Duplicate text files being created with ~ appended

Whenever I edit a text file with TextEditor and save it, a duplicate file is created with a ~ appended to the end of the name.
Example:
After editing and saving my_file.txt my_file~.txt is also created.
The result is I get two files with exactly the same contents.
my_file.txt
my_file~.txt
I would really like to stop it from doing this. It clutters up everything. It has done this since I first installed the OS. My file system format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Any suggestions?

I looked through the preferences for TextEditor. I had "Delete the automatic backup file unchecked". I think checking this option will fix the problem.

Duplicate photo files being created in Bridge

I have a Mac Book pro with sno leopard and use CS5 and am having weird issues with photos from my canon 5d mk II and 7 d. Bridge is creating duplicate photo files after I download them. Sure adobe told me to purge my cache , ok, that works but it just starts re creating them again?

You can set up a scan when you create a new device in System Preferences:
go to System Preferences --> FCSVR Pref pane --> Devices Pane and then choose create new device ("+" sign and the Device Assistant will appear. You choose the type and then you can set up a Full or Add only Scan here.)
Other option is to set up a Scan via the Administration window in the Java Client:
This is not as easy since there is no Device Assistant.
go to Admin window in Java Client --> Response and then create a new 'Scan' response on the device you want to scan. 'Scan Productions' is something different, maybe you want that instead, I don't know. Depending on how you set it up, it can create a Production in FCSVR catalogue for each folder or subfolder and that media will be scanned and placed into that Production in FCSVR catalogue.
Anyways, once you create the Scan Response, go to Admin pane --> Schedule. Create a new schedule and add the 'Scan' response you just created to the "Response List" section. Don't forget to check "Enabled"...can't tell you how many times I created the response but then forgot to enable it.
Once you scan the assets, they are in the FCSVR catalogue with clip proxies, thumbnails and posterframes. If you have existing FCP projects that use this media, you will want to make sure the media in the FCP project is connected to that same media that was scanned. When you upload the FCP project, it will not dup the assets, just add the FCP project to it, unless you didn't set the EIP device correctly. If you look in Search All Jobs, the only thing that should be generated at this point it Edit Proxies (if you enabled them) and Elements.
Now my question to you is the same as Chris' question here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9147105#9147105. How did you set things up so far? What is your workflow? Where is your media?

Why is my Zip file being created with size of O KB?

I have the following code

                   throws IOException {
     File path = new File( directory );
     File outZip = new File("c:\\wip\\sams9dbExport.zip");

     FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {

            return name.endsWith(".xml");
    if ( outZip.exists() ) System.out.println("File exists");
     System.out.println(" Files and filters made");
     // These are the files to include in the ZIP file
     String[] fileList = path.list(filter);
    // Create a buffer for reading the files
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    try {
        // Create the ZIP file
        String outFilename = "sams9dbExport.zip";
        ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream( new FileOutputStream( outFilename ) );
        // Compress the files
        for ( int i=0; i < fileList.length; i++ ) {
            FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream( "c:\\wip\\"+fileList[i] );
             System.out.println( fileList[i] );
            // Add ZIP entry to output stream.
            out.putNextEntry( new ZipEntry( "c:\\wip\\"+fileList[i] ) );
            System.out.println("Added an entry");
            // Transfer bytes from the file to the ZIP file
            int len;
            while ( ( len = in.read( buf ) ) > 0 ) {
                out.write( buf, 0, len );
            // Complete the entry
            out.closeEntry();
            in.close();
        // Complete the ZIP file
         out.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
         System.out.println( e.toString() );

But my file is created empty. I previously added a println statement in the while loop to see if it was reading and writing bytes and it was.
Any ideas?

I have the following code
public static int createZip (String directory)
throws IOException {
File path = new File( directory );
File outZip = new
= new File("c:\\wip\\sams9dbExport.zip");
boolean boo = outZip.createNewFile();So these two lines will create sams9dbExport.zip with size 0 bytes, if file didn't exist.
No need to do that....
try {
// Create the ZIP file
String outFilename = "sams9dbExport.zip";
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(
tStream( new FileOutputStream( outFilename ) );Probably you are looking a wrong "sams9dbExport.zip" -file. Your application will create two "sams9dbExport.zip"-files, one into wip-folder with 0 bytes, and other into default directory.

