Meaning of additional info to .dv file name
I'm fairly new to imovie as well as to using a Mac. (already sold on it though and will never switch back to PC)
When I export to a file in .dv format and view the file in finder there is a number under the file name, e.g. 63.56.20. What is the meaning of this number? I have exported the same clip with slightly different settings and get a totally different number.
Thanks / Peter
Matt,
Thanks, I now know more than I did before but it still makes me curious what these numbers stand for. I actually exported exactly the same clip, first with highest quality and then with expert settings, best possible dv settings. The first dv-file has the number 19.10.54 the second one 63.56.20. I have checked in file info and found nothing that would relate to these numbers. The clip is 26 minutes, 16 seconds and 17 frames.
I guess I have to accept this as one of life's small mysteries unless someone out there happens to know more.

Hello,

Additional words added to file name
For certain forms, when the user submits the form the file name, as expected, is the name that I gave the form. But additionally, Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf is added after the file name. See figure. Is there a way to keep the "Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf" from being added?
Thanks,
MDawnI have a submit button that "clicks" a hidden button. The hidden button has script that verifies that all
required fields are filled in. Script on that button "clicks" another invisible button which opens email where
the user selects the email recipients.
I put the script you suggested in the PreSubmit event of the form, and then each of the Submit buttons and none of these worked.
Thanks,

Changing the setting name in the file name
How do I change en masse the file name in a compressor batch?. Say, instead of having the default codec name, IE "Apple Pro Res," I could choose something unique for myself.
Or how do I just get rid of it the setting tag without using a custom destination?
Studio X wrote:
"You can permanently solve the issue by making a simple change in the Preset.
Click on your preset to load it into the Inspector in Compressor
Click on the "actions" icon underneath the Names & Descriptions fields.
Go down to Default Destinations and set it to " Source w:o additional names"
Save the preset.
Now every time you apply the preset you'll get the file placed back into the source folder without the additional info in the file name.
One caveat - make sure that your new file name does not exactly match (including the suffix) the original file. If it does, you'll overwrite the original.
x"
However I did not find this "w:o additional names" option.
I am running Compressor V 3.5.3 - is that the reason?
Cheers,
EdwinCould be a version thing.
In 3.5.3 it works like this:
You first need to create a new Destination:
In compressor select the Destination Tab (1), then press the PLUS sign (2).
Select Local (if it's going to be on your computer) or Remote (if it's on a network)
Compressor will ask you which folder. In this example I created a new folder, called 'testingfolder' (3).
In the Inspector then you can choose the naming options. Which is now right by default (4). So you don't have to alter that.
Now do all steps as Studio X described, but a slightly different:
"You can permanently solve the issue by making a simple change in the Preset.
Click on your preset to load it into the Inspector in Compressor
Click on the "actions" icon underneath the Names & Descriptions fields.
Go down to Default Destinations and set it to " Source w:o additional names"
...set it to 'testingfolder'
Save the preset.
Now every time you apply the preset you'll get the file placed back into the source folder without the additional info in the file name.
One caveat - make sure that your new file name does not exactly match (including the suffix) the original file. If it does, you'll overwrite the original.
[The latter is only true if the destination folder is the same as the source folder, which I'd strongly advise not to do.]

Itunes changes the file names of all of my music when I connect my ipod...
When I open up itunes on my computer, everything looks fine. All of my music is there and I don't have any "!" by any songs. When I connect my ipod Touch and it syncs, then many of my songs have an "!" by them and if they don't have an "!" by them, they do when I click on them to get info. The file name on the "get info." page is adding "file:/localhost/" in front of the real filename path and therefore causing me to get the message that says: The song "__" could not be used b/c the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
I don't want to go and find each & every file AGAIN....what is wrong with this thing & what do I need to do to fix it once & for all?
THANKS!Typicaly this means you have faulty copies of the music file or that the file has been moved or deleted fromt he origional spot it was downloaded to. Chances are you are going to have to update your i-tunes software and get new copies of every problem file before it willw ork again. If you are using a free version of a file sharing software(limewire,sharbear etc.) your best option would be to pay for it. It's not expensive and when you buy the software they usualy come with a virus protector to prevent you from getting bad copeis of the file.

