File Path Missing

I cant relocate my original files because the file path is missing all together. The path is replaced by a singe dot (.).
This has happend to alot of my pictures. I have tried to both reapir and rebuild the library. Nothing works. Anyone have a ide of whats gone wrong and how to resolve it?
Screen shot:
http://d.pr/i/jMDV

In the screen shot, the path "Volume: Photos/• Digital/Berlin Feb 2012/IMG_1588.CR2" is right, but the original path is the same just that the Volume is "Media".
But still, the "•" in front is puzzling; my locate referenced files screen is looking like this:
No special characters in front of the path - or is the "•" part of the pathname?
Your NAS a network volume, right? The left part of the "Locate Referenced Files" window should show the status of the volume. Does it show as online or offline?
I suspect, that Aperture has problems with special characters in the folder or filenames and cannot interpret the pathes correctly, i.e., if the formatting of your drive is not MacOS X extended.

Missing Photographs - 5,000 in total - is there a programmatic way to get the complete file paths missing?

HostOS : Mac OS X
LightRoom version : 4.4
I accidentally moved linked files over the past few years, and just discovered (via "Missing Photos" view) that I have 5,000 missing photos.
I know the master photos are on my hard disk drive ... so, that is the good news.
BUT I do not want to have to click to re-link all 5,000 missing photos one at a time.
Is there a way to programmatically get the list of file paths of those 5,000 missing photos on my MacOSX system -- so that I can write an AppleScript to extract the unique image file name from the full file path extracted from LightRoom, locate the image in Finder, and move it back to the expected file path where Lightroom expects to find it?

If most of your reorganization consisted of moving whole folders rather than individual pics, you can quickly relink entire folders, or even folders of folders, rather than individual pics. In the Folders pane on the left, right-click the missing folder and select Find Missing Folder.
If you moved individual files rather than entire folders, then to get a list of the file paths of all the missing files, first do Library > Find All Missing Photos. Then use the ListView plugin to get a list of the photos' file paths into a text file.

How to Print File Path and File Name at the bottom of the Report?

Hi guys,
I have situation where i have to display my file path where i save my file. For example: U:\Reports\Monthly_Reports\Compay_xyz.jsp
also, after the file path line if its possible i would like to display the date where the last modification done on the file.
I read one of the post and some one suggested that use srw.get_report_name() but since i am a new to Reporting i am not sure how to use it.
Can anyone describe me little bit in detail please?
Thank You.

Hi,
Your logic seems to be fine and you should put it in the additional plsql code section "After displaying the page". But you may have to check you syntax by compiling it. You cannot use "LINEFEED". It should be '<br>'. This is the line break in html. Please check your type declaration. Also some ';' is missing after some statements.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path using any of these perfectly normal methods:
1. double-click file in the Finder (e.g in a Folder on your Mac or on your Mac desktop etc.)
2. select file and choose "File... Open" command-o in the Finder
3. drag file to the application icon in the Finder.
4. Select file in Bridge and double-click, choose File.. Open.. or Drag icon to InDesign icon in dock.
If you try to open an ID file named with a "#", you will get an error message "Missing required parameter 'from' for event 'open.'"
This happens to any InDesign file that has a "#" (pound sign, number sign, or hash) in the filename or in the file path (any parent folder).
To reproduce
Name an InDesign file Test#.idd Try to open it in the Finder or Bridge (as opposed to the "Open" dilaog of InDeisng itself).
"Solution"
The file WILL open using File... Open... command-o while in InDesign application.
Rename the file or folders that have a "#" (shift-3) in the filename.
Report to Adobe if it bugs you.
This does not occur in "plain" Leopard 10.5 nor Tiger 10.4
Untested in Panther or before and
Untested with CS3 and earlier in Snow Leaopard.
Anyone have those and want to try this... ?

