I don't understand hidden files

I am new to PE 9. I am trying to find a way to search for tagged photos and have only those that match the search to show up in the window. I don't understand why it has the option to hide the matches, I want to see only the photos that match but that is not an option. There must be something I'm not getting? The photos are in stacks and it still shows the whole stack but I don't want to scroll through thousands of pics to see which ones are a match. Help!!!

Recovery programs can only recover file that have beed deleted when the media space they occupied has not reused and written over. So if the recovery program did not recover your images. I would be willing to bet some of the space the image occupied has been written over. So it can not be recovered even though its delete directry enter can be read its data is no longer intact.
Without a system trace you have to rack your brain the remenber all you did. To get a clue to what wrote to your flash card. Its best to just copy file off flash cards onto your hard disk and remove the card from the card reader with the files still on the flash card. After processing your images on your computer its a simple quick process to format the flash card in camera.

Please somebody help- I don't understand binary files!!

I have binary files (.bin). They contain 2D arrays of data in I16 files. It does me no good to have a .bin file.
I HAVE to be able to view this data in a spreadsheet and I am getting very impatient because I have yet to figure out how to do this correctly. Everytime I've attempted to build a VI on my own, or edit the "High Speed Data Reader.VI", I don't get the numbers I need.
*What is a good way for me to get the binary file into a spreadsheet.
*Is there some other type of code/application I could link to in a VI to read and translate the .bin file?
I have Labview 6.1.
I am attaching a .bin file like what I need to convert.
THANKS!!!
Lauren

Hi Lauren,
There are a couple of ways to proceed.
You can open and read the file. It should be a string of ASCII representation of the values stored (weird characters). To look at them, place an indicator where you read the file. On the front panel, right-click the indicator and select HEX Display.
To manipulate the data, you can type cast it into as a integer... Then place it into a 2D array...
Better method:
In the Functions Palette, select File IO, then Binary Files vi, and place the "Read from I16 File.vi"
You can wire directly to the output called "2D array".
(much simpler than above). You can then wire this into "array to Spreadsheet String.vi"..
Actually, an example may be simpler to explain...
(especially on a Friday
;o)

[done] Vifm - show hidden files as default????

as the subject says...
How do I set in my vifmrc to always show hidden/dot files when vifm starts?
also, can anyone point me to somewhere on how to theme/color vifm?

I can't help you with the dotfiles setting (other than suggesting hacking the code); for the colourscheme, there is this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=91202
#edit The relevant part of vifmrc is:
# The regular expression used to filter files out of
# the directory listings.
# LWIN_FILTER=\.o$ and LWIN_INVERT=1 would filter out all
# of the .o files from the directory listing. LWIN_INVERT=0
# would show only the .o files
LWIN_FILTER=\.o$
LWIN_INVERT=1
RWIN_FILTER=\.o$
RWIN_INVERT=1

Don't understand: "the file [eg] 'Stained Glass l jpg' is offline..."

Hi there,
New to Lightroom 2; making some progress. I thought that I imported 800 images from either Elements 7 (that I have and want to use as Editor), or my hard drive--but I think there is something amiss. After I surveyed about a hundred images I came across a batch of about 60 pictures that I took of the new Opus Dei complex in NYC last November.
Well, after the 1st. image of the Opus Dei batch was labeled (right word?) "The file named 'Stained Glass L JPG' is offline or missing " I said, Shucks! and went to the next photo of the batch--then I realized that all of the images are inaccessible in Lightroom.
I must have botched the Import procedure, but I cannot figure out why lots of images are accessible--a lot of them are not.
Thank you.

Bill- If you go to grid view in Library, you can see easily what photos are offline or missing. Missing in this context means LR cannot locate the file. This happens when a folder has been moved or renamed outside of LR, i.e., in the Finder or Explorer.
The first thing to try is to locate physically the image file, then direct LR to it. It most likely is on the disk where it started.

