FIle and directory selection

How can u select both file and directories in a single dialog box if you are using SWT
i know for the individual ones you use
DirectoryDialog
FileDialog
but dont know which one combines then???

               JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
                    jfc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
                    jfc.showOpenDialog(new JFrame());

Both file and directory path selection

Hi,
Is it possible to select both file path and directory path from one parameter using F4?If yes how?
Thanks.

AFAIK, it is not possible.
But you can try a workaround though :-P
Make two radio-buttons:
1. Select File (rb_file)
2. Select Directory (rb_dir)
Then based on the radio-button call the respective method
IF RB_FILE = 'X'.
Call Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG
ELSEIF RB_DIR = 'X'.
Call Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_BROWSE
ENDIF.

File and directory names with Danish characters

I have installed the Novell Client v2.0 for Linux on my Open Suse 10.3. The Client is connecting to my Netware servers (6.0 & 6.5) without any problems...
There is one problem... Filenames and directory names with the Danish , & (ae, oe & aa), e.g the filename bger.doc (bger = books) is shown as b. and when clicking the file the file disappears from the file list. It seems to be the same problem with the German (umlaub).
What to do?

As far as I know, the Novell Client for Linux expects that file and
directory names use the UTF-8 encoding and does not support a traditional
8-bit encoding like ISO 8859-1. Try changing the encoding of file and
directory names to UTF-8 as described in
SDB:Converting Files or File Names to UTF-8 Encoding - openSUSE

Seems a good hint. When I create a folder or file from within SUSE using an "Umlaut" everything is OK and NCL 2.0 displays them correctly as they are UTF-8 formatted.
The proposed tool is no solution: one cannot convert folders or files that one cannot see (does it work for folders at all?). Maybe a windows tool would work because one could search for all files or folders with "Umlaute" and convert them. Other options?

File and Directory Maintenance on OSX Server

Are there any special considerations for using file and directory maintenance utilities such as Disk Warrior or TechTool, etc. when dealing with OSX Server, or can it be handled just like any other volume.
We have all of our data and our user home directories on the server and I would like to run some miantenance on them.
Thanks.

I am no expert on disk utilities.
Personally, I just have a separate 5G partition with a minimal OSX which I boot from once a month (or before a server update) and run Disk Repair & Repair Permissions from.
As far as I know, there is nothing going on on the server that is not going on on a 'normal' OSX machine (at file level mode). The OSX unix offering is miles from the previous OS9 model where the likes of Norton was almost mandatory. The built-in 'periodic' scripts and disk utility 'repair' (see "man fsck" in Terminal) all run at unix level, and have done for years, even before Apple II days!
Although I have both Disk Warrior & TechTool, I don't use them except in an 'emergency' (otherwise called: "try anything").
I would be interested in any other comments though.

File and directory permissions

We are running OSX 10.7 Lion on a Mac Pro 1,1 IN RAID. We are using this system als fileserver. Since last year it came to our attention that there where problems with the permissions on the files and directories (they seem corrupted). I do not mean system files but the files we stored on this server. When I look at random file permissions I get a whole list of users etc. A lot of duplicate users are there and also there are some entries in the list saying 'fetching'.
We use the server admin tool to manage groups and users.
This is what we have done so far:
- Try to repair permissions through terminal (because of RAID configuration)
- Propogate permissions through server app
- Resetpassword trick (restart cmd+R / terminal / resetpassword)
Can anyone tell me how to get this working 'clean' again? is there a way to reset all files according to the workgroup/user settings in the server app?

Sounds a bit like the temp files are not being 'closed' after being written
to or read by Labview. If you are using the advanced file vi's make sure
that they are closed afterwards.
If the OS assumes they are open then it will not allow deletion etc even
outside of Labview.

Script for moving files and directory to archive

I wanna read text files from directory that contain - lots of other directorys... and by using this code I have error,,,
Can anyone help me plzzz
Edited by: Shamma on Oct 9, 2008 3:32 AM

You actually have more than 1 problem: you cannot traverse directories recursively and you get a NullPointerException.
For the first problem you might want to verify what this statement returns:
child.toString() (I honestly don't understand why you are calling toString() on a String object, but that's not the real problem!)
You probably expect it to be a full absolute path.
The NullPointerException has already been pointed out by masijade.

Dynamic File and Directory Name without Mapping

Hello Experts,
We have following requirement:
1) Files will be picked from R/3 AL11 directory and would be placed in corresponding folder in target system.
2) On source side ,there would be only one folder for all types of files(around 20),but on target side,there would be one folder for each kind of file(20 folders)
3) File name should be same on the target side but target directory should be selected based on file name.
I have gone through a number of posts related to similar requirements and hence,sorry for a new post but I am not yet able to find a solution to this.
I could understand,this can be achieved using DynamicConfiguration UDF .
But I have no possibility to have mapping in my scenario.It would just be a pass through scenario.
Can anyone please suggest a solution to this?
Thanks.
Regards,
Shweta

Hello,
Thanks a lot for suggesting solution to this problem.
I could achieve this using following Java mapping:
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class GetDynamicConfiguration implements StreamTransformation {
    private Map param;
    public void setParameter(Map map1) {
        this.param = map1;
    public void execute(InputStream inputstream, OutputStream outputstream) throws StreamTransformationException {
        try {
               AbstractTrace trace = null;
            // a) Set ouput File name
            String directory=null;
               trace = (AbstractTrace)param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.MAPPING_TRACE );
            param.put(DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/Dynamic", StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION), "");
            DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
            DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
               DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
            String filename =conf.get(key);
            conf.put(key, filename);
               trace.addInfo("File name is "+filename);
            if(filename.equals("in.txt"))
            directory = "/home/ftpxi/in";
               if(filename.equals("test.txt"))
               directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
               if(filename.equals("shweta27.txt"))
               directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
               trace.addInfo("Directory name is "+directory);
               conf.put(key1, directory);
            // b) Just copy input file to output file
            byte[] b = new byte[inputstream.available()];
            inputstream.read(b);
            outputstream.write(b);
        } catch (Exception exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();

Standby Redo Log Files and Directory Structure in Standby Site

Hi Guru's
I just want to confirm, i know that if the Directory structure is different i need to mention these 2 parameter in pfile
on primary site:
DB_CONVERT_DATAFILE='standby','primary'
LOG_CONVERT_DATAFILE='standby','primary'
On secondary Site:
DB_CONVERT_DATAFILE='primary','standby'
LOG_CONVERT_DATAFILE='primary','standby'
But i want to confirm this wheather i need to issue the complete path of the directory in both the above paramtere:
like:
DB_CONVERT_DATAFILE='/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/standby','/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/primary'
LOG_CONVERT_DATAFILE='/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/standby','/u01/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/primary'
Second Confusion:-
After transferring Redo Standby log files created on primary and taken to standby on the above mentioned directory structure and after restoring the backup of primary db alongwith the standby control file will not impact the physical standby redo log placed on the above mentioned location.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello,
Regarding your 1st question, you need to provide the complete path and not just the directory name.
On the standby:
db_file_name_convert='<Full path of the datafiles on primary server>','<full path of the datafiles to be stored on the standby server>';
log_file_name_convert='<Full path of the redo logfiles on primary server>','<full path of the redo logfiles on the standby server>';
Second Confusion:-
After transferring Redo Standby log files created on primary and taken to standby on the above mentioned directory structure and after restoring the backup of primary db alongwith the standby control file will not impact the physical standby redo log placed on the above mentioned location.
How are you creating the standby database ? Using RMAN duplicate or through the restore/recovery options ?
You can create the standby redo logs later.

