Hyperlink file name restrictions?

I am running on XP Pro RH7. I work with all the files on my C: drive and not on the network.

When I try to create a hyperlink to a file, sometimes, the file is accepted by RH7 and sometimes not. In other words, when I double-click the file I am a link, sometimes the path and name of the file appear in the file field at the top of the window of a hyperlink... and sometimes they are not. It seems to depend on the length of the file name - looks than 9 characters is the max. It also seems to depend on the location of the file - works best when the file is in the same folder as the rest of the project files.

I could not find it in the HR documentation or on the forums. Is there some sort of restriction on the names of files or when the file is stored?

Thank you!

  • Commas in the section titles, and the *.htm file names reach the hyperlink jumps?

    I have two subjects that I'm trying to move on to other topics. The thing that these two issues have in common, is that I originally used commas and apostrophes in the topic titles and the *.htm file names. This seemed to screw things, since my jumps to topics has never worked.

    I deleted the subjects that were causing problems and they added without using punctuation. I can not yet jump to these subjects. To check if there was a restriction on the maximum number of hops, you can add to a project, I created a jump to a completely different question - the jump worked.

    So, I think that something has been corrupted with these topics. I could try removing them and adding them "fresh" again, but I thought I'd post here to see if someone has encountered the problem before.

    Thanks in advance,
    ChristyG

    I managed to solve the problem by recreating (for the second time) the section titles and files and do not use any sign of punctuation of any well-founded. I think that the problem resulted from using the keywords that have been used and not used/removed/reused. I went to the tab Index, selected 'see also' in the drop-down list and delete keywords that have been put in bold.

  • Invalid file names

    Hello

    Is anyone able to explain just what is happening with the file names?  I have a directory that has the name of files and subfolders in a meaningful way. However, various manipulative operations copies or other causes mistakes which suggests that file names are too long.

    If they are too long, how is it, they are allowed to exist in the first place. and if they exist in one place, why they cannot exist in another?

    Some of these error messages saying that the path cannot be more than 260 characters, but when I count the characters of some of the files that were copied successfully, the total far exceeds this figure.

    There seems to be a large number of 3rd party applications claiming to overcome this, so I really wonder why Microsoft allowed him to remain a matter for so long?

    To answer your question, restriction of the MAX_PATH of 256 characters could be _relative_ in Active Directory so that if you change your working directory to a directory level deep 10, then you have another 256 characters to specify still deeper files... but if you have reached the top of the page try to copy the entire structure You can run out of characters.

    Apparently, Microsoft has allowed very long paths with the construction of the "\\?\C:\verylongpath" although I've never tried to use it.  Microsoft has their app "Robocopy" to copy files with deep paths. (Found in the Technical Resource Kit )

    Microsoft explanation is in the following article:

    "Give names of files, paths, and namespaces.
      <>http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247 (VS.85) .aspx #maxpath >

    I gave up the second guess Microsoft.

  • ActiveSync: *.favorites is not a valid short file name *.

    Help me!!!

    I am engineer in a DoD environment.  We had a problem with title error ".favorites is not a short file name.  The error message is displayed when a typical user with any escalated authorization attempts to run ActiveSync.  ActiveSync installs and works fine using a "Domain administrator" account rights, however once the user tries to run the program it fails during installation indicating ".favorites is not a valid short file name.

    Our users do not have the right to install programs, or change the registry items, we apply DoD Stig (security technical implementation Guide)... once again, ActiveSync installed fine and runs when you use an account with permissions "Domain Admin".  When the user tries to launch activesync fails... However if I put the user in the domain admin group, run it once while it installs, then remove the user from the domain administrators group. ActiveSync works very well.

    If anyone knows how to fix this please PLEASE please help me!

    Answer for all those who get this error even regardless of the software:

    Microsoft was absolutely "No. f ' ing ' help with this one.  Here's the answer to this question;  If you are in a corporate environment, sense permissions are controlled and restricted as in a DoD, DHS, WHS, ect... The user will need permissions to two registry keys.

    (1) [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]

    (2) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]

    Follow these steps, because that is what fixed the problem for me, believe me I had this problem for 3 months, after he passed to me from one of our guys in HERE that he worked for 3 itself.

    1) give the "Admin area" user rights (make sure that the user isn't here, and make sure that you run it past your people from THE first)

    (2) open a session as a user, install activesync * this is a MUST!, otherwise the HKCU registry key will not be created, this is why you get the error message indicating that the name is not a valid short file name *.

    (3) Open regedit and find the two above mentioned registry keys; and give the 'user' or 'domain users' full control of these registry keys. * If you do not, then the very next time the user connects, ActiveSync will try to re - install, you will get the error message and be back at square 1 *.

    (4) disconnect the user, remove the user from the group "Domain Admins".

    (5) test, connect you as the user, run activesync, you will not get this error again.

    (6) If you are having problems... don't think far emailing me I'll help anyone with this problem... * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  • How can I change how long file names & file can be?

    How can I change how long my file names & file can be?

    The path length limit cited in the article referenced by Abdul R is 260.

    It depends on the length of the full path to the file (for example, C:\Program Files\filename.txt). Windows limits a single path to 260 characters. That's why you can sometimes get an error when copying a file with a very long file name to a location that has a longer path than the location of the original file.

    -------------------------------------

    However, there are various subtleties that reduce that number in practice to 255 (or less), including all spaces.

    We start with the absolute limit imposed by Windows. The API operating system puts a limit (called MAX_PATH) 260 characters for the display name with the included path. This number is often cited. However, the current limits are smaller due to various other restrictions. For example, all names have to have a terminator at the end normally null only the computer see this fine marker, but it is considered as a character if there are really only 259 characters available. (Forget to count the null terminator is a common mistake). A three other characters are used by the designation of the drive or volume (for example, C:\). Thus, the limit to name all the folders and subfolders as well as the file is reduced to 256 characters. However, no files or a folder may have a name more than 255 characters. This includes spaces and some backslashes used as separators. This limit of 255 characters per object is imposed by the way Windows to encode the characters but other considerations usually impose lower limits.

    =====================

    And now, the grand fanale, the answer to your question:

    You cannot change the limit of the length of the path. It is imposed by various requirements and is coded in the system hard. You can set the 'balance' between the files and folder/sub-folder names. For example, use short directory names in order to use more long filenames.

    ======================

    All this can be a nuisance to the user. A file name may be OK when originally created but be too long if the file should be copied or moved to another location whose path is longer.

    There may be additional complications if the files are to be burned to CD or DVD.

  • Windows install-"error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name"; After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, cannot load new software. ____

    After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software.  As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.

    If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?

    I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162

    Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error.  I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '.  Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.

    With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?

    Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.

    I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:

    -Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data

    I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.

    Good luck!

  • Creation-&gt; hearing: file names have been changed

    Hello

    I'm trying to return on an OMF for a feature film. I want to go over the hearing for this step.

    Sending the draft directly to hearing seems to work, but somewhere in the process

    the file names are changed: the name of each file gets a prefix "extract" - why?

    E.g. BRDS40E1T1.wav-> BRDS40E1T2 extracted.wav

    It is very for the sound engineer solutions. Is there a way to maintain the

    original file names? I intend to return on a referenced OMF, if original file

    name seem to be essential.

    Thanks for the help.

    See you soon

    PS: also something odd: why hearing is writing new files, when I just let out a referenced OMF?

    The suffix _extracted is actually added by Premiere Pro when he sends stuff to the hearing.  Unfortunately, hearing has no control of this.  The reason why the suffix is added because it creates a copy of the clip (and the underlying file) which is just adorned range of the clip around the length of the handle.

    Regarding the hearing of new write files when a referenced OMF sending, he will try to avoid creating additional copies.  OMF has restrictions on the characters that can be in the name of the file, the sampling frequency, the number of bits, how long is the file name and so on.  So if there are things that do not match this criterion, it will create a new file.

    You can test this by importing an OMF that embedded media in hearing. He extracted integrated media, and then write a new OMF with the media in reference to what has been extracted. Since we know that the file names and the rest of the OMF-legal, it should be able to just reference the file directly without a copy.

  • EDI outgoing file name

    Hi Alain,

    When I test EDI X 12 834 outgoing, the generated file is in the format % From_party%_%unique_id%.dat. I'm not sure that the unique_id is the number ID or transaction message control, anyway it is a unique timestamp.

    My question is can I specify the name format for outgoing file? File name Convention is proposed recently. It is not compatible with the outgoing file name by default.

    Yes, it's a unique id to the timestamp.

    My question is can I specify the name format for outgoing file?

    In your FILES/FTP/SFTP channel, you can specify the format of file name personalized (with some restrictions) in setting "filename Format". Please look for "Filename Format" here.

  • Conversion of an include before including file name

    Hello

    I have several include files with the .shtml extension in the file name. The .shtml files, however, containing simple html. I need to use the file extension shtml due to a requirement of my host. Long story.

    In any case, I use the following entry to include it in my news.php file: <? PHP include ('franchise_header.shtml');? >

    When the news.php file is uploaded to the server and treaty, php treats him * *.shtml file and wants to treat it as an SSI file. Once that happens, I get errors. What I have to do is to get php to display the file as 'franchise_header.txt '. Once includes have the extension .txt file everything works fine since php see the extension txt and plunges the html code of the region, I need no further processing. But I don't want to physically change the names of files on understands it.

