File name selection

In filechooser, is there a way that I can "scroll" the displayed list of files based upon each keystroke entered into the dialog's "File Name"?

Is it because you rename each image individually rather than in a batch ? I rename all of my images, but I nearly always batch process the entire shoot. That is very easy to do as you probably already know. I only occasionally have to rename a single image with a special name. I click once on the file name and the entire name is highlighted as you mention. Then I double click and only the "meat" of the name without the extension is highlighted. I didn't have to line the cursor up to the period to get it to do that. This is on a Mac. I am not sure what would happen on a PC. It is pretty fast and simple, although I guess the double click would be a pain if I were renaming hundreds of images. Is there a reason why you are not batch renaming them? In the old days, photographers would often describe the image in the name ("Oldwhitehouse.jpg" for example). Now with LR and keywords, that is not really necessary anymore. Many photographers rename on import with the date/time and sequence number. All that is necessary is that they have a unique name and then use LR to find them later.
my 2¢ anyway...

Hi,
Please declare filepath variable as :-
select-OPTIONS p_cucrin FOR dbtable-string NO INTERVALS..
Then use below code :-
CONSTANTS :c_txt(4) TYPE c VALUE '.txt'.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_cucrin-low.
DATA: is_file_tab          TYPE filetable.
DATA: w_default_extension TYPE string VALUE c_txt.
DATA: is_file_line         TYPE file_table.
DATA: w_rc                TYPE i.
CLEAR : is_file_tab,
         is_file_line.
CLEAR: w_rc,
         w_default_extension.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
    EXPORTING
      default_extension       = w_default_extension
      multiselection          = abap_false
    CHANGING
      file_table              = is_file_tab
      rc                      = w_rc
    EXCEPTIONS
      file_open_dialog_failed = 1
      cntl_error              = 2
      error_no_gui            = 3
      not_supported_by_gui    = 4
      OTHERS                  = 5.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
*w_rc will hold number of filepaths probably
    Loop at is_file_tab INTO is_file_line . " This table will hold the filepaths row by row.
MOVE is_file_line-filename TO p_cucrin. " move this as per your requirement to diff fields
ENDLOOP
ENDIF.
Using above code will provide you filepath length as 1024 characters with F4 help option. also multiple values can be provided to filepath selection screen field. Pass the file names to GUI_UPLOAD FM.
Thanks,

File name selection without selecting the extension

It would be more user friendly if selecting a file name in the metadata field "File Name" would only select the name and not the name + extension. You mostly don't change the extension but you do change the file name. Now if I want to rename a file I have to place the cursor between the end of the file name and the dot of the extension (an extra click). If you select a filename in the finder (Os X) only the name is selected. I would like to see Lightroom use the same logic. Thanks!

Elements 8 - How to view images by scrolling thru folder of file names?

After taking a large batch of pictures, I want to place them in a folder and rapidly view the full images one at a time to select which to keep and which to discard. IN PE-8 how can I display two panes - one pane containing the image file names contained in a folder and the other pane which displays the image of the file name selected? Using the arrow keys, I want to move through image file names one at a time while displaying the image associated with the file name in the other pane.

One method of accepting or rejecting is to use star ratings.
Select the first image and press F12 to view full screen. Press the 5 key to add five stars.
Press the right keyboard arrow to move to the next image and star or move on.
When you have finished the batch you can filter by the star rating.

Organise catalog by file name

I wish to organize my catalog by file name not by the metadata from the photo. I am scanning all my slides dating back from 1977 to electronic form and do not wish my 1977 photos to appear as 2014 photos. I use a file name of yyyy/mm/dd followed by shot number to organise my photos but I cannot get the organizer to do this!! I do NOT wish to create albums for my library (I have already done that in their file organisation to begin with!) Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Peter

In version 11 Windows, there is only

How to allow user to select pdf file on local machine and populate field with file name only

Folks,
I have a project requirement that I am stumped on. I am admittedly a novice, so forgive questions that may seem obvious.
My requirement is a form running on a client system where the user can click a button and select a PDF file name from a PDF on their local machine and then populate a form field with that file path & filename. The file names vary between all machines, so there is no static list. Note that the PDF is not embedded, nothing is executed, I simply need the file name.
There are several of these on a form (20+), so manual name entry is too error prone. I would like to use a 'browse' type dialog, but can not figure out how to implement it.
I've looked at app.browseForFile, but the users can not install a javascript file in their adobe folder or any other files; the functionality has to be integral with the original PDF.
Functionally, this is no different from the image object file browse, except that I need a PDF instead of an image file, so there doesn't seem like there should be a security issue that is any different from those surrounding the image object.
I've been stumped on this for the entire week, and I have a deadline rapidly approaching, so any examples or suggestions (please remember I'm a novice) would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply Paul - do you have any sample code of how to attach the PDF? Or how the user can select a PDF to open? I might be able to attach it, retrieve the file name, and then un-attach it.
Alternatively, do you know how to retrieve the file name from the imagePath object? It will let you select PDF files, but I can't find info on how to retrieve the file name. It should be the way you would retrieve the file name for an image.
As a novice in this, thanks for your help and patience!

