Huge number of files in the profile directory with at sign in the name

Hi,
I noticed that my wife's Firefox v35 running on Windows 8.1 32bit has a huge number of files like:
cert8@2014-03-25T19;02;18.db
content-prefs@2014-01-30T21;28;58.sqlite
cookies@2014-01-08T18;12;29.sqlite
healthreport@2015-01-20T06;44;46.sqlite
permissions@2015-01-19T10;26;30.sqlite
webappsstore@2015-01-20T06;44;48.sqlite
Some files are quite new.
The original files get somehow backed up, but I cannot figure out how. My own PC does not contain such files.
Thanks

I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.
BTW, did you post this from the wife's computer?

How do i go about deleting a large number of files at the same time? where's the easiest place to do it?

how do i go about deleting a large number of files at the same time? where's the easiest place to do it?

A bit vague as to what you intend, but the simple answer is to select all the files you want to delete then either drag to the Trash or CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the selection and choose Move to Trash from the contextual menu.

I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?

iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.

How do I generate the pdf file using the name of a field. How can I help

how do I generate the pdf file using the name of a field. How can I help

Hi,
here's a sample.
LiveCycle Blog: Formulare in bestimmte Verzeichnisse speichern und nach Inhalt aus Formularfeld benennen //Save forms to…

Downloading a pdf file, saving it, won't show the full name of the saving file when the name contains a space, stopping the file name.

Downloading a pdf file, the name of the file contains a space in the middle of the file. The name showing on the 'Save' popup is the first few letters up to the space. Works fine on IE8. For instance, a file named "old snail_12345.pdf" would only show "old" (ignore the "s). This is on Firefox 30.0, WinXP Pro.

Is this a problem when you are viewing the file in Firefox's built-in PDF Viewer and using its download button, or when you are using a download button in a web page?
I've seen this problem occur when the server is pushing a different file name than the actual file name (for example, the file name is pdf.asp?id=12345 but the server is sending the name Annual Report.pdf in the headers sent with the file). I'm not aware of a workaround for the user, but for what it's worth, it is easy to fix on the server by replacing the spaces with %20 (the standard substitution used in web addresses).

Found a swap file by the name ".bash_profile.swp"

I am new to Mac and trying to figure out why my .bash_profile is not working. As I read suggestions, I try them. Here is my latest issue:

(1) Another program may be editing the same file.
If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two

Quit, or continue with caution.
(2) An edit session for this file crashed.
If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r .bash_profile"
to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").
If you did this already, delete the swap file ".bash_profile.swp"
to avoid this message.
Swap file ".bash_profile.swp" already exists!

That is NOT a Mac thing, it is an Open Source Vim (which is often the default vi editor) thing. You will get this kind of behavior on any system when using Vim.
You can get this for 2 reasons. First if you are actually editing this file from another terminal session. Second, if the previous Vim editing session terminated from unnatural causes.
If you think it was from unnatural causes, then you select Recover. Save your changes :w and exit from the Vim :q
The next time you launch Vim for that file the .swp file will still exist, but this time you can choose Delete, as you have saved your recovered work the previous session.
If you are uncomfortable using vi/Vim editors, then may I suggest you try the nano editor. It will get the job done, but unlike Vim, nano is not as overloaded with features that take a long time to learn and master.

Where is the user.js file in my profile directory?

I need to use Rich Text editor for work in echalk so I can cut, paste, copy, etc. I followed your support instructions at mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html and http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles. I was able to find the profile directory, but there is no user.js file to enter the "allowclipboard" code into. Where is this file? I could not make a new one.

The mozilla.org page you referenced tells you ''if there's no user.js file, create one. '' The user.js file is just a simple text file you create yourself (e.g., with Notepad on Windows) that has a .js file extension.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file for details.

Count files in Directory and the number of files in each sub directory

Hello,
I trying write a method which will start at a root of a file and count all the files in that directory. Then count all the files in each sub directory.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FilenameFilter;
import java.io.IOException;
public class RunScan {
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          File file = new File("/home/robert/count");
          File[] files = file.listFiles();
          traverse(files);
          printfiles();
     private static int totalNumFiles = 0;
     private static int totalNumDir = 0;
     private static int filePerDir = 0;
     private static int subDir = 0;
     private static void traverse(File[] files) {
for(int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
if(files.isDirectory()) {
     totalNumDir++;
     printDir(files[i].toString());
     traverse(files[i].listFiles());
totalNumFiles++;
filePerDir++;
     private static void printfiles(){
          System.out.println("total files "+ (totalNumFiles));
     System.out.println("totls sub dir "+ totalNumDir);
     private static void printDir(String dirName){
          System.out.println("Total Files in "+dirName+" "+filePerDir);
          filePerDir = 0;

Hint: Google "visitor pattern." This gives clues how to build a re-usable solution that can you use for future traversals that do things other than just file counts. Here's a teaser of an simple interface:
public interface TreeVisitor {
* Processes a single file or directory. <em>Tip:</em> If you want to track the number of
* items processed, this function is the best place to update a counter.
* Implementors of this method should not throw checked exceptions.
* @param item The file or directory process.
* @param depth Number of levels below top of traversal tree (0 = top of tree).
public void visit(File item, int depth);
}

Ability to create a collection from a text file containing the names of the pictures

