Download ZIP file without changing file extension

I regularly download a zipped csv file, of the format: "filename.csv.gz". As the name does not change, Firefox adds a digit to distinguish it, so for example I get "filename.csv-3.gz". This is a pain as it changes the file extension which means that I cannot open the extracted file without first renaming it. I want to keep an archive of all the files, so deleting them each time isn't really an option, and neither is moving them to a different location each time. Is there any way the naming convention for downloads can be changed?

I think you have to disable it in your Operating system:

Run Batch OCR Without Changing File Modification Date

I'm running Acrobat X Pro (as part of CS6) and would like to batch OCR all of the PDFs on my PC (probably over 1,000 files) without changing the "modify" date of the files (otherwise they will all change to the date of the OCR, which will make it more difficult to find files when sorting by date because they'll all come up as the same date). Is there a way to do this?
If I've posted this in the wrong place, please tell me where to post it.
Thanks!

No. The modification date is a system function and requires access to the file info in the file directory to change, not something that programs normally do. There are programs that allow changing the dates, or used to be anyway. All I know to do is to create a text file with a directory of the PDF files, then go back and change the dates back to those dates. It has been a while since I have played with file dates, but it might be able to be automated (though probably with a fair amount of programming skill).

Upload file without using file upload UI Element

Hi all.
I need upload a .txt file without using file upload UI Element because filename is not insert by user. The filename is generated by program. I try to use 'GUI_UPLOAD' and 'WS_UPLOAD' but don't work.
Many thanks in advance.

As you correctly pointed out we cannot use the gui_upload and gui_download fm's in webdynpro because they require sap gui and WD Components generally run in a HTML or Portal environment.
The only option available is File Upload Element

Since the installation of Firefox 8, I cannot download a specific file type from email. I use this for work and MUST be able to open these files with a specific software. When FF opens the file, it changes the extension and it will not open. Help!!!

I use the Microsoft Outlook Web App for work email. I receive files with a .RXML extension. This has always worked just fine until the latest version of Firefox came out (I was using FF 7 until this weekend). Now FF changes the extension to .ashx when I open the file and I cannot download it into my software. If I go to the company internet site and download directly from there, it does the same thing. But I can open these files just fine from IE. I REALLY don't want to have to go back to IE.

I opened one of the PDF files in notepad and these are the first couple lines:

Trying to download a .tgz file without changing format

I need to download a file with a .tgz extension, and keep it in this format once it's on my Mac, so I can transfer it to somewhere else. But when I download it, my Mac changes it to a .tar file.
Is there a way to force it to download as a .tgz file, or is there a way to change it back from a .tar file to a .tgz file?
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
what browser do you use? In Firefox and Seamonkey you can right-click the link and select "Save link target" from the pop-up menu.

Change document type without changing file extension

I've recently started using Dreamweaver CS3 after nearly a decade on Homesite (which regrettably wouldn't work on my new Windows 7 machine). I like Dreamweaver's code view but find it lacking in some of the flexibility and intelligence that Homesite had.
Case in point: I work on a rather large site that uses Classic ASP. Most of the site uses .html file extensions, but we have these configured to be processed through the ASP engine. When editing the pages on this site, Dreamweaver sees the .html file extension and assumes they're regular HTML documents, and color codes them accordingly, but it can't figure out ASP comments and code blocks and mangles the color coding. If I try to change the Document Type (in the Application > Server Behaviors panel), Dreamweaver insists on changing the file extension too.
It appears I can modify Dreamweaver's MMDocumentTypes.xml file so that it thinks .html files are ASP. But I don't want to do this globally for ALL the sites I work on, only for this particular site. It would be really nice if I could change the document type definitions on a per-site basis, or to change the document type for a file without having to change the file extension. Surely I'm not the first person to use non-standard file extensions on webpages. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Replacing the Header in rule file without changing source file(header defi)

hi,
i am loading the data using header in the Source file (.xls).
I need to load the same file but for diff header (say instead of A1 i need A2) without any changes in source file.
can someone please provide information that how to change the header in source file without opening/changing source file.
Thanks in advance
Anubhav Bisht

HI SM,
thanks for reply.
the Problem is that there is two members in header defined in the source file that i need to change while loading the data.
the load rule is picking header from the Source file, so replacing in the field is not working..
do you have any other option/Suggestion.

