Obtaining the full file path specification from Flash Movie and QuickTime icons?

How do you obtain the full file path specification from Flash
Movie and QuickTime icons? I want the path and the file name that
is contained in these icons. I am using a "dive" to run through the
icons of a file, and when I come upon these two types of icons, I
want to obtain the above information that is contained in them. I
certainly can look in the property dialog box to get this info, but
there are many icons in these files, and I want to generate a list
of info based upon the various types of icons that I am processing.
Thanks

Getting the full file path from FormFile

Hi, I am reading in a .csv file from my JSP page and I want to pass the String path from my Action class to the logic layer class. When I try and pass it at the moment, it throws an FileNotFound error as it is only passing the file name. i.e
Passing
text.csv
not
C:\text.csv
Is there anyway of detirming the full file path using the FormFile class?
Thanks in advance

Yes, as in Struts.
I am not trying to upload the file, simply trying to read the contents from the file. My problem is that I want to read the contents from one of my business logic classes, not within my struts Action. I can get it working if I use
byte[] datainfile = file.getFileData();
and then send that but the I would prefer to just send the full path to my Business logic class and process everything in there rather than doing some in my Action and some in my logic class.
So what I would like to put in my Action class is something such as
processCSVFile(String filePath);
instead of
processCSVFile(Byte[] formFile);

Display the full file path in title bar

I apologize for my username. After getting a ton of "username already exists" I went to the keyboard crushing technique to find one that didn't.
We currently use Adobe Acrobat 9.5.4
I am assisting a user who would like the full file path of the opened PDF to display in Adobe's title bar. Right now it only displays the file name, as shown below -
Instead of "Adbove Community_ Start New Discussion.pdf" he would ideally like to have "C:\users\unamehere\desktop\filename.pdf" or the full UNC path like "\\myserver\department\projectnumber\filename.pdf".
Is this possible? Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Tell me about usernames...
Unfortunately, I don't think there's any control of this. Adobe regularly change what appears, but they don't let us do it.

Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

Please be more specific. What Premiere project? What version of Premiere? Which operating system? What CoDecs do the QT fiels use? Are all the video files in the correct folders inside the Premiere project structure? Your description sounds like you are attempting to open a Mac based project on a PC and your video files are either in the wrong location or use a Mac-specific CoDec, hence they cannot be read on a PC.

Exporting from flash movies without quicktime

I used to convert flash movies in dv (for further editing in imovie or Final cut express). With the latest QT update this is not possible anymore (and a lot of my projects are unreadable...). Anyone knows an (possibly inexpensive) way to convert a .swf file in dv or something else digestible from QT or visualhub? (visualhub relyes on QT support for converting flash movies, so this is not doable...)
Thanks in advance.

Buy a cheap external HD and install an older version of Tiger (and QuickTime) on it. Use http://perian.org and QuickTime Pro to make the conversion.
QuickTime 7.3.1 no longer supports Flash media formats.

Missing Photographs - 5,000 in total - is there a programmatic way to get the complete file paths missing?

HostOS : Mac OS X
LightRoom version : 4.4
I accidentally moved linked files over the past few years, and just discovered (via "Missing Photos" view) that I have 5,000 missing photos.
I know the master photos are on my hard disk drive ... so, that is the good news.
BUT I do not want to have to click to re-link all 5,000 missing photos one at a time.
Is there a way to programmatically get the list of file paths of those 5,000 missing photos on my MacOSX system -- so that I can write an AppleScript to extract the unique image file name from the full file path extracted from LightRoom, locate the image in Finder, and move it back to the expected file path where Lightroom expects to find it?

If most of your reorganization consisted of moving whole folders rather than individual pics, you can quickly relink entire folders, or even folders of folders, rather than individual pics. In the Folders pane on the left, right-click the missing folder and select Find Missing Folder.
If you moved individual files rather than entire folders, then to get a list of the file paths of all the missing files, first do Library > Find All Missing Photos. Then use the ListView plugin to get a list of the photos' file paths into a text file.

Copy full file path+file name in Midnight Commander

Hi!
How can I copy a file's full path with the file name in Midnight Commander?
If I press Ctrl+Alt+Enter it's shows this to me in the command line but I can't copy this route.
If I mark a file with 'Insert' and than if I would like to paste this for example in Mousepad or any other text editor with Shift+Insert or Ctrl+V it isn't works.
(Relatively newbie sitting here so if the answer is complicated please write a step-by-step instruction )

Well,I did a lot of research on the internet and I found the best solution.
- choose the file,press 'Ctrl' + 'Shift' + 'Enter'
- after that you can see the full file path + the file name in the command line (bottom of the screen)
- Select the text with 'Shift' + 'Mouse Left Click' (drag it across the whole command)
- For copy the text, press 'Ctrl' + 'Insert'
- For paste, press 'Shift' + 'Insert'
This is still pretty damn slow,I wanted to do it with a single key combination while the file is selected but it looks impossible.
But at the same time I have started to use Ranger file manager which is also runs from terminal,extremely fast,easy to use and if I press 'Ctrl' + 'Insert' on a file it is copies the full path with the name of the file itself. Just perfect.
I won't mark the thread [SOLVED] because if anybody knows a better method for this in Midnight Commander (with a script or whatnot) maybe will write it down for us. I hope...

Show Full File Path

I have no luck locating the full file path to a Photoshop document in CS5. I have tried hovering my cursor over the short title in the tab for the document, but I only get the name of the document.
I am on XP Professional.
I don't have this problem on another computer which I use that runs Vista.

