Required to show predefined folder structure inside doccument library

Hi,
I am looking for out of box solution to add predefined folder structure ( folders inside folder) in document library.
Folder1
--subfolder1
--subfolder2
Folder2
Can this be possible via custom content type? If not then can we do this by clicking on Add new?
Thanks, Gurudatt

Hi GurudattKumar,
Based on my knowledge, i think Event Receiver is a possible way to achieve this requirement, we can use that to automatically draw the folder structure when you add a new folder. Here is a link shows the code:

Determining folder sizes inside iPhoto Library Package, eg Originals/2009

In iPhoto '09 is it possible to determine (in an automated fashion) the size of the folders inside the Originals folder inside the iPhoto Library Package.
I'm working on a MacBook Pro with limited space so I wanted to identify the folders that are taking up the most space and try to remove them.
Specifically, I'm looking at the following location:
Originals/2008/...
Originals/2009/...
Those seem to be the largest folders, so removing some of the largest ones will really help for a trip I have coming up.
Thanks for the insights.

Thanks for the info on DiskInventoryX. Unfortunately it cannot look inside of the iPhoto Library Package, so I guess I need to keep looking into the true format of a package... Is a package similar to a tgz file?
It is unfortunate that the Mac doesn't automatically list the size of the contents of folders in the finder. Having that information listed in the finder would be very beneficial...
Since it sounds like iPhoto is so sensitive about folder structure modifications and does not have the ability to adapt to changes, I may need to look into another program that is a bit more forgiving for working with large numbers of photographs that are only temporarily on the MacBook Pro before being moved over to the Desktop. My workflow requires that most photos and videos are temporarily stored and worked on the MacBook Pro and then (a few weeks over) moved off and over to a desktop for permanent storage and further editing.
Thanks again for all the thoughts and insights, as it is much appreciated...

Routing from Drop Off library - How to maintain same folder structure in target library after routing

Hello,
After routing from drop off library to other target library, how can I maintain folder structure dynamically.
For example
Inside Drop off library user creates folder on monthly basis
1. Drop Off > Feb > Document 1
2. Drop Off > March > Document 1
Now after routing i want to have same folder structure created inside target library. So target should library look like
Target Lib > Feb > Document 1
Target Lib > March > Document 1
Please Note - folder creation in drop off library happens every month, and user can choose any Name for these folders, so here I can not consider Static Routing rules.
Kindly help me out.
Thanks!!!
Mayank Nigam

The content organizer can't do that. If you really need this functionality, you'll need a workflow to do it. But you also need to consider if the use of folders per month is really what you want here. Maybe you'd prefer to use metadata instead of folders
for grouping.

Show tree folder structure of file system directory

Hi,
I am new to flex.
I am using AS3
I am creating web application.
I want to show the tree directory structure of the file system similar to what we seen in applet.
Is there any component in flex, which will do that?
Can it be possible in web application?
Thanks,

Hi,
Use the FileSystemView class of javax.swing.filechooser
create an instance of the view and choose the method:
File root = FileSystemView.getHomeDirectory();as your root file object.
Maybe you need to do some modifications on your FileTreeModel...
under windows the desktop node and the first level nodes down from there
are not real file-objects ...

