Sort by file type

In the "View Preferences" there does not seem to be an option to insert a "file type" column. If it isn't possible to do this, I'd suggest that this option be made available. If it is possible, how is it done?
thanks

How do I sort by file type?

I was wondering how I can sort by file type? I have a bunch of .moi and .mod files in a directory and want yo delete the .moi files. If I could sort by type, then it would just be a matter of highlighting those and deleting. I tried sorting by kind, but since they are seen as Unix Executable files by the OS, it sorts them but not by .moi or .mod. Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't believe you can sort by extension. However, what you can do is to type .moi into the search field at the top of the Finder window where you see those files. That will initially show all .moi files on your entire computer. At the top of the displayed search results will the the text "Search:" followed by three choices. "This Mac" should be selected, but the name of the folder you were looking in will be the second choice... click that one. That will cause the search results to contain only files from that folder, containing the text ".moi", which should be the ones you're interested in deleting.

Search or sort by file type?

has anybody figured out how to search/sort by file type (.psd, .cr2, Etc.)?
I've been looking, but I can't find it.

Bring up the search HUD, use the "+" drop down menu to add an "other metadata" criteria choose file name and type in the extension that you are looking for.

Custom sort by file type?

Hello. I have been using PSE6 for a while but have recently started the trial of Aperture.
There is a lot to like in Aperture, but I have been unable to get around the problem of sorting my RAW and JPEG files.
I shoot in RAW+ and have been importing using PSE's importer. That renames the image files and places them on my hard disk. Each image exists as both a .dng and .jpg.
I have imported a few of these sets of files into Aperture to evaluate it, but can not work out how to do the PSE equivalent of filtering by file type. In PSE I can select a filter to show just the JPEGs or just the RAW. That way I don't have to scan through duplicate versions of every image. Worse still, Aperture doesn't show the file extensions in the filenames that sit under the thumbnails, so both file types for a particular image appear with the same name.
Can I do the same in Aperture? I saw the 'Custom' option in the sort drop down menu and thought that might do it, but it is greyed out. I can't find anything useful about that option in the manual.
Reading other posts in this forum I realise that if I had imported from the cards using Aperture I would have only seen the .dng files unless I ctrl-clicked and that would be fine for me. But I have over a year's worth of files already imported with PSE and need a solution to deal with those.
Thanks!
P.S. I just worked out that I could type '.dng' into the search box on the film strip and that displays only those files. That gets the result I need, but not as elegantly as having a predefined or custom criterion I can select.

I too have found that a bit frustrating that there isn't the sort by "kind". I'm used to using Lightroom and/or Adobe Bridge. I like you, have the dng and finished jpg or tiff's next to each other. I have found a work around that works most of the time to sort so it is easy to see which is which.
Instead of looking at the photos as a thumbnail, look at them in the list view and sort by pixel or file size.
My dng's are always way larger so they are all listed together. I then can rate the originals. Then I sort them by File Name and the stars from the originals show up.

Trying to sort library by file type

Hey all, I'm trying to sort by file type so it can quickly arrange all the TIFF files together in one easy to see group. I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong here, because it keeps just slightly rearranging my images, but not putting all TIFF together and all RAW together. They are still mixed, and I have to select by hand, which negates the purpose of sorting by file type for me.
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you, that worked. I guess out of sake of discussion though, is there not a way to just apply a view filter while in the library module to show only files of a certain type? Like in Bridge, how you can set a view filter for like... Anything. Am I missing something here? This seems like it should work too, because on the bottom of the screen there is a fly down menu that lets you select things like file type, extension, etc... Yet it doesn't seem to actually work as far as narrowing down what you are looking at in your window.

File type m2t is choppy during playback

Hi,
I've read many post on choppy playback for different file types but not found many solutions to the problems.
My Story:
I have Pr CS4 running on Windows 7 x64. PC Spec Quad Core 2.5G, 4G DDR2 RAM + Onboard Geforce 7100 (Dedicated RAM for this card).
I attempt to play raw m2t files through Pr source and timeline windows without any modification... using the default window layout. The results are choppy video with audio playing fine. This is like many other people but not seen anyone with this issue using m2t as far as I've searched. AVCHD is causing many issues and it looks like the same problems.
I have a work around that helps but is not ideal though. If I reduce the playback window to 25% it works fine. Audio and video in sync as far as I can tell... but thats the problem, it's a little to small for me.
My question is like many others - does anyone know what could be causing this? I've read that Pr CS4 itself is causing the issue... This may be true as I've played back at full screen via VLC and windows media player. I've also renamed the files to mpeg as someone suggested but that gave me the same results.
The kicker is that I've run the same files under a WinXP OS on the same system (32bit version so less RAM available!) and I have no problems. That makes me think it could be to do with a codec installed on XP. I had ffdshow installed on XP and also a few others. I briefly tried ffdshow on Win7 but it installs under the x86 program folder and doesn't seem interested when launching Pr, unlike when launching under XP.
So, I'm stuck. If anyone has a magic codec out there that possibly sorts this issue out please share . Does anyone think it's WIN7 specific? I've read recently that adobe fully support Pr under WIN7 now so surely this is not the norm?
Does anyone else know of a free HD capture tool that captures in a different format? I've used HDVSplit recently due to the scene split function that Pr doesn't supply under HD (btw....Why!?!?!?)
Hope I find some answers soon
Cheers,
Docj0nes

Just for closure this issue has been resolved now. I did not change my PC, just reverted back to using XP for a while. Tried again on Win7 recently and the vids play back perfectly fine. Update from windows rather than adobe may have fixed it as Idid not recall an adobe update being installed.

Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library. Do you want to associate them now? When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones. I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID?

Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

Is there any way to reset the file type to "Adobe Acrobat Document" rather than "pdf file"?

An update from WordPerfect automatically installed Foxit on my computer without warning me. I uninstalled it and reinstalled CS5 and Acrobat 11 but when I look at a list of files in Windows Explorer, all of my PDF files are simply listed as "PDF file" rather than "Adobe Acrobat Document". I rely on the Adobe name to get my PDF listed at the top of list of files when I sort by document type for something that I need to do 4 or 5 times a day. Having it buried under "PDF" is causing lots of errors.
I've tried searching the registry but can't find anything that would make this change. I know it's related to the computer because when I use my laptop to view the same folder on the desktop, the laptop shows the files as "Adobe Acrobat Document". I just don't know where to look to fix this.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
GiGi

I have already reinstalled both Adobe Reader and the full version of CS5 which includes Adobe Pro. Neither of those steps worked.

RemoteApp 2012 and File Type Associations

Hi, All :),
the scenario is like this - 2 x Server 2012: one as the RD Connection Broker and RD Web Access and one as the RD Session Host (clients are Windows 7). ALMOST everything works: there is one collection, several applications, all successfully thrown into
the RemoteApp and Desktop Collections by GPO (Powershell script - http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/313a95b3-a698-4bb0-9ed6-d89a47eacc72/).
But one thing doesn't work - file type associations. Well, I want the client without, for example, Office installed to open the RemoteApp application (Excel) by clicking on the XLSX file. When looking at the application properties -> File Type Associations
-> Current Associations column, I see the name of the collection, which includes Excel ... but it does not work. After updating the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections on the client, the RDP file with Excel noticed a new line:
remoteapplicationfileextensions: s:. csv,. xls,. xlsx,. xltx
How do I make it work? I know that in RemoteApp on Server 2008R2 you could export the MSI file that took care of File Type Associations, but what to do in case of Server 2012?

Unfortunately, the feature to install file type associations for RemoteApp programs in your GPO-pushed RemoteApp and Desktop Collection is only supported on Windows 8 clients. Several improvement were made over the old MSI-based file type associations, and
those improvements rely upon changes in the Windows 8 OS.
Ultimately file type associations are controlled with registry keys, all of which are documented on MSDN. RemoteApp programs are pretty much the same as any other local program, except the file type is associated with mstsc.exe with some special parameters.
Although the way we register those file type associations in Windows 8 won't work for you, the way the old MSIs used to register them would. You could in theory register the RemoteApp file type associations yourself in the same way that one of the old MSIs
would have done (you could use some sort of GPO-pushed script on the clients).
The easiest way to do this would be to track down one of those old MSIs, install it, and do a before-and-after view of the registry to see what changes it makes.
Hope that helps,

Metadata field for "file type"?

