File properties library?
Hello,
I've got a directory with a number of shortcuts to websites.
Is there any java library I could use to examine the properties of such a shortcut file and pull out the
URL that the shortcut is pointing to?
What I'd like to have is to generate 1 html file with all the links in it.
Can you guys offer any suggestions?
-Rob
I couldn't resist, here is mozilla

How to access iPhone "Photo Library" to get image file properties?
I want to access iPhone "Photo Library" to get image file properties(name, list etc..) without dialog.
Is there any suitable method/class to this?Allan,
Thank you for your reply!
My purpose is access to "Photo Library" by iPhone API.
Because, I know several iPhone application which has own image list and the list is synced to "Photo Library".
If I take photo by iPhone native camera, the taken photo is listed up on the image list so I guess those applications can access to "Photo Library" directly.
Or.. any other solution..?

File Browser, properties, library window will not show up
I'm using an old version of Motion 3 and my File Browser, properties, library window will not show up even when I click on the icons and/or press command+2,3, or 4 . Seems to be some kind of settings glitch as Motion works fine when logged in under another user. Any thoughts.
schlickler,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
but now I have the preferences folder on my desktop--does that have to stay there?
No, it can be trashed.
Plist files contain instructions for recording and executing tasks associated with the the application or function that owns them. They can and do become corrupted. If you look in the username/Library/Preferences Folder you can usually guess what application or function the .plist serves by analyzing the file name. In this case it was the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
Proper identification of the appropriate .plist file is not always so obvious. When an application malfunctions, removing the associated .plist file from the preferences folder to the Desktop is often the easiest first troubleshooting step. Then log out/in or restart and re-evaluate the performance of the application.
A new default .plist file is automatically created in your Preferences Folder after you remove the recalcitrant .plist and initiate the log out/in restart sequence. You can expect default application behavior and you will have to reset some preferences. If the application or function returns to normal after removing the .plist file, it will prove that the original file was corrupt, and you can now safely trash the .plist file which you placed on the Desktop.
If the application or function is unsatisfactory with the new plist file, the original plist file which was placed on the Desktop can be safely returned to the preferences folder. Just allow the system to replace the newer plist.
If you are having problems with any aspect of OS X, experiment with deleting the appropriate .plist file. Plist corruption is not uncommon and .plist file deletion often cures many problems. Too many users try intricate solutions first and end up complicating their minor problem.

File properties: mysterious dates for created, modified and last opened
I've seen this ever since I started using my Mac - I am a relatively new Mac user (a year or more vs. well, decades on Win/PC).
Finder: click on a file and it will show its properties. It will have a "More info" button.
The dates displayed between the 2 above are different.
1) In the "immediate" display it would say something like:
Last opened: Today at 10PM
- this wrong day, "correct" time
- considering that it will display this at say 7AM "today"...well, it's a "future" date/time
2) If you click the More info button, the "truth" comes out
Last opened: Yesterday at 10PM (accurate)
Never really cared, but thought I'd ask here. At some point, if I start some development on the Mac, and filesystems, file properties are involved, this will obviously be an issue. I don't even know if this affects file searching based on these properties - again, new user, using Mac for very specific purpose, but usage is definitely on the rise, so I'd like to get some direction on very basic OS behavior like this fully understood.
Thanks and happy new year to all!EdSF wrote:
Thanks VK. I'm the only user.
Can you please clarify on what user accounts have to do with this behavior?
I've seen many times when corrupt date settings in the global user preference file cause wrong modified dates to be displayed in finder. in that case if you make a different user they will be displayed correctly. the file in question is ~/library/preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist.
It's ok to be technical in your response....if it goes over my head, I'll be frank and ask for clarification....
- Is it a user-defined preference/setting?
- It's almost like a busted UTC/time zone routine (somehow "TODAY" is UTC, but the time value doesn't match) re: 10PM last night on PT is/was "today" in UTC.... -
Script to enumerate, and interactively modify File Properties (eg. meta-data)
Hey Script Guys:
I am analyzing SharePoint capabilities for a customer and there are some things that they need that is not there, but so far it seems it is but can't be seen.
First two things are:
'Stored Procedures' - That is a way from within a rule or workflow to interact with an interpretive host. Right now I use REXX, which has the INTERPRET function. I can write a script into a text element, send it there, and get the results. Handy,
but rough. This is especially handy in validation situations, or re-mapping of data.
A way for metadata to be plugged into a file easily without using the Properties dialog (like read it from document fields, etc) so the Content Routing can be cleaned-up to be more fully automated.
Bear in mind I grew-up on Motorola Assembler, BAL and MASM to develop ASIC's, process controllers, operating systems and compilers, so alot of this shell programming is still a little weird. Be nice
JgEarl (FOG) sends...File properties in WIndows are not part of the file. Some are part of the directory entry like the LastWriteTime and ReadOnly flag.
In Windows Explorer file properties like the internal properties of an MSWord document or an Adobe PDF file can be exposed if the vendor provides a support DLL that Explorer can use to expose these. They are not normally available to any program directly.
They are only available via the "Shell" (Explorer) or via the application that manages the document.
In SharePoint the "library" or other container manages a set or properties defined by SharePoint. For MS documents we may be able to use "shell" methods to tattoo the SharePoint library with this information.
None of this has much of anything to do with scripting. It is e3xternal to the scripting system and can be accessed by the product specific support DLL such as the dll installed by MSWord and Adobe.
To access these things through the shell in script we must instantiate the "Shell" object. In SharePoint we can do this prior to loading the document or we can load documetns that Sharepointas nan installed DLL for.
At this time I am not sure as to how SP does this. I recommend posting in the SharePoint developer forum for information on how to access and build these extensions DLLs. I believe you can also look it up in the SharePoint SDK.
Outside of serverside code or using a custom library I do not see how you can do this.
You can, of course, always generate a file of name/value pairs describing your files. You can also add almost anything to the SharePoint library structure or create custom types to display your custom metadata.

