The comma in a file name

When importing images and changing the file name, or just changing the file name in metadata i find that if I try to use the comma key, lightroom will just replace it with a dash (-), so February 22, 2007 becomes February 22- 2007. This happening to anyone else? I'm using the 30 day trail that i downloaded off the website.

I noticed this too, in XP Pro. I wondered if there is some problem with commas in Mac software and this 'fix' was being passed onto Windows users?
I have to resort to renaming files afterwards when this happens. Fortunately, I use an excellent piece of freeware software, Lupas Rename (search Google). It's not the prettiest of interfaces but does a comprehensive job with left crop, right crop, autonumber, text replace, etc. It can do an entire folder in one go.
Any chance of Adobe removing this annoyance in an update? I honestly don;t see what the problem is with a comma, at least give us an option of 'Do nothing'.

BUG: Extra characters at the end of attachment file names

I received complaints that my attachments didn't open on the PC's of the recipients. After I saw the messages I noticed there were extra characters at the end of their file names. That's why they wouldn't open. When I looked into my sent mail folder it was there as well. The addition took place when I sent the mail, while composing everything looked fine. It took me a while to realize the pattern. There was one extra for every non-ASCII character in the file name.
Apparently Mail.app is using two different libraries. The other one counts the non-ASCII characters as two while the other doesn't. I don't know whether Finder still uses MacRoman or Unicode, but this seems to relate to double-byte characters.
The short term solution is to use only ASCII for file names, but that's not what OS X is all about.

The class files are broken. Recompile them. If you're uploading them, doublecheck if the FTP program used doesn't do mad things with binary files.

Offline Folder can not chaange the letter of a file name from capital to lowercase

Dear Expert,
we deploy the offline folder to end users, there is a strange issue happened now, if user tries to change the letter of a file name from capital to lowercase, the system will show "You need permission to perform this aciton". But other actions
are fine, like, create, delete, rename, etc.

Hi,
Please check if the offline folder is made available offline to end users. The Offline Files feature uses the client-side cache (CSC) database. When the files are made available offline, the CSC database prevents users from changing the case of file
names.
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:
You cannot rename files by using different case when the files are made available offline in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

Redirect to "can't find the i-web page"/file name change

i published a website thru mobileme (http://www.hale-o-lani-aloha.com). when i type my website address in e-mails and check the link, i sometimes got directed to a page that said "we're sorry but we can't find the i-web page you've requested..." (yes, i've checked my typing!)
when i created my sitemap (with rage sitemap automator), i was told that the apostrophe in the file name for my first page was probably causing the problem. my file name was"hale o'lani aloha". i changed the file name for the webpage to "hale o lani aloha" and republished, redid the sitemap, etc. i now have 2 sets of files on my i-disk: one for Haleo'LaniAloha and the other for HaleoLaniAloha (i don't know why it's not "HaleoLani"). both sets of files have folders with the individual components of the site, css style sheet, java script and html files. the bad redirect site address has "/Site/HaleoLaniAloha" in the address. (when i checked the "oLani" html file on my i-disk, it opens an incomplete version of my first webpage. however, the "o'Lani" html file opens the fully functioning page). when the links work, the address has "/Site/Haleo_LaniAloha" (the new file name). so that long explanation brings me to my questions:
- did the apostrophe in my file name truly mess things up?
- since my fully functioning html file on i-disk has the apostrophe in it, should i rename my file with the apostrophe and delete the non-apostrophe files from my i-disk (even tho the working website has "oLani")?
thanks for any info that can help clear up this mess!

MacBook Pro-'the disk copy of "file name" was changed...'

My MacBook Pro has been running very slowly. Occasionally, the message 'The disk copy of "file name" was changed since you last opened of saved it. Do you want to save it anyway?" when attempting to save photoshop files. It also tells me my start up drive is nearly full but it is not. I'm guessing the these are related. Anyone else experiencing this?

