File paths etc in Aperture
I don't have Aperture, but am curious to know whether it's possible to get it to import / store RAW files in one location (on an external hard drive for example), but automatically store corresponding JPEG / TIFF files in another location (e.g. Mac hard drive). I only have a small hard drive on the Mac and so am trying to manage this whilst still having access to all the images even if I don't have the external hard drive with me...
You should certainly look into using Aperture with Referenced Originals. You store all (or as many as you want) of your imported files on your external drive, but keep the Aperture Library on your system drive. You need to have the external drive mounted, and the Originals on-line, in order to make adjustments to your Images and to print them or export full size files, but when your Originals are off-line you can still assign and change metadata, organize the Images in your Library, and export the Previews. This is the standard configuration for anyone with a laptop or any machine for which the system drive doesn't provide enough storage space for the imported-into-Aperture files.
Read this section on the linked page in the User Manual for some more information:
What Are Managed Images and Referenced Images?
You might also find my short introduction to the parts of Aperture helpful in making your decision.

System information - create date, file paths, etc
How do I add system information to the master page of a form so that I can see the create date, last
updated, page numbers and file path information and have it printed on the bottom of each page?You can access the Doc object that is exposed in the Acrobat JavaScript API.
For example,
var doc = event.target;
xfa.host.messageBox("Author " + doc.author + " Created date " + doc.creationDate + " File path " + doc.URL);

Aperture using 3 week old file paths for referenced files after Rebuild
I recently had major problems with some Nikon D60 files (the referenced files switched original files). I had to re-import everything a start again. Having sorted everything out, I then relocated the files with new files names (thinking that the original file names may have caused the problems).
This was 3 weeks ago. However, when I Rebuilt the library today, these renamed images went offline because Aperture has kept the original file paths (with the original names).
Does anyone know how to update file paths to the current ones? (rather than some random previous one).Thanks for the reply. I will check out the links.
I should have mentioned that all renaming/moving of files was done from within Aperture. Aperture is not updating its own file paths.
The process is this. Having moved/renamed the images (using Aperture's Relocate Masters) I am able to use the software, close it down, restart etc and the images will be found correctly with few/no 'lost' images. It is when I use 'Rebuild' that the file paths revert to an old, previously used version that is no longer valid. It is as though there are two preference files, each with a different file path information. There was a post sometime ago that mentioned using Terminal commands to force Aperture to update to the correct files paths/directories. I haven't been able to find the post yet though.
These particular files (Nikon D60) are not from my own camera so I am not sure why I have had such an issue. Normally I am using a Canon 5D MK2 or a Phaseone digital back. However, even with my own equipment I do regularly have to 'Reconnect' one or two image files that have become lost which is annoying. So I am keen to get to the bottom of this issue. -
If anyone can help me with this I would be seriously grateful.
When exporting mutliple files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might make 524 pages but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture and its persmission and am using the latest version of 3.
I have 3600 images which I need to upload as sublfolders, each with their own URL and at the moment Aperture is dropping of anything from 1 to 90 images.
This is critical as people need to see each and every on of these images online. So if a file has 600 photos in it, Aperture should make a URL with 600 full image pages. And this is what it's not doing. On small files, say 30 or so it seems to work well, it's when it gets to more than that the problem starts.
I've used Aperture in the past under previous versions and not had this problem.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Bob.Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems. -
Is there anyway to show the file path for referenced images? I know I could use "show in finder", but that's rather tedious and not possible at all when my external drive is not connected.
I have a lot of images with the same name in my archives, and if I could see where they are located it would be easier to differentiate them and delete the ones I don't need anymore.
I could do this easily when I was using iView, but I don't see anyway to do it in AP.
Thanks,

Did yoy try "*Manage referenced images*"?
Yes, I tried that and it does show the path, but I can't rank the images, add keywords, delete them, etc, when that window is open. So it's not much better than "show in finder", even though it does show the path when the drive is disconnected.
With iView I can see the complete path at the top of my window regardless of whether I'm in List, Thumbnail, or Media view. I can also determine the path by looking in the folder pane on the left. If the drive containing the images is not connected, it still shows all this info with a message "original media file not available". I was hoping Aperture could do something similar.
Thanks,

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). -
[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...
Here are some command line outputs.

