Recreate iMovie file paths?

Hey, I'm in a really annoying situation here:
I've been creating like 10 hours of iMovie-films some weeks ago. I've had all movie- and image-files in iPhoto a library on an external drive.
This has been working great until my external drive crashed just lately (for some unknown reason).
Now luckily I did back-up the iPhoto library so nothing was lost really. I put the library on a new drive and tried to continue my work in iMovie...
...All movies are now marked with the yellow triangle and and exclamation mark - the link to the movie-files are obviously broken. A couple of hours in the Swedish Apple-support made me understand that iMovie's missing the feature "repair link" so they thought that all my work might be lost (???)...
Is it possible, in some way, to repair theese links by renaming a new external hard drive to the same name as the one before and put an identical iPhoto-library with the same name in the same directory.
Shouldn't that solve the problem? I don't know though how to find out exactly where theese broken movie-links are pointing... Not sure what the name of my former drive was.
Does someone know a solution to this problem? Feel free to ask, not sure if all of this makes sense...
Thanks,
Stefan

Thanks, awesome! Didn't think of opening the file "Project" with the texteditor - in there all the incorrect paths were written out and when I just put the library in a certain directory and renamed my volume it worked again kinda smoothly
Needed to open the library in iPhoto to get it working again since the path in the album info XML file of each library is updated every time its loaded I guess..
Thanks again
Stefan

XsltCollaboration code file path exceeds 255 characters

All,
I'm trying to build a Deployment Profile for a CAPS project containing an XSLT Collaboration Definition. I managed to build the Deployment Profile previously with persistence turned off. After turning on persistence (Persistence for Reporting set to 'Yes' on the only Business Process in the project) and re-building the Deployment Profile I was greeted with an Exception dialog containing the following:
com.stc.codegen.framework.model.CodeGenException: code generation error at = svcXCDXform - XCE CodeGen
XsltCollaboration code file path
C:\DOCUME~1\DAMIAN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\builds\prjBPXformdpBPXform\svcXCDXform_ejb\xcdXform_Runtime_Handler.java
exceeds 255 characters. Shorten XsltCollaboration name or recreate Connectivity Map with shorter name to solve this problemI don't think turning persistence on has anything to do with this error but mentioned it because that was the only change I made before re-building. Can anyone shed some light on why CodeGen is building in my local temp folder and not the Path which I have set in the Enterprise Designer | Build Options? Is this a completely different path?
FYI - I am using Java CAPS 5.1.2.
Thanks,
Damian

Change the Windows Environment Variables for the Temp folders to something like C:\TMP
Not sure but i've noticed that the folder specified for CODEGEN_LOCATION is ignored in older versions of JCAPS.

"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)

Hi all,
I have an iMovie project in iMovie HD 6.0.3. (Mac OS 10.5.8)
It plays, but I cannot copy the file (including saving it to a flash drive). I get either a message
"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of
iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)" or the
message "A project file is missing. The file [name of the QuickTime
movie inside the project.dv] couldn't be opened and is being skipped."
This happened suddenly, I was able to save a backup version numerous
times while working on the project.
I followed some of Karl Petersen's advise on apple discussions. I opened
the package contents, and everything seems to be there. The source file
(original QuickTime movie) is there and can be opened and played. I
replaced the current project file with the backup in the package
contents, but that did not change anything. I was able to export the
movie timeline into a new project as a single clip, but would like to be
able to copy the current project.
Thanks for any ideas..

Make sure all drives are formatted as "Mac OS Extended". (Journalling preferred, but not necessary).

Search c:\ drive and return file path for winword.exe and save as variable

Hi all, here is what I'm trying to do;
1. Search C:\ drive for winword.exe
2. take the file path and save it as a variable.
3. Then based on the path value, use the switch statement to run "some command"
Essentially I'm trying to find what the file path for winword.exe is, then run a command to modify the registry. I already have the script that will modify the registry like I want but the problem it, the path is hard coded in the script, I want to
now look for all versions of word and set the right file path so I can make the right registry changes.

What is a Logical and Physical file path in sap?

what is a Logical and Physical file path in sap?

Hi,
Physical file is what you see from the OS level.
Logical file is what ABAP code can call certain functions to read/write.
Transaction FILE would link them together. Typically the logical path ends with "<FILENAME>", and the logical file refers to the logical path.
To extract the physical path from the logical path name
DATA: lf_mandt TYPE sy-mandt,
        lf_opsys TYPE sy-opsys.
lf_mandt = sy-mandt.
lf_opsys = sy-opsys.
To extract the physical path from the logical path name
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      client           = lf_mandt
      logical_filename = p_unix
      operating_system = lf_opsys
    IMPORTING
      file_name        = gwa_input
    EXCEPTIONS
      file_not_found   = 1
      OTHERS           = 2.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
Concatenating the physical path and the input unix file name
    CONCATENATE gwa_input p_file INTO gf_file .

Inserting file path/filename

Hi, all out there,
I've just strated using Pages '08, and exploring it. But Pages Help and User Guide do not tell me how to insert the file path or filename in the footer, so that it's automatically updated whenever changed. It's not in the Insert menu, and cannot find it in Insert > Function.

