Re: Format for file names

 

Jerry -- That is really weird. I've never seen anything like that.

What browser are you using? Any add-ons that might affect this?

Bruce
Re: Format for file names

 

Good info, thanks.? I did not realize that you could edit a file name this way.? It does work on my setup.? But it would be burdensome if you had to change each file name after you uploaded the file, especially if you were uploading a bunch of files at one time.? I would think there is something in the group settings that might affect the way this is handled (I am the group owner), but if it's there I can't find it.

Hi

I just double-checked what I do and here's what I found.
On my Mac computer, it will show the suffix but only that.
However, I can edit the file name that is displayed after the file is uploaded. Click on the update icon beside the name and edit and click update, include taking out the .pdf or .pages

I don't know why it initially displays the full path when you do it though. Possibly your computer setup?

Robert -- It's okay if some have the display name and some do not.

Just note that any single entry [read: line] not conforming with either standard will throw an error and fail to be processed.

Re: Format for file names

 

Jerry, I would edit the names when I create the PDF. (Might be different with your OS.)
However, you can edit the names now - yes, tedious with so many, but doable.
Use the Update icon beside each file.

Frances
Reassurance please - is this in process?

 

I know that the organization is hammered with requests and I just want to be sure that I¡¯m in line to get processed. ?:)

My group (when looked at in the Easy Transfer section) says ¡°Awaiting Transfer¡± and if you click on it, the resulting web page says ¡°We are in process of transferring your group.¡± ? ?At this point I just sit and fidget, correct? ??

Re: Download message history

 

I believe the owner of the group can export the message history. But no one else has that privilege. I guess because you can do whatever you want with that message history. Personally, I like it this way annoying as it is.

Threading/Conversations

MALACHY OCONNOR
 

We currently have a Yahoo group with about 300 users. I setup a Groups.io group and added 10 users as a test. When using Reply to Group to reply to an email the content from other replies is removed. For those users with Threading or Conversations enabled this is OK. However for users without Threading or Conversations enabled they only see that reply which can be very confusing.?

What is the recommended procedure?

I've seen that and I agree it is a bug in Thunderbird. It's not related to groups.io though, so I think further investigative work would be best done offlist - especially given how much traffic there is on the list of late.

Best,

Glenn

Hi,

On 20 Oct 2019, at 15:29, Stinson Webmaster <webmaster@...> wrote:

Thanks Ben, is this script similar to what PG Offline application it is the script a tool to move that saved info into GIO?

I am not familiar with PG Offline. The script I mentioned basically downloads everything and gives you a folder structure like this:

groupname/
groupname/databases
groupname/email
groupname/files
groupname/photos
¡­

From that point it is up to you what to do with this. In the email directory, there are separate files for each message (plus their attachments), but there is no way to import this in the ?system. You could send each message again to the new group, but then all would be dated wrong, wrong sender (you) and it would be very hard or impossible to get the threads correct. So best would be to just upload all this to the files section I think.

thanks just trying to learn

Me too, last few days were busy. :)

When I upload a file to my group, instead of displaying just the file name, the file name includes the path all the way back to my C drive where the file is stored. It makes it hard to identify files in a list of files. Is this normal? How to fix?

It's supposed to just add the copied information and I haven't heard of problems with that.? Each imported group will create a bunch of new posts with consecutive numbers, but the original date order will be preserved.? Most folks don't pay much attention to post numbers, but if there are links to any in the original posts, they'll no longer point to the correct post (or even the correct site!).

Pablo,

I tried starting Thunderbird in Safe Mode, with all Add-ons disabled, but the behavior of the Reply links is unchanged. This tells me that Add-ons are not the cause of the problem. Thanks for letting me know that upgrading to TB 68.x does not solve the problem either. I'm in no hurry to move to that version in the midst of all the other chaos of transferring nine Yahoo! Groups to Groups.io.

Like Duane, I don't understand why one would think that the link would work with trimming and like Duane, I suggest in in Thunderbird (which I also use, version 60.9.0) that you do the mark and reply trick, as I have done here.

The Reply-to-Group link looks like this for this thread:
a target=3D"_blank" href=3D"mailto:[email protected]?subject===3DRe:%20Re%3A%20%5BGMF%5D%20Problem%20replying%20in%20Thunderbird%20using=%20message%20footer%20link%20%23reply-to-group">Reply To Group</a>
That's an HTML encoded mailto link, no different really from a mailto link one might find on a contact page on some website.

Importantly, it has to work with every Mail User Agent (MUA) that displays it, not just Thunderbird. Snipped responses are not, if I recall correctly, part of the IETF standard for MUAs, so that isn't how the mailto link behaves. In fact, I'm pretty sure the Gmail web UI doesn't support that.

In short, it doesn't work because it's not supposed to work that way.

Best,

Glenn

I am currently in the waiting line for my first group migration. (Sent out the [email protected]?invitation yesterday, nothing back yet. It¡¯s mega busy probably!) Once this groups has been successfully transferred I¡¯ll try the next one with the same destination and see what happens. :)
