Obtain folder contents and details

Hi
Ideally via MS Excel, I would like to obtain the contents of a SharePoint document library. By contents I mean
File name
Size
Last Modified Date
Last Modified By
As regards the SP library, I could put the address in hard-coding or if possible I don't mind that a dialog opens to ask user to select the "folder" desired. And thereafter for all contents of this folder (document library) I would like to
obtain the above list.
All help is appreciated.

Hi,
you can create custom view for the list and then can export the view to MS Excel.
For detail of creating custom view, chk the below link :-

Hope this will help you !!
Thanks

Coping folder contents and sub folders

So, I'm working on a little practice folder sync project (fun with my mac)...
...and I'v gotten hung up a bit because my little copying app doesn't seem to count folders and sub folders (which I suppose makes sense).
My initial idea was to take just the date of modification and compare it to the last date that the app was run, inorder to only copy changed files. But this seems problematic on a few levels, so...
So, my two part question is:
1. Is there a simple command to copy folder contents and sub-folder contents, or do I need to tell the script to do each sub-folder individually?
2. I imagine that a better way to manage which files/folders need to be updated is to create a file with a list of the contents, and dates of modification, and compare the new folder list and the old folder list to each-other... ok.. so, um. yeah. that sounds tricky.

>1. Is there a simple command to copy folder contents and sub-folder contents, or do I need to tell the script to do each sub-folder individually?
There are two common solutions to this.
The first is to use the Finder's 'entire contents of...' command to get a list of everything in the folder, including sub-folders, the second is to make your script recursive - that is, it calls itself several times over.
In the first case it's as simple as:
tell application "Finder"
set allItems to entire contents of folder "path:to:source:folder:"
-- rest of code goes here
end tell
This can have problems, though, especially on very large directories since the Finder is not very efficient at building a list of hundreds or thousands of files.
The recursive path is a little trickier, but you write a handler to process a folder then repeatedly call that handler, like:
<pre class=command>on run
set sourceFolder to (choose folder)
processAFolder(sourceFolder)
end run
on processAFolder(theFolder)
tell application "Finder"
set allItems to items of folder theFolder as alias list
repeat with eachItem in allItems
if class of eachItem is folder then -- we have a subfolder
processAFolder (eachItem)
else
-- code here to compare the file and back it up
end if
end repeat
end tell
end processAFolder</pre>
So here you walk through the folder, each time you find a new folder, you walk through that until you're done. The code takes care of keeping track of where you are in the folder hierarchy.
>2. I imagine that a better way to manage which files/folders need to be updated is to create a file with a list of the contents, and dates of modification, and compare the new folder list and the old folder list to each-other... ok.. so, um. yeah. that sounds tricky.
There's no need to keep a file. Assuming you have two folders you can just walk through one of them checking to see if each item exists in the other, then copy the newer file to the other directory, like:
<pre class=command>on processAFile(fileName, sourceDir, destDir)
tell application "Finder"
-- check if the files exist
set sourceFileExists to (file fileName of folder sourceDir exists)
set destFileExists to (file fileName of folder destDir exists)
-- now comes the logic
if sourceFileExists and not destFileExsits then
duplicate file fileName of folder sourceDir to folder destDir
else if destFileExists and not sourceFileExists then
-- assuming you want a two-way synch
duplicate file fileName of folder destDir to folder sourceDir
else -- both files exist, so check mod dates
if (modification date of file fileName of folder sourceDir) > (modification date of file fileName of folder destDir) then
duplicate file fileName of folder sourceDir to folder destDir
else if (modification date of file fileName of folder destDir) > (modification date of file fileName of folder sourceDir) then
duplicate file fileName of folder sourceDir to folder destDir
end if
end if
end tell
end processAFile</pre>
If you're not planning a two-way synch an even simpler option is to just keep track of the last time the synch was run. Then all you need to do on subsequent runs is ask the Finder for 'every file of folder sourceFolder whose modification date is greater than lastRunDate'.

Sync "Pictures" folder I mean the main folder content and not its subfolder

I really search here and all over the internet with no success...
That SIMPLE thing I want to do is to sync "pictures" folder with my iphone. iTunes only lets me sync its subfolders but not the images at the main pictures folder itself. This is driving me crazy because if I select to sync my user folder, and then select "pictures" as a subfolder, then it says "0 images" and nothing is sync'd...
Please? Any idea? Thank you

It has always been this way. it was never different. This is how the iphone handles photos - always has.
There are NOT two copies, There are simply two ways to access the very same photos. All synced photos will ALWAYS be under Photo Library ( you can look at all photos at once this way or do a slideshow of all photos). Those very same photos can also be accessed from the individual folders so you can show or slideshow just that folder.
Just as a book can be in the library and in the fiction section, there is only one book/photo.

