Document library: File name with spaces at EOF

I noticed a strange issue with uploading files with space at end of file (example "ABC .xlsx"). Such files are allowed to be uploaded for the first time but when the end user (with contribute permission) tries to upload the same file again
(overwrite) then it uploads the file and goes to the next dialog box where properties for the form is collected (EditForm) and then when user tries to hit save, he gets "Sorry this site is not shared with you" error. The owners (with Full control
permission) get the error message that the file needs to be renamed.
This does not happen with files having proper names. The files are automatically overwritten as expected.
Is it a SharePoint bug or am I missing something ?

Hi Prakash,
When we upload a document which contains spaces at the end of the file name, then SharePoint will trim out the spaces in the Edit Item Form, so the name for this document should be “ABC.xlsx”.
When we re-upload the document to SharePoint, because of that extra space it sees the filename(ABC .xlsx) as different to the existing document (ABC.xlsx) so it adds it as a new document.
And in the edit item form, the space has been trimmed out. Because there is already a document with that filename in the document library, it throws the error.
So this issue is by design that SharePoint uploads the document first and then edit the properties of the document.
For more details, please refer to the link below:

Sharepoint document library file name column in content database?

Hi,
How to get a sharepoint document library file name column in content database?
Thanks
Poomani Sankaran

You're not supposed to develop any solutions accessing the content database directly. It's not supported. Document Library Filename is stored in LeafName column, table: AllDocs.

File download - file name with spaces

I use the resp.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename="+filename) method. it works. However, when the file name contains spaces the dowloaded file's name is only the part of the string up to the space, nothing more. Is there a way to deal with it? I'm replacing spaces for '_' at the moment but that's not exactly what I want.
Thanks.

Is the filename put in between quotes?
resp.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + filename + "\"")

QT v10.0 "save for web" creates file names with spaces?

I find it strange that the additional exported files from "save for web" (iPhone, etc) auto exports files with spaces in the file names. Not only that, but changing the file names breaks the javascript.
I work on a server that denies permission to files with spaces in the file names. I know it's a bit archaic - but it's also a long standing tennent of "good HTML" to creates files with a hyphen or underscore instead of a space.
Is this something that can be addressed in the next update?

If your using cs5 or cs6 you might try Image Processor Pro which seems to use underscores
and has a save for web option.

Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

Hi All,
We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:
Copying files from one document library to another document library:
Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files:
In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.
Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
Thanks in advance

Hi John and all,
One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”, login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
library and tried to follow these steps:
From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
source document library.
From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
functionality not work working for our environment.
Are we doing something wrong?
We have referred to following websites.
we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

When I print, a last page is printed with a summary of document printed - file name, directory, ...

When I print, a last page is printed with a summary of document printed - file name, directory, ... Just got Windows 8. Is this something I can stop? Waste of paper and ink!!

Hi RebeccaQ,
Generally speaking, a summary page, document summary or document properties page is often generated based on a setting in the software application being used as opposed to the printer driver or menu setting. For example, in MS Word you can select to print this page with each printed document. In this case, depending on your version of Word, you can enable/disable the feature often in "Word Options", "Display", "Printing Options", "Print Document Properties".
Does this help? If not, which printer model and software application is being used when the summary is printed?

Wiki library file name & url

Hi All,
How to get the wiki library file names & url's using c#? Let me know if you have any queries
Regards,
Kumar

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to get file name and URL in wiki page library with C#.
You could try this code below:
// your site url
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp/sites/sharepoint2013"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
// get the document library
SPList docs = web.Lists["pageLibrary"];
foreach (SPFile file in docs.RootFolder.Files)
var url = "http://sp/" + file.ServerRelativeUrl;
var name = file.Name;

Problems with replace file name with starting and ending Bates number

When applying Bates numbers to a set of Acrobat pdf files I am unable to replace file names with the starting and ending Bates number. This is important
for me in a legal application.
The Bates numbers are applied to each page of each of file without any problem as required.
The Bates log file indicates that the files have been renamed as I wanted.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Professional 9 with the update to 9.1.9 and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (the last or current service pack)
In all other respects Adobe Acrobat 9 is running to my satisfaction.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
HRKExon

Thanks for asking the question, I hadn't heard of Bates numbers before and this gave me a chance to look up something new.
When I googled for ' bates number legal index ' I found this document:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/batesnumbering9.pdf
Maybe that will help.

Change file name with oreilly servlet

I am using oreilly servlet package and I want to change the file name to the file I am uploading, is this possible ?
How ?
Thanks.
here I post the servlet code:

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
response.setContentType("text/plain");
out.println("Demo Parser Upload Servlet");
File dir = new File("f:/");
if (! dir.isDirectory()) {
throw new ServletException("Supplied uploadDir " + "f:/ " +

try {
MultipartParser mp = new MultipartParser(request, 10*1024*1024); // 10MB
Part part;
while ((part = mp.readNextPart()) != null) {
String name = part.getName();
if (part.isParam()) {

Hi there,
I am facing the same problem that you have stated in your Feb 26, 2002 10:28 AM message regarding "change file name with oreilly servlet", I would like to change the file name to include a unique identifier upon upload, did you ever find a solution to your problem?
Thanks!

File name with symbols won't delete from trash.cache\trash\cache folder.

found this weird file name with symbols (squares nad the like) in the trash.cache\trash\cache folder. Can't seem to delete it from windows, can't get at from the dos prompt. Windows safe mode won't delete it.
Any suggestions as to what it is and how to get rid of it.
At present am trying reinstall of firefox and virus scan.
Thanks
Peter

I tried to do the instructions Adobe gave me but when
I put in the disc that came with my mac and hold down
C when it restarts it takes me to the screen to do a
fresh install.
At that point go to the Menu & select Disk Utility - I can't remember exactly which menu but you should be able to find it easily... there isn't too much there
I went into the disk utility through the Apps folder
and for somereason the option to repair isnt
highlighted and it wont let me click it. I tried to
repair permissions/verify but it doesnt change
anything. I looked at the info and it says the volume
can be repaired, but it wont let me.
You can't Repair the disk the system is currently running the OS from - That's why you have to boot from the Installer disk (or some other start-up disk). Repair Disk addresses directory structure issues - totally separate from what Repair Permissions does.

File name with Dateand time stamp.

Hi All,
I want to generate a file with a date and time stamp.
For that in File Receiver adaptor i am using option "Add Time Stamp" in File Construction mode. however it is generationg file name as: FileName_20082104_121211_645.txt . In this I don't know what these last three characters "_645" are? And In the File name i only want a file name with datetime stamp . I don't require underscore in between. for eg: FileName_20082104121211.txt (FileName_dateTime.txt)
Can anybody suggest me the way to achive this?
Thanks,
Atul

@FileName_20082104_121211_645
The date time stamp in XI's file adapter will be in that format. This is to avoid over writing of files created simultaneously at the same time. So the last 3 digits is a form of an unique id to distinguish between the same.
In case you want the format as FileName_20082104_121211, use the dynamic configuration and create the file name inside the mapping itself and pass it across.
To get an idea about the same, ref:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14 - an usage of the same.
