Simple File Dialog Question

Using LabView 6i:
When I display the output of the File Dialog all I see is the path to the
folder containing the selected file and not the name of the selected file.
How do I get the name of the selected file?
Thanks
TP

TP;
Are you sure you don't get the name of the file? Make sure the path indicator in the front panel is long enough. If the path string do not fit completely in the indicator, it will look truncated.

Simple File Adapter Question [ XSD validity ? ]

Imported an XSD into JD 101333. [ several large, known as good, used in Biztalk etc ]
tried to make ESB inbound adapter
spent ages trying to find out why it wouldn't accept it [ then I found a tiny tiny paragraph in the manual stating it must have a namespace ? why , honestly who cares ]
2nd ; still won't validate, now it says "Invalid Reference" .. Which log setting do I switch on in Jdeveloper to see why it's throwing a hissy fit ?
Note : this is a known good set of XSDs and is in use production ; for it not to import into JD is a major drawback to the people I'm evaluating BPEL/ESB for... so please help.

2nd problem found .
The XSD elements use a ref:
e.g.
<xs:element ref="MyMessageType"/>
the solution is to add
targetNamespace="http://my.validators.com/msgs"
xmlns:pv="http://my.validators.com/msgs"
in the schemadef
now replace the xs:element with
<xs:element ref="pv:MyMessageType"/>
In all honesty where is this written in the manuals ? It's a fair question.
Added to that you have NO hint as to what is wrong ; I had to deconstruct about 3000 lines of XSD to find the problem. since if you use "Validate XML" in Jdeveloper it works just fine.
Massive hole guys.

Simple file import question

I just installed Lr4 on my laptop. When I plug in my Nikon D7000 and try to import photos, I just get a message "The following files could not be imported because they could not be read". Then it lists the file names of the various files. Message displays regardless if I try .NEF or .JPEG files. The photos appear in the library module, so I know Lr is pulling them from the correct place (camera). When I plug the camera into my desktop PC where I also have Lr installed, all works fine. Help!

Sounds like a hardware problem, if the desktop reads things fine.

Simple file placement question.

I have a situation where after the WAR file is deployed, PDF files will be added to the site that need to be accessable (their URL will be known) from the web. Where should these PDF files be put?
For example, after the web app is deployed, a new PDF file called test1.pdf is created that needs to be accessable from my web site. Under what directory should test1.pdf be placed?
The layout I have is:
SunAppServer8
----domains
--------testdomain
------------applications
THANKS!

Simple file sharing question. Bug?

How do I simply add or edit a file using File Sharing or FTP to the Sites directory to serve a web page?
In Snow Leopard I was able to edit a page from another Mac and save the file. In Lion any pages edited via File Sharing/FTP cannot be displayed any more.
If I edit the page locally the page saves and can be displayed.
If I edit the page via File Sharing/FTP (logging on as the same user) a permissions error is displayed in the browser.

Automation Question: How do I work with an open 'upload file' dialog?

Preamble:
Was a very experienced VBS automation guy, this is my first emersion into the wonderful world of C# automation. Using Selenium WebDiver, I have successfully logged into a web page, filled out a few web forms, clicked on the 'add image' button and am
now faced with an open 'upload file' dialog. Pretty sure the namespace I need is system.windows.forms.OpenFileDialog so added the reference to my project.
Question:
All the examples on the web seem to relate to app development and not test automation. But, I need to automate this web application and all that's left is the image upload. What do I do when faced with an
already opened 'upload file' dialog? I know the image and path, how do I automate the process of placing the full path into the dialog and clicking the OK button or alternately, enter key?
Thank you!

I doubt that you need System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog, the browser isn't written using WinForms and that dialog is a Win32 native dialog.
Maybe you should post this in the Selenium Users
group? It has little to do with C#, it's more about how Selenium interacts with the browser.

Does simple file and folder sharing on an iMac work with OSX Server?

