What are the weird files that start with ._ that pc users get when I send zips?
When I send files that I zip using Stuiffit to pc users they get the files plus an equal number of files that start with ._ Does anybody know what these are and how to get rid of them?
Thanks!
Karen
Dot files are invisible files that OS X uses to display positions of files and folders icon for instance when you open a folder.
That is indeed what a .DS_Store file does, but that's not the ones Bogies is referring to.
There are various other items that start with a period, such as .Trashes. Every drive gets a trash folder, just as Windows does to each of its drives. While it hides its own trash folders from view, Windows doesn't recognize OS X's version of the trash folder, so you see it.
But you're likely talking about these. Every file you copy from OS X to a DOS/Windows formatted drive gets a ._ file. The Mac OS has a twin file system; the data fork, and the resource fork. Windows has only a data fork.
In order for OS X to maintain the resource fork data on a Windows drive, it has to write the resource data as a separate data fork file. So a file named foo.tif will also get a ._foo.tif file on the drive. Mac users don't see them since UNIX automatically hides anything that starts with a period. When you copy the file back to OS X, the data and resource fork info is combined again into a normal Mac file.
Most of the time, removing these are no big deal. They hold simple data like Type and Creator codes, modification dates, icons, etc. Others, like Mac Type 1 PostScript or Mac legacy TrueType fonts have all of the font data in the resource fork. Delete the ._ files for those types of fonts, and you're left with nothing.

Hi,
We have seen that. Thanks.
Now, how could we add multiple tiems to ATG's shopping cart before redirecting the user to ATG's home?
The scenario we see is:
User navigates on a Marketing website, spots items he/she is interested in and add them to the LOCAL shopping cart (without leaving the current website), after adding many items he/she decides to buy these items buy clicking FINISH, at this moment we add the N items to ATG shopping cart (how??) and redirect the user to ATG's home.
Is that possible?

What are the data files in the Proxies folder?
In the iMovie Projects folder tree there are folders called Proxies. In that folder there is a folder called the name of the projects events folder, twice, with %20 for spaces and such. In that folder there are a large number of data files like 2010.data and such. What are these data files? In one case there are 861 of them and they take up 5.1 MB. Thanks.

An iMovie project is a bundle?
Yes. What appears in the Finder as a singel file is really a bundle of files.
But what are they?
I can't tell you exactly - but I'm sure there's data there that allows iMovie to undo things you've already done, references the event clips used in the movie, thumbnails, backups, transitions you've used - that kind of thing.
I deleted them on a junk project and so no ill effect, though I didn't check all the things you can do with a project.
Even so, I'd restrict that kind of experimentation to junk projects.
Regardless of whether it's safe to delete them, I'd like to know what they are.
Fair question. I wish I could tell you more.

I see tutorials and have completed some simple app creations using edge animate and phone gap. The app I want to build I would like to have user sign in features, analytic (flurry) integration and use location based features within the app.
I am fairly new to all this so I am just looking for some suggestions on how to or links for starting points.
Thanks!Lut,
Welcome to the forum.
What are the full specs. of your MOD, and M2v files?If you do not know exactly, you can use G-Spot, or MediaInfo, to gather that info.
That info might help pinpoint the issue.
Good luck,

What are the steps for using Bobj with ECC
Hi,
I have the ECC 6 with EHP4 system, now i want to use BusinessObjects for reporting purpose. I dont have the BI installed, What are the pre-requisit for installaing and using Bobj with web intelegence and crystal report. Dose BI is must for bobj to work? Please explain in steps what are the things i have to do.
Thanks
Rajib ImranIt looks like you are new to BOBJ. BI is the service name and BOBJ is the product name in SAP.
Since you have not mentioned your version of BOBJ, I assume you are in the latest version...
To date, there is no direct connectivity available between ECC and BI 4.0 (current release of BOBJ).
You may need to use one of some of the following ways:
1. Using Plug and play Rapid marts (using Data Services)
2. Build your own custom marts (using Data Services)
3. Building SAP BW and using SAP integration kit
Having said, there is a plan for direct connectivity between SAP ECC and BI 4.0 in the upcoming enhancement to BI 4.0.
Please refer the link below for more details:
