Displaying complete file names on the desktop

I think there was a way to get the finder to display the complete file names on the desktop. Some terminal command. Can anybody help?

I have files on the Desktop that don't have that issue. But when I add characters to them I eventually reach the breaking point -- 37 characters is fine; 38 characters causes the file name to truncate. I suppose there may be a way to set a secret pref to show a larger number of characters using Terminal.
Anyone know how many characters the OS file system is limited to -- ignoring display issues, I mean?

Displaying photo file names in the slideshow

I don't think this has been asked yet, so....Does anyone know of a way to display the photo name when you are viewing the slideshow on the ATV similiar to the way you can view the file name in the iphoto slideshow? I haven't found this option if it exists in the ATV slideshow settings.
Thanks

Click on the Organizer top menu:
View >> Details >> Filenames
Then adjust the zoom slider to show more or less information under each thumbnail.

Not to display the file name in the browser bar.

Hello,
Merry Christmas to all,
Is it possible not to display the file name in the browser bar?
Like say, when we write www.rediff.com, the index page name is not displayed.
Likewise is it possible for any other page too.
What I want is not to display any of the page name for the whole application.
Whichever page is requested the page name should not appear in the address bar of the browser.
How will I do that, what logics should I apply?
Please suggest,
Thanks,

first, what does this have to do with Java?
second, no; in order to display something, the browser needs to know where it is. and if it knows, then a user can find out too. maybe you can make it not show up in an address bar sometimes, but that really achieves nothing

Display a file name in th URL instead of the procedure name

Hi ,
I’ve created a Portlet that would show a word doc stored in a blob when a user clicks on a link. However only the procedure name that downloads the word document from the BLOB appears in the URL but not the actual file name. Is there a way to show the actual file name in the URL instead of the PL/SQL procedure name ??

Hi Samer_asn,
I am trying to do exactly what you did.
Can you tell me how you could retrieve the word doc from blob and show it in a portlet when a user clicks on a link
Thanks in advance

Photoshop Elements 10 - 'Save As' text no longer displaying existing file, which matches the text so far entered

Photoshop Elements 10 (On Windows 8.1 64-bit laptop)
Until recently, 'save as' showed any existing file name, which exactly matched the text so far typed.
That's particularly useful when creating multiple photo files, with suffixes of '(1)', '(2)', etc.
Suddenly that great facility has stopped, forcing me to always type the complete file name for each new item.
I assume that a setting has been lost.
How do I get it back?

Thanks again.
I held the keys down for at least 15 seconds in my previous attempts.
I’ve just tried the entries, holding the keys for around 30 seconds, with the same results (or lack of same).
Thinking about my thought of copying the Preference settings from the same program on my desktop, I looked on the Internet for Photoshop Elements 10 Preferences file locations. I found a display, which suggested: C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements (9.0\10.0\11.0)\Editor
From that, it appears that mine may be held in:
C:\Users\Fred Niven\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Editor
But I’m reluctant to copy any such file from my Windows 8.1 desktop’s Photoshop Elements 10’s file(s),
to replace the equivalent file(s) on this laptop, until I know that I’m replacing the correct file(s).
I’d create a System Restore Point beforehand anyway, just-in-case.
Cheers,
Fred

Reading file names in the unix box

Hello,
I did the following to read the files from the local directory.
String s1 = "c:\samplefiles"
File dir = new File(s1);
if(dir.isDirectory())
String listoffiles [] = dir.list();
for(int i = 0; i <listoffiles.length ; i++)
System.out.println(listoffiles);
else
System.out.println("Its not a directory");
How can i read and print the file names in the unix box?
Thank You.
Kumar

Thank You for the reply.
In my custom page, i am trying to include a search page which includes date parameters based on which the pdf files in the unix box should be displayed in the page as a list. (The pdf file names start with the date).
Once the user clicks the file names displayed in the page, i need to open the pdf. This part i can handle but to search the file names based on the parameter names and display in the page as the list is a bit confusing.
Thank You.

