Xfdesktop copies files into Thunar instead of moving them with mouse

Running Xfce4 with Thunar as the default file manager.
If I drag a file with the mouse out of a folder in Thunar, onto my desktop, it moves from the folder to the desktop (normal behaviour).
But if I drag a file from the desktop into a folder (either into the Thunar window or straight on-top of the folder icon), it COPIES instead of moves.
That is slightly strange behaviour. Is there something wrong somewhere?

Found a quick workaround but it doesn't 'fix' the original question.
You can drag with a right-click and when you let go, a menu will pop up asking what you want to do (copy, move, link).

Saving .ATT files to disk instead of emailing them?

In using Captivate 5.5 for reporting quiz results, the Help PDF states under "Specify e-mail preferences":
4. Specify whether the CSV content must be sent in the body of the e-mail, or as an attachment. The CSV content can be sent as an attachment only over Internet Explorer.
Note: The CSV content is sent as an attachment with the .att extension. Rename the file to a .csv extension and open it in Microsoft Excel.
We are using Kronos that needs the CSV output to a file system location, not sent as an email.
Can you save .ATT files to disk instead of emailing them??
Thank you.

Hello jckrueger,
It is unclear as to the type of disk you would like to save incoming faxes to, however you can send incoming faxes (or scanned documents) directly to email or a network folder with your imageCLASS D1370.
Here are the steps for your reference to forward faxes to email or a file server:
NOTE: When a fax document is transferred to an email or a file server, the document is converted to a PDF file.
Setting Document Transfer (Automatic Forwarding):
This allows you to specify whether a document is automatically transferred during receiving and where to be transferred.
NOTE:
Destinations that can be specified:
You can specify the followings as destinations.
- Fax
- E-mail (D1370 only)
- File server (D1370 only)
- Group destination
1. Press (Menu).
2. Select <System Settings> using [^] or [v] and press [OK].
3. Select <Forwarding Settings> using [^] or [v] and press [OK].
4. Select <Off> or <On> using [^] or [v] and press [OK].
<On> Starts to transfer received documents. Next, you need to configure transfer destinations.
<Off> Transfer is not performed.
When <On> is selected:
You can specify where to forward. You can specify only by the following approaches:
"Specifying destinations using one-touch keys"
"Specifying destinations using coded dial codes"
"Specifying destinations using the address book"
5. Press (Menu) to close the menu screen.

Can't drag/delete files from C Drive after moving them into the D Drive

Like many others, I have depleted my C Drive space and needed to move my iTunes folder into mt D Drive. I got these instructions from iTunes which tell me that after I have moved the files into the D Drive to find the old files in my C Drive and just drag them into the recycle bin. When I try that it tells me it can't be done because of copywrite protection issues. I need to free up that C Drive space by getting rid of those files. Can anyone help with this? I'd preferr an e-mailed answer if you could. Thanks.

Deleting files in thunar isnt actually removing them

when i delete files from thunar i dont get the disk space back, so theyre not deleting, and i have no visible trash can or anything to actually empty....can someone help me figure this out?

You first open up your home folder in Thunar (by clicking the Home entry in the sidebar, the variable $HOME is just a representation of your user's home, when I typed that out). If you have the crumb navigation enabled (where there isn't a textbox entry for the location), you'll need to press Ctrl+H to take a look at the hidden folders in your home folder. You should see a folder named ".local". Open that folder and you should see a folder called share. After opening the share folder inside .local, you should see a folder labeled Trash. Open that folder and you should see a folder named files.
If you don't have the crumbs enabled, simply type this into the skinny textbox that shows your location:
~/.local/share/Trash/
Either way, you'll see the folder I mentioned before.

How can i import .pmd files into Indesign CC, which where created with pagemaker?

Hello!
i have a problem with a new Installation of indesign cc... i can*t import old .pmd Pagemaker files into it!!
it was possible with Indesign cs6, but apparently no longer..!?
..is there an extension or anything else i could use?
thanks in advance for any Tip,
sincerely Sanitest

..well, the fact that i can install an older Version of id is an releave...!but! the fact that i cannot open .pmd file in id cc is .. in my humble opinion
a bad sign of things to come.. i mean sooner or later adobe will completely cancel the ability to download/use id cs6 ... and then what?... buy an old version of pagemaker
or id 1..cs6?
if anyone close to adobe has anything substantially to say.. please go ahead..!

How to load PDF files into oracle database and display them in APEX

Hi All,
We have a requirement for loading the Loading PDF files (lots of PDf files) to the oracle database and then display the PDF files in the Oracel APEX report.
So that User can view the PDF files. Our current APEX verison is 3.2..
Please let me know how to implement it and where to find the sample application!
Thanks in advanced!
Jane

Thanks Tony for your quick response!
We need to load a lot of PDfs (history + current).
I have a questions about the SQL loader. I am trying to insert a pdf file into a table by following the oracle loading sample:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/text.920/a96518/aload.htm
Example Data File: loader2.dat
This file contains the data to be loaded into each row of the table, articles_formatted.
Each line contains a comma separated list of the fields to be loaded in articles_formatted. The last field of every line names the file to be loaded in to the text column:
Ben Kanobi, plaintext,Kawasaki news article,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
But i don't know to where should I put my pdf file on the server.
for example:
,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
Where is the file 'kawasaki.txt'??
I try my local path, it didn't work. like c:\temp.
then I loaded teh PDf file into our server(/findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp) , and In my data file. I put the path
1, pdf_emp1,../findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp
but I got the error: the system can not find the file specified.
Where should I put the PDf files on the server and how to specify the path in the data file?
Thanks!

How can I import a pdf file into numbers so it will open with a click

How can I import a pdf file into a spreadsheet so that it will open with a click?

