Editing HTML file leaves temporary files lying about the place

G'day
CFB 2.0.1, installed as stand-alone on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.  Although this has been the case since CFB 1.0, and on various Windows installs.
Whenever I edit a HTML file (ie: with a .html extension), CFB creates  a temporary file in the same dir, eg: .tmp_charts.html.33659~ (the original file name is charts.html).  I've no problem with this - other than the fact it should not be necessary - but what I do have a problem with is that it does not tidy up after itself once it's done: the tmp files stay there.  This is a bit sloppy.
I'm sure (100% sure) I've raised with this with Adobe in the past, and raised a bug for it, but it's not on the bug tracker for some reason.
Can other CFB users test out what happens when they edit HTML files with CFB? Note: the tmp file does not show up in the navigator listing within CFB, but it is there in the file system if one looks with Windows Explorer.
I'm going to raise a bug again (done: 3328624), in the hope this can be fixed.  It's a minor thing, but I'm sick of accidentally committing rubbish to my source control because I forget CFB can't tidy up after itself.
Cheers.

Curious.
Still: they should just not be there in the first place.  They don't appear for any other file type that I am aware of.
Agreed!
Come to think of it, I had another issue with CFB leaving bits around a while back.  Ahhh, now I can't remember exactly what the issue was.  I remember it had to do with mapping a networked drive.  When I would map a particular drive letter, say 'W', then start CFB it would create an entire folder hierarchy on there seemingly from a different server.  I know this because we have two different CF environments here; some server are running CF under JRun and others are running CF under WebSphere.  I only noticed this issue because I had mapped one of our JRun servers and all of a sudden it had portions of the WebSphere directory structure on there.  I think it had to do with a workspace in CFB but can't remember for sure.  I fixed it a while back by removing the offending setting in CFB.  Man, wish I could remember exactly what it was...

  • HT4007 Where are the cache files or temporary files stored?

    I was rendering a slideshow of 253 pictures (approximately 4MB each) and I watched the available drive space on my MacBook Pro go from 23 GB available right down to zero.  The rendering did not finish and an error message came on the screen to let me know.  When I first clicked 'Export', I chose to save the finished slideshow to an external drive formatted for MacOS.  I also chose to save it as 1080p QuickTime .mov file.
    This is my first time using Aperture and am puzzled as to why it used up that much drive space in my MacBook Pro.  I thought that it was hanging on to some unfinished render files so I quit Aperture and restarted my MacBook Pro but now I only see that I regained about 2 GB out of my original 23GB.
    Is it correct for me to assume that there are cache files or temporary files still present somewhere?  If so, please tell me where so I can delete them and restore my available internal drive space on my MacBook Pro to 23 GB again.
    Why did it use up so much of my internal drive space when I actually told Aperture to save the finished slideshow file to an external drive?
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Aperture has two cache directories that uses regularly
    In your user library: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Aperture/
    At System Level: There are temporary file written to a hidden area, that you can open from the Terminal by referring the system varaiable $TMPDIR.
    Open a Terminal window and enter the following command:
             open $TMPDIR
    This will open a terminal Window showin this hidden cache. I found the partially rendered movies in a subfolder called something like "TemporaryItems"
    Why did it use up so much of my internal drive space when I actually told Aperture to save the finished slideshow file to an external drive?
    The final movie will be saved to the destination you named, but Aperture needs working space for partial renderings and as much RAM as it can get. The OS will swap other applications to a swapping area of the ystem drive to free RAM for Aperture.
    Another problem could be that the destination drive you want to write to temporarily went offline. Then aperture will write to $TMPDIR instead. Check the permissions on your external volume and the connection. Is it a Network volume? This is risky, of you need a stable connection for a long render time. In that case connect the external volume directly.

  • Organizer defect creates and leaves temporary files in the open directory.