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. -
Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from?
I have about 65000 music files that i have transferrd from my external to a new laptop internal HD.
I have organised the folders myself as I use a PC and do not want itunes to organise the folders because when I'm searching through music on windows it is sorted out by artists/albums with 'the...(eg The Beatles)' under 'T' instead of 'B'.
Long story short.... Is there any way that I can keep my itunes library as it is on the external HD and copy it to the new laptops C drive, keep all the info (playlists etc) and still have the same folder structure as on the external HD?
Or, is there any way of making windows sort things in alphabetical order like it is in itunes (eliminating the 'the' issue)?The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

File path too long when collecting??...
Hi all,
REALLY hope someone has some wisdom on this! I've searched forums and the web and not yet found an answer....
I've got a MASSIVE project on an external drive that's on the way out, so I want to collect the project that's on it to another new healthy drive. The current file structure leaves alot to be desired (several years of updating the same project and splitting it into managable portions then importing them back together several times, files still on there that aren't in use in AE anymore but have been kept 'incase we need them again later', etc...you can imagine the mess!)
SO, I'm getting the 'file path too long' error when trying to collect it. Now, I could manually go through every folder and sub folder and tidy things up within AE - this would days about a week I reckon! - but I'll do it if that's the only way. What I'm wondering is this: -
A) is the problem AE is having with the deep structure *WITHIN* ae project, or with the actual folders/files on the disk itself?
B) if I tidy it up in AE only will that fix it?
C) is there an easier way to do this rather than manually going through everything and looking for the offenders???
Thanks guys,
Jim.GULP....so I have to reorganise my assets OUTSIDE of AE and then relink it all WITHIN AE afterwards?? With 3 x 430GB projects and thousands of assets that is going to take a looooooooonng time.
What I don't understand (or like) is how AE will let you get this far without any warning and still operate/save, etc but then when you come to collect is goes 'urr urrrr, computer says no'.
Is there really no way of automating some of this then? I mean even a script that highlighted items in the project that are over the maximum path length would save a hell of a lot of manual searching and counting.
Thanks for your replies guys but.....AAAARRGGHH!!!!! -
File Path adds %20 where there are spaces
Hi Everyone;
I'm trying to track down a problem.
The file path for Program Files folder in the old version of my app presents C:\Program Files\Folder in the DOS console. And the app works.
However, the new version of the app displays the paths in the DOS console like this C:\Program%20Files\Folder
And I get path not found errors.
One of the difference between the 2 apps is the first is using java 1.3.1.02 the second is using jvm 1.4
Does anyone know if 1.4 will do cause this change to happen ?
stevI have found that the problem was with the java version.
I switched from jre 1.4.1 to java 1.3.1 and the problem is resolved
I however, have not pinpointed exactly where in the code causes this different behavior. but if anyone sees something like this in the future, you might want to double check the different behavior between 1.3 and 1.4.
it could be a simple method etc = i haven't looked in the code to identify the exact problem however, cause this is a 3rd party java app. -
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/jMDVIn 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. -
File paths and archiving (and referenced files).
I've come to the stage where I need to start using referenced files (out of disk space on my laptop) and also start archiving projects. One of my plans was to start keeping an off-site backup of all the originals in case something really bad happened. I'm also going to have on-site backup of projects. But for the off-site originals I would like to have some simple way of finding the photos in case something bad happens, my idea was to simply create a PDF from the list view where I could see the photo and the file path to where it's stored (I plan to store them in simple year-month-day hierarchy).
The reason why I'm not going to archive the projects off-site is simply the cost, I did a test yesterday and it looks like just storing the originals would be approx 1/3 in size of the projects.
If someone has a better idea of how to handle this please let me knoeI'll try to explain.
About the cost: Hard disk space is really cheap and I can not see how the cost should be that expensive. This is based on your statement that you still have your images on your laptop and that itself limits the amount of space hence a rather small library.
When it comes to backing up your projects you have several options. First, if you really want to be cheap about hard disk space (I think you should not since your images really are priceless) you can export projects of your referenced images and not consolidate the images into the exported project. Not to consolidate vs. consolidate images on export really makes a difference in the exported project size. On the other hand, not consolidate images on export of a project makes you back up your images separately, which leads to more work.
My advice is then; buy two disks (preferable three disks), and export your projects with the images consolidated into one of them and start using the other one with your referenced images.
I always advice users to have their images in at least three different locations and IMHO the ideal solution for you would be to have your images referenced on one disk and mirrored backups on the other two disks, either one stored in two different locations in case of burglary, fire etc.

