How can you hide file extensions?

Hello i have a ton of pictures in seperate folders with the extensions .JPEG and i really hate that it shows. I have tried going to the finder and unchecking the show all file extensions, but it does not fix that issue. I also saw this in another topic but i haven't been able to understand it.
Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and paste in the following:
tell application "Finder"
set extension hidden of every file of entire contents of (selection as alias) to true
end tell
Select the folder enclosing the documents in the Finder, and press the Run button in the Script Editor. If they are enclosed by multiple folders or are at different levels in the folder structure, select the first folder which encloses all the documents.
(22397)
I don't know if it still works. Im also not sure where i put the folder. I have tried programs but they take away the extension and make the picture not open up then.
Please if you can help

yes i found it, but this is how i enter it i dont think its right:
tell application "Finder"
set extension hidden of every file of entire contents of (selection as alias) to true
end tell
/Users....
then i get Syntax error "/"

How can I hide file names in a photostream?

How can I hide file names in a shared photo stream on icloud. I don't want people to see how many pictures I take at an event. Can this be done to pictures already posted?

The Shared Photo Stream uses the filename of the original image file as the title that is shown in the stream. If you want to hide the original filename, export the image to a folder in the Finder, rename it, then reimport it to share it. You can rename the files directly when exporting.
Or, if you do not mind to change the names of the originals in Aperture use the command "Metadata > Batch change" and change the title of the image, with the option "Apply to Original file" enabled and "Add metadata from" set to "None".
To rename the photos already shared, delete them from the Shared Album and share them again.

How can you hide a Continue button until all clickboxes are clicked?

I have seen similar questions to this one, but none seemed to be the exact situation as mine.
What I have: Several images on a screen. When a user clicks an image it is replaced with another image. I am using clickboxes for this task. I do not wish for them to toggle back and forth. Once they click the original image it should stay changed.
What I am trying to do: Once a learner clicks all the images (in no particular order) a Continue button appears that allows them to go to the next screen.
If anyone has some suggestions on this situation please let me know, thanks.

I cannot log in on the forum for the moment, so will try by answering by
mail. I was aware of that problem (have presented those solutions so
often), thought that since you left all images visible once the click box
was clicked it wouldn't be a problem.
Two possible solutions:
   1. Easiest one: add a statement in the Always decision that will Hide
   the click box just clicked. It has no sense to click it another time. That
   will mean that you still can do it with a shared action but that shared
   action will have two parameters now, the second one being the click box
   that has to adapted on each application of the shared action.
   2. If you don't want to make the click box hidden (which means at the
   same time disabled), you'll need a user variable for each click box,
   starting with a default value of 0, and toggle it in the Decision 'Always'
   to 1. The second decision will then need a condition that checks the value
   of all the user variables (with AND) and shows the Next button only when
   all variables have the value of 1.
Sorry, but have to mail, cannot offer a screenshot in that case.

How can you share files from saved on your mac os to windows?

I recently added Windows 7 Ultimate into my MacBook Pro just a few days ago using Bootcamp. I'm just wondering if I can share my files, like any videos, documents, or such things, saved in my MacIntosh drive (or wherever I saved my things into) and somehow open it back up in my Windows. Is it possible? And, how can you do it if it is?

When transferring a project from one computer to another,to stop errors such as these, its essential to ensure that the project is copied with all the files and folders in exactly the same locations. Also before opening the project on the new computer, you need to set up a new project and set all the preferences to be exactly the same as on the first computer. Then when you open the project, premiere will find all the files in all the right places. Even then you may need to re-link some files. Just follow the prompts when Premiere asks "Where is file...."
We use USB hard drives to store students projects on and they are used on many different computers without problems, as the preferences are all set to be the same.

How can I hide the extension in multiple pdf files?

I make a lot of PDF files and would like to know if there is a way to hide the extensions without using the 'Finder - Preferences - Advanced' tick box method. It is very time-consuming doing this for every file.

Thanks for the speedy replies.
The 'show extensions' box was not being ticked between uses.
I make PDFs with several applications. I did not know that extensions could be hidden at source. Now I can do that with some applications, but not all, thanks to VikingOSX.
The number of extensions to hide is now reduced and I will do this with one action, thanks to Linc Davis. (Why did I not think to try this key combination?)

Can you create file extensions?

Does anyone know if u can create file extensions to read and write from using java? If so can u tell me how or reccomend something that might help teach me?
Thanks
Mike

yeah, i'm pretty sure you can use the java FileInput and printStream classes to make a new file, i mean as long as the file contains a text base, the extension really doesn't matter

How can I hide files on an external drive?

Hello.
I'm not sure if my subject line is even accurate for what I'm trying to do. Basically, I have 2 external hard drives connected to my MacBook Pro. On one drive, I have about 65 GB of audio files that I use for my music work. On the other drive, I would like to have those files backed up, but I don't want OS X to try to use the files from that drive. Is there a way I can lock them so they're there only as a backup?
Thanks you!

Hi,
The only easy way I have found to hide files on my Mac is to use a widget called "Abracadabra". It basically adds a "." to the front of a file or folder name to hide it.
That may not be what you are looking for.
What are you using to back up your audio files? Carbon Copy Cloner or similar? If you have your Volume name for the backup drive named accordingly, you shouldn't have any issues. I have a few folders I back up to a volume I call "Audio Backups". These are just VST's I really don't want to reinstall if I have a failure. I run CCC every time the VST's get an update. Logic always uses the original copy though.
I guess I don't understand why you feel you need to "hide" the back-up.
The other option is to use Time Machine I guess if you are on Leopard.

How can you create files in iCloud

I have iDisk now with multple files and this runs out in 2012. How can i transfer all my files to iCloud? Thanks...

You can't. iCloud has no iDisk-like functionality for storing arbitrary files.
Dropbox is among the best alternatives to iDisk, and improves on it in many ways:

How can you hide folders?

Everytime I plug in an external drive or flash drive I always see the 'recycled' folder for that drive..and sometimes other annoying folders I do not wish to see...Does anybody know how I can 'hide' these folders..as deleting them only brings them back the next time I plug in the drive..
hmmm...

Open the Terminal and type (or paste) this:
chflags hidden
(Note that there's a space at the end... make sure that's there.) Next, drag the folder you want to hide onto the Terminal window. Finally, press return to execute the command. The folder should be hidden, though you might need to unmount and re-mount the drive to see the change.
If you ever want to reverse it, do the same command, but change "hidden" to "nohidden"... of course, you won't be able to see the folder to drag onto the Terminal, so you'll have to enter the path manually. If you're not well-versed in Unix and how file paths are structured, you may want to copy the path from the first command and store it somewhere for future reference.

How can you hide the parameter in Crystal XI

I have three parameters but I would like to hide the 3rd. How should I do that?
ST

It is not possible to hide parameters in crystal XI. Once it is created you should enter all the parameters in order to run the report. In CR2008 you have a new option optional parameters in which you can run the report without entering any parameter value but here also you cannot hide the parameters but you can run the report without entering parameter values.

How can you get File/Folder information?

Hello,
I'm a Windows XP/Vista convert. One thing I liked about XP and Vista is how you could simply point to a file, hover the pointer over it and it would tell you information about it. Also, in the status bar it would tell you the total amount of space occupied by all the files in a folder.
Is there a way to get this same functionality in OSX? I haven't upgraded to Leopard just yet, but I wonder if it has this functionality built into it. Very simple features, but can 10.4.10 or 10.5 do either one? Or is there a simple utility that will give this functionality to the Finder?
Also, what's the BEST file manager for OSX out there? I use PowerDesk in XP quite a bit, is there something similar out there for the Mac?
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks, but I meant to add, is there some way to get this information other than the way you've outlined? I like how Windows handles it, either by displaying it in the status bar or showing a bubble/popup by just hovering the mouse over the icon. Please tell me that Leopard will do this. I mean, that seems like a VERY basic feature that, well, just makes sense to me. It shouldn't be anymore difficult than that.
Is this addressed in another way in MacOSX?
Thanks,
Jeff