    I'm using Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer and Adobe Bridge CS6 concurrently.  If I have Bridge open to the same folder as PSE Organizer and I do an "Add captions ..." operation to a group of files selected in the Organizer, then there is a very good chance that PSE Organizer will rename one or more files to OriginalFileName_edTMP-1.extension and leave the renamed file in the directory rather than completing the update and returning the file(s) to their original name.  In most cases my original files are Nikon .nef files with .xmp sidecar files, but I've also seen this happen with .psd files.  The .nef files are generally large, averaging 35 Mb per .nef image and the .psd files are usually over 100 Mb.  If PSE Organizer and Bridge are open to different folders then Organizer does not leave the renamed file.  Thus I would suggest that there may be a logical threading error in PSE Organizer where it does not consider that another application may be monitoring the folder and also opening the files, which is what Bridge does when it discovers that a file has changed (the addition of a caption changes the file contents.)  This was also a defect in PSE Organizer 10.

    I believe you missed the point.  And just for the record I have 40+ years of software engineering experience and do know something about data bases and application programming.  There is a defect in the Photoshop Elements Organizer and I suspect that one of the developers forgot to check a return code from an operation.  I also suspect that what happens is that the Organizer temporarily renames the file it wants to update, makes the update, and then intends or tries to rename it back to the original name.   But with Bridge running in the background and watching to see if there are any changes in the folder, Bridge sees the new file name and makes the file (or possibly the directory) temporarily unavailable to the Organizer as Bridge updates its information and the window display.  If the timing of the operations is just right, the Organizer can't access what it needs to and probably gets a failed return code from the rename operation.  If my supposition is correct, the code doesn't check this return code after the rename operation and just assumes that it took place.  The problem is clearly related to timing (race condition) and is more likely to occur on large files, such as 100+ MB Photoshop files.  Just for the record, I am not actually working with both Organizer and Bridge at the same time.  Bridge is running in the background.  I've learned to avoid the problem by pointing Bridge to a different folder when I do an update in Organizer.  I also realize that information that I might add in Bridge does not show up in the Organizer Catalog, but fortunately Bridge is smart enough to extract tags and titles that I've added with the Organizer once Organizer has written them to the files. The problem that I'm reporting is not an issue about what a user should or can do, it's about safe programming practices.  Adobe will decide if they want to fix it or not.

  • Is it possible to move itunes about the place?

    my itunes is currently not working, since i upgraded it and it never worked. also my laptop is pretty naf and isnt coping with it. my dad has a decent laptop and i could put it on that until i decide on a decent computer to buy.
    what i would like to know is, is it possible to move my itunes and all my songs onto my dads laptop and work it from there so i have decent tunes for going on holiday and then move it all again once i have a new computer??
    thank you

    basically my lappie is rubbish. i borrowed it off a pal and it had windows ME on it. so i upgraded to XP and have since discovered that it doesnt have enough memory for that. i am needing a new computer just dont have a clue where to start looking for a new one!!
    but my lap top and my ipod are currently no longer speaking. my laptop ignores the ipod is plugged in and then itunes brings up a message to update itunes and reload it. i dont want to loose my songs though!!

  • MSB5003: Failed to create a temporary file.

    All of a sudden we are getting this error on the build computer.  We have searched the forums and followed other resolutions (delete the Temp directory) but still it continues.
    The full error message:
    [Any CPU/Debug] C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.CSharp.targets(135,9): error MSB6003: The specified task executable "Csc.exe" could not be run.
    MSB5003: Failed to create a temporary file. Temporary files folder is full or its path is incorrect. The file exists.
    Any ideas what to try next?

