Is .html a "better" file structure for SEO detection than .htm?

I like Muse...a lot. For my skill-set of having to be both the "web designer" and "web developer", Muse works TONS better than DreamWeaver ever did for me. (Maybe when Muse adds in the feature of being able to design a site that is completely responsive to any type of device, you'll change the product name to "Magic")
That being said, when I took a 3-year-old site that I had set-up on the domain using *.htm file extensions, and transformed it into a Muse site, I saw that Muse only allows HTML files to be saved with the *.html extension.
I have taken the proper steps to redirect all of the previous pages on the web to be the new pages ending in *.html. (I suspect it will take about a month or so for Google and others to "wash-out" the old filename versions and replace it with the new versions in their search libraries.)
My question is to wonder why it is that Adobe has decided to fix the page extension to be *.html? Is it a better structure for HTML5 and CSS? Do search engines "like" it better for some reason?
Just asking for education knowledge. :-)

It is a problem I have thought over at length and still feel what I use could be better. You are doing it the right way around researching before you start, as moving files once things are underway can course real problems. One issue is the use of similar assets across site(s), and version control if you have multiple versions of the same asset.
Can not say I have built a site(s) of that size but would recommend putting together a flow chart to help visualise the structure and find out better ways organising (works for me). Good luck, post back with your solution.

How to create a simple File structure for a large project?

Hi to all,
I've own and operated my own website design/development (a 1 woman office, plus many sub-contractors) over the period of 8 years. I started hand-coding HTML sites in 1997, before the creation DW (though I think the first ver was for Mac in '97). Over the recent years I've udated my skills to include CSS and enough Java/PHP to customize and/or troubleshoot current projects (learn as I go).
The majority of my clients have been other 1-10 person entrepreneur companies. I've recently won a bid to redesign a government site which consist of 30 departments, including their main site.
The purpose of this thread is to get some ideas on creating a file management/structure. Creating file management setup for smaller companies was a piece of cake, using a simple file mgmt structure within DW. Their current file structure is all over the place. I've read about a very good, simple file struture in a DW CS4 manual and wanted to get feedback on different methods that have worked, and have not worked, or your client:
Here's my thinking:
1. within the root dir place home.htm and perhaps a few .htm related only to home
    2. create the following folders off the root, "docs, imgs/global, CSS, FLA, Departments"
            - sub folders within docs for each dept
            - site wide css's placed into CSS
            - site wide FLAs into the FLA
            - sub-folders created within 'imgs' for each dept, including a 'global folder' for sitewide images and menu imgs (if needed)
- OR -
1. create same file structure for each dept folder, such as 'imgs/CSS/FLA/Docs'
Open for suggestions....
Ciao

File structure for downloads of music files

I just purchased and downloaded "Enclosure 5" by Harry Partch. This is a 45 track download. Innova has done their best to number the tracks in such away that they stay organized, but Innova failed. I have communicated my dismay to Philip Blackburn at Innova. There are three section to this work, so the resultant AAC files are listed in my library as 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3 and so forth.
In order to get this music to play in the correct order, I need to re-tag all but the first 13 tracks.
But the same material at Amazon has the samestructure in the .mp3 download as it does on the CD's. In fact, the downloads are listed as Disc 1, Disc 2, Disc 3. So, that is three folders each with its own files.
I think that iTunes needs to look at how it does this, in order to make organization in the library better.
RSM

Hi camoracer-
Yes to all. If you look at the "songs" structure for this album, Harry Partch "Enclosure 5", you will see that there are just 45 tracks, with no discrimination or tell-tale sign of organization. And, now, having had to re-tag them, I can tell you that as they sit in iTunes, they are nor in any porper order.
But, if you look at the same album in Amazon, you will see it presented as three discs. It will download as three folders, and the tracks will be in the right order in the right folder.
I know that I can re-tag the files, I have needed to do this sometimes even from CD's I rip.
But I know that Philip Blackburn at Innova tried to get them done right, and they are not right. I took this to Apple's feedback.
Thanks.

File structure for Sets Import - FM_SETS_FIPEX1

Hi Folks,
I've been tasked with migrating Funds Group and Commitment Group records into SAP ECC6. I've discovered the import option, but cannot get a file loaded, probably because the import file structure is incorrect. Could someone please provide me with the Import file structure, and even an example of the file layout (i.e. what does 'Type' mean?, when to use id 'H', 'R' or 'X').
Points will be awarded for helpful solution.
Cheers,
Steve

The trick is to set up a test Group set on-line, and use the Export option on the FM_SETS_FIPEX1 transaction (under the 'Extras' Menu), to extract an example of the file. Then the import file can be created using the same file structure. NB: The File is positional based, so saving as tab delimited or comma delimited won't work, as the '#' or ',' delimiters in the file will occupy critical positions in the upload file, causing an error during the load.

