Xine and divx filename extension

I am trying without much luck to get my mediaPC to play divx files. The problem is they never show up in the videos list in oxine.
Playing the files with xine from xfce on the same PC is working fine.
If I rename the files to have an extension of avi, they show up in the videos list in oxine and can be played just fine there too.
So basically this is a setup problem for the mediafiles shown in the oxine "play video" section.
Does anyone have any ideas to solve this?

Hi Niramal,
data: w_file type rlgrap-filename.
concatenate 'c:\temp\' sy-datum sy-uzeit '.dat' into w_file.
concatenate 'c:\temp\' itab-field1 '.dat' into w_file1.

Filename Extensions When Saving

I recently had a system crash requiring that I start over from scratch. I was on 10.8.2 before the crash, and am on 10.8.2 after restoration.
Prior to the crash, when I saved a document the Save dialog included a check box at the lower left that read "Hid File Extension." Checking this box, of course, hid the filename extension while unchecking it added the extension (naturally).
After restoration, when I save files, that box is no longer there. The filename will only save with our without the extension depending on how the Finder setting for extensions (Finder > Preferences > Advanced) is set.
I want my files to show extensions, but not my applications. The Finder preference is unchecked which leaves old files alone (Get Info > Name & Extension > Hide extension is unchecked in the old files), but new files won't show an extension, and without the check box in the Save dialog, I can't easily add one.
How do I get that check box back?
Thanks!

Are you looking at the expanded Save dialog? Click the triangle button next to the file name entry box.

Finding the ReportRepositoryPath and Report Filename

I was wondering if the report repository path and report filename of files sent to the report manager are stored somewhere in a table. It seems as if a select statement would be easier than finding the psreports/dbname/data/process id/process name_process instance id.extension. Any help would be great, thanks!
BTW: I am wanting the physical path

You could start to query the table PS_CDM_LIST, of course, you can join it with other Peoplesoft tables, like PS_CDM_DIST_NODE, depending of what you need exactly.

"Show all filename extensions" does not work!

I want to be able to see the file extensions of all my files. I go to Finder->Preferences->Advanced, and then I check the "Show all filename extensions" checkbox, yet it still does not work! I tried rebooting my computer and double checking if that checkbox is still checked, and it is, and it still does not work!
Any help?

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Receiving attachments with carriage return / enter after filename extension

Hello All,
For a while already I am seeing carriage return / enter / newline after the filename extension of (some of) my attachments.
Clicking the attachment fails to open it. The only remedy I have is to save the attachment, navigate to it, click the filename, and remove the extra newline after the filename.
It then asks me if i want to use the new extension, for example
Would you like to use
".pdf"
instead of
".pdf
(I had to cut up the sentence above to make the bogus CR visible)
After agreeing the file works fine and opens normally ( + Icon changes back to preview icon).
The file shows up as "symposium 2010.pdf??" in Terminal.
and
/Users/vincent/Desktop/symposium\ 2010.pdf
when pasted in vi - yes the third white line is included.
Did anyone see/solve this issue before? Wading through the forum here did not turn up a solution...

Filename variable w/out filename extension

Hi,
Is there a less kludgy way to create a variable that returns the filename without the filename extension, than putting a small, filled white box on top of it?
Thanks,
Mats Broberg

I had this problem a year or two ago and Shlomo of Microtype.com came up with a PostScript snippet that I embedded in the file and it erased the extension for me.
You may want to ping him through his site and see it he'd be willing to share, or if you know a PostScript programmer, they could fix you up. I will look around and see if I can find the snippet, but I haven't used it for a while....

Suggest a filename extension in a save file dialog

Hello guys,
does any of you know, how to suggest the user a certain filename extension in a save file dialog?
I'm using both the normal save file dialog:
     javax.swing.JFileChooser.showSaveDialog,
and the Java Web Start save file dialog:
     javax.jnlp.FileSaveService.saveFileDialog.
For both ways I seem not to be able to suggest the user a certain extension for the filename.
For the normal dialog, I call setFileFilter on the JFileChooser instance.
The filter shows up in the dialog, and is used by default, but when the user types a name and approves, the returned filename does not have the extension added.
Of course I can add the extension programmaticaly, but not when inside the JAWS sandbox.
For the JAWS dialog, I pass an array containing my extension, but it is ignored as if I didn't specify any extensions. The API specs already say that this parameter "might be ignored by the JNLP Client".
So how to tell the user what extension to use?
More people must have encountered this problem.
I'm making an application that saves and opens xml files and exports html files.
I'm using this code to test the behavior:import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import javax.jnlp.FileContents;
import javax.jnlp.FileSaveService;
import javax.jnlp.ServiceManager;
import javax.jnlp.UnavailableServiceException;
import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
import javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter;