    Not permissions.  Not TEMP path name. 
    After some research we ran Process Monitor during the build.  Turns out we used up all of the temporary file names... LOL! 
    Tmp file names in Vista, and maybe others, have the format tmp####.tmp, where #### is 0x0000 to 0xffff.   When we looked in the Temp directory we found over 65,000 TMP files.  We are guessing that CSC creates these files but does not remove them.  After so many thousands of builds, we ran out of names.  We thought they were gone when we ran Disk Cleanup, but MSBUILD uses the administrator account while we were cleaning from a user account.
    Might be nice if CSC deleted it's TMP files...
    There ya go, add that to your bag of tricks... :)

  • Convert MXF files to MOV files, NO LASTCLIP.TXT in FCP 5.1.4

    Hello everyone. I am new to the forums. I have a project I have been asked to edit where the files came off of a P2 Card from a Panasonic HVX2000. The problem is, they didn't copy the LASTCLIP.TXT files off of the P2 Card. So I just have the files themselves. Is there a way to convert the files to .MOV files? I do know about the Log & Transfer, but you need the LASTCLIP.TXT for that. Thanks!!

    #38-P2 - Missing LASTCLIP.txt file. How to rebuild.
    Shane's Stock Answer #38 - When you offloaded the P2 cards, you forgot to get the LASTCLIP.tct file? No worries, not all is lost.
    MISSING LASTCLIP.TXT FILE:
    http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=58755
    If you neglected to copy the "lastclip.txt" file all is not lost. Much like the six million dollar man, we can rebuild him.
    Lastclip.txt can be generated by any text editor. If you are using a mac then open up textedit.
    Create a new txt file. It will have 3 lines to it.
    The first line is the name of the last clip that was recorded.
    Back to the finder. Open up your CONTENTS folder. In there, open up your VIDEO folder. Organize the folder by Date Last Modified. Find the name of the last file in this folder. If you have 16 clips in the folder is will be 0016ag.mxf or something like that. Four numbers and two letters followed by .mxf.
    Take this name and place in the first line of your text file. On the next line of the text file type in "1.0" (don't include the quotes).
    The third line is the number of clips in the folder +1. If you have 16 clips then the third line should read "17" (again no quotes).
    I'm not 100% sure if the number on the third line is the number of clips left in the folder (after any on-set deletions) or if it is the total number of clips generated during this session with the card. Try both. Remember to add 1 to that number.
    Your txt file should like something like this:
    0016ab.mxf
    1.0
    17
    That's it. You should be good to go. Put your CONTENTS folders in separate folders with separate LASTCLIP.txt folders and import them as separate P2 cards.
    The annoying thing is that all of the various .mxf files in these 6 folders are locked items and they must all be unlocked manually to erase them.
    It's much easier to import direct into FCP 5.0.4 or higher. It does so without leaving all of these locked files on your computer.

  • Cannot create a file when that file already exists, but should overwrite

    Hi,
    I need the same file name which is at Sender side and when it reaches to Receiver directory without timestamp.
    for eg., Sender side : Yeswanth.txt
    and also receiver side   :  Yeswanth.txt
    but, here it should overwrite the existing file (because, the sender side file name is always constant) at receiver directory when the job schedules for each time.
    Processing parameters i has given on Receiver side:
    File Construction Mode  :  Create
    put file  : Use Temporary File
    and I enabled the Adapter Specific Message Attributes at Sender side and Receiver side.
    Error getting receiver side at communication channel :
    Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException:
    Yeswanth.txt: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. : com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550
    Yeswanth.txt: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

    Hi Yeswanth
    Then you can try with a "Add Counter". This will create new file each time with the same name but a counter will be added to the file name at the end specifying the number of times it is created.
    You can also the specify the format to create the counter once select this option u can correspondingly fill the Format and step fields.
    Will this be fine.

  • .pk and .pkf files (aka peak files) - What are they?

