Is it possible to have a file hidden in Windows, but visible in OS X?

Essentially, I am trying to have a thumb drive with two versions of a piece of software, one Windows executable, and one Mac executable. I want the Mac file hidden in Windows, and vice versa. I found that I could use SetFile and make a file invisible, which Windows will ignore. However, it seems Mac does not ignore the hidden attribute for Windows. This is a problem for my use case. Is there any way to achieve my goal? I am open to different file systems (NTFS, fat32, UDF, ISO9660/Joliet, etc)

You could try to partition the thumb drive into two partitions, one for Mac, OS X Extended (Journaled), and one for Windows, FAT 32.  Windows computers can't read the Mac partition without 3rd party software. Macs can read and write to both partitions.

  • Is it possible to have a File Upload dialog incorporated into a Buy Module?

    Is it possible to have a File Upload dialog incorporated into a Buy Module? I'd like to guide a user thru the steps to placer an order, one of which is to upload a logo file. It is so much neater to have the Logo Upload be associated directly to an order being placed, rather than having a seperate file upload which is not directly related to an order.

    Not at that point no. You can add custom fields to the registration buy form and do it at that stage.

  • HT2250 I have Bonjour files on my computer, but iTunes will not recognize it, how do I fix this?

    I have Bonjour files on my computer, but when I open iTunes it says that I don't. Somehow the services are turned off, but I can't just turn on a file. How do I turn it back on?

    Hello th3maj0r,
    I was thinking that it might be a good idea to remove iTunes and all of its components including Bonjour and re installing them.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • Suddenly I can open only one Firefox window at a time. I can have multiple tabs in that window, but I can suddenly no longer open another window. What happened?

    Suddenly I can open only one Firefox window at a time. I can have multiple tabs in that window, but I can suddenly no longer open another window. What happened?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Is it possible to have two files with the same name on my Zen To

    Hia,
    Is it possible to have two mp3 files with the same name?; I.e if I'm ripping a Bach CD, there are several tracks that have the name preludium, and I hate to do the rename.
    Also, will I be able to sync my Zen so that It will only recieve new files that have been added since I last connected my Zen to my computer?
    regards,
    Fredrik

    I believe same filename is OK because the Zen Player does not really care about filename. As far as I know, the Zen database of the tracks in the player is based on the track information such as Title, Artist, Album and Genre. This means you cannot have two tracks of the same Title, Artist, Album and Genre in the Zen Player.

  • Is it possible to have media files copied to a new location as you import them into a project?

    I have roughly 800gb of footage i've taken over the past 2 years of traveling, and I am making a single video montage... The files are located on an external drive, making them slower to work with. I have a 1tb ssd but not enough free space to copy all the files to it for sorting. What i want to do is have the files copy over to the SSD as i add them to the project, so that only the footage i'm going to use gets copied over to the SSD. The only way i can determine if i am going to use the footage or not is to scrub through and mark Ins and Outs in premiere...
    So i guess my question, in the simplest terms i can ask is, Is there a setting in Premiere, like the project manager tool which allows you to consolidate used media files to one destination, but one that will consolidate files as you add them to the project? or could i do this manually by repeatedly using the project manager tool to consolidate files periodically?
    Hope that makes sense...
    Oh, and yes, i have considered other methods to my madness, like reviewing the footage outside of premiere before deciding if i will use it or not, frankly, i have over 4000 pieces of footage and it's just much faster to scrub through them in premiere than to open each one in vlc to review. It's also much more convenient to mark my ins and outs as i review the footage, so premiere is my only option.
    Thanks!

    You can easily (and better, IMHO) do what you want in Adobe Prelude.  It's part of the CC subscription, and may have been included with CS6.
    Open the Ingest panel, navigate to the external drive where you have your source clips, make the thumbnails in the Ingest panel comfortably large, click a video clip to enable scrubbing, and use the J-K-L keys to navigate playback through the clips.  Put a check mark on the clips you want and be sure to select and set up the Transfer option on the right side of the panel before ingesting.  Don't select the Transcode option.

  • Is it possible to have same file size for different dpi?

