Deleting Raw Files without deleting proxy files

Hello,
Another newbie question, is Deleting Raw Files without deleting proxy files possible? If it is, anyone have done this? I am thinking of implementing this but cannot find a way. Any suggestion / help is highly appreciated

If what you want to do is delete the original file without deleting the proxies, the easiest way would be to set up an device for Archives. Then you can archive the asset, which will move the original file to the archive location without deleting the proxy and database records for that Asset. Once that is done you can just delete the file from the archive location.

Is it possible to read/write to text file without deleting it?

I know how to read from a text file and how to write to a text file. The problem that i have is i need to use a text file to store data for my application to read and also for my application to write. I would like it if i could write two programs really, one reads, the other is used to update the text file. This file is a list of verbs. I thought about using databases but i couldn't get them to work. I downloaded MySQL server 5.0 and installed it. I then downloaded the driver from http://www.mysql.com/products/driver and ran the auto installer. it said everything worked out perfectly but when i try these lines:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
I get a SQLException that says no suitible driver
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
( I thought this driver came with the JDK but i guess not, i just read about it in a java book)
I get a ClassNotFoundException
that just says sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
So yeah, SQL is pretty much not working. I need a solution to my problem, either by using text files, or a different type of database. I heard you could use excel to create a database but i have no idea how and i hear microsoft access could also do this, however i don't have microsoft access and i don't intend on paying for it. So, here are my questions:
1st, is there a tutorial on using excel databases in java programs
(if not)
2nd is there a way to read/write/update a text file without deleting it?
(if not)
3rd is there a way to get SQL working, i have windows vista this could be the problem
(if not)
4th what could i do to store information on the hd for reading and modifying later?
thanks, lateralus

A database might be overkill just for a list of words.
Thoughts:
<ul>
<li>What is the extent of your "file updating"? If you are just appending to the file, opening it in append mode will keep the file from being clobbered.</li>
<li>Otherwise, why not create new files instead of editting them? The file names could include a version number or timestamp, allowing the reader to select the newest one.
</li>
</ul>

How to replace a native file without deleting it?

I was wondering if anyone can let me know to replace a native file without deleting it.
Thanks

Thanks for replying. Ok checking in a new revision is not an option. This document belongs to a plant. They have two revisions. One revision is released and other in Genwww. We have identified the issue which has a problem which has links that do not work. So people at plant do not want to check in a new revision as it goes through a 3 step workflow and it involves approvals etc. So best option here is to replace a native file and have the same approvers as what were there for revision 1. Would batch import work? If it does, how would it?
Thanks

I have two apple accounts on one computer. How do i delete one account without deleting the other?

I have two questions!!
I need to know how to delete one account without deleting the other account on the computer?
I am deleting the account because i have a new laptop that now has the my account... will deleting the account on one computer affect the account on the other laptop?

What do you mean by deleting the account? One can't delete an Apple ID/iTunes account. One just stops using it.
Since yo can only have five computer authorized for one iTunes account you might want to deauthorize the computer for that account

How to delete a page without deleting more than one

how to delete a page without deleting more than one in pages

Hi alldogsgotoheaven,
Method 1.
Menu > View > Show Thumbnails
Click on a thumbnail.
If it shows a yellow border around all the pages, they a part on a single section.
Click in your document at the beginning of the page you want to delete, and Menu > Insert > Section Break.
Insert another Section Break at the end of that page.
The page is now isolated in its own section and you can delete its thumbnail.

Ian.

Hi. How can I delete the table without deleting the content? My pages is 5.2.2.

Hi. How can I delete the table without deleting the content? My pages version is 5.2.2. Thank you for your help.

There is no convert Table to text capability in Pages v5.2.2, as there was in Pages ’09 v4.3.
You can keep the table while making the table grid vanish, leaving the existing tabular text structure. Select the table, and under the Format panel > Table tab, the following settings will produce this output. If selected, you can refine its document placement in the Arrange tab.

Need to read source file without deleting it!

Hi,
I have a scenario where
1. I need to pick the latest file from source folder without deleting it.
2. I need to post the data in to EP's KM. (how can I communicate with EP)
So can any put some light as how to achieve this.
Regards,
shiva.

Ideally, Source application should not modify same file. It should create new file so that you can archive old file.
Are you using FTP/NFS? FCC???
Have you tried option "Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check"?
I m not sure if its useful for you, but just check if it works.

Record into the middle of an existing file without deleting

Is it possible to record into the middle of a .wav (or any format) file without audition recording right over the existing file? Is there an equivelent of using the Insert toggle in Word?

Okay, well let's try answering the question you actually asked...
The answer is yes - although there's a constraint (as you've discovered...). If you pick a section in the middle of a file, and insert silence into it, you have an extra chunk of file, the length of which you can determine when you create it. Now, if you leave this section highlighted, and hit 'record' then you will be able to record only over the highlighted section.
So the constraint is that you have to define the time you want in advance. Usually that's not a problem - just pick a bit more than you'll need and trim out what you don't use afterwards.

How to sync pdf files without deleting existing ones

Hello Everyone,
I am new to the apple world and i recently bought an iphone 5 and an ipad mini. i am loving using them but i am facing a problem everytime i try to sync media. whenever i upload new stuff its automatically deleting the existing stuff. how do i upload new stuff ( media and pdf's) without deleting the existing ones ??
NEED HELP ASAP !!!
Thank you.

