Resize windows and manage files in save/open dialogs?

1. How to resize windows by dragging any border or corner?
2. How to manage files via a Save/SaveAs or Open dialog (rename, delete, copy other files, etc...)?
My search on these two things only comes up with comparisons and debates about Win vs Mac. Not relevant to the questions! I already run Win XP in Fusion when I have to for work. I don't want to run Windows; I just want to eliminate a couple Mac shortcomings since Apple hasn't. Yet. Maybe it has to do with patents...
Anyway, does anybody know of a utility or other way to enable these functions in Mac OS 10? (I've tried Pathfinder; it doesn't quite do the trick.)

I believe you will find a couple of third-party utilities that provide some enhancements for windows. As for file dialogs I can only recommend Default Folder X. You will find these at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

potentially useful scripts
Copy URL from clipboard and use dmenu to prompt for memo:
#!/bin/bash
later -q -t "$(xsel -b)" "$(dmenu -p memo: <&-)"
Pipe file into dmenu and open selected entry:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ -f "$1" ]]; then
FILE="$1"
else
FILE="$HOME/.later"
fi
later -q -O "$(dmenu -l 30 < $FILE)"
I bind both of the above scripts to keys using my window manager of choice.
Hopefully someone else will find this useful!

It's a good idea that should be submitted to Apple's developers. (Submitting ideas in these forums might or might not get to the right people, while submitting feedback via Apple's forms will get channeled appropriately.)
In a pinch, you could approximate what you're looking for by bookmarking all of your open tabs into a new folder in your bookmarks, then using the option to "Open in Tabs" when accessing that folder in the Bookmarks menu. That's certainly clumsy compared to a simple one-click "save state" method that you're requesting, but it's something....

I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open

I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open. I am a new user to Windows 8.

The full featured Reader for Windows 8 is Reader XI.
Reader Touch works in all Windows 8 systems BUT it is intended mainly for use in mobile tablets - I see no particular reason to use it unless you can'r run Reader XI. Given it is mainly for use on mobile that can't use Flash, we aren't likely to ever see the development team spending their time on this.
If you want the latest and greatest - at least try Reader XI, not X! (Flash is a separate download, it will prompt).

Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
usually run
EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
don't have
Illustrator you can convert the EPS into a PDF and that
Freehand will
sometimes convert into editable vectors (though it does
involve a lot
more clean up than going through Illustrator.)

Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver? The same images look fine in Preview and Finder. Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver? The same images look fine in Preview and Finder. Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos. However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled. What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

Internal Server Error when trying to upload and manage files

The instructor was experiencing this difficulty on Tuesday 1/13, after the notice was closed. I just
went into their site again(1/14/09 2:48pm), launched iTunes U and received the same error after clicking on 'Upload And Manage Files' in their iTunes U page.
I was able to reproduce the same error on our iTunes U site.

I have only found two that work correctly. They were created the same way and permissions are the same. I don't know why one works over the other.

I am on a trial version of InDesign in Creative Cloud and before I purchase need to know why and the files cannot be opened by others using CS6. Isn't Cloud compatible with CS6 design software?

I am on a trial version of InDesign in Creative Cloud and before I purchase need to know why and the files cannot be opened by others using CS6. Isn't Cloud compatible with CS6 design software?

Industry standard files such as JPEG are compatible with many brands/versions of programs
Proprietary files such as those created by InDesign are often not backwards compatible, due to new features in newer program versions
This is not unique to Adobe... MS Word DOCX files are not backwards compatible with earlier versions of MS Word

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. HELP!!

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. I know that the folders that have the problem were not transferred to the hard drive via a photo transfer application (I have a Canon camera) but I simply copied them out of the photo card and onto my old PC.
Is there some way I can open these pictures on my Mac? They work fine on a PC.

Thanks for your reply.
The files don't open in preview either. In preview I get the error message 'The file "xxxx_xxx.jpg" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize'. The folders with these un-openable pictures do not even get imported into iPhoto. When I try to import them I get an error message about the files being unreadable.
The color profile information on the un-openable files is not visible but I see that all the other files from my old drive are RGB.

Upload and Manage Files missing from Tools area

We are attempting to set up a new iTunes U site but have hit a roadblock when we get to the point of uploading content. All the instructions say to click on the "Upload and Manage Files" link in the Tools section of the iTunes page, but we have no such link:
END EDITING
EDIT ACCESS
iTunes U SUPPORT
LOGOUT
Looking at screenshots from other sites, it looks like it should be between END EDITING and iTunes SUPPORT somewhere. We have only two users registered and we are both Administrators with full edit and upload privileges as far as we can tell.
What are we missing here?

Were you ever able to get this resolved? We have the same issue.
Resolved, yes, to a point. After doing some extensive reading, I was able to determine that our fatal assumption was that the podcast media files would be hosted by Apple. According to at least one source, Apple has not offered hosting to new iTunesU accounts since January 2009.
Therefore, the reason we did not have a button for "Upload and Manage Files" is because there was no place for us to upload them to.
I have successfully attached feeds from both MobileMe and Podamatic and we are in the process of setting up our OS X Server with Podcast Producer. We will host the feeds locally and make them available through iTunes U, blogs and other channels.

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

Bought ebook from simon schuster, downloaded Adobe Digital 3.0, everytime I try to open ebook Adobe reader pops up and say file cannot be opened HELP!!!!!!!!!

I bought an ebook from simon and schuster, it told me I had to download the book to Adobe Digital 3.0. I downloaded Adobe Digital 3.0 but every time I try to get the book, Adobe reader pops up and says file cannot be opened. Simon and Schuster has been no help at all, just keep sending the same download instructions@

I have had the same problem. Adobe doesn't have an answer. I highly recommend dumping Nook and going to Kindle.

Our admins don't see "Upload and Manage Files" - even the Primary Admin. Why?

We are setting up our iTunes U site for the first time. NONE of our admins, including the primary admin, can see the "Upload and Manage Files" link in the Tools section, when we are editing a Course page. We can set up Course pages all day long, but we cannot upload content. Obviously this is a show-stopping problem, and so far nobody from Apple has been able to tell us why.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance,

Greetings Will;
Are you and your Administrators using iTunes U Public Site Manager to edit your content or does your tools section look like the attached screen capture?

Students unable to use Upload and Manage Files

Our students have been unable to use the _Upload and Manage Files_ function since last week. They receive an *Access Denied* message as soon as they click the link. Here is our debug page:
iTunes U Access Debugging

Analysis
The destination string is valid and the corresponding destination item was found.
The identity string is valid but provides no identity information.
The credential string is valid and contains the following recognized credential:
1. Student@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:brockport.edu:classes:200901-1067-DCC-400-61
The time string is valid and corresponds to 2009-01-20 15:24:29Z.
The signature string is valid.
Access
Because the received signature and time were valid, the received identity and credentials were accepted by iTunes U.
In addition, the following 2 credentials were automatically added by iTunes U:
1. All@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:brockport.edu
2. Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:brockport.edu
With these credentials, you have browsing and downloading access to the requested destination.
There is a tab with +Drop Box+ access for Students and I even changed the page access to Shared for Students, but nothing has helped.