How do I stop Windows 7 from searching hidden files and folders

In XP it was simple with the intuitive Advanced Search Options.
Even if you enable "Don't show Hidden Files and Folders" in Windows 7, they still show up in the search menu. A similar post included a suggestion by a support dude to post a question here. I've searched for every possible solution and yet something so simple appears to be non existent. Has Microsoft just lost its mind with omitting this feature? Is this something that will never be solved? Indexed or not, hidden files and folders still appear in Search.
Thanks

what have you setup in Explorer->Organize->Folder & Search Options?
Don't show hidden and Hide: Empty, Protected, etc. all ticked
if you have at some stage indexed all those system folders, and subsquently removed those from the index scope, then you may need to rebuild the index so those results are not presented by searches?
i've assumed that you are getting things like \windows included, and this seems to be typical. perhaps because some common tools like notepad, wordpad etc reside in those folders.
have you checked out the Indexing Options?
from memory, "don't show hidden & system" really only obscures the stuff when you're browsing in explorer. the indexing engine doesn't respect that kind of setting. you'll need to get your indexing scope worked out to affect the search results presented.
I'm not concerned much with indexing, it's just amazing that there is no option to stop "Search" from searching hidden files and folders when "Don't show hidden" is checked - the way it was with XP, etc. As I understand it whether folder is indexed or not, will not stop "SEARCH" from searching them. It was quite simple in XP but in Windows 7 it seems it is impossible.

Hidden fIles display?

I just go an iMac and connected a Maxtor external HD to it and a MuVo MP3 player. Everything is OK but when I open these devices the file structure shows me what seem to be Hidden Files....Resource Fork, etc.
I don't want to see that when I click on the HD. I just want to see the normal files without the excess pollution of visual space.
So far I have not been able to locate any preference which would allow me to hide these files from view...like Don't show Hidden Files.
Can someone help?

Neil,
This is why I like these discussion pages. If you take the time to look around and be patient you will generally find the answer to the problem.
In my case my Macbook Pro crashed unexpectedly and on getting it going again for some really strange reason there were hidden files from all corners of its Universe on display including all of the root files and even hidden files on the desktop. Really strange and I was in a state of panic having had to do a rebuild about 2 weeks ago and thinking "oh dear, here we go again". To make matters worse the program icons and/or shortcuts everywhere were kind of light coloured.
I followed a process described in the help files which involved using the "Mac OS X Install Disk" and navigating to to some deep dark place on the install DVD and finally running a "sudo" command. It didn't fix the problem.
Your script worked perfectly (once I had fixed the typos) and for that I am eternally grateful. I have saved a copy, just in case.
I still don't understand what happened to make all the hidden files unexpectedly visible but no doubt someone such as yourself would be able to offer a technical explanation.
Man, if I could award you a star I would.
Thanks heaps.
Chris

Yep, i just did it again. The entire scroll-bar widget, complete with formatted text, graphics, etc., pasted itself nicely in another book. Two different files, the same widget.
I use the scroll-bar widgets for most of my texts. (I have audio buttons on the side, and the scripts are within the widget, to the side). My only text is within widgets, and text boxes, naturally.
I am following your recommendation: cleaning files, etc. I am remaking the book anew. I need to convince the EPUB bot or whatever that my file looks and works nicely on all my devices. You would expect an error message when previewing the book: 'Hey Amigo, your file is flawed, stop working on it, and get back to the drawing board." Should be able to try again next Monday.

Don't understand "offline or missing files"

I was using Lightroom and set a preference so that I could try to edit one of the photos in Photoshop elements.
Now, when I open the folder that had that photo in it, ALL of the photos say offline or missing, even though the photo appears. If I right click on one of the subfolders and click "find missing files" it seems to find them in Photoshop Elements. When I choose Photoshop Elements, the folder just disappears! If I open Photoshop Elements, there is nothing there. I just don't understand!! I find Lightroom 3 very frustrating.

Once imported to LR, you must not move or rename any image-file except from within LR. What you see in the LR library is the cached preview. If you have moved or renamed a file directly with the explorer, then the file shows as missing. With "find missing files" you can re-link the file from its new position to the LR library.
What happens if you select "show in explorer"? Are the files there? With correct name?

