Have javascript to ignore a specific file type

I created a Javascript file that allows the user to search for a specific folder on their desktop and loads in all the images presented with in this folder. Once they have selected the folder they want, a window appears and allows them to select the file extensions they want to import. If there are no files in the folder, then the window is full.

However, the target folder also contains a unique file extension I want to be ignored (Delete is not an option) and I think I've cracked the way for Javascript to ignore this file extension. That's what I have so far:

var filename = list of files [i] .name;

If (filename.match (/ \.)) (stitchinfo)) $ / i) == null)

{

If (filelist [i]. Name.Substring(0,beautyRender.Length) = beautyRender)

{

renderTypes.push (fileList [i] .name);

}

}

However, when I run the script with the code above, the script ignores all the files in the folder. However, if I take the file I want is ignored, the images appear as it should in the selection window. I put it, nothing is displayed.

You can see what it is I am doing wrong?

The office in the code I posted was just an example. Add this function to your code and use it to filter this extension. This way you have not to worry about this later - the tiles are never part of the panoply of the list of files.

List of files of the var = samplesFolder.getFiles (ignoreMe);

  • Can I recover the Vista backup specific file types?

    Ok. So I got a little happy relaxation of night last night and accidentally deleted all my music on iTunes, instead of just compensation for the library.

    Fortunately, I made a back-up week last using the Vista Backup Wizard, so I have nothing to lose forever.

    Question is, when I perform backup restore, can I just pick up music or will it also try and retrieve all my photos and documents too? I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit and backup to an external HARD disk.

    When you perform the recovery process, you can select what you want - it will give you this option as your use of the procedure.  I don't know if this can be done by file type (I doubt it), but it can be done by selecting the files and/or folders specifically.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How to add "Add to Windows Media Player list" to the context Menu of the specific file types

    I use Windows XP Professional 64-bit and I can't understand how to do this, even after hours of reading on google.

    When I right click. MP3 files or. AVI files, they give the option to context menu "Add to Windows Media Player list" but other files that I wish it would show for such as. MKV or. AAC, I can't show him for. I have searched everywhere in the windows registry and cannot for the life of understand me this.

    It works perfectly well and appears on our windows vista computer and the old 32-bit windows xp computer, but it does not appear on my new current.

    How I'd go about adding this choice "Add to Windows Media Player list" when I right click on. MKV and. AAC files?

    whitechristmas. M4A is the name of the original file, and I am wanting to convert it to whitechristmas.m4r.  However, when you try to change the type of file it changes the name to whitechristmas.m4r.m4a.  It also has a problem when I try to convert a .txt to. doc.  It turns into. doc.txt

    Is there a work around what I can do.  There is one if you are working with sharepoint files, or a server, but because it is just a file on my hard drive I'm lost and aggravated.

    Thanks in advance!

    The default value is only to change the name and not the extension. You can replace it by moving your cursor with the mouse, end, home or arrow keys and by changing the file type.

    Windows notifies you of any adverse effects if you change the extension, but you can ignore the warning if you know what you're doing.

  • In the control panel under Tools, folder, file types options, why are there items her don't have next to them?

    Reason why I ask this is I just do a fresh install of Windows XP with SP2 and I installed SP3 after that on an old computer that was in need of a new facility. I continued to get the AutoPlay window I went to the CD and DVD players and set everything to TAKE NO ACTION. I wonder if I made a mistake by doing this. I was half way tempted to do the same for drive C, but I did not.  Is there something I can do to correct what I do that I should not have?

    The [NONE] you're referring to means that there are has file extensions associated with things such as Audio CDs, disks and DVDs.

    A "file extension" is the 3-(4-parfois) part of a file name that comes after the period character.  For example, in "Document.doc" file extension is doc.

    Made settings were - as you noted correctly - in the AutoPlay dialog box.  These settings determine what Windows does when a removable storage device is connected.  Depending on the type of multimedia content detected on the device, you can choose from a variety of "Manipulative Autoplay" to deal with this content.

    "Take no action" is not a bad default.

    If you want to change your mind, open my computer and right-click on the icon for a CD/DVD/USB device and select the tab "Autoplay".  You can choose from a variety of types of "content" and then choose which application should open.  For more flexibility, TweakUI--> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-xp or see

  • Check the file type after JavaScript File.openDialog ()...