I'm trying to find a way to sort images in A3's List view, and I can't seem to find a way to use the "File Type." I know I can filter images, but that's not what I want to do. I'd like to be able to have file type as a column so I can sort and have, say, RAWs at the top, followed by JPEG, etc. I've looked through all the fields and, so far, can't find anything that allows this without using a filter.
Tanks in advance

Use File Size, the files can then be listed with the jpeg or raw at the top or bottom of the list as you prefer using Ascending or Descending sort option. This should work due to the difference in file size between jpeg and raw, Allan

Sorting the file in file content conversion.

Hi all,
we have a file(xml)-pi-file(flat file) scenario,
where we need to sort the output file by employee id field.
Where can we achieve the sorting of file by particular field.
Do we have any option in Mapping(Functions) ??
Any option is Reciever File Adapter??
Reciever File content conversion??
Any inputs will be of gr8 help.
Regards.
santosh.

Hello,
Where can we achieve the sorting of file by particular field.
Do we have any option in Mapping(Functions) ??
Yes, there is a function in message mapping called sort and sortByKey, these can be found under node functions. To sort the ID, you can use this code
ID --> removeContext --> sort:(ascending or descending) --> ID
Use sortByKey to sort the additional details of the flatfile according to ID number e.g.
ID --> removeContext --> sortByKey:(ascending or descending) --> IDDetails
Details --> removeContext --> /
Any option is Reciever File Adapter??
Reciever File content conversion??
The receiver file adapter with FCC only converts the structure that is defined in your target message type into, say for example a text file. You have to do the manipulations in the message mapping.
Hope this helps,

Red Box - Unsupported File Type - Large Tiff - Large Scans - 10,000 pixels

Hello All,
I am a user of Aperture 2.1, and I have grown to love the program except for one major issue. Large files that are imported into the program are simply unsupported.
I scan 6x7 medium format negatives (8649x10712 @ 530.2 megs) and 4x5 negatives (very large drum scans) into my system (new 8 core, 12 gig ram, 512 meg vidcard, 10.5.2) and the issues begin. A thumbnail is properly built. Once the thumbnail is selected, and a preview is built, the image appears briefly and is replaced by a red box soon with the text "Unsupported File Type". If I change views to full screen all I see is a red box with the same text. Ie. I can't work the image.
The files are perfectly fine. I work them in photoshop cs3 no problem, and I can view them with quick look preview no problem.
This is highly frustrating as I work primarily in larger formats and create large prints!
It seems like the bug occurs in files that have a side larger than 10,000 pixels. This is a massive issue to large format/panoramic workflow!
I have called Apple tech support and the techs claim ignorance. That could mean they do not know of the issue which does not bode well for a solution. I'm in the dark. Please shed some light!
Three questions:
Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
Is there a workaround that doesn't involve cutting file size?
Has there been any acknowledgment from Apple support regarding this issue?
I am most frustrated as Aperture is billed as a professional product, but it is unable to keep up with the demands of a working fine art photographer.
Awesome product but needs some adjustments!

William, thanks for your input, but I feel that your position avoids the primary issue. Aperture is a Digital Asset Manager, and as such, should be able to manage digital image assets.
From Aperture's Webpage: "See how Aperture lets you import, manage, and enhance your photos in one simple, integrated workflow." It says photos, not Raw photos. In fact, I'll take it one step further, in the tutorial CD that came with 1.5, the narrator mentions the 16-bit workflow in Aperture with Tiffs, more than once.
I purchased Aperture for management and integrated workflow. Apple states: "Now it’s even easier to cull through shoots, enhance images, manage massive libraries, and deliver stunning photos." No where does it say that the functionality of the program is limited to RAW files. Ie. Apple never mentions that Large .tif files are not supported.
I have 6x7 and 4x5 Scans, Masters, Working Images, Print files and Web images that I would like to organize, stack, label, rate, view versions simultaneously on my second screen, sort, arrange, and keyword. The program's basic functionality is thwarted by an issue that Apple has not owned up to.
If Apple had mentioned in its literature that large .tif's weren't supported I would not be posting this, as I would not have purchased the software. But nowhere, not in phone conversations with Apple Techs (3), not on their own Forums where other end users have hit a massive workflow brick wall, and not even after I mentioned to a One on One guru, has Apple said, oh, yeah, we are aware of it and working on it. There is no transparency here.
Now, I have purchased Aperture, learned it, and imported thousands of files into it. I like the program as I have seen it function with smaller files perfectly, but this large file issue needs to be overcome.
Regarding editing images, yes I use photoshop for the majority of my post-production. I then use a finely tuned Colorburst Rip on a nice Epson for my Fine Prints. Those are the functions of the respective programs. Aperture is a DAM, a program that among other things allows the end use to manage their files effectively and maintain a strong workflow.
Regarding space - esata is a beautiful thing.

