Prevent user change image file

I am developing an swing application, the application use an image file as application logo.
However, i found that user can change other image file. How can prevent user change the image file? Are there any methodologies can archieve this?
Thanks very much. :)

In the unlikely event that I misread the question, I think the OP is referring to the shell icon... which there is nothing to be done as this is OS controlled..
If not and this has to do with the frame icon, simply have the icon packed into the source jar where you can determine access rights... ? The image remains available to the app but is not visible to the user..., at least , the majority of users who don't know what a jar file is.... :)

Changing image file names

hi all.
can anyone help me find a thread (can i run a search somehow in ("Your Stuff"?) where folks were kind enough to help me understand how to change file names?
i am reading through some help documentation on Batch Change but i am trying to remember what i should be doing to most efficiently solve my problem.
basically i have images in aperture which have non-sensical names related to their originally existing in a pc folder organization originally and i would like to both rename them in aperture but also be able to have them EXPORTED to my desktop so i can upload them to the web with some reasonable sounding title such as "client1-town1-HousingType-FirmName-photographer.png" or something similar. right now the images i want to publish are ORGANIZED IN ALBUMS and have names like "folio_construction_other_turtle_134543.png"
i think i WOULD LIKE to change the name of the master but i am not totally sure about this and when i run a Metadata > Batch Change and pull down version name i get selections that i do not fully understand.

i /am/ familiar with a handle little tool called Name Mangler which basically allows me to easily delete all the PREFIX information (such as "folio_construction_other_turtle" and then to pre-pend something like "client1-town1-HousingType-FirmName-photographer" in front of the image number which would be ideal...
apologies for asking this again but until i get through it once i am finding it all a bit tricky.
THANKS

Hi Leonie.
Thank you so much. I am going to be doing a lot of this and just so i understand:
Delete the images you exported and renamed from your Aperture library before reimporting, to avoid creating duplicates. When deleting from the album that you used to export, use the command "delete version", not "delete from album". Do not delete the projects that the images came from, only the images.
Can you help me understand which images i am deleting? I mean, is there a way to delete just the images in the ALBUM because if i have to go in and delete the images from a Project there are going to be a lot more images in the Project and it is going to be very hard to tell which images have been renamed and which have not been renamed. If i have to do this by deleting the images in the Project, i suppose i could use one of your suggestions to color all the images in an ALBUM, say yellow, and then see where the images show up in Projects but even then i think it will be a bit tricky. Are you saying i can just delete the images in the ALBUM by doing "Delete Version"?
Use "File > import" to reimport your image files. I'd put all images that shall be imported into the same project into one folder, and then import each folder on its own.
OK. So - well - so now i am importing all of the images that i originally had in the Database and they are /basically/ (i moved the folder organization around a little bit while the images were on my desktop in this first attempt...) - they are basically getting IMPORTED into Aperture now with the "new" images coming into the database into a new Project that is named according to the Album that they were in?
This is a little tricky for me. Will the old Albums still exist? What if i had more than one Album with an image in it. Also, this "new" image will be in a /new/ Project but will it still be in the OLD PROJECT with the old name? Or, i guess i am getting a little confused as to how this will work.
Select the project in the Library Inspector, that you want to import the folder of images into, then set the "Destination" in "Import settings > Aperture Library" brick to this project and set "Store Files" to "In the Aperture Library".
OK. I can try this here soon. What does Store Files in the Aperture Library do? I guess these images are getting imported as if they are new and they are getting imported with no external references?
Set "Rename files" to "None" or "version name". Both will keep the name you edited.
OK. Not sure i totally understand but i can try this as well. I guess this is making sure Aperture will keep the original names.
THANKS

Changing image file types

Is there any way to publish my sites through iWeb with JPEG image files instead of PNG's?
I know I could open them in Photoshop and "Save for Web..." as a jpeg, but I'm looking for a quicker way to produce these files from iWeb.

Hi jrod318,
Are you talking about the template image files? If you are, jpgs will not work because they don't have the transparency that the png files have. This is why the templates are so nice with the layered transparent image files.
I know there is a better way to explain it, but that is the gist of it.

Prevent user change PO data except Validity start , Validity end and ...

