Rename file automatically when moving

How can I rename a file automatically when moving a file from one folder to another when there is a file with the same name in the other folder?

you can't do it automatically. you need to rename it before you move it.

How do i have adobe X pro encrypt word files automatically when created.

how do i have adobe X pro encrypt word files automatically when created

Hi sbuckton,
Sure, you can encrypt your document while converting it. However you will have to use your Microsoft office for that.
Please refer to the above screenshot & follow the steps :-
1) Open Microsoft word with your word file.
2) Click on the 'Acrobat' tab on the top.
3) Then choose the Create PDF option form below.
4) A pop up window will appear asking you to save the file as PDF, however before saving the file click on the 'Restrict Editing' option.
5) Again a pop up window will come up on your screen, you can choose for the Encryption method & password protection option in order to secure the document.
6) Once done, Save the file.
In case if you still experience any issue please let us know.

Why does photoshop automatically rename file names when using save for web?

All of a sudden when choosing Save for Web, when i type in a name for my file in the File Name: dialog box, when you click "save", it saves the selected slices as the name of the document and not what i typed.
For example: My psd file is called "website header" and i want to save the slices with the name "index". If i save slice-02 or slice-06 it will save as "index_02.jpg" but if i choose slice 01, it will save as "website-header_01"

Check your settings in the SfW output options and yopur slice names in PS itself.

Flash file breaks when moved to PC

I created several flash files on a Mac using Flash CS3 and then recently moved them to my PC. I tried to open them up on the PC and when I run the code, my .load no longer works. It doesn't make any sense because the AS should work the same no matter what. I also no longer have assess to my Mac, so I can't go back and change anything.
My codes goes a little like this:
testingXML = new XML ();
testingXML.onLoad = loadingAction;
testingXML.load ("http://www.google.com");
Thanks!

In my case, this exception was due to a defect in some timeout code I'd written. I didn't want to wait forever for the command to complete, so after an appropriate amount of time, the code would destroy the process. That invalidated the data streams however, causing the bad file number exception in the reader threads.
So you may look for ways in which the executed process might be getting destroyed.

RH9 crash and files deleted when moving/deleting content in Project Manager pod

Hello,
I've had an ongoing issue, across RH 8 and 9, with trying to manage my content using the Project Manager pod. The issue has occurred w/ two basic processes: creating new folder structures in PM and then moving files from one folder to another; deleting files from the project entirely.
The outcome is that RH crashes w/ a generic "RoboHelp has encountered a problem" error message, and one or more topics are deleted from the project entirely. If the topic is in the TOC, the placeholder is still there, but it's not connected to any topic.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is this a known bug and/or is there a suggested fix?
Thanks in advance,
-Jerod

It looks like it could be the same issue.

Project files location when moving from one PC to another

Hi - I hope this isn't t
oo silly a question but I have started a project at one location and I am now going to our overseas office for a month and will need to
work on the project on another PC while I am there. I am a little confused as to where I look to put all the files I need on
to a USB stick so I can load them over in the US office. Where do the video files,titles and any stills get stored for a project?
Thanks for any help

Steve,
Thanks for the mention of the Project Archiver. As I normally set up Projects on externals, in anticipation of migrating them between my computers, I had just not thought to mention that. The OP will benefit from that tip!
One thing for the OP to remember is that many systems will not boot properly, if a thumbdrive is attached first. Many USB devices get in the way, if plugged in and turned on, prior to boot up. My Epson printer MUST be turned OFF, or my laptop will not boot. Many have had the same thing happen with most thumbdrives too.
Appreciated,
Hunt

Files lost when moving from HD to external HD

I understand that this is a bug (http://www.macintouch.com/leopard/movebug.html) that effects Leopard but it has happened to me using tiger.
I have run Data Rescue2 and it has recovered many files but none of the 200 or so that I lost.
Does anyone have an idea what I could do next?
I'm a complete layman, all the above was suggested to me by someone more knowledgeable. So please, if you do have a answer, explain it simply.
Thank you very much in advance.

I have run Data Rescue2 and it has recovered many files but none of the 200 or so that I lost.
Then the space those files took up on the HD were written over. DR2 is very good, especially if you used the Thorough Scan, if it can't find them then we're talking really big bucks & resources to recover them... if at all.
What happens is that once those files are no longer in the Trash, the OS gets to use those Sectors to write New or temp files to, and just booting up off the same drive can overwrite the Freed Space.

Key repeat issues when renaming files

I am having trouble with the cursor arrow key repeating when renaming files. When I press and hold the left or right arrows while renaming in Cover Flow view, it starts scrolling through the files instead of moving the cursor through the filename.
This also seems to happen when renaming files on an attached USB device. Instead of moving the cursor it moves the file selection bar after a few cursor repeat actions.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a fix?

This has been bugging me too. I noticed it right back when Leopard was still 10.5.0 and thought they would have at least acknowledged it by now. In coverflow view, the files scroll across the covers, in list mode the folder tree collapses if you hold the left arrow key. And another annoying thing Leopard does is that when you're renaming, if any file in that folder changes, it abandons the rename instead of continuing, making your keystrokes move up and down the list of files without warning.

Is there way to have Numbers open excel files automatically

Is there way to have Numbers open excel files automatically when I click on my old excel files rather than opening numbers and then opening file?

Try this: from Finder, select an Excel file. Hit Apple-i to get the file info. You'll see a section labeled *Open with:* Use the dropdown to select Numbers and click the *Change All* button.

Generated files do not rename automatically when doing save book as

I'm using FM8. Inside of your book, generated files are suppose to rename to your book name automatically when you do a "save book as", the filenames are not changing, does anyone know why this is and what the solution is?

Is it the actual physical filename of the existing generated files or the filenames as shown in the book file that you are referring to as not changing?
FM doesn't rename the actual existing files, instead it expects the book to be regenerated at which point it will create the new generated files.

ML Automatically sorts files by name when moving from one folder to another.

Hello, i usually used to move a bunch of files like images or mp3s from one folder to another and in Lion, when moving like 20+ files to another folder, they was being placed where you clicked.
Seems that in ML when i move the same amount of same files, rather than placing them at the cursor, it just moves them and sorts by name. How to avoid this?

Cannot rename file with non-ASCII characters when using the

My application moves files from one directory to another by calling File[] srcFiles = srcDir.listFiles() to get a list of files in the source directory, and then calling srcFiles.renameTo(destFile) to rename each file.
This does not work (renameTo returns false and the file is not moved) under the following circumstances:
- the file's leaf name contains non-ASCII characters, for example "�"
- the OS is Solaris 9
- the LANG and LC_* environment variables are unset, i.e. the C locale is being used
If I set the LANG environment variable to, for example, en_GB.UTF-8 then the rename succeeds.
I have tried calling srcFiles[index].getName().getBytes("UTF-8") and the non-ASCII characters are being replaced with ? (0x3f) characters when LANG is unset.
Is this a bug in the JRE? I would argue that since my code does not actually manipulate the filename (I just use the File object that File.listFiles() gives me) then the rename should succeed. Of course I would not expect the file name to be displayed correctly if I printed it out.
I have reproduced this behaviour with JDK 1.4.2_05 and 1.5.0_04 on Solaris 9.

Thanks for the info Alan.
I considered setting the locale in the environment (this sounds like the "correct" fix to me and we might implement it later), but this application shares a WebLogic server with many other applications so we would have to do a huge amount of testing to make sure that the locale change wouldn't break the other apps. In the end I worked around the problem by making the code that generates the filenames in the first place strip out any non-ASCII characters (the names of the files are not critically important).
Looking forward to JSR-203, in the meantime perhaps a note about this behaviour in the java.io.File javadoc would be useful.

Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?

Like the topic - "Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?"
I installed this OS, and it looks nice, but it's terrible to use. I randomly have the volume controls get disabled, and sometimes the volume menu in the system tray does nothing when adjusted which I've never seen in an OS before. The trash won't empty. When I try to drag and drop newer files over existing ones, nothing happens. The old ones just stay there. I have to delete the old ones and then move the new ones. And when I go into the protected files to manage audio plugins (I make music), the first thing I hit are error codes galore, and password prompts that either don't popup when they should, or don't execute the command after I provide my password.
What can I do now that I installed the flames of **** onto my computer?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

LR4.2 - Error when moving files

I can repeatedly reproduce an error when moving files into folders within LR4.2.
My current folder structure is setup like:
F:\pictures\YEAR\Folder name\Sub folder\
When I'm moving files from "Folder name" to "Sub folder" I will be moving approx 6 - 20 photos at a time when sorting them into sub folders. After a while of moving files, LR will stop allowing you to move files and will show up the O symbol with a line through it. Until you close and re-open LR will it allow you to start moving photos again.
I've had this happen 3 times on me now and is completely reproducible. As above, move a small amount of files from a parent folder into a child folder repeatedly and eventually it will refuse to move any more photos until you restart LR.

Catalog recently optimised with no issues ever experienced with the catalog.

Hi,
I experienced the same problem and error message this morning ...and found that the following steps will resolve the error (at least when using LR 3 on a MAC):
(1) Open LR and rename all the files that you are trying to move by hitting the F2 button, (MAC shortcut)
(2) Look for any images that may have a '?' mark next to them and resolve if required. (The '?' indicates a file 'location' conflict within the catalogue, - ie you may have moved the files around outside of LR)
(3) While still within LR ....highlight all the files that need to be moved ....and drag and drop them into your preferred new location in the usiual way.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Simon

Bridge CS5 closes when moving files

Bridge CS5 abruptly closes when moving files. It does not matter if I drag and drop or if I cut/copy and paste to different folders -- I get the same behavior either way. When I try to move files, I get a Windows dialogue box saying the program has experienced a problem and will close. After Brdige closes and I open it again, the files have been moved. Still, it is a pain to have the program crash everytime I move a file.
I have a new computer with great specs and lots of memory (see below). I did not have this problem before and only began to experience it recently. The only changes since then are that I downloaded a trial version of Adobe Dreamweaver. I found another instance of this problem in the forums and followed the advice of disabling all scripts, but it did not help. What can I do to move files in Bridge?
Computer: Studio XPS 9100
Processor: Intel Core i7-920 processor(8MB L2 Cache, 2.66GHz)
RAM: 12GB DDR3 SDRAM,1333MHZ, 6x2GB
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD5670 1GB GDDR5
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English

I have a computer setup very similar to yours, in fact you have one notch higher ram and video card. It should work. I do use drag and drop sometimes, but almost always use right click and "copy to". It will list the last 10 places you have visited so it is easy to click on the folder (or visit it first). More of a hassle if you have to browse.
I had to add "copy to and move to" to the right click function in Vista and Win7. Check on-line and there is an automatic program that inserts it into the registry. It confident instructions are given to do it manually.
Have no idea why it will not work. Can you drag and drop in Win Exp?
Hope this helps.