IPhoto 09 folder structure bug

Let me start by saying that I am a big Apple fan. I have a Macbook Pro (end 2006) running 10.6 with a 30 inch Cinema Display, a 23 inch iMac (mid 2007), and an iPhone 3G and a Nano 5th G. I am an Apple Certified Systems Administrator and was also the first person in Japan to be certified on OS X 10.5 as an Apple Certified Support Professional, however I am primarily an Windows Active Directory/Exchange Server engineer.
I have been using iPhoto since version 06 (end of 2006). I upgraded to 08 as soon as it was released then last year I upgraded to 09. Until recently I had about 18,000 photos in my iPhoto library, but due to the issue listed below I have now switched to Windows Live Photo Gallery on Windows 7 for managing my photos (these are synced using Windows Live Sync to my Mac's Photo folder where I then use Picasa for Mac. Sounds complicated but actually not and it means I can import my photos on my Mac or PC and they are synced both ways. Anyway...
I posted the following Bug Report to: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
If you use iPhoto and don't want to spend days/weeks fixing your folder names and reorganizing photos into correct folders if your library becomes corrupt or you ever want to move your photos out of iPhoto then please provide feedback to Apple so that they know that we are not happy about this.
Bug Report.
The problem with iPhoto 09 is that the the folder structure inside the iPhoto Library package no longer matches the event names in iPhoto.
Previously in iPhoto 08, when renaming an event in iPhoto the folder structure would also be updated. Additionally splitting or merging events would move the files in the iPhoto Library package's folder structure. This is a major problem for me and many other users on the Apple.com iPhoto 09 discussion forums, and this issue has existed since the beginning of 2009!
I need my photo's folders named correctly for the following reasons:
1). Incase I should ever need to move photos out of iPhoto and to another application or platform, I would' have to spend days or even weeks renaming all the folders.
2). If my iPhoto library ever become corrupt and I needed to recreate it then I would loose ALL my event names (hence the details) if iPhoto doesn't keep the folder names the same as the events.
I have recently spent many hours migrating my photos out of iPhoto and renaming the folders manually. iPhoto really was all I ever needed in a photo management application but with this underling bug/issue I can't trust all my photos to it's library format of storage, but I do hope this gets fixed so that I can migrate back to iPhoto in the near future. Might I suggest that the best way forward for the future would be change iPhoto so that it can monitor folders (the same way Picasa does so, this is open and then gives customers the choice of using multiple apps for accessing their photos).

Andrew

A bug can be an error or fault in the software but it can also be a design flaw which IMO this is.
No it can't. A design flaw is just that. A bug is when the software fails to works as designed. iPhoto is working as designed. You may prefer it work another way, but that's your preference. Remember you can always use a different product for managing your photos. You're not required to use iPhoto, you know.
Exporting dumps all the photos into a single folder which again doesn't solve either points 1 or 2 that I made.
Yes - if you export the entire Library at once.
If, however, you export each Event in turn (an process that can be automated with either Automator or AppleScript) then it will export to appropriately named folders.
And, as to any issue of corruption, the simple fact is that backing up is the ultimate protection.
What you want will possibly preserve your Event names. But that's all. It won't preserve albums, slideshows, metadata, the relationship between original and modified versions, the non-destructive editing and so on and so forth. All you'll get will be some folder names.
Now that's both your points answered. For the second time.
I'm not sure why there are so many Apple apologists on these forums.
I see, so someone who explains to you that you have misunderstood something, explains to you a better way of doing what you want to do is an "apologist"? Just like your definition of "bug" it's a mite idiosyncratic. And rude.
I am pretty sure that at some point there will be many users who will want to migrate out of iPhoto and when they do they won't be very happy when they realize that they are locked in.
Nobody, I repeat nobody, is locked into iPhoto. That statement is a falsehood. File -> Export and off you go.
we can either sit back and just accept these limitations, anti-competative vender lockins and design flaws or we can voice our concerns to Apple and get things changed for the better of everyone.
Every software has limitations. What you have failed to show is that any of the matters that concern you are actually "limitations". There are no
anti-competative (sic) vender (sic) lockins (sic)
iPhoto works with entirely standard formats. All your files and metadata are easily accessible throughout the OS and can be easily exported.

How can I "see" the folder structure behind the iPhoto-library?

Within iPhoto (iLife 8) I can right click on a picture and, through Show File, find it in its respective subfolder. BUT, when I go to finder and highlight the iPhoto library in Pictures, I only get information about the total library (size, location etc,) but not its underlying folder and subfolder structure(as was customary in iPhoto6). What changes in settings do I need to make to show the folder-structure?
Thanks in advance
Veit

What changes in settings do I need to make to show the folder-structure?
None, you can't do it.
With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. You can look inside there simply by right-clicking on the iPhoto Library and going 'Show Package Contents'.
However, It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss. There are no user serviceable parts in the iPhoto Library.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
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.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Library creating a new duplicate folder structure

