Overwrite Exisiting Files - error

I see this questions has come up a few times, but having read the answers it seems i still have a problem.  can someone clarify if i am making an error my workflow please?
Take images in Folder XXX and develop them
Export these images to a new folder YYY.  add to catalogue not ticked
Syncronise YYY and bring in new images.  Apply a develop preset to these images on import
Export the images in YYY with preset applied as jpegs to YYY for external use.  Select "Overwrite without Warning"
Error comes up saying this cannot be performed as woudl replace exisitng photo
     My understanding from other threads is this eror should only happen if you try to replace an original, but was designed for exactly my purpose when you are operation on copies.  I am just owndering how LR is meant to know that the imported copy is a copy not an original.  What attribute would tell in that as importing through syncronisation is the same process.  If I used the "add to catalogie" in stage 2. does this let LR know it'sa copy?  If so I could add my preset manually?
i am using LR 2.5 on Vista 32 bit
Thanks for any advice.
Mike

The bug that allowed overwriting of files present in the catalog was resolved some time ago. LR has no idea what "originals" are, it just won't let you over write files present in its catalog and a good thing to! The over write function is to over write exported images, I use it all the time and it works fine. So if I want a set of images for one purpose I export them to a folder, if I then need them in a different size or whatever I just use the same folder and over write the previously exported files. No need to import these files into LR as I have the "originals" and can always make virtual copies if I need different versions in LR

  • Photoshop Overwrite exisiting file

    I'm using this line to write over an exisiting document if it exists already
      save in (localBrandFolder_PSD) as Photoshop format with options myPSDOptions without copying
    This doesn't give the expected behaviour.
    Previously on other applescript I have used it in this was

  • Help, file error preventing me from opening project.  Overwrite save as new?

    Hi there, I've been working on a big project - saving locally and backing up at night, but now my daily file is corrupted and won't open...  I'm getting the following
    Do you want to overwrite the file or save as a new file?
    When I select "Overwrite" or a File Save As, I get the following message in response:
    Adobe Captivate could not open the file because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    I'm using captivate 3.  I wasn't doing anything other than trying to save the file at an interval through out the day as I always do.
    I have plenty of hard drive space - so that is not the issue.  I did move the project it off and delete it from the original source and try to reopen...any other suggestions or explanations for why this is happening?

    Will try, Tom. I ended up just force quitting , which I lost my project.
    Another question: I'm working in Photoshop Elements importing into FCE. I was told by Apple to work in 720 x 540. I created cute frames and borders around my pics. On the computer looks great, disc image looked great but when I burned to dvd, I lost most of my frames, borders. Is there any way to resize so that the borders, etc. can be seen without having to redo from scratch? Need to get this to a friend by tomorrow so I'm in a crunch for time.
    Thanks so much!

  • Can't Overwrite Existing Files with Same Name - Likely a Mail Error?

    Couldn't find this on the forum... Hope I can explain this properly.
    When I design something and send a proof I will send a PDF through mail. When the revises come in I used to be able to just overwrite the existing files on my desktop and re-send through mail. But now programs won't let me overwrite files with the same name anymore. Basically the program says "overwrite existing file?" but then say "file is in use. Can't overwrite."
    Back in Leopard this used to happen when I would have a mail draft open that used the data of the file I sent or was about to send. I would just have to save the mail message as a draft and the file was "no longer in use" so I could proceed as usual. But now it does this all the time regardless.
    Did this make sense? It's kind of hard to explain... But basically now when I want to send a revised file (and this can happen dozen of times in a day) I have to trash the existing file I want to overwrite. Or rename the file, which is confusing for me and my clients.
    Any thoughts?

    I have the same situation as you - sending out pdfs of designed pages and wanting to overwrite them continually. It used to happen on an older version of Mail, then it disappeared and now it's back with the latest version.
    It's more than annoying, it's downright driving me nuts. In the last hour I had to quit Mail seven times.
    Please send a fix for this Apple.

