Hiding LCK files

Is there a way to hide the LCK files in Dreamweaver that the
Check In/Check Out system creates? It sure makes it hard to upload
a bunch of files at once.

CI/CO would be useful in this situation. Both of you need to
be using it.
I suppose the easy way to cope with the LCK files would be to
sort the files
list by file type. Could that do it for you?

Hide .LCK files

For some reason Dreamweaver CS5 is not hiding the _notes folders or .LCK files. I have freshly reinstalled and updated, but this problem persists. All documentation says these files should not be visible, but here they are.
Please let me know how to hide these files, the way they should be, the way they were in CS4. You can even check out the .LCK files currently.

In the expanded File panel, VIEW | Show Hidden Files.
By the way, leaving this enabled is the only way you can see files such as ".htaccess" in your file list....

Search Remote Files... or ...How Do I Delete All of My LCK Files?

hey everyone.
i need to delete a bunch of .LCK files from my server so
Dreamweaver
will stop telling me someone else has stuff checked-out and
that i need
to enable blah blah blah. i can't just check everything in
because A.
that would take forever and B. the "person" who has them
checked out is
actually me, from a previous site definition that is now gone
because i
had to recreate it.
unless i'm missing something (and i've been spending some
time looking
for it), there doesn't seem to be a way in Dreamweaver (at
least in
version 8, which is what i have) to search for files on the
remote view.
and even if there was, it doesn't look like the remote view
displays
hidden files, i.e. .LCK files.
my server control panel does give me the option to search for
files
using the file manager, but it only searches the folder you
have
selected, and no sub-folders. there are hundreds, maybe
thousands of
folders on this thing, and it would really take a long time
to click on
each and every folder, search for the .lck files, and then
delete them.
so, my question is, what would be the best/easiest way to
find and
delete .lck files (or really, any file for that matter) on
the remote
server?
thanks!

i do NOT want check-in/check-out enabled. i'm trying to get
rid of it
altogether, but i tried selecting the checked out files to
check them
back in, and it said there were none.
there is no "unlock" option, so i guess i need to pick check
in. but
here's my question, since it's this other instance of "me"
that has them
checked out, will this work? it's not recognizing me or my
computer or
whatever as the person who has them checked out. i think it's
because i
had to recreate my site definition about a week ago or so,
and i deleted
the old one. so it's like a user that no longer exists has
them checked out.

My Java File gets a .LCK file attached - do not want it there

I have a couple of Java files. When I go to compile them the IDE will not enable the compile option from the drop down list. I found there is a .LCK file in the same directory with the same name as my File..
IE if my file name was Basketballs.java there is a .LCKBasketball.java
When I erase the file from the directory it allows me to compile it but once I compile the file it creates a new .LCK file and the whole problem starts all over again.
What must I do to stop this .LCK file from being produced so my file does not get locked from use.
Or is this a silly virus that somebody put on my computer?

This is a question the should have been asket at the unidentified IDE's website. It does not involve Java.

Hiding Flash files in one icon

Hello,
I'm a newbie to this forum and a novice at Flash, having used
the program for 3 years now. I was always interested in the
creative and design quality level people have taken, using Flash,
so that's why I took a class in the program during college. I never
thought I would ever use Flash again because it was and still is a
difficult program (I've learned it takes A LOT of patients and hard
thinking to work), but I enjoyed what could be produced once I got
through the hard, tedious stuff. So, that's my story....
Of course, I have a question to bare.
I just finished a slide show/movie of art pieces for client.
Now, I want to save it as a CD-ROM file. Having taken a class in
Director MX as well, it was very similar to Flash MX (this is the
version I produced the slideshow/movie in) and I barely remember
one of my projects where I had to create a Director movie and save
the files in one icon (did that make sense?). In other words, with
the numerous files that were produced from my movie (like in Flash
where you have various saved scenes), I had to create one icon that
would hold the files, so that the end user would only see that icon
(instead of the various files) and click on it to start the movie.
I guess you can say it was more of hiding the files in a icon. This
is what I'm trying to do with my Flash slideshow/movie. I have the
swf. file that has the complete slideshow/movie, but I'm not sure
if this is enough or do I have to go through a process to create a
icon to open the slideshow.
Hope all that I've written made any kind of sense and any
help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes you want all the files into one EXE right ? i.e one ICON.
You can use FlashJester Jugglor and hide all the other files
into the
Additional Files section in Jugglor.

