Overriding automatic replacing of AE projects with incremental file names in Dynamic Link (CS5.5)

Hi everyone,
I've been searching all corners of the internet for an answer to this question including this forum and the Adobe help documents, so I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before.
First off, we're using Premiere Pro CS5.5. We have recently switched from a FCP6 to a Premiere workflow and we're really enjoying the Adobe Dynamic Link feature. Unfortunately, we've discovered a bit of a problem with our workflow.
All our AE projects are named something like "heb_alef_01.aep", "heb_alef_02.aep", "kor_hhh_01.aep", "kor_hhh_02.aep". These don't correspond to different versions of the same videos, but rather ...01.aep is video #1 and ...02.aep is video #2.
You can probably see how this causes a problem when it runs into Premiere's feature of automatically updating project files if it finds an exact filename match in that directory with a higher number at the end. If I try to import "kor_hhh_01.aep" it will instead give me "kor_hhh_02.aep", for example.
I noticed that in CS6, a checkbox has been added to the Preferences pane which will prevent this from automatically happening, but I wanted to know if any options exist for Premiere CS5.5 users. If necessary we can adjust our file naming structure, but I really didn't want to deal with the far-reaching implications of that if possible.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Are each of these different AE project files pointing to clips within the same Pr project? (Seems like that may be the case..?) If so, it is highly recommended to only have 1 AE project per Pr project, and just have that include all of the comps corresponsing to the clips in Pr. Then, when re-opening the Pr file, click on "edit original" on any of the DL clips which will open your AE project, and any subsequent DLs that you send over will stay in your original AE project.
Disregard if I mis-read your problem and my advice is irrelevant.

Labview IMAQ VI for capturing images and saving with incremental file names

Hello,
I am using LabView 7.1(IMAQ) to capture images with NI's PCI 1426 card, and a JAI CV-M2 camera. Now, with the example VI's like LL Grab, or LL Sequence, or Snap and Save to File.vi, I can capture the images. But what I actually want is to capture images continuously and keep saving them with a sequentially incrementing file name.
I have tried to modify the Snap and Save to File.vi by adding a 'for loop', so as to run this for required number of images. This works okay, but I can't really change the file name after every image. However, I'm not confident with this method either. I think it would be better to use the buffer itself, as is given in LL Grab.vi and somehow save images from the buffer. I think this would be faster ?
In any case, any ideas as to how I should go about implementing auto-incrementing of the file name ?
Any help will do.
Thanks.
- Prashant

Hi,
Thanks a lot for replying.
I tried using this in the VI i was working with, but using the "build path" vi doesnt seem to work. If I use just the base path from user's input, it works, but then again it keeps overwriting the images into one file rather than giving each file a new name. I'm attaching the vi.
Please take a look and tell me where i'm going wrong.
Thanks again.

Replace Unknown Source in EcmaError (JSR223) with actual file name

Hopefully someone here knows how to do this:
In my code, all of the scripts are contained in .js files. Whenever one of the scripts contains an error, I get this:
javax.script.ScriptException: sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.EcmaError: ReferenceError: "nonexistant" is not defined. (<Unknown source>#5) in <Unknown source> at line number 5
What bugs me is the <Unknown Source>. Multiple files are in one ScriptContext, and it can be hard to track down an error. It also looks horrible.
Is there a way to replace <Unknown Source> with the actual file name? None of the methods I see support passing a File object, so I'm really confused here.

I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)" more........ .

Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
"Unable to to assemble calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
How can I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
Thank you for your help.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine.

How do i print a photo with the file name

This seem stupid simple but I cannot find an answer anywhere. I want to print out hardcopies of phots with the file name printed with the photo. In Windows there is a program called Picture Manager (which has been eliminated in Office 2013) where you can open a folder of images, rename them individually or in batches, resize, edit, etc, all in one lovely program. You can print out individual or contact sheets with specific information for each image. Easy, one program, easy results.
Is there a comparable program for the Mac? I have searched the web and can only find suggestions that use multiple progams, downloads, plugins, and convoluted work arounds to do this. I have tried printing contact sheets in iPhoto but it crashed each time. Our IT guy suggested moving the images into an album and printing from there but it still crashes. And even if it worked I want large image per page but iPhoto leaves a large amount of white space.
The quickest way I have figured out is this:
Select the images in Finder, make a separate folder and copy the images there. (3steps)
Locate the folder in Finder and drag it to the Bridge icon (4steps)
Select the images in Bridge, adjust the output settings and Save as a pdf (6steps)
Locate the pdf in Finder, open in Acrobat, select the images (again!) and print (9steps)

Bug:Downloading pdf file from the web,file name in dialog box populates with incorrect file name

Hi Gurus
When downloading any pdf file from the web using adobe Reader X the file name dialog box populates with incorrect file name
compared to the saved file name of the document downloaded.
Clarity
1. Download any pdf file from the web
2. Click File, Save as note the populated File Name
3. Compare the populated file name with the saved file name of the documant yuo are downloading.
4. The file Name is incorrect...
Is there any work around on this issue?Can someone please help?..
OS:Windows7
Reader: Adobe Reader X
I've tried a couple of other versions and still get the same results...

Are you downloading the file (right-click, save link as), or just opening it by clicking it?
If the latter, then what happens is the file is loaded to the temporary internet files folder by IE and assigned a temporary name, which is then used when you're trying to save it.
You can test this out by going to File - Document Properties before trying to save and looking at the file's location.

Save As with suggested file name and folder

I would like the user to be able to press a save button on the pdf and the "Save As dialogue box" pops up pre-populated with a file name and location choosen. The user can then choose to name the file something otherwise or select a new location. I would just like to save them the steps of copying the field data and finding the correct folder (deeply buried on server) however to place the finished document in.
This doesn't seem to require a trusted function, but how do I suggest the file name based on a field name in the document. And how do I suggest the folder the document should be saved into?
Thanks in adavance.

IDoc to File with different file name and data based on the IDoc header dat

Hi,
I got a requirement to implement IDOC to file senario. In this the Converted file should have the file name and file content based on IDoc Header data. Means If one of the IDoc header field value is
'A' - then the file name recieved by reciever system should be 'A.txt' and with the columns A B C D F.
'B' - then the file name recieved by reciever system should be 'B.txt' and with the columns C D F.
In both the case IDoc message type is same.
Please suggest me what i need to do to achieve this.
Thanks in Advance. ...
Regards
Sri

Hi,
As per my requirement, we need to create one file for each IDoc based on IDoc header data. SAP program generates 10 IDocs for each run. All 10 IDoc's message type is same. Each IDoc has one header record with the file name. Base on the name in the IDoc header record, file needs to be created with different columns and file name. Means..
IDoc 01- Header Description contains 'A' - than file will be generated should have name as 'A.txt' and columns 'parent' 'child' 'descripion'.
IDoc 02- Header Description contains 'B' - than file will be generated should have name as 'B.txt' and columns 'Name' 'Department' 'Description'.
IDoc 10- Header Description contains 'J' - than file will be generated should have name as 'J.txt' and columns 'Order No' 'Materail' 'Description'.
Hope this will give more clarity on my requirement. Please let me if you are still not clear on requirement.
Thanks for your all help..
Thanks & Regards

Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. Any ideas?

Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. It finds some things, but is not to be depended upon. Any ideas?

Try reindexing spotlight: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support
If you still have problems, open Console app, select All Messages, then search for mds in the search field. Then search for mdworker. See if there are any messages indicating it is having problems with certain files.
You can also delete the index altogether and cause it to reindex with a command in Terminal. I have always assumed the method above will do the same, but I'm not certain. You must run this command while logged into an admin account. Copy the whole line and paste it into Terminal.
sudo mdutil -E /
sudo temporarily elevates your privileges and will ask for your password. When you type it in, there won't be any response in the Terminal. Just type it and hit return.

