Looking at and viewing files

Does anyone know how I would look at files I have saved on my media card/internal memory like pdf's and view them.

you can do that provided you have an OS with a version 4.5 or higher.

Searching and viewing files

The first few times I opened Bridge CS5 to search for and view files stored on a server it worked perfectly; specific pdf files were found from several hundred job folders and only the files in the folder that I named “client approved” were shown.
I believe I may have cleared the cache because I have not been able to find the same files that I once previously found; yet the files are present on the server and have not moved. I have since “built and exported cache” for some brand folders but now when I search for a specific file all versions of the file (client approved and not approved which are in separate folders within a specific job folder) are presented as thumb nails. I would like for only the “client approved” files to be shown as thumb nails. How can I make this happen and work as it did the first few times I worked with Bridge?

but now when I search for a specific file all versions of the file (client approved and not approved which are in separate folders within a specific job folder) are presented as thumb nails.
If you want to search for a specific word you should use the Find command under the Edit menu and select the proper main folder and choose client approved and equals. Be sure to have also include non indexed files and including subfolders selected. Bridge needs time to index all the files so the first time you use 'include non indexed files' it may take a while.
You could choose to create keywords or labels for approved files, it makes it easier to find and select.
Also be aware that Bridge is not designed to work over a network and/or using a server so this might also causing some problems.

Download and view file from db

Hi!
Is there any way to download the file from db and view its contents?
Using webutil I can download the file to a specific location in the client machine. Since I don't know what type of file is (pdf, doc, txt...), I don't know how can I view the file in the client browser...
Is there a way to download the file into a temp directory and show the content in the web browser?
Thanks!
Ana

It worked, thanks!
But I have a little problem with .doc files....
I download the file from db using webutil (showing a file dialog window to save the file to a specific directory in the client), the file is downloaded successfuly and when I call "web.show_document('file:///c:\temp\test.doc','_blank')", appears the window telling me to save the file to disk or to open the file from its current location... It was supposed not to show this window and to open the file directly from its location....
How can I do this?
Thanks!
Ana

One problem - now another - opening and viewing files

When I try to open an AVI file - I get the sound fine - with NO video at all. Any ideas? I have Quicktime Pro.
Thanks

Well I’m still wondering if it is compatibility issues because I’m also having problem with Photoshop CS5. These 3 are all bought at the same time (PC, Illustrator and Photoshop installers). The problem I’m having in Photoshop is not that too important, every time I Ctrl+O to view files, all PSD are shown in white paper like icons, no preview, and saving as well.
Or I just purchased a corrupted or pirated installers… Adobe updates are done every time I’m prompted.

I can't open and view files on my macbook

Hi again, I have already tried this and it did not work for me......
OS X Lion: If you don’t have the correct permissions to open a file or folder
If you don’t have permission to open open a file or folder, you may be able to change the permission settings (”privileges”).
Select the item and choose File > Get Info.
Click the triangle next to Sharing & Permissions to expand the section.
Open the pop-up menu next to your user name to see the permissions settings. If you are not logged in as an administrator, you may need to click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password. If you’re the only user of your computer, you are the administrator. If the setting for your account is No Access, you can’t open the item.
If you can’t change the permissions, contact an administrator of your computer or the owner of the file or folder.
If necessary, you can use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your disk.
I have not changed anything on my computer which is a macbook pro OS X 10.7.4 so this is confusing to me.. If you can help with an easy fix, please let me know. Thanks!

I would agree with the other poster....you're probably talking about WMV files. Those are the typical standard from PC. Just grab the free Flip4Mac player. If you need to convert them to mov, for some reason, you'd have to pay for the upgraded version.

My H.264 MPEG4 files turn into -1.MOV files after saving and viewing file

info the in the Metrics inspector File Info box of the movie page. Some people I send video to get their email at their work and are not always able to view the files even if they are less then 1MB, and so not sure if the -1.mov makes it too big (which I checked and it didn't seem to) or (quicktime is not supported on their machines) but the file type shouldn't change from .mp4 to .mov anyway.
Anybody have heard of this or have an idea of what iWeb is doing and how to best insure I can share my Mac iWeb movies at low tech PC server locations?

Okay so I've been looking into this in depth over the past few days and I haven't come up with a lot. I have noticed that it's not just the render files but also the inspection window where the clip displays in this manner. It looks like the luma range (as seen in YCbCr scope) is being limited between 7.5 and 92 IRE and I think this is maybe a good indicator of the problem. Why this is happening I don't understand. On my clips that were previously rendered in this timeline there is full range from 0 to 100 in the luma from the YCbCr scope. These files were rendered to an external drive from before I reinstalled Premiere, so it's any h.264 files that I am using after reinstall that are having this issue. I have attached another screen capture illustrating this (look at line to right of scope showing full luma range). Also I have some .mts files from another camera and they import with full luma range as well.

When playing my h.264 files in Quicktime or VLC they look about the same in terms of blown out whites and crushed blacks. Does Premiere rely on Quicktime for its h.264 codec or does it have it's own? Is there a way to force premiere to update its codecs/manually download and replace the h.264 codec?
I really can't understand what's happening here and I can't do any work when imported clips are this messed up. Can someone please help out on this!!! Super frustrating and seems to constantly happen with Premiere...

