I am using ZebraDesigner to create labels and save them as .zpl, files, then manually editing the zpl code to customize it further, and then save it in the printer's directory in onboard flash memory.
I see the .zpl files, listed with their sizes, in the flash directory, but the files are blank when opened, or sometimes contain text belonging to another file. If I try to paste new code into the file in flash, I'm unable to save it; meaning, I click save, and the web pages merely changes the file extension from ".zpl" to "---", then if I save again, then I get an error the script could not be saved.
I've been unable to get sufficient information nor resolution by contacting Zebra or looking at the product documentation. Advice would be appreciated.

I'm implementing a WebDAV file server using the ITHit WebDave engine, i have the following problem
When i list the files and open one of them i get the ReadAsync method called, i provide the content and the file is opened correctly
However any changes i make to the file can't be saved, i get an error saying
A device attached to the system is not working
I looked at the file system samples and implemented support based on the FileSystemStorage.AspNetCore sample,
From what can understand the WriteAsync method is used when creating new files, should i expect for WriteAsync to also be called for file edits that need to be changed?
Am i wrong in the assumption that DavFile.WriteAsync will be called with a stream for the updated content?
If WriteAsync is not the right location to save updates to a file, could you provide some guidance on the process of saving changes to existing files?
Edited to add:
Now i can see that after i dismiss the first error about the device not working i get the standard save dialog box, if i click save it asks me if i want to overwrite the existing file, after accepting to overwrite then WriteAsync is called and i can update the file contents
I'm not quite sure why it would first tell me there's an error and then still allow me to write the file but only as replacement to the original file
Thanks for your help
Fixed, i found that there were issues with the ILockAsync implementation, reviewing the FileSystemStorage sample helped fix the issue with locking files before writing or updating properties
I'm putting together an installation using Processing, where users type and their text is printed on a receipt printer.
I've got Processing saving out time-stamped text files to a folder, and a folder action in Automator watching that folder and sending to print.
My problem is that these .txt files need some intervention...
Format > Wrap to page
Change margins
Select 80mm receipt roll in Page Setup
I think I have the margins thing figured out by adding some code to the file header on the Processing side. With the rest, I'm drawing a complete blank.
I've tried setting the receipt roll as the default page size in 'Print and scan' in system prefs, but the receipt page size doesn't show in the list in system prefs, only shows on the page size list from within Text Edit application.
I suppose what I'm asking - is there a way of setting TextEdit's default to page wrap, certain page size, certain printer - then a folder action can just print away (I hope).
The idea is that these text files spit out of the receipt printer automatically with no intervention. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Have you experimented with the settings available for TextEdit in AppleScript? If you look under the print settings section (in TextEdit's Script dictionary), there are a number of options available, which may help you achieve something pretty close to what you want. You could then drop the AppleScript into a Run AppleScript action in your Automator folder action.
Alternatively, you could go completely nuts and design a template in Pages that meets your criteria, and then extract your text, paste into your Pages template, and print that out. A whole lot more work, but once it became functional, you would only need to change the Pages template in the future to meet changing needs.
I'm building a Reporting web application right now with MVC3 and I've come up to a couple problems.
My goal is to have it able to generate and view Crystal Reports, SSRS reports, and Excel documents.
Right now I'm working on the Excel segment and I'm running into more trouble than I thought I would. First off, when I link directly to the file, it either opens inside the browser or it downloads it from the server and if the user makes changes it doesn't actually save it to the true file on the server.
I've tried both linking to the file directly using Razor and a ViewModel with the path to the document as well as directing it to an action that returned a File.
I've also tried linking it to a shortcut to the actual file thinking that if I could open the shortcut it would open the file the way I wanted it to and unfortunately it didn't really open at all.
The users already have access to the files on the server through a network drive, so as of right now they can go into the server, open the excel document, edit and save it no problem. I want to duplicate this effect through a link. The program already has a file browser built, so I can browse between the files and make links to the reports.
Thanks in advance!
Since they are apparently on a network drive, you can just link to the files directly, relative to the user?
For example: a link to file://///SERVERNAME/folder/
I tested it between two computers on the network, and that seems to work. However, you still get a popup asking that you want to do with the file, open or save. (both in firefox and IE)
Note: Yes, that many slashes seem necessary, lol
I'm having trouble working on FileReference download(URL) function. I needed to automatically download the files in a particular space on my harddisk but the SAVE AS dialog always displays. can I make it automatically download in a certain place on my disk?
I'm going to assume "automatically download" means "save" here. Nope, If you use FileReference (or File in AIR), there's no way to automatically save without showing the Save As dialog box.
If you don't need to access the file outside of the app, then take a look at the SharedObject class: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/SharedObject.html. By default you can create SharedObjects of up to 100KB without needing the client's permission (see the description of getLocal()), which should be fine for more simple text or xml info - you can compress it using ByteArray if you want to save space. Any more than that and a small dialog will open asking permission. Once you've given permission however, it won't ask again.
I am working as a Software developer for Mobile Applications. I am developing an application in which i want to retrieve the contents of the .doc files that arrive on the Blackberry mobile as an Email Attachment Part. Whenever i am retrieving the contents of the .txt files, the code written for the mobile is retrieving the accurate contents but in case of .doc files, it is displaying a lot of junk material in the header and footer of the actual contents.
So, my problem is that how can i get rid of this additional junk material as i want to retrieve only the actual contents of the .doc files. Please reply
Thanks
You can get the specifications of the doc-Format from Microsoft. Though, I don't know if they're complete or even useful. Another guess would be to have a look at Projects which have implemented it, like OpenOffice.org.
