Empty Folders in BT Cloud

Advise please
I have some empty folders in the cloud, can't work out how to delete them, tried normal delete process but does not seem to work.
Any ideas?

Have you tried deleting the folders from the web application? As Johnoo says, there is an interface on the web application to allow deletion, but if you use it the folder is not actually deleted.
Also as he suggests, I think it would be excellent for BT Cloud to publish a list of issues and progress towards solution. I am afraid I think it is very unlikely to happen, though.
StephanieG seems to be handling the interface from the forum to the BT Cloud people. She usually answers PMs very quickly, but hasn't the last day or so. Maybe she's taken an Easter holiday?

Daten verschwunden - folders in the cloud are empty

Since the last update my folders in the cloud are empty. My dates are no longer displayed. What should I do? - Seit dem letzten Update sind meine Ordner in der Cloud leer. Meine Daten werden nicht mehr angezeigt. Woran liegt das?

No, use Dropbox or Sugarsync instead.

How can I import bookmark HTML records directly into pre-defined (but empty) Folders?

Firefox is my default browser. I am in the process of replacing an old computer with a new one. I've converted into HTML files the Bookmark content of all of the Folders appearing within the Bookmarks section of Firefox on my old computer. I then uploaded this into the cloud, and downloaded it to my new computer. I've loaded Firefox afresh on the new computer. Now . . .
Ideally, I would like to be able to import these saved/HTML bookmarks (now on my new computer) directly into the new Firefox, keeping the Folder structure maintained in saving them from the old computer; less ideally, but still acceptable, would be to simply re-create as empty Folders each Folder from the old computer's Firefox setup and then do a 'Select All' copy/paste from each of these Folders as saved in my downloaded HTML bookmarks into these initially empty Folders created in the new computer's Firefox Bookmarks section. Is either of these currently possible? In short, this is a quite distinct scenario from importing bookmarks from other browsers on the same computer.
I have tried, but it seems that neither of these functions is currently viable. As common as replacing one computer with another is, I find this a pretty significant oversight which will require a very time consuming conversion process if such functions are not currently available; i.e., I'll have to open each saved HTML Folder and manually activate each individual html bookmark, go to that website, and individually re-bookmark each of these one by one within the Bookmarks section of Firefox on my new computer as if I were bookmarking this site for the very first time. With hundreds and hundreds of bookmarks segregated into about 30 Folders, I think you can see what a productivity drain this will be.
While there appear to be some quite interesting and potentially useful FireFox Addons - e.g., Categorize - none of these seems to address/resolve this problem. Can you advise? Thank you.

To start out with, Firefox hasn't used the HTML format for storing bookmarks for a few years now; you can still import and export bookmarks in HTML format, as you can with just about any other browser out there as an interchange format. Firefox 3.0+ versions use an SQLite database for storing bookmarks and browsing history in the place.sqlite file. Firefox 3.0+ versions do automatic backups of your bookmarks in the JSON format; that file includes "Tags" data but not the web site Favicon data. Restoring a backup from an old PC to the new PC is how Mozilla handles replacing an old computer - or you can "backup" the entire old Profile and transfer that data to the new PC manually. A user could also use Firefox Sync to "sync" their personal data onto the new PC. IMO, you're over-thinking this using dated information (talking about HTML files) without knowing about what options you currently have with Firefox and Mozilla.
Is that a genuine Netscape-1 bookmarks.html file? ''Look at the first line of code in that HTML file to see.'' <br />
Or is it a standard HTML file?
If you have a genuine bookmarks.html file, you can '''Import''' that file thru Organize Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Import HTML... > From an HTML file.
Doing it that way you will be appending the bookmarks & folders that are in the '''Bookmarks Menu''' folder right now. The ordering of the folders and bookmarks in the "imported" file is identical, the "imported" data is added below the existing data. That said, the '''''Bookmarks Toolbar''''' folder and the '''''Unsorted Bookmarks''''' folder from the "imported" data will be in the Bookmarks Menu folder at the bottom; you'll have to move the bookmarks that are in that folder to their respective folders, above and below the Bookmarks Menu folder.

Can't delete empty folders from NAS

Hi all
I have Mac Book Pro running Mavericks, and a WD World Book running as a NAS on my private network.
Recently, I've been restructuring my files and folders on both my mac and hard drive.
Having moved a large number of files across from the HD to my Mac, I now have a load of empty folders on my HD that I cannot seem to get rid of!
I have tried all the usual things, and also the rm -r command but to no avail. It says that the folder does not exist!
One other strange thing that is happening on the HD, when I 'Get Info', the top username in permissions is just saying 'fetching' and never resolves.
Does anyone have any suggestions??
Let me know if you need more info
Thanks in advance

Yes, it one of the problems you can encounter using Launchpad at the moment. You can try to drag another app in the folder and empty the folder again. Sometimes that folder disappears, sometimes not.
There's a way to rebuild Launchpad but I won't not recommend that. It will bring Launchpad back in the default-setting, so you would have to start rearranging all over again, at the risk of having the same problems all over again.
So, just wait until the first update of Yosemite comes out. That might solve your problem. If the empty folders bother you, you could try to drag them to a new last page, so they are out of sight for now.

