Make file names show in full with line breaks. How?

I use column view in Finder. When file names are long, they're truncated in the middle, with dots. If I have several, similar file names, it's a pita to find right file. Either, I have to expand the column, or click the file to see the full name, or change view to e.g. one column view. To me, this is a major bummer.
I'd like to have long file name continue in another line, like on the desktop (but not limited to two lines).
Anyone knows a hack for this or some other way to achieve it?
Cheers,
Dan

Photo file names in ipad changed with last update, how can I change them ?

When I transfered photos from my SD card to the ipad, it created an event naming it after the date pictures were taken, after last ipad OS update SOME of the events names changed to 126IMPRT, xxxIMPRT, etc not even in order of date taken, and the others remained with the date. Can someone tell me how to fix this and put them back with the date, and keep naming them with the date when transfering from the SD card?. This is strictly for the ones transfered to the ipad directly, has nothing to do with the photos transfered using iphoto. These are ok.

Thanks Applematt9812, that works great. I never saw that before. It lets you group pictures under the Albums tab nicely.
But, unfortunately, it doesn't fix the names of the groups that get created under the Events tab when you load pictures from a camera card. If that was editable it would help.

How to find PG.xml file name and path associated with a FUNCTION

Hi,
I am having a function:IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE with Web HTML value as below:
OA.jsp?akRegionCode=IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAPB=IRC_BRAND
How to find PG.xml file name and path assoicated with above funtion.
Thanks,
ashok

Ashok,
Function IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE will have 2 parameter defined for it which are OASF and OAHP where
OASF=<SelectedFunctionName> - this tells the Framework to select this function in the given "Home Page" menu context.
OAHP=<HomePageMenuName> - this is used ONLY with the OASF parameter, and it is used to establish the current menu context. It should point to a "Home Page" menu.

When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.
I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Applescript batch convert DOC to TXT with line breaks

Hey guys, I recently got stuck at work having to convert over 1,000 DOC files to TXT files with line breaks.
I've found online several different Applescripts that work great at converting DOC files to TXT files but I can't find one that will do the TXT files with line breaks.
If anyone has a script that can do this I would be crazy grateful.
Converting these one by one with Word is taking forever to do.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Excuse me for a moment for speaking harshly to you. You are causing yourself utterly unnecessary headaches by not being clear with us and not stopping to think, and it's high time you learned that that is an incorrect way to approach anything on a computer. Consider:
you don't know what you're doing (in the sense that you don't know what 'text with line breaks' means)
you don't know (or at least haven't explained) why this needs to be done
(therefore) you don't know if this needs to be done at all
(and yet) you are doing it anyway, in a mindlessly repetitive fashion, driving yourself batty and irritating me
At least for the time being, humans are the ones who think and computers the ones who grunt away mindlessly; try to reverse those roles and everything gets done badly and slowly. Stop, look, think, plan ahead - that's what your brain is good at if you give it a chance.
Now, as far as I can tell from poking around the web, 'text only with line breaks' means that the document is saved as a plain-text file, but with a carriage return linefeed combination (CR/LF) as a paragraph delimiter (this is a Windows format - unix uses a single linefeed, Macs might use a single carriage return or a single linefeed). I don't know why anyone would want that format - most software will convert that seamlessly (or at least can be told to convert that). Are you trying to feed this into some dinosaur of a database? At any rate, if that's what you want, this script should do it. caution, this script overwrites the original files; I suggest you make a copy of one or two files in a separate folder, and run the script on them first to check that the output works for whatever reason you're doing this:
set baseFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder of files to process"
tell application "Finder"
          set fileList to (every file of baseFolder whose name extension is "txt") as alias list
end tell
repeat with thisFile in fileList
          set itsText to read thisFile
          if (offset of (return & linefeed) in itsText) = 0 then
-- file is not already formatted with CR/LF, so convert
                    set itsChunks to tid(itsText, {return, linefeed})
                    set itsNewText to tid(itsChunks, return & linefeed)
                    set fp to open for access thisFile with write permission
                    set eof of fp to 0
write itsNewText to fp as text
close access fp
          end if
end repeat
on tid(input, delim)
-- handler for text items conversions
          set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, delim}
          if class of input is list then
                    set output to input as text
          else
                    set output to text items of input
          end if
          set my text item delimiters to oldTID
          return output
end tid

Replacing hyphen with line break

Hi,
In my application I want to replace the hyphen with line break
. I am using APEX4.0
I am using the following javascript code:
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function test()
var visitorName = "<br/>";
var myOldString = "&P2_SI.";
var myNewString = myOldString.replace(/-/g, visitorName);
</script>
</html>
I have no clue how to get it executed and make the javascript work.... can someone help?

