[SOLVED] Abstract layer on top of folder

Hi, I want to create an abstract layer on top of a folder, so that if a program tries to change/create/delete a file inside the folder, the original folder/file stays untouched and the changes are written to a different location. If the program tries to read the changed file, the layer should provide the changed file, not the original file. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.
Look into aufs as well. It originally stood for "another union FS".

Unable to create Business Layer on top of SAP BW OLAP Connection - BI 4.0

Friends,
Need an useful information, why can't we create a business layer on top of SAP BW OLAP connection which is built with BICS driver.
Today when i tried to create a business layer in IDT tool of BI 4.0 it didnt allow me to do so. Is it a s/w bug or am i following a wrong approach. I do know, we can create a .unx universe through relational connection. But i dont want that, please provide your input.
thanks,
Tilak

Hi,
this question has been asked many times before, so a search will reveal your answer.
as the warning told you when you tried the workflow in IDT - business layers aren't supported for Bics connections - i.e. you can't create a UNX ontop of Bex using BICS..
unfrotunately, it was a strategic product decision that seemingly can't be reversed/influenced, despite the inherent problems this causes.
There are lots of requests for this feature to be restored, on the Ideas Place here: https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/community/ideas/businessanalytics/sbosemanticlayer

Sorry, I can't help you.
It's been too long since I have used SoapUI.
What is "getAttribute"?
It is not a SOAP request.
I also do know what "www.novell.com/vdx/service" is.

Adding permissions at top level folder

Let's say your top-level folder is d:\filestore\ You add Domain Admins to it with Full Control.
If the sub-folders have maintained inheritance of the perms from that folder then you're good.
However, if any of the subfolders have broken permissions, either by removing all permission and adding new ones or by copying the permissions and adding additional ones, then you're kinda screwed. Enforcing inheritance of the perms from your top level folder on that mess will almost certainly obliterate the existing permissions.
If you're semi-lucky you might be get away with finding a number of folders that you can apply the perms to that will then propagate to the rest.
If you're really unlucky, and it sounds like you are, then you may have to apply the permissions to many individual folders.

I have just migrated to a new 2012 R2 server and have my AD and file server on separate VM's. The previous server had the local Administrators group listed, but now I need to add the Domain Admins group to the top level of the folder tree and have that pass down throughout all other folders. But I don't want it to overwrite the existing permissions. Is there any way to do this?
The folder structure is insane and I want to redo it a better way, but that will take time and the OK from management. There are so many "individual" users added to many folders that it is currently impossible to keep track of.

How to Delete Top Level Folder

I have a number of files in a hierarchy of folders and I wish to delete the top level folder but leave in place all the sub folders and files contained therein. There are only folders (no files) under the top level folder. Specifically, I do not want to just select and drag and drop all the subfolders.
Any help on how to do this appreciated.

First, to clarify the term - there are traditional VS projects (C# project, VB project, etc.) and with Team Foundation there are now Team Projects. Given the question, I take it you mean team projects (as created with the "New Team Project" option and going through the Project Creation Wizard).
When you create a team project called "foo", the folder for that project (assuming you had it create a folder during the Project Creation Wizard, which is the default) will be called $/foo. Based on your question, I take it you're referring to a folder called "bar" that would be at server path $/foo/bar since it's part of the "foo" team project.
The easiest way to rename or delete such a folder would be to bring up the Source Control Explorer (View | Other Windows | Source Control Explorer) and navigate to that folder. You'll want to make sure that you have the folder in your local workspace (this is a limitation when have in V1) so you may want to right-click on "bar" and do a "get latest version" first. If you don't already have it mapped, you'll be prompt to pick a local path to map it to.
When you right-click on the folder "bar" (once you have it in your workspace), among the entries in the context menu will be Delete, Rename (for the "rename to oranges" case), and Move (for "move it to another folder"). Note that each of these pends the operation on the workspace, and you'll need to check in before the change is committed to source control.

Like SWT and jface: does Javafx2 comes with a layer on top of it

Hi there,
i would like to know if like SWT that comes a long Jface as a layer on top for easy, structured, and design pattern based programing, JavaFX 2 also comes along a layer on top of iT?

