Processing Raw in a 3rd Party Application
You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
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. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
Now for the kludge:
You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you *must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file*.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

File extension change in bridge

I recently updated my iphoto to iLife09 (iPhoto 8) and in doing so all of the file extensions in bridge changed from .jpg/.jpg2000 to .approject... i like the viewability of iphoto better than bridge but bridge allows better movement of files... i have been told that i must delect one or the other as they are no longer compatible.... if i select iphoto as the organizer can i delete bridge... i currently use iphoto (bridge not accessible) and PSE for editing... as have another editor that came with the canon dslr that is not useable.... any suggestions welcomed
file:///Users/russ/Desktop/Picture%203.png

thanks again... when you look at the directory tree in bridge i see...
all of the folder and files where of jpeg and i could open and edit
here but they would not be edited in iphoto... once i updated to
ilife09 they became this...
also if I go in thru the harddrive to get a picturefrom the pictures
folder that you see at the top it sends me here... i now have to
access the photo library by the way of the finder to the pictures
folder... any thoughts as to how to clean this up and would deleting
bridge help remove?

10.7 finder freezes when file extension changed

Hello community.
A very very annoying bug. I have saved a image from the web and renamed it without an extension. Afterwards I tried to change it to jpg in finder. Finder poped up a window asking me if I am sure. I click "use jpg" and then Finder freezed. I restarted finder and tried again, same thing happened.
As a test, then I tried to rename a .md5 file to .txt, After I confirmed in the window "use txt", Finder freezed for the third time.
Lion is not really ready. In the eye of Apple, we are just test dummies. Sorry.
Greeting!!

Forgot to say, only in list mode the freeze comes up. It seems already happened in Leopard.

Changing the file extension by entering a "?" in JFileChooser

Hi,
I've encountered a weird thing in JFileChooser. If you open the chooser, type at least one "?" in the field for the filename and then hit the approve button, the file extension will change to the text you entered as the filename.
To reproduce this problem, simply launch the JWSFileChooserDemo hit the "Open a File..."-button and as the filename enter something like "?deadbeef". Now click the open button and you will see that the file extension changes to "?deadbeef".
This is a really strange behaviour in my opinion.
I'm using Windows 7 with java 6u16, but the issue is the same on windows xp sp3. Perhaps on linux too. I'll give it a try as soon as I can.
Has anyone else encountered that problem?
Best regards
Edited by: Wurstsalat on Mar 23, 2010 10:30 AM

To reproduce this problemThis is not a problem but rather a feature. I did not know of this till now. Thanks for informing.
As Kevin pointed out this is related to filtering of files.
?deadbeefThis will match all the files which start with any letter followed by "deadbeef". So, ? is a wildcard meaning any one character. Other wildcard can be *, which means any number of characters. Try this:
*.txt
a*.txt
*.jp*g
??.txt I don't know other wildcards...
Thanks!

Pdf extension changes to .dat when send a file via e-mail from adobe acrobat 9

to convert a file from microsoft word 2007 to PDF and send as an attachment via e-mail from adobe 9, the file is received with the extension changed to. dat, so recipients can not open it.
Can anyone help me with this.

What is the OS of the sending computer?
What mail client?
I receive plenty of files on my PC as .dat files, which come from Mac user(s), rename the extension to what I think they ought to be and have no further problem. (I cannot change the senders email settings where the problem originates)
If the receiver knows it is a pdf file, they can drag it into Acrobat, but renaming the extension serves future use.

Download ZIP file without changing file extension

I regularly download a zipped csv file, of the format: "filename.csv.gz". As the name does not change, Firefox adds a digit to distinguish it, so for example I get "filename.csv-3.gz". This is a pain as it changes the file extension which means that I cannot open the extracted file without first renaming it. I want to keep an archive of all the files, so deleting them each time isn't really an option, and neither is moving them to a different location each time. Is there any way the naming convention for downloads can be changed?

I think you have to disable it in your Operating system:

Does anyone know how to change .mov to a supported file extension (and what extension would you suggest)? .mov works on Apperture 3.0 so I thought it would work on Final Cut Pro X....

Does anyone know how to easily change a .mov file extension to one of the accepted Final Cut Pro X extensions? I thought since .mov worked in Aperture 3.0 it should work on FCP X. Thanks

Hi Tom
Thanks
I am now doing some 1 minute import tests from various Q/T's
They are all in the same place on an External 1 TB Western Digital - connected by Firewire 800
I have just imported some 1 minute tests from other Q/T 's and they have imported Ok - quickly imported and transcoded etc fine and quickly.
Using your suggested methd of getting the details using Quicktime 7 Movie Inspector I can see NO DIFFERENCE in the formats! In fact with four of these files open I can click on each in turn and see the Inspector details for each in turn - and only the name, size etc changes - not the format!
I am really upset and confused by this as I have been trying for the last four days to get these imported. I realise that this is small potatoes to those who are having problems with even FCP 7 Files! But, these are q/t's of 30 hours worth of unique reserahc material I shot in Africa. I have made several programmes from this material before (one even shown on Discovery!) I WAS hoping that I could use the new and all singing FCPX to make some new programmes for teaching purposes
But, how can I do that if only some will import? As I posted elsehwre - i get the message "No importable files"
I am REALLY grateful for your expertise and advice here
thanks

Same file name at Target with change in file extension

Hi,
I am working on File to File scenario. I need to create target file name similar to the source file name. This can be achieved by using ASMA. But my requirement is to change the file extension for the target file.
For example:
Source File u2013 InvoiceNotification.txtu2026.Then target file should create as
Target File - InvoiceNotification.csv
This can be achieved by using OS Command unix script in the receiver communication channel.
Is there any better way of doing this..say something like Dynamic Configuration or Variable substitution?
Thank you.