In case this really bothers you: we've added a workaround for this into Soxy. If you enable the option, these documents will open fine on double-click.
You need Soxy 1.0.7 from:
http://www.rorohiko.com/soxy
Go to the 'Soxy' - 'Preferences' - 'Other' dialog window, and enable 'Open InDesign via Script'
(Irrelevant background info (it's all invisible to the user): the workaround works by special-casing how Soxy opens documents in InDesign: instead of using AppleScript, Soxy will use ExtendScript to instruct InDesign to open the document - which works fine).

FAQ: My files are missing from the Library, or How to reconnect your images?

What is the Lightroom Library?
The Library module of Lightroom can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media. When you import your images and video into the Library, you are adding information about your files to a catalog. Your files remain on your hard drive where they were, unless you are importing them from a camera, in which case the files are copied to your hard drive to a location of your choosing.
What is a Lightroom catalog?
The catalog is a database that stores information about the files you've imported into Lightroom. When importing a file, the first thing Lightroom does is collect the file's name and location on the hard drive. If the file has any attached compatible metadata, such as keyword tags, these are imported as well. You can use multiple catalogs and your catalogs can be carried forward from version to version.
Why does Lightroom say my files are missing?
Since the catalog database only stores information about your file, and not the file itself, if any of that information is changed outside of Lightroom, the connection to the file is lost. There are three ways this can happen: the file name is changed, the file location is changed, or the file has been deleted. If you need to rename, move, or delete a file, you can do so within the Library module, and then the connection is not lost.
What is Reconnecting?
When a file has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the catalog database needs to be updated with that new information. The Reconnection process allows you to point out a file's new name, it's new location, or to delete the database entry on your file if the file no longer exists on your hard drive.

Dude! Where are my photos?

Similar happened to me when i moved my iTunes library from XP to Win 8.1. Apps were in iTunes but would not sync to iPhone - could not find oritinal file. Win Xp and 8.1 have different file paths for My Documents and My Music. Locate the folder within iTunes called Mobile Applications. It should have a file with an IPA extension for each application. Add that folder to library. That will refresh the iTunes database so that it knows where to find the apps. I had to do that to my entire library (music, podcasts, etc)

[SOLVED] Can't boot Windows 8 using grub2. invalid EFI file path

English is not my native language. Please excuse typing errors.
I have just successfully installed Arch linux with grub2 as its boot manager. I
followed the arch beginner guide. I've used grub before and I'm familiar with
it, so chose to use grub instead for efistub. I installed os-prober and
ran grub-mkconfig to create the grub.cfg file. The problem now is that I recieve
an error when I try to boot windows 8. I have two drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb)
and I believe both are EFI-systems.
However, it's not very important for me to use grub, so if booting into windows
8 is easier using efistub, I will try that.
The computer is ASUS ux32vd with a hybrid disk with 25GB on the SSD and 500GB on
the hard drive. I believe the SSD part is used by Windows.
This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
error: can't find command `drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI file path.
Press any key to continue...
Then I tried to follow this post
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
error: unspecified search type.
error: file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found
Press any key to continue...

EDIT:
I gave up trying to make grub work, so I uninstalled grub and deleted all the grub files I could find.
# pacrem grub-efi-x86_64
# rm -fr /boot/grub
That last one I came to regret later on. So I installed rEFInd using the archlinux beginners guide. When I then tried to boot into windows It told me that /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod was not found. I then reinstalled grub-efi-x86_64 and copied /usr/lib/grub/x86_64 to /boot/grub. Now everything works fine.