Changing of the physical file name of the file after archiving

Hi all,
We are in process of archiving and completed the process successfully and archived to o:\PRODSID\<filename>.
When refresh is happening from Prod to Quality the archived data will come as O:\PRODSID\<filename> and the archived files will not be accessible since quality system is not able to find the path with O:\PRODSID\<filename>.
Is there anyway i can change the physical file name of the archived files to correct path O:\QUALITYSID\<filename>, i need to change only the SID only from PRD to QUALITY.
Thanks,
Subhash.G

Hi Subash,
Do you want change the Physical File name or the Path from PROD to SID.
Path :- in the transaction called FILE, double click on Logical Path Definition , select the Logical File and double click on "Assignment on Physical Path to Logical Path" and you can change FILENAME also here
Thanks,

How to pass the local file name to the workflow in TC OAWD

Hi everybody!
I have to pass the local file name of the image as a parameter to a workflow in TC OAWD.
By debugging I found the FM which starts the workflow - 'ARCHIV_PROCESS_FAXINPUT' . It has two importing parameters : FRONTENDPATH and BASICFILENAME, but they are not used by calling the FM.
Do you have an idea if there is a DDIC table, which contains the local file name or another way to solve the issue.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Not sure of what you want.
Have a look at v$session view. Machine column is maybe what you're looking for.
If you want to retrieve the local host executing remote desktop, it's actually not possible natievely, since it's still remote host that is connecting to the database.
Hope it helps.

In mini bridge, is it possible to view the file name and the rating at the same time?

Hello,
In mini bridge, is it possible to view the file name and the rating at the same time?
Thank you.

if you know when a new image arrives and you can retrieve that new image file name ...
Well, that's precisely my doubt, how can I know the file name? Is there a property/method for it?
function loadImages() {
for (var i:int=0; i<imagesNames.length; i++) {
var imgLoader:Loader=new Loader;
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imgLoaded);
imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(imgPath + imagesNames[i]));
function imgLoaded(par:Event):void {
trace(par.target,par.target.content,par.target.content.name);
Output window:
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance160
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance159
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance161

"Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

Hello,
When I tried save as a file, I get an error msg:
"Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."
The file is not open anywhere accept Photoshop.
Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.6
Photoshop CS4.
I searched the forum but could not find anything even though i'm sure someone already asked it.
would love to get a solution for that.
thank you,
shlomit

There is a problem with both Photoshop and InDesign, then we can blame wich ever it is.
1. I open a .psd file in Photoshop CS4 by double clicking it in Bridge
2. This image is placed on a page in a open InDesign document.
3. Doing some changes in Photoshop on the image.
4. Trying to save and get this error message (this topics subject)
5. Deleting the image from the page in ID doc, it is the only one in the document.
6. Can't still save file.
7. Closing ID completely and now I am able to save the file.
I tried turning of Live preflight in Indegisn but that didn't help.
So probably the fault is InDesign or the MacOS. I didn't have this problem with CS3. It is a stupid problem because this type of workflow is pretty common and one would expect it to be solved by now.

Can MediaSource display MP3 file name instead of MP3 tag information? ; Playlist default locat

?I am using Creative MediaSource Player 5.0.38 as an MP3 player on my computer:?. Can we get MediaSource to display mp3 file names instead of mp3 tag information when file is being played as part of a Playlist???2. Playlists are stored in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Creative\Media Database\
or if not logged in as Administrator:
C:\Documents and Settings\[name of your account]\Application Data\Creative\Media Database\?Unlike with Creative PlayCenter, default location of Playlists cannot be changed in Windows registry.?Is there any?way to change Playlist default location?
??3. If Shuffle play mode is selected, MediaSource will still always play the first file on the Playlist? and only then switch to shuffle mode. I found a workaround for this because old PlayCenter 2 had this problem, is this a known bug that they still haven't fixed after all these years???Message Edited by c627627 on 04-6-200706:33 PM

Hi,
I understand you want to place description of Content type as refiner in Search Refinement.
Without coding, you may considering adding a column for description and use this column as refiner.

Changing file names in the Information Pane

Why doesn't changing the names of photographs in the Information Pane also change the name of the files in the iPhoto Library folder??
If I import photos direct from my camera, the photos are stored with generic file names (like DSC_006) in the Original Folder and the Data folder in iPhoto Library folder. Once stored there, I understand that if you move, delete or "rename" any of those files "in the Finder" that iPhoto may not thereafter be able to see them.
But I don't understand why if you change those file names in the Information Pane from within the iPhoto application, why the actual file names in the Original and Data folder aren't correspondingly changed.
I would prefer to eliminate the generic file names and presently the only way that I can do that is to simply transfer the photos from the memory cards, change the file names and then import the files into iPhoto.
This seems like an unnecessary step.
Am I missing something here?

If you want the capability of editing the original file names they you'll need to upgrade to a more professional application like iView MediaPro. Aperture doesn't let you change the original file names from within the application.
If you need to the use file outside iPhoto with the same name as the Title in iPhoto then you can do just as PhillyPhan pointed out, export to the Desktop using the User Title option.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