         // we're running with JAWS
         System.out.println("JAWS filechooser:");
         System.out.println(choose_JAWS());
     catch (UnavailableServiceException x)
         // we're NOT running with JAWS
         System.out.println("normal filechooser:");
         System.out.println(choose_normal());
    static String choose_normal()
     JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
     fc.setFileFilter(new CustomFileFilter(EXTENSIONS, DESCRIPTION));
     if (JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION == fc.showSaveDialog(null))
         return "selected " + fc.getSelectedFile().getName();
     else
         return "cancelled";
    static String choose_JAWS()
     try {

         ByteArrayInputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(new byte[] {});
         FileContents fc = fos.saveFileDialog(null, EXTENSIONS, stream, null);
         if (fc != null)
          return "selected " + fc.getName();
         else

          return true;
     return false;

String ext = null;
String s = f.getName();
int i = s.lastIndexOf('.');
if (i > 0 && i < s.length() - 1)
ext = s.substring(i+1).toLowerCase();
return ext;
}Any help is greatly appreciated!

@tjacobs01
Hi Tom,
I have a question regarding your classes
tjacobs.ui.fc.FileExtensionFilter and
tjacobs.ui.fc.FileChooser.
When I look at your code, I see the filename extension is appended in showSaveDialog:     public int showSaveDialog(Component c) {
                    setSelectedFile(new File(f.getAbsolutePath() + "." + ((FileExtensionFilter)filter).getType()));
    }It gets the extension by calling getType on the filter. But getType is implemented as:    public String getType () {
        return mExtensionList.get(0).toString();
    }So this returns the first type in the list. It does not check what filetype is selected by the combobox.
Am I missing something?
Also, in getDescription:    public String getDescription() {
        if (mDesc == null) {
            mDesc = "";
            for (int i = 0; i < mExtensionList.size(); i++) {
                mDesc += (i != 0 ? ", " : "") + "." + mExtensionList.get(0).toString();
            mDesc+= " files";
        return mDesc;
    }you seem to iterate through the list, but only take the first entry every iteration.
Can you explain mExtensionList.get(0)?
Do you know how to test what type is selected in the JFileChooser's combobox?

Importing without filename extensions?

I need to import files that do not have filename extensions.
Please don't tell me "Get with the modern world!" or "Just rename them!" or some such. This is an archive of some 200 rolls of film scans burned to DVD. They are NOT going to get renamed! Portfolio deals with this just fine.
But I really would rather use Aperture. I just need a push in the right direction to hack some .plist or something to get it to import extension-less files. There's gotta be a way...
Help!

But type and creator codes are currently supported! As far as I can tell, they have not been officially deprecated. If you know differently, I'd appreciate a reference. (The only thing I've seen is a "suggestion" that they be avoided, as they might not be supported in the future by some applications.)
As far as I can tell, it's not "legacy," either. It's a supported part of the file system. When you select a JPEG in the Finder, do "Get Info," and set it to open in Photoshop, then select a different JPEG, and set it to open in Preview, you're setting the creator code. MacOS X has no "registry" like Windows (thank god!) to track such stuff, and I consider it a strong feature of MacOS X that you can open files of the same type with different applications by default.
I'm not sympathetic to arguments that something might happen in the future, so I should go to a lot of extra trouble to deal with someone who's jumping the gun now.
I have hundreds of client CD-ROMs that I may have to re-burn if this is the case. If that's so, I'll stick with Portfolio, which is doing an adequate job. No one is going to pay me for tens of hours spent examining, copying, renaming, and re-burning. Aperture is supposed to improve my productivity, so I spend less time behind the Finder and more time behind the viewfinder!