Getting Package Name From Class File Without Parsing File

I am writing an application where I need to get the package name from a class file without parsing the class file itself.
Basically, what happens is the user chooses a class file from anywhere in the file system. I then want to use reflection to get information about that class. To do that I need the fully qualified class name. I know that the package name is part or all of the path name but I don't know for sure which part it is. I don't want to parse the class file directly for the package name in case the class file spec is changed (that way I won't have to rewrite any code).
Does Java have any way of getting this information without doing something stupid like gradually stripping off part of the pathname and trying it?

The ClassLoader way seems to work fine, copy a class file to "A.class" and run this:import java.io.*;
class ClassLoaderExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        class MyClassLoader extends ClassLoader {
            public Class load() throws IOException {
                File f = new File("A.class");
                byte[] classData = new byte[(int) f.length()];
                new RandomAccessFile(f, "r").readFully(classData);
                Class loaded = defineClass(null, classData, 0, classData.length);
                resolveClass(loaded);
                return loaded;
        Class c = new MyClassLoader().load();
        System.out.println(c);
        System.out.println(c.newInstance());

Open Hub export of file without meta file?

Hi Gurus,
I am daily exporting delta files with Open Hub Services to server.
The name of the files include dates, so every day a new file is created and also a new meta S_ file is created.
How can I export with Open Hub just data file without meta data file?
Because every month there will be 30 meta files which will be of no use for me.....
Regards, Uros

Hi gurus,
I've the same problem. I don't need of the S_ file. How can I block this file estraction??
Thanks in advance & Best Regards,
Domenico.

Redirect I/O to same file without temp file [SOLVED]

Is there a simple way to do the following?
command < file > file.tmp; mv file.tmp file
Basically, I'm looking for a command-agnostic "< file > file" that doesn't just truncate file.
I'm using zsh, if that matters.

Hi, i just uploaded a PKGBUILD[#1] for "rewrite" tool.
Usage: rewrite [-v] [-r "s/old/new/"] files.. "cat|cat"
-v verbose output (show compression ratios)
s/old/new/ sed expression for renaming files
files.. input file names to rewrite through pipeline
"cat|cat" pipeline expression to rewrite file through
This is a simple command for this purpose For example:
For example:

Is there an easier way to open photo files that were stored in my backup as Document Files besides changing the extension on each of the photos?

I did a backup on my mac of my phone. Then I got a new phone. I don't want to put all of my old photos on the new phone. So, I went to the backup to access the photos so that I could work with them in jpeg form on my computer. I have done this in the past with no problem. This time, when I go to access the photos they are all document files. I need them to be jpeg files. Is there a way to open then as jpegs without opening each individual file and updating the file extension? Also, why did this happen? I recall doing this with my prior iphone and the photos were jpegs and I didn't have to do anything.
Thanks!

Howdy,
This is a really good question about one of the bigger challenges of building a 3D project. When you add objects to the Canvas (including drawing), they get added in the camera's viewspace, facing the camera and sharing the same up-vector (i.e. positive Y is up). This is all well and good, but what about doing what you ask, where you want to add an object in the localspace of another object? Let's look at your example: adding a shape that is coplanar to a photo, with the camera not necessarily aligned with the photo.
As Mark suggested, you can draw the shape in the camera's viewspace and then drag-and-drop the Position and Rotation channels from the photo onto the shape. This will replace the shape's Position and Rotation values with that of the photo, making them coplanar and located in the same place. The shortcoming of this method is that you draw the shape at a size that seems correct in the Canvas, but once it's moved to the same place as the photo, it will often turn out to be too small or large. Then you have to make further tweaks.
Another solution is to use the Isolate command. Isolate temporarily aligns the current view to the selected object and solos that object. So you could isolate the photo and then draw the shape in the Canvas and it will be coplanar with the photo. The only caveat is that the moment you finish drawing the shape, it will disappear. This is because the photo is still isolated (and soloed). As soon as you de-isolate the photo, everything will reappear.
The easiest way to use Isolate for new photos—not ones already in the project—is to place the photo in a 3D group, position the group where you want the photo and shape to be, then isolate the group and add anything you want to it (shapes, image, text, etc).

How to make PDF file size smaller from an Illustrator file without changing the quality or size (length and width) of the file?

