Incompatible representation of Documents from My Documents

For some reason, today, Windows Explorer no longer displays c:\Users\MyUserName\Documents.  It shows no Documents c:\Users\MyUserName\My.  When I navigate to this folder and click in the address field, the path changes from the old to the latter (until I click elsewhere).  As if the file is actually the former it's translates to Windows Explorer to present to the user.  I show-hidden-files on and I also tried to show system files.  The problem persists.

I looked at c:\Users\MyUserName with the DOS shell and it shows documents but not my Documents.

I used Cygwin to access c:\Users\MyUserName, and it shows the documents as well as a My Documents folder as a symbolic link.

What could possibly be going on here, and how can we get a coherent representation of the file system?

It's just one of the seemingly constant flow, no end of pathologies that consumes those of work and personal time like a deadly cancer voracious.  But the truth is, I think I prefer pathologies of Microsoft on cancer, even though the two lop off important parts of life.

<\Rant>

Adding insult to injury, this site keeps demainding that I select in the drop-down list fields, even if all are populated.  It does not help that by selecting an option in the end seems to change the selection in the first, at least in the first attempt (Fortunately, only in the first attempt)

<\Rang again="">

Enable the display of hidden files and file system/os (of the your folder options View tab).  Then inside your Documents folder, delete the hidden file desktop.ini .  It is one that puts the "friendly" name of the folder.  If you were to access this folder on the network from another PC, you can hear the "Documents of Paul' instead of 'My Documents', because the functionality that you see is actually designed to help keep the folder names in the context for users.  But as you pointed out, it can make you see inconsistencies and just frustrate users of same as programmers were trying to help.

  • Adobe elements ORGANIZER problems 14

    Hello

    Recently improved to 12 items at 14.  12 items, I never used the Organizer, but decided to do it with 14 elements.  A problem occurred today since trying to my catalog files.

    I have a Mac that runs on El Capitan version 10.11.4 - problem seems to be that when you configure the Organizer all the files in my photo folder have been extracted and are now individually in images. They also have a numbering begins with B0012650 system. JPG to B0029316. NAVE and Backup.tly then Catalog.buc it takes 146,92 GB and represents 16557 Documents.

    There are also a number of items starting B0000000.cache then B00000002 then B00000003.json to Boo12652.json then Boo12653.dat then Boo12654.dat then Boo12655.cache in all a total 0f 12656 elements occupying 113.9 MB.

    My original photos which is held in the files the photo amounted to 120 files and occupy 202,66 GB, it seems that the organizer of items has now exhausted still 146,92 GB for images and 113.9 MB because I guess that metadata.

    Can anyone out there advise if this is correct or is something not good.  Adobe just told me to read some documents but non of them seem to show the point above.

    Hope you can help in this regard Kelvin

    try to learn says:

    Thanks Michel

    These are all just a list in my photo file. They be first placed a new file and if so how will be this file recognized by the elements and then moved to another drive?

    Cordially Kelvin

    Kevin,

    The problem may be that the elements that you show are mixed with other unrelated to those in the main folder of photos.

    Maybe not, but all the files you mentioned belong to a backup, as well as .xml or .xmp files possible and... specific subfolders.

    If you create a master folder where you want your catalogue to be. It is considered in the 'custom' location by the Organizer.

    From the Finder, you select all files (i.e. all starting by B00...) and move or copy to the empty folder.

    The backup folder will be ready for a restore on the file menu.

    In your case, since your 14 elements works, could be easier to voluntarily create a new backup to an external drive and simply delete the items above in your main folder of photos. That would free up unwanted space on your computer and you would have a new backup.

    The wrong backup can also created named subfolders:

    -FaceAnalysis

    -Previews

    -projects

    -styles

    -WaldoData

    Normally you can delete them all, but if you fear that these subfolders can be used by the Mac (unlikely), you could start by renaming them all first and if you get wrong, I mean delete.

    After contacting the representative of cat from Adobe, the answer is that the HR 10 does not support FM 7.2. HR requires FM 8 or later version installed:

  • Original SIPURA SPA 3000 help

    Five years ago, that I bought, directly from SIPURA, a new SPA-3000. I've never used but now I want to set up, but I want to make sure it has the latest firmware. I looked at the Linksys site (because any attempt to access www.sipura.com is redirected to Linksys) and found the firmware for the SPA-3000. Can someone tell me if this is the same unit as mine or changed from the original and the firmware does not work on mine?

    I tried to contact Linksys technical support, but their automated system tells me that I need to contact the dealer, who ironically is Linksys, since they bought Sipura. When I get to a real person that they just repeat that I have to contact the dealer of origin, they won't listen to me telling them that they are now the dealer.
    Can someone help and tell me what is the latest version of the software for this device and where I can download it? The configuration GUI displays the following information:
    Software version: 2.0.13 (GWg)
    Hardware Version: 2.0.1 (7067)

    Thank you

    Hello bsdaiwa, Yes this is the same unit. SPA-3000 has never really produced by Linksys, they later produced SPA-3102 units. Anyway, regardless of the producer of the unit (SPA or Linksys), they are able to use the same firmware.

    I myself have 2 pieces of SPA-1001 units, the 'old' box of Sipura, Linksys 'new' box, each of them having different revision HW and the two hapily run the same firmware 3.1.19 (SE) Linksys pages.

    Also, the SPA-xxxx units are protected from the flash of the incompatible firmware (for example from a different camera model), unit load the firmware first to the RAM, then check the "signature" FW, and that if it is the corresponding FW "signature" then unit flashes it it's rom flash and reboot.

