Resizing JPEG Files and overwrite existing files

I've got a folder with about 30 subfolders with JPEGs only. I need to resize all of them to a specific size and they must stay within the subfolder structure they currently reside in. I have selected all of the files (using the show files in subfolders menu setting) and have tried to Export so that the smaller files go back in the original folder and also "Overwrite WITHOUT WARNING". When I do this, LR3 will go through it's process, but will come up with a message like this one:
Is what I am seeking to accomplish not possible in Lightroom? Or is there another way to do this? I'm about ready to make a Photoshop Action to get this over with but wanted to see if LR can do what I need it to do.

Thanks for the response. These are not original RAW images, but are images for a project I'm working on. I have all the original RAW files, but they are scattered throughout my library on different volumes. I had originally exported the RAWs into one JPEG folder, then sorted images into a bunch of different subfolders during the editing process. Some files still have camera names and some are renamed, so doing it over again by re-exporting and sorting to move in chunks is not an option. I simply want a way to overwrite the images without having to resort everything back into the different subfolders. Isn't that what the "Overwrite WITHOUT WARNING" should be for? I don't understand why it won't let me overwrite the images.

Download and overwrite existing file with same name

Is there a way to tell Safari to erase previous versions of downloads, ie not adding a '-1' or '-n' to the file name, but overwrite an already existing file?

I was going to say "hurrah!" but..... no.
I does ask me for the file name, it does ask me if I want to replace, but it does not replace the file, and just saves it in dummy-1.ppt.
Funny thing: it has the expected behaviour for pdf files, where replacement actually occurs.

Disable "Overwrite existing files" when upload doument

Dear team,
in document library, when upload document, i don't want the document to overwrite the documents with the same name.
there is chekbox in upload page, that is default checked, I searched and some people said that I can update the upload page, find the checkbox control, and set the value to false, so i update the value in Upload.aspx and Uploadex.aspx page to change the
value.
but after changing the value, I cannnot open the upload page successfully, it always shows error.
Did I do anything wrong?

Hi Greetings.
This is not the right procedure
Scording to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to override SharePoint OOTB Upload.aspx default for " Overwrite existing files" checkbox.
We can use the AdditionalPageHead delegate control to change the default without modifying upload.aspx.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the WSS3.0, it still works for SharePoint 2013: Turn Default Upload Overwrite Off in WSS 3.0
Please follow the steps as below:
Download the solution file form here
Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
Open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
Run the command: add-spsolution c:\ DefaultUploadOverwriteOff.wsp
Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
Open the site, clilck Site settings-> Site collection features-> Default Upload Overwrite Off->Active.
Open the library, the 'overwrite existing files' checkbox will be unchecked.

Disable "Overwrite Existing Files"

Hi, I am trying to disable the "Overwrite Existing Files" checkbox which comes in the pop up when I try to upload a file in sharepoint site. Can someone please tell me how can I disable this (the whole thing should go if possible). Many users
will use this and I do not want those users to overwrite the files they uploaded. Many Thanks

Hi,
From your description, I understand you want to disable the "Overwrite Existing Files" option by default.
Please try the steps below:
1.Locate Upload.aspx file via path “..\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS” on your SharePoint server.
2.Backup the Upload.aspx file.
3.Locate the following line:
<asp:CheckBox id="OverwriteSingle" Checked="true" Text="<%$Resources:wss,upload_document_overwrite_file%>" runat="server" CssClass="ms-upload-overwrite-cb" />
4.Then change “true” to “false”, and add code(Disabled = “true”) as below:
<asp:CheckBox id="OverwriteSingle" Checked="false" Disabled="true" Text="<%$Resources:wss,upload_document_overwrite_file%>" runat="server" CssClass="ms-upload-overwrite-cb" />
5.Save the file and refresh your site collection to see whether it is working.
You could also choose to remove the option, please refer to the thread below:

Can't Overwrite Existing Files with Same Name - Likely a Mail Error?

