Mark folder read causes contents of folder to be deleted. Why?

I've noticed recently that when I mark a folder as "read", the contents of the folder disappear - not "deleted" into the "Trash" folder - but they completely vanish. This is sub-optimal, to say the least.

Rule containing "Mark as Read" and "Move to Folder" does not remove New Mail Notification

I asked this question in another forum here (sorry for not linking, but the forum would not let me because my account is not yet verified):
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/rule-containing-mark-as-read-and-move-to-folder/061a8009-dd98-4304-81b0-6c4c8a5a6205
They passed the buck to this forum. Can anyone help? Here is my original post:
I have set up a rule so that emails from a certain sender should be marked as 'read' and routed to a certain folder. The rule works just fine except for the fact that it does not remove the new mail notification from the taskbar icon
or the system tray. The rule reads as follows:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with New Home Sale in the subject
move it to the _New Home Sales folder
and mark it read
Once I open the _New Home Sales folder, all messages are marked as read, as they should be. When I open any of the emails in this folder, the notification goes away. It does not even have to be the most recent email or the same folder
- opening any email from any folder clears the notification, even if the same email was used to clear it before. Previewing does not remove the notification.
I have a similar rule set up for another folder:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with New Home Final Sale in the subject
move it to the _New Home Final Sales folder
and mark it as read
The same thing happens here with the unread notification.
This is very annoying, as I want to receive these emails but I do not need to know every time one comes in.
Does anyone have any advice on this? I have read a few threads about an unread email bug, but I'm hoping I'm just missing a setting somewhere. I find it hard to believe such a bug would persist this long.

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify the Exchange version and Outlook version at first. Since I have a test in my environment using Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2010. I create a same inbox rule, it works and there is no new mail notification from
the taskbar.
What's more, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the problem is caused by add-ins.
If the issue persists, please install the Outlook latest Service Packs and check the result.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,

Mail with Exchange 2007 - Rules for "Mark as Read" and "Move to Folder"

I have seen this posted before, but never any resolution. This is very frustrating to me.
I have an Exchange account set up in the the latest version of Mail.app (4.4.1082) for OS X 10.6.6. I have rules set up for this account that tell Mail.app to mark the message as read after moving the message to a specific folder if it meets the provided criteria. The rule does move the message to the proper folder, but it does not mark the message as read. This only seems to affect Exchange accounts.
Has anybody experiencing this found a resolution? I have tried separating the rules or putting them in a different order (and mail just reorders them the way it wants which is frustrating to me as well). Seems no matter how I do it the mail either gets marked and not moved or moved and not marked.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Can my parents read the content of my messages after deletion from my phone?

Hello everyone,
First off, I'd like to thank you kindly for actually checking into this forum, it means a lot. Secondly, I have looked up a lot of information on this question, and I've been getting A LOT of mixed messages. It is to my understanding, that even though my parents are the bill payer for my phone, they do not have any right to request forms which reveal the actual CONTENT of my text messages. They CAN however, see the time, date, and how many text messages. That is just to my understanding. If someone could answer this question, please do.
Thank you.

I would just not text if you think they are going to ask verizon for what's inside them.
P.S She should be glad that she gets a free phone at all, I was age not that long ago and mean it, not in some old guy kind of way and I had to pay for my cell phone. Kids think that they Should a free NEW 20000+ car for free when they are 16 and all this crap. I am not saying I did not want any thing like that, but if I did not get it, I did not act like they hated me and crap.

Extract text file from a folder and read the content

Hi
I have "n" no.of text files saved in a folder with automatically generated naming convention which include DD/MM/YYYY and also some measurement output value.
Eg: 1) Die_1_DUT_outputvalue_DD_MM_YYYY.txt
2) Die_1_DUT_outputvalue_DD_MM_YYYY_ABC.txt
In the above files part of the 2nd file naming convention same as the first file (i.e. Die_1_DUT and DD_MM_YYYY) whereas outputvalue is different and an additional string named ABC is appended.
Now I want to search the 2nd file based on matching the naming pattern with the 1st file (note: the outputvalue in the file name is different for both files) and so far followed this method
1) Use a list folder with *.txt pattern to search all the text files and the output is a 1D array
2) then use array to cluster and then flatten to XML function to have all the text file names as a string element (not 1D array)
3) then pass the output of the 2nd step to the sting match pattern and use a regular expression to get the required file name
4) send the output of the 3rd step to search 1D array to get the index and then get the file name and later use read text file to read the content of the text file
And I am stuck at the 3rd step while sending an input as the regular expression to match the pattern as the outputvalue in the namming convention of the above two files is different is there any way I can actually extract the filename/file?
Any suggestions?

Reading the contents of a folder and store them in the database using 6i

Hi all,
I'm using developer 6i and oracle 8i,now am building personnel database,every employee has many certificates (graduate certificates,post-graduate certificates and work experience certificates),I want to scan all these certificates,put them in a folder ,give the form (employee form ) the path to the folder and the form read the contents of the folder (3 or 4 image files for example) dynamically and store them in the database.
All examples I came across explain how to load a defined image file name into oracle database,but what if the image file name is not defined (i,e dynamically generated by the scanner).
Hope I explained the case.
Thanks in advance

Sorry mhdamer,
I read the example and thought it could be modified to retreive a directory listing. There is a way to do what you want, but you will have to check to see if you have the D2kwutil.pll installed with Forms 6i. If you do not have it installed you can download the pll from OTN. This Forms Library will only work on Windows, so if you want this functionality on a non-windows machine, it will not work. Read the D2KWUTIL.html for details on how to use this library. There are also some good posts here in the forums on how to use this library. Just search on D2KWUTIL.PLL.

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder?

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder that resides in my users folder?

Problem is if I delete that .plist I'll delete those downloads. I'm still able to launch those downloads from that location so that tells that file is probably not corrupted. I need to be able to located that folder and transfer the downloads from it before I do anything like this. So that begs the question, where is that folder located? When I do a folder search I'm taken to a Downloads folder, but it's not the one that is showing up from within Safari as it's contents are too different.

How can I delete the contents in Cache.Trash folder (not the normal Cache folder)?

Recently, I keep receiving notice of "Hard Disk is Full - You have run out of disk space on drive C. To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click Disk Clean-up". But after I removed a substantial sizes of files to another drive, in a short while, the notice reappear again. I was puzzled and take a check on the files and folders in drive C and realized the problem came from those unknown files in the folder named Cache.Trash (not the normal Cache folder although they are located side by side). Some files sizes are shockingly large ranging from 2GB to 5GB. They have strange and difficult to identify File Name and File Types. When I checked the Properties of those files, they have unknown MS-DOS name, Created, Modified and Accessed dates. When I tried to delete those files directly, a notice of "Error Deleting File: Cannot delete file: File system error (1026)" appeared. Note: There are still many Free Space available in other disk drives. Any idea please?

There is no session crash here. On others start, the Cache.Trash folder and its contents still there. When a ScanDisk program is performed, after some time, a notice appeared, "ScanDisk has restarted 10 times because Windows or another program has been writing to this drive. Quitting some running programs may enable ScanDisk to finish sooner. Do you want to continue receiving this warning?" So I closed any other running application and program and restart the ScanDisk program again. After some time, the notice appeared again. I clicked No to indicate do not want to continue receiving this warning and the program keep repeating running.....how long will the program take?

Moving a folder, Linking between content areas

I have 2 problems:
1) So far we developed all our content in a single content area. We would now like to split the information into multiple content areas. The MOVE or COPY command on the folder only allows me to copy within a content area. I have hundreds of documents to move. Is there any way i can move a folder to a different content area?
2) What is the best way to link a folder from 1 content area to a folder in another content area? I found that the FOLDER LINK ITEM allows me to connect only within a content area.
(I would prefer not to use an URL since the content publishers may not be able to construct complicated paths or the paths may change leading to broken links.)

Suraj
1) The only way to do this currently is to create an export of the content area, import it back into the portal and remove the duplicate content. We are planning a bulk action feature in a future release that would allow you do to selectively copy/move one or more folders into a new content area.
2) Currently folder links are scoped within a content area; the only option is to link to the folder through a URL folder type. If you use the generated URL that contains the folder ID, you shouldn't run into any problems if the target folder is moved. I have submitted an enhancement request to extend the folder link to 'remote' folders outside of the 'home' content area.

Mac OS 10.5 /
I deleted the " Private" folder ... and emptied the trash. So the folder and its contents no longer exists on my computer at all !!!
I do have the OS 10.5 dvd that i purchased years ago...
But my computer will not start from it on its own.
My question is what is the open source or terminal language code used to tell my mac to look in the DVD rom drive for startup info? I know that im not the only person in this world who has deleted the "PRIVATE" folder and emptied the trash so it no longer exists on their machine...
That said theres gotta be a common fix for a Power PC G4 that has the OS X dvd in the rom drive but wont look to it to reinstall the vital contents of the PRIVATE folder.
Once again there is not a copy of this file or its contents in the recycle bin...
Also rebooting the machine , pressing and holding the letter C does not prompt the machine to look to the dvd rom drive.
I was reinstalling pro tools and figured I would make some room by cleaning my computers HD...
Lol It was a bad choice to delete this file ...
Thanks guys

Okay sorry it took forever to respond... But for a while there I gave up on this computer!!!!
Money's been tight lately , so taking it in to a professional was not yet an option... though I did consider it eventhough.
Anyway long story short im glad I didnt spend any money because I already had all the tools necessary to fix this issue but was going about it in the wrong way. Okay so here is my scenario and the breakdown... Though this may not fix the issue for everyone :( which *****... But I know we all will have different circumstances.
Anyway here we go...
Okay so first things first.... Years ago I purchased the OS 10.5.1 disk ... So that has always been in my possession!!!!
I realize that some may not have a disk to reflash your OS to your hard drive... but if you do your in luck.
2ndly ... I had an external harddrive with all of my itunes downloaded music so it was more than okay with me to delete my primary HD because all the important stuff could either be copied over or repathed to be located.
-------If you dont want to read through the whole story the fix is summed up in the bottom section-------
Okay so now the SOLUTION!!!!
By trial and error , and pure boredom I opened up my computer to clean the inside...
AND
"Disconnected the primary HD"
and just because ....... REBOOTED my computer. Just to see what it would do.
Upon restart and though it looked like it would repeat its usual cycle...
About 1 minute in to that process my computer froze for about 2 seconds and flashed to the OS installation screen.
Mind you I havent seen this screen yet... Probably hasnt been since I installed the OS years ago.
After a bit of trial and error...
I decided to tell my computer to startup from the OS 10.5 disk located in my dvd rom drive and restarted once again...
this setting is under
Utilities / startup disk
After a little more trial and error ... I realized that I could reconnect the primary HD , restart the machine and return to the OS installation menu.
So upon this discovery
I went to the Disk Utility located under Utilities
Highlighted my primary HD located in the left hand column
Once highlighted ...
In the heading section on the right I selected the option
Erase
in which I erased My current OS on my primary HD ...
I used the first option in the list under security... Because it seemed like the least invasive and would take the least amount of time to see if this process would actually work.
I FORGOT to add something...
Another reason why I deleted my primary HD!!!!!
I forgot to say that it WOULD NOT!!!!! Show up in the STARTUP list as an option...Even After multiple reboots....
But like clockwork... Once I deleted its name IT SHOWED UP as an option!!!!
So back to the next step...
I returned to the STARTUP option under utilities ... And was then able to see MY primary HD now as a startup option...
But ofcourse it had no name because it we previously erased it.
So when Clicking my newly erased HD ... I was almost immediately prompted to REINSTALL the OS ...
Which said it would take about 57 minutes ... But I believe was alot less...
My issue was resolved ... My computer then stated the install was SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!! :))))))))))) lol ;)
It was like I was setting up for the first time ;) asking for my registration info...
The dilemma of deleting the private folder and emptying the trash is finally over resolved. Done ... and no extra money spent!!!!!!!!!
Its really crazy that the information for such a simple thing is not readily available. Especially being such a simple fix.
I know im not the only person who's had this issue , because i've seen numerous posts with similar wording.
I also know I wont be the last person to have this issue... So I hope this synopsis makes sense.
-------One more time the fix------
*Insert your OS dvd into your dvd rom drive.
*Unplug your primary HD or corrupted startup disk
*Reboot your machine...
Upon restart your primary HD will not be recognized...
* you will then be prompted to select your language.
Once selected
*Click Utilities/startup... Highlight the the selection that refers to the OS dvd located in the dvd rom drive.
* Click restart...
!!!!!!!!!!Be sure to reconnect your Primary HD Before your computer restarts and you hear the chime!!!!!!!!
If you do not replug your HD before the chime it will not be recognized.
In that case restart again.
Upon restart once again
*Choose your language...
*Click Utilities / disk utility
In the left column select and
*Highlight your HD ...
Then towards the top portion / center of the page
*Click the heading Erase
Then on the page toward the bottom
*Click security options
This will then provide erase options.
I USED THE FIRST OPTION
"Dont erase data"...
*click OK
* click erase...
Once erased which should take a few seconds
*Cancel the disk utility...
* Click Utilities / startup
And your newly erased HD should now appear in the list.
* Select your drive from the list by highlighting
It should no longer have a name.
*Once selected, you will then be prompted to restart and install the OS to your newly erased HD...
Thats it!!!!
Once everything reinstalls re-add your personal info or registration info and you are up and running.
Goodluck ;)

Dynamic creation of folder in KM content

Hi All,
I've created a webdynpro application which creates a folder in KM Content->Discussion groups dynamically once the application loads.
I've created a iview of this application and users can access this application through the url of the iview
But the issue is that the users are not able to execute this application.I've following queries:
1) Is there any particular role that should be assigned to the user to execute this application
2) If yes, for the above question can we assign the role to the user only when the application is getting executed and then remove it.
I'll be grateful if anybody can help me out in this.
Thanks and Regards,
Pradeep

Thanks for the quick response.
I set the permission for discussiongroups as "read only".
I observed that the users having 'Content Admin' role are able to execute the application and the folder is getting created in KM content.
But the users not having content admin role are not able to execute the application and they get error as "500-Internal Server Error. Failed to process request.Please contact your system administrator"
Can you please clarify on this.Is it anything to do with the role
Reagrds,
Pradeep

You can't use icloud to store photos. There's a service called photo stream which is used to sync photos from one device to another, but this can't be used to store photos permanently.
Always sync photos from a device to your computer, Then you can delete them from the device.
Read this... import photos to your computer...

Is it possible to recover a deleted folder and its contents as opposed to an individual file?

When I turned on my computer today, a folder located on my desktop is no longer there. Astounded I could have accidentally deleted it, the folder having been trashed is the only illogical logical possibility I can think of - and is a first for me in my 30 years of Mac use. My father is in the process of dying and the folder contains all the information coming to me on the subject. The last backup of this folder is about a week old and much has been added since for which I've no record.
Not having a master document or table of contents listing what was in the folder leaving me unable to search for and recover individual files/documents by name, my question is this: Is it possible to recover a "FOLDER", and its contents after that folder has been moved from the desktop to the trash, the trash emptied, and the computer having been shut down?
If anyone has any ideas of how to recover anything about what items that folder contained, I'd really appreciate whatever thoughts you might have.
Thanks in advance -
The computer this folder is missing from is a early 2008 MacPro, running 10.7.5.

I'm not sure what you can do beyond trying to restrict the types of files you search for. These apps normally have ways to select the file types or to add example files. That allows them to carve out only those types, but you still may end up with GB's of data, especially if the types are somewhat generic. I don't know of any tools that can undo changes to the disk catalog over time.
I guess you could also search for specific text if you know that these files contained something that is 'almost unique'. Spotlight can do that, or grep, egrep are command line tools that may help ask if you want to go that route, they may help you gather lists to move files around to whittle them down.
Sorry I can't think of a way around this it's a difficult task at a difficult time. Good luck with it, ask if you think we could help.
I do wonder if Apples 'Versions' could help?
OS X Lion: About Auto Save and Versions - Apple Support
@Tony T1, do you know how to restore files from that system? I think it is part of Time Machine, but the copies are saved locally.
It is not entirely clear how it works (at least from my memory of Lion) with regards to how you could get files back in this situation. The database should be at the base of the disk in a hidden folder ".DocumentRevisions-V100", but I don't think you can just pull files out of there. Personally I'd consider making a full disk backup before you attempt to restore files. Then you could try the 'Enter Time Machine' UI to see if it can browse back to the older Desktop.

Content Area & Folder URL's

I use to be able to link directly to a content area or folder area by using the Folder Properties to copy the URL. Now, when I try to use this method it always takes me to my home page? I have users that want to link directly to one of their folders in a content area. Any ideas?
Thanks,
AG

1 From the Navigator click on the required Content Area
2 Click on the properties sheet icon
3 Cut and paste the URL
4 Copy the URL into an email
5 Send the email
6 Click on the link from the email
7 The link does not go directly to the folder but the home page instead
This used to work but doesn't anymore, I've tried this in another 309 instance and it works OK.