    Question: Is there a way, through php, take the .shtml file extension and convert .txt dynamically, and then execute the include command after that?

    Thank you!!! I couldn't find information through web search.

    Includes server-side require at least two files.

    1. the parent file - one who calls understand it.
    2. the include file - one being included.

    The parent file MUST be named with the extension that triggers a server
    parse. If include it is an ordinary HTML inclusion, this extension may be
    * .shtm (l), or * .asp, or if your host has enabled the analysis for all server
    file extensions, so it is not matter what you name.

    The include file has no restrictions of designation - you could name it
    'foo.monkeybutt' If you wanted, and it would continue to operate.

    Now that we have that out of the way, does this mean that your host wants
    you name the file with this extension include?

    > I need to use the shtml
    > due to a requirement of my host file extension.

    If so, the host is a jerk. Otherwise, I'm sure you've misinterpreted
    requirements of the host.

  • Change file names

    I have some videos imported Photos.  I put titles for videos, but when I click and drag them to my office, he still has generic file names (i.e. IMG_0013.m4v).  Is there a way to change the file names of videos and photos from photos?

  • Is it possible to sort the images by file name?

    I imported a record of 200 images in Photos for OS X (El Captain). Image files have been appointed in the order - I want them to appear in a slide show: photo_01, photo_02 etc...

    Once I imported the images - I found them all out of order - and the only options I can find in the view menu are somehow 'oldest first', 'newest first' or ' title '. Please, someone tell me I'm missing something obvious - he and not that Apple chose to omit the possibility to sort the images by name? If this is the case - I'm speechless - how is f - ing stupid!

    Sort by file name is not an option in the Photos. Albums and smart albums you yourself set can be sorted by name, date of capture, or manually.

    Sorting through the predefined albums is automatic:

    • 'Photos' display with moments and collections is sorted by date of capture and the location.
    • 'All the Photos' display is sorted by the date of the import session.
    • Other built-in smart albums are sorted by the date of capture.

    You can see the current sort order, preset, if it is grayed out in the "view > sort ' menu.

    As a workaround:

    1. If you need to want pictures to be sorted by file name, copy the name of the file in the title field. Then, create a smart album of the items and sort by title. We have posted a trick to copy the name of the file in the title field for the selected photos: Script: change the title filename without Extensionor: Script: batch change the titles of the Extension/w
    2. Or view your photo library in pictures of power.  This versatile tool lets you browse photos as a list or thumbnail while looking the other metadata under the thumbnails or displayed as list with columns selected and sorted by columns.

  • Unmasking the exported files file name extension

    Hello

    When you export a Pages (PDF, DOCX...) file (.pdf, .docx...) file name extension is hidden automatically, even if it appears in the file save dialog box. As it is for most of the files that will be sent to the employees on a PC, see the file extension name is very important.

    Is it possible to force Pages to let these visible extensions?

    Thank you!

    Paolo

    It belongs to your PC users own parameters so they have file extensions or not.

    On a Mac, just select the file and Get Info (command I) then check the box show the file extension .

    There is also a checkbox in the Save dialog to show or hide the extension.

  • Multiple images with the same file name no doubt prevent export

    iMac running OS X El Capitan v10.11.6; Photos 1.5

    I'm trying to export approximately 331 images and I get an error report saying that only 169 of the exported images due to the inability to create files for 159 of the images.  Then the report gives me the names of files of the first 100 images for which files were not created.  After looking at many images that would not create a file, I realized that, in any case, there was at least one, if not several, other images with the SAME EXACT FILE name as the image in question.  I can't change the names of files by right click on "info".  I tried to export the images and change the names of files to export using the sequential option and the option of album name - always having exactly the same problem.  I even tried not to export an image at once and change the name of the file individually or no available. Is there a work around that? I desperately need to export those specific images. I am trying to create a photo album for shown to mothers who choose a family with which you want to place their child/ren for adoption. I'm at my wit's end.  The kicker is I'm moving towards trying to export all my pictures, and that's going to be a HUGE problem in course for me, so I really hope that there is a way around this question somewhat simply. I am a hobby photographer and use the computer for businesses and crafts.  I've seen a few posts that included answers referencing "AppleScript" - I have no idea how to do something like that.

    From here on I will DEFINITELY ensure that my Canon continually numbers the names of image files and automatically resets.  For the other photos other than Canon, is possible to rename images during the import of the lot?

    All advice and help will be GREATLY appreciated!

    Finder has the ability to rename files with various models of lot.  Simply select all the files to rename, right-click one of the selected files, choose 'Rename X points... '. ", and then set the options and click on the button"Rename ".
