TB local folder names repeat, with ";001", ";002" , etc., suffixes.

For the past 7-10 days (or so), some subfolder names in my Local Folders area are being repeated, with " ;001 " , " .002" suffixes—e.g., Incoming;001 , Incoming;002 , Outgoing;001 , Outgoing;002, Trash;001 , Trash;002. These folders are always empty. They can be deleted...but when TB is started the next time, they reappear. Compacting doesn't appear to have any effect on this, and the same faux folders appear when accessing the TB account via another PC.
Am using TB 31.2.0 under the aegis of Win7 32-bit.
Any wisdom or advice?

The solution was to put Thunderbird in off-line mode, open the various mailboxes in the appropriate Profile (via Windows Explorer), and delete the unwanted items manually. There were literally ''hundreds'' of them! On closing and restarting Thunderbird, the mailboxes were clear.
Have no absolute knowledge of how these faux entries came about, but I learned in my software development days that Martians unequivocally have the ability to corrupt computer files at interplanetary distances. I'm blaming Martians for this one.

Problem with multiple versions of documents being published with 001, 002, etc.

I am using Contribute CS3. I am having a problem with multiple versions of documents being published on the sever with 001, 002, etc in the name. So that I end up with 2 or 3 versions of a document on the server. Does anyone know why / how Contribute is doing this? Thanks for any help you can give.

Your Web site administrator will need to update your key to allow you to delete files you are able to edit.

Help with Numbers. I am trying to input numbers such as 001, 002 etc.

I am trying to input numbers such as 001, 002 etc. but the 00's in front keep getting dropped. I understand putting them there does not make this true or real numbers but I need them in this table. How do I get this without the 00's being dropped?

If have a preset length of the field where the whole column must have the same length and you want to just backfill the leading zeroes, you could use a formula
If you enter this in cell C2 and paste it down in C column, it will add leading zeroes to your numbers listed in column B
=LEFT("00000",5−LEN(B2−1))&B2
If you want to expand this to a larger length, just add as many zeros as you want in the formula "0000000000" and change the 5 to however many zeroes you have between the "" in the formula.
If you want to add a constant number of zeroes (2 in my case) in front of the number, you could modify the formula to something like this:
=LEFT("00000",2))&B2
If you make it a formula, this would automatically turn the field format to show the leading zeroes, BUT..... you could still perform calculations on that field, which is a bonus!!!

Localized folder names

How do I find the localized names of the Presets folder and its subfolders on the Mac? At least with the German Photoshop CS3 the folder names are localized ('Vorgaben' instead of 'Presets'), etc.
I am working from an external utility, not a PS plug-in.

Why do you need to put them in the Brushes folder?
One more time: the location within the presets folder, or the plugins folder doesn't matter.
And the only way you could get the localized name is to parse the ZString localization file, the same as Photoshop does, to get the localized string.

Undocumented shared folder, name starts with BEW

I recently found that my Windows XP system has some shared folders with names that begin with the letters BEW followed by a lengthy hexadecimal string. I suspect that Bonjour is responsible for this since I have found it on two computers that both have recently installed Bonjour software.
Can anyone confirm this, or is this caused by some other software?

I am also experiencing this same issue. Have you found a resolution for it?

Get the root folder name once user will upload any files to subfolder with in this root folder using sharepoint designer WF??

Hi,
How to get the root folder name using sharepoint designer WF? i have a document library with root folders and subfolders. so i am trying to get the root specific root folder name attaching with email once user will
upload any files to subfolders within that root folder.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to get the root folder name in SharePoint Designer Workflow when there is file uploading.
The “Path” field of the current item holds the relative path of a file, as a workaround, you can retrieve the value of the “Path” as string, then split the string
value with a delimiter character of “/” to meet your requirement.
In SharePoint Designer 2010, there is no OOTB action to split the string. You can use the custom workflow actions below to achieve it.
Here is a link about the related actions I use in this scenario:
https://spdwfstringactions.codeplex.com/
Settings of workflow as below:
It works well in my environment:

How to access a url in file receiver CC with space in the folder name?

