File dialog box: how get full path and filename (firefox 3.0 problem)

Hi,
I have a smilar problem then discussed in this thread: file dialog box: how get full path and filename
Now this solution doesn't seem to work in firefox 3.0,I only get the filename but not the full path.
I have tried to solve this problem by adding *"netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalFileRead");"* in a javacript function but that doesn't do the trick
Although when i tested it local it does work.
Any idees how to solve this?
Best Regards
Stijn

Actually, that is strange and scarry. With 20% of the browser market share they decide to behave like Microsoft did in the past - they want to decide what users need and what they do not need. With 3.0 I have a real problem with some of my applications. They are all tested in IE6, IE7, FF2.0 and they all work the same way (they even work with Opera and Safari). Now, I will for sure not go there and make it work for 3.0, just because 2 out of 200 users use FF3.0. Up to now I have always recomended FF as the best browser. 3.0 causes my opinion to change completely. Competition is always good but it is a question if it is good if we have 20 different browsers out there with equal market shares.

File dialog box: how get full path and filename

Hello All
i have a problem to save the full path and filename with file dialog box.
I want to save full path and filename in the database for creating a link to a file.
I use a file-dialogbox to choose a file.
I see in the textfiled something like this
\FULLPATH\filename.ppt
but when i save the textvalue in the database or look at the seesionvalue I see
this:
F2087258868/filename.ppt
but I need the full path to create a link. How I can get?
I use version 2.2.1..
Thanks
Putcho

Hi Putcho,
You can create some javascript that puts it into a hidden item.
In HTML Form Element Attributes: onChange="$x('P15_X').value=$x('P15_FILE').value;" Then create another process that stores the value of the hidden item in your own table...
I quickly made an example with a normal text item, so you see it copies itself to the other box: http://apex.shellprompt.net/pls/apex/f?p=286:15
Hope that helps,

File Dialog Box

Hi
I am using struts framework for my web application, and i am working on reports section,
i want File Dialog box like open,save when i click generate report button , so user can save generated report in his local system.how can we do this..currently i am able to generae the data bygiving the local file path.(String filename = "c:\\csv\\billreport.csv"; FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(filename);)
my action will call my dao mthod that it will get the qry data.so when i click generate report button i am calling java script mthod its calling my action.
so how can we get the File dialog box when i click buton.i have to write some code in my java script method?
plz help me.

Just let the link point to some servlet which takes the file identifier as request parameter or pathinfo, then gets an InputStream of the file contents somehow, then writes it to the OutputStream of the response. That's basically all. If you want a 'Save As' dialogue all the time, then you need to set content-disposition header to "attachment" as well. Else you're dependent on the browser default configuration.
You can find here a (basic) example to get the idea [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html].

Automation Question: How do I work with an open 'upload file' dialog?

Preamble:
Was a very experienced VBS automation guy, this is my first emersion into the wonderful world of C# automation. Using Selenium WebDiver, I have successfully logged into a web page, filled out a few web forms, clicked on the 'add image' button and am
now faced with an open 'upload file' dialog. Pretty sure the namespace I need is system.windows.forms.OpenFileDialog so added the reference to my project.
Question:
All the examples on the web seem to relate to app development and not test automation. But, I need to automate this web application and all that's left is the image upload. What do I do when faced with an
already opened 'upload file' dialog? I know the image and path, how do I automate the process of placing the full path into the dialog and clicking the OK button or alternately, enter key?
Thank you!

I doubt that you need System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog, the browser isn't written using WinForms and that dialog is a Win32 native dialog.
Maybe you should post this in the Selenium Users
group? It has little to do with C#, it's more about how Selenium interacts with the browser.

'Open a File' dialog box doesn't show 'Favorites'

InDesign CS6, Windows 7:
File/Open gives me this:
Notice there are no 'Favorites' on the left. I have to 'browse' for my file each time. I have a ton of files on the network, and it takes several clicks to get to them. Annoying when I'm opening several files a day. The 'Recent Places' isn't too helpful here either.
Now look at what happens in InDesign CC, Windows 7 with a File/Open:
Look at all the 'Favorites' and easy browsing on the left side. Why are the 'Open a File' dialog boxes so different in CS6 and CC? I want the CS6 'Open' dialog to be just like the CC one. (I prefer to use CS6, CC is buggy on my system.)

