Filename sorting problem (acrobat)
Hi
I have a Adobe CS4 (Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop etc). The problem is that the filenames listed in Open File window (does not matter what you I click 'Open File' icon, go to Menu - Open, or Crtl+O) are always sorted in Descending order. I want them to be sorted Ascending and to get it that way I have to change the View to Table, Click on Column header to re-sort them. This happens in all CS4 application and really makes my life difficult because I cant change the way it sorts files. What I tried so far without any luck:
- changed sorting in Open File window within Acrobat, but it does not remember that
- did previous operation running Acrobat as local Admin
- changed the sorting in Windows Explorer, does not affect Acrobat
I will appreciate if anyone let me know how to fix this problem,
Lance
apparently it was not an Adobe, but Windows issue. I found a fix and want to share it with others:
===============================================================================
Somehow or another, the sort order of the files can get changed in the
File Open Dialog Box, as well as any other common dialog box that lists
files based on the same control.
It is maddenly difficult to find the fix for this using Google.
Anyway, the fix:
Right click My Computer, choose Explore.
Click on the C: Drive in the left pane.
Click on the View Menu, then choose List.
Right click in the empty whitespace area in the right pane where the
files get listed.
Choose Arrange Icons By.
Pick "Name".
Verify files are sorted alphabetically. If not, repeat.
Press and hold the control key, then click on the "X" to close
Explorer.
Then you can reopen explorer and set whatever default view you want in
explorer.
The key here, is that the file open dialog box, and all other similar
controls, use the sort method saved when in "List" view. Nowhere else
have I seen this. If you do it using "Details" view, it won't fix the
dialog box sort order.
I post this in the hopes that it might show up in a Google search the
next time I screw it up and can't remember how to fix it.
The above might only be true for my computer, but I have verified it,
and finally squashed the little cockroach of a problem.

Hi, I'm having a bit of a sorting problem when it comes to an artist with name variations. The example I'm going to use is DJ Tiesto.
There are album I have where he is credited as DJ Tiesto, and others where he is simply Tiesto.
In the end, I'd like these albums sorted chronologically under one name (say DJ Tiesto), while still preserving and showing the proper artist name for each album. I have it set to sort by "Album by Year", which is working fine.
The major problem I am having is that I can't get it to display properly across all iTunes viewing methods: List mode, Grid mode, and Coverflow.
I've tried leaving the Artist field alone, and changing the Sort Artist field to "DJ Tiesto" for all songs, and that almost works:
-List mode groups them all under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Grid mode sorted by Album groups them all under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Coverflow sorts them all in chronological order, while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
Problem is, Grid mode sorted by ARTIST creates two separate artists! Some for DJ Tiesto and some for Tiesto!
To correct this I tried changing the Album Artist field for all songs to "DJ Tiesto", which solved that problem but created a bunch of new ones:
-List mode is still correctly grouping them under "DJ Tiesto", while showing each albums Artist as the correct artist name.
-Grid mode sorted by Album is still correctly grouping them under "DJ Tiesto", *however now it is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
-Grid mode sorted by Artist is now grouping them all under "DJ Tiesto", *however it is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
-Coverflow is sorting them in correct chronological order, *however it as well is not displaying the correct Artist name for each album!*
Using the Album Artist tag has created more problems that it has solved! Is there anyone who knows a way to achieve what I am trying to do? I have tried seemingly every option I can and have still not found a way to do this!!
Thanks!My own method of working involves renaming the files upon import to:
i "shotdate_sequencenumber"
Files are therefore typically named
b 2007-11-25_001
etc.
This way, sorting by Filename automatically sorts by Date by default. And it wouldn't even matter if you added a descriptive text in between the date and number (
b 2007-11-25_Scotland_001 -
I request that LR on the Windows platform permit the user to select "intuitive filename sorting" or disable this feature. This sorting method has been added with the now older XP plaform release. This was a change in the way XP sorted.
"In previous versions of Windows, filenames are sorted text-wise, character by character. File1.txt, File10.txt, and File100.txt are all placed before File2.txt, because the digit 1 comes before the digit 2. Most users have grown accustomed to zero-padding sequential numbers in filenamesFile010.txt correctly comes after File002.txt. Under Windows XP, though, each block of consecutive digits is treated as a number and sorted as such. Even without zero-padding, File10.txt comes after File2.txt."
There is an option in Windows XP to change back to the older -- and preferred -- style of sorting using either a REGEDIT function or simply disabling "intuitive sorting" in TWEAK UI.
I need LR1.1 to honor the election in XP to sort without using "intuitive filename sorting." Perhaps there is already a way to do this. Please let me know if there is.
Right now I get the following:
0024-0013.jpg
0024-14-01.jpg
0024-0014.jpg
and I need to have:
0024-0013.jpg
0024-0014.jpg
0024-14-01.jpg
I can create both sort formats in Windows Explorer by enabling or disabling "intuitive filename sorting." I really need to have LR honor my sorting election made in Windows.
Thanks.Ok, after trying to move a file with accented characters and without noticing the issue, I remembered that I usually compress the folder/file before moving it...and ta-dah! ...yes, the problems is happening because of Archive Utility and on all accented characters (éàèöäü)...it seems that the archive utility does NOT support those characters...can it be ?
Below you see the file after being compressed in Mac and the file as it was when I created it in Windows...I get the same problem if the file is created first in the Mac...
The issue is not related to the file system of the media I used to exchange the document (I was using a FAT sd memory card, but I have the same results sending it via email from one system to the other), so I think it's really caused by the Archive Utility :-( -
Sorting Problem in FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL Table
Hi,
FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL Table storing the record FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL_N1(MENU_ID,PROMPT,LANGUAGE) wise in R12. But whereas in 11i, records stored FND_MENU_ENTRIES_TL_U1(MENU_ID,ENTRY_SEQUENCE,LANGUAGE).
I am confused, whether i need to recreate the index in R12, so the records will get store MENU_ID,ENTRY_SEQUENCE,LANGUAGE wise.
Could any one please suggest me how to resolve this problem.

Sorting problem in standard vendor search help
Hi all,
I'm enhancing the vendor search help.
I found that there is a sorting problem in the original standard search help.
The 1st time to search vendor in the search help returns a correct list, then I just sort the vendor in ascending order. This time the column name of the hit list changes and mismatch the actual values.
Any one faced this problem before?
What's wrong are there ?
Thanks.Thanks Peluka.
But even I don't enhance the vendor search help, I still found that the original standard version has this problem after sorting.
Is that the program bug?
Have anyone encountered this problem before? -
SWF Export, no font showing in Acrobat and zoom border problem (Acrobat & Reader) - Indesign CS6
Hi Everyone,
If anyone could help me on this that would be great, I've spent hours on the forums and manuals to no avail.
I'm making an interactive PDF brochure in Indesign for one of our new products and I'm having issues (actual or perceived??!!) with the SWF export and PDF creation. I'm placing animations and video in the INDD, exporting it as an SWF (with the text option as Flash Classic Text) and then opening the SWF (not importing to a word doc or anything, just opening the SWF) with Acrobat using the advanced options to import the video resources and to enable the content when the page is opened. I then save the file as a PDF. In the PDF everything works as it should, the animations, the buttons, the video plays and so on. Great.. hmm not quite.
The trouble I am having is that all the content of the SWF when viewed in Acrobat seems to be getting rasterised/flattened - is this correct? After the SWF is opened, Acrobat indicates no fonts in the fonts tab in the document properties so when the SWF is zoomed in Acrobat, or the saved PDF in Reader, the font gets pixelated and the document is not searchable/text can not be highlighted. The images are not selectable either - it is as if the entire page has been flattened to one image. Is there a way to stop this so that the SWF opened with Acrobat retains the font and individual images like a normal PDF? Do I have to open the SWF in Flash first to set some parameters or something? Is there something I am doing wrong when exprting the SWF from Indesign? I think I have tried about every possible export combination. When I open the .HMTL (exported at the same time as the SWF from Indesign) in a browser, the same happens. All the animations work but the text appears to be rasterised/flattened/not searchable. Sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology.
I have tried importing the SWF back into another new INDD and exporting that as an interactive PDF but then the video does not work. I suppose I could try exporting all the individual animations as SWFs, importing them all and trying to get them to work with the video but I can see that will take quite some time and does not seem to be a guaranteed solution from what I have read on the forums - video playback being the issue.
Another problem is that when the SWF, or saved PDF, is zoomed in Acrobat/Reader between approx 150% and 210% a thick white border appears in the document and the content is squashed into the middle creating a slightly pixelated and narrow page. When I zoom out from the page I get a small white line on the right hand border at around 70% zoom. Please see images. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
On another, sort of related topic, my timing panel went blank yesterday and was not showing any animations in documents that it had been used to order and synch animations on page load as well as new documents. The panel was blank. I updated to V8.0.1 and the panel sprang back into life - hope that helps anyone else finding the same problem.
I am not very familiar with Indesign/Acrobat/Flash so I guess all the above could be what I'm doing or I could be asking really dumb questions - apologies from a newbie.
Best,
EmilyHi All,
I have now pretty much solved all the issues by creating the SWF in Flash rather than Indesign. I would advise anyone looking to create an interative PDF with animation and interactivity to go with Flash from the start. While Flash is a little more involved to create the same effects as Indesign, the extra time taken will ensure a more controllable and better looking PDF in terms of text quality, scalability and so on. Plus you will not spend days trying to get video to work along side imported SWF etc in Indesign. One of the best controls in Flash is being able to set the stage.scaleMode for the document so the PDF still looks crisp when zooming, no white borders etc. So, create the .fla, export to .SWF, open the .SWF with Acrobat, modify the advanced settings to enable start on page load and save as a PDF. If you don't know Flash, I didn't a couple of days ago, watch a couple of tutorials on Youtube.. buttons, tweens, embedding video and you'll be ready. Don't be put off by ActionScript, there are really handy Code Snippets in CS6 that do all the heavy lifting for you.
Sorry Indesign!
Best,