How do I remove expand / collapse icon for JTree empty folders

Hi
I am using a JTree as a file system browser. I use DefaultMutableTreeNode nodes.
I have a problem with empty folders.
Empty folders show the expand / collapse icon, leading the user to believe there are sub-directories. When the user double-clicks the folder, the expand / collapse icon goes away. This is a "haha-gotcha" glitch that I really don't want my users to have to continually deal with.
So, how might I get my JTree to not show the expand / collapse icon for empty folders?
Thanks
Wayne

Maybe I can use the FileSystemView isTraversable(File f) method in my TreeCellRenderer class to check if anything is in the directory.
But I still need to know how to disable the expand / collapse icon for such a node.

How do I search for and remove empty folders?

I would love any help. I've spent about 6 hours yesterday looking for a solution for this project...
PROBLEM:
I'm trying to organize a 6GB file library of sheet music documents.
After using Gemini to find and delete duplicate files, I'm left with hundreds of empty folders and files spread across the folders in odd locations.
How do I find and delete all the empty folders?
My hope is to remove all the empty folders and then manually reorganize the files.
This will probably take quite a few hours.
Here is an example of the mess. The folders currently look something like this:
Music Library 1 > Kids Songs > Easy > Empty Folder
Music Library 2 > Kids Songs > Easy > "Ode To Joy.mus" and other files are here
Music Library 3 > Kids Songs > Intermediate > Intermediate songs files are here
A better / larger question might be - What is the best way to organize this mess?
Is there a good file manager for organizing these documents? We run a music school and are trying to set it up for multiple teachers to organize their files and sort by a few different tags like: Difficulty, Genre, Teacher Name, Composer name etc.
Thank you so much for any help!

I'm afraid the ability to find empty folders is a wee bit complicated, and quite simply is completely broken in Mavericks. Just because a folder appears to be empty, doesn't mean that it is--if it was ever opened it will have an invisible .DS-Store file inside. For instance, in Snow Leopard if I do a search on the Desktop folder for Kind is Folder, plus Number of Items is less than two, I get two folders, both are empty but one I just created and never opened, and the other I created some time ago and later tossed the contents, which means that it has a .DS-Store file. Both show "No Items" in Icon view. If I modify the Number of Items to "equals 0" only the newly created and unopened folder "empty" shows up. If I try the same thing in Mavericks I get no sensible results at all in any set of search parameters.
The moderator at Houdah Software reports: "Spotlight on Mavericks reports a value of 1 for "Number of Items" (kMDItemFSNodeCount) for all folders." He says he has reported it as a bug. Evidently it is not yet fixed.

Folders and duplicates everywhere; empty folders... a mess in the Library

I am tired of iPhoto's difficulty to use as soon as you modify pix and try to move pix from a computer to another.
It creates tones of duplicates files, empty folders and doesn't even recognize px it already imported.
I have the same pix floating everywhere.
THen i tried to delete some folders and files and some pix are now 'offline'.
Any trik other than don't mess with iPhoto, don't modify your pix and don't move them from one computer to the other one.
Help!

iPhoto is a database. Think of it this way. When you use iPhoto it's like hiring a filing clerk and giving them your shoe box full of photos. "Take these and sort them out so that when I ask for one, you can give it to me, and fast." So the Clerk sets up his filing structure, then goes home for the evening and you go into the filing cabinets and move things around. Next morning, it is any wonder that the Clerk can't find things?
So here's tip one: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
You do everything you need to do via the iPhoto Window - and the good news is that everything you need to do can be done from there. So, ignore the iPhoto Library Folder. There are no user serviceable parts in there.
Want to access a file: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.
Want to use a photo editor? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor)as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically.
FYI: This might explain how the iPhoto Library Folder is laid out: A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.

Deleting Empty Folders from Library

When I first got Lightroom I uploaded a random bunch of folders of images. Now I wish to upload everything (which I have put into a single folder) so that I can retain the hierarchy of folders within folders that I have developed for storing my work on a dedicated hard drive.
I therefore selected all of these random folders of images and removed them from the Library (it took 45 minutes). But now I find that while all of the image files have been removed, all of the empty folders that contained them are left in the "Folders" folder in the library.
My question is, how can I remove all of these empty folders prior to uploading my hierarchical folders of files? In other words, how can I start over again from scratch? (I have upgraded to Lightroom 1.1)
Thank you.