Hi,
I use BAdI: ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST method:PROCESS_ITEM to check if any change PO data after that PO was released. The change will accept only if the changed fields were Validity start, Validity end and Delivery date.
If user change other fields, i use the BAdI to set data in that field back to old data. My problem is when user delete item the field Delete Indicator was set to 'L' so i change it back to blank by method set_data but it still show delete indicator in PO screen.
anybody has any idea?!
best regards

Hi Chantima,
This is only a guess as I did not have time to validate...but only certain fields can be changed in the PROCESS_ITEM method...look at the structure MEPOITEM_TECH for the list that cannot be changed by the customer badi...your delete flag setting may be in there or the setting of the delete flag may update a field in this structure....
You may want to take a different approach and stop the changes from being made instead of backing them out....couple of possibilities include...
A. Restrict all users on this Tcode and PO document type I would look at the configuration in MM->Purchasing->Define screen layout at Document level. You can make fields display only instead of coding a solution.
B. If you have to have more control than provided in the config or need to code the solution, you may want to investigate using the Field selection methods (all start with FIELDSELECTION_*) to stop the changes from being made instead of backing them out after the changes are made.
Good luck.

Changing image file name

I'm working with dreamweaver 8 for Mac.
Imagine that you have a html page with more than 200 images, that you have changed many times during the last few years, some have been deleted others have been added. And some are not linked any more.
At the beginning the pictures were numbered from the top of the page to the bottom of the page in order (picture1, picture2....), now they are messed up (picture13, picture 1....).
If I rename the images in my local file folder, DW update it on the html page. Unfortunately in the local file folder the pictures are not displayed, I have to open all of them (200 images) on my desktop ! I The result: a big mess. So my question is:
Is it possible to make a file name change on the html page, and DW update it on the local files folder?
I hope I've been clear. Thanks for your help.

What I would do is create a PHP script that places the images in a document, sorted on date.
If you Google the subject, you will see many examples on how to do this. One such search gave me this http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/externalphp2.shtml
If you then see an image that you no longer need, you can remove it from the directory. This will leave you with the images that you do need sorted from earliest date to the latest date.
Keep this script for the document that you want to show the images on. Future maintenance will consist of removing the unwanted images from the directory and adding new ones. The PHP page will automatically be updated. No worries with file names, as long as you do not have two the same.
Although I mention PHP, the same goes for all serverside scripts.
Good luck.

How to prevent user from saving file on local drives

Hi,
We have a file server set up on a Windows 2003 Server. Is there any way to restrict users so that they can only open and view the file but they can't save it on their local drives? If not, can this be done with Windows 2008 or 2012 or any Linux
server or any document management software?
Thanks,
Jerry

If you can open the file from a client then generally there is not much you can do to prevent them saving it locally. Unless you restrict the clients access to save anything at all on their local hard drive which depending of the security requirements of
the data you are accessing could be a valid option.
Depending how critical / sensitive that information you could look at alternate method of accessing that file. In my experience securing important / secret data comes down to access procedures just as much if not more than technical solutions.
Maybe restrict access to that file to a handful of trusted users who can then inform the "untrusted" users of any information they need.
Like I say this is a procedural issue as much as anything else.

Changing image file association?

When I set up the iPhone on my computer I accidently set Publisher as default image program. Now every time I plug in the iPhone it opens Publisher, which I have never used in my life.
How can I change that to another program?

One thing that you can do that might help
When the iphone is connected to the computer, open my computer.
The iphone should show up under scanners and cameras.
Right click on the Apple iPhone and choose properties.
Go to the events tab.
Here you can set what the computer does when a camera is connected such as the iphone.
Set it to take no action and the computer will wait until you do something
Hope this helps.

