File association with JWS and windows

Hi,
We are moving all our applications over to JWS from install anywhere. One final hurdle we have is the requirement to associate a file extension with a given JWS application.
e.g a double clicking a .foo file will launch JWS application MYJWSFooApp.
As install anywhere defines the install directory and exe file this is possible. Has anyone managed it with JWS ?
Thanks
Chris

Yes - you can do so with the new association feature in Java Web Start 1.5
Basically you specific the file ext and/or mime-type that you want to associate with in the jnlp file; and when javawebstart launch the application, it will prompt you to see if you want to create the association.
Refer to the JNLP spec changes in Java Web Start 1.5 for more details:

You can download J2SE 1.5-beta (which includes javawebstart) now and give it a try!

Windows 7 PrProj Files Associated with CS6 and not CC

I have the CC installed on my workstation. Since, for some reason, CC doesn't include Encore, I was advised to install Premiere Pro CS6 to get Encore installed. So I did.
All is well, except now when I double-click on a *.prproj file, Windows wants to open CS6 and NOT Premiere Pro CC. Since my *.prproj files are created with CC, CS6, of course, won't open them.
I tried to change the file association for the *.prproj file type, but for some reason, Premiere Pro CC isn't an option, and when I manually browse and choose CC, Windows still reverts back to CS6 to open *.prproj files.
What's up with this? I can open my *.prproj files if I launch Premiere Pro CC and THEN open the file, but I think I should be able to just double-click on the file in Explorer.
Can I uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 and KEEP Encore? Is there another way to change file assications in Windows?

I have found a solution. I had precisely the same problem. But I want to keep both CS6 and CC, since only CS6 has a direct link to Encore. The problem occurs whenever I install an update to CS6. Right now my Premiere file extensions open with CC. But if I install an update to CS6, the file extensions will go back to opening with CS6.
And I also tried changing the file extensions the way you did and had the same result.
But I found the way to change the setting in the Windows Registry. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project. Then go to shell/open/command and change the program from CS6 to CC.
Also, if you do a search in the section of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Adobe.Premiere.(with various endings following the word "Premiere") and change all instances of CS6 to CC, then you will find that if you go to the file association page, all the files that used to be associated with Premiere Pro CS6 will now be associated with Premiere Pro CC.

Uninstalling additional files associated with JWS applications

I have a JWS application that works fine however I would to be able to optionally remove or delete the work directory and files which are not in the JWS cache. Is there a way of doing this?

I couldn't find a direct way of doing this. But I found a workaround. I created a uninstaller jnlp so that when it is uninstalled it deletes the resources.
Uninstaller jnlp Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jnlp
     spec="1.0+"
     codebase="http://...."
     href="uninstall.jnlp">
     <security>
          <all-permissions/>
     </security>
     <resources>
          <j2se version="1.5+"/>
          <jar href="/lib/uninstall.jar"/>
     </resources>
     <installer-desc/>
</jnlp>
Main jnlp
<jnlp
     spec="1.0+"
     codebase="http://..."
     href="launch.jnlp">
     <resources>
          <j2se version="1.5+"/>
          <jar href="/lib/main.jar"/>
          <extension href="uninstall.jnlp"/>
     </resources>
     <application-desc/>
</jnlp>When a <installer-desc/> is installed its main will be called with "install" and when its uninstalled main will be called with something else.
Here is a sample main for uninstall.jar:
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          javax.jnlp.ExtensionInstallerService extensionInstallerService = null;
          try {
               extensionInstallerService = (javax.jnlp.ExtensionInstallerService)javax.jnlp.ServiceManager.lookup("javax.jnlp.ExtensionInstallerService");
          } catch (javax.jnlp.UnavailableServiceException ex) {}
               if (args.length == 0 || !"install".equals(args[0])) {
                    ApplicationServices.deleteLogDir();
                    ApplicationServices.getInstance().setStartup(false);
                    try {
                         Preferences prefs = Preferences.userNodeForPackage(Uninstall.class);
                         Preferences parentPrefs = prefs.parent();
                         prefs.removeNode();
                         removeIfEmpty(parentPrefs);
                    } catch (BackingStoreException ex) {
                         ex.printStackTrace();
          if (extensionInstallerService != null) {
               extensionInstallerService.installSucceeded(false);
          System.exit(0);
     }I think it would be nice if this functionality could be described in the application jnlp so the main on the original application could get the message and handle any cleanup it needed to do instead of a separate extension jnlp

Will Quicktime Pro convert files compatible with Mac and Windows?

