Editing resources for custom filename when importing

For a long time, I've wanted to be able to tell iTunes to save a song with a filename in a certain format: "artist - title.mp3" I know the user Roadrider in these forums has asked the same question, but his was not adequately answered.
I've explored the the en.lproj and have found a couple sections that seem to have to do with importing songs, and how the filename should be formatted. One line indicates that a filename should be Artist/Album/song.mp3. A directory named for the artist, a subdirectory named for the album, and the song filename. Of course that sort of format could get pretty weighty after importing a 100gig library, so it'd be nice to have iTunes work at least as well as MusicMatch Jukebox v7.5.
Can that line, which looks like a mail merge type of form, be changed from "^1/^2/^3" to "^1 - ^3"?
This will make sense if you read through the en.lproj first, so please no flames asking what the **** I'm talking about.

Why don't you try? I'm very interested in this topic beaucause I'd like itunes to keep my library organized this way :
Music/genre/artist - album/track# - Track name.mp3
But even if I can make itunes organize this way :
Music/artist - album/Track name.mp3
.. I will be happy!
I suspect it can be in the en.lproj too, and maybe it's shared with the importing stuff.
Anyone tryed?

  • ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

    I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
    Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
    On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
    Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
    Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
    Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
    Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
    Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
    Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
    Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
    File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
    First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
    The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
    Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
    Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
    ... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

    iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

  • Replace Default "New" / "Edit" Forms for Custom List

    Having created a web page that is just simple HTML with JScript to bring it "to life" in SharePoint designer, how can I cause SharePoint 2010 to present this page for the "New" action? Or for the "Edit" action?
    This page is not associated with the Master Page/Content paradigm.  It is at WebSite/Lists/TheTargetList/TheTargetForm.aspx
    When I show the list properties tab for this list in Designer, and go to the "Forms" section (subtitled "Forms are used to display and edit data contained within this list"), and click the "New..." button at the right of
    that section's title bar and fill in the Title with the title of my file, I cannot add the file.  (The bread crumbs at the top say "Site > Lists and Libraries > ListName > ")
    Alternately, I go to the bottom of the tab's page, and select the link "Item" under Content Types (the choices being "Item" and "Folder").
    Then the bread crumbs say "Site > Lists and Libraries > ListName > Content Types > Item >"
    In the "Forms" section, I try to put the fully qualified name of the page I have created (my ..aspx file) in the "New Form:" or "Edit Form:" areas, after having clicked the "<click to enter text>" links.
    This lets me save that change, but destroys the web site's ability to show anything when I try to go to New or Edit — essentially "File not found."  The same if I provide only the file name,
    not fully qualified.
    So, if I have "Site/Lists/List/XYZ.aspx," and if that file is like:
    <html>
    <head>
    <script> . . . </script>
    </head>
    <body> . . . <br /> . . . </body>
    </html>
    How can I get this file to be opened as the "New" or "Edit" form for the list?

    Hi  BrianWren ,
    According to your  description, my understanding is that you want to present a web page as the New Form page.
    For achieving your demand, you need to create custom form using Visual Studio instead of SharePoint Designer.
    Here is a good blog you can have a look:

  • Customizing filename when using an external editor - can only one filename be used by all editors?

    I have a number of external editors defined for my LR 3.3 Win7 application. Within my Preferences, when I customize how an editor, say, Photoshop CS5, handles a file, I can set the name of the edited file - e.g., {Filename}-ed.psd . However, if I change the edited filename for another external editor, say to {Filename}-SilverEfexPro.psd, that filename is used for all externally edited files. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
              Dilip

    A side note here; just because it _opens_ the file in your external editor with that name the first time, doesnt' mean that's the name it has
    to be saved as.  When you go to save it, select save as, instead of save.  I beleive I have used this technique before, and LR still "finds" the file. 
    Sometimes even when I don't *want* it to find the file!
    Cheers!

  • Restrict read/edit access for a Manager, when Manager Visibility is enabled

    Customer wants to restrict read/edit access for a Manager on his/her subordinates' owned record, if manager Visibility is enabled at the company level.
    For example: If SM1 is a manager of SR1 and SM1 owner profile says that he has Edit Access on his owned records then, he will get Edit Access
    on the records owned by his sales rep.
    Current requirement here is Manager should not be able to edit the records of his sales rep but should able to only View. And manager also
    need the Edit/Read access on the records which they owned.
    Is there a possible workaround ?

    I have devised this to our customer:
    First, create a custom text field named "Reports To" on the object, say, Accounts.
    Second, user JoinFieldValue to set a default value for the "Reports To" field: equal to the "Reports To" User field value for the current owner.
    Third, add a new value named "Manager Read-Only" to 'Account Type' picklist. make sure that this picklist value is active.
    Fourthly, add a new page layout marking all Account Fields as 'read-only' and name it "Account Read-Only layout".
    Fifthly, create a new Account Dynamic Layout and set "Account Read-Only layout"
    for Field Type = "Manager Read-Only".
    Sixthly, create a new workflow rule condition for Account object ( before modified record saved ). Use the workflow rule condition similar to UserValue('<Alias>') = [<ReportsTo>] and set the workflow action to update 'Account Type' picklist value to
    "Manager Read-Only".
    This is just an example. Customer needs to improvise on this.
    Any more suggestions please ?

  • Prompt for Customizing request when saving Sales Employee (VPE1)

    Hi,
    When we try to create Sales Personnel through SD Menu path (VPE1), on saving the system prompts for customizing  request. Since this transaction is a master data and we dont transport this data to our production system. Suggest me a way to avoid this transport request while creating Sales Personnel.
    We are currently using version 3.1i and upgrading to ECC6.0. In 3.1i we use transaction PAL1 to create Sales Personnel However it will not prompt for Customizing request
    Also checked the SAP Note Note 854390 - FAQ: Use of the sales representative in SD without HR
    Help me on how to turn off this customizing request. Basis and Security team could not able to turn this off.
    Regards,
    Pradeep Maddi

    hello, friend.
    you have 2 choices:
    1.  create a transport request, save the data but do not release it for transport.
    2.  when the dialog asks you for transport request, just close this.  the system will give you a message about links.  just ignore it.
    hope this helped.  reward if so.
    regards.

  • Resources for customizing SAP Universe objects with MDX

    Hello,
    Are there any recommended documents out there that provide a comprehensive resource regarding MDX syntax?  We are customizing objects in our SAP Universe using MDX, however the "customizing" chapter in the pdf..."Using SAP BW in Universe Designer" is not that thorough.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks.
    Kevin

    Ingo...here is an example from one of my team members....
    We are able to create simple calculated measures such as:
    <EXPRESSION>(@SELECT(path\ObjectA)) + (@SELECT(path\ObjectB))</EXPRESSION>
    <EXPRESSION>(@SELECT(path\ObjectA)) - (@SELECT(path\ObjectB))</EXPRESSION>
    <EXPRESSION>(@SELECT(path\ObjectA)) * (@SELECT(path\ObjectB))</EXPRESSION>
    <EXPRESSION>(@SELECT(path\ObjectA)) / (@SELECT(path\ObjectB))</EXPRESSION>
    No problem.  Anything more complex than that does not work, e.g.
    <EXPRESSION>Sum(YTD(), @SELECT(path\ObjectA))</EXPRESSION>
    or even
    <EXPRESSION>Sum(@SELECT(path\ObjectA))</EXPRESSION>
    gets me an error when I try to include it in a Webi report at query execution time. It gives me an error:
    A database error occurred.  The database error text is: the MDX query ... failed to execute with error Unknown error. (WIS 10901)
    Ideally, I would like to get something like <EXPRESSION>IFF(period = this period, amount, 0)</EXPRESSION> to work.  Without this kind of control, either the number of BEx queries, BO connections and universes that will be required will grow to an unmanageable number or Webi reports will become very complex with all kinds of formulas and will not be be suitable for any end user modification.  I think that resolving this is critical to having further success with BO implementations on top of EDW.
    I am not sure if there is some patch level in EDW that is required or if I should be including some kind of specific date or time characteristic in my queries for this to work.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Backup copy filenames when importing images

    When making a backup copy while importing images into Lightroom3 the backup copy is keeping its original camera raw file name instead of the new file name I am giving to the images I am importing. This just started happening--up until today the backup copies took the new file names. I suspect Operator Error (as usual) but I honestly do not recall having changed any settings or preferences and can't find a place to do so regarding this problem. What's up?

    But this problem just cropped up yesterday--I've been importing raw files as DNG's in LR3 for weeks with no issues. Is it possible this could be an intermittent thing?
    I can reproduce it all the time. I don't know whether there are any special circumstances that lead to it, but I cannot import a DNG into LR3.2 with a rename and have the 2nd copy carry the same base name as the renamed DNG.

  • EDITABLE GALLERY - for customer

    Hello There. Im a user of muse, I'm trying to allow my customer to make a simple gallery in muse allowing him to add folders and pictures to his website. Is it possible?

    It is true that In-Browser Editing does not allow for adding/removing images from slideshows and galleries. We are investigating how to make that possible for a future release, but do not have a timeframe for such a release right now.
    To get around this shortcoming, other users have chosen to duplicate some images in the slideshow with the intension of having clients replace the duplicated with new images.
    Example:
    Create a slideshow with images A, B, and C
    Add the same images again so the slideshow now has a total of six images: A, B, C, A, B, C
    With In-Browser Editing, replace one of the image A's. The other one will remain unchanged.

  • Firefox 3.6.9 on mac running 10.4.11 does not have option for custom headers when printing.

    I am trying to print web content for a college project, it requires custom headers and footers. Firefox 3.6.9 does not have a custom option in the header/footer lists. In the help pages for Firefox is shows this option. Is this missing only on the Mac version? Thanks for any info.

    See if this works.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit enter.
    Filter = '''print.print''' <br />
    There are 6 prefs for headers / footers. <br />
    '''print.print_header...''' center, left, & right <br />
    and <br/>
    '''print.print_footer...''' center, left, & right <br />
    You can add what you want in the '''''Value''''' column and then Restart Firefox to effect the change. <br />

  • ITunes asking for apple ID when importing tracks from Windows Media Player

    I have a friend who is a new radio DJ. I have convinced her that iTunes would be better to play her tracks from than WMP. What has happened is that iTunes has imported all of her tracks and albums from WMP but it is asking for her Apple ID for every track she tries to play.
    Most of these tracks were imported into WMP from CD so why is iTunes asking for the Apple ID? How do I resolve this for her?

    Are these songs MP3's or WMA files? What is the source of those songs? Did you rip from CDs into Windows Media Player? If you did then they shouldn't be protected files. iTunes will now have to convert them to an iTunes compatible file (MP3/AAC)
    I only use MP3.

  • RoboHelp freezing when importing large word docs

    What are your experiences with RoboHelp for HTML Help when
    importing large Word docs?
    Mine seems to stop responding and has to be restarted. Also,
    creating PDFs for large docs seems to be a problem.
    While I am here, could someone please answer these questions:
    1. Does RoboHelp support conditional inclusion/exclusion and
    replacement of text? Where you can use a condition to display one
    text OR another.
    2. Does Robo support Modular Help?
    3. What about automating output generation using batch files?
    Is this possible?
    4. Can PDF outputs be customized using templates?
    it looks like Robo offers partial solutions to each of the

  • Java.io.File give incorrect chinese filenam when using javaw.exe

    I am running Chinese Win2000 Pro (SP2) with jre1.3.1 installed. If I use javaw.exe to run my application, java.io.File does not give the correct filename for chinese filename when I use it to run through a directory, though all English filenames show correctly.
    When the same program is run by java.exe instead of javaw.exe, the program runs with no problem and all chinese name are obtained successfully from java.io.File. Does anyone know the reason behind this ?
    I need to use javaw.exe since I am invoking Java from VC++. I don't want a black command prompt window to pop up behind my java application. Please help.

    Hi,
    I am sorry for not replying to ur query. Infact I am facing my own problem and after reading your problem I thought you could help me out in it because you are already successful in invoking java from VC++.
    My problem is that I want to invoke java class from VC++ in such a way that I want to capture the stdout of java class that I invoke from VC++ and use it in VC++. Let me explain first thing first. I am not able to invoke java class from withing vc++. I have looked at JNI help on SUN site but it is giving me lots of compilation error when I include JNI.h in my VC++ program. If you could help me out in this problem, it would be great.