1 thing that would be very good is the ability to create a collection / quick collection from a text file that contains the names of the picture we want in that collection...
The reason for that is when i receive an order from a customer typicaly 100-200 different pictures (i'm a wedding photographer), i ask my customer to send me an excel spread sheet with all the name or number of the picture thay want with size & quantity...
I would like to be able to use that file as an input for a batch job that would add all those files to a collection "customer order" instaid od adding them 1 by 1... it would save me lots of time and would prevent some errors in the order...
I am currently able to do that with the help of a small utility (Useful File Utility) is the name... with the other RAW converter i use... Bibble

Well, it is workflow software, true, but it's really focussed on image development. What you're proposing would necessarily make the primary focus be on the business angle, I suspect.
If you're talking about tools to help customers sit down and pick what they want for manual processing later, that's one thing - but going the rest of the distance to order processing and fulfillment would be out of scope, at least in my view. The reason is that there is just so much room for potential variation in how this gets conducted that I can't see how Adobe could possibly satisfy every pro with one implementation. Even just dealing with all of the possible payment vendors is a hugely problematic area.
I agree with Don; a third-party plugin via the upcoming SDK might be a distinct possibility, particularly if it were for a "plus services" solution in which the plugin were designed to work with a specific fulfillment vendor. THAT could work quite nicely, and the plugin might even be free (in return for giving the vendor your business, of course).
In other words, it's not that I see it as a bad idea, it's just that I don't think it belongs in the "core" of LR. This is something that is best dealt with using the SDK so that differences in processes can be allowed for.

How to open a file, change the name and write file

Hi,
I want to open an existing .dat-file in Labview, manipulate the data and save this data into a new file with a different file name.
Though the name should be different I would like to use the old name and add something to it.
(In my programm the .dat file containes the date and time the data was
measured and I would like to keep this information in the filename.)
For example: the original title is file1.dat now I want to save it as file1_manipulated.dat
Is that possible? What is the best and easiest way to do it?
Thanks a lot
Chris

Hi Mike,
thanks for your help.
This will give me my path in string format. But to open a new file and then write my data into it, I need a path format (see right side of png)
Is that right?
I attached a png, so you hopefully get an idea where this is going. (I know this won´t work yet)
I open a file and this filename depends on the date and time the data was recorded. So I can´t work with a stringconstant.
Sorry for this beginner questions - this stuff is absolutly new to me.
Thanks in advance
Chris

Move files by the name individually

I use this script at the moment to move correctly named items from one folder to another and also copies to another folder.
A) make a copy of the correctly named image and place in dropbox.
B) 'move' the correctly named image to a temp image folder.(as backup)
The problem is that other files arrive during the script between A and B as a result those files only get moved and do not get copied to the dropbox.
I need this script to get a list of the files of the folder then process those specific files.
Many thanks
Matt
here is the script
tell application "Finder"
          set this_folder to folder (((path to desktop folder) as text) & "Hotfolder")
--set destination to folder (((path to pictures folder) as text) & "HotDestination")
          set DropBoxDestination to folder (((path to home folder) as text) & "Dropbox:Temp_Hotfolder")
          set LocalDestination to folder (((path to pictures folder) as text) & "TempHotFolder")
          duplicate (files of this_folder whose name does not start with "MJC_" and name does not start with "SH_" and name does not start with "ARK_" and name does not start with "5" and name does not start with "0" and name does not start with "Focus" and name does not start with "Untitled" and name does not start with "ZZ__5" and name does not start with "SE__5" and name does not start with "NN__5") to DropBoxDestination
          move (files of this_folder whose name does not start with "MJC_" and name does not start with "SH_" and name does not start with "ARK_" and name does not start with "5" and name does not start with "0" and name does not start with "Focus" and name does not start with "Untitled" and name does not start with "ZZ__5" and name does not start with "SE__5" and name does not start with "NN__5" and name does not start with "VM__5") to LocalDestination
end tell

To work with the same items, try getting a single list of files and then using that list for your commands, for example:
set theFiles to (files of this_folder whose name does not start with "MJC_" and name does not start with "SH_" and name does not start with "ARK_" and name does not start with "5" and name does not start with "0" and name does not start with "Focus" and name does not start with "Untitled" and name does not start with "ZZ__5" and name does not start with "SE__5" and name does not start with "NN__5") as alias list
duplicate theFiles to DropBoxDestination
move theFiles to LocalDestination

I can not figure out how to copy and paste, the instructions said to open the user.js file in my profile directory but there is no such file. How can I fix this?

I searched the site for a fix but the instructions weren't very clear about inserting files and lines. I could not find the user.js file and i was not sure how to create a file, but i could create a folder. Could I use a microsoft word file or what?

Does the number of file in the virtual folder affect the performance?

Will the ucm performance decrease, if I change the number of the folder is greater than 10000?

Performance will definitely decrease. The main reason for this is that when opening a folder you have huge resultsets that need to be processed. As there is no pagination (you see all the items in the folder on one screen) the 'pages' that are sent over HTTP can get very large/slow.
Personally I would seriously question your strategy. How useful is it to have a folder with 10,000 items?

Can't open files where the name starts with a number

On our network server, we have some folders where the files are numbered. Example:
1 - Memo
2 - Agenda
3 - Report X
4 - Report Y
5 - Report Z
We have 5 Macs in our office. Everybody can read these files fine except for one person. On her computer she can't open any file that starts with a number and gets the below error message. How do I fix this?
All our Macs (to the best of my knowledge) are setup exactly the same since they were purchased at the same time late last year.
