INCX file names gets mangled when transfered to Windows

When I export my InCopy articles from InDesign CS3, I can choose the file name BUT InDesign adds some of the text within the article to the file name.
If special Scandinavian characters is in the file names and we pack the files with zip compression, the file names gets corrupted and the editors can't check in the files to edit them.
How do we pack the files in a way so that this corruption does not happen. Yes, we can burn a hybrid CD-R but since we need to distribute the files over the internet, this is not an option for us...
/Dennis

Can't say I'm familiar with Scandinavian characters but could you give
us a bit more to go on? Like a before and after comparison of the names?
Does this happen if you're all working locally? If working remotely why
aren't you using the package feature?

  • File names get jumbled when using Add Folder to Library

    I have a set of .mp3 files created by playing vinyl LPs into a software sound recorder. Each of these is named with a number as the first two characters of the file name (the track number) and then the name of the song.
    I create the appropriate folder with the ArtistName and subfolder with the AlbumName in the Itunes directory and then copy the .mp3 files into the subfolder.
    My problem occurs when I 'Add Folder to Library'. The .mp3 files don't change, but the names of the tracks listed in the Itunes library are goofed up. There is no strict pattern, but mainly it shows the 3rd track having the 2nd track's name, the 4th track has the 3rd track's name, etc. I have to go back and rename all the tracks to make the Itunes Library match the actual .mp3 files. (I can tell they are mis-assigned by the file sizes).
    It might be a Windows-only thing, I'm not sure. Any idea how I can make the Itunes Library match its index to the actual files added when importing? Or is there some other technique I should use to import these .mp3 files?
    It is possible it is related to the fact that that initially the internal data in the .mp3 files merely shows 'Freecorder' for the Album and Artist in every file.
    Where can I report this as an 'official' bug to Apple?

    Actually, your suggestion was somewhat helpful. It wasn't the 'Freecorder' in the Artist and Album slots. But when I look at the properties of the files generated by Freecorder in Windows Explorer, it appears the internal file names are being mis-matched with the actual .mp3 file names, so it's Freecorder that's creating the problem.
    Interesting. OK, It looks like it isn't an Itunes problem after all. But it's easy enough to edit the internal properties tags (Windows Explorer/ Right-Click / Properties / Summary) before I add the folder to Itunes.
    Thanks.

  • Dot file names get truncated when pdf from INDD

    We noticed that if the setting in windows xp is "hide file extension for known file types" is selected any file name in INDD that contains a "dot" will be truncated when the pdf file name is generated. Is there any way that INDD can be modified to see a "dot" used in a file name. (such as st-809.4.indd)

    Don't hide file extensions? In my book, that's a bad setting, anyway.

  • File name gets renamed when imported to iTunes?

    Recently I've been using a program called 4K Youtube to MP3 to export files from my youtube channel. Since I won't be having access to the computer with the original mp3 files anymore, I started downloading files from youtube. Everything was going well, until yesterday, when I downloaded a set of playlists like I had always been doing.
    The problem I got was when I downloaded the youtube songs and accessed them through finder, they were named the same title as the video on youtube. However, when I opened the file and imported it to iTunes like I had always been doing, all the songs had been somehow renamed to DNBosarusRex, artist renamed to DJ Dream. I had only gotten this error after using a file renamer to get rid of things like [Free] from the mp3 file title, but even after redownloading I still got the same problem. Anyway to fix this?

    BUMP I'm also trying to do the same thing and also experiencing the same issues!

  • The words in the .docx (MSWord 2010) file are getting merged when the file is transferred to another computer for printing. What could be the reason?

     The words in my .docx file are getting merged when the file is transferred to another computer for printing. For eg. the sentence "rate of success ......"  is displayed as "rateof success" on the other computer. What could
    be the reason for this? How to solve this issue?  

    Have you checked that the document is using the exact same font on both machines? If the second machine doesn't have the font installed that's used in the original document on the first machine, Word will pick the closest matching font, and that may
    display slightly differently.

    Hi warengharding624,
    Based on your description, your issue is related about C/C++, since this forum is discussing about Windows Forms Controls, and I will move this thread to C++ forum.
    In addition,Could you share us what the type of your project is?
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • File name gets converted to upper case

    I am facing an unusual problem with Solaris 10. When I insert an USB thumb drive formatted with FAT to copy some file from the stick, some of the files whatever gets copied to hard disk get their file names changed to upper case. This is quite random, at least, I am not being able to figure out what pattern of file names are causing this problem. Any suggestions?

