Link to a file in encrypted partition

Hi all,
I have an encrypted partition with some files I use regularly. If I mount the partition, I can make a shortcut to files by dragging them onto the dock. If I click the icon on the dock, and the encrypted partion is not mounted, I get prompted for the password and the partion mounts and the file opens.
I'd like to put several of these shortcuts in a single folder on my dock. Just dragging and dropping does nothing. Any thoughts?

So I solved this by having an applescipt call a bash script. Kind of a silly round-about way to do it, but it works.

Are my File Vault encrypted files backed up with Time Machine still useful?

The background:
My iMac G5 crashed. It all started one and a half years ago when my screen popped and the frequent hard shutdowns pobably damaged my HDD (the one elegant solution Windows have is the Windows button: press + 'u' + return = proper shutdown). After that episode I bought an external drive and started a Time Machine backup routine. What I did not realize, was the issues surrounding the use of TM with a File Vault encrypted system. In 2007 when I bought my G5, I poked around, getting myself familiarized in Mac OS X and found this thing called File Vault. It looked like something useful and I started using it. Later I upgraded my OS and after my screen problem, decided to make use of Time Machine. The one problem with Mac OS X is the ease of use. It's so easy that Apple probably cannot foresee all the dumb things we users are going to do with it, including a warning to first time TM users who have their system already encrypted with FV. Now, after searching the forums, I see the problems and the warnings. If someone use TM and then decide to use FV, a warning pops up, but not the other way around! At least, I never saw it coming. If there is such a warning, I probably did not read it - as I say, it all happens so easy and work so well, it's easy to use a Mac without reading the instructions. Yes, I did some dumb things, but that's probably because I'm not so dumb; too relaxed, yes. At least, so it seems to me : )
My problem:
Two weeks ago, my G5 suddenly started giving problems. Out of the blue I couldn't open Adobe Bridge. At first I thought it was a software problem and tried re-installing Bridge and searched the Adobe forums for a solution. After a long struggle trying different solutions, I eventually booted with my install disk and with Disk Utility found that there is a problem with my internal HDD. Only then it dawned on me that my problem is far more serious than a software problem but by then it was too late. I couldn't repair the HDD with DU and got an instruction to restore my system with a backup. No problem! I hooked up my external HD and pressed the button. The restoration took over 12 hours to complete. That in itself showed my that I have a big problem, but I did not dare interrupt the process. In the end I got a window with a 'Restart System' button. All I got from that was a white screen with a spinning wheel and that's where I am now. Needless to say, my G5 is now getting repaired.
My solution:
I have to keep going so I used my savings to buy another Mac. I have my backups, so I'll just do a Migration and keep working. Or so I thought. When I tried it, it obviously failed because I sit with encrypted backups that would only restore to the original machine - which crashed! After reading about it on the forums, it dawned on me that it is, most probably, a futile exercise. My backups are, most probably, no backups at all, because I also did not realize that I had to 'log out' of my FV to get TM to properly backup my files! In never dawned on me that I should log out! I have one machine at home and have no particular reason to log out at all!
My question:
Am I wasting my time with the 'backups' I have? Should I wait for my G5 to get back from the shop and see if they are useful, of should I just move on and try to live the rest of my life without all the electronic data I lost?

But they missed one situation: if Time Machine is set up, but auto backups are turned OFF, there's no message. If you turn it back on, there's no message then, either.
. . . and that's exactly my MO! I still don't have auto backup turned on. If it's better to use auto backup I'll do it, but to my mind it's better not to have both my computer and my backup disk on all the time. What happens when there is a power failure or lightning strike and both are on and both get damaged? My MO is to make a manual backup once a day and then put the external HDD away.
That's one of the reasons not to rely on a single backup, no matter where it is or how it was made. All hardware fails, sooner or later, no backup app is perfect, and things like lightning, fire, flood, and theft happen, too.
With a desktop Mac (and a U.P.S. system that both the Mac and External HD are on), you can let TM do it's hourly backups (although that won't help a lot with the current incarnation of File Vault), then keep secondary backups on a separate HD, perhaps a portable one, with a different app. See #27 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for some suggestions.
I have thought of doing another weekly backup on a different external HD that I keep at the office, but I'm still procrastinating that one. Now that I think about it, does Time Machine cater for that: having two backup routines on two different HDD's?
You can do that, but you must tell Time Machine each time you want to "swap" drives. But each will be complete and independent.

