Way to view file extension in thumbnail name

In the Browser, each thumbnail has the name of the file listed below it, but without the file extension. Is there a way to get the extension to show up next to the file name?

It's not quite a simple as you'd think...
Version names don't contain the original file extension because until you export the file using one of the presets it's not really relevant.
You can change to viewing the +file name+ in grid view*, but as you can't change this once the images are imported it's probably not that useful.
If you just want to quickly see the filename, hit 'T' to bring up the image tooltips, the default metadata view for this starts with the filename, then hover over any image.

*Make a new metadata view which has the filename as the first item, then hit Command-J to bring up the view options and change the Grid View metadata view to that view. See the Aperture manual or http://www.bagelturf.com/aparticles/metadata/msets/index.html for more info on making metadata views.

In Lion 10.7.5 is there a way to view files in alphabetical order in column view?

In Lion 10.7.5 when viewing files/folders in column view, if I select arrange by name it does not sort the names alphabetically. Is this a bug or is there a way to view files in alphabetical order in column view?

I've been using Column View for years and have it set to None:
It has always shown in alphabetical order automatically.

Need the file extensions database table name

Hi,
I need to know the Database table name for file extensions in WCC.
Please check the image for reference .

Hi 2790552
Please look at file doc_config.htm in the location <middleware_home>/Oracle_ECM1/ucm/idc/resources/core/tables/doc_config.htm
This is the file which helps in building the applet view.
I do belive that revisions and documents table might be used for validation and other specific things, but thats more in the context of document processing and from component IBR at runtime. But administration sake, i thing it works from the these config files since database doesn't have any table to hold this info.

Is there a quicker way to hide file extensions on multiple files.

So, there's the real filename (visible in Terminal) and then the displayed name in Finder and some other applications such as Front Row. Well, I'm using Front Row and I would like my AVI files to display just the name of the movie - not the full filename.
OS X allows me to change each file individually to hide the extension (either by renaming it in Finder or by checking 'hide extension' in the file's info box) and also allow the whole curtain to be pulled back via a setting in Finder's preferences. But there doesn't seem to be a way to hide the extensions of a particular bunch of files en masse.
What I would like to know is: Is there a quicker way to do this for all my AVI files? There doesn't seem to be an Automator task that will change file properties (other than permissions). Is there a way I could do it at the command line perhaps? I'm fairly handy with Unix shell scripts and Perl - I'm just relatively new to OS X, that's all.

The basic mechanism is to select all the files you wish to change then hold down the OPTION key and select Show Inspector from the Finder's File menu. Check the box to hide extension. This will set the preference for all selected files.
If your files are scattered all over the place, then use the Finder's Find function to find all files with the extension attribute you want, then save the result as a Smart Folder. Then select all files in the Smart Folder you created and do the above.

Viewing file extensions as part of photo name?

How can I set iPhoto to display the extension of every photo in every view where it displays the photo name? I often have several versions of a photo, which look very similar in thumbnail views. The only way I know to see which is the RAW file, which is the jpeg or tiff or even Photoshop file, is to right-click, or to keep the rather large and annoying Extended Photo Info box open. Isn't there some way to simply show all filenames with their extensions attached, so that I could look in any Event or Album and see at a glance which one is the .cr2 or .jpg or .tif etc? I certainly don't want to create albums with just the jpegs and more albums with just the RAW files. I like having them together but it's a nuisance and a time-waster not to be able to just read the file names to know which is which. SURELY there is a way!

How do i customize the way i view files in finder?

OK so i realize I can click on the icons in the upper eft corner to change from cover flow to list view etc but when you do that it becomes the default view no matter what folder you open. I am a recent windows convert and in windows you can have list view for one folder and thumbnail view in another and it remembers. The problem I have with a single default view is that if Ichange to cover flow to view photos and then open a folder that is just a list of documents I hav to switch back each time I go form one to the other. I also get an error message telling me you cant view documents this way. Is there some way to set a different default view for each folder?

As a recent convert I'd recommend book marking and using the following links. They're really invaluable for recent switchers.

Any way to skip file extension dialog in Finder?

This one drives me crazy. I download a lot of pdf files that do not arrive in my downloads folder as .pdf files, and I need to quickly rename them in the finder (not in batch, but one at a time as they happen) without having to go through the "are you sure you want to add the .pdf extension?" dialog box.
Similarly, how can one tab between choices in such boxes and chose the highlighted box as an action? If I tab over to "use .pdf" button, it appears to be highlighted, but nothing happens.

Well, I wish I could take credit for knowing it was there before two days ago... but I dropped my laptop a couple months ago and it finally died for good on Friday, and I noticed this on the new laptop when setting up my Finder preferences.

