Detecting directory structure changes

I'm looking for a way to detect any changes to a given directory (including sub directories). Any creation/editing/deletion of files would need to be reported with the name of the file involved along with a path to that file. This would be in a console based application, so no GUI work would be involved (I doubt that would change any answers, but I figured on throwing that out there anyway).
Thanks in advance.

The JDK doesn't anything for this today but as part of JSR-203 (planned for jdk7) we have a file change notification API that allows applications to watch directories for changes (meaning files added, deleted, modified). For now you have to poll the directories or use a 3rd party or open source library that has support for this feature.

Directory Structure Changes in iPhoto

Hi,
I have noticed that since iPhoto 09, directories have stopped being created for each event. Instead some random initial directory is created (sometimes just a date) and the event names are obviously then just being kept in a database. Now I already know that the iPhoto directory structure contains "no user serviceable parts" etc.. but i do like to backup my photos to a remote file server (yeah i use timecapsule too, but this is for offsite backups) and would prefer that the directory structure is somewhat sensible *just in case* (horror) i lost my iPhoto database.
With iPhoto 09 i'm going to left with a bunch of random directories and file names.
Any way to have this behave as it used to in iPhoto 08?
Thanks

No
You can backup by dragging the iPhoto library to the external drive or using a clone or backup program (I use Carbon Copy Cloner - http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
If you are "backing up" by copying parts of the iPhoto library you are not getting a backup of the library - you need to copy the entire library as a single entity or clone it or use an incremental backup program that works with iPhoto

Changing file name and directory structure for use outside of iPhoto

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to get iPhoto to name the files from my library to reflect the names that I've given the files in iPhoto. I'm thinking along the lines of iTunes, where its possible to chose in the preferences how the files are named, and there is some logical directory structure, such as "Artist/Album/01 - Track 1.mp3". These file names are updated to reflect any changes made in iTunes.
I've heard the argument that I shouldn't ever want to do anything with the files themselves because iPhoto can do everything I would ever want to do, but I want to organize the files so that not all of my organizational work is lost if I decide to stop using iPhoto and transition to a different system. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian

No it's not possible.
You can rename the files before bringing them into iPhoto, you can rename them with the titles on Export (Use the File -> Export command, it gives you the option to use the title and filename) but when it's inside iPhoto you cannot rename the files.
However, all is not entirely lost. Using Film Rolls (View -> Film Rolls) you can move pics between rolls, name rolls, create rolls and so on, as long as you do this in the iPhoto Window, and these changes will be reflected in the iPhoto Library Folder.
If at some point you decide to chuck iPhoto then (if the new app won't read iPhoto database files) you can simply export each album you've created to a Folder (using the File -> Export command as I suggest above), this, along with exporting slideshows will preserve your organisational efforts.
The iTunes database has a rather simple job to do: track a file and it's assorted metadata. iPhoto, on the other hand, tracks a file and it's assorted metadata, plus a Modified version, plus a thumbnail. If you consider what happens when you edit a pic, for instance - Copy Original, perform edit, save modified version, remove Original Thumbnail and then create new one - you can see it's a rather more complex job.
Finally, the standard warning: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss. Any changes you make must be made in the iPhoto Window.
Need more info? by all means post again.

Changing directory structure & song file locations: iTunes query

I have an external hard-drive which I have loaded with thousands of songs over the years but have never really used it. Now, I want to organise my iTunes songs but my limited knowledge has brought me to a stop... Please help!
On the external HDD, songs are located all over the place - the directory structure is bad - and I want to simplify it under a new structure. Some songs are also on my iMac's HDD which I also want to centralise on the external HDD. What is the best way to do this?
Also, I don't have any play lists organised so I don't mind if I loose the library information and start again UNLESS the library information also includes SONG information (artist, title, etc.). Could it be a good idea, then, that I simply start again? Specifically:
1. Can I just use Finder to move files around and change the directory structure on the external HDD?
2. Can I start from scratch and copy all the music files onto a new external HDD with the new, simple directory structure I want and then re-point iTunes using the "iTunes media folder location" tab? Will I lose all the song file information?
3. What do I do with the iTunes library? Is it best to "reset" the library somehow or should I do all of this moving using iTunes and therefore avoiding dealing with the library file?
Thanks!!!