Not helpful.
What it is... is cumbersome and un-necessary. Every other program in Windows (even Word Pad) opens with the 'standard' dialog with Favorites on the left. Why did Adobe program it differently? There has to be a fix in Preferences or something...

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.

Opening a File Dialog Box

Hi,
could somebody help me with how to open a file dialog box.
I have 1 class which has a window with the relevant widgets on it, I want to be able to click a button on the form and pop up a file chooser form then select a file or type in a new filename and then use the selected filename path in the original form to write data out to the chosen file.
i understand that i need to use JFileChooser and it will need to be in a new class (like a dialog box would be).
So basically what i have is 2 classes (the main app and a class called FileOpen.class) so how would i display the fileopen class with the JFileChooser component in it and return what ever is chosen into a string.
e.g.
String fileName = <what would go here?>
kind regards

thats the example filechooser i have working
yet when i try and implement it in my program i just get countless exception errors, im not sure if its because my program extends Jframe and not JPanel
here is my code:-
package as4;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.filechooser.*;
import java.io.*;

Please fix: Common Open File Dialog Box to support Favorites (Follow-up: Better provisioning in the Windows client)

One more thing:
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.
Please obsolete or (re)develop components in Windows, so those components support any new workflows in Windows!
On example of an application where you cannot use Favorites is Adobe Photoshop. It uses the Common Open File Dialog Box in Windows (which does not support Favorites).
Comparing Finder (MacOS) with Windows Explorer - you "seem" to have the option of using favorites to pin folders.
Well, if your application calls Windows to use the Common Open File Dialog Box - it's actually NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL to navigate to the user concepts (user folders) pinned to favorites.
Again, the favorites namespace is completely unused (not provisioned) out-of-the-box. That's may be ok, however it's not fully implemented across Windows and just another example of stuff accumulating up to being unusable.
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.

File Dialog Box often takes a long time to execute

Hi all
The Labview File Dialog Box Express VI sometimes takes 5 to 10 seconds to execute. On other occasions, it executes in a blink of an eye. Why is that so?
I have tried to use the older Open/Create/Replace File VI as suggested in one of the forum's posts...but it behaves exactly the same way. Another problem is the trimming of the filename, which has also been reported and has NOT YET been solved.
(By the way...Recently, I updated to LV 2012 SP2 by suggestion of the NI Update Manager, only to find out that I was not entitled to this SP (which apparently only includes bug fixes) and I will have to roll back to LV 2012. Still, in the evaluation version I can see that the bug is not fixed. Labview must have a lot of serious bugs for NI to ask for a paid bug fix, in which some bugs remain after having been reported a long time ago..well...)
What worries me now is that intermittent lag in the execution of the File Dialog (such a basic basic function of a program...). Anyone have any idea about this? The support menu said "Ask an engineer"...any of the NI engineers has any suggestion?
Regards
Helder

The file dialog is provided by the OS, so if it is slow it is not LabVIEW's fault.
What kind of computer do you have? Is this a laptop that spins down the HD to save power? In this case it needs to wait for the HD to spin up. (You can change the windows power profile or you can spend more money and get an SSD).
Are you very low on memory?
Does your LabVIEW program waste 100% CPU in parallel doing nothing due to bad coding?
Are you pointing to a location that has millions of files?
Are you pointing to a network location?
helder:---------------------------------------
I understand that the File Dialog is provided by the OS. But I have other applications on my PC and this doesn't happen - just in Labview. Sorry! And sometimes it
doesn't happen. Every 10 times I open the File dialog Box, 5 times it takes long and 5 times it is immediate.
(I am not low on memory, my coding is not bad>-look at the VI I sent, it just contains the fragment which uses the File Dialog Box and it behaves the same way! I am pointing to the same location that the other applications point to, I am not pointing to a network location, the PC is not spinning the disk down, etc etc.)
But yes, I will try it on another PC
(There was another post on the forum on this issue, but can't seem to find it now, just find my own post )
I attach a video demo of what happens.

