SMB file name issue

I'm not sure if this is a "new" issue after upgrading to Server 10.5.6 or if it's been around and we've just noticed it. The issue is simple: if someone logs in via AFP and creates a file or renames it to something with a slash e.g. filename/08.txt, users logging in via SMB will NOT see that file at all. This applies to folders as well. At first I thought it was a permissions problem, but it's not.
If you log in via SMB and name a file with a slash, the AFP user will see a filename sans slash, e.g. filename/08.txt via smb becomes filename08.txt. BUT, if the AFP user tries to rename that file, the slash turns into a strange symbol.
Is this a bug? A feature? Do I need to tell my AFP users to stop using slashes in the filename? You'd think the server would make the filename translation more gracefully.

File Name Issues while on Network.

I have a Powermac G4 at my office and I am having a huge issue with file names that are on the network for my office. The mac is connected onto the network with dell servers running windows server 2003.
The problem I am having is that the Mac wont recognize any of the file names correctly. example, say i have a document title MACFORUM.docx now on any PC's in the office that name is displayed correctly. But on my mac it appears to be returned to something similar to the dos 8.3 naming convention. So what i see on screen is some like ~9535451.MAC. Obviously this is not a real file just an exmaple.
If any one could please shed some light on to why this would be happening i would really appreciate it.
Oh and some backround on the issue is that it just recently started happening after the install of adobe CS3. I have contacted adobe and it is not on there end and i have re-installed the software with no avail. so any one with any idea i greatly welcome it and apprec

How are you connecting to the server? Using Windows file sharing with an "smb" connection? Or does the server have file services for Macintosh enabled so you're connecting with an "afp" address? Do you see these file names in the Finder? Or are you seeing it the open/save dialog boxes in your Adobe programs?
We have lots of Macs at the office (most have 10.4.x but we're moving to 10.5.x) and we share Adobe files from Windows 2003 servers without a problem seeing the correct file names. So, I don't think you should have a problem like that.

File name issues

Hello,
I am new to Lightroom and I enjoy it a lot. However I have a problem with file names and I can't find the answer on the internet:
When I rename files with Fn + F2, the name sequences stack up and now I end up with incredibly long sequences including the date several times!
How do I reset the fine names so that I can have uniform sequences?
Thanks for your help!

About File Name Issue by Robocopy

Please kindly help as follows:
Due to I need to migrate the Data from Novell to Windows 2008 R2, I have some issue about robocopy.
My existing file include some long file / folder name and long file path. (More than 256 / 260 characters)
When I try to use robocopy copy the files, some of them show error and mentioned that it cannot locate the files. All of them are long file name.
I have tried to use "/256" and result is negative.
Meanwhile, I do not want to shorten the file / folder name or path.
If I would like to retain the same file / folder name and path, any suggestion?
Thank you!

Hi,
First you can test to use the \\?\ prefix and see if it can help accessing the path.
Also mapped drive can help workaround the long path.
For example, we have a folder d:\<248 characters>\folder\file.txt which over the 255 limits. However if we mapped "folder", which is under 255 limit, then we will have z:\file.txt, which
will be accessible.
Or creating a junction point can also help workaround this issue. For example, the folder path is c:\<240characters>\<40characters>\file.txt, we can create a folder c:\junction
which point to c:\<240characters>.

File name issues with Relocated Masters

I am relocating Master Images from my Managed Aperture Library on my internal disk to a Referenced Library on an external hard drive. Everything in my efforts has run smoothly, except the names of the files that are showing up in my referenced folders on the external drive.
I am setting a folder hierarchy, and this is working fine. For the file names, I am choosing the Version Name. This is where I am having a problem. Only some of the images are relocating with the Version Name. The others are relocating with the Master File Name instead.
Why won't my images transfer over with the names that I am instructing Aperture to transfer them as?

below is my code
String Outputfile = "";
try {
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String filename = a+b+c;

}catch (java.lang.NullPointerException e) {
Outputfile = "FileName";
return Outputfile;
any idea.. guyz.. why its creating 1 file always.. do i need to change anything in my code???

Hi,
If it is an array (see whetehr you are having String[] in the udf declaration part) then you can access the elements inside it by a[0] or a[1] etc...
Do a display queue for the three input nodes of the UDF and see where the values are. If there is single value it shoudl be a[0], b[0] and c[0]

File Adapter - Archived file name issue

Hello all.
I am using an 11g composite application to read from the file system and move/archive the files to a "Backup" subdirectory. Everything works well, but the archived file name has the original filename plus an extra long guid. E.g.
File_1.DAT_156dsfsdgw67rqwedb1c6b54d6fh7yerfa16wewet168erw)-dsfsdg
Does anyone know how I can control the archiving feature of the file read adapter? I would love for it to just move the file to the Backup folder and keep the original filename.
I look forward to a response.
Thank you.
Nick G.

Thank you Sahil. I will look into it and test. I will post my results.

File name issue

Hi All,
My scenario is :
1. SAP (sender ) sends file name to BPM(e.g myfile1.txt)
2.BPM sends the same file name (e.g myfile1.txt) to a HTTP reciever.
3.Http receiver then responses with a file(around 30mb size of file)
4.Then the file can be send to a file system
I need to save the file in the file system with the same file name (e.g:myfile1.txt) which is requested in http request(e.g myfile1.txt). How can configure file adapter to achive this?
Regards,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
BY using the option of Variable subtitution in Receiver File Adapter CC, you can achieve this with the refrence of your paylaod and message.If the file name holding in the payload you can give the refrence of your structure which field is exactly holding the file name value.
refer the following weblogs , how to use the Variable subtitution
/people/sameer.shadab/blog/2005/09/23/an-interesting-usage-of-variable-substitution-in-xi
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12
Hope it will give an idea to get the same filename which is coming from HTTP response.
Cheers

Batch Convert PowerPoint to Movies file name issue

I need to batch convert powerpoint presentations to movie. But the save option forces me to use the same name on every movie. I want it to just save the presentation with the same file name. So if the powerpoint is:
MyPresentation.ppt
then the movie should be
MyPresentation.mov
How can I do this?
Here is a screenshot of the workflow.

Okay, so I tried ditching automator and doing the convert movie parts via applescript. This is what I tried but it gives me an automator error -212 (apparently on the first "perform action") saying "expected end of line, found property":
Any ideas on how to get the script to work with autmator (I tested a modified version of this script outside autmator and it does work for a single file).

Very Strange AFP/SMB file service issue, slow, intermittent connections.

There's a bit of a saga to this, so please stay with me.
X-Serve G5, first loaded with 10.3.2, and over 2 years upgraded to 10.3.9. All the server has ever done is be a standalone file server to Mac only. There is no AD/OD intergration, or any fancy stuff about it, its just a dumb file server, serving Macs.
Recently we decided to put in a larger raid, and some new G5's, both PPC and Intel, and upgrade all the other G5's to 10.4. At the same time we thought we'd upgrade teh server OS to 10.4, so we had a full 10.4 site.
All updates went well, apart from the server. As soon as we started running 10.4 the server connections were really slow, and basically unworkable. I came on here and found little tweaks to do as other users were having similar problems, but with much more complex set-ups. The most puzzling thing was the apparent local caching issue.
If i copy a 50mg file/folder via either afp or smb, whatever happens the first time is longer, eg 1st 43s, 2nd 2sec, 3rd 2sec,, then re-boot, and its back to the same thing. If you disconnect, and secure empty trash you get the same thing.
Maybe more of an eye opener is a 110mb file/folder, 1st 75Sec, 2nd 38Sec, 3rd 32Sec.
Now i've given up and done a clean istall back to 10.3.9 on a seperate partition, and its instantly quicker in everything. eg. 50MB 1st AFP 5 Sec, 2nd AFP 5 Sec, 3rd SMB, 5 Sec, 110MB 1st AFP 9 Sec, 2nd AFP 9 Sec.
So i've fixed it, but by having to retrograde the OS back to 10.3.9. We don't use apple talk, only IP, we have no network issues, and spanning tree, etc, can't be the issue as it only affect appletalk!.
If i get a minute i'll do a clean install on 10.4, to see if the problem was the upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4..
Just wondered if anyone has had a similar experience, ot hoping that it may help someone in a similar situation. All i can think is maybe ACL's were the issue, or a newer/different version of AFP.
The new raid system showed the same throughput/connection speed on both OS', and the same network load, etc, is also on both OS', they were also not maxxed out, and the afp daemon wasn't eating CPU.

Retrograded back to 10.3.9, all works fine now!?!?!?!?

IMovie File Name Issues

I am creating a slideshow in iMove 9.0.2 by taking RAW photo files, converting them to JPEG's in Aperture 3, then dragging the JPEG's into an iMovie project. I deleted a photo from the iMovie slideshow project by selecting the thumbnail in the project, then hitting the Delete button. I also deleted the source photo from Aperture.
I then took the master RAW file of the deleted photo, gave it a different name, then assigned another RAW photo file the same name as the original deleted file. Imported the new photo into Aperture, and dragged it into iMovie. Instead of the new photo appearing in the project, iMovie still displays the old photo. When I perform a "Control/Reveal In Finder" command on the incorrect thumbnail in iMovie, it leads to the proper photo in the Finder. Aperture is also correct. Only iMovie is having issues. Is there any way to correct this prolem?

First a basic question: Is the external drive formatted as Mac OS Extended?
iMovie can't properly save to other formats and you may have trouble copying files via the Finder, too, if the drive is not Mac OS Extended.
iMovie HD now stores its project folder as a "package". You can see the old iMovie 1-4-style folder structure by control-clicking (or right-clicking) the project package. Maybe the offending file is hiding there. ...but you really should not change the filenames -- the project should copy without such tweaks!!

Guess it's *nix SMB implementation issue and has nothing to do with Windows. And you can do nothing to tune the SMB except downgrading initial handshake version (what you already did).

Hi,
Above all please make sure it is caused by SMB. Sometimes network issue could also be caused by hardware configuration or limitation.
Incase is related to SMB version please test to disable SMB2 to see if SMB1 works fine or not.
Also here is a forum FAQ article which could help troubleshoot general SMB related issue. Please see the troubleshooting process:
