How do I clean out the "Open With" dialog box when I right click an image?f

Hi,
When I right-click and image to open it in a program I get a long list of programs to choose from. Many are duplicated or the same program but different version #s like Preview. How do I clean out the dupes and ones I don't want and keep the ones I do?
How would I add CS3's Adobe Camera Raw to the list?

Do a search for details on cleaning up the "open with" dialog, it's been discussed before but I'm sorry I can't remember what the fixes are.
I have duplicate choices too but have never tried to clean them up.
Regards,
Steve M.

  • When I hit the escape key to close out the open file dialog box, firefox hangs or crashes.

    When I open the "open file" dialog box using the ctrl+O and then hit the escape key to exit the box, I get an error message which I'm not able to paste here.
    it says something about a runtime problem and if I try the same thing again to reproduce the problem, it will sometimes just hang and windows vista will tell me the program is not responding.
    I've checked to see if there are any crash IDs but none were found for this time frame.
    I have even disabled all add ons.
    I'm currently using vista 64 bit edition and Firefox 6, beta edition.

    Hi,
    Please also try right-clicking on the link corresponding to the language version and '''Save Target As''' to save the Firefox installer. If the problem persists, posting [http://answers.microsoft.com/ here] would also be helpful.

    Thanks for your helpful reply. If most of my website visitors are using Safari browser (( iPhone, iPad devices )) what type of flash should we use in the headers?

    I hope to use my previous flash designs.
    Best regards
    Since Apple designed iOS (per Steve Jobs' insistence) to be specifically incompatible with Flash, I wouldn't worry about what Flash content to use in headers for devices that can never, and will never, be able to see it.
    I stopped using Flash for anything in my websites about six months ago, converting what I had to HTML5 (MP4) and any new content that would have previously been done in Flash is going the be the same.

  • How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ?

    How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ? I realize there is a 'new tab' button at the right end of the toolbar but I like the new tab function placed next the tabs ?

    The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
    Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

  • I want to install Logos on an NT4 workstation. When I click on the "Logos.msi" file the "Open with" popup box appear. NT4 does not recognise the "Logoshe Logos software on a .msi" file.

    I want to upgrade the Citadel database with the Logos software. I have download the Logos.zip file from NI, unzipped it and install it on a WIN2000 system with no problem. When I tried to install it on a NT4 workstation by clicking on the "Logos.msi" file the "Open with" popup box appear. Thus NT4 does not recognise the ".msi" file.

    Karolus,
    most likely you did not install any newer software packages on this Windows NT machine. NT does not have the MSI installer engine preinstalled thus the first MSI based software would install this engine. E.g. if you install Lookout 4.5.1 or 5.0 before you try to upgrade Logos this should not be a problem anymore. Or if you install DSC that means LabVIEW 6.1 before this shouldn't be a problem either.
    If you really want to install just Logos alone than you would need to install the MSI engine manually before by executing the InstMsiw.exe from your CD. You might get this MSI engine as well from Microsoft.
    Hope this helps

  • Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. How to revert it?

    I'm having trouble with something in firefox, it's quite minor but still bugs me. Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. I can't remember what I did to change this if it's my fault; if someone knows how to revert it I'd be thankful.

    cor-el : thanks for the pointers! I wish the solution isn't an add-on every time ... if such long-standing behaviour is going to change, the least that could be done is put in an about:config option to get back the old behaviour.

  • I installed google chrome and added it to my applications folder and it works but my desktop still has the icon of the chrome volume/disk and when i right click it gives an option to eject but it will not delete how can I get rid of it?

    I installed google chrome and added it to my applications folder and it works but my desktop still has the icon of the chrome volume/disk and when i right click it gives an option to eject but it will not delete how can I get rid of it?

    Drag it to the trash icon in your dock.  This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.  

  • How To Remove A Specific Application Name From The "Open With" Dialog

    When you right click on a file you are presented with the "Open With" menu item and you are also presented with a list of applications that could potentially be used to open that file.
    In my case, when I click on a file of type .mov I am presented with the name of an application that I want to remove from the list, because that application ( Miro.app (2.5.2) ) no longer exists on my system.
    What is the best way to remove that application name from the list?

    Ok, but how does one remove some of the applications that are appear in the context menu for a given file type? Is there an asc file which can be edited?
    For example, in my system a PDF can be opened with over 10 applications. I would like to see just the three ones I use: Acrobat, Skim and Preview.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How do I clean up, delete, "Open With" options?

    There are now many outdated options on the "Open With" menu (programs that have been uninstalled, etc.). How can I delete these?
    I found an archived support article on the Apple site that said to find and delete "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist" to delete everything and start new, but I don't find that file at the location specified (Library>Preferences).

    You are probably looking in the wrong Library. To find the correct one:
    hold down the option key
    in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Library
    in Library, go to preferences
    the file is definitely there.
    you were looking in /Library, which is not the same as ~/Library.
    There is an alternate way to do this, which is to enter this command in the Terminal, if you are familiar with using the Terminal:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

  • How to add Photoshop CC 2014 to the "Open With" dialog?

    Hi!
    As mentioned in my previous dialog. THe new Photoshop CC 2014 does not appear as programm in my Open With dialog, so I tried these steps:
    Double click on a NEF or PSD file
    Select a program from a list of installed programs
    Checked again "Other programs": No Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 at all
    Click on "Browse"
    Select "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Photoshop.exe"
    But it is NOT added to the Other Porgrams list, so I'm still not able to open it with Adobe Photoshop CC 2014
    Sorry, but that is really annoying now.
    Has anybody any idea how I can solve this issue?
    I trust the volunteering users here more than Adobe itself. So far I've no good impression since the CC story. Before CC I was never forced to use this forum. Also I got only working solutions by other user almost never by Adobe itself. :-(
    Thanks!

    I found at least a workaround in Bridge:
    Open Bridge
    Edit -> Preferences -> File associations
    Select the file type you need
    Click on "Photoshop"
    Select "Search"
    Select "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Photoshop.exe"
    Repeat the steps beginning with 3. for each file type you need
    But this only for Bridge itself. I'm still not able to open my file in File Explore. Also I've to do these steps for each file type manually.
    But at least it's working now in Bridge, but that is only a workaround, as I changed only some file associations manually. That must not be the solution.
    Any idea how to fix this issue?

  • The "open with" dialog doesn't drop down associated applications

    Although I have correctly associated applications to handle specific file types in FF4.0 I am always asked to choose an application in the open/save dialog. Is there any way I can set some sort of drop-down list showing the associated applications for me to choose one? Thanks!

    I have found further issues with the open directory dialog in FM 9 and FM 10, so I thought I would share them in case any developers run into them.
    If the F_ApiChooseFile directory argument is specified as a non-empty string and that path is not valid (i.e. the string cannot be evaluated to an existing directory) the open directory dialog will not be displayed and the function will return immediately without reporting an error in FA_errno. I think most developers who have tried to use the dialog have discovered this behaviour. If you are going to supply the directory argument you should check the path exists before calling F_ApiChooseFile.
    Also, if the F_ApiChooseFile directory argument is specified as an empty string, the function gets the FP_OpenDir property to use for the directory. If FP_OpenDir is not an existing directory (for example, the directory existed in the previous FrameMaker session and at the end of that session the value was saved in the maker.ini, but since then the user has deleted the directory) the open directory dialog will not be displayed and the function will return immediately without reporting an error in FA_errno.
    This problem occurs with API clients built with FDK 9 and FDK10 in FM 9 and FM 10.
    The workaround to this issue is to get FP_OpenDir and check it is a valid path. If it is not valid set it to a valid directory (such as the user's home directory, the FrameMaker current directory or the root of the drive) before calling F_ApiChooseFile.
    It is a pity that the FP_UserHomeDir property of the FO_Session object is not valid in Windows. It would be ideal if this property returned the user's My Documents directory in Windows.

  • When I right click "save image as" on a JPG file, I get no response at all. How can I fix this?

    I am running Firefox 34.0 on Linux (Fedora 20, KDE desktop). I checked the Mozilla download site and it says I have the latest version. When I right click on a JPEG file to save it, I get the "save image as" option, but when I select it, nothing happens. The file is not downloading. I google searched for fixes and tried all of the following, per the Mozilla support documents, all with no change in response:
    - Changing the download folder
    - Reseting the relevant preferences in the about.config folder
    - clearing the download history
    - Running Firefox in Safe Mode
    Additionally, I verified under preferences that jpeg image is set to "always ask".
    All other references to this problem seem to refer to problematic plugins, but the safe mode check shows that is not my issue. Any idea what the issue could be and how I can fix it?

    As previously stated, when I run with all of the addons disabled, the problem still exists. I just tried this again and verified it again. Per your suggestion, I created a new profile and found that the save image as command worked. Do you have any idea what part of the profile is corrupted and causing the problem? I'd like to localize the problem so I can save as much of my old profile as possible, and not have to start over rebuilding all of my settings.

  • The bookmarks button is missing from the navigation tool bar. When I right click and select customize it appears and when I click done on the customization box button, it disappears.

    The bookmarks button is missing from the navigation toolbar. It appears when I right click on the navigation and click customize. As soon as I close the customization window it disappears again. I can no longer access the library to back up my bookmarks. Why did you change it from Firefox 3 where you could clock on the bookmarks tab and be able to backup your bookmarks?

    Actually the Bookmarks Menu button doesn't appear because you have the Menu Bar visible in your first screenshot. The Bookmarks Menu button should appear to the right of the overflow chevron on the Bookmarks Toolbar if the Menu Bar is hidden.

  • How does one clean out the trash, after putting in a time line file in?

    After cleaning out some old files, it was late one night that I put a old file from the Time Line into the trash.  Now how can this be FIXED?

    Time Line...? If you mean Time Machine, then you should only delete old backups and files using the Time Machine interface.
    If you did a NO NO and moved old Time Machine backups to the Trash using Finder? Then go to > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions 12 and scroll down to the section in gray for the solution.