WEBUTIL (attach and view files from database) --- Vista vs. XP differences

I have attached the following code. We are using Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.3 patch
My questions are provided following the code.
-- Open the local temporary file --
-- v_COMMAND := 'cmd /c start "" /WAIT "' || v_FULL_FILENAME || '" /w';
v_COMMAND := 'cmd /c start "" /WAIT "' || v_FULL_FILENAME || '"';
v_PROCESS_ID := WEBUTIL_HOST.blocking( v_COMMAND );
v_TEMP := WEBUTIL_HOST.GET_RETURN_CODE( v_PROCESS_ID );
If v_TEMP <> 0 Then
r_ERR_MSG := 'Host command error(' || To_Char( v_TEMP ) || ')';
v_FLAG := WEBUTIL_FILE.DELETE_FILE( v_FULL_FILENAME ) ;
RAISE PANIC;
End if ;
if p_FILE_ACCESS = 'W' then
-- Re-store the modified file in the database --
If Not Webutil_File_Transfer.Client_To_DB ( v_FULL_FILENAME, 'mis_mst.FT_SUP_FILES', 'FILE_DATA',
'FILE_NBR = ' || To_Char( p_FILE_NBR ) ) Then
r_ERR_MSG := 'Error on storing file';
Raise PANIC;
Else
Clear_Message;
-- show_message('File re-stored in the database') ;
End if;
else
Clear_Message;
-- show_message('NOTE: "' || v_FILENAME || '" was not updated in the database' );
end if;
-- Remove the temporary local file --
v_FLAG := WEBUTIL_FILE.DELETE_FILE( v_FULL_FILENAME ) ;
If v_FLAG = FALSE Then
Bell ;
-- show_message( 'Error removing "' || v_FULL_FILENAME || '" from the PC.' );
End if ;
For the most part, we are able to open files in both XP and Vista. We are having a couple of problems with certain file types; specifically, (JPG and ZIP).
We have a workaround, but I would like to know why the problem occurs.
When the user opens a JPG from our application using the Windows Vista client (JPG are associated with Windows Media Player by default), the system will not open the file. The system states that the file doesn't exist. What I think is happening is that Windows Media Player takes awhile to load and before WMP is fully loaded, the file is deleted (the /WAIT command must not fully wait for the command to complete, causing Forms to continue with its code to delete the file). When WMP tries to open the file, the file has already been deleted from the operating system. I have tried the "/WAIT <filename>" and the "/WAIT <filename> /w" parameters.
The workaround is to reassociate the file with MS Paint or Microsoft Office Viewer (instead of Windows Media Player).
Are any of you aware of issues (or differences) in the wait command between Windows XP and Windows Vista?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
I believe that will work (adding a sequence number to the end of the filename)!
We do not allow a user to update the file, only view. If a user wants to make a change, they need to remove the existing file (from the database), create a new file (outside of our application), and attach the file in our application (into the database). All updates occur outside of our application - we are not a document authoring system, just a document storage system.
Once again, many thanks on the solution!

Is livecycle rights management provide support for android(mobile) for protection and viewing file securely- interms of API/SDK or App?

I have gone through the rights management flow of Livecycle for microsoft office extension.
However, was interested to know about is there any app or SDKs supported by livecycle on mobile devices(android).
Case study of rights management shows that live cycle has deployed and offered solutions in mobile devices using SDKs. However, couldn't find any resources or documents regarding the same.

Ok, that means live cycle (in mobile devices) is protecting only pdf documents at this point of time.
So what about in the PC and MAC ? Live cycle has the capability to protect and consume/view office or other documents?
Also is there any plans to support files/documents(apart from pdf) in the android(mobile) devices?

External hard drive and viewing files

I have recently upgraded to a 15 inch 2014 Macbook Pro (OS X Yosmite Version 10.10) and imported all my old iMovie files from time machine without any major issues. I'm now running iMovie 10.0.6 and I have since had to move them to a external hard drive and want to delete them off my computers hard drive to free up space, but my problem is this......the files appear under the external drive in iMovie, but under Finder I can't physically see the actual files on the hard drive. Just a film strip icon with what I named the external drive and some old files. Anyone else had this problem or any suggestions?

IIn iMovie 10.0.6 all Events And projects are saved in one iMovie file!!!!! So no chance to see the created events and projects in old filed and folder structure which is a big **** regarding backups as the one file can be TB big although only a small piece in it has changed.

Can I connect to a windows server to veiw and download files to mark and return to server??

Can I connect to a windows server to download and view files and return to server???

I use the FTP on the Go Pro app to do just this. I don't know what kind of servers I connect to though but I've not had any problems connecting.
I connect and select a file. I update the file, then tap save. The file is uploaded back to the server and the original version is ved just in case I might need it.

Is there a way to change settings for "date modified" to reflect true file changes instead of changing upon viewing files? This is not just a Word issue.

My team and I open and view files all the time without editing them but the date modified changes anyway. This gets especially troublesome when we are working on files on each others desktops remotely. Is there any way to change these settings to reflect only changes instead of views, moves, and the like? I've read similar posts that have all reference Microsoft products but that is not the case. Our systems here operate in this way regardless of application/file type.

Color issues w/ .png and .gif files in CS5.5 Live view

Hi All,
I am having a bunch of trouble with my .png and .gif image files in Dreamweaver CS5.5. In Dreamweaver's design view everything looks fine but when I preview my pages in Live View or in a browser the colors in my .png and .gif files are way off. All my images are designed in RGB.
Any info anyone has to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

GIFS contain a maximum of 216 colors (web safe palette)
PNG and JPG can contain 16 million colors (true color palette),
When you say the colors are "way off" we don't know what you mean.
Can you post a link to your web page?
