FCP exports files without file extensions

Hello-- when I export a QT in FCP, it results in a file that does not have a file extension. I've confirmed that Finder is set to show all file extensions on my system, and when I export a file from FCP and "get info", Finder shows the file name is indeed missing the extension-- and even when I unlock the file and have read/write permissions for it, the "hide extension" option for these exported files is greyed out (so I can't check or uncheck it, and the file details confirm it has no extension as part of the file name).
When these files are accessed on a Windows system, they won't play unless I manually add the .mov at the end... which is really troublesome when I'm doing a massive batch export of files to have to rename each one!
The problem appears to have only started after the last update of 10.6.4... which also coincided with my systems update to FCP 7.0.2. Is this a known issue for anyone else? Or just a coincidence? Thanks for any help in advance!

Thanks for the reply Meg! I'm exporting from a sequence... it looks like sending a to Compressor or File>Export>Quicktime movie works OK but selecting a (or several) sequences or clips within the browser and then using the "batch export" feature will generate the file extension problem. Hmmm. I wonder if something is corrupted with my newest install?

How to open an InDesign file without .indd extension?

Hi,
I am trying to open an InDesign file which does not have the extension .indd.
I can open the file from InDesign's File-> Open menu item. But if I try to open programmaticaly it says the file format is not supported.
I tried using SDKLayoutHelper::OpenDocument and IDocumentCommands::CreateOpenCommand both gives the same error.
Thanks,

Thanks. My file was not proper. I am able to open the file without the extension.

Proc*C/C++ suport for include files without .h extensions

We have written code C++ code which is Standard C++ ver 5.0 compilant. In this version of C++ compiler the files are without .h extensions. For example <iostream.h> is now to be reffered as <iostream>. We are facing problems in compiling this code with PCC compiler
Sample Code:
File test1.h
#ifndef TEST1H
#define TEST1H
#include<iostream>
#include<list>
class test
private:
int i;
public:
int k;
#endif
File test1.pc
#include <iostream>
#include<test1.h>
int main()
int i;
std::cout << "Enter a value :";
std::cin >> i;
std::cout << std::endl;
return 0;
When this code is compiled with Code=cpp CPP_SUFFIX=cpp PARSE=PARTIAL options we get the following errors

I guess so PCC compiler does not identify include files without .h extension.

Do you have the SUNWhea package on your system? This package contains the headers you seem to be missing. It's on the Solaris 8 CDROM 2 of 2. If you don't know how to add packages from the CDROM, look up "Adding and Removing Software After Installing Solaris 8" in the "Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide" on docs.sun.com.

Serving Text files without html extension as html pages

I have a large site that has a number of legacy html files with no extensions. The site was running under 10.3 just fine. Just reinstalled 10.4 and now these pages are rendered as plain text in the browser.
I've tried adding a blank entry in the extensions under the text/html mime/type setting but doing so creates an error which stops the server. I've got hundreds of these files stored for several years that I don't want to go back through and add a .html on the end of.
How can I get the web server to treat a file without an extension as an html file?

I know this isn't an answer to the question you're asking, but are you sure you want that behavior? There might be times where you want an extensionless file to be loaded as a plain text file. At the very least, it will help make your site more compatible.
If all these files are collected in the same area on your system, it might be best to give them the .html extension.
You can do this relatively painlessly with virtually any scripting language. I know I've even seen an AppleScript that will go through a batch and change the extension for you. You might want a modified one that will first check for the start/end HTML tags in the file first to make sure you're only changing HTML files. A quick Google search for scripting a filename change will probably yield lots of results (check Perl and PHP resource sites as well).

Proc*C/C++ support for header files without .h extension.

Does Pro*C/C++ compiler suppport include files without .h extensions.??
The following code written in a .pc file, which is compilant to Standard C++ 5.0 standards when compiled with Pro*C/C++ compiler to generate a .cpp gives errors
#include<isotream>
int main()
std::cout << "Test";
return(1);
On compilation it gives following problems:
#include <iostream>
.........1
PCC-S-02015, unable to open include file
Standard C++ version 5.0 has all the include files without .h extension. Does any version of Pro*C/C++ support that?

The normal way to handle this is with the -I option on the compile line:
cc -I/usr/ucbinclude -c myprog.c ...
Is there a reason you can't use the -I option?

