Saving multiple file types and sizes

I design logos using Illustrator. After the design is approved I need to save it in multiple different file types and sizes. (ie. Jpg Hi, Med, Lo; tif; eps; pdf)
Does anyone know of a script that can do this?
Thanks,
Mark

I don't know of an existing script that does exactly this. You could make one though. Saving an Illustrator document to both 'eps' and 'pdf' formats is very straight forward once you know which options you want. Personally I would use Photoshop to create the required 'jpegs' Illustrator does not export to any given resolution only scaling at 72dpi… Open either the 'eps' or 'pdf' in Photoshop resize and save 3 times.

File Type and Size for Video iPod

I have the latest ipod that does it all, but I am a little concerned about the lack of control on the file type size. I can export a mp4 file with my own settings so it isn't such a large file but it won't load or play. I can convert the file but it makes it the standard file size which is larger than I want it to be. Isn't there a way to save my own settings and still have it play video?
Thanks for any info from anyone.

I want to save a higher and better compression and not such high quality settings as the ipod standards settings are.
You can't.

How to filter the file type and size when uploadind files into APEX

Hi,
I was wondering how I can do to validate the size of a file, before moving it to my table ? I'd like to filter the file type, but for this one, I think I can use regular expressions in a validation process.
I don't know if there is a way to read the file size even before sending it into the temporary file table.
Thank you
Leinad

Hello Leinad,
AFAIK, you have to create an APEX validation (PL/SQL returns Boolean or Returns error text), which will query the file details from apex_flow_files table. Here you can get filetype and size etc.
So just validate and if any validation fails, then delete the file from apex_flow_files and riase error message.
Regards,
Hari
P.S. Please note that, if there are other apex validations on your page and if they fail, still apex will load the file into apex_flow_files table. So it's good idea to create a validation (PL/SQL) which will fire (condition) when inline validation errors occured. Make sure that this is the LAST validation on your page in sequence. And here you can write code to delete the file from apex_flow_files table.

Limit file type and size in Solution Manager

Dear gurus,
I'm writing an inquiry about the possibility of specifying file extension type and the size the user can upload to solution manager, for example in roadmap / configuration.
I.e, we need to limit the user not to upload *.avi extension type, and limiting the size to 5MB.
Thanks for help.
Regards,

Hi Bobby,
Once you insert a file extension in table SADOCGENERIC, after that, all documents with this file extension will be open and
should be editable out-of-place with no edit restrictions. You'll just need to have a way to edit it in your computer.
Kind regards, Fabricius

Best file type and size for logo?

I should know this but I am going to ask anyway. I am have a local graphic artist create a new logo for me. It needs to be keyed in my show opening, segues, and close. The program is shot and edited in 720p but sometimes 1080p. The larger the better for scaling down? I am always lost when it come to this topic.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
Tom

As Russ said, it is better to scale down than up.
Let me add this: if possible, the original file for the logo should use vectorial graphics. This way it won't have a fixed size, and can resized without any loss of quality. This should not be a problem if, for example, the logo is created in Illustrator (formats like eps, pdf, svg can contain vector data). Vector files are also usually smaller in size, although that is probably not a bi consideration here.
Then you can make rasterized versions at different sizes, as needed. You'll probably use a png file in the video, as png supports alpha channel (transparency).

Opening a file type: File

Hi all,
I have to open a simple file for editing. Its a simple file containing some text though its type is unknown. When I click it, it asks for program to open with. It opens
with both notepad & word pad. When I checks its properties, its type is written 'type of file: File'. Otherwise, its just a simple text file. I am using windows xp.
I will be very thankful if someone tells me how could I open this file. This may be an irrelevant question on Java forum but since here, a lot of experienced people, can I use same method(I mean the one which someone will tell me now) to open the file in a C program that is for java.
Thanks a lot in advance for any kind of help......

OK,
Sorry all. Error was some where else. I was just confused by the fact that file was of strange kind & I thought it was the reason.
Sorry again, & I look for your help in future.

Can't import pictures I once could Unrecognized file type

I recently had to reinstall some system software because my computer wouldn't reboot. When I opened up iPhoto 5 nothing was there. I went to a back up and imported the latest Librarty. When I went to import the rest of the photos I got this error message... "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain vallid data)." All my pictures are the same file type and size and come from the same camera. They all open in the Preview application.

Diane
Are they in the iPhoto Library Folder? Because iPhoto wont import pics from the iPhoto Library Folder - a precaution against duplication. Drag them to the desktop and try again.

