Preventing the Creation of Hidden Files

Hello,
Is there a way to prevent OS X from creating all those annoying hidden folders on external drives and cards? Im talking about the folders and files like .ds_store, .trashes, ect ect. Basically the ones that will show up on other systems like Linux and Windows. It wasnt really a problem before, but recently ive been having to transfer a lot of individual files around and every time, it would create a hidden file for every file, and then it would create all these other hidden folders and such, making it difficult to navigate on a PC.
Unfortunately, I wont be able to respond what you guys can tell me until i get back from a trip for 3 1/2 weeks. But please, if you know how to do this, leave a post and Ill get back to it ASAP. : )

Does BlueHarvest do what you want?

F110 - How to prevent the creation of DME file in Proposal Step

Hello,
I would like to prevent the creation of DME file in Proposal Step of Payment Run (F110).
Is it possible to suppress "Create Payment Medium" checkbox?
Many Thanks

If you are using the Payment Medium Workbench, there is perhaps a solution:
I found the following code in function module FI_PAYMEDIUM_OFX_20
* We abort the payment if the data is from a payment proposal. With
* OFX we can pay only if the data does not come from a payment
* proposal.
IF I_FPAYH-XVORL = 'X'.
MESSAGE E404 WITH I_FPAYH-LAUFD I_FPAYH-LAUFI
RAISING CANCEL_PAYMENT_MEDIUM.
ENDIF.
So I think it may be possible to solve your problem by using the event modules in transaction OBPM3, with your own function module based on the code given above. I have not tested such solution and I have no experience with these events, but I'm currently trying to use them for another problem.

F110 - How to prevent multiple creation of DME file?

Hello,
I need to prevent multiple creation of DME file for the same Payment Run (after it has been created once).
"Printout" bottom creates DME file and Payment Advice any time you trigger it.
I'm searching for some User Exit / BAdi / Function that will help me to add ABAP code that will check if DME file has already been created.
Thank You in Advance

Hello,
Please check if the flag "Create payment medium" is not flagged at the proposal and the payment run file.
If it is flagged the payment file will be generated. Also when you press the print out button, the print program will be called and the system will try to created a new payment file.
In order to avoid duplicated payments you should consider using the flag 'Payment Document Validation" in your print program.
If the 'Payment Document Validation' parameter is not set ON, documents already processed for payment can be selected and paid again in a subsequent payment run, when posting terminations have occurred.
Please refer to SAP Knowledge Base Article 1713825 in order to activate Payment Document Validation.
Another option is to suppress the"Create Payment Medium" flag at Proposal Run.
In this case you should check the following information:
Please restrict the activity 15 of object F_REGU_BUK in the user
profile/role
You may also refer to the available activities on this:
- 02 Edit parameters
- 03 Display parameters
- 11 Execute proposal
- 12 Edit proposal
- 13 Display proposal
- 14 Delete proposal
- 15 Create payment medium proposal
- 21 Execute payment run
- 23 Display payment run
- 24 Delete payment run payment data
- 25 Create payment media of payment run
- 26 Delete payment orders of payment run
- 31 Print payment medium manually

It is not good to mess with the structure of the iPhoto or Aperture Libraries.
You can access the image "files" from within the programs. Anything you would want to do with an image file you can do with the image in the iPhoto app itself.
If you really must get to the file, you can select Reveal in Finder from the File menu.

When I look up the creation date for files on my Macbook I get the date and month in brackets, but not the year. Why is this and how can I look up the year?

When I look up the creation date for files on my Macbook (using "get info", or the information window in Iphoto) I get the date and month in brackets, but not the year. Why is this and how can I look up the year?

Does the Date Modified column in a window set to List view show the date correctly, or does it also display it incorrectly?
To add additional columns to a Finder (folder) window, with that window open and active open the View Options for it. You can do that by pressing Command-J or by selecting View Options from the View menu in the main menubar.

Disk utility to prevent the recover of deleted files / empty trash securely

I just used the disk utility to prevent the recover of deleted files...
It created a recovery folder which I tried to empty trash securely...i the got a message saying there are some locked items and I responded to remove all items...
It would not let me do that the file stayed in the trash until I changed the setting and just emptied the trash the conventional way..
Can anyone tell me why that is happening???

Disk Drill, and all other file recovery apps for the Mac will recover every deleted file it can find on the drive. However, it should not have been at all possible to recover the ones you deleted with Secure Empty Trash. All files currently in the trash have every bit of their data overwritten 7 times with random data.
Were these part of what was recovered? Or just other normally deleted items?

Noticed my hard drive getting filled, didn't save 500 Gb of data on it. I made the observation that hidden files are been created on the Hd. I assumed they were unnecessary and deleted most of them. To my dismay am getting a kernel panic msg. what to do?

