• File navigation on OS x using openDlg() - why all the folders are grayed out?

  I am configuring a file and folder browsing dialog that works for the two Win/OSX and with filters to narrow the search to specific file types dialog box. I received a lot of help from another user on the forum (Matias Kiviniemi) in order to obtain the function of filter working - but now I have another problem: a little strange.

  When you browse the files under OSX, all the folders are greyed out!

  You can always navigate (somewhat) via the Favorites list and directory tree button at the top in the Center, but actually clicking in the records does not at all.
  
  

  I also tried saveDlg() to browse the files, but I have exactly the same problem with greyed out records. SaveDlg() is not the second parameter (the filter function) to restrict the dialogue to a specific file type - which is something that I need.

  // Utility functions for checking if the OS is Win/OSX
  function isWindows(){
      return app.systemInformation.indexOf("Operating System: Windows") >= 0
  }
  function isMac(){
      return app.systemInformation.indexOf("Operating System: Mac") >= 0
  }
  
  
  // All params below are strings
  function promptFile(dialogMessage, dialogType, extFilter, oldPath){
  // Description: Opens up a file or older dialog window for browsing (Win/OSX)
  // Returns: Absolute path (string) to the file or folder that was picked by the user
  
  
      // File
      if (dialogType == "file"){
  
  
          // Create filter function for the File.saveDlg -function
          var filter = null
          if (isMac()){ // OSX
              if (extFilter){
                  var filter_regex = new RegExp("[^\.]*\."+extFilter+"$")
                  filter = function (file_entry){
                      return filter_regex.test(file_entry.name)
                  }
              }else{
                  filter = function(){ return true } // All and any file(s)
              }
          }else if (isWindows()){ // Win
              if (extFilter){
                  filter = extFilter.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + extFilter.slice(1)+"-files:*."+extFilter
              }else{
                  filter = "All files:*.*" // All and any file(s)
              }
          }else{
              filter = null
          }
  
  
          // Create file dialog
          var path = new File(oldPath);
          // var dialog = path.saveDlg(dialogMessage, filter); // Same kind of error with saveDlg
          var dialog = path.openDlg(dialogMessage, filter, false);
  
  
      // Folder
      }else if(dialogType == "folder"){
          alert("folder diag:\n" + oldPath);
  
  
          // Create folder dialog
          var path = new Folder(oldPath);
          var dialog = path.selectDlg(dialogMessage);
          while (dialog.alias){
              dialog = dialog.resolve.selectDlg(dialogMessage);
          }
      }
  
  
      if (dialog){
          return dialog.fsName.replace(/\\/g, "/") // Back to Front slashes
      }
  }
  

  I'll cross post since my last response to the other crossed the moderation and released after you posted this (and it is relevant for this topic)

  There seems to be backup dialog boxes _SEVERAL_ versions

  • file_entry.saveDlg (): file_entry content is the default value, but do not know if he has locked her
  • File.saveDialog (): same as file_entry.saveDlg, but none value of screening. Maybe it is not locked to original dir
  • folder_entry.saveDlg (): looks identical to file_entry.saveDlg, do not know if there is a difference.
  • Folder.selectDialog: seems more versatile, "simply to choose a file.

  You probably just do some trial and error to choose one that fits, what are the rules everyone has. So far I think Mac has no option for "create a new file, but only this extension." Extension filter only seems to apply to existing opening and win (although even there, he hides just, you can actually set different extension in her typing).

  Confusion between the part which is the "grayed out of all cases" it would imply in fact wants the filter even though the docs say it is not. I.e. you'd need to do a filtering function that accepts two folders or files with right like below (not tested)

  filter = function (fileSystemEntry) {}

  If {(fileSystemEntry instanceof file)

  Returns true

  } else {}

  return filter_regex.test (fileSystemEntry.name)

  }

  }

• I have a folder of files in local folders that keeps reappearing after that I erase it. I tried to fix the folder several times. Any suggestions?

  I have a folder of files in local folders that keeps reappearing after that I erase it. I tried to fix the folder several times. Any suggestions?

  This is the name of a folder? Who will be in a file name in your file system. Given his situation, is it possible or likely that the total path length exceeds the limit of the operating system?

  For example: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/file-names-extensions-faq#1TC=windows-7

  This is not to talk about any other limit which may be inherent in the way that Thunderbird uses names of files internally.

  In your position, I explore the Thunderbird profile and check paths, as they appear in the file manager. You should be able to remove all folders that are unwanted here also.

  1.	Click Start and then click my computer .
  2.	On the Tools menu, click Folder Options .
  3.	On the view tab, find Advanced settings , and then follow these steps: one. Click Show hidden folders and files . b. Clear the Hide protected operating system files check box. c. Clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box.
  4.	Click OK , and then close the window. If the method above doesn't work for you, you can run your virus scan. Finally, some people have found a solution in this article: Show hidden files and folders not working not Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

• How can I move specific files according to date to a new drive and recreate the folders that they were originally in?

  I would like to take I have saved a search to sort by date and then move them to another drive and also preserve or recreate specific subfolders, in that they were originally of specific files. How do I do that? I found an and only a third party program which claims to work with the copy of the files and other. It is called "Copywhiz" but I don't think that it has this ability account required from what I've seen of him. I looked up information about the xcopy command, but his date setting allows only a specific date, not a date range. What is the best way to do it if possible? Otherwise I'll have to go through the TEDIOUS process of your time to copy all the folder and its subfolders to the other drive, looking all over again for a date range and delete these files and not in the range of dates, I want to be in the files in specific folders. I hope it is clear to you because I have no other way to explain. The specific details of the project are that I have a bunch of psd files in many subfolders based on the object. Of these files, I want those who are previous to the year 2009. I want to have the records that those displaced persons files were to be preserved in their new location. Essentially, I want to replicate the folder structure that only selected files to the new drive.

  I could get this link to work, so I downloaded from http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/RoboCopy-Download-87790.html.

  I tried it and it worked and it was relatively simple.  He did the directory and the structure of the subdirectories as well.

  In my view, is the command you would use in command prompt:

  ROBOCOPY sourcedirectory *.psd /E MINAGE:20081231 destinatiiondirectory

  I think that's all there is to it.  It worked for me when I did something similar with all .doc files in the My Documents folder.

  WOW!  It was fairly easy and well obviously the solution.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck.

• Windows Vista - where are the files (contacts and folders) to Windows Live Mail?

  I had to restore Windows Vista and the files that I backed up online.  Where are the files (contacts and folders) to Windows Live Mail?

  They are stored here. C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

• Within the last week, that all the folders and files on my hard drive were selected 'read only '.

  I unflagged all the folders and files that I share on my home network, however, I am not able to rename them or save them on my PC from my laptop on my wireless network. This has happened since May 12 and I suspect an auto update changed or recover from something.

  Running Vista Home Premium SP2 on PC

  Laptop is Windows 7

  Thanks for getting back to me Mick!

  I did a restore to 5/10 when I had no problem, but the problem persisted.

  I'll have to try Norton support. This may be something they did.

  In the meantime, I managed to change the names of files by connecting to the PC with the account of my wife who as co-owner had equal rights and the sign of the laptop is its ID as well so it worked, but it isn't always fair.

  Once again, thank you...

• Open the files in several folders and run

  Hello guys,.

  I have several files in several folders, I would like to know is it possible to automatically open the files in folders and execute action defined in PS.

  Example: I 1-folders12 (folder name will change regularly), I have 5 files in folder 1, 10 in folder2 and 7 in folder3,... and so on.

  I need a script to open the files one by one and perform the action to the PS and nearby, once all the files are processed in the Folder1, the script should search for folder2 and until the last folder. Is this possible? looking for consultant.

  

  This should be possible with just using Image Processor, which comes with the PS. Just check the box that says to all subfolders.

• How to change Windows Sync dividing the folders and files in alphabetical order

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  • Windows Sync has divided the folders and subfolders in alphabetical ranking. I want my old transparent back and stopped synchronization partnerships. The only way that I can temporarily return the old display windows is to change the name of the folder. How can I stop Windows automatically it? Recent changes to your computer. I work towards a date limit and cannot stop windows from doing this and can not find an answer.
  • I have tried going to the Sync Center, but impossible to find a solution. Even tried Sync delete but Windows does not allow this.

  Try turning off the center of synchronization to run at startup as follows: http://www.vista4beginners.com/Disable-Sync-Center.  In my opinion, who will take care of the problem.

  I hope this helps.

• Could someone tell me how to stop the folders and icons rearrange themselves

  Before I updated to El Capitan I could arrange the files on my desktop or in any folder in the finder, in order that, I opened I wanted and they would REMAIN THAT of the WAY. Now, folders and icons in the folders reorganize themselves, usually in alphabetical order, each time that I add, delete, or move something in a folder. This causes a serious pain for me and make my extremely inefficient workflow.

  I managed to stop the folders on my desk of reorganization by going to view > options > sort by selecting: None (thanks Mac forum) and I can do this in a folder if I want to rearrange things myself, but I seem to need to do this individually for every single folder and there is no guarantee that the next time I turn on my computer it will be always in that order. El Capitan before I could move my files manually on my desk and in a folder and if things got a little messy, or I wanted to start, I simply chose sort > by name and everything would be perfectly back to alphabetical, as a grid, on the right side of my screen, or in a grid at the top of a file. AND... If I wanted to manually move a folder or icon after sorting by name, I could still do it, without having to go to tri: No. Now, if I say sort: None, which seems to be the only way to manually sort the icons or folders, all of a sudden my own grid of files are everywhere in my office or mixed into a folder, unlike before where they would simply stay in a grid in alphabetical order, making it much easier to find things when manually reorganize. In my workflow, I need to be able to fix things and make them stay there, then, how do it works as before. Is could someone please tell me if there is a simple way to get things to work like they used to, when the only time where my files or icons arranged themselves was when I SAID to THEM, keeping in mind I'm not that computer, so if it's code, or go beyond the preferences or settings , you've lost me.

  Click on the desktop, command J > sort by none

  

• Folder pane issue related to the folders that I created, compared with the default Inbox, sent, junk, and trash

  I have a bunch of folders and subfolders, I created for various projects, but I don't always want to see them. (that is, I want to "collapse", while most of the time - I just see the Inbox, sent, spam and trash folders.)

  The only option I see is the equivalent of a power switch - that is to say, file view/page/component layout, or no record.

  If you uncheck the folders pane, you lose the Inbox, sent, spam and trash folders.

  If you check the option part of file, regain you your visibility of the Inbox, sent, junk mail and folders trash... but you also see the bunch of files again.

  Is there an option in-between - where I can see (again) the Inbox, sent, junk, and trash folders - but only see a collapse (as in 1 folder that says something like "folders") - without having to create such a file and paste the slew of my other folders in the folder manually created?

  The only suggestion that I would have to choose the name of the account, not the Inbox but the name of the main account.
  Right-click on the account name, and then select new folder.
  Name the project or something that makes sense to you.
  Now right-click in project and select new subfolder.
  The name of the subfolder.
  Repeat if necessary.
  There will be a pointer next to the projects folder where you can expand or collapse the tree of project files.
  This will only add an extra folder, projects, when the project tree is reduced.

• Thunderbird won't let me delete the folders "Important" and "all messages".