"Upload"? What does that mean to you? Syncing form iTunes? Is that what you mean? If it is what you mean, you need to select all of the content that you want to sync by setting sync preferences and once you do that, your media should not be deleted every time that you sync.
However if you are referring to Photos as media, Yoy can only sync one folder of photos from your computer at a time. Of you switch to another photos folder, the existing photos on the iPad will be erased.
So if you would explain exactly what you mean and what you are doing, it will be easier to offer a solution.

Deleting an asset without deleting the representation.

Hi,
does anybody know if it's possible to delete the asset with the proxy media, thumbnail and posterframe but not the primary representation?
regards

I'm not aware of a way to do this. Why do you need to do it?
Is it because you need to reimport that asset because the content has changed? In that case, simply CTRL-click on the asset and select "Analyze". This will effectively re-import the asset, and recreate the proxies.
Or is it because its a particular file that you dont want to appear in FCS, but needs to remain on the drive? In that case, it's a bit trickier. If there is a pattern to the files you dont want imported, then you could apply that as a filter within the scan response (for example, I've added "inprogress." to the reject filter of one of my scan responses to prevent any files that are still in the process of being downloaded from being imported). Another example is to restrict a scan to only importing *.mov files, to prevent any audio, documents, images, etc from being caught in the net.
If it's the second case, then I agree with you: there should be a way to delete the asset from the database, but not from the filesystem. The only problem with that however is that without the filtering I mentioned, the asset would likely reappear after the next scan was triggered!
Hope that helps.

Delete BLOB image without deleting associated row?

We have some BLOB data stored out of line. The rows associated with it have been set to NULL, but the image files remain and are filling the tablespace. Is there any way of getting rid of the images without deleting their associated rows?
We have also tried DBMS_LOB.ERASE without success.
Thanks.

Hi Liz,
You can't delete a cell, but you can move the cells below it up. Select all cells below that cell in that column. Either drag the selected cells up, or Edit > Cut then Paste onto the cell you want to remove. What this does is move the cells' contents.
To "remove" A2,
There is now a blank cell at the bottom. This has also moved the cell borders.

How to view contents of file without opening the file?

Does anyone know of a utility that will allow you to quickly view the contents - or a part thereof - of a file (particularly Word files) without having to open the file? I have thousands of files restored after a disk failure, but their filenames have been lost and replaced with sequential numbers. The only way of knowing the contents is to open the file, a tedious process for so many. I seem to recall seeing a shareware app that allowed this. Thanks for any help.

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and paste in the following:
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_num from 1 to 5
set the_item to item this_num of window 1
set the_name to name of the_item
set the_text to (read (the_item as alias) from 1 to 15)
tell application "TextEdit"
set text of document 1 to (text of document 1) & the_name & return & the_text & return & return
end tell
end repeat
end tell
Before running the script, place the folder containing the files in the frontmost Finder window; you may want to split the files between several different folders and process each folder before heading on to the next one. The numbers in blue can be customized as needed; the first one controls how many files the script will search on each run, and the other two define what part of the file will be searched. The output from a file which is in a format other than plain text may contain document formatting and other content which will look like random characters.

Unable to read resource files without fully qualified file names

Hi,
I have installed 9iAS and trying to read a few resources in the OC4J container. A few points to
note :
1. The <library> element in server.xml (global and
instance specific) as well as in orion-application.xml
can seem to only scan for jars/zips.
2. Also we are using the Thread specific classloaders as in doc :
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/oc4j/pdf/ClassLoadingInOC4J_WP.pdf
The issue is that so long I pass the fully qualified file name for the resource, I can read the resource. However, I am not able to find a way to include the "resource directory" in the classpath of 9iAS (global) or OC4J instance and read the resource file with just the file name. So, the following code works only when the filename has the fully qualified name for the resource file (Like F:\install\some_dir\file.txt).
ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
inStream = cl.getSystemResourceAsStream(fileName);
Can someone provide me with some pointers to how I can include resource directories in the classpath ? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishnendu

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Presently your solution is what we already have in place. Most of our properties are stored in a .properties file. However for all other application servers (sun one apps server, websphere, weblogic, tomcat), the classloader can read these properties without the fully qualified path but for oc4j; the code breaks.
So, even if I change my installer to hardcode the specific property to have the fully qualified file name, I would have written some code specific to OC4J that is generic to all other containers.

Replacing the Header in rule file without changing source file(header defi)

hi,
i am loading the data using header in the Source file (.xls).
I need to load the same file but for diff header (say instead of A1 i need A2) without any changes in source file.
can someone please provide information that how to change the header in source file without opening/changing source file.
Thanks in advance

HI SM,
thanks for reply.
the Problem is that there is two members in header defined in the source file that i need to change while loading the data.
the load rule is picking header from the Source file, so replacing in the field is not working..
do you have any other option/Suggestion.

How to write IPTC metadata to files without opening the file?

HI,
I'm trying to run a script (preferably in JS) that allows me to write metadata to a file. I can acheive this very easily by opening the file, but I'd need to batch process many large images, so opening them would cause severe slowness. The purpose of adding the metadata to the files is to search upon them in Bridge.
We're using CS5, but have CS6 if it's better to use.
My Script
// set current doc ref
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
// Set caption in active document
docRef.info.caption = "Some Meta-Data";
Do I need to use bridge to write the metadata without opening the file? Or can running the script in PS allow me to do so?
Thanks,
Tom

Its easy if you use XMP metadata.
app.activeDocument.info.caption (in photoshop script metadata)
and it is the same field as:
     Dublin Core namespace
     namespace:     http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
     Property:          description
you change description on XMP = you are changing the same image.info.caption