Thank you all for your suggestions. What I finally did was to right-click, as suggested by Mel, on each folder (it wouldn't work for me when I selected them all) and select "delete" from the resulting drop-down menu. It took awhile, as there were a lot of the buggers, but now I'm clean and ready to go!
Again, thanks.

How can we add empty folders in installers?

Hi All,
I need some help with with LV installers. I have built an built an installer for an application that I am using. But along with the application I would like to create an empty folder as well. I am creating this folder in the "Destinations" option in the installer properties, but when I build and install the application, that particular folder is not there. Am I missing something here?
Also, I am new to this forum and not sure if this has been posted earlier. I apologize if it has been posted earlier.
Thank you!
Sparsh

You can configure your installer to run an executable after installation.
Create a small batch file or EXE that creates the empty folders.

Creating Empty Folders in Build Specification

I'm trying to create a build specification that creates sub folders with data required by the application. This works out ok, but I also want to create empty folders the the app will use for data output. I can't get the build to createa folder unless there is a file in it. Is there a way to do this?
TIA,
Bill F

Bill,
I have tried the installation and it will not create a folder unless there is something in it. Here we have two options.
You can create a dummy file and place it in the "empty" directory. This will make it non-empty and force its creation
You can create the directory in LabVIEW. This can be accomplished by following this KnowledgeBase article:

Imported iMovie HD Projects are now empty folders!

I imported 3 of my old projects, edited some things, now I launch the app and my 3 projects are now empty folders! What happened!?

Ok, I just figured it out. My Imported projects had periods in their names. Went to ~/Movies/iMovie Projects/, and they were folder, not projecte files. So I ditched the periods and added ".rcproject"... restarted iMovie and they came back fine. Hope that helps someone....

Hey there, jwessels! Unfortunately, I haven't found any information on the Sony eSupport website for this Model Sony Headphones, so I looked on Amazon, and it seems that the container is a Padded Carrying Case. And as for the bag, it's an Accessory Pouch. That's all the information I was able to find for you regarding your question, so I hope this information has helped you! Best regards,

Remove Empty Folders by name

Hi guys!
i must remove all empty folders in my PC.
Each folder can be removed only if folder start-name is not 0 or 1 or scan.
Examples:
C:\Scan --> keep
C:\Scan\Try -->delete try and subfolders, keep scan
C:\Scan\0-Try --> keep all
C:\Try -->delete all
C:\Try\1-This\2-That -->delete only 2-that
i made this code:
function Move-EmptyDir{
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string]$Source,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string]$Destination,

Foreach($Item in $ExistFolders.Group){
$MeltinCount= $Item.GetFileSystemInfos().count #se 0 non ha elementi
$SimCount= (($ExistFolders.Group | Group-Object -Property Parent) | Where-Object{$_.Name -eq $Item.Name}).Count #0=no subfolders
if($MeltinCount -eq $SimCount){
$EmptyFolders+= $Item
$Moved= @()
$Moving= $EmptyFolders.Length -1
While($Moving -ne -1){
$OneFolder= $EmptyFolders[$Moving]
if($OneFolder.GetFileSystemInfos().count -gt 0){

with powershell v4 can you do somthing better?
Thanks
A

As far as reducing the amount of code start with this:
#return all folders that match name rules
dir c:\temp\* -exclude 1*,0*,scan* -directory
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
$Folders=Get-ChildItemD:\-Recurse-Directory-Exclude0*,1*,2*,8*,9*,scan*-ErrorActionSilentlyContinue
$EmptyFolders
=$Folders|Where-Object{$_.GetFileSystemInfos().Count
-eq0}
-ErrorActionSilentlyContinue
$EmptyFoldersFullname
=$EmptyFolders|Group-Object-PropertyFullname
Get-Report
$EmptyFoldersFullname.Group
"Empty"
DONE!

Creating New Folders In BT Cloud

Can someone tell me how I create new Folders in BT Cloud? I did do a search and there were a number of postings re creating
Folders for specific purposes, but none that answered my query, I could not find anything on the creation of Folders ' in general'.
clayto

Hi clayto,
Thanks for getting back to me, sorry I was not entirely sure what you were trying to do.
You can can create a folder by going to BT Cloud Sync, and clicking on Create Folder. (Or press the key combination Alt+CTRL+O on your keyboard in the BT CLOUD SYNC view).
The guide on how to do this is on this link Can I add whole folders to BT Cloud Sync using the web client?
Thanks