Filename length affects Acrobat review success
When I initiate a shared Acrobat review to my company's server, the e-mailed copy doesn't always get sent via Outlook (although the "_review" PDF and associated XML folder gets saved to the server, as normal). The problem is related to the original PDF's filename. Shorter filenames work, longer ones don't. Could you please tell me the maximum filename length for successfully sending the review document automatically via the Acrobat review process?
Perhaps the length of the file path eats into this max length as well? (Our folder to contain PDF review documents is K:\Acrobat Reviews\_Engineering.)
Thanks!
---Mike, KVH IndustriesHi Mike,
There is no upper file name length as such. But there is an upper limit to the number of characters in the path of the comment repository. Comment repository is located at your server which you have selected to host your review. The repository folder name contains the name of the file_review.pdf along with some other characters. There is also an xml inside this which actually contains your comments. The complete path of this xml including the xml name should not be greater than 226 characters.
But if this complete path is greater than this upper limit then acrobat does not let the user initiate shared review in the first place. An error "The file name(s) would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location that has a shorter path." is thrown at the profile name step.
There might be some other issue as well due to which the e-mailed copy doesn't always get sent via Outlook (although the "_review" PDF and associated XML folder gets saved to the server. Could you give me some more details about the kind of server you are using and are you sending it as attachment or link? Also, where is orignal file located (local machine or server)?
Thanks,

Lightroom 2.0 Sorting Problem after Adjusting Capture Time
Lightroom 2.0
OS X 10.5.5, iMac 24", 4 gb ram, >500gb disk space free
I import with Organize: By date: yyyy/yyyy-mm-dd
and File Naming: Date - Filename
After returning from a trip to Australia, I adjusted the capture time on my photos (I hadn't adjusted the time in the cameras). This caused the date on some of them to change.
Now *some* of them are sorting by capture time incorrectly. Ones where the capture date went from Sep 30 to Oct 1 are now sorting *before* before the rest of the Sept and Oct photos.
This means that some of the photos are in the "wrong" folder since their capture date changed. This doesn't seem to be the problem since it's only the ones where the *month* changed that are sorting wrong. Is there any easy way to get these into the right folders? (Other than manually.)there is a 2.0 Beta forum for this.

While submitting the PDF form field data, do we have to manually add the 'f href' element in the XFDF when running on Acrobat 9? Or, is it the acrobat javascript method 'submitForm' which generates the XFDF with field names and 'f href' ?
Please let me know asap. In my project, its observed that 'f href' element (i.e. filename) is missing in the XFDF retrieved in Acrobat 9.
Thanks.Just revisiting on this topic and hoping for some assistance.
We are currently generating .xfdf xml form files and they are using <f href=filename.pdf>
This works fine when superimposing the data in the form onto PDF's using Adobe Reader 8 and lower but with version 9, when the client opens the .xfdf file the .pdf file for the form does not load for the aforementioned reason in the previous posts and therefore the user cannot view the document with the XML data superimposed on the PDF.
I would prefer not to have to roll users back to Adobe Reader version 8 to make these forms work so I was wondering, can the code eg. <f href=filename.pdf> be changed to be compatible with Adobe Reader 9 as well as backwards compatible with versions 8 and lower and so forth. If this can be done, how does the link need to be coded?
Thanks in advance -
Hi,
I'm using the sort on a report with 7 columns. For each column I've specified
the sort sequence from 1 to 7. The last sort is a date field. If i sort now the
last column and i change to next report side the sort change jump to the first column.
Is there somebody who had also a problem like this?
Greets,
TomYou can check boxes to determine which columns can be sorted; if you check one or more boxes, you also need to set the "Sort Sequence" attribute under the "Report Attributes" tab of your SQL query region. So to use sorting you must.
1. ensure you don't have an order by in your SQL statement
2. check one or more "sort" boxes
3. set the default order in one or more column in the "sort sequence" column
Hope this helps,

Sorting Problem in XML Publisher Report
Dear Members,
I am facing problems with sorting data in my XML Publisher Report.
We are using Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 Version and i developed a rtf Template and executable is an RDF which generates XML Data.
I want the whole report to group by element ITEM_NAME which is a character in the ascending order. I tried several ways but it is not working properly.
I don't know how to upload the RTF template in this forum. I tried to post the XML Code and since its excceds 30000 characters i cant post it in the forum.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
SandeepYou can't upload the template here; you can post a part of the relevant XML code and template code here.
or send me a sample XML and RTF template to [email protected] and I will take a look. -
Mail sorting problem after upgrading to Mountain Lion?
I have a strange problem with Mail after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Before upgrading, when I tried to search my Mail Inbox for e-mails from a specific sender, the esearch results would be indexed by the name of the sender. For example: when I entered 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail, it would display a list of email from 'John Smith'
Now after upgrading, the same query indexes the search results by the 'To' address i.e. my email address.For example: if my name is 'Steve Johnson', a search for 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail displays a list of email to 'Steve Johnson' and not from 'John Smith' which is how it used to display before.
My emails are sorted by Date always, and I am using the default Mail view [not classic view]
Can someone please help with a fix for this to help me get back to the original display I had while searching? Thanks in advance.I'm having the same problem. It's incredibly annoying!!! Did you find an answer?

Help with Artist Sort Problem Needed...
This is a bit long, so I'll start with the three main questions and below them is the backstory and detail of the problem (I did do a search but nothing turned up):
1) Does anyone know how to fix artist sorting issues where the artists are properly sorted (alphabetically by last name and band name) but there are constant grey-bar letter headings for the first name (sorry...I don't know how to explain better than I do below in detail)
2) Will re-setting the Touch require I have to...
a) re-add all the songs I've manually selected again
b) re-input any data saved to apps (such as CarCare and
Pocketpedia) and if so, can I backup that data first?
3) If all the re-doing in 2 above is necessary if I were to re-set the iPod, can anyone think of an alternative fix that would avoid a reset?
I might be able to get to an Apple store this weekend to ask a "genius" but I'm not that confident in them since I was given some incorrect information on how the Touch handles playlists at the time of original purchase.
Okay... now, what happened:
I'm not sure what to make of this, fortunately playback and all main functions are unaffected. I have my iPod Touch 2g set for manual sync. Today, while I was charging it at work, my PC (WinXP) froze. I gave it plenty of time to unfreeze, but eventually had no choice but to do a hard reboot while the iPod said "syncing." I slid the slider to cancel the sync, but the iPod didn't respond. I unhooked it from the PC and it unfroze. I shut it down and re-started.
Everything seemed fine after the iPod reboot except that now, while the artists are still sorted alphabetically (I've manually set artists to sort by last name), there are headers using the first letter of the first name between each artist. So, for instance, this is how the top of my artist list looks now (lines below with just a letter are the grey divider bar with the alphabetical header):
R
Ryan Adams
D
Dave Alvin
T
Tori Amos
E
Eric Andersen
A
Apples in Stereo
Arcade Fire
L
Louis Armstrong
A
Ataris
...etc.
This problem has not extended to album or song title fields, but for some reason, when scrolling through the album view using the index on the right, it moves fine until "O" -- then it sits still as I scroll down until it gets to "#", at which point it's resposnive again.
I've checked the music library on the iPod via iTunes and the artist sort fields are still correct.
Suggestions? I'm new to the Touch and am leery of doing a reset yet since it's taken time to figure out which songs from my 100+gb library to manually put on this. Also, I have no idea how it will affect the apps I've downloaded. There are some where I've saved data (such as CarCare and Pocketpedia) and I REALLY don't want to risk having to re-input all that data.
To anyone with any words of advice, thanks in advance.

Message was edited by: IronWaffleThis is an answer to only qestion 2. Yes restoring your ipod will delete all songs, apps, videos, etc., but you can back up settings like a passcode lock or screen brightness. But it will ask if you want to back up settings. If your'e on windows, in itunes go to file and down almost all the way you will see a "Tranfer purchases from (ex.) steves ipod" and that will make sure you have all your apps and music and other stuff.

JTable sorting - problem when adding elements (complete code inside)
I�m writing this email with reference to a recent posting here but this time with the code example. (I apologize for the duplicated posting � this time it will be with the code)
Problem: when adding more elements to the JTable (sorted) the exception: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.
Example: If the elements in the table are 10 and then the user requests for 8 � the table will produce the correct result. However, if the user will ask for 11 items (>10) the exception will be thrown.
The program: The program below (compiles and running). A JTable is constructed with 3 items, when you click the button - the return result should be 4 items - this will generate the error, WHY?
I would highly appreciate your thoughts why this is happening and most importantly � how to fix it.
Thanks a lot

}The table listens to the TableModel for changes. Changing the table by adding/removing
rows or columns has no affect on its table model. If you make changes to the table model
the table will be notified by its TableModelListener and change its view. So tell
MyTableModel about the change of data:
public class TableSorterDemo implements ActionListener
MyTableModel tableModel;
public TableSorterDemo()
defaultListModel = new DefaultListModel();
init1();
tableModel = new MyTableModel(defaultListModel);
TableSorter sorter = new TableSorter(tableModel);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
if (ae.getSource()==clickMe)
defaultListModel.removeAllElements();
init2();
tableModel.fireTableStructureChanged();

I have a report based on a view. For some reason some of the columns are not being sorted correctly. After pressing the column header to sort date columns the underlying data is not sorted properly (its out of order) or its not sorted at all.
Can you please let me know if there is a known bug causing that?I think I'm having the same problem.
I have a report with data columns, several "not shown" columns, and several column links. I've noticed that any columns in the query after a certain point, will not sort the correct column. If I show all the columns and allow them all to sort, then some of the columns will sort the data in another column. (for example clicking on the header/sort link for column x sorts the table by column y and clicking on the sort link for column z sorts column x, etc).
I've noticed that I can move columns around in my select query and no matter how they are arranged, after the 7th or 8th column in the select statement, none of the columns following that will sort properly. I've tried all kinds of things, changing my select query around, enabling and disabling sorting, adding additional null columns in, setting and unsetting the default sort order, changing the order of the columns in the report. I don't have an order by in my query or anything weird besides some where clauses (most of which are from the default search functionality).
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? We just upgraded from HTML DB 2.2 to APEX 3.0 and the problem remained the same.
Thanks,
Greg