Best or better file formats for editing in PPRO CS4

I'm currently working with MPEG (from tape transfer) and M2T ( recorded with Adobe Onlocation) files in CS4.
I switch between Mac and PC depending on whcih system is available. (both: 8 gigs ram , dual quads 3GHZ, graphics ATI 4850 &/or quadra FX)
Regardless of the OS or system configuration I'm still experianceing choppy video in the Program monitor during editing.
So I guess I'm wondering if I should be useing a differant file formats for editing.
end use is HD web video that is served via Delve networks (720P).
Detailed, positive ideas and commentary appreciated.
thanks JamesNYC

If you're capturing via OnLo and it's coming up as .m2t then OnLo sees the device as an HDV device. This is a temporal codec and as such, decoding can be difficult if your system isn't up to the task. Since your CPU and memory are up to the task, I would ask about your drive subsystem and exactly which OS you are using? If you're using a 32bit flavor of Windows, you're not able to use the extra memory and I would suggest you upgrade to Win7 64.
hope this helps,
Dennis

Copy file structure for reference

So I have this internal HD that I am replacing with a bigger drive. I plan to put the old drive on the shelf as a backup. I'd like to have a document of all the files on the drive so I don't have to put it back in to see what's on it. I discovered that you can make a list of a folders contents and all sub folders by dragging them into TextWrangler. That's okay, but a little hard to scan visually. Does any one have a better solution? The text file of course is searchable but it would be nice if the snapshot of the drive looked and operated like OSX finder with twirldown folders. I just need the names of the files for reference. I suppose I could make a dummy folder in finder that had alias files of all of them. Anyone have any ideas?

You can't just manually copy files individually from drive to drive. Permissions and metadata can actually get messed up.
Better to use cloning software*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Unless of course your data is exhibiting signs of corruption. In that case, only copy the data files known to be of good structure to the new drive after erase and installing the operating system on the new drive.

Is there a simpler solution/directory/file structure for banner ads?

I also have to wonder what a pain this has to be for a large website with many rotating banner ads - having all of these same files copied over and over in separate subdirectories. Flash had 2 files - a html file and swf file stored in the same directory. Am I missing something?
the banner name - with config.xml - created by Dreamweaver
Assets - 4 or 5 files, not counting json or sound files
edge_includes - and its 2 files
images - at least they are unique
And I, maybe wrongly, create a html file in Dreamweaver with the oam file inserted in it.

From the Edge Animate JavaScript 2.0 API Docs:
CDN Hosting
Using the Adobe Content Distribution Network (CDN) is a great way to speed up Animate composition delivery. Compositions using the Adobe CDN all share a single URL for jQuery and the Edge Runtime. The browser caches the runtime, so the user only downloads the library once no matter how may Animate compositions they view, even if compositions are on different sites and produced by different authors.
Don't use the CDN if your composition needs to run without an Internet connection or if you want to use your own hosting exclusively.
The Edge Runtime CDN uses the following URL:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/edge/animate/2.0.0/edge.2.0.0.min.js"></script>
So now I know what that CDN option is about.

What is the file structure for new iMovie for Mac?

Under the previous version of iMovie for Mac, iMovie stored my clips and finished projects in folders that I was able to create on my hard drive. I have one folder named Events and another folder name Projects. With the new version of iMovie for Mac (the one that came with OS X Mavericks), I see there now is a file named iMovie Library 2.imovielibrary on my hard drive. Can someone explain how clips and projects are stored in the new iMovie versus the previous version of iMovie? Is all my content now stored in the iMovie Library 2.imovielibrary folder? The "date modified" on my previous Events and Projects folders shows 23 October, so it seems that the new iMovie no longer accesses those folders. Sound correct? Can I delete those old folders? Thank you

I wouldn't rename any of the files that iMovie creates in the Finder. You're asking for trouble.
I think the reason for the "2" is that at some point iMovie encountered a folder already with that name.
Did you re-install iMovie version 10 or do anything else that may have been non-standard with your installation?

File structure for "Masters"

Hello,
I recently moved all my photos to "Managed."
I have them organized in Aperture according to date, going back to 2001.
When I "Show Package Contents" and look in the "Masters" folder, it shows four folders: 2011, 2012, 2013, and Capture.
Unless I'm mistaken, all my photos, now that they're "Managed", are in the "Masters" folder somwhere, but where are the years 2001-2010? I would have expected them to be in the "Masters" folder, but they're not.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

The "Masters" folder is organized by date, but not by the "Capture" date, but by the date of the import session. If you import an image that has been taken in 2001 now, it will be filed in the subfolder 2013, not in the 2001 folder.