Need to generate multiple error files with rule file names during parallel data load

Hi,
Is there a way that MAXL could generate multiple error files during parallel data load?
import database AsoSamp.Sample data
connect as TBC identified by 'password'
using multiple rules_file 'rule1' , 'rule2'
to load_buffer_block starting with buffer_id 100
on error write to "error.txt";
I want to get error files as this - rule1.err, rule2.err (Error files with rule file name included). Is this possible in MAXL?
I even faced a situation , If i hard code the error file name like above, its giving me error file names as error1.err and error2.err. Is there any solution for this?
Thanks,
DS

Are you saying that if you specify the error file as "error.txt" Essbase actually produces multiple error files and appends a number?
Tim.
Yes its appending the way i said.
Out of interest, though - why do you want to do this? The load rules must be set up to select different 'chunks' of input data; is it impossible to tell which rule an error record came from if they are all in the same file?
I have like 6 - 7 rule files using which the data will be pulled from SQL and loaded into Essbase. I dont say its impossible to track the error record.
Regardless, the only way I can think of to have total control of the error file name is to use the 'manual' parallel load approach. Set up a script to call multiple instances of MaxL, each performing a single load to a different buffer. Then commit them all together. This gives you most of the parallel load benefit, albeit with more complex scripting.
Even i had the same thought of calling multiple instances of a Maxl using a shell script. Could you please elaborate on this process? What sort of complexity is involved in this approach.? Did anyone tried it before?
Thanks,
DS

Two cams with same file-name...

Hi! I have had an EOS400D for a couple of years, and have recently bought a 40D. The problem now is that the 40D has been used so much on a trip to the Philippines, the camera´s file numbering are the same on a series of pics. Both cams used simultanously. This confuses Aperture, so when i preview one pic, another shows up... Doues anyone have a solution for this?
Doug

That's got nothing to do with the file names, as Aperture uses it's own internal IDs to keep track of each image, regardless of file names.
What's happened is that the thumbnails for each image and the index which tells Aperture which thumbnail is for which image don't match up.
To fix this you need to rebuild the Library - quit Aperture, then launch it again while holding down the Command and Option/Alt keys. This will rebuild the database from scratch.
Obviously, don't do this until after you've backed everything up, just in case...

Saving documents with similar file names

When saving documents with similar file names, I used to be able to hit save as button and go to the file folder I wish to use. I could then click an existing file in the folder to draw in the name and then just modify it slightly to create the new name.
In Reader DC I get an error saying this is a read only file an can not be saved. I can save the file if I use a different file name but then I have to go in and rename the file. i.e. if I have a weakly report that I save, I may have the file name "Installerspayroll.we.04.25.15.pdf."
I used to be able to click on the existing file name to bring it into the name box and then just change the date. The updated version is not allowing me to do that, creating more work.

I opened a new project with the same name as an existing project and it deleted my existing

Bad day on my part. I spent all day recording a song with Garageband. As I finished it, I exported it to iTunes (Thank God), closed garage band and listened to the song. Hearing that it had several seconds at the beginning that were silence and not edited out I opened a new Garageband project under the same project name as the previous one and it erased everything the previous project had. Leaving me with no file. No project. No memory of the initial project. Any clues or am I SOL?

SchilbAaron wrote:

the OS should have asked if you wanted to replace the old file with this one. if it did not, perhaps you saved this file in a different folder and the old one still exists? You could try a spotlight search on your entire hard drive to see if both files exist.
if you did replace the old with the new, the only real hope is that you have a backup (perhaps you use Time Machine?)

if that's the _only_ issue, not completely out of luck. you could drop the audio file back into a new GB project and export an exact length:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#exportexactlength
(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
Note: if you compressed the export (mp3/acc) you'll be double compressing the file and losing a lot of musical information, but it may be better than losing a One-Time piece of work.
an alternate method would be to use an Audio Editor to cut out the silence. i'm not sure that this would save any quality, i think you'll still be double compressing the file, but it's something else to try, and listen to, to make a decision on which is better:
