I'm trying to use MCK(map comparison kit) but all I have right now is ArcMap file. According to the MCK user manual, it says MCK supports log file. So I tried to convert ArcMap to log file by renaming to ".log", but MCK shows that it is an empty log file.
So i was wondering what is the way to correctly convert ArcMap file to log file? Thanks!
This might be a bit late, but just in case:
I assume you have a Arc ASCII file, which is one of the file formats MCK supports. You can't simply convert ASCII file into log file, since log file only contains pointers to raster images of a certain theme. ASCII file contains much more, like headers and the actual data.
You can create a new log file in MCK by choosing New from the File menu in the Menu bar. This opens the Log File Editor, and there you can specify the contents of the log-file with an easy UI. There is an Import button, which allows you to import the ASCII files. If you have downloaded the MCK software, just see the User Guide that comes with it. It has the whole Log File Editor explained!

I am trying to edit some portable executable file with text editor.
In the top of the file a backward compatibility string is supposed to display messages on DOS systems.
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.(click the link to see screenshot)
I first tried to edit this string by replacing a char (not removing or adding : just replacing to not change the file size). Then when I try to execute the file windows return an error saying I can't run this app on my computer.
I also tried to edit the padding at the very end of the file and the error is the same.
I suppose an integrity check is performed. Did someone already read about this? If you did, do you know if/where the file hash is stored in it?
A text editor is not appropriate for editing binary files. Use a hex editor instead.
I have a power point file(.pptx) generated by a program that copies xml files and content files in a slide to other slides. It simply extracts xml files and content files from original power point file and then copies xml files, finally compresses the files as a zip file and renames the file to xxxxx.pptx. (The xml files I mentioned here is, of course, about Office Open XML)
When I open this file in Keynote on Mac OS X, it works well. No error happened.
However when I use PowerPoint application on Mac OS X, the app says "PowerPoint found a problem with content in xxxxx.pptx"
I think there are differences between PowerPoint specs and Keynote specs, so I need to apply the generated pptx file to the PowerPoint specs.
But, the error does not say WHERE or WHAT ERROR IS OCCURRED, but says there are some errors in that file.
So I cannot look for where is damaged in the generated file!
How do I detect the errors in the file or validate the format of it?
I do not want to get 'restore tools' but 'error detection tools'.
I simply used Open XML SDK 2.5 Productivity Tool.
In my situation, it said the Content-Type of xml files was different from expected one when I opened the pptx file. Soon, it occurred to me I forgot to change the data in [Content_Types].xml
After I fixed it, the file is opened without problems now!!
This app also shows codes in C# and validate each xml files individually.

As can be seen on the picture TextEdit on mac gives only limited options of file extensions in which I can safe a file. Lisp not included.
Create .lisp files
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/lisp/lisp_environment.htm is describing everything step by step, but it says TextEditor on Mac can save .lisp files, which I wasn't able to do.
Load .lisp file
(load "filename.lisp") leads to error: file with such name doesn't exist
TextEditor on mac has limitations to how file can be saved (.txt, etc.). You can use any other editor, ex: TextWrangler, which allow you to write file extension. Or you can use editors specific for lisp, ex: Emacs (more massive)
It's possible that when you type (load "filename.lisp") it searches in some specific directory, where it's not present. So, to avoid this, you should type full path to the file you want to open. Ex: (load "/Users/macbook/Desktop/foldername/filename.lisp")
I would like to specify that images of a certain type (for example, .png) open by default in a program I've written when the file is contained in a certain directory. I've seen by searching (Change Default Program for a specific folder) that this is not possible on Windows 7 or 8.
I am saving these images in this directory myself, so I have some leeway with how I name the files. For example, I could change the filename a bit... perhaps to be example.myprog.png or something similar. Is there a way to set it up so files that match this filename pattern get opened, while other .pngs (in other directories) still open in the default viewer?
I don't really want to name these PNG images example.myprog (i.e., fully change the extension), because when the user is browsing the directory in Windows Explorer, I would like the thumbnail images to still show up. Also, users will be eventually transferring these images to their own machines, where they'll want to use standard image viewers to look at them.
If this is not possible, does anyone have another suggestion for how to tackle this problem?
As you are mentioning that files should be opened in a program that you have written, try to change the code of your program to read files from the specific folder. So, by opening your program from anywhere in your pc, you should be able to open files from specified folder.
This is only under windows env.
As I know windows os identifies associated application of a particular file by file extension.
Like wise each file (binary) starting with corresponding symbols ("starting symbols"). For an example .JPG starts with ÿØÿà. Let say I open this .JPG file in a Hex editor or a Text editor and then I change that starting symbols into another file type. for an example I can change ÿØÿà to .Eߣ (.mkv). So when I double click on the .JPG the Windows Photo Viewer says there are some errors or similar message. So I need to get some information about the application that tries to open that kind of a file. If I can, I need to open that file using the application that associated with "starting symbols".
Briefly when I open .JPG I need to open a default video player .mkv files. But It may not work for this example. Because I changed only the "starting symbols" of my .JPG.
Please give me any idea to do this.
Thanks!
When you encrypt the file, give it a new extension. e.g. Picture.jpg becomes Picture.encrypted-jpg. You then register as the handler for encrypted-jpg, decrypt the file, then launch the normal jpg handler.
When the shell is asked to perform a verb on a file, the shell does not use the contents of the file to determine which app to pass it to. The file extension is what determines how the file will be treated.
You wish to use the contents of the file to influence which app processes a shell verb. In order to do so you would need to create a launcher app that reads the file header and then decides which app to pass the file on to. You would assign your launcher app as the handler app for all file extensions that you were interested in.
Although you could do this, it would be much easier just to set the file extension appropriately.
The proper way to do this sort of thing is to replace the files with reparse points.
The downside is that this involves writing a file system filter driver, i.e., an operating system extension, which is a whole level of trouble above and beyond ordinary application programming. (Since Windows already does file encryption, I doubt it would be worth the effort.)
