Save to folders with hyphenated names

Acrobat Pro 9.0 cannot save to folders that contain apostrophes, hyphens or other special
characters. This is such a step backwards and is so PC oriented for a product that was originally created for the Mac and was streets ahead of the PC equivalents.
Abobe's comment is: Unfortunately this is a product limitation that we cannot resolve.
Why then can every other application that I use on my Mac save to folders with these characters?

Hi alexdon.
What do you want a screenshot of? A view of the internal memory or SD card showing the odd folder name? Or a shot of the contents of the folder showing just a .nomedia file?
As I am wondering if the long folder name is some sort of key, until I know what they are, I am a little uneasy about quoting the full folder name but (replacing the last four characters with asterisks) one of the folders on the internal memory is called.

There is no 'Save as' under the file menu. How do I save a file with another name?

Numbers help refers to the 'Save As' function in the File menu. My version (latest) does not have a 'Save As' function. How do I save a file with another name?

Badunit. You have an original file and an edited file. Now you duplicate the edited file and save it with a different name. Now do you have to go and delete the changed file from which the duplicate had been made? And.... is the original still unchaned... still original?
Ross,
For the situation you describe, Apple has provided Duplicate and Revert. Use File > Duplicate to reach this menu:

In Pages how do I save a file with another name

In Pages how do I save a file with another name?

I don't know if there is a less cumbersome way to do this (I'm still pretty new to Lion) but This is what I do - since "Save As" seems to be gone with Lion.
I create a duplicate document - then click the red button to close the document - and a dialog box pops up and asks if you want to save the changes - I change the name in there and then save the file under the new name.
You can also save the copy to the desktop - get info - and then change the name if the finder window.
I copied this from the Pages help area. These help instructions were created pre-Lion I'm sure.
Saving a Copy of a Document
If you want to make a copy of your document—to create a backup copy or multiple versions, for example—you can save the document using a different name or location. (You can also automate saving a backup version, as Automatically Saving a Backup Version of a Document describes.)
To save a copy of a document:
Choose File > Save As and specify a name and location.
The document with the new name remains open. To work with the previous version, choose File > Open Recent and choose the previous version from the submenu.

Can't save any file with any name-InDesign CC

can't save any file with any name-file DBTmp4376-863643269 is damaged (error code:0)
InDesign CC, OS version 10.9.1
I explored solutions to failure in background task alert which did not work. Been using adobe products since they came on the scene. Nothing like this. Please help.

I'm using version 9.2.
Yes, it started with a new file. Support gave me the solution to save it to my desktop which worked. When I put it back in the original folder and opened/save it would not save to that folder. Created a new folder and was able to open & save to the new folder. That seems to be a workable solution. How a folder can become corrupt is a bit scarey.
In experimenting with solutions I received another error "failure in background task alert" and discovered CS5 problems with background task.
However the solutions for CS5 did not work in my incidence.
I sure would like to prevent this from happening again. If you have any insights please share them. Otherwise I will just accept the experience as another computer workaround and be thankful that I have it.
Thanks for responding.

I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer

I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer (not including the hidden layers, but including those visible).
How could modify the script: 'Layer Comps To Files.jsx' to get the result?
Warning: I do not need to export all layers as files.
Who can help me?
THX in advance