Shivananda

File and directory restructuring

I just moved all my PSE8 contents to a new computer using backup and restore, and it worked fine. however, the directory structure on the new computer isn't ideal; PSE uses the whole "documents/settings..." structure from the source location, which creates a bit of a convulted structure. it works, but its messy. I'd like to change it. I can think of two ways of doing it but would like some recommendations and thoughts before i proceed.
1. Use the "move" command to take logical groupings of photos and move them to a different file/directory structure. I know this will work, but it can be a bit tedious.
2. just move the files to the new directory strucutre, and let PSE find them using "reconnect." not sure how automated this will be or if i will have to "browse and find" each file. i've never been too impressed with "reconnect"
thoughts?

First of all my entire post is sequitur, it's just not sequitur to you.
Second, malware usually attaches itself to Windows or browser files, not to some Jpeg laying in a remote corner of a "volume" drive. Of what exact "good" or use would it be to the originator? Why would you place malware in a file that stands a chance of not being opened at all? Given that there are are great number of multi-user computers in the field, the care the OP has taken to avoid malware is of little relevance to the possibility of an actual infection.
Malware writers have gotten more sophisticated, as have the scanners. However, what is getting through seems to be be harder to identify and eradicate.
In the case of guarding my personal information, I am zealous to the point of not being willing to take chances, and would rather reformat in the event of trouble, instead of a long running post and repost, scan and rescan, install and uninstall various malware scanners, meanwhile relying on ther kindness of others to bail yourself out of an infection. Reformat, and my photos are a still right where they where on "G:/" (on >>>four <<<) computers.
As an aside note, the biggest uptick in exploits and infections is from the "friendship meat markets" such as "Face Book", where all the imbeciles congregate to take "online IQ tests", thus giving out all their personal information. As you can likely tell, I am not all all suited to that environment, and have had my IQ tested in manners professional.
You are simply overtly and patently incorrect about all the, "I lost my photos because PSE stopped working" being "pilot error" in file management. Simply go to the PSA forum, you'll see what mean. Or, read this post, from this forum.
Re: out of memory error adobe elements 3.0
Hi, just wondering if you had any success in retreiving or opening your Organizer?? Im having the same problem and i have tried everything, i even rang Adobe and they told me there were no technitions able to help because Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 was too old. If anyone has a solution please let me know, i have 5 years worth of photos in this software, i just want to be able to open the organizer to burn all my pics to CD then i will update my software. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
IMHO, it would be more productive to assist a member who desires to have knowledge and control over their photos location in the Windows environment, and also permit a harmonius integration with PSE's file management, rather than simply continuing to spout Adobe dogma. Given the POS that PSE-8 (organizer) is stacking up to be, it may be time to seek out another file manager anyway, at which point you had better know exactly where (in Windows) your photos are and be able to manage them from there.
If I were going to go through the agonizing, (to me), process of recognizing a deity, it certainly wouldn't be "The Adobe Software Corporation". And hell would freeze over before I knelt at PSE's altar.

Zip files and Adobe Acrobat files

Hello all,
I have a couple of kinda distinct questions that I wanted to ask. I hope I've chosen the right sub-forum to post them in. My questions are
1) when I try to unzip a .zip file in my Documents folder I get the following error message
"Archive Utility - unable to unarchive "CdnEnergy.zip" into "Documents". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)"
ditto if I move it to the Desktop and try there. This doesn't seem to be a 'space' problem as my computer is very new and I haven't loaded it up with lots of stuff. I have unzipped this file before (admittedly not on a Mac).
2) How can I set Adobe Acrobat to be the default application for .pdf files so that when I click on a pdf file it's opened by Adobe Reader rather than the Mac Viewer? I know I can select Adobe with a Ctrl+click, but can I set it so that it's always the default?
Thanks very much for your help,
Eoghan

Welcome to the Discussions!
The first problem is not obvious, but I would suggest using Disk Utility to repair permissions. Also, you could download the free Stuffit Expander to have an alternate unzip program.
The second problem is easy. In the Finder, select a pdf file and then select File->Get Info. In the window that appears, select the Acrobat as the Open With application and select the option to always use this application.