Hi There
I wonder if I should install OSX Server on an iMac wher several users work on the same files and folders.
My question - before I do something I might regret:
Does simple file and folder sharing on an iMac within several users really work with the help of OSX Server?
All I want to be able to do:
Admin creates a new folder1 and gives it read- and write access for user1 and user2.
User1 creates a subfolder1 in folder1, and a document1 in subfolder1.
User2 edits document1. Later Admin edits document1.
All these simple editing of files and folders (and subfolders) within a main folder should be possible. This is not possible now.
Is everything clear? I'm not a network specialist or something, I just want to give some co-workers access to some data on my computer without problems.

So what you need are recursive permissions.
I suggest you create a group and add user1 and user2 to that group. You can name that group whatever you want, but for now i will call it FSUsers
Execute this in terminal. Replace FSUsers with your new group
sudo chmod -R +a "FSUsers allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextat tr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/*
Replace /Users/Shared with the location of your shared folder. Make sure you keep the /* at the end (this allows all subfolders and files to get the same permissions.
If you need to add people to the share just add them to the FSUsers group, the FSUsers group should should also be allowed in the sharing preferences.

File dialog with multiple custom patterns

I am in need of being able to user select multple file patterns (*.bin, *.exe...) in a file dialosg similar to the express File Dialog VI where it lists the directory and allows the user to select multiple files from a windows dir listing. The express VI has a patterns input that takes multiple patterns separated by a semimcolon but there appears to not be a way of providing a ring control for file type and letting the user select the pattern that he wants to filter the directory listing with. I.E> > If the user wants to only load files that are *.bin, he only wants to view them in the listing. How can I do this without mutliple dialog boxes?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Off-the-shelf might be something like a list box that allows multiple selections. Or you could drop a cluster of booleans on the FP and parse the selected file types and place ;'s between them. You could have multiple string controls that the user inputs the file extension and then you programmatically insert a ; I can't think of something off-the-shelf that easily does what you are looking for, these suggestions require a little bit of programming but should get you off to a good start at least.
This is the approach for choosing any desired types from a list. If you want to choose only one, use a ring or combo box or enum... Much simpler when only choosing one of many.

Open File dialog window when setting the value of a path type input argument in a VI call

Hi,
I am new to TestStand (running 4.0) and I want to create a sequence of VIs to turn on, setup and measure a device. One of my VIs sends a configuration file to my device. An input argument to this VI is the path of the config file. I would like to make it simple to modify this path when setting up the sequence by popping up the File Open dialog window and choose my file. Is this possible? I do not want to manually change the file during execution, just to have multiple calls of one VI, each call opening a different file according to the path given to it during the setup.
So far I have only succeeded in manually entering the absolute path each time I add this step. What makes it even more annoying is the fact that LabVIEW interprets the path with the escape codes, rendering the path unusable. Manually adding a 2nd backslash at each '\' occurence adds another step to the process. I tried both String and Path type of inputs, and the SearchandReplace() or ToUpper() (trying to bypass the escape codes) functions in TestStand don't seem to help m.
Your help is very much appreciated,
Fred

Eudaemonic,
If you want to create a series of easy to configure step types so others can develop sequence files easily, you could use custom step types. When you create a custom step type you implement your own configuration dialog. Since you have control over what controls you expose in your configuration dialog, you can design it so the desired path is selected using a open file dialog. Refer to chapter 13 of the TestStand reference manual for more information about custom step types.
If you do not want to create a custom step type but you still want to give access to your sequence developers to pre-configured steps, you can use templates. A step template is a snapshot of a step that you can reuse later. Let's assume that instead of asking your users to edit the step to enter the desired path, you create several step templates with different pre-configured paths and based on their applications requirements they could use the appropriate template. Refer to the NI TestStand Help for more information about the Templates list on the Insertion Palette.
Hope it helps.
Antonio Lie.

Please fix: Common Open File Dialog Box to support Favorites (Follow-up: Better provisioning in the Windows client)

One more thing:
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.
Please obsolete or (re)develop components in Windows, so those components support any new workflows in Windows!
On example of an application where you cannot use Favorites is Adobe Photoshop. It uses the Common Open File Dialog Box in Windows (which does not support Favorites).
Comparing Finder (MacOS) with Windows Explorer - you "seem" to have the option of using favorites to pin folders.
Well, if your application calls Windows to use the Common Open File Dialog Box - it's actually NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL to navigate to the user concepts (user folders) pinned to favorites.
Again, the favorites namespace is completely unused (not provisioned) out-of-the-box. That's may be ok, however it's not fully implemented across Windows and just another example of stuff accumulating up to being unusable.
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.

File dialog box: how get full path and filename (firefox 3.0 problem)

Hi,
I have a smilar problem then discussed in this thread: file dialog box: how get full path and filename
Now this solution doesn't seem to work in firefox 3.0,I only get the filename but not the full path.
I have tried to solve this problem by adding *"netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalFileRead");"* in a javacript function but that doesn't do the trick
Although when i tested it local it does work.
Any idees how to solve this?
Best Regards
Stijn

Actually, that is strange and scarry. With 20% of the browser market share they decide to behave like Microsoft did in the past - they want to decide what users need and what they do not need. With 3.0 I have a real problem with some of my applications. They are all tested in IE6, IE7, FF2.0 and they all work the same way (they even work with Opera and Safari). Now, I will for sure not go there and make it work for 3.0, just because 2 out of 200 users use FF3.0. Up to now I have always recomended FF as the best browser. 3.0 causes my opinion to change completely. Competition is always good but it is a question if it is good if we have 20 different browsers out there with equal market shares.

Finder in Save file dialog Safari crash

Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard at launch, Safari 4 doesn't seem to like me searching in the save file dialog box. It doesn't seem to matter whether or not I actually save the file, and I made a screen recording to show what happens here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFKkPI2vGr8
I've reset Safari, and I repaired my disk permissions after loading up Snow Leopard. What gives? This is really annoying when I want to get to a folder fast, and dragging and dropping image files to folders seems to cause them to open in different Preview windows (or not even open at all).
Any help would be much appreciated. This is seriously making me consider going back to Firefox or just going with Chrome - this crash doesn't happen with either of them!

The problems are caused by third party input managers/enhancers that have not yet been updated by their developers to comply with the standards used by Safari 3.2.1. and/or Safari 4.
In your case these are:
com.zang.RegexKit 0.6.0 (0.6.0) <71374A4A-3B24-4759-E994-AB9E135345CB> /Library/InputManagers/Safari AdBlock/Safari AdBlock Loader.bundle/Contents/PlugIns/Safari AdBlock.bundle/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/RegexKit.framework/Versions/A/Regex Kit
You fill find them in one or either of these folders:
Home/Library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/Library/Application Support
although the exact location is indicated in your crash report as quoted above - look under 'Binary Images'.
Close Safari and delete them, then restart Safari and it should be working normally. Alternatively drag them to the desktop and restart Safari. then add them back one at a time, restarting Safari every time, until you find the one (or more) causing the crash.
Check with the developers of the plug-ins in question for updates that are Safari 4 compliant.

Infinite Beachball when Open/Place File Dialog is Called

(Apologies on the novel below. If it helps a soul out there from a descent into madness, well, at least one of us got out okay.)
I am having a heck of a morning that is bleeding over from last night (and it has nothing to do with Mardi Gras time in New Orleans). I have recently set up my laptop (a new MBP) with Yosemite and AICS 5.1 and 6 (haven't yet made the move to subscription CC). I use the laptop at my office, where we have a simple network (one router, a switch, and several NAS drives). All day yesterday I worked on the system and had no issues. I took the computer home (another simple network with router, switch, nas drive) and whenever I attempted to either Place a file into an existing document or Open a file from within Illustrator the file dialog window would open. However, even though the window would indicate the Desktop directory was being accessed, the list of files would not populate and, after a couple seconds, the cursor would beachball forever. Uncertain to its reason, I attempted several remedies (cleaning font cache, uninstalling a couple system preference panes, paring down font menu, removing sidebar items, deleting all preferences, making changes to Dropbox settings). The only thing that worked in getting the dialogs not to beachball was to install a temporary user account and load AI from there (not a practical solution, ultimately). Also, it is important to note, this Open/Place problem occurs in AICS5.1 as well as AICS6. Things that do work regarding file access: if I Save a file from within AI the file dialog comes up and no problem. If I double-click or otherwise open a file from the Finder or a search utility the document will open.
This morning I brought my computer to work and attempted the Place command. The window opened and paused, and then a curious thing happened. I heard my NAS awaken. After several seconds, the dialog window populated, and all was righted. I could Open and Place files with no issue. The three network shares that I have at the office all reconnected (I had disconnected from all of them before quitting the network last night).
At this point, my hypothesis is that AI was having some trouble with network shares and even though I had unmounted the shares AI was still remembering them (and having trouble letting go). To test this, I loaded AI with the shares mounted, quit AI, and then unmounted the shares. I then disconnected from the network and loaded AI. Attempting the Place command in a new document brought up the dialog window and directory file list (!). I then pressed [CMD] + D to get to the desktop files/shortcut folders and wham -- infinite beachball!
My desktop has a bunch of helpful aliases for navigating local and network shares. There are links to my Dropbox folder, my client art folder, a screenshot folder, and four links to network shares. I made these shortcuts by mounting the share, going up a level in the root directory, and option-commanding the share over to the desktop. I don't know if this is a good or holy way to do it, but it's the way I've been doing it on 10.6.8. In any case, I took all of the icons on the desktop and threw them in a temp holding folder. I then loaded AI, new document, Place, go to Desktop directory -- no beachball. Open the temp folder, infinite beachball, force quit. Create a subfolder within the temp folder. Put all the network share aliases in there. AI, New, Place, Desktop directory (ok), temp directory (ok), subfolder (beachball party), force quit.
Mind you, this is all with the network disconnected. When I get info any of the aliases the Finder beachballs!! After a few seconds, though, the Finder begrudgingly allows me to see the file information.
So, there's something screwy with the way those aliases are behaving. When they are 'looked at' by the AI file dialog (or the Finder) the system wants to reach out and touch them, say hello. The Finder, although flummoxed, eventually regains composure and shakes off the hang. AI, however, can't break free.
The temporary way forward, I suppose, is to remove those aliases from the Desktop and put them in a safe, out of the way place. I will probably create a few AppleScripts or Automator apps in their stead for mounting NAS shares, and assign to function keys. Hopefully someone out there with bigger lightbulbs over their head can shed some light on the problem and offer other suggestions for a more robust fix. In any case, it's probably a Yosemite problem, given the Finder's odd behavior.
Cheers!

File dialog problems

When I try to place a file, the file dialog box closes automatically before I have a chance to find my file. Seems like a bug. Had to switch back to CS6. That's two problems now! AE CC is unusable too!

There was no question in your post. Do you seek any assistance?
To place files, you can also drag 'n drop.
About the self-closing dialog window - is your mouse/keyboard perhaps faulty?

File dialog in jsf form problem

Dear community,
I created a form with several input text fields, one of which is to input a filename to attach a file to a form entry. This field has a button next to it which pops up a file dialog. My problem is if I set the button's immediate property to true all the other inputs get lost when the response is rendered. If I set immediate to false other required input fields have to be entered before I can open the file dialog.
Can anybody please help me out here?
Thanks,
Achim

Hi Achim,
Did you figure out the answer to your question? I am having the same problem.
Thanks. -Ceily