  • Overwriting the File in File Adapter

    Hi All,
    I hav a module processor (in Receiver file Adapter)which checks the existence of the file by name DOWN.flg befor writing the file by the same name at the same location. if the file already exists, then it has to wait until another system deletes (as per the requirement). if not, it has to write the file. I had done this successfully with an FTP receiver. but when i'm moving the same functionality to the local drive(now the receiver is a local directory on the XI Server), then i'm getting the following error.
    <b>Error</b>:Attempt to process file failed with java.lang.Exception: Overwriting file '/cpe/data/DEV/XI_/IN/APD/Commander/DOWN.flg' not allowed due to configuration flag
    <b>Error:</b>
    Exception caught by adapter framework: Overwriting file '/cpe/data/DEV/XI_/IN/APD/Commander/DOWN.flg' not allowed due to configuration flag
    these are the errors which i found in the audit log. i din't check the overwrite Existing File option in the Receiver adapter.Can anyone help me out in resolving this.
    Anyhelp wud  b greately apprecited...
    Thnx in Advance.

    Hello Jayakrishnan,
    Thank you very much for the tip, actualy it was very tricky, since the overwrite existing file option is not possible in the "append" mode on my XI version (SP12). THis is what we have done :
    - modify the communication channel to "create" mode and check the "overwrite existing file option".
    - activate it
    - chanche back to the "append" mode
    - activate it again
    And then it works !
    Thanks for your help

  • Problem in Overwriting the file in Receiver File adapter

    Hi  all,
    I configured my scenario Proxy to File. Every day the back ground job runs in SAP and send all Employee Details to XI, XI then write it into File in XI server, in Receiver File adapter i enable overwrite existing file.
    But some times its over writing the file some times came up with error like "Access Denied".
    Can any one tell me what could be the problem.
    Kind Regards,
    Kiran

    > But some times its over writing the file some times
    > came up with error like "Access Denied".
    This can be a Authorization problem...may be at that time you are unable to write any file in that directory..or some other application is using it and it make a lock at that time.

  • Overwrite existing file not working for FTP

    Hi XI Folks,
    I am trying not to overwrite the file at receiver - FTP server.
    It is getting overwritten though I uncheck 'Overwrite existing file' checkbox in FTP. But the same is working fine for NFS. Please find the config details below.
    Receiver communication channel Configuration:
    Transport Protocol : FTP
    File construction mode: Create
    Put File: Use temporary file
    Overwrite existing file : Not checked
    The file is getting overwritten. Iam in SP15.
    Receiver Communication channel Configuration:
    Transport Protocol : NFS
    File construction mode: Create
    Write mode: Use temporary file
    Overwrite existing file : Not checked
    The file is not getting overwritten. It throws an error in Message monitor with wait status.
    Is the "overwrite exist file - checkbox" works only for NFS & not for FTP.
    eagerly expecting relevant response,
    Kiruthika S

    Sasi,
    If we have two files with the same name then what do you want to do? It is the same scenario here? If you dont check the overwrite existing file option then it can write the file also. If you check then it will overwrite. If you dont want this then you can add the timestamp to the existing file. Else you have to make sure of the naming conventions of the file.

  • How to find trace file error in form

    hai all,
    i have big problem in my form in apps i open the form one error is ocuured,
    i got the trace file and check the error,
    PARSE ERROR #82:len=2903 dep=0 uid=173 oct=3 lid=173 tim=4265689973879 err=904 this is the trace file error meassage,
    how to find this error in form and also this is occured one select statement,how to find this select statement where can be used in form,
    i have one button ,when ever i press the button this error is ocuured,i check this button pl/sql procedure code but in this code not using that sql statement,
    if any one know to find the sql statement through trace file.
    plz give the replay as soon as possible.
    thank's

    The newest SQL Developer can converts the trace to readable format too, I'm not shure if you see the sql statement related to the error then.
    It seems you get ORA-00904 which says you use an invalid coumn in a dml statement.
    Normally such error should pop up in message - do you overwrite the message handling or use exception handling in you form which block this message?
    Easiest way to find this is to compile the form against the target database.
    If this does not give an error, you should check, if you use dynamic sql statements which are wrong.
    If you call database routines from your form, than this could be the errro cause too.

  • How to programmatically overwrite the file in Labview?

    Iam using Copy.VI for copying a file from one directory to other. If the file is already exist in destination directory, Copy.VI generates an error of "10". I wanted to overwrite the file which is already exist. Does anyone has solution. I have attached a file which is written in Labview 6.1.

  • Disable "Overwrite existing files" when upload doument

    Dear team,
    in document library, when upload document, i don't want the document to overwrite the documents with the same name.
    there is chekbox in upload page, that is default checked, I searched and some people said that I can update the upload page, find the checkbox control, and set the value to false, so i update the value in Upload.aspx and Uploadex.aspx page to change the
    value.
     but after changing the value, I cannnot open the upload page successfully, it always shows error.
    Did I do anything wrong?

