Remove the word alias from Aliases when moving to a specific folder?

Title says it all. I am looking for a script to add to folder actions so that when I move an alias to a certain folder it removes the word alias from the end of it.

Hi Spectre
try the below
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving (added_items)
tell application "Finder"
set _files to (files of this_folder whose name ends with "alias")
repeat with _file in _files
set _name to name of _file
set name of _file to (characters 1 thru -6 of _name as text)
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to

  • Is there a way to remove the size and position readout when moving Lines in Keynote?

    When moving the endpoints of lines while creating a presentation, a size and position readout appears on the screen. This obscures details below it, often making it difficult to precisely position a line. Is there a way of disabling this? The option in Preferences for disabling this readout for objects does not work for lines. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

    I will tell him about that, but I don't think that would be it if that is related to animation.
    We're talking about the wallpaper background that get blurry during the phone screens like http://www.tekrevue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130923_ios7emergencycallfla w.jpg (left side) and http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/09/20/ChangingYourTheme.png ... You can see there are background images that got blurred out.

  • How to remove the account name from header when printing emails

    In outlook 2007 using Exchange Server 2007 users wishing to print an email using memo style have a header consisting of the account user's full name and a bold line under it, then the friendly email headers and body. Is there a way to remove/configure
    the memo style header?
    Marc

    Hi Marc,
    Unfortunately, there is no way in Outlook to change or remove the name or message header which is being displayed at the top of a printed message. It is tied to the Display Name of your email account which you can’t modify yourself for an Exchange account.

  • I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

    I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

    Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
    When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
    Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest. 
    You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
    So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit. 
    You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:

    I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

  • When attempting to remove the Filmconvert plugin from my machine I noticed my adobe\common\plug-ins\CS5.5\MediaCore folder had Vanished !

    When attempting to remove the Filmconvert plugin from my machine I noticed my adobe>common>plug-ins>CS5.5>MediaCore folder had vanished ! and there was also no folder for my cc version at all ? so digging deeper i noticed a large amount of my after effects plugins were installed separately in my applications folder ! I m very confused as to how this has happened and was wondering if anything like this had happened to any1 else ? and how to get everything back to normal ?
    Im now worried theres something wrong with my bios on my Mac and i don't no why my plug-ins would have vanished from where they should be installed? as they still work fine in the actual software itself.

    If you are on a Mac the Library folder is hidden. You have to jump through some hoops to get there.

  • How stop PS6 from removing the DPI value from an image when using "save for the web"?

    How stop PS6 from removing the DPI-value from an image when using "save for the web"?
    Example:
    - Open a tif image, that contains a dpi value (resolution).
    - Use the splice tool in PS6.
    - Export the slices with "Save for web", as gif-files.
    Then the dpi value is removed, the gif files has no dpi value (it's empty).
    How can we stop PS6 from removing the dpi value when using "save for web"?
    OR:
    When using the slice tool, how can we save the sliced pieces without PS removing the dpi value?

    you can make your art go a little bit over the bounds. or you can make sure your artboart and art edges align to pixels

  • TS1702 Please I can not remove the viber icon from my iPhone 4s as it is a gray icon and have the word "waiting" under it and if I press long to have the (x) to delete it the (x) will not appear

    Please I can not remove the viber icon from my iPhone 4s as it is a gray icon and have the word "waiting" under it and if I press long to have the (x) to delete it the (x) will not appear

    Will it let you delete it on the phone now? If it still shows waiting, just tap it once on the app itself and it should download the rest  of the way. Do it while your on wifi tho.

  • How to remove the words such as the, is , are, and or  from text file

    my problem is
    i want to make an application to do that
    eceives a test file from the user, this file contains a list of words , the program must do the following
    1- Remove the words such as the, is , are, and or
    2- Count the number of occurrences of each word
    3- Display a two column message, the first column contains a word and the second column contains the number of repetitions of this word
    i make number 2 and 3 how can i do number 1

    I would accumulate word frequency in a Map<String, Integer> -- is that what you are doing? But before processing a word I would check to see if it is contained in a Set<String> of common words. In which case further processing of the word is not required.

  • Remove the mouseover filename from a PDF document

    I'm trying to generate a PDF using Adobe Acrobat X Pro through the Word 2007 interface.  When I generate my PDF and mouseover an image, the mouseover text displays the filename of the image file (ie mouseover text="ImageFilename.png").  Additionally, some of these aren't even correct (the image filename is actually a previous revision of the image file and not the current file).  I would like to know:
    -What data does Acrobat poll to get these filenames.  I know it isn't the actual filename since some are incorrect, so it must be some data contained in the word document itself?
    -How can I remove this function altogether?  There is no significance to the image filenames and I'd rather not have to ensure they all match the document text.
    I have searched this and other forums but can't find instructions on how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

    I'm not aware of anyway to automatically remove them from the pdf file. You can manually remove each of them but it's always better to treat the source file than to treat the PDF file for changes.
    To keep from seeing them without having to remove them all in Word, just use the "print method" to create the PDF file. Print to the Adobe PDF printer rather than using the Save as Adobe PDF feature.

  • Has anyone removed the screen protector from Otterbox?

    I have the Otterbox on top of Apple's anti-glare screen protector as suggested in this forum. I'm having way too much trouble getting a response out of buttons on the edge of the screen or in the corners. I touch and touch, even press hard but no response. Even getting the phone to snap a picture is near impossible. I have no problems when I remove the Otterbox case, so I know it isn't a screen issue. I love the feel and protection afforded by the Otterbox case and would like to use it. Has anyone removed the screen protector from their case, and if you have, can you comment on the subsequent performance of it? Of note, I use the Otterbox case because I have young kids who use the phone - we don't have a landline. In other words, it's not dust protection I'm looking for, but impact protection. I hate to tear up a $50 case if it won't function anymore.

    I removed the screen protector that was part of the Otterbox case and it now works much better. Still have the Power Support anti-glare screen protector on it. Also removed the small cover over the camera lense and now my pictures are more clear. Finally, I removed the covers over the speakers and I can hear the speakerphone again. These mods made the case an A+ for me. A little less protection but much better functionality.

  • My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this?

    My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this? I have restarted my computer multiple times, **** it down, and ran a diagnostic test to tell me nothing is wrong and my computer is not running any applications. There is no reason for the fan to be on full blast! when I try to set the option to show my battery icon in the menu bar, it will automatically uncheck. How do I fix all of this?

  • I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account?

    I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

    Hey Fabrizio,
    You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
    Do you get the 'download' prompt?
    Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab. 
    Please try the same using a different browser and check.
    Hope to hear from you.