You can link to a webpage or an email in Numbers-- that's it.
The best way I found to do this is to enable websharing on your machine (see this article if you are running 10.8: http://lowendmac.com/crews/12lc/web-sharing-mountain-lion.html)
You can then place your pdf files in the folder /Users/<your user name>/Sites/<somefolder>
Then link to this using the url "<your machine name>.local/~<your user name>/<somefolder>/<pdf Name>
My machines name is "Proton" (you can get this from the System Preferences > Sharing pane)
My user name is "wayne"
so I stored a pdf file (DM00027543.pdf) in the folder "/User/wayne/Sites/PDFTest"
and stored the URL "http://proton.local/~wayne/PDFTest/DM00027543.pdf" in the "URL" field of the Hyperlink inspector

Splitting large video files into small chunks and combining them

Hi All,
Thank you for viewing my thread. I have searched for hours but cannot find any information on this topic.
I need to upload very large video files. The files can be something like 10GB in size, currently .mpeg format but they may be .mp4 format later on too.
Since the files will be uploaded remotely using using internet from the clients mobile device (3G or 4G in UK) I need to split the files into smaller chunks. This way if there is a connection issue (very likely as the files are large) I can resume the upload without doing the whole 10gb again.
My question is, what can I use to split a large file like 10Gb into smaller chunks like 200mb, upload the files and then combine them again? Is there a jar file that I can use. i cant install stuff like ffmpeg or JMF on the clients laptops.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
Imran

There is a Unix command called split that does just that splits a file into chunks of a size you specify. When you want to put the bits bact together you use the command cat.
If you are comfortable in the terminal you can look at the man page for split for more information.
Both commands are data blind and work on binary as well as text files so I would think this should work for video but of course check it out to see if the restored file still works as video.

Moving one folder to another copies the files instead of moving them

I have a folder in the top level of the system disk, and I want to move it into the 'Documents' folder/library. When I click right and drag the folder over, it copies the files instead of just moving it. Just to be clear, the source folder and the target folder are on the same disk.
Thank you for helping!
Pete

I'm on 10.4.11 too.
I could not duplicate your results. On my system, the folder was always moved.
If I didn't have sufficent privileges, I got:
Eventhou it says copy, it did a move after i enterred my password.
I was on an admin id.
Here are the permissions I tried.
mac $ ls -ld 2doc
dr--r--r--   4 root wheel 136B Jul 31 13:05 2doc/
mac $ ls -ld tdoc
drwxr-xr-x   4 mac admin 136B Jul 31 13:04 tdoc/
mac $ mkdir 3doc
mac $ chmod 444 3doc
mac $ ls -ld 4doc

Why are my photos not as sharp when I import them into Facebook from the Aperture Projects file, compared to when I 'share' them with Facebook within the Aperture programme? There is a noticeable difference and has been spoiling my photos for some time.

Hi all, I take wildlife photos (mostly birds) as a hobby, and have become frustrated with the quality of my photos recently when shared online, particularly Facebook.
I started blaming my camera ( a Canon 7D) as I changed it a few months ago from a Canon 550D, and I soon noticed that the images were not as good. Then I realised it was when I started using Aperture.
I started by using the 'share' option within Aperture but I soon realised that then I have no control over the creation of an album, and the photos start appearing on facebook before I have finished uploading them and given them captions. Plus if I subsequently move them or export them to my back up drive then they disappear from Facebook!
So I started creating albums within Facebook and then importing the photos from the aperture projects file on my computer. Because they are imported I can then delete or move the aperture file and the photos stay on facebook. Otherwise my macbook was becoming completely full.
However to test my theory I have today uploaded the same photo edited in Aperture stored in the same projects folder using the two different methods described above, and there is a very distinct difference between the quality of the two images. The shared ones are very much sharper than the imported ones.
I am a computer novice and don't know how to check what the quality settings are, or how to adjust anything to improve the way the photos go into facebook. I do have a manual but I just cant understand it :-(
I have tried a free sample of Lightroom 5 and my photos look amazing, there is such a difference, but I don't want to give up with Aperture unless the problem really can't be solved.
Sorry for such a long first post, I would be very very grateful for any help you can give me!
Regards
Susan

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

How To: Convert *.mpp (MS Project) files into PDF in order to share with people who do not have MS Project but need to provide input on schedule?

I was told that the MPP is unsupported, but I know for a fact that I have converted MPP to PDF. My question is what is needed to make this happen?

You can try printing to the Adobe PDF Printer.
Another option would be to export the MS Project file as a graphic (JPG, PNG, EPS, etc...) and then just import it into Acrobat via File>Create PDF>Combine

I cannot import sandisk movie files into iMovie any more after years with no problems.

For years I have filmed with my Panasonic HC-X900 and taken the SD card via a usb convertor, plugged it into my macbook pro and iMovie has automatically found the new files - easy to import into iMovie. Now the files are nowhere to be seen even though I can play them back through the camera. Any suggestions?

Mac OS X 10.6 deleting items permanently instead of moving them to Trash

When I try to move a file from my mac into the trash it asks me if I want to delete it perminently and it's gone. However, from my backup drive or a flash drive it still moves to the trash. I tried repairing permissions, browsing through options, restarting the computer, etc. and nothing seems to work. It seems kinda creepy in a way, but i don't know what to do.

Click on the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon and verify that you are able to write to this folder in the Ownership & Permissions section of the Get Info window, and that it isn't locked; if it is already set this way and you get that error, open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
mkdir ~/.Trash
If you get a message stating that the folder exists, run the following:
sudo chown $UID ~/.Trash
chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
The first command in the second set will prompt you for your administrator password; nothing will appear in the Terminal window while it is being typed. In either case, click on the Finder icon in the Dock with the Control and Option keys pressed, and relaunch it.