Versione in Italiano (Further down the English version)
NB - Nella versione inglese ho messo tutte le immagini dei menu in italiano.
Versione per Mac, ma credo sia identico per Windows.
Spiego passo passo cosa ho fatto:
- Ho creato un file esempio con tre Livelli, salvato sulla scrivania e ho chiuso il file.
- Ho aperto il file e selezionato il Livello al centro per iniziare a registrare una azione che ho chiamato: Save with Name of Selected Layer
- Nuova azione
- Dare il nome e premere Registra
Ora salva…
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Ancora una volta Menu --> Livello... --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Menu --> Livello --> Ordina --> Dietro
- Menu --> Livello --> Unisci sotto
- Menu --> Livello --> Unisci visibili
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
- Menu --> Livello - Nascondi Livello
- Menu --> Elimina --> Elimina livelli nascosti (press -Yes-)
- Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... Inserisci questo: 'Move this to the trash' e premi ok
- Menu --> File --> Script --> Esporta Livelli in File... (Nella finestra che si apre scegliere l’opzione che si desidera, ma togliere il prefisso del nome) e premere -Esegui-
- Selezionare il pannello Storia cliccare su Elimina premendo -Si- ogni volta che si apre la finestra di dialogo (Ripetere 8 volte questa operazione sino ad arrivare nella storia alla condizione di partenza. Ho visto che è meglio di Ripristina -F12-)
- Fermare la registrazione.
A questo punto, mandando in esecuzione questa Azione, ho raggiunto parzialmente l’obiettivo perché i file così creati mantengono, purtroppo, dei prefissi numerici per evitare probabilmente la sovrascrizione di file (credo senza avviso) nel posto dove vengono creati.
Per ottenere l’obiettivo occorre un nuovo passo ed a proposito di questo riferisco quanto segue:
ATTENZIONE - L’operazione descritta qui di seguito deve essere fatta su di una copia del file, per cui:
- Duplicare il file,
- Spostare l’originale in altra cartella
- Lavorare sul file duplicato.
mi riferisco a questo...
ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica è effettuata a proprio rischio e pericolo ed il sottoscritto non si assume alcuna responsabilità su quanto venga fatto soprattutto da mani inesperte.
ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica sovrascrive qualsiasi file che abbia nome uguale al layer che viene selezionato più l’estensione del file naturalmente.
Comunque la modifica è banalissima e a portata di chiunque.
Procedere così:
- Chiudere Photoshop
- Aprire (nel percorso specificato dall’immagine) il file “Export Layers to Files.jsx” (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) con un editor di testo puro.
- cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1029)
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4);
fileNameBody += "_" + layerName;
- sostituirla con:
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += layerName;
- cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1047-46)
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4) + "s";
- sostituirla con:
var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
fileNameBody += "";
- salvare e uscire.
- riavviare Photoshop
- provare l’azione registrata facendo attenzione che il nome del layer non sia identico al nome di un file già presente altrimenti questo verrà sovrascritto.
Domanda:
Perché ho creato livelli che poi ho eliminato ecc.
Risposta:
Semplice per evitare errori di esecuzione delle azioni nel caso di operazioni con livelli mancanti o altro.
Semplice... no?
English version
Mac version, but I think it's the same for Windows.
First of all, I'm translating the actions that I made using the Italian version of Photoshop, you look at the position of the menu that I have chosen to do the work with other languages.
I explain step by step what I did:
- I created a sample file with three layers, saved to the desktop and I closed the file.
- I opened the file and select the layer at the center to start recording an action that I called: Save with Name of the Selected Layer
- New action
- Give the name and press Save ( I think it is so in English )
Now save ...
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Once again Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Menu -> Layer - > Arrange (order) -> Behind
- Menu -> Layer - > Merge Down
- Menu -> Layer - > Merge Visible
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
- Menu -> Layer - Hide Layer
- Menu - > Delete - > Delete hidden layers (press -Yes- )
- Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… Enter this: ' Move this to the trash ' and press ok
- Menu -> File - > Scripts -> Export Layers To Files... (In the window that opens select the option you want, but take away the name prefix) and press - Run -
- Select the History panel and click Delete (on menu opened) pressing -Yes- every time when open the dialog box (8 times Repeat this step until you get into the story to the starting condition. Not use Restore -F12-).
- Stop recording.
At this point, by executing this action, I have reached the goal partly because the files created in this way remain, unfortunately, the numerical prefixes to avoid possibly overwriting of files (I think without notice) in the place where they are created.
To achieve the goal we need a new step and thinking about this as follows:
WARNING - The operation described below should be made on a copy of the file, so :
- Duplicate the file
- Move the original folder to another
- Work on the duplicate file.
WARNING - This modification is performed at your own risk and the undersigned assumes no responsibility on what is done mostly by inexperienced hands.
WARNING - This change will overwrite any files with the same name as the selected layer plus the file extension of course.
However, the change is trivial and within reach of anyone.
Proceed as follows:
- Close Photoshop
- Open (in the specified path from the image ) file " Export Layers to Files.jsx " (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) with a pure text editor.
- Search for the string (should be in line 1029 )
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody = + "_" + zeroSuppress (i, 4 ) ;
fileNameBody + = "_ " + layerName ;
- Replace it with :
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = layerName ;
- Search for the string (should be in line 1047-46 )
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = "_ " + zeroSuppress (i, 4) + "s" ;
- Replace it with :
var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
fileNameBody + = "";
- Save and exit.
- Restart Photoshop
- Try the recorded Action, making sure that the layer name is not identical to the name of an existing file otherwise it will be overwritten.
Question:
Why I created levels which I then deleted etc..
Answer:
Simple to avoid errors of execution of the actions in the case of transactions with missing levels and other.
Simple ... is not it?
Sorry for my bad English...
Thanks in advance for any hint.