  • Can we create Gantt chart using BI Publisher plug-in

    Hi Evereyone,.

    I'm working on a report that requires the Gantt chart to be published by unify. I use the BI Publisher MS Word and Excel plugin.

    Has anyone tried this before. It will be useful if you can share the steps or any other site which deals with creation of Gantt chart.

    Thank you

    It is possible. See this site for a starting point: https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/getting_gantty

    Basically, you create a table where each row represents an activity from your calendar sheet. You will need a space of great column for the Gantt chart and add a few MS Word forms (rectangles).

    If you play with and you can move the bar and size correctly. Download the appropriate shifts and durations in your data SQL view.

    This is the easiest part. The hardest part is to show the dates (weeks/months/years) at the top of your table with spacing on the right... It is actually easier to just the dates of beginning and end of each line.

    -It should be noted that showing the relationships between activities (ie. the lines connecting the bars) cannot be done in BI Publisher. If it is a requirement, I suggest that investigate you other approaches. You can list predecessor and successor activity in the form of column ID in your table instead.

    Hope that helps,

  • Fill the table with the default target

    I have a query like this:
    SELECT 0 AS ID,
    9999999999 AS CODE
    OF THE DOUBLE
    UNION ALL
    SELECT VEH. TP_ID AS ID,
    VEH. VEH_ID AS CODE
    OF TB_VEHICLE;

    So, I have an interface with two sets of data, one for each request.

    The first set of data represents the 'values' 'select from dual' and the second represents the ' select * from tb_vehicle ".

    In the first set of data I Don t have a source, then ODI generates a select without table 'select ID AS 0, 99999 AS CODE FROM.

    Any ideas on how I can achieve my goal? I need to fill up a line on the target with constant values table.

    Thank you

    If not, try this:

    Duplicate the LKM and IKM you use, make copies, something like LKM xyz (without Source), IKM xyz (without Source).
    Then adjust the KM steps accordingly, remove the 'FROM' part and replacement by (VALUES), keeping the substitution of odiref call in the parenthesis.

    If you have essentially a knowlede module that accepts any data source, generate:

    Insert $ CAN
    (col 1, col 2, col 3, etc.)

    VALUES
    (Objective 1, the mapping target 2 target mapping 3 mapping, etc.)

    I want to auto generate a word from a PDF document. Firstly, the OCR must identify the document. Then I want to be able to select the character 'areas' where the text will be different by document according to the document. Again, I want this automated process.

    We have many forms in our records. From these forms, we generate a list of documents that fully represents what is in the file. To create a list of accurate documentation of a specific file, I have to manually go page-by-page, extract specific information (they are in the same place) and the list of documents manually. I want to automate this process.

    The function of OCR in Acrobat does not 'zone' OCR.

    Server as "automation" is not supported by Acrobat (by license and by design). Acrobat is a desktop application, and so many activities can be "automated" via Acrobat JavaScript and Acrobat Actions (a feature of the 'Pro' version) a hot body will have to be available to keep things moving along.

    From what write you it's maybe that your specific needs would be better served by a category Server product. To research these remember Bing / Google is your friend.

  • My iPhone will not send photos or other documents directly from in Apps

    My iPhone 5 has always been able to send photos directly from the Photo App, as well as sending PDF files directly from the Pages App or other documents from other applications. Now, it is no more the case. After hitting the "send" - button, you hear the his "Whoosh"but nothing is actually sent! ".

    I discovered only after people complained to me for not getting points I thought that I had sent.

    When you import the same documents in Mail, there is no problem at all they are sent. The problem exists only IN applications.

    I tried to restart the phone several times as well as resetting - no change.

    It isn't a question of 2 check points.

    I would be very grateful if someone knew the solution to this problem.

    See you soon!

    I think the next thing I would try is to reset all settings. Settings > general > reset > reset all settings. This will return t e the device settings, to where they were out of the box - to the factory settings. You will need to enter all the settings again including WiFi passwords.

    If this does not work, back up, restore settings, and then restore the backup. If it still does not work, restore like new.

  • Any way to keep an excerpt from reformatting of PDF documents?

    I went to skim, because I have found no way to prevent the fitness to PDF, preview but is possible to use Preview and prevent preview PDFs reformatting?

    Preview is one of the apps that seems very well work for some people and mangle files for others, including me.

    I'm rather clumsy, and sometimes a box appears as I read and browse a file. If the box appears, then preview reformats the Pdf. If preview reformats the Pdf, then it can develop, a single document of my friends went from 21 mb to 2.68 gb and it can remove non-Latin characters from it.

    Is it possible to keep the box to appear?

    It is possible that I accidentally changed some settings to preview and activated this mess. I see not all likely parameters. It is possible that the preview was not designed for clumsy users and/or is not compatible with my scrolling solutions. I know that Apple is more fond of devices of contact, tapping, gestures and so on.

    I am currently using a vertical external mouse, with page up and page down buttons of the mouse for quick scrolling, as well as Scroll + for a slower and more precise scrolling. I don't have the coordination to use Mac tiny scroll bars or tendons of iron invulnerable to use scrollwheels without hurting themselves.

    is - this behavior happens with all PDFs or are they from a specific source PDF?

    ISO PDF (ISO 32000) can be damaged when they are opened in preview. Apple is apparently aware of the problem and has been for some time but has not addressed.

    Encrypted PDF is potentially problematic and allows you to avoid them.

    If you are looking for a test of alternative free PDF GIMP, Acrobat Reader or free Office

    You can also to resave the PDF file with one of these solutions and make a PDF file that behaves correctly in the preview.
