Directory view to choose a folder
hi,
I'm in the Gui design of a product to synchronise two folders where i need to provide the user with the selection of a foldername.but i can't use JFileChooser as i need to select folders not individual files.
It would be nice if i can make the filesystem to appear in a tree structure i.e.,the Directory structure.Till now i have reached a stage where i can display only the user's files and folders in a tree format by giving input as C:\\Windows\\Desktop not MyComputer,Network Neighbourhood etc.,
i'm in a desperate need to solve this.Please help me out of this.
Hi,
Have a look at my JDirectoryChooser which does
exactly what you seem to be describing -

Let me know if you find anything wrong with it so I
can improve it for other developers,
MarkHi,
Thank you very much Mark and Alex.That's what i have been searching for.
The JDirectoryChooser was really helpful.

"00004.MTS" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
when i try log transfer from a sony nex-vg10 but my buddy can do it with no problem on my cam an macIf you copy the recordings from AVCHD cameras, you must copy the entire storage device with its directory structure intact.
I have even tried copying BACK files onto the camera and they do not show up in the transfer window under the last clip.
There is no information for those clips in the AVCHD storage device's directory index files. That means there is no way for the computer to find them.
Your last resort is most likely [ClipWrap|http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap] now, unless you can get the storage device exactly back into the state it is supposed to be according to the index file. -
Step 1. I open a web page.
Step2. I press ctrl+d.

Step4. I clicked the star button on the right corner of location bar.
Step5. I see the window now.
Step 6. When I move the cursor down that window to choose the folder it again disappears.

I'm on a windows laptop using iTunes sharing through the family to connect with Apple TV.
After choosing the folder of photos to be shared and displayed on the appletv and when I choose to show on screen, they are not shown in the order they are in the original folder.
How to pair show in a certain order, for example, sorted by name.
grateful
Julio CesarNot that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

Sort files in Finder column view for the current folder only?
Hi,
I don't really understand how finder sort settings work, even after using OS X since it first came out. Maybe someone can give me a hand.
I'm trying to sort files inside one specific folder according to their name decending. In general I have arranged them by label and sorted by file name ascending. Every time I try to use the settings in the "display options" (cmd+J), this applies also to several other folders. Even if I right-click on that particular folder to enter the settings.
Isn't it possible to apply different sort/arrange options to individual folders?
p.For column view, there is only one arrange/sort, no matter where you are in the hierarchy. It is based on what the arrange/sort was set on the original folder opened.
In the View Options, the Brows by ??? view checkbox controls what happens when you open a folder from that view. If it is set, then the folder opens in the same view as the enclosing folder. If unchecked, and you have set a view on a folder, that folder will open in the desired view.
Again, this does not apply in column view. Column view has only one arrange/sort for the entire hierarchy. -
Nautilus directory view settings
Nautilus forget directory view settings. I set up settings from the menu. Sometimes it change the directory view, sometimes it does not show hidden (what it should do). It occurs for different directories.
If you hold down the Command key (the one with the cloverleaf looking thingy) and click on an item a new window will open with whatever settings the item had last time it was used. If you hold down the Option key and click on an item, its window opens, with whatever settings it had, and the original Finder window closes. Otherwise just clicking an item in the Sidebar opens the item in whatever format the current window has.