    So I am on Mac OS and want my script obviously cancel on the bottle of 'Cancel', but also check if the selected file is a PDF file. I had some success with the code below, but some PDF, I select get cancelled with this script. While they inspected, the FilePath.type property returns "?" for some PDF files - anyone know why?

    var myFilePath = File.openDialog("Please choose a PDF file...", undefined, false);
    if((myFilePath == "") || (myFilePath == null)){
        exit();
    }
    else if(myFilePath.type != "PDF "){
        alert("Please choose a PDF file!") ;
        exit();
    }
    

    I'm quite new to scripting. Thank you!

    On Windows, all you can do is provide a file extension (the well-known "*.") PDF filter"), and it is wise to always add the catch-all" *. " ' * ' to 'all files '. In this way, a user can select a file, even if she has a bad job (and in this case, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the file is of the type expected nonetheless).

    Under OSX, there are two options:

    1. the file has the correct ' Creator/Type' metadata; and/or

    2. the file has the correct file extension.

    Historically, focused on the Macintosh OS used option #1 and software should not look at the actual file names. However, who soon became unfeasible when people tried to share files between Mac and (almost all) other systems. That lead to various tools to "attribute" Data Type/Creator of known file extensions, so they can be opened with the right software on Mac. Also the reverse that's happened; saving a file "without extension" on a Mac was not a problem, but to open it in Windows, you often had to add the right extension.

    So, somewhere around one or two versions of the system there, Apple has decided to return to the old, trust "File Extension." But OSX still records the Type/Creator metadata for files created on your Mac. Control of the 'type' should work then - but the problem is, what happens if you got your file also? The extension may be correct, but if she has any type of file, your script won't see it.

    Fortunately, the open a Mac OS x file dialogue box allows some pretty wicked customizations. Never forget a file filter, you can run a custom function which decides for each separate file and the folder should be adjustable or not. The function has access to all the file attributes. You can go up to check the name of the file and dismiss all files that contain a 'q', or the files are read-only, or that are smaller than 1 KB.

    Check out this piece of code (I wrote it myself, but various tips and tricks have been played on this same forum):

    if (File.fs == "Windows")
        pdfFile = Folder.myDocuments.openDlg( 'Load PDF document', "Adobe PDF:*.pdf,All files:*.*", false);
    else
        pdfFile = Folder.myDocuments.openDlg( 'Load PDF document', function(file) { return file instanceof Folder || (!(file.hidden) && (file.name.match(/\.pdf$/i) || file.type == "PDF ")); }, false );
    

    (I advise you to copy the fragment of Windows, just in case your script will ' world tour.)

    Why are there different file types (pdf, http and others) that you need for different programs to open?

    Why are there different containers (aluminum cans, plastic bottles, glass jars, etc.) that you need different tools to open?

    The answer is because each kind of file has that the others don't, and if you need different programs access to these features.

  • Behavior of the ADV change corrupt Excel File Types?

    I entered a strange state Excel.  I don't know how. ERGO, I don't know how to reverse the trend.

    All of a sudden, when I click on a file icon to open an Excel file with macros, I am invited twice to activate the macros (medium security).

    Specifically, if I start Excel (new book), add a dummy macro (Sub doit() / End Sub), and save Book1.xls, when I then click Book1.xls, I get two guests enable macro.

    I suspect that this began after I was experimenting with different Types of files advanced under Tools > Options for files in a folder.  I did not notice the problem then because I couldn't have clicked on a file icon for the Excel file with macros.

    Note: I think that the root cause, twice, opening the Excel file may exist even for files Excel without macros.  It simply may not be obvious without the enable macro prompt.

    Also note: I don't get the enable macro double guests when I open the file in Excel, for example by clicking on the name of the file in the list of recently opened files in Excel.

    Unfortunately, I do not know what that file type Advanced had my experiences.  Currently for XLS, they are:

    New:
    Action: ' "C:\...\EXCEL."» "EXE" / e/n %1
    The DDE message: [new ("%1")]

    Open:
    Action: ' "C\...\EXCEL."» EXE' / e '%1 '.
    The DDE message: [open ("%1")]

    It would not surprise me if the reference for %1 in the action line is redundant and root cause of the problem.  It does not appear in the line of action on another PC.  (Old Excel 2003 puts up-to-date and perhaps more older MSWin XP SP3 updates to date.)

