File size (not size on the disk)

It seems to me that the file-info subVI (or getfilesize for labview 8) gives the size of the file on the disk, not the real size. Did anyone investigate this issue? If, so, and the size is the one on the disk, do you have any suggestion for the real size (except going to the end with seek and retrieve the offset). Windows properties windows contains this info, so it's probably possible to have it without opening the file.
thanks for your comments and replies

Well I use LabVIEW 7.1.1 on WinXP and both "fill/dir size" and [open+get end of File+close] returns the same size in bytes and this size is the real size and not the size on disk...
PS : the file I tested was a LabVIEW VI...

  • How do I show file size in the Finder icon view for images?

    How can I add the file size to the icon view "File Info" for images?
    I know how to get it to display the image size under View Options. In this mode it shows pixel dimensions for some images (not for svg or pdfs tho) and file size for some non-images (rar, zip, but not txt or plain text files).
    Is there some plist I can modify?

  • What is the actual file size for the iphone 4s update - 55.5 mb's or 832 mb's

    Can someone tell me the actual file size of the new update for the iphone 4s On my iphone it is telling me it is 55.5 mbs but when I try to download the file thru i tunes it twlls me it is 830 odd mb's.
    Thanks, michael.

    I suspect if you update wirelessly you are just downloading a "delta" updater whereas downloading through iTunes you are downloading the entire replacement firmware. Wirelessly updating does not take nearly as long for the download nor does it require completely erasing then restoring the device.

  • Why do copied files show different file sizes than the original files?

    When I copy files (to another drive, folder, etc.) some show the same file size as the original, but others don't.
    I'm guessing this is not abnormal, but what causes it?
    Thanks.

    Hi dymar,
    Copying to another Drive is understandable, they may have a differentnumber of Blocks allocated per file, for insnce a one Byte file might take up 512 bytes, 1024 Bytes, etc, but a Get info should show the actual size of the file within that/those blocks.
    If copying to another Format, like MS-DOS, Forks may be lost also.

  • The license file will not be written to disk...

    I keep having to write the serial number and user information when I run Final Cut Pro and any other Final Cut Studio apps.
    It says: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges.
    So everytime I open a final cut studio program I am asked for this information again before running.
    This is REALY annoying. I tried reinstalling, and it wouldn't help.

  • The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. The disk could not be read from...

    Screenshot of error message: http://i49.tinypic.com/2ecp3sw.jpg
    I tried deleting my library file and starting over with a new library, reimporting my music. Then, once again, I get this message:
    "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. The disk could not be read from or written to." with a checkbox that asks if I would like not to be warned of this again.
    Information that might be relevant:
    My iTunes files (everything but the application file) is located on my external HD (formatted for mac and has only been used on macs) and is connected via USB.
    The external HD makes noises whenever it tries to save the library file, so it's obviously trying to write to the HD.
    The iTunes folder creates a temporary file every single time this happens, but it is gone once the error comes up.
    None of this happened (after reimporting my music to the new library) until I turned Genius on. Turning Genius off and deleting the Genius file hasn't stopped it, either.

    ok--same scenario but

  • Air 3.9 for iOS - Increased file size of the executable?

    Hi,
    I've just exported a new release of my app with the new Air 3.9 SDK.
    I've discovered that the file size of the .ipa is increased of 9MB (before it was 30, now it's 39...)
    Looking into the Payload, I've found that the exutable itself is increased from 7 MB to 30 MB...
    Is that possibile? Or am I doing something wrong?
    I'm on FLEX SDK,
    This is the adt command line (part of it):

        ipa-app-store
        -hideAneLibSymbols
        yes
        -storetype
        pkcs12
    This is the compiler arguments:

    I would like to add that, packaging in -XVerbose mode, I found that some frameworks have been added to the package like MapKit. I'm using some ANEs, but none of them uses a MapKit framework.
    Anyone know which are the frameworks actually being embedded inside the iOS packaging?
    Thanks

    The full error is:  There was an error opening this document.  The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved.
    I didn't think Reader had a size limit?  The file is only a couple of hundred MB.
    Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this error?

    Is that an online document, or a local one?

    Be sure you have enought disk space before installing (see install guide). Add disk space if you need more.

    Well, running on a 2006 model.  I did not have a startup disc.  Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006.  Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set.  And, since then I think I popped it up to lion. 
    All I have on a disc is snow leopard.  And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive.  I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now.  We'll see what they tell me .  I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
    Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff.  So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc.  we'll see if they can recover.  If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system.  Just not sure at this point.

  • How to solve "this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed"?

    Hi all,
    I've just started using a new computer with WIndows 8.1 within the last week and have loaded my Adobe Premiere Elements 11.0 software into it.
    In trying to view and edit a video I created on my old computer, I got "Media Pending" and "Media Offline" notices as soon as I began. The source files are located on an external drive with a permanent letter designation. I began the process of reconnecting my Project Assets files with the source files this morning, but have now encountered a new roadblock. Each time I try, I get the message "this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed." It offers no information or options other than to click "OK," which is not very helpful.
    All the source files are located in one folder on my external drive. I have been able to reconnect the JPEGs and the mp3 source files but not the AVI video files.
    Here are three screenshots. The first is the "Media Offline" message, the second is the message I receive when I try to reconnect my Project Assets to the source files and the third is a screenshot of the codecs installed on the new computer.
    Here is my new computer information:
    Model: Del Inspiron 3847
    Intel Core i5-4460
    CPU @ 3.20 GHz  3.20 GHz
    RAM 8 GB
    System type: 64-bit, x64-based processor
    I hope someone can guide me. What do I need to do to solve this problem?
    Thank you.

    Thank your for the information supplied.
    But, what are the properties of this .avi file that you seek?
    Video Compression
    Audio Compression
    Frame Size
    Frame Rate
    Interlaced or Progressive
    Pixel Aspect Ratio
    Right now of prime interest is the video compression that is being wrapped by that AVI wrapper/container.
    AVCHD.avi
    MotionJPEG.avi
    XviD.avi
    DviX.avi
    other
    There are instances were a particular video compression or a particular container/wrapper format is each supported by Premiere Elements, but
    not a combo of those particular two. But, in this instance, I suspect this to be a MotionJPEG video codec issue, but your details will
    point us to the actual situation, and we will plan troubleshooting strategy from there.
