Rename attachments when saving them all

Hello,
I'm currently migrating from entourage to Mail.app and I was wondering if it is possible to rename attachments when saving them. I know this is possible when you save each attachments separately but when you chose 'save all', you can only select a location for all attachments and not rename them separately, like in Entourage.
Does someone know a trick to achieve this?
Thanks,
Stikkos

Illustrator renaming files when saving

I am working in Illustrator CS2 on a PC. When I open a .ai file that I created, work a bit and save again, my files are being renamed. Example: My original file that was named "planning details.ai" gets renamed to "PLANNI~5.ai."
Why is this happening? Thanks!

What you are describing is an OS issue. Or possibly a DOS issue (Even though they say it no longer exists, ha). The first name is a long file name and the second is a short file name.
The short file name is used if you are using an FAT formated drive. An option is enabled in windows to use short file names only. Another possiblity is a portion of your Table on the hard drive is corrupted.
The Fat table can be changed using a utility in windows that converts FAT to NTFS or Formatting the drive, that is assuming the drive can be changed. Some drives like flash drives for a camera may be required to stay as a FAT drive for the camera to work correctly.
The option for enabling short filenames may no longer be available. Windows use to have a place to change settings when issues come up to rule out the cause. Its possible that during Windows 98 to Windows ME it got phased out. I did not see it in Windows XP but then again quite a few options are now hidden. So if you did not change it yourself odds are you can rule out this theory.
As far as a corrupt NTFS Table goes it might be as simple as using chkdsk.exe or as bad as formating the drive. Odds are you would notice this issue when saving any or all new documents and reading a directory (folder) may show jibbersh or the short filenames only.
The tell tale sign of a short file name is the length of the name which is a maximum of 8 characters, plus the period, then the 3 character extention. If the long file name exceeds the limit of the short file name, a ~ character is used just before the period and the extention is trunicated to the first three characters after the period. Also the short file name can only use alphanumeric characters.
Hopefully this helps some. I do not think there is an option in Illustrator for determining which filename type to use. As this is usually left up to the OS.
Good luck...

Renaming attachments before forwarding them

I am a new owner of a Mac mini finding my way around the Apple operating system after years of using Windows PCs. Have managed to get to grips with most things but this one is puzzling me:
My wife has been sent an e-mail from a colleague containing an attachment. She can open and read the attachment ok (it's a .docx document) but wishes to rename it before saving it and/or forwarding it on to other recipients. However, when we try to change the file name we get repeated messages that it cannot be renamed as "permission has been denied".
Surely we are allowed to name documents whatever we choose to fit in with whatever filing or archiving preferences we have? The original name given to this document by the person who sent it to us won't mean anything to us once it's amongst hundreds of others and we're trying to retrieve it.
Thanks in anticipation of your help...

Tampering with an attachment's name gets into the guts of how Apple stores email attachments, etc. You should not go there.
Instead, the way to do this is to save the attachment. In Apple's mail, if you look toward the upper right, you should see a "Save" button.
Once you save it, the file with the attachment's name will be saved to your Downloads folder. There you can indeed change its name. Simply click on the existing name (to the left of the .DOCX part, if you want to keep that) and you'll see the file's name will become writeable. Change it and use that in the future.
To restate somewhat differently, email attachments are kept in Apple's library and are not intended for us to meddle with. That way, when you delete the message, the attachments will be correctly associated and deleted as well. But first you would download the attachment, then it's properties are under your purview.

Retrieving B2B attachments and saving them to a UCM server

Hi,
I have a requirement in which a BPEL receives a B2B message with attachments and saves the attachments in a UCM server.
How can it be done in a BPEL? My BPEL receives a B2B message with attachmetns, the attachment element looks like
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<Attachments xmlns="http://integration.oracle.com/B2B/Attachments">
<Attachment href="9f4c4afad5675d06:7ad8666a:11dbc3402a6:-7ff6"/>
</Attachments>
How can I get access to the inputStream of the attachments in the BPEL so that they can be saved on a UCM server.
Thanks,
Anil

Anil,
You may use following XPATH functions within your BPEL component to read the attachment content-
ora:getAttachmentContent
ora:writeBinaryToFile

I would like to open attachments without saving them. Is there a way to do that in Firefox like in IE ?

It is nice to open an attachment without saving it to a specific location. I am used to doing this with Internet Explorer. However,
it does not seem that I can do that with Firefox. Is that true or am I missing something ?

Goto Options > Applications > Click on 'Action' of the file that you want to change the properties of to: Save File/Always Ask or choose a program to open it with.
Click OK to save.

Cant choose file type for images when saving them from a website.

Any time I try to save an an image with "Right Click > Save as" the little dropdown bar that shows what file it will save as is completely blank. I dont get this problem with IE, just Firefox. I dont want to use IE again. Help me please

I'm stumped. The global setting really should be global.
(By global setting I mean:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > General > "Save files to")
I can't think of a reason that Firefox would ignore that setting just for image files if there isn't some inconsistent instruction in the Application settings.
My only other thought would be an interfering add-on. You could test in Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether that is an issue.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, use Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled to restart Firefox's
[https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Ignore the checkboxes and click Continue in Safe Mode. (Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.)
If the problem site(s) work, then most likely one of your add-ons has changed Firefox's normal download behavior.

Images Automatically Reduced in Resolution When Saved as PDF

I created images in Photoshop and saved them all at 300 ppi in JPEGs. I inserted the JPEG images into an MS Word 2007 document. I then saved the document as an Acrobat file. In the resulting PDF file, all the images are at about 150 ppi. I have no idea why. Can someone tell me how to produce a pdf in which the images are at the original 300 ppi?
Thank you. GeePapa

Hi Eugene
I am using visFixedFormatPDF, visDocExIntentPrint, and visPrintAll, but there is no improvement in the resolution of the PDF.
The Type.Missing value can only be used for the last parameter. The other parameters require either bool or int, so I get compile errors if I try to use Type.Missing.
I also notice the reduction of resolution in Visio 2013 only applies to bitmap images copied into the Visio file. Lines and shapes drawn in Visio still looks fine. I am getting this problem even if I simply select the Save As menu option and select PDF,
so this problem could be independent of office.interop.
Is there something I can do to avoid the degradation of resolution of bitmaps in Visio 2013? Everything is fine in Visio 2010.

Tables dropping out when saving PDF files

I have saved a document through writing to PDF in the Print dialog and also by exporting as PDF, but with the same results. In a 40 page document 3 of the tables get dropped out when saving so all I get is blank space where they should be.
Perhaps related is an interesting printing problem. When I print the entire document these same three tables are missing. But if I go back and print only the pages they appear on then the tables will print.
Any suggestions?

Happens with a Konika-Minolta Magicolor, a Brother 1470-N and an HP Laserjet.

How can I rename files when importing?

Is there a way to rename files when importing them? Every method I've tried retains the original file name the camera assigns (e.g. DSC_0001). I'd like the ability to rename the files automatically either with a date or event name with sequential numbering following.
Thanks!

First you will have to upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop where you can batch rename them before importing into iPhoto. That's a safer workflow IMO because you can make sure the photos are safely on the hard drive before starting any other operation.

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download. Is there a way to save my tabs ?

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

When saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. How can I fix this?

when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?

Hi John
I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help.

How to see all image types when saving an image without selecting "all files"every time

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/951766]]</blockquote>
Hallo, and thank you for reading this.
I am a person who saves a lot of images online and renames them in different folders in different names like B - 34 or G - 56. I have been working with firefox 10 for quite some time and it had a pretty handy bug (I guess) where I could save an image and firefox would just save the image in it's original type (JPEG,PNG etc) while "save as type" was empty.
It also always has shown all the image types in the folder where I save the images (except for GIF) and that helpes me quite a lot by saving me the trouble of selecting "all files" every time I save or going to the folder to rename every image.
Now this seems to be lacking in the newest firefox versions and my question is if I can set firefox to always show me all the image file types when saving an image, instead of only showing JPEG's when I try to save a JPEG.
Thank you for your time.

I suspect this is a Windows problem. I am surmising the FilePicker uses the Operating System or Desktop facilities. Does Windows 7 offer any other file categories like ''images'' ?
I do not normally use Windows 7, but may the option depend upon the directory being an indexed one, I ask after finding this thread ''Bring File types tab back'' [http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/819]
This question is a duplicate of [/questions/951764]
Normally I would lock the duplicate question, but in this instance I will leave it open as it is unanswered and someone may give a better reply.

Renaming when saving new documents

I have a Powerbook G4, plenty of Hardrive space left, 512 Ram. Have had no problems for two years, now suddenly whenever I open a new file (could be Illustrator CS, Indesign CS, Word, Flash etc), I go to save file and name it, all looks fine, but when I go to find the file again it has renamed it, generally 'Address book.zip'. The file opens like normal into the progam created in, but with this name. Occasionally it renames it with a random name, but generally it's 'Address book.zip'.?? I'm getting a little tired of finding my files after I have saved them, and re-naming them with the correct names. (Once I've opened the file through Harddrive, and rename they are fine).
This is very weird? It happens probably generally every 3-4th time I save. Can anyone help??

HT201302 I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer. Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer. Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported. If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.

HT4236 Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!

Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!

When viewing an album on the iPhone you can tap "Photos" at the bottom and that will show all photos by date. Unfortunately though it is all photos, not just the album you are currently viewing.
What I have done is the following. On the computer I have a main folder (e.g. iPhone photos) and then make sub-folders within that. Placing photos that will be synched to the iPhone into various subfolders gives quite a bit of organizational capablility. In iTunes when you select the main folder to sync, the sub-folders will show on the iPhone as separate albums. Beyond that, in one case where I really wanted a specific sort within an album I renamed the photos on the computer (something like A-picxxx, B-picxxx) so they sorted on the computer alphabetically in the order I want on the phone. That sort order was maintained after the sync.
Note that each time you sync using iTunes, the non-Camera Roll pictures on the phone will be set to match the current iTunes settings/photos -- so you can experiment.