I'm trying to decide if I should upgrate to Pro 7.
I created a screen capture tutorial in Snaps Pro X which outputs a .mov file. Now I need to convert it to a cross platform version. Is that MPEG? I see that QT Pro 7 exports to MPEG-4. Is that compatible with at least XP?
Also can I do screen capture videos right in QT Pro 7?
Thanks,
Steven

QuickTime Pro can't capture your screen.
Your SnapZ Pro .mov file should be compatible (depending the your choice of codecs) with any machine that has QuickTime installed.

File association with m2v gone

I saw earlier posts about trying to view/use m2v and Finder window closing and DVD Studio unable to use the files. I had the same closing file problem with Finder and m2v files after upgrading to 5.04. I was able to change ONE m2v file to Quicktime but even checking "Apply to All" and rebooting didn't work. When I right click the file the default for m2v is "Droplet" which I can't get rid of. ALL HELP APPRECIATED.

Unable to open files associated with Adobe Reader - program goes into a loop

i am unable to open any file associated with adobe reader or adobe pro. when i double-click the file, adobe reader opens up but it goes into a loop.
adobe reader opens, then a progress window opens, as if the file will open but adobe closes and opens again and the same cycle repeats itself until i manually close the program.
any advice?
update:
i can open regular .PDF files when i double-click the icon and i can also open .PDF files when i open adobe reader first and then choose open file. it's just the .FDF files that are the problem (so far).
the file in question happens to be an .FDF extension, which is an internet generated form. i attached a screen shot of the screen that pops up, goes away, and pops up again that creates the loop.
the white out section is the server name where the file was saved to. but i also get the same symptoms when i am in internet explorer, hit the generate form button.

hey ankit,
sorry i didn't see a notification that you replied to this discussion.
"1. Generate a new PDF and a FDF file. Try opening the same and see if it behaves the same way."
yes, it does behave the same way, it's just a continuous loop until i have to kill the process.
"2. Check if you have access to the PDF that is being used by the particular FDF."
by this do you mean the correct permissions? if that is what you mean, then yes, the permissions are set correctly.
"3. If possible, please send me the FDF and the associated PDF that is behaving in this way on your system."
i really wish i could but the information in the form is sensitive and cannot be sent.
as an update though, i reimaged the customer's workstation, installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1 and it worked perfectly (finally). HOWEVER, after about two weeks the same symptoms returned!

How To Remove PHP Extension File Association With Internet Explorer

When I select a PHP file to open it is redirected to be downloaded and opened (or I can choose to save) in Internet Explorer. I need to test the file in different browsers. How can I remove this automatic association?
I've tried selecting a php file from Windows Explorer and selecting a different browser with no success. I recently bought a new computer with Windows 8. It's a big jump from my old one which used XP where there was no problem opening files with
a php extension.
Pat

it sounds like you have a file association for .php, and, that you don't want to have one, so the original default behaviour would instead be preferable?

"Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': The solution does not have a WSP file associated with it." occurs while deploying from Visual studio

HI,
I get this error "Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': The solution does not have a WSP file associated with it. " when deploying my project from visual studio 2010 to
SharePoint 2010 site. I tried restarting IIS, but it didn't help. This application used to work fine until the server crashed during the deployment process. All the other applications on the same server works fine also. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance,
AM

Hi
AM ,
Thank you for your posting!
According to your error message, it says your solution does not have a WSP file associated with it. Take a look at the file system. After you Right Click -> Deploy Solution on the VS Solution, there
should be a .wsp file at <Solution Directory>\bin\<debug|release>.
Also the error can be occurring when the developer try to deploy solutions over pre-existing solutions with material changed in the solution. Go to your Central Administration Site and then
Operations and then Solution Management. Make sure that there not already a solution with the same name deployed or installed there. If there is, remove it and try deploying again.
And you could look in logs and find if there is a below error in ULS log (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS).
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Best Regards,

External Hard Drive Compatible with Mac and Windows?

