[SOLVED]How do I deal with non-unicode filenames inside archives?

I often get archives from Japanese Windows users with file names encoded in one of the myriad of Japanese character sets. Windows is pretty good about converting the filename to unicode before passing it on to any program or computer that expects it. However, it won't touch the filenames of things inside the archive for obvious reasons. Any way to make, say, unzip or 7z convert the filenames to unicode as they're extracted? At the moment I run Windows in Virtualbox and connect back to a shared folder and let Windows do the unzipping.

I don't know if there's any advancement WRT this, but there's a work-around here (under "UnZip Locale Issues" ) using convmv.

How can I deal with case-sensitive filenames referred to inconsistently inside other files?

I have downloaded into Dreamweaver an existing web site that I'll be taking over from someone else. The site was built with Microsoft Front Page and apparently now runs on a Windows web server. While redesigning the site, I'd like to upload it to a web server belonging to me, where I can maintain a work in progress that is accessible to others (so they can give me input as I go along). But my site is running on a Unix system, where filenames are case-sensitive.
In the site I've inherited, I've discovered at least one file that is referred to in other files sometimes with one character in upper case and other places in all lower-case. The actual filename contains the upper case character and locally, on my Windows system, it doesn't matter. But on the server the file is not found when it is referenced in all lower-case.
Of course, I can create an all lower-case symlink on my Unix server for the mixed-case file that I know about. But I don't want to look through every file on the site for other files which may vary, case-wise, in how they are referenced. Is there any way that Dreamweaver can help me; for example, by going through and changing all mixed-case filename references inside files, to be consistent with the actual filenames?
I know this is a lot to ask of Dreamweaver and I'm not optimistic. But if anyone knows of a solution, I'd appreciate it.

he means that if you use the file > find function
(on windows this can be called upoon using CTRL + F)
you will be able to go through all the files which are cauing you a problem and change their names so that they are all in the same case
be warned thou
if case sensitivity is your problem,
and
if some code references to your files are written in one case and some are written in the other case, simply changeing the case of the file names will not help.
what you are trying to do will only work if
> ALL of the file names are in one case
or
> ALL of the files names are the same case
bcause this will mean you can change the one which does not always match using CTRL + F
if there is a mix and match on both sides then you are in for a lot of work, if this problem involves multiple names then i would advise you to simply start over!

How do I deal with "non match"pictures?

I have a folder that is supposed to keep pictures of my wife only. However these pictures have been joined by others that bear tags for other folders.
In the left top corner of these "trespassing" pictures there is a circle with a line through it titled "non match"
How can I stop this happening please?
Cliff

Cliffie,
Make sure that youve deselected Options > Show results that do not match in the Find bar (the third line from the top of the Organizer screen). If that doesnt work, then read this thread:

How should I deal with it in the BMM Layer

Hi all,
I need a suggestion in a problem.
Here is the scenario,
In the physical layer, There are some fact to fact joins.
ProductFact ----< PolicyFact ----< PolicyCoverFact ----< ClaimFact ----< ClaimPaymentFact ----< CorrespondenceFact
There are some conformed dimension tables given below
Geography is joined to ProductFact, ClaimFact
Organisation is joined to PolicyCoverFact, CorrespondenceFact
Currency is joined to PolicyFact, ClaimPaymentFact
Also there are non-conformed dimensions such as,
ProductType is joined to ProductFact
PolicyCoverType is joined to PolicyCoverFact
and there are many more......What I know is when there are fact to fact joins, we should make a logical table in the BMM layer and add both fact tables to the same LTS, But in this case, almost all the fact tables are joined directly.
How should I deal with these fact to fact joins in the BMM layer? Any suggestions?

I have to create many LTS for the fact table......
1 LTS for ProductFact
1 LTS for ProductFact & PolicyFact (which contain ProductFact and PolicyFact as sources)
1 LTS for ProductFact , PolicyFact & PolicyCoverFact ........
and so on.....
have I understood correctly? Is that what you mean?Yes, the reason why I said to "keep" the firsts fact table in each source is to make the dimension work.
For example, if the "product dimension" is only linked to "product fact", but not "policy fact" then you won't be able to do a report based on "product dimension" and "policy fact". Right ? To be able to do this report, OBIEE must do a join with "product fact" (this fact table become an intersection table). That's why you will add product fact in the "policy fact" source. Same for others source.
But the name of "ProductFact & PolicyFact" source can be "policy fact". Because each row of this source is a policy fact.
For the 3rd table, each row is a "policy cover fact". But to be able to join with "product dimension" and "policy dimension", you need to integrate "policy fact" and "product fact" tables in the logical source.
and so on.

