Is there a way to change the export default file name

I have a request to change the default file name when doing a pdf export of a report. By deault, when pushing the export to pdf button, the name is NONAME.pdf. They want the default name to be the channel name is displayed on the report.
Is there an easy way to do this, or will I have to load all new code into the export button?

What you'll probably want to do is create a script that uses the Call Report.Sheets.ExportToPDF function and programatically specify the name.  From here, you could set it as one of the function buttons or even include it on the toolbar if you'd like.

  • Is there a way to change the actual song file but keep the 'info'?

    I have a compilation that took me a really long time to edit (by which I mean put the date for each individual song in because they were all released different years becaues it's a Bob Dylan compilation and I have smart playlists for each decade from the 50's upwards) and I want to change the actual file in itunes but keep the data, is there any way? It'd take ages to do again because it's a 3-cd album. I'm trying to change the file because the one I have is approx 200kbps bit rate and i want to have a different, 320kbps version that i've downloaded. I've tried opening the file in explorer and deleting it so that i can 'locate' the file again to the one i want to replace it with, but it changes the song title, album artist, and tags etc to the new file, whereas i thought it would just retain the information but change the actual file it played.
    i've had a really hard time explaining this i'm sorry if it's unclear. i was just wondering if there was any way to avoid the painstaking process of googling each song to find its release date and manually entering it when i already have a perfectly organised album.
    i can't find anything anywhere about this, presumably because i've no idea what the key words for the search would be, so i'm sorry if this is common knowledge.
    thanks in advance

    VBR vs. CBR isn't a concern as far as the strategy is concerned. As given it is slightly easier if the replacement files have exactly the same files names and folders as the files they are replacing (case doesn't matter) but if that isn't possible we can work around that too.
    Not my area but I think CBR gives larger files and less processing overhead for the same quality, which is a somewhat nebulous term. I'm not sure there is any real benefit.
    Yes a script is just another kind of a program.
    iTunes gives each track in the database a unique ID and knows the path that the file is supposed to live on. If you replace the original file with a different file of higher bitrate that has the same filename then iTunes will use that new file next time it wants to play the track. When it does so it will also read the tag and update itself if any of the information is different.
    The original function of the ExportImport script was to help someone else rescue play counts from an old library database. If works by scanning through selected tracks and writing out a text file that contains an ID for each track and the data that wants to be copied back later.
    Here is a sample output from the export:
    <#>iTunes Metadata - Exported 19/12/2012 20:03:58
    <ID>E5C69360-306A28AF
    <#>AC-DC\AC-DC Live\1 Thunderstruck

    Each block consists of the iTunes track ID, a comment so we humans can see which track this is, followed by one or more properties. I can write you a custom version of this script but I need to know exactly which properties you need to save and then restore. For example Name, Year, Genre, etc. You need to compare a new and old version of one of your songs and work out which fields need resetting in the new song to make it match the old one.
    Having saved a file with the information that would otherwise change, you can then delete the older copies of the file, or better yet move them to a backup location, then copy in the new versions. If the filenames match iTunes will "see" the new files automatically, otherwise my FindTracks script can normally fix the broken links. Once iTunes is connected to all of the new files you drag and drop the saved text file onto the ExportImport script to run the import phase. This applies the saved data to each track in turn.

  • Programaticly changing the (suggested only) file name in the save prompt when signing a document?

    When you sign a document in Adobe X (or XI), the system says it needs to save the file first.   Is there some way to change the (suggested only) file name to a different value for that save?
    Right now, people open a blank form - lets call it formX.pdf.   They fill it in and sign it.  The suggested file name for the save is FormX.pdf.   I can generate a unique file name which i'd like to put in place of the suggested default...

    AFAIK, you can't do it with code. Your best option might be to use a form field to show a message to the user when they sign the document with that information.

  • Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export. TX

    Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export with this script in photoshop For MAC:
    Chris Cox wrote:
    The file extensions are written by the export plugin.  (which incidentally has a comment that two studios wanted all caps extensions, but I failed to write down which ones in the comments)
    To change the filenames, you'd want to add something at the end of doExportLUTs() that uses the supplied path and substitutes the desired extensions, then renames the file.
    Thank you

  • Is there a way to change the image numbers in a file in Aperture?

