Hi how search you for say all .txt or .doc files and then run a macro comparison to identify all duplicate files without having to delete each file individually?

Hello

  • How to backup and transfer files on HP's Android Tablet

    As with any device that can be used to store important information, having a backup is always a good idea, but also learn to transfer your files between other devices. With the HP's Android tablet, the user has several options when it comes to backing up their data. One option is a service of online storage cloud, such as Google Reader. With Google Reader, you can upload files to your account on the web and then immediately access it on another computer. Other options would include the transfer of the files on your computer by USB and then store them on a PC or on a USB flash drive. I connected a large document below they explain exactly how you can do it with the HP's Android tablet.

    Transfer and backup of files on a HP Tablet (Android Jelly Bean)

     

    This document contains information on the following points:

    • Transfer files using a USB data cable
    • Transfer files using a memory card microSD and reader
    • Backing up files using online cloud Storage Solution

    Ahh okay. One of the problems with the Android operating system is that there is no simple way to do it for all. Some applications will have an option in the settings of the application itself establish this, but most don't. There are also others that will save files on the card automatically if we're here.

    The solution would be to get a file by google play Manager. If you do a search for the file manager you will get tons of results. Some of them work better that others, so don't forget to check the reviews. You probably want to watch that has a function "move to" built in. Many of these managers will be to copy the file, then navigate to the desired location, then paste it. The passage to the function will give a menu right through the folders and select the location so that it will be a smoother process. Personally, I use File Explorer are just because it happened to be the first, I used on android and I've adjusted to it, but there are many other options out there.

  • For a given file, how to add and change file properties on the Details tab, for properties that are not in the properties list?

    Now, I am aware of the modification of the properties of the file is simple in Windows 7 Explorer. Select a file, 'Properties', then tab "Details".  Some are not editable, and that's understandable.  Click on next to any area classified as year, Genre, Publisher, etc. and the apply.  No problems so far.

    Then of course in Explorer, when you right click on a column header, you get several choices of column beyond the usual that is displayed by default; Date, the Type, size, etc.  But, there is an option "More...", which has up to now, MUCH more useful properties to choose from, such as the model project, Department, job statusand so on.

    It's fantastic!

    But when you look into the details of any given file, none of these additional properties even are listed to be edited.  Why offer to view these details, if you don't change them, or add them to different files?  I must be missing something.  I do not need to add my own custom details, this additional list has a choice, that I need; If only I could edit the files to get this info.

    How to add and change these properties to files?  Word, Excel, MP4, AVI, JPG; I would add these properties, so I can set directly in the Solution Explorer, as you would by name or Type.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    My experience is that most of these 'extra fields' no existence not as fields in the directory (folder) itself.  On the contrary, these fields exist in the target file itself. Each file type has its own format and established file except for the types of files that belong to Microsoft, Microsoft cannot control or arbitrarily change the format of a particular file type.

    For example, a ".jpg" file  The format of this file type allows a large number of areas such as comments, Tags, date taken, opening, device manufacturer and so on.  If you go into the properties on a .jpg file, you will see a lot of them and will be able to change.  After changing any of these fields, you will find that the file itself has been changed to contain this information (as can be verified by the parity of the file and to come check upward with a different checksum).  If you display one of these fields in Explorer and 10000 ".jpg" files in this folder, then Explorer must open each of these 10000 files to extract the data in the corresponding fields, you have chosen to display.  May take some time.

    Compare that to the same picture saved to a file ".bmp".  The ".bmp" format has no provisions for any of these fields, so you will not be able to view, save, edit, or sort by them.  If the editable fields are directly related to the type of file that is displayed.

    Microsoft has apparently interviewed a lot of file types and made a compilation of the editable fields in each type of file and the Union of the selected fields in which can be displayed and modified.   That's apparently what you see in the option «More...» ».   So, in summary, the file type determines which fields are available for editing and posting.

  • How to compress and extract files and databases of the current site of BC?

    Hello all-

    It was a good race with BC, but we are under new management and start over with another CMS.  I would like to extract all the data of the current site (text of all pages, images, PDF files, the media library, customer information etc).  I know how to export customer relationships, but is it possible to compress and extract everything holistically?

    Thanks a lot - any help would be appreciated!

    Also... you should do this ASAP...

    Hello

    Unfortunately it is not a comprehensive approach as you might hope.  You will need to export all using existing tools mentioned in the article below.  It's a similar concept to a migration site to another.

  • How to convert and put files in prophotorgb

    I just downloaded the demo version of Lightroom, and I downloaded some pictures.

    How to set the color space 16 bit prophotorgb.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you / Mike

    You do not have. Lightroom do its processing in 16 bit linear prophotoRGB regardless of the space of the original file. It converts to the sourcespace of your file in this space automatically, so you don't have to convert you. Also, note that RAW files do NOT have a color space. RAW files must be rendered in a certain space of RAW data, which is inherently monochrome (google for Bayer mosaic to learn how it works). Lightroom is always rendered the linear RAW in its space prophotoRGB files, no matter what you set your camera.
