Folder with gibberish name in Preferences

Hi everybody!
In my Preferences folder, there is a mysterious folder named "äoÅ† xøˇœPè¿≈,øˇœ¿D @Bè¿≈§ñû#0".
Does anybody have an idea what this preferences folder is for? I trash it regularly, but it comes back...
Thanks for any info,
Berlugana

Previous threads suggest that Twain drivers used with Photoshop or other Adobe apps may be the culprit.
They're temporary files that should be deleted when Photoshop is closed. However it seems some don't get deleted.
Short of removing the plug-ins it seems they're destined to keep coming back.

Automator and applescript to copy new files in a folder with same name as parent folder

I have an iMac with a pictures folder (Finder folder) containing several subfolders with pictures. As per now, all these subfolders are imported into an iPhoto library (and the structure of the Finder pictures folder is thus maintained: The iPhoto events are named the same as the Finder subfolder). I.e. I have not created any albums in iPhoto.
I have also set up a workflow, where new iPhone photos are automatically being synced to specified Finder folders within the iMac pictures folder. So what I want to do is to make a workflow to import potential new photos from week to week into the existing iPhoto structure. I know iPhoto has this Autoimport folder, so this one is unpacked and "mapped". So, this is what I´m hoping to do:
Automator (iCal - want to do this on a weekly basis):
- Get specified Finder items -- set to target folder = iMac pictures folder
- Get folder content (with subfolders)
- Filter Finder items
     - Items from the last 7 days (which then would be any new files created last week)
- Applescript/shell script loop(?)
     - Get folder name for each file´s (from previous step) parent folder
     - Create new folder with same name as the file´s parent folder (if not already existing) under the iPhoto Autoimport folder
     - Copy the given file into the folder from above
- Run iPhoto application (Automator task), which then should just auto import the new photos according to the Finder folder structure
Whith the workflow above, I aim to maintain the existing iPhoto structure, and just import new photos into the existing structure. Creating folder names under the Autoimport, similar as the existing Finder folder names / iPhoto events should make it possible to have the new files imported under the existing event, right?

Anyone?
I have now switched to Aperture (from iPhoto) due to Aperture´s capability to handle Finder folder structure, and due to the possibility of having the pictures within Aperture as referenced files to the pictures within the Finder folders (i.e. possibility to delete pictures from both library and Finder folder at the same time).
So I have a superior Finder folder called "Album". Within "Album" I have several subfolders (sub albums) containing pictures. The "Album" folder with subfolders are imported into Aperture as "Projects and albums", and the pictures are uploaded within the Aperture structure as referenced files. So for now the Aperture structure is more or less a direct mirror of the Finder folder structure, whereas "Album" is the project.
And this is my current workflow in Automator, but I´m searching help with my Applescript:
- Get specified Finder items (target folder = the superior Finder folder "Album")
- Get Folder content
- Filter Finder items (to look for potential new files to import into Aperture)
     - Kind is not folder
     - Date created last X days
The output files from this task enters an Applescript
on run {input, parameters}
       repeat with f in input (**Loop**)
               tell application "Finder"
                      set fileName to name of (f)
                      set parentFolder to name of container of (f)
                      tell application "Aperture"

                                    tell project "Album"
                                           if (exists album parentFolder) then
                                             ** I then would like to check if fileName already exist within the existing album**
                                             ** If not existing, I would like to import file f into the existing album as a referenced file**
                                           else if not (exists album parentFolder) then
                                                   make new album with properties {name:parentFolder}
                                            ** I then would like to import file f into the new album as a referenced file**
                                           end if
                                    end tell

SharePoint 2007 Content deployment Error: 'A folder with the name already exists.

Hi, In SharePoint 2007 one Content deployment job is failed with below error:
Content deployment job 'Remote import job for job with sourceID = some id' failed.The exception thrown was 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException' : 'A folder with the name PublishingImages/AEI-2014/Blue already exists.'
From last 3 days I am getting this error and previously this Job was running without any Error.
In Import Log file getting message: "FatalError: A folder with the name PublishingImages/sg-2015/yellow already exists."
Please tell me how to resolve the issue.

Hello,
It seems same folder exist in destination server that's why job is failing. You need to check destination server and remove the same name/GUID from site then try again.
See this technet for more info: (see "Conflicting content on source and destination" section)

Script that saves every visible layer as individual file in folder with same name

Hello.
In my PSD I have many folders with unique name (like "1234"), that contains layers named as digits (like "0", "1", "2" etc).
I need to save each layer as JPG to folder with the same name and hierarchy that is in PSD file.
How to do that using JavaScript .jsx scripts?
Thank you for any response.

What exactly is the problem – addressing the Layers, creating the Folder structure, …?

Create .exe that sends results to .txt, keeps looking for folder with .exe name

Created a project that logs the results to a .txt file that was setup in "Source File Settings" as a subfolder "Test Results", but when I run the .exe it trys to write the results to a folder with the same name as my .exe file. I must have something set up wrong under my Build properties.
Thanks Chuck

Even though this knowledgebase's question does not address your question directly, it does expand on what Dennis said about the path being different between the development system and the executable. And how the it adds another layer in the executable.
The part that is most useful to you is this:
" Consider a VI named Application.vi located in the hard drive's root directory (e.g. C:\). In the LabVIEW development environment, the Current VI's Path function returns:
C:\Application.vi
Now consider the same VI built into a stand-alone application named MyApplication.exe. When running, the Current VI's Path function returns:
C:\MyApplication.exe\Application.vi
Therefore,
when you have an executable, you must strip the path twice to get to
the owning directory. To write a VI which will return the current
directory both as a VI and after being built into a stand-alone
application, use LabVIEW's Application Kind or Application Name properties to determine in which environment the VI is running. "
Hope this helps!

Create folder with name Client150412n

Hi,
I'm new to ApplesScripting. I've found this script that I'd like to change:
--This script will make a new folder on the desktop with current date and dialog box
--format the date to 2010-11-19
tell (current date) to get day & (it's month as integer) & (it's year as integer)
set TheDateFormat to the result as text
-- asks for folder name with date as default answer
set TheFolderName to text returned of (display dialog "Name the folder" default answer TheDateFormat)
--make folder with date & user entered text
tell application "Finder"
make new folder with properties {name:TheFolderName}
end tell
The desired changes:
- Date format should be: 150412 + a letter (a, b, c) if the folder to be created already exists.
- Place the cursor at the start of name dialog, no selection active.
- The new folders should be created in /Users/Hans/Dropbox/Jobs/
Thanks,
Hans
Another question is related to execution of the script:
- How can I start the script easily with a shortcut key or a Dock icon?
- Is it possible to select client name from a plain text file containing client names in separate lines?
- Is it possible to have zip files automatically unzipped to subfolder names with the zip package name?
- Regarding the Dock icon I could even imagine that I drag a zip or other file from an email or the Desktop to the icon and that I only have to type the clients name to have the file moved to a new folder.

save script as an application bundle. Drag app to dock.
Set short-cut key to app.

RQ: Receive files in folder with name of the sende...

Hello,
I don't know is I'm on the right place and I don't know is there same request, so I apologize if it exist...
Please, make option the received files to be saved in folder with the name of the sender. For example: my friend with skype name XYZ send me a file 'foo.bar' that will be saved in \My Documents\Skype_save (I changed the default dir); another friend with name XXY send me file 'foo1.bar' and again it will be in \My Documents\Skype_save, but when there are many files it is difficult to sort them and know whose files sended by who... So the good choise is if the files are saved in folder with name XYZ, XXY etc... Example:
\Skype_save\XYZ\foo.bar
\Skype_save\XXY\foo1.bar
I'm sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language. I hope you can understand what I mean with this folders

There is no automatic option in Skype that can do what you are trying to accomplish. However, you can in advance create save folders named as your contacts and and each time you receive a file, to save the file in the appropriate folder.
For this to function, you have to set the option in Tools -> Options -> IM settings -> Show advanced options to “Choose a folder where to save the file every time”.

How to create a folder with date each day?

I've not used Automator, just once to "create" a workflow to create a new folder with a name; but what I want is this:
Each morning at 12:01 am, a new folder to be created with the correct date as the name of the folder.
So for tomorrow, Sunday 23 Nov 2008 at 12:01, I'd suddenly have a folder on my Hard Drive that would have the date like 23 Nov 2008 or 11/23/2008 or 23-11-2008 or similar.
Then at the end of a week I'd have 7 of these; - but I can manually trash them-- I want to create these on my HD since I backup via SuperDuper! each morning (automatically) at 3:35 am (incremental backup to an external La Cie HD) and I want to know if was done, so by having a folder with the date on it I can open the external HD and if I see that that folder with the recent date is there, then I'm confident the BackUp was run.
I have been able to create a workflow to create a folder in Automator, but not sure how to:
1. Have the folder created automatically each day at 12:01
2. How to have the folder label be the date
Thanks for any comments or certainly any other work-around or other way to do this or similar.
Regards, Steve

