Search in folder when saving a file

Hi, I have a problem with searching files when saving file.
I created a new file with the default name ("Untitled-1"). I want to overwrite an existing file in my folder, but there is a lot of files. I do not want to type the entire name - I want to find this file. Unfortunately, pressing the first letter of the file name does not work, so I want to use a search engine:
Searching in this way does not work well, but the file is in my folder. Options are also selected to 'search for in the current folder' and 'look for the file name':
If I do the exact same thing in the Finder, then it works:
I've tested this on two different computers, everything is the same as with me.
Do you have a similar problem? Or maybe you have some other way to find the file to be overwritten? I would be grateful for any advice and help : )
Regards

Or maybe you have some other way to find the file to be overwritten?
Hi,
I don't do a lot of overwriting. However, when I use Save or Save as, I'll navigate to the folder and save it to the intended location to begin with. If this entails choosing overwrting there, again, it be can done at the time of save.
Different people have their own preferred practices of working and organising. Personally I dislike tiding up afterwards because that seems like work.
I don't use the Finders 'Find' since I came across the application Find any File.
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
It works superbly and is rather intuitive, I think, when it come to finding stuff.

Need to see ALL files in folder when saving from Word 2003 OR Word 2013 program

Here is the issue.... A customer of mine has the need to save files in order (Communications with customers by date and time)
BUT..... when saving the file word does not let him see ALL the documents (.doc AND .docx) in the save dialog. (I know we could convert but there seems to be issues with the conversion, at least on the research I have done)
Is there a way for the Word save dialog box to display ALL the files in the selected folder? OR is this just an undocumented feature OR a WOW we never thought of that....
Thanks!

Hi,
When we save a Word document, the "Save As" dialog only displays these files which are the same type as the one we are trying to save. To display other types of files, select from the "Save as type" box, but I haven't realized there's a way to show
all types of files when saving. This is just how it works so far.
Thanks,

Chapter 7 is Working with Projects. The section is Setting Project Properties>Handling Project Assets. Page 180. This shows you where to find File>Project Settings>Assets. It also has a link to Chapter 43 which has more detail about project settings.
When you first save a project, look at the bottom. A check box exists for "include assets." If checked, several options are made available.

Adobe bridge crashes when saving illustrator files

Hi there,
We are developing custom connector using Adobe Drive SDK for our DAM system, the integration with CS was working fine, we recently updated Adobe Drive to 4.2, and we are encountering bridge crashes when saving illustrator file. It didn't happen with older version(4.0.2) of Adobe Drive, not sure why. I pin point the part that causing the issue: in our custom connector, we have READ_XMP_METADATA capability which we need to display the thumbnails and previews, and in the ftp sample connector, this capablity is not included originally, so the issue does not happen, but if I add this capabilty, the crash issue happens as well. If we exclude this capablity from our connector, this crash issue doesn't happen.
We noticed this only happens when saving illustrator file, not photoshop or indesign, and it seems that only in illustrator, when save, and the bridge has the current file folder showing, we are seeing there are twice folder refreshes, and usually it will crash after the second time. In photoshop and indesign, we don't see folder refreshes. If switch to other folder, the crash won't happen. We tested on both windows and Mac, on Mac, this seems happen less often. Another thing we noticed is in debug mode, or we have many debug logging turned on, the crash happens less often, if it is deployed with no debug logging, the crash happens almost everytime. So we are guessing it might be some synchronization problem.
Could you please advice what's the cause of this issue?
Thanks,
Katherine

Has it ever worked?
What kind of files are they and where do you save them?
Is a printer connected, set up and turned ON?
Have you already tried resetting the preferences?
Generally it's not a good idea to just save old files, because then some artwork may be automatically flattened. Illustrator will save the file to the old version file-format and if you used new features in-between, those cannot stay live in the old version file format.

When saving certain files get the error "Error saving file..."

When saving certain files get the error "Error saving file..." Seems to have trouble saving the temp files. tried dumping my workspace and prefs. No change. Other files work fine.

Hi There,
The subject header just about says it all. This is the first action I took with MAX - it is a fresh install. The file I wanted to save was still written and the FP seems to be working ok. However, I need to know what happened.
I can't post the whole log file due to the amount of characters allowed on this post. I can cut and paste sections if there is a specific part of the file you need. Below is the first section and last section.

Hi,
I did a research on your error message and it seems this problem was introduced with MAX 4.6. This version switched to a new error reporting mechanism and reports even errors that are which are not critical to your task.
These errors typically show up as "unexpected" and if your error falls into this category have a look to this KB for further assistance.
If it doesn't fall into this category, your could try to go back to the MAX 4.5 or 4.4.. Of course you would need to reinstall some components and might not be able to use newer drivers at all.
Let me know.

When saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?

when saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?. i would like to know what changes, so in the future i can set my camera to a setting that will give me the highest quality to begin with,allowing me to make crops and still preserve the quality.
thank you
dovid

It's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step.

