Project Manager: Dealing with FOLDERS that contain audio?

Hello everyone,
I just started using Project Manager, and I'm in the process of reorganizing files. Upon examination, I've found I dont like the current location of some folders that contain audio files and would like to move them. I know its possible to "cut & paste" audio files into new places, but the manual says nothing about folders of audio and how to move them. Is there a way to do this in PM?
Along the same lines, I dont like the names I have given to some folders and want to change them. Again, the manual shows how to change audio file names, but NOT folder names. I'm assuming folder names are just as important in searching databases correctly as file names, so is it possible to change these in PM?
The only solution I've found to both problems is to create new folders in the finder and cut/past the audio files in PM? Seems kind of ridiculous to have to use two "programs" (finder & PM) just to move/rename folders, thus I wanted to check here first and make sure I'm doing it right. Is there another way
Sorry for the stupid question. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programing...

Hmmmm... this is one of those cans-of-worms situations... The PM has a "move" function, but judging by the menu choices, no "rename" function.
If you went into an individual song and usde the "move audio file(s)" function in the audio window, you could create a new folder (with the name you want) when the file selector opens; then you've save (actually, move) the files into that new folder. Then, re-save your song/project.
The downside to doing this is that other songs (previous versions, backups, etc.) will not find those audio files any longer (because the folder that originally contained those files is now empty). So Logic will invoke the search engine/project manager to find them.
If the PM has been updated, this might not end up being a problem. But unless the names of those audio files have unique names, when you update PM, it will ask you which of the similarly-named files you want to choose to resolve the references for those other songs. It might mean that you spend a bit of time in front of the PM answering dialogs about it.
I think you have to try this out to see if it works well or not.

Delete folders that contain topics?

Hello:
Is it possible to delete folders that contain topics? I have been trying to do this with Project Manager but the delete option is dimmed.
I can delete folders that do not contain topics. The project is on a network. The Clear Project Cache (cpd) option is selected. I also cannot delete folders with topics from a sample project.
Thanks for any advice.
Juliette

Never mind.
I have discovered that I can delete multiple the topics in the Topic List to empty the folder, then delete the folder in Project Manager.
I'm a new-ish user and still have a lot to learn :-)

Group messaging not working with groups that contain non iphone users

I have an Iphone 5 and for some reason I can't send/receive group messages with groups that contain non Iphone users. Basically I recieve single text messages/imessage from each person who responds to the group message. This is incredibly annoying.

Hello, megbu36.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Check to make sure that group messaging is enabled. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on Group messaging.

Dear all,
I just downloaded the now IOS7 on my iPhone4S, the background picture has faded a bit, the folders that contains my icons are solid bright gray and the keyboard is pail/bright gray and I can hardly see it. Is there a way that I can change the colors, the shades, etc? I don't like the new layout, it's too bright and too pale, like the face of a Georgian monarchy. Thank you for your help and support.

I changed the background picture, which is a dark pink flower, now the folders have become solid pink! Not esthetically pleasing

How to deal with query that works like dir or ls

I just can't figure it out how to deal with query that works like dir (Win32) or ls(unix) with special character like '*' and '?' , ex. c:\> dir j*.t?t
Could somebody please tell me?

Here's some code for using a FileFilter for the listFiles() method of the File class:
import java.io.*;
    FileFilter myFileFilter = new MyFileFilter("*.t?t");
    File[] files = File.listFiles(myFileFilter);
class MyFileFilter implements FileFilter {
        private String pattern;
        public MyFileFilter(String pattern) {
            this.pattern = pattern;
        public boolean accept(File file) {
            if (file.isDirectory()) {
                return false;
            if (file.getName() ??matches?? pattern) {
                // you'll have to put the pattern match code here!!
                return true;
            return false;
}maybe someone else can help with the pattern matching!

How can I list all folders that contain files with a specific file extension? I want a list that shows the parent folders of all files with a .nef extension.

not the total path to the folder containing the files but rather just a parent folder one level up of the files.
So file.nef that's in folder 1 that's in folder 2 that's in folder 3... I just want to list folder 1, not 2 or 3 (unless they contain files themselves in their level)

