Locked flag (uchg) get lost when zipped

Hello,
I have a source folder with a locked (uchg) file, which I zip and unzip. After unzipping the file isn't locked any more.
I ziped the file with: ditto -c -k --sequesterRsrc SourceFolder test.zip
I also tested some other zip tools for zipping and unzipping, having all admin rights, but the locked flag is always lost. I also tested other files.
I am not the Mac specialist, so
1. Is this a standard behaviour? and I can't preserve the locked flag in a PKzip file?
2. If it is not normal, what am I doing wrong, or how can I preserve the file flag in a zip file?
Thank you for any hint
Tiemo

You may be out of luck, this from the chflags man page:
Only a limited number of utilities are chflags aware. Some of these tools include
ls(1), cp(1), find(1), install(1), dump(8), and restore(8). In particular a tool
which is not currently chflags aware is the pax(1) utility.
A quick Google shows that ditto is also not aware.

  • Event gets lost when iView is uncompressed for the first time

    Hi All,
    we are developing an application that manages attachments (meaning: files stored in KM) and per request by the client consists of several iViews. One of them contains a search interface, another one lists the hits that have been found. So the iViews have to communicate.
    We achieved the funcionality by using portal eventing and the HTTP session. The search iView compiles the search string and writes it to the session.
    request.getComponentSession().getHttpSession().setAttribute(searchString, .....);
    We then use javascript to fire an event on which the searchResult iView reacts and fetches the searchString from the session. The actual search is then performed within the searchResult-iView.
    The only problem is that the client requested that the searchResult iView should initially be collapsed. So we set its "initial display" property to "collapsed" and implemented some javascript functionality in the search iView that expands the searchResult iView when a search is performed:
    function openIview( iviewID ) {               
      var temp = parent.pageSupport._getIvuPageId(iviewID);
      var ivuBankObj = parent.pageSupport._getIViewBank(temp);
      if (ivuBankObj.getToogle() == 0) {
        var trayid = ivuBankObj.getTrayId();
        var event = document.createEventObject();
        event.type = "click";
        if(parent.htmlb_TrcToggle(trayid,'0',event)) parent.pageSupport.ivuToogle(iviewID);
    We then fire an event:
    EPCM.raiseEvent('...', 'SearchEvent', param, '');
    All works fine, except for the very first time the searchRersult iView is expanded after the application (meaning the page containing the iViews) has been opened. The searchResult iView is properly expanded, but the event seems to get lost so that no search is being performed (no error, but no reaction by the iView).
    We observed that it seems as if the contents of the iView are only fetched by the browser when it's expanded for the first time. (The progress bar of the browser shows loading activity when expanding the iView for the first time). Supposedly the event gets lost because the serachResult iView doesn't fetch it since it's just being loaded.
    After this initial erroneous behavior, the iView can be in compressed or expanded state before a search is being performed and everything works fine.
    Interestingly enough the problem can be resolved by setting a timeout of several seconds after expanding the iView and before firing the search event. But we find this to be a very questionable (and inconvenient) method of solving this problem and would rather like to solve it properly.
    Does anyone have any ideas how we could achieve this? Is there a way to determine whether an iView has been loaded by the browser (because obviously displaying and loading an iView seem to be two different things)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jens

    We introduced a boolean "isInitial" flag to the bean which we use to determine whether the iView is expanded for the first time or not. If so, there is a timeout of 2 seconds before the event is fired.
    Not really satisfactory, but working.

  • Blank spaces at the end of an IDoc text field get lost when posted to R/3

    Hi Guys,
    I am facing the following issue:
    In an XML file-to-Idoc scenario, there are spaces at the end of a text field in the inbound XML file, which I can see when I open the inbound file with a text editor like notepad, and they are kept after XI mapping is executed (I can see them in message mapping simulator). However, it seems that these spaces get lost once the IDoc is posted to SAP R/3 and they are not visible on SAP R/3 side.
    Do you have any idea ? Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    Evaggelos Gkatzios

    That means SAP is removing the spaces from IDoc fields, where you spaces are not allowed. Does it create any problem?
    Thanks,
    Nabendu.

