Ability to Queue Rather than "Open" Hundreds of Files

Problem: I have 500 JPEG files to edit in Photoshop. I cannot "open" more than 200 files at once for editing.
Solution: Make a "Queue" option to allow me to queue as many files as I desire. Only one file will be open at a time for editing, and when that one is closed, the next in the queue is opened, ready to edit.
Yes, I know another solution is to buy Lightroom, but I would like to see this work using Photoshop alone or in conjunction with Bridge.

Obviously, I must halt the batch process for each file to allow editing.
No, you shoudnt necessarily have to do that.
You haven't told us what type of editing needs to be done on each file. If for example its color correction (it often is in these kind of operations) then you don't have to stop the process at all - it used to be possible to edit them and press enter to commit… Pressing enter after changing the adjustment values, will then complete the process of saving and closing the file. No Stops necessary.
This is one area where CS3 was better than Photoshop CS4. If you still have a copy of CS3 on your machine, (most smart people will have) then these actions will still work. Actions created in CS3 can be used in CS4 - they will open a dialog and allow editing of the values.
Many things including Cropping, mode changes, and most other editing processes can also be automated in this way, WITHOUT needing a stop in the action. Its retouching (image specific spotting and changes) which can't be automated

Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

There is a check box in the preference (under edit). I have not had great success with this setting, but that is what it is supposed to do. Don't expect it to happen in Chrome that has it's own PDF viewer (or the preview function on a MAC). You might also check the settings for your particular browser.

Acrobat Reader 9.4 downloads files rather than opening in Firefox 3.6.12

Clicking on a pdf file link in Firefox causes the file to download rather than opening.
I've tried checking and unchecking the "open in browser" box in Reader without success.
In looking at the Applications list in FIrefox Tools>Options>Applications, there is no listing for Adobe Acrobat Document, and I can' t find a way to add that Application. There are two entries for Adobe Acrobat Forms Document and one for Adobe Acrobat XML Data Package. Changing the Action for them doesn't resolve the problem.
Looking at the Control Panel, there is only one instance of Acrobat Reader, that being 9.4.0. I've also tried using the Repair option in Reader.
I'm running XP3 Pro Service Pack 3.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Ken

You can get that error if there is still an old Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

When right clicking to open link in new window (not tab) foxfire immediately switches windows rather than opening new window in background

Just updated to foxfire 15.0, and now each time I open a link in a new window foxfire will switch immediately to that newly opened window rather than opening the new window in the background as it did before I updated to 15.0. I am aware of the option to check or uncheck switching to new tabs immediately, but I am speaking of opening a link in a new window, not tab. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Firefox is forcing Acrobat file to be saved, rather than opening it. How can this be fixed?

When I visit a website that has a .pdf file on it and I try to download the file, rather than opening up to be read, Firefox asks where it should be saved. It does not directly open the file for viewing as it had done last week. Thanks for any advice to address this problem.

I finally found the right fix in the reset section of Check Firefox settings. I clicked on "Help" and clicked on "Troubleshooting Information". Under "Application Basics", I clicked on "Open Containing Folder". A window with my profile files opened. I selected the "mimetypes.rdf" file and deleted it. I then closed the Mozilla program, rebooted my computer and then reopened Mozilla Firefox. Voila - It returned "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" in my settings. All is well.

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

How can I file at last location rather than location of current file?

I have Abobe Reader X. In the old Adobe, when I saved a file, it took me to the last folder I was in, not the location of the current file. Thus far, I have not been able to find out how to get Adobe Reader X to do this. I even asked work help desk for help and their solution to unclick 'Automatically save document changes to temp file' worked once.
Is it possible? This is what I want.
Example:
I open file that is saved at Y:Scanned Files and save it at
X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis. I open the next file that is at Y:Scanned Files and click on File:Save As/PDF and window opens to save at Y:Scanned Files rather than at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis, where I just was. I want to save file at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Afghans so instead of just one click, I now have to go through six. Now imagine you have 30 or 40 documents you have to save. That's minimum 180 clicks versus 30. A big difference. And if you multiply it further by daily and weekly, it's a lot.
How can I get Adobe Reader X to open the 'save as' window at the last location rather than the current file's address? I also have Adobe Acrobat, but can't figure out how to get it work in that either.
I do not like Adobe Reader X. Unfortunately, it got downloaded automatically at work.
Another complaint I have is when I have Adobe Acrobat open and I click on a pdf to open, rather than open in Adobe Acrobat, it opens in Adobe Reader X (which was not the case with the previous Reader). If I want to open a doc in Acrobat, I have to go to Acrobat and File/Open, which is a pain.
Another complaint is, why do you have 'save as' and then 'pdf' or 'text'? This is another time consuming click I have to make. Add it to the 180 I'm already making above and you can see why I'm extremely unhappy and frustated with this version of Adobe.
Please let me know if the above is feasible or not and if it is, how to do it. If it isn't feasible, please make the above adjustments to Reader Y and put it out pronto. Thank you.

Put back "Open Link in New Window" first and default, rather than "Open Link in New Tab" in Safari 6.1

I do not like the order of the context menu changes in Safari 6.1. I have become accustomed to using "Open Link In New Window" first in the context list, rather than the new "Open Link In New Tab". I do not wish to use Tabs. How may I remove this?

Well, I solved it just after I posted this. I opened up the Safari Preferences, then went to the TABS section, and set "Open pages in tabs instead of windows: to NEVER", and unchecked "⌘-click opens a link in a new tab". That set it back to open in new windows.
Tabs work if I am making quick tabs to refer to something. Horrible if I want to compare two websites side by side. So, by disabling the auto TAB function, I'm back to the way I prefer my browser to work, rather than the way something thinks I ought to use it.
Don't care about having all my browsers behavior the same. If I wanted that, I would have run those browsers.

How do you attach a scan to the end of an e mail? when I try it always sends the opened scan document as the e mail rather than as an attached file!

I have a query. When I try to send a scanned document as an attachment in mail the scanned document gets e mailed as an open document rather than as an attachment to the e mail. Any suggestions?

Some possible strategies for dealing with this include:
* zip the file (control-click the file, and select "compress") and send the zipped file.
The recipients email program should display this file as an attached file. But the recipient will have to unzip it at their end.
* I've never tried it, but people say this can help: Attachment Tamer

Can i create DB in shared mem, rather than backed by a file

Hi
I'm using db 4.2.6 version and trying to create a DB in shared mem rather than a file. How do I achieve that.
While I look at documentation here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/programmer_reference/env_region.html
==========
If the DB_SYSTEM_MEM flag is specified to DB->open(), shared regions are created in system memory rather than files. This is an alternative mechanism for sharing the Berkeley DB environment among multiple processes and multiple threads within processes.
===========
But DB->open() rejects DB_SYSTEM_MEM flat out. db->open() doesn't even talk about flag:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/dbopen.html
I could specify DB_SYSTEM_MEM for DBENV.
Here is my code. Also DBENV->open() won't let me specify DB_PRIVATE.
flags = DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_CREATE | DB_SYSTEM_MEM | DB_INIT_TXN | DB_RECOVER | DB_INIT_LOG |
DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE;
dbenv->open(dbenv, dbhome, flags, 0);
flags = DB_CREATE | DB_EXCL| DB_AUTO_COMMIT;
dbp->open(dbp, NULL, dbfile, NULL, DB_BTREE, flags, 0);If I create db as above, where is it getting created? I don't see it here:

2. how do I get stats for such DB?
Appeciate any help.

When reading the documentation, I would indicate to read the documentation from the release package you downloaded. The online documentation is accurate for the latest BDB release.

That's a documentation error, it should refer to the DB_ENV->open()method. Thanks for pointing it out! As you can see, the DB_SYSTEM_MEM is linked to the DB_ENV->open() method: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/envopen.html#envopen_DB_SYSTEM_MEM

user3143985 wrote:

DB_PRIVATE should not be specified if more than a single process is accessing the environment because it is likely to cause database corruption and unpredictable behavior. For example, if both a server application and Berkeley DB utilities (for example, db_archive, db_checkpoint or db_stat) are expected to access the environment, the DB_PRIVATE flag should not be specified.

Ability To Access Links That Open Separate PDF Files

I have an android device that I am using to view a PDF file. The directory structure is as follows
Folder 1
   Master PDF File
   Folder 2
      PDF 1
      PDF 2
      PDF 3
      etc....
The Master PDF File in Folder 1 has various links that will open various PDF files in Folder 2.
I am able to access links that link to other pages within the Master PDF File. The issue is that I am unable to access links that link to other separate files. Does Adobe Reader have this capability?
Thank you.

As of now Adobe Reader does not support links that open external files. We might support this in future releases.

PDFs always download rather than open from a browser

Since upgrading to Leopard the behavior of opening PDF files has changed and I cannot figure out how to reverse it. Before, opening a PDF in Safari or Firefox would download the file then open it automatically. I can't remember, but it may have given me both a choice to download or to open. Now I just get a download option. So I save it somewhere, then have to open it. Can anyone help me with how I can get back to opening PDFs directly when they are attached in Safari or Firefox? My default for PDFs is already set to Preview.

I don't use Safari much. I'm using FireFox, now in version 3 Release Candidate 1. It's working perfectly for me.
I'm using a Add-On named *PDF Download*. It's available thru the FireFox extensions site or here: http://www.pdfdownload.org/
It's giving me full control of PDF viewing/downloading and lets me change my prefs from a new entry it creates in the Tools menu on FireFox.

I want Firefox to give me the option to download a file with a .mm extension rather than opening it as if it were an xml file

I have created a web page that provides links to files with the .mm extension. These files are created by the Freemind application (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page). When I click one of these links, Firefox opens the file as if it were a text (xml) file. I have looked at the Applications page in Preferences, but there is no obvious way to add a new application and then specify that Firefox should "Always ask" what I want to do. Essentailly, how do I do that?

Hi jhayles,
Have you looked checked in ''Tools > Options > Applications'' to see if you have told Firefox to always save the file? You should take a look at the [[Options window - Applications panel]] Knowledge Base article for details.
If you set Firefox to always ask and it doesn't, you may want to check out the [[Preferences are not saved]] article.
Hopefully this helps!

Is it possible to simply click on a hyperlink and go to that page rather than open a new tab or new window?

Currently my settings open a new tab in the same window. In a normal surfing session I may end up with numerous tabs. What if I just want to go from the page I'm on to the next...

You can set the <b>browser.link.open_newwindow</b> pref to 1 on the <b>about:config</b> page to open links in the current tab.

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow

When I click on the pinned Firefox icon it only opens and closes one window rather than opening a new window.

It used to be that every time I clicked on the pinned Firefox logo in the taskbar a new window would open. Now when I click the pinned logo it only opens and closes one window.

hello, this seems to me like intended behaviour - all other open programs behave the same way, a click on the pinned icon minimizes them, another one brings them back to the foreground.
you can open a new window by right-clicking on the firefox icon & selecting that option. the keyboard shortcut for it would be ctrl+n, or you can also [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars|add a "open new window" button]] onto the firefox user interface.
