How do i select the file extension type?

using imovie '11.
i've finalised a project and exported it. it automatically saved as a .m4v (itunes) file.
my question is:
is there any way to manually select the file extension when saving/finalising a project?
for example, i might be required to save a project as a .mov file.
thanks in advance.

Publish the movie on itunes then, drag the movie on your desktop. After right click on the movie icon and click get info. Go to name and extension and change the .m4v to .mov . This should work because, it works if you want to change from .mp4 to .3gp etc... This saves you time because you don't have to use a movie converter.
Best of luck Jono

How do I make the file extension (ie: .tif, .jpg, .eps) in OS 9.2 visible?

I'm trying to transfer files from an old G3 (OS 9.2) to a new G5 (OS 10.5.8). Most files do not show the extension in their name. For example, an Illustrator eps has the file name "layout_final". When I transfer it to the new machine, it recognizes it as an .EXE file and cannot open. If I type in the .eps file extension, where is now reads "layout_final.eps", it then opens in Illustrator. I don't want to have to resort to manually adding in the file extension to every file. Is there a way in OS 9.2 to automatically show/turn on the extension in the file name?
Thanks for the help!

How are you transferring the files ?
It sounds like you're going through some sort of Windows / DOS formatted media.
If you can network the two Macs together instead, do so.
If you can burn a CD or two on the Mac G3, do so.
If you have to use a USB stick, format it to Mac HFS Extended (aka HFS+) on either and use that.
The key is that if you transfer the files using something formatted for Mac, the file metadata should not be lost, and the files will appear on the G5 as expected, assuming that you have suitable apps to open the files in OSX 10.5

How do I specify the file extensions when opening a file in Labview?

When opening a file, the file open dialogue box appears with a drop down box called 'Files of type *.*
I want to only display files of type IPC, and I will create all my files to have this extension.
I have been using this technique in VB for some time, but I cannot find a method of doing this in Labview so far, can anyone help?

Use the function "File Dialog" and wire your type to "pattern label".
Hope this helps.

How do i put the file name right on the photo?

how do I put the file extension number or name right on my photo for clients to order?

Or put the file name as Copyright in Metadata and add Watermark (Simple Copyright) on Export!
A plugin called LR/Transporter could probably automate that. However, I don't think many people will want to do this once all usages of the image are considered!
So an export plugin called LR/Mogrify (which calls in the utility ImageMagick as an output processor) would be the next suggestion. This should let you put more or less whatever image parameter you want, onto the image as an automated label - also add borders outside or inside the image boundary, place the thumbnail inside a larger square canvas, a few other options. Then that can all be saved as a LR export preset for greater convenience and repeatability in the future.

Itunes 10.6.1.7 problem: when I change the file "media type" from 'Music' to 'Podcast' the file disapears from ITUNES. I do this via (1) right click, (2) select 'Get Info', (3) select 'options' tab, and (4) change media type. What is the problem?

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

Newbie stuck - how do I change the file type of a photo I am formatting from a TIFF to a JPG?

I am new to Aperture and struggling to figure out some of the basics, even with the tutorials. I need to submit a photo for an art competition - the master is a TIFF and I need a JPG under 1.8 MB - how do I change the new version's file type and keep it with the master?
Thank you in advance.

I can't recommend the method proposed by Carolyn Samit; in fact, I recommend ignoring it.
Aperture is large, complex, and can take some time to learn to use. It is also quite powerful, and can handle nearly all -- or all -- common tasks you throw at it.
I have written a very short guide to Aperture which was intended to provide some firm footing for those getting started. I humbly suggest that you start with a quick review.
One of the things that presents a bit of disorientation for new users is that, in practice, Aperture keeps your pictures in a kind of limbo. There are good reasons for this -- suffice it for now to accept that you import image-format digital files into Aperture, you use Aperture to organize and optimize these as Images, and then when need a file to use outside of Aperture, you export you Image. It is at export that you format your Image: you select the file type, the compression amount, the file name, the file size, and more.
In your case, then, you will export your Version, and set the file type to TIFF (recommended above JGP whenever quality is paramount). There is no way to know the file size in bytes prior to creating it. Start with a full-size TIFF and, if necessary, knock it down by percentage until the exported file is less than 1.8 MB.
There is no reason to attempt to keep this file with the Image in Aperture. Send it on its way. Any time you need another file from your Image, you can create it fresh via "File→Export→Version".
HTH. If it doesn't, ask more.

