Need option to list books by File Name

With a good number of books added to ADE, it's sometimes impossible to identify the book from the thumbnail, if it's just the first page of text, for example, and not all pdfs populate the "Title" field either, especially homegrown pdfs. So if Adobe would add a File Name sort option to the drop-down in the Library view in the next edition, it would help to locate among large numbers of ebooks.

I think what you are looking for is:
Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced tab
There are two important check boxes
Keep iTunes Media folder organised: This can move and rename files when the tags are changed.
Copy to iTunes Media folder when Adding to Library: This does what it says, it doesn't move files, it copies them and then iTunes uses the copy in the iTunes Media folder, leaving the original intact.

Is there a way to list all the file names (automatically) in a folder to dynamic text box?

Hi,
I would like to know whether FLASH AS3 has some option to get all the files names from a folder specified and show it in a dynamic text box? Whenever some new files added to this folder it should update the list accordingly.
Thanks for any information in this regard.

Not particularly experienced in this field myself, but I've found its just easier to implement an XML file which lists the contents of the folder. It just means that when you upload a new file you have to add it to the list in the xml file also. No real hardship once you figure out the mechanics of it

Listing of all file names in a directory

Hello everyone,
Is there a way to get the listing of all file names in a directory
pointed by an entry in dba_directory in oracle into a collection in
pl/sql procedure.
Thank you.
Tuncay

this is the same problem I am trying to solve now. I found some ehlp in Tom Kyte articles on java stored procedures.
create global temporary table DIR_LIST
( filename varchar2(255) )
on commit delete rows;
create and compile java source named "DirList" as
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class DirList
public static void getList(String directory)
throws SQLException
File path = new File( directory );
String[] list = path.list();
String element;
for(int i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
element = list;
#sql { INSERT INTO DIR_LIST (FILENAME)
VALUES (:element) };
create procedure get_dir_list( p_directory in varchar2 )
as language java
name 'DirList.getList( java.lang.String )';
then you call in your pl/sql and fill your collection from the DIR_LIST table:
get_dir_list('the name of the directory' );
---then you fill the collection by fetching the DIR_LIST table
good luck,
Florin

Error - Logical file is not part of database. Use RESTORE FILELISTONLY to list the logical file names

I made a script to restore .bak or backup files. It works for some databases, but not for one. How do I make it work for any type of .bak file ? This is in sql server 2008. The error message is -
Msg 3234, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Logical file 'Northwind_Data' is not part of database 'Northwind'.
Use RESTORE FILELISTONLY to list the logical file names.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Script -
IF DB_ID('Northwind') IS NULL
BEGIN
RESTORE DATABASE [Northwind]
FILE = N'Northwind_Data'
FROM
DISK = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SS2008\MSSQL\Backup\Northwind.bak'

Hello,
The issue you are facing might be related to below link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2487231/en-us
As per link this is known issue.Can you please check service pack level of SQL Server 2008 .It should be SP3.Please apply SP3 and see if the error subsides.
Also error suggests logical file name 1 which you are giving is not part of the backup set from which you are trying to restore.You should first use below query to determine right file then proceed with restoration of the same.
restore filelistonly from disk='C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SS2008\MSSQL\Backup\Northwind.bak'
if file ID is 3 may be your restore script would be like below
F DB_ID('Northwind') IS NULL
BEGIN
RESTORE DATABASE [Northwind]
FILE = N'Northwind_Data'
FROM
DISK = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SS2008\MSSQL\Backup\Northwind.bak'
WITH FILE = 3,
MOVE N'Northwind_Data'
TO N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SS2008\MSSQL\DATA\Northwind.mdf',
MOVE N'Northwind_Log'
TO N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SS2008\MSSQL\DATA\Northwind_0.LDF',