find $HOME -iname '*.nef' 2>/dev/null | awk -F '/' 'seen[$(NF-1)]++ == 0 { print $(NF-1) }'
This will print just one occurrence of directory
The 'find' command files ALL *.nef files under your home directory (aka Folder)
The 2>/dev/null throws away any error messages from things like "permissions denied" on a protected file or directory
The 'awk' command extracts the parent directory and keeps track of whether it has displayed that directory before
-F '/' tells awk to split fields using the / character
NF is an awk variable that contains the number of fields in the current record
NF-1 specifies the parent directory field, as in the last field is the file name and minus one if the parent directory
$(NF-1) extracts the parent directory
seen[] is a context addressable array variable (I choose the name 'seen'). That means I can use text strings as lookup keys. The array is dynamic, so the first time I reference an element, if it doesn't exist, it is created with a nul value.
seen[$(NF-1)] accesses the array element associated with the parent directory.
seen[$(NF-1)]++ The ++ increments the element stored in the array associated with the parent directory key AFTER the value has been fetched for processing. That is to say the original value is preserved (short term) and the value in the array is incremented by 1 for the next time it is accessed.
the == 0 compares the fetched value (which occurred before it was incremented) against 0. The first time a unique parent directory is used to access the array, a new element will be created and its value will be returned as 0 for the seen[$(NF-1)] == 0 comparison.
On the first usage of a unique parent directory the comparison will be TRUE, so the { print $(NF-1) } action will be performed.
After the first use of a unique parent directory name, the seen[$(NF-1)] access will return a value greater than 0, so the comparison will be FALSE and thus the { print $(NF-1)] } action will NOT be performed.
Thus we get just one unique parent directory name no matter how many *.nef files are found. Of course you get only one unique name, even if there are several same named sub-directories but in different paths
You could put this into an Automator workflow using the "Run Shell Script" actions.

Regex with strings that contain non-latin chars

I am having difficulty with a regex when testing for words that contain non-latin characters (specifcally Japanese, I haven't tested other scripts).
My code:
keyword = StringUtil.trim(keyword);
//if(keywords.indexOf(keyword) == -1)
regex = new RegExp("\\b"+keyword+"\\s*;","i");
if(!regex.test(keywords))
{Alert.show('"'+keywords+'" does not contain "'+keyword+'"'); keywords += keyword + "; ";}
Where keyword is
日本国
and keywords is
Chion-in; 知恩院; Lily Pond; Bridge; 納骨堂; Nōkotsu-dō; Asia; Japan; 日本国; Nihon-koku; Kansai region; 関西地方; Kansai-chihō; Kyoto Prefecture; 京都府; Kyōto-fu; Kyoto; Higashiyama-ku; 東山区; Places;
When the function is run, it will alert that keywords does not contain keyword, even though it does:
"Chion-in; 知恩院; Lily Pond; Bridge; 納骨堂; Nōkotsu-dō; Asia; Japan; 日本国; Nihon-koku; Kansai region; 関西地方; Kansai-chihō; Kyoto Prefecture; 京都府; Kyōto-fu; Kyoto; Higashiyama-ku; 東山区; Places; " does not contain "日本国"
Previously I was using indexOf, which doesn't have this problem, but I can't use that since it doesn't match the whole word.
Is this a problem with my regex, is there a modifier I need to add to enable unicode support or something?
Thanks
Dave

Project Management Roadblock with mac

I love my mac! I always have loved my macs. I mainly used my macs for personal which is mostly multimedia world.
For the past 6 months I have kicked my work provided Dell to the curb and am using my mac for everything business related with some snags (most are overcome with work arounds).
After using my mac in the business world I have come to the conclusion Apple needs to come out with an Office of there own.
Sure, the skimpy Microsoft Office is nice (slow) but nice for word, excel and powerpoint but what about the other pieces of Microsoft Office that are not included like Visio and Project. These are key applications that I have not found a very good substitute.
I have tried replacing Project with:
OmniPlan 1.1
ConceptDraw Project 3
FastTrack Project 9
Project X
Merlin 2
Daylite3
All of which are nice for basic project management but some are clumsy, some are nice but not advanced enough.
My current project is to migrate the networks at branches all across the world.
I am given the DayOne date for each branch. DayOne is defined as the day the customers/users come into the office and are using the new network for the very first time. So, its the end date of each milestone.
So working backwards from DayOne (always a Monday)
Task1: 3days prior to DayOne, Begin Migration (Task Length: Friday at 6pm there local time until 5am Monday there local time at the latest)
Task2: 5days prior to DayOne, Send out a FINAL cadence (Task Length: 30minutes and always on a Wednesday at 4pm eastern time)
Task3: 7days prior to DayOne, Verification that everything is set (Task Details: 1hour and always on a Monday at 1pm-2pm eastern time)
Task4: 17days prior to DayOne, Requests are submitted (Task Details: Request/Change Controls are submitted and always on a Friday at 9am est for 1hour)
Task5: 30days prior to Dayone, Submit cadenance is sent to all teams (Task Details: Helps everyone get on same page, done at 3pm est for 30min on Mondays)
Task6: 30days prior to Dayone, Red Team Review of cadenance (Task Details: Review cadenance with all teams, North America version done at 11am every Monday 30+days prior to dayone, Europe version done 30+ days prior to dayone on Thursdays at 8am est)
Task7: 60+days prior to Dayone, Draft Cadenance is emailed (Task Details: Draft cadenance is sent out every Tuesday 60+days out from dayone at 3pm est for 2hours)
A TRUE Project Management software I should be able to create the tasks above and change the DayOne date (as I received these changes) and all Tasks should shift accordingly and they do not (without any limitation). There should also be the possibility to turn on/off the today date restriction (in the case I would like to track tasks that happened in the past).
I would love to see Apple create an Office suite that does Office right. No limits... shoot for Pluto.