Hi
PI 7.11 sp4:
In a file receiver channel I would like to send the message to this folder:
de-prod.dk\bu\something\something\PTI eventstanden\archive\"
But I get this error message:
"Target directory 'F:\usr\sap\XP7\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\"\de-prod.dk\bu\something\something\PTI eventstanden\archive"' does not exist"
My question is: where the f.... does it get the 'F:\usr\sap\XP7\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\ from, and how can I fix it?
One issue is the space in the folder name. I have tried to replace the space with %20 and then remove the "" s around the whole url, but without any luck.
When I log on the server on which Pi is running I can access the folder using the mentioned url including the ""s.
All suggestions would be highly appreciated!

It works for me just to copy the folder from Windows explorer into channel config. With space and without ".

Trying to write an Automator program to find files with same time created and change file names to matching source folder names

I am failrly green when it comes to automator.
I am trying to write an Automator program:
Not sure where to post this
trying to write an Automator program to find files and alter their names
I have a source folder with correct named master files in it.
eg. A0001_1234.mpeg
time created 14:02:03
date 07/07/2012
Another folder where there will be copies of the master files in a different format with different names but created at the same time as a file in the source directory.
they are created with a seperate device but they are
A0000001.mp4
time created 14:02:03
date 07/07/2012
I need it to then take the name from the source fies and apply the correct name to the matching file based on the time it was created.
I can't seem to find actions in automator that reference time crated.
Is this something I will be able to Do in automator?
Any help would be great
Thanks

Hi,
It's impossible to do this without any script in Automator.
Use this AppleScript script :
set source to choose folder with prompt "Select the source folder"
set anotherfolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose the another folder"
tell application "Finder"
    repeat with tfile in (get files of source)
        set cDate to creation date of tfile
        set findFiles to (files of anotherfolder whose creation date is cDate)
        if findFiles is not {} then
            set tName to name of tfile
            set name of item 1 of findFiles to tName
        end if
    end repeat
end tell

Applescript: prepend a string with folder name

I’ve found this script that copies the names of multiple selected files in the Finder to clipboard:
try
     set theNames to {}
     tell application "Finder"
          repeat with i in (get selection)
               set end of theNames to name of i
          end repeat
       end tell
     set {TID, text item delimiters} to {text item delimiters, return}
     set the clipboard to theNames as text
     set text item delimiters to TID
end try
I need to prepend to each result a string like "www.domain-name.ext/folder", where “folder” is the parent folder relative to the files.
How can I do it? Thanks in advance.

You can do something like:
try
   set theNames to {}
   tell application "Finder"
      repeat with i in (get selection)
          set parentName to name of container of i
          set end of theNames to "www.domain-name.ext/" & parentName & "/" & name of i
      end repeat
    end tell
    if theNames is not {} then
      set {TID, text item delimiters} to {text item delimiters, return}
      set the clipboard to theNames as text
      set text item delimiters to TID
    end if
on error errmess
    log errmess
end try

Bandaid fix was to export to local folder and upload via Filezilla. However, now that is no longer working and although upload completes, the URL takes you to a "Forbidden - do not have permission to read this file" page. Lightroom is changing the permissions of each file to 000 instead of 644 for index files and 755 for all others. How can I change the permissions settings in Lightroom?

My images are still in the catalog, but the Folder name has disappeared. I need to get the folder back into my structure with the images in place

Help: I have a very well defined folder structure. Folder are located in a Master location and organized by State. Inside of these are my master RAW file folders organized by location. For example: West Virginia > BIRI_RAW_2012, BLFA_RAW_2013, NERI_RAW_2013, etc. After I set up the masterful following a shoot, I go to LR and import the images. At one time I inadvertently imported the NERI_RAW_2013 masterful set as a subset of something else and it was not appearing in my LR Module in the organization I prefer. So I went to my master folders on my drive and moved the NERI file into the West Virginia state folder. When I went back to LR, as expected the NERI folder was grey with a question mark. So I right clicked to find the files and relink, and it did not work. The folder name disappeared. The RAW files are still in the catalog and show up in a missing photos search. I can't reimport because they are already there. I just need to restore my folder structure and get the images back to the right spot.