Read folder contents and upload

The following is what I am trying to do. I have already done Items 4 and 5.
I really appreciate if you can help me to find out the examples or documents that can achieve the functionality specified in 1,2 and 3.
1.     We are scanning and storing the images (.tif) in our server (application server or some other network location)
2.     When user logins in, I would like to show the list of all the images that are available in the specified location.
3.     User should be able to select the desired image and should be able to view the image.
4.     User will assign unique identification to each image and save the image to the database.
5.     User should be able to review the saved image at any time.

Prameela ,
Do you need help with 1, seems like this is outside of Oracle entirely.
Assuming you figure out number 1 you have probably two options for 2 and 3. One is to embed a java file picker object like the one they use in the facebook photo albums application.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/filechooser.html
Another option is to make the directory used in 1 available to the database as a directory object. Then you can use the techniques presented here to display the file names.
http://www.chrispoole.co.uk/tips/plsqltip2.htm
You could allow the user to pick the file and then load it from file use the DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE procedure to get it into the database as a blob. This could bypass your need for number 4. In fact you could just load the files into BLOBS at will for the user and never really store them in the database.
Hope this gives you a little direction. I think the main issue here is access to those files, the direction you take depends on if it is something the user will need to do through the OS or the database will need to do through a directory object.

Get Folder Contents....bug? ***

I am creating a workflow using a combination of variables and filters to reorganize a bunch of files. I frequently use the "Get Folder Contents" action in this workflow. It works the first couple of instances I have it in the workflow and in all instances when I first create the workflow. However after I save and quit the workflow, if I open it up again the from the third instance of using the "Get Folder Contents" action it stops working and is flagged as "Get Folder Contents" encountered an error. If I delete this instance of "Get Folder Contents" and drag a new one into the same space it works fine....until I save and quit the workflow and open it up again - and then it fails.....
How do I fix this?
Any help greatly appreciated....

You can pass the input items directly to a Run AppleScript action, or use the Get Folder Contents and Filter Finder Items actions to get a list of file paths. If you are looking at just getting names, I have a Get Names of Finder Items action that can return various paths and file name parts of the input items. The action can be downloaded from my Automator web page.

her contacts are connected directly with the Google Server so as long as they are saved to her Gmail account she should be 100% fine.. the only contacts she may lose are the ones that she added directly onto the phone and did not sync to her Gmail account.. so you should just double check with her on that

File content conversion - sender adapter for Header and detail records

Hi Experts,
I am receiving a field of fixed length content format.(Header)The first line of the file will follow the structure X having some fields and (DetailRecord)subsequent lines in the file will follow structure Y having somes fields.There is no record identifier for Header and Detail records.In one file first line is Header records and remaining subsequent line is DetailRecord.What are the parameters we have to set for sender file content conversion parameters as i donot have any key field and key field value.And in one file we have only one header records ( first line) and n number of detail records from 2nd line onwards.
Thanks

How to create a logon script to delete folder, subfolders and contents when a user logs on ?

I need to create a logon script which will delete a folder, subfolder and contents when a user logs on. I have no experience with scripting so any pointers you can give would be much appreciated.
Thanks

depending on how you have thing set up, it might be easier to make a LaunchAgent to handle this. do this:
copy the text below into a text editor
save it as a plain text file in /Library/LaunchAgents with the file name "user.startup.folderDeleter.plist" (the name doesn't matter so much, but the 'plist' extension is required)
load the plist into launchd by restarting the machine or by opening terminal and running the command launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/user.startup.folderDeleter.plist
This will delete the folder any time any user logs in. You could also expand this to delete the folder periodically (once a day, for instance) if that would be helpful.
Note, this file must be saved as plain text. apps like TextEdit sometimes default to making rich text files which will not work. Either download a programmer's text editor like TextWrangler, or make sure that TextEdit is using plain text (if the window has a formatting toolbar it's using rich text; select "Make Plain Text" from the Format menu).
copy the text below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

How do I upload or drag and drop folders into my website folder content?

Am I limited to uploading or dragging and dropping only files? I have folder content I want to place in these folders in mmy Creative Cloud Accounts websites?

Thank you Manish-Sharma for offering help. I have way too many individual files to upload singly. It would only be opportune to upload the individual folders. Until Adobe creates such to upload folders, there is no reason to upload any content so I will not be able to benefit from displaying any content. I just do not have the time to upload by this means. So, it is a feature that makes no worthwhile availability in Adobe Creative Cloud to me. This really needs attention by Adobe otherwise it is a major point to not continue using Adobe Creative Cloud. It makes no sense to lack the ability. John

For forum: re: Tools Options Network Offline Web Content and User Data, see Details below, thanks in advance!

