All ALBUMS * .tmp files have now updated the 25.10.2009 and about the same time.

Thank you for your response.

Kind regards

Hello

Thank you for the additional information.

Yesterday, I decided to register on IT * files .tmp on DVD and I removed them from the TEMP directory. I decided to do it because none of the processes they used at the time of my comment. I compared the the event logs for any new warnings or errors, but mistakes are appearing as before removal. The errors are:
-The parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error: the service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices is associated to him.
-Could not load the plug-in module. (GUID = {56F9312C-C989-4E04-8C23-299DEE3A36F5}) (Error code = 0 x 80042019)

I haven't checked on the first error, but it appears in the system log because I erased the corrupt system log - also before deleting the files.
The second is well known 'Vaio Entertainment Database Services' error (in the application log) and everyone invites you to remove this service from startup list. So maybe I'll do it.

My Vaio has now extra 7.5 GB of free space and has no performance or other problems (so far).

Today, I tried this (sfc/scannnow) system scan and the log is perfectly clean. Nothing has been repaired.
Also checkdisk returns nothing abnormal so I think the albums * .tmp not fail at any other SW. The other issue is how they were created, but as my log files have been corrupted (another known problem of vista), I will probably never know the answer.

If new sth will appear on the subject (e.g. new TOP * .tmp files), I'll write again.

Thank you once again.

Andrej

    Bad idea. You cannot use a temporary table? Insert into the table and attach it to your application.

    Concerning

    Marcus

    You can work around the restrictions with

    WHERE x (1000 values)

  • Why did I not more 74 000 files in more than 4,000 files taking up beyond 1 GB in my Cache folder (I also have a much smaller Cache2 folder)?

    As far as I know, I did nothing to create all these files. They slow down disc scans and as far as I know I need one. I can simply remove all but one, or is there a reason for them being there?

    What of the folder Cache (2)?

    They should be deleted. If Firefox crashes for this session cache files cannot be deleted. Records may not get deleted at all. Certainly to empty your cache files. If you delete while Firefox is running, then you will be able to clear all except those that Firefox is actually using the session.

    After you have emptied your cache of the old files and folders, it would be useful if you have disabled your Internet Explorer cache files also.

    To help reduce the problem, clear your cache files when Firefox ends.

  • More than 25,000 files, a directory, write more simular names unless 'modified' date is different

    Hi all

    I came across an interesting task. I got a directory that keeps documents (word, excel, pdf).

    The problem is that the last owner of the directory would create folders such as the 'year' than to create a separate cover for a "subject" to copy the file in each folder. If a different topic and/or year used the same file, it would copy it into all subdirectories that apply. He would edit each file individually or not at all.

    Over time, it has created more than 25,000 files. So my task is to:

    1. Move all the files in a directory.

      1. Delete all subfolders
    2. Replace the similar files
      1. Keep the files with the same name but different dates of updating the

    There are approximately 15 300 conflicts of files... How to listen to this process instead of just going through the line and click on ' move and replace or ' move, but keep both files ' on all 15 000 files.»

    Is it possible to have the computer overwrite all files that are 1? Named the same 2. Date of update the same, to keep files with 1. Same name 2. Different modification date.

    Example of

    Part 1

    File1.doc "change: 12/06/2013.

    File1.doc "change: 12/06/2013.

    Result: Crush him. File1.doc

    Part 2

    File1.doc "change: 12/06/2013.

    File1.doc ' modification: 02/11/2014.

    Result: Keep each files File1.doc, and file1 (2) .doc

    I think you could do this with a few very carefully created batch or PowerShell traverses the directories, but it is certainly not an easy task.

    I would dump all the files in a single directory, then just run a real program of double killer (I have a good one in my OneDrive here if you want to use it).  Then you will be left with files all really unique, no duplicates of all, actually run the two examples you listed in one fell swoop.

  • Hello, I want to build several video clips with more than 500 images (pictures) of each clip. I need to apply a different video transition effect to each photo. It might even be random effects. I see that I can apply a unique to all p transition effect

    Hello, I want to build several video clips with more than 500 images (pictures) of each clip. I need to apply different transitions video effects by alternating each photo. It could be random effects. I see that I can apply a unique pictures transition effect at the same time, but how to apply different transitions not one by one? I could do a clip applying different transitions manually as I wish between hundreds of photos, but I would like to be able to repeat all the transitions of a new video by changing only the photos. Is this possible? Or a tool to apply random transition effects between photos? Or a way to automate the actions to apply different transitions similar to what we can do in Photoshop? Thank you!

    But how to apply different transitions not one by one?

    You can not.

    If you wish to make a slideshow with all the transitions better fantasies use something like Pro Show gold.

    We have a requirement of use to increace the search results for any type of technique to over 500 (now the set limit). Is it possible none in the system?

    This limit is in place for performance reasons and cannot be rid of basic research.   However, usually when users want more than 500 results is because they are tasks considered compared to standard search/navigation tasks.   For tasks in report, we published reports ready.  Ready reports offers the same features that the search you can adjust the limit of 500 and run saved contextual criteria.   Alternatively, you can calm the concern for the performance by implementing enforcement reports, ready to use a reporting database if necessary.