LCK files being created with PAK files when processed through ODDC

I'm encountering a problem where after commit of a batch in ODDC the files are transferred to the server, but the PAK files are accompanied by a LCK file that is preventing the Distributed Document Capture service from picking them up and processing them. This started occurring after ODDC Patch 4 (14538424) was applied. I'd blame the patch, but not all users encounter the problem. Users encountering the problem are using Win7 and IE9. That said, users that don't encounter the problem are using the same OS and browser. Has anyone encountered this before? What was the resolution? I suspect it's a browser setting, but haven't identified it yet.
Thanks

I stumbled on a link in the oracle forum which says that the "create or replace package XXX" at the start of the PL/SQL procedure when run seems to intermittently cause the ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded problem.

When it was explained to me it didn't sound to hard of a task, I have no LabVIEW experience and the tutortial sucks.

This is not a free homework service with instant gratification.
OK! Let's do it step by step. I assume you already have a VI with the digital indicators.
"...but have no idea where to begin".
open notepad.
decide on a format, possibly one line per indicator.
type the document.
close notepad.
open LabVIEW.
Open the existing VI with all the indicators.
(are you still following?)
look at the diagram.
Who made the program?
Does the code make sense so far?
Is it a statemachine or just a bunch of crisscrossed wires?
Where do you want to add the file read?
How should the file be read (after pressing a read button, at the start of the program ,etc.)
See how far you get!

Mysterious files being created in pages. Unable to unlock or delete.

It turns out that you cannot update or delete a Syndication Map that is currently assigned to a Port in the Repository. You must remove the map from the Port in the Repository and then you can change and/or delete them.
1) bring up the MDM Console
2) Unload the repository
3) drill into Admin ~ Port
4) Remove or change the map associated to the port
5) Load the repository
6) Then you go into Syndicator and either Update the Map or Delete it
It had nothing to do with security.
Thank you for your help.

Exiting program after text file is created

i want to close labview using the exit.vi after the text file is created....also i am using c++ to execute the labview application is there anyway to make sure labview finishes its routine in c++ before i send the text file to a motion controler
the c++ routine to open the exe is
int main()
system("start C:\\greg\\g.exe");
return 0;
then the digital i/o command woudl execute
anyone know what i can do before sending a digital line to tell the motion control software to pick up the text file?
thanks

Given the amount of time it takes for LV to launch, you would probibly get better response time if you let the LV code run in a loop watching a predefined "input" directory for new files to process, and writing its results to a predefined "output" directory. The code that uses the text files would likewise sit in a loop waiting for a new text file to appear. (BTW: what will that other piece of code be written in?)
Alternately, if you don't like the idea of polling a directory, make the main LV application event-driven with a user event that performs the processing. Then create a small VI that you run from your C++ code that simply fires that user event.
Finally, given all the limitations of C++ perhaps the most straightforward solution might be to write the whole application in LV?

Duplicate Inspection lots being created

Hi all,
I have a problem with duplicate Inspection Lots being created in PRD system after a MB_CREATE_GOODS_MOVEMENT and a MB_POST_GOODS_MOVEMENT are called (from handheld scanner transaction).
This is only happening very rarely and we can not replicate the issue in QA system.
Anybody have any ideas on why duplicates might be created?
My own idea is:
There is a COMMIT WORK AND WAIT line in the code after the MB_POST_GOODS_MOVEMENT call.
When I debug in QA, I can see that the QALS table (Inspection lots) is only updated after the COMMIT WORK line.
Could it be a timing issue in PRD? - if I add another COMMIT WORK after the MB_CREATE_GOODS_MOVEMENT,
would this have any effect?
As the issue is not happening in DV or QA, I can't test.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Just to update this, incase helpful to anyone else, what actually fixed this issue
was that I set two flags on the MB_CREATE_GOODS_ISSUE function module.
This is necessary if you are calling the FM multiple times.
What we were doing is calling it initially, looking at the returned table, kicking out any entries
that caused an error, and then calling the FM again with the updated (corrected) list.
The flag XALLR needs to be set to avoid duplicate inspection lots being created, and the
XALLP flag needs to be set to keep the sequence of Material Documents correct (with no
gaps in the sequence).
    CALL FUNCTION 'MB_CREATE_GOODS_MOVEMENT'
      EXPORTING
        imkpf = ls_imkpf
        XALLR = 'X' " EDIT 08.06.2011
        XALLP = 'X' " EDIT 08.06.2011
      IMPORTING
        emkpf = ls_emkpf
      TABLES
        emseg = lt_emseg
        imseg = lt_imseg.