Couldn't find this on the forum... Hope I can explain this properly.
When I design something and send a proof I will send a PDF through mail. When the revises come in I used to be able to just overwrite the existing files on my desktop and re-send through mail. But now programs won't let me overwrite files with the same name anymore. Basically the program says "overwrite existing file?" but then say "file is in use. Can't overwrite."
Back in Leopard this used to happen when I would have a mail draft open that used the data of the file I sent or was about to send. I would just have to save the mail message as a draft and the file was "no longer in use" so I could proceed as usual. But now it does this all the time regardless.
Did this make sense? It's kind of hard to explain... But basically now when I want to send a revised file (and this can happen dozen of times in a day) I have to trash the existing file I want to overwrite. Or rename the file, which is confusing for me and my clients.
Any thoughts?

I have the same situation as you - sending out pdfs of designed pages and wanting to overwrite them continually. It used to happen on an older version of Mail, then it disappeared and now it's back with the latest version.
It's more than annoying, it's downright driving me nuts. In the last hour I had to quit Mail seven times.
Please send a fix for this Apple.

Overwrite existing files?

I'm happily back to iTunes 7.7.1. I followed the directions for creating a backup disk. Apple's instructions for 'restoring from a backup disc' don't mention the 'extra' dialogue that comes up; EG 'Overwrite existing files?'
By overwriting, does that keep one from getting a bunch of dupe songs? What happens if one doesn't overwrite? Are 'files' the same as 'songs'?
Thx in advance!

Hi,
I think that you're confusing the iTunes application with the iTunes Folder.
The iTunes Application resides in your Application folder and if you removed iTunes and installed an earlier version, then your iTunes Folder which lives in Home/Music will have remained untouched. This folder contains all your music, applications and the database that iTunes uses containing all your playlist and other information.
If you did remove every trace of iTunes, then you should have been presented with an empty iTunes window when you re-installed the earlier version, and you should not be getting a message about "overwriting files" because there aren't any files to overwrite.
If you only replaced the iTunes application, and when you opened iTunes 7.7.1 all your music files were present, then you don't need to re-install from your backup discs because they're already in your library.
Regards

Output Options -- Overwrite existing files

I OCR multiple files from different locations routinely and need a better method to identify what files have previously been OCR'd. My question has to do with the Output Options of the OCR multiple files function of Adobe 9. It would seem to me that if I add "ocr" to the filename and check the overwrite existing files option that I would not end up with 2 files -- the original file and the OCR'd file with "ocr" added to the filename, but that is what happens. Am I doing something wrong or am I misinterpreting that function.
Regards,
Steve

"Overwrite existing files" would control whether, if the file name you have chosen is already in use, whether that file is overwritten. There is no offer to "delete input file".

RoboHelp does not ask if I want to overwrite existing files

I got a new laptop this week so I had to re-install RoboHelp 8 on my new laptop. I also installed the two patches available for RoboHelp 8 as well.
When I import .htm files into my RoboHelp Project it is overwriting existing files without asking me if I want to overwrite any existing files. It is also overwriting my style sheet if the file came from another project with the same style sheet name. I cannot figure out how to configure RoboHelp so that it will always ask me if I want to overwrite a file if an file with the same name already exists in my project.
I've never had this issue in the past with any version of RoboHelp or with RoboHelp 8.0.2.208. Any idea on how to configure RoboHelp so it will ask me if I want to overwrite existing files?

I just ran a test and the first import did not issue any warnings but it would not have overwritten anything. The next import did issue the expected warning in respect of files that would be overwritten.
There is nothing to configure but it does appear to be working as expected.
Try importing the same htm file twice into the same project, create a test project for the purpose.

Write a Java program using Apache POI that reads in a tab delimited file and outputs an xls file (in what they call Horrible Spread Sheet Format. Create your tab delimited file and then run your Java program using appropriate OS commands.

