Errror message: file already exists - overwrite or save as?

When I attempt to open the .cp file that I had previously
worked on today I now get the following series of messages:
1. C:\Documents and Settings/vsutherl/My Documents\My
Captivate Projects\game\game2.cp already exists.
Do you want to overwrite the file or save as a new file?
When I select "Overwrite" or a File Save As, I get the
following message in response:
Adobe Captivate could not open "game2.cp" because it is
either not a supported file type or because the file has been
damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't
correctly decoded).
This began happening after I attempted to click the game2.exe
file to review the project in its final (stand alone) form but
clicked the .cp file in error, which was already open.
Now all four of the projects (which were clones of each other
with simple text changes for each project) receive the same error
message. I can no longer open any of the source (.cp) files to make
additional changes. This represents *weeks* of work and I cannot
start from scratch to rebuild all four projects - again. I've
already had numerous problems with these projects (per prior posts
here).
Other projects (totally separate and apart from these 4) open
properly. However when game2.cpgot corrupted it caused all of the
other gameX.cp files to also receive the same error message;
resulting in not just one file being corrupted but all 4 even
though the problem that was originally encountered was when
attempting to (re-)open game3.cp (while already open).
How can this file corruption be overcome? I am using Windows
2000 and Captivate 3.
Help and thanks!
Vince

Another possibility, I think, is using the wrong version of
Captivate to
open the course. I see this error, or something similar, if I
attempt to
open a CP2 file in CP1. Do you have various versions of CP on
your
computer? Are you sure you're using the proper version to
open a given file?

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.
Reward points for useful answers.

Yeswanth.

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.

SharePoint Library - If I save file from Excel File Save As - then I always get "File already exists. Do you want to replace it?" - Upload works fine though.

Hi there,
In my SP 2010 document library - When I try to save an Excel file from File > Save As menu to the document library it always prompts me "File already exists. Do you want to replace it?" even though the file does not exist in that document library.
To the same document library - if I upload a file then it accepts it all fine.
Any clues why I cannot save files using File > Save As menu?
Thanks.

Hi,
As I understand, the notification pops up when you save an excel file to SharePoint library, while when directly upload file to library, there is no wrong.
Please confirm if the issue occurs to other machines.
Please open Microsoft Office Upload Center on the issue machine, then click settings, clear cache via checking Delete files from the Office Document Cache when they are closed.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/excel-help/office-document-cache-settings-HA010388664.aspx
If the issue occurs to client, I’d recommend you also ask the question in Excel forum:

File already exists in catalog error message

When trying to scan a photo into the PSE 8 Organizer, I get the message "The file already exists in the catalog". It indicates the file c:/users/user/AppData/Local/Temp/PSAlbumImport/2014-02-23-1315-04/Image1.jpg. This file contains the image that I scanned in but it won't import into the Organizer. I now have several scanned photos with this problem, all in different directories. How can I fix this?

My scanner software requires me to scan to photo software when scanning slides or negatives so the folder suggestion does not work.
I have found a work around . I now scan into the organizer of my PSE 5 program which then shows up in the browser as new files when I open PSE 9.
The PSE 5 program will scan all 4 slides without any problems. This didn't fix the problem in PSE 9 but I can get my scans done.
I just wish Adobe support would get off their *** and respond to problems. I emailed them a week ago and have not received any response.
Thanks for your response.

Import from scanner give error message "This file already exists in this catalogue"

I can import from the scanner occasionally, but often times get this error message. " this file already exists in this catalogue" and the scanned picture is discarded.
I see others have had it as well, but no solutions were posted. I'm running Photoshop elements 11 with all current updates.

Thanks for the reply. My Image wasn't in a version set however. I scanned a new photo which was successsful. I then scanned a second photo different from the first, which failed. I think possibly the software for my HP scanner is at fault, since it always names the scans as image1.jpg. It doesn't give an option to increment successive scans to a different name which probably caused the problem.

FTPEx: 550 : Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

Hi experts,
I am working on idoc to file scenario and PI 7.1. The idoc is split into 3 files.
In sxmb_moni , the message is successful , but in rwb( Message montoring) i am geeting the fllowing Error message.
' Delivering the message to the application using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '172.19.125.190:21'.

and this error message is not displayed for all the target files , some files are getting created succesfully.
After some times , the file in error status , gets created automatically.
What may be the reason.?
Thanks in advance .

There seem to be already some files in your Target Directory with the same name as your new files (which the CC is trying to place) and the CC is not able to overwrite the existing files and hence the error...check this.
Check: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/44/69d7cfa4b633eae10000000a1553f6/content.htm
14. Select the File Construction Mode.
u25CB Create
The file is created. The document received last is saved in each case.
If you want the created file to be overwritten, select Overwrite Existing File. If you do not set the indicator, processing is stopped until the created file is processed.
You can only set the indicator if you select Use Temporary File under Put File below.