you could use finder, but it would be far better if you'd let iTunes handle the moving and organizing.
2. Can I start from scratch and copy all the music files onto a new external HDD with the new, simple directory structure I want and then re-point iTunes using the "iTunes media folder location" tab? Will I lose all the song file information?
if you want to start from scratch, i would leave the files where they currently are. again, let iTunes handle it (see below).
3. What do I do with the iTunes library? Is it best to "reset" the library somehow or should I do all of this moving using iTunes and therefore avoiding dealing with the library file?
i would start over. launch iTunes with the option key pressed. click on +create library+. in iTunes, go preferences > advanced and point iTunes to the desired location (i.e. your external drive). in the same tab, disable +copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library+ temporarily.
now start adding content (file > add to library). when done, go back to preferences > advanced and re-enable +copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library+. next, go file > library > organize library and select both options like so
hit ok. iTunes will now move files as necessary and organize them. when finished, your iTunes music folder on the external drive will look like this
none of your music files will be renamed. artwork you added manually will be retained, however, artwork that came with purchases from the iTunes store may be lost. that can easily be added later on though.
post back if you need further advice.
good luck !

Change Directory Structure Created in MPZIP file

I'm trying to standardize my Multisim projects for inclusion in our documentation control system. As I build my project, I have a directory structure that I'm using. When I include the files in the project, the directory structure is remembered in the MPZIP file. However, the default is to unpack all files into the External(Project Name) folder. Following the help,
Extracted Path—The location to which the files will be extracted. The default is <project name>External\filename, for example project1External\amplifier.ms12. Use the drop-down lists in the Extracted Path column to select other locations as desired.
I can go in and change the directory path of each file using pull-down boxes. This makes a manual process and if I include datasheets, specifications, and dxf files, is quite time intensive. Is there a way to default to having the project to unpack to the old directory structure? Is there some other way to automate the unpacking? I can manually zip the old project structure, but other than the form of the directories, the MPZIP is so convenient.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Doug,
When you unpack the project, the default is to create a new folder and put everything together since it is unlikely that the new computer will have the same file structure as the computer where this project came from. If you want Multisim to create the same file structure as the original, you can click in the cell under "extracted path" and select the old path, if the folder doesn't exist, Multisim will create one. Unfortunately, you will have to do this for each item on the table.

Is it possible to Change Directory structure once the project is developed?

Hello,
I am a Newbee to OAF development, I recently developed a JSP page using the oracle recommended directory structure "<companyname>.oracle.apps.<custom directory>." ie., for ex: "*xxcom*.oracle.apps.xxco.xxco_mapping.server", the page worked perfectly fine when I ran it from jDeveloper.
but when I tried to deployed the same in the server to run from Oracle Applications, I found that our organization's unix directory structure where I need to deploy the files is not the same, they are excluding the "<companyname>" directory in there structure, the directory structure in unix looks like this "$JAVA_TOP.oracle.apps.<custom directory>...." ie., for example: "/u06/appsw/appdevcomn/java/oracle/apps/xxco", so now I cannot deploy the page I have developed.
How do I resolve this issue? can I change the directory structure in jDeveloper now to match that on the server, ie., change it to "oracle.apps.xxco.xxco_mapping.server" instead of "*xxcom*.oracle.apps.xxco.xxco_mapping.server"
Thanks

Yes, it is called refactoring. PLease see the link below:

Can't I change the directory structure?

          Hello Everybody,
          So far everything is working when use the default directory structure,i.e. mydomain/applications/myWebApp/WEB-INF/classes/some package structure.
          But we have application with lot of html files which call servlets like this..myWebApp/WebApp/myServlet.
          In order not to change my html files, I've created this WebApp directory under weblogic directory structure shown above.
          I've done some trial and error in web.xml file to make servlets execute. But 404 error is showing up.
          I tried putting in web.xml like this...
          <servlet>
          <servlet-name>/WebApp/HelloWorldServlet</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>com.reliable.servlets.HelloWorldServlet</servlet-class>
          </servlet>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>HelloWorldServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/WebApp/HelloWorldServlet/*</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          I also tried taking out slash(/) before WebApp but no luck.
          Can any one guide how to make this work.
          Thanks so much,
          Sri


What he needs is something like:
          <servlet>
          <servlet-name>HHH</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>com.reliable.servlets.HelloWorldServlet</servlet-class>
          </servlet>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>HHH</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>HelloWorldServlet/*</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          HHH is simply to link the mapping declaration to the servlet declaration.
          Then the URL would be something like:
          http://myserver:8801/appname/HelloWorldServlet/abc
          If this is the default app, then appname/ drops out.
          There is a good discussion of this in our docs and
          the servlet spec discusses this as well.

