Missing titles / file names

Until recently photos imported into iPhoto took as their title the name of the file eg IMG_0611.JPG. Now the titles are blank, is this something that can be controlled in the importing process?
Thanks for any help.

Do the filenames look as usual in the Finder?
Try this basic fix trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

How to Edit the Title (file name) on forms 10g Screen.

Need a quicker reply ..
Thanks in Advance

using the below code too not getting me the new names entered by me ... still the old title names are comingWhat do you mean by new nemes? It will return you the actual file name which is saved in phycical location and form name will return you the module name which displays when you open forms in builder.
Or you mean something else then its better to provide any example..like what is happening actually with you.

Letters missing in file names

so thankfully this is not happening to me, but my friend is having a hard time. Whenever he is online, many pages are missing "O"s and "A"s. I thought maybe his browser was acting up amd as an experiment downloaded Firefox. Which is when I realized that the file on his desktop read Firef_x.
curious. so i created a new folder called "aaaooo," and the folder name read aaoo.
repaired permissions, and it's still happening. any ideas what could be causing this problem? he is on the same OS as I and doesn't have applecare (typical).

Missing letters are often caused by damaged or defective fonts resulting in a
corrupted font cache. Does the system have any 3rd party fonts installed? Does the font checking tool report problems?
See: <http://db.tidbits.com/article/10433>
You can try deleting the font cache using atsutil or a 3rd party tool.

How do I get photo title/file name/information off the Books I am creating?

I dont want photo info under each pic in my book. I searched the discussion boards but could not find a solution

You need to select a theme that does not include the meta data, e.g. the "Modern Lines" theme or "Picture Book".
Or simply use the "Edit Layout" mode and delete the text boxes on the pages.

Target file name using Dynamic Configuration

Hi,
Currently we have requirement Idoc to File interface.In this scenario if one field exists infile then we have to check and we need to create update directory and if it is not exist then we should create one more directory and upload files over there there files should create with timestamp. Since,File system using Sql database so we have used JDBC lookup to check that particaluar field and if it exists we are passing update to UDF if it is not then we are passing constant Create to that. If we use Adapter Specific Message Attributes then in reciever side file Communication Channel addtimestap will it consider or do we have to write anything in Udf it self? Could anybody explain on this?Please provide some sample udf .
Thanks ,
Aparna.

Hi,
        I have added little changes to the code you have written, to meet your expectations
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
conf.put(key,"/sap-dev/" +a);
DynamicConfiguration conf1 = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
string filename=conf1.get(key1);
final String DATE_FORMAT_NOW = "dd-MM-yyyy_HH-mm-ss";
String s;
java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT_NOW);
java.util.Calendar cal = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
s=sdf.format(cal.getTime());
filename=a+" "+"User_"+s+".txt";
conf1.put(key1,filename);
return " ";
So if value of input variable "a" is "update" then the target directory will be "/sap-dev/update" and the file formed will have name "update User_26-12-2011_01-20-50.txt", of course the date and time values will change depending on server settings. I just showed a sample. one more point, the directory will not be created, you have to create the directories before you run the scenario, only the final directory will be decided depending on value of variable "a". In case you wanna create new directory if directory is not pre-existing then try ticking on "Create Target Directory" option under "file access parameters" in communication channel. (I have never used this option u can have a try. )
Now coming to your queries
1. But whether file type txt automatically it will take or do we have to give in udf it self ?
ans) You have to put the value in UDF as I have done in code.
2.    how it will consider timestamp ?
ans) This has been generated in UDF itself.
3. how i can give file extension .txt?
ans) same as ans 1
4. And also in Receiver Communication Channel under Adapter Specific Message attributes we have option of file type how it works?
ans) File type determines is the file you are going to write is of type "text" or "binary". From "Processing Parameters" tab you can select this from drop down menu in communication channel or you can set it through ASMA properties in similar manner as you have done for file name and directory name. For more details refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/6830e67f2a6d12e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
Finally few more points I would like to add
1) you have not mentioned the operating system of the server where file is going to form. In case its UNIX/LINUX you are not allowed to use space in the filename. you can consult these links before you decide on file name and directory name in the UDF mentioned above
http://www.med.nyu.edu/rcr/rcr/nyu_vms/unixfileanddirectorynames.htm     (UNIX)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx#naming_conventions (WINDOWS)
2) you can alter the string "DATE_FORMAT_NOW" as per your requirement so that the timestamp appears in the way you want. I have just showed a sample.
3) Plesae do not forget to tick on the options "Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes indicator", "Fail If Adapter-Specific Message Attributes Missing", indicators "File Name" and "Directory" under "Define Adapter-Specific Message Attributes." in receiver communication channel.
Hope this solves your problem.
Wish my dear forum members and users of SDN
Merry Christmas and Happy new year (in advance)
Regards
Anupam
N.B:- I initially forgot to add the ".txt" part to the file name. I made necessary corrections in code now.