How to set selected file in FileChooser showSaveDialog to default file name

Hi,
How do I set selected file in JavaFX 2.0 FileChooser showSaveDialog, so I can prompt the user with a suggested default file name?
I am converting a Java Swing application I wrote a few years ago to JavaFX 2.0.
In the Swing application, I use setSelectedFile() as follows:
JFileChooser jFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
jFileChooser.setSelectedFile(new File(backupfile));
jFileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File(outputDirectory));
FileFilter filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("Comma Delimited (*.csv)", "csv");
jFileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);
jFileChooser.setFileFilter(filter);
filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("XML Document (*.xml)", "xml");
jFileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);
jFileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
jFileChooser.setDialogTitle("Export File");
int returnVal = jFileChooser.showDialog(jFrame, "Export");
This would show a file chooser with the file name text field pre-populated with a default backup file name.
I can't find an equivalent in JavaFX.
Also, in the Swing application, I was able to determine which extension filter was selected at run time using getFileFilter().getDescription() as follows:
String extension = jFileChooser.getFileFilter().getDescription();
if (extension.equals("XML Document (*.xml)")) { ...
I can't find an equivalent in JavaFX.
Thanks,
Barry

You can use the open sequence file method on the application manager (then you only need to wire the file path)

File name should change by selecting the radio buttons

Hi all,
PARAMETERs: p_file LIKE rlgrap-filename.
PARAMETERS: p_app RADIOBUTTON GROUP rg DEFAULT 'X',

Selection of Folder/File name using the same Fun.Module

Please let me know if there is a function module which can fetch folder name/File name from the directory path when f4 option of selection screen field is selected. Currently I am able to get the file name using FM F4_DXFILENAME_4_DYNP but the requirment is like I have to select either folder name or the file name depending on user selection.
Note: Please let me know if there is a single Function module which can get folder name or the file name based on the user selection.i.e, if the user want to select a folder he can select or he can select files in the folder for processing

LabVIEW 2011 file selection fails to fill in the file name into the "File name:" field

In LV2011 I am selecting a text file while my code is running. The "file name:" field is not populated with the selected file name.
This is inconvenient, especially if I want to modify a file name by one or some few characters.
How do i make LV 2011 behave like the previous versions?

Thank you fot your reply it causd me to find the problem.
I figured it out while I was trying to extract the applicable section of my code to send it to you.
I had an asterisc wired to the "default name" input of the "File dialog" VI.
Now I am not wiring anything to the "default name" input of the "File dialog" VI and it works just fine.
I am sorry for your lost time.

Selecting a list of files and creating a list of only the file names?

Hopefully this is an easy question, one that I can't seem to figure out. I have a folder of photos and I would like to select all their file names and create a text list of just the file names. Every time I try I select the photos themselves and when pasted into my text document all of a sudden I have a lot of images. Any advice on how to do this? Thanks Jeff

You're part way there. Do this in TextEdit. Open a new document, CMDSHIFTT to put it into plain text format, paste in the contents of your photo folder, and be surprised when only the names get pasted and not the images. If you want them in alphabetical order, change the photo folders view to list and click on the name column before copying.

How to get the file name dialog on the selection screen

Tabular form - field to open explorer select file name to same in field

Does anyone know how to do that

Not only does APEX not provide support for file browse items in tabular forms (which are horrible anyway; even more so with an ugly file picker in every row), but file path information is not available in standard browser configurations (or at all in most browsers). As has been noted in many previous threads on this topic:
>
For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. Firefox, Safari and Chrome only provide the filename. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8+ and Opera have adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\"—and this monstrosity has sadly had to be enshrined in the HTML5 spec...
Changing IE's security config setting "Include local directory path when uploading files" enables the path to be exposed in IE, but unless you're working in an intranet environment where: IE is the only browser used; it's possible to make remote changes to this setting on every desktop; and this won't break/expose anything else, then trying to achieve this is pointless.

Go right back to the start and explain what this is all about. We need to know what the ultimate goal is in order to determine what use—if any—can be made of APEX here.