FrameMaker crashes when saving a file as XML

Hello -
I am encountering a problem saving a .fm file as a .xml file. I have saved many .fm files as .xml files in the past with no issues. However, lately FM crashes with a "serious error" on certain files when I try the same save process. My initial thought was that the file was somehow corrupted, but this morning I ran into this scenario: I have 3 FM licenses in my office, I was trying to save a .fm file as .xml and FM kept crashing. So I had another co-worker try to save the exact same file as a .xml file and it WORKED!?!?!?!
We all were using FM 11, but I have since installed FM 12 thinking that version 12 wouldnt have the same problem, but the same issue is happening with both versions of FM. I read that FM has issues when working across a network so I have tried it both ways, across the network and locally and the same issue occurs.
Again, this problem occurs occasionally on various files - not every file, but as previously mentioned I was able to successfully save a file on a different machine that I could not save on my machine. I have the most recent log file that was generated after a crash:
[*** LOG FILE REMOVED BY MODERATOR***]
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.
Gavin

An update -
So FM now appears to crash "sometimes" when saving as an xml file AND when saving the file in general. I have 3 machine with FramMaker installed, first with version 11 now with version 12. These 3 machines are all identical as far as SW running on them, etc... I have been unable to detect a pattern as to when FM will crash thus far. Sometimes it will crash when I try to save the file as an .xml file and sometimes it will save just fine. I have resorted to marking up the document a little at a time, saving the file, then trying to save as an XML file. It will work sometimes and other times it will crash. Sometimes it crashes when trying to save the .fm file other times it works; sometimes it will crash when I try to save the .fm file as a .xml file, other times it will work. About the only thing in common that I have found thus far is the fact that it happens with the same file over and over again; meaning that if I have a pool of 12 files that I need to load into FM and markup, 11 of the 12 files may work just fine and the 12 file will not - it will crash FM at some point in the markup/saving process every time. One might guess that the original file is somehow corrupt and that may be, but at this point I am not sure how I prove that is the case as FM seems to load it in just fine and I can save it right off the bat just fine. Does anyone know how I can prove that the structured file i receive initially is corrupt when it loads into FM fine? If we were causing some issue with the import of our modified EDD then why dont we have the same issue with the other 11 files in the batch as they all are using the same EDD?
I have sent my most recent log files to adobe tech support this morning. I have tried saving files on shared drives as well as on local drives. I have tried the same process on the other workstations with the same results.
Does anyone have ideas on how I can isolate a problem with the source file (structured doc) or on why FM is crashing when I perform these actions?
Thanks,
Gavin (Ryan)

When saving a file i don't see the progress

When saving Numbers files I use to see the progress of the save. I no longer see its progress. The files are being saved. Any reason why this is happening??
tj

I'm on OS X 10.7, your profile says you're on 10.6.8, so i can't duplicate what you are seeing. If I was to guess, I'd say it is related to changes made for Lion where versions are periodically saved automatically in the background, where you wouldn't want a progress window always popping up. "Save" has become "Save a Version" and, though I hadn't noticed, probably also does not pop up a progress window..

Excel Hangs when saving a file

Hi
When saving a file (CTRL+S) excel hangs, no error or anything.
This happens on Windows 8 PRO, on Win7 no problem at all.
Tried on EXCEL 2010 and EXCEL 2013 Customer Preview.
Checking the file after the app crash shows no file exists however 2 files exist instead:
*.TMP file
*.[NOTHING] file
The *.TMP is the new file i just saved, if I change it to *.XLSX it works fine, no curroption.
This was done saving on DESKTOP.
Since file was saved I assumed there is some kind of permission error so I changed the directory permission for "C:\Users\MYUSER\DESKTOP" to "EVERYONE".
With this setup excel saves without a problem....
I guess EXCEL tries to save under a different user which has no permission but why no error?
Any ideas?

Hi,
Check to see whether the user you logged on to the system has the permission to the file.
Also, check to see whether the following link is helpful:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271513
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313937
And, based on my research, hang when saving the file also maybe caused by a printer installation.

How automatically saving a copy when saving a file?

Hi,
For my pictures (RAW and PSD) I use a separate external disk, our Timecapsule would be full in a year. My work flow in copying is normally no problem. But of course now my iMac drive is 'broken' I find a few PSD-files not be copied to the external drive. I wondered, is there a simple way to automatically save a copy when saving a file (and replace an earlier version of the copy)?
Murk

Thanks. FWIW I'm very keen on improving tethering and lobbied Adobe endlessly until they added the overlay for shooting into layouts because it was a major reason why some of my clients were unable to switch to Lightroom from PhaseOne. But we have to be realistic and remember that tethering just isn't a key market for Adobe as it is for PhaseOne, so progress is painfully slow. For example, where is live view or setting exposure which are in PhaseOne? I'd be amazed if we get those features for a few versions, and that's why I point serious tethered shooters to other solutions. And realistically, assuming your understanding of the SDK is correct you shouldn't expect a change until the next full version of Lightroom. Good if it happens, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Kate and kwrite (14.12) selecting encoding when saving a file.

How can someone select encoding when saving a file?
Old save dialog:
New save dialog:

No, you can't.
It changes in what encoding a file is *shown*. It does not affect in what encoding a file is *saved*. I think it is a bug, or a forgotten feature. I've downgraded kate because of that(looks like only solution).
And there is the bug report I've reported about issue:

When saving a File OS Is Creating Multiple Folders With The Same File Name

Not sure what I changed but, now when I save a any file (ppt. word, Keynote,Pages e.g.,) to the desktop or any other location the OS will also create multiple file folders with the same file name as the file I'm saving. Inside the folders are what appears to be files locating the saved files. What can I do to fix this problem?

It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.
Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
Please advise.
it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case.