Depending on what directory or directories you were erasing from you've certainly erased important system files and perhaps important applications files as well. If you have been using TimeMachine to back your computer up you should reboot into recovery mode (restart and hold Command + R until you see the Apple icon) and perform a restore.
If you haven't, boot into recovery mode anyway and choose the install OS option. Keep your fingers crossed that the OS is the only thing you deleted and that this works. You may also find it necessary to reinstall some of your software.

Entering Opportunities: Preventing the Creation of a Bill-To Site

Hi -
My company has many accounts set up that have Ship To and Sold To sites but no Bill To site.
When an order is placed for one of these accounts, the Bill To Location is different from the ship-to - it would be another account on file with a billing relationship set up with the first account. This relationship is set up on the Relationships tab for Customer Account Details.
This set up works well for us.
However, if we enter an Opportunity for an account that has a Ship To site but no Bill To Site (because it should bill to a parent), a Bill-To Site is automatically created for that account. This is not desirable behavior.
Do you have any suggestions as to how we can prevent this?
Thank you,
Seneca

Preventing the editing of illustrator files when given to a client

Hi all,
Wondering if someone can help.
Our problem is, one of our clients has asked for the actual illustrator file with the artwork in it. We want to somehow prevent them from editing the artwork and just be able to read & print the artwork from illustrator.
Is there any way of doing this, maybe password protecting layers or something? were on CS3.
Thank you for your time.
Jason

In my opinion one should NEVER send original artwork to clients. PDFs are o.k. and so are good quality screen shots, but if you send editable artwork to a client you are asking for trouble. After all, you are the designer and if the client wants to make alterations he should ask you to make them. More often than not clients operate on Windows, so pdfs and RGB pixel files (jpg, png, tiff etc.) are all he will really need.

How can I export speech analysis text with imbedded timecodes for the creation of subtitle files?

I found a script that allows you to export all your text layers with time codes as a .srt subtitle file. However, instead of multiple text layers, I have only one: essentially the meta data from Premiere speech analysis that with the aid of a different script, is being used at a "subtitle layer". Essentially, I'm trying to use this data to create a .srt file so I can create actual subtitles, not this hybrid animation/text layer.
Here is the script I used to export the text layer to .srt:
Subtitle Exporter v01
Script by Philipp Grolle
www.display-artists.de
Instructions:
Select all the Text Layers you want to export, run the script, and save the file as .srt
Attention: The Script has not been debugged or testet. Try it on your own risk!
// get all the selected Layers
var theComp = app.project.activeItem;
var alleLayer = theComp.selectedLayers;
// count how many layers are selected
var anzahlLayer = alleLayer.length;
// Enable the line below if you want to change the order of your text (ascending / descending)
/* alleLayer.reverse(); */
   // prompt to save file
   var theFile = File.saveDialog("Save the text file.", "untitled.txt", "TEXT txt");
   // if user didn't cancel...
   if (theFile != null) {
      // open file for "w"riting,
      theFile.open("w","TEXT","????");
         // Do it for all the selected Layers
         for (x = 0; x < anzahlLayer; x++)
             // get In- and Outpoint of the current Layer and convert to timecode (00:00:00:00)
            var timecodeIn = timeToCurrentFormat(alleLayer[x].inPoint, 25);
            var timecodeOut = timeToCurrentFormat(alleLayer[x].outPoint, 25);
           // split the value of the inPoint; converting last 2 characters (frames) to milliseconds, and finally join it again with comma instead of colon
            var str_in= timecodeIn;
            var timeCodeAnfang_in=str_in.slice(0,8);
            var timeCodeEnde_in=str_in.slice(9,11);
            var millisek_in = timeCodeEnde_in*40; // 1000 milliseconds divided by 25 fps = 40
            var zusammen_in = timeCodeAnfang_in +"," + millisek_in;
            //split the value of the outPoint; converting last 2 characters (frames) to milliseconds, and finally join it again with comma instead of colon
            var str_out= timecodeOut;
            var timeCodeAnfang_out=str_out.slice(0,8);
            var timeCodeEnde_out=str_out.slice(9,11);
            var millisek_out = timeCodeEnde_out*40;
            var zusammen_out = timeCodeAnfang_out +"," + millisek_out;
            //counter for the number above the timecode (in the results)
            var zaehler = x+1;
            //writing the results to file
            theFile.write(zaehler);
            theFile.write("\r\n");
            theFile.write(zusammen_in);
            theFile.write(" --> ");
            theFile.write(zusammen_out);
            theFile.write("\r\n");
            theFile.write(alleLayer[x].property("Source Text").value);
            theFile.write("\r\n\n");
      // close the text file
      theFile.close();
      // open text file in default app
      theFile.execute();
As I am only using one text layer, it shows me only one continious subtitle in the .srt file. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I should add that I myself am not particularly familiar with scripts or scripting, I'm merely trying all possible solutions to my problem and this seems to be a good approach. Any help would be much appreciated.

How to open the phone's hidden files using Nokia P...

Hello. I am Callista. I like to explore my cellphones using Nokia Phone Browser. Some of the files can be opened while others can't. Graphics menus, which containt clip art ect. are visible. But why gallery menu especially ringtones invisible. Are there any software needed to open these special files? Please send me information on this.
I'm using now N95. 7610, 3155, and 6015.
I'm longing for the answer, and I hope can get quick respon from Nokia.
Thank you very much.

the nokia phone browser in the pcsuite has limited functionality, it was programmed that way by nokia. if you want to truly explore your smartphone you will have to get a third party app like fexplorer or other neat ones for your phone. there are s60 forums like this one, google it, you can't go wrong.
everything happens for a reason

How do I find hidden files/folder in the Users folder?

Hi,
Is there any way to make certain files visible in the Users folder? I purchased a plug-in and in order for the update to correctly work, I need to find the old file (which is hidden.) I tried Spotlight but it didn't find anything.
Any tips/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. Enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
To hide hidden files substitute No for Yes in the above command line.
To use Spotlight you need to enable the search for hidden files. You need to click on the "+" button next the the Save button in the search bar of the Finder. Then select Other from the Kind drop down menu. Locate the "File Invisible" attribute from the list and check it to enable it. You can now select the option to display or not display invisible files.
Download Easy Find - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - and use it instead of Spotlight. Easy Find will find everything Spotlight doesn't find.

How to avoid creation of _(file.*), coping from tiger to pc?

how to avoid the creation of this file for ever on a pc environment??
I explain: as i copy any image file, it goes to a spooler directory and that begins instantly to process the file to an OPI server, separating CMYK channels, converting it to high and low resolution...
but as this _(file) is created (same name and extension, but 0Kb and with this _ underscore in the beggining of it name), it begins to process it, and as it really does not exists as an image itself, it crashes the OPI server, forcing us to restart it...
and then, you can imagine the mess, because we're a newspaper, with more than 100 machines logged in two cities simultaneously...
thanks for those who replied last topic I posted about some softwares to delete it! it really worked!!
but now, can anyone have a clue how to DON'T create this file?
thanks in advance!

I believe that command is supposed to stop the creation .DS_Store files on servers. Also, I think the plist file gets written to the user ~/Library/Pref, it probably ought to exist both there and in the /Library/Pref folder to really work.
I didn't think the Save for Web option would work for your purposes. I don't believe anything will work except to strip the resource fork off the files before you send them. There is an Applescript that will do it, using a UNIX command in the script. You select a folder, run the Applescript, and it strips the resource fork off all files in the folder and creates a sub-folder called Stripped with resourceless copies of the files in the original:
-- Strip resource fork and metadata in Tiger for one file.
-- If a folder is selected creates an unresourced subfolder of the selected folder
tell application "Finder"
     try
          set aFile to the selection as alias
          set aFolder to the container of aFile
     on error
          display dialog "Select a file"
          return
     end try
     set aFile to the quoted form of POSIX path of aFile
     do shell script "rsync -a " & aFile & " " & aFile & "Stripped; mv " & aFile & "Stripped " & aFile
     update aFolder
end tell
The "do shell script" line must be all a single line in Script Editor. It might wrap funny in the browser. Anyway, copy it, paste into Script Editor, hit compile, and save it as an application. I've only fooled with it a little tiny bit, so I'm not sure whether the rsync process would have any strange effects on complex Photoshop and EPS files or not.
As far as I know the only way to send Mac files without resource forks to a server is to strip them from the files.

It appears "save as" was removed in the creation of Yosemite. How can I save a spreadsheet as a new document and then change all the data

"save as" was removed in the creation of Yosemite (File > Save as) How can I save an existing spreadsheet so that I can modify the data, rename it , and save it as a new document?

rkaufmann87
To address the first part of your response; as unnecessary as it was; save as has not been gone for years!! It is predicated on the operating system in play on ones computer. The software that I was using as recent as six months ago had a "Save as" option in the menu bar. Further, as you may have noted in "babowa's response it is clear that it still exists to this day in apple's most recent software "Yosemite 10.10.2. This appears to be true whether talking about numbers or pages (apps.) Oh, and by the way I am employing the most recent versions offered by Apple! Your car may be five years old but I am sure you still find it very useful. Case and point; it's not gone!!!