  • Hyphen gets lost when printing to computer to plate

    hello!
    i´ve got a big problem. I have a pdf from a client and everything is fine while checking the pdf.
    acrobat preflight and my creo software tell me, that everything is ok.
    but when die creo rip produces the output date, its a tiff file, the hyphenation at the end of a line gets lost.
    e.g prob-lem looks like pro lem.
    my client uses indesign version 6.0, with version 6.0.4 there are no problems.
    the pdf is exportet to acrobat level 1.3.
    I couldn´t find anything that explains this error.
    We produced 18000 broschures and the client doesn´t accept them.
    thanks
    michael

    Over years of experience in the graphic design and printing industries, I have seen this sort of problem from time to time with both film and ctp RIPs. They are most often, although not always, caused by an issue with the RIP software being out of date.
    IF the hyphens are visible in the PDF, the RIP software should process them properly.
    I have also learned that visual checking is essential. The client should ALWAYS supply a laser printed copy and even a cursory comparison between the film, plate or first sheets off press should reveal the more obvious problems.
    I doubt that you will be able to tell the customer that the problem is his fault.

  • IPhoto gets lost when I try to edit

    Hello all,
    I am completely new to Mac's and iphoto and I'm having a terrible problem when I try to view pics in iPhoto. I've imported a couple hundred photos (busy christmas) and moved them into neatly organized albums. I've rotated them this way and that while viewing them at thumbnail size. My problem is, when I double click on a photo to edit, my machine seems to get lost. Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes I get a little gray spinning thing. The machine has not crashed (I can still go back to another album / library) but I can't view my photos close up. I've done all the "software updates" and I have checked that the photos are actually on my HD (I can call them up in "Preview") Any thoughts?
    --Idiot

    Paul,
    Those two folders are not supposed to be there, so drag them out into the Pictures folder for now.
    Since you have only had your computer a month, I think it is best to just create a new library and import the images from the old back into it.
    Close iPhoto
    Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
    Drag this library to your desktop
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
    This is the window you will get
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library
    Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    After the new library is created and your images imported into I want you to check those two folders I had you drag to the Pictures folder and see if those images are in your library. If not then drag those two folders into an open iPhoto Library viewing window. You can also just use the File>add to library command and navigate to a folder at a time and choose it to import.
    let me know how it goes.

  • Tags get lost when archived (Mac OS X 10.8, Thunderbird 31.6.0)

    I tag messages in Inbox and Sent folder immediately, later archive them with "A" shortcut. This worked well until I upgraded Thunderbird to 31.6.0.
    Now my tags get lots when moving to the Archive, and even when I tag them again, tags get lost after a while (restart of thunderbird it seems).
    This problem occurred in the German version, testing the English version for a few days, tags do not get lost, it works fine.
    I got the idea to change to the basic version from another thread, where a Turkish user had problems with tags as well.

    Just for further confirmation that the installation went through succesfully multiple times:

  • Digital Signatures getting lost when page presence set to hidden

    HI All,
    My project uses a multi page PDF which has signature fields in different pages. Because of performance issues i am showing only one page at a time and using navigation buttons to browse through pages. So when the PDF loads it displays Page1 and i sign the Digital Signature field and Click the next button which has event like
    Page2.presence="visible";
    Page1.presensce ="hidden";
    Now page2 is visible and if i move back to the Page1, the digital signatures are lost.
    But if i dont click the button , and save the PDF, the signature field is retained.
    I am not sure how can i retain the signature in this scenario
    Any help on this greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    What viewer are you using for showing the PDF?

  • Fm-xrefs getting lost when converting DITA to FM DITABOOK

    Hi,
    I'm using fm-xrefs for all my cross references within my DITA project. They work fine when I generate .chm files, but the hyperlinking is lost completely when I generate .fm documents by building an FM DITABOOK. I'm using the standard Adobe DITA plug-in in and FM 8.
    Any clues how I might preserve the links?
    Grateful for help.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    Hi Ian...
    I'm pretty sure that there is no simple solution for you. Unless this was fixed in a patch that I'm unaware of, the FM8 DITA support doesn't repoint the @href attributes to the FM file topics after the map to book conversion. The @hrefs are probably still pointing at the source XML files, which isn't going to work since they aren't part of the book. Take a look at the attributes under the xrefs after the conversion.
    Note that you can use DITA-FMx with FM8 which does work properly in this regard.

  • CS5 - Layer links get lost when copying/duplicating to another psd-file

    Hello,
    Following problem when using Photoshop Extended CS5 12.0.4 on OSX 10.6 described as example situation:
    1) You have a psd file with several layers and/or groups.
    2) Let's say 1 layer (N1) is linked to another layer(N2)  in that file and a further layer (N3) is again linked to another layer (L4). That makes 2 linked layers sets. (N1 and N2;  N3 and N4)
    3) When copying those linked layers to another existing file (either by using drag and drop, but also if using the duplicate layer/group menu option), all linked layers get linked together as one link, meaning that your previous SETS of linked layers are gone. (all 4 layers are linked together now as one instead of 2 separate sets of 2 interlinked layers.
    Note: The only way to partially fix it was to duplicate the group  into a new file (using duplicate layer group from menu option as new  file), but i require it to be working for copying content from one  existing file to another existing file, hence this method is not  satisfactory.
    4) Does anyone know how this can be fixed, it looks like a PS bug to me?
    Any suggestions appreciated, many thanks.
    Best regards
    Manuel

    Hi Dave, thanks for your swift reply.
    The sample i have posted is just to explain the priniciple. Usually we work on very complex images with loads of groups and linked content.
    Therefore drag each set of links is not really an option in this case, as it would cost quite a bit of time.
    Our workaround trick at the moment is to mark the linked layers in colours in the layer palette and relink them after they have been duplicated but again this is not ideal. Thank you for your response, much appreciated.

  • Song order in playlists gets lost when I sync my Zen To

    Weird problem here...when I create a playlist in the Creative software on my computer (what is it called, MediaSource or something?), I drag the songs into the order I want them played. However, when I sync to my Zen Touch, the **bleep** thing plays them in alphabetical order according to artists' names. I can't get playlists on my Zen Touch to play in the order I desire. Any thoughts?
    TIA!

    Be warned that Notmad works in a very different way to MediaSource as it has no concept of a PC Music Library. Basically it works by drag 'n drop of files onto a device within Windows Explorer, but it's on device management functions are great, along with playlist sorting and randomising. Also you can drag and drop playlist files e.g. M3U, and it will convert to a playlist and not copy the files (assuming the files are already present on the player with the same tag data).

  • Images used in ppt get lost when inserting them into captivate project

    I've been seeing this issue in both Captivate 3 and 4.
    Basically, I have successfully recorded a software demonstration, and wanted to add some powerpoint slides to the project. These slides include some diagrams containing graphics.  When I go to insert the slides into the project, the preview shows that some of the graphics are gone, and when I complete the operation, this is confirmed. Many of the graphics in my slides are now missing after the insert/import. I created the slides with office 2007, but saved them in 97/2003 format.
    This is frustrating to say the least, since these slides are an integral part of the demo I am trying to create.
    Any ideas on how to get this working?

    Hi there
    Sometimes we see that when you choose to import from PowerPoint it doesn't go so well and you don't end up with what you expect. One possible workaround involves launching PowerPoint and simply recording the desired slides using Captivate. Either that or simply grab screen captures of the slides as you wish to see them in Captivate.

  • Adjusting the crop (was LR gets lost when I shrink it)

    I am using LR on my Mac and love it, but it has developed an annoying habit.  When we shrink it and then go to the dock to reopen it, it refuses to open up again.  We have to close LR and then reopen it.  This also sometimes happens when we open safari - again we have to close LR and reopen it.  Thanks for your help!
    Dodie

    There shouldn't be any rotation involved. Don't rotate the rectangle, just resize it.
    Press "R" to bring up the crop. You should also get an cursor that looks like a traditional cropping square. Just draw a rectangle with the cursor. It can be tall or wide. If the image is already cropped you will get a different cursor. Click Reset in the toolbox to clear the crop and you should get the crop tool cursor again. Then drag out your (tall or wide) rectangle.  By moving the crop cursor left/right or up/down while resizing the box it will change the rectangle from wide to tall.

