Upgrade Question on Number of Files

Today, I installed my new copy of Snow Leopard. Things went just fine and have been running without issue.
I did notice that the number of files listed in Disc Utility has jumped by about 100K, even though the number of GB is down by about 3.5GB.
Anybody have any idea where the extra files came from? Is there an 'old system folder' type set of files kept somewhere that can be deleted after a while?
Also, do I need to delete any unused languages if I had done this before? If so, what program is a good choice to do so?
Thanks, Bob.

I assume from your comments that you previously deleted unused language files in some way from the prior system installed on your Mac. This would largely or completely explain the increase in the number of files, since the Snow Leopard installer will install anew the files that support the standard set of languages for OS X & the Apple applications bundled with it (Finder, Safari, Address Book, etc.).
Monolingual will remove unused languages & the most recent version is claimed to be compatible with Snow Leopard. However, use this with care because some third-party applications require supporting language files to be present to run.

To find total number of files inside folder

Hai,
   In knowledge management is there any option to find total number of files inside folder...
    I also want to see the recently uploaded and modified documents in a seperate iview...
    Iam using NW2004s SP8..
    Very urgent..
    Waiting for a positive reply..
    Thanks&regards,

Hi Kiruthika,
1. You only need the configarchive if you don't want create all the KM configuration objects mentioned in the guide manually. So, just create the objects mentioned there and you don't need the configarchive
Also, the scenario works also on 2004s.
2. Please check this thread on how to show the total number of files inside a folder:
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=19610
3. It would be nice if you would consider rewarding the time people like Saravanan spend to investigate and answer your question by assigning points via the colored stars.

How to add increment number to file name properly

Hi, all:
I have a simple question. As shown in the attached code, I need to add an increment number to file name and save the file. The problem is, if you run the code and put something like ".dat" in the extension name, you will see a blank space between the number and the dot in the file name. What should I do to eliminate the blank space? I can't specify the format of the file name since the file name would vary from case to case.
Thanks a lot for any suggestion and correction in advance.

Hi,
Please take a look to the attached VI. I hope that I understood what you really want.
I've replaced the Vi: Format into string with Number to Decimal String plus a Concatenate String.
Now, this is working for me, I don't get a space anymore. If something is wrong, please let me know.
Regards,
Paul

Where to find the number of files in a folder (in Finder)?

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard.
In the past I could look at the bottom of the finder window and see how many files where in a particular folder. And how much megawattage they respresented in total.
Is there some kind of preference I can set in Mountain Lion to be able to see the 'number' of files in a given folder?
All ears,
Ben

Thank you Kurt,
You're an ace.
Much appreciated.

Finder issues and Get Info refusing to show the number of files on items on the main hard drive.

I am having finder issues. Mostly on the main hard drive. It takes ages to find things and I get the spinning wheel every time I open a folder.
So I moved all of my files to a external drive. When I had finished transfering I hit get info on the files on the external drive and on the same folder on the main drive. To ensure that it has copied over all the files. Because it was acting up and not copying all the files.
Get Info refuses to show the number of files within the folders on the main hard drive. It hasppily tells me everything on any of the external drives.
I have reset, the imac. I have re indexed 3 times. I have deleted the finder plist files. I have reset finder using terminal commands. I have moved nearly everything off the main hard drive. But nothing is working.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what could be causing my finder and get info issues.
Any help wpuld be appreciated.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

[Win VC++ 6.0 ]How to get the number of files count in a folder using VC++ 6.0?

Hi all,
Can any one tell how to get the number of files(.EPS) count inside a folder when the folder path is specified in VC++ 6.0?

I'm a little confused by the question, but it sounds like you're asking how to count the number of files with a particular extension in a given directory? That's not really an AI SDK question, but it's a fairly easy one to find if you google it. If you're trying to use Illustrator to do it, AI doesn't have a general purpose file API. It has a few functions to do some things that Illustrator needs, but I don't think enumerating directories is one of them.

Basic question on SQL database file structure

I'm learning to use JDBC / databases . I'm using JBuilder3 professional and HSQL (aka Hypersonic). I've
been following the Java Tutorial on learning databases.
So far I've sucessfully
set up the drivers / URL etc
connected to the URL
created a database (COFFEEBREAK , as per the tutorial)
added tables
added data
queried the database
------------- with the tutorial , so far so good. --------
My only database experience prior to this was using Microsoft access, where tables, data, queries etc are all
stored in one file <myfile.mdb>
But with the example I am following, not one but 4 files have been created:
COFFEEBREAK.data
COFFEEBREAK.backup
COFFEEBREAK.properties
COFFEEBREAK.script
the COFFEEBREAK.data file, looks like this (one line) in a text editor:
padding="0" cell
After I added data , using SQL ,I was expecting this file to grow ("as data rows were added") , but no change at all - still just one line.
The file that DOES change is the COFFEEBREAK.script file. The SQL instructions get added to the end of the file eg :
<various lines>
INSERT INTO FILES VALUES('.\COFFEEBREAK.properties','COFFEEBREAK.properties')
INSERT INTO FILES VALUES('.\COFFEEBREAK.data','COFFEEBREAK.data')
INSERT INTO COFFEES VALUES('French_Roast',49,8.99,0,0)
INSERT INTO COFFEES VALUES('Espresso',150,9.99,0,0)
INSERT INTO COFFEES VALUES('Colombian_Decaf',101,8.99,0,0)
INSERT INTO COFFEES VALUES('French_Roast_Decaf',49,9.99,0,0)
I had been expecting a single file ( a la Microsoft access) , with the data in it and not readable in ascii form.
Am I misunderstanding the structure of SQL / DBMS files , or is this just a pecularity of Hypersonic ??
How do I ship a finished Java application where a database can be interrogated - will the *.script file have to be shipped too? If so , all the data is there , so how is the DBMS password protected?
I'm confused ! Thanks in advance
M.

Thanks again for the response trejkaz.
If the database were encrypted, you could just use an ordinary SQL query tool to dump >> all the records to a text file, which would be just as readable as the .script file!I had in mind if the user name was "Bill" with his (self selected ) password "hisPass" then the encryption key would be derived from a mangled version of those two bits of data (eg qazBillwsxhisPass or whatever). As long as the mangling mechanism was secret hopefully that would stop access through regular SQL query tools.
You're giving them the software to read the database anyway .. what's the difference if they >> read the info from the flat file, compared to reading it through a program? Through the program the data is view only (maybe with a limited subset of the fields for printing). With a flat file a potential competitor gets a jump start by having an electronic copy to bootleg.
Two examples occurred to me, one simple & one closer to what I'm trying to achieve
1) An example of a multiple choice database for students where the computer tells them how they have done - couldnt the students just look up the answers beforehand in the script file ?
2) (hypothetical example) Suppose I'm an expert on gardening & I want to set up 'electronic garden advice' Inc. I prepare a database, say about 3000 records. A typical record may have a layout based on :
question
question ref. number
region
garden style ref.
plant type main
plant type sub
disease-prone?
commercial/non commercial
criticality weighting %
substitute plants
recommended treatments
preferred season
etc . Most of us can imagine more possible fields
Anyone can pay the $ , download the database & set themselves up as an expert, maybe extracting sub sets of the data, depending on their customers needs.
But any printouts might only have say the question & question number so the whole database woulnd't be printed to a text file from my Java app . (The non printed fields are used within the Java app say for cross referencing alternatives etc) so the whole database couldn't be downloaded via a print routine to a text file.
At the moment my options seem to be:
1) different SQL database , where the data isnt stored in ascii readable form
2) Just use a csv text file instead of dbms & write my own encryption
3) Encrypt the HSQL script file, have the java app decrypt it to a temp scratch file & load that way . (the problem there seems that in a multitasking OS, the user just copies the scratch file)
4) somehow do the decryption after loading from an encrypted script file but before presenting the data on screen.
5) any other ideas you can recommend...?!
Apologies for the long response, my thoughts on this are still evolving
Thanks again

Using thread to read a big number of files

Hi all,
I got a question with THREAD. Can you help me, please?
I have a class, PragFileLoader, to read many files in a folder. First readDir() reads whole directory and gets a list of file name. Then readFile() reads each file. And finally readLine() reads each line in a file. The problem here is a big number of files. So I have to construct many instances of PragFileLoader. However I should use some kind of lock in a file, which is read by certain PragFileLoader, to let other instances of PragFileLoader know that it's locked therefore these instances won't read the locked file, they gonna to read other files.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Vector;
public class PragFileLoader extends Thread{
    private Vector v;
     * Constructor
    public PragFileLoader() {
        v = new Vector();
     * Read a line
     * @param str a line to read
    public TrafficDataObject readLine(String fN, String str) {
        // Do something
    public synchronized void readFile(String fileName, File in, File err, File done) {
        try {
            Thread.sleep((int) (Math.random() * 100));
              // Do something
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use File | Settings | File Templates.
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use File | Settings | File Templates.
        notifyAll();
    public void readDir() {
        //   Vector v = new Vector();
        File in = new File(Preferences.PRAGINBOX);
        File err = new File(Preferences.PRAGERROR);
        err.mkdirs();
        File done = new File(Preferences.PRAGDONE);
        done.mkdirs();
        String[] fileName = in.list();
        for (int i = 0; i < fileName.length; i++) {
            //readFile(fileName, v, in, err, done);
readFile(fileName[i], in, err, done);
public Vector getV(){
return v;
public void run() {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
readDir();
try {
Thread.sleep((int) (Math.random() * 100));
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
And in main() I construct 10 instances of PragFileLoader and I got nothing

Do you have to make readDir() part of PragFileLoader?
Why don't you first read the directory once, and then assign the files to a thread each. I don't think it's efficient to have too many file reading threads running at the same time.

Limit to number of files that can be moved or copied?

I'm trying to move the contents of the "previous systems" folder (from my update to Leopard) to an external harddrive, but when I drag and drop the file name it starts the process but stays at "preparing to copy 16,850 items." It's still on that message in the dialogue box with the barber pole over an hour later.
My question is: Is there a limit to the number of files that can be moved/copied at one time? Or does it just take a very long time?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks, Katy. I left it up all night and it was in the same place in the morning, so I'm assuming it isn't going to go what I need done in one fell swoop. I had to relaunch Finder before the dialogue box would go away.
Moving all those files will have to wait, I guess, until I have enough time to break them into manageable chunks.

After upgrade, iTunes complaints with "original file could not be found"

After upgrading to 8.2.0.23, a large number of songs now have a ! in them and if I try to play them, iTunes will say with "The song xxx could not be used because the original file could not be found." This has happened to me before but never to this large number of files.
If it were only a handful of songs it wouldn't be an issue because iTunes allows me to locate it manually, which for first time, iTunes opens the dialog in the directory where the file is. I can click on the mp3 file and that's it. Problem is that from the on, the dialog opens in the same directory as the first song, which makes it very hard to navigate to the directory where the second song is (unless it's the same album of course). Multiply that by 1000 and it's an impossible task.
I've found that the problem is neither the itl file nor the xml file. I already tried the previous itl file and the problem persists.
After comparing the files that are OK with those missing in the .xml file, I found that iTunes is somehow messing up the location tag for files with underscores in the filename. For example, 01_mysong.mp3 gets replaced to 01%20-%20mysong.mp3 in the location tag in the xml file. If use iTunes to locate the file, which as I mentioned above fixes the issue, the location tag gets updated to the correct filename and a bunch of hex numbers get added to the comments tag.
Now, if I exit iTunes and change the location tag to the correct filename in the xml file with a text editor, iTunes magically messes up the tag again when it comes up.
I tried unchecking the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" but that didn't help.
At first I thought it was an issue with the comments tag and that only mp3 files downloaded from Amazon had the problems. It seems that ALL those songs have the problem but there are a few other songs I got from the iTunes store that are also messed up.
I have not moved any songs at all, this just happened all by itself after upgrading.
I also tried re-adding the folders where all the Amazon mp3 files are, but this created duplicate entries in the library. Unfortunately, even though the new entries do play, they don't have ratings or play count.
Is there any way I could fix this without losing my ratings and play counts and without having to manually fix every song one by one?
I'll appreciate any hint you can provide.
Thanks

I have the same problem except almost every song I bought from Itunes has this problem. Not only that, but somehow some of the music, about $125 worth has been deleted form my 3 back up discs. This is only happening with my purchases and not any songs I uploaded from cd. How on earth did this happen, and how did it wipe clean 3 different back ups? I have found some of the music where it belongs, but like I said some of them are gone, gone, gone. I run three different back ups and they are on 24/7. Where is all of this music? I still have it on my ipod, but it will not load back into itunes the way purchases used to. Some of the music is purchased straight to my ipod touch, but shouldn't i be able to reload them into itunes? I spent 3 hours going 1 song at a time reloading them from their original location. But I cannot locate about $125 worth of music that I purchased from itunes. I have 6 macs in my family and preach the good news to all who will listen about hows macs are flawless. Now I have egg all over my face and have thrown away a nice sum of money on missing music. Please help!

Big number of files (physical + logical) opened by a SAP -related job

Hello,
We are implementing SAP ECC 6.0 on IBM System i (iSeries) 9406-550, i5/OS V5R4.
SAP is implemented on sub-system R3_00, and the different SAP processes are served by OS/400 jobs : WP00, WP01, WP02,etc.
The noticeable thing is that since the very beginning of the working day, the number of open files (Physical + Logical) opened by one job (e.g. WP00) is extremely big (900 1000 files), and it remains big during the whole day; i.e. it varies by a small extent.
The question is : is this a natural behavior of SAP, or is there something that we are missing that causes the un-necessary files to be closed after the relevant requirements are fulfilled.
The problem with the huge number of files opened by a job is that the big number of file ODPs exhausts the memory extensively, the thing which causes the memory faults to be high, thus impacting negatively the system performance.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Best regards.

Hi Reda,
that is exactly working as designed ....
Yes, the memory utilization is not too low because of that but on the other hand, it would be very expensive to close and open over and over again ...
So, you have to deal with this somehow.
The following is the default setting, that is active on your site as well: (You should be able to see these values in the dev_w0 etc ...)
ODP Threshold:
dbs/db4/odp_threshold     =          800
ODP Commit Threshold:
dbs/db4/odp_commit_threshold     =          810
ODP Open Threshold:
dbs/db4/odp_open_threshold     =          850
(This is true even when you experience 900-1200 - this is just a "mis-adding" more or less ...)
If you are really interested in: Try to change these parameters - but that is on your own risk, I do not have good experience with that ...

Max Number of files supported by new Zen Touch Firmwar

Hello
I used to have about 34gigs of music on my zen touch with the old firmware. But now it will only accept about 20 gigs. Does anyone know what is the max number of files that zen touch supports with new firmware ?
Thank You

Has anyone verified that this is true of MTP players as well? I doubt it'll be different (the tag-data library system is common to all Nomad-type Creative players, whether PDE or MTP), but with all the changes needed for MTP, it would be helpful.
I don't have a 40Gb Touch, which is really the kind of player you'd need to test this.
BTW, I was referring to the overall capacity limit, which is tied more to space than to number of songs; that was what Creative was talking about when they said MTP reduces the Touch's song capacity. Having a Micro myself, I've never had enough capacity to test the internal song limits.
Free space is pretty obvious, and the initial question was relating to number of files and any potential limit. I'm not sure what it is about MTP that reduces the space, whether it's the firmware, file system, or some addition to the files.