Open the AppleScript Editor. Copy the following into it:
set dt to date string of (current date)
set mth to word 2 of dt
set dy to word 3 of dt
set yr to word 4 of dt
set dtt to mth & " " & dy & " " & yr
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at alias "Macintosh HD:Users:username:Desktop:" with properties {name:dtt}
end tell
Amend the path with your Hard Disk name and username. Save as an application to anywhere suitable.
In iCal, set up an event with a daily repeat and an alarm at the time you want it: under 'Alarm' choose 'Open file': then in the next menu which will appear change from 'iCal' to 'Other' and navigate to your script. Enter the date and time.
Your folder will be created as required: iCal does not need to be running. This script gives the folder name as, for example, 'November 22 2008', but it's easy to amend the script if you want something a bit different - for example:
property zro : ""
set yr to year of (current date) as string
set dy to day of (current date)
set mt to month of (current date)
set dyy to dy as string
set nmm to the number of items in dyy
if nmm is 1 then
set zro to 0
end if
if mt is January then
set mth to "01"
else if mt is February then
set mth to "02"
else if mt is March then
set mth to "03"
else if mt is April then
set mth to "04"
else if mt is May then
set mth to "05"
else if mt is June then
set mth to "06"
else if mt is July then
set mth to "07"
else if mt is August then
set mth to "08"
else if mt is September then
set mth to "09"
else if mt is October then
set mth to "10"
else if mt is November then
set mth to "11"
else if mt is December then
set mth to "12"
end if
set dtt to mth & "-" & zro & dy & "-" & yr as string
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at alias "iBook HD:Users:roger:Desktop:" with properties {name:dtt}
end tell
This gives the folder name as, for example, 11-22-2008. (The days will have leading zeros, if you don't want these just remove the references to 'zro'.)

How to create a folder (with subfolders) with Applescript

Good afternoon,
Filemaker has the ability to ake use of AppleScript.
From within Filemaker I want to create a new folder (with the name of a FileMaker field) that holds 6 subfolders.
I am a complete noob where it comes to Applescript.
This is my script so far:
tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
set folder_name to cell "FolderName" of current record
end tell
tell application "Finder"
     activate
     make new folder at folder "Desktop" of folder "dick" of folder "Users" of startup disk with properties {name:folder_name}
end tell
tell application "Finder"
     activate
        make new folder at folder {name:folder_name} of folder "Desktop" of folder "dick" of folder "Users" of startup disk with properties {name:"subfolder"}
end tell
My problem is: the creation of "Subfolder1"
What is my mistake there?
Help is much appreciated
Dick
Ps: I need to make 6 subfolders there

When you crate a new folder you can define various properties, but when refering to the folder just use the name, for example:
make new folder at folder folder_name of folder "Desktop" of folder "dick" of folder "Users" of startup disk with properties {name:"subfolder"}
Note that the result returned from making a new folder is a reference to that folder, so you can also do something like:
tell application "Finder"
set newFolder to (make new folder at folder "Desktop" of folder "dick" of folder "Users" of startup disk with properties {name:folder_name})
make new folder at newFolder with properties {name:"subfolder"}
end tell

To create multiple files with same content but with different names

Hi SapAll.
here i have got a tricky situation on Idoc to File Scenario.
in my interface of an Idoc to file ,there is requirement to create multiple files with different file names but with same content based on one Idoc Segment.
which means there will be one Zsegment with two fields in the idoc,where one field with (content refers to the name which file name should start with .so lets say if this segment is repeated for 3 times then PI should create 3 files in the same directory with same content but with different file names (from the filed).
so here for now iam using one reciever file communication channel.
can any body give me the quick answer.
regards.
Varma

What do you mean by different names?
when i make proper setting in the Receiver Channel....on how to create the filename (what to append) like add Timestamp, counter, date, messageid.....even in this case you will ahve file with different names and that too from same File channel.
You can perform multi-mapping in XI/ PI and then your File channel will place the files in the target folder with relevant names. You cannot use Dynamic Configuration with Multi-Mapping!
If you intend to use different File channels, then do the configuration as required (normal)...even over here you can follow multi-mapping.
Do not use a BPM!

Abhishek.