  • Why does formatting get lost when copy and pasting slides between projects?

    I'm beginning to copy and paste several slides from a project that was created in Captivate 6. I've opened the project in 7.0.1 and saved it. Next, I've copy and pasted about 20-30 slides from the old project into my new template. In the process, many slides have lost "bold" and "bullets". It's worth noting that many slides have remained correct. I also find myself having to reset slide templates and toggle off quiz buttons that I've already toggled off in old project.
    This isn't part of the same problem, but related. When I copy slides from the new template I mentioned into the old one (in hopes that Advanced Actions would transfer correctly), I've noticed that none of the item names have transferred over with the copy and paste. Instead of seeing the button name I've created, it changes to "shape, text_caption, etc", the default.
    I'm hoping the copy pasting between projects becomes more efficient, I'm finding myself burning unneccessary time doing more QA and microscopic investigation, although I suppose more QA isn't always a bad thing.
    System is the following:
    OSX 10.8.5
    Captivate 7.0.1
    Safari 6.0.5
    Blood Type: oops, wrong forum.

    When copy/pasting between different versions that has always been a problem, especially with question slides. There seem always to be changes that make such a transfer difficult. Did you try to open the CP6 project first in CP7 and see what worked? And do you use exactly the same theme (object styles, master slides, skin editor)?
    Copy/paste slides, objects with advanced actions: bit same problem, works best if done between CP7 projects. The problem that each object needs to have a unique ID (name) is what causes the renaming to generic names.

  • Parameter values getting lost when generating report to .pdf

    Report Builder 6.0.8.26.0
    I have a report which accepts 3 parameter, :v_id, :a, :b, :v_id is numeric, other char.
    I display them on the report and use them in the query. When I run the report, everything is ok in the previewer and when I print a hard copy.
    When I select generate -> pdf, the :a & :b parameters do not display on the report and the queries run the same as if I set :a & :b to a null value.
    Anybody seen this and have anykind of fix. I know I can generate the script for the query and then use and external query & might have to, but I was trying to find something else.

    Hi Chris
    I suggest you apply Reports and Forms Integrated patch on your setup. You can download the patch from metalink site.

  • Interesting Problem: Songs get lost when exporting and importing a playlist

    So I exported my library as a txt playlist, removed some songs, and imported that new smaller playlist, and I get the "some of the songs in the file were not imported because they could not be found."
    I then exported the new playlist to compare, and there were about 200 songs that itunes wasnt able to import (even though they exist in my library). I didn't alter any of the data in the origional playlist txt doc (only deleted rows), and didn't move the files at all.
    Of the files that weren't imported, I can play just fine in my Music library.
    Any ideas why some of the songs exported from itunes, can't be imported as a playlist?
    For troubleshooting purposes: none of the songs are protected, the largest text length in any field of the ones not imported is 195 characters, all of the songs are on a removable HDD but the HDD is connected just fine (I can see and play the songs it doesn't import back in from my library).
    If this is confusing, I'll tell you what I am doing and hopefully it will make sense. I like my music labeled thusly: White Stripes, The NOT The White Stripes
    The way I find to best acheive this is leave the artist field The White Stripes, but make Album Artist field White Stripes, The
    So I wanted to find all the songs with artists that begin with The (and no I don't want to just search because I end up with a lot of extra stuff, and sorting by artist doesn't group all of the bands with the in the T's). So what I did was export my library as a playlist, sort by alpha in excell (where The White Stripes shows up in the T's instead of the W's), deleted everything else (except the header row of course), and tryed to import the playlist hoping I could just change stuff by selecting the playlist). But it didn't import a bunch of my songs that the program itself exported a few minutes earlier.

    still curious why a playlist exported from iTunes is not always a vaild format for input back into iTunes
    Not sure, but editing a playlist export and then importing the change back into iTunes is kind of dicey -- maybe you edited too much and cut off some important information? Glad that your ultimate goal has a solution though.