    Hi Greetings.
    This is not the right procedure
    Scording to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to override SharePoint OOTB Upload.aspx default for " Overwrite existing files" checkbox.
    We can use the AdditionalPageHead delegate control to change the default without modifying upload.aspx.
    There is an article for your reference, although it is about the WSS3.0, it still works for SharePoint 2013: Turn Default Upload Overwrite Off in WSS 3.0
    Please follow the steps as below:
    Download the solution file form here
    Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
    Open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
    Run the command: add-spsolution c:\ DefaultUploadOverwriteOff.wsp
    Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
    Open the site, clilck Site settings-> Site collection features-> Default Upload Overwrite Off->Active.
    Open the library, the 'overwrite existing files' checkbox will be unchecked.

  • FCE 4 Suddenly Stops Recognizing Certain Files It Previously Recognized (File Error: Unknown File)

    FCE 4 has suddenly stopped recognizing certain files that it has recognized without a problem for the past several years I’ve used the program. It won’t recognize 1920x1080 mp4, but it WILL recognize 1920x1080 mov and it WILL recognize 1080x720 mp4. All .h264 codec. Using AIC 1080x60i in FCE. It also won’t recognize .jpg or .tif. There was no software update that could have thrown this off. It was a working one day, not working the next kind of situation. Files play fine in QT. Reinstalled the program. I still get the same File Error: Unknown File. Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    Have you tried trashing uour FCE preferences? That is usually the first step when FCE begins to act in unexpected ways. Reinstalling the app will not overwrite existing preferences - you need to trash them.
    You can download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free) and it will do all the work for you. Do a Google search.

  • Permissions issue only the FIRST time I try to overwrite a file.

    I've a standard user account and I've found overwriting protected files is bugged in Leopard.
    As an example: every time I'm upgrading Camino web browser with the latest nightly build (by dragging the new version from it's disk image, and into the Applications folder) I get a permissions issue the first time only. As usual I am warned I will need to authenticate, then I am warned I will be replacing a file, then the first time only I get told I do not have sufficient privileges on one or more items to continue. The second time I try I am allowed to progress to the authentication window where I enter my admin username and password and the operation completes.
    The same thing happens with other files I'm trying to overwrite that are located in protected folders (I just use Camino as an example because it is a daily occurrence). But it ONLY happens the first time.
    This has persisted through three erases of my brand new iMac's HD and clean installations of Leopard. I have of course run Disk Utility multiple times to repair the HD (no errors found) and repair permissions (just the usual ACL errors every Leopard user faces).

    Hi,
    What's the error message did you get? It would be better to provide a screenshot for your problem.
    Generally speaking, this problem can be caused by third party adds-on of IE. You can try to start IE with no adds-on mode for test.
    Open run, type iexplore -extoff, pess
    Enter.
    If it works properly, please chck which plugin enabled in your browser, try to disable them for test.
    In addition, this can also be caused by IE settings, try to reset IE for test.

  • Logical end of file error

    I am getting a "logical end of file error =39" message when trying to export audio to SDII for making a time stamped (BWF) . Any ideas?

    How long is the wedding video?
    My standard list of things to do first...
    Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
    Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system.
    Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
    Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
    Reboot your Mac.
    If you still can not get it to run correctly, next thing to try is to throw out the iDVD preference file (don't forget to change back those preferences you want different from the defaults next time you run it). If it still doesn't work, then I would suggest you reinstall iDVD.

  • Crystal Server 2013: How to troubleshoot "Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357"

    We have a Java7 web app, which generate PDF report by calling Crystal Server 2013 SP4.
    The app is being deployed on many different servers. We sometimes got the error below when generating report:
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357 [CRSDK00000615] Error code name:internal

    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:113)
    Problem is, this seems to be  a pretty generic exception. It could be caused by many different reasons.
    e.g. network connection problem, wrong DB login, wrong folder path, lack of folder access right, etc.
    Each time we could only guess what's wrong.
    We are running into it again, and this time everything seems correctly configured so far.
    We wonder if there are more info we can get to troubleshoot? For example, any log file of Crystal Server we should look into? Or does Crystal Server has debug mode which prints more details to tell us what goes wrong?

    Hi Henry,
    I believe you are using RAS SDKs to export the reports to PDF.
    Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs. Usually if connection is lost and the RAS server no more have the session to write to the temp directory, we do see these errors.
    Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create a file in RAS's default temp directory? Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions on App server or RAS, tracing RAS server is the way to move forward.
    Thanks,
