How to stop Motion 5 to rename the items?

How to stop Motion 5 to rename the items?

For example, I have a folder named "Box" inside this folder are 5 additional folders and in these files are text and circles/squares etc.  Once I have copy and insert the name of the parent is "copy of zone 1", the names of children is now "copy print"1", 1 paper copy etc, and children are also name with a copy to the front and a number in the back.  If you like 50 items in the folder, you need to go to each name and remove the copy, then move to the back of the name and remove the number.  That would make 100 corrections.  If you duplicated "Box" 10 times that would be 500 times I have to delete the copies and 500 times I have to delete the number.  I am an organized person and I do not confuse names like "copy paper 27.

I only want that this

'Copy of movement case 12-11'

to look like this

"Movement block 12.

It takes a lot of time to remove the copy at the front and out the number on the back of name.

In Autodesk Maya 3D they do something similar, it turns 'apples' in 'pasted apples 1 ", so created a script that deletes all the text"stuck"in the name and number on the back the text name.

I think it's a pretty silly renaming procedure.  Adds text to the front and rear.  Makes me wonder where they got their education.

David, for starters I can't duplicate what you describe, where things are added to the front and back automatically, you may need to clarify some things.  Looks like what you're saying is you have Group in movement named "Box" If you copy and paste the group, the name of the new group is "copy of copy of box?  Or you add 'Copy from' before the name of the Group at some point before making a copy/duplicate of the Group?

Movement, like the Finder and many other applications, will add an object in double with 'copy', then add numbers after that. The structure of renaming seems simple enough. For example:

1. start by a group of layers / named 'box '.

2. copy and paste "Box" will give you "Box copy.

3 copy and paste 'Copy of box' will give you «box copy 1"»

My tests, if "copy" part of the name at the end, only the numbers will be added and increase gradually.  I think that if you get something like "Box copy copy" you have added manually "copy" at the beginning of the name, which is the only way that I could reproduce what you describe. If you don't want to have to remove 'copy' twice, don't start a layer name or "Exemplary" program group. Motion is probably not check if the copy is at the beginning, at the end.

For what is a way of not having a copy or a number added to the end, it is not a.  It is probably a requirement of how the movement initially creates duplicates of layers/groups and make sure, that it is not destroy the existing layers. This is probably the best. This is similar to the creation of the records or documents in the Finder, just moving, you can go back and rename multiple items with the same name once they are created. If you are uncomfortable with writing scripts, sounds like you are, maybe it's a good option, otherwise you will have to do some manual changes as you go.

  • Can not stop cryptographic services to rename the Catroot2 folder.

    Hello

    I recently bought Halo 2 for WIndows Vista and tried to run it on my pc, which uses windows 7 Home premium. Since I installed the game, whenever I play it stops, saying that "Games for Windows Live could not... etc" I looked up the solution on a microsoft forum, and he said to rename the folder c:\windows\system32\catroot 2 by stopping the cryptographic service. ""

    Whenever I try to stop the cryptographic service, I get:

    System error 5: access denied

    I tried running the cmd as administrator prompt, and I get the message: "the application pause, continue or stop is not available for this service"

    I can also rename the Catroot2 folder, as he always says: ' this folder could not be renamed because it is already in use... etc ", but I think it's because I have not stopped the cryptographic service".

    What I'm doing wrong and what should I do to fix this?

    Hi Bruce - Thanks for the info. sending only the resized pix effect the quality if the recipient wishes to make prints of the pix. Also, I have experienced by changing the file extension .jpg to, for example, .xxx and this fom seems to stop the pix that are part of the text. The recipient then changes again in the .jpg file extension. Is this likely to cause problems?

    Are you sure that it is an application that is causing the problem?

    When you are connected to the Internet, Win XP will periodically synchronize with a time server.  If you have Win XP on the wrong time zone, your computer displays the local time 'bad '.

    Double click on the time (lower RH of your screen) and select the time zone tab.  Select the correct time zone for your location and check the DST box.  If necessary, change the time manually to your local time and save your changes.

    Then select the time tab Internet - and make sure that you have a server in the server field.  I use the time - a.nist.gov.  There are many alternative servers, including time.nist.gov and time.windows.com.  Click 'Update now'.

  • How to create a report based on the item selected from the list of selection?

    How to create a report based on the selected element? (ex: select * from selected_table)

    Thanks in advance

    Salah

    Hi Salah,

    Allright, take a look at this page: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=vincentdeelen:collection_report

    I think that simulates what you are trying to accomplish. I've implemented the simplest method I could think of.

    The report is based on a collection of apex. If you are not familiar with this, you should study the documentation: APEX_COLLECTION

    To recreate my example, you should:

    (1) create a report (interactive) on your collection

    SELECT *
       FROM APEX_collections
     WHERE collection_name = 'MY_COLLECTION'
    

    (2) create a selection list page_item for the tables that you want to display (in my case, this is called "P38_TABLES")

    (3) create a dynamic action that triggers on the evolution of your selection list page_item. Dynamic action must be a parade of PL/SQL procedure the following code:

    declare
      l_query varchar2(4000);
    begin
      l_query := 'select * from '||:P38_TABLES;
      if apex_collection.collection_exists
            ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' )
      then
        apex_collection.delete_collection
          ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' );
      end if;
    
      apex_collection.create_collection_from_query
        ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION'
        , p_query           => l_query
        );
    end;
    

    Make sure that you add your page_item 'Page to send items' section.

    (4) add a real extra action that makes an update of the report area.