For forum: re: Tools>Options>Network>Offline Web Content and User Data, (Help) says in part, '..If you have previously blocked a website from storing data for offline use..', If this refers to the times I have 'denied' a web service from storing data on my machine, then something is wrong. I have 'denied' many such requests, yet there is nothing in the box (Exceptions) 'Offline Data'. Why is there nothing in the box, and/or how do I manually add a service to the 'blocked' box? For me, this is a real problem as I have spent as much as 5 minutes clicking on the little 'Deny' box in the request before it goes away and allows me to watch the video I wanted to watch (the little 'request' box sits right in the middle of the video box, blocking viewing of the video). Is this a problem with Adobe Flash Player Settings (whos 'request' box it appears to belong to) or a problem with the Firefox> Tools (Local Storage) settings? (a picture of this 'request box' available on request)

Note that Offline Web Content is different then local DOM storage and is only used on a few websites that run an application like the mega.co.nz website.

Adobe Functional Content and the Creative Cloud

Hello All
To any Adobe Employee who may read this, can you please get someone at Adobe to take control of this issue and see that the library, templates and all other functional content gets packaged correctly and enabled as a download and "sub-install" for the parent product inside the Adobe Application Manager.
I think as subscribing users we should get better service and direction from Adobe in regards to this functional content. As I type this I have more than 10 tabs open, each one leading to a thread that has something to do with how to install and fix a problem with the Functional Content for After Effects, Premiere Pro and Encore.
See if you can in less than 30 minutes figure out exactly what to do to activate this content by reading these threads:

I have been very reluctant to do anything because I am reading a lot of conflicting and incomplete information. This link in particular, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-missing.html, is really unhelpful because there are 3 methods to do something but reading it I am not sure if each method does the same thing or if each does one part of the 3 sets of missing Functional Content. Additionally "solution" 3 presents a place to put the content but then leaves out the path we are to do it to.
Most disappointing is the fact that the first "solution" did not get me the menu buttons I am looking for in Encore and I don't know if I screwed up or if the install was incomplete for some reason.
Do I now need to install one of the other "solutions"? Those of you in the community that are about to hit reply, please don't. Do not answer that question.
Here is why...
Adobe is responsible for delivering us customers a product. It is Adobe's responsibility to fix the mess that a number of paying customers are having regarding this Functional Content.
TO ADOBE:
Here is what I and I think a lot of other subscribers want you to do:
You already have a Solution in place. One that doesn't require a lot of user intervention and doesn't require anyone to pick a "solution" and screw it up, search for more help and spend hours of their time fixing a mess.
Adobe Application Manager. Create the proper installation packages. Put them on the servers, tell the AAM how to clean up the mess any users who have tried these "solutions" have made. Then have it install the proper packages as a "Sub-Installation" for each of the parent software that it is for.
This solution will not only make things better for us end users, but you will also make the manageability of the Functional Content easier for your teams as well. And if your teams wanted to add additional Functional Content to any program that is part of the creative cloud or that the Adobe Application Manager manages, then it would be a simple matter of creating an installation package and adding it to the AAM's list of installable programs.
You just did this exact thing with Lightroom 4.1! Why can you not do this for the Functional Content?!?
Back to the Community Members that want to answer my post. Don't. Instead if you agree with me or even if you don't, sign off on this thread or indicate your virtual thumbs down. Either way I don't want an answer, I want an action from Adobe, the only ones who can fix the mess.
I really believe that the Application Manager is the most elegant solution. If any of you have ever used Steam, you know what a great feeling it is when you can download a game demo, try it, buy it and just have everything take care of itself. I don't even have to worry about updates; Steam takes care of my games. And the thing that makes it really valuable? I DON'T PAY $50 A MONTH TO USE STEAM AND HAVE IT JUST WORK, IT IS FREE!
All I want at this point is Functional Content that I don't have to read a 50+ page manual to install. I know that is an exaggeration, but honestly if it is 1 badly written set of instructions or 50 what does it matter? I don't pay Adobe so I can read up on how to install their software; I just want to use it.
I guess I should also point out that this is now the second large hold up to my project that I started subscribing for. The first was a problem that I again had to figure out the solution to by working around it, when again Adobe seems to be unable to correct the problem, here, here, here and here.
And now here I am again at a slight stand still because I can't use my DVD authoring software to create a button on a Wedding DVD menu.
Okay, you can go ahead and reply... but I would still prefer no answers, just /agree or /disagree.

Did you even read the post?

