Monitor folder for importing files

Does iTunes have a feature similiar to MS Media Player that will monitor a selected folder and automatically import any new music?

yes I am not sure if you have to enable it or not, but there are little folders named like '90's songs' or 'top 25 most played', or 'top rated' that put songs that belong to these categories in the folder.

Looping a folder for pattern files

Hello
Please help me with an answer.
I have a folder with more files with same structure generated by ERP.
- Purchase_240520080600.txt
- Purchase_240520080730.txt
- Purchase_240520080843.txt
etc
Is there a possible to loop into the folder for all files with a pattern and import them one by one into a target table?
thanks
Gabriel

Hi,
Let me try to contribute. I build this kind of implementation some times.
I will describe the process in Windows OS and then you fit it in your OS if it is other then Windows.
Pre-requisite:
- all files has the same structure OR define a target table with just one varchar column (if you don't have records bigger then 4000 characters- Oracle)
Process:
1) create a ODI character variable (like v_FileName) last value type.
2) At your previous file Datastore (model) define the resource name like:
\your_tree\#v_FileName
3) Create a new file datastore (eg: All_Files_Names) pointing to a file called, as suggestion, All_Files_Names.txt. This Datastore will have just one character column (eg: col_FileName) with a good length ( I use 500) and at "\your_tree\" directory.
4) Create a procedure (eg: prc_GetFileNames) with one OS Command step and with the following command (Windows example):
cmd /c dir c:\my_directory\*.* /b /a:-d > c:\my_directory\All_Files_Names.txt
This will give you a file with all files at the directory.
5) create a new step at the procedure prc_GetFileNames, at source tab, drop the command copied, choose "File" Technology and choose your Logical Schema.
The command will be like "Select * from All_Files_Names ...", change the * for the column name used at the datastore All_Files_Names. It should be like "Select col_FileName from
All_Files_Names ...". Save it for now.
6) Create a interface (eg: int_LoadData), that will load the data into table. Its source will be the datastore what has the variable at Resource Name and at Target the table
that you wish to load.
7) Create a package (eg: pck_Load_Data_Name_Var), drag and drop the ODI variable v_FileName (set it as "Set" kind and "First Step") and drag and drop the interface. Of course put
an OK line from Variable to Interface.
8) Generate a scenario of the package
9) Go back to the procedure and:
-- at Target Tab set the technology to "Sunopsis API" and put the command: OdiStarScen "-SCEN_NAME=PCK_LOAD_DATA_NAME_VAR" "-SCEN-VERSION=001" "-SYNC_MODE=1" "-
v_FileName=#col_FileName"
10) Create a new step at Sunopsis API technology using the odiFileDelet (odi MoveFile) command to delete the All_Files_Names.txt file.
11) Execute the procedure and you should have all files loaded at the same target table.
All of this will allow you to start the same interface to so many existing files at a directory, it means 1 to N files.
I hope this process help you! Good luck!!!!

How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

Hi Ed
Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that. To explain
further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files. This is very tedious
process when you have alot of files to save. So my question was is there a
way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
prodcution folder I want.
I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
would be nice if I could do everything automatically. Microsoft makes this
capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
do the same thing. Your help with this would be appreicated,
Thanks

Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

No. This is NOT true. I've been battling with this for a couple hours.
I choose Export>Versions
choose
Subfolder Format: Project Name
no custom subfolder
Name Format: Current Version Name.
Aperture creates project folders for each image and names them Projects1, Projects2, Projects3 etc.
To be sure, I have no project named Projects
x
This particular Aperture library has 16 projects. you can see in the screen grab it's created more than 30 folders
If I uncheck the Subfolder, that is say NONE, I just get images and images and images, not in their project folders (of course, because I've said NONE, so why would it put them in project folders?)
I just want to export the entire library and have the versions placed in folders named by the projects from which they came.... ez enough, no?

PC under XP Home- 2 session- 1 folder for music file

Hello
I have a PC under XP home.
Two users - One folder with music files. The folder "Itunes music" is on disk D and not under "documents ans settings" because it is too big for disk C.
Under each session my wife and me we have our database of iTunes.
It goes not very good. Sometimes we lose a lot of music and must import the folder one more time.
I don't understand why. In fact there is 20% of music who give problems.
Somebody have an explanation?
Best regards
PC Windows XP

...bit of an update since the last post i made:
I have now managed to update my iTunes to the latest version and have also installed the Nano onto my PC. I've even managed to trasnfer some music files onto the Nano also...
However, my problem lies with the iTunes library set up.
The 4thG 40g iPod i mentioned is used by a 35 year old hip hop fan who doesn't need to worry about Parental Guidance and until now has updated his iPod with ALL the songs that are in the library. Now i have a 11 year old daughter who likes typical 11 year stuff but i don't want to trawl thro 40g worth of music to find the stuff she can listen to .. whilst the 35 year old hip hop fan doesn't want to listen to tracks on random only to find he's got girls alound on his iPod!!
Is there anyway i can make seperate libraries for the 2 different iPod models? I have tried going into the iPod options when each of the iPods have been connected and have changed the path to the library but this hasn't helped so far...
again, any help would be truly appreciated...thank you

When I change the folder for deleted files will files sent there be deleted as well?

