to replace the pages with the source, which works fine.
This issue results in the process taking several times longer than it should. The process the user uses is pasted below. I was unable to find a similar issue via Google or searching the Adobe forums. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Inserting Files into the Bookmark Tabs
ALWAYS START FROM THE TABLE OF CONTENTS (TOC)
1. CTRL + SHIFT + D (delete all but 1 page of the TOC)
2. CTRL + SHIFT + I (insert the pdf file associated with the tab)
3. CTRL + SHIFT + D (delete the rest of the TOC – always #1)
4. CTRL + SHIFT + S (Save as: select the pdf file you inserted)
5. On the tab/Bookmark you're working on
a. Right click – Left Click
b. CTRL + C (to copy all the text in this Bookmark)
c. CTRL + D (Opens Document Properties)
d. Tab (the current title will become highlighted)
e. CTRL + V (to paste the text you just copied)
f. Press OK
g. CTRL + S (save)
6. While still on the tab/Bookmark you just added
a. Click on the Pages tab (to the left)
Errors:

Thank you.

Problems to delete big *.tif files

I have problems to delete big *.tif filese.
At first Windows delete it, but if i pressed F5 then the files are not deleted. I have tryed to delete it with and without Shift + Del its always the same.
When i delete this file many times then it would be deleted.
A other Problem with this big files is that windows open a dialogbox and calculate the time that needed to delete the tif file.
But i can wait 2 hours and more, nothing is done by windows. In the dialogbox dosn`t change anything.
Have anyone an Idea?
Thank you in advanced.
Daniel

Hi,
Does it happen to other files, just *.tif files? Generally speaking, When deleting a folder, the calculation time depends on not only the
file size but the file numbers of the folder. So you can delete sub-folders separately.
Also, you can try to use a popular methods to fix the issue. Here is the steps:
1. Right click on the file.
   2. Click Properties
   3. Click
Advanced
   4. Under File Attributes uncheck
Allow this file to have contents indexed in addition to file.
Also, you can take the following steps to fix this issue:
Step 1:
You may try creating a new user profile to see if the same problem occurs. If not then it could be a corruption/permissions problem
of the old user profile.
To create a new user account
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Create-a-user-account
Step 2:
If the new user account works fine then the previous account was corrupt, you may follow the link given below to fix the corrupt
user profile.
Fix a corrupted user profile
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
In addition, the issue can be related to third-party components, especially file system filter drivers, such as anti-virus drivers. In this situation,
I suggest you can delete the files on Safe Mode. If on Safe Mode It works fine, you could perform
clean boot to check the result.
Hope it helps.

How to drop external table together with the linked file

Hi,
I am running 10g and using the external table feature to move data between two databases. Now the procedure I am using has to make sure, that on the target db the external tables created on the previous run are not existing.
As far I know the statement
DROP TABLE <EXTERNAL TABLE NAME>; does not remove the file.
How to achieve the goal?
Thanks!

Can you use the UTL_FILE.FRemove function to delete the underlying file? That seems like the simplest solution. Assuming, of course, that you have the appropriate privileges to do so.
Justin
Of course, I'd generally question why you're using external tables and flat files to move data between databases rather than database links, but I assume you have valid reasons for that...

Can't modify/delete/replace dwg files

I'm having a really odd problem with our 10.5.8 server:
In a share point we have a ACL with owner&group allow r&w permissions inherited to the whole subfolder. So we all should be able to add, delete and modfy files we create together; and that's what the permission inspector tells too.
But:
Everything works like it's supposed to except with .dwg files. We can read dwg files, but we can't overwrite or delete existing ones. When trying to overwrite a file from a program, it just tells it can't save it. In Finder if I try to replace or delete a dwg, Finder tells it's being used. But they aren't.
So what kind of process there can be running that's keeping all our dwg files locked?
