When I change meta data, File name changes too

In iTunes 11.1.3 I have been modifying the Music file ID3 tags (or what ever they're called). I've found, though, that when I change the song name in the "Get Info" dialog box, it also changes the ACTUAL file name of the song.
For example.
I download a a CD and the CD information is downloaded. Then when I drag the newly created mp3 into iTunes and select "Get Info" to modify all of the information.
Once i hit Okay or Next. I watch the File name in Finder change as well.
How do I keep it from doing this?

Event Guy,
Glad it helped. (I also do not like iTunes to mess with the filenames.)
Enjoy the music!

SQL*Loader to insert data file name during load

I'd like to use a single control file to load data from different files (at different times) to the same table. I'd like this table to have a column to hold the name of the file the data came from. Is there a way for SQL*Loader to automatically do this? (I.e., as opposed to running an update query separately.) I can edit the control file before each load to set a CONSTANT to hold the new data file name, but I'd like it to pick this up automatically.
Thanks for any help.

Hello Harvey.
I've previously attempted to store a value into a global/local OS variable and use this within a SQL*Loader control file (Unix OS and Oracle versions between 7.3.4 and 10g). I was unsuccessful in each attempt and approach I could imagine. It was very easy to use a sed script to make a copy of the control file, changing a string within it to do this however.
Do you really want to store a file name on each and every record? Perhaps an alternative would be to use a relational model. Create a file upload log table that would store the file name and an upload # and then have the SQL*Loader control file call a function that would read that table for the most recent upload #. You'll save some disk space too.
Hope this helps,
Luke

How to store data file name in one of the columns of staging table

My requirement is to load data from .dat file to oracle staging table. I have done following steps:
1. Created control file and stored in bin directory.
2. Created data file and stored in bin directory.
3. Registered a concurrent program with execution method as SQL*Loader.
4. Added the concurrent program to request group.
I am passing the file name as a parameter to concurrent program. When I am running the program, the data is getting loaded to the staging table correctly.
Now I want to store the filename (which is passed as a parameter) in one of the columns of staging table. I tried different ways found through Google, but none of them worked. I am using the below control file:
OPTIONS (SKIP = 1)
LOAD DATA
INFILE '&1'
APPEND INTO TABLE XXCISCO_SO_INTF_STG_TB
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
COUNTRY_NAME
,COUNTRY_CODE
,ORDER_CATEGORY
,ORDER_NUMBER
,RECORD_ID "XXCISCO_SO_INTF_STG_TB_S.NEXTVAL"
,FILE_NAME CONSTANT "&1"
,REQUEST_ID "fnd_global.conc_request_id"
,LAST_UPDATED_BY "FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID"
,LAST_UPDATE_DATE SYSDATE
,CREATED_BY "FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID"
,CREATION_DATE SYSDATE
,INTERFACE_STATUS CONSTANT "N"
,RECORD_STATUS CONSTANT "N"
I want to store file name in the column FILE_NAME stated above. I tried with and without constant using "$1", "&1", ":$1", ":&1", &1, $1..... but none of them worked. Please suggest me the solution for this.
Thanks,
Abhay

Date, File name, User Stamp

I've looked for hours for a script that will work in Illustrator CS4 that will put a text block on the page identifying:
Date, File Name and the User's name on the document (art board)
I am not versed in scripting. Can anyone help me out?

Hi Y'all This post is where scripting all started for me. At the time I didn't know anything and Muppet Mark kindly helped me out. Since then I have learned Applescript and written my slug script in that. This has the advantage of being able to access system information. Here it is:
-- captures the user's first name from the system for use in dialog boxes
set myName to (long user name of (system info))
set sp to (offset of " " in myName)
set myFirstName to text 1 thru (sp - 1) of myName
-- captures the user's short name from the system for use in the slug
set myShortName to (short user name of (system info))
set myInitials to text 1 thru 2 of myShortName

Sql loader:loading data file name to one of the tabe column.