Automator action with dropdown to make folders with predetermined names

Is there an action/workflow that will allow me to create Folders using a dropdown menu of predetermined names for those folders?

I haven't seen one, and since no one has posted about one yet, I'll throw this out.
I modified a couple of handlers I have laying around into a Run AppleScript action that will make folders from a list of names. The list can be set in a Get Specified Text action, with the "menu" being a Choose from List action:
Tested workflow:
1) Get Specified Text (your folder names, separated by returns) for example:
Testing
Another test
My Spiffy New Folder
2) Filter Paragraphs (Return paragraphs that are not empty)
3) Choose from List (Prompt: Please choose folder names:)
4) Run AppleScript:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters}
make folders with names from a list
input: a list of names (text items)
output: a list of Finder items (aliases) created
set output to {}
set DestinationFolder to missing value -- set the destination path here if desired
try -- verify that the path is valid
set DestinationFolder to DestinationFolder as alias
on error
set DestinationFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the location to make the selected folders:")
end try
repeat with AnItem in the input
GetUniqueName for AnItem from DestinationFolder -- avoid duplicates
try
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at DestinationFolder with properties {name:the result}
set the end of the output to the result as alias
end try
end repeat
return output
end run
to GetUniqueName for SomeName from SomeFolder
check if SomeName exists in SomeFolder, creating a new unique name if needed
parameters - SomeName [text]: a name.extension to check for
SomeFolder [mixed]: a folder to check
returns [text]: a unique name
set {Counter, Divider} to {"00", "_"}
set Here to -(offset of "." in ((reverse of text items of SomeName) as text)) - 1
set TheName to text 1 thru Here of SomeName
if Here is -1 then -- no extension
set TheExtension to ""
else
set TheExtension to text (Here + 1) thru -1 of SomeName
end if
set NewName to TheName & TheExtension
tell application "System Events" to tell (get name of items of folder (SomeFolder as text))
repeat while it contains NewName
set Counter to text 2 thru -1 of ((100 + Counter + 1) as text) -- leading zero
set NewName to TheName & Divider & Counter & TheExtension
end repeat
end tell
return NewName
end GetUniqueName</pre>
- the output from the Run AppleScript action is a list of aliases to the folders created, if you want that information to do something with.

Window 8.1 Merging Files with from Folders With Same Name Together

I notice folders with the same exact name in the same location will merge together all the files into one folder without any notice to change the name. Is there some way to change this setting?

If set to show folder-merge conflicts, you should get a conflict-warning dialog.

Clear the check box below.

How do I save excel file with new name?

Returning to using a Mac after 20 years - so not familiar with many things.
I have an existing Excel file that I am using and making changes to... how do I save it as a new file name?
I click on the 'disk' icon on the top ribbon but that just saves it as the same file-name with an updated time-stamp... that won't work for me.
Much appreciate any help!

Top of screen: FILE -- Save as... Name it - top rectangle and pick a place to save it. DONE.

How to save PDF file with predefined name?