OpenSUSE - Arch switch: encrypted partitions, keeping /home and other

Hello,
I am considering switching from openSUSE to Arch -- I want to gain performance, avoid releases and try something new -- but have some doubts/questions. I would appreciate if you could help me a bit with resolving them :)
i. From what I see on the fora some of you are (ex) SUSE users so... will I miss anything?
ii. Should I expect any problems in general?
a) I am using nVidia proprietary drivers and, despite all downsides, would like to keep doing so. Are there any problems regarding installation or keeping them up to date?
b) Is it possible to use s2ram and s2disk or obtain working counterpart(s), as, I hear, there are some problems with those?
c) Is it possible to install software from debs and/or rpms? Possibly without extracting and moving files manually?
d) Is it safe to assume that hardware and all applications not specific to any distribution will work just as well as they do on SUSE? I know, Linux is Linux but still.
/edit: e) Does getting fonts to be displayed properly takes a lot of tweaking? This problem does not exist on SUSE but on other distros it used to be a pain.
iii. I have SUSE installed on encrypted partitions (with luks and /dev/mapper so it's pretty similar to setup recommended for Arch in that matter) and would like to avoid reencrypting as well as keep /home untouched. Is it possible and not too complicated?
(I have seen http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LUKS_Encrypted_Root, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Off … tall_Guide and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … ing_Linux)
Any additional information and comments are welcome.

I found all the command switches, but nothing about encrypting. And I've searched online and found nothing.
Can this be done?

Hi Sharon2000,
I think you could try the Database.NewPassword Method (DAO) in the VBScript file, and you could get more information about it from the link below:

Multiple HTML-files in one stack / link another HTML-file in a stack

Hi,
I want to integrate a webapp (html/js) into a stack of a dps-folio. All the HTML works fine ... all no problem, but at clicking the first link on the initial HTML-document the next (local) HTML-File is opened in a slider with a "ready"/"Fertig"-bar at the top. But I want, that all html files are seamlessly loaded in the same view.
At this point i found: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-8ad81e812b10bfd837-80 00.html and i made the file "NativeOverlays.config" and moved it to the described location. After that, the behaviour was correct in the desktop-preview-app of the DPS, but it still fails on the iPad-Adobe-Viewer.
How can i link between HTML-files without any interuption or sliding?
Thank you!
Christian

Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying. I have looked for "PDFBookBinder class" in xml publisher user guide for ver 5.6.2. I didn't get any reference of this text. Can you please guide me to a tutorial/link where i can get more information about this class.
Also, i originally thought of similar to your second logic, as my design basis. Oracle process generates the xml file in output directory which i can get. What i didn't get is how do i "pick them up and merge" using publisher. Also, is there way to do this merging process using pl/sql ? Can you please give little more information on your second approach.
My original plan of action is that i will create a report set in which i will call oracle seeded report for all 7 payrolls in a sequential manner. Then using the child requests of the report set i will get to 7 xml files generated by seeded oracle process. Then the piece i am not sure of , i will use those 7 files to generate a single xml file having payroll name as tree top for each output. Once single xml is ready, i can easily design a template and register the process to generate output as Excel.This process will not require me to actually change any data or do any calculation. It will only reformatting the feilds we see and abiity to see all 7 payroll at one time rather then entering these numbers manually into an excel to do analysis.
Please provide your feedback, if you think above plan is not feasible or need corrections.

Creating a link to a file on a Windows server?

I am trying to create a link to a file located on a Windows server that I can email to users and they can click on the link and it will open the actual file.
Here is what I have done so far:
smb://server/sharedfolder/document.doc
The user can click on the link but it just opnes up the "sharedfolder" and then you have to find the file you want and then open it and that works.
I need the link to be able to just open the actual file.
Is there a way to do this??
Thanks

Since it's a file download, there's no reason to add the target="_blank", I'm guessing your file is 404 for some reason which would give you a blank window per the target.
Make sure the case structure of the file and link are identical. Servers are case sensitive, a server sees CheckIPApp.zip and checkIPApp.zip as totally different files. Your local OS sees them as the same thing so during local testing it will work, when uploaded, it won't.
Make sure you've loaded the file onto the server at the exact location specified by the link. It should be in a folder called "Zip Files" that resides on the same directory level as the page that the link is on.
You may also want to normalize your file names. They should be all lower case alpha-numerics without any spaces (use hyphens or underscores instead) and without special characters ($%&*). You can use DW's Files window to change names and DW will fix the links automatically.