Changing directory Structure Problems

I've created a new Flex Project with a new directory
structure that I'm unable to import! No error message, anything...I
would like to be more specific, but I have no clue about what's
happening...

There may be additional details you could provide to help us
understand the situation.
So you create the project in Flex, move folders around,
export the project, delete the project from FB (but not from the
file system), and then try to import and it fails? What happens, at
what point during the import to show that it fails, and how are you
importing it?

Is there any way to specify a URL in the servlet-mapping that doesn't need to be in the directory structure?

          I migrated from WebLogic 5.1 to 7.0.2 Something I used to have set-up in 5.1 no
          longer
          works.
          I am using the weblogic.servlet.FileServlet and have the URL "/cxedocs/" mapped
          to this
          servlet. So whenever the URL http://localhost:7001/cxedocs/en_US/index.html
          is used it would use the docHome associated with the /cxedocs/ URL and then append
          the "en_US/index.html" on to it. So let's say d:\temp\en_US\index.html
          But now for WL 7.0.2 it appears that the URL also needs to be in the directory
          structure.
          So it now takes the docHome "d:\temp" adds the URL "/cxedocs/" and then appends
          the
          rest - so d:\temp\cxedocs\en_US\index.html.
          I can't require that the "cxedocs" directory be there. Is there anyway to map
          a certain URL
          without requiring it in the directory structure. I looked at virtual directory
          mapping too but
          it still seemed to require this.
          Any help would be appreciated!
          Thanks!
          -Lori


          I opened up a case with support on this. After some research they came back with
          that
          NO there is no way to do this. In 6.0 it was changed to follow the spec which
          restricts this.
          The URL must be part of the directory path.

Directory structure mirroring

I have my mp3:s neatly organized in a directory structure on
my disk. There's where I'd like to add and remove albums,
and would like the itunes music library to automatically
update when I make changes.
I.e. if I add albums on my disk, I'd like them to appear in itunes (and on the ipod when syncing).
And if I remove albums from my disk I'd like them to
automatically disappear form itunes and the ipod.
Can I make Itunes work like this? I dont like to make all
changes twice, i.e. deleting both from the disk and then in
itunes. This gets especially irritating when moving many
albums.
Ideas? Cheers / Tom

You need to create a form and assign it to the reconciliation process. In the form, you need waveset.organization set to where you want the user objects placed. By default, waveset.organization is set to just "Top". You can get the DN, parse it into a list and write the xml code to use the list to place each in a different virtual organization.
Start off simple, say create a container called Top:newusers. Take a copy of Empty Form and save it as orgEmpty Form or something. Define a field waveset.organization and just set its value to "Top:newusers". Then in the resource, set the reconciliation form to your new form.
Try this, once you see new ids show up in Top:newusers, you then can enhance the logic to be more sophisticated in placing objects. That is, parse the DN into a list and walk the list for a IDM waveset.organization value.
BTW, a good question to ask prospective IDM so called experts. Of 8 or so, I only met one that new how to do this efficiently.

Directory structure support and sluggish touch screen

I bought a Zen X Fi2. My expectations were high since I already had a creative some years ago. (I was quite pleased with the performance and sound quality etc)
However I am a bit dissapointed with Zen XFi2- The touch screen is not very successful. The scroll function does not work at a satisfactory level and sometimes (when I want to scroll), it makes a "selection" rather than "scrolling".
Also it does not support browsing with directory structure. For those people (like me) who are quite used to drag and drop type of copying for mp3 files, it is really a pain to re arrange all the songs for ID3 tag information.
I believe these two issues are software issues and can be improved by new firmware upgrade.
I also want to take this opportunity to tell that the software (interface software) that comes with the device is totally crap- I have never seen a software that tries to control the user rather than the user controlling the software. An ideal interface software for such a device should be the one which allows user to choose the songs from any directory, drag and drop into the device.
I was going to return my Zen however after playing around for a few days, I somewhat get used to its sluggish touch screen behaviour and accepted ID3 tag browsing (which still gives me a lot of problem) so right now I am gonna keep it.
May be software developpers can work on touch screen improvement, adding the support for directory structure browsing (as well as ID3 tag browser) and work on interface software a bit more ?
Thanks
Best Regards