Problem loading Image data with French accent in file name
We have a very complex commercial application that has been working perfectly in English for over a year. We have now localized it to French and Spanish, and discovered a serious show-stopping problem. We need help fast, with the scheduled release being less than 2 weeks away...!
We iterate over a folder to find all the images in it, then display those in a user window. The code for loading the images is:
for each (var name:String in filenames){
var image:SmoothImageTransformable = new SmoothImageTransformable();
var imagePath:String = dir + "/" + name;
image.source = imagePath;
trace("Adding Item to picture carousel with url " + image.source);
image.data = {directory:dir, filename:name};
image.isDragEnabled = true;
image.setStyle("horizontalCenter", 0);
image.setStyle("verticalCenter", 0);
_images.push(image);
Our SmoothImageTransformable class is an internal class that inherits from Image. This all works fine for image names like 'myFavoritePhoto', 'test', 'photo346', etc. However, it fails to load the data if the file name is something like 'caméra' Any name with a UTF-8 character causes the data load to fail.
To be sure we weren't doing a load somewhere else in the code that I had overlooked, I added a "image.autoLoad = false' line in there. That did exactly as expected -- all image squares then show a grey blank, with no image shown. Removing that line (reverting to the original code, as shown above) causes all the images to work perfectly, except for those with French accent characters like the é.
HELP! Is this a known bug? Is there some additional setting I need to make it understand the extended character set? I can't find any mention about this at all in the documentation.@markerline:
We have a fix! Almost... I don't understand one aspect of what I am seeing though.
We have one test file named "camèra.jpg" that is an example of what I am unable to load into an Image. I decided to examine the character codes at each letter, and this is what Flex has as the string:
name = cam?ra.jpg
[0] = c; 0x99
[1] = a; 0x97
[2] = m; 0x109
[3] = ?; 0x232
[4] = r; 0x114
[5] = a; 0x97
[6] = .; 0x46
[7] = j; 0x106
[8] = p; 0x112
[9] = g; 0x103
Note that the è prints as gibberish in the trace statement, and shows a numeric encoding of 0x232. According to
http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/web2/action/appb_01.htm
The unicode equivalent of Latin1 for è is 0xE8, which is equivalent to 0x232. That implies that the string is already Latin1, which I would think would mean that Windoze would recognize the file name and open it properly -- but it does not.
I then tried taking the "camèra.jpg" string, pasting it into NotePad++ in a UTF8 document, then telling NotePad++ to display as ASCII. The result is "camèra". I then tried just forcing the file name within Flex to this new mangled string. The result then is:
MAGIC name = camèra
[0] = c; 0x99
[1] = a; 0x97
[2] = m; 0x109
[3] = ?; 0x195
[4] = ?; 0x168
[5] = r; 0x114
[6] = a; 0x97
[7] = .; 0x46
[8] = j; 0x106
[9] = p; 0x112
[10] = g; 0x103
Note this time the trace statement looks proper. More important, the IMAGE DOES LOAD! (Our display of the name to the user now looks like crap, but that just means I need to modify our class to have a separate 'name' property, rather than extracting it from the 'image.source')
So... my remaining question -- what encoding did I just do through that NotePad++ incantation? That site I quoted above said that it was already Latin1, which is what I thought I was trying to get to. I clearly need to write a method to map from incoming (UTF8 I thought, but maybe Latin1?) to Windows file system (Latin1 I thought, but maybe ASCII).
In other words, I am not sure what charcter set to come from or go to... It turns out the code was already in the character set I had been trying to go to (which is why it wasn't working) and the set I seem to need to go to is not the one I thought... -

plese tell me how can i do it, i think it is possible via windows power shell.
thanks in advance.Hi
Just for completeness, what version of VB.NET are you using?
Here is a complete project to copy all the files with the added "ABL," at the start of each line. You need to start a new Project with a BLANK default Form1, and replace all of Form1 code with the code below. When you run this project, you
need to use the 2 buttons to set up the ORIGINAL file folder and a folder to place the copies. You need to check if the file EXTENSION is correct (I assumed txt), and check the text to add to each line is correct. Once all is set up you should have a
big red button to start the operation.
NOTE: it is important that you try this out on a copy of some of the files to verify accuracy BEFORE trying on original files. Make sure you have a good back up of the original files before doing anything else.

Inserting a constant after a file name
Hello all,
I have been working on a Javascript for Acrobat Pro 9, which I want to pull the first page of a PDF file & move it to another folder, I have managed to achieve this, however it would also be useful to insert an additional part to the file name...
/* Extract Cover Page Only As PDF */
// regular expression acquire the base name of file
var re = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var filename = this.path.replace(re,"");
try {
i=0;
this.extractPages(
nStart: i,
cPath: "/C/Documents and Settings/JBushfield/Desktop/Output/"+filename+".pdf"
} catch (e) {
console.println("Aborted: "+e)
I can get the script to insert a prefix to the file name but when I try to move it to after the filename ie just before the .pdf it won't play ball. I talked a colleage, who suggested that maybe as the filename is (to Adobe) variable (it's actually always 13 digits as it is an ISBN), that maybe there is someway to include this, as in place text in name after the 13 digits but I am not sure.
PS The text I want to include after the ISBN is "_Outside_Front_Cover"
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated,
Many Thanks
JoeHey Try67,
Thanks so much for helping me out here, your solution works! In actual fact I hadn't tried that, I'd closed it off ..._cover with " before the .pdf, I guess that was it, you've really helped me here! Thanks for the support, I'm pretty new to Javascripting and you've given me that extra bit of motivation.
Thanks