So I right clicked to find the files and relink, and it did not work. The folder name disappeared.
It didn't disappear, it moved (because you told Lightroom to move it). It moved from the incorrect folder location, to the new folder location. Please look in the new folder, in whatever location it is in, not in the old folder and the old location, and you will find the photos.

Extremely annoying problem with user folder name in windows 8.1

Here is the thing:
Friend of mine bought the laptop (very strong and expensive asus - republic of gamers) with installed windows 8.1 on it, but after a few days only I bought that computer from him because he didn't need it and he didn't use it at all!
But, his name stayed in the windows. I changed all user accounts names and everything which was possible to be changed, but when i go to C/users his name is still there on folder!
I can say it is very annoying because that laptop cost almost 3.000 USD and I still need to look at someone else's name in my user folder!
I tried to change "ProfileImagePath" in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ .... but after that windows logged in as a temporary profile and I spend another hour to figure out
how to reverse the thing!
How is possible that some so basic and simple things can't be changed at all in newest windows??? Only because some name was entered first it's not possible to be changed ever again???? Seriously?
Not only this problem, there is too many problems with this windows 8.1! Too many! You definitely made the worst thing ever!
I am extremely unhappy and upset with this operative system! I,m cursing the day when i gave so much money for computer with crap called windows 8.1!!!!
Very very angry!!!
(P.S English is not my native language)

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that you have resolve that issue.
Not only this problem, there is too many problems with this windows 8.1! Too many! You definitely made the worst thing ever!
Please let us know what problem did you encounter? Please give us more detailed information in order to provide the further help.
Here is a overall guide for you to know well the Windows 8.1
Windows 8.1: frequently asked questions
No Karen, I didn't resolve the issue.
I asked very simple question how to change something so basic like user folder name in Windows 8.1
You know: "C:/Users/"user name"
All the links you are giving to me doesn't provide any concrete answer to this question. I spent hours and hours googling and researching about this question and only solution which i found is that i need to create completely new user account and delete completely
the old one, just to be able to remove an old name of user folder! Are you kidding me?
How is possible that such a basic thing is so complicated?
Is there any way to change folder user name in any other way because i don't want to create a new user account!
Simple question, but, like always, no any concrete answers - just some empty talks, and totally useless links and SPINNING IN THE CIRCLE all the time without the CONCRETE solution.
As for part of my post which you quoted, and your request for more informations in order to provide me further help, i just gave it to you again. I want to change user folder name. What you don't understand in that question?
UPDATE:
Ok, i came back to edit this post because i have a feeling that maybe you don't understand the question and giving me this link because maybe you simply don't know that when you go to:
Control panel/user accounts/change your account name... and change the name, and after that, when you go to C:/users, the folder with the user name still have an old user name. Which means that any changes in control panel or anywhere else doesn't make any
changes on C:/users/ folder itself!!!!!
In previous windows versions was possible to change it by editing "ProfileImagePath" in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ ....
But when I try to do that in Windows 8.1, when I reboot computer it logs in with some temporary account, so i need to reverse everything to be able to use computer with the real account!
So basically it seems that is absolutely impossible to change user folder name in Windows 8.1, which is simply unbelievable!
I really think i explained very good now.

Unable to open PDFs with CR in the file name or folder name?

We are unable to open any PDFs with capital CR in the title of the document or if they are stored in a folder with CR in the name of it. This is quite a large problem as we are a CRC (Cooperative Research Centre) and need to use this in most file and folder names.

Can you please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader available i.e. 10.1.4 (By clicking on Help > Check For Updates from within the Reader application). This should fix your issue.