How do I add a movie from my laptop to iTunes, what should be the file extension.

How do I add a movie from my laptop to iTunes, what should be the file extension.

The extension is usually .mov, .m4v, or .mp4. But you can't just change the extension. The movies have to be encoded in a particular fomat. Anything downloaded from iTunes or plays in Quicktime player will be fine.

Hi Rashmi,
1. Checked the file extension is added or not to the search file types.
2. Checked file name has any invalid characters.
3. Resetting the crawl index and run a full crawl .

Yeah - I tried that, several times; each time I get "iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone" and after about 30 minutes the screen on the phone lights up again with the same screen I had before. After that ... nothing.

Mailexample.sql how do you determine the file type?

I'm using the mailexample.sql which explains how to use the demo_mail wrapper package for utl_smtp. There's a procedure for attaching text files and a procedure for attaching binary files. I've got binary files to attach to email successfully.
How can I determine the file type so that I can use the attach_text procedure when attaching text files rather than the procedure for attaching binary files?
Sandy

Watch out! I think there is a bug in that code :-
bug with PL/SQL Sample - maildemo.sql
To answer your question - the usual way of determining a file type is to look for 'magic numbers' in the file that indicate its type. For example, Windows exe files often (always?) begin with the two letters 'MZ'. Zip files begin with 'PK'; Rar archives begin with 'Rar!'. Text files can begin with anything, and do not have any characteristic marker, but USASCII7 (which is what the format that routine is designed for - I think), is a characterset that only uses the first 7 bits of the byte. You could read the file, and if you find any bytes > 127, then you know it is not a USASCII7 file. I have seen various programs that 'sample' the first 64 or 256 bytes of a file instead of reading the whole file, and they usually get it right.
Hope this helps.

How do I remove the file name extension form a 'file name' cross reference?

I have a cross reference which is refeencing another InDesign file using the cross reference format 'file name', however it includes the file extension. Is there a way to have this extension not display? Maybe a delimiter or perhaps a differnt format.

finding the position of the '/'instr() could do, -1 to start counting from the end of the string, then substr() to start with the next character after the instr() value ...
select substr( 'F1903848613/my_test_file.txt', instr( 'F1903848613/my_test_file.txt','/',-1)+1) from dual;

Pse 7 changes the file extensions, by using a -1 up to 6 times on a photo, how to stop this problem.

I cannot keep up with my photos, they somehow change the file extension by adding
a -1 over and over, how can I stop this process
to keep a single file extension?

I checked out the backup/sync, it is not turned on after checking. Also I do not have a second computer as a backup, I use an Esata drive of 1 TB.
I have a photo called Rose.jpg, later I try to open the file and it tell be its lost. I try to reconnect, no luck, then I manually try to find the file and its called Rose-1.jpg or up to Rose-1-1-1-1-1-1.jpg or Rose-1-1-1-1-1-1_edited.jpg. I do not understand what is taking place in my computer with my photos. I have about 17,000 photos and I am having a real problem.
Any help would be appreciated. sghmotorhome

How can I get a filename without the file extension?

I using a JFileChooser to select and read a file. Now I want to get the filename without the file extension
JFileChooser j = new JFileChooser;
String file = j.getSelectedFile.getName();
At the moment I get this result "file.dat". I need only the filename.....
Thank you
Thomas

It's quite that.
Here is the code to do that (and the method to get only the extension):
     public String getFileName(String text) {
          int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
          if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
               return text.substring(0, ind);
          return(null);
     public String getFileExtension(String text) {
          int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
          if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
               return text.substring(ind+1).toLowerCase();
          return(null);
     }(I used 0<ind instead of ind>0 because with the code formatting there is a bug with > )
I hope this helps,
Denis

How do I select the type of paper I want to use in iphoto11 on an Epson 2200?

You should have something like this:
Click to view full size
So if you don't see any of those printer specific settings you should reinstall the print driver for your printer as Larry suggested.