How to check if the file already exists in the client directory

Hi all.
I'm on devsuite 10g. I'm using webutil to download files from DB using webutil function db_to_client.
What I need is to check if the file already exists in the client directory and if yes to display a message to ask the user if he wants to overwrite or no. How can I make this???
Here is the code that I'm using to download the file.
Thanks all for the collaboration.
Fabrizio
declare
file_path varchar2(2000) := null;
BEGIN
/** I ask where saving the file on the client machine **/
file_path:= webutil_file.file_selection_dialog
(directory_name => null,
file_name => :bin_docs.name,
file_filter => '',
title => 'Saving file',
dialog_type => save_file, --save_file
select_file => TRUE);
/** I download the file from DB to client **/
if webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_With_Progress
( file_path ,
'BIN_DOCS',
'DOC' ,
'doc_id = '||:bin_docs.doc_id,
'Downloading file',
' '||:bin_docs.name) then
msg_alert('Download del file avvenuto con successo','I',false);
else
msg_alert('Si è verificato il seguente errore in fase di download '||SQLERRM,'I',false);
end if;
end;

How about something like the below:
Note: I have a yes/no alert to asking if they want to over-write the existing file.
DECLARE
file_path VARCHAR2(2000) := null;
over_write BOOLEAN := TRUE;
BEGIN
/** I ask where saving the file on the client machine **/
file_path:= webutil_file.file_selection_dialog
(directory_name => null,
file_name => :bin_docs.name,
file_filter => '',
title => 'Saving file',
dialog_type => save_file, --save_file
select_file => TRUE);
IF webutil.file_exists(file_path) THEN
/** check a file by the same name exists in the selected directory **/
IF show_alert('Ask_overright') != alert_button1 THEN
/** If we say no then set over_write value to false **/
over_write := FALSE;
END IF;
END IF;
IF over_write THEN
/** I download the file from DB to client **/
IF webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_With_Progress
( file_path ,
'BIN_DOCS',
'DOC' ,
'doc_id = '||:bin_docs.doc_id,
'Downloading file',
' '||:bin_docs.name) then
msg_alert('Download del file avvenuto con successo','I',false);
ELSE
msg_alert('Si è verificato il seguente errore in fase di'
||' download '||SQLERRM,'I',false);
END IF
END IF;
END;

Q

"file already exists"

Hi there!
Photoshop CS4 gives me a strange error. When trying to save a psd file as a jpg (using "save as"), it doesn't change the extension when selecting jpg from the format drop down menu. This results in a message, saying that the original file already exists, or when I save it to a different location, I get a psd file with jpg algoritm. Anyone any idea?
I'm using XP SP3. Other programs do not have this issue. For instance, when working in Adobe Acrobat, and trying to save a pdf in the rtf format, it correctly changes the file extension, and saves the file as rtf.
Thanks in advance!

The problem must either lie with Photoshop, or a combination of Photoshop on my XP configuration.
Most probably, since I don't get that problem. Maybe try installing the 11.0.1 update (if you haven't yet). If that doesn't work, then try to figure out the extent of the issue. Try PS in a different Windows user account (create a new one), and turn off the unnecessary stuff that runs in the background on your computer. If you're not familiar with msconfig, then see this document for turning of background stuff:
http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb404984_en-us
Let us know if either of these change the situation, and hopefully we can help you out from there.
Also, have you installed any plug-ins for PS? Maybe one of these is interfering with Photoshop's jpeg plug-in somehow. Check out this document:

Problem when saving files (file already exists-)

Woking in CS5.1.
When I save a document (as opposed to "save as"):
I get a message "some of the specified files already exist in the target location. The files marked below will be replaced".
The file I am working on gets saved, but creates a second version "file name-01.ai"
Any ideas?

Works fine here CS5 on Windows.
When I save, it will warn me only if the file with the same name already exists and if I choose to replace it it will replace the existing file keeping the name I'm saving it with.

Weird CS4 error when saving eps files on a Mac: "...specified files already exist in the target location"

Hi There,
All 3 workstations in our studio are experiencing weird file behavior when re-saving eps files from Illustrator.
Basically Illustrator creates a new file in addition to the original and adds a "-01.eps" onto the file name. If you re-save your original, Illustrator brings up a dialogue box that states:
Some of the specified files already exist in the target location. The files marked below will be replaced:
filename.eps
filename-01.eps
We've been deleting the "-01.eps" files each time but it's becoming tedious. The behaviour occurs when re-saving an eps file to a server or the desktop.
All machines are new Quad-core MacPros running:
- Leopard 10.5.8
- Illustrator CS4 14.0.0
We've checked for Illustrator updates from within Illustrator but we seem to be running the latest version.
Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
Any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Thanks for the reply.
The error occurs when we save the document but if we choose save as, "Use Artboards" seems to be unchecked so not sure if this issue is related or not. Will re-save the document using save as then see if the issue persists.
Why do we still use eps?
Basically because we've found it to be much more compatible. Our entire logo library is in eps format (18 years worth) partly because it was previously the only format to use and partly because it allows account managers to send logos to clients, printers, TV stations etc and not involve the studio (saving out an eps version).
Although "Create PDF compatible file" is a good idea, we've encountered costly issues with colours and images - especially if the recipient is using old CS software, non-Adobe software or is using some kind of hardware RIP. We now just go with what we know works.
But I do find saving eps versions of everything to be a bit painful. In fact, I've always found Illustrator in general to be a bit painful when compared with Photoshop or AfterEffects. Illustrator seems like it's been developed by a different company some times!
Cheers, and thanks for the help.

Pop up saying File already exists when saving an excel file while running exe

I have an excel file which I read and write in my application.
When I run the application in development system, it works fine. However when I run the application as an exe and try to save the excel file, it says that 'The file already exists and Do you want to replace?'.
Why does this question asked for exe?
PFA my write excel VI
Thanks in advance.

Write to Excel.vi ‏25 KB

Hi Princess_swa,
The problem may be that when you build an exe, it adds another folder called 'builds' into the filepath.
A good way to fix this is to create a case structure, putting extra strip paths into your filepath if running an exe.
I have attached a screenshot of my code doing exactly this for you to look at. The code creates a 'base path' which is then used to reference all of my file paths in my code - and therefore, they will always have the right number of strip paths when it is run. (Note: in my code I have 2 extra strip paths, due to where I've placed the folder, but one should be sufficient.)
Also there is a 'Check if folder exists' VI which you can again link to a case structure, and change the filename if it already exists. Again, I have provided a screenshot of my code which does this.
Hope this helps,
Lou

Share: File already exists. It doesn't: Won't Replace

FCPX 10.0.9 OSX 10.7.5
Never had any trouble exporting before.
Share---- Export File----- (select location as the 1tb HD)- fcpx says file already exists, do you want to replace? Hit Replace, and it just cycles the same error, until cancelled.
Does this on every single fcpx project, even those that worked fine before.
Share--- E-mail ----- fcpx immediatley throws a quicktime -50 error.
Share ------ Export File (select loction as the desktop or any other folder) ---- fcpx give the quicktime -50 error.
I don't think I've changed anything.
All saving works fine on all other programs that I use.
I am trying to save to the internal drive in my macbook pro
disk utilty says the drive is fine.
You got me....?

I did that and got rid of some of the early frame errors. i was able to export a section of clips, but then it would never export past frame 7065 no matter what clip was holding that place (at least that is what I think). Even then it only worked with master file exports.
I was wrong about this. Don't use it if you are troubleshooting your problem with this thread.
What was happening is that there was a black frame at the end of the clips that were throwing errors. I had to check the errors on that frame. I don't konw if they are dead frames or simply black frames, but all of them had those bad frames in the original clips themselves (and as a result in the timeline if I had inserted the WHOLE clip, or at least any subclip including that last bad frame). The only position they were was at the end of the clip.
The solution was to find the offending frame in the timeline and then cut it out. IN my case there were 5 of them.
Note: that the title does not reflect the problem. That problem was that it didn't like where I was saving (not specificing a directory, not sure why it was allowing me to choose the destination as my HD, and gave a less than helpful error on that).

"file already exists in the destination" during application build

I am trying to build an executable and have gotten the following error:
The file already exists in the destination.
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\Sentech LV 82\Shared Library - Trigger SDK\StTrgApi.dll
WHen I start the build I go to "Build Executable" then click "Build"
The VI for the project I have open is the Startup VI and I do not list any Dynamic VIs or Support FIles.
I am using Labview 8.2
I installed a user library for a USB camera from Sentech wich I am using and it works fine in Labview 8.2
When I try to do the build I get the error shown above. The file it is referencing is there along with the .lvlib file.
I tried removing the file shown in the error message to see what would happen and I continue to get the same error even though the file is not there. I even restarted LV and still got the same error.
I am new to the application builder (v7 ?) and have not been able to find any good tutorials. Does anyone have any ideas on this error or a good place to learn more about app builder.
Thanks
Keith

Messages fail in PI with error "Message ID already exists in database"

Hi Guru's,
The scenario is from FILE->PI->MDM .
Few messages fail in PI with the error Message ID 415a6324-dd3d-11e3-94e0-00000613e84e already exists in database .
I have already seen the SAP NOTE : 1361305 , My doubt is if this error is any way related to MDM side issue or anything else.
Please help me out .
Attached the full trace in PI :

Hi Gowtham,
Can you check once whether message gets failed after it is automatically restarted.
Check traces for each defined pipeline.
I think, at first message got failed due to some reason (i forgot the reason for my case) and when it automatically restart it fails saying message id already exist. Check the root cause why it failed for the first time.
Also check with basis team on tablespace issue.