Save As - copies file and keeps original open

When you perform a Save As in Dreamweaver CS5 it creates the new file but also keeps the old file open. I have found this to cause issues because I sometimes start editing the wrong file. In previous versions when you do a Save As the file you are working with simply becomes the new file. You don;t have two of the same file open. Is there a way to change the way this functions? I looked through the preferences and did not see anything that may relate to this...
Thanks!

No, there is no way to change it. This behaviour was introduced in Dreamweaver CS4 in response to feedback from many users.
The idea is that you make changes to the original file, and then select Save As. The changes are saved in the new file that opens, and discarded in the old file.
I have to admit that I still haven't got used to it even after a couple of years, but that's the way a lot of testers liked it. I find the best approach is to close the original file as soon as the new one opens.

Please help on create files and directories in Session Bean

Hi,
I am trying to create files and directories at run time from a session bean. Since EJB 2.0 prohibit the use of the java.io.* package. The only thing that I know how is to use the URLConnection. After getting a connection through URL. I may use the getOutputStream() to get a output stream to write to the HTTP server. But the getOutputStream() returns an OutputStream object which is one of the package in the java.io package. Since I need to create file and directory, I need to use the FileOutputStream that is also under the java.io package.
Can someone give me a hint what should I do. Here is a directory and the file that I may need to create;
Directory1/Drictory2/myFiles.au
Thank you in advance, your help is greatly appreciated.

From 24.1.2 (Programming Restrictions) of the EJB 2.0 spec:
� An enterprise bean must not use the java.io package to attempt to access files and directories in the file system.
The file system APIs are not well-suited for business components to access data. Business components should use a resource manager API, such as JDBC, to store data.
You might want to look at the File System Service Provider in JNDI for an alternative approach. I have never used an FSSP though.

Files and Directories with *'s

I have a problem where I moved files and folders from a 10.4.8 G4 server on to a new 10.4.8 G5 Server with XSAN 1.4. Some of these files and folders are part numbers and have *'s in the names. Any directory or file with a * in the name appears normally on the local file system. Over AFP and SMB these files and directory names get clobbered and end up looking like 6 characters ~ and one character, or something like ADQEOI~F. Has anyone ever seen this behavior before? I'd love to just rename all of the files and folders but I'm sure my users will not approve. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You probably should rename the files.
A * is specifically not allowed in a file name. What's happening is that the file is stored with the unicode representation of the character. Unicode-aware apps like the Finder can deal with this but most other apps (including the file sharing daemons) cannot and that's why you see the unusual file names.
You're going to run into all kinds of other problems, too. Renaming your files i the best bet.

JFileChooser - show files and directories only select directory

I need a JFileChooser that will display directories and zip files but only allow a directory to be selected.
basically i need to be able to select a certain directory that contains a certain zip file, so to make it easier to find i want the zip files to show up so i can find the correct directory...
I tried...
        JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
        jfc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
        jfc.setFileFilter(new FileFilter() {
            public boolean accept(File f) {
                if (f.isDirectory()) {
                    return true;
                else if (f.getName().endsWith(".zip")) {
                    return true;
                return false;
            public String getDescription() {
                return "testing";
        });but that only displays directories in the GUI.
The javadoc for the setFileSelectionMode() says, "Sets the JFileChooser to allow the user to just select files, just select directories, or select both files and directories. The default is JFilesChooser.FILES_ONLY. " ....which makes you think that setting the file selection mode only alters what can be SELECTED...however it alters what is displayed as well.
...any ideas?
thanks

This should display the files of interest provided the filter is tuned to do so, and allow you to select either the file of interest or the folder... If you select the file, then folder it is contained is returned.
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
chooser.setCurrentDirectory(new java.io.File("."));
MyFileFilter filter = new MyFileFilter();
chooser.setFileFilter(filter);
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
System.out.println(chooser.getCurrentDirectory());
}

FIle and directory selection