    I changed one.TIFF file (300dpi, 1024X1332)  to .jpg files of four different dpi. But when I checked the four result jpg files, I found out that they are all in same file size and quality.( I also have checked the property of the files in the Windows.)
    I think more DPI means more data and more file size. Am I wrong?
    I use Photoshop CS 5.1(64bit, WINDOWS) - which is part of my Adobe Master Collection CS5.5.
    TIFF(300dpi, 1024X1332) ->
    1. JPG(72dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
    2. JPG(108dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
    3. JPG(144dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
    4. JPG(600dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
    I tested a few times more with different files. and same result comes out.(same file size for different dpi)
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes absolutely. Great observation.  PPI does not control the number of pixels, just how big they are.
    Now, if you change the PPI in the Image Size dialog with Resample checked.. then, that is a different story. In that case you will be changing the pixel dimension of an image (i.e.,changing the total number of pixels making up the image) while keeping its print size.
    In your test files, you will notice all the print sizes are different, because all you were telling Photoshop to do was change the size of the pixels (if or when the image is ever printed), which is really just a bit of metadata of the file.

  • Have music files from a windows PC and put them on a usb drive. how do I transfer them to the mac mini and iTunes?

  • Is it possible to open Excel file in XAML Windows Store App?

    Thread response from msdn

    Hi,
    If you want to open an excel file by a windows store app. There is no direct API in windows store app can handle excel file. You will need to find a third party component. But
    if you want to launch a file into its default handler, please see 
    Launcher.LaunchFileAsync API. And you can refer to the link below:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh779671.aspx
    private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    StorageFolder storageFolder =
    Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
    StorageFile file =
    await storageFolder.GetFileAsync("56.xlsx");
    if (file != null)
    // Launch the retrieved file
    var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(file);
    if (success)
    // File launched
    else
    // File launch failed
    else
    // Could not find file

  • Invisible Folder/File(s) in Finder, but visible in Terminal

    Me and my father run 10.4.11 on our Dual G5 machines and are experiencing some strange behaviour of the Finder in the last weeks.
    Folders and single/multiple files have gone "missing" in the Finder, but they do exist (I checked with the Terminal). And no, there are no special flags or permissions set on them or anything else. When we tried to create new folders/files, the Finder says he can't because there is already an item named like that, so it's just the display of the Finder, that doesn't work.
    And it's not limited to internal hard drives, but also appears on my father's network drive by LaCie, he's accessing with the Finder (AFP) and is a default HFS+ volume also.
    Any attempts to get this fixed with the disk utility failed, so help or at least some more information to fix it would be appreciated.

    OK, I got my folder fixed with "FileSheriff". But why was it invisible, after all? Afaik in unix all files beginning with a "." are invisible and therefore are not displayed in Finder windows, so far so good. Don't tell me, that Apple does still permit the setting of some old System 6-9 flags on files and folders via the Carbon framework, that would interfere with some unix concepts? Then I guess it's some HFS thing?

  • Is it possible to have swf files rotate?

    Hi all. I hope you can help me.
    I found a brilliant file showing how to bring in bitmaps to flash from an xtml. and have them rotate in sections on and off the screen.
    I'm sure there are other ways to do this but this is the one i have managed to find and adapt to my needs.
    ( I'm more designer than coder but i try, and this file is a code fest! I have never used an external file before to make my animations work.)
    http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_224_grid_slider
    I was looking at what my site requires and decided i would like this format but for swf. files to be loaded instead of Bitmaps. Is this even possible with an swf? The reason i would like to use swf's is because i would like the user to see a small (interaction optional) animation in place of each bitmap, and if they don't click anything the next one will appear by breaking into squares and the next one rolls in etc. just like the bitmaps but with swfs. Would i have to create bitmaps to be broken up into squares and rotated into view and then have it automatically load the swf in it's place and then before rolling out switch back to the bitmap? Or is there a way just to load the swf's and have them break up and rotate?
    I have managed to remove the text info and dissapearing bar, as this would not be required for the animations,and I have extend the viewing time however although it's working it might not all be completely correct :S
    Any help would be much appeciated and if there is a tutorial for exactly this just point me in the right direction.
    I hope i can do it just with swf's as that would be awesome.
    Please be aware i was taught the basics on Macromedia Flash MX as a designer and have recently bought Adobe CS4 so i'm still trying to catch up on all the new tricks and info. So please be gentle, I'm a little rusty.
    Thanks
    Cobie

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes i think it does use the bitmapdata class. I'll try searching for swf masks tutorials and see what i get.
    Thanks for the reply