Is there a way to make a 30x42 size (40 GB) Illustrator file as a PDF but make the file smaller in size (able to email to clients) with out compromising the quality of the file or the size of the file?

If you are working in RGB you can embed a colour profile. Embed ICC Profiles is one of the Acrobat save options. It will increase files size dramatically.
When you save your pdf you can choose the compression method for placed images. Default is ZIP which is really no compression at all for pixel images. Instead you should opt for JPG compression (of varying degree according to how sensitive the images are to compression).
You should also examine the other Acrobat save options. To minimize file size you should not have any of the options checked (Preserve Illustrator Editing Capability, Embed page Thumbnails etc. etc.).
40 gigabytes for a file like the one you show is ridiculous. Did you maybe embed the placed images? If so, don’t. Keep them linked unless you really need to embed them.

Trying to reduce HUGE file without changing size

I have a 7.75MB (!) file. I am designing at full scale, wich is 90" x 90". Since I will later be using this file in a textile program and need to have it at full scale, I can't change it's dimensions. I have used live paint, layers, clipping masks, the works and that is part of the reason it is so big.
Does anyone know a way to completely flatten the file? I need to reduce it's size to a most 2MB. It is so big now, that I cannot even use the "save for web" feature.

Hello, winthur dewey.
Expanding will most likely not reduce file size. Nevertheless, I will quickly explain how you flatten some or all of your art work.
1. Both
b Object>Expand
and
b Object>Expand Appearance
are taking your complex objects and divide them into smaller discrete objects. Select some or all of your objects and try one of these commands to expand it.
See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/13.0/help.html?content=WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d010 0196cbc5f-62c4.html for a description about expanding (LiveDocs)
2.
b Object>Flatten Transparency
is taking transparent and semi-transparent objects and turn them into bitmap, and expand other relevant, selected objects. This is actaully also the command that takes care of expanding dashed lines (because of the transparent gap between the lines). Usin fnormal expand for this, will end up with a solid line.
See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/13.0/WS21A6953D-2FD5-4e21-8C4D-3410A9A09FBC.html for a description on the Transparency Flattener Options (LiveDocs)
3. Save as Illustrator version 8 is a quick and dirty way to remove traces of the Appearance panel and transparency, since this version didn't support those features.
See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/13.0/help.html?content=WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d010 0196cbc5f-64a0.html for info about retaining transparency when saving (liveDocs)
Important!: When dealing with transparency and effects, there eventually will be expanded to bitmap, it is important to have an eye on the command
b Effect>Document Raster Effects Settings.
This command will specify, what bitmap resolution your obejcts will be converted to, when expanding.
See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/13.0/help.html?content=WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d010 0196cbc5f-62c4.html for info about raster effects (liveDocs)
All these things will flatten, or expanding your artwork. In Illustrator this will not give you smaller file size, but rather more compatible file for use in Adobe Flash, QuarkXpress and so on.
If you need a complete bitmap image, you could try
b File>Export
and select some of the bitmap formats (JPG, PSD, PNG or TIFF). But 80" X 80" - I'm almost sure that is not the way to go.
It is difficult for me to give you advice for optimization, when I do not have the document in front of me, but I hope you (one way, or the other) is getting it into the textile program :-)
All the best

How do I crop .mov file without changing aspect

Hi guys,
I'm looking to isolate a figure on blue screen into exactly 350 x 400 pixels for placement in a cd rom program. I've been able to size it down to 498 x 398 as a quicktime file, now I just need to crop a bit of the top and sides.
Sorenson squeeze crops but I don't want any compression on it. Final cut and quicktime won't crop, but change the aspect. Anyone know a good program for a mac (free) or a way to do cropping?
Thanks!

maven2 wrote:
It's actually getting distorted not in Final cut, but in Compressor when I tell it to output at 400 x 350.
then you'll need to go the other way, apply some squash to the FCP layer so it is flattened. when compressor messes with it, it will be unsquashed.
The distortion is probably entering your workflow in the original footage which has been captured one way (maybe as square pixels), flagged in the camera to be pulled/stretched out to 16x9 (as horizontal pixels), then you've brought it into a different aspect ratio sequence and exported it (as square or vertical pixels) but Compressor is probably seeing original PAR flag.