    But if I try to delete the reference %1, XP (?) restored automatically, but without the quotes in the line of action "open".

    In other words, if I change the %1 and reference '%1', click OK, and then click on Edit again, %1 (without the quotes) reappears at the end of the two lines of action 'new' and 'open '.  The same is true if I close the file Options window, then re-open it.

    If I remove the double quotes in the "open" action line, I do not receive guests enable double-macro.  However, I get several errors when I click on the icon of the Book1.xls file in a Temp folder, namely:

    C:\Documents.xls is not found
    and.xls is not found
    Settings\Joe\My.xls is not found
    Documents\Temp\Book1.xls could not be found.

    Despite these errors, the Excel file is opened correctly.

    Note that the full path is "C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\My Documents\Temp\Book1.xls".

    This brings me to two tentative conclusions:

    1. the double quotes around the %1 in the line of action are needed for a path with interstitial spaces can be interpreted correctly.

    2. the file is indeed open twice, once for %1 in the line of action and again for %1 in the DDE message.

    On this basis, the prompt enable double-macro is not surprising when %1 is replaced with '%1' in the line of action.

    I can work around the double-open by editing the DDE message for the 'open' action, leaving '%1' at the end of the line of action.

    But that changes the behavior to open two Excel files by clicking on their icons in file, namely: each file is opened in a separate instance of Excel instead of the same instance.  Ironically, it is the alternative behavior that I was experimenting with some days; and it might even be the behavior that I prefer.  I'm mulling over always pros and cons.  (Which I am fully aware of and need any help understanding.)

    But the point is: it wasn't always the case.

    So the question is: how to make (less intrusive) to restore Excel to its previous behavior, only enable macro prompt and probably open the file only once and when I click on file icon in a folder by opening multiple files within the same instance of Excel?

    I certainly want to avoid to uninstall and then reinstall Excel.  I also want to avoid going back to a recent restore Point, since I'm not sure what desirable changes, I could have done in the meantime.  I am not opposed to editing the registry, if someone can tell me exactly what change to make.

    (Change my macro security to avoid any incentive is also not a viable alternative.)

    No doubt, this could be a matter of Excel, is not a matter of XP.  I'll post a similar question to Excel answers appropriate Forum.  I don't like the multi-post; but I don't know how crosspost, which is even supported by the Forum of answers.  However, I wonder if a XP-savvy person could recognize and solve the problem more quickly than a generalist to Excel.

    I use Office Excel 2003 SP3, Excel 11.8169.8172 version, and MSWin XP Pro SP3 update 29/03/2009.

    I know I'm behind in updates.  But all I ask is to restore the system (XP or Excel) to a State that worked fine before.  'Before' what I can not say with certainty; but certainly some time in the last week or two, during which I did no major changes to the system other than experimenting with File Types.

    I _-u-me that XP or Excel update is not necessary, unless someone can point to a specific patch since the 29/03/2009, which solve my specific problem.

    While I wouldn't recommend it for the faint of heart and not without a lot of precautions, he does not seem to have done the trick.

    Advanced File Types have now been restored to what I expected, namely: Open action is now "C:\...\EXCEL. EXE/e"- no argument %1 - and the DDE message is [open("%1")].  By clicking on two ".xls" file icons results in both open in the same instance of Excel, the behavior of original product.

    The procedure is a bit irritating because, first of all, click on detect and repair in Excel Help resulted in warning to close all Office applications, including Excel.  Because I didn't know no other way to invoke the detect and repair command, I clicked on the option Ignore, which I was grateful for.

    Secondly, this operation has warned the Office installation CDROM may be needed, and indeed, it was necessary to complete the configuration of Office 2003.  That's troubling for me because I had never used the CDROM (Dell preinstalled the software), and I've had trouble finding even it since I had never unpacked boxes after a large home remodeling 3 (!) years.  (By wife hunted me for a year before she gives up on me.)

    Without the CDROM to installation, I couldn't run Excel; He has always tried to complete the configuration of office.  And in fact, it was something on the CDROM which corrects the shares of Advanced File Types.

    Now, I have to learn that rest to detect and repair could cancel.  I used the product for 5 years.  I have really no idea what settings I could have done for this period of time

    But it worked!
