Howto exclude file types from recent documents
I'm using a recent documents stack but it will display a lot of garbage, so the real documents i' want to see there disappear quickly. for instance it would be useful to exclude access to:
- system properties
- zip, tar, tgz, rar etc kinda files
- dmg
etc...
Is there a way of setting up which file types i want to keep there and which files i don't want?
thx

Change file type from BINARY DOCUMENT to QUicKTIME VIDEO?
Hi,
I'm using Bridge CS4 to help catalogue my Quicktime videos (captured via FCP into a capture scratch file) and for the most part it works well. The problem is it seems to list in the "type" column many of the videos as BINARY DOCUMENTS instead of QUICKTIME VIDEO which means I can't play or scrub through them in the preview window. Instead they appear as a single static frame. They still open up into a playable video though when double clicked.
Adding or removing the extension .mov seems to have no affect.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get them back into being recognized as QUICKTIME VIDEO?
Thanks!Ooops, I just found the solution. Right-click on clip and select "Purge Cache For Selection", it changes all clips back to the right type.

Hello All,
I have some music files that are continuously being added into subfolders within a main folder that was specified as excluded from back up in Time Machine. The subfolders are being backed up as new files anyway.
Is there a way to exclude certain file extensions from being included in back ups in Time Machine? I do not want any of the music files backed up. The Time Machine program is the newest version ( ignore my OS below, this is for a new macbook pro)
Thank you,
Jane
PS. If anyone needs someone to write really long sentences that are almost understandable, please let me know. It is my speciality.Dan, thanks for your response. Didn't the blocking just stop the file type from being optimized, not actually stop the file being uploaded/downloaded between sites. I found this useful, for example, when users want to download a already compressed file (.zip for example), it actually increases in size with the WAE devices, I was planning to use file type blocking to ensure that the WAEs left these files alone.

Hi,
Is there any standard method to get a file type from file name?
File name can be C:\test.doc or C:\test(test is file) i.e. with or without file type extension.
...NaddyYou can use the Function module PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME
export paramter extension will tell the type of file
Sample Output

Upload/Download file to/from a document library in a SharePoint online site
Hi,
I am referring to the below blog for Upload/Download file to/from a document library in a SharePoint online site.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rohitpuri/archive/2007/04/10/upload-download-file-to-from-wss-document-library-using-dav.aspx?CommentPosted=true#commentmessage
I would like to know if this is feasible with a SharePoint online site.
If feasible, how can I resolve the below exception I am getting while using the code.
“The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden”.
Thanks,
ThananHi,
Actually what I am trying to achieve is the two things.
1) By using only the user's name, need to upload/download from/to the document library of SharePoint online site using the CSOM. (i.e., achieving Single Sign On / Windows Authentication)
2) I need to achieve the above only by passing the document URL; not by hardcording/ configuring the document library name in the windows application.
Can anyone pls help on this now?
[Below code is working fine. But need to arrive the solution whereas the above 2 conditions are not violated.
using (var clientContext
= new ClientContext("https://yoursiteurl.com"))
string passWd
= "password";
SecureString securePassWd
= new SecureString();
foreach
(var c in passWd.ToCharArray())
securePassWd.AppendChar(c);
clientContext.Credentials
= new SharePointOnlineCredentials("username", securePassWd);
using
(var fs =
new FileStream("fileName",
FileMode.Open))
var fi =
new FileInfo("fileName");
var list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Doc Library");
clientContext.Load(list.RootFolder);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
var fileUrl = String.Format("{0}/{1}", list.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl,
fi.Name);
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.SaveBinaryDirect(clientContext, fileUrl,
fs, true);

Getting the file type from a placed file
Hi
I am trying to get the file type from items placed on a page. I know the types available has one of the three interfaces "IImageAttributes", "IEPSAttributes" or "IPDFAttributes", but how can i test whether the placed image is a TIF, JPG ... Of course i could test on the suffix or the file type (mac), but that isnt "secure" enough, since InDesign can place files with no filetype or extension, if they are in an importable format.
What I want in short, is to read the filetype shown in the Info palette, any one knows how to do this?
JonThanks, I did take a look in these interfaces, but that didnt solve the problem for eps, pdf and other none raster types.
Instead I found the:
IDataLink->GetNameInfo()
Which gives me the string from the Info palette. -

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

I edited my raw image in Photoshop CS6, selected 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg. I also selected 12 and large file when the window popped up, concluding my 'saving as'. My computer does not recognize the file type and won't open them. Can someone help me? Thanks!
When naming files, stick to the letters of the ENGLISH alphabet, numbers and underscores. Do not use illegal characters like apostrophes, commas, asterisks, ampersands, hatch or pound signs, diacritics or accented characters, slashes, etc.
While the period (dot) is not an illegal character per se, your file names should have only one period and that should always be followed by the file type extension.