Folder names with diacritics & NFS shares

OK; sometimes things appear simple but are not. Sharing files with an OSX client has been, and is a nightmare in a Linux environment.
We have a mostly Ubuntu environment and have tried Samba, and NFS. After a significant amount of work the Mac can do stable NFS Mounts provided the following unconventional settings are implemented:
In the /etc/exports file on the Ubuntu server:
/some/catalog/to/export 192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync,nosubtree_check,allsquash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,insecure)
- anonuid needs to be user ID of the user on the server that is the owner of the catalog
- anongid needs to be group ID of the group on the server that is the primary group for of the catalog
On the Mac in Disk Utility/File/NFS Mounts:
- Enter the correct paths
- click "Advanced" and fill in: resvport,nolocks,locallocks,intr,soft,wsize=32768,rsize=32768
This finally let's you mount the share
However, after using the share for a while we discovered that folder names on the share that contains diacritic characters, including characters å,ä,ö and Å,Ä,Ö did not display in the file listing in Finder (In Path Finder Folder names are replaced with " -- "), nor could the folder be opened. However, right-clicking the " -- " in Path Finder and selecting "Get info" did display the correct path to the folder and did display the diacritic characters in the path correctly.
In a catalog containing 264 folders that all had the same owner and the same group & permissions, 94 did not display properly in OSX/Finder and none could be opened. All 94 contained one or more diacritic characters (åäö or ÅÄÖ). None of the 170 others did contain any diacritics. Spaces, and e.g. "&" does not cause problems.
With an Ubuntu client I can NFS mount the same server, and I do get the folder names displayed correctly and I can open the folders. It appears likely there is a bug in OSX - likely in Finder/Path Finder, since the correct path name is displayed in "Get Info".

Gave up on this and downloaded Interarchy (RBrowser seems similar). This is not NFS and not Samba; rather FTP over SSH (SFTP). Secure, even for remote access and works out of the box, like breeze. All access rights intact . And there is a preview of file, rather that open on remote server...

Publishing bug with FTP servers - Spaces at end of file/folder names

I'm sharing what I've found after lots of troubleshooting with my Mom's iWeb website. I originally came across this in the previous version of iWeb, and have seen it again in the current version.
For the sake of this example, she had an image gallery on her site. The image file she added to iWeb had a space at the of the filename, just before the file extension, something like "image name .jpg"
In the old version of iWeb (iWeb 08), we would publish the site to a folder on her computer, and it would generate a folder for each image in the gallery. These folders would hold the original image and thumbnail image. Each folder name was the image's filename, minus the extension. In this example, the folder name was "image name " with a space at the end, which is valid on the Mac OS X file system.
When we uploaded it to the FTP site (which happened to be GoDaddy) using a 3rd party FTP tool, certain images would always fail to upload. After much testing and troubleshooting with other FTP software, we found that the FTP server did not allow spaces at the end of folder names, and it automatically replaced them with underscores. So, we tried to upload a folder called "image name ", and ended up with one called "image name_". As a result, we couldn't upload any of the files that were supposed to be IN that folder, because it could not be found under it's intended name.
Fast forward to today, using iWeb 09. Now the software allows you to upload to a 3rd party FTP server, so we've stopped using the other FTP software and do it all in iWeb.
She added a new image to her gallery and tried to publish changes, and got the error: "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again lager, or check with your service provider"
Once she removed the image, publishing worked again. It turned out the original image had a space at the end of the filename, just before the extension again. Once this space was removed, everything worked again.
Hopefully this helps somebody else down the road. If you have trouble with certain files, check them for spaces at the end, just before the extension. Perhaps in a future release, Apple could update the site publishing code to trim leading/trailing spaces from folder names.
If you've seen this before, or have any further questions/feedback for me, feel free to post a response. Thank you for reading.

It would be nice if Apple could make their error messages more descriptive of the actual problem so we have a better idea of how to solve it. I am "the mom" who had the problem B2Ben posted about.
The error message seemed to place blame on the ftp server or my ISP, consequently I wasted a lot of time with these people when it wasn't even remotely their fault.
As with most computer problems, I ended up learning a lot from it and it always helps with gaining confidence. This is my 20th year as a Mac user!.. yes, since 1989. I look forward to seeing what some of you have experienced with this same issue.