This is indeed interesting because when you say "I don't have the problems you mentioned" I believe you also refer to the sensitivity of the touch screen. This makes me ask the question if my item has some problems. Since I do not have any means of cross checking this (apparently there is no other Zen XFi2 around me) may be I should ask you this question: "When you want to browse among albums for example, you wipe your finger across the screen so the screen rolls down; can you have it fluently like in an IPOD touch?- or does it not recognize immediately and you have to do it again sometimes?"
As for the volume button- I do indeed agree. For devices like this one; having physical buttons for at least volume, mute, stop/pause is a "must"! Choosing, browsing or starting a song is not a big deal however muting, stopping or changing the volume may be needed instantly from time to time. It is very unpractical to browse for volume, find it and adjust it!
Also may I add that for such a nice device, there should be a remote control on the headphone/earphone cable and should employ at least stop/play/mute/volume/forward/reverse buttons. I mean think about it for a while- why would you want to take use this device- apparently not to watch movies at home! You take it with you and listen to music, while cycling, jogging, skiing, roller blading etc. It is so difficult taking out the device from your pocket, browsing for volume button and turning up and down the volume (while cycling for example!) or skipping to next song with one touch!
Cheers

Directory structure and files in Oracle Application server 10g and 11g

Hi all,
I am doing a lab migration from 10g to 11g based on the use of JAXB. There were some directory structures used in 10g to store the JAXB jar files and some other custom jar files. I want to know the equivalent folder structures in SOA 11g server. The 10g server directories are mentioned below:-
1.<OracleAS_Home>\webservices\lib.
2. server.xml located at <OracleAS_Home>\j2ee\home\config in 10g. Where can I find the equivalent file to "server.xml" in 11g server?
3. <OracleAS_Home>\bpel\system\classes\com\oracle\bpel\xml\util.
4. <OracleAS_Home> \bpel\system\classes.

Here are the equivalents as per best of my knowledge:
1. <WebLogic Home>\server\lib
For example, D:\Middleware\wls1036\wlserver_10.3\server\lib
2. config,xml located at <Domain_Home>\config\
For example, D:\Middleware\wls1036\user_projects\domains\ArunBaseDomain1036\config\config.xml
3. It should be the same as 10g (instead of OracleAS_Home, it will be ORACLE_Home) if you install the BPEL product. Since, I have not installed BPEL/SOA, I am not very sure.
4. It should be the same as 10g (instead of OracleAS_Home, it will be ORACLE_Home) if you installed the BPEL product.
Also, I would recommend that you consider using ORACLE Smart Upgrade (JDeveloper component) to help you with the upgrade process. It exactly points out these mappings of file/directory structures AND the necessary configuration changes as well.
If you are requirement, is only about making the library jars available to your application, then consider reading the below discussion.

Data guard: OMF and directory structure

hi everybody,
i guess this problem is not too complicated, but maybe i´m missing something.
assumption:
- 10.2.0.4
- data guard with physical standby (primary: node_a, standby: node_b)
- primary db_unique_name=primary, standby db_unique_name=standby
- using OMF, primary db_create_file_dest=<myDir>/oradata
- standby_file_management is set to AUTO
- want to use same directory structure for data files on both nodes (<myDir>/oradata/PRIMARY/)
data guard is working as expected so far, data files on both nodes are created in <myDir>/oradata/PRIMARY/datafile/
next assumption:
- failover is initiated
- physical standby is recreated on former primary node (node_a)
from now on, data files are created in <myDir>/oradata/STANDBY/datafile/, old data files remain in <myDir>/oradata/PRIMARY/datafile/.
is there a way to avoid a second directory (and still use the benefits of OMF)? at least at the current standby node it´s possible to avoid this by setting db_file_name_convert, but what about the new primary?
thanks for your input,
peter
Edited by: priffert on Sep 14, 2009 3:07 AM

I have a similar setup with the exception that I'm using ASM for datafiles. The issue I'm having with OMF is that if I create a datafile within a disk group that is not in the location specified by db_create_file_dest then on the standby it's created in the db_create_file_dest. Apparently this will not give me the ability to maintain the exact configuration on both primary and standby without requiring modification after role changes.

PC - Moving catalog and directory structure to a new HD

Having filled my internal HD with images, I went out and purchased a new and bigger external hard drive. I want to move my images to the new drive while preserving both my directory structure and catalog information. From what I can see of the "move" command in PS Elements, it moves selected images to a new directory, but that's not what I want to do. I probably have a hundred named folders and I would like to keep the images in folders of the same name on the new drive. I don't want to have to move one directory at a time. Copying through the file manager can obviously do this, but I don't know if it will preserve my tags, etc.
Is there a straightforward way to move files from one drive to another that preserves both directory structure and catalog information?

Humm, this is strange-Version 4 is supposed to move entire folders; Version 3 did not do this.
Okay, Plan B.
Open Elements and do a Full Backup and point to your external hard drive.
When this has finished running, do a Restore. You should get a pop up asking if you want to use the existing folder structure. Answer Yes and point to your External HardDrive (EHD). This should copy your photos and the Organizer file over to your (EHD).
Now look in Preferences under Files (I think, don't have program open) and you will see one value for where to store photos and one for Organizer location. Change these to your EHD so future photos and tags/collections are written to the EHD.
Verify all your tags and collections came over correctly.
If you are satisfied the transfer went correctly, you can erase your photos from your hard drive to free up space. You can also delete the Organizer file if you want.
Option 2-Use Windows Explorer and move all the files from your hard drive to your EHD. This will keep your folder structure, but will cause havoc with Organizer.
Open Organizer and do File>Reconnect All Missing. It will be all of them. You should have an option to change the drive to your EHD. It may take quite a while to reconnect all of them, but since all the folders/files are the same name it should find them all.
If you wish, you can change the drive location manually. However, I've found many users 1) do not have MS Access on their machine and 2) are not experienced in using the program. If you are comfortable with the program, let me know and we'll get some directions.
Finally, I see a copy of the post in the Technical side. Since most forum users read both sides of this forum, I'm going to reference this thread in that post so anyone can see what we have tried so far.

Import already existing directory structure into DFS namespace?

Hi all,
I'm planning to migrate three file servers to a single DFS namespace and after reading the official docs and numerous blog posts I'm still unsure about the right way to do it.
The "main" server already has a share with a complex directory structure, called \\server1\team, and that share shall become the root of the new DFS namespace, lets call it \\domain.local\team.
Part of that already existing directory structure is this folder: \\server1\team\admin\communication\archive. The folder "archive" contains thousands of files in numerous folders and shall become a dfs link to another share \\server2\archive. But
before I can create the folder "archive" as a dfs link I have to create the folder "admin" in the dfs hierarchy of course, then below that the folder "communication"
Question: When I try to create a folder "admin" in the dfs namespace, I get the error message "the folder cannot be created in the namespace. The file exists."
Ok, the folder "admin" indeed exists, but how can I "import" this branch of the existing directory hierarchy into the dfs namespace?
Do I have to rename the existing folder "admin" to e.g. "admin2", then create the dfs folder "admin" and move the complete directory structure below "admin2" to "admin"? Or can I simply make the existing folder
"admin" a dfs folder?
Thanks in advance!

Mandy, thanks for your feedback!
I have to describe my problem more precisely: creating the root of the new DFS namespace is *not* the problem. This worked for me exactly as you expained it. The problem appears when I try to create a folder below that root in the DFS namespace. If that
folder already exists in the share you cannot choose how to handle security settings but you get an error message, and that's it.
This may be helpfull to explain what I want to achieve:
Old structure:
\\server1\team - folder admin - subfolder "archive" - lots of subfolders and files
Now I want to move all files and folders from "archive" to \\server2\archive and link this share into the new DFS namespace, so that our users don't notice any change when they access that archive folder.
new structure:
1. Create DFS namespace root: \\domain.local\team -> \\server1\team   (works!)
            |
2. Create folder admin (problem!)
            |
3. Create subfolder "archive" -> \\server2\archive (not possible becaues "admin" couldn't be created)
I could perhaps create a DFS namespace with the root \\server1\team\admin\archive and link that to \\server2\archive, but I would like to avoid creating a new namespace for each share which from \\server2 which I mount into some subfolder of \\server1\team...
Thanks for reading.