Need script to check for duplicate file names when copying a folder

Hello,
I am a new applescript user trying to write what I believe should be a simple script. I was planning on using the "add-new item alert" script as a template.
Basically I have people copying folders of photos into a library folder, but I don't want the Finder to copy the photo if it already exists in the library. The images in the library are organized into subfolders.
I need a script that will check all the file names in the new folder against all the file names in the library, and NOT add the new one if it already exists.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
C

I have a script that "kind of" works. The only problem I've seen is that it gets confused when filenames contain characters that are fine in Macland but not good in Unixland. Forward slashes are a good example of this.
In this case I have a folder in my home named "copytest" Inside copytest are two folders:
Source (containing the images to be added)
Dest (My existing library of images)
It also assumes that the folder of images to be added contains no sub-folders. Hope this helps.
tell application "Finder"
set theSource to folder "source" of folder "copytest" of home
set imagesToBeCopied to name of every file of theSource
end tell
repeat with theFile in imagesToBeCopied
try
if (do shell script "find -r ~/copytest/dest -name " & quoted form of (theFile as string)) is not equal to "" then
--The file exists. Don't copy it
else
--the file doesn't already exist. Copy it.
end if
on error
return "Failed while trying to check for existence of a file"
end try
end repeat

File-File - Need to extract data from source file name???

Hello Experts,
I have a unique situation. In my file to file scenario, the source file name is of the format XYZ_yymmddHHMM.dat. there is field in the target file which has to filled with the date that is there in the file name of the source file (yymmdd). How can this be achieved? Normally we do the other way round using vaiable substitution where we can name a file depending on the value in any of the target field structure.
Please help.

Hi,
please prepare the udf with the following code.
i mean, dynamic configuration concept.
where u get the file name, then use substring function to capture date from right side.
//write your code here
// getFileName User Defined Function
// function to create name of output file
String filename;
filename = strFile;
try {
// initialize DynamicConfiguration for create file with given name
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
//create file with the specified name
conf.put(key, filename);
} catch (Exception ex) {
return filename;
warm regards
mahesh.

Need script to add path and file name to fillable form

I have a fillable pdf form that I would like to have a script that adds the path and file name to the form. This script would be in a field at the end of the document.
I am a newbie to javascript and formcalc. The script will be the only one in the form.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi,
I have a sample that attach a file to the PDF and write in a text field the file name. I don´t know how to get the full path and it only works in Acrobat. To work in Adobe Reader is necessary the LC Reader Extensions to give some special permissions to the document. But, regard this, you still want the sample send me a email to [email protected]

How to delete file names from Adobe Reader list

How can I delete file names from the Adobe Reader list? I have deleted the file & it's empty, but deleted file names remain in my list & it's very annoying. I can't seem to find an option anywhere to delete the file names.

Thanks for the answer, I will try this & post my results with this method. I have set the amount to zero, & it seems if I want to put back valid files into my list I first need to find them in another file in my pc, such as documents, open them in Adobe Reader, & then then they will reappear in the Adobe Reader list. Is this correct? Thank you!
This seems to be the case, you need to restore each file you want in your list one by one by accessing them elsewhere on your pc, & then you must open them with Adobe Reader to have files reappear in your Adobe Reader list. However, this seems to be a tedious process if you only want to delete one obsolete file from your list by first emptying the list & rebuilding it file by file. It works, but I'm wondering if there is a more sensible & efficient way to do this?

How do i get a list of file names in to a new folder?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way of having a list of image file names, searching for the images then putting them into a new folder? I'm guessing it can probably be done through mac scripting but I know nothing about scripting and genreally not great with technogy so ideally need step by step instructions!!
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!!
Ruth

Without details about your workflow and folder set up, I can only give you a generic script, but this should at least get us started. test it and see what needs to be tweaked.
-- set paths to source and destination folders
set imageSourcePath to POSIX path of (choose folder with prompt "Choose a source folder.")
set destinationFolder to POSIX file POSIX path of (choose folder with prompt "Choose a destination folder.")
-- get file names from text file: assumes one name per line.
set fileNameTextFile to (choose file with prompt "Choose a file list text file." of type "public.plain-text")
set fileNames to paragraphs of (read fileNameTextFile)
repeat with thisFileName in fileNames
-- replace each file name with an alias to that image file
set contents of thisFileName to POSIX file (imageSourcePath & thisFileName)
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
-- using 'duplicate' because I assume you want to make copies rather than move files
duplicate fileNames to destinationFolder
end tell

How can I remove the list of 20 recently saved items when you click on the arrow on the far right side of the File Name screen for images, web pages, ect?

