Help - loading updated files with same name

CS4
When updating files with same name my CS4 automatically puts an extension _000
I think it should ask me if I want to replace the existing file. Is there a switch or setting that I need to change?
Thanks.

While saving multiple attachments from mail, files with same name are added and not replaced

Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

How to delete one existing file before uploading a file with same name?

Hello everybody.
I am uploading a file to Tomcat server. But, the problem is:
i want to delete an existing file in the server, if i upload a fresh file with same name. In other words, "First check for the file with the same name in the server. If it exists, then delete existing file in the server and upload fresh one". If such file doesnot exist, then upload the file to server.
I have given deleteonExit()
but, for the first time when user is uploading, i want to check for the file with same name in the server.
i am pasting the code here. please help:

Thank you MartinHilpert,
I have one more doubt,
I am uploading the file to one folder called "uploaded". Before uploading a fresh file, i want to delete all existing files in that folder. IS that possible ?? If yes, can you please tell me how to do that ??

Merging Log Files with same name

Hello,
I have log files with same name 00000000.jdb (because created at different machines). I would like to merge data stored in these two files.
I tried below approaches which do not work:
1. rename one of the files -> doesn't work as file header has file name info which doesn't match with renamed value
2. db dump/load -> dump and load works without error. (i have to dump Entity related Database and Format related Database -- from -l option) However when i try to read the file, it gives error.
Exception in thread "main" com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentFailureException: (JE 5.0.103) Catalog could not be refreshed, may indicate corruption, errorFormatId=52 nFormats=51, . UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION: Unexpected internal Exception, may have side effects.
I am using EntityStore and thus Annotated Entities.
Does any one has any insights?
Thanks.

Yuvaraj,
As you discovered, it is not possible to use .jdb files from one environment in a different environment. The .jdb files use an internal format with relationships between files that form the Btree.
I'm glad to hear you were able to use DbDump and DbLoad successfully.

Script to find files with same names with in a folder and it sub folders.

Looking for script to find files with same names with in a folder and it sub folders.

Are you just looking to find if any two files underneath a folder have the same name?
If you just want to know that a file named "whatever" exists in two folders, that's not too difficult, but you probably want to know the full path names.
Here's one attempt:
$ perl -MFile::Find -le 'find(\&w, "."); while (($n,$p)=each %file) {if(@{$p}>1){print join(" ",@{$p})}} sub w{push @{$file{$_}},$File::Find::name;}'That will print the pathnames on the same line of any files with the same name that appear anywhere underneath your current directory.
It's a bit long for a "one-liner", but functional.

Static Files with same name. How does apex determine which files to serve?

Hello, I'm using apex 4.2.1.00.08 and I cannot figure out how apex manages the static files and cannot find any help in the docs (other that some high level UI description).
The application is serving some file and I cannot find which one it is in any easy way.
I have a workspace where there are several files that have the same name, and I cannot understand how apex figures out which one to serve, and also don't understand what is value of associating a file with an application.
There are files associated with application 0, which don't appear to show up in the "shared components", but can be seen as
SELECT *
FROM wwv_flow_files
WHERE flow_id = 0;
and can apparently only be deleted using "SQL Commands" inside apex.
the URL called is something like
wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=13498126233076320&p_fname=myfile.css
so apparently the only parameters that matter are the workspace and the file name. The associated application is irrelevant.
apparently files linked to flow_id 0 have precedence over all the other files ...
Thanks for clearing up a bit of "fog" on this issue.

Files associated with an application are referenced using *#APP_IMAGES#*
Files not associated with an application are referenced using *#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#*I referenced with #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#, but now I see that if I use #APP_IMAGES# the URL generated will also contain the application ID. This would help to discriminate between different files with the same name but linked to different applications ...

Do they take precedence over all other files with the same name?
Filename is unique for the given workspace[and application]I disagree. I have multiple files with the same name ... the root of this problem ...
so apparently the only parameters that matter are the workspace and the file name. The associated application is irrelevant.How is your static file referenced??
But not always, try associating an static file with and application and reference it using #APP_IMAGES# instead of #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35125/ui_file_manage.htm#HTMDB06011
Thanks, but the documentation doesn't give much details ... apparently files referenced with #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# can still resolve to files linked to specific applications ... I would like to understand the actual workflow for the various cases (file references with APP_IMAGES, referenced with WORKSPACE_IMAGES, file associated with the application, with another application, with no application, with application "0" ...).
Also, I find it somewhat misleading that you can have files associate with applications that don't exist anymore (e.g. have been deleted).

Files with same name

Hello,
Is it possible to have several files with different assetId, but with the same assetUri, and in the same folder?
Initially, I though yes, because the assetId is a unic id that could differentiate two asset with the same assetUri (that is the visible name in the user interface). But after trying, I noticed that, in this situation, sometime only one asset is shown in the UI (bridge for example), and sometime all the assets are shown, but they are inaccessible (no preview, no possible to open them, no information, just the two assets with the same name represented in Bridge).
Is there then a way to show, in the user interface, two assets (with different assetId) with a same name?
Thank you
ps: by the way, to have two files with same assetUri, different assetId and in the same directory, it makes Bridge struggling (using 100% processor)

You can use the same class name in different packages.
The Java API does that (java.awt.List, java.util.List).
This is odd. What version of javadoc are you using,
and what command are you passing in, with what classpath setting?

Multiple files with same name--- automatic renaming option??

I am trying to sort my files by adding multiple files to a single folder. However, many have the same filename, and I get the error " there already exists a file with the name "x", please choose another name" etc. I am dealing with thousands of files here that are very tedious to rename individually. Is there an option or program that either disables this block on multiple files with the same name in a common folder, or automatically renames the files as they are placed in the folder?

i would like all the files to have different names, but not have to do it myself. they are generated my my audio recorder, which automatically names files take1, take2, take3 etc. multiple sessions entail multiple folders, i am trying to consolidate.