Viewing file names in vlc in ipad

Hi .. I'm not sure if the topic made sense.. Here is what Im trying to do ..
Say if I'm copying bunch of episodes from a series or movies and copy to vlc via itunes, when i try to open vlc and pick any episode, it only shows me first few letters of the file. Its quite common that all the files starts with same name..(eg. Naruto_Episode or Friends_Season_ )
Is there any way to view file name and then select it accordingly ? OR is there any other software which is out there I can use for this purpose
I spent some amount of time in renaming every files before i copied them to iPad.I dont want to do that everytime ..
Any suggestions / Thoughts ?
Thanks in Advance

Completely agree!
What were the developers thinking when they hid info as basic as file name from users once imported. Even mom/pop videos like a hockey high lights vid might have 15-20 vid clips coming in at random times and different sources.
To make users suffer with this crippled GUI just has to be one of those decisions you cynically think were made for $$$$ reasons...
ie cripple a useful cheaper tool like iMovie so users with even modest projects has to buy/learn the more expensive tool.
Thanks apple!

Display File Extension in iPhoto?

I've just started to use iphoto. In the thumbnail view of an event (or for that matter, anytime I'm viewing a display of thumbnails), I would like iphoto to display file name and file extension. It's not doing that and I can't see a setting in iphoto preferences to enable file extensions. I know there's a Finder preference to show all extensions, and it is checked.
Is there a way to display file extensions?

Yes.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

File extensions ?

Using Pages 5.5 How do I enable (view) file extensions?
Thanks!

File extensions - can't see

I have the option to view file extensions in my folders.
However, I cannot
see the file extensions. i am having some problems with some
things and I
want to make sure I am downloading the *exact* same file from
my server
(where I can see the file extensions just fine. Though they
are checked to
be viewed, I've tried unchecking, rechecking, rebooting.
Ugh.
Thanks,
Libbi

You cannot see file extensions in DW's files panel?
I never heard of such a thing.

Missing file extension

Hi everyone,
We noticed there was no file extension in clip names captured by Final Cut Pro. We switched on the "show file extension" in finder's preference, but it doesn't change anything.
Is there anything I've missed

not quite Nicolas
although that will ceratinly work if that is what you want/need to do.
the issue here is that the 'correct' suffix/extension is not needed.
historically, Mac OS has not used file type extensions, they have used resource fork data (file type and creator code - metadata held within the header block of the file itself)
as Apple has progressed to Mac OS X they have distanced themselves from this kind of metadata in many applications ... but not universally. FCP being a prime example.
if you come from a PC world you may well assume that your files absolutely need this kind of naming extension, but in a Mac world this is not at all the case. your clips do not need to be named .mov files or what have you. they will still be .mov files even without the extension.
hope that helps
Andy

Looking for software to view file in Text/Hex mode

Hi:
Please bear with me. I just migrated from Windows development and what was widely used there was the way to view files in a Text or Hex mode. I was using the Far Manager that was like an old DOS file manager that allowed all those low-level operations. Is there something like this for a Mac?

Den B. wrote:
Yeah, pretty much. As I said I came from Windows development and although I love a lot of new stuff provided in XCode, I'm still missing some of my old tools.
I wouldn't try to replicate your old Windows experience. Single-key operations aren't the Mac's strengths. Maybe look at Quicksilver. It will be listed on page 2 of iUseThis's top applications. There are a few hundred other applications there you might be interested in.
1. It gave a text based file system browser. Take a look at the screenshot:
http://www.simplehelp.net/images/winfileman/far/filemanager00.jpg
The benefit of using it was that it was showing all hidden and system files that otherwise would be hidden in the Finder, etc.
Most developers take advantage of MacOS X's UNIX heritage and use the command line.
2. If I highlighted a file (any file) and hit F3 it would open it as text. It also had an option to open it as Hex/Oct/Dec array. It had a built in text search, etc. This is what 0xED does, so I'll definitely keep it. Here's the screenshot of the tool I was using:
http://dns-300.sergeyzh.org/wiki/media/howto/ramdisksearch.png?w=&h=&cache=cache
3. I could also change attributes on each file by doing F9 and then attributes. This feature would be very handy too, especially on a UNIX based system.
Ever tried ⌘ i ?
I don't use keyboard shortcuts so I can't provide good suggestions. I'm pretty sure you could create any number of automator or AppleScripts to do any of these things and bind them to keystrokes.

Hide file extension from display in the iview

Hello my friends,
I display KM folder content in an iView in my portal. I want to hide the files extension but I just cann't find out how to do it.
Thanks in advance,
Udi Dekel.