I also just started experiencing this.
Quick Specs:
MBP 8GB 2.3Ghz 1.7 (Early 2011)
256 SSD

I have seen this with Photoshop, Flash, and Dreamweaver CS 5, and Eclipse.
I am growing concerned that this is either the SSD starting to fail or possibly the new Spotlight index algorithm.
Would really like to see if anyone has a fix.

Regarding the Logical Path and file name

Hi all ,
I am using LSMW for creating the BOM of a material .
I am getting problem at step 7 , saying the logical path is pointing to physical directory .
Then i did some R & D . I created the logical path and logical file name using transaction FILE . Then i got the physical path using FM file_get_name.
But when i give those logical path and logical file names , still i am getting prob.... at step 7 of lsmw.
Pls let me know . I did my best unti l now ....

Hi Raj,
Can you send the Error which you got at Step 7??
It would be of great help if you can send the File Path and the file names you have used.

Used variable substitution to substiture the field 'date' in file name

Hi gurus
I have used variable substitution to substiture the field 'date' (dd/MM/yyyy/hh/mm/ss) in the file name so when empty payload (a valid xml ) is generated by Message mapping then the communication channel is failing by showing the following error
File processing failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during
variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload
: date
As of now the business is not getting effected as the business scenarion needs only customer master data at the reciever side But when ever there is no custmer master data in the sourse side the message mapping is generating an empty payload and the communication channel is failing ( so it is an internal issue and is there any way which could solve the both (ie the business must not get effected and as well the communication channel must not fail)
any coments on this will be higly apreciated
thanks and regards
sandeep

Hi Sandeep -
Yes If you use the Variable substitution from the payload , that perticular field has to be generated in the target structure.
To handle this You can do the following:
Sourcefield --->exists -> IfThenElse-->TargetField
Where     SourceField>exists(node function)-> If
               SourceField -
>Then
               CurrentDate(Date Function)----->Else
Hope this will help !!
Regards.

Sender File adapter - DataTime stamp at the end of aarchived file name

Hello,
I am archiving the file once PI file sender adapter picks the file from source directory.
The file is archived in the archive directory as <Date-Time-SSS_>FileName.
I need to append the value <Date-Time-SSS_> after the file name.
So archived file looks like FileName_<Date-Time-SSS>
How can I achieve this? Appreciate your help for valuable suggestions.
Thanks,
Namadev

Hi Namdev,
Generally when we archive file then in sender CC we just put the processing mode as Archive and specify the Archived directory name in Archive Directory section. in that case when the Communication channel pick the source file then after picking it it remove it from source directory and put it into Archived directory without making any change in the file name.
so if the file name is A.txt then in Archived directory also its name will be A.txt . However if you want to make any change in the name of the source file in the archived directory then you have two write Unix or DOC scrpt( depending upon your soure server )
if your source server is Unix then write shell script otherwise dos scriprt
.after wrtting the shell script just place in the archived directory or your source directory and call it in by mentioning it in Coomand Line section of your sender CC. You can easily search and get the required shell script .

In PS 9, can I backup to disc and keep the pix separated by file name?

In the past, my backups to disc just result in a mass of pictures that are not separated by file name and haven't retained their numerical designation.
It would be much more useful if this could be done.
Is there a way of doing this in PS 9?

Then you might want to post in the appropriate Forum.

When creating a photo book how can I sort the photos shown by file name?

I am creating a photo book. The photos shown in the right hand column appear out-of-order. How do I sort them by file name? The album in iPhoto the book is based on is sorted by file name.