How to make Safari stop adding filename extensions

If I use Right-click->Download Linked File As... with a link to a text file whose name has no extension or an unrecognized extension, Safari adds ".txt" to the name without showing in the Save dialog that it is going to do so. I think this is a regression in Safari 7 and/or Mavericks to a bad behavior from the Tiger era, although it is possible that it is an edge case that wasn't fixed along with the fix for more common modes of downloading/saving files and I just haven't run into it recently. I understand the mechanics of what Safari is doing (mapping the HTTP Content-Type header to a filename extension) and I don't see any good workaround short of a master switch making Safari stop doing that at all and instead trusting that I really do want unextended filenames and the ability to use a period in a filename without informing LaunchServices.
As an antique Mac user I've never been entirely comfortable with the adoption of the Windows filename extension botch, but I do accept that battle as lost. I'm just looking for a way to make Safari save files with the name shown in the Save dialog.

Finder Preferences Advanced show/hide filename extensions

Hi all,
When I go to Finder Preferences Advanced and uncheck the Show all filename extensions I expect not to see file extensions thereafter, but this doesn't happen.
I've restarted, but still no joy.
Any ideas,please?
Thanks in advance

no, that's not quite how it works. when you uncheck that option it will hide some extensions but not all. I don't know how it decides which type of extensions to keep showing. it always shows .jpg extensions for some strange reason for example. if this happens you pretty much have to hide extensions on files individually using the "get info" panel. there is no automated way to hide all extensions on all files. it makes sense in some situatuions like for files with multiple extensions (e.g. all plists) but I can't think of a good reason why jpg files won't hide extensions automatically.
but this doesn't happen.
I've restarted, but still no joy.
Any ideas,please?
Thanks in advance

Cannot hide filename extension with Finder Advanced Hide Extensions

I am unable th hide filename extensions enmass with the Finder>Advanced>Hide Extensions option. All extensions, key, pdf, page, etc show. This behavior began about three weeks ago. I sync my files through an external drive and MobileMe with another MAC at home. I can hide individual extensions with the File Info command, but not hide all with Finder Preferences.
Does anyone have a suggestion.

Uppercase Filenaming Extensions help

I've just recently migrated from PS7/OS9 to PS CS4, and Mac OS X (10.5.8)
I'm trying to "save for web"... and due to existing conventions here, would like all the .JPG files to come out UPPERCASE.
Save For Web and Devices --> Optimize Menu -->Edit Output Settings -->Saving Files
It appears that I should be able to set the .JPG filename extension to upper or lowercase. However, I only get lower case, regardless.
I could never get it to work in PS7 either. Am I misunderstanding what it is for or doing something wrong?
Is there a way I can get it to output the extensions in UPPERCASE? Or do I just need to turn that off altogether and manually type it in the way I want it when I save? (Faster than renaming them all in the Finder, unless I use an auto-renamer... at this point I just NEED to get some stuff done and the endless automating/tweaking the workflow needs to take a back seat for a bit).
Thanks in advance for any pointers! (Even if the answer is no, I'd rather know it and move along)

I don't understand what you mean by "Adobe software will not run on a Case Sensitive system" ?
The case is for my own visual references regarding my website... which isn't case sensitive, but I sure am
As to Bridge... well, I had to go look to see what it was for. At present I'm simply trying to replicate the apps and functions on OSX that I had in OS9 and still slogging through the details of getting a grip on a new workflow. (Which is proving to be rather slow at this stage).
It's definitely been a very huge leap at this point.
Getting along with most everything else in PS so far hasn't been an issue though, but this one niggling detail has persisted for a decade

Filename extensions will not disappear

Ever since I've had my Mac, (since 4th January), it has displayed filename extensions to every file, despite my having read somewhere that the OS 'comes with filename extensions turned off by default'.
I have, naturally, tried to turn them off myself via Finder>Preferences>Advanced>'Show all filename extensions'. That tick box was already un-ticked when I looked, (despite all the extensions being shown), so I ticked it, closed the window, re-opened it and re-un-ticked the box in an effort to 'force' it to do as I wanted, but to no avail.
At a recent One-to-One session the tutors seemed to think that this was a bug in 10.6.6, (or at least what they described as the most recent manifestation of it), and cited another instance that they had come across since Christmas which was the opposite of my problem- the owner couldn't get his Mac to show filename extensions, no matter whether the box was ticked or not.
Were they correct in this belief, or is there a secret way to get shut of the extensions hidden somewhere in the OS?

