How do I protect File (read and copy only)

I have created a photo file that I want my kids to be able to see and copy( make an imovie or slideshow with)but not write onto. This way as I update the file with more pictures I can copy the new items over easily without creating copies of pictures. The file size is currently 250GB and to re-write the entire folder each time takes 8 hours and it might only take minutes if it only has to write the new pics. My hope is to be able to drag the file onto their drive and then for the system to ask if I want to replace or ignore existing files and just write the new ones. I want to be the only one that has the capability to do this. Help

If you control their Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts to have parental controls, you can keep that file inside a read only folder that you create for them to access. That's true for nearly every version of Mac OS X.
If you are able to boot into Mac OS 9 on any of your machines, you will have to setup those accounts to boot via Apple -> Control Panels -> Users and Groups to have read only folders.
Secure your account with a password that no one can guess. Birthdays, names, foreign language words are not good passwords. A mixture of consonants, numbers, and symbols are best, and at a minimum 8 characters.

What does your code attachment have to do with your question?
What are "other inputs"?
I assume you have an array of strings. You can strip the filename using get file extension. You can build an array using build array. Wire the existing array on one input ant the string as a second input.

File reader and comparing words

hi, im currently trying to create a project and i need a little help to get it started!
What i need to do is create an application which can read a text file. I also need to have a list of words already in the application, and if a word in the list is also in the text file, id like this to be printed in the terminal.
can anybody help me out with how to start this? ive been looking for relevant posts, and there seems to be alot of things on file reading and comparing words, but they r pretty difficult to follow and not really the same as what im looking for.
thanks for your help!

You can place a for loop within a for loop to to compare every word in the temp array with every word in the other array.
try {
String[] array = new String[] {"wow", "cool"};
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("text.txt"));
String str;
while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
String [] temp = null;
temp = str.split(" ");
for (int i = 0 ; i < temp.length ; i++) {
for(int j = 0; j < array.length; j++) {
if (array[j].equals(temp)) {
System.out.println(temp);
} catch (IOException e) {
} finally {
//Always close your resources in your finally block... good coding practice.
in.close();

I don't want other computers connect with my computer, I don't want sharing my macbook pro, so how I can protect my computer and avoid other people connect with my computers

As long as you do not enable Sharing of any kind (System Preferences > Sharing) no other computer can connect with yours. Also make sure you have your wireless network protected with a WPA2 password.
That's all I can suggest without knowing what OS version you are running (you are not running iOS as that is for iDevices).

How are the .7z files used and installed for photoshop elements and premier elements?

How are the .7z files used and installed for photoshop elements and premier elements?

Hi,
You can try to extract them to a folder and then try to install using the setup file.
Or you can try to download the .exe file ( Small File ) for the software you have and then run the .exe file and it will start the installation. Both .exe and .7z file for the application should be in same location.
Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
Download Photoshop Elements products | 11, 10
Download Premiere Elements products | 11, 10
Download Premiere Elements products | 9
*** You can either download the .exe file from the above download links or you can also download both .exe (File 2 of 2) and .7z (File 1 of 2) from the above links.

Iphoto - how are the photo files managed and stored ?

I am one of those who migrated from the PC to this wonderfull world of the Mac. So please excuse my PC based way of thinking.
I have many thosands of photos, (aprx. 8,000 +++ )
I used to organized my photos on an external hard disk and and I would create folder that would hold a group of photos; for example (A folder labeled "Vacation on New York" will hold all the photos for that event)
Now on my iMac, I could import all the photos on that folder and create an event on iphoto called "Vacation on NY"
The only question I have is where do those file phisically go to? Where are those files with their names and extensions? What folder or directory do they go to once I import them into iphoto?
I need to know this so that I could get a back up and know how to manage the files.
Also...
I would like to know how can I close all events at once.
Thank you in advance for all the explanations......

The files are copied into the iPhoto Library which is in your Pictures Folder.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
By way of explanation:
The iPhoto Library is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. This is to protect the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside?
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
To use an editor with iPhoto: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
To use the files in other apps, upload them etc
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

How to create a new account and copy all settings?

I think my main user account is corrupted. So I want to create a new account and copy all of my settings, files etc..and more than likely piecemeal just incase my settings are what is corrupted. That way I can isolate the problem.
I don't plan to delete the main account until satisfied and I also have my Time Machine backup plus my SuperDuper backup.
I can/should be able to figure out how to create the new account, but I am very unclear on the best/easiest approach to copy in my iTunes files and settings, applications(is this even an issue), address book, email, etc? I should be able to find most everything underneath my home account folders but what else am I missing here? I don't want to find out the hard way.
Please share some advice or perhaps a link/FAQ on how to approach.
Thanks in advance.

Bulk selecting and Copying only the raws to a file

HOw do you copy only the raws or only the jpgs to a file without clicking on them one at a time

The easiest way to do this is to open the folder in windows and search for all file in jpg by putting .jpg in the windows search box. Windows will produce a list of all jpg files in the folder. Select ctr button and the a button on your keyboard and all the files will be selected. Then copy and paste to whereever you want the file to be.
You can do the same for raw by putting the raw extension in the search box. (different camera brands have differnt extension for their raw files)

File movement and copying

Here where i work we use a software, whose files are stored on the server. But we also have a local copy of these files so that we can use the software when not in the office. Or when the server is down. The problem is, that many of my co workers are not very computer literate and the constant copying back and forth of files confuses them.
So I am trying to write an updater application. Basically all they would have to do is click a button, it would tell them whether there had been any important changes, and allow them to update by pressing a single other button.
I have the gui written, I have all the checks done, but i cannot figure out how to make Java take files in one place and copy them to another place. I would think this would be something that java is capable of. But as of this moment I am drawing a blank.
Any ideas?

Quick and dirty method is to use Runtime.exec() to execute the copy/move commands directly, though this is platform dependant.
Another way is to use InputStream and OutputStream to read the original file and write out the copy of the file.

How to get uploaded file name and path in BefExportToDat event script

I would like to get hold of the uploaded file name and full path in the event script "BefExportToDat", as I need to extract values from particular fields. However I have not yet found a way to do this.
- The input variable "strFile" returns the .Dat file path in the Outbox, to which it is about to export the data. This is no use to me.
- The API variable RES.PstrFilename is returning nothing
I am using RES.PstrFilename in the "BefFileImport" event script in a different FDM application and it works fine, however I need to find a way to get this to work in the "BefExportToDat" event script.
Please let me know how this might be achieved.

I am looking through the API calls in FDM Workbench, but cannot see the table (tPOVPartitions) you mentioned listed. Is this the correct name? And do I just use the function listed in the object browser to run the query?
Furthermore (going back to my initial thoughts of using strFile), it appears that although the variable contains the .Dat filename and path, the actual file is non-existent when "BefExportToDat" is executed:
Error:
Error: Export failed.
Detail: File not found.
This would make sense, but it does make the variable "strFile" a little pointless since one cannot make use of the file in this particular event script. Do you please have any thoughts on this?
