Extensions and file handling in migration context

Hello,
background:
i just migrated one of our apple machines from ppc to intel hardware. So at the moment both machines are still available in the same state.
question:
how knows mac os x how it should handle a file by default ?
Or better the displayed Kind of a file.
Im wondering as i have a function (inside our erp) generating a file, but on the ppc-mac this file is shown as Kind A (like supposed) in the get-info dialog BUT on the intel-mac as Kind B (new for me).
thats kinda confusing for me as mac newbie.
any ideas ?
Best regards
fidel

already solved, the problem was not the extension itself.

  • Folders and Files Locked After Migrating

    I replaced my beloved iMac G5 with a new 27" Intel iMac. I migrated my files over to the new Mac using Migration Assistant. Now, all [or all that I've tried] of my Folders and Files are locked so I can't rename them or add new files to a folder without first Getting Info, then unlocking, typing in my PW and changing the Privileges to Read & Write for everyone. I'm the Administrator -- and the only account on the Mac. My account shows that I have both Read & Write Privileges, but that doesn't seem to be enough for the new Mac.
    Any suggestions? It's rather time consuming to have to reset the Privileges every time I try to save a file to a new Folder.
    Thanks.

    Thanks again. That was helpful. I wish the Genius at the Apple Store had bothered to explain that there would be two accounts.
    If I can trouble you a bit more. While I understand that I shouldn't merge the two accounts, there are now some files under the "new" account that I need to have in the "migrated" account. What's the best way to move them? I tried copying them on to an External HD, but when I tried to copy them in to the Merged account I get nothing but Error -36 [and everything stops b/c of .ds_store files. I've been looking at posts about .ds_store files and it seems that lots of people are having problems with them and that there doesn't seem to be an easy fix. So much for the Intuitive thinking of just copying files from one drive to another.] The External is Mac Journaled -- I reformatted it yesterday just to be sure.

  • Which is efficient? (DB Connection and File Handling)

    Hi,
    I need to download a file(CSV file of some 100-200 KB) on click of a button in JSP.
    The contents of the file is also displayed in the JSP (say page1.jsp)in formatted way so that user can print the details instead of download.
    1st approach:
    before coming to page1, connect to DB(Oracle DB, using JDBC Connection pooling) and get all the details required to display (which will be same as the contents of file). Store the details collection framework classes. Also create a CSV file and store it at some location. On click of Download button in JSP download the stored file (Here I am again going to servlet before downloading).
    2nd approach:
    before coming to page1.jsp, connect to DB and get the details required to display in the screen but don;t create any file. On click of download again connect to DB and get the details, create the file and download it.
    Please let me what are the merits and demerits of the above mentioned approaches.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Arun.K.

    Generally set operations are almost always faster, easier, not so much resource consumable. If you can do it straght SQL do it so. Use PL/SQL only when it is really necessary. Of course there are exceptions, but these are rare enough. And remember - you can and may always try yourself to do both ways and compare.

  • Set import and file-handling preferences

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WSA66356E1-47C3-405f-8E7F-0FD7AAEB0575.html

    I imported a catalog into Lightroom 4 from PS 10 and would like to delete the import and start over.  I want to re-work the PS 10 cat. before importing to Lightroom.

  • How do I specify folder and file options for memory cards in LR4?

    Hello!
    I have read the sections Set import and file-handling preferences and Specify Auto Import settings in the manual. But they don't seem to answer my question. The other stuff that's written about importing files in Lightroom seem to only cover the import of photos to the Lightroom catalog, which is not my primary concern, although I do want them imported to the catalog as well. But before the photos can go to the Lightroom catalog they need to be improted, in other words copied over from the memory card to the local disk drive. Simply put, all I want is for Lightroom to take over the responsibility from Canon EOS Utility and behave the same way when importing/copying files to the local disk drive. How do I set up Lightroom to do just that?
    I just want this type of folder and file structure:
    J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0037.JPG
    J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0039.JPG
    J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.CR2
    J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.JPG
    J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.CR2
    J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.JPG
    J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.CR2
    J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.JPG
    ... etc!
    1. First things first, where the heck do I specify the destination folder for new photos?
    There is an option titled Show import dialog when a memory card is detected under the General tab in Preferences, but there is no folder destination option associated with this.
    2. How do I tell Lightroom to leave original file names as they are (i.e. IMG_2887.CR2) and place them in a new sub-folder (i.e. 2011_06_17) of the destination folder (J:\) named after the capture date of the photo (July 17, 2011)?
    There are a few options under the File Handling tab in the Preferences, but they don't seem to concern the importation of files to the local disk drive.
    3. This maybe should have been the first question really; is Lightroom capable of importing files from the camera or a card reader to the local disk drive at all?
    I sure would expect it to be able to do that, but from the looks of it I am not too confident about that.
    For starters I would like it to just copy my photo files, either directly from camera or from a card reader to a destination folder of my choice, in the same fashion that Canon EOS Utility does it. I don't wat to just import the files to the Lightroom catalog and start working with the files directly from camera or memory card. Hell no! It's not an external disk drive for God's sake!
    Please advise!

    I'm not sure how it is now, but there used to be a dedicated "photo downloader" in Adobe Photoshop Elements at least up to version 6. Is this still part of Photoshop Elements? Or is it just available in Adobe Bridge? I don't remember though if it only imported files to the local disk drive or if it also added them to the library/catalog.
    I've tested Downloader Pro and Lightroom 4 now for importing the photos to local disk drive. I also tested one application called Cam2PC Image Downloader.
    The latter is actually called Cam2PC Image Browser and as its name suggests it's a software for browsing and doing basic changes to the photos, an image organizer. But it has a dedicated downlaoder called Cam2PC Image Downloader that can be very useful for importing photos. It comes either as a payed version or a freeware version.
    I also tested one called Smart Photo Import. This one could be a good alternative to Downloader Pro, but I think it still needs many improvements, and it lacks a lot of the functionality of Downloader Pro. But to be fair, this does cost half as much as Downloader Pro (13 EUR or 17 USD compared to 30 USD).
    I am most impressed by Downloader Pro. It has everything I could ask for really. But I was most impressed by its speed. I've done a simple speed test to see which one is faster and here are the results.
    Downloader Pro
    324 files (162 JPG & 162 CR2)
    Max speed: 21,25 MB/s
    Time: 02:58.6
    Lightroom 4
    Set to render "Standard" previews
    324 files (162 JPG & 162 CR2)
    Max speed: N/A
    Time: 03:41.7
    Compared to Downloader Pro: 78% done at 02:58.6
    Rendering time: 04:35.5
    Total: 08:16.12
    Cam2PC Image Downloader
    324 files (162 JPG & 162 CR2)
    Max speed: N/A
    Time: 03:30.6
    The max speed is the maximum transfer speed that ever occured during the transfer, and this is not something that the application is showing on it's own, it's the highest speed that I have seen with my own eyes. Unfortunately the other applications had no way of showing the speed, only Downloader Pro could show the speed. That's why it says N/A (as in not available).
    As you can see Downloader Pro did the same job in shortest amount of time. Note that I could be transfering 2 or 3 cards worth of photos for the time it takes Lightroom to transfer just one.
    The memory card was full when I started the test. It was a 4 GB Sandisk Ultra 30 MB/s card. The card reader was a Lexar USB 3.0 Professional. Although it was connected to a USB 2.0 port on Intel chipset motherboard (Intel X38, ICH9R). The destination folder was set to Desktop\(name of the application) on a Seagate 500 GB SATA (ST3500320AS) disk. All done on a Windows Vista PC with SP2.
    One way to make Lightroom do this job more quickly is to choose "minimum" as previews rendering option. This way it doesn't spend as much time rendering the photos after being copied to the disk drive. Now, I have not tested this but I believe that Lightroom can start a second import of a second memory card whilst the first one is being copied. I'm not sure how it would affect the speed though, and you would need two card readers for this.
    I wish I could skip rendering previews alltogether. I like to leave adding photos to the catalog and rendering previews for the last step. This is because it takes so long time and I like to use 1:1 previews, so I like leaving Lightroom to do this job in the morning or over the night.
    I have learned to use prests now in the import dialog of Lightroom. So now it should not be a problem if I always want to copy new photos to the same location. If this location is changed I can recall it simply by choosing my preset. This is very handy.
    All in all, Lightroom is very good at importing photos from camera or from a memory card reader to the local disk drive. But it's now my preferred way of importing photos to the computer. Which is why I have decided to purchase Downloader Pro. Thanks all for your help. I appreciate it!

  • "USER" and "FILE" tables

    Our database in Access 2000 has tables named "user" and "file". The Migration Work Bench is converting those to "USER_" and "FILE_". I'm guessing the words are reserved words in Oracle. Is there any way I can adjust the migration script to create the tables using those words without the trailing underscore?
    We had a similar problem in the Access database with a table named "text", which is a reserved word in Access. (What can I say? We use the word that's most appropriate, DBMS be damned!) We were able to access it in Java code by wrapping it in square brackets. Does Oracle have a similar trick?

  • How Do RoboHelp 9 WebHelp Generated Files Handle Map IDs and Aliases?

