Why does searching by file name ignore files that are there?

This is NOT a question about Spotlight. I'm using the old-fashioned command-F method of searching, and I'm searching for terms within a file name, i.e "Name Contains _". When I type in the name of a known file and search for it, it doesn't show up. These are not particularly long or unusual file names. This is a disaster, to say the least.
Why is this happening and how do I fix it? Is something corrupt? (My computer is quite new, though I have put lots of files on it from my old computer.) I've checked permissions and run disk utility on my hard disk and they're all fine. What gives?

Thank you. Spotlight is indexing away as I type this. Will check out EasyFind too.
As a brody said that is still using Spotlight.
There can be 2 reasons for this 1) Spotlight does not
search in some system folders, 2) Spotlight is not
indexing.
EasyFind is my recommendation, works well and is free
and is spotlight independent.
You can get Spotlight to re-index by opening up the
preferences pane, click on Privacy, add the hard
drive you want to re-index to Privacy. Then remove
it and close preferences, Spotlight will immediately
start indexing the hard drive again.

Why does 4.5 mail keep removing emails that are 10 days old

Why does 4.5 mail keep removing emails that are 10 days old.

Ten days isn't an option I'm familiar with; perhaps it's a new option in Lion? Prior OS's had choices like one day, week, month, etc.
If not being apparently set in your email client, it's possibly been set or is set by default at the server level. To check and change that you'll have to access it directly, usually by logging into that domain directly.

Why does the file Name for file attached with Annotations "Attach File" (paperclip) become Unknown when Comments are Published?

Our company recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the purpose of using it for shared electronic reviews. We are using Send for Shared Review created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, and all the Comment tools work as expectedexcept the paperclip in Annotations.
When a Word or Excel or Image(png,jpeg) file is attached using the Annotations paperclip, the initiator can initially see and open it. But after Publish Comments is selected and the review file is closed, the file "Name" changes to "Unknown" (although the Description has the correct file name and extension). The Modified information is Unknown, as is the Size and Compressed Size.
When the review file is then re-opened, even the initiator cannot open the file, although:
The file location is marked with the paperclip within the document.
The file name is shown in the Comments List with the initiator's name.
In the Attachments list (the paperclip beneath the Thumbnails and Bookmarks) the Name appears as Unknown, Description shows the file name, Modified is Unknown, Size is Unknown, and Compressed Size is Unknown.
The file Name cannot be edited, although the file Description can be.
We have followed the procedure described in the tutorials but cannot figure out how to troubleshoot this situation. Since this feature was the reason for the purchase of Adobe Acrobat Pro IX, we would any help. Please don't leave out any basics since we are all new users.
We have several people with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and the rest have Adobe Reader XI and it is a Windows platform. Can someone please give us some advice how to get this feature to work as described?

FYI Rave,
There are some other forum entries with this exact same issue...:

Custom File Name-Original File Number doesn't work. Why?

I want to export and rename some files with the "Custom File Name-Original File Number" option. Yet this doesn't seem to work, and I wondered what I might be doing wrong. The filename will only rename as the custom text.
The sample file name shown underneath has a dash after the custom text bit, but then the extension only eg Newname-.tif
I am now using LR 4.2 but I seem to remember doing this renaming OK with an earlier version (though I can't remember which). This suggest that either there is a problem with this specific version or that I have something set differently to the way I had it initially. I am hoping the latter is the case. Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be welcome!

I am sorry to report that i don't know how to create a screenshot. However, what I am getting, exact;ly is this:
From Library grid view: F2 or Library>Rename Photo
Then little screen appears with heading Rename Photo:
File Naming> set to Custom Name - Original File Number
Custom Text> NewFilenameHere
Example: NewFilenameHere-.tif
Clicking on OK changes the filename to just the custom text without the original file number. Original File name shows in metadata eg DSC01129-Edit.tif
The only way i seem to be able to get the original file number with the custom text is to include it manually as part of the custom text.

When I send out mail from MS Outlook enterprise account in the office to my Mac at home they are received as "winmail.dat" files. Even if I perform a "save as" to the correct file name the file format is still not recognized. Why is this happening!?

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.

Could be systems logs or some other system file growing.

File Name and File Content not gettinng passed from Proxy to Business Serv

Hi All ,
I have a requirement in OSB , where i need to pick the file from remote Source and FTP the files to Remote Target .Below are the steps which i did to achieve this.
1.Created a FTP Adapter in JDeveloper to Get the files from Source and a FTP Adpater to Put the files to Target.Inboth the adapters i have choose 'Shema is Opaque'
2.Imported the wsdl and jca file to OSB
3.Generated Proxy Service (PS ) and Business service (BS) out of Step 2
4.I edited the Message flow such a way that , the PS is routed to invoke the BS
Aslo i assigned $inbound/ctx:transport/ctx:request/tp:headers/jca:jca.file.FileName to a variable 'FileName' in PS
and in BS service i passed $outbound/ctx:transport/ctx:request/tp:headers/jca:jca.ftp.FileName = 'FileName'
When i tried to activate my session , the file that is getting written to the target has 0 byte.Also , the file name is also not getting passed from PS to BS
Can some one help me with the steps on how to use the Xpath , so as to pass the file name and file body from proxy servive to business service.
Thanks
John

I search multiple shares to find a common file name then create a single output file. I will be doing this search and file creation
for 5-10 different file names. If there is a better way .. certainly open for suggestions. It's working but having issue with
the cmd file for every file and folder I check. It puts this error out for each run of the process.
Error message in LOG file:
Get-ChildItem : Cannot find path 'F:\powershell\-SearchFor' because it does not exist.
Thanks.
I tried your code with little changes and saved in Temp folder.
My CMD file has the below code
PowerShell C:\Temp\Untitled1.ps1
It worked.

Xml file in dynamic file name in file receiver adapter

Hi,
I'm doing the dynamic file name in file receiver adapter. I have done as per instructed in /people/jayakrishnan.nair/blog/2005/06/20/dynamic-file-name-using-xi-30-sp12-part--i
All turned out okay. I have got the file name I require. Except that the file format is XML and I need to suppress the filename node occupied by the dynamic file name.
The content conversion mentioned in /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12, does not seem to solve my problem. As it is only for file format other than the XML one, because we only do the content conversion if we want to "convert" the format of the content from XML to the other format.
Does anybody have the solution to my problem? thanks in advance

Thank you Raj for the direction
The way to do it is :
1. In ID, advanced tab, put a check on the adapter-specific message attributes - file name.
2. Put a "*" on the file name scheme
3. In IR, create a UDF to set up target file name :
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
// set up file name for receiver adapter
String SourceFileName = conf.get(key);
conf.put(key, TargetFileName);
return " ";
4. Map the above UDF to the header level of the target structure.
Regards,
Idi

Dynamic File name in File Adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement to pass dynamic file name in File Adapter.
Is there any way to pass a variable for the file name attribut in file adapter.
I am looking for some options apart from %yyMMddHHmmss%,%SEQ%...etc
Please suggest if any of you have information on how to put values from a variable to file name attribute in file adapter
regards
Saiju

Hi Saiju,
Yes there is.
Assign your file name to a variable, let's say 'fileName'.
Now go to your invoke activity(for the specific fileadapter) -> Property tab-> find a property call jca.file.FileName -> in the value field assign 'fileName' variable.
That's it... (assuming you are using 11g)

Make "File name" and "Files of type" fields read-only in JFileChooser

I try to make the "File name" and "Files of type" fields read-only in JFileChooser dialog. Anybody
knows how to do? Thanks.

You mean so the user can't choose the name of the file to open or save? Not much point in even using a JFileChooser, then, is there? Or did I misunderstand the question?

How should we get the out put file-name same as in put file-name in file to

Hi frnds,
having hundreds of files in the sender system with different names, how should we get the out put file-name in the receiver system same as the in put file-name in file to file scenario ?
Thanks in advance.

snrvakiti.

Hi,
In Receiver File Adapter you can set under 'Adapter-Specific Message Properties'
check Use Adapter-Specific Message Properties
check Fail on Missing Adapter Message Properties
Check File Name
Have a look at this link, [File_to_File|http://allsapnetweavernotes.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-can-i-access-filename-from-fileftp.html]