In all honesty, I find it hard to believe other application can't accept any other format. It's actually seems rather unreasonable to expect an ERP system to create a file in an outdated format of a desktop software. Even Excel itself can open many formats, so this just doesn't make any sense.
This.
Unless you can explain exactly why the destination must be xls and no other format is acceptable, I'm going to close the thread. What is this third party tool? Why can it only read the obsolete xls file format.
I'm going through this thread and rejecting all the responses that attempt a solution that isn't xls.
I'm surprised that the OP thought that simply saving with an xls file extension would cause some magic to happen and produce an actual Excel file.

How to save for web AND overwrite original files with Action?

Hello,
I want to compress a batch of images with "save for web" using a Photoshop Action, and I also want to preserve my folder structure and overwrite source files. The structure is important because it's complex and needs to be structured this way.
The Problem:
When I choose "save for web", I must define a destination. What happens is all optimized files from within the structure are saved in a single location.
Here's an example of the folder structure
Folder A
     - Subfolder A1
     - Subfolder A2
Folder B
     - Subfolder B1
     - Subfolder B2
          -Subfolder B2.2
Folder C
     -Subfolder C1
Summary
Is it possible for me to use a Photoshop Action with "save for web", and overwrite my files without moving them from the structure?

No need to re-invent the wheel.
Just learn how to use the Image Processor, Image Processor Pro, or Dr. Brown's Services 1-2-3 in Photoshop and/or Bridge.

Overwrite existing file not working for FTP

Hi XI Folks,
I am trying not to overwrite the file at receiver - FTP server.
It is getting overwritten though I uncheck 'Overwrite existing file' checkbox in FTP. But the same is working fine for NFS. Please find the config details below.
Receiver communication channel Configuration:
Transport Protocol : FTP
File construction mode: Create
Put File: Use temporary file
Overwrite existing file : Not checked
The file is getting overwritten. Iam in SP15.
Receiver Communication channel Configuration:
Transport Protocol : NFS
File construction mode: Create
Write mode: Use temporary file
Overwrite existing file : Not checked
The file is not getting overwritten. It throws an error in Message monitor with wait status.
Is the "overwrite exist file - checkbox" works only for NFS & not for FTP.
eagerly expecting relevant response,
Kiruthika S

Sasi,
If we have two files with the same name then what do you want to do? It is the same scenario here? If you dont check the overwrite existing file option then it can write the file also. If you check then it will overwrite. If you dont want this then you can add the timestamp to the existing file. Else you have to make sure of the naming conventions of the file.

AppleScript - Writing to non-existent directories, and non-existent files..

All,
AppleScript - Writing to non-existent directories, and non-existent files...
Creating directories several levels deep on the fly.
How do we write to a file that does not exist, buried deep down in a hierarchy of directories that don't exist either...
In trying to do this I explored two options. One used AppleScript, assisted by UNIX, which was simplicity itself, the other one used only AppleScript and was considerably more complex, and slower.

Illustrator Crashes when creating new file and opening a file

Every time I try to create a new file, or even open an existing file Illustrator crashes. I have re-installed illustrator...no luck. I have tried running Illustrator while holding SHIFT...no luck. I am using windows 7, and have no crazy drivers that I believe need to be updated.
Thank you for your help!
-Patrick

Have been Googling like always after Illustrator CC crashes with these specific symptoms (Opening fine, New file of Opening existing file crashes).
All other threads had no working solution for me and the symptoms seemed little different - Opening the program and keeping it open without opening or creating a file was no problem.
This was the well-appreciated solution that did the trick for me.
Re: Illustrator CC 17.1 Crashing on New File or Open File (Win 7) works under a different user?
(In my case I think my default printer had been changed in the background by using a VPN connection this morning which I hardly use ever. Never had been thinking in that direction of course.)
Good luck to you all.

I converted aif files to mp3 files in I tunes so I could put them on a flash drive. Now when I transfer an album to the flash drive I get both the aif files and the mp3 files in the flash drive. How do I get the iTunes to only copy the smaller file?

My suggestion to use the smart playlist was more along the lines of making one list with rules to show everything in your library as long as it was kind "mpeg" (= mp3).
Smart playlists cannot be edited manually, only by changing the rules. You can use them as the basis for another smart playlist though.
There is added overhead to using smart playlists, so don't go overboard.