Hi,
I am new in LiveCycle Designer. I have a requirement to save a PDF file with predefined file name. When user clicks a "Save as PDF" button, the fillable form is saved with the name from the form fields (e.g. FormID_UserID_Timesstamp...)
I added a button (btnSavePDF) to the form (Control Type=Regular). Then I added an action with the Condition:"When button is clicked" and the Result: "Save the form". I got the JavaScripts it genreated:
CoverPageForm.FormPage.btnSavePDF::click - (JavaScript, client)
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
When I tested it in Adobe Acorbat XI, I have option to save it as .pdf or other file formats. My questions is how can I save it with the predefined file name as a .pdf file, instead user has option to change the file name or change the file format? Can app.execMemuItem() method take other parameters?
Thanks
Sam

You can't do it with app.execMenuItem. You can use the doc.saveAs method, but it has to be executed in a privileged context. For your application this means a folder-level JavaScript file that would have to be installed on each user's machine or with code in a certified PDF that the users chooses to trust to allow for privileged JavaScript execution.
More information on the saveAs JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
and some sample code relevant to the folder-level JavaScript option: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.168.html
All of the sample code shown is for a regular PDF, so you'll have to adjust slightly for using with an XFA.

Batch processing: save processed file with same name to different location without moving the original

Hi, I would like to denoise Voice Over files with help of Auditions Batch Process. However, I have to save the files with the same name as the original, so that I can simply relink them in Premiere. Since I do want to keep the originals, I would like to save the processed files to a different location.
Unfortunately, Batch Processor adds " Copy" to the processed files and moves the originals along with the processed files to the new folder (causing Premiere to loose the original files).
Can I achieve my goal with Batch Processor, and how would I have to configure it?
Kind regards,
Andreas

Which version of Audition are you using? The latest ones allow you to specify where the batched files are saved and also if any Prefix or Postfix are added to the file name. These are all under Export Settings in the Batch Process pane. However you must have the Export box ticked to give you access to the settings.

Want to save Individual clips with separate names

Moving from Final cut over to Imovie. In Final Cut could save any clip with a separate name. Other than copying a clip over to a new project and rendering a move, I could not find how to do that in imovie, or in the tutorials/manual. I have spent a good deal of time bringing the HD movies over to Imovie and selecting out the clips to make a new movie. These clips must now be archived with individual names.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance!

Probably collecting everything on an artboard into a new layer might give you the option to use a script to save layers to files.
But this is a feature request but no as of yet has suggested a way that this might work, at least I do not think so.

Apple script to replace content in specific folders with folder names in csv

Can anyone please help me with this scenario... It would greatly be appreciated!
1. I have a list in csv containing 3 columns: Column 1 = Folder name • Column 2 = Entry A • Column 3 = Entry B
2. I have 100 folders named the same as Column 1. in each folder there is different files.
This is what I need.
I need the script to to find the folder based upon column 1.
Then the script should search for place holder named "Entry A" and replace it's contents with data from Column 2. There are several files with in the folder that contain place holder "Entry A" so it should replace it all but must remain with in that folder.
Then same for column 3 find place holder named Entry B and replace.
Then it should save all files.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Quicktime on Windows clients can't open files in folders with long names!!

Hi,
we've got a really strange problem. We have an Intel Xserve with Leopard Server 10.5.4 which is sharing files over SMB. Everything works fine, except Quicktime on Windows clients (XP Pro and Vista). It looks like the length of the folder names is the problem. If a single folder in the path to the mov has a name that's longer than 8 characters, Quicktime fails with "Error -43: A file could not be found."
x:\test1234\test.mov works
x:\test12345\test.mov doesn't work
Same for UNC paths. VLC on Win and Quicktime on OS X work without problems over SMB. Also the problem doesn't exist on other Samba based fileservers.
Any ideas? Perhaps some smb.conf tweaks to fix this?
Best regards

Accessing Folders with random name - help =(

Hello All,
I am doing some parallel computing and running i.e. 100 jobs into 100 different processors. each job is producing some random folder and putting all the output files in there. now, I need to know how can i access those random folders using java. people have been recommending AbsolutePath , use of start,etc etc, but its not working.
Thanks for your help.
p.s. folders names are numbers in ascending order i.e. and each folder contains the same files ( file1.csv file2.csv )
201032434/file1.csv
201035474/file1.csv
201042328/file1.csv
and so on..

the problem is i need to access these directories but
they have random number !! so i can't really specify
the directory and get into it...Well, they have to be stored in some specified parent directory.
Just call File.listFiles() from that parent directory and access the "random" directories.