Hi Udi,
There is no such standard feature, but at least one possible workarounds:
- You may use a display name like "MyDocument" and the ID will be "MyDocument.doc" or whatever. The standard ResourceRenderer render the display name (with the ID as a tooltip)
A "solution" for all cases where the display name has got the file extension in its name would be to write your own property renderer for the display names, which then checks if there is a file extension, and if, then cut this off.
Hope it helps

IPhone photo/video library glitch - wrong file extensions, name shift, lost files etc [LONG story - sorry]

I have a 5s running 7.0.4. and my computer is running Windows 8.1.
We had a baby and my phone filled up fast with pictures and videos, so I decided to offload them onto my PC. I connected my phone to the usb port, and directly copied from the DCIM folder to my hard drive.
Something happened during the first attempt, and the process was interrupted. So I went into each of the sub folders, and selected all files, and started the copy process again. I told the computer to skip any existing files.
So all the file counts matched in each folder, and I figured it was safe to start deleting from my iPhone.
On my hard drive, I separated all the MOV files into my Videos folder. But in Windows Explorer, the thumbnail view showed several MOV files with no thumbnail - just the generic icon.
As I sorted my photos into various folders, I also noticed a lot of generic icons instead of thumbnails for the JPGs. I started to feel concerned that my files had become corrupt during the transfer. But then I noticed a PNG file that was a few hundred megabytes. This was odd, so I added the MOV extension to it. Sure enough, it was a video with the wrong extension.
I renamed every PNG and JPG file that had no thumbnail to add the MOV extension. Every one was a video with the wrong file extension.
Then I went to the video folder, and all the MOV files that had the generic icon were actually JPG files.
Well I was just happy to see that the files were not corrupt.
One more time before I deleted things from my iPhone, I did a spot check to see that the largest videos were on my hard drive. I found a few videos that were not copied over, despite the file counts having been accurate. So I copied the videos again, and compared file sizes and date/times when there was an overwrite prompt. Most were matches, but several were the same file name with different sizes and dates.
I didn't know what was going on, but I just wanted to get the files on my computer. So I renamed my local copy where there was a name collision, and copied the videos. I deleted the videos from my phone as I went along.
I felt pretty confident that I had all the files copied now, so I began mass deleting my photos.
I went to the Photos app on the phone, and watched the thousands of pictures disappear, and the glorious free space grow on my phone.
But wait... there was still 1 video in the Photos app. I thought I had gotten all the MOV files off the phone...
I have a photo info app installed, so I was able to see the file name of the video. I searched for that file name in the DCIM subfolders, but the folder that had that series of files (the IMG_3000-3999 files) listed the files with that particular video skipped. It was clearly still on my phone, because I could play it.
Then I noticed it was a 45 minute long video of my baby. About 5 GB. So I figured it must be due to the file size that it wasn't visible from explorer. (Can't explain why that would be, but M$ keeps changing crap too. I never freaking know what to expect from them either.)
After having deleted all the jpg, png and mov files from the DCIM folder, there were still about 26 files in my camera roll on the iPhone. And I could still view the video.
I decided I wasn't concerned about the photos, I just wanted to figure out how to get the video onto my computer.
So I selected all the photos in the photo app (skipping the 1 remaining video) and tapped the trash can.
Poof! One item remained, and it was one of the garbage photos. My video is GONE! ^#@*&#($^@Q&%( And no, I didn't fat-finger it. I was very careful to select the correct thumbnails.
Looking back, I know that I should have just started the entire file copy process from scratch when funny stuff started happening like mismatched file names. But I am a sleep-deprived new mom and just wasn't thinking clearly. It would be nice if I could have used my file/directory compare program to check the iPhone against my laptop, but it is not compatible with devices, only removable drives.
And no, I don't use iTunes. I stopped using iTunes years ago when it would randomly decide to delete contacts from my phone just because they didn't exist on my computer or some sh-- like that. I have always just manually synced all my stuff and have never had an issue like this. To say I am sad to lose that video is an understatement.
I googled "iPhone undelete" and "iPhone data recovery" and downloaded a trial for one of the likely candidates. It turned up a bunch of garbage, but not my video.
Anyways... I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of scenario? Has anybody identified what could cause this to happen? I would like to avoid this in the future. (I will avoid this type of loss, because I know now what I could have done differently to be more careful. But it would be nice if I didn't have to get all neurotic about checking 60GB of photos/videos side by side each time I copy them to my computer...)
I have seen other threads on the forum here regarding corrupted libraries and such, but I am not sure this is the same thing.
One suspicion I have is that it might have to do with the iPhoto app being installed on the phone. I can't articulate why I think that is worth considering. But when I looked at my Video folder, I ended up with many duplicate videos, and all the duplicated videos' file names were 2 numbers apart. As if all the file names got shifted at some point. Very strange.
Thanks for listening to my rant. If anybody has an idea, I am interested. If anybody else has lost precious memories due to this, we should talk. If it is a widespread problem, maybe we can all get together and pound down Apple's door?
As an aside: Why am I unable to select Apple Support Community to post this question to?

In my case number of weird things happen whenever I try to copy pictures/videos from my iPhone from direct USB...
1. JPG files are wrongly named as MOV and vice versa.
2. I copy only folders but in addition files with no extension are copied in the main folder, very strange.
3. Whenever I open one of the folders, strange icons like this () start appearing which cannot be copied even.
Unfortunately I used to delete a lot of files with wrong extensions in the past because I never new they could be fixed.
Apple should answer this!
Note: I am using Windows 8.1 and use a direct USB cable without iTunes to copy the media files directly from My Computer.