My application is a online test.. One of the question in Page 3 is to re-arrange the sentence that is in the form of bullets. In the text area, as there are no formatting the candidate just gives hyphen - and enters all the sentences.. so in the DB the values are saved in the single line and when we evaluate the paper, it looks odd. So we want to replace the hyphen with the line break
, so that when evaluating the paper, the format looks good, enter of one sentence there will be a line break.
After the candidate is done with the Page 3, clickig next button, saves the values to the DB, and the page (branching) goes to Page 4 and clicking the Previous button takes the candidate to Page 2 (branching).
The Dynamic Action is created in the following order
-Advanced
-action name
-Event ->Change
Selection Type->Item(s)
Item(s)->P3_S2I
Condition-> No condition
-Action->Execute Javscriot code
Disabled Fire on Page Load (as the code should execure only after the candidate type something in P3_S2I text area or after the Next button is clicked.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var special = "<br/>";
var myOldString = "&P3_S2I.";
var myNewString = myOldString.replace(/-/g, special);
document.write("<br /> " + myNewString);
</script>
-Selection Type -> Item(s)
Item - P3_S2I
-Click Create
This time I was taken to the next page.... but at the DB level hyphen is not replaced by the line break

How to avoid starting a page with line breaks?

Hello. I've just started to refine my Master's thesis and some of the topics moved up and down as I edited their contents. The problem is that in some cases the topic breaks right after the title, and the rest of the contents just move away to another page. Is there any way to avoid starting a page with line breaks or broken topics?

At the end of your title, you didn't inserted a line break but a paragraph break (carriage return).
Acivate the mode "Show hidden characters"
Select the carriage return (paragraph break)
Delete it
Press Shift + return to insert a true line break.
It may be useful to apply that several times if you inserted several carriage returns between the title and the first filled line.

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

BUMP
Yes, I just get that message. I don't see how I could investigate this problem.
I didn't mention that this happened when I was consolidating my library, not copying files to another computer.
In other words, I'm using a "normal" itunes procedure, itunes won't complete it, and won't tell me exactly why or how to figure out how to fix it...
Is there at least some easy way to tell which files were successfully copied to my itunes music folder so I can work on moving the uncopied files?
Can anybody help me?

Screen is fussy with lines. How do I resolve this?

Sounds like you may have a screen hardware problem with your iPad. Take it to an Apple store so they can help you and let you know what it will cost to repair it

Applescript batch convert .RTF to .TXT with line breaks

Hey guys, looking for help with an Applescript that can change a .RTF to a .TXT with line breaks.
I have an Applescript that will go from a .DOC to a plain .TXT but haven't found anything to get from the .RTF to a .TXT wth line breaks.
I'm doing this for Avid's Script Sync.
Thanks for the help.

Ok, you obviously mean something specific by "line breaks" that you're not being clear about. are you looking for a specific kind of line ending: Mac style carriage return (CR) ending? Windows style carriage return line feed (CR/LF) endings, unix style line feed (LF) endings? textutil provides LF by default (it's a unix utility after all); if you need a different line ending you'll need to pipe it through tr or modify it via applescript after you've done the conversion

Re-post Replacing Hyphen with Line break

Can someone please respond to the post: Replacing hyphen with line break

Please learn proper forum etiquette. Posts like this are (a) unnecessary and (b) actually quite annoying. At the very least, bump the original posting (but not, like, 30 minutes later because noone answered).

What causes the full file name to be listed with bookmarks?

Good morning! What drives RH to list the full file name in
bookmark code in some files, and in others its just the
href="#bookmark? If you change the file name...all the bookmark
links with full file names break. Am I doing something wrong when I
created them...? Not sure how that's possible...but something is
driving this! Any helpful hints from the masters online?

Hi Teri
It's been my experience that if you elect to create a link
from inside the topic to a bookmark, and you choose the bookmark
from the dialog, you end up with a link that simply has the hash
and the bookmark (#Bookmark).
Where you see the file name preceding the hash and the
bookmark, odds are the link was created by the user clicking the
bookmark in either the Project Manager or the Topic List and
dragging from there to create the link. When links are created in
that fashion (I'm addicted to creating links that way myself - it's
like crack to me - if I knew what that was like LOL) RoboHelp
creates the link with the file name (FileName.htm#Bookmark).
Cheers... Rick

How do you sync playlist made on iPhone 6 back to iTunes on Macbook Pro? The playlist name shows up but with no content.

I made a playlist on my iPhone 6 and thought it would sync to my iTunes account when I connected my phone to my Macbook Pro but it did not. The playlist name showed up under my playlist names, but there was no content in it and it had a different playlist symbol (music note with bars) than the Smart Playlists (gear) I have made in the past on my computer. The playlist has a few hundred songs on it, so I don't want to have to do it manually. Is there a way to get the playlist content I made on my phone into my iTunes on my computer? Thanks!

How did the playlist get on your iphone?
If you created an on-the-go playlist then from page 81 of the manual:
"When you make an on-the-go playlist and then sync iPhone to your computer, the
playlist is saved on iPhone and in your iTunes library, then deleted from iPhone.
The ﬁrst is saved as “On-The-Go 1,” the second as “On-The-Go 2,” and so on.
To put a playlist back on iPhone, select iPhone in the iTunes sidebar, click the Music tab, and set the playlist to sync."