    Peak files - ones with .pk and .pkf extensions - are files that Audition creates upon first opening an audio file, and they contain information about the way it's displayed on the screen. After you've worked on a file, saving the peak data as well as the file means that the next time Audition opens it, it can do so a lot faster - simply because it doesn't have to create all that visual data again.
    By default, Audition saves peak files automatically for wav files, but it can't create them for other types. The reason for this is that it doesn't need them for those file types, as they can't be opened natively in Audition anyway; they have to be decoded into wav files first.
    The difference between older .pk files and newer .pkf files (the ones that Audition CS5.5 uses) is that the .pkf ones contain Floating Point data. This means that unlike .pk files, they can display information about files where the signal exceeds 0dB. This means that if you do a mixdown where the levels are rather hot, you can display the levels correctly in Edit View by zooming the vertical display out. If you replay the file at this level though, it will distort, so you still have to normalize your resulting file so that the peaks don't exceed 0dB before making, say, a CD from it, a 16-bit integer copy, or any sort of compressed file.
    Because of this fundamental difference though, .pk files and .pkf files aren't interchangable. So a .pkf file created with Audition CS5.5 won't work with any previous version. What will happen if you open one of these files in, say Audition 3 is that a new .pk file will be created, and stored alongside the .pkf one. And similarly, a .pk file from a previous version will be ignored if an older file is opened in Audition CS5.5 - it will create a new .pkf file for it.
    Both .pk and .pkf files are normally hidden file types, so you won't see them in your files folder unless you've set it to display hidden files. It doesn't matter in the slightest if one gets deleted accidentally - which ever version of Audition you are using will recreate the appropriate one automatically. The only difference you will notice is that it takes longer to open the file. Not much of a problem with a very short one, but if your file is an hour long, the difference is significant.

    In the light of a few recent posts about this, I should also add that you shouldn't try to open .pk or .pkf files on their own. By default, the file extensions aren't associated with Audition as far as the OS is concerned - they don't need to be, because Audition will look for the peak file associated with a wav file when it opens it, and the OS doesn't get involved in the organisation of this. And, on top of that, Audition doesn't regard the mere existence of a .pk or .pkf file as an excuse for opening. Why should it? It knows  that there's no audio in it!
    So basically - You Can't Open .pk or .pkf Files.

  • File Error: A file of this name already exists

    im using Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 and whenever I tried to export a sequence using compressor, I get that error message "File Error: A file of this name already exists". I tried reinstalling the program, nothing. What can I do to fix that?

    Sounds like you already have a file by that name located in the place you want to export to. Try changing the name of your new file.

  • How can I edit HTML code that was previously inserted?

    Inserting HTML code is easy enough - Object -> Insert HTML...
    But editing the code does not seem possible. It seems that it's necessary to delete the HTML object and reinsert it to make a change. What am I missing?

    Right click. I'm on my phone, but an option like "Edit HTML..." should be among the choices when an HTML embed object is selected.

  • Unable to edit html file

    Hi,
    I downloaded an html file from our server to edit the logo. However, I am unable to edit the logo part. It's like commented out. And once I opened the file on Dreamweaver CS5, I am getting this pop-up message:
    "This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again."
    I can't edit the html file and change the logo. Please help.
    Thank you and God bless!
    Dannie

    Dannie,
    Are you familiar with dreamweaver templates and editable regions? If the logo is in the template, then you need to modify the template file. The changes you make to the template will automatically be propogated to all of the files which use the template.  If your html file uses a template, the html code will look like its commented out.
    Also, you should not have to download the html fiile from your server because you should always keep a copy of all the html files on your computer.
    I don't know about the SWF error.
    Good luck.

  • Can't edit .html file in dreamweaver?

    Why can't I edit .html file in Dreamweaver CS 5.5 when it is not attached to a template?
    I have always been able to edit it every other time I have opened the file (since I built the site over two years ago).
    Now each time I try to edit it in Design mode, no matter where I click in the file the whole page gets a dark grey overlay and I can't get a curser.
    I am still able to edit the code directly but I do not want to be restricted.
    The last thing I did the last time I opened the file was paste Google Analytics code in just before the </head> tag. I did this to all the files on the site but this is the only one that isn't working. I have tried taking out this code but it makes no difference.
    I am using a 6 month old Macbook pro.
    Can anyone help me?

    In your stylesheet you have -
    .container {    overflow:hidden; width: 100%;}
    .container2 {   overflow:hidden; width: 646px; margin:0 0 10px 0}
    Try right clicking on the page in Design view and then selecting Element view > Full and see if that helps.