Also, please note that I'm trying to AVOID using Canvas. I'm looking for a way to do what I've described using the high-level APIs (i.e. forms, lists, etc.)

Simple script that will export the coordinates (layer bounds - top left x,y)

Hi,
I'm looking for a simple script that will export the coordinates (layer bounds - top left x,y) of the layers to an seperate xml/txt file.

Your screen capture looks like it's from Photoshop.
In InDesign sub layers are page items, the containing layer has no dimension. So you could get all the page item's x, y, width, height. But you might have to consider groups and then the layering could be very complex. The stacking order could also get complex. Page items have an index, but it's relative to its parent container.

Deleted My Top Rated Folder

I accidently deleted My Top Rated Folder on my laptop library. How can I recreate it? Please help. Thanks.

In iTunes at the top hit File>New Smart Playlist. Check "Match Following Rule" then make the rule as "My Rating" "Is Greater Than" "3 Starts". Uncheck "Limit To" and "Match Only Checked Songs" then put a check beside Live updating

CS3 Layer Comp not hold Folder Opacity

I recently installed CS3 and have noticed something that I believe was working fine in CS2. I create a folder with some layers in it and change the opacity of the folder to something other than 100% (say 30%). I then create a layer comp with the folder at 30% (called '30') and another layer comp with everything at 100% (called 'Normal'). If I click on 'Normal' and then back to '30', the opacity of the folder is NOT retained in the '30' layer comp?
Am I doing something wrong? I could have sworn that this worked in CS2 because I use this feature with some frequency. The layer comp feature should retain all layer related settings, in my opinion.
Does anyone have a similar experience and a method to get this to work properly? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Christoph, that did the trick. I'll try to open my eyes the next time. ;-)
Actually, I don't remember that option in CS2, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there.
Thanks.

Use a text layer on top of another text layer as a clipping mask?

I have searched and searched but I can not find an answer to this question. I've been creating a variety of graphic styles to use in illustrator. The appearance panel is an AMAZING tool but one function seems to be missing. I would very much like to use two identical layers of text to create a clipping layer within a graphic style. The reason I would like to do this is to create the illusion of beveling or just just to create an inner shadow without having to create highlights and shadows manually. As you can see in the attachment the Toony Toons Text has a highlight effect which I created by duplicating the text, removing the effects from the graphic style I made, expanding the words into outlines, overlapping the two and placing them offset of each other so I could shape subtract them and then placing the final highlight on top of the text. This would be SOOO much simpler if I could just create a stroke that sets INSIDE the text and could be offset as well as clipped by the text layer below it. Is this possible? I noticed I can't place a stroke on the inside of a text layer when I'm in the appearance pallet and masking text with text doesn't seem to work. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions that would be really great!

A Google search phrase that includes the word InDesign finds results in Adobe user forums like this one, as well as in InDesign resources all over the Internet.

How to move all files to the top level folder?

I want to move all files within a particular folder -- and all files in all sub folders -- to the top level. i.e. I want to collapse the folder structure to just one folder. Assume that there are no files with the same name.
*Method 1*
My first thought was to use Find:
1. Limit Find to the particular folder.
2. Find all files in the folder with Size > 0.
3. Switch to List view. All files are listed.
4. Select all files and drag to the top folder
5. Delete all sub folders manually.
Problem: Pages files are not found, and maybe others aren't.
This is a simple method and I'd like to stick with it.
*QUES 1*
What condition should I set within Find so that I can be guaranteed of finding all files?
*Method 2*
It was suggested in another thread that I use Terminal to move all files to the top level, but I couldn't get it to work. And there was a problem with files that consist of bundles.
*QUES 2*
What is the easiest way to consolidate all files within a folder to the top level -- assume no duplicate names -- and at the same time remove all sub folders?

Thanks for the suggestion of EasyFind.
To find all files in a certain folder I typed in *[a-z 0-9] as a Boolean search (this thread won't let me post the exact characters required by EasyFind). That should cover every file I've ever named. EasyFind came back with "11719found/12316done".
Any idea what the missing 500 files would be? I'm hoping they are files that I don't need to know about (invisible files, system files and so on).
