When files are delivered to the Media Library and Archives we find that sometimes a user will have used special characters when naming them. Special characters include & :, ' / and can cause errors in the way we process the files.įor example, a slash / commonly used in writing a date means something different when a computer is processing a file named that way. In our digital preservation processes the computer would try and find a text file named “2016.txt” located in folders “4” and then “1”. It reads the slash as a change in the folder path. What the NameChanger application does is lets you replace characters across all the files you drag into a session window. ![]() See above, NameChanger actually reads the slash character as a colon. You just have to tell the application to take all the occurrences of : and replace them with _ or another character that won’t mess up your processing. It even lets you prepend or append things to your file names, which is also very handy if you are trying to clean up an entire hard drive of files. NameChanger is available for free on the MRR Software website, donations are encouraged.Several years back, a colleague of mine approached me to talk about cloud computing. I was a bit amused about the term he used – because I hadn’t heard about it before – and the idea that cloud computing will dramatically change the way we approach and do things in IT within the next years to come. But, because in my deepest inner self I’m a lazy guy □ – I really liked the idea of using ready-to-use services, pay only what I consume, highly automated and standardized, accessible from anywhere, and with minimum human intervention – sounds (until today) like heaven to me □Īnd so I jumped on the marketing wagon, became knowledgeable about cloud computing, promoted the cloud idea during a lot of marketing and partner events, internally in the company and of course during my one-to-one customer meetings. ![]() Why don’t they love this new approach, because it might help to solve a lot of their current issues? But, the initial enthusiasm quickly swapped into a “why doesn’t everybody immediately want this: frustration. When one starts to talk about cloud, one quickly realizes that depending on whom you speak to, cloud computing comes in different disguises, whether it’s IaaS, SaaS, public, private, and hybrid clouds, and others. I remember the feedback of a participant from an IBM Business Partner event several years ago. The name change process used to be time-consuming and complicated.Īfter eight cloud speeches during this event from various vendors and Business Partners, being asked at the end how they liked the event, one of the participants answered “I came here today with the idea that there are three to four distinct cloud models and now I understand that there must be at least nine or more – unfortunately I can’t recall anymore which these exactly are.” I personally don’t remember much from this event anymore, but this comment still is on my mind as if it was yesterday. There is a saying – “as you will name a ship so it will float.” And, cloud computing is floating! No IT magazine without at least one article about cloud. With our advanced form preparation software and guidance, changing your name is fast and easy. Choose Your State Ready to change your name Let's Get Started 1. Today, earlier adopters already have started to move towards cloud computing. Whoever first created this term and made it popular did an excellent job.īut, still there are a lot of companies hesitating to take this step. I strongly believe this hesitancy has to do with the still existing confusion around the term cloud computing and the fact that today almost every vendor is offering their solution as somehow cloud-washed. NameChanger is designed for the sole purpose of renaming a list of files. Subconsciously people are not willing to invest in something so vague such as cloud computing – they are waiting for something that is more concrete that helps to solve their business issues. ![]() To install just download the disk image, open it and drag the app to your Applications Folder.
