Opening files from an XServe – Can Bridge copy them local first?

I have an issue with my users opening files directly off the network. This sometimes causes issues with the server and particulaly leaves those InDesign temp files everywhere.
My question is that it was my understanding there was a way to use Bridge to copy the file in the background at open and close. A process that would be invisible to the user. We are using XServe, no version Cue, all on 10.5.latest. Any suggestions on where to start or reference for similar code would be greatly appreciated, speak slowly, I have never coded for Bridge or java.
Thanks in advance!

Hello dj_paige,
Thanks for your reply. I did get an email notification.
I've discovered that the photo files are actually copied over to the Pictures folder. Why do I need to keep my external drive connected when working on a file then?

Retrieve files from a text list and copy them to other location?

Hi,
I work as a photographer: my clients often send me their final selections of my pictures as a text list (i.e. file001.jpg file 004.jpg file 054.jpg and so on), so I have to go back and pick each picture "by hand": this is a huge waste of time since I'm dealing with hundreds of picks in thousands of files.
My question is: is there a way to retrieve and copy the selected files automatically? I was thinking about feeding the list of files to Automator, but I can't seem to find a way to do it.
any hints?
thanks in advance
Andrea

ok I seemed to have it sorted out...
Niel, I'm no programmer at all, but thanx to your script I was able to come up with this:
tell application "Finder"
set source_folder to choose folder with prompt "Select folder with all pictures"
set the_files to every paragraph of (read (choose file with prompt "Select text file with the names of the pictures to be copied"))
set target_folder to choose folder with prompt "Select destination folder"
repeat with this_file in the_files
try
duplicate item this_file of source_folder to target_folder
end try
end repeat
end tell
that seems to work!
needs some fine tuning, like including subfolders of the first folder chosen!
THANX AGAIN!

Can't open files from Bridge in CS6

All was good with CS6 until today - it will not open files from Bridge. Jpg and RAW, neither will open, it's driving me bananas! Any suggestions?
Edit: Problem solved. I had overlooked an old version of PS 7.0 was still in my program files and CS6 Bridge had picked it up as default editor. Deleted PS 7.0 and everything is back to normal. Phew!

Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations. You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default. Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it. It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it. Also save the serial number in safe place. Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year. HD can fail.
There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version. Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions. So it is safest to leave them be.
If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed. Can really foul it up.

Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys. Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it. It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.

Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

Hi,
Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
Files that were created earlear also not opened.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
SSL yes
port 587
SMTP Authentification Yes
Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
I'll try and use the old passwords later.

You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.

Can't open files from download bar

I use Google Chrome as my default browser and it annoys me how I cannot open files I've downloaded from the download bar.
When I try to click "Show File in Finder" it doesn't seem to work also.
Oh, and when I receive files from Skype, I can't seem to click the eye button to open the file.
Currently using a 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display with OS X 10.9.2
Anyone know how to fix this issue? Thank you.

If those functions are internal to those Apps, you'll have to ask Google how to fix it.
However, you might try Repairing Permissions in Disk Utility. It sounds like it might be one of those rare situations that might be helped by that tool.
If it is not internal to those things, please describe what you mean by the "download bar" and the "eye button."

How can I check the open-mode of an opened file from the file refNum?

How can I check the open-mode of an opened file from the file refNum?
Especially whether a file is opened as read-only or write-only? I haven't found any VI in the panel with file VIs.
Thanks for any hints!

Check this post. Probably you can use a kernel.dll call.

can't open files from my e-mail. How to fix it?

Hi Boxergirl,
Did you happen to install anything else, or make any other changes to your system. I'm flummoxed how signing up for an online service could affect file associations. Here are the steps for resetting file associations on Windows 8.1: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows8_1-desktop/windows-81-how-to-set-a nd-restore-file/16c2e10d-ec99-4fee-8f56-b87c4338e006
Please let me know how it goes.

CS5 doesn't support that camera. You need CS6 or later or the free DNG converter.

I have this problem for some time now. I don't have these issues in my other devices, my MacBook Pro and my Samsung Galaxy Note 1.

> LR2.2 and ACR5.2 aren't out yet, though, so you will have to wait a bit.
Don't let ACR5.x availability confuse you. IE, you won't be able to use any version of ACR other than 3.x with CS2. You will have to use the Lr2.x update when it's available, or use the DNG 5.2 converter if CS2 ACR3.x is your preference.

No.
I find it extremely frustrating that Apple does not care for such an obvious bug affecting one of the basic funcionalities of AirPlay. Unless, of course, if there's something I don't know - but I've done some research and it seems that plenty of people have same issue and no solution is settled.