The EFI stub loader is a Linux-only boot loader; however, it is possible to use the EFI stub loader in conjunction with a separate boot manager, such as rEFInd or gummiboot. In such a configuration, you'd use the boot manager to select the OS to boot (Windows or Linux, and possibly the specific Linux kernel), and the boot loader (the Windows loader or the EFI stub loader built into a specific kernel) will then take over booting the OS. In Arch, this is often easier to configure than is GRUB, since GRUB is very complex and its automated tools to help with setting things up often get it wrong.
This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
error: can't find command `drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI file path.
Press any key to continue...
The "drivemap" command in GRUB is generally used when booting a BIOS-mode boot loader, and in fact your "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" and "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda4)" GRUB entries are both built as for BIOS-mode Windows installations -- but the fact that your disks both use GPT means that Windows won't boot in BIOS mode on your computer. (This is one of the many things that the GRUB setup scripts can get wrong.)
Then I tried to follow this post
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
error: unspecified search type.
error: file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found
Press any key to continue...
Both your "Windows 8" and "Windows 82" entries refer to an EFI boot loader file called EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi on your EFI System Partition (ESP). This should be correct, but your Boot Info Script output doesn't show any evidence of such a file. Sometimes Boot Info Script misses such things, so you may want to check it just to be sure. Your ESP is /dev/sda1, and it looks like it's being mounted at /boot/efi by default, so check for the /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft directory tree, and for /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi in particular. If that file isn't present, then something is wrong -- perhaps you mistakenly erased the ESP when you installed Linux, thus wiping out the Windows boot loader; or perhaps the file was accidentally deleted somewhere along the way. (Note that on FAT, which the ESP uses, case is irrelevant, and in fact case varies between the filenames reported by Boot Info Script and what's recorded in your configuration files.)
You do have another boot loader file that may be a duplicate of the Windows boot loader: EFI/BOOT/bkpbootx64.efi. This filename is generally created by Ubuntu's "Boot Repair" tool, which IMHO can do as much harm as good, especially on a system that's not booting Ubuntu. If you ran this tool, though, it's conceivable that bkpbootx64.efi is a copy of the Windows boot loader, so copying it to EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi might get things working. OTOH, the Windows boot loader relies on other files to do its job, so if they're not present, copying the Windows boot loader to its original location won't be sufficient.
If you can't get things working based on the preceding suggestions, I recommend you run a Windows repair tool. These are accessible from a Windows recovery disc. Such disc images are readily available on the Internet, but I don't happen to have any links handy. Try Microsoft's own site; images obtained from random third-party sites might contain malware. Once you've done this, chances are the computer will boot directly into Windows. You'll then need to either restore GRUB as the default boot loader or install another boot loader or boot manager. You can use the Windows "bcdedit" command to do the former, as in:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\arch-grub\grubx64.efi
You'll need to type this from an Administrator Command Prompt window.

External hard drive -- old file path from a previous laptop is still where to find my songs, how do I change?

My iTunes library is a mess, it is stored on an external hard drive. My old laptop died unexpectedly and I didn't have a problem resetting the file path for the library on my new laptop. The other day my son was trying to update his iPod when I wasn't home and I don't know what he did.... GRRRR Any songs I purchased on my old laptop are now not able to be found. When I click on 'get info' on a song it shows the old file path from the old laptop. Songs that I purchased since the new laptop are still playable and great. I know my songs are still there but I can't seem to get the file path to reset on the old music. HELP!!! PLEASE

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or an external drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Is there a way to locate file path of a font used in text layer?

I delivered a file to a client and there is a missing text layer dependency.
I thought I delivered the correct font for the text layer but there is an issue somewhere...perhaps multiple versions of the font on my system..or slight
difference in the font name. The project loads without the error on my system.
Is there a method within After Effects to obtain a file path for the font I am using? ..or at least a way to get more detailed information
about the font itself?...I mean beyond what is available in the font selection window.
I need to locate the exact font in the exact folder After Effects is pulling it from.

even better..I did a search within Fontbook for comparable file name..as I don't add and remove fonts constantly
and discovered the font and also discovered why there was confusion in AEFX..the font had been generated in
Fontographer and it's file name did not match error prompt or collected file report
that was better than suffering through the 100's of possible results I was getting in Finder. And Fontbook also provided the path to the exact font used...
..feeling a bit silly...but I think this will work.

FIle path between iTunes and music files broken

Somehow I've managed to lose the file path connecting my songs on an external hard drive with iTunes. I've checked the advanced aoptions to make sure that iTunes is pointing to F: (instead of C:) but no dice.
Obviously I can go through and reconnect them all individually but for 16,000 songs that's not an option. I also don't want to reload the song files (by opening them directly from the drive) and lose all my play count information.
I've had this happen before when upgrading PCs or when the EHD was renamed and been able to fix it but this time nothing seems to work.

Yes it has. I recently changed from laptop to PC and managed to load iTunes on PC, copy across playcount and album artwork information and have the EHD connected and showing the correct pathways. Everything was working fine for about 3 days. When launching iTunes a couple of days ago, it asked me to go through the setup screens again (which I did) and since then the file paths have been missing. I've been into the xml file of the iTunes library and it shows everything pointing to the default c: drive location. This may be because I read that consolidating the library (under the advanced tab) would help but it didn't.

Issue with Applications, file paths, mobile accounts in snow Leopard OD

Hello Everyone,
The Facts:
2 x Xserves running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Server
(1 is a Open Directory Master, the other a backup/slave)
About 20 end-users running 10.5.8 Leopard and 10 end-users running 10.6.2 Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro laptops.
All laptops are Managed Mobile clients with full administrative privileges/rights for the local drive.
The Issue(s):
Having an odd issue with many applications like Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop etc. not remembering the last used file path and the default network home path showing up instead of the local one.
This issue ONLY appears with the Snow Leopard clients and the Snow Leopard Server. No matter what, the default path will be the enduser's network home path. This leads to endusers constantly having to sync their home folders to get the copy or losing files altogether.
The Leopard clients are unaffected, can save to the local hard drive by default and have no issue "remembering" the last accessed file's path (whether local or on the network).
What gives? What changed? Any thoughts, workarounds, fixes most appreciated.

Okay, I'll rephrase the issue
When the Snow Leopard clients are connected to the network and can connect to the OD Master etc, the default path for saving files to the desktop changes to their network accounts e.g. afp://Server/Users/Enduser/Desktop. If they save a file, it will copy here and then the enduser has to synch to get a copy of the file on their local desktop.
If the client is not connected to the network, no issue. Enduser can save files to the local desktop like normal.
How do we change this such that the enduser can save to the local harddrive first regardless of being connected?
All Snow Leopard Clients are mobile accounts which synch hourly the full profile.
Any further thoughts or similar experiences gang?
Something we could possibly change in the mcx settings perhaps or am a I missing the point?

File path problems between mac and PC

hi
I'm having some issues with file paths, done a lot of searching online, here and on creative cow and no answers to be found (same question asked a few times though).
I'm working on projects on a MAC and then collecting files (project only) to a watch folder on a PC for rendering.
Most of the really big files (.R3D) are located locally on the PC but a few files are on a server.
I can work on them fine on my Mac but when the project comes across to the PC it can find the files located on one of its drives (the same drive as the project source folder) but loses the filepath to the server and to the other internal drive as well.
I have to open the project on the PC and repoint to the missing footage and then save which is a real pain in the #@$% and kind of defeats the purpose of the distributed rendering.
how can I set absolute paths for the PCs from my MAC ????
cheers../daniel

Hey, sorry Mylenium, but this statement is not true. I was almost convinced to give up after reading this, but I managed to make a working conversion tool shortly after.
This is the method in After Effects, I am pretty sure that it can work in the rest of the adobe suite as well.
All you need to do to get the paths to update to windows format is to:
1. Select "Save as xml" and save an .aepx.
2. Open the .aepx in text edit.
3. Perform a find for "/Volumes" and replace with "//<MountPointOnThePC>" (for example I have the drive as a network drive on the pc so I swap the <MountPointOnThePC> to the name of my mac as that is the path on the pc machine)
4. Perform another find for "MacPOSIX" and replace with "Win"
5. Save your file and you will be able to open in on a pc with all the files online.
Disclaimer, I built this to work on my set up using a mac server and a pc render farm for after effects. Please back up your projects before opening them and editing them.
Hope this helps anyone else trying to do the same.

File path lost while importing to RoboHelp

Hi
I am using FM11 and RH10 as part of TCS4.
I have inserted an image in FrameMaker which has the file path Interactivities\First Interactivity\tab1.swf (shown in the screenshot).
When I import to RoboHelp the path is lost.
This is generally not an issue as the file gets imported and published as well.
But in my case, I have three different SWFs named, tab1.swf, tab2,swf, and tab3.swf in three folders First Interactivity, Second Interactivity, and Third Interactivity respectively. The content of all three SWF files are being called from an XML file, which has the same name of tabs.xml. Now, when we publish the RoboHelp file, since all the three SWFs get copied/published to the single folder, that throws all my calls to the XML out of gear.
So, is there a way I can retain the file path when the file is imported?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry, bad choice of words there from my side.
I have a Tab interactivity in SWF fomat. The framework of this is created in Flash in which we are calling the content from XML file. Here is the screenshot of the SWF when the XML file is missing:
Now, when I place the XML file in the required folder, it looks like this:
In your case, you place the Captivate file which is not dependent on other files. That is why you get it right. It is something like inserting an image.

Drag and drop just to extract file path

I'm writing a Cocoa GUI app to facilitate working with a command-line program. The scenario is quite similar to what I see in the Apple FileMerge.app. I'd have a NSView (or a drop pocket of whichever class appropriate) into which I can drag the file icons just in order to retrieve file's path, one by one, no visualization, no checking for file types, just for assembling a list of files to eventually be passed to the data crunching program as command line arguments. I've come across CocoaDragAndDrop sample program, which does great work in displaying dragged picture tiff and pdf files. Probably 90% of the code there is beyond what I need, but the semantics are so unlike anything I've ever come across (I'm miles away from image processing). I can't even figure where to start since everything seems so interconnected. Is there a simplest case example of Drag and drop which only serves file path extraction? From the aforementioned sample code I'm struggling to figure out what is the part which is absolutely needed only to retrieve the path? Do I have to init a [NSImage canInitWIthPasteboard: ... ...] if a file is a plain text file, or a raw data file? The app doesn't need to know what the file is, since passing the absolute path as text argument cannot do any harm in this case - the number crunching command line program takes care of the content. Do I need coders? Do I need a sourceOperationMaskForDragingContext? Does Drag and Drop even cover such trivial demands?
Thanks in advance!
Regards, UU

Thanks for your kind replay. Please let's stay on-topic: my question shouldn't have pointed at if "Apple works like this or like that".
IMHO, it's quit opposite: many things are cut-and-paste compatible, yet I'm missing few basic explanations.
The following code can be derived from the API reference:
#import "DragTView.h"
#import "AppDelegate.h"
@implementation DragTView
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) [self registerForDraggedTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObject:NSFilenamesPboardType]];
    return self;
- (NSDragOperation)draggingEntered:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender{
    highlight=YES;
    [self setNeedsDisplay: YES];
    return NSDragOperationGeneric;
- (void)draggingExited:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender{
    highlight=NO;
    [self setNeedsDisplay: YES];
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect
    [super drawRect:rect];
    if ( highlight ) {
        [[NSColor grayColor] set];
        [NSBezierPath setDefaultLineWidth: 5];
        [NSBezierPath strokeRect: rect];
- (BOOL)prepareForDragOperation:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender {
    highlight=NO;
    [self setNeedsDisplay: YES];
    return YES;
- (BOOL)performDragOperation:(id < NSDraggingInfo >)sender {
    NSArray *draggedFilenames = [[sender draggingPasteboard] propertyListForType:NSFilenamesPboardType];
    NSURL* fileURL;
    NSTextField* pathField = [(AppDelegate*)[[NSApplication sharedApplication] delegate] pathField];
    if (([[[draggedFilenames objectAtIndex:0] pathExtension] isEqual:@"txt"]){
        fileURL=[NSURL URLFromPasteboard: [sender draggingPasteboard]];
        [pathField setStringValue: [fileURL path] ];
        return YES;
    } else return NO;
- (void)concludeDragOperation:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender{
@end
It reveals the file path, yet, it boils down to fifty meaningless lines of code, since the pathField object (of class NSTextField) would itself reveal a dropped file's path without a single extra line of drag-and-drop code. What I find confusing is the following:
How should a drag operation be set up, so a text file can be dragged to the DragTView object (declared as @interface DragView: NSImageView <NSDraggingSource, NSDraggingDestination>), which would than show the image of file's icon (without dragged file itself being an image file)? This is rather unclear in the documentation, with all due respect to Apple.
Thanks in advance.