I am using 2.0 on a Mac. Recently I moved all my data files including photos and lightroom catalogs from an external to an internal drive on my MacPro and renamed the new drive with the same name as the external and changed the external name and it became a backup. Lightroom continued to work just fine, seeing all the images with no problem. If I do a "Show in Finder" it shows me them on the internal HD. However, when I import a new image or even import an image or folder that has previously been imported, LR brings it in within a new folder structure that uses the same hard drive name.
My actual hard drive folder structure for my data drive is something like HardDriveName/Graphics/Airshows/image.jpg with all my images in a Graphics folder and within that a series of folders and subfolders.
Previously if I imported a new folder, LR would show HardDriveName/NewFolder and I have several folders of imported images with that structure. It did not include the /Graphics folder because I never imported the entire Graphics folder. Now however, after importing a folder, LR created a new folder structure in the Library with a duplicate of the HardDriveName and it included /Graphics.
I went to the first folder structure and picked a small folder and made a change to an image to darken it a great deal. Then I imported the folder all over again and it imported it to the new folder structure but the dark version was not visible. I DO have automatically write xmp data checked.
If I right click on any image from either folder structure LR shows me the image within the same hard drive where my original are found.
I don't want to have two folder structures and apparently if I re-import all my images LR doesn't see the xmp data. I tried to tell RM to read the xmp data from the image I had changed after it came into the new folder but it did not show up. If I manually tell LR to Save Metadata to File for a folder in my original structure and then go to the same folder in the new structure that LR is showing and tell it to read metadata it will show up in the new folder. I have a folder with 32,000+ images and thousands of other images.
I would like LR to continue to bring images into my "old" folder structure but that may not be possible. Any help?
Interestingly I have more than one data drive. This problem does not seem to be happening with my other data drive that I also swapped to an internal configuration.
I put a pic of my folder structure at http://www.pbase.com/santa/image/101246417 to illustrate the issue. My harddrive name shows as Brandon.
I spoke too soon. LR seems to be creating a new folder structure for two of my three hard drives and adding images properly to one of my three hard drives. All three were new drives with the names changed to match the old drives.

yes I did update camera raw. I think LR 2.0 asked for that. I did a search on "duplicate" and found no answer to my problem. Anyone with a link to any useful information?

Can we access PC's folder structure in Flash

Hello All,
I am new to Flash. I dont know if its the right forum for my post or not. But I need to ask if there is anyway to show the folder structure of a clients PC in flash when the user clicks on a browse button in a web site just like the one below? I googled for a "Multiple File Uploader using flash" but what I found there is that an open file window opens and we are able to select multiple files from it. I could not found anything like below. So my question is that whether we will be able toshow all the folder structure or not?
Regards,
Fawad Ali

Look into the FileReference class and its browse() method. If you want to see how other have used it you should try searching Google using "AS3 FileReference tutorial"

Working with raw .MTS files, no AVCHD folder structure

Hi, I've backed up raw .MTS files to Blu-ray data discs, just the files not the AVCHD folder structures.
I've read about this and everyone says it's not the right way of doing things, that it requires the entire ACVHD folder structure to function.
However when I load these files back onto my Mac from the discs they import just fine into FCPX 10.1.1 natively or optimized. I've had no issues with it at all so why are people so against that way of doing things?
Just curious.

saddact wrote:
Can you explain why they would have gone through multiple generations of compression?
Your camera(s) shot in a certain format. It could use any of a number of codecs – including variants of MPEG2, H.264, whatever. So you import that into FCP and edit – either natively or in optimized. Then you export. When you export, it recompresses – in this case to a fairly high bit rate version of H,264. But to be clear, it always recompresses – even if your camera used H,264 to acquire the media, and you don't optimize, it will recompress in exporting to Blu Ray specs. Inevitably, there is some loss of infomation. It may or may not be a detectable loss.
HTH.

Apple TV - TV Shows Folder Structure Under Computers

Hi All,
I have the latest Apple TV running version 6.2 firmware.
My setup is as follows; I purchase TV Show content from Itunes and download it directly onto my Itune server (Mac Mini) and stream this content to an Apple TV. I would like to know if there is a way to create a hierarchy folder structure when viewing TV shows via the "Computer" option within Apple TV?
At the moment Apple TV doesnt appear to sort by sub-folders and only lists tv shows by season folders combining. Below is an example with the folder structure:
Preferred structure:
Dragons (Parent Folder)
Season 1 (Child Folder)
Season 2 (Child Folder)
Cheers
Chris

AppleTV 1 put seasons in folders in a main folder named after the Show. Unfortunately ATV 2 and 3 always list each and every Season separately at the top level which is incredibly annoying.
I'm amazed they haven't corrected this simple problem after several years.

TS2094 After resetting the pram, the screen only shows a folder with a question mark inside. What does this mean?