Server side validation for file type with cffil sent via cfmail problem

Hello;
I have a small app that I need to allow users to be able to use a form, and send me and email with a file attachment. I have it working nicely, I included file manipulation into the validation process of the form and required form fields. The problem I'm having, is this. I'm trying to create and instance where if they try and upload lets say a pdf, it throws and error: "You are trying to upload the wrong file, please try again we only accept bla bla bla" Problem is, even if I'm uploading the proper file, it's rejecting it and deleting it. Can someone help me fix this? I've tried a number of different ways and can't seem to get this to go off properly. I am posting some of the code. There is a ton, so I'm posting the main parts so you get the idea and see my variables.

<cfparam name="FORM.descript" type="string" default=""/>
<cfparam name="FORM.attachment_1" type="string" default=""/>
<cfset arrErrors = ArrayNew( 1 ) />
<cfset showForm = true>
<cfif structKeyExists(form, "sendcomments")>
<cfif NOT len(trim(FORM.name))>
<cfset ArrayAppend(arrErrors,"Your Full Name!<br>") />
</cfif>

<cfset ArrayAppend(arrErrors,"You didn't attach a file!<br>") />
<cfelseif ArrayLen( arrErrors )>

<cftry>
<cffile action="DELETE" file="#CFFILE.ServerDirectory#\#CFFILE.ServerFile#"/>
<cfcatch>

</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cfif>

Can anyone help me out. I can make more of this code available if needed. Like i said, there's a lot and I didn't want to dump it all out, this is the section creating the problem. There are no errors at this time, just rejecting all file types.
thank you.

File type associations limit in WP8.1

Hi everyone!
I'm building a music app for WP8.1 called Teh Jukebox. I am aiming to support many music file formats.
I am however running into a huge problem due to the file type limit at certification time, only allowing 20 file types to be registered with an app.
The reason it is a problem is because I want to make a music app that plays many music file formats, from lossy types like mp3 to lossless types like flac, along with chiptune formats such as nes, spc and vgz. Secondly I want the app to be able to
display album art, and the album art may be in jpg format or png or gif.
After I added support for chiptune formats I went over the limit and the certification tool told me that the app failed certification as it went over the limit.
Here is a breakdown of the current file type support:
lossy:
mp3
ogg
m4a
aac
wma
lossless:
wav
flac
album art:
png
gif
jpg
jpeg
Playlist:
m3u
m3u8
chiptune:
kss
spc
vgm
vgz
gbs
nsf
nsfe
sap
ay
hes
As you can see I'm over the limit at 23.
If I don't put each file type inside my Package.appxmanifest file as a File Type Association declaration when I call StorageFolder.GetFilesAsync() I don't get the files in the list, even though they are in that folder.
The code is all done and the formats all work but because of this limit my app can't currently be certified!
So my question is can the limit be extended for certain apps (up to 30 would be fine!) or is there some way to add more file types that I don't know?
Thanks all for your help
-Alister.

Hello Alister,
I am not aware of any way to extend the 20 file extension limit. However, the other thing to keep in mind is
certain file extensions are reserved by the OS and any declarations you place in the manifest will be ignored. MP3, MP4, WAV, WMV are all reserved by the OS, for
example. The above link contains the full list.
There are two types of reserved file types: file types reserved for Windows Phone built-in apps and file types reserved for the operating system. When a file type reserved for a built-in app is launched, only the built-in app will launch. Any attempt
to register your app with that file type is ignored. Similarly, any attempt to register your app with a file type reserved for the operating system also will be ignored.

Attach any file type in the same format and send it thorugh mail

Dear Guru ,
I have encountered an issue which i am not able to resolve .
The issue is like this I need to upload any kind of file type(such as .txt, .xls, .pdf, .doc, .jpeg, .bmp)
and need to send that file send that particular file and the same file type format attached in the mail.
how i should approch to get solution to this issue.
I have gone through the all prog refered in the code gallry (related to send mail with attachment) but i am not able to find out any prog which is giving guidine line attach any kind of file type from the PC (most of the prog is with either taking filetype .txt, .xls or RAW) and send it via mail .
Need proper guideline to resolve this issue.... how i should approch to solve this.....
Thanks & regards
Saifur Rahaman

Dear Saha Da,
Yes saha da i know using SO00 or Sap Business Workplace (SBWP) you can send it.
But the requirment is like this it must have to do from the selection scereen of the prog .User can save the path of the file which is residing in pc in a variant and from that variant prog will run in background to automate the process.
We can do it using harcoding the filetype while uploading data from the selection screen.
But we have to provide the flexiblity to the user so that he/she can change to any file or any file path.
I am not pretty sure but i my plan i am thinking 1st i will provide the provision of uploading the file into sap application server and from there we will read the file type , file content and send it to mail.
I know it can be done but right now dont know how it can be done ..... but i will findout...
Can you give me some more guideline reagrding this.
Thanks & regards

Webdynpro to limit MIME types and size

Hi,
I need to write an web dynpro application to limite the file type and size using IWDFileUpload API, does anyone has some suggestion ?
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards
Ben.J.