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!

How do I open old files without application extensions on them?

I have lots of 1995 or so files written from a mac on 3.5 diskets most of which I have read onto disk.
But they have no extensions and I can't seem to open them.
If I had to guess I would say they are canvas, possibly powerpoint but using powerpoint 98and canvas 7 I can"t seem to open them.
I have a G3 powerbook. a G3 tower both running OS9, a powerPC macmini running OS10 and OS9 in emulation, a PC portable running System10 and another PC portable running XP.
What are my options short of seppuku?
I need to get these files to teach a course.
Thanks

When I use OS 9 and previous Mac systems I use CanOpener for problems such as you present. It is still available too.
http://www.abbottsys.com/co.html
Use CanOpener to get into just about any file.
Powerful Mac data recovery software. Our famous universal file opener lets you read any file -- and extract what you need including text, icons, PICS and more. It's perfect for browsing all types of files, including old files, foreign files and files your Mac can't open, and it's indispensable for recovering text from damaged files - a lifesaver!
Plus, CanOpener lets you view virus infected files without launching the virus. So you can safely check suspect files and recover text from them - a powerful way to avoid virus infections!
CanOpener has special text filters that let you...
*Extract Names, Phone Numbers, URLs, Email, Web and IP Addresses.
*Strip HTML Coding. Remove extra Carriage Returns and blank spaces from email and Web text.
*Extract important sentences such as questions or anything containing $'s and numbers.
*Rapidly find clean text in files that contain huge amounts of 'garbage'
CanOpener Extractor.
Now you are not limited to opening files individually. You can drag and drop any file, or a folder full of files, to do bulk extraction using any of the special text extraction filters! A fantastic time saver!

All files without .indd extension corrupted

Being a Mac user, I never bothered appending the .indd extension to my InDesign files, because I never needed to (or so I thought). However, after working on lots of projects and archiving them to DVD, it seems that any InDesign files without the .INDD extension are now corrupt!
If I try to open any them, I'm given the unhelpful "Cannot open the file xxx. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" message.
The files were originally created in CS2 on Mac OS 10.4.x (I think), but now I am using CS4 on Mac OS 10.6.x. I have tried adding the .indd extension (which gives the file it's InDesign icon, rather than a generic blank document icon) and opening it on the original Mac, but to no avail.
I have loads of these file, which are all exactly the same! Can anybody help, please?

It's not clear if you're trying to open the files by double clicking on them in Finder, by Right/Option-click > Open, Right/Option-click > Open with, by dragging them to the InDesign icon in the Dock, dragging them into the open InDesign workspace, or by using File > Open.
Are you using the same user account, same installation as the files were created with, and opening the un-renamed files on the old machine's hard drive (not on a network server or CD/DVD) with File > Open, or are you using another method? Do you get different results with different methods ? Do you get the same message on both the CS2 and CS4 installations on their respective machines?
Have you tried all of these on original files, not the renamed ones? Same or different results with any or all?
Have you been successful in creating a new InDesign CS4 file and saving it, closing it, then opening it by one or more of the above-mentioned methods? Results?

IDCS3_Saving files without .indd extension!

I am trying to save CMYK InDesign files to a "hot folder" on our network. The contents of the hot folder are converted to a Postscript file then processed through a computer that separates the color information and sends the info to 2 places: 1) a plate machine (creates plates for a web press) 2) a C.I.P. (color ink position) file that goes to the web-press' computer to tell it where the color needs to be. I can get plates to come out fine, however, the .indd extension seems to make the CIP files unreadable to the Press computer. How can I save the InDesign files without the .indd extension. If I simply delete the extension, it shows up anyway as it goes through the rip computer and adds a .ps extension at the end. (ex: CMX20080416A01.indd.ps / it needs to read:CMX20080416A01.ps <note: the .ps is added by the rip computer>) We are able to achieve this in CS2, but that was set up before I started here, and nobody else can seem to remember how it was done. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ADVICE/INSIGHT!