Photostream for Windows keeps changing image file names

Hi, I have iCloud and the Photo Stream application installed on my Windows Vista PC. I have just returned from a trip abroad and took photos on both my iPhone 4 (updated with iOS6) and a separate digital camera. Having taken thousands of photos, I've managed to combine the two collections of photos into one and renamed them in sequence i.e. USA(1), USA(2), USA(3) etc. I want to be able to convert this completed photo collection into a Photostream to share with others on their iPhones and iPads respectively.
I know Shared Photostreams are limited to 1,000 photos each, however when I create and add the new collection of photos to a new Photostream album, it chooses to rename the files and display them out of the desired order. The file names are usually something like 'IMG_00605' and while some are in the correct order and placed next to one another, others are not. Despite playing with the display settings, i.e. Sort By>Name, Date Taken, Tags etc I still cannot get the photos to display in the order I set out in the first place. As you can imagine this is incredibly frustrating, having painstakingly gone through all my photos to ensure they were ordered and renamed sequentially.
Does anybody know how I can rectify this and display my photos in the order I want them to? Any suggestions would be greatly received.
Thanks very much in advance,
James

GPO to prevent users from accessing the root folder of their profile doesn't work

Hi,
Here's the scenario:
In a Windows 2012 RDS I created two groups called RemoteApp users and remote desktop users.
These groups are defined in the collection for the corresponding RD Session hosts.
These groups are not included in any other group, but they are located under an OU -called Remote Users.
In the domain controller I have created a GPO named "Restrict access to root drive" which is linked to the Remote Users OU.
The GPO I selected is - "Prevent users from adding files to the root of their users files folder"
This doesn't seem to work. I have waited more than a few hours to allow the 90 minutes update, plus used the gpupdate /force
but when a user clicks on the RemoteApp (Excel in this example) then access to the C: drive (which is the root folder of the user's profile) is enabled, and the user can create folders and save files under C:.
I tried to run gpresult for the specific user but the GPO I created wasn't mentioned.
I thought this would be a straight forward mechanism, but somehow it looks like something is missing.
I have read about loopback and expanding, but not sure if this is what needs to be done, and if yes - I'd appreciate if I can get step by step instructions. Everything I found so far was VERY vague.
Thanks !
One more detail that may be relevant - the DC is a Windows Server 2012, and the session host is a Windows 2012 R2.

> These groups are not included in any other group, but they are located
> under an OU -called Remote Users.
>

The USER accounts need to be in the OU your GPO is linked to. Despite
their name, GPOs do NOT apply to groups, but to users (and computers).
Groups only provide an additional layer of filtering...

Restrict Users from saving files on Local PC but forced to Network Shared Location

Hi,
We have the Domain in Windows 2003 Standard.
How can I restrict users from saving files in their Local PC?
Also, need to forced them to save the files in Network Location with permissions...
Thanks.
~CoolPra~

Hi,
You can create a file screen to prevent users from saving files on a certain volume. File screens are used to block specific types of files from being saved on a volume or in a folder tree. A file screen affects all folders in the designated path. You need
to update the server to Windows Server 2003 R2 to install the File Server Resource Manager.

Swapping Macs, can't change the image file used for TM to a Time Capsule

Hello ~
I have ten Macs connected to one TimeCapsule (TC) and nine of them work flawlessly performing a TimeMachine (TM) backup. On the one that doesn't work properly, it is a PBP with Leopard 10.5.8, and latest updates. The other Macs are mixed 10.5.x and 10.6.x.
I had a user on the PBP that I had been backing up in the past. I erased the HD and reinstalled the OS, and then created a new account. I wanted to start backing up the new account and have the name of the backup be the new name I put under Sharing Preference (I assume that's where TM gets the name of the backup).
Well, apparently not, the name of the backup is still the old user name from Sharing, and on the old account before the computer was erased.
I have repaired permissions, I have thrown out the TM prefs in Mac HD\Library\Preferences\, I have restarted the computer. So far I can not get the name to change on the sparse image that it copies to, even though TM says the backup completed without error.
So, as it appears the backup is using the same old image file that this Mac had been using, the backup are separate when you go into TimeMachine, they do not seem to access each other's data, and inspecting the contents of the image, the date of the backup file is there for the new user in the old image file.
I really would just like the PBP to stop using the old image file and create it's own image.
Any ideas welcome!
Thanks all
Chaz

I'm slightly confused. What is a PBP or did you mean a MacBook Pro (MBP)? And, what do you mean by a backup "image?" TM does not make images. Are you actually referring to the backup folder for this machine?
If I understand correctly what you need to do is delete the old backup for this machine so TM can start from scratch with a new backup. To do that open the TM application and select your backup, then from the Finder's tool icon in the toolbar select "Delete." which should delete the entire backup.
Also, see User Tips for Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

How do I get a list of all image files for a user?

The Finder folder windows have changed the sidebar. I no longer see any way to configure the Finder window to display a quick search for all images. How do I easily run a search for all image files owned by a user?
I am just starting to set up a brand new system that came with Yosemite and it's user interface has many changes from my older Snow Leopard system. I have many image files from many different sources that I wish to consolidate on the new system. I do not wish to rely on iPhoto at this point. I prefer to use the file system or Finder or Spotlight.

Image file access dates changing in mass (Windows).

In review of the access date properties for image files within a directory being accessed by Bridge within the Favorites area, they are all changing to the current time and date, even if the image is not viewed within Bridge. Why are the access dates of image files being changed even though they are not viewed? This makes it hard to determine whether an image can be archived or deleted based on last access if Bridge is always changing the access date every day. Thanks for any insight you can give on this!

Is there a way to turn off the caching of thumbs or metadata or whatever is causing the Access date to change when searching or reviewing images within a directory using Bridge?
As said, no experience with network environment. But Bridge is a browser and when you want to view things it needs to cache the file and data first.
Having said that, in normal usage (stand alone) it stores and saves this data in the cache folder and once it has done so it will not need to recache until you have made changes to the file. Check Bridge prefs / Cache/ Location to see where the data is stored when you are using this machine.
By default on a stand alone Mac (windows seems to have a similar cache file) it should be in the User Library/ caches/ Adobe/ Bridge CSxx and inhere is a plug in and a folder called Cache, containing several folders.
For Bridge CC there are 4 folders, 256 (the cache files of the thumbs) 1024 (containing HQ preview cache files) data (what it says) and full (containing the 100% previews in cache)
All files that have been fully cached (pointing to a folder the content window should show already good thumbs and the activity bar bottom left in Bridge window should not show any activity, only the number of items showing and items hidden) don't need to recache for that machine again unless you changed something to the file or added metadata.
So once cached there should be no reason for Bridge to 'access' the file again unless access means looking for the file to check if the saved data still applies to the corresponding file on your machine, but then al files should show about the same access time because this is a very fast process on a fast machine.
You can't deselect cache because as said Bridge is a browser showing the content of your files, and to show this it has to generate a thumb and if needed a preview. But as also said, once cached it normally should not start recaching until changes are applied.
You have several ways to set the quality of the cache:
There are two checker board icons top right that give you the option to set for cache. By default it is set to 'Always HQ' to have both good thumbs and a good preview when pointing to a file.
Then you also have to option to generate 100 % previews which provides you with almost instant 100 % previews for loupe in preview panel or full screen view and click. Logically this needs more time and generates a lot of big cache files, all depending on the files you start with and the size of your monitor.
Finally you have the option to use embedded previews only. This is a very quick method but provides low quality thumbs (black border around it) and when clicking on a thumb it first needs to generate a HQ preview that then will take time.
In Bridge prefs advanced there is the option to create also monitor sized previews which should provide you with good quality full screen when using space bar in Bridge to preview in full screen.
This setting also creates a bit larger cache files in the 1024 folder depending on the size of your monitor (logical).
And if you want to apply a search using the find command you also have to include non indexed files to search in all folders, including the not before cached files.
Like first time cache this first indexing takes some extra time but should only need to be done once and then be persistent until you add new files or folders that have not been cached or indexed before.
Until so far the theory for a stand alone. If you have the files stored in a Network and other stations have access and have different cache settings or monitor size settings there might be some other things going on, or someone else has changed the file on their station and then when you select that folder Bridge needs to recache the changes.
Hopefully this makes some sense for you?

