only the file name link alert

A selected object

I would like to alert the name

not the file extension

var mySel = app.activeDocument.selection;
alert (mySel.link.name);

Alert: Flower.eps (it is not)

Alert: Flower (I want)

OK, the problem is to deal with selection on the top shows the name of the link without extension. Try this:

mySel = app.selection[0];
alert (mySel.graphics[0].itemLink.name.replace(/(.+)(\..+)$/, '$1'));

  • Cannot right click Windows 7 Explorer of files to generate the copy of the file names in a Notepad or Excel-compatible file. HELP REQUESTED!

    I struggled for several hours to restore the service right click that I used to have XP to Windows 7.  I need to save lists of file names such as displayed in the file Explorer. Allowing you to right-click and save files in Notepad. This option has been removed in Windows 7 and anything put in place to restore it.

    I have lists of items in the inventory and need to copy and paste the image corresponding to a transfer sheet to allow the server names to match images in article SKU.  The file names are long and typing is a complete waste of time.

    I used to be able to find them in the Windows Explorer, right-click on the directory and generate a txt file that I could open in Notepad or Excel.  -Easy.  Now right-click only allows an export in an uneditable image in ONE NOTE. This is useless for me. I can't do anything with an image file - I need the editable data.

    Is there a solution?  I need only the file name and extension, not the full path, in a text or spreadsheet document propagation.

    I had used the Microsoft solution to install their dose without knowing the final format was a NOTE image file format and not a simple txt file. I try now too write the batch file:

    %windir%\Printdir.bat

    or edit it in order to keep the file in Notepad and do not make the final conversion into a single Note.

    The problem is that the fix from Microsoft, designed to fix this problem, has placed the conversion file in the root directory and it cannot be overwritten.  I refused the possibility to delete, edit or write the file due to the requirements of administrative privilege mandated by the security of Windows 7 too much.

    So if anyone has a solution to every problem - that would help - I am very tired and frustrated and not happy with Microsoft.  Their zealous concern with security made their unnecessary programs for me and have further discouraged me to convert to the windows 10. frustrations and nightmares are waiting for me there I can't imagine.  What I really want to do at this point is to go back to XP.

    He ate five hours of my day. I don't have the time to fight like that. I am trying to be productive, but all I got are monumental technical walls and roadblocks - often designed into the system. Frustrating doesn't begin to describe it.

    Found a solution on a Web site:

    http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-print-a-directory-tree-from-Windows-Explorer.html

    They said it was for VISTA, but worked for me under Windows 7. You will need to use Notepad to the command prompt and select run as administrator to save the file in the root directory.

    Thanks for the help.

    Cheers.

  • Write to the worksheet only if the file name is different

    Hi all

    I'm trying to write some code, but to no avail. Basically I have a file name to each time interval (say 2 seconds). I built a small table for example.

    The names of files in the table are repetitive and I don't want to write the data in the worksheet, if the file name is the same.

    Bascially, I need to write the header and the table for the 1 c:\1.txt files and after c:\1.txt the data (more than 3) I want to only write the table only (no header) and add it to the worksheet.

    That is to say for c:\1.txt file, it will consist of 1 header and 4 sets of table.

    Then the process is repeated again until a newfilename (c:\2.txt) is encountered.

    c:\2.txt will also include 1 header and 4 sets of data.

    Can anyone help on this?

    Your loop is you allowing to read beyond the end of file names in your table. This passes an empty file name write it on the spreadsheet VI which requires to ask the name of the file. You should test this condition.

    How can I print just the file names listed in a window of Windows 7?

    I found the info in this post...
    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-files/for-Windows-7-can-i-print-a-listing-of-what-is-in/b233cbeb-647d-4E32-ae1f-8523d62b2dc9

    Here, a link takes me to an article at this link...
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/321379

    This article explains then that I need to download and run blindly 'Fix - It' application to obtain the simple ability to print a directory window... but it does not say what I'd do once downloaded the general application of "Fix - It" to get this option which should be part of the Windows 7 basic features first.

    Or, the article told me that I can "modify the registry" (?) in order to get the print option window... but I know that by having a character moved when editing the registry, it can bring down the entire computer and make it completely unusable.

    Those are really the only options to print all simply a window?... in addition to several screenshots and melted together in Photoshop and then print this image?

    Why not just give Windows 7 a 'PRINT' button under 'FILE' as other operating systems have always done... has always done Windows default this feature?

    This seems just crazy... This misunderstanding?

    Thank you

    NuMetro

    I tried to copy and paste the name of the window... This time I tried while holding down the SHIFT key and it sticks anything in Notepad.