Choosing which folder to save downloaded files to as soon as file is downloaded?
I'm completely new to this so if there's a simple solution to this, do forgive me and thanks in advance for your patience!
So I've just started messing about with Automator today and read about Applescript.
I'm basically trying to find a way of having a prompt for me to select which folder I'd like to save downloaded files to, as soon as the files are downloaded into that folder.
I've tried a couple of things:
Setting up a Folder Action in Automator for my Downloads folder.
'Revealing items in Finder'
'Get selected items in Finder' (thinking that this somehow grabs the items that were revealed and selected in the previous step)
Then running an Applescript (as an 'action' in Automator) to do something like this:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
tell application "Finder"
set the destination_folder to [choose folder with prompt choose folder]
end tell
end adding folder items to
Or something like this:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
select files
move files to [choose folder with prompt choose folder]
end tell
return input
end run
As you can probably tell, I really haven't a clue (although this is addictive and I can't deny I'm enjoying myself)... I've tried a few more variations based on scripts I've seen dotted around the web doing similar things but I didn't hold on to them so I can't show you them. The script actually runs really smoothly, and runs through with no errors - I copy a file into my downloads folder (to test) from another folder. The Downloads folder opens up automatically, selects and shows me the file I've just added then pops up with the window prompting me to choose a folder. It's just that when I do end up choosing the folder, the file doesn't move at all. The window disappears then pops back up again, then disappears after I press 'Choose' for the second time, as though something has happened. I suppose the files that the Finder revealed, selected and 'got' had no connection to the following action/script?
What do I need to change? As I said, completely new to all of this so please do treat me like I'm a bit stupid!
Thanks!Others have already given alternative pointers to solve your specific problem, but I can understand the desire to roll your own
From your script samples, you're on the right track, but are missing a couple of key concepts. I'll try to clarify.
Your script:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
tell application "Finder"
set the destination_folder to [choose folder with prompt choose folder]
end tell
end adding folder items to
First up, let's correct that 'choose folder' command. Specifically, the prompt - it should be a string (enclosed in quotes). As it stands, conceptually, you're kind of invoking 'choose folder' again, and the result of that is used as the prompt on the first 'choose folder'. Not going to work so well.
Instead, your choose folder should look more like:
set the destination_folder to choose folder with prompt "Select a folder:"
Note how I've quoted the text and now it's interpreted correctly - the selected folder will now be stored in destination_folder.
Now that you have the destination folder, what you need is the files to move. Fortunately, Folder Actions provide this for you in the way the command is called:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
In this case, these_items is a list of the newly added files., so all you need to do is move these files to the destination_folder:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
set the destination_folder to choose folder with prompt "Select a folder:"
tell application "Finder"
move these_items to folder destination_folder
end tell
end adding folder items to
Note how I've moved the 'choose folder' line outside of the 'tell application "Finder"' block - there's no need for it to be in there, and this way it will prevent the context switch where the Finder comes active to ask you for the folder.
Incidentally, this is a 'pure' AppleScript implementation, not an Automator action. The Automator action would be radically different in that the files would be passed into your workflow - you'd need to store these in a variable, then prompt for the destination folder and store that in another variable, then use the move Finder items action to move the files, like:
Personally, I prefer the AppleScript option -
Wish I could choose a folder for Itunes to keep organized.
I would like to be able to choose a folder for ITunes to keep "organized." I will never let it do it to my main library but for certain folders it would be nice to have.
Derry hello,
The organize command places song files into album and artist folders, and names the files based on the disc number, and the song title in the folder that is shown in the display window of the iTunes preferences > advanced > general tab for Location....
This command has no effect on the way iTunes operates or plays your music files... it only tidies things up inside the iTunes Music folder if that is the folder set in pref.... it will do no harm to your music files.
take care Derry .... TP -
No XMP ID written when ingesting through file directory view.
I found that media ingested using file directory view do not get XMP ID written to them at any point of my workflow even if the "Write XMP ID to Files on Import" is checked on Prelude, Media Encoder and Premiere Pro. Those are mostly files from GoPro, Canon DSLR and Sound Devices PIX recorders.
Media ingested through specific view mode like AVCHD and XDCAM EX do get a proper XMP ID when ingested. I'm transcoding on ingest so it is not a write permission issue.
I'm using Adobe CS6 (up to date) on OSX 10.8.3
Does anyone else have the same issue ?Hi jenny.
Ok my post wasn't maybe that clear, I was talking about the unique identifier that is supposedly written in the Basic > Identifier metadata field when you import files in Prelude, Media Encoder or Premiere Pro with this option enabled :
For clips imported through specific view mode, it works just fine and they get a long random string of characters generated and written on the Identifier field. For files imported through the basic file directory view, it does not seems to work and the Basic > Identifier field ends up empty. Amongst other things, having this XMP ID avoid cache file conflict for files that do have the same file name. And as we work on multiple project at the same time on a networked storage, we do end up sometimes with different files having the same name used concurrently. No problem when they have the XMP ID, but when they do not cache related stuff tends to be acting weird (like rebuilding and piling up new .pek peak files over and over every time the project is opened, we can end up with thousands of them).
The fast and easy way to avoid this is renaming everything we're going to import through file directory view but I'd prefer being able to benefit from the automated XMP ID generation.
Everything else metada related works about fine for me. -

CS6 download - choose another folder
Now I need help. Trying to download CS6 from Adobe using defalult download settings.
No matter what folder I select on my computer it says "try again and choose another folder".
My downloads dirve is first option and has 22 gigs free. The C drive has 317 gigs free.
The default selection was Curt (C drive) and that did not work either.
Win7I don't remember much of the process, because for me it just seemed to work. As I recall I had to specify a folder, not just a drive.
Did the Adobe "Download Assistant" install successfully?
Does it go into the download for a while before failing, or fail right away?
Does your username specifically have Full Control access to the folder you're downloading into, and your TEMP folder? One thing I always do on a Windows system is create C:\TEMP, give myself full permissions to it, and set my user TEMP and TMP variables to point to that folder.
Might want to do a CHKDSK to see if the file system is healthy...
Would you be willing to put up a screen grab of the failure? I know you're knowledgeable enough not to need basic guidance, but maybe seeing exactly what it looks like might spark additional thoughts.