Unable to rotate downloaded photos- missing file properties
I copied/pasted my photos from Windows Explorer. I tried rotating the pictures to the correct position, however it throws an error indicating that the picture contains missing file properties. Has anyone encountered the same thing? How can you fix it?
BTW, Using iphone 4S with iOS 5. Never had any issues with my 3GS.Well that message is a Finder error.
As to the iPhoto problem:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair library permissions.

Can anyone help me with this problem. I tried updating the latest itunes and it caused an error MSVCR80.dll missing. I then tried fixing it after reading other people had the same problem and a solution was given about uninstaling itunes and the order in which to do that. I did that but now get the error "the files "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of itunes. I see a solution has been given about this but I cannot find what is suggested to enable me to follow instructions. Can anyone please go through step by step (letting me know where I can find what is needed) to enable me to be able tio log into itues again. Thanks
Hi pussygalore,
If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may find the following article helpful:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
You may want to make sure that in the last step (reinstalling iTunes) that you are installing the latest/newest available version, and not attempting a reinstall from an older file.
Regards,

I just installed iTunes on my new laptop. When I click on the desktop icon I receive a pop up that says "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". I have no idea what this means or what to do about it. I can't even find a file on my computer like the one referred to in the pop up. I am currently considering keeping my old laptop if it is the only way for me to continue to access iTunes. What should I do to fix this?
What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future. -
File Properties: Document Kind... Where Does it Come From?
In Bridge's metadata subsection "File Properties", what exactly
is "Document Kind"? Is it synonymous with the file's mime type?
I've read through Adobe's XMP specification document (http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xmp/sdk/index.html) and I've seen many of Adobe's XMP schemas and data elements defined there, but I can't find where "Document Kind" is defined.
The closest I come is page 39 where the XMP specification notes that the dublin core schema has a property called "format" with a value of "MIMEType". Is "dc:format" synonymous with "file properties: document kind"?
Thanks for any help.dont mind but please tell me how do u communicate with computer ports...

I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop. The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places. I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer. Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works. I've tried both ways over and over. Cannot figure out what the problem is. I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all. Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong? My OS is Windows 7, using IE9. Thanks.
ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE: I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes. The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

I cannot open itunes. Getting error message: "the file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
What do I need to do so I dont lose all my loaded music, etc.?
ThanksIf you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...
•Apple - Support - iTunes - install & update:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/install/
•Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2311
Good luck & happy computing!
ps: i see you resolved this issue. it's magic! -
I receive the message: The file "iTunes library.itl"cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I do not know exactly what this means. I have Windows 7 on my computer and was able access itunes until just recently. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes multiple times and that does not work. Sometimes I can get in when immediately after installing, but then if I close it, i cannot get back in. Now, i can't get in at all.
That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Hi. I need some help on the following problem. I opened iPhoto and, suddenly, it tells me " WHAT IPHOTO LIBRARY DO I WANT TO USE?" but i had a iPhoto library. When i search on my Pictures, i have the file IPHOTO LIBRARY but is was not the icon on it i previously remembered and it appears on a dim letters and it can not be opened ... How can i recover it??
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
