Looking for "file management" program

All,
I am a collector of hundreds and hundreds of magazines, articles, etc. In recent times, I've been scanning articles from magazines and school books to digitize them.
I'm looking for a program that will allow me to "tag" files and file them accordingly (sort of like del.icio.us).
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Lindsay

LindsayB63,
Well, other than third-party software (and you have already received at least one recommendation there; will probably receive several more), a few things come to mind.
Off the top of my head, you could "tag" the resultant files with comments, or at least creative names, place them all in a central library (perhaps sorted into folders alphabetically or otherwise), then create a collection of "Smart Folders" to sort/show them according to specific criteria. You could have "standard" smart folders that are persistent, or you can use Spotlight at any time to create an "off-the-cuff" search for a particular criterion, or criteria.
In the end, your searches will only be as good as the system you develop when adding comments/keywords (given that your scans are probably images, not the results of OCR software). Which brings up another subject. If searching this content is important enough, you might want to invest in good OCR software, to convert the scanned images to real text. This text could then be searched directly, instead of second-hand via your comments and keywords.

  • How to set a root directory for file management in web application

    Is it possible to set a default root directory for file management for a web application ?
    We would upload some files and store them in the web server.
    When we write the uploaded files without any path, the files are written in the config directory into the jdeveloper embedded oc4j directory.
    When we write the uploaded with a relative path ("/somedir/filename"), the files are written in C:/somedir/filename.
    We would like that all file management with relative path into the web application refer automatically to a given root directory (for example defined in web.xml).
    Is it possible ?

    I'm using the standard upload in adf faces.
    The problem is not during upload. This is managed in a temporay directory defined in web.xml. The problem is for writing the file that was uploaded (upload give us an inputStream we have to write somewhere, eventually after unzipping).
    Here is an example of our current code.
    if (mimeType.equals("application/x-zip-compressed") |
    mimeType.equals("application/zip")) {
    File destZipFile =
    new File(rootDirectory + "/" + parametersDirectory +
    "/" + uploadedFile.getFilename());
    BufferedInputStream isZipFile =
    new BufferedInputStream(uploadedFile.getInputStream());
    FileOutputStream fosZipFile =
    new FileOutputStream(destZipFile);
    BufferedOutputStream bosZipFile =
    new BufferedOutputStream(fosZipFile, BUFFER);
    // read and write until last byte is encountered
    while ((currentByte = isZipFile.read(data, 0, BUFFER)) !=
    -1) {
    bosZipFile.write(data, 0, currentByte);
    }

  • I am looking for a flowchart program similar to Visio or SmartDraw for pc's.  Anyone have experience?

    Hi -
    I am looking for a flowchart program for my MacBook similar to Visio or SmartDraw, both of which I used with my PC before switching over.  I would like the following features:
    User-friendly
    connector lines that follow the shapes when you move a shape
    Shapes that snap to gridlines
    The ability to move the whole diagram when desired (v. shape by shape, connector by connector)
    Help available if you have problems
    I don't need a lot of sophistication.  It would be nice if it had some fun features - colors and fun connectors, etc.
    Thanks!

  • Quick Look for files without extensions.

    I have many files without extensions that quick look does not recognize as text files. Bash shell scripts generally do not use an extension, for example (they are identified by their first line). Similarly I have a lot of text file notes w/o a ".txt" extensions.
    Is there any way to have quick look recognize these as text files? They currently have either text edit or textmate as their default "open with" app. I presume there is a config file of some sort for quick look that will let me default files with no extension to text files, but have not found it yet.

    What is the best program to use on Mac for editing, cropping photos from my computer. Looking for a free program that is good.

    If your needs are limited to those tasks then both Preview and iPhoto will fit the bill They are already on your Mac. There is a free download from Google called Picasa available here:
    http://picasa.google.com/
      It works much the in same manner as iPhoto. For some really heavy duty work there is GIMP available from SourceForge:
    http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/  Also a free download.

    Is there any documentation confirming these programs are compatible? A how to for matching them up?

  • Foreach Loop Container with a Data Flow Task looking for file from Connection Manager

    So I have a Data Flow Task within a Foreach Loop Container. The Foreach Loop Container has a Variable Mapping of User:FileName to pass to the Data Flow Task.
    The Data Flow Task has a Flat File Source since we're looking to process .csv Files. And the Flat File Source has a Flat File Connection Manager where I specified the File name when I created it. I thought you needed to do this even though it won't really
    use it since it should be getting its File name from the Foreach Loop Container. But when attempting to execute, it is blowing up because it seems to be looking for my test file name that I indicated in the Flat File Connection Manager rather than the file
    it should be trying to process in User:FileName from the Foreach Loop Container.
    What am I doing wrong here??? I thought you needed to indicate a File name within the Flat File Connection Manager even though it really won't be using it.
    Thanks for your review...I hope I've been clear...and am hopeful for a reply.

    The Flat File Connection manager's Connection String needs to be set to reference the variable used in the ForEach Loop:

  • Looking for rights manager

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a tool in order to manage rights (acl) on my file server. I would like to permit to some end users to manage the rights without allowing us to use Admin Server.
    The info window in the Finder does not work properly with ACL. When I add a group or when I modify a right they didn't refresh the value. I need to close and open the info windows to see the changes.
    Thanks

    Ironically the SID is not listed on Microsoft's web page for well know
    SIDs. I also noticed that when I dump the local users using powershell, every group and user is listed that I would expect to see, but this one is not in that list. It seems like it should be pretty easy for Microsoft to say what this does and when it can
    be safely removed...
    I figure one of two possibilities. Either this only matters when a specific feature is installed / active, or it is some remnant from development for a feature or implementation that didn't make it into the release to manufacturing. What ever the case it
    would be nice if we could get clarification.

  • Looking for timer / bell program.

    Hey all,
    I am looking for a program that will play a sound / music file at various, specific times during the day, similar to a schoolbell.
    ex. I would like at 10:45, 11:24, 1:30 a sound event etc.
    Any suggestions? I haven't found anything useful. Any widgets, or program options would be welcome.
    Thanks in advance

    Can't you use iCal's built in Alarm system? If you create a new event in iCal you should be able to set the alarm to do something, ie ring a bell. If the bell on your computer isn't enough, it's possible you could have it open an Apple Script which rings a more appropriate bell. I've not tried that, but it might work. HTH.

  • Looking for document management software.

    I am looking at document management software but can't seem to find what I need. I want something that creates a numerical file name for every document that I save that is automatically generated. In the PC world I know that Worldox does this but I cant seem to find something for the mac. I tried to get some help with this a while back when I was starting my business but had to make do with what I had and have been busy since then. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    the goal would be to open a new pages document and it was save as "00001" then if I scanned something in after that it would be "00002" then the next pages document would be "00003" and so on.