Hiding of files in mobile

Hi we are developing an application in J2ME where the files can be hidden in mobile. So please can you suggest some API or any other source where i can find some clue.
Thank you

Just use RMS, and only your application will be able to access the data.
If you're talking about hiding existing files, Java ME isn't the right platform for that.

LCK files being created with PAK files when processed through ODDC

I'm encountering a problem where after commit of a batch in ODDC the files are transferred to the server, but the PAK files are accompanied by a LCK file that is preventing the Distributed Document Capture service from picking them up and processing them. This started occurring after ODDC Patch 4 (14538424) was applied. I'd blame the patch, but not all users encounter the problem. Users encountering the problem are using Win7 and IE9. That said, users that don't encounter the problem are using the same OS and browser. Has anyone encountered this before? What was the resolution? I suspect it's a browser setting, but haven't identified it yet.
Thanks

I stumbled on a link in the oracle forum which says that the "create or replace package XXX" at the start of the PL/SQL procedure when run seems to intermittently cause the ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded problem.
As per the solution suggested an “alter package XXX compile" can be executed after the changes are made and then we would no longer get the error in BPEL/ESB and dont have to bounce the server too.
__http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=185762_
However the above solution does not seem to resolve the issue.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Over-riding .LCK files on Inherited Website

Is there any way of over-riding .LCK files?
I’ve recently been given access to administer a
department webpage at a university and defined a site on my
computer - but when I accessed the server's directory I found the
.htm files have the .LCK extension. I was able to download the
files but am prevented from uploading any files. The original
webperson has left and no one has any information.
I was checking the archives and see that the .LCK is related
to Dreamweaver's "check-in/check-out" feature which allows tracking
of files when working in groups. But since I'm now become "the
group", how do I over-ride this feature so I can work on the .htm
files?
~CK

Just delete the lck files on the server as I mentioned
before.

.lck files not automatically deleting

We save all of our .fm book and chapter files to a central server, and recently we've noticed that when we close a file the .lck file does not automatically delete. Thus, we are having to manually delete this before updating books, opening files, etc. We're using FM8 on PC's with Win 7 x64. We have FM set to run in XP x32 compatability mode, which is working pretty well for us aside from the aformentioned issue.
Has anybody else run into this? Any ideas on a fix?
Thanks! Scott

Do the lock files actually still exist?
If you're discovering them because FM is complaining on open, then yes they effectively still exist (although possibly only in server FS cache).
But if you're merely seeing them in a file browser, they may or may not be there. Doing a refresh may or may not clear up matters,
Browser currency is a fundamental, and probably intractable, problem in computer science. Many OS'es don't even attempt to keep track of multiple local and remote browsers that presently have a dir open, much less asynchronously force-refresh them when the dir contents change. Windows tries to, with an assortment of performance, nuisance and failure modes.
I blame Bill Gates.
Reboot the server .

HUNDREDS of .LCK files

Hundreds of .LCK files are appearing on our server - most of
them with Hidden file attribute set. The CPS log shows all these
entries, typically by a single user, at a very specific date and
time - seems to be when the user is trying to publish a file.
Anyone know what is causing this? I can search/delete them in the
file system, but I want to know the cause.
Also, other symptoms we are experiencing are "Access Denied"
and "Contact System Admin" when other users try to publish. Also, a
".new" is appended to the filename when this error occurs. Only way
to fix this is to rename the file in the file system.
I have a mixture of Contribute 3.11, Contribute 4.0 and
Dreamweaver 8 users. I have CPS version 1.1.
Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated!!!!