For now though please reference Library, title templates, template projects missing: Premiere Pro, After Effects, Encore CS5 - CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-mi ssing.html for information on how to obtain the additional content.
Have you read the page in your link?
Can you correctly install from the instructions on that page?
And I quote:
Additional Solution: Install the Resource Central library content
Download the extra library content
Choose your language to begin the download:
English French German Japanese Italian Spanish Korean
Extract the Library content to the Library folder
Extract the zip file that you just downloaded. This will create a .7z file, eg. en-US.7z.
Extract the .7z file to any convenient location, eg. Desktop. This will create a folder based on the language you selected.
Copy the contents of the language folder (eg. en-US) to the following location:
Keywords: cpsid_85388
Where? Copy the contents to where? I don't see a path written there... is it a secret? Do I have to highlight the hidden text? Nooo... that didn't work...
Honestly I must appologize for my brashness and sarcastic attitude. I find it questionable to expect the paid subscribing creative but not technically inclined customers to do the work of fixing this problem when Adobe has the means and the tools to fix it for us.

Ok. Fair enough, I will admit that last night in my anger and frustration I was being a little childish.
But as a Community Professional don't you believe that you would be better served by Adobe if they were to make one easy simple Adobe Application Manager download for the content that should have been published right at the launch of the new version? Wouldn't your time be better spent actually working on your projects rather than fixing Adobe's mess and responding to people in 10 different forums trying to help them?
All of this also makes me wonder how Adobe prioitizes the "bugs" that people are dealing with. Wouldn't it be quick to put a someone or a couple of people on the problem of gathering the functional content and getting them to package it and ready it for publishing through the AAM? The process of adding it to the list of installs might be more complicated but a package that knows where to put the content? I would think that something like this could be give a get it done now priority as it would aleviate a lot of the forum posts and something like the missing export choices in Media Encoder or Premiere Multicamera Issues would take more time due to investigation and so you put them on a priority based on the number of users affected.
It just seems to me that a month after launching a new version is an awfull long time for the publishing of an update to add functional content that was in all the previous versions.
I guess I will stop "ranting" now. Thanks for responding Jeff AW, at least I have official word that there will be some sort of update on this issue.

Imac slow to display folder content

Hi,
My Mid 2010 Imac 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 with 4GB 1333 MHz RAM is currently having problems displaying folder content. As I am a photographer I am often opening folders of images and needing to view them and recently when I click on a folder or sub-folder the images can take upto a few minutes to display (making it look like the folder is empty). It only seems to happen intermittently.
I have already checked hard disk space and have 371 gb free space. I was also advised to look at the green coloured free memory segment in the pie chart on the Activity Monitor which was very small. Since closing lots of programs which were sat on my dashboard and also deleting some items off of my Desktop this has now improved and is running around the 475 MB mark. Despite this, the displaying of folder content has NOT improved in the slightest.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks

Surprising that the RAM hasn't improved things. Once you've resolved the current issue I'm sure you will notice a boost in performance 12gb is ample RAM for most uses.
Before re-installing it is vital to have a backup of all your data so that you can restore in the unlikely event of a problem. Re-installing the OS will not delete you data, but backup - at any time - is essential. An up-to-date Time Machine backup or a bootable clone of your HD using an application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! will do the job. Many on here keep both forms of backup.
If you do decide to re-install the OS you can do it from the Recovery HD. Restart holding down Command + R and from the screen with 4 choices select Re-install OS - you'll need an active internet connection and you might need to input your AppleID credentials to perform the install. It's a 4gb download so it might take some time, depending on your connection speed.

Restricting the folder content creation in cFolders!!

Hi All,
If in a particular collaboration scenerio say ABC;if I assign "create document" authorisation to the folder,the users will be able to create various kind of folder contents.
But my requirement is to allow the user to create only note type of content.Pls give your inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dharam

Hi Dharam,
This can be achieved by selecting the object types (eg Folders, Documents, Bookmarks, Notes etc) that you want to use in a collaboration.
If you are a cFolders administrator, you can define which object types are to be used across the entire system on the General tab page under cFolders Administration.
If you are not a cFolders administrator but have administration authorization for a collaboration, you can change this default setting for the relevant collaboration. To do this, proceed as follows:
Go to the collaboration detail screen and choose Object Types. A list of all object types appears. By default, the objects that have been selected under cFolders Administration are already selected. You can select the objects that have not been selected under cFolders Administration as required.
Change this selection if necessary. You can select exactly those object types that you want to be used in your collaboration. The system-wide default is not affected by this.

Folder Content Listed in Content Area

I understand that this is an issue that was fixed from a previous version, but I will give it a shot anyway.
I would like to direct the folder content to open in the "content" area NOT in the portlet when I select a folder, but apparently this was something that was fixed in 3.0.8. Does anyone know if there is a way to get it back the old way?

Outlook Public Folder access and permissions

How do I add an account to a public Folder and grant management permissions to that account?

Hi,
To add permissions for client users to access Public Folder content, we can use Exchange Management Shell to add it as what ManU PhiliP posted.
Alternatively, we can use the Public Folder Management Console to add public folder permissions for a client user. For detailed steps about this, please refer to the following official article:
