Easy for you?

I'm losing my temper trying to achieve what I suspect is a trivial scripting task. In any case perhaps one of you will help me:
I want to select a range of .jpg files that have been captured into a folder and drag them over an automator app/folder --
1. A new folder is created and I'm able to name it
2. This folder becomes a placed inside another pre-determined folder.
3. The jpegs dragged over the app are moved into this new folder and are no longer in the original 'capture' folder

lol - I have to say, that sounds just a little bit weird
I'm not sure I understand the problem, though - the script I gave should do that (your assistant will create and name the folder in the correct place with the 'choose folder' dialog). I mean, of course, we could write a script that would create the folder first and then ask your assistance for a new name, but I don't see what difference that makes to the process. see what I mean?
the 'move' command should actually move (not copy) the files, except if you're copying from or to an external disk or card. then it will copy. if that's the case, make this change:
to doit(theFiles)
set theFolder to choose folder with prompt "Please choose or create a folder"
tell application "Finder"
move theFiles to theFolder
delete theFiles
end tell
end doit
the delete command will move the originals to the trash. you can also add the line 'empty trash' to automatically empty the trash after the move, but it's probably better to let them sit in the trash until you're sure it's safe to delete them.

  • Easy for you but hard for me

    I am sure this will be a simple issue for you, but I am not an experienced Oracle person. I run SQL reports from an Oracle database every night for work. Now my bosses have put a large LCD monitor on the production floor and want the data from the Oracle DB to be shown on the monitor. They would like it presented in easy to read graphs or something that can be understood by a non technical person. The data must update around every 15 minutes. As I said, I have the SQL scripts already and I am wondering if there is an application I can use to do this sort of thing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is one of the shorter SQL scripts and a few lines of the results from that script:
    SELECT distinct Unit_status.serial_number, to_char(Unit_status.modified_date, 'DD/MON/YY'), Unit_status.model
    FROM
    unit_status
    WHERE Unit_status.process = 'FQA'
    AND Unit_status.pass_fail_indicator = 'P'
    and unit_status.modified_date between
    to_date('17-FEB-08 00:00','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI') and to_date('23-FEB-08 23:59','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI')

  • Bootcamp Woes...Should be easy for you pros

    Alright I'm gonna break this down as simple as possible
    1)  I had two partitions one large mac partition and one 80GB windows 7 partition.  I tried to shrink my mac side and it created and empty space pushing the windows partition from number 4 partition to number 5.
    2)  I found a discussion on here using gdisc and I guess it moved 5 to 1 or made it look that way and did something to the MBR.  I followed someones example.  This brought my windows partition back but made my mac side disappear...and I know its still in there lurking.
    3)  Ive tried several utilities and tools.  Some found the files but I need to actually boot the mac side to make a recovery ( I want my applications and everything)  If I could just boot it one more time to make a recovery image then I could wipe my whole computer and start over.
    4)  The closest I got to finding the best information but I still didnt want to fix it was disk-boot-repair by sourceforge.  Keep in mind that I can ONLY access windows at the moment.  So don't even mention a mac side related solution....believe me I wish it was this simple.
    Below are the images (excuse my crappy pictures) from the disk-boot-repair  you can see that it sees the mac osx and something just isnt lined up right.  The disk-boot-repair won't fix it because it found an EMI.  Which I think is a good thing because I need that right?
    Forgive me for sounding like a newb through all this but I got myself into this mess and I plan on fixing it and I'm learning along the way.  Any help and I would be forever grateful.
    Robbie

    I appreciate your effort but I'm not even sure you read my post.  I know now thats what I should have done and I messed up.
    Now I'm trying to fix it.  My mac files still exist somewhere on my hard drive.  I just cant get it to boot because when I used gdisk it changed my partition numbers, MBR, etc.
    I just need my mac to boot one more time to make a backup or figure out how to access the files enough to make a backup that I can restore.  Then I will wipe hard drive, re-install.  Use bootcamp assit.  Restore windows and restore mac files.
    I have too many important files to let this slide.  This is why I'm going to all this effort.  Using all these tools to try and get it to boot one more time.  Should I have made a backup when I could still get the mac side to boot yes.  But I know its all still there somewhere just not pointed in the right place when I try to boot.
    Thanks

    If the table exists in your own schema then:

    If table is owned by some other user then:

  • A simple script for you, a giant script for me-

    I like scripts very much but scripting does not seems to like me! Can anyone help me and write a script for me? What I need is this:
    1. Ungroup everything in a spread
    2. A loop that goes through every text frame in the spread and, at the end of the text contained in each of those frames inserts a blank paragraph. (The frames contains text and inline graphics)
    This may seems strange but is what I need.
    Best regards and thank you in advance

    1. Ungroup everything in a spread 
    This one's easy -- unless you're worried about groups inside groups?
    app.activeWindow.activeSpread.groups.everyItem().ungroup()
    If it's groups all-the-way-down, on the other hand, well, it might be more than one line...