Missing Breadcrumbs Caused by Similar File Names

Using RH9
Producing both WebHelp and HTML Help (with missing breadcrumbs the same in both)
Using only the SSL option to generate the breadcrumbs
As in some previously posted cases, a few topics in a large project are missing breadcrumbs. There are no quotation marks or other unsual characters in the file names or titles. I was able to narrow down one error to something I could fix in a test project.
In the following HHC entries, the breadcrumbs were missing from the "General Ledger Processing Recap (AM72)" topic when the help was generated. (Everything after the second item is a bookmarked TOC entry, with no breadcrumbs expected, but I left those items in the example in case they make a difference.)

But when I changed the file name of the parent topic from General_Ledger_Options.htm to GenLdgrOpt.htm, the breadcrumbs appeared correctly in the output for the parent and child topics.
This stragegy for fixing the breadcrumb problem seems to be hit-or-miss. For example, I've tried the same approach to fix another topic and have had no success so far. Is there anything about how breadcrumbs are generated that would explain how renaming the file would fix the problem?

Rick,
I think you are right about the file name length being an important factor, but the cause doesn't seem to be as simple as a too-deep nesting level. I was able to fix the problem in another topic by shortening the file name of the topic that preceded it at the same level.
The one hard case that remains is a topic that contains a lot of bookmarked subheadings. I found that if I cut that topic's number of subheading TOC entries to 33, the breadcrumbs for the topic worked, but with 34 TOC entries, they did not. My best guess is that there is a limitation of some kind on the internal aggregation of TOC information -- including information about siblings and children.
By the way, I also tried inserting breadcrumb placeholders, instead of automatically generating them. That caused RoboHelp to crash (instead of just failing to add breadcrumbs to the offending topic). When I removed the placeholder from the bad topic, it worked OK with the other topics.

Batch document title from file name?

Forgive the newb question on a fairly simple matter.
I want to create File Info: Document Titles from file names, minus the extension, for about 400 images.
Is this possible with Batch rename, if so what am I missing?
Thanks,

I am unclear how a batch rename will enter data into File Info: Document Title.
I have never used them but you might look at metadata templates. Several sites on web on how to set them up and what they will do for you.

Create Title from File Name

Is there a way to automatically transfer the file name to the title of the image? Can it be done with a script in the export cations folder? If it can, does anyone have a script?

Hi Serhat,
Are you perhaps missing a "return" on the 4th line of your pathOfFile method?

Excel 2010 missing default suggested file name in Save As dialog box

I’m using Excel 2010 running on Windows 7 (32 bit). When I open a certain file which produces the following message: "A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates", and then go to “Save As” (or “Save”) the
file, the default suggested file name is missing (blank). This didn't occur in previous versions of Excel.
In previous versions, Excel would automatically populate the original file name in to the File Name field.
I have searched all over the net, looking for a way to change Excel so that it will once again populate the file name in this situation.
To reproduce:
Create a new blank workbook
save as type “Web Page”, (i.e. File name: “Blank Example.html”)
Close workbook
In windows, rename file from .html to .xls (i.e. rename “Blank Example.html” to “Blank Example.xls”)
In Excel open renamed file (i.e. “Blank Example.xls”) and click “Yes” when prompted with the “A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates” message.
Do a “Save As” and you will notice that the File Name is blank. In previous versions, this field would contain the current workbook file name
(i.e. “Blank Example.xls”)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jaynet,
In order to re-produce this, you need to answer "yes" to the rename file prompt and then continue with step 5 (above).
The reason for this is not an exercise in futility - I assure you. At my work and elsewhere, when web developers have created features to permit the end user to save web data in Excel format, often times the Excel files are saved locally in Excel's
html format (but with the .xls
extension).
(I actually prefer the .xls
extension, because it is easier to just double-click the file to open in Excel, rather than to select the open-with and then select Excel. a file with the .html extension will default open in your default browser. Now, I could change my default program
for the .html extension, but that would only solve a part of the problem and would not really address the bigger issue and that being that Microsoft changed a behavior in Excel and may not even be aware that it was a much used feature. )
To continue, when I go to open the resulting Excel file, I am prompted with the message that the file type does not match the extension (which is fine and not bothersome to me). It's at this point when I go to save the file that I get really annoyed.
In previous versions of Excel, the default file name would be pre-filled with the current name of the file and the default file type would state that it is a Web html file. I would just change the file type to Excel Workbook and hit enter to save.
I would be prompted with "Are you sure you want to overwrite your existing file?" message and I would click "yes" and that would be that.
However, in Excel 2010, because the default file name is blank, I then need to re-type the name into the field to save the file.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

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,
Nancy

How to make Title same as File name using Batch?

I will be having hundreds of PDFs each month that will need info in the Tile field in Document properties. We create our PDFs from Quark using Distiller. I have found an option in the Batch process in Acrobat for editing the Document properties. Is there something I can enter in the title field that would instruct it to pull the file name as the title? I compare this to using &File in Word when instructing it to include the file name in the header area. Anyone know of any way to do this? I have seen multiple posts to the Acrobat forum regarding similar issues, but none with any responses as to how to accomplish this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For this behaviour you're looking at a javascript ...
For dumb population then use Batch Processing inside Acrobat ..

How can I prevent Firefox from cutting off the title of a webpage for use as a file name when printing/saving as PDF if there's a / in it?

Like it says in the question - when I try to print/save a webpage as a PDF, Firefox (version 36.0, Windows 8.1 64bit, German) usually uses the page's title as the file name. Slashes are, of course, not allowed in file names, but instead of just leaving leaving it out or replacing it with a hyphen, the title is cut off and everything before the last slash is gone, which in some cases results in very odd and misleading file names.
Is this a known bug? I couldn't find anything. So I'm just wondering if there's either going to be a fix anytime soon, or whether there is a simpler solution than to generate a different title sans slashes specifically for Firefox users.
Thanks in advance for Your help!

There is more than one proxy type.<br />

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.

How to display File Title instead of File Name in Search Results

Hello All,
I want to display the File Title instead of File name in the search results. For example when i do the search for the HTML Pages i get the File Names i.e. Index.html However i want 'HTML Page Title' to be displayed instead of File Name.
Please help in this.
Full points guaranteed...
Vaib

Hi Vaib,
first, the search result is displayed with some layout set. The standard layout set used is the SearchResultLayoutSet. This uses the StandardSearchResultRenderer as it's collection renderer. And this in fact renders the display name and not the ID: <i>rnd:displayname(contentLink/[1;2-3]/alignTop/space-right=30)</i> within "Displayed Properties". Maybe on your site the default settings have been changed.
For how to use a different layout set etc see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2a/4ff640365d8566e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm for details.
Hope it helps

How I can sort music files (audiobook) in music player on iPhone by file name, not by title name?

I have audiobook of abt.500 files, all titles are the name of the book. iPhone music player does not understand sorting by file names, but by title, hterfore it plays files chaotic. So, how I can sort audiobook files in music player by file name, not by title name?

I have the same problem.
I've went through the pains of merging all chapters into one big file for each and every audiobook, so that at least the chapters don't get played in random order. Month and month of work….. In iTunes 12.01. I can now order my audiobooks by title or by author.
But once they're uploaded to my blo*dy expensive iPhone 6Plus 128 (which I bought especially to have all my music and my audiobooks on one device) my audiobooks are NOT sorted by author, but by Title.
So, let's say I have 15 books by Ken Follet, they don't appear as Ken Follet > Title of the book but they are sorted alphabetically with all the other titles of other authors.
iPods where originally designed for music and audiobooks, but each and every version of iOS makes handling your music and especially your audiobooks harder and harder….
I am very disappointed and after so many years of using apple, I am considering to move on to android devices.
