The period is missing between download file name and extension

I thought maybe this was just a problem with a couple sites where I was downloading files but now it seems to be happening with all of them. For example... when downloading my statement it downloads as statementpdf when is use to download as statement.pdf
It is getting very frustrating and I'm starting to think it is something that is happening in Firefox as it is happening in about 6 or 7 sites that I download from monthly. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I'm using the most current version of Firefox.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.

When importing photos with iBooks Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the imported photo?

When importing photos with the iBooks Author Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the corresponding imported photo? I have 4,800 stills to import and can't imagine it's necessary to copy and paste the description for each.

DMS - file name and extension

Hi everybody,
I will appreciate if somebody could tell me how to read the file name and extension of already uploaded to DMS document (a function module will be best but name of db table is ok too). Is this information stored in SAP DB at all?
Thanks

Changing file multiple file names and extensions

hi all
i have just converted a couple of files with some software, but it hasnt put the file extension on, does anyone know of a way to automatically change them, they are already mp4 files but missing the .mp4 on the name part, can anyone help me out to change it without having to manually type it into every single file as that will take me ages now, but i do know for next time when i use this software.
adam

Just a warning: are you sure the extension is missing ? in some cases the extension is in the file name but it is hidden (it's used by the system and is exported but you don't see it in the finder).
In order to check it, in the Finder you can select the file icon, and use the Get Info command (cmd-I): when existing the extension can be read in the "Name and Extension" field, but if the Hide Extension option is set, that extension for that file will be hidden in the finder windows.

Copy the latest file (only a part of file name and extension is known) from source to destination (VB)

Hi,
I need to copy a file (latest) that is present in Temp folder to AppData/Roaming folder. But I know that the file name starts with "MSI" and the file extension is ".log" (like MSI*.log where * is a random hexadecimal number). Also, I need
to get the path for Temp and AppData/Roaming programmatically. After copying to the destination, I need to rename the file as well. I am very new to VB Script. How can I do this? Can you please give me some examples?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Prasad

Can you post your script? What have you done so far.
I recommend a little research in how to use default folders although they will help onl;y the logged in user.
Why do you thing you need to do this: You can always tell the installer to place the log file in a place other than temp.

Pdf portfolio source file name and date in file details

Is it possible to import the source file name and extension as well as the source file created date in the portfolio file details? Need to document source to portfolio in working with 3rd parties that will only have the original source. Need to document what was converted into pdf as not all files in a directory will successfully convert to pdf. Sometimes need to convert 100's of files. Manual entry is inefficient. the file names and modified dates are displayed on the Combine Files dialog. is there a way to capture the detail on that page?

I don't need the detail of when the pdf was added to the portfolio. I
need know which dwg or jpg or word file was converted and the original
created date of that file for control of information.
That is impossible; sorry. For some *very specific* types of conversion to PDF the pdfx:SourceModified XMP tag will be set to show the last-modification date of the source file (for example DOCX files converted using MS Word), but there will never be a human-readable record of the source filename or its creation date unless you have manually added them as document XMP properties after conversion (this is what the "Custom Properties" dialog is for). To embed source data automatically would raise no end of privacy and security problems for customers, who most certainly do NOT want their recipients seeing details of internal documents.
Without writing a plugin there's no access to the internal workflow of the Combine Files dialog, so you cannot use a script to read the names and dates of the files *before* conversion and store them automatically in the new PDF Portfolio's Fields array.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Non US-ASCII characters in download file names

I am trying to implement a simple file download in a JSP, and trying to get IE, Firefox and Opera to all display and handle non US-ASCII characters in the suggested download file name. Only concerned with Windows platform for now. Here's the code I am currently using:
String agent = request.getHeader("USER-AGENT");
if (null != agent && -1 != agent.indexOf("MSIE"))
String codedfilename = URLEncoder.encode(cfrfilename, "UTF8");
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=" + codedfilename);
else if (null != agent && -1 != agent.indexOf("Mozilla"))
String codedfilename = MimeUtility.encodeText(cfrfilename, "UTF8", "B");
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=" + codedfilename);
else
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=" + cfrfilename);
}This URL encodes the file name if the browser is IE, MIME encodes it if the browser is Mozilla, and sends plain UTF-8 (the encoding of the JSP) for all other browsers. I get "cfrfilename" from translated properties files, and the string can contain characters from any character set - Chinese, Thai, Korean, etc.
This code works correctly for IE - the file name is displayed correctly in the file Save as dialog, and it is saved correctly on disk, no matter which character set is used.
For Firefox, the file name is displayed correctly in the file Save as dialog, but it is only saved correctly to disk if the file name is in a character set supported by the system locale. This seems to be a known Firefox bug (not fully using the Windows Unicode APIs), so nothing I can do about that.
Nothing seems to work for Opera, however - I cannot get the file name to display correctly in the file Save as dialog, no matter which method I use (I have tried URL encoding and MIME encoding in addition to the plain UTF-8).
Has anybody implemented something similar that works for at least these 3 browsers?

I tested your code today,
                     dialog           save           open
Firefox 1.5          OK                 OK               OK
IE 6.0                OK                 OK                NGdailog: filename show in download popup dialog

File name and Date Display as an obj not the data

All,
     The issue that I am having is that when I view a Visio file hosted on SharePoint. The file was created in Visio 2007 and when it is opened by Visio 2007 and Visio Viewer in SharePoint. The file name field object and date
modified object show the information. The issue is when the file is opened by a device that has Visio 2010 the information does not show. Is there something that I can do for these users to have it show correctly.

Hi，
Which way did you open the Visio 2007 file in SharePoint？Opened it in the browser or downloaded it to open？ I had test in my environment. Insert a text box>Add a data/time field, it worked fine both in Visio 2007, 2010.
Thus, let‘s do some test to narrow down the issue’s reason.
1.Download the Visio 2007 file and open it with Visio 2010.
If it worked fine, the issue seems more related to Visio object and sharePoint connection.
If it does not display the information in Visio 2010 by a device client, the issue was more related to Visio 2010 client.
2.Create a new drawing included file name and Date
field in Visio 2010.
If the new drawing displays correct, the issue is more related the original, please try to repair the file or re-create the file name and Date filed.
If the new drawing still displays incorrect, please try to start Visio 2010 in safemode, some third-party add-ins my be casued the issue.
If the issue still exists, try to repair Visio 2010.

George Zhao

"Download a copy" shrinks downloaded file name

I'm using SharePoint Server 2013 with Russian language pack.
When in a document library, I choose "Download a copy" menu item in ECB on a file, and SharePoint 2013 downloads a file correctly (it can be opened and the file content is OK), but the file name is trimmed on the local hard disk: downloaded
file name is only a couple of first words long, but in a document library the file name is much longer.
It happens only on files that have names in Russian (cyrillic characters). Files that consist of English characters are downloaded with correct names as they appear in a SharePoint document library. So, it seems not to be connected to a URL length restrictions.

Consider opening a PSS case on this. It does sound like a bug.

FileSaveService ignored the file name and file extensions

I am using the JNLP API to build a JWS application. When using the FileSaveService, I found it automaticlly ignored the file name and file extensions I passed to the 'FileSaveService.saveFileDialog()'.
My code is like the following:
String[] xtns = {"csv"};
FileContents fileContents = fileSaveService.saveFileDialog(
".", xtns, stream, "testFile"); Im running this application in JRE version 1.6.0_20-b02 in Windows XP.
Although in the JNLP API, it said the file name and file extension 'might be ignored by the JNLP client', I still wonder if anyone has a better solution for this?
Thanks very much :)

Type some characters into the text area then activate the 'Save File' button. Do you get a file chooser that defaults to (.zzz) extension?
Then if yes, and that is a 'better solution' for you, then yes, I have one. The code of the demo. can be downloaded at a link just to the right of the launch link.

The period is missing between download file name and extension