My program always displays the same image, even when I change th image file

I'm making a program that chooses an image file from a dialog, resize it and copy it into a folder. When the image is needed to be displayed, the image file is read and a JLabel displays it on screen.
When I upload the first image, everything works fine. The problem appears when I upload another picture: the displayed image is still the first image, even when the old file doesn't exist anymore (because it has been overwritten). It looks like the image has been "cached", and no more image are loaded after the first one.
This function takes the image picture chosen by the user, resizes it, and copy it into the pictures folder:
    private void changeProfilePicture() {
        JFileChooser jFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
        jFileChooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
        jFileChooser.setFileFilter(new ImageFileFilter());
        int result = jFileChooser.showOpenDialog(sdbFrame);
        if (JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION == result) {
            try {
                //upload picture
                File file = jFileChooser.getSelectedFile();
                InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
                //resize image and save
                BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(is);
                BufferedImage resizedImage = resizeImage(image, 96, 96);
                String newFileName = sdbDisplayPanel.getId() + ".png";
                String picFolderLocation = db.getDatabaseLocation() + "/" +
                        PROFILE_PICTURE_FOLDER;
                java.io.File dbPicFolder = new File(picFolderLocation);
                if(!dbPicFolder.exists()) {
                    dbPicFolder.mkdir();
                String newFilePath = picFolderLocation + "/" + newFileName;
                File newFile = new File(newFilePath);
                FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream (newFilePath);
                DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream (fos);
                ImageIO.write(resizedImage, "png", dos);
                dos.close();
                fos.close();
                //set picture
                sdbDisplayPanel.setImagePath(newFilePath);
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                System.err.println("Could'nt print picture");
            }This other class actually displays the image file in a JLabel:
    public void setImagePath(String imagePath) {
        count++;
        speaker.setImagePath(imagePath);
        this.imagePath = imagePath;
        if(imagePath != null)   {
            //use uploaded picture
            try {
                File tempFile = new File(imagePath);
                System.out.println(tempFile.length());
                java.net.URL imgURL = tempFile.toURI().toURL();
                ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL);
                pictureLbl.setIcon(icon);
                // Read from a file
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(SDBEventClass.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        else    {
            //use default picture
            URL imgURL = this.getClass().getResource("/edu/usal/dia/adilo/images/noProfile.jpg");
            ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL, "Profile picture");
            pictureLbl.setIcon(icon);
    }

When you flush() the image, you don't need to construct a new ImageIcon each time, a simple repaint() will suffice.
Run this example after changing the URL to an image you can edit and update while the program is running.import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;

public class FlushImage {
   Image image;
   JLabel label;
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         @Override
         public void run() {
            new FlushImage().makeUI();
   public void makeUI() {
      try {
         ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(new URL("file:///e:/java/dot.png"));
         image = icon.getImage();
         label = new JLabel(icon);
         JButton button = new JButton("Click");
         button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
               image.flush();
               label.repaint();
         JFrame frame = new JFrame("");
         frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         frame.add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
         frame.add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
         frame.pack();
         frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
         frame.setVisible(true);
      } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {

Prevent user from opening an applescript file

Greetings,
I have written an Applescript for use by the User to change file permissions on folders or files they get from clients from outside our company. The permissions of these files denies the User from opening the files and work with them The script I wrote will change those permissions to Read/Write but also contains Administrator information with regards to Admin Name and Password. The script runs just fine.
Where my problem arises is I cannot find a way to prevent a User from using the Applescript application on their workstation to open my script and view the Admin name and Password. What I need to happen is to have the script run when the User places a file on the icon, but not allow a User to open the script to see the coding. I'm really new to Applescript and I figure i am missing something. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Are these items downloaded into the same folder in each user account?
That part is reliably the same or are users involved choosing the save location?
Frankly I'd scrap Applescript - it is a pain for anything involving admin privs & normal users.
Option 1…
Stick a task into roots crontab to chmod/ chown that location every 5 minutes or so!
If you want to be smart about it check if the perms are in a mess before you fix them. A shell script can do this. Obviously you need to check the path to give the correct user the ownership etc.
Option 2…
Set a launchd job to watch a specific folder & run a command when items are added - like folder actions without the crappy Applescript part
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man5/launchd.plist.5.html#//apple_ref/do…
It would need to be a system level job since the user doesn't seem to have enough permission.
If you need to use an application to allow the user to have control an Applescript droplet could move the items to the watched folder, where the launchd job resets the perms. Then the items could be moved elsewhere via the script that runs from the watch job.
It all seems kinda kludgy, but sometimes that is how OS X is!
Perhaps this is outlandish & impractical but so is manually fixing stuff like this every time someone calls
Any thoughts?
