Smart folder criteria - "original source" vs "where?"

I have created a smart folder for files with a certain file extension and you want to exclude certain folders in the search. I tried the 'original source' and the criteria of 'where' (followed by the path of the target folder) without success, but I don't really understand what the difference is between the two. Can someone explain what each of these criteria actually mean or consult?

It is not a way to specify the records in a search. The definitions of these elements may be here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Carbon/Reference/MetadataA ttributesRef/Reference/CommonAttrs.html

  • is there a way to make a smart folder to hidden files in Picasa (or folders)?

    I know how to "unmask" the files on a Mac, but I was wondering if there was a way to make a smart folder of these hidden files. Specifically, I was looking to make a smart list of the original Picasa files that are usually hidden.

    You can add a criterion of visibility of the file. Is not a user of Picasa, I can't offer more specific advice.

    When you start a new smart folder, click on the button in the criteria section.

    Click on the button to select a category of criteria and choose another...

    Scroll the list (or using the search) to find the Invisible file. If you select and click Ok, it will serve as a criterion. If you want that this element added to the list of criteria, so you don't have to hunt for it with others, click the box "in the Menu.

    Combine this with some other criteria will be useful to isolate the original Picasa.

  • Windows Movie Maker 6.0 error during recording: check if the original sources are still available, the saving location is available and if there is enough disk space

    Original title: Windows Movie Maker 6.0 Save Bug?

    Something's weird with Windows Movie Maker...

    It cannot record movies, I create somehow.

    Immediamente when it starts to save, it gives an error signal: check if the original sources are always available (and yet, they all), there is no such thing as the save location (of course it is!) and if there is enough disk space (a lot of). Still, it will not save. How can this be possible?

    I use an mp3 file (pendulum - watercolor) and have a lot of footage, often used with effects. They are 1280 x 1024 and a .avi file. Everything should work fine, but still does not work. Help me!

    Reach... Tools / Options / compatibility... tab and

    The error that you received can be caused by the following:

    (1) source incompatible or damaged files (photos,
    video clips, audio clips).

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    (2) the project is too big or too complex for your system
    resources. Made video is time CPU and
    can sometimes cause blackouts.

  • Print to pdf in the same folder the original file

    Is possible to automate this process:

    1. any application, choose Save as pdf (print to PDF or print to a pdf printer).
    2. Save the file in the same folder the original file;
    3. set the password (no copy) this new file?

    Thank you.

    Gianluca.

    The original and the PDF files have different extensions, so they can be saved in the same folder.

    Regarding automation you might see if you can use Automator to do. Find it in your Applications folder.

    Did you restart the computer after you remove the .plist?

    Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  • Moving the library back to the original source files

    I am in final cut pro x and by mistake I was importing my media AND copy the files in the library instead of him reading from the original source.  I want to know if there is a way to go back and change it.  Thanks for any help.

    You can create a library and use the change settings of the Inspector to indicate the location outside the media library. Move the event / project (s) you want to have external support for the new library. Once you are convinced that events/projects in the new library are working, you can move events of origin to the trash. (Or yo can trash the entire library in the Finder).

    Hi andrewf91748828,

    I understand your concern, but it is by default in a particular location, you will need to manually, navigate to the location you want to save the file.

    He also recalled frequently saved areas which can be directly selected to save the file.

  • Can LR5 always create a Smart Collection or published a smart folder based on keywords?

    I have a smart Collection based on keywords imported LR4, but when you create a new Smart Collection or a published smart folder, the choice of "Key words" is missing from the context menu rules!

    Is this a bug?

    I am trying to create a smart folder that is published, but this question caught me.

    I think you can still do. If I correctly get what you're after: begin the process of creating the smart collection and when you see the settings dropdown to choose to create your collection, do scroll down to "Other metadata" click on it and you will see "Key words" it. I hope this helps

  • Change the search folder in a smart folder

    I have a lot of smart folders. All these smart folders have been defined, the search in a certain (i.e. filed) folder where I have all my files. I plan to move all my files to iCloud drive to an equivalent folder (which is archived). Is it possible to change all my smart folders to search in this new folder to avoid their creation from scratch again?

    You can create a symbolic link from your new folder archived at the same place the original file was.

    You will need to use the Terminal to create the link, but there may be third party GUI tools.

    In the Terminal, use cd to change your current working directory to the location of the old archived folder.

    Terminal opens in your home folder, so you can work from there. For example, if your archived file was in the Documents, use

    CD documents

    Once there, copy this leaving a space after him:

    ln s

    Then drag your archived file the iCloud drive on the Terminal window. It will finish the full path. Then just press return. Which will create the symbolic link by using the same name as the old.

    I tried with an Alias, but that has not worked. I had to use a symbolic link.
