Maintainining and organize files on disks

I have all my files stored on my main computer.  Every night, I automatically copy these files on my first external hard drive.  Then it will take on the secondary disk files and copy them to the third external hard drive. So I always at least two backups. Somehow the files got disordered, some files have been moved inadvertently they do not belong to folders, etc.

Is there a software that examines the files in three places, will keep the most recent and trash the rest?

    Best practices MMO. Download music and heavy files on disk hard users?

    I just downloaded a Hello Kitty MMO application to search (for my kids of course).

    I am developing my application of teaching of English with LOADS of classical music, mp3 and heavy bottom BGS phrases. The best idea would be client to download them to their drive hard is to say that I wouldn't need their flow and therefore save a fresh wealth of bandwidth from my ISP?

    See you soon

    You will need test and see what works best for you... as I said, the files are cached and used in the cache whenever possible. However, there is a limit to the size of the cache, and if your files are huge then yes there is probably more sense to download. Or get a better reception where bandwidth is not a problem...

  • Move and organize files based on the number of lines

    Hello

    I have a directory containing files nearly 1,500, some of which are composed of 12 lines, some of which are composed of 4 lines, which are all .phy (PHYLIP) files, which can be viewed in Notepad/wordpad as text files.

    I need to execute a script which will determine the number of lines in each file and move them to the corresponding folder. The file size will not work for sorting, I've tried.

    that is, all files with 4 lines in one folder, all the files with 12 lines in another folder, any files left (so I can be sure that everything has been inspected) in the main directory.

    Can anyone help?

  • How to organize the project and the files associated with the Premier Pro

    I tried to hold the input and output files to the Premier Pro (body) to optimize PC speed and keep different projects in separate folders.

    To optimize speed, I try to balance the I/O to the body on different drives. I'm editing on a dedicated PC i7 - 3930K, OS W7, 32 GB of RAM, with 2 SSD and 7200 4 discs arranged in 2 RAID 0.  A SSD (C drive) contains the files program, Documents, Photos and Audio.  The other 3 are used to store the video media.  The second SSD is used for the Cache and editing intermediate files. A RAID contains the video and audio Source, the other RAID files, export files.  I try to balance the input/output between readers.

    To organize files, I try to place each project with its related assets in a separate file.  In Production Premium CS6, default organization of the C:\Documents\Adobe\6.0 projects.  I'm confused because when I put Destination project in the project manager to another location, it always end up in the default location.  To change the location of the project, I find that it is initially allocated to the default, then I manually move it to another folder.  After you restart the body I open a project in the new folder.  Even though I have been editing for many years, I do not edit full time, so I need to refresh my knowledge for the fair distribution of the files such as the Scratch disks...

    To make life interesting, different programs spread differently.  Mocha, the project folder and the default output to the same location.  I found Mocha has a project and output destination allocation of menus that once I put them in different places always end up together.  I was advised to change the location of the moka project as I do with the body, but nothing has changed.  Speed and coordination PC file locations is a challenge.

    I have reviewed the training locations in the body.  Please direct me to the training to refresh my understanding on how correctly assets and distribution projects in the organization.  I also want to understand all the terms and possible menu assignments, if training is available.  A video presentation is preferred.

    The 'libraries', never use integrated in Windows. Those who are buried on the C drive in a rat hole of a tree of files to implement for backup and everything. Really, quite a stupid implemented well. And having the documents on your system drive is very well... doesn't really matter, those not need for speed of access. Put YOUR assets, such as pictures, images, graphics and stuff, in the folders that you create on the drives for them to the best "work" for you.

    So anything I have listed (quite well off of the page of this Tweaker) interferes, or interfaces with Microsoft stupidity wonderful intentions. One just go to the configuration of the places one wants to work as you want for better performance. It is STRONGLY recommended that in these various drives you set up folder trees that are easy to understand AND easy to use for the implementation of backup programs. The Tweaker has rather detailed suggestions tell for the settings of the cache for the Windows system files, which drive page size parameters to use. Those are the only things we change concerning the functioning of the system, and MS is only available for users to use. What readers and how much drive space you want to * system * using the cache? Your choice.

    PrPro has its own set of cache, database, project, and preview file default locations, so that the program won't work if nobody use it knows how to correctly set things upward. These default values are the folders system/users/blah/blah/blah/blah blah... not particularly easy to access for backup configurations, cleaning, that sort of thing, and not JUST because Adobe prefers you use those. In fact, they recommend that YOU set for the best working speed. The default values are all system-car and ensure the performance of the slug-bug.

    When you go to edit-> Preferences dialog box, you will find a number of these things assorted options for which you want to put them. The project settings dialog box is for each project, and it is where tell you him to put THAT prproj main project file & some other assets. It is generally recommended that you put each project in its own folder on a folder tree of files to the disc that you put your project files on.

    Note... all the different bits of the project files, database, cache and preview files have both read & write processes under constant operation. These things need quick access, usually put one shown previously one or two of them to a drive with SATAII internal best matches, or a 4/5 RAID 0/5 array disk.

    Images (media) and rendering (final exports) are mostly one-way moves. Images is primarily a read-only, and export operation is mainly a single write operation. So those who can live on slightly slower connections to the need to obtain. As to say the very fast 128 GB USB3.0 flash drive PNY I acquired in the user suggestions a couple. I tested it, and 1080 p images and exports can be handled by that without slowing down everything else... but ONLY one of these. Either images or exports, NOT both! Few people have found that say that an external SSD with images on a USB3.0 connection is usable in the things their system and speeds but spread across these disks in read/write to access tasks on several pipelines. Some have tried and found that their USB bus is also used for other internal disc or other connections, and so they had no gain speed or slow things down. Test... test.

  • Organization of the wrong understanding OSX and presentation files?

    I'm a former developer/project manager who comes to Mac OSX after 15 years with Linux and 10 years of Windows, and I find myself confused in how file names are presented under OSX. The documents seems to provide a list of all the documents independently rental; i.e. their location is not provided. There are tags that allow a file to be found quickly, but the hierarchy folder, subfolder... file doesn't seem to be easily configured or maintained.  Now, I believe that system developers who designed and built the operating system, which, under the covers, works great as Linux, have an intention here to leave the structure of the files for different applications, or renounce the Organization of hierarchical tags for files or I missed something quite fundamental (the latter more likely possibility).

    Does anyone know how better to organize files and folders? My counter top is becomes quite cluttered with files, alias of folders and files that I would normally be organize in folders and project areas. I probably could understand it, but I think that I'm not the first to ask the question.

    Thanks for your time

    The short answer is to keep all your documents in the 'Documents' folder in your Home Directory, i.e.

    ~/Documents

    You will probably want to create subfolders for specific projects, as you always have. There are also a few folders with names like 'Photos' and 'Music' for obvious purposes.

    I have my office as a temporary area and try to ensure that there is that more nothing at the end of the day. (Many workplaces as this rule for the offices of the real world, which is where I got the habit.)

    You are right, Apple wants to get rid of the traditional tree-structure file system for users. There are compelling arguments for this security because it facilitates the sand-boxing-based application. But it is a daunting task because many people have 'project-based' work and keep everything about each project in a folder.

    Among other things, Apple attempted to replace the traditional file system with 'Tags', which nobody do not know I love him. Very few people have obsession for tags files constantly and I have, on the one hand, don't trust Apple to not abandon them at some point in the future if I rarely use them.

    Attempt of another, much more successful, is "Spotlight", who, on a good day, can work magically. Unfortunately, it's a little weird and does not work for all types of files.

    So, I still organize my files into a tree-like hierarchy supplemented by alias. Spotlight is a nice bonus. Maybe one day I'll take like tags, but not today.

  • Organize files and folders

    I am the only user and the owner of my computer.  Mr. Gates and Vista have decided how to organize my personal files and do me not have permission to move and organize as I wish - I get the message that I don't have permission to move videos from the folder my documents to the folder my videos.  I have not authorized to change the other settings on MY OWN computer, personal and private.  your FAQS don't answer this question.  I bought this computer with your HP operating system, yet your cat says that my product (within a year) does not qualify for support unless I want to enrich your coffers of $50.00 / hour - not even knowing if you can help - YOU ARE THIEVES - I HATE MICROSOFT MORE WITH EVERY 'IMPROVEMENT' YOU MAKE to YOUR OS.  I NO LONGER USE YOUR OTHER PRODUCTS AND WILL SWITCH TO LINUX INSTEAD OF GIVING YOU MORE MONEY TO WORSE ME WITH WINDOWS 7.
    Ware
    BILL GATES, MICROSOFT, the DEVELOPERS of WINDOWS - it's poor customer service.  I use the free and shareware programs that are as good or better than yours and allow me to configure and control my own computer - www.openoffice.org is better than MS Office.  www.Mozilla.org for firefox is better and SAFER than internet explore.

    GATES and MICROSOFT, you can be great now, but there is a growing reaction, and I hope to see you fall.  Your actions and your contempt for your customers and our desires will be your downfall.  the more you try and create a monopoly, competition more you are ending your rain.

    It sounds like a problem with permissions for me - what you want is possible.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.
     
    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

    P.S. Personally, I am very happy with Microsoft and almost all of their products and will probably continue to use them.  Perhaps it is because I have been largely trained in their use and have some difficulties, do what I want.

  • Volume letter and empty file system entries in disk management

    I have a D: drive which worked well for a few years. Now I can not access the content. In Explorer, it says:

    D:\ is not accessible the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable

    In disk management, the "Volume" and "File system" columns for this volume are empty. Right-click the product volume icon only help and not the list of other possible actions (open, Explorer etc) that has developed for other volumes. The Status column indicates "healthy (OEM partition). In the graphical display of the drive, it says 94 MB healthy, as it has always done for this volume.

    All other volumes are functioning normally.

    I got appreaciate any advice on how to study why this is happening.

    Can post you a photo of the lower pane in the window Disk Manager disk of sky as a shared file and a link here.

    You can access disk management by typing disk management in the search box above the Start button and pressing ENTER, or by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management.

    The letter D is commonly attributed to a DVD player. DVD shows only one size when a DVD is in the drive. 94 mb would not be a size, so it might be referred to or used free disk space.

    Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

  • Organize files and folders by date

    Now I know how to organize folders and files by created date, simply click on the tab and Explorer sorts.

    My question is how to organize files and folders together in date?

    If I remember right under win95 or 98 of time things were fixed that... Anyone know how?

    Thank you!

    Right click on a place empty and try the option "Group by", which groups them by date.  For example, all changed yesterday is in a group of "yesterday".

    Did you use your operating system to search for photos by file name?

    If you did, and research based on the operating system is unable to find the pictures, then you probably have been bitten by a rare but serious bug in Lightroom, which is described in the response 1 in this thread

    Hello
    Management should use a Diskgroup separated for OCR and Vote. I have the habit of creating a Diskgroup using normal redundancy (3 LUN) to files Clusterware.
    Currently starts is used for different purposes (FRA, ACFS, Clusterware files, database files, etc.) is highly recommended to use a diskgroup for each use. It will make a big difference when you do maintenance on start (like add/remove the disks/diskgroup, duplication, etc.)
    Oracle RAC FAQ:
    Best practices for ASM must have 2 starts. Best practices for OCR to ASM are to have a copy of the OCR in each diskgroup.