Hello! I selected the tick at forwarding mails. And I also checked (✓) for deleting those mails. In addition I selected to send deleted e-mails to a new folder. Now the name of the new folder is behind the bin symbol (). Will mails in the new folder be deleted after 30 days or will they stay. I want them to stay, so if there is a different way to forwand and mark the mails as read, I would be happy if you could tell me!

The solutions is either of the following:
Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
Copy the photos back into the exact same folder and folder location that they were in before
I don't know what you actually did "when I pasted it back" ... but the bigger issue is that you shouldn't be working with these files in your operating system, period. Once you import them into Lightroom, you don't manage these files in your operating system.

URGENT... lost connectivity to Imovie for importing files/projects

Hi and thanks for reading this... I'm slightly above beginner technically, and have assumed a job/role video editing where video files (AVCHD) are imported from Imovie into CS4 on a Mac. Yesterday a dialogue box appeared in the clips bin of CS4, top left, stating "connectivity" was lost (I assume that refers to the link between Imovie and CS4) and to click a button within that window to restore it. Mutliple attempts did nothing.
Subsequently, I now can't re-load existing CS4 projects created from files imported from Imovie, nor can I import clips from Imovie into CS4. (The clips still exist in Imovie, but they won't load into CS4. When I attempt to import, the "import" progress bar appears and completes, but nothing appears in CS4. Also, when attempting to load existing projects created in CS4, not only will they not load, but a different project will suddenly attempt to load in place of the project I attempted to load in.
Of course, several deadlines are breathing down my neck, so any help is very much appreciated. Cheers, Norm

MIssion accomplished! Please consider this thread closed. Cheers, N

General Error for Importing files in Premiere Pro CS6

I have used the adobe Premiere Pro since it's inception, and haven't had this problem with it's persistency before. I've scoured the net looking for an answer and haven't been able to find one.
So, the issue is that common one: "importer reported a generic error".
This is a MacBook Pro computer.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the software, the computer has been cleaned and there shouldn't be any remnants of previous versions, etc. I have also downloaded the functional content from Adobe.
Downloading the functional content, this time, only fixed some of the importing errors. First, it was most of the files, if not all of my media files, from DVDs that could not be imported. (These are My DVDs with My original footage.) Now, after downloading the content files, I have about half of the files as imported no problem, and the other half remain the same.
Is there any answer out there for this particular fix? Thanks for the help!

4 hours sounds about right for this source material on such a system. Better hardware may be needed to reduce the exporting time or you have to convert the source material to a less demanding format.

Is there anyway to create a watched/monitored folder for actions (similar to distillar for PDFs)

Is there any way to set up a watched folder in Photoshop to automatically batch run an action on any image that is dropped into that particular folder?
Similar to how distillar works for PDFs.
I have Creative Suite Web Premium 5.5 so if any of the other packages in the suite will do the job please let me know as I can't seem to find it.
A droplet won't do the job as although the processing will take place on my machine - the image may be dropped into the folder by a colleague elsewhere.
Thanks.

According to the Applescript Users Group, Batch hasn't worked since at least CS4, that's why the error messages. Darn Adobe, they include it in their Scripting Guides.
This works, but depending on the action, you might get a dialog box that, again, Adobe in their stupidity have decided can't be turned off with scripting. This also renames duplicate files.

Apple Loops Utility does not work at all for imported file

I have imported an MP3 into Logic Pro 8, which converts it to an AIFF file, and am trying to configure the project to sync to that tracks tempo. From what I understand, I do this by opening it in the ALU and having it add tempo information to the file.
My problem is that when I open the file in the ALU, and I have version 2.0.1, literally almost NOTHING works. I can hit the play/stop/jump to start buttons and they work. However, the volume control does nothing. Likewise, the Tempo slider as well as the transpose dropdown don't do anything.
On the Transients tab, the Transient Division dropdown and Sensitivity slider are grayed out. Since I've never used this tool before, I would assume that this is how I get the utility to detect the beats in the song. The waveform view just shows the song waveform, with no markers as it does if I open an Apple Loop.
If I switch to the Tags tab, ever single checkbox is grayed out. Finally, if I go to the file menu, all Save options are grayed out.
My first thought, is of course, that I'm just an idiot and that I don't know what I'm doing. However, in searching the forum, I found this post from a year ago where someone is complaining about what seems to be the exact same problem, and they did not receive a single response.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8516386&#8516386
Any ideas on either how to get ALU to work or to get my project to sync to the MP3 without requiring the ALU?
Thanks!
Mark

In case you are importing a whole track you won't get the results you are expecting with ALU....
Under *File Type* in the Tags tab select Looping so that the Transients Division and the rest of the settings be active.
Hope this helps

Custom filters for importing files

how can I get LR 5 to filter files by size on import or in a collection? ie exclude anything under 1 mb

During Import? You cannot. You can filter it using a smart collection after import by megapixel and remove the files if you want but you cannot filter it by megabyte as you are asking - at least not without a third party plugin.