How to cffileupload and store file paths in a database?
I'm using CF 9 and have multi-file uploading working. What I need help with is a help desk type page that will display the filenames with links to the files that are uploaded with the form that a user submits. When I view an admin page, I need to see the email form results with a list of the files uploaded and links to where they are.
Any ideas on how I can get an admin page to display only the files associated with each form submission? I'm assuming that I need to find a method of stroring each uploaded file path to a database but I don't know how to do that. Any help would be appreciated. ThanksYou could proceed as follows:
1) Create a database table named uploadedFile. The columns could be, for example,
upload_id: INT, autoincrement, primary key
datetimecreated: DATETIME
serverfile: VARCHAR(50)
serverdirectory: VARCHAR(30)
2) Do your multi-upload, for example,
myMultiUploader.cfm
<cffileupload url="myUploadFiles.cfm" width="600" ... etc>
myUploadFiles.cfm
<cffile action = "uploadAll" destination = "c:\myUploads" nameConflict = "overwrite">
<!--- This is where your question gets answered --->
<!--- All the information about each uploaded file is stored in the cffile structure. ColdFusion creates one cffile struct for each and every file you upload in a single upload round --->
<!--- Save the information about each file to the database. The back slash \ often serves the purpose of an escape character. So I've replaced it with the forward slash / in the file path. --->
<cfquery name="saveUploadInfo" datasource="myDSN">
insert into uploadedfile (datetimecreated, serverdirectory, serverfile)
values (#cffile.timecreated#, '#replace(cffile.serverdirectory,"\","/","all")#', '#cffile.serverfile#')
</cfquery>
<!--- You could in fact log (and review) all the upload data by means of the following --->
<!--- <cflog file="uploadData" text="#serializeJson(cffile)#"> ---> -
Hello!
I'm currently involved with a project that requires analysis of images from several hundred stations along the Alaskan seafloor. Each station has three top down (PV) images of the seafloor taken and three images (SPI) that are taken below the seafloor (it's pretty cool).
It is often necessary to compare the SPI and PV images side by side in order to make a proper assessment of the seafloor at each station. I find myself opening the SPI images most often and then needing to dig around in the PV folder to find the appropriate image pairings. This can be time consuming so I've decided to write a script that will query my active document for a name and path and then use that information automatically open up its counterpart.
I'm close to getting it working but I keep returning an error that says "error opening NaN/PV/CH_PV_Analysis/CH-14B1-PV-41-a.psd".
The error returns a perfect file path from "/PV/" onward but for some reasons begins the path with "NaN" when it should pull my file path. Why is this? I'm using the same line of code for another automation script on this project and can't seem to figure out why it's behaving differently here.
I should mention as well that I'm accessing the files via a server.
My code looks like this:
// call the current document
var srcDoc = app.activeDocument;
// ask user input for PV replicate letter
var repLetter =prompt("Which PV replicate would you like to open? (A.. B.. C.. etc.)");
// get the info out of the source doc
var fileName = srcDoc.name;
var docName = fileName.substring(0,fileName.length -4);
var filePath = srcDoc.path.toString();
var fileExt = fileName.substring(fileName.length -4, fileName.length);
var nameCheck = fileName.substring(0,fileName.indexOf("CH-14B1-SPI-"));
if (nameCheck <1)
var fileNum = fileName.substring(12,fileName.length -5) + repLetter;
// no underscore so we need to open it's namesake
// alert(nameCheck)
var filePair = filePath -"/SPI/CH_SPI_Analysis/" + "/PV/CH_PV_Analysis/" + "CH-14B1-SPI-PV-" + fileNum + fileExt;
openThisFile(filePair)
function openThisFile(masterFileNameAndPath)
var fileRef = new File(masterFileNameAndPath)
if (fileRef.exists)
//open that doc
app.open(fileRef);
else
alert("error opening " + masterFileNameAndPath)var filePair = filePath -"/SPI/CH_SPI_Analysis/"
should probably be
var filePair = filePath + "/SPI/CH_SPI_Analysis/" -
Take Source file path in sender adapter from an environment variable .
Hi,
Is it possible to take source file path(half file path) dynamically in sender file adapter.
Please suggest any alternative to this.Hi,
One option, use Dynamic Configuration and set the values in the Mapping.
By the ways, the File Directory and the Filename are taken runtime in the file adapters after transportation.
Only if you are using FTP will you need to key in the FTP addess user id password etc.
Refer -- same way try for File adapter
Dynamic Configuration of Some Communication Channel Parameters using Message Mapping
Ps Note : I have personally never tried it to use the Dynamic Configuration for file path. But you can try.
Thanks
