Messed up locale- trying to display Hebrew file names +English int

Hi,
This morning I did a fresh installation of Arch-X86_64/KDE 4.8.
Being in Israel, I'd like to display (some) Hebrew file names in Hebrew characters (but keep the user interface in US English!), both in KDE and in the terminal.
I couldn't achieve this, and probably messed up my locale:
My current locale commands yields:
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
My fstab is configured as follows (the Hebrew files are in my /home):
UUID=9d6eb8a2-be83-477b-976e-e6d1ad560f8d /home ext4 defaults 0 1
Please advise, including how do I modify my locale.
Thanks!

Have you already tried to generate and set the locales as described in this wiki article?

and setxkbmap il works to set Hebrew for my applications (I have the culmus package installed which provides Hebrew fonts), but not for my terminal and I can't save filenames in Hebrew.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to put Hebrew fonts into my Console fonts directory?

If you use systemd you should use its config files: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … figuration
The locale output you posted is not related to your question. I have Hebrew enabled and typing locale here outputs:
% locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
The locale -a output is similar to yours.
If you changed your locale configurations before the last kernel update you may need to "mkinitcpio" manually. Not sure.
Edit: Hebrew file names work fine.

Configuration - Display of file names

I am running DW8 and SourceSafe 2005. Everything was working
well. At some point DW began displaying the file names as 8.3
filenames with the ~ at the end of the name if the file name was
longer that 8 characters. Everything still saves to SourceSafe
correctly and I am able to put the files to the Web server
correctly. In each of those areas the long file names are correct,
but in DW I get 8.3 names. This is very difficult because are files
are grouped by type of page, so if it was a product page the file
might be called productBaseContent.jsp, or productExtContent.jsp,
and in DW you see produc~1.jsp, and produc~2.jsp.
I have looked and tried to find a solution, but to
noavai~1..... So I then uninsta~2, and reinst~3 DW, this also did
not solve the issue. Any help would be gladly accepted...

A FileDialog just returns a String, which is the pathname of the file that was selected when the dialog was dismissed. The FileDialog does not automatically do anything with that String, like open the specified file. What you do with the String is up to you.
Are you using the String to try to open a file? If so, post that code.

How can I get the Organizer in Elements 12to display the file name and date of the thumbnail images?

The View menu option to display the File Name is grayed out and thus I cannot display the file name.

Hi,
You need to go to View menu and check Details as well.
You may even have to make the thumbnails larger by using the zoom slider at the bottom
Good luck

Not to display the file name in the browser bar.

Hello,
Merry Christmas to all,
Is it possible not to display the file name in the browser bar?
Like say, when we write www.rediff.com, the index page name is not displayed.
Likewise is it possible for any other page too.
What I want is not to display any of the page name for the whole application.
Whichever page is requested the page name should not appear in the address bar of the browser.
How will I do that, what logics should I apply?
Please suggest,
Thanks,

first, what does this have to do with Java?
second, no; in order to display something, the browser needs to know where it is. and if it knows, then a user can find out too. maybe you can make it not show up in an address bar sometimes, but that really achieves nothing

Displaying the File Name in a Cell

In version 2 of Numbers you used to be able to display the file name in a cell. If you copied a worksheet and gave it a new file name, that new name would automatically appear in the cell, so at a glance you could see which version of the worksheet you were looking at. As far as I can see that facility has gone in Version 3. Unless I have missed something?

Hi Xabianblanca,
Not *quite* as convenient but of course there is an easy partial workaround for this.
Step 1. Click the triangle next to the document title:
Step 2. Command-c. (the document name has already been selected for you).
Step 3. Select the cell where you want to insert the document name and command-v.
As for the Insert Date and Time menu pick there is a workaround that is just as easy to use as the original menu pick, after a quick one-time setup.
See the other workarounds in that thread for some of the other features that weren't included in Numbers 3.0.

Can MediaSource display MP3 file name instead of MP3 tag information? ; Playlist default locat

?I am using Creative MediaSource Player 5.0.38 as an MP3 player on my computer:?. Can we get MediaSource to display mp3 file names instead of mp3 tag information when file is being played as part of a Playlist???2. Playlists are stored in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Creative\Media Database\
or if not logged in as Administrator:
C:\Documents and Settings\[name of your account]\Application Data\Creative\Media Database\?Unlike with Creative PlayCenter, default location of Playlists cannot be changed in Windows registry.?Is there any?way to change Playlist default location?
??3. If Shuffle play mode is selected, MediaSource will still always play the first file on the Playlist? and only then switch to shuffle mode. I found a workaround for this because old PlayCenter 2 had this problem, is this a known bug that they still haven't fixed after all these years???Message Edited by c627627 on 04-6-200706:33 PM

Hi,
I understand you want to place description of Content type as refiner in Search Refinement.
Without coding, you may considering adding a column for description and use this column as refiner.

JFileChooser does not display japanese file names

I am using JFileChooser to load some files in my application. I have some files which have japanese file names. When I try to load these files it does not even display these files for me to choose and then load them. Any ideas?

Hi,
I am trying to pick up data from an excel sheet and insert them into a database. However, once updated, they end up with '?' values.
I have tried to make font.properties.ja as the default font.properties file, which failed to display Japanese characters.
Any suggestions?
This is a part of my code:
String sJIS = "";
sJIS = new String(cell1.getStringCellValue().getBytes("8859_1"), "JISAutoDetect");
String sUTF = "";
sUTF = new String(cell1.getStringCellValue().getBytes(), "UTF-16");
System.out.println("sUTF" + sUTF + " " + "sJIS" + sJIS);
Thanks,

I am unable to retrieve spreadsheets. Numbers displays the "Welcome To Numbers" page but does not allow saved spreadsheets to be opened. It offers the "Open Recent" choice and displays saved file names but does not allow these files to be accessed.

