Has anyone ever handled a drag drop of emails from thunderbird? any references links code?
I want to be able to drag emails from thunderbird to my application?
It looks like it isn't possible. Although I can't seem to find any actual documentation, here is what my experimentation has found so far.
Thunderbird provides drop data with the following MIME types, when tested against an IMAP server:
text/x-moz-message - UTF-16 encoded URL that looks like imap-message://user#server/FOLDER#ID
text/x-moz-url - UTF-16 encoded URL that looks like imap://user#server:port/fetch%3EUID%3E/FOLDER%3EID
text/uri-list - ASCII (?) URL that looks like imap://user#host:port/fetch%3EUID%3E/FOLDER%3EID"
_NETSCAPE_URL - ASCII (?) URL that looks like imap://user#host:port/fetch%3EUID%3E/FOLDER%3EID
application/x-moz-file-promise-url - UTF-16 encoded URL that looks like imap://user#host:port/fetch%3EUID%3E/FOLDER%3EID?fileName=SUBJECT.eml
application/x-moz-file-promise - Empty
The relevant Thunderbird code is here, but AFAICS it is not finished... What I did was writing a Thunderbird extension that overrides the draggesture event of #threadTree treechildren and calls a slightly modified version of ThreadPaneOnDragStart that writes the dragged message somewhere inside the temp directory (using SaveMessageToDisk), returning the file name as application/x-moz-file-promise (or whatever you'd like to catch inside your application).
This has two drawbacks. since the file is created when dragging starts and not when it ends:
you could end up with pointless files inside the temp directory, if the user aborts the DND operation
if the message being dragged is large, the user could experience some lag

I am trying to create a program to automatically download the attached files that are sent to us from a certain email and then transform the delimiter with SAS, of those csv that are attached to us and pass those csv through a flow that I have already created.
I have managed to create a program that treats the csv as I want and the delimiter that I want, the problem is that when it comes to automating the download of files from Outlook it does not work.
What I have done is create a rule with the following VB code that I found on the internet:
Public Sub SaveAttachmentsToDisk(MItem As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim sSaveFolder As String
sSaveFolder = "C:\Users\ES010246\Desktop"
For Each oAttachment In MItem.Attachments
oAttachment.SaveAsFile sSaveFolder & oAttachment.DisplayName
Next
End Sub
I have changed the path to my personal path where i want the files are downloaded.
website: https://es.extendoffice.com/documents/outlook/3747-outlook
The problem is that this code does not work for me, it does absolutely nothing for me and no matter how much I search the internet, only this code appears.
Is there any other way to do with SAS what I want? What is it to automatically download 8 csv files sent to me by Outlook, or has someone experienced the same thing as me with VBA?
I have followed all the steps about 7 times so I think the error is not in copying the code or selecting certain options wrong, in fact I had copied and pasted the code and later I modified the path where I wanted those to be saved. files but it doesn't work, does anyone know why?
I will be tremendously grateful, thank you very much for everything!
First of all, you need to make sure the file name and path doesn't include forbidden symbols.
The VBA macro used for a rule in Outlook is absolutely valid except that a mail item may contain the attached files with the same name, so a file saved to the disk may be overwritten (saved with the same name). That's why I'd suggest generating a file name with your own unique IDs making sure that DisplayName property is not empty and has a valid name what can be used for file names (exclude forbidden symbols).
Also you may consider handling the NewMailEx event of the Application class which is fired when a new message arrives in the Inbox and before client rule processing occurs. Use the Entry ID returned in the EntryIDCollection string to call the NameSpace.GetItemFromID method and process the item. This event fires once for every received item that is processed by Microsoft Outlook. The item can be one of several different item types, for example, MailItem, MeetingItem, or SharingItem.
The Items.ItemAdd event can be helpful when items are moved to a folder (from Inbox). This event does not run when a large number of items are added to the folder at once.
I have a filepicker.io instance where I am using the pickAndStore function to allow users to upload various files, however while testing Microsoft Visio I found the files are being blocked / denied upload by a yellow error that states it does not register as an accepted file type (and lists out all the files it believes are allowed)?
In my logs of the arguments sent to the function, I can see the full array of file types I allow and the 4 variants of visio I added are clearly there:
The four I added:
".vss", ".vssx", ".vsd", ".vsdx"
Full array:
[".doc", ".dot", ".docx", ".docm", ".dotx", ".xls", ".xlt", ".xlsx", ".xltx", ".xlsm", ".xlsb", ".oft", ".msg", ".ppt", ".pptx", ".pptm", ".pps", ".ppsx", ".mpp", ".pub", ".pdf", ".html", ".mhtml", ".txt", ".rtf", ".csv", ".xml", ".css", ".zip", ".tar", ".rar", ".vss", ".vssx", ".vsd", ".vsdx", ".mp3", ".wav", ".swf", ".ics", ".srt", ".wmf", ".eps", ".ai", ".psd", ".gif", ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".bmp", ".m4v", ".mp4", ".flv", ".f4v", ".mov", ".wmv", ".wm", ".webm", ".3gp", ".3gpp", ".m2p", ".rv", ".rm", ".avi", ".3gp2", ".mpg", ".mpeg", ".ts", ".vp6", ".h264", ".arf", ".wrf", ".m2ts"]
However When I use "My Computer" as a source and upload any one of the twenty odd .vsd files I have to use as tests, all of them trigger the error to appear and deny upload:
The image i am seeing saying that .vsd does not register
I'm not sure what else I can do at this point to fix? I don't particularly want to have to use mimetype in this one instance as it suggests not to use this along side extension in the filepicker documentation.
Here is the link i used that provides various Visio files you can use to test. I would rather not use the files clients upload using our platform as I would need to ask permission and in case they are sensitive. I don't think there has been a single successful upload (of a visio file, others are fine) so I would be surprised if it was file specific.

