I'm trying to develop a thunderbird extension and i need to create a message folder in folder pane where to move some messages.Can anyone help me how to create that folder.
This Page helped me a lot. Check the chapter "Creating Folders".
It says something like this:
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/FileUtils.jsm");
var folder = FileUtils.getDir("ProfD", ["FolderName"], true);
You can replace "ProfD" with another string (more strings).

How do you go about creating files at arbitrary locations given you have the absolute path? I want to create a file in some arbitrary location /Users/me/random/project3/<moreStuffInThePath. How would I go about doing this?
To create a directory I would do:
try FileManager.default.createDirectory(atPath: "/Users/me/random/project3/<directoryName>"
This worked fine for directories.
However the counterpart for creating files does not work:
FileManager.default.createFile(atPath: "Users/me/random/project3/something.txt", contents: someString.data(using: .utf8)) // always returns false
I have checked out other stack overflow threads on creating files. Everything I found was about creating files in the .documentDirectory or it was outdated.
Eg: How to create text file for writing
Create empty file swift
Read and write a String from text file
TLDR: How do I create text files/files with random extensions at arbitrary locations on the pc given I have the absolute path?
I would also be grateful if someone could explain why all tutorials available on this matter are about the document directory. Why is it so significant?
Thank you!
This is most likely because your app is sandboxed.
Go to your project settings, select the macOS target and go to "Signing and Capabilities". You should see something like this:
If your app needs to create files in arbitrary locations, you must remove the app sandbox by clicking on the "x" on the top right. Note that this will cause your app to be rejected from the Mac App Store.
If you want to upload your app to the Mac App Store, then you must keep the sandbox, and write to "user selected locations" only. Select "Read/Write" rather than "Read Only" next to "User Selected File". (Although it says "File", this includes directories too) This allows you to write to locations chosen by a user using something like an NSSavePanel.
In my netbeans IDE I am creating one project.That project(Web Application) needs properties file.Since my application is having several packages.And all packages need to read this properties file in their code.So where should I place this java properties file.If I place the file out side of the packages that is under sourcepackages seperately,I am getting FilenotFound Exception.So where should I place it.
And one more doubt is if I want to change any content in the file in future where should I change the contents since it is present in Projects folder and under Files->build->classes folder also.From where should I modify it.From where the changes will be effected.
Please help.
Thank you.
Put your file under /src/resources/, then use it like below:
ResourceBundle props = ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources.config");
You may put this in any package. The point ist to read with
MyClass.getResourceAsStream("my.properties");
Read further here.
You always change in the project src folder. The build folder is only for building your app.
If you want to change the properties file on a deployed system you may put the properties into the WEB-INF folder and then access with ServletContext#getRealPath().
I put the .properties file in the same folder as the src and it works :)
Alright, so I'm working on Windows and here's my solution...
It actually doesn't matter much where you put the .properties file--but assuming you created the file in NetBeans and let it save to its default location, you can simply call the data with the full directory attached.
Just for reference, here's what I did:
SimpleDataSource sds = new SimpleDataSource("src\\simpledatasource\\mystuff.properties");
Notice you'll need to escape the backslash, so use two of them.
Its really hard to find a tutorial to do this as most information relates to Xcode 3. Answer below may help some people.
I sourced most of my information for the answer below from the following sites:
http://meandmark.com/blog/2011/12/creating-custom-xcode-4-project-templates/
http://www.bobmccune.com/2012/03/04/creating-custom-xcode-4-file-templates/
I spent hours searching the web to find information about doing this. Its not actually that hard to set up project templates for Xcode4.5 but its hard to find information on the web that puts it all together! Hopefully the steps below will help you to create your own.
Setting Up
Lets start by getting a copy of an existing Xcode project template to use as a base. Open finder, go to Applications and right click on Xcode to show package contents. Navigate to Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/Project Templates/Application/
[EDIT]
In Xcode 5 the PATH is as follows: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/Application/Project Templates. If Templates/Application/Project Templates not exists you should create it too. Credit to seufagner in the comments below for the update although I have not tried this myself.
[/EDIT]
Copy (do not cut/paste!) one of the listed templates.
Open another finder window and navigate to the following directory (to unhide your Library folder type this cmd in terminal: chflags nohidden ~/Library/ or select press the alt/option key when clicking on Finder/Go) /Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates (you may need to create this folder if not already present) /Project Templates/
Create a folder in here. Call it whatever you wish, a suggestion is your company name. This name appears in the left hand menu of the new project dialogue in Xcode. e.g. in the attached image I've called mine Appscore, there's another one there for cocoas2d.
Paste the project template in here and change its folder name to whatever you wish e.g. MySuperProjectTemplate.xctemplate. We are not done yet though as we need to change the template's identifier. Otherwise it will not appear in the Xcode new project dialogue window.
Open the TemplateInfo.plist file in TextEdit. Search for the Identifier key. You should see a string value something similar to "com.apple.dt.unit.XXXXXX". Replace this with whatever you wish as long as its unique. I again suggest adding your company name and a name that describes the template.
If you now open Xcode you should see the project template appearing under your company name in the new project dialogue.
Customising
At the moment you have a copy of an existing project template which is not very useful. I'm guessing you have a number of classes that get reused in nearly all your projects? How about we include them into this template?
Copy the files you wish, and paste them into your new project template i.e. navigate to /Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/Project Templates//MySuperProjectTemplate.xctemplate/
Open the TemplateInfo.plist file in TextEdit again. First thing we have to do is tell the project template to include the new files so search for a key called "Nodes" that has an array of values. Add the two following lines:
<string>_VARIABLE_classPrefix:identifier_.h</string>
<string>_VARIABLE_classPrefix:identifier_.m</string>
For example if your controller was called BaseViewController the lines would look like:
<string>___VARIABLE_classPrefix:identifier___BaseViewController.h</string> <string>___VARIABLE_classPrefix:identifier___BaseViewController.m</string>
Next find the Definitions key and you should see a dictionary as its value. In here we have to add a reference to the included files. Create a new key and call it ___VARIABLE_classPrefix:identifier___BaseViewController.h (again taking the BaseViewController as an example).
The value of this key is again a dictionary. It contains a key called Path and a string value which is the name of the file e.g. BaseViewController.h
I've attached the following images to show what I mean as I think my description is falling short. You may notice that there is a key in there called "Group", this as you can guess allows you to create groups and input files directly :D
Hope this is actually useful to someone :) Any questions comment below and I'l do my best to answer. I did this a few weeks ago so my memory is a little hazy.
You can also learn a lot from inspecting the existing project templates, which you can find in:
/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/Project Templates/
for Mac and
/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/Project Templates/
for iOS.
There are few sample templates also on GitHub by Reid Main and another one by Acani. There are also AFNetworking templates, created by Mattt Thompson. See all the examples, including ones built by Apple and then you can start creating your own.
A good overview of all of the variables used in the plist file can be found here: https://gist.github.com/shazron/943736

Your answer is really very much help full but I want to add some more things in your answer.
When we copy xcode predefine template than this key contains
<key>Ancestors</key>
<array>
<string>com.apple.dt.unit.storyboardApplication</string>
</array>
this value. When we use this key value in Custom template of xcode it will create AppDelegate class by default. Which we can not move to folder only we can shift it into group.
So i suggest to add this:
<key>Ancestors</key>
<array>
<string>com.apple.dt.unit.objectiveCApplication</string>
<string>com.apple.dt.unit.iPhoneBase</string>
<string>com.apple.dt.unit.prefixable</string>
</array>
value in Custom template so that we will have fully empty template in which we can do any custom stuff.
I know that you can create an xml file detailing the contents when you create a package, but is there an easy way to determine what is in a package when it is just a zip file sitting on a file server or something?
This is in version 6.2.
Yes you can. Open the Package Designer on the server where the zip is. In the New menu click the dropdown and select "From Existing." From here pick the package and it will open in the designer.
Here's a blog post visually showing you the idea: Inspecting Sitecore Packages Before You Install Them
You can open a package with any archive editor (for instance, 7zip). The main ZIP contains another ZIP, called package.zip. The package.zip in its turn contains a number of folder. The most interesting to you are probably:
files
items
security
The contents of /files folder corresponds to the file system structure under the website root. For instance:
/App_Config/Include/my.config
/bin/my.dll
/xsl/my.xsl
The contents of the /items folder is a directory structure. The path to an XML representation of each item starts with the folder named like the database holding the item, then down the path of the item in the content tree (starting from /sitecore), then the ID of the item, next the language, and finally the version. For instance:
\items\core\sitecore\layout\Layouts\my layout{GUID-GOES-HERE}\en\1\xml
"xml" is the name of the XML file containing the item data.
The contents of /security folder is simpler:
\security\roles\sitecore\My Power Users
There are other folders inside the package.zip, but those primarily hold the metadata of the package, like readme, license, etc.
I suppose it's a superfluous warning, but still: don't try to edit anything there. It makes sense for a quick look only to make sure something is or is not in the package.
Hope this helps.
I am to create a new design (CSS & HTML) for a web site which is created using Interwoven ContentCenter Professional.
Now, I can see the existing files in CMS (Interwoven) but, I can't make changes. My changes are displayed only when I'm in edit mode. Nothing in the live page. I tried to submit, create editions of files but still no good.
How should I create or edit pages in Interwoven CMS?
Thanks.
If you're talking about generic pages, then once you are finished you have to click on the Generate option, then choose a directory and click Finish. Last thing you should do is to choose yeswhen it asks you to Re-generate the page.
What you are trying to do is just creating a new file, not generating a file from TeamSite's Formpublisher. It is just like if you are in Windows Explorer and creating a new file. In order to generate a file from a form entry, you need to be in the templatedata directory, ex: /default/main/branch1/WORKAREA/wa1/templatedata/category/type(on unix) or Y:/default/main/branch1/WORKAREA/wa1/templatedata/category/type (on Windows). There should be a file call datacapture.cfg there. There is another directory called data under the above path which stores your data content record (dcr) that are created from the form. This is the file that you can use to generate which will use the (tpl) file under the presentation directory.