Accounts being created with administrative group rights

Hello,
The server is a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise fully patched used for Shared Hosting purposes. It runs Hsphere control panel. I am trying to identify how the following hack is happening.
1) There are users being created with Administrative group rights.   Below is the EventViewer log for the user creation:
User Account Created:
    New Account Name:    username
    New Domain:    PCNAME
    New Account ID:    PCNAME\username

    User Account Control:   -
    User Parameters:   <value not set>
    Sid History:   -
    Logon Hours:   <value changed, but not displayed>
There exists entries as well where the primary group ID is changed to the Administrative group, but I am omitting such.
2) I tried to identify what Caller Logon ID:   (0x0,0x3E7) means. I found out from here:
http://blog.joeware.net/2013/01/14/2667/ that I can use LogonSessions.exe to identify it.
Output from LogonSessions.exe is pasted below (snippet):

That is all great info, but I am not sure I can put together what I have learned to attempt and get closer towards identifying how in the world users are being created and then being assigned administrative group rights.
I am a Linux person mostly, but I am comfortable following a properly explained thread regarding windows 2003 R2 Enterprise issues.
The server is fully patched and it is running Lumension security product. What's more, Norman Malware tracker, tdskiller.exe (Kaspersky) and McAfee rootkitremover.exe have been run without any apparent Malware/Virus infection
Hope someone with advanced admin skills can advise.
Thank you

Hi,
You mentioned that, “I am trying to identify how the following hack is happening”, would you please tell us that why did you think the event represent a hacking behavior?
In a Shared Server Hosting environment, the underlying hosting control panel tool (Hsphere in this case) should be creating only virtual FTP users with a specific group. So no users with Administrative group should be ever created. If this happens,
it constitutes a breach of server security=positive hacking attempt.
>how in the world users are being created and then being assigned administrative group rights.
In addition, would you please be more specific about this question? Did you find the event message on a domain joined machine?
I want to be able to understand in full how/what process is allowing users to be created with Admin rights. In other words, I want to know what IP was used to issue the command, if ASP.net was used (abused in this case), or anything else related to
it so that we can patch this particular hole.
Best Regards,
Amy

4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.

I think to change my old powerbook G4 for an Imac intel core duo.
What about my files/project created with Premiere 6.5 if I want to open them with Adobe Premiere Element 9 ?
Is it possible ? Can i still work/modify them ?

I would recommend contacting Adobe for that answer, your question is about their software so I would think they would be the best people to ask.

Are cp file extensions created with Captivate 4 compatable with Captivate 8?

Are cp file extensions created with Captivate 4 compatable with Captivate 8?

Hi there
I believe you will need a copy of version 5 or 6 to open the CP with and convert to a CPTX. Then you can open using 8.
Additionally, you may discover that things become a bit mangled during the upgrades. Many have not gone smoothly and have forced a rebuild of the project.

XMP files not being created with DNGs...

I'm used to using Bridge with ACR to process Nikon NEFs. But a recent camera update has me experimenting with converting the D3's NEFs to DNG files and editing them with CS2 and Bridge 1.04 which works better on my system. I've also experimented with CS3 and Bridge 2.1.1.9 with the same DNG files.
In both cases XMP files are not being created when working with DNG files. I have enabled "Save image settings in : Sidecar ".xmp" files" turned ON. But they do not seem to be generated and I assume the ACR adjustments are being embedded in the DNG file. Meanwhile doing edits on NEF files continues to create .xmp files as expected.
I find .xmp files to be very useful and I'm wondering why they're missing with DNG files? Are they hiding somewhere other than in the same folder that the images reside in?
Thanks.
Russell

> The information contained in the XMP file is stored in the DNG file so there is no need for a separate file.
Aww, yuck!! That's a real drag...
When editing lots of files (yesterday's shoot produced 8GB) I back everything up to off-line storage and then, after doing all my edits and crops in ACR, I only have to copy over the small XMP files which takes no time at all.
So if I re-edit the DNG with ACR I have to re-copy ALL the files again to the off-line storage.
I used to sometimes even save 2 versions of the xmp files when I needed 2 different crops of the same images, such as doing a wide screen 'cinema' crop for a corporate client's Intranet presentation of their event, as well as more standard crops to be used for their newsletters.
Guess I won't be using DNG any more..
Thanks for the help Kees :-)

Can I combine two text files into ine with ZEN

I have to append a really long character string onto an existing txt file.
I tried to modify the file in ZEN but the app blows up when it runs. Is
there a way I could concatenate these two txt files together with ZEN
instead?

Another option would be to create two environment variables each holding
1/2 the string. Then use the Text file section to write the two strings
to the one file.
