Detecting files in a folder

Hi.
Is it possible for flash to detect the number of files (ie.
images) stored in a folder / directory on the server or local
machine. In the same way that it can look into an xml file and
detect the number of nodes (i know this is completly different but
its the best way i can explain it). What i want to do is load
images dynamically into flash without having to know how many
images are in the folder before hand. I know i can do this with an
xml file to direct flash to each image and update the xml
accordingly but i am wondering if it is possible to get flash to
detect this automattically?
thanks
Barry.

hey barry,
i just went through the same exact thing (check out my post:
dynamic insertion) and it turns out that flash can not search out a
directory and detect its contents. wish it could, man.

Import Server detects file in Ready folder but does not process

I have a problem where MDIS detects a file in the ready folder, but it does not launch the import:

The log file shows the above. You can see it detects the file is there, but since it does not launch the import it does not process the file or even move it to the exception or archive folders. I have confirmed settings in the MDIS.ini file, e.g. password, etc. I can import the same file using Import Manager without any errors.
Please help!

Hi Jitesh,
Your suggestion to try a different file type yielded positive reults. I created a simple tab delimited text file and import map and changed the existing Port from using XML based on the MATMAS05 schema to using the text file. The log shows:

The text file was immediately picked up and imported. This thus proves that (1) MDIS is functioning, (2) user / password is correct. Unfortunately you will also see from the log above that when I changed the port back to run on XML the problem has not been resolved.
Any ideas?

Counting files in a folder and showing results in an alert window.

Hello all.
I would like to get the script to count the number of files in a selected folder.
I have a UI where there are browse, ok and cancel buttons.
I wanted the OK button to show the number of jpeg files in the selected folder. If no folder is selected, and the OK button is pressed, it would prompt the user to select a folder before pressing the OK button.
Thanks!

all you need to learn scripting is in the "JavaScript Tools Guide", you're making some progress but reading that and following the samples will make things clear and speed the learning proccess up.
if you look at your code there's only one function, it is called when the Browse button is clicked. See how it is constructed and write another similar function for the Ok button, in there read the contents of the label box and create a folder with that path, then call the function to read the files.
dlg.Panel1.okBtn.onClick = function (){
   selectedFolder = new Folder(decodeURI(dlg.Panel1.Path.text));
   if (selectedFolder.exists)
        doSomething (selectedFolder);
   else
        alert("select a folder first...");
dlg.center(); //center dialog box on screen
dlg.show(); //show dialog box
function doSomething(folder)
        files = folder.getFiles();
        alert(files.length + " Files in selected Folder");
        alert(files);

Archiving file in different folder in sender file adapter

/folder3/file3.txt need to be archive in /archive_filder3/file3.txt
can any one tell me that how to define the dynamic archive folder path??.
regards,
Navneet

Hi Navneet
In File Access parameters --> Target Directory
Use this type of Directory name
\XIDEV_STORES\%store%\sapoutbound
here %store% will be changed accordingly
e.g. if file will come for store 001 then this %Store% will be replaced by 001 and file will be placed in this 001 folder and if file will come for store 002 then this %Store% will be replaced by 002 and file will be placed in this 002 folder over FTP.
For to achieve this Go to Advanced tab
For Variable Substitution check mark Enable
Now speciofy the parameter values for Variable Name and Reference
Under Vriable name specify = store
Under Reference specify = payload:WP_PLU02,1,IDOC,1,EDI_DC40,1,RCVPRN,1 -
You have to give full path name here that where this store variable is located into IDOC.
Hope this example will help you

Does itunes automatically copy files to its folder?

If I download music from a website to my desktop, and then doubleclick the icon on my desktop, it starts playing in itunes. But it also looks like it saves a copy of the file in the itunes music folder. Can i just safely delete the files off my desktop now (and still play the music in future) because they have been automically copied into the itunes folder?
Also, is there a way to turn this feature off, so that I can still play the music by clicking on the icons on the desktop, but itunes doesn't automatically copy the files into its folder?

Hi Jeff,
iTunes does put a copy of the song in your Music Folder, and yes, you can delete the file off your Desktop as soon as it opens in iTunes, I'll take a minute now to see if you can turn off the automatic copying feature.
Edit:
You can turn off the auto-copy setting by going to iTunes-Preferences-Advanced-uncheck the box next to "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to library"

Importing All the files from a folder at a time

Hi....
Can any body tell me how to import set of files from a folder into IDM.
It is becoming very difficult to import the files one after other....
Waiting for Reply....
Thanks in advance..........

We used an ant script to build an XML file that will contain the files. The script is configured to use the folder structure of our CVS repository.
We'd checkout our XML module and then run the build script and import the resulting init file.
Code to the script is below -- caveat emptor. You'll need to change the folder structure to suit your own environment.

Authenication needed when moving or saving files to a folder

I've been online searching but can't find a resolution to disabling having to authenticate when moving or saving files to any folder.
I read something about using Terminal and tried the suggestion which was typing in
sudo chawn -R yourshortname . Then putting in my password when prompted. It either will not type my password or not accept it.
Can anyone help? Thanks

You can't disable or correct it with that command. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1216618 for more information.

FILE DELETE FROM FOLDER

HI ALL,
I AM USING THIS METHD FOR DELETING THE FILE FROM THE

THANKS AND REGARDS,
SUGEET.

Hi,
You should declare a local variable of TYPE I and pass it to RC. RC is nothing but a return code set by system upon successful deletion or otherwise of the file that you have specified for filename.
Some thing like the following,
DATA: lv_subrc TYPE i.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_delete
EXPORTING
filename = 'E:FOLDER1TEST1.XLS'
changing
rc = lv_subrc.
IF lv_subrc NE 0.
****Deletion failed..
ENDIF.
Hope this helps..

I have installed itunes 11.0.2.26. When I delete a file or podcast I am not being prompted to delete the file from its folder at the same time. How do I restore this facility? I am running a 64bit Windows 7 OS

Is the media files in question in the iTunes library or elsewhere on the computer?

KIO (Dolphin) is failing to detect file changes automatically.

I am facing something very similar to the following bug.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207361
Dolphin opened to a directory. Konqueror opened to the same directory. If I delete a file from that folder via console Dolphin doesn't update the file list. Konqueror does.
Can anyone else test it?
Any option I should check?

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder, what happens if I delete the photo in Iphoto ? Will the original file in the folder be deleted too?

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder to iphoto, what happens if:
1. I delete that photo in iphoto? will the original file in the folder be deleted too ?
2. when importing, does the hard disk store 2 versions of the photo, hence occupying additional space in the harddisk?

1 - no -- iPhoto only manages fiel within the iPhoto library - it does not ever do anything with files outside the library
2 - No idea what you are asking - by default (and strongly recommended) iPhoto copies the original to the iPhoto library and you delete the source file outside the iPhoto library - iPhoto alwasy has at least two versions of every photo and some times three - it always have the original, a thumbnail and once a photo is modified a preview - this is not optional - if it is not what you want then iPhoto is not the correct progrtam to be using for phopto management