Hi Noel,
Thanks for the help. I am refering to documents opened from disk, not new documents. I ended up writting a script that I have a hotkey assigned to that brings up an alert dialog with the path to the file on disk:
The whole issue is: I have opened a bunch of files in PS, some may be duplicate images in different locations, or "I just want to know where [on disk] this image is that I am working on" without having to close-reopen, go to the recent list, or other series of steps. I know this may sound kinda lame at first look, "Hey doesn't he know where the file is that he just opened?", but working in the games industry I, at times, have many files open or am moving from one [disk] location to another and it is just VERY convenient to have the file path info readily available in PS.
BTW: A cooler windows util for getting/copying the path (in a variety of ways) of a file in windows explorer is the context util called Path Copy: http://download.cnet.com/Path-Copy/3000-2072_4-10036463.html. Which looks like this:

LastDialogtext does not show the whole file path

I am tring to get the file path for a dialog using rswapp.LastDialogtext. The value returned is shown as "M:\Regression_Tests\...\ASDERV.xls". The actual file path is "M:\Regression_Tests\SA!\SA Reports Test\ASDERV.xls". How can I get the full file path?

I am not doing anything really different when I am trying to capture that dialog. The dialog is generated when I press a button and tries to create a report. Before showing it in that dialog, it displays three other common IE dialogs Save, SaveAs and Close. All those are dismissed using Dialog Manager. This dialog is finally closed by clicking the X on the dialog. I am checking for its path before it closes using LastDialogText, which is not shown completely.

How do I obtain the full path string for my file?

Many Mac applications are particularly bad at guessing what folder I want to grab a file from. As a result, I waste a great deal of time fishing all through my directory tree in order to put and take my files in and from the right location. It does seem to be better is some applications but still the nuisance is an issue. Of course in Windows this can happen too except there I have a workaround to help out the foolish applications. I can copy the full literal path to the clipboard from Explorer. Then when the file access dialog comes up I can paste the full literal path ahead of the filename and snap to the correct folder. On my mac, I have had mixed success approximating this strategy. Sometimes, if the target folder isn't empty, I can use the Finder to browse to the target folder and open the Get Info dialog for a file and copy the full path from within that dialog. This does not work though when the folder is empty and Mac does not support the create new text file on the fly feature. Furthermore, I have noticed some strange behavior even when I do have the full path copied. One such example is using TextEdit, pasting this full path has resulted in the application using the full path as a really long filename for the new file which still resides in the folder the application incorrectly assumed.
There is a list box in most Mac file access dialogs with _some_ of the recent folders I accessed listed for quick selection but nine times out for ten the folder I just came from isn't among them. That detail really surprises me. Do regular Mac users have habits that prevent problems like this, or is there a better way to _bank_ a literal folder location I know I'll need to use soon and often, or do I just need to get used to fishing for folders during file access?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Most of us are users here.
Create folders and drag those 'frequently used' folders to the left-hand FAVORITES column/sidebar in Finder.
Then just drag your files to the destination folders, or click on them to select them as destinations from your applications.
When you no longer need these folders, right-click to remove them from the FAVORITES sidebar.
They'll still be in the original location where they were created, just no longer visible in the sidebar.
Another thing to note is that the full path of your current destination is shown at the bottom of the screen in Finder. In this case Macintosh HD, Users, (Home folder name), Desktop.

Full File path of the uploaded fie in struts

How do we get full file path from the FileForm component in Struts upload.
Acutal requirement is that ,
in the file browser component, the user may select a file or he may paste and external link like http://www.xyz.com/abc/index.html etc..,
How do we get the value that is in the input in the File Browser component as it is?
Any help, is highly appreciated.

I don't have a clue, but I would see that as a security threat if I was a user. I don't want to send local path names to a server.

Problem in reading the excel file path in WINDOWs machine from UNIX environ

Hello friends,
My requirement is to read each row of the excel sheet and sent that row to the database. I have implemented it by using jxl and apache poi framework. locally in my WINDOWS machine it is working fine..
But when i deploy the code in UNIX machine. My application runs on a Unix server , trying to read the excel file in WINDOWS environment. I am not able to retrieve the file path. for ex : C:\Documents and Settings\sabbanik\My Documents\KARUNAKAR\excel.xls
I am getting error in this line
workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath)
Error message : input file not found.
Thanks in advance..

You said: I am getting error in this line workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath) >
Based on this, I will assume you are trying to use OLE to access information about the Excel file. As mentioned by Andreas, your code will be executing on the server (Unix) and since Excel isn't on the server (and cannot be) an error will result. OLE can only be used in Windows environments (client or server). To access client side OLE calls and content, you need a java bean and Excel installed on the client machine. Oracle provides WebUtil as an option to writing your own Java Bean. To use this, you will need to be running Forms 10.1.2 or newer. Details can be found here along with a demo:

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

Full file Path when using FormFile in struts

hi,
i am uploading an excel file. All is doing fine but whatever file is selected by user by clicking the browse button, its does not retreive full path it retreives only the file name selected......

<html:form action="uploadFile.do" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
     <html:file property="fileName" title="Browse" />
     <html:hidden property="methodtoinvoke" value="uploadFile" />
     <html:submit value="submit" />
</html:form>when i retrieve this filename and convert it to String its only shows file name and not the full path, as a result it always pick this file name from the current working directory.
how can i get the selected file path ????
Pls help
thanx

What would do a server side program that processes the file upload do with the client side path of the file?
The server side process (your Action class) would receive a stream of bytes (multipart data) that contains the file's contents as well as other info like size, content type etc.