So my old laptop is a Dell Latitude and I bought a Western Digital external hard drive and put all my files/pics/music on it. The information the WD came with said its compatible with Mac and Windows, but when I plug it into my brand spankin new Macbook, it doesn't register with the computer and won't show up. What's going on?
Message was edited by: philliesphan

I recently ran into that problem. In order to have the hard drive compatible for both PC and Mac it must be in a FAT32 format. In order to do this though all your files will be deleted (in order to reformat). You can do this by plugging in the hard drive into you mac and going under disk utility and there you will find your hard drive and under erase change the format to FAT32 and then you press erase (all will be deleted off the external drive though)

Best external hard drive format for use with mac and windows?

This is more of an apple operating system combined with windows operating system question, but being that my OS will upgrade an fluctuate there is not option to choose in the operating system section.
Anyways to the question(s)
This whole prbolem came about when my computer started having issues, I want to back it up and whether I can continue to use my laptop or not I will still be owning an apple in the future. I went to buy a hard for back up and got told that it is not as easy as one would think to transfer files from mac OS to windows OS and vice versa. I have a mac, my boyfriend has a windows computer; we share files. Mostly I just copy his files, but once in a while I give him files too. I have read up and talked to people and only found one solution so far to format the external drive to fat 32 or exfat. I think only mac has the exfat option, but works well between both OSs, correct me if I am wrong.
What is the difference between fat 32 and exfat?
A user posted some good info about formatting. More specifically .Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3044
If I do not want to use fat32 or exfat is there a format type that works great for mac saving that I can still at least save files to that were originally on a windows computer? Such as I copy his files from his external drive to my computer and then save them to my external drive.
Is there a better format for file sharing between mac and windows that does not set a 4GB limit?
And a silly question, Can you dual format a hard drive?
Note: This format is for an external hard drive.

I still do not know which format would be the best. That is so that I can use it easily between mac OSX and windows. Is FAT32 the only true option? How limited is it? I heard it is limited to 4GB file size for windows and 32 GB for Mac. Are there other sources I have not found with more concrete information on the limitations of this format?
I really do still need this information and I need to back up my drive before I can take the computer in for service.

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

Visual Source Safe keeps checking out my .cs file associated with a report

Hello there.
I am new in this community and I need some help. I am part of a team that works with Crystal Reports under .NET framework and we are using Ms Visual Source Safe. Any time we open a solution (.sln file) all .cs files associated with a Crystal report are checked out. This, of course, drives all of us crazy. If I try to delete the .cs file, it is added automatically. And we could not find any solution to this problem.
I compared the 2 .cs files (before and after check out) and the indeed differ. The namespace , to be more specific is different.
I believe the problem is that we are using a separate project that contains the report files and then those .rpt files are added as links to the main project.
So ... my question is... is there anyway I can tell Sourcesafe or Crystal report or any other program, application or person to stop checking out my .cs files or stop modifying them?
Thank you.

Hello Don.
Thank you for your answer.
It seems I have SP1 already installed. I am referencing the following files with versions in my report project:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine v12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework v12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore v12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource v12.0.2000.0
I personally believe that the problem is with the link files.
To be more exact, I have several projects (csproj) that handle all reports and report loading. I also have several applications that refer these projects (not all in the same time). Because all .rpt files are loaded at runtime, I made these files Embedded resources and I created a folder in the main projects named Reports where I added all .rpt files as links.
When I open main application A solution, all .cs files associated with the .rpt files are checked out (the namespace is modified to A).
When I open main application B solution, all .cs files associated with the .rpt files are checked out (the namespace is modified to B).
And so on.
And since we are a team of several developers working with all main applications, this is rather annoying.
I hope this presents my situation a little more clear.
Any ideas?
Thanks again

EA Could Not Find The .html File Associated With...

After naming folder names, I now get the "EA could not find the .html file associated with..." message when I open the .edge file. When I open the .an file, I have all elements and the timeline are gone! How can I restore it? Surely, it is just a question of changing a path, or? Please help. Thanks!

From the File > Open menu, browse to the that same folder (the newly renamed one), and select the .html file.

Is there a way to store files associated with my page (js, png, css, etc) privately on the cloud with Thimble?

Right now the only way I have found to have css and js files associated with my page is to put them in a public folder on Dropbox. Is there a better way?

If your making it Privately, then it won't visible in Thimble.
Dropbox, Box, Skydrive are the best way for External files right now.
Thimble is always public only, it won't be private. It won't be public until you share the link.