Don't understand what this means I/O Error: import file

I'm building a website in dreamweaver cs5 with a XML doctype. When I tried to validate my css I got an error code I don't understand. This is the error: I/O Error: import file:/Volumes/Macintosh%20HD/Users/schweideltyson/Desktop/CS%2080_final%20project/gallery .html: Operation not permitted. Any suggestions? The only thing I can think of is that I imported some text for my index page from another website.

I keep getting this error message when I (right-click) on a photo file on my desktop to burn to a CD. I don't understand this code...does anyone? Thanks Ariel**:The disc can't be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x80020000).

I tried every obvious solution to this problem with different types of disc (-R; +R; -RW and +RW) and the problem persisted. Then I read about removing a hyphen in picture filenames. I renamed all the images and bingo there were no further problems. Apple should have solved this by now. This error code has been reported for several years and my MacBook Pro is quite new. Anyway, I hope this helps. It does work.

I get message:can't save library file not enough access privileges.Don't understand what this means?

I get message:"Can't save library file. Not enough access privileges" .Don't understand what this means. No visible effect that I can see now.

Classic example of why you should save your workm in progress...just hit Ctrl+s to do it on the fly.
Yes I know. But it is the first time I work with Photoshop on such a big project and I thought it would be more stable.. Do the newer versions manage the memory better ?
You can shrink your image down which will make it smaller enough to save
Not enough memory to resize the image. And in the manipulation, it would corrupt some of my layers..
you can try to save as a diffeent format
I could succesfully save in Bitmap format. But I lose all my layers info..
The making loads of screen shots would be good if it wasnt really an
option seeing as it would use even more memory to do that then put the
image together out of the screen shots.
I made screen shots without any problem. I saved them through MS Paint without any memory problem, while Photoshop in parallel was just used as a static image for snapping...

I don't have permission to view the contents of hidden files on my own Macbook Pro

I don't have permission to view the contents of hidden files on my own Macbook Pro.
Im fairly new to Mac and for some reason I do not have permission to view the contents in hidden files.
Can someone please help.
Thanks

Thank You everyone for their help.
Much appreciated
It is not good to mess with the structure of the iPhoto or Aperture Libraries.
You can access the image "files" from within the programs. Anything you would want to do with an image file you can do with the image in the iPhoto app itself.
If you really must get to the file, you can select Reveal in Finder from the File menu.

Why was there over ten thousand file in my "All My Files" on my new MBP. I'm very new at using ICloud. I don't understand syncing vs time vs time vs syncing! I simply have not idea how to manage my file now.

Why is there over ten thousand file in my "All My Files" on my new MBP. I'm very new at using ICloud. I don't understand syncing vs time vs time vs syncing! I simply have not idea how to manage my files now. I read short comments & how to's in the support sections, but nothing I've read so far explains"best practices" or turning iCloud off to get a grip on managing files. I have 250gb fast storage on the MBP itself, and 200gb in the ICloud, one would thing that's enough. The files seem too be multiplying like rabbits. IPhoto's Faces has created hundereds of "somethings" not sure what. I am sure I am very frustrated! Please comment with kindness.

Yes,I am confused. To say its just another drive is a "buzz statement".
OK, for example. If I download a document, song, or photo from ICloud, as I understand, it goes to Download in Finder. If I want to move it to a local folder of my choice on the solid state drive in my new MBP, does a copy always stay in ICloud? How do you housekeep? I have always used to a physical drive. What is different about the mind set. I used ICloud to store the contents of my old MBP. Once I download all the files I need, should I turn off ICloud and manage the file locally? I don't like the automatic movement of files when I don't understand the locations.
Nope, you don't understand it.
If you download a song from the iTunes cloud storage (which is not iCloud) it goes into the iTunes music folder (generally to a subfolder therein)
If you download a document from the iCloud drive it will go wherever you chose to put it.
If you download a photo from the iCloud Photo library it will also go wherever you choose to put it.*
If you move something you have not copied it, if you want to keep a copy on the iCloud drive and in a local folder, you would copy, not move it.
There is no 'automatic' movement, you decide what to store on the iCloud drive (exactly like any other drive) and what to remove.
The iCloud drive appears as a folder in Finder, you use it just like any other, copy/paste, save, delete etc.
You can turn the iCloud drive off whenever you like, download the content to a local drive first.
* Because the iCloud drive appears as a folder in Finder there is in fact no need to ever download anything to your Mac, everything on the drive is already on your Mac.