    Is there a way to change the image numbers in a file in Aperture? We shoot with two photographers and so the img numbers are not in order but I would like to have the photos in chronological order on the disc when I give it to them. Does anyone know how to do this? I have them all in order ready to go in Aperture but when I move them to the disc to be burned they default back to the img number order. Thanks for your help!

    What do you mean by "image number"? The file names like "IMG_7822.CR2" or "IMG_7822.jpg"?
    You can create custom names with appended numbers, when you export your image files to be saved on a disk.
    Sort your images by date in the browser, select them, then use the command "File > Export > Version" to write the files to the disk. Set the name format to "Custem Name with Index" or "Custom Name with Counter" to create numbered names in your current sort order.
    Regards

  • Is there a way of changing the jdevappunknown_ folder that Ant deploys to?

    Using Ant DeployESBSuitcase doesn't work when deploying Projects with dependencies.
    Steps to re-create error:
    Create a JDeveloper ESB Project called ‘ProjectB’ and add file adapter called ‘WriteFile’ to write a file. Deploy this project using JDeveloper.
    Create another JDeveloper ESB Project called ‘ProjectA’ and add a file adapter called ‘ReadFile’ to read a file.
    From ProjectA’s routing service add a routing rule and use ‘Browse Target Service Operation’ (Gear wheel icon) and select the deployed ProjectB_WriteFile service.
    Deploy ProjectA using JDeveloper.
    Use Ant to create a deploymentplan file for both projects by running the ExtractESBDeploymentPlan target.
    Note: As these projects are saved under their own directory structure
    C:\Workspace\Local\ProjectA and C:\Workspace\Local\ProjectB you will need to copy the ..\ProjectB\ProjectB_WriteFile.wsdl to the ProjectA folder.
    Confirm that ProjectA and ProjectB Ant build files DeployESBSuitcase properties (esbMetadataServerHost and esbMetaServerPort) point to another server other than the one you have just deployed ProjectA and ProjectB to using JDeveloper. i.e. a clean server that doesn’t know about these Projects
    Deploy ProjectB using Ant’s DeployESBSuitcase target.
    Deploy ProjectA using Ant’s DeployESBSuitcase target.
    An error is now thrown

    This error is thrown as ProjectB’s wsdl file cannot be found under esb:///ESB_Projects/Local_ProjectB/ProjectB_WriteFile.wsdl.
    This is due to Ant deploying ProjectB under …\ESB_Projects\jdevappunknown_ rather than …\ESB_Projects\Local_ProjectB
    When deploying ESB projects from JDeveloper they are created under the following structure: <Oracle_Home>\integration\esb\oraesb\artifacts\store\metadata\files\ESB_Projects\<JDev_Workspace>\<Project_Name>
    However when using the Ant target DeployESBSuitcase ALL projects are deployed to the same folder:
    <Oracle_Home>\integration\esb\oraesb\artifacts\store\metadata\files\ESB_Projects\jdevappunknown_
    Is there a way of changing the jdevappunknown folder used by Ant deployments?

    James,
    Following my steps above I don't get anything in the deploymentPlan for either ProjectA or ProjectB which includes a WSDL URL I can modify.
    ProjectA includes the ProjectB_WrieFile.esbsv file which contains the following line:
    <wsdlURL>esb:///ESB_Projects/Local_ProjectB/ProjectB_Write.wsdl</wsdlURL>
    Is there something I can change which will mean when I regenerate the deploymentPlan it will include the WSDL location?
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to change the message received in Outlook from Mavericks calender?

    Hi there
    I found a post discussing this whereby a user was advised to edit the ITIP.stings file in the contents of the iCal.app to change the standard message that states "To accept or decline this invitation, click the link below" etc message that an Outlook user received when getting a calender invite from Mavericks Calender.
    The post is here:
    Is there a way to change the standard email message?
    Problem is, on Mavericks it does not have that string in that file - I've actually checked ALL the .strings files in that folder but to no avail. Did it move somewhere else on Mavericks?
    On another note...this whole process is part in part moving from Entourage to Mac Mail and Calender due to Apple's (illogical) removal of the ability to sync with anything other than iCal / Mail / iCloud. So we manually moved everything across (thousands of mails and hundreds of folders) and hundreds and hundreds of calender events.
    Now it syncing but herewith the problem...if I create an event and send it to someone, they receive it as the iCloud account email and not our work email (pop account with our own domain). Even then when I open it in Outlook, it has some horribly malformed address and when you accept, you get a delivery failure.
    So we create a different Calender (On the Mac) and this sends 100% (except for the message in the body we'd like to change) but this does not sync with the Iphone or the iPad. Then we have to manually change the calender event to the iCloud calender and it brings up a message that its going to send the update to all the attendees...and you must choose between send via mail or send via server.
    What do I do!?

    Anyone? Just need to know where I can change that message and also how I can set up the icloud calender to send invites using my work email address (as configured in Mail)?

  • Is there a way to change the icon associated with icloud account?

    Is there a way to change the icon associated with my iCloud account? It's currently a rose and i do not like it.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Are you referring to your iCloud account picture or your user picture?

  • Is there a way to Change the Writing Speed When Burning CD-R's?

    Is there a way to change the writing speed when burning CD-R's?
    I don't see any options in Disk Utility.
    Rob
    P.S. Since I am burning coasters lately with the Pioneer DVR-111D, I though that I might solve the problem by using a lower write speed.

    I dn't believe so with Disk Utility although you can with Roxio Toast Titanium. I would try another media brand, like Verbatim, as a first step and see if the coaster problem goes away.

  • Is there a way to change the Apple ID you're using on your iPhone?

    I recently got an iPhone 3 and I am using my brothers ID to download apps but he won't tell me his password and its really inconvenient having to ask him to put it in every time, so I was wondering if theres a way to change the one your using as I have another on I can now use instead. Please if you have any thoughts on how to do this please tell me. Thanks

    Hi,
    try
    Settings->Store
    click on the existing appleId (your brothers), click 'sign out'. You should then be able to sign-in, but this time select 'Create New Apple ID'

  • Is there a way to change the addresses used in an existing iMessage thread?

    This is kind of a multi-part question. Let me describe my scenario.
    I have many iMessage threads with other iPhone users where the "reply" addresses for one or both ends are the phone *numbers* instead of AppleID email addresses. (This could be due to a number of factors... either they had their "Start new conversations from" address set to their phone number, and/or they started a new conversation with me sending it to my phone number. How it *got* that way doesn't really matter). I want to be able to change the addresses of the conversation to AppleID's (so that I'll still get messages when I change SIM cards, among other reasons).
    With iOS 8's new ability to add/remove people from conversations, I thought I would be able to add the AppleID address and remove the phone number address, but there are two problems with that: 1) iOS 8 seems to only allow this for conversations which began as multi-person conversations, and 2) it doesn't seem to want to let you add addresses for people who are already recipients via another address (in other words, if Alice is already on the conversation via her phone number, I can't add her AppleID to the conversation). I guess I could remove the person first, and then re-add them with the other address... but I'd feel safer if I could add the next one before removing the first one.
    I know I could just tell the other person to delete our thread and start a new one, but I don't want to lose all of our dialogue and pictures (and I don't want to have to manually save it).
    So, the questions:
    Is there a way to change the address my counterparty is sending to when they make further replies to our conversation?
    Is there a way to change the address I send to when I make further replies to the conversation?
    Is there a way to change the default address to use when trying to send someone an iMessage? (What I'm after here is a way to craft my "contact" entry in people's phones so that, when they try to send a message to me and start typing my name, my preferred address comes up on top).
    As it looks like the only way to do this might be to use iOS 8's method of adding/removing recipients, is there a way of converting a two-person conversation into a multi-person one?

    I think I may have solved it, actually.  I find that if I switch the timecode to NDF in the source viewer, it seems to work.  I have tried it on three clips and they have sync'd without problems.  Hopefully this will continue to be the case.

  • Is there a way to change the pinch-to-zoom feature?

    Is there a way to change the behavior of pinch-to-zoom in Safari 5.1.4 on Lion?  It seems to have adopted the iOS zoom (where it's a zoom into an area on the page) and I would prefer that it emulated a Command-+ type of page zoom.  When using pinch-to-zoom in a site like Gmail or Google Reader, the content ends up requiring horizontal scrolling if you pinch-to-zoom... while Command-+ increases the size of everything but keeps it within a single screen.
    Can this be done?  Is there the equivalent of the about:config page from Firefox?
    Apple... can you fix this (or offer an option to determine how pinch-to-zoom works in Safari)?!?!
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your response.
    I have searched for a solution to change the order of my tags and haven't found it.
    I add multiple tags to my emails and the color at a glance means something to me - if I add an earlier, more up the priority ladder it shows that color instead of the one that I want. I'm rambling but the fact remains that I would like to be able to change the tag priority.
    Have a great one!

  • Apple Mail, is there a way to change the default time-out?

    This has been puzzling me for some time and I have not found a solution. The problem which I also posted in the Mail forum (though I think that if there is a positive answer it will come through here) is as follows:
    I have an email account with on my company's mail server which is actually a Novell Netware server with a POP3 service. When using mail to send mail, I have no problems. When using mail to recieve mail, well, sometimes it gets the mail, and sometimes it does not. Usually, I can recieve mail for two or three weeks then it just stops working. No changes to my system, no updates or anything, I recieve email at one point in the day and then 15 minutes later - nothing. In the Activity Monitor, I see "Connecting to ..." then "Sending Password" then "Checking for Messages", then (after a while) it beeps as if it did not find any messages to download (no error!).
    Some weeks later, after suffering with webmail, suddenly, it works again. This usually coincides with maintenance on the server, but not always. It also seems to correspond with a general improvement of the server performance. But eventually, the cycle starts over again with mail suddenly not able to find any new messages for that account.
    I use dial-up at home, ethernet LAN at work, and DSL at our satellite offices. When it works on one it works on all. Also note that my other email accounts (not in any way connected to my company) work as they should at all times and in each setting.
    Is it possible that mail simply times out before the messages are discovered. The Novell server used for mail is by no means known for its performance. If so, is there anyway to change the default timeout in mail for "Checking for Messages"?
    Things I have tried:
    I have dumped the "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded" and "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2" files to no avail.
    I have changed computers (I recently upgraded from a ti400), reinstalled the OS, upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.3.x to 10.4.3, and removed and recreated the mail account (multiple times), all to no avail.
    Based on the above observations, I feel that it may be that "Mail's" "Get-mail" function is timing out before new messages are discovered on a very slow server. Is there any way to change the default time-out to evaluate this hypothesis?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I already thought of that one.  I deleted my account from there.  But it didn't default to the other one.  It just told me I needed to add an account.  Thanks tho

  • Is there a way to change the Windows Update service startup type on Windows Server 2012 R2?

    We have a number of newly built 2012 R2 servers that we have HP Operations Manager agent running on that monitors the status of several services and reports if they are "stopped". One of these services is Windows Update. Every day we
    get at least one alert saying:
    "Service "Windows Update" is not started. Current state is stopped"
    Checking the event logs shows that the Windows Update service stops, then a while later it just starts again. Not an error, just an information event.
    In Windows 2012 R2 the Windows Update service is set to "Automatic (Trigger Start)", where in previous versions we run (2012/2008R2) it would be set to just "Automatic" or "Automatic (Delayed Start)"
    I have come to understand that this behaviour is normal for Windows 2012 R2, and that Trigger Start services by design stop themselves after a period of inactivity. I was unable to find any info on how this works. Our client would like this to
    be changed and the Windows Update service stay running all the time, understanding that this impacts performance.
    Is there a way to change the Windows Update service in Server 2012 R2 to the old Automatic startup behaviour so that it stays running all the time instead of stopping and starting periodicall? There is no option to do this via the services mmc
    gui.
    So far I have tried:
    Removing the Triggers using the command: sc triggerinfo wuauserv delete
    This works temporarily, the service then shows as just Automatic in the services console, however if you restart the server or restart the service it goes right back to being Automatic (Trigger Start).
    Any kind of help would be appreciated.

    This one might help.
