How do I shorten my file names

I have my catalog the way it should be but the file names seem to go forever. example top 45 copy 11111111111111.edit can I like turn them back to a simple file name I have thousands I need to do this to

Technical answer: yes, you can change your file names with large amounts of tedious effort; you will have to change each individually, using Organizer (not Windows)
Practical answer: It is not worth the effort.
Why does it even matter what the file names are?

How can I assign image file name from Main() class

I am trying to create library class which will be accessed and used by different applications (with different image files to be assigned). So, what image file to call should be determined by and in the Main class.
Here is the Main class
import org.me.lib.MyJNIWindowClass;
public class Main {
public Main() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyJNIWindowClass mw = new MyJNIWindowClass();
mw.s = "clock.gif";
And here is the library class
package org.me.lib;
public class MyJNIWindowClass {
public String s;
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/" + s);
public MyJNIWindowClass() {
JLabel jl = new JLabel(image);
JFrame jf = new JFrame();
jf.add(jl);
jf.setVisible(true);
jf.pack();
I do understand that when I am making reference from main() method to MyJNIWindowClass() s first initialized to null and that is why clock could not be seen but how can I assign image file name from Main() class for library class without creating reference to Main() from MyJNIWindowClass()? As I said, I want this library class being accessed from different applications (means different Main() classes).
Thank you.

Your problem is one of timing. Consider this simple example.
public class Example {
    public String s;
    private String message = "Hello, " + s;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example();
        ex.s = "world";
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
}When this code is executed, the following happens in order:
1. new Example() is executed, causing an object to constructed. In particular:
2. field s is given value null (since no value is explicitly assigned.
3. field message is given value "Hello, null"
4. Back in method main, field s is now given value "world", but that
doesn't change message.
5. Finally, "Hello, null" is output.
The following fixes the above example:
public class Example {
    private String message;
    public Example(String name) {
        message = "Hello, " + name;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example("world");
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
}

How do I get the file names on a customized proof sheet?

How do I get the file names on a customized proof sheet?

Actually, I really don't know what you say.
But when you see the properties of a file in Windows, you can see there are two file size. One is called "SIze" and the other one is called "Size on disk".
Therefore, I would like to know the size on disk but not just the size.

       gv_full_path_string TYPE string,
       gv_filename(100),
       gv_file_ext(3).

Ask user to select file with a popup :
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
    IMPORTING
      file_name = gv_full_path.
Get filename from path :
gv_full_path_string = gv_full_path.
CALL FUNCTION 'CH_SPLIT_FILENAME'
    EXPORTING
      complete_filename = gv_full_path_string
    IMPORTING
      extension         = gv_file_ext
      name              = gv_filename.
CONCATENATE gv_filename '.' gv_file_ext INTO gv_filename.
p_file = gv_filename.
I hope it helps.

How do i sort by (file) name

How do i sort by file name for an album? I organize the photos from all different sources.. by filename.. and when i import them i just want them in the right order. This has to be one of the most basic functions and why was it eliminated from iPhoto?
Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
Apple: this minimalist crap is getting old.. THIS IS A desktop PC..not an ipad or iphone. Put some meat in the menus and stop worrying so much about everything being pretty and streamlined.
C'mon!!!.. wasted time

Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
"Keep sorted by date" can only be toggled on and off for regular albums, not for smart albums.

InfoPath 2013: How to find the current file name?

Hello,
Is there any way to find the file name in the rule formulas when an existing xml file in a sharepoint form library is being edited in InfoPath? I am looking for a function that returns the current file name that is being edited.
Thank you,

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to get the current file name in the InfoPath form.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

How can I edit the file name of the home page?

How can I edit the file name of the home page?
Gr Ammani

I have a similar issue with regards to the filename...
When I navigate to my website, it doesnt work unless I actually type the filename at the end of it. Example: type in "www.whitelion.com" (this is my real domain name) and it doesnt work. When I type in "www.whitelion.com/index.html" then it works.
This is obviously inconvenient because my clients will never know to add the filename to the end of the site.
Is there any setting or way to get the page to appear by just typing the original domain name without adding the extension?
Thanks,
Emelia

How to find PG.xml file name and path assoicated with above funtion.
Thanks,

Ashok,
Function IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE will have 2 parameter defined for it which are OASF and OAHP where
OASF=<SelectedFunctionName> - this tells the Framework to select this function in the given "Home Page" menu context.
OAHP=<HomePageMenuName> - this is used ONLY with the OASF parameter, and it is used to establish the current menu context. It should point to a "Home Page" menu.

How do I get the file name?

I'm kind of new to javascript -- working with a colleague who has Adobe Acrobat Professional -- I've got an *old* version of Adobe Acrobat and most of the functions don't work -- but how do we get the file name -- we're trying to develop an application -- so if the user opens c:\something.pdf, we'd like to know the file name (something.pdf).
If we get a fully qualified path, that's fine -- I think I can parse it.
Thank you in advance.

The 'paty' property of the 'doc' object has been available since version 3.01.
Using the following in the JavaScript console when the Acobat JS API Refenece is open:
this.path;
returns:
this.path;

How do I find Album file names so I can restore?

I run Vista 64 Home Premium and back up using Microsoft's standard backup software to an external 400 gig drive. My HP hard drive failed. I sent the laptop to HP and they replaced the hard drive. I had to re-install all my programs, update patches from December 2008, etc. Then bring in user files from the Toshiba external drive. What I have difficulty locating are some album files from Photoshop Elements 7 that I spent hours creating. IF someone can tell me how to locate the files including where they are likely located that would be wonderful. Would they be in the same folders as my edited pictures? And how do I locate the file names by extension? Thank you for whatever assistance you can provide.
Robert

If you used the PSE Organizer and want to restore your albums, version sets, tags, captions, etc. you'll need to restore the catalog folder as well as all your photos. See the section "Manage Catalog Files" in this tech note for common locations of the catalog folder:

Windows shortens Font file name?

Hello, I just ran across what I believe to be an anomaly having to do with Windows Fonts. When I install a Type 1 font named OP______.PFM after installation, the file name, as it sits in C:\windows\fonts is now, OP_____.PFM. Yes, that is one
_ different then the original file name as it sits outside of the fonts directory. Windows appears to have shortened the file name during the installation of the font. We run SCCM 2012 and I wanted to know which PC's had this font installed so
I told SCCM to take inventory of OP______.PFM files in the Fonts directory . Nothing ever showed up in my reports so I've been beating my head against the wall for 2 days now searching client and server logs. Until I found out the file name was
shortened. I've since decided the % wildcard is my friend. ;-)
Anyway, I am posting here to simply find out if this is known behavior and if so, are there other places in Windows where file names get shortened?
Thanks for your time.

The most likely culprit is the font package itself. The font name is specified within the package and it would have been an error by the programmer, not a Windows anomaly.