    Hi...
    you can translate the password in upper case before call bapi....
    translate psw to upper case.

  • Can file name get from partial field value ?

    Hi, Friend:
    I have file receiver with FCC, I used variable substitution (I have to use this rather than dynamic configuration, since there are multiple files created by multi-mapping), so the file name is pass via payload to adapter.
    In advanced tab, we can assigned to a variable like: payload:MT_XXXX,1,Filename,1
    Now I do not want full value of Filename, I just need part of the value of it.
    I will not consider an option of create another field to store part of the value, since after FCC, a blank line is created which is not acceptable by our integration partner.
    Is there any way to get it ?
    Thanks
    Liang

    Kevin:
    If you can see from what Madhusudana Reddy suggested:
    I created a node, saying "Tail" in end of structure, add one child node to it saying "Filename"
    Now in my mapping program, I can pass real file name I wanted to child node "Filename"
    In Variable substitution, I get the whole value of the node "Filename" when we naming the created file.
    In FCC, I used Madhusudana suggested, it would not created blank line when using  Tail.endSeparator '0'
    Hope this give you some hints
    @Carlos:
    Java Mapping is different approach which we do not want to go at this stage.

  • Hide extension in file name input field when saving?

    A few days ago in Photoshop CS6 I started automatically getting an extension in the file name input field.
    Previously, when I did a "save as" I got, for example "image01."
    A few days ago I started getting "image01.jpg."
    I have another installation of CS6 on another desktop and on that one I get simply "image01." That's the way is had been on this machine.
    This has nothing to do with file/folder options in Windows Explorer. I don't see extension names anywhere but in the Photoshop 'save as' input field.
    It is highly annoying because I process a lot of images and having to get rid of the ".jpg" wastes time.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    dg

    Thanks, everyone for your replies. Perhaps I did not explain this clearly.
    This change I experienced has nothing to do with Windows Explorer settings.
    Here's what the input looks like on my secondary machine and how Photoshop behaved on my primary machine until a few days ago:
    All that is shown is the file name: No extension.
    Here's what I'm getting now:
    Suddenly Photoshop in adding ".jpg" to the end of the file name. This happens in both 64 bit (my default) and 32 bit (I never use it but tested i)t.
    I have not changed anything yet, but could this be a Photoshop preferences issue as gener7 suggested? I made no changes to my Photoshop installation prior to this starting to happen.
    As an aside. I'm surprised people like having the extension in the file name. I have never found that to be necessary at all, since Windows Explorer shows the file type right in the window:
    And if you select an image it's also shown on the lower left:
    I use primarily .jpgs, .tiffs, and CR2 files and even without looking at the examples above, the icon alone tells me what kind of file it is.

  • File name getting changed while exporting file

    I am exporting file of name something like
    mithun.ruikar.111212.csv
    I am using
    response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=mithun.ruikar.111212.csv");
    to export my file.
    Now what is happening is on JSP i get download popup and even i can save the file
    and it shows proper contents inside.
    Only problem is (default) name of file is
    now changed to
    mithun[1].ruikar.111212.csv.
    If i am trying
    ruikar.111212.csv only
    then i get ruikar[1].111212.csv
    and for 111212.csv i get 111212.csv, which is right.
    So only when i use more than one . in file name the first . is preceded by [1].
    How to solve this?

    I dont have anything duplicate.
    as i said my file name is of format
    mithun.ruikar.121344.csv
    here last part is time stamp.
    and if use file name like 12344.csv or mithun.csv it works fine.
    My problem is having filename with more than one dot
    and there are no duplicates.
    I would like to know some kind of escaping for these dots.

  • Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

    I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
    I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
    It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
    I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
    Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences.  And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro.  I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

  • In Photoshop Elements 8-I want the file name to show when viewing Thumbnails and not just dates.

    In Photoshop Elements 8 i want to see the file names under the pictures when viewing thumbnails not just the date. Is this possible?

  • Retain file names in layers when importing

    Is it possible in Illustrator CC to import 40 files and have each layer retain the file name
    When I import multiple files each image layer is labeled <image>
    Thanks!

    Simply open the comp that is created when you import an AI file as a composition. You're making work for yourself.
    You are not understanding how After Effects treats assets. Each asset is the size of the asset with the anchor point in the center. Retaining layer sizes means each layer in the Illustrator file is imported in a folder as a separate asset the size of the layer. It's the same with Photoshop files imported as a composition.
