How do I hide the parent folder of the user home folders in File Sharing?

In 10.6 Server I would set the parent folder so that "Everyone" could not list folder contents, then set "Everyone else" read only. This prevented the parent folder from showing up in the list of available Share Points and allowing users to see the list of home directories.
In 10.8, this trick no longer seems to work. No matter what I set the ACLs to, the folder always shows up as a share point in the connection window. 2014 is the folder I've set for the Home directories of our network users (and there will be 2 more for graduating years.) I can set the ACL so if they attempt to mount it, it just spits out an error saying they can't view the contents, but that isn't reasonable. I don't want it to show up at all. The only thing the students should see is their home folder. Nothing else.
What can I do to make it so 2014 doesn't show up in the connection window? 2014 is the parent folder for the home directories, so it can't be unshared.

This prevented the parent folder from showing up in the list of available Share Points and allowing users to see the list of home directories.
That second sentence should read:
This prevented the child folder (parent folder to the home directories) from showing up in the list of available Share Points and allowing users to see the list of home directories.

Why do I have to go to the parent folder because the tag doesn't work?

If I click on a Tag, which has the identical URL (Tag "Location") to what resides in the Parent Folder it will not access the website. However, if I go to the Parent Folder and click on the Bookmark the website can be accessed. The URLs were copied and pasted so there is no issue as far as the URL is concerned.
It seems as though something interferes or differs when using a Tag. Sometimes I've tried recopying the URL as displayed on the website and re-pasting it in the Tag Location (URL). That works but only on a temporary basis. The next time I access the Tag I can't connect to the website.
Is this a website issue, or a browser issue? Can a website know that a Firefox user is using a Tag to access it and won't allow access, but will if access is done through the Parent Folder?

The "Parent Folder" is an add-on. Browse Add-ons and you'll find it. If you don't have it, add it. It has been a worthwhile addition. What it allows is to right click on a tag. A drop-down menu appears that say, "Go Parent Folder".
This has been enormously helpful in organizing and being able to find stored Bookmarks, especially if you've got a lot of them.
But something seems to be happening more regularly. When trying to open a website using a Tag it will time-out. It takes many tries to connect, but if you "Go Parent Folder" to where the Bookmark is actually stored the website usually opens immediately. Since both the Tag and the Bookmark appear to contain the same URL to be accessed it appears that something is happening with the Go Parent Folder Add-on or the interaction with the Tag and the Bookmark that won't allow connection to the website.
I'm no programmer, but this is where I'd look to try and identify the problem. I'm currently using Windows 8.1 and this seemed less frequent before I gravitated from Windows XP Pro. Many of these links I've had going back to Windows 2000 Pro.
I hope I've answered your question. This has become so annoying that I decided to take the time to comment about it.

Get the root folder name once user will upload any files to subfolder with in this root folder using sharepoint designer WF??

Hi,
How to get the root folder name using sharepoint designer WF? i have a document library with root folders and subfolders. so i am trying to get the root specific root folder name attaching with email once user will
upload any files to subfolders within that root folder.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to get the root folder name in SharePoint Designer Workflow when there is file uploading.
The “Path” field of the current item holds the relative path of a file, as a workaround, you can retrieve the value of the “Path” as string, then split the string
value with a delimiter character of “/” to meet your requirement.
In SharePoint Designer 2010, there is no OOTB action to split the string. You can use the custom workflow actions below to achieve it.
Here is a link about the related actions I use in this scenario:

Settings of workflow as below:
It works well in my environment:

My edits in LR 5.4 are not showing up on the photos in the parent folder?

When I open my photos directly from the parent folder on my computer the edits/corrections I made in LR are not showing up, the photos are the original imports? The photos in the parent folder are renamed as they were in LR. I'm almost positive the photos in the parent folder showed the edits and corrections prior to LR 5.4. Does anyone have suggestions?

That's the way Lightroom works. You will not see the edits you made in Lightroom when viewing your photos via your operating system.
To see your edits, you need to browse your photos in Lightroom, or if you want to see your edits outside of Lightroom, you must use File->Export in Lightroom to create an exported version of your photo, which will show your edits outside of Lightroom.

How do I make this Applescript dig trough All subfolders of the Parent folder?

Im using a script to batch convert a bunch of m4v´s to a set framesize, and im using this script with automator as a Finder Service. However, if theres a folder inside my parentfolder (Omkodning) with its own folder, it doesn't look inside that folder. Since my heriarchi is deeper then just one folder, this script isn't working all the way. How do I change it to search the entire content of my parent folder (Omkodning), subfolders and the missing part, sub-subfolders ?

Telling the Finder to get the entire contents of a folder will also get the contents of subfolders (unless they are aliases).
Note that the attached folder and the items that were added are passed to the adding folder items to handler in the this_folder and these_items parameters.

Hi Sundhar,
According to your description, you might want to check the existence of sub folder in a folder of a library using Client Object Model.
Please take the code demo below for a try, it will check whether there is sub folder in a given folder:
public static void createSubFolder(string siteUrl, string libName, string folderServerRelativeUrl)
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(libName);
CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery();
camlQuery.ViewXml =
@"<View Scope='RecursiveAll'>
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name='FSObjType' />
<Value Type='Integer'>1</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
</View>";
//camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = "/Lib1/folder1";
camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = folderServerRelativeUrl;
ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.Load(items);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Console.WriteLine(items.Count);
if (0 == items.Count)
//create sub folder here

Getting the path of the parent folder of a file?

How can I get the parent folder/directory of a file? I cant't find any actions i Automator that will give me this.
Will I have to do this through AppleScript? If so, then how?
Anders

Mine should work as a stand-alone applescript droplet (save it as an application) from Script Editor.
This code will work in an Automator "Run Applescript" Action after a "Get Selected Finder Items" action:on run {input, parameters}
set pathList to {}
repeat with itemNum from 1 to count of input
tell application "System Events"
copy POSIX path of (container of (item itemNum of input)) to end of pathList
end tell
end repeat
return pathList
end run
It returns an Applescript list of each path for all the selected finder items. I had to change (number of items of) to (count of) as it failed in the Automator workflow.
If your workflow will only process one item at a time, then this will work in the workflow:on run {input, parameters}
tell application "System Events"
set thePath to POSIX path of (container of (item 1 of input))
end tell
return thePath
end run

I have transfered my library my library to a NAS drive. How do I stop Itunes from creating the default folder on the local drive?

I've transferred my Itunes Media Library to a NAS drive, and pointed Itunes (using the advanced preferences tab) to the relevant folder on the NAS drive. I have done this to free up disk space on a computer I primarily use for work but which I use both at home and at work. The NAS drive is at home. (To clarify, I am not expecting Itunes to function at work, only at home when access to the NAS drive is available).
Under certain circumstances Itunes will start-up at work and when it does it will create the folder structure for the Itunes Media Library in the default location (on the local drive) instead of looking for the location I have specified (the NAS drive) which it should not be able to find when I am at work and telling me that it can't find it (which would be fine).
How do I stop Itunes from recreating the default folder structure and defaulting the file path to the standard media library location on my local drive? Every time this happens I have to re-point Itunes to the NAS drive location, which often requires me to reconsolicate libraries which is tedious and time consuming. It seems that in the process of one of these consolidations I have lost some of the media files. They are still in the library (ie. visible in the Itunes window) but Itunes can't find the media associated with that file - identifying them with an excamation mark "!".
Any help with this would be appreciated, as I have read several forums and threads, and despite trying several different approaches I have been unable to address the problem, which appears to be exacerbated by the laptop being remote from the NAS drive.

Can I put the ".itl" and other database files on the NAS, and if so where would I put them? I'm thinking that if the library file is only available at home then the ITunes library won't get corrupted at work when it can't find the media, in the event that I accidentally start up itunes eg. while opening an attachment or disc that can be read by Itunes.
iTunes will start up and you will have an empty library.
Can I put the ".itl" and other database files on the NAS, and if so where would I put them?
Yes.
Quit iTunes.
Copy the /Music/iTunes/ folder on the NAS.
Move the /iTunes media/ folder currently on the NAS into the /iTunes/ folder you just copied to the NAS.
Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the NAS.
You can delete /Music/iTunes/ folder on the internal drive.
If you launch iTunes while NOT comnnected to the NAS, iTunes will recreate the /Music/iTunes/ folder and you will have an empty library.
WHen you are again connected to the NAS, just do step 4 above.
Do you know what the advantages and disadvantages are of having the database files like the ".itl" files stored locally versus on the NAS?
Keeping everyhing together inside the iTunes folder makes it "cleaner" and simpler to manage everything.

HT1766 HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER?????

HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER????? because my c drive in the windows computer gets filled and i need to back up my ipod to a portable hard disk.. bt i dont know how to do it.. plz help

you can't change the backup folder as far as I know, but you can choose to move backups. The information you need can be found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
Hope this helps

How to get path or parent folder

Hello
I'm overriding method extendedPreAddRelationship on class S_Relationship.
My purpose is to check whether the document is being put in the correct path or not.
I can get folder name and document name using following code:
AttributeValue av;
av = def.getAttribute(Relationship.LEFTOBJECT_ATTRIBUTE);
S_PublicObject folder = (S_PublicObject) av.getPublicObject(this.getSession());
av = def.getAttribute(Relationship.RIGHTOBJECT_ATTRIBUTE);
S_PublicObject document = (S_PublicObject) av.getPublicObject(this.getSession());
What I need is the whole path (or at least the parent folder). Can I get path somehow? Or should I try to search parent folders?
Jaska

My purpose is to check whether the document is being put in the correct path or not.Hi,
I had a similar problem - I needed to compare the path of current folder with path from parameters. Because I wasn't be able to get the path of folder, I did it in reverse way, comparing the folders. To get folder from path I needed getRootFolder method, which wasn't in server-side classes, so I extend S_TieFolder class:
* Analogy of LibrarySession.getRootFolder().
public static S_Folder getRootFolder(S_LibrarySession session)
throws IfsException
S_Folder folder = null;
try
Collection c = session.getValueDefaultCollection();
S_ValueDefault vd = (S_ValueDefault)c.getItems("RootFolder");
AttributeValue av = vd.getPropertyValue();
folder = (S_Folder)av.getPublicObject(session);
catch(Exception e)
throw new IfsException(21020, e, session);
return folder;
In extendedPreAddItem method of S_TieFolder:
S_Folder paramFolder = (S_Folder)getRootFolder(session).findPublicObjectByPath(folderPath);
if( this==paramFolder ) ...

How to get the parent node of the current node?

Hi all,
i want to get the parent node of the current node and the not the parent of the parent node.
thank you very much

Hi,
the parent node of <subnode1-2>29.99</subnode1-2> is (node1), how can do to get <node1> throw <subnode1-2>29.99</subnode1-2> the sub node of <node1>.
As per my understanding the parent node of <subnode1-2>29.99</subnode1-2> is book not the node1.
If you want node 1 as a parent of subnode1-2 than your xml will look like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<bookstore>
<book>
<fathernode>Harry Potter</fathernode>
<node1>
       <subnode1>29.99</subnode1>
       <subnode2>29.99</subnode2>
</node1>
<node2>
       <subnode1>19.99</subnode1>
       <subnode2>19.99</subnode2>
</node2>
</book>
</bookstore>
and also if you want tom retrive float data than refer following XPATH.
"//book[[price='1000']]/price/text()"