Hi Achuth,
I think you are doing content conversion at the receiver side. Go ahead with ASMA, get the file name.
DynamicConfigurationconf = (DynamicConfiguration)container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKeyFileName = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
conf.put(FileName, a);
return "";
In the receiver file adapter, keep the extension as .CSV. That's enough.
Else you can follow as said by Abhishek Salvi. Either way you can achieve the requirement.
Thanks,

Change file extension in receiver file adapter

File to File Scenario
Posted: Sep 11, 2006 3:47 PM Reply E-mail this post
I am working on a File to File scenario.
Source System gives out a file: abc ( with no extension)
We need to archive it as: abc.done
And we need to send it to a FTP server ( receiver File adapter) as abc.txt.
How can I append a file extension when I archive and
how can I change the file extension in the receiver File adapter?
FYI, we are using XI as FTP server so I have created dummy message interface with no mapping.

Hi,
If I understood correctly once XI picks up the file it should be archieved as filename.doc and then it should be FTP'ed to a different location with a change in extension filename.txt.
1. To Archive in the sender communication channel you can use OS Commands after prosessing (>=SP14) to rename the file and archive it. Suggested write a batch file which will rename the file and call the batch file from the OS Command of the sender file adapter. You can either use Archive functionaliy of the Sender adapter or you can write one more command in batch file to move the file to different folder. Make sure you are using fullpath while writing batch file.
2. As said use dynamic configuration in a dummy mapping and then get the source file name and change the extension.

Illustrator extend script save() changes file extension

If I open a PDF in Illustrator, make a change, and save using the menu option or shortcut, the file is saved as expected.
If I try to use extend script (i.e. app.activeDocument.save(), or .saveAs()), the file extension is renamed to .ai. How do I keep my original filename when saving with extend script?

Got it working by using .saveAs() with PDFSaveOptions

Pse 7 changes the file extensions, by using a -1 up to 6 times on a photo, how to stop this problem.

I cannot keep up with my photos, they somehow change the file extension by adding
a -1 over and over, how can I stop this process
to keep a single file extension?

I checked out the backup/sync, it is not turned on after checking. Also I do not have a second computer as a backup, I use an Esata drive of 1 TB.
I have a photo called Rose.jpg, later I try to open the file and it tell be its lost. I try to reconnect, no luck, then I manually try to find the file and its called Rose-1.jpg or up to Rose-1-1-1-1-1-1.jpg or Rose-1-1-1-1-1-1_edited.jpg. I do not understand what is taking place in my computer with my photos. I have about 17,000 photos and I am having a real problem.
Any help would be appreciated. sghmotorhome

Mistakenly change file extension while in disk use mode

I made the mistake of changing the file extension of a file on my Nano (5G) while it was in "disk use" mode. When I unplugged the device and later plugged it in, the modified file was gone. Does the Nano treat unrecognized files as non-existant? I tried using Windows Explorer to find the file, but nothing was there. Also, the overall memory used on the Nano has decreased by what I would guess is the same amount as the missing file. I'd like to get my file back. Any suggestions?

Unable to change File Type for specific file extensions

Under Preferences->File Types different file extensions are assigned a file type e.g. The file extension .pkb is assigned the file type of PL/SQL. The file type of PL/SQL then opens the Code editor.
I have a user who would prefer to open .pkb files in the SQL Worksheet editor but I am unable to change the file type to SQL Script as the option is greyed out.
How do I change the File Type for these extensions? Is there a preferences file I need to change?
Version: 3.2.20.09
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
There is no preference but it turns out you can manually edit one of the preferences.xml files to force PL/SQL types to use the SQL worksheet editor. For SQL Developer 3.2.20.09.87 that file is system3.2.20.09.87\o.sqldeveloper.11.2.0.9.87\preferences.xml and will be located (on Windows 7, for example) in directory C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer
No guarantee this will work in future versions of the product, but for now you can add the following two xml blocks...
For example, for .pls, add to <extensionToContentTypeMap ...>
            <Item>
               <Key>.pls</Key>
               <Value>TEXT</Value>
            </Item>
and <userExtensionList>
            <Item>
               <docClassName>oracle.ide.db.model.SqlNode</docClassName>
               <userExtensions class="java.util.ArrayList">
                  <Item class="oracle.ide.config.DocumentExtensions$ExtInfo">
                     <extension>.pls</extension>
                     <locked>false</locked>
                  </Item>
               </userExtensions>
            </Item> I researched this a while back after reading through some forum thread where someone claimed the PL/SQL file extensions got opened in the SQL editor in his environment, but without stating any specific release information. Possibly it worked for him then due to different product behavior (whether intentional or a bug), or perhaps even due to the technique described above.