Hi Peggy,
Though that feature is useful isn't found in 10.4.10. The Devon Technologies WordService ReadMe file has the following:
Insert:
Contents Of Path
Inserts files and folders of the selected path (tilde is expanded)
and of all its subdirectories (e.g. select the path '~/' and this function
will insert all contents of your home directory)
Short Date Cmd-'{'
Inserts the current date (no text selection necessary)
Long Date Cmd-'}'
Inserts the current date (no text selection necessary)
Short Date & Time Cmd-'_'
Insert the current date & time (no text selection necessary) Long Date & Time Cmd-'%'
Insert the current date & time (no text selection necessary) Time
Insert the current time (no text selection necessary)
Maybe that's what you're seeing in your services menu perhaps.
Sincerely,
RicD

How to get a list of file paths for all files used in a project

I have a project in Premiere Pro CC which has a large number of bins. A sequence in one of these bins uses files from other bins. I am trying to find the locations of all each of the files used in the project.
1) Obviously I can select each clip in the timeline and show in finder, but there a lot of clips
2) The video usage associated with each file in the project would help. However
1. I haven't found a way to display only clips that have video useage if all of the bins have not been expanded.
2. Video usage shows usage for all sequences, so one would have to manually check the pull down for each file to see if it is used in the sequence in question.
3) I tried exporting the project to final cut pro xml. The path url gives me the information that I need. For some reason, however, when I do the export only one clip's information is there, not the information for all of the other clips in the project.
4) I tired an export for speedgrade and all of the file names are there. However the paths are not.
Basically I want to find all of the files in the project and relocate them to a specific folder for that project. There's got to be a way to do this but I'm not seeing it ....

Thanks for the suggestion concerning the file path. And certainly it would have been nice to have done this before beginning. However this is a project that has been around for quite a while, and the files have been moved into different bins. And now the project sequence is being revised.
So the problem is, worded slightly differently, how can I search all of the bins for the files that are used just by this sequence, ignoring the files which are used by other sequences? Or, how can I get a list of the file paths of the files that are used in the sequence?

You need to configure your config directory before you deploy. If you never configured v2 listener before then create a new folder like "c:\apex\config". Then use
java -jar apex.war configdir c:\apex\config
Then do your configuration as required and then deploy again.

How to get the file path in adf application

hii all,
i have a txt file that i am using in my adf application,
i am passing this txt file through a File Reader, for which i have to mention the file path.
The file is in web-content and when i am hard coding the complete file path i.e C:/JDeveloper/myApp/ViewController/public_html/log.txt
the application is working fine when run on integrated weblogic server.
My requirement is to access this file without giving the static file path, as in case i have to use this application on any other machine..
for that how to mention the file path-
i tried using FacesContext to get the context path :-
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestContextPath();
which gives me
\myApp-ViewController-context-root
after appending public_html\log.txt
I am using the following path to access the file :-
\myApp-ViewController-context-root\public_html\log.txt
again i am getting the java.io.FileNotFoundException
Does anyone know how to use file from inside the web-content without giving the complete path..???
Thanks

Hi,
If you put your file under public_html folder, you can use this code to access the file:
For example file is : log.txt
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath('/log.txt').toString().trim();
Thanks.

Can't find imovie file on my hard drive

I have a imovie file on my hard drive that I can't find. I really want to delete it so
that I can free up some room on my hard rive. It's at least 15 gigs big. I tried using the search icon in the upper right hand corner and I tried using the 'find' option under the 'finder' menu, searching for any files over 5 gigs in size. Can anyone help me find this file so I can get rid of it?

An iMovie project is a package, not a file; the actual files inside it are smaller. Use a tool such as WhatSize to locate it.

Error message: "Can't open file "[File path, file name].key"

If I attempt to open any Keynote files, I now get this error message.
"Can't open file "[File path: file name].key"
To clarify, the text in the square brackets above would be the file path and then the file name.
The file then will appear on the screen, but is unresponsive to any clicks or menu commands.
The files will open successfully on other Macs, so they aren't corrupt.
Also - I've just checked, and opening Keynote and trying to create a new presentation leads to the same problem: All screen menus / buttons are dead - all I can do is drag the window around the screen.
I've tried to reinstall Keynote, but this hasn't resolved the problem.
Is there some corrupt preference file (or similar) that I need to get rid of? Is there an easy way to do a complete uninstall of Keynote so I can try another install? Or is this a symptom of something else?
All ideas gratefully appreciated!

All the issues I describe in my questions around this time re: Keynote were actually symptoms of a soon-to-die laptop. The Hard Disc was corrupting, and Keynote was the first application to be affected.

How to Print File Path and File Name at the bottom of the Report?

Hi guys,
I have situation where i have to display my file path where i save my file. For example: U:\Reports\Monthly_Reports\Compay_xyz.jsp
also, after the file path line if its possible i would like to display the date where the last modification done on the file.
I read one of the post and some one suggested that use srw.get_report_name() but since i am a new to Reporting i am not sure how to use it.
Can anyone describe me little bit in detail please?
Thank You.

Hi,
Your logic seems to be fine and you should put it in the additional plsql code section "After displaying the page". But you may have to check you syntax by compiling it. You cannot use "LINEFEED". It should be '<br>'. This is the line break in html. Please check your type declaration. Also some ';' is missing after some statements.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila
