How to open a program and import multiple files? - automation

I use a program which accepts only a single file. I can either click File->Import from Menu or Ctrl+I to upload a file. Then, a windows pops up to choose my choice of file. I need to change the data type to Import so that I can see all files. Double-clicking on a file, I am back to my program and see some outputs, analysis report and plots. I click on 'Graph' tab and in there I click on export graph. Then, a windows pops up and I need to click on save to save the graph.
My Expectation is to export such plots for hundreds of different files from same path. How should I perform this?

sql Developer pkg AND trg FILES

taking a SQL class and using sql developer. How do I create a file with extensions .pkg and .trg. I know they are for package and triggers. When I opened my connection and right clicked package I opened a package but it did not create an actual file that I would be able to submit?
Any ideas?
There are various options for saving your code to a file:
Right click on the object in the connections tree and choose Quick DDL -> Save to File. This will save the file with a .sql extension which you can later change as desired from the file system.
Open the object from the connections tree, then choose File -> Save As. This method defaults to saving files with a .pls extension, but you can override that when saving or change it later from the file system.
Drag the objects from the Connections tree to the shopping Cart (View->Cart) then Click the Export Cart button (DB icon with a green arrow) and choose the Save As Separate Files option. The files will be saved with .sql extensions, and for table objects it can optionally export the data as well.

Edit .blend file's Text only

http://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/73614
I have downloaded this and want to use my own text on it using Blender (or another program). It is not used for commercial purpose. When I open it, I get no option to edit text. I tried edit external and GIMP which failed.
the .blend file is binary and can only be opened inside of Blender, When you create text objects they are displayed as objects inside blender. You should be able to find the object by using the object browser section inside blender and changing it there. You may have to recreate the text object depending on how the author did the original.

How do I hyperlink from a PDF file to a specific page in a PPT file

I have a PowerPoint 2010 file saved as a PowerPoint Macro-enabled show (.ppsm) file. I have a hyperlink on a particular page of the PPSM and I've linked it to a PDF file. Great, it all works.
Now I need to put a hyperlink in the PDF file that will jump me back to the specific page in the PPSM, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. The information in another thread says to add "#15" (the page number) to the filename, but the link seems to put the entire file path. I also get an error that this is not a valid file name. I want to be able to just store the files together in the same directory and have them find each other with the file name, not the whole path.
All assistance gratefully accepted.
If you're running the slide show and link to a PDF file, the show is still running and sitting on the slide you linked from.
All you need to add to the PDF is a link that closes the PDF or possibly quits Acrobat/Reader altogether.
Open the PDF in Acrobat, add a link, choose Custom Link, click Next.
In Link Properties dialog box, go to the Actions tab
Select Action: Execute a menu item.
Click Add to get a list of available menu items, choose File, Close
or File, Exit.
If you need to return to some other page than the one you started on in PPT, it gets a bit trickier.

How to show PSDs online without letting others download it?

I have around 20 PSDs which I need to show to a few programmers. Is it possible to upload them somewhere where they can view them but not download?
Or only option is to convert all of them to JPGs one by one?
Thanks
You can use google docs to view .psd online. Upload it to docs.google.com, select the file to view, then before sharing click "File" and toggle "Prevent viewers from downloading"
Use Photoshop actions to batch convert many psd's to jpgs and upload the jpg's. If you fear that they can misuse jpg's too, add a watermark over your jpg images.
Pipeline to do this could be:
Window -> Actions
Open your PSD file
click, in Actions window, on the button in lower right corner "create new action"
Name your action
Click Record
Your actions are now being recorded.
Layer->Flatten image (take care now - not to accidentaly save your PSD as flattened!)
If it is an cmyk, convert it to rgb,if it has bleed, crop off the bleed part
Resize your image if needed image -> image resize
File -> save as...JPG
Close image
Stop recording action.
Now you can run that action on whole folder where your PSD-s resides:
File -> automate -> Batch
Choose your action, and chose your folder.
Choose your source folder... twaeak a little... and magic will start to happen!

How do you print and export when using Dundas charts in VB or C#

I'm using Dundas Chart Profession within my VB program to generate a chart based on my data. Right now I have my charts opening fine but I am unsure how to add the functionality to let the user choose to print (and export) the chart once the program is running.
I didn't figure out how to export the chart but I have figured out how to print and save it.
To print:
To print the chart I found the solution here. This is on the Dundas Data Visualization Components Support page labeled under "Customizing the size of printed chart". Also in case you are wondering how they got the PrintDocument, like me, it is located under System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument.
To save:
To save all you have to have is
ChartName.SaveAsImage("pathwayAndFileName.png", ChartImageFormat.Png)
Where ChartImageFormat is under Dundas.Charting.WinControl and png can be any extension under Dundas.Charting.WinControl.ChartImageFormat. Of course this ran into having to know the filename and pathway that the user wants to use so I researched how to do the dialog for saving, built in, as I didn't want to recreate it myself. I found the SaveFiledialog under System.Windows.Forms where they also have open, load, and print. Of course I already had the other print.
To set the initial directory it uses is
dialogName.InitialDirectory = Application.StartupPath
Then open it with ShowDialog