What problem is that? Can you elaborate? There is a known bug in the windows dialog box that sometimes the pre-filled file names are shifted and not fully visible. This is a windows bug documented by Microsoft and LabVIEW has no control over it. It is not NIs job to fix OS problems.
helder:-------------------------------------------
Of course you can't fix the OS.
If it is a windows bug, we will have to live with it.
A previous post on your forum did not provide me with that information (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/File-dialog-trimming-the-default-name/td-p/2189874). The fact that it is a windows bug was not mentioned there.

(By the way...Recently, I updated to LV 2012 SP2 by suggestion of the NI Update Manager, only to find out that I was not entitled to this SP (which apparently only includes bug fixes) and I will have to roll back to LV 2012. Still, in the evaluation version I can see that the bug is not fixed.
Patches are included, service packs are not included. I think this is well documented. Most users are on SSP, this way you are always entitled to the newest version.
As with anything else, software has bugs. It is impossible to test a huge, complex system like LabVIEW under all scenarios. The possible number of combinations of hardware and other installed software on any particular computer probably exceeds the number of atoms in the universe. It is actually amazing how few bugs there are and how well it works. What "bug" are you talking about? Bugs are prioritized according to rules. Critical bugs are typically fixed very quickly. A cosmetic issue that only affects you and nobody else will take longer or might not even get fixed. Are you talking about a confirmed bug that could be reproduced by NI? Do you have a CAR#?
helder:----------------------------------------
I was referring to the file-name-shifting-cosmetic-bug that the October-2012 post had indicated. But if it is a Windows-bug, NI does not have any responsibility, of
course.
Regarding the bugs, of course they are unavoidable.

Labview must have a lot of serious bugs for NI to ask for a paid bug fix, in which some bugs remain after having been reported a long time ago..well...)
That sentence makes no sense! Why would the number of serious bugs depend on the cost of upgrading?? You are just rambling here....
In an ideal world, NI would have an unlimited number of programmers that can work 24/7 to immediately fix any discovered bug. This would only be possible if all users are willing to pay an unlimited amount of money for the software. As I mentioned, bug fixes are free in the form of patches, and they come out regularly. Service packs include new features and are not free.

"....include new features"..????
---->>From http://www.ni.com/labview/release-details/
"LabVIEW 2012 Service Pack 1 is an exclusive update to LabVIEW 2012 for NI Standard Service Program (SSP) customers. There are no new product features introduced in service pack releases; instead, these releases provide bug fixes and improved stability for LabVIEW 2012. For a list of these bug fixes, click here."
No new features, just bug fixes!"
Moreover: If it isn't free, it shouldn' have let me update if I am not a SSP costumer.
Now I have a 45 days evaluation version. After that, I have to uninstall and reinstall everything.That takes some time and effort.
If there is a more direct way of rolling back t the previous version, please let me know.
Thank you

File Dialog Box in the applet

Hi...
I am trying to make an JAVA applet in which i am trying to read the File through JFileChooser, so for that we need a dialog box to show up...right...
when i run that applet from the JCreator environment, it does shows me that dialog box when i click on the menu and say open..
but when i tried running just that webpage and try opening a file through the menu, it didn't work....any ideas y...
Anchal

Applets cannot access the local file system, nor can they make connections to a server
other than the one the applet came from. it can allso not run other programs.
Sign the applet or let the client set up a policy for it.

My guess is that when you run the applet with JCreator a full permission policy is used
just like with Eclypse.

What is the open File Dialog box

I am using a "File Browse..." item. With firefox a user can click on the provided Browse button or the corresponding text area to choose a file. However with IE7 the file dialog box on appears if the user clicks on the browse button.
Can someone tell me what javascript can be used to open a file dialog box? (what is called when the browse button is clicked)
Thanks.