    The text below was written by our team's developer/architect. I am the help author who uses RoboHelp to write content and generate the help files, but I am clueless how it all gets generated and is deployed. Please help. We use RoboHelp 9. I use it in Windows XP and our app and help run on IE 7, 9, and Firefox (multiple versions).
    "Our application uses the numeric identifiers associated with the Map ID. For example, to get to the <appname>_home_page.htm file, we use the number 1053. <appname> = pecs, in this example.
    All of this is used in a call to a RoboHelp method defined in the RoboHelp_CSH.js file. The mehtod we are calling is the RH_ShowHelp() JavaScript method and the code to perform the call, when you click on Page Help, is this:
    RH_ShowHelp(0, ''/pecsHelp/index.htm>pecsHelp',HH_HELP_CONTEXT,topic);
    Topic is translated to the Map ID number for the page help. HH_HELP_CONTEXT is defined in the RoboHelp_CSH.js file. This method translates into a URL and from what I have seen, the URL that gets generated is this:
    http://{server}[:port]/pecsHelp/index.htm/{server}[:port]/pecsHelp/index.htm#<id=1053>>pecsHelp
    Server and port get replaced with the appropriate values. I have no clue how id=1053 is supposed to get translated to mean "pecs_home_page.htm". If you check the PECS_help.h file, you will see the following entry:
    #define PECS_Home_Page1 1053
    Then in the RoboHelp alias file (PECS 3.0.ali), the following line is in the file:
    <alias name="PECS_Home_Page1" link="pecs_home_page.htm"> </alias>
    But both of these files are used during the WebHelp generation process and I don't know how the WebHelp generated files handle the Map ID and aliases."

    You need to assign the numbers you find in the pecs_help.h file to topics in your help. You do this in Context Sensitive Help > Map Files > All Map IDs. (From RH7, but I assume the location is similar in RH9.) This creates the entries in the .ali file.
    Peter Grainge suggests a couple of sites to read for a greater understanding here:
    http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/using_map_ids.htm
    (Although the second  site is based on RH X5, the basic concepts and procedures should be very similar. )

  • How to assign file extension and custom icon to executable?

    Hi all,
    I was reading an old thread about this issue:
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=116925 
    I need to try to do this.  My application uses a custom file extension (i.e. .abc).  Upon installation I would like to:
    1.  Assign My App and custom icon to the file class (extension .abc).
    This could be done by manipluting the registry (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776856(VS.85).aspx)?  This could be a problem with Vista s unless registry operations occur during installation any changes are placed in a VirtualStore, correct?
    2.  Enable the double-clicking of .abc file type to pass the data in the file to my VI (exe). 
    According to the File Handling Guidelines of Jean-Pierre Drolet (http://www.openg.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=File+Handling+Guidelines) the best way to do this may be using LabVIEW as an ActiveX server.
    I know that when I build an executable (or installer?) there is the option to enable LabVIEW to act as an ActiveX server.  This much I know I need to do.
    I thought I would open this discussion again as others may be interested and there doesn't appear to be a completely clear solution available.  Please do contribute where you can.
    Cheers,
    Battler.

    How to register for ommand line event so that when a user double-clicks on a .abc file I can handle the opening of it?
    This needs to work (the files need to open) not only when the application is closed but also when it's already open.
    Anyone have ideas? 
    The solution to that is to implement a DDE server in your application (and add DDE entries to the registry on installation). There are still DDE functions in LabVIEW vi.lib\Platform\dde.llb but they are considered depreciated and have been removed from the palette, also because Microsoft is trying to tell everyone that DDE is depreciated and sort of unsupported too. But it is still the mechanisme to pass actions from the shell to running applications.
    I hesitate to send you over to lavag.org where there have been some discussions about this years ago. If you go there you would do good to employ a friendly attitude. That board is run all by enthusiasts and idealists and they are all great folks but react not very friendly to people with an attitude.

    User, please always tell us your jdev version as the solution might depend on it.
    Instead of posting some code, can you please elaborate on the use case? From the code I don'T understand what you try to do. Data (file) uploaded through the af:inputFile is binary. The file may only be a text file, but it might be an image. The inputFile doen not know as it only represents the data stream send from the client.
    In you code I don't see that you actually read the data from the stream, neither do I see any action on the stream. Can you describe what you mean by

  • Automatically open file based on MIME type and file extension

    We have an app that is registered to handle custom MIME type and file extension. This works perfectly on IE and FireFox causing them to download the file to a temp folder and then launch our app associated with MIME type and file extension with command line to the downloaded file. On Safari however this does not work. It opens up a download window and shows that it has downloaded the file with no option to open it.

  • New problem printing from financial websites - print button sends file to a "cgi" extension and adobe cannot open and print.

    I used to be able to print my bank statements directly from the website to my printer. Now the print program sends the file to a file with a "cgi" extension and saves it on my desktop but as an Adobe file. When i open it to print, Adobe says it is not supported or corrupt. running windows 7 on PC.

    mmsteer,
    I think I may be able to help you with this problem, which I was having with CS4 when I first upgraded to Lion, and others were having with CS3. This fix is courtesy of Aisolve on these discussion boards:
    Remove the Adobe PDF PPDs from the following folders:
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
    Be sure to go to your system Library, not your user Library.
    Also, regarding my current problem, I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That's a work-around for now, but I'll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver for OS X 10.7.2.
    Aisolve was helping me with this issue, too, and assures me that if I'm able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.

  • I installed 4.0 and cannot print anything. I uninstalled and installed 3.6 and cannot print anything. Everything has a .tif extension and wants me to save the file and I just want to print a selection from my email!

    I have had nothing but grief since I upgraded to 4. It is hateful. I can't print anything. If I highlight something from a website or my email and tell the printer to just print the selection, it doesn't print. It wants me to save the the file and they all have a .tif extension and nothing will print. I have uninstalled 4 and gone back to 3.6 and the problem is still there. If I highlight the desired selection and copy it to Word 2003, it will print what I want, but I can't print anything from the browser itself. That is the only problem I'm aware of so far. I upgraded about a week ago at most, maybe less than that. I'm so sorry I did. Why can't I print anything? I don't want my selection to be a file, I just want it to print!

    Thank you, but it didn't work. My printer stays on away, independently of the PC. I can print from Chrome and IE7 with no problem but not Firefox. The .tif extension refers to a tagged image something. I went looking around in the control panel and I found that Microsoft Office has it's own Access Snapshot Viewer. My company installed Office 2003 on my PC but I only use Word in my work. This snapshot viewer was listed in the control panel under Printers and Faxes. It was not the default anything but for some reason, Firefox 4 installation must have kicked it into gear. I've had the Office software for several months with not one problem. I have Firefox4 for less than a week and everything becomes difficult. I deleted the Office snapshot viewer (hope I don't get fired for it) so my little HP printer is the only one listed and now things seem to be working okay. I have FF 3.6 back up and running. I didn't lose any data and I hope the support and security updates stay available for a long time because it seems like there are plenty of people who aren't in love with FF4. Thank you so much anyway for your help.

  • Flash Player Installer downloads from the Adobe distribution site as a generic file without an extension and the file won't open.

    Hi, everyone.
    When I download Flash Player Installer from the Adobe distribution site Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe the file downloads to my hard drive as a generic file with no extension, and Windows can't determine which program to use in order to open/play the file. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    Is there something wrong with the downloaded file? Or am I missing required software?
    Thank you for your time,
    -Brandon

    Yes, I've never had a problem before. I've even downloaded the Flash Player Install files from the Adobe distribution site on multiple occasions in the past without issue. The only thing I could think of is that perhaps the ".exe" extension was left off to avoid triggering security measures on a computer or private network that would prevent the download.
    Anyway, it worked after I added the ".exe" extension to the filename, so I have no complaints!

  • HT4796 How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users?

    How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users? Having to log out just to sign in on a different user to access the files is absurd.
    Do I make all the files sharable to all the NOW users on the mac then just delete the files? Or can i erase my account that I made when starting up my new mac and then just use the one with the transferred files?
    I just dont want to have to og in and out of 2 different accounts .. Help please.         
    -Nina

    Sorry. /Users is a folder path. It would be similar to C:\Users (if that exists on Windows).
    So, in the Finder, select Computer from the Go menu.
    You'll see Macintosh HD, double-click that to open it.
    In there you'll see several folders. One is Users. That is where all the user Home folders exist. Select the other account's home folder and go to step 3.
    If you have any more confusion, please stop and ask. We'll get there.
    If you feel more comfortable, you can just log into that other account and move the files into /Users/Shared.
    Then, log into the account you wish to use and copy the files from the Shared folder and paste them into your Home folder, wherever they belong, Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.  That just takes a little more work. Transferring them into Shared, and then copying into your home sets the permissions on the files so that you won't have a problem accessing them later. The steps I provided just prevent you from having to do the double move, since you are not going to use the old account once you are done.
    Quick unix shorthand. If someone gives you a file path that begins with a /, that means the root of the hard drive, ie Macintosh HD (if you haven't renamed it). The path separator in unix is /, not \.
    A path that starts with ~/ means your Home folder, the one inside /Users named with your account name.