What does it mean exactly when the file quarantine feature warns you about unsafe file types?

It says here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3662 that "when you open a potentially unsafe file in Finder, Spotlight, or from the Dock, the file quarantine feature will warn you about unsafe file types. If you open a quarantined file, you will receive an alert asking, "Are you sure you want to open it?" You should click Cancel if you have any doubts about its safety."
Am I correct in thinking that when this ^ appears on the screen, it means the file you're trying to open is unsafe but not totally harmful to the Mac? Which means you can still open it and it won't be much of a problem?

If you know that you went to web site shown and downloaded the file shown at the date & time shown, then it's most probably exactly what you think it is. If a panel pops up for some software that should NOT have been downloaded -- as in a file that's part of the operating system -- then all sorts of alarms should go off. This is a classic technique for password grabbers -- you open something like Software Update and are completely expecting to have to type in the username and password of an account with Administrator priviledges, but if it is some nefarious program that you somehow downloaded and has substituted itself in the place of Software Update, then who knows where your password and username are going to get sent off to! If you got a panel like that and it said "Software Update" is an application downloaded from the internet. Or "Mail" is an application downloaded from the internet. Or "TextEdit". Big alarms!!!
This is why when you are downloading software you should type in urls directly, or click on them from a search page rather than some random link in an email/ad/etc. If I type get.adobe.com/flashplayer into the url bar on the browser then I know that I really went to adobe's web site and got the real flashplayer (unless something is REALLY wrong!). When you click on some link it might be going to anyplace at all -- including places that you don't want to go! This panel gives you one last chance to double-check that the file you are opening is what you think it is and it came from where you think it came from.

Sorting Incoming Files??

http://lifehacker.com/5099883/download-mover-automatically-sorts-incoming-files
Is it possible to do this on a Macbook?? I have tried smart folders, but I am trying to be able to download in firefox or safari and only mp3 files are moved to a designated folder and opened by itunes.
Any Tips??

Thanks...I checked both sites for something like an auto sorter for music and possibly even other file types. But no luck..Still open to suggestions.

Some iTunes library files showing as an unknown file type - different files from same import...

Haven't been able to find a similar problem on here, but apologies if this is a repetition of another discussion.
Some of the files in my Itunes library popped up with the little exclamation mark next to them, so I attempted to locate them. It's been a patchy problem since transferring from PC to Mac, but has just been an issue of pointing Itunes to the right file.
However, in this instance when I navigate through to the files in the folder they aren't showing as the same file type as the music that is playing in the library - I just get a blank page icon.
What's confusing me is that these aren't different file types or from different sources. They're maybe 3 tracks out of a whole album that is playing fine, that were all ripped from the same CD at the same time.
I've no idea why the Itunes is seeing some of these files differently. Any ideas?

Looked at in the HD they're all showing as M4P. I'm sure it's the way the software is viewing the files, and not the files themselves. Itunes does offer to find the others, but then does a really crappy job of doing so - missing files in the same album in the same folder.
I've cracked the original file problem by pointing Itunes to the files by going through the MacHD route, so now I'm just wrestling with thousands of missing files that I know are sitting right next to the files that aren't missing!
I might just resign myself to ploughing through and fixing it, sorting the patchy artwork at the same time. If I do a purge at the same time I can convince myself that I'm not wasting my life!