How to open the hidden files in the macbook air?

Hi,
I am not able to open the hidden files on my external disk. COuld you pleasee how to open?

Thank you
I deleted the whole disk. When I start the computer I press Command+R and appears the earth planet and all the networks detected by the computer. What I don´t understand is that I have a MacBook and an iPad beside the Macbook Air and both recognize the network, but the MacBook Air can´t.
I tried to use an external drive with the Macbook leopard OS but the MacBook Air didn´t recognize too.

Show hidden files in Finder

I've been ripping my music CDs into mp3 files using iTunes.
I recently bought an HDTV. It shows the hidden files on the flash drive as well as the visible files. When I try to play one of the hidden mp3 files, the TV tells me that the file isn't supported. Yet if I scroll to the right, the TV shows the visible mp3 files. I had to use Windows XP to show the hidden mp3 files on the flash drive so that I could delete them. After I did that, the TV displayed the visible mp3 files & played them. Today, I tried to search for hidden mp3 files on the flash drive using Finder. When I use the Terminal to show the hidden files, hidden folders are shown, but none of the hidden mp3 files are shown. Yet the hidden mp3 files are shown in Windows XP. The hidden mp3 file starts with ".01_" followed by the file name & ending with the mp3 extension. Each track starts with a different number. In other words, .01_, .02_, .03_, etc. I don't understand why I can see the hidden mp3 files in Windows XP, but not in Finder. The command "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES" apparently doesn't show ALL of the files. Is it possible to change the Finder so that ALL hidden files are displayed just as I can do in Windows XP? I shouldn't have to go to my PC so that I can see the hidden files & delete them & then go back to my Mac. (Windows XP is the only PC OS that I have. I don't have Vista or 7 or 8.) Or maybe there's a Terminal command that will just rip visible mp3 files in iTunes & not both visible & hidden files. Or maybe there's software that I can install that will do that. If there's no solution, then I will have to use Windows XP to show all of the hidden mp3 files so that I can delete them all at once. I sure would rather use my Mac for everything instead of going back & forth from Mac to PC.

Perhaps I should have noted that DesktopUtility is free. I wouldn't spend money for that functionality, either.
Me either. Didn't notice that one was free. Everything seemed to have a cost on the various apps.
I suppose that it doesn't make any difference whether I enter TRUE or YES, does it? And likewise, FALSE or NO?
Correct. True, Yes, and 1 all do the same thing.
For the opposite, False, No and 0 are the same.
I've also been told to hold down the "option" key & right-click on the Finder icon & click "relaunch". I suppose that it doesn't make any difference whether I relaunch or kill the finder, does it? If I kill the Finder, I reopen it to view the hidden files, right?
Also correct. Doesn't matter which way you do it. The Finder automatically relaunches itself whether you kill it in Terminal, or relaunch it from the Dock (which is really the same as kill then relaunch).
I did see ".DS_Store" on the Desktop, but I didn't see any of the hidden mp3 files on the flash drive.
Now that is weird. You should see all hidden files and folders on all drives. Unless the Flash drive is formatted for Windows (exFAT, FAT16 or FAT32) and OS X doesn't treat it the same way.
TinkerTool and Secrets are two more free utilities that offer easy ways to toggle hidden file viewing.
Yup, there's lots of free utilities to do the same thing. OnyX will also toggle hidden items on and off.

I don't understand hidden files