    This is not what I've proposed.

    • Select the files whose names you want to print. CTRL + A selects all.
    • Hold the SHIFT key, then right click on a file and select copy in the path from the context menu. This will put a list of filenames (path) to the Windows Clipboard.
    • Click inside a document, and the stick.

    Have another go.

  • Copy the text for the file name

    I have looked around for this but have not found much. I have a server with thousands to print sheets of the evidence and from the beginning, long before me, the files have been saved with verbal descriptive names. It would be much better if they were registered according to the number of PO. All the evidence leaves have a number of purchase order listed at roughly the same place on the sheet... is possible to copy this number of the field in the pdf file and save the file in a new folder under the file name using a script using this number?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Titles or subtitles of the file name?

    Is it possible to automatically generate the titles or subtitles of the file name? I have a video made up of several small files and you need to insert their names under the name of a chapter, or at least as a subtitle. FCPX only supports to support the generation of TC.

    The short answer (obtuse) is not. Not in FCPX alone.

    I seriously doubt you will be interested in this procedure, but someone might be.

    You need movement (this is the only expense here), TextWrangler and a droplet of Automator (see below).

    First, gather all your files of clips in a folder.

    Drop the file on the files in the folder (the automator app/drop) that will create a text file with the names of all files in the folder. When you are prompted to save the file, you can name it and save it wherever you want.

    Gout Gets the names of files from the Finder, and they are complete paths, such as:

    / Users/fx/Desktop/txtLicenses/Aardvark Cafe readme.txt

    [You can download a copy of the 'Files in the folder' drop HERE ]

    Open a window in TextWrangler, and then drag the text file to a blank page (very cool - TextWrangler automatically opens the file with drag and drop.) [TextWrangler is FREE of Barebones.com (http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/) software, everyone should have a copy! The most recent version is 5.0.2 in date 25/12/2015]

    Type the command + F to open the Find/Replace dialog box. Make sure that Grep is checked.

    To find them, use this regex:

    .*\/(.+)\.. +

    [translated: find everything up to and including the last ' / ' character, can find everything up to the last period and save it as a game (the parenthesis) and then find everything at the end of the line]

    As an alternative, use:

    \1\n

    [Translated: prints the substring and adds a newline character - it will be double space lines of text]

    In the drop-down menu with the label of 'g', save... (model - something like Remove Path and FileType) so you can find it again easily.

    The text from the above example will become:

    Aardvark Cafe readme

    [and will follow an empty line]

    [I recommend you do all your spelling at this point.] Make sure that all text is as you want it to appear in FCPX. Repair later gets a bit dicey. and generally it is a good idea to start over if you need to make changes to the text file.]

    Save the file with another file in TXT format.

    On the move:

    Create a project generator. It can be almost any length, so accept the default value of 10 seconds. You will be stretching out in FCPX in any case.

    Add: Generators > text > file

    [You can use the Inspector to Format to choose the font, size, etc. and the inspector looks for color and 3D options].

    In the Inspector of the generator, find the section, load your text file

    Set the speed to Custom

    Reset the Custom speed setting

    Publish the speed of Custom setting slider

    Save in FCPX (and create a category called subtitles)

    When you save the generator in FCPX, the file being used is hard-copied in the media for access folder. You cannot publish the setting browse generator, so all files subtitles prepared in this way are projects of "One Shot". You can throw away them once your project is completed because their utility essentially died with the FCPX project.

    In FCPX, apply the generator to the plot and develop it to adapt to the length.

    Keyframe of the lines of text to match the timing of your video. This is where double spacing will be useful because it is a real pain in simple lines of keyframe and you will need a bit of space for a step-by-step. You can, of course, import the audio portion of your story in motion, create a project for quite a long time for the entire length and key image subtitles in movement. You can export as, eventually, the subtitle project as ProRes (if you do not use 4444, then you can apply the Composite blend mode add to the layer that you use in FCPX as the background should be black.)

    If all of your clips are the same length of time, then using the subtitle generator is a snap. Set a keyframe at 0 for the appearance of the first line and in the end, the last line should appear, simply drag the speed until the last line shows control (should be at or close to 100%). The generator systematically displays a single line both throughout the progression of his 'read'

    I found that the faster is to import the audio in motion and create a Motion project, the length of the audio used for subtitles + a little extra at the end.  Listen to the audio, and for each line that you display, add a keyframe... little whatever it is. When there is a keyframe for each line, listen again and adjust keyframe values to display the line. This will leave you with linear transitions from one image to another key (and overlapping in some cases, or the appearance of lines before image real key because of "Rounding errors") - is NOT a problem! Just select 1 keyframe, type command + A to select all the keyframes, and then right-click on a keyframe and select constant on the menu drop down. This will create a step-by-step through each value and you give the * discreet * timing you have need for the text to appear at the right time.  Remove the audio track and save the project as a generator of FCPX... it is faster and easier to export a track video overlay.

    You need movement 5.1.x or better (there are serious problems with 5.0 versions and file generator.)

    I know it doesn't look like it, but this method of captioning is much easier than ANY other software of captioning I've tried in the past... NO timecode or the special formatting is required... other recommended spacing to double.

  • How can I have the file name as visible caption on the photo

    I have several hundred digital images that I have edited and saved with a meaningful file name.  I would like to produce a slide show and then burn to DVD with the name of the file as a legend, preferably (but not necessarily) without the file name extension (for example, my photo.jpg would show as 'my picture').

    I (Pinnacle Studio) software that will import photos or DVD, and I'll create my slide show with Studio, since I am familiar with this software, but the Studio does not automatically create captions.  Re-type the captions for each slide will be intensive work and maybe isn't necessary.  I have a couple of programs that will produce a legend using the file name, but they are old and do not have an option to burn a DVD - only to run the slide show from the software owner.  I also Ulead FT 6 and Adobe PS Elements 6.  I am running Vista and have another computer with XP, so I have the photo editing software that comes with those.  I haven't found something that will prepare a folder of photos by file name as legend I can burn on a DVD.

  • The file names changed in wingdings, including the file extension and I can't delete, change them, open, etc. Here are the pictures.

    Have (had) a file with multiple files it contains with pictures in each file.  A week ago the pictures were there.  Now, the names are replaced by wingdings as names and file extensions.  When I try to open it, it is not accessible and that the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.  When I try to delete it, it says that the file name you specified is invalid or too long and specify a different name.  When I try to rename it, it tells me that if I change the file name extension, the file may become unusable.  If I try to change anyway, it says I've specified file name is not valid or too long.  Only tried for the name 1.  I did a restore in the case where a program interfered with that.  However, nothing has changed.  All of the suggestions.

    You can download and try to delete the file Unlocker http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtmlwilh.  Although it is not designed for this particular circumstance, it may very well work in all cases, as it has been very successful in a wide variety of situations are not specifically highlighted in the directions (where do not work the normal Vista options).  NOTE: Some antivirus flag programs this program as a malware, but it is a 'false positive' and is safe to use perferctly.  My own software to flag, but several other well-known software products it clean and the warning is included in the documentation of the program.

    I wish there was a way to save the images, but at this point, it seems that the only option is to delete because you can't rename files EHF (if this option is available-I hope that work above).  Unfortunately, System Restore does not affect the files of data, so even if a program caused this, System Restore can eliminate the cause, but it would not restore the files to their previous names.

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky because they retain the files called snapshots http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions.  It can be used to recover previous versions of files that have been changed or deleted accidentally.  Here's how: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, you don't have a shadow, but there is a free program for you that does essentially the same thing called Shadow Explorer: http://www.shadowexplorer.com/.  I suggest that you download and implement as soon as POSSIBLE to protect you if you accidentally delete or modify a file.  It will not help you in this instance, but it can help save the next time.

    I'm more concerned about why this has happened in the first place and prevent it from happening again.  I saw file names change before, but never of wingdings which then do not let you open, edit, delete, or rename.  We will check some of your system files: go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  If you find any these corrupted files, try to post them here.  Maybe we can replace the good files on the disc.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

    If this does not work, then please post repetitive errors in Event Viewer about the name change (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

    If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work - but it will probably not fix your renamed files.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

    Good luck!

  • Error message: "the file names would be too long for the destination folder.

    I move the files from internal hard drive to external hard drive using cut and paste.  I get a message "the file name would be too long for the destination folder.  You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path. "I then gives me choices to skip or cancel.  What happens to files that are ignored?  Are they deleted?  I don't want to lose all the data, but there are more 2 000 files with this problem, so passing by and rename each one really isn't a viable solution.  I don't really understand how the file names were originally created/saved about a problem that is only now that I want to move them.  The disc source and destination are NTFS.  Is there a solution for this?  It is imperative that no data is lost.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    N ° to check that what I say is correct, create a new folder
    for the purposes of the trial and to make a copy of some files. To ensure that
    one of them has a long name (rename if necessary), and then try to copy
    These files on the external drive. When you get the message, choose
    'jump' and see what happens.