Unable to choose a folder while publishing to portal from query designer
Hi,
I'm trying to publish a report to portal from query designer using 'export to portal' option. I'm having two problems here and may be they are related.
Problem 1 - When I click on the dialog box to choose a pcd folder name, i get the following warning...
"The BEx Web application does not correspond to the domain with which the folder selection dialog is called Another cause of the problem may be that BI and portal server are not running in the same domain Notify the system administrator or maintain table RSPORT_T_PORTAL and take note of the server configuration section in SAP note 444247"
BEx reports created from portal are working fine. The portal and BI are running on same domain and RSPORT_T_PORTAL has FQDN. What am I missing here?
Problem 2 - When i say ok and continue, it gives me the option to choose the folder. When I pick a folder (gave complete authorization to this folder), and click on Transfer to continue, nothing happens. The button doesn't respond. Technically it should copy the folder path to the previous dialog box from where I should be able to publish.
Could somebody please help me with this problem?
Thank You,
AshwinHello Ashwin,
I would start with a very simple thing: add the domains (URLs) to your trusted sites list in the Internet Browser.
Maybe it solves both problems.
Kind Regards,

Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered? It was described to me as a dvd matrix menu but I can't find anything like it for mac. The idea is that there are multiple videos on the dvd menu and you can choose to play "video A, then B, then C" or "video B, then C, then A", etc, in different orders each time. And it would play the sequence that you choose.
meghanica wrote:
I think that's on the right track but I'm wanting something that allows the viewer to choose the sequence when they're looking at the DVD menu. I only see how the creator of the DVD can make different sequences. It's a yoga tutorial DVD and we are wanting the viewer to be able to pick a sequence from the menu items as such: pick one of the 3 warm-up videos, then pick one of the 2 yoga practices and then pick 1 of the 3 cool-down videos and then the dvd will play the sequence of selected warm up, practice, then cool down. And it can be differently chosen every time the viewer uses the menu.
You can do this on a DVD with DVD Studio Pro.
DVD's have some very basic storage called SPRM/GPRM scripting IIRC.
There are a few tutorials around for DVDSP…
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/dvd_language_nattress.html
http://www.digitalproducer.com/article/DVD-Studio-Pro-Scripting-Part-4-28784
You use scripts to set values that are stored in a tiny amount of memory on the player & then have to use additional scripts to respond to the values set, so that at the end of a sequence it will jump to the one a user previously chosen.
Some things to consider…
DVD's have limits on the number of chapters & titles, you need to plan around that.
Some DVD players are terrible to navigate, the settings that a user selects will be forgotten when the player is powered off. Users will need to make the choices over & over, every time they use the DVD (computers may remember it - I haven't tested this in years).
You will also need to setup many variations of menus to be able to indicate what selections they chose.
It is not a trivial task, you may want to hire a programmer to set it all up.
Testing is also a lot of work - too many combinations can quickly cause issues for testing, different players can also do odd things too.
I have used scripting for basic, 'play all' or 'play chapter' menus where the video is encoded once on the DVD & the scripts will either play through, or simply play a chapter & return to the same menu.
You may find that it would be better to invest in setting up a website with this. On a custom site it would be possible for users to save a playlist or several, they can also share playlists etc, it would be more flexible & usable IMO.
See roaring apps for info on others who have used DVD Studio Pro with various OS's…
http://roaringapps.com/app/dvd-studio-pro …it looks like 10.8 may be the last OS to work correctly with DVDSP.
Other DVD authoring apps may be able to do GPRM scripting too, but you will have to search for them.
I think the registers are part of the DVD spec, so devices should support them, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video -

Oomph installer directory gets used as workspace folder
Hi there
my product (customized IDE) gets installed and
now also my own projects are setup (although I first had to learn that I need to double-click the setup in the wizard before I can really select my stream and that that was missing).
However, I now face the problem, that always the oomph installers directory gets used as workspace folder for my newly setup custom IDE...
I'm a little lost as how to predefine the workspace to the path where I need the workspace really to be located at.
I could perhaps use Resource Creation in my product setup to override the ini file and placing a
-data
../workspace
in there, but that's somewhat error prone, because other defaults placed by oomph into the default ini will have to be maintained by hand by me, if something changes during later updates.
Cheers

Yes, always. This way a user can influence the results of the other setup models.

The "install.root" variable is a so called rule variable, i.e., it's induced by the attribute rule that the user picks
for the installation location. You can see that rule at the top of your user.setup once you've done a normal
installation. There's only a handful of such rule variables. All other variable tasks that the installer might create in
your user.setup are always restricted to the scope that originally declared that variable, e.g., the "git.user.id"
variable that's declared in the Eclipse.org project catalog.