Comparing incoming file name having timestamp with system time.
Hi,
The scenario is File to FIle.
i have to read the incoming file name which will be having time stamp.
compare the time stamp with the system time .
if the difference in time is within specified time then send the file to target location,else send a mail that file is not placed in target location.
please enlight me on how this scenario can be done.
Thanks,
Akkasali.if you mean the actual time stamp on the file and not the file name then ref: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417300)ID2044216150DB12410233167314983393End?blog=/pub/wlg/15154
else if you mean the time stamp on the file name itself then use dynamic configuration and then read the file name and do the further processing - /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2009/03/26/dynamic-configuration-vs-variable-substitution--the-ultimate-battle-for-the-file-name -
File name trouble when exporting
Sometimes FCP is adding three characters (like for example #DD2) to the file name when exporting (cmd+e). I have never had trouble with this before. What can be the reason for this?
I don't know what's causing your problem. The only time I've seen additional characters added to file names is if the target drive is formatted as FAT16/32 and the file has to be broken into 2/4 GB chunks or if you are using compressor and you've set it up to append the preset name to the output name.
Is there anything unique about material source, processes, settings, etc when it happens vs when it doesn't?
Good luck,

Getting the Source File name Info into Target Message
Hi all,
I want to get the Source file name Info into Target message of one of the fields.
i followed Michal BLOG /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Requirement :
1) I am able to get the Target file name as same as the source file name when i check the ASMA in Sender & Receiver Adapter , with out any UDF...............this thing is OK
2) I took One field extra in the target structure Like "FileName" & I mapped it Like
Constant(" " )--UDF-----FileName
I Checked the Option ASMA in Both Sender & Receiver Adapters
Here iam getting the Target File name as same as Source file name + Source File name Info in the Target Field " FileName".
I Dont want to get the Target File name as same as Source file name. I want like Out.xml as Target file name.
If i de-select the Option ASMA in Adapters means it is showing " null" value in the target field "FileName".
Please Provide the Solution for this
Regards
BopannaHi All,

What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing." ?
What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing." I am in the process of importing photos from iPhoto (don't really know what I'm doing....) and when I look at one of the imported photos that message pops up. I know what "DSC_0088.jpg" is. I don't know what it means that the file is "missing".
CASpyr,
Thank you so much for your reply. I have a couple of bigger issues that I am dealing with: too many photos on my laptop: 40,000! (Of course I have to throw away many of them, but that is time consuming). I have a MacBook Pro and have primarily used IPhoto. I have recently purchased 2 external drives and have transferred my photos to those, but I need a basic education about how photos are stored, copied, etc. I have recently been told that iPhoto only shows and deals with jpegs, not RAW. About 1/3 of my photos are RAW, so I purchased Lightroom, so I could do more with those RAW photos. I have been told by my local Mac store that I need to delete most of my photos from iPhoto, because it's causing problems. I am reluctant to do so until I am sure that all of the keywords, descriptions and editing I have done to these photos is not lost when deleted from iPhoto. I just watched a tutorial about importing to Lightroom and got out of it that I needed to copy photos from iPhoto to a file on my desktop and then copy to Lightroom. I did that, it seemed to work. Then (because of my storage/memory issues) I deleted the photos (just a few as an experiment) from that desktop file. I'm guessing that is why Lightroom doesn't recognize the the photos. It seems that (learned from another tutorial) that one uses "Add" , Lightroom is only connecting to the source of the photo, not actually copying it to the program. Sounds like I need to use the "Move" feature instead. My ultimate goal is to store the photos on the 2 external drives and eliminate most of them from my lapop. So my basic questions have to do with what data (metadata??) is copied from iPhoto to an external drive (RAW???) and what isn't copied. Basic understanding issues,obviously…. I hope this isn't too much to ask. If you can recommend a book or resource that can explain those basic issues to me I'd appreciate it. I just got back from a trip and I can't download my new photos until I manage the rest!
Thanks,

I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer. they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info. I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing! Help!
Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.