Thanks!
All extensions are converted back to mimetype therefor you can't mixed extension & mimetype.
It appears that ".vss", ".vssx", ".vsd", ".vsdx" are in the database.
Could you post some of the files you are testing so we can check them ourselves.

Filepicker needs to include "application/vnd.ms-visio.viewer" in the mapping from those file extensions. It looks like that's what the browser is reporting the MIME type for those files to be.
This might be a question that may not be answered due to the nature of the external tool I am using (lack of documentation).
Basically, I am using a tool that pushes and pulls messages from the queue, more precisely - it pushes and pulls files. It worked perfectly for text files but when I tried pushing and then pulling a binary file - the pulled one was corrupted, it's size increased in comparsion with the original file (1.33 ratio).
For example moving a zip file wouldn't work...
I suppose it has something to do with the tools configuration, the only settings that can be changed regarding the problem are CCSID and encoding (UTF-8, Base16, etc.), I tried playing with both, unfortunately without success.
Tried using the following CCSIDs: 65535, 1208, 819
and encodings : UTF-8, Base16, Base64
In every case the binary file was corrupted after pulling it from the queue, I'm not entirely sure how the tool acomplishes that, it's written in Java, also I'm new to MQ so I tried searching for the correct options in IBM's docs but I haven't found anything that makes more sense than 65535 and Base16, yet it still doesn't work, could anyone with more experience with MQ tell if playing with these options makes sense at all in this case and if so - suggest what CCSID and encoding can I try to accomplish what Ive described above?
More information is really needed, but my suspicion is you are putting the message on the queue as a text message and playing around with encodings and ccsid's to try to get it right. You really need to know how the 'Java' app achieves this - is it using JMS (eg JMSBytesMessage) or base Java (something like setMessageData).
At a high level, there is a header on a message (The MD) which 'describes' the data - the MD format field. If you say the data is a string then MQ can convert between codepages should the getter request it etc. Put a tiny binary file into a message onto a queue, and browse the queue with amqsbcg or the GUI - what are the MD fields for format? What headers are on the payload - anything like RFH2's?
Put the same code in to give us a clue, or at least the amqsbcg output
I'm seeing some very strange behavior with FileMaker 14. I'm using LayoutObjectNames for some required functionality. On the development system it's working fine. It returns the list of named objects on the layout.
I close the file, zip it up and send it to the client, and that required functionality isn't working. He sends the file back and I open it and get a data viewer up. The function returns nothing. I go into layout mode and confirm that there are named objects on the layout.
The first time this happened and I tried recovering the file. In the recovered file it worked, so I assumed some corruption had happened on his end. I told him to trash the file I had given him and work with a new version I supplied. The problem came up again.
This morning he sent me the oldest version that the problem manifested in. I confirmed the problem, tried recovering it again, but this time it didn't fix the problem.
I'm at a loss. It works in the version I send him, doesn't on his system. We're both using FileMaker 14, although I'm using Advanced. My next step will be to work from a served file instead of a local one, but I have never seen this type of behavior in FileMaker. Has anyone seen anything similar? Any ideas on a fix? I'm almost ready to just scrap the file and build it again from scratch since we're not too far into the project.
Thanks, Chuck
There is a known issue with the Get (FileName) function when the file name contains dots (other that the one before the extension). I will amend my answer later with more details and a possible solution (I have to look it up).
Here's a quote from 2008:
This is a known issue. It affects not only the ValueListItems()
function, but any function that requires the file name. The solution
is to include the file extension explicitly in the file name. This
works even if you use Get (FileName) to return the file name
dynamically:
ValueListItems ( Get ( FileName ) & ".fp7" ; "MyValueList" )
Of course, this is not required if you take care not to use period
when naming your files.

Apparently the issue is still with us - I wonder if the solution is still the same (I cannot test this at the moment).
I am working on migrating posts from the RightNow infrastructure to another service called ZenDesk. I noticed that whenever users added files or even URL links, when I pull the xml data from RightNow it gives me a lot of weird codes like this:
{s:3:""url"";s:45:""/files/56f5be6c1/MUG_presso.pdf"";s:4:""name"";s:27:""MUG presso.pdf"";s:4:""size"";s:5:""2.1MB"";}
It wasn't too hard to write something that parses them and makes normal urls and links, but I was just wondering if this is something specific to the RightNow service, or if it is a tag system that is used. I tried googling for this but am getting some weird results so, thought stack overflow might have someone who has run into this one.
So, anyone know what these {s ;} tags are called and if there are any particular tools to use to read them?
Any answers appreciated!
This resembles partial PHP serialized data, as returned by the serialize() call. It looks like someone may have turned each " into "", which could prevent it from parsing properly. If it's wrapped with text like this before the {s: section, it's almost definitely PHP.
a:6:{i:1;a:10:{s:
These letters/numbers mean things like "an array with six elements follows", "a string of length 20 follows", etc.
You can use any PHP instance with unserialize() to handle the data. If those double-quotes are indeed returned by the API, you might need to replace :"" and ""; with " before parsing.
Parsing modules exist for other languages like Python. You can find more information in this answer.