Hi,
I want to load the data file name also to one of the table column.
Table structure:
File_Name varchar2
Name varchar2
Age number
Data File Format:
Vijay|24
Anandh|24
Senthil|26
In the above eg how to write a control file to load the data file name to the File_Name column of the table.
Note:
The shell script will first pick up the data files to be loaded and calls the control file.
Thanks,
Vijay.

From a unix load perspective this is what we have done :
Create a control file (say load_data.ctl) something like
LOAD DATA
append
Into table file_name_age
File_Name constant '<FILENAME>',
Name CHAR TERMINATED BY '|'
Age INTEGER EXTERNAL TERMINATED BY '|' )
in a unix loop do the following
for i in `ls $LOADDIR` ; do
#Replace <FILENAME> with actual filename and create a temp ctl file
sed s/\<FILENAME\>/${1}/g < ${CTLDIR}/load_data.ctl > ${TMPDIR}/load_data_${1}.ctl
#load using temp file
sqlldr / CONTROL=${TMPDIR}/load_data_${1}.ctl
DATA=$i
#remove temp
rm ${TMPDIR}/load_data_${1}.ctl
done
Where
${TMPDIR}=your temp directory
${CTLDIR}=where your main directory for ctl files
$LOADDIR=Your data directory

Insert data file name into table from sql loader

Hi All,
I have a requirement to insert the data file name dynamically into table using sql loader.
Example:
sqlldr userid=username/passwword@host_string control=test_ctl.ctl data=test_data.dat
test_ctl.ctl
LOAD DATA
FILED TERMINATED BY ','
INTO TABLE test
(empid number,
ename varchar2(20),
file_name varchar2(20) ---------- This should be the data file name which can be dynamic (coming from parameter)
test_data.dat
1,test
2,hello
3,world
4,end
Please help..
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anuj

you'll probably have to write your control file on the fly, using a .bat or .sh file
rem ===== file : test.bat ========
rem
rem ============== in pseudo speak =============
rem
rem
echo LOAD DATA > test.ctl
echo FILED TERMINATED BY ',' >> test.ctl
echo INTO TABLE test >> test.ctl
echo (empid number, >> test.ctl
echo ename varchar2(20), >> test.ctl
echo file_name constant %1% >> test.ctl
echo ) >> test.ctl
rem
rem
rem
sqlldr userid=username/passwword@host_string control=test.ctl data=test_data.dat
rem =============== end of file test.bat =======================

Possibility of capturing data file name in SQL * Loader

Hi,
I have a requirement to capture the data file name in the staging table, is there a way that i can capture it in SQL * Loader or any other way of doing it.
Need experts suggestion please.
Thanks,
Genoo

Hi Genoo.
how do we capture the file name and stores in the temporary table
You may use the above command mentioned in my previous post (if Linux) to populate the Test.csv file with the available file name in the directory, i.e:
ls /some/path/*.dat | xargs -n1 basename > /home/oracle/Test.csv
1. Ensure to first load the Test.csv file as for eg:
1,aaa
2,bbb
3,ccc
2. Create a control file to load these records into temporary tables,for eg:
load data
infile '/home/oracle/Test.csv'
into table file_name_upload
fields terminated by ","
( id, file_name )
3. Create the respective table in the database:
create table file_name_upload
id number,
file_name varchar2(20)
4. Load the data into temporary table
sqlldr test/test control=/home/oracle/sqlldr_test.ctl

SQLLoader: Uploading data file name along with data

Target Data File Name and Path

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy a mapping that writes data into a file, but I need to dynamically set the name and the directory where I want to write this file. The only workaround I found was manually change the pl/sql generated code and change the values in the FOPEN call with a parameter, but this is no what I really want to do. Does anyone know how to tell WB not to hardcode the file name and path?
I really appreciate you time,
thanks in advance,
Matias

Carla,
Unfortunately our releases do not go that fast...
What you could do as an intermediate solution (this is what I would do) is create your mapping and load into a staging table (this can happen in set-based mode so would be fast). In a post mapping process you manually write to the flat file by making the calls to FOPEN etc. by selecting from the staging table. The post mapping process can have an input parameter that you dynamically pass (i.e. via a mapping parameter) and set the file name.
Mark.

Receiving ERROR meassage when trying to copy..file name too long.

Hello.
There is an error code number, but didn't write it down...will do so, if no-one can answer this question at the minute. I am not at the Mac at the moment, so this post is pre-emptive.
Problem:
If I try to copy over a folder with photoshop images onto another drive, the copy is incomplete due to the name/s of the files being too long, apparently.
The error message says something to the effect: 'the names are too long can't complete copy'.
The file names are about 10-12 [at most]characters in length.
Please advise
Chris

If the drive is formatted HFS then you are limited to 32 characters on a file name. If it is formatted HFS + then you can have file names as long as 255 characters. I am not familiar withi the format you say the drive is formatted in so I can't speak to it.
If you are receiving -50 errors that can indicate a file name that is too long OR an illegal character in the filename regardless of its length.
If you are actually using 10.3.8 as your profile states then that may be part of the problem. Many of these problems existed in 10.3.X but were fixed in 10.4
I remember that 10.3.8 had issues copying to external drives when there were more than a certain number of characters in a filename. I don't remember the number but for some reason 10 or 12 is what comes to mind. It caused me many problems when I would try and copy files to a Zip disk that I used to have. Since I updated to 10.4 those issues have never occured again.
Since you know what folder the problematic files are in why not just open the folder and try to copy files one at a time. When you get to the one(s) that is a problem, change the file name to something shorter.
A better solution would be to update to 10.4 but with 10.5 coming out sometime in the Spring of 2007 this may not be the time.

No image preview in Bridge and unable to write meta data files

I recently converted my CR2 files to DNG files using the DNG converter. For the most part it worked. However, for some files, something went wrong. When I looked at a folder of newly converted dng files using Bridge, I noticed that some files didn't have a preview. These same files won't allow meta data to be written either. Are these files corrupt? What is wrong and how do I fix it? I tried to open these files in CR and they do open. Wierd thing is that if I open the file in CR, then click save file as dng, it will then show a preview in Bridge.

Yes. The original RAW file (CR2) allows me to write metadata. In fact, if I write the metadata to the CR2 file first, then convert to DNG, all the metadata is there - even for the files that at first do not have a preview in Bridge.
But the reason I'm converting to DNG is because I want my original archive files to be in a non-propriatory format.
Even though I can get around the current issues of no preview and writing metadata, my main concern is whether or not there is a problem with the conversion. I don't want to find out later that the file is corrupt. I'm worried that the issues with previewing and writing metadata are symptoms of some bigger problem.
Any ideas?

Printing Data File name on report...

I need the datafile names to print on a report - we give the user serval files to choose from on the report and it would be nice to have the one selected as a note on the report

we use a formula that alowes the to select say a file named New or Current. Both data files are layed out te same just different data. We have a internal formula.
Formula: tsAskFile
Description Use the tsAskFile formula to limit the file types the operator can choose when
the report runs. This formula applies to the main report. It also applies to all
subreports unless you use the tsSubAskFile formula on the subreports. This
formula does not have file merging capabilities. If you use the following formula
example on a report design, the report will prompt the operator to choose
between the New.glt file and the Current.glt file when the report runs. Without
the formula on the report, the operator could choose whatever file codes are
available.
Syntax u201C[<file type>(<file code name>[,<file code name>]*)]u201D
<file type> = the abbreviation of the data file type; for example: BLI, GLT, APT,
etc.
<file code name> = the file code name of the data file; for example: new, current,
history, active, standard, etc.
Example @tsAskFile = u201CGLT(new,current)u201D or u201CGLT(new, current)JCT(current)u201D
So we want to know which one the choose.

When I change meta data, File name changes too