If you delete files from your computer, BlackBerry Link deletes the file or collection from your device?

I found the below description from the help of BlackBerry Link, however i never get it work.
Any one know whats wrong or what i need to set?
About deleting music, pictures, videos, and documents?
After you sync your music, picture, video, or document files between your computer and your BlackBerrydevice, if you delete a file or a collection of files, the following actions occur:
If you delete files from your computer, BlackBerry Link deletes the file or collection from your device.
If you delete files from your device, BlackBerry Link doesn't delete the file or collection from your computer.
For information about how to delete a file from your device, tap the Help app on the home screen of your device.

Hey hkfoolman,

Adober Reader 8.1.2 will not open new page links to .pdf file

Since upgrading to version 8, I cannot open a pdf file (from IE) if it opens in a new window. It opens local files, and links on pages that go directly to the pdf file, but not if the link opens the file in a new window. This means that I cannot open such things as my VISA statement, etc. What now?
I have Windows XP on a Dell desktop. If it makes any difference, I also have Adobe Pagemaker 7.0 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 loaded on this computer.
I really need this to work.
Thanks.

Nothing showed in the Event Viewer log. However, just to be thorough:
1. I uninstalled reader 6.0.1 and rebooted. (all pdf became unassociated)
2. I deleted any acr*.tmp anywhere on my computer.
3. I deleted The 6.0 folder from the application updates path
4. I deleted the 6.0 folder from my install path.
5. I deleted the Adobe folder from my temp directory.
6. I ran CCleaner, cleaned app files and registry and repeated.
7. I rebooted and repeated step 6.
8. I opened Event Viewer, backed up and cleared all events from the log.
9. I installed 8.1.2 (all pdf became associated with Acrobat Reader)
10. Under Event Viewer/Application the event log displays: Product: Adobe Reader 8.1.2 -- Installation operation completed successfully.
11. Under Event Viewer/System the event log displays: The Windows Installer service entered the stopped state.
12. I tried to launch: the shortcut, a pdf and the exe file.
13. There are no additional events added to any level of the event log.
14. There is no indication of activity from Reader in the Task Manager: Applications or Processes. It never appears in either.
As a final note, I know the 8.1.2 install file is not corrupted because I copied it to another computer where it installed and runs just fine.

How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

Hi All,
I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
Can any one tell me about this?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

Links to excel file on safari page suddenly stopped working, but work in firefox. Happened yesterday. Help!

I have a webpage with links mapped from an icon to two excel files. They aren't working. I checked the html. it is identical to two links to .png files and the location is correct, but nothing happens when you click the link. I have reset, emptied cache and thrown out the plists,
The html reads:
<img usemap="#Curio_Map" src="Steps%20in%20Detail(3D691625).png" />
<map name="Curio_Map">
<area href="Assets/7B8E04AB/Strategic%20Planning%20Detail%20Dairy.xlsx" shape="polygon" coords="455,66 844,66 844,296 455,296" >
<area href="Assets/18C769C4/Initial%20questions%20for%20Strategic%20Planning.xls" shape="polygon" coords="14,71 431,71 431,293 14,293" >
</map>
The Assets folder is in the same folder as the index.html page with frames and the page within the frame.
The html for the .png files that do work is:
<img usemap="#Curio_Map" src="Supporting%20Doc(698C969A).png" />
<map name="Curio_Map">
<area href="Assets/9D8D3352/P%20of%20PDSA%20Altresco.pdf" shape="polygon" coords="22,126 102,126 102,192 22,192" >
<area href="Assets/F5E05A53/Access%20Environment%20Altresco.png" shape="polygon" coords="21,45 103,45 103,88 21,88" >
</map>
Look the same to me! Why does one work and the other not, and why did it happen all of a sudden? Any thoughts?
Dan

It sounds like the page has somehow got stuck in the cache of
a server
somewhere. Delete the file from the server, and then call the
page.
Hopefullt you should then get a 404 error. Then FTP the page
back. This
should hopefully clear out the cache.

How do I designate an e-mail to use to "send a link" from the File menu?

Emailing a link to a file on an SMB server

How do you create a link to a file on an SMB server, to send to other people (e.g. in email)?
In a large corporation with mixed Mac/Windows network we use Samba to allow Mac OS X 10.6 to access the file servers.
This works fine for basic operations such as browsing the servers, or copying files, etc. However, it isn't clear how to create a link to a file on a server, such that it can be emailed to people.
Creating a link to a folder works ok, via this syntax:
    smb://servername/SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/
When the email recipient clicks on the link (which appears by default as blue underlined), OS X automatically mounts the server as a local volume, and Finder opens a window so that they can see the folder contents.
But when trying to create a link to a particular file, via this syntax:
    smb://servername/SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.mp4
It doesn't work. When the recipient clicks on the link, Finder appears to mount an empty fictitious volume called SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.mp4, containing no files. It is as if the URL parsing support for Samba links only supports referencing directories rather than individual files.
By contrast, on Windows sharing a file can be done via this syntax:
     \\servername\SomeFolder\AnotherFolder\FileToShare.mp4
And clicking on the link would automatically open the file (e.g. in whatever application is associated to play the video, edit the document, etc).
Is there any way to create a clickable link to a file (not folder) on an SMB server?
Matthew

Thank you for trying to help.
However, that utility does not solve the problem as far as I can tell. Regardless of whether the link text is typed in manually, or is 'snagged' via some utility, it still doesn't work in the case I was mentioning. All options in PathSnagger require that the drive is already mounted, as far as I can tell. And once it is mounted, PathSnagger generates the following strings for various options:
     Snag Path Windows:          \Volumes\servername\SomeFolder\AnotherFolder\FileToShare.mp4
     Snag Path Unix:               /Volumes/servername/SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.mp4
     Snag Path HFS:          servername:SomeFolder:AnotherFolder:FileToShare.mp4
     Snag Path File:          file://localhost/Volumes/servername/SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.mp4
Note that none of these retain the original server location and protocol (smb://servername) because the volume is now mounted. As such, if emailed to another recipient, in general they do not work.
Perhaps my original question was not clear. Is there any way to create a clickable link to a file (not a folder) on an SMB server, so that the link can be emailed to other people, and email recipient clicks on the click, the file is opened? (And server volumes mounted automatically as necessary)
On Windows it can be done via a link such as:
     \\servername\SomeFolder\AnotherFolder\FileToShare.txt
On Mac, the corresponding support for Samba URLs seems incomplete. A link such as:
     smb://servername/SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.txt
does not appear to work even on the sender's computer, and even if the server is already mounted.
The expected behaviour is that when a user (e.g. email recipient) clicks on the link, it should mount the server (if necessary) and open the file (in the example above, FileToShare.txt). Unfortunately, this does not seem to happen.

How to transfer files from one partition to another on the same computer

I had a crash could not boot back into my 8.1 upgrade. Went out bought standalone 8.1. I loaded it on HD free space now I want to transfer files from one partition to another.

hi
say there are two infoobjects X and Y.
X is existing infoobject and Y in new one.
go to infosurce-search for X-create export datasource - map the rules and load the data.
This is one way.
Other way is u can use X as a reference object of Y so that both of them have same structure and both objects will share common database tables in BW which are exsting for X.
Hope this helps.
Kindly assign the points if it helps.

How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?

How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?
What I am trying to do is find out how to have a 3D model and a parts list linked to it within the PDF file. I would also like to be able to add to the parts list if at all possible once the pdf has been created. A template to create future PDF's with the 3D model and list might also be useful.
I am not entirely sure if this is all possible within a PDF file, but I have viewed a PDF (Adidas Trainer) example which has a Excel file attached to it which links to the 3D model. I have also had a look at partner products such as Lattice, Tetra4D, Anark, which can do animations and all sorts, but frankly it seems a bit overkill for what I am looking to do.
Please, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I wrote about it while ago, let me paste the whole thing.
This example has simple
buttons which upon click go to new sites and in the same time
place record in form
of *.SOL file on user drive. That record is read when you hit
the next button and
based on that the button will be selected as the one last

You could use the very same thing just instead of suppressing