Léonie

Iphoto file structure

I hate the date file structure for iphoto. If I move to a programme which isn't iphoto, I cannot navigate through the date structure to find certain photos.
Why is it when I name a photo in iphoto, the name does not show in the file structure. Is there any way around this or am I stuck with using iphoto for ever. Could be a probleem if Apple went bust
TIA Anteric

Hi anthony,
The iPhoto 6 files organization is now by Years/rolls
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
The title you give a photo in iPhoto stays within iPhoto. the image file name remains the same in the Finder.
If you want to rename images, it should be done before importing into iPhoto.
download using your camera software or Image Capture, rename the photos, then import into iPhoto.
If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import(iPhoto 5), or roll name (iPhoto 6) in order to find the photo.
There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
Do this for each album.
Close iPhoto.
Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".
I have just found this useful piece of info at Macoshints.com
"Since Apple developed its "digital hub", with iLife and now iWork, I have wanted to have a system-wide panel that would let me choose pictures from my iPhoto library without having to open the application.
For example, if I want to add a picture to a TextEdit RTFD document, I had to launch iPhoto, chose the picture, and drag it to the document. Waiting for iPhoto to launch can be long if you have a lot of photos.
But there is a way to get around this, using an Automator action.
1. Open Automator, and click iPhoto.
2. From the list of actions, select Ask for Photos, and drag it to the right-hand pane.
3. Save this as a plug-in, and select Script Menu (the script menu that displays in the menu bar) so it is accessible anywhere. (If this menu is not visible, launch the AppleScript Utility in /Applications/Applescript, and check 'Show Script Menu in menu bar.')
Next time you need a picture from your iPhoto library, select this action from the AppleScript menu, and you'll have a media browser that lets you do so without opening iPhoto. "
Two Apple kbs for you to read

HTML formate excel files

Hi,
I just recognized that the excel files which I can download from my OBI/Answers reports or which I used to send to customers are HTML formated excel files. I also found a remark in the Oracle OBI documentation.
Now my problem ...those files are much bigger then the ordinary excel files. Opening those files and saving them again as pure excel decreases the size by the factor 10x.
Unluckily some of those files a bigger then 10MB which is the size limit of mails of our mail server. My question is there a way to create normal, non-html formatted excel files (especially for sending them)?
Thanks.

The link is very helpful but unluckily it is no solution (maybe there is no solution). If the excel file is in MHTML format it is much too big ...on the other hand it needs to be Excel 2003. So finally the question is still whether it is possible to get am Excel 2003 file without MHTML?

A better file manager?

Is there a better file manager for someone going from the Windows or Gnome Linux world on OS X?
I am looking for something like Windows Explorer or Nautilus. Both of these offer a left side panel that expands to a tree view of the filesystem, and a right panel showing the contents of the current folder.

If you are familiar with Linux, you can use Apple's X11 (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/) and Fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net/) to install GNOME or another more familiar desktop environment.
You may also find helpful resources at Darwin Ports via opendarwin.org (http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/).

Best practices re file locations for bootstrap, fonts, js, imgs, custom css regardless of App provisioning or Design Manager

Hi
I am working with a media company who are producing our responsive branding which includes bootstrap for a new publishing intranet. It occurred to me that I need to encourage consistency in the file locations regardless of if the files are provisioned
through an App I will build or through Design Manager and my mapped network drive.
client css
client js
client imgs
client fonts
bootstap css, and js
other frameworks: Jquery, knockout, angularjs
Previously, the the 2010 world, I tended to go for the benefits of the Site Collection libraries: /Site Assets/client/img and /Style Library/client/css and Style Library/client/js but having look at some the codeplex stuff such as Boostrap or
Responsive for SharePoint 2013 ( using _layouts/ , I am thinking I need to revisit this for both on prem and maybe office 365 stuff I am doing shortly.
Be good to get a few opinions on this
Daniel

Hi Dan the Man,
I recommend keeping them within the site that they are for, as opposed to at the root of the site collection. So not here:
http://mysiteurl.com/ but rather here
http://mysiteurl.com/sites/mysitename
Cheers,
Stacy Anothersharepointblog.blogspot.com
Hi Stacy
Thanks for your comment. In the case of my client there will be a fair amount of common stuff that will be on the top level site and also the subsites say bootstrap and certain corporate images. However, I agree, the UI will have more granularity
in the branding If I deploy your option. Say I have business area site which will have a different CSS to reflect its identity; even if has the same master page as other business area sub sites. Also, nn sites could have nn file structures
for css, js, etc which would take a bit of management.Maybe there is a "hybrid" approach I need to consider here.