I followed the initial steps in this post and reset pram. After restarting, the screen just shows a folder with a question mark. What does this mean?

Thanks Niel, I tried using Option and nothing happened so I next tried inserting the Leopard disc and rebooting while holding C. Nothing happened until the disc was ejected and then the folder with question mark reappeared. I inserted the disc again and at this point and it booted OSX. I tried to acess disc utility to repair but my harddrive wasn't listed, only the CD drive and the OS disc. Does this mean I'm lost everything?

Folder Structures

Hello All,
I was using iView Media Pro, until I picked up Aperture. Quick question ... since Aperture stores all photos in one library file, is there a way to get access to images from Photoshop without having to export from Aperture? Also, I am aware of showing package contents of the Aperture Library file, but this does not really do any good if I am attempting to locate a file in Photoshop.
For the record, I like Aperture. I just hope there will eventually be an easier way to gain access to pictures from the Finder.

This is a way to keep your existing file structure in aperture and then keep a separate set of smart folders which can relate to your existing file & folder system. Its not ideal & it doesn't show up in photoshop file browser but it works reasonably well.
I run a picture library & need to keep track of approx. 70,000 images. These are in lots of file formats including .jpg .tif and raw files both camera specific eg. .NEF .CRW & also files from non-supported cameras converted into .dng files.
I will use aperture as a management system to quickly look for & sort files. I would use it for some basic editing to make images for my website for example - but until it improves will need to use photoshop for raw conversion & serious editing.
Since aperture uses its own library structure which is difficult to locate i need - as i'm sure many other people need - a simple way of quickly looking through my library to find files independent of aperture. This is a method i came up with. It does however require a fair amount of planning ahead as you have to import folders into aperture one by one and then create your smart folder. When you have done that you can move onto the next one.
1) Decide on how you want to split up your existing library & make sure its organised.
I run a library which specialises in travel images of France so its organised in this way.
Main Regions of France>Sub-areas>images etc. So in real terms this works out as:
ALPS(FOLDER)>grenoble(sub-folder)>cable-car1.jpg(image) I'll use this an example & you should be able to see how it works.
2) Firstly in aperture I set up a new project called FRANCE LIBRARY.
3) I then click on it & go to Import>Folders Into a project. In this case its a folder called ALPS.
4) All the files & folders within the main folder ALPS then copy to aperture in the same structure as i've already got them organised.
5) The next step is to find those images & set up a smart folder for all the different kinds of file types within it.
6) Go to Finder>File>New Smart Folder
7) Find your Aperture Library from the menu on the left - wherever you've stored it.
8) Right click it (or cntrl + click) and click Show Package Contents
9) There should be a project file file. In my case its called FRANCE LIBRARY.approject
10) Right click it and click Show Package Contents
11) You should then see a folder with an .apimportgroup extension.
12) Open it & there are separate folders for each of the images. Each folder
includes the actual image + the adjustment etc. files.
13) In the spotlight search box ( top right hand corner) type a search criteria.
use the extension for one of the files you've got in there. eg. jpg
14) click on the + symbol (its below the search box to the right of Save)
15) 2 boxes then appear on the left called Kind & Any
16) click on Any & select Images
17) delete whatever you entered in the search box. this is an important step
as its stops the folder only displaying jpgs.
18) The folder should then display thumbnails of all the images in that .apimportgroup folder. in my case this includes .jpg .tif .dng files.
19) then click Save to name & save folder.
20) It only lets you save in one of 3 places but you can always move it
to where you want.
21) You now have a folder of thumbnails - stored wherever you choose.
22) If you right click the image you can then go to Open With & open it in whatever programme you choose. ie. photoshop.
You can then go back to aperture and import the next batch - following all the steps again.
You can obviously set up the folders how you want. You can choose to have lots of them or a few.
I do this one at a time as its easy to spot the new .apimportgroup folder. If i imported my whole library at once i'd just have one huge folder - this way i can keep them organised as i want them & in a way i'm familiar with.
This means that i can set up the same file and folder structure in aperture & within smart folders as i have in my existing library.
Its complicated & its far from ideal but it works. Even though aperture stores files in its own library they are still visible (admittedly through a complicated procedure) even if aperture ceased to exist as a programme it would still be possible to see all the images in its library by using this method. You can then copy them - burn them to dvd - back them up on another disk - ie. do the same as files in a "normal" folder. As far as i know smart folders will update if you delete from or add to them
As a way of integrating it into photoshop for converting raw files - its possible to have a smart folder containing raw files in place of photoshop bridge & then right click on the image you want to convert - click open with photoshop & the image will appear in the photoshop camera raw converter.
Aperture has some really useful features & also some features that need to be improved asap. I've emailed apple 3 times so far so i'm not a fan of it yet.
For my particular business its very useful in lots of ways - but it needs some work to be what many of us hoped it would be.
ps. if there are any errors in this please let me know. i followed the procedure through as i was typing so i am hoping its all ok.