Dealing with non-square pixels from video capture (CS3)

Hi all,
This is the problem I have : I watch a video on my PC using any utility such as, for example, CyberLink's PowerDVD. I pause the movie to capture a frame to the Clipboard, then I paste it into PS CS3 via a newly created document.
Because the movie was shot and recorded on the DVD in widescreen format, therefore using non-square pixels (wider than they are tall), the still image in PS appears "shrunk" horizontally. I then go to Image|Pixel Aspect Ratio and set the ratio to, say, "D1/DV PAL Widescreen (1.42)", as I am in PAL-land. The still image now looks fine, and I can save it, for example in TIFF format ; it will retain its "non-square pixel" attribute, with the black bands on top and at the bottom.
However, what I utimately want to do is use that still image on the Web, so I need to save it as a JPEG image, and this is where the problem happens : the JPEG conversion reverts those pixels to square ones, whether I use the "Save for Web and Devices..." option, or just the "Save As..." one.
How can I turn my very heavy TIFF into a much leaner JPEG, while retaining the non-square pixels that give the image its correct proportions ? Is there a way around this problem ?
I'm not used to dealing with non-square pixel images, so any help and tip will be greatly appreciated. Many thaks in advance.
Dominic.

As Zeno said, you can simply copy&paste. Also, there is always an equivalent square pixel format for each anamorphic format that can fully accommodate the image, which would be 1024x576 for PAL widescreen. For more info on PAR conversions, I recomemnd you do some reading in the online help files for After Effects or Premiere Pro.

Dealing with non-database elements!!

hi all, i knew that i have to deal with non-database elements from javascript code and not from SQL code.. but i need to do some processing from SQL code and then update non-database element, how could i do this??

You should use <?if:element = ''?> or <?if:element != ''?>
This should work also:
<?if:text(element)?> or <?if:not(text(element))?>
The condition is always true (false) when either the element is empty or does not
exist. Let me know, if you need to differentiate between both (probably using name() instead of text will work in this case).
If a pagebreak is inside the if statement than it is only shown when the condition is satisfied.
Hope that helps,
Klaus

You cannot connect to TC using USB.
Plug the TC into the computer using ethernet.
Press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec.. until front led rapidly flashes.. release it.
Open the airport utility and make sure you can locate the TC. Check the disk page that the disk started up without errors.

How can I deal with long sql by the oo4o?

I am using VB and oo4o to develop a sql executor which is a extention of an old system.
For some reason, I have to use oo4o v8.1.7 to deal with Oracle Database 8i to 11g.
But when I send a very long sql(11KB) to it I got a error in the VB enviroment.
The Err.Description is "automention error. Started object is disconnected by the client.".
The Err.Number is "-2147417848 ".
The sql that I send it to the program is a simple select sql that like select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 2, 3) .... from A_TBL where A=aa;
This sql is normally executed by the sqlplus but I got an error by the oo4o.
When I insert a '' between the 30Xth items, it got exectuted normally.
ex. select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 1, 2) ..... substrb(303th, 3, 4), '', substrb(304th, 1, 2) ... from A_TBL where A = aa;
How can I deal with this problem? Thanks.

So how can use this function correctly?By learning what exceptions are, how they're used, and what you can do to deal with them. There's a tutorial here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.htmlAnd here's a quick overview:
The base class for all exceptions is Throwable. Java provides Exception and Error that extend Throwable. RuntimeException (and many others) extend Exception.
RuntimeException and its descendants, and Error and its descendants, are called unchecked exceptions. Everything else is a checked exception.
If your method, or any method it calls, can throw a checked exception, then your method must either catch that exception, or declare that your method throws that exception. This way, when I call your method, I know at compile time what can possibly go wrong and I can decide whether to handle it or just bubble it up to my caller. Catching a given exception also catches all that exception's descendants. Declaring that you throw a given exception means that you might throw that exception or any of its descendants.
Unchecked exceptions (RuntimeException, Error, and their descendants) are not subject to those restrictions. Any method can throw any unchecked exception at any time without declaring it. This is because unchecked exceptions are either the sign of a coding error (RuntimeException), which is totally preventable and should be fixed rather than handled by the code that encounters it, or a problem in the VM, which in general can not be predicted or handled.