Easiest way would just be to strip them off in the Finder with a script. InDesign is probably dead intent on keeping them since they are the only true way to identify file type in OS X.
Activate folder actions on a folder on your Desktop
Attach this script action into ~/Library/Scripts/Folder Script Actions and attach it to the folder you created:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
tell application "Finder"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set myItems to every file of folder this_folder whose name extension = "indd"
repeat with thisItem in myItems
set trimmedName to name of thisItem
set trimmedName to characters 1 thru -6 of trimmedName
set trimmedName to trimmedName as string
set name of thisItem to trimmedName
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
Duplicate the indd docs there and they should be renamed without .indd

FCP Export to M2v file...finder crashes on select

hey,
My finder crashes every time I select a file that was exported with FCP. Any reasons why this happens?

I believe if you turn of the preview window it will keep it from crashing, just click that little flippy triangle above the preview. Even with the mpeg2 component installed, if you click on a 60 minute mpeg2 file you will get a good 30 seconds of the old beach ball as it loads the preview, which can be quite annoying.

Files without an extension?

I was looking in a cache for a program and saw that there were a lot of file types listed only as "Document" with no file extension.
Here is an example:
0A7D50974BFF28DC45DC276581A6C030
Now, when I press the spacebar for a preview an image comes up...so, this is an actual file...however, not having a file type (even when I do Cmd+I) there is no way to search for these "Documents".
Can anybody tell me why this is, what file types these are and how to search for them since the names are randomized and I can't search by file type?
Thanks,
J.
P.S. Yes...I have gone to Finder > Preferences > Show All Extensions....and still these "Documents" don't have a file type associated with them.

While the "Hide Extension" radio button is on the screen, it is greyed out so I cannot click/unclick it.

How to download a LOB file without File Browse or a Report?

Hi, All,
Behind my APEX 4.2.2 app, I have a table with PDF's held in a column of type BLOB. With the ID of a given row held in a Page Item, I would like to dynamically generate a simple link for downloading the file. Can this be done?
I wasn't sure how to pose this question, so feel free to ask for details you think might help you help me
Thanks,
-Seth.

Mike,
Thank you for your help. Here is how I managed to display a Page Item as a URL to download a BLOB - which is a PDF, in this case...
1. Set up an Automatic Row Fetch process
2. Created a Page Item (P4_BLOB_CONTENT) with its source as the blob content database column
3. Created a Display Only page item (P4_DOWNLOAD_LINK) but did nothing to it
4. Set up a Dynamic Action (On Change, Set Value) to set the value of P4_DOWNLOAD_LINK via a SQL Query, setting Escape Special Characters to No:
SELECT '<a href="'||APEX_ITEM.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC('P4_BLOB_CONTENT',doc_id,NULL,'inline')||'">Download Link</a>' dlink
FROM documents
WHERE doc_id = :P4_DOC_ID;
This Dynamic Action fires when the value of P4_DOC_ID changes. This displays a functioning hyperlink, Download Link, that gets the PDF. If the above query returns no row, no link is displayed.
Two remaining questions:
1. When the link is clicked, the browser wants to save the PDF. This is fine, of course, but it does so with a default file name of 'download'. How can I set that default file name as the name of the PDF being downloaded?
2. How do I get the MIME type to be passed along so the browser knows about it? The MIME type stored in the database table.
Thanks,
-Seth.

Send a file without File Content Conversion

Hi,
I need to send an IDOC flat file that I pick from File system to a FTP server through XI. I was just wondering if there was a way by which I could avoid doing File Content Conversion on both the send and receiver file adapters?
In my scenario, I am just passing this file through XI. I am not making any changes to it but to send it thru XI, I will have to convert from flat IDOC file ( file generated from File port in ECC) to XML and then from XML to Flat file.
Can anyone guide??

Hi William,
As a matter of fact, no IR object is needed. You can make up any interface name and namespace in the ID.
This sounds interesting..!!
Can I just note down the steps in this case and can you validate the same..
1. No IR objectd needed.
2. File adapters ~~ Both sender and reciver , make the protocol as FILE
3. Receievr Determination , Interface determination , Sender Agreement , Receiver Agreement ~~~ Give dummy Interface as well as Namespace values?
Regards,
Bhavesh

Open file without file scan permission

Hi!
Under Windows XP it was possible to open a file in a netware directory having read but no "file scan" permission on the containing directory.
We used this for use cases like the one described here: https://forums.novell.com/novell-pro...ermission.html
Under Windows 7 and Windows 8 that doesn't seem to work anymore???
Is that "feature" no more supported or is it a problem with our Client oder Windows setup?