I'm not sure I have an answer for you on this, but I assume
you know that the LCK files are how Contribute locks the actual
files on the server to prevent 2 folks from editing the same page
simultaneously. That being said, the LCK system kicks into gear
when, at least for us, the administrator (who is in DW MX) has
enabled the "Check In-Check Out" functionality for the site. The
administrator gets messages in Contribute when a page is "locked"
by a page author (meaning they are currently editing the page, have
clicked "Save For Later", have clicked "Send for Review" or have
exited Contribute without "disposing" of their draft in one of the
above methods). Make sure folks are either publishing their drafts
or "disposing" of them in one of these ways so that the locking is
not occuring accidentally.
Aside from that, the LCK's are normal and go away when a page
is published. It's possible that you may have enabled the approval
system "Send for Review" and this is starting to tie things up (you
should probably have a lot of concurrent emails being sent as well
in this case).
As to the other errors you're getting, sometimes we get those
too, and yet we are able to just close the error box and things go
as intended. Other times not, and I think the whole thing is
related to how much traffic the CPS server is handling...we tend to
get more errors when things are really busy.
Again, not sure if this was helpful, but maybe just some
things to consider!

.lck files

Hi, there are several .lck files that have been generated
between Dreamweaver and Contribute. Is it safe to delete these
files on the server?
Thanks...

I think that in general, the answer is yes with a caveat. If
a user has
been in the process of updating the file that is locked, I
believe that
all changes previously made and not published will be lost;
but you can
wind up with different versions of the file on the local
machine(s) and
the server.
It has been my experience that this problem occurs when the
user has
been updating the content and screws something up and simply
"x"'s out
rather than Canceling the edit or forgets to check in the
file that has
been checked out.
The best long term solution is for the users to be educated
in the
"check-out", "check-in" and "cancel" functions in DW and
Contribute.

Hiding specific file extensions

Finder lets me choose between showing or hiding all file extensions, but is there a way of selecting which extensions to show and which to hide?
I'd like to be able to see all my document files' extensions, but I don't need to see my application extensions.
Thanks in avance
Mariano

You can change individual file attributes, such as showing the file extension with "A Better Finder Attribute" from http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderAttributes/index.html
I have used this program to mask all the file extensions for over 20,000 files that I transferred to my iMac from my old PC.

Delete LCK files??

I have a bit of a muddled site at the momnet - heaps of files
checked out
that users didn't bother to check back in. Can I just go to
teh server and
delete all the LCK files to start fresh again??
Any advice appreciated.

If you remove all the LCK files, then you run the risk of
version conflicts with the local drafts. However, if that doesn't
matter and all the edits will be started over from scratch using
the live pages, deleting the lock files shouldn't cause too many
problems.

Showing/Hiding Hidden Files

Hey I was trying to fix a problem with my Macbook and turned on hidden files by typing a command in Terminal. Now I want to switch off showing hidden files. How do I do it?

Hey Reverie,
There is a much better alternative, instead of opening terminal back and forth for showing and hiding files, why not create a keyboard shortcut for it? Yes, it's possible. and the good thing is that every time you do it, it updates the Finder window automatically unlike the Terminal procedure you need to open or update the current Finder window.
Use Automator to add the shell script and manually add a new keyboard shortcut hot keys in System Preferences...
I have a blog tutorial for a more detailed instruction

Google Indexing mno.LCK files help

Hi all is there any way to prevent google from indexing the
check in/check out files ie mno.LCK, as I have a big site that uses
this facility and these pages are getting indexed which is not
good.
I need some way of preventing this without having to use
robot text for every single file as it would take forever. Is there
a way I can add robots text to disallow all this files from getting
indexed in one hit.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me
Cheers
Gary

Hello,
You can block file types by adding this to your robots.txt:
User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /*.mno$
Disallow: /*.LCK$
Take care,