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

  • How can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT - it's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)

    how can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT?
    It's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)
    It is simply too painful to have to zip everything up into a single file to send. MHT format has been available for years now from IE, and with every new FF release it's the first thing I look for. I have been using FF for years, and hate having to come out of it, over into IE |(which I even took out of startup) and key everything in again, in order to send somebody something in a convenient format that they can open with a single click.
    I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, so have you looked at it and rejected it? Have MS kept the file format secret?
    Thanks
    MG

    This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
    I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
    Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
    There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
    You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
    As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
    Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

    I dont understand anything you said in your post.
    Do you have a specific question about video production?
    The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
    Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

    Some of the apps shown in adverts / videos have been downloaded from the App Store, they don't come pre-installed e.g. the Facebook app is a free download the app store : 'official' Facebook app.
    To upload photos to Facebook you can use the above app - you can't, for example, use Safari on the iPad to upload content to sites.
    Not sure whether any apps allow you to upload videos to YouTube (I don't use the site).

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • Say good-bye to pirated computer games. Reasons for you to buy generic games!

    Found this article!
    It is totally true. So many benefits of generic games!!
    Please check its source here for more picture reference:
    http://happylifegreen.blogspot.tw/2015/01/say-good-bye-to-pirated-computer-games.html
    IT IS CHEAPER
    One of major reasons for most people installing pirated games is because they want to save money. However, they are wrong! If they play it wisely, purchasing generic games can be much cheaper!
    Thanks to this digital era; nowadays you can buy and download almost all games from internet. There are several major gaming platforms. Biggest ones are Steam, Uplay, and Origin.
    Steam is the biggest digital platform which houses thousands of games in more than 237 countries and in 21 different languages. Uplay started with Ubisoft games like Assassin’s Creed series and now expands to a much wider range of games. Origin, on the other hand, is (currently) purely for EA games.
    You can literally find so many game discounts EVERYDAY on these game platforms. Moreover, every now and then, they have big sales as well. For example, last month Steam had its holiday big sales which had more than 5554 games on sale!
    It is common to see many, many 90% off, 75% off, 60% off… You need to be very self-constrained before you put too many games in your Shopping Cart! Haha!
    Another good thing is that games in digital format do drop in prices.
    In Steam, it is common that after a couple of months of its launch, a game will start to have discount, and then it will drop in prices. For example, when Thief was first launched in 2014, the price was US$59.99. But if you check it on Steam, its price now already dropped to US$29.99.
    If you go to a retail shop and want to buy a box version of this game, the price will probably still be close to US$59.99.
    On the other hand, if you buy pirated games. It could cost more.
    Pirated games usually charges by number of DVDs, and one DVD costs around US$3.
    Because of nice visual graphic, it is common to see games exceed 15GB—which will requires roughly 3 DVDs or more. One DVD cost $3; in another word, you need to pay $9 for one game.
    Some games, for example, The Evil Within, requires more than 38.6GB of disk space. It will need, I’m not sure, maybe more than 8 DVDs? Which means US$24??
    What I usually do is to add games in Wish List. When the game is on sales, Steam will send me email, and I will be able to track if I am satisfied with the discount percentage or not. Easy!
    IT IS SAFE WITH NO VIRUS
    This is easy. No one will argue that almost all, if not all, pirated games (or software) have malware hidden inside! There is no free meal. If you want to save money, you need to trade in something else.
    I am not sure how those virus will do to me, but I don’t want it secretly downloading some funny stuff from internet, and definitely I don’t want my credit card or other personal info be stolen!
    YOU CAN CLOUD-SYNC GAME PROGRESS
    Many games support cloud sync, meaning that you can go to any computer and start a game from where it left.
    It is quite convenient. I have two laptops for home and office. When I go to a business trip, I can still continue my games from my work laptop.
    In Steam, if you see a small cloud icon in front of games, it mean that the game supports cloud sync. The function works quite well!
    ENJOY TEAM WORK AND DLC
    If you play pirated Battlefield 4 or Titanfall (and many others), say good-bye to team mode~
    Quite a number of games—especially EA games— require you to connect to game server via internet in order to play in multiplayer mode.
    If you want to play with friends or want to challenge other games, buy generic games!
    Many games have DLC packs which allow you to equip with different weapons, outfit, or special items. Sometime, pre-purchased games give you these for free.
    Well, no such benefits in pirated versions.
    EASY INSTALL AND UPDATE
    How to install a game? You just need to click a “DOWNLOAD” button and then worry free. After installed, the game will update automatically; so you will always have the latest version of the game.
    HAVE A SENSE OF FULFILLMENT
    Currently I have more than 140 games in Steam and many others in Uplay and Origin. I have quite a sense of fulfillment to see all those game icons in one place.
    GAMES WILL NEVER LOST
    Years ago when there is no those digital platforms, you need to keep your game DVDs (or VCDs) well. Once lost, then bye-bye to the game. The same applies to pirated games that cannot comply with game platform.
    If you own generic games, you will never lose them! You can change as many computers as you like; you can un-install games; you can buy-it-and-forget-it; you can keep games for generation for your grand-children. Those games will always be there waiting for you.
    Once you want to put your hands on the games again, you just need to click “DOWNLOAD” button, and the game will alive once again!

    So long, and thanks for contributing, in your way.