Hi Countrymac,
A couple of suggestions:
For Project Management, take a look at the package iTaskX - at first glance it looks promising - it includes effective task linking like end-to-start, start-to-start etc., and it seems intuitive (at least at my first glimpse). A no-cost trial version (no file saving or printing) is available for downloading at:
http://shareit.com/product.html?cart=1&productid=300022429&affiliateid=200003270
For an Office suite try NeoOffice, the (shareware) open source product adapted especially for the Mac from the also open source "Open Office". Download and further info is available at:
http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/download.php#requirements
Hope that helps! Cheers

P3 Project Manager Crashing with EBDClient error, when refreshing (F5)

My company has 3 sql databases for Prima on a server; 2 are approximately 1.5GB, and the third is just over 2GB
We have 5 client machines (xp sp3 32bit), that use the following setup:

Cfdirectory action=list not working with directories that contain an ampersand

Our IT group just upgraded one of the our file share servers from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2. We quickly noticed a problem with CFDIRECTORY listing the contents of directories that contain an ampersand (e.g. //192.168.1.10/Simon & Garfunkel/). We are using ColdFusion 10 Update11 on Windows Sever 2012 R2 and everything worked fine prior to this upgrade. In addition, we created the same directory locally and tried running CFDIRECTORY and the same problem occurred. The cfm page doesn't crash or report an exception in the log, it just doesn't return any results. Thanks in advance for help on this issue.

Thanks Adam, I just found the problem. I think it was a
problem in the database, though I'm not sure why it works on the
development and not on the production. The field that I pull the
"thename" value from is a type varchar(10) and when cfoutputted
like this [#thename#] it would result in [O MAN], however I tried
outputting it into a textbox field and it showed [O MAN ] (<---
actually "O MAN" followed by 5 spaces). The value was padded to ten
characters. I'm baffled. Varchar is supposed to be variable width
only using the number of actual characters without padding, right?
Of my own folly I was trimming the results of the #thename#
#codeno# pair and not thename itself. Once I set thename to
trim(thename) it worked, of course. I'm still very confused why
this works in the development environment and not in production,
and to why the padding to begin with. But, I will not borrow any
more trouble and just be happy it is resolved!
Thanks for all your help!

Can someone please tell me how iPhoto deals with folders?

.. or direct me to an Apple paper on the subject.
I have recently come over from Windows where my photo library of 7,000 photos organised under Photoshop Elements simply seemed to have the photos in a single folder. Now I see there are original, data and modified folders all holding more or less equal quantities of files by year. What's going on? If I wanted to use another program to manage the photos such as Aperture or Lightroom would it be able to cope with all this?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
Yes you can integrate your iPhoto Library with external editors and other apps. In the case of editors you can set them so that when you double click a pic in the iPhoto Window it opens automatically in the editor or your choice, and saving in the editor again automatically saves the pic back into iPhoto.
In the case of Aperture you can import an iPhoto library straight into Aperture, iPhoto can also read Aperture libraries. I'm not sure about Lightroom.
If you're concerned with finding pics, remember that it all can be done via the iPhoto Window - the is simply never a need to go into the Folders in the iPhoto Library Folder. There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Rolls in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
So, not quite a complicated as it seems at first.

Indesign unable to open a file with name that contains letters "ä" and "ö"

Hi, I just updated indesign and it seems it lost the ability to open files that have letters "ä" and "ö" in the file name.
After I renamed the files, they were opened fine.
Error I get is: "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application"
Hope this will be fixed, many languages contain those letters.
Edit: Indesign CS5.5 Version: 7.5.3

Sorry for the lack of details
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
OS Language: Finnish
Indesign language: English
Procedure where this problem appears:
- Drag and drop a file (no matter what extension).
- Place a file.
File name in question: EtsiväNuorisotyö_juliste_A3_PRINT.pdf
Also tried with different file formats: EPS and JPG.
File works when renamed "ä" to "a" and "ö" to "o".
Also tried placing and drag and drop after I copied the files from network drive to desktop, same result.

Trouble with links that contain %2C (comma) in url

I have a friend that uploaded some files to a site for her students to click on and download. They're mp3 files of classical music, many of which contain commas in their filenames.
When uploading them, the site escapes these commas by replacing them with a "%2C". For example the file "john,paul,george,andringo.mp3" would appear as "john%2Cpaul%2Cgeorge%2Candringo.mp3".
It seems that by doing so, Safari is unable to parse the link properly and truncates the link after "john".
Has anyone else noticed this issue? Issue noticed on Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3).
I tried this on Camino and Firefox, and they are able to parse this link correctly, but not Safari.
(Clearly, the quick fix is to rename these files without commas, but I figure this is worth bringing up on this forum.)
2.16Ghz 17" Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.8GHz Power Mac G5

It always pays to name any Web based files without using any punctuation.
FTP servers don't like them and browser based links don't always get "translated" properly.
Jane's New CD of Music.mp3 should be:
janesnew_cd_ofmusic.mp3
Avoid this common problem by using "Web safe" naming schemes. Avoid any illegal characters, punctuation or spaces between names.