When I right click and go save image/page/ect as the file save popup screen appears and on the right side of the File Name bar there is an arrow. If you click the arrow it shows the last 20? items that have been saved and their save location. Is there anyway to not have the list of recent items there or at the very least a way to clear them? I'm running Firefox 17 on Windows 7.
Also when you save items as you were typing in the name you want to save them as it used to show filenames with the same name as you type that are saved in that directory so instead of typing the whole filename or copy/pasting you could start typing a filename and then hit the up or down arrow, backspace and just change the end of the filename without having to retype the entire filename.
Hopefully you understand what I mean and can help me fix it, thanks.

It's in the proper directory. I can scroll down the window on the right and see the files but if I start typing the file name of one of them the autocomplete drop down thing that shows matching file names does not appear. In the back of my mind I'm starting to think a setting got changed and then the list of matching file names stopped appearing but I can't recall what setting may have been changed, if it was a firefox or microsoft change or for certain if anything got changed at all. Yeah I know I'm not helping my own cause but what can you do.

Where is Search File Names option in Mavericks finder?

Prior versions of the finder had an option to allow searching of file names only. This seems to be gone in Mavericks. Is there any way to get it back?

While the default is to search for both name matches and content matches when you start typing into the search box you will be presented with the option to limit the search to the name

Can songs be listed by file name?

I burned the majority of my MP3's 7-10 years ago, and there is no info encoded in most of the files. I have alot of my music just showing up as track # with no other info. I am hoping there is a way to list songs in library by file name. I am concidering buying an Ipod Touch, but if it is not possable to list songs by file name that could be a deal breaker. I have over 3000 songs and with half of em listed as track numbers it would be a nightmare trying to find the song i want.
Thank you in advance for any help you all can provide.

iTunes does not have the ability to display filenames as a list. (It does display the filename for a single file, on the summary tab of Get Info)
In your case, you may wish to use a 3rd party tag editing program such as MP3-Tag to clean up your tags before adding them to iTunes.

What causes the full file name to be listed with bookmarks?

Good morning! What drives RH to list the full file name in
bookmark code in some files, and in others its just the
href="#bookmark? If you change the file name...all the bookmark
links with full file names break. Am I doing something wrong when I
created them...? Not sure how that's possible...but something is
driving this! Any helpful hints from the masters online?

Hi Teri
It's been my experience that if you elect to create a link
from inside the topic to a bookmark, and you choose the bookmark
from the dialog, you end up with a link that simply has the hash
and the bookmark (#Bookmark).
Where you see the file name preceding the hash and the
bookmark, odds are the link was created by the user clicking the
bookmark in either the Project Manager or the Topic List and
dragging from there to create the link. When links are created in
that fashion (I'm addicted to creating links that way myself - it's
like crack to me - if I knew what that was like LOL) RoboHelp
creates the link with the file name (FileName.htm#Bookmark).
Cheers... Rick

Change search options to FILE NAME only

Is there a way to change the search options to always search for FILE NAME only?
I don't know who'd saech for contents every time, that would seem like a last resort if you couldn't find what you are originally looking for and forgot the file name. We have 10's of thousands of files and having the stupid contents pop up EACH time I want to do a search wastes so much time.
Help!

The only way to bypass the crippled Spotlight search is to use a tailored savedSearch. This is what I use. The system files allows finding things in the stupidly hidden user's Library:
