Move the file in the folder of the same name in AppleScript
I had a problem with the script below. Basically, on the execution of the script, I want to create folders based on the name of the file and move the files in the files of autocorrelation. However, at the minute, that I'll have to choose the folder in which the script should run.
Folder to choose a folder
say application 'Finder '.
located fileList to the name of every file in Folder with name extension is "m4v".
end say
the value point text delimiters to ".".
Repeat with dittos in list of files
get each text element of dittos
masterFile defined in the point 1 of the result
say application 'Finder '.
create a new folder to Folder with properties {name: masterFile}
move (each file from the folder Folder whose name contains masterFile) will cause
end say
end Repeat
Ideally, I would like it to run automatically, but the folder is on an external hard drive. (\Volumes\Lacie\Movies). and I had problems to use the POSIX and 'alias' to properly re-create the path of the file desired.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hello
You can try something like the AppleScript script which is a simple shell script wrapper.
set d to (choose folder)'s POSIX path do shell script "/bin/bash -s <<'EOF' - " & d's quoted form & " 2>&1 cd \"$1\" || exit shopt -s nullglob for f in *.m4v do m=${f%.*} [[ -d $m ]] || mkdir -p \"$m\" || continue mq=$(sed 's/[^[:alnum:]]/\\\\&/g' <<< \"$m\") # quote meta characters for regex find -E . -depth 1 -type f -iregex '.*/'\"$mq\"'.[[:alnum:]]+$' -print0 | xargs -0 -J% mv % \"$m\" done EOF"
For example, given that you choose/path/to/directory in the folder - source
Input state:
/path/to/directory/abc.m4v /path/to/directory/abc.txt /path/to/directory/abcd.m4v /path/to/directory/abcd.txt
Status of the output:
/path/to/directory/abc/abc.m4v /path/to/directory/abc/abc.txt /path/to/directory/abcd/abcd.m4v /path/to/directory/abcd/abcd.txt
Briefly tested under OS X 10.6.8 but no guarantee of any kind. Please make sure that you have a full backup of the original files and directories before you run this kind of script.
Good luck

Original title: folder permissions to move or copy.
I have a problem that I'm sure has a simple explanation but I don't know. I have a folder in the tree that whenever a user moves a file from one folder to another, the permissions do not update. Yet if a user copies the folder to the same location, permissions to update as expected. This only happens with XP. If I try with Win 7, if the user moves or copies, update permissions.
Has anyone seen this or have an explanation?

You can try to retrieve the object file by steps as well.
Something like this for example
$folder = get-data center-name 'LTX01-G8 | Get-file-name "LTX-servers | Get-file-name "LTX servers 0000 - 0299. Get-file-name Linux
I guess the first qualification in your path was the data center.

Move icon missing in the files downloaded in the clouds, so how do I move a file in a folder?
If you are on the page of files where all your files and folders are listed, then there are two ways to move:
The thumbnail (can only move a file or folder at a time):
- Click the triangle to display under the thumbnail.
- In the options that appear, select the Move button.
The list view (can move several files and folders):
- The check boxes for the files and folders that you want to move.
- The menu bar at the top left changes has a Move button.

Under Options in Firefox, I clicked on save the files under downloads, but the file name twice and an additional file with the same name is created in the folder, i.e.:
G:\Akbar's Songs\HAMARA DOWNLOADS\HAMARA FORUMS DOWNLOADS FORUMS
As you can see the file repeats, how can I fix it?
Also the music files, I download from a site of downloads as a WinRar file and I need to open it. Y at - it an option where the file opens automatically in the folder I chose?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Hi Akush, when you install 7 - zip, make itself the default application to open .zip and .rar files. So if you double click on the .rar file, it should open in 7 - zip. If you prefer to decompress immediately, right click the file and look for new 7 - zip items in the menu. I can't think of a way to do this automatically, however.

2 separated registered photos with the same name of file/number.
How can I separate 2 or more photos with the same name of file/number. Consult us in the case that I see a photo and when I open it I see a different picture. The second photo is not the case in the folder, but still I need to save. It seems they are crushed.

=============================================
FWIW... If a picture was crushed (replaced), it is unrecoverable.Are you saying that the vignette does not match the full size photo?
How_exactly_are you look at one picture?

I have a LOT of pictures in my computer (over a thousand) and I want to put them on a portable hard drive, I bought (1 terabyte) but I won't write any of the names of existing files with different images. IS THIS POSSIBLE? Do I need software or special hardware? I tried the copy/paste standard as well as move files to the new directory, but it seems that I can lose files. I'm not sure if the files that are missing (or lack, in my opinion) are not copied. When I finished emptying the directory, it shows that it is empty but the new directory does not seem to have any additional files that should be there based on the counting of the files before and after.
Thanks for any help you can provide, Bill
1: right-click and then drag the pix on the external drive. Release the right mouse button and choose copy here. They are there? Now remove it from the computer.
2: you can see pix of the same name overwrite each other, or be done with (1), (2), etc.. But even in this case, they will be interspersed with the former. If keep you them in separate folders with different names, that should not happen. Personally, I rename all the pix before storing them. You can select the set instead of the code of the camera and a group, rename the first holiday 2009 yo and the rest will be renamed holiday 2009 and each havf will one (1), (2), (3), after them.
It is also a nice freeware tool which, among other things, can rename a group of photos easily.