Hi Ben,
I think you can restrict the file type and and also check the file size before uploading the file. You need to write the logic to check out the file type.
Use the following code to check restrict the file upload of only txt file...
          IPrivateTestView.ITestElement pf =
               wdContext.nodeTest().currentTestElement();
          IWDMessageManager mgr = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
          if (pf.getFileResource().getResourceType().getFileExtension() != null
               && pf
                    .getPatchResource()
                    .getResourceType()
                    .getFileExtension()
                    .equalsIgnoreCase(
                    "txt")) {
// Check if file size is in valid range.. call getFileSize()
mgr.reportSuccess("File can be uploaded");
          } else {
               mgr.reportException("Kindly upload ont TXT files", false);
And use following code for calculating File Size:
     private String getFileSize(IWDResource resource) {
          InputStream stream = null;
          DecimalFormat myFormatter = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
          double size = 0;
          String unit = "";
          try {
               stream = resource.read(false);
               size = stream.available();
               if (size < 1024) {
                    unit = " Bytes";
               } else if (size < 1048576) {
                    size = size / 1024;
                    unit = " KB";
               } else if (size < 1073741824) {
                    size = size / 1024 / 1024;
                    unit = " MB";
          } catch (IOException e) {
               wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
                    e.getLocalizedMessage(),
                    true);
          } finally {
               if (stream != null) {
                    try {
                         stream.close();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                         wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
                              e.getLocalizedMessage(),
                              true);
          return myFormatter.format(size) + unit;
          //@@end
This way you can restrict the users. As far as I know there is no standard way of restricting the same
Hope it helps

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
Any advice gratefully received!

File Server - File size\type search and save results to file

I already have a vb script to do what I want on our file server, but it is very inefficient and slow. I was thinking that a powershell script may be more suitable now but I don't know anything about scripting in PS. So far the vb code that I
have works, and I am not the one who wrote it but I can manipulate it to do what I want it to. The only problem is, when I scan the shared network locations it stops on some files that are password protected and I don't know how to get around it. If
someone else knows of a PS script to go through the file system and get all files of a certain type or size (right now, preferably size) and save the file name, size, path, owner and dates created\modified please point me to it and I can work with that. If
not, could I get some help with the current script that I have to somehow get around the password protected files? They belong in a users' HOME directory so I can't do anything with them. Here is my code:

Accessing Excel through automation is bvery slow no matter what tool you use. Scanning a disk is very slow for all tools.
Since Vista all system have a search service that catalogues all major file itmes like size, extension, name and other attributes. A search of a 1+Tb volume can return in less that a second if you query the search service.
You can easily batch the result into Excel by writ4ing to a CSV and opening in Excel. Use a template to apply formats.
Example. See how fast this returns results.
#The following will find all log files in a system that are larger than 10Mb
$query="SELECT System.ItemName, system.ItemPathDisplay, System.ItemTypeText,System.Size,System.ItemType FROM SystemIndex where system.itemtype='.log' AND system.size > $(10Mb)"
$conn=New-Object -ComObject adodb.connection
$conn.open('Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties="Application=Windows";')
$rs=New-Object -ComObject adodb.recordset
$rs.open($query, $conn)
do{
$p=[ordered]@{
Name = $rs.Fields.Item('System.ItemName').Value
Type = $rs.Fields.Item('System.ITemType').Value
Size = $rs.Fields.Item('System.Size').Value
New-Object PsObject -Property $p
$rs.MoveNext()
}Until($rs.EOF)

Image Size and File Type

For image files we should be able to see the size of the image in inches in the details section.
Also for any file, we should be able to quickly see the exact file type (Illustrator CS document or Illustrator CS2 document), not just "Illustrator document" which is absolutely useless.

Stan,
You can see the file type by hovering over the file in Library view and it will show the file name followed by the extension like jpg, nef or tiff.
Alternatively in library mode go to grid view it will pixel size of the files as well as the name of the file withthe format.
If you are not able to see that go to View>View Option.
Check the option show header with label
Hope thatt helps.

Is there a 2GB file size limit on saving a custom format plugin for a custom file type?

I have resolved issues on reading files > 2GB. Now when I save files >2GB, I get a popup that states there is a 2GB limit for plugins.
I an using photoshop CS6 on a MAC OSX 10.9 with 16 GB RAM.
The custom file type is what should be selected when the Save As Dialogue is visible.
I looked for a setting in the Photoshop preferences for Files & setting to PSB, but did not see one.
I tried modifying values in the PiPL for formatmaxSize and PluginMaxSize, but the only values that the code will compile in with:
32767 & 2147483647.
I saw a posting in previous years that custom plugins were limited to 2 GB.

I would like to rephrase my question, now that I have worked a little more with my code.
Is there a 2GB limit per channel and 4GB limit for total file size for a custom photoshop format plugin?

File type? file sizes?
