Hidden dot files created for each picture

It appears that Photoshop on an osx machine is also creating a ._PicturesName.jpg file for each jpg in the same folder as the jpg. Is that a photoshop or osx thing? is there a way to prevent all those extra files from being created?
We put the folders of jpg's on the windows server, then have to go through and manually kill all those ._files before we can use the folder.

It's OSX' icon thumbnails. You can turn this off in your Finder settings (/and also hide those system files).

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.
This User Tip

has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

Is there a way to sync my IPTC Core "date created" with my File Properties "Date File Created" for m

I am working with a massive file of images and part of the issue is that I need to match the Date Create in the IPTC Core to that of the File Properties "Date File Created" for each image. Is there a way to do that automatically?

The date data is complex. Read through this post and see if it sheds any light on your question. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1171910

If I add artwork by dragging a jpg to the artwork area after selecting several rows, in some instances a single icon is created in the flipper; in others one is created for each song. Why? How can I get one image per album every time?

Store the Printing Metadata for each picture

2) Can Lightroom store print metadata (font size/color, scaling factor) for each picture and for each virtual copy the way it already stores Vibrance, virtual copies, tone curves, etc. information?
Suppose Photo1 and Photo2 have widely different title lengths (6 letters and 20 letters, respectively). Then I print Photo1 then Photo2 then Photo1 again.
Right now I have to retype the title for Photo1 and re-scale the title letters for Photo1 to make them look the same size as the first time printing Photo1, even though I printed Photo1 already.
I print almost all of my photos with titles and often cannot know which photo I'll print next. This is a real time-waster and not having to do this each time would be a huge timesaver!
Thanks!
Robert

Thanks, Ian.
That is do-able for a small number of pictures but I title hundreds of pictures and it would be much better since LR has a nice database to automatically store that metadata.
An analogy in the Develop module is that users don't have to fill in a template to hold all their Develop metadata from session to session e.g., Recovery = 50, Fill = 10, Vibrance = 30, etc. because that would make LR's workflow far too cumbersome for 100s or 1000s of pictures. The same should be true for LR saving Print metadata.
Thanks again,
Robert

Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading?

Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading? I have limited download (525 MBs/day) because of Hughsnet and I need to know each applications total size before I download.

You can go to the trial page to get an estimated size. As the Creative Cloud products change over time though this may become less accurate.
If you are on a limited bandwidth account then you may want to consider purchasing a perpetual copy of Creative Suite 6 as opposed to subscribing to the Creative Cloud.

When I open FF a tab is created for each of my add-on

Is JVM created for each program?

I tried running the following command
java -xxx somejavaclass
(I know this option is not a valid one...Just tried it:-))
and got the following output:
Unrecognized option: -xxx
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
What I want to know is "Is the JVM created for each executed program?"
What does the error statement "Could not create the Java virtual machine" mean?

For every valid invocation of java (and javaw, etc) an instance of the jvm is created.
The message means it didn't do that.

Is there any way to not create the hidden 'dot' files when copying to a USB

I am moving photos to a USB device for use in a digital picture frame. The problem arises that 'dot' files are also created on the USB device and the digital frame chokes on them. I actually have to take the device to a <egad> Windows system to delete all of the 'dot' files so that the photo frame works correctly. So.. in a word, I would like to perform a copy to the USB device and tell the OS to not generate the 'dot' files. Any ideas? Thanks

How can I update an existing .dot file (created long ago in Word)?

I send contracts out for my vacation rental with a lot of information and only need part of the info to be specific to each person.
But now I need to update some of the static info and want to continue using as a .dot. (So saving each updated contract as a .pages file).
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi Red,
I'm assuming you no longer have a working version of MS Word.
.dot is the extension for a Word template file. It can be opened in Pages if you change the extension to .doc.
You can export the Pages document to a .doc format file, but not to the .dot format. I suspect that changing the extension of the exported .doc to .dot is not sufficient to change the file from a Word Document to a Word Template
I would suggest that you open the static file into Pages, update the information, then export as a Word (,doc) file AND save it as a Pages file. Use the Pages file as the source file for the information needed to send with each contract, and open the .doc file only when you again need to update the static info.
Regards,
Barry

Loading accdb file using for each loop in to single target table

I have 3 accdb file as below in single folder, in control flow I have created a for each loop to loop through all the below file. In dataflow task I have created oledb source using connection manager to point to first file a1.accdb. I am trying
to load all the file into single below mentioned target table, here It is only loading first file it is not looping through other two file.
This I have tried to load .txt files and csv files it is working perfectly but similarly when I try to load access db file table it is not working, can any one of you help me?
1. a1.accdb contains only one table a1tab ( col1 col2 col3 )
2. a2.accdb contains only one table a2tab ( col1 col2 col3 )
3. a3.accdb contains only one table a3tab ( col1 col2 col3 )
I have a target table with similar structure as source
Target table <TargetTable> Col1 Col2 Col3
aak

Thanks Arthur, please find below response
How do you handle the different table names? Cant we handle it in a similar manner, how we handle the .csv/.txt files with different name and similar structure for sources(multiple files) and target (single table)
Is it good to drop the idea of for each loop and create a separate task for each accdb file? to be loaded to same target table( performance wise etc.. any justification would be helpful)
You must handle the connection string dynamically?
Can you help me with the logic for handling connection string dynamically

Finding Hidden PDF files created by iPhoto/Book

early last year there was a discussion concerning the hidden high res pdf files created by Book in iPhoto. I've searched for it with no luck. I want to use the pages I create in Book for Quicktime Slideshows, as I did then. Is this still possible with iPhoto 6 and if so does anyone know where they are hidden now? I did right click on the book and save a pdf of the book but the res does not seem very high.

It's been a while since you guys were on this topic, but here's my 2 cents.
Wanting to see a PDF of my book to check on some text wrap issues, I did click "buy now" last night and cancelled as soon as the book was done assembling and iPhoto started the upload. Didn't receive an e-mail thanking me for my order, so I figured things were fine.
This morning, I discovered a "pending transaction" to Apple on my bank account, and I am currently waiting to see if it will actually go through or not. When calling Apple Customer service, they told me my credit card was probably "pinged" because the order was started, but the charge may "fall off" because the upload was aborted. If I wanted to know for sure, I had to e-mail iPhoto support (calling wasn't possible), and could expect a response within 48 hrs. Well, within that time frame I will be able to see for myself what happens with that charge, but in the meantime the amount is deducted from my balance. So for anyone out there wondering what happens when you click "buy now," there you go.
The good news is, I did get the desired PDF file. I compared it with the file that "File>Print" generates and the only differences I see in a quick comparison are:
- File>Print does not include the blank pages (inside covers and back page), so I end up with 55 pages instead of 58, and the file size is slightly smaller (46.6MB compared to 47.2MB)
- File>Print's PDF shows 792x612 dimensions (under "get info"), compared to Buy Now's 797.76001 x 617.76001. I have no idea what that is about. Maybe a bleed or something?
Hope this helps someone.

How can I have a custom output file destination for each different preset?

Hey guys,
I have a bunch of presets in AME but I need to have each preset export to it's own folder. How can I do that? This was a really simple thing to do in Compressor but in Media Encoder is seems like I can only specify one output file destination for the whole application in general and everything gets exported to that folder. Can anyone help me with that please?

This is a user to user forum. It is not staffed by Adobe employees so you will not always get a direct response from Adobe.
That being said, the output destination is not tied to the presets so this is not possible without a little extra work. You can change multiple output destinations by selecting multiple jobs and then clicking on one of the output locations to update them all. Another way to set this up would be to use watch folders.