Renaming of files exe with the same name
I have
just installed a game on steam. The package ended up being buggy, so it did not work. But I found a solution on the Forum and he told me to rename these two files exe under the same name. Its the only way to fix the game. Others did and cela worked. When I try to rename the file an error pops up telling me that I can't have two files with the same name. In summary, this is what is happening.
two files are: prince of persia.exe and princeofpersia_launcher.exe .
Need to rename it to princeofpersia_launcher.exe to the prince of persia.exe
An error pops up saying ERROR RENAME FILE or FOLDER: cannot rename princeofpersia_launcher: a file with the specified name already exists. Specify a different file name.
The problem is that these two exe files MUST have the name of prince of Persia: work. Is it possible that I could do?
It is not possible to have two files with the same name in the same folder. Something is wrong with the instructions that you try to follow. What do say exactly? Can you give us a link for them?

Files and folders with the same name
I am trying to unzip some files and folders and it works fine on my computer with Windows XP. However, when you use Windows Vista I can't because there are folders and files with the same name. After an internet search, it seems that the only suggestion is to extract the files in separate folders which then would allow them to keep the same name. The problem is I want what they in the same folder and they need to have the names they have.
NOTE: I do have two files with the same name in the same folder, I have a folder and a file with the same name. I would have thought that this would be acceptable because they are two things separate, and given that it's great under XP.
All solutions?
You are right, if I make a file and a text file with the same name, it works fine. However, when I try to extract the files I need it tells me that there is already a file with the same name as the folder. He goes to tell me to choose a new name but my only options are 'try again', 'jump' or 'Cancel '.
I think I can understand what the problem is. For some reason when you download the zip file, the computer seems to have added a few files side with any format other than "file." It is those who have the same name as the folders as if they were, and they could not be uncompressed because of this. I have no idea whence they came as they appear from nowhere (compared to my XP). I'm trying now unzip the files separately and exclude the strange s 'file '.
Thanks for your help though!

DISABLE "there is already a file with the same name to this place.
Window 7. 64 bit. How do you turn OFF DISABLE, CANCEL, DELETE, STOP the pop-up 'MOVE the FILE'?
As a user since the days of DOS command lines and having had a routine all the way through to XP, this new window is one of the most annoying pop ups for an experienced user. If it isn't a swith toggle check box or an other power selection for this message, there must be. And if there is, you did it quite hard to find.
The dialog box that appears in Windows 7 that starts with "there is already a file with the same name to this place. It lists then the three choices - "Copy and replace", "Do not copy" and "copy, but keep both files.
I managed several libraries of forms which oblige me to replace the files throughout my day. I make a copy of the file I replace first of all, for archival purposes and this pop-up box is, well, it's boring. There must be a way to disable.
This box comes up to move files and to copy the files.
Any help in these turn off would be appreciated.
See you soon.

Save the file with the same name
How to change the script to save the file with the same name?

Return of the mistake of MUSE: why do we not have several files with the same name?
Well - I thought I had all this worked and fixed, but I met the download error 'Why do we have several files with the same name' once again. (I downloaded all the files several times today in order to 1) works the way it worked the last time and 2) get an OAM file that is not loading for some reason any load again and the download takes about an hour to transfer all the files manually.
To recap:
(1) an option "Upload only modified files" returns the 'Muse has encountered an error and closes. Why do we have several files with the same name? "error just as before.
(2) a full download will work but takes forever and is NOT a substitution for work changed files option.
Please advise with possible solutions!

Is it possible to have two .oam different files in different folders on your computer where the .oam files have the same name? I'm theorizing that there may be a bug in the treatment to ensure the folder created for a .oam placed on the server receives a unique name, particularly in the case of a partial update of the site on the server.
Please send us the .muse file and all the files in .oam related to [email protected] along with a link to this topic for the context so we can attempt to reproduce this error and isolate the root cause. If files are larger than 20 MB, you'll need to use a service such as Adobe send & Track, Dropbox, creative cloud, WeTransfer, etc. file sharing. Thank you.

Good morning friends,
So for my work, I need a script to open files with the same name but located in a different folder. But since I'm a total noob when it comes to programming, I can't understand how do. That's what I have in mind:
-J' I manually open an image.
-The script will look for a file with the same name in another folder that I've specified.
-The script will then select the channel CMYK of the second file and copy and paste it into the first file.
-The second file is then closed without saving the changes.
I have problems with the part where the script searches for a file with the same name as the opened file. I would really appreciate help. Thanks in advance.