You can not - they are soreted by date
-- the only solution I have seen is to put them in an album sorted the way you and and then use the batch cnage command to redate them with a small invrement between so a data sort matches your desired sort -- I personally do not want to redate a bunch of my photos nor do i want to have to go through and un-re- date a bunch

When I right click on a web image to save, the Save Image popup box has nothing listed in the "Save as type" box at the bottom just below "File Name"

When I attempt to save an image from a web site page, I right click and then the Save Image popup appears. At the bottom of the popup, the "File name" box will contain the appropriate file name of the image. However, in the "Save as Type" box, there is nothing listed and I can't enter a file extension, such as JPEG. What then is saved is just a thumbnail image

You can use this extension to modify the menu.

A script for adding the current date to file name?

I am working in Indesign CS3. I frequently save file as PDFs into a designated folder. I was hoping for help in writing a script that would apply the current date to the end of the file name, when saved into this folder. Some days, I save the same file several times, into this folder. I was also hoping there was a way to add a date and version, for example "filename_2.25.11(1).pdf" Is this possible? Can someone help me?

ok, I ended up with this test routine:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this in added_items
my checkifopened(this)
display dialog (name of this) as text
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
on checkifopened(this)
set a to POSIX path of (this as alias)
repeat until 1 = 0
## don't like that one because it relies on an error msg ... so
(** try
set b to do shell script "lsof | grep " & quoted form of a
on error
exit repeat
end try**)
##so I use this one
set b to do shell script "lsof"
if b does not contain a then
exit repeat
else
say "still opened"
end if
end repeat
end checkifopened
this is a folder action that tests if the added file is still opened by an application... there is no delay between each test-loop since lsof takes some time to execute...
And after adding a timeout (just in case) to this function the final script looks like this:
on adding folder items to thefolder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
set folderkind to kind of thefolder
set myfiles to every item of thefolder whose name does not contain "#" and kind is not folderkind
repeat with myfile in myfiles
set myfile_datestring to my get_datestring(creation date of myfile)
set myfilename to name of myfile
if (count of every character of myfilename) > 4 and (character -4 of myfilename) as text is "." then
set filestatus to my checkifopened(myfile, 60)
if filestatus = false then
display dialog "timeout on folder action"
else
set tmp to ((characters 1 through -5 of myfilename) & "#" & myfile_datestring & (characters -4 through -1 of myfilename)) as text
set myfilename to my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(tmp, thefolder, false)
set name of myfile to myfilename
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
on get_datestring(mydate)
return year of mydate & "-" & (characters -2 through -1 of (("0" & (month of mydate as integer)) as text)) & "-" & (characters -2 through -1 of (("0" & (day of mydate as integer)) as text)) as text
end get_datestring
on checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, looped)
--check if filename exists in D
-- so if "A File.pdf" exists it names it "A File 1.pdf","A File 2.pdf",...
#n = string of the filename
#D = file reference to the directory to check
#looped = boolean used for recursive loop...
tell application "Finder"
set thefiles to name of every item of (D as alias)
end tell
if thefiles contains n then
if looped = false then
set n to ((characters 1 through -5 of n) & "(1)" & (characters -4 through -1 of n)) as text
my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, true)
else
set tmp to (last word of ((characters 1 through -5 of n) as text) as integer)
set tmpcount to (count of characters of (tmp as text)) + 5
set tmp to tmp + 1
set n to ((characters 1 through (-1 * tmpcount) of n) & "(" & tmp & ")" & (characters -4 through -1 of n)) as text
my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, true)
end if
else
return n
end if
end checknamewith_pdfsuffix
on checkifopened(this, mytimeout)
## this file reference
## timeout in seconds
set a to POSIX path of (this as alias)
set startdate to current date
repeat until 1 = 0
## don't like that one because it relies on an error msg ... so
(** try
set b to do shell script "lsof | grep " & quoted form of a
on error
exit repeat
end try**)
##so I use this one
set b to do shell script "lsof"
if b does not contain a then
return true
else if ((current date) - startdate) > mytimeout then
return false
else
##say "still opened"
end if
end repeat
end checkifopened
to use this save this script in /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts
and add this as a folder action to your folder...
The script processes all files inside that folder each time a new files is added...