File Type restriction in Document of Records Attachments
Users have options to upload any type of Files PDF, JPEG, TIFF, docx in Document of Records. Some of the File Types would take lot more memory Space than others like PDF vs. DOCX/TIFF.
For Example same Employee Passport scanned as PDF may take only 10KB vs. 50KB when scanned as TIFF Image.
Are there ways to restrict File Types in Document of Record so that only PDF files can be Attached/uploaded?Thank you, Profile option is good idea to define overall limit on the document size. But Employee documents may range from 10KB to 20MB.
Simple 1 Page Certificate may be 10KB in size while a 20 Page Passport would be 15MB. The profile will have to be set at 15MB to allow users to upload Passport in this case. however that would not stop a user uploading Certificate in TIFF format consuming 100KB space vs. 10KB had it been done in PDF format.
User Hook sounds like the solution, Do you know the API used to upload document to Employee record and do they have User hook options? -
We are building a script to copy data from a laptop to our servers using robocopy, but we dont want to backup movie files and pictures. is there a way to have robocopy exclude specific file types?
Hi,
/xf <FileName>[ ...]
Excludes files that match the specified names or paths. Note that FileName can include wildcard characters (* and ?).
e.g. robocopy <Source> <Destination> /xf *.jpg

Hi All,
We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:
Copying files from one document library to another document library:
Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files:
In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.
Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
Thanks in advance

Aroh ShuklaHi John and all,
One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”, login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
library and tried to follow these steps:
From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
source document library.
From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
functionality not work working for our environment.
Are we doing something wrong?
We have referred to following websites.
we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

Please advise us. Thank you.

[CS3][JS] How to get the file type of current document
Hi,
How to get the file type of current opening document (e.g., tif, jpeg, png) using JavaScript with Photoshop CS3.
I am using file object the open the files one by one in the folder (the files sometimes don't have the extensions).
If the current document is in tiff format then I need to convert to 8-bit, if its an Jpg image then needs to ignore the file.
Regards,
KarthikDo you really need to know the file type? What about just checking the bit depth?
var doc = activeDocument;
if (doc.bitsPerChannel != BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT) {//Not 8 bit
doc.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
//do your save etc
}else{
//Ignore -
How to get the File-Type from a BLOB-Column
Hi all,
I have the database table with the BLOB-Column. In this column are Word/Pdf/Excel/... files can be stored.
Now I want to open these Files from Webforms.
I can download the file from database to the client and then open the file with client_ole2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application');
But I can not be sure that the file is a Word-Document.
How can I know which application is saved in the BLOB-column?
RegardsHi Francois,
thank you.
Unfortunatelly I do not know the interMedia functions. Can you send me an example with interMedia?
I am working with your solution with WEBUTIL_HOST.blocking.
But when I do not give the extension for the file, in that the BLOB will be temporary stored, I get to see the Windows "Select Program..." window. When I select Word or anything else then the file will be opened, but the locking does not working.
Any ideas?

When doing a Command+F search, can I EXCLUDE file types?
I need to find a logo called "5 Star". I know it is either a tiff or eps file.
I search brings 3000+ items.
Most of these are internet cache files, fonts and PDF files.
Can I EXCLUDE a file type when I do a command+F?
What happened to the "IS NOT" paramater in the find?
I see Name;
Is
Starts With
Ends With
ContainsYes. If you use "Apple Command -f" , you can specify all sorts of search parameters (see OTHER) in an exclusive manner. You can only use the parameter choices which are provided, but for example, you can use "NAME + contains" "star" with KIND as "other" and specify "eps." or ".tif." Or use NAME + ends with ".eps."
I am not sure where the exclusion AND NOT feature went. Each list of possibilities is associated with the pre-canned options.