I recently upgraded to Numbers 3.5.2. I have an older Macbook Pro (2009) and I run Yosemite 10.10.2. I am unable to open any saved files that were created with earlier versions of Numbers. When I open the Numbers app, I am offered the Welcome To Numbers page. When I choose the 'Open Recent' option, I am offered the greyed names of files that I had recently used, however, I am unable to open any of these files (no error message is displayed). Welcome To Numbers stays on the screen. I tried opening the app by clicking on the file name but it produced the same results. I am having a similar problem with Pages.   I suspect a compatibility problem between the new OSX and the new iWork offerings.   Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does it require a setting change or is it a bug?

I managed to download and install the iWork '09 apps. However, when I attempt to open the app, I receive this error message:
Numbers cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Numbers works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.

Any thoughts as to what has to happen next? I am running the latest OS X available (Yosemite 10.10.2)

Can I display the File name at the bottom of the Grid view window?

Dang. I'm probably going to catch some flak for this... but I can't find where this bone is buried. When the main viewer is in grid mode, the bottom of the window says "1 selected - 9 items displayed" or something to that effect. Is there a way to replace that with the name of the file(s) that is currently selected?
I have searched the manual and tried many of the Metadata display options and can get all kinds of info to show up when double clicking to bring that image full screen. But I'd like to see its name when simply selected in the grid view.
Obviously that info is available in the Info pane to the left. But when doing basic organizing, I like to leave that side on the Library pane.
Screen grab for the situation I am talking about:
Thank you!
Bo

Bo,
I have no idea, if it would be possible to change the caption in the line below the grid.
But why not add the filename of each image to the grid view like this?
Edit the metadata for the Gridview (expanded or basic) to include the "File name" and arrange the display order to show the Filename first. This way you will see it bleow each image.
Another way to alway see the filename would be to set the Metadata Tooltip to include the filename, and to enable the tooltip, when you are using grid view.

Display a file name in th URL instead of the procedure name

Hi ,
I’ve created a Portlet that would show a word doc stored in a blob when a user clicks on a link. However only the procedure name that downloads the word document from the BLOB appears in the URL but not the actual file name. Is there a way to show the actual file name in the URL instead of the PL/SQL procedure name ??

Hi Samer_asn,
I am trying to do exactly what you did.
Can you tell me how you could retrieve the word doc from blob and show it in a portlet when a user clicks on a link
Thanks in advance
Jay

How to display the file name & status when copying files.

I write a program to backup/copy data from one directory to other directory, and I'm using File List and Runtime.getRuntime().exec("xcopy "+dir1+"\\"+name+" "+dir2+" /y");
to copy the files, so it will copy the file one by one, and everytime one file is copied, I want to display the result to the screen, but guess what has happened, the screen just display a blank screen, and wait until all the copying processes finish, then it will display all files that has been copied.
Appreciate your expertise to check my coding below.
String[] fileList = fbackupSource.list();
boolean done=true;
JTextArea backupText = new JTextArea();
JScrollPane backupScroll = new JScrollPane(backupText,
ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS,
ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
JFrame backupWindow = new JFrame("Backup Data");
backupWindow.setBounds(320,240,400,330);
backupWindow.getContentPane().add(backupScroll);
backupText.setText("Copy files from "+backupSource.toUpperCase()+" to "+backupDest.toUpperCase()+" : \n\n");
backupWindow.show();
for (int i=0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
backupText.append(" ("+ i +")... processing " + fileList);
done = copyFile(fileList[i],backupSource,backupDest);
if (done=true) {
backupText.append(" -> done. \n");
else {
backupText.append(" -> fail! \n");
boolean copyFile(String name, String dir1, String dir2) {
try {
java.lang.Process proc =
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("xcopy "+dir1+"\\"+name+" "+dir2+" /y");
proc.waitFor();
return true;
catch (IOException e) {
return false;
catch (InterruptedException e) {
return false;

Oops, sorry, I should have written "Process.getInputStream()". Here's an example from:
http://javafaq.nu/tips/opsys/index.shtml
==============
How can I pass a string to the command line(DOS) ? Also i want to capture the output given by the command line in a string.
Answer: Try this out:
// works for DOS
String cmds[] = new String[2];
cmds[0] = "dir"; // replace with "ls" on UNIX
cmds[1] = "c:"; // replace with "/" on UNIX
// execute the command
Process pro = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmds);
// wait until it's done executing
pro.waitFor();
// what did the process output from the Input pipe back to
// this process (okay, who named this stuff)?
InputStream out = pro.getInputStream();
// output it (really slowly)
int i;
while ((i = out.read()) != -1) System.out.println((char) i);==============
Although I don't think this example will do exactly what you want... you might have to delete the waitFor() call and just check to see when there's nothing else to read from the InputStream. It's a start, though, and the web page has a lot of similar examples of this sort of thing.
Yours,
Tom

Displaying photo file name on ATV

I don't think this has been asked yet, so....Does anyone know of a way to display the photo name when you are viewing the slideshow on the ATV similiar to the way you can view the file name in the iphoto slideshow? I haven't found this option if it exists in the ATV slideshow settings.

Sorry I don't believe there is such a function in the current version of tv

Displaying complete file names on the desktop

I think there was a way to get the finder to display the complete file names on the desktop. Some terminal command. Can anybody help?

I have files on the Desktop that don't have that issue. But when I add characters to them I eventually reach the breaking point -- 37 characters is fine; 38 characters causes the file name to truncate. I suppose there may be a way to set a secret pref to show a larger number of characters using Terminal.
Anyone know how many characters the OS file system is limited to -- ignoring display issues, I mean?