My advice is to just get used to it. These filename extensions are important in OSX land, just like they are in the rest of the Free World.
Here's some interesting information you should know that I found at this link:
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/2q00/macos-qna/macos-x-qa-2.html
"The situation for plain files is somewhat less perfect. There are only two popular methods for representing concrete types: HFS/HFS+ type/creator codes and filename extensions. Mac OS X supports both, but Apple "strongly encourages developers to use file extensions as alternative means for identifying document types." Apple's reasoning is that the Internet, the new "lowest common denominator" of interoperability, does not support HFS-style attributes and forks; it deals only in flat files. Where the overwhelming majority of "flat file" volume formats (i.e. Windows/FAT, Unix/UFS) failed to change Apple's thinking, the pervasive connectivity of the multi-million-node Internet has succeeded.
On the other hand, Apple itself provides a method for preserving HFS/HFS+ resource forks and meta-information across flat file systems. When a file with HFS/HFS+ attributes and/or a resource fork is copied or moved to a flat file system like UFS, the Mac OS X Finder creates a hidden file containing the meta-information and the resource fork data. When that file is copied or moved back to HFS/HFS+, those hidden files are read and re-incorporated back into the file. So while Apple encourages the use of file name extensions, it also provides a mechanism that allows the "old ways" to continue functioning more or less transparently within Mac OS X.
Unfortunately for Apple, the matter of filename extensions is not entirely in their hands. Mac OS X will initially ship with HFS+ as the default volume format. This is necessary to enable the transition of classic Mac OS users to Mac OS X. Requiring users to reformat their drives in order to upgrade to Mac OS X is not exactly good business. Furthermore, Mac OS X's backwards compatibility with classic Mac OS apps requires an HFS/HFS+ volume somewhere from which to run its copy of classic Mac OS inside Classic.app (yes, they could use a disk image, but that's a sub-optimal solution).
Given this situation, Mac OS developers could simply continue business as usual, using type/creator codes (instead of the un-Mac-like filename extensions) to identify the files their applications save. (They could even continue to use resource forks, but that's much less likely. A file that relies on its resource fork will be irreparably broken if it is copied to a flat volume format via any method other than the Finder (FTP, HTTP, etc.), whereas a file's type/creator codes are simple to restore.)
The deciding factor may be the users. Will Mac users accept filename extensions or will they complain bitterly to their favorite application developer that they don't want ".psd" or ".doc" files on their Mac? *Remember that the Finder will not hide any filename extensions* (other than ".app"), so they will be visible to (and editable by) the user."

Streamming mpeg4 and divx.

Hello!
Can I stream mpeg4 and divx files with Oracle interMedia Plug-in? I successfully stream mpeg1, mpeg2 and rm files with Oracle interMedia Plug-in. But mpeg4 and divx not working.
I have loaded two files, mpeg4(with mp4 extension) and divx(with avi extension) to ORDVideo column and try to stream it with interMedia Plug-in. But Real Player get the error: "This server is not configured to play the data type you requested. Please contact the Real Server Administrator for assistance." and in error log I see the error: "No handler for". If place this files to Helix Server file system, it is streaming successfully.
I think, Helix Server don't understand mimetype what Intermedia set for files loaded to ORDVideo column.
What mimetype I should return from PL/SQL procedure for mpeg4 and divx?
I use Oracle interMedia Plug-in 2.1, Helix Server 9 and Oracle 10.1.0.2.

It is sometimes not easy to figure out what mimetypes realServer expects. They do not publish this information, and new format plugins are introduced every day.
What I do is to fo to the <realserver_home>/plugins directory and (at least on unix) do a strings on the .so files there. I then search these strings for mimetype looking strings of the type I want to use and then try to see if the media will play.
I know it is trial and error, but since Real does not publish what it accepts as a mimetype. Also, it might be confusing on hwat mimetype to use, for example, you use the audio/.... mimetype to play rm videos.
Hope this helps,
Larry