Exporting Aperture photos to an external HD while keeping existing folder structure

Hi,
I have over 300gb of photos on my MBP. I need to export the photos onto an external Hard Drive and keep the existing folder structure. How can this be done?
My source for the Aperture library is iPhoto. I know that I can 'show package contents' from right clicking the iPhoto library, but this only displays the masters. I need the versions as I have done many edits on the majority of photos. I am fine with having the photos separated out by date - renaming the folder isn't a problem. I just don't want to have to sort through ALL of my photos and place them into different folders.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for the information everyone! I apologize if I'm not being clear.
Here are a few call outs:
1. I have my aperture library and iPhoto synced (the source of all my photos is iPhoto. I exclusively use Aperture for photo editing however).
2. I am actually using a work computer and I am leaving the company. Therefore I need to give the computer back. I will be 'uninstalling' Aperture and eventually erasing all the photos.
3. I don't know what my next photo editing computer will be at this point as I have not purchased one.
4. Since I don't know my next computer, I would like to have all of my existing "Folders" and "Projects" (as Aperture defines them) on an external drive so I can pick and pull the ones I would like to view / edit.
5. On my next computer, I would not like to import my exact settings / folder structure from Aperture. I will be starting fresh. With that said, I would prefer to have all my existing "Folders" and "Projects" in one giant folder called "Pictures" on my external HD.
Example folder structure on my External HD:
Folder 1: Pictures
Folder 1a: Aperture "Folder" 1
Folder 1ai: Aperture "Project" 1
Folder 1aii: Aperture "Project" 2
Folder 1b: Aperture "Folder" 2
Folder 1bi: Aperture "Project" 1
Folder 1bii: Aperture "Project" 2
I have roughly 90 "Projects" inside about 5 "Folders". Of course I can create a folder on my external HD, select all the pictures, and click export for every single one of my "Projects", but I would prefer not do to that as it is incredibly time consuming. I am looking for an automated way of copying all my photos to an external drive while maintaining my existing folder / projects hierarchy into what 'finder' defines as 'folders'.
Although I would like to keep my 'masters' and 'versions', my original thought was to just export the versions. So actually, I guess just 'moving' the entire library would work. But since I don't know what computer I will work on and I may be on a temporary computer (install Aperture and manually select photos to import and work on), I wanted to have them be in a folder structure for easy importing and viewing if I wanted to on any mac.
My existing structure in Aperture are Folders --> Projects.
In order to copy my entire library, I have gone into (from finder) "Hard Drive" > Users > Wingmandan > Pictures > iPhoto Library. I have taken that icon and dragged into my external HD. It was 300 gb, and took about 8 horus to complete.
Desired end result
-Be able to quickly reference/view the versions of my pictures on any mac through my external HD (Versions)
-Be able to choose what photos to import based upon my existing 'folders' and 'projects' into my next computer (Versions and Masters)
-Have a full backup of my Aperture Library
I hope this makes more sense and I'm a bit more clear. Again, thanks again for your help. I need to return the laptop by the end of the week.

Can't see folder structure when PDF folder in Lotus notes

Hi All,
We are using Lotus Notes 8.5 with Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. In the Lotus Notes client, this one user clicks on the "Convert Selected folders to PDF', and a box comes up asking her to select the folders she wants to convert.
The problem we run into is that you cannnot see the folder structure in the box. You only see the dots and boxes that outline the structure. This is inside her FOLDERS folder. I uploaded a picture. Hopefully you can see it.
Thanks!

Have you tried recreating the site definition in Dreamweaver? Sometimes stuff happens and the Dreamweaver site definition gets corrupted - and then all sorts of stuff can go wonky (like folders not showing up correctly).