Session saved correctly, but files are missing from multitrack?

Started a recording last night with multiple wav files. Audition crashed about 2 or 3 times during recordings, but became stable after a while (after continuing the session). When recoring was done, I saved the file and everything seemed to be working correctly and closed the program no files were missing at this point. When I came in this morning, Audition said that some wav files were missing. So i searched all over the computer and temp files but couldn't find a single trace of them. What happened to the files?
More info:
OS: Windows 7
Version: Audition CS6
Temp directory: Default
Last working state: Last night
Non-working state: Morning after (PC went into sleep mode over-night)
Working wav files sequence: Track 1_065.wav , Track 1_066.wav , Track 1_067.wav , etc..
Missing files: Track 1_006_1.wav , Track 1_012.wav , & Track 1_019.wav
Thank You

If Audition crashes the wav files and all are still there when it starts back up. However, if I save it and close, then the wav files are gone . . . nowhere to be found. It seems like Audition is saving them in a temporary folder. According to Audition the clip I need is located here: c:/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/Audition/6.0/<series of numbers and letters>
However, that temp folder apparently is getting deleted as it doesn't exist. I am currently running a Data Recovery program to see if I can get the file back, but it seems like it's not going to find it.
Thank you for explaining exactly what's happening. On the face of it, I suspect that the information Audition had about where the files were supposed to be is getting lost in the crash. It would appear that the recovery data can be relocated correctly, but because it now has no path to save to, it disappears when you try to save it - it would appear that this process gets the save/save as system out of sync completely.
In this situation, almost certainly the best thing to do is to export the re-opened files as a separate action, and don't try using 'save' at all - because that really is going to lose them.
Is it a bug? Not sure. But you really should attempt to find out why your system is crashing Audition, that's for sure...

Can't figure out why FPGA code won't compile, says files are missing

Hey guys, I get the following error, sorry for the big vomit of error code. As near as I can tell from reading that, it thinks a number of the files it requires to run some of the subvi's I'm calling are missing. I don't understand how to fix this when these are LabView native files, for example, the high-throughput rectangular to polar converter?
Help much appreciated.
Error code follows:
Error 7 occurred at Open VI Reference in nirviOpenVIRefByNameOrPath.vi->niFpgaRemapObjsAndListIfUnderXNode.vi->niFpgaRemapObjsHandleXNodeSubErrors.vi->nirviMassageErrorList.vi->nirviParseAndMassageErrors.vi->nirviReloadErrorList.vi->nirviGenerateErrors.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer.

GotRobotFriends,
Hello! First of all, can I get the following information from you?
1.) LabVIEW and LabVIEW FPGA Versions
2.) FPGA Target you are trying to compile code for.
Typically errors 61101 and 61160 are thrown when a Single Cycle Timed Loop (SCTL) has elements within it that won't allow it to finish it's execution in 1 clock cycle.
Looking through the error codes below, do you have any of the following items in a Single Cycle Timed Loop?
High Throughput Rectangular To Polar
Butterworth Filter
Also, are you using xnodes? Problems have been seen when items that would normally return an error when placed in a SCTL do not return errors if they are used with xnodes.