Using recompressed files with same name -- DVD Studio keeps crashing!

Hi,
I completed a project for a client, but they now want music added to certain parts of it. Because there are so many menus, buttons, etc., I decided to add the music in FCP, recompress the files using the same name as the original file used in DVD Studio, and hoped that everything would then relink.
It does relink (it gives me the message that assets may have changed timing, etc) but any time I try to do something (like Simulate it), it crashes.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a better or easier way to solve this problem? Would greatly appreciate anyone's help.
Thanks!

In theory it SHOULD work, FCP seems to do a good job updating say if you are using a Photoshop file and you change it. The timeline in FCP shows the change and I never seem to get any problems there. With DVDSP, however, it's a whole different story. As the previous poster said, change the name and that should work. It sounds like your project might be beyond fixing that way however.
Here's a little more on the subject of replacing assetts and what I learned: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9788507#9788507

Importing files with same name but different extensions

Hope I will be clear enough.
Lets say that instead of sending a file from Lightroom to an external editor, I open it directly in Photoshop.
When I'm done, I save the edited photo using the same name but in a different file format : IMG_1333.cr2 > IMG_1333.psd or IMG_1333.tif, and selecting the same folder location.
Then, I come back into Lightroom and synchronise the folder.
Why is the knew version of the picture not showing up beside the original file, despite the different extension ?
I notice that the different extensions ( .psd or .tif ) are recorded in the sidecar files field in the Metadata panel.
Of course, everything works fine if the file name is modified ( or just by selecting the "copy" option in Photoshop's "save as" dialog box ). Lightroom synchronise dialog shows the new photo to import.
So, why is Lightroom not making a difference between files with the same name but different format extensions ?
Thanks for any hint :-)
Gilles.

Gilles-
I think your problem is likely that you have the option to stack the copy with the original turned on. First, right-click on one of these photos and go to the stacking menu. If Unstack is not grayed out then you have a stack -- select Unstack to reveal all copies.
To change the automatic stacking of edited copies from Photoshop, when you next choose to edit a file, in the bottom left corner of the dialog is the check box for unstacking. Clear it, and that choice should "stick" until you change it again.
Hope this helps!

How to specify Sql Loader input file with dynamic name

The input file name likes pochange_YYYYMMDD.dat which is generated by other program each day.
I want to load this file to a table.
Any help? Thanks a lot

I thought in an excellent strategy to do this:
Conditions:
- you have to have only one file in the folder with the data.
- Independently of the name of that file. A process is always going to change its name to a fix name.
- the controlfile must at another fixed path
the scripts is this one:
joel_sqlloader.bat
ren *.dat always.txt
sqlldr <user>/password data=always.txt control=<another_path>/my_ctl.ctl
- In a folder you will have these files:
* joel_sqlloader.bat
* pochange_YYYYMMDD.dat
- In another folder you will have:
* my_ctl.ctl
Did you get it ?

Save as "web page, complete" .html file disappears when overwriting file with same name

On Mac and PC using various versions of FireFox (including 29.0.1 on Win 7) the following occurs:
"Save Page As" a page with several iFrames in the content. I use "Web page, complete" and name the file.
Close FireFox. The .html file and accompanying folder are saved correctly. Then I open the file in FireFox and make some changes to fields in a form. Then "Save Page As" again and use the same name. It prompts to overwrite the existing file and I click Yes.
Three out of four times the file is no longer there. The folder remains but the .html file is gone. Not in the trash or hidden, just gone.
I know this sounds crazy but I have tested it on about 20 computers (both mac and various windows versions), all with different FF versions and different antivirus. The above scenario happens: always on 1 computer, occasionally (random) on 3, and hasn't been observed yet on the others.
Has anyone encountered this before? Are there any antivirus or malware products that could cause this? Any settings in FF that could? Any thing about this page or frames that could cause it?

I found the solution. Yes, the first time you replace a file it disappears altogether. Just save it again, and it will reappear with the updated date and time code in the directory you chose to save it in. I only wish this were the problem in Firefox v. 30, but that is worse now.

Batch processing: save processed file with same name to different location without moving the original

Hi, I would like to denoise Voice Over files with help of Auditions Batch Process. However, I have to save the files with the same name as the original, so that I can simply relink them in Premiere. Since I do want to keep the originals, I would like to save the processed files to a different location.
Unfortunately, Batch Processor adds " Copy" to the processed files and moves the originals along with the processed files to the new folder (causing Premiere to loose the original files).
Can I achieve my goal with Batch Processor, and how would I have to configure it?
Kind regards,
Andreas

Which version of Audition are you using? The latest ones allow you to specify where the batched files are saved and also if any Prefix or Postfix are added to the file name. These are all under Export Settings in the Batch Process pane. However you must have the Export box ticked to give you access to the settings.

Can't copy over file with same name

I have a master folder with lots of photos in it (1000+). When a photo with the same name is updated elsewhere and I want to put it in the folder and overwrite the old photo, I can't do it. It just copies the new file into the folder and changes its name (adds a "2" on the end of it).
I want to replace the old file with the new one. With my old Mac this was easy to do; why can't I do this now? Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?
I could delete the old photo, then drag in the new one, but I'm dealing with a lot pf photos for a huge project, and that would take up a lot of time to do it that way.

Hi Diane,
It is supposed to give you the message, "xxx already exists, do you want to replace it".
Have you tried creating a new account and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.)
Open System Preferences > Accounts > "+" make it an admin account.
If this works, then log back into your problem account and navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Let us know.