Thanks Carl,
I thought APEX was doing some crazy javascropt stuff because I forgot about a style I had set.
Anyway, I was getting an error if an IE7 user types in a crazy string into the file dialog box and hit submit (since it is not a file). So instead of preventing it I just used a try/catch block in my custom doSubmit. If anyone else runs into this here is a little javascript to help:
(I am used a uploading image, Carl has an example of that somewhere)
<pre>
function doSubmit(r) {
if (ser_changed.length > 0) {
 if (r == "UPLOAD" || r == "SAVE_CHANGES" {
 flowSelectAll();
 $x_Value('pRequest',r)
if (r == "UPLOAD") {
try { /// this is where my fix is.
 document.wwv_flow.submit();
catch(err) {
html_HideElement('AjaxLoading');
alert('Invalid file');
} else {
document.wwv_flow.submit();
 }//save changes and stuff as request.
else {
 var ans = confirm("You are about to exit the page without saving your changes!" + '\n' + "Click cancel to return to the page.");
 if (ans) {
 flowSelectAll();
 $x_Value('pRequest',r);
 document.wwv_flow.submit();
 }//when yes!
$x('CANCEL_BUTT').disabled=false;
 }//not save changes and stuff
 }//when there were changes made.
 else {
 flowSelectAll();
 $x_Value('pRequest',r);
 document.wwv_flow.submit();
 }//where there were not changes made
 }//doSubmit
</pre>
<pre>
function html_Submit_Progress(pThis,topass){
 if(pThis.nodeName=='INPUT'){pThis.value='...Loading...'}
else{pThis.innerHTML='...Loading...'};
 html_ShowElement('AjaxLoading');
window.setTimeout('$x("wait").src = $x("wait").src', 100);
doSubmit(topass);
</pre>

How to displays the standard open file dialog box in Oracle Apps Server

Hi,
I am having a form, where i am opening a file and putting that file content in a text box.
This is my code written in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
declare
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(8000);
filename VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
filename:=GET_FILE_NAME('d:\Rajesh\Practice', File_Filter=>'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|',select_file=>false);
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
LOOP
Text_IO.Get_Line(in_file, linebuf);
:text_item5:=substr(:text_item5||linebuf||chr(10),1,5000);
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
Text_IO.Put_Line('Closing the file...');
Text_IO.Fclose(in_file);
END;
I have posted this in ORacle Apps Server.Where i was not able to get the Open Dialoq Box.It is giving an error as
"FRM-40735:WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-302000.".
I think the GET_FILE_NAME function is not supported in the Apps Server.
Is there any alternative solution for getting the OPEN DIALOG WINDOW in Oracle Apps Server?
Pls let me know.

A call to the file dialog box will call a modal system dialog. So LV can't go on executing VIs in the user interface thread."
Are you sure? I think, that File Dialog, called by LabVIEW File Dialog from Advanced File Functions Palette doesn't blocking any cycles in subVI, which running in UI Thread. Look in my old example (that was prepared for other topic, but may be good for this topic too).
2 linus:
I think, you must a little bit reorganize you application for to do this. You must put your File Dialog into separated cycle. This cycle, of course, will be blocked when File Dialog appear on the screen. But other cy
cle, which responsible for visualization will run continuosly at the same time...

File Dialog Box Position

Hi there,
I've been unable to find anyone else mention this problem, but then again, I'm not exactly what to search for.
Since installing Lion, I've had a problem where when I try to open the file dialog box to save or open a file, it's position is always further down. This is annoying, especially for programs that open files from my Download folder, which is continuinally growing as I add more stuff. The sort on this is by date, and so usually I want to open the most recently downloaded file, which I have to scroll further and further up each time.
Is there any way I can get it to jump to the top?
See the attached image to see what I mean exactly.
Thanks!

the length of the session is not the problem. it is set to 50bpm at 29.97 drop frame which gives me 2138 bars at 3 hours 51 minutes record time. I only used 1896 bars at 2.5 hours to record the program and there were only 5 tracks recorded. the problem starts when I try to bounce the session to an interleaved stereo file either online or offline. a dialog window says it will exceed 2gigs and prevents me from performing the bounce. only when I select split stereo instead of interleaved within the bounce window does it let me bounce. I think it is because the 2 resulting mono files(left and right)are each less than 2gigs. Is there a limit to the file size you can create when bouncing?
a 2gig file sounds small to me when there are video files much larger within video editing software.

Safari Upload file dialog box lets me click links and buttons on parent window.
